Eight years away from Longchang.

The death of the emperor Chen Yu announced to the world that the country had been mourned for three years, and the whole country mourned.

The crown prince Chen Xi succeeded to the throne and changed to Yuan Hongqing.

Emperor Hongqing felt that the first emperor was diligent and thrifty, chased the temple to be "benevolent", and said "filial piety" to the emperor.

——

The Son of Heaven died, and the whole country mourned.

Anyuan County is now also a plain county.

The small county town, which is not very lively, is more quiet.

Wu family pharmacy, Cui Xiu took care of the accounts, told the guys to take care of the store, and then took the account book and went to Wu's house.

He is now the bookkeeper, but rather the shopkeeper of the pharmacy, because what he does is no different.

Of course, he doesn't care about this, the pharmacy is not busy, there are guys to take care of it, he usually only needs to take care of the accounts, at most sometimes he goes out to negotiate business, so there is no trouble.

Now he has been in the Wu family pharmacy for more than two months.

On weekdays, in addition to the things in the pharmacy, it is either to practice martial arts or to practice literature, but it is very fulfilling.

And with the passage of time, the scriptures in Cui Xiu's original memory can be regarded as gradually running-in, and with the insight of his previous life, the articles he wrote have a little more charm.

I don't dare to say that I will definitely win, but I asked Wu Zhen and a college gentleman to see it, and they all said that it is not bad, as long as the luck is not bad, the township test should have a few more chances.

Cui Xiu is also quite satisfied with his own progress, he is not eager for the title of the gold list, he only needs an identity as a lifter, and it is enough to be able to stand in this world and have a certain status.

In this regard, although he does not think that he is a genius, he still has some confidence.

One of the reasons is, firstly, because the original master's knowledge is actually not bad, and the reason why he failed the township test is mostly because of his unsuccessful personality, and the articles he wrote seem to be a little rigid, so he fell off the list.

Second, it's a matter of luck.

And now it has been replaced by Cui Xiu, who carefully analyzed his own shortcomings, and then consulted Wu Zhen and a few gentlemen, he studied a lot, and thought that he had been preparing seriously for three years, and the chance of the township test was still not small.

In addition, he recognized the danger of this world, and did not relax his martial arts cultivation.

The two martial arts obtained from Wu Zhen's hands, while carefully studying, had already been cultivated to the consummation realm by him with the help of source power.

Although his current strength is not comparable to the methods of Guan Yuan and others who have never seen him, he is no longer the same as himself two months ago.

It was Wu Qi, Wu Qi's guard, who was actually no longer his opponent, but Cui Xiu didn't want to show too much, so he just hid something.

Rao is like this, Wu Qi is still very surprised, and later Wu Qi listened to it, and he was also surprised.

directly praised Cui Xiu's amazing talent, but it is a pity that this talent did not appear on the road to the imperial examination.

For this reason, Cui Xiu was specially invited to drink a meal.

Cui Xiu was a little helpless about this, but he didn't explain much, and the two had different ideas.

......

"Steward Xu, I will sort out the accounts of the pharmacy this month, and I will bother Steward Xu to look at it. ”

After entering the Wu Mansion, Cui Xiu did not go to find Wu Zhen, but first visited Xu Wei, the housekeeper of the Wu Mansion.

Xu Wei is a half-hundred-year-old man, looking ordinary, his right leg is still a little lame, like an ordinary farmer, but he is shrewd.

Listening to Wu Zhen, he is still a person who has been in the rivers and lakes, and it is not simple.

Although he is only the housekeeper of Wu Mansion, his status in Wu Mansion is not low, that is, Wu Zhen, and he often asks him for advice and begs for a living in Wu Mansion, this person is not easy to offend.

"Cui Gongzi is polite, you are a friend of my son-in-law, my son-in-law can be instructed not to be lazy, why do you bother to send it in person, let the guy send it, if I let my son-in-law see it, Lao Xu, I can't explain it." ”

Xu Wei smiled kindly, his face wrinkled to a piece, like an old chrysanthemum, showing a mouthful of yellow teeth, looking very honest.

Seeing this, Cui Xiu didn't dare to take Xu Wei's words seriously.

"Where, Brother Wu often said that Steward Xu is a person with great wisdom, and the younger generation also pointed out that he could have the opportunity to ask for advice or two, but unfortunately he didn't have that blessing, and now he had to be diligent and go back to the house to visit. ”

"Haha, or Cui Gongzi speaks well, I don't know where it is stronger than the few little ones in my family, I still want to ask Cui Gongzi to teach me those grandchildren who are not successful, but unfortunately my son-in-law said that you want to study the sage's article, so I don't dare to disturb, if the son is free, I don't know if you can go to me to sit down?"

What Steward Xu said, I don't know if his mind is true or false, at least Cui Xiu can't tell whether he is polite or sincere.

"That's the blessing of the younger generation, if you have leisure, you must disturb it. ”

Cui Xiu smiled, bowed slightly, and said, "It's just that I still have something to see Brother Wu today, otherwise I want to bother one or two, Steward Xu, I'll leave first." ”

"Childe is polite. ”

......

Cui Xiu and Xu Wei said that they were going to find Wu Zhen, which was naturally not a kind word, he did have some things to discuss with Wu Zhen.

Now that Emperor Longchang has just died, the situation has changed, and although the crown prince has succeeded to the throne, it is difficult to say what will be the follow-up.

It seems that what has changed in the DPRK has nothing to do with him, but in fact it is not.

He still has to take the township examination in the future, the imperial examination is no better than others, you must prepare early, it is best to be able to keep up with the current situation, and study some corresponding articles in advance, otherwise one is not good, no matter how well your article is written, it will be difficult to succeed.

Cui Xiu didn't go to the academy to continue his studies, and there were only a few ways to get news, and the most convenient one was Wu Zhen.

In addition, Wu Zhen is also going to Shendu next year to participate in the Spring Festival, so he should also pay close attention to this matter.

Wu Zhen's road is obviously wider than Cui Xiu's, and he should have already understood the news that Cui Xiu wanted to know.

In this case, Cui Xiu can naturally ask him for advice.

With Wu Zhen's character, he shouldn't mind giving a pointer.

......

"Zixing, I'm interrupting your study. “

When Cui Xiu saw Wu Zhen, Wu Zhen happened to be reading in the study.

"It's Dongshan. Wu Zhen was very happy when he saw Cui Xiu: "What are you doing politely with me...... By the way, you've just in time, I'm about to look for you. ”

Cui Xiu was a little surprised when she heard this.

Seeing this, Wu Zhen first invited Cui Xiu to take a seat, and then said: "Dongshan, now that the first emperor has died and the new emperor has ascended the throne, it is not a trivial matter, this matter seems to have little to do with you and me, but it is actually very important, so I am about to go to you, I don't want you to come first." ”

"I'm also about to ask about this, I don't know what news you have Zixing?"

Cui Xiu listened to what Wu Zhen said about the emperor's death, and also understood that the other party's thoughts should be the same as herself.

This is not surprising, or this is how it should be, with Wu Zhen's background and current identity, compared to Cui Xiu, he should pay more attention to this kind of thing, and the reaction should be faster.

"The new emperor ascended the throne, I got the news that there must be a big change in the court...... As soon as the situation changes, the matter of the imperial examination, I am afraid that it will involve a lot, you and I have a future in the article, if it is not good, I am afraid that it will be another three years, this matter must not be neglected. ”
