Chapter 15: Acquaintances are not familiar, relatives are not close
Then go to Nanyang Mansion, a boat rafting, smooth wind and water, and arrive safely.
Nanyang is the capital city, regardless of the size of the city, or the number of population, compared with Jing County, it is far better, it seems quite prosperous and lively.
The government examination is the second level of the children's examination, and the specifications have been improved, and the venue is in a special examination hall, which is not a temporary examination shed like the county examination.
Entering the city, Chen Sanlang first went to the trial courtyard to walk around, and said: "Step on the spot." "Then I took Uncle Hua and found an inn near the trial courtyard to live.
Approaching the government examination, many candidates flocked to it, making the inn residence near the examination hall very sought-after, and the price has increased several times compared to usual.
"Could it be that this is the legendary degree house that is hard to find?"
Chen Sanlang gritted his teeth, and he had to stay.
It's late in the evening, my stomach is rumbling, and it's time to go to dinner.
The inn itself also has a food supply, but it is rough and lacks meat, and if you want to eat good, you have to go somewhere else.
The people take food as the sky, Chen Sanlang will not grieve his stomach, he asked a good place, and went out directly and turned right.
Sanxian Building is a famous restaurant in Nanyang Mansion, with fresh meat, fresh soup and fresh wine, so it gets its name.
It was the time to eat, bustling and crowded.
When he was getting started, he met acquaintances, He Weiyang, and Qin Yushu. It seems that He Weiyang is the guest of the East, and in addition to Qin Yushu, there are two young scholars wearing Confucian shirts and scarves on their heads, who should be students of Nanyang Academy.
In terms of communication, He Weiyang is willing to spend money.
"Uh, Senior Daoyuan, have you arrived?"
He Weiyang was stunned for a moment, and then spoke.
"Shortly after arriving...... I've seen Senior Qin. β
Qin Yushu looked at Chen Sanlang, his face was a little gloomy, he remembered that when he was taking the county exam in Jing County, he had asserted that Chen Sanlang couldn't pass the exam, and if he wanted to take the government exam, it would be difficult to get into the sky, but the other party had passed the test. Although it is said that he has only passed the county exam, he cannot be called "smooth progress" at all, but meeting each other at this time is tantamount to slapping him in the face.
Chen Sanlang smiled and said, "Senior Qin, I don't know if I'm free tomorrow, I want to treat you to a meal." β
As soon as the words fell, he was rudely interrupted by Qin Yushu: "I'm not available." β
A scholar joked and said: "I want to invite our Qin Dacai to dinner, but there are people who have to queue up, idle people, etc., let's line up slowly." β
He observed his words and looks, and saw that Qin Yushu was impatient, and obviously had a mustard for Chen Sanlang, so he couldn't help but ridicule him, wanting to make Chen Sanlang unable to step down, so as to show Qin Yushu's face.
Chen Sanlang said "oh", and suddenly arched his hand and said, "Thank you." β
The scholar was stunned: "What are you thanking for?"
"Thank you Senior Qin for not agreeing, Xiaosheng can save money for a meal. After thinking about it, it is more meaningful to use this money to send to beggars, and to do good deeds. β
As he spoke, he really walked away, took out a string of copper coins, and put them in the broken bowl of an old beggar squatting outside the base of the restaurant wall. When the old beggar saw that someone had given generously, he was overjoyed and kowtowed vigorously in thanks.
Chen Sanlang proudly enteredββ
Once please put on a shelf, and then please drop your face, where does the nobility and coldness come from?
"What kind of attitude is this?"
The scholar was very angry.
"Disrespectful, arrogant and rude, he dared to do this if he took the county exam, he knew it was so, and he didn't guarantee this guy in the first place!"
Qin Yushu gritted his teeth.
"It turns out that he is the Chen Sanlang you mentioned who handed in the white papers, tsk, it's interesting to see it today. β
The voice is crisp and clearly feminine.
Although another young gentleman was dressed as a man, his lips were red and his teeth were white, and his eyebrows were crooked, and he was clearly a woman dressed as a man.
Hearing this, Qin Yushu almost vomited blood: this woman is the daughter of the dean of Nanyang Academy, surnamed Song, and her name is "Kechan", she is both talented and beautiful, and in the academy, she is the object of admiration and pursuit by many male members - including Qin Yushu.
Today, Qin Yushu finally invited Song Kechan out, and he wanted to take the opportunity of He Weiyang's invitation to borrow flowers to offer Buddha and make a good show, but he never thought that before he entered the door of the restaurant, he was damaged by Chen Sanlang. What's more, Song Kechan actually said that Chen Sanlang's gesture was interesting.
It just doesn't make sense!
He Weiyang stood over there, quite embarrassed: Chen Sanlang was so bold, even Senior Qin dared to offend ...... Hey, it's not good to run into him, the next time you see him, stay away.
Chen Sanlang, who entered the building, didn't care what they thought, sat down, ordered four or five plates of good dishes in one go, and feasted on them.
When the old housekeeper Uncle Hua saw this, his eyes puffed out.
After eating enough, he didn't go back to the inn, Chen Sanlang put his hands behind his back, Shi Shiran, walked from this street to that street, looked east and west.
Uncle Hua muttered in his heart: Seeing that the exam is coming, why didn't the young master go back to the room to warm up his books, what are you tossing outside?
After wandering for more than an hour, Chen Sanlang returned to the inn satisfied, and tired the housekeeper with old arms and legs enough.
The next morning, I prepared a gift and went to North Street to visit relatives.
The relative is Chen Sanlang's eldest sister.
Chen Sanlang has two elder sisters, the second sister married in this county, and there are many contacts on weekdays, which is quite cordial, but the eldest sister married to Nanyang Mansion, which is a long distance, and because of some reasons, she does not come and go for leisure.
The eldest brother-in-law's surname is 6, and his name is "Da", and he is an official in the Yazhao Mill Office of Nanyang Mansion. The Terruma Office is in charge of the archives and is under the jurisdiction of the prefect.
Although he is not a real official, he has worked hard for three generations of officials in 6 families, and he has really earned a family business in this generation.
"Well, it's this one. β
Chen Sanlang has never been here, but he only remembers that the eldest brother-in-law's family came to Jing County the year before last, and the two sides touched each other, and they didn't feel so happy.
Uncle Hua followed Chen Wang's family, so he recognized it.
The courtyard is deep and the gate is closed. Knocking on the door, someone opened the door in a moment, poked out a face, and asked, "What are you doing?"
Uncle Hua knew him and hurriedly said, "6 Butler, I'm Uncle Hua, I've been here twice." β
The 6 butlers stared at him, and finally recognized: "It was you, who is this?"
"My young master Saburo. β
6The butler said "oh": "I see, you wait a minute, I'll go and tell you." β
After that, he closed the door again.
Chen Sanlang sneered: "What a big rule." β
Uncle Hua smiled bitterly and said, "Young Master, the people in this big city mansion are like this. β
After half an hour, the door finally opened, and the two of them were taken in to drink tea in the hall.
When they saw the eldest sister, they just greeted each other very politely, asked some questions, and then were speechless, relatively speechless.
I stayed to eat at noon, but because I had to wait for 6 Da to come back before opening the table, I finally waited for most of the hour, until Chen Sanlang was a little dizzy with hunger, and 6 Da came back with a big belly, but he had eaten outside.
"San Lang is here. β
casually asked, and ordered, "Let's start eating." β
Chen Sanlang waited for this sentence, regardless of thirty-seven twenty-one, picked up the chopsticks and started work, the end is the chopsticks like flying, the chopsticks and chopsticks are sandwiched with meat, gobbling up, ignoring the eyes of others.
6 Seeing this, he frowned: How long has this brother-in-law not smelled meat? So hungry and unbearable? A few days ago, I heard that my wife's mother's house was ruined, and it was not as good as a year, and it seemed that it was. Could it be that he had come to borrow money, or to seek relief?
Hmph, I hate such in-laws the most.
After dinner, 6 Da asked some questions intentionally or unintentionally, and learned that Chen Sanlang came to take the exam, and he was slightly surprised: Chen Sanlang's terrifying illness, he knew it, and he didn't know what luck he had this year, but he was tested by this brother-in-law.
But that's the end of it.
6 Da Ke did not believe that Chen Sanlang could do much on the road to the imperial examination, the number of students in the world is tens of millions, among which there are countless smart people, but in the end there are too few people who can pass the examination. What ability can Chen Sanlang have to soar?
"San Lang, you are such a big person, why are you still obsessed with coming to the exam and wasting a lot of money in vain? Although my brother-in-law's family looks rich, they can't give you much. β
When Chen Sanlang heard this, he became inexplicably angry: "Brother-in-law, it seems that I have grown so big, so I just went to your house to eat this meal, why did you ask what you wanted?"
6Da said angrily: "How do you speak? I am a poor mother-in-law, I can't bear to see you loser, so I kindly discipline you, do you think the imperial examination is so easy to test?"
"At least I've passed the county exam now. β
"Whew!"
6 Da almost pointed at the bridge of Chen Sanlang's nose: "What does the easiest county test calculate, and what can it prove? People who have passed the county test, I can slap down seven or eight in this Nanyang Mansion." I see that you have been blinded by lard, and you don't know how thick the sky is. β
Chen Sanlang wiped the saliva foam that was sprayed on his face, but calmed down: "Brother-in-law, I will show you the exam, farewell." β
Huff.
"Look, look, I'm. β
After Chen Saburo left, 6 Da sat down, and his anger did not subside.
"There's no need to be angry with him, my younger brother is like this, he has been spoiled by his mother since he was a child. β
"Hmph, my mother-in-law is really getting older and more confused. When the time comes, I will be destitute and destitute, and I will have no choice but to come to our house? Isn't it a joke to be seen? How do my neighbors think of me? How do my colleagues in the yamen think of me? San Lang doesn't pee and take pictures, and with his yellow-faced and thin-skinned appearance, what future can he take the exam?"
"Hey. β
The woman sighed: Over the years, she has deliberately stopped interacting with her mother's family, but she has never been able to stop this uncompetitive brother from taking the initiative to come to the door, so that her man is angry and angry, and hopes that Chen Sanlang will finish the government exam soon, go home, and don't come again in the future......
Out of the outside, Chen Sanlang stood still suddenly, and smiled, his smile was extremely secretive.
When Uncle Hua saw it, he felt a little frightened: "Young master, are you okay?" β
"It's okay, what's the matter? I've never been as good as I am now. β
"But ......"
"No need, go back to the inn, I'm going to review my homework and prepare for the exam. β
Because of the first time I came by boat and encountered water thieves, it was delayed, and now it is imminent to officially start the prefectural examination. It's not about grinding guns, reading books for a while, writing for a while, but it helps to calm down and adjust your mentality, which is also the key.
