Chapter 1: Happy Scholar Quietly Determined

Next Chapter

The sun finally came out in the morning, and the scorching sun seemed to complain about the previous rainy day, and the heat was so presumptuous! The waterhole was peaceful, and the 20-acre waterhole could occasionally see the ripples of the fish when they were feeding. There is a village road behind the waterhole. Behind the village are the elegant bungalows of the south. At the end of the village road, there is a small northern courtyard that is rare in the south. The courtyard is made up of rooms on three sides, only one of which is surrounded by two walls, connected by a gate in the middle. Behind the courtyard was a puddle of water.

"Mother, I'll help you. Without waiting for a reply, Tan Wenhui picked up his mother's washed clothes and ran to the yard to dry. Tan Wenhui was born in the wind, with a pair of big bright eyes under his thick eyebrows, a fair and handsome face, tied in a bun, and a green robe. That look, what a handsome word.

Tan Wenhui's mother, Lin Ruoshui Lin's eyes narrowed slightly, raised her hand, enough for a moment, touched Wenhui's head, showed a kind smile, and said: "Good son, where is your grandson's art of war? If you don't study, your father will be angry again, go back to study, you can do these things yourself." "A mother will always think that her child is just a child, even if her son is 19 years old. Looking at Lin Ruoshui herself, dressed in white and shining in the sun, she really can't see that she is already the mother of a nineteen-year-old child. The whole is a beautiful and moving girl. Although he looks young, the aura of love on his body is also very strong at this time.

"You little ghost, you're almost twenty years old, and you always like to go out to play, you see other children, as old as you, there are children, let me tell you, don't go out too late. Don't let your dad use the whole village to find you like he did last time, I won't be able to protect you then. Lin smiled, touched Tan Wenhui's head and said.

Tan Wenhui took her mother's hand off her head and held it. A little impatiently said: "Mother, it has been seven years since what you said, and I was only twelve or thirteen years old at that time. I'm not a kid now. Don't keep saying no, I've heard it countless times. Besides, I still understand the truth of eating a trench and growing wise. The son has said that he has passed, and if he learns without thinking, he will be reckless. I'm going to think about it now. Goodbye, mother. With a smile on his face, he saw a figure walking towards the door, and disappeared in an instant.

"Remember that it's lunch when you come back, don't make trouble. Looking at that phantom, Lin shouted a sentence, mothers are always worried. At this time, a majestic man in a blue shirt and black beard appeared next to Lin and helped Lin who was about to sit on a small stool, and said gently: "This kid is taking leave from you again? Hahaha. ”

Lin glanced at the blue-shirted man, took his arm and stood up, leaned his head on the blue-shirted man's shoulder and said faintly: "It's not just a little, it's exactly the same, no matter how you look and temperament, you look like you twenty years ago!" The man did look a little bit like Tan Wenhui's shadow, but the whole person looked like he had a little more of the temperament of a superior person, as if the heavens and the earth were under his feet, and he was proud of everything.

"It's still a little different, I'm already a well-known Tan Shaoxia in the martial arts at his age, and I have a lover named Lin Ruoshui at his age. He's just a hairy kid who hasn't grown up now, and he's nothing but the three-legged cat life-saving kung fu that our father taught him, let alone anything good. It's almost 20 years old, and other people's children have given birth, so he knows how to play. Hey!" The person who spoke was Tan Wenhui's father, Tan Zhen. At this time, he seemed to be angry because of his son's playfulness, and like helplessness, but more like a whisper between husband and wife.

Lin Ruoshui patted Tan Zhen's chest and smiled: "If you want to blame, I can only blame you, it was you who let your son learn literature instead of martial arts, otherwise, with our son's qualifications, I am afraid that he will also be famous in the rivers and lakes now." It's just a lifelong event, I think, you should discuss it with your father, he wants Wen Hui to keep his virgin body. But that's fine, if you enter the official career one day and receive the emperor's favor, maybe you can marry a princess, and no matter how bad it is, you can marry the daughter of a minister. ”

Hearing this, Tan Zhen put away his smile and asked: "Ruoshui, do you say that this year's scientific examination should let Hui'er marry and give it a try, maybe there will be a good result." ”

Lin Ruoshui frowned slightly and said: "Hui'er only passed the township exam last year, and this year's exam, I'm still afraid that my father won't agree." I don't have a problem with that. You also know that your father loves this grandson very much, you don't let Hui'er take the scholar, his old man remembers it now!

"I'll find an opportunity to discuss with my father, I think, this matter should not be a big problem, let's prepare first, if my father really agrees, that is, it will leave within this month." As for the exam, I have a way!" Tan Zhen said with a little confidence. Then he took Lin back to the house together.

Looking at Tan Wenhui again, I saw that after he went out, he slowed down, jogged along the village road, and sometimes greeted pedestrians, very well-behaved. Although he has not yet married, the people in the village have no gossip, but often praise him for his warm-heartedness and love to fight.

After a while, a white-haired old man appeared in his sight, seeing that the old man's face was not very good, he leaned weakly against the tree on the side of the road, and asked with concern: "Grandpa Qian, are you like this? Are you not feeling well? Or, I'll take you to Mingjitang to have a look, it's not good to stay here, the sun is too strong." The old man shook his head, sighed, and said helplessly: "Xiaohui, Grandpa Qian is fine, but he is just sad, it's okay." ”

"Grandpa Qian, don't take anything to heart alone, if you come out and take a look, maybe I can help?" Tan Wenhui asked sensibly.

"Xiaohui, I know you're very good, this matter is not something you can solve, no one can solve it, you go back. I'll go back. The old man gently pushed Tan Wenhui away and staggered towards the village. sighed as he walked: wronged, wronged!

Wen Hui saw that the old man was depressed and went back by himself. I didn't catch up, but I heard a sigh and pondered for a while, and I didn't think of a reason and went back to my own route.

On the road, I was also thinking and walking, and after a while, I heard the pedestrians on the road talking and realized that it turned out that Grandpa Qian's son was now in prison because of corruption, and it was said that there was no room for maneuver because the evidence was conclusive. Wen Hui thought of this time, and directly chased after the old man who wanted money with the leisurely travel that his grandfather taught him.

That getaway is indeed a peculiar light skill, and he saw the shadow of the old man in an instant, Wen Hui didn't dare to delay time, sped up his speed, and came to the front of the old man in the blink of an eye, if Tan Zhen saw that his son's family heirloom light skill had practiced this realm, he would definitely feel that it was a wrong decision not to let him practice martial arts. You must know that when Tan Zhen shook the martial arts, he was not necessarily better than his son's current light skills.

Wen Hui came to the front of Old Man Qian without a trace of breath, and Old Man Qian was very surprised: I used to know that this kid was running fast, but I didn't expect it to be so fast! Before Old Man Qian was surprised, Wen Hui began to ask about his son. At the age of 20, curiosity is still so heavy.

The old man struggled for a long time, and finally spoke, but the first sentence he said was: The sky has no eyes, let the good people be wronged, and the traitors will be in charge! You also know my son, you learn from Brother Zheng, I gave him this name in the hope that he will grow up to be upright, let him read the books of sages, and in the future, he can take a meritorious name and benefit one party, and he is also angry, 25 years old Zhongju, 29 years old Jinshi. It took only 9 years to rise from the Jiupin County Order to the Wupin Prefect. Last month, he wrote to him saying that he would be transferred to Jiujiang Prefecture. He also said that Jiujiang and Chuyang are not far away, and they want to take me over and live for the rest of their lives. I didn't expect that. Suddenly, he became a prisoner. If my son was really corrupt, how could I still play here, I would have already asked him to discuss family law. My son knows that an absolutely upright person cannot be corrupt, and he must be framed! Since the day he became an official, he has always been conscientious and conscientious, and he has always been in good order under his rule, and he has never been corrupt! The prefect who began to work last year has a salary of nearly 100 taels a year. And when I went home to save my relatives, I didn't have much silver taels. A person like him is so greedy! Such a sage and a sage has ended up like this, the court is **! It's hard to be a good official!

Hearing this, Wen Hui saw that the old man had not continued to speak, so he looked at the old man Qian and said, "Grandpa Qian, don't worry, although I can't rescue Uncle Xuezheng, I must be like Uncle Xuezheng in the future, and be a good official." I assure you that you can rest assured that I am also a reader of the books of the sages. ”

The old man was shocked: This kid just hopes that he won't end up like my son! If everyone in the court was like this child, how nice it would be. My son will not suffer this injustice, and the thought of his son suddenly darkened again. After a few words of encouragement, he walked away slowly.

At this time, Wen Hui didn't know how to comfort the old man, and when he saw him leaving, he seemed to have thought of something, turned around and walked back in the direction of home.

Walking on the way home, Wen Hui put away his old smiling face. I made a decision very seriously in my heart. However, it was this decision that made his grandfather agree to let him be an official, and it was this decision that involved him in the martial arts that he should be very familiar with, but was very unfamiliar, and it was this decision that made him meet the love of his life and let him understand what it means to be a brother in the rivers and lakes, regardless of life or death. It was because of this decision that he unraveled the reason why his family was scattered and why his father suddenly retired from the rivers and lakes 20 years ago!
