Chapter 16 Xiao Rushui's thoughts

Xiao Ruoshui, who was tortured by the princess and was almost inhuman, hid on the deck of the cabin to blow the wind and drink. Looking farther and farther away from Henan, he was a little sad, looking at the mountains and rivers of his distant hometown, he suddenly felt a little reluctant, and the old things in the past appeared in front of him bit by bit.

"Shui'er, you must study hard, you must take the Jinshi exam, I will also let the Zhang family take a look, our Xiao family has scholars. "Since he was born to be sensible, this is what my father has been saying when he was alive, he actually loves to read, but he doesn't like to read exam books, he likes to read other books, astronomy and geography, all kinds of books. But his exam books are also good, and he can get praise and praise from the teacher every time, and every time he pulls the old rich man Zhang's kid far away, and the angry rich man Zhang talks to his son every day, and he can't lose to the kid of the Xiao family.

He didn't know what his father wanted him to study, and he had always compared himself with the children of the Zhang family.

It wasn't until one day that he heard his parents chatting that he realized what was going on.

My father and Rich Zhang were good friends when they were young, but my father was illiterate, so all the contract texts and letters were read and written by Rich Zhang. Once, my father bought two paddy fields with his life savings, but he was short of money, so he asked Zhang Caizhu to borrow money, but he didn't expect Zhang Cai to take the initiative and bully his father for not being literate, and the result was that the small money became usury, and he was forced to take the two newly bought paddy fields as a price and return them to Zhang Caizhu.

The father went to sue with the list, but was beaten out by the government with a stick, saying that it was unreasonable. For this reason, the father fell seriously ill, and since then he has been silent, he only wants his son to be able to make his son work, and he can't let his son be illiterate, and he wants his son to surpass himself, become an official, and fight for himself. Xiao Ruoshui was forced by his father to study when he was very young, and he couldn't play with children of the same age every day, and he had to go to school with the rich children in the village, but those rich children looked down on Xiao Ruoshui. So when Xiao Ruoshui didn't have anything to do, most of them sat alone on the hillside and watched the scenery, no one played, only when Uncle Feng, who opened a restaurant next door, couldn't be busy, he asked him to bring the little spirit kite. The little kite is his only playmate. Because he usually spends most of his time looking at the scenery, although the little spirit kite is dirty and covered with mud by him, he still likes to be with him and play with him.

Later, the master found him and wanted to take him as an apprentice and take him away, but his parents did not agree, because their children wanted to be officials and take the Jinshi examination. The master didn't take him away, but stayed at home for a few months and taught him a lot of things. I'll come back every year to check on his practice. He had seen the magic of the master, because he also wanted to reach the level of the master, so he worked hard.

Tongsheng's exam is over, he didn't get in, the strange thing is that the son of the rich man Zhang was admitted, he was very incredible, his father severely scolded him, and he was not allowed to touch the things taught by the master again, and he just wanted to read, read the sage books, and read the books of the Jinshi. He was very serious about his studies, and everyone was impressed by his hard work. But it is always difficult to achieve the desired goal.

He was very depressed, how could he not even pass the exam for the son of the rich man, why could he be admitted, but he couldn't pass the exam.

The father's disappointed eyes gradually became more, and after the most difficult time, after meeting the rich man Zhang and ridiculing him, he was bedridden, but the father said a word on the sickbed, just a word, he must be in the examination to lift people, more than the son of the rich man.

It's almost the boy's exam, he is already a little scared, he doesn't know how to do it, what to do is absent-minded, the master saw his situation, Zhilu said his things, looked at him and sighed, and said: "Do you really want to test for fame? Then I'll give you a token, you take this to find someone, you will definitely be able to pass the test, but you ask someone, others will definitely let you help him do things, then you may not be able to refuse." ”

He looked at his father's body, and he knew that his father would not be able to take it off for long, but his father was waiting, waiting for news of his son's lift. He had no choice but to find someone and find the Eighth Prince's Mansion with the master's token. It was something he didn't expect. Unexpectedly, the eighth prince asked people to give him a token, and then brought a package, and then said to him: "Maybe I will ask you for help in the future, and you must come then." ”

He only said: "As long as I am lifted, I will definitely do what you ask me to do." ”

He took the token to the provincial capital and brought it to the governor, who did not speak, but arranged for him to stay.

When it came to the children's exam, he took the first place, and a few months later, he was in the top three in the lifting exam. At this time, he understood a truth, what imperial examination, what selection, is a chess piece in the hands of others.

When he returned to the village with a saffron and a ribbon, his father, who had been bedridden for a long time, was dressed in new clothes and greeted every guest at the door with a red face, as well as his son who had returned. That day, he still remembered that his father was very happy, very satisfied to look at the full house of guests, and what made him happiest was that the rich man Zhang returned the field, apologized vigorously, and gave a large amount of gifts. Looking at the way the enemy of many years admitted defeat, he smiled proudly, laughing loudly and heartily. Yes, there is nothing that makes Daddy happier than his son, and there is nothing that makes him happy more than his son.

That same night, the father died, smiling, and he saw his son's appearance, and he went satisfied.

Xiao Ruoshui didn't shed a single tear when he sent his father, his eyes were dull, and he silently watched his father enter the ground and erect a monument. He stayed in front of his father's grave, looking at his father's grave, which was repaired little by little, clean and neat. He built a drainage ditch around the tomb, which was built in perfect order with green bricks, and carried two pines and cypresses at the end of the drainage ditch, so that the water from the drainage ditch could flow into the pines and cypresses, and even if no one watered them, they could grow lush and green, so let them wait for their father.

When he returned home, he comforted his mother, and he made up his mind at this moment, he was going to stay at home and wait for that promise, for that task that he didn't know when the road would come.

When his mother mentioned his marriage to Lingkite more than once, he shirked again and again, because he had something to break and didn't dare to give a promise, so he silently felt guilty in waiting.

The spirit kite is very sensible and can always understand him, but I don't know how many tears he shed behind his back. She didn't say all this, she always went to bring him food with a smile on her face, she only knew that Lu Dao just waited, although she didn't know what Lu Dao was for Brother Xiao didn't hurry up to marry her, but she knew that she would definitely wait until that day, and she must be the most beautiful bride and the happiest bride on that day.

Xiao Ruoshui opened the school, waiting for the task, waiting for four years, and when the task came, he had a feeling of relaxation, and he knew that as long as he finished this thing, the stone in his heart would fall to the ground, and he could do what he wanted to do.

That day, he took the spirit kite to climb the mountain for the first time, and told her in person that he would marry her when he came back. She knew that he would come back to marry her, and she would soon be the center of attention. She was reluctant to let him go, and when she left, she gave him one ride after another, and climbed the highest mountain in the village to see him go. Xiao Ruoshui looked back at the spirit kite on the top of the mountain, and said silently in his heart, wait for me, I will definitely come back.

"What do you think, do you want your daughter-in-law?" A voice interrupted Xiao Ruoshui's memories, and he didn't need to see that it was Princess Chiba.

Xiao Ruoshui was a little helpless, shook his head, and slowly walked back to the cabin.

Princess Chiba followed behind and kept asking.

Xiao Ruoshui was forced to be helpless, so he had to tell him about the spirit kite.

"Is she good-looking, is she gentle, is she a girl like water?" Princess Chiba asked.

When Xiao Ruoshui heard the question, he began to think about the spirit kite again, he looked into the distance and said, "She is very beautiful, very gentle, and a girl like water." ”

Princess Chiba was silent after hearing this, and asked again: "Do you like her?"

Xiao Ruoshui smiled and said: "I like her very much, she is what I want to marry in this life." ”

Princess Chiba suddenly made a straight face and said, "I'm sleeping."

Xiao Ruoshui was used to seeing her turn her face like a book, shook her head, and lay on the bed. Slowly, I fell asleep.

Suddenly, Princess Chiba stuck her head out of the quilt and said, "Xiao Ruoshui, you still don't know my name, right?"

Xiao Ruoshui said in a daze, "Yes, what's your name?"

"If you are not sincere at all, I will not tell you." The princess slipped into the bed again.

Xiao Ruoshui lazily took care of him and continued to sleep. The princess got out of the quilt again and said, "My name is Li Yunmeng." After saying that, he got into the quilt again.

Xiao Ruoshui was dazed when she heard it, and she didn't take it seriously, so she fell asleep.

The next day, when the princess asked Xiao Ruoshui if she remembered her name, Xiao Ruoshui replied indiscriminately, and Xiao Ruoshui was forced to remember the princess's name after being punched and kicked.

When he saw the princess sitting on the side angrily, Xiao Ruoshui's first feeling was that this journey was too long, and he couldn't stand it a little, so he looked forward to meeting Wang Shan and Zhao Cheng as soon as possible and ending his romantic journey for two. What he didn't expect was that it didn't take long for his wish to come true.
