Xu Zhen was probably afraid that his mother would say something she shouldn't have said again, so he said to Aunt Xu, "Mom, please clear the table first and wash the dishes."

Aunt Xu rolled her eyes at Xu Zhen and said, "Then please stay with Miss Su and don't be rude."

"Miss Su, my mother was joking just now, don't take it to heart. A good man has his ambitions in all directions. He must first cultivate his moral character before he can manage his family." Xu Zhen said.

Su Qiuyue raised her eyebrows and said: "Your ideals are quite lofty." Xu Zhen said: "I am a scholar, and I will definitely pass the provincial examination next year. My father is also a scholar. He taught me to have the world in mind since I was a child. I have been determined since I was a child. I want to get into the top three, be a good official, and work for the benefit of the people."

After hearing Xu Zhen's heroic words, Su Qiuyue couldn't help but feel a sense of pride in her heart: "It's well said, a scholar should have the world in mind, Zhang Zaiyou said, 'Establish a heart for the world, establish a destiny for the people, and inherit the unique knowledge for the saints. To create peace for all generations, this is really the pursuit of scholars."

When Xu Zhen heard these four sentences: "Establish a heart for the world, establish a destiny for the people, carry on the unique knowledge for the past saints, and create peace for all generations", his expression froze. He kept reciting silently, and then showed a look of ecstasy. Se said in his mouth: "Father, have you heard it? To establish a heart for the world, to establish a destiny for the people, to carry on the unique knowledge for the past saints, and to create peace for all generations. This is your and my lifelong pursuit. Now, someone finally said my truth Voice from my heart." He looked like he was crazy, crying and laughing: "Father, I will definitely live up to your expectations."

Seeing Xu Zhen's crazy look, Su Qiuyue took a few steps back in fright. After a while, Xu Zhen calmed down. He raised his hands to Su Qiuyue and said, "Miss Su, who is this person? Can you introduce me to me?"

Su Qiuyue said: "This is an ancient record. I saw it in an ancient book. These four sentences impressed me deeply, so I wrote them down." In the heart.”

Aunt Xu came out of the kitchen. She took Su Qiuyue's hand and said, "Miss Su, it's getting late, why not rest here tonight." Su Qiuyue glanced out the window. It was already dark outside and the sky was full of stars. The night is empty and lonely. So Su Qiuyue nodded and said some words of thanks.

There are two bedrooms in the house, and Su Qiuyue and Aunt Xu sleep on the same bed. Aunt Xu must have been tired all day and fell asleep quickly, but Su Qiuyue couldn't sleep. Today's experience kept flashing in her mind like a movie. She suddenly missed her parents, even those who My gossipy colleague is extremely cute now that I think about it.

Her heart still couldn't accept that she had come to another world and became a helpless person who couldn't even eat. It was late at night, and Su Qiuyue fell asleep.

The next day, the brilliant sun rose into the sky. Su Qiuyue got up slowly when she couldn't bear the heat in bed. It was such a long day without air conditioning!

After walking out of the room, Aunt Xu greeted her with a smile: "Miss Su, there are steamed buns and porridge on the table. Eat them quickly." Su Qiuyue smiled sheepishly and said, "Thank you, Auntie, I got up late." After eating During breakfast, Su Qiuyue walked around but didn't see Xu Zhen, so she asked Aunt Xu: "Aunt Xu, where has Xu Zhen gone?"

"He went out to set up a stall early in the morning. I saw him very happy this morning."

The two had a conversation, and Xu Zhen opened the door and came in. He was holding a piece of lean pork in his hand, and said with a bright face: "I made ten cents today, so I bought some pork. Miss Su, you can stay here to eat." Let’s have lunch.”

Su Qiuyue was a little embarrassed and said, "It's so disturbing and cost you money." Xu Zhen smiled and said, "You're welcome, actually I have to thank you girl. It's you who made me understand the pursuit of scholars. And "The lotus leaves that touch the sky are infinitely green, and the lotus that reflects the sun is uniquely red." It is truly an honor to hear such a poem. "

Su Qiuyue smiled and said: "Mr. Xu, last night, I was too hot to sleep, but I heard you reciting poetry."

Xu Zhen scratched his head and said, "Maybe I was talking in my sleep last night." Su Qiuyue smiled mysteriously: "Do you want to know what poem you recited?" Xu Zhen shook his head.

"Thousands of hammers have carved out the deep mountains, and the fire is burning. Don't be afraid of being shattered into pieces. You must leave others innocent." After Su Qiuyue read the poem, Xu Zhen was stunned and asked stammering: "This, is this really true? I recited it in my dream?"

"That's still false. I thought this poem had a broad artistic conception, so I memorized it carefully. This poem is about chanting the lime in the mountains. Let's just call it "Ode of Lime". What do you think, Mr. Xu?"

Xu Zhen still looked shocked, looked at Su Qiuyue, and asked unconfidently: "You really didn't lie to me?"

"What good will it do me to lie to you?" Su Qiuyue looked at him sideways.

In fact, this poem was written by Yu Qian. Su Qiuyue saw that although the scholar in front of her was stupid, he was kind and ambitious in nature, so she ate his own rice, so she gave him this poem as food money.

"Come on, come on, it's time for lunch." Aunt Xu came out with a plate of fragrant braised pork in her hand.

Su Qiuyue was not polite, sat on the stool and started to eat happily. Xu Zhen and Aunt Xu didn't move their chopsticks, just watching.

"Why don't you eat?"

"You are a guest, you eat first." Seeing that they still didn't move their chopsticks, Su Qiuyue stopped eating and looked at Xu Zhen in confusion. Xu Zhen said awkwardly: "This meat is precious, please eat more."

Su Qiuyue put down her chopsticks when she saw that they were not eating. Aunt Xu said: "To be fair, girl, we live in a remote area and usually only eat vegetables. This pork is greasy. If you eat too much, you will get a stomachache."

Su Qiuyue naturally knew that this was an excuse, they were just reluctant to eat it. She was touched and ashamed in her heart. In ancient times, productivity was extremely low, and ordinary people could only eat meat during the New Year and festivals. When she came to Xu's house, Xu's mother killed a chicken to entertain her, and Xu Zhen bought meat to treat her. It was really a treat for her. Excellent.

Su Qiuyue hurriedly took a few mouthfuls of rice and said that she was full. Xu's mother and Xu Zhen then moved their chopsticks. The braised pork was quickly eaten completely. Xu Zhen took a bowl with only the soup left. I had a full bowl of rice and ate it hungrily.

"We orphans and widowed mothers can only eat pork once or twice a year, which makes the girl laugh." Xu's mother said.

Su Qiuyue felt sad in her heart. These two women were really pitiful. They took out the most precious things to entertain her, but she was penniless and could not repay them.

After lunch, Su Qiuyue was about to say goodbye. She was really afraid that the mother and son would be poor.

Aunt Xu said reluctantly: "Miss Su, don't leave in a hurry, stay here for a few more days." Su Qiuyue said sincerely: "I eat well and live well here. Thank you very much. I'm going to look for you." My parents can only say goodbye."

Aunt Xu could only sigh, turned around and took seven or eight eggs and five or six steamed buns from the kitchen. She put these things into a cloth bag and handed them to Su Qiuyue. She also told her: "Girl, be careful when traveling alone." Some, you can take these things with you to eat on the road."

Su Qiuyue felt warm in her heart, and her eyes couldn't help but get a little moist: "Thank you, aunt. I will bother you again after I find my parents."

Saying goodbye to Aunt Xu, Su Qiuyue picked up her baggage and followed Xu Zhen out of the yard. After walking a hundred meters, Su Qiuyue turned around and saw Aunt Xu still standing at the door watching her go. Aunt Xu, thank you.

Xu Zhen sent Su Qiuyue to the city, then pointed to the south gate and said: "After leaving the city, you can go south to Hangzhou. If you don't know the way, you must ask a few more people. Now The world is not peaceful and there are many gangsters on the road. It is best for you to follow others..."

Xu Zhen chattered a lot. Su Qiuyue interrupted Xu Zhen and said, "I know, thank you. You are the first friend I made in this place. I will never forget you."

Xu Zhen's face turned a little red: "I will never forget you either." Su Qiuyue waved to Xu Zhen and said goodbye, Xu Zhen.

Leyuan City is the capital of Dayi. It is unparalleled in its prosperity. Chang'an Road in the middle is the most lively. There are high-gate courtyards and wine shops and restaurants on both sides of the road. People come and go on the road, and there is a constant flow.

Su Qiuyue looked and walked, feeling happy in her heart. She would never see such customs again when she went back. It would be even better if I had a lot of money now. I could buy some porcelain, jade, etc., and take them back with me. They are all antiques. However, his hands were empty and he could only sigh.

Suddenly, a group of men in black riding tall horses appeared in front of Su Qiuyue. Seeing them approaching, Su Qiuyue was frightened and quickly stepped aside. She couldn't help but cursed softly: "You bastards without eyes."

She raised her head, but did not want to look at the leading man in black. When the man in black saw Su Qiuyue, he frowned slightly. He reined in the reins and the team stopped. The leader in black got off his horse and walked straight towards Su Qiuyue.
