Beloved wife

Yan Jing doesn't know what's going on at Master Zhou's house.

After writing a book for Li Xiucai and the others that day, the county magistrate Zhu specifically mentioned that "things are rare and expensive", Yan Jing felt that it made sense, so he didn't continue to sell his own words for twenty cents a piece, but asked the bookstore The boss asked for three days off to buy new year's goods or something.

Wei Lingxiu also asked for leave.

When he asked for leave, Zhao Xiucai let out a long sigh of relief.

Zhao Xiucai's family background is average, his ranking in the exam was average, and he failed to find a good teacher... After taking the provincial exam, he realized that it was difficult for him to make further progress, and immediately gave up the exam.

These years, he has nothing to do besides teaching, and he will continue to study. The previous knowledge has not been forgotten, but his level is really average.

At least, he can no longer answer some of the questions Wei Lingxiu raised.

Sometimes Wei Lingxiu mentioned books that he had never read!

It was really painful and joyful to receive such a disciple... Zhao Xiucai thought about it, and brazenly asked his former classmates for advice, and also praised Wei Lingxiu by the way.

Wei Lingxiu, who was praised by Zhao Xiucai, was being forced to endorse by Yan Jingze.

It will be Chinese New Year in ten days or so. Recently, several families in Xing'an Village have slaughtered pigs, so Yan Jing simply went to buy a pig and came back.

The pig's head was smeared with salt and waited for the New Year to worship the ancestors. As for the pork... half of the pig was marinated and kept for eating slowly, and the remaining half was cut into two, and Yan Jing kept the front legs to eat at home. He picked up the remaining pig hind legs.

When Yan Jingze was marinating pork, Wei Lingxiu was endorsing the book beside him. Now seeing Yan Jingze's actions, he asked curiously, "Brother Yan, what are you doing?"

"Go and deliver meat to my mother." Yan Jing looked at Wei Lingxiu: "You can go with me."

"Okay." Wei Lingxiu stood up happily, and then heard Yan Jingze say: "You continue to memorize, if there is something wrong, I will remind you."

In the previous ten years, Wei Lingxiu read a lot of scriptures, and even copied a lot of Buddhist scriptures. He knew all the characters and roughly understood the meaning, but he couldn't memorize...

So now he is staring at Wei Lingxiu's endorsement every day.

Wei Lingxiu: "..."

Yan Jing walked ahead with a pig's leg on his shoulders, and Wei Lingxiu followed behind with a book, reciting it as he walked...

The people in Xing'an Village are no strangers to it.

Although the children in the village are still afraid of Yan Jingze, the adults have a much better impression of Yan Jingze: "Yan Da seems to have really changed."

"Before he wanted to go to my vegetable field to get food, he actually gave me back the money!"

"He bought furniture with Lao Liu, and he also gave money."

"It's true that the sun is coming out of the west..."

……

Yan Da's change is really great, and that young master Wei.

They always thought that he would be beaten up by Yan, but he didn't!

Yan Da treats him... well?

Can Yan Jing not treat Wei Ling well?Seeing that Wei Lingxiu couldn't get out of his back, he wanted to kiss him.

Too bad he didn't dare.

When he first had the memory of the original owner, he felt that Wei Lingxiu must have loved the original owner terribly, but after talking with Wei Lingxiu later, he realized that it might not be the case.

Wei Lingxiu would follow him out of Wei's house, maybe he was bullied at Wei's house and didn't want to stay there anymore.

In his previous life, Wei Lingxiu encountered a more serious situation. He was whipped by his family, and his friends avoided him in fear. Maybe he... only the original owner can stay?

It's different now!

Now that Wei Lingxiu has other choices, will he not like him?But he was reluctant to let Wei Lingxiu only rely on him...

Yan Jing was tangled up.

Wei Lingxiu was also troubled.

When they were in Wei's house, they were plotted against, Yan Jing always protected him, and even made him feel that Yan Jing liked him, but these days, Yan Jing has not shown at all...

Does Yan Jing... not like him?It's only because he gave Yan Jingze money that Yan Jingze was willing to help him?

The two walked for an hour before arriving at the village where the original owner's mother was.

The original owner's mother was not pretty, she was just an ordinary rural woman. When the original owner's father sold her, he actually gave her to a childless bachelor in the next village next door, and asked her to give birth to that bachelor. .

The bachelor was short in stature, and he couldn't find a wife because he couldn't work. After getting the original owner's mother, he treated the original owner's mother pretty well, so the original owner's mother stayed with her heart and gave birth to him. After the female, she has gained a firm foothold.

Before the original owner worked in the casino, she often came here. The original owner's mother was poor and would not give the original owner money, but when the original owner came, she would still stutter... Later, the original owner entered the casino and looked down on this stutterer. The home was far away, and I never came again.

Today Yan Jing came over, this thin and old woman in her 40s was taken aback.

Yan Jing didn't say much, he left a quarter of the pig, gave her a purse containing ten taels of silver, and then took Wei Lingxiu away again, continuing to stare at Wei Lingxiu's endorsement.

Here in Xing’an Village, there are vegetables and radishes that can be eaten in winter, and people will also buy dried bamboo shoots and kelp as New Year’s goods, so there are many things to eat.

When he got home, Yan Jing cut up the soaked dried bamboo shoots, and began to chop pig's trotters, preparing to make pig's trotters stewed with dried bamboo shoots.

As he was chopping, he suddenly saw a sedan chair being carried over here, and a person walking beside the sedan chair asked, "Excuse me, is this Mr. Yan's residence?"

"Mr. Yan?" Yan Jing was puzzled.

"It's Mr. Yan Jing Zeyan, I heard that he is also called Yan Da, can he live here?" He asked respectfully, he was dressed as a servant, but he also looked educated.

"Yes." Yan Jing said, with a knife down, the pig's trotter was easily chopped open.

"Where is Mr. Yan?" Another voice rang out, Yan Jing raised his head, and saw a middle-aged scribe coming down from the sedan chair.

"I am Yan Jingze." Yan Jingze cut down again.

The middle-aged scribe was speechless: "Don't be joking..."

However, as soon as the middle-aged scribe finished speaking, Li Xiucai, who was left behind because of the bad road, caught up: "Master Zhou...Master Zhou, have you met Mr. Yan?"

Middle-aged scribe: "..."

The middle-aged scribes were dumbfounded.

This middle-aged literati is Mr. Zhou from the next county. He loves calligraphy the most. When he saw Li Xiucai and others' greeting cards that day, he was astonished. He wanted to ask Li Xiucai and others for advice.

In the end, Li Xiucai and others told him that those greeting posts were not written by them, but by another person, and all the greeting posts were written by one person!

Mr. Zhou couldn't wait to see this person, so he came by boat, got off the boat, and hurriedly asked someone to carry him to find someone.

It turns out... this butcher-looking man is that Mr. Yan who is outstanding in calligraphy?

Master Zhou was stunned.

Yan Jing finally finished chopping the trotters: "Everyone, please come in."

Master Zhou entered, and saw that in the empty main room, there was only a desk, and a young man of seventeen or eighteen years old was sitting in front of the desk, reading a book, other than that, there was nothing else.

But he is not disappointed.

Because when he approached the desk, he saw the words that surprised him.

Yan Jing took the time these few days to read silently to Wei Lingxiu, using the fonts he had just learned.

Let Wei Lingxiu read more of these good characters and improve his appreciation level.

Most importantly...he wants to show off, too!

Wei Lingxiu praised him every day these days!

Now, these Wei Lingxiu are holding the endorsement papers and being held by Mr. Zhou like a treasure.

Yan Jing had to show Master Zhou his skills, because Master Zhou never left, he asked Master Zhou to stay for dinner, and had a meal of dried bamboo shoots and boiled pig's trotters.

The bed and table he bought were not yet finished by Old Liu, a carpenter in the village. The tables and chairs for Mr. Zhou's dinner were borrowed by Mr. Zhou's attendants from the farm next door.

Then, Yan Jing made another fortune from Mr. Zhou.

It is really too easy for a scholar to make money, of course it is so easy, mainly because he is too smart!

"When you pass the scholar exam, you can go to the old man's place and discuss knowledge with the old man." Master Zhou said to Yan Jing before leaving.

Li Xiucai was envious, but when he thought of Yan Jingze's talent, he took it for granted.

After earning a sum of money from Mr. Zhou, the bookstore was about to close, Yan Jing simply didn't copy books anymore, but lived a good year at home.

Of course, before that, he didn't forget to let the people in the casino publicize the fact that Mr. Zhou came to his house.

As a result, there were rumors again in Donggu County: "Have you heard about it? Mr. Zhou from the next county went to Yan's family."

"Why did he go to everyone's house?"

"Maybe it has something to do with Wei Lingxiu..."

"Didn't you say that Wei Lingxiu's mother's family is quite powerful?"

……

After finally convincing his clansmen to drive Wei Lingxiu out of the house, Wei Zhiyuan: "..."

Well, now he doesn't dare to do that anymore.

Wei Lingxiu's mother's surname is Zhou, and the surname of Mr. Zhou next door is also Zhou. Could they be related?

He has been oppressed by the Zhou family for so many years, and he will be oppressed again... The more Wei Zhiyuan thinks about it, the more aggrieved he becomes, but there is nothing he can do.

Years ago, the bed and table that Yan Jing bought were delivered, and they could finally sleep comfortably without having to eat on the desk.

In addition, Yan Jing asked people to make clothes for him, and they were all ready.

It's just that even if he puts on a long gown, he still doesn't look like a scholar...

Fortunately, he didn't bask in the sun very much recently, and he turned out to be a lot paler!

After the new year, the county examination is about to begin!

Yan Jing already had a guarantor for him, and then he and Wei Lingxiu needed to find three other children, and the five of them would be guarantors for each other.

Is this person chosen...

In the school opened by a scholar in the town, some students are taking classes.

Up and down, suddenly a big man in a long gown came in from outside.

"I heard that there are children here who can't find someone to protect each other? Why don't you come with me?" Yan Jing grinned at the scholar.

The scholar was dumbfounded: "Yan Da?"

"It's me." Yan Jing said.

"You are so brave, you actually come to my place to mess around... Hurry up and get out!" The scholar slapped the table and said.

Yan Jing directly turned cold, stared at him and said, "What did you say?"

The scholar trembled subconsciously: "No... didn't say anything."
