Jing Xingzhi's ancient daily life

Wang Xiang cried so hard that he almost pushed himself over from crying.

But the neighbors couldn't stand him crying like this.

The family next to me woke up, stuck out their heads impatiently, and shouted, "Why are you crying? It's in the middle of the night? If you die, I'll let you cry to your heart's content!"

Tan Xingwang thought about it, it's not good to be noisy in the middle of the night.He went forward and patted Wang Xiang on the shoulder: "Hey, don't cry, you are disturbing someone else's house."

Wang Xiang raised his head with tears in his eyes and saw that it was someone he knew. He grabbed Tan Xingwang's trousers distressedly and cried like a child.

"Whoa! My silver is gone..."

Tan Xingwang touched the only purse left in his arms, and said: "There is a tavern over there that is not closed. I will treat you to a drink. I know the shopkeeper of the tavern, and see if I can borrow some medicine or ointment to apply it on." paint."

"Hi——" Wang Xiang hiccupped and said, "You want to buy me a drink? I don't want to drink, I want to eat pig's head, the oily one!"

Wang Xiang felt that he was wronged a lot, so he became very obsessed with the big pig head in the dream.It never occurred to him that if Tan Xingwang disliked him for being troublesome, and he didn't even have a glass of beer, how could there be a pig's head that he was thinking of!

"Pig's head? Is half of it okay?" Tan Xingwang thought that he still had to coax others, and asked A Lin to forgive him. Money was very much needed, and it couldn't be spent on Wang Xiang.Inviting Wang Xiang to eat half a pig's head and have a drink, because Tan Xingwang felt that the two of them had suffered together, and Tan Xingwang was really not in a good mood, so he wanted to drink himself two glasses.

"Half is fine!" Wang Xiang heard that he could eat a pig's head, so he threw the jar of money on the ground, and climbed up while leaning against the wall.

When he got up, he finally remembered his blooming butt, and cried out "Ouch" in pain.

Tan Xingwang gave his hand, and the two went to the restaurant that Tan Xingwang was familiar with.

There was a drunk in the restaurant who was drinking, so the shopkeeper who was drinking was left to watch.Seeing people coming to drink again, one drunk was watching, two or three were watching, so the shopkeeper greeted them.In addition, Tan Xingwang was familiar with him, and the shopkeeper even bought a copy of his commonly used medicine for the two of them.

But the pig's head went too late and didn't buy it. Tan Xingwang asked for six taels of strong braised pork and a stack of peanuts, which fooled Wang Xiang.

Although picky is not about pork, Wang Xiang is used to being poor. He is satisfied with wine and meat, and forgets about the pig's head when he eats it.

The two ate and drank for a while, and seeing Wang Xiang getting drunk, Tan Xingwang went to pay the bill, and told the boss not to bring over the wine.

The drunk next to the two of them asked for wine pot after pot, and if he was advised not to drink, he would even say that he was rich, so give it to him.Things like Tan Xingwang made the shopkeeper feel strange.

"Why don't you drink anymore, I'll resist you and go back after getting drunk!" The tavern was well informed, and the shopkeeper knew what Tan Xingwang had gone through.From his point of view, there are some things in his mind that he can't figure out, and it's more normal to want to get drunk.

Tan Xingwang thought that Ah Lin didn't like drunks, so he shook his head and said, "It's not fun to be drunk, and it's not the same when you wake up later. Thank you for the medicine, I'll send him back first!"

"Okay, this is the money for change, you count it." The shopkeeper weighed the gold nails and took it away, weighed out nine taels of silver and gave Tan Xingwang a piece of copper money.

Tan Xingwang took the money and carried Wang Xiang back to Wang's house.

However, unlike what he had planned at the beginning, Tan Xingwang did not stay at Wang Xiang's house.He rubbed the medicine, wrapped himself in a broken quilt from Wang Xiang's house, and ran to Chen Fulang's door involuntarily.

Because of the pain in his butt, Tan Xingwang lay on his side and slept in front of the door.Fortunately, with the old quilt obtained from Wang Xiang's house, Tan Xingwang was not frozen and slept soundly.

****

Early the next morning.

Chen Fulang opened the door and screamed when he saw the person sleeping in front of the door.

Tan Xingwang opened his eyes sleepily, grabbed his hair with a smile, and smiled at Chen Fulang: "You are scared."

Chen Fulang glared at him: "It's early in the morning! Are you saying it's scary?"

Tan Xingwang was speechless, so he drooped his head, looking pitiful.

Chen Fulang was not soft-hearted. He almost lost his life back then, so he was so nervous.Now that someone has come out, Chen Fulang doesn't want to provoke the embarrassing Tan family.

"Go, don't block the way." Chen Fulang closed the door with a "slap".

Tan Xingwang was not willing to leave, but he was thinking about money, so he went to the pier for a walk first, then explained the matter clearly, and came back with a ten-year leave.

Just like that, Chen Fulang was stuck on by a brown candy.

***

In Huanshui Academy.

Jing Xingzhi put his bookbag on his back, stood in front of Liu Fang's door and said, "Xiao Fangfang, I'm going to school."

"Okay, remember to buy something for breakfast."

Last night, the two chatted about modern things and felt a lot of emotion.Sleeping late and not fully waking up yet, Liu Fang squinted his eyes, answered, and left in a hurry listening to Jing Xingzhi's footsteps.

After finishing his work, Jing Xingzhi had to go to class again.

As usual, I went to the back mountain, the east house of thatched cottage.

The sun shines through the opened windows, illuminating the east room full of books and ink.

Jing Xingzhi picked up the book he was reading last time, looked at it and felt that he had forgotten some parts, so he turned it over and read it again.

When it comes to the ancient imperial examinations, it really requires brains, not to mention that it makes people dizzy, and the meaning of a sentence has to be pondered over and over again.A change in the reading of a sentence can have many meanings.

Jing Xingzhi recited it while pondering over the items of the township examination.

Now Li Chao's rural examination consists of three examinations.A test of the Four Books, a second test of the Five Classics, and a third test of practical strategies.The gentlemen said before that the weakest place for young scholars is in practical policy theory.

According to Jing Xingzhi, at such a young age, he has a brain that can do questions in the Four Books and Five Classics, and he is already extremely smart.If you want to have your own feasible views on major events in the court or in a certain place, you must at least have a general understanding of the goals of the exam first.

However, important affairs in the court are often constructive issues for the country. It is not the level that many ordinary students sitting in the academy can reach. It is difficult to talk about one or two things. He Ti really gives constructive opinions.

So after memorizing the book, he used Liu Fang's many ideas to turn over the book in his hand three times, and Jing Xingzhi caught Fang Qichen who had just come over at that time.

Jing Xingzhi asked, "Teacher, when shall we learn theories?"

Fang Qichen looked at the books on his desk, flipped through a stack of books that Jing Xingzhi was familiar with, and said, "You read very quickly, don't be in a hurry to discuss ideas, and don't be in a hurry to go back in May."

The May that Fang Qichen said was five, six, seven or three months before the August exam.

However, Fang Qichen thought of the greatness of his little disciple. He looked at Jing Xingzhi and asked, "Study policy theory, you can learn it in the academy, and you can learn it deeper outside. Where do you want to go?"

"Outside, where?" Jing Xingzhi raised his eyebrows.

Fang Qichen stroked his beard and said, "Go to the state government office next door. It's not too far away, and I can talk to you. The prefect of Kong is not afraid of Governor Zhang. Shen Fang is the prefect of the local state capital. Before and after the exam, you Don't get too close to him."

Although the township examination is more than half a year later, Shen Fang is also a parent official. If they get too close, it will not be easy for people to talk behind their backs.It is a skill to have a relationship, but when everyone finds out, accidents are easy to happen, and when the time comes to report to the school, there will be many more troubles.

Jing Xingzhi thought of Shen Fang Fang Qichen's respect, and thought that an old fox is still an old fox.

Even if he doesn't play well with Shen Fang, Shen Fang will help him.Because Shenbang wanted Fang Qichen's help, he had to help him, Fang Qichen's little disciple.

Jing Xingzhi and Fang Qichen looked at each other, and they both laughed.

Jing Xingzhi nodded: "Well, this disciple will know how to avoid Lord Shen."

"Then you should think about the homework at hand first, and ask me if you don't understand, or the masters in the academy, you can ask them what they are good at." Fang Qichen admitted that he also has weaknesses, "I specialize in classics, The style of writing is simple and simple. There are quite a few inspectors nowadays who prefer to write with gorgeous rhetoric, so I can’t teach you this, it’s better to ask other masters.”

"Well, the disciple understands." Jing Xingzhi thought and rubbed his forehead.The young scholar also has a pragmatic and capable style, and his ability to solve problems and ideas is first-class, but the gorgeous style is really not good.

Jing Xingzhi studied until noon, Fang Qichen went home early for dinner, and Liu Fang also came to Jing Xingzhi to deliver the meal.

*****

Opening the food box, Jing Xingzhi brought out three dishes and one soup, and gulped down half a bowl of soup for himself.

After filling the soup, Jing Xingzhi said: "The bamboo water tube I brought with me is too small, and meddling is easy to dry my mouth. One tube is not enough for me to drink."

Seeing that he seemed extremely hungry, Liu Fang frowned and looked at the big desk behind the small dining table, and said distressedly: "I'll change the bamboo tube to a bigger one later. But should I also read these books, so you have another discussion?" people."

"No, it's enough for me to be dizzy alone. If you want to read these, you have to start from the simplest ones, which is harder than me. Then why should I learn this?" Jing Xingzhi quickly shook his head and refused.

Liu Fang pursed his lips, and said, "If you don't study, you can do it..."

"It's okay, I have the memory of the little scholar in my mind. He has been studying for more than ten years, and I just need to make up what he hasn't learned. Don't worry about the Four Books and Five Classics. I have almost mastered them, and I can talk to him endlessly. It’s a little difficult to discuss with people, but you can definitely write like a god if you think about it.”

Jing Xingzhi smiled and picked a piece of meat for Liu Fang, and concluded: "Don't worry about it, I'm the Minister of Logistics."

Liu Fang nodded in disappointment, remembering that he met Wang Zhuang on the way, and said to Jing Xingzhi, "By the way, I met Wang Zhuang when I came up, and he said that Wu Qing, the chief bookkeeper in the county, was also checked by Master Shen. Let me tell you first, I ask you if you want to protect him. Brother Zhuang should be at the teacher's house now, and tell the teacher about it."

Jing Xingzhi shook his head: "Wu Qing? No guarantee. He has five lives on his body, and he won't be able to pay back even if he dies."

"Five, five?!" Liu Timid Fang's eyes widened, and he repeated Jing Xingzhi's words in disbelief.

"At least this number, I can't see anything else."

After Jing Xingzhi replied this sentence, he suddenly reached out his hand under Liu Fang's hand, and grabbed the chopsticks that had slipped out of Liu Fang's hand.

Jing Xingzhi smiled, handed the chopsticks back to Liu Fang helplessly, and said softly, "Eat, there is no ghost. If there is a ghost, I am here."

Seeing Liu Fang's face of "I'm afraid only because of you", Jing Xingzhi remembered his dark history, cleared his throat and said seriously: "I, Jing Xingzhi, pretend to catch ghosts in my main job, and study hard in my side job. , one tael of silver a day. Brother Fang, consider hiring me?"
