I married my next cousin after being a scumbag

Tang Shi'an originally didn't plan to stay in He'an Mansion for a long time, he just wanted to book a room and walk around the examination room, he didn't want to be entangled by things the next day and had to stay for an extra day.

The past few months are during the scientific examination, and students can be called to hold a literary meeting anytime and anywhere, and this kind of literary meeting is mostly a cover for students to test their respective strengths.

Therefore, during the scientific examination, the number of literary meetings was held much more than usual, and there were many students in He'an Mansion itself, so it was very convenient to hold literary meetings.

When Tang Shi'an came, it happened that there was a literary conference about to be held, and he also heard the news in the inn.But he didn't plan to participate, but the plan couldn't keep up with the changes, so he met Wang Quan on the way to the examination room.

"Brother Tang, you also came early." Wang Quan was also pleasantly surprised to see Tang Shi'an, thinking that it would take some time before he could meet Tang Shi'an.

"Well, come to reserve a room in advance, I'm afraid there will be no place to live, why did Brother Wang come so early?" Tang Shi'an was a little puzzled. When discussing with Wang Quan Wenjuan before, Wang Quan said that he would only book a few days in advance house.

"It's not that I want to come, it's just to run errands for others, just to make some money." Wang Quan was a little embarrassed, as if he felt that it was a bit embarrassing for a scholar to do this.

"Heroes don't ask where they come from. Brother Wang, you don't have to worry. It's better to make money with your own ability than others." This matter may be somewhat prejudiced to ancient scholars, but to Tang Shi'an, he has no idea.He is also in business, even if the business is in Bai Ranxi's name, if people know about it, he will inevitably be scolded for it.

"Brother Tang just understands. By the way, when does Brother Tang plan to go back? There will be a literary conference in He'an Mansion tomorrow. If you have time, you can go to it with me, and it will be an eye-opener." For a son from a wealthy family, it is nothing, as long as there is a reason to do it.But for students from their poor families, this kind of opportunity is only a little bit.

Tang Shi'an thought for a while, and agreed. Wang Quan might not have any friends if he went alone, that is, if he was delayed for a day, he would naturally be able to take some time to go with him.

Speaking of which, Tang Shi'an also had the impression of participating in the literary fair in the original owner's memory, and according to the original owner's talents, he won the first place in every literary fair, but it was because of this limelight that he caused the disaster later.

This time the literary fair was held in Juxianju. The owner of Juxianju loves to accept this kind of literary fair. Although he is a businessman, he has always admired scholars.

Gradually, most literati also love to hold literary meetings here. Basically, there is one every half a month. The students who come and go are all students from He'an Mansion. The number of participations has increased. Many students know the boss.

When Tang Shi'an and Wang Quan entered the virtuous residence, there were already some people inside. Compared with Tang Shi'an and Wang Quan's plain clothes, the others looked much more glamorous.

"I heard that the county chief of our county examination has also come, just to see what it looks like?" Wang Quan is really good at inquiring about information, and Tang Shi'an can learn a lot just by standing quietly and listening. information.

As time approached, more and more people came, and people who knew each other in twos and threes gathered together.Tang Shi'an glanced at them, and indeed didn't recognize any of them.

The initiator of the Wenhui was already in place at this time. The Wenhui was nothing more than literati drinking and composing poems or discussing knowledge. Tang Shi'an stood in the corner when these people started drinking and having fun, and had no intention of participating in the slightest.

"Brother Tang, aren't you going to have a sparring session?" Wang Quan couldn't help asking, seeing Tang Shi'an dodging in this corner.He himself knows what is so important, he can only come to see this kind of literary meeting, and if he talks about discussing it, it will only be embarrassing.But Tang Shi'an was different, in terms of talent and learning, he would definitely be no worse than the people present.

Tang Shi'an shook his head, "Inscriptions and poems are not my forte, why bother to embarrass myself."

Other things are fine, but he has only been writing for more than half a year, and he must be incomparable to those who have picked up brushes since childhood. Even the most talented people need to accumulate experience.Not to mention his poems, anyway, he could write with a pen before, and poetry is really starting from scratch.

Seeing that Tang Shi'an didn't look like he was joking, Wang Quan didn't mention the matter anymore, and then looked for the dark horse who had taken the county's top case in the crowd.At this time, several literati were composing poems in the middle, and it was the time of the scientific examination, so the content of this poem was related to the examination.

"Brother Tang, that's the man." Wang Quan pointed to the luxuriously dressed one among the poets. Never heard of it."

From Beijing?Most of the children of officials and eunuchs will not come to take part in the scientific examination. If the father's official position in Beijing is somewhat thin, he can directly take the official position.Therefore, those who can come to participate in the imperial examination mostly want to prove themselves and show off their ambitions.

Tang Shi'an's eyes fell on this person for a moment, then he saw that the person in the middle seemed to be aware of it, and keenly looked in Tang Shi'an's direction.Tang Shi'an didn't feel guilty about being caught, but instead smiled at him.

"His name is Bai Junyuan, he's only eighteen this year, and he looks like he's heading for Liuyuan." Seeing that Tang Shi'an was interested in this life, Wang Quan gurgled out everything he had inquired about.

Surname Bai?It can't be such a coincidence.Tang Shi'an thought that in what Bai Ranxi said to him, he only mentioned that he had an older brother, but he didn't elaborate on whether he had a cousin or not.

There is a time limit for writing poems on the field. A cauldron is placed in front of it, and three sticks of incense are burned. Only the poems must be written before the incense burns out to be eligible to participate in the subsequent evaluations.Although this is a literary meeting organized by the students themselves, teachers are invited to participate in the evaluation.

Until the end of the essay meeting, besides drinking a few glasses of wine, Tang Shi'an only had a few words with Wang Quan.When it was time to leave, Wang Quan complained on the road that this article would be so boring.

"The literary fair is just like this, nothing new." No matter where the literary fair is held, it is the same. Maybe Tang Shi'an himself is a layman, and he can't appreciate the fun of these elegant activities.

"I just wanted to open my eyes and see how the literary fair held in He'an Mansion is different from the literary fair held in Qingshan Town. Now it seems that, apart from the fact that the participants are better at learning, the place where the venue is brighter, and There is no difference." Wang Quan had the same idea as Tang Shi'an, this kind of literary skills can only be truly liked by people like Wen Juan.

But for Tang Shi'an, it's not in vain. He met Bai Junyuan. There are many coincidences in the world, but Tang Shi'an always felt that such a coincidence would not happen.Bai Ranxi fled to Qingshan County, and Bai Junyuan's ancestral home was also in Qingshan County.There must be a connection, but you have to ask Bai Ranxi to find out what the specific connection is.

It was already very late when the essay meeting ended, Tang Shi'an went back to the inn and went to bed straight away. Early the next morning, after paying the deposit to Jiuxing Inn, he drove back in the carriage he had come here.

It took four days to come and go, and two days were delayed in the middle, so this trip took six days.I don't know if Bai Ranxi and Xiao Niqian are safe at home, but he is always a little worried when he is not at home.

Although Bai Ranxi lived alone with Xiao Niqian in the past, they didn't have much money at home, so those with dirty hands and feet would not come to the house.Although people outside the family don't know how much money they have now, anyone with eyes can tell that it must be a lot of money.

In case someone has evil intentions and steals things while he is not at home, it is not impossible. Now I can only hope that Axi Ale will be useful. After several months of careful breeding, Axi Ale will protect the family. The ability is still good.

It was already dark in the evening when Tang Shi'an arrived home, and the weather was also cold, so the nights were longer. If it was summer, the sky would still be brightly lit.When they got home, Bai Ranxi and Xiao Niqian were at home, and they were eating.

"Husband, you are back." Hearing the sound of pushing the door, Bai Ranxi put down his chopsticks and walked towards Tang Shi'an.

"Well, I'm back." Tang Shi'an returned home, his exhaustion gradually gone.Seeing them eating, she made fun of Bai Ranxi, "I'm not at home for a few days, I miss Ran Xi's cooking so much, I don't know if Ran Xi can cook as a husband."

Since getting married with Bai Ranxi, Bai Ranxi has spent a lot of energy on cooking, and his cooking skills have obviously improved. Although he is not as good as some master chefs, in Tang Shi'an's opinion, he is already very good.

"Yes, sir, sit and wait, and I'll serve it right away." Knowing that Tang Shi'an was tired, Bai Ranxi went to the kitchen without saying much thoughtful words.

"Father, I've made new friends." Little Loach also ran over, and when he saw Tang Shi'an, he told Tang Shi'an the biggest things that happened these days.

"Who is it? Father, do you know him?" Tang Shi'an knew it, and this new friend presumably was Wen Mu's son.

"I don't know him. He's from a big house that Uncle Lu sent me to. He's older than me, but not as strong as me. We had a fight at first, and he cried when he lost." Little Loach Tang Shi'an and Bai Ranxi raised his body, and his temperament is more lively on weekdays, and he took Axi and Ale to run all day, his small body has become stronger.

"Fighting? Why did you guys fight?" There are also children who fight, but Tang Shi'an doesn't think fighting is a good thing.Although boys say that it's okay to fight, it's easy to develop a violent temper.

"Ah, they, the father who was arguing about which one is more powerful, but in the end, no one agrees with the other, so they started fighting." Bai Ranxi brought Tang Shi'an's meal over, and when Tang Shi'an asked this question, he knew that it was Little Niqian who confessed to the fight. thing.

It was funny to say that the two children started fighting as soon as they met. After the fight with Little Loach, although they won, Wen Heng was made to cry, and had to sign a series of unequal treaties in a humiliating and humiliating way.

"Originally, Father is the most powerful." This was the first time for Little Loach to fight, and he was always the one who was bullied before. Later, Tang Shi'an taught that boys should not always be bullied, and that they should fight back when they should.

Although fighting is not good, it is not just giving in blindly. As long as you keep your own pace, other people will be fine if they don't commit the crime.
