Crossing the Extreme Rampage

Xujiacun.

The village chief was drying things in the yard, and was very surprised to see Xu Zhengfeng walking in.

Of course Xu Zhengfeng didn't come here to find fault, and his tone was more polite, "Village Chief, we've come to ask you about someone."

The village chief came over with a neutral attitude, "Who are you looking for?"

"Look for someone named Xu Qingmo."

The village chief lowered his head and thought for a while, then waved his hand, "I've never heard of this person, who did you ask for?"

Xu Zhengfeng told the truth, "A woman in the town told me that there is this person in our village."

"If this is the case, you can ask Xu Gaoshou, the oldest person in the village. He is over 90 years old this year, and there is nothing he doesn't know about Xujia Village."

Xu Zhengfeng's eyes lit up, it was a good idea, "Then I'll go ask him right away."

"it is good."

Xu Gaoshou's home is not very far away, just a few steps away.

He has many descendants, surrounded by houses of his descendants.

The old man is ninety years old, and his body is still strong, but his teeth have fallen out and his back is already bent.

Sitting in the yard at the moment, looking at the little grandson who doesn't know which generation is Zhizhi is very happy.

"Father."

Xu Gaoshou has lived to this age, and he sees everything openly. He has no prejudice against Xu Zhengfeng. He is quite happy to see him come to his house, "Is Zhengfeng here?"

Seeing Xu Gaoshou's smiling face, Xu Zhengfeng sat down on the stool next to him, "Come and see the old man."

Xu Zhengyu took the initiative to run to play with the little doll in the yard.

Xu Zhengyi was feeding the chickens at home and didn't come out.

Xu Gaoshou said cheerfully, "You have a heart."

Xu Zhengfeng nodded, "How is the old man?"

Xu Gaoshou's ears are quite easy to use, "Very good, very good, eat well and sleep well, very good."

After chatting for a while, Xu Zhengfeng asked, "Old man, I'm asking you for someone."

Xu Gaoshou paused, "Who are you asking? What do you think?"

Xu Zhengfeng leaned close to Xu Gaoshou's ear, afraid that he might not hear clearly, and said, "Xu Qingmo, he is from our Xujia Village, have you heard of it?"

Xu Gaoshou didn't move for a while, as if he was recalling something, "Xu Qingmo?"

"Yes, it's him." A gleam of hope rose in Xu Zhengfeng's eyes, did he remember it?

Xu Gaoshou scratched his all-white hair, Xu Qingmo sounded familiar, "Let me think about it."

Xu Zhengfeng comforted, "Old man, don't worry, think slowly."

Xu Gaoshou thought for a long time before he remembered, "Zhengfeng, the person you are talking about is from my grandfather's generation, almost 150 years have passed."

"Old man, are you sure?" Xu Zhengfeng shuddered from the soles of his feet. The woman seemed to be in her twenties. How could she ask him about someone from more than 100 years ago?

The smile on Xu Gaoshou's face disappeared, and he nodded seriously, "By the way, Xu Qingmo is from your ancestors, you can go home and look up the genealogy."

This surprised Xu Zhengfeng, "Master, do you still remember what happened to Xu Qingmo?"

Xu Gaoshou waved his hand, "I don't know about this. My only impression is that a big incident happened in the village at that time, which was related to Xu Qingmo. At that time, everyone kept secret about him, and no one was allowed to say anything. Naturally, I don’t even know.”

"Oh, by the way, I also remembered one more thing. Xu Qingmo was the only person in the village who passed the examination as a scholar at that time. The village was very lively. Your family held a big banquet for two days, and I went to eat too."

Xu Zhengfeng didn't have much doubt about this matter. His father told him that there were many scholars in his ancestors, and he still had a small fortune. Otherwise, his father would not have the money to study. "Old man, do you remember anything?"

Xu Gaoshou thought about it carefully, "It's gone, I guess I can't remember it, it's too long ago."

"It's okay, old man, you have already helped me a lot."

"It's ok."

……

On the No.20 page of the genealogy, the words "Xu Qingmo" were neatly written on the genealogy, "It seems that he is really a person from the ancestors." Xu Zhengfeng murmured to himself.

But why did that woman come to see her ancestors?

Forget it, don't think about it, when the woman comes to ask in two days, ask her.

Close the family tree and put it back where it belonged.

……

Under the grape trellis, the sun is dappled, and there is often a cool breeze blowing.

Sitting at the table was a young boy, wearing novel clothes, with a thin figure, fair skin, focused eyes, and holding a delicate brush in his hand, writing freely on the paper.

Sitting next to him was a handsome young man with clear and tough facial features, a thin and slender figure, and a stern demeanor. He was flipping through a book, and there seemed to be a faint doubt on his eyebrows.

Not long after, the young boy showed the young man a few pages of big characters that he had written, and his voice was full of vigor, "Brother, I have finished writing, please show me, is it correct?"

The young man closed the book in his hand, read it carefully, finally nodded with satisfaction, and smiled, "That's right."

"Brother, are you going to teach me something new today?"

"Yes, you have learned everything else."

Xu Zhengyi's eyebrows were filled with joy, "Brother, do you want me to take the imperial examination?"

Xu Zhengfeng frowned and thought about it, "Do you want to take the exam?"

"Huh...?" Xu Zhengyi tapped his head lightly with the tip of his pen, "I want to take the test, so that I can see if I have learned well."

Xu Zhengfeng said seriously, "You can go if you want. Brother Ming and Brother Ming will not stop you, nor will they force you, but if you want to take the imperial examination, you need to work harder."

Xu Zhengyi is a character who can bear hardships and endure hardships. "I'm not afraid of this, and Brother Ming said that I have a strong learning ability and a photographic memory. As long as I work hard, I will have no problem getting the number one exam."

Xu Zhengfeng smiled and encouraged him, "Then you go for the exam. Brother, I will find out the books and articles that Dad has read and teach you. There are two months before the exam for children. You can try it then."

Xu Zhengyi was eager to try, "Brother, I will not disappoint your expectations."

Xu Zhengfeng patted Xu Zhengyi on the shoulder, "Brother hopes that everything you do is for pleasure, not for compulsion, understand?"

"I understand. Don't worry, brother. I will always remember the kindness you and brother Ming have treated me."

Xu Zhengfeng was very moved, "Okay."

The Tongsheng examination is a pre-selection form, and it is a qualification test, which cannot be regarded as a real imperial examination, so it is relatively not difficult.

Father Xu has a lot of books, and he is also a book lover. All the books are neatly organized.

From the cabinet in the utility room, Xu Zhengfeng directly carried out the stack of books.

Suddenly, a piece of paper fell to the ground.

Xu Zhengfeng put the things in his hand aside, and picked up the piece of paper.

The paper has turned yellow and old, many words have been blurred, and it is impossible to see what is written.

However, the two characters at the top can still be recognized, which are the two characters "Liu Shu".

Xu Zhengfeng was full of doubts instantly, "Leaving a book? Whose book is it?"

I can't see what was written on the whole piece of paper, but I can guess that it should be a letter left by leaving home.

Continue to look down, there is a name on the lower left of the paper: Xu Qingmo.

Xu Qingmo's letter, where is he going?

Why don't you just say goodbye and have to leave a book?

The more I think about it, the more confused I become...

Putting the paper away carefully, Xu Zhengfeng went out with the book in his arms, and discussed it after Yuan Ming came back.

"These are the books that my father left behind when he was studying."

Xu Zhengyi looked at so many books, not only not afraid, but aroused the desire to conquer, "Brother, I will study hard."

"In a while, I will teach you the simplest ones first, and then I will teach you the complicated ones. Learn slowly, don't worry."

"Well, I listen to my brother."

……

"Zhengfeng, I'm back." Tang Yuanming's voice came from the gate of the courtyard.

Xu Zhengfeng turned his head, "We are under the grape trellis."

Tang Yuanming had already walked over, and asked in surprise, "What are you doing? Why are there so many books?"

Xu Zhengfeng removed the books from the stool and motioned Tang Yuanming to sit down, "Zhengyi wants to take the imperial examination, so I took out all the books my father used to write and prepared to teach him."

Tang Yuanming smiled and said, "Zhengyi, ambitious, not bad."

Xu Zhengyi spoke proudly, "Brother Ming, you are so powerful, I can't embarrass you."

Tang Yuanming encouraged, "Okay, then study hard and strive to succeed in your studies."

"Ah."

The surrounding area was too quiet, Tang Yuanming looked around, "Where is Zhengyu?"

Xu Zhengfeng pointed to the room, "He ran to sleep."

"How long have you slept?"

"I didn't pay attention to this, but I should wake up soon."

"Don't go see him."

Xu Zhengyu had already woken up, and woke up when he heard Tang Yuanming's voice, but his mind was still not clear enough to get up.

As soon as Tang Yuanming opened the door of the room, he saw a pair of big eyes smiling at him, "Are you awake?"

"Brother Ming." Xu Zhengyu quickly got up and sat down, his hair was messed up in sleep.

Tang Yuanming carried Xu Zhengyu to the yard, "Do you want some lemon tea?"

"Yes, thirsty."

Tang Yuanming was saying yes, but Xu Zhengfeng took a step ahead, "I'll make it for you."

Xu Zhengyi waved to Tang Yuanming, "Brother Ming, can you tell me what this means?"

Tang Yuanming sat on Xu Zhengfeng's seat, "Come, let me take a look."

"This is it."

Xu Zhengfeng made a cup of lemon tea for everyone, washed some green dates, and brought them out together.

"Zhengyi, you can take a break."

Xu Zhengyi waved his hand, "No big brother, I'll rest later."

Tang Yuanming said with a smile, "Zhengyi is the first good student I teach. I have to teach him to be famous. If I really pass the Jinshi exam, I will be famous in the ten miles and eight villages."

Xu Zhengfeng joked, "If you really pass the Jinshi exam, as his eldest brother, you will already be very famous."

Tang Yuanming grinned and gritted his teeth, "I like to hear what you say. It's not bad to have a little bit of light."

Xu Zhengyi clenched his fists, "Brother Ming, big brother, I will work hard and let everyone curry favor with you."

Xu Zhengyu looked at everyone, did he miss one?

"Second brother, what about me?"

Xu Zhengyi pinched the little guy's face, "You too, how can I miss you!"

"Hey hey, second brother is alright."

"mock up."
