A scholar becomes a landlord

"Tell me about your usual actions, how do you look like someone who is going to take the provincial examination?"

The other scholars were nervous and wished they could read more books 24 hours a day, but only Xiao Le taught the children how to tease the little wolf at home every day, and went to the mountains with Yi Feng to play. Will take his words to heart!

Wei Le lowered his head, his performance was not very similar, so he didn't dare to refute when Yi Feng trained him today, but sat in the carriage honestly and hugged the little wolf.

The worst thing was Wei Fan and Butler Jin, who were chatting outside on horseback, pretending not to see his eyes calling for help.

Hmph, I don't want to save this nasty young master, he accidentally forgot to make a big fuss at home, but he himself was comfortably waiting for them to pick him up.

Wei Le committed public outrage, no one sympathized with him, let alone pity him.All the way to the provincial capital, except for Yi Feng who couldn't hold back his pitiful eyes, no one else spoke to him.

But when he arrived in the provincial capital, he rented a quiet courtyard, and at this time he finally looked like someone who was about to take an exam.Fortunately, they had money, so they directly rented the yard. I heard that the guest rooms in the inn were already full. Only the more expensive yards were still vacant for the time being. Wei Le and the others rented a big yard. Even more important is quietness.

It was rare for Wei Le to read the book, and the others ran to the Gongyuan to check on the spot, so they couldn't find their way!

Butler Jin is a smart person, so he went to inquire about the township examination, while Yi Feng and Wei Fan arranged for Wei Le's basic necessities.Fortunately, the meals were booked directly with the inn, and other things were done by other people. Wei Le only read books, and occasionally teased the little wolf to relax.

On the eighth day of August, under the escort of his family members, Wei Le entered the examination room with ease, carrying the examination basket.He brought a small red stove, a small pottery pot, a large jar, a large basin, a bowl, and a pair of chopsticks and spoons more than others. The examination room is allowed to cook by himself.

So he brought rice, bacon and dried vegetables, etc. He will eat bacon rice these days!

Compared with others, Wei Le's exam was very easy, because he didn't have any pressure, this time it's the next time!He doesn't care, the husband said that as long as you don't cheat during the rural examination, they don't care what you do in the number room.

So in addition to doing the questions, he was thinking about how to cook the bacon rice to taste like snow.The bacon rice they cook is delicious, Wei Le likes it.

Of course, his cooking is not bad, but the craftsmanship is not as good as their professional ones, the fragrance is enough, and the taste is not so good.

But he didn't know that seeing him so relaxed, all the candidates around him laughed in their hearts.Which candidate would be like this person, did he think he came to the Gongyuan to play?They even brought the red clay stove.

Because of the rules of the examination room, and Wei Le didn't make any mistakes like this, he wasn't the only one who cooked.It's just that he is the only one who is as well prepared as Wei Le.

Everyone cooks directly on the charcoal basin, but he cooks on the small red stove, and he is still in the mood to cut the bacon into small pieces and cook it into bacon rice.

No wonder he took a big jar and a big basin to hold water, it turned out that he was really good at using water.The reason why Wei Le doesn't cook porridge is because it's too easy to urinate after eating porridge. In this number room where it's hard to turn around, he thinks it's better not to eat porridge, otherwise the smell inside will be too bad. Although it's not much better now.

However, Wei Le's ability is not bad. He wrote a draft on the first day and copied it on the test paper on the second day. After that, he left the examination room at noon.

I'll go, this efficiency is too high!

Originally, there were some examiners who were dissatisfied with this candidate. Everyone else was taking the exam, but he had a lot of rules and made a lot of things.

Fortunately, when the examiners saw Wei Le's name, they burst into laughter immediately, and after a rough look at the test paper, they were convinced of Master Liu's student in their hearts.

No wonder people are so relaxed, it turns out that they really have the ability!

The answer to this question is really perfect. Even after a rough scan, the examiner felt that if such a test paper could not pass, then no one in Qiuwei could pass this time.

As soon as Wei Le left the examination room, Yi Feng and the others picked him up. They had been guarding here in turn since Wei Le entered the examination room. It happened that Yi Feng and Wei Fan came today, and they picked up Wei Le.

"Go back and take a shower first, and then I want to eat."

Wei Le had breakfast, but he didn't eat it in the morning, because he was most energetic in the morning, so he copied the answers on the paper as quickly as possible, and then came out at lunch so that he didn't have to cook again in the examination room.

The place is too small to do anything conveniently.

"it is good."

Yi Feng sent him to the carriage, returned to the inn, Wei Le took a shower and shampoo, and then had dinner.After eating, I fell asleep on the bed regardless of whether my hair was still moist.

Yi Feng sighed, put his head on his lap resignedly, and wiped him with a cloth.

The second round of Wei Le took a little longer, but it also came out before closing in the afternoon of the second day.

For three consecutive games, he left early every game, making many candidates laugh at him in their hearts, saying that he must have given up if he left so early.

The examiners saw the expressions and reactions of these candidates, and they all shook their heads in their hearts.How can a frog at the bottom of a well be as bright as the sun and the moon? Eight or nine times out of ten these people won't get any good rankings.

The examinees didn't know that they, the examiners, had read each other's answer sheets in advance, and each of them was perfect. Although the writing was in Guange style, it could be seen that the other's writing was indeed as good as the legend said.Except that the poetry is slightly worse, there is almost no weakness to be found.

But imperial examination poetry is just a small way, and it is not valued very much.

Confucianism, argumentative essays, and policy discussions are what the examiners value. No matter how good the poems are, they will not be selected if they are too poor.Besides, Wei Zile's poems in the answer sheet are only slightly poor, which doesn't mean that those who are poor can't meet people.They can't say that the other party is not good at poetry when this kind of poem with limited subject matter is written like this, they can only say that he is better at other things.

And writing poetry also needs inspiration, and they can't say that they can't say that they can't write without inspiration.

After the three exams, Wei Le felt that he had lost weight, no matter what he ate, and he was better than other candidates.But sleeping is tortured to death. Every night, he squints his eyes, or just meditates directly. In short, no matter how he sleeps, it is impossible to sleep well.

No wonder many people go in vertically and come out horizontally.People can't sleep well, and they are still facing huge mental pressure. It's strange not to lie down!

Originally, the body of the scholar was not too strong, so Wei Le now understands why Mr. said that every time Qiu Wei and Chun Wei, many candidates were carried out of the examination room.

After Wei Le took the exam, they packed up their things and prepared to leave the provincial capital. They spent the Mid-Autumn Festival in the No. [-] room, and Wei Le was very upset.

He didn't wait for the list to be released, after all, he had to wait for another month, and he didn't have the patience to stay in the provincial capital for so long.Anyway, he has already finished the exam, so it is not up to him to decide whether to pass or not.

Wei Le and the others drove the little wolf back to Li Village for another two days. When they got home, Wei Le slept for a day and a night before getting up.Seeing that he had lost weight, Xiaoxue worked hard to make up for him, and even remade moon cakes for his young master to celebrate the belated Mid-Autumn Festival.

Although mooncakes were sent to various places this year, the host’s family was not at Wei’s house and there were no activities. Everyone just sat together and had a meal. After eating two mooncakes, they went back to rest. Compared with the bustle of previous years, This year is considered to be the most inexperienced Mid-Autumn Festival.

It's just that after Wei Le came back, he found that brother Xiang Tian sighed every day, and Cheng Yong's constant reassurance didn't work.

"what happened?"

With enough energy, Wei Le finally has the mood to care about his friends.

"Brother Tian's mother brought his second brother, second sister-in-law and several children to live in Brother Tian's house."

Cheng Yong looked at Wei Le helplessly, Brother Tian was terrified at that time, and none of the people who could help them were at home, so the old lady Xiang and the second master Xiang's family directly moved into Xiang's house.

"..."

Wei Le was stunned when he heard this, Yi Feng knew about it when he came back, and he calmly put another piece of pancake for Wei Xiaole and put it in the bowl.

"Have a meal."

Let's talk about something after dinner.

"Oh."

Sure enough, he obediently bowed his head to eat, and the little wolf was still squatting at his feet eating his own raw meat!

After Wei Le finished eating, rinsed his mouth and wiped his hands, he had the time to listen to Xiang Tian's complaints.

It turned out that his mother and his brother finally got rid of Xiang's house, sold the old house and divided it with other houses, and everyone went their separate ways.His mother brought his younger brother's family to join him. She only had a few hundred taels of silver in her hands, and the other houses took most of it.Because the elder son is reliable, so the old lady gave it to the old lady. Anyway, the elder son has money, and he will not have a son in the future, so his money should be used by himself and the second son's family.

Fifteen thousand a year, what can they do?It ran out in less than half a year.So the family began to get nervous. First, they sold people to reduce expenses, then they sold things, and finally they sold the old house they had bought with great difficulty.

Hearing this, brother Xiang Tian couldn't help feeling sad, the old house he bought back after so much hard work is gone, what is he working so hard all these years for!

Wei Le patted his shoulder and comforted him: "It's good for them to come, if you put them under your nose, you can avoid causing trouble. Look at Wei's family, they rely on me for food now, and they are all very honest. No matter how difficult it is to deal with Xiang's family, how difficult is it to surpass Wei's family? Anyway, you don't feel at ease if you let them stay in your hometown, can't you be at ease now?"

Food and clothing are all in your own hands, no matter how much you think about it, you can’t do it!The food is the best, the clothes are the best, and the clothes are better than others. Except for having no money in hand, everything is good.

What a fart, Xiang's family members want to curse.Since the kid from the Wei family came back, they found that it was useless to pay money to Xiang's tent, even if they used their status as Brother Xiang Tian's relatives, they couldn't pay money.He only said that in the future, they will only have a monthly allowance of 20 taels of silver, which is already a rule only for rich families. Brother Xiang Tian will support his mother and younger brother in accordance with the rules of rich families.

Then food, clothing, housing and transportation are all provided by the public. Throughout the year, there are four sets of gold and silver jewelry for each season. There are rules for the marriage of nephews and nieces.Anyway, the regulations are set like this, there are no more.If you want to spend money to buy something else, just take the money yourself, don't ask him.
