The daily routine of the ancient imperial examination

Lu Shengcai was seriously injured and couldn't be moved, so he had to find a small medical clinic nearby and gave him some medicine first.

Before, they all thought that this drunk had returned home, but they didn't expect that he would kill himself and run to someone's house to burn paper money. If Lu Xiuwu hadn't insisted on coming over to take another look, someone would have been beaten to death.

Lu Xiuyuan didn't want to intervene at first, but his elder brother would never stand by and watch the guard go crazy. He was forced to come forward to solve the problem because he was afraid that Lu Xiuwu would be involved. Fortunately, there was no danger.

Looking outside, the sky is covered with a layer of black veil, Lu Shengcai will definitely not be able to go home tonight, and he will probably stay in the hospital.

The fellow workers in the same village paid the consultation fee in advance, and then discussed with his elder brother, whoever could ask for leave in the morning would go back to the village and notify the third aunt's house.

When Lu Xiuyuan saw the scene in front of him, he was very moved. The family with the surname in ancient times is still beneficial. For such a garbage man, just because his surname is Lu, people with the same surname in the same village will not give up, even if they may sometimes catch up with him. life.

After closing the door of the clinic, Lu Xiuyuan planned to walk back to the post station while it was still dark. He didn't want to stay there overnight.

The soft moonlight sprinkled on the earth, covering the town with a layer of tranquility.

He looked up at the bright moon in the sky, and a poem suddenly came to mind.

Today people do not see the ancient times and the moon, this month once looked like the ancients.

This poem full of artistic conception made him feel like he was back in the past. After the operation in the early morning, he stood downstairs in the empty hospital and looked at the moon in the sky. He also read this poem full of emotion.

At that time, he never thought that one day he would actually see Gu Shiyue.

Facing Mingyue, he couldn't help but read it again.

There was a suffocated laughter from the shadows on the side of the road.

"Who?" Lu Xiuyuan was startled, and looked over there vigilantly.

A figure slowly walked out of the shadows. Under the moonlight, his noble face became more immortal, "Lu Xiucai is so forgetful? Why didn't you say hello to me when you saw me just now?"

In a daze, he seemed to see a fairy descending from the moon.

At this moment, Yun Chen was a little too good-looking.

He tried his best to collect his mind, and replied lightly: "The situation was not very convenient at that time."

greet?How do you say hello?Didn't you see that the dangerous atmosphere was about to explode?He's just an ordinary person, it's good to be able to escape.

The other party was very dissatisfied with this answer.

"Why is it inconvenient? Is it embarrassing to know this young master? Could it be that this young master can't even cover a scholar?"

"Master Shi has waited here for so long just to say these things?" Lu Xiuyuan asked suspiciously.

Shi Yunchen was choked, it seemed really worthless to stand here with the cold wind blowing for so long just to say these two sentences in such a cold day, isn't his little warm pavilion fragrant?

"I just can't see you ignoring me, young master! Don't allow it next time!" After speaking, I don't know whether it's a guilty conscience or something, and I want to leave in a panic.

Did I say something wrong?He watched the other party's hasty pace and began to reflect.

Thinking of the astonishment that the other party gave him under the moonlight just now, he hurriedly chased after him.

"It's so late, it's not safe to walk at night, Lu Mou will send Master Shi off."

Shi Yunchen waved his fist unconvinced, "If you are not safe, the other party is not safe. If Lu Xiucai has time to worry about me, why not worry about yourself."

As if thinking of something, the other party stopped suddenly, "You little scholar is helpless, where are you going at this late?"

Lu Xiuyuan hesitated for a while, "Just find a random inn nearby."

Shi Yunchen thought for a while, then suddenly said: "My young master is also idle, so I will send you off with kindness."

Hearing these words, Lu Xiuyuan smiled helplessly, and the two walked side by side.

The moonlight shrouded the entire town, and the surroundings were quiet, which made Shi Yunchen somewhat uncomfortable, and he began to find topics.

"Why did you show up at Zhao's house this afternoon? I thought I was hallucinating." That's why he chased after him and waited.

Although he didn't know what to wait for, he probably felt relieved when he saw the other person?

Lu Xiuyuan recounted what Lu Shengcai did when he was drunk in the afternoon, and Shi Yunchen was amused.

"It turns out that he got the paper money. He is really a genius."

Reciprocating courtesy, Shi Yunchen also vividly described what happened after Lu Xiuyuan left, especially how ugly that Zhao Yu's face was.

"This time, Zhao Yu was so angry, that drunk also deserved credit. After he sobers up, this young master will reward him!" A certain young master happily made a decision.

Lu Xiuyuan shook his head and said, "That drunk is not a good person."

Then he told Shi Yunchen all the shit that Lu Shengcai did.

The other party frowned after hearing this, annoyed that he misjudged the person again, and seemed to be in a bad mood again.

Lu Xiuyuan saw that his expression was not good, so he quickly changed the subject and casually gossiped about Shi Yunchen's grievances and disputes with this Zhao Yu.

Hearing this question, a trace of displeasure flashed across the other party's face.

Shi Yunchen saw that there was no one around, leaned closer to Lu Xiuyuan, and said in a low voice, gnashing his teeth: "The Zhao family is just relying on the daughter of the son of my grandfather's sister to be the queen in the palace, doing all kinds of evil all day long, just like our family originally It's a blood feud."

It turned out that the Zhao family had some connections with the emperor, no wonder they were so arrogant.

He leaned over slightly, and whispered back in the ear of the other party: "The relatives are so arrogant, the emperor doesn't care?"

When the heat of speaking was blowing, Yun Chen's ears were hot. He held his breath, resisting the feeling of wanting to scream, and hurriedly distanced himself.

"Take care? How do you manage it? The old emperor is about to be emptied out, and now it's very chaotic above, and many people in the capital have gone out to find places to hide and hide from trouble."

Seeing that the other party started to keep a distance from him again, Lu Xiuyuan was a little confused. Wasn't he the one who approached him first?

But now they are outside, unless they are close together and whisper together, it is easy to have ears through the wall. When he saw the other party leave, he thought he didn't want to talk anymore, so he stopped asking.

At least he has a basic understanding of intelligence.

In a small remote town, there are actually two such powerful families entrenched. He is currently caught in the middle. If one can't handle it well, this little life will be gone. He asked himself that he couldn't do a perfect deal, and finally decided to implement a one-sided plan. policy.

The Zhao family will definitely not end well in the future, and it won't last long, and their actions are vicious and inconsistent with their own values.

Although Shi Yunchen is willful, but his heart seems to be quite simple?Although I don't know the background of the Shi family, there should be no worse situation than the Zhao family.

While thinking, he came to the door of an inn.

Shi Yunchen hesitated for a moment and then said: "If there is something that can't be solved, you can come to the bookstore to find Master Ben. With Governor Liu here, the Zhao family usually dare not mess around."

After the other party finished speaking awkwardly, he urged to update the storybook by the way, and then went back.

The governor, equivalent to the modern governor, also known as Futai, inspects the military and civil affairs ministers in various places, and belongs to the second-rank senior officials.

When I was studying, I heard that Governor Liu seemed to be demoted by the superiors, and I don't know the details, but as long as he can restrain the Zhao family, he is considered a good official.

He looked at someone's back, and if he licked his hair, this tsundere young master was quite cute.

After the figure of the other party disappeared into the night, he knocked on the door of the inn to spend the night.

“Seeded Cakes～Selling Sesame Cakes～Fragrant and Drossed Sesame Cakes～”

"Freshly baked big buns..."

Early in the morning, Lu Xiuyuan was woken up by the cries of the peddlers downstairs. The soundproofing of this room is not good. The person next door to him was grinding his teeth all night. He couldn't remember when he fell asleep last night.

Opening the window, it was only slightly bright outside, he rubbed his head, went downstairs to have breakfast, packed two servings by the way, and brought them back to the small clinic together.

His elder brother also got up early, Lu Xiuyuan put the steamed buns he bought on the table, his elder brother called the fellow villager to come over to eat together, and told him the result of their discussion last night.

Since the same village was still at the same venue as last time, and the supervisor was harsh, it was not easy to ask for leave, so he discussed to let his elder brother go back.

Lu Xiuyuan also agreed with this result.

Lu Dafu's medicine was about to run out, so he went to Ping'an Hall to grab some and asked his elder brother to take it back.

After dinner, the fellow villager was about to go back to work, and Lu Xiuyuan and his elder brother also started to go to the Ping'an Hall.

The streets are bustling with hawkers coming and going.

When Lu Xiuyuan saw a sugar seller, he hurriedly beckoned him to stop.

On the bundle of straw filled with sugar people, I picked a doll with the most sugar and bought it.

Seeing him buying these things again, his elder brother persuaded him earnestly from the side: "Erlang, she is a little girl, what kind of sugar do you eat, don't spoil her like this all the time."

Lu Xiuwu was very worried about this younger brother. Will he be able to marry a wife after spending so much money?Even if you marry a wife, can you support the family?

Thinking of this gave him a headache, and he was really worried about this younger brother.

Lu Xiuyuan understood his elder brother's psychology, but he didn't intend to follow suit. With this little money, if he couldn't spend it as he wanted, then his life would be too boring.

Money is earned, not saved.

However, these words did not apply to his elder brother, so he simply did not argue and continued to buy his own.

He turned his head and saw a small hairpin selling bows next to it, which was made as if it were real, and the two little wings were trembling. He could imagine how cute Xiaolian would look when she wore it.

Asked the price, one hundred cash, this level of sophistication, the price is about the same.

While his elder brother didn't notice this, he quickly asked the store to wrap up the hairpin.

Out of the corner of his eye, he caught a glimpse of the silver jewelry store by the roadside. He actually had the idea of ​​buying jewelry for Mrs. Zhang. He still remembered the bracelet before.

But the ones for adults are more expensive. The money he sells ginseng is in Mrs. Zhang’s hands, and he keeps it for daily expenses. Naturally, he will not get it back. Let’s wait until the end of this month and get the accountant’s wages, and then go to the jewelry store to have a look. .

Although valuable silver jewelry is temporarily unaffordable, you can buy a high-quality and cheap hairpin.

He stopped next to the small cart selling hairpins, looked at it for a while, and picked out an ebony hairpin with the words "Furu Donghai" engraved on it.

Seeing that he had chosen the hairpin, the vendor immediately praised him: "This little brother is really discerning. This is the most cost-effective ebony hairpin in our stall. It is polished and carved to imitate the calligraphy of famous families. It only costs [-] cents!"

He slapped Lu Xiuwu who was standing stupidly next to him, "Brother, don't you want to buy one for your sister-in-law?"

He thought that Mrs. Zhang and his sister-in-law used hairpins made of bamboo. The workmanship was rough and the color was not good-looking, so he reminded his elder brother.

Seeing this, the small vendor picked out a hairpin, handed it to his elder brother and began to introduce it warmly, "You might as well take a look at this? This is a peach hairpin specially made for women to seek benefits and ward off evil spirits!"

Lu Xiuwu took it, looking over and over again, a complete layman's performance, the hawker was delighted in his heart, and began to recommend it crazily.

"Women only need to wear this, which will prevent the six poisons from invading and eliminate the three poisons. The original price of such a powerful hairpin is [-] yuan! But today I saw that you are very fond of my brother, so I decided to sell it at a loss of [-] yuan. Here it is!" the peddler said heartbroken.

Seeing the sincerity of what the other party said, Lu Xiuwu felt a bit uncomfortable to refuse.

"Two are twenty coins together, if you can, help us wrap it up." Lu Xiuyuan said.

A hint of distress flashed across the peddler's face, "You two little brothers, this price is already a loss-making price. The young one has the old and the young. The whole family depends on this small stall for support. I'll sell you only because you two hit it off. Thirty Wen, in fact, I basically lost money in this business."

Seeing this, his elder brother's face flashed a bit of unbearable, thinking that he might as well forget about thirty pennies.

"If that's the case, then you'd better not sell it at a loss. We don't want the hairpin. Let's leave." After speaking, Lu Xiuyuan pulled his elder brother to leave.

Seeing that they didn't turn their heads back, the peddler seemed to want to leave, so he quickly stretched out his hand to stop them.

"Hey hey! Little brother, don't go, I'll sell you for twenty, come back quickly."

His elder brother just watched Lu Xiuyuan complete the deal in a daze.

After walking away, his eldest brother rubbed the hairpin in his hand and said with emotion, "Erlang, I really don't see that you can bargain."

Lu Xiuyuan murmured to himself, he is not good at bargaining. He buys things just to see if they are worth the money. If they exceed the standard in his heart, he will definitely not buy them. He is a man of principle.

After shopping for their family, the two brothers walked along the street to the end, and they happened to arrive at the gate of Ping'an Hall, just in time for them to stock up.
