The boss always wants to kill me

Several strips of bamboo weaving in this bookcase were blackened, and there was a hole in the bottom corner, which was really disrespectful, but the two people who came didn't care at all, watching the shaking of the bookcase, they laughed more and more blatantly.

Uncle Chen pulled the bamboo buttons and opened the bamboo cover, his smile froze, and he threw the book case on the ground in disgust. "Then what the hell is this!"

"This..." Cai Chun was so anxious that cold sweat dripped down his face, but he was dumbfounded when he saw the contents in the book case, and he froze for a long time before opening his mouth in front of several people who were also in a daze , "This is a mouse..."

In the book case, a huge fat mouse wobbled around in circles. Following its movements, the book case flattened and turned over, borrowing the "visited guest" who was only late for a cup of tea, and shook it. The slender tail swung away.

Mother Cai has been watching silently, and finally she opened her mouth, neither anxious nor angry: "You two have seen each other, our house is such a small place, there is no such thing as a white fox you are talking about, and besides, there is such a thing as a fox. We still eat meat, and we can’t afford it if it’s delivered to our door.”

Such a family who can hardly afford to eat can't really afford to raise a fox. Uncle Chen didn't reap any benefits, and he didn't vent his anger, so he could only ask Wang Laoliu, "Are you blind!"

"You're blind. You're kind enough to blame me for your sake."

The two of you talked to each other, but they almost didn't fight, and left aggressively.

"Mom, where's the little fox?" Cai Chun didn't relax at all, maybe he had a big dream, and the one he picked up a few days ago was actually a fat mouse.

"Go and close the door." Mother Cai pointed to the open door pretending to be mysterious. When Cai Chun closed the door and listened to the noise outside, she laughed, lifted the quilt, and put the little thing nestled inside. Hugged it out, "Snowball is here."

Cai Chun let out a long breath and went to pick up the little fox, but Cang Bi took a step back and leaned dying on Mother Cai's lap.

Cai's mother supported Ke Ren's white head, and began to criticize: "You really are, how could you put it under the bed, just now Xueqiu was almost bitten by a mouse."

Cangbi nodded her white head: "Just now the mouse bit through the bamboo box and came in, it was only a short bit away from biting my ass. Fortunately, your mother acted quickly and caught me on the bed. Otherwise, what would happen if you let me go back?" See Lian Yun."

Not to mention anything else, Cangbi is very satisfied with the original skin, and he doesn't know if the injury on the current body will stay on the original body. There is a mouse tooth mark, that is too shameful...

"What's going on?" Mother Cai asked.

Cai Chun gave a brief account of Cang Bi's scratching, and didn't mention the people in the field ridiculing him. Cang Bi grabbed Cai's mother's forearm in dissatisfaction: "Those people speak too badly, so I will teach the scholar a lesson." Come on, don't blame me!"

Cai's mother couldn't understand the little fox's cry, so she hugged the little thing in her arms: "If you want to scratch something, ask Ah Chun to get some soft sawdust another day, don't scratch people anymore, our family can't afford it, Also, don’t go in front of outsiders, our Xueqiu is so lovely, it’s okay if people see it.” White fox is a rare thing, a full-grown fur can be sold for hundreds of taels of silver, Although the one in my arms is still small, it is more than enough to replace it with dozens of taels of silver.

Cang Bi felt wronged, but after thinking about it, Cai's mother's words were not unreasonable. Although the family was poor, the one who gave him scallion tofu was definitely a good family.

"Mother, blame me for not taking good care of it." Cai Chun went to hug the little fox again, but was still dodged.

Cangbi nestled at the foot of the bed resentfully, held up the long tail with a piece of hair collapsed, and rubbed it distressedly: "I won't give you a hug, I was crushed just now..." And I had to hold back not to make a sound, it was torture... …

"I'm sorry." Cai Chun stretched out his hand to meet the sudden emerald eyes, and added embarrassingly, "Next time I will definitely lock the bookcase properly."

Cangbi: "..."

Cai Chun didn't go to the ground that day. He was worried about the injury on his foot. If he touched the water and aggravated the injury, not only would he not be able to hide it from his mother, but it might also affect his future work. He was the only laborer in the family. On this point, he Not reckless, after going out, I found some herbs and finished the medicine, so I simply picked up more, thinking about buying them in the pharmacy in the city, although it was so cheap that a small basket only had three copper coins, but it was better than nothing.

Cangbi was completely honest, nestled in the book box almost silently, Cai Chun couldn't hear the habitual voice behind him, so he started thinking wildly while picking up the medicine, how could he be inferior to others, if he didn't get into Jieyuan, he wouldn't How strange, after all, so many people participated in the test, he may not be the best, but the young master of the Jiang family, who can't even memorize the four books and five classics, won the prize, and he didn't even get the last place in the list, which made him unwilling and resentful. puzzled.

Something must have gone wrong!Cai Chun tightly held a small bundle of snake grass, and the small yellow flowers trembled and fell to the ground. He stuffed the grass into the bookcase, and he buckled the buckle and strode into the city.

When entering the city, it was already past lunch time, Cangbi was hungry, looked outside, the street restaurants were almost in the middle of the road, there were all kinds of delicacies, full of fragrance, but Cai Chun couldn’t afford everything, he He could only poke the motionless Xiao Hei with his grunting hairy belly, and his thoughts drifted to the oily tofu that Lian Yun once made at his home in Xiaoyaojie.

"Xiao Hei, is the scholar here to buy medicine again?" Cang Bi put her mouth next to the black bracelet and asked very softly, but Cai Chun obviously didn't bring any of them.

I don't know how long Cai Chun walked, and finally stopped. Cangbi picked up the box and looked out. There was far less excitement nearby than the avenue. Cai Chun stopped in front of a double-opening red gate. There was a big plaque on the gate, which read: Author of "Liuzhou Prefect".

"Who is here?" Cai Chun had just stepped up the steps when he was stopped by the gatekeeper, "What's the matter?"

"Xiaosheng Cai Chun, a native of Wuhua Village, is a candidate for this year's township examination. I have doubts about the results this time. Please be convenient and inform the prefect. Xiaosheng wants to check the paper." Cai Chun said respectfully. Bow down.

The imperial examination papers are collected at the top for review after the local examinations are completed, and finally, together with the Guibang, are redistributed to the prefects of the states. Each paper will have a comment written by the official. You can check it through the local area, but most of the candidates are not stupid. If you don't know how much you own, there are only a handful of people who really come to check it.

"Please wait for a moment." The yamen servant held the long sword at the waist, but it was easy to talk, and one of them went in immediately.

Cai Chun waited anxiously, constantly recalling the articles he wrote at the beginning, carefully considering the concept and the words used. It is indeed the highest level of his writing. Could it be that some of them touched the current law?

The more he thought about it, the more uneasy he felt. Fortunately, the yamen servant came out in a short while, and he didn't intend to lure him in, so he still said: "Wait a while."

It took a while, and it took half an hour before the door was reopened. The chief secretary stretched, and reluctantly moved out: "Which family wants to check the papers?"

Cai Chun hurriedly went up to meet him: "My lord, Xiaosheng Cai Chun, I want to..."

"Cai Chun?" Before Cai Chun could finish speaking, the chief bookkeeper let go, "All the papers of the provincial examination are kept with the prefect, if you want to check..." He spread his right hand and fished it a few times.

Cai Chun didn't understand what he meant, he was stunned for a while, the chief bookkeeper frowned, and said again unwillingly: "There is a regulation above, to check the paper, you need to pay a fee of ten taels of silver."

Cai Chun had been poor for many years. When he was in the school, his husband also clearly explained the rules of the imperial examination. He only knew that the rolls should not be taken away privately. He had never heard of checking the rolls and collecting money.

"No money?" The master took a look at Cai Chun, "If you don't have money, don't come here to mess around. If you have this spare time, why not go back and study for a few more years." After speaking, he flicked his sleeves, turned his head and left, leaving Cai Chun behind. Chun, who hasn't recovered yet, stays where she is.

Ten taels of silver... He saves for a year, without food or drink, and only two slings of money, so it will take five years to save, not to mention family expenses, and mother's medicine money. The wooden money box at home has always been bottomless.

"Scholar, there's nothing to look up in this paper. It's the article you wrote anyway." The yamen servant obviously didn't think too much about his own master's way of doing things, so he patted Cai Chun on the shoulder to comfort him, "It's not worth the money. For now, let’s save up, find a better private school, study hard for a few more years, maybe the next one will be there.”

Next?It's been three years, and seven years are like running water, sweeping away his father's life, sweeping away his mother's health, and smashing his once full of ambitions to pieces.

Cai Chun turned around with vain steps, and left like a ghost.

"Hey, scholar." Cang Bi saw that the more people he walked away, the less crowded he was, and he walked into an unknown alley. Seeing that there was no one around, he patted the bookcase, "Scholar, where are you going?"

Cai Chun seemed to have never heard of it, untied the bookcase, put it in front of him, and sat down in the corner.

Cangbi saw the scholar's face clearly at this moment, and the unwillingness in those black eyes seemed to be overflowing. He seemed to have seen this look before, but he couldn't remember it.

Cai Chun's eyes are exactly the same as Lian Yun's, but the Lian Yun in Cangbi's memory is never cold, or has a vicious look with his eyebrows drawn down, and there is never a sign of unwillingness to be inferior.

In those eyes, it was obvious that he was planning something inhumane.

"Scholar? What are you going to do?" Cangbi pushed the top of the box and amplified her voice.

"A gentleman is upright." Cai Chun said suddenly, with a trace of ruthlessness flashing in his eyes, "I uphold the upholding of uprightness, but people always tell me that money is the right way. Mr. said that there is a house of gold in the book. I have read it for more than a dozen years. In the book of the year, there is nothing to be seen except the broken hut, and the golden house has always been in the hands of the oppressors."

No matter how you hear this, it doesn't sound right, such an honest and stupid scholar, don't get your head in the wrong place, Cangbi bumped harder, and shouted: "Scholar, don't go astray, if you go the wrong way, your mother Can be sad to death."

Cai Chun didn't make another sound, the cruelty in his eyes disappeared, he threw it firmly, he opened the bookcase suddenly, hugged Cangbi into his arms, took out a book, held it in his hand, like reciting a mantra, Read it quickly.

"..." Cangbi obediently got back into the box, shook her head and listened for a few breaths, and within a few moments, countless swirling ink characters appeared in Fei Cui's eyes, which was simply torture.

Cai Chun read this thought until the dead of night.

The watchman knocked on his clapper and walked through the street outside the alley.

Cangbi was hungry and dizzy, Mao's head was still spinning, and Cai Chun suddenly put the book back to its original place and closed the bookcase.

In the city of Kui Ye, the silence of the day reveals the corruption of the day, and in the magistrate's yamen, the sound of drinking and playing music can be heard through the walls.

Cai Chun stopped at the edge of a wall that was one and a half tall, jumped up suddenly, and raised his hand to grab the eaves of the wall, but unfortunately he didn't touch anything.

"You don't want to climb over the wall, do you?" Cang Bi lowered her voice, what on earth is this silly scholar trying to do.

"Don't call." Cai Chundong looked around, gave a soft drink, and then said to himself, "I'm obviously not allowed to check the papers, so I can only check according to it. A gentleman has the way, but the master book is not moral. I... I don't steal or grab, I just look at the judgment."

Cai Chun searched for a long time, and finally moved a pair of unpacked tables and stools from a restaurant not far away. The stools were stacked on the table, and they scratched and crawled. Finally, they fell twice, shaking the blue to the ground. When I was eight, I climbed up the courtyard wall, grabbed a big tree, climbed twice, and fell into the thick grass with a bang.

"Who is there?"

Cang Bi heard that something was wrong, squinted her eyes and saw the patrolling guards coming with the light in their hands.
