After the big fool gets married

The day after the results were released, Master Zhang Jingcheng, the chief examiner of the Shuntian Township Examination, held a feast of deer crowing in the western suburbs garden.

Du Chuanchi, No. 2 in the provincial examination, was absent due to illness, and several other officials' children with high rankings were also absent, including Feng Ge's old school and Du Ge's old school.

Mr. Zhang didn't care at all, and the banquet was still very lively.

While encouraging all the new recruits, he invited everyone to come forward to show their talents.The one who received the most attention from him was of course Xie Yuan and Gu Jin, "Huaiyu has excelled both in painting and calligraphy since childhood, and has a remarkable literary talent, and now he has won the title of Xie Yuan, which is well deserved."

Master Zhang made no secret of his love for Gu Jin, and frequently asked him to come forward to recite poems, paint paintings and criticize articles. Almost half of a Luming Banquet was devoted to Gu Jin's personal talent show.

As Gu Jin's "citizens" and "friends", Wu Xuan and Liu Siyuan were inevitably dragged out several times.

Wu Xuan swiped his pen, "Yo Yo Luming, the apple of the wild food. I have guests, playing the harp and sheng." A line of "Luming" was written in one stroke, and he left the stage after writing it.

"Good word!"

"The more famous the sentence is, the more you can see the skill of the person who wrote it."

Everyone expressed their appreciation.

Wu Xuan returned to his seat, and whispered to Liu Siyuan: "He, Gu Jinsheng, grew up in the capital, so he is from the same hometown as us."

Liu Siyuan said: "After all, Gu Shangshu's ancestral home is Dingshan County." As soon as he finished speaking, Master Zhang called his name, "Liu Siyuan, Huaiyu said that your poems are good."

Liu Siyuan got up quickly and went to the stage to compose a poem.

Wu Xuan let out a muffled laugh.

When Liu Siyuan came back, he breathed a long sigh of relief, and his voice was still trembling, "Brother Wenxuan, how did you manage to be so calm? As soon as I passed by, so many people stared at me, I didn't even say a word." Will talk."

Especially Zhai Le, Shao Zhipeng and several other members of the Zhenxing Mansion happened to be in the front row, staring straight at him.

Wu Xuan patted him on the shoulder, "Get used to it a few times, and you'll get used to it."

Liu Siyuan wiped the cold sweat from his forehead, "I shouldn't have refuted you just now. Gu Jin is not from our hometown, he is from the capital." So please ask his fellow from the capital to take the stage.

On the second day after the Luming Banquet, Wu Xuan sent Wu Wentao, Liu Siyuan and Yang Xiuzhu to the carriage home.

He and Doudou went to the dental shop in the south of the city.

"Doudou, let's go see the house!" Wu Xuan said enthusiastically.

The Gongyuan is in the southeast of the capital, and Wu Xuan wanted to find a house that was closer.The people living in the east of the city are all honorable and high-ranking officials, and Wu Xuan, who is only a Juren, is not even qualified to buy a house there.Therefore, I can only choose the south of the city.

The staff of the tooth shop drove them through the small alleys of the capital in a donkey cart, and Doudou whispered, "Brother Xuan, why did you choose such a big house? It's too spacious for two people to live in."

What they are going to see is a five-entry mansion, which is much larger than the one in Dingshan County.

Wu Xuan said: "In the future, when there are more people in the family, the living space will not be empty."

"Brother Xuan, you say that again!" Doudou punched him in dissatisfaction. If he didn't understand Wu Xuan's character, these words really sounded like taking a concubine.

This five-advance mansion is located in Wanbao Hutong in the south of the city. The original owner was an old Beijing official. The family had already returned home with large pieces of furniture, leaving only an old housekeeper to deal with follow-up matters.

The clerk of the tooth shop said: "Many houses in the east of the city are bestowed by the emperor. Even if they are not gifted by the emperor, ordinary officials cannot buy them. Therefore, most of the Beijing officials come to the south of the city to buy houses."

He knocked on the side door on the east side, "Uncle Li, I brought someone to look at the house!"

"Squeak—" The side door opened a crack, and an old man with gray hair looked them up and down, and said, "Please come in!"

The shop assistant led them in, "This is the east door, and the main entrance is over there. The houses in our capital are all the same size, and even the backyard gardens are almost the same size, so we only need to compare the maintenance of the houses. "

Wu Xuan looked at the whole house and was quite satisfied.

Then I went to see two sets, and it was indeed like what the dentist said, all the houses had a similar layout.It may be due to preconceptions, but Wu Xuan still felt that the first set was more pleasing to the eye, so he made a decision directly.

Doudou reluctantly took out her purse, five thousand eight hundred taels of silver, brother Xuan is really good at spending money.

The dental staff quickly signed the transaction documents, and took Li Bo and Wu Xuan to the yamen to change the house deed.

Li Bole said happily: "I never thought that the house would be sold so soon. I will set off early tomorrow morning, and within half a month I will be able to catch up with the master's family."

-

After returning to Zhuangyuan Building, they simply packed their luggage, and the two moved into the new house that day.

Although the house was empty, for Wu Xuan, he could fill it with a wave of his hand, "Doudou, the furniture in the study is with you!"

"Yes." Doudou handed Wu Xuan a ring.

Wu Xuan said: "Doudou, stay away, so as not to be accidentally injured." Taking items from the ring needs to find the right angle, if you don't pay attention to the direction, you will miss it.

Doudou hid behind the door, only showing a curious little head.

"Boom!" The bookshelf hit the front.Wu Xuan manually pushed it to the wall.

"Boom! Boom!" Two boxes fell to the ground one after another. The boxes were full of books, so they were not afraid of falling.

Fortunately, the house is big enough that the neighbors can't hear the sound, otherwise they must suspect that they are fighting.

Doudou entered the study only after the large pieces of furniture were put away, and took out fragile items such as vases and tea sets from the storage jade pendant.The jade pendant is controlled by consciousness, and the contents inside can be placed firmly on the table directly.

The two cooperated tacitly, and in a short while they cleaned up the study, bedroom, bathroom and kitchen.

After washing up, Wu Xuan, who was only wearing an underwear, lay down on the soft big bed, "Well, it still feels familiar."

"Brother Xuan?" Doudou's voice came from the door.

Wu Xuan stretched out his arms, "Doudou, come and give me a hug!"

Doudou threw the cloth towel for wiping her hair on the shelf, dragged her shoes and moved to the bedside, "Boom—" the whole body fell on Wu Xuan.

"Hahaha, Brother Xuan, am I serious?"

"It's not heavy." Wu Xuan wrapped his arms around Doudou's back, felt that his hair was still wet, Wu Xuan casually pulled a piece of cloth and wiped his hair.

"Brother Xuan, this is for pillows, not for wiping hair." Doudou buried her head in his chest and said in a muffled voice.

"Then what should I do? I don't want to get up and get it from the shelf." Wu Xuan stroked Doudou's hair.

"I don't want to get up either." When Doudou spoke, there was a warm breath on Wu Xuan's chest.

"Then use this!" Wu Xuan slowly dried Doudou's hair in this posture.

Doudou was made drowsy by the massage-style wiping technique, Wu Xuan didn't get up, and directly used the jade pendant on the bedside to put the night light in, and the room fell into darkness.

Wu Xuan moved Doudou in his arms, lifted the quilt and covered it.

The first day of October is Wu Xuan's 20th birthday.

Doudou originally thought that Wu Xuan would go back to Wujia Village to hold a coming-of-age ceremony, and by the way celebrate the success of the exam.

But Wu Xuan has no intention of going back to his hometown at all, he takes Doudou out every day to go shopping and buy things for the family.

"Brother Xuan, for a man who is twenty years old, the elders should perform the crown ceremony." Doudou said.

"Doudou help me with the coronation ceremony!" Wu Xuan handed him a copper hand stove. Although the weather is not cold yet, things for winter should be prepared in advance.The capital is worthy of being the capital, these small objects are much more exquisite than those in Dingshan County.

"Brother Xuan, there are already many hand stoves at home." Doudou put it back.

Wu Xuan picked up another wool blanket, "What do you think of this one? Will it be a little sticky?"

Just as Doudou was about to say that it was not difficult, he suddenly realized that Wu Xuan led him away from the topic, "Brother Xuan, the elders will preside over the coming-of-age ceremony, and the elders will personally crown you."

Wu Xuan said: "Uncle has already picked up the characters for me, so Doudou can crown me for me."

In Wu Xuan's concept, he has already become a year, and there is no need to become a 20-year-old again.Moreover, he passed the Juren examination, but Wu Wentao failed the examination. He went to the village to hold a big banquet, and other people would definitely discuss Wu Wentao and then Uncle.

He didn't want to be in the limelight, and he didn't want to make the uncle's family feel uncomfortable.

"I'm not your elder, how can I crown you?" Doudou retorted. 0.2.2.3.

"But you are my relative!" Wu Xuan put Doudou's hand in his own, "Doudo is my dearest person."

"Brother Xuan is also my dearest person." Brother Xuan's palms are always dry and warm, which makes him feel very secure, and makes him involuntarily willing to listen to whatever Brother Xuan says.

Even sometimes, Brother Xuan's fallacies sounded a bit deviant.
