Seventy-second piece Chapter 1: (four)

When Linglong woke up early the next morning, Xie Ji had already dressed neatly. Rice porridge was being boiled on the stove in the main room for heating.

The two of their brothers and sisters don't look alike, but when a stranger sees them, they must think they are brothers and sisters rather than lovers, because the looks between their brows are exactly the same! In short, the shape is not similar but the spirit is similar.

Seeing my sister got up, she didn't wear much clothes, Xie Ji let go of her work and stood up, walked to her, and frowned slightly: "Why don't you wear so little again? It's so cold, it won't be good if you get sick." ."

Speaking of holding Linglong's hand and going to her room, then Linglong was dumbfounded as she watched her brother find several more clothes for her, and wrapped her layer after layer, abruptly wrapped in a fat body. ball.

She feels that she has difficulty walking and activities, having difficulty breathing, and she thinks she may know what "dead" is.

But Xie Ji was quite satisfied. Seeing that Linglong wanted to go out to play, she found a hat and gloves for her, so angry that Linglong lost her temper and threw her hat off, so she couldn't go out!

Xie Ji insisted: "I will go out to shovel snow after breakfast. If Long Er doesn't wear more clothes, I won't take you there."

Fengcheng is snowy and the roads are congested. Under the call of the government, the big guy voluntarily shovels snow to leave a way for walking. When the sun comes out, the snow will melt and flow into the river. Although Xie Ji is not very old, he is also a serious householder, and there is definitely no reason for him to sit and watch when someone shovels snow.

Linglong snorted: "If you don't go, you won't go."

Xie Ji had nothing to do with her. The brothers and sisters had breakfast. Xie Ji carried the shovel and the basket, Linglong stood at the door and watched him, and then went to pick up the eggs. It was too cold and their chickens didn't lay very much. Chengri Nestled in a ball, it looks very pitiful. Doubao is as energetic as ever. Because of the cold weather, Linglong hugged it into the house and made a simple kennel for it. Obviously, it was quite exciting for Doubao to live in the house. Now she also ran away. Come out, bounce around on the snow in the yard, leaving a footprint of plum blossoms.

The first thing to do in the morning was to cook the porridge. Then he shoveled the snow in the yard, revealing the bluestone brick road. Now, although his focus is on reading, the work at home has never stopped. Next, the neighbours who shoveled snow with him saw that although he was young, he had good strength, and he was never lazy, and they all praised him. This is a scholar! I heard that my husband praised him a lot, but he still shoveled snow with the neighbors in a down-to-earth manner!

Someone started to be a matchmaker and came to Fengcheng for a year. The fourteen-year-old Xie Ji is no longer as thin as before. He has drawn a lot and looks gentle, but he can see it vaguely when his sleeves are rolled up. With strong thin muscles, Mr. Ouyang has always felt that scholars should also have a good physique. Otherwise, I am afraid that even the imperial examination will not be able to survive. Mrs. Ouyang is even more careful to help him replenish his body.

Aunt Zhu spoke first, saying that her natal family had a niece of the same age, with good looks and temperament, and very diligent. At 13 this year, the family also showed her to her, and asked Xie Ji if she had any plans to start a family.

Xie Ji:...

Aunt Zhu looked at him expectantly, and said that her niece is the most kind-hearted, even if she has been raising a sister after marriage, she will not say anything. To these kind and enthusiastic neighborhoods, Xie Ji always has a cold face. I couldn’t help but bring a little smile. They first came to Fengcheng and they were not familiar with their lives. The neighbours headed by Aunt Zhu’s family gave them a lot of help, but in the life of loneliness, there are too many more important than marriage. Things.

I haven't found that person yet, and my mother doesn't even have a place to rest. Their brothers and sisters are like duckweeds wandering between the world and the earth. They are home from all over the world. He wants to get ahead and find the person behind the scenes to avenge him. Where can he give his mind to others?

Aunt Zhu was very sorry to be rejected by Xie Ji, but she can accept it. The people of Fengcheng are so good, big-hearted, and thinkable. Xie Ji, the child, was still weak and dark when he first arrived. Who knows this? Raised in the year, it really grew like a Zhilan Yushu. Aunt Zhu had never read a book and had no ink in her belly. She didn't know how to praise, so she could only repeat the two words "good-looking" over and over again.

When the snow was shoveled, Xie Ji went to the pastry shop to buy chestnut cakes for his younger sister. At the beginning of the new year, the private school had a holiday until the tenth day. He had a long time to play with his younger sister at home.

For Linglong, ancient life was quite boring, especially when the days were so poor. Therefore, her biggest hobby in her free time was sleeping. The dogs and chickens at home were afraid of her, and she never dared to pull around, and worked with herself every day. It’s clean, and I feel that my sister is aggrieved by raising chickens and dogs every day. How does he know that it is all automatic breeding, and his sister feeds them at best!

Time flickered, and Xie Ji ended in the beginning of the spring after the new year. He had Mr. Ouyang as a guarantee. He was even more talented. He succeeded in getting the top spot in the exam and became a talented scholar. Two years later, he also won the top spot in the township examination and was recorded as a scholar. Juren, now it's another cold winter, Xie Ji is ready to go to the capital with his family to meet the next spring test.

At that time, he was nineteen years old. He was born with a long body, handsome and tall, and full of books. Because of his outstanding achievements, Mr. Ouyang became famous in Fengcheng and sent his children to private schools in the city. I also successfully climbed to the top of Fengcheng Golden Bachelor No.1. My husband and his wife were sad because of his marriage, but they didn’t care at all. I went to the capital this time. Don't miss it.

Xie Ji listened with a gentle expression, and all agreed, but would he follow suit...That's another matter. In short, Mr. Xie told him a lot of things, and there are not a few who violated his pretensions.

Because he is already a Juren, Xie Ji has small assets, and he bought the house he rented earlier with money. When he went to Beijing, he took charge of transferring all the chickens and ducks in the house to neighbors in the neighborhood, thanking them for taking care of and helping them for many years. The brothers and sisters are very popular in the alley. Because they are both extremely smart people, they are also very fluent in the local dialect. Coupled with the fact that they have settled down, everyone has long regarded them as their own.

Sending away the most proud disciple, Mr. Ouyang burst into tears, and his wife was extremely reluctant to be exquisite. The old couple sat face to face and cried together. After a long while, they thought it was funny. What future could Fengcheng have? It's better to go to the capital, which has everything.

Xie Ji's personality has become more restrained, and in recent years, he has almost expressionless to outsiders. You say he is cold, he is very gentle and decent to people and things, but you want to say that he is approachable and easy to get along with, but he is not Being in the fog makes him feel inaccessible. Except for his sister, no one in the world seems to let him show a genuinely happy smile.

Before it was too cold to enter Beijing, Mr. Ouyang also participated in the test in Beijing that year. He had an old classmate who was an official in Beijing. This time his lover came to Beijing, he wrote a letter for Xie Ji to take it with him. , Told him that he must visit when he arrives in the capital, and that old friend will help him.

Xie Ji did not go. They have saved a lot of money over the years. Unlike other scholars who hate the smell of copper or even ashamed to interact with merchants, Xie Ji likes silver and also likes to save money. He secretly bought it in private. I have a shop for business. Fengcheng is located in the north. Although there were wars when I was close to neighboring countries, there were some specialties that other towns did not have. A smart person like Xie Ji can do everything with ease, so he has small assets. When he enters Beijing this time, he sold the shop in his hands. In addition, he is also a non-scalable iron rooster on weekdays, and he is admitted to the fame. The gifts given by the squires of Houfeng City...buying a small house in the capital is definitely more than enough.

He basically won't return to Fengcheng in the future. After his mother died, he and his sister wandered and wandered, and there is no place for him to love him in this world. The husband and wife are kind to him, and wait for him to succeed. Will repay the grace of reconstruction.

These are all good things with Linglong, and my sister has no objection.

After arriving in the capital, they spent a few days finally buying a relatively satisfactory house. Although the terrain is a little bit off, but fortunately the quality and low price, Xie Ji doesn't know how his luck is so good. The previous owner said that it was Chaozhong. An official, annoyed that the rich and powerful were demoted out of Beijing, he sold all the houses in his family. This small house, because it occupies a small area and the terrain, only needs two thousand taels of silver to win it.

In the next time, Xie Ji began to buy people, and found workers, and remodeled the house according to his sister's preferences. He did all these tedious things by himself, and never let Linglong worry about it. As the weather gradually turned cold, the water turned into ice. At that time, Xie Ji's thoughts were all devoted to reading. He immersed himself in studying, often reading until dawn.

When he was in the jury examination, there were also gentlemen who were more powerful than Mr. Ouyang who wanted to accept him as a disciple, but Xie Ji declined. He was a talented and intelligent person, and Mr. Ouyang was kind to him, so he didn’t want to worship him again. Others are teachers, and the most important thing is that he has a younger sister who is smarter than him.

No other gentlemen are needed.

When Xie Ji was in Fengcheng, he was famous for reading, a great talent, and almost a household name, but when he arrived in Beijing, he was not so conspicuous. Talents from all over the country came one after another, and there were many who had better family backgrounds than him. Especially after the new year, the weather gradually began to warm up, and scholars in long gowns could be seen everywhere in the capital. The poetry society was held one after another, but Xie Ji never participated.

He also rarely interacts with people. He seems to have a mild temper, but he is very cold. The people in the family are always trembling when they see him. Even the dog called Doubao raised by his younger sister has his tail clipped when he meets Xie Ji.

For so many years, he has never forgotten his previous sufferings one day. In that day-to-day wandering, in the tears of his mother, those despair, sadness, anger...In the end, they all turned into hatred. He restrained his hatred under the appearance of calmness and reason, and no one knew when it would suddenly erupt.

When the test began, Linglong personally sent him into the examination room. Speaking of the reason why their shop is so profitable, Linglong has a lot of credit. Xie Ji doesn't know where the little sister’s little head came from so many whimsical ideas. Although the weather is getting warmer, the spring is cold and the temperature difference between day and night is great. Some people don’t wear much clothes for the first time to try. Linglong takes care of the clothes and food for Xie Ji. She dictates that the next person makes the rice. The pie is still soft and will not go bad even if it is left for several days, not to mention the beef sauce with large chunks of meat, and the duck down jacket that looks thin but very warm on his body.

Maintaining physical strength and health is very important. How many students have studied hard for ten years, and they are finally destroyed on this body. The first test has not been completed, and only Xie Ji saw that three or four candidates were queued out of the same test room. .

And he was lucky. The exam number he was assigned was very clean, the quilt was free of mold and odor, and the deodorant number was thousands of miles away. A candidate from Fengcheng who was with him was unlucky enough to be assigned to the smelly number. Nearby, I vomited after the first exam.

Xie Ji said: "I told you earlier, don't drink too much water or eat too much before the exam."

The candidate from the same township, whose surname is Guan and Zhuo, is crying with a face at this time, "Brother Ji, you have to help me thank my sister. If I didn't have the clothes and food for my sister, I would have died a long time ago. NS!"

Xie Ji said coldly: "Who is your sister."

Guan Zhuoke knew too much about the **** of learning of this dead sister, and he quickly arched his hands to beg for mercy: "I was wrong, I was wrong, it's your sister, it's your sister, how can I have such a blessing to have such a good sister!" "

Xie Ji nodded slightly when he heard the words, and glanced at Guan Zhuo with the eyes of your kid who finally said something human.

Most of the classmates who used to study with him did not pass the exam. This time there was only one person from the same hometown except Guan Zhuo, but that person was not from Fengcheng, so he was not familiar with each other. Guan Zhuo is so good, he will also get him a copy of the clothes and food that his sister has made... In the final analysis, it is because of Guan Zhuo's shame.

His family is rich and rich. His father used to be a child, but he stopped at him. Therefore, he dreamed that his son could be admitted as a scholar. Guan Zhuo grew up in such a dire and hot days until he was in Mr. Ouyang. I met Xie Ji in his private school, and he just got entangled in wishful thinking. There is no reason for him, but he wants to breathe in the immortal spirit of Xueshen. You see, he got the guidance of Xueshen, not only was admitted to the scholar, but also admitted. Juren! Can all come to the test!

Maybe I can still take a tribute to go home!

Of course, he can't be compared with Brother Ji, who is the number one test, his goal is the tail of the crane.

Because this person is thick enough and stalking enough, he still lives in Xie Ji's house. Although Xie Ji dislikes him to death, Guan Zhuo just wants to hug this thick thigh!

Just after the first test, Guan Zhuo, who was sour and smelly all over, looked at his brother Ji with envy. He was all human. Why was Brother Ji refreshing after three days of the test? Ah, look at his unparalleled beauty of Brother Ji! It's like seeing a cute and sweet sister!

Guan Zhuo didn't dare to say such things, so he thought about it in his heart. He fantasized about the scene where he was praised and praised after he passed the exam. His saliva dripped from his beauty. Xie Ji quickly got on the family carriage and saw his sister. , His eyebrows suddenly softened: "Why did you come here in person? Just wait at home."

"It's too boring at home." Linglong pouted, poured a cup of hot tea to thank Ji, ignoring Guan Zhuo the whole time.

Guan Zhuo... Guan Zhuo has long been used to it. Anyway, as long as the siblings are together, there is only each other in each other's eyes. It's not a good idea to take another look at others. He poured a cup of tea on his own, and finally he was in the mood to ask: "Brother Ji, how did you do in the exam?"

"Rather than asking about this, it's better to warm the book and prepare for the next one." Xie Ji said calmly.

Guan Zhuo scratched his head: "I'm just curious."

Speaking of his knowledge, he is actually not top-notch. Although none of the disciples of Mr. Ouyang can be as amazing as Xie Ji, there are a lot of bright brains than Guan Zhuo, but he only took the exam twice. Guan Zhuo, who was in the exam, was more lucky than others. After all, a optimistic pie like him is too rare. Guan Zhuo is the kind of person who can overslept in the exam tomorrow morning, in short. , The heart is big.

And his luck in the exam is also very good. For example, he could not pass the exam, but luck is good because he happened to recite the exam questions the day before the exam... Although the ranking is touching and hanging at the end, Did you pass the exam?

This is also another important reason why Guan Zhuo always clings to Xie Ji. He thinks Xie Ji is his lucky star!

Anyway, this kind of superstitious thinking came from nowhere. The most absolute thing is that Guan Zhuo also made sense of his father. Otherwise, this year his father would not allow his half-bottled people to take part in the test. It all depends on Xie Ji and learn God's halo. Swagger, Father Guan thought that maybe it was really like that. Otherwise, why his son hadn’t passed the exam for several years, but Juren only took the exam twice?

However, Guan Zhuo is still a little compelling about his own strength. He came to Beijing with him purely for the sake of learning the gods. Otherwise, he just had a daughter, he would not bear to leave his daughter-in-law and child!

Yes, although Guan Zhuo has a mouthful of brother Ji, he is eight years older than Xie Ji. He is twenty-seven this year and has four sons. Because there have been no girls who are particularly greedy, his wife just gave birth to him last fall. Girl, but Guan Zhuo was too happy. Because of his admiration for the mystery of Xie Ji's brothers and sisters, he wanted to name his girl Linglong, but Xie Ji rejected it!

Xie Ji glanced at Guan Zhuo. He didn't want to take care of the nervous guy. He took a sip of tea and thought that the tea his sister poured by herself was delicious. As a result, Guan Zhuo started daydreaming again, and there was nothing to look for. In the words: "Hey, brother Ji, I heard that there is a custom of catching a son-in-law in Beijing! Are you afraid?"

Xie Ji put down the tea cup in his hand, wondering how this guy knew so much gossip even though he was staying at home every day.

Anyway, it’s not a day or two for not being Xie Ji. Guan Zhuo naturally continued to say: "Look at you, Brother Ji, you are so good-looking and talented. The most important thing is that you haven’t gotten a family yet. Tell me about you. ——What can I do if I get caught by someone then!"

Xie Ji didn't want to talk to him.

Guan Zhuo chuckled, in fact, he still has a little girl who is ten years younger than him. She is seventeen years old this year. He is the same age as a flower. However, he has self-knowledge, so he thought about the idea of ​​wanting Brother Ji to be a brother-in-law in private. Think, but dare not take it to the table to say.

How can I say that Brother Ji is not in the same world with them, including his younger sister. Guan Zhuo is actually very fortunate that he can meet them, and that their brothers and sisters are so temperamental that they have not driven them away. After all, sometimes Guan Zhuo himself Blushing for his cheeky.

"I heard that those who are catching son-in-law on the list are useless if you refuse, just tie you home and cook the rice to ripen-um!" Guan Zhuo's mouth was covered by Xie Ji, he used to Xie Ji, who wouldn't be angry at any nonsense, gave him a warning. Guan Zhuo turned his head and saw his sister's flashing big eyes. He immediately became guilty. When Xie Ji released his hand, he coughed awkwardly. Voice.

It just so happened that Linglong asked, "What happens after the raw rice is cooked?"

Guan Zhuo suddenly coughed louder, and he looked like he was about to cough up all his internal organs.

Xie Ji gave Guan Zhuo a warning once again and touched his sister's head: "It's okay, don't listen to Guan Zhuo's nonsense. He knows what, and speaks vividly, as if he had been caught before. Who has such a bad vision?"

Linglong laughed out loud, and Guan Zhuo lied and mocked.

Then Linglong said: "Then you should be careful when you put the list. Let Changsheng go and watch, and then don't go down."

Changsheng is a book boy who is dead, especially clever.

Xie Ji nodded: "Okay."

Guan Zhuo secretly hates the injustice of life, look at this brother Ji, he has two different attitudes towards his classmate and his sister! For so many years, Guan Zhuo has never seen Xie Ji whisper so softly to others!

But... if he also had such a beautiful and well-behaved sister, he would definitely spoil her too.

After returning home, the two of them took a shower and changed clean clothes. They ate a full meal and slept with their heads covered. When they got up the next day, Guan Zhuo felt that he was alive. As a result, he saw that he was still alive. The unchanging appearance before, it seems that such a rigorous examination is not torture at all for him, and Guan Zhuo said that Brother Ji is very good, and he has to learn from Brother Ji.

There were obviously fewer people in the second test, and in the third test, there were not many people left. About 900 people participated in the Chunwei this year. The competition was fierce. Everyone wanted the title Guangzong Yaozu, Rao. It was Guan Zhuo who had a big heart and started to work hard, holding the Buddha's feet temporarily.

After the test, Xie Ji slept at home for a full day and night. The next day he was full of energy again. He couldn't see his nervousness or anxiety at all. At the same time, Linglong was calm. Only Guan Zhuo, who felt that his writing was broken, was not calm. , But he was resurrected by Linglong "Anyway, he had the idea of ​​earning blood and not losing the rankings anyway, so what can I do?" After comforting him, he was resurrected with blood and went out to participate in the poetry meeting!

Xie Ji was at home with her sister to rub gluten together, because his sister wanted to eat.

Those slender and beautiful hands used to hold the pen were rubbing a ball of dough in the basin at this time. ,, everyone remember to bookmark the URL or remember the URL, the URL is m..
