The young man walked into the bathtub, his long hair untied and hanging behind his shoulder blades, his complexion was fair, with a slight luster, his eyes were as deep as night, and his pale lips were slightly blood-colored under the permeation of the water vapor... so thin Holding a handful of books in his hand.

Xiao Heng avoided it politely.

He didn't come back in until half an hour after Yun Sang came out of the bath and the bathtub was carried out.

Because she just took a bath, Yun Sang's hair was still hanging down, and she put on the white obscene clothes and outer robe again, exuding a scent of herbs and herbs that seemed to be natural.

Lying on the couch, the two of them had nothing to say all night, but Xiao Heng noticed that the young man had been reading a book until the other brother yelled outside, poking his head and asking, "Brother Sang, are you asleep? Are you secretly reading?"

The boy responded coldly, closed the book, closed his eyes at the same time, and fell asleep after a while.The other party was breathing very lightly. Xiao Heng had just arrived and shared the bed with someone. He should have stayed up all night, so he gradually closed his eyes.

Yun Sang said to keep him for a few days, but within two days, the old lady of the Yun family couldn't take it anymore. No other reason, Yun Jiaojiao picked up this man who was tall and burly, but he was also very good at eating.

An Eight Immortals table was placed in the main room, with a large bowl of rice, sweet potatoes and several bowls of porridge on it, and pickles on the side to accompany the rice.The only dish of non-vegetarian food was stir-fried pork, which the old lady put in front of Yun Sang specially, so that her good grandson, who had worked hard in studying and got sick recently, could supplement his nutrition.

Others can also pinch, but the big head is the eldest grandson, and the whole family agrees.

As a result, the granddaughter seemed to have forgotten about it, and desperately picked up the chopsticks to pick up the meat, kept picking up the man's bowl, and said softly, "Eat more."

After a little pinching, half the plate of small meat was gone, and every time the grandson's chopsticks were about to touch it, the granddaughter immediately gave the man the piece of meat as if she had eyes on her forehead.

The whole family looked at each other in blank dismay because of this, a daughter's family had her arms abducted before she got married, if it was for the little grandson Yun Qing, it would be fine, but she was caught by an outsider.That outsider was still able to eat. After Hulu finished a bowl of rice, he also emptied a bowl of porridge.

The old lady was so angry that she wanted to knock off her chopsticks, but she could bear it after thinking about it. She was afraid that her grandson would not be full, so she went to boil a few boiled eggs in private, and planned to save two for the eldest grandson and one for the younger grandson. It's covered.

In the blink of an eye, the bowl was lifted and the eggs were gone.

In the farmyard, granddaughter Yun Jiaojiao was peeling eggs for someone, and asked if they were good.The man nodded, taking one bite at a time.

The old lady almost died of heartache. She was reluctant to eat, so she wanted to leave some for her grandchildren to replenish their bodies, but they were all lost by outsiders.She wanted to get some money back, so she called the man to do some work, whether it was feeding pigs and chickens or sweeping the floor, but Yun Jiaojiao rushed to do it, snatched the broom in the man's hand, and said with a frown, "Grandma, how can you?" In this way, people have amnesia, and they are not in good health, so you let them work! If the news spreads, what do you make others think of our Yun family?"

This man is so edible, and looks so strong, why can't she ask someone to work? Could it be that they took him in for a living?

So the old lady was very dissatisfied with Yun Jiaojiao. A daughter's family is so unrestrained, subsidizing outsiders with her brother's things, even rushing to help men with work.

She just hoped that her grandson would send this man away as soon as possible, because our family can't afford to support an idler.

Xiao Heng is not slow either, he can tell that Yun Jiaojiao is very kind to him, thinks of him in everything, leaves him delicious food such as meat and eggs, doesn't even let him touch the work, is very courteous to him, It was as if their identities were reversed, and he was Yun Jiaojiao's savior.

But this food was withheld from her brother. What Yun Jiaojiao did was too kind to him, but it undoubtedly also roasted him on the fire, which intensified the conflict between him and the Yun family.

Xiao Heng had just finished wandering and hadn't eaten two full meals. The Yun family couldn't wait to send him away now.

Xiao Heng also saw the old lady of the Yun family open the lid of the rice jar more than once, complaining that he could eat it, and complaining that his granddaughter made him stupid when he fell last time.

The aunt of the second room couldn't understand what her daughter was thinking, so she talked to her daughter after farm work, and in exchange for her daughter said: "I don't know his identity, and I have nothing to do with him. He is so pitiful, why should I treat him better?" " Then he sneered and said, "Brother can often eat eggs, but if he eats less meals, he must be complaining and let you stand out? Mother, you have to think about it, Qing'er is your own flesh and blood, and Yun Sang is the eldest son Son, the relationship between us seems to be close, but in fact we are separated by a layer, you should think more about Qing'er's future."

"What nonsense are you talking about, kid! Sonny is your cousin, why is there a floor and two floors apart?" The aunt of the second room felt that her daughter had really changed, and she had become self-willed and would provoke family relations, even if her daughter said so. Yes, she should think about Qing'er.

But daughter Jiaojiao is not the only one who withheld eggs from Yun Sang, she even withheld eggs from her own younger brother Yunqing, it’s fine for them adults, these two children are growing up, daughter borrowed eggs to give to others, There is no need to make up for such a strong body of a five-year-old mountain villager, why bother to treat him so well, but his daughter said that he has no plans.

If you break it down carefully, you will find that the daughter is just making an excuse for herself to subsidize outsiders, and she is probably greedy for this man.The aunt of the second room complained again and again, but Yun Sang on the other side was in good health. When she walked out the door and saw Yun Qing lying on the ground and groping for the chicken coop, she couldn't help but ask, "What are you doing?"

"Brother Sang, I'm digging eggs for A'hua." Yun Qing got up with a head full of straw crumbs, and his little hand was pecked several times. A'hua is a reed chicken raised by Yun's family, which often lays eggs in spring, summer and autumn , Generally, he is the one who does all the digging.

Yun Qing pursed her lips and complained unhappily: "But I haven't touched a single egg these days, and my elder sister has touched all of them. I haven't eaten eggs for several days."

Yun Sang touched his forehead, he just recovered these days, he can go to town, and he brought the man with him.

He paid ten Wen to the coachman and asked him to help drive the two of them to the town.The journey would take more than half an hour. Yun Sang was weak and tired after sitting for a long time, and coughed a little.

Xiao Heng said: "Your body is too weak, you should exercise more frequently." He subconsciously felt that if he had a weak soldier like a young man at hand, he could fight ten of them by himself.

The young man may be talented and hard-working, but unfortunately, his body is like a broken gong and drum, and his wrist is so thin that it seems to break if he bends it slightly. If he goes to the examination room like this, he will be carried out to his death.After getting along with each other these days, he had a preliminary understanding of the Yun family. Yun Sang carried too many family expectations on him.

Yun Sang didn't refute, he also had the idea of ​​starting to exercise in private.He always felt that he should be strong, he should not be holding a pen in his hand, but should be holding a sword, but unfortunately his soul seems to be bound by a sick and weak body, unable to realize his potential.

He went to the government office in the town, stopped in front of the bulletin board, and noticed that he was looking at the arrest warrants of Jiang Yang and the bandit leader. Xiao Heng frowned: "I won't be on top!" What did the young man think of him? people.

"I know." Yun Sang said lightly, and walked away.He just glanced at those bounties, and his heart moved slightly.

He has always had a photographic memory, and he has already engraved the portraits on these arrest warrants in his mind.

Yun Sang went to the yamen to report the case, and asked if there was any family who reported missing persons recently. He mentioned Xiao Heng's appearance, physique and height, and as expected, he got a negative answer.

Missing cases in the town are rare, and most of the lost are children, women and the elderly.After all, Qingyuan County is too small, it is just a small county below Chuzhou County, no one can guarantee whether Xiao Heng is a wanderer from another town.

But Yun Sang still spent a few pennies to keep a record in the yamen, he said to the yamen servant: "If anyone comes to look for this man, let him go directly to Yun's house in Shanxi Village to look for it."

As for whether the family can be found, it may depend on the destiny.Before finding him, what should Xiao Heng do? It seems that he has no choice but to stay at Yun's house for the time being.

On the way to the market.

Yun Sang thought for a while, and then said his own analysis: "From your accent, you should be from the north, maybe you still have the accent of the capital. I can't send you there. After I pass the Juren exam, I will go to the capital to rush for the exam. It won't be until February next year, and I will bring you with me at that time."

Even if the Yun family can't even pay for the travel expenses to the capital at the moment, people always come up with a solution. As long as Yun Sang is admitted as a scholar, it is equivalent to having a reputation. Treat each other with courtesy.Even if the family is too poor to open the pot, some people will voluntarily send money to them, just to form a good relationship. This is why so many scholars are overwhelmed and want to get ahead in the imperial examination. Scholars enjoy all kinds of privileges , the status is directly higher than that.

Of course, Yun Sang is still just a little boy, so it doesn't surprise anyone.A boy in his early ten years can be called a "child prodigy" and has investment value, but a boy in his fifteenth or sixteenth year is just average.

But Yun Sang firmly believed that he would pass the exam.

He continued: "If you want to stay in the Yun family, neither Yunniang nor I alone can make the decision, you have to show your ability..." He finished his point, the elder brother is not allowed to call the younger sister by her boudoir name directly to outsiders, he will Call Yun Jiaojiao Yun Niang.

Although he didn't understand why Yun Jiaojiao was so attentive to this man, as if she was repaying her kindness, but she had to know that Yun Jiaojiao was from a family of daughters, and no matter how much she acted like a baby, she couldn't influence the whole family's decision.

Xiao Heng understood.

In order to be able to have enough to eat, and to stay with the young man and keep the covenant in the capital together, he wanted to stay at Yun's house.

"You can't remember your own name. Let me pick one for you first. What word do you like?" These days, perhaps because of the dark skin of men, Yun Jiaojiao has been calling him Dahei very affectionately, and it is always Brother Dahei, Called Big Black Brother, Yun Jiaojiao is also very familiar with and enthusiastic about men, as if they were acquainted in previous lives, so they can break through the defense of men and women in this life.

This name is actually embarrassing. There are many people in the countryside called Zhuzi, Goudan, and Erhei, but the puppy of the Yun family is black all over and sticks out a pink tongue all the time.

Yun Sang was a bit of a stubborn scholar in his bones, so of course such a random name should be banned, so he decided to change the name of the other party.

"I... I should be called Heng... the single name is 'Heng'..." The man said seriously. When Yun Sang said that his accent might be from the capital city, several images suddenly appeared in his mind, and then disappeared quickly. Gone, but he remembered his name.

"What about the surname?" Yun Sang raised his eyebrows, not surprised to see the man shaking his head, there are so many people with a single name but no surname in the world.

"Then I'll call you Ah Heng." Yun Sang said, it's not bad to be able to remember a little bit.He had great ambitions since he was a child, so he specially learned Mandarin from his master. At this time, the name was pronounced from the young man's mouth, and against the slightly soft accent, there was a bit of lingering taste.

Xiao Heng regained his composure and nodded, obviously agreeing.

Next, he accompanied Yun Sang to the market to buy some pastries and tea bags, and saw the young man haggling with a peddler for a few pennies to buy a carved plum blossom wooden comb. , Why would you buy these things to please girls.

As soon as he made such a judgment, he saw Yun Sang walk to a two-entry house, straightened his clothes, and then knocked on the door.

Soon there was a porter who looked like a servant, seeing who was knocking on the door, the porter immediately smiled, bowed and said: "It turns out that the young man is here, let the young man go to inform the master, he has been looking forward to it for a long time." .” After speaking, he hurriedly walked in three steps and two steps.

It turned out to be a young master, and the comb should be given to my wife.Xiao Heng carried the gift, frowned and slightly stretched his bushy eyebrows, as if he had suddenly realized.

Etiquette is very important these days. After worshiping the tea ceremony, it is "a teacher for one day and a father for life". Wearing a blue Confucian uniform and wearing a lun scarf, he looks like a middle-aged gentleman.

He has protruding cheekbones and a slender face. He looks very serious and rigid. When he sees the boy at the door, his face softens involuntarily.

Because Yun Sang was also wearing a Tsing Yi today, with her hair tied up high and wrapped in a turban commonly used by scholars. Just looking at her appearance and demeanor, she is as white as snow in the pine, as beautiful as a bamboo in the forest, she is completely a The picturesque, rich and handsome young man.

He is also Zheng Fuzi's favorite student in private.

How many times he regretted that he had a daughter when he was old and was still babbling, his age and mentality were not suitable for this student, otherwise he would marry his daughter or recruit Yun Sang as his son-in-law.

Seeing that Yun Sang didn't come empty-handed, Mr. Zheng sighed: "You have a heart, bring less next time, and save the money for travel expenses."

Seeing Xiao Heng, he was taken aback again, "Who is this person?"

After Yun Sang told the truth, Mrs. Zheng smoothed his chin and beard, and was very satisfied with the arrangement of the students: "That's very good, this strong man should have learned martial arts. I was worried that you would go to the township examination alone, and the journey may be far away. There are twists and turns, and with this strong man escorting him, I think there will be no worries along the way."

The township examination will be held in the provincial capital, and students from all over the country have to go to catch the exam. The journey is far away and it is easy to encounter danger, because bandits and bandits hide in the mountains.

How weak this student's physique is, as a teacher who preaches and dispels doubts, of course Mr. Zheng knows it clearly, and it is not enough for those bandits to crush him with a single finger.Fortunately, this student is talented and intelligent, and his weak body only needs to be recuperated with all his heart, and it becomes insignificant in front of his strong talent.

Xiao Heng thought the same way, if he really met a bandit, the young man's thin neck, if he cut it off with a knife, he might be gone.Thinking of this, his eyebrows were furrowed, and he couldn't imagine such a tragedy happening at all.

When Yun Sang came to visit the teacher, he didn’t forget to take out his books to ask for advice. The last round of the Tongsheng Examination was not difficult. Most of the scope came from the Four Books and Five Classics, and a small amount came from other history books, the Book of Filial Piety, and Nine Chapters of Arithmetic.The exam is divided into three sessions. The main test is the scope of the Four Books and Five Classics, to check the candidates' understanding of the sages and sages, followed by poems and prose.The overall difficulty is not great, but if you want to stand out and stand out from the crowd, you have to spend some thought.

Mrs. Zheng is the most famous master in ten miles and eight villages. His fame is only as a scholar, so he can teach Yun Sang to a limited extent, but if Yun Sang has any doubts, he will teach him all he can.The two discussed, immersed in the knowledge and completely forgetting themselves, completely forgetting the passage of time.

Xiao Heng stayed by the side, and heard Master Zheng sigh many times: "Although you started late, your talent is extraordinary far beyond ordinary people. As a teacher, there is nothing to teach you." As he spoke, Master Zheng took out two more Two silver coins were offered to the students as money, but of course Yun Sang refused.

Xiao Heng's eyes couldn't help congealing, and he fell into a lot of thought.He had heard Yunniang complain before, saying that the family was difficult, and in order to support Yunsang to study alone, he fell into abject poverty, plus how the frail young man was favored, and his parents didn't think about her marriage, etc. Wait, at the beginning, he also felt pity for her that women's life is not easy.From Yunniang's point of view, her complaints are not unreasonable, but now that he has seen the talent of a young man with his own eyes, he has changed his mind. If Yun Sang really abandons his education and goes to work in the fields, it will be a real waste of talent.

Because of this, the Yun family probably gained a farmer, but lost a scholar, or even a master.

As for Yunniang's marriage, if she is willing to delay for two years, and if Yunsang's imperial examination goes well, he can be admitted to the scholar and Juren along the way. Jun?

So what if there is no dowry, if Juren can be a magistrate, who would dare not treat Master Juren and his sister well?If she is willing to wait, maybe within two years, she will be able to wait for a beautiful marriage.

Xiao Heng had been in a high position for a long time before, so he was used to considering the highest interests in his plans and successes. Even after he lost his memory, his instinct was still there. Invisibly, his views on young people had gradually changed.

Finally, when the two came back from the county seat, everyone surrounded Yun Sang and asked if the road was bumpy, how he was, and if he had seen his wife. Even Yun Qing shouted, "Brother, did you bring me something to eat?"Only Yun Jiaojiao ran to Xiao Heng's side to greet him.

She secretly scolded Yun Sang for making a fuss like she did in her previous life, but fortunately the result was as consistent as in her previous life, the two of them went to the county government office and found nothing.Apart from the Yun family, the man had nowhere to go.Yun Sang could throw someone into Zhou Yuanwai's house as a tenant, but Yun Jiaojiao was sure that Yun Sang would not, because Zhou Yuanwai also called Zhou Papi, a tenacious man, and his tenants signed contracts of sale, at least for ten years.Just because of his conscience, Yun Sang would not do this, so he brought him back completely.

Emperor Feng never imagined that his younger brother was exiled to a border mountain. Shanxi Village in Qingyuan County was so remote and small in the entire Dafeng territory. No one could have imagined that the famous General Lin Lin was hit on the head, lost all his memory, and could not return to Beijing at all. , so the search results are even more crowded.

This means that Xiao Heng still has to stay in their house for a year just like in the previous life. This year is enough for her to treat Xiao Heng better and seize the opportunity she should have.

Yun Jiaojiao was secretly happy.
