The peasant boy of crossing

Jiazi month is Guiyou, suitable for marriage and traveling.

The wind was a bit strong, but the weather was still fine, so Li Xinyi pretended to be Wu Su's bookboy, bid farewell to Professor Jiang with everyone, and headed north.

Since Wu Su was beaten down by Li Xinyi's angry, noisy and provocative combination yesterday, he hasn't fully digested it for a while.

He doesn't look like a scholar who is going to take the exam, but like a dandy who spoils others.

Li Xinyi got angry again, and pulled her from the deck into the cabin, saying: "Now I am your entourage and servant, what are you doing like this, I am afraid that others will not know that you have broken your sleeve and divided your peaches?"

Wu Su was puzzled and aggrieved. He said, "You were motion sick before, but now you are seasick. I have to be more careful, lest you feel uncomfortable."

Li Xinyi sighed and said: "Your classmates are discussing articles, reciting poems and composing poems. It's outrageous for you to hang out with me. If you stay away from me, I will feel better."

Wu Su said: "I have learned a lot of essay writing skills from Professor Jiang these days, as well as the places that should be avoided in the examination room. I have discussed everything that should be discussed. Now I just hope that you will be less angry and more happy some."

Li Xinyi said: "I don't understand the article, but I know that when painting, one should not be overly complacent and complacent. Now I often feel nauseous. I must have a lettuce look. I really don't want to appear in front of you. Please let me go." Take it easy."

Li Xinyi said that, Wu Su still didn't agree, he wanted to kiss Li Xinyi's lips, but was avoided, he only kissed on the cheek, and he instructed: "If you feel uncomfortable, just call me."

Li Xinyi pushed his chest and urged, "Hurry up and go."

On the deck, Wang Yuan was sitting with two other classmates, and a servant was kneeling beside him making tea.Wu Su saw that they seemed to be talking happily about something, and didn't want to disturb him, so he turned and walked towards Fang Zheng who was sitting alone reading a book on the other side.

"Brother Fang, what are you looking at? Would you like to share it with me?"

Fangzheng took a look at Wu Su, and after highlighting the cover of the bright book, he said, ""Huizhou Local Chronicles"."

Wu Su came here because he wanted to find a quiet place to think about his thoughts.

He has always lived a simple life. Although his father is strict, he has a loving grandmother and mother who love him. His younger siblings also respect him very much, and his uncles and aunts are not hostile. His daily life seems to be just reading and getting a job.

After winning the exam, he was still a little apprehensive about the examination, thinking that with his identity as a candidate, it would not be difficult to become a local official as long as he planned properly.Especially after studying with Professor Jiang for a while, he became more and more confident.

Although Professor Jiang also criticized him, a man should "build a heart for the world, establish a life for the people, inherit the knowledge of the past, and create peace for all generations." And he came to this step more because of his curiosity about the world, And a thirst for knowledge that never seems to be satisfied.

The difference is also obvious.For example, for Wu Su, if Jinshi can't make it, then it's okay for fellow Jinshi who can win the top three.

But for most scholars, the same Jinshi is like a wife.If you won the third place, you might as well just fail the ranking. If you come back three years later, you might be able to get a Jinshi degree and a Jinshi background.The family background is different, and the official luck is completely different.

Wu Su felt that being able to get a bowl of rice and a person's heart seems to be enough for him at present.Another thing is to go to those famous libraries, or go to the Hanlin Academy to compile history books.

Looking at the sparkling water, he also forgot where his thoughts diverged, and then thought of Li Xinyi again, and felt that this person was indescribably cute.

I used to think he was very mysterious, and wanted to know what was going on in his brain.Now he was smiling and annoyed at him, more lively and more real.

He looked back towards the cabin, wondering if he was feeling better, so there were only three or five medicine sachets in the box, probably not enough, and when he arrived at the pier later, he had to go to the pharmacy to buy a few medicines.

Fangzheng pretended to focus on "Huizhou Local Chronicles", but the corner of his eye kept looking at Wu Su.

He remembered that before he left the house, his elder brother had asked him to be more gregarious, even if he was not gregarious, he should pretend to be gregarious, and if he couldn't speak, he should say a few words, but he couldn't keep silent.

If it hadn't been for the eldest brother who fell down the mountain to save himself, he wouldn't have limped and missed the scientific research.For the expectations of his elder brother, he must also be successful.

Seeing Wu Su frowning and laughing for a while, Fangzheng felt that it must be because he had neglected others, and said, "I still have a copy of "Xizhou Tujing", do you want to read it?"

Wu Su was thinking about his marriage with Li Xinyi, when he heard a thin and soft voice, he turned his head in doubt.

Fangzheng swallowed, with a straight face, he said in a rough voice: "I have a copy of "Xizhou Tujing", do you want to read it?"

Wu Su was taken aback. He suspected that if he answered "No", he might not see the sun tomorrow. He hurriedly said, "Excuse me, thank you!"

Fangzheng got up and went back to the cabin, took a book and went back to the deck, saying: "Here!"

Wu Su took it with both hands and thanked him.

Fangzheng said: "My character is pure one."

Wu Su was stunned for a moment, then reacted and said, "I'm Zijin."

Fangzheng said stiffly, "I know."

Wu Su looked at this volume of "Xizhou Tujing", and guessed that it should be a hard-to-get book.When he unfolded it and took a look, he realized that it was a rare item.

He looked at Fang Zheng who was concentrating on reading "Huizhou Local Chronicles", so he didn't disappoint and said something on the scene. Accepting Fang Zheng's kindness, he quickly finished reading this thin volume.

Fangzheng said: "My grandfather said that there are pictures in the last few pages of Xizhou Tujing, but it's a pity that they are scattered, and only this fragment remains."

Wu Su rolled up the book, tied it with a rope, and returned it to Fangzheng, saying, "Even if it is scattered, it is a rare and precious book. Hurry up and hide it. Don't make others jealous."

Fangzheng said indifferently: "In the eyes of those who value it, this is a precious thing, otherwise it is just as worthless as a storybook. It is a pity that this booklet is not mine, otherwise if you like it, I will give it to you .”

Wu Su disagreed: "Valuable treasures are valuable no matter where they are. Its value depends on itself, not on whether the person who owns it knows the goods."

It was the first time Fangzheng heard such remarks. It was a bit novel, and he felt that the words were quite reasonable.

Wu Su looked at Fangzheng tilting his head thoughtfully, and couldn't help but say a few more words: "Even if this booklet is yours, there is no reason why I would give it to me if I said I like it.

I like it because I feel happy when I see it, and I feel that there are so many things in the world that I have never seen or heard of, but it is not because I own it.

So there is no need to send books. Once I have seen it, I will never forget it. "

Fangzheng smiled and said, "You are interesting, make friends with me!" He put down the book in his hand, and stretched out his hand to Wu Su.

Wu Su also said with a smile: "If you want to be friends with me because of these two words, then I have to say, I didn't say this at first, I heard it from others, just happened to think of it suddenly, this I just said a few more words."

Fang Zheng said: "Of course not because of the painting, but because of your character. I know that you are different from them."

Fangzheng glanced at the other side of the deck as he spoke, and said, "That day they actually went to that dirty place, they were monsters who were neither human nor ghost, neither male nor female, and they were also very interested. Extremely confused."

Wu Su also doesn't like those men who look more charming than women, not because they are neither fish nor fowl, but because these people give up their dignity as a man for survival, or just for money, and do things that sell their flesh and blood. livelihood.

Seeing these Nanfeng pavilions springing up like mushrooms after rain, he only felt complicated.Moreover, he could tell that the people who went to the garden still liked women, so those young ladies all dressed up like women, combed their hair and put on powder.

Wu Su said: "Actually, I am a broken sleeve."

Fang Zheng was so shocked that he couldn't even hold "Huizhou Local Chronicles", the book fell on the ground, Wu Su wanted to pick it up for him, Fang Zheng hurriedly picked up the book first, and left quickly.

Wu Su sighed, but didn't take it to heart. Seeing that almost an hour had passed, Li Xinyi should calm down, and then walked slowly into the cabin.

The canal is narrow and mostly used for water transportation. I heard that several rivers in Shandong were silted up again, so everyone decided to take the water route first, wait for the Jianghuai area, and then switch to the land route.

The road was fairly calm, and all the way to Jining, the people got off the boat, ready to rest for half a day, and then found someone to rent a few carriages from the carriage.

Wang Yuandao: "Our group is not only from the same hometown, but also from the same year. It is not easy to get acquainted, and we need to take care of each other."

Everyone nodded, and Wang Yuan said in a low voice: "I paid more money to find out from the boatman. Those rivers are not really silted up, but someone is deliberately blocking them."

Seeing everyone's surprised expressions, Wang Yuan said with satisfaction: "Since we are going to Beijing to take the exam, we should not be too public, lest the robbers think that we are quite rich. We have to live in order to enjoy the wealth and glory in the future ah."

Because of Wang Yuan's words, they did not rent a carriage, but only rented two ox carts and one donkey cart.

Li Xinyi wanted to say, since the robbers want to rob money, they don't care what kind of car you're in, it's better to hire a few bodyguards to protect you.

He pulled Wu Su aside and expressed his thoughts.In fact, he didn't really travel long distances, he just read a few chivalrous stories when he was young, and there was a legend about the escorts in the escort agency.

Wu Su comforted him and said: "The robbers must be seeking money when they come to rob. Let's share a part of the gold and silver as a reserve. If we give the money, they won't take our lives."

After hearing Wu Su's "relief", Li Xinyi only felt worse!

The author has something to say: I heard that the tengu bit the sun today, but the clouds are as thick as cotton, and I can't see it at all.
