Cannon fodder warms your heart

With a delicate and attractive collarbone, and a slender neck that can be stretched at will, the two of them have never raised their hands in half a year since they got married, but he doesn't want to be brothers with Du Ruosheng anymore, he wants to be a husband and wife with him.

Song Ciyou leaned over and hugged Du Ruosheng from behind, but Du Ruosheng didn't push him away, Song Ciyou buried his face on his shoulder and gently kissed his shoulder through his coat, his voice was low and hoarse, "Ah Sheng, can I have you?"

"A Sheng, I want you."

Du Ruosheng curled up his fingers on his belly, pursed his lips, and breathed a little messily.

Song Ciyou leaned over and pressed down.Du Ruosheng pressed his palm lightly against his shoulder, Song Ciyou squeezed his wrist and pressed it on the top of his head, lowered his head and kissed his forehead soothingly, until he felt his wrist struggle twice.

Song Ciyou stopped, and subconsciously touched the end of his eyes with his fingers, and sure enough, he felt the wetness of his hand...Wake up like a thunderbolt all day, and immediately let go of the fingers holding his wrist, sat up, "A Sheng, I'm sorry to offend you."

Du Ruosheng bit his lip, unable to speak, Song Ciyou thought he was angry, knowing that Du Ruosheng married him for a reason, but taking advantage of others, he was too beastly.If someone dared to do anything to him, he wished he could kill him.

"I'm sorry, Ah Sheng, I'm sorry, you go to sleep, I won't bother you anymore." Song Ciyou pulled the quilt to wrap her inside, and ran to the yard to take a cold shower.

Du Ruosheng felt that Song Ciyou was gone, curled up his body, he was not unwilling.

Song Ciyou came in with a chill, and was relieved to see Du Ruosheng fell asleep, and leaned over to kiss his forehead lightly, "Go to sleep."

Before he raised his head, Du Ruosheng stretched out his arms to hug Song Ciyou, Song Ciyou's breathing became hotter and hotter, the tip of his nose pressed against his nose tip, and his lips touched his lips, Song Ciyou asked seriously, " You mean, can you?"

Du Ruosheng turned his head, blushed, and nodded slightly.

……

The cold moon shyly hid behind the clouds. After a few close contacts, Song Ciyou hugged Du Ruosheng, who was stamped with his unique mark, lovingly, and kissed his lips one after another, as if no amount of kissing was enough Same.

Song Ciyou got up in the middle of the night to boil water, poured it into the bathtub, and put Du Ruosheng, who was already tired and asleep, into it, looking at the bruises on his body with distress.Du Ruosheng's skin was fair and fair, he had never suffered a bit since he was a child, and he didn't have any scars on his body, so he was too beastly.

After exporting the contents inside, Du Ruosheng sobbed softly in pain, and Song Ciyou felt even more distressed.After washing, I hugged her tightly in my arms.When Du Ruosheng woke up in the morning, his whole body was in pain, his mouth was dry, and his head was still a little dazed. He looked around blankly, and turned his head to a wall of flesh.

Thinking of the man's cruelty last night, I felt an unspeakable grievance in my heart for a moment, and pushed Song Ciyou, who pretended to be asleep, immediately opened his eyes, and seeing Du Ruosheng still in his arms, his eyes suddenly closed. It was obviously much brighter, and the end of his eyes was stained with a smile.

Du Ruosheng was even more wronged, his eyes rolled in their sockets, Song Ciyou was so frightened that he quickly put his palms on his forehead, and asked softly, "What's wrong with you?"

Ruosheng's beautiful eyes could hardly contain the grievance, and he licked his dry lips, signaling that he was thirsty.

Song Ciyou hurriedly went down to the ground to bring the hot water, wrapped him in the quilt and half hugged him from the bed, let him lean on his back, pulled the quilt to cover him tightly, and then held the bowl to feed him He drinks water.

The warm water woke up the empty stomach, and Du Ruosheng felt himself alive. He stretched out his hand to push Song Ciyou who was bullying him, but when he lowered his head, he saw his snow-white arm exposed. He looked at his chest again, and realized One thing came to mind in hindsight:

He didn't even wear an inch...

Although the two of them had the most intimate thing last night, Du Ruosheng couldn't help blushing, retracted his arms, and pulled the quilt to wrap himself.

Song Ciyou was funny and a little distressed, such a good Ruosheng, how could he be so good, so good.

When the two went out, everyone in the family went to the ground, and the elder sister-in-law and the second sister-in-law took care of the children in the house, so as to avoid embarrassment for the two of them.

Song Ciyou continued to copy books, feeling uneasy, thinking of Du Ruosheng all the time, but Du Ruosheng ignored him.Song Ciyou suddenly remembered the movable type printing technique he had seen in his previous life, so he leaned over and told Du Ruosheng Bi Sheng's method, using clay to make blanks of the same specification, and engraved reverse-style monograms on one end, with the raised strokes as high as copper coins The thickness of the edge is the same, and it is hardened by fire to become a single clay movable type.

Du Ruosheng thought about it for a while, and then agreed to try it with him. The two of them got some clay to test, and it was indeed possible to print. In order to meet the needs of typesetting

, several or even dozens of commonly used characters are prepared for use when repeated in the same edition.When encountering rare words that are not commonly used, if there is no preparation in advance, you can use them as you make them.

In order to facilitate the selection of characters, the clay movable type is classified according to rhyme and placed in a wooden grid, and a note is attached to mark it.When typesetting, an iron plate with a frame is used as the base, and a layer of potion made of turpentine, wax and paper ash is applied on it, and then the required clay movable type is picked out and arranged into the frame one by one.When a frame is filled, it becomes a plate, and then it is baked with fire. After the medicine is slightly melted, a flat plate is used to flatten the words, and after the medicine cools and solidifies, it becomes a plate.

When printing, you only need to brush ink on the plate, cover it with paper, and apply a certain amount of pressure.In order to be able to print continuously, two iron plates are used, one for printing and the other for typesetting, and the two plates are used alternately.After printing, the potion is roasted with torch, and the movable type can fall off the iron plate with a light shake of the hand, and then put it back into the original wooden grid according to the rhyme, so that it can be used again next time.

The two of them took the printed version of the book to the bookstore for trial sale. The handwriting was clear and neat. Because the copyist had to write the name of the copyist, Song Ciyou wrote Du Ruosheng. Later, the first printed version of the book was written as Du Ruosheng. Sheng's name.Because he knew that Du Ruosheng was more talented than him, but he couldn't display it, and couldn't study the imperial examinations, but Song Ciyou especially hoped that Du Ruosheng would be famous forever, and be remembered by future generations as this amazingly talented person.

If you only print two or three copies of the book with clay movable type, it is not easy. If you print hundreds or thousands of copies, the work efficiency will be extremely impressive. It can not only save a lot of manpower and material resources, but also greatly improve the printing speed and quality. Enlightenment books such as "San Zi Jing" and "Hundred Family Surnames" printed by Song Ciyou and Du Ruosheng were all purchased by the publishing house.

Later, the two elder brothers and sister-in-law also joined the ranks of helping to make clay printing. The family is rich, and the four cubs are growing up day by day, and the smiles on the faces of the family are getting more and more.Song Ciyou told his family that this was researched by Du Ruosheng, and discussed with his family that half of the money he earned would go to Du Ruosheng, and the rest would generally go to kilometers. many.

☆, the head of the government examination case

Time soon came to the beginning of spring, and Song Ciyou was going to the county to take the exam. Because the county exam required five people who took the same exam to guarantee each other, Song Ciyou went to the academy ahead of time, and together with four other students from the academy, went to The county town ceremony room signed up and booked an inn in advance.

Next, he was going to go to the government examination. Before he left, he went back home. It would take five days before and after the trip. Li Shiqian urged him to take all the good things at home. Now Life is better, but the delicious food at home is still close to him. Song sewed a sandwich in his clothes and hid an emergency bank ticket.

The environment of the examination room is inherently bad, so you have to be more careful when eating, and you can’t change the recipe easily. You can eat whatever you usually eat on the day of the exam.Song Ciyou is not greedy for appetite, and he doesn't have to worry about eating lightly every day.

Back in the house, Du Ruosheng also handed him a coat. Song Ciyou picked up the pattern and touched the banknote sewn inside, couldn't help but hugged him into his arms, resting his chin on his shoulder, The two have been together since they got married, and now they suddenly have to see no one for five days. Song Ciyou is worried that he will not get used to it. After all, Du Ruosheng can't speak, and he is a male daughter-in-law. He is also good-looking. I'm quite worried.

The parting is imminent, Song Ciyou always wanted to hug him more, and he did not forget to tell her carefully, "I told my mother about the water for washing at night. She will bring it to the door when it is boiled. After scalding your feet, you have to go back to the bed quickly. In addition, when you wake up in the morning, remember to go to the kitchen to get breakfast, and don’t read for too long..."

Song Ciyou babbled, Du Ruosheng stretched out his hand to cover his mouth, the disgust in his eyes was obvious, why does this person always feel that he doesn't know how to pay attention to these things unless he talks about them, and he can't wait to put him on the belt Don't worry.

Song Ciyou was amused by him, this man's eyes can really speak, in fact he is not usually a long-winded person, and he usually doesn't talk that much.Du Ruosheng knew that Song Ciyou was worried about him, but he had only been away for five days, so it was as if he was parting for life.

The disgusted Song Ciyou laughed happily, and then the two of them sat side by side at the desk to write, sometimes turning their heads to say a few daily things, sometimes teasing him a little bit, they didn't look like people who were about to leave home to take the rural exam.But early the next morning, he still went to the academy, rented a carriage with four other people and set off to book an inn in the county seat.

Unfortunately, Song Ciyou vomited and had diarrhea as soon as he arrived, and even went to the toilet many times the night before the exam.Before the exam, I poured another bowl of medicine into it, and my legs were shaking.

Fortunately, even though he went to the bathroom during the exam, he still had enough time to answer the questions. The three-day exam was spent with stomachaches. Although the process was difficult, Song Ciyou was full of confidence.

When he went back after the exam, he thought that he should at least welcome the whole family to sing and dance. Unfortunately, he thought too much. Xiaoxi fell ill and had dysentery, and the whole family's heart was hanging on it. was instructed to wash diapers.

After Xiaoxi saved the whole family, he was relieved, turned around and found that he was washing diapers, and quickly snatched it away for him to go back to study.Only Du Ruosheng noticed his embarrassment, and he frowned with a smile, which made Song Ciyou laugh too, and took out his test basket and baggage.

"What did you bring? It looks heavy." His mother asked.

Song Ciyou gave it to his family while digging out, "This is the fabric bought for grandma, mother, sister-in-law, and second sister-in-law. The people who bought clothes in the county said that the fabric is comfortable to wear. This is shredded tobacco for grandpa, but wine for daddy. It’s just clothes for elder brother and second brother, a paperweight for Ruosheng, and a few gadgets for Dongdong…”

Under the light, Song Ciyou, who was carefully arranging the gifts for his family, had soft brows, energetic and bright, as if carrying a certain heavy hope, everyone's heart was lifted, and they couldn't help but feel joyful.

"My mother is not short of anything, I have saved up the money and I have to go to Beijing to take the exam..." He said so, but his face was full of smiles.

The family is happy and harmonious. For so many years, the family has tightened their belts for Song Ciyou to study, and they have not let him do any work inside and outside the family. They just hope that Song Ciyou can become famous and find a new way out for the old Song family.

Everyone looked at Song Ciyou anxiously, but they didn't dare to ask. Even Du Ruosheng looked at him with questions in his eyes. Song Ciyou smiled, "Don't worry, my foundation is very solid, and Ruosheng tutored me for the exam. Skills, even if it is not the first place, the top three are still possible."

Old Song's family smiled happily, and even the four milk dolls opened their mouths. Song Youning sent four cradles not long ago, and now the four milk dolls are lying in them, infected by adults, grinning.

Going back to each room, Song Ciyou opened the book blue, called Du Ruosheng over, and took out a bag of sweet-scented osmanthus cake, "This is the pastry of Baiweisu in the county town, I brought you a bag, this is the jade hairpin from Hongxiufang, it suits you very well, Here it is for you, this is the soft undershirt that Si Yuxuan bought, your previous one is a bit frayed..."

Du Ruosheng saw that it was hollowed out, a look of disappointment flashed in his eyes, Song Ciyou was amused, and took out a stack of papers from his arms, "This is the exam question for this year."

Du Ruosheng's eyes lit up, and he took it with both hands and began to answer the question. Song Ciyou didn't bother him, and found another piece of paper and began to silently write his answer.

When Du Ruosheng finished writing, he turned his head and saw Song Ciyou tiredly lying on the table and fell asleep, his face fell on the paper, and the wet ink was smeared on his face. He picked up the blanket and covered him, and looked at his face. The face is in a daze.

It's great to meet this person!

The next day, Song Ciyou and Du Ruosheng got the answers right, except for Mo Yi's height difference, but overall there was no big problem. Du Ruosheng looked at Song Ciyou with admiration.Song Ciyou is smart and hardworking, and he is not impatient. Now that he has learned a lot and memorized it for half a year, his strength has soared. This time, he is stable.

Five days later, the county finally released the list, and it took Song Ciyou and his party a lot of effort to squeeze in.The word Song Ciyou was impressively at the top of the list. When everyone saw this Song Ciyou, there was a lot of discussion, and they finally remembered that it was a 12-year-old Tongsheng County case three years ago, and now he is only 15 years old. Out of talent ah.

Song Ciyou couldn't care less about socializing with his classmates, and hurried home to tell his family the good news.

The family was overjoyed. They patted Song Ciyou on the shoulder and praised him. Song Ciyou was a little embarrassed by the praise. How can someone be so boastful?Thinking about how his family has held their breath for him to study for so many years, they have never shown such intense emotions. Now he is so happy just passing the government examination. A scholar is the official start of the road to the imperial examination.

He is now a quasi-scholar!At that time, the family will be exempted from the corvée labor of the two males, so his father and grandfather will not have to worry about it; the family's land mu tax, silk cotton linen tax, and small mouth tax will all be exempted, and he will still get granary rice and granary every month Silver, there are rewards in the clan...

After becoming a scholar, if you are short of money, you can go to the county government to apply for a book clerk, go to a private school as a teacher, and work as a bookkeeper. The price of pen and ink has also doubled...

There is still a tax amount of [-] mu of land. His family only has [-] mu of land. With the addition of a few uncles, he can still leave the land tax for other widowed and lonely old people in the village. In this peaceful and prosperous age, he can gain a foothold on this land.Although it is still far from the glory and wealth, it will never lead a poor life.His Ruosheng also has a place to settle down.

But for the members of the old Song family, it can be described by the phrase that one person attains the Tao, and the chicken and dog ascend to heaven. That social status is a qualitative leap.

People from the village came to congratulate, the Song family came and went in an endless stream, and Song Ciyou had to prepare for Qiu Wei. The exam time was divided into three sessions, namely August [-]th, [-]th and [-]th. The exam was held in Qinghe County It is carried out in the tribute courtyard specially set up by the province.

It's only the end of April now, and there is still half a year until August, Song Ciyou is a little hesitant whether to study at home or go to the academy.

In addition to the Four Books and Five Classics when he participated in Qiu Wei, mathematics, poetry, law and policy theory will be the next focus to improve.Song Ciyou was exceptionally good at mathematics. After all, he was a university professor in his previous life and would go to class whenever he had nothing to do. There were very few difficult questions for him. As for law and policy theory, those were Du Ruosheng's forte. Teach Song Ciyou.

But the poems and songs are really not brilliant. Although he has the cultural essence of 5000 years in his stomach, he has never thought of stealing it. He lost his life and cultural heritage because of this, how could he act like that villain.

It is not a trivial matter for Song Ciyou to be admitted as a scholar in ten miles and eight villages. There are more and more aunts from the neighbors who come to the house to chat. It's really not too much, but Song Ciyou has already married a wife, even if it is a male wife, there is a saying in this dynasty that you can't stop your wife and marry again, Li simply refused.

Being selected as a scholar, Song Ciyou is no different from before, mainly because he has a real academic master by his side.Song Ciyou was racking his brains for writing poems, he

His performance in poetry and fu has always been mediocre, except for the deep-rooted sense of rejection, that is, he has nothing in his head.

Du Ruosheng, who is well-read, can write amazing poems and fus without leaving home. After reading it, Song Ciyou decided to study at home.

The Song family was a little worried that Du Ruosheng would not be able to teach him, but they would not refute Song Ciyou's decision.Under the guidance and guidance of Du Ruosheng, Song Ciyou finally understood that the core of poetry is actually "using allusions" and "expressing will".

As for the rules of Ping and Zhe, it is easy to master. Ping Yin in ancient Chinese can be transformed into the first and second tones in the modern four-tone tone, and the Zhe tone is similar to the third and fourth tones of today's tone. Different metrical poems There are different requirements. For example, one of the five rhythm poems is "Pingping, Zeeping, Zeze..." Just memorize it.

☆, small three yuan

As for antithesis and rhyme, it is easier to understand.But if you want to make poems with style, you must be familiar with allusions.If you want poetry to have a soul, you must have something to say, and put what you see, hear, and your inner feelings into words.

In order to write poems, Song Ciyou began to memorize Bowen, a lot of reading and endorsement, and the large collection of books brought by Du Ruosheng is very practical. Sometimes Song Ciyou’s head hurts and Du Ruosheng asks him to answer. The topics are not limited to the Four Books and Five Classics, counting poetry and laws, and there are many complicated and obscure questions. Song Ciyou was really tossed and couldn't tell day from night.

The imperial examination is similar to the modern Judicial Examination and Judiciary Examination. Anyone who has passed the examination knows that it was a dark and dark day, because human memory is always a defect that cannot be reversed. The memory curve is maintained.What's more, the content of the scriptures is still very difficult, which is really a headache.If you want to improve in a short period of time, you really need to work hard.

The Song family couldn't even hear the children crying, only the sound of Song Ciyou's endorsement. The second sister-in-law was full-time cooking for Song Ciyou and Du Ruosheng, not letting him get distracted. Song Ciyou finally understood what it meant He was so sleepy that he really stabbed himself.

Now Song Ciyou's day is like this: get up at five o'clock in the morning and drag Du Ruo

Sheng gets up, runs in circles, crouches and punches. The longest exam is nine days and nine nights. Those who are not in good health are carried out. It is very important to take part in the imperial examination. The physical fitness is very important. Another thing is that he also needs to protect himself. And Du Ruosheng's ability.

It’s about six o’clock after the practice, wash up and eat breakfast, take advantage of the morning air to memorize Bo Wen’s strong memorization and endorsement, start answering questions at nine o’clock, eat and rest at twelve noon, and read books after nap at 01:30. Practicing calligraphy, counting, endorsing and composing poems, and at four o'clock in the afternoon, it is time to do the questions, and he will review it in the evening. From this point of view, his life is not easy every day, but it is very fulfilling.

He set up a simple number room in the courtyard of his home, near the toilet, and took a mock exam once a month. Except for the security check, everything else was the same as the formal exam. I don’t know where Du Ruosheng sorted out the previous exam questions and asked him to do it. , as soon as you enter, you will be released three days later, so that the mentality of the examination room is getting better and better.

Du Ruosheng had to accompany all the hardships along the way. Not only did he have to supervise and assess Song Ciyou, but he was also responsible for the movable type printing. The main source of income for the family was from him. After four months, both of them lost weight. But it is getting more and more prosperous.

There are many advantages and disadvantages of studying at home. The road to the imperial examination is long and difficult, and scholars who come from the same place will help each other.Although it is still too early to say these things, if you really hope to become a student of the emperor in the future, the friendship formed at this stage will be even more precious.But Song Ciyou thinks it's okay, after all, most of the people who draw swords to you are acquaintances.

In the blink of an eye, it’s August. Now I’m going to take the college exam and go to Fucheng. The exam will take three days in a row, but it will take six days to go back and forth on the road. In addition, I’ll go three days in advance to adapt to the time, and I’ll wait another five days to get listed. Just returned.

When going out this time, Song Ciyou didn't babble any more, the two of them lay quietly on the bed, Du Ruosheng's hand was nestled in his palm, this trip was to officially step out of Min County Mansion, and go on a wider road in the future.

Du Ruosheng turned her head to look at the handsome young man who is now so tall. His talent and learning will definitely not stop there. When he is far beyond him and the Du family no longer needs him, what will he do next.

Song Ciyou didn't realize what Du Ruosheng was thinking. It's been too long since he's been away, and he couldn't bear to see this person for such a long time. Sure enough, he wanted to be a pair of bards with Du Ruosheng without taking the imperial examination. The expectations of the whole family are on him, and he is not willing to stop there.

On the day of the college examination, the guards carefully checked the identity of the candidates in the face book, and strictly searched the body, requiring the candidates to untie their hair, take off their shoes and socks to check whether there is any entrainment. capable.

After Xuezheng's roll call and singing, all candidates entered the examination room with their number plates. Song Ciyou picked up his pen and ink and started the exam under the supervision of Xuezheng.

After seeing the topic, Song Ciyou couldn't help being taken aback. The topic of the first policy discussion was that Du Ruosheng had asked a similar topic. He had done a lot of questions in the past four months. Many times he felt that Du Ruosheng's topic was It was too biased, but he still answered seriously. Du Ruosheng would also write his own opinions when reviewing it. This policy topic came from the credentials of Dayong Kingdom's envoy banquet seven years ago. Who would have thought that it would appear in the college examination inside.

The questions after the first question are all routine questions, but the first question definitely puts a lot of psychological pressure on many students.Three days passed by in a hurry, and Song Ciyou checked and checked again, fearing that the handwriting would be revised, he would write it on the manuscript paper first and then transcribe it, and the written scroll was very brilliant.

Three days passed in a blink of an eye, someone was carried out, Song Ciyou was in a daze when he saw the sun, and then went back to the inn and fell into a deep sleep.

The students got together to check the answers, but they couldn't find Song Ciyou after searching. He had been wandering around in various shops in Fucheng. When he found something suitable for his family, he bought it. Money, there is no way, bad teeth can only eat soft rice.

Song Ciyou returned to the inn and was pulled straight by his classmates. He originally thought that this little genius was cold and unreasonable, but when he saw him carrying a large bag of things and holding the tiger shoes worn by children in his arms, he instantly felt that he was Being humane, he leaned over and asked, "Tomorrow is August [-]th, and we can't reunite with our families during the Mid-Autumn Festival. Why don't we hold a Mid-Autumn Poetry Fair and have fun?"

All the candidates lived in this inn, and it was common for everyone to learn from each other. Song Ciyou often studied at home and wanted to see the level of other students, so he agreed.

On the second day, Song Ciyou changed into the cyan schoolboy gown that Du Ruosheng specially packed in his bag for him. It looked very elegant. Song Ciyou touched it lovingly. It had been ten days since he had seen Ah Sheng, and he missed him a little. So I wrote a trustee and took it back.I just went to participate in the poetry meeting. This time, the poetry meeting is held at the home of Fang Shan, a local student. The pavilions and pavilions are very elegant. Everyone proposes that the water flow is flowing, and the poems are right. Song Ciyou is not particularly conspicuous but no one underestimates it. he.

Song Ciyou mainly lies in listening. When it's his turn, he composes poems according to the routine guided by Du Ruosheng, citing scriptures and classics, and his rhetoric is brilliant, which attracts many students to marvel at his reading volume.

Xiaoxiao made a splash, made a few friends and went back, anxiously waiting for the results to be announced.However, before the results were announced, Du Ruosheng received a letter from his family, and Du Ruosheng's grandfather passed away.

Song Ci worried, how anxious Du Ruosheng must have been, so he couldn't wait for the announcement tomorrow, so he asked his classmates to help read the list and hurried back to the county. After three days' journey, he rented a horse for one day and ran back. When he arrived at Du's house The white cloth had already been hung up at home, Song Ciyou hurried in and looked for Du Ruosheng among the crowd of people in sackcloth and filial piety.

"Hey hey hey, what are you looking for? Shangxiang is here." The servants of Du's mansion saw him dressed in disorder and hurriedly called out.

Song Ciyou hurriedly withdrew from the mourning hall, "You three young masters?"

"Which third son? The third master or the third young master?" Aren't everyone inside?

"Du Ruosheng, Third Young Master Du." Song Ciyou said hastily.

"Oh, you said that married man, he helps in the back kitchen, a married son is not qualified to kneel in it." The servant pointed in the direction and went to work.

Song Ciyou held his breath at the door, how could he use such an insulting tone to say that Du Ruosheng, who is so cool and bright, didn't let Ruosheng cry? It's unreasonable. He hurried to the kitchen and saw Du Ruosheng squatting by the well washing fish in the yard. The well water was cold, and Du Ruosheng's fingers were already red from the cold, and he was pierced by a fishbone.

Such beautiful hands were so spoiled, Song Ciyou hurriedly stepped forward and pulled his hands into his chest to warm them up, Du Ruosheng struggled and found that it was Song Ciyou, so he softened his body, the joy in his eyes couldn't be hidden no matter what, Song Ciyou's heart suddenly softened, and seeing the tiredness between his brows and his red hands, his heart ached again.

"Shall we go home?" Song Ciyou bent over and asked softly.

Du Ruosheng's eyes were a little red, he sucked his nose and shook his head, tears flowed out, his grandfather passed away, he has no relatives in this world, and he can't keep watch for his grandfather, this made Du Ruosheng feel wronged.

Song Ciyou reached out to wipe away his tears and rubbed his head, "Don't cry, I'll wash it for you. After washing, we will secretly go to watch for grandpa."

Song Ciyou asked him to squat beside him and wash the fish by himself. Du Ruosheng lowered his eyes, his eyelids trembled slightly, and his eyes were soft. He pursed his lips and smiled softly. He turned around and washed the fish with Song Ciyou. He glanced at him, and held back when he saw the red eyes.She opened her mouth to tell him about what happened in the exam in detail, and even recited the exam questions silently to Du Ruosheng.

At night, the other guards were not willing to keep watch, so Du Ruosheng and Song Ciyou kept watch all night.Three days after the morgue, Mr. Du was buried. At this time, the servant of the yamen who gave the good news had already arrived in Songjiatun.

When the list of township examinations was released, it coincided with the fragrance of golden osmanthus, so it was called Guibang.All the students who pass the exam are called Juren, and No.1 is called Jieyuan.Song Ciyou happened to be Jie Yuan this year.In addition to the first two cases, he is a real junior.

Lao Song's family was so surprised that they were almost crazy, just like Fan Jinzhongju, they were talking about their ancestors' blessings, and they withheld food from the teeth of the whole family for this day, ancestors' blessings.

Second brother Song rushed straight to the county with the servant who announced the good news to tell third brother the good news. At this time, the atmosphere in the Du family was tense.

☆、Luming Banquet

"Heh, you guys have really big faces. You look down on your married son and want to take back the dowry of your married son. Why, you think Mr. Du is dead, so you don't even need your face?" Song Ciyou told Du Ruo Sheng Hu was behind him, looking at the shameless Du family.

As soon as the old lady was buried, the eldest young master of the Du family closed the courtyard door and stood on the ground. The servants surrounded Du Ruosheng and his wife, saying that they were discussing about the integration of the family property. The things he carried out when he got married were brought back. Anyway, he would never have children as a man, so the Song family might as well carry them back for his nephews because they were cheaper.

Du Ruoli, Du Ruosheng's brother in the lobby, snorted coldly, "The father's family has the right to take back the dowry of a married woman. Besides, he can't have children. Who knew that he swallowed the dowry when you divorced that day. He can still carry the dowry when he marries a concubine again." go?"

Song Ci was so worried that his heart ached. Seeing Du Ruoli looking at Du Ruosheng as if he was looking at things, he was suddenly furious. It turned out that Mr. Du married Du Ruosheng early because he was worried that this group of people would trade Du Ruosheng for power after his death.

Immediately short of breath, he kicked Du Ruoli on the stomach. Song Ciyou often exercised his body, and his strength was not small. Du Ruoli was kicked a long way, bent over and covered his stomach and glared at Song Ciyou.Du Ruoli was in a hurry. He locked up Du Ruosheng behind his father's and several uncles' backs because he wanted to take his share. By the way, he let Du Ruosheng reconcile. Hearing that Mr. Chen, the governor of the government, is a manly man, why don't you worry about Du Ruosheng being offered to Du Ruosheng? Backing the mountain, I didn't expect to be rubbed on the ground by someone.

Song Ciyou's training has been very effective, and it is more than enough to beat Du Ruoli. Du Ruoli cursed all kinds of dirty words in a hurry, and revealed his purpose in order to insult Du Ruosheng. Song Ciyou almost beat him to death.

Seeing the young master being beaten, the members of the Du family rushed over one after another. Du Ruosheng also knew a little bit of kung fu. When he saw someone hitting Song Ciyou with a stick, his first reaction was to get on his back and beat him for him. that stick.Song Ciyou was anxious and fought with his servant.The two were besieged on three floors inside and three floors outside. At this time, Second Brother Song came to find them together with the yamen servant and the county magistrate who came to announce the good news.

The current Patriarch of the Du family, Uncle Du Ruosheng is very happy. The good news is that the old man's vision is really accurate. He has chosen a son-in-law who is Xiao Sanyuan. After that, the future is unpredictable, and there will be no problem in protecting the Du family for another 50 years.Immediately, he led people to the small courtyard where Du Ruosheng lived before he got married. As soon as he opened the door, he saw Du Ruoli's arrogant conductor Ding beating him to death.

Second Brother Song was furious and rushed up to push the servant away, revealing Song Ciyou with a bruised nose and swollen face from the beating.

This is probably Song's first Xie Yuan who was beaten on the day of winning the examination.

Song Ciyou quickly picked up Du Ruosheng who was under his protection. Du Ruosheng was beaten with a stick and needed to see a doctor. Song Ciyou left Du's house with Du Ruosheng in his arms.

The county magistrate snorted coldly. His youngest son also had a marriage contract with the third daughter of the Du family. It seemed that this marriage contract could not be counted, so he left with a cold snort.

I went to the doctor's office and saw that my back was hit and swelled up. Fortunately, I didn't hurt my muscles and bones. I just rubbed the medicine and wiped it off.

Song Ciyou took Du Ruosheng home. The originally happy family was a little depressed because of Song Ciyou and Du Ruosheng being beaten. Fortunately, Song Ciyou got over it with a gag and gave them a gift for the family. , the family rejoiced again.

Back in the house, Du Ruosheng was lying on Song Ciyou's lap. Song Ciyou applied medicine to him, and there was a bruise on his already thin and thin back, which was shocking just looking at it. "Next time, don't be so stupid and rush up to protect me."

Song Ciyou lightly touched Ruosheng's back and shoulders with his fingertips, and Du Ruosheng flinched slightly.Song Ciyou silently withdrew his hand, curled his fingertips, and curled his fingers into a fist.His chest was so congested, he bent down and put his arms around Du Ruosheng from the back, buried his face in his neck, and let out a breath slowly. "It made you suffer."

Du Ruosheng shook his head, it didn't hurt very much.

Song Ciyou rubbed it hard, lowered his eyes, couldn't help but hugged the sweat-drenched Du Ruosheng into his arms, rubbed his chin against the top of his hair, and said softly: "Ruosheng, can you accompany me to the Luming Banquet? ? After the banquet, I want to take you around Fucheng, I heard that there is a beautiful mountain stream there."

After the results of the township examination are released, the governor will host a Luming Banquet and invite all the candidates to go there. During the banquet, they will sing the poem "Deer Crying" and dance the Kuixing dance.Those with family members can bring their family members there, and those without family members will introduce their sisters to marry each other. Du Ruosheng knew this custom, so she nodded and agreed.

On the second day, Du Ruosheng took out the clothes he had made before from the closet. After coming to Song's house, he never wore this gorgeous and elegant wide-sleeved long dress. Song Ciyou was half a head taller than him, but he was not fat either. Song Ciyou's clothes can also be worn.

Both of them were dressed in white, and Song Ciyou felt that the person in front of him was a fairy who had walked out of an ink painting, with drooping eyelids, standing quietly, as if he looked otherworldly.But Song Ciyou lost his nobility after all, and his nose was bruised and his face was swollen. He forcibly dragged the fairy into the mortal world, adding a touch of fireworks to the world for him.

After tidying up and going out, Li Shi tsk tsk praised his son and son-in-law for their good looks, Song Ciyou happily let his old lady sell herself and boast, Du Ruosheng's ears turned red from the praise.

The two rented a carriage and returned to Fucheng. The yamen set up food and drinks in the lobby of the backyard. The governor did not arrive, so the students who came had to stand and chat in twos and threes in the yard.

When people meet each other, they first clasp their hands and smile to congratulate each other, and then introduce the people around them.Some of these people bring their brothers and sisters to meet people. It is impossible for those who pass the exam to be poor scholars, and there are also those sons of gentry and rich men. As long as we can get acquainted with them and marry them to form a more stable relationship, the benefits will be too much up.What was supposed to be a gathering of people turned into a meeting of curry favor and blind dates.

As soon as Song Ciyou and Du Ruosheng entered the door, everyone was quiet for three seconds, mainly because the man next to Song Song Ciyou was too outstanding
