Jiayu Village of Red Mansions

Follow Zhang Tingyu all the way through.

When I came to the front, there were two scholars sitting and talking, and when I saw Yucun and Tingyu coming, I got up to greet him. Zhang Tingyu pointed to one of the [-] or [-]* scholars and said, "This is Wang Yi from Changshu, whose name is Yulun, and whose name is Dongshan. He's crazy, he's about to go crazy with you, Yucun doesn't need to pay attention to him anymore!"

Hearing Zhang Tingyu's introduction, Yucun smiled brightly, and saw that the belt around his waist was twisted a few times, and it looked completely uneven. Tingyu's words were probably right.

Zhang Tingyu saw that Yucun's eyes turned around on Wang Yi's belt, and he knew that he must have believed it, and pointed to another person: "This is Qiantang Shen Jinsi, the word is a mountain, the style is rigorous, and it is good at playing chess. It must be I can go together with Yucun!"

Then Shen Jinsi heard that Yucun also likes to play chess, so he asked curiously: "Oh~ This dear friend also likes the way of black and white? We will discuss a game some other day."

Zhang Tingyu saw Shen Jinsi's eyes light up when he heard Go, shook his head, and said helplessly: "What's the matter with you, when you are enjoying yourself, do you know the game of Zhenlong chess in the Gaosheng Inn? He did it."

Stopping Shen Jinsi, who seemed about to rush over to have a hand-to-hand conversation with Yucun, Zhang Tingyu introduced to the two of them: "This is Jiahua, Huzhou. I named it Yucun by myself. I'm just eighteen, and I haven't won the championship yet. How can you two?" Take good care of it."

The two of them looked at Yucun carefully again, seeing that his face was pale and beardless, and he looked young, they both nodded and called Yucun his younger brother.

After being courteous and courteous to each other, the three of them sat down around the table, and Wang Yi looked Yucun up and down and said, "It's the end of February, and the sun is just right, why is my brother Yucun wearing so many clothes?"

Zhang Tingyu hadn't noticed it just now, but after Wang Yi said this, he realized that Yucun was wearing a little too much, which was also strange.

Seeing that everyone at this table was looking at him, Yucun smiled wryly in his heart, and said: "It was cold a few days ago, and I finished the questions on the last day of the exam. I stayed at home for seven or eight days to recuperate, and today I feel better, but I dare not relax anymore."

Hearing this, Zhang Tingyu saw that Yucun's complexion was indeed recovering from a serious illness, so he said, "In that case, I will spare you once, and tell me where you are now, don't leave, I have to go through the whole thing for my brother The capital is looking for you!"

Yucun laughed when he heard the words, and said: "My brother lives in a small courtyard next to the Gongyuan. After leaving the gate of the Gongyuan, go west, pass two alleys, and the first one from the left is the one. I will invite brother to meet him some other day. Recognize the door."

The three of them were talking, when a few gongs rang downstairs and the sound of the erhu came in, it was the beginning of the play, and the four of them silently fell silent, only to see a Tsing Yi dressed as a noble concubine slowly coming out from behind the scenes, holding a folding fan, Covering his face, he opened his mouth and sang:

"The ice wheel on the island is turning, and I see the jade rabbit—the jade rabbit is rising again. The ice wheel is away from the island, and the universe is very clear..."

It was a concubine who was drunk, and then looked at the Tsing Yi, her voice was clear and clear, the melody was mellow and affectionate, and she was thin and thin, not as plump as Tang Minghuang's Concubine Yang, but she was equally graceful and luxurious.

After the Yizhe opera was sung, all four of them praised it endlessly.Because the table where the four of them sat was close to the stage, the appearance of the Tsing Yi could be seen clearly, Wang Yi pointed to the Tsing Yi who bowed his knees and said: "Heng Chen, Wei Shan, this Tsing Yi looks like a Jia Yucun, look at it Yes and no!"

The two looked at Wang Yi's fingers, and it was not that they were seven or eight points similar to Yu Village, but that Yu Village was a little less noble and dusty in a trance, and there was a little bit of dust between the brows.

Zhang Tingyu, Shen Jinsi felt that they were a bit similar, but he didn't express his approval. Yucun had a great reputation, so he couldn't tell how he could be compared with that actor. Be more straightforward; Zhang Tingyu and Yucun are confidants to each other, even if Yucun is regarded as a real brother, it is not an exaggeration. Now that Wang Yi is making fun of Yucun as an actor, he is suddenly annoyed, and immediately shouts:

"Wang Yi! Yucun is a dignified man, how can it be compared to that actor!"

When Yucun heard that Wang Yi compared him to that actor, he was also secretly annoyed. When he read "The Story of the Stone" and saw Daiyu angry because Xiangyun said that Xiaodan was like her, he just thought the story passed by in a flash. , when this thing happened to him, he realized that Daiyu didn't get angry on the spot.

After hearing Zhang Tingyu's reprimand, Wang Yi didn't feel annoyed. He just got up from his chair, cupped his hands and bowed to Yucun and said, "Don't be annoyed, brother Yucun, it's my brother Meng Lang!"

Seeing Wang Yi bowing to apologize, Yucun didn't get up, just sat on the chair and lowered his eyelids, and said sarcastically: "The moon is serious, but I don't know how many jade rabbits are raised on the moon!"

Zhang Tingyu laughed when he heard the words, almost spit out the tea in his mouth, and said with a smile: "There is only one jade rabbit in Yulun's house, except for the jade rabbit, there is also a 'double cabbage', and I have to be careful all day long." Don't let the jade rabbit steal the cabbage!"

After hearing this, Yucun looked at Zhang Tingyu with some doubts.But before Zhang Tingyu could clear up his doubts, he heard Wang Yi explain himself: "I raised two actors at home, singing, reciting and fighting. They are both top-notch. People jokingly call them 'double cabbage'!"

When Yucun heard the words, all the traces of anger in his heart disappeared, and he smiled, thinking that Wang Yi really has a real temperament!

Seeing Yucun's beautiful face, Wang Yi felt like the jade version of the white peony was just blooming in the spring, elegant and elegant, and stared at Yucun in a daze, then shook his head for a long time and said: "It's my brother's mistake, that Tsing Yi How can it be as good as Yucun in case, it's just a skinny portrait!"

No.15 times

In a blink of an eye, it was February 27, the day when the test results were released, and before five o'clock (three to five o'clock, it's four o'clock here), Yucun was no longer sleepy, lying on the bed restlessly, tossing and turning Pancakes, simply get up, just read a book.Afraid of waking up the servants in the wing, Yucun opened the door lightly.

As soon as he went out, he sighed that he didn't have to be so careful anymore. It turned out that the servants in this yard started earlier than Yucun. Xi Shun'er was directing the servants to clean the yard at the moment, seeing that the bluestone slabs in the yard were not stained with dust It looks like it must have been up for a long time.

Seeing Yucun going out, Xi Shun'er hastily stepped forward and said, "Young master, why do you wake up so early?"

Yucun lightly ordered a servant next to him to fetch water for washing, and then said to Xi Shun'er, "Why do you wake up so early and torment everyone?"

Xi Shun'er was aggrieved when she heard this, and said: "It's not that the slaves got up so early and tossed about, everyone couldn't fall asleep. Isn't this the announcement of the rankings today? I'm so nervous for you, my lord! Clean up the yard to welcome the reporter. !"

Yucun heard the words and said with a smile: "Perhaps you are nervous, so don't you allow me to be nervous, my lord?"

After finishing speaking, he took the copper basin handed over by the boy, put it on the shelf, and wiped his face with a wet towel. It was still a bit chilly in the early morning of February, but the well water was warm and mild.

Because the small courtyard house in Yucun is close to the Gongyuan, Xi Shun'er opened the door early in the morning, and when the cook brought out the breakfast, the sound of carriages outside the door and the sound of pedestrians talking began to be noisy, Xi Shun'er went out to visit the courtyard. After poking his head, he came back and said that several circles of people had surrounded the Gong Yuan.

Breakfast is white rice porridge, tea eggs and shredded carrots pickled in the Chentan pickle jar, which is a simple appetizer.Picking up the crispy shredded pickles with chopsticks, Yucun shook his head at Xi Shun'er who ran in and out, adhering to the principle of not talking when eating or sleeping, and focusing on eating.

After running back and forth ten times, Xi Shun'er simply squeezed to the gate of the Gong Yuan and waited not to come back.After breakfast, Yucun went back to his room to read the books. All he saw were familiar words, but Yucun knew each word, but Yucun didn't know that word.After reading it for a while, he didn't know a single word, so he put the book aside, and Yucun studied the ink himself, and followed the book's letter by letter like a line drawing, slowly drawing a piece of four feet by three The rice paper was covered with small script.

In the afternoon, when Yucun's "The Analects of Confucius" was almost finished, a boy in green clothes turned into the alley and stuffed a small note into the hand of the porter Zhang, saying that it was sent to Mr. Jia by Prince Yong.

Jia Yucun took it from Lao Zhangtou and unfolded it, and smiled knowingly, what do you think is written on it?But it is a line of small characters "No. 2 Gongshi will be tested".

Prince Shui Zhan, the news can’t be wrong, Yucun’s heart suddenly fell to the ground, and he wanted to send the old man to call Xi Shun’er back, but after thinking about it, Dao Xi Shun’er had a hard time. Squeeze in, let him stay a little longer in front of the Gongyuan gate!

In the evening, if a reporter came to announce the good news by playing gongs and drums, everyone in the house was beaming with joy.

00000000000000

The next day, Zhang Tingyu, Wang Yi, and Shen Jinsi sent people to spread the word, and the words were all on the list.And because the palace examination was a few days later, the big furniture was prepared at home and did not come out to make friends.

On the eighth day of March, it was the palace examination period, and Yinshi had not yet passed, so Yucun and a group of candidates stood at the gate of Donghua and waited for the roll call.At that time, the sky was not yet bright, it was day and night, and when the sky was dark and dark, the road leading to the Palace of Preserving Harmony was illuminated by a row of lanterns in front of the palace gate, which was just like the future of this group of people.Candidates will not be dismissed from the palace examination. It can be said that the hundreds of tribute students standing at the gate of Donghua will all enter the court in the future. As an official, it can be said that "he is a farmer in the morning, and he is in the Tianzitang in the evening", just waiting for this one.

Looking at the tall palace gate in front of him, Yucun only felt inexplicably excited in his heart. This is the beginning of his dream!

Entering at Maoshi, the bell rang, the palace gate opened slowly, and officials from the Ministry of Rites sang
