Wearing the cannon fodder little koi in the imperial examination essay

Chapter 293

Time flies, and a year slips by in a hurry.

The Xianggong is also called the Xiangxi Examination, and the middle school is selected. Due to geographical problems, the style of writing is strong in the south and weak in the north. Jinling, a student from the South, went to take the exam.

Wuzhong County is more than [-] miles away from Jinling, so Yu Su and the others naturally had to set off early.

Originally, the elder brother Yu Baozong, who had agreed to not accompany them to Jinling after the hospital examination, was really worried about his sister and son-in-law because of the long distance and the long distance. Yuezhou's mansion was over, and it was because of Yu Su's entanglement that Yu Baozong had to give up his plan to accompany him, and watched his sister and sister-in-law cooperate with Wang Shuisheng resentfully.Song Xiahe and the four of them boarded the three-story building and headed east along the river.

Yes, four people.

As for why Song Xiahe was brought along?
Hey! That's not because the young couple saw that the younger sister had someone in her heart. In order to create opportunities for her, Song Xinglin reluctantly nodded and agreed to bring Song Xiahe with her under Yusu's hard work. In fact, In his heart, he had the idea of ​​letting his sister accompany his little wife.

After all, Jinling City is not familiar with the place of birth, and Yuyu of his family is in the elves. When the time comes, their senior brothers will enter the Gongyuan to take the exam, and they will let her out, but they will not let her go! Bring the second sister, and Yuyu of his family will also have someone to do it. As a companion, I won't always worry about my little guest being bullied and worried about me outside, so I can take the exam with peace of mind. This can be regarded as killing two birds with one stone.

As for the yard and business at home?
Now that he was a scholar, Song Xinglin knew from looking at the old man's appearance that this group of people would not make any troubles for him. Even if they wanted to make trouble, as long as the old man lived, he would still be safe.

Thinking that I went to Jinling to take the exam this time, if I pass, I will definitely continue to take the exam.

And Jinling is so far away from home, he will not go back to his hometown for nothing, but will go all the way north to go to the test. For this reason, the couple shrunk the money in the house, including the nine boxes of gold hidden deep in the house. Bring it with you, and be prepared for everything to happen or not.

No matter how much I can't take care of that family's business, I might as well leave it to my family and support my honest third uncle.

Presumably with such an income, the old man wants to turn himself more and more to persuade the whole family;
And the rule share that I personally set can also improve the status of the third uncle who took over the business and the courtyard;

As for the irritable scumbag father? Song Xinglin didn't even look at it, and handed it over to the old man for management;
As for the small courtyard in the county, he brought all the deeds with him, and only said to the outside world that it was rented, and the rent was asked by the elder brother to ask the third uncle regularly, after all, this is the dowry of his own family Yuyu!
After everything was arranged properly, the four of them boarded a boat by the side of Dongting and sailed to Jinling City along the Yangtze River all the way eastward after leaving Dongting.

Yu Su and his wife were not short of money. Even though the gold pancakes that grandpa gave her were used as a bride price for her eldest brother, she still carried one box of gold out of the ten boxes, and then took the trouble to rebuild a box of gold with her younger brother. After being smelted, it was forced to be used as a private house by the elder brother who refused to accept it. The couple still have nine boxes left. Even if they don't move the gold, the baked cake business earned in the past few years is enough for them to go back and forth.

Yu Su originally wanted to book the two upper-class cabins on the building, after all, it is the only upper level of the building, with a good view and good air.

As a result, Wang Shuisheng is an honest man, even if a country gentry comes to vote for him after being selected as a scholar, he is not willing to waste money living in the upper class because he is poor, saying that he can live anywhere, and insists on paying for the cheapest lower class. First class, refused to accept their good intentions of donating a house, but Song Xiahe was in a hurry, almost had to dig out his own house, or Song Xinglin, a man who understands men, interrupted his sister's concern and made chaos.

There was no other way, after Song Xinglin discussed with Yu Su, the couple took a step back to discuss with Wang Shuisheng.

Wang Shuisheng saw the earnest persuasion of the younger brother and his wife, saying that the journey is long and there will be exams later, and the health is the most important thing, and it must not be overwhelmed. Wang Shuisheng also knew that the other party was doing it for his own good, so he took a step back and agreed to live in a middle school. cabin.

So, Yu Su asked for a middle-class cabin next to Senior Brother Wang, and thoughtfully used the excuse that he wanted to sleep with his second sister, and pushed the young man to live with Senior Brother Wang, and took Wang Shuisheng under this pretentious excuse. The food along the way, only then did the second sister get a big rock in her heart, which made Yu Su always laugh at her as a girl, but it made the second sister ashamed for a long time.

The middle cabin is located on the first floor above the deck. Fortunately, it is better than the bilge below the deck. Anyway, it is above the water. Except that the room is a little cramped, the doors and windows are a little smaller, and the first floor deck is noisy with people coming and going. point, everything else is pretty good.

Building boats are all made of wood, and fire is not allowed in normal warehouses, and even if you want to fire, buying ingredients along the way is also a problem. If you don’t reach a big city port, the building boat will not dock.

However, Yu Su had expected that they would bring a five-gengar chicken with them, and he was afraid that his family would not be acclimatized. With his golden fingers, Yu Su packed a lot of things abruptly, and even dug a box of soil from his hometown to shrink it down. , let alone those convenience foods.

Yu Su, who was well prepared before departure, even made enough dry food for four people for two or three months in one go, just in case of accidents, five super big boxes, one for cover, four smaller for carry-on, that was the fifth watch The tung oil used for the chicken, I have also prepared several large jars, and put them away properly.

The unchanging seafood on the boat, the first two days on the boat, the four of them ate well, after all, it was fresh, freshly caught and cooked, the taste was good.

But as the boat moved forward, after a few days, Yu Su couldn't stand it anymore. She is a delicious person, no matter how delicious she is, she can't bear to eat like this repeatedly. She still has a picky mouth.

Unable to bear it, Yu Su had a ghost idea first, Song Xinglin and Wang Shuisheng were reading books in the next room to pass the time, Yu Su took his second younger sister and carefully lit the five-geng chicken in his cabin, cooking various kinds of chickens for himself. Treat yourself with delicious food.

If so, when they arrived at Jiangcheng Dagang and the boat docked at the same time, the four of Yusu would all have something to eat.

As a mountain dweller in the Southwest, although they did not seldom travel in boats in the middle of the river, but they were still traveling along the Yangtze River in such big boats, and they were not allowed to sit freely for such a long time. No matter how accustomed they were to drifting, I can't stand it anymore.

After waking up early in the morning, I asked the boatman and learned that the big ship would stop here for a day of replenishment, and set off early the next morning, so the four of them discussed together and decided to go to Jiangcheng for a stroll, eat something good, buy some local products, and add supplies What, after all, they will continue to float on the river for a long time.

The restaurant in Linjiang ate local specialties, such as Wuchang fish, eight-treasure rice, stewed pork ribs and stewed lotus root soup, etc. The four of Yu and Su had enough food addiction, and the four of them wiped the oil from their mouths before entering the city together.

Because senior brother Wang wanted to go to Jiangcheng to visit Wenfeng Street, and buy some ink and other things by the way, but what Yu Su wanted to visit most was to check out the food in the streets and alleys. It was agreed that Shen Shimo's appearance would meet at the Linjiang Tower where they had dinner before, and then they would go to Linjiang Road to have a meal, and then board the boat and set off together.

Because Song Xinglin, a wife-doting guy, values ​​sex over friends, he must act with Yu Su, and his own sister is so thoughtful, Song Xinglin rolled his eyes, and when Wang Shuisheng left, he simply stuffed it. Song Xiahe, the silver ingot, pushed the little girl towards Wang Shuisheng decisively.

"Senior brother Wang, time is running out, and Yuyu and I have something to do, so we have to go and buy supplies for the next journey. For the pens, ink, papers and inkstones that Brother Yu lacks, I will trouble you to take my second sister with you. I will also invite Senior Brother Wang." Take care to remind my second sister, don't let her be cheated and buy the wrong one."

What else could Wang Shuisheng do after hearing the words?
Looking at Song Xiahe, who was holding an ingot of silver by his side, looking at him eagerly, and seeing the bachelor's throwing away the pot, and the resolute Mr. and Mrs. Song's husband and wife who left without waiting for his answer after speaking, Wang Shuisheng had no choice but to accept his fate, and called Song Xiahe beside him to collect the money. , the guardian went to Wenfeng Street.

When the two of them were far away, Song Xinglin, who stopped all the way to observe secretly, turned around with a smile and offered courtesies to Yu Su who was pulling tightly.

"Hahaha, okay, okay, finally dismissed the light bulb, Yuyu, where shall we go shopping next?"

Yu Subai took a look at this guy who is not good at learning poetry, but imitating himself in verbal and eccentric thinking, but she is not sure that this guy is doing it on purpose.

However, thinking of the news that he had heard from the waiter at the store during the meal, Yu Su immediately pointed in a certain direction, "I heard from the waiter at the shop earlier that Hanzheng Street is the most lively place here, little brother, why don't we go there for a stroll? By the way, buy some specialties Yes." Anyway, I can pretend.

Song Xinglin nodded noncommittally, "Alright, let's go to Hanzheng Street."

When he arrived at Hanzheng Street, Yu Su found that the bustle here was no worse than that of Furong Street in Yuezhou Prefecture.

As a subject No. [-] who was born and grew up in a laboratory, and was used by the hateful doctor to test the magnifier, she had never seen the blue sky outside in her previous life. He has also been imprisoned in that small county.

If it weren't for the unexpected changes at home, and later followed the little Xianggong all the way to the imperial examination, she wouldn't even be able to go to Wuzhong, and she wouldn't be able to reach Yuezhou Prefecture, let alone go outside the boundaries of the state capital to measure the world.

Although Yu Su is not like a little bumpkin, he is curious about everything he sees and wants everything he sees.

"Hey, little brother, this thing looks delicious, why don't we buy it and try it?"

Song Xinglin saw his guest's greedy appearance, so he readily agreed, and quickly paid for it, "Okay, just try it."

"Wow, little brother, you are healthy, you are healthy, this lotus root powder feels different from ours, it is so delicate, why don't we buy some?"

Song Xinglin still doted on his wife too much, and continued to spend money quickly, "Okay, buy some."

"Little brother, this..."

Song Xinglin: Buy it!
"Little brother..."

Song Xinglin: Take the money!
For a while, in the bustling market of Hanzheng Street, there would be such a crisp call from time to time, and the person who answered was obviously dressed as a student and scholar, and his bearing was also good.

As a result, his hands and body were covered with bags, but his face was smiling, his eyes were affectionate, and he was gently watching the person who was running around in the street and kept calling, and he didn't look annoyed at all.

This scene is amazing!
Not only did the street vendors look at it, and they smiled knowingly from time to time, but even the passers-by stopped to watch. Among them, a group of people who were also dressed as scholars couldn't help but have different thoughts when they saw it.

Some people disliked Song Xing and Lin Siwen's disdain, and naturally some people felt that the young couple was deeply in love and secretly blessed them. Of course, most of them stood aside and pointed and joked secretly, just like the two right now.

"Hey, Brother Tan, look, that scholar over there, at such a young age, is actually very bright and bright. In broad daylight, he was laughing and flirting with a little lady, and was even ordered to go around, tsk tsk tsk... It's really an eyesore, spicy It's very degrading to your eyes!"

Tan De, who also made an appointment with his partner and managed to get together the money to leave for the exam ahead of time, hurriedly looked towards Song Xinglin after hearing what his companion said.

When he saw that the person his companion accused turned out to be his acquaintance, Tan De was stunned for a moment, and his eyes darkened involuntarily.

what happened?Could it be that Brother Song also set off early to participate in the tribute, and brought... well, the little lady should be his wife, right?

If it wasn't for his wife, he would not have dared to flirt with the little lady in such broad daylight.

(Song Xinglin: I'm flirting with you bastard! Is he flirting? He's shopping with his wife, okay?)
"Brother Tan, Brother Tan?"

"Ah, ah?", looking at Tan De, a husband and wife who was in a trance with their backs to themselves, still buying along the way, was distracted by the repeated shouts of their companions, and hurriedly responded twice.

"Brother Tan, what were you thinking just now, why are you so preoccupied?"

Tan De hurriedly shook his head and smiled casually: "Oh, it's nothing. Tan was thinking about what Brother Zhang said just now, and he also felt that the scholar was insulting."

"That's right, what Zhang said is right?"

"Yes, yes, brother Zhang is a man of integrity, of course he is right." Even if there is a mistake, it is the fault of others. After all, whoever made him a poor man has to rely on the guy beside him whom he can hardly climb to give himself How about the fare for the journey!
Because of this, he had to follow this guy along the way, flattering him, fearing that one of them would be bad, and this guy would change his mind and leave him alone. The cost of the tribute.

He still planned to follow this guy after he arrived in Jinling, fooling him into paying his own rent too!
So even at the moment, this guy enjoys living in the upper class on the upstairs ship, but listened to the instigation of the servants and ordered himself the lowest class cabin on the bottom of the bilge, he still patiently continued to curry favor with this guy , with the same spirit as the second generation ancestor of this wine bag and rice bag.
