Wearing the cannon fodder little koi in the imperial examination essay

Chapter 294

Tan De made a choice instantly in his heart, looking back at Zhang Xiucai beside him, his eyes were full of sincere approval, and he actively responded and echoed, which, as expected, brought joy to the people around him.

Seeing the complacent looks of the people around him shaking their fans, Tan De secretly spat and cursed inwardly.

"Bah, relying on the wealth of the family, relying on spending a lot of money to clear up the relationship, and recruiting previous students to press the test questions, I barely passed the exam, but my ranking was worse than myself. The guy who fell at the bottom of the list, if it weren't for you It is still useful for the time being, your master is willing to please you, bah!"

But thinking of Song Xinglin...

As the saying goes, many friends have many paths, even if this Song Xinglin is not as useful to him as the idiot beside him, if he makes more favors right now, he may use them at some point in the future, right?

Looking at the back of Song Xinglin gradually going away with his little wife, Tan De squinted his eyes, and instantly had an idea in his mind.

But I just don't know how this brother Song rushed to the exam, did he take the land route? Or did he take the water route like himself?Or is it that he is more fortunate, and came here on the same boat as him?
After all, what a coincidence!
Their boat docked, and this person also happened to appear in Jiangcheng. Thinking of their hometown and the place the boat passed, Tan De's eyes became brighter and brighter...

No, he had to be careful when he went back to see if Brother Song was on the same boat as him. If it was the same boat, then it was God's will, it was the chance God gave him to make friends!

Then look at Brother Song with only a young wife, no elders, no servants, and she looks very generous, so for the fellow countrymen who are away from home... Heh!

"Second Sister-in-law, the fish we ate earlier was very good. We'll be fishing on the boat when we turn back. Let's go to Chuanniang's and buy two to eat. I think Second Brother and Big Brother Wang both like it."

The aunt and sister-in-law walking in front of Song Xinglin and Wang Shuisheng held hands and whispered to each other as they walked.

When Yu Su heard the second sister say this, she sneered and looked at the second sister jokingly, "Second sister, I think it's fake if your second brother likes it, and it's true that your brother Wang likes it?", at noon and night , Brother Wang's chopsticks are often caught in the plate of Wuchang fish.

"Second sister-in-law!", being teased by her sister-in-law, Song Xiahe suddenly blushed, stomped her feet in embarrassment, but subconsciously turned her head and looked behind her, as if she was afraid that the people behind her who were twenty steps behind listened , Song Xiahe didn't dare to speak loudly anymore, and hurriedly returned to his low voice just now, and leaned over to whisper to the second sister-in-law, "Second sister-in-law, please stop making trouble, people say it's serious!"

Yu Su shrugged.

The two brothers and sisters who followed behind with large and small bags watched the two sisters-in-law and sister-in-law in front of them frolicking together. Song Xinglin looked doting, and Wang Shuisheng also smiled without saying a word. .

As for that silly girl... With his family background, he dared not say anything or make promises until he was successful in scientific examinations, for fear of hurting a good girl and delaying her.

Thinking of this, Wang Shuisheng, whose eyes were shining brightly, quickly restrained his emotions, and his heart wound up again, "Junior brother, it's still early, we'll go back to the room later, let's read it again at night, just in time, I have a question to think about." It doesn't make sense, why don't we discuss one or two?"

Song Xinglin knew that he was not as solid as Wang Shuisheng, so he nodded noncommittally and readily agreed.

A group of four boarded the ship one after the other, but they didn't notice that when they stepped on the deck, turned the corner, and entered the aisle in the cabin, a person who had been waiting for a long time walked out of the shadow of the port under the upper ship.

Tan De watched them board the boat and leave, followed him carefully, and watched Yu Su and his party enter the two adjacent middle cabins on the first floor of the deck. Tan De, who was following him, stood in the shadows with a happy expression on his face. , looked up at a certain upper-class cabin above his head, and made a decision in his heart.

In the mid-cabin, because the discussion between Wang Shuisheng and Song Xinglin got stuck on the point, the two held their own opinions and refused to give in. The discussion was endless. In order to prove that his answer was correct, Song Xinglin simply went back to the next door and pulled Guo Su quietly muttered.

The winking Song Xiahe immediately got up and wanted to leave, using the excuse that he was looking for the boat lady to buy something for the two of them who were about to light up the lamp to read at night, and hurried away like buying food for supper, Yu Su hurriedly zoomed in on the bag he was carrying Treasure chest, dig out a small box from inside, enlarge it and hand it to Song Xinglin.

These are all treasures, those that Mr. Wang once gave to Song Xinglin, the complete set of books used by Mr. Wang for scientific research, and the husband and wife did not leave any of them on this trip.

For all the scholars who want to take the imperial examination, this thing is a good thing that is priceless, more precious than gold, this is the reading experience of the Jinshi master, the road to success.

In order to verify the answers discussed with Senior Brother Wang, Song Xinglin didn't pick any one, instead he took all the small boxes and went directly to the next door, as if he wanted to debate with Senior Brother Wang to verify the result.

Yu Su sent away the young gentleman who had already gone up, and was bound to die tonight. He was afraid that they would spend too much time studying, and thinking that the second sister also loved her brother Wang, he went to the boat lady to buy supper for the meeting. , I also feel sorry for my little husband, so naturally I can't show weakness.

When the younger sister came back, the sister-in-law and the sister-in-law set up a dojo in their own cabins, preparing to cook some delicious but filling food to send to the next door.

At night, there is a gentle breeze on the river surface, and the river is flowing slowly. The building boats are docked in the harbor. Except for the bilge, under the light of the torches, most of the people on the boat have rested, and the boat is quiet. Yes, there are only a few who haven't slept yet.

Just like Yu Su and the others, the oil lamp in the cabin was always on;

Like someone who has made up his mind a long time ago and watched everything according to;
Seeing that the lights in their cabins were always on, and convinced that the idiot in the upper cabin he had picked up had already rested, he wandered silently from the big bunk in his own bottom cabin to the upper deck. deck.

Each other, Yu Su and his sister-in-law were setting fire to a five-gen chicken in the cabin, preparing to make some food for the kings of rolls, and after a while they sent it to the next door with the supper bought by the second sister from the boat lady.

I was busy when suddenly...

dong dong dong dong dong dong...

In the quiet corridor of the middle cabin, the sudden knock on the door suddenly interrupted the tranquility of the night, it seemed so clear and abrupt.

The cabins are not very soundproof, and the two are still close to each other. Yu Su and Song Xiahe, who were busy, paused when they heard the sound, and listened carefully to distinguish it. They found that someone knocked on the cabin door next door, and Yu Su frowned.

I thought to myself, who knocked on the door of the young man next door and the others on this big night?

Only then did Su feel puzzled, and then he heard the sound of inquiry from the young master from the door next door.

"Who? Who is knocking on the door?"

Tan De outside, since he was thinking about Song Xinglin, naturally remembered his voice.

Hearing Song Xinglin's response to the inquiry, he hurriedly straightened his clothes, cleared his throat, put out the scholar's score, and then replied softly, "Tan De in the northern suburb of Xiasanjiang, may I ask, is Song Xinglin in Tongyang Baisha in the cabin? Brother Song?"

After Wang Shuisheng in the house heard the voice outside the door, he rarely pulled his head away from his treasured book, and looked at the person in front of him who was also holding a book in his hand and looked up at the door in surprise, and said doubtfully.

"Junior Brother Song, this is?"

Song Xinglin heard that someone outside reported his family name, he quickly mobilized the information in his mind, and suddenly thought of the time when Fatty Qian hosted a banquet, when someone he was chatting with came, he raised his eyebrows and looked at Wang Shuisheng.

"Senior brother Wang, do you remember that drunk man that you and my senior brother helped out of the sheriff's mansion that day?"

Wang Shuisheng flashed, "Is that the person coming from outside?"

Song Xinglin nodded.

Wang Shuisheng was surprised again, "Since it's that person, how does he know you're here?" They didn't agree to board the boat for the exam together, how could it be?
"Brother Song? Brother Song?", bang bang bang...

Inside the cabin door, the two brothers were puzzled, but outside the cabin door, the sound of calling the door continued.

Song Xinglin glanced at the vibrating door panel, lowered his voice and approached Wang Shuisheng, and said resentfully, "Who knows, maybe he got off the boat today, so he saw us by chance?"

"That's it..." Wang Shuisheng nodded, but... "But Junior Brother Song, it's already late here, why is he here?"

Song Xinglin knew what his senior brother Wang meant, so he spread his hands helplessly, "Senior brother Wang asked me? I don't know why..."

"Brother Song, Brother Song? Is Brother Song in the cabin? Brother Song, Tan De in the northern suburb of Xiasanjiang, Brother Song..."

The senior brothers were biting their ears in the cabin, but Tan De outside became more and more frightened, frowning more and more, feeling a little angry in his heart.

Don't think that he doesn't know, but I really see it, I'm sure that the person I'm looking for is in this cabin, and the light is still burning in the cabin, and I came here before the person fell asleep.

As a result, the people inside did not open the door for a long time. What does this mean?Do you look down on Tan De and don't want to recognize him?

Thinking in this way, Tan De knocked on the door harder, and couldn't help it.

The silent two brothers and sisters had a headache, Song Xinglin also shook his head.

He thought that the passengers around him must have fallen asleep at this moment, and if he let this person knock down, he was afraid that he would provoke public anger, even if he didn't want to make friends with this person anymore, he had to open the door at this moment and make a fool of himself.

Song Xinglin simply said: "Forget it, we don't need to be confused, just go open the door and have a look to find out." As he spoke, he got up and walked towards the door, while answering the people outside, "Here we are, coming……"

The door opened with a creak, and Tan De, who was about to restrain his displeasure outside, was revealed immediately.

Song Xinglin already knew it was him, but now he pretended to be surprised.

He narrowed his eyes and looked at the person coming, and then he looked surprised and said: "Ah! Why is it Brother Tan? A rare guest, a rare guest, why is Brother Tan here? You are still on the same boat as my little brother? Brother Tan also wants to Are you going to Jinling for the exam?"

Balabala's repeated courtesies, just looking at the appearance, Song Xinglin seemed sincere and warm.

Faced with Song Xinglin's repeated inquiries, Tan De naturally wouldn't say that after he discovered them by chance, he secretly planned something, and he just responded politely with a smirk.

"Hahaha, it's fate, it's also a coincidence, today the building docked, and Tan saw that he had plenty of time, so he got off the boat and wandered around, but accidentally saw Brother Song. At that time, Brother Song was probably with his family, so it was inconvenient for Tan I stepped forward to interrupt, and said that I would come over to see Brother Song when he was free, but it turned out that I have waited until now."

"Oh oh oh, so it is like this.",
Song Xinglin responded with a smile on his lips, but his heart cursed, and he believed in his evil.

Since this guy is so caring, why did he have to wait until late at night?
But on the surface, Song Xinglin didn't show at all, and it was inconvenient to smile on his face, so he hurried out of the cabins, made a gesture of invitation, and invited people to the cabins.

"Hahaha, it's really a coincidence, but it's fate to meet each other. Since brother Tan is here, please come in quickly. It happens that my senior brother Wang is also here." Wang Shuisheng, who was greeted by Tan De in the introduction, said, "We are all from the same hometown. When we are away from home, it is fate to meet each other."

Tan De immediately nodded in agreement, "Yes, yes." He loved hearing these words very much.

Entering the room with airs on, he bowed his hands to return the salute to Wang Shuisheng, and was invited by the two of Song and Wang, and Tan De sat down happily after pretending to be courteous.

Although the middle class cabin is a bit cramped, it can still squeeze a bed and a table. The table is placed against the wall, but there are still three sides for people to sit on.

Just now Song Xinglin and Wang Shuisheng were sitting opposite each other, discussing knowledge, Tan De came in a hurry, the two didn't think much, they didn't put away the books on the table, not only the small box on the table against the wall was not covered When the cover is closed, there are two treasures presented by Lord Wang on both of them.

After exchanging pleasantries, Tan De, who was seated, has been quietly looking at the cabin in secret, making a secret assessment in his heart.

When his eyes fell on the table in front of him, he looked at the few books scattered beside the oil lamp, and then his eyes fell on the books that had been released for a closer look, and he saw the red pen ticking and the acquired experience The content, after careful reading, was so enlightening that Tan De's heart skipped a beat.

Immediately ignoring the gaffe, and regardless of the rules of not doing anything with the owner's permission, Tan De grabbed the book he was reading, pointed at the annotation on it and looked at Song Xinglin in surprise: "Brother Song, this book, What is this book?"

Are you blind?Isn't this taking off your pants and farting, talking nonsense?The things are clearly in front of his eyes and in his hands, yet he still asks the question knowingly?

What do you mean?
Hearing this, Song Xinglin folded his hands on his chest, squinted his eyes, and secretly sneered at someone.

But as a thick-skinned man, he was not afraid of Song Xinglin's cold face instantly.

You know, if he wasn't thick-skinned enough, Tan De wouldn't have come and gone like this, would he?
Tan De ignored the expressions of Song Xinglin and Wang Shuisheng, and talked to himself.

"Oh, oh, I'm sorry, I'm really sorry, it's all because Tan got emotional and lost his temper for a while, and called Brother Song, Brother Wang saw a joke, really, really, I'm so ashamed, hehehe..."
