Xiangye

Chapter 123
Seeing Gao Wen's sad expression, a scholar who had known him for a long time came to see him, and asked curiously, "Why are you crying, but this time the college exam is not satisfactory?"

Another person continued: "That's right, this time the courtyard examination, not to mention policy theory and test post poems. As far as the three essays are concerned, as long as the foundation is solid, it is not difficult."

Gao Wen was ashamed to say that he had been hungry for two days and two nights inside, and couldn't hold on any longer.Stretching out his hand to wipe his eyes, he pretended to be sad and said, "Yeah, it's quite simple. But because it's too simple, especially the last stereotyped essay "The Destiny of Sex", it might happen that a ghost comes out. to the subject."

"No, this question is so simple, what the hell can happen?"

After the examinees handed in their test papers, they came out one after another. In a short while, the small square outside the Gong Yuan was already crowded with people.All living beings are not in a hurry to leave, but gather together to review gains and losses.Those who felt that they did well were full of spirits and let out a long laugh from time to time, and some even recited the essays they had just made in public; those who felt that they failed the exam were either silent or sighed.

This scene is so familiar, in a trance, Gao Wen has returned to his high school days.Isn't it the same scene every time the exam is over?
When Gao Wen heard someone ask this question, he deliberately sighed: "Yes, it's just because it's too simple, so it's not easy to write. As far as this "The Mandate of Heaven" is concerned, is there any other anthology in the market? There is no model essay on the same topic. We have been studying for many years, and we don’t know how many model essays we have read. You and I are the same, and so are others. Just because we have read so many model essays, when we write, we will inevitably subconsciously follow other people’s ideas. Everyone If it is written like this, it is hard to guarantee that everyone will be the same. The examiner sees that this paper is written like this, and that paper is also written like this, and it is hard to guarantee that he will feel bored, and if he is not good, he will brush down your paper. On the other hand, I hope that the examiner will ask some out-of-the-way questions, so that as long as you get one question right beforehand, you will pass the undergraduate course. I think my dear friends must have answered the questions beforehand, and they must have missed one.”

"That's right, it's bad, it's bad." A Confucian scholar's complexion changed drastically: "When I was answering the question just now, I happened to write an essay following the idea of ​​a model essay written by Xie Yuan in Xi'an Prefecture last year. That article with the same title is very famous. , I am afraid that all the gentlemen here have read it, and they are doing the same thing as me."

"It's bitter!" Suddenly, another person shed tears: "Brother Yang, I also wrote according to that model essay. If I knew it, I wrote it myself. This time, the college test is over, and it's completely over!"

For a moment, everyone was sad, as if mourning a concubine.

Gao Wen was delighted when he saw it. If he hadn't guessed wrong, the last essays written by these people were all the same. As long as the examiners were not stupid, they would know what was going on.

Hey, another group of competitors is missing... Amitabha, a gentleman can't gloat... But, we ordinary people, we are really happy today.

On the surface, Gao Wen still comforted them a few words.

After talking for a long time, everyone's mood improved.Just say that after staying in the examination room for two days, and eating a few cold pastries, the bird has already faded out of his mouth, so it is better to go to a restaurant to relax and have a drink.

Gao Wen is now involved in a bloody case, and the big eagle and the little eagle are probably going crazy looking for him in the past few days, so naturally they don't want to show up in public again.But I was so hungry that I had no resistance to food at all, so I thought about it.Gritting his teeth: Straight mother thief, eat a full meal first.As for the rest, never mind!
Touching the slingshot and the bag of iron balls on his waist, Gao Wen snorted: Those two eagle-clawed Sun dare to come to trouble me again, so Jin Gong Tiewan's men are ruthless.

This night, all the restaurants in the city also knew that it was the day when the court officials finished their exams, and prepared fresh dishes early on.For a while, every house was full.Scholars recite poems and compose poems, turning Pingliang into a city that never sleeps.

Gawain was so satisfied that he dozed off after eating and drinking.

After the meal, some scholars invited them to go to the brothel to sleep with flowers.Gao Wen had always been insensitive to this kind of romance, so he politely declined.

Although the college examination has ended, it will take three days to wait until the list is published.During these three days, I didn't have a reputation to protect myself. Once I was caught by the big eagle and the little eagle, all the previous efforts would be in vain.Moreover, those two people were able to find me, Gao Wen, which means that they have already found out all the details about me.

I don't know how Youyi is doing now?

Thinking of Shi Youyi, Gao Wen's heart skipped a beat.That's right, on the night before the exam, I went out and never came back, so I didn't know what she would be worried about.This little girl is timid, her eyes are probably swollen from crying.

No, I have to go home immediately and report to her that she is safe.

Gao Wen immediately stood up and walked down the restaurant.But I couldn't walk a few steps, but my pace slowed down.

Yes, since Big Eagle and Little Eagle have already found out the residence of my Gao, and I escaped two days ago, it is hard to guarantee that they will not hide in my house, and give me a wait...that rabbit.Bah, I'm not a rabbit!

When I go, isn't it home delivery?

For a moment, Gao Wen hesitated.

After thinking about it for a long time, he felt that he still had to go home, and he couldn't feel at ease if he didn't take a look at it himself.Of course, be careful.

After thinking about it, Gao Wen made up his mind and quickly walked to where his home was.He didn't go straight in the door recklessly, but hid in the distance and observed carefully.

Sure enough, after standing in the dark for a long time, it seemed that something was wrong.But he saw that there was something wrong with a wall in the alley in front of his house.

It turned out that the place was a fence, and a widower surnamed Liu lived on the other side of the wall.Liu's house originally had a small door on the wall that could allow one person to pass through.

The courtyard where Gao Wen lived had a strange terrain, being at the end of a dead end alley.This place is very remote, not facing the street, and it takes a long time to go out.

Because of this, Lao Liu used the open space behind the door to stack firewood and sealed the door.

It was early summer at this time, and after several rains, a lot of moss grew in front of the door, and the green land looked very good.

But now, after observing for a long time, Gao Wen suddenly found that the moss had been shoveled at some time, and the ground was very clean.

Could it be that this door has been opened, is it the big eagle, the little eagle did it?
Hehe, these two people's moves are quite big!I must have already lived in Liu's house, and sent people to watch behind the door day and night. If I rushed home rashly, the enemy might come to kill me in the next moment.

This is what makes Gao Wen angry because he has no home to return to.In the midst of his agitation, his heart suddenly moved: By the way, since Youyi was born in a scholarly family, she must be literate. If I write a letter to a trustee and bring it to her, she will understand immediately.It's just that this matter needs to be kept secret, and the letter cannot fall into the hands of Ti Xingsi.

Thinking of this, Gao Wen made a big circle and arrived at the door of Aunt Wang's house.Since Shi Youyi came to Pingliang and lived in Pingliang for a while, she got along very well with her, and the relationship between the two families is not bad.

As soon as he got to Aunt Wang's door, Gao Wen stopped, put his hand on the door knocker, and was about to stop taking pictures.

At this moment, the door opened, revealing Aunt Wang's face.

The two suddenly met each other and were stunned at the same time.

Just as Gao Wen was about to speak, Aunt Wang suddenly lowered her voice, "Young Mr. Gao, you've come back, come in quickly, come in quickly, don't attract other people's attention."

After all, he was pulled in.

Gao Wen was moved for a while, and was about to thank him.Aunt Wang said angrily: "Young Mr. Gao, it's terrible, something big happened."

Gawain nodded sullenly.

Aunt Wang gritted her teeth: "These bastards are so nasty, Mr. Gao Xiaoguan knows everything, so don't worry, it's nothing serious."

Gao Wen: "Aunt Wang, do you know all about it?" It seems that everyone already knows that Big Eagle and Little Eagle came to Pingliang to arrest him.

Hearing Gao Wen's rhetorical question, Aunt Wang was filled with a sense of justice, and said, "Young Mr. Gao, don't say anything. Although the old man usually does not leave the gate, he still knows some things in this world. You are young. Youwei, Miss Shi is also young and beautiful, she can be seen from a rich family. You two stand together, that is a talented man and a woman, a match made in heaven. Seeing the two of you together, the old lady suddenly thought of herself When I was young, when my dead man was still alive, he was really enviable."

Thinking of the man she had passed away many years ago, Aunt Wang's eyes turned red and she couldn't help wiping her eyes.Said: "This person, no matter whether they are poor or rich, as long as two close people can be together and love each other, even if they are eating chaff and swallowing vegetables, then life will be good. But some people are born to look down on others. Have a good life, come to break up this pair of fateful mandarin ducks, is this still human? Mr. Gao, don't worry, just tell me if you have anything to do, no matter how difficult it is, I will help you."

After talking about it, she became indignant.

"Ah... this matter, this matter... Aunt Wang, where did you go, why can't I understand?" Gao Wen felt that the meaning of her words was wrong.

Aunt Wang lowered her voice: "Mr. Gao, it can be seen that you and your wife are not a serious couple. They must have eloped, right?"

"Elope?" Gao Wen was dumbfounded.

Aunt Wang stomped her feet and said anxiously: "Mr. Gao, what time is this? Others are coming to kill you. If you still don't tell the truth, how can you ask me to help you? Aunt Wang is also someone who has been here, don't think I can't see it. You and Miss Shi are husband and wife in name, but you don’t live in the same room on weekdays. I have been to your house before, and I can see it clearly. Also, Miss Shi looks so affectionate when you look at you. A little girl. Mr. Gao, you are a very nice person. Before you formally marry someone, you can hold on to the big festival. You are a real man. Also, you suddenly went out for a few days, and you didn’t say you went. Where? And on the second day after you left home, a group of inexplicable people came to your door and talked for a while, and Miss Shi burst into tears, and drove them out of the house with a broom Go. Annoyed those people didn’t leave, instead they rented the house of old man Liu next door and stayed there. They stared at the door of your house every day. As long as someone came to the door, these bastards would follow in. Sitting on the side listening, I must be waiting for you to come back, so I can reason."

"Old man Liu, you also know that he is a foolish person without children. He is happy in his heart when he gets money. If he doesn't know how to run away, he will go to the gambling house to play money. He will not come back until he loses everything. Mr. Gao , what is the relationship between our two families, don't hide it, who are those people, are they from you and Miss Shi's hometown, and who are they?"

Seeing Aunt Wang's brilliant and mysterious face, Gao Wen suddenly understood, and sighed secretly in his heart: This eighth woman, how can she be so enthusiastic about this kind of male and female affairs, and try her best to tell stories and gossip.Presumably life is boring, looking for trouble for nothing.

Hearing she said that Shi Youyi was crying so much, her heart ached again: "How have you been these two days?"

Aunt Wang: "It's been a day and a night without tea and food. I really can't see it. I cooked some millet porridge today and persuaded her for a long time before I ate something."

Gao Wen cupped his hands: "Thank you, Aunt Wang, Gao Wen will keep this affection in mind. As for the identities of those people, it is a long story. Gao Wen is not able to go home these two days, and if there is something to ask, he will be sure in the future. Thanks a lot."

Aunt Wang said: "Mr. Gao, just talk."
