Xiangye

Chapter 128
Xiaoying has always followed the example of his master who is strong and strong.

But since he came to Pingliang to handle Gao Wen's case, he found that he was actually a big boy, and he would blush whenever he encountered a problem.It was the same in front of Aunt Wang, it was the same in front of all the women, and it was the same in front of Shi Youyi.

The incident irritated him to the core and made him feel ashamed.

Unlike the apprentice's embarrassment, Daying took a sip of the tea with a normal face.As an old Jianghu, he would be able to tell immediately if there was any medicine in the drink, so he naturally had no fear in his heart.

After drinking a few sips of tea, Daying slowly said: "Gao Wen, you must know who we are. To tell you the truth, your house is already surrounded by my brothers who are in charge of punishment. Resistance There is no way out. Of course, I still admire your martial arts, and your slingshot is really handsome, and we suffered a lot under your hands that night."

Gao Wen smiled and said: "I dare not, I am still far behind Mr. Yun. If I have the opportunity, I would like to ask you for advice. To be honest, Mr. Yun's martial arts is really rare, and it is only better than Mr. Yun. I have seen that person is a little weaker, but it is also commendable."

Xiaoying deliberately grinned: "When you enter the prison of the Criminal Division, you will have a lot of opportunities to ask for advice. Don't talk big, in Guanzhong, if my master is second, no one dares to be the first."

Big Eagle: "Little Eagle doesn't know how many heroes in the world. It is said that there are people in the world, and there is a sky beyond the sky. Don't be arrogant." He also said: "Gao Wen, you invited my master and apprentice into the house, there must be something that needs to be explained to your wife. Let’s just say, come with us when you’re done talking. There’s still a long way to go from Pingliang to Xi’an, don’t delay.”

Hearing the words, Shi Youyi became nervous again.

Gao Wen nodded, and said to Shi Youyi, "Don't be afraid, sister, you'll be fine."

Then he said to Daying: "When I come back today, there is something I can't let go of. Since the old hero Yun gave me Gao Wen's face, I will accept this favor. When I finish the task at hand, Mr. Yun really wants to take me with me. I'll go, Gao Wen won't say anything else."

Daying: "If you have courage, just say it."

Gao Wen: "I want to write a letter to my mother so that she will not worry about me as an unfilial son."

Daying: "Filial piety is the first thing to do. It should be done. You can write it."

Gao Wen thanked him, and began to grind his ink leisurely and dissatisfied.While grinding, he said softly to Shi Youyi: "Sister, I can't say that I will go to Xi'an this time. Don't worry, I know this matter well, so you don't have to worry about it. Just don't worry about mother, you will go back to Korea tomorrow. Cheng picked up my mother and went to Xi'an. I will leave you an address where we will meet. Mother is old and her eyesight is not convenient. Don't rush all the way, lest you get tired. "

Shi Youyi nodded: "Well, I will pick up my mother tomorrow."

Xiaoying sneered: "Meeting, how can we meet again? After you arrive in Xi'an, you should live in the jailer obediently!"

Gao Wen ignored him, and continued to tell Shi Youyi: "Mr. Shi left me some silver before he left, and you take half of it away. By the way, I also wrote some manuscripts here, and you take them to Mr. Yu's bookstore. Just say , This is to give him the remaining chapters of "Journey to the West". The sharing agreement I agreed with him before is still implemented, but now I need a lot of money, so I asked him to advance one part first."

As he spoke, he opened the drawer and pointed to the dozen or so manuscripts bound inside.

Shi Youyi: "Okay."

Xiaoying continued to interject with a sneer: "Money? Your case is serious. With so many lives, no amount of money will help."

Gao Wen: "Sister, mother and you are both women's generation. Especially you, since you got sick at that time, you haven't recovered completely. Before you go to Xi'an, you might as well prescribe a few more prescriptions from Mr. Zeng, and the two of you will eat it all the way to Xi'an , take good care of it.”

Shi Youyi's eyes were red: "This concubine will serve my good mother, so don't worry about my body."

Gao Wen sighed: "How can I not worry!"

Kitty Hawk: "Gao Wen, are you still finished?"

Daying: "Little Ying, don't interrupt, Gao Wen is also filial."

Gao Wen smiled: "Okay, I'll write the letter first."

At this time, a pool of ink has been ground.He picked up the pen and wrote slowly, stroke by stroke, in a dignified pavilion style, not in a hurry.

Anyway, it was just stating the ins and outs of the case, and telling my mother not to worry, because I had already thought of a way to get rid of the crime.Not only can he return his innocence, but he can also bring the thief Huang Wei to justice, and return the people of Hancheng to a bright future.In addition, although I have moved my household registration to Zhuanglang County, it is impossible for me to go to that place by myself.Now I am in this huge vortex again, I guess I will stay in Xi'an in the future.In order to prevent the thief Huang Wei from jumping over the wall in a hurry, I also ask you to live in Xi'an first, so that my son can feel at ease.

In the letter, he did not mention the imperial examination.

Therefore, up to this moment, Gao Wen didn't know whether he won or not.

Yes, today is the day when the exam results are announced.In the imperial examination system of the Ming Dynasty, the list was posted at the gate of the Gongyuan at noon, and now it is only past eleven o'clock in the morning.

Ordinarily, Gao Wen should go over there to read the list first, to see whether he won or not.Only when he wins, can he go home to see Shi Youyi in a big way.

But after thinking about it, Gao Wen felt that it was completely unnecessary.

If he wins, it will be all good, and he also has this confidence.According to the three top-level stereotyped articles he wrote in the examination room, as long as the chief examiner is not blind or stupid, he will naturally be on the list.Otherwise, wouldn't it be a joke, and it would also make people suspect that there was something tricky and shady about this imperial examination. Cheating in the examination room is a felony of beheading, and no examiner would take the risk.

The only worry is that the writing of policy theory and test post poems is not satisfactory, and the level is not enough to crush all candidates.

However, this worry is unnecessary.To put it bluntly, the imperial examinations are all based on stereotyped essays. Generally speaking, when the examiners mark the papers, they will first review the stereotyped essays.As long as the stereotyped essay has passed, it will be directly recommended to let the main examiner decide the final ranking.As for policy theory and test post poems, no one read them. This is called empty recommendation in the imperial examination.In the final analysis, the exams of policy theory and test post poems are equivalent to additional questions, so it doesn't matter.

If you can't write stereotyped essays, even if you write the policy theory magnificently and brilliantly, you still won't hit the mark.Therefore, when the examiner marks the paper, he will read the time paper first, so as not to waste time.

Now that he was sure that he could pass and get the honor of a scholar, Gao Wen naturally wouldn't be afraid of big eagles and little eagles.Moreover, taking a ten thousand step back, if I am unlucky and my name falls to Sun Shan, I will have nowhere to go.Roaming the rivers and lakes and fleeing to the end of the world is more sad than killing him, not to mention that I still can't let go of my mother and Shi Youyi at home.

After finishing the exam, he stayed outside for three days, his allowance was exhausted, and he had nowhere to go.

Instead of this, it is better to face it bravely.

A man's behavior is right, so he should be responsible.

To be honest, after leaving Shi Youyi behind and hiding outside for the past few days, Gao Wen also felt a little ashamed, and only wanted to take some back home so that she could feel better.

Moreover, if you win the prize, a newspaper will come to your door to deliver the good news later, and you have to come forward to reward others.There is no man in the family, so when the good news comes, no one will welcome you, is it reasonable?
Generally speaking, such things as good news will not be sent until after passing the provincial examination.Especially in a place where culture and education are prosperous in the south of the Yangtze River, it is not difficult for a county to produce a dozen or so talents in each college examination.It's just that here is Pingliang Mansion in Shaanxi Province, there are few scholars, and it is not easy to become a scholar.Moreover, because the place is poor, there is not much food and money for government servants.After finally getting a chance to announce the good news, I naturally refused to let it go.Therefore, as a convention, the scholar in the college examination also sends good news.

Usually, before the announcement of the Tribute Academy has been posted, the newspaper has already arrived at the home of the Chinese-style examinee to ask for the reward.

This incident caused a headache for scholars from poor families.But you have to give it. If you don’t give it, it will break the rules of Shilin. Do you still want to go to a county school or even a government school to be a lin student and receive lin rice?Whoever is the confidant of the lord of the Gongyuan is a fat servant who can send good news. One bad word from them is enough for you to drink a pot.

When it matters most, if you break the rules, it is not because you lose your dignity as a scholar, but because you will be rejected by the intellectual circles.

Therefore, Gao Wen simply came home and waited.

As for the big eagle and the little eagle, he didn't pay attention to them, and now he only needed to hold them steady for a while.

Gawain was very tired of these two raptors. He only waited for the good news to come, but he wanted to see what kind of faces they had.

It took a long time to write this letter, and Daying got impatient.Glancing at Gao Wen again, he saw that this man was as tall as a tower, with an indescribable aura about him, in a trance, he seemed to be a well-educated scholar, his heart shuddered inexplicably, and he didn't dare to remind him.

Xiaoying was a stupefied young man. After drinking a full stomach of tea, he couldn't bear it any longer. He stood up with a huff, and stretched out his palm to press on Gao Wen's letter paper: "Why have you been writing for a long time, and you still haven't finished?"

Gao Wen suddenly picked up a pen and quickly wrote the word "中" on the back of his hand, and said with a smile: "Little Ying, you can be regarded as a generation with high martial arts skills, but you have flaws all over your body after the slap just now. First of all, your footing is unstable, The central axis of the body is crooked. You can’t grow from your feet, you can’t connect in a row, how can you fight with people. If I had intended to make a move just now, I’m afraid you would already be lying on the ground at this moment.”

These words were said by Yun Molei, and Gao Wen copied them as they were, in order to frustrate the little eagle's spirit.

Xiaoying: "Your master's martial arts skills, what qualifications do you have to comment?" He was inexplicably written a big ink character on the back of his hand, and he was so angry that one Buddha was born and the other nirvana.

Gao Wen said leisurely: "Irritated and impatient, warriors are taboo."

Xiao Ying was about to scold him, but Da Ying suddenly shouted: "Little Ying, Gao Wen is right, just shut up."

Xiaoying: "Yes, Master." His expression was full of grievances.

Daying suddenly looked at Gao Wen with a smile: "It can be seen that Gao Wen has also been taught by famous experts, not bad, not bad."

Gao Wen: "The prize is the prize."

At this moment, there was a commotion outside the courtyard.
