For example, the mysterious third person that he had never met before, who took two bonuses for nothing but didn't care about anything, was definitely a person with a very important status.

However, Brother Yunfei kept silent, no matter how itchy his heart was, he would not ask in detail.

Li Yunfei did not pay attention to that person just now, because just now Bai Wushuang also popularized science for him. What kind of official position is the so-called three-state patrol envoy? It's okay to be crazy, I thought it was some kind of high-ranking official, but I didn't expect it to be just a ninth-rank official.

Moreover, the inspectors of the three states are also divided into military inspection and cultural inspection. The man just now should be a military inspection, which means that the other party has no rights and is just a secondary role beside Wenjian.

Knowing that the other party is a minion, he no longer has the slightest worry. Anyway, as long as he is not a prince-level person, he will be fine with the protection of the big Buddha, Qin Heng.

What happened before was just a small episode. Not long after, several people returned to the courtyard again. Zeng Tianming was only injured on the skin. Now after resting for a while, he came back to life. Li Yunfei felt that the weather today was good, the sun was bright but there was no heat. It's a great time for an outdoor grill.

Li Yunfei doesn't have any elegant temperament, on the contrary, he somewhat destroys the artistic conception.He was not restrained in other people's houses, after all, he was his brother, so why be polite?

Therefore, the courtyard was cleaned up. A few large stones were deducted from the bluestone surface, and then these stones were used to build a small baking table. Slate, used as a table for slate firing.

Zeng Tianming smiled wryly as Li Yunfei tore down the floor of his courtyard, but he didn't say anything. After all, he knew Li Yunfei's cooking skills.

The previous competition with Jin Kailou was still fresh in his memory and could not be forgotten.

That bowl of fried rice and noodles seems to have penetrated into his soul and remained in the depths of his memory. After all, this is a delicacy he has never tasted before, and even the chefs in Yaoyuelou can't make that kind of taste!

Bai Wushuang seems to be familiar with Qinglan, and now Bai Wushuang has used them to carry firewood and cut meat and vegetables in the kitchen. The two delicate girls are doing the work of servants, but they are smooth and smooth, without a trace of trouble. sense of violation.

They are all people who have a hard life, just doing this little thing, how can they get tired, Qinglan was also the daughter of a poor family before she was sold to Hongcui Building as a nobleman when she was a child, washing and cooking were commonplace, As for the piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, my mother in the Hongcui Building asked someone to teach me.

At noon, Li Yunfei began to brush oil on the slate. After the oil blossoms sizzled, he put the sliced ​​red and white meat on it, and the fat immediately turned into oil and water, and the aroma exploded, making everyone present I couldn't help but slurp my tongue.

Grab a freshly made barbecue sauce, sprinkle some chili noodles and cumin, the aroma is even more tangy, spread in the courtyard, and even flow into the next door...

...

The house next door is very cold

There was not much life in the whole house. An old man was sitting on a chair, looking at the green trees and red flowers in the courtyard, drinking tea, and holding a biography of his predecessors at the same time.

There were already half a hundred people, and he was the only one left in the house. He put down his books and looked at his old house with nostalgia.

He had no children in his life, and his only married couple died of dystocia. Since then, his luck has been bad, and he has repeatedly failed the local examinations. Now he is still a scholar in his twilight years.

All the belongings in the house have been dissipated, but he still wants to continue the exam. The various exams in Qianguo do not limit the age, so Chen Xiucai still doesn't want to give up. He thought, he will sell the house in a few days, and then Move to a small place to live, and use the money from the sale to continue to rush for the exam, which may last for several years.

I just hope... I can pass the exam in the future.

Thinking of this, he suddenly moved his nose, and his face turned strange.

What's this... where's the smell?It smells so good!

It smells so good!Who is cooking?He stood up in some surprise, paced in the garden, trying to find the source of the smell, walked from the east wall to the west wall, and then his eyes lit up.

That's right!It's the smell from the courtyard next door!

This kind of aroma, just smelling it will increase people's appetite, and I don't know who is cooking and what kind of food is cooking, but it can emit such an attractive smell!

Chen Xiucai, who has always been not picky about what he eats, showed a trace of hesitation on his face. It seems that the next door has recently changed people. The former old scholar of the same period has also sold the house and moved away. Now it seems that a young man has moved here. .

His face blushed, and he had the urge to go to the next door to beg for food, but... this is obviously too embarrassing, maybe he will be treated as a beggar, which is degrading to the gentleman...

How about... sneak a peek?Find out what it is...

Thinking of it this way, he didn't think that it would be even more insulting to him to peek at him.

With a grunt, he swallowed his saliva, desire overcame his face.

Chen Xiucai glanced at his courtyard, and saw the wooden chair he was making before. He was walking slowly, but now he was walking steadily, not at all like a person over fifty years old.

When he arranged the chair and stood on it tremblingly, ready to take a look at the other side's courtyard, his head just passed the wall when he saw a face facing him.

"Old man, who are you looking for?"

"Hey hey!"

The sound of heavy objects falling to the ground came from the side of the courtyard, causing Li Yunfei and the others to look over.

I saw Bai Wushuang leaning against the wall, his whole body was propped up like a pull-up, as if he was looking at the courtyard next door.

What are you doing?

Li Yunfei hadn't figured out the situation before he heard intermittent wailing and screams from the courtyard next door, and then he saw Bai Wu jumping into the courtyard of the other side with his hands braced.

In just one second, she held one man's collar in one hand, dragged him back and jumped back, with a few light steps, she arrived in front of Li Yunfei and Zeng Tianming.

"This old man just peeked at us, and then I was scared and fell off the wall"

"This is that Chen Xiucai next door." Zeng Tianming had a strange expression on his face. He had just moved here not long ago, but he still knew the people next door. At the time, he preferred the one next door, but it was a pity that Chen Xiucai didn't want to. Sell, he just didn't buy it.

Chen Xiucai gasped in pain, what he had just experienced had scared him out of his wits.

Especially when he was carried and leaped to the next courtyard, the other party carried him as if he was carrying a chicken, the ease made him feel ashamed, anyway, he was a little bit awkward, this guy is really strong enough ...

"Say, why did you peek at us just now!". . . . . . . .to be continued

Chapter 162 Mr. Reading

Bai Wushuang threw Chen Xiucai on the ground, he didn't mean to respect the elders at all, because if there was some benevolence of a woman in wandering the rivers and lakes, then she would have been murdered to death, this person just spied on them, maybe he didn't have any good intentions.

Li Yunfei and others also looked up, with doubts and vigilance in their eyes.

Chen Xiucai trembled all over. He blushed a little. He didn't know how to explain it. He felt that even if he told the truth, it would be embarrassing enough. When he was about to make a nonsense reason, his stomach rushed to answer.

After a long and melodious grunt, Chen Xiucai blushed like a monkey's buttocks. As a scholar, his face is extremely important. If peeping was discovered, it was because of this kind of thing. Poor people who can't afford to eat.

Everyone heard it strangely, and Bai Wushuang's previously threatening eyes became softer, and she patted Chen Xiucai, who was half-sitting on the ground with a dull expression, sympathetically.

"I understand... Sometimes I can't bear the hunger, will the old man stay for dinner?"

It was completely charity and compassion, Bai Wushuang thought of the hardships she had gone through when she was hunted down, and the experience of that period was unforgettable, which made her have a heart of empathy for all those who did not have enough to eat.

Chen Xiucai was even more embarrassed, his tone was like no one else, he really regarded himself as a beggar!He was talking to a little beggar, even a beggar would not be eaten, let alone he was a scholar, he just felt ashamed, and was about to refuse angrily, and then he smelled a more fragrant smell.

Li Yunfei brought some slate skewers over, and looked at the old man with a chuckle, "You're starving, old man, you can eat first, and there are others, you don't need to be polite, they are all neighbors, not outsiders."

For the elderly, Li Yunfei has always been very tolerant. The good quality of respecting the old and loving the young was deeply engraved in his bones during elementary school education. This old man is a scholar, and Li Yunfei can also see it. It's embarrassing and a bit hurtful, so let him do it.

The sentence "all neighbors, not outsiders" directly resolved most of the previous embarrassment, and Chen Xiucai's complexion improved a lot, which meant that it was the friendly interaction between neighbors, not some sympathetic charity, and he felt much better immediately. But is it really going to follow?

He looked at the very delicious grilled skewers, the green onion and oily water were shining on it, especially the tangy aroma, which directly made him lose his psychological defense.

Don't eat for nothing!Anyway, I lost my face...

Based on the mentality that a dead pig is not afraid of boiling water, Chen Xiucai pretended to be reluctant to accept it and took the skewers over. After thanking him softly, he began to chew slowly.

After chewing a few times, Chen Xiucai's pupils dilated instantly, holding the skewer in front of his eyes in disbelief, and then put it into his mouth, tore a little meat and started to eat. ! ! !

Delicious!What is this?Why can it be so delicious!

Chen Xiucai's family was rich and honored before, so what delicious food hasn't been eaten?But this is probably the most delicious food he has ever eaten in his life. In a trance, when he was still savoring this novel and unique taste, he found that the skewers in his hand were long gone.

finished eating...

He looked at the empty stick eagerly, and then his tongue was still sliding in his mouth, already wanting to find out whether there was any shreds of meat in it from the gap between his teeth.

Happiness comes too suddenly, and disappointment comes even faster.

Chen Xiucai smashed his mouth, he has completely forgotten the embarrassing things about himself before, and now his eyes are staring straight at the young man who gave him a skewer. Sitting on Maza, in front of you is a pile of stone slabs. Under the slate, Chai Xin is burning, and on the slate, oil splashes are slightly splashed, and various skewers are spread on it, which is undergoing fascinating changes. ...

That charming fragrance came from above, and Chen Xiucai stared at it, drooling, and his eyes felt red.

maybe!Seems to be asking for more!

"Don't worry, old man, there will be more in a while"

Where could Li Yunfei fail to notice the longing gaze, he was stunned for a moment, then smiled and said, Chen Xiucai's old face was reddish again, he nodded, thanked him again and then stopped talking, he was just observing the young man The way people do it, I wonder if I can try this way in the future.

Although Chen Xiucai didn't want to talk to him, Zeng Tianming, as the son of a businessman, knew how to liven up the atmosphere and was good at chatting with people since he was a child. In addition, Zeng Tianming also had certain literary attainments, so he chatted and laughed with Chen Xiucai soon.

He is Chen Xiucai's neighbor, Li Yunfei can only be regarded as a visit.

Chen Xiucai also learned that the house next door was bought by this young man who talks naturally, and the cook is his friend.

Talking and laughing, a new batch of grilled skewers was ready soon, Bai Wushuang went up to get most of them, looked at the others with a vigilant face, and almost said that this is mine, it's all mine!

Originally, she was like a rabbit, and immediately after getting the skewers, she started to be quiet and chilling, not because she obeyed the rules of not talking when eating or sleeping, but because if she talked, it would be a waste of her tasting delicious food. time.

The remaining half, Li Yunfei and the others split up after talking. At this time, Li Yunfei also joined in the discussion with the old man.

A few people were chatting, and the previous life status was almost worn away, and they could be regarded as the year-end friends that Wei Wei knew.

What surprised Li Yunfei was that this old man was an unaccompanied scholar, and now he was planning to sell his house to save some money and find a smaller place to live for the exam...

It's really a place where there is nowhere to look, isn't it just that the villa is short of a teacher?

I don't have any other relatives, and I want to live in a different place... There are still many guest rooms in Li's house. It is absolutely possible to provide a room, pay him a little wages, and provide him with three meals. It is perfect!

After rinsing his mouth with tea, Li Yunfei expressed his thoughts to the old man, wanting him to come to his villa to be a teacher to teach the children in the villa to read and write, and he also offered the conditions he could offer He said everything verbatim.

Originally, Chen Xiucai was still worrying about his future life, but Li Yunfei's words directly made his heart beat faster.

Food and shelter included!And get paid!It's just being a teacher. It sounds like it's just teaching for a few hours a day. There is still plenty of time left. He can use other time to study hard and retake the exam... . . . . . . . .to be continued

Chapter 163 The Curve of the Imperial Examination to Save the Country

And such a good thing? !

If it hadn't been for talking with this young man for a while and getting to know each other, seeing that his temperament and demeanor are not like ordinary people, otherwise he would have thought it was a liar somewhere.

"Hey, old man, this is a good opportunity. If you hurry up for the exam, maybe you can ask Brother Yunfei for advice in some places."

When Zeng Tianming saw Li Yunfei's straight face, he knew that Brother Yunfei was serious, and he didn't find a job for the old man out of sympathy, so he naturally had to help talk about it as a friend.

Sure enough, this sentence became the last straw that broke the camel's back. The old man's eyes widened. How can this young man guide himself?Although he has doubts, he is still very excited and hopes that all this is true.

Li Yunfei stared at Zeng Tianming speechlessly, and said to himself that my tutor is a fart, I don't even know anything about the imperial examination, I'm a ghost tutor!

Pit!Zeng Tianming gave Zeng Tianming a middle finger in his heart, which is really a mother's pit, because he saw that Chen Xiucai was really moved by Zeng Tianming's words.

Zeng Tianming winked at Li Yunfei, "You don't know something, old man, but do you know who this person is in front of you?"

Chen Xiucai was stunned for a moment. After hearing this, he looked at Li Yunfei seriously, but he couldn't see anything. He really didn't know this face.

"This is Li Yunfei, the unparalleled poet and painter who has recently made a splash in Fujiang Mansion, Mr. Li!"

Zeng Tianming spoke in a very exaggerated voice, which made Li Yunfei want to punch him on the forehead. This is so... so shameful, it feels like a public execution.

"Ah?! But...but...that ghost of poetry and painting?"

The old man suddenly lost his ability to speak, and the way he looked at Li Yunfei changed instantly. If he looked at Li Yunfei before and thought he was a very polite young man, now he completely admires him.

People in this world love talents after all, how could Chen Xiucai not know about the poet ghosts and painter ghosts who have recently gained fame?We must know that poetry and painting are in a dilemma, but there really needs to be such a talented person in Fujiang Mansion who is proficient in all of them, and who can take on both the title of poet and ghost painter.

And now, the person he admired stood in front of him. Although he looked much younger than he imagined, this did not hinder his longing.

But for any scholar, there is almost no one in Fujiang Mansion who has never heard of the name Li Yunfei, poet ghost and painter ghost.

Although Chen Xiucai didn't have the opportunity to watch Li Yunfei write poems and paintings with his own eyes, but the stories of several poems and paintings spread during these days and the poems circulated in the stories shocked him unceasingly.

He admired this young talent from the bottom of his heart, envied him for having such a good talent, and at the same time lamented that his talent was not good, and he still failed to pass the provincial examination...

"Hey, look at how excited you are, old man? If you agree, Brother Yunfei might be able to guide you~"

"Is this true!?"

Chen Xiucai was breathing incoherently, and he stared at Li Yunfei expectantly, fearing that this opportunity would slip away from him.

Li Yunfei was sweating profusely, what the hell...what the hell can I teach!

"Old man, in fact, I have never been involved in the imperial examination, and I don't know how to pass the exam..."

Li Yunfei didn't want to lie, he directly explained what he said, so as not to entrap the old man.

"It's okay, it's okay! If Mr. Li agrees, I will sell the mansion right away, and I will follow you to the villa to teach!"

Ok?Even so, agree?Li Yunfei was a little confused, Bai Wushuang finished eating the skewers at this time, and said quietly on the side, "The national imperial examinations are divided into six categories: literary talent, arithmetic, political theory, national policy, calligraphy, and poetry. Poetry is a very important one. Lun, let’s not talk about the poems that rely exclusively on writing poems, even when asking about national policies and political theories, you have to use a poem to sum up the ending..."

Li Yunfei's eyes suddenly filled with strangeness when he looked at Bai Wushuang, how could this foodie know so much?Never felt smart before?

Seeing Li Yunfei's eyes, Bai Wushuang knew what Li Yunfei was thinking, immediately snorted, turned his face away, and despised my husband, I won't talk to you for a while!
