The heavens from Bailuyuan

Chapter 26 The Three Girls

Languan is located in the south of Zishui County.

It is not far from Bailuyuan.

Looking south from the outskirts of Bailu Village, although the towering and majestic pass in the Qinling Mountains cannot be seen, the young people couldn't help but read this ancient poem when they saw the mountain and the scenery.

After everyone chanted a few ancient poems describing the spring scene, they could no longer bear the loneliness suffocated in the winter, and began to play and play around and play in the mountains and rivers.

The group of people who were slightly separated from each other became more harmonious after a few jokes.

Walking to a mountain, overlooking the entire Bailu Village, you can also see other villages in the corners. Unlike the cement buildings of later generations, Daiqing's tiles almost blend with the scenery, like the splash-ink landscape paintings of Chinese paintings. .

"Brother Gui, listen to the people in our village discussing that your father is planning to marry you?"

Bai Xiaowen broke off a piece of dog's tail grass and held it in his mouth, as if he mentioned this matter unintentionally.

"What?"

"Brother Bai, are you going to get engaged?"

These teenagers are just at the age of youth. Half a month ago, Lu Zhaoqian took them to see the scene where Bai Xinger, a farmer in the village, matched a horse with a foal. Although he didn't understand why he did this, his mind was not in poetry. The book is up.

In the past, I couldn't help looking at the older girls and younger daughter-in-laws who came and went, seeing their graceful and graceful places.

Throat was dry, drooling, and swallowed into stomach.

Now that they heard that Bai Gui, who was two years older than him, was going to get engaged, they were scratching their heads, wondering what a man and a woman would do when they got married, which was not taught in the book.

Bai Gui squatted down at this moment, folded a few willow sticks, peeled off the skin, and wove a grasshopper cage with tender white willow branches. Soon, he wove a lifelike little grasshopper by hand, and handed it to The two little ones, Bai Xiaowu and Lu Zhaohai, who had been waiting for a long time, replied: "The matter of disappearing, the amount is so big. Today, the gentleman said, give us a few guarantees, and let us go to the county to take the county examination. Familiarize yourself with the atmosphere of the imperial examination, this time and again, betrothal? I will be busy next summer!"

County examinations are generally held in February of each year.

The county examination in Zishui County is held in late February as usual.It has just been thawed, and there are still more than two months before the county test.

Xu Xiucai has a different view from the people in the village.

Most scholars take part in the imperial examinations to make up the number, and it is unlikely that they will be on the list at one time.And taking part in the imperial examination has many benefits. You can get familiar with the rules, sharpen your temperament, and you can master the knowledge faster before preparing for the exam...

Therefore, under the "hint" of Bai Gui's asking questions, Xu Xiucai made up his mind. He felt that this was indeed a good idea. He planned to select a few people to take the county test, make up the number, and go through the motions to know how big he was with those children. difference.

Only Confucian students who have passed the county and government examinations can be called Tongsheng.

In the assessment, it was no surprise that Zhou Yuan ranked first in the school, Lu Zhaopeng ranked second in the school, Bai Gui ranked third in the school, Lu Zhaohai and Bai Xiaowu followed closely behind, and then the other Mongolian children .

"That's right, the most important thing is to pass the county exam first." Zhou Yuan said with some pride, "I've been to three private schools, and I know the progress of those schoolchildren. Now I'm still far behind. As long as I take the exam, I'm sure I'll pass." !"

His words are not false.

Although Zishui County belonged to Jingzhao in the Han and Tang Dynasties, it was Ji County.At that time, the style of study was at its peak, and people such as the great poet Wang Wei liked to live in seclusion in Zishui County to cultivate their sentiments.I don't know how many poems describe Zishui County, and the number is innumerable.

During the Tang Dynasty, counties in the world were divided into ten grades: Chi, Cichi, Ji, Ciji, Wang, Jin, Shang, Zhong, Zhongxia, and Xia.At that time, Zishui County was directly under the jurisdiction of Jingzhao, and it was Ji County, with a high status.

But since the Song Dynasty, Jingzhao has withered, and Zishui County is also getting worse day by day.

Among the counties in the Qing Dynasty, Zishui County is only a lower county.

The culture and education of Bailu Village is actually not much different from other villages and towns in Zishui County, and it may even be slightly better than other villages and towns. After all, the tutors used by other villages and towns are not necessarily talented... Zhou Yuan can stand out in a village and be the best. Other schoolchildren of the same age Not necessarily comparable to him.

"Brother Bai, there is also a younger sister, the third in the family, after the two of us come back from the county examination, I will decide whether you have passed the county examination or not, I will persuade my father to betroth my younger sister to you. It's just kissing and kissing."

Zhou Yuan patted his chest and assured.

He also knew that the scholars who didn't take the exam were the first time a big girl got on the sedan chair, and they were rich and precious.After the failure, there are some people who are left alone.But he knows how powerful Bai Gui is...

In time, Bai Guiding will go further than he did in the imperial examination.

"Miss San? That's a hard life. You are really not ashamed to betroth your brother." Bai Xiaowen curled his lips.

"If it's the third lady, she's also my younger sister." Zhou Yuan blushed. Bai Xiaowen's words seemed to mean that he was not loyal, but he regarded Bai Gui as a close friend, and glared at him: "That's the only one." Sister, if Brother Bai is engaged, the dowry will be given to Brother Bai to a dyeing workshop in the provincial capital, and [-] mu of land in Pangjia Village, okay!"

The cub sells Ye Tian's heart.

Zhou Yuan was in the middle of his youthful spirit. He never thought about how much a dyeing workshop he mentioned was worth, and how much the 600 mu of land was worth. This was at least five or six hundred taels of silver, not counting the gold and silver buried at home. here it is.

Listening to the quarrel of several people, Bai Gui finally got the meaning of the third girl from it.

It turns out that Qin Opera has a play "Wang Baochuan".

The descendants of Wang Baochuan are also known to everyone, and the TV broadcasts it on a loop all day long.Although he didn't like to watch this kind of TV series in his previous life, the old man liked to watch it, watched it a few times with him, and knew the general plot.

Wang Baochuan is the third daughter at home, so she is the third girl.

The general plot of "Wang Baochuan" is that the third daughter of Wang Yun, the prime minister of Tang Yizong, insisted on marrying the poor Xue Pinggui regardless of her parents' words.Later, Xue Pinggui went out with the army to pacify Xiliang, but Wang Baochuan also guarded the cold kiln for 18 years. Later, Xue Pinggui ascended the throne and took Wang Baochuan back to the palace and canonized the queen. However, Wang Baochuan died of illness after only being the queen for [-] days. .

Coincidentally, on Wudianpo near the Big Wild Goose Pagoda in Chang'an City, there is an ancient cold kiln where Wang Baochuan lived.

This opera is almost well known in Qin Province.Therefore, the third girl is also considered to be short of blessings and doomed to a miserable life.

"Brother Zhou, Hou Huo Qubing, the champion of the Han Dynasty, once said that the Xiongnu are still alive, so what is the family doing?"

"Now I don't have any fame, and my family has no fertile land. Anyone who marries me will have a hard life. Besides, it's time for us to use force. How can we stick to one family..."

Bai Gui gave a wry smile, and stepped forward to persuade him.

Talk to people when you see people, talk to ghosts when you see ghosts.The words of persuasion to Bai Youde cannot be used on Zhou Yuan.If you say that I don't want to marry your sister, it's offending people... It's best to find a high-level reason and politely refuse.

Scholars also eat this set.
