Yuan Fu Nushu

Chapter 234, the sound of reading in the middle of the night
In the quiet of the night, even through thick door panels, the sound of reading can be heard clearly and accurately in the ears of every passer-by. , In this case.

These are three big shops, and the people who study here can only be students from poor families studying hard.

The general on duty also paid tribute to the owner of the shop, and continued to sigh: "Don't take up the night hours of the guys, let them read, and look at the candlelight coming out of the door panel, the candle is also brightly lit, this is a good job." Talented boss."

It’s no wonder that General Yun Shizi of Zhenguo specially confessed to patrol around here, so as not to let idlers disturb this shop. Now, the general patrolling tonight also pays tribute to this shop. In such a dynasty, most of the guys are Apprentices, there are no holidays throughout the year, and there may even be no wages.

Speaking of this, some people may say that the store is closed for the Chinese New Year.This is true, but the problem is that after the store is on holiday and closes at night, the boss may arrange many things to keep the staff in use and refuse to let them rest.

Some people may also say that the shops on his street are not closed during the New Year. In such a dynasty, many shops are closed during the New Year, but there are countless floor shops on the street, which only earn money for the New Year. The boss wants to visit relatives. In such a dynasty, it is very important to visit relatives.

The moonlit night is quiet and the sound of books is soft, which invisibly brings a soothing tranquility to this street. The general on duty took the lead in deliberately slowing down the speed of the horse, so as not to disturb the sound of reading with the sound of horseshoes.

The store obviously didn't pay attention to the movement outside the door panel. From He Ning to the other six guys, everyone was shaking their heads with their books in their hands. Will there be any influence on each other?That must be a little bit, but the book is really read, the article is really written, and there is not much influence on each other.

And sometimes, they will recite the same article, and when writing, they will be quiet together.

The candle is as thick as a child's arm, and Yanyan bought it on purpose, and the six guys left behind are poor children from the Qi, He, and Song families. Be nice to them.

Qi Shu, Qi Xiang, He Shitou, He Xiaoji, and Song Ban Songtu are all the poorest children of the three families. In the atmosphere of studying in Xinji, the family tightened their belts for them to study for the same reason. Before my sister got married, it was rumored in Xinji that the old man Yuan made his fortune by studying. The old man Yuan only went to the capital. Although he didn't get an official position, he brought back thousands of silver and started the family business from then on.

Then the eldest son Yuanyuan got an official position and changed his family name from farming to reading.

No matter in any dynasty, reading is the best way to change your life. Of course, the premise is to read the right books.

After studying, I took the imperial examination for granted, but not all scholars will take the imperial examination. The reason for the six people including Qi Shu is that it is difficult to come up with the money to go to Beijing.

One way to deal with it is to go to Beijing in advance, to go to Beijing as soon as the autumn is over, and to work and study all the way to Beijing, but part-time jobs can’t be forced. In August, after the release of the rankings, we will leave in October, and in February, in the spring. It's only four months, Qi Shu and others figured it out, it's very difficult to study all the way and make up for Chun Wei's expenses all the way.

One of the most serious problems in such a dynasty is that there are many calamities during the Chinese New Year. This is also the reason why some scholars have no news after rushing for the exam. The risks along the way are not small.

Qi Shu and the others originally thought that since they are still young, there is nothing wrong with being late in a subject, and they usually do not have a good ranking in Xinji School, so they will not have the confidence to go to Chunwei, so they will not borrow money from wealthy relatives in the clan , but intends to go to Beijing one year in advance for the next subject. I am already familiar with where to do part-time jobs, and I can find cheap accommodation in advance.

Then great joy fell from the sky, the second master of the Yuan family took a whole boat to Beijing, and was willing to bring all the people who came to Beijing to rush for the exam.

Poor people like Qi Shu steamed some steamed buns and brought them on board, and then, needless to say, they were all wrapped up by Yuan Lian and entertained by the Huguo Gongfu.

It's not unusual for Chun Wei not to win, there is always self-knowledge, and then another question comes, what should I do if I go back?
Although Yuan Lian failed the ranking, the princess kept him to live in Beijing for at least a year after Grandpa Yuan came to Beijing, and Yuan Lian would not return to his hometown in the near future, so Qi Yue and the others said: "When we return home, we will bring you and help you get out of the boat." Besides, it’s much safer for everyone to go on the road together.”

Xinji has more than 100 scholars in Beijing. Before Yanyan moved into the store, about half of them left the Huguogong Mansion to do odd jobs outside. Ze did not meet.

I usually spend the night in the place where I do part-time jobs, or in the woodshed or in the open air. When I am tired, I go back to the Huguogong Mansion to rest for a few days, and eat a few good meals to relieve fatigue. Looking for them to come back to attend lectures, they always come with gifts during the Dragon Boat Festival, which makes Yun Zhan feel that entertaining them is not in vain.

Yanyan wanted a buddy, so she left six of them, Qi Shu and others.After Qi Xi took his disciples home, on the day he failed, he took out his pen, ink, paper and inkstone, started to restrain himself, and led Qi Shu and others to read at night.

From the beginning of Yanyan, she didn't know about Yun Zhan's care behind her back. The children were studying in the shop. First, they guarded the shop, although it is still empty, and second, reading late into the night will not affect Yanyan and others' rest.

The sound of reading aloud made the patrolling people awe-inspiring, and the scholars living nearby also felt strange. This shop was obviously a shop, and the name "Qi Ji" was written on the cover in the night breeze, but why did they turn on the lamp to read.

Scholars passed by again, listening to the sound of reading, knocking on the door to ask to understand, but feeling that everyone is not familiar, so let's wait until we are familiar.

Tired of reading, the scholars who went out to take a stroll and listened to the store by the way, walked home slowly, planning to turn on the lamp to read at night, and saw a few people nestled in the corner.

This is a lively street, and the guards of the capital patrolled by from time to time, and the scholars stared: "Who is it? You can't be a thief here in the middle of the night!"

The few people who were frightened left in a hurry, still unwilling to be seen, they ran out of Sanjie Street with their heads in their arms.

After a stop, several people showed their faces, each with a dude's face, they were Luan Jing's confidantes: Linjiang Hou Shizi, Longshan Hou Shizi, Hubu Hou Shizi, Chunjiang Bo Shizi and others.

Linjiang Hou Shizi turned to the ground: "Spit!"

Longshan Hou Shizi followed: "I spit!"

Hubu Hou Shizi said: "I spit spit!"

Uncle Chunjiang felt that what he said was a bit of a waste of tongue, he said: "Brothers and brothers, this trip is a bit difficult, I think we should have a good drink and vent our anger for Lao Luan before we talk."

Uncle Xu Chang's son was very satisfied: "Yes, Lao Luan can't look down on his daughter-in-law, and the one who beat him is the uncle. It's none of our business. If you and I come to provoke trouble in the middle of the night, it's fine if we find it. We guarded it for three days without daring to move, if you want me to tell you that the little girl who got away with money in Lao Luan's room must have had an affair with the guards of the capital, otherwise why wouldn't we do it?"

The dandy boasted that this is justified, let's go eat and drink, and defended Lao Luan for three days, the brotherhood is enough, if we keep on, the favor will grow, Lao Luan can't pay him back, how can we Isn't it a burden to him?
