late Qing Dynasty arrest

Xiaoxue was already floating in the sky, whirling and dancing in the air. Li Guolou held an oilcloth umbrella to send Li Jinglue to the Anhui Fellowship Hall. He ran directly to the residences of the four fellow villagers. When he came to the door, he heard the sound of mahjong inside.Li Guolou couldn't help laughing, not studying hard, five fellow villagers were playing mahjong in the room.

Li Guolou knocked on the door and said loudly, "Arrest and investigation!"

There was a commotion in the room, laughter came, the door opened, Fan Dahui gave Li Guolou a big hug, and said with a smile: "Fake foreign devil, we were talking about you just now."

Li Guolou broke free from Fan Dahui's fat body, and said, "I'm not a real foreign devil, so don't be so enthusiastic."

The other four greeted Li Guolou and continued playing cards. Since they were friends, they would not stop playing cards. At least they would not leave the table until they had dinner in the guild hall.

While playing cards, Zhu Dinghe said: "Fake foreign devil, do you want to play for a while? Anyway, I won money."

Li Guolou smiled and said: "Don't be hypocritical, you fight. I'm just curious about how you moved to a room. It turned out to be for fun."

Fan Dahui retorted: "Hey, fake foreign devils can't say that. We are not trying to save money. We can save money for a pot of charcoal stove in one night. Who told us to be poor."

Li Guolou rolled his eyes and said, "Then ask Lao Zhu to sell his family's paintings, and the five of you can live a good life."

Zhu Dinghe was extremely dissatisfied, and said, "Why did the fake foreign devils get involved in my family? Would a self-reliant person like me use money from my family?"

Li Guolou replied: "Old Zhu, you are dishonest. Who am I? Your family just deposited a sum of money on the cabinet for you. You think I don't know."

As soon as the words fell, the mahjong was overthrown, and several other students began to criticize Zhu Dinghe for pretending to be poor, and must "treat Lao Zhu."

Zhu Dinghe quibbled: "I'm not here for the long flow of water, I have the most treats here."

A hero is hard to beat with four mouths, and the other four students are unwilling to let go, Zhu Dinghe can only agree to let them go out to eat and drink together at night.

Seeing the five of them quarreling and arguing, Li Guolou remembered his study tour career. Didn't the classmates quarrel and sometimes fight each other, but they still made up with each other, eating, drinking and having fun together.The time of studying is still the most memorable, and the carefree days are fading away. Will the five students cherish the friendship in front of them?In the future, who will be separated from each other, will they still think that they used to be brothers who slept on the same kang?

Li Guolou thought of his classmates in a foreign country. Britain is also in a world of ice and snow. Will the landlord Smith's family get together to read the Bible?The scene of the mischievous Shelia holding the scissors in one hand and his braid in the other came to his mind.

Seeing Li Guolou in a daze, Zhu Dinghe was very dissatisfied, and scolded: "Fake foreign devils, are you here to disturb the morale of the army? We study hard every night and live without sleep and sleep. We can't compare with fake talents from rich and noble families like you." Hurry up and take some practical actions to support our fellow countrymen, and we will repay you ten times in ten years."

Li Guolou glanced at him and said: "Old Zhu, what are you talking about? I want to plot against you. I have a big tree in my house that I have been plotting against for the rest of my life. You should calculate well. Don't make a royal mistake just because of a wrong word." Taboo, nothing to rejoice."

Examination papers for Juren must be clean and tidy, and if a word is wrong, it must be pasted on white paper and written again.But it's best not to post it. If you want to get a good ranking, you must do it in one go on the test paper, which is pleasing to the eye.

Examination for Juren is like a small dark room, a small compartment without a door, eating, drinking, and messing up, and you can't come out for three days.When entering, you have to change your clothes, and candidates are not allowed to carry notes and scriptures.But this can also cheat, bribe the examiner, and the test questions will be sent to the examiner by the invigilator.Another trick is to make a secret mark on the test paper. This is something that every invigilator will do. The invigilators are big or small, and the rankings of admissions are different. The top three are hand-picked by the emperor.The royal family has the most taboos. To write the name of a sage and the emperor's family, you must use a missing pen.Candidates who forget this will lose their test papers, and many candidates fall on this hurdle.Sometimes the kind-hearted examiner who marks the test paper and likes this test paper will help the examinee to change it so that the examinee can win the exam. It will change a person's life.

Li Guolou's words touched the hearts of the five students. Usually writing articles is a good time, but when they enter the strict examination room, they will be confused. If they don't perform well on the spot, they will waste two years.Several people sighed together, telling their fate.They all went to Huang Xiazi to tell their fortunes. Huang Xiazi's words were mysterious and subtle, which made people feel deeply meaningful, and they couldn't figure it out for a while.

Zhu Dinghe said: "Hey, I have a strange thing. I had a strange dream last night. I dreamed that I was riding on the top of the wall with an umbrella. I just wanted to jump off the top of the wall, but I was kicked awake by the rice bucket. gone."

Fan Dahui yelled angrily: "I still have to blame you, sleep well, and put your hand on my face, if I don't kick you, who will you kick?"

Zhu Dinghe argued: "Aren't I holding an umbrella? Of course I have to stretch out my hand."

Cao Kexing thought about it: "Old Zhu, you dreamed of riding on the top of the wall. This dream is not good. If you don't rely on both ends, you will end up in a dilemma."

Zhu Dinghe asked, "What about the umbrella?"

Cao Kexing said: "That means you are doing useless work. What's the use of sitting on the wall and holding an umbrella?"

Zhu Dinghe scratched his scalp and said: "Hey, I don't take it seriously. It's not good if the omen is bad. Anyway, if I don't win, I will go back to be a small landlord. It's a pity that I was raised by the second family. I can only live a well-off life in the future. It won't come out soon, my father won't spend money on me anymore."

Zhu Dinghe is the oldest here, almost 40 years old, and his father is still alive, so he can still live a carefree life.One day when his father passed away and the head of the family became the elder brother, how could he still devote all his attention to taking the exam, and his wife and children would also depend on him to support him.With the title of scholar, it is not a big problem to find a decent job.

Seeing that Zhu Dinghe was in a low mood, Li Guolou laughed loudly, clapped his hands, and said, "Congratulations, congratulations, old Zhu, you must be the winner of the gold list this time, and there is no problem in the top thirty. How can you listen to Brother Cao's words?" , he said everything in reverse."

Li Guolou is the most deceptive. Few people can refute his [-] fallacies. I don't know how many people have been fooled by him.

Zhu Dinghe regained his energy. The five students of the Qing Empire all looked down on Li Guolou, a talent bought with money, and slandered Li Guolou's talent behind his back, "People who can speak the language of foreign devils are all Traitor!" Li Guolou, who is not a real man, has always been the target of their criticism and attack.But they also knew a thing or two about Li Guolou's skills, and now they suddenly became his close friends.

"Fake foreign devils, don't be a fool, let's drink together at night." Zhu Dinghe invited Li Guolou to get drunk.

Drinking is something that the more you drink, the more you like to drink. Li Guolou is already an alcoholic, and he still has something to do in the afternoon. When he thinks of drinking with his friends, he doesn't want to do the business.I thought in my heart that it was snowing heavily, so I stopped working, the reason was well made up, and the person was already as stable as Mount Tai, sitting on the kang with his buttocks.

Li Guolou stretched out his shelf, held up his teacup, and said, "Old Zhu, I'll save you face. Just send me a cup of tea. The blind man has at least three hundred copper coins."

Fan Dahui interjected: "I don't believe Huang Xiazi's words. He said the year before last that I was in high school, but this time he has forgotten me. But for the sake of good luck, I didn't expose his lies. Give him less."

Zhu Dinghe said impatiently: "Idiot, what are you talking about, he is a man in the world, and people in high school praise him by the way. If I win, I will also say something nice to Huang Blind. This kind of thing Who will expose him. Isn't it narrow-minded."

Cao Kexing said: "Fake foreign devils, the tea is also respected, don't be fooled, we have to play mahjong."

Zhu Dinghe scolded angrily: "Xiao Cao, you guys fight, I won't fight anymore, it's a great pleasure to have friends over, I'll chat with the fake foreign devils, and watch the snow scene together later."

Fan Dahui said: "I won't fight anymore. What's the meaning of my kick? I still need to ask the fake foreign devils for advice. The three of you play mahjong with crossed feet."

Wei Hanyu waved his hand to mess up the mahjong on the table, and said passionately: "Stop playing, it's time for our good brothers to go out to play, snowball fights are better than playing mahjong."

The interest in playing in the snow came up, and everyone turned into children eager to try, looking at the snow falling outside the window, hoping that the snow would be bigger.They made a noise together and asked Li Guolou to quickly say that they started to change their shoes and prepare to go out.

Li Guolou said: "Old Zhu's dream is a good dream. He will become rich and powerful in the future. I can guarantee that Lao Zhu's ranking this time is the highest among you."

Zhu Dinghe's complexion is getting better and better. He is ready to eat a big meal with a big stroke of the pen.

Li Guolou said: "Old Zhu dreamed that he was riding on the top of the wall, which was a hint that his fortune was coming and he was about to change the door. This jump of Lao Zhu was like a carp jumping over a dragon's gate, shaking the world and weeping ghosts and gods."

The students exclaimed together, and said: "It makes sense." Zhu Dinghe was delighted to hear it, and said anxiously: "Fake foreign devils, then what is the auspicious omen for me to hold an umbrella, you should explain clearly."

Li Guolou smiled and said: "Old Zhu, this is a better explanation. You open your umbrella, which means that you will be as stable as Mount Tai when you jump off the wall, and there will be no mistakes. Sitting high, isn't it high school?"

Cao Kexing originally thought that Li Guolou was talking nonsense, but now he was moved by Li Guolou's words, and he jumped up from the ground and applauded: "Yes! Sitting high is high school. What I said just now was wrong. Congratulations to Lao Zhu You."

Everyone in the room was cheering, surrounded Zhu Dinghe, and congratulated him on having a wonderful dream.

Fan Dahui said anxiously: "What about me, the fake foreign devil? What good sign does my kick have?"

Li Guolou glanced and said: "You, that is to say, you have followed Lao Zhu all your life, and your ranking in Zhongju has fallen behind him. He will be the boss, and you will be the second son. You will never be as senior as him in official positions."

Fan Dahui got what he wanted and heard good things. He kicked Zhu Dinghe and was able to win the exam.

Li Guolou laughed secretly in his stomach, this is called a psychological hint, no matter how the situation develops in the future, he gave Zhu Dinghe a shot in the arm. "Sitting in a high place" and "being in danger" can all explain that the dream was originally false.

Zhu Dinghe blushed and shouted, "Drink flower wine tonight, I treat you!"

"Ooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo ow !Amidst the shouts, snowballs flew around, Li Guolou resisted the attack of five people alone, and bursts of laughter came from the street.
