Powerful Song Dynasty

Chapter 80 The Emergence of a New Era
"You...you, Wang Xiu, don't just think you've got the leader and get carried away... oh...you dare to hit me."

Before Wang Xiu finished speaking, Zhu Rong was about to open his mouth to retort, Zhang Qiyuan slapped him resolutely, and Zhu Rong was hit in a mess.

He Wei was stunned, Gao Xuan on the side was stunned, and Wang Xiu was also stunned. They didn't expect that Zhang Qiyuan would take action to teach Zhu Rong a lesson, which was beyond everyone's expectations.

"You... Zhang Qiyuan, how dare you..." Zhu Rong was slapped in a mess, finally regained his senses, and stared at Zhang Qiyuan fiercely.

Zhang Qiyuan's face was colorless, surprisingly calm, his eyes were so cold that it made one's heart tremble, and he said coldly: "Get lost."

Zhu Rong couldn't help shivering, and immediately his face was ferocious, his eyes were red, and he yelled, "Zhang Qiyuan, what a thief, if it wasn't for you..."

Without waiting for Zhu Rong to finish his sentence, Zhang Qiyuan sternly said: "Zhu Rong, don't you even look at this place. You are dressed in white and dare to abuse Gong Juren in front of the state school. You are really outrageous."

Zhu Rong was startled by Zhang Qiyuan's stern words, he took two steps back, his Adam's apple was knotted, he didn't know what to say, his eyelids kept twitching.

Wang Xiu looked at Zhang Qiyuan thoughtfully, and was amazed in her heart, this guy really deserves to be a genius!Switching to the officialdom of the later generations, it is definitely on the line, and it will make you lose your temper.How should Zhu Rong refute, not to mention that there is no noise in front of the state school, but after the announcement of the list, Zhu Rong's status will immediately decline. If he dares to do something to him and Zhang Qiyuan, then he will really weigh it.

In the Song Dynasty, although the status of Gongju people was not very noble, it was just that they were qualified to participate in the examination of the Ministry of Rites. It was not a lifelong status, but it was also the first step for scholars to enter the ranks. Juren, the local government does not spare the power of torture tools, they are the seeds of scholars.

He glanced at Zhu Rong with disdain, looked at Gao Xuan thoughtfully, smiled lightly, turned and left.

With a smile on his face, Zhang Qiyuan cupped his hands to the surrounding Shangshui scholars, and said with a gentle attitude: "I'll go back first."

In the eyes of everyone present, Wang Xiu's departure was very arrogant and he did not greet anyone, but Zhang Qiyuan was gentle and refined, at least he greeted him, and he was decisive.In fact, Zhang Qiyuan has his own plans and always gives people the best image.

Wang Xiu is different, solving the test is just a process, it can't be called Tongtian Dao at all, there are hundreds of military states in the world, but there are only a few hundred people who can get Jinshi, most of them are fellow Jinshi with low status, even if Chenzhou is a big state , and it is impossible to be admitted to many people, his reputation has long been slowly spread along with the theory of the mind, and there is no need to put on airs in front of Chenzhou scholars.

On the way, Zhang Qiyuan talked and laughed happily with Wang Xiu, so that He Wei was a little surprised. The attitude of the two was quite ambiguous, and those who didn't know thought they had a romantic relationship.

"I'm going to participate in the tribute exam next year. I wonder when my brother will leave?"

Zhang Qiyuan seemed to care about Wang Xiu very much, but he always felt so awkward that he rolled his eyes.

Wang Xiu smiled lightly and said, "We'll talk about it after returning to Shangshui. I'm not in a hurry to go to Kaifeng, after all, it's not far away."

Zhang Qiyuan chuckled and said, "That's right, I want to go back too, why don't we go north together?"

Brother-in-law?The corner of Wang Xiu's mouth twitched. In later generations, this word is synonymous with marrying a sister. He said with a bright smile, "That's good, but my trip date is uncertain, and I'm afraid it will delay your going north."

Zhang Qiyuan was quite disappointed at the obvious tactful refusal. In all fairness, he had a feeling of friendship with Wang Xiu at the moment of posting the list. It had nothing to do with any likes or dislikes. The hatred that cannot be resolved, everything is based on profit.

He has already thought about it, it's not just the Wang family's mess, Wang Xiu's compensation for him is obviously still grudges, the big deal is to give in, anyway, he hasn't gone to Kaifeng yet, and there is time to deepen the relationship, which is to maximize the benefits.

Of course, he still has deeper considerations. If he wants to defeat a person, he should be friends with him first, and then he will have a chance to get to know him deeply. Good and evil, that is reality.Wang Xiu gave him the impression that Xiaoqiang was always able to rise surprisingly out of the impossible, and he also listed Wang Xiu as the final object of attention.

When they arrived at the inn, they separated. Wang Xiu took Zong Liang and Feng Yuan to the house, excited why he didn't follow, he wanted to make a good arrangement and get completely drunk at night.

Zhang Qiyuan smiled and separated from He Wei, and after entering the guest room, his smiling face suddenly became overcast, like frost in winter.

Wang Xiu went all the way to the late old man's house. The children burst into cheers when they heard Zong Liang's excited words. Li Caiwei held Wang Xiu's arm, and her beautiful eyes were full of little stars of admiration.

It is undeniable that although Li Caiwei is emaciated and malnourished, after a few days of recuperation, her pale face has a blush, her grooming is clean, and her beautiful face gradually appears. In a few years, a disaster-like beauty will be born.

Li Changsheng is almost thirteen, and he has been tempered by a hard life. He looked at Wang Xiu in surprise, and said, "Sir, sir won the first place."

Wang Xiu nodded, but she was a little awkward with the word Mr. These children were only seven or eight years younger than him, and the oldest was only five years younger than him. Calling myself Mr. makes me feel so embarrassing, am I really old? ?

"This... this, there is something I want to tell you."

"Sir, please tell me." Liu Renfeng said first.

Wang Xiu organized the language as well as possible, and said slowly: "Since I have passed the test, I will return to Shangshui in two days, and prepare to go to Kaifeng..."

Having said that, he obviously felt Li Caixuan's body trembling, so he couldn't help but stop, and asked with concern: "Caixuan, what's wrong?"

Li Caixuan's starry eyes were watery, and she cried a little: "Sir, stop Caixuan?"

"Sister Yao, why are you crying?" Li Changsheng glared at his sister, feeling uncomfortable in his heart.

Looking at the children with different faces, Wang Xiu didn't know what to say, he hurriedly said: "No, no." He stroked Li Caixuan's beautiful hair, and said softly: "I can't bear to leave Caixuan and go. "

Only then did Li Caixuan smile through tears, shaking Wang Xiu's arm, and said softly, "Mr. is good or bad."

Wang Xiu pinched her nose and said with a smile: "Okay, all of you, would you like to go with me to trade water?"

"Go to Shangshui?" Zong Liang looked at Li Changsheng and Liu Renfeng subconsciously. He was an honest boy and rarely had any opinions.

They can't complain about Zongliang. They are children after all. After the old man passed away, they seemed to have lost their backbone. Where did they have any ideas? When they went to a completely strange place and started from their hearts, they couldn't help but look at each other, not knowing what to do.

When Wang Xiu saw this, he also knew that what he said was too harsh, and he didn't consider the children's feelings. After all, they were still wearing mourning for the elderly, and they were very confused about the way forward. He calmed down and said patiently: "The old man has already gone. , What can you do in Wanqiu? I also have some business in Shangshui, and you can help with some work when you go, and those who want to study can study." Turning to Feng Yuan and Qiu Yun, he smiled and said: "I I also know a Jie level who is very skilled, and I can learn how to use guns, sticks and bows."

Feng Yuan and Qiu Yun's eyes lit up first, and they all turned to Zong Liang and Li Changsheng.

Zong Liang gritted his teeth, and said cautiously: "Sir, we are willing to go back with you, can you let us study?"

Wang Xiu smiled lightly and said, "Why not? I promised my boss to take good care of you. Don't underestimate me. I compiled some books by myself. If you are interested, you can learn from them. Of course, you have to take care of the business for me at ordinary times." , my eldest sister is the big shopkeeper, and she makes a living making sugar."

"White sugar, it's frosting sugar..." Li Caixuan's eyes were full of little stars, and she looked like a greedy cat.

Don't joke, for poor children, the welfare policy of the Great Song Dynasty is very generous. Although they can't even eat salt, they can't eat exquisite food.Especially frosted sugar, which is still a high-end consumer product in this era, is definitely full of temptations for these children.

"Okay, look at your greedy cats." Wang Xiu smiled, looked at the excited children, and thought about the difficult months of her own, feeling sad for no reason.

"gentlemen..."

"Don't call me sir, do I look that old?" Wang Xiu really couldn't stand this address.

Li Caixuan tilted her head, her beautiful eyes lingered, Qianqian put her fingers on her lips, and said with a smile: "Seeing how young you are, you should be called Mr."

The corner of Wang Xiu's mouth twitched, a drop of cold sweat appeared on his forehead, and he said with a wry smile, "Mr. is young, so he should be called Mister."

Bo Zhang said weakly: "It's better to call him Mr., don't change it."

"Sir?" Wang Xiu shook her head helplessly. There really isn't a good name for her. Big brother can't, uncle?Forget it, he's not that old, he gritted his teeth and said, "Forget it. Let's call it that first, at least the sir looks younger."

"Sir." Li Caixuan grinned and shouted heartlessly.

"Leave in a few days." Wang Xiu looked at Li Caixuan dotingly, he had no idea what nine malnourished and immature boys meant to him and to this era!The Fifteen Sons of the Wang Family, a title that will impress and admire the talents of future generations, gathered nine people on this day, and truly began to usher in an era!
