The first assistant of the poor family

Chapter 18 It's Not Friends Who Don't Get Together ([-])

(Please collect, please recommend tickets!)

From the current point of view, Xie Shen's life after coming to the Hongzhi Dynasty of the Ming Dynasty is very smooth.Although it was unavoidable to have troubles such as being bullied by the evil son, Xie Shen fought back with a slap in the face.The most important thing is that Xie Shen made friends with brothers Wang Shouren and potential stocks like Xie Pi.He also won the favor of Wu County Magistrate and Confucius Jiaoyu, and the future is bright!
But Xie Shen couldn't take it lightly.After all, Yuyao is a strong county in the imperial examination. If you want to get the first place in the county examination in such a county, you still need to have enough hard power.Although Xie Shen had read countless articles written by the number one scholar of the Ming Dynasty in his previous life, and it can be said that he could use them immediately, but the coverage was insufficient after all.If you want to be sure that nothing will go wrong, you still have to read the Four Books and Five Classics, and Zhu Zi's Annotations.The topic comes from the inside, how can it be done if you don't know it thoroughly.

In addition, Xie Shen checks his weaknesses every day according to the teachings taught by Confucius in the school, and conducts consolidation training against the notes written by Wang Shouren. After a month, it can be said that it has achieved a lot.

As for Kongmeng Academy, it also played its due role.Xie Pi and Wang Shouwen's foundation in Confucianism is not bad, even better than Xie Shen's. With them discussing together, Xie Shen's improvement is very fast.

This day's ten-day class was over, and it happened to be the day of rest. As usual, all the students had a five-day vacation.Xie Pi invited Wang Shouwen and Xie Shen to have a drink at the Drunken Man Building in the west of the city.Wang Shouwen was born in a noble family so naturally he didn't think it was a big deal, but Xie Shen was overjoyed.After several days in the academy, I have long since gotten tired of eating food.Wouldn't it be nice for Xie Pi to take the initiative to invite students from Kongmeng School to have a drink now.

Said that there were no more than three people in the Kongmeng Academy, they all got into the Xie Manor's carriage and galloped towards the west of the city.

Yuyao City is not very big, and soon the carriage stopped in front of the Drunkard Tower.

Xie Pi, Wang Shouwen, and Xie Shen jumped off the carriage one by one, and entered the restaurant under the wait of the servants.

Zuiwenglou is the largest restaurant in Yuyao City, and most of the guests it receives are local wealthy gentlemen.The young servants in this kind of place are the ones who watch people talk. One of them is the son-in-law of the Simen Xie family, and the other is the young man of the Shangtang Wang family. Naturally, they have smiling faces, and they can't wait to squeeze a few drops of honey from their eyes. Juice comes.

And Xie Shen is obviously one of the more neglected ones.However, he was traveling with the two of them, so the boy was a bit scrupulous and did not dare to show too much disdain.

The young man led in front and stopped beside a private room by the window.

This private room has an inner window to see the garden view instead of the street view, so it is extremely quiet.

Xie Pi pointed to the scenery outside the window with great satisfaction and said, "Brother Shen, what do you think of this scene?"

Xie Shen said indifferently: "It's better to have a good scene, and to be able to sit at the same table with the two of you and drink good wine, any scenery is very good."

Wang Shouwen clapped his hands and exclaimed: "Brother Shenxian is very true. It is a great fate for the three of us to get to know each other. It doesn't matter what happens!"

The servant swiftly brought the food and wine to the private room and placed them on a plate one by one, and said respectfully: "Young masters, please take your time, if you need anything, just say hello."

Xie Pi waved his hand, and the servant bowed and retreated knowingly.

After the boy left, Wang Shouwen said with some displeasure: "These untouchables are the most filthy, have you seen the way he looks at Brother Shen Xian, just because he dares to look down on Brother Shen Xian?"

Xie Pi frowned and said, "Such a person is so short-sighted, there is no need for Brother Shen to get angry with him."

Xie Shen didn't feel angry with that boy at all.There is a saying that don't bully the young and poor. In the Ming Dynasty, there was still a glimmer of hope for the children of the poor family to leap into the dragon's gate, and that was the imperial examination.

As long as you can pass the exam, you can become an official and become a part of the ruling class.Even if you only get the title of scholar, you are still a superior existence among the common people. You are exempted from all corvee and taxes, and you can enjoy the courtesy of not kneeling before seeing officials.

But those low-level handymen are absolutely hopeless, they can only pant heavily among the dogs and dogs, and live on.

Scholars are like this, the eyes others cast on you will completely change because of your status.

They can sneer and shout that they are worthless scholars, or they can sigh in admiration that everything is inferior and only reading is high.

The decisive factor in all this is the word fame.

How many people have been mistaken by fame and fame, the picture is the special treatment enjoyed after obtaining fame and fame.

"Stop talking, drink!"

Although the oldest of the three of them was only 13 years old, there was no problem drinking at this age in the Ming Dynasty.After all, many children from peasant families marry wives and have children at the age of 15, and at the age of 13 they can already be regarded as half adults in Yuyao.

These scholarly young men have already tasted all the fine wines in the world. Although they can't be said to be drunk after drinking a thousand cups, they still won't feel drunk after two or three cups.

Needless to say, Xie Shen, he did not know how many high-grade baijiu he drank in his previous life, and drinking these so-called spirits from the Ming Dynasty was as easy as playing house.

Just when the three of them were having a drink and enjoying themselves, they heard a noise outside the door.

But with a bang, the attendant was kicked in from the door and smashed hard on the wine table.

"Oh, it hurts so much."

The young man probably hurt his waist, he was rolling in pain, his nose was streaming down with tears, the scene was extremely embarrassing.

Xie Shen was taken aback, and just about to get up to see what happened, a dozen strong men in bunts surrounded him.

Xie Pi and Wang Shouwen stood up and walked to Xie Shen's side. They didn't bring too many followers because they came to drink today, but they were not worried.Given their family background, few people in Yuyao city dare to touch them.

There was a faint smirk coming from behind these dozen strong men, Xie Shen knew without a doubt that it must be Sun Ruoxu.

"Coin, what a coincidence!"

Sun Ruoxu walked in waving his folding fan, his face full of pride.He is fourteen this year, and his body has already developed and is no different from that of an adult man.

He waved his fan and said with a smile, "Brother Xie Shen, you are living comfortably with Confucius."

Naturally, Xie Shen would not be afraid of him, and replied coldly: "Of course it's much more comfortable than living with Old Master Liu. Why, the young master of the Sun family in Zhuhu Lake is tired of living and wants to come to Sanwei Academy to study? I just don't know if I can live. Passed the entrance exam."

Faced with Xie Shen's cynicism, Sun Ruoxu couldn't bear it anymore.

He snorted coldly and said, "My young master is too lazy to continue playing tricks with you here. Last time you turned black and white in front of the county venerable and caused my old steward to be punished with a cane. Tell me what to do!"

Xie Shen sneered again and again: "This Xie doesn't understand. The case was decided by the county magistrate, how could it be influenced by Xie in the end? Could it be that Mr. Sun means that the county magistrate judged the case unfairly?"
