farmer's daughter

Chapter 326
Chapter 320
Speaking of a group of people entering Beijing, several carriages can form a mighty momentum, and the carriage driven by Liang Zhongqiu is the first.Sitting in the car were his in-laws and his youngest son who were rushing for the exam.After driving out of Qingyang Mansion for dozens of miles, it was noon.Choose a woods to rest.Everyone got out of the carriage to stretch their arms and legs.They are all men, so I will go to the woods for convenience.

here.Zhuang Xiuwen and two villagers set up a small iron pot, ready to boil some hot water to eat with the cake.Fortunately, when passing a small river ahead, Zhuang Xiuwen deliberately went down to fetch a can of water and put it on the carriage. Although it was a bit bumpy to get out, there was still more than half of it.

The water boiled, and Zhuang Xiuwen found several bowls out of nowhere, so everyone ate a bowl for three or two people, and ate cakes.On the opposite side of the grove, there were a few shorter trees, and a crooked man in a thin long gown came out from behind the tree.Carrying a burden, it seems that he has traveled a lot.This person looked directly at Liang Shengyue who was sitting on the ground, and walked straight towards him. His handsome face looked a little pale, and he looked weak, but when he walked in front of Liang Shengyue, he straightened his clothes , made a salute:

"Mr. Liang, student Yuan Conghai. Can I ask for some water?"

"Yuan Conghai? You are Yuan Conghai? Why are you here?"

Liang Sheng looked at the young man in front of him in astonishment.This Yuan Conghai had never seen Liang Shengyue before, but he had heard of this person Liang Shengyue.It is said that his studies are very good, but his family is poor.His parents died early, and his elder brother and sister-in-law were in charge of the family.The sister-in-law naturally thinks that this person who can only read has wasted the family's money.So after Yuan Conghai's mother died, the elder brother still supported him for another half a year.Later, I really couldn't afford the money, and my sister-in-law was unwilling to borrow money.This person was forced to drop out of school and return home to farm.Even the gentlemen of the academy felt sorry for this person. Liang Shengyue only came to this academy to teach at that time, so he heard about this child's paintings.

But I don't know how he recognized himself.

Liang Shengyue stood up, stretched out his hand to support Yuan Conghai and said:

"Sit down first, I have hot water here. There are cakes. Eat something first and then talk."

Yuan Conghai didn't refuse either, Liang Shengyue took another bag from the carriage, took out some sugar from it and handed it to Yuan Conghai first:

"Eat this candy first, then drink some water. Then eat the cake."

Liang Zhongqiu and others could see it.This Yuan Conghai looked like he hadn't eaten for several days, and he was still walking. It seemed that he was hungry and tired.I don't know how to give sugar to others when the sound gets louder.Isn't this eating candy a child?

Yuan Conghai followed Liang Shengyue's words without hesitation.First eat the sugar, then drink the water, and then eat the cake.Looking at Liang Zhongqiu's suspicious eyes, Liang Sheng said lightly:

"This is taught by Xueer. Xueer said that when encountering this kind of person who has not eaten for a long time and is weak and looks like he is about to faint, it is best to eat some candy first. Then eat."

Yuan Conghai didn't care about Liang Shengyue's words, but just ate the cake with his head down.Liang Shengyue said again:

"Eat slowly, chew more before swallowing, or your stomach will feel uncomfortable. Don't eat too much, just eat some later. Don't worry, you won't be hungry when you meet us."

This time Yuan Conghai paused, he didn't eat so fast.Take small bites.Zhuang Xiuwen on the side also handed him a small paper bag, opened it, and found a few pieces of meat inside.Yuan Conghai shook his hand, looked up at Liang Shengyue and said:

"Mr. Liang, there is no need for this."

Liang Sheng nodded and said:
"It's okay, you can eat. We are all ready."

Yuan Conghai turned his head to look at Liang Zhongqiu, and he could tell that Liang Zhongqiu was the oldest among the group. When he saw Liang Zhongqiu also had such a paper bag in his hand, Yuan Conghai lowered his head. Just as he was about to eat it, he suddenly thought of something and Put the meat down.

Yuan Conghai didn't eat meat, so he ate a few more mouthfuls of pancakes.Liang Shengyue didn't want him to eat any more pancakes, but told him to sit down and rest for a while before eating.Yuan Conghai ate the candy and then the cake.Although I still feel hungry, my spirit is much better.After Liang Shengyue sat down, Yuan Conghai stood up, bowed deeply to Liang Shengyue and said:

"Mr. Liang is going to Beijing? Can you give me a ride?"

Liang Sheng nodded and said:
"It's okay, just follow us later. We have a carriage. Are you going to catch the exam? But how long will you walk like this? I'm afraid you'll pass the exam when you get there."

Yuan Conghai lowered his head and seemed to sort out his emotions and said:

"I want to go to Beijing. I also know that I won't be able to catch up with this time. I just find something to do in the capital and wait for the next exam."

"Oh, then you have to stay in the capital for two or three years. Does your family know?"

Yuan Conghai didn't speak, and after being bored for a long time, he choked up and said in a low voice:
"I don't have a home anymore. My home is where I am. This is all my belongings."

As he spoke, he patted a burden on his back. To be honest, although he was wearing a long gown, which was worn by a scholar, this long gown was much shorter, not to mention patched. Three or four years.People grow taller and their clothes shorter.

Liang Sheng fell silent for a while and said:

"I heard that both your parents have passed away. Do you still have an older brother?"

Yuan Conghai hummed lightly and said:
"I don't know how to do farm work. My sister-in-law said that I don't want to raise disabled people. So I discussed with my brother and separated my family. Because I spent my family's money on studying in those years, the land that should be allocated to me was converted into money and returned to me. Brother. I only have these few books and a set of clothes made by my mother. Because the people in the clan couldn’t read them, they scolded my brother and sister-in-law, so they left me for this year. After the year, they let me go Get out."

"I walked out of the village from the third day of junior high school and kept walking. I only drank some river water and didn't eat anything along the way. In Fucheng, I was hungry and wanted to ask for something to eat, but I felt that I had lost the face of a scholar. I endured it and walked out Fucheng, but I didn’t see anyone along the way. So, I didn’t eat until I met Mr.

Liang Sheng sighed more, and couldn't help thinking of Xuejian Jiaochengwen's words in his heart:
"You are a scholar who is useless! Sure enough, you can't even ask for a stutter. If you didn't meet your own group, you might starve to death?"

Liang Sheng nodded and said:
"By the way, you also passed the examination of scholar, why didn't you think of teaching some children? How did you know me?"

Yuan Conghai looked up at Liang Shengyue and said:

"I went to eavesdrop on my husband's lecture. My family has no money to pay the tuition. I went to the college quietly and listened to the teacher's lecture outside the wall. I also wanted to teach, but my mother passed away last year. I am still in the filial age, and the children of other people will not teach me. I came to Beijing this time because I thought that I would not be able to catch up on foot this time. As long as I can reach the capital in the next few years, I will take the next exam."

Only then did Liang Shengyue understand the reason why he didn't eat meat, it turned out to be filial piety.
