Chapter 18 Subdued

The gray sky, the gray hills, the gray villages, the gray coarse cloth clothes, and even the last highlight, many golden crops were gradually harvested, revealing the barren land.

The group seemed to have arrived in hell on earth.

On the other side, Wang Ju put down the sickle in his hand.

"It hurts so much," he said in his heart.

After several days of harvesting, blood bubbles were grinding out of the palm of your hand.

"It was a long time since I had harvested the crops..."

In his previous life, Wang Ju suffered a lot, and his body suffered a lot, but he was finally too weak and lacked physical strength. Harvest was the most tiring and bitterest time in farm work. After a few days of harvest, Wang Ju finally felt a little overwhelmed.

I wonder how the little princess was going back? Did that official family listen to their own opinions?

Wang Ju thought to himself.

The group came over.

Zhu Jun collapsed to the ground as if he was relieved and asked weakly: "Brother, Yang Dalang, Li Erlang, You Sanlang, Li Xiaoma... Why are you here?"

There were many people coming. Zhu Qing brought a few servants driving ox carts, two middle-aged people. They were blacksmiths invited by the Zhu family, Zhu Jun's elder brother Zhu Qi, and three young men about the same size as Zhu Jun. They were all Zhu Jun's friends, a pretty girl, who was the little lady of the Zhao family and Zhu Jun's fiancée.

Zhu Xi was from the Southern Song Dynasty. In fact, the Southern Song Dynasty did not form that kind of evil view of chastity, let alone the Northern Song Dynasty.

Especially in the Western Xia, Qiang women were extremely fierce, and they could rob salt with men and kill Song people with the same army. There were no female soldiers in Yanzhou, but the atmosphere was influenced by the Qiang people and was more open than the mainland.

It is not uncommon for Mrs. Zhao Si to see her fiancé.

A pair of little kids who are about the same as Erniu and Sanniu. They are Zhu Jun's younger brothers and the children born to Zhu Huan's concubine.

There is also a young man in his early twenties, Zhu Jun’s eldest brother Zhu Qi, and an eleven-year-old little loli, Li Wan’s younger sister, who is extremely pretty.

Madam Zhao Si walked over with heartache, picked up Zhu Jun's hand, and shouted at Wang Ju: "You kid, why should Erlang endure hardship!"

Zhu Qi shook the fan in his hand, stretched out his other hand and made an orchid finger, saying, "It's good to endure hardship, but you don't know how bitter it is, but you know how sweet it is."

He looks more beautiful than Zhu Jun, but Wang Ju always feels strange, especially his eyes sweeping around, Wang Ju has no reason to feel that the chrysanthemums are cold...

Homosexuality was not a disaster in ancient times. Especially in the Ming Dynasty, even if it was not raised in the family, it could not be called a literati and official. Some literati and poets were even proud of being sick with flowers and willows.

Wang Ju obviously didn't know that Zhu Qi, the eldest son of the Zhu family, only liked male style and was not close to female colors...

Therefore, he just felt that Zhu Qijun was so handsome that he was a little weird, and his eyes were a little strange. He swept around and made the back of his butt cold. However, Wang Ju's eyes were quickly attracted by Zhu Jun and his fiancée.

Zhu Jun rudely pushed away the hand of Mrs. Zhao Si and shouted, "What a kid, you're rude to speak!"

In some aspects, Wang Ju has been respected by Zhu Jun.

Wang Jurao was interested in watching Zhu Jun's rough movements.

He wouldn't think that Zhu Jun did this for himself, would there be any hidden information in the middle?

Where is the evil arranged marriage?

Wang Ju saw another interesting scene. Facing his fiancé's rude behavior, Madam Zhao Si did not refute it. Instead, she was like a wronged little wife, pinching the corner of her clothes uneasy.

Please absolutely believe that even in the later years of Emperor Renzong of Song, except for a very small number of families, there was no such thing as the Three Obediences and Four Virtues in this era. Otherwise, there would be no jokes about the Lion Roar of Hedong and Xia Shun's wife.

Either family background, Yanzhou has not even had a Jinshi, so let alone the gentry, so they can only compete in wealth and the strength of family members. Is there a big family, there is Li Shibin, a Dangxiang man, but with the Battle of Sanchuankou, this transcendent family also disappeared in the long river of history. There are some Qiang tribes, which are not very large in scale, let alone Han people. Or they can compete in official positions. As far as Wang Ju knows, no one in the Zhu family was an official. Therefore, they can only compete in wealth.

Wang Ju, the Zhao and Zhu families, don’t know the financial resources, but you can look at the clothes. The silk clothes Zhao Si Madam was wearing were very exquisite. I don’t know where it was. The jade hairpin on her head shone with a crystal clear luster in the autumn. It seems that the price is also very expensive. From this point of view, the Zhao family should be considered a rich family.

Is it true that in the eyes of the Song people, Zhu Jun’s appearance is unparalleled, and Zhao Xiaosi’s appearance is only average, and his aesthetic views are so different?

"Yang Dalang, Li Erlang, You Sanlang are my classmates, and this one is Wang Dalang," Zhu Jun introduced.

Brothers in the class are classmates and can also be called classmates, classmates, schoolmates, schoolmates, teachers, classmates, classmates, classmates, classmates, classmates, classmates, classmates, classmates, classmates, classmates, classmates are the most elegant title.

As a nerd, don’t say that after a few days, even after a few months, it won’t be corrected immediately.

"I have seen a few brothers," Wang Ju bowed, then looked at Zhu Qing and the two strange middle-aged men.

"This is Blacksmith Zhong, this is Blacksmith Sun." Zhu Qing introduced.

Although Yuan Heizi is from Wangjiazhai and is considered his own, his skills are still a little worse. But Wang Ju is not good at talking about it.

The sword is only the first step at the moment. No matter which small carbonized steel kiln or the quenching process, it must be improved, and even the materials used must be corrected.

In fact, if there is sufficient funds and conditions permit, Wang Ju can even make a simple primitive hydraulic press, or use different iron ore combinations, and maybe some tough alloy can be made in advance, but it is definitely impossible in Wangjiazhai, and there is no such condition. Moreover, this R&D cost will be an astronomical figure in this era.

But the craftsmanship at hand can be improved, so a more sophisticated blacksmith must come and help.

The two blacksmiths have good skills, but they don’t even respect Zhu Qing. At most, it would be good to treat them better.

However, on the contrary, in Wang Ju's heart, they are the people they respect the most!

"I have met two of you, and the village has arranged it. Please come with me." Wang Ju said politely.

This is the reaction of the generation of gaps in the times.

The Zhu family was very polite to Wang Ju. It was not only a monster, but a monster who knew how to read was the real monster. But they didn't take it seriously to two crafty blacksmiths.

On the contrary, Wang Ju was obviously Zhu Jun's friend, a student of the provincial school, and a child of a wealthy family. Wang Ju stayed away from him and held a respectful attitude towards the two blacksmiths.

Wang Ju left with two blacksmiths.

Yang Du looked at Zhu Jun, looking a little embarrassed. He was working, and he could still expect to look good when facing the loess. His clothes were covered with mud and sweating profusely. So he said, "Erlang, why are you doing this?"

"My father told me."

"Shi Bo actually has such wonderful ideas..." You Tao couldn't help but shake his head.

Can you hope your son will become a success by enduring hardships?

"Don't underestimate this young man." Zhu Qing said from the side.

Yang Du, You Tao and Li Wan have a good relationship with Zhu Jun. Zhu Qing has heard of it for a little, otherwise he would not have come to visit Zhu Jun. But these three young people are of different quality, especially Yang Du and Li Wan are more arrogant.

He was afraid that Yang and Li would say something bad.

Although this young man is poor and is also very arrogant, even more arrogant than Yang and Li, and is decisive. Although his wisdom is amazing, Zhu Qing also saw that Wang Ju is definitely not a generous person.

"Did you underestimate him?" Yang couldn't help laughing.

"Dalang, Zhu Bo is right, this son must not be underestimated."

Everyone, have fun.

Yang Du asked strangely with that thin figure: "He is just a child."

"You are no more than a few years older than him." Zhu Qi continued to point with orchids up.

"It's not what you think," Zhu Jun carefully recalled his experiences over the past few days.

It’s not Wang Ju’s independence, sophistication and wit, Zhu Jun is still a nerd, and it’s hard to detect the preciousness in it.

What he likes is Wang Ju's knowledge.

Perhaps Wang Ju's calligraphy can only be neat and not attracted his attention, nor as good as the words written by Zhu Jun himself.

There are also many mistakes in his notes and self-study experience, at least in Zhu Jun's point of view.

But in addition to this, there are many places that still make Zhu Jun admire. Even occasionally, Zhu Jun benefited a lot in exchange of classical and classical articles and poems.

If Wang Ju is his "classmate", that's fine, but Wang Ju is just a thirteen-year-old boy, and all this knowledge has been explored by himself. Even Zhu Jun suspected that if Wang Ju had systematically studied for one or two years, at least his knowledge would be better than those professors in the state school.

Therefore, he said solemnly: "If possible, he might be able to sing a name at Donghuamen in the future."

Just this sentence, everyone is stunned together.

The three sons of the Zhu family, and the concubine gave birth to Zhu Xiaosan, was still young, and I couldn't tell anything. The Zhu family was a manly man. After several years of marriage, he didn't give birth to children, and even his wife was still the same... Zhu Xiaoer was a nerd, so it was said to be a laughing stock in Yanzhou.

But you must never underestimate Zhu Er's knowledge.

In the state school, his knowledge is relatively excellent, and he has a high chance of taking the exam in the future.

Just a pick-up.

As for the Jinshi, Yanzhou sent many candidates to Beijing for the exam, but who passed the Jinshi? In the decades since the founding of the Song Dynasty, he only won one student, which had already caused a sensation in Yanzhou.

Singing name outside Donghua Gate?

Who doesn't want to!

When Han Qi and Di Qing were in the northwest, Di Qing, a capable general, Jiao Yong, made a small matter, and Han Qi wanted to kill him. Di Qing came to plead with mercy and said that this person was a good man and had made many military achievements. Han Qi said contemptuously, "Those who sang outside Donghua Gate are good men, he is a good man." The meaning is that even you are not a good man! Then he killed this person in front of Di Qing.

Being able to sing a name outside Donghua Gate was the dream of hundreds of thousands of scholars in the Song Dynasty.

When the sings are held, it is the day when the dragon and snake turn into a dragon!
