The seventy-eighth dragon scales (three)

Linglong felt that if a person's mood could be presented to his face, then Dad Zhu and Mother Zhu should be the same at this moment. The three big words "Minghuang" are: Is it poisonous?

In order to show that it is not poisonous, she took the chopsticks and picked up a piece of fish and put it in her mouth, and then picked it up with the public chopsticks and gave it to Mr. Zhu: "Mom, try it, the rice cooked by Xingyuan is so delicious. It's not much worse than the chefs in my family!"

My mother Zhu tasted it carefully and immediately showed a look of surprise. When Dad Zhu saw that the old woman had a secret expression, she also took a bite.

There was nothing to say next. After everyone had a round belly, Dad Zhu looked at his younger son with surprise. He was too lazy to be outrageous on weekdays, but he didn't expect that he had a good cooking skills!

Zhu Xingyuan was still looking at him from Zhu Dad Zhu. Zhu Dad Zhu then turned the house around and was clean and neat. When he saw the people living here, he was very good at living. The heart of the two elders, hanging in the air, finally put down. The youngest son had basically no hope of taking the exam for a scholar, but no matter what, after marrying such a wealthy wife, they don’t want their eyes to be opened one day because of their youngest son’s laziness...

It’s good to be able to work, it’s good to be willing to work, and as long as you live a good life, you won’t starve to death.

The two elders are relieved.

Then they observed that their Sier was not only diligent in cooking and cleaning the house, but also very diligent in other aspects. After a few days like this, Daddy was thinking about discussing the future of the matter with his youngest son, but he couldn't just sit there and spend his time? No matter how rich his daughter-in-law is, it is also the money of his daughter-in-law. A manly man, how can he ask his daughter-in-law to raise his wife for the rest of his life?

Dad Zhu was very gentle. He carried a hoe early in the morning and knocked on the door next door, asking Zhu Xingyuan to go downstairs with him to shave peanuts.

Zhu Xingyuan was shocked, but Dad Zhu looked serious and secretly looked behind him. He was sure that his daughter-in-law had not followed him. Then he whispered to Zhu Xingyuan: "Si'er, Dad is not trying to get tired of you, but think about it, you haven't passed the scholar for many years, how can you live in the future? You can't ask your wife to spend all her dowry, right? Listen to Dad, let's go to the field to see you. Not to mention wealth and honor, at least as long as you are willing to do it, we will not have to worry about food and clothing."

Zhu Xingyuan said: "Dad, I still want to take the exam for scholarship."

When Dad Zhu heard this, he became frowning. Although the youngest daughter-in-law said that she would support her younger son in the future to take the exam, to be honest, Dad Zhu really doesn’t have any hope. If the scholar is so easy to take the exam, his youngest son will be able to take the exam for so many years? There is also an old boy who failed the exam in the next village! Now, don’t you give up and stop taking the exam? Some people are born to have no fate!

But he couldn't understand his younger son. Since he insisted on taking the exam, Dad Zhu had no choice. Now that he was separated, nothing he said would work. He just hoped that Sier could see the reality clearly after hitting a wall. It would be good to have a scholar at home, but if he couldn't, there was nothing he could do. The ancestral grave did not smoke, who would you ask for to reason?

Linglong lay on the bed, her quilt was lifted open, and her warm body came back. She snuggled over and muttered, "What are you asking you for early in the morning?"

Zhu Xingyuan stretched his eyebrows and eyes: "I'm asking me to go to the field to work."

"Ah?" Linglong was stunned, then shook her head, "No, I won't agree."

Let such a handsome man go to the field to work? Isn’t that overuse of his talent? How can he do this beauty?

"I refused." He adjusted his posture and hugged Linglong in his arms, laughing, "I told him that I still want to take the exam for scholar."

The two elders' starting point is good, but they don't go to work in the fields. They don't look down on such work, but they are not as good as the ratio of their efforts to their income. They have a better way of survival, so why do they need to go to the fields? Not to mention that they can be exempted from tax after being admitted to the scholar. I think the old Zhu family also understands this truth. They only worked hard for him to study a few years ago. However, Zhu Xiaosi is not a material for studying, and he can't pass the exam after taking the exam, and his family doesn't have hope.

Stop the loss in time, Zhu Xingyuan does not think there is anything wrong.

"It's the exam." Linglong rubbed in his arms, "You can't even take the exam casually, and you don't even have to read books."

He chuckled: "I am so confident in me."

"Of course."

"Then I have to take the exam well, at least I have to make you the top lady, otherwise it would be embarrassing."

"Yeah." Linglong nodded, "Come on."

It was so perfunctory that he wanted to sleep at first glance. Zhu Xingyuan kept laughing, and his chest was slightly shaken. Linglong felt uncomfortable and hit him. Zhu Xingyuan immediately looked very painful. However, he had used this trick. Linglong looked at him coldly and ruthlessly. After a while, the two of them laughed out loud and pulled the quilt up.

Of course, I have to take the exam for the scholar. Although the teacher in the private school cannot teach anything, I have been persisting in the idleness like Zhu Xiaosi for many years. If someone else had kicked this kid out, so as not to ruin his reputation and make people think that he could not teach a good student.

Zhu Xingyuan stayed at home for a few days before going to the town and gave a gift to his husband.

After seeing that his temperament changed drastically, he looked at him as different as two people. After studying his knowledge, he found that he had been a thousand miles a day. He was shocked and happy. He thought that no one knew when he would be able to get enlightened in his life. I think that Zhu Xingyuan would get enlightened after getting married!

Zhu Xingyuan, who was "open-minded", was not only knowledgeable, but also treated people completely differently from usual. The husband was overjoyed, so he felt that his years of hard work had not been in vain. Originally, he thought that if Zhu Xingyuan failed the exam this year, he would go to the Zhu family and tell the two elders of the Zhu family that they should stop wasting this money. It is not easy to support a scholar. Just pen, ink, paper and inkstone is a huge sum of money. It would be fine if he had hope of passing the exam. Based on Zhu Xiaosi's previous performance, it would be obvious that he would not succeed.

After visiting the teacher, Zhu Xingyuan took a walk around the town and bought some food that he could see.

After that, he stayed at home in the name of studying behind closed doors.

The villagers of Dashitou Village have heard of Zhu Xiaosi's study for many times. Everyone has nothing to do in their spare time, and some people are opening the market, betting whether Zhu Xiaosi can pass the exam this time. What is sad is that there is no gambling, which leads to the fact that this market cannot be opened.

When Dad Zhu found out that the villagers were making fun of his youngest son, he was so angry that he almost drove the leaders out of the land with a hoe!

Zhu Xingyuan was unaware of this. He was not in a hurry after a few months before the county examination. Before that, he was looking for some way to make money. Dashitou Village was not suitable for their lives, and they could not live here for the rest of their lives.

Dad Zhu and Mother Zhu knew that Yao'er was going to take the exam for a scholar, but they looked quite hard. Anyway, they stayed in their doors every day, and now they were separated, so they couldn't come to check whether Yao'er was studying or lazy. I just hope that if she failed this exam, Yao'er could relax her mind and not have any more delusions in the future.

Even taking the exam for a scholar was defined as the delusional Zhu Xingyuan stayed at home, and he only flipped through books every day, spending most of his time having fun with Linglong.

For him, it was a piece of cake to get a scholar and it didn't take any time to get a scholar.

In this way, time passed by. When it was the February county examination, Zhu Xingyuan went to the town again and asked the teacher in the private school to protect him. The teacher had already protected him several times and was very skilled. The only thing was that he didn't know if he, a disciple, could pass the exam this time...

In addition, you also need to protect each other with the other four candidates. I wish Xiaosi a popularity... A lazy man who usually depends on his parents to serve him when he is clothes and food at home, and he wishes he could lie in bed all his life. No matter how smart a person is, how much time do you expect him to spend studying?

So before Zhu Xingyuan left the private school, he was mocked by his former classmates.

A scholar wearing a blue long gown and a literary look shook his folding fan. It was actually quite cold in February. Zhu Xingyuan didn't know why he could still wave a fan and wear so little. Maybe he was a bit rustic and could not understand this elegance.

The scholar glanced at Zhu Xingyuan. Zhu Xingyuan had to go home after he had completed insurance with others. The county examination will not leave Linglong alone at home and will take her with him.

When Zhu Xingyuan passed by him, the scholar shook the folding fan gracefully and sighed: "I don't know if some people can pass the exam this year."

There were several other classmates standing with him, some in the village and some in the town. Anyway, I don’t have a big deal with Zhu Xiaosi, mainly because Zhu Xiaosi is lazy and too lazy to do things. He can run with anyone who gives him good things and has no backbone, but he can’t resist having a good face, and even the husband is reluctant to say a few harsh words to him. Wouldn’t this cause others’ attention?

It's really funny. It's just a child, but he failed the exam for several years. It's a joke.

"If I hadn't been to the scholar for so many years, I would have been ashamed to jump into the river and commit suicide!" Another scholar shook his head, looking heartbroken. "My parents at home saved money to study. I paid the money, but I didn't come to the private school for several months. Do you really think that I was Wenquxing, who came to earth?"

"Hahahaha, Brother Wang, do you really believe in the saying that Wenquxing came to earth! That is just a cover for some people's incompetence! If Wenquxing really is, how could he not even pass a small county exam!"

Several people were so proud of mocking that they thought Zhu Xiaosi would go crazy. After all, this guy could not withstand teasing others before. If anyone said something bad about him, his face turned red for a long time and didn't know how to fight back. His classmates gradually liked teasing him.

Unexpectedly, Zhu Xingyuan passed by them without even looking at them, causing the three of them to froze on their faces in embarrassment, without changing for a long time.

This person pays attention to them, they feel that the other party can't hold back, and they ignore them, and they feel embarrassed again.

"Hey, Zhu Xingyuan!"

Zhu Xingyuan turned a deaf ear to him and slandered him like this. He didn't know how many times he had heard of it. If he had been angry and sad about it every time, he wouldn't have to live.

As for getting angry, it is not because he knows what kind of person he is, and there is no need to be as knowledgeable as such people. However, if his eldest lady is there, he will definitely protect him. So Zhu Xingyuan slowly turned around and said, "You should be glad that I am the only one here today."

The three of them looked at each other and didn't understand what he meant.

Two days later, the county examination was about to begin, and these three people understood what Zhu Xingyuan meant that day. It turned out that this person had to bring his wife with him when he took the county examination!

The scholar surnamed Wang had a rather humble mouth. Seeing that Zhu Xingyuan was inseparable from the woman wearing a veil, he laughed and said, "Brother Zhu, a good man is determined by all directions. Since Zhu is reluctant to give up his wife at home, he even has to take him with him in the county examination. Why don't he bring his mother at home? In this way, some people have a red sleeve and some people have to wash and cook for clothes. Isn't it beautiful?"

Zhu Xingyuan's eyes turned cold. Others said that he didn't care, but he could never do it.

Linglong didn't let him speak, but said with a smile: "I see that your Yin Tang is black. I'm afraid you will suffer today. I advise you to stay away from the water."

The scholar surnamed Wang's face turned dark: "Brother Zhu! I'm kindly advising you, but Brother Zhu has given birth to a mouth that is unforgivable!"

Linglong narrowed her eyes, and no one could see clearly what was going on in the next second. The scholar surnamed Wang suddenly fell down and lay down. When he got up, his mouth was covered in blood. I wonder if his teeth had been knocked off. People around him quickly helped him up, but the county examination was about to be tested and it was difficult to leave. However, this mouth would be impossible to speak in a short period of time.

The scholar surnamed Wang became more and more angry the more he thought about it. Until the exam began, the anger in his heart could not be released. So his movements were a little larger when grinding the ink, and then the tragedy happened - the bowl of water used to grind the ink, each candidate had a bowl, which was distributed by the county government himself, and just banged it overturned by his sleeve!

From the test questions to the roll paper, everything was wet!

The scholar surnamed Wang looked pale!

You should know that although the county exam is not strict, it can only take this exam once a year, and candidates are not allowed to whisper in the middle! Once his paper is ruined, the invigilator will not give him new ones!

Suddenly, the candidate named Wang was in despair and sat in the exam number for a while but couldn't speak. After a while, he started to cry!

He attracted the inspectors. He heard that Qingshui had knocked over the test papers, but the servant didn't say much, and asked him whether he would leave the examination room or continue to stay. The candidate surnamed Wang was so sad that he had to go out. He knew that this year was in vain and could only wait for the next February to take the exam.

It was obvious that he had brought a water bowl on his sleeve, but at this time he blamed Zhu Xingyuan's wife. If the woman hadn't cursed him, how could he be so unlucky?!

At this moment, he forgot that he was the one who said he was the one who was so mean.

When I went out, I happened to pass Zhu Xingyuan's exam number, but I saw that the person's papers were filled. I guess he was about to finish writing. The candidate named Wang was shocked. Could it be that Zhu Xingyuan could really pass this year?

Just went out and left directly. The candidate named Wang was resentful, so he endured his red and swollen lips and tongue, standing at the door to wait for Zhu Xingyuan to come out.

What surprised him was that Zhu Xingyuan almost came out with him. Obviously, as soon as he left, Zhu Xingyuan handed over the paper.

The candidate surnamed Wang sat in there for a while, his mouth was better, and although he spoke a little big, he could barely hear it clearly. Seeing that Zhu Xingyuan, the handsome man was handsome and handsome, his temperament alone was different from that of ordinary people, and his heart was full of sour water. In fact, Zhu Xiaosi did not do anything that was angry or resentful in a private school on weekdays, but he was born well and was jealous.

Don’t think that only women will be jealous, as men will be even more terrible.

Seeing Zhu Xingyuan coming out, his face was calm and he was not nervous at all. Wang Shusheng couldn't help but talk indifferently: "Is it a question so early? I don't dare to embarrass you in it?"

Upon hearing this, Zhu Xingyuan glanced at him and said, "My wife reminded Brother Wang that there will be disaster today, and it will be far away from the water. It seems that Brother Wang didn't listen."

When he mentioned the bowl of clear water that ruined his county exam, Wang Shusheng's face turned green, white and black, and the colorful colors were so wonderful! "You dare to say it! If your woman hadn't cursed me, how could I really knock over the clear water and get the test paper wet! This is all your fault!"

Zhu Xingyuan looked at the unlucky person and blamed others: "You said that, I guess you didn't take the county exam last year, which is also my fault."

Although Wang Shusheng did not take the exam for several years like Zhu Xingyuan, this year it was the second time he took the county exam. What he had not passed last year was even more ridiculous when Zhu Xiaosi said it, "I might have passed this year! You are the one who hurt me!"

Zhu Xingyuan was too lazy to pay attention to him, especially his mouth, which might have been a bit cruel before the exam. It was swollen like a sausage now, which was really eye-catching, and he didn't want to look at it anymore.

Linglong came to pick him up, holding the candied haws in one hand and the newly-baked pancakes in the other. She went back to visit and Zhu Xingyuan finished the exam, and she didn't ask her to wait for long. Seeing Wang Shusheng's miserable look, she didn't say comfort, but she was gloating first: "Brother Wang did have a disaster."

After saying that, he said in an old age: "If you don't listen to the old man, you will suffer a loss."

Wang Shusheng was almost angry when he was singing and singing with his wife, but his good brothers were still in the exam. After all, not everyone was handing in the paper as quickly as Zhu Xingyuan, and not everyone was as unlucky as Wang Shusheng.

Zhu Xingyuan took the sesame cake and tore it into half. Because it was very difficult to eat with a veil, but he didn't wear a veil. The residents of the town who had never seen the world always stared at her. Even though they had already restrained themselves, they could not prevent those gazes.

"You can't leave!"

Zhu Xingyuan held Linglong's hand and turned around, "Brother Wang, will he still want us to pay for medical expenses?"

"If you need medical expenses, you have to ask the bluestone slab at the county government office. It will knock you down, but it is not us." Linglong said coldly.
To be continued...
