Yan Jing didn't know about the affairs at Lord Zhou's house.
After writing a book to Li Xiucai and the others that day, the magistrate Zhu specifically mentioned the phrase "what is rare is precious", but Yanjing thought it was very reasonable, so he did not continue to sell his own words for 20 yuan each, but contacted the bookstore. The boss took three days off to buy New Year's goods or something.
Wei Lingxiu also asked for leave.
When he asked for leave, Zhao Xiucai breathed a long sigh of relief.
Zhao Xiucai's family background is average, and his ranking in the examination was average, and he failed to find a good teacher... After taking a township examination, he realized that it was difficult for him to go further, and immediately gave up the scientific examination.
Over the years, he has nothing to do after teaching, and he will continue to study. He has not forgotten his previous knowledge, but his level is really average.
At least, he can't answer some of the questions Wei Lingxiu has raised now.
Sometimes Wei Lingxiu mentioned books that he had never read before!
It was really painful and joyful to receive such a disciple... Zhao Xiucai thought for a while, and shamelessly asked his former classmates for teaching, and by the way, he also praised Wei Lingxiu.
Wei Lingxiu, who was praised by Zhao Xiucai, was being forced to endorse by Yan Jing.
It will be New Year's Day in ten days. In Xing'an Village, several households have been killing pigs recently, but Yanjing simply went to buy a pig and came back.
The pig's head is smeared with salt and waiting for ancestor worship during the Chinese New Year. As for the pork... Half of the pig is marinated and kept to eat slowly, the remaining half is divided into two, and Yanjing left the front legs to eat at home and carry it Pick up the remaining pig hind legs.
When Yan Jingze was marinating the pork, Wei Lingxiu endorsed it beside him. Now that he saw Yan Jingze's actions, he asked curiously, "Brother Yan, what are you doing?"
"Go and deliver meat to my mother." Yan Jing looked at Wei Lingxiu: "Come with me."
"Okay." Wei Lingxiu stood up happily, and then heard Yan Jing said: "You keep going down, if there is something wrong, I will remind you."
In the past ten years, Wei Lingxiu has not read too much, and copied a lot of various Buddhist scriptures. He knows all the words and roughly understands the meaning, but he can't memorize them...
So he is now staring at Wei Lingxiu's endorsement every day.
Wei Lingxiu: "..."
Yan Jing walked in front with the pig's leg, Wei Lingxiu followed behind with the book, and carried the book while walking...
The people of Xing'an Village have already seen it.
Although the children in the village are still afraid of Yan Jingze, those adults have a much better impression of Yan Jingze: "Yan Da seems to have really changed."
"Before he wanted to go to my vegetable farm to get vegetables to eat, he even gave me money!"
"He bought furniture with Lao Liu, and he also gave money."
"It's true that the sun is coming out of the west..."
…
The big change in Yan is really big, and there is that Young Master Wei.
They always thought he would be beaten up by Yan Yan, but he didn't!
Yan Da treats him... well
Can Yanjing not repair Wei Ling? Seeing that Wei Lingxiu couldn't get out on his back, he wanted to kiss him.
Too bad he didn't dare.
When he first had the memory of the original owner, he felt that Wei Lingxiu must have loved the original owner miserably, but after chatting with Wei Lingxiu, he realized that it might not be the case.
Wei Lingxiu would follow him out of the Wei house, maybe it was just that he was bullied in the Wei house and didn't want to stay there anymore.
In the last life, Wei Lingxiu encountered a more serious situation. He was whipped by his family, and his friends avoided him. Maybe he could only stay with the original owner
It's different now!
Now that Wei Lingxiu has other options, will he not like him? But he was reluctant to let Wei Lingxiu rely on him...
Yan Jing was confused.
Wei Lingxiu was also confused.
When they were in the Wei family, they were tricked, but Yanjing always protected him, even making him think that Yanjing liked him, but these days Yanjing has shown nothing...
Does Yanjing... don't like him? Only when he gave Yan Jingze money, was Yan Jing willing to help him
The two walked for an hour before arriving at the village where the original owner's mother was.
The original owner's mother was not beautiful, just an ordinary rural woman. When the original owner's father sold her, he actually gave her to a childless bachelor in the next village next door, and asked her to give birth to the bachelor. .
This bachelor was short and he couldn't work, so he couldn't get a wife. After he had the original owner's mother, he was very kind to the original owner's mother. After the woman, she stood firm.
Before the original owner worked in the casino, she often came here. The original owner's mother's family was poor and would not give the original owner any money, but when the original owner came, she would still stutter... Later, the original owner entered the casino and disliked this stutter. Far away, never came again.
Today, Yan Jing came over. This thin and old woman in her forties was taken aback.
Yan Jing didn't say much, he left a quarter of the pigs behind, gave her a purse with 10 taels of silver, and took Wei Lingxiu away again, continuing to stare at Wei Lingxiu's endorsement.
In Xing'an Village, there are also vegetables and radishes that can be eaten in winter. People also buy dried bamboo shoots and kelp as New Year's goods, so they can eat a lot of things.
When he got home, Yanjing cut up the soaked dried bamboo shoots, and started to chop the pig's trotters, ready to make pig trotters stewed with dried bamboo shoots.
As a result, he was chopping, and suddenly saw a sedan chair being carried here, and a person walking beside the sedan also asked, "Excuse me, is this Mr. Yan's residence?"
"Mr. Yan?" Yan Jing was puzzled.
"It's Mr. Yanjing Zeyan, I heard that he is also called Yan Da, can he live here?" Others asked respectfully, he dressed up as a servant, but he also read books.
"Yes." Yan Jing said, as soon as the knife went down, the pig's trotters were easily chopped open.
"Where is Mr. Yan?" Another voice sounded, Yan Jing raised his head, and saw a middle-aged scholar who looked like a scribe got down from the sedan chair.
"I am Yan Jingze." Yan Jing struck down again.
The middle-aged scribe was speechless: "Don't be joking..."
However, as soon as the middle-aged scribe's voice fell, Li Xiucai, who was behind because of the poor road, caught up: "Master Zhou... Master Zhou, have you met Mr. Yan?"
Middle-aged scribe: "… "
The middle-aged scribes were stunned.
This middle-aged scribe is Lord Zhou from the next county. He loves calligraphy. He was shocked when he saw Li Xiucai and others' greetings that day, and wanted to have a good discussion with Li Xiucai and others.
As a result, Li Xiucai and others actually told him that those prayers were not written by them, but by another person, and all the prayers were written by one person!
Lord Zhou couldn't wait to see this person, so he came over by boat, got off the boat, and hurriedly let someone carry him to find someone.
As a result... this butcher looks like that Mr. Yan with outstanding calligraphy
Lord Zhou was stunned.
Yan Jing finally chopped the pig's trotters: "Everyone, please come in."
When Lord Zhou entered, he saw that there was only a desk in the empty main room. A young man of seventeen or eighteen years old was sitting in front of the desk, reading a book. Other than that, there was nothing.
But he was not disappointed.
Because he approached the desk and saw the words that surprised him.
Yan Jing took the time to read silently to Wei Lingxiu these days, using the fonts he just learned.
It is good to let Wei Lingxiu read more of these good words and improve his appreciation level.
Most importantly...he wants to show off too!
Wei Lingxiu praised him every day these days!
Now, these Wei Lingxiu are holding the endorsement paper, held by Lord Zhou, like a treasure.
Yanjing had to show his skills to Lord Zhou. Because Lord Zhou never left, he also invited Lord Zhou to stay for dinner and ate a meal of boiled pork trotters with dried bamboo shoots.
He bought a bed and a table. The carpenter in the village, Lao Liu, hadn't finished it yet. The table and chairs for Lord Zhou's dinner were borrowed by Lord Zhou's entourage from the farm next door.
Then, Yan Jing made another profit from Lord Zhou.
It is really easy for a scholar to make money. Of course, it is so easy, mainly because he is too smart!
"When you pass the exam, you can go to the old man to discuss knowledge with the old man." Master Zhou said to Yanjing before leaving.
Li Xiucai was envious, but thinking of Yan Jingze's talent, he took it for granted.
After earning a fortune from Lord Zhou, the bookstore was about to close, so Yan Jing stopped copying books and spent a year at home.
Of course, before that, he didn't forget to let the people in the casino publicize the fact that Lord Zhou came to his house.
As a result, there were rumors in Donggu County: "Have you heard of it? Lord Zhou from the next county went to the Yan Family."
"Why did he talk to everyone?"
"Maybe it has something to do with Wei Lingxiu..."
"Didn't you say that Wei Lingxiu's mother's family is very powerful?"
…
Wei Zhiyuan, who finally moved his clan to kick Wei Lingxiu out of the house: "..."
Okay, now he doesn't dare to do it.
Wei Lingxiu's mother's surname is Zhou, and the surname of Lord Zhou next door is also Zhou. Are they related
He has been oppressed by the Zhou family for so many years, and he will still be oppressed... Wei Zhiyuan felt more and more aggrieved the more he thought about it, but there was nothing he could do.
Years ago, the bed and table that Yan Jingze bought were delivered, and they could finally sleep comfortably without having to eat on the desk.
In addition, Yanjing also made the clothes that people made for him and so on.
It's just that even if he wears a long gown, he still doesn't look like a scholar...
Fortunately, he hasn't basked in the sun much recently, and he's actually a lot whiter!
New Year's Eve, the county exam is about to begin!
Yanjing already has a Lin Sheng who can bail him out, so he and Wei Lingxiu will need to find another three Tong Sheng, and the five will bail each other out.
Is this candidate...
In a school run by a scholar in the town, some students are in class.
On the top, suddenly a big man in a long gown came in from outside.
"I heard that there is Tong Sheng here who can't find anyone to protect each other? Why don't you come with me?" Yan Jing grinned at the scholar.
That Xiucai was stunned: "Yan Da?"
"It's me." Yan Jing said.
"You are so courageous, you came to me to make a fool of yourself... why don't you go out soon!" The scholar slapped the table and said.
Yan Jing's face turned cold, stared at him and said, "What did you say?"
The scholar trembled subconsciously: "No... I didn't say anything."
