Xue Qingshan looked at it carefully, and the pimple was a pimple, and there was nothing unusual about it.
It's just a little red, and it seems that there are small white spots on it, just like ordinary pimples. Because he scratched hard just now, a few were scratched and some transparent water flowed.
It happened that Widow Xue came in with a tray. He felt that this kind of appearance was insulting, so he wiped it off with his clothes and tied his belt.
"There's only so much food at home." Widow Xue said sadly when she saw Xue Qingshan devoured her food.
"What are you worried about, I didn't say before that my parents would take me back soon."
Xue Qingshan still guessed wrong. Although Mr. Xue seemed to be very worried when he went back that day, no matter how troubled the Zhao family was, he did not let go and bring Xue Qingshan back.
Unlike the Zhao family, he thinks more. He did not fill out the family tree delisting himself. He made it in front of so many clansmen. On the other hand, seeing that he could not persuade the old man, Mr. Zhao turned his head and tried to deliver food to his son. He clearly saw it, but did not stop him.
Zhao'er, Zhou and Sun saw that Zhao was busy going in and out, making meat dishes for Xue Qingshan to make up for his body, and at the same time he didn't forget to scold Yang.
Yes, it is to scold Yang.
In fact, what she wanted to scold most was Xue Tingxiang, but she was warned by Mr. Xue that there was no reason for the three-bedroom and four-bedroom, and the recruiting was not involved, so she could only anger the Yang family who was "selling her husband for glory".
In Zhao's eyes, Yang's is to sell her husband for glory. If she hadn't leaked the word, his eldest son wouldn't have been caught and removed from the family tree. Zhao's distressed Er'er is true, but she loves the eldest even more, especially since the eldest is so miserable now that he can't lift his shoulders and hands, but the old man is so cruel to drive him to farm.
Now it is good, the land is not good, and people are falling.
From the most favored eldest daughter-in-law, the Yang family has become a thorn in Zhao's eyes. The more she felt sorry for Xue Qingshan, the more she hated the Yang family.
However, the Yang family is more silent now than before. Since the opening of the school, Xue Juncai has left home and went to the school to go to school. She changed her temperament earlier and went to work on the ground.
He didn't dislike the east or the west like he used to, and he didn't call anyone, and he went to work in the field without saying a word. Now the big house relies on her and Mr. Xue to work together on the ten acres of land. Xue Youcai is now much more obedient. He is not like the monkey he used to be. The situation in the big room has changed everyone. As for whether this change is good or bad, at least it looks good for now.
Xue Qingshan's idea didn't work out, but now he is 'ill', and Zhao is taking care of three meals a day, and the work in the field is done by Mr. Xue, which seems to be no different from before.
He was so tired before that, he just got sick at home in such a grand manner.
After Mr. Zhao left that day, he went out of the house full of food and drink. Widow Xue asked him where he was going, but he didn't say anything, just went out to get some air.
Widow Xue lived at the end of the village. Few people came to this place, and they didn't see anyone along the way.
He went to Xiahe Village. Xiahe Village was not far from Yuqing Village, and it was just a walk away from a cup of tea. When he arrived at Xiahe Village, he seemed to be familiar with the road from the end of the village, and he went all the way around to a small courtyard.
This courtyard looked very ordinary from the outside, and it was not different from ordinary farm courtyards, but as soon as he opened the courtyard door and walked in, a young woman came out of the house and looked at him with a smile.
"Brother, are you here?"
This woman is also very ordinary dressed, not beautiful, but she looks fair and thin. As soon as she saw Xue Qingshan, she hurriedly greeted him and went inside around his arm.
There was a curtain hanging on the door of the main room of the main room, and when I entered the room, there was a black, thin, rickety man. The man saw the woman wrapping around Xue Qingshan's arm, as if he hadn't seen it, but instead gave a flattering smile, nodded and bowed to avoid it.
It seems that a country couple lives here, but in fact it is just a secret door. The so-called secret door is the business of flesh and blood behind closed doors.
But from the outside, it can't be seen at all, and most people don't know that this kind of business is done here. The reason why Xue Qingshan knew about it was that he came back from another village a while ago and met the hostess of this house. At that time, the woman fell on the side of the road. Xue Qingshan kindly helped her and sent her home.
They were all sophisticated, and they knew what the other party was thinking with just one look. Xue Qingshan sent the woman home, and the two of them became a good thing.
Only later did Xue Qingshan know that this woman was in the flesh business, because there was a sick husband at home, and she spent a lot of money on medicine every year. Her husband also didn't mind letting his daughter-in-law go out to hook up with one or two men in exchange for money for the family's daily food.
One is willing to fight and the other is willing to suffer. The key point is that this woman is also cheap, and it is only tens of pennies for one visit. Since Widow Xue has a body, he will not be allowed to be close to him. Xue Qingshan also needs a place for him to relieve himself, so he will come every three or five.
But these days, he hasn't been here for a long time, and he really has no money in his pocket. No, he just got some copper plates from the Zhao family, and he found them.
After a game of overturning the dragon and the phoenix, Xue Qingshan rolled down from the kang in a comfortable mood. The place that used to be itchy from time to time seems to be no longer itchy. This made him feel very happy, and he couldn't help but put a smile on his face, naturally ignoring the horror in the eyes of the woman on the kang.
It was not until Xue Qingshan was dressed that the woman hurriedly got off the kang with her shirt on.
"Brother, are you leaving now?"
Xue Qingshan nodded, threw a handful of copper plates on the kang, and left without looking back.
The woman sighed and turned to look at the copper plate. After a long while, they picked them up one by one, wrapping them in a handkerchief. Her sick husband sent Xue Qingshan away, and had already come in impatiently.
"What about the money?"
She raised her hand, the black and thin man reached out and grabbed it, but the woman ducked.
"We won't do this in the future," the woman said.
The man ignored him, stretched out his hand again, and grabbed the copper plate.
"I'm going to buy meat."
"We won't do this in the future." The woman said again.
The man looked back at her and said, "If you don't do it, where will I get the money to buy meat? I need to take good care of my disease. If I don't eat well, I will die!"
Speaking of the word 'death', the man's cloudy eyes seemed to bulge out, and he seemed to realize that he was excited. He slowed down and said, "I know you're wronged by following me, but I'm sick... I don't want to..." He coughed violently a few times, as if he was about to cough out his lungs, and it took a while. stop.
The woman's eyes were red, but there were no tears: "You don't know, this eldest brother has contracted my disease. My disease is harmful, and I won't live long."
"Infected?"
The woman nodded: "I saw it just now..." She didn't say what she saw, but she could hear the panic in her heart from her trembling tone. "The same as when I was..."
"Infected?" The man repeated it again, and suddenly his voice sullen: "If you are infected, you will be infected. In this world, people eat people and people harm people. We didn't intentionally harm people, we can only say that God didn't. long eyes."
As he spoke, he went out as if floating.
In fact, they used to be happy and happy, but he somehow got this 'wealth disease', coughing day and night, craving day and night. Later, I saw the doctor. The doctor said that he had worms in his lungs, which could not be cured. He could only raise them with delicious food. If the worms had something to eat, they would not eat his lungs.
Originally, he was not very wealthy, but because of the treatment of illness and the need for good nourishment, he became impoverished. Once he fell ill and almost died. In order to find a doctor for him, a woman walked at night and was raped by a wicked person on the way.
When he was in their situation, he didn't care about being chaste or chaste. He was grateful that his woman could always accompany him. He felt that he must have done a lot of good things in his last life, and he could only afford such a daughter-in-law in this life.
Only later did he realize that he did not do good things, but that he did too many bad things to let that kind of disease infect women.
The doctor didn't even look at them, so he kicked them out.
They thought about dying together, the ropes were tied, but they were afraid.
It is better to die than to live, and there is too much resentment in my heart. Why is God so unfair? Why does the wicked bully the poor people instead of bullying them
With this in mind, he let his woman start a flesh business.
Die, die, die sooner or later anyway!
He thought of the person who couldn't see his face clearly. He thought that this person was not a good person, otherwise why would he use them to harm people? But it doesn't matter to him, he will die sooner or later anyway.
It's just that he can't let his woman know that his woman is a kind person, and she knows that she will be sad.
The man sighed and went to the village head with the copper plate in his hand.
"Liu Heigui, are you here to buy meat again?"
"Hey, weigh me two pounds." The man coughed.
It rained in Pingyang Mansion for many days at a time.
It was wet everywhere, making this place, which is usually windy and sandy, seem to be in the rainy south of the Yangtze River all of a sudden.
The inn was overcrowded, but they couldn't go out. They could only wander around this palm-sized place every day, and for many days they could always hear someone arguing.
It was also boring for too long, especially when it rained and the hair was about to grow on the body, and the government exam was approaching immediately. Everyone was anxious and bored.
Xue Tingxiang has been studying in the room for many days. Fortunately, Mao Badou is a living treasure. Otherwise, I really don't know how to live this day.
"... This man from Futai is surnamed Zhou, and his name is He Xin. He is a 18th-year jinshi of Chengtian. He is an old-fashioned and rigorous person, and he hates people who are flamboyant. So this time, you must remember that you must not write the article in the right way. It's too complicated and magnificent, the more low-key and simple the better." Xue Tingxiang said.
Is this another small stove before the exam
Mao Badou blinked his big eyes. The reason why he said this was because Xue Tingxiang had given them a small stove during the county examination before. I didn't realize it at the time, but in hindsight, the reason why they were able to get in was precisely because they listened to what he said.
"Ting Yuan, how do you know the name and preferences of Lord Futai?" It was Chen Jian who said that the problem could be cut to the point, and Li Datian would not have thought so much. As for Mao Badou, his speech has always been more and more crooked.
"I'm watching."
Seeing a few people wondering, Xue Tingxiang explained again: "You probably didn't pay attention. During dinner in the lobby these days, you can always hear some students talking about Mr. Futai. In addition, I have read a part of Chengwen's writings during the Chengtian period. From the township examination to the examination papers, Mr. Futai can almost figure out a few points by reading the literature and people. Later, I went to find the several county and prefectural examinations he presided over during his tenure, and selected them from them. Human Cheng Wen can see that he doesn't seem to have changed his habits over the years."
Hearing this, Chen Jian and the three of them immediately looked surprised.
"That's why your husband asked you to read more books in your room, but you went around the bookstore. I didn't expect you to read this. Why didn't I think of this." Mao Badou said in surprise.
Li Datian said: "Even if I let you see it, I'm afraid you won't think of it. It's Ting Yan's thoughtful mind and a hole in the fire."
Xue Tingxiang smiled and shook his head: "No, no, no, it's just to do what you like. People inevitably have preferences. This time, there are thousands of students who are going to take the exam. If I don't delve into the sideways, I don't have the confidence to pass."
"Then you mean we have to do whatever we want?"
Xue Tingxiang nodded: "Don't think it's simple, the style of writing is born, some people like flowers, some people like plain and simple. People want to eat radish, but you gave it to Bai Song, do you think people can eat it? Don't tell the teacher about this. , he never likes to be opportunistic, I told you to remember it, and then decide for yourself. Of course, it depends on what the big question of this government exam is. "
The four chatted for a while and continued to study and write articles.
It rained for two more days, and it finally cleared up the day before the government exam. All the students taking the exam couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief. On this day, Xue Tingxiang didn't read the written text anymore, but wandered around, just to relax.
The next day, before the second watch, Lin Miao called all the students up, washed and ate breakfast, checked the test baskets and all kinds of necessities, and then led them out.
Lin Miao was looking for a car, but they remembered that it was too late. Almost all the cars of the various car dealers in Pingyang Mansion had already been booked, so they could only walk today. Fortunately, it was only a fifteen-minute journey from the inn where they were staying to the Fuxue Palace, and it was possible to walk there.
Along the way, I saw the voices of people, the sound of cars and horses converged into one, and there were all the torches in the eyes, and it was actually a long dragon whose head and tail could not be seen. When people take a car, they can only walk by themselves. A group of people walks along the street, but it seems not too crowded.
After crossing this street, I walked another one, but the front was blocked.
It is estimated that they are smearing and rushing on the road. They only care about walking without looking at others. There are several carriages in one place, and they cannot retreat. Xue Tingxiang and others squeezed through the cracks and kept walking forward all the way. Most of the candidates who were blocked in the back were so anxious when they saw this scene, they all got out of the car and walked on foot.
Gradually, there were more and more people on the street, and fewer and fewer cars. Mao Badou was squeezed for a while, Xue Tingxiang gave Li Datian a wink, and said, "Protect the teacher." Then a few people actually guarded from left to right, and ran forward with Lin Miao between them.
