The abduction and trafficking incident this time was unexpected. Although it was resolved satisfactorily, there were not many people who knew about it.
Li Sanlang talked about this with his grandfather, but his grandfather didn't say much.
Li Sanlang felt that Xu Zhen's behavior was called a hero and should not be praised, so he went to talk to the head of the mountain again.
When Li Sanlang was deceived by Xu Zhen, Shan Chang began to seriously think about how to punish Xu Zhen.
But then Ge Xier and other students also came to say so, and hoped that the head of the mountain would let Xu Zhen rest at home for the sake of Xu Zhen's injury.
The head of the mountain was defeated by everyone's request. Although he still didn't feel that Xu Zhen had done anything serious, he finally broke out in kindness and gave her three holidays.
When Xu Zhen learned of this, she was grateful and ran to the gate to thank her.
The head of the mountain said sternly: "Although it's a vacation, it doesn't really mean that you don't have to do anything!"
Xu Zhen's heart skipped a beat: "What else should I do?"
"Transcribing the test questions." The head of the mountain took out a blue-covered book from his pocket, which was thicker than ordinary textbooks, and handed it to Xu Zhen, "This is a hundred test questions to be handed over to the Holy One. You have nothing to do at home anyway, how about Make ten copies."
Ten copies? This is too much.
Xu Zhen wanted to bargain, but before she opened her mouth, the head of the mountain had already thrown up her clothes and left. Xu Zhen had no choice but to say behind her tears that she would do well.
Birds chirping overhead.
Xu Zhen raised her head, and saw that the rain had passed and the sky was cloudless, like a flat and wide light blue sea. Occasionally, blackbirds could be seen passing by, hovering in the sky for a while and then flying away.
Immediately, I feel relaxed and happy, and my vision is broadened.
After thinking about it, she simply threw the test booklet aside and went out for a walk.
First, I went to Yunmofang to buy rice paper, and then I went to the pharmacy to grab some traditional Chinese medicine, happily preparing to treat the little beggar's body.
After boiling the medicine, Xu Zhen walked into the room with the bowl and found Xun Qianchun standing behind the desk.
Xu Zhen was afraid that she would hurt her hands, so she hurriedly asked, "What are you doing?"
Xun Qianchun turned to look at Xu Zhen, and after a while, said slowly, "Read."
Xu Zhen knelt down, put the medicine on the low table and asked, "Which one do you want to read? I'll give it to you."
Xun Qianchun said: "Zhuangzi."
Xu Zhen looked up and saw that there was indeed Zhuangzi's book on the shelf in the room, so she ran over and took it down on tiptoe.
And because Xun Qianchun's hands were not good, she couldn't turn the pages by herself, so she took the little beggar's arm, and the two of them sat on the couch, Xu Zhen flipped through the pages and read to the little beggar.
When she read the sentence "If you value yourself as the world, you can entrust the world; if you love yourself as the world, you can send it to the world." When Xu Zhen suddenly thought that the little beggar would be a queen in the future, she should Learn more about being an official.
She asked Xun Qianchun: "Do you know what this sentence means?"
Xun Qianchun nodded.
Xu Zhen asked, "What do you mean?"
Xun Qianchun said: "If you value yourself, love yourself, and surpass the world, you can rely on the world."
Xu Zhen said, "What you said is the same as if you didn't say it."
Xun Qianchun paused for a moment, and explained it again, which was more popular than before.
It is said that for those who value their own lives more than the world, the world can be entrusted to them, and for those who love themselves more than the world, the world can be sent to them.
Seeing that the little beggar answered completely and correctly, Xu Zhen was surprised: "You even know this sentence. Have you been secretly studying these days?"
Xun Qianchun replied: "Read some."
"Where did you get the book?" Xu Zhen asked.
"The ruined temple." Xun Qianchun paused for a moment, and added, "There are refugees who have brought books, and they can exchange books for food."
As she spoke, she took out two small and thin books from her bosom, one was "Tao Te Ching" and the other was "Zhuangzi".
These two books should have been wet by rain before, and they were wrinkled. When I opened them, I found a large area of blurred writing inside, and I could hardly read them clearly.
Seeing that the two books were too tattered, Xun Qianchun probably felt embarrassed after reading them for a while, and wanted to stuff them back into his clothes again.
Unexpectedly, when she raised her hand, a light blue purse suddenly fell out of her belt, making a loud landing sound.
Xu Zhen followed the prestige and was stunned.
Isn't this the money bag that I used to smash the little beggar before
Xu Zhen suddenly felt uncomfortable, and quickly bent down to pick up the money bag, stuffed it into her clothes, and pretended nothing happened.
Xun Qianchun originally wanted to pick it up, but when she saw Xu Zhen picked it up first and didn't intend to return it, she looked at Xu Zhen silently.
After a while, she asked Xu Zhen: "Do you like purses?"
"What purse?" Xu Zhen asked.
After asking, she came to her senses and realized that she had thrown the money bag to the beggar, and the money in it belonged to the beggar. When she got excited, she picked it up and stuffed it into her pocket. What's the difference?
Xu Zhen blushed, and hurriedly took out the money bag from her skirt, and stuffed it into the little beggar's hand.
The little beggar held a warm money bag and asked solemnly: "Do you like this?"
Xu Zhen shook her head, then nodded again.
Xun Qianchun said, "I'm not interested in this thing."
Xu Zhen listened, and for a moment didn't understand what the little beggar meant.
After another half hour.
Xun Qianchun said: "If you like it, I'll chop more firewood, ten coppers a day, and the savings will be a lot."
Xu Zhen blushed and said, "No need."
Xun Qianchun said: "If you like it, I will give it to you."
Xu Zhen was both moved and ashamed.
She asked Xun Qianchun: "I hit you with this last time, did it hurt you?"
Xun Qianchun shook his head: "No."
Xu Zhen felt that Xun Qianchun was lying, so she was even more embarrassed, and leaned over to touch her hand: "Does it still hurt?"
Xun Qianchun said, "It doesn't hurt."
"You are honest." Xu Zhen said, "If it hurts, you must say it. Only children who can cry will have candy."
Xun Qianchun looked at Xu Zhen and nodded.
Xu Zhen explained: "I hit you earlier because I wanted to return the money to you, not on purpose."
Xun Qianchun nodded, but did not speak.
Xu Zhen continued: "I picked it up just now, and I also feel...a little embarrassed, not because I like some money bags."
Xun Qianchun said: "I know."
Xu Zhen said, "So you don't have to chop wood."
Xun Qianchun said: "I listen to you."
Seeing that the little beggar was so obedient, Xu Zhen was very pleased. She had nothing to say, so she said, "Good boy."
Then he picked up the book and wanted to continue reading for the little beggar.
Xun Qianchun suddenly said: "I know, this is the custom of your Han people."
Xu Zhen paused when she flipped through the book, and asked, "What?"
Xun Qianchun said: "Small the money bag."
Xu Zhen didn't understand, and asked, "What is throwing money bags? What is the custom of throwing money bags?"
Xun Qianchun looked at her for a while, lowered his eyes, and did not answer.
Seeing that she didn't talk, Xu Zhen didn't continue to ask, but just read, and she was a little tired after reading, so she put down the book and let the little beggar sleep, and went to the room and sat down by herself.
When spreading out the rice paper.
Xu Zhen thought, the little beggar is really responsible, the two of them will live together as a partner in the future, the little beggar has already started thinking about chopping firewood to make money, and she is still doing nothing, how can this work.
You have to work harder yourself.
She ignited her fighting spirit and prepared to transcribe the book.
But when she picked up the pen, Xu Zhen suddenly realized that the examination booklet... seemed to be missing
The past few days have been rainy and rainy, and the ground is wet. The walls of the earthen house are soaked in a dark color, and when the sun shines, they become gray and white.
Holding on to the outer wall, Xu Zhen looked around for the examination papers for the undergraduate examination.
Finally, I finally saw the blue book in the wet soil, picked it up and saw that the edges were all wet.
Xu Zhen looked at the wet test questions and couldn't understand how this thing could come here.
She regretted it.
Why can't I put the notebook on the table properly, I have to throw it away!
This habit must be changed.
She walked into the house reflectively, and when she passed the low wall in the backyard, she suddenly heard two women chatting.
The two chatted about recent major events in Jiangling, saying that the Holy Majesty commended Jiangling, issued an imperial decree to Jiangling, and then sent several invitations to Jiangling.
"Invitation? What invitation?" A woman asked.
"I heard it was a banquet in the palace!" Another woman replied.
The person earlier said: "You actually invite people from Jiangling to participate? Has anyone come here recently?"
"It's the gentleman from Baihong Academy!" The woman replied, "A few days ago, a child was abducted, but they were all brought back. It was that gentleman who rescued them. rescued people."
"A trick was used? And they were all rescued? That's really amazing!"
The two stood by the low wall, boasting, boasting, one of the women saw Xu Zhen standing inside drying books, and shouted at her: "Xu Azhen! Where have you been these days? Why haven't you seen me?" Where are you?"
Xu Zhen didn't recognize this woman, but after thinking about it, she thought she was a friend of the original owner, and she was embarrassed to offend her, so she smiled at them.
"Going to teach in the academy." She replied.
The woman laughed loudly: "Why do you go to teach again, don't you think you were scolded enough before?"
Xu Zhen pretended to be stupid and continued to laugh.
The woman shouted again: "Do you know that a female gentleman recently did a great deed? You are both gentlemen, why is there such a big gap!"
Xu Zhen shouted from a distance: "I also did a great deed."
"What did you do?" the woman asked.
"I saved someone." Xu Zhen replied.
"You're the only one who saves lives." The woman laughed again. After laughing for a while, she felt that Xu Zhen was joking, and told her about the feats of other female teachers in the academy, and then she left with the lotus leaf bag.
Standing in the house, Xu Zhen thought to herself, there are so many victims recently, she saved a bunch of them, and another female gentleman also saved a bunch of them, the total may be nearly a hundred.
I don't know who that other female gentleman saved, but no matter what it is, it means that Jiangling is not safe recently, so we should be more careful.
Xu Zhen squatted on the steps, waited for the book to stop dripping, raised her hand to shake the book, walked into the room and began to copy.
However, before she copied a few lines, another shocking question appeared—
Since the words on it had just been soaked in water, they were now blurry and could not be read clearly.
…
What's wrong with this
Just as Xu Zhen was thinking hard about how to get the hundred questions out of the way, the neighborhood in Jiangling was bustling like New Year's greetings.
There are lights and festoons on both sides of the street, some people set off salutes, and some distribute red flowers.
There are also people holding rice paper, running on the trail, and gossiping when they see people.
The content of gossip is naturally inseparable from the hottest recent abduction and trafficking incidents.
"Have you heard? The gentleman who saved the girl has been found, and he belongs to Baihong Academy!" said a young man holding a candied haws.
"Baihong Academy? The academy that taught female Tanhua before?" someone asked.
"Exactly."
"Is it the granddaughter of the minister of the Ministry of Industry?"
"No, it's not her, it's someone whose name I've never heard of before."
"There are other powerful gentlemen??" Everyone praised, "Baihong Academy is really amazing. Those who can name you are Confucian students who are very knowledgeable. Even if you can't name them, they are well-informed and kind-hearted. living Bodhisattva."
"That's right! From now on, when my son goes to school, I will definitely let her go to Baihong Academy!"
A group of people got together and chatted, and finally concluded: "Compared with it, Qinglongshan Academy is really in decline."
At this time, Baihong Academy.
A woman sits on a low stool.
Someone next to her congratulated her, saying that she was extremely powerful and powerful.
The woman smiled and thanked.
After He Xi's person left, a middle-aged man came over and asked her, "Are you really going to do this?"
The woman said loudly, "What's the problem?"
"It's not like there are people who know about this matter. Have you ever thought about the consequences if you are exposed?" the man reminded.
"Explore?" the woman said, "When I enter the palace, show my talent, and gain power, the fake will become true, and the real will become fake, so why are you afraid of exposing me?"
She talked and laughed.
Xu Zhen still doesn't know that her credit has been taken away.
She is still writing imperial examination questions.
She looked dizzy, lying on the table weakly transcribing.
Turning to the fifth page, she saw that it said "... Zhou... Bi... No..."
Xu Zhen thought for a long time, then added the words tremblingly: "The circumference of a circle is five meters longer than the square, no, it is actually six meters longer..."
She was too tired to make it up, she couldn't make it up in the end, she slammed her head on the table, thinking to herself, why don't you hurry up and run away with the little beggar.
