After the ranking of the college examination was announced, the artisans of the prefectural school rushed to the sub-county to publish the red case, and went to the newspaper of the inn where the students in the examination were located. There are also people who are guarding the school outside the school gate and other long-term cases, and announce the good news to the hometown of the deceased. Once the list is posted, they write the good news in big red paper, and fly to the homes of the deceased members in various counties and even their relatives. , asking for money.
The inn where Cui Xie stayed was all the students and students who were taking the exam. On the day of the announcement, firecrackers kept coming, and the news of the good news came flying in sequence: "Good news! A Confucian boy in a certain county, now the Admiral of Zhili Xuezheng Dai, The winner is a certain scholar in the Jiachen annual test, and the township test is a joint victory!"
Zhao Yinglin and a few Tongsheng couldn't wait for them to announce the good news, so they flew outside the mansion gate early in the morning to see him. After Cui Xie left the exam, he was about to draw the drawings for the last eleven volumes of "Three Kingdoms". These readers didn't dare to delay his business, patted his chest and said, "If you draw yours, we'll take your name when we go. Copy it. If you want to come and try two consecutive wins, this time the ranking will definitely be higher, and it will not be difficult to look at."
Pong Yan also wanted to see his grades earlier, so when the primary school students had all left, he brought him a cup of tea and said, "Brother, can I take a look for you too?"
Cui Xie smiled: "You've finished watching, why don't you return to my hometown to report the good news for me? I have to stay in the palace to wait for the re-examination, enter the pan, and send the great master away before I can go home. Your father and the shopkeeper Ji They are also anxiously waiting at home."
Holding the inkstone, he said: "It's okay, there must be a news reporter from our house. I have to stay here to make silver flowers for you, make new clothes, birth towel, boots and socks silk sash, you and new birth members. You have to take me with you when you go out for a drink. Otherwise, everyone else will be accompanied by a book boy. You will be a joke if you are naked."
Cui Xie lightly patted his forehead, which was covered with a black net towel: "You are already a young master, why do you still treat yourself as a book boy? Your father has prepared the clothes, and then ask the store to put some starch and you can wear them. , you don't need to work. Besides, it's not a good thing to eat alcohol. I don't go with them myself, let alone your children. If you want to go to the list, go to the list, buy whatever you encounter on the road, don't run away Just lose it."
Holding the inkstone and pressing his forehead, he ran out and said with a smile, "I've already visited the city in the past few days for your exam, and I'm looking for a list of what to lose. Big brother, you are good at painting, and I'll bring you a hammer at noon. "
He copied a melon rind hat, put it on and ran away, Cui Xie inserted the latch from the inside, and began to paint the famous scene of "Wolong Hanging Filial Piety" in Chapter 57 of "Three Kingdoms".
Seeing the name of these words, the faces of Tang Guoqiang and He Qing seemed to appear in front of him: a mourning hall with a snow-white tent, Zhuge in white clothes and a feather scarf hugging the coffin and weeping, holding a long sword and tears in his eyes Xiao Qiao came out with a sword...
It is a pity that there is no picture of Xiao Qiao trying to kill Zhuge in the original work, so we can only draw a picture of Zhou Yu vomiting blood at a desk, and adding He Qing's version of Xiao Qiao to the picture, rushing up from behind in shock and grief. In the scene of Zhuge hanging filial piety, let Zhuge Liang stand in the middle of the screen with a sacrificial text in hand, Zhao Yun stood by his sword at the side and rear, and Lu Su, Zhang Zhao, Huang Gai and others persuaded with tears.
He used a ruler to draw the perspective line, charcoal pen to draft, and first drew a simple diagram of Zhou Yu vomiting blood.
Just as the outline of the human body was drawn and the crosshairs were placed on the face, there was a sudden knocking sound outside the door. He thought it was holding the inkstone or a classmate who read the list, so he rolled up the drawing paper and got up to open the door.
Outside the door was an unknown strong man, with beads of sweat floating on his forehead and neck, his chest breathing up and down, his eyelids slightly drooping, and somehow, he looked a little fierce. Cui Xie pulled the door ajar and asked cautiously, "Is there something wrong with your presence here?"
The man held down the door frame, stared at him carefully, and asked, "You are Cui Xie Cui Gongzi of Qian'an?"
... Wouldn't someone really sue him for cheating
Cui Xie grabbed the door frame and said calmly, "I'm Cui Xie, is this eldest brother here to find me?"
The man nodded, glanced left and right, pushed the door open, squeezed into the room, and slammed the door behind him. Cui Xie felt as if he had entered the scene of the murder case in the secret room. He took two steps back to the window, swallowed, and asked, "Why are you looking for me, why did you have to lock the door to speak?"
The man took out a piece of Su Tie'er with Xie Ying's name on it from his arms, lowered his head and said, "The youngest is Xie Ke, the servant of the Xie family, who was ordered by my master Xie Qianhu to pass on a message."
It turned out that Xie Qianhu had something to do, so it's okay to say no, everyone is so familiar with it, why make it so mysterious. Cui Xie sighed secretly, put the post into his sleeve, and said politely, "Then eldest brother sit down in the bright room for a while, I will ask Xiao Er to bring the ebony cooked water from the ice."
Xie Ke waved his hand and said: "Don't call anyone, I was ordered by Qianhu to tell you one thing. The young master shouldn't know about this at this time, so after you listen to it, just ignore it for the time being. Don't use action."
Although Cui Xie was a little puzzled, because it was about Jin Yiwei, he honestly stopped and listened.
Xie Ke even closed the window and said in a low voice, "Someone posted a message from the other side of the door a few days ago, saying that Qi Sheng, the magistrate of Qian'an County, took over your library..."
He knew about this, Xie Qianhu and Liu Yushi even came to the mansion to take his confession! Could it be that there is a follow-up to this matter, and he needs to go to Beijing to testify to the magistrate Qi
He stared at Xie Ke with wide eyes, his eyes were full of questions, but he was afraid of interrupting his speech, so he didn't dare to ask. Xie Ke avoided his gaze, as if he was afraid of hurting him, and lowered his voice carefully: "This is actually what Lingtang did. Our thousand households have already checked the truth, and asked Xiaoxian to come to Yongping to inform the son. With a sound, tell your son to get ready..."
Ready... What else? Ready for the whole family to go to jail
He really has no fuck to say!
At first, Mrs. Xu framed her stepson, and it wasn't her who killed people after all. Now she is so bold enough to frame the imperial court official - she is still a man who has no grievances and no grudges, just the one who helped her stepson, what kind of hatred is this!
He wants to go to Beijing to testify, even if she goes in, he has to go in with him, and he has to testify in the past. The county magistrate of Qi is innocent and has never taken anything by force!
Cui Xie's face flushed with anger, and he stomped heavily on the floor: "I want to go to Beijing! There is no such thing in the world, how can I sit and watch in Yongping! I don't believe it, Yuzuo, rolling nails..."
He doesn't believe that there is no unreasonable place in the world!
Xie Ke hurriedly held his shoulders, and persuaded in his ear urgently and quickly: "Qianhu asked me to bring the letter, just because you were worried that you would be anxious and make something unwise. Although Mrs. Xu is yours. Stepmother, but she has indeed violated the laws of the court. In the case of thousands of households, a false accusation and an anonymous posting were all confessed by her, and there is no doubt that it was a trick."
... Xie Qianhu has already concluded the case, and Mrs. Xu has been convicted? This is really the eyes of the sky, good and evil pay off!
Cui Xie, a good young man who grew up under a socialist education and believed in materialism, must convert to karma. He was too excited, his face was blank, and he didn't even know how to laugh. Xie Ke thought he heard that his stepmother had offended him, and he was so sad that he couldn't bear to look any more, and turned around and sighed a few times.
He regained his senses with great difficulty, then cupped his hands and said to Xie Ke: "Thank you eldest brother for sending the letter, and you can also thank Qianhu on my behalf when you go back."
Xie Ke said: "No need to thank you, Qianhu just wants me to come and tell you the news, and I want to remind you: The sage wants to call you into the palace, and your family is probably about to come to pick you up into Beijing. He knows that you are a filial son. After Beijing, you must submit a letter to exonerate your stepmother, and I want you to think more about the grievances of the county magistrate when you submit the letter."
I have to write a letter to my stepmother to exonerate... If Xie Qianhu hadn't reminded him, he would have never imagined it. Even if Xie Qianhu said it, he didn't want to.
But he is a righteous man who has been declared by the emperor, and he must be a filial son. Loyalty and justice are the mainstream values of Ming Dynasty. No matter what I do in my heart, whether I do it or not in daily life, I must do it beautifully in such a scene that everyone is watching.
Excerpts should be written in a splendid and touching manner, but must not be so touching that the emperor and courtiers are willing to forgive Xu's sins. In this case, the book should write more about how the magistrate Qi is diligent in government and loves the people, and treats him like a disciple, so that people who see him will always think that Xu's frame is such a clean and honest official who loves the people...
Xie Qianhu is worthy of being Jin Yiwei, the number of paragraphs is really high!
Cui Xie narrowed his eyes slightly, thinking seriously about how to write a love letter. Xie Ke watched from the side, but felt that the burden between his eyebrows was getting heavier and heavier, making people unbearable to watch it, he simply bowed his hands and said goodbye, and silently merged into the crowd.
After he left, Cui Xie still went back to the table to paint, but couldn't draw any satisfactory composition.
At noon, a few elementary school students returned to the guest house with their companions, and brought back the news that he was on the desk:
The head of the third trial case, Xiao Sanyuan, it is rare for a government to produce such a talent for decades!
Must be celebrated!
Among the primary school students in Mr. Lin's school, four were admitted, including Zhao Shishi and Brother Yue who took him to the Chongyang Poetry Festival to advertise. A few people decided to come to him to celebrate, so they each brought something to eat and drink, not only to celebrate that he got the desk, but also to thank him for his luck in the exam.
Cui Xie temporarily put those bad things behind him, got up to meet them, and congratulated them with spring breeze on his face.
The crowd crowded and sat around the table. The dishes they bought, the hammered chicken and the fish in their hands, filled the table with two jars of soju—
From now on, they are no longer elementary school students, but real prefectural students, and of course they have to drink truly mellow and intoxicating wine!
But I didn't dare to drink too much wine, because there was a re-exam after the rankings were released, and the tutors were still waiting for them in the examination room.
In the second test, there was only one test, and there were still two classic and righteous questions. The test paper was found after entering the test room. The three children's test papers were tied together, and a few pages of manuscript paper were added at the end. This test is only to compare the handwriting and writing power of the candidates, and it is enough to confirm that it is not cheating. Generally, no one will be eliminated.
After passing the re-examination, the entrance ceremony of the freshmen will take place. The freshmen are led by the county school officials to greet the main examiner, and the teachers and students will be greeted. Yongping House is a place for raising horses. Every household has a horse that is fostered by the imperial court. Master Xuezheng also asked the local township and ward to set up hundreds of horses. He called these young talents to praise horses and walk around the streets like jinshi. County turned around.
Yongping Mansion has not seen such liveliness for several years, and the people are chasing the horses to watch.
Cui Xie was dressed in a terry shirt, with silver flowers in his hairpin, and strode on a white horse. He is good-looking and the eyes of all the people in the city are on his head. The little girls are not soft at throwing flowers and fruits. If it wasn't for his good eyesight and quick response, he might have smashed a bag on his face.
Fortunately, he attracted most of the firepower by himself, and the latter two were also young and handsome, and the latter two were lighter, and the latter ones who were older, not handsome enough, and ranked at the bottom... Not so dangerous, occasionally One by one, it is also an honor, holding flowers and handkerchiefs, and walking back to the school temple with a spring breeze.
On the way back to the city, he vaguely heard someone chasing after him and calling him "eldest son". Because he was worried about Mrs. Xu, he couldn't help but look back several times. But he really didn't recognize the Cui family, and he couldn't see anything special in the crowd, so he had to continue riding the horse and finish the tour.
Back at the school, Dai Ti learned a few lessons, and then let the young talents go home, leaving only Cui Xie, dragging his hand and asking, "How old are you when you teach books and how old do you know how to write essays? ? Have you ever taken a word?"
Cui Xie answered the first two sentences fluently, and then told Dai Yushi that he was only fourteen years old when he came to Qian'an, and he hadn't had an audition in the county, so his father didn't give him any words.
Dai Ren was very satisfied with this answer, stroked his chin and said: "Although you are young, you have already entered school and you are a famous person. If you want to communicate with ordinary friends in the future, you must also have a word. Good name. Since this official has chosen you and is also your seat master, how about picking a name for you?"
Naturally, he is a modern person, and he is not very familiar with the ancient rules of taking characters, and he is afraid that he will not be able to play well! He hurriedly stood up, cupped his hands and thanked: "Students can't ask for anything, thank you for your love!"
Dai Yushi shook his head and said: "Your name is Xie, and the text is "Xie, Heye", and "Shangshu·Hongfan" also has the sentence 'Xieyourouke'. If you work hard, you will definitely be able to make friends and soft, and even Xie and the world... I will choose the word and heart for you. "Book" says: Tong Yin is respectful and sincere, I hope you can work hard with the world's sages and hearts in the future, and share with Xie yin and yang."
Good, very good, as long as it wasn't taken by Cui Langzhong's father!
Cui Xie stood up in response, cupped his hands and thanked him, "Student, thank you sir for giving me the words."
