Chapter 66 Letter from the Magistrate

Moth didn't know what was going on, as if Wu Jie had achieved some success, so he had to mention the marriage between Wu and Tang families again. This child was already hindered.

Wu Jie didn't dare to discuss it with her, otherwise he would be nagging again.

There are three domestic test games in this issue, and there are still some days before the final release.

Prefect Lin personally pointed out that Wu Jie was the head of the undergraduate case. According to Shilin's rules, he was already his teacher and should go to his place to worship. However, he had to wait until the results were released.

In front of me, I can only stay in the inn and wait for news.

Anyway, I don’t have much time left for the college entrance examination, so I have this free time, so I just memorized the test papers in the inn.

After reading the book for seven or eight days, the results of the mansion examination finally came out. As expected, Wu Jie won the first name.

Considering that there are still twenty days left for the college entrance examination, Wu Jie has not returned to Xinjin County and has lived in Chengdu for a long time to prepare for the exam.

Xinjin County was just a nominal hometown for the former Wu Jie. He grew up in Nanjing since he was a child and had no feelings for this hometown. What's more, Wu Jie is now a young man living in a modern metropolis. In comparison, Chengdu's prosperity and hustle and bustle are more in line with his appetite.

If you get the first place, you should go to the teacher next.

On the day the results were released, Wu Jie bought a lot of gifts and took Moth to find Prefect Lin, but was told that the Prefect went to Luzhou Prefecture.

It turned out that after staying in Chengdu for a few days, Lin Tingchen, the cousin of Lin, was going to Beijing to participate in the Shuntian Prefecture provincial examination and got married to Lu Mansion. Originally, it was the fastest to go from Chengdu to Beijing, cross the Qinling Mountains, and then go north along the Wei River, Yellow River, and Grand Canal. However, Mr. Lin was born in a wealthy family and could not endure the hardships of the journey. After thinking for a while, he decided to take a boat to Luzhou and then go down the Yangtze River. In this way, although the road would take a little longer, it was comfortable.

Prefect Lin sent an official boat to send him there himself.

It takes ten days to go back.

Wu Jie had no choice but to put down the gift box, say goodbye and leave.

Life in Chengdu is much more interesting than Xinjin. He won the first place, especially the article posted on the gate of the Fuxue School, which shocked the entire Sichuan and became the most dazzling new star in the Sichuan literary world.

Not only did the scholars in Chengdu not only visited, but also visited the literati from Jiazhou and Luzhou.

Socializing in the Shilin River is inevitable to hold a literary party, eat fresh rice wine, and discuss knowledge. At the beginning, Wu Jie was still energetic for socializing, but since ancient times, literati were neglected, and the participants were inevitably competitive and red in debate. After repeated recurring, he was a little bored, so he wanted to find a quiet place to read a few days.

Yang Zongzhi is here.

Mr. Yuli came to find Wu Jie for two main purposes. One was to ask Wu Jie to help compile his new book; the other was to let Wu Jie move to his house in Chengdu for a long time, and there was no need to worry about food and accommodation.

Wu Jie was not interested in editing new books. His strength was in exams. If you have a solid thing like editing books, you will not make a fool of yourself without the knowledge. At worst, you will be sloppy with Yang Zongzhi at that time.

As for living in Yang Zongzhi's house in Chengdu, it will be the college entrance examination anyway, and then the provincial examination will be the provincial examination, and the examination halls are all set in Chengdu. Now when I go back to Xinjin, I will come here to take the exam again, which is very troublesome.

If you can live in Yang Zongzhi's house, it would be a good thing, and at least it would save a lot of money.

Yang Zongzhi's home in Xindu was confiscated as early as the early years of Jiajing. Now that he has returned to his hometown, Mrs. Tang specially gave a three-entry yard in Chengdu to his brother-in-law.

This yard is quite large and is originally the Tang family's property. It is very clean and elegant. It is a bit deserted. There is only an old man guarding the eyes inside. It is so deserted that he is not afraid of being disturbed.

When the moth saw it, he liked it in his heart.

Although she was a little maid in Nanjing before, she was used to living a wealthy life.

The little girl has never been as happy as she has in her life. Seeing those noble scholars so respectfully and respectful to her young masters, she seemed to have returned to her days in Nanjing. At that time, the master was still an official.

The sky opens its eyes and my Wu family is about to revive again!

Wu Jie always gave in to this little girl, but she refused, so she moved it with her. Anyway, this place now belongs to Emperor Tang and has nothing to do with the Tang family.

But after moving in, Wu Jie realized that he had been fooled.

I thought I could save living costs here, but in fact, Wu Jie, a modern man who criticized the ancients, always spent money and was already a little embarrassed.

But after living there for a few days, many people went in and out of the yard one after another. There were carved craftsmen, book shop staff, and students from Muma Mountain House.

Only then did Wu Jie realize that this place was compiled and proofread the new book. The lively atmosphere here is even more than an inn, which makes people feel troubled.

Helplessly, he had already agreed to Yang Zongzhi and was embarrassed to leave.

Most of the students in Yang Zongzhi Academy are from the Tang family, and most of the newly recruited Shilin rising stars have been met at poetry meetings, and everyone is acquaintance.

Of course, because Wu Jie and the Tang family were not awkward, they didn't say much after meeting each other.

It’s better not to talk, but to fight each other, it’s like not to meet each other. Wu Jie simply lived with Mochi in the most remote courtyard, reading books, writing, drawing a few bamboos from Zheng Banqiao, and then playing a few games of Goji with the little girl. This is also a happy life.

Yang Zongzhi was still teaching students in Xinjin, and his new book manuscripts were constantly sent here, allowing people to proofread them, then woodblock them, ready to be printed and published.

As a first-class figure in Sichuan Shilin, Yang Zongzhi's manuscripts were naturally sent to Wu Jie without any submission.

Wu Jie flipped through a few pages, and Yang Zongzhi's article was naturally very well written, but it was nothing new. It was nothing more than the traditional Confucian theory of the Confucianism, such as the response of heaven and man, and the monarch and ministers, and they were too lazy to read.

The time enters the fifth month of the lunar calendar, and the weather is as hot as the day.

The summer in Sichuan is not much different from Nanjing. They are both stuffy and unbearable, but as long as they are fresh and quiet, the cool breeze is born.

In the room, a pot of tea, a volume of books, and a piece of sandalwood ignite, making people feel calm.

Moth is a person who can't stay idle either. Since she moved into this yard, she has been busy all day long. She has swept the yard and watered the gardenia in the flower bed. A small yard has made her clean up. At this moment, she is standing on the windowsill, holding a bowl of dough sticking to the window paper.

The noon sunlight is projecting from the outside, and people in summer are dressed thinly. The thin shirt seems to be illuminated by illuminating it, and inside is a graceful and swaying branch.

The wind blows, bringing the moisture of the well water newly scattered on the ground, and it also brings the fragrance of roses.

Wu Jie was reading a book called "Selected Works of Zhaoming", and when he saw this, he felt like he was moved: When he was in Nanjing, he didn't seem to think that this little girl had any benefits, she had a flat figure and a match girl. He didn't expect that she had been so charming in just a few years.

"What are you looking at!" He glared fiercely, and suddenly found Wu Jie's hot gaze. The moth, who had always been spurt, suddenly became irritated. His face turned slightly red: "It's not that I haven't seen it..."

But the voice fell.

The atmosphere in the room was a bit ambiguous, and the fragrance of roses became stronger. I don’t know if it was the fragrance of flowers or the body odor of moths.

Wu Jie was impulsive and couldn't help but reach out to hold the moth, without saying anything, just looking at her with a smile.

There was a sound of footsteps coming from the gate of the courtyard.

Yang Zongzhi walked in with a large stack of manuscripts in his hand.

Wu Jie hurriedly reached out and hugged the moth from the windowsill, and smiled and said, "Be careful not to fall."

Moth bit his lower lip and looked at Wu Jie, his eyes flowing.

"Mr. Yuli has been very happy recently. Living here with her will cause trouble for you." Wu Jie felt a little embarrassed by Yang Zongzhi's crackdown on the charming scene, so he asked him first.

Yang Zongzhi handed over a letter and said, "Shizhen, this is a letter written by your mentor Gaozhi County. Gaozhi County knew that you live in my place, so he told you not to rush back to Xinjin. He tried the boy first and got the reputation of a scholar."

Wu Jie opened the letter and glanced at it, his expression slightly moved.

Seeing Wu Jie's expression was strange, Yang Zongzhi couldn't help but ask, "What's wrong?"

Wu Jie: "It's nothing, a little bit of a small matter." He smiled, but his smile was a little hard.

Kochi Prefecture's letter did bring a bad news.
