Chapter 5 People in the Same Way
Wei Liangchen was familiar with the voice and turned his head to see who Wu Xiuzhi, who was not Wu Master Wu’s daughter.
Wu Xiuzhi is one year older than Liangchen and is the youngest daughter of Master Wu. He has two brothers, one of whom works as a clerk in the sixth house in the county, and the other is studying abroad. Because he was a daughter in old age, Master Wu loved her very much, so he made a marriage for her two years ago and made Pan Xuezhong, the son of the Pan family, a wealthy family in the county, be his wife.
I heard that Pan Xuezhong is very promising and becomes a student at a young age, and he has a bright future.
The so-called literacy student is a student who has achieved fame and honor for scholars. The best grades are called "literacy student". The literacy student can receive literacy allowances from the public. The quota is very strict and he must be ranked third in the exam every year. Only by passing the exam can he be qualified for food and food, so he is the first among all students. He has a certain status in the local area. If a boy takes the exam, he must be admitted by the literacy student from the county to enter.
It is said that the county master Zunhe once mentioned to someone that if Suning County is elected as a juren, it will be Pan Xuezhong. What a praise and affirmation. If this is true, Wu Xiuzhi would marry the right person. In the future, he might have the chance to become a Jinshi and get an imperial edict.
Because of this, Master Wu attaches great importance to this son-in-law. Recently, he asked someone to tactfully express the meaning of getting married as soon as possible to the Pan family. This kind of thing has always been taken the initiative by the man's family, and few of the woman's family have proposed it. From this, it can be seen that as Pan Xuezhong's academic progress has improved, the Wu family has felt a lot of pressure on this.
After all, compared with the Pan family, the Wu family is really a bit lower. These days, they are more important than being a match. If Pan Xuezhong passes the provincial examination next year, it will be a fish jumping into the dragon gate, and the scholar's daughter is a mate with the juren. The only thing he has now is to get married as soon as possible. In this way, the Pan family will have no chance of remorse.
Wu Xiuzhi was wearing a plain white skirt and carrying a basket in her hand, as if she had just returned from outside.
Unlike the impression of the good ministers in his previous life, the Ming Dynasty was extremely open since the middle of the period, and it reached its peak by the Wanli period. There was almost no mention of the defense between men and women. Unmarried girls like Wu Xiuzhi appeared in public, as usual, and there was nothing strange about it.
I heard that in Jiangnan, there were some crazy people running naked on the spot, but passers-by were not surprised. There were even rich people walking in the street wearing bright yellow clothes that only emperors could wear, and the government ignored them. Even if someone openly claimed that I wanted to be the emperor, the government would just laugh it off and would not really take it as a matter. However, if this person really got the bear heart and leopard courageously gathered, that would be another story.
In terms of appearance, Wu Xiuzhi is very pretty, but she is particularly eye-catching. This girl is born with a cow with her peaks that are extremely full, and I don’t know how it grew up. Just because of this, when she was in the social school two years ago, Liangchen had fantasies about it a lot.
After coughing twice, Liangchen turned his gaze away from Wu Xiuzhi's chest. He guessed that the girl had probably returned long ago, but she had never gone in and eavesdropped outside the house. Otherwise, how could she know what he had said to Master Wu?
"Sister Xiuzhi, when will you be back?"
Liangchen had nothing to say. He knew that Wu Xiuzhi was influenced by his father and hated him, but he was just doing it himself. He always bullied his classmates in social science a few years ago. When he was fine, he even peeped at Wu Xiuzhi, but the girl hated him so much.
"Why didn't the people in the horse factory break your dog's legs?"
Wu Xiuzhi's mouth was very poisonous. After hearing this, Liangchen said, based on the principle that a good man would not fight with a woman, he laughed dryly and refused to accept this.
Like Wei Jinde, Liangchen's performance also surprised Wu Xiuzhi. Wei Liangchen she knew was not such a person. If it were the past, the scoundrel in front of him would have been back.
With curiosity, Wu Xiuzhi glanced at the closed door and thought that her father had already gone to the book hall, so she asked Wei Liangchen: "Why, do you still want to go back to the social school?"
"Everything is inferior, but only reading is high."
Liangchen's body was straight and his face tightened, but he could not be tense for a few seconds. He relaxed his face and said with a sneer, "My father said I was old and I had to ask for my wife. Mr. always said that Yan Ruyu was in the book, so I think it would be better to study hard. In the future, I might really be able to ask Yan Ruyu for his wife."
"You?"
Wu Xiuzhi felt as if she heard a very funny joke, and a look of contempt appeared on her face.
"Um!"
Liangchen was very serious and heavy. He was really serious in his attitude, because he became an official in the Ming Dynasty, and was afraid that he would not be able to find a beautiful wife?
"It's a pity that you can't get what you want. My father won't teach you anymore." Wu Xiuzhi shook her head and looked at Liangchen with extremely contemptuous eyes. "Besides, you are not a good student, otherwise you wouldn't have even failed the provincial exam. I think you'd better go home."
What Liangchen was most unwilling to accept was this matter. He looked a little bitter and said, "Sister Xiuzhi, I was just a little nervous when I tried the house last time. I missed it. I will definitely win this time."
After hearing this, Wu Xiuzhi couldn't help but sarcastically said, "It's certain that you won. Do you think the examiner is your father?"
"As long as the sir can accept me, I will definitely take the Zhongfu exam!"
Liangchen's words are a bit boasting. Not to mention that he must pass the exam, he may not even be sure of 50%. But the problem is that it is not whether he can pass the exam now, but whether he can take the exam! When things are about to come, he will take one step at a time. If he doesn't even have the qualifications to pass the exam, how can he talk about other great dreams of spring and autumn?
"You can't do it, really."
Perhaps Liangchen's firm attitude made Wu Xiuzhi's attitude ease. In addition, Liangchen was only sixteen years old and from the same village, so Wu Xiuzhi turned around and advised: "It is difficult to take the imperial examination. You have to take the exam, miscellaneous essays and policy statements. My father took the exam three times that year before he was able to enter the college examination. Although you passed the county examination, your studies have been abandoned in the past two years. Even if my father accepts you, you will not be able to pass the exam."
"I'm always unwilling to give up if I don't try it. Sister Xiuzhi, can you please sir for me?"
It is a way to attack Master Wu from the front, but it is a way to start with his daughter from the side. Liangchen thought that if Wu Xiuzhi was willing to plead for him, Master Wu might be able to give him a chance. This old man loves his daughter.
But Wu Xiuzhi refused to agree to this matter, but instead asked Liangchen: "You are 16 years old this year?"
Liangchen nodded, not understanding what Wu Xiuzhi asked about this. Soon, he understood what the girl meant, but was hitting him.
"My Pan Lang was 14 years old and even took the county, government, and college entrance examination. He is now preparing for the provincial examination next year, but you are 16 this year but haven't even passed the provincial examination. You said, are you really a good student? You should go back and learn farming with your father. Don't waste your energy here, you won't succeed."
Wei Liangchen was speechless. This trend was too open-minded. He was not married. He just called Pan Lang and the girl was embarrassed.
"Sister Xiuzhi, that's not what he said. As the saying goes, those who have ambition will succeed."
It is definitely fake that Liangchen was not hit by the blow, and he was also very envious of Pan Xuezhong. He was admitted to the scholar at the age of 14. It is not uncommon to place it in the powerful imperial examination provinces in the south, but it is in the northern Zhili, especially in Hejian Prefecture, which is a great thing. However, the more Wu Xiuzhi attacked him, the more he became firmer his ideas. He must not give up on the imperial examination road.
"My father doesn't accept you. What can you do if you have ambition?" Wu Xiuzhi looked at the scoundrel boy in front of her with anger and funny look.
"The book says that the boat will naturally be straight when it reaches the bridge, and there will be a road before the car reaches the mountain." Liangchen saw that Wu Xiuzhi had no intention of helping him at all.
"That's up to you."
Wu Xiuzhi was also secretly funny. A scoundrel wanted to take the imperial examination, which was really a humiliation. She didn't bother to pay attention to him, so she took a step forward and pushed open the door and went in.
But the Liangchen said, "How can a man be a real man without ambition? How can a sparrow know the ambition of a swan? One day, I, Wei Liangchen, will be a fellow man with your Pan Lang. Sister Xiuzhi, you can hear it clearly, you are a fellow man!"
After saying that, Liangchen's eyes slightly brushed over Wu Xiuzhi's waist, then he looked like he was ambitious and strolled away with his head held high, leaving Wu Xiuzhi with a disdainful look.
This is a belief, an ideal, and an ambition.
Liangchen felt that Wu Xiuzhi looked down on him, which hurt him and was very angry.
