After the county order left, Du Shaoqing let Li Zhen and his party into the back house of the inn, and the outside lobby was left for five guys to clean up."
You guys talk first, I'll go find something to eat, I set off from the post station early in the morning, and I'm almost starving and fainting by now."
Cheng Chu said silently and walked to the kitchen of the inn."
Let Shaoming take you to find something to eat."
Du Shaoqing shouted."
No, I'm still familiar with you here."
Cheng Chu didn't reply, and waved his hand.In the living room of the back house here, Li Zhen came in with another person wearing an official uniform, "Brother Du, a few days ago, Xiao Mo and I truthfully played Your Majesty's secret recipe for sacrificing steamed buns, and Your Majesty said on the spot that he would reward you with a thousand taels of silver, no, we have already brought it for you." ”Du Shaoqing, who was coming over with a teapot to pour boiling water for the two, almost didn't stand firm, his eyes widened and he said in surprise: "How much?"
One thousand taels?
”Seeing this performance, the official next to him frowned slightly, but did not speak, Li Zhen nodded and said: "That's right, Your Majesty said that you can't treat patriots badly, and let the meritorious people chill their hearts, so this time you must accept it, otherwise it will be a protest." ”Du Shaoqing laughed and said: "Collect, why don't you accept it, our family is poor and sells the house, how can I slap my swollen face and become fat again." ”This sentence made the official next to him have a lower opinion of Du Shaoqing, he didn't know that this was Li Zhen and Du Shaoqing, and the two of them were just talking casually."
Also, Your Majesty heard that you are a talent, so I specially approved you to have the opportunity to enroll in the Guozijian and contribute to the country in the future.This is the master of the Song Dynasty sent by His Majesty to assess your knowledge, you have to perform well, and after passing the assessment, you will be able to study the Guozijian in the future, and your future will be very good. ”Li Zhen introduced here.Du Shaoqing was shocked again, and he was a little embarrassed: "Admission to the National Prison?
Isn't that going to Chang'an?
Brother Li, is there any misunderstanding?
I'm this age, and I still have to go to school?
”That Song master snorted coldly: "What?
Are you still reluctant?
Don't you look down on our country?
This official knows that you have failed the list three times, but if you are slacking off or resentful because of this, then you can't do it.Your Majesty's gift is to give you the opportunity to contribute to the country in the future, such an opportunity, which poor student in the world can't ask for it, you are good, don't want to go?
I see you're only in your teens, why don't you have to go to school?
Kong Yingda, the priest of the country, is still working tirelessly in the year of the sixtieth year, what ability do you have to be ashamed of your children?
”was reprimanded by this person, Du Shaoqing's originally good mood became very bad, he forgot that this is ancient times, education is different from modern times, there are many people who are poor, and entering school at the age of twenty is definitely a common phenomenon.But when he was suddenly told that he was going to move to Chang'an to study, Du Shaoqing never thought about it, after all, he dragged his family and his daughter to raise, and he was not interested in learning those classics and Confucianism.Li Zhen next to him said in a round field: "Don't misunderstand Master Song, Brother Du is probably excited for a while, his patriotism is still admirable, and he will definitely not have other intentions, you still talk about the right thing, start the assessment, whether you succeed or not, you will know if you have tested his knowledge." ”The man nodded, and no longer entangled, so he spoke: "Guozijian is now divided into five studies: Guozijian, Taixue, four studies, calligraphy, and arithmetic, I will take the school one by one, as long as you can pass one of them, you will be considered to have passed."
Guozixue mainly studies the Five Classics, and you first memorize two Spring and Autumn Texts. ”Du Shaoqing really wanted to scold his mother in his heart, where did this goods come from, what kind of big cloves of garlic did they contain?
I don't want to go to Chang'an at all, and I have to be able to answer these questions about the scriptures and history.Not to mention how Du Shaoqing was assessed in the living room, not to mention Cheng Chumo, who had just gone out to find food.Now that the inn is reopened, it's not just white steamed buns to eat, Du Shaoqing also fried two side dishes in the morning, leaving some for the drunk Zhang Chuchen to put in a bowl in the kitchen, Cheng Chumo took a look, what is it, it smells so fragrant?
I've never seen this dish before, and when I taste it, my eyes light up and it's delicious.So he took out three or five big white steamed buns from the cage drawer and began to feast on them."
It's delicious, it's delicious, when did this inn have such craftsmanship?
This surnamed Du is really hidden.But it's a pity that such a good dish is not accompanied by good wine. ”Thinking of this, Cheng Chumo rummaged again, not to mention, this kid is also lucky, there is really a small half jar of good wine in the kitchen, it is the half jar that the red whisk girl Zhang Chuchen did not drink last night, Cheng Chumo smelled the rich aroma of wine and saliva flowed down, Xiao Xiao tasted it, the taste, it was over, only one bite of this product completely fell.At this time, a voice came from outside the kitchen door: "Du boy, did you leave me any food?"
Walking the rivers and lakes for so many years, it is the first time to get up so late" Cheng Chumo in the kitchen heard this voice, his heart tightened, and he hurriedly picked up the small wine jar, he is not stupid, he has been mixing in Chang'an for so many years, he has never seen it, he often drinks the imperial wine in the palace, but none of them can compare to this small half of the altar, the Du family does not know where this thing came from, it must be treasured, it is luck that he can drink it secretly, people will not take out this kind of treasure and let others drink it.So this thing played a clever trick, and directly caged the wine jar in his sleeve and took it away, no matter what, he would return to himself first and then talk about the rest, and it would be a big deal to compensate them for the silver afterwards.Just stuffed the wine jar, looking back, a red figure appeared at the door of the kitchen, looking at each other, and the two of them exclaimed at the same time.Cheng Chumo felt his legs go weak, and stammered: "Zhang, Aunt Zhang???
You, you" "Oh?
The boss of Cheng Zhijie's family?
How did you come here?
”Zhang Chuchen asked in surprise.In the face of this big guy, where did Cheng Chumo dare to hide half a point, and said the matter again with the fastest speed and the most concise words, Zhang Chuchen nodded, "Well, so that's the case, that's okay, go back quickly after finishing things, I'm afraid your father will worry about it after coming out for a long time." ”These words were obviously driving people away, but Cheng Chu didn't dare to refute it, and hurriedly nodded: "Yes, yes, let's leave after we finish our business." ”But as soon as he walked to the kitchen door, Cheng Shimo remembered the question in his heart, and boldly turned his head and asked, "I don't know why my aunt is so coincidentally here, do you want to go back today?"
Are we going to go all the way?
”Zhang Chuchen said in his heart that the child of the Jin family was really smart, just like his father, he looked honest and confused, but in fact, he was not stupid in his heart, and he knew how to test himself, so he snorted slightly: "I don't go back, I just stayed in Chang'an, I just stayed in Chang'an, and I only came out to relax when I missed the life in the green forest, and I will never go back in a short time."
By the way, you kid have a tight mouth, if you reveal my identity and spoil my mood, I'll clean you up. ”Cheng Chumo shrank his neck, said he didn't dare to say again, saluted, turned around and walked quickly towards the back house."
Xiao Zhen, Xiao Zhen, you come out, I have something to say to you."
Cheng Chumo called out Li Zhen in the living room, and Du Shaoqing and the Song master bookkeeper were left inside.Hearing that Chang'an's Yiba Red Whisk Girl was also there, Li Zhen was also frightened, and hurriedly trotted to salute and greet him, not daring to slack off at all.
