Beloved Husband

Yan Jing passed the local examination without any accident.

At this time, he was already very famous in the south, and he was a recognized talent. Therefore, the chief examiner did not accidentally place him on his understanding.

Wei Lingxiu didn't take the national exam, he still lacked.

After the rural examination, Yan Jingze and Wei Lingxiu lived in Fucheng for a period of time, discussed knowledge with other people, and learned a lot.

In September of this year, Yan Jingze and Wei Lingxiu were preparing to go to Beijing to participate in the test next spring. By the way, Wei Lingxiu's succession to Zhou's family was also completed-the three-year academic and political term, Zhou Song has already First they returned to the capital.

Originally, Yan Jing wanted to enter Beijing later. Wei Lingxiu has not yet passed the test, and the township examination must be taken in his native place. If he is admitted as an official in the capital, they will be separated for a long time in the future when Wei Lingxiu returns to the village to participate in the township examination.

But Zhou Song said, because the Zhou family's ancestral home is near the capital, as long as Wei Lingxiu's adoption is done, Wei Lingxiu will be able to take the scientific expedition near the capital.

Upon learning of this, Yan Jing took Wei Lingxiu to the north.

It was September when they set off.

In September in the south of the Yangtze River, although the sky has already cooled down, the weather is actually right and the life is particularly comfortable, but all the way north, the situation is different.

They went north with other people. Most of the time, they took boats and hired cars in some places. The farther they went north, the colder the weather.

"The weather is clear, the frosty flies, the rooster screams in the morning, the swan geese fly south..." A man sat on the bow of the boat and chanted a poem to the mountain by the river. However, as soon as he finished speaking, he sneezed. Wrapped up and hid in the cabin.

The wind on the boat was strong, and Wei Lingxiu was blown by the wind and stopped thinking of writing poetry.

On the whole boat, the scene was completely unaffected, and he was even excited to learn how to sail.

"Brother Wei, Brother Yan is really...different!" A Juren surnamed Wang cultivating to Wei Ling.

This Wang Juren was in his thirties. He was not too old, but not too young. He was very rich, but he became less and less rich all the way to the north.

"Brother Yan is naturally different from ordinary people." Li Xiucai...No, he should be called Li Juren now. He respects Yan Jingze very much. He praises Yan Jingze every day and tells others by the way that he and Yan Jing is very close.

"Brother Yan's body is very good." Wei Lingxiu was a little proud when he heard people praise Yan Jingze.

The journey was quite tiring. Among the fellow Juren, some even fell ill and had to find a place to stay to recuperate. Yan Jing was different... At this time, there is still spirit to toss him!

Wei Lingxiu felt that he was falling apart.

Fortunately, we are almost in the capital!

Since the beginning of winter, the weather in Beijing has been getting colder day by day.

But in some restaurants, the atmosphere is very warm.

Spring will be the spring of the coming year. Right now, almost all the talented people from all over the country have gathered in the capital.

Among these people, the most famous is a Juren named Cai Shaozhang.

Cai Shaozhang was born in a big family, and when he was seven or eight years old, he made an amazing poem, and his fame grew year by year.

He had already won the junior three yuan before and had to understand the yuan. This time he went to Beijing to participate in the scientific expedition. It was for Huiyuan and the champion!

Recently, he is in the capital, it is called the limelight, and his collection of poems is sought after by countless people.

Cai Shaozhang participated in the literary meeting this day and wrote another poem. Someone praised him: "Good poem! Next year in Spring, Brother Kong Lin will definitely be nominated for the gold list."

Cai Shaozhang's word is Kong Lin, and when he hears compliments from others, his face shows a reserved smile.

Another said: "Brother Kong Lin may be able to reach the sixth yuan and the first."

"How difficult it is for six yuan and number one, Xiongtai looked at it high." Cai Shaozhang said, although he said that, he showed some pride on the face.

Someone could not understand Cai Shaozhang's appearance, and suddenly said, "Although Kong Lin brother is brilliant, he may not be better than the other person."

Hearing this man's words, everyone became curious, but Cai Shaozhang frowned.

The humanity who spoke: "When I went to Beijing to rush for the exam, I stayed in the south of the Yangtze River. I learned that there was a man named Yan Jingze who had the ability to remember, and his strokes were even more comparable to those of the previous generation."

Jiangnan is too far away from the capital. Although Yanjing has some reputation in Jiangnan, not many people know him in the capital.

"It is said that it is not forgetting, many people can remember something in a short time, and forget it after a few days, it is nothing." Cai Shaozhang said.

Of course, there are people who have never forgotten, but in the imperial examination, they do not necessarily take advantage.

Because most of these people can only remember for a short time, and they will forget it after some time.

However, despite what Cai Shaozhang said, many people still praised Yan Jingze: "I have also heard this person's name."

"It is said that he used to be ignorant and didn't start studying until he was eighteen years old. In just one year, he won a small three yuan!

"I have read his handwriting, and I really sigh for nothing."

...

Most of the Juren in Jiangnan have heard of Yan Jingze's name. They didn't mention it before, but because they are all scholars and don't want to praise others.

But now that Cai Shaozhang is too popular, some people have brought up the scene.

Cai Shaozhang didn't believe it at all: "I didn't just read and read at the age of eighteen, so I got a small three yuan in a year? It's ridiculous!"

"Brother Kong Lin, there are some outsiders."

Cai Shaozhang said: "It's a cat or a tiger. I'll talk about it when I get to know him!"

Before Yan Jing entered Beijing, someone was thinking of him, but he knew nothing about it.

When they were on the boat, the wind was strong, and they always felt cold, but the last part of the road was warm by car, but the road was too bumpy.

Yan Jing hugged Wei Lingxiu in his arms and let Wei Lingxiu sit on him, making him feel better.

The two of them hired a car separately. No one else knew about this. However, when taking a break on the road, Wang Juren rushed over and lifted the curtain...

The three looked at each other, Yan Jing calmly let go of Wei Lingxiu's hand, but still held Wei Lingxiu: "Brother Wang, something is wrong?"

Wang Juren smiled awkwardly: "Nothing." He just suddenly couldn't remember the content of a book he had read before, so he wanted to ask Yan Jingze, but he didn't expect to encounter such a thing.

He just said this way, and Yan Jingze and Wei Lingxiu were too good...that's it!

Wei Lingxiu was suddenly hit by someone. When he got out of the carriage and went to the tea shed to rest, he felt very uncomfortable. Seeing Wang Juren looking at him covertly, it was even more embarrassing, so he went to talk to Li Juren only.

As for Yan Jingze, he borrowed the kitchen from the tea shed and planned to cook something to eat.

There was a tempting fragrance from the kitchen, and Yan Jing could be seen cooking in it...Wang Juren approached Wei Lingxiu and asked, "Brother Wei, how did you please Brother Yan?"

Wei Lingxiu's face changed.

Wang Juren said again: "I don't know if Brother Yan can't see me..."

Wei Lingxiu stepped on Wang Juren's.

Yan Jing didn't like this fat man!

Li Juren, who heard Wang Juren's words: "..." Brother Wang, you'd better look in the mirror before you say this.

"Brother Wei, forgive me...I don't want to be able to discuss knowledge with Brother Yan day and night..." Wang Juren said, if there is someone beside him who can answer his questions at any time, he is willing to betray his body!

Wei Lingxiu increased the strength on his feet.

Wang Juren: "..." He was wrong!

Wang Juren was indeed wrong.

During the previous journey, he looked for Yanjing and asked questions, and Yanjing always answered questions, but since that day, Yanjing ignored him.

Unexpectedly, Yan Jing is such a big man, so afraid of it!

Wang Juren was extremely sad.

When they arrived in the capital, they separated.

These people have different family backgrounds. The rich can live in good inns, while the ordinary ones can only borrow to live in the homes of the people, or even live in the temples.

As for Wei Lingxiu and Yan Jingze, Zhou Song prepared a small courtyard for them in advance, which happened to live in them.

The house Zhou Song prepared was not big, and there were not many rooms inside, but the yard was not small, and there were many flowers and plants in the yard.

Wei Lingxiu fell in love as soon as he arrived, and Yan Jing liked it, and began to direct Zhou Song to send his servants to clean up the house.

Seeing a pile of firewood in the corner of the yard, he was still eager to try, and finally couldn't hold back to chop the firewood.

Wei Lingxiu: "...Brother Yan, let the subordinates chop the firewood." The subordinates Zhou Song prepared for them were a family, a middle-aged couple in their thirties and their two sons and a daughter. .

The middle-aged man is still very capable of working hard.

"I train my body." Yan Jing said. He has been on the road all the time. He never had the opportunity to exercise. Occasionally, he just threw Wei Lingxiu up and caught it when he wanted to practice... I always felt that my muscles and bones were not moving.

Let's go... Wei Lingxiu won't stop.

Yan Jing is better to chop firewood than throw him!

He was never thrown up and caught when he was a child. He didn't expect to feel it when he grew up. At the beginning, he was scared!

It just can't be called-the sound insulation on the boat is not good!

He is so difficult!

Wei Lingxiu couldn't find anything to do, so he simply found some paper and prepared to paint the scene.

He is very fond of painting recently, and he doesn't know how many words and scenes he has painted along the way.

Wei Lingxiu painted very attentively. After finishing the painting, he also wrote a poem: "The desert of the spring mountain is smoky, and there is a sound of chopping wood."

Putting down the pen, Wei Lingxiu was very satisfied with himself, and when he picked it up, he showed it to Yan Jing, "Do you think I painted well?"

"It's a mess!" a voice suddenly said.

Wei Lingxiu was taken aback, only to realize that someone was watching him by the side.

Those were a few literati in their 20s and 30s. The one who walked at the front was a young man with a tall stature. At this time, he grabbed his painting and said, "This painting is simply made by a child. ...... Is this a word comparable to everyone in the past?"

The speaker was Cai Shaozhang.

After he learned that Yan Jingze had come to the capital, he specially brought someone to find Yan Jingze, and wanted to know Yan Jingze for a while.

The door of the yard is open, the servants are cleaning, and there is also a weakly crowned man who is painting... Cai Shaozhang naturally thinks that this person is Yan Jingze.

And after he saw this man's calligraphy and painting...

To be honest, the painting of this person, although there is no skill, but it is full of emotion, and the painting of the man who chops the wood is extremely charming.

But that's all, he could do this kind of painting when he was a teenager!

As for that character, although it's okay, it's also very ordinary. At least his character is better than this person's!

"Who are you?" Wei Lingxiu frowned.

"Cai Shaozhang." Cai Shaozhang said: "You should have heard my name."

"Never heard of it." Wei Lingxiu said, "Return the painting to me."

"I'm ashamed to show these paintings." Cai Shaozhang let go, and said contemptuously: "You are really...not worthy of the name!"

As a result, as soon as he finished speaking, he was slapped heavily on his shoulder, and he staggered and almost fell.

Cai Shaozhang raised his head and saw the tall man who had been chopping wood before, standing beside him at this time, looking at him with a bad face, and said: "You are in a mess!"

Yan Jing glared at Cai Shaozhang, then looked at Wei Lingxiu: "Ling Xiu, don't worry about this lame man! You paint very well, I like it very much."

His family, Ling Xiu, is painting and playing in his own home. Does anyone need to comment? This person is really boring.

Cai Shaozhang was "beaten" by someone, and suddenly became angry, and said to Wei Ling, "Yan Jingze, just like this, let your servants beat me?"

Among those who came with Cai Shaozhang, there were actually some who were dissatisfied with Cai Shaozhang, but at this time they also felt that the "Yan Jing Ze" was not doing the right thing.

No matter how Cai Shaozhang is a scholar, how can he indulge his subordinates to treat him like this?

"Who do you think is the subordinate?" Wei Lingxiu said angrily.

Yan Jingze also said: "Did you make a mistake? I am Yan Jingze."

Cai Shaozhang and others: "..."
