Chapter 18: 18th

Chapter 18
The husband that Li Jin had worshipped before was a talented scholar named Song Yuan.
Song Yuan passed the county examination, government examination and hospital examination when he was weak (20 years old), and finally obtained the fame as a scholar.
After that, he participated in two rural examinations, but both of them lost his name. Later, he lost his fighting spirit and didn't plan to bother to think about that person, so he was called a scholar who fell behind.
Mr. Song’s home was originally in Xiatan Village. Later, he gained a reputation as a talented scholar, so his fellow tribe bought him a house in the town so that he can spend time teaching his tribe’s children to enlighten.
In addition, Song Yuan also accepted other students from surrounding villages.
After all, being a husband is not doing charity, and Song Yuan can't live without meals, so if he accepts students from other villages, he will have to pay for repairs.
Li Jin bought ten sticks of bacon, carried them across the main street, and walked towards Mr. Song's house.
They usually go to class in a side room in the front yard of Mr. Song's house, and there are less than ten students in total, so they are not restrained.
When passing by the bun shop, Li Jin bought two more plain buns.
The lady boss still remembered him as a handsome offspring, and without saying anything, she wrapped him up.
It just so happened that the daughter of the proprietress who was still in her boudoir came out to help her steam the buns, and she just saw Li Jin's profile.
Her daughter said: "Mother, this person is so familiar."
The businessmen in the town did not have the family rules to keep their daughters and brothers from getting out of the door. The proprietress’s daughter used Jingcheng to help her steam buns.
The proprietress said: "Coincidentally, the last time I saw him come to buy steamed buns, I thought he was familiar with him. It seems that he should be from the surrounding villages."
Her daughter wrinkled without thinking.
"But I just can't remember when I saw it."
Li Jin didn't know the fact that the original body used to be drunk before was almost remembered by the proprietress of the bun shop.
He quickly finished eating the buns to cushion his stomach, followed the route in memory, walked to the residential area of ​​the town, turned two turns, and saw a familiar house.
He stepped forward and knocked on the door.
Mr. Song's eldest son came out and opened the door.
The child is only seven years old this year, wearing a reduced version of the gown, with a round face, which is very pleasing.
After he saw Li Jin, he asked seriously, "This is Song Xiucai's house. Who is the person here and what is the master?"
…The first seven-year-old children speak so verbally.
But Li Jin was even more ashamed of himself. He was Song Yuan's student, and the kid didn't even remember him.
"Mr. Song's disciple, Li Jin. I was sick some time ago and asked for leave, and came here today to cancel."
After hearing this, the kid said, "Wait a minute, I will go back", and then he ran back and called for someone.
Today is the time of Mu Xiu, Li Jin's classmates have all gone back on holiday, and Mr. Song is also free.
When he heard the name ‘Li Jin’, he frowned first, but then remembered the scene where Li Jin’s mother kneeled down and begged him two years ago. He still put down the tea cup and said, "Call him in."
Mr. Song's house has two entrances. After entering from the main entrance, walk a few steps to reach the shadow wall.
The child led him in through the hanging flower gate next to him, passed through the hand-shoveling veranda on the left, walked to the end and then turned right, to the main hall.
The children in Mr. Song's family are very polite. After bringing Li Jin over, they ran away without telling them.
Li Jin put the back basket outside the door, carrying bacon and two hundred words of Xiu Li to enter.
He bent over for Mr. Song and said at the same time: "Student Li Jin, meet Mr. Song."
Seeing his upright attitude, Mr. Song's expression improved a lot.
Let Li Jin put things down first, sat opposite him, and asked faintly: "A few days ago, you asked for leave, saying that Fulang gave birth. Is it going well now?"
This is the leave requested by the original owner to skip class.
Although he didn't care about husband Lang, he used this as an excuse to skip class, which was really mean.
Li Jin put on a smile on his face: "Successfully gave birth to a brother, and husband is safe."
Mr. Song said: "Looking at you now that the prodigal son is turning around, then I won't talk too much.
People who are already fathers should avoid rashness and enthusiasm, be dedicated to learning, and gain fame. "
Li Jin naturally responded.
Mr. Song asked again: "Do you want to participate in the child birth test in February next year? You have been filial piety for the past two years, and you have been delayed for a long time.
The students here usually take the first exam at the age of fourteen, not to gain fame, but to feel the atmosphere and familiarize themselves with the environment.
To prepare for the next one in one fell swoop. "
...So this is to use the formal exam as a mock exam.
Li Jin said: "Mr. think I can take the exam for my knowledge?"
Mr. Song didn't say anything euphemistically: "Of course I couldn't pass the test the first time, so I asked you to familiarize yourself with the environment first."
Li Jin wanted to say that he could rescue it.
After all, I’m an adult, and my concentration and self-control are much better than those of a child. I might have a chance to study hard like a head hanging from a beam and a cone...
Mr. Song saw Li Jin's thoughts and exhorted: "Don't go too far.
The child student test is divided into three sessions. The first county test involves five subjects, which is very difficult to prepare. "
After a pause, he said again, "But if you have this self-motivated spirit, you will prepare paper and pen tomorrow, copy all the Four Books and Five Classics here, and go back and recite more.
If you can memorize these books in September, I will teach you the writing patterns of eight-part essays, classics, and policy arguments in advance. "
Li Jin quickly stood up and said again: "Bye Mr. Xie."
Mr. Song was very satisfied with his attitude, and this time Li Jin was completely different from the cringing and absent-minded state in the past.
It's as if you really grew up suddenly.
As a gentleman, I naturally don't pour cold water on hardworking students.
Seeing that it was almost time for lunch, Li Jin didn't stay much, and went out to buy paper and pen.
=
Mr. Song's family is not carelessly wealthy, his wife is a woman from the same village.
There is no concubine room.
auzw.com When eating at noon, my wife was a little surprised when she saw the two hundred texts.
"The child said that Li Jin came to see you. I didn't take it seriously. Why did he suddenly give gifts?"
After a pause, "I knew I should keep him for dinner."
Although the two hundred wen is not much, it still has to be earned by ordinary dealers for half a month.
Mr. Song thought, his wife is good in everything, but he values ​​this yellow and white thing too much.
In his opinion, Li Jin can take as many rituals as he can, and rituals are light and affectionate.
Song Yuan said: "It's okay. I will ask him to copy the "Four Books" and "Five Classics" tomorrow to recite. You can keep him for dinner tomorrow."
Wife: "..." She really just talked about it.
Don't think her husband is a talent, but he is so dull.
But it’s good to do things sternly and decently, and you won’t have any moths in your life.

Li Jin visited two or three shops on the main street this time and compared the prices of paper and pen.
He used to use a computer to write medical records before, and at most he used a pen when signing.
Once through, everything went back to before liberation.
Li Jin chose the cheapest rabbit hair brush in the end. As for the paper and pen before the original owner, it seemed that they were all sold to buy wine and drink.
After being addicted to alcohol, he couldn't control anything. Li Jin had seen this kind of person in his life, but he didn't expect the original owner to be one of them.
As for the paper for copying and practicing calligraphy, Li Jin plans to buy a different one.
The purpose of copying the book is to keep the ink evenly, so that it will be easier to memorize in the future; but to practice calligraphy, it will consume more paper, and Li Jin plans to buy the cheapest paper with raw edges.
"Shounen Lang, rice paper costs a dollar or two. It's not a good deal to buy. If you buy a quart bamboo leaf paper, it only costs 200 liters per dollar, and raw-edge paper costs 40 liters.
What if you buy a dollar for both and give you two rabbit brushes and a piece of ink? "
The store sees that Li Jin is young. Although he wears a scholar's robe, the color has faded a bit because of the frequent washing.
At first glance, he is not a child of a rich family.
So he also gave it a little bit, the poor family has a precious son, if this young man becomes a young man in the future and is admitted to a talent, then his store will definitely not worry about running out of business!
Anyway, he won't lose money by selling like this, but he won't make much.
The main raw material of bamboo leaf paper is bamboo. The surface of the paper is smooth. It is not as convenient as rice paper for inking. It takes a while to dry after copying the book.
But it is much more affordable than rice paper.
Li Jin felt that the boss was really good, so he bought both bamboo-leaf paper and unedged paper and put them in the back basket.
As for the brush and ink, he wrapped it up and put it in his cuff.
The boss saw that Li Jin was still looking at the store after he bought it. He promoted: "I still have some copybooks here. I have both Yan Ti and Liu Ti. Can the young man need it?"
Li Jin finally bought both copybooks.
Although he learned Liu Ti in his previous life, he has lived in ancient times in his life, and he does not want to learn only one type of font.
Liu Ti and Yan Ti are now the mainstream fonts for writing articles in imperial examinations.
But because of the mainstream, it has become a font that every examinee will write.
If you want your answer sheet to stand out from the crowd, it is natural not to copy and imitate blindly.
Li Jin thought about it, maybe, after he has been practicing calligraphy for more than ten years, he can draw on the best of everyone and write a font with his own unique style.
For example, the pavilion style that prevailed during the Ming and Qing dynasties.
It is now mid-June, and the exam is due in February next year. Li Jin can only start from copying now.
He only hopes that before the exam, the Liu body written by himself can be fast and neat.
Neat and clean documents are the most important thing for the examiner and supervisor.
If you want to show off your skills, then put the cart before the horse.
This is an imperial examination, not a calligraphy competition.
Li Jin asked himself that he is not a genius who can create a mainstream calligraphy, but calligraphy can really cultivate his sentiment.
He intends to do good handwriting when he has extra time in the future.
Not enough talent, diligent to make up.
As a result, Li Jin spent a total of 65 essays.
But he wants to buy more than just these, Li Jin thinks, eggs and vegetables can be bought from the villagers.
The teenager has recently been recovering from his body, and his diet can no longer be so light. He plans to buy more pork belly to make braised pork.
And the juvenile seemed to like the meat buns at the entrance of the street. Li Jin bought two more and took them back.
When the teenager gnawed the meat buns, his eyes were shining and his face was satisfied.
The lady boss looked at his straight back, feeling familiar and strange.
Just say that this robe obviously feels quite familiar, why can't I remember who this person is?
Suddenly, the lady boss's daughter remembered.
"Mother, that's the one who likes to drink in the tavern! But it seems he hasn't been here for a long time recently."
There are many people in the town, everyone is not so familiar, and no one knows who is following.
Therefore, no one knows what happened to Li Jin.
At most, it’s because I often do business and see it before I pay attention.
With such a reminder, the lady boss also remembered herself.
She said: "The two look alike, but they always feel like they have changed people..."
The author has something to say: 　　 Thank you zui~~, Xiang Qing x3, the nutrient solution for taking your lie to hell~~Thank you~~
Li Jin began the journey of feeding the husband.
On the repair day in mid-June, feed [Meat Bun x2] [Potato Braised Pork x1]
Good morning! !
Today I’m going to change the list (yes, I change the list every Thursday), and the stupid author is looking forward to the next list. I can’t sleep. QAQ is in the morning without knowing it.
