Chapter 22 The helplessness of youth

showread;

In the afternoon of that day, Chen Xi wrote the playbook and sent it to the county government office.

This is the first time Chen Xi has arrived at the county government office. The red door face is hanging high above the four words "Ninghua County Government Office". There is a big drum on the right wall of the gate. The street is very majestic to the stone lion.

Chen Xi was about to walk into the yamen without thinking much. The famous yamen stopped him and shouted, "Where did the wild boy come from? Did you just break into the yamen?"

Chen Xi took out the playbook he put in his arms and handed it forward: "Official, an old man asked me to send this to the county magistrate and receive the reward."

The yamen took it over and opened it for a few glances. Unfortunately, he didn't know much about literacy, and he couldn't read it after stumbled on a few words. He threw the playbook to Chen Xi: "What a mess I wrote."

Chen Xi showed an innocent expression and said, "When I say to the official, the old man said this is a playbook, and it was announced by the county magistrate."

"Hey, there is really someone who takes this job and you are waiting. I'll go in and report to Master Xia."

As he said that, he went in and left Shenxi at the door looking forward.

Half an hour passed, the yamen came out with a smile on his face, something was bulging in his arms, but the playbook that Chen Xi asked him to hand in was gone.

"Where are you kid?" The official came out with a arrogant look on his face.

Chen Xidao: "The old man said that he was not allowed to leave without getting the reward."

The yamen was angry and shouted, "You guys know nothing, what kind of rewards are you? There are two big boys here. You can buy candy and leave quickly. If you don't leave, I will use this killing stick to hit you!" As he said that, he waved the stick in his hand and made a gesture of beating people.

Chen Xi was stunned. Anyone with a discerning eye could tell that there must be a reward inside. The yamen officer bullied him as a child and didn't want to give him the money at all. Unfortunately, he had been busy for a long time and now he has changed two copper coins.

"Official, you can't do this." Chen Xi argued with reason.

"Bang!"

The yamen did what he said, and picked up the Killing Stick and started beating. Fortunately, Shen Xi was avoiding it in time and was not hit on the back, but his butt hurt so much.

The official's face was fierce and terrifying: "Go back and tell the dead ghost who instructed you that if you want to give you money, come to the county government to see if he has the courage."

The people do not compete with the officials, and Chenxi has a kind of affliction that is so mute that he eats coptis and has indescribable pain.

On the way back, Chen Xi became more and more unwilling to accept it. He pinched his fists tightly and said to himself: "I thought I would have no choice if I don't give me any rewards? Let's take a look!"

On the third day after Chen Xi gave the playbook, the Southern Opera Team performed in the county government office, greeting Lin Zhongye, the doctor of the Ministry of Works. Most of the gentry in Ninghua County and surrounding areas attended to accompany him. There were three plays in total. In addition to the retention playbook of the opera troupe, the remaining two were the female princess and Silang's mother written by Chen Xi.

Two days later, the Nan Opera troupe set up a stage on an open space in the central part of Ninghua County and performed new operas one after another for the people to watch for free. This was to enjoy the people in accordance with the requirements of Lin Langzhong of the Ministry of Works.

In the past two days, the people in the county town were as lively as the New Year. The theater was surrounded by water, and the county government had to send businessmen to maintain order.

The play of the female princess is down-to-earth, causing a huge sensation, and everyone is circulating, and every lyrics of the play is repeatedly mentioned. On the contrary, Silang visited his mother because the series of heroic legends of the Yang family generals during the Hongzhi period had not yet been formed into a Romance of the Romance, and there was no big response. At this time, the storytellers in the teahouse and restaurants were basically all old jokes, and even the stories of heroes of the Sui and Tang Dynasties had not formed a fixed version, so few people mentioned the incidents in the early Song Dynasty.

Chen Xi finally realized the huge need for spiritual entertainment for the people of this era. At this time, people's biggest entertainment method is listening to books and watching operas. It seems that if you want to make money in the future, you have to think about it.

In order to test his own ideas and at the same time take revenge on the yamen who deducted the rewards, Chen Xi spent a few days to compile a romance book describing the story of Yang Lao Linggong, She Taijun and the seven sons of the Yang family guarding the northern border and serving the country with loyalty. Although the story is not very complete, the whole book is only twenty chapters, and they are all deleted. However, because the influence of Silang Tanmu, who performed in the southern opera troupe of Tingzhou Prefecture, was slowly fermenting, Chen Xi sent the story book to the teahouse to the storyteller, and the story of the Yang family general began to become popular in the city within two days.

Chen Xi did not make any money from this writing book. He knew that the matter would sooner or later reach Han County Magistrate and Lin from the Ministry of Works, and then he would be able to seek justice.

During this period, Chen Xi only went to Tudi Temple to study and recognize words on the first day, and spent the rest of his time doing his own business. Chen Xi originally thought that the old man was old and stupid and would not notice it, but on the eighth day, before the sun set in the afternoon, Zhou took Lin Dai home angrily. Zhou entered the yard without saying anything, and when he saw Chen Xi, he picked up a broom and beat him.

"Mom, what are you doing? Why do you fight without any distinction? There must be a reason for the matter!"

Chen Xi was beaten up and down, and the injuries he had not healed by the yamen on his butt because of the showbook, and he suffered heavy injuries again, which made him grin.

Zhou's face was gloomy and he cursed while chasing: "You unconscienced little boy, I worked hard to work and earn money to send you to study, but you skipped classes every day. I trust you so much!"

Chen Xi rolled and crawled, touched the crooked tree beside the yard, stroked his butt and exclaimed pain. Zhou shouted: "Come down!"

Chen Xi pouted, his face full of grievances: "Mom, who are you talking about spreading rumors? I write you the words I learned every day when I come back. You don't know if the school doesn't start classes in the afternoon. What's wrong with me at home at this time?"

Zhou held a broom in his hand, put his hands on his hips, looked up at Chen Xi, and his face was full of hatred: "Who knows what you are trying to deceive me? My mother asked Dai'er, and she said that before you went to study, you would scribble on the ground and deceive her by saying it was a word."

"I happened to meet your husband in the tailoring shop today. I asked about your situation. He said you haven't been to class these days."

Chen Xi didn't expect that Zhou would meet the old and dizzy old Tongsheng so by chance, and quickly made a quibble: "Mom, you wronged me. I actually went to school every day, but the children there were all tall and big. Seeing that I was bullying me at a young age, I didn't dare to go in, so I had to hide behind the corner and listen to my husband's words. I didn't believe it. My mother took me to see him and asked him to take the exam, and I would definitely be able to do it!"

"real?"

Zhou's anger was slightly relieved, and she frowned slightly. She had seen Chen Xi's enthusiasm for entering school before, and Zhou Yi blamed herself for this. If the husband hadn't said in person that Chen Xi hadn't gone to school, she wouldn't have believed that her son would give up such a good opportunity to read and recognize words.

Chen Xi said aggrievedly: "Mom, you don't know. I bullied me the first day when I went to the older children. Even the paper and pen you bought for me were snatched away by them. After that, they said I was a country bun. They beat me up when I saw me. I had to study secretly every day and didn't dare to come back to tell my mother."

Zhou was skeptical: "You little brat, don't mess with me. Let's go, I will take you to see the gentleman now. If what you said is true, I must tear down those little bastards who dare to bully you. Come down!"

Chen Xi then jumped off the tree and glared at Lin Daiyi fiercely. When Zhou's attacks him, Lin Dai's report was considered an accomplice.

Zhou pulled Chen Xi, like escorting a criminal, and forced him to go out to Lao Tongsheng's house. He also gave him six taels of wine to apologize.

Lao Tongsheng's home is near the Tudi Temple, near the city wall, and is a small square courtyard. As soon as he arrived at the door, he saw a few half-year-old boys running out from it. An old woman was washing clothes by the ancient well in front of the door.

"Who are you looking for?" The old woman looked at Zhou after asking.

Zhou stepped forward: "This lady, is this home of Mr. Xu in the school?"

The old woman then knew what was going on, so she hurriedly got up inside and called Lao Tongsheng out.

The old Tongsheng, named Xu, looked at Chen Xi's eyes and immediately understood what was going on. He shook his head and sighed a few times, looking disappointed.

Zhou said: "Mr. Xu, after I got home, I asked the child. He said that someone bullied him in your school and he did not dare to go to school, but he hid in the dark every day and learned the words you taught. Mr. Xu may have misunderstood the child."

Lao Tongsheng shook his head: "How could I be wronged by Master? If I can't see him, I can't see him. Although I am old, I am not blind."

Chen Xi jumped out: "Sir, you can't wrongly accuse a good person of being unaware of me and saying that I'm not here. Then you might as well test me now and see if I can write."

Lao Tong looked reluctant, but seeing the six taels of wine brought by Zhou, he said, "Okay, since you said you have been listening to the class these days, then you can write the word "li" on the ground and take a look."

Just talking about pronunciation, how could Chen Xi know what character Mr. Mr. taught me these two days? Chen Xi asked: "I don't know which character character Mr. Mr. Mr. Mr. Mr. Mr. Mr. Mr. Mr. Mr. Mr. Mr. Mr. Mr. Mr. Mr. Mr. Mr. Mr. Mr. Mr. Mr. Mr. Mr. Mr. Mr. Mr. Mr. Mr. Mr. Mr. Mr. Mr. Mr. Mr. Mr. Mr. Mr. Mr. Mr. Mr. Mr. Mr. Mr.

Mr. Xu smiled disdainfully: "You little kid actually took advantage of your tricks and asked you to write the word "li". There are so many names, can you know other word "li"?"

Chen Xi said loudly: "Sir, this is wrong. Just because there is a pronunciation, how do I know which one is? Power, the common users can stand up, the power of strength, the profit of interests, or the chilling trembling, etc. Which one did you ask me to write?"

Mr. Xu was a little surprised: "Do you know the chilling word "Zhu"?"

"Li, the five grains, may be the surname. It is chilling from the biography of cruel officials in the record of the Grand Historian. The Grand Historian said that he was moved to the prefect of Dingxiang, and the more than 200 people were punished in the prison of Dingxiang. He secretly went in and saw more than 200 people. He even arrested Ju and said that he was relieved of his death. On that day, he killed more than 400 people. Later, the county was chilling and the cunning people assisted the officials to govern. I wonder what my opportunistic little kid said is correct?"

Chen Xi's speech was well organized, and the quotation of classics was reasonable and well-founded. Mr. Xu was stunned because he didn't even know where the word "chilling" came from.

"you"

Mr. Xu looked at Chen Xi, his face full of disbelief.

He lived in his fifties and failed to pass the exam for a scholar. He had long doubted his life. Now even a little kid can overwhelm him with his knowledge, making him feel ashamed.

Chen Xi was also angry at the troubles that this sour and corrupt scholar had made for him. Originally, everyone would not violate the waters of the rivers, and I would escape my class when you earn your tuition, and get each other's needs. Now this old stubborn complained in person that he could not get out of Taiwan. In addition, Chen Xi had encountered too many unfair things these days, which made him angry and didn't think so much and blurted out.

Mr. Xu took a deep breath and his eyes were a little solemn: "The little kid is right, just write down the strength of the strength."

Chen Xi picked up a sharp stone from the ground and wrote the word "li" on the mud. Originally, this word was simple, and Chen Xi wrote it neatly and neatly.

After seeing it, Mr. Xu nodded slightly: "Mrs. Chen, the son is not lying. I am old and stupid, and I keep my eyes closed and I don't know that there is a talent like the son around me, with his knowledge, and I have no face to teach you again."

Zhou Shi's face was surprised. She didn't know why Mr. Xu felt that this was so emotional.

But Mr. Xu was unwilling to say more. Not only did he confiscate the wine brought by Zhou, but he even returned Shu Xiu, which Shen Mingjun had previously handed over to Zhou, and finally closed the door and refused to let Zhou go in to apologize.

Zhou looked at Chen Xi: "What the hell is going on?"

Chen Xi shrugged: "Mom, you have also seen it. Mr. I wrote my handwriting right. What's wrong with me?"

Zhou said angrily: "Go home and get rid of you!" After that, he turned around and left.

Chen Xi followed Zhou and thought about how to lie after returning.
