"Wu Po Zi, don't the Chen family want to?"

In the Liu family's hall, Mrs. Liu was talking to matchmaker Wu.

Matchmaker Wu replied: "It's not that I'm unwilling to do it, but Mrs. Chen said that Sanlang was about to take the exam and had no time to take care of it, so she wanted to wait until the boy took the exam before making a decision."

Mrs. Liu sneered: "Isn't it just a slight remark that I want to see if Saburo can become a scholar and be able to bargain? I don't even urinate. With Saburo's virtue, I will never expect it in my life."

The betrothal fee has been reduced by 200 currencies, but the Chen family is still hesitant, which makes her feel unhappy.

Matchmaker Wu said: "Then wait a few more days. Sanlang is born with a terrifying scene. This year should be the same as in previous years. He will go home after going through the motions."

"Hmph, you will have to add another fifty-tale etiquette fee to let them know, and if you miss the opportunity, you will have to pay the price."

Mrs. Liu said in disappointment.

...

After being punished by Xu Jun for an hour, his legs were deformed, Cao Guitang and Ma Jintai dared not come to the martial arts hall these days.

Chen Sanlang was happy to be quiet.

Xu Jun thought he would not come even if he wanted to take the boy test. He never thought that Chen Sanlang would go to the martial arts hall on time every morning and practiced his skills very consciously.

After a period of hard work, Chen Sanlang's horse stance has been erected to a very standard, with his legs spreading to the waist, his chest lifting his head, and he looks a little like a horse.

——Standing out a horse is the profound realm of horse stance.

Unfortunately, Saburo's horse was really thin. When the wind blew his clothes, it was light and fluttering, revealing his thin hands and feet.

Feeding blood and raising swords every day is too much loss. If he hadn't been working hard to eat and drink, and practicing martial arts and strengthening his body, he would probably be unable to hold on and fall down.

Xu Jun didn't expect to have him, but he felt that the weak scholar deserved his name and was so weak that he punched him, but he was afraid that Chen Sanlang would be swept away by the fist wind.

"Mr. Chen, exams are important. At this time, you should go to the private school more and review your homework."

Xu Jun didn't think he had the talent for martial arts. On the one hand, he had a weak foundation; on the other hand, he started too late and couldn't understand why he was so persistent.

Chen Sanlang replied: "The way of literature and martial arts is to be relaxed and relaxed. If you are tired of reading, why not move your body and bones."

Xu Jun said, "Then it will be up to you."

After tying his horse, Chen Sanlang did not go to the private school anymore and went home directly. When he was passing by the streets and alleys, two people came out in front of him to block the way.

Looking at Cao Guitang and Ma Jintai who were not kind to come, Chen Sanlang frowned.

Cao Guitang grinned and said, "A nerd, he is diligent enough."

Ma Jintai rubbed his hands together and said viciously: "I go to show my diligence early every morning. Do you really think we are dead?"

Obviously, Xu Jun has been regarded as a forbidden body.

Chen Sanlang hugged his chest with his hands and suddenly said, "You want to hit me?"

Cao Guitang and Ma Jintai looked at each other, but they didn't expect that the other party was so smart, so they asked directly.

"childish!"

Chen Sanlang scolded: "If you want to enter the yamen and get hit by a board, just do it."

Cao and Ma looked at each other with big eyes and were indeed drunk.

Jingxian County has a clean and strict governance. Although they were from wealthy families, they had no power at all. If they beat people in the street, they would still be scholars. If Chen Sanlang sued him to the county government, they would be in trouble and would be out of control. After all, Chen Sanlang is not a poor boy.

"I don't have the courage. If you don't block the way, please give in."

Chen Sanlang left, however.

Two rich disciples were left behind, and they were so angry that their ignorance was in full swing. They thought that they would block each other in the streets and alleys, but by just being scared, they could scare Chen Sanlang to the ground and make a fool of themselves. Unexpectedly, they were scared in the end.

"No, something is wrong."

Cao Guitang murmured.

Ma Jintai scratched his head: "No, why did this nerd change his personal life?"

Chen Sanlang's performance is clear-headed, calm and calm, and has a clear understanding of the pros and cons at a glance, which is very different from the image of the nerd who only knows how to focus on studying.

"Why……"

I couldn't think of any reason for this for a moment, and sighed in unison. The two of them felt dull and went to Zuichun Tower to drink in depressed manner.

Zuichun Tower is the only one in the county. It is very happy to be a man. Every night, there are many guests.

After drinking a few glasses of wine, Ma Jintai pressed the wine glass hard on the table: "I can't swallow this tone."

Cao Guitang said: "So what can we do?"

"We are not easy to do, but others can."

"you mean?"

Ma Jintai said: "If you have money, you can make the devil push the mill. I think Wu Lai's head is good."

Hearing the three words "Wu Laitou", Cao Guitang's eyes also lit up: "How to do it?"

Ma Jintai said coldly: "He wants to participate in the boy test, but we are not as good as he wants...drink and drink!"

It turned out that the girl who was accompanying the drink came in, but she didn't want to make a statement here, so she deliberately started drinking. As for the detailed implementation plan, it would not be too late to discuss it when there were no outsiders.

...

As soon as he entered the house, Chen Sanlang heard someone talking in the hall, a very familiar voice. He was inexplicably happy and rushed in and saw a burly body sitting on a chair.

The second brother-in-law Jiang Caoqi.

Isn’t I the second sister sitting next to my brother-in-law?

"Sanlang is back."

"I have met my second sister and my second brother-in-law."

Chen Sanlang saluted respectfully and then sat aside.

He had two sisters above him. The eldest sister married far away from Nanyang Mansion and would not go back to her parents' home for a while. The second sister married nearby and was in Gaotian Township, our county, and it was only ten miles away to the city.

My second brother-in-law Jiang Caoqi is a butcher. He is born with arm strength and is good at playing with swords. It is said that this sword technique is passed down from ancestors and has been passed down for several generations. When he disassembles the pig, his flesh and blood will be separated in just a moment. He is very delicate and has a bit of the style of "ao Ding cuts a cow".

Relying on his good swordsmanship and the accumulation of his ancestors, his family is well-off and belongs to a wealthy family in the village.

Jiangcao Qi and Kong Wu are powerful, loyal and wealthy, able to gather people, and have appeal.

But the second sister opened her mouth. She accidentally heard about all the abnormal behaviors her younger brother had recently, and immediately rushed back to her parents' home in a hurry. As soon as she met, she asked questions like a cannon.

Chen Sanlang was about to answer the first question, but the second and third questions had arrived one after another, and he was speechless and looked at his second brother-in-law for help.

However, my second brother-in-law sat straight, looking at his eyes, nose, and heart, majestic.

After scolding her, the second sister felt a little thirsty, picked up the tea and took a big sip, and asked, "Sanlang, what do you want?"

Chen Sanlang exhaled: "I have already signed up for the boy who is this year's year-old."

The second sister advised earnestly: "I said to Sanlang, you are already in your prime and should be sensible. As the saying goes: Sometimes you must have it, but don't force it in your destiny. You can't learn, and you have hands and feet, and you won't die. Why bother to take another exam? Look at your mother, your hair is a little whiter, so you can't be down-to-earth, make a living and share your worries for your family?"

The second brother-in-law couldn't help but interrupt and said, "Second sister, Sanlang is a scholar. Is it natural for him to go to the exam to get fame and fortune?"

The second sister gave him a blank look: "If I can get the exam, how could I stop it? But I have been taking the exam for several years, and I know I can't take the exam..."

"Second sister."

Chen Wangshi was afraid that she would hurt Chen Sanlang's heart if she said it too straightforwardly, so she spoke quickly.

The second sister's nose felt sore, and tears appeared in her eyes: "Mother, I'm all for Saburo."

Chen Sanlang stood up and said, "Second sister, I know that for my own good, I will let me take another year of exam. If I still fail, I will learn to kill pigs with my brother-in-law."

The second sister snorted and burst into tears and laughed: "You can't even take up a pig's knife, but you can't even kill a pig."

The second brother-in-law asked, "Sanlang, I heard you went to learn martial arts?"

Chen Sanlang replied: "I just feel weak, so I have to practice."

The second sister spat and said, "Nothing."

Finally, I felt weak and no longer scolded me.

At noon, the family had a meal in a good mood. After dinner, my second sister and second brother-in-law were about to go home.

Before leaving, my second brother-in-law quietly pulled Chen Sanlang aside, handed a ingot of silver quickly, weighing five taels, and whispered: "Sanlang, this is the personal friend that my brother-in-law usually accumulates. Don't tell your sister."

Chen Sanlang hesitated and said, "Brother-in-law, you usually spend a lot of money, why not keep it for use?"

He knew that Jiang Caoqi's character was eager to be righteous and righteous. If anyone in the village had trouble, he would not have to speak, Jiang Caoqi would send money to his door, and it would be like spending money.

For this matter, my second sister nagged a lot, and the financial constraints were restricted and no longer allowed to squander it.

The second brother-in-law smiled and said, "No matter how expensive it is, it is natural to give some money to my brother-in-law. Sanlang, my brother-in-law is optimistic about you and has a bright future in the future. Don't forget your brother-in-law."

Speaking of this, Chen Sanlang no longer felt pretentious and reached out to take the money: "Thank you brother-in-law."

As soon as my brother-in-law walked away, my second sister came up again and handed her a purse directly. It was heavy, at least a dozen taels: "Sanlang, my mother refuses to accept it, so I will take it for you. Remember to be kind and cultivate her character, be more filial to her mother, and she is old..."

When I said the last sentence, I couldn't help but choke up.

Chen Sanlang emphasized: "Don't worry, second sister, I can."

But the second sister reminded: "This money is the private house I usually save. Don't tell your brother-in-law."

"ah!"

Chen Sanlang's expression was strange. The couple between the second sister and the second brother-in-law were really interesting.

The two portions of silver were about twenty taels, which was a relatively large amount of money. In the past, Sanlang was not a housekeeper and didn't know the matter of food and food, but he asked for money when he wanted to use it. However, now he understood that the family's expenses were already overwhelmed and were almost on the verge of losing his entire family. He really had to pay attention.

This money comes at the right time. With twenty taels of money, you can save some money. There is no need to reach out to ask your mother for money during the trial.

That night, there was a breeze and the spring rain was drizzling. In the distance, the sound of frogs came loudly.

This night, this rain sounds, fresh and warm, with a vigorous breath flowing.

It was already the hour of Hai, and the lights in the room were still on.
