In the early morning of the next day, Xue Poye was awakened by a gentle knock on the door.
He slept soundly on the chair that night. Xue Poye rubbed his face and stood up. Seeing that Ye Tianxiang was still sleeping deeply, he shook his head and opened the door. The unique morning air rushed into his nostrils and refreshed his whole body.
It was the waiter from the store who came over to ask what kind of breakfast he needed to prepare. "Dongfeng Pavilion" is the largest inn in Hangzhou, and the service is extremely attentive.
Xue Poye thought for a while and ordered: "In this case, you get a chicken and stew some chicken soup." After saying that, he stuffed a few coins into the waiter's hand, which was enough to buy more than a dozen chickens. The waiter smiled brightly and thanked him repeatedly.
Just as he was about to prepare, Xue Poye called again: "Wait a moment and wait until I come back."
After closing the door, I left the "Dongfeng Pavilion" and went to the drugstore to buy a ginseng stick. I felt a little bit of pain in my body. I just saw that Ye Tianxiang was weak and weak. If he didn't take a supplement, he might not be able to recover for a while, so he took the ginseng with him.
I returned to Dongfeng Pavilion, but sooner or later the cost would have to be recouped a thousand times from Ye Tianxiang.
He handed the ginseng to the waiter and asked him to put the ginseng and chicken together, stew the soup and then send it to the room. After giving instructions, he returned to the room. Ye Tianxiang was still sleeping.
Xue Poye sighed. In fact, being kidnapped and suffering a lot this time was not necessarily a bad thing for the young and energetic Ye Tianxiang.
Ye Tianxiang's sharpness is too strong, like a hard blade, it is easy to break. After suffering such a hardship this time, I am afraid that his arrogance will be reduced a lot, which will naturally be of great help to his future path.
When the waiter brought the cooked ginseng chicken soup and Xue Poye opened it, the steam began to rise, and a strong fragrance penetrated his nose and filled the room.
Perhaps because the fragrance was too strong, Ye Tianxiang actually moved his body.
Xue Poye said calmly: "Are you awake? If you have the strength, sit up and drink soup."
Ye Tianxiang turned his head, the tiredness disappeared a lot from his pale and bloodless face, and he showed a smile. His voice was still weak and he said: "Well... my benefactor is long..."
"The sun is already beating down on my butt, it's too early to fart." Xue Poye said casually. After that, he scooped some ginseng chicken soup from the soup can and put it into the soup bowl. He handed it over and said, "You are too weak, drink some chicken soup."
Replenish some energy."
Ye Tianxiang took the soup bowl and said gratefully: "Thank you... Thank you so much for saving my life." Although he was weak, he recovered a lot of his physical strength after a night's rest, and his speech became much smoother.
"I didn't mean to save you." Xue Poye looked very cold: "It's just that when I passed Moyun Village, I heard that Moyun Village was a gangster den, so I went in to take a look at it at night. It was a coincidence that I rescued you.
You don’t need to thank me.” This was a statement that I had thought about a long time ago, but now that I say it, it is natural and true.
Ye Tianxiang's eyes flashed with murderous intent, and he gritted his teeth and said: "Moyun Village!"
Xue Poye saw this and breathed a sigh of relief. It seemed that Ye Tianxiang was already convinced that he was kidnapped by Moyun Village. Although this was a bit of a frame-up, Xue Poye didn't feel the slightest bit guilty. Regardless of the situation in Moyun Village,
A hero is still a robber and bandit. He almost lost his life that night. Today, he takes the blame for himself, which can be regarded as an even deal.
"Eat!" Xue Poye said, looking at the soup bowl.
Ye Tianxiang nodded gratefully, took a few sips with the spoon, and said with a sore nose: "I haven't seen ginseng for a while, ***, those bandits dare to give me scraps of vegetables every day.
Eat, I haven't even eaten the scraps of soup these days. When I get better, I will conquer Moyun Village." At the end of the sentence, his voice was filled with resentment.
After all, he was young. Thinking of the torture he had suffered recently, Ye Tianxiang couldn't control himself. His eyes turned red and he was about to burst into tears.
Xue Poye said coldly: "What a decent man you are, crying and crying like a woman. If I had known you were so incompetent, I really shouldn't have saved you."
Ye Tianxiang hurriedly stopped the tears that were about to fall, looked at Xue Poye and said: "My benefactor, I will definitely repay you, I am Ye...!" Before he could finish speaking, Xue Poye had stopped it with his hands and said:
"I don't want to know who you are. It's just that you draw your sword to help when the road is rough." He sighed and said in a very vicissitude: "I am just a lonely passerby, leaving no worries."
Xue Poye felt that his voice sounded quite like a hero from outside the world, and he was very satisfied in his heart. This kind of young man must have great admiration for heroism.
Sure enough, Ye Tianxiang showed admiration and awe and said: "It turns out that the hero is really a master of the world, I...I...!" He was so excited that he couldn't speak, his hands shook, and the ginseng chicken soup splashed on the quilt.
.
Xue Poye knew that this was the end of the matter. It would be good to let him know that he was his savior. If he continued to pester him, he would not show his heroic spirit, but he was worried that this boy could not see clearly.
Face, he came forward and looked face to face with Ye Tianxiang. His original intention was to let Ye Tianxiang see his face clearly so that he could recognize his face in the future. He whispered in his mouth: "Don't tell other people about my rescue of you.
You yourself have forgotten earlier." After a pause, he said calmly: "I have paid for the room and food, you can rest here." With a pair of sleeves, he walked straight out of the door.
Ye Tianxiang hurriedly shouted: "Benefactor, you... where are you going?"
Xue Poye pretended to smile boldly and said: "Come when you should come, and leave when you should go." Without further words, his steps were like flying, and he quickly left Ye Tianxiang's sight.
Ye Tianxiang watched Xue Poye disappear, dumbfounded, and after half a day he said to himself: "Master!"
….
…
Xue Poye knew that Ye Tianxiang would never stay in Dongfeng Pavilion for a long time. Maybe after drinking a bowl of chicken soup and regaining some strength, he would go to Hangzhou Fuyamen.
Xue Poye was very satisfied with the fact that he successfully handled Ye Tianxiang's cumbersome matter and made the young man feel grateful to him. Xue Poye was very satisfied with this result. Perhaps this was the best result.
However, Moyun Village is probably going to be in trouble. Ye Tianxiang may not be able to attack Moyun Village immediately. After all, this is the ground in Hangzhou. If we really want to attack Moyun Village, official consultation is inevitable, but wiping out Moyun Village is inevitable.
I'm afraid it will be a matter of time.
Although Xue Poye was quite embarrassed to bring such a big trouble to Moyun Village, thinking about how he almost died on the way to Fenglindu that night, Xue Poye's guilt disappeared completely, but he had already
I am considering an extremely important question, who hired people from Moyun Village to rob halfway? Is it really someone from the Lu family? How did the Lu family know that they were going to transport horses to Fenglindu that night?
One question after another emerged in his mind, but he could not find an answer. Until the end, Xue Poye would rather believe that there was a misunderstanding than that someone really hired robbers to deal with him.
Maybe Moyun Village robbed the wrong target. It was originally aimed at another group of people passing by that road that night, but by chance, my own cavalry ran into it, and this led to a misunderstanding.
After leaving the Dongfeng Pavilion, the morning sun has risen in the sky, and the world is bright.
It was too early to ride a horse on the street, there were not many pedestrians, and most of the streets were inns and restaurants, and stalls were not allowed to be set up in front of the doors, so the roads were neat and tidy.
Xue Poye looked at the pedestrians on the road, but it was strange. He suddenly felt that there seemed to be a lot more scholars on the street than usual.
These are not those elegant and talented people who are neatly dressed in bright clothes and reciting poems and writing poems. The ones that suddenly appeared are some ordinary scholars in rough gray clothes. When the talented people meet, they will definitely smile at each other with fists in their hands. They will call you brother and I brother incessantly.
They had a good impression, and even invited them to drink wine and write poems. However, when these scholars came close, they just smiled and bowed, did not say anything, and went their separate ways. They seemed to be walking in a hurry. Many of them were holding books in their hands. Those books
Xue Poye actually knew it, it was nothing more than the "Four Books", "Five Classics" and "Xue Lu".
"Is it possible that these scholars want to gather in a crowd for a parade?" Xue Poye murmured to himself, but as soon as he said it, even he laughed. I'm afraid these scholars don't have the courage yet.
Obviously many of these scholars are from poor families, their clothes are rough and shabby, and they go to cheap inns.
Xue Poye walked slowly through the night, and after a while, he suddenly realized that in a few days there would be the college examination, and scholars from all the towns and counties under Hangzhou Prefecture would definitely gather in Hangzhou City to take the exam.
Although you are just a student after being admitted, it is a step towards fame and fame, and it is also the best way to get rid of your humble status. Once admitted, not only will you have rice provided by the government, but you will also be able to meet officials without having to kneel. In the eyes of others,
Lina is also different from ordinary people. He will change from a useless scholar in the eyes of outsiders to a respected scholar.
The Chu Dynasty valued literature, so the literary style of the entire Chu State flourished, and there were many scholars. The so-called ten years of hard times are also a true portrayal. In a few days, the college examination will be held.
Third, scholars in their 80s will take the exam one after another with the purpose of passing the examination.
The Ministry of Rites of Dachu clearly stated that only those who are thirteen years old can participate in the college examination. In other words, even if a peerless child prodigy really emerges and can compose poems at the age of three and write poems at the age of four and understand the Book of Songs at the age of eight, he will have to wait until the age of thirteen
Only by taking the college examination after the age of 18 can you obtain the lowest level of merit.
Xue Poye looked at these scholars who had become idiots in studying, and felt quite emotional. In fact, although there were many people taking the exam, there were only a very few people who could be admitted. Thinking about how Xiao Suzhen signed the letter at Lan Yuexuan that day, and how close she was to the scene.
There are thousands of scholars but there are less than a hundred scholars, which shows that it is not easy to obtain this lowest level of fame.
Even if these scholars become idiots, they don't know why they should contribute to the country even if they later become officials.
It’s really annoying to think that the college examination is about to come, and I don’t know even one of the hundreds of “Four Books” and “Five Classics”, and I don’t know how to become a scholar. dd
