I go to the ancient imperial examinations

Chapter 159
Huang Li finally reconciled and took away 1 taels of silver from the Ming family as compensation. After the news spread, no one thought that the Ming family had gone too far. After all, Huang Li had lost her reputation.

Of course, the most important thing is that Huang Li's reputation is too bad. She and the third son Ming don't have much relationship between husband and wife, and they live in the East Lake Inn every now and then.

"Although the Ming family has kindly given so much money, a reconciled woman has lost her reputation and has no children. What are the days to come?" The woman who spoke was sobbing. Still too harsh on women.

"Didn't the third sister of my sister-in-law's husband's family marry into the Huang family? I heard that it was Huang Li who cried, made trouble, and hanged herself and wanted to reconcile. The Ming family had no such plan." A lady who knew the inside story said so. The ladies who gathered together for tea were all surprised.

"No way, Huang Li would be so kind?" The voice was obviously suspicious.

Although Huang Li is ten years younger than them, as long as they are married, everyone has the same circle, and they have been in contact with each other a few times, no one can stand Huang Li's overbearing personality, domineering and flamboyant. If it wasn't for the Ming family and the Huang family, no one would spoil her.

"There was a snake suddenly on the Jiuqu corridor that day, and how did the apprentice get in, it was an accident, but the truth?" Half of the words were hidden, but everyone was a wife who was well versed in inner house battles. Now that I've figured it out, and then thinking about Huang Li's madness towards Mrs. Zhang later, is this not harming others but eventually harming herself?
When the magistrate's wife was involved, everyone looked at each other and smiled, and they all picked up their teacups to drink tea, some things can only be understood but cannot be expressed in words.

No matter how the situation in Nanxuan Mansion changes, with the coming of the mansion examination, Zhan Feiyu is studying hard at the East Lake Inn every day.

After breakfast, spend half an hour reading all kinds of sage books from the classics and history collections, and then spend half an hour studying the excellent contemporary essays sent by Gu Xueshi from Beijing. Where are the deficiencies and how to fix them.

After the lunch break, Zhan Feiyu wrote the post for half an hour, and then burned incense to write the article on time, one article a day, and then revised and transcribed, and the first draft and the revised article had to be sent to the capital for Scholar Gu's review.

In the evening, because I don't have literary talent, I still need to recite classic poems and anthologies of Daqing Dynasty poems. To paraphrase Gu Xueshi's words, I can always write poems by reading more and memorizing them.

Because the government examination will also examine official documents such as imperial edicts, imperial edicts, and forms, Zhan Feiyu still needs to learn how to write official documents at night, how to start, how to end, and specific words. later than the dog.

"Miss, there are still five days until the government exam, how about going out for a walk while the weather is good?" He Nuan looked at Zhan Feiyu, who had a thin cheek, and really understood the hardship of studying. Outsiders only thought that Miss was talented. , but I don't know how much the lady paid.

"Have you tried it soon?" Zhan Feiyu glanced out the window, the sun was shining brightly in April, and the garden was full of foliage, which was no longer the scene of spring in March.

After exercising the stiff body caused by sitting for a long time, Zhan Feiyu said with a smile: "The last time I heard the third son said that the dumplings in Tonggu Lane taste authentic. I heard that there is a gourd chicken nearby, so we will go out to eat at night."

I don't know how long it takes to study behind closed doors. When I walked in the market and saw the scholars passing by in groups of twos and threes, Zhan Feiyu realized again that the government examination was coming. They are all waiting for the government test in five days.

Tonggu Lane.

"What is this? Is it for people to eat?" Fatty Chen threw away the chopsticks in his hand angrily, and shouted with disgust on his face, "Take it out and feed it to the dog, and let the master make it for me himself!"

"Master Chen, the master is busy at this time." The waiter smiled, but there was a flash of disdain in his eyes. Does Fatty Chen think he is the old master of the Chen family?

Although this chicken is not made by the master himself, it is also the secret recipe of the master. It is a famous gourd chicken in Nanxuan Mansion, and it is fed to dogs?

"Are you deaf? Didn't hear what I said!" Reng stood up, and Fatty Chen grabbed the waiter's skirt and cursed angrily, "Call me Li Feng! I think his shop is Not going to open it."

In the past, I used to go to the private room upstairs to eat the gourd chicken made by the master himself, but now there is no private room, Fatty Chen didn't bother. There are too many.

But he even dared to serve him the gourd chicken that he was sending off the guests. Fatty Chen was so angry that he wanted to smash the shop down.

Chai Yi stood aside without speaking, and glanced around vaguely.

Looking at the bullying Fatty Chen, the guests in the lobby all looked displeased. If it wasn't for Fatty Chen's expensive clothes and they didn't dare and didn't want to make trouble, it's probably going to be rough.

"Brother Chen, is it because my guy's rough hands and feet are not good at hospitality?" A clear voice came, and the uncle of the Li family quickly walked over from the back hall, cupped his hands at Fatty Chen, and then scolded the waiter at the side, "What are you still doing stupidly? Go and clean up the two tables by the window."

"Yes, my boss." The shop waiter knew that his boss was going to save him, and ran away in a hurry.

Fatty Chen's face full of fat was still angry, "How dare you let me eat this pig food! This is obviously not the gourd chicken roasted by the master chef."

"There are too many guests these days, and the master is tired. Brother, you also know that my master's temper has come up, and no one will buy it. But this gourd chicken is the secret recipe of the master, and it is also the master who watches it in the back kitchen. If you make it together, the taste is at least [-]% similar." Uncle Li had a warm smile on his face, and he calmed Fatty Chen's anger with just a few words.

"Excuse me for disturbing everyone's meal, shopkeeper, I will give each table of guests a plate of fried peanuts, please forgive me." Uncle Li apologized to the guests in the lobby.

After all, what Fatty Chen said before was too insulting, feed the dog?Pig food?If it wasn't for the Chen family's sake, the Li family could beat people out. Is this still human?What do you think of the guests in the lobby? Ninety percent of them are scholars in long gowns.

"My boss is being polite."

"My boss doesn't have to be like this, we don't care."

There were also some drinking guests who laughed boldly and said: "Thank you very much, the taste of peanuts paired with wine is amazing."

The guests in the lobby didn't get angry. After all, it was Fatty Chen who spoke harshly. There are such bullying dandies everywhere. To put it bluntly, they are just reincarnated. They are all white bodies who have not passed the government examination. Tongsheng has no name.

As soon as Zhan Feiyu and He Nuan stepped through the door, the waiter from the shop greeted them, "You two girls, the restaurant is full today, why don't you two girls wait a little longer, several tables of guests will be ready to eat in no time."

"We're going next door to eat dumplings, can we bring the gourd chicken over?" Zhan Feiyu glanced at the lobby, and it was indeed full, and the smell of gourd chicken also wafted over. He wasn't very hungry, but this time he was hungry Lulu.

"That's good, the two girls move to the next door, and I'll deliver the gourd chicken in a moment." The waiter hurriedly agreed, he was most afraid of encountering unreasonable customers like Fatty Chen.

Uncle Li just came out of the back hall when he saw Zhan Feiyu at the door with sharp eyes, "Miss Zhan?"

"I don't know who you are?" Zhan Feiyu looked at the other party suspiciously, and he was sure that he was not someone he knew.

"I'm the owner of this shop. Ms. Zhan, please come upstairs. The private room upstairs just happened to be vacant." Uncle Li's attitude became eager. This is the disciple of Gu Xueshi and the distinguished guest of the magistrate Zhang. If we can make friends , Why should I be afraid of Fatty Chen.

Fatty Chen was already eating enough, but he was in a state of desperation these days. The Chen family's business was either being investigated by the government, or there were ruffians making trouble.

Several merchants who had business dealings before either wanted to raise prices or did not plan to renew their contracts. Mr. Chen fell ill immediately, and Fatty Chen took over all the family business.

He was quite happy at first, but when he was in charge of the house and issued orders, he was so majestic, but there were too many messes, Fatty Chen felt that he had been tossed and thinned, and suddenly wanted to eat gourd chicken, so he found time to come here, but he could only sit in the lobby with these poor people eat.

"Master, it's time for us to go back. We still have a lot of debts..." Chai Yi paused, and looked behind Fatty Chen with a surprised expression.

"No way, spend more money, don't you just find some accountants, bah, if they leave, my Chen family's shop will not be able to continue!" Fatty Chen was full of anger, several shopkeepers quit, and even Mr. He also quit his job, and the angry fat man almost brought his servants to the nursing home to call him.

But he was stopped by Chai Yi. He used to beat him up, but it was just a matter of spending more money, but now Zhang Zhifu is staring at the Chen family. Once Fatty Chen commits a crime, he will probably be imprisoned.

As soon as Fatty Chen finished his complaint, he turned around and saw that one Buddha came out of his body and two Buddhas ascended to heaven in a fit of anger!
The uncle of the Li family is leading Zhan Feiyu upstairs. Li Ji is most famous for the gourd chicken made by the master. The second floor is actually the place where the uncle of the Li family rests. The private room is used to entertain distinguished guests or friends.

This is also the reason why Fatty Chen didn't sit in the private room today but didn't get angry. After all, there is only such a room, but now he will see Zhan Feiyu go upstairs, and the old and new hatred will surge up.

"Stop!" Fatty Chen yelled angrily, walked over with thick legs, pointed at Zhan Feiyu angrily and asked Uncle Li, "Didn't you say that there is someone in the private room? What does that mean?" ? Li, don't you know that I have a grudge against this dead girl?"

At first, because of the beauty makeup, Fatty Chen fell in love with Xiangpanzi's business, but rumors of ghosts in broad daylight spread inexplicably, and the matter was left alone.

Later, because of Di Lianchuan, Fatty Chen finally found out about Di Lianchuan, so he asked Chai Yi to go dig someone to work for him. As a result, Zhao Jiaoyu sued Qin for poisoning his grandson Shengnv Tan Min, yes, Di Lian Chuan was directly sent to prison and sentenced to exile. He didn't know whether he was dead or alive.

Later, because of Huang Li's incident, the conspiracy against the Kong family failed, which led to the Kong family launching an attack on the officials of the Chen family lineage in the court.

In Nanxuan Mansion, Mr. Chen's business was even more difficult. Zhang Zhifu did not immediately take action against the Chen family because of the imminent test, but even so, it was enough for the Chen family to drink a pot, so at this time Fatty Chen saw Zhan Fei Yu Na is a hate, and she has been involved in every incident.

"Master Chen?" Zhan Feiyu smiled slightly, looking at Chai Yi beside him.

Even though he only devoted himself to reading sage books during this time, Zhan Feiyu also learned something from He Sheng. Chai Yi said that he was Fatty Chen's staff, but in fact he had already taken refuge in the Chen family's direct branch.

Uncle Li bit his back teeth, and smiled stiffly, "It's not that the previous group of guests left, and the private room became vacant. Miss Zhan, you go up first, and Brother Chen and I will catch up on the old days."

"No way!" Fatty Chen stepped onto the stairs with one foot, and his body turned sideways, so that the stairs were tightly blocked, and no one would be able to go upstairs if he didn't get out of the way.

"This young master is not full yet. Since the private room is free, serve me a jug of good wine, and ask the chef to make me a gourd chicken." Fatty Chen stared straight at Uncle Li, and he fell Let's see if the person surnamed Li really wants to curry favor with Zhan Feiyu!

In fact, Zhan Feiyu doesn't care whether it's a private room or a lobby, and he doesn't intend to embarrass the Li family's uncle in the middle, "In that case, I'll eat downstairs, please ask Xiao Er to clean up a table."

When Zhan Feiyu entered the door, many people recognized her. Before Gu Xueshi went to Shangsi County, the scholars in the entire Nanxuan Mansion almost came out, just to try their luck and want to learn from Gu Xueshi .

Later, Zhan Feiyu, Tong Xu, and Wan Yunhao competed in the county school, and many people present also recognized her. At this moment, one is a beautiful little girl with red lips and white teeth, and the other is a fat and fat young man.

"Miss Zhan is so self-restraining." In the lobby, some scholars couldn't help but praise her.

He was a little annoyed when he saw Fatty Chen make things difficult for the waiter in the shop before, but he was stopped by his classmates. The government test is coming soon, and it is better to do one thing less. After all, Fatty Chen looks like a rich young man.

But at this moment, Fatty Chen was obviously bullying others. He already ate two chickens, how could he still eat them?It's just seeing that Miss Zhan can go upstairs to the private room, deliberately making things difficult for others.

"That's right, it was rumored that Ms. Zhan acted insolently before, but now I see that I am narrow-minded." The students at the side agreed with a smile.

If he had a background like Zhan Feiyu, would he still be afraid of a dude?But Fatty Chen was aggressive, but Zhan Feiyu backed down. This was not because he was afraid, but because he didn't want Li Ji's boss to embarrass him.

Another scholar in Tsing Yi even said loudly: "Looking up at the mountains, you can only look up at the scenery. Miss Zhan has a broad mind, and I admire you."

Uh... Hearing this praise, Zhan Feiyu couldn't help being startled, and then smiled and saluted the scholar in Tsing Yi, "This man is absurdly praised, as the saying goes, always compete with your peers, and don't argue with fools. Because he will Bring you down to his level of stupidity, then use his vast experience to beat you."

There was a moment of tranquility in the lobby, followed by loud laughter. A group of refined and refined scholars, because they were not very old, all leaned forward and backward laughing at this moment.

"Miss Zhan's words really please me!" A fourteen or fifteen-year-old boy patted the table and laughed loudly. He thought of his cousin at home, who would argue with himself every time. It's not good at all, this meeting is smooth, why bother arguing with a fool, I am not stupid.
