Quick Transmigration: The Way of Life

Chapter 193

Lin Lang nodded, "It's true that I don't have a high school, and I'm not going to continue the exam. I wanted to go back in a few days, but I didn't expect you to come. Let's settle in the capital!"

"But...husband, you are young, so it doesn't matter if you take the exam for a few more years. It's a pity to give up now!" Wen Niang said hesitantly.

"You don't have to worry about this. Anyway, I'm not suitable for the exam now. Let's live here first. I'll look for a house in a few days!" Lin Lang patted Wen Niang's hand, took her to the room, and let them three Take a shower, wash off the wind and dust on your body, and take a good rest.

"Master Ji, it was agreed at the beginning that you will only live in your room alone, but now there are three more..." Mrs. Fang walked over, and looked into the room with a pair of triangular eyes, the meaning was very obvious.

Hearing this, Lin Lang felt even more urgent to move out, but she still didn't want to offend the woman, so she said, "Don't worry, we will move out in three days and we will never disturb you!"

"Ah?" Aunt Fang's eyes flickered eagerly when she heard this, someone finally rented his house, and now they are leaving, what should they do?You know that is 200 Wen a month.

"Look at what you said. I didn't mean to drive you away. If you want to live, you can continue to live. We can negotiate the price!" Aunt Fang smiled flatteringly.

Lin Lang didn't continue to pay attention, and went directly to Renyazi's shop while it was still early today. They had quite a lot of houses in their hands. Lin Lang looked at several houses, and finally picked a yard that he liked.

There are a total of eight rooms in this courtyard. After going to the kitchen, lobby and grocery room, there are five more rooms in the house. Lin Lang turned one of the rooms into a rented room, and even bought a bookshelf.

This room is a bit close to the slums, and the only advantage is that the price is cheap. Of course, this price is cheap, compared to the housing prices in the city center. These rooms alone cost 500 taels of silver.

We must know that the 500 taels of silver are enough for a family of five to live affluently for a lifetime, but the housing prices in the capital are like this, which is frighteningly high.

Early the next morning, Lin Lang tidied up the room without giving Aunt Fang a bad face, put down the key directly, took the children, and left without looking back.

"Daddy, will we live here in the future?" It was his eldest son who asked the question. These two sons are called Dahu and Xiaohu respectively. For a small name, wait until the child is eight years old before giving him a big name, and wait until he is 15 years old before giving him a second name.

Lin Lang nodded, and took the child to the small yard he bought. The only thing better than other places in the small yard is that it has an independent well, like other yards, and the draft water has to be picked at the entrance of the village.

"Sir, you spent a lot of money rushing to take the exam this time, why..." Wen Niang looked around the yard and asked hesitantly.

"Oh, I wrote a storybook and sold it for a good price!" Lin Lang took out 100 taels of silver, handed it over, and said, "Now the house is empty, you use this money to buy things, and in the future this The house is in your hands!"

Wen Niang nodded movedly, and followed her husband into the room. It was really empty, not even a chair to sit on, especially the kitchen, where there was nothing but the stove.

Because there were no pots and bowls, the family of four went to the street market, and one of them bought a bowl of wontons to eat. The two children devoured it, and finally finished eating the chaotic soup, and then licked their lips unsatisfied. , the face is full of happiness.

"You guys have worked so hard!" Lin Lang looked at the two children and said with a sigh. The road was full of dust and dust, and a woman from a Taoist family brought two children. The hard work was self-evident.

When Wen Niang heard this, she pursed her lips, smiled and shook her head, but tears rolled down her eyes.

Lin Lang took the children to buy things for cooking first, and some food. Since they had a lot of people, they didn't ask anyone to deliver them, so they took the things back directly. Thinking about going to bed at night, they went to the cloth shop and bought some A few bolts of cloth, and a few quilts.

"There's only one kang in the house, let's make do with it, and I'll have someone make a few more kangs in a few days!" Lin Lang helped wipe the kang clean, put a quilt on it, and said to Wen Niang.

"Sister, leave the matter here to me, go and rest!" Wen Niang saw that Mr. Wang was doing housework, and immediately stopped him.

When Lin Lang heard this, she was about to refute, but thinking that the original owner never did housework at home, she could only stop and took the two children to the study.

"You two are not young anymore, I am going to enlighten you!" Lin Lang took out a three-character scripture, holding a stone in his hand, squatting on the ground, and said to the two children.

"Hey, didn't father write on paper? Why are you writing on the ground now?" Dumb asked suspiciously.

Hearing this, Lin Lang tapped his forehead, "I'm afraid that if I write on paper for you now, the paper will be ruined. It's hard to think about every single thread!"

The Tianfu of the two children can't be said to be good or bad, but it can only be said to be above average. Coupled with Lin Lang's unique lectures, the two children quickly memorized a book of "San Zi Jing".

The three of them studied until night until a burst of fragrance came, and they realized that it was already night.

Lin Lang looked at the sumptuous delicacies on the dining table, and nodded in satisfaction. For the past month, because his room could not open fire, he has been buying and eating outside. Although the food outside is delicious, it always lacks the taste of home .

After the family finished dinner, Lin Lang specially asked Wen Niang to boil several pots of hot water, and the family had a hearty bath, lying on the bed and falling asleep after a while.

A new day represents a new beginning. Lin Lang used his remaining money to buy some more things. At the same time, his storybook career did not stop, and he wrote many wonderful storybooks. His paintings are different from those of modern people. The scriptures written are all about love and love, and what he talks about is the way, or the love and hatred of the family and the country.

Lin Lang also made a lot of money with the skill of writing story books, especially after her fame rose, the price increased even more. In just three years, their family had 3000 taels of silver.

With this money, their family bought a small Zhuangzi, which has more than 50 mu of land. The only advantage is that there is a mountain and a small hot spring. This Zhuangzi alone cost more than 2000 taels of silver. , and almost emptied their homes.

Lin Lang planted peach blossoms all over the hill, especially in the hot springs, where she could build a Japanese-style house with wood.

The homework of the two children has also gradually improved. Since they are both children, they often cannot sit still. Coupled with Lin Lang's entertaining and entertaining, the two children have made rapid progress. , "Thousand Characters", "Hundred Surnames", and "Full Tang Poems" have been recognized, and the most important thing now is to practice calligraphy and teach them the Analects.

In fact, the main exams are the Four Books and Five Classics. The Four Books refer to "The Analects", "Mencius", "University", and "The Doctrine of the Mean".

Generally, children's exams start with "The Analects of Confucius", first write a paragraph of the Analects, and leave the rest blank. What is the first paragraph written by a candidate?And ask what it means.

However, in some exams, you will also be able to test pairs of poems and the like, but that is the rebirth of the scholar exam. As long as you are clear about the exam, there are no typos, and all the answers are correct, you can pass the exam.

But it is easy to say and difficult to say, like a gray-haired old man, it is possible that he will not be able to pass the exam for a child in his life.

Boys need to be raised poorly. You always stare at a few sand tables, let the children write on the sand table first, and then write on the straw paper after they are familiar with it. After the font is formed, buy a few copybooks for them to practice.

This time passed day by day, and the days were peaceful and beautiful, but there was always something wrong with the way Wen Niang looked at her. Sometimes when she looked at him, she even sighed softly, which made Lin Lang shudder.

"Tell me, what's going on with you these days?" At night, Lin Lang and Wen Niang were lying on the bed, Lin Lang suddenly asked.

"I...I..." Wen Niang hesitated for a long time before saying: "Master, this is coming to Chunwei soon, aren't you going to try it out? You are still young, besides, don't scholars study just to get fame Lilu? You just say that, give up and give up, so what is the effort of these years?"

Lin Lang sneered when she heard this, "Wen Niang, you know me. I passed the exam at the age of 14 and was called a prodigy by others. But in the past few years, everything I got in the exams was a failure. What do you say?" One time is enough, but two or three times... People who are worse than me have passed the exam, but me!"

"...Master!" Wen Niang clutched her chest and began to gasp for breath, especially in the bottomless night, the panting sound was especially obvious, and it took a long time before the panting sound calmed down, "You It means...you don't pay attention to it because...someone is causing trouble?"

"That's right, but it's not corrupt officials. You have to understand that there are so many candidates across the country who come to take the exam. If there are no two brushes, it is easy to be exposed, so others will not play tricks on this matter, so... ...I suspect someone is trying to suppress me!" Lin Lang sneered.

"An official who can be older than those grown-ups...can't be the current emperor!" Wen Niang sat up all of a sudden, but thinking of what she said, she giggled a few times embarrassedly, scratched her head, and Lying on the kang again, "Look at my head, how could the current emperor do this, after all, every emperor wants someone to serve him, it seems that I am stupid, to say such words..."

"It's not that you're stupid, it's that you're telling the truth!" Lin Lang sneered, "The emperor really needs capable ministers to help him, but don't forget that he suddenly suppressed me. , or my head is not sober, I will blame all the mistakes on those ministers who invigilate the examination, and when the emperor appoints him as the champion, I will think that he is a Bole horse, and then I will serve him wholeheartedly... I said so Too much talk, maybe you will think I am a fool, after all, the emperor has everything, how could he do those things for me, so these words are just my guess..."

"Ah?" Wen Niang didn't realize it. What her husband said just now was quite correct, and her guess was well-founded. Why did she suddenly turn her head?
But when you think about it, the sage has everything, how could he spend so much effort for an ordinary meal.

"That's why I want to wait a few more years to see if it's my guess or my bad luck. Anyway, I'm still young and I can afford to wait. I just wronged you and the children..." Lin Lang said softly in the dark He patted Wen Niang's hand, anyway, this time he won't go up and let others choose, he just won't take part in the imperial examination, which will make the current emperor die in a hurry.

Early the next morning, Wen Niang didn't mention anything about the imperial examination, she still got up early to cook, and then went shopping to buy vegetables.

"Our family is not short of money, let's buy a servant, so that I can share it with you!" Lin Lang said while touching Wen Niang's hand, feeling very rough.

"I've done all these things, why buy a servant? It's better to buy some clothes for you and the child!" Wen Niang shook her head and refused.

"Both children are grown up, it's time to be naughty, I don't want to pay attention to those experiences, I will pick a few people tomorrow, anyway, it won't cost much money, so that you can relax, after all, you are Madam Juren!" Lin Lang tapped her forehead with a smile in her eyes.

When Wenniang heard this, she felt sweet in her heart, but she didn't refute it. What Xianggong said was that she was now a wife of Juren, and she did work at home and went out to buy vegetables, which really hurt her husband's face.

As soon as she left the house, Wenniang ran into her neighbor, Aunt Wang. Speaking of Aunt Wang, although she was only a widow, she still raised her two sons. One of the sons was still working in the palace. As for the other son, Although they work in the yamen, ordinary people dare not provoke them at all.

"Hey, isn't this Mrs. Ji? Where are you going this early in the morning?" Aunt Wang walked over, looked her up and down, and asked with a smile.

"Oh, I'm going to buy some vegetables, where is Mrs. Wang going?" Wen Niang raised the basket in her hand and asked with a smile in this lively market.

"Oh, I have a cousin who is going to come to the capital to participate in the Spring Festival. I just arrived today. I will meet you at the gate of the city!" Aunt Wang said with a smile.

"It's amazing!" Wen Niang sighed, and she was about to go shopping on the street, but before she took two steps, she was kicked by Aunt Wang.

"Mrs. Ji, your husband is also a candidate. Will you take the imperial examination this year? If you do, you will be with my nephew!" Aunt Wang said with a smile.

Hearing this, Wen Niang recalled what my husband said yesterday, hesitated for a moment, then shook her head, "It's a pity, my husband won't take the imperial examination this year, I'm afraid I won't be able to keep company with your nephew, but I'd like to ask the stock reviewer only Participated three times, if your nephew doesn't understand anything, feel free to come and ask my husband!"

"This..." Aunt Wang's face froze in place. If Ji Yuan didn't take the imperial examination, let's see how she would explain to her son's master, so she rolled her eyes and asked, "That's good, why didn't you take the imperial examination?" What about it? Isn’t your husband a scholar? What a great opportunity, you know, this opportunity only comes once every three years, so it’s a pity not to participate!”

"This..." Wen Niang was just about to say, but suddenly felt that Mrs. Wang cared too much about her husband. She felt a sense of vigilance in her heart, rolled her eyes, and thought of something casually, "To be honest, It has not been three years since my father-in-law and mother-in-law passed away, although my father-in-law can take the imperial examination, but to show my filial piety, I plan to take it three years later!"

"Oh!" Aunt Wang sighed, "It is enough for Ji Xianggong to have that kind of heart, but this kind of opportunity is very rare. Besides, your father-in-law and mother-in-law have spirits underground. If you know that Ji Xianggong did not participate in the imperial examination, you will probably die Heartbroken to death, the old man will not feel at ease under the nine springs, so you still persuade your husband to take the imperial examination!"

"This matter..." Wen Niang is not an ordinary woman, otherwise she would not marry Ji Yuan, who is called a child prodigy by others. She also felt that there was something wrong with Aunt Wang in front of her, so she could only smile and nodded without saying anything. Agreed, did not say no.

When Wen Niang came back from shopping, she found that there were two more people in the house, a middle-aged woman and a teenage girl. Both of them were thin and weak, with starved faces.

"These are the servants I bought just now. I heard that they came from a rich family, but they were sold out because of a taboo!" Lin Lang pointed at the two people. The fight between the aunt and the official, just involves them.

Wen Niang nodded, settled the two of them, and then decided what happened today to Lin Lang.

"This is indeed a bit of a problem, but don't worry about it. Anyway, after our family buys something, let the servants go tonight and don't touch that Aunt Wang again!" Lin Lang patted Wen Niang's hand, comforting Said.

Wen Niang nodded, but if you don't go out, people will come to your door. Three days later, Wen Niang heard a servant report that it was the neighbor next door who came to visit.

"It's really strange, what kind of wind is blowing today that brought you here!" Wen Niang asked Aunt Wang to her room, and asked a servant to bring him a cup of tea, smiling.

"I haven't seen you in the past few days, so I was a little worried, so I wanted to come and have a look. I didn't expect that you bought two servants and lived the life of a young lady!" Aunt Wang looked at the room, and the room was very clean. It is neat and tidy, but there is a desk next to it. There are some papers on the desk, but there is no writing on it. There is also an orchid by the wall. The orchid is a very common wild orchid, and it is not worth a lot of money.
