The sturdy life of crossing

After the matter was explained, Jian Wenyuan waited for the arrival of the township examination with peace of mind. He usually either read books, practiced calligraphy and wrote inscriptions in the study, or walked around the city with Tian Xiaoniu and the newly released bookboy Xiaohe.

"Xiaohe, pour me a cup of tea, young master." Jian Wenyuan casually ordered Xiaohe, a book boy who was helping him grind ink.

Shutong Xiaohe, whose name is Liuxi, isn't Xiaoxi just Xiaohe, so after Jian Wenyuan helped him cover up his brother's identity and changed his appearance, he called him that, let alone, Jian Wenyuan thought the name was catchy, and the more he called it, the more he called him. The smoother it is, so I often call this book boy.

Xiaohe glanced at the young master who was writing a policy theory, put down the ink stick silently, turned around and washed the ink on his hands first, and then went to help Jian Wenyuan pour tea. When Jian Wenyuan wrote the essay, he had been watching from the sidelines. Literate, his younger brother's enlightenment was carried out by his father because his father had no time, so he could still tell whether Jian Wenyuan's strategy was good or bad. He is still very talented, as long as there are no accidents, he will definitely be on the list in this provincial examination and become the new Master Juren.

Liu Xi was very envious. If given the chance, he would really like to go to the capital city or Jinhai County. It is said there that men and women can go to school and even come out to work, and even become an official. If he can take the imperial examination, he will It shouldn't be a problem to want to be a child-born scholar, but Chunlin Mansion is located in a remote place, so it is difficult to promote the policies of the capital to this place, and the folk customs in this place are much more conservative than those in the capital.

There are policies at the top and countermeasures at the bottom, which is very rare.

For Jian Wenyuan, who is already a scholar and is about to take the provincial examination, Liu Xi is a little jealous. He doesn't think there is any difference between his brother's status and that of a man. The line is the same, Jian Wenyuan may not be as good as him, his father said long ago that if he was born a boy, the Liu family would have another Jinshi in the future.

A letter from his younger brother came every other day or two, and Liu Xi gradually let go of his worries about his younger brother, and began to look forward to it. Maybe these people came to investigate those people in the prefect Liu, otherwise, if they were on the same line with the prefect Liu, how could they He didn't do anything to the two brothers, but protected them instead.

He wanted to believe in Jian Wenyuan, but he was afraid that this was a trick by those in the prefect Liu, so he wanted to let him relax his guard step by step, and then sneak in.

Liu Xi bit her lip, blood turned red in a short while, as long as his father was still locked in the prison and could not clear his grievances and come out safely, he would never be able to relax, his tendons were tense, and he waited for Ling Chi's day like this It's not a good feeling, it's better to come with a sharp knife and give him a simple word.

Thinking of this, Liu Xi became angry, strode over, and placed the tea bowl on the desk with a "bang", the force was so strong that the tea in the bowl splashed out, Jian Wenyuan was startled, and he was about to do it immediately. The good theory was moved away, but even so, a few drops of tea were still splashed on it, and a few ink blobs blurred.

"Hey, is there anyone in Xiaohe who waits on the young master like you? Do you still want to reunite with your brother? My half a day's work will be wasted just because of your one action." Jian Wenyuan held the policy in distress. He sent it back to show his father, no matter how far away he was, he couldn't escape his claws. It is estimated that even if he passed the Jinshi examination, his father would not relax much in his demands.

When Liu Xi saw the words melted by the splashed tea, guilt flashed in his heart, but he quickly suppressed them: "There is no one to read the strategy for the young master, so how can it be considered a waste of time? The young master won't be in vain just because he is missing." I don’t remember what I wrote after a few words, if the young master has a lot of forgetfulness, Xiaohe can help the young master write it silently.”

Liu Xi has a good talent for reading. Although he can't remember it with his photographic memory, it is not difficult to write down an article he just read word by word.

Jian Wenyuan looked at him in surprise: "Really?"

"Really, if I can write it silently, can the young master tell me, young master, whether you are with Liu Zhifu, or against him?" Liu Xi boldly put forward her request.

Jian Wenyuan laughed. If Liu Xi could really write word by word, his memory would be extraordinary. He became interested and said, "As long as you can do it, although I can't answer your question truthfully, I can let the Mavericks How about you inquire about your father's situation in exchange?"

"Okay!" Liu Xi agreed impulsively. My younger brother often sent letters, so he could see that he was safe, but his father was in prison, so he was afraid that those people in Liu Zhifu would torture his father, and his father would not be able to hold on. Well, if he can't get into the prison, it's tantamount to throwing himself into a trap, but if someone helps him find out, that would be great.

Jian Wenyuan stepped aside and helped Liu Xi grind ink. In the past few years, there were people around him who helped him. Before, he didn't do everything by himself. It was nothing to help Liu Xi grind ink. Drink the poured tea.

When Liu Xi wrote, Jian Wenyuan's eyes showed surprise again. Liu Xi's handwriting was honestly much better than his brother's. It was obvious that he had put in a lot of hard work to practice it. Liu's life was not going well. Not rich, according to Lin Bo's survey, it can be said that they are poor, but such a family obviously pays attention to the cultivation and education of Liu Xi, who is a brother, which makes Jian Wenyuan have a lot of love for Liu Yuan, who has never been masked. A layer of goodwill.

Liu Xi wrote beautifully and beautifully, and silently wrote out his theory at a very fast speed. Because he had only written more than half of it, Liu Xi stopped at the last word he wrote. Comparing with the manuscript he wrote, he really did not write a word. Jian Wenyuan looked at Liu Xi with bright eyes. This brother really has a hand. If he brings such a brother back to the capital, his brother should like it, after all If his brother wants to promote his brother and daughter, he needs someone to promote him. Many people's ideas cannot be changed in a short while.

Seeing Liu Xi's expectant eyes, Jian Wenyuan smiled and said: "Okay, your young master, I am a man of faith, and of course I will fulfill what I promised you, and I will let Maverick do it when he comes back. "

Liu Xi thought for a while, and said, "Thank you, Young Master, Xiao He."

"Master, it's rare for me to get a thank you letter from Xiaohe, yes, just to thank you, I have to urge Maverick to do it quickly." Jian Wenyuan joked.

"What are you talking about? What do you want me to do?" While talking, Tian Xiaoniu strode in from the outside, Liu Xi's eyes flashed, the young master and this little cow are master and servant in name, but they look like brothers Feel free to be close, the young master is a scholar, but this calf is like a warrior who has practiced martial arts, he is more powerful than the officials who arrested him and his younger brother, who are the young master and this calf?

Seeing this, Li Wenyuan is indeed seriously preparing for the provincial examination, which is what puzzles him the most.

"Helping Xiaohe find out about his father's situation, I have to work for you to run around and think of a way." Jian Wenyuan said without any concealment.

"It turns out that this is the matter. I happened to be investigating the situation in the prison these two days, and the young master caught up with me. Okay, I should be able to open up the door in these two days." The only way to go to Jian Wenyuan is not to be suspected by Liu Zhifu's group. The matter of Liu Zhifu and Liu Yuanshu needs to be investigated, but the first thing to ensure is Jian Wenyuan's safety.

"Thank you, Maverick!" Jian Wenyuan reached out and patted Tian Xiaoniu's shoulder.
