As soon as the sky turned white, the yellow rat carried his iron bucket to the Dongyang River, ready to take a good bath. He tossed and turned in bed last night and couldn't sleep well. He stayed up until dawn like a pancake, and his whole body was covered in sweat.
He was not the first, but the third. There were already two people in front of him who were pouring buckets of water on their heads. The yellow mouse was going to go down a little so as not to disturb the noble man. Now he finally understood that the whole academy
They are all noble people, so he feels even more humble.
"Old Huang, come here, where are you going? Just wash here and you won't be afraid of being picked up by a wolf." Yun Ye had already seen the yellow squirrel and was going to talk to him, but he didn't expect this guy to go down without saying a word.
If he wanders away, call him out to stop him.
Next to him, Li Ke was wearing trousers and watering his head without saying a word.
"Xiao Ke, I have ambitions that are hard to achieve. My heart is like a Kunpeng and my body is like a sparrow. You were born to be a Tyrannosaurus rex. Why are you so depressed?" This little kid has been acting strangely these past few days, and Yun Ye is a little curious.
"Am I stupid?"
"Who said it, it's much better than a yellow rat," Yun Ye said casually, and the yellow rat nodded like a chicken gnawing its food.
Li Ke went crazy and rushed to catch Yun Ye. Who didn't know that in the academy, yellow rats were synonymous with stupidity. Now, if anyone does something stupid, they won't call him a fool anymore and just change his name to yellow rats. Yun
Ye ran away, and Li Ke grabbed the accomplice Huang Shu and kicked him twice before he calmed down.
"Xiao Ke, I know what you are depressed about. You lost to Artai again in the college entrance examination. Seeing him bragging arrogantly on the podium made you feel uncomfortable. This is a normal mentality for young people. I
When I was studying with the master, I was the only one with no comparison, so I was the natural number one, and the master always praised me. Do you know why the elites in Sichuan lost to several wealthy families?"
Yun Ye thought it was just a good opportunity to correct Li Ke's world view. As long as he vented his pride and used his own strength to reach the peak in a certain field, the attraction of imperial power to him would be greatly reduced. After all, there are all kinds of things in this world.
Such a peak is reachable, and people are always full of confidence in the achievements of their hard work.
"It's because their skills are inferior to others. The wealthy families with the five surnames are too powerful."
"Wrong. It's because the elites in Shu chose the wrong place, the wrong time, and the wrong target. They even chose the wrong purpose. They didn't prepare in advance and didn't summarize afterwards. If there is a next time, they will still lose, and it will be even worse.
awful."
"You are making the same mistake. You know clearly that Artest is a freak in his academic career, but you want to compete with him in the field that he is most proud of. Isn't that making you feel uncomfortable? You have your advantages, your
The advantages are beyond Artest's reach. Using your shortcomings to compare with other people's advantages and call you a squirrel, are you being unfairly accused?"
Li Ke stopped talking. He was lying in the water with only his head exposed. He didn't know what he was thinking, but Yun Ye didn't care. It would be a good thing for a young man to learn to think.
Huang Shu knew clearly that three people heard the conversation, but what hurt him was that only two people knew what was being said.
"How are you doing in the academy now? Are you still thinking about robbing tombs?" Yun Ye asked the yellow rat who was sitting in the river and splashing water on his body.
"The little one doesn't have that thought now. If the nobles hadn't had the same understanding as the little one, he would have been beheaded long ago." Huang Shu felt a little embarrassed.
"Your profession is not feasible now. It is only a matter of time that you are caught. It is also a matter of time that you are beheaded. You are not young anymore. Take this opportunity to climb out of that muddy pond and become a human being again. Don't be a fool."
Damn it, you have used your skills in the wrong place. If you work hard in the academy, you will be useful."
"I understand. I have a day off today. I'm going to clean up and go to Xinfeng City to see someone."
"Woman, do you have a sweetheart like this? You need to catch him. Go get the horse from the stable and leave early and come back early." Yun Ye arranged casually. Now he is relatively at ease with the yellow rat. He has learned martial arts since ancient times.
, selling it to the emperor's family is a universal principle. The reputation of yellow rats is too bad. Being able to sell it to the academy, a place related to the royal family, is already a sign of good deeds by the ancestors.
At three o'clock in the morning, the yellow squirrel was riding a big maroon horse galloping on the galloping road. The sky-blue sleeved robe on his body was blown up by the wind from time to time. Although he was ugly, he looked a bit ugly when he put on the attire of an academy.
The extravagance, especially the bay red horse on the crotch, looks like one of the best horses in a hundred, and is not something ordinary people can own.
The days of lovesickness were like a knife cutting into his fiery heart. He turned a blind eye to the victims passing by on both sides of the road. How could a man of status who was with the nobles all day long be able to pretend to be a refugee again like in the past?
That dirty business.
The absolute psychological superiority made him even more eager to see the woman selling glutinous rice.
The fat horse and the light fur have passed the new harvest, and the yellow rat just wants to drink a bowl of glutinous rice. Isn't this easy to catch?
The number of willow trees in Xiliuying was annoying, and the countless threads disturbed the sight. The horse seemed to understand his thoughts and kept accelerating its hooves. Xinfeng City was finally arrived.
The market was much deserted than before, and the busy hawking sounds were also sparse. The plump woman was not seen in the third house under the big tree, and only a few sparrows were looking for food on the ground.
"Store, where is the stall selling glutinous rice over there?" Huang Shu asked the owner of the grocery store next to him.
"After the disaster, Ying Niang was a widow and her family lost business, so she had to take her daughter to live with her parents. Do you have any history with Ying Niang?" The owner of Baifa Shop is also a talkative person.
"Yes, I used to drink fermented glutinous rice, but I don't think it's available today. It's really disappointing. A certain family likes this one, and I feel bad if I don't drink it. I plan to invite Ying Niang to be a cook at my house. What does the store think?
"Huangshu has long been a wanderer in the world. He knew that he couldn't ask openly, so he had to turn around. As for whether he should regard Ying Niang as his wife or the cook, that was his own business.
"It's a good thing that Ying's mother-in-law's family is right at the entrance of the market, and she's not a wealthy family. Please wait a moment and I'll send the boys at home to shout. They are both almost at the end of their rope. I will definitely agree to go to your house to do it."
The cook's." The owner of the shop talked a lot and called his son to find Ying Niang.
The joy of the yellow mouse is about to burst out of Tianling Gai. The thing is exactly as he thought. Ying Niang is a widow. As for bringing a child, it is not a big deal at all. What's wrong with being a father when you step in? I used to dream
Everyone wants a girl, but they are afraid that their appearance will harm the child. Now Yingniang has one. God bless me!
"Your Majesty, Your Majesty," the shop owner called twice before pulling the yellow mouse out of his dream.
After wiping away his saliva, the yellow rat bowed deeply to the store owner, causing the store owner to become confused.
"Why is the guest so polite?" The shopkeeper was very surprised. He had never seen such a weirdo.
"A certain family is here to apologize for nothing else. I have just deceived an old man. A certain family's surname is Huang Shu, which is the tree of the big tree. He now works at Yushan Academy and has a consistent monthly salary. He cannot be said to be a wealthy family, but he has nothing to worry about.
I have food and clothing, but I have never been married. At the beginning of this year, I came here accidentally. I am not afraid of the old people's jokes. I can't walk when I see Ying Niang, so I want to ask for marriage. What I said just now is an excuse. Please forgive me." Huang Shu has never been like this in his life.
He spoke in a polite manner. After a long conversation, he was so nervous that he was sweating profusely.
When the old store owner saw the sweaty yellow rat, he burst into laughter and couldn't stop laughing for a while. The yellow rat also giggled along with it, making passers-by look at him for a while.
"I've seen you a long time ago. You've been drinking glutinous rice at Yingniang's stall for several months. You drank several bowls of glutinous rice every time. You still sat there for an hour or two. Ask any of the traders in this market who doesn't know what you're interested in.
Ying Niang is interested? Who do you think I would tell him about Ying Niang's whereabouts? You haven't been here for two months, and I feel sorry for Ying Niang, thinking that I have missed a good marriage. As soon as you come today, I want to ask you
, who knew you said it yourself, ah ah ah, I laughed to death."
After the old shopkeeper joked about it, he probably thought that he should tell the neighbors about it and let everyone have fun together. It is rare to have a happy thing in a year of famine, so a large group of people gathered around, including many uncles and aunts with fast legs.
He had already gone to Ying Niang's brother's house.
The more people there were, the more nervous the yellow rat became, sweating non-stop, and becoming extremely embarrassed. It just felt that these neighbors were scarier than the red-haired monster corpse.
One person said that the yellow squirrel's outfit was okay, the other said that the horse was beautiful, but no one praised the yellow squirrel's appearance.
"You know what? A good man doesn't have a good wife. A bad man marries a spoiled wife. This is an old saying. Brother Huang, seeing that he is not weak in body and can support his family, he needs to make enough money every month. How can you poor guys compare?
I'm still working as an errand in the academy. What's wrong is that in the future, Ying Niang's daughter may marry a literate husband. What a fate. What are you wives talking about? Ying Niang's man died early and he has no brothers.
, I have been suffering for almost six years, and now Brother Huang doesn't mind Ying Niang raising a child, and wants to welcome her home as a matchmaker. Whose blessing is this? Does the man's family matter about his appearance? "
The old shop owner got so angry that he opened fire on the neighbors in the house, which made everyone speechless and became quiet.
Hearing what the old man said, Huang Shu agreed in his heart. He straightened up his waist that he had just bent down. Yes, I am a member of the academy now. Why should I lower my head? I am not a tomb robber. I serve everyone in the academy.
He is a big shot, even the prince sees him every day, what nonsense are you poor guys talking about.
Money is a person's courage. He touched a few huge silver cakes in his waist, took out a money bag from his arms, and handed it to the old shopkeeper.
"You are a sensible person. There are pieces of silver and five hundred coins in this bag. You can buy some gifts for me so that I can propose to you.
With a crash, the old shopkeeper poured out all the money from his wallet. There was a golden pile, and there were pieces of silver worth one or two guan in the middle. This made the neighbors doing small business on the street take a breath of cold air.
Long before he came, Huangshu had taken out all the money from the ghost willow. This was a bit of property he had accumulated after working as a tomb robber for more than ten years. He had long ago exchanged it for silver for the convenience of carrying it. Now, as long as he uses
Just carry the package and it's done.
Before the old shopkeeper could clean it up, a small hand with a small hole on the back of his hand stretched out, gathered the money in a few clicks, put it in the purse, and tied a knot.
Yingniang! She cried with tears all over her face and said: "I have been waiting for you for more than a month, but you haven't come. I thought you were just in a temporary mood and teasing me, a miserable person. I really couldn't bear it any longer, so I closed the door."
I left the stall and went to my brother’s house to get some stuttering food, why did you come now?”
When Ying Niang cried, Huang Shu felt distressed and was at a loss. He rubbed his hands and said, "You know, I'm on an errand. I've been in the Blue Mountains for two months. As soon as I came out, I came here."
, don’t cry, I will take you two to Yushan right now, the people in the academy are very nice, and the girl probably likes them too."
"Where is the oxcart?" Yingniang asked.
"There is no bullock cart, I came here on horseback." The yellow mouse was confused.
"Men just don't have a long-term vision. If you ride a horse, can we two ride a horse?"
When the yellow mouse heard this, his eyes turned red. He took out a ten-tael silver cake and held it up high: "Whoever has a carriage, sell it to me!" The bastard's spirit filled the world.
Without waiting for a reply, another fat little hand reached out, took the silver cake from his hand, put it in his arms, and dragged the yellow mouse out of the house.
Outside the door, there was a skinny eight-year-old girl sitting on the pile of luggage, timidly looking at the yellow squirrel, feeling both fond and afraid.
The yellow mouse rushed into the grocery store again, picked up a lot of various snacks in the store, put them in a basket, ran to the little girl, squatted down, and stuffed the basket into the girl's arms. The neighbors stood there envious.
He watched Ying Niang busy with her business, watched the little girl eat snacks that were as hard as rocks, and the yellow mouse sat beside him and fed the girl a drink of water from time to time.
I invited the neighbors to have a big meal in the restaurant, received countless blessings, got several baskets of black pancakes, and gave Yingniang brother five guan of money. The sun had just reached the top of my head.
The carriage was running very fast, and the yellow mouse shook his riding whip triumphantly, teasing Xiu Niang who stuck her head out the window from time to time, who was his current daughter. By the way, he felt the roll of Ying Niang's eyes. Everything was harmonious. As for whether all this happened.
It's a bit fast, so it's completely out of the scope of the yellow squirrel's consideration.
When Yushan arrived, they were all a little curious when they heard that the yellow rat had brought his family. The students saw that the timid yellow rat in the past was so arrogant today, so they decided to teach the timid little girl a lesson, for the sake of that timid little girl.
I forgive him for now.
The bad-tempered steward threw him a large bag of things for the bridal chamber, and told him that he had a small courtyard next to the academy where he could live. He also said that this was specially ordered by the Marquis.
Huang Shu knelt on the ground and kowtowed heavily. Ying Niang didn't understand, but her own men were like this, so she quickly knelt down and kowtowed. The look of contempt on the steward's face gradually disappeared after the blood turned red on Huang Shu's forehead.
The little girl looked at the kitchen and drooled. He saw that someone had just brought a large plate of red meat from that room. It looked very delicious. The yellow mouse told the girl that if he wants to eat it in the future, just use the paper in the box.
She went to get the piece of paper. As long as she had this kind of paper, she would get some delicious braised pork. Watching her daughter carrying the plate and turning back to the kitchen step by step, Yingniang suddenly shed tears.
In the sky above the moon, frogs were croaking. The little girl outside Huangshu's house had already fallen asleep. Looking at the plump and graceful woman, Huangshu impatiently blew out the candle and pounced on her like a hungry wolf. (To be continued.)
