Chapter 162: I can see bamboo shooters in this life
On the twelfth day of the winter last year, Zhang Yuan accompanied Wang Siren, Wang Yingzi and his daughter to visit this retreat. They saw the cold forest and mottled snow. The sky was also dark at that time, and the pavilions and pavilions seemed a little lonely.
, there are still a lot of debris in the corridors and pavilions that have not been cleaned up. After more than four months, on March 23, when Zhang Yuan and his eldest brother Zhang Dai followed their uncle Zhang Rushuang to the garden at the western foot of Kuaiji Mountain, it was full of spring.
sè, the ancient trees sprouted new branches, and I walked forward leisurely. I turned around a small cliff in front, and the scenery suddenly changed. On the right bank of the stream were large tracts of green bamboo, with a few strange and stubborn old pines mixed in. The tall green bamboos obscured the view.
The sunshine turns this section of the stream into green~
Zhang Yuan praised: "It's really a good place." Looking at Wang Yingzi on the bow of the boat, her plain gauze gown turned into light green, and her wide-open eyes with a smile were as green as Mu Zhenzhen's.
Wang Yingzi said proudly: "It's a good place. It's difficult to get here from the shore. You have to use a boat. This mountain stream is only easy to navigate by boat. I asked someone to bring the boat here."
Zhang Ji smiled and said: "Junior sister is wise."
Wang Yingzi smiled politely and asked: "Can you write the word "but" on my eight-part essay? What does it mean? Have you passed the government examination?" Zhang Yuan smiled and said: "I want to promote you as a criminal case officer."
First of all, I’m afraid that Master Xu won’t agree.”
Wang Yingzi said: "To be honest, how does that article compare to yours in craftsmanship?"
Zhang Yuandao: "It's hard for me to write better."
Wang Yingzi smiled widely and said, "I have indeed put a lot of thought into this article. Let me tell you, if this is the question in the government examination, how about you just copy it?"
Zhang Yuandao: "Copy it decisively." Wang Yingzi was overjoyed and said: "The government examination is the same as the county examination. There are two questions. Then I will draft another question. You can also copy the topic I guessed correctly."
Zhang Yuan smiled and said: "Guessing both questions correctly, how much good luck it will take, this won't work, good luck cannot be exhausted, I will make the other question myself." Wang Yingzi said with a smile: "You really think you can guess this question
I'm just saying it for fun." He threw a piece of bamboo shoot shell into the water, watched the bamboo shoot shell float away, and said, "Actually, I really want to take part in the scientific examination with Brother Jiezi.
Oh, how interesting it is to be a man." When she said this, her eyes were looking everywhere on Zhang Yuan, as if she was trying to see what was different about Zhang Yuan from her.
Zhang Yuan smiled and said: "Actually, being a man is not very interesting. Everyone has his own troubles." He thought that Jia Baoyu still hated himself for not being a girl.
Wang Yingzi said: "Isn't it interesting that men can take scientific examinations and make friends, but women can only stay in the boudoir."
While they were talking, the small boat sailed half a mile up the creek shaded by green bamboos and anchored at a flat spot on the right bank. Zhang Yuan jumped ashore. When Wang Yingzi came ashore, he stretched out his hand to let Wang Yingzi use his strength to lift the boat girl.
I was dumbfounded.
This bamboo forest is about dozens of acres and grows on a gentle slope. There are cliffs up and down the slope. It really can only be reached from a stream.
Walking into the bamboo forest, you can see the green water flowing, listen to the soft "rustling" of the bamboo tips, look up, the spring sunshine is shining one after another, and there are bright spots of light jumping everywhere in the bamboo forest, and the spots are also jumping on Wang Yingzi's body, making this pretender
Miss Wang Er, a young scholar, looks unusually lively.
Zhang Yuan said: "This bamboo forest is dense. If the sky is dark, it will look gloomy. It is best to have a sunny day like this." As he said this, he walked deep into the bamboo forest, but heard a "plop" behind him.
Wang Yingzi fell down, and she quickly turned around to help Wang Yingzi stand up, but suddenly she started crying while holding a bamboo plant, her tears pouring down like rain.
The boat girl rushed over in a hurry and wiped the muddy grass stems on the back of Wang Yingzi's gown. She kept asking: "Where did the second young lady hurt from the fall? Are you bruised?" Wang Yingzi patted the thick shoulder with her hand.
Zhujie said: "I want to take part in the scientific examination, I want to take part in the scientific examination. The boat girl thought, so this is what happened. The second lady is acting like a child again. There is nothing she can do about it. She looked at Zhang Yuan and said, "Mr. Zhang, I mean."
I asked Zhang Yuan to persuade Miss Yingzi.
Zhang Yuan did not think that Wang Yingzi was childish and ridiculous. Wang Yingzi was sixteen years old and had superb craftsmanship. As a woman, she could not take part in the imperial examination. Of course it would be very painful to think about it. Wang Yingzi was originally a sweetheart, and at this time he was moved by the scene.
, it is normal to suddenly vent your inner depression. Who said singing, crying and being proud is only a man’s right?
Zhang Yuan remained silent, bent down and searched for a while on the ground. He found a bamboo shoot sticking out of the ground. He stood up and said, "Junior sister, it was this bamboo shoot that tripped you. Let's dig it out and eat it back to take revenge."
Snow hate." Let the boat girl go get the short hoe from the boat.
Wang Yingzi smiled, wiped her tears with a silk handkerchief, and said, "Brother Jiezi, please don't laugh at me."
Zhang Yuan said: "How could it be possible? I also feel that it is a pity~
"
Wang Yingzi said: "Senior brother, can you help me think of a way for me to take the scientific examination? Senior brother is always very resourceful." Zhang Yuan quickly shook his head and said: "I really can't help with this, and my junior sister must also know that the examination room
The gantry physical examination is very strict."
Wang Yingzi's face turned red and she said, "How about bribing those subordinate officials?"
Zhang Yuandao: "This is not allowed, and Teacher Wang will never allow it."
Wang Yingzi's shoulders slumped and she said sadly: "I know it won't work, but I just didn't give up, thinking you would have a good idea."
Zhang Yuandao: "My junior sister's craftsmanship is at the same level as mine. If I can pass the government examination or Taoist examination, my junior sister can also do it. I am a student member, and my junior sister is a female member.,... When I said this, I also laughed.
Wang Yingzi opened her eyes wide and smiled and said: "If my senior brother wins the imperial examination, then I will be the female imperial examination candidate. If my senior brother wins the imperial examination, then I will be the female imperial examination scholar."
The humble brother and sister looked at each other and laughed.
The boat girl took a short hoe, and Zhang Yuan carefully dug out the bamboo shoots completely. The boat girl praised: "Master Zhang dug well, the second lady just dug out several bamboo shoots."
Wang Yingzi said: "Brother, please take these bamboo shoots home, cook them and eat them to avenge me." Zhang Yuan said: "I don't know whether they are delicious or not. If they are unpalatable, revenge will be painful."
Wang Yingzi smiled, and the boat girl said: "Mr. Zhang, the bamboo shoots here are very delicious, as nèn as lotus roots, and as sweet as sugar cane. You will know when Mr. Zhang goes back to cook." She then asked Wang Yingzi: "Who is the second lady?
Isn’t it time to go back? Master will look for you later.”
Wang Yingzi said "hmm", looked at Zhang Yuan and said: "Senior brother is more humorous and clever than my father. Every time I see senior brother, I always feel happy."
