In fact, Tang Shiyue is not really a hospitable person. She just thought about his words yesterday about "the person who got the pie" and she always felt that this person was not simple. Doesn't that mean that he persisted in himself and passed the exam?
Moreover, the two families are neighbors, and Tang Shirong will definitely get to know each other when he returns home. The way they get to know each other will largely determine how they get along in the future.
Scholars always have a lot of bad habits. If Tang Shirong came to visit him politely and thoughtfully today, then in the future, they would often have to put on airs when getting along.
For example, she always felt that it was good for the family to eat together, chat and laugh, but if an unfamiliar male guest came, women would not be allowed to serve at the table, which would be very unpleasant.
So... she is a naive little village girl anyway, so it is just right for her to break this method.
If this person thinks she is "indecent", then there is no need to have a close relationship with such a boring person.
The other party came in quickly. Tang Shirong and Tang Junchen both stood up, raised their hands, and exchanged their names. The other party smiled and said: "My surname is Xu, my given name is Qing, and my courtesy name is Wenqu."
Tang Junchen suddenly shouted loudly.
Tang Shiyue was so frightened that her bowl dropped on the table.
Then Tang Junchen rushed forward, grabbed his arm, and said loudly: "Xu Siyuan! Xu Siyuan! Are you Xu Siyuan!"
Xu Wenqu was obviously a little helpless and said, "Really?"
Tang Junchen hugged him and jumped: "Ah ah! I actually met Xu Siyuan!"
So, there were also ardent fans in ancient times? Looking at this attitude, I’m going to start chewing it...
Tang Shiyue said calmly: "If you keep howling, you will become someone who was classified by Xu Siyuan as someone who refuses to interact with you when we first met."
Tang Junchen then restrained himself, quickly stepped back, and said sheepishly: "I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I was so happy that I was rude."
Tang Shiyue asked people to sit down for dinner and asked: "What is Xu Siyuan?"
Tang Junchen stopped eating and said with a beaming expression: "Have you heard of the Three Yuan Award?"
She does know this. It is said that there is *** Xiao Sanyuan in the imperial examination. Xiao Sanyuan refers to those who get first place in the county examination, government examination and hospital examination, and is called the head of the case; *** refers to the provincial examination, the general examination
He both won first place in the palace examination and was called the number one scholar.
She didn't need to say anything, Tang Junchen explained in a crackling voice, and Tang Shiyue said: "So your name is Xu Siyuan because you also won the first place in the provincial examination?"
Xu Wenqu nodded with a smile and did not humbly say "it was just a fluke". She immediately felt that this man was very pleasing to her eyes.
Tang Shirong said anxiously: "My sister-in-law doesn't know etiquette, Mr. Xu, please don't mind."
Xu Wenqu said with a smile: "Young lady is very intelligent and sincere in her treatment of others. She feels comfortable and at ease even when we meet her for the first time. However, your apology is a bit pedantic and boring."
Tang Shirong was helpless and stopped talking. Tang Shiyue asked, "Then why are you here?"
Tang Junchen looked at him with a look that said, "My heart hurts so much." Xu Siyuan was calm and said, "I was injured accidentally after the provincial examination, so I didn't take the exam again. I have been recuperating here in the past few years."
Tang Shiyue said "Oh" and didn't ask any more questions. She asked the two little ones to wash their faces and brush their teeth, and then also went to the table to eat.
It was the first time she made such classic fried noodles, but she didn't get a word of praise. She was a little disappointed and suddenly asked Tang Junchen: "Brother?"
Tang Junchen said: "Huh?"
"Is the food I cook not delicious? Are you going to eat while staring at Mr. Xu's face?"
Tang Junchen: "..."
She added: "Mr. Xu should be pretty and attractive, so you can eat him instead of eating noodles." She came over to grab the noodle bowl.
Tang Junchen quickly hugged his hands: "Yue'er, I was wrong, I will never do it again. Today's sauce is so delicious. Yue'er is really good at craftsmanship, a master chef! Please let me eat it!"
Tang Shiyue then let go and glanced at Xu Wenqu. He was already adding a third bowl. Seeing her looking at him, Xu Wenqu smiled and said, "This way of eating is really delicious. I don't know what it's called? I've never
Haven’t eaten it yet.”
Tang Shiyue said: "Zhajiang noodles."
So when Qi Xiaolang and Fourth Uncle Tang came over, they saw that the "old scholar" next door had already entered the room, and the three of them had obviously eaten and were walking around in the courtyard.
Qi Xiaolang frowned.
Then Tang Shiyue called him: "Fourth uncle, Ah Jing, come and eat quickly!"
The two met Xu Wenqu briefly and sat down to eat. Tang Shiyue and Madam Zhou also ate with them. Fourth Uncle Tang and Madam Zhou praised it without hesitation. Even Qi Jing said: "It's very delicious."
Tang Shirong took one look at it and asked Xu: "Do you think what Yueyue said yesterday is feasible?"
"I think it makes sense." Xu asked the channel: "Since we want to understand people's livelihood, there is no use in just glancing at it. Yesterday I asked someone to prepare a set of clothes for me, and I will see if I can join them then."
He said to Qi Jing: "Qi Xiaolang, don't you know if it's convenient?"
Qi Jing said calmly: "It doesn't matter."
Tang Shiyue was a little surprised.
We must know that the four levels of the ancient people were scholars, farmers, industry and merchants, and "workers" came after "agriculture".
She originally planned that it would be nice if they could go over and have a chat with them, but she didn't expect Xu Wenqu to actually go to help! She bet that few scholars in ancient times could do this!
Tang Shirong and Tang Junchen were even more surprised. They both stared at him, not knowing what to say.
Tang Shiyue gave high praise: "Mr. Xu is a very powerful and knowledgeable person at first glance! Brother, although we are familiar with each other, I still have to say that his realm is really better than yours!"
It was rare to encounter such a straightforward compliment, and Xu Wenqu coughed lightly.
Tang Junchen whispered: "But we don't know how to do it?"
"Who is born with it!" Tang Shiyue said: "To understand a kind of person, the most effective way is to walk in instead of looking from the outside! So high aspiration can never be compared to being down to earth! The steps are built layer by layer.
The current reality is the foundation of future ideals, do you understand?”
Xu Wenqu tilted his head slightly.
This little lady would always say something very reasonable occasionally, and even he didn't know the source.
But it didn't seem like she was thinking about it herself. If she heard what the people around her said... He glanced at Qi Xiaolang and said nothing.
Qi Xiaolang's face was as heavy as water, and he finished the noodles in the bowl silently. Then Tang Shiyue called him: "Ah Jing, lend me two pieces of your clothes for brother and the others to wear! I will buy new ones and return them to you later!"
Qi Jing nodded and said calmly: "Then don't forget it."
…………
Tang Shirong and Tang Junchen went to the construction site to help, which shocked the villagers' jaws.
Although Mrs. Zhou couldn't understand why they came to do the work of masons at all, she was already very superstitious about Tang Shiyue. In addition, Tang Junchen popularized to her that Xu Siyuan was so good that he was famous all over the world. Then,
Since Xu Siyuan is here, it must be really beneficial...right?
But this didn't stop her from spreading the word about what happened in the school.
So in less than half a day, the whole village knew that Tang Shijin failed to steal money and was slapped in the face by Tang Shiyue, so he took revenge and lied, causing Tang Shirong and Tang Junchen to be persuaded to leave the school.
Not being able to enter the ancestral school or study was a big deal in the eyes of the villagers. They took the place of their own family and hated Tang Shijin with all their heart.
Then it was passed three times and two times, and somehow it came to pass. Tang Shijin and Tang Yongming bribed the owner of the school and drove Tang Shirong back. They had no books to read, so they had to come to the construction site to move bricks.
Tsk, this is so tragic that it makes everyone shed tears when they hear it and saddened when they see it! (To be continued)
