When a group of people went up, several people were also waiting. They were very familiar with the group. In addition to Zhang Sheng, there was also Fang Xi. Yu Lu was delayed by something and could not go to school immediately, so he also followed Zhang Sheng to see him off.
There was another man wearing a green shirt, a little faded from the starch, but with slender eyebrows and a bookish look on his face. Su Ziji couldn't help but smile and bowed: "I am Su Ziji. Brother, are you also rushing to take the exam?"<
/p>
"Yes, my name is Cao Yiyan." The young man looked a little reserved and smiled as a courtesy. "But the government examination will not be until August, so I have plenty of time. I just want to look around and have fun."
Su Ziji smiled: "This is a study tour, it is the duty of a student... Brother, I will go say hello to people, and we will chat on the boat later."
After saying that, he went away with a smile to greet everyone.
Because Su Ziji was in mourning, even Yu Lu only invited Su Ziji this time, and did not bother any other cultural gatherings with drinks and entertainment.
It is now the end of April, and all matters in Linhua County have been settled. Su Ziji once again visited the county Xuejiao and received a few words of encouragement before embarking on the journey to Fucheng.
"When I finish handling the matter, I will go to the government school to find you." Yu Lu said.
Zhang Sheng really sighed a little: "We say goodbye today, and next time we meet again, we will have to praise people."
"Then you should study hard and stop playing around." Yu Lu rolled his eyes.
"Originally, I also wanted to go to a private school, but the teacher has recently come and plans to stay at Zhuangzi and become his disciple. I want to serve him, so I won't go together."
Fang Xi felt very sorry.
He originally had a good impression of Su Ziji, but now he is ranked first in the imperial examination. Anyone who passes the imperial examination is almost guaranteed to pass. Even his parents dare not treat Su Ziji as an ordinary scholar.
However, the Fang family is known as one-third of the town and is a typical family of officials and gentry. It has a formal teacher. This is a distant relative and a Jinshi. One-on-one teaching is much better than going to the government to study. Now we have to follow the teacher.
Zhuangzi stayed for a while.
Zhuangzi is not far from Linhua County, but it is a bit far from Fucheng.
Su Ziji said: "It's important to study. When you come to the province to take the exam, I will definitely come to your door to bother you."
The establishment of the Zheng Dynasty stipulated that provincial examinations should be held every three years in provincial capitals. Because they were held in autumn and August, they were also called Qiuwei.
This year happened to be the year of the provincial examination. When Fang Xi was admitted to the examination, it was a year after the provincial examination. Su Ziji knew the huge difference between the imperial examination and the academic examination. If he could not be admitted to the examination this year, he would have to wait.
Three years, I can’t wait.
It's not impetuous, but the matter of killing Zeng Jing and bloodline made Su Ziji feel uneasy. In fact, he wanted to take the opportunity to test the superior's attitude towards him. Since the inspection department was obviously unwilling to say anything, he could only rely on
Let’s test it out with the provincial exam in a few months.
Of course, the results will be available before the provincial examination, and it is still unclear whether you can still participate in the imperial examination.
But it can’t be left in ruins.
Thinking of the "sword" that he and Ye Buhui might drop at any time, Su Ziji sighed in his heart.
This is also the reason why Ye Buhui does not plan to stay. Not to mention that Ye Buhui is still young and has lost relatives. He only has his own family. Just talking about Ye Buhui's life experience makes Su Ziji uneasy.<
/p>
"Hey, it was Buhui's birthday a few days ago, but it happened that Uncle Ye died on the day before his birthday." Thinking of Ye Buhui, Su Ziji thought of the recent events and couldn't help but sigh.
According to the laws of the Zheng Dynasty, unmarried children need to mourn for their parents for twenty-seven months, married daughters need to mourn for their parents for one year, and sons-in-law need to mourn for their father-in-law and mother-in-law for three months. Generally, they can get married within 49 days of the death of their parents.
If you get married after the 19th day, it will be considered unfilial.
In the Zheng Dynasty, unfilial piety could range from being punished ten times to being paraded through the streets or jailed.
Ye Buhui and Su Ziji paid homage to heaven and earth. Even if they didn't treat guests or serve wine, it had become an established fact. During the funeral, Su Ziji had already made the matter public.
The corpse was originally laid to rest for seven days, but due to wariness about the bloodline issue and in order to prevent any changes and to let Ye Weihan be buried as soon as possible, Su Ziji discussed with Ye Buhui and only stayed for five days.
Five days is also in line with the situation of most ordinary people. Any longer, and it will be a heavy burden for ordinary people.
Fang Xi originally wanted to give silver to Su Ziji, but unfortunately Yu Lu and Zhang Sheng were declined. So naturally he didn't give the money away.
"It's time for me to leave. Please come back." Everyone talked for a while. Su Ziji looked at the sky and saw that it was already noon, so he said.
Everyone said goodbye to him.
Ye Buhui was wearing a light-colored dress and stood beside Su Ziji with a quiet and virtuous look. She was about to board the boat. Her eyes were indifferent, but she looked towards the county town she had left temporarily, with a little complexity. p>
At this time, at that time, I left here to participate in a chess match, and I left here and went to Fucheng at this time. They were obviously going to the same place, but their moods were completely different.
On the road far away, Tan An's pupils shrank when he saw this scene, and he finally couldn't bear it anymore and was about to leave.
"Asshole, what are you going to do?" Tan Youshan, who was not far away watching his son leading the civilian husband to build the road, stood up and stopped him.
Tan An's face was gloomy and anxious: "Su Ziji is so shameless and took advantage of others' danger. Dad, get out of the way! I can't let him take me away without regrets!"
"Are you going to make me mad before you give up? Just give it a rest! If you want to rob someone from the head of the case, you have to see if you have the ability!" Tan Youshan yelled angrily.
He has always been proud of his son, and through some connections, his son became a regular official in the county, and he was full of expectations.
But the master sent someone to send a message, telling him to discipline his son well and not to cause trouble. Tan Youshan's heart was constantly being roasted, and he was extremely uncomfortable.
All this is because of this girl Ye Bugui, what a disaster!
Although the son has not lost his official status yet, he falsely accused Su Xiucai because of this woman. Su Ziji was at the top of the list. Although he was not a civil servant, let alone an official, he had a bright future. It is no wonder that the master gave him a cold shoulder.
Face.
It is a blessing among misfortunes that his son can still stay in the county government. At least part of the reason is that as soon as he knew it, he would rather lose face and go to apologize. Tan Youshan could never let his son continue to do wrong things.
If I make another scene, I'm afraid I'll be fired.
Because of this, Tan Youshan scolded her a lot. As if he didn't see his son's painful expression, he said cruelly: "Moreover, even if you like that girl, she and Su Xiucai worshiped in front of the soul and became someone else's wife!" "Even if she is in mourning now and has no sexual intercourse, it has become a fact. What reason do you have to intercept her, and what reason do you have to cry out for her injustice?"
"It was no one else who took her away, it was her husband!"
Didn't you notice that you are already going to the government to study?
By then, if you pass the exam, you will be a country squire, and you will be on equal footing with the county magistrate. Will you have a good son?
The slight commotion on the shore attracted a glance from Su Ziji, who was on board the boat, and the wild Taoist approached him: "Sir, I took a look when I was passing by just now. That man's face was green and gray. He was originally a bad luck star. Do you want me to move a little bit?"
I can’t say anything about his hands and feet, but I can definitely take off his tiger skin.”
