No matter how Mrs. He summarizes the reasons for her grandson’s failure, failing is failure.

A Lie was not too discouraged. After the autumn examination, he became relaxed. Seeing that his son's cheeks were slightly sunken for half a year, Shen felt very distressed and said that he would give his son a good supplement. A Lie was nothing. He was not a spoiled person and had always been strong. Although the autumn examination was not as comfortable as living at home during the nine days, he would come to make some simple meals. Not to mention the article, he could only cook simple meals with just the ability to cook simple meals, so many candidates could not do anything. A Lie didn't do anything. He just used green onion and ginger to make a bowl of fried noodles with noodles. But just such a bowl of noodles was so fragrant that half of the exam room could smell. A Lie ate well and did not feel wronged in sleeping. The quilt at home was made thick. Even during the exam, he was very careful not to close the windows too tightly to avoid any accidents in the charcoal basin.

It turns out that Beichang Prefecture dares to be in a severe cold weather, and the autumn examination must be extremely cold. Every time the autumn examination is in, the government will say that the students should not seal the examination room too tightly, so that something is easy to get into, but there are accidents every year.

Fortunately, no one died this year, and it was a blessing, but the person was carried out and the autumn examination was over.

When A Lie thought about it, he felt very lucky. Moreover, he had gained a lot of experience in the first autumn examination.

After knowing that he failed the exam, A Lie didn't stay at home for too long. When he failed the exam, he seemed to have no other topics when he saw him. He either said that he had bad luck or asked him to continue working hard. A Lie didn't like to listen to this, and if he didn't win, he wouldn't win. He could take the exam again next time, which was not a fatal matter. He would feel relieved when he heard this, but he would be upset if he heard too much.

He simply took the article he had written silently and went to his sister's place again, asking his brother-in-law and Mr. Luo to help him take a look.

Mr. A Nianluo felt that he was successful after seeing it. A Nian said, "He performed well."

Mr. Luo also said, "If Governor Yu does not come back before the autumn examination this year, you will probably be on the list. Since Governor Yu has returned, he prefers pragmatic articles." As he said, Luo Daru and Taoism, "In fact, this is to talk about the preferences of each examiner before the autumn examination. If it is really a good article, there is no need to study the examiner's preferences. Good articles will be good no matter which examiner will say good articles. This time, it is not a bad thing to lose the rankings. Even if you are on the list, you will not be able to win the spring examination next year. It would be better to take advantage of this to practice more and do your articles well. If it goes well, you will be expected after three years."

A Lie has been watching his father and brother-in-law's imperial examination since he was a child. Now that he has arrived here, he is even more familiar with the imperial examination. He also knows that Luo Daru is serious. A Lie said, "I simply don't go home. I'm still with my brother-in-law, so I can ask you for advice nearby."

Luo Daru fell in love with the young man at this age. Seeing that A Lie knew how to work hard, he liked him in his heart, he smiled and said, "Now there are three years left, and you are not in a hurry to have a autumn exam. I will teach you a way. You can start with A Nian during the day, become familiar with the economic and human relationships, and move the time of studying until night. Since you know the economic and human relationships, don't let your heart go away. In this way, you will definitely improve in three years."

A Lie's face was just right.

The advantage of A Lie is that you say that he is willing to listen, and not listen from the mouth, but you can really listen from the heart.

Seeing that his eldest grandson was so motivated, Old Madam He said to Madam Yu in private, "A Lie takes another exam, I must add a lot of money for incense and oil." He felt that he had added less money for incense and oil, so the Bodhisattva did not show his spirit.

Madam Yu smiled and said, "Young Master A Lie is so motivated, and the Bodhisattva will bless you if he knows it."

A Lie followed A Nian to run away. The He family had some benefits. The He family was born in an ordinary family. He used to be a small landlord. He Gong passed the Jinshi and brought the family into the threshold of the official family, but it was just a threshold. However, the He family never concealed that they were born. Moreover, A Lie was a child who often ran and played on the street when he was a child. Although his father was an official, he didn't think his family was so great. A Lie had no airs and was prone to get along with the people below. Of course, A Lie was also quite uncomfortable when he took the benefits and other things. When he got home, he told Brother Nian about this. A Lie said, "I go out with Zhuang Dianshi and others, everyone has it. I don't take it, for fear that they are not at ease. Brother Nian, is it like this?"

A Nian said, "This is also a common example. In the officialdom, like me, like Zhuang Dianshi, these are all officials of rank, and the court gives salaries. The yamen runners and clerks give monthly monthly silvers from the county, and each person is only two taels of silver. If you want to support your family, you can live with a tight grudge. If you have a large family, it will be difficult to make a living. Therefore, if there is any tolerance, if they go, the other person will definitely give some errands. Zhuang Dianshi takes the big head and the next person can share some of this money. Since you are here, you will naturally have to calculate your share, and you just keep it."

A Lie nodded, "Is this considered a folk fat cream?"

A Nian smiled and knocked on his first note, and told him about living a life of life, "Look at me, homework is not a luxury, just living a life of life, there are about twenty people in the family, and their maids, mothers, cooks, servants, and guards. They have to pay 60 taels a month, and they spend on weekdays, and they can't afford to spend thousands of dollars a year. My salary is only 100 taels a year. What should I do if I want to support my family? Don't think about fishing and meat, that's what people do.

Things. I tell you that there is a sum of money for stolen money in the officialdom. Shahe County is not big, and there are as many as thousands of taels. But not all of these money are mine. You have to support these people so that they can do things for you. You have to hold on to the right track to support people. You have to keep a good deal of your appetite, but you can't make them hungry. This is the ability to be a Shangguan. But if you calculate it, just count the money for stolen money, and your life is still not enough."

"What's wrong?"

"There are also fields and shops. Sister Zijin has to manage the family's industry, and the money I have to pay more than I earn in a year." A Nian said, "This is what the women in the family are coming. We men are officials outside, and we have to deal with the top and do some practical things for the people as much as possible. But the women in the family are not idle either. After I got married with Sister Zijin, I have never cared about the family affairs. They are all handled by Sister Zijin, and I have to deal with them with my daughter again.

It is so hard to be friendly and have to manage shops and farms, and take care of children. So, a man must know that he feels sorry for his wife. Not to mention those who are ungrateful, who just pass by just three concubines and two concubines. Two people live a better life with one mind. So many concubines will make his wife feel heartbroken first, so where can the husband and wife come together in the future?” As he said, A Nian said, “It’s only when you’re about to get married that I will teach you this secret.”

"Dad has told me a long time ago." A Lie looked at Brother Nian with great doubt and said, "Brother Nian, you are talking to your father, right?"

A Nian said, "I am self-taught without a teacher and born caring."

A Lie was a little disbelief. Of course, A Nian had a good relationship with his sister. My brother-in-law and brother-in-law said some private words, and A Lie also felt that he had made a lot of progress.

When the New Year is approaching, Jiang Ren has to go to Beijingguan to deliver military rations. A Lie was thinking about Yao Jie and said to his sister and brother-in-law. He went with Jiang Ren. He Zijin smiled and said, "Since I want to go, I will bring the New Year gifts for Brother Ahan and Mrs. Jiang." There are also Yao Jie's and New Year's things, He Zijin also prepared for him.

A Lie has no objection.

Since it was about to be the year, I simply sent Ji Zhen home together.

Ji Zhen no longer wears a small red cloak. He now wears a snow-white rabbit leather jacket, which is the same style as A Xi's sister's rabbit leather jacket. Of course, when he parted with A Xi, he was hard to part with him. Everyone was not surprised. In short, the two started saying parting three days ago, and they were still talking until they were about to leave. They had not said enough. Everyone heard the calluses in their ears. Ji Zhen reluctantly said goodbye to Sister A Xi and everyone, and took his guards and entourage here to go back to Beijing Pass with Jiang Ren and A Lie.

It was difficult to walk along the way. Fortunately, everyone has been used to it in Beichang Prefecture in recent years. Because it was a military ration transporter, there were post stations to rest along the way. In addition, Ji Zhen was the eldest son of General Ji, and it was not an exaggeration to say that he was the number one yamen in Beichang Prefecture. When he arrived at the post station, he wanted to offer him the post chief and other things. Jiang Ren and his party also benefited a lot.

After getting Beijing Pass, he first presented the New Year gift to Mrs. Jiang, and then went to pay military rations and lived with He Han. Because his parents came to live with him, He Han simply bought a set of two yards that he had been away from, and lived in a very spacious place. He Lie said, "In the future, Dalang Erlang will have a place to marry a wife."

He Han joked, "It can be seen that A Lie's happy event is approaching, and everything inside and outside is about marrying a wife."

A Lie was joking a lot, not to mention that his happy event was about next year, and now his face is a little thicker, and he smiled, "Yes, Brother Ahan is afraid he won't have time to go."

He Han smiled and said, "If you don't have a person, the gift will come."

A Lie said, "Then wait for Brother Ahan's gift."

Everyone joked and Jiang Ren Alie took off his big sweater clothes and grilled them around the charcoal basin. He Han also said, "Aren is here, I'm here. He and Awen have to walk on a few times every year. Why are you here too when you are in such a strong wind and snowy day?" He Han felt very thick when he touched Alie's cotton coat, and He Han felt relieved.

"Isn't this the exam finished? I'm helping Brother A Nian. Brother A Ren came over and I came with me. I haven't been to Brother A Han's place yet. Let's look at A Jie again. He is alone here, so I'm not sure." A Lie said.

He Han said, "Ajie is the same. Last year, I asked him to come to my place for the New Year. I won't come this year. I will celebrate the New Year with a few brothers in the army. His house is also close to me, so it is separated from me."

A Lie said, "Brother Ahan, you are busy in the year. My sister-in-law is wearing a big belly. Maybe A Jie is a little embarrassed."

"He is embarrassed." He Han smiled, "I don't know that they have a job in the year. If there is no job, I don't know how Hu Tianhai is making a fuss."

For a moment, He Nian and Wang came over, adding a little more lively.

Wang has found his son now, and his son is promising. He has long forgotten what happened before, and he started talking with A Lie Jiangren. He even greeted Mrs. He's body. Wang smiled and said, "I came back in a hurry. I'm just thinking about coming to your brother Ahan here. I didn't go to see your grandmother. How good is my aunt?"

A Lie smiled and said, "Auntie Lao is worried. Grandma is in good health. She always asks for a bowl of porridge and two steamed buns in the morning."

Wang smiled, "What more can I eat than I do."

"Yes, it's a blessing to be able to eat." A Lie said, "My grandmother often talks about the aunt at home, and she just said that she came to visit her whenever she had time."

"Okay, okay." Wang was really scared of Mrs. He. At that time, Wang pretended to be crazy and wanted to withdraw from the marriage. Mrs. He set up a dragon gate formation outside the door and scolded Wang for a month. He scolded Wang for the time being, and it was finished.

Of course, I won’t mention the dilapidated matter. The main reason is that in Beijing Pass, Wang has no acquaintances, and has always been close to He Han with the serious relatives of the He family, He Zijin and others, and Wang also wants to ease the relationship.

He Han asked about some things on the road, mainly because of the heavy wind and snow, so he was worried about being an elder.

Not long after, He Han's wife Li, hugged Erlang, and Mrs. Li, came with Mrs. Li, and because Jiang Ren often came to Beijingguan to deliver military rations, everyone was very familiar with each other. This was the first time Mrs. Li, Mrs. Li, and the family saw A Lie. As soon as He Han said, they knew that Mrs. Li smiled, "It's my aunt's younger brother, and her eyebrows are not very similar."

He Han smiled and said, "Sister Zijin was born like an aunt, and A Lie looked like Uncle Gong."

"Although I was not born with a big look, everyone has their own handsome style." The Li family had a good impression of He Zijin, loved the house and the mistress, and liked A Lie very much. He pulled A Lie and asked questions about his long and short words. Even though A Lie was not a versatile figure like Jiang Ren, he was very reasonable in terms of relationships. On the second day, A Lie sent a post to Yao Jie's family, mainly asking when Yao Jie was at home. That night, Yao Jie came to He Han's house to meet his friends.

As soon as Yao Jie came, A Lie really didn't recognize him. This big man with a beard and dressed like a bear, is he really his very stinky and beautiful friend? Yao Jie directly hugged him. When A Lie smelled the faint fragrance of flower dew on Yao Jie's body, he knew that it was nothing.

Yao Jie was very happy and said, "As soon as I got home, I heard that you were here, and I came over without eating. It just happened to save the fire. I could have a meal with Brother Ahan." As he said, he greeted Jiang Ren and met the people of the He Han family. He said, "We went out to inspect today, but we were so lucky. We met a deer and some chicken, rabbit, deer, roe, and so on. We are all here. The chicken, rabbit, deer, roe, sister-in-law, aunt, you can eat it."

Jiang Ren smiled and said, "Ah Jie, you are a boy, it's better to eat less venison."

"My husband, what's the point of eating some venison?" As he said that, Yao Jie gently hit A Lie with his elbow and smiled wickedly, "Speaking of this, I'm not going to eat venison, mainly for A Lie. A Lie, you're about to have good things. You're not getting married yet, so why are you losing weight?"

Everyone laughed.

At night, Yao Jie strongly invited A Lie to his house to rest, saying that he wanted A Lie to recognize the portal and then go directly to Beijing Pass. At night, the two of them even slept on the same bed. Speaking of the matter of Beijing Pass, A Lie said, "I am happy for you to be promoted, and I am afraid that you will be injured when you go out."

Yao Jie said, "I'm not to hide it from you. I'm really brave when I met a bandit for the first time. However, no one cares about anyone at the critical moment of life and death, so I tried my best. I was afraid of the first time in everything, and after the first time, I could do it. Later, I felt that life was very interesting, much better than listening to music and eating flower wine in the imperial capital."

This time Ah Yu came, and brought a piece of armor to his friend. Ah Lie said, "I asked my sisters at home to sew it for you. The three layers of cowhide are made of gold thread. It is extremely strong. Although it is not as light as an iron armor, this one is much lighter than an iron armor."

Yao Jie hugged his friend again and said, "A Lie, when you have a daughter and I have a son, let's be in-laws."

A Lie said contemptuously, "You don't even have a wife, where can you have a son?" A Lie asked his friend very keenly, "Do you fall in love with someone's daughter?" A Lie thought of what A Nian taught him, and said, "It's not me that it would be fine if it was a serious daughter. If it were those fireworks women, it would be fine. If you can't marry a wife, if you are a concubine, when you say you're kissing in the future, it's hard to say about your marriage."

"It can be seen that it is someone who wants to get married, and it is very clear to say."

"Tell me quickly, are you interested?"

If Yao Jie doesn't tell others, A Lie is his close friend, so Yao Jie said, "What do you think, Sister Jiang?"

A Lie didn't understand for a moment, "Which sister Jiang?" Why didn't he know that his friend had a sister named Jiang.

"It's Azhen's sister and Jiang's sister."

A Lie almost didn't come up in one breath, and punched Yao Jie twice in the quilt, saying, "Are you crazy? Sister Jiang will get married this winter!"

Yao Jie beat A Lie to grin. It was very cold in winter in Beijingguan. When he moved, the wind blew in. Yao Jie hurriedly pulled the quilt and said, "What kind of kisses are you? Zhang Jijiu has eaten too much, and he immediately fell and broke his neck. He has gone."

A Lie looked at his friend and couldn't speak for a moment. This, this, Sister Jiang's life is a bit rough.

Seeing that A Lie stopped talking, Yao Jie took advantage of the situation and said, "You have been with me for so many years. Could it be that I still don't know how good I am? If Sister Jiang had a marriage, I wouldn't even suffocate to death, otherwise I wouldn't like her, but would have hurt her."

"Tell me, how long have you been thinking about this?" A Lie asked.

"It's not long before I came to Beijing Pass and found a job. It was very smooth with Ahan taking care of me. I didn't expect that it would be from time to time, and it was not from time to time. Anyway, when the seasons changed, Sister Jiang would always send me some season clothes. I thought, Sister Jiang might be for the sake of Sister Zijin's face, but even so, she had to be a kind-hearted girl to think of me." Yao Jie said, "I didn't realize it at first, but when Xia Tian heard that she was engaged, I felt uncomfortable. I know that it's not authentic now, but Zhang Jijiu is already that way. Sister Jiang hasn't gotten married either, so I will tell you."

Yao Jie's words are not unreasonable. A Lie is just a young man. Besides, he and Yao Jie are friends, so they don't care about pitying Zhang Jijiu, who died suddenly. However, A Lie is a scholar after all, saying, "You have this heart, and you can't mention it now, even if you reveal it, you can't reveal a little bit." The marriage has been settled, and her husband died before her. According to etiquette, Jiang Ying must be filial to her husband for a year.

"I know, I'll tell you."

A Lie then planned for her friend, A Lie said, "Sister Jiang must be there for one year. You can be a good job as a job. When she is filial for a year, she will be a serious marriage with Mrs. Jiang."

Yao Jie, a person who was quite confident in the past, was hesitant when he talked about this and said, "I, I, I am the general now. The marriage that the general has made for Sister Jiang, and he has been a promising person with the fifth rank twice."

"Hey, I don't believe in the fate of life. Sister Jiang treats me on weekdays and asks me to say that she is the best girl. If someone else has a general as his stepfather, I don't know what to do. Look at Sister Jiang, treat us more kindly." A Lie had a good impression of Jiang Ying. When he heard this, Yao Jie couldn't help but say, "No, I just like Sister Jiang's generous and kindness, which is similar to Sister Zijin."

A Lie gave him a moment and said, "Tell me what my sister is doing."

"I'm just comparing, but I don't mean anything. I'll treat Sister Zijin as my own sister." Yao Jie said, "You continue."

"What are you saying, can't you think? Sister Jiang has not done two marriages. Those who have no knowledge can't help but think too much about her fate. Her marriage must be considered. As long as you are sincere, although you are not of high rank now, you have a good background..." Seeing that your friend's face was a little dark, A Lie said, "What are you doing with a bad face? I didn't say bad things. Although Uncle Yao is a little confused, to be honest, you have to give you all the heart and all the hearts you should give you, but your stepmother is hateful. But she can't make the decision. If you can marry Sister Jiang, Uncle Yao will not be happy. Even if the general and his wife consider your son-in-law, they will also consider your family background."

Yao Jieneng traveled thousands of miles to Beijingguan to plan his future. He was not an unintentional person. Seeing that his friends also supported him, Yao Jie said, "Then next winter, I will tell my sister Jiang to go."

A Lie said to him, "Don't be so disrespectful. Only in the book, the two of them are taught privately. How can they get married with a serious family? Even if you are enthusiastic, you have to go through the general and your wife first to tell Sister Jiang. You have to be upright in style, so that your elders like you."

Yao Jie felt deeply that his friend, who was about to get married, had experience, so he quickly asked, "Are there anyone else to talk to me?"

"Don't? No more, you're a job. You're so clever on your daily life. Look at your beard, it makes people unable to see your eyebrows. Are you so pretty on weekdays?"

"How can you know that these soldiers from Beijing Pass have all bearded. I have a beard that is so easy to grow. I have no face and are too tender. I am underestimated."

A Lie gave him an idea, "It's just for me to keep it on weekdays. If you go to see the general and his wife, don't wash it up and show your face."

"become!"

The two of them sing and gurgled all night, apart from talking about friendship, they mean Yao Jie's lifelong event!
Chapter completed!
