Taipingchun

Time flies, and it is almost the end of the year in a blink of an eye, and the 12 years of Hongzhi will be the past.

Early in the morning Xu Xiu sat at the table in pain with a pen in her hand, staring blankly at the paper full of writing.

It was just because writing stereotyped essays was very difficult for him. At first he thought it was just a stylistic format.

Stereotyped Shiwen is just a style format. Even if you write a thesis, you have a certain format. There is not much difference between the two in essence. Many people criticized him, and even the term stereotyped essay became a derogatory term.

The problem is that the content of this format must be written according to the opinions of "Zhu Zi's Four Books Collected Notes". This is no problem for the literati of this era. After all, it is the opinion of this family since elementary school, and the study of the mind is still popular in a small range of folks. Wang Shouren, a big bull, has not yet realized Taoism and spread theories.

But for Xu Xiu, it became an extremely prominent problem. After studying Zhu Zi Ji Zhu for so long, he could already recite it. However, the amount of information in later generations is so large, and he has come into contact with so many opinions. He obviously wants to use Zhu Zi Ji Zhu’s point of view. Come to write, but the opinions of other people appeared uncontrollably. Thinking of the four bright red characters of the old scholar who deviated from the orthodoxy, Xu Xiu felt headaches.

Sure enough, if Xu Xiu was allowed to judge this draft by himself without restraint, he might give himself: a well-educated, clear and commendable comment. Unfortunately, with the current standard, you still can't escape the four words of deviant. It turned out to be a death sentence without even thinking about it.

It can only be said that the amount of information received is large, and the resulting inertial thinking is not so easy to control.

"Ah, practice calligraphy."

He simply stopped writing questions for himself. Xu Xiu picked up the brush and practiced calligraphy. Naturally, he practiced Taige style. The quality of ancient literati's writing is very important. He has some basics. Just being able to write some standard regular script is far from enough now, and there is an urgent need for supplementary lessons.

When Xu Xiu was in the library, he didn’t pay much attention to the so-called Taige style. Later, an old professor told him that it was easy to criticize the Taige style. As for the level of the body, if you are not convinced, you can try to write one.

Xu Xiu could only keep her mouth shut. After all, calligraphy should be beautiful at a glance, but also beautiful at a closer look. The Taige style is not exactly the same as the standard of regular script. It must be black in color, uniform in size, square in shape, and clean in lines. It is also aesthetically pleasing in practical use , Those who have profound skills cannot write books. In this era, a good Taige style is very important, and it can only be practiced slowly.

Xu Xiu, who was soothed, indulged in the pen, ink, paper and inkstone, while Xiao Yang stood beside him and ground it for him, looking at the waste paper from time to time, feeling distressed.

It may be that Xiao Yang's performance was too explicit, which made Xu Xiu feel sympathetic, and his thoughts of practicing calligraphy were also diluted by Xiao Yang's distressed tragedy, and said to him: "Go to the county seat and prepare some New Year's goods."

Hearing that he was going to the county seat, Xiao Yang suddenly changed his face, "Okay, I'll feed Xiao Mao some food now." Xu Xiu's eyebrows couldn't stop jumping, and she got angry with the donkey at home, " Feed less, eat when you wake up, you can't get used to it."

"Hmm." The lamb probably didn't listen.

Putting on the thick coat, Xu Xiu's mood has improved a lot. At the age of 12, he must have a 12-year-old mentality. Forgetting the past age is what he needs to do to change his abrupt behavior. Although he still looks hard Very sophisticated.

Seeing the iconic poker face outside, Xu Xiuqing's delicate face tensed, "Why are you here?"

Xu Hui led a little donkey with a serious face and said, "Let's go with Brother Xiu."

There is no way, Xu Xiu has to admit that this Xu Hui is the best friend besides Xiao Yang, friends need tolerance, so he has always been very tolerant of this poker face, but this person looks very serious , but this person has been talking to himself in this tone ever since he got dizzy and uttered a sour speech once.

I don't know what kind of thoughts I have, and I don't think about how amiable it is for a 15-year-old boy who has just tied his hair to imitate the tone of an adult.

Xu Xiu took a deep breath and said, "I told you a long time ago that brother was dizzy in school that day, but you don't have to remind me every time!"

Xu Hui continued: "Why not?"

"You did it on purpose, whatever you want, just follow behind and eat ashes!" Three steps in parallel, he climbed onto Xiao Mao's back nimbly, Xiao Mao sneezed unhappily, and Xiao Yang raised the knife in his hand and slashed on Xiao Mao's back. On top of Xiao Mao's head, no matter how upset the donkey was, it could only walk slowly under his tugging.

Xu Hui didn't bring his servants. He got on the little donkey and followed the two people in front with a pole, with no expression on his face. If the donkey under him had spirits, he might think suspiciously, as if there was something With such a slight illusion, the corners of this person's mouth just turned up.

…………

Songjiang Mansion is located in the south of the Yangtze River, densely covered with small rivers, and there are many arch bridges of various colors. It is very enjoyable to walk along the way. Except for Xu Hui, Ah Niu and Xiao Yang are very happy to laugh and laugh along the way.

Pedestrians on the road were in a hurry, many of them were pushing wheelbarrows and carrying loads. Judging from the direction they were walking, they were all headed for Huating County, and they didn't pay any special attention to these little guys. Three children and two donkeys go out alone. Under the bright and bright world, it is difficult for anyone to have bad intentions.

The three of them stopped after walking for a while, because Xu Xiu couldn't walk when he saw the beautiful scenery, so he insisted on stopping to watch, and then he and the lamb exchanged rides on Xiaomao. Go and take the initiative to lead the donkey for the lamb.

Xiao Yang saw the sending-off team in the distance and hurriedly said: "A Niu, Master Hui, take a look, there are people sending off their relatives over there."

"Where is where?"

Xu Xiu is full of curiosity about everything in this era. The words recorded in ancient books are dead, and they are true only if they can see them with their own eyes.

Xu Hui calmly pointed to the sending team and said, "Brother Xiu has eye problems?"

Although it is not too far, Xu Xiu, who did not see it, immediately counterattacked when he heard Xu Hui's words: "You have eye disease, you not only have eye disease, you also have facial disease, go and ask the doctor to give you an injection, just make sure it is not complete." Already!"

Xu Hui glanced at him, "Hehe."

"Oh you ghost."

Although Xu Xiu quarreled with him, he still looked in the direction and looked over. There were four people in the front holding a bamboo pole with a tall lantern on it. There are seven members of the band, two who play the trumpet, two who play the drum, two who play the flute, and one who plays the sheng.

Then there were two people holding lanterns in their hands, and a porter was leading a sheep with two jars of wine.

Xu Xiu was very interested, walked closer, and said, "Is this marrying a daughter?"

The lamb also booed, "Yes, yes, Niu, when do you think I can get married?"

Xu Xiu wanted to hit the lamb on the head, but unfortunately he was sitting on the donkey and couldn't hit him, so he pinched his calf and said, "You are still young, why are you so anxious!"

The lamb was so wronged that he didn't dare to speak: What, can't I think about marrying a wife when I'm young?

As they approached, four people were carrying a sedan chair, which was beautifully and festively decorated. There were a few elderly women in silk and satin at the side, and at the end there was a strong man with a heavy box on his head.

Xu Xiu didn't know what to ask, "It's amazing, what is that?"

"Dowry." Xu Hui said.

"The dowry is actually placed on the head, I don't know it, I don't know it." Xu Xiu is very curious about this era, seeing everything is new, it seems that there is no need to deliberately forget the age of the previous life, the true color is gone You have to be old enough to go anywhere.

The procession of seeing off relatives passed bustlingly by, and several people started on the road again. Huating County is not far away, and there are more pedestrians on the road, and you can also see a truck pulled by six big horses. Xu Xiu is looking forward to it, such a real ancient scene , don't have a charm.

It didn't take long to see many shipping ships.

Since Huating County can be connected to the canal by water, and directly leads to the Tonghui River in Tongzhou to reach Beijing, the wharf outside Huating County has become extremely lively. A large number of trackers are pulling boats to the shore, and all kinds of goods are piled up. There are various taverns and post stations outside the city, as well as various rental shops, ranging from horse-drawn carriages, wheelbarrows, and even rickshaws.

Xu Xiu opened her mouth wide and pointed at the low, small cart in front of her, unable to speak because someone was pulling it in front. Could this be an ancient rickshaw taxi?The little person in Xu Xiu's heart yelled and shouted: "It's too real, it's too ordinary, it's too loving."

When the three of them came outside the city, the lamb jumped off his horse swiftly. No, he got off his donkey and said, "A Niu, Master Hui, let's go exchange money first."

Xu Xiu didn't know what to do. Can't the banknotes be used directly?

Seemingly hearing what he was asking, Xu Hui said, "The price is low."

The answer was unclear, Xu Xiu didn't understand, and then looked at Xiao Yang, but Xiao Yang's eyes were all on the puppet show in front of him, his face twitched, Xu Xiu patted Xiao Yang's shoulder with a smile and said: " Can you talk to your family, Niu, about exchanging money?"

As if aware of the danger of Ah Niu, Xiao Yang slowly lowered his weight and backed away slowly.Seeing him like this, Xu Xiu exploded in an instant and punched an uppercut, Xiao Yang backed away and dodged, and then Xu Hui said expressionlessly: "Hehe." It was very frightening.

The two stopped, and Xu Xiu said unhappily, "Tell me about exchanging money."

Xiao Yang said embarrassingly: "Of course the banknotes need to be exchanged for copper coins, otherwise it will be a disadvantage to buy things. People will accept them, but the price will be very low. It is better to exchange them for copper coins first."

Xu Xiu jumped up, "It's over if I say it earlier, the little thief sees the trick!"

Playing all the way, Xu Xiu was very happy. Except for the childhood in the orphanage, she rarely had such a happy childhood. Naturally, she cherishes her childhood again.

Seeing that Xiao Yang was about to exchange money, Xu Hui reached out to stop him: "Give it to me." Someone volunteered, and Xiao Yang was naturally happy, and he and A Niu stood around the puppet show without moving, watching very intently.

In this puppet show, there is a person hiding below, and there is a board with holes on the top to control the task, surrounded by cloth, and the characters on the top are all controlled by the person hiding below. It is very interesting. One of the characters, Xu Xiu, can recognize it at a glance. , Guan Yu, very vivid.

Not long after, Xu Hui threw a bunch of copper coins, turned around and left. He was more familiar with this place, so it was his duty to lead the way, while A Niu and Xiao Yang had no choice but to watch the puppet show reluctantly, and followed him with their donkeys.

Unconsciously, I have come to the outside of the city gate. The city is seven sticks high, and it looks very majestic from a distance. The market outside is also lively.

"Exchange money at the same time, the price is fair, and the old and the young are not deceived."

"Fresh fish noodles of various colors, please come inside objectively."

"This shop slaughters pigs and sheep..."

"Viewing the Three Worlds Map..."

Xu Xiu saw a circle of people not far away, and quickly grabbed the lamb Xu Hui and said, "Here, Xiao Mao, I'll go and have a look."

Regardless of the two people's reactions after speaking, curiosity overwhelmed everything at this time. When I walked in, I couldn't see the periphery at all. I finally understood that there was a strong man posing Go down to the Longmen Formation, draw the land as a circle, accept the challenge, what is the challenge?Sumo!

Some people are unconvinced and go into the battle, five copper coins a time, win double, lose nothing, win the strong man and not be able to fight, and there are people nearby who set up a game, and the onlookers can also join in the fun, wonderful, wonderful.

I only saw that the faces of the two were almost suffocated, and everyone around was booing. After all, the one who set up the Longmen formation had some ability. When the challenger didn't pay attention, he pushed horizontally. The challenger had no choice but to get out of the circle, and the onlookers won Naturally applauded, the losers left angrily and angrily.

Xu Xiu felt a strange feeling in her heart. When looking at history books, she always felt that they were just symbols of a decadent dynasty. It is so vivid and real, it seems that it is no longer possible to look at the problem from the perspective of a bystander, and must be integrated into this era.

Sensing the position, the curiosity became a little less, and he quickly walked back to Xiao Yang and Xu Hui, and just about to speak, he couldn't help taking a few steps back, clenched his fists in front of his chest and said, "What do you want to do!"

Forget about Xu Hui, Xiao Yang also had a stern face, and the surrounding air pressure was extremely low.

Seeing that they were unmoved, Xu Xiu could only say embarrassingly: "Sorry, sorry."

Xu Hui nodded and turned to lead the way, but Xiao Yang said "huh." Xu Xiu immediately rushed over screaming, laughing again when he was young.
