Qing Dynasty One day in the spring of the sixth year of Xianfeng, about two miles east of the Forbidden City in Beijing, there is a mansion with red bricks and yellow tiles around the courtyard walls. You can see clusters of green treetops through the walls. The tall gatehouse has newly painted sand protection red, which is stung to the eyes. Above the gatehouse, a large plaque with red characters is hung with the words "Love for future generations". This plaque was given by the emperor of the current dynasty.
This is the mansion of the current imperial envoy Sun Ruizhen. At this time, in the main hall of the Imperial Envoy's Mansion, Sun Ruizhen sat on a leather chair, twisting her beard with her hands, closing her eyes to rest.
Suddenly, the door opened, and his son Sun Yuwen walked in. When he saw his father, he bowed and said, "My father, I don't know what instructions do you have to call the child?"
Sun Ruizhen opened his eyes and said, "Son, tomorrow will be the palace examination. You go to Weng's mansion and tell your Uncle Weng that our house is close to the Golden Palace. We will take you and your brother to live at home. It will be time to participate in the palace examination tomorrow morning."
Sun Yuwen was very happy when he heard this, and agreed and was about to go. He was stopped by his father again: "Son, there are two Changbai Mountain ginseng here. I will send it to you Uncle Weng to replenish your body." He said that, and handed a red box on the table to his son. Sun Yuwen took the red box and walked out the door. At this time, Sun Ruizhen looked at her son's back, twisted her beard with her hands, and a smile flashed across the corner of her mouth.
Sun Ruizhen and the current Minister of Personnel Weng Xincun were officials in the same dynasty. They had close relationships and had deep relationships, and were friends of the world. Sun Ruizhen's son Sun Yuwen and Weng Tonghe, the son of Weng Xincun, were born in the same year and month. They had good friends at the first year of childhood. Later, they studied and took the same exam. At this time, the two of them were ranked at the same time and participated in the palace examination at the same time tomorrow. However, who can win the No. 1 pick, second place, and Tanhua cannot be judged.
Besides, Sun Yuwen came to Weng’s mansion and paid homage to Weng Shibo, presented two seedlings of good ginseng and explained the purpose of the visit. Weng Xincun was very happy and quickly asked his family to take the ginseng and send it to the back house, and then called out his son Weng Tonghe and Sun Yuwen to meet.
Weng Tonghe was very happy to see Sun Yuwen. After the two of them greeted each other, they sat on the chair with their hands and started a cordial conversation.
Weng Xincun looked at the affection between the two people and also twisted his beard and smiled. Then he said, "Nephew Yuwen, I'll have dinner here tonight tonight to have a farewell to you brothers."
Sun Yuwen quickly stood up and bowed and said, "Thank you for your care, Uncle Shi, but when my nephew came, my father told me that the family banquet was ready. If Uncle Shi has free time, my father would like to ask you to have a drink."
Weng Xincun heard this and smiled and said, "Since my old brother has prepared a family banquet, let Tonghe go with you. I won't go because I have something to do. Tonghe, when I meet Uncle Sun, thank him on my behalf. After a few days, I will definitely thank you in person."
Weng Tonghe agreed voluntarily.
Weng Xincun looked outside and said, "Son, it's getting late. You have seen your mother at the back house. See what she has to do. Then go to the second house to see your mother." Weng Tonghe agreed and went to the second house to see her mother at the back house.
In a short while, Weng Tonghe was dressed neatly, walked out, bid farewell to his father, and then ran to Sun Yuwen with Sun's mansion.
They came to Sun Mansion. It was already late, and a round sunset slowly approached the western mountain. The orange-red light shone on the glazed tiles of the Forbidden City , shining with dazzling golden light.
The two of them joined hands to enter the mansion. The dinner had already been set up and there were all kinds of delicious food on the table. After the meal, the two of them came to the west wing room, and the room was brightly lit. As soon as the two of them sat down, they saw the door curtain lightly lifting, and Sun Ruizhen walked in. Weng Tonghe saw this, hurriedly stood up and bowed deeply, "Thank you for your care. I'm polite."
Sun Ruizhen waved her hand and said with a smile: "Nephew, don't be polite. If there is something wrong with taking care of you, you must be forgiven." After that, she sat down on a chair and said to Sun Yuwen, "Yuwen, your mother told you to have something to do in the back house. I'll talk to you and your brother for a while. You go."
Sun Yuwen first resigned Weng Tonghe. Weng Tonghe bowed and said, "Old uncle is so considerate to take care of his nephew, and I am really grateful to him."
" Don't be polite, your family and my family are family friends, and you are as good as Yu Wen, it's natural, and it's natural. "Sun Ruizhen said with a smile, and he glanced at Weng Tonghe again and said, "My old brother Shi and your mother are all right, right?" "
" My father and mother are in good health. When I came, my father asked me to go to Uncle and Aunt for him. He said hello and said that in a while, I would visit him in person to thank Lao Shiwang for his deep affection. "Weng Tonghe bowed again and said.
"My old brother is a prominent official, and he is very good at it." A father must have his own son, and a virtuous nephew is very talented and rich in literature. I admire him very much. "·
" The old uncle praised him, but his nephew really dared not be the one. "
The old and the young talked for a while. At this time, the Qiaolou had already beaten the third update. Weng Tonghe was already tired. Sun Ruizhen said again: "The nephew is extremely intelligent and quick-witted. I will give a couplet. If the nephew can answer, I will say goodbye immediately. "As he said this, he chanted a couplet: "Why don't you go yellow after autumn? "
Weng Tonghe thought, this couplet was inspired by "Why don't the grass not yellow" in " Book of Songs·Xiaoya ". He pondered for a moment and thought of the song " Jian Jia " in "Book of Songs·Qin Feng", which says "The so-called beauty is in the water", and he chanted: "The beauty is in the water. "
Sun Ruizhen praised repeatedly: "Good right, good right! My nephew deserves to be a talented person! "After saying that, he left first.
Weng Tonghe sent Sun Ruizhen away, just about to rest. Suddenly, a handsome woman came here, said with great blessings, smiled slightly, opened her red lips and said, "Young Master Weng, my maid comes to serve the young master. "The sound of orioles and the words of swallows make people's hearts shake.
Weng Tonghe looked up and saw a beautiful woman. She saw her pink face, peach cheeks, red lips, eyes like autumn water, eyebrows like distant mountains, dark green colors, every frown and smile was full of charm. Weng Tonghe was stunned. But when he thought of tomorrow's palace examination, he hurriedly said, "There is nothing here, so I dare not have to wait for the lady. ”
The pretty woman smiled and said, “Young Master, the ancients said, ‘The red sleeves add fragrance to the night of reading’, so I will wait for the young master to study. "After saying that, he came to the desk, burned three incense sticks and inserted them into the incense burner.
At this time, the cigarette was curling and the lights were everywhere. No wonder the ancients said, "Looking at the beautiful women under the lamp, looking at the flowers in the fog", which made Weng Tonghe dazzled. He was in love with a deer in his heart, and suddenly he could not control himself. He had to close his eyes, calm down, and suppress his beating heart, and then said, "Please make it convenient for me, I'm going to rest! "
" Young Master Weng, it's still early in the morning, let me accompany you for a while. "After saying that, he moved his lotus steps lightly and approached Weng Tonghe, with his eyes flying frequently and his breathing slightly.
Weng Tonghe still closed his eyes and said, "Miss, the ancients said, 'Men and women were not close to each other'. It was midnight, and the lonely man and widow were in the same room. There were many inconveniences. Please love yourself. "After saying that, he opened his eyes, walked to the door, pushed open the door, and made a "please" posture.
The pretty woman looked at it and said, "The ancients said, "The beautiful scenery is delicious and can be eaten." Who knew that she would encounter such a lump of wood. OK, I hope Mr. Weng has a good dream and will be the top scorer in high school tomorrow! "After saying that, he floated away.
Weng Tonghe hurriedly put the door on the fork before breathing a long sigh. He thought, where is such a good girl coming out? What exactly does she want to do?
At this time, the four drums of heaven were in a state of trouble. He thought of tomorrow's palace examination and simply did not think of her. He blew out the lamp, went to bed and lie down.
Before he closed his eyes, suddenly the sound of "crackling" firecrackers sounded outside the wall. He was shocked and ate He was shocked, turned over and looked at the roof of the room. Unexpectedly, the sound of firecrackers hung one after another, and the crackling sounds never ended. He got up and paced around the house. The firecrackers rang until dawn, and he walked until dawn. The more he thought about it, the more he felt that things were getting right. Sun Ruizhen talked until late at night, and the pretty woman tangled late at night, and the firecrackers rang until dawn. Could it be that Sun Shiwang... He dared not think about it.
It was dawn, and the Sun family brought Weng Tonghe snacks. Weng Tonghe didn't close his eyes all night, and he was disgusting. How could he eat the snacks! He had to say he was not hungry. He packed up and went to the palace examination.
When I entered the examination room, the examiner sent the paper. Weng Tonghe took the exam questions and took a look at them, and then felt weak all over, his eyes were covered in golden flowers, and even his hands holding the pen were trembling slightly. The most important thing in the palace examination was calligraphy, and he was secretly anxious. Weng Tong and saw Sun Yuwen, who was full of confidence at first glance, felt that his hope of winning the championship was very slim.
He sighed softly, feeling so stuffy that he felt so stuffy that he quickly let out his left hand to rub it. Suddenly, my hand touched two hard things. Only then did I realize that before I walked to the back house to bid farewell to my mother, my mother gave him two ginsengs in his arms and told him that he could use ginseng to refresh his mind if necessary. He immediately reached out his hand and took out two ginsengs, picked up one and put it in his mouth to chew it. After a while, the two ginsengs were in his stomach. It's strange that he suddenly felt that his spirit was full of energy, his thoughts surged, his writing was straight, and his hands kept writing, and he finished it in one go. After writing, I read the full text carefully. Not only is the literary talent brilliant, but the writing is also completely incomplete. He breathed a sigh of relief and was very satisfied. Then he was the first to hand in the paper, left the examination room, and went home.
A few days later, the palace examination yellow list was posted, and the emperor personally selected Weng Tong and the first top scorer. Sun Yuwen was second place, second place.
The last regret was Sun Ruizhen. He wanted his son to be the top scorer. Unexpectedly, the two Miao ginsengs saved Weng Tonghe's help, and the two Miao ginsengs he gave to Weng Xincun, he complained repeatedly. After the incident came out, people called Weng Tonghe "Ginseng Top Principal".
