Chapter VIII The Dragon Comes Out of the Abyss
After 15 years of hard work, I finally graduated. But before graduation, there is still a job to do, that is, fill out the application form.
On the night of the ceremony, my uncle and Ouyang Xiaozhen talked about ideals as soon as the topic started, and Ouyang Lei said. My uncle asked in surprise: "Do you want to take the exam?" According to the teacher, this kid can't even say a few words about the Analects of Confucius. Every time he takes cheating, he still wants to take the exam?
Ouyang Qianshen said: "It is up to man to do what he has done."
The first thing to do is to make the first requirement is that you will meet the basic requirements. However, my uncle didn't say this, and then thought about it and said, "Since you have the ambition to take the exam, of course I can't refuse to agree. However, you have to get married first."
"This..." Ouyang Khan really had the plan to popularize the marriage law, but it seemed that the benefit of his grandchildren was not good at all.
The uncle said firmly: "No need to say more about this matter, it's better if I force you. As long as you don't get married, I won't give you an identity document."
The identity document is equivalent to an ID card. This is not the ordinary people, but it is necessary to have it if you want to take the provincial examination. It is a bit troublesome to get this document. Those who take the exam have to go to the county to find the Imperial College, and those who sell the business have to recommend the village to the county government to handle it. This is the Song Dynasty. In the Tang Dynasty, even if you have participated in the imperial examination, you need to be an official to participate. If you become a civil servant in the Song Dynasty, you will have a fish talisman. The above records what your name is, what rank you are, and where you are.
"But if my nephew goes well in the exam, he will leave for three years. Isn't this let Xiu'er's sister be a widow?"
"His family Xiu'er is also a scholarly family, and there is still a woman's virtue. I think that Xiu'er's wise and virtuous family is a rare virtuous wife." The uncle said: "The eighth day of next month is the auspicious day. If you have no doubts, I will prepare someone and buy you a few acres of good land, so that you can make a living."
Ouyang knew that as long as he got married, his uncle would breathe a sigh of relief. He was worthy of his dead parents and his brother. Ouyang could only say, "My nephew followed the uncle's arrangement."
...
Ou Ping said in Ouyang's ear: "The man from Daberto went to the county to find your cousin, it seemed like he was going to apply for your identity document."
"How do you know?"
"What I said in the living room is that I am young, and no matter what others say, I don't think I exist."
Ouyang praising: "Good job."
"Thank you for your praise," Ou Ping said again: "Young Master, you promised. After escaping from marriage, you will take me to see the world."
"No problem." Ouping never left Oujia Village since he was a child. Last time Ouyang went to the county to take the New Year exam, which made him envious for several days. He asked Ouyang about his long and short questions all day long. Although he didn't know why Ouyang wanted to escape, he had to insist that the young master was the leader. When the young master said he wanted to escape, he had to escape and escape fiercely.
"You have been walking around the ferry these days. As soon as the documentary arrives, we intercept the two halfway and leave immediately."
"Ah? The young master doesn't pack his luggage?"
"Stupid! Such a familiar village, whoever sees us carrying big bags and small bags knows what we want to do. My uncle gave the order, let alone not get on the boat, even if he doesn't get on the boat, he can be intercepted."
"But we don't have money."
Ouyang smiled and said, "Money is not a problem. The most worry we need is how to escape. As long as we arrive at the county town and go to the official road, I promise you will have no worries about food and clothing."
...
Uncle Zhang is the only blacksmith in the village. He was targeted by Ou Ping as soon as he left the ferry. Ou Ping greeted him intimately: "Uncle Zhang."
"Opin!" Uncle Zhang took out a book from his arms and said, "This is the identity document of your young master. His cousin asked me to bring it back. You are just here, help me take it back, don't lose it."
"Thank you, Uncle Zhang." Ou Ping muttered in his heart. This young master was too careless and designed three ways to strike up a conversation for himself. None of the three ways to get the script were useful.
Ouping Road slipped back to the village and found Ouyang who helped his husband chop firewood. He made a gesture from afar. While stacking the firewood on the ground, Ouyang said to the husband, "Sir, let the students do the rough work in the future. You are a gentleman, and you have to take care of your own health. If you are sick, there will be more white diary in Oujiazhuang. I will leave first."
The gentleman sighed and said, "Are you going to escape from marriage?"
"..." Ouyang Khan, Dahan, said that the eyes of the masses were sharp, and when did the gentleman's eyes become so thief?
"Go and go, I will explain to the village chief later." The gentleman sighed again: "Sir, I also ran away from marriage and divorced from home. I haven't returned home for 30 years. You must not learn from me and come back to visit me more often."
"Yes, sir." Ouyang sighed. In modern times, Ouyang felt that all teachers were unable to get along with him. When he went back to ancient times, he felt that he was so close to him. Quality! The quality of the teaching team needs to be improved! From this point of view, don't treat the ancients as fools. People like Mr. who don't care about the world can see through their own little jiujiu. In the future, you must be careful.
"Wait!" The gentleman went into the house and took a purse and said, "There is always money here, so you should take it as a waste on the road first."
Ouyang Bun refused: "Sir, how can this work?"
The gentleman touched his chin and beard and smiled, "This is borrowing, and you are afraid that the village chief will not pay it back for you?"
"Mr. Xie." Ouyang bowed.
...
A common money is not a small amount, and a stone is only more than 100 kilograms of rice. The gentleman gave more than 200 kilograms of rice at once, which is of course very interesting. Let me tell you a little bit of money here. According to the research, one tael of gold is about 3,000 RMB, and one tael of silver is about 300 RMB. One tael of silver is slightly more than Yiguan money. However, the currency of the Song Dynasty was the most chaotic period in history, and it is not something that can be explained clearly in one sentence.
Although he has always had little money, it is no less than a fortune for Ouyang, who has been empty for more than ten years. Only then did Ouyang deeply understand what it means to give goose feathers thousands of miles away. Gifts are light and affection is heavy. He had always wondered before that it would be better to ask someone to give them a few pairs of shoes than to go for a thousand miles away. Everyone is more profitable.
Ouyang stood up on the bow of the boat, emitting a wind, and his long black and bright hair fluttered in the wind. Is it really hard to know the bitterness of long hair? The Song Dynasty did not have shampoo, so they used soap beans and pigling. The dignitaries washed their hair every three days and took a bath every five days, which was a sign of hygiene. Ouyang was willing to take care of himself as a bald head, but now he was taking the exam. The so-called body is taught to his parents, and it would be a big problem to deliberately purify his bald head.
"Opin, let's talk about some rules first."
"What rules? Master."
"First: Brush your teeth twice a day. Second, take a bath every day in summer and wash at least once in two days in winter."
"I know that the young master has loved cleanliness since he was a child. I know." Ou Ping asked, "Young master, where are we going now?"
"Xincheng County." Ouyang rolled up his sleeves: "Go and make some money."
"How to make money?"
