Transmigrating to the Ming Dynasty’s Imperial Examination

After Sun and Cheng Erlish returned to Beijing, they greeted Cui Xie, saying that this trip to Nano went very smoothly. For his grandson's sake, his maternal grandson took good care of the old son-in-law of the Cui family, and paid his own food to finish his sentence.

Cui Xie was surprised and worried. He was worried that the Liu family really looked at him to reconcile with Master Cui, and told him to go back to the frontier to be too happy and his expression naturally did not like it. The two wise men thought he was worried about his father, and they smiled and persuaded: "Our brothers have official duties. We have never watched my grandfather come back, but I want to know, can my son-in-law stay with him for a few more days after meeting? A family recounts old love, talks about children and grandchildren, and has to get in touch for a few days. Even coming back ten days and eight days late is nothing."

Cui Xie squeezed a little smile and thanked the two of them: "Thank you brother Xian for telling me that I am relieved to know that my father is well. It's just a bitter cold at the border, now it's almost Mid-Autumn Festival, and the roads are full of wind and frost. I only worry about my father. I'm still running on the road, my body can't bear it..."

Sun and Cheng looked at the sky outside, and laughed loudly: "Where is the wind and frost! You are too worried about it. Now it is the season of autumn, which is good for autumn travel, and my father’s return is just a good time to enjoy the scenery. It is the Jiubian. It will be cold after September, Cui Hanlin just feel relieved."

Cui Hanlin didn't care about it, and wrote a letter back to his hometown first, asking his grandmother and younger brothers to wait at ease without worrying about his father.

The two great men paid the order and relayed the news of the prisoner to Cui Hanlin. They were completely finished with this errand. They were relaxed and looked for new clothes, boots and hats during this golden autumn season, preparing to follow their colleagues after the Mid-Autumn Festival. Watching the show.

It is a new lineup of Gao Baihu looking for the Qiuxi ban. The mysterious talents such as the bouldering layman, Mr. Shuixi, and the Longquan hermit have been silent for a few years. Another masterpiece, based on the most fashionable comic strip today-"Jinyiwei's Storm Rising"!

At the back of the book, the author's pen name also contains the names of Jin Yiwei comic strip authors Longquan Hermit, Yu Zhousheng, etc. It is obvious that this drama is produced by the same group of people as the comic strip, and it is by no means comparable to those crude and shoddy pseudo-dramas on the market. Even the embroidered images on the cover and clip of the courtyard book are exactly the same as the comic strips, and the color pictures are more and more detailed, which makes people love it.

It’s just that the painter is still unnamed—Yuemo is a painter raised by Juanzhai himself, who specializes in imitating Cui Meiren’s painting style. The owner of Juanzhai must see him like a treasure and dare not reveal his identity. Other people's homes hooked away.

This miscellaneous script was modified according to the comic strip, and even the author of the picture book is named in it, and the content is naturally almost the same as the comic strip. Because it was originally too long, the four-act zaju could not fit so many things. The bouldering layman also blended the songs and arrangement of the southern opera in the northern opera, pulling the four-act opera to fourteen acts, and adding a wedge, it was just right. The number of Jin Yiwei's main characters...

Hiss, it seems like someone is missing?

The two great men pondered for several times, but still couldn't remember it, so they had to ignore it, researching the new academy, and imagining what it would be like on stage with the comic strips that Su Ri had seen. Those paper men came to life in their minds, and they automatically assumed the appearance of a few familiar Qianhu real people, infinitely chic and heroic; and they all turned into attendants beside Qianhu, and they happily defeated the Japanese pirates with swords. Going all the way to overseas...

Nowadays, the comic strips are still coming out endlessly, but the courtyard has a ending. Fourteen thousand households in Jiaoxie Town lead the cousins ​​to fight against Japanese pirates, and finally kill Fusang on a treasure ship!

The yard did not write about what to do after killing Fusang, but it was all going to kill Fusang. It is estimated that the next play should include how the Ming sergeant should wipe out the Japanese army, so that the Japanese emperor in white will surrender.

Or how could the name of the courtyard be specifically called "Jinyiwei: The Wind Rising Clouds" instead of "Jinyiwei"? There must be a continuation of "Jinyi of XX"!

It’s not just the two of them. Fusi in Nanbei Town is looking forward to seeing the new play when he returns to the palace on the fifteenth day. Even Xie Qianhu, who is always obsessed with official duties and is reluctant to spend time for entertainment, has not escaped this drama. Temptation.

Two days before the Mid-Autumn Festival, when Cui Hanlin approached him because he was worried about his father’s delay in returning, he couldn’t help but talk about it: “Nowadays, I don’t like watching theaters. Gao Baihu is useless in the palace. He started looking for a new play with the outside team again. He also rented the Huangjia Garden, and he also found someone to sell food and drink inside, in order to do the Three Kingdoms Tournament organized by your Ju'anzhai, and hold a Jinyiwei Conference. Will you go there that day? If you go, don’t post, because you, Cui Hanlin, have been an interpreter for this town for many years, and the secretary of the town will recognize you as your own.

Cui Xie has been out of filial piety early now, and listening to the drama is not too much. After all the time, he happily agreed: "The Zhang family brothers will go there that day. I will tell them to go with Brother Wang. I will go to you alone. We are still Looking for a remote place to watch a play? I'm just afraid that when my master comes back from outside that day, I have to tell someone to watch in advance..."

Xie Ying was surprised: "Cui... Shi Bo hasn't returned yet?"

Not only did they not come back, but most of the servants who followed did not come back. Instead, someone from the Liu family gave some money and gifts.

He specially selected Liu Guanshi, who was in charge of the past, to follow the Liu family back, but said that he asked Master Cui to **** the silver and throw it away. Later, he had trouble finding Liu's house and asked the old master to arrange to send it back, but he did not know the master. What happened after the party left Yulin. The stewards who gave gifts to the Liu family only said that Nano’s affairs were not taken care of by their old town, and Cui Que had never found them either, so I don’t know what happened.

These days, he sent people to the northwest to welcome Master Cui and his party again and again, and the family was empty. There were only a few rough servants left in the huge yard, and there was no one to be able to treat guests, so it was for him, Lord Hanlin, to pour tea for Lord Zhenfu himself.

Xie Zhenfu panicked for him: "How do you live these days? My father was sent back to his native place. Even if he came back from the northwest, he couldn't enter Beijing. He still had to move back to An Shou Xiao. There is no one serving in your yard, why not temporarily Live in my house for a few days, wait for the family to come back and settle again?"

He also wanted to allocate a few family members to help Cui Xie find someone, but Cui Xie waved his hand: "The two adults, Sun and Cheng, said earlier that the grandfather's family took good care of his father, maybe they kept him for a little longer. There should also be arrangements for the return journey. I am not worried about asking people to meet me on the road, but I’m just doing my best as a son."

Although the Liu family said that he had never seen Master Cui and had never entertained him, it was said in private. Everyone had returned to the border, and there was no verification. He just pretended that he had never heard of it.

Cui Xie smiled: "Anyway, my grandmother, Heng, and his brothers are not there. There are fewer people in this yard. I can do ordinary things by myself, and some people do the cleaning and washing."

Their Jinrongtang family still sells fragrant round soap and soda ash, and washes silk clothes soaked in alkaline flake water, which is clean and does not fade. Hiring a washerwoman with soaps and peachine tablets made by herself, and they are willing to cut some silver for his family.

Xie Ying said, she couldn't help but smile: "You are having a hard time this day. No matter, I'll see you a few more times and bring someone to help you clean up the yard and wash and sew. I only hope that my uncle will return home as soon as possible. Your family members came back earlier."

Cui Xie shook his head: "I'm looking forward to the master's coming back later...I'll be back later." People have to avoid people for a long time. If they are clean and clean, they are only two of them. Even some housework is worth it. .

He stood up, walked beside Xie Ying, hooked his neckline and said: "After the Mid-Autumn Festival, let’s go to see the Jin Yiwei show where Xie Zhenfu and Cui Hanlin appeared. Today I invite you to see Xie Qianhu’s rescue of Master Cui. How about the little play?"

What Xie Zhenfu really wanted to see was Cui Hanlin's night run, but it was still early, and he remembered that Cui Xie had said that he wanted to get something new for him to see, so he stood up with the force of the finger that shook his collar. , Shook his hand and asked: "What do you think of that little play? There is no outsider in this room, so you want to sing it to me yourself?"

Cui Xie pursed his lips: "If you really want to hear me and can sing, I'm afraid that half of it will sing for you. If you don't run, I will sing."

Xie Ying pushed him in her arms, put her chin on his shoulder and couldn't help laughing. She didn't know how long before she stopped her smile, and said in his ear in a slightly hoarse voice: "Either you give me the trick. If it’s what I know, I’ll sing it to you?"

In fact, Cui Xie has never written any opera lyrics. What kind of lyrics do you want for a foreign film? The artists are all sung on the spot. Although he can't sing on spot, he can sing on spot!

He took Xie Ying into the small study in his bedroom, and opened a red cloth covering the table under the north window, revealing a large wooden box with two floors, underneath the wooden box is a circle of eight crystal convex lenses.

Xie Ying looked at the shape of the box and laughed: "As expected, a man who has been a Hanlin and received royal salary, did he make a box inlaid with crystal lenses to play with? This is the little play that Cui Di asked me to watch? Will it be a variety of juggling tricks like ants, frogs, and sparrows?"

Cui Xie patted the wooden box and said with a smile: "The play is in this box. It has been arranged. Brother Xie closes one eye and looks inside the lens."

Xie Ying couldn't see anything from the stocky wooden box. When she closed her eyes, she realized that there was also a bright light behind the lens, which gave a vivid picture. The picture shows a long alley with the corner door open. A simple awning carriage is parked outside. A familiar old man sits in front of the car. The back of the car is supported by a young man, but the person who is about to board the car is familiar. To the point where I can no longer know it

The picture seen through the crystal lens is actually a bit distorted, but the slightly childish face, which is so beautiful that people can't look away, can be recognized by him at a glance.

Choi Sub? This is when he leaves home?

Just as he was about to ask something, the picture in front of him suddenly changed. The long alley and the carriage are gone, turned into a avenue, extending out from side to side, and the facade is so blurred that an inn on the side of the street occupies a good place in the center of the picture. Looking in the window of the inn, you can see one. An official in Jinyiwei wearing a green dress is fighting with others.

The corners of his mouth curled up slightly, and he said warmly: "So you remember me so clearly."

Cui Xie stretched his hand to the back of the box and turned the picture inside to another. It turned into a picture of him being held hostage by the white lotus teacher Xu Zushi, and a thousand households in green clothes standing with a knife. He smiled: "I saw it at first sight. You, I think you are really serious, you don't care about emotions, you don't follow routines, you really can catch criminals and sinners..."

There were some things Xie Ying couldn't understand, and Cui Xie didn't explain, but smiled and said the deepest impression of him at the time: "You look so beautiful when you smile, so gentle."

Xie Ying thinks of the old things, but she often feels scared. If Cui Xie hadn't hit the master Xu, maybe he would have been chopped to death.

He grabbed Cui Xie’s wrist and said apologetically, “I was too anxious at the time, I’m afraid that Master Xu will run away and lose everything... If I knew that you will be my person in the future, I will love you like this. I will protect you well and prevent you from suffering from his stab and suffer the sufferings afterwards."

Cui Xie put his face on the back of his hand and said with a smile: "That's not necessary! I also have the desire to be a hero, and I am willing to sacrifice for the country and help you catch the chaos!"

Even if it is to catch criminals from the Ming Dynasty and not from their heavenly dynasty, everyone is responsible for maintaining public order!

He straightened his chest slightly: "At that time, I also admired my bravery and resourcefulness, and I was very satisfied with it. I didn't regret it at all! Besides, Master Xu made such a small cut on me. It is far from killing me. Mainly The injury is not there. If I didn't meet Jinyiwei's errand this time, I would really die on the road without you looking for a doctor.

Xie Ying suddenly remembered the appearance of his legs oozing blood that day and unable to stand up. He moved his gaze to his face, with a slight haze on his face, and said in a deep voice, "It was your adult who injured you and asked you to hurt you. Go back to the country. If the wound doesn't heal on the road and puss..."

Cui Xie said softly: "I wanted to draw this story from when I entered Cangzhou and met you. Later, after thinking about it, I still drew a little bit of the previous thing. That day was... the day before I met you, I Because of the former stepmother Xu’s frame, he asked the master to fight once; the next day he was driven to Qian’an. If I hadn’t met you on Tongzhou Road, I would definitely die again..."

Xie Ying didn't hear the meaning of his words, only when he was beaten to death, the Cui family kicked him out of the house without even treating the injuries. But even with this explanation, Xie Ying could feel his misery and helplessness at the time, and couldn't help but hug him hard, as if to compensate for the hand that was not stretched out at that time, press him into his arms, and try to press them. The saying comforted him: "Da Shun is a saint emperor through the ages, and there are also'father stubborn, mother arrogant, brother arrogant', and his relatives all want to harm him. You met such a family member in the past, it was God's temper that wanted you to be a saint. "

He paused and lowered his words a bit: "But don't worry, the Xu family is married to a native, and he won't be able to return to Jingli. I will discipline your brother for you, Cui... the old gentleman can't hurt him anymore. I'm watching you."

He would never let that person get close to Cui Xie again and put his father's prestige on him.
