Time is like an arrow, in a blink of an eye, it is the 28th day of the month of the twelfth year of Zhengde, tomorrow is Chinese New Year's Eve, and Xu Jin will also usher in the first Spring Festival of the Ming Dynasty.

Early this morning, Xu Jin brought the New Year's gift to visit Feifu, and asked Fei Hong for teaching by the way, in fact, Xu Jin will go to Feifu every two days during this time, which is equivalent to attending class.

After reading the article handed in by Xu Jin, Fei Hong stroked his beard and nodded with satisfaction, and said with a smile: "Xu Jin, after you go back today, you will say, 'Today's filial piety, is it said that you can raise?'" Write an essay on the topic and turn it in after the year. ”

Xu Jin nodded and said, "Yes, Master Fei!" ”

Fei Hong waved his hand: "Well, it's not too early, today is the twenty-eighth day of the lunar month, and the old man won't keep food, so go back!" ”

Xu Jin bowed and left the study, Fei Hong smiled and picked up a stack of manuscripts on the case, these are all eight articles handed in by Xu Jin, there are as many as ten articles in total, almost one every day.

From these articles, it can be seen that Xu Jin's level of craftsmanship is improving every day, and the two articles handed in recently are even more remarkable, the techniques are becoming more and more sophisticated and skillful, and the obvious progress makes Fei Hong quite surprised.

Of course, there are always a lot of uncertain factors in the examination room, and Fei Hong does not dare to guarantee that Xu Jin will pass, just like his eldest son Fei Maoxian, with his academic level, should have passed the college examination long ago and achieved fame in Xiucai, but he didn't pass the exam twice, but the second son Fei Mao passed the high school exam once.

Besides, Xu Jin left the study, led by the maidservant Hongying to the front yard, and walked to the gate of the first moon, where a group of warblers and warblers happened to come in from the opposite side, it was the three young girls of the Fei family, each followed by a personal maid.

Xu Jin chuckled in his heart, and hurriedly flashed to the side of the road, because he bumped into the third girl in the study that day.

At the same time, several pairs of wonderful eyes on the opposite side all fell on Xu Jin's body, and Fei Ruyi's pretty face was even more flushed with two blushes in an instant.

"The slave has seen three girls!" Hongying stood still and bowed her head.

Fei Xiaoyu said excitedly: "Hey, Xu Jin, I finally let this girl meet!" ”

Hongying frowned imperceptibly, the five girls have been spoiled by their wives since they were children, they have a wild temperament, they are difficult to discipline, they don't have the appearance of a lady, but the three girls who have no mothers since they were young have the best temperament.

Xu Jin is a little weak-hearted, this fifth girl of the Fei family is a little pepper, she won't deliberately block herself on the road to stand up for her third sister, right? But after thinking about it, it's been more than ten days, so I shouldn't be looking for trouble now, right?

"What advice does Miss Fei have?" Xu Jin bowed his hand as a courtesy.

Fei Xiaoyu walked in front of Xu Jin with her hands behind her back, her face was tilted, and she walked in front of Xu Jin with a pair of wonderful eyes, looking Xu Jin up and down, quite a bit of a young man flirting with a beautiful woman, but there was no obscenity, only the playfulness of a girl.

Those girls all covered their mouths and snickered, Fei Ruyi turned his face to the side, and he really didn't look at it.

Xu Jin calmly arched his hand and said, "If Miss Fei has nothing else to do, she will leave here!" ”

Fei Xiaoyu pouted and said, "Cut, what's the hurry, I'm afraid that this girl won't be able to eat you!" ”

Zhong Yahuan suddenly giggled again, this time even Fei Ruyi was a little handsome.

Xu Jin couldn't help but sweat secretly, the Fei family of the scholarly family had such a wild girl, which was an outlier.

"Xu Jin, I heard the second brother say, you wrote "The Legend of the Condor Heroes", right?"

Xu Jin suddenly felt that the manuscript of "Shooting the Condor" borrowed last time was seen by this fifth girl, and the kid swore that he would never leak it, and looking at the expressions of the girls opposite, he had obviously seen it!

"Yes, it was done in my spare time!" Xu Jin nodded calmly, anyway, Jin Daxia would definitely not come to the Ming Dynasty to accuse him of plagiarism.

Fei Xiaoyu clapped her hands and said happily: "Is there a follow-up?" Hurry up and bring it to this girl, so that she can't hang up or down, and it's uncomfortable to die! ”

Xu Jin was a little speechless, daring to love this one and urging the change, and then looking at the expressions of the other two Fei girls over there, as well as the several girls around them who were also hopeful, it is estimated that they have all watched "Shooting the Condor", Fei Minshou is really unreliable.

"Miss Fei, I'm really sorry, that "The Legend of the Condor Heroes" is just a work of leisure and pastime, and I have to prepare for the county exam after the year recently, and my studies are nervous, so I really can't spare time to write a follow-up!"

Fei Xiaoyu was disappointed when she heard this: "Then when do you have time to write?" ”

Fei Ruyi over there really couldn't stand it, and called: "Fifth sister is back, don't bother Xu Gongzi anymore!" ”

Xu Jin took the opportunity to arch his hand and said: "Farewell!" ”

Hongying hurriedly took Xu Jin away, originally the man from outside wanted to avoid seeing his inner family, but at this time, there was really nowhere to avoid meeting on a narrow road, if he allowed each other to talk for a long time, it was easy to cause gossip, after all, the three young ladies were all girls who had not left the boudoir.

Fei Xiaoyu said loudly: "Hey, Xu Jin, remember to copy a copy of our ...... when the follow-up will come out!" ”

Fei Ruyi pretended to knock Fei Xiaoyu on the back, and said angrily: "Don't be ashamed, do you have to shout so that the whole house knows?" ”

Fei Xiaoyu said disappreciatively: "What are you afraid of, it's not something that can't be seen, it's not like someone in the study that day...... Giggles, don't talk about it! ”

"You still say that it's not because of you!" Fei Ruyi's face was swollen red, and she was about to tear Fei Xiaoyu's mouth, regretting that she had told this little hoof about that day.

It turned out that Fei Xiaoyu heard her mother say that Xu Jin had been in her father's study all morning when she was having lunch, so she guessed that the third sister must have met Xu Jin when she entered the study to steal books, so she screamed and ran out.

Fei Ruyi couldn't stand Fei Xiaoyu's soft grinding and hard bubbles later, so she told what happened that day, but later even Fei Jixiang knew about it, and often took it out in private to make fun of her sister.

For this matter, Fei Ruyi was ashamed for several days, and a little regretful that Xu Jin was full of talent, but his character was not good, but after thinking about it several times, he felt that Xu Jin did not seem to deliberately take advantage of himself at that time, but really wanted to help himself, and how could a man who was so affectionate to his wife be a dirty and obscene disciple?

Of course, Fei Ruyi still had doubts about Xu Jin's character, because her handkerchief was missing, and she couldn't find it when she turned around, she suspected that Xu Jin picked it up, but just now in front of everyone, she was embarrassed to ask.

"Xu Gongzi, the rain and snow are slippery, be careful on the road!" The maidservant led Xu Jin to the door of the mansion, handed over an oil-paper umbrella and admonished.

At this time, the sky was drizzling, mixed with scattered snowflakes, and it was bitterly cold.

"Thank you, Sister Hongying!" Xu Jin took the oil-paper umbrella and opened it, smiled and waved his hand and walked down the steps.

Xu Jin was already handsome, he had a good meal recently, and he exercised every day, so he looked even more red and white, and his body was straight, although he was less than fifteen years old, he was handsome and handsome, and he already had the prototype of a beautiful son.

The maidservant Hongying's face was slightly dizzy, she waved her hand, and kept watching Xu Jin's back walk away in the rain and snow, and said secretly: "If Xu Gongzi is not married, he is worthy of the third girl in terms of appearance and talent, but his family background is weaker." ”

At this moment, two men in dogskin felt hats turned out of a nearby alley, their hands folded in their sleeves, their necks curled like passers-by.

These two people are the eyeliner of Ning Wangfu, responsible for monitoring the Fei family's actions.

"Hey, that scholar often goes in and out of the Fei Mansion, do you want to follow him to find out his details?"

"Cut, what you want to get, don't care about it a long time ago, that kid's name is Xu Jin, a student of Xinjiang Academy, and the two sons of the Fei family are classmates and friends, this kid is very famous, some time ago he also picked up the leader of the Xinjiang Academy Cold Relief Literary Association, Fei Hong seems to appreciate him a lot......"

The two chatted in a low voice and walked away, turned around and came back in a big circle.

……

Xu Jin returned to the store with an oil-paper umbrella, due to the weather, and the Chinese New Year was approaching, today's business was a little deserted, and there were only three or five diners in the store.

"Xianggong is back!"

When Xie Xiaowan saw Xu Jin, she quickly wiped her hands and turned out from behind the stove, gently brushed off the snow chips on Xu Jin's clothes, and brought a bowl of hot noodle soup: "Xianggong, drink soup to warm up!" ”

Xu Jin drank a bowl of hot soup, his body couldn't help but warm up, he glanced around, frowned, and said, "What about the little slave?" Are you lazy again? ”

"Hmph, Xu Papi, who is lazy!" The little slave wearing a tiger head hat stood up from behind the stove, daring to squat and burn the fire just now, plus he was short, Xu Jin didn't see him.

It is said that during this period of time, under the supervision of Xu Jin, the little slave had to go to the store early every day to help Xie Xiaowan, so he secretly gave Xu Jin the nickname "Xu Papi".

Xie Xiaowan frowned and said, "Little slave, you can't call your brother-in-law like that!" ”

The little slave sighed, glared at Xu Jin angrily, squatted down and continued to burn the fire.

Xu Jin is a little funny, it is the brine and the tofu - one thing drops one thing, the little slave is not afraid of his "wicked person" at all, but is very well-behaved in front of Xiaowan.

"Xiao Langjun came back just in time, I've been waiting for you for a long time, please help write the vice Spring Festival couplets!" A diner stood up with a smile.

Xu Jin smiled and said, "No problem, little slave, go into the study and get pen and ink out!" ”

Although the little slave was very reluctant, he still stood up and went to the house to get pen and ink.

During this time, Xu Jin was free to write Spring Festival couplets for diners in the store for free, of course, the paper for writing couplets must be brought by himself.

Xu Jin's handwriting is really good, so during this time, there was an endless stream of people who came to Xu Jin to write Spring Festival couplets, and of course it also brought prosperity to the store's business.

After a while, the little slave took out the pen and ink, soaked it in hot water, soaked it in a cold and hard brush, and then sharpened the ink familiarly. Because during this time, Xu Jin helped diners write Spring Festival couplets, and the little slaves played the role of scholars.
