In early winter, frost and frost freeze. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

A group of hundreds of people walked in the empty and lonely Wuzhong wilderness, slowly heading north.

The ox cart that Shen Zhezi rode in had a thick-walled interlayer, with copper pipes inside, and there was always a charcoal basin to bake at the bottom of the car, so the temperature in the carriage was very different from that outside, and he only wore a single coat and did not feel cold. Sitting in this slightly bumpy carriage, I have a more intuitive understanding of the pursuit of comfort in clothing, food, housing and transportation regardless of the cost of the ancient wealthy families.

Yutan departs from Jiankang and always takes a few days to reach Wucheng. Shen Zhezi and other children of the Shen family rushed to Wucheng first, and they also had to contact the old and create momentum to make a hot scene.

The three-year discussion is divided into two parts, one part is the evaluation of the incumbent officials, which affects the promotion of officials, and the county is actually not having much say in this part.

The role played by the county is mainly to evaluate the official reserves, that is, to discuss the merits of the families who have not yet produced the official clansmen, which is directly related to the future career situation, so each family does not dare to underestimate it.

Sitting opposite Shen Zhezi was his cousin Shen Jun, the son of Shen Zhezi's second uncle Shen Ke, and the eldest of them, already twenty-one years old, who had already participated in a township agreement and the fifth grade of the township product, but he had not yet come out.

Among the junior clansmen who went to Wucheng this time, Shen Jun was pinned on by the clansmen regardless of his identity or talent. This time, the goal is to protect five and fight for four. Therefore, Shen Jun had the idea of having a heavy responsibility on his shoulders, and he was very nervous, even on the way, he was still holding the "Analects" annotated by Yu Tan's grandfather Yu Translation in his hand and reciting it silently.

Being in the same carriage, seeing Shen Jun working so hard, Shen Zhezi was a little uncomfortable idle. Seeing that Shen Jun's whole face was almost on the scroll, he couldn't help but comfort: "The eldest brother is proficient in scripture and righteousness, this is a well-known thing, there are bumps on the way, it is time to recuperate, and it is not appropriate to study hard." ”

Although Shen Jun was older than Shen Zhezi, he didn't dare to snub this cousin, who had already become famous, and smiled bitterly after hearing this: "Zhezi, you are an old protégé of Ji Guo, and what you have learned has been inherited, and everyone knows your name. Although I worship under Master He, I have been buried in the house for many years, and if I want to win people's eyes, I can only work harder on righteousness. ”

When Shen Zhezi heard this, he sighed again in his heart, this cousin Shen Jun is dedicated to learning, which is really a rare outlier in the family. It's just that in Shen Zhezi's opinion, it is a little nerdy and slightly pedantic. The so-called Nine Grades Official Law, in fact, is just like that, if you really want to learn to get ahead, that's a fool's dream.

The official law implemented nowadays, called the nine grades, is actually pinched to the end, regardless of the sages of the first grade, and the seven, eight or nine grades are not awarded, and the talents are usually between the second and sixth grades. The talents who can enter the product are at least six products. Only after further development did some people gradually be rated below the seventh grade, mostly for the poor and named the fixed product, but in fact it was humiliating.

Shen Jun's five products are actually very bad. This is still the township product agreed upon before Wang Dun's rebellion, and most of the Shen family members are five or six products, so the father Shen was indignant and directly drove out the Kong clan who was the county Zhongzheng at the time.

With the current momentum of the Shen family, Shen Jun's third grade is unobtainable, and the fourth grade is more than enough. The so-called fixed products, kung fu are all outside the book, and it is really a hell to rely on the profound meaning of the scriptures and the learning of individual talents.

However, seeing that Shen Jun was working so hard, Shen Zhezi couldn't bear to disturb him anymore to study hard, and the family must have achievements in all parties to be considered prosperous. Shen Zhezi has already planned his life for this cousin in his heart, since he is obsessed with learning, he might as well search for more classics in the future, and he will compile books and study.

When Shen Zhezi was thinking about it, the moving ox cart suddenly stopped, and there was a faint commotion in front of him. He put on a big coat and walked out of the closed carriage, the cold wind made the spirit of the emperor lift, and then looked forward, only to see the front of the Qu family soldiers in a strict array, as if there was a confrontation with people.

"What's up ahead?" Shen Zhezi walked up to Liu Meng, who was straddled the horse, and asked.

Liu Meng turned over and dismounted, standing in front of Shen Zhezi: "It's cold and windy, why did Lang Jun get off?" It's just a few disputes with people, and it's a trivial matter, and it won't delay the trip. ”

As he spoke, a horse suddenly came in front of him, and the knight was a weak-crowned young man with excellent riding skills, and a woman with struggling and shouting and messy sideburns roared in the crook of his arm.

When he got closer, Shen Zhezi recognized that it was his other cousin, Shen Mu, who was the most rude and known as Wukang. Looking at this posture, it is quite a posture of robbing the people's daughters, Shen Zhezi frowned when he saw this scene.

Sure enough, Shen Mu galloped not far away, and the front side broke out with a sad and angry roar: "Shen Erlang, you robbed my maid and insulted people to this, and I will be with you in this life!" ”

Shen Mu put the woman under his ribs on the horse's back, waved the horsewhip with one hand and laughed: "Chen San, my son, you have only the ability to speak and speak, and since you have the courage to humiliate my family, you will come to compete with me." Otherwise, your eldest father will take your concubine to make a meat stove later! ”

Hearing this clamour, the Shen family all burst into laughter.

Liu Meng had to explain again, and Shen Zhezi realized that there was the Chen family of the Great Wall in front of him, and the axle was broken and blocked the way. When the Shen family came here, they had a quarrel with each other, so a scene happened in front of them.

Knowing that it was not an insult to the Han Ding Shu people, Shen Zhezi also watched the play with peace of mind. Although the Chen family of the Great Wall did not belong to the scholar family, they were also wealthy families in Wuxing, especially at the end of the Southern Dynasty. However, there is no sign of development at the moment, and it is also asking for trouble if it provokes the Shen family.

More than a dozen people from the Chen family stood in the cold wind, and they were surrounded by more than 100 parts of the Shen family, which was even more miserable. Chen San, who was robbed of the maid by Shen Mu, screamed sadly in the wind, seeing Shen Mu roaring in front of him, but he didn't dare to move. In the end, it was the Chen family who bowed their heads and admitted their mistakes, seeing that the broken frame was lifted down the ditch by the Shen family, which could be regarded as a stop.

That's how the feud was formed little by little!

Shen Zhezi didn't know if Chen Baxian would have a chance to be the emperor in the future, and whether his fathers and elders would pass on this humiliating scene by word of mouth? Anyway, the Shen family is already a lot of lice, not afraid of bites, not bad for this little grudge.

Seeing the Chen family bow their heads and admit their mistakes, Shen Mucai let out a long laugh and threw the Chen family's maid who had fallen on horseback and almost fainted on the road. The Chen family was resentful, and directly pushed out the sad woman, as if they were planning to abandon her directly in the countryside.

Shen Zhezi couldn't bear it when he saw this, the woman fell alone in the wilderness, her life was in danger, and the two families had a meaningless little dispute, how could she even involve an innocent woman to die.

After thinking about it, he asked Shen Mu to call him over, and said with a smile: "People can't stand without faith, since the second brother has already clamored to accept that lady, how can he be untrustworthy." ”

Although Shen Mu is much older than Shen Zhezi, he has already trained under his uncle Shen Chong and knows Shen Zhezi's ability. Hearing this, his face showed bitterness, and he said embarrassedly: "Qingque, why do you bother me? My room is already noisy, just joking, how can I really force that lady......"

"The second brother said a joke, but he wanted to bury an innocent life and add resentment to my family."

Seeing that Shen Zhezi said seriously, Shen Mu didn't dare to insist anymore, and sighed: "I'm also a disaster, why bother to tease that Chen San and add another burden to my family." ”

Babbling in his mouth, Shen Mu turned over and got on the horse again, hugged the woman who was still sobbing horizontally, and shouted to the Chen family: "Chen San, this time I will buy your maid, and when you come to see me again in Wucheng, I will compensate you." If I know that you speak ill of my family outside, it will be difficult to resolve the grievances between you and me! ”

The township agreement is imminent, although Shen Mu is willful and domineering, he does not dare to add notoriety to his family.

The group hit the road again, and there were no accidents. After two days, they arrived at Wucheng.

The Xu family, as the landlord, came forward to receive the Shen family and his party. Hundreds of people were all settled, almost occupying a Zhuangzi outside the county seat of the Xu family.

The Shen family did not come empty-handed this time, and transported a batch of money and silk with the team, so that the Xu family could go to Wu County further north to buy a batch of bulk grain for temporary maintenance. As for the more direct rice and grain assistance, Shen Zhezi's uncle Shen Ke had personally mobilized it in Wukang and sent someone by the Xu family to transport it back.

As the most hardcore ally of the Shen family, the Xu family has been particularly affected, although it is not impossible to open the pot, but with the arrival of winter, the maintenance of the family business is becoming more and more embarrassing. Accepting this batch of assistance can greatly alleviate the situation, so he is extremely enthusiastic about the children of the Shen family.

Nowadays, the main entertainment method is still feasting, so in order to welcome the arrival of the Shen family, the Xu family also set up a huge banquet array. Those who are good friends with the Shen family are naturally also the families of the villagers, so this banquet is a lot less elegant, but it has a bit of Wuzhong's characteristic fierce style. The scene of throwing pots and archery, and the sumo wrestling horns.

The style of the Xu family's martial arts is a little prominent, that is, there is a specially opened up and sorted out bow field in the village. Nowadays, Keju is not a folk drama, but mostly a method of training soldiers in the army. Competitive and strategic, solid balls require a high level of skill and physical strength.

The Shen family is also full of martial arts, and these skills have been exposed to since childhood. After a short banquet and drink, they moved to the court, and each chose their favorite entertainment items to have fun.

Among them, the most outstanding is Shen Mu, although he is the sixth inferior talent in the township, he is not worried about it at all. won the first place in the arrow, and then turned to the bow field to kill the Quartet, and the limelight was exhausted. Even Shen Jun, a guy who is obsessed with learning, stood outside the court at this time and cheered for the people on the field.

Nowadays, the family style of each family can be seen from the usual pastime. It seems that those overseas Chinese from the south or the Qingwang people in Jiangdong will never have such a noisy and vulgar scene in the family banquet, probably playing the piano and playing chess, talking and chanting more. Just looking at the Shen family's children's enthusiasm for these entertainment projects, we can know that the Shen family has a long way to go if they want to change from a martial arts sect to a cultural warrior.

However, Shen Zhezi enjoyed the atmosphere very much, and was still thinking about whether to gather some people to hold a football league?

However, there are always troubles to face, Shen Zhezi is watching the ball game with great interest, and soon someone will sort out a list and send it up. The above list is the banquet he will attend in the next few days, although these banquets are all private in nature, how well he behaves at the banquet will more or less affect the final result of the township agreement.

Although Shen Zhezi is impatient, this is his mission to come to Wucheng this time, to help those guys who don't learn and don't know how to town. However, what made him feel a little comforted was that the Xu family came to report that Zhu Gong also appeared in Wucheng, probably to see how the Shen family had stumbled in this township meeting.

In this way, he completely defeated Zhu Gong, an elite monster, in Wucheng, and after operating for so long, the explosion rate is naturally exciting.
