Professor Li’s Married Life Chapter 19:

Li Chengze didn't go to Lin Juren's school after he was selected as a scholar. He was busy getting married before. It takes time to process.

Li Cheng took the time to meet the Juren teacher, said a little about his not being able to come here later, and listened to his admonition and encouragement before returning.

Leaded by scholars, farmers, businessmen, and scholars, their social status is far beyond the comparison of the other three. Li Chengze has been very aware of this for a long time, so the imperial examination road must continue, but I am afraid that he will not be able to participate in this autumn in late October this year.

For one thing, Li Chengze is not original, he became a monk halfway, and he has never studied the four books and five classics of the serious scientific examination textbooks of this era. Although there are memories of the original owner, the original owner himself is a half-baked thing, and the achievements of the previous scholars are all unclear.

Furthermore, the Li family is so poor now, while Li Cheng has nothing to worry about, and his pockets are shy, and the imperial examinations also cost money. Otherwise, according to the trend of the Li family, the Bai family might start planning for Gu Qingci's dowry. Even though the Sun family doesn't have so many flamboyants in their hearts, they still feel that it is justifiable for Gu Qingci's money to be used by Li Cheng. but.

And Su Ziyan didn't know what An's intentions were, but he was able to copy a copy of the test questions for Li Chengze. After the original body got the questions last time, he didn't go to someone else to buy the answers. Instead, he made a copy himself. Barely achieved a mid-lower result, but this is a good thing, at least it will not attract attention.

As long as Li Cheng didn't pass it through, Qiu Wei's set of test questions would definitely not be able to do it at the original level, so he would definitely be tempted to ask someone to catch him.

Once the test questions are circulated, the consequences will be disastrous.

Su Ziyan is now Li Chengze's focus. Obviously, what Su Ziyan did was either to plot something against Li Chengze, or to frame him. Leaving aside how Su Ziyan got the test questions, Li Cheng felt that the first time he threw out the test questions, it was like a primer, and the purpose was to catch Li Chengze. The real trick should be this time the rural test.

After all, Su Ziyan himself participated in the last Tong Sheng Exam.

According to Li Chengze's guess, Su Ziyan was planning a conspiracy, maybe he wanted to get Li Chengze out of the exam.

If that test question is genuine, it proves that the test question was leaked. Leaking test questions and cheating in the examination room is a felony, and those who bought the test questions are also guilty. Once they are found out, many people will suffer bad luck, and it is not uncommon for them to ransack their homes.

Li Cheng pretended to tell Su Ziyan that he was going to participate in this autumn chamber, so he lied to him. This month, he deliberately seldom went out of the house, just to make Su Ziyan believe what he said.

Although he is not preparing for the exam, Li Cheng is not idle at home. He is preparing a novel to write.

Different from the obscure and hard-to-understand classic literature that governs the world, most ordinary people who can read can't understand it, let alone understand it. The vernacular novels circulated among the common people are mostly vernacular, and they belong to the kind that can be read by knowing the characters.

This is normal, otherwise the extra-curricular readings intended to relax the mind must be written in a complicated literary form, and no one will buy them.

Li Cheng quickly flipped through a lot of books, and then summed up. Nowadays, the types of novels on the market are roughly divided into four categories, including public case novels, ghost novels, legendary novels, and serial novels.

Of course, some small stories that are not long and only about love and love are not included here. Love story books have always been dismissed as vulgar by some people and cannot be put on the stage, but in fact Li Cheng has no opinion at all. After all, the market decides the direction, doesn't it? If everyone really didn't bother to read it, this kind of book wouldn't sell so well.

After thinking through his thoughts, Li Cheng planned to test the waters with the koan novel. The koan novel is actually a big concept. There are many short stories of this kind of novels, but there are few long ones.

Li Cheng is in order to make money. First, the intention of the novel must not have the direction and plot of satirizing officialdom corruption; Focusing on honest officials adjudicating cases and breaking prisons, it is best to establish the image of the protagonist and the decent characters in it as upright, clean and honest, and law enforcement like a mountain.

On top of this tone, add some tone and elements of Su Shuangwen, such as adding highlights in the protagonist's personality and character.

After preparing for a while, Li Cheng began to write.

He named his first novel "Cui Shi San Lang".

The main content of the story is also simple. It tells the story of the protagonist Cui Sanlang from a down-and-out noble son who experienced all kinds of hardships and trials, and finally became a commanding officer with an important position in his hand.

During this process, the protagonist was appreciated by King Xiang because of his thoughtfulness, wisdom, and ability to solve strange cases skillfully, and then he took advantage of the situation and fell under his subordinates. The important matter has gradually become the confidant of King Xiang.

Xiangyang finally ascended the throne as the emperor, and Cui Sanlang naturally became a minister.

Cui Sanlang was originally a son of the Hou family, but he lived under the control of his stepmother since he was a child, and was rejected by his father, so it was difficult to live in the huge mansion.

But one night, Cui Sanlang was assassinated by three assassins on his way home, and then he was thrown into the wilderness.

This is where the story unfolds.

The protagonist who was thrown into the mass grave is actually not dead, he is still breathing, but passed out.

Fortunately, at that time, there was a beggar who "scavenged dead money" was doing his daily work. When the beggar searched for the protagonist Cui Sanlang, Cui Sanlang suddenly stood up and opened his eyes suddenly. , and then stretched out a hand and grabbed the beggar's calf.

"The corpse is cheated!"

Cui Sanlang was rescued and survived. He was not a fool, he immediately deduced that his stepmother had something to do with his murder, but he also knew that he had no evidence, and his words were empty, even if he went back to make a tearful confession to his father, his father might not believe him, but would startle the snake and make that The sinister woman killed herself again.

He knew that he was alone and weak, and he would definitely not be able to defeat his vicious stepmother.

Thus, Cui Sanlang, who was only fourteen years old, made a decision. He pretended that he had been killed this time, and planned to take this opportunity to leave the capital. not too late.

Cui Sanlang, who healed his wounds, disguised himself and went to the pier, took a passenger ship going south, and left the capital.

…

Li Chengze used 5,000 words at the beginning, which can be regarded as explaining clearly the life experience and background of the protagonist.

Obviously, Li Cheng is writing about a growing protagonist. At the beginning, the fourteen-year-old protagonist can only be regarded as a teenager, and he is very weak. The father doesn't like it, just like a poor little image.

At the end of the story, Cui Sanlang must return to the capital with a high profile. At that time, his identity will undergo an earth-shaking change. Supervisors are directly ordered by the emperor and are the favorite ministers of the emperor.

Although it is a cliche story, as long as it is written well, no one will worry about it.

Judging from the character design of the protagonist, he is a typical character of Su.

Su Shuang is good, people at this time are not like later generations, who have not been brainwashed by all kinds of online novels, so they are more likely to be attracted by such stories.

Li Cheng laid out the outline of the story and finished writing another 30,000 words. He planned to go to the book store to ask questions and sell the novel.

He polished and revised the draft of the novel in his study, and more than half an hour passed before he knew it.

Over there, the two sisters of the Li family who learned to read at Gu Qingci's place also just left.

Li Cheng went back to the main room, seeing Gu Qingci still sitting on the desk looking at something, his brows were tightly frowned.

The girl next to him saluted, Li Cheng waved his hand, walked over, and asked aloud: "What are you looking at, could it be that the two younger sisters gave you a problem?"

When Gu Qingci was distracted, he threw the things in his hand aside and muttered: "What kind of problems can they give me, but they just assigned homework to my sister and let them practice by themselves. Yuzhu took the shop ledger sent by the shopkeeper a few days ago to read, and it became more and more troublesome to look at it like this."

Li Cheng knew as soon as he heard it that Gu Qingci was talking about the account books of his dowry shop, he shouldn't ask about this matter now, let alone intervene to manage it and come up with ideas, neither of which is appropriate.

So he just nodded, skimming over the words, raised his eyebrows and said, "Since you're upset, don't read it. Why don't I take you out for a stroll?"

As soon as these words came out, Gu Qingci's eyes immediately widened, and then he was surprised.

"I, want to go out! Can you?"

She acted like a child, which provoked Li Cheng to laugh, and said: "Why not, my family doesn't have such big rules, besides, Miss is going out with your husband-in-law today, what are you afraid of?"

Gu Qingci told him that his face was flushed, and his big eyes were bright and moist.

Then stood up suddenly and said: "Then I have to go and change clothes."

Li Cheng held her back and shook his head, "No, this set is pretty good, let's go, go out early, and have lunch outside."

Gu Qingci really didn't need to change this outfit, it was her first upper body, and the brightly colored material matched her bright and pretty appearance very well.

Gu Qingci was delighted to hear his praise, with a proud face.

It was planned to go out today, but Li Cheng asked Yuan Bao to rent a carriage.

At this moment, she brought Gu Qingci, and Gu Qingci brought another jade bracelet, and kept the jade beads to guard the house, and then they went out together.

Speaking of which, Gu Qingci hasn't gone out for a long time, and the marriage was arranged in a hurry before, afraid of being laughed at, so how could he be in the mood.

This is the first time to go out after getting married, and I am in a very good mood, so after seeing that the rented carriage is not so satisfactory, I rarely complain.

"Where do you want to go?" Li Cheng asked Gu Qingci first.

Gu Qingci is really not without ideas. Hearing this, he immediately said: "Of course it is Yuzhenxuan!" Yuzhenxuan is the most famous jewelry and antique shop in Beijing. Which lady doesn't know about it, Gu Qingci used to come here with the second wife every now and then.

Li Cheng naturally followed her, and the carriage drove past slowly.

The place of Yuzhenxuan is really big, and there are two floors.

The interior decoration is very nice.

Yuzhu got out of the car first, and then opened the curtain on the side, while Li Cheng got off and reached out to help Gu Qingci.

Seeing her stepping on the footstool, she jumped down and hurried to hold her.

Such a long skirt is really afraid that she will step on it and fall.

After supporting the person, he looked at her helplessly and said, "Don't be reckless, if you fall, you will suffer." As he spoke, he couldn't help pinching her cheek again.

Gu Qingci glared at people like a rabbit, and said in a low voice: "It's shameless, be careful, others have seen it."

Li Cheng couldn't help laughing, and then said softly: "Let Yuzhu accompany you for a stroll, I'll go to the bookstore, and I'll come pick you up later, is that okay?"

Gu Qingci nodded, most of the people inside were female relatives, it's not surprising that Li Cheng didn't follow.

Li Cheng sent the man to the door, and then left after instructing the shop assistant who came up to meet him.

There was also a carriage parked not far from their carriage, and two young girls got down from it early in the morning, watching the scene of Gu Qingci and Li Chengze just now.

Actually, a person wearing lotus root pink clothes said to the people around him: "Isn't that Gu Liu in front?"

The young lady in the royal blue dress snorted, with disdain on her face, and sneered: "It's just that, she has a big heart and dares to go out. I heard that she married a poor family, how can she afford Yuzhenxuan?" ?”

The people next to him laughed, "No matter what, it's the lady of the Gonghou family. Isn't there still a dowry? Let's go, let's go and have a look."
