Chapter 175 Spring Festival Couplets

The government examination will be held in June next year. Chu Xiao is already a child. If he passes the government examination, he will be a scholar, so he will naturally participate.

As for the rest of them, Jiang Jingquan's knowledge is good. He will definitely take part in this county examination, and he will pass if nothing happens.

The other four children only started studying this year, but they learn things very quickly, so they might be able to get on the list this time.

After setting the goal of taking the imperial examination together next year, the few of them studied even harder.

I basically have to read in the academy until late at night every day.

Others were fine, but Jiang Jingquan was actually a little uncomfortable.

He has been a playboy for so many years, so it is naturally difficult for him to study well.

When he was in the capital, every time his father asked him to study, he would sit in front of the case for less than half an hour before he couldn't bear it. He originally thought it would be the same here.

But I don’t know why I was able to hold my temper and study after arriving in Wangjiacun.

In the winter months, the weather turned cold.

Because Fan County is located in the north and the weather is freezing, it snows almost every day in the winter months.

The academy closed its doors half a month before the Chinese New Year.

However, Chu Xiao's family did not return to the county town, but still lived in the academy.

Just think of it as being with Ge Chengan, a lonely man.

As for Jiang Jingquan, although he has a house in the county town, if he goes back, he and his servant will be the only ones in the house. The two of them will have no interest in celebrating the New Year, so they simply get along well with a few people in the academy, so they stay.

Wu Xiaomao, on the other hand, was happily picked up by his father as soon as he was on vacation.

This child has grown a lot in the past six months. At the same time, shopkeeper Wu was even more happy when he heard from Ge Chengan that his son could take the county examination tomorrow.

He is now extremely lucky that he allowed his son to study in Wangjiacun, otherwise such a good thing would have been something they would have never dared to think about before.

This year, there were more people like Ge Chengan and others here, so Wang Yixi discussed with a few people and decided to just get together to celebrate the New Year.

Several people agreed.

A few days before the Chinese New Year, Wang Yixi and Chu Xiaoniang went to the county town together to buy some things for the Chinese New Year.

When I came back, I saw someone selling red paper on the street, and Wang Yixi also bought some.

I just happened to take it out and write a couplet with the word "Fu" for a few scholars at home. Posting it will give me a New Year atmosphere.

Ge Chengan, among other things, is praised by everyone for his good calligraphy.

When a couplet is written, even Wang Yixi, who doesn't know calligraphy, can read it very well.

So he hurriedly ordered the dog to go out.

When the villagers who were coming and going at the door saw the red couplets posted on Wang Yixi's home, they were all ready to do something.

In previous years, people in the village would definitely not have spent money to buy couplet stickers.

But now the people in the village have made money by following Wang Yixi. Since they are not short of money, they have to spend the New Year well.

Therefore, many people bought red paper and planned to find someone to write a couplet and post it.

Among them, several families adjacent to Wang Yixi brought some eggs and other items to Wang Yixi, and asked Wang Yixi to help Ge Chengan speak and write couplets for everyone.

Wang Yixi asked Ge Chengan, and after getting his consent, he took those who wanted to ask for couplets into the courtyard next door.

This is the first time for these people to come to Wang Yixi Academy.

In the past, although they could see this big blue brick house when they came and went, they could only see it from the outside.

But as soon as they entered, they noticed the difference between this place and other places.

The spacious classroom, neat desks, and paintings and calligraphy hanging on the walls all make this place unique.

After entering, many people even lowered their voices unnaturally and did not dare to speak loudly at all.

Wang Yixi couldn't laugh or cry about this.

Ge Chengan was a good-tempered person, so he was not unhappy to see so many people. Instead, he smiled and said, "What kind of couplets do you want?"

The people in the village didn't know this, so they were all a little confused.

When Ge Cheng'an saw this, he stopped asking. He stopped writing and thought for a while before starting to write.

"The people are safe and the country is prosperous, and the good weather and good weather praise the Chinese years." Ergou read out from the side.

After he finished reading, everyone present immediately looked at Ge Chengan with joy.

"Good couplet, good couplet." The uncle who asked Ge Cheng'an to write it laughed and said, "It's Cathay Ming'an and the weather is smooth. What could be better than this? Mr. Ge is so awesome."

Ge Chengan felt a little embarrassed to be praised so much.

He's actually not that powerful.

These couplets are just some simple ones. As long as you are a scholar, there is no one who can't do them well. How can they be worthy of being praised like this?

He was not good at words, so he could only cough twice, and then asked the others: "Does anyone else want to write?"

"Of course I want it." An aunt hurriedly put her own paper in front of Ge Chengan, "Mr. Ge, please write one for me too, and I hope everything goes well."

Ge Chengan nodded, thought about it, and started writing again.

"A millennium welcomes the New Year, and auspicious snow heralds a good harvest." The dog continued to read to everyone.

"The east wind brings good fortune to the house, and the years renew and fill the door with blessings."

"..."

Ge Chengan wrote several letters in succession, and then stopped when everyone in the village had written one.

The villagers were very excited after getting the couplets they needed.

Although they didn't know the words, the dog read it to them just now.

Knowing that every couplet in their hands has a good meaning, either auspicious or joyful, everyone is very happy.

Some people had heard Song Xin's rumors before and thought that Ge Chengan was really just an alcoholic who didn't understand anything. But after a while, they all knew that what Song Xin said was not true.

Among them, several families who had sent their children to Song Xin instantly regretted it when they saw Wang Yixi's spacious academy and Ge Chengan's impressive knowledge.

"Hey, if I had known that Mr. Ge was so knowledgeable, I shouldn't have sent my son to Song Xin." The uncle who first asked Ge Cheng'an to write a couplet sighed and said.

"Yes, even though Song Xiucai is very knowledgeable, he looks down on our villagers. I heard that brat in my family said that Song Xin was extremely impatient every time he taught them. He only needed to teach them twice and they couldn't understand anything.

I was impatient and continued talking." Someone complained.

"Yes, speaking of it, my brat and the dog read the book together. But the words written by Mr. Ge just now are recognized by the dogs, but my brat only recognizes one or two. It's really helpless.
