In Yangzhou City, there is a mansion with the words "Zhang Mansion" written on it.

The owner of this family is Zhang Xikong from She County, Anhui Province.

In the sixth year of Shunzhi, Zhang Xikong passed the imperial examination and passed the Jinshi. After three years of Shandong Education, he witnessed the death of his fellow villagers. So he resigned from office because he was the name of his mother's death and went home to observe filial piety.

Zhang Xikong lived in seclusion in Yangzhou and devoted himself to the family business. In just over ten years, he became a well-known businessman.

Five years ago, I heard that the former emperor, the Ming court, was strangled to death by Wu Sangui with a bowstring. Zhang Xikong was unable to get sick and soon left.

The family business fell on the shoulders of the eldest son Zhang Chao.

Although Zhang Chao was born into a great man, he was extremely outstanding, liked to read, was well-versed in classics and history, and was famous all over the country for his literary talent.

He had participated in several scientific examinations, but for some reason he failed. So he spent money to buy a Hanlin official position, which was considered as his amulet, and then he was unwilling to the officialdom.

This person does not like to interact with officials, gentry, wealthy, wise and wise men. Only lay Buddhists who are happy with the mountains can drink with him.

It was already dark, and Zhang Chao had just had a drink with an old Taoist, and the Taoist priest was drunk and he returned to his study.

Shutong Hongxiu knew the habits of his eldest son. He always heard from others that he had the experience of a person who was not met with talent, and he always had to record it.

Over the years, the eldest young master has collected a thick book, and there have been dozens of vivid characters and stories.

The book boy who can be with Zhang Chao is naturally a well-educated person.

The book Tong Hongxiu also understood that the book "Yu Chu New Record" by his young master is different from that of Yu Chu Zhi on the market.

(Yu Chu is the elegant name of novels.)

Most of the Yu Chuzhi on the market are fake characters or stories about Sui and Tang dynasties, and the content is fake and empty, making people bored to read.

Every article of this book by my young master is a modern character, and everyone is a real story that is vivid and vivid.

What is commendable is that the young master ignored the risks and also recorded the tragic experiences of the remnants...

"Hongxiu, grinding ink, I heard another story about an ventriloquist, let me write it down first!"

Zhang Chao was dizzy when he drank, but he still remembered his Yu Chuxinzhi.

Hongxiu had to pour water into the ink inkstone, then pinched the ink ingot with three fingers and grind it carefully.

After a while, the ink was ground. Hongxiu picked up the brush, sucked the ink with the tip of the pen, scraped the tip of the ink inkstone, and then handed the brush to Zhang Chao with both hands:

"Young Master, your pen."

Zhang Chao took the brush, opened the blank book that recorded a thick set of blank books, picked up the pen and wrote it on it.

Each of his words is like a fly head. Although the font is small, every stroke and every stroke are clearly visible. The font is elegant and extraordinary. Even the words written under the drunkenness are slightly sloppy, and they actually have a kind of suppressed wild beauty:

"There are people who are good at oral skills in Beijing. They meet with guests at a banquet, and they set up an eight-foot barrier in the northeast corner of the hall. The oral skills are just sitting in the barrier, a table, a chair, a fan, and a ruler...

...

When I heard the barking of dogs in the alley from afar, a woman was shocked to find that she was not stretched out and shook her husband and said that she was obscene...

When the husband was muttering, he didn't respond very much at first, but the wife kept shaking her, and the two of them gradually got mixed up, and the bed was getting stuck in the middle...

After the child woke up, he cried loudly. The husband asked the wife to caress the child's breasts, and the child was holding the breasts and cried, and the woman patted her and whispered her.

...

Suddenly, someone shouted: "The fire broke out!"... So the guests changed their colors and left the seat, stretched out their arms, and fought with each other, almost leaving first.

...One person, one table, one chair, one fan, one stroke, one stroke as usual."

(The reason I posted it is because the ventricular skills of the People's Education Press have been deleted and modified. I fell in love with the original version of Zhang Chao at the beginning of my first hearing. The ancients' driving skills were ashamed of themselves. I could only stretch my neck, look sideways, smile, sigh, think it's amazing...)

Zhang Chao used the alcohol to write the last word in one breath, and with a "pop", he patted the brush on the pen holder, then tilted his head and fell asleep on the table.

Before Hongxiu could clean up the mess, he heard that his young master had already snored.

"Hmph-huh, hum-huh..."

Hongxiu shook his head and smiled bitterly. He had become accustomed to the scene of his young master.

Hongxiu reached out and picked up Zhang Chao, put it on the bed, tucked the quilt for him, then walked to the desk, picked up Yu Chuxinzhi, who had been written by Zhang Chao, and sighed.

The court is brutal!

The Ming Dynasty history case was very involved the past year, and nearly a hundred people lost their lives, and thousands of people were exiled to Ningguta for this... There are too many practical things in the new Yu Chu written by the eldest young master!

Even the matter in Jiangyin was included in the book...

I'm afraid that one day, it will become a disaster!

...

Zhang Chao wrote the famous "Oral Skills" and Pu Songling was chatting with his wife Liu, a wife thousands of miles away.

Pu Songling is already twenty-eight years old. He became a scholar at the age of 19. He is a famous talent in the county. Who would have thought that he would fail in the exam twice in a row?

Pu Songling didn't know that this would be a portrayal of his life. He started taking the exam at the age of 20 and was not in the last reference at the age of 63.

The biggest reason for this is that he wrote the story of foxes, monsters, ghosts and gods, and was named as a eccentric one, resulting in more than 40 years of examinations, but failed many times, and was even deposed several times...

The Liu family is also a local lady. Although the Pu family and the Liu family cannot be compared with the official families, these two families are not comparable to ordinary people.

Due to the wars in the late Ming and early Qing dynasties, the Pu family's business declined. Over the years, it has been very difficult to support the Pu Songling brothers to study.

"Husband, I feel wronged."

Liu peeled an apple and handed it to Pu Songling.

Liu clearly knows that his husband is talented.

She has read the first draft of the story of the Chinese Studio Storytelling written by Pu Songling, and the writing is simply indescribable.

"Madam, you followed me, but you endured hardships."

Pu Songling smiled and reached out to smooth out the frizzy expression in Liu's ears.

Liu likes her husband's intimacy very much. They have been married for ten years and have never quarreled or blushed.

Liu listened with his ears and saw that there was no sound around him, so he whispered:

"My husband, teaching will involve you in a lot of effort, which is not good for your studies. Your family urgently needs money, but it cannot provide you with your continued study..."

Pu Songling smiled and waved his hand: "It's okay, I'll teach those babies, so I can't just review it for myself. Besides, my parents are old and Ruo'er is young. You can't count on you as a weak woman at home!"

"No, I didn't mean that!"
