The old housekeeper walked for a day before he walked to the thatched house of the third lady, which was tattered and windy on all sides, and there was a blind old woman and a boy, all of whom were in the house, and the husband of the third lady went to work in the field and had not yet returned home, and the husband of the third lady was named Zhao Guisheng. 
When the third lady saw that the old housekeeper had come to visit her, the third lady was happy and sad in her heart, and she couldn't help but burst into tears like a spring. The third lady pitifully hugged the old housekeeper and cried and cried ......It's heart......-wrenching to cryThe old housekeeper is also an old tear, the old housekeeper comforted the third lady, don't be sad, don't cry, your hard life is over, I am here to report good news to you, the third lady cried for a while before she stopped crying, the third lady let the old housekeeper sit on the earthen kang, brought a bowl of hot water to the old housekeeper, let the old housekeeper rest for a while, slow down, the third lady was ready to make noodles for the old housekeeper, and after a while, the third lady brought a bowl of clear water to the old housekeeper, there was only a few green onion leaves in the noodles, not a drop of oil, the old housekeeper choked and ate this bowl of clear water noodles with tears, the old housekeeper didn't mention the sadness in his heart！Poor Miss Three, Miss Three saw the old housekeeper's heart, the old housekeeper was distressed about her hard life, Miss Three pretended to smile and said to the old housekeeper: Uncle, I have a good life, every day we are husband and wife** And you can rest assured, although the days are a little harder, but, I live very comfortably, Zhang Guisheng went to work in the field during the day, and came back at night to pick up the lights at night to learn Xi, ready to go to Beijing to catch the exam, if you can be admitted to an official and a half-job, our family will live a good life, and you can go to Beijing to catch the exam in a year Xi studying in Ninna.

Zhao Guisheng, the husband of the third lady, asked: Who came to our house today, and where did so many things come from?The third lady sighed and said, "Alas......."Today, the old housekeeper brought it, my father is going to celebrate his birthday, let us go to celebrate his birthday, the birthday banquet is set for the sixteenth day of August, let's go back to celebrate the birthday together, I also want to go back to see my parents, my parents are old, and they also need someone to take care of them.

The third son-in-law is a poor talent with both civil and military skills, and finally admitted to the champion, poor all his life, honest and self-disciplined, and clean in both sleeves, he is a real generation of clean officials, and finally became a poor county official. Don't harm the people for money. The next episode passed quickly, and it was about to be the day of Liu Yuanwai's birthday banquet, on this morning, the third lady got up very early and was ready to pack up her things to celebrate her father's birthday, and when she left home, she settled her husband and went to her father-in-law's house to talk as little as possible, so as not to make the two brothers-in-law hate to make trouble. Zhao Guisheng promised his wife and said: Don't worry, I can deal with these two straw bales, no matter what they say, I can handle it. Miss three and her husband returned to their parents' house, Miss three saw that the banquet was particularly crowded, the birthday banquet was very good, full of friends, there were all kinds of delicacies and seas at the banquet, all kinds of delicacies, an old gentleman arranged for Liu Yuanwai to preside over the banquet, the old gentleman stood in front of the banquet hall and began to speak: today is an auspicious and festive day, today is the double Xi Linmen, the third miss is home, it is worth everyone to congratulate, Shuangxi is coming to the door, seven ranks are fragrant, such as the song years;The birthday star is shining, and the fluffy is shining.

When everyone was eating, drinking and having fun, Liu Yuanwai said: I am very happy today, my third daughter has been away from home for many years and came back today to celebrate my birthday. If you answer incorrectly, drink three drinks. The four sons-in-law all agreed to their father-in-law's proposal in order to make him happy. The eldest son-in-law is: literati. The second son-in-law is: an official. The third son-in-law is: poor farming. The fourth son-in-law is: businessman Liu Yuanwai thought in his heart, the eldest son-in-law is a literati, the second son-in-law is an official, the fourth son-in-law is a businessman, the third son-in-law is a poor boy who farms and has no ability, and I don't know why his third daughter wants to marry this poor boy who farms the land For the topic, let's start with the eldest son-in-law: the three of you, each of you say a word, and see who can match it. The eldest son-in-law said first: Heavy rain has fallen one after another. The second son-in-law then said: It is the blessing of the official family, and the fourth son-in-law went on to say: Where will it go for ten years? The third son-in-law said: Put your mother's bullshit, the third son-in-law is eating alone, wait for them to finish talking about themselves, see what good verses the three of them can say, and the third son-in-law continued: Put your mother's bullshit. The three sons-in-law were afraid of disasters when they farmed, and as a result, the three sons-in-law all said that they were targeting the third son-in-law. As soon as the third son-in-law heard them say such a thing, he was a little angry in his heart, so he casually said that sentence: Let your mother shit. Liu Yuanwai also knew in his heart that the three sons-in-law were aimed at the three sons-in-law, and Liu Yuanwai came up with another question: it starts with the word "people", and the end is also a poem with the word "people". The eldest son-in-law said: "People are safe." The second son-in-law said: People are humans. The fourth son-in-law said: A good man. The third son-in-law said: People don't know, you push people. After the second son-in-law finished speaking, the fourth son-in-law rushed to say it first, and the third son-in-law was about to speak, but the third lady pushed him, afraid that he would scold the two brothers-in-law again, but the third son-in-law casually said this sentence: People don't know, you push people. Liu Yuanwai saw that the three sons-in-law were a little level in the belly, and they could match the three sons-in-law, Liu Yuanwai began to lead the four sons-in-law to visit the back garden, Liu Yuanwai said: The flowers in the back garden are particularly bright and beautiful, so he took the four daughters and four sons-in-law to enjoy the flowers together, and each flower is really gorgeous and beautiful. The four daughters were happy to see so many beautiful flowers, Liu Yuan led the four sons-in-law to an apple tree, and saw that there were many apples on the apple tree, the branches were luxuriant, and the fruits were abundant, and the branches fell to the ground. It's so delicious, Liu Yuanwai pointed to the apple tree and said to the four sons-in-law: Look at the face of the apple on the tree, why is it red?What about a green side?The eldest son-in-law said, "This is because the sun shines." The second son-in-law said: The yang face is red, and the fourth son-in-law said: The yin side is green, and the old father-in-law Liu Yuanwai turned to the third son-in-law and askedDo you see if the three of them are right?The third son-in-law said, "It's nonsense, the radish grows in the ground, but when it is pulled out, it is all red skin, and there is no sun. After the three sons-in-law finished speaking, the old man and the three sons-in-law were speechless. As a result, the three sons-in-law answered each other fluently, and they all lost to them. Liu Yuanwai saw that the third son-in-law was not a simple person, and this poor boy had a few toothbrushes. Liu Yuanwai took the four sons-in-law back to the hall to drink tea, and Liu Yuanwai began to ask about the situation of the third son-in-law while drinking tea: What do you usually do at home?Have you read a book?The third son-in-law, Zhao Guisheng, told Liu Yuanwai and said: Father-in-law, I farm during the day, learn to study Xi at night, and prepare to take the top prizeLiu Yuanwai put his mentality right this time, and he didn't dare to underestimate the third son-in-law anymore, Liu Yuanwai said: If you want to take the top prize, then you have to study hard and Xi hard after you go home, and you can't delay learning Xi take the top prize, I will give you money for the travel expenses and food and drink expenses for the exam, and you will be responsible for the exam, from now on you will not go back to farm, study hard and prepare for Xi the exam, my third daughter can not keep up with you to suffer for a lifetime, suffer a lifetime of sin, I will arrange for you to farm for you, the third lady listened to her father's words, she was so happy that she burst into tears, and hurriedly pulled Zhao Guisheng to kneel down and kowtow to her father, thank you for her father's great kindness, The third lady and her husband kowtowed to their father three times, expressing their gratitude to their father for taking care of and loving him, Liu Yuanwai was also very happy, Liu Yuanwai happily said: When I am old, you two can take good care of it, and then the two of you can not regret it, the third lady hurriedly said: No, father, we will be filial to you, you two old people can rest assured, the two of us will go home first. The third lady and her husband packed up and went home, Liu Yuanwai took a lot of money and clothes, Zhao Guisheng went home and read quietly and happily every day, and when it was time to catch the exam, Zhao Guisheng packed his luggage and went to the exam, and walked on the way to the exam for many days, and finally walked to the Beijing examination room, there were many literati talents in line to enter, Zhao Guisheng queued up and entered the examination room, Zhao Guisheng entered the examination room, and answered the questions attentively. Zhao Guisheng entered the third examination room of the "Four Books" and "Five Classics": the first title: "The way of the university, in the Ming Mingde, in the people, in the end of the best righteousness" The second title: "Neutrality and not relying on the strong, the three titles: "To the people of the world, gather the world's own goods, trade and retreat, each has its own righteousness" It seems that the people who passed the imperial examination all the way and won fame are really the dragon and phoenix among the people, not only familiar with it, it is not enough to read the four books and five classics, but also to apply it to the world. Even if you read more books, you will eventually not be able to get out, but will be detached from reality and become pedantic. Zhao Guisheng was admitted to the top prize and went back in style. Zhao Guisheng rode a tall horse and wore a red robe. Gong and drum noisy returned to his hometown, from then on the third lady is the champion lady, Zhao Guisheng has been honest for the people all his life, and he has been a parent official!The villagers praised him as a Qing official.
