第十章长安捷报状元郎金陵锦衣归故里(3/8)

                                                                                                                                      文英立时备下一副盛礼，以酬当时作合之恩。那礼单上写道：谨具寿币肆端鲜鱼肆尾寿烛一对寿仙一座鲜肉二方寿面一盘生鹅一对寿糕一盘生羊二只生鸡四只寿桃一盘春酒二壶奉申祝敬门生庞国俊顿首拜到了初三，文英将礼帖交与从者，坐了大轿往见宗师。文英一至，宗师当堂相见。文英即将视帖递上，宗师展开细看，殷殷致谢。便把寿币寿仙寿酒收了，余皆返璧。
                                                                                                                                                                文英抽身告别。回到门首，只见张子将的轿也到了，文英邀入坐下。
                                                                                                                                                                张子将道：“年兄何来？”
                                                                                                                                                                文英道：“特去拜王宗师生日，不期兄来赐顾，刚刚相遇。”
                                                                                                                                                                张子将道：“如今已是十月外，我辈同年起身会试者，足足去了一半。小弟拣定十五起程，年兄可整束行装与弟偕往，不可迟延。”
                                                                                                                                                                文英道：“月半边，再捱不去了，领教！领教！”
                                                                                                                                                                及送子将出门去，便与小姐言之，竟接母亲一同居住。惟候十五日下舡。收拾衣服铺盖，带了二百金盘费，三个僮仆。
                                                                                                                                                                到了十四晚，夫人备酒款待。明早把行李先发下船，自己别了母亲并夫人，文英与小姐依恋不舍，只得挥泪而别。幸有子将同行颇不寂寞，出了南京，一路上便勤心读书，将有两个月才到都门，赁下寓所，子将、文英互相砥砺。只听得前后左右皆是吟诵之声，愈加兴高。
                                                                                                                                                                到了二月十五日，三场已过，文英闱卷又做得清新可爱。
