After time travel, he devoted himself to helping his father with his career.

Chapter 1 Framing attempt failed

In a farmyard in Tianjia Village, Qingyun County, Qingzhou, the yard is full of people and lively at the moment. In the east wing, five or six young men dressed as scholars in blue shirts and long robes were following the two old men to visit the study.

A girl poked her head in at the door. She looked timid and curious, but her big eyes shone with caution and inquiry.

She wanted to see what this bad guy wanted to do? Is it his own plan, or does he have other partners?

It turns out that today is a banquet hosted by the village for Xiao Qingshan, the male owner of the family, to be admitted to the imperial examination. Xiao Qingshan also invited teachers from the college and several classmates with good relationships.

A total of four classmates came today, two of them were his dormitory roommate Yang Yong Liu Cheng in college, and one of them was his coworker Sun Juan.

As for the last one, if Xiao Qingshan had a thicker skin, he could probably say that this was his senior brother Xie Jin. However, Xiao Qingshan didn't dare. He felt in his heart that he was not worthy.

This year, there are only three people in the county who have passed the examination. One is Zhou Tuo, the son of Zhou Dashan family. I heard that he has been studying in the academy in Zhoucheng since his enlightenment and is not familiar with the students in this county. The remaining two are Xie Jin and Xiao Qingshan.

Just now, everyone was sitting in the main room chatting, waiting for the dinner to start. Suddenly Yang Yong wanted to visit Xiao Qingshan's study. The main room was quiet for a moment. In the eyes of scholars, study rooms are very private and they would not easily invite outsiders to visit their study rooms.

Yang Yong's fingers on the teacup turned a little white due to nervousness and unconscious exertion, but he had already spoken and there was no room to look back.

Yang Yong's shoulders suddenly sank, his back straightened a little, and he said: "I have shared a dormitory with Qingshan for many years. I have often heard Qingshan mention his study room. I have always been curious about it. Today, I have a rare opportunity, so I couldn't help but mention it. Qingshan, am I being a little presumptuous?"

Xiao Qingshan was stunned for a moment, then smiled and said: "What's so presumptuous? We have lived together for so many years. There is no study room in the farmhouse. It is just a room with a few books.

Are Master Song and Mr. Xie interested in going there together? "The two old men sitting on the left and right of the main seat looked at each other and were somewhat interested in each other.

When Xiao Qingshan saw it, he stood up first and said as he walked: If any of my classmates are interested, they can come along. Walk to the door and stand on one side: Please!

The furnishings in the study are actually very simple, a desk, and behind it is a bookshelf that looks to be made of rich materials and very strong. The study room is clearly visible at a glance, and if anything is different, the desk is very large, comparable to the long table in the academy where they have classes.

There was a set of pens, ink, paper and inkstones placed at each end. The old man walked over and saw that the writing brushes placed on the desk on the east side were smaller and seemed to be used for tracing red when children were just learning to write. There was a book of surnames of hundreds of families placed next to it.

A half-drawn copybook is placed on the table. The paper is clean. Although the drawing is red, it can be seen that the child's writing is immature, but he is a calm child. Every stroke is taken seriously, which shows that he is a careful and studious child.

Xiao Qingshan has a son and a daughter. The eldest son is already enlightened at the age of 6. There were too many guests today, so he was responsible for taking care of his 3-year-old sister, who was probably playing in the yard.

Xie Boyu glanced at the painting for a few times, then looked at Xiao Qingshan with a smile: "Qingshan, your boy is a good student! He is good at being able to practice calligraphy calmly at such a young age!"

After speaking, he walked to the other end of the desk. The table on the other end was very clean. Apart from the pen and ink, there was only a copy of "Annotations on Chapters and Sentences of the Four Books" (edited by Zhu Xi of the Song Dynasty, which can be said to be the official imperial examination textbook in ancient times).

There are several books on the bookshelf, such as "The Great Learning", "The Analects of Confucius" and "The Book of Songs", which are must-reads for scholars. At first glance, it is Xiao Qingyun's own handwritten copy, a square bamboo box, and nothing else.

Everyone sighed inwardly that this study was too simple. Only Xie Jin glanced at the desk quickly, his eyes a little flustered and even a little frightened.

Suddenly I saw the box on the bookshelf. I reached out and opened the box without having time to think about it. I put my hand in and grabbed some papers with writing on them. I felt relieved and couldn't help laughing, and I grabbed it out.

The sudden sound made everyone look over. Xie Jin's raised corners of his mouth froze for a moment before he could close them.

He tightened his fingers and gripped the paper hard, as if the thin pieces of paper in the box could give him strength. Several pieces of paper were placed on the desk. Everyone looked at them and found that they were large letters.

Judging from the writing style, it should be that of Xiao Qingshan's eldest son. The top one is the best, and the following ones should be from the first practice. Xie Jin stared at the big words carefully, and the corners of his mouth were pursed too hard, causing the muscles in his face to tremble.

Suddenly the atmosphere was a little strange. Xiao Qingshan scratched his head and the tips of his ears turned red, and said embarrassedly: "This is the calligraphy practiced by Quanzi. I didn't come back often in the academy before, and I was afraid of missing his growth, so every time I came back from vacation, I would make a fuss. The best one he’s written recently is put away.”

The ancients often said that there will be some distance between father and son if they embrace grandchildren but not sons. There are very few people who express their concern for their sons and their fatherly love as directly as Xiao Qingshan.

Xie Boyu looked at the big words with a hint of emotion in his eyes. He hid it very well. The moment he raised his head, he put all his emotions back. He raised his hand to touch his beard and said with a smile:

"I didn't expect Qingshan to be a loving father. Now that the provincial examination is over, you can spend more time with the children. Huh? Is there going to be a banquet now?" After saying that, he turned around and left the study and went straight to the main room.

The others quickly followed Xie Boyu and left. Yang Yong looked back at Xie Jin with doubts in his eyes, but he didn't dare to stay any longer and didn't dare to ask anything. He trotted two steps to follow.

Xie Jin was standing stiffly in front of the table at this moment. Others may not have seen it, but Xie Jin saw it. His mentor Xie Boyu glanced at him when he turned around just now, with a warning in his eyes.

Xie Jin was terrified: "It's over, it's over, the teacher found it. No, nothing was found here, I didn't do anything!"

Xie Jin closed her eyes, took a deep breath, and relaxed. She smiled and stretched out her hand to smooth out the wrinkles on the paper that he had scratched.

He lifted his legs and walked out of the study. I saw a little girl squatting at the door of the study, playing with a few small sandbags. The little girl was probably only 3-4 years old. She must be Xiao Qingshan's daughter.

Looking at Xie Jin's walking back, the little girl stopped playing with the sandbags and fell into deep thought.

She just saw that there were two people making eye contact with Xie Jin. One was her father's teacher Xie Boyu, and the other was her father's roommate Yang Yong.

Therefore, the bad guys have partners, but I don’t know if they are one or two.
