Don't go down if you have a kind [Rebirth]

Xiao Dabao and Lin Yu listened thrillingly in the corner.

It was Xiao Dabao who said with gusto: "What! Is this the man the masked guest said? What's going on? So many twists and turns?"

It was Lin Yu who was thrilled: "Master Wei, it's really Prime Minister Wei! My God, the one two days ago was Xizhou'Zhuge Sword', the dark prime minister Wei Yanliu! Xiao Dabao, we had dinner at the same table with Prime Minister Wei!"

Xiao Dabao also suddenly woke up: "Ah...ah?"

Yes, I had dinner at the same table with Prime Minister Wei... But the dignified Prime Minister carried bamboo baskets up the mountain to pick mushrooms, caught chickens, bled them, plucked their feathers and put them in a pot to stew in one go. After that, they washed the dishes for both of them together, which was a bit like a dream.The cooking skills are also so good.

Xiao Dabao was deeply poisoned by the sage book "A gentleman should not be in the kitchen". He felt that good cooking skills and good looks cannot coexist, and began to think hard about life.

Xiao Dabao never forgets Mr. Guai's chicken stew with mushrooms, but Mr. Guai is still not interested in eating.

After seeing off the guest Changjun, he didn't bother to move.Burn out the oil lamp, facing the half-window bright moon, sit quietly with tea and books to pass the time.

Sitting in the middle of the night, I was really upset. I drew some ink on the paper and picked up a brush to draw a small portrait of the deceased wife - she married Song Lang's sister, a relative whom the emperor had personally ordered.

It's a pity that Miss Song's parents and brothers are all gone, and she herself is not very happy in this world. After only four or five years of husband and wife with him, she is eager to "reunite with the family".A young son was left behind, who died of a serious illness when he was three years old.

Apart from being a prosperous official, his other luck seems to be not very good.

After painting a small portrait all night, I started to feel sleepy when it was daylight.Day and night are reversed, and I fall asleep while writing.

At night, when I opened my eyes in a daze, I could only see the surrounding darkness, my ears were buzzing, half of the bamboo window creaked and swayed, the wind and rain blew into the room, and the small stack of drawing paper on the desk was already soaked and soaked. A transparent.

He got up in a hurry to rescue him, but in the end it didn't help. He repeated his sins and was rude, turned off the window and turned on the lamp, laid out a new sheet of paper, lit a stick of incense, and finally stopped.He breathed a sigh of relief and stared at the portrait for a while, suddenly felt that the portrait in the painting was angry.

The unhappiness in Madam's heart was rarely confided to him, most of the time she looked still unruly, still willful, still arrogant and domineering, only occasionally changed her nature to wash her hands and made soup, shyly brought it into the study, as if a different person, gentle and gentle Shudi persuaded: "Mr. Lang, take care of your health. The past is over, and the future will be long. You must add clothes and eat on time."

He suddenly woke up, put on his clothes and took an umbrella, pushed the door out, and ran towards the big dining hall of the academy in the heavy rain.

The students are still taking their exams, the dining hall is clean, and a few gray birds are nodding and pecking at the rice grains on the ground.I don't know the time in the mountains, among the cooks and servants there are gray beards, most of them still remember the "strange student" back then, because they were told by their superiors in advance, and when they saw each other, they didn't dare to talk to each other, they just respectfully offered the food instead.

The gray bird ate until its belly became round, and Mr. Weird was also full, so he thanked him and got up to leave.But unexpectedly, as soon as he stepped out of the threshold, he was bumped back again.

"Oops!" Xiao Dabao was pushed and staggered, and he was knocked dizzy. His heart was full of unknown anger, and he cursed when he couldn't stand still, "Okay! They are all blind! You are relying on dog plague!" Let the pigs get together and splash your grandpa's dirty water together, grandpa is not afraid of you, who is cheating, we have the guts to tell in the official hall!"

"Xiao Dabao!" Lin Yu caught up with the crowd and stopped two groups of students who were about to bite the gamecocks, "Sir! Sir, back off!"

I saw Xiao Dabao using one as a hundred, blushing and spraying thickly towards the opposite side: "I am! Don't dare, grandson!"

The students on the opposite side were completely enraged by this "bah", and they rolled up their sleeves and rushed forward.

Mr. Weird broke the shoulder blades that were almost smashed, frowned and muttered in a low voice: "What's going on?"

The cooks and servants heard it with sharp ears, and hurried forward to stop the students. At this moment, the old master trotted over, gasped, shouted loudly, rushed into the pile of students, and grabbed a bunch of students. Under the wooden corridor, the last one lifted Xiao Dabao by the collar and threw him in front of the portrait of the master in the middle of the dining hall: "Kneel down!"

"I don't kneel!" Xiao Dabao poked his neck, "I didn't cheat! I don't kneel!"

The student in the corridor shouted loudly outside: "Lie! Mr. Liu, we saw someone from his family a few days ago, transporting several large carts of things to the doctor's courtyard. The doctor is in charge of the number of places to study in Beijing. This is not cheating What?"

"You spitting blood! No one has ever been in my house! Please come and confront me, Doctor!"

"Master Liu went out yesterday, Mr. Liu, just go and search the yard of Mr. Liu to find out! The students saw it with their own eyes!"

Mr. Liu was so angry that he was about to blow the lamp and pull out the wax. He rolled his eyes and let the casual boy pat his back for comfort: "Nonsense and nonsense! The doctor is an academic officer appointed by the imperial court. How can you search if you say so, you... you want to Rebel!"

The corridor said again: "If you don't make it clear today, the students don't take the exam tomorrow! It's just a cover to pass the college exam and enter the capital. Money and power are still in power. What's the use of studying!"

"Wait," Mr. Weird came out from behind the cooks, "Well, Master Liu..."

Only then did everyone see the gray man in the green shirt in the corner. Mr. Liu said "Aiya" and was about to kneel on his knees: "Big... sir, sir! You, look at this..."

Mr. Liu is a teacher hired by the courtyard, and has more power than the academic officials who have not registered with the court. When encountering such a thing, he can shrink back - he can't afford to offend him.

Master Wei, who was sulking in the mountains, also lost his temper. After eating a meal in the academy, his mouth softened, and he took the ball smoothly: "Master Liu, don't worry, just say it's my words, and let people go to the university. The master's yard is."

Mrs. Liu should be happy.All the students stared at Mr. Weird blankly and apprehensively.

Lin Yu pressed Xiao Dabao's head and thanked him: "I haven't thanked you yet, my lord."

Xiao Dabao realized later, plopped his bow, and said again: "Sir! Masters are grading papers in the school tonight. Students don't cheat, and they can still pass other people's exams! Please pass the exam papers to the school to have a look!"

Mrs. Liu hurriedly said: "Presumptuous! Do you know who are the adults who are going to read the papers? What kind of article is that? You can also send it to your eyes!"

"It's okay," Master Wei took care of things to the end, and he was idle when he was idle, "pass the paper over, and I'll take a look."

While waiting for the examination papers, Master Wei asked everyone to eat.The students ate all the rice into their noses, and all of them secretly observed Mr. Weird's movements with squinting eyes.

Xiao Dabao became the target of public criticism, and was isolated by his classmates, holding his job bowl and squatting on the porch to feed the graybirds.

Not long after, the people who searched the yard came back first, and sure enough they brought back several large boxes of things, opened them by candlelight, and found that they were full of gold ingots.

Xiao Dabao was dumbfounded, and took out the gold ingot to have a look. It was amazing, and the word "Xiao" of their family was engraved on the bottom!

The students were overjoyed: "See! There is nothing to argue about! Master, he should be kicked out immediately! Report to the government again, so that he will not be able to take the exam in the future!"

Lin Yu was also dumbfounded, and grabbed Xiao Dabao's ear: "What's the matter? When did you come from your family? Didn't you not be allowed to study in Beijing?"

"I, I don't know!" Xiao Dabao was also anxious, and grabbed Master Wei's sleeve, "Sir! I don't know about this! Even if it is sent from my family, it has nothing to do with me! Put all these things Throw it out! Just look at my paper! I'll take the test myself!"

As soon as the words fell, the papers were just sent in.Mr. Wei's sleeves were grabbed by everyone, he couldn't move, he couldn't sit down, so he could only hold a stack of freshly baked examination papers and read them with dim lights.

The exam papers were sealed with the names of the students and transcribed by a special person. After reading it from beginning to end, Mr. Wei felt that the evaluations given by the teachers who marked the papers were fairly pertinent, and he was quite satisfied.

He slowly divided the papers into three parts. According to the emperor's habit, one part should be approved as "nonsense"; according to the regent's words, "it is barely necessary to drag it out and cut it"; When I see it, I must shout, "I copy the homework for me."

He picked and picked again, took out three papers from the third file, and handed them to Master Liu, who asked Liu to open the list.

All the students gathered around to look, only to see that the first volume had torn off the seal: Wu Tong.It was the one who took the lead in shouting in the corridor.Good article.

Volume Two: Lin Yu.Surprised and delighted, Lin Yu restrained himself from jumping up, and went to read the third volume with his heart pounding.

Volume Three: Xiao Tianci.

"Look!" Xiao Tianci jumped up, clapped his hands and laughed, "Did you see it?"

Wu Tong frowned, still not convinced: "How do you know that the article was not written by someone else?"

Lord Wei put down the examination paper: "Xiao Tianci, you memorize your own essays."

Xiao Tianci got angry and asked for a pen and paper. He wrote down the pen while reciting it, and said, "I can recite it, and I can also write it. Take it to check the handwriting on the original scroll, and it's mine too!"

When Master Wei saw this, he knew what was going on, and shook his head and laughed: "Master Liu, you can just ask about Xiao Tianci's article."

Xiao Tianci, a rich second generation who seemed to be full of idiots, actually answered the questions fluently.

Everyone was dumbfounded.Master Liu asked in a daze: "This... my lord, Xiao Tianci's article did enter the top three in the college entrance examination, but the fact that the Xiao family gave the doctor a gift seems to be true, how should the sentence be judged?"

Lord Wei looked far away, and after a moment of silence, he pondered: "How about this, Xiao Tianci doesn't have to take the second half of the college entrance examination tomorrow, because of his literary talent, I'm going back to Beijing this time, and there is a shortage of a copyist in the Hongdu Mansion..."

"My lord?" Liu Fuzi asked in surprise.Although the copyist is a very low-level official, not even an official, he is directly under the Hongdu Mansion after all.

"As for the Xiao family," Master Wei continued, "you can go to the government together with the doctor to confront and question in person. If the two parties really have bribery and bribery, they will be severely punished according to the law and cannot be tolerated."

Although the students were not very sensible, they all seemed to feel that Mr. Wei deliberately favored Xiao Tianci. They hadn't heard of an example of a family member bribing an examinee to make it clear. When they were about to refute, they suddenly saw several people running outside.

Several people handed in a letter and said, "Master, sir, a letter was found!"

The master opened the letter and presented it to Lord Wei, and everyone surrounded him again, holding onto Lord Wei's hand, they saw what was written in the letter: "The dog is stupid, I hope the master will judge his paper carefully, and score as much as possible."This kid is just a stupid hammer. If he enters Beijing, he will be gnawed to the bone. Parents are most afraid of white-haired people giving away black-haired people. Master must understand.There are still several mines in the family, and the shops and land need to be taken care of by people. The dog inherits the family business, pays taxes, and also serves the country. I hope you will understand...

It's ridiculous.Everyone didn't know whether it was hatred or hatred for a moment, and they were speechless with hatred.

Master Liu asked again: "My lord, how...how should I be sentenced?"

Master Wei was also laughed out of anger, and thought for a while: "Let's do it as usual."

------

It was a farce, and the whole academy was talking about it.

After a few days, the doctor came back and was taken to the government office for interrogation. He heard that he was dismissed and transferred to the neighboring Minzhou Prefecture to support education.The Xiao family was severely fined a huge sum of money, which was used as the local school running fund of Qingzhou Prefecture.

Master Wei later said that besides Xiao Tianci, there could be two more people in his convoy back to Beijing, and asked who would be willing to follow.

Everyone was in a cloud of confusion. On the one hand, they were surprised that there were parents who paid the examiner to remove their children and grandchildren from the list, and on the other hand, they were confused by the verdict of the government—does this also require dismissal and a fine?He was even more unpredictable about the three seats in Master Wei's motorcade back to Beijing.

After the government restored the eight states, it recruited talents in a variety of ways. In addition to the previous Changke and Enke exams, it began to allocate funds to support local academies. In the past few years, academies of all sizes have sprung up like mushrooms after rain.At the beginning of this year, the government sent people down to inspect the situation of the schools, and found that there were many birds in the woods, so they planned to start a serious adjustment, to help the good and eliminate the bad, and to classify the academies into high and low levels.Mingshan Academy in Qingzhou Prefecture has a long history and strong teachers. It is the best academy in the whole prefecture. Now it is privately owned and state-owned. Famous people have the opportunity to be recommended to the most powerful academy in the country - Jingxue.After entering the Beijing Academy, not only can you directly participate in the scientific examination, but you may also be directly appointed to an official position without passing the scientific examination.It can be said to be a glorious and magnanimous road to the sky.

In comparison, following Lord Wei to Hongdu Mansion as a small copyist, it seemed a bit eccentric.The other students who have already won the first place in the college entrance examination still don't know which green onion the "adult" is.

So until the eve of the departure of the motorcade back to Beijing, only two smart ghosts in such a big academy submitted applications to Mr. Wei to accompany them.One is Lin Yu, the second-generation elite official, and the other is Wu Tong, a poor top student who has long admired Hongdu Mansion's reputation.The two clever ghosts and Xiao Tianci, who was deprived of the right to choose, finished packing their luggage under the eyes of the students who were either surprised or envious, or disdainful or jealous. Carrying a small bundle on his back, he went to lay the floor in Mr. Wei's small yard.

Wu Tong couldn't help apologizing, and was still awkward and sympathetic to Xiao Tianci, but Xiao Tianci didn't realize it. Great changes, the road ahead is uncertain, and we need to make room for other things.Classmate Lin Yu was caught in the middle, and after coaxing one and the other, he had to observe the expression of the Prime Minister—after all, the official career was in the hands of the adults, and if the Prime Minister was dissatisfied, he sent them back. how to mix.

Mr. Wei was unfathomable and sneaked at the three bastards. You scratch me and I bite you. He was repeatedly caught by Lin Yu who also sneaked over. He said embarrassedly: "Don't worry. First, don't guess what I am. Who, my surname is Wei, and I have a single name of Pei. There is nothing I can’t say. Second, although the official position of Hongdu Mansion is small, it can be involved in confidentiality and has a heavy responsibility. Officials, at that time the top three in the palace examination, so they took this position more often. Today, people don’t know it, and they think it is condescending. Third, following me does not mean that you have to listen to me in the future. , including Xiao Tianci, you can still take the exam, if you focus on looking at my face, you won't care about other things."

The three people's minds were probed, and they all lowered their heads in shame.

Xiao Tianci not only lowered his head, but also blushed the most, from the strands of his hair to his heels, he was trying his best to perform the meaning of "wanting to drill into the ground".

Lord Wei smiled, and said again: "Fourth, you are confused about the government's judgment regarding the Xiao family's bribery, aren't you? Xiao Tianci, do you feel wronged?"

The three nodded.Xiao Tianci followed closely and shook his head again.

Master Wei sat in front of the desk, slowly packed the pen, ink, paper and inkstone with the oil lamp, looked at the blue twilight outside the window, paused every word, and said solemnly: "It's fine if you don't feel wronged. If you feel wronged, you can still choose now, but If you don't follow me, I'm afraid you will miss the officialdom in this life. Everyone has his own ambitions. This world doesn't have room for people who "live alone", but people who "help the world" are more needed in this world. If you have this heart, Since I have brought you into the court, I will ensure that you have a place to stay and a chance to stretch your ambitions."

He paused, lowered his eyes slightly, and added: "I am responsible for paving the way. What you have to do is to remember the thoughts and thoughts in your heart when you stand here today. The future will last forever, and you can't forget it for a moment."

------

For these words, the three students tossed and turned all night, excited and sleepless.

Lying on the floor, looking up, he saw that Mr. Wei in the back room seemed to be asleep.

Master Wei tossed and turned, and those words were all in his ears:

"I'm responsible for paving the way. What you have to do is to remember what you thought in your heart when you opened this door today. The future will be long, and you can't forget it for a moment."

As the saying goes, "The eight-character yamen opens to the south. Don't come in if you have a reason and no money." He suffered a lot back then, and when he found the gate of Dali Temple under the guidance of Song Lang, the servant of the Ministry of Punishment, he didn't expect much.

It just happened that the young Dali Siqing was in a bad mood, and came back from the outside with a gloomy face full of alcohol smell. After hearing him screaming adverbial words, probably because he was drunk and confused for a while, he didn't figure it out. Someone carried him into Dali Temple first.

Xue Siqing is really not a thing, sober up in a few days, and asked him for money: "Stupid scholar, Master said, 'The eight-character yamen opens to the south, don't come in if you have a reason, but do you have money? ?”

"No."

"Without money, why are you suing? You think our yamen looks like a porridge shed?"

"...My lord, I came to the wrong place, you can either kill me or let me go, I'm in a hurry to find another home."

Mr. Xue snorted conceitedly: "Tsk, you are quite temperamental. Poor scholar, open your mung bean eyes and see clearly. The whole territory of eight states is full of dynasties. You are no second in this matter except me. How dare you take care of me personally! Return home? Save your life."

The poor scholar was full of resentment, his body was hurt, and his nose was smoking with anger—poor scholar?What's wrong with being poor?Mung bean eyes?The dog officer blinded his mother's dog eyes!

Do you want money, you want a life, you want me to save it, why save it?You say you dare to take care of it, but you can take care of it if you have the ability!

The dog officer turned his nose and slanted his eyes again, from head to toe, from the inside to the outside, taunting his whole body by citing scriptures, and left him alone.

He was seriously ill in the small class room of Dali Temple, unable to get out of bed, unable to walk, all thoughts were lost, every day he hoped that someone would come to carry him out and throw him away, even if he died on the street, it would be better than dying in this dirty place!

But things backfired, the dog officials and the dog yamen didn't know what bad idea they had, and even sent a doctor to treat him.Okay, let’s cure the disease.After thinking about it, he recalled his short life of less than 20 years from beginning to end, feeling bitter in his mouth and heart.Bitterness is unwillingness, unwillingness is unwillingness.

The illness is finally cured, but the leg injury is still not healed.He looked out of the window and saw the gardeners in the courtyard busy pruning the branches—look, the tree has been cut off, will it stop living after the cut off branches?live.Still alive and growing.Light, wind, water, thousands of feet of yellow spring, ten thousand feet of thunder, can't there be a leaf of green bud?

The manic poor scholar feels that he has suddenly realized everything in his erratic scene that has been less than 20 years in the past and will come to an abrupt end at some point in the future.With the vicissitudes of his life and the unyielding determination, he walked through the Dali Temple, inside and outside, full of lush pines and cypresses, stepping on a knife step by step, and knocked on Xue Gouguan's door with pain in his heart .

Xue Gouguan had expected it a long time ago. He was sitting in front of the desk and flipping through the examination papers he did in the foreign country examination. Money buys your reason."

The poor scholar was born to beg for help, but he still couldn't say the words of begging for help. He inspected himself from head to toe, and knew that he was dead. He didn't even have a bribe or gift that he could offer. I am willing to call the shots to review this case, even if I kill people and set fire to them, I can do whatever I want the grassroots to do."

Xue Gouguan raised his eyebrows and sized him up. He probably didn't think about assigning him a murder and arson job for a while, but he lost his mind after thinking about it, and then left him alone, drinking tea and playing with birds. up.

Until the poor scholar's irritable temper was about to come up again, and he was about to blow his eyebrows and stare, Xue Gouguan's expression quietly became serious at some point.

Xue Gouguan pinched a bird feather from the back of Black Starling's buttocks, and slowly turned around amidst the scolding of "Bastard!", "Stupid boy!", "Trash!" The next door has ears, and whispered: "Murder and arson, I won't be able to use you for a while. Scholar, this case has been taken care of by me. I'm responsible for paving the way. What you have to do is to remember to push away this case today." When I was in Daoism, what I thought in my heart. The future will be long, and I will never forget it for a moment."

------

The future is long, and the future is long.

The four characters are like a prophecy, like a curse, like a tarsus maggot.

Master Wei sat up in shock, and quietly opened the window to light an oil lamp in the chaotic night.The dark mountain shadow outside the window is like a dormant monster, peeking at it, as if it will jump up at any time and pounce on it.

How come you have so many dreams all of a sudden?He counted the time with his fingers, oh, it's time.

Ten years of life and death.The souls of the dead come and go, and there is never a lack of time.

He glanced outside, afraid of waking up the students on the ground, he took out the pen, ink, paper and inkstone from the bundle he had just packed, and whispered to the air, "I'm sorry, I forgot. Leaving Beijing I was away, and I didn’t prepare a funeral ceremony. There are many things in the middle of the court this year, and it’s not convenient to tell you all about them at the moment, and I’ll write to you when I go back.”

After a pause, he continued: "Also, Pei Jin took my lord's warning to heart and never dared to forget it for a moment... I will never forget it again. I will return to Beijing tomorrow, so don't worry, my lord."

The three sneak peeking students couldn't quite hear what Master Wei was muttering, and stared at Master Wei as he worked his pen under the lamp with sharp eyes.It wasn't until Mr. Wei put down his pen and sat quietly for a while, and when he picked up the small piece of paper and sent it to the flame of the oil lamp, that he could barely make out half a line of handwriting: "You buried the spring to sell the bones, I sent..."

What do I send?

Burnt, can't see clearly.

The three young scholars on the floor looked at each other in blank dismay.After searching his stomach and memorizing the book for a long time, Wu Tong was suddenly blessed, and got a good opportunity to turn his fight with Xiao Dabao into a treasure—the young man wrote quietly on the back of another young man:

"The world is full of snow."

I send the world to the world full of snow.
