happy rebirth

The entire capital is shrouded in an atmosphere of political correctness.

On the surface, all the officials from the emperor to the traffickers and pawns must agree with the view that "Chunyangmen is a bunch of clowns who are nothing to worry about"; however, the emperor actually dislikes the existence of this force very much.Therefore, martial law has begun in the entire capital.The number of people patrolling the streets has increased, and the checks on entering and leaving the city have also become stricter. From time to time, small officials will go to each house to check whether suspicious persons are harbored.

In just a few days, the government arrested many people.But it is not known how many of them are actually from the Chunyang Sect.

The court's attitude is very obvious, it would rather kill a hundred by mistake than let one go.

Ke Qi hasn't been out of the mansion these days, but he can also smell the increasingly jittery smell in the air.

Ask the grass garden.

As Ke Qi's teacher and someone introduced by Xie Chunying, Jida has always been respected in Wencao Garden.Although the servants think that this gentleman has a very weird temper, what does it matter to them?If the husband likes to nest in the small courtyard and does not go out, let him nest; if the husband likes to change the garden into a vegetable field, then let him change it; if the husband likes to wear linen straw sandals, then let him wear it... These are all Mr Freedom.

Because Xie Jinhua was going to prepare for the imperial examination, he and Ke Qi had lived back in Qingyang Hou's mansion since the end of last year, and had never been back to Wencaoyuan until now, so only Jida could barely be regarded as the master in Wencaoyuan One, although Jida has never regarded himself as the master.

Ke Qi once thought about bringing Jida to Weizhen Pavilion to celebrate the New Year together, but Jida shook his head and refused.Both Xie Jinhua and Ke Qi guessed that Jida had suffered a lot during the regime change, but they didn't ask if Jida didn't mention it.Jida doesn't want to join in the fun, so they never do things that are difficult for others.

Q The grass garden is very quiet, and Jida seems to be very satisfied with his current life.

However, Jida sometimes goes out for a walk.Every time he goes out, he will take the little angelica with him.This Angelica is a servant of the Hou Mansion, who has been loyal to the Hou Mansion for generations, and the loyalty of the whole family can be guaranteed.Angelica is already eleven or twelve years old, she looks fair and clean, and looks very clever and pleasing.

Jida likes to enjoy the scenery.

Wencao Garden is close to Honglin Mountain, and there are many elegant collections on Honglin Mountain.

Some gatherings are open-air, and anyone is eligible to participate.When Jida took Angelica to see the scenery, sometimes when he came across Yaji, he would stop to listen to other people's high-spirited speeches.If someone noticed him, he said that he was just a countryman who couldn't understand anything, so naturally he didn't have any good ideas.

There is also Honglin Town at the foot of Honglin Mountain.This town was born according to Yaji.When literati come to participate in the gathering, they can't return on the same day, can they?They had to find a place to live for a few days, and they had to find a place to eat and drink.Honglin Town is not big, and the only few families in the town are engaged in literati business.

Jida sometimes rests in the town tavern.He doesn't drink, but fortunately the tavern also provides tea.You can drink a bowl of hot tea made with tea leaves for a big buck or two. If the guests are willing to spend one or two taels of silver, there are also a variety of well-known teas in the shop for you to choose from.

In the tavern, there are often literati who talk about it.Jida will not be involved.After drinking tea and resting, he took the angelica and went back.

In short, although Jida will go out, he never communicates with strangers.

Dang Gui has figured out all about Jida's habits.Ji Da usually doesn't leave anyone around to serve him, but when he goes out, Dang Gui will definitely follow him.On this day, Jida suddenly wanted to go out for a walk again.Dang Gui knew that Jida didn't bring money when he went out, so naturally he had to help his master carry it as a servant.

The itinerary was the same as the previous trips. They first drove to Honglin Mountain in a carriage, and then walked around to see the scenery. Then Jida entered the tavern in Honglin Town and ordered a pot of Biluochun. I ordered a plate of peanuts and melon seeds, so that Dang Gui would not be bored sitting around.

Wherever literati gather, there are always some high-spirited and eloquent people.

It's just that compared to the enthusiasm in the past, everyone deliberately lowered their voices today, obviously affected by the martial law in Beijing.Jida needed to concentrate, so that he could barely hear the words "arson", "former dynasty", "today's sages" from the mouths of the people behind him.

Jida sneered in his heart, but there was no wave on his face.

Biluochun soon came up.Jida picked up the teacup, lifted the lid and blew on it.The tea cover was not fully lifted, facing Jida at a 45-degree angle, so only Jida could see three pieces of tea leaves adhering to the inner side of the tea cover.

Stop, stop, and rest.

Jida's expression remained unchanged, he took a sip of tea naturally, and then put the lid back on.

No matter how clever Dang Gui was, she didn't notice anything at this moment.

Jida put the cup of tea back on the table calmly.In the process of putting it in, his hand shook slightly, and the tea in the teacup immediately stirred up. Although no water spilled out, the tea leaves inside the lid must have been sucked into the tea, so there were no traces.

A bunch of idiots!

Ji Da thought so in his heart.

He clearly told them to be careful, but he still pretended to be smart and thought that he could find Li Shi's bad luck by relying on fire!These people deserved to be exposed!Jida didn't feel sorry for them at all, he only regretted that those strongholds that were forced to abandon were ruined for many years.

Jida has great talent and general strategy.He knew that restoring the former dynasty was a joke; he knew that Emperor Li was a wise man to the common people.But what about the hundreds of lives of the Fu family?Does the Fu family deserve to die?If it weren't for the desire to avenge his family, Jida probably wouldn't be able to survive now.

Jida's surname is Fu.As the only surviving member of the Fu family, he hated the Li family who caused all this, but he also hated the Yan family who had ruined the country.The Li family was cruel and the Yan family was fatuous. Ji Da attributed the ruin of the Fu family to them.People in Chunyangmen regard Ji Da as a think tank, but they don't know that Ji Da only wants to take revenge on the Li family, and he has no interest in recovering the Yan family.Jida is just using Chunyang Gate.

In the end, Chunyangmen was so stupid that Ji Da couldn't handle it.

It would be fine if the fire really started to burn, if Li Shi was not happy, he would be happy, but nothing was done!

Jida laughs wantonly at Chunyangmen in his heart.

However, there was another voice deep in his heart that refuted Jida.

Good thing, good thing that fire never went up.

For a long time, Ji Da, as the elusive "mister" of Chunyangmen, only gave advice to Chunyangmen when the "keeper" asked for it. He was actually detached from Chunyangmen.Except for the sect master, everyone in Chunyang Sect only knows about the existence of "Mister", but they have never seen him.

Because of this, although Jida already knew that the Chunyang Gate was about to move, according to his instigation to the gate master, he thought that the Chunyang Gate would mobilize all the chess pieces in the palace wall to assassinate the emperor or the prince, but he did not expect them In the end, he chose to burn the examination room!

A wise man does not count against the desperate gambles of the hopeless.

Almost... almost the child was going to die in the fire.

But what does that have to do with me?Jida suppressed the joy in his heart, and countless mean thoughts immediately appeared in his mind.Although Xie Jinhua's blood is flowing from the Fu family, Ji Da will never admit that he is from the Fu family!In the previous dynasty, a daughter of the Fu family entered the palace as a concubine, and this concubine gave birth to a daughter, named Princess Jingyan.She is the younger sister of the last emperor.When the Yan Dynasty was broken, the palace where Princess Jingyan lived caught fire, but Ji Da knew that she was not dead.

Not only did she not die, she also gave birth to a son after leaving the palace.

Xie Chunying thought she could hide it from everyone in the world, but she couldn't hide it from Ji Da, who had known him since childhood.What's more, Jida is also a young talent, and because of Princess Jingyan, the last emperor regards the Fu family boy as his nephew.Therefore, Jida was also a frequent visitor to the palace.

Jida picked up Biluochun and took another sip.

It's good that Chunyang Sect has been exposed, many members of the sect know that the sect master is useless, and from that day on, the decision-making in the sect will depend on the master even more.And if the entire Chunyang Gate can be used by Ji Da, it will take at most three years, and he will carefully arrange it so that Emperor Kairui can taste the pain of losing a loved one.

After Danggui finished eating the peanuts and melon seeds, Jida thoughtfully said, "Let's go, it's time to go back."

Angelica said happily: "Yes, sir!"

The four county examinations continued until March.During this process, the marriage between the Liu family and the An family was settled.At the time of the engagement, Xie Jinhua was still taking exams, and Ke Qi went to Liu's house alone.The specific wedding date of Liu Yuan and An Xueyou is set in July.This day is particularly good.Ke Qi was born in June, and was able to bring Xie Jinhua to the wedding in July.And Xueyou An will take the scientific examination in August, and getting married in July will not delay his studies.

The results came out in mid-March, and Xie Jinhua was well-deserved as the county's top case, with one-third of the small three-yuan achievement achieved.

There are county case chiefs every year, and every year there will be dozens of county case chiefs all over the country. If the Qingyang Hou Mansion celebrates wildly, it will appear that they are crazy.Therefore, only a small banquet was set up in the mansion.Several of Xie Jinhua's friends, including Prince De's son, all gave him congratulatory gifts.

After the county test, it's time to prepare for the government test in April.

Xie Jinhua is much more free than Yu Zhi who is locked at home and reads a book. After more than half a year of preparation, the first issue of "Qiu Lin Wen Bao" is finally going to be released!In the first issue, articles by Mr. Mu and three other great Confucians were printed, and the momentum was very strong in the early stage, and the literati were already looking forward to it.

Xie Jinhua, as the editor-in-chief, encountered difficulties in signing his own name.He hasn't taken the characters yet, but even if he did, if he used the characters or his real name directly, his name would be crowded with the names of a bunch of great Confucians, and he felt a little lacking in confidence.He just wanted to make an alias for himself.

"Your real name is you, isn't your alias also yours?" Ke Qi, as a bad namer, really can't think of any alias that is particularly suitable for Xie Jinhua.

Xie Jinhua shook his head and said: "It's not the same... If I use my real name, they will know who I am, they will underestimate my age, and they will question the authority of the newspaper. But if I use another name, even though the other name It's very strange, but they will guess that it should be taken by some great scholar. Even if they want to find out who I am, they won't really focus on me. Wait until I have achieved something in the future, and then expose my identity. It will be much easier for people to accept his identity." The only people who knew that Xie Jinhua was the editor-in-chief of Wenbao were Mu Lao, Gongsun Shanzhang and others, and they naturally wouldn't talk too much.

Ke Qi lowered his head and thought for a while, then said: "Actually, the nickname 'Banshan Layman' is very good, but the only one who can call himself a Banshan Layman is the head of the mountain, right?"

In the same way, nicknames such as Honglin Jushi and Qiulin Jushi can no longer be used.

Xie Jinhua was also very distressed.

"If you are not afraid of being regarded as a woman, you can call yourself the Ke Xie family. Oh, and Mrs. Ke's family..." Ke Qi couldn't help but joked.

Xie Jinhua glared at Ke Qi and said, "Be serious, this is business!"

"Why isn't the Ke Xie family serious?" Ke Qi muttered, "It can't be more serious. Use your name as my surname, or just call me Ke Hua. People can't find out who Ke Hua is. , I naturally know that this is a pseudonym. When I need to take a pseudonym, my name will be Xie Qi."

The more Ke Qi thought about it, the more he thought it was a good idea.

Xie Jinhua thought about it carefully, then shook his head, and said: "Nowadays, many people know that I am the last disciple of my husband. Even if they haven't met me, they have heard of my name. They know my surname is Xie, and they know my husband ...My husband's surname is Ke. This pseudonym is too easy to think of on my head."

Although it is said that men can form a contract, this kind of situation is rare among high-ranking officials.Even if someone only likes men, it doesn't delay the elders to marry them a wife and put it at home.On the contrary, poor people can't find a wife, and there are more cases of contract formation.But poor people don't pay attention to it, and after the contract is concluded, they will confuse "my wife" and "my husband".Xie Jinhua, however, knows another way of saying lingering, those who form a bond can call each other lovers.

Since you are my beloved, you will know that I love you deeply.

Xie Jinhua only felt that his face was hot.

Ke Qi reached out and touched Xie Jinhua's forehead, and asked with concern: "Why are you blushing? Are you catching a cold?"

--------

"Ke Di really cares about me."

"Yeah, too, close, heart, me."
