Reborn you are not worthy

Jiang Mengyaoyuan was full of confidence, she went to Xu Xi to talk about it, but she was ridiculed by him instead.

After returning home in a hurry, she decided not to give up, and went directly to Gu Ping to explain clearly and analyze the pros and cons for him.

Although Xunmengtang's business has been losing money this year, but in the past few years, after all, a single family has come here, and her background is still there.

If Gu Ping'an wants to go to the officialdom, it is necessary to manage up and down. She has money, and Gu Ping'an has talent. If he is really a smart person, he should understand that the cooperation between the two is definitely a good idea.

Thinking of this, Jiang Mengyao habitually went to look through her treasure box, only to be surprised to find that more than half of the things inside were missing, including the most important fragrance and the house deed of Xunmengtang.

Jiang Mengyao immediately summoned all the servants and tortured them one by one.

In the end, two servants stated that when she was not at home, they only saw Jiang Jiabao go into her bedroom alone.

Jiang Mengyao felt bad at the time, and immediately arranged for someone to bring him back.

After Jiang Jiabao's mansion failed in the examination in April, she brought Jiang Jiabao to the county seat and taught him the affairs by hand, hoping that he would become familiar with the family's property as soon as possible so that he could stand up in the future.

However, things didn't go as expected, Xunmengtang's business was seized by Sandalwood Workshop, and it was getting worse day by day. She had to focus on making incense, so she handed Jiang Jiabao over to the big shopkeeper to take care of her.

Thinking about it so carefully, she hadn't looked at Jiang Jiabao seriously for almost a month.

……

About an hour later, Jiang Jiabao was finally found by his servants.

It's just that although the person is back, where is the heart flying?

Jiang Mengyao looked at this thin, cloudy-eyed, crazy person, she was so shocked that she couldn't speak, she couldn't believe that this was her well-behaved brother

She stepped forward and slapped Chunfu, Jiang Jiabao's close servant, and then yelled at everyone in the room, "What's going on, how do you take care of the young master?"

The servants and maids immediately fell to their knees, tears streaming down their faces, shouting for forgiveness, but they couldn't even utter a complete sentence for a long time.

This chaotic sound was like a flock of ducks quacking.

Jiang Mengyao's anger became more and more irresistible, she supported her forehead with a headache, staggered back a few steps, and sat down on the chair.

After a long while, he waved his hand at them and said in a cold voice, "Okay, I'll ask one question, and you answer another one. Who dares to talk nonsense, the man will be killed, and the woman will be sold into a brothel."

"Yes, yes..." A group of people knelt on the ground, knocking their heads loudly.

Jiang Jiabao was sitting on a chair with disheveled clothes and extremely indecent appearance. Seeing their appearance, he suddenly clapped his hands and laughed loudly, "The little monster pays homage to the old hag, haha, greets the old hag..."

When the servant saw this, he panicked, and hurriedly pulled up his clothes, but he slapped him hard, and kept yelling, "It's hot, it's hot, it's so hot..."

Seeing this, Jiang Mengyao closed her eyes and almost shed tears.

She still doesn't understand what's going on, it's already September, and the autumnal equinox has passed.

The so-called fire in July, clothes in September, it will be winter soon, Jiang Jiabao is only wearing a thin shirt now, but he is still screaming for heat, combined with his delirious and thin appearance, In the end, there is only one explanation for everything.

She turned her head to look at Chunfu, Jiang Jiabao's close servant who was kneeling on the ground, trembling, her voice seemed to be tinged with ice, "He's gone after eating cold food, didn't he, when did it start?"

Chunfu's body trembled more and more, and he dared not raise his head to speak.

"I asked you, how dare you not answer?" Jiang Mengyao was furious, and kicked him in the side of the face, forcing him to look up.

"Yes... yes, since... last winter solstice, after returning from the village..."

Jiang Mengyao was even angrier, and kicked him aside, "Last year, it started from last year, how dare you hide it from me for so long?"

"I wanted to tell you at the beginning, but Master Bao said, if I dared to tell you, he would let you beat me to death?"

Jiang Mengyao picked up the teacup in hand and threw it straight at him, "If he said he would kill him, he would kill him. Do you listen to him or mine? Who is in charge of this family?"

"Of course you make the decision, young one, young one... But Master Bao said that you love him so much, you listen to him and do everything for him. He also mentioned the example of the daughter of the Li family and Gu Ping'an, saying Now you just beat me to death as a little servant, you will definitely agree, this... This villain really dare not!"

Jiang Mengyao's face was even uglier, but she didn't know whether it was because of Qi Chunfu's failure to report it, or because of Jiang Jiabao's arbitrariness in showing off these embarrassing things?

She took a few deep breaths, and said slowly, "Where did it happen, why don't I know, there is still a place where people gather to suck this dirty thing in Nanling County?"

Chunfu said, "Locust tree...Locust tree alley..."

Jiang Mengyao's eyes flickered slightly, Huaishu Alley is a place where the low class of prostitutes gather.

But Jiang Jiabao should have money on him, why would he want to go to that kind of dirty place, even if he wants to be happy, he should go to the brothel?

"How did he find a place like that?"

"Yes...it's Mrs. Li."

"Who is Mrs. Li?"

That Chun Fu looked up at her, and said tremblingly, "You don't remember, Mrs. Li used to come to our shop often, but she had a misunderstanding with the young master the year before last..."

Only then did Jiang Mengyao remember, and her eyes suddenly widened, "It's her, but isn't she arranged by the family to marry?"

"She is married, but because of that incident at that time, her reputation has been ruined, so she can only marry an older yamen servant. When the yamen servant was catching a thief at the end of last year, he accidentally fell from the roof and broke his leg. , was resigned by the yamen, and the family lost their livelihood and needed medical treatment, so he forced Mrs. Li to receive customers and subsidize privately..."

Jiang Mengyao sneered.

The family background of the Li family is not bad, and Mrs. Li grew up with a lot of love and affection, but she didn't expect that the rest of her life would be so low and low?

"So, Jiabao got the infection from her?"

Chunfu nodded.

"Ms. Li's husband's leg hurts. Eating this will make him feel better. The young master also ate it once after seeing him. He found that his memory will improve after eating, and he will learn essays faster, so..."

Jiang Mengyao glanced at him with a sneer, reading faster, listening to his nonsense, if it is true that reading faster, how come the countdown in the living county test, and the government test is not even ranked?

She continued to ask, "You said it started last winter, so why didn't I realize that I kept a close eye on him during the beginning of the year, and besides, he also took the county and government exams?"

Chunfu's voice shrank, "At first, the young master only went once every ten days and half a month, so there was no hindrance. Since the young master failed the exam in April Mansion, the young master was in a bad mood, so he went every three or four days or every other day. Now ...now almost every day!"

Jiang Mengyao asked him again, "So, Jiabao didn't have enough money, so he came to steal from me. Do you know where he took my house deed and prescription?"

Chunfu hastily kowtowed his head, "This... this villain really doesn't know, every time the young master buys fairy powder, he doesn't let the villain approach, the villain always sits at the entrance of the alley, and when the time comes go call him!

"Shenxian San? What a Shenxian San?" Jiang Mengyao couldn't help sneering when she saw Jiang Jiabao's mouth full of nonsense, listless and mad.

I don't know whether to laugh at his incompetence, or laugh at my years of painstaking efforts in vain.

After calming down for a while, she turned her head and shouted at the servants beside her, "Didn't someone call the doctor, why hasn't he come yet?"

"Yes, little one, hurry up now!"

……

The autumn wind blows, and the ground is golden, which is really beautiful.

No matter how other people are, Lu Bingxing has really lived happily in recent days. Although Xu Xi is still cold, he will occasionally take the initiative to get close to him, and even take the initiative to cooperate and please him in certain things. reached perfection.

Thinking about it, Lu Bingxing went up to Xu Xi's face and kissed him openly and aboveboard.

Xu Xi was taken aback for a moment, and then from the back of his neck to his ears, his face burst into red instantly.

The fat little man in my mind hugged his cheeks with his hands, and lay down on the ground shyly, but his heart was full of joy. Gu Ping'an loves me too much, what should I do?

This is on the main road, why is this guy not particular at all!

But holding Gu Ping'an's hand, he still didn't let go.

Well, it's autumn, it's strangely cold, standing close to each other holding hands makes it warmer.

The two continued to walk forward.

Today, they were going to visit Mr. Qin in the county seat. This trip was both a greeting and a farewell.

Because Lu Bingxing was about to go to Shuzhou State University to study for a year until he finished the township examination in August next year. In this way, he would not see the old man again for a long time. Of course, he would not see him very often.

Those who passed the entrance examination can all go to the state to study. According to Lu Bingxing's original intention, he certainly didn't want to go to the school again and listen to those old antiques.

But in this era, books are precious, and most of the literati cherish them with their brooms. Even in Jiangnan, where the literary style is at its peak, it is difficult to find some books after the rural examination.

Furthermore, starting from the township examination, the imperial examination mainly examines policy theory, that is, combines Confucian classics theory to express one's own opinions or opinions on current affairs and government affairs. Exam questions are debated by students all over the world.

Now there is no news broadcast, and the information of carriages and horses is slow. If you want to know the current problems and choose what you like, you can only go through the various mansion newspapers flowing out of the palace, and these mansion newspapers are still only accessible to the state schools and aristocratic families. Unresolved cycle.

Therefore, you have to go if you go, or you have to go if you don’t go.

……

The villagers also heard that Gu Ping'an was going to take the imperial examination again.

The sympathy some time ago has all turned into envy and yearning at this moment.

All of them have been prepared since last year, waiting for Gu Ping'an to close his eyes.

Waiting, waiting, waiting, waiting, from the county examination case to the government examination case, the court examination case, until now everyone has to go to the state to study, and the township examination is about to be taken, and the champion is taken, but there is no intention of dying mean.

It seems that what Dr. Lin said last time, it is true that Ping'an's health has improved after vomiting blood that time. Good people have good rewards, and the old village chief blesses him.

It's just that for some reason, I always feel a little uncomfortable in my heart, and I have a faint illusion of being cheated.

But you can't blame Ping An, can you?

He made all the plaques for himself back then, so seriously, he must have thought that he couldn't do it, and he couldn't have lied to them on purpose.

Ping An is Wen Quxing, who is a scholar at such a young age. He will have great promise in the future, and he will definitely not deliberately tease people like them, yes, it must be like this.

So you don’t need to explain a lot of things at all. Where are you, what are the mentalities of those who look at you, what you say and do, you don’t even need to be deliberate or direct. Obviously, even if there is any problem, it will be forcibly suppressed.

……

It is now the beginning of September, and the school has recently given clothes leave, which lasts for ten days.

When Lu Bingxing arrived, it was very quiet inside, only Master Qin and his family were there.

The teacher's wife is a gentle and dignified person. After making tea for them, she went back to the backyard directly.

When Mr. Qin heard that Lu Bingxing came to say goodbye to him, he was in a trance for a while, unable to react.

He has been trying his best to brag about how powerful Gu Pingan is. It's just to save face, in order to find a little sparkle for his sloppy life.

Who would have known that his disciple was actually so powerful?

Three years after leaving the school, relying on self-study, even the middle school Sanyuan, this is the small Sanyuan in the Jiangnan area, he is still dreaming, I am afraid he will not wake up within this year?

"After entering the state to study, I won't be back for a short time. Teacher, remember to take care of your health." Lu Bingxing greeted him very calmly.

Master Qin's whole body went cold, and it was difficult to adapt. Obviously, he didn't feel any kind of reluctant friendship from the official words.

But he also asked politely, "Go to the state to study well, you will definitely have a better future there, and you will meet better teachers and classmates. You need to continue to be neither arrogant nor impetuous, and study hard."

Lu Bingxing glanced at him, but didn't reply.

Master Qin's old face was a little embarrassed, so he simply lowered his head slightly.

When I looked up again and looked at Lu Bingxing, my eyes blinked non-stop, and I finally tried my best to hold back a few tears, "Wuji, you are really promising, I am very pleased to be a teacher, you will have a bright future in the future, but... Master, don't forget that there is an old man in Nanling County!"

Lu Bingxing saw through his ghostly thoughts at a glance, and said coldly, "Don't worry, I won't be apprenticed again!"

Master Qin's heart skipped a beat, and he asked with trembling lips, "Are you serious?"

"Gu has never said anything false in his life." Lu Bingxing nodded with a proud expression.

Master Qin's face changed drastically, he was really about to cry now, he just said it casually, why is this apprentice still the same as before, he can't read people's faces at all?

Or should we sincerely embarrass him, an old man?

After a moment of depression, he began to stare at Lu Bingxing brightly, and calmly advised, "It's too much, it's too much, you don't have to, Wuji, I know that you are a filial and good boy, but in the end Your talent and character, you really can’t be so self-deprecating!”

After all, he still wanted to rely on Gu Wuji to lead him to fly, but Wuji didn't even worship his teacher at all. What to do in the future? Is there a future? How difficult is the future!

Can he still hug his thigh?

Lu Bingxing watched him play tricks coldly.

Master Qin blushed, "Wuji, Wuji, don't be self-willed, you should be a teacher or worship!"

Lu Bingxing refused to listen and shook his head firmly.

Master Qin was in a hurry, his neck was red.

"You kid..."

His eyes rolled wildly, and he glanced at Xu Xi, who suddenly laughed cheerfully, and said troublesomely, "Xu Xi, Xu Xi, let me tell you, Gu Wuji is really not a good guy, he doesn't want to be a teacher, I'm afraid Do you have other intentions, do you know what is the biggest commotion when the rankings are announced after the imperial examination every year in the capital?"

Xu Xi raised his eyebrows, he was quite interested.

The old man smiled and said, "To catch a son-in-law under the list, those Beijing officials directly arranged servants to guard under the list, and when they saw a handsome young man on the list, they would directly tie him back to the mansion.

Let me tell you, Gu Wuji definitely has this in mind, right, this teacher is just a teacher after all, how can there be a father-in-law, this is the real family, no wonder he is so unwilling to be a teacher! "

Lu Bingxing felt his hands itch.

He has been very noble in his life, and he has never fought with anyone. Could it be that the first time he did it, he wanted to deceive his master and destroy his ancestors?

Tsk, it's very exciting, and it fits his genius status and pomp!

If you don't call it, it's a blockbuster!

Xu Xi first looked at Mrs. Qin, then at Lu Bingxing's expression, the corners of his mouth twitched slightly, and he silently complained, both of them are so childish...

Master Qin saw Xu Xi's calm and calm expression, and his heart ached even more. He was frustrated one after another in a short period of time. His disciple is not cute, and his married man is not cute at all.

This is not angry, this is not jumping up and hitting people?

Tsk, let these two unlovable guys lock each other up and harm each other for the rest of their lives. It can be regarded as a blessing for other good boys and daughters!

"Okay, Wuji, you are a successful person. If you don't learn from a teacher, don't learn from a teacher. I hope you still have a bright future. In the future, you will set up your heart for the world, build your life for the people, inherit the knowledge for the saints, and open up for the world. Peaceful!"

Lu Bingxing nodded, he liked to hear these words.

"However, Wuji..." Master Qin stared at him solemnly again.

Lu Bingxing turned his head to look over.

Master Qin's face changed instantly to a sad face, with all the wrinkles crowded together, weeping miserably, "Are you really not going to think about it again? It's hard work to take a detour!"

Both Lu Bingxing and Xu Xi were silent, they both picked up the tea cups at hand and began to sip slowly.

Master Qin huddled into a ball silently, in despair...

In fact, this is really not to blame Master Qin for his attitude. There are so many scholars in the world, but if you can stand out and pass the examination, you will naturally be the elite among the elite.

But in fact, this is only the starting point of a long road to politics, especially for poor students.

The imperial examination is held every three years, and a total of more than 100 people are admitted in the three rankings. According to the procedure, these more than 100 people will first enter the Imperial Academy to write books and edit articles. Not much.

Of course Hanlin has to live in Kyoto, where prices are extremely high, but the monthly salary of Hanlin is not high. Food, clothing, housing and transportation all depend on the meager salary. If most people do not have extra money and family subsidies, it is difficult to maintain a normal life. Not to mention there are all parties involved.

Apprenticeship is the best shortcut to help poor students shorten this difficult time.

After the township examination, the governor will hold a Luming Banquet. At this time, promising and interested students will actively seek out these local officials to deal with academics and government officials. I am under your rule or proctored by you, so of course it is yours. Disciple, it's your insight that makes me who I am now, a very intimate connection.

Of course, even if it doesn't work this time, after entering Beijing, the students will start to find those Beijing officials with the same surname and clan who have turned more than a dozen turns to visit and give benefits, and want to learn from them; The senior officials from the same village visited RBI, and then they still had to learn from their teachers.

All in all, it is to learn from teachers and to form a group.

Everyone praises and hugs, but you are a maverick, is this plausible, can you not be excluded?

After all, as an official in the court, everyone comes from all over the world. They don't know the bottom line and don't understand each other. Naturally, they will subconsciously get close to their classmates, classmates, hometowns, and the same year. Among them, the same door is the most important and closest.

Master, master, the master is the father, even if the master you worship cannot determine the path of your life, at least it can determine the direction of your official career in the first ten years, and most people, forced by life, even the first ten years. Can't last a year.

Once there are vacancies filled in the six ministries of the central government or prefectures and counties, His Majesty will ask the Ministry of Officials to draw up a list, or ask officials to propose candidates.

Everyone knows that this kind of social normality is the same in any world. Old foxes generally don’t directly recommend their juniors, but recommend each other’s old friends, or people from their school, or give them away privately. benefit people.

After all, His Majesty the Emperor is so powerful every day, you can't expect him to remember you as a little Hanlin!

Hanlin said that he is a disciple of the emperor, but there are disciples of the emperor every year, and there is really no shortage of you!

All in all, it is really difficult not to learn from a teacher!

After Lu Bingxing and Xu Xi accompanied Master and Mistress for lunch, they were ready to go home.

Mr. Qin was very polite this time, he got up and walked to the door, and watched them go away, but the expression and eyes made Lu Bingxing feel uncomfortable, and the resentment was too deep!

After the people walked away, Mrs. Qin sat back on the chair, drank several bowls of tea, and said indignantly while drinking,

"The villain, hey, this villain, why did the old man bring out such a villain, he is not obedient at all!"

Mistress closed the courtyard door and came over, and said with a light smile, "Yesterday, I heard that you were bragging about your innocence with your uncle in the clan; you also bragged non-stop with Zhao Xiucai the day before yesterday; Everyone has promoted the excellence of Wuji, and..."

"OK OK!"

Master Qin quickly waved his hands, he was really going to die of anger, it doesn't matter if his apprentice daughter-in-law is not cute, but his own daughter-in-law is also like this, is Lao Qin's face really so worthless?

……

Lu Bingxing and Xu Xi did not return to the village immediately, but went to Sandalwood Workshop.

They sold Fang Zi to the Yang family before, and then they took a share according to the profit. This time, they just went to raise money.

If a person wants to go out, he must have thick pockets, so that he doesn't panic in his heart!

After walking to the street where the sandalwood workshop is located, I found that there were many government servants surrounded somewhere, which is a rare scene.

Incense and other things are basically used by rich families and elegant scholars, so most of the incense shops are concentrated on the Book Market Street.

Book Market Street is full of high-end shops and bookstores. Most of the customers are young ladies and scholars. On weekdays, there are government servants patrolling back and forth. The security is very good, and there are almost no accidents.

The two of them took a few steps closer curiously.

"Dream Hall..."

Looking at the plaque hanging at the door of the shop where the yamen servant was, Lu Bingxing read these three words slowly, with some inexplicable emotions in his voice.
