After dressing as a villain, I am addicted to farming

The Imperial Examination Wenqu Xiuqi Yanwai.

The cicadas outside the window kept screaming, and the sweltering heat in the school made people sweat profusely.

Qu Xiuyan wiped the sweat from his brow, resisted the urge to take off his outer clothes and continued copying books, but his two cousins ​​still had vacant seats in Yu Guangli, so he must have gone to town in the sun again.

"call--"

After taking a long breath, the irritability in his heart increased a bit. Qu Xiuyan was about to put down the brush and shake off his numb arm, but just at this moment, the teacher walked into the classroom coughing lightly.

"Hmph, the brothers Qu Xiuqi are sneaking around again!"

After leading the two brothers Qu Xiuqi with one sentence, the master raised his ruler and tapped on the speech: "These two brothers have been spoiled by their parents, so don't follow suit."

"Follow the Master's instruction."

The students in the classroom answered in unison, but Qu Xiuyan couldn't agree. The people the master said were all his close relatives, how could he open his mouth like this.

After lunch, Qu Xiuqi and the two still didn't come back. Qu Xiuyan planned to have a good talk with his second uncle Qu Zhong, so he wrote down the content on a piece of paper.

But as soon as they got home, the two cousins ​​stayed at home obediently, and even the grandma laughed. When I asked his father, I found out that the two of them didn't come to the school because their sick second uncle went down the river to catch fish.

This made him not know how to speak up, so he could only drink the bowl of snow-white fish soup and silently swallowed his persuasion.

Under this patience, earth-shaking changes slowly took place in the family.

First of all, the second uncle brought the two cousins ​​of the second room home to teach him. When he heard the news, Qu Xiuyan felt a little contempt in his heart.

He still knew what kind of people Second Uncle and Second Aunt were like. For this reason, he also approached his grandfather, old man Qu, until he saw the article written by Qu Zhongmo.

The handwriting is elegant and unrestrained, and open-mindedness and profound knowledge can be seen between the lines. Qu Xiuyan scratched the paper for a moment and wondered whether he hadn't seen clearly what kind of person his second uncle was after all these years.

Simply, his doubts were quickly resolved.

King Anbei's mercenaries stand on their own, and soon there will be a civil war in the Luodu Dynasty.

Qu Zhong didn't know where he got the news, and he took his family members to make preparations very early on. When the military disaster really happened, he had a feeling that it was really so.

Compared with other families who were ruined and displaced, they built a big house with green bricks and tiles on Luogu Mountain, and the house was also full of grain and meat.

Life seems like everything has changed, and it seems like nothing has changed.

He can't study in the school, but he still reads and writes in the bright school every day, and he can even hear the voices of Professor Qu Zhong's cousins.

At that time, he finally understood why his cousins ​​all loved to hang out with his second uncle. From his point of view, the content of these boring books, told from Qu Zhong's stories, was extremely interesting.

Qu Xiuqi's loud voice sounded from the next door again, accompanied by the crackling of the ruler, Qu Xiuyan couldn't help but curl up his lips.

He used to always feel that the children in the second room were being taught badly by his second aunt, but he didn't expect that after his second uncle taught him for a few years, the three cousins ​​became more and more gratifying.

Qu Xiuqi is out of character, loves to cause trouble, and in the past few years, he has gradually developed the appearance of caring for his brothers and sisters. Qu Xiu is straightforward and listens to Qu Zhong's words the most, but the youngest, Qu Xiusui, has a somewhat cold temper.

If he hadn't accidentally caught Qu Xiusui buying bread from other children in the same village to beat up and bully Qu Xiuhe's children, who would have thought that he would have such a heart at such a young age.

"Qu Xiuqi, little bastard, stop for me."

The empty valley is filled with the echo of Qu Zhong calling Qu Xiuqi, and everyone who hears it will smile. This place is like a paradise, which makes people feel at ease.

"Fourth brother, what do you think is the situation at the foot of the mountain now?"

Outside the window were children discussing in low voices, Qu Xiuyan frowned, and then looked out the window sadly.

From what he could see, it was a very blue sky, with only a few scattered clouds floating in the sky, it looked quiet and peaceful, and there was no trace of war chaos.

"Whatever, we'll be fine with Second Uncle here anyway."

It was his own younger brother Qu Xiuyuan who said this, after hearing this, he also nodded and said something in his heart.

That's right, second uncle is there anyway!

But as soon as the words fell, he stayed where he was. When did he become the same as his cousins ​​in his heart, and subconsciously began to rely on Qu Zhong.

"This is absolutely impossible!"

Putting down the book and patting his cheek lightly, Qu Xiuyan kept telling himself that his master told him since he was a child that he was born as the grandson of the Qu family, and that the fate of the Qu family rests on his shoulders, so he cannot indulge in relying on others.

But I thought so, and after he actually entered the court as an official, I realized that I seemed to be inseparable from Qu Zhong's advice and teaching.

Whether it was a matter encountered in the court or at home, he subconsciously consulted his second uncle before doing it.

Of course, they also have many things that they will hide from their family members.

Every time Qu Zhong said that their seniority in the court was still young, and they hadn't seen the darkness of the officialdom, the brothers would just smile in response, smiling more innocently than anyone else.

But in private, Luo Duchao's rumors about their three brothers from the Qu family never stopped.

Ever since his mother Luo Shi abandoned them and ran away, Qu Xiuming has been hiding his ruthlessness very well. In fact, among the brothers, he has the most blood on his hands and the most ruthless strikes.

Qu Xiusui is the most reliable adviser around the prince, and most of the factional struggles in the court were caused by his advice.

And what he is best at is to eliminate all those who have bad intentions towards their Qu family, no matter who they are, what he cares about is only the people of the Qu family.

It was also because of Qu Zhong's existence that they suppressed the darkest side in their hearts. The Qu family was protected by the three of them, no matter how bloody Ren Chaozhong was, they were just a few foolish boys from the mountains when they returned home.

But all this stability has become a luxury because of Qu Zhong's fever.

Fortunately, their brothers got married and had children one after another, and the family life seems to have returned to the way it used to be.

But Qu Xiuyan knew that all these were just appearances. Although Qu Zhong was only in his fifties, his body was getting worse day by day, and anyone with a discerning eye knew that he was hanging on in one breath.

This day was another day when the imperial physician routinely checked Qu Zhong's body.

As soon as the brothers sent the imperial physician away, Qu Xiuming asked impatiently with a gloomy face: "Brother, is there really no other way?"

"Deadly sick, powerless to recover."

Qu Xiuyan closed his eyes and squeezed out a few words, every time he said a word, he felt that he exhausted all his strength.

Qu Xiusui clutched his forehead and fell down on the armchair, murmuring a few words: "I... want... to kill him."

The three brothers in the study all knew who Qu Xiusui was talking about. At first, Qu Zhong had just a common fever, but the doctor he invited had been tossing about for several days, not only did not cure it, but there were also signs of seriousness.

If Grandpa Zhong hadn't invited the imperial physician from the palace, they might still be kept in the dark.

The doctor who was invited earlier turned out to be someone sent by the emperor, and his original intention was to find an opportunity to poison and kill people close to Qu Xiuyan and his brothers in the Qu residence, so as to teach them a lesson.

I didn't expect to find someone at random, and Qu Zhong was chosen.

Although the poison was cleared, Qu Zhong's body was inevitably damaged, and it was inevitable that he would suffer from serious diseases after going back and forth.

"Xiu Sui!" Qu Xiuyan pressed his shoulder and shook his head at him: "Now is not the time."

"Brother!" Qu Xiuming interrupted suddenly, he suddenly remembered the Master Mingde that the imperial physician said in the morning when he took the pulse, since there is no way to go, why not try to ask the Master to help.

"You mean the Mingde eminent monk of Jinling Mountain."

This name is very famous in the whole Luodu country, as soon as Qu Xiuming said it, Qu Xiuyan immediately knew who it was.

"It's him!" Qu Xiusui affirmed.

"Then let's try."

Full of last hope, the three of them took the whole family to Jinling Mountain to pray for blessings.

Unexpectedly, when the talent reached the gate of the temple, Master Mingde had already sent a young novice to wait at the gate.

Looking back at Qu Zhong who walked into the meditation room, Qu Xiuyan felt nervous as if something was about to jump out. Although he could hear the sound of chanting sutras in his ears from time to time, he never calmed down for a moment.

It wasn't until the little monk came to invite him into the meditation room that the sound of wooden fish in the room made him calm down.

After bowing respectfully and saluting, Qu Xiuyan sat cross-legged opposite Master Mingde, quietly waiting for him to finish reading a volume of Buddhist scriptures before calling out: "Master."

"The benefactor wants to ask what the poor monk already knows."

Master Mingde waved his hand, stopped what he was going to say next, and gently put the Buddhist beads in his heart on the small table before continuing to speak: "The benefactor probably also knows that forced retention will not last long."

"I know..."

"Since you know why you are still so obsessed!"

"If you know it, you know it, but I can't do it."

Sitting upright, his body suddenly paused, and Qu Xiuqi's hands on his knees dropped to the sides of his body feebly: "My second uncle is not just a relative to us."

"Since the benefactor still can't give up, then the old man will send you a fate law to benefactor Qu."

With his right hand, he picked up the Buddhist beads on the table and handed them to Qu Xiuyan. Master Mingde then recited a Buddhist name: "Amitabha"

"Mage?"

"You can ask your second uncle like this..." Master Mingde explained slowly, and finally shook his head: "This is against the will of heaven, you must not force it."

The beads in his arms were so light that he could pick them up with one finger, but Qu Xiuyan always felt that he was carrying a heavy stone on his back, so he told his younger brothers about it as soon as he got home.

After dinner, several people followed Qu Zhong into the room.

But when the sentence: "Okay" came out clearly from Qu Zhong's mouth, besides being unbearably sad, Qu Xiuyan was also full of remorse.

If he didn't go on this trip to Jinling Mountain, would Qu Zhong still live for a few more years, but after he asked this question, everyone knew that this time might be just around the corner.

as predicted……

Qu Zhong didn't see the sun of the next day, so he closed his eyes without nostalgia.

Qu mansion ushered in a plain white in the morning light, and the mansion was full of Qu family members who cried faintly.

In the mourning hall, only the three brothers Qu Xiuyan, who knew the inside story, kept their faces blank and did not speak. Just when the crown prince thought they were going to guard the spirit for a while, Qu Zhongtouqi returned to the East Palace immediately after passing Qu Xiusui.

Since then...

The conflict between the prince and the emperor became more and more serious. Finally, one day after three years, Luoquan Kingdom changed its dynasty. The prince formally asked the emperor to abdicate under the banner of the Qing emperor, and the abolished emperor was imprisoned in the western suburbs palace.

The prince ascended the throne as emperor the following year and changed the name of the country to Kaiwen.

The deposed emperor failed to survive the winter of that year, and hanged himself in the western suburbs palace on the ninth day of December.

Qu Xiuyan was appointed Marquis of the Zhu Kingdom and lived in the Marquis Mansion. After 12 years, Qu Xiusui became the first prime minister of the Kaiwen Dynasty and concurrently served as the crown prince and Taifu. Qu Xiuming was in charge of the [-] forbidden troops in the palace.

The composer's limelight is second to none!
