I heard you want to let me down

Bailu Academy is located on the outskirts of Huainan City, and it is one of the most famous academies in the Yong Dynasty.It was built hundreds of years ago by the great Confucian Lin Dai, and has survived several dynasties without changing its character.There have been countless great Confucian officials, hermits and talented scholars.

Such a good school is of course not easy to get into.

Bailu Academy only holds an admissions exam every year, and there are only two hundred students. Compared with the number of applicants, it is really a thousand troops crossing the single-plank bridge.And the atmosphere is upright, one doesn't care about money, and the other is not afraid of power.

Even with the financial resources of the Rong family, it is impossible to get through the back door of Bailu Academy.Rong Jin dared to boast about Haikou and asked for a place for Gu Ruzhuo, but it was only because Rong Jin had a great master.

The middle-aged Confucianist with a long beard sat on a high seat, waiting for his proud disciple to make tea for him.

"If you don't have anything to do, go to the Three Treasures Hall." Dai Xun'an held the hand stove, shaking his head, "Say, what's the matter, ask me?"

Rong Jin knelt on the mat, obediently fanning the small red clay stove with a fan: "Look at what Master said. I just wanted to honor Master because I haven't seen you for a few days."

"My boy, are you really asking me for nothing?"

"When Master said that, I really remembered that one thing." Rong Jin gracefully put down the round fan, and poured the boiled snow water into the teacup, "Master should still have a recommendation spot from Bailu Academy. "

Bailu Academy recruits students very strictly.But there are two exceptions.One is a great Confucian who is famous all over the world, and the other is a teacher of Bailu Academy.They can recommend a student to study every year without having to take the entrance examination.

However, this position is rarely used.

Scholars value strength of character.If the person recommended by himself fails the year-end assessment, he will be withdrawn.That was a shame.Therefore, unless they are very close and talented children, they will never recommend them easily.But talented people are more willing to pass the exam by themselves.

Dai Xun'an was surprised and said, "You want to enter Bailu Academy?"

"It's not Tuer." Rong Jin raised his wrist and poured the boiling water on the stove into the teacup, "It's a boy that Tuer bought from the market a few days ago."

The master came closer, with gossip in his eyes: "Could it be the foster husband you bought back?"

The corner of Rong Jin's mouth twitched: "Father told you?"

He raised his face triumphantly: "He can tell me where."

"Master just said if it's okay."

"My dear student, it's not that I don't love you as a teacher." Dai Xun'an stroked his beard with a look of embarrassment on his face, "You're just calling him a teacher to recommend him rashly. If he doesn't study well, my old face will go away where to put it?"

"If he doesn't have much ability, I won't come to embarrass Master." Rong Jin said softly, "Master may have heard of his name in the past. He used to be called Gu Baike."

"Gu Baike?" Dai Xun'an thought for a while, "Could it be Gu Baike from Heyang County in Jiangdong?"

Before Rong Jin could answer, Dai Xun'an shook his head: "This is unlikely?"

Rong Jin nodded, "It's that Gu Baike."

Dai Xun'an was very surprised: "He seems to be a family of officials? How could he come here and become a slave? Could it be that his house was ransacked?"

Rong Jin sighed, "This is really hard to describe."

Looking at the detailed information given by the system, Rong Jin really sympathized with Gu Ruzhuo.

Although it is said that the heaven will send a great mission to the people, one must first suffer from one's will, but this is too pitiful.

Gu Baike's background is not bad, although far from being prominent, she is still a family of officials.He himself was young but intelligent, capable of poetry and prose at the age of seven, and when he was 12 years old, he met Mr. Nanshan, a great Confucianist, and praised him for his "elegant and limitless literary sentiment".

Well, it sounds pretty good.

The reason why Gu Baike has been reduced to what he is now is because he has a natural enemy that many protagonists have encountered before—the stepmother.

After Gu Ruzhuo's mother married Gu's father, the natal family that was originally the same as the Gu family gradually declined. Gu's mother was depressed for many years, and finally passed away when Gu Baike was 12 years old.After two years, Gu's father climbed up to the lady of the chief's family.As soon as the stepmother came in, she became pregnant, and from then on she regarded Gu Baike as a thorn in her side.

If there is a stepmother, there will be a stepfather. This sentence is simply a personal portrayal of Gu's father.

Withholding food expenses, punishing him by kneeling in the name of teaching, not allowing him to go out to meet people in the name of keeping his filial piety...

I won't talk about these little things.

Seeing that the three-year filial piety period was about to pass, Gu Baike was ready to take part in the children's examination, but his own father, together with his stepmother, secretly sold him out! !

Who would have thought? !

House of officials!The eldest son of a serious son!It's also called Yuanbo!He was actually smuggled out of town and sold by his own parents and stepmother? !

TV shows don't dare to act like this!

However, although this trick is cruel, it is unexpectedly easy to use.

Who would have guessed?

After falling into the hands of human traffickers, Gu Baike couldn't escape at all.Facts also proved this point, he escaped three times and was caught back.At that time, they only need to say that Gu Baike went on a trip and disappeared, and no one will find out the truth.

Even if he was found out, Gu Ruzhuo was good-looking, so he might be sold somewhere.If he was sold into Huajie Liuxiang, even if he was redeemed immediately, his reputation would be ruined.Who would pursue it for a person whose future was ruined and humiliated?

In this world, is there such a cheating father?Even if it's just the stepmother doing it on her own, it's fine to do such a thing!

Even if he wasn't the main character, Rong Jin would probably help him if he met him. This unlucky kid is really pitiful.There is Qingyun Road under his feet, but he was thrown into the swamp by his own father.

After listening to Rong Jin's few words, Dai Xun'an was also speechless.

This is really, unheard of!Is there such a father in this world? !

Dai Xun'an thought for a while, and said puzzled, "If he is really that Gu Baike, why not wait a year and get admitted to Bailu Academy in a dignified way?"

"Youth is rare, how can you call him a waste?" Rong Jin sighed, "Besides, he is a slave now, so he is not eligible to take the entrance examination at all."

Most importantly, there are only two hundred a year, one in a million, the probability is low!What if I fail the exam? !

Dai Xun'an frowned: "Ah Jin, talented people are rare and should not be insulted lightly. Why don't you cancel his slave status?"

"Rescind the slavery, and then send it back to his own father?" Rong Jin put the brewed tea in front of the master, "It's better to stay in Rong's house."

"Anyway, I also lack a husband-in-law in name. Why not wait for him to marry into the Rong family, and then revoke his slave status, so that he has nothing to do with the Gu family at all." Rong Jin said sincerely, "When he is in a situation It’s better, when the time comes, it’s up to him to leave or stay.”

Dai Xun'an didn't speak for a long time.Rong Jin noticed his silence, and turned his face slightly: "Master?"

"You are very similar to your father." Dai Xun'an looked at Rong Jin in a daze, "He has a kind heart and cherishes righteousness and talents."

Rong Jin opened his eyes wide in surprise, and smiled slightly: "If my father knew that you praised him like this behind his back, he might be so proud."

Dai Xun'an changed the subject: "You can bring that child to me in a few days. If he has real talents and learning, I will recommend him to the academy."

Rong Jin was overjoyed immediately, talked with Dai Xun'an for a while, and then left.

Dai Xun'an watched Rong Jin leave.After a long time, he picked up the cup in front of him. Rong Jin carefully brewed the tea for a long time, but he didn't drink it, but spilled it on the ground little by little.

"Brother See Su, Rong Huaisong has lived up to the entrustment and brought him up very well. Although his appearance is not similar, his bearing and heart are like yours."

"Under the Nine Springs, you can rest in peace."

……

Sitting on the carriage, Rong Jin sighed deeply in his mind.

The positive sound of the system sounded: [Isn't this the goal?Why is the host bothered? 】

At this moment, Rong Jin was the only one in the carriage, and he didn't need to maintain a dignified ladylike persona, so he lazily spread out on the comfortable carriage, with a look of nothing to love: 【I just want to be a leisurely fish, Hold the protagonist's thigh tightly and complete the task as soon as possible.I don't want to open a dungeon where my life experience is a mystery and I bear blood and deep hatred! 】

The system is inexplicable: [What is the host talking about? 】

[Master and my father have always looked at each other not very pleasing to the eye.That sentence, "Be kind-hearted, value righteousness and cherish talents", is obviously not referring to my current father.Why didn't I think of this before?" Rong Jin regretfully wanted to slap himself on the head, 【Although my father and Master knew each other, they are obviously not good friends.Why would a great Confucian like Master accept me as a disciple so easily?Still treat me very well all the time? ! 】

[Will the host think too much? 】The system naively said, 【Maybe he just hit it off with you? 】

Rong Jin regained his composure, his tone became slower, but more organized: [There is one more thing that is wrong.If you have a beloved female student, she must recruit a husband, and it is difficult to meet any good man.But at this time, she happened to be very lucky and bought a rare young talent.what would you think 】

The system didn't even think about it: [Let them try it? 】

【yes.Is this what normal people think?However, except for the fact that Master made a joke with me when he didn't know his identity, he had no such thoughts at all.He didn't even show the slightest surprise when I said I needed a husband-in-law 'in name'. 】

Rong Jin slowly expressed his deduction: 【I suspect that Master knows that I am a man. 】

The system still thinks he's thinking too much: [The master-student relationship is so close, and you've been together for a long time, maybe he discovered it by accident.Or your dad told him. 】

Rong Jin shook his head: [If you find out by accident, Master will definitely come and ask me.As for the second type, my father didn't even tell my grandmother, so how could he tell the master that the relationship is not considered good?Unless there is a reason to tell. 】

Suspicion arose, Rong Jin immediately found out many doubts from past memories.

[I was very confused before, why my father valued my studies so much.I can't take the imperial examination, so what's the use of reading so many sage books?Moreover, if I want to trick God into thinking I am a girl, I should be as feminine as possible.But since I was very young, he has been very taboo about this, and he is very strict in terms of clothing and address. 】

[It's not like trying to hide the sky, but rather like trying to hide people. 】

The more he thought about it, the more desperate Rong Jin felt.

The system comforted him: [No matter what the secret behind this is, we just need to complete our mission. 】

Rong Jin gave a soft [hmm], but his heart was still not happy.

Guessing that Rong Huaisong was not his biological father, Rong Jin felt very uncomfortable.He couldn't help thinking, if it was really the original Rong Jin, he might not be able to accept it at all.He imagined that if he found out that his parents in real life were not his biological parents, he would collapse in minutes.

What's more, just looking at how tightly Rong Huaisong hid him, one knows that if there is really an enemy, then the enemy may have a strong background.Maybe it wasn't because of the original body after all, he didn't want to know who his biological parents were, and he didn't want to involve the Rong family, Master and other close people in danger because of this.

However, there are some things that you cannot avoid if you want to.And father, master, what do they think?

Forget it, he rubbed his face and took a step to look at it.
