I go to the ancient imperial examinations

Chapter 271
Qiu Zongxi didn't go back to Qianzhong Road, but the Qiu family didn't forget the elders who were far away in Xiangwu County, Weizhou, so every year at the end of the year, they would send the younger generation of the family to come. Let's talk about the juniors of the Qiu family.

Don't look at only staying for a month or so, but those selected by the Qiu family are all talented juniors, who can understand everything, and they have benefited a lot from this more than a month.

Hearing the displeasure in Qiu Zongxi's tone, Zhan Feiyu couldn't help asking: "Mister doesn't like the third wife of the Qiu family, how dare they send juniors here?"

With Qiu Zongxi's temper, even though he thought about prying the corner of Gu Xueshi's wall, he was very strict when teaching Zhan Feiyu. He roared when he should roar, slapped the table when he should, and even knocked on the book when the fire arose. Zhan Feiyu's head.

The third party who was not liked by him dared to come, and Zhan Feiyu doubted whether the other party could enter the gate of Qiu's mansion.

Although this is a matter of the Qiu family, Qiu Zongxi has never had any worries about his family's ugliness being publicized. "In my ancestors, Sanfang and my branch failed to compete for the position of head of the family. There have been quarrels all these years."

In the end, it was just that Sanfang was not reconciled, and the Patriarch's lineage never suppressed Sanfang, so maybe he had the intention of using Sanfang to train the younger generation.

Among the many aristocratic families in the Daqing Dynasty, the Qiu family can be considered to have unique family rules. It does not require the direct descendants to inherit the family business, but those who can live in it. Whoever stands out can occupy a place in the clan.

But although it is fair and just, starting from Qiu Zongxi's great-grandfather, his line has always been the line of the head of the family. In addition to the fact that the younger generation studies hard and works hard, it is also because it is the line of the head of the family, which has the best resources compared to other people. Dude, with the same contribution, the younger generation of the Patriarch's line must be better.

Sanfang has always wanted to take back the position of the head of the family, but it has not been successful in these years. Until this generation, Sanfang has produced four scholars, three of whom have passed the examination, and the 14-year-old eldest grandson is also a scholar. Sanfang immediately became embarrassed , Acting even more insanely.

"Three Jurens?" Zhan Feiyu was stunned for a moment. If one of the three Jinshi scholars still has the capital, for ordinary people or children from poor families, the status of Juren is indeed unattainable.

But if you put it in the capital, or in the court, what is a juren?The Hanlin Academy is full of Jinshi in the two rankings, and a group of top scholars come out every three years.

You can only say that you have stepped into the officialdom with one foot. If you really want to be an official, you can at most be taught by the county school. order, but it is almost impossible to continue to rise.

With Gu Xueshi as a teacher, Qiu Zongxi was not surprised that Zhan Feiyu was familiar with the court and officialdom, "It's not worth mentioning that people who sit in a well and watch the sky. It's good to come here, let them know what is beyond the sky, and there are people beyond people!"

The round eyes widened suddenly, and Zhan Feiyu said with a full face of guard: "Sir, are you going to push me out as a living target? I'm still young, and I don't want to make enemies!"

"There is something to do, the disciple will do his best!" Qiu Zongxi replied leisurely, with a calm expression on his face, "Don't worry, the person from the third room is just a young scholar, and he can't stand up in front of you, so he can be crushed as much as he wants. Squeeze it, save yourself and lose Qiu's face if you release it in the future!"

The identity of the Qianzhong Daoqiu family, the 14-year-old Sanyuan, is indeed worthy of praise, but with Zhan Feiyuzhuyu in front, Qiu Zongxi wants to see how Sanfang will show off.

Looking at Qiu Zongxi who had already made up his mind, Zhan Feiyu said quietly: "What about poetry? Or calligraphy? The six arts of a gentleman?"

Zhan Feiyu is indeed good at writing articles, but compared to scholars from a scholarly family, she has many shortcomings.

Qiu Zongxi's expression froze, and he glared angrily, "You will use other people's aspirations to destroy your prestige. If you can't fight with words, you can fight with martial arts. Don't think that the old man doesn't know that you saw blood on your hands when you were in Huai'an Mansion."

While speaking, Qiu Zongxi glanced at Zhan Feiyu's left hand. Although he had used the best plaster, it was only over a month after all, and the scar from being bitten by a fine dog could still be seen carefully.

Before Zhan Feiyu could refute, Qiu Zongxi glanced at her lightly, and threatened in a vicious voice, "If you are not afraid of falling into Gu Qingzhou's prestige, you just admit defeat."

With the arrogance of Yelang, the third bedroom of the Qiu family, if he wins against Zhan Feiyu, the entire Daqing Dynasty will know about it,

Zhan Feiyu stared angrily, why should he rest, continue to study!

……

Two days passed in a flash.

Yang Xu found that he had finally improved a little bit and acted thoughtfully, but looking at Zhan Feiyu, who was reading with his head hanging from the beam and his buttocks piercing, Yang Xu's little bit of arrogance and complacency was punctured. A smart person is still so hardworking. What qualifications to be proud of!
After Zhan Feiyu put down his pen, Yang Xu said, "I'm going to Aozi Village."

"Today?" Zhan Feiyu glanced out the window. The charcoal pot was burning inside the room, so it was warm, but when he got up in the morning, there was snowflakes outside, so going out in this weather would be a crime.

"Well, it's just because it's snowing, so you won't attract attention when you go out." Yang Xu found someone staring at Qiu's mansion yesterday, or it was a local ruffian on the street. It must be that Luo Butou knew that he had gone to Zhao's house before. , I was prepared, so I sent someone over.

As for Baozi Xishi has already come out of the prison, but Luo Butou took the opportunity to blackmail, Luo Hu broke a leg, even though the injury lasted for a hundred days, the compensation of ten taels of silver is about the same, after all, ordinary people in Xiangwu County I can't earn ten taels of silver every year.

But Luo Hu was lying in the hospital and couldn't come out. On the night of the broken leg, he said he had a high fever, and he almost couldn't save his life. The doctor in the hospital used wild ginseng for hundreds of years to snatch him back from the hands of Lord Yama. up.

Afterwards, all kinds of expensive medicinal materials were hanging on his life, so the medicine fee in the clinic was already 200 taels. The key is that Luo Hu was still in the clinic. good.

"You don't have to worry about my safety. I sent a letter to Old Man Tie before, and he will send someone to protect me." Since Old General Yang planned to train Yang Xu, whether it is the current situation of the Yang family who is walking on thin ice, or the hidden in Xiangwu County Yang Xu was clearly informed of the old department of the Yang family.

He also knew that it would be dangerous for him to go out, but he couldn't stay at home for the rest of his life. As long as he was ready, he might be able to attract hidden enemies and kill a few more to relieve the Yang family's troubles in advance.

Zhan Feiyu looked at Yang Xu who had made up his mind to go, "That's fine, you should take Asheng with you."

"Okay." Yang Xu rarely showed a childish smile on his dark face, and he was not polite to Zhan Feiyu, but he made a note of this favor, and he will definitely repay her in the future.

Aozi Village was farther away from the county seat, and it was snowing outside again. Even if it was by carriage, it would take two hours to go back and forth twice.

But starting at the end of the day and still not coming back after dark, Zhan Feiyu looked at the lit candles and knew something must have happened.

He Nuan added more charcoal to the charcoal basin, "My brother didn't send a signal to come back, so I don't think there will be a big problem, and the old Yang family is following in secret. Unless a large number of people are dispatched, Yang Xu won't be hurt at all."

As long as the Holy Majesty does not attack, no one in Longyou Dao can hurt Yang Xu. Although the Marquis of Zhenbian has replaced the Yang family these years, the foundation of the army is not stable. Once the Majesty wants to revive the Yang family, the Marquis of Zhenbian will be in a hurry .

Qiu Zongxi, who was sitting at the side reading a book, looked up and said in a deep voice: "To be a general, you must first cure your heart. Taishan Mountain collapses in front, but the color does not change, and the elk rises to the left without blinking. Enemy. If you care about it, you will cause chaos, and it is also a big taboo."

"I won't be named a Marquis or Prime Minister in the future, even if I have this shortcoming, it's not a big problem." Zhan Feiyu grinned indifferently.

She can be cold-blooded and ruthless towards her enemies, but if she can remain calm towards the people around her, then she must have a strong heart. Zhan Feiyu can't do it now, and she won't be able to do it in the future.

This is the natural difference in character between women and men. Whether in the court or on the battlefield, men are more rational and calm, and Zhan Feiyu also fights with each other. It really makes her sacrifice her life for righteousness, and she can't do it. Let her sacrifice the lives of hundreds or thousands of people for the sake of the common people, but she still can't do it.

"No one is perfect, if you really have this kind of heart and determination, I think that person in the palace will not let you go." Disdain flashed in Qiu Zongxi's eyes. The Yang family's misfortune back then was probably due to the Holy Majesty's fear.

The words "lonely family and widowed man" couldn't be more appropriate. I want to make the people of the world loyal, but I am worried that the people of the world will rebel. On the one hand, I will use capable ministers and officials, and on the other hand, I will be on guard in secret, otherwise there will be no Forbidden Dragon Guards exist.

Mr. Qiu is really a fierce man, he dares to say anything!Zhan Feiyu's admiration is nothing but admiration, but for the sake of her own life, she is still in awe of the Holy Majesty and dare not offend him in the slightest.

"Sir, Master Xu is back." The boy's eager report came from outside the study.

Zhan Feiyu stood up and raised her legs to go outside, but He Nuan quickly took the cloak and wrapped Zhan Feiyu tightly before letting her go out.

There was a chaotic noise from the side of the hall, and figures were moving around, which made Zhan Feiyu, who came bravely in the wind and snow, startled for a moment.

"Miss." He Sheng quickly walked out of the house, and explained to Zhan Feiyu, "Those are members of the Qiu family. We encountered an ambush on the way back, and the members of the Qiu family came to help."

Qianzhong Road is thousands of miles away from Weizhou. Unlike Zhan Feiyu who travels lightly, Sanfang of the Qiu family is well-prepared when he goes out. In addition to the twenty guards of Sanfang, he also invited two bodyguards. The escort, together with the maids and servants who accompanied them, amounted to nearly a hundred people. Even if they encountered bandits, they would not dare to rob the Qiu family when they saw the situation.

He Sheng was not injured, and Zhan Feiyu knew that nothing serious happened. When he entered the room, Yang Xu was bandaging his arm. Although he hissed in pain, seeing his grinning face, he was obviously in a good mood.

"Could it be that he wanted to avoid the daily martial arts practice, so he got stabbed on purpose." Qiu Zongxi, who stepped into the door afterward, said in a cold voice. As soon as he said this, Yang Xu, who was still complacent just now, was stunned.

Yang Xu was happy because his trip to the Qu family in Aozi Village was very successful. Unlike the Zhao family's cowardice, the men of the Qu family were bloody. Before, there was no way to avenge their daughter. Now that Yang Xu has come forward, where is the Qu family? There is a reason not to agree.

Although there was an attack on the way, Yang Xu followed Yang Shoucheng to practice martial arts before, which was basically a talk on paper, and today it was a real fight with real swords and guns.

Even though he was stabbed in the arm, the hearty feeling made Yang Xu not afraid of the pain anymore. Who knew that Qiu Zongxi would speak like this.

Standing up after a while, Yang Xu didn't care about the unbandaged arm, and eagerly defended himself, "Grandpa Qiu, I didn't. It's just a flesh injury. I will practice martial arts on time tomorrow morning!"

With a cold snort, looking at the wound on his little arm, Qiu Zongxi's expression became even more displeased, and he said coldly: "That's not necessary, you'll be hurt for a hundred days, since you're hurt, take good care of it, you're still young, Don't leave the root of the disease, it will be too late to regret later."

Hearing the concern in Qiu Zongxi's words, Yang Xu nodded gratefully.

Zhan Feiyu rolled his eyes. Yang Xu is really too simple. Didn't he realize that Mr. Qiu seems to have a violent and irritable temper, but in his bones, there are city government and schemes hidden in his bones. How can a really violent person be Calligraphy and painting everyone.

"Since you can't practice martial arts, you can study with Xiaoyu from tomorrow on." Qiu Zongxi gave the result with the final word.

Zhan Feiyu looked sympathetically at Yang Xu whose expression froze for a moment, and guessed that he would rather be stabbed again than spend seven or eight hours a day reading and practicing calligraphy.

At this moment, footsteps came from outside the main hall, followed by a respectful shout, "Uncle."

Zhan Feiyu looked back, and saw the bright white light of the lantern, and a slender figure appeared under the light.

The wind and snow are flying outside, and the visitor's robe is also fluttering with the wind, his black hair is like ink, and his face is very handsome, and the person on his side is Mo Shangren Ruyu, a son who is unparalleled in the world.

"Qiu Jinyu pays homage to uncle." The 14-year-old boy's voice was between a child and an adult man, like a spring in the forest, clear and crisp, pleasant to the ear.

Before meeting the person, Qiu Zongxi didn't have any good feelings for the third family of the Qiu family, and he didn't hide it at all.

Qiu Zongxi has the highest seniority in the Qiu family. The current head of the Qiu family, the governor of Longyou Road, also calls him "little uncle". In addition, Qiu Zongxi has saved the current emperor and scholar Gu. Under all the glory, even if Qiu Zongxi He is casual and domineering, and no one dares to criticize him.

He didn't like people in the third house, so he didn't hide it, but at this moment, looking at Qiu Jinyu who was solemnly saluting, seeing this handsome and extraordinary face, coupled with such a magnificent demeanor, even Qiu Zongxi would I feel a little good about it.

"Grandpa Qiu, it was Brother Jinyu who saved me." Not knowing Qiu Zongxi's dislike for Sanfang before, Yang Xu spoke quickly, with a hint of gratitude and intimacy in his words.

Even without Qiu Jinyu's help, Yang Xu's trip would not be a major event. After all, only five people from the old Yang family were secretly mobilized, and there were 15 people lurking in the dark, and He Sheng didn't do anything.

The reason why Yang Xu was injured was because He Sheng didn't stop him, Yang Xu killed the enemy, and injury was inevitable.But this did not prevent Yang Xu from being grateful to Qiu Jinyu.
