I go to the ancient imperial examinations

Chapter 339
At the gate of the Qiu Mansion.

The onlookers stood on both sides of the alley, and an aunt who didn't know the situation asked in a low voice: "Who are these people? How did you bring the coffin here after the young year? How unlucky it is!"

"Yeah, it's bad luck. I guess I'll have bad luck for the whole year. I must go to the temple to worship." The gray-haired old lady nodded in agreement, and she believed in these old sayings when she was old.

"Keep down, I guess it's not a good thing." The uncle standing in the front kindly reminded me.

These people are different from those who made troubles a year ago. Not only the uncle who made the noise remembers it, but also many of the people onlookers remember it.

It was the relatives of the eight rascals who caused the trouble, and the one who died was also a local rascal. To put it bluntly, if you die, you will lose a scourge.

But these people in front of them are all dressed in strong clothes, with knives or swords on their waists, each of them is tall and fierce, and they are all Lianjiazi who cannot be provoked.

The key is that there are hundreds of people at this glance, not to mention the dark area at the entrance of the alley, there are also hundreds of people by visual inspection, and the visitors are not friendly.

"Whoever he is, if he comes to the Qiu mansion to make trouble, I will be the first to refuse!" The strong man who went up to the tower to resist the barbarians a few years ago shouted, they are not ungrateful bastards.

In order to guard the city tower, Old Mr. Qiu was still commanding the battle on the tower at a young age. This is a great kindness, and the people of Xiangwu County will always remember it in their hearts.

"Yes, if we dare to come to the Qiu Mansion to make trouble, we won't be afraid no matter how many people there are!" Another man also shouted loudly.

There was a charcoal fire burning in the spacious carriage, and there were steaming hot tea and several plates of delicate pastries on the low table.

Qiu Jingyuan, who had been aggrieved for several days, listened to the discussion outside, and cursed angrily; "These ignorant pariahs, why didn't the barbarian army attack in the first place, kill a few more, let's see if they will meddle in their own business! "

Mrs. Qian was shocked. She probably did not expect that Qiu Jingyuan, who is a citizen of Daqing, could say such cold-blooded and heartless words.

But suddenly looking at Shangqiu Feng's treacherous and gloomy eyes, those cold and bloodthirsty eyes made Qian Shi seem to be being targeted by a poisonous snake, Qian Shi suddenly felt a chill in his body, and quickly lowered his head to avoid it.

"Troublemakers come out of poor mountains and evil waters!" Qiu Zongzhang echoed with a face full of approval, his wrinkled old face was full of disdain and contempt, "No wonder that old man Qiu Zongxi has lived here for eight or nine years, hmph, like a raccoon!"

Although they are of the same generation, Qiu Zongxi suppressed them back then, and they couldn't raise their heads. Not only the members of the Qiu family, but even the scholars in the same academy, the same state capital, and the entire Qianzhong Road were crushed to death by the talented Qiu Zongxi. Living.

How dare the light of fireflies compete with the sun and the moon!
Qiu Zongxi is the sun and the moon, and their contemporaries are useless fireflies, not to mention Qiu Zongxi was born in the direct branch of the Qiu family, while Qiu Zongzhang is a neglected side branch.

Even after many years, Qiu Zongzhang can still recall the scenes of reading when he was a child. Whenever Qiu Zongxi travels, he will be surrounded by talented scholars and beautiful ladies in his prime, reciting poems and composing poems, and singing water. All the flair and elegance.

Qiu Zongzhang also wanted to join this circle, but he was always excluded. Thinking of those contemptuous and disdainful eyes, that superior disregard, Qiu Zongzhang still gritted his teeth with hatred.

The past in his mind distorted Qiu Zongzhang's expression a bit, and his old face was set off to become more mean and hideous, "What are you waiting for? If you don't open the door, let someone knock the door open!"

This time with enough manpower, Qiu Zongzhang intends to take the opportunity to take revenge on Qiu Zongxi, that old man, everyone says he is open-minded, bah!In Qiu Zongzhang's view, he is a hypocrite and a villain!

If Qiu Zongxi really didn't covet fame and fortune, and didn't care about power, why didn't he introduce those classmates and close friends he made to himself?
Qiu Zongxi didn't want to be an official, but he had always planned to take the imperial examination to become an official. Unfortunately, his luck was not good. Qiu Zongzhang originally wanted to ask Qiu Zongxi to help introduce one or two ministers to the court.

I am also a Juren, so I fill a vacancy in the Ministry of Officials first, so what if I am a county magistrate of Qipin?As long as Qiu Zongxi is willing to help, then as long as he passes the official department's evaluation once every three years, he can be promoted, and he can be transferred to six departments in at most ten years, and become an official under the emperor's feet.

Qiu Zongzhang even thought about it, when he would be an official in the capital, Qiu Zongxi would stay in Qianzhong Road, and their cousins ​​could complement each other.

Of course, I am a Beijing official and can face the emperor directly, so the family's network resources should naturally be dominated by myself. When I enter the cabinet one day and become the confidant of the Holy One, I will definitely give back to the family. Maybe the Qiu family will Becoming a big family in the capital, granting marquis worship, and sheltering children and grandchildren is just around the corner!

But Qiu Zongzhang didn't expect Qiu Zongxi to be so cold-blooded and ruthless. Not only did he not recommend him, he even prevented his family from finding an official for him, cutting off his official career!Cutting off one's future is like killing one's parents, the hatred is irreconcilable!

Qiu Feng looked mockingly at Qiu Zongzhang, who was full of hatred and wanted to avenge his shame, and said sarcastically, "Second Grandpa, you are in charge. We will obey Second Grandpa's command. If Second Grandpa intends to break into the house, just give the order!"

"I..." Qiu Zongzhang seemed to be strangled by someone, and his expression instantly became extremely ugly.

Don't look at Qiu Zongzhang's ruthless words, but Qiu Zongxi has accumulated power for a long time. Even though the two haven't seen each other for more than ten years, the scene of being severely taught by Qiu Zongxi back then is vivid in my memory.

Qiu Zongzhang had the guts of a bear, and he didn't dare to be rude to Qiu Zongxi. After all, he was a real scholar, but Qiu Zongxi was both civil and military, and his fists were as hard as his temper.

"Brother Feng, let me go!" Although Qiu Jingyuan is only 12 years old, she is the undisputed master in the third room. Qiu Zongzhang, who relies on the old and sells the old, even frightens and frightens the juniors of the side branches, Qiu Jingyuan doesn't buy it at all.

Thinking of the previous humiliation, Qiu Jingyuan was no longer afraid of the cold, and got up to get off the carriage.

Qing Hong, who was waiting beside the carriage, heard the movement and immediately stepped forward and opened the curtain, and helped Qiu Jingyuan get off the carriage, "Miss."

Qiu Feng followed closely behind, but Qiu Zongzhang, like a tortoise, picked up his teacup and drank tea.

Qian Shi hesitated for a moment, logically speaking she should go down, but she didn't want to offend Qiu Zongxi and Yang Xu, but after all she was the in-law of the third wife, and Qiu Feng's sinister eyes made Qian Shi feel cold all over.

After a while, Mrs. Qian still got out of the carriage, winked at the maidservant, and the two of them retreated to the corner and stood there.

Qiu Jingyuan looked at the guards standing neatly in two rows, her bloodthirsty aura finally made Qiu Jingyuan smile, "Brother Feng, thank you."

"You are my cousin, there is no need to be polite between us, to bully you is to bully our third room," Qiu Feng patted Qiu Jingyuan's head, staring coldly at the gate of the Qiu Mansion in front of him.
