Chapter 107 Freedom Is Valuable

Seeing the master coming back, two girls who were sitting and talking in the middle hall, that is, the female guest and the maid Liu Yue stood up together, greeted Qin Dewei and welcomed Qin Dewei into the room.

It was also the first time for Qin Dewei to be greeted by this treatment, and it was only at this time that he really felt a little independent as the head of the family.It is more comfortable to be independent than to depend on others, even if the cost of living has skyrocketed.

Most importantly, this is freedom.

Facing the female guest who was taller than himself and had such obvious protruding parts, Qin Dewei couldn't help but walk slowly, neither looking up at his face nor down at his waist.

Tsk tsk, she is really mature beyond her age group.While sighing, he asked casually again and again: "Are you Xu Miaoxuan?"

Female guest: "."

Liu Yue didn't know why Qin Dewei was so stupid, so she smoothed things over and said, "Young master, what are you talking about, you can see him every time you go to school, why are you pretending not to know each other?"

Qin Dewei came back to his senses, and sincerely apologized to Xu Miaoxuan, saying: "I'm sorry, I'm face-blind, I can't remember faces."

Although I have seen you many times, but every time I can't take care of my face
Then Qin Dewei invited the female guest to sit down, Liu Yue was not qualified to sit now, and could only stand by and wait.

First, he took a serious look at the other person's face—it was quite upright, so as not to be confused the next time he saw it, and then the question of address made Qin Dewei very embarrassed.

This is Xu Shian's aunt, and I am Xu Shian's baby brother, so what should I call her?Finally, after thinking for a long time, I could only say vaguely: "Why did Miss Xuan come here?"

Five hundred years later, only four or fifty years old can be called eldest sister, but in Daming, any woman who is the eldest in the family can be called eldest sister.By extension, it's okay to call a strange young woman Big Sister.

Xu Miaoxuan didn't speak, but took out a letter.Qin Dewei took it, opened it to see the signature first, it turned out that it was written by Mr. Zeng.

The host, Qin Dewei, smiled calmly, and in order to prevent the guests from feeling left out, he said first: "If Mr. Zeng has something to do, why didn't you summon me over there, and trouble Miss Xuan to run errands to deliver the letter, let me take a look first."

But after reading it, Qin Dewei was left speechless.Mr. Zeng said in the letter that the brothers and sisters of the Xu family were loyal queens, and asked Qin Dewei to take care of them out of righteousness.

Scholars in ancient times colluded with each other to help each other, are they all tuned up like this, and then they didn't explain it clearly in the letter!Another novel experience.

Qin Dewei asked curiously first: "After Mr. Zeng said you are loyal, what do you mean?"

Xu Miaoxuan replied: "My father was a Jinyi guard before his death, and he was banned by the guard on duty. During the Zuo Shunmen incident in the third year of Jiajing, my father was the criminal officer. He was reported on the spot for light punishment without authorization. Therefore, he angered the Holy Majesty, causing him to be dismissed from office and seize honors, and he died of serious illness and anger when he returned home."

Qin Dewei was in awe. Anyone who dared to do such a thing, no matter whether he was right or wrong, could always be called a man of faith. No wonder Mr. Zeng called him a loyal queen.

And praised: "It seems that the vitality of the imperial court was preserved back then, and your father contributed a lot."

Xu Miaoxuan said without any fluctuation: "It's all about the past, it's not worth mentioning now, and now our siblings are just ordinary military households living in Nanjing."

Qin Dewei raised the letter in his hand, "Mr. Zeng said let me take care of you, what do you brothers and sisters need to find me?"

Xu Miaoxuan hesitated for a moment before expressing her intention: "Mr. Zeng said that I can ask you to help me with the county examination."

This made Qin Dewei very unexpected. At first, he thought that the siblings wanted to borrow a place to live, but he confirmed it: "You mean next year's county examination? It's for your brother Xu Miaojing's intercession?"

Xu Miaoxuan nodded: "Mr. Zeng said, you can do it, let me ventilate with you first."

Mr. Zeng can really find a job for himself, Qin Dewei said with a wry smile: "I have been working in the county government recently, and there is indeed a way to get through the joints. But I don't want to hide from Miss Xuan, there is a clearly marked price, it must be eighty taels."

Xu Miaoxuan took out another stack of documents from her purse, and gently put them on the table: "This is the land deed here. Mr. Zeng said that it was directly given to you, and the right is used as the capital of the younger brother."

"." Qin Dewei was suddenly very interested. Mr. Zeng was so kind to that Xu Miaojing, as if he cared more about him than himself!A small house throws it away as soon as it says it, just to help Zhongyi get in later?
Although Xu Miaojing is the only top student and the seed of study in Xu Clan Studies, but Mr. Zeng is too righteous!Could this sibling also have a single mother?

With a sour feeling, Qin Dewei said lightly: "Mr. Zeng is really a good person."

Xu Miaoxuan deeply agreed with this: "Mr. Zeng is like a gentleman in ancient times! When we learned that Mr. Zeng was going to leave, our siblings went to persuade him to stay, but Mr. Zeng was worried that his brother's studies would be missed, so he planned to bring his brother back together. Yangzhou continues to teach."

Qin Dewei suddenly wanted to ask Mr. Zeng, why are you not worried about my studies?Or is it that Xu Miaojing is the real disciple in your heart, and Qin Dewei is a wild disciple?

This is a historical plane, not a martial arts plane. Mr. Zeng, you act like a hero.
"Then you will let Xu Miaojing go to Yangzhou with Mr. Zeng?" Qin Dewei asked again.

Xu Miaoxuan replied: "Mr. Zeng is a very powerful person, and he will surely achieve something in the future. Moreover, with the ability of our siblings, we can't find a better master than Mr. Zeng, so we can only let my younger brother continue to follow Mr. Zeng." .”

These words really surprised Qin Dewei. As a time traveler, he naturally knew that Mr. Zeng would be able to be a border town official in charge of the army and the people in the future.

But Xu Miaoxuan is just a teenage girl, so how can she see that Mr. Zeng will definitely achieve something in the future?He didn't believe that Xu Miaoxuan was also a time traveler.

Facing Qin Dewei's question, Xu Miaoxuan was too lazy to explain, but thinking of asking Qin Dewei, she could only patiently say: "There are more and more troubles in the imperial court, but fewer and fewer ministers who know the soldiers. How can there be no Mr. Zeng's day?"

Qin Dewei became even more curious. A young girl can really have such insight: "Please tell me in detail."

Ignorant people are really annoying, they don’t understand anything and still have to ask the end, Xu Miaoxuan secretly rolled her eyes, "In recent years, there are only a few ministers who are famous for their knowledge of soldiers, but Wang Yangming passed away last year, Yang Yiqing is old After being dismissed from office, Wang Tingxiang is also in his sixties.

Other than that, there are really no ministers who know soldiers.According to Mr. Zeng's ambition, as long as he can enter the imperial examination and pass the frontier fortress, he will surely take advantage of the situation.If there is a helping hand in the court, it is not uncommon to be a frontier commander in just a dozen years. "

Qin Dewei is convinced, and can conclude that she is really not a time traveler.Anyway, in his previous life, he had read articles, and he had never seen a female traveler who knew Yang Yiqing and Wang Tingxiang so well.
After being in the same school so many times, I really didn't realize that besides the treasure of the body, this girl's mind is also such a treasure.
But he still couldn't help but say: "You think too well. The imperial examination is the most mysterious thing. If Mr. Zeng can't pass the imperial examination for a long time, then his ambition will be useless."

Xu Miaoxuan said nonchalantly: "Then you can go to the frontier to find a minister to be a military guard, with Mr. Zeng's ability and ambition, he can still stand out.

Others don't mention it, but today's boss Wang Tingxiang, Shangshu of the Ministry of War in Nanjing City, is also a person who understands military affairs.If Mr. Zeng fails the provincial examination next year, then find a way to meet Mr. Wang. Do you think Mr. Wang will appreciate Mr. Zeng? "

What you say is what it is, Qin Dewei turned to ask: "Xu Miaojing is only eleven or twelve this year, right? Why are you so anxious?"

"Brother Qin doesn't know something. We are children of military households. Each generation must have one person serving as a military officer. My family was originally a world official, and my younger brother just needs to replace my father as a military officer.

But in the third year of Jiajing, my family was dismissed from office and seized honors. When my younger brother became an adult at 16 years old, he could only serve as an ordinary soldier. The difference between brothers Qin should be conceivable.

Therefore, if you don't want your younger brother to suffer, you must obtain a background before 16 years old. Even if it is a scholar, it is enough to save your younger brother from the suffering of a soldier. "

Qin Dewei can understand this very well. Isn't he wanting to achieve fame because he wants to escape the hardships of corvee and taxes in adulthood?Otherwise, what if one day they are dragged to build the Yellow River or transport grain and grass to the border?
Qin Dewei put away the land deed, and promised: "I understand, since Mr. Zeng asked you so solemnly, then I will do my best."

At this time, a thought popped into my head, since I have a way to try it out, should I accept ten or eight more requests?Each family received one hundred taels, and then gave eighty taels to the county magistrate, making a huge net profit of twenty.
But as soon as the idea came up, I quickly squashed it.

One or two favors are nothing more than a favor, how can it really be regarded as a way to make money?The characterization is serious, this is the case of fraud in the imperial examination, even if it is not investigated, it will affect my reputation as a scholar after it is spread in private!

Being in the yamen for too long really has its disadvantages, such greedy and daring thoughts can come out, and countless famous figures perish because of this lack of restraint.

"But I still have to say that the road to fame and fame is a gamble." Qin Dewei kindly warned: "Even if I made my younger brother pass the county test, there will still be many difficulties afterwards."

Many smart people think that they are exhaustive, but once accidents or failures occur, their stress resistance is not as good as that of stupid people.

Xu Miaoxuan replied: "If Wen is not good enough, my younger brother can also learn military affairs with Mr. Zeng. After the body grows up and practice riding and archery, you can go to the martial arts exam. There will be much less competition there."

Qin Dewei was amazed, this Xu Miaoxuan was really thoughtful and meticulous, and arranged everything about her brother's future clearly, even Mr. Zeng's future could be seen clearly.

Thinking of this, Qin Dewei suddenly wanted to hear what his future looked like in the eyes of others.So he asked with great anticipation: "Then, in your opinion, what will I achieve in the future?"

Xu Miaoxuan didn't mind expressing her thoughts: "Brother Qin has been in the yamen, and the joints can always be passed, so the county examination must not be difficult.

As for the college examination, Nan Zhiti changed the academic staff every three years, and three years after another, he could always wait for a great master who appreciated Brother Qin, so it would not be a problem to finally pass the exam. "

It sounded pretty good, Qin Dewei saw that the other party stopped talking suddenly, so he asked urgently, "And then?"

Xu Miaoxuan didn't want to waste her saliva saying a bunch of useless things, she just wanted to say "then there is no then" and it was over.But it's still the same sentence, I need Qin Dewei.

So I can only say with high emotional intelligence: "Then there are roughly two guesses. The first one is to rely on fame and local influence to connect the people and the government, monopolize taxes and lawsuits, or monopolize the market, and become a Jinling gentry.

The second is to put an end to folk customs and concentrate on the way of literature and art. This Qin brother is also quite good at it, and has become a famous Jinling literary figure, such as Wen Zhengming. "

Qin Dewei is very dissatisfied, who is this connotation?Who doesn't know, the well-known Wen Zhengming seems to have failed nine provincial examinations.
"That's it? Could it be that you can't be born in the top two rankings, fight horses in Yujie, manage temples, or take charge of Fengjiang?" Qin Dewei said his plan for the future.

Xu Miaoxuan was speechless for a long time, and then said: "But Mr. Zeng said, you are a busy person who is busier than the magistrate, and you haven't even started to practice solving the problem."

Really busier than the county magistrate Qin Dewei couldn't hold back his face: "Mr. Zeng told you what this is for!"

Xu Miaoxuan's expression was very tangled, and she said helplessly, "Because Mr. Zeng asked me to teach you this year."

This sentence really shocked Qin Dewei, Mr. Zeng looked down on him so much, he ran away with that person himself, but threw himself to a young girl to teach him!

Before Qin Dewei protested, Xu Miaoxuan suddenly took out another silver bracelet and threw a louder thunder: "Your mother also agreed, let me strictly supervise and restrain, as evidenced by the ancestral bracelet of the Qin family. If you see your mother."

The young master Qin Dewei, who had only been free for a day, was dumbfounded, feeling that the sky was dim and the earth was dark.What are these adults thinking?If the city of Nanjing is big enough, can't there be room for a free body and mind?
　Speaking of poetry, let’s look at the records of literati in the Ming Dynasty. They are all very common and ordinary poems. This is the case in daily life. Even those big-name figures write ordinary poems every day.
