Chapter 83
"Brother Changqing is serious, how can I live as freely and freely as you do now."

"Brother Si Jun, don't be humble. I haven't seen you in a few years. Today will definitely make your trip worthwhile. Don't think this place is not as prosperous as the capital, but I guess you must have never played some things. I will take you to Shunkang City." It's fun, it's very interesting there, although this knowledge is not as good as yours, but I am the best at it."

"Brother Changqing, I still have urgent business to go back to deal with, so I don't want to stay here for too long, but I forgot to forgive me, I will definitely stay a little longer next time!" After these two days, I don't know if there is anything happening in the capital, and I don't know what happened to Li Qi, so I don't want to play if I have a stomach full of things that haven't been resolved.

"Brother Si Jun, I know you are very busy, and you must be here because of important matters. It is not appropriate for you and my brother to meet each other. We will be separated for three years. I don't know when we will see you next time. Tonight, we must toast Drink, Jiang Sijun looked at his expression, he was really embarrassed to refuse.

"In that case, let's just get drunk." Jiang Sijun readily agreed.He didn't want to disappoint his friend. Although he didn't have a deep friendship, after all, he once took the imperial examination together. The youthful years at that time have quietly passed away. When he saw his old friend, he couldn't help but recall that time. He once fought for a common goal. Seeing him I can't help but feel sympathy for failing the rankings all the time, so I can only put Li Qingzhu aside.

This Wang Changqing didn't come here alone, he went out to play with a few friends, and stayed here when it was getting late. He didn't want to meet Jiang Sijun here. Pulled to another table to drink with other friends, Li Qingzhu didn't want to sit with them.Just sit alone in the original position, a table of delicacies, can only be enjoyed alone.

Jiang Sijun was praised by everyone at that table, and there were endless words of praise for him, and he waited in line for a glass of wine.The scene is so lively.

Although Jiang Sijun was warmly treated by these people, he was still worried about Li Qingzhu in his heart, and looked up at her from time to time. Li Qingzhu's mood was not affected much, and he ate happily. Wang Changqing also saw Jiang Sijun always going there. Looking at the table, he asked: "Brother Si Jun, you are worried about that little brother, call him over to have a drink together."

Jiang Sijun quickly said: "No need, he is my subordinate, and he still has a task, so it's not convenient for everyone to drink together."

Wang Changqing was dubious, thinking in his heart, this subordinate has some extraordinary ability, and he still uses Jiang Sijun, so he stared at it several times with anxiety!It's like an old hen staring at her cub, afraid that something will accidentally snatch it away. Seeing that the little brother is really handsome, she can't help but take a few more glances, as if this person is the legendary girl. Empress Wa made it out of the illusion of a superior person. If she didn't look so pleasing to the eye, she might not be able to get this job, let alone be taken care of by her immediate boss. In comparison, I am not so lucky. No, there is no literary talent, but the background is also very inferior. Those who study together have either already achieved fame or succeeded in the mantle of the family. How can they be like me at my age and achieve nothing, like a lump of mud that cannot support the wall.I've been depressed all day long, and my family is struggling to make ends meet, so I don't have much hope for a long time.But today when he accidentally saw Jiang Sijun, he always felt that good luck was coming, as if the nobleman he had been waiting for had finally arrived. Thinking of being able to drink together, we must seize this hard-won opportunity and make a good future for ourselves.

Jiang Sijun came back to his senses and suddenly found that Wang Changqing was also looking at Li Qingzhu.He had no choice but to withdraw his gaze, stopped looking at her, and turned his head to continue drinking. Although Wang Changqing felt that the relationship between the two was weird, he didn't think about it. After all, his own affairs were more important, so he continued to drink with Jiang Sijun. After chatting, he said flatteringly: "Brother Jiang is like a fish in water now, with a bright future, brother, I am proud of you."

"Brother Changqing, don't say that. Many things are beyond your control. It's not as glamorous as you see it. Every day is like walking on thin ice. Not everything goes well. It's like wearing a shackle on your body. It's not as comfortable as you live. Sometimes I am very envious of your life now, being able to live for yourself!"

After hearing this, Wang Changqing looked up and laughed loudly, holding the wine glass with one hand and putting the other on Jiang Sijun's shoulder, his whole body trembling with laughter, the wine in the glass was like boiling water, it was about to splash out, and there was a burst of laughter Afterwards, he laughed at himself and said: "Brother Si Jun, what kind of words are you talking about? You still envy me. I'm just a waste, useless, a man can't serve the country at the top, support the family at the bottom, can't carry it on his shoulders, can't lift it with his hands, a poor scholar One, idle around all day, will only become the laughing stock of others."

"Brother Changqing's words are wrong! Don't belittle yourself like this. The three armies can win the commander, but the common man can't lose his ambition! It's just that the time has not come, so don't give up on yourself at will. Although Jiang Taigong was an old man back then, he was also a master. Make an immortal feat, please wait patiently!"

Wang Changqing sighed, and said: "I hope it will be as you wish! Even if you have Jiang Taigong's talent, it is useless without a virtuous king!" After finishing speaking, he filled the wine glass and drank it down.

When Jiang Sijun saw his appearance, he couldn't help but feel sad. Wang Changqing in his memory was also a hardworking and studious person, with enthusiasm in his chest. He had determined to do something great to benefit the people and serve the country. Now polished by the years, the ambitions of the past have long been lost, and the good wishes are like the water of the Yangtze River, gone forever.In the past few years, I have not passed the exam, and I have gradually lost confidence. The sorrow of many scholars lies in this. It is not that they have no real talent and learning, but that the times have not treated them favorably. The imperial examination system is played in the hands of the powerful. Favor the children of those high-ranking officials and nobles, and set up thresholds to block their way.I also hate this matter deeply, and I have repeatedly remonstrated, but I was blocked by high-sounding reasons.After a long time, it will be no surprise.However, after the new emperor came to the throne, he would carry out various reforms, and he would definitely set things right. When he saw Wang Changqing's situation, he felt a little excited in his heart. He felt that a new era would definitely start now, so that real talents could display their talents. Make the most of everything.It won't take long for Wang Changqing's dream to come true, but at this moment Jiang Sijun naturally can't let him know, I just hope he can be more patient.

Wang Changqing couldn't get the words out of his mouth, he was full of plans to ask Jiang Sijun to find an errand, but he didn't open his mouth in the end, but he was not reconciled in his heart, he just poured one cup after another into his stomach, so that he could feel better.How could Jiang Sijun fail to see his little thoughts, and it was inconvenient for him to open his mouth, but he just kept persuading him to learn more about the arrogance of the ancients, wait for the opportunity, and he will surely achieve his wish.Wang Changqing also took advantage of drinking to relieve his worries, vented his depression, and relieved a lot of burden. Hearing Jiang Sijun's encouragement, he also determined to regain his confidence and give it a go.

Unknowingly, it was already very late, the moon had already risen in the sky, the surroundings were pitch black and silent, the guests at other tables had dispersed, and other friends also left knowingly, Li Qingzhu naturally went back to the room to rest early, leaving only him The two chatted here, Wang Changqing was in a depressed mood and drank a little too much, Jiang Sijun sent him back to the room.He himself was drunk and went back to the room. He knew that he had let down his sweetheart's heart, so he was naturally guilty. He looked at the back room lightly, and Li Qingzhu was indeed lying on the bed, and he felt more at ease after a day's journey , I haven't rested yet, my whole body is sore at the moment, my head is a little dizzy, and I fell asleep when I was tired.
