Jinghong Tower

Chapter 308 A dream for many years (two chapters in one)

He Shuming spent more than ten years of his luck on escaping.

Maybe he was too cowardly the night before, so these two big men didn't take him seriously at all.

Just a scholar who has no power to tie a chicken.

In their eyes, a young man like He Shuming, who had no parents, brothers or relatives to rely on, was like meat on the chopping board, to be slaughtered at will.

Moreover, apart from this, He Shuming was the only unlucky person in this dynasty. He couldn't be reincarnated into anyone's belly, but he wanted to be reincarnated into Yan's belly.

Being implicated by the old Yan family, and being despised by the He Da family.

Who in the entire Zhending Mansion doesn’t know about those things about the He family?

Before Master He became Master He, he was almost bullied to death by the He family.

The He family was not raided and executed. It can only be said that the head of the He family was kind-hearted.

Now the people of Zhending Mansion privately say that Master He is broad-minded. If it were anyone else, even if He's family was not touched, he would still tear the child born to Yan into pieces.

It is conceivable that in the eyes of these two big men, He Shuming is just a weak chicken waiting to be slaughtered.

They didn't take He Shuming seriously at all.

But they never expected that the little weakling in their eyes would actually run away.

Taking advantage of the time spent in a small roadside restaurant, He Shuming climbed into a cart carrying goods. The handlebars and the escort were two horses. He drank a few more drinks and felt dizzy. He sang while driving the cart. Folk songs.

"Hang up the red light on the fifteenth day of the first lunar month. Hang the red light outside the door of Oida Lai. Wait for my brother to come to work on the fifth day of the first month. Ouch, ouch, ouch, ouch, ouch."

The two of them were singing, and they were so beautiful in their hearts. In the past, they would not dare to travel from the capital to Shanxi without more than a dozen people. Otherwise, they would encounter bandits who would lose both their people and their goods. They would be frightened. How could they dare to sing? Bring over.

It's okay now. All the bandits on this road have been beaten away by Master He, and those who can't escape have been recruited. They just need to hurry and don't fall into the ditch themselves. As for the rest, don't worry about it.

Just ignore it, they sing during the day and go to sleep at night, without even knowing that there is a person hidden in the cargo.

When He Shuming came out at night, he didn't dare to buy food in the inn, so he relied on a few dry pancakes he had hidden close to him when he left the capital, and got into the goods when it was almost dawn.

One day it rained heavily, and when the escort went to cover the car with tarpaulin, he finally discovered He Shuming.

The young man was handsome and fair, but skinny and skinny. He had no choice but to finish eating the dry pancakes.

He Shuming begged hard, but the two of them were kind-hearted and did not drive him away, and even gave him dry food.

The handlers and escorts were all from Pingyang. This batch of goods was sent to Jinyang. When they arrived in Jinyang, they loaded the empty cars with new goods and then returned to Pingyang.

When they arrived outside Jinyang City, He Shuming said goodbye to them and walked into Jinyang City with a bag of dry food and two taels of silver given to him by the two men.

He Ran only learned about He Shuming's leaving the capital a few days later.

But she only knew that He Shuming had returned to his true self, and didn't know anything else.

Soon, the second exam began. Candidates who failed in the official exam cheered up and entered the examination room again.

They did not expect that this second test would be more complicated than the official test.

It's also a written test and an interview, but during the interview you don't just talk, you also have to do it.

Those applying for the medical school must identify medicinal materials and diagnose the patient's pulse.

Those who applied for farming were even taken to the fields.

To He Ran's surprise, there was only one woman among the 82 people admitted in the official examination, while five women were admitted in the second examination.

Among these five women, only one failed the official examination, and the remaining four came to the capital specifically to apply for the examination.

Among these five people, there are two female doctors, two are excellent in martial arts, and one has ten years of business experience.

He Ran personally summoned the five of them and asked them why they came to take the exam. Three of the five were filled with bitterness.

The two female doctors are biological sisters, and their family has been practicing medicine for generations. However, in their father's generation, only their father is qualified to practice medicine. In their generation, among the seven or eight brothers and sisters, only two of them can prescribe prescriptions. .

But they were women and couldn't sit in the hall, so the clan came up with a bad idea to let their brothers sit in front of the hall while they assisted behind the curtain.

They were exposed by the patients within two days and were laughed at, but the elders still blamed them.

An acquaintance happened to bring a letter from the capital, saying that he could take the medical examination in the second examination, so the clan asked the man to come to the capital to try his luck, and the two of them also came to the capital quietly with their money.

Of course, during the second exam, they were still discovered by those brothers, who reprimanded them in public, saying that they overestimated their abilities and went to the capital to embarrass themselves and bring shame to the family.

However, the slap in the face came quickly. The sisters were among the twelve people admitted to the medical department this time, but the brothers were not admitted.

It's funny to say that those brothers even had the idea of ​​replacing them, but their names were written on the big red list, and they looked like women. Luo Sanniang and Luo Siniang couldn't replace them.

The two people who are good at martial arts are named Xu Xiangxiang and the other named Liao Yingying. Their situation is exactly the opposite of that of the Luo sisters. They both learned martial arts at home with their brothers since they were young. Now that they have the opportunity, they follow their brothers. When I came to the capital, I originally just wanted to see the world and gain experience, but I didn't expect that I passed all the exams.

Nine people from the Xu family and Liao family alone were admitted.

Another person with business experience was in a completely different situation from them. She was forced into desperation by her family and took the official examination.

Her name is Meng Qing, a native of Yu, and a wealthy family.

Meng Qing has two younger brothers. When his father died, his two younger brothers were eight and six years old. They were unable to inherit the family business. Seeing that the family business could no longer be maintained, the fifteen-year-old Meng Qing decided to cancel the marriage on his own and has been in public ever since. , shouldering the heavy responsibilities with weak shoulders, not only did the property left by his father not be swallowed up by the tribe, but he also expanded the property by three times.

But she never expected that she would marry two younger brothers one after another. When the bride came in, her biological mother asked her to hand over the power to her younger brothers.

She handed it over.

But her mother was still worried. Not only did she fire all the people she trained, she also forced her to marry an old man in his fifties to fill a house.

Meng Qing left home in anger. Although she was engaged in business, she also read poetry and books. When she learned that the official examination was open to men and women, she came to the capital.

She failed the official exam and applied again for the second exam. Among the ten people admitted in the first batch, her name was among them, and she ranked fourth.

He Ran was very satisfied with the six people who stood out in these two rounds of exams.

The woman admitted during the official examination was named Yao Linlang. She was not only talented in literature, but also proficient in law. He Ran planned to transfer her to him when her internship was over. She was in urgent need of such a talent now.

The official examination and the second examination were all based on the imperial examination. Not only did local yamen post lists, but the local yamen would also send good news to their homes for those who passed the examination.

The Yao family has been a scholar for generations, but Yao Linlang only has a disabled brother who cannot take the imperial examination. Her relatives bully her because her family is weak and put her in various difficulties. They even interfered in Yao Linlang's marriage and wanted to use her to marry her and pave the way for her uncle's cousins.

Yao Linlang was so angry that she took the official examination as a woman and succeeded in one fell swoop.

In this official examination, among the twenty candidates from the local area, only Yao Linlang stood out. When the government sent the good news to the Yao family, her disabled brother burst into tears. The clan members also changed their faces and lobbied her brother to let Yao Linlang recruit a son-in-law to avoid taking advantage of outsiders.

The elder brother wrote a letter specifically to let Yao Linlang know the face of her clan members and to prevent her from being burdened by family affairs.

The Meng family is even more interesting. After Meng Qing ran away from home, Mrs. Meng called Meng Qing unfilial to everyone she met, saying that she didn't care about family ties and was a white-eyed wolf.

Meng Qing's mother and two younger brothers were shocked when they learned that Meng Qing ranked fourth in the second examination. After asking for information, they found out that Meng Qing was good at business, and he had passed the scientific examination to become an official. In addition, he was the head of the family. Women are highly valued, so Meng Qing is very likely to join the Household Department.

The old girl from the Meng family who can't get married will be Lord Meng from now on.

Mrs. Meng was surprised and happy, so she took her two sons and came to the capital.

Now that Meng Qing has become an official, of course he has to support his two younger brothers.

Unfortunately, they arrived late, as Meng Qing had already gone to Datong for an internship.

But they never dreamed that Meng Qing invited himself to Datong.

Originally she was able to stay as an intern in the Sixth Department of the Capital, but she didn't have to guess to figure out that the Meng family would definitely come to the capital to find her. She was just an intern now and didn't have the energy to deal with them. The best way was to let them Not found.

Sure enough, Mrs. Meng and her two younger brothers inquired around and found out that Meng Qing had gone to Jin for an internship. Jin is so big, so you can go and find it if you want. Before you could find it, Meng Qing changed places again.

In these two major exams, He Ran specially asked two people sent by Zhou Cangyue.

Bai Zhiyu, a talented scholar from Xiangyang, ranked first in the official examination.

Another beggar gang member, Guo Qingshan, ranked 81st in the official examination.

A total of 82 people were admitted to the official examination. Although Guo Qingshan was the last person, he still passed the examination.

When the news came, Zhou Cangyue had just captured Jingmen.

Although only two passed the exam, he only sent two people there.

100% admission rate, and one of them is the top scholar.

Zhou Cangyue laughed loudly and asked people to buy twenty pigs, and each soldier could get a bowl of broth.

In that dream, he did very poorly in the high school entrance examination and almost didn't go to high school.

Based on his scores, there was only one option, which was to attend the high school known as the prison reserve.

The parents had no choice but to spend a lot of money to send him to a completely closed school.

Only when he got there did he find out that the school not only starved the students at every turn, but also punished them corporally, not literally, but beating them to death until they admitted their mistakes.

Not only that, the male instructors would also take the girls to the dark room. All the girls who had entered the dark room had dull expressions, like zombies.

At that time, he was no longer a skinny kid. He was sixteen years old, full of vigor and rebellious.

So one night, he saw another girl being brought into the small dark room by the instructor. He quietly jumped in through the window and beat the beast lying on the girl's body, losing three of his legs.

He set a fire in the school again and escaped in the chaos.

He did not return to that so-called home, but went to find his grandfather, who was old.

Since he didn't go to school, he became known as a street kid.

He fights everywhere, collects protection fees, and looks after others, but every weekend, he hides behind the big tree opposite the military compound just like he did when he was a child.

Sister Ran has moved away, but she comes back every weekend.

Sister Ran is no longer the little girl jumping up and down. She is tall and has delicate features. She is carrying a drawing board and wearing the school badge, and she is in high spirits.

But he soon learned that Sister Ran's very powerful brother was no longer there. Sister Ran's parents couldn't afford it, and Sister Ran gave up taking the military academy exam.

Once, he saw Sister Ran walking out of the courtyard with red eyes.

Sister Ran must be thinking of her brother.

No wonder she comes back every weekend, because her brother is here, and the happiest time of their family is spent in this compound.

At that moment, he wanted to rush over and tell Sister Ran to cry loudly if she wanted to, and stop holding it back.

But he didn't dare, he didn't deserve it.

Later, he learned what happened after he left that school.

His so-called parents lost a lot of money, but the school did not call the police, and the parents also came to see his grandfather. He was worried that his grandfather would not lie and the secret would be exposed, so he could only secretly send money and medicine to his grandfather. .

But a year later, the parents still found him.

And he directly put the knife to the father's chest, forcing him to tell the truth.

Only then did he know why they wanted to take him back despite not caring about him.

The father is his biological father, but the mother is not.

His parents split up before he was born.

His mother ran away from home, became pregnant out of wedlock, and was cheated on by her boyfriend. She gave birth to him alone in a black clinic. When the black clinic saw that the baby was a boy and that the mother was alone, they had bad intentions and replaced her with a dead baby. he.

His mother thought he had died after giving birth. She was so sad that she fell ill. Although he was taken back by his parents, he only lasted for a year before he died.

And he was bought by an infertile couple on the day he was born.

However, when the couple suddenly returned home with a child in their arms, they were discovered by neighbors who had always had a bad relationship with each other. The neighbors called the police. The couple were both public officials and the husband was on the rise in his career. They were worried about being affected by this incident. He was so scared that he threw him away overnight.

He was lucky enough to be picked up by his grandfather and raised hard.

His grandfather was very wealthy and had only one son and one daughter. Unfortunately, his son died in an accident and his only daughter also died of illness.

And that black clinic finally came to light because of the multiple sales of babies. According to their explanations, my grandfather knew that the child was not dead.

Unfortunately, my grandfather was already dead at that time. He left a will and left all his inheritance to that child, who was the sole heir.

At this time, his biological father had already married another man. After learning about this, he searched everywhere. The hard work paid off and he was finally found.

The documents he signed after he was brought back were documents designating them as guardians and various property agents.

The reason why they are still looking for him now is because his grandfather's most important inheritance cannot be inherited until he is eighteen years old. If he is gone by then, this inheritance can only be donated to charity.
