Chapter 396 Jie Jin’s pretentious journey

Chapter 396: Jie Jin’s pretentious journey

Xie Jin has never been an honest child at heart.

It can be said that since ancient times, anyone with a high IQ who is called a child prodigy has always had something different from ordinary people.

Because they were exposed to knowledge prematurely that their peers would never have access to.

At the same time, because of their IQ, they can always see something different from others.

Therefore, they instinctively stand out from the crowd and are incomparable to their peers, and even to ordinary people in the future.

The gap in knowledge and ideas between them and ordinary people, as well as the loneliness of being sober while everyone else is drunk, always leaves them with a suppressed madness in their hearts.

Jie Jin, that’s it!
In the past, it was not that he did not know the dangers of officialdom, let alone the ways of the world.

Therefore, he indulged in brothels, was greedy for wine and lust, and seemed to have started to be dissolute at a young age.

In fact, he just couldn't find anyone to talk to or talk to.

Recently, thanks to the excitement of drinking and the topic of "Jin Ping Mei", the tipsy Xie Jin finally broke out.

He stood unabashedly on the side of "Jin Ping Mei" and clearly waved the flag and cheered for this "wonderful book".

Because, in his opinion, the author named Lanling Xiaoxiaosheng must be an unconventional person.

These seniors who clearly use their pens as well as swords and can speak their minds freely prefer to hide their thoughts among a lot of romantic affairs and laughter and curses.

For this reason, Xie Jin felt that this person must be someone who indulged in brothels like himself but had a clear mind.

This kind of thing of speaking out for a close friend who has never met, taking advantage of today's occasion and today's drunkenness, Xie Jin started to explode.

Without even looking at Xu Danian, who was already turning purple, Xie Jin once again drank up the drink that was brought to his mouth boldly, leaned back slightly, and began to express his views in an extremely uninhibited and cheerful manner.

"Everyone, if you think about it, you will know. When reading the book Jin Ping Mei, do you occasionally feel like you are thinking about a certain sentence?"

"Come on, come on, I have a good memory. Let me mention a few sentences that flashed across the page in The Plum in the Golden Vase."

"Winnings and losses, prosperity and loss, destiny are all determined by the years, months, days and times."

"Since ancient times, people have been good for a thousand days, and as expected, the flowers will be red without being plucked."

"Misfortune comes from reluctance, and troubles come from being unable to bear it."

“Helping people may not lead to the sky; pushing people may not fill the ravines.”

"Guys, these few sentences seem to be just common sayings in casual conversation. But when you taste them carefully, do you suddenly find that these words are particularly reasonable?"

As soon as Xie Jin said these words, everyone was startled, and then many people's expressions changed.

They are naturally familiar with the book Jin Ping Mei.

Even though this book has just come out and is still being published in newspapers, we don’t even know the subsequent plot.

But as long as it has been published, they are not familiar with it.

After all, it is so difficult to find a book that is interesting enough these days.

Precisely because they were familiar with each other, when Xie Jin mentioned these sentences in isolation, everyone could more or less quickly recall the origin of these "warning words".

When looking at it, it seems that these words are just like the casual instructions and instructions of the elders, just going in one ear and out the other.

But if you take them out and put them together, they will be different instantly.

Not every book can contain such warnings, and not everyone can put these words into a book without any fuss and as if casually.

You know, they are so familiar with this book and have read it at least four or five times.

But they had never had such a perverted memory like Jie Jin, and they couldn't forget it with photographic memory. They didn't realize that there were so many words in it that became more and more interesting the more they read. What does this mean?
On the one hand, it shows that the writing in other parts of the book is wonderful enough, otherwise it would not be enough for them to ignore these wonderful sentences.

On the other hand, the author's writing power is really scary.

These sentences are hidden in it almost without any fuss, so that you can read it naturally without feeling that there is anything inappropriate about it.

Xie Jin looked at everyone's thoughtful expressions and rubbed his hands proudly.

"After saying these sentences, think about it again, who is this Ximen Qing?"

"Not to mention that he has all the five poisons. He has greed, anger and ignorance, but he has no fame and no military exploits."

"But it just happened that he was such a pervert, with a huge fortune and a wide circle of friends, and in the end he actually became an official!"

"Then, if you think about his performance before and after he became an official, you will find that Ximen Qing is simply too pure!"

Everyone was in an uproar when they heard this.

Ximen Qing?
purely?

Seeing everyone's surprised looks, Xie Jin smiled.

"how?"

"What's wrong?"

"There's nothing wrong with being pure, right?"

"Then Ximen Qing is simply evil!"

"Before he became an official, he colluded with officials and businessmen. He obviously hooked up with Pan Jinlian and poisoned Wu Da, but in the end nothing happened."

"After he became an official, Miao Qing, who was looking for money and death, came to him and paid a large bribe, but he still kept Miao Qing safe and sound!"

"It can be said that he has never felt that being an official requires loyalty and serving the country. In his eyes, if you have money, you can become an official, and becoming an official is to make money more conveniently and openly!"

"Isn't such a person who is evil from beginning to end pure?"

Everyone was speechless.

If you want to say that, then Ximen Qing is really it!
Ximen, a high official, is very sober in the world.

Apart from making money, he is just a horny man, and all he thinks about is the things in his crotch.

But incidentally, anyone who has read the book will not envy the high officials of Ximen.

Especially those of them who were successful in the imperial examination.

Although everyone was scolding them for being disrespectful, unfaithful and unfilial, in the dead of night, weren't they still so envious that their saliva was almost drooling?
In terms of identity, Ximen Qing is just a businessman, and his background is in the mud. However, all of them have succeeded in the imperial examinations and are properly qualified civil servants;

In terms of rank, Ximen Qing is just a minor official. In front of them, he is not even qualified to call himself a subordinate official;

But it was such a person who was not as good as them in everything, but he turned into a person that they envied.

Even if he dies, he will die romantically.

Envy?
Of course I envy you!

But now after being reminded by Xie Jin, they suddenly remembered.

Could this be the author’s intention?

Let's wait and see, how evil can an official be?
Xie Jin drank a glass of wine with a smile and sighed proudly.

"You're so cool pretending to be a pretender today!"
