Don’t be too poisonous to the concubine of the Wu family who was born in Wu

Chapter 3030 87. Flowers in the Mirror and Moon in the Water (Rong Xiucai and Hao Xiucai bid farewell by the river)
  "Brother Rong, have you really figured it out this time? Do you want to give up the imperial examination?"

During the season when peach blossoms were in full bloom, the two scholars parted on the shore. Hao Xiu, a classmate and friend, felt it was a pity that Rong Xiucai suddenly changed his mind and gave up the scientific examination.

After all, this Rong scholar's literary talent was really outstanding in their academy. If it weren't for his poor family and no one to help him in his career, his literary talent would have already made great contributions to Dongcang.

Hao Xiucai knew very well Rong Xiucai's noble nature and his unwillingness to admit defeat. Otherwise, he would not have been obsessed with scientific examinations for so many years.

But it's strange, why is Rong Xiucai's extraordinary literary talent always not appreciated by the examiners?

His literary talent was mediocre. Although he was good at family affairs, he did not want to make any achievements in his official career. If he were not the eldest son in the family and could not inherit the family business, he would have to find another way. He, Hao Xiucai, would not choose the imperial examination. One way.

Who would have thought that he was not a material for learning. He and Rong Xiucai met at Hanlin Academy. Although they had different backgrounds and different studies, they had the right temperament. The elders in Hao Xiucai's family saw that Rong Xiucai was a talented person. Although his family was not in good condition, the child had great energy, so they hoped that Rong Xiucai could help Hao Xiucai in his studies, so that their children could improve academically. Make some progress.

However, things always come as they wish, and learning this kind of thing sometimes requires understanding and instinct. People who are born with deficiencies and are too lazy to work hard have no chance of learning.

Hao Xiucai is such a person. His family environment is good. As long as he is protected by his ancestors, he will have nothing to worry about in his life. There is no need to study hard.

Therefore, his life is like this, everything is very little, he does not seek to make any big achievements, he just wants not to fall behind others.

Hao Xiucai knew that he was an out-and-out bastard in the imperial examination, so whether he could pass high school or not was all a matter of luck.

But he, Rong Xiucai, was different. He was a really ambitious and good young man. It was unforgivable that he failed to pass the imperial examination.

However, in this night, Rong Xiucai's concept had such an earth-shaking change. This surprised Hao Xiucai, so he asked out of curiosity. "Brother Hao, don't be surprised. In fact, I should have realized it as early as the last scientific examination. Even though I am talented, I have not been able to win. This proves one thing that my talent is not suitable for officialdom. It's just that I was too motivated at that time and insisted on continuing to waste time on this imperial examination. Now that I think about it, it's ridiculous. How can we poor people be allowed to enter your wealthy place? Even after we forcefully squeeze in. ? Our talents will only be buried, and if a small character like me with no foundation does not learn to go with the flow, I will be corrupted by power... This is not the result I want to study. If so, why should I do it? What about persistence and officialdom?”

Hearing this, Hao Xiucai was stunned for a moment. He did not expect that Rong Xiucai could say such words with a relaxed expression. It seemed that he had really given up his obsession and decided to start over.

"Brother Rong, have you been hit hard? Tomorrow is the start of the scientific examination...but you are giving up at this moment? Do you know how much preparation you have made for tomorrow?"

"Haha~ Thank you Brother Hao for reminding me. Of course I know how much preparation I have made for this day, but... after I see the reality clearly, I feel that this officialdom is not such a good choice. Everyone thinks that as long as I pass Reliability can make a carp jump over the dragon's gate, but I have forgotten my origin. I was born in a poor family, and the environment I grew up in is different from those rich and wealthy young men. I can never be sincere when dealing with them. The reality gap will make my life extremely tiring. , whenever this person has desires and comparisons, he will lose himself. Why bother to force integration if the circles are different? I should have realized the environment of my life long ago, should not have so many extravagant hopes, and returned to my life early "The right way to live is to work hard for the people around me who really need me."

Seeing that Rong Xiucai had made up his mind, Hao Xiucai knew that no matter what he said, he could not bring him back. He was extremely reluctant to let go, but he still turned it into a feeling of friendship and only hoped that the other party could live well.

"Since Brother Rong has made up his mind, then... Hao will no longer advise Brother Rong. However, I wonder what Brother Rong's plans are in the future?"

Rong Xiucai sighed softly, and then slowly expressed his thoughts: "I have been coming to Di Jiuli for many years, and I have only seen dozens of academies opened here. The top teachers in the East Cang gather here, and my hometown What? Those children who want to study and change their lives have no chance to come into contact with knowledge. Their lives can only copy the lives of their parents. They only know that they can face the loess and turn their backs to the sky, but they do not know that they can achieve success through knowledge. People can change their destiny - they can be poor in body, but they must not be poor in heart. Once the heart is poor, there is really no hope in this life. But I hope to use the knowledge I have learned over the years to try to educate and change The thoughts of individuals in our small places allow them to be influenced by culture, and allow those children who dare not even think about going out of the mountains to rely on their own abilities to go out of the mountains and see what the outside world is like. People can only see prosperity. Only then can we realize our humbleness, step out of the mountains, learn more knowledge, and then return to the mountains, use knowledge to change the mountains, and make our hometown truly wealthy..."

Hearing this, Hao Xiucai was actually bewitched by the ideals woven by Rong Xiucai's words. His mind began to have wild thoughts. A characteristic town and a beautiful countryside slowly took shape in his mind.

"Wonderful! It would be great if Brother Rong had such an idea. Instead of being in trouble in Di Jiuli, which is full of talents, it is better to return to his hometown early and do his part to build his hometown. Even though he cannot be an official, he can govern Although we are in a small place, we can influence the thoughts of the next generation through our thoughts and contribute to the construction of our country. From this point of view, Brother Rong has chosen an excellent path~"

Rong Xiucai smiled and nodded, and said happily: "Yes, because I figured this out, I suddenly became enlightened overnight, and I felt that I had new hope in my life. Instead of living depressed, I would rather It is liberating for me to find a way to live a life that makes me feel pure in my heart. Furthermore, fallen leaves return to their roots, and there are so many students who have struggled to seek official positions. Although they have achieved their wishes, they are no longer connected to their hometown, and they have to travel there all year round. Even if I think about it, I can only keep it silently in my heart... And what about me? If I go back this time, I can protect the pure land in my hometown in a down-to-earth manner, why not?"
