Transmigrating to the Ming Dynasty’s Imperial Examination

When Cui Xie came back from the National Academy, the family gave him such a big surprise, his face turned green, and he didn't speak for a long time.

Cui Liangdong shook his legs and almost knelt down for him. He lowered his head and talked about the daytime troubles. He only concealed the few words that Cui Heng scolded him and said: "The little ones don't check it for a while. , Who knows that Xiao Haijing, who is not a wicked animal, did this and other things in order to curry favor with the second brother, and caused a disturbance outside, and asked the tolerance to watch..."

No matter how much he complained, he didn't dare to take Cui Heng while he was talking, so he had to bear half of the blame.

Cui Xie sneered and asked, "Has Brother Heng go to visit his grandparents?"

Cui Liangdong wiped the sweat on his face and said, "Not yet. The younger brother watching is not in good spirits, and he is afraid that he is suffering from the disgusting law in the south. When he comes back, he asks people to ask for amulet, incense ash, cockscomb blood and Hei Gouxue helped him recover his soul, and he fell asleep when he was shocked. The old lady said before that he wanted to see his second brother, but the younger one only said that the second brother had eaten outside and that he was tired on the road and fell asleep first."

It doesn't matter if you don't ask him to see his grandparents, he has to be restrained to speak humanly, don't be angry with the old man.

Cui Xie rubbed his eyebrows, thinking about how to control Cui Heng—whether he got into trouble when he first entered Beijing, it can be said that his biological mother taught evil thoughts when he was in exile, and it was his responsibility after returning home. If he goes out and causes such a thing in the future, he, the parent, will also have to bear joint responsibility.

Shut Cui Heng first and dispose of others.

Cui Xie raised his head to look at Cui Liangdong, and asked, "Xiao Haijing said that his deed is in the hands of his second brother, not from our family? Should he go to Xu's house with his second brother?"

Without waiting for his answer, he arranged: "Since we don't want to be a member of the Cui family, we don't need it. There is no need to disturb the Xu family, pack up things for him, ask where there is a caravan fleet to Fujian, and send him off. Go to serve Lady Xu. You are also guilty of not being aware of it. You have to deduct your money for three months. Go back and reflect on what happened today. Think about what went wrong and what to do. Tomorrow, submit an examination of more than 5,000 words. give me."

Cui Liangdong was satisfied that he was able to keep his position as a steward. He was relieved and I was able to worry about other things: "If you can't find a ship to Fujian in a while, can you send someone to send him?"

Cui Xie said indifferently: "You can find it slowly. If you can't find it, you will wait until the next year, when Ju'anzhai goes to Masha to buy the book, and then send the person. During this period, he will be sent to the Zhuangzi for work. Live, change his lazy temperament, otherwise he won’t be able to settle down and serve Ms. Xu even when he gets to the frontier."

This little Haijing sent it far away, but Sun Yue, the coachman, was a decisive person and could be reused.

He asked Cui Liangdong to promote the coachman to be a small steward in Cui Heng's yard, and change a sensible and energetic servant to serve Cui Heng personally. At least he must be able to control him when he goes out. Don't be so crazy with today.

But telling him to pour such a pot of cold water from his family, knowing that he has no support, and he won't be crazy for a while.

During dinner, the old lady mentioned Cui Heng again, and Cui Xie comforted the two elders: "Second brother has been spoiled and raised in our house since he was a child. Although he did not suffer a lot when he went out, he would definitely not be as good as staying at home when he left his biological mother. Cry for a while. Not to mention that your two elders are not in good health. He is also weak now. He is really sad, afraid that he won’t cry and damage his lungs and sit down at the root of the disease. Instead, take medicine and food to nourish his body. Only when you are healthy can you withstand great sadness and joy."

Although the old lady missed this grandson, what Cui Xie said makes sense. Moreover, thinking of his mother Xu, she felt another breath and sighed in her chest, "No, let him rest first. Days have suffered, and I always have to make trouble for a few days when I come back. I can't make trouble with him, so I simply avoid him for a few days, and wait until his heart is calm."

Cui Xie smiled and said, "Grandma don't have to worry. I think Brother Heng is about the same age as when I returned to my hometown, and he has been exposed to wind and frost all the way, maybe just like me, and love to study since then?"

The old lady shook her head and smiled bitterly: "If he can change his temperament, then I really want to recite Amitabha. I'm afraid he will follow his mother's remoteness, and he will drag you down in the future..."

Cui Xie comforted the two old men a few words. After dinner, when I heard that Cui Heng woke up, he asked people to serve a half-warm porridge, and picked up some light side dishes such as dried bamboo shoots, preserved melon, vegetarian chicken rolls, rutabagas, and so on. I followed him to see him.

Cui Heng had changed his home-style clothes at this time. They were all the spring clothes he put on when he left. They were also clipped, and they were not shabby. But he himself was obviously dissatisfied. Seeing that Cui Xie brought in some food, he took a close look at his new robes and smiled gloomily: "It seems that you are shaking up in this house, dressed in new clothes. The clothes are here to show off? I have never seen the military surplus in the world. Did my mother eat less or wear less when you were at home? Once you became a family, you bullied the little master like that?"

"Military surplus" refers to those who are not in the military households, whose status is lower than that of ordinary people. In today's era where culture is more important than military affairs, it is also a vicious curse to scold a supervising student who is a decent talent.

It was the coachman who had just been promoted to enter the house with the food. He consciously blocked the mouth of the second son during the day, and he was appreciated by the older son, so he would go up and do it again.

Cui Xie raised his hand to stop him, and nodded to the table: "You put the food down, go out first, I have something to say to your second brother."

He personally poured the porridge into a bowl, pushed it towards Cui Heng, and said, "I thought you should be sensible when you go out, but don't you understand? You are the son of the fourth-grade counselor and a person who has read. My brother uttered foul language to make outsiders listen. What's bad is your own reputation and future..."

Cui Heng stared at him faintly: "What future do I have? You have all been admitted to the Imperial College, and you have been robbed of my future. What future can I have!"

Suddenly he violently picked up the bowl and wanted to splash at Cui Xie. But he didn’t want Cui Xie to sit defenselessly, but he reacted faster than he could. He grabbed the porridge bowl in his hand and threw it on the table on the spot, grabbed his neck and pushed him to the ground with one foot. Stepped on his lower back.

His strength was obtained by training with spears and swords, which was not the same as Cui Heng's strength with muscle growth during his exile.

Cui Heng told him to press his limbs horizontally, unable to roll over, he could only shout in a mute voice: "Your skin really can't be covered, it will harm me! You soldier seed, you are a nuisance, not you Come back, my father and my wife and I are doing well..."

Cui Xie sneered, tore off his belt, and said slowly: "You shout here and no one can hear you. It's better to save energy and wait until I finish teaching you so you can study."

Cui Heng struggled desperately and shouted, but only a newly appointed Sun Guanshi was staring at him. He wanted to come in and beat him up to show his loyalty. Who could come to save him?

After struggling for a long time, he couldn't turn over, so he could only let Cui Xie tear off his waistband, revealing a thin, dirty butt. Cui Xie wanted to hit him and found him dirty, so he twisted his belt into a strand and tucked it down like a butt.

Naturally, there is no whip pain when the ribbon is drawn, and the hand is not afraid of hurting people. But Cui Heng has been favored at home for many years. Even when he went out with Jin Yiwei, he suffered at most. He didn't make people take off his pants and beat him. He cried so hard that he wanted to scold Cui Xie and his ancestors for eight generations.

Cui Xie untied a handkerchief from his waist to block the mouth, and struck him as he said: "I wanted to be reasonable with you, but you are not obedient. But if you are not obedient, I have to explain why I beat you. No, I can’t tell you to go out and mess around and make trouble for the family:

"First, our family is not bad because of me, but because your biological mother, Xu, framed the imperial court order officer. This is a big case that disturbed the emperor, and she deserved it. Second, I studied at the Imperial College for the sake of the holy blessing. I went in and didn’t occupy the place of Grace, but as a Qingliu, my father would not send a person who was full of foul language and did not know the laws of the country into Guoxue; third, I am your brother, brothers have the righteousness of filial piety, you do My brother’s insulting brother, I teach you that it’s justified."

He whispered and scribbled, seeing Cui Heng crying with affection, and no more scolding, so he stopped and said: "Do you hear what I said? I'll say it again. Just click on it when you hear it clearly. Head, let me let go of your mouth, you repeat it to me, if you can’t remember, I’ll say it a few more times."

Before he said, Cui Heng nodded desperately. He took out the roll of handkerchief and threw it aside, and asked, "Do you understand the three main points I just talked about? Repeat it for me."

Cui Heng's mouth was free, and he opened his mouth to scold him again.

Cui Xie chuckled without saying anything, and sneered: "Give you the opportunity to make good use of. This is not enough to be beaten. Then I will tell you again. When will I write down and when I will let you go. Write it down to me. If there is something wrong, don't go to bed tonight. Copy a word a thousand times!"

Cui Heng wanted to be tough with him to the end, but after all, that **** was unbearable, and told him to step on the ground, his whole body was cold, and he couldn't scold someone, so he cried and asked for mercy.

When Cui Xie mentioned his collar, he lifted it up, pressed it onto the chair and said, "Eat first or write silently?"

Suddenly, Cui Heng sat down, his **** burned like a fire, wishing to jump up, but he couldn't resist his strength, so he could only eat porridge with tears in silence.

The porridge was already cold, but fortunately, he had eaten all the hardships outside. That little grandfather's pretense is nothing in the face of hunger, cold and beatings. He ate all of them.

Seeing that he had finished eating, Cui Xie threw the rag to him, told him to clean up the piece in front of him, and pushed the pen, ink, paper and inkstone found in his room over: "Write down what I just said, and make a mistake. Copy it a thousand times. Don’t sleep if you can’t finish it. I’ll just stare at you here to write.”

Cui Heng ate some cold porridge and pickles, and some of them were stabs. Cui Xiedong kicked the chair, and his **** hurt, and he knew what was wrong.

He had been pumped all night, and the pumping Cui Xie felt his arms were sore, let alone the pumping? The pain in his butt, the fear that no one came to rescue him, and the helplessness of being struggling with one foot on him, completely knocked off the ferocious breath he was holding back home.

Can't beat, can't make trouble...

Cui Heng closed his eyes and reluctantly relented: "I write! I write! I just... I have been eating for a long time, and the things I remember are a bit vague, I am afraid that the writing is wrong."

Cui Xie smiled with satisfaction, and said generously: "No matter, who told me to be the eldest brother, I want to let the junior? You don't have to write so accurately, just repeat it in your own tone, but you need to Write neatly and don't make mistakes, otherwise you will still be punished for copying a thousand times."

He took the pen and paper over, Cui Heng shook his hands, wrote a few pieces of blank paper, and finally retelled those three sentences. After checking it several times, he dared not write blank words. Cui Xie read it upside down and printed the page in PDF format in his head, flipped it to the front and read it again, nodded and said, "It's not bad, right? Why didn't you write the name? When you taught your husband homework Don't you write your name?"

Cui Heng had no choice but to mention a pen to make up the name, but the front paper was full, so he had to make up the back. Cui Xie took the paper and looked at it, then opened a box of inkpad and pressed a piece of his personal seal from the drawer on top.

Cui Heng stood up angrily and asked him, "What do you mean! How do you take my chapter..."

Cui Xie said indifferently: "You have written your paperwork and signed your name, how can you not seal it? I'm the older brother, I will cover it for you, so that you don't need to tremble and cover it unclearly."

"In the past, I thought you were young, ignorant, and didn't care about everything. Today, since you already know your sins with your biological mother, and you have written a conviction confession document, there will be people who speak ridiculously and rudely in the future. , Deliberately belittle the court law, rebellious against human relationships."

He folded several stacks of paper into his arms, his eyes circled Cui Heng's face twice, and he sneered: "When the time comes, I will not close the door again and teach you as a brother, but will call someone Opened the courtyard gate, took the family law, and the crowd took off your trousers and beat them hard!"

Cui Heng trembled and shouted: "You, you are deliberately hurting me!"

Cui Xie turned his head and shouted out the window: "Guan Shi, take the family law!"

Guan Shi agreed, and Cui Heng screamed before leaving, "Don't go! Don't go!" He yelled, thinking that the outside voice was the one who dragged him back at the door of Xu's house. After he was abandoned by the Xu family, he was afraid and ashamed, so he quickly convinced Cui Xie: "I admitted wrong, brother, don't ask them to call someone!"

At this time, the grandson has brought Cui Liangdong here, and Cui Liangdong said outside the door: "My son, we don't have a family method, can we bring a bamboo board?"

Cui Heng's legs trembled with fright, for fear that he could really beat himself.

Cui Xie asked the two to come in and looked at the bamboo in their hands, and smiled slightly: "Let's stop playing today. You have collected the tables and chairs here, and give Brother Heng a bowl of nourishing and soothing medicine."

Cui Heng sighed slightly behind the table, but there was a resentment in his eyes looking behind Cui Xie.

Guan Shi was sharp-eyed and was about to give a small report immediately, but Cui Xie shook his head at him: "It's all for today. You have to eat bite by bite, and your child will also fight. I brought my few law books, and I will stare at Brother Heng’s endorsement from tomorrow, and I will not be allowed to leave this room for a day. You also stare at him for me, and if you have such rebellious and crazy words today, wait for me to come back to teach him ."

Cui Xie walked away, went back to the room to find the "Imperial Daguo" and "The Law of Daming" and gave them to Guanshi Sun. Then he wrote a letter to Cui Langzhong who was far away in Yunnan.

The letter first reported safety for Cui Heng. By the way, the three shops in the family had no money on the counters and the turnover was not working well, so they had to sell the Nanhuo shop and barely support the other two. Finally, at the end of the letter, he asked him if he could bring some salary back this year to support his grandfather and grandmother and support their underage children.

Anyway, their family, old and weak, women and children in Beijing, had a difficult life at first. During the Chinese New Year, they pointed to the participating adults to send money. They must be unable to send things to Yunnan.
