Chapter Seventy-Five: Familiarity
He Yaqing said angrily: "It's all at this time, you still have to hide it!" As he spoke, he quietly stuffed the purse in his sleeve into Xu Jinting's hand, and said hatefully, "Look at what this is!" ”
Xu Jinting opened the purse, and the golden hairpin was still hidden, and there were still green silk and nails hidden in it, and he was suddenly dumbfounded. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info
He still wanted to pretend to be stupid, but he heard He Yaqing say sadly on the side: "I borrowed your eldest brother's codex and went back, so I might as well have this in it." He hasn't been to school for more than half a month, and I don't have anywhere to ask, so why don't you tell me what's going on? ”
He Yaqing said again: "For this, my family thought I was going out to put an outer room, and I asked you to explain it to me." ”
Xu Jinting was in a cold sweat, he gritted his teeth, and whispered, "Follow me." ”
He led the horse and took He Yaqing all the way down the trail to a courtyard at the back of Xiao Tianshui Alley.
When he arrived at the door, he hesitated for a moment and said, "This matter hinders the reputation of the eldest brother......
He Yaqing didn't wait for him to finish speaking, and swore: "Don't worry, this matter has caught my eyes and will not come out of my mouth." ”
Xu Jinting stepped forward and knocked on the door, and after a while, the door opened a small crack, and a seven or eight-year-old girl poked her head out.
The yard is very small, with only two or three houses, but it is also well equipped. Xu Jinting led He Yaqing to the middle room, the door was not closed, and the furnishings in the door were already clear at a glance.
There was a chair, a desk, and a low bookshelf, all made of bamboo, and it looked very simple. That's not all, the room was less than a foot square, and it looked cramped and cramped.
Now that it is almost summer, it is noon, He Yaqing has been sweating early on the way, and the lighting in the room is poor and stuffy. As soon as he entered the door, he felt like he had entered a steamer, sticky, wet and hot, and the cloth was wet with sweat and sticking to the meat, which was annoying and dry.
Xu Jinze was sitting in this steamer-like room, and when he saw his younger brother and his classmates come in, he put down the book he was holding in his hand and calmly got up to greet him.
"Why is Yaqing here?" He said in a calm and relaxed manner, as if the place where he sat was not this humble room, but a palace of golden splendor.
He Yaqing was in a complicated mood, he silently took out the purse, put it on the desk, and said, "I borrowed your codex last time, I think you forgot it in the book." ”
Xu Jinze's face turned red when he saw the purse, and he hurriedly stretched out his hand to take it, pinched it, and then put it in his sleeve, and said, "I was too anxious to leave it in the book, so I looked for it for a while......"
He Yaqing didn't say much to him, and said straightforwardly: "You have been living outside for half a decade now, and you don't go to class, and you thought you were seriously ill during school, and I was saying that I would come to visit you in a few days." How do you want to be, you don't want even your parents and relatives for the sake of a woman, do you? ”
Xu Jinze said: "The kindness of my parents cannot be forgotten, and the brotherhood has not dared to give up, but Sheng Niang is alone in that dirty place, if I don't try to save her from fire and water, wouldn't I be a man in vain!" ”
He Yaqing didn't refute him, but only asked, "How to rescue?" ”
Xu Jinze said after a while: "I have to come forward to redeem Shengniang for my mother......"
He Yaqing only looked at him.
Xu Jinting listened to it for a long time, and he couldn't hold it back, and he couldn't help blurting out at this moment, "The eldest brother is so reckless, he wants his mother to help, why bother to confront her in front of her, and make trouble in this field." ”
More than half a month has passed since the incident, but Xu Jinze's anger has not subsided, but in front of outsiders, it is naturally impossible for him to say bad things about his mother, so he has to sigh and remain silent.
He still remembers that when he talked to his mother about this incident that day, the other party was quiet on the surface, but secretly sent someone to warn Sheng Niang's behavior.
I don't know what insults the people who went to, Sheng Niang voted that night, if it wasn't for the maid to find out in time, there would be no life at this moment.
He had obviously told his mother that Sheng Niang was not such a light woman, but she wanted to make such a subordinate, which really made him cold.
"You can't stay in this square inch for the rest of your life." He Yaqing asked, "If you really plan for that woman, you shouldn't fall out with your family, with your white body, you can't even support yourself, how can you live?" ”
Xu Jinze had already thought about it, and said calmly: "I have discussed with Sheng Niang, I will go down next year, and I will speak again when I have an official body." ”
He left home in a hurry, and walked awkwardly, taking only a few scattered coins with him. Because of the strict order given by the mother in the house, one of the people around him did not dare to come out with him, and for most of the month, no matter what food, clothing, housing and transportation were all taken care of by Sheng Niang. Although he is a son, he is not a fireworks, so he naturally knows that this is not a long-term solution.
Xu Jinze thought that He Yaqing was just impulsive, but when he saw that he actually took out his future to gamble, he was already scared into a cold sweat, and said in shock: "You are crazy!" Mr. said that you have the best talent, and deliberately wanted to press you for a few years so that you could win the championship in one fell swoop, and you ended up in a hurry this time, didn't you waste all the hard work in the middle school at home?! ”
Xu Jinze can write poetry at the age of three, and can write at the age of five, he is an excellent reading seed, from childhood to adulthood, in addition to Xu's house, his grandfather's family also poured a lot of manpower and material resources into him.
It is not difficult to get a jinshi with Xu Jinze's talent, but if you want to stand out from the talents of the whole country and dominate the world, how easy is it!
He went down early to get Jinshi, which was really irresponsible for the family.
Xu Jinting also heard his brother say this plan for the first time, he was born in a family, and he knew a little bit about the Taoism in the officialdom, so he hurriedly said: "What's the use of taking Jinshi, without the help of the family, even if you have an official body, you don't have a shortage to make up!" If you put it in that poor place of mountains and bad waters, will you really never go home in this life?! ”
Like the previous dynasties, there were many officials in the Great Wei Dynasty, and there were often five or six officials rushing to fill the vacancies for a real position, and there was no family backstage, so they often waited for several years and may not be able to get a good vacancy. He Yaqing regarded the opinions of the clan as nothing, and went to fetch the Jinshi by himself, which was equivalent to breaking with the family, where would there be someone to help him operate.
Xu Jinze is also a child of an official eunuch, and he only knows more about officialdom, so he naturally knows the importance of it, and he was about to answer, when he suddenly heard a woman's voice at the door.
"Xu Lang is outstanding in learning, and he must be auspicious."
He Yaqing looked at the door, only to see a woman standing by the door, she was only fifteen or sixteen years old, dressed very plainly, but her appearance was outstanding, she stood slim, looking like a weak willow, people couldn't help but feel pity.
He Yaqing frowned.
He always felt that this woman was so familiar.
