"The humble house is shabby, which makes Han Ren smile." Huang Jian said to Li Sanjian with a smile.

"The professor is so poor, and the students admire it." Li Sanjian hurriedly said.

Li Sanjian finally knew why Huang Lian was in Guizhou, it turned out that Huang Lian had made remarkable achievements after grinding and investigation, and he had been transferred to Guizhou Jiedu Judge, and the former Guizhou Jiedu Judge Hu Wenhai had been promoted to the post of Quan Zhiguizhou, and Yin Mochuan, the former Guizhou Zhizhou, had been transferred to other places.

After Huang Jian was transferred to Guizhou as the judge of the festival, he did not have his own private house in Guizhou at all, but lived in a house in Guizhou, and the household utensils were extremely simple, which was extremely poor, which made Li Sanjian sigh with emotion.

Li Sanjian stayed in Kaifeng Mansion in Song Tokyo for three years, and it is not that he has not seen the luxury and pomp of Song officialdom, Li Sanjian has never seen such a poor Song official, so poor that it can be said that the family is surrounded by four walls, poor as a wash, not to mention the simple utensils, even inviting Li Sanjian to feast and drink is also his Hun family personally cooked, made a few ordinary meals, and prepared the wine is also the usual Lingnan fruit wine, which makes Li Sanjian moved and admired.

Such an incorruptible official is really rare, Li Sanjian secretly said in his heart, the imperial court actually placed such an incorruptible official in Lingnan and did not transfer it to the court for reuse, it was really blind...

Li Qingzhao's father Li Gefei is an official with a good official reputation, but Li Gefei is not like Huang Lian, Li Gefei's family is very solid, and there are servants accompanying him when he goes in and out, so he is still more pompous.

Li Sanjian thought of Li Gefei at this time, and couldn't help but think of Li Qingzhao, a lovely woman, at this time the two had already made up their minds, and they were waiting for Li Sanjian to come to the door to propose, and Li Sanjian was also considering that if the tribute went well, let Fu Erniang come to the door to propose, and there was only one last step between the two.

Li Sanjian thought of the beautiful and lovely and versatile Li Qingzhao, and couldn't help but smile.

"Brother Han Ren, what are you smirking at?" Zeng Gongming, who was sitting with him on the side, pushed Li Sanjian and said.

After Zeng Gongming returned to Lingnan from Kaifeng Mansion, his father asked someone to find Zeng Gongming an errand in the yamen, and he was a Xu official.

"Professor, the student acted in a hurry and did not prepare a salute, please forgive the professor." Li Sanjian then said to Huang Lian.

According to common sense, when Li Sanjian returned to Guizhou, he should prepare a generous gift to thank his teacher, but Li Sanjian had no extra money to give gifts, and the second was that Li Sanjian did not know that Huang Jian was in Guizhou.

"Han Ren, you." Huang Jian shook his head when he heard this, and said, "Jingshi didn't stay for a few years, but he learned such red tape? Did you know that the friendship of gentlemen is as light as water? ”

"The students were taught." Li Sanjian laughed awkwardly when he heard this.

When Zeng Gongming heard this, he couldn't help but gloat at Li Sanjian.

Zeng Gongming was also a student of Huang Lian, and after he was transferred to Guizhou, he became an official under Huang Lian, so Zeng Gongming also prepared a generous gift, but he was directly kicked out by Huang Lian, and the official position that he finally got was almost lost, which was extremely embarrassing.

Seeing this, Li Sanjian, who was kneeling with Zeng Gongming, pinched Zeng Gongming's fat leg with his hand, which hurt Zeng Gongming's teeth.

Huang Lian looked at the two people who were messing around, and shook his head, both of them were Huang Lian's students, but the two of them were successfully solved together in the previous tribute, but they fell together together, which made Huang Lian regret.

The only difference between the two is that Zeng Gongming became an officialdom after he became a Lingnan official, and it seemed that he did not plan to pay tribute again, while Li Sanjian returned to Guizhou three years later and was ready to respond again, which made Huang Jian very happy.

Perseverance and perseverance, only in this way can great things be achieved, Huang Jian said secretly in his heart.

"The students are really ashamed of their shallow knowledge and poor contributions, and they have failed to live up to the expectations of their professors." Li Sanjian then arched his hand and said.

Huang Jian had said to Li Sanjian before entering the city that there were some things that Li Sanjian had not explained, so Li Sanjian said so at this time.

"I've seen all the papers in your Rite Exam." Huang Lian nodded when he heard this: "Decent ones, only the articles in the current affairs policy are quite exciting, according to common sense, there should be no problem with going smoothly, but you were dethroned, do you know what the reason is?" ”

Li Sanjian was silent when he heard this, he had already talked with Zeng Buchang, the minister of the current dynasty, and he had been in Duanwangfu for so long, how could he not know what the reason was? It's just that his own article dislikes the people in power above. doll

So Li Sanjian thought for a while and replied: "The student has already understood the truth of the matter, but it is just a slanderous article. ”

"Slander?" Huang Jian said with a smile when he heard this: "In this case, how do you plan to deal with it this time?" If you do something that is not slanderous, you may be able to do it again, and of course you can do flattering things, and maybe you can go smoothly. ”

What does he mean? Li Sanjian looked at Huang Lian's smiling face, and secretly guessed whether Huang Lian was making fun of himself, despising himself, or admonishing himself?

"The student didn't think about it this time." Li Sanjian couldn't guess what Huang Jian meant, so he also replied ambiguously: "The text of the imperial examination is just a question and an answer." ”

At a young age, he also looks old and spicy, young and old, and the answer is not leaky, Huang Lian feels secretly funny.

"It's not your fault that the article doesn't smell good." Huang Jian then said to Li Sanjian: "In Beijing for a few years, you must have also learned some of the current situation of the imperial court, at present, the people of Yuanfeng are in control of the government, and all the people of Yuanyou are expelled from the court, and the scholars of the world are all imitated, those who follow me are prosperous, those who oppose me die, and the same is true for tribute, those who are favored by it can reach the first, otherwise they will fall, Han Ren, what do you think at this time?" ”

These words should have been said to Li Sanjian a long time ago, Huang Jian secretly said in his heart, if he woke up Li Sanjian one step earlier, then Li Sanjian might be able to reach the first, but Huang Jian was in the same contradiction at this time as before, on the one hand, Huang Jian hoped that Li Sanjian could successfully enter the department, on the other hand, Huang Jian did not want Li Sanjian to become such a person, to become a flattering person who only knew how to meet.

Li Sanjian was silent when he heard this, he already understood what Huang Jian meant, this tribute is the same as the previous time, the person in power is the same as Yuanfeng, the court is the same as Zhang Dian, and the emperor is the same as Zhang Dian, so even if Li Sanjian can be successfully solved in Guizhou, then it is very likely that he will fall again in the subsequent rite test, of course, the premise is that Li Sanjian still adheres to his own point of view and still adheres to his own style.

But at this time, even if Li Sanjian changes a little, even if Li Sanjian no longer insists, can things be improved? The answer is no, Li Sanjian thought about it, maybe Li Sanjian has been branded as a member of the Yuanyou Party in Zhang Dian's heart, and he is still more impressed, so does Li Sanjian still have a chance?

So is it necessary for Li Sanjian to adhere to the road of tribute at this time? Is it still possible to "once the world hears about it"? The answer is also no, since it is negative, then why does Li Sanjian insist on returning to Guizhou and responding again? This question is not only difficult for Huang Lian, Zeng Gongming and others to understand, but even Li Sanjian has no answer in his heart.

"Why don't I stop there? From then on, he returned to his hometown, returned to the countryside, and no longer asked how the world was? Li Sanjian then asked stupidly.

As soon as Li Sanjian said this, he immediately made Huang Jian and Zeng Gongming laugh, at a young age, not yet twenty years old, he returned to his hometown?

"Haha" Zeng Gongming couldn't help laughing: "It's not enough to return to the countryside, with Brother Han Ren's talent, how about getting an official and a half-job in Lingnan?" My brother is really lonely in Guizhou, so how about asking Brother Han Ren to stay? ”

After Zeng Gongming finished speaking, his eyes showed an unusually eager look, and he sincerely hoped that Li Sanjian could stay in Guizhou, and his expression was extremely sincere, which made Li Sanjian secretly moved in his heart.

Since Li Sanjian came to this world, he has only one friend, Zeng Gongming, the only close friend, and Li Sanjian cherishes this friendship very much.

But how is it possible to stay in Lingnan? Li Sanjian secretly said in his heart, his mother Fu Erniang and others are still in Kaifeng Mansion in Tokyo, and they are still hostage in Duanwang Mansion, if Li Sanjian stays in Guizhou for too long, it will definitely arouse the suspicion of Duanwang Zhao Ji, then Fu Erniang and others will be in danger. Although Duan Wang Zhao Ji attaches more importance to Li Sanjian, for Zhao Ji's major events, for Zhao Ji's own safety, Li Sanjian is a chess piece that can be discarded at any time, and Li Sanjian understands this very well.

At the same time, the first woman Li Sanjian has liked since he came to this world, Li Qingzhao, is still waiting for him in Kaifeng Mansion at this time, and Li Sanjian is really unwilling to give up everything.

Li Sanjian was full of thoughts, and after a long time, he said slowly: "Thank you Donglin for your kindness, but I, Li Sanjian, am this character, that is, the character of not hitting the south wall and vowing not to look back, even if I hit the south wall, I will never look back." Although my mother is a Li person, she also knows how to persevere, no matter how difficult the family is, she has been persevering, and now often teaches me that a person must be unyielding and unwavering in any situation. Professor Huang also said that Tianxingjian, a gentleman is constantly striving for self-improvement. The terrain is good, the gentleman carries things with virtue, so that no matter what, no matter under any circumstances, a person must insist on following his own path, as for success or failure, it is up to God's will, once not twice, twice not three times, what the result is, the world has its own justice. ”

Li Sanjian spoke very slowly, and his voice was low, but his attitude was unusually firm.

In my previous life, I couldn't bear the frustration ... Could it be that God has given me a second chance, and can I give up again?

Mother Fu Erniang lost her husband and two sons at a young age, but she did not give up, she has been insisting, as Li Sanjian grows older, Li Sanjian is more and more pity for his mother, more and more admiration for his mother's iron will.

Huang Jian and Zeng Gongming were silent when they heard this, and they were deeply shocked by Li Sanjian's words.

"Han Ren." After a long time, Huang Lian spoke: "The world is unpredictable, and things are not beyond the point of salvation. ”

Li Sanjian was suddenly a little surprised when he heard this, and he didn't know what Huang Jian meant.
