It was not only the dog that lost his strength, but Dongmen Qing also relaxed when the victory came, and this relaxation made the whole person collapse.

In the past eighteen years, his spirit has never been concentrated for such a long time, and although his physique is strong, he has never been in a state of tension day and night like these days. So after the dog was subdued, before the North Korean official army landed, he had lost the strength to support and fell down, and his last consciousness was to hear Li Chun's exclamation vaguely, followed by a pair of thin hands to support himself.

"Well, he's there...... I should be able to get some sleep. Dongmenqing was refreshed before he fell, and he could have supported it, but this thought increased his tiredness, and he fell into a deep sleep.

In a drowsy state, he seemed to have returned to Quanzhou and returned to Qingxiangju, several faces in front of him kept flickering, there was the fierce father, the eldest brother with a blurred face, the second brother who was very good to him, and the third brother who was not very good to him, followed by his mother, Mrs. Lin, and next to Mrs. Lin, there was also a brother who was the best with himself - Dongmen Kang, who followed him at all times.

"Smack!" Dongmen Qing was beaten on his hand - it was his grandfather's board. At that time, he couldn't memorize the book, so he was beaten, but before him, his uncle Lin Wenzhen and his younger brother Dongmen Kang all memorized it.

"I don't like these ......," Dongmen Qing thought to himself, but his grandfather still forced him to read it.

"Actually, grandpa loves you more......" That was Dongmen Kang's words to him, why did he remember it? Still muttering in my dreams......

Everything in the dream seems to be memories, some disorganized memories.

"Brother, I'm just your own brother, you have to help."

That was the call of Dongmen Kang. Dongmen Kang is different from other brothers, Dongmen Qing's three elder brothers Dongmen Ying, Dongmen Du, and Dongmen Xu were all born to Dongmen Ba's deceased ex-wife, and now Dongmen Ba's main room Mrs. Lin is the concubine of Fujian Confucian Lin Xiyuan, Dongmen Ba is married to welcome her into the door after the death of the original Liu, and gave birth to three children after passing the door, the youngest one died young, among several brothers, Dongmen Qing only has Dongmen Kang, the same brother, so the relationship between the brothers is very different than others.

Mrs. Lin is gone, the eldest brother, the second brother, and the third brother are gone, the fierce father is gone, and the stereotypical and deep grandfather is gone.

"Brother, I beg you for one thing...... You asked Dad not to force me to take the exam. ”

"What? Why don't you take the exam? On the island, Dongmen Qing muttered.

Li Chun wiped his sweat on the side and exclaimed, "Master! You can talk! But he couldn't understand what Dongmen Qing was saying.

Dongmenqing didn't wake up, his voice was hoarse, but it was obvious that he was talking: "It's easy for our family to produce such a talent as you, why don't you take the test?" ”

"Xiucai?" But Hideyoshi Sato understands! He was originally dealing with the interrogation of the North Korean officers and soldiers outside, but at this time, he just sneaked in to take a look, but he didn't expect to hear Dongmen Qing talking in his sleep!

"You're also a showman, why don't you go to the exam? But to be the official of this house? In the dream, Dongmen Kang asked rhetorically.

Then Sato Hideyoshi listened to Dongmen Qing say: "I, a showman, half rely on Meng, half rely on my grandfather's face, and I also took the penultimate exam, and I lost my grandfather's face." Where is like you, if you have real talent and real learning, you will be third in the first test. Besides, I don't take this exam for anything else, it's just to have a reputation and do things better in the future......"

These words were said clearly in the dream, but they were half vague in his mouth, but Sato Hideyoshi still heard a few of the key words clearly: "He is a showman!" He turned out to be a showman! He took the imperial examination when he was in the Ming Dynasty...... If so, why did he go to sea? Why do you have to suffer? He looked at Dongmenqing, and the suspicion in his heart deepened by two points.

"Brother, I also want to be like you, anyway, I have a fame, and if I find a shortage in the future, it will be easier to do things." Dongmen Kang's Baguwen is better than Dongmen Qing, and Dongmen Ba and others also have greater expectations for him in the imperial examination, unlike Dongmen Qing. Dongmenqing's knowledge is very mixed, although since he was a child, he will always be sent to his grandfather Lin Xiyuan's house for formal training in Confucianism every year for one or two months, and a few years ago he invited Li Baizhai as a teacher, but he himself is not very interested in Baguwen.

"Don't be stupid." Dongmenqing said: "Not to mention that Quanzhou Mansion has been lacking in recent years, even if there is a shortage of good, it is not as promising as the entrance examination." ”

Sato Hideyoshi said in his heart: "Quanzhou! He turned out to be from Quanzhou......"

"Take the test! It's easy to take a show, but it's difficult to be a lifter, and then you want to get a jinshi, I don't know if it's okay, even if it's okay, I don't know when it's going to happen! is to become a jinshi and an official, either to suffer in the capital, or to go to other provinces to suffer, how young can you get through? Now that I'm a showman, that's enough. I don't want to be a lifter anymore, I want to be like you, find a shortage, just in my hometown, I want the wind to be windy, to be rainy, how good it is. ”

"Silly brother," Dongmen Qing said: "The status of an official is incomparable to that of an official." And the officials who came from the imperial examination are not comparable to those who came from other ways. Isn't it foolish for you to give up this opportunity? As for suffering, if you are an official of the Qingshui Yamen in Beijing, your family will have their own money to help you. Even if you go to another province, your family will also pay for you to help you get a good way, so you don't have to worry about this. ”

"Be an official...... Being an official ......" Hideyoshi Sato muttered, "What are he talking about being an official?" He also spoke, but not in Korean, so Li Chun didn't know what he was talking about.

In Dongmenqing's dream, his younger brother finally mustered up the courage and said: "Brother, in fact, when I go to take the imperial examination, it is just one step in my father's entire chess game, and I am just a chess piece in my father's hand, right?" ”

Dongmen Kang is only sixteen years old, a sixteen-year-old smart boy, it is not surprising that he was admitted to a show, but Dongmen Qing didn't expect this younger brother to think of this level of problems, this is already a big problem involving the political layout of the entire family, Dongmen Qing's lips moved, but he didn't make a sound - even if it was hoarse, he didn't say anything! Dongmen Ba is a person who has been in the torture room, and his sons have been trained to keep secrets since they were children, and they even have reservations in this stupor, and they did not reveal the answer in the dream, Sato Hideyoshi put his ear close, but he didn't hear a word clearly!

In the dream, Dongmen Qing corrected his younger brother: "Ah Kang, that's right, if you talk about chess pieces, we are all chess pieces, but this chess game is not just Daddy's, but our entire Dongmen family." The second brother is in charge of the Quanzhou Mansion Workshop, and his business mainly cooks at home; The third brother is in charge of the Jinjiang County Torture Room, and his business is mainly overseas. The eldest brother is in the capital to inquire about the news, the old man is sitting in Quanzhou, and I have all the plans for all parties. What we need now is a 'nobleman'! And you just happen to have a good chance of coming from the imperial examination! Ah Kang, with our family's current financial resources and connections, as long as you can be born in the same jinshi, the family can push you to a peak in your career, and the family also needs you to bring our family's prestige and status to the top. Now our Dongmen family is rich enough, and the local power is big enough, but we still dare not openly say that we are the first-class family in the world, why? Just because we lack a noble person who is the leading figure! And this head, we hope to be you! ”

But Dongmen Kang was not moved by Dongmen Qing's words, and still said: "The head character, the head character, if you can do it, then it is naturally the head character." But if you can't pass the test, it's waste! I don't think I have much chance of getting in. Besides, now that the southeast is surging in the wind, no one knows what the situation will be tomorrow, and I don't want to cover my head for that glimmer of opportunity to learn Baguwen! Brother, I'm afraid, I'm afraid that I will never fall in it and never get out! I don't know how long you've been patient with me! I don't know if my family will abandon me if I can't pass the Jinshi exam...... I ......"

Dongmen Qing said: "How could the family abandon you? If you can't pass the test once, you will take the test for the second time, and if you fail the test twice, you will take the test for the third time! ”

"But what if you can't pass the test ten or eight times?" Dongmen Kang said: "People who can't pass the exam eight times out of ten times are too many in this world!" For example, the old master Xu in Jinjiang, his talent is not necessarily worse than mine! But now his beard is white, and he is still a living member! ”

Dongmen Qing said: "No, you are so smart and so young......"

"Young?" Dongmen Kang smiled bitterly: "Brother, I am young now, but in the triennial imperial examination, it will take nearly ten years to fail three times, and twenty years to fail six or seven times!" Twenty years from now I will be thirty or forty! When the time comes, if you are admitted to the Jinshi, how much future can you have? So if I want to be admitted to the Jinshi, I have to strive before the age of 30! In other words, in the three big competitions of the township test, the meeting test, and the palace test, I was allowed to fail only three or four times...... Brother, I really feel very slim! ”

"Why do you always think about the worst!" Dongmen Qing frowned, he didn't expect that he spent so much time talking Dongmen Kang still didn't open his mind, although he also knew that Dongmen Kang's words made some sense, but he was still impatient, he was an elder brother, and Dongmen Kang had been impatient since he was a child, seeing that it was getting late, he said: "I'm going to see the old man, I won't talk to you more." If you have already made up your mind that you don't want to follow the path of the imperial examination, come with me and talk to the old man. ”

Dongmen Kang said: "I just came from the study, and I showed a little tone, and when he heard it, he lost his temper, and I didn't dare to say it again." ”

Dongmen Qing said: "If this is the case, then what can I do." ”

Dongmen Kang begged: "Brother, I am just your own brother, you have to help." ”

This pleading look, Dongmen Qing actually remembered it deeply, was it because he felt guilty because he couldn't help in his heart? But he still said: "It's my brother, so you should know that I won't harm you!" Why do you always love to drill the horns! The road of the imperial examination is better than being a government official and a county official, why don't you listen to it! ”

"Is the imperial examination good?" Dongmen Kang blurted out: "If it's really good, it will definitely be your turn first!" ”

Dongmen Qingyi was stunned: "What are you talking about?" ”

Dongmen Kang said: "If there is really anything good, it will always be your turn first...... The one given to me must be inferior. ”

"Nonsense!" Dongmen Qing glared and said: "Our brothers are raised by a father and a mother, where is there any other?" ”

Dongmen Kang was glared at by Dongmen Qing, a little scared, and said, "But Dad, he loves you." He...... He thinks you're more like him! ”

"That's it!" Dongmen Qing finally called out, and Sato Hideyoshi finally heard this sentence clearly: "This matter will stop." You still study hard, and your career is serious. You're too literate, and you can't hold your sword steadily. To be an official is to cross the black and white roads, and the two ways of controlling officials and bandits are not suitable for you! But Hideyoshi Sato didn't understand what those words meant.

After calling out this sentence, Dongmen Qing didn't speak again, Li Chun touched Dongmen Qing's head and asked Sato Hideyoshi: "What did the master say just now?" ”

Hideyoshi Sato's eyes flickered, and he smiled: "No, he just said some nonsense dream words, which doesn't make much sense." ”

Li Chun's eyes revealed a look of distrust, but there was no way to verify it, Sato Hideyoshi ignored the child, looked at Dongmen Qingxin and said: "This guy seems to be not small!" His family seems to be an official. If that'......" He suddenly remembered his owner Zhao Qianhe: "Will the person surnamed Zhao actually know his origin, he gave him two loads of raw silk for no reason, maybe he also has a plan!" ”

He was groaning, but two North Korean officers and soldiers broke in, and without saying a word, they pressed him down, Li Chun jumped to the side in fright, and a Korean islander pointed at Sato Hideyoshi outside the door and said, "That's right! He's also a widow, I know. ”

Hideyoshi Sato was shocked and shouted in Korean: "No! I'm not a whammy! I...... I'm a drifter from Daming! Da Ming is a drifter! ”

"Da Ming's drifter?" An official sneered: "If you are a drifter of the Ming Dynasty, how can you still mix with these Japanese robbers on the ship?" ”

"I was shipwrecked! So ......"

"Shut up!" The official said angrily: "If you are really a Ming drifter, how can you speak Korean?" ”

Hideyoshi Sato said, "This ...... I'm here to do business......"

"Nonsense!" The officer and soldier said angrily: "You must be a widow! I can speak Korean just to be a spy! He glanced at Dongmen Qing and said, "This guy is wearing the clothes of a wolf, and he must be a wolf." ”

Li Chun was shocked and shouted, "No! No! He's not! ”

The officer said, "You are a little child! Understand! ”

Hearing this, Hideyoshi Sato's heart was cold: "They didn't see through my lies - they did it on purpose!" ”
