Chapter 33: The Wu Family's Doom
It's also a shame that Liu Dongqing changed his words quickly, otherwise He Lao Wu and they would have to beat Liu Dongqing so that he didn't even know his mother.
Wu Zheng looked at Liu Dongqing is also strange, this guy looks familiar to him, and he carefully recalled the fragments of notes left by the stupid nerd in his mind, isn't this guy the Liu Dongqing that the stupid nerd knows?
"Are you Liu Dongqing? It's you! Didn't you go to the capital of God? How did you come back again? ”
"Uncle, do you know this kid?" He Lao Wu said in a low voice.
Wu Zheng nodded and said, "I know, my classmates when we studied together." ”
Hearing the word classmate, Liu Dongqing couldn't help but roll his eyes, yes, he was studying in the academy with him back then, but this was regarded as a shame in his life.
Who in Longtan County doesn't know that his ancestor surnamed Wu was a senior official, and he was in the limelight in Longtan County for a while, but unfortunately his ancestor stood on the wrong team in the temple, and as a result, he not only lost his head, but also harmed his family, so that the imperial examination was forever closed to the Wu family.
If it weren't for the pressure of someone in the court for so many years, how could the three generations of his Wu family fail to pass the exam every year? Speaking of which, the Wu family's family really seems to lack the strength in their heads, and they don't get in the middle every year, and they take the exam every year.
Liu Dongqing admired the perseverance of his Wu family, otherwise he would have changed his career a long time ago, wouldn't it be good to do some business while the ancestral business was still there? Although there is no sign of the scholarly family, it is better than losing the family business!
And now, even if your Wu family claims to be a scholar, it is useless, and the ideal of a scholar's life is the title of the gold list, but the three generations of your Wu family can't even pass the test, isn't this obviously offending the bigwigs of the DPRK and China? If this is affected by you, where can you cry out for injustice?
Therefore, the Wu family has become a scum in the eyes of scholars, and they are ostracized everywhere, and they are ashamed to be with the children of the Wu family, so Wu Zheng and his father have become a big fool in the eyes of everyone, and Wu Zheng has also become a big stick in the eyes of everyone.
This is also why Liu Dongqing subconsciously rolled his eyes when he heard Wu Zheng say that he was a classmate with him.
Although Liu Dongqing has now fallen on the big tree of Xia Yun, and his rise is just around the corner, he can completely ignore the threat of that big man, but seeing Wu Zheng roll his eyes is a habit he has developed for many years, and he really can't change it for a while.
Naturally, he didn't know these ways for the stupid nerd before, and he was bent on getting ahead, but he was worried about his time being far from good all day long.
What the stupid nerd doesn't know, Wu Zheng naturally doesn't know, and he is still a little happy to see Liu Dongqing and Wu Zheng here today.
"Brother Liu, I didn't expect you and my brother to meet in this mountain wilderness, it's really a great blessing in life. By the way, Brother Liu, I heard that you were not assassinated by Lord Shi and were promoted to the National Prison? How did you come back again? ”
Looking at Wu Zheng's appearance of beating snakes with sticks, and actually calling him brothers, Liu Dongqing couldn't help but feel sick for a while, if he hadn't seen that none of the reckless men around Wu Zheng were easy to mess with, he Liu Dongqing would have stood on this stone and scolded.
But now he could only endure the nausea and said to Wu Zheng: "Liu is now studying under Xia Shimen, and the teacher is returning to his hometown, and Liu just came back to take a look." ”
"Xia Shi? That Xia Shi? Is it famous? More powerful than the national eunuchs? ”
Liu Dongqing smiled slightly: "The family teacher Xia Yun is the teacher of His Majesty the Prime Minister. ”
Wu Zheng said to Chen Er beside him: "Do we have such a person in Longtan County?" How come I've never heard of it? ”
Chen Er scratched his head and said, "This ...... I think about it, I heard that a prodigy in our Longtan County a few decades ago seems to be surnamed Xia, and he passed the test at the age of seven and went to Shendu, so many years later, I thought he was dead! I didn't expect to be the prime minister or the emperor's teacher, and now I'm back. ”
"Brother Wu?"
"Huh! Brother Liu, what are you still standing on there, this mountain fog is very frozen, hurry up and bake the fire to warm up. ”
It's better to stand under the rocks, the wind in the canyon is blowing head-on from this station, even if he is already wearing a fur coat, he can't stand it!
Although the group of mud legs in front of him made him ashamed, the burning fire in the middle of the mud legs made him feel very kind, but Liu Dongqing still did not come down, but stood on the stone and bowed his hand to Wu Zheng condescendingly: "Thank you Brother Wu for your kindness, but the family teacher is still waiting behind!" Liu really doesn't dare to delay more time here, can Brother Wu sell me one of the roast chickens? ”
Wu Zheng didn't speak yet, but Lao Wei on the side glanced at the chicken in his hand, and said angrily: "Get out of the way, we don't have enough chickens to eat, so we don't have enough to sell to you?" ”
Liu Dongqing's appearance is rarely annoying, Wu Zheng felt this at first and thought that he was jealous of the memory of the stupid nerd before, but now that he sees that Lao Wei has opened his mouth to scold, it seems that this guy is still really annoying.
Hypocrisy, although the smile on his face is very good-looking, but in Wu Zheng's opinion, the expression on his face is not so much a smile as two big words 'hypocrisy'.
Wu Zheng glanced at the chicken called Hua Ji, who had eaten a chicken leg in his hand, and said, "You bought it for your old man Xia?" ”
Liu Dongqing said with a smile: "Exactly, the family teacher has no hobbies, only a good mouth." Don't hide that Brother Wu's elder smelled the aroma of roast chicken in Brother Wu's hands outside the valley, so he sent Liu to come forward to take a look, and asked Brother Wu to share one with me for the sake of the old man? ”
"Are you saying you want this roast chicken to honor your teacher?"
"That's right, the family teacher is as kind to Liu as a mountain, this is Liu's duty as a disciple."
Wu Zheng smiled: "It's easy to say, but I've already eaten a chicken leg in this chicken, so how about sharing half of it?" ”
Liu Dongqing also smiled: "Then Liu thanked Brother Wu." ”
Wu Zheng tore it open and called Hua Ji and said, "No thanks, you can give me ten taels of silver." ”
"Ten taels?" Liu Dongqing was stunned for a moment, but he wanted to scold his mother in his heart, Wu Dabang mallet is so poor and crazy that half a roast chicken actually wants ten taels of silver.
"Brother Liu doesn't have any silver on him, so let's do it! You can give me ten copper coins. ”
Hearing Wu Zheng's words, Liu Dongqing really wanted to throw his hands and leave, but when he thought of his teacher, he was still waiting to eat roast chicken! So he gritted his teeth, forced himself to calm down, and said, "Brother Wu, you're not a chicken, you're a phoenix!" Half a dozen times? ”
Wu Zheng said with a smile: "Brother Liu, you are right, my roast is really not an ordinary chicken, but a flower chicken is the only one in the world." Brother Liu is also a person who reads poetry and books, haven't you heard of the saying 'strange goods can live'? ”
"No matter how strange it is, it's half a chicken! Brother Wu, you're selling it too expensive! ”
"Brother Liu, don't be long-winded, this is called the flower chicken is cold, but it is not delicious, you can give a word! Do you want it or not, if you don't want me, I'll eat it while it's hot! ”
It's not that Liu Dongqing doesn't have ten yuan on him, but he thinks that today's Wu Da Bang mallet is just pit himself, if this matter is spread out, where will he put his face? But if the teacher can't eat the chicken, won't he seem too useless in the teacher's heart?
Just when Liu Dongqing was entangled in his heart, Xia Yun's voice sounded behind him: "What's the matter with Dongqing, did you see the person who roasted the chicken?" ”
