However, Zhao Rui quickly stabilized his mind.

Not to mention that he doesn't understand the knowledge that needs to be mastered to participate in the imperial examination, even if he does, he will not participate, you know, according to the historical trajectory, the Great Song Dynasty is going to be finished, and the career is good to develop, with that time, it is better to think about how to deal with it in the future.

He thought for a moment, took out the two boxes of silver from the ancestral hall, and said to the butler, "You put the silver away first, and I will ask you to get it when I need it." That Song Fengyi is in the front hall, right, I'll go over and take a look......"

Seeing that the old butler opened his mouth, obviously having something to say, Zhao Rui waved his hand, "Don't worry, he can't ruin my reputation." ”

Only then did the old housekeeper put his mind at ease, picked up two boxes of silver, and walked towards the middle courtyard, walking in a tigerish manner, not at all like the appearance of the old man's house.

Zhao Rui looked straight, his grandmother's, did the ancients have such a great strength? How old are you......

Speechless.

At this time, Song Fengyi was drinking tea in the living room in the front yard.

Song Fengyi is a young man in his twenties, perhaps because of his depressed life, his figure is very thin, his cheekbones are high, his eyes are deep-set, and the Confucian clothes on his body are like a skeleton, and they are already torn, and there are patches in several places.

But even if he is so down, he still drinks tea in a meticulous manner, looks calm, and has the exclusive temperament of a reader.

"Brother Fengyi, rare guest......"

Zhao Rui walked into the living room and greeted him with a smile.

"Let Brother Changshun laugh."

Song Fengyi smiled lightly, and instead of giving a salute, he did not lose a trace of rules, indifferently and calmly.

"It turns out that the name of this body is Zhao Changshun, but I don't know if Changshun is his name or his ......"

Zhao Rui still doesn't know his specific identity, he didn't find a family tree or anything like that in the ancestral hall, and he can't ask the housekeeper directly about this matter, for fear of revealing his stuffing, at this time, when he heard Song Fengyi call himself, he suddenly thought that he might be able to get his personal information through this buddy's mouth.

As soon as he thought about it, he suddenly laughed, asked Song Fengyi to sit down, and then sat down himself, and said 'carelessly' while pouring tea for himself: "Don't hide it from Brother Fengyi, I am no longer called Changshun." ”

"Oh?"

Song Fengyi just raised the teacup to his lips and stopped, and then seemed to understand something, and suddenly sighed: "It's okay to change your name, maybe you change your name...... can change the fortune of the family......"

Zhao Rui immediately understood, his name was Changshun, not a word.

Because Song Fengyi said that he was changing his name, not changing his words.

He said in his heart that the cheap dad gave him the name Changshun, probably because he wanted him to have a smooth life......

But when I thought of my own situation, I suddenly said in my heart, if I choose a good name and I can go smoothly in this life, then the efforts in life are meaningless.

He said quietly: "That's true, Brother Fengyi may have heard about the situation of my Zhao family, so you can say ...... The industries that can be sold have basically been sold, and if there were not still a few acres of paddy fields to maintain the turnover of the family, I am afraid that they would have been unable to eat for a long time. ”

Song Fengyi sighed: "Time, life, this is something that can't be helped, who let God not stand on our side." ”

He probably thought of his own situation, and he was speechless for a while.

Zhao Rui comforted: "Brother Fengyi doesn't have to be sad, everything will be fine." ”

"Okay?"

Song Fengyi smiled bitterly and shook his head, not thinking so.

However, he quickly suppressed the heaviness of his heart and said with a smile: "I don't know what Brother Zhao's name has changed?" ”

Zhao Rui replied: "A single name is a wise word, a wise one." ”

Song Fengyi obviously has writing skills, and after a little hesitation, he said: "Rui Nai knows how to mean words, from the eye, from the valley province." The valley is empty and empty, and there is unimpeded righteousness, and the eye is discernment, which together indicates wisdom and wisdom. The original meaning is well understood, and it is also clear. Brother Zhao hopes that he can be a wise person who can see far-reaching. ”

Zhao Rui nodded, "That's exactly what it means." ”

Song Fengyi said with a smile: "In today's world, seeing far-reaching is far more important than hard work, this name is very good." However, the word is also very important, Brother Zhao has ever changed the word together?

I heard that Brother Zhao's original husband gave you the word Zhiqing, and I hope you can understand your ambition. The word Zhiqing is a very good word, but it is ...... with your current name The moral seems to be a bit repetitive......"

Zhao Ruixin said, this homework has been done quite enough, in order to visit, I even heard about this kind of thing, why did he come to my Zhao family?

Thinking in his heart, he said: "The words have also changed, and the words are now correct." ”

"Zhongzheng?"

Song Fengyi looked at Zhao Rui, "A gentleman must choose a hometown when he lives, and he must be a scholar when he travels, so he is close to the middle and righteous to prevent evil?" ”

This sentence is taken from a sentence in "Xunzi Persuasion", which means that when a gentleman settles down, he must choose a good place, and when he goes out, he must associate with people with knowledge and talent, and use this method to prevent evil things from polluting the idea of approaching integrity.

Meaning: Be an upright person.

Zhao Rui nodded, "Exactly." ”

Song Fengyi nodded in appreciation: "Good words!" ”

He said with a smile: "With a good name and good words, Brother Zhao is afraid that he is not shallow!" ”

Zhao Rui's heart moved, and he said that this product was about to get to the point.

Sure enough.

I only heard him say: "I heard that Brother Zhongzheng has been living in a simple way for the past two years, studying the books of sages and sages, I'm afraid I don't want to take off in one fell swoop in this year's imperial examination, and glorify my ancestors, right?" ”

Zhao Rui drank tea silently and didn't speak, but he didn't deny it either.

Song Fengyi said: "Don't hide it from Brother Zhongzheng, Song came here for this reason." Since the founding of the Great Song Dynasty, it has always emphasized literature over martial arts, which has given birth to more scholars to enter the official career and show their ambitions. This approach is very good, after all, it is to select talents for the country, but it also causes a lot of competition among scholars, and it is difficult to get ahead without some real talent.

Song is not talented, early to obtain the identity of Xiucai, if it were not for the sudden change in the family, Song may have already entered the palace, although in the past few years deep in the mud and not pulled out, but the sage book has not fallen, every year will be tutored to some scholars in the county, the main points of the imperial examination are very clear, I want to tutor the Zhongzheng brother to study is no problem, and the Zhongzheng brother, only need to pay a little spare money for this......"

Zhao Rui understood.

He wanted to get a certain amount of money through his talents.

This is the same kind of work as tutoring in the 21st century.

If he wants to take the path of official career, Song Fengyi is really a good choice, after all, this guy is really talented and learned, and in Lingshan County, there is no more suitable person than him.

It's a pity that Zhao Rui doesn't want to take this path.

waved his hand, interrupting Song Fengyi's continued lobbying.

He said: "Brother Fengyi, I don't know something, there are so many scholars in the county who want to take the imperial examination, why does Brother Fengyi take a fancy to me alone?" I remember all these years...... There's no communication between you and me, right? ”

Song Fengyi shook his head and sighed: "I knew that Brother Zhao would ask this question, and it was ridiculous to say, because he has been addicted to gambling in the past few years, and Song's reputation has long been stinking on the street.

To tell the truth, I didn't plan to go to the door of Brother Zhao's house, I was afraid that I would not be able to pay my expenses, who would have thought, when I was drinking tea in the teahouse in the morning, I suddenly saw Brother Zhongzheng playing Yamato pawnshop, and the shopkeeper of Yamato Pawnshop also picked two boxes of silver for you, I am afraid that it will not be less than a few hundred taels......

It was at that time that I had a plan to sell myself in my heart, after all, your Zhao family has been down for a long time, and you usually have no teacher to teach, and it is difficult to grasp the key points of the exam by studying hard by yourself, but it is different with me to assist, it will definitely make you learn greatly in a short period of time, therefore, I think this deal has a great chance of success, so I cheekily came to the door......"

He hugged his fists and said with anticipation in his eyes: "Brother Zhongzheng, Song Mou dares to say a shameless word, looking at the entire Lingshan County, if you want to say that the most knowledgeable person is Song, if Song Mou helps, you will definitely be able to get into the department in one fell swoop and step into the Jinluan Palace, and Brother Zhongzheng only pays a little bit of silver taels......

From the perspective of gains and losses, Brother Zhongzheng hired me, and the profits far outweighed the losses! As for reputation, don't worry, I have already thought of countermeasures, in order to avoid affecting your reputation, I will come at night to ensure that no one knows that you and I have dealt with me, I don't know what Brother Zhongzheng wants? ”

The ancients were really honest, I just asked casually, and he hated to take out all the pockets in his heart, it was too sincere......

Zhao Rui was full of emotion, and he couldn't help but think a little more about the character of the Great Song Dynasty readers, unlike the society of the 21st century, there can be nine lies in ten sentences, so you don't know which one is true.

So, he also said frankly: "I'm afraid I'm going to disappoint Brother Fengyi, Zhao actually doesn't have any idea of a career, and he has been studying sage books for the past two years, just trying to find a better way out." ”

"Huh?"

Song Fengyi was stunned for a moment, "Don't take the official career?" But I heard that Brother Zhao has obtained the qualification for the township examination in the county, did Brother Zhao encounter some problems and had to give up this idea? ”

Zhao Rui shook his head with a smile, "I didn't encounter any problems, but I suddenly didn't want to take the test." ”

Song Fengyi: "Why? ”

Zhao Rui glanced at him meaningfully, "Brother Fengyi, in the current form, do you think it is still useful to gain fame now?" ”

Song Fengyi's body was shocked, and he looked at Zhao Rui for a long time and was silent.

After a long time, he shook his head and smiled bitterly: "It turns out that Brother Zhao can also see it, indeed, in its current form, the Great Song Dynasty will sooner or later be annexed by the Mongolian Tatars in the north, and it is really useless to gain fame now......"

He sighed with emotion: "Brother Zhao's name has really not been corrected, and his vision is far-reaching......."

Slowly stood up, bowed deeply to Zhao Rui, and said, "Brother Zhao, I'm sorry, I'm ...... to retire."

Lost and dejected, he walked out.

This deal could not be completed, and he began to worry about where he would go to earn his food money tomorrow, and his face was full of sorrow, and his heart was very uncomfortable.

But just as he was about to step out of the threshold of the living room, Zhao Rui's voice suddenly came from behind him.

"Brother Fengyi, I have another deal here, do you want to hear about it?"
