Chapter 2 The House of Goodness
Qin Yi, supported by Wei Zijin, limped towards the city of Xining Town. He had just tripped over an old tree root, which caused him to hurt his left leg and knee a little, so he walked with a limp.
His home is in the northwest corner of the town of Xining, where the poor gather. Wei Zijin's home is also there, living next to each other, and the two families are only separated by a wall.
Although Qin Yi's family is poor, it is not to the point that he steals people's property because of poverty. It is often said that people are not poor, and putting it on Qin Yi's body is the best portrayal. In order to improve the family, the whole family saved money and sent Qin Yi to study at the White Deer Academy in the town, preparing to participate in the imperial examination and embarking on the road of prosperity.
And after all, he is a poor student, and in the academy, he is often bullied and humiliated by some rich sons. This point, in Qin Yi's heart, buried a deep sense of inferiority.
Looking at the city wall of Xining Town, Qin Yi couldn't help but feel a little sad, according to his memory, what happened to the original owner made him feel a little sympathetic, as the successor, he naturally had to find a way to get rid of this predicament - to be looked down upon. And the way out of this predicament seems to be to be able to shine in the imperial examination.
"Brother Zhongyi, what do you want?" Wei Zijin's faint smile was full of seductive charm, "Here you go, this is the jade pendant that was pawned by Uncle Qin a few days ago." ”
The gentle and playful words interrupted Qin Yi's thoughts. Wei Zijin carefully took out a jade pendant tied with a red rope, dangled it in front of Qin Yi, and motioned for Qin Yi to take it back.
Qin Yi looked at this jade pendant, the whole body was pale blue-green, similar to the color of the clothes worn by Wei Zijin, the shape was square, but there was a dragon-shaped pattern engraved on it. He flipped over the jade pendant and found that there was something engraved on the back, but it was just a simple Chinese character: 曌. As for the rest, there are none.
He remembered that this was a jade pendant he had since he was a child, or that Qin Yi had been with him when he was picked up.
That's right, Qin Yi is not his father Qin Buxian's parent, but an adopted son. This was told to Qin Yi when he was twelve years old. He was picked up by his adoptive mother Zhang from a wooden basin drifting in the river in May of the seventh year of Yanping of the Xia Dynasty by the Xining River.
At that time, his adoptive mother Zhang had just given birth to her eldest son, Qin Jia, and she had enough milk, so Qin Yi was able to support her. Otherwise, Qin Yi would starve to death in the wooden basin at that time.
This jade pendant was what he was carrying at that time. Logically speaking, it should be convenient for him to find his biological parents and recognize his ancestors as a token of his return to his ancestors when he becomes an adult. Because of this, for more than ten years, no matter how poor Qin Jia was, he did not pawn this jade pendant in exchange for silver money.
The other day was different, his adoptive mother had a sudden illness that required a large sum of money to cure. Therefore, although Qin Yi was reluctant in his heart, after all, the grace of his adoptive parents was greater than heaven, and even his biological parents might not be as good as them, so the jade pendant was pawned in exchange for silver money for life-saving purposes.
This is probably the so-called house of goodness, there must be Yu Qing! After taking the medicine, Qin Yi's adoptive mother Zhang's acute illness can be regarded as cured.
As for this jade pendant, it naturally lay in the pawn shop. Although it is a token of recognition, but in the vast sea of people, how can he find his biological parents?
Even, because of the dragon-shaped pattern, he was repeatedly accused of using the dragon map for private use, so that the town envoy of Xining Town suspected that Qin Yi had embezzled the palace's treasures. And every time, it was his adoptive mother again, and she went around everywhere to solve it.
Moreover, the Chinese character "曌" on the back of this jade pendant is also something that no one can explain what it means. In other words, except for the master in the academy in the town, almost no one knows this word.
The words are simple, but the meaning of the representation is too difficult!
Instead of painstakingly pursuing his life experience, it is better to let his life experience be fascinated, at least Qin Yi can use this jade pendant and the silver money pawned to save his adoptive mother's life and repay her for raising her.
"Brother Zhongyi takes care of him, and if you encounter an emergency in the future and need money, you can find my mother! If it weren't for the proprietress of the pawn shop, who had a better relationship with my mother, I am afraid that this jade pendant would not have come back! ”
Wei Zijin knew Qin Yi's life experience, and knew that this jade pendant was a token for him, which was extremely important. Otherwise, she would not have redeemed it at a low price and returned it to Qin Yi.
Qin Yi naturally knew Wei Zijin's thoughts, and he was extremely grateful for this jade pendant, and said bitterly: "What Sister Zijin said is that I owe you a favor now!" ”
"Today, Ji Ping of the Zheng family beat me innocently. I wrote down this beam. Qin Yi put away the jade pendant, his eyes were a little unkind, "It's best not to let me see it next time!" ”
Qin Yi is a veteran after all, and he can't get used to these bullying rich boys, if in his previous life, his body allows, he can clean up these eight lambs by himself.
"The Zheng family is powerful, in the fish and meat township, Brother Zhong Yi, it's better to be careful! Moreover, when I went to Zheng's house to deliver embroidery today, I saw Lord Baozheng Zhang and Lord Li, the first chief, patrolling the homes near the second protection of Xicheng. Brother Zhong Yi, let's go back quickly, maybe I can complain to the two adults about this matter! ”
The incident in her mouth naturally refers to the fact that Qin Yi was beaten by the Zheng family for no reason. Bao Zheng and Chief A can submit this kind of matter to the prison department or criminal law department in the town, where the people can file complaints.
In this world, ten households are one Jia, and a Jiachang is set up to govern; The top ten are one guarantee, and a guarantee is set up to exercise jurisdiction. In essence, the armor protection system is only to regulate the disputes of the neighbors, but in fact, it will also submit a petition for justice to the town's legal prison institution for the sake of the people.
"Hmm!"
Qin Yi stroked Wei Zijin's long hair coiled on his head, and promised her words in his mouth. Wei Zijin's face was slightly red, and he was a little intimate: "Brother Zhongyi, he is still on the road, and when he is seen by others, he will gossip......"
Her voice grew quieter, but her face grew redder. Seeing this, Qin Yi's pain on his body seemed to be relieved a lot: "Let's go into the city!" ”
He is a person who has traveled through time, with the experience of a past life, the memories of this life, and the body of the original owner. This means that Qin Yi must quickly integrate into this world and adapt to the environment here in order to survive in this world.
In fact, he is still faced with a choice, what should he do when he comes into this world? Is it to live a dull life with the childhood friend Wei Zijin in front of you, or to do your own business?
At least, an ordinary life is not what he wants. Obviously, Qin Yi, who was a retired soldier in his previous life, would choose the latter. And this latter is naturally the imperial examination that Qin Yi thought of before, and that is also what his family expects of him.
For this imperial examination, Qin Yi's brother Qin Jia even got married early and began to work to earn money to support his family. Qin Yi's expenses for going to the academy were mostly paid by his brother.
The bustle in the city made Qin Yi stop thinking. Because there was still a little injury to the back of his head, Qin Yi, under the leadership of Wei Zijin, found the medical hall and performed a simple bandage.
This is Xining Town, a small town under the rule of Ningde County, Liangzhou County, Xia Dynasty, and the southeast suburb of the town is the Xining River. Qin Yi was picked up by his adoptive mother Zhang when he was a child.
I straightened out my memory, figured out my environment, and finished dressing my wounds. The pain in Qin Yi's body was relieved a lot, and his hands also regained consciousness, so he walked out of the hospital hall with Wei Zijin and prepared to go home.
In the residential area of Xining Town, the western city is mainly some tenant farmers, poor peasants, butchers and other poor families, while the eastern city is those rich families and scholars. But no matter what kind of gathering situation, the armor protection system has been thoroughly implemented here.
The home of Qin Yi's original owner is naturally Xicheng, located in the northwest corner of the town. Specifically, it is the third household of the second and fourth class in Xicheng, Xining Town.
At this time, he and Wei Zijin were heading to this place.
