The east city of Xining Town, the Zheng family.

Jia Ding Li Datou walked into the door of the house with a very unhappy expression, and went straight to the back garden, where he saw a young man about seventeen years old.

The young man was wearing a long robe, his face was white, and his brows were highlighted by his flying and domineering look. He held the cage in his hand and whistled in his mouth, apparently teasing the thrush in it. The thrush seemed to feel the teasing from the young master, and from time to time followed the young man's whistle and screamed a few times.

This young man was none other than Zheng Ping, who was chasing and beating Qin Yi outside the city an hour ago. Because he ranks fourth in the Zheng family, he is also known as Ji Ping.

"Coming back? What's going on? ”

Zheng Ping had already heard Li Datou's footsteps, so he put the birdcage on the stone table, turned his back to Li Datou, and his words were full of coldness and gloom.

"Tell the young master, when the villain was begging for money from Qin Buxi, Qin Yi's kid suddenly came back for some reason. Moreover, Qin Yi is also different from the past, and today he has become tougher, not at all like what we have taught him. He said that if we pushed him too hard, he would go to the Prison Department......"

Before Li Datou's words were finished, he was interrupted by Zheng Ping: "Don't be busy with this matter first, you give this hosta to the girl who is like smoke in Huamanlou, and say that the young master will go to Huamanlou to find her happy." ”

Li Datou took the hosta, looked at it carefully, but admired it, it was really a good jade, the workmanship was also fine, and it was engraved with the pattern of the phoenix, the main part, engraved with three words: "Phoenix seeks the phoenix." Obviously, this represents some kind of allegory.

If you estimate the price of this hairpin exactly, it is estimated to be a thousand taels. Li Datou trembled in his heart, carefully wrapped it in a handkerchief on the stone table, and said, "The little one is gone!" ”

Zheng Ping looked at Li Datou's departing figure, and a painful look immediately appeared on his face. It was his own jade pendant, plus the silver money in his pocket, and the hosta he bought from Xirong Hu Shang, the purpose was naturally to please the girl who was full of flowers.

That's right, Zheng Ping's jade pendant was not stolen, but was taken by himself. The reason why he did this was to raise enough money to buy this hosta. However, in order to cover up all this, he had to spread the disappearance of the hosta, saying that Qin Yi stole it. By the way, he blackmailed him with a few hundred taels of silver to make up for the shortfall. It's a pity that listening to Li Datou's words, he had to dispel this idea.

This kind of place is not something he can provoke. It seems that if you want to make money in the future, you can only start from other aspects.

This is also no way, although the Zheng family is rich, but the old man Zheng and the eldest young master of the Zheng family take close care of the Zheng family's money, Zheng Ping only has two hundred taels of extra money a month, for him such a rich second generation, how can it be enough to spend? What's more, he also likes to spend a lot of money and do some things, which inevitably requires a lot of money.

It's a pity that Liu Ruyan has always been cold, and she doesn't sell her body, if she wants to see her, unless the man has great talent, he won't be allowed to enter the door of the building. Although Zheng Ping is a rich man, he really can only eat, drink and have fun, and he doesn't know the way of talent. In order to satisfy his desires, he could only do so. hoped to use the high-value hosta to impress Liu Ruyan, but because of the rules of the flowery building, he had to let Li Datou send it over as a date.

In the back garden, Zheng Ping was pacing with a sad face, he was thinking about the routine of getting money.

At the same time, in the courtyard of Qin Yi's house, Qin Yi, Qin Yi's father and Wei Zijin sat on the stone bench. Qin Buxian was a little shocked: "Erlang, that family ding, is it true that you stole the jade pendant of the Zheng family Ji Ping?" ”

"Dad, the child has been a person who understands the rules since he was a child, how could he do those things that steal chickens and dogs?" Qin Yi's expression was very resolute, "For this matter, they blocked me on the way home from the academy today, and when I fled outside the city, they didn't let me go, and even beat me up!" ”

Qin Yi said, revealing the injuries on his body to Qin Buxian: "The child is in the academy on weekdays, and he has been bullied by them, so I will go to Lord Baozheng and talk about this matter when I turn around." ”

He still remembered that Wei Zijin said that Zhang Baozheng seemed to be wandering around Xicheng Erbao today. He had already planned, if he could meet Zhang Baozheng tonight, he would go and talk about it. If you really can't do it, you just stab the matter to the Criminal Law Department, and the Criminal Law Department will come forward to solve it.

"Brother Zhongyi, I think it's better to forget it." Wei Zijin refilled the tea in the cup of the three, and his expression was a little uncertain, "The Zheng family is a rich family and has a lot of power, and some officials in the town have some collusion, so we can't fight him." What's more, those words of Brother Zhong Yi just now are afraid that they will also be taken back by the family to tell Zheng Ping, you are studying in the same academy with him, and you don't see him when you look down, and the relationship is always a little bad. ”

"Say no more!" Qin Yi couldn't swallow this breath, and his words showed that he was a little angry, but his expression quickly returned to normal, "Dad, the child went back to the house to review his homework, and in the academy tomorrow, he will also inspect the students' poems." ”

Qin Bu was stunned, and he was always a little relieved in his heart, but he knew Qin Yi very well. Although he is thin on the outside, he feels like he is easily bullied, but he is very strong in his heart, otherwise he would not be bullied in the academy and insist on studying.

If you were an ordinary person, you would have dropped out of school because you couldn't stand the bullying.

Qin Yi returned to his house, raised his head and looked around, it was really as he remembered it, although it was a family of goodness, but it was a family with four walls, and he was poor. This is the same as most families in Xicheng, after all, it is caused by historical reasons, and no one can change it.

Although the Qin family where he is located, although it is a military household, there is no war on the border now, and there will naturally be no recruitment in the imperial court. Moreover, even if you join the army, there is no battle to fight, where can you accumulate military merits in order to be promoted?

Therefore, if you want to change the current situation, the only way to do this is to participate in the imperial examination, study hard in the academy in the town, and be the right way.

Qin Yi recalled the memories of the original owner, and knew that this world had something in common with the previous life. Although it looks a bit like the Ming Dynasty in the previous life, the cultural development has stayed before the Tang Dynasty.

As for the imperial examination, it has existed for 400 years, and it is said that it was founded by the founding king of the Xia Dynasty and has continued to this day. But this kind of imperial examination is not as rigid as the Ming Dynasty in the previous life, the content of the examination is lively, and only those who study seriously can go to the top.

But no matter what kind of imperial examination system, the focus is always there. In the imperial examination of this world, the focus at this stage is naturally poetry.

Qin Yi can't write poetry or lyrics, but before he joined the army in his previous life, he was a college student who studied history and was familiar with Chinese literature.

Or in other words, in this world, there is no flourishing Tang poetry at this time, and there is no glory of Song poetry, which just provides Qin Yi with development conditions.

It seems that God is not thin on himself, so he still has a place to be useful. Qin Yi thought so in his heart, with the help of the poems of the famous masters in his previous life, he would be able to speak smoothly in the future in the imperial examination. This can probably be said to be that I was born to copy poems, and I will eventually have a clue after a thousand thoughts!

But no matter how good the poetry is, it does not mean that Qin Yi will definitely be able to pass the imperial examination to reach the top, which is also what Qin Yi is worried about.

Poetry is only the focus, and the subjects tested in the imperial examination of this world are far more than poetry!
