Chapter 543: The Talented Man with Lost Hair (Nine Watches)
? Ji Ning moved to a new residence, Yu Ling and Lin Juan'er also moved over, in order to avoid the location where he lived being exposed again, Ji Ning only informed Tang Xie and Han Yu and others of his residence, and even Lin Yi only told him where he lived, and he didn't let Lin Yi go over to disturb him on weekdays, and during this time, he also wanted Lin Yi to take care of the Giant Whale Gang with peace of mind.
In the past few days, Ji Ning has not prepared to go out, so he does not need a carriage, even if he occasionally has something to go out, he has decided to walk, and even when he buys daily necessities, he feels that he will go in person, so that he can prevent the people of King Hui's Mansion from finding him.
He took the best precautions, and he also fully considered that he had offended the people of the Huiwang Mansion now, which posed a threat to his personal safety.
After everything was settled, he waited for the trial release of the list with peace of mind.
……
……
When Ji Ning was about to wait for the trial release of the list, in another courtyard in the capital, Gu Yuming, who was known as the "Jiangbei Genius", was still pursuing Zhao Yuanying with a dead face, because what he did was not recognized by Zhao Yuanying, and he could not prove that the poems that appeared at the Beijing Poetry Meeting were written by himself, so that Zhao Yuanying still ignored him.
Even King Hui has lost his initial appreciation for Gu Yuming, Zhao Yuanying has to go out almost every day, which is also a change for Zhao Yuanying after entering the capital, King Hui hopes to attract more young talents through his unmarried daughter, especially those who have not yet married "talents".
On the day of February 28th, there are only a few days left before the test list, and there is also a meeting in King Hui's mansion, which is also about the meeting, but this time there is basically no Jiangnan student, after all, King Hui's fief is in Jiangbei, and King Hui does not get more respect from Jiangnan scholars. Although Gu Yuming had fallen out of favor in King Hui's Mansion, he still followed a group of students from Jiangbei into King Hui's Mansion on this day, and used his familiarity with the courtyard of King Hui's Mansion in the capital to successfully sneak into Zhao Yuanying's boudoir and harass Zhao Yuanying.
“…… They all said that you don't come to the county lord, why don't you listen? Do you have to let the county lord be rough with you, so that you believe that the county lord is not lying? Zhao Yuanying's threatening tone was very tough.
Gu Yuming said bitterly: "County Lord, I have been thinking about you for a long time, and I came here today just to express my admiration......"
Zhao Yuanying said angrily: "You are a toad who wants to eat swan meat, how can you covet this county lord?" Do you believe that the lord of this county will send someone to inform your father that he will drive you out of the palace and cure you for the sin of disturbing my palace? ”
"County Lord, I know that you are dedicated to my good, and I know that I may have affected my studies because of my pursuit of you, so I have tried not to bother you before the examination, but now that the examination is over, it is okay to take the next exam, Jinshi should be no problem, now I don't have to be burdened by the imperial examination, and the county lord doesn't need to put on such an indifferent face under the examination?" Gu Yuming actually assumed that Zhao Yuanying was for his own good, but he didn't know that he was actually being used.
At first, King Hui's appreciation for him, and Zhao Yuanying's proximity to him, was not because of how good his knowledge was, but simply because his performance in the Beijing Poetry Club was too brilliant, and King Hui's Mansion needed him as a "talent" to become a benchmark figure and attract others to join King Hui's Mansion.
But after someone proved that the poems that made a big splash at the poetry meeting were not from Gu Yuming, Gu Yuming completely became a street rat, even if King Hui still had a certain appreciation for Gu Yuming, he had to turn him away, just for fear of being said, you King Hui's Mansion even want to recruit scum like Gu Yuming, why should we join in?
Therefore, Gu Yuming was not abandoned by King Hui's Mansion because of his talent, but simply because his reputation was stinky.
In fact, no one can find out who the poem came from, many people still think that the poem is still from Gu Yuming at all, but because people have become tigers, people outside have criticized Gu Yuming too much, and Gu Yuming has become a victim.
Zhao Yuanying stood in front of the door of the house, wearing a light veil to cover her face, and said angrily: "Gu Yuming, this county lord tells you that I will start from the beginning...... I have never had the slightest good impression of you, even if you have a little talent, but you have a perverse personality, if it weren't for my father asking me to get close to you, do you think that with the eyes of this county lord, I would look at a scum like you? ”
Zhao Yuanying's scolding was already very ugly, but Gu Yuming didn't seem to hear it.
"County Lord, you must have me in your heart, otherwise why would you come out to meet you?" Gu Yuming said with hope in his heart.
Zhao Yuanying scolded angrily: "You are just a scum, and you still look pitiful? Haha, Gu Yuming, you take yourself too seriously, the county lord sees a lot of talented people every day, many of them are Jinshi, and some are even the sons and daughters of the princes and nobles, they are stronger than you in terms of cai, stronger than you in terms of background, and better than you in terms of net worth and status, even if my father wants to collect them, it is more effective than you, why should I favor you like such a bad seed? If you do something wrong, you still refuse to admit it, and you don't even hesitate to admit other people's poems for the sake of fame, do you still have a little sense of courtesy, righteousness and shame? ”
After speaking, Zhao Yuanying waved and said: "Come on, arrest this thief who broke into the Huiwang Mansion and beat him out, if he can still move tomorrow, it will be the dereliction of duty of your guards, and the county lord will punish him together!" ”
"Yes, County Lord!"
The guards didn't care about that, since the county lord had an order to beat Gu Yuming, they would obey the order.
A group of people dragged the shouting Gu Yuming to the gate of King Hui's mansion, Gu Yuming was still yelling, and then the guards beat Gu Yuming's ass in front of the public, until the blood on his buttocks was dripping with blood, and finally Gu Yuming lay on the ground motionless, as if he was dead.
"Dead or not? If you die, you drag it out and bury it, but you don't die...... Just throw him a little farther away, so as not to dirty the lintel of King Hui's mansion, this is not just a person who can come over! The guards of King Hui's Mansion shouted angrily.
There were many onlookers present, but none of them sympathized with Gu Yuming, mainly because Gu Yuming offended too many people.
In the past, Gu Yuming had a flamboyant personality, and he had no one behind the Beijing Poetry Society, and he had long become the public enemy of Shizidang, but now Gu Yuming was dragged out and beaten on the charge of trespassing into Huiwang's mansion, so he couldn't even say anything about it.
Even if Gu Yuming was beaten, he began to talk nonsense, and he was still muttering: "...... She must love me, this is a spur and encouragement to me! ”
