Chapter 33: I Want to Be an Official
With so many people appearing out of thin air in the courtyard, it was the first time in his impression, Qin Li was immediately stunned. He couldn't help but worry, thinking that something big had happened at home.
When Qin Li was anxiously searching for the little lady Lin Yan'er and the old father-in-law's mother-in-law, those people swarmed over. surrounded Qin Li, bowed his head, and even knelt down and kowtowed to Qin Li.
"I and everyone thank Qin Gongzi, if Qin Gongzi hadn't come to the rescue, I'm afraid the little girl would have died as tragically as the Jiang family's daughter!" Everyone said almost at the same time.
Qin Li suddenly realized, seeing that there were crystal tears in everyone's eyes, and he was choked up, and that gratitude was completely sincere, and he was at a loss.
These days, I have been misunderstood, and the haze of grievances and humiliation in my heart has suddenly been swept away. Qin Li felt a sense of relief.
"Qin Gongzi, this is my old hen, send you stewed soup to replenish your body!"
For a while, this chicken and that piece of meat were stuffed into Qin Li's arms.
This is a group of simple people in Akagi!
Whether it is in the future or in this life, Qin Li has never experienced such a thing.
A wave of warmth welled up in his heart, and Qin Li felt boundless happiness. looked at everyone blankly, smiled awkwardly, and secretly thought that maybe this is the greatest happiness of people.
After a long time, he calmed down and said lightly, "Folks, you are too polite, I didn't do anything for everyone, just a little thing, a little thing!" ”
A white-haired old man leaned on crutches, squeezed forward tremblingly, and said, "Qin Gongzi is a good descendant of my Yangzhou, and I have a kind-hearted person like you in Yangzhou, which is the blessing of my Yangzhou!" We are all poor families, and we don't have anything of value at home. But what I am waiting for, Qin Gongzi must accept it.
Qin Gongzi has a life-saving grace for our daughters, and we will definitely keep it in mind and never forget Qin Gongzi's great kindness. Qin Gongzi, if you are an official, you must be a good official! ”
The old man may have read for a few years, and although he is old, he speaks clearly and in an orderly manner.
If you are an official, you must be a good official!
It was a very plain word, but at this time, it hit a thousand waves in Qin Li's heart. Crossing the Ming Dynasty originally wanted to enjoy the glory and wealth and live a free life. I tried my best to please the emperor in order to be able to have a beautiful wife and concubine, and I will be glorious for a lifetime!
But these days, there have been a lot of injustices. First of all, Wu Jingjiao deliberately recruited Yangzhou beauties, causing panic in Yangzhou and making the people even poorer. Then it was Wu Jing who persecuted the daughter of the Jiang family to death. This Ming Dynasty seems to be calm and peaceful, but in fact, the undercurrent is surging, and the people are living in dire straits!
This is still the case in a rich place like Yangzhou, let alone those poor and impoverished areas?
Emperor Zhu Houzhao of the Ming Dynasty is a master who does not do his job, he only knows that he plays well by himself, and where he cares about living the life of the people in the world. Jiang Bin, the minister next to him, is even more shameless villain, and he has hardly done anything good.
Daming needs to have a good official to govern!
Looking at the tearful people in front of him, Qin Li's heart rose sharply. Right! I'm going to be an official. Qin Li knows very well that in the Ming generation, if you want to be an official, you must study and go through a series of selection exams. Qin Li has never read the Four Books and Five Classics, and he can't write the Eight Strands.
But Qin Li was not discouraged at this time, the people in front of him who were full of hope were encouraging him, and the sky-high pride in his chest was driving him. He secretly made up his mind, who said that in the Ming Dynasty, you must study for the imperial examination to become an official, I, Qin Li, will break the ground, and I will become an official even if I don't study.
The reason why he thinks like this, in fact, there is another reason, that is, Qin Li feels that he is getting closer and closer to the emperor. Although the emperor had already rewarded him with a Wang Ba and an itch, Qin Li felt that as long as he continued to tie up with the emperor, the emperor would reward him, and maybe he would be able to give him an official!
Today, Qin Li is suddenly not so keen on enjoying glory and wealth, but has a correct goal in life: to become an official.
Because he has done good deeds for the people, that sense of happiness seems to be far better than enjoying glory and wealth alone.
Lin Ying, the Lin family and his little wife Lin Yan'er had already come out of the house at this time, standing beside Qin Li, looking at so many villagers in front of them thanking Qin Li, they couldn't help but burst into tears, and their hearts were indescribably happy.
This inverted son-in-law is not simple!
Lin Yan'er was even more excited, her liver trembled, and the beauty was indescribable. His father-in-law didn't know how to learn, and he was a stinky begging for food. I didn't expect it to be this stinky rice since I came to my own house, the family first lived a lot richer because of mahjong, and then the prince was appreciated by the emperor, for an ordinary people's family, what a great honor!
The most incredible thing is that this husband is loved and thanked by so many Yangzhou people. With such a father-in-law, Lin Yan'er felt satisfied and satisfied.
Qin Li arched his hand and said, "Fellow villagers, Qin Li is immoral and incompetent, I can't afford to thank you like this, and I don't dare to accept your thanks." But since the villagers are so enthusiastic, I, Qin Li, am disrespectful.
In addition, Qin Li will firmly remember the words of the villagers today, if I am an official in the future, I will be a good official! A great Ming official who serves the people wholeheartedly. ”
Then Qin Li asked the old man and his mother-in-law to accept the thank you in everyone's hands one by one. Only then did everyone feel at ease, and they waved at Qin Li with a happy face, and bowed before slowly leaving.
Because of the scene just now, Qin Li was very happy in his heart. A pair of handsome eyes also became divided into gods. Striding into the house with an tickle in his hand, he immediately felt the adoring gaze of the family. Qin Li smiled embarrassedly and said, "Hehe! It's all a little thing, and these folks are too enthusiastic. ”
Then he sat at the table, rubbing and tickling his hands at will, and was about to chat with his father-in-law Lin Ying. Suddenly, I heard the sound of hurried footsteps outside, followed by a young man with beautiful eyebrows flashed in, it was the boy Shen Lian who knew how to do it.
Shen Lian shouted as he entered the door with a cheerful face, "Brother Qin is really a good person, I, Shen Lian, didn't misread the wrong person!" ”
Obviously, he had just heard that Qin Li had rescued those poor Yangzhou people from Wu Jing's hands.
Shen Lian ran out of breath, and his handsome face was covered with beads of sweat. He stretched out his hand to wipe his face, and then said, "The day before yesterday, I heard that Brother Qin went to sue the emperor, but Brother Qin temporarily defected, and I still looked down on Brother Qin, and mistakenly thought that Brother Qin was a treacherous villain." I didn't expect Brother Qin to play this roundabout tactic, wanting to play Wu Jing slowly to death. Brother Qin's scheming is unfathomable and indistinguishable, which really makes the younger brother admire. ”
These words came out of Shen Lian's mouth, and when they heard it in Qin Li's ears, it was a strange smell of how they sounded. What does it mean to play slowly to death, and what is scheming? It seems that I, Qin Li, am not a good person, and I am a ghost.
Although he didn't have much contact, Qin Li knew that Shen Lian was a person who was jealous and hateful, and he was straightforward. Then he grinned, stood up, patted Shen Lian's shoulder, and said affectionately, "Brother Shen has lifted me, hehe, sit down." ”
Shen Lian was just about to sit down, when suddenly there was a shout outside the courtyard gate, "Young Master Qin, go and take a look, there is a death on the street!" ”
