Gao Baoqiao originally refused to agree to help, but Zhu and Jiang had a background of unscrupulousness, which made him have to fight for it.

As a result, Jiang Yansi's third state examination was successfully passed, and at this time, Baili Wuji established Jinling Academy in Jinling Mansion, and Jiang Yansi naturally chose to study under the Son of Heaven.

Jiang Jiliang has a natural sensitivity, and when Baili Wuji promoted the status of a businessman, he had already guessed the future of the Ming Kingdom, and the merchant would occupy an important position, so Jiang Yansi not only cultivated the Ming Classics, but also the Ming Arithmetic Department.

At this time, Jiang Ji's conscience had already skipped his son Jiang Fuquan and was ready to pass on the family business directly to his grandson.

But what made Jiang Jiliang uncontrollable was this.

That year, Bian Hao's speech at Jinling Academy, a sentence "I was already dead at that time" made Jiang Yansi, who was about to graduate, excited, to be precise, it was Bian Hao's indifference to life that infected the students of Jinling Academy, and the collective fanaticism of the students prompted Jiang Yansi to make up his mind.

In fact, before this, Jiang Yansi's life goal had changed, and there had been no corresponding moves, because of the awe of Jiang Jiliang and the strict education he loved since childhood.

What changed him was Zhu Guichao, the first friend you could make in your life, and now he has become his future brother-in-law and brother-in-law.

Zhu Guichao is two years older than Jiang Yansi, although his grandfather Zhu Pengliang and his father Zhu Lejian are both "turtles" who can't read a basket of big characters, but Zhu Guichao's learning is above Jiang Yansi, and it is strange to say that Zhu Guichao does not look like his grandfather Zhu Pengliang and his father Zhu Lezhen at all, but like his mother and grandson, and his temperament is gentle and free. Compared with his younger brother Zhu Guilin's debate, it is a heaven and an earth.

It was Jiang Yansi's second time taking the state exam, and he failed in the first exam. This time, in order to cope with the state exam, Jiang Yansi studied hard for a long time, and his spirit was haggard.

Although the Zhu and Jiang families had not yet married at this time, Zhu Guichao and Jiang Yansi had already formed a deep friendship in the Xiangyong Barracks.

Jiang Yansi's haggardness, in Zhu Guichao's eyes, is also anxious for this friend. After thinking about it, he asked Jiang Yansi to persuade him: "Bohan, how about I accompany you to go outside?" These days, you don't go out of the door. It's really more obedient than my sister, don't read books, it's not bad for this day, let's go to Guizhou City for a walk. ”

Zhu Guichao's words were very sincere.

Although Jiang Yansi was grateful to Zhu Guichao for his concern. But I still don't want to waste this day. Think about it euphemistically.

But he didn't want Zhu Guichao, who looked peaceful and gentle, to say such a thing: "Bohan, I think the more you learn, the more you don't understand, don't you know that the success or failure of your career is not in studying, it only depends on your background and luck?" Fame is the most misleading thing for life, and if you fall into it, you will suffer from it, and eventually become a useless person. ”

Hearing this, Jiang Yansi was not convinced and retorted: "Then why do you have to take the township test, county test, and state test all the way." ”

Zhu Guichao continued: "My ancestors and fathers didn't understand this truth at first. The door-to-door effort allowed me to gain fame, and then I passed the township and county exams all the way. Suddenly I realized that I didn't want to take the exam anymore, so my father persuaded me to reason with him, but then he couldn't talk about me, so I had to let myself decide. No, I'm getting an errand in the Guizhou state capital now, and I'm doing well, and I don't plan to take the exam anymore. ”

Jiang Yansi was still unconvinced, and said: "I'm not like you, my family has never had a famous person since the Tang Dynasty." Now I study so hard, even if I don't develop for myself, I have to open the court for my Jiang family. ”

Zhu Guichao saw that Jiang Yansi looked so persistent, and knew that he was a little rude, so he eased his tone slightly: "You and I have similar family backgrounds, don't worry about the needs of life, and I don't want to force you to give up the road of seeking fame, but I just want to persuade you today, you must see through the fame and wealth, the meaning of being a man does not lie in the fame of the career, if you judge the superiority of people by fame, then Li Linfu, the traitor of the Tang Dynasty, should be the most virtuous person." ”

Jiang Yansi is a very enterprising person, who never believes in fate, and he is very uncomfortable when he hears Zhu Guichao's remarks for the first time.

Zhu Guichao also saw this from his expression, and continued to explain to him: "For example, the ancestors of your family, although they are not high-ranking officials and dignitaries, have been cultivating for generations, and have accumulated the current fields and houses for your family, aren't they the heroes of your family?" Therefore, fame and wealth are reluctant, and you must deal with it calmly, and as long as you do your part, you will be worthy of your ancestors. ”

Zhu Guichao's words were tantamount to pouring cold water on Jiang Yansi's blazing fame. But Jiang Yansi savored it carefully and felt that Zhu Guichao's words were not unreasonable. The last time I was in the state government for the exam, the first-class article was rated seventh by the examiner, and my father Jiang Fuquan took the exam for more than 20 years and still fell to Sun Shan, so that the father and son rushed to take the exam at the same time, is this really the father's stupid nature? Or maybe it's bad luck.

Zhu Guichao made this comment to persuade Jiang Yansi to go out and relax his tense nerves, but seeing that Jiang Yansi was thoughtful and silent, he thought that Jiang Yansi was angry, so he had to divert the topic: "Life is too short, why bother yourself." I'm afraid you won't have time to hang out in the future, so we'll just go out for a walk today ....... ”

Jiang Yansi still insisted on refusing, Zhu Guichao was not discouraged, and tried his best to persuade him: "Reading is like transporting goods and loading a car, the car must be unloaded when it is full, and then loaded with new goods. Now that we go out, we want to unload the things in your head and take the exam without any burden, so why don't you do it? ”

Jiang Yansi saw that Zhu Guichao sincerely persuaded him, and what he said also had a certain truth, and it happened that he also wanted to buy some pen and ink letterheads, so he put down the book in his hand and rode to Guizhou City with Zhu Guichao.

In early summer, the weather is very dry, and the sun is not as poisonous as dog days. The color of the leaves is close to a deep green, and the district-level blooms in the spring have wilted, and the petals have fallen one after another.

Jiang Yansi followed Zhu Guichao all the way to Guizhou City, if according to Zhu Guichao's meaning, he should go to the more lively Jiangling Mansion, but Jiang Yansi still wanted to go back to review his homework as soon as possible, and go to Jiangling Mansion for at least three days, so he chose Guizhou City nearby.

When he came to the street of Guizhou City, Jiang Yansi's family background was not bad, but he was frugal since he was a child, and he was a little unaccustomed to the prosperity of Guizhou City, he felt that walking on the street always had to avoid going around, no better than in Padang Town, even if he closed his eyes, no one would bump into him.

Zhu Guichao asked Jiang Yansi what he likes to watch and where to go shopping? (To be continued......)
