Chapter Forty-Six: Past Life Entanglements

"God forbid, just wait for them to complain about you, haha!" Gangzi seemed to know something, and said meaningfully.

"What does it have to do with me, everything is fate and certainty, I just follow fate." I blinked to Gangzi and said.

"It's just a casual sentence!" The old man who had gone to the bedroom to rest came out again at some point.

The old man walked slowly towards us, and there seemed to be some sadness and desolation in his deep eyes. I could see at a glance that the old man had something on his mind, so I asked, "Master, what are you hiding from me?" ”

"I have calculated with the old bald donkey, you are very heavy in cause and effect, and you are friends who have a lifetime of affection, but the road is bumpy and difficult, so I try to teach you some skills, you don't have the talent to learn magic, and you will learn some tricks from me in the future." The old man said to Gangzi with a smile.

After listening to this, I couldn't help but feel warm in my heart, thinking that God was really good to me, and when I looked at Gangzi, his eyes were full of heat, and he knelt down and said, "Thank you, Master!" ”

"Well, with a mature mind and comprehensive consideration, it is indeed suitable for learning the art of public opinion." The old man nodded in praise.

It turned out that Gangzi had already seen something from Instructor Xu, he was a smart person, of course he knew the old man's ability and ability, and hurriedly thanked him.

lamenting the impermanence of the world, our brothers were separated after high school, but I didn't expect that there would be a chance to be together.

Later, I learned from the old man's mouth that he and the Great Compassion King intended to bring us together, and the old man wanted me to have a group of trustworthy and emotionally based helpers, so that I could shoulder the responsibilities and missions of the supernatural department more haode.

Only a few people knew about the fact that Liu Xin had been transported to his fate, and for a while his thoughts returned to the picture of a few years ago.

"Tianyou, are you thinking about Liu Xin?" The old man asked tentatively when he saw that I was lost in thought.

I nodded and whispered "yes"

The old man shook his head and sighed, and then said, "Although I am not proficient in the art of life, I can see that you have some karmic entanglements in your previous life, but since it is a matter of your previous life, you should forget about him, so why bother with all kinds of things in the past?" ”

The old man's words deeply shocked me, yes, why should the things of the past life be involved in this life?

I believe many people want to know what happened in our previous life, what is the relationship between me and Liu Xin, and why can I be willing to borrow it for my life? Today, let's reveal this matter.

If you want to talk about this, you have to go back to the Xianfeng period of the Qing Dynasty, Liu Xin and I were both poor scholars in our previous lives, and we were friends who studied hard for ten years, and we had already kowtowed to our brothers in front of Guan Erye.

In his previous life, he was very talented, talented and rich in eight buckets, and he was perfect in piano, chess, calligraphy, painting, and poetry, and he could be called a generation of talents at that time.

I have always admired his talent, and we often read and paint together, and that autumn was just in time for the big exam once in ten years, and we all signed up with confidence.

The imperial examination system of the Qing Dynasty required three examinations, namely the township examination, the meeting examination, and the palace examination.

Township examinations are usually held every three years in the provincial capitals of each province, also known as Dabi. Since it is held in autumn, it is also called Qiuyu. It is Xiucai who participates in the township examination, but Xiucai must first pass the scientific examination held by the provincial academic and political circuit before participating in the township examination, and only those with excellent results can be selected to participate in the township examination. After the township examination, it is called Juren, and the first name is Xie Yuan.

The examination is held in the spring of the second year after the township examination in the Ministry of Rites, so the examination is also called the rite of the year, also known as the spring examination. Those who participate in the examination are lifted people, and after taking the middle, they are called Gongshi, and the first name is Huiyuan. Generally, a re-examination will be held after the examination.

The above various exams are mainly to test the eight-strand essay and the test post poem. The title of the eight-strand text comes from the Four Books and Five Classics, slightly imitating the scriptures of the Song Dynasty, but the wording should be in the tone of the ancients, the so-called sages and sages. The structure has a certain program, the number of words has a certain limit, and the syntax requires couples, also known as eight-ratio text, Shiwen, Shiyi, and craftsmanship.

The palace examination is the examination of the emperor's main examination, and the examination is asked. Those who participated in the palace examination were Gongshi, and after taking the middle school, they were collectively called Jinshi. The palace examination is divided into three top admits. The first class is given to the Jinshi and the first, the second is given to the Jinshi origin, and the third is given to the same Jinshi origin. The first place is commonly known as the champion, the second place is commonly known as the list, and the third place is commonly known as Tanhua, which is collectively known as the Sanding Jia.

We easily passed the township examination and the meeting examination, and waited to participate in the palace examination to get haode results to serve the country, but I blamed me for making friends carelessly, at that time I met a son-in-law brother by chance, who was a high-ranking official and nobleman in the capital.

I thought that this person liked to make friends, so he was very close to me, and often invited us to go to the land of fireworks in the Qinglou to chant poems.

On the wine table one day, he took out a note wrapped in yellow brocade cloth, and when we opened it, we found that there was a note inside, and we spread the note again, which turned out to be an exam question at that time.

At that time, Liu Xin and I were very puzzled in our previous life, and we always felt that something was wrong, so I stuffed the note back after reading it.

"The two of them are contemporary talents, I don't know what to say on this subject?" The boy asked.

I didn't think much about it and said, "I have to let my brother come here, how dare I call myself a genius in front of him." ”

"Brother Xian, you are modest, brother" He stopped talking halfway, and drank and ate by himself.

But this son-in-law is unrelenting, and I am also a good-looking person, so I tried my best to persuade my brother to let him do this exam.

Zuihou couldn't resist me, so he ordered his subordinates to bring pen and ink, and my brother wrote an article in a few strokes, which was really done in one go, and everyone here sighed at his talent.

We drank a lot of wine that night, and then we helped each other back to the inn, and after resting for a few days, we went to the Hanlin Academy to participate in the palace examination.

The moment I saw the exam questions, I was dumbfounded, because this exam question was the one I asked my brother to do that night, and I suddenly had a premonition in my heart.

After the exam, my brother and I were both worried, obviously worried about the leakage of the exam questions, so we went to find the son, but he closed himself under various excuses.

After a few more days, something finally happened, and my brother was taken away by several officials, and I heard that it was related to the leakage of exam questions, and I scolded myself for being troublesome, and my brother didn't want to write it at that time, but he wrote it under his own persuasion.

This is not a trivial matter, but I was going to be killed, and in the afternoon another official sent me to interrogate.

Because I testified that my brother had nothing to do with the leak of the test questions, but my brother was still sentenced to three years in prison and was banned from participating in the scientific examination for life.

At that time, the system was very harsh, and the champion was not allowed to do anything wrong, although the brother had nothing to do with the leakage of the exam questions, but after all, he was involved in it, and he was removed from the status of the champion.

I returned home lonely, and I felt very guilty in my heart, and when I went to participate in the scientific expedition, the two of them went together, but when I came back, I was alone, and my brother had to endure the pain of prison.

Not long after, the bad news came from the cell that my brother had hanged himself in prison, and it was like a bolt from the blue, and I passed out.

After waking up, I deeply blamed myself, I understood the pain in my brother's heart, after more than ten years of hard study, in order to one day the title of the gold list to glorify the ancestors, but not only was imprisoned for no reason, but also punished for life from participating in the scientific examination, for the reader, it is tantamount to killing yourself more painful.
