Chapter 2: This story is a little familiar.....
Chen Jinshi, if you encounter something strange, don't hide it, you will die......
By the time he was awarded the official on the second day, Chen Qing was still constantly thinking about the words of the Shaoqing of Dali Temple yesterday, whether the other party was warning himself or prompting himself?
If it's a warning to yourself, is it really a group of people who are making a show? Deliberately forgetting Choi Yan's wife?
But what is the meaning of this?
If it's a reminder to yourself....... are you really hell?
"Chen Qing is back? Tell us quickly, where is the judge? ”
Chen Qing came back to his senses when he heard the voice, and saw a group of familiar faces, his expression suddenly relaxed slightly, the place where he lived was a Confucius Temple in the southern suburbs of Beijing, and it was a place donated by a great benevolent person in the capital for the poor scholars to stay in Beijing when they were preparing for the exam.
"Youzhou Qi County, I am a second-class person at the bottom of the ranking, what good place can I get in?" Chen Qing replied with a smile.
"That's not bad...... one of the mellow fat men said: "With our family background, being able to become an officer is already a smoke from the ancestral tomb, where are we qualified to be picky?" You and Cui Yan were admitted the first time they came, how can they be like us......"
"That's it....." Another tall and thin man also said: "A few of us have a little foundation at home, and we can provide one or two times, and many classmates in this temple have already returned to their homes yesterday, preparing to learn to be a master in the local county....."
Chen Qing also sighed a little when he heard this, it is not easy for the children of the peasant family to study, pen, ink, paper, inkstone, apprenticeship, and the cost of studying in the county and state capital, how many families can afford to really farm the land?
Just like himself, his father died early, if it weren't for the family's tofu business, it would not be good, and he couldn't afford it at all, but even so, it reached the point of selling his ancestral property, and more than half of the income of the eldest brother and sister-in-law was used for himself, and the younger sister's dowry has not been settled at all.
If you can't pass the exam this time, it will be difficult for the family to have the spare energy to get a few hundred taels for yourself to go to Beijing to catch the exam!
"By the way, Chen Qing, why didn't Cui Yan come back with you? We still want to touch the light of the flowers! ”
Chen Qing was stunned for a moment, and looked at the fat man who spoke, this fat man's name is Zhou Haitao, he is also from Liuzhou, he and Cui Yan went to Beijing a year earlier to prepare, and they were classmates who studied together when they were in school.
Seeing that the other party didn't know that Cui Yan was dead, his heart moved, yes, this ancient is not like modern times, a big event can spread all over the country within a few hours, the Confucius Temple is located in a remote area, and the scholars who have been living here are naturally not as well-informed as their Jinshi, and it is normal to not know that Cui Yan has died violently.....
Thinking of this, Chen Qing looked at Zhou Haitao: "Haitao, Cui Yan is so handsome, why didn't he say kiss?" ”
"Isn't this nonsense?" The corners of Zhou Haitao's mouth twitched: "He is so talented and so good-looking, such capital has to go to the capital to find a good Yue family, and I won't tie it if it's me!" ”
Chen Qing looked at each other dead when he heard this, and the expression on his face surnamed Zhou was extremely natural, not like he was acting at all!
"Fatty, will you remember the Narcissus poem three years ago?"
"I said don't call me fat, and I won't be allowed to be an official!" Zhou Haitao glared at Chen Qing, then frowned, and touched his fat chin: "What narcissus poetry club?" ”
As soon as these words came out, Chen Qing's heart was cold, and there was no luck.
Three years ago, I just went to Liuzhou to study, that year there was a spring snow in Liuzhou that has not been encountered for ten years, and the daffodils in Qinyuan in the north of the city bloomed everywhere.
That time, Cui Yan, who was only sixteen years old, shocked the audience with a song of spring snow, and he became famous, and was photographed by many daughters at the same time, and the limelight can be described as extremely prosperous!
It was also at that time that Huang Fuzi's daughter fell in love with Cui Yan and asked Huang Fuzi to ask about her relatives in person.
This incident once made Chen Qing complain for a long time, after all, in many historical novels, it is the protagonist who travels through to shine in the poetry club and win the hearts of girls, this Cui Yan took the script that should have belonged to him Chen Qing!
It's a pity that he was a science and engineering man in his previous life, and he focused on coding for many years after graduation, and he forgot about Tang poetry and Song Ci for a long time, and he couldn't be a copyist. Can't fit this beep......
It's just that I didn't expect Cui Yan, who took the protagonist's script, to be such a result, and I didn't expect that all the traces of the past would be erased!
Chen Qing looked at Zhou Fatzi's unpretentious look, and no longer hesitated, and hurriedly went back to his room to pack up his salute.
"Eh, Chen Qing, what are you doing here?" Zhou Haitao and several people chased after him, and when they saw Chen Qing, who was packing up his salute, he was stunned: "This is leaving?" We're going to throw you a celebration party! ”
"That's not necessary...... Chen Qing waved his hand without looking back: "This time the place is urgent, the officials only gave us twenty days, and I still have to go back to Liuzhou to pick up my mother and brother and sister-in-law, it's really too late to ....."
He didn't lie about this, the time given by the officials was really tight, and it was true that he wanted to go back to Liuzhou to pick up his mother, but it was not enough to have a meal.
I just want to leave this place as soon as possible, and even take my family away from Liuzhou as soon as possible, and completely leave the place where there were traces of Cui Yan!
He has thought about it, the climate in Youzhou is not pleasant, far less beautiful than Liuzhou, but the place is good, and it makes no sense to live a hard life, he is at least a parent official in Qi County, Youzhou, and the people below are the people who are in a bad environment.
And the ancestral property of the family has been sold out, and there is nothing to be nostalgic for, the family receives their own land, and the mother enjoys the blessings, and then there is no need to push tofu at an age, and the brother and sister-in-law can also have a little business of their own, and they can also find a good family for the little sister, and even the nephew can arrange it for himself to study or something, is it not better than staying in the weird place of Liuzhou?
After packing up his things and bidding farewell to Zhou Fatzi and the others, Chen Qing hurriedly prepared to leave.
As a result, not far from the Confucius Temple, he was stopped by a carriage, and a person came down from it to make Chen Qing chuckle in his heart, it was the Shaoqing Wang Ye of Dali Temple who asked him yesterday!
"Hey, it's a coincidence, Chen Jinshi....oh no, now I should call Chen County Order."
You're a big-headed ghost.....
Chen Qing rolled his eyes, bowed and said, "Where are you going, my lord?" ”
"Go to Liuzhou....." The other party smiled and said, "Go and see if the testimony of Chen County Ling is wrong." ”
"The late ..... the officials have already said that they are drunk and misspoken, why should the adults chase after them?" Chen Qing was a little anxious, what's going on? I can't mess with myself, I can't hide anymore?
"Is it a mistake, don't you know when you go?" Wang Ye smiled: "The official is also from Liuzhou, and he happened to take advantage of the excuse to visit his relatives at home. ”
"Lord Wang is from Liuzhou?" Chen Qing frowned.
"yes....." The other party put away his smile and said solemnly: "So this official, there is no room for anything strange, the hometown of the cholera official." ”
Chen Qing's heart sank, and he forced a smile: "My lord's words are strange, what is a strange thing?" ”
"Don't you know?" Wang Ye looked at Chen Qing faintly: "I thought you knew." ”
After a few breaths of silence, Chen Qing plucked up the courage to ask, "What do you mean?" ”
Wang Ye looked at the other party and smiled again: "Get in the car, talk slowly on the road....."
Chen Qing glanced at the inside of the car and hesitated.
"You can't be afraid of me, right?" Wang Ye said with a smile: "This official is a fourth-grade official, and there are more royal guards deployed by the saint to accompany you when you go to Liuzhou, think for yourself Is it safe for you to be a weak scholar on the road alone, or is it safer to follow this official?" ”
Chen Qing no longer hesitated when he heard this, the other party was right, if it was really something strange, it would be dangerous to go on the road alone!
After getting into the car, Wang Ye closed the curtains, and the surrounding guards, except for the general who drove the car, the rest of the people tacitly stayed away from the carriage.
Chen Qing closed his anus and sat a little away from the other party.....
"Master Chen and Cui Yan must have had a very good relationship when they went to Beijing together, so they must want to know how he died, right?"
Chen Qing lowered his head with a dark face, he didn't want to know, the dead friend is not the poor one, Cui Yan has a good relationship with him, but there is such a thing as a friend, if there is no such thing, find another one.
But I can't seem to hide from it.....
Sighing, Chen Qing could only follow the other party's words and said, "Didn't you say a violent death?" ”
"When you are young and have studied martial arts, how can you die so easily?" Wang Ye said quietly: "I died miserably, my stomach was cut open, and my heart, liver and kidneys were gone!" ”
"How so?" Chen Qing was shocked: "At the feet of the Son of Heaven, how can anyone treat a new science and technology scholar so brutally?" ”
Wang Ye stared at Chen Qing for a long time, and then changed his words and said, "Lord Chen has seen the Persona of the previous dynasty?" ”
Chen Qing hurriedly threw up his hand when he heard this: "My lord said that he laughed, the books of the previous dynasty were all forbidden, and the lower officials had also read the law, so they didn't dare to know the law and break the law!" ”
"Lord Chen is right......" Wang Ye nodded: "Then the official will make an exception and talk to Lord Chen.....
"Can I not listen?"
Wang Ye ignored Chen Qing's weak resistance, and said to himself: "Xuanzong of the previous dynasty once favored a Liu Guifei very much, that concubine came from a scholarly family, and her reputation was far and wide, and she was very favored after entering the palace, and Xuanzong made her a concubine in just three years, and even wanted to abolish the current queen and vacate the position for this woman......
"And then?" Chen Qing looked at each other with a curious look, but in fact, he was really shocked, this plot ..... so familiar!
"And then she died......" Wang Ye said quietly: "The one who was poisoned was obviously unable to guard against the harem methods, but strange things happened." ”
"What's weird?" Chen Qing followed the other party's words and asked very cooperatively.
"After Concubine Liu died, a series of very strange things happened." Wang Ye said with a smile: "First of all, her father, Master Shangshuliu of the Ministry of Rites, suddenly remembered that she had never had this daughter at all. ”
"Many people in the capital also remembered that the poetry meetings that Liu Guifei once shone in were all fake, and her words and poems were all someone else's!"
"Didn't anyone know about it before?" Chen Qing suppressed the beating in his heart and asked.
"Theoretically should know ....." Wang Ye replied: "Because those poems are the masterpieces that some talents in the capital rely on to become famous, but the strange thing is that since Liu Guifei became famous, everyone seems to have forgotten the original author of those poems, until she was poisoned and everyone remembered, do you think this thing is evil?" ”
"Yes...... It's wicked....." Chen Qing swallowed his saliva and smiled reluctantly.
"Really?" Wang Ye looked at Chen Qing with a smile: "But I don't think Lord Chen is so surprised, or has Lord Chen seen it?" Or....know what that is? ”
"My lord said that he was joking, how could the lower officials know?" Chen Qing smiled bitterly and shook his head: "It's just that the adults are too mysterious, and the lower officials subconsciously listen to the story, and the subordinates don't believe this!" ”
"Really?" Wang Ye looked at the other party for a long time, and finally retracted his gaze, closed his eyes and said, "Zi is silent..... is it strange and confused?" Heh..... Kong Sheng also has times to lie....."
Chen Qing lowered his head and pretended not to hear the other party's disrespectful words, and the other party did not continue to ask, and the two fell into silence.
In silence, Chen Qing closed his eyes and recalled a memory from a long, long time ago that he was about to forget.
Although he was a human in two lives, the things in his previous life were all more than twenty years ago, and now he is a little reluctant to think about the details, but he still remembers some of the general.
Xuanzong, Liu Guifei, Thousand-faced Fox!
As soon as the other party mentioned it, he knew what was going on, where was this innocent ancient world? It's clearly a ghost world designed by yourself!!
