He was famous before, but only in a small area. After the Xumi magic weapon incident at Xiangguo Temple, it quickly became a hot topic among people in Kyoto. Many people wanted to see his paintings to see if they were really that magical.
However, Cui Weizhen did not sell many paintings in the past, and their values have increased rapidly recently. Many people cherish their collections and are unwilling to transfer them at all, making his paintings hard to find.
Not long after, Cui Weizhen's fame was pushed to its peak.
Because His Majesty also saw Cui Weizhen's painting, which was the "Picture of Ladies" that appeared in Xiangguo Temple. His Majesty greatly praised it, praising it as "a god created by heaven, with countless heroic spirits."
This sentence spread outside the palace, triggering a lively discussion and pursuit. Even His Majesty praised the painting. Who dares to say anything bad about it?
All in all, Cui Weizhen is really popular! He has become a popular scholar in this spring period. Many people think that this boy has a bright future.
As a sensational protagonist, Cui Weizhen's life was no different, except that his studies in the Imperial College were more colorful.
As a scholar from Linxi County, Xu Ziqin was also brought to the forefront because of Cui Weizhen's relationship. Many people inquired about him for various purposes and tried to dig out more secrets.
Although the friendship between Cui Weizhen and Xu Ziqin is not as close as before, Xu Ziqin's intellectual upbringing will not allow him to be a gossip and frame-up villain, so he has never said anything unfavorable about Cui Weizhen, even in Ye Zhenzhen's sketches
The painting method was also confirmed by him, so that those villains with ulterior motives were stillborn.
It is precisely because of Cui Weizhen that he, a small county magistrate with no power and no relatives, was able to survive peacefully in the Imperial College where the children of powerful people were everywhere - if it had been anyone else, with his humble status, he would have been bullied.
share.
Even though Cui Weizhen never said it, Xu Ziqin knew that this was because of his secret protection.
But his wife Qin Yueru doesn't think so.
The capital is large and difficult to live in.
The Xu family was just a small wealthy family. They had used a relationship to support Xu Ziqin to study in the Imperial College. They had exhausted all their wealth, so they could only live in a low-rent house in Xiandefang. Qin Yueru had been pampered and raised. He had never lived in such a simple house before. Unknowingly
It accumulated a lot of complaints and unwillingness.
When Xu Ziqin once again lamented Cui Weizhen's friendship, she said sourly, "What kind of help is this? If he really cared about your friendship as classmates, he wouldn't let you be ordered around by those powerful and powerful children.
.Now that he has become famous all over the world, he has never thought of supporting you. With our ability and lack of power, when will we be able to get ahead?"
When Xu Ziqin first entered the Imperial College, he would indeed be bullied, but now because of Cui Weizhen's relationship, it is no longer the case. As for the theory of support, if you have offended someone before, it would be fine if you are not deliberately retaliating. Do you still want to be promoted?
Besides, does this mean you don’t believe in his ability?
He suddenly became angry and said, "What nonsense are you talking about? In the future, I will rely on my own ability to get ahead. What kind of man am I relying on others? You are not allowed to say such things again in the future."
Qin Yueru was startled, but still did not change her mind.
Since coming to the capital, she has gone from being a popular young lady in Linxi County to a little person that everyone can step on. Such a gap is unacceptable.
Besides, she had seen a lot of the life of powerless officials in the capital in the low-rent housing. It was really hard for a poor and humble couple to worry about everything, and the family lived in a small house. She never wanted to experience this kind of life.
She now desperately wants to leave this place and become a popular young mistress again, even if she can't stay in the capital, she doesn't care.
So she continued, "Isn't what I said right? Cousin, if you don't plan to end next year, you will have to wait another three years. Have you calculated how much you will spend in the capital in these three years? Our family simply cannot afford it.
Get up! Either you take the exam together next year, or let go of Cui Weizhen's relationship and let you find a job."
Juren already has the qualifications to be an official, but he can only be a low-ranking official. However, if he has connections, he can also become a county magistrate in some small places.
Obviously, this is what Qin Yueru expected.
Xu Ziqin felt as if he had been slapped in the face, his face was blue and white. He knew that this was a very real problem, but he was still very embarrassed when Qin Yueru raised it nakedly.
He was silent for a long time, finally suppressing the depression in his heart, and then said, "No, my current knowledge is not enough. If I fall into the same position as a Jinshi, my career will be ruined. As for the matter of seeking vacancies, let alone
."
He couldn't bear it even as a Jinshi, let alone seeking vacancies as a candidate.
"Why not? There are ways to be promoted if you become an official, so why bother to insist on taking the Jinshi exam? There have been countless Jinshi since the founding of the Zhou Dynasty, and there are only a few who have become ministers. Why should we take this path?"
Qin Yueru was not a scholar and did not understand a scholar's persistence in being a Jinshi and his ambition for an official career. Such a relaxed and indifferent tone completely angered Xu Ziqin.
"Short-sighted, womanly view!"
His face turned red with anger, "If you really can't bear the suffering in the capital, you can go back to Linxi County. I can take care of myself by myself."
He didn't get angry when Qin Yueru offended the Cui family before, but now that his ideals have been trampled on, he can't bear it anymore.
Qin Yueru suddenly panicked.
Originally, her mother-in-law wanted her to stay in Linxi County to serve her parents-in-law, and arranged for a concubine to accompany Xu Ziqin to Beijing. If she didn't want to, she contacted her parents' family to test the pressure, and then got the opportunity to accompany Xu Ziqin to Beijing. If she was driven back this time,
Her life is over.
Just thinking about her status being replaced by those little goblins made her tremble with anger, so she didn't dare to be stubborn anymore and said in a gentle voice, "I'm sorry, cousin, it was my fault. We haven't left each other for many years after we got married.
But, I can’t bear to leave you.”
She goes out of her way to be gentle, please in every possible way, and uses all kinds of tricks to coax people.
After all, they were young sweethearts, a young couple with a close friendship, and they were cousins. Xu Ziqin was quickly coaxed, and the matter was dismissed as a matter of course.
After getting over the deportation crisis, Qin Yueru's desire to cling to the Cui family never stopped.
Qin Yueru is self-aware. Since the last time she couldn't help but be jealous and ridiculed Ye Zhenzhen, she has been included in the Cui family's list of people who refuse to associate with her. If she wants to establish a relationship with the Cui family again, she still needs an opportunity.
Xu Ziqin didn't want to bring her to the door, so she had to find a way on her own.
Huangtian paid off. Perhaps God was moved by her sincerity and sent the opportunity to her.
On this day, she saw a familiar woman in Xiandefang.
