Chapter 519: How come you are the champion? (Part 2)
The sun was getting higher and Qin Dewei, who was tired and exhausted, was still sleeping.
Not to mention the exhaustion of traveling two thousand and hundreds of miles, after getting off the ship yesterday, we went non-stop to inspect the Ancestral Temple, and we also had to deal with the three important officials in Nanjing.
After returning home, I had to serve Mrs. Gu again. Even a strong man would not be able to avoid being tired.
Suddenly someone shook him a few times, forcibly waking Qin Dewei from his sleep.
He didn't even want to open his eyelids, he just opened his mouth and asked: "What are you doing?"
A voice that might have been a maid replied: "Master uncle is shouting outside."
Qin Dewei really couldn't understand why his uncle was making a noise. It turned out that his uncle never disturbed his sleep.
He reached out and touched his side again, and found that the person beside him was no longer there.
He reluctantly got off the bed, put on his clothes and walked out, when he heard someone's voice outside the screen wall of the courtyard door.
After walking around the screen wall, I saw Mrs. Gu standing at the entrance of the courtyard, talking to her uncle.
Qin Dewei yawned, but still looked very sleepy and asked: "What's the big deal, uncle? Do you want to disturb people's dreams?"
When Qin Xiang saw his nephew, he said: "Now our Qin family is also a big family that inherits poetry and calligraphy. We must never lose our etiquette!"
Qin Dewei: ""
In Qin Dewei's impression, his uncle was still a government servant with "exquisite" beating skills.
Leng Buding heard a yamen servant say, "We have passed down poetry and calligraphy to our family", and for a moment he felt so full that he didn't know where to start.
Qin Xiang added: "Yesterday, we were doing business first, so we didn't need to see anyone else. But today is the first day. You must first visit your teacher, Mr. Wang, and don't ask others to find fault."
In fact, it was Wang Lianqing that Qin Dewei wanted to see today, but it was difficult to refuse his uncle's words, so he delayed first and said: "I'm too tired and sleepy. I'll take a nap first to replenish my energy and have lunch before going out."
Qin Xiang urged: "There is no reason to go in the afternoon to officially visit your parents. Going early will show that you, a disciple, have not forgotten your roots. Don't let the villagers laugh at you!"
Qin Dewei had a headache. Why did his uncle become like this? It turned out that he was not so fussy about etiquette.
I remember that back then, my uncle had always been "doting" on me and always followed her lead.
Qin Dewei couldn't help but said a few words: "When I was in the capital, when I was a bachelor, the family of the minister only depended on my mood! It's not like I refused to visit the teacher. What's wrong with going late?"
Seeing the unwillingness of his eldest nephew, Qin Xiang sighed: "I really don't understand why you are the number one scholar? Even Xiao Kui'er looks more like the number one scholar than you."
Qin Dewei suddenly understood that his status had declined.
Mrs. Gu gave her husband a gentle push and advised, "Go ahead. Go back early and come back early. The gifts have been prepared for you."
Qin Dewei was not sleepy now, so he had to wash up, then ride out on horseback to visit the industry master Wang Yijing outside the Jubao Gate.
This area of Nancheng is a place where wealthy families gather.
Qin Dewei rode out on horseback. The effect was like parading through the streets, and he was almost torn off his tall horse by a few bold women.
He walked a few steps and felt a little scared. Then he returned home and changed into a carriage with a curtain.
After calling a few more strong servants to escort him, he went out again with confidence.
Changganli, Zhuangyuan School.
When Qin Dewei saw Wang Yiqi again, he felt that Teacher Wang was a few years younger.
After the ceremony, he first presented Wang Yijing's family letter from Wang Shangshu, and then chatted with the teacher.
Teacher Wang said with great emotion: "I can't believe that you are the number one scholar?"
Qin Dewei heard this several times from his relatives who knew the truth, and couldn't help but retort: "Why can't it be me?"
In fact, when Teacher Wang heard that even Qin Dewei could get the first prize in the exam, he once had the illusion that he could be better than him.
If I had continued to persevere and participated in the imperial examination more times, I might have been able to get the top prize.
Putting down his unrealistic fantasy, Teacher Wang added: "Thanks to you, my Spring and Autumn Essence will finally be published in a book. So far, I have no regrets in my life. Although I have not made any meritorious deeds, it can still be regarded as a success."
The status of being the Confucian classics teacher of the number one scholar is certainly extraordinary.
The past two days must have been busy. Qin Dewei wanted to leave early and come back in a few days, but he couldn't resist the teacher's enthusiasm and insisted on keeping the top disciple for lunch.
Standing outside the gate of Zhuangyuan School, Ma Er, the follower who had returned to Nanjing with Qin Dewei, asked for instructions: "Where else are we going?"
Qin Dewei ordered: "Find a place to take a nap!"
Ma Er knew it immediately and said to the driver: "Go to Qingxi!"
Half an hour later, we arrived at the 40th scene among the 40 scenic spots in Jinling, the location of Qin Dewei's "original" Changqiao Princess Appreciation: Changbanqiao, which is also Qin Banqiao's Banqiao.
Liu Lang came here again today, and the peach blossoms still smiled in the spring breeze. Qin Dewei got out of the car and walked across the bridge in a leisurely manner.
The scholars and beauties who came here all paid attention, looking at the man who used this floor bridge as a sign, the number one celebrity in Nanjing, a living legend, a superstar among superstars.
Qin Dewei went north along the Qingxi River. Not far away, he came to Zhuangyuanfang and Zhuangyuan Lane, which were both place names that were changed last year.
Knocking on the small door of the real No. 1 Scholar's "former residence", a middle-aged maid she didn't recognize opened the door and asked in confusion: "Who are you?"
Qin Dewei replied as he had done a few years ago: "Xiaosheng Qin Dewei came here to visit Sister Wang."
The middle-aged servant woman opened her eyes wide and quickly invited Qin Dewei in after the announcement.
Qin Dewei stood in a familiar courtyard. After scanning around, he found that this courtyard was connected to the neighboring house.
The middle-aged servant woman explained: "My lady bought the house next door last year and uses it connected to this place."
At this moment, a melodious orchestral sound suddenly came from the other side of the wall, accompanied by the sound of singing.
Qin Dewei passed through the newly opened courtyard gate and came to the courtyard next door.
But I saw five pink young ladies in their twenties or thirteen years old gathered together, some playing musical instruments and some practicing their postures and figures.
When these five young ladies saw Qin Dewei, you pushed me and others gave way, and they all covered their mouths and laughed, which was indescribably pleasing to the eye.
Qin Dewei asked curiously: "Who are you?"
The five people stood up, saluted together and said, "I've met Father Qin!"
Qin Dewei: ""
Since he time traveled, he has been called many different names. What the hell is this Father Qin doing again?
When faced with doubts, one person boldly replied: "Mama Wang asked us to call it that."
Who is Mrs. Wang? According to the industry rules, these are Wang Lianqing's daughters? When Qin Dewei was about to say something else, a voice suddenly came from the direction of the room.
"You five are lazy again? Have you finished practicing today's songs?"
At some point, the still graceful Wang Meiren stood in front of the hall, holding a fan and looking at this side with a half-smile.
The five young ladies quickly moved into action. Four played instruments and one began to sing:
“The chaff and the rice are originally dependent on each other, but they are blown away in two places?
One is lowly and the other is noble, just like a slave and a husband, who will never see each other again.
My husband is Miha, and Mihe has no place elsewhere.
The slave family is just like chaff, how can chaff be used to save people from hunger?"
Qin Dewei: ""
He felt that he was being connoted, so he walked over and asked Wang Lianqing dissatisfiedly: "What kind of piece of music is this?"
Wang Lianqing replied calmly: "Haven't you heard of a passage in "The Legend of Pipa"? What is told here is the story of your number one scholar."
Although Qin Dewei had never heard of "Pipa Chronicles" in the Ming Dynasty, he roughly knew what the story "Pipa Chronicles" was about.
A scholar said goodbye to his parents and wife and went to the capital. After winning the title of Number One Scholar, he married someone else.
Qin Dewei frowned: "Why do you act like a resentful woman?"
Wang Lianqing said stubbornly: "No, how can the slave family be qualified to be a resentful wife?"
Qin Dewei suddenly picked up Miss Wang from the waist, put her on his shoulders and entered the house.
