The onlookers stood on both sides of the alley, and an aunt who didn't know the situation asked in a low voice: "Who are these people? How come Xiao Nian has just passed? How unlucky is this!"
"Yes, this trick is bad. I guess I will be in bad luck all year, so I must go to the temple to worship." The gray-haired old lady nodded in agreement. When she gets old, she believes in these old sayings.
"Speaking a little bit, I guess it's not a good person." The uncle standing in front kindly reminded him.
These people were different from the wave of troubles in the past few years. Not only did the uncle who made a sound, but many of the people watching also remembered that the relatives of eight scoundrels were caused by the troubles, and the scoundrels died.
Too bad, death means less harm.
But these people in front of them were all wearing strong clothes, either with a knife or a sword on their waists. They were all burly and fierce in appearance. They were all skeletons who could not be provoked. The key is that there were hundreds of people at this glance.
No, not to mention the darkness at the entrance of the alley, there were hundreds of people who could see it.
"No matter who he is, if he comes to Qiu Mansion to cause trouble, I will be the first to refuse!" A strong man who went up the city tower to resist the barbarians a few years ago shouted, they were not ungrateful cowards.
In order to guard the city tower, Mr. Qiu was usually commanding on the city tower at an age. This was a great kindness, and the people of Xiangwu County remembered it in their hearts.
The spacious carriage was dyed with charcoal fire, there were steaming tea on the low table, and a few plates of exquisite pastries.
Qiu Jingyuan, who had been frustrated for several days, listened to the discussion outside and cursed annoyedly; "Why didn't these ignorant untouchables attack the barbarian army at the beginning? Kill a few more to see if they would meddle in other people's business!
”
Qian, who was sitting aside, was shocked. He probably didn't expect Qiu Jingyuan to say such cold-blooded and ruthless words.
But suddenly he met Shangqiu Feng's strange and gloomy eyes, and his cold and bloodthirsty eyes made Qian seem to have been targeted by a poisonous snake. Qian suddenly felt a chill and quickly lowered his head to avoid it.
"The poor mountains and rivers are out of troubled people!" Qiu Zongzhang agreed with an agreement, and the wrinkled old face was full of disdain and contempt. "No wonder that the old man Qiu Zongxi has lived here for eight or nine years. Humph, a bird of a feather!"
Although they were all of their peers, Qiu Zongxi was suppressing them back then, and they could not look up. Not only the members of the Qiu family, but also the same academy and the same prefecture, the entire Qianzhongdao scholars were suppressed by the talented Qiu Zongxi.
Lived.
How dare the light of the firefly fight against the sun and the moon!
Qiu Zongxi is the sun and the moon, while their peers are useless fireflies, not to mention that Qiu Zongxi was born into the Qiong family's legitimate branch, while Qiu Zongzhang was the neglected side branch.
Even after many years, Qiu Zongzhang could still remember the scenes of studying when he was young. Whenever Qiu Zongxi went on a trip, he was surrounded by his talented men and women, reciting poems and writing songs, and singing songs and flowing cups...
Endless romantic and elegant charm.
Qiu Zongzhang also wanted to join this circle, but he was always excluded. Those contemptuous and disdainful eyes and his lofty indifference attitude, Qiu Zongzhang still gritted his teeth when he remembered it.
The past in my mind made Qiu Zongzhang's expression distorted a little, and his old face became more mean and ferocious. "What are you waiting for? If you don't open the door, you will knock the door open!"
This time, with enough people in hand, Qiu Zongzhang planned to take the opportunity to take revenge on Qiu Zongxi. Everyone said that he was open-minded, bah! In Qiu Zongzhang's opinion, he was a hypocrite, a real villain!
If Qiu Zongxi really doesn't seek fame and fortune and doesn't care about power, why didn't he introduce the classmates and close friends he made to him?
Qiu Zongxi didn't want to be an official, but he had always planned to be an imperial examination. It's a pity that he was not lucky. Qiu Zongzhang originally wanted Qiu Zongxi to help introduce one or two ministers in the court. He was also a juren, so he first made up a vacancy in the Ministry of Personnel, even if he was a seventh rank.
So what about the county magistrate?
As long as Qiu Zongxi is willing to help, he can be promoted after passing the Ministry of Personnel's assessment every three years, and he can be promoted to six ministries in at most ten years, and he can be appointed as an official at the foot of the emperor.
Qiu Zongzhang even thought about it. At that time, he would be an official in the capital and Qiu Zongxi stayed in Qianzhongdao. Their cousins could complement each other. Of course, he was an official in the capital and could face the emperor directly, so the family's connections should naturally be dominated by himself.
When one day he enters the cabinet and becomes the emperor's confidant minister, he will definitely give back to his family. The Qiu family may become a big family in the capital, and it is just around the corner to be named a marquis and ministers!
But Qiu Zongzhang did not expect that Qiu Zongxi was so cold-blooded and ruthless. Not only did he stop him, he even refused to let his family seek official positions for him and cut off his career!
Qiu Feng looked at Qiu Zongzhang with a sarcastic look of hatred and wanted to avenge his previous shame, and said sarcastically: "Second Grandpa, you are the person in charge, everything is followed by your command. If the second grandpa is planning to break in, just order it!
"I..." Qiu Zongzhang seemed to have been strangled by someone, and his expression was extremely difficult to see in an instant.
Although Qiu Zongzhang is so cruel, Qiu Zongxi has been accustomed to his power for a long time. Even though the two have not met for more than ten years, the scene of being taught by Qiu Zongxi was vivid in my mind. Qiu Zongzhang was so brave that he was also
I dare not be really rude to Qiu Zongxi. After all, he is a real scholar, but Qiu Zongxi is both civil and military, and his fists are as strong as his temper.
"Brother Feng, let me go!" Although Qiu Jingyuan was only twelve years old, she was the only master in the third room. Qiu Zongzhang, who was relying on her seniority, also scared those juniors from the sidelines, and Qiu Jingyuan ignored her at all.
When he thought of the previous humiliation, Qiu Jingyuan was no longer afraid of the cold and got up and was about to get off the carriage.
Qinghong, who had been waiting by the carriage, heard the noise and immediately stepped forward and lifted the curtain, helped Qiu Jingyuan out of the carriage, "Miss."
Qiu Feng followed closely behind. As for Qiu Zongzhang, he was like a turtle hunched, and picked up the teacup and drank the tea.
Qian hesitated for a moment. It is logical that she should go on, but she is unwilling to offend Qiu Zongxi and Yang Xu. But after all, she is the in-laws of the third wife, and Qiu Feng's sinister eyes made Qian's body feel cold.
After a while, Qian got off the carriage and winked at the martial maid beside him. The two of them retreated to the corner and stood.
Qiu Jingyuan looked at the guards standing neatly in two rows, and her bloodthirsty and solemn aura made Qiu Jingyuan finally smile on her face, "Thank you, Brother Feng."
"You are my cousin, why should we be polite? Bullying you is bullying our three bedrooms,"
