As soon as Qiu Huaixin arrived, Jiao Lianyu came out to greet him personally, Qi Changlin and four classmates from the official school who came first also hurriedly came out. Even though the scholars were noble, no one would foolishly offend the governor's family.
Young Master.
After some greetings and courtesy, Qiu Huaixin entered the main hall and looked around. Even though the sun was so beautiful in late autumn, the main hall where guests were still waiting for guests still looked cramped and dark, and the tables and chairs were all over the ages, and it was creaking when they sat on it.
"The rough tea is bitter, I hope Brother Qiu will take care of it." Qi Changlin poured the tea, but he said that he was not self-righteous. The tea was picked by his wife in the mountains.
Although it is wild tea, because of the average skill of stir-frying tea, the tea can be eaten at all. Not to mention the taste, even the tea that the in charge of the prefecture drank is better than this.
"Brother Qi is polite." Qiu Huaixin smiled loudly, picked up the teacup and took a sip. The bitter taste spread in his mouth instantly. It's hard. Qiu Huaixin's expression was twisted when he swallowed the tea. He had never drunk such bitter tea in his life.
, which is a little better than the medicine juice.
Fortunately, although the tea is difficult to eat, the table was made by Qi Changlin's cousin. Although it is a country chef, you can tell that the taste of this dish must be good, maybe not like
Yipinlou is so exquisite that it is also full of color, fragrance and taste.
Qi Changlin invited Qiu Huaixin and the other two today. Qi Changlin was poor and Qi Changlin was arrogant and noble. It was normal that he had three or five classmates and friends in the official school.
The six people were sitting in the main hall at this moment, talking about official school or talking about interesting stories in the countryside, and Qiu Huaixin and Jiao Lianyuye talked about some things in the officialdom.
Among the two, the former is white, while the latter is still studying in the official school, but after all, they are children of officials and often read the official residences, so they are well-versed in the news about the capital and other prefectures.
For a moment, there were bursts of laughter in the main hall, but it was exactly the same as the saying that there were great scholars in talking and laughing, but there were no white people in the conversation.
"If you are not lonely, you will have neighbors. Lord Zhou is a true gentleman." The young man spoke seriously, showing a yearning look on his face, as if he wanted to go to Nanjiang Mansion under Lord Zhou's jurisdiction.
Jiao Lianyu smiled and agreed, "In the past, King Zhou of Shang was tyrannical. Although Zhou was a small country, King Wu of Zhou was kind, so that Jiang Shang, Zhou Gongdan, Zhao Gongyi and other wise men competed for loyalty first."
The Zhou Dynasty became increasingly prosperous, but the Shang Dynasty gradually became destructive, which means that the king has virtue and loses virtue.
Qi Changlin was originally a noble character. He has been controversial in the village over the years because of studying and studying, but even so he did not give up. Qi Changlin firmly believed that the people in the village were vulgar, so he did not understand his desire to learn.
If he had not studied or went to the official school, how could he have met a virtuous person like Guizhang? For a moment, Qi Changlin looked at Jiao Lianyu who was talking and talking, and the scholar died for his confidant.
The classmate sitting next to Jiao Lianyu nodded in agreement and took the speech aloud, "What Guizhang said is very good, the Zhou Dynasty is prosperous and prosperous, and historical records record: At the time of Chengkang, the world is peaceful, and the criminal measures will not be used for more than 40 years. I will be pilgrimage to Daqing.
The wise man, even if there are villains now, the wise man cherishes his talents and it is only a matter of time before the world returns to his heart.”
When it comes to the emperor, the imperial examination, and the official position, the people are in high spirits. Even Qi Changlin can't suppress his ambitions in his eyes.
On the contrary, Qiu Huaixin felt a little bored when he heard it. Suddenly, the "Child Prodigy" recited during his childhood enlightenment: He was a farmer in the morning and ascended to the emperor's hall in the evening. Generals and ministers were originally without a seed, so men should be self-improvement.
Qiu Huaixin thoughtfully glanced at several friends who "Learn from literature and martial arts, and have the goods and the imperial family." Suddenly, he remembered Zhan Feiyu. He was studying and taking the imperial examinations. However, Zhan Feiyu did not study for the sake of
As an official, her diligence and hard study seemed to be just for the sake of studying.
Jiao Lianyu stopped talking while drinking tea. Seeing Qi Changlin and the others talking enthusiastically, he couldn't help but look at Qiu Huaixin, who was indifferent, "I heard that Brother Huaixin's good things are approaching. Should I congratulate you in advance?"
Qiu Huaixin heard a lot of these jokes in the past two days. After all, the Qiu family is a century-old family and the clan members are prosperous. There is no change in the past, and the elders of the clan come to the mansion to inquire.
It’s just that Qiu Dare is busy with official business, and Lord Qiu is the governor of Qianzhongdao. Even the Qiu family dare not delay Lord Qiu’s time because of this little news. Therefore, the female family members of the clan came to Qiu.
The adults were inquiring about the news, and they also joked about Qiu Huaixin, who had not yet started a family after the twentieth crown.
"It's just a matter of catching the wind and shadows." Qiu Huaixin smiled helplessly. He couldn't stand the fifth girl of the Gu family. Moreover, when he thought that it might be the Wu family that secretly murdered him, Qiu Huaixin would have a shadow on women from the aristocratic family.
Qi Dafei Ou is just a white person and does not have much motivation. If he marrys the fifth girl of Gu, he will probably have to study hard like Guizhang and others in the future.
Qiu Huaixin had been unrestrained for more than 20 years. He didn't want to endure the rest of his life. He wanted to study for the imperial examination and had to earn qualifications in the government office after he became an official. Even if he had family connections, he wanted to become a person at the age of knowing his destiny.
All fourth-rank officials have some difficulties.
As long as Qiu Huaixin thinks this way, the little ambition and desire that occasionally emerges in his heart will be wiped out instantly. He still married a wife with an ordinary family background. The couple can live a life of little wealth and a happy life. In the future, the elder brother and the second brother will take care of him.
, Qiu Huaixin felt that his life was almost done.
"Dad, Grandpa Tang is already ready." At this moment, a short figure appeared at the door. He was probably a little timid. The little girl held the door frame with one hand and dared to poke her head in from outside, "Dad, Grandpa Tang is already ready."
. ""
Qiu Huaixin looked up and saw a half-sized girl. At first glance, she looked similar to Zhan Feiyu. She looked childish with her two buns, but she was a little thin, her face was pale and her voice was also very delicate.
"This is Brother Changlin's daughter." Jiao Lianyu waved to the little girl.
I guess he had been here a few times and even gave the little girl clothes. So when he saw Jiao Lianyu, the little girl laughed shyly, then entered the house and saluted Jiao Lianyu's clothes with a little restrained look.
"An An comes here to meet some uncles." Qi Changlin stood up and walked over, and asked his daughter, whose nickname is An An, to meet everyone.
Except for Jiao Lianyu, the others have seen the little girl for the first time. Qiu Huaixin and others have also given gifts to each other. Although they are all gadgets, they still make the little girl smile happily.
Especially Qiu Huaixin gave a little rabbit carved by white jade. The small hand-held piece is expensive because of its exquisite carving, especially the eyes are two red spots, which makes the white jade rabbit vivid and realistic.
Qiu Huaixin suddenly remembered that Zhan Feiyu came to Qiu Mansion to visit that day. Because it was Lord Qiu who was personally hospitalized in the study, Qiu Huaixin directly regarded Zhan Feiyu as a fellow generation.
At this moment, looking at An An who couldn't put down the White Jade Rabbit, Qiu Huaixin remembered his rudeness that day. Even if Zhan Feiyu had fame and fortune, he was only a half-sized girl.
Qi Tangbo's dishes are indeed good, especially the dried mushrooms picked in the mountains and the dried wild vegetables. This makes the dishes a fresh word.
"This peach blossom brew was also brewed by my cousin himself." Qi Changlin raised his glass, and the few people also raised their glasses. The dishes were good and the wine was better. In addition, the ones gathered were like-minded friends, and during the meal.
The atmosphere became more lively, and I couldn't help but drink several more cups.
As a servant, Shi Song never entered the house. Fortunately, although the Qi family is poor, the house is big, with seven rooms. At this time, Shi Song was having dinner with Qi Changlin's cousin and Qiu Huaixin and his entourage.
As for the fact that Madam Qi and her two children just had a fight in the kitchen, then took the two children back to the bedroom, not wanting to disturb Qi Changlin and the others' gathering.
"A few of my young masters seem to be drunk, I'll go and take a look." Shi Song heard that Qiu Huaixin seemed to be drunk in the main room separated by a wall. At this moment, he hurriedly put down his bowls and chopsticks and stood up.
Except for the servants present, all the masters were the main ones. Shi Song's departure did not seem rude. At this time, the few people also raised their ears and listened to the movement. If their master drank too much, they would have to.
If you serve in the past, you can't let your master be embarrassed, otherwise it might be a scandal when you become an official in the future.
