After the powerful minister was reborn, he married the delicate girl back home

"Zhu'er, since you started enlightenment when you were three years old, I have spent so much effort to make you a talented person and serve the country in the future. Ordinary people can't afford pens, inks, paper and inkstones, but you are surrounded by great scholars, and they even let you choose. Do you think they value your talent and learning? No, it’s because of my friendship with them for many years. Otherwise, according to your understanding, you would have been kicked out long ago. You still don’t know how to cherish..."

The more Lu Yuanzhou talked, the angrier he became. He felt that Lu Qianzhu was so unsatisfactory and idle all day, which was really embarrassing.

The fourteen-year-old boy had a strong self-esteem. These words completely ignited his anger, so he stood up suddenly and retorted loudly, "Do you think I care about those great scholars? They are so hypocritical, and their faces are so different. You are friends with me, but in fact I look down on you at all, saying that you gave up your position as a businessman for love, you are short-sighted, and you deserve to live in this small town for the rest of your life. I couldn't hold it back at the time, I had a big quarrel with them, and ran back, but you Blame me for being ignorant and ignorant of etiquette...

But I'm afraid that you'll be sad, so I don't dare to tell you. Anyway, in your eyes, I'm just a waste, so it doesn't matter.

Dad, I like to study, but I don’t like to take the imperial examination. Why do you have to let me enter the court and become a scholar? There are good and bad scholars, and so do businessmen. "

After hearing these words, Lu Yuanzhou fell silent. He knew that his son had such a temper that he would not talk nonsense easily.

It's not nonsense, it's true. He regarded those people as his lifelong friends, and was even willing to send his only son there to study. However, he didn't expect that those people would view him in this way, and he couldn't help but feel a little sad.

That's all, if the Tao is different and the world doesn't understand him, it doesn't matter. Just stick to yourself.

People should be more open-minded!

Lu Yuanzhou thought for a while, looked at the young man in front of him, and softened his tone a lot, "It turns out that I wrongly blamed you. I should have said "I'm sorry", but Zhu'er, you acted too recklessly. You should come back and tell dad." .”

After listening to the first half of the words, Lu Qianzhu was a little moved, but after hearing the second half, maybe he shouldn't have expectations.

"What's the point of telling you? You can't save the face to argue with them. Why don't you let me come and give them a good scolding? Anyway, I'm not afraid of offending anyone."

After saying that, he sat on the chair and poured a cup of tea to moisten his throat. His throat hurt from talking too hard just now.

Lu Yuanzhou shook his head and said with great disapproval, "Look, don't be so reckless. You must have a good relationship on the surface, otherwise you will definitely suffer in the future."

"Yes, yes, but dad, for the sake of me fighting for justice for you in anger, can you let me go today?"

"No, one code is the same. It's wrong for you to skip class today. You are not allowed to use the dinner. I will go to Mrs. Li's house with me tomorrow to apologize. The county exam is coming soon. Zhu'er, you can't stop taking the exam. The Lu family I can’t afford to lose this person.”

"Oh, Dad, I really don't want to..."

Before he finished speaking, his father walked away. Lu Qianzhu put down his teacup depressedly. Then he felt happy when he thought of his own little treasury. If he was not allowed to go where he wanted to go, how could being an official be as fun as doing business? He spent his whole life in poverty as a petty official, and became extremely rich as a small businessman. Although he has no shortage of money to spend, is there anyone in this world who doesn't love money?

He will definitely not go to the county examination. Before his father breaks his leg, he has to find the right time to run quickly. He wants to go to Jiangnan. I heard that the scenery there is pleasant, a land of fish and rice, and the silk fabrics are very good, and the satin is smooth and smooth. If you want to use it to make clothes, many girls will definitely rush to buy them. I also want to go to the border area, which is rich in jewelry and has rich exotic customs. If I get the documents one day, I must go there...

Lu Qianzhu was thinking about a bright future. He could be a businessman, search for treasures from all over the country, make money, and travel around. Wouldn't this kill two birds with one stone? Isn't it much better than being trapped in the court, doing repetitive work day after day?

Although his father was rich in knowledge, in his opinion, he was just like the frog in the well. He spent his whole life traveling back and forth between the capital and the small town, and for decades he got tired of looking at the vegetation.

He is different. He wants to see the mist and rain in the south of the Yangtze River, the wind and snow in the north of the Great Wall, the sunset in the desert, the dew in the morning, the rising sun at dawn... Everything is the same. He wants to take a good look and remember these things. Write it down in books and draw it on scrolls.

Reading thousands of books, traveling thousands of miles, doing business and traveling is also a kind of reading, and it is also an extraordinary life.

Lu Qianzhu made up his mind that he must go out.

He may encounter various difficulties along the way, but he doesn't want to be trapped in the court, because such a life seems to see the end at a glance, which is really boring.

This can be regarded as the most harmonious relationship between father and son. The harmony is so gratifying.

Time flies so fast, and it is already less than three months since the examination on the ninth day of February. The family begins to help Gu Xingmo pack his luggage in a hurry. Going to Beijing to take the exam is not a piece of cake. Besides, the town is far away from the capital. It will take a lot of time, so it is better to go early.

After waiting for many years, as long as Gu Xingmo becomes a Jinshi, he will have the opportunity to stay in the capital. Even if he is unlucky, he can work in other places. The lowest official position is the eighth grade.

Thinking that their family has been clothed in commoners for generations, once they come out to understand the Yuan Dynasty, if they pass... everyone is still a little confused.

Before departure, Gu Xingmo went to see Lu Yuanzhou again. Lu Yuanzhou was full of confidence in this protégé. With his knowledge, it would not be difficult to pass the exam, but he didn't dare to say that he wanted to become a member. There are still experts here.

Sighing, he immediately wrote a handwritten letter, asking Gu Xingmo to take this handwritten letter to the Duke of Qin's Mansion to stay temporarily after he came to Beijing. Jinzhi had been waiting for him for a long time.

Afterwards, he told Gu Xingmo again, "My in-law cherishes talents the most. Although his official position is not high now, the Qin family's century-old heritage is here. In addition, he has made many friends and is open-minded and transparent. If you can gain his appreciation, you will avoid many detours in the future."

At this point, Gu Xingmo understood everything. He bowed and said respectfully, "Please help me introduce him. I will definitely live up to your expectations."

……

After coming out of Lu's house, it was already late at night. Gu Xingmo returned home. Li Jiaorong left a light for him and lay on the table, sleeping soundly.

The flickering candlelight made the little girl's eyebrows look more delicate and soft, which made him feel reluctant to leave her. When he thought that the two of them would be separated for several months, he felt even more reluctant to leave her.

But he had to go. The expectations of his family and mentor, the hatred he carried... none of them could be let down.

Thinking of this, Gu Xingmo's eyes were filled with frost. He would definitely make the Cui family pay the price, and let these evil-hearted people who bullied him and insulted his family be punished.

Li Jiaorong woke up, first she let out a milky "Hmm", then she rubbed her sleepy eyes and said softly, "Is your husband back? Are you hungry? Have you had dinner?"

Hearing her voice, Gu Xingmo came back to his senses. The frost receded and turned into tenderness again, "It's been used."

The little girl nodded, then covered her mouth and yawned.

"Go to bed when you're sleepy."

Li Jiaorong stretched out her hand and said coquettishly, "I don't want to leave, but I want my husband to carry me."

"it is good."

After saying that, Gu Xingmo picked her up by the waist and put her gently on the bed. Maybe she was really sleepy. As soon as her head hit the pillow, Li Jiaorong fell asleep. She slowly let go of Gu Xingmo's hand holding the corner of her clothes. .

Gu Xingmo smoothed the little girl's hair on her temples, leaned over and kissed her forehead. His kiss was very solemn.

Then he murmured, "Wait for me, I won't let you down again."
