Old Man

Old Man

The emperor's words made him so frightened that he broke into a cold sweat.

The prince-in-law is the most difficult official in the world. The husband-in-law of a princess is known as the most difficult man in the world. According to the rules, if a prince-in-law wants to sleep with his wife, he must file an application in advance.

It's not enough just for the princess to agree, the nun in charge must also approve it. The consort will inevitably wonder, who on earth are he going to sleep with?

Because there are so many rules, sleeping with the princess has become a kind of torture. Many princes-in-law simply don't apply and would rather be a living widower.

He simply did not want to suffer this crime. In fact, he was not interested in being an official of any kind. If he were not afraid of angering the emperor and being accused of resisting the imperial decree, the number one scholar would not accept it.

He quickly declared, "Your Majesty, the student has a wife in his family, so he is not suitable for the position of consort. The student is too incompetent and cannot find a position for a while. It is okay to be an alternate. If this is the case, it is not in line with the image of the number one scholar.

, please make another choice, Your Majesty."

The emperor's brows, which had just relaxed, furrowed again, "How can I take back what I have said at will? Do you think that these golden words can be said nonsense? Could it be that you are unwilling to serve me and dare not resist my order, so you are

Such pushback."

I was simply shocked again. The emperor's vision was so poisonous. He could always see through his thoughts, but he still couldn't admit it. "The emperor wrongly blamed the student. I only said this out of consideration for your majesty. If you accept it,

As the consort, my wife’s status is not guaranteed, my students are the least favored by material criticism, and my reputation is damaged, so I really can’t afford to suffer. It’s all because of my poor fortune and incompetence that I have caused problems for the emperor. I feel extremely ashamed, so I don’t

I think of it based on my own ability, and I hope the emperor will forgive me."

The emperor knew that he could not entirely blame Jian Jian. He had just acted on a whim and did not think it over carefully. After hearing what Jian Jian said, he felt that it made sense, so he started looking for a way out, "That's all, because of your loyalty, I won't pursue it any further. I'm sorry.

I would like to ask, what do you like most in your daily life?

To be honest, "When nothing happens, students like to stare at the sky in a daze."

The emperor was curious, "Did you find anything?"

Just pretending to be stupid, "When there are more clouds, it will rain."

The emperor got off the donkey along the slope and said, "It turns out that Aiqing also knows the art of meteorology, so I will send you the Deputy Qintian Supervisor. The drought in the capital area has been going on for many years, and the people have been suffering for a long time. If Aiqing can manage it within three days,

If you succeed in praying for rain, it will be enough to prove that you are indeed overqualified to be the prince's consort."

I just couldn't laugh or cry, "Your Majesty, students can only look at the rain, but not beg for it."

The emperor said to himself, it is none of my business whether there is love or not. Anyway, I have already come down this step, so you can be happy for yourself.

So he glared and said, "If it doesn't rain in three days, you will either face the crime of deceiving the emperor, or you will be your consort. I will betroth my beloved tenth princess to Aiqing. I

I feel tired already, so go down and come back in three days."

I had no choice but to bow and exit the main hall. The eunuch on duty led me through a round of formalities and then returned to the hotel with a heavy heart.

As soon as I entered the door, I was shocked. There was a middle-aged scribe sitting on the kang in the room.

When the middle-aged scribe saw Jian Jian coming back, he quickly stood up and congratulated him, "Congratulations to Mr. Jian for being the top student in high school. When he is named on the gold medal list, he will definitely be famous in the mainland."

This person's information was so uncanny that I couldn't help but be on guard, "Who are you?"

The middle-aged scribe did not feel slighted at all and remained as enthusiastic as ever, "I am Lu Xiucai from the neighboring village. I grew up watching you since I was a child. You were a bargain hunter at that time. There was really no limit to what you could do. Now you are promising, and people are also

Become quieter."

I still can't remember that there was such a person in the neighboring village, "I really can't remember."

Lu Xiucai laughed and said, "As the saying goes, noble people tend to forget things, so believe it."

She was so sleepy that she yawned again and had no intention of going around in circles with him, "What do you want from me?"

Lu Xiucai remained unhurried and said, "Now that you have become successful all of a sudden, you are still unclear about official matters, so you need to ask a master to help you deal with the relationship. I am the best at this job, so I recommended myself."

He simply refused immediately, "I don't have any big ambitions. My intelligence is enough. I don't need to spend money to support a master, but I do need a servant."

Lu Xiucai was not picky, "I can do this job too."

It was almost disgusting, "But you are a bit too old."

Lu Xiucai was full of confidence, "It doesn't matter. I'm very strong and have a good eye for work. If I can't be a young boy, I'll just be an old boy."

Jian simply shook his head and said, "I was born with a big tongue, so don't I have to call you teacher every day? My teacher is the current emperor, aren't you afraid of being reported to me?"

Lu Xiucai had an idea, "If you don't want to call me Lao Si, then call me Lao Lu."

He simply sighed and said, "Well, with your surname and my tongue, you will be called an old donkey. I understand, we are just at odds. Although meeting an old friend in a foreign country is one of the beautiful things in life, but

If your tongue is not strong enough, you might as well try another branch."

Lu Xiucai finally couldn't help it anymore, "You are going around here and there, just because you don't want to get involved with me."

It was simply helpless, "I can see it, so why bother saying it. A good story has turned into an embarrassment."

Lu Xiucai gritted his teeth and said, "If I told you that I came from a god, would you believe it?"

Jian Jian smiled and said, "On the way to Beijing to take the exam, at least ten people claiming to be gods approached me, most of them asking for money. You, a god, are quite special. You wanted to be my servant, and you told me what you wanted to do.

Well."

Lu Xiucai admitted, "Actually, I want to be your teacher."

It’s almost a joke, “Are you going to teach me how to become an immortal?”

Lu Xiucai didn't hide it from him anymore, "Yes, I want to save you."

It was a bit scary to see him so serious, "I heard that people can ascend to heaven only after they die. Are you going to force me to commit suicide, or do it yourself? Let me tell you, I am not a weak scholar. I also practiced kung fu when I was a child."

Lu Xiucai corrected him, "Don't listen to them, they are all rumors. You have to go to the underworld when you die, and you can become an immortal by ascending."

I simply disagreed, "Why don't you listen to them and why do you have to listen to you?"

Lu Xiucai finally lost his patience, but still did not give up, "Tell me, how can you trust me?"

He simply rolled his eyes and said, "The emperor has given me a task. If you can bring rain within three days, you don't need to be a consort. If you are really a god, help me do this, and then I can accept you as my old man. Otherwise."

Once you become the consort, you can only be the princess's servant."

Lu Xiucai bargained, "If I help you do it, you can't call me old man, but teacher."

He simply curled his lips and said, "Do you really dare to compete with the emperor for a disciple?"

Lu Xiucai said proudly, "The emperor is just a fart in my eyes. He can let it go if he wants to. If he doesn't want to let it go, he has to hold it in for me."

I was simply frightened, "You are too fierce and you don't know what to say. Sooner or later, my whole family will be implicated and prosecuted by the emperor. If you don't want to send me away, I'd better pray for rain myself."

Lu Xiucai became furious, "After all these years, I have met someone with immortality like you. How can I just let it go? Are you only afraid of the emperor, not the gods?"

To tell the truth, "I'm afraid, but you haven't proven that you are a god yet. Now I'm just afraid of your mouth. Don't bring disaster to me, old donkey."

Lu Xiucai was so angry that he asked, "What if I really are a god? Aren't you afraid of being punished?"

She simply rolled her eyes at him, "If you were a true god, you wouldn't want to buy, sell, or bully others. Otherwise, why would you not be able to transform into a single person?"

Lu Xiucai was a little embarrassed when he was told, "That's because they don't have enough blessings to be immortal, and their fortune is not good."

I couldn't help but enlighten him, "I suggest you that if you encounter difficulties in the future, you must first find the reasons within yourself, so that you can seize the initiative to solve the problem. If you are always used to blaming the responsibility for failure on others or external factors,

If you are unable to change, doesn't it mean you have given up, so it is difficult to make progress. Even if I give you more time, it will be in vain."

When Lu Xiucai heard this, he felt like he was enlightened and had a sudden enlightenment. He saluted and thanked Jian Jian, "I have learned a lot. If I can help you pray for rain successfully, please accept me as your disciple and allow me to follow you and listen to your teachings."

He was simply not polite, "It would save a lot of trouble if we really accepted a godly disciple. I agree to your request, let's start work and pray for rain."

Lu Xiucai lowered his voice, "Please lend me some money first. I need to buy some tricks."

I just couldn't understand it, "Are all gods as poor as you? Then it's okay not to do it."

Lu Xiucai had tolerated him for so long, and now he couldn't bear it any longer and got very angry.

He secretly chanted the incantation and then stretched out his finger to turn the only iron washbasin in the house into a gold vessel.

The basin shelf was not strong enough to support the weight of the goldware, so it fell apart with a crash. The gold washbasin fell to the ground with a bang.

I was just worried, "Are you going to exchange the washbasin for money?"

Lu Xiucai reviewed himself and said, "It's too sloppy."
