Chapter 762: The succumbed to the imperial examination
The next day, Qin Liuxi, his two apprentices and Qin Mingchun met up with his classmate at the gate of the city, and then went to the classmate's mansion together.
However, after seeing the person, Qin Liuxi and the others were a little stunned and looked at Qin Mingchun: "Is this the classmate you said you were friends with?"
Qin Mingchun introduced with a smile: "That's right, he is my classmate, eldest sister, Brother Zhong, he has already achieved the honor of being a child."
Qin Liuxi: "..."
No, a child of several decades, dare I ask you where the courage to be proud of him comes from?
She originally thought that his classmate was about the same age as him, even if he was older than him, he was still in his teens, but she never expected that he was so much older, nearly fifty years old.
, both temples are a little white.
Old classmates who are nearly fifty years old, named Zhong Jinshi, Qin Liuxi, and the others are a bit hard to explain.
"Well, your mansion has high hopes for you." Qin Liuxi chuckled.
He was even given the name Jinshi, and his status as a child meant that he was still working hard in school but did not drop out of school. His spirit was really commendable.
Qin Liuxi suddenly thought that some candidates were just children since ancient times.
The one in front of me is not far away but not far away!
At this age, he can be considered a grandfather in their field.
Zhong Jinshi laughed a few times and said: "My family has a long-term fortune, and I really attach great importance to gaining fame. I don't have to worry about food and clothing, so I continue to study. My cousin is Zhong Yiyang. I am a classmate with my brother Qin, so we can also be called
We feel like old friends at first sight."
He looked at Qin Mingchun with loving eyes.
Qin Liuxi and others trembled. The look in their eyes was really unbearable.
She never expected that Zhihe Academy would have such a master of the imperial examination!
"There are no boundaries in learning, let alone age. Brother Zhong, you don't have to be shy." Qin Mingchun said, pretending to be mature.
Qin Liuxi closed his eyes, Xiaowu, you are more attractive with your silly and cute look, pretending to be mature, sister, my hands are itchy.
In order to avoid domestic violence against her own brother, Qin Liuxi looked at Zhong Jinshi's face, which was round, fleshy, and rich. She took a special look at his official palace. Well, she couldn't see the official position in the middle.
In other words, classmate Zhong Jinshi cannot become a Jinshi.
Looking closely at his heavenly palace, I heard a sigh.
This Jinshi classmate is losing his vitality, there are dark clouds in the sky, and he must have been having bad luck recently.
Qin Mingchun saw that Qin Liuxi's face was a little solemn, so he asked: "Sister, what's wrong with you staring at Brother Zhong?"
Qin Liuxi raised his head and looked at the sky. It would take half a day to get to Zhong Jinshi's home, and said, "Let's talk on the way."
Zhong Jinshi immediately asked them to get on the carriage.
Qin Liuxi and others had long noticed that a very gorgeous carriage belonged to Zhong Jinshi, and they couldn't help but speculate a little more about his family's financial resources.
While driving, Qin Liuxi initially learned the details of Zhong Jinshi.
He is from the south. His hometown is in the coastal area of the south. His ancestors made a living by fishing and doing some reselling business. Later he moved to Ningzhou Prefecture and settled in Wanhu County in Licheng. After several generations, he became a small rich man.
That's it.
The real rise of the Zhong family was due to his father's leadership. Especially after his father turned fifty, everything went smoothly, and he was sure to make a profit in any business. Therefore, the Zhong family, if nothing else, was the only one.
Ningzhou Prefecture has hundreds of hectares of fertile land, and is involved in other businesses, restaurants, cloth and silk, rice shops, tea, etc.
When Qin Liuxi heard this, he realized that the rich man was Zu Meng.
"The Zhong family is rich, but what they lack is nobility, so after I passed the Tongsheng test, I was still studying, but I didn't expect that it would take decades for me to take the test." Zhong Jinshi smiled bitterly and said: "I watched each of my classmates either fail the test or not.
After studying, or passing the exam all the way, it’s just me, standing still.”
"What if I still fail the exam?"
Zhong Jinshi replied: "If you don't pass the exam, just continue studying. Families like ours don't have to worry about livelihood. The business is taken care of by the brothers. If you don't study, you can't do anything, right?"
Qin Liuxi: If your words are heard by thousands of students from poor families, I'm afraid they will be beaten up.
Qin Mingchun said from the side: "Brother Zhong, please tell my eldest sister what strange things happened at home?"
"Oh, right, right." Zhong Jinshi said: "Actually, it's nothing. It's just the men in our clan who have been strong in the past ten years. Their bodies have become weak and weak for some reason. They have seen many doctors and have diagnosed
If I don’t come up with a reason, I can just prescribe some decoctions to strengthen the body and take them, but it still doesn’t work. In the past two months, two or three clan members have left one after another, all in their twenties and thirties.”
"You have had a lot of bad luck recently, right?" Qin Liuxi asked.
Zhong Jinshi was surprised: "How do you know?"
Qin Mingchun said proudly: "Brother Zhong, my eldest sister is the young master of Qingping Temple, she is very powerful."
Zhong Jinshi is wondering if I heard you say that he is the master of Qingpingguan. I don’t want to accompany you all this time. All of them are children who can be my grandchildren, but they are said to be the most powerful masters. I feel so embarrassed.
My little friend, you are so embarrassed!
However, the reputation of Qingping Temple has been very high in the past two years. Especially this year, a Climbing Tower was built, which contains many books. Even many students from the academy go there together during their holidays. After all, the collection of books there not only can
Borrowing is free, and there are many categories. You can even borrow pen, ink, and paper to copy books for a penny.
"You're right, I've been suffering from bad luck lately. I can fall down even if I walk well, and I can get knocked out of a tooth if I get into a fight. Look, this gold tooth is what I had two days ago.
It was just put back in place." Zhong Jinshi opened his mouth, revealing a shining gold tooth.
Qin Liuxi twitched the corner of his mouth and asked him to stretch out his wrist to hold his pulse. Zhong Jinshi was a little stunned, "Aren't you a Taoist priest?"
"My eldest sister is also proficient in the five arts of Xuanmen and the art of medicine." Qin Mingchun puffed out his little chest and said proudly again.
Qin Liuxi checked his pulse carefully and found that his muscles and bones were actually in good condition. He just had some spleen and qi deficiency, as well as some kidney yang deficiency. A few adjustments would be enough.
"Does Mr. Zhong Shan pay much attention to health care?" Qin Liuxi asked.
"Yes, I don't have to worry about making a living. If I have a surplus of food, I will naturally be more careful about my food. There is also bird's nest and cordyceps in the car. I can't finish it. You can take some away later." Zhong Jinshi patted the cage in the car.
Is this another way to show off your wealth?
Qin Liuxi said: "Your body and bones are not bad. You can heal yourself by taking a few decoctions. But I see that your heaven is black..."
Zhong Jinshi glanced at Wang Nian's little friend secretly, "The Taoist priests in the world are one family, and you, the eldest sister, are also one of them. What he said was the same as that of a magic stick. The next step is to say that I will suffer a bloody disaster, right?"
"Your vitality is draining. If you can't see it on the surface or in your veins, it can only be the result of a spell." Qin Liuxi said: "Perhaps your brothers in the family are like you, and they are weak because of a spell.
He was powerless and died suddenly. As for the truth, we have to look at it and find out again."
