"Starting from the age of six, I followed the Master to study "The Words of the Sage", and then continued to study "The Book of Books", "The Book of Songs", "The Book of Rites", "Zuo Zhuan", and "The Four Books and Five Classics". Twelve years later, the test
I took the college examination for six years and failed many times. Now I am tired of dancing like an elephant."
Did you hear that? I’m tired!
Regarding He Zhao's words, the old man pondered for a moment and said.
"Don't you hear that Sirs Xie Qi and Lu Yun are here?"
These two people are famous in Daqing. One was ninety-eight years old. Regardless of the dissuasion of his family, he took the provincial examination and became famous in one fell swoop. The other was a full 103 years old. From then on, he began to participate in the imperial examination and was promoted to the imperial examination.
The three emperors failed many times, which shows their great perseverance.
The implication is, you are only eighteen years old, why are you so tired?
Everyone was shocked. It was a strange news that the second child contradicted the eldest boss in the house, but the boss not only didn't get angry, but also offered good words to persuade him.
"Then why did you donate an official position?"
Killer!
There were not many things in Mr. He's life that could break his defenses, and donating an official position was definitely one of them. When he was young, he felt that he was very good at reading, and he would definitely become the top scholar after taking the college examination.
As a result, starting from the age of fourteen, he took the exam ten times in a row, but never got on the list. At that time, He Lei was six years old, and he started to study "Thousand Words" with the Master.
During the first academy examination, there was a twelve-year-old boy who failed to win the title of scholar in his tenth time. He was already ranked first in the second class, and if nothing else happened, he would at least be able to get a job as a county magistrate.
So the old man tore up all the books in a rage and cursed the examiner for being blind. He then spent six thousand taels of silver to buy a job as a city gatekeeper, and the He family started to become a city gatekeeper.
The path of the Three Hegemons of Jincheng.
"you......"
"Ten misses!"
"I......"
"Number one among the top two!"
"he......"
"Six thousand taels of silver."
"How do you like it?"
Mr. He was scolded three times and walked away speechless.
A large group of people eating melons looked at each other in shock, and no one dared to say a word.
He Zhao couldn't help but smile when he saw everyone stopping their chopsticks and stood up to say hello.
"You're welcome, it's time to eat."
"..."
Good guy, are you ready to "usurp the throne"?
My dear mother, my dear son has not spoken. What do you mean by shouting at the dinner table?
It's just because someone behaved differently than usual. My mother, aunt, siblings, etc. all forced a smile and looked like I was full.
"Then I'm welcome."
After a while, everyone looked at the table, and the leftovers of more than half of the dishes were missing. They were stunned.
When did the second dick in the house become so edible?
What's even more surprising is that he eats very quickly without being rude, and he shows off his style from beginning to end.
The useless "Noble Etiquette" finally played its role.
"Er Gouzi, let's go out for a walk with me to eat."
"Yes, Second Young Master."
The man surnamed He wiped his mouth with silk, stood up and led the servant out of the huge mansion, leaving his confused family sitting in the dining room.
"Unexpectedly, the second brother, who is usually taciturn, would dare to speak out against the old man."
"More than that, my father was so reviled by his second brother that he couldn't even come off stage."
The eldest brother He Lei and the fifth brother He Han looked at someone's back and sighed repeatedly.
"I'm going to see the master. If you're not full, I'll tell the cooks to cook another table." Wang Lan, the wife, got up and led several maids to the study.
Whenever He Wangzu was angry, he would definitely read in his room to calm his mind.
On the other side, He Zhao left the house in a carriage and went to the bustling streets of Jincheng for a stroll.
The reason why I scolded you today is because I don’t want to continue studying.
In my previous life, I read it every day and every night.
Where does he have time?
You have to hurry up and make yourself stronger.
As for letting people see something is wrong.
Just kidding, why do you think I'm not who I am? There's proof. Be careful, I'll sue you for defamation.
“Rice cake!”
"Osmanthus wine!"
"Freshly baked chestnuts roasted with sugar..."
People were coming and going on the street, and vendors were shouting.
"Stop here, Ergouzi, and go for a walk with me."
"Okay."
The groom in the mansion stopped, and Er Gouzi helped the young master out of the car.
One master and one servant slowly walked into the crowd.
The street not only sells snacks, but also has shops on both sides, selling foreign goods, silks, colored glazes, antiques, everything you can think of.
As he walked, he subconsciously walked into a bookstore.
In my previous life, my favorite place to visit was Xilin Bookstore, which had all kinds of ancient books, spells, art, genealogy, miscellaneous books, and other books.
If there are books that are not available in their home, they are not available in the entire Jincheng.
"Second Master, are you here?"
The clerk from the bookstore immediately came to greet him. After all, the second young master of the He family was a very important customer.
Mr. He fully supports his son's purchase of books.
Once upon a time, there was a record of spending three thousand taels in a previous life. Three years later, no one has broken it.
Three thousand taels of silver can at least buy an official from the eighth rank.
"Are there any new books?"
"Yes, yes, yes!"
The bookstore clerk grinned, nodded and bowed, almost treating him like a biological father.
"Take me to see it."
"Okay, okay."
A group of three people came to the southeast corner.
The waiter pointed at the shelf that was as tall as two people and said proudly.
"Hey, Second Master. Look, they are all new books."
He Zhao glanced at it and instantly fell in love with a book. He intuitively told himself that the value of this book was much higher than the entire bookstore combined.
"Um?"
He frowned, why would there be...wait a minute, "The Wisdom of Eyes"!
Originating from the abilities of the ancient gods who were born in the year of dog, they are well-informed. What things are valuable and what are worthless is not just a matter of glance.
It is a pity that he inherited the vision of Ayala and did not obtain its terrifying knowledge.
"Fifth row, counting from the left, twelve."
The clerk took the ladder next to him, climbed up skillfully, and found the book.
"Hey! It's not a new book, it's an ancient book. Someone in the store must have made a mistake accidentally."
"It doesn't matter, how much is it."
As long as the price is not too outrageous, he will decide.
"Second Master, you are a regular customer. You have only been looking at the paper for fifty years. Just give me twenty taels of silver."
"Er Gouzi, pay."
The boy immediately stepped forward, took out two taels of silver and put it in the hands of the waiter.
"You are still generous, unlike those poor scholars. Every time you come to buy a book, you have to bargain for a long time. The price is too high and it is insulting to be polite. They don't even think about what they can read if they don't have money."
Oh, two taels of silver is enough for a person in Jiufang to work hard for a month.
You also said that they are poor scholars. Due to status restrictions, they cannot do business. At best, they can sit on the street and write letters to others. How much money can they earn?
It would be weird if we didn't negotiate the price.
He took the estimate from the clerk, glanced at it, and saw it said - "Gold".
