"Since I was six years old, I studied <Words of the Sages> with Master, and then continued to study <Book of Documents>, <Book of Odes>, and <" Book of Rites>, <Zuo Zhuan>, <Four Books and Five Classics>. Twelve years have passed, and I have taken the Imperial Examination exam for six years and failed many times. Now I am tired of the dancing 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 the two adults Xie Qi and Lu Yun?"
These two people were named Great Qing. One was ninety-eight years old, and despite the dissuasion of his family, he resolutely participated in Provincial Examination and became famous in one fell swoop. The other was a hundred and three years old. Since then, he has participated in the imperial examination. Three emperors have replaced him on the throne, and he has failed many times, which shows his great perseverance.
The implication is, you are only eighteen years old, what's so tiring about you!
Everyone was shocked. Second Brother contradicted the eldest boss in the house. Not only did the boss not get angry, but he even tried to persuade him. It was really strange.
"Then why did you donate an official position?"
Killer!
There are not many things that can make Master He break through in his life, and Purchased Official Position is definitely one of them. He felt that he was very good at reading when he was young, and after participating in Imperial Examination, he will definitely become the top pick.
As a result, starting from the age of fourteen, I took the exam ten times in a row, but never got on the list. At that time, He Lei was already six years old, and he followed the Master to learn <Thousand Character Classic>.
During the first Imperial Examination, there was a twelve-year-old boy who failed to get 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 county magistrate.
So, in a rage, the old man tore up all the books and cursed the examiner for being blind. He then spent six thousand taels of silver and bought a City Gate Official position, which set the He family on the road to becoming Three Tyrants of Jin City.
"You"
"Ten misses!"
"I"
"Number one among the top two!"
"Him"
"Six thousand taels of silver."
"How do you like it!"
Master He was beaten 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 looked at everyone stopping their chopsticks, couldn't help but smile, and stood up to say hello.
"You're welcome, it's time to eat."
"."
Good guy, are you ready to "usurp the throne"?
My mother-in-law and son-in-law didn't say anything. What do you mean by yelling at the dinner table?
It's just because someone behaved differently than usual, my mother, aunt, siblings, etc. all reluctantly smiled, as if I had eaten enough.
"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 dumbfounded.
Second Brother in the house, when did it 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 and eat with me."
"Yes, Second Young Master."
The man surnamed He wiped his mouth with silk, stood up and led the boy away from the huge mansion, leaving behind his confused family members 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 criticized by Second Brother that he couldn't even come off stage."
Eldest Brother He Lei and 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.
He Wangzu Every time he gets angry, he will definitely read in his room in order to calm down.
On the other side, He Zhao left the house in a carriage and went to Jin City's bustling streets 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, Er Gouzi, and come with me for a walk."
"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.
Not only snacks are sold on the street, but there are shops on both sides of the street 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 shop was Xilin Bookstore, which had all kinds of ancient books, magic numbers, art, genealogy, miscellaneous books, and other books.
If they don't have the book at home, Jin City doesn't have it either.
"Second Master, are you here?"
The clerk from the bookstore immediately came to greet him. After all, the He family, Second Young Master, was a very important customer.
Old Master He fully supports my 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.
With three thousand taels of silver, you can at least buy an official like Subordinate 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 fell in love with this book instantly. He intuitively told himself that the value of this book was much higher than the entire bookstore combined.
"Huh?"
He frowned, why wait, <Discerning Eye>!
Originating from the ability of Ancient God, the dog zodiac, they are well-informed and know what things are valuable and what things are worthless, it is not just a matter of glance.
It's a pity that he inherited Alaya-vijnana's vision and did not obtain its terrifying knowledge base.
"Fifth row, counting from the left, twelve."
The guy brought the ladder next to him, climbed up Proficient, 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 will only be 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, it takes Bargaining a long time. The price is too high and it is insulting to the gentlemen. They don't even think about what they can read if they don't have money."
Oh, two taels of silver is enough for people in the Lower Nine Streams industry to work hard for a month.
You also said that they are poor scholars. Due to their 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 - <□□>.
"Huh? It can't be Pingmei!!"
