A Complete Explanation of the Negative Textbooks of the Imperial Examination - Chapter 25

    Rong Ke looked at Xiao Jingduo with a smile, obviously still the same expression, but the momentum of the whole body changed drastically, the whole person suddenly changed from a harmless little girl to the daughter of the prince and the princess of the dynasty.

    “How about we make a deal? I’ll solve the trouble your stepmother caused for you, and keep you safe and sound for the past three years.”

    Xiao Jingduo looked at her silently, his eyebrows moved slightly: “How many poisonous bees do you want?”

    “Yes.” Rong Ke nodded generously, “I want that dress of yours too.”

    Xiao Jingduo was embarrassed for a moment, but soon he told himself, forget it, she is still young and does not understand the defense of men and women.

    Rong Ke offered very generous conditions, Xiao Jingduo just hesitated for a moment before agreeing. He went back to the house to get Wu Junru’s poisonous bee, and brought out the filial piety dipped in honey by the way. As for what Rong Ke wanted to do with this invisible poisonous bee, it was not Xiao Jingduo’s concern.

    “She?” Xiao Jingduo was rummaging through boxes, and when he heard Qiu Ju’s words, he frowned, “What is she here for?”

      The voice whispered, “Lang Jun, I also heard that the Biao girl went to intercede with the Hou Ye, and asked you to stay in the Hou mansion to observe filial piety and not be sent to the temple. Lang Jun, look how good this is. Opportunity, do you want to take the opportunity to walk with the watch girl for a while?”

    “Anything to be courteous, or a traitor to steal. If she really turned to me, she wouldn’t have ignored me a few days ago. What do you want to do, but it will never be a good thing, ignore her.” Cheng Huizhen’s troubles didn’t enter Xiao Jingduo’s mind at all, he pulled out the filial clothes and the jar, got up and walked out.

    “Hey, Da Langjun, you just came back, where are you going?”

      She is so small, but standing in front of the tall and powerful guard, she doesn’t look weird at all, but she is natural, as if she was born to be followed. The afterglow of the setting sun poured down from behind Rong Ke calmly, coating her whole body with a layer of golden light, making her more and more like her sandalwood hair and snow skin, like a jade person.

    Seeing Xiao Jingduo coming back, Rong Ke was not in a hurry, just stood there and smiled softly: “Have you got the thing?”

      , just took Rong Ke’s order, and didn’t show up in the dark. Presumably when Rong Ke was frightened, these people were already chasing after him, but Xiao Jingduo was one step ahead. Even without him today, Rong Ke would not have any problems.

    Xiao Jingduo also gathered his mind and walked towards Rong Ke vigilantly. Now standing in front of him is not the little girl who just listened to his complaints, but the princess of Xuan Dynasty, or the two people are one.

    Xiao Jingduo reached out and handed the jar containing the bees. A person with the appearance of a long guard took it, and after checking it was correct, he presented it to Rong Ke with both hands.

    Rong Ke took the jar, played it for a while and put it to her ear to listen. Not knowing what to hear, Rong Ke raised his eyebrows in surprise, and a pair of Jingyao eyes looked straight at Xiao Jingduo: “Two?”

    “Yes, there is also a nurse who stung her stepmother and died on the spot, do you want?”

    Rong Ke smiled strangely: “Okay.”

    Speaking, she handed the thing to the guard, and then said, “Just wait at ease these few days, I will solve the matter of your stepmother for you.”

    Xiao Jingduo’s mind flashed: “You think I will only give you one?”

    Rong Ke just smiled, neither said yes nor no. She took five guards and maybe a few secret guards, and soon turned the corner and disappeared at the end of the long street.

      Animals can be a life-saving trump card, who will hand them over all at once?

    What’s more, maybe Rong Ke is ready to go back and raise the price temporarily.

    Xiao Jingduo felt incredible, how did she grow up? It’s too much thought…

    The sky was getting dark, and Xiao Jingduo slowly walked back to Qingze Courtyard. Qiu Ju waited anxiously at the gate of the courtyard, and when she saw Xiao Jingduo, she hurriedly chased after him: “Lang Jun, something is bad, Mrs. Hou will send you to a side temple!”

    “Yes.” Xiao Jingduo nodded, “I know.”

    “Lang Jun, why are you still in a hurry!” Qiu Ju herself was anxious, “If you go to such a place, you shouldn’t be called earthly and earthly, even normal people have to go to that kind of place. I’ve been driven crazy. Lang Jun, think of a way!”

      Go to the study, don’t disturb me if it’s all right.”

     Qiuju was left alone in a hurry.

    The next day, the main courtyard sent someone to say that Mrs. Hou Ye was invited.

    Xiao Jingduo came to the main courtyard of the Hou Mansion with the servant, Wu Junru stood at the door and looked at him arrogantly.

    When he passed by, Xiao Jingduo heard Wu Junru whisper in his ear: “Look, you can’t beat me after all.”

    Xiao Jingduo thought this was so funny, he didn’t bother to pay attention to Wu Junru, but walked directly to the study.

    Xiao Ying was sitting in the master seat of the study, when he saw Xiao Jingduo, he nodded lightly.

    “You also heard that day, the master said that your suffocation is too strong, which is not good for the family. As the father is the head of the family, you have to consider the whole Houfu, just as you also have to be filial to your mother, why don’t you just Move to the temple. Take advantage of the three years to sharpen your arrogant temperament, and after three years have passed, I will take you back.”

    “What temple?”

    “In a family temple in Dafeng Township, the host there is related to the Wu family. Wherever you go, the host can also take care of Gu Yier.”

    Dafeng Township? It is surrounded by mountains on all sides and the property is barren. Where did it go, and how is it different from exile? And more importantly, Xiao Jingduo spent three years in that kind of backcountry, and when he came back three years later, his knowledge and martial arts were greatly delayed.

    Wu Junru’s move was really cruel.

    Wu Junru saw that Xiao Jingduo did not speak, she was proud of her heart, and wanted to stimulate him again: “Don’t worry, Dalangjun, although Dafeng Township is remote, but the environment is quiet and isolated from the world, it is suitable for meditating and filial piety… “

    Before Wu Junru finished her words, there was a sound of footsteps outside the house, and one of the servants ran to the study panting, without even having time to tidy up his clothes, he hurriedly said: “Marquis, His Royal Highness will send someone coming!”

    Even with doubts in her heart, Xiao Ying did not dare to be sloppy, he immediately stood up and said loudly: “Please!”

    The courtiers of the East Palace stood in the yard and did not enter the house. After a few words with Xiao Ying, they went straight to the topic: “Marquis of Dingyong, Madam Hou, I don’t know if the great man in your house can exist?”

    Wu Junru’s face stiffened: “Ask him what to do?”

    “Yes.” The waiter also bowed back and said with a smile, “I heard that Lord Lang saved the county lord yesterday. The crown prince sighed deeply when his biological mother died of illness. Not long ago, the crown prince also experienced the pain of losing his mother. He has always regretted that he could not be filial to Queen Zhaode. After hearing what happened to Lang Jun, His Royal Highness felt the same way, so he specially ordered Lang Jun to Qingyuan Temple. Observing filial piety for the mother is also considered to be the filial piety of His Royal Highness to the first queen.”

    “He saved the county master? His Royal Highness actually allowed him to go to Qingyuan Temple to observe filial piety?” The words of the waiter in the East Palace were too informative, Wu Junru didn’t know what to pay attention to, when did Xiao Jingduo and the East Palace meet The county owner is involved, and she heard right, Xiao Jingduo is going to Qingyuan Temple?

    Xiao Ying was equally shocked, but he has been an official for many years and is far more knowledgeable than Wu Junru. He quickly calmed down and was close to the prince: “It is a blessing for the Xiao family to be able to serve the prince. , I just don’t know how the Yangxin County Master was frightened yesterday, is he okay now?”

      It’s hard, not to mention that Lang Jun has been on this trip for three years, and he has to take care of the few things outside himself. The prince and the county master do not know what Lang Jun likes, so they can only prepare some small gifts and see him off. “

      When the courtier saw that the words had been brought, he said goodbye, Xiao Ying personally escorted the courtier out, and kept asking about the prince on the way. However, the courtier just smiled and didn’t say much. Xiao Yingfu was very heartfelt and immediately turned to greet the Princess Yangxin. Only then did the courtier show a smile, and he was willing to say a few words to Xiao Ying.

    After Xiao Ying and the people from the East Palace gradually walked away, the study suddenly fell silent. Wu Junru looked at the East Palace, where half of the courtyard had been placed, and then turned to look at Xiao Jingduo, she was so angry that she was speechless.

    The morning mist just dissipated, and the sun was shining on the ground, brightening the whole yard. Standing in such beautiful sunlight, Xiao Jingduo smiled and looked at Wu Junru: “Mrs. Hou said just now that I can’t beat you after all. Now it seems that Madam’s words are too early.”

    Wu Junru pursed her lips tightly, the flesh on her face tensed tightly because of anger and shock.

    The same is to go to the temple to observe filial piety, but to Dafeng Township and Qingyuan Temple, the concept is completely different.

    Dafeng Township is desolate and uninhabited, whoever goes there is a waste of time and will. But Qingyuan Temple is different. Qingyuan Temple is a royal monastery. There are countless eminent monks and masters, and the world-renowned Master Mingjue sits in the seat. Many sons of noble families and literati like to go there to study and discuss Taoism. Countless people crowded their heads and wanted to go in and visit one or two places. All the people who have lived in Qingyuan Temple have gone to the next level before they come out, which can be said to benefit for life. Therefore, the rooms in Qingyuan Temple are very scarce, and many people with connections can’t find vacancies, let alone ordinary children of officials. Wu Junru once heard that an uncle of the Wu family once borrowed the light of the Cui clan of Qinghe to live in Qingyuan Temple for half a month. He still brags about this matter until now. Now, Xiao Jingduo has received the prince’s edict and can live in Qingyuan Temple. Live for three years?

    Wu Junru felt annoyed when she thought about it. She had planned so hard for so long and spent countless money and connections. Seeing that Xiao Jingduo was about to be sent away, at the last moment, she suddenly killed the prince’s edict and let Wu Junru fell short. Wu Junru couldn’t understand why Xiao Jingduo was so lucky not only to have a relationship with the prince, but even to let the prince give him such a big face?

    Contrary to Wu Junru, Xiao Jingduo is in a very relaxed mood now. The black cloud that had been pressing on his heart these days finally dissipated, Xiao Jingduo breathed a sigh of relief, his mother was dead, if he hadn’t been able to set up another door now, he would have long ago wanted to stay in the Dingyonghou Mansion. Now that he can take the opportunity to live outside, and it is still a well-known Qingyuan Temple, Xiao Jingduo can’t ask for it.

    So with a smile on his face, he unceremoniously greeted his servants to lift the gift from the East Palace, and in front of Wu Junru, he just returned to Qingze Courtyard with a high profile and beating gongs and drums.

    He was finally able to get out of this dark house, Xiao Jingduo deeply sighed, Xiao Ying and Wu Junru, who brought him countless sufferings, will finally be left behind by him. A new life is slowly unfolding for him.

    Xiao Jingduo won the Prince’s Award, and the news that he was going to Qingyuan Temple to observe filial piety suddenly spread.

    During dinner, the old lady also mentioned this matter: “It’s a good thing to go to the royal temple, it’s quiet there, just to nurture your temper. I heard Xue Lan say that there are all learned monks there, I don’t know if I can Bring one more person there?”

    Don’t think about it, the old lady definitely wants him to take Xiao Jinghu there.

    Xiao Jingduo was too lazy to pay attention to it, Xue Lan saw Xiao Jingduo’s resolute attitude, so she could only come out to make peace. “Old lady, let’s not forget it! Qingyuan Temple is on Zhongnan Mountain. It takes two days to come and go. If Erlang-Jun also goes, you won’t be able to see Erlang-Jun often.”

    “That’s true.” Mrs. Xiao immediately retreated, she was originally moved by what Second Aunt Xiao said, but now the idea of ​​not letting go of her grandson once again prevailed, “That’s okay, Let Dole go alone.”

    Second Aunt Xiao was also not willing to give up her son, so now after the old lady gave up her thoughts, she agreed without much trouble. Second Aunt Xiao said a little sourly: “I heard that Dalang-Jun has received a lot of thank you gifts, but those are things from the palace. You can’t use them all by yourself, why don’t you take them out so that we can also see?”

    Qiu Ju, who followed Xiao Jingduo to the Gao Shoutang, opened her mouth in surprise. She looked at Second Aunt Xiao in disbelief, and her anger couldn’t stop rising. Xiao Jingduo waved his hand gently, motioning Qiu Ju not to act rashly, and then said to Second Aunt Xiao, “His Excellency does not dare to resign. If Second Aunt wants, go and tell His Royal Highness the Prince.”

    Second Aunt Xiao’s face was flushed by Xiao Jingduo’s run, and even the old lady said displeasedly: “How can you talk about this child! Your second aunt won’t steal your things, you are so stingy What do you do? The palace gives you good things, and Hu’er is growing up, I wonder if there is anything Hu’er can use on the gift list…”

    Xiao Jingduo didn’t speak, the old lady saw that he didn’t answer, and asked angrily, “You really refuse to give it?”

    “No.”

    “You…” The old lady was very angry, if it wasn’t for her being the old Fengjun of the Hou’s residence, and she couldn’t beat and scold like in a farmhouse, she would have scolded her long ago. But now Xiao Jingduo is different from the past. He will soon go to Qingyuan Temple, and he still obeys the prince’s will. No matter how tyrannical Mrs. Xiao is, she will not dare to refute the prince’s face, so as long as Xiao Jingduo is unwilling, they really can’t do anything about him. The old lady slowed down and managed to catch her breath, and then she snorted coldly: “Since you are reluctant to give up those things, we will not hesitate to ask for them. But the prince is also true, didn’t he just help the county master? It would be great to leave this to my son for so many things!”

    Xue Lan added with a smile: “Old lady, you don’t know, this Yangxin county master is very famous in our Chang’an, not to mention the prince, even the sage will answer her requests. Listen. It is said that the saint does not even hold his son, but the county master is on his lap all day long, and even the county master’s writing is taught by the saint. Yangxin’s county lord is spoiled. When he was in the war, he brought the county lord to the military tent to discuss matters. Now the saints and the ministers discuss national policies, and she plays by the side. Several prime ministers have said that they saw Yangxin. He is more diligent than seeing his grandchildren.”

    “A daughter’s family will always get married in the future. How will she serve her husband’s family in the future?” The old lady shook her head.

    “I heard that the county owner was early-witted, and she has been very clever since childhood. That’s why saints and princes value her so much.”

      ‘s vicious circle. As a result, she never understood the use of nurturing women.

    Xiao Jingduo could not understand why grandmother and second aunt Xiao had such a big prejudice against women, and they were also daughters, why they still held such great malice towards girls. From the bottom of his heart, he felt that Rong Ke was so good. He could do whatever he wanted, and he could learn whatever he wanted. He said that girls should be pampered. In Xiao Jingduo’s view, this is how parents and families pamper their children.

    However, Xiao Jingduo finally understands why Rong Ke’s heart is like a sieve. She has been in contact with people from the class of emperors, princes and famous generals since she was a child. The prime ministers of the world come to judge, her heart is not very good.

    But then Xiao Jingduo remembered the dark needle on Rong Ke’s mount, and he quickly dispelled the envy in his heart. No one’s life has only scenery without risks, everyone has their own luck, and there is really no need to compare.

      There is such a great charm. The day of departure is imminent, Xiao Jingduo has been packing his bags in Qingze Court these days, avoiding the crowd and never going out. However, even so, he could not be quiet.

    As soon as a group of people was sent away, Qiu Ju just took a breath, and the door of Qing Zeyuan was knocked again.

    Qiu Ju sighed and went to open the door resignedly.

    Cheng Huizhen stood outside the door and glanced inside curiously: “I’m here to find my eldest cousin, where is my cousin?”

    “Da Langjun is in the wing.”

    Cheng Hui really got the news, and she didn’t even bother to reply, so she walked in directly past Qiu Ju: “Cousin, I’m here to talk to you!”

    Xiao Jingduo rested her forehead in the room, how did Qiu Ju, an idiot, put her in?

    Cheng Huizhen was oblivious to Xiao Jingduo’s words, as if she did not notice Xiao Jingduo’s indifference. Is it that easy?

     “Big cousin, you are definitely not good at packing, how about I pack your luggage for you?”

    “No.”

    Cheng Huizhen said a lot more, but Xiao Jingduo’s attitude has always been to reject people thousands of miles away, and finally Cheng Huizhen said sadly: “Cousin, are you still blaming me? Ri really wants to intercede for you, but my uncle insists, I really can’t persuade him. And although the temple is very hard, staying in Qingyuan Temple will benefit you without any harm, you must understand!”

    Xiao Jingduo looked at her strangely: “I know.” This result was what he had painstakingly asked for, could it be that Cheng Hui really thought he couldn’t understand it?

    Cheng Huizhen was a little discouraged, Xiao Jingduo’s life was exactly the same as in the previous life, and he also went to Qingyuan Temple in the previous life, so Cheng Huizhen was not surprised by this, she was just a little sad, she couldn’t see Xiao Jingduo often in the past three years, There is still a long way to go to cultivate feelings.

     “Cousin, I will miss you after you leave, I will write to you from time to time, don’t forget me!”

    Xiao Jingduo’s brows moved, and the depths of his eyes were already filled with inquiry.

    If the cousin had been warm and kind to him from the beginning, he would not have thought about it too much, but Cheng Huizhen’s attitude changed suddenly, and these changes even happened before the prince came. This is very alarming. What did Cheng Huizhen know to make such a behavior?

    So the more enthusiastic Cheng Huizhen was towards him, the more vigilant Xiao Jingduo felt. Cheng Huizhen thought that she had gradually advanced her relationship with Xiao Jingduo, but she didn’t know that such a move would only backfire.

    Only sincerity can impress people, after all, no one is more stupid than anyone else, and sincerity can still be felt.

    After finally sending Cheng Huizhen away, Xiao Jingduo breathed a long sigh of relief.

    When Qiu Ju ran in, she found that Dalangjun looked at her not very friendly.

    Qiu Ju is very confused, what happened? Who made Dalangjun angry?

    Qiu Ju thought about it for a while and couldn’t figure it out, so she immediately put it aside, she said excitedly: “Lang Jun, the second and third rooms have sent a lot of practice gifts, and several ladies have also given them. Do you want to see something?”

      What’s more, the royal family didn’t call for nothing, and the shots were very generous. The things sent by the East Palace were enough for him to easily spend these three years.

    Xiao Jingduo privately felt that the prince was willing to put him in Qingyuan Temple, and he also thoughtfully sent property in the name of thanksgiving, which Rong Ke contributed. Therefore, he can’t play with someone who has a lot of heart like Rong Ke. If he really deducted a poisonous bee by himself at that time, or negotiated conditions with Rong Ke based on this, then the current situation may be completely different.

    Qiu Ju followed Xiao Jingduo and helped him pack up. In the end, Qiu Ju couldn’t help sighing: “Lang Jun, you are so smart, why do you have to live so hard? Although Qingyuan Temple is a royal temple, there is no one to serve you there. what!”

    Xiao Jingduo smiled and was praised by Qiu Ju for being smart, he didn’t know whether he should be happy or sad.

    Qiu Ju did not understand why Xiao Jingduo laughed inexplicably, she was still immersed in the emotion of sending off and couldn’t extricate herself. Qiu Ju originally thought that it would be too hard for the good-looking Langjun to be sent to the temple, but this was ordered by the prince, and Qiu Ju felt that it should be a good thing. In the end, she didn’t know whether Xiao Jingduo’s trip was good or bad.

    Finally, Qiu Ju let out a long sigh, squeezed out a smile and said: “It’s better to go outside, it will save Lang Jun’s troubles with these messy things at home. Even if the lady knows, she will be happy. .”

    Hearing this, Xiao Jingduo, who was eager to leave, also fell down. After a long time, he said: “I’ve been away for the past three years, so I can’t take care of you. You have to be careful yourself. Don’t get ahead in everything, and try to leave Qing Zeyuan as little as possible. Your brain can’t play with other people.”

    “Oh.” Qiu Ju nodded, looking at Xiao Jingduo with bright eyes, “Lang Jun, I know you have big ambitions, and when you come back, you will be completely different. It’s great, my wife and I are waiting for this day!”

    Qiu Ju thought a little sour in her heart, if Zhao Xiulan knew about it, she should be at ease.

    Qingyuan Temple is located on Zhongnan Mountain, built on the mountain, with overlapping courtyards, dense bamboo trees, and profound Zen. When Xiao Jingduo arrived, the bells of Qingyuan Temple were echoing in the mountains. The fresh and clean air in the mountains was mixed with the curling fragrance, which immediately calmed Xiao Jingduo’s heart.

    People from Dingyong Hou’s mansion followed Xiao Jingduo to visit the host of Qingyuan Temple. A little novice said that the host was giving a morning class.

    The novice took Xiao Jingduo out of the guest room, folded his hands in a salute, and retired first. The servants of Hou Mansion helped to move things, they were not good to stay here for a long time. After unloading things, these people said goodbye to Xiao Jingduo.

    After everyone left, Xiao Jingduo had time to check where he was going to live for the past three years. This guest room is not large, and the decoration is simple. There are no other utensils except for the collapse of the bed and the table. Instead, Xiao Jingduo’s own things are scattered all over the floor. Standing in the deserted meditation room, he could hear the rustling sound of the wind blowing through the bamboo leaves.

    In the next three years, he will live here.

    Xiao Jingduo cheered up and planned to fetch water outside the house, and then tidy up the house. When he came back, before he could approach the residence, he heard two novices talking outside the corner.

    “The person instructed by the prince lives in that guest room?”

    “Yes.”

    “Master Mingjue said that he killed too much. Why does the host and master allow him to live in such a person?”
