Everyone Knows I am a Good Man - Chapter 518
Ji Changze’s guards looked sturdy one by one, and since they came to him, those who used to see the cracks did not dare to make another mistake.
But the person who should be staring is still staring.
It is estimated that the people around will not withdraw until the true identity of this son of Ji is found.
Especially led by the prefect.
The prefect of Kaiyang City did indeed rely on true ability to come up.
When he was young, his family was poor and his father died prematurely. He relied on his mother to do needlework to raise up. After he went to school, he copied books for money.
Later, I was admitted to the Jinshi all the way. Sometimes it went smoothly and sometimes not smoothly. I also failed more than once. It took ten years to enter the officialdom.
With a sigh of relief in his heart, he refused to marry a wife before he passed the exam, so when he got his wife, he was already nearly thirty.
A poor student, all the way to the prefect of a prefecture, can be called passionate and inspirational.
But this originally very chicken-blooded story is no longer so enviable because the former passionate students changed their volunteers.
People will become.
At the beginning, he studied and studied in poverty and volunteered to serve the court for the benefit of the government after becoming an official. Now he is just a dog official who is accustomed to fawning on the upper and lower, dismissing the people, and trying hard to search for the people.
The only thing the dog official has not yet resolved is the future of his son.
He only got his son when he was 30 years old. Unlike his father who made his own business all the way, the prefect, who was born in wealth, didn’t know anything about studying, and he did a lot of things like grabbing people from the land and grabbing land.
Because there was a prefect father who was walking on it, he became more reckless and reckless.
The prefect didn’t take these things done by his son seriously. Although he was a little bolder, after all, what he did was just a difference between being in the dark and in the light.
Kaiyang city is far away from the imperial city, the emperor Tian Gao is far away, the whole Kaiyang city is his biggest, he doesn’t have to worry about whether his son’s unbridledness will get any big shots.
He also has a lot of eyeliner in the city.
Every time there is a suspected figure in Kaiyang City or the surrounding area, the prefect will warn his son not to cause trouble recently, so as not to cause trouble to the family.
At this point he was very satisfied with himself.
He would only bully and provoke the civilians who could not provoke their families.
To those powerful officials and eunuchs, they have always been very sensible.
Because of this, the prefect has always believed that he can donate an official to his son and he can do a good job.
He’s been paving the way for his son recently and running around.
Now there is a new face. If he really finds out that he is a child of a wealthy family, as long as he catches this line, his son’s future official career will have another layer of protection.
After the eyeliner sent to investigate came back to report, the prefect was so excited, he quickly went to his son’s room.
When he went to the room, his son Zhou Wenting was making fun of the girl. Seeing that the two were about to roll onto the couch, he was shocked when he saw his father coming, and quickly moved away the hand holding the girl.
“Father, it’s all this point, why are you here?”
The prefect gave his son angrily: “Sit down, I will tell you something.”
After Zhou Wenting sat down, he withdrew from others, and then whispered to his son:
“Although the origin of the son of Ji hasn’t been cleared yet, our people saw that his guard went to deliver a letter to King Kang, and King Kang’s Mansion picked up his letter.”
“King Kang?!”
Zhou Wenting originally had a look of dissatisfaction. Hearing this, he immediately became excited: “Kang has always been the most difficult to please. That son actually has the way of King Kang?!”
Seeing that his son finally understood the importance of this matter, the prefect touched his beard with satisfaction.
King Kang is the brother of his maternal compatriots today.
He is the eldest prince and the queen. If it weren’t because he was sick at birth, he had some problems with one leg, he was limping on foot, and the throne would not have the right to sit now.
But King Kang was not depressed because he missed the throne. On the contrary, he was not interested in court politics. Since childhood, he only liked poems, songs, and painting.
Later, His Majesty ascended the throne and named him King Kang, and the fief granted to him was also the best piece of all princes.
If you talk about who your Majesty trusts most, it must be the big emperor brother.
It’s just that King Kang doesn’t ask about political affairs, and has never participated in disputes between court officials, let alone receiving gifts and walking around.
Countless officials once ran into a wall in front of King Kang’s mansion, and naturally included the prefect.
Therefore, this son of Ji can walk the way of King Kang, which proves that his background is not small.
Zhou Wenting’s heart was excited, but also a little impatient.
“Father, since we all know that he can contact King Kang, why haven’t we figured out his identity yet, if we don’t inquire about the details, how can our son prescribe the right medicine?”
“It’s normal for such a big person to be more concealed. If you and I are found out by you and me in such an easy way, do you eat dry food when you are the guards around him?”
After all, the prefect is older, and he is more calm than his son.
“You don’t care which prince he is, as long as you make friends with him and get into his eyes, you will naturally be informed of your identity.”
“Don’t say anything else, just the relationship with King Kang is enough for our benefit.”
In the past two days, they have been on the sidelines because they haven’t found out Ji Changze’s detailed information.
Today, I learned that King Kang actually had contact with the other side, so I could act immediately.
When Ji Changze went to visit the lake the next day, he met Zhou Wenting, the prefect master who also visited the lake.
Zhou Wenting was clearly prepared, the boat was well equipped, and there were some flower girls dancing.
While visiting the lake to enjoy the scenery, his boat was so “unlucky” that it ran into Ji Changze’s.
As a result, Zhou Wenting boarded Ji Changze’s ship with the excuse of apologizing.
“I’m so sorry, Brother Ji, I have already punished the boy in charge of the ship, but fortunately I didn’t surprise Brother Ji, otherwise I would die of guilt.”
It’s also funny.
This is the first time Ji Changze has seen the prefect.
Even if the other party wanted to kill him.
However, although ironic, it is normal.
It’s as if a person is going to crush an ant and he would never go close to see what the ant looks like.
The system was very worried that Ji Changze could not help the hatred in his heart and attacked on the spot, but he did not fluctuate at all in his heart, and even smiled on his face.
“Brother Zhou doesn’t have to be like this, it’s just an accident.”
He even took the initiative to invite:
“Today’s lake view is very good. Since Brother Zhou’s boat was crashed, why don’t we continue to enjoy the scenery on my boat?”
Zhou Wenting did not expect things to go so smoothly.
He couldn’t help but feel complacent.
A character who is not in favor of others, as soon as he goes out in person, the other party actually takes the initiative to invite him.
Of course, Zhou Wenting readily accepted such a good opportunity.
Before he came, he inquired that Ji Changze seemed to like to paint. He had asked the inn to send fine rice paper pen and ink many times.
Most people who like to paint are indifferent to fame and fortune.
So Zhou Wenting’s line was a gentleman’s friend.
Deliberately pretending to inadvertently lead the topic to Dan Qing, and sure enough, Ji Changze, who was originally just a faint expression, was attracted.
“Brother Zhou also likes to paint?”
“No, no, I can’t. It’s my father. My father has always liked Danqing. Since I was a child, I have been fascinated by this, but I know a little bit.”
From the perspective of later generations, Zhou Wenting is a cheating second-generation official, tyrannical and unscrupulous, just for the sake of venting, not taking human life as human life.
But in fact, in ancient times, Zhou Wenting was really not cheating.
First of all, he was only bullying a beggar, even if the beggar’s master was the leader of a part of the forces in Kaiyang City, and the people did not fight against the officials, his father’s identity was a natural restriction for Ji Changze and the others.
Secondly, he didn’t use the reason “because your kid is better-looking than me, so I’m going to kill you” to hunt down the wanted Ji Changze. Instead, he found an excuse to just press a crime.
Even if it was slander, when he charged Ji Changze, if there were no accidents, Ji Changze would not turn around 100%.
In the end, although he was very harsh towards ordinary people.
But to people of the same level or higher than him, Zhou Wenting looks humble.
Just now, although he looks ugly, he is not embarrassed at all when looking at Ji Changze, who is longer than himself, and even praises him.
Between the talks, he was also very low-key flattering. If Ji Changze really only looks as big as his appearance, he would have long been coaxing him to introduce him as a confidant.
This is the point that Zhou Wenting’s father is most satisfied with, and also the point that he is most proud of.
He never offends people who shouldn’t offend.
Those who bully have no chance of turning over.
For example, Zhou Wenting fell in love with Miss Huang, Miss Huang was unwilling, he jumped angrily, but did not dare to do anything to Miss Huang.
It’s because Miss Huang’s father is an official, and he is only a little lower than his father.
The restrictions imposed by ancient officials on the people were unimaginable by modern people.
Those things he did, if it weren’t for Ji Changze to have a system, unless he rebelled or climbed to a high position, he would definitely not be able to come back.
Before Ji Changze was blind again.
At the same time, he is a blind man with no social status.
Unless there is a miracle, no matter how smart he is, it will still be difficult to get a higher status than the prefect.
However, this world is so magical.
Ji Changze came back at his full level.
Facing the prefect master who directly and indirectly harmed himself and his closest relatives, Ji Changze was very stable.
He made a look that was very interested and a little arrogant:
“Brother Zhou boasted so much about his father, I’m really curious.”
Zhou Wenting was overjoyed.
Got the bait.
Sure enough, he was a hairy boy. He just coaxed it twice and couldn’t bear it.
On the face, he made a happy look:
“If Brother Ji doesn’t mind, why not come to my house tomorrow and I will show you his paintings?”
“OK!”
Ji Changze agreed.
Seeing Zhou Wenting’s joyous appearance, the smile on his face became more gentle.
The flower boat docked and Zhou Wenting left.
Looking at his back, Ji Changze took out the system cat sleeping under the table, and gently rubbed it:
“Have you seen it, it turns out that he can speak well and be reasonable.”
“It’s not that he is ignorant, but he just doesn’t bother to be reasonable to people whose status is lower than him.”
The slightly bigger little milk cat yawned:
[The host is all capable now, so why do I have to lie to him? According to the host’s ability, directly poisoning him, he can immediately die silently. 】
Ji Changze stroked the soft fur of the milk cat with a gentle voice:
“How can this be done? After all, it’s the main world, or don’t use the power that this world doesn’t have.”
Moreover, even if it has been so long, those resentments and grievances have gradually faded with the passage of time, but Ji Changze is still not so magnanimous.
Isn’t the other party relying on its power to trample civilians to death if they want to trample them to death?
Ji Changze will use their most important power to make the game.
He got off the flower boat and asked the guard who followed:
“What happened to Zhou Daru?”
The **** who had been upgraded to the white guard replied with a single glance:
“Zhou Daru said that he still needs to see the son.”
This was also expected by Ji Changze.
He nodded and said lightly:
“Then I will set off tomorrow, and after I leave tomorrow, I will send someone to the prefectural mansion, saying that my master’s letter asked me to pass, and I can’t keep the appointment.”
The guard who has been working **** the dark guard in the cos novel: “Yes.”
Since Ji Changze changed their identities, the guards instantly felt that they had grown taller.
At the beginning, they didn’t know what Bai Wei meant.
Until Ji Changze wrote a notebook for them to read.
Only then did the guards know that the emperors had secret guards around them, and these secret guards were hidden everywhere, helping His Majesty to do so many things that could not be announced.
The stability of the country is inseparable from them.
Your Majesty’s comfort cannot be separated from them.
In short, it is simply a model of paradigm among the guards.
According to Ji Changze, Bai Wei is a derivative of Dark Guard.
Of course, Ji Changze didn’t tell the truth directly to these guards.
He set his character as the young son of the hermit family who just came out of the mountain.
The purpose of looking for a guard is to take care of himself, and he thinks this is very compelling by the way.
The white guards were convinced of this.
In the first place, Ji Changze’s skill really didn’t look like an ordinary person.
Secondly, Ji Changze is indeed very rich.
Thirdly, he is so lazy, he is indeed a very young man.
At first, the white guards felt a little ashamed of the act of pretending that the master likes to pretend.
When you start to cos the guard, let the expression on your face be as expressionless as possible, the voice is serious and short, and even quietly practice how to walk in the backyard to be uniform.
Go out for a show after the effect comes out.
Looking at the admiration and envy of others, the pride and happiness in my heart will burst!
I can’t blame the son for pretending to be forced.
A fashion is going to be cool for a while.
Always pretend to be cool all the time.
The bottom of my heart is really refreshing.
In addition, Ji Changze’s treatment was really good. Not only did they whiten their identities, but they also taught them martial arts.
Besides, he looked a little bit fierce when we first met, and at other times he was kind (very flicker). The robbers had completely forgotten their previous identity, but began to maintain their identity as a white guard. .
To this end, they also paid out of their pockets and made all the uniforms.
A piece of guard clothing in white.
Look as bright as you want.
No matter where you stand, it is the focus of attention of others.
Ji Changze was very satisfied with this.
When he went to Zhou Daru’s apprenticeship, he brought along his own bright white guards.
There were actually quite a lot of great scholars in the Wu Dynasty.
Piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, pipa and guzheng, everyone who writes books.
Only you can’t think of it, nothing they don’t have.
With more Confucian scholars and great competitiveness, it is naturally not as unrestrained as written in the novel.
After all, the great scholars pay attention to a reputation.
Since he pays attention to fame, things like copper stinks, of course he has to show a dismissive attitude.
Otherwise, it is said that such and such a great scholar actually accepts gifts, and if nothing else, they will be forced to lower their rank by one level first.
Therefore, under the pressure of such involuntary competition, except for those big Confucians who were originally from a good family and were supported by someone behind them, the other big Confucians basically lived a relatively poor life.
Of course, this is not bad, people still think they are indifferent to fame and fortune.
But no matter how indifferent to fame and fortune, the great scholars have to eat.
Like Zhou Daru, although he has the same surname as Zhou Zhifu, he really has nothing to do with the prefect.
He also came from a poor family. He entered the court as an official in his early years. Later, he found that the officialdom was quite troublesome. He could only paint and be an official but not an official. He had no brain for being flexible and adaptable.
But he has a specialty.
Live long.
Zhou Daru went through three dynasties and became the veteran of the three dynasties.
Once an emperor dies, the new emperor must give some grace and increase his official position in order to show that he has not given up on the veterans left by his father.
Zhou Daru just relied on this and got into the third grade.
But after the new emperor ascended the throne, he also found that the enterprising new emperor didn’t like him very much. He dozed off when he mentioned Jiangshan government affairs, and he was a group of veterans who talked about painting.
In order to avoid being despised by others, Zhou Daru thought about it, first acted first, and resigned by himself.
He is a veteran of the three dynasties. Although he has nothing to do, he is very popular when he is old. The little emperor still has to show it more or less and keep a few times.
After three times, he refused three times, saying that he was too old to go outside, and the little emperor approved it.
Thus, Zhou Daru, a third-grade minister who resigned to ease his mind, became a great scholar.
He knows his own affairs, and the third-rank official said it seems to be very similar, but his official has no real power at all, and is simply a vase official.
Of course, Zhou Daru had no problem with this. After all, he didn’t have the ability to be an official. It was lucky to be a vase.
If he was really asked to do things for the country and the people, he would still be afraid that he would screw it up.
But becoming a Confucian scholar does not mean that you can enjoy your old age.
Because he had been a vase official, Zhou Daru faced a dilemma after resigning.
He has no money.
Other officials in the family have more or less filial piety, either the wife has money in the family, or the money in the family.
Zhou Daru is different.
He has no money himself, neither does his wife, and although his son is also an official, he is only a small official.
People will take a high look at his son as Zhou Daru’s son, but if Zhou Daru dares to collect money, his reputation will be bad, and his reputation will not be good, his son will not be able to rub his father’s light.
As a result, Zhou Daru could only survive like this.
But he still plays painting.
There are many people who want to learn poetry, but not many paintings.
Most of the people who like to paint are hobbies, and they don’t expect to carry it forward. Just paint in their own homes. The most important thing is the chief job.
Although there were many scholars in the Wu Dynasty, you might be able to draw in the eyes of the people above when you wrote poems?
That has to be super good.
But the painting is super-powerful, and it’s not enough for decades of immersion.
With this skill, those with backgrounds in the family might as well go to specialize in official positions.
As a result, Zhou Daru’s disciples were all poor children.
He is so soft-hearted, and his disciple has no money. He is always embarrassed to ask his disciple for money, right?
Although there is a bundle, but the feelings are better, Zhou Daru can’t help but subsidize the disciples who have no money to spend.
So he himself became even more out of money.
Life is tight.
A good reputation has an ass.
He can’t sell his paintings directly.
The literary circle is like this. It’s one thing that your own paintings are expensive, but it’s another thing that you, a painter, sell your paintings for money.
As a result, Zhou Daru was so stubbornly rich, but he could only live a life of rough tea and rice.
The imperial court also has pensions.
But he also has a son, grandchildren, and grandchildren. It costs a lot of money to raise a child, and Zhou Daru needs subsidies.
After subsidizing my son, I will subsidize my apprentice again.
Finally, pay the servants at home.
Zhou Daru…It’s just so moonlight.
Just when he ate coarse tea and light rice every day, and told outsiders that he was indifferent to fame and fortune and yearned for a plain life for the sake of face.
The turning point appeared.
Ji Changze wrote to him and told him that King Kang said Zhou Daru was good at painting and he wanted to apprentice a teacher.
King Kang, a respectable relative of the emperor.
The vision is still high.
The person recommended by the prince, can it be worse?
And Ji Changze didn’t just send the letter.
He also gave away his own paintings.
Zhou Daru was shocked after seeing it.
It’s not an exaggeration to say that such a painting is about the same as him.
If you have to be particular, it is that he has decades of experience more than the other party and is a little more mature.
Zhou Daru struggled for a long time.
It’s not a struggle to accept apprentices.
But entangled if he accepts this little son as a disciple.
Others find that the paintings drawn by the apprentice are better than the master, will they say something?
Zhou Daru always felt that he was a person who cared very much about these details.
He carefully studied Ji Changze’s paintings and his own.
He calculated the talent of this little boy according to Ji Changze’s age and painting.
Every day, he plucked a flower in the house and counted the petals to “receive” or “not to accept.”
In this way, a long time passed.
Zhou Daru made a decision.
receive!
What’s wrong with the apprentice painting being better than the master?
This is called green out of blue and better than blue.
Of course, Zhou Daru himself was very clear.
He didn’t think too much.
Cough cough cough.
mainly…
I can’t afford meat at home.
This apprentice looks quite rich, should…can afford meat?
