Qi Sheng woke up, looked at the side room lying beside him, and quietly got up to leave.
"Well, master, are you going to wake up at night?" The twenty-seven-year-old Liu has a slim figure, with big breasts and buttocks, coupled with a bright face that is indescribably charming. It is even more difficult for men to control.
But now Qi Sheng has no time to appreciate it, the eldest son is still kneeling in the ancestral hall, with injuries on his body, even though the weather is May and the weather is neither cold nor hot, kneeling in the ancestral hall all night is not pleasant.
Qi Sheng comforted: "It's nothing, you can continue to sleep."
Qi Sheng had accumulated a lot of prestige, Liu Shi didn't dare to ask any more, she obediently lay back on the bed, waited until Qi Sheng left for a while, and then called the servant girl to ask, "Where did the master go just now?"
The servant girl Yuzhu blessed Fushen, and replied: "Return to madam, the master just went to the ancestral hall."
Mrs. Liu was puzzled when she heard the words, why did the master go to the ancestral hall at this time
**
The eldest son of the Qi family, Qi Xiuwen, was born by the wife of the wife Wang. He was smart and sensible since he was a child, and he was taught by the original owner Qi Sheng who was an official. After passing the exam, I thought that the road to the imperial examination would be smooth. The unsmiling Qi Sheng and Mr. Qi had to wake up from his dreams several times, but it was a pity that the sky did not fulfill his wish. The next year, Qi Xiuwen was nowhere on the list. Qi Sheng was even more stern except for sighing. He urged his eldest son to go to school.
But I don't know if it is too tight, or Qi Xiuwen's knowledge is really not good enough. Three years later, he took the exam again, but he still failed in Sun Shan. This made Qi Sheng very angry. Tianzhou City held a relatively grand literati gathering, and Qi Xiuwen was dragged by them to go after rejecting his classmates and friends many times to no avail.
At that time, it happened to be when Qi Sheng went out to inspect the surrounding towns. Qi Xiuwen thought that his father would not come back for several days. He just had to come back as soon as possible after attending the essay meeting. Coincidentally, this time Qi Sheng went out the next day just came back.
Knowing that Qi Xiuwen had the nerve to "sneak" out to participate in the literature meeting after he failed the ranking, Qi Sheng was furious and scolded Mrs. Wang first.
When Qi Xiuwen came back, what he saw was his father's livid face and the family rules that had been arranged.
Before Qi Xiuwen could even speak, he was tied to the torture bench by his servants.
Qi Sheng was simmering with anger after his son failed the rankings, and now he is getting more and more angry when he finds out that his son sneaked out. He even vaguely thinks that when the eldest son is not usually under his nose, he also "sneaks" out to do things recklessly, otherwise he can't figure it out Why was he able to win Juren's eldest son at such a young age, but now he is nowhere on the list twice!
Now it's all right, as if he had figured out the "reason" for his failure, Qi Sheng was no longer relentless, and used all his strength to beat him up without any rules, ignoring Mrs. Wang and his daughter-in-law Lin's begging on their knees. Qi Xiuwen fainted with blood on his buttocks, Qi Sheng was willing to give up, but he didn't let him go, ordered his servants to wake him up with cold water, and sent him to kneel in the ancestral hall.
Qi Xiuwen was strictly disciplined by his father since he was a child, and he has also endured countless times with the cane on his hand. He thought that his ability to resist pain was pretty good, but this time he was beaten unconscious.
Kneeling in the ancestral hall now, there is no pain anywhere on his body, coupled with the hunger in his stomach, he almost passed out again. Qi Xiuwen was in distress. He naturally knew that his father's family law this time was not only because he was angry with him for going to the literary conference, but also because he was not able to get on the list twice.
But he knew in his heart that compared with those famous talents on the list, his level was indeed limited.
Although he had already won the Juren at the age of seventeen, his father didn't see that the ranking of the Juren was already very low. In addition, their prefecture city was not a major province in the imperial examination. Compared with those Jiangnan students with outstanding literary talents, they would He had expected to fail the exam, but he never dared to say these words to his father.
After he failed the exam for the first time, his father had the audacity to find various connections before he was able to visit the famous Master Zhang to teach him. Qi Xiuwen has indeed improved a lot in his studies in the past two years, but it is also because of Mr. Zhang Only with his guidance did he know the gap between himself and the Jinshi in the list.
It's a pity that his father has high expectations for him. Even with Mr. Zhang's letter of persuasion, he still can't stop his father from wanting him to have a try. Qi Xiuwen smiled bitterly. Did his father trust him too much, or was he too impatient
Qi Xiuwen gritted his teeth to support his body, not letting himself be too embarrassed, looked up at the dark night, only hoped that the sky would light up soon, so that he could survive this punishment.
**
While going to the ancestral hall, Qi Sheng recalled the plot of this life, first he despised the original owner's incompetence, and then pitied Qi Xiuwen for being forced by his biological father to take the imperial examination in his short life.
Qi Sheng was in the list at the age of twenty-five, but unfortunately he was admitted to the same Jinshi, and the same Jinshi is like his wife. This has become an eternal pain in Qi Sheng's heart! And because the Qi family was originally a farming and studying family, naturally there is no connection to make his official career smooth, Qi Sheng himself is not a person with great ability, and his career in officialdom is very mediocre, so he has exhausted himself from the county magistrate to the county magistrate. In the past six years, compared with some of his colleagues who are familiar with him in the same list, many of them have reached the fifth and fourth ranks, and even a few officials have reached the third rank!
Qi Sheng knew that his official career would be like this for the rest of his life. If he was lucky, he might be able to rise up again, but he would never exceed the fifth rank, and the fifth rank to the fourth rank is definitely a chasm like a chasm in the officialdom. He has already lost confidence When he saw that Qi Xiuwen was so smart and eager to learn, he only thought that God was blessing him, so he put all his energy and expectations on him.
In the early days, Qi Xiuwen was able to pass the examination at a young age. Qi Sheng was excited and at the same time couldn't help but fantasize about the future career of the Qi family. Head poured!
While Qi Sheng was annoyed and depressed, he pressed Qi Xiuwen even harder. Except for going out to study at Mr. Zhang's house, he spent the rest of the time pressing down on Qi Xiuwen to study hard, which made Qi Xiuwen who was still hopeful to be in the list depressed and unbearable. Until the third test, he suffered from too much psychological pressure and unfortunately contracted typhoid fever. He was carried out by officials before the second test was over.
While Qi Sheng was angry and resentful, he also felt that Qi Xiuwen was not up to his expectations. When he saw that his body was about to recover, he pressed people to study hard. In other words, this naturally resulted from Qi Sheng's violent beating. His already inflexible body coupled with his long-term depressed body and mind made Qi Xiuwen have a high fever in the second half of the night and kept talking, even though the doctor used a hundred-year-old ginseng Still not saved...
**
Qi Sheng walked quickly to the ancestral hall, seeing Qi Xiuwen who was kneeling in the center and supporting his body, couldn't help feeling a little distressed.
At the age of 21, he is still a college student who has not graduated in modern times, and he usually does not say anything serious, but in this ancient time, the heaven and earth are kings, relatives and teachers, and the fate of the father is hard to break. Don't have the slightest sense of disrespect and resistance in order to follow the rules of the family.
Qi Sheng curled his lips, fuck the feudal old-fashioned thinking!
Qi Xiuwen, who was cheering himself up in his heart, turned back reflexively when he heard the footsteps, and saw his father's calm face, he hurriedly straightened his posture and knelt on the ground, kowtowed to say hello, and couldn't help being afraid, could it be that his father hadn't calmed down and planned to come again a meal
The more he thought about it, the more frightened he became, coupled with the split wound behind his tensed body just now, Qi Xiuwen's painful body couldn't stop shaking.
Qi Sheng felt distressed when he saw it, and hurriedly called Qi Xiuwen's servant: "Hurry up and help the young master back to the room to rest!"
Qingzhu, Qi Xiuwen's personal servant, was pleasantly surprised when he heard this, and hurriedly asked another servant to help him up slowly.
Qi Xiuwen stood up and felt relieved a little, but seeing his father who hadn't left, he was still a little worried. Fortunately, Qi Sheng said again: "Go back and ask your wife to give you the medicine, and I will reflect on it in the room for the next two days. .”
Looking at the eldest son who was limping and leaving slowly, being held up by the two, Qi Sheng sighed, and did not return to Liu's room, but came to the study to think about his future plans.
He is now a magistrate of the seventh rank, and the county under his jurisdiction is an extremely poor place. Although it is a plain, it is deep inland and far away from the more prosperous state capitals. Commerce is underdeveloped, and agriculture can only be self-sufficient. If the weather is good, it will naturally be There is no need to worry, but if there is a disaster year, famine and refugees will definitely break out. In this era of relying on the sky, Qi Sheng has to plan ahead, not afraid of ten thousand but just in case.
Besides, now that he has come here, he has to work hard no matter what. The original owner has no hope of career and does not think about making progress. He just wants to rely on his son to win the glory of the family. Naturally, he will not be as hopeless as the original owner.
Qi Xiuwen is indeed smart and eager to learn, if he hadn't been encouraged by the original owner and put too much pressure on him, he might already be on the gold list in high school by now.
Thinking about Qi Xiuwen's articles in his memory, Qi Sheng rubbed his eyebrows.
What Qi Xiuwen lacks the most is policy and theory. In fact, this is also the weakest part of the original owner. Otherwise, it would be impossible for him to be a seventh-rank official in ten years.
It's a pity that the original owner couldn't figure this out, and even had some down-and-out literati's common problem, thinking that he was unappreciated for his talents, Qi Sheng shook his head and stopped thinking about the original owner. Qi Sheng really knows a little bit about the imperial examination, but now that Qi Xiuwen has Mr. Zhang's guidance, he doesn't intend to intervene too much in teaching, he just needs to guide at the right time.
After carefully thinking about the situation in the county, Qi Sheng went back to his room to rest after making some preliminary plans.
At this time, in Qi Xiuwen's room of Wenqing Academy, Qi Xiuwen was lying on the bed, gritted his teeth and endured the pain behind him, and when he noticed the soft sobbing behind him, he forced a smile to comfort him: "Okay, Yuan'er, take the medicine as soon as possible, I don't feel much pain."
Lin Yuyuan carefully moved lightly, wiped away her tears and complained, "Father, why do you have to use such a heavy hand!"
Before she got married, Lin Yuyuan had heard that the Qi family's rules were very strict. At that time, she had no concept of such strict rules, but in just four years, every time her father-in-law made a move on the family law, she was terrified. Passed out, but continue to be punished!
Lin Yuyuan is the daughter of Qi Sheng's former boss, Lin Zhixian, who is now Lin Zhizhou. At the beginning, Lin Zhizhou valued Qi Xiuwen's intelligence, not only betrothed his daughter to Qi Xiuwen, but also secretly helped Qi Sheng. It's not allowed that Qi Sheng is still a county magistrate now.
Qi Xiuwen sighed inwardly. Although he did not agree with some of his father's ideas, he hadn't reached the point of complaining in his heart. Regarding his wife's complaints against his father, he still defended: "Going out without father's permission this time is a crime. I was wrong, I should be punished, don't say such things in the future!"
Lin Yuyuan bit her lip and nodded, knowing that her husband was filial to her father-in-law, so she didn't talk too much about her father-in-law's right and wrong, but seeing Zishang's scars, she couldn't help but feel distressed and said, "Why don't I ask my father to come forward and ask his old man to help me again?" Persuade father-in-law to shut you up at home to study all day, so don't get sick!"
Qi Xiuwen shook his head: "What nonsense, it's best to stay at home and study, don't think about it."
In fact, Qi Xiuwen didn't want to just stay in a square inch to read and practice calligraphy every day. He knew that his weakest theory could not be improved behind closed doors, but he really understood his father's temper. Even the former boss intervened in the discipline of his own son, and the competitive father would definitely get sick from anger.
But looking at the silent wife behind him, Qi Xiuwen coaxed patiently: "Isn't there still Mr. Zhang here? If I go to Mr.'s place a few more times, I think my father won't object."
Lin Yuyuan didn't speak any more, knowing that her princess was in the right mind, so it was not easy to persuade her. After carefully applying the ointment, she was relieved to eat some porridge and cakes after serving the people. passed out.
