It’s strange that in the past few days, some fellow villagers have invited Guan Shaoning out, saying that they are asking for teaching questions.

Guan Shaoning didn't want to pay attention. The exam period was approaching, and he felt that the most important thing was to review his homework now, and there was really no need to socialize.

However, Lu Xiangsheng didn't think so. He, the county magistrate, would occasionally come to see this juren, and the two would occasionally chat for a few words.

Lu Xiangsheng advised him: "The more time you go out to discuss with others, it may be helpful for your studies. If you just work behind closed doors, your studies may not be beneficial."

Lu Xiangsheng is a veteran, and after all, he passed the Jinshi exam.

After thinking about his words carefully, Guan Shaoning thought it made sense.

So Guan Shaoning happily agreed to the invitation from a fellow villager.

On the same day, he arrived at the Juxian Building agreed by his fellow villagers.

This is a tea shop. The second floor has been booked by these scholars from Nanzhili, and laughter and joy come from time to time upstairs.

Guan Shaoning went upstairs and saw a scholar reciting a poem, and everyone applauded.

The person who recited the poem was sharp-eyed. This man was very elegant and elegant. Moreover, he was very suitable for his behavior. When he saw Guan Shaoning, he did not look contemptuous when he saw him, and even said with a smile: "Who is here? Please ask for the name of the surname."

Guan Shaoning said: "I'm a surname Guan, her name is Shaoning, and her name is..."

He said halfway, and many scholars were already bursting into laughter.

One person said: "Is it the Guan Shaoning who colluded with the factory guard?"

When Guan Shaoning heard this, he was shocked at first.

Even though he was stupid, he realized that this seemed to be a feast for Hongmen.

He thought about it and replied honestly: "I am a little embarrassed when I come to the capital. Fortunately, I rely on Zhang Baihu, the Jinyiwei..."

The scholar who originally spoke smiled and said, "Is it the infamous Zhang Jingyi?"

Guan Shaoning frowned. He respected Zhang Jingyi very much.

Another person sneered: "Guan Shaoning... Although you don't have a literary name, you are a scholar at least. How can you join such a person? Where did your scholar's character go?"

However, the romantic and elegant man said, "Okay, please sit down and talk first. He may just be ignorant of the world and do not know the sinister world."

After saying that, he pulled Guan Shaoning to a tea table and sat down on his shoulder.

Guan Shaoning had never seen such a scene before, and in fact he didn't know much about socializing. After all, before coming to the capital, he spent most of his time studying in Taoist temples.

At this time, seeing these same people and fellow villagers wearing brocade clothes and jade belts, all of whom were full of ambition, they were completely at a loss.

This romantic and elegant man said: "I am Liu Ruozai, my reputation is not worth mentioning."

Guan Shaoning was shocked. Of course, he knew who Liu Ruozai was. His literary name was well known to all scholars in Jiangnan.

Not only has he been famous since childhood, but what really makes people admire is Liu Ruozai's family background. The Liu family has been known as three Jinshi in one school, and there are countless scholars in the juren and scholars.

With such a family background, and last year's provincial examination, Liu Ruozai went directly to the top of Nanzhili, which was Jie Yuan. Almost everyone thought that Liu Ruozai would definitely win! If nothing unexpected happens, their Liu family would have four Jinshi in one subject.

Liu Ruozai looked at Guan Shaoning with a smile. Guan Shaoning felt very inferior. In front of such a person, he felt that he was shorter. When he saw that even the Liu family's book boy stood aside, he was polite and gentle and decent. Guan Shaoning felt that he was not as good as his book boy.

At this time, Liu Ruozai said earnestly: "Since Jung-in-law is a scholar, why should I be the eagle of the Jinyiwei?"

Guan Shaoning looked confused.

Liu Ruozai said: "That Zhang Jingyi is notorious. If you receive his favor, you will definitely defame your reputation in the future."

This sentence hit the nail on the head.

Yes, scholars need to have a reputation. If they have a bad reputation, what if they get benefits for a while?

Guan Shaoning naively thought that everyone might not know Zhang Jingyi.

So he stood up very seriously, bowed to everyone and said, "You all know that this hundred households help me, and they have no selfish intentions. They also take good care of me on weekdays. How can we judge the good or bad of a person? Are all good among these scholars? According to the students' opinions..."

Having said that, Liu Ruozai's face became slightly stiff and unnatural.

The other scholars naturally were not polite and mocked: "Is Guan Juren already able to do this before he passed the Jinshi?"

Someone said, "Look at him, since he has climbed Zhang Baihu, why didn't Zhang Baihu buy him a better outfit? Haha..."

As soon as these words came out, everyone burst into laughter.

Liu Ruozai looked at him coldly at this time and said, "Scholars should not mislead themselves. Zhang Jingyi framed the loyal and kind people and harmed the people..."

When Guan Shaoning heard this, he suddenly felt numb. He thought it would be enough to explain the misunderstanding. If everyone knew Zhang Baihu’s true character and his achievements in Xinxian County, they would definitely look at Zhang Baihu with admiration like him.

But who would have expected that the four words of framed Zhongliang were said from Liu Ruozai, and Guan Shaoning was trembling with anger.

For scholars, when using these four words to judge a person, it is actually no different from a scolding mother.

"Bang!" Guan Shaoning suddenly slapped the table.

Angry light came out in his eyes and said angrily: "Don't slander people, how did Zhang Baihu frame the loyal and kind? How did he harm the people? But you, are you talking about right and wrong behind the scenes? I saw him with your own eyes as an official and anxious about the people's concerns. But what have you done to the people that are good for the people? He spoke loyally and kindly, and he kept talking. Loyal and kind and the people are always talking, but you know what loyalty and kindness are and what are the people? Sit and talk, talk nonsense, and don't know what so-called!"

Liu Ruozai and others' faces were already dark, and no one dared to scold them like this!

Someone angrily said, "I never thought that you don't have any literary name. You have to stick to the factory guards and dare to talk to the public here! The scholars are really disgusted by people like you... Sure enough, you and Zhang Jingyi are birds of a feather."

Guan Shaoning gritted his teeth in anger. He had never seen the world and had never fought with anyone on weekdays. He just felt that these people insulted him and his benefactor, which was really hateful!

He raised his hand and wanted to hit someone, but he was powerless to hang down. He was so angry that he didn't know what to do, but he bent down, put his head in front, and then rushed into the arms of the scholar.

When fighting, you actually use your head, which shows that Guan Shaoning is not a material for fighting.

But that scholar was also a waste, and was caught off guard and knocked over by him.

All of a sudden, everyone became angry and someone said, "The traitor is hitting someone."

As he said, everyone had already rushed over and surrounded Guan Shaoning and was ready to beat him.

…………

After one hour.

Zhang Jing went to Shuntian Mansion to lead people.

Guan Shaoning was beyond recognition at this time.

But at this time, he was still angry and held his head high, as if I had been beaten and was beaten very badly, but I didn't feel at a loss.

As soon as Zhang Jing walked in front, he followed behind and followed.

After walking dozens of steps.

Suddenly, Guan Shaoning called Zhang Jing and said, "Zhang Baihu, the student has a reluctant request."

Zhang Jing stopped and turned around. He had a headache. He thought that our factory guards would not compete with each other. It turns out that these scholars are real fighting cocks.

But when he looked back, he was shocked, but he saw Guan Shaoning bowing behind him.

Zhang Jingyi said in surprise: "What are you going to do?"

Guan Shaoning's expression was extremely cautious and said, "Students have figured it out. It's better not to take the exam! Those juren and students are ashamed to be with them. From now on, I would rather be a civil servant in Xinxian County and ask my benefactor to take shelter."

Zhang Jingyi stared at Guan Shaoning.

He suddenly realized that this very awesome guy... was very stupid and naive.

"Be a civil servant?"

"Yes." Guan Shaoning said seriously.

When Zhang Jing saw that he was serious, he became a little angry and said, "Then tell me, what will you do? Are you stronger than others, or do you understand the worldly ways better? Or do you know how to arch, horse, ride and shoot? What else do you do besides studying?"

Guan Shaoning looked at Zhang Jingyi in shock, and then said, "Students can learn."

Zhang Jingyi couldn't help but sneer: "You have been studying for a lifetime, and then give up? Do you know why I didn't settle the score with those scholars? Let me tell you the truth, if I don't settle the score with them, I don't want to help them, and I don't want others to say that they are all bullshit scholars, saying that they are upright... You hold your breath in my heart, isn't it that I feel? Do you want to vent your anger, but use this method? Let me stand up and think of this breath, then go to the imperial examination and step them all under your feet."

Guan Shaoning actually thought it made sense.

But soon, he shook his head and said, "I may not have passed the exam. I know that many of them are from Jiangnan."

This guy...is very real, but he doesn't seem to know how terrifying his strength is.

Zhang Jingyi naturally disagreed with his words.

What kind of shitty names are not all made of?

He looked at the foolish guy in front of him and said with a long face: "Isn't it still more than half a month? Just study more. You don't even have the courage to take the exam, so you are so embarrassed to go to Xinxian to be a clerk? Besides, if you don't go to the exam, how can you know that you are really not good? Stand up and go back and review your homework carefully! Oh, I'll prepare some excellent eight-legged essays for you. Since Emperor Taizu Gao to date, you have a good look at all the top scholar articles."

Guan Shaoning thought about it and actually thought Zhang Jingyi's words were very reasonable, so he stood up and said, "My benefactor's words made the students enlighten and the students received teaching."

He seemed very serious.

Go ahead!
