MTL - A Complete Explanation of the Negative Textbooks of the Imperial Examination-Chapter 58 backlash

Xiao Lin always does things properly, Xiao Jingduo sent Xiao Lin back to fetch the poems he wrote, and after a while, Xiao Lin came back with a volume of books.

When he ran over, he was still panting: "It's not good for small things, so Lang Jun has to wait for a long time. Madam brought a bunch of things to Qingzeyuan, Qiu Ju is taking people home, many Things are all piled up together, which delays the time to find things."

"It's fine, just do my best." Xiao Jingduo took the poem scroll from Xiao Lin and opened it in front of everyone. When the ebony wood was halfway through, something suddenly fell.

A scholar with sharp eyes, saw this scene, he shouted: "Hey, what fell out?"

This person is not very careful, the thing that fell out was obviously a letter, and he didn't think about the convenience, he picked it up and unfolded it: "Xiao Tongnian, how do you put the letter folder? It's in the book, how inconvenient... Hey, whose letter is this?"

In the same year Xiao, you actually read these?"

Xiao Jingduo also carefully looked at what was in his hand, and finally recognized it clearly, shook his head and said, "This is not mine, maybe it is wrong."

"Didn't your book boy just say that your family is storing things? It is estimated that other people's things have been mixed into your book basket."

The jinshi, who had already browsed the letter, shook his head, hesitantly handed the letter he picked up to Xiao Jingduo, with a very complicated expression on his face: "Brother Xiao, you...don't care too much, this letter …”

Xiao Jingduo took the stationery suspiciously and quickly began to browse. The people sitting next to Xiao Jingduo were bored and came over to join in the fun.

letter.

Several others looked at each other and asked, "Whose letter is this?"

"In this volume of legends, it should belong to a female family member, but I don't know which female family member of Xiao Tongnian's family."

Everyone speculated, Xiao Jingduo sighed and took the initiative to interrupt these people's speculation: "It's my stepmother's."

There is also a stepmother, and this stepmother treats Xiao Jingduo very badly.

However, judging from the letter from the stepmother, this is no longer "bad for him". The letter relayed that the mother kept telling Wu's father to interfere with Xiao Jingduo's appointment results, it is best to let him lose the election, This is simply ruining the future.

Now these jinshi have been stimulated to sober up, and even the few people who were just drunk and crazy have suddenly come over. These new scholars have been very proud since the list was released, and they are guests everywhere. When did they expect such a thing to happen?

Everyone was a little angry for a while: "Your stepmother is too much, just relying on her family background, you can arbitrarily manipulate the election results? It's crazy!"

Most of these people are from poor families, and they have to study hard for ten years to get a chance to be an examiner, so they will be looked down upon by aristocratic families. Many official positions in the DPRK are controlled by aristocratic families, almost hereditary within them, and will not give civilians any opportunities. It turned out that before they jumped over the Dragon Gate, these young jinshi were like other commoners, blindly admiring the aristocratic family, but now they have half footed into the officialdom, and they have come into contact with the children of the aristocratic family who were originally out of reach. It's not that holy either, it's just an ordinary person. Coupled with the conflict of interests, the family ruthlessly suppressed the underprivileged children who tried to squeeze into the officialdom, and the new scholars were pushed further and further away, and finally even stood on the opposite side of the family.

Especially now that they have also discovered that an out-married girl from a small and medium-sized family dared to manipulate the election results outrageously, as if losing a new scholar was just a matter of hands. You must know that Xiao Jingduo is a young jinshi with the best family background among them, who is known as a genius, so he can't escape the fate of being suppressed by the aristocratic family.

Thinking of this, the scholars were very angry, and there was inexplicable grief among them. One person said to Xiao Jingduo: "Your stepmother treats you like this, isn't she afraid?"

"What would she be afraid of?" Xiao Jingduo seemed to be hit too, and smiled coldly, "She is a daughter of an aristocratic family, my father and grandmother always put her first, and she also She gave birth to a pair of direct sons and daughters, and in the future, I am afraid that my father's marquis will also be her son, in this case, what will she be afraid of?"

"This...doesn't your father care about it? You are the eldest son, the heir of etiquette and etiquette, do they even ignore the laws of the court?"

Xiao Jingduo shook his head and did not speak, and the speaker also realized his innocence.

I have power and can really do whatever I want.

That's all, keep drinking."

The people at the same table were so angry that they asked in disbelief, "Aren't you angry?"

"What's the use of being angry, when I was ten years old, I was sent to a Buddhist temple to observe filial piety, and when I was thirteen, I was almost infected with smallpox by her. It will be much better, but now it seems that I can't escape it. I can't be valued by my father, and I can't compete with the Wu family. In this case, let the stepmother do what she wants. Let her do it. The official assessment has ended, and the final result will be left to God's will."

Although everyone knew that Xiao Jingduo was right, they still held a sigh of relief. Especially Xiao Jingduo's resignation attitude made them even more angry. Finally, after holding back for a long time, he could only comfortably say: "Brother Xiao, don't be discouraged, your stepmother is so vicious, sooner or later there will be retribution."

Frustrated? Bai Jiayi, who was watching the audience by the side, smiled quietly. Could Xiao Jingduo be the one who accepts his fate? He has known Xiao Jingduo for so many years, and he has never seen Xiao Jingduo say a dejected word, let alone appear in such a low-pitched appearance. Bai Jiayi is really convinced. In order to achieve his goal, Xiao Jingduo can actually show his face and pretend to be weak. After all, what can arouse the indignation of others more than a talented high school jinshi who is constantly persecuted by his stepmother?

Admiration, amazing.

Everything was as expected, Xiao Jingduo turned his face slightly, saw Bai Jiayi smiling maliciously, noticed his gaze, and winked at him pretentiously .

Xiao Jingduo was disgusted, he turned his head, and didn't want to look at this person again.

Xiao Jingduo knew that his means of stealing and changing pillars could not be concealed for long. The Wu family and Wu Junru would soon realize that something was wrong, but for him, this time was enough.

Wu Junru's handwritten letter was her fatal flaw. Xiao Jingduo kept pressing it and refused to show it easily. It was not until the end of the official appointment in May that he started the plan and gave Wu Junru a fatal blow.

Strike a thunderbolt.

The new scholars are the darlings of Chang'an every year. No matter which banquet they go to, they are the guests of the seat, and scholars are somewhat idealistic and romantic. Longing for all the injustices in the world to be vanished, once they encounter any injustice but cannot express it, and the sufferer is resigned to fate, these scholars must feel uncomfortable and hard to let go. Once they have this matter on their minds, it is only a matter of time before they spread to the upper circles of Chang'an with their high-level banquets and social interactions.

Xiao Jingduo added the last fire to today's affairs: "The son does not tell his mother's fault, you should never hear about today's affairs, and don't stand up for me. If you Being hated by the Wu family because of me, then I really have to die."

Xiao Jingduo's advice was for their own good, but because of this, everyone became more and more angry.

The power of the aristocratic family's monopoly is great, and she is also angry at her own powerlessness.

Seeing that these people were listening, Xiao Jingduo was secretly relieved. Although Xiao Jingduo wanted to use the influence of these jinshi to spread the matter, he didn't want to ruin their future, so he could only hint again and again, just say it in private, and don't make a crusade with great fanfare.

Friends talked about this, and they couldn't help gossip when they went out to the banquet. The last word was passed on from ten to ten, and the circle of literati quickly spread.

Wu Junru dealt with the Hou Fuzhong feeder as usual. After sending off a wave of servants, she rubbed her sour eyes and asked, "What is Ye'er doing?"

"Shiro-kun is being detained and studying, madam can rest assured."

Wu Junru nodded, that's fine. She was willing to do anything for her son, but naturally she refused to admit that Xiao Jingye would be inferior to Xiao Jingduo, so Xiao Jingye began to study and practice martial arts from a very young age, and Wu Junru personally supervised it, more than anyone else. Wu Junru thought to herself, she must see her son grow up and stand out, and let Xiao Jingduo see what a genius is.

After confirming Xiao Jingye's movements, Wu Junru returned her attention to the chores in front of her.

These trivial matters day after day, as if there is no end, Wu Junru raised her head wearily and looked at the blue sky outside the window with some trance.

I don't know how my father is doing.

Wu Junru thought about it for a while, then took back her eyes and braced herself to deal with the next wave of servants. Wu Junru originally thought that being a noble lady in ancient times was really wonderful. It was so comfortable to have food and clothing without worrying about food and clothing, not having to work for others and not having to look at people's faces. But when she really became Madam Hou and had to fulfill Madam Hou's obligations, Wu Junru realized how ridiculous her previous fantasies were. Although Mrs. Hou was pampered, she was trapped in the back house, like a bird in a cage, seeing the same people dealing with the same things every day, which was really a tedious and terrifying thing.

If it wasn't for her son, Wu Junru would have been unable to hold on.

"Call the people in the kitchen in." Wu Junru said.

The maid in the kitchen stood in front of Wu Junru and asked for tomorrow's recipe. Halfway through the conversation, a maid hurried in and said eagerly, "Madam, the fourth lady is here!"

Fourth Lady? Who is this? Wu Junru was about to scold the maid, but suddenly realized something.

Isn't her mother the fourth lady of the Wu family?

After she understood, Wu Junru stood up abruptly: "She...why is her mother here? Why didn't she even report a message before?"

"I don't know, the concierge dare not stop me. Madam's carriage has already entered the side door, and I'm afraid it is coming soon."

"What are you still doing, come with me to meet my mother."

"No need." The mother of the Wu family was already standing at the gate of the courtyard, looking at Wu Junru with a bad face, "I don't dare to work for you to greet me."

Suddenly seeing her first-born mother, Wu Junru's complexion also changed. She forced a smile and hurriedly greeted her: "Why did the mother suddenly come to visit her daughter? When did you arrive in Chang'an, why didn't you inform her daughter, so that her daughter could send someone out of the city to meet you! All these years, I don't know if my father and mother were in Qinghe. it is good?"

The mother of the Wu family, accompanied by Wu Junru, walked into the house with her arms in hand. There were still quite a few kitchen stewards who came to report trivial matters to Wu Junru. When they saw the Wu family's wife coming, they looked worried, they didn't know where to put their hands and feet, and they didn't know what else to do after greeting the Wu family's wife. , had no choice but to stand by the side.

Wu Junru welcomed her mother to the seat, and before she had time to speak, the mother said, "Let them all go out, I have something to tell you."

Wu Junru thought of the letter sent to the Wu family a few days ago, and she had a guess in her heart, and swayed the servant back according to the words.

When only the servants of the Wu family were left in the house, Wu Junru called out affectionately, "Mother..."

"You still dare to call my mother?" The first mother suddenly attacked and slapped Jingshi heavily, "Don't kneel down for me!"

?"

"Oh, your wings are hard, and now you dare to contradict my words." The mother sneered, and threw two blank letters into Wu Junru's face, "Look at what you do. good thing!"

No one dared to talk to Wu Junru like this for a long time. Wu Junru was extremely unhappy, but in front of the Wu family's servants, she couldn't have a seizure. She held back her anger and picked up the envelope, wanting to see what the mother-in-law was playing.

Wu Junru picked up the letter with a stern face. As soon as she saw the title on the envelope, she stiffened. After Wu Junru opened the two envelopes and checked all the letters inside, the expression on her face The expression is already very ugly.

"How come... two blank sheets of paper? Where's my letter?"

The author has something to say: #Don't make enemies with Xiao Jingduo easily#

#Otherwise you will never know who will teach you how to be a man in the next second#
