When Lan Jue saw Gu Qingzhang, he heard this. The irritability that had just been diluted by money suddenly gathered in his chest again, and said with a smile: "Oh? Then please do it for me. Who should someone like me interact with?"

Gu Qingzhang showed the expression that Lan Jue didn't like to see the most, as if he was worried and anxious for him: "Peizhi..."

Lan Jue walked straight past him, pretending that he didn't see the tea that Gu Qingzhang had just poured, he took another cup and poured another cup: "You don't have to calculate this kind of life, I will do it too. The prince Wang was just a troublemaker, and it would be strange if he was close to him. He was so arrogant because he was a general. One day he fell, his whole family would have to finish it. It's just..."

He deliberately took out the bag of money from his arms and weighed it in his hand: "Although it is difficult to have three generations of wealth and honor, General Wang has only two generations of people. General Wang is lucky and has a promising future. Even if he is attached to Prince Wang's thighs, he will not have to worry about food and drink."

Gu Qingzhang looked at him firmly: "Peizhi, don't be angry. You are not like this."

Lan Jue raised his eyebrows: "Isn't that kind of person? I am such a person. You and Liu Zhihui are really not the same person." He threw the silver bag on the bed, "Shu Lin, what I said is not anger. I am really happy to take the silver bag of Mr. Wang."

I thought my mentality was difficult to turn around, and I felt a little embarrassed, ashamed or discomfort, but I found that there was nothing at all, only happiness.

"Gu Qingzhang and I are not the same kind." Lan Jue slowly put down the wine cup, "You have investigated so much, you must have known for a long time that the department was a criminal offender. My grandfather was the chief clerk of Jingzhao Prefecture, and the prefect Xinyu was seeking personal bribes. He also wrote it in it. He was investigated by Dali Temple and committed suicide in prison for fear of crime. His home was confiscated. The remaining men and women were originally intended to be slaves. It happened that the late emperor ascended the throne and did not go to be slaves or servants, but nothing left, and even beggars were not as good as hungry.

Some have suffered sins, some can't stand their own mistakes, some are really weak and can't stand their sufferings and illnesses, and then they have only one father left. Originally, he was not left, but he jumped into the river and didn't sink. He was rescued by a laundry woman, who was his mother. He was not dead, but to say something very unfilial, it was no different from being dead. He hadn't done much except eating, drinking, and sighing in his life. I once wondered why my mother should catch him. But if he didn't catch him, I wouldn't have me."

Speaking of this, he chuckled and glanced at Zhang Ping. Seeing him listening without saying a word, his expression was quite focused. In addition to concentration, he did not reveal anything else. Although he did not follow Lan Jue's words just now, this was his nature. Lan Jue was still satisfied with this.

Back then, when Lan Jue was timid, he walked on the road and saw pedestrians chatting, and was afraid of talking about his life experience, and he wanted to find a crack in the ground to get into it. Until he entered the officialdom, he often felt that his colleagues were pointing fingers behind his back in the first one or two years, and it was even more funny to think about it.

"My mother works in a weaving workshop in Jiuhe County, a suburb of Beijing. She lives there. The headquarters is in a small market. Therefore, don't think that I don't know the price of millet and wheat, and I don't know the price of rice and oil. In fact, I have eaten all kinds of bitterness. Like you, I have chopped firewood and picked water, and sold needles and threads for my mother. I was so hungry that I stole melons from others' fields."

I used to be ashamed, but now I am understateed, it is like the merits of my youth.

Zhang Ping said: "Um."

Lan Jue suddenly felt that the young emperor put Zhang Ping out, which was really wise and powerful. He did things in this life, and it was really hard to judge. If he entered the court, the result would be unimaginable. If he had just sat opposite him, he would not think about his flattery words for the time being. "It turned out that he had been so difficult in his early years" would have to say a few words.

It is only with the mind of the headquarters that he can tolerate.

Lan Jue continued: "My father only taught me one right thing in his life. Only by studying and examing for fame can I change my life. My mother was working hard in the middle of the night to do needlework and exchange money to send me to school. She was really hard at that time. She picked up a piece of paper with words on the road and kept it home to hide it. She read it repeatedly. There is a bookstore in the north gate of the county town. I did paper-moving work there just to be able to peek at the books in the Liangyanfang. If the layout of the place was still unchanged, I could still go in and out with my eyes closed. However, I worked hard at that time and never thought about whether I really liked studying, but in fact, it was to no longer be poor." She raised her eyebrows and looked at Zhang Ping, who was still silent. "If you have any insights, it's okay."

Zhang Ping said: "The adults have not yet mentioned Gu Qingzhang, and the students have no insights."

Lan Jue narrowed his eyes slightly: "Oh, yes, why do you talk about my own affairs? It's hard for you to listen to me for a long time." The candle wick crackled, the wine entered the cup, and the shadows flowed gold.

"I met Gu Qingzhang when I entered Beijing for the examination. At that time, I sold calligraphy and paintings on the street, so he bought a few."

In the fine snow, the man put away his umbrella and raised his hand and pointed to the row of calligraphy and paintings on the stand.

"Can all these brothers sell them?"

"Sell all the hangings." He picked up the paintings on the shelf, "Why did you buy so many?"

"I just said that next year, I will definitely buy high school in high school, so I will buy it in advance and stock it up. I will be rich and prosperous in the future, so I may just point to these."

He had long been accustomed to ridicule and play with it. But the clear and smiling eyes in front of him made him not want to think about ulterior motives.

He took a painting, rolled it up, wrapped it in paper, and handed it over: "Since you are a confidant, how can you talk about buying and selling again? This painting is a gift, but I hope you will never give it up."

The man took the painting with both hands: "Brother Meng Lan can't bear to receive this generous gift, I don't know how to repay it."

Don't turn your head and pull it for use in the toilet.

He couldn't help but say, "You are indeed good at fortune telling, and you know my name."

The man blinked: "This is really not calculated." He raised his hand and pointed, "Don't there be any text on my brother's scroll?"

He couldn't help but smile: "Yes, I actually forgot about this."

The man raised his sleeve lightly, and the snow stained the corners of his eyebrows and lips, and his smile turned into thin dew.

"I actually forgot to tell my brother that his surname is Gu, Gu Qingzhang."

This situation, every word, cannot be forgotten. Once you remember it, it is like returning to that time.

"No one was with me at that time, and it was not until I met Shulin that I recognized the word "friend". He was easy-going, humble and polite, and could get along with people like me. I rented a house together, ate and stayed together. It was not until later when I met Liu Zhihui that I was a little far away."

Zhang Ping asked solemnly: "Why did Gu Qingzhang and Lord Liu get away from him?"

Lan Jue didn't expect that he would ask questions on his own initiative, and this question was really unpleasant.

"The head office has already said that because Gu Qingzhang and I are not the same type of people, he and Liu Zhihui are the same path. I was poor and the bitter and cold test should be like, and I will do what I do. In fact, it is different from others."

Zhang Ping spoke again: "No matter who is, he is different from others."

Well, yes, you are also very different from others. Haven’t you ever reflected on this? Why do you have almost no relationship except that stupid Chen Chou?

"Although each has its own differences, it is grouped according to its kind, and is different from the many, and is lonely."

Zhang Ping said: "Students think that some people like to be alone and some people are so crowded, but everyone likes it."

It turns out that it is difficult to comfort yourself like this.

Forget it, you'll be alone.

"To be clearer, I took the imperial examination at that time just for fame and fortune..."

"I always want to be an official when I come to take the imperial examination. The students also want to."

Lan Jue has never touched a ruler to Lan Hui in his life, but now he really wants to swing the round stool next to him.

"To put it more clearly, the department will do anything to seek fame and fortune. Liu Zhihui and others liked to study and learn by nature, and were in love with the country to go to the imperial examination. Only then was the right way for scholars. The difference between heaven and earth like me who only cares about fame and fortune is of course different from that of me. I always only seek profit, but Shulin couldn't persuade me. Although I was tolerant, he did not agree with my actions. Liu Zhihui's character is noble, his behavior is upright, and Shulin's temperament should have been intersected with him."

When Lan Jue and Gu Qingzhang were closest, people often wondered why Gu Qingzhang had a good relationship with people like him. Liu Zhihui was very famous in that exam, came from a family of poets and scholars, had a strong manner and was elegant in his conversation.

When Liu Zhihui and Gu Qingzhang discussed tea under the moonlight, Lan Jue could only lie under the oil lamp in the house and chew on the format.

Although Liu Zhihui and Gu Qingzhang discussed the rise and fall of ancient and modern times, what Lan Jue wanted to do was to understand thoroughly was what this year's chief examiner liked.

Liu Zhihui and Gu Qingzhang disdained the powerful and noble. Lan Jue pretended to be noble for a while, but in the end he became familiar with Wang Yan.

...

How could Gu Qingzhang not have a more intimate relationship with Liu Zhihui at that time? It was really hard to treat Lan Jue at that time as a friend.

Zhang Ping said: "It's really noble, why do you have a test?"

Lan Jue's expression suddenly became cold: "Shu Lin Yi Ni people, with my character at that time, how could I understand the real him? Now, it is even more difficult to distinguish if you remember it. If you are, you cannot judge."

Gu Qingzhang was always as good as when he first met, and was once in front of him, but he had to look at each other and could not touch him.

When he was young, he was the only clear hint of his life.

Lan Jue threw down the wine cup: "It's getting late, so you can go back first."

Zhang Ping sat on the stool and did not move: "The student was in the county and asked Gu Qingzhang about the person in the chief examiner. He told the student that he had never understood why Gu Qingzhang took the imperial examination."

Lan Jue pressed his eyebrows expressionlessly: "I have had this question. He has no ambitions of a vulgar man, nor does he mind fame and fortune. He may just be curious about seeing or experience, or just getting a training session. Even if he passes the exam, he should not enter the officialdom... The department is already in short supply, so you can retire first."

Zhang Ping was still on the stool, but he remained unmoved: "Gu Jiazhuang removed Gu Qingzhang from the exam because he went to the exam. If he only made a game, the cost would be too high. Moreover, Gu Qingzhang once mentioned to Mr. Zhu that he was admitted to the exam and reduced his fortune and longevity. He was also unhappy because of his high ranking. All kinds of behaviors made the students very puzzled. Why did he go to the exam?"

Lan Jue held down the fingers at the end of his eyebrows and let go.

Why…?

After hearing Zhang Ping's question, a thought slowly arose in his heart.

A guess he has always hidden and doesn't want to touch...

He subconsciously frowned, and was about to seize this thought, Zhang Ping had already said it—
