Chapter 149: First Sight of Xu Guangqi
Liu Shouyou's matter is just a small episode, although Zhu Changluo is definitely going to deal with him, but now is not the time, if he can be honest, Zhu Changluo doesn't mind letting him jump for a while longer. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć ļ½ļ½ļ½ļ½
Perhaps for the nobles in the city, the end of April represents the coming of summer, the sun wantonly exudes its own heat, and begins to scorch the earth......
But for the people at the bottom, they don't have time to manage whether there is a big man in the city, whether the prefect is losing face, the end of April is the spring wheat harvest season for them, if they miss this section, not only the rent of the old man can not be paid, but even the rations of their own family have become a problem.
Walking on the country road, Zhu Changluo saw the scene of harvesting wheat in full swing, and even many families were all in battle, and a teenage child like him was already a strong laborer......
Today, although Zhu Changluo is wearing a white dragon fish suit, he is also wearing silk clothes, and he can see that he is a noble son, but these farmers just looked up and continued to lower their heads to work.
"Childe, look, that's Xu Guangqi......"
Wang Daoheng looked slightly embarrassed, pointed to the distance and said to Zhu Changluo.
In fact, he didn't blame him for being like this, although Wang Daoheng didn't know what his prince and nephew were looking for this Xu Guangqi, but in his mind, since Xu Guangqi was a scholar and could get into Zhu Changluo's eyes, he must be a great talent who read poetry and books, but now he appeared in this scene, which inevitably made people think that he didn't take good care of people, so he was a little embarrassed.
"This ...... Childe, I really didn't let him go to the ground, he had to ...... himself"
Before Wang Daoheng's words were finished, he was interrupted by Zhu Changluo raising his hand, because the person who was pointed out by Wang Daoheng had already hurriedly walked over.
"Wang Yuanwai, why are you here? This...... Don't get me wrong, it's really too busy in the fields to help, so I'm here to help......"
In front of Zhu Changluo, there was a man in the prime of his thirties, who was very strong, dressed in a neat short fight, with mud on his body, and a hint of uneasiness on his slightly dark face, he bowed to Wang Daoheng and said hurriedly.
"Why do you look like this, didn't I say that you should study hard at home and prepare for next year's imperial examination? Is not enough money I have given you? ā
Seeing Xu Guangqi's embarrassed appearance, Wang Daoheng was even more angry, and said with a displeased face.
He didn't know why Zhu Changluo asked him to find Xu Guangqi, so naturally he didn't reveal his identity to him, but just said that he admired his talent and wanted to help him, this kind of thing is very common in Jiangnan, because Jiangnan is prosperous, there are many rich families, and their own family failed to pass the exam, so they often accept some poor scholars, if one day, these poor scholars will soar, and their own families will naturally be protected by it, and it will not cost them much money to return to reform......
There is no doubt that Xu Guangqi is also one of such poor scholars, so when he saw his own financial master, Xu Guangqi would be so cramped and uneasy, without him, Wang Daoheng gave him silver to live, because he wanted him to study hard and be admitted to the imperial examination, but now he is running to farm, as if he was caught doing bad things.
"Hehe, Wang Yuanwai is too harsh, farming is the foundation of the country, and it is not a bad thing that Brother Xu is so interested in farming!"
When Xu Guangqi was embarrassed and at a loss, he saw a young man next to Wang Daoheng speak.
Speaking of which, Zhu Changluo only had time to take a good look at the character he had been looking for for a long time, dressed neatly up and down, with a dark complexion, long arms and strong waist, and mud on his legs, he didn't look like a scholar at all, but like a farmer who went to the field all the year round.
"Ahem, Guangqi, come and see Zhu Gongzi!"
Wang Daoheng's face was slightly embarrassed, so he stopped his mouth and spoke.
At the same time, Xu Guangqi was also looking at the brocade boy in front of him, although his body looked a little thin, but his etiquette was extraordinary, his conversation was quite good, and he had a sense of nobility between walking, which was definitely not available to people from small households.
What's more, the two sturdy men behind him are obviously guards, and although he doesn't know who Wang Daoheng is, he knows that this person who sponsors him is not a simple person, and he is very generous.
But even if he is a member of the king, in front of this Zhu Gongzi, he is very respectful, which shows that this identity is not simple.
Although Wang An didn't come with him today, Zhu Changluo, as a prince, naturally had no shortage of people around him, but in this short moment, someone sent a simple seat and set up a simple tent.
"The tea is simple, I don't know if it can be compared to Brother Xu?"
Looking at Xu Guangqi, who was a little nervous opposite, Zhu Changluo took a sip of tea and said.
"Childe is polite, Xu is just a down-and-out son, and he doesn't dare to be so courteous as a son......"
At this point, Xu Guangqi also saw that it was not the king who had been funding him, but the noble son in front of him, but no matter how he thought about it, he didn't know where he had come into contact with such a big man before.
"Hehe, Brother Xu doesn't have to be nervous, now scholars are all high at reading, but Brother Xu can still do farming himself, but I admire it tightly!"
Zhu Changluo laughed and said.
This made Xu Guangqi calm down a little and laughed at himself.
"My family is poor and can't sustain myself, so I just plough the fields and make a living!"
Seeing the other party's posture, Zhu Changluo's eyes flashed and said.
"So, Brother Xu is determined to be a eunuch?"
This sentence is very common, and it is easy to answer, the so-called learning of literature and martial arts, selling to the emperor's family, how many people who study do not want to be in a high position and shepherd one side?
But Xu Guangqi didn't know why, and suddenly felt that this question might determine his life.
After thinking for a moment, Xu Guangqi shook his head slowly but firmly, and said.
"Childe misunderstood, although Xu is a scholar, but his wish is not to enter the court and become an official, if he can, he is more willing to plough the fields and study farming, if he can make good improvements, gain something, and by extension, wouldn't it be much better than being a mediocre official?"
This is the first time Xu Guangqi confided his thoughts to others, speaking of which, the Xu family is a standard farming heirloom, and when it came to Xu Guangqi's grandfather's generation, the family was in the middle of the road, and he could only rely on a few acres of thin fields to make a living.
Therefore, since childhood, Xu Guangqi has understood that farming is not easy, every time he sees his parents working hard for a whole year, but only have food and clothing, if there is a disaster year, and still need to go out to work to live, he secretly decided that he must improve farming in the future, so that farmers like his parents who work hard no longer rely on the sky for food, but want to do this, how difficult is it?
Not only Xu Guangqi's parents, but even his wife have been persuading him to study hard and not let him work in the field, in order to let him one day be named on the gold list, if it weren't for his wife's physical exhaustion because of the wheat harvest, and he would be raised at home, I am afraid that it would not be his turn to work......
