The next morning.

Jia Qiang woke up on time and saw Xiang Ling had arrived. She sat outside and read silently with a book of poems.

There are also copper basins, handkerchiefs, mouthwash teacups and green salt for washing on one side.

"Ahem."

Looking at Xiang Ling who was so engrossed in reading a collection of poems that she was so selfless, Jia Qiang coughed lightly and saw Xiang Ling looking up at him with blank eyes, her pretty face pure and lovely.

Although it was seventy percent similar to this face in his memory, it was completely different in style...

"Yeah? Master, are you up?"

Xiangling, who finally reacted, hurriedly gathered the poems in her hands and put them on the table beside her, before stepping forward to help Jia Qiang wash up.

Jia Qiang did not refuse. Under Xiangling's attentive service, after cleaning herself, she heard her say again: "Master, just now Miss Zijuan came to send a message that after I have had breakfast, I will go to Master Lin to talk.

"

Jia Qiang smiled and asked, "Did you sleep well last night? Is there anything you're not used to?"

Xiangling pursed her lips, tilted her head and said with a smile: "Master, I am originally from Nan Province!"

Jia Qiang hesitated when she heard the words, then laughed and said: "I was confused... When we have free time, let's take a walk around Jiangnan and see if we can find your hometown and recognize relatives to love you."

Xiang Ling lowered her head, and while helping Jia Qiang tie the sweat towel, she said softly: "I listen to you."

Jia Qiang knew that she was afraid, so she stopped talking and asked with a smile: "After reading poems for so many days, have you written one or two?"

When Xiangling heard this, she immediately raised her face, with a smile on her face. She looked at Jia Qiang and said, "It's done. Miss Lin has already agreed! Master, I'll show it to you when you have time tonight."

"

Jia Qiang laughed and said: "Okay, bring it to me and let me have a look, so that I can learn from it!"

Xiangling blushed when she heard this and said angrily: "I'm making fun of you!"

Jia Qiang laughed, and while chatting and joking, the two of them went to the Bamboo Courtyard of the West Road Courtyard.

That's where Daiyu asked Grandma Wu to clean up and arrange for Xiangling, Li Jing and others to stay.

Jia Qiang has finally achieved some results after studying hard since time travel. At least she knows the origin of the word "Moderous Bamboo".

How can I shed thousands of tears on the bamboo branches of the Xiangjiang River?

Just connecting this poem with someone's past life, I have to say that there may be some kind of causal connection...

After having breakfast with Li Jing and Xiang Ling, before Jia Qiang could go to Zhonglin Hall, she saw Zijuan coming again.

Seeing that Jia Qiang had finished her breakfast, Zijuan said with a smile: "By coincidence, our girl has just finished serving the master for breakfast, and the master also wants to meet the second master Qiang."

Jia Qiang nodded and said: "Okay, let's go together." Then she said to Li Jing: "The imperial doctor will go to give your father medicine in a while. I'll go visit after I'm done here."

Li Jing smiled and said: "It's okay. I'm busy and serious. My father's side is fine. Half of his body was cold before. Although he's having a fever now, the imperial doctor and the eminent monks from Tianning Temple said yesterday that now

It’s a good thing if it warms up.”

Jia Qiang nodded, said no more, and left with Zicuckoo.

…

At Zhonglin Hall.

Perhaps it was a close relative meeting, and Lin Ruhai's complexion looked much better today than yesterday.

After seeing the ceremony, Jia Qiang smiled and said: "Uncle-sister, it seems that it is the right thing for Aunt Lin to come back to visit her. My great-aunt is not suffering from a serious illness, but just misses Aunt Lin too much. Now that Aunt Lin is back, she will only stay for one night."

, my uncle’s illness has been mostly cured.”

Daiyu's starry eyes seemed to be filled with morning dew. She glanced at Jia Qiang with a half-smile but ignored her, showing her arrogance.

Obviously still angry about last night...

Lin Ruhai had gradually recovered a bit of the demeanor of Tanhua Lang and Quan Bi Fengjiang. After looking at Jia Qiang for a moment, he smiled and said: "Your Aunt Lin praised you again and again. She said, 'Don't be afraid of being broken into pieces. You want to leave your innocence in the world.

', even I was shocked a lot. But after hearing what you said, I thought you were not an upright person. What you said in Zuixian Tower...you can't say it out loud?"

Although the last sentence is a joke, it is also a joke made by the elders to the younger ones. At least there is no malice in the words.

However, Daiyu was still startled. She had seen someone get angry and disown their relatives.

In the Rongqing Hall, even Jia's mother and old lady Jia Qiang dared to criticize Jia She and Jia Zhen again and again, just pointing their noses and scolding them.

This is true for relatives of the Jia clan. Lin Ruhai, a relative who is not in the fifth service, can he retaliate by scolding people?

Thinking of this, Daiyu became anxious and warned Jia Qiang repeatedly with her eyes not to act recklessly!

The two of them wrote "The Legend of White Snake" on the boat and already had some basic tacit understanding.

After looking at her eyes, Jia Qiang just felt funny. She shook her head secretly and said to Lin Ruhai: "Uncle-in-law, I really didn't know that the Supreme Emperor would be next door that day and could hear the words of my trainer. Those words were indeed true.

This is the true thought in my heart. If Qingliu heard this, he would probably spit on me. But I think my great-uncle would not."

Hearing Jia Qiang's words, Lin Ruhai's eyes seemed to brighten a little, and she said "Oh" and asked curiously: "Is it possible that I am a dignified official, and I am born as a Tanhualang, so I can't be called Qingliu? Could it be that I am a dirty official?"

Jia Qiang chuckled and said: "Of course the censor is not an official, but the censor who patrols the salt... The government affairs that my aunt and father-in-law did were to raise salt taxes for the country, seize smuggled salt, and crack down on unscrupulous salt merchants. In the end, this is actually the case.

Raise money for the emperor to govern the country."

"so what?"

Jia Qiang said: "So, my uncle should understand better than those Qingliu people who only know how to talk. The difficulty of running a country is the difficulty of having no money. I once heard someone say: It is easy to conquer the world, but it is difficult to dominate the world. Since ancient times, because of

The soldiers are strong and the horses are strong, but the king is more than a hundred people? But in the end, those who can become great weapons are only those families with a few surnames. It can be seen that if you can conquer the world, you may not be able to sit in the world. It is said that the Tang Dynasty is strong, but the Sui Dynasty is much weaker than the Tang Dynasty

Go? I just thought about it, if Emperor Yang had the ability of the Supreme Emperor, how could the Sui Dynasty fall after two generations? The boy has little talent and little knowledge, and he doesn’t read much. He always thought that after the great ancestor of this dynasty, the Emperor of the Sui Dynasty ruled in the early Jing dynasty.

It really allowed the people to live a more prosperous and peaceful life, so I have deep respect for it. Of course, I did modify the extravagance of the Supreme Queen period. But I still think that the Supreme Emperor's achievements are far beyond his fault."

After Lin Ruhai heard this, he was silent for a while and then sighed: "If you really didn't think so, how could you have caught the eyes of the Supreme Emperor? However, if you really thought like this, you would definitely have difficulty making progress in the official career in the future. You have the same idea.

Something wrong..."

Jia Qiang humbly asked for advice: "Uncle, how much do I know about the affairs of the world? But with a little knowledge, I privately taught the commander to always be loyal to the emperor, so I boldly spoke nonsense, not wanting to be listened to by the Supreme Emperor. As for the

Even I don’t have much confidence in the authenticity of my opinions.” Although he is a network keyboard warrior, he still has some self-awareness.

When Lin Ruhai heard this, he looked at her with admiration again. After looking at Jia Qiang carefully for a few times, he asked: "You think what you said may not be right? If you think like this in your heart, how can you think that it may not be true?"

Jia Qiang said solemnly: "Uncle, I think that the judgment of a thing is based on an understanding of how the thing happened and developed. But people may not have a comprehensive understanding of the occurrence and development of things.

, or in other words, it will definitely not be comprehensive. Then it will definitely be difficult to make a comprehensive judgment on one thing.

I am self-aware, and my understanding of the history of this dynasty is not even half-understood. It is only a little more than my two long-term followers, so I think and say this. But I never think that,

What I said must be right."

Daiyu teased: "You don't know whether you are right or wrong. You don't want to find out first, but you are busy teaching others?"

Jia Qiang shook her head and said: "What is true and what is false? There are many things that will never be clear in a lifetime, especially the big affairs of the world. It is boring to pursue the truth of right and wrong."

Daiyu glanced at him, and Lin Ruhai also took a deep look at Jia Qiang and said: "You are more and more beyond my expectation... I kept Zhou Chang's letter with me, worrying that the Jia family has no successor. If I knew you had such an opinion

, you will be extremely happy. Brother Qiang, what you said is quite true to the truth of Lao Zhuang: 'My life has an end, but my wisdom also has no end'... I heard that you are not willing to be an official, and you are not willing to be an official.

Kneel down with others and swear an oath in front of the Supreme Emperor that you will never enter the court in this life?"

By the time he finished speaking, his expression was very solemn.

His expression...

How should I put it? Maybe it was because when the Lin family was in dire straits, Jia Qiang did her best to not only help Daiyu go south, but also managed to seek medical treatment and saved his life. This allowed Lin Ruhai to shorten the distance between her distant relatives outside the fifth server.

It's almost like a close relative.

What we are talking about now is actually something that cannot be discussed except by close relatives.

Jia Qiang was not surprised or resisted. Based on his secret observation, Lin Ruhai was incorruptible and upright, but he was not a pedantic person who did not know how to adapt.

Thinking about it, he has been able to sit in such a high-power and important position as the Salt Patrol Censor for so many years. If he had only been upright and invited people with high reputations, he would not be able to sit here now.

But what is really rare is that he does not act like an elder, thinking that he can control the destiny of the younger generation at will.

This kind of attitude is the virtue that Jia Qiang deeply hates.

After hearing Lin Ruhai's words, Jia Qiang thought for a while and said slowly: "Back to my aunt and father-in-law, this is indeed the case. In addition to not letting the Supreme Emperor misunderstand that I have the heart to be like a fly and a dog when I first met the saint, I also really don't like officialdom.

way."

These words...

It's equivalent to the previous life when Jia Qiang said to her elders, "I don't like having a serious job. It's the same reason."

In today's world, studying and becoming an official is the only serious job for a good man.

As expected, Lin Ruhai frowned when he heard this and asked with dissatisfaction: "As long as you don't join the ranks of corrupt people as an official, keep yourself clean, and be honest and upright, you can still display your knowledge and become a minister of governance. The title of the Jia family

It doesn't fall on you. Since you are a good scholar, why don't you want to be an official? Could it be that you are greedy for pleasure, can't bear hardships, can't bear grievances, and just want to be happy and rich? "

Seeing Lin Ruhai getting really angry, Daiyu looked at Jia Qiang worriedly.

In her opinion, Zong Jia Qiang was extremely talented, but she had no elders to protect her.

The Supreme Emperor praised him but only used him as a pawn.

If she could be valued and cared for by her father, wouldn't the future be much safer?

I hope his answer can satisfy her father and understand him. If so, it will be much easier in the future...
