After Tao Rui returned to Beijing from the paddock, he bought a lot of books and exchanged chess for loan books. He went to the study room of Qi's house and ransacked a lot. Qi Yushi's beard straightened with anger.
Then he began to read books and understand current affairs. This disturbs Qi Yushi even more, because Qi Yushi is the official closest to him, his position is not low, and his daily understanding of current affairs is definitely the most timely.
So Tao Rui often brought some food and wine to visit the gate, and after playing chess with Qi Lang, he talked to Qi Yushi and asked for advice.
Qi Yushi was not used to it at first, after all, he used to scold this kid at home before. But after talking with Tao Rui two or three times, he completely changed his view of Tao Rui, and asked Qi Langduo to learn from Tao Rui. Don't indulge in playing chess all day, just play.
Now that Qi Yushi is in the court, he still looks forward to seeing Tao Rui, hoping to help Tao Rui in his fame test.
People like Huang Shizi don't want Tao Rui to pass the exam. Even if they did not dare to trouble Tao Rui on the face, selfishly hoped that Tao Rui was down and gradually forgotten by the emperor, lest Tao Rui would trouble them when he got up.
Anyway, good poetry does not mean that they have good opinions on current affairs, nor does it mean that they have a good way to solve the problems of the court. They think that if Tao Rui has real skills, why do they trust people to buy talents? It is certain that Tao Rui is weak in this respect.
In fact, this is because in this dynasty, the content of the exam for Xiucai basically needs to be memorized by rote. Tao Rui bought Xiucai because of the limited number of places, so you can buy it in advance to avoid losing contacts; the other is that you don't want to spend a lot of time to go. After reciting and skipping the scholar, he only needs to quickly understand the meaning of various books, which can save a lot of things.
Now he is going to take part in the examination for writing poems and making essays, and then the examination will mainly examine the students' views on current affairs. The emperor will put the questions in the palace examination, and the more difficult ones will be solved by the imperial court. These are easier for him.
"Reading hard" gave Tao Rui an excellent excuse to refuse those banquets to see him in the name of invitation. After the news that he was going to take part in the test spread, the people who wanted to recruit him as son-in-law also suspended their actions, and were ready to wait and see if he could pass the exam. After he was admitted, the emperor would give him what position, and then he would be judged at that time. Don't mention the attitude toward him.
Probably it is to judge whether to marry a concubine or a prostitute, to marry a daughter at random or to marry the daughter of your own favorite.
In short, there are a lot of discussions about Tao Rui, and there are also many people waiting to see what fame he can test. Xuanjinhou's Mansion knew these things when the imperial decree arrived. They have been kept behind closed doors, trying to manage the lowest ebb period.
Before the emperor went to hunt in the paddock, he did not call the people from Xuanjin Hou's Mansion, but he called Tao Rui to go. In those few days, they were simply worried, wondering why Tao Rui was favored by the emperor.
The emperor liked Tao Rui and degraded them, wouldn't they have a gloomy future?
Now the emperor finally decreed that Tao Rui's son was removed and Tao Rui's household registration was removed. But the emperor did not agree to Tao Qian's invitation to Tao Bin, and Tao Bin was not the new son.
From the attitude of the eunuch, Tao Qian knew that the emperor liked Tao Rui more, and sent someone out anxiously to inquire. He didn't expect to hear the news about beating tigers empty-handed and being the best in martial arts, and the emperor actually asked Tao Rui to participate in the Qiuwei. Tao Rui also really started studying behind closed doors.
What does this mean? It means that as long as Tao Rui can pass, he can go straight to Qingyun. The emperor's love is simply a ladder!
The outside world was spreading that Tao Rui was blessed. Tao Qian was so angry that he broke into the small Buddhist hall that Tao Li thought about. He grabbed her and asked: "Is Tao Rui a lucky star or Tao Bin is a lucky star? I think everything in the house is unlucky. Starting from Tao Bin's worrying about his elder sister-in-law, Tao Rui will go past us as soon as possible!"
"What are you talking about!" Tao Li can show weakness and grievance, but he can't tolerate Tao Bin saying that.
Tao Li pushed him away and frowned and said: "Qin Ruo is not a elder sister-in-law without marrying Tao Rui, and Bin'er is just confused by that fox Meizi, don't you know that he is a good boy when he grows up? He knows how sad he should be when you say this to him?
I am sure that Master Xuanzong is talking about my son, and my hard-earned son can bring glory to the whole house. "
Tao Qian stared at her with bleak eyes, "Because of your words, we have already offended Tao Rui. Now that he is valued by the emperor, what glory do you think he will give us? It is good that he does not retaliate against us!"
Tao Li's heart panicked when he heard what he said about Tao Rui.
Tao Qian approached her again and scolded: "If you didn't ignore him, how could you not even know about him, both civil and military? You talked about his absurd things in front of me all day, and you don't allow me to discipline him. You only beat and scolded him every time. It's up. You are really vicious, how could I marry you such a venomous woman?!"
"You! I'm all for this family!" Tao Li gritted his teeth in time and didn't express his grievances. After marrying her husband, she still depends on this man and can't fall out with him.
Tao Li turned to the beginning and quickly clarified his thoughts, "How Tao Rui is not our business, it is his own destiny. But I am sure that Bin'er is the lucky star of our family. This kind of thing is mysterious and mysterious. People and family must be in harmony to achieve each other, otherwise why Tao Rui only brought us a ridicule when he was in the mansion, without bringing any glory?
Because he is not in harmony with our family, only Bin'er can revive the Hou Mansion. Believe me, this time, Bin'er will pass the Juren Examination, then pass the Jinshi examination, and pass the No. 1 scholar. He has always had a good reputation before. Tao Rui was able to show off recently, but it was because Bin'er was blocked by us and injured by you. "
The last sentence has vaguely condemned, but Tao Qian is indeed regretful at this time. Lesson learned, how could he hurt Tao Bin? As a result, Tao Bin could not go out. That Tao Rui didn't know what to say to others outside, and 80% of them had already ruined Tao Bin's reputation.
It's no use investigating the past at this time. Tao Qian is too lazy to quarrel with Tao Li's footsteps. He relieved Tao Li's forbidden foot and told her to take good care of Tao Bin, so that Tao Bin can heal her injuries as soon as possible and study hard. Overcome Tao Rui and restore dignity.
Tao Qian has several children. He likes Tao Bin, but he doesn't like Tao Li. So now he is more embarrassed by mistakenly treating pearls as the purpose of a fish, and he can imagine how the outside world would laugh at him.
Therefore, he urgently needs Tao Bin to surpass Tao Rui, prove that he is right, and restore his dignity.
This was also Tao Bin's wish. He couldn't believe what he heard. He felt that he was not the eldest brother in his mind at all. He also has a strong sense of shame, Tao Rui is both civil and military, and even the emperor appreciates it. Did Tao Rui watch his jokes every time he was complacent in the past?
He has been better than Tao Rui since he was a child, and he couldn't tolerate Tao Rui's concealment.
He was still thinking about Qin Ruo, but now he has forgotten the people directly. He has invited a famous teacher to come to his home to give advice, read daily, learn to write poetry and make essays, and concentrate on looking forward to a shame in the autumn season.
He also needs this opportunity to return to the circle. His father's title has been lowered, and he has not become a world son. There is still speculation that he and Qin Ruo have a relationship, and now there are no people willing to befriend him. Everything he worked so hard to manage is about to be ruined, he can't allow this to happen, he must turn things around.
All of them have regarded Tao Rui as their worst enemy, but Tao Rui actually...has already put them in the ranks of passers-by.
In Tao Rui's view, their story has been turned over, and they are not such powerful characters, so why bother?
In the life of the original owner, Tao Bin and Qin Ruo would grow up. Many times it was the original owner's troubles that gave them a chance to grow, and even the original owner's badness set off their good. But now, they seem to have encountered a huge problem in the seedling stage, and it is not certain whether they can grow up.
In the memory of the original owner's life, the most useful thing is the prince's seizure of the prince. The participating prince and the influence of the prince can give Tao Rui a reference and let him know how to avoid it cleverly and don't step on thunder.
But now there is no prince to recruit him. He studies behind closed doors and does not associate with others. These things are still far away from him. He just needs to prepare for the exams now, and the exams will be coming soon, and there is not much time left for him.
The most lively thing around him was that his household registration was moved to the Tao family's household. They became a family in the true sense, and they invited Qi Lang and Fu Yun over to have a good time together. It can also be considered to formally introduce his friends and family to each other, so that the Tao family can gradually adapt to the new life from the process of getting along with his friends.
The Tao family has settled everything in Xishan Village and officially moved to the capital. Someone in the family is studying for the imperial examination, which is very new to them. On weekdays, they put their hands and feet gently and tried not to make any movement, for fear of disturbing Tao Rui. Xiuniang and Fuxi also thought of the method to make good food to replenish Tao Rui's body.
Tao Rui's body is better than anyone else, but he enjoys this kind of family care very much. He adds a little spring water to the water every day. The skin of the whole family has improved with the naked eye, and the body feels much better.
However, because they live in the capital, it is a thousand times more comfortable than in the village, it is not strange to have such a change. Even this has become a proof of Tao Rui's blessing. Many neighbors saw it and said that the Tao family and Tao Rui have improved in all aspects. What is this not a blessing?
Of course, the Tao family were not idle, Tao Rui bought them a large store with two floors. Now the store is being renovated, and they have to check it out every day, and then run all over the capital to find out where to buy the goods. They are very busy.
The Tao family has a positive atmosphere as a whole. Tao Jin and Xiuniang are also very good people. Qi Lang and Fu Yun especially love coming to the Tao family. They didn't bother Tao Rui studying, of course, they saw something to help, and they got acquainted with the Tao family very quickly.
Sometimes Tao Rui eats with them, and he wonders if he really has any blessings in this world?
It is really the most comfortable state of life to have caring family members, friends who have invested in the bond, partners side by side, and perhaps a lovely fan. Whatever you do becomes a lot more interesting.
The future will not be boring even if we are overwhelmed by obstacles.
The study time passed so fast, and it was the day of the exam in a flash. Tao Rui met Tao Bin at the gate of Gongyuan, and his gaze flicked across Tao Bin, as if he was no different from other passers-by.
Tao Bin clenched his fist quietly, and his thoughts about surpassing Tao Rui surpassed everything.
