Quan Jin owns a carriage, which is not luxurious but very comfortable. Zhu Zhanji gave him a carriage!
This is a very high treatment, so when Zhu Zhanji did not allow him to participate in the students' party, he still went out quietly.
The carriage was driving in the wide street. Quan Jin in the car was thinner. He was reading and wearing a pair of reading glasses.
Following Zhu Zhanji to Jinling, Quan Jin has actually left the center of power.
Most of the outside world can't understand his current behavior and feel a little silly.
He is old, so he can't accompany Zhu Zhanji for long. He just waits for the time to beg for bones and return to his hometown.
So those people thought he was fooling around!
The carriage went all the way to the outside of a big house. When the porter saw it, he came out to help Quan Jin get off.
Quan Jin moved his hands and feet, refused the kindness of the porter to help him in, and slowly entered the big house.
The house is very big, but there is no merchant's luxury and copper smell.
After passing the front hall, there is a path in front of you, surrounded by bamboo forests.
The breeze blew through the bamboo forest, and the rustling sound made Quan Jin feel relaxed and happy.
More than 20 steps ahead and turn left is a small pond.
At this time, more than ten people sat on the ground at the edge of the small pond. After seeing Quan Jin, a young man got up and welcomed him. He arched his hands and said, "Duke Quan hasn't come for a long time. The students can't look forward to it for a long time, but they don't dare to visit his highness. They are terrified."
The owner of the mansion is Xu lie, and this young man is Xu Dang, Xu lie's son.
"I've seen Quan Gong."
These are all scholars. They were talking about the article just now. At this time, Qi Qi bowed and Quan Jinfu Xu smiled and said, "you'll study hard and be famous in the future. I'm old and can see so many handsome people. After I return to the forest, I can boast with my children and grandchildren."
This is very modest. Xu lie smiled and said, "Duke Quan flattered us. We are just like-minded, and our fame is just floating clouds. The knowledge of the sages is a dream worthy of our generation's pursuit in our life."
Quan nodded approvingly. He is a bachelor. Although his position is not obvious, he is noble. Nodding is already a great compliment.
Then these young people began to recite their articles. Quan Jin also commented on them from time to time, and the atmosphere was harmonious.
"I'll change my clothes and come as soon as I go."
Quan Jin was old and peed a little more. He got up and went to the hut with the servant.
Spices are placed in the thatched cottage of the Xu family. As soon as they enter, there is a smelly smell mixed with a smell of spices. The two are mixed together, which makes Quan Jin feel nauseous.
The old people urinate thinly, which makes people sigh that they urinated ten feet in the wind, but now they urinate wet shoes in the wind.
After finishing, there are fragrant pancakes to wash their hands and dry towels to wipe their hands.
This is the same treatment as princes and nobles!
Quan Jin only feels a little uneasy. In his opinion, what class should enjoy the treatment of what class. Being too luxurious is self inflicted.
It is shady and cool here, which makes Quan Jin slow down. When he got to the bamboo forest, he saw a thin kitten get in and followed with pity.
The kitten was very clever. After looking back at him, he ran away. Quan Jin couldn't help laughing, and the servant who followed him also covered his mouth and smiled secretly. He felt that the old man was really childlike.
Quan Jin didn't want to turn around, so he went straight from the bamboo forest to the small pond.
The clear sky suddenly became gloomy, and then the light rain hit the bamboo forest.
Quan Jin's interest did not diminish and whispered, "don't listen to the sound of beating leaves in the forest. Why not sing and walk slowly. Bamboo sticks and sandals are lighter than horses? Who is afraid? A raindrop and a misty rain all his life..."
"What does the old man mean? Give me a recommendation! You can stand bothering us every day, but I can't stand it!"
Quan Jin's footsteps stopped and turned to look at the servant with cold eyes.
I'm a moral gentleman, but I'm not a fool!
The servant was stupid. He thought of a reminder, but he knew it would lead to a complete tear on his face. For a moment, he was at a loss.
"He's soliciting us for your highness! No, he wants us to speak well for your highness."
"Who can do anything that is not good? Besides, everyone is not comfortable with him, but he has to act like a sincere teacher, but his style has long been popular. If he is not afraid that he will go out and say a bad word, which will delay our imperial examination, who has the time to pay attention to him!"
"Yes! My father wants to make friends with him, but he doesn't pay attention at all. The old man is really old-fashioned and can't get any benefit from him."
"Let's continue drinking today? Hey hey!"
"Good! Drink, say more good words and make him drunk. He promised to lie in bed several times..."
"Well, it's almost time for him to come back. He hurried..."
The voice of discussing the article came again, and the servant's face was embarrassed and forced to smile.
Quan Jin nodded to him, then turned and left.
The servant wanted to go in and report the situation, but on second thought, he was afraid of being angry, so he sent Quan Jin out all the way.
When he returned again, the servant told him, "young master, Lord Quan said he was unwell. He went back first."
This is the mentality of avoiding risks, which everyone has.
And this mentality often leads to different results, for example
When Xu Dang heard the speech, he was relieved and said, "why didn't he say a word when he left?"
A young man said with a smile, "it's good to go! Anyway, we have earned our reputation. Even if we can't be admitted to the Jinshi, we will be famous in the south in the future. We've waited for such opportunities. What do we care about the rest?!"
"Yes! It's a good time! Let's be happy?"
"OK, put the wine and let someone sing..."
How many people can have the head hanging beam cone stabbing the stock?
All the families present are well off. Who has nothing to do to study like cooking oil?
So the banquet was placed on the edge of the pond, and several women danced and sang in front of them. For a time, they were happy.
Quan Jin, who returned to the big house, closed the door and didn't come out until dinner.
When the servant who served him knocked on the door, the old man opened the door, but his face was pale and his eyes were dull
……
"What's the matter, old man?"
Quan Jin is ill. Lying in bed, he looks like a dying man.
His chest fluctuated rapidly. After consulting his pulse, the imperial doctor said, "Lord Quan, this is... Depressed?"
Quan Jin didn't respond. His thin cheeks trembled slowly with his breath.
The imperial doctor asked, "Lord Quan, what's wrong with you?"
Quan Jin looked at the roof blankly and didn't speak. The imperial doctor smiled bitterly and said, "Lord Quan, if you don't speak, there's nothing you can do!"
Quan Jin's eyes moved slightly and said weakly, "I'm old."
Uh!
The imperial doctor had no choice but to go out and find Zhu Zhanji.
"Old?"
Zhu Zhanji felt a little unreliable: "at breakfast, he said he could walk around the yard ten times at a time. Why is it wrong to go out and come back?"
