Chronicles of Ancient Life

Chapter 36

"Sir, go slowly!" The students in long robes and green shirts all stood up and bid farewell to Mr.It's time to leave school.

Qin Jiaze tidily arranged the books on the table and put them in the book bag.Stretching out his hands to rub his dizzy head, he was too tired from staying up late these days, and his body couldn't stand it anymore.One side of his face saw Bai Zifang next to him, still lying on the table motionless.

"Hey, Xiaobai woke up, did he really fall asleep?" Qin Jiaze gently pushed Bai Zifang's shoulder, but there was no response.Qin Jiaze scratched the back of his neck, not believing that he was still awake.

"Ah, who is it? I want a beating!" Bai Zifang fell asleep just right, but was woken up by someone scratching her neck, and shouted irritably, with a backhand slap.

Qin Jiaze dodged the beating hand, "Don't sleep, Xiaobai. What are you doing? Sleeping in class, and you are not afraid of being punished by the teacher for copying books. Now who doesn't sleep in the middle of the night and wakes up in the middle of the night, staying up all day and night to prepare for the provincial exam , you are still in the mood to sleep." As he spoke, he patted Bai Zifang's back with his book.

Bai Zifang tilted his head and looked at Qin Jiaze with a gloomy expression, "Ah Ze, why don't you let me sleep, sir is not here." After speaking, he lay lazily on the table, looking listless.

"Okay, okay. Still dreaming, everyone is gone, school is over. If you don't go away, you plan to sleep here tonight! What's wrong with you recently, you always look listless, just tell me if you have something to do Come out. Don't hold back, maybe I can give you some advice." Qin Jiaze pulled Bai Zifang up from the seat, put away the books for him, and dragged him out.

On the grassy slope of the back mountain, Bai Zifang sat on the ground without being too dirty, grabbing the weeds around her as if venting, and in a blink of an eye a large area of ​​flowers and plants were brutally murdered.

Qin Jiaze came over with two bottles, knelt down and handed one to Bai Zifang. "Don't waste innocent flowers and plants. Drink it! After drinking it, what happened?"

Bai Zifang didn't even look at the bottle, and took a long gulp, "Ahem, is this wine? Where did you get the wine? Oh, it doesn't matter where it comes from, as long as you drink it."

"Gudong, Gudong." Bai Zifang drank half of the bottle in one gulp, then held the bottle, moved his butt, and leaned against a rock.Breathing out the smell of alcohol, he squinted his eyes and said, "My uncle, huh? No."

Bai Zifang pointed at Qin Jiaze with a finger and said, "He, he is my father. You have heard of it too. Dahu Bai, Boss Bai, surnamed Bai. For his own future, for money, the original spouse died not long ago, He adopted the eldest son to his brother who died young.

Zhuanlian'er married a lady from the official family, gave birth to a son, and became a Bai Dashan, with both fame and wealth, a virtuous wife and a filial son.Me, who am I?I am a nephew of the Bai family who lives under the fence, an outsider raised by a kind-hearted family who eats and drinks well.hehe!Do you think it's funny or not? "

Bai Zifang's face was blushing, his eyes were astonishingly bright, like a volcano about to erupt.

Qin Jiaze heard Bai Zifang talk about family affairs for the first time, and he knew that he was not doing well at home and was at odds with his family.But I don't know that there is such an inside story in it.The ancients valued the eldest son very much, even the adopted children would not choose the eldest son.What Bai Zifang's father did was really ruthless, brutal, and shameless.

Bai Zifang continued, "He told me that when I grow up, I can start a family. Arrange a marriage for me. After we get married, give me some money so that I can leave the Bai family and start my own family.

hehe.Don't you just want me to fuck off?I have been an eyesore to him for so many years, he finally couldn't stand it anymore and asked me to make room for his later son.Aze, tell me, is he a bastard? "

Qin Jiaze helped Bai Zifang, who was lying on the side, to sit still.Received, "Yes, yes, he is a bastard, a big bastard."

"Woooo. He's sorry for my mother, but luckily my mother died early. Otherwise, he might have divorced me and been ridiculed by others. But my mother died early, and my parents took money from the surname Bai, yes I ignored it and let him adopt me to my uncle as his son.

Mother has been gone for so many years, and I, a son, can't worship her properly as a son.I'm sorry for him!

I always thought that I would be successful in the future, so I threw a lot of money in front of him to make him regret it, and let him understand that his future is earned by himself, not by marriage.But now I know how much weight I have, and I can't even pass the exam.I'm really worthless, useless! "Bai Zifang couldn't help crying.

Qin Jiaze didn't know how to comfort him, if this matter was on him.Qin Jiaze must think of a way to kill that so-called father. Taking revenge and making him live is not happy. Take away what he values ​​and let him cry.But the premise of all this is that you have the ability and status to take revenge and not hurt yourself.

But as Xiaobai himself said, what should you do if you don't have the ability?Then Qin Jiaze must try his best to obtain the family property he deserves, and live a comfortable life, at least better than his scumbag father.Don't let the scumbag affect the rest of my life, no matter how much resentment I have, it's not worth paying for my whole life.

But for a young man like Bai Zifang, all of this might be difficult to get over the hurdle in his heart.Bai Zifang was full of resentment, but he didn't have the ability to retaliate.I can only torture myself in my heart!

Qin Jiaze didn't know how to comfort the poor boy, and it felt a little better to let him vent his anger by crying.Qin Jiaze stroked the back of the crying and belching Bai Zifang.

"Crack!" Bai Zifang suddenly stopped talking, and the bottle in his hand hit the stone with a crisp sound.The whole person also fell to one side, Qin Jiaze hurriedly grabbed him, turned his face to see, this guy actually fell asleep with his eyes closed!

Qin Jiaze looked at the broken bottle and was speechless.This is a lot of effort, the alcohol capacity is really bad.The wine in the bottle was brewed by Qin Jiaze himself, a slightly stronger wine, with just such a small bottle, Bai Zifang unexpectedly passed out.

Hey, it doesn't matter if you're drunk, take a good night's sleep and calm down.A drunk solution to a thousand worries ah!Qin Jiaze pulled the limp man off the ground and threw it onto his back.Drunk people are really heavy, hurry up and carry them back, this place is still far from the dormitory!Hey!

By the time he carried him back to the house, Qin Jiaze was already exhausted!After tidying up hastily, he stuffed him on the bed, covered him with a quilt, and let him fall asleep.Fortunately, this wine tastes good, and he doesn't play tricks or vomit.It would be a disaster if the husband found out!Well, next time I can't bring alcohol to the academy!

It was getting dark, Qin Jiaze hastily changed out of his wrinkled clothes, and went to buy dinner.It's past dinner time, so I can only spend money to ask the cook to start a small stove.

After dinner, Qin Jiaze put aside the food left for Bai Zifang.There are only the two of them living in this dormitory, and they are not afraid of disturbing others.Qin Jiaze lit candles and incense, sat down at the table and continued to fight all night long.

It is really uncomfortable to read a vertically formatted book without punctuation.No wonder the ancients paid so much attention to sentence punctuation. When reading, you must "read the sentence clearly".Qin Jiaze took notes while reading, this is still a habit in his previous life.

Time flies so fast, another three years in a flash.There have been some changes in the Qin family in the past three years. Qin Jiaze and his son are still in Yushan Academy, one is teaching and the other is studying.Father Lin Zijun is still running around in and out of the city.The twin brothers were taken to Haicheng by Qin Jingye, and stayed by his side to teach them personally, and only came back for reunion every New Year's Eve.

Yingyu also took his younger brother Yingjie to Haicheng to start his career.Moreover, the little prince Yingjie and the twin brothers study together and become classmates and friends.Qin Jiaze and Yingyu still keep in touch by letter.

This year is the year of the township examination again, Qin Jiaze is preparing to pass, although he is not sure, but he has to try his best, even if he fails to gain experience.

The weather is getting hotter in the summer, and there are only two months left for the home test.Qin Jiaze also put on the posture of the college entrance examination in his previous life, preparing for this rural examination.Get up early and go to bed late every day, light up the lights and fight at night, and practice the exam questions from previous years.

In the dead of night, insects chirped in summer, and the academy was built on the mountain, so the sound was even more loud.Qin Jiaze raised his hand to look at his 'watch', it was time for bed late at night.Bai Zifang had been sleeping soundly, and never woke up halfway.Qin Jiaze also went to bed to rest after washing up, and had to get up early tomorrow to recite the book.

"Ah! I'm a little dizzy. Aze, what time is it? Is it time for class?" Bai Zifang got up, covering her head, but no one in the room answered. "Did you oversleep? Ze, why didn't you wake me up?" Bai Zifang clapped his hands, jumped off the bed in a hurry, put on his clothes in a panic, and was about to go out.

Qin Jiaze came back from reading in the morning, and as soon as he opened the door to come in, he saw a panicked Bai Zifang, who was about to go out without putting on his shoes. "Xiaobai, you've finally woken up, what are you panicking about? I brought you breakfast, hurry up and wash up, and come over to eat."

"I'm not late, that's good." Bai Zifang let out a sigh of relief, and sat back on the bed. "Aze, what time is it now? You brought me breakfast, I'll eat it later, I'm really hungry. Wait a minute, I'll wash my face first."

"Eat slowly, don't worry, you don't have to go to this morning's class. Mr. Wang has a cold, so he left a topic for us to write a policy discussion, and we will comment after he recovers." Qin Jiaze said to Bai Zifang who was eating big.

Bai Zifang ate the last bite of steamed stuffed bun, threw the greased paper away, wiped his mouth and said, "Ah, is that right? I didn't hear it yesterday, but luckily you're here." After speaking, he smiled flatteringly at Qin Jiaze.

This smile seemed to return to his usual cynical look.Qin Jiaze kicked the stool that Bai Zifang was sitting on, couldn't help but cast a supercilious look at him, and said, "What are you pretending to be, you don't feel tired! Your head doesn't hurt anymore. I don't know whoever was down after drinking half a bottle of wine yesterday." who is it?"

When Bai Zifang was asked this question, his shoulders collapsed in an instant, he put away his smile, and whispered with his mouth flattened, "I was drunk yesterday, did I talk about everything? Ah, it's good to say it. It's my uncle. , Notified me a while ago. He was going to arrange a marriage for me, send some money along the way, and then kick me out. I had a big fight with him and tore my face. Hehe, that's how it is!"

Seeing his expression, Qin Jiaze sighed helplessly, thinking that the Bai family was really a bad debt, "Don't say anything else, just say what are your plans? Won't you go back to the Bai family?"

Bai Zifang leaned on the chair, looked up at the roof, his expression could not be seen clearly, and said softly, "I don't want to go back to Bai's house, but where can I go? Don't worry about my uncle's house. I don’t even know if it’s sold.”

Qin Jiaze has convinced this big-hearted person, "I said, have you been thinking about fighting with your father for more than ten years? It's your uncle. Are you stupid? What your uncle cares about most is nothing but the future And Yinzi, your kid-like vindictiveness, in the eyes of this mall veteran, is just like a kid playing around, and he doesn't pay attention to it at all.

Have you ever planned for the future?If you want to take revenge, how can you take revenge on him?Do you have money?right?I think you not only have no money and no power, but also lack of understanding.What did you have on you when you came out of Bai's house? "

After Qin Jiaze asked a series of questions, he seemed to hate iron for being weak.But with this kind of rough-hearted and resilient temperament, Bai Zifang's life can go on, and he didn't grow into a troubled boy with dark psychology, which seems to be not bad.

Bai Zifang blinked after hearing this, and said with an expression that I am not stupid, "I brought the money out, and I have all the money I have saved over the years with me. It is about 800 taels..."

Qin Jiaze thought in his heart, it's a good thing this kid is not so stupid that he doesn't even want money, he squeezed his brows and continued, "Seven to eight hundred taels of silver, ordinary people can live their lives without worrying about food and drink. But this little money is even decent in Dingyang City." Can't even afford a house? It's impossible to live the same life as in the Bai family in the future. Forget it, tell me first whether you have made up your mind to leave the Bai family and start your own business. "

Bai Zifang didn't evade, and said sternly, "It's a matter of time, after all, I am the son of the eldest son of the Bai family in the genealogy, and I am not entitled to share the property of the second wife of the Bai family. But I don't want any, and I am not reconciled to it." Everything in the second bedroom of the Bai family should belong to me. Although I don't care about his money, I won't push what I deserve.

I just don't know how much my uncle is willing to give?And my marriage, I can't let him make a deal, who knows who will arrange it?I originally wanted to share some property with my uncle's family.I am now studying for imperial examinations and eating, but I have to pay for money, and I have to have a place to stay.I haven't figured out how to do it yet. "

After hearing this, Qin Jiaze felt that this guy still had a plan in his mind, so he thought for a while and said, "Listen to you, your uncle's family is not easy to get along with. You should leave the Bai family and be attached to the uncle's family. If you If it is divided, it is best to divide it into several shops. Even if you don’t do business, you can rent it out, and the annual rent is still an income, so you won’t be sitting on nothing.”

Bai Zifang also nodded and said, "I know. My uncle's family is indeed a problem. It's fine if I don't rely on them. It's just that I can get less things by myself. It's okay, if I get too much, my aunt and cousin will probably lose money." refused to agree.

Now that I have torn my face, next time Xiu Mu goes back, I will open up with my uncle and explain clearly.Get out of Bai's house early and make a deal.From now on, he and I will be just uncles and nephews, and my father will be in that ranking... I will also bring out my mother's spiritual position! "

"It's good if you can think about it. When necessary, you can also use my name. Cough cough, I can be regarded as a person of status. Haha!" Qin Jiaze deliberately made Bai Zifang feel more relaxed, and didn't mind Nabo Use the name of Young Master Fu.

The Bai family has heard from their uncle that it is not considered a top business in Dingyang.The head of the family, Bai Pingyue, started from scratch. He is indeed ambitious and resourceful, and knows how to make money. He may have a lot to do in the future.His wife seems to be a magistrate concubine, and she looks mediocre, otherwise she wouldn't marry a businessman as his successor.Of course, Bai Pingyue's efforts were also involved.

Thinking of this, Qin Jiaze also felt relieved, as long as he didn't cause trouble for his family.Your own name is also worth a few dollars, and you can use it when you need it.

Bai Zifang knew that Qin Jiaze never regarded himself as the young master of the uncle's house, and he was cautious in his words and deeds on weekdays, and never got into trouble with right and wrong.Now he is willing to let himself act in his identity, which is an unexpected exception.Bai Zifang was very moved, but she couldn't say any words of thanks.

Qin Jiaze came back to his senses, and when he raised his eyes, he saw the expression of gratitude on the face of the person opposite.He stretched out his hand and patted him on the shoulder and said, "Between friends, there is no need to say words of gratitude. Alright. The most important thing right now is the township examination in August, which is only two months away. Try your best and give it a go. It may not be impossible." Zhongju. Once you have fame, you will naturally have status.

The biggest benefit of being adopted is that you can take part in the imperial examination.If you are still a merchant, you are not eligible to take the imperial examination at all.I really don't understand what your uncle Bai Pingyue is thinking. At this moment, he wants...to let you go. "

Bai Zifang was also a little puzzled. With his uncle's calculating temperament, how could he suddenly let himself leave the Bai family.Even before the imperial examination, didn't he look down on Juren's status?It shouldn't be, if you can't figure it out, don't think about it.Aze said yes, he had to try his best for the township examination, and he had to pull himself together.

Bai Zifang reached out to bump Qin Jiaze's fist, and said with a smile, "Ah Ze, good brother. You are right, I won't be muddled anymore, let's work hard together. By the way, I have to thank you for the wine yesterday. I, a drunk, have come back. Haha, I didn't expect that I can drink so badly, I haven't drank like this before. You can try again next time!"

Qin Jiaze withdrew his hand. Hearing what he said, he glared and said, "With your drinking capacity, you still say next time, don't let me drag you back! Do you remember the smell of yesterday's wine?"

Bai Zifang raised her head and thought about it, but she really didn't remember, she drank too fast. "Ah. Ze, let me try it again. The wine is different from the usual wine! What kind of wine is it?"

Qin Jiaze tidied up the books and notes on the table, and said without turning his head, "It's my own brewed wine, and the taste is not bad. These two bottles of wine are relatively strong, and I brought them to drink before going to bed to help sleep. I can't sleep well all the time.

If you are interested, next time you go home, I will give you a jar made from wild mountain grapes. The color and taste are better than this one, and the wine is less strong. It is for Dad and younger brothers to drink. "

Bai Zifang rubbed her chin, thought for a long time and said, "This wine tastes very good and the color is very good. If you sell it, the price must be good."

Qin Jiaze heard this, and threw a book over, "Don't think about it all day long, just read it for me. If you want to earn money, I have an idea. But after the provincial examination, I will tell you, you should prepare for me obediently now." The exam is fine. You are fine, then I will write Mr. Wang's policy theory, and you should hurry up, I'm leaving!" After speaking, holding the book in his hand, he opened the door and went out.

"Hey, Aze. How could you do this? Isn't this tempting? Hey, hey! You run so fast, book, book... here I come!" Bai Zifang also swayed to her desk and flipped through Publish a policy theory and start reading.
