After autumn, the weather gets colder and colder every day.
Huang Haoyi tightened his clothes and pushed the door open and walked into an old house.
Inside, Guo Lin was writing at his desk. When he saw Huang Haoyi, he stood up and said, "Silang, I'd like to thank you for your kindness."
Huang Haoyi smiled and said: "My brother, why are you so polite? You are so cold."
After speaking, Huang Haoyi put down the book and said, "This is the lecture notes on Confucian classics in the Imperial College. You take them and copy them. I will return them in a few days."
Guo Lin smiled and said: "Thank you, Shiro. Please wait for a while. We will go out to eat later."
Huang Haoyi smiled and said, "No need to go to such trouble."
Huang Haoyi sat down and rubbed his hands and said: "Senior Brother Guo, don't talk to me. I just admire your hard work in mechanics. Bianjing is too big, and there are many dandies in Taixue. I'm looking for a place to study quietly. . If you don’t mind, let’s be friends together and you won’t have to spend any money.”
Guo Lin was very happy and said: "Since Shiro will not give up, Guo is really honored. Wait a moment. There are some food and wine left over from Sanro's last visit. I'll heat them up. Let's finish reading with a full stomach."
Huang Haoyi also opened the book.
It has been four years since he arrived in Bianjing. Many of his classmates have been admitted to Jinshi, but he still stays in Taixue.
After Zhang Yue was admitted to the third class of formal education, Huang Haoyi knew that he was getting further and further away from Zhang Yue. He knew that he might not be able to catch up with Zhang Yue even a little bit in his lifetime. Now that he was trying hard to catch up, he could only catch up with Guo Lin.
Huang Haoyi had a vague idea that if he didn't catch Guo Lin, he and Zhang Yue would never have any intersection in the future.
Although Zhang Qiu was in the Imperial College with him, although he was young, he was strict in everything he did. He only had ordinary friends and did not interact with him.
One day Huang Haoyi accidentally learned that Guo Lin was not doing well now. Therefore, he often comes to help Guo Lin, not only remembering the old friendship, but also because helping others is helping himself.
However, Huang Haoyi expressed his concern for Guo Lin and tried his best to help him, but he had other thoughts.
Huang Haoyi thought of this and continued reading. Soon, Guo Lin prepared the meal. The two of them were worried that the food and wine would stain the books, so they didn't put it on the table, and each held a bowl and started eating.
Although the house is old and the autumn wind is cold, Huang Haoyi feels that the food is particularly delicious. He suddenly said: "Senior Brother Guo, am I going to get married?"
Guo Lin was stunned and said: "It's a good thing, when?"
Huang Haoyi said a little embarrassedly: "It will be done after the New Year. My brother and sister-in-law arranged the marriage for me."
"Okay, what kind of woman is she? I think IKEA and Yishi are good."
Huang Haoyi had seen that woman. She was far less beautiful than Yulian. Although her family background was mediocre, she was far inferior to the women from official families he had met in the past. And to be honest, no woman has ever given up in Huang Haoyi's heart, but now she has to let go first.
Huang Haoyi said: "She is a woman from a poor scholar's family. She is very knowledgeable and sensible."
"That's good. It seems that my mother-in-law doesn't know a single Chinese character. Although she is gentle and virtuous, she always has some regrets."
Huang Haoyi nodded when he heard this. The woman's family was satisfied with Huang Haoyi. The two families were now engaged, and Huang Haoyi was tired of wasting time, so he decided to work hard to find a better background to bring happiness to his future wife.
"I wonder if I can ask Senior Brother Guo to help me talk to Du about this matter."
"You are familiar with Duzhi, why don't you tell me."
Huang Haoyi said with a slight embarrassment: "It's okay for me to say it, but Du Zhi has just released his marriage and is planning his own marriage. I'm afraid that the noble man is too busy. Now I'm afraid that I won't be able to invite him because of my face, so I hope that Senior Brother Guo can help me." ."
Guo Lin was stunned.
Huang Haoyi said: "I once lived with Du Zhi from the same hometown, and we were classmates for three years, but our friendship is not as deep as yours. In fact, who am I and who am I Du Zhi? If I say I am a classmate, I am okay, but if I say I am a friend, I will be much higher." Getting acquainted is like opening a door or pushing a window. You are wrong if you think I am asking for help in the future."
"I'm a piece of mud and can't hold up the wall, but it's enough to have a relationship with him and see what's going on."
Guo Lin thought for a while and said, "Silang didn't expect you to say that, I'm not as good as you."
Huang Haoyi smiled and said, "I'm not as good as you."
"Why do you say that?"
Huang Haoyi said: "You are in such a dilemma now, and you don't even ask me to help you. It would be difficult for me to change positions with you. Friends are the best and most difficult. There is no help in vain, friends. The same is true for time, I'm afraid there is a gap in my heart, and depending on people's faces in the future, it will be difficult to get along with each other like before."
…
Zhang Yue is indeed busy planning his own marriage.
That day Zhang Yue walked out of the street, went to a restaurant, and sat in a private seat on the second floor.
The weather was a little cold, so he wanted some wine to warm himself up.
While the bartender was screening the wine for him, Zhang Yue suddenly saw a man walking down the street in a daze, followed by several guards. Zhang Yue didn't pay much attention at first, but upon closer inspection he turned out to be Wang Kui, an old acquaintance.
Zhang Yue heard about Wang Kui. After he failed in the imperial examination, he also broke off his engagement with the rich family for some unknown reason. Of course, he was the one whose engagement was annulled, but unlike the male protagonist of the online novel, Wang Kui plummeted after his engagement was annulled.
First, there were rumors that he colluded with the eunuch of the Royal Medicine Supervisor to cheat during the palace examination. This matter involved the royal family, but it was eventually covered up.
However, several women from Kaifeng Mansion sued Wang Kui and eventually abandoned him.
Zhang Yue originally thought that only one person was abandoned by Wang Kui in the beginning, but he did not expect that the truth was far more than he imagined.
He heard from others that Wang Kui was polite, courteous, and elegant, and had the aura of a scholar. But when he meets a woman, he immediately puts down his posture and talks sweetly.
Other women admired his talent and saw that he was willing to let go of his self-esteem and even be a little immodest. At the same time, they sympathized with his experience of coming from a poor family and studying hard, so they all fell into his trap.
Zhang Yue was stunned when he heard that Wang Kui was like this. Even if Wang Kui was like this, he would also ruin the reputation of the Han family's children.
Wang Kui used this method to deceive several women in Beijing, and he gained both wealth and sex.
Wang Kui didn't think there was anything wrong. He argued in Kaifeng Mansion that these women were in love with each other.
The emperor was furious when he heard this and demoted Wang Kui to Lingnan as a small county to join the army. If the Song Dynasty had not killed civil servants, Wang Kui would have moved his head long ago.
However, Wang Kui fell seriously ill due to the breakup of his engagement by a wealthy family, and was a little confused, so he asked the emperor to give him some grace before taking up his post.
The emperor thought that Wang Kui didn't want to go, so he ordered the Kaifeng Mansion to torture Wang Kui. When Wang Kui was ill, he was tortured for three days by the guards of Kaifeng Mansion, and almost half of his life was lost.
Now that his illness has improved, he was forcibly sent to Lingnan.
Zhang Yue saw that Wang Kui was a little confused, and he never thought that Wang Kui would be like this.
I remember that before the palace examination, Wang Kui had slandered him. At that time, the other party was considered to be charming and suave. Now Wang Kui said that he would go to Lingnan to serve as an official, but in fact it was no different than being taken to Lingnan and imprisoned.
Not many people he knew at the beginning came to see him off, which showed that Wang Kui's situation was extremely miserable. There is no doubt that with his sick body, he would die halfway.
