To be fair, Jiang Chengfeng is a very good protector.
With the Jiang family as his talisman, he is fearless against any family.
His character is so promiscuous that he dares to hit anyone except women, and even pick fights are not a problem.
Even if something like Gong happens, it can be solved in a corner without any fuss.
Xu Mo thought he couldn't do it.
Whether due to his origin or his parents' upbringing, he has completely different personalities from the two brothers from the Jiang family.
He is straight, hard, and indomitable.
The Jiang brothers are smooth, wanton, and unrestrained.
In the past, Xu Mo admired this kind of spirit that would rather break than bend. It was this spirit that supported him from Xieyang County to Fengjing.
However, when his examination results were changed and the Fang family made things difficult for him, especially when he was kidnapped to a brothel, he felt that some of his cognition had been subverted.
No matter how strong a person is, he will always be at a loss in front of a soft knife.
Just like Fang Heng back then, when facing his once-close cousin, he knelt down and begged, and then started scolding her loudly. Only by traveling far away to the border could the situation be smoothed over.
It's like the brothel girl blocking the road and getting entangled. Without Jiang Chengfeng, Xu Mo really didn't know how to avoid it.
But Jiang Chengfeng can only help him for half a year. After half a year, the examination will be over. He has to walk his own life and make his own path.
Vaguely, Xu Mo realized that this kind of strength in him might not be suitable for Fengjing, not suitable for officialdom, not suitable for the court, and not suitable for the intrigues in the family.
It is as clean as green bamboo. Although it cannot be blown down by wind or knocked aside by rain, if you pour two handfuls of soil and fertilizer on it, the bamboo will always rot from the roots.
And who is willing to rot away?
Xu Mo looked ahead absentmindedly, as if he saw his father's straight and unyielding back, and also seemed to see Dou Shangshu's relaxed smile, as well as a similar smile that would be on the faces of all officials.
"If you want to get along well, you need to be tactful." Jiang Chengfeng shook his head beside him.
A few careless words, but they cleared away the clouds.
Xu Mo paused slightly, his eyes burning, "Brother Jiang said this well, may I ask who said it?"
Jiang Chengfeng was stunned, "It's my dad. My dad taught me and my eldest brother this way when we were very young. He also asked us to listen more, watch more, and know more. Families have cunning minds and all kinds of dirty tricks in their fights."
The ones Xu Mo experienced were nothing more than petty fights. In the past, there was a family that specially trained their daughters and sent them as concubines to major aristocratic families, murdering their legitimate sons and daughters, and then supporting their own children to rise to power.
More than ten years later, most of Fengjing's heirs are related to this family, and their status can be imagined.
Some families specialize in training their daughters to be stepchildren, raising their first legitimate son, and then giving birth to a Lin'er. Not only will they be respected and favored, but their natal family will also follow the trend.
"You are the only one who doesn't know anything in this world, and there is nothing unexpected." Jiang Chengfeng concluded, "Brother Xu, you are smart and upright, but you have too little knowledge. If the Fang family dares to carry me to a brothel, I will have to ask them to send the oiran away Give me."
"Otherwise, you can go to the brothel with me today so that you can adapt to situations like this in the future."
Xu Mo almost choked to death on his saliva.
He really wanted to be at ease and learn the unruly methods of the Jiang brothers, but it was better to just go to a brothel. As the eldest brother, he couldn't lead his younger brothers and sisters into bad ways.
"Go home first." Xu Mo said warmly and got into the carriage.
As the wheel moves forward, the Imperial College and the autumn wind are left behind.
The thoughtful young man, in the year he arrived in Fengjing, took the first smooth step in order to overthrow Zhu Zhi by learning to make friends and win over the officials' children.
Now, he has been educated by the Fang family and listened to the Jiang family's advice, and he has discovered the true meaning.
As time goes by, the crisp young bamboo will sooner or later grow into a real green bamboo. It can bend when the wind is strong and stand up when there is no wind. It can bend softly or stand proudly.
Just like the four characters written down by Wenchang Pavilion - Young Master Qingzhu.
As the wheel of the car came to a stop, the second entrance to the small courtyard came into view.
Xu Mo slowly stepped off the carriage, turned around and handed over his hands, "Thank you Brother Jiang for these days. Our teaching should also be put on the agenda. Xu Mo does not dare to guarantee that Brother Jiang will win the exam, but he will definitely tell everything he knows and devote his whole life to it." study."
He was still the same as before, standing upright and still.
But it’s different from before, I can’t tell where it is.
Jiang Chengfeng handed over his hand, "Okay, then I'll trouble Brother Xu."
The carriage moved away again, and the door of the small courtyard was opened, revealing a round face.
"Big brother is back." Jiang Sheng was very excited, "You didn't make things difficult for me today, you didn't suffer a loss."
Look, even his sister is worried about him.
Although he is the elder brother, his younger brothers and sisters are worried about him and have to rack their brains to save him.
It really shouldn’t be.
Xu Mo smiled lightly and stroked her black hair, "Don't worry, it won't happen anymore."
He will no longer allow the Fang family to plot, he will no longer be blindly upright, and he will no longer avoid all the unpleasant and unspeakable things.
But ask if his heart is the same as before.
There is no doubt about the answer.
People's behavior will change, their cognition will change, and their thoughts will change, but the good in their hearts can never turn into evil, or even be tilted.
The next few months.
Xu Mozhen taught Jiang Chengfeng, and he also learned from him the unique unruliness of the children of the aristocratic family. They learned from each other, protected each other, and helped each other, and they also formed a certain friendship.
The Fang family failed a few times and never found trouble with them again.
Even Jiang Chengfeng thought that the Fang family was in trouble, but Xu Mo was still on guard.
When the autumn wind turned into a cold wind and biting ice and snow enveloped the earth, he found Wen Zhiyun who was studying medical books.
"Fourth brother, I need your help." Xu Mo said in a deep voice, "I want to get sick."
Wen Zhiyun stood up blankly, realizing later that his suggestion had been adopted.
"Brother, aren't you the most reluctant to commit fraud?" Chang Yan was so shocked that the wood fell off, "You also have to put makeup on your face, do you really accept it?"
why not?
Xu Mo smiled and said, "The Fang family will not let me go. Instead of waiting for them to take action, and we try our best to prevent them, we might as well lower their vigilance directly. It's just makeup and pretending to be sick."
A man is capable of bending and stretching.
Back then, my father was slandered because he was too upright, so he chose to kill himself and use his death to prove his innocence.
But what's the use? Zhu Zhi still took the position of county magistrate. The people of Xieyang County were miserable, and his only son narrowly escaped death, with both legs broken.
Little Xu Mo was accustomed to admiring his father, admiring his personality, admiring his integrity, and admiring his coolness.
Now he still admires his father, but he does not want to be like his father, a green bamboo that is upright but easy to break.
"Come on, Xiaosi." He stretched out his hand, seriously and calmly, "Make me sick, let me be a sickly young man in the eyes of everyone."
Maybe you can also feel how Brother Fufeng has come through these years.
