Chapter 269: God’s Great Love

Qin Chi meets Dong Xingde.

So they went to the Hanlin Academy together.

When Qin Chi met other officials on their way to the government office, he greeted them one by one, and his main attitude was friendly and easy-going.

Last night, he heard the shocking news about Qin Chi's promotion. He was originally feeling jealous, but when he saw Qin Chi's calm and gentle smile, the jealousy suddenly subsided a little.

As the saying goes, don't hit a smiling person. There is a reason why this saying has been passed down to this day.

Qin Chi knows it better than anyone else.

From the moment he was promoted, he was the most conspicuous person in the eyes of the court officials. If he didn't handle things properly, he would become the target of public criticism.

Among the officials.

Mao Shaojie was also present, and said sarcastically: "Qin Zhuangyuan is so lucky, we are far inferior to him."

"It's better for you not to have my luck."

Qin Chi's words revealed helplessness.

Those who knew the situation were all stunned when they heard this.

The people present were officials, so they could naturally understand the hidden meaning.

People who didn't know the situation came over and asked, "Can you tell me more about this, Mr. Champion?"

"First of all, you have to escape death a few times. If you are lucky enough not to die, you will probably be as lucky as I am."

When Qin Chi said this, everyone was speechless.

It’s better not to have this luck.

Qin Chi looked towards the direction of the palace with gratitude in his eyes. "I am where I am today because your majesty saw that I was living a miserable life and felt sympathy for me, so he gave me some compensation and let me feel the great love and warmth of the world. Your majesty is a benevolent king and a role model for scholars like me."

"Yes, my king has a great love in his heart."

"Your Majesty is kind and virtuous."

This is followed by a string of words praising the emperor.

All I want to do is beep.

God’s great love and warmth.

This reminded everyone of the incident in which Qin Chi sued the Yuan family in front of the palace. Qin Chi did not say it explicitly, but smart people heard it clearly, and his promotion was related to this incident.

Dong Xingde followed a group of people.

He stared at Qin Chi's back as if he was staring a hole in it. After only knowing him for two days, he realized that this man was no ordinary man.

It seemed like just a few words just now.

In fact, he revealed the reason for his promotion, which greatly reduced everyone's dissatisfaction and jealousy towards him.

Wait for the reason for this matter to spread.

Qin Chi also secured his position.

In addition, Qin Chi just complimented Emperor Mingcheng in public.

It would not take long for the spies of the Imperial Guard to find out about it and pass it on to the emperor. It was hard to say whether the emperor would see it, but he would definitely put it on the imperial desk. If he saw it, he would be very happy.

Maybe there will be a reward!

Not all the people living in Cuihua Hutong are officials from the Hanlin Academy.

There are people from all kinds of departments, but their positions are not high.

So as they walked, the only people with different opinions were Qin Chi and Dong Xingde.

Dong Xingde was in his thirties. Before he entered the Imperial Academy, he finally said, "I, Dong Xingde, am not as good as you."

After saying this, he walked away with his head held high.

Qin Chi was speechless.

Compared to those with deep scheming minds, he prefers to deal with people like Dong Xingde.

The reason is easy to understand.

Qin Chi greeted his colleagues from yesterday and invited them to have lunch at Cuihua Hutong.

It was also pointed out before the invitation that it was just a common practice.

No need to be polite.

After walking around the Hanlin Academy and not seeing Bachelor Yan, Qin Chi left.

After going out, I went to see my classmate Lu Yanji.

Lu Yanji is still in the rented inn.

When I found him, I happened to see a scholar next to him.

The two seemed to be discussing something.

When Qin Chi approached, Lu Yanji quickly noticed him, stood up and asked in surprise: "Qian, how did you find time to come here?"

"I just happened to be free, so I came to see you."

Among the scholars of the same period, Qin Chi was only familiar with Lu Yanji. "What are you doing?"

"We were discussing the test questions. My brother Lu and I are planning to take the exam for the title of Scholar." Lu Yangji pulled Qin Chi over and sat down.

The scholar next to him bowed to Qin Chi and said, "Lu Bozhou greets Master Qin."

"I remember you."

There is no wrong version in the 1619 book forum!

When Qin Chi heard his name, he immediately remembered who he was. Wasn't he one of the two candidates they met when they came to Beijing to take the exam? He looked around, "Where's the other one?"

"He failed the exam and has left Beijing."

Lu Bozhou sat down at Qin Chi's signal.

After coming to the capital, Lu Bozhou heard a lot of stories about Qin Chi. His eyes sparkled as he looked at him, full of admiration, but he pretended to be reserved and held back, probably because he was afraid that he would not be able to catch Qin Chi's eye.

Qin Chi felt strange when he saw his expression. "I am just an ordinary person. There is no need to be so reserved. Just be as relaxed as Brother Yanji."

"I am so happy that I can meet you today." Lu Bozhou's mouth corners kept rising while he spoke, but he held them down tightly. "Luckily I met you on the way, so I could reach the capital safely. To me, this is like a grace of rebirth."

After saying this.

Lu Bozhou stood up again stiffly.

He bowed deeply to Qin Chi.

I have no way to repay you, so I can only bow to express my gratitude.

Qin Chi helped him up, pretending to be injured, "There's really no need to do this."

"I know. I'll keep my gratitude in mind first and repay you when I have the ability in the future." Lu Bozhou had an expression that said, "I understand."

Qin Chi was choked and speechless.

Lu Yanji next to him chuckled, "Haha, Qi'an, don't worry about it. He is just like that. You will know after spending more time with him."

I stayed in the inn for half an hour.

Qin Chi invited them out loud, "I have invited some colleagues from the Hanlin Academy to my home this afternoon. Would you two like to join us?"

Their eyes lit up instantly.

He agreed immediately.

How could such a good opportunity be missed? Before taking the exam for the Imperial Academy, it was different to meet the officials of the Imperial Academy or not. At least one could have an impression of them.

"You must understand that everything has two sides."

Qin Chi gave an appropriate reminder.

The two men's expressions suddenly became more serious.

Lu Yanji and Lu Bozhou are not stupid people. If they go back with Qin Chi this time, they will probably be labeled as Qin Chi. When they take the examination for the title of Shujishi, someone may let them pass for Qin Chi's sake, or someone may not get along with Qin Chi and reject them.

"It doesn't matter. Life is a gamble."

Lu Bozhou was open-minded about it. "It's okay to lose once. There are still opportunities to gamble again."

Lu Yanji smiled and said, "Of course, if I guess it right, it's right. If I don't, it's okay. I can take the exam again next time. If I really can't pass, I can find a job somewhere else. If that doesn't work, I can be a county magistrate. Anyway, I can be an official."

"Just think it over carefully."

Qin Chi took the lead in stating the pros and cons. He didn't want to help anymore. If the result was not as good as the other party expected, he would end up being resentful.

He truly regarded Lu Yanji as a friend.

Lu Bozhou can only be said to be a by-product.

We didn't know each other very well, I just liked him and didn't mind giving him a hand.
