"Brother Zhiyuan." Lin Su was looking at him, but Yang Cheng saw him walking towards him. "Didn't your carriage come to pick you up? Do you want me to give you a ride?"
Lin Su's original name was also Lin Su. The name represents the correct form and the courtesy name represents virtue. The original body was just crowned and given a courtesy name this year, Zhiyuan.
Be indifferent to show your ambition, be calm to achieve your goals.
The word is a good one, and it coincides with his current purpose.
"Thank you, Brother Bowen. When I entered the Imperial Examination Hall, I asked my servant to hire a carriage to wait here. I think there are too many people here now and I can't find it for the time being. Brother Bowen, you can go ahead." Lin Su said with a smile.
Yang Cheng was just being polite. When the carriage arrived and he was about to mount, the voices around him fell silent for a moment.
"That must be Qi Qingyi, he is indeed a dragon and phoenix."
"Even before the imperial examination, there were already some brilliant essays circulating in the world. I think this time the imperial examination will also be dominated by the top talent."
"How can we compare to the son of the Minister of Personnel?"
“…”
Lin Su followed the gazes of those people and saw that the entrance to the Imperial Examination Hall was crowded with people. Only one person came out slowly and leisurely, leaving a space around him.
The man was dressed in elegant clothes, with extremely delicate and beautiful eyebrows and eyes. Although he had the appearance of a girl, he did not have the softness of a woman. His robe fluttered in the wind, and when people greeted him, he had the air of a scholar when he returned the greetings.
Judging from the surface, he is truly as beautiful as jade and a gentleman without parallel in the world.
Qi Qingyi, the son of the Minister of Personnel, whose courtesy name was Wenjue, was a gentleman as beautiful as jade. It was said that his moral character was as clear and gentle as jade.
Born into a noble family, he has been a study companion to the prince of the Marquisate since he was young. If he can pass the examination and become a Jinshi, his future will be truly limitless.
Such a wealthy and noble person is as precious as a jade, no wonder the protagonist Yang Cheng fell in love with him at first sight.
Lin Su looked at Yang Cheng who was about to get on the car. The man who was calm just now froze in the middle of getting on the car, and his eyes did not shift at all from looking at Qi Qingyi.
The plot of the original world line also starts from here. Qi Qingyi is indeed talented. In the original world line, he not only won the first place in the imperial examination, but also won the third place in the imperial examination and the top place in the imperial examination. His talent of winning the first place in the imperial examination is rare in the world. He immediately entered the Hanlin Academy and became a compiler. With an official position of the sixth rank, it is only a matter of time before he becomes a prime minister and enters the cabinet in the future.
Although Yang Cheng passed the imperial examination and became a Jinshi, he was only in the third class. After the results were announced, he was sent back to his hometown and became a seventh-rank prosecutor.
Although the official ranks are similar, Beijing officials and local officials have different promotion channels, and the difference is as great as heaven and earth. Although Yang Cheng has admiration for her, he also knows that he cannot even have any opinion on her, otherwise it will bring disaster to his family.
If they had just parted ways, both would have been fine. However, after returning home, Yang Cheng met the prostitute Qingxi in a brothel. Qingxi was young, but looked 80% similar to Qi Qingyi. If he could learn some of his manners, it would be Qi Qingyi standing in front of him.
Although he couldn't find the real owner, Yang Cheng spent a lot of money to redeem Qingxi and bring her back home. There was no precedent of men having wives in this dynasty, and playing with men was even more criticized, but he didn't care and kept the woman at home to train her carefully, trying to get a clue about the man from Qingxi.
Perhaps it was because the white moonlight in his heart was too strong, Yang Cheng felt that even touching Qingxi was a blasphemy to that person. While he blamed himself, he also enjoyed being with someone who looked like him.
With such gentlemanly distance and careful protection, even a stone can be warmed up, let alone Qingxi, which was redeemed on the first listing.
If this continues, it might not be impossible for a substitute to take the position, but the Minister of Personnel was corrupt and accepted bribes, and his entire family was convicted. Qi Qingyi, who had a promising future, also fell from the clouds and was exiled as a criminal slave.
A fallen phoenix is no better than a chicken, and there will always be people who want to step on it. When Yang Cheng got the news, he felt both pity and joy, and rushed hundreds of miles to bring Qi Qingyi back.
With the real owner around, any imitation, no matter how high-quality, is just a substitute. With a similar face and similar behavior to that person, Qingxi knew very well that he had given his true feelings to the wrong person.
Qi Qingyi was proud and arrogant, so even when Yang Cheng brought him into the mansion, he was cautious and tried to please him. He didn't drive Qingxi out, but just hid him in a small courtyard. How could there not be trouble if he acted like this?
When the two met, Qi Qingyi learned about Qingxi's background and felt humiliated. Yang Cheng praised and loved him so much that how could he be unhappy because of a substitute?
It would be fine if it was just sold, but the protagonists, both the top and bottom, could not accept Qingxi serving others with a similar face. His beautiful face was scratched, and he was heartbroken. Qingxi's unwillingness made him speak wildly.
"So what if you say I came from a brothel? Aren't you still the same as me now?"
He lost his life because of his momentary impulsiveness. After his death, his body was thrown into a mass grave to be eaten by birds and beasts. He became a wandering ghost and no one spoke up for him.
This is the tragedy of this era, because prostitutes are a lowly class, the lowest of all classes. It is common for ordinary officials to beat their slaves to death, let alone a young prostitute who has a contract to sell her body.
Although the master has the power of life and death over the slaves, generally philanthropic families will not easily beat the slaves to death, as it would ruin their reputation if it got out.
Qi Qingyi got on the Shangshu Mansion's carriage and left. Yang Cheng didn't move until the carriage disappeared, but the admiration and disappointment in his eyes were hard to conceal.
06 said: [All love at first sight is just lust at first sight. ]
"Well said." Lin Su praised.
06 didn't dare to say that he learned this from the host, he was just curious: [Are you not interested in Qi Qingyi? ]
[Hmm, not really interested.] Lin Su was losing interest. Even if he was attracted by beauty, it would depend on the person. [Even if I'm a beast, I can't just go after anyone who looks good.]
06 thinks Qi Qingyi may not have reached the point where the host would be tempted by his beauty.
Qi Qingyi has nothing to do with him at the moment. What he needs to consider is how to redeem the person before Yang Cheng redeems him.
Yang Cheng is the eldest son of the Yang family. Unlike Lin Su, who is not worthy of the title of eldest son, he is very much loved in the family. When redeeming Qingxi, he simply took out five hundred taels of silver.
In this era when five taels of silver are enough for a family of three to live comfortably for a year, Lin Su can basically forget about getting five hundred taels of silver given his current status and position.
The author has something to say: Thanks to evil—Wei Xiaotianshi for the mines~
The status of merchants varied in different dynasties, and the value of silver was even more different. During the heyday of the Tang Dynasty, one tael of silver was equivalent to about RMB 2,000-4,000.
