Patriarch, he doesn't want to take the imperial examinations

Chapter 8

Time travels on paper and ink, and a day passes quickly.

On April [-]th, Meng Zhen came to the academy early in the morning and stood in the yard with the students in the school for morning reading.

Read it early, before class in the morning.

Because of Xu Jiaxing's words, the classroom was extremely noisy.

Xu Jiaxing said that Chen Qiushi had transferred to another school and would never come here again.

Everyone turned their attention to Meng Zhen at the same time, they had heard more or less about the matter between the two of them in private.

Chen Qiushi's elder sister sold and married Yu Mengzhen as his wife, and she died within a year.And they also heard that this Mengzhen had not only one wife, but had married five wives, but none of them were kept.

He was accused by the outside world of "restricting his wife".

Now because of his arrival, even their classmates were forced away.

It can be seen that this person is ominous.

The accusations were mixed with the chatter, and Meng Zhen's ears were so keen that he could hear them clearly.

But what can he do, he can't go up and cover people's mouths to prevent people from talking.

Meng Zhen simply covered his ears, not listening to his ears and not disturbing his heart, and started to read silently.

But his strength alone was too small, and soon the sound of silent writing was lost in the noise.

It wasn't until Master Zheng walked into the lecture hall that the board fell heavily on the desk, and the noise below stopped abruptly.

Looking around, Mr. Zheng admonished: "Sit quietly and always think about your own mistakes, and don't talk about people's faults in small talk. In the future, I will hear someone gossip about right and wrong behind their backs. I will copy the entire Four Books until it is silently written."

The students below couldn't help trembling, thinking, even if they pretend to be dumb in the future, don't copy the four scriptures, it's too torture.

After Mr. Zheng's training, sure enough, there will be no more behind-the-scenes nonsense in the classroom, but everyone's attitude towards Mengzhen is even more indifferent.

Meng Zhen didn't feel anything, he was used to being quiet and didn't like others making noise around him.

The days went on peacefully for more than half a month, and soon the college ushered in another short vacation, and the school took a three-day bath during the Dragon Boat Festival.

Early in the morning, after breakfast, Meng Zhen was about to sit in the study and read a book, but Meng Hong ran over to him and said, "Father, today is the Dragon Boat Festival, my son will take you out for a stroll."

Before he could refuse, Meng Hong had already held his arm, "Father, you can't refuse, you have to accompany your son no matter what you say today, you haven't been shopping with me for a long time."

After all, he pulled his father and went straight out.Meng Zhen suddenly became angry, and said displeasedly: "I'm guilty of the next crime, how can a son pull me like this, let go."

Meng Hong giggled, his hand movements slowed down, and he helped his father to walk out slowly.

As soon as the two of them walked out of the courtyard, a small thing suddenly jumped out to block their way, "Okay, second brother, you didn't take me with you when you went out to play, so heartless."

Meng Hong tapped the visitor's forehead lightly, "You bad thing, I play with you every day, but if I don't take you today, you will call me heartless, and I think you are heartless."

Meng Che chuckled, revealing two small white canine teeth, and hugged his brother's arm, "I want my second brother to play with me every day."

Meng Hong rubbed the person's head carelessly, and said: "Okay, okay, second brother will take you here." Holding one hand, the three of them walked out together.

Ah Qing drove the carriage and stood guard outside the gate, and the three of them came out and got into the carriage.

In the carriage, Meng Che leaned against his father, and asked Meng Hong on the other side, "Second Brother, where are you taking us?"

Meng Hong said: "Go to the capital."

"The capital?" Meng Che blinked with big almond-like eyes, "Is it fun there?"

Meng Hong smiled and said: "Of course it's fun, that's where the emperor lives. In the whole world, there is no place in the world that is bigger and more fun than the capital city."

After what his brother said, Meng Che was even more surprised, his eyes rolled, and he suddenly asked: "Second brother, is the third brother there?"

Meng Hong replied: "Yes, do you want to see him?" But he glanced at his father.

At this moment, Meng Zhen's eyes were closed tightly, being caught between the two of them, feeling uncomfortable all over.

Meng Che said happily: "Okay, okay, I haven't seen third brother for a long time."

Meng Hong also nodded: "Your third brother has no conscience, and he won't go home to see us."

When he said these words, he kept looking at Mengzhen, but Mengzhen sat there motionless like a monk in meditation.

Meng Hong shook his father, "Father, what are your plans after entering the city, the sons will follow you first."

Meng Zhen said without opening his eyes, "I'm going to buy a sword."

"Sword?" Meng Che, who was on the side, immediately got up from his father when he heard it, his eyes were full of wonder, "What are you doing with a sword, why don't you buy me one too."

Meng Hong poked him on the forehead, "You are a child, what do you want a sword for, you are not afraid of hurting yourself."

Meng Che raised his small face: "It's not true, but it's okay to be fake."

Meng Hong said "hmm": "Isn't there a lot of fakes in your house? You want so much, eat it as a meal."

Meng Che said nicely, "Can you eat a sword? Second brother, have you ever eaten it?"

Meng Hong got angry at him, and immediately stretched out his hand to tear his mouth. Meng Che hugged his father tightly and shouted loudly: "Father, second brother hit me."

"Okay, you actually sued the villain first." Meng Hong grabbed him and scratched his body.

Meng Che giggled because of being scratched, and rolled into his father's arms.Mengzhen was aching in the head from the two chickens fighting like they were pecking at rice. He opened his eyes and shouted: "Calm down, the carriage will be dismantled for you."

The two stopped their quarrel immediately, Meng Che made a face at Meng Hong, Meng Hong cursed secretly, little bastard, I won't bring you out next time.

Then he smiled and turned to his father: "Father, what are you doing buying a sword?" This is because you think you don't have enough literature, and you still want to practice martial arts?Can your body withstand it?

Meng Zhen glanced at him and said, "Suppress evil spirits."

"Suppressing evil spirits?" Meng Hong felt even more surprised, "Is there any evil spirits in our house?"

Meng Che on the side said: "Maybe Dad used it to scare people."

Meng Hong chuckled: "Yes, to scare you. When you don't study hard, dad will take it out to shock you."

Meng Che pretended to cry: "Second brother, what are you doing to scare me? You and I were born by the same father. Why do you only read books when you don't? If you are bad, you know how to bully me."

Crying and burrowing into his father's arms again, it was rare for Meng Zhen to be a loving father, taking advantage of the situation to gently pat him on the back.

Meng Hong said slowly: "Isn't there still father with you? What is there to be sad about?" His eyes fell on his father, and he thought to himself, Meng Zhen read books, bought swords, and often meditated. It may be a practitioner, a Taoist priest, or a monk.

In short, not a modern person.

Meng Che was still chattering in that room, and Meng Hong didn't respond to him for a while.Meng Zhen was sandwiched between the two of them, and after saying a few words, he slacked off and let them fight back and forth like chickens pecking at rice.

The capital is not far from Xianghe County, and it took more than an hour for the carriage to arrive.After entering the city, Meng Hong first took his father to Jianjianfang.

The Jianjianfang is a place dedicated to making weapons. They are usually sold and cast immediately. In case customers need them urgently, there are usually finished weapons in the workshop.

Meng Zhen thought it took too long to make a sword, so he directly picked a finished sword that he was satisfied with.Although this sword is incomparable to the spiritual weapon of his previous life, it is enough for ordinary practice.

After the three men came out from the sword casting workshop after buying the sword, Meng Hong and Meng Zhen said: "Father, we finally came to the capital, we should go and see the third brother."

Before Meng Zhen could speak, Meng Che had already clapped his hands in agreement: "Yes, yes, I want to see third brother too."

Meng Zhen saw that the two of them were very excited, so he also nodded: "Okay, since you all want to see the third child, let's go now."
