Chapter 288 How can a scholar bow down for five dou of rice?
If eyes could become physical, he would have been cut into pieces.
When Ji Shuangxin thought of the chaotic scene just now, cold sweat broke out on his back, and he forced himself to remain calm.
Just look, it won’t hurt him.
Anyway, he felt that he was right.
Just the truth.
Ji Dafu snorted coldly and said, "If you can read this book without crying, I'll ask your father to give you a big red envelope."
Ji Shuangxin ran away from home this time because his father withheld his pocket money.
But he still held back. He was a scholar, and how could a scholar bow down for a few pieces of silver?
"This is not a matter of money..."
Ji Dafu stretched out a hand and made a five gesture.
"I am a scholar..."
six.
"make a deal."
Ji Shuangxin swore that he was not bending over for a few pieces of silver, but for six pieces of silver.
Besides, why not do something that can make money so easily?
Scholars also need money to buy books!
He just didn't believe it. It was just a story. If he wanted to cry, he could just hold it back.
Half an hour later, Ji Shuangxin was crying at his desk with snot and tears. His tears were like a flood that could not be stopped.
Ji Wanyan was also reading a new book that had just been released today. When the daughter of the Grand Tutor went offline, she cried like a dog.
Ji Dafu had already run away with the book in his arms. If he didn't run away now, when would he run away?
After his daughter finishes reading the new sequel, she'll be lucky enough not to hang him up to vent her anger.
After all, the fifth prince in the book is fictional, but he really exists outside the book.
Dad ran away, and Ji Wanyan didn’t even have anything to vent her anger or relieve stress.
She asked Ji Shuangxin while sobbing.
"Which character in the book does your cousin like?"
Ji Shuangxin was so abused that he was dumbfounded. Ji Wanyan asked several times with a loud voice before he reacted and subconsciously said, "Five... plus the second prince."
Five plus two equals seven.
That is the seventh prince who is on the heroine's side.
The moment he blurted out the words, he suddenly thought of Ji Dafu's tragic end, and he cleverly added a two.
The Seventh Prince in the book is the heroine's choice for the emperor because he is gentle, kind, modest and intelligent. He recognizes the heroine's talent and is willing to be her teacher and follow her instructions even though he knows she is a woman.
She is a little angel recognized by readers outside the book.
If you like him, you are least likely to get beaten.
However, Ji Wanyan was not stupid, and she slightly narrowed her red and swollen eyes.
He slammed the table and scared Ji Shuangxin so much that he almost hid under the table.
"Great, since you are a member of the Seventh Prince's party, we can curse the Fifth Prince together."
Ji Shuangxin wanted to say something but stopped himself. Facing Ji Wanyan's sharp eyes, he could only respond hesitantly.
Afraid that he would be exposed, he asked his cousin to twist herself into a knot on the spot to vent his anger.
After all, he is a scholar and knows what it means to be a wise man who knows the current affairs. He is not as stupid as his uncle to expose his vicious hobbies in front of others.
Ji Wanyan seemed to be unaware of Ji Shuangxin's nature. She kept talking and cursing as loudly as she could, being as dirty as she could.
In the early stage, she didn't have much feeling towards the Fifth Prince. Although this character was evil, he also had a very strong charisma. Sometimes she even admired him for being able to turn a bad hand into a winning one.
Moreover, the character she liked married him. Although the two had no feelings for each other, they treated each other with respect in front of others, and sometimes it was even a little sweet.
To some extent, the two men's childhood experiences are somewhat similar. Both of them crawled out of the mud and emerged as the public, but one was good at disguising himself as a normal person, while the other disdained to disguise and acted recklessly.
She read the author's description of the interaction between the two many times. There were still many details buried in it. After reading it many times, she seemed to be able to guess a hint of the truth.
It's just that this marriage was planned by many parties from the very beginning. No one dared to give a single bit of sincerity to the situation and could only let the falsehood cover up the true feelings.
The daughter of the Grand Tutor is a character destined to be sacrificed by power from the moment she appears on the scene. She is weak and has no say, and is a chess piece that can be seen as such by others at a glance.
When she first appeared, everyone thought she was an insignificant cannon fodder, but as the plot progressed, it was discovered that she had a very different personality. She had no sense of justice and just wanted to survive.
What Ji Wanyan remembers most is the scene where she plays chess with the heroine. Two women with completely different experiences are sitting at the same table and talking. That conversation has a great impact on her.
For the first time in the story, I saw that the conversation between women was not about marriage, husbands, children, or anything in the backyard.
They are opposites in a way, but they can still appreciate each other.
Unfortunately, despite all the planning, he ultimately became a victim of the chess game.
The fifth prince is a bad person. Due to his experiences since childhood, he is very sensitive to people's evil, but is completely unable to understand people's kindness. He does not understand that love and hate can be intertwined and that human emotions are complex.
Readers have various interpretations of his emotions. Some say that his obsession with the heroine is liking and love, which is similar to the feelings that the male protagonist Yan Hen has for the heroine.
Ji Wanyan felt that this was a bit insulting to the male and female protagonists.
It is possible that he has some true feelings for the daughter of the Grand Tutor, but only a little. He himself cannot detect it, and it is even less likely that others will understand it. It is impossible for them to give up power for love.
It is mentioned in the novel that when a person died, he stared at the corpse for a long time, and finally he burned the corpse. Some of the ashes were blown away by the wind, and most of them merged with the earth.
Ji Wanyan noticed some details. The story mentioned that the Fifth Prince would directly destroy anything he liked.
He is a cruel person, to others and himself. He doesn't want anything to become his weakness, nor does he want the existence of anything to affect his emotions.
When he died, he was looking at the lanterns on the platform, not knowing what he was thinking. The red light flashed across his eyes. He probably thought of someone who had walked past him with a small lantern. He pouted unhappily. He found her true feelings revealed at that moment a little amusing. When he looked back, he could only see her flowing skirt and the flash of light from the lantern.
It was like the blush on her cheeks when I first met her, although it was fake, it was very beautiful.
I wonder if the wind blowing across his face tonight can bring him and her together...
"You beast, you beast!" Ji Wanyan scolded the Fifth Prince with tears and snot, "You are pretending to be affectionate after you die. When you were alive, you killed him without hesitation."
"My daughter tried so hard to live, but in the end she was killed by a sword. Can the wind tonight bring him to meet her? If it does, I will slap you in the face..."
Ji Shuangxin didn't want to say anything at first, but Ji Wanyan's scolding was so harsh.
He couldn't help but say, "It's not too much, how can there be no sacrifice in the struggle for power? He is also a pitiful person..."
