Early morning.
Liu Village.
Qin Mu washed his face seriously and changed into a set of clean clothes.
When he went out, he saw a carriage parked outside the door.
The driver was none other than Liu Li Zheng's son, Liu Yue.
"Brother Yue, why are you here? Why are you driving a carriage?”
Liu Yue was five years older than Qin Mu and had taken care of Qin Mu since he was young. Qin Mu had always treated him like his own brother.
It was just that Liu Yue wasn't cut out for reading. He felt that it was enough to learn a few hundred words from Qin Mu.
Fortunately, he had a strong body and was an expert hunter.
In the countryside, just farming and hunting could support themselves.
"Our father asked me to come!"
"Our father said that second brother now has an official rank and is a scholar!”
"If you don't even have a sidekick by your side, you'll be laughed at!”
"Hey!"
When Qin Mu heard this reason, he didn't know whether to laugh or cry.
"Big Brother, don't listen to Father's nonsense!”
"I'm just a scholar. It's nothing. What follower?”
"In my heart, you will always be my big brother, my family member who has always shielded me from the wind and rain!”
When Liu Yue heard what Qin Mu said, he revealed a simple and honest smile.
"Hehe!"
"We're also willing!"
Liu Yue's simple and unadorned words moved Qin Mu.
This was the brotherhood between them.
Simple, direct, and simple.
"Since big brother is happy, then we'll do as big brother says!”
"Hehe!"
Liu Yue walked forward with a silly smile and wanted to help Qin Mu up the carriage, but he was pushed away by Qin Mu.
"Big brother!"
"Do you still think I'm a child? Do I even need your help to get into a carriage?”
"Get out of the way. I'll show you how to jump into the car!”
Qin Mu quickly ran two steps and jumped onto the carriage when he was still one step away.
Although it was called a carriage, it was actually a flatbed cart used to pull goods in the mountains.
There was no carport or any decorations.
After Qin Mu jumped onto the carriage, he laid down on it and chatted with Liu Yue.
However, Liu Yue was not good with words.
Therefore, most of the time, he was the one talking, and Liu Yue listened with his ears pricked up.
Qin Mu first went to Lord Xue Zheng's place to receive the proof of Elementary Scholar.
With this set of identification, he would be a student from now on and enter the talent reserve of the Ming court.
When he passed the imperial examination, he would become a reserve cadre of the Ming court.
As for the Jinshi, they were not reserve officers, but quasi-officers.
Even if he was the last in the exam, he could be sent out to be a county magistrate and directly enter the Ming Dynasty's ruling class.
There was originally a Burning Tail Feast, but Qin Mu had rejected it.
The so-called Shaowei Banquet was a banquet specially held by the local magistrate and student government to entertain the scholars of the New Middle School.
The reason why it was named Burning Tail was because of an allusion.
According to ancient myths and legends, even if a wild beast became a spirit and cultivated into a human, its tail would not disappear.
Therefore, Shaowei had burned away his bestial nature, and from then on, he was a disciple of the Sage. He should follow the Sage's principles and use the Sage's Dao to restrain himself.
However, there was another explanation for the Burning Tail Banquet, which was that it represented a jump in class.
After all, before yesterday, they were just the children of ordinary farmers. However, after today, they directly stepped into the ranks of scholars and stood at the top of the Ming Dynasty.
Therefore, the so-called burning tail also had the meaning of a carp leaping over the dragon gate, cutting off from the past.
Originally, the Burning Tail Banquet was a great opportunity to get closer to his classmates, but Qin Mu had no intention of interacting too much with these scholars.
Because he was familiar with history, he knew that in a few years, there would be a fierce person who would kill ten clans in Ming Dynasty-Zhu Di!
The so-called ten clans included all the teachers and classmates.
If a few of these scholars scolded Zhu Di, wouldn't he cry to death?
Therefore, to be on the safe side, he ran away after obtaining his academic qualifications.
Be it teachers or classmates, he should not have too much contact with them!
If the day came when he really killed all ten clans, it would be convenient for him to clear his name.
Humph!
In order to save trouble, Qin Mu bought a set of Chinese Fir from Scholar Zheng, as well as a set of Square Scarf..
The so-called ragged shirt was the exclusive clothing of the Ming Dynasty scholars. It was the iconic dress that distinguished the common people from the intellectual.
As long as he wore these clothes, ordinary people would take the initiative to bow when they saw him.
If he met a prostitute, the prostitute had to kneel on both sides of the road far away and wait for Qin Mu to pass before standing up.
Therefore, not only was the style of this set of clothes beautiful, but the additional buff was also quite heaven-defying.
As for the Square Peace Turban, it was a black gauze hat.
Because it was a square, it was called the Square Peace Scarf.
Originally, these things should have been made by the mother, daughter-in-law, or sisters at home.
Not only was it expensive, but it also didn't fit well.
However, Qin Mu didn't have a wife.
Liu Dabiao, this godfather, was also disappointing. After so many years, he did not give birth to any godsisters. He could only spend money to buy ready-made ones.
Fortunately, these things were not expensive. The entire set only cost five taels of silver.
When Lord Xue Zheng saw Qin Mu spending so lavishly, he thought that he was a little tycoon.
Even her resentment towards him for not attending the Burning Tail Banquet had lessened considerably.
After all, Qin Mu was Little Three Yuan.
He was first in the county, provincial, and academy examinations.
If such a person did not attend the Burning Tail Banquet, many people would gossip about him.
However, when he enthusiastically recommended the Four Books and Five Classics that he had annotated, as well as the notes he had taken before the High Scholar Examination, he was mercilessly rejected by Qin Mu.
In his opinion, it was highly likely that someone who was not short of money would spend a few more taels of silver to buy some 'designated tutoring materials'.
Who would have thought that Qin Mu already had an even more awesome tutoring book, so how could he be interested in this trash?
Qin Mu came out from Lord Xue Zheng's place and found a secluded corner to change into the scholar's ragged clothes and put on the Square Calming Scarf.
After he was done packing, Qin Mu rushed to the magistrate's office of Heaven Ying Tian Prefecture and beat the drum used to complain at the entrance of the yamen!
It was never too late for a gentleman to take revenge!
He was finally going to declare war on the evil aristocrats of the old society!
