I’m the Hero, His Brother, Wear It Quickly
Chapter 203: Fox Demon Repaying Kindness【03】
Xiao's father is a fourth-rank prefect. He has been an official for many years and has a wide network of contacts. He is also deeply in love with Xiao's mother and his wife. There are only one son and one daughter. There are many men who want to marry Xiao Yu.
With conditions like Wang Jin's, a mere poor scholar can catch a lot of them.
If Xiao Yu remarried, marrying a young person would be easy.
So Wang Jin knew that what Yuan Jia said about Xiao Yu's remarriage was a fact.
The more sought-after Xiao Yu is, the less willing Wang Jin is to let go.
He also wanted to find an excuse to refuse, but Yuan Jia gave him an ultimatum: "No need to say more, my father and I have already made up our minds on this matter. When you proposed marriage, you promised to treat Yu'er well, and she was the only one in your life, but it turned out that before you got married, If it weren't for this confidante, it was a fox demon who made things bigger, I'm afraid he didn't want to hide it from us all the time."
Wang Jin was speechless and guilty, but even so, he still didn't want to give up.
However, Yuan Jia didn't want to play tricks with him, and directly forced him to sign the letter of separation and resignation that he had prepared.
Seeing things can't be done, Wang Jin is also smart, and said with a lonely face: "I love my cousin, but I don't want to make a mistake because of the fox demon, and miss the good fate with my cousin. Now I can only wish my cousin... find a good person... "He returned the marriage certificate and token to Yuan Jia with tears in his eyes, with a sad look of deep love and righteousness being trapped in love.
Yuan Jia just thought he was singing and returned to Xiao's house after he got what he wanted.
He told the good news to Xiao's father, Xiao's mother and Xiao Yu.
Xiao Yu said in a loss: "I thought it was a good match, but I didn't expect such a result..."
Mother Xiao comforted: "It's all my mother who misunderstood Wang Jin, don't worry Yu'er, my father and mother will definitely find another good man for you to be your husband."
Xiao Yu laughed and said, "It's okay, mother, I'm not worried." She hugged Xiao's mother's hand and said with a smile, "I can stay by my mother's side for two more years, and our family can continue to live together. together."
Father Xiao also smiled and said, "That won't work. Yuan Jia is going to the capital to participate in the test. You girl must go to the capital with your elder brother."
Xiao Yu had heard Yuan Jia talk about this for a long time, and she was not disgusted, and said, "It just so happens that I can still see Sister Huo Rong."
Huo Rong was the fiancee who had engaged Xiao Yuanjia.
Before Yuan Jia crossed over, the Xiao family and the Huo family decided to marry their two children.
Xiao Yuanjia is more than two years older than Huo Rong. The Huo family hopes to keep their daughter until she is 18 before marrying, so Xiao Yuanjia has not married until she is 20.
Only then will Xiao Yu, the younger sister, get married before the elder brother.
Because the test was imminent, the Xiao family quickly packed up everything that Yuan Jia needed to prepare for going to the capital, and sent a team of guards to go with him.
A few days before departure, Li Guanzhu, who went to hunt down Hu Xue, finally returned.
Li Guanzhu said to Father Xiao: "Master Xiao, Pindao has lost his trust and failed to catch the cunning fox demon. The fox demon is cunning and good at changing the way, and escaped from the eyes of Pindao many times. I have already escaped from Linzhou, and I have to give up.”
Father Xiao was not disappointed or angry, and comforted: "It's not Li Guanzhu's fault, but the fox demon is too cunning."
Yuan Jia had already sensed that the breath he left on Hu Xue through the squirrel spirit was getting farther and farther, and he could hardly sense it. Obviously, Hu Xue had indeed run away.
He was not too surprised, Hu Xue was the heroine of this world, and even Wang Jin was not as important to her.
Because the original plot of this world is described from the perspective of the female protagonist, the male protagonist is far less important than the female protagonist, or the man who is in love with Hu Xue is the male protagonist.
As the heroine, how could Hu Xue be caught by Li Guanzhu so easily.
<<<<<<
Li Guanzhu heard that Yuan Jia was going to take the Beijing Examination, so he wanted to accompany Yuan Jia there.
However, Yuan Jia persuaded him to say, "Master, this fox demon is evil, cunning and insidious. It is inevitable that after learning that Master has left Linzhou, he will kill him and return to the carbine, and he may even take revenge on the Xiao family and Wang family, and trouble Master. You sit in the Xiao family and save your disciples' worries."
Li Guanzhu was worried about his safety: "But it's a long way to the capital, if that fox demon finds you..."
Yuan Jia smiled slightly and said: "Master, don't worry, the disciple has already started the practice, and now he is a cultivator of refining and transforming qi. The fox demon was seriously injured by the master's amulet first, and then fought with the master, the injury will definitely worsen, I will Even if you meet that fox demon, you can protect yourself."
"What? You've already started?" Li Guanzhu was extremely shocked. He stretched out his hand and found that Yuan Jia did have spiritual power in his body.
Li Guanzhu looked at Yuan Jia's very gentle and loving expression, and even his words softened a lot: "Okay, Yuan Jia, your talent in cultivation is beyond what you expected as a teacher, now that you have entered the school, you can take it as a teacher again. Those magic tools and talismans are indeed enough to protect themselves."
Li Guanzhu no longer insisted on escorting Yuan Jia into the capital. He gave him all the treasures that Yuan Jia needed on his body, and Yin Yin urged: "Be careful on the road, don't provoke evil spirits by relying on your own entry to practice, everything. Self-preservation is the main thing.”
Yuan Jia was deeply moved, but he only accepted a part of the items suitable for the cultivator of refining Qi, and the rest of the treasures that Li Guanzhu needed were returned to him.
"Thank you, Master, for your concern, and this disciple will keep it in your heart."
Yuan Jia and Xiao Yu took their servants to form a convoy and set off on the road. The journey from Linzhou to the capital is not very close, but fortunately, there are many official roads along the way, and they rarely sleep outdoors. They usually stay in the city, and there is no danger. .
Now the practice is declining, but the same monsters and evil spirits are rare, because the reduction of aura is not aimed at a certain race, but the aura of the whole world has decreased, and no one can be spared.
It's just that the monsters have a long lifespan and can absorb the essence of the sun and the moon to cultivate, which is a bigger advantage than the human monks. But human practitioners are by no means easy-going, and the real big monsters dare not go to the world to jump around, so as not to provoke the real powerhouses of human beings.
Along the way, Yuan Jia and his group encountered evil spirits such as little ghosts. However, except for a few women, most of them were young and strong with strong vigor and vitality, and there were not many little devils even approaching them. Don't dare, for fear of being swept away by the blood.
After entering the capital, they returned to the Xiao family's mansion in the capital.
When Xiao's father became an official, he was originally an official in the capital, and naturally he had to buy a mansion in the capital, but later he was sent to Linzhou as a prefect, and then he settled down in Linzhou again.
The Xiao mansion in the capital had servants who stayed here to guard and clean, so when Yuan Jia and the others came to the Xiao mansion, everything was the same as when they left the capital, and nothing changed.
<<<<<<
Not long after Yuan Jia and Xiao Yu returned, they received a post from the Huo family, inviting them to come to the banquet.
The Huo family is also relatively ordinary in the capital. Huo's father is only a fourth-rank official, which is one level lower than Xiao's official fourth-rank official. However, he is a Beijing official, and he is stronger than Xiao's local official.
Huo's family and Xiao's family are really well-matched. Huo's father and Xiao's father were also jinshi who passed the exam in the same year. They have similar family backgrounds, so they naturally came into a circle and made good friends and even their children's in-laws.
The Huo family took the initiative to send a message immediately, so Yuan Jia and Xiao Yu naturally had to go.
The two went to the Huo family for a banquet. This was the banquet that the Huo family gave them to wash away the dust. There were only the Huo family and the Yuan Jia brothers and sisters at the scene.
A table for men and a table for women, separated by a screen.
Yuan Jia was sitting on the right side of Huo's father, and Huo's father's left was his future brother-in-law Huo Cheng and Huo Cheng's youngest son.
Huo's father was a middle-aged man who looked very kind. He touched his beard and asked, "Yuanjia, how sure are you that you will try this time?"
Yuan Jia said with a smile: "If you are famous on the list, you will be sure of it."
Huo's father laughed: "Good boy, the future generations are terrible, just have confidence." He didn't think Yuan Jia was bragging, after all, the results of the rural exam were placed there before, and he ranked fifth in the rural exam.
Huo Cheng, who was sitting next to him, cast an envious look at Yuan Jia.
After Yuan Jia noticed it, he silently changed the subject and stopped talking about the imperial examinations.
Because he didn't want to offend his eldest brother before marrying a wife.
Huo Cheng is four or five years older than Xiao Yuanjia, and now his son is more than six years old, but he is still a scholar, studying hard for exams, and failing again and again.
Yuan Jia said in front of a person who could not pass the township exam that he would definitely be nominated in the exam, which was a bit of hatred.
The woman's table also talked about the imperial examinations.
Xiao Yu didn't know that Huo Cheng failed many times. In order to improve her eldest brother's impression score in front of her future sister-in-law, she has been showing off her eldest brother's good grades in reading. Two of the four great joys in life.
Huo Rong was of course happy for her fiancé, and she was also happy for her future husband-in-law's bright future.
Huo's mother had mixed feelings in her heart. While she was happy that her son-in-law was successful in the imperial examination, she couldn't help but think of her son who failed in the imperial examination.
Huo Cheng's wife simply felt unhappy, but on this occasion, she had to laugh, echoing Xiao Yu's boast, and she was about to vomit blood.
After the banquet, Huo's father called Yuan Jia and Huo Cheng to the study together, and gave them exam questions to compare them.
Because Yuan Jia is in the exam, Huo Cheng has just failed the exam, so the difficulty of the two exam questions is not the same.
But when the two finished writing the exam questions he gave, Huo's father took a look and read the strategies written by Yuan Jia first, every word of which was unsatisfactory, and he couldn't help showing a smile on his face.
After reading Yuan Jia's, and then looking at his son Huo Cheng's writing, it is almost a tragic comparison. Originally, the articles that Huo's father thought were acceptable before, he only felt unsightly under the tragic comparison.
Father Huo didn't even read it, and a nameless fire burst into his heart.
He wanted to jump up and beat his son - look at other people's children, you are four or five years older than others and your grades are so much worse than others? Do you still have a face?
But considering Huo Cheng's face, Huo's father suppressed his anger, put Huo Cheng's article aside and covered it up, and discussed with Yuan Jia the article he wrote.
Huo Cheng, who was ignored by his own father, shivered in his heart, his palms were sweaty, and he was very nervous.
<<<<<<
Huo's father couldn't find anything wrong with Yuan Jia's homework. After the two discussed the examiner's style of writing for a while, he let Yuan Jia leave.
Huo Cheng, who was left behind, swallowed nervously, Huo's father looked at him calmly, and then took out two articles, "Look at Yuan Jia's article first, then look at your own writing, after reading you You should know the difference between you."
Huo's father was not angry, but Huo Cheng was even more uneasy in his heart. He picked up two articles and read them in turn.
After reading Yuan Jia's article, he doesn't have to read his own article anymore, or he doesn't want to read his own article anymore.
Because the stark contrast was like a slap on his face, making his face flush.
There is no need for detailed examples and comparisons, just read the two articles once, or even how good the cultural literacy of the viewer is. As long as you can read and write, you can see the vast difference between the two articles.
It's like delicious food and dry overnight steamed buns.
Huo Cheng lowered his head in frustration: "Father..."
Huo's father's anger had long since dissipated. He sighed deeply and said, "A literary talent like Yuan Jia is rare in the world, and you don't have to compare with him. But at least you have to pass the test, Dad. It's good to get an officer for you."
Huo Cheng lowered his head and didn't dare to say a word. It wasn't that he didn't want to pass the test, but it was really too difficult. He really failed the test. After failing the second time, he was so flustered that he couldn't hold a pen. .
When Huo's father was giving psychological counseling to Huo Cheng, Yuan Jia went to meet his fiancée, Huo Rong, under the help of Huo's mother.
Huo Rong is a lively and bright girl. Her eyes are full of brilliance. At first glance, she can tell that she is pampering a girl who grew up, but she is not domineering and domineering, but is very gentle and considerate.
Yuan Jia was naturally satisfied when he saw that Huo Rong and Xiao Yu got along very well, like sisters.
He only met Huo Rong once, and after a few words, he had to leave.
But this time, he had a good impression of Huo Rong, his fiancee.
After Yuan Jia and Xiao Yu left the Huo family, they returned to the Xiao family. As the heirs of the Xiao family, he came to visit other relatives and friends of the Xiao family alone with gifts.
These people were all told to him by Father Xiao, and they will also be one of his contacts in the officialdom in the future, so naturally, they must be well maintained.
After the end of the relationship, Yuan Jia closed the door to thank the guests and prepared for the upcoming meeting.
After passing the exam, Yuan Jia won the first title, Hui Yuan, and almost locked in the first place in the palace exam.
Xiao Yu was so happy that he immediately wrote a long letter and sent it back to the Xiao family in Linzhou to announce the good news to his parents.
Yuan Jia said: "The palace exam is coming soon, and it's not too late to announce the good news after the results of the palace exam come out."
Xiao Yu said plausibly, "I'm happy with my results in the general exam, and I'm happy with my results in the palace exam. Wouldn't it be good to make my parents happy twice?"
Yuan Jia shook his head helplessly: "Okay, there's nothing wrong, then you can write."
Xiao Yugang sent this letter out. It is estimated that Yuan Jia went to participate in the palace exam before he arrived in Linzhou.
The palace exam was held in the palace. Yuan Jia and a group of candidates were waiting outside the palace gate. He looked at the fortune of the dynasty over the palace, and found that the fortune was hidden and did not have much deterrent effect.
It's no wonder that he didn't feel a lot of human luck in the capital. He thought that the dynasty was about to die. Now it seems that the aura of the dynasty was hidden due to the thinness of spiritual energy, and he was unable to mobilize the spiritual energy of heaven and earth to repel demons and ghosts.
It is no wonder that in the original plot, the heroine Hu Xue, a fox demon, dared to possess the princess.
If it were an era of prosperous cultivation, if Hu Xue dared to enter the palace, he would be suppressed by the luck of the dynasty so that he couldn't use any magic tricks.
But now the luck in the royal family can no longer protect them from the evil spirits.
Yuan Jia was curious, the luck of the dynasty could not protect the children of the royal family, so who was the master sitting in the capital? Why wasn't the princess possessed by the fox demon discovered in the original plot?
<<<<<<
At the end of the palace exam, Yuan Jia won the first prize in the exam. Unlike Wang Jin who cheated by cheating with a fox demon, Yuan Jia was awarded the first prize by the truth (kai), the book (wai), and the thing (gua).
After Xiao Yu learned that his eldest brother passed the exam, he was so happy that he wrote a thick stack of letter paper and sent it back to Linzhou to announce the good news to Xiao's father and Xiao's mother.
If she was a little worried that it would be difficult for her to find a sweetheart when she became a second marriage, and now her brother is so capable, what should she be afraid of?
In Xiao's house far away in Linzhou, Xiao's father and Xiao's mother just received the first good news letter written by Xiao Yu. When they saw the content of the letter, Xiao's father and Xiao's mother were overjoyed.
"Yuan Jia passed the Hui Yuan exam, and the result of the palace exam will not be bad."
"Very good, this is a big happy event. It just so happens that Yuan Jia is going to get married this year. Isn't this a double happiness?"
Soon Father Xiao learned through the court's news channel that his son had passed the exam.
The news from the imperial court was delivered much faster than Xiao Yu's letter.
When Xiao Yu's second good news came to the state, the Xiao family had already held a big banquet to celebrate.
Even without the protagonist here, the banquet was still lively.
Mother Wang and Jin Wang, who came to the banquet, moved their chopsticks silently and stuffed their stomachs with good dishes with oil and water. They didn't dare to lean in front of Xiao's father and Xiao's mother at all, and they didn't want to say congratulations.
Because of the fox demon, the Xiao family forcibly took Xiao Yu back, and the marriage was no longer counted.
Wang Jin pretended to let go when he couldn't do anything, but Wang's mother couldn't be as generous as he was, and went to Xiao's house to make a big fuss after he got better.
Fortunately, Xiao Yu had already followed Yuan Jia to Beijing at that time, and was not in the Xiao Mansion in Linzhou.
Xiao's mother, who was originally jealous because Wang Jin was greedy and lustful to provoke fox demons, was disturbed by Wang's mother. In disappointment, she cut off the assistance to the Wang family at the instigation of Xiao's father.
Without the assistance of the Xiao family, the Wang family is almost out of food. These days, the mother and son are both starving and rolling their eyes because of the lack of water.
This time, the Xiao family held a banquet to celebrate the champion in the Yuanjia Examination. Neither Mother Wang nor Wang Jin wanted to come, but they reluctantly came to have a good meal.
When people were busy attending the banquet, no one noticed that a strand of red hair under the eaves quietly revealed a little trace.
A fiery red fox was poking his head and looking at the people who were attending the banquet in the lower room, his eyes looking for the person he was looking for.
In the end, its gaze fell on the mother and son of the Wang family who were burying their heads in eating, to be precise, on Wang Jin.
The red fox quickly disappeared under the eaves.
<<<<<<
In a remote deserted alley outside the Xiao residence, a red shadow fell here, transforming into a beautiful woman with a graceful figure.
The woman waved her hand and took out a mirror, looked at herself in the mirror, lightly stroked half of her cheek, frowned slightly, and said with some distress, "It doesn't seem to be very docile..."
She tidied up her dress and pulled up the raised collar again to block her neck.
After the banquet was over, Wang Jin and Wang's mother avoided the crowd and went out.
They walked to the door of Wang's house, but found a woman in a red dress waiting in front of their door.
Mother Wang asked cautiously, "Who are you?"
The woman in red looked at the two with a look of surprise on her face: "Dare to ask if the two are the masters of the Wang family?"
"What does this have to do with you?"
The woman in red covered her face and sobbed: "The little girl Bai Hong is from Linshui County. Both of her parents died unexpectedly. My mother told me before she died that I have an uncle named Wang Yangting, who lives in Linzhou City, and my mother asked the little girl to come here. Looking for relatives, asking for protection from uncle."
Wang's mother and Wang Jin froze in place, because Wang Yangting was the name of Wang's father who died of illness.
Father Wang did have a sister who married far away, but when Mother Wang married into Wang's family, Wang's father's sister had been married for a few years, and had lost contact with her parents' family.
Because Wang's father and sister were not born from the same mother, Wang's father and sister were born by their original spouse, and Wang's father was born in a step room. The two brothers and sisters had a general relationship, and they naturally broke off contact after she got married.
After so many years, Wang's mother almost forgot that her deceased husband had a sister.
Suddenly a deceased husband's niece ran out, and Mother Wang was speechless in astonishment.
Wang Jin looked at Mother Wang and asked, "Mother, do I really have an aunt?"
Mother Wang hesitated and said, "Yes, yes, but whether this woman is really your cousin is still unknown."
The woman in red cried, "Are you my aunt and cousin? I beg your aunt to take me in. My father has been in business for many years and his family is rich. The clan people coveted my father's inheritance. I secretly took the family property and left home to go to my uncle. If I get caught If you go back, you will definitely be killed by them."
Mother Wang heard that Bai Hong said that she had brought a lot of money to the Wang family, and her heart moved suddenly, with a loving and gentle expression on her face, she walked over and took Bai Hong's hand, comforting: "Good boy, since you have come to defect to auntie , how could your aunt abandon you? Go home with your aunt."
Bai Hong gratefully held Mother Wang's hand: "Thank you auntie!" She looked at Wang Jin with tenderness and lowered her eyes, "Thank you cousin too."
Wang Jin's heart was moved by the soft eyes, and he swallowed the words he wanted to say to doubt the authenticity of Bai Hong's identity.
Entering Wang's house, Wang's mother did not rush to ask Bai Hong where the property she brought with her was, but first cared about her situation: "Hong'er, your uncle passed away many years ago, and only your aunt is a widow with your cousin, fortunately, Now that your cousin has passed the exam as a scholar, he can keep the clouds open and see the moon. How are you doing now, Hong’er? How did the clansmen on your father’s side oppress you?
