Chapter 550 Revenge
"How could it be!" The round-faced man was angry, and he straightened his back with excitement, "Justice is in the hearts of the people, and there are people who can distinguish between good and evil. Even if you can't at this time, you still can't. One day!”
When the scarred man heard this, his face was full of indignation, but then he was full of joy, "I never thought that I could meet like-minded people on the street. Dare I ask my name?"
"I'm here. Du Ruian, I don't know how to respect you..." The round-faced man handed over his hand again.
The scarred man first cupped his hand, and then said loudly, "Jiang Yihe."
"Brother Jiang." Du Ruian said with a smile, "Brother Jiang looks like a scholar. I wonder where he can get a high position at this time?"
Even though the imperial examination policy was relaxed a lot at this time and many more scientific examinations were added, but The review of scientific examination qualifications is still as strict as before.
Those who are not from the right family background, have a bad appearance, or have physical disabilities are not allowed to take the imperial examination and serve as officials.
For someone like Jiang Yihe, who has this horrific scar on his face, he probably has nothing to do with officialdom anymore, and will probably never continue studying.
"I am not talented. Although I am already a scholar, I am bound to win the exam. It is a pity that there was an accident..." Jiang Yihe reached out to touch the scar on his face with regret on his face.
This scar can be said to have destroyed his last hope.
At that time, he lost his qualification for the imperial examination and had no chance of becoming an official in the imperial examination. In desperation, he had no choice but to travel far away to find more possibilities.
In the past few years, he has tried to find a job as a master or a staff member of a high-ranking official in aristocratic families, in order to rise to the top and soar into the sky. However, the officialdom is as muddy as mud, and all the disciples are like mud. Those who hold him high and put him down do not take him seriously at all, and even show the contempt in their hearts unabashedly on their faces.
Jiang Yihe ran into obstacles at every turn, and was in poverty during this period. Finally, he made a surprising decision to leave the Zhou Kingdom and find another way to make a living.
He found out the route and followed the merchant selling goods to Jin Weiguo.
His original plan was very thorough. This Jinwei Kingdom is a nomadic people who drink blood. They are usually rough and have little wisdom. A man like him, who is well-read in poetry and books, and resourceful, will definitely be able to make a name for himself here, win the favor of high-ranking officials and nobles, and prosper from then on.
It's a pity that barbarians are barbarians. Those people only know how to wield swords and guns, and don't take poetry and books seriously at all. He also looks down on him very much, and even thinks that he is originally from the Zhou Dynasty, not as good as The noble people of Jin Weiguo only treated him like an animal and made him do things that were not even hard labor.
Seeing this, Jiang Yihe chose to escape.
This scar was left when they were chased by those people’s servants and struck with a knife during their escape.
Jiang Yihe still can't forget the pain on his face at that time, as well as the despair and fear when he saw the shining knife slashing at him.
And since he got this scar, his face was damaged, and he couldn't even find a job as a private school teacher. He had to help people copy and write letters, earn a little money, barely survive starvation, but couldn't eat. full.
It can be said that he had no ambitions, but in the end, God showed no mercy and made him live in the miserable state he is in today.
And for his misery, if we investigate it carefully, he should be blamed on one person.
Xia Mingyue.
If she hadn’t protected Jiang Zhuguo in the first place and set up a situation where Jiang Zhuguo owed money to the gambling house, why would he have no choice but to sign the divorce letter and become a person despised by everyone? Lost the qualification for scientific examination? If it weren't for Xia Mingyue's existence, he would have exchanged Jiang Zhuguo for dozens of taels of silver at that time, managed everything, successfully passed the scientific examination, won the first prize in one fell swoop, and became an official.
And Jiang Zhuguo will also be favored by Master Zhang because of his youth and beauty. If he gives birth to a son and a half daughter, he will definitely receive many rewards, and if these rewards can give him an official career , will definitely make him like a fish in water, and now he is already a high-ranking official who everyone has to kneel down to greet him!
But these are gone, gone.
The person who caused him to lose everything was Xia Mingyue!
And now that he is like this, Xia Mingyue is now famous and her family is rich. How can he endure this?
A gentleman's revenge...
Let's settle the score slowly!
Jiang Yihe thought too much in one action, and the expression on his face also changed due to the emotions in his heart.
But Du Ruian also saw that the most common thing on Jiang Yihe's face was indignation and regret, but he also felt that he could understand it.
For scholars, they have studied hard for several years in order to become famous all over the world. If their future is completely ruined because of a scar, they will feel extremely painful in their hearts, commit suicide, and give up on themselves. There are a few people who can. There are only a few people like Jiang Yihe who can face it so calmly.
"Brother Jiang, don't be discouraged." Du Ruian comforted.
"The world is impermanent, time is, and fate is, what can I do to achieve it?" Jiang Yihe sighed, "It's just that this has affected me a lot, so that now I am restricted everywhere... "
"That's all, let's not mention my matter. Du Langjun has a good temperament and is polite in his actions. He is probably also a scholar?"
"That's right." Du. Ruian nodded, "It's a pity that I have little talent and little knowledge. Now I'm just a child. I'm just waiting to take the exam again next year. I hope I can be on the list."
"Look at Du Langjun's good appearance and auspiciousness. He will definitely be able to achieve success in the future. It is just a temporary setback, so don't worry about it." Jiang Yihe flattered him and took the opportunity to look at Du Ruian again.
He is young, and is in his prime of life. The clothes he wears are not of the finest quality, but they are all made of silk. Even the purse he wears is very exquisite in workmanship. There are also a few people around him. It can be seen that people are either from a good family background or are used to showing off.
Judging from the fact that Du Ruian knew the price of tofu dregs just now, it is obviously the latter.
Such a person is full of arrogance, aggressive in doing things, and good at face. As long as he uses it properly...
Jiang Yihe has a lot of plans in his mind, but Du Ruian doesn't know it and is only listening. Hearing his words, he smiled proudly.
He is a scholar, so naturally he is full of confidence, but confidence is one thing, and recognition by others is another.
For a while, Du Ruian felt more and more sympathetic to Jiang Yihe, "With Brother Jiang's words, it's getting late. We are going to Shunyi Building for dinner. Brother Jiang will go with us?"
Shunyi Building , a very well-known restaurant in Cheung Chau Fucheng, with rich dishes and excellent taste.
Jiang Yihe was short of money and had not eaten delicious food for a long time. He naturally agreed in his heart, but he still shied away on the surface, "Du Langjun and I met for the first time, how could we..."
"You and I hit it off right away, why are you so polite?" Du Ruian didn't give Jiang Yihe any room for excuse, and stretched out his hand to hook Jiang Yihe's shoulder.
Jiang Yihe also borrowed the donkey from Poxia and went to Shunyi Tower together.
