I am a thief in the Tang Dynasty

"Your father and brother are rare wise and brave ministers and generals."

"Especially your brother, who is so brave and invincible that he is known as a match for ten thousand men!"

"When he was in Wagangzhai, he had close relations with many dukes of the time. It's a pity that he didn't surrender to a wise leader afterwards. It's a pity."

Pei Xingjian came from a typical family of officials. Not to mention his ancestors, his grandfather and brother were both remarkable figures. His grandfather was appointed as Guanglu Dafu since the Sui Dynasty, and his brother was a brave general who was known for being able to defeat ten thousand enemies.

Later, his father and brother joined Li Mi of Wagangzhai, and had close relations with Li Ji, Cheng Yaojin and others.

Unfortunately, his father and brother were defeated in battle and were recruited by Wang Shichong, and finally died tragically in the second year of Wude.

Pei Xingjian could be said to be a pure descendant of the Wagang clan. Therefore, when he passed the Mingjing exam later, he was accepted as a disciple by Su Lie and Su Dingfang because of his literary talent and martial arts, and was soon given an important position.

At this moment, Pei Xingjian couldn't help but shed tears when his deceased father and brother were mentioned, but he had a very good impression of Fang Yiyi.

After all, if someone remembers your dead father and brother and praises him without any courtesy, how can you have a bad impression of this person!

Pei Xingjian sighed and said: "My father and brother are no longer alive, but Sanlang still remembers them and keeps his promise. I am touched!"

As he spoke, he picked up the wine cup in front of him and poured it out on the ground to commemorate his dead father and brother.

Afterwards, drunk and depressed, he opened his heart to Fang Yiyi and told him about his sorrow.

Pei Xingjian was full of confidence in classics and current affairs, and he was also an outstanding calligrapher with beautiful handwriting.

But as for his talent in poetry and prose, he can only say that he is ashamed of his teacher.

Therefore, if he wanted to pass the imperial examination, he had to be blessed by God and have a burst of inspiration during the exam, which was undoubtedly a fantasy.

Pei Xingjian's classmates all suggested that he take the imperial examination and study poetry and prose diligently, hoping that he would suddenly become enlightened and be able to write poetry and prose.

If you take the Mingjing exam, although it is safe, the entry level to officialdom is low. If you want to achieve something, it is extremely difficult in the early Tang Dynasty when the country was founded and there were many talented people.

Pei Xingjian's lineage placed high hopes on Pei Xingjian, who was extremely talented in both literature and martial arts, hoping that he could pass the imperial examination, revive the family fortune, and save the family that was on the verge of decline.

Moreover, his childhood sweetheart sent a message saying that her family had said that if Pei Xingjian wanted to marry her, he must pass the imperial examination and become a Jinshi, otherwise the two of them would be destined to be apart.

What finally crushed Pei Xingjian was one of his classmates.

He took part in the Spring Examination in February, and the results were announced a few days ago, and he passed the Jinshi examination with good results. When celebrating at the Spring Banquet in Qujiang, he kept saying that Pei Xingjian was better than him.

Pei Xingjian, who missed the Jinshi exam this year, must take part in the Jinshi exam three years later, and he will surely be able to rank among the top three!

For various reasons, Pei Xingjian, who had originally planned to take part in the autumn examination and take the Mingjing exam, was hesitant.

After listening to this, Fang Yiyi looked at the young boy Pei Xingjian and shook his head helplessly.

He was still young and inexperienced in the ways of the world. Although he had a heart to serve his country and the ambition to revive his family, his mind was not strong enough.

Especially when people are talking nonsense, even if Pei Xingjian has made plans in his mind, he will be swayed and his mind will be shaken.

Chapter 188: Don’t look down on the young and poor!

After listening to this, Fang Yiyi pondered for a moment. Facing Pei Xingjian's inquiring gaze, he said seriously:

"Brother Shouyue, with your Pei family's knowledge, it goes without saying that you must have amazing talent."

"Since you have the ambition to make achievements and serve the country, and to revive your family, and you also know that both the Mingjing exam and the Jinshi exam are for serving the country, why should you let others shake your decision that you have made long ago?"

"A man should be patient and tolerant. If you are shaken by a few words from others, when you become an official in the future, wouldn't it be that you are ambitious but weak, and you will be led by others? How can you take on great responsibilities?"

Pei Xingjian's face suddenly turned pale with lingering fear, and he sobered up a lot. He quickly bowed to Fang Yiyi with his arms crossed in gratitude and said:

"Sanlang is right. Thank you for your enlightenment. I will keep my promise and learn from you!"

Fang Yiyi accepted the gift calmly, then picked up the wine jar and wanted to pour wine. Pei Xingjian quickly took it and filled the glasses for both of them. After clinking glasses, they drank the wine together.

Fang Yiyi continued:

"Brother Shouyue, you have missed this imperial examination. If you want to participate, you have to wait for three years. However, the Mingjing exam can still be held this autumn. Why waste three years?"

"You are sure to pass the Mingjing exam, and you will enter the officialdom three years earlier. With your talent and the old friendship of the Wagang clan, your achievements in three years will definitely be higher than the starting point of passing the Jinshi exam!"

"The most important thing is that the Tang Dynasty has a lot of work to do and is in need of talent. Your Majesty is kind and wise, and is eager to recruit talented people. Your Majesty will surely see that you are talented and that it will only take a few years for you to become successful!"

Fang Yiyi's reflections made Pei Xingjian suddenly realize, and he murmured:

"Yes, in three years, if I have talent, I will surely stand out and make achievements to gain the attention of Your Majesty. Why should I wait for three years?"

"Besides, my poetry is really bad, and I may not be able to pass the imperial examination in three years. I might just waste my time!"

Fang Yiyi smiled and nodded:

"exactly!"

"Besides, your childhood sweetheart's family simply hopes that you can succeed and marry the daughter of their family."

"You can discuss with him. Even if you become an official with the title of Mingjing, within three years, your achievements will far exceed those of a Jinshi. By then, you will still be able to marry the beauty!"

After a pause, Fang Yiyi smiled and said:

"Brother Shouyue, as the old saying goes, things change over time, but here, I will change it and give it to you!"

Pei Xingjian immediately saluted and asked respectfully:

"Please tell me, Sanlang, I will keep my promise in mind!"

Fang Yiyi's eyes lit up, and he said with high spirits:

“Three years in the east, three years in the west, don’t look down on the young and poor!”

Boom!

A thunderclap appeared in Pei Xingjian's mind, and he murmured:

“Three years in the east, three years in the west, don’t look down on the young and poor!”

"Don't bully young people into poverty!"

Hahaha!

A hearty laugh came from Pei Xingjian's mouth, attracting the attention of all the drinkers in the tavern.

When they saw that they were two handsome young men with extraordinary temperament, their eyes were filled with sighs and envy.

Everyone has a time when they are young and carefree, but unfortunately time passes and we can never go back to those good old days when we were full of vigor and vitality.

Pei Xingjian's bright smile and handsome appearance attracted the passionate gaze of the Hu girl who was dancing in the tavern.

However, his eyes were firm, and he was full of youthful vigor. He said to Fang Yiyi loudly:

"Thank you for your teachings, Sanlang. I will keep my promise in mind and engrave it in my heart!"

Fang Yiyi stood up and said with a smile: "Then I would like to congratulate Brother Shouyue in advance on passing the imperial examination and becoming a pillar of the Tang Dynasty in the future!"

Chapter 189 Getting up early to practice with my wife, happiness

Pei Xingjian looked serious, crossed his arms and bowed, and said with great ambition:

"I will definitely live up to Sanlang's expectations!"

The two talked for a while, and both admired each other's talents. They had a great time talking and forgot everything else.

Li Siwen came out to look for Fang Yiyi who had not returned from the toilet for a long time.

Fang Yiyi decisively pulled Pei Xingjian into the box and introduced him to everyone.

Pei Xingjian's speech and behavior were well-mannered, and because of his father and brother's relationship with the Wagang lineage in the court, he immediately integrated into the group of Duan Yan and others.

Everyone drank and talked happily until the evening.

Fang Yiyi brought five young men who had just entered the brothel and were reluctant to leave back to the manor.

He was a little tipsy, and after taking a shower and changing his clothes, he hugged his wife, talked to her affectionately for a while, and then fell into a deep sleep.

The next morning, it was not yet time to get up and exercise.

Fang Yiyi, who was sleeping soundly, felt his nose itchy.

A sneeze!

After sneezing, he was greeted by his wife's mischievous smile.

The sky was getting light and the room was dim and dim.

My wife's stunningly beautiful face is gentle and charming.

The smooth snow-white shoulders, exposed from the brocade quilt, are crystal clear and radiant.

"Hehe, husband, I woke you up, please don't teach me a lesson~"

A playful and charming voice floated into Fang Yiyi's ears.

Fang Yiyi smiled, feeling the fullness of the hanging.

"Xueying, do you want your husband to stop teaching you a lesson, or does he want you to be taught a lesson?"

Chai Xueying's cheeks immediately flushed, her eyes were filled with lust, and she looked at her husband's handsome face in a daze.

Fang Yiyi lifted the brocade quilt and the beauty was right in front of him.

The warm quilt disappeared, and the chill of the morning made Chai Xueying shiver. She leaned against Fang Yiyi and said in a soft voice:

"Husband, you are so annoying~cold..."

During these days, Chai Xueying trained Xue Li and others throughout the spring, summer, autumn and winter, and Fang Yiyi was accustomed to seeing his wife's heroic side.

Jin Chen's charm and fragility immediately made Fang Yiyi feel an extreme sense of contrast!

Fang Yiyi chuckled, drew his sword and rode his horse. He suppressed the throbbing in his heart and admired his wife's beautiful figure.

The curves are so well-proportioned that they are dazzling.

On the slender waist, the vest line floats with the breathing.

Everything you see is so perfect, as if it is the most proud masterpiece of the Creator, making you unable to take your eyes off it.

Chai Xueying felt the amazement in her husband's eyes, and couldn't help but raise the corners of her mouth proudly, and said temptingly:

"Does it look good?"

"Gudong! Beautiful!"

Fang Yiyi answered without hesitation and swallowed his saliva.

Then, he pounced on him impatiently.

The early bird catches the worm!

The blood-pumping moans echoed throughout the house.

Then, there was the most primitive echo.

Lichun and Lixia, who were on duty outside the door, suddenly became clear-headed.

The two women looked at each other and saw the shyness in each other's eyes.

Then, the two girls leaned back in tacit understanding, so that their heads would be closer to the door, so that they could hear the sound that made their whole body numb.

......

A morning exercise that is as gentle as a fountain of water and milk can help maintain physical and mental health and promote spiritual transcendence.

Fang Yiyi walked out of the room with his wife, looking refreshed. The sweetness on his face was enviable.

As soon as they went out, they saw Lichun and Lixia with blushing faces and evasive eyes. The young couple had no idea what was going on. They smiled at each other and walked out of the house.

In the village, the widows were already working in the fields, creating a thriving scene.

Outside the village, the Snow Leopard Guards and seventeen young men were running towards the rising sun, shouting slogans loudly.

Chapter 190 The descendants of the Yuan Cong imperial guards must be trained hard

Further out, a hundred vigorous and brave young men were standing in straight military posture, looking at Xue Li and others running on a flat open space with serious expressions.

The eyes of these hundred people were full of curiosity and unwillingness to accept.

They are all the imperial guards who protect the emperor. They are descendants of the Yuancong imperial guards. Although they have never been to the battlefield, they have been trained since childhood and will become the new imperial guards when they grow up.

As long as they go to the battlefield and experience the baptism of blood and fire, they are destined to become the most elite soldiers in the Tang Dynasty.

Once you have accumulated a certain amount of military merit, you can take part in the assessment of the Xuanjia Army.
