Chapter 31: Invitation
Woniu Village, Pei's family
The drizzle fell in front of the eaves, the left and right were wings, the corridor was newly repaired, a cluster of green bamboos was planted in the middle, and one or two orchids were planted under the window. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info
Pei Ziyun picked up the pen and wrote it, and there was a voice outside the steep courtyard, Pei Ziyun's pen tip stopped, and he continued to write, wrote a paragraph, and then put it down and went out of the study.
"Xianggong!" several people sat restrainedly, and stood up when they saw it.
Pei Ziyun said: "It's all in the clan, you don't have to be formal, what do you think about building a ancestral hall?"
"Xianggong, of course this is a good thing, we can all work, buy some bricks and wood to build, the ancestral field has fifteen acres is enough, can feed a clan. An old man stood up and said that he was the highest, and he had read some books, and he was originally a member of the family.
Everyone is surnamed Pei, and they do have some relatives, but they are relatively far away, and they have fled here, and there is no foundation left.
Pei Ziyun took a map, which was a simple map of the village, spread out the map, and asked, "Third uncle, are you going to choose that location to build?"
"The north of the village is the ancestral hall of the Zhang family, or where the land temple is located, we are afraid that we will not be able to occupy it, and it is not suitable. Pei Sanbo said, seeing Pei Ziyun nodded, he said: "The south of the village is good, there is wasteland, you can buy it, and several of our families live here, and they are still close to the river." ”
Pei Ziyun nodded: "How much does it cost to build in the south of the village?"
"These wastelands are five taels per acre, you can ask the official family to buy them, fifteen acres is seventy-five taels, and it doesn't cost much to build three ancestral halls, give some food to eat, buy some bricks and wood, and we can build them ourselves." "But this is also a matter of nearly a hundred taels of silver, Pei Sanbo frequently looked at Pei Ziyun.
Pei Ziyun smiled and didn't say it immediately, just asked, "Mother, there are no mistakes or omissions in the genealogy of you and Sanbo, right?"
Pei Qian said: "It's been closed a few times, that's right." ”
Saying that, when the wind is released, there are clansmen with family trees, they are originally a clan, so naturally there is no problem, at this time, everyone looked at Pei Ziyun with blank eyes.
If you build the ancestral hall, you can enjoy the incense exclusively, and that's not all, it's the business of the deceased.
And after combining the spectrum, there are talents in the clan, not to mention anything else, just drenching the tip and kicking the Hu has gained a lot of cheapness.
This is the unspoken rule of the government to collect grain, when the government collects grain, the big Hu is a measuring instrument, and the people put the grain into the Hu to weigh it.
The grain heap should be loaded according to the tip, and the grain collector will spill some grain if he kicks it at the hu, saying that this is to make up for the loss in the process of storage and transportation, but in fact it will go into the pockets of the officials - don't look at this much, there are about 10%.
This achievement of the people is related to food and clothing.
Besides, it is said that it is a great thing to be able to go to school when it is returned to the clan.
Seeing that everyone was looking at him, Pei Ziyun stopped selling Guanzi and said: "That's it, mother, you go to buy land, third uncle, you contact the brick kiln." ”
"All the money is from my family. ”
As soon as these words fell, everyone was happy, and there were people at that time who responded: "I am a plasterer, as long as I eat, I will do it." ”
"I'm here to help, I'll go up the hill and cut down some trees!"
For a while, the same clan responded, the original Pei family ancestral hall was burned down in the previous dynasty, and he was exiled here, seeing that there was a talent in the clan, and he was willing to pay for the reconstruction, he came to help.
At that moment, I also had lunch, and after discussing for a long time, I left excitedly, and shouted before leaving: "Don't worry, it will definitely be completed within a month." ”
Seeing them leave, Pei Ziyun couldn't help but smile.
For the government, of course, the weaker the clan power, the better, but for individuals and families, the more united and powerful the clan, the better.
If you are alone, you can't beg your father and mother.
This is a different position, as a smart person, Pei Ziyun stands on the ass now, and feels that the clan should be united - individuals have ups and downs, who can guarantee that they will be officials from generation to generation, but if there is a clan, they will not fall to the point of being too bad.
"Brother Pei!" Just as he was thinking, a hearty voice came, Pei Ziyun smiled and got up, opened the door, and a gust of wind and rain suddenly entered the house.
"It turned out to be Brother Tang!" The person who came was Tang Zhen.
Pei Ziyun and Tang Zhen are the same year, and their personal relationship is okay, the two saluted each other, and Pei Ziyun invited Tang Zhen into the house and sat down.
Tang Zhen said with a smile: "I haven't seen you for a long time, Brother Pei went home, but he did a big thing and wiped out the Black Wind Thief at once, which is really an extraordinary means!"
Pei Ziyun said to Tang Zhen: "It's too exaggerated, I am a scholar, and I can punish this giant thief, but I have suffered from this fang for a long time, so I implore the inspection, the inspection is an impartial person, and immediately and resolutely destroy this fang, this is all the work of the government and the inspection lord, how dare I live in it?"
This is not leaky, but Tang Zhen didn't doubt it much, and said: "No matter what, it was Brother Pei who said that he started the inspection, so he did this." ”
After a pause, he said: "But after this incident, Brother Pei is mostly at home and rarely goes out, so I don't know what to do?"
Pei Ziyun pointed to the pen and paper and said, "Brother Tang also knows that my Pei family is also an official eunuch, but it is in another county, and it only moved here when it encountered a military disaster, and it has no foundation in Jiangping County. ”
"I was lucky to be in Xiucai, I was overjoyed, but my mother still had to urge me to take the exam, the Pei family is in this Jiangping County, so it can be regarded as a stable station, my mother has this life, I can't be idle, I want to grind the gun, read more books, and try it in the autumn of this year. ”
Tang Zhen couldn't help but admire Pei Ziyun when he saw Pei Ziyun's sincere look, and said: "I heard that after Brother Pei's exam paper article was posted, many people were very impressed, saying that Brother Pei's time has come, and now Brother Pei is still working so hard, it seems that this year's autumn will definitely be successful." ”
Pei Ziyun shook his head: "In the autumn provincial test, there are 3,000 talents in the province, and only 33 people are selected, and there are many heroes in the world.
"Brother Pei is really a sincere person!" Tang Zhen also sighed when he heard it, he didn't think that this was Pei Ziyun's modesty, but to tell the truth, Pei Ziyun's article he also read, it was indeed a little hot, but to say that it was overwhelming the whole province, it was still a lot worse.
It can only be said that there is the possibility of being lifted, but there are many people who have the strength of lifting, and there are only thirty-three people who can be lifted in three years, and it really depends on the fate of the time.
Tang Zhen didn't talk about this topic, but diverted the topic and talked about some scholars, especially some talents in the same county.
Pei Ziyun listened, and was also a little interested, and smiled: "I went back to the county and only met my seniors, if it weren't for my family affairs, it would be great to visit more." ”
Tang Zhen said: "Hey, I know that Brother Pei has been doing a lot recently, but a casual visit can not only relax your mood, but also exchange articles and make friends." ”
"Recently, there was a literary incident, I think Brother Pei should go. Saying that, Tang Zhen took out a post and gave it to Pei Ziyun, Pei Ziyun was stunned, took the post and glanced at it.
"It turned out to be the county's Xiucai Literary Association, and it was a practice to invite new Xiucai to go to Luhe to play by himself. Pei Ziyun was about to agree, but he just looked at it, but saw that although Tang Zhen was smiling, he was a little nervous, and suddenly his heart sank, and he thought: "It's just a simple literary meeting, but the last time about Yinlong Temple, according to the information, Zhang Yuyu recruited outer disciples, and this Tang Zhen is afraid that he is no longer a simple scholar." ”
With this suspicion, I looked at it again, and thought to myself: "My face is pale, and my eyes are blue, I'm afraid that I have been drinking too much recently, and I have been rescued by others, and I have been estranged from each other, is it a fraud for this person to come to invite?"
This thought arose, and suddenly a thing in his previous life flashed through his mind.
In his previous life, the original owner stumbled for five years before he barely won a show, so he naturally missed it, and he didn't receive this invitation in the past few years.
But in the Jin family in the county, there is a young man named Ji Xing, who is still young, but after three years, he won the show, and he was a little rebellious, and met Zhang Yuyu, who is said to have written a few poems satirically.
Later, Jin Jixing participated in the Xiucai Literary Conference, and was suddenly reported to Xuezheng by Jiaoyu, and his reputation was reformed, and he drowned every few months - the reason for his fame was that he was drunk in the Lu River and humiliated a big young lady in public, and the upright Jiaoyu was furious because of this!
Thinking of this, Pei Ziyun nodded with a smile: "May I ask how many people will go to the Wenhui?"
Tang Zhen was stunned, so he said a few names, and in a hurry, he naturally said the names that were impressive, and Pei Ziyun was even more awe-inspiring: "That incident was very lively as a slander, so the original owner also had some impressions, these people, in the previous life, also appeared!"
What does this man want to do?
According to the booklet and the memory of the original owner, Zhang Yuyu is a monk of the Holy Gate of Prison, who has a connection with the bandits, and the last time the temple was very strange, is this revenge?
If you don't agree, I'm afraid that I will have a poisonous plan again, and I can't prevent it, so I lost the opportunity, and smiled at the moment: "Since everyone is going, how can I not come." ”
"Okay!" Tang Zhen suddenly laughed: "Brother Pei is really happy!"
And so it was settled. With that, Tang Zhen said goodbye, Pei Ziyun nodded, got up and sent Tang Zhen away.
Seeing this person leave, Pei Ziyun's face instantly turned cold, and seeing that the rain gradually stopped, but the sky was still overcast, he picked up the sword hanging on the wall and went out.
Xiucai can hang a sword, that is, he is openly holding a weapon, and now he is holding a gun license, but most of Xiucai is a pretence, and the sword is not open, and Pei Ziyun is different.
Pei Ziyun learned the mantra, although he couldn't enter the Tao without Linghui, but his physical strength had increased greatly, and his swordsmanship was only an entry according to the standards of the Daomen, but with the standards of martial arts, he had already entered the hall.
I saw that in the rain, Tang Zhen got into the ox cart, and with a scolding, the ox hurried away.
Pei Ziyun followed behind, sighing in his heart, fortunately it was just an ox cart, if the horse was riding, I am afraid it would be difficult for him to chase, and this Tang Zhen, I am afraid that there is really a ghost in my heart, he is very cautious, every time he walks on a road, he is vigilant to open the window, look behind, and see that no one is following, so he continues to move forward.
When Tang Zhen looked back for the first time, Pei Ziyun didn't check for a while, and was almost discovered, with this premise, he didn't dare to approach, and hung behind him from a distance.
I felt that Tang Zhen was even more suspicious.
