Pei Ziyun was walking a mantra in the courtyard, saying that this beast play looks similar to the fitness method circulated among the people, the movements are slow, and everyone who watches them thinks that the reader is exercising, and they don't think about it.

After these few times, unlike the sweaty days earlier, I just feel warm now, and I secretly think: "My body is completely healthy after all." ”

"The first weight of the cultivator is the physical body, and those Taoists told me that the tenfold is actually what it means, the first and second layers are health, and the third and fourth layers give birth to breath, and replacing it with martial arts is the so-called internal force, right?"

"It's a pity that this step must have a spiritual root, everyone in this world has it, and the spiritual root is big or small, superior or inferior, but I stopped at this step. ”

"However, this kind of internal force is not so magical, it cannot be extraordinary, this stage is to eat a lot of food, can eat several bowls of rice at a time, and eat catties of meat. ”

"Five or six times can be strong, physical strength is more than double that of ordinary people, you can only sleep four hours a day and be full of energy, and you can also do it at night. ”

"Seven or eight times can give birth to great strength, strength can hold heavy bows, lift boulders, put on armor, and can kill in and out of the battle array, and brave generals. ”

"Ninety years can be rigid and soft, set my previous life, similar to the light and dark in the novel, if you raise it without using it, you can end up at the age of 100, and you are a human immortal!"

"If you are more than ten, you can enter the Tao. ”

"Even if I don't have a spiritual root, the true preaching method is extraordinary, plus this body is young, I haven't released the sun yet, and I am making rapid progress, and now I am a double consummation. ”

But it's too late, and today's practice can be finished when it reaches this level, so I take the pill and drink the rice wine, and I can't help but feel happy.

At this time, Chen Yuan came earlier, and when he saw Pei Ziyun change his clothes and come out, he hurriedly greeted him.

"Lead the way!" Pei Ziyun held a folding fan and waved his hand, which was even more chic, and this Chen member even lowered his head and led the way with a smile.

A hundred steps out of the county seat, there is a dike.

The air on the side of the river is fresh, and when you reach the embankment, you can see the nearby villages at a glance, and everyone is busy at this time, even the women and children of the family are playing straw mats, weaving fishing nets, and weaving gauze, and they are not idle for a day.

But that's how life is in the countryside.

Fortunately, after the war, there were few people and many lands, and the people worked hard, and the income was enough to feed themselves, so everyone seemed to be happy.

"If in a few years, the population multiplied, and the land gradually became unusable, there would be no such atmosphere, and after the middle of the dynasty, the neighbors and relatives broke up because of land lawsuits, and there were often incidents of disharmony. ”

When I arrived at a village and arrived in front of a house, I heard a Lang Lang's reading voice: "The way of university is in Mingmingde, in being close to the people, and in stopping at perfection." Knowing and then there is determination, and then being quiet can be quiet, and then being quiet can be peaceful, and then being able to consider, and then being able to achieve. ”

Pei Ziyun stopped and looked at this family: "Is this this one?"

"Yes, the former dynasty raised people from the Gao family, but now they are down, Xianggong, I'll go and ask. Chen Yuan said diligently, only to see that the scholar and the old mother were wearing patches, living in a mud house, and the home was very barren, but Chen Yuan had just gone in, and had already taken it out, so he listened to the shouting inside.

"Don't sell, don't sell, how can this be sold as an ancestral book, son, if you want to sell, step over your mother's body!" The scholar was still a little moved, and an old mother stopped him.

"Who is this?"

"Oh, I want to buy the Gao family's book, and I have published 800 articles, but I don't sell it. ”

"Oh, let's come up with a show, it's not a good sign to sell the ancestor's book, no wonder it doesn't sell!"

"Xianggong, you saw it, the Gao family refused to sell, what should I do?"

I have seen the book, although it is a little distance, but the plum blossom senses, it is clear that there is indeed sustenance in it, Pei Ziyun thought: "The sustenance is difficult to find, I have found several houses, but there is no sustenance, even if there is, or the sustenance is low-level, useless to himself, or unwilling to sell." ”

But the more this is the case, the less urgent it is, the original owner is too urgent to find a flaw for others. ”

At that moment, he shook the folding fan and said: "This son is not rare here, there are many old books in the world, return it to him, go, let's go to the next one to have a look." ”

"Yes, I also found one in this village, son, let's go and have a look, if not, we have to try our luck in another village." ”

Pei Ziyun followed, and after a moment, he listened to Chen Yuan's voice, "Xianggong, this is the fifth family." ”

led forward, only to see a big mansion in front, the house is a little dilapidated, but there is a lion at the door, the door is painted with red paint, and there are two wooden plaques inlaid on the pillars.

Chen Yuan led Pei Ziyun to the side, and said: "This is the family that is going to go, the glory of the ancestors, the second-class jinshi who once won the previous dynasty, the official to the squire, but after the war to the current dynasty, it was completely broken, and there are only a few acres of land left in the family." ”

"The mansion we passed by just now is the house before this, but now it doesn't belong to this house for a long time, and it was sold to someone else. ”

When I got closer, I realized that there were fences made of bamboo around the huts, and an old woman was playing with vegetables in the garden.

In this fence yard, there are green onions, garlic, greens, turnips, etc., and this old woman is playing with these greens, weeding, turning the greens to remove insects.

At this time, the sound of recitation came from the room, and it was repeated several times before it continued with a new sentence, which made people's hearts sink when they heard it.

Chen Yuan stepped forward and shouted at the door: "Zhang Zeng, Zhang Zeng, I have a good deal to find you, come out quickly, miss this time, there may not be such an opportunity." ”

The voice inside the door was a pause, and it sank and was a little depressed.

Chen Yuan seemed to know, went straight forward, pushed the door into the room, and shouted to a scholar inside: "Hey, Zhang Shusheng, you talk up, if you want, take the book out, let Pei Xianggong take a look, Pei Xianggong is also a scholar, both civil and military, a few days ago he made a plan to exterminate the Black Wind Thief, but it was Aiwen, especially the book written by himself, and now he is looking for it everywhere." ”

"Your family has an autograph written by your ancestor Jinshi, if you want, you can sell it to Pei Xianggong, Pei Xianggong is generous, and he will not lose you. ”

As Chen Yuan spoke, he heard a sigh inside.

This Zhang Zeng is not young, about thirty years old, wearing a long shirt, some dirt on his clothes, with some patches, his hair is messy, his eyes are a little dark, and he seems to have stayed up all night reading hard, and his face is tangled at this time, and he is still hesitating.

Chen Yuan stepped forward and said: "Zhang Shusheng, think about how long your mother hasn't seen meat, think about the silver taels you need to catch the exam, you refuse to sell books, and you refuse to do things, relying on the old mother to plant a little land to maintain, what if you are a talent again?"

Zhang Zeng's mouth was a little squirming, and he wanted to say something but couldn't say it, when he was young, the world was in turmoil, and when he arrived in Taiping, he failed to pass the government examination for two consecutive times, and his family became increasingly poor.

Zhang Zengshen sighed, stretched out two fingers, Chen Yuan was happy, and said, "The scholar has promised? Two taels of silver is also appropriate." ”

Zhang Zengsheng blushed: "It's twenty taels of silver, I won't sell it without twenty taels of silver, you must know that this is the handwriting of the former dynasty Hanlin, without this number, I don't want to sell it." ”

Listening to the scholar's sky-high price, Chen Yuan scolded angrily: "What a poor scholar, do you know how much money 20 taels of silver is? This is the price of two acres of paddy fields, you are just a book, why is it worth two acres of high-quality paddy fields?"

It's just that Chen Yuan is willing to wear out his mouth, this Zhang Zeng is only willing to sell two taels less, and he refuses to sell it any less, which makes Chen Yuan a little unable to hold his mind, so he has to come out in frustration.

Pei Ziyun actually heard it earlier, but asked, "This scholar refuses to sell?"

Chen Yuan was a little depressed: "This scholar is willing to sell, but he just said that this book was made by Hanlin in the previous dynasty, and it was written by himself, and he had to get twenty taels of silver. ”

"Want twenty taels?" After staying in this world for a long time, he knew the value of twenty taels, Pei Ziyun couldn't help but smile dumbly, in fact, the Hanlin handbook, if it is popular, can also have this price, but the outdated Hanlin handbook is not worth the price, two taels are about the same.

"However, I actually heard the name, Zhang Zeng, I remember that when I took the exam, this person won the show. ”

"And Hanlin handwriting, if there is sustenance, how can twenty taels not be worth it?"

"You can make a good connection. ”

Thinking like this, he said: "You go and ask Zhang Zeng to get the book, if it is appropriate, you can naturally discuss." ”

Chen Yuan went in and said, and after a while, he led a middle-aged man out, with patches on his body, his hair a little messy, and a book in his hand.

Zhang Zeng came to Pei Ziyun, seeing Pei Ziyun so young, a trace of envy flashed in his eyes, and handed over the book, the cover text was square, like a carved engraving, Pei Ziyun then came over to take a look, checked, at this time the plum blossom petals moved, this book is the object of sustenance, I couldn't help but be overjoyed, but I didn't move, and I waved at Zhang Zeng: "It turned out to be Brother Zhang, I have also heard of your name in the township." ”

"As for the price of this book, ......" Pei Ziyun deliberately stopped, looked at the hut with his eyes, and said, "Brother Zhang is poor. ”

Seeing Zhang Zeng's complicated expression and a little ashamed, he said slowly: "Your ancestor is Hanlin, but this book is worth it, how about I give thirty taels?"

As soon as they heard this, Chen Yuan and Zhang Zeng couldn't help but be stunned, only to hear that someone cut the price, how could there be a price increase, for a long time, Zhang Zeng suddenly woke up, this book is already a sky-high asking price, not to mention thirty taels, his face rose red, and he said again and again: "How can it, how can it be?"

Pei Ziyun sighed: "Zhang Hanlin I is famous, I admire him very much, I invited his book, and I asked for advice day and night, these thirty taels, Brother Zhang and take it, with Brother Zhang's talent, he will not live in this mansion for a long time, and he will be able to ask for advice sooner or later." ”

As he spoke, he took out three silver tickets, all of which were ten taels.

Zhang Zengsang's face was red and he didn't want to accept it, but when he saw his mother's haggard body, his eyes immediately turned red, and he was about to cry, and he choked up at the moment: "Brother Pei's great kindness, I can't express it, I'm ashamed to accept it." ”

Pei Ziyun sneered, gave the silver ticket, took the Hanlin letter, and was overjoyed, this former dynasty Hanlin returned to the previous dynasty, and he was also a genuine Jinshi.

The two left, Chen Yuan's face was full of envy, Pei Ziyun's heart moved, and he suddenly had an idea, and said: "Chen Yuan, you are doing a good job, I will give you another errand, assist my mother, find some fields in the countryside for me, it is best to put together the whole field, and then I will look satisfied and have my own reward." ”

As he spoke, he threw over a piece of broken silver: "This is two taels of silver, it is your reward this time, if you do something for me, I will not lose you." ”

Chen Yuan was overjoyed, took the silver, lowered his head and said to Pei Ziyun: "Dare not serve the son." ”
