Yang Xiang's father-in-law, Pan Guanbao, is a household servant, and his fiancé is also a young and talented man, with a dignified character and a promising future. The Yang family is a famous family in Gusu, but compared with the Pan family in Chang'an, it is far behind.

Pan Guanbao was sent by the imperial court to serve in Gusu, and Cheng Dezhang had a strange idea after getting the news: his sweetheart Yang Xiang was going to enter Pan's house sooner or later, and he might as well get in touch with the master of the Pan family in advance, so that he could enter and leave Pan's mansion in the future, and also have the opportunity to meet Yang Xiang and chat about the love of the unfathomed.

Thinking like this, Cheng Dezhang found an opportunity to hand over his name to Pan Guanbao, calling him a protégé and begging for advice. Cheng Dezhang was famous in Gusu, and Pan Guanbao got a tall foot for nothing, so he was naturally happy in his heart, so he formed a teacher-student relationship with Cheng Dezhang.

Three years later, Yang Xiang married into the Pan family and lived in Chang'an with her husband.

Pan Guanbao wanted to go back to Chang'an to recuperate due to illness, and Cheng Dezhang happened to enter Beijing to participate in the scientific examination, so he went together. After arriving in Chang'an, Cheng Dezhang ran to Pan's house under the guise of visiting the teacher, looking forward to meeting Yang Xiang under the corridor in the courtyard.

By chance, Cheng Dezhang finally met Yang Xiang, and both of them seemed to have a lot to say in their hearts, but they didn't know where to speak. Relatively silent, it only adds to the inexplicable pain.

Yang Xiang persuaded Cheng Dezhang to come to Pan's house less in the future, simply not to meet, and to leave everything in the past in his memory. Cheng Dezhang doesn't think so, he thinks that it's better to see each other than not to meet, and even fantasizes that one day he can relive his old dream and renew his previous edge.

Yang Xiang's husband was a young man, who expected that there would be unforeseen circumstances, and in the second year of marrying Yang Xiang, he died at a young age due to illness, and Yang Xiang became a widow.

Yang Xiang lost her husband, and Cheng Dezhang felt that hope was imminent, so he went to Pan's house more diligently.

The paper can't contain the fire, and the matter between Cheng Dezhang and Yang Xiang was quickly seen by Pan Guanbao. In order to take care of his face, Master Pan lost his temper through a trivial matter, and from then on Cheng Dezhang was not allowed to enter the door of Pan's house again, and the relationship between teachers and students was severed.

Cheng Dezhang couldn't help but feel melancholy in his heart, but the deadline for the Ministry of Rites exam was imminent, and he had to give an explanation to his family with good results, so he had to endure it for the time being. He forced himself to calm down and take the exam, and after the exam, the list was released, and the gold list was unknown.

The field was frustrated and depressed, and he missed Yang Xiang more and more. Cheng Dezhang simply didn't do it, and he didn't stop doing it, showing his hidden stunts, taking advantage of the dead of night, climbing over the wall to enter Pan's mansion, and sneaking to Yang Xiang's bedroom.

Cheng Dezhang proposed to elope, but Yang Xiang was a little hesitant, after all, it was a matter of overstepping etiquette and backsliding, if he was caught, wouldn't he be ruined?

Cheng Dezhang was strong-minded and persuaded repeatedly, and finally Yang Xiang finally agreed.

So, Cheng Dezhang took Yang Xiang to Youzhou City to settle down.

The reason why he wanted to come to Youzhou City was proposed by his friend Hua Yunfeng, and Youzhou City was Hua Yunfeng's hometown.

When he was in Chang'an, Hua Yunfeng was indifferent to fame and fortune and rarely interacted with people, but he was the best with Cheng Dezhang.

Whenever Cheng Dezhang came to Hua Yunfeng's house with a pack of braised peanuts, Hua Yunfeng would take out his treasured good wine, and the two talked about everything. Cheng Dezhang and Yang Xiang's feelings are clear to Hua Yunfeng, and even Cheng Dezhang's plan to elope with Yang Xiang was not hidden from Hua Yunfeng.

Cheng Dezhang and Yang Xiang went away, the Pan family gritted their teeth with hatred, and many protégés of the Pan family were angry about this matter, thinking that Cheng Dezhang was talented and unvirtuous, like a beast! So they agreed that Cheng Dezhang would not come to participate in the examination again, and if he did, whoever saw his paper would be unceremoniously removed. Although the volume is sealed, everyone can recognize Cheng Dezhang's handwriting.

Three years have passed in a blink of an eye, and the year of Dabi is here again, and the world's movers have rushed to Chang'an to take the test, and Cheng Dezhang is also ready to try again.

When he arrived in Chang'an, Cheng Dezhang didn't let the Pan family know that he lived in a secluded inn and participated in the scientific expedition on the spot. After reading the volume and unpacking it to see the results, Cheng Dezhang was actually taken as the second jinshi.

The protégé of the Pan family who participated in the marking was suddenly dumbfounded, why was he negligent for a moment and let Cheng Dezhang take advantage of the loophole?

It turned out that Cheng Dezhang had changed the font during the exam, no wonder they didn't find out! Now that the result has been decided, it is too late to change it, and Cheng Dezhang has steadily obtained the title of Jinshi. Soon after, the imperial court sent Cheng Dezhang as the director of the Ministry of Works, and the Pan family was dissatisfied after hearing the news, but Cheng Dezhang refused his official position and still returned to his hometown in disguise.

Cheng Dezhang won the first place in one fell swoop and suddenly became a celebrity in Youzhou City. Although he refused to be an official, people still enthusiastically followed him as a teacher.

Lu Ruoliang was able to invite Cheng Dezhang to be Mr. Private School, and he must have put a lot of thought into it.

……

In the private school, Cheng Dezhang held the scriptures in his left hand and his right hand behind him, leading the students to recite while taking steps, and the sound of reading aloud sounded in the private school.

There was a bamboo pole with a length of a zhang next to Cheng Dezhang's table, and Lu Xiaoxian just wanted to take advantage of Cheng Fuzi's inattention and was about to be lazy, so Cheng Dezhang hit him on the head. The house is small and the bamboo pole is long, and he can reach the head of every student in the study.

Just when the students' waists and knees were numb, dizzy, and unable to persevere, Cheng Dezhang finally announced the end of the morning class. Students come to the private school before dawn, and at the end of the morning class, there is time for the students to have breakfast.

Cheng Dezhang returned to the house and saw Lu Xiaoxian waiting for him, so he hurriedly stepped forward to salute.

Whoever is capable in the world must have thorns in his body. Cheng Dezhang is no exception, he often thinks of himself as a scholar, full of wealth, but arrogant and arrogant. When I first saw Lu Xiaoxian, I didn't care about him at all.

Lu Xiaoxian didn't care about him, but just found an opportunity to compete with him on the spot. The topic was written by Cheng Dezhang, whether it was poetry or opinions, Lu Xiaoxian was much stronger than him.

Of course, it's not because Lu Xiaoxian is really better than Cheng Dezhang. The key is that with Lu Xiaoyi here, having him is equivalent to having a library, and the two of them worked together seamlessly to achieve such a thing as plagiarism to the extreme.

Cheng Dezhang knew how to know the details, and he was completely convinced by Lu Xiaoxian in his heart, and he has been respectful to Lu Xiaoxian since then.

After Lu Xiaoxian returned the salute, he asked directly: "Why didn't Lu Wuxian come today?" ”

Lu Wuji is the fourth son of Lu Ruoliang, although he is not very old, he is diligent and studious, proficient in piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, and is a leader among all students.

Lu Xiaoxian has always paid attention to Lu Wuji, and repeatedly told Cheng Dezhang to cultivate Lu Wuji well, and Lu Wuxian did not come to the private school today, Lu Xiaoxian must have asked.

Cheng Dezhang replied: "He hasn't been here for two or three days, and according to other students, he seems to be sick!" ”

"Sick?" Lu Xiaoxian frowned, and then instructed Cheng Dezhang, "Hua Langzhong has a very good relationship with you, and when you get out of school, you invite Hua Langzhong to go to a nonsensical home, and I will wait for him there!" ”

Cheng Dezhang glanced at Lu Xiaoxian, and thought to himself: Although Hua Yunfeng and I are good friends, it is estimated that you want to invite him, which is much more useful than me.

Indeed, these two friends were both impressed by Lu Xiaoxian. The method of convincing Hua Yunfeng is similar to Cheng Dezhang.

It was one night a few days ago, and the twilight was like a great gray net, quietly falling down and covering the whole land.

A visitor came to Hua Yunfeng's house, and it was Cheng Dezhang.

"Brother Yunfeng, quickly get good wine!" As soon as Cheng Dezhang entered the house, he stacked a bag of peanuts on the table.

"You're here to drink my wine again!" Hua Yunfeng had long been accustomed to his style, although he was joking in his mouth, his movements were not slow, and after a while, a jar of wine was placed in front of the two.

After pouring a full amount of wine, Cheng Dezhang couldn't wait to take a sip: "Not bad." It is high-grade sorghum red! ”

At this time, Cheng Dezhang completely lost the majesty of the private school, but looked like a drunkard.

"Your uninhibited temperament, I'm afraid it will be difficult to change in this life!" Hua Yunfeng said with a wry smile.

"Why do you need to change it, you don't know me?" Cheng Dezhang disagreed.

Hua Yunfeng does know Cheng Dezhang, and it is not an ordinary understanding, speaking of which, they have known each other for more than 20 years.

If you think that Hua Yunfeng is just an ordinary man, then you are very wrong.

Hua Yunfeng was the only doctor of medicine in the Taichang Temple Imperial Doctor's Office, although he was only an official position in the eighth grade, but he often went in and out of the palace, and Wu Zetian often called him to see his illness.

Later, Hua Yunfeng's father died and Ding was relieved of his duties, and because he was tired of officialdom, he did not reinstate after the mourning period expired, but resigned from the official position of the Taiyi Department to open a museum in Xiangzi to practice medicine.

It was precisely because Hua Yunfeng was in Fanyang that he tried his best to invite Cheng De to come with him. When they were in Chang'an, the two were like siblings, and now that they are both free, it is inevitable that they will have a drink at the head of the two for three days!

As he spoke, Cheng Dezhang mentioned the matter of competing with Lu Xiaoxian.

After hearing this, Hua Yunfeng said for his friend: "Most of the sons of the Shi family are extraordinary, and they are defeated, maybe he is just opportunistic!" ”

Cheng Dezhang shook his head: "No, even if it is opportunistic, it is very within the reach of people to get to such a point." What's more, he's all really talented! ”

Hua Yunfeng felt strange, Cheng Dezhang had always been self-defeating, when would he respect a person so much.

At this moment, there was a knock on the door outside the courtyard, and someone shouted: "Hua Langzhong, can you be?" ”

How could anyone come at such a late hour, Cheng Dezhang glanced at Hua Yunfeng.

Hua Yunfeng didn't care, he was Langzhong, if someone got a sudden illness, don't say it is now, even if it is the third watch in the middle of the night, someone will knock on the door.

Hua Yunfeng went out and led the two people into the house in a moment.

Cheng Dezhang saw one of them and almost didn't jump.

He stammered, "Lu...... Mr. Lu, you ...... How did you get here? ”

It was Lu Xiaoxian who came, and it was Lu Xiaoyi who came with him.

"How?" Lu Xiaoxian joked, "Of course I came with the aroma of wine!" ”

After a few people sat down, Lu Xiaoxian looked at Hua Yunfeng with blazing eyes: "Hua Langzhong, let me tell you a story!" ”

Hua Yunfeng was puzzled and did not answer.

Lu Xiaoxian said to himself: "Once upon a time, there was a person named Li Shizhen, who suffered from 'bone steaming disease' when he was a child, and almost gave up his life, but fortunately, my father cured the disease with a taste of skullcap soup. Since then, he has vowed to travel all over the world, collect all kinds of home remedies, and become a skilled doctor. ”

Hua Yunfeng heard that Lu Xiaoxian was talking about himself.
