The promotion that everyone expected did not come, only the party Jiang Anyi knew what was going on, and walked out of the imperial study after being reprimanded, he was really relaxed, and he was both surprised and admired by Zhang Keji's inference, and he couldn't accept it, it seemed that he really had a short experience.

Returning to the Ministry of Rites to continue to be an idle outsider, Jiang Anyi, who was deeply touched, felt that he had not learned enough, and ran to the bookstore after he dispersed. I bought a whole bunch of them and forced myself to read them every day. Reading is like that, reading and reading becomes a habit.

About Xinfei, Shenlong saw the beginning and the end, Jiang Anyi had the heart to find each other nowhere to find, one day at the end of October, someone sent a letter in front of the door, Jiang Anyi personally opened. When I opened the letter, the beautiful font inside had long been remembered. The letter was very long, and the meaning of lovesickness overflowed on the paper, and Xin Fei wrote in the letter that she went to Wuliang Mountain Middle School to learn art, and the matter was so hasty that she couldn't say goodbye; Write down the hardships of learning skills in order to meet as soon as possible; Writing art into the loss of going down the mountain but not having the chance to meet; wrote about the loss of Jiang Anyi's concubine; Write about the urgency of going to the desert, and write about the helplessness of the official......

At the end of the letter, Xin Fei wrote: The slave and Lang Jun made a three-year covenant, and within three years, the slave should try his best to make great contributions to the country and the teacher, and after three years, the slave will break away from Longwei and marry the Jun family. I sighed and missed it. Xinfei on. ”

Jiang Anyi got up and took out the brocade box from the box, the yellow flannel cloth was as new, and the tears on the green flute were light. The flute sounds, remembering the deceased, telling the meaning of lovesickness, and playing the inseparable feelings. Thoughts are like the wind howling outside the sky, and a petal of heart incense floats alone, and it is good to be happy.

After a song, Jiang Anyi stroked the Xiangfei flute with his hand, and a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth. It's hard to stay, it's fragile, three years, I'm twenty-three years old, Xinfei is only twenty-five years old, and there's still a lot of time to wait. Let us each work hard, and at that time, I, Jiang Anyi, will marry you in a beautiful manner.

Shishi's studies are confused, not to mention that compared with Fan Zhichang, Dong'er also left him far behind, and this kid's cleverness is all used for play. Seeing Jiang Anyi shaking his head and sighing, the stone was full of uneasiness, and said ashamedly: "Childe, it was the stone that disappointed you." But I'm so wild that I can't calm down to read, and I want to get sleepy when I pick up a book. ”

People have their own ambitions and can't be forced, Jiang Anyi asked gently: "Stone, then what do you want to do in the future?" ”

"Childe, can you teach Shi to practice martial arts, Shi wants to be a hero." The stone was full of hope, and his hand couldn't help waving and making a motion.

Alas, alive and one An Yong. Jiang Anyi was angry and funny, and scolded: "Others can't ask me for teaching, you still pick and choose, even if you practice martial arts, you have to know Braille, how good it is to be both civil and military." ”

Shi smiled and said: "Childe, you teach Zhichang in Wen, and I will inherit the martial arts, and when the time comes, if there is something to do with the disciples, you can sit at home and enjoy the blessings." ”

In this way, every morning when I got up early, there was more shouting in the yard when I practiced martial arts, and Dong'er was woken up, touching the empty quilt next to her, full of resentment.

Li Lai and his wife took over the business of Xinqi liquor, and the business of the old couple was doing well, and Xinqi liquor opened up its reputation in Beijing and became a hot commodity in low-end liquor stores. The two couples accumulated five or six hundred taels of silver in half a year, and simply rented a house not far from the store, and the family moved there to live, Li Shicheng reluctantly moved out of Jiangfu with his parents.

Nearly 10,000 people went to Beijing to take the exam, but those who could win the exam were only two or three out of a hundred, and Li Shicheng was only twenty-five years old, and he was ready to take the exam two or three times, if not, he would find a way to run for an official. With Jiang Anyi's brother-in-law here, Li Shicheng is not worried at all.

Most of the people who fell behind wanted to return to their hometowns and come back after three years. There are also thousands of people who do not want to spend their time on the way to and fro, they either look for fellow villagers, or find Taoist Buddhist temples, or a few people share a small courtyard, meet together to visit friends, participate in various gatherings, and by the way, make a name for themselves in Beijing, and prestige is also a great help for the imperial examination.

Li Shicheng is well-known among the people who have fallen behind, first of all, with the help of Jiang Anyi's fame. The gold-lettered signboards of Sanyuan and the first champion Lang and Jiangnan Cixian are very popular in Shilin, which is more attractive than the official rank of the Ministry of Rites.

Secondly, the scholars of Zechang Academy were originally known as the "Ze Party" in the court, and the older generation of senior brothers and teachers were eager to take care of these rising stars, and these people would become one of them sooner or later.

Speaking of Jiang Anyi, he is an outlier, and when he enters the officialdom, he offends the officialdom because of the Qing Dynasty, and he is called a second stunned person in the officialdom. Of course, with the growth of Jiang Anyi's holy family, the current "Ze Party" is eager to take Jiang Anyi in its arms, but it used to be ugly, but now it has to be "shy and timid" and slowly win over.

Third, Li Shicheng himself also has talent and learning, and after a few poetry meetings, every good work comes out, especially at the word meeting held by Shen Guogong with the words of "Sauvignon Blanc" and is praised, "Yan Chengshuang." Butterflies in pairs. Fly to the willows. Ask Eindi to be busy. Green screens. Seal incense. Afternoon dreams are full of books. The sound of chess is long in spring" was widely sung by Qinglou, and was jokingly called "Li Chengshuang" by the people of the time.

The most important point is that Li Shicheng has money and leisure, compared with most poor scholars, Young Master Li is now full of money, not to mention that Li Lai and his wife give him twenty taels of pocket money every month, and if he has no money, he will go to his sister Dong'er, and now the little rich woman Dong'er has a high vision, and her shot is fifty taels. Calling friends to the restaurant to spend once, at most only one or two pieces of silver, leaving a reputation for righteousness and generosity, this transaction will not lose in Li Shicheng's opinion.

Jiang Anyi's return contributed to Li Shicheng's idea of association. There are many Jingshi clubs, only a lot more than Zechang Academy, many clubs are famous in Kyoto, the president enters and leaves the prince's mansion to become a guest, and the member Qinglou restaurant has a good reputation, which makes Li Shicheng's eyes very red.

At first, Li Shicheng was trumpeting Jiang Anyi as his head, and he was an old man who was not allowed to be the vice president, carrying the banner and being majestic. Jiang Anyi had no interest in this, so Li Shicheng came to take advantage of the excitement and returned in defeat. As smart as Li Shicheng, of course, he will not be knocked down by a small failure, Jiang's brother-in-law is reluctant to come forward, so he has to go out himself, and the name of the society is thought of, taken from the couplet that Jiang Anyi gave him at the beginning: The sword is sharpened from the sharpening, the plum blossom fragrance is from the bitter cold, and the name of the society is the Sharpening Society.

Of course, the establishment of the Fengfeng Club also had to use the name of Jiang Anyi, and invited the hotel several times, and the heroes of my generation gathered under the banner of President Li. Under Li Shicheng's painstaking management, the Lifeng Club has grown from a dozen people to more than 30 people in two months, and it is already a large-scale club in the capital.

The growth of the club has to be said to be the credit of Li Shicheng, some people rush to the dinner once every ten years, usually have a bitter cold, may as well join the club to fight the tooth sacrifice. Li Shicheng often hinted to his brother-in-law that Jiang Zhuangyuan would personally participate in club activities and personally guide the writing of poems, and many people went to the name of Jiang Anyi's word immortal. Of course, Jiang Anyi would not go to participate in Li Shicheng's poetry club, and he refused several times, so he was dragged by Li Shicheng to have a meal together, which greatly boosted the morale of the members of the poetry club.

Immediately afterwards, Li Shicheng copied two small poems written by Jiang Anyi from his brother-in-law's desk, which was a sensation, and for a while, there were many people who sought to join the society.

After participating in several inter-club assemblies and competitions, the reputation of the Lifeng Society has soared, and in the snowy winter of Yongchang City, the Lifeng Society is prosperous.

In recent years, the "Ze Party" has been weak in the DPRK, and the older generation of Gao Guangyuan (died of illness), Cui Yuanzhi (Zhishi), Wei Mingyuan (two years ago was replaced by Huang Sheng, Zhishi), Fan Yanzhong (Zhishi) and others either died or retired, and faded out of Kyoto, and the rest was Wei Huaichao in the Imperial History, Deng Huaisu in the Ministry of Rites, and Yu Mingyang, the Tongshi Sheren, and others could not carry the banner, and the only hope to take over the banner was that Fang Linbin, the assassin of Chenzhou, performed mediocre in the Qing War and had no hope of entering Beijing.

Ze retreats and Zhang advances, and Pan Linfeng, the leading figure of the chapter party, occupies an important position, openly and secretly promotes and reuses the officials from the Zhangyi Academy, so that the originally weak "Ze Party" retreats again and again in the officialdom, and his voice is weak. In addition, Wei Huaichao was pretentious and unwilling to get involved, and it was difficult for Kyoto to compete with Deng Huaisu and Yu Mingyang alone.

The appearance of the Sharpening Club made Deng Huaisu see hope, firstly, there would be follow-ups, and secondly, he would use this to pull Jiang Anyi into the team. Deng Huaisu and Yu Mingyang frequently appeared in the rallies of the Sharpest Society, which greatly boosted the morale and prestige of the Sharpest Society.

In December, Jiang Anyi received several letters. The family letter was written by Yan'er, and Jiang Anyi was relieved by the handsome and elegant Xiaokai, and my talented girl was not inferior to herself. The letter is a common thing, chattering although trivial, but it reads kindly, seeing the letter and thinking people, Jiang Anyi is like being at home, talking and laughing with his mother, An Yong, and Yan'er. Sometimes I think about it, the period before the entrance examination is the happiest time.

The other is Zhang Keji's letter, he has successfully arrived at Jiang's house, there is Jiang Anyi's letter, Jiang Fu regards him as a guest, and he looks at him more than Mr. Zhou. Zhang Zhen and Yan'er are of the same age, and they soon fall in love with sisters. After Zhang Keji watched coldly for nearly a month, after receiving the support of the Jiang Huang family, he began to rectify the Jiang family's business, and even drove several people from his uncle's family, and the atmosphere of the Jiang Mansion changed.

After doing these little things, Zhang Keji devoted himself to the construction of the Jiang family's century-old foundation with great enthusiasm, with the addition of this son of the family, the amount of work suddenly increased several times, and the silver was used faster than the flowing water, Zhang Keji's letter was to ask for money, and 100,000 taels of silver was not enough to spend in a year.
