It was already mid-morning, and it was about ten o'clock in the future.

Several fast horses galloped from the Southeast Avenue panting, and soon passed through the city gate into Xianyang City to merge into the bustling flow of people, and then turned around through the streets and alleys, and finally stopped in front of a deep house compound in the west of the city.

"Uncle Liu and Sanniang are back!" Two healthy servants dressed neatly in gray burlap clothes at the door immediately greeted them, and the other hurriedly turned around and went in to make a report.

A few people turned over and dismounted and hurried into the gate, while two healthy servants led a few horses to the stable to wash and feed the grain.

"Hey, sure enough, Xiaomei and Uncle Liu are back!" As soon as a few people stepped into the front yard, a handsome young man in his twenties hurriedly came out of the room wearing a navy blue tight-fitting narrow-sleeved military uniform, and saw a few people hurriedly greet him in surprise.

"I've seen the second son!" The middle-aged man and the three soldiers hurriedly clasped their fists and saluted.

"No courtesy ......" Before the young man could finish speaking, the girl in the blue dress didn't even look at him, and ran directly into the inner courtyard from beside him with a tight little face holding a package.

"Uncle Liu, third sister, why is this?" The young man's hand was stretched out in the air and stunned for a long time.

The middle-aged man smiled bitterly and said: "Second son, Sanniang almost caused a big disaster in Pheasant County, and the master ordered me to send her back, all the way to the torrential rain and muddy and difficult to walk, and it was delayed for ten days!" ”

"Then you should also hurry up and wash up and rest, and I'll ask myself!" After speaking, the young man turned around and returned to the inner courtyard.

"Mother~, I met a mountain and wild man in Pheasant County, he not only beat my ass, but also snatched the sword that my eldest brother gave me to repair the latrine, my father doesn't care about me, and he doesn't make decisions for me, woo woo......"

Before the young man entered the house, he heard the girl's cry from inside, and a few black lines suddenly appeared on his handsome face.

In the room, the girl in the blue dress was lying in the arms of a middle-aged beautiful woman and crying coquettishly.

"Who is so bold as to dare to bully my baby daughter, when your eldest brother comes back, I will let him help you avenge!" The middle-aged beauty hugged the girl's heart and soul and comforted her with a continuous voice.

"Mother, you still spoil her so much, I just heard Uncle Liu say that my little sister almost got into trouble in Pheasant County!" The young man strode into the room and said.

"Hmph, what a catastrophe, it's just a horsewhip that whipped a people, and those people fled around like rats......"

Before the girl's words were finished, not only the young man's face turned white, but also the face of the middle-aged beauty.

"Alas, Yue'er, you're so old, it's time to find a husband to marry!" The beautiful woman looked at her daughter's little face with a servant, and couldn't help but sigh, "Your father told me about this last time he left Xianyang, and he wanted to marry the Zhao family of the CRRC Mansion, and his fourth son Zhao Zhe is eighteen years old, and he is just as compatible with you......"

"Mother, I don't marry!" The girl jumped up and shouted.

"How can you not marry when you grow up, your father has already asked your grandfather to mention it to Zhao Fuling, and he also agrees to this family business, and recently I heard that Zhao Zhe has joined Hulang, if you marry him, your status will definitely not be lowly in the future, after marrying your husband and children, you must not be rude and willful, and lose the reputation of my Jiang family......"

"Don't marry, don't marry, I've seen Zhao Zhe, he looks so cold, don't say anything, and he fights cocks and lackeys all day long, and he throws pots and spends all day drinking and hugging the little lady and kissing and teasing, I get angry when I see it!" The girl's anxious face turned white.

"Mother, the little sister just came back, this matter is still being discussed later, not to mention that even if the little sister wants to marry, she has to wait until her father comes back!" The young man felt a little unbearable in his heart, and hurriedly said beside him.

"Okay, Yue'er, you go and freshen up first, and then go to see your grandmother and uncle, as well as your aunts and brothers!" The beautiful woman nodded helplessly.

"Hmph, I knew that you were in a hurry to marry me off in order to find a backer for the Jiang family!" The girl grunted her mouth and walked away.

"Xing'er, you are optimistic about Yue'er recently, and don't let her run out to be naughty and cause trouble again!" The beautiful woman sighed and sat down slowly on the couch.

"Yes!" The young man smiled wryly and nodded, turning to leave.

……

Outside the south of Xianyang City, a large river sparkles around the city.

Large tracts of farmland are criss-crossed, and golden wheat waves rise and fall in the wind, looking like gold everywhere in the sun.

Thatched houses with wooden and stone structures are dotted among them, forming villages one by one, and the sounds of chickens and dogs are heard.

At this time, the summer grain is already half green and not yellow, and it is not far from maturity, and countless farmers are working in the fields under the scorching sun.

And on the edge of the Wei River, a wooded river bay, there is an area of seven or eight acres of manor seclusion in it, most of the buildings in it are wood and stone structure, the central wooden building is about ten meters high, up and down two floors, although the roof is still covered with thatch, but it stands out like a flock, looks tall and majestic.

In a spacious room on the second floor of this wooden building, next to each other are filled with low wooden tables, on which are piled up with a roll of curly yellow bamboo slips, as well as brushes and carbon ink, and a group of young students wearing thin linen gray cloth robes are kneeling on the puff mat, listening to a white-bearded old man on the couch in front of him unfolding the bamboo slips and shaking his head and reading the Book of Poetry aloud.

"The fire flows in July, and the reeds fall in August. Silkworm moon strip mulberry, take the axe. To cut far away, the girl is ......"

"Moo~"

To the sound of the old ox, an old ox cart creaked along the bumpy dirt road through the woods, and soon entered the manor.

The students by the window on the second floor suddenly turned their heads to look down, and saw five or six middle-aged scribes jumping down from the ox cart, tidying up their clothes one by one and walking towards the wooden building.

The old man reading on the stage frowned slightly, stopped reading, put down the bamboo slip in his hand, stood up, walked to the window, and looked down, his brows furrowed even higher.

"Wait until you familiarize yourself with this article, and I'll go to meet the guests!"

After the old man finished speaking, he slowly walked out of the room and went downstairs with his long beard, and then happened to meet a group of middle-aged scribes who came in.

"After Langya, learn to pay an to meet Yuliang Gong!"

"Hedong Houxue Qiu Cheng to meet Yuliang Gong!"

……

Seeing the old man, a group of middle-aged scribes folded their fists and bent down to salute.

"It turned out to be a few Xianyang celebrities, old and unwelcome!" The old man also bowed his hand, but there was no joy on his face.

The old man's name is An Yuliang, the teacher inherits Xun situation, and Li Sinai, the left minister of the Great Qin, is the same brother, but he does not like to enter the court as a minister, and because Li Si is gradually becoming stronger, he implements more and more stringent laws and regulations in the government and the opposition, and the people and businessmen and even the officials and generals are all dissatisfied, An Yuliang also feels that the Legalist concept promoted by Li Si is becoming more and more paranoid and ruthless, so he is even more reluctant to get involved in the affairs of the court, and he lives in seclusion on the bank of the Wei River every day to teach students, and mainly teaches some subsets of the history of the pre-Qin period and the principles of governing the country on weekdays, and cultivates the indifference and peace of temperament.

And the six middle-aged scribes in front of them, the small ones are more than thirty, and the big ones have passed their forties, and they are not considered unknown people in Xianyang City, from all over the country, but they are more miscellaneous, and they are pretentious and noble, so they gather together on weekdays to talk about it, of course, more often they are mixed in the cool house song garden to talk about the wind and the moon, and they are cultured, but they don't like it.

According to later generations, these people are a group of cultural gangsters, who organize some lectures on weekdays to cheat some activity funds, and they are considered to be a few well-known hooligans in the cultural circles.
