Chapter 101 Good and evil are rewarded
On Jeju Seongbuk-ro, a gorgeous horse-drawn carriage stopped in front of the high gate of a large mansion. Yan Junqing got out of the carriage and walked into the compound thoughtfully.
"Gujiazhuang in Yuncheng County, then this Gu Haotian is not the jade-faced Meng Wei who is famous in Jingdong."
Yan Junqing muttered to himself and walked inside, outside the Gong Courtyard, he suddenly felt that this name was very familiar, after getting confirmed, he was really a little surprised, such a legendary figure, I thought it was a heroic man on the rivers and lakes, but I didn't expect it to be a young man who was free and easy in the scientific examination field, and he also got acquainted with him miraculously.
Just thinking about walking all the way, suddenly a person rushed out of front of me.
"Dismissal, what are you thinking?"
With a crisp sound, behind the rockery on the side of the road, a little lady of twelve or thirteen years old suddenly appeared.
"Dead girl, scare me." Yan Junqing was taken aback, turned his head and scolded with a smile.
"Uncle, they are all waiting there, only I came out to meet you, and I was scolded, I really don't know the hearts of good people." The little lady pouted and glared at him.
"Okay, my cousin will apologize to you." Yan Junqing pretended to salute.
"It's not far off, I'll report it for you."
The little lady smiled, just like a newly blooming flower, beautiful.
Looking at his light back, Yan Junqing shook his head, but he looked doting.
Let's say that after Gu Haotian returned to the inn, he took a bath for half an hour and changed two large buckets of water before he came out lightly. Xiao let them go out to celebrate, but after eight days of "cage" life, Gu Haotian was already physically and mentally exhausted, and everyone saw that his interest was not high and pushed it to tomorrow.
At noon the next day, Gu Haotian had just gotten up and finished washing, when he heard Bian Xiangyu report that a guest had visited. He thought about it carefully, there didn't seem to be any acquaintances in Jeju, so why did someone visit him just after the exam. Hurriedly arrived in the front hall, only to see Yan Junqing, who had just met in the Gongyuan, sitting there.
"Brother Yan, I have been working hard in the field for days, why don't you rest for two days first, but I came here early." Gu Haotian hurried up to greet him.
"It's not your fault, the famous jade-faced Meng Wei sat opposite me for eight days, but I realized it later, how can I rest at ease." Yan Junqing said humorously.
"What jade-faced Meng taste, it's all rumors on the rivers and lakes, you see that I have a little bit of a look." Gu Haotian deliberately grimaced.
"Not like that now."
Yan Junqing saw that Gu Haotian was so casual, and he was no longer restrained, so he said playfully.
Then the two looked at each other and laughed. Since Gu Haotian had just gotten up and had not eaten, Yan Junqing happened to be there again, so he called Xiao to ask everyone to go out to find a restaurant and make up for last night's banquet.
At the banquet, Gu Haotian and Yan Junqing chatted while drinking, from astronomy to geography, from officialdom to people's livelihood, from external troubles to internal worries, the two talked about everything, but they each had a deeper understanding of each other.
Yan Junqing is very knowledgeable and has a wide range of knowledge, and it is commendable that there is no lifeless twilight like some Confucian students, which Gu Haotian appreciates very much. Gu Haotian's knowledge blends the ancient and modern, the views are novel, and the concept is advanced, which often gives people a refreshing feeling. Yan Junqing thought that he was extremely knowledgeable, and he was absolutely crushed in front of the "Jianghu celebrity" Gu Haotian, but as the conversation deepened, he found that not only did he not have the slightest advantage, but he couldn't keep up with the other party's thinking in many aspects, and even some topics he couldn't talk about at all, so he couldn't help but be secretly frightened, thinking that this young "Jianghu celebrity" would definitely become a "Shilin celebrity" in the future, and couldn't help but secretly rejoice that no matter what else in this scientific expedition, just getting acquainted with this jade-faced Meng Wei was earned.
A drink lasted more than an hour before everyone dispersed.
"Brother Haotian, two days later, on September 25, Jeju scholars will gather in the chrysanthemum garden in the north of the city to enjoy the flowers, and the brothers must come." Yan Junqing sent out an invitation when he was leaving.
"If you don't understand poetry, I'm afraid that it will hurt everyone's feelings, so I won't go."
Gu Haotian knew that most of these kinds of gatherings were places for literati to buy their talents, and he was not good at it, so he didn't want to go.
"How can my brother say this, it's all a gathering of today's scholars, so what poems are good or bad, and that chrysanthemum is really gorgeous, don't refuse." Yan Junqing refused to let go.
"In this case, it is to go to the appointment when the time comes." Gu Haotian had no choice but to respond.
After drinking for a long time, when he returned home, Yan Junqing already had five or six points of alcohol.
"My cousin smells of alcohol, and he drinks a lot of wine there." In the corridor, Yan Junqing met the pretty little cousin again.
"Cousin, guess who I drank with today." Yan Junqing was still interested and laughed at his cousin.
"You bunch of fox friends and dogs, I know it's that unbearable character." This cousin is also sharp-mouthed and sharp-toothed.
"This one is not an ordinary character, it is a friend I just met in the Gongyuan, I can't imagine that he is young, he has created a great fame, and he has such an extraordinary talent, he is really unseemly."
"People can't look good, it's none other than you, a new friend, who is extremely ugly." Cousin teased.
"No, my friend's sword eyebrows and starry eyes are magnificent, but he is better than Pan An." Yan Junqing praised his friend's appearance, "It's just that he is only twelve or thirteen years old, so I said that people can't look good." ”
"At the age of twelve or thirteen, he has sword eyebrows and starry eyes, and his aura is lofty." The cousin listened to his cousin's words and read it silently twice, but suddenly asked. "The boy has a mole on one of his earlobes."
"I'm looking at this very carefully." Yan Junqing looked at his cousin strangely, "Why do you ask what this is for?" ”
"I won't tell you." The cousin suddenly got angry, turned around and left, but she looked full of worries.
"This girl, what's wrong today." Yan Junqing looked at the distant Qianying, a little confused.
After a free drink at noon and a half-day of sleep, Gu Haotian finally made up for the sleep owed in the tribute courtyard. When he had nothing to do in the evening, he asked Xiao Rang to lead the way and go to see the night view of Jeju.
The last time I came to Jeju, I was on a mission, although there were a few days, but every day was like a war, and there was no moment of leisure, but this time it was rare to be free, so everyone set off with Xiao Rang with great interest.
Jeju's prosperous Seongdong is the most prosperous, and the bustling Seongdong is by the lake and riverside. In the evening, the red lanterns under the cornices of various shops are lit up one after another, and the whole street is floated with a dark red halo, chasing the lively people, walking through the cool evening breeze, relaxing their mood.
From the riverbank to the lakeside, Gu Haotian and others strolled leisurely. Under all kinds of signboards, rows of shops gradually extend in the eye, and the sound of music, noise, and shouting enters the ears; Tea houses, restaurants, joy houses, eye-catching buildings; It's also a prosperous scene.
A group of people walked and played, and then arrived at a teahouse called Tingtao Building, only to see that it was in the place where the lake and river meet, but it was a good place to watch the scenery, and everyone walked in. The guy led up to the second floor, found a private seat by the lake, served fragrant tea and pastries, and everyone enjoyed the scenery while drinking tea.
"Little official, is this more beautiful than West Lake?" Pan Jinlian touched the scene and remembered the West Lake in the legend of the White Snake.
"Each has its own strengths, the West Lake is as beautiful as a woman in the boudoir, and the vastness here is like the Kansai Han ......"
Before Gu Haotian's words fell, an exaggerated voice suddenly came from the neighboring seat.
"Ladies and gentlemen, you said that everyone in this world who is a parent wants their son to become a dragon, but it seems that such an elder who does not know the depths of this autumn is considered to have seen it."
"How can Brother Wang say that?"
"I don't know, this township test, there is a boy in his early tens sitting opposite the lower house, four games and eight days, in addition to eating and sleeping, the rest of the time is biting the pen to the test questions stunned, I have been reading the book of sages for a long time, and it is still difficult to pass the imperial examination, and the ignorant layman has sent such drifters to be with us, which is really an insult to the reader." The surnamed Wang seemed to hate the disease and sighed.
"It's really unbelievable that there is such a thing."
"This tribute courtyard has now become accessible to everyone, which is really a misfortune for me and other scholars!"
……
Then a group of people talked about it, but their words were more outrageous than the other, as if they couldn't show their identity as a superior scholar without reprimanding.
Gu Haotian sat next to him and listened, and gradually felt that something was wrong, these people seemed to be talking about him, so he found an excuse to leave his seat and go around to take a look, but saw that the man sitting in the middle was the thirty-year-old Confucian who was sitting opposite him in the examination room. I can't help but itch the roots of my hateful teeth, this old boy himself didn't offend him in half a bit, but he maliciously slandered him here, and used his elders to slander, it was really unbearable for uncles and aunts. He stared at the group, his eyes rolled and he took it into account, and after returning to his seat, he whispered a few words to Shi Qian, and Shi Qian got up and left.
About a quarter of an hour later, I heard someone next to me shouting for water, so someone came over with a kettle to refill it. At this time, I saw that Shi Qian also returned to his seat, and then Gu Haotian and Bian Xiang and Ruan Xiaoqi made a look, and the two of them already knew it, so they left their seats.
Let's say that the group talked for a while, and one of them said that he had a stomach discomfort and wanted to go to the toilet, but when he said this, the others seemed to be infected, and they all had a reaction, and they were all busy getting up and wanting to go out. Who knew that there were two big men standing at the door of the elegant seat arguing, blocking the exit tightly, and several scholars were not allowed to squeeze out left and right, at this time, I don't know which one couldn't help it first, and leaked out a stomach of filth, and then the other few were like leaky balls, and they all opened a dyeing workshop, and for a time the teahouse was stinking.
"Wu Na scholar, why are you shameless, how can you treat the teahouse as a thatched house, you have to read all the books into the dog's belly."
At this moment, the two men who were arguing at the door suddenly stopped and shouted like a gong.
People were disgusted by the sudden stench, and when they heard the shouting, they all gathered around, covering their noses and pointing, as if watching a monkey show. But he said that the four or five men were standing there, all dirty, and wished that there would be a hole under their feet.
"If I don't take revenge, I won't be a man."
I saw the sad cry of the surnamed Wang, covering his face with his sleeve and running towards the stairs, so in the coaxing of the people on the first floor, those people dragged all the way to the stains.
In the crowd, Gu Haotian looked relieved from afar, and he sneered in his heart: Damn, no matter how high a sage is, he is not no match for a little croton powder, you must know that Lao Tzu is also a person who pays attention to good and evil.
