It was night, and Qian Jin was tossing and turning in bed. Regarding the case sixteen years ago, my uncle's words flickered, and it seemed that he would not let him intervene. It stands to reason that his uncle is the secretary of Guangdong Province, specializing in criminal cases, and Shaozhou is under his jurisdiction, so the information he has is naturally the most complete. It seems that this matter is not so simple, and I will have to investigate it privately in the future.

The next morning, Wen got up early to cook the meal, and the family finished it quietly. Wen Tianzheng made an exception today and drank some wine.

After eating, Qian Jin asked Wen Tianzheng to sit down and took out the prosthetic leg from the house. Last night he polished it and padded some leather and cotton to add comfort.

"Jin'er, what are you doing here?" Wen Tianzheng said.

"It's a prosthetic leg that will get you back on your feet." Qian Jin put the prosthetic leg on his grandfather's severed limb and fixed it with a leather rope. After some busy work, Qian Jin helped his grandfather stand up and said, "Grandpa, try to walk a few steps." ”

Wen Tianzheng lifted the broken right leg, and he was still a little unaccustomed to it for a while. He tried to take a step by holding on to the door frame, and his heart was overjoyed, so he gently pushed Qian Jin in, signaling him not to hold on.

Qian Jin took a step back, but his eyes were carefully watched to prevent his grandfather from falling.

Wen Tianzheng tried to take a few more steps, perhaps because he was too happy, his steps were a little hurried, and he almost fell down. Qian Jin hurriedly stepped forward to support him and said, "Grandpa, after this prosthetic leg is installed, I still have to practice." ”

"It's already very good, I can't imagine that I will be able to walk on my own when I am old. I have long heard your uncle say that you like to delve into these strange and ingenious things, and today I know that what you say is true. ”

"Grandpa, as long as you can make things convenient, what about tricks and tricks?"

"Look at you're in a hurry, I didn't say anything bad. You are much better than your uncle, he is just too pedantic......" Wen Tianzheng pointed to Wen Xun's head and continued: "This prosthetic leg, if it can be used by those disabled soldiers in the future, their lives will be much better." ”

"Father's lesson is ......," Wen Xun said cautiously.

Qian Jin saw that his uncle was embarrassed, and hurriedly said: "It's not too early, grandpa should go into the house early to rest." ”

"Well, it's a long way to go to the capital, so pay more attention to everything. Shousuke is there, and he has time to go and see if his old bones are still useful. Wen Tianzheng commanded.

"Jin'er knows ......"

After Wen Tianzheng finished giving the order, Uncle Wu helped him into the inner room to rest. Wen Xun waited for his father to enter the house, and then changed as if he was a different person, feeling much more relaxed. He glanced at Qian Jin, and said, "Jin'er, go to the capital, don't forget what you are told......"

Qian Jin grinned and hurriedly said, "What my uncle ordered, my nephew must have done it properly." Wen Xun nodded with satisfaction and went to the backyard.

Qian Jin and Lao Qian, Wen and Bao'er are also different.

Lao Qian said: "I have everything in the family...... If you don't stay in the capital well, you can come back. ”

Wen also said with tears in his eyes: "Jin'er, remember to add more clothes when it's cold." In the capital...... Don't save too much......"

Bao'er is okay, in her eyes, her brother is an omnipotent character, he can catch a tiger in the mountain and catch a dragon in the sea, all of which were poisoned by the stories told by Qian Jin when he was a child.

Now Bao'er has become a slim young girl, with fair skin and eyebrows like powder, but her face is still as round as when she was a child, which makes people want to pinch it. I saw her Yin Tao's small mouth open and said, "Brother, I heard that there are many women in the capital, don't learn badly." Emily wants me to take a fancy to you. ”

Qian Jin smiled awkwardly, and said in his heart that he really lifted a stone and shot himself in the foot. When she was a child, she was instilled with too many ideas of equality between men and women and feminist ideas, and now her sister never forgets to remind him not to forget Emily.

Just as he was about to go out, Wen Xun led a white horse out of the backyard. Qian Jin looked at it, the horse was estimated to be old, the mane on the neck was also sparse, and there were several leprosy on his body. However, the horse seems to have just been brushed, and it is still clean.

Wen Xun handed the reins to Qian Jin and said, "This is Erya, and it often went to the capital with me back then. With it by your side, you will have to take a lot of detours when you go north. ”

Qian Jin looked at the horse's buttocks and said in surprise: "Mother? ”

Wen Xun was about to explain something, but the horse seemed to be unhappy, snorted at Qian Jin, and sprayed him with a spit on his face, as if he was very dissatisfied with Qian Jin's rude behavior.

Qian Jin wiped his face with his sleeve embarrassedly, and said, "Uncle, it's not a day or two for your nephew to go to the capital, so why don't you send some calligraphy and paintings that you are proud of." What's the deal with giving me an old horse, hehe...... This horse is quite vindictive. ”

Wen Xun smiled proudly, and pretended to be profound: "Remember to serve her well on the way...... There are benefits for you. ”

Qian Jin took the package that Wen had made for him, waved his hand to everyone, and led Erya away with sadness. He doesn't know how to ride a horse, but his uncle asked him to take Erya, and he has to feed him with grass along the way, I really don't know if it's a man riding a horse or a horse riding a man.

……

When a man and a horse came to a place called Shili Pavilion, they stopped.

Shili Pavilion was originally a pavilion. Ten miles from Pyeongchang to send guests out, this is the place to break up. At this time, a middle-aged scholar in the pavilion was standing with his head held high.

The scholar was in his early thirties, wearing a green cloth gown, a square scarf on his head, and was of medium height, although he had a delicate face, his eyes were bright.

Seeing Qian Jin, the scholar raised an arm, stroked it lightly on his thick beard, and said in his mouth: "Knowing good and knowing evil is conscience, and doing evil for good is a thing." ”

The middle-aged scholar's praise is from the new Gewuxue. When Qian Jin's mentor Yang Yinghe wrote the new Gewu Study, he emphasized that this new Gewu method should be used for good, so he wrote this article in the first sentence of the preface. Since this middle-aged scholar knew this, he must be one of Yang Yinghe's disciples.

Qian Jin tied the second girl to the pavilion pillar, arched his hand towards the middle-aged scholar, and asked, "Dare to ask if it is the senior brother or the second senior brother?" ”

The middle-aged scholar smiled slightly and said, "The contemptible Song Tianxue is the teachings of the Pingchang Mansion. After all, I should be Master Yang's second disciple. ”

Qian made a salute and said, "Master Yang often mentions the two senior brothers, but I have been nesting in Guanhai City, and I only have to meet today. "Back then, when Qian Jin was apprenticed, he asked about the two senior brothers. It's just that Yang Yinghe felt that Qian Jin was still young, so he didn't tell him. Unexpectedly, today, the second senior brother Song Tianxue was actually waiting here.

Song Tianxue nodded with a smile and said, "Master Yang also mentioned the little junior brother to me a few days ago, saying that if the new Gewuxue is to be carried forward, this heavy responsibility has to fall on you. When I saw it today, my junior brother was really different from ordinary people. ”

"Master Yang has been to Jiangxi?" Qian Jinqi said.

Song Tianxue nodded and said. After Yang Shi traveled north, he successively lectured in academies in Guangdong, Fujian and other places. The new Ge Wuxue was born, and some people called Yang Shi a contemporary sage. Two months ago, Master Yang was lecturing in Jiangxi, and we had a small gathering. Now he has traveled to Jiangsu. ”

Hearing that his teacher's doctrine was well received, Qian Jin also felt comforted. It took him eight years to write the new Gewuxue, in which the ideas are self-contained and can be extended to guide all walks of life, and it is not an exaggeration to be called a great sage.

Qian Jin hadn't heard from Yang Yinghe for a while. Today, not only did I hear the movements of my teacher, but I also saw the second senior brother who I had never met, and I was in a good mood, and said at the moment: "I knew that my senior brother was in Pyeongchang Mansion, and I should have visited him in the morning." ”

Song Tianxue raised his hand and made a gesture of invitation, signaling to say while walking. Qian Jin hurriedly led Erya to follow.

Along the way, Song Tianxue explained: "Actually, junior brother, I know that you came to Pyeongchang Mansion, but Old Man Wen is happy these days, so I didn't come to bother." This time I met with my junior brother, firstly, I recognized each other, and secondly, I came to ...... In the past few years, I have also written a "Tiangong Examination", which involves all walks of life. The junior brother went to the capital to see if there was a chance to dedicate it to the imperial court. If this book can be promoted and benefit the people of our country, it will be a great achievement. ”

After that, Song Tianxue took out a book from his pocket and handed it to Qian Jin, feeling like sending his daughter to get married.

"If you have time, you can also read this book. Over the years, I have traveled a lot of places, consulted many farmers and craftsmen, and spent a lot of effort to write this book, which should still have a lot to offer. Song Tianxue said.

Qian Jin carefully glanced at the catalog, and saw that it talked about boiling salt, farming, sericulture, silk weaving, smelting, etc., which was really a big encyclopedia, and its value was immeasurable. If Chen Guo can vigorously promote this book, it is possible to increase the national strength by several steps, depending on whether the power knows the goods or not. So, he saluted Song Tianxue respectfully and said, "Senior brother will spare no effort in what the senior brother entrusts." ”

Song Tianxue nodded with satisfaction.

The two of them talked as they walked, from officialdom to roasted sweet potatoes, from various plants to smelting. Qian Jin benefited a lot from this conversation. I have to say that except for Qian Jin, Yang Yinghe and several of his disciples don't like to be officials. Yang Yinghe is a teaching, and Song Tianxue is also a teaching. It is said that the senior brother did not even do an official at all, and walked between famous mountains and rivers every day, fighting swords and chivalrous righteousness, which made Qian Jin envious.

Unconsciously, the two of them had walked out of ten miles, and if they walked again, they were almost out of the boundary of Pyeongchang Mansion. Qian Jin bowed and saluted, and said, "Senior brother, stay and come back to Jiangxi to ask for advice later." ”

"Well, talking to my brother is really a great pleasure in life. Next time, we'll talk by candlelight. ”

"Must ......"

After that, Qian Jin put the luggage on his back and led the second girl slowly towards the north.
