Chapter Thirty-Eight: Like the Moon and Like the Abyss
The night fell quietly, and the sky was cloudy, and there was no moon.
The courtyard of the four entrances is close in front of you, and the three-story attic in the courtyard has a yellow-orange-orange lantern hanging on the corner of each floor, and the lights are brilliant.
Xin Zhen's face was full of doubts, but he finally put away this doubt, let himself be solemn and solemn again, stepped forward, and knocked on the door.
The slightly faded vermilion gate slowly opened inward.
It's still the same porter from last time.
The other party was slightly stunned, and subconsciously had an urge to pull his legs away, and after taking a step back, he quickly stood still, and then remembered that Eleven Lang was not crazy!
"Eleven Lang, please come in, the master is in the backyard." As soon as the words fell, the half-old little guy leaned his back slightly, lowered his eyebrows and greeted Xin Xi and Thirty-six inward.
Walking into the front yard, the yard is full of flowers and trees, and the occasional breeze will bring a refreshing fragrance of flowers and plants.
The whole courtyard seemed to be empty, and it was dead and cold.
Footsteps echoed through the empty corridors.
Footsteps?!
Xin Xi was slightly startled, he only heard one footstep, only heard the footsteps that belonged to him, thirty-six did not appear footsteps, it can be said that it is because of the high martial arts, but this porter ......
After thinking about it, I reached the second half of the corridor, and as I walked, a dark shadow suddenly appeared at the end of the empty corridor.
The black shadow turned its back to the three people, and a hoarse and indifferent voice sounded: "Thirty-six, follow me!" ”。
After saying this, the black shadow paused slightly, his tone changed slightly, and there was a hint of undetectable respect: "Eleven Lang, Thirty-six has to come with me." Please forgive me! ”
The corners of Xin Zhen's mouth twitched slightly, Nima, you said forgive me, then it is definitely not for me to call the shots!
Nodding indifferently, Thirty-Six stepped forward like a nobody, followed behind the black shadow, and walked to the right.
Xin Xi continued to follow the porter to the backyard.
It was still the same courtyard before, and Xin Yi was still sitting at the stone table, his whole body sitting straight, and a trace of inexplicable majesty was exuding like this.
The last time I saw this patriarch, he was clearly a smiling tiger like a good man, but today he has become a tiger descending from the mountain?!
If it weren't for the fact that the face was exactly the same, Xin Xi really had to wonder if the guy in front of him was Xin Tier.
"I've seen the patriarch!" Xin Xi took two steps forward and saluted with his fists.
Xin Yi smiled slightly: "Coming?" Sit! ”
Xin Xi stepped forward calmly and sat on the stone bench.
"I heard you've been tossing and turning Keju lately?! The final was also set in Xinjiazhuang, and it was set on February 12?! Xin Ti asked slowly.
Xin Zhen nodded.
Xin Ti's face suddenly became pale, and the momentum of the tiger descending the mountain appeared again: "Confused!" is very talented, why don't you continue to travel with Su Zizhan and others, and get some market tricks?! Don't you hear of Wang Anshi's "Hurt Zhongyong" written 20 years ago?! ”
Hurt Zhongyong?! I know that!
Xin Zhen suddenly felt so familiar, but he never expected that Hurt Zhongyong would be written by Wang Anshi twenty years ago?!
Paralysis, this is one of the ancient texts he doesn't remember much, and he originally planned to copy it himself when the time is right......
Xin Xi complained secretly, but at the same time nodded to indicate that he had heard of it.
"Ever heard? Since you've heard of it, why don't you study hard to prepare for the imperial examination, but instead get mixed up with the hooligans in the market?! The more Xin til spoke, the more angry he became, and the tiger demeanor that he had managed to maintain immediately turned into hysteria.
Xin Xi was speechless for a while, but he felt warm in his heart, no matter what, whether Xin Tier had other purposes or not, this kind of care similar to his parents, he hadn't felt it for a long time......
"Patriarch! The boy will definitely work hard to prepare for the imperial examination. ”
Xin Xi said this according to Xin Ti's meaning, but suddenly asked: "It's just that Jiangmen and Wenchen are incompatible, and the ancestral family law set by Taizu has the emphasis on literature and suppression of martial arts, and the kid is a disciple of Jiangmen, if he participates in the imperial examination, will there be anything wrong?!" ”
"Wrong? What's wrong?! Emperor Taizu's decree, people in the world, all the people of the Great Song Dynasty, can be subject to the imperial examination! ”
"However, throughout the one hundred and fifty years of the Great Song Dynasty, there has not been a disciple of the General Sect who has passed the imperial examination...... "Xin Xi's tone weakened a little.
“……!” Xin Ti was angry for a while: "Eleven Lang, toss and bow again, the old man will break your legs!" ”
"Why?!"
"It's only been two days, and you're stupid! If it goes on like this......"
I...... Day!
You're so stupid, your whole family is stupid...... Wait, it's not the whole family, it's you, your room is all stupid......
"In the past hundred and fifty years, the reason why the children of the sect have not been born in the imperial examination is not to restrict the generals from the imperial examination, but to fail the imperial examination every year!"
When Xin Yi said this, he said earnestly: "Do you know Yin Zhu?" He once said to Di Qing that even if he commanded millions of troops, restored Youyan, and played Kaitai Temple, it would not be as glorious as the champion and the first. Since the founding of this dynasty, he has ruled the world with scholars, and he can't punish doctors, but doctors in this dynasty are precious! However, Jiangmen has been repeatedly suspected by officials. ”
"Now, my Xin family is the last one in the gate who still holds the real power, in the second year of Jiayou, Di Qing died, and your father was angry with the official family, Jiayou five years, and all the three rooms were killed...... The Cao and Liu families are very smart, and by marrying with the official family from generation to generation, it is no problem to keep the family rich. But my Xin family, the old man is worried that my Xin family, sooner or later, like the Yang family and the Shi family, will slowly decline, and even after one or two generations, our children and grandchildren will really never turn over! ”
"When you came a few days ago, you showed your ability to make arguments, and the name of Xiyuan Xin 11 shows that you are quite good at poetry, and your poetry is excellent! Since you have this talent, you should go to the imperial examination and change the path of the Xin family! ”
Xin Zhen frowned slightly: "Change the way? What does the patriarch mean that the Xin family is going to change all civil officials?! If all the generals think like this, then when Hu Lu goes south, who will resist?! ”
"Someone resists!" Xin tiller said unceremoniously.
Xin Zhen shook his head: "What if others can't stop it?" Ruo Da Song ...... Annihilation?! ”
"The country and the world! First there is a home, then there is a country! Finally, it's the world! Xin Ti got up abruptly and slapped the stone table!
"His Zhao family doesn't care about the country, and my Xin family is not only serving the country, but also seeking the future of the family, what about it?!"
Xin Xi was slightly incredulous, and at the same time, there was some inexplicable anger in his heart: "Why is Wuguo a home?!" One must build on a firm foundation?! Once the country is messy, the people will be displaced, have the patriarchs ever heard the poems "Three Officials" and "Three Farewells"? Can you bear to watch the mountains and rivers shatter and the lives of people are destroyed?! ”
"His Zhao family is patient, why can't the old man bear it?!" When Xin Til said this, he sat down dejectedly: "Do you know that fifty years ago, Kou Gong ruled the world, and before the Yuanyuan Alliance, if it wasn't for Kou Gong forcing Emperor Zhenzong to drive the imperial expedition, the Great Song Dynasty would have been destroyed at that time. Kou Gong, who worked hard for the country's social service, has been demoted and died of illness in Leizhou 20 years ago. Similarly, Di Qing, who has been fighting in Western Xia for more than ten years, was not also degraded and rotten to death in Chenzhou? ! ”
Speaking of this, Xin Ti looked bitter: "My Xin family is even more so, the old man has nineteen brothers, and now, there are only two ...... left."
Xin Xi shook his head: "If everyone thinks like the patriarch, why don't you go north and call yourself a minister, learn from that Shi Jingjiao, and give up my Han family, maybe you will be saved from many killings!" ”
"But I know, patriarch, you can't do it, you can't be a vassal to the north! Even if the patriarch can do it, how many people will be willing to do it, the children of the Xin family?! Xin Zhen got up, stretched out his finger, and pointed to the sky: "There are still people working hard, Wang Anshi writes every year to ask for innovation, Su Zizhan is enthusiastic about serving the country, Ouyang Gong is also painstaking, the Great Song Shengmin, up to Xianggong, down to Li Min, are all the heart of serving the country with fists." The Great Song Dynasty is not the Great Song of one person, but the Great Song of hundreds of millions of people! ”
"The Hebei Army is still resisting Liao, and the Western Army is fighting against the Western Xia every year, those soldiers, who has complaints?! Even if they are defeated every year, they will still face it every year! ”
"But to make the dragon city fly, don't teach Humadu Yin Mountain! Today, I swear to the sky that I want to be another flying general, and I am willing to follow Huo Qu's illness and seal the wolf Juxu! ”
“……!” Xin tiller was speechless.
I don't know if it's a coincidence, or what, as Xin Xi's words were spoken, the dark clouds in the sky gradually dispersed, and the light of the first quarter moon at the beginning of the month fell again.
Xin Zhen smiled slightly, and continued: "Therefore, I will get rid of anyone who stands in my way, including Xin Baiwu!" On the day of the final conclusion of the ancestral hall, the patriarch can watch the play! ”
After speaking, Xin Xi didn't care what Xin Ti thought, turned around and left.
Just watch a show?!
Xin Xi sat in place, he called Xin Xi over today, just to stop Xin Xi's actions against the big house.
But after going around, I didn't expect him to be turned around by a seventeen-year-old child.
can recall Xin Zhen's words, but the bottom of my heart is touched.
"Old, old!"
"Lang Jun is not old! It's old, and it's also Lian Po Huang Zhong! The porter appeared in the courtyard at some point, and he was followed by a dark shadow, who was the one who had taken away the thirty-six.
"Xin San, how's it going?" Xin Tiller asked.
The black shadow was silent: "Thirty-six is extremely convinced of Eleven Lang!" ”
"Really?" Xin: "What about you, what do you think of him?" ”
Xin San paused: "When you swear by the sky, it is like the moon, and if you are plain, it is like an abyss." ”
"Month? Deep pool? In the past three years, this kid has really dreamed of fairyland? But are there really immortals?! Is there another fairyland?! Xin Ti muttered to himself, but confusion appeared in his eyes.
