Qin Jiaoyu lives in the city not far from the Yamen, it is a courtyard with two entrances and two exits, simple and dignified and does not seem cramped, the courtyard is not big, it is full of all kinds of flowers, there are a few magnolia plants in front of the house and behind the house, at this time in midsummer, but there is no flowering.

"Childe, please!"

An old servant took Liu Yuanshan and Xiao Qi all the way through the shady courtyard, walked to the backyard, and said to a wing room on the east side: "The master has been waiting for the son for a long time!" ”

I've been waiting for you for a long time, and it's almost the same!

Liu Yuanshan said a word in his heart.

It turned out that he went to visit the Qin Sect's Mansion, and he was cold outside the door for half an hour before entering the courtyard.

Asking Xiao Qi to hand over the gift to the old servant, Liu Yuanshan straightened up, tidied up the robe on his body a little, and entered the half-hidden study of Qin's teaching.

Seeing a thin old man standing in front of the case, Liu Yuanshan knelt down with a clean and neat "plop", kowtowed to the old guy, and said, "Student Liu Yuanshan, meet Mr. Tai!" ”

Sir, it's always right to shout Mr. Tai.

The old man was naturally Sect Qin, after listening to Liu Yuanshan's words, he didn't raise his eyelids, and whispered a soft "um" in his mouth, and then said, "Get up!" ”

"Don't dare!" Liu Yuanshan kowtowed again and said: "Before the family teacher went to Xiangyang, he repeatedly told the kid to come to visit Mr. Tai more, and the kid arrived at this time, and he was so guilty!" ”

"Get up!" Qin's voice was long, and he finally raised his eyelids and glanced at Liu Yuanshan, put the big pen in his hand on the pen mountain, saw Liu Yuanshan stand up, and said: "Your master admires you very much, but it's a pity that your kid doesn't take the scientific exam, it's really strange and weird!" ”

"Live up to Mr. Tai's expectations, and please forgive me!" Liu Yuanshan was respectful at the moment, like an obedient student.

Sectarian Qin couldn't help but smile and said, "The article teaches Er Cao, and the Son of Heaven is heroic. The hall is full of Zhu Zigui, all of whom are readers! Don't indulge in miscellaneous ways and abandon your studies, do you really want to be a bustling businessman? ”

As soon as it came up, it was Datong's preaching, Liu Yuanshan was speechless on the surface, and he was slightly resistant in his heart.

"Come, see what I've written?" Sect Qin waved his hand.

Liu Yuanshan bowed his head, slowly walked to the table, and looked at the rice paper, which turned out to be a few lines of poetry: "Gu Wei is an ant, but he asks for his own hole." Hu is a big whale, and he is like a big whale. To misunderstand physiology, shameful things. The vultures have been endured to this day, and they have not been in the dust. ”

After reading these poems, Liu Yuanshan felt very uncomfortable.

If he remembers correctly, this is a long poem by Du Fu, and these few lines are a small part of it. Sect Qin copied these sentences to Liu Yuanshan to see, which was nothing more than to express two meanings.

First, Liu Yuanshan is like that ant-like villain, in order to seek a comfortable nest, he camps all day long regardless of the avenue, but he himself often envies the hundred-zhang long whale, and always thinks about swimming in the sea.

This guy is sarcastic about himself, both openly and secretly.

"How?" Sect Qin raised his head, the muscles of his face contracted, and his eyes narrowed.

Liu Yuanshan sneered in his heart, but his face was straightforward, he lifted the pen mercilessly, splashed ink on the snow-white rice paper, and wrote a famous poem by Grandpa Mao in later generations: "The complaint is too strong to prevent the intestines from breaking, and the scenery should be long-sighted; The water of Modao Kunming Pond is shallow, and the fish watching is better than the Fuchun River! ”

-for-tat, the silent response is quite beautiful.

"Hahaha!" Qin Jiaoyu is also an open-minded person, and when he saw Liu Yuanshan's poem "at his fingertips", he laughed, clapped his hands and said: "Wonderful, wonderful, it really lives up to its name." ”

There was a rather regretful expression in his eyes, and he shook his head and said, "It's a pity, it's a pity, if you follow the right path, your talent is still above my disciple!" He was naturally Wang Xiucai.

Liu Yuanshan only smiled slightly and did not answer.

"Forget it, everyone has their own ambitions, and the old man can't do anything?" Looking up at the sky, it was already noon, and said: "You are a guest from afar, you have no relatives in Fang County now, so let's have a light meal in my house today." ”

"Don't dare!" Liu Yuanshan hurriedly excused himself.

Qin Jiaoyu took his hand and said: "The old man's ancestral home is Xin'an County, Guangdong, and he is an official here without a wife, so he can be said to be alone. You're here today, let's have dinner with the old man. ”

"Xin'an County?" Liu Yuanshan was stunned, and then said, "New Territories? ”

Xin'an County during the Ming Dynasty roughly included the area of present-day Shenzhen and Hong Kong.

"Hey, you kid actually know about the New Territories?" Sect Qin was curious, and said, "The old man is from the New Realm, haven't you been there?" ”

It is already great to know Xin'an County, Liu Yuanshan actually knows that the New Territories is so familiar, and it is strange that Qin Jiaoyu is not curious.

Liu Yuanshan said secretly, it turned out to be a Hong Kong person, hehe!

"Haven't been!" Liu Yuanshan said: "The boys read it in books. ”

Qin Jiao said: "I heard that what you have learned is very miscellaneous, and it is really miscellaneous, let's go!" With a wave of his hand, he took Liu Yuanshan to the living room, and the people had already prepared the wine and food.

There are not many dishes, only four, but there is a jar of wine.

The two sat down separately, and Qin Jiaoyu couldn't say that there was another grumble, but Liu Yuanshan didn't talk to him about the imperial examination, but went straight to the point and asked, "Mr. Tai, the kid has a question I want to ask." ”

"Say it!"

"The ruffian Hu Sanlai, deceived more than a dozen refugees from Xiangyang Mansion to beg along the streets, insulted and beaten to win sympathy, and his behavior was outraged, and it was not far from the county office, so the county's squad room just asked?"

"Ahem......" Sect Qin's hand holding the wine suddenly froze!

This question is too acute, although he is only in charge of education, but after all, he is a petty official, and he is somewhat unbearable when such a thing happens in front of the county government.

However, it is also a fact that he can't hang it anymore, and after being a little stunned, Sect Qin let out a long sigh of relief, put the wine glass in his hand on the table, and said, "The old man naturally knows about this matter, but there is nothing he can do. ”

"Why?" Liu Yuanshan asked: "Lord Huang is a county magistrate and a scholar, he should know the suffering of the people, like Hu Sanlai's behavior, even if he doesn't cut off his head, he should be severely punished, why doesn't the county ask?" ”

"Alas......" Qin Jiaoyu sighed again and said, "It's hard to say, you don't know about the official office when you are not in the public gate." At the beginning of this matter, Feng Kexing, the clerk of the military room, reported it to Lord Huang, and even arrested Hu Sanlai in prison, but in the end, he was not released? ”

"Why?" Liu Yuanshan asked puzzled.

"The old man doesn't know the specific situation, but I have a good personal relationship with Lord Feng, you can ask him about this matter!" Qin Jiaoyu paused for a moment, and then persuaded in a low voice: "San Lang, don't look at this Hu Sanlai is just a ruffian, in fact, there is the Chen family behind him to support him, you don't understand the stakes of the joints when you first come to Fang County, it's best not to meddle in right and wrong at will, if you anger those landowners, the old man can't help you!" ”

"The Chen family?" Liu Yuanshan really hadn't heard of it before.

"You don't know, do you?" Qin Jiaoyu drank a glass of wine, his face was slightly red, and said: "Don't mess up, Ye, Yuan, Chen, and the Chen family have controlled the houses in the county for generations, and all the taxes, liberation, warehousing, relief, and deeds in the county belong to their own departments, even Lord Huang does not dare to move lightly, you have a bright future at a young age, don't dispute with him."
