When leaving Luoyang, Cui Jianxuan naturally sent him out of the city in person. When he was in Cui's house, Du Shiyi was not good at asking, so he naturally wouldn't let go of this guy this time, and when he was about to part, he had to ask him viciously what he meant when he came to Chang'an before. Cui Jianxuan was stunned for a long time, and then he remembered what Du Shiyi asked, and suddenly laughed.

"What do you mean, of course, it's our life's event! Thirteen Niang is empathetic, wise and sensitive, beautiful but not arrogant, it's a pity for cheap outsiders, isn't it more reassuring for me to marry you? Besides, if you really like my sister or Jiu Niang, you can also propose marriage together......"

"Shut up!" Without waiting for Cui Jianxuan to finish speaking, Du Shiyi, whose face was dark, stopped him in one gulp angrily. After glaring at Cui Jianxuan for a while, he really couldn't tell whether this guy was casually talking or sincere, so he could only shout angrily, "If you want to fight Thirteen Niang's idea, show me your responsibility first, otherwise don't think about it!" ”

"That's nature, all in all, you just wait to be your brother-in-law!"

Luoyang Yongfeng Li Cui's trip made Du Shiyi a little upset, and he traveled all the way for more than a day, which was Dengfeng. Now that Cui Yunzhi is no longer a Dengfeng order, Du Shiyi and his entourage naturally did not re-enter Dengfeng County, but went straight along the road to Songshan Hanging Peak. In the case that the government is also repairing the grass hall and sending money, grain and medicinal materials, the original path was also built and widened by the people, and now the ox cart is passable. When she heard the familiar rumbling waterfall again, Du Shiyi only saw that there were more thatched huts in the valley, and there was almost no empty space, and the thatched cottage students who came and went were different from the people in the past, each wearing their own casual clothes, but everyone was in white shirts and green belts, and they looked like they had a different atmosphere.

And as soon as they stopped at their horses, a young man of twenty-five or sixteen came up to meet them. Seeing Du Shiyi dismount, he politely arched his hand and said, "This Langjun is here to study?" If so, please go to the first thatched hut in the east to register your name, and then list the scriptures and history books that you have read or are proficient in, and after the senior brothers have read them, they will arrange them for you. ”

Before Du Shiyi could answer, Yan Zhenqing, who came for the first time, was amazed by the pattern in the valley, and when he heard this again, he couldn't help jumping off the horse neatly and rushed to Du Shiyi's side, and asked curiously: "This senior brother, at my age, is Duke Lu willing to accept it?" ”

When the young man saw Yan Zhenqing's age, he couldn't help but be stunned, and said with a smile: "Why don't you accept it?" Others don't say it, I heard that the third senior brother worshiped under Master Lu at the age of ten. Where did this little Langjun come from? If the family is rich, the mountains are much more miserable, although now the government supplies grain, rice and medicinal materials, but the place in the valley is limited, and in the past, it was allowed to leave a servant, but now it is not allowed. The government sent 20 servants, who were responsible for daily cleaning and purchasing, and 20 village women helped the cooks cook and wash, and the rest had to be done by themselves. Of course, if you are young, you can stay for a month, and then send someone back when you get used to it. ”

When Du Shiyi left the Lu family cottage with Cui Jianxuan at the end of the year, there was no rule that no servants were allowed, but now there is this one, and then looking at the weather in the valley, he understands that this is because there are too many people who come to study, in order to avoid too many servants brought by the children of rich families to occupy the place, so that the poor children cannot study, this article was added. At this moment, he simply didn't speak, just listened to Yan Zhenqing's answer.

"My family is not rich, but my ancestors are just in the shadows, and I usually do some things by myself at home, but this time I only brought one person, and I don't need to keep him for a month." Yan Zhenqing thought about it for a while, then readily agreed to the matter, and raised his hand to thank him, "Thank you for telling this senior brother these rules." ”

"Xiao Langjun is polite."

The young man who received him saw that Yan Zhenqing was talking well at a young age, and called the servant to tell him that the luggage had returned and other matters, and he had a good impression of him for a while, and then saw that Du Shiyi was looking at the situation in the valley, and there was a woman in the ox cart behind him, this comparison, he couldn't help but mutter. However, before he could open his mouth and ask Du Shiyi again, several voices had already come from behind him.

"It's Senior Brother Du!"

"Senior Brother Du, we've all heard about it, this time you have added luster to Master Lu's face, and Jingzhao Mansion won the championship in one fell swoop!"

"Senior Brother Du, how long can you come back this time?"

"Senior Brother Du will go to the court with the state capitals in October, and stay for a few days at most!"

In these gossiping, envy or admiration, regret or admiration, Du Shiyi smiled and bowed his hands, and then said with a smile: "The success of this time is due to Master Lu's careful teaching for many years, and it is also the help that you have always been helping your senior brothers and brothers. If nothing else, if you hadn't lent out the books you had brought with me, I would have been able to read through the books, and I would have been able to write like a good writer in the examination room. ”

The young man who greeted him saw those senior brothers who had been in the cottage longer than himself talking non-stop around Du Shiyi, and then hearing Du Shiyi's answer, he finally realized who this person was, and his eyes lit up. Before he could figure out how to disperse the crowd so that he could ask for some tips on the county and government exams, he only heard a voice behind him that was not too loud.

"Taniguchi is going to be on the road, how long are you going to be stuck here?"

As someone turned around and exclaimed at the beginning, the third senior brother was silent. After hurriedly saluting, the first person crept away, followed by the second and third, but after a short while, the dozen or twenty people who had just gathered here were scattered. Yan Zhenqing looked at the person who stepped forward coldly, plus everyone else had already called out the third senior brother, he compared Du Shiyi's previous explanation, and secretly muttered to himself that it was really appropriate to not laugh at the three words, and when those eyes looked at him coldly, he was a little worried.

"Ten junior brothers."

Zaijian faced Pei Ning coldly, but Du Shiyi felt an indescribable sense of intimacy. After he smiled and saluted without any scare, he pulled Yan Zhenqing and said: "This is Jingzhao Wannian Yan Seventeen Lang Yan Zhenqing, I happened to visit Dunhuafang before, because of the entrustment of the elders in his family, I took him to Songshan." ”

"Well, Senior Brother Qi, you take Yan Shijiulang to register, and then bring him to see me."

The young man who was called Senior Brother Qi didn't even dare to say anything in the face of Pei Ning, let alone bargain, and immediately took Yan Zhenqing away. At this time, Pei Ning glanced at the ox cart, and a smile appeared on his ice-like face: "Is Thirteen Niang in the car?" ”

There were a lot of people before, and it was not easy for Thirteen Niang to get out of the car, so she hurriedly raised the curtain and got out of the car, saluted with her knees, and respectfully called the third senior brother. Pei Ning nodded lightly at her, and then said lightly: "The time for you to come back is just right, today's morning and afternoon classes have ended, and Sect Master Sima just happened to come to visit Master Lu, and now he is in Master Lu's thatched hut." ”

Sima Chengzhen is here!

For the enthusiastic elderly person she first met, Du Shiyi is still grateful to this day. If it weren't for Sima Chengzhen borrowing rain gear in the rain and letting Sima Heiyun send him and Du Shisanniang Zhuying back, and then provoked Sun Taichong to come for diagnosis and treatment, and then gave him the opportunity to copy the classics, and sent him a recommendation to guide him to study in Hanglianfeng, there would be no him now. Not to mention, in the face of that crisis this time, he still used Sima Chengzhen's score to impress Princess Yuzhen. So, when he followed Pei Ning to the newly renovated Lu Hong's thatched house, he settled down first, and then took off his shoes and entered the door.

"Oops, it's our Xie Yuanlang who is back!"

Du Shiyi looked up and saw that this familiar hearty laughter came from the mouth of Sima Chengzhen, who was sitting opposite Lu Hong, and Lu Hong was also smiling with satisfaction, he hurriedly took a few steps forward and turned down and bowed: "Master Lu, the disciple is back, and the disciple has finally lived up to these years of teaching!" ”

"What kind of words are these, could it be that if you have a bad pool, you will live up to Brother Lu's teachings?" Sima Chengzhen didn't open his mouth when he saw Lu Hong, but he smiled and went to help Du Shiyi in person, so he smiled jokingly, "Du Jiulang, you can win the championship in the most difficult Jingzhao Mansion test in the world, and you can learn all the momentum, you can do this, it is really impressive." ”

Du Shiyi stood up here, and after hearing this, he hurriedly invited Lu Hong back to his seat and sat down, and then solemnly bowed to Sima Chengzhen and said: "Sect Master Sima is serious, if there was no Sect Master to help a lot, Du Nineteen would definitely not have such an opportunity. Moreover, when I encountered a crisis in the past, I did not have the permission of the sect master, so I dedicated the Taoist song "Pure Heart Yin" composed by the sect master to Princess Yuzhen, but in fact, I borrowed the reputation of the sect master to get out of trouble for myself. At this point, I didn't dare to ask for forgiveness, but I had to tell the sect master first. ”

The beginning and end of the case in Chang'an City, Lu Hong, who lived in seclusion in the depths of Songshan Mountain, did not know, only what he knew was that the Dengfeng County Party specially asked people to report the good news that Du Shiyi had taken the mansion to try to solve the problem, but Sima Chengzhen, who had just been in Songyang Guan, knew it. As soon as Du Shiyi saw himself, he calmly confessed, he shook his head, and said with a dumb smile: "People are forced to that share, of course they have to use what they can borrow, which is understandable." Besides, I am a famous person in front of the saints, and it doesn't matter if you don't make a song, but someone else will be courteous...... Hey, after many years, Thirteen Niang has been very moving. ”

The elder brother visited the two division commanders, and Du Shisanniang was inconvenient to disturb, so she stood aside. At this moment, when she heard Sima Chengzhen actually mention herself, she hurriedly raised her head, and when she saw him smiling, she immediately stepped forward and saluted deeply: "Duke Lu, Sect Master Sima, Brother can have today, it is all the grace of the two of you to teach you." ”

"Thirteen Niang, I have several robes made by you now, and I have never thanked you for your intentions!" Lu Hong shook his head, and when he saw that Du Sanniang's face was slightly red, he said earnestly, "Nineteen Lang chose the path that suited him best, and what I did was just to teach him according to his aptitude, you brothers and sisters have relied on each other for all these years, and you deserve to have today, Brother Sima thinks but?" ”

"Exactly!" Sima Chengzhen hahadaxiao, and then picked up the topic mentioned to Du Shiyi again, and changed his words, "It's just that there are gains and losses, Du Jiulang, you became famous as a young man, and offended a wealthy family, and Brother Lu refused to enter the court as an official back then, it may not be a good impression for the saint, these points are not good together, even if you can reach the Jinshi Branch next year, if there is no accident, it will be difficult to make a difference during the three-year election period, you have to be psychologically prepared." ”

As soon as the words fell, a hearty laugh came from outside: "Sect Master Sima's words are not bad, but since the tenth junior brother is good at taking exams, during the three-year election period, the imperial court will also open a system, and he can still give it a try." ”

Lu Wangzhi's sudden entry made the atmosphere in the room more relaxed for a while. He said three or two sentences away from the previous serious events, and talked about the current atmosphere of the grass hall leisurely, and then under the pretext of letting Du Shiyi see the other senior brothers, after the deadlift person out of the grass hut, after he put on his shoes and went down the steps, he said without looking back: "I got the news that General Wang greeted Li Na, the examiner of the official department who knew the tribute next year, even if he can't depose you, he will also press your ranking to the end, just like Liu Shilang this time, he really doesn't give up." ”

Seeing that there was no sound behind him, he looked back at Du Shiyi, who followed silently, but he grinned and showed a sly smile: "But do you know that the son of General Ge Fushun Ge is going to take the provincial examination next year?" Although the Ming Jing is easier than the Jinshi Branch, but to memorize the Nine Classics, unless you are talented, it is inevitable that more than ten years of work will be inevitable, I find it hard to believe that the son of the lord has such perseverance! ”
