Chapter 5: The Benefactor Appears

In the study, Yang Li, the head of the Huayin Yang family and the uncle of the prodigy Yang Xiu, sat in front of the long case with wide robes and big sleeves, playing against a middle-aged man full of heroism. Pen fun and pavilion www.biquge.info

The servant who made the tea stood and waited, peeking at the guest from time to time.

This middle-aged man who was called Wang Yue by the lord is said to be the famous Yanshan hero. At the age of eighteen, he entered Helan Mountain on horseback, and returned with the head of the Qiang leader alone, and no one dared to be his leader; At the age of thirty, he traveled around the states and fought almost all over the world.

Listening to him chatting with the head of the family just now, it seems that he has opened a martial arts hall in Luoyang. It's a pity that such a hero doesn't go to the battlefield and asks for a general.

"There is a seven-word poem in Huayin County recently, which has been widely circulated, I don't know if the virtuous brother has heard of it?" Wang Yue fell down and asked casually.

"How can I not know that these seven-character poems have come out of my house?" Yang Li smiled slightly, "My nephew Yang Xiu, came to tell me the day before yesterday that Zhang Wang, a scholar from Shu County who lived in my house, was an arrogant person who didn't know the height of the sky. ”

Wang Yue's eyes flashed, and he asked, "Then how did Brother Xian reply to him?" ”

"My nephew was born intelligent, but I don't like that he is a child prodigy."

Yang Li picked up the tea and drank it slowly: "The world is big, there are many heroes, if you think you are smart, you don't look at others in your eyes, sooner or later you will suffer a big loss." ”

Wang Yue arched his hand: "There are hills and valleys in the chest of the virtuous brother, and the younger brother is deeply admired. ”

"As the so-called 'poetry is the voice of the heart', Zhang Forget makes poems to boast about himself, so he naturally has his reason and confidence. Not to mention anything else, this Zhang Forget, with his ability to never forget, is enough to be proud of the world's readers. ”

Wang Yueqi said: "Is there really a person in the world who will never forget? ”

"This piece of forgetting once recited the "Historical Records" in front of me, and it is not bad. You must know that the historical record is 200,000 words. Speaking of this, Yang Li glanced at Wang Yue meaningfully: "Brother Xian doesn't believe that anyone can never forget, this is normal. Because before I met the virtuous brother, I couldn't believe that there was a great master in the world who was so good at swordsmanship. ”

Wang Yue was happy in his heart, and said modestly: "The little brother is ashamed, he just has a little bit of martial arts." ”

Yang Li smiled, did not answer again, and the twist fell on the chessboard.

Wang Yuejing is good at swordsmanship, and he is famous as a master in Beijing, and he traveled thousands of miles from Luoyang to Huayin, not on a whim.

He has the ambition to serve the country and is enthusiastic about being a professional. However, from a humble background, the Luoyang officials and nobles looked down on him at all. Occasionally, he was summoned to a banquet in the mansion, but he was only asked to play a sword in the banquet so that the guests could be entertained.

Wang Yue had no choice but to open a martial arts hall in Luoyang to make a living, frequently going in and out of the homes of royal officials and nobles, wanting to find an opportunity to become a leader, but unfortunately he never got what he wanted.

Yang Li's father, Yang Ci, was appointed as a lieutenant at this time. Taiwei, one of the three dukes, is in charge of the national military, which is equivalent to the ******** of later generations. If Wang Yue wants to go to the army to show his strength and take the road to Yang Ci, it is undoubtedly a shortcut to the south.

It's a pity that he asked to see him many times, but Yang Ci didn't see him. It's just a reckless martial artist, how can the dignified captain see it in his eyes?

Wang Yue retreated and went to see Yang Biao, the son of Yang Ci, but he also failed to meet.

Wang Yue, who refused to give up, went straight to Hongnong Huayin County single-handedly to visit Yang Li. If Yang Li could help him say something in front of his father, then everyone would naturally be happy. If not, Wang Yue can also bring the family letter back to Luoyang for Yang Li, and take this as an opportunity to meet Yang Ci.

In order to be famous, this person can be said to rack his brains and calculate.

Yang Li guessed Wang Yue's intentions, he had always been kind to others, and he had already made up his mind to help him.

It's not a bad thing to learn literary and martial arts and sell them to the emperor's family.

A domestic servant walked into the study silently and whispered: "Master, Zhang Wangis here and is asking to see him outside the door." ”

Yang Li glanced at Wang Yue, looking a little hesitant.

Wang Yue's eyes lit up and said, "Brother Xian, can you let the younger brother see the demeanor of this young man?" ”

Yang Li sighed secretly, and said in his heart that I am a guest, if you don't avoid it, forget it, you still want to see each other? Sure enough, he was born recklessly and didn't know how to be polite. No wonder the dignitaries and nobles in Luoyang don't take you seriously.

Yang Li saw that Wang Yue had no intention of taking the initiative to avoid it, so he nodded helplessly to the servant.

The servant walked out of the study and ushered Zhang Forget in.

Zhang Forget shook Yang Li to the end: "Zhang Forget has seen Engong." ”

Eun Gong? Did you come to talk to me about repaying your kindness?

Yang Li frowned slightly, and stepped forward to help Zhang Wang: "It's just a matter of saving you, why do you always think about it?" Don't mention the word Engong again. ”

Zhang Forget smiled and was about to speak, when he saw that there were other guests in the study, he was stunned.

Seeing this, Yang Li wanted to introduce Zhang Wang, but heard Wang Yue interject: "This young man has a handsome appearance and extraordinary instruments, and he is really a rare handsome man." ”

Zhang Forget couldn't figure out his origin, and said with a smile: "Mr. is too famous, Zhang Forget is ashamed and dare not be." ”

Yang Li glanced at Wang Yue, quite annoyed by his lack of etiquette. However, embarrassing another guest in front of a guest is not in line with his etiquette education.

He barely showed a smile and hugged Zhang Wang's fist to show his apology for Wang Yue.

Zhang Forget came over, and he didn't understand etiquette, so he didn't understand it at all, so he said it directly: "Zhang Forget came here to say goodbye to his uncle." ”

"Why did the virtuous nephew say this, but the servants at home didn't take good care of him?"

Yang Li had just allowed a little beggar to live in Zhang Wang's courtyard, and in a blink of an eye, he heard Zhang Wang's words that he was leaving, and he was quite surprised. Where can a person in distress, homeless and with no money to spare, go?

Zhang Forget said: "Don't hide it from my uncle, Zhang Forget originally wanted to go to Liangzhou to study, so he came all the way from Shu County. Who expected to encounter bandits and fall into trouble. ”

Traveling to Liangzhou? Yang Li listened, and was even more inexplicable.

The places where the world is prosperous are Yingchuan and Qingzhou. Yingchuan has Chen Yu, Xun Shu and Sima Hui, and is second to none in lecturing. Qingzhou is the hometown of Confucius, where there are Confucius's descendants Kong Rong, Guanzi's descendants Guan Ning, as well as celebrities Zheng Xuan, Wang Lie and others, and the style of lecturing is also very popular.

Only this Liangzhou, since the death of the great Confucian horse, has declined, and there has never been any remarkable scholarly people. The only ones who can be ranked are Yan Zhong, Han Yun and the like. However, they are famous in the bitter cold land of Liangzhou, and when they leave Liangzhou, it is nothing.

Yang Li pondered for a moment and asked, "The virtuous nephew went to Liangzhou, but did he find Yan Zhong and Han Yun, famous scholars in Liangzhou?" ”

Yan Zhong is known as a famous man in Liangzhou, but the biggest official in his life is the Xindu County Commander. Han Yun was originally engaged in Liangzhou, but after the rebellion, he changed his name to Han Sui, but he was just a second-rate strategist.

These two people are also worth my study?

Zhang Wang shook his head and said: "There is a well-educated person in Liangzhou, who lives in Guzang County, Wuwei County, after the former Han Jia Taifu, named Jia Xu Jia Wenhe, I went to Liangzhou to worship him as a teacher and learn Wentao Wuluo." ”

"It turned out to be him." Yang Li nodded slightly.

The reason why he knows Jia Xu is because Jia Xu is a descendant of Jia Yi of the Western Han Dynasty. This person was filial piety a few years ago, and he was a lang in the court, but within a few years, he resigned due to illness and returned to his hometown, and he has been unknown ever since.

Zhang Wangyuan is in Shu County, and he actually heard about this person's talent, which is really strange and strange.

After Zhang Forget finished speaking, he made a big salute to Yang Li: "If it weren't for my uncle's help, Zhang Forget would have died on the street, and I don't know how to repay him." ”

Yang Li saw him come again, and pretended to be annoyed and helped him up: "I am a hundred-year-old clan of the Yang clan in Huayin, and my reputation is outside, and if I want people to repay such a trivial matter as saving people in danger, wouldn't I be laughed at behind the backs of the world?" ”

Zhang Wangyi said seriously: "If you don't want to repay your kindness, that's your business, and if you don't want to repay it, that's my business." Zhang Forget has nothing else to do, that is, he reads a lot of books, if Engong does not abandon gold and silver vulgar things, Zhang Forget has several ways to make gold every day, which can help Engong's family to have no worries about food and clothing. ”

Yang Li didn't care at all, waved his hand and said: "My Yang clan is a big family for hundreds of years, with thousands of acres of fertile land and countless shops, how can I lack money?" If my nephew mentions any more nonsense about repaying my kindness, I'm really going to be angry. ”

Yang Li and Zhang forgot your words, I said a word, and no one paid attention to Wang Yue.

Wang Yue didn't care, and when he heard that Zhang Wangyou's method of making gold one day, his eyes lit up suddenly.

If he himself had a way to make money, he wouldn't have to open a martial arts hall to make a living in Luoyang. The group of apprentices who killed talents and the eaters who met friends with martial arts under his hands were almost killing him.

Zhang Forget saw that Yang Li's attitude was resolute and there was no hypocrisy, so he took a step back and said: "The Yang family's famous family has produced outstanding children from generation to generation, and this is the work of collecting thousands of books. I have a Commentary on the Analects that helps my disciples study the Analects. I am willing to transcribe it and add another copy to Yang's 10,000-volume collection, and I ask Engong Mo to refuse. ”

"Oh, who wrote this "Commentary on the Analects" by the virtuous nephew?"

When Yang Li heard this, he really became interested. Ancient scholars were all sick with this, and regarded books as more important than gold and silver treasures.

Zhang Wang's face was not red, and his heart was not beating and he lied: "I found it in a cave in Shu Mountain, and I don't know who the author is." ”

"Commentary on the Analects", also known as the Righteousness of the Analects, He Yan Notes of the Northern Wei Dynasty, Xing Yushu of the Northern Song Dynasty, Fan 20 volumes.

This book is the result of several commentators of several eras, and before the advent of Zhu Xi's Commentary on the Four Books, it was the standard commentary on the study of the Analects by scholars all over the world, and it was extraordinary.

Of course, this kind of truth can't be explained to Yang Li, a native of the Eastern Han Dynasty.

"That's it......" Yang Li was slightly disappointed, he didn't know who wrote it, could he expect it to be a good book? It is impossible for a real famous Confucian to go to a remote and dangerous place like Shushan to live in seclusion.

Zhang Forget said with confidence: "There are twenty volumes of this book, all of which are in my chest. I can write a volume silently first, and if Engong feels that there is something meritorious, I will write a follow-up. ”

Yang Li wanted to refuse, but after thinking about it, if I didn't let him write, he would still be entangled in the matter of repaying his kindness and not letting go, which was really annoying. He wants to write, let him write it. It's not a bad thing to have an extra collection of books for reference.

Thinking of this, he said: "In this way, there is a nephew of Lao Xian in this matter." The virtuous nephew is full of talent, and what can be valued by the virtuous nephew must be a good book. ”
