Chapter 55: The Dispute of Families
The little guy in Tsing Yi set up the wine and food and went down the mountain, Xu Mingyuan looked at the table with a lot of chickens, ducks and fish, as well as a small cup of lean porridge and a jar of wine, which cost a tael of silver, not to mention.
"Master, it's time to eat." Xu Mingyuan yelled at the master, who had drunk a little too much and was sleeping with his head down, got up and brought a small stool to sit at the small square table.
There were still two packets of stuff wrapped in oiled paper on the table, and when Xu Mingyuan opened it, it turned out to be a packet of herbs and a packet of gold sore medicine. This should have been caught by Zeng Qingyi first, and then asked the little guy to bring it to him along the way. However, the little guy was probably too tired to climb all the way up the mountain, so he forgot to tell Xu Mingyuan about this.
Xu Mingyuan put aside the two packets of medicine first, and shook his head with a smile, although Zeng Qingyi is sometimes a little rude and willful, but her delicate mind is not inferior to her.
Qing Xuan shook his head and walked out of the Taoist temple, carried a small stool and sat opposite Xu Mingyuan, looked at the table full of dishes, first slapped the sealing mud of the jar of wine on the table and poured it directly, and said with a smile: "Miss Zeng knows how to honor me, well, this wine is better than what Old Man Zeng brought in the morning." ”
Xu Mingyuan poured a bowl of porridge for Master, then filled a bowl for himself, rolled his eyes and said, "Master, people obviously bought it for me, where is the filial piety to you." ”
Qingxuan stretched out his hand and tore a chicken leg down, put it in his mouth and took a bite, looked at Xu Mingyuan and teased: "What, now you are tempted?" It's not too late, do you want Master to talk to Old Man Zeng, I think that girl also has a heart for you, this thing will definitely be done. ”
"Master, don't mess around with the mandarin duck spectrum, you said that the daughter of a scholar of the Ministry of Officials, we are these three broken Taoist temples, where did you get the confidence to be able to do it." Xu Mingyuan took a sip of porridge and pouted, this porridge was sent from Shuzhou City, and the temperature was just right.
"What's this, my apprentice, even if the emperor wants to marry his daughter, that's also worthy of it." Qing Xuan said disapprerovingly, shook off a strand of white hair that fell from his forehead, and reached out to hand it to Xu Mingyuan's clothes, as if he wanted to rub the greasy on his hands onto his clothes.
Xu Mingyuan took two steps out with a bowl and a stool, dodged Qing Xuan's claws, grabbed a chopstick ribs, and stopped answering Qing Xuan's words. If he took it again, he was afraid that Qing Xuan would have to say his apprentice, and the emperor's position would be able to sit down.
Seeing that Xu Mingyuan didn't talk, Qingxuan didn't continue to brag about himself, and after eating half a chicken and drinking half a jar of wine, he said: "Mingyuan, the old man Zeng came today, firstly, because he said that his hands were itchy and he wanted to come to me to play chess, and secondly, he was afraid that you would be depressed because of that incident, so let me unravel you." ”
"Well, I'm fine, it's just this little thing, it's not a thing." Xu Mingyuan drank the pork rib soup in the bowl, touched his somewhat round belly, and said with a smile.
"I also told him, if this little thing can be hit, then it is not worthy of being my apprentice, who am I, do you say yes......" Qingxuan began to brag about himself again.
After dinner, Xu Mingyuan was too lazy to wash the dishes, and Qingxuan was even more unlikely to wash it, so he piled it up first, and waited for Xu Mingyuan to get better in two days.
Xu Mingyuan went into the kitchen to light the fire, fried the packet of medicine according to the amount written on the paper and drank it, then went into his room, sprinkled some of the packet of gold sore medicine on the wound, and lay on the bed and couldn't sleep, just tidy up what happened in the past two days.
The matter of the college examination has come to an end, and it is obvious that Master Zeng did not expect Sun Xuezheng to come to such a hand. Moreover, the academic administration is in charge of a matter of imperial examinations, although Zeng Fuzi used to be the ruler of the court, but now he is the dean of the academy without an official body after all.
However, Xu Mingyuan was put on the table, which also made Zeng Fuzi move the real fire, although he has been away from the court for decades, but Zeng Fuzi's energy can not be underestimated.
Not to mention that there is also a son who is a secretary in the court, the Zeng family has also had many children who have been officials in the court over the years, and there are also many officials in the court who are not low in rank to give disciples to the master.
Xu Mingyuan's name at the top of the list was dismissed, ostensibly because Xu Mingyuan provoked Li Lixin, and then he was secretly pulled down by means. But if you think about it carefully, how can this matter really be so simple, if it is said that the dignified superintendent of the school administration, in order to make a family son angry, the ranking of the college examination has been changed in front of everyone, and people with a little brain may know that this is impossible.
The key to this matter is not Li Lixin, but because Xu Mingyuan is too close to the Zeng family and the Bai family.
Several major families in Jiannan Province have always fought openly and secretly, and the Zeng family and the Bai family from Shuzhou have been twisted into a rope, and the several major families in Chengdu Mansion are also the same enemy.
The younger generation, Bai Zhexiu has unlimited scenery on the southwest border, Bai Molou has been the first in the debate for three years, and he is famous for the country's son-in-law, it can be said that the younger generation of the Jiannan Taoist family, the head of the civil and military forces was taken away by the Bai family.
However, the Zeng family has not been a young person worth mentioning recently, although Zeng Qingyi is smart, but after all, she is a female streamer, and it is difficult to achieve a big thing, if there is no young generation to pick up, the decline of the Zeng family is just a matter of time.
For the great family that can be inherited for hundreds of years, time has never been a problem, and seeing the decline of the Zeng family is undoubtedly something worth waiting for and celebrating.
However, at this moment, Xu Mingyuan, who had always been infamous, suddenly entered the academy under the recommendation of Master Zeng, and unexpectedly won the first place in the debate. This young man, who was rumored to have an unusual relationship with Zeng Qingyi, naturally fell into the eyes of major families.
Regardless of whether the relationship between Xu Mingyuan and Zeng Qingyi is really unusual, as long as Xu Mingyuan relies on winning the top spot in the academy and embarking on a career, then Xu Mingyuan will have an inseparable relationship with the Zeng family, which is undoubtedly what those families do not want to see.
Xu Mingyuan, who was able to beat Bai Molou and Wang Ziqi to win the first place in the hospital examination, still made the major families who were still hesitant unable to sit still, so there was a farce of temporarily ordering the change of the literary list.
I don't know what benefits those great families promised Sun Xuezheng, which could make him break the rules and act almost blatantly.
However, as he said that day, if he ascended to a high position one day, Xu Mingyuan would definitely return the humiliation of that day's fame to those people. Whether it is the families hidden behind it, or the sanctimonious Sun Xuezheng, Xu Mingyuan sometimes holds grudges.
When I woke up the next day, the soreness in my muscles had almost disappeared, and the wounds that had been injured by the sword qi were also scabbed, perhaps because the medicine and the gold sore medicine were very good, so there was no sign of suppuration, and it should be healed in a few days.
Xu Mingyuan washed up briefly, changed into a light and clean half-old robe, because he was afraid that the wound would tear open, so he couldn't use the sword for the past two days.
This breakthrough of the third grade, Xu Mingyuan has just made two swords, and for the feeling of sword qi and gravel, it is a little difficult to suppress it in retrospect.
When Xu Mingyuan swung his sword, a breath of qi rose from the dantian, then entered the arm, and finally slashed out from the long sword, this is the sword qi. However, although he only made two swords, Xu Mingyuan still felt some limitations, and this limitation came from the qi in the dantian.
What this qi is, Xu Mingyuan doesn't know now, but he knows that this qi is like rice for cooking rice and firewood, if there is no such qi, the sword qi will not be able to try.
After using the two swords that day, Xu Mingyuan already felt that the qi in the dantian was almost exhausted, and now he could feel that the qi in the dantian was very full, more than double that when he had just broken through that day.
This qi should be able to recover, but how long it will take to recover remains to be tested by Xu Mingyuan. If it weren't for the fact that his injuries had not recovered now, Xu Mingyuan would have been unable to sit still.
It wasn't very early today, the sun was already a little high, Xu Mingyuan and the master, who was sitting cross-legged in the main hall, chattering and not knowing what to think, said hello and walked out of the door.
Over the years, Xu Mingyuan has also determined that the master does not take the Taoist rules seriously at all, and he has not let him read a Taoist scripture in the past ten years.
Thinking about his identity as a fake Taoist priest, Xu Mingyuan stepped out of the threshold with a smile, although their master and apprentice never did anything harmful, but those incense money and tributes over the years have indeed become their stomachs.
As soon as he walked out of the main hall, Xu Mingyuan heard a wheezing sound from the side of the path, and whispered to himself with some doubts, "Someone came to offer incense so early?" Today isn't a special day, right? ”
"This Micang Mountain doesn't look tall, and it's weird and tiring to climb, but it exhausts me to death." A familiar voice from Xu Mingyuan sounded under the path, it was Zhou Binjie's voice.
Xu Mingyuan smiled slightly, it seemed that Zhou Binjie and Bai Molou were here, and just wanted to make a sound, but a glutinous voice sounded: "Cousin, it's coming soon, or you can rest again." ”
"Ling Xuan didn't say that she was tired, and you can say it." Bai Molou's cold voice came, still merciless.
"Brother, don't talk about cousin, he does work harder than us." The glutinous voice sounded again, and he said with some complaints.
"That's it, it's better to be Lingxuan." Zhou Binjie gasped and replied.
Xu Mingyuan smiled and walked to the trailhead to look down, Zhou Binjie's huge body was sitting on the steps of the trail, the entire stone steps were stuffed, his clothes were soaked with sweat, and he was panting heavily.
Bai Molou stood on the steps above, dressed in a light blue robe, holding a jade fan in his hand, shaking it gently, his cheeks were slightly red, it seemed that climbing the mountain was not as easy as he said.
And standing on the steps below Zhou Binjie is a girl in a pink embroidered skirt, this girl is twenty-eight years old, born well-behaved and lovely, with her hair tied behind her head, and a jasper hairpin obliquely inserted, quite a lady's style. At this time, she was holding a delicate fan in her hand, and she was thoughtfully fanning Zhou Binjie, and she was the most leisurely when she climbed up the mountain all the way.
