Volume 9, Chapter 25: All Rejoice
Ning Caichen was already a little drunk, he put down his wine glass, stood up, patted his chest, and said vaguely:
"Ning Caichen swears here, he must take the test to gain fame, and when he becomes a big official in the future, I will speak up for more weak people and ask for my life for the injustice in the world...... All of you here, you are my witnesses. β
"Good!" Gou Fugui clapped his hands in praise, and then asked:
"How long will you take the exam, and then we will cheer for you."
"I'm a lifter now, and next spring, I'll go to Qincheng to take the meeting exam and the palace test."
"Then it's decided," Gou Fugui said, lifting his glass:
"Next spring, we will reunite in Qincheng, eldest sister, are you all right?"
Li Mujiang also raised his glass:
"Ah Li and I were going to Qincheng to run errands, so naturally it was no problem."
Shi Li nodded, picked up the wine glass, and several people drank it all, so happy.
"Cough, cough, cough......" Ning Caichen drank anxiously, coughed, Xiao Qian on the side smoothed him out, and then complained:
"Tell you to drink less, you won't listen."
Seeing that Ning Caichen obediently put down his wine glass, Gou Fugui laughed and said:
"Haha, I didn't expect you, a nerd, to be afraid of your wife."
Xiao Qian's face turned red and ignored him, but Ning Caichen shook his head:
"It's not just that...... I'm most afraid of children. β
"Little children?" Gou Fugui was a little curious.
"Yes," Ning Caichen shook his head violently at the mention of this, as if he wanted to throw some memory out of his mind, and he said:
"It's a shame to say that Ning has been a teacher in the school for a period of time, and has also dealt with children a lot, but after meeting those two little dolls...... Alas. β
Then Ning Caichen made a long story short, and several people knew about his tragic experience a few months ago - at that time, Ning Caichen had just gone out to study, passing by a market, but lost the bookbox in the middle of the city, and when he found the bookbox in the wasteland in the suburbs, he only saw a pair of stubborn twins, who was playing with his own collection of books......
Li Mujiang and Shi Li glanced at each other, and always felt that this story was a little familiar.
"So, now my old book, only this "Three Character Classic" is left......" Ning Caichen took out the book from his arms in frustration, but Xiao Qian on the side pulled the book over.
Xiaoqian picked up the book and shook it playfully:
"No, you don't have any left, this is mine."
Ning Caichen loves books like his life, and when he thought that the old books that accompanied him were gone, his face suddenly became bitter.
"Okay, I'm not going to tease you." Xiaoqian returned the book, and then asked:
"Where is the child, so naughty?"
As soon as he remembered the scene where the two dolls grimaced and scolded themselves for being stupid scholars, Ning Caichen let out a long sigh:
"Wellβthen their sister came to me, and the woman apologized and bought me a new book. They're an acrobatic troupe, and it's like ......."
"Qiao's class." Li Mujiang had already determined who Ning Caichen had met.
"Qiao Jiaban? Yes, yes, it's Qiao's class...... Well? How do you know? β
Li Mujiang raised his forehead slightly:
"You're lucky, they at least left you a bookcase."
"Oh, I see...... Ning Caichen suddenly understood:
"I think of a poem by Du Gongbu......"
Li Mujiang said:
""The Song of the Thatched House Broken by the Autumn Wind", you are the old and powerless Du Gong Department, and Aping A'an is the stubborn Nancun group of children."
Ning Caichen nodded thoughtfully.
Then she briefly talked about her acquaintance with Shi Li's Qiao family, and then said:
"The next time you meet them, you will report Ali's name and make sure that they can run faster than rabbits."
"Thank you, thank you......" The problem that had plagued Ning Caichen for a long time was solved, and he was grateful.
Li Mujiang took a sip of wine and couldn't help but praise:
"Speaking of Qiao's class, they have been very happy for the past two days. Ergou, should you say it or not, you really have some ability, not only found a good position for them to set up a stage, but also found a team of soldiers to watch the field for them, they really made a lot of money. β
Gou Fugui smiled:
"Good fellow, you guy, who can give away a bag of gold leaves without blinking an eye, still cares about money?"
Li Mujiang shrugged:
"Of course you have to care, none of us can find Shen Xia's stolen money, and now I am very poor, and I am about to discuss with Ah Li about the fugitives on the street...... At that time, the second master of the dog will cover us a lot. β
Everyone laughed, and then pushed the cup and drank it again.
Gou Fugui asked with the help of wine:
"What are your plans after tonight?"
Ning Caichen took Xiao Qian's hand and said to everyone:
"Xiaoqian and I are going to settle in Jinyang for the time being."
Gou Fuguiqi said:
"Oh? Aren't you going on a long trip? β
Ning Caichen's eyes showed a look of yearning:
"Of course, but according to rumors, Mr. Su is about to arrive in Jinyang, how can I miss such a good opportunity?"
"Mr. Sue?"
Ning Caichen praised:
"This Mr. Su is a contemporary Confucian, if I can be lucky enough to have a few words of advice from him, I will definitely benefit a lot and benefit immensely!"
Xiao Qian beside her nodded thoughtfully, it seemed that she was also looking forward to visiting Mr. Da Rusu.
"Good guy, Xiaoqian, haven't you just been enlightened? Why do you want to visit people? Gou Fugui quipped.
"Haven't you heard that if you study alone and have no friends, you are lonely and widow......ed?" Xiao Qian argued, and then dropped the bookbag, all of which were difficult to understand, such as "tacitly knowing, learning without tiring, and teaching people tirelessly", or "A gentleman respects the virtuous and tolerates the public, and is kind but not discreet." Something like that.
Seeing that Xiaoqian's stupidity was better than Ning Caichen's, the poems were endless, and everyone laughed, and the air was suddenly filled with joy.
Hearing the laughter, Xiao Qian's face turned red:
"What's wrong?"
Ning Caichen smiled:
"It's a good back, much faster than I was back then."
The two looked at each other and smiled, exactly-
Ignorance of good and evil,
I was fortunate to meet you.
The story here can be praised,
One heart is in harmony with the blessing of misfortune.
After asking where Ning Caichen and Xiaoqian went, Gou Fugui turned his head and asked Li Mujiang again:
"Big sister, what about you?"
ι»ζ¨ζ± says:
"When Qiao's class performance is over, Ali and I will follow them to Jizhou."
"Or go find someone?" Gou Fugui asked.
Li Mujiang nodded.
"If you're looking for someone, it's too slow to follow them, come with me." Gou Fugui waved his hand arrogantly.
Li Mujiang and Shi Li were shocked, and Li Mujiang almost stood up:
"Is it ......?"
"See what this is?" Gou Fugui took out a letter and raised it:
"After I reported the news of the deserted village to the above, the reply arrived today, and it was a letter from our boss himself, he said that he was in Jizhou, let me go to see him."
The trail of the leader of the Thousand Winds has really appeared!
Li Mujiang nodded solemnly:
"We'll leave at dawn, or if it's convenient for you, we'll leave now."
"I know you're in a hurry, but don't worry about it first," Gou Fugui pushed Li Mujiang back to his seat:
"Listen to me first, and it's never too late to leave."
Li Mujiang turned his head puzzled.
Gou Fugui explained:
"Our boss, if you really know the world and are clever, no one can guess his thoughts, the more you want to look for him, the more you can't find him, but if you rush over step by step, he will come out of nowhere."
Li Mujiang will be suspicious:
"Really?"
Gou Fugui spread his hands:
"Think about it, how dare I lie to you? Besides, I owe you such a big favor, why should I keep putting it off if I can finish it early? β
Li Mujiang nodded, put this matter down for the time being, and she raised her glass:
"Then let's have a drink first."
Shi Li and Ning Caichen on the side drank it all.
Gou Fugui raised his glass:
"Okay, let's not get drunk tonight!"
That night, several people drank indulgently and returned happy.
β¦β¦β¦β¦
The next day, after saying goodbye to Qiao's class, the group came to the city gate.
"Li Nuxia, Brother Shi, Gou Erye, there will be a period later." Ning Caichen arched his hand.
Gou Fugui said:
"Study hard and get a champion in the capital next year."
"Borrow the second master's auspicious words." Ning Caichen snorted.
Lai Mu Kong Road:
"It's all sent here, go back quickly, Xiaoqian's injuries are not completely healed, don't suffer from the cold."
Xiao Qian shook her head:
"Sister Li, I'm all right."
Li Mujiang smiled helplessly, and then rolled his eyes:
"But I heard that Su Daru has already arrived in Jinyang, didn't Ning Gongzi want to visit for a long time?"
"Huh? It's already here. When Xiao Qian heard this, she immediately said:
"That can't be sent, Ning Caichen, let's go quickly."
"I'm not in a hurry here...... Hey, Xiaoqian, slow ......down, Xiaoqian" Before Ning Caichen finished speaking, he was dragged away by Xiaoqian's involuntary words.
"Hahahaha......" Looking at Xiaoqian's stupid appearance, Li Mujiang laughed heartily.
"Looking at this posture, if Xiao Qian studies for another two years, she may be able to become a female champion." Gou Fugui quipped:
"At that time, nerds can suffer at home, that's martial arts, and literature can't do it, so you have to be angry with your wife, big sister, you say yes?"
Li Mujiang smiled, but before he could answer, he saw a literati in a long robe coming out of the city and walking straight to this side.
The literati walked quickly to Gou Fugui's side, took out a booklet, Gou Fugui took the booklet and read it, and after the two quickly exchanged a few words, the man took a deep look:
"Second Master Gou walks slowly."
Gou Fugui waved his hand:
"Mr. Pu is polite."
After the man left, the three of them officially hit the road, and Li Mujiang couldn't help asking:
"Who was that guy just now?"
Gou Fugui said:
"A literati who writes strange things."
Li Mujiangqi said:
"How did someone who writes strange things find you?"
Gou Fugui gave a thumbs up:
"I'm the leader of the Thousand Winds in the two states of Ji and Ji, whose story can be as much as mine? Who is he looking for if he doesn't look for me? β
Li Mujiang asked:
"And what story did he just ask?"
Seeing Gou Fugui's strange face, Li Mujiang waved his hand:
"If you can't say it, forget it."
"No...... Gou Fugui scratched his head in embarrassment:
"I adapted the story of our deserted village and told it to him...... Alas, I knew you were going to ask, oh, this is you and Shi Li's silver, don't say that I eat alone. β
Li Mujiang pushed back the few pieces of broken silver, and then said suspiciously:
"The experience of a deserted village can also be written as a story?"
Gou Fugui shrugged:
"It can be adapted - I kneaded several of our stories together and picked out some key points to tell Mr. Pu, and he seems to have re-fictionalized a new character, and the rest is for him to play on his own...... Don't say it, he just showed me the revised manuscript, it's really wonderful, you must buy it when you have time. β
Li Mujiang asked:
"What's the name of the book?"
Gou Fugui said:
"The first word of the title of the book is chatting, anyway, I took a literary crepe name, I can't remember, I still think the previous "The Legend of the Ghost Fox" is very exciting."
Li Mujiang shook his head with a smile, struck a horsewhip, and caught up with Shi Li in front.
Gou Fugui said to himself:
"But if you want to say that Mr. Pu is crepe, but the name of this chapter is a mediocre 'Nie Xiaoqian', but I think the previous name is much better...... Hey, wait for me! β
Then he rode after the two men in front of him.
The three of them set off for their next destination, Jizhou.
