Chapter 314: The Bombastic Ones
"Yunsheng, after listening to what you said earlier, I was still a little unimpressed. Now it seems that this Zhu Yuanhao really has a bit of luck, not only knows martial arts, but also knows how to visit talents. Walking out of the tea stall, Bai Susu said in a low voice.
When Zhu Yuanhao was drinking tea opposite, she also quietly used her divine sense to probe the other party's luck, although her luck was only red, but her face was very extraordinary. Bai Susu doesn't know physiognomy, but when he cultivates to a certain level, he can naturally see one or two. This person's eyebrows are like swords, and there is an indescribable charm in his gestures. Several subordinates sat beside him like stars holding the moon, which reflected Zhu Yuanhao's confidence and momentum.
"Well, we're not going to the county seat, let's go ahead and have a look. Chang Jin also wanted to see what Zhu Yuanhao could do and whether he could endure the difficulties of the "Magi".
You must know that the Magi is not so easy to invite, although Zhu Yuanhao was famous at the beginning, the world only passed on his bravery. In the eyes of many scholars, I am afraid that they are still just inferior martial artists and cannot be put on the stage.
Zhu Yuanhao and the others galloped forward on fast horses, and soon got off the official road in one place.
With the realm of Chang Jin and the others, it is not difficult to hide their traces and keep up with them.
It's just locked with his divine sense, and he doesn't get close.
Encountering a place where there were people, the two slowed down early. Along the way, he didn't attract the attention of others.
The wheat seedlings in the fields are green, the sound of birdsong, after walking more than five miles, a small river is far away, weeping willows are planted in front of the river, and a manor looms in the tender green and verdant.
Zhu Yuanhao led a few of his men on horseback before they arrived at the gate of the manor, they were immediately returned to the village by Zhuang Dingxian, who was on duty.
When they approached, an old man who looked like a butler stepped forward and asked, "A few strong men, I don't know what you have to do in my Majiazhuang?"
Zhu Yuanhao handed over the reins of the horse to his own soldiers, and then saluted respectfully: "I am Zhu Yuanhao, the guard general of the Liang Marquis, and I temporarily led the troops to be stationed in Qutang County. I heard that the young master of your village is known as a virtuous person, and he came to meet him. ”
"You are General Zhu?" The butler obviously knew Zhu Yuanhao's name, and when he heard this, his face immediately became respectful: "General Zhu, please come in and rest." My son-in-law is meeting friends with Xu Gongzi in the backyard, and the little one will go to report. ”
Zhu Yuanhao was not reckless, but just said to a few people behind him: "Third child, you and the rest of the people are waiting here, I can take the little sixth son in, remember not to make trouble." ”
But it is said that at this moment, in a pavilion in the backyard of the Ma family, three young people are sitting on a stone bench and drinking tea. The man was about twenty years old, wearing a square scarf, with delicate facial features, fluttering sleeves, and a very graceful demeanor.
He is Ma Zhiyuan, the young owner of the Ma family manor, and there are two people next to him who are also wearing Confucian shirts and have a calm demeanor, which are Ma Zhiyuan's classmates and friends Dong Mingchuan and Xu Minzhi.
Farther away, a woman held a lute in her arms and sang softly. The sound of the pipa is crisp, the female voice is pleasant, and the two sounds are superimposed together, which is like a deep valley and a clear spring, which makes people feel comfortable listening to it.
At the end of the song, after a long time, the young man sitting at the bottom closed the folding fan and said: "Brother Ma is very good at poetry, this time you won again, not for me to go down to the river Sijunzhi." ”
"Mingchuan praised, what is Xia Jiang Sijunzhi, it's just a casual talk from everyone. Ma Zhiyuan said modestly, and then exclaimed, "It's Mingchuan Fangcai's sentence 'outside the green mountains of Klook, in front of the green water', a few sentences, but it is an endless aftertaste to read." ”
"If you want me to say, the poems of the two of you this time are excellent, and if they are in peacetime, the two poems will come out, and they will be famous all over the world and become a good story for a while. Xu Minzhi poured himself a cup of tea and said.
The remaining two were a little silent when they heard this, such as the chaos today, and the imperial court even stopped the imperial examination, although they were full of wealth, they could only temporarily shrink in the village and enjoy themselves.
"I wonder what Brother Ma plans to do in the future?" At this time, Xu Minzhi asked again.
"The general trend of the world, together for a long time, must be divided, and for a long time, it must be united. Now that the chaos has been revealed, we naturally have to wait for the opportunity to choose one of the masters to serve in order to live up to what we have learned in life. Ma Zhiyuan put down the teacup and replied.
As he spoke, he couldn't help but think of the test in Xiajiang Mansion a few years ago, and he happened to meet a wandering Taoist who took the initiative to tell his fortune.
Ma Zhiyuan was only a liar at first, but who knew that the other party's statement was not accurate and did not want money. This made him curious, so he stood on the side of the road and let the other party look at his face.
After reading it, the Taoist priest even said that he would definitely be able to win the government test this time, and he would meet the Ming Lord in the future, which was unspeakably expensive.
Ma Zhiyuan didn't believe it originally, but just said a few auspicious words to the other party, and then beat the Taoist with a piece of silver. Who knew that when the results of the government test came out, he really took the government test case.
After looking for that person afterwards, he didn't know where he went.
But what the Taoist priest said that day, for some reason, seemed to have some kind of power, and it was always lingering in his mind.
"Can Liang Hou be considered the master?" Xu Minzhi asked again.
"Although Liang Hou is eloquent, he listens to and believes partially, and he is not a master. Ma Zhiyuan shook his head again and again.
"I have heard that Guo ****, the son of the Guo family, has been well-read and intelligent since he was a child, and even the prefect of Dongchuan Mansion praised him for his talent. There were also thieves in Dongchuan Mansion last year, Guo **** stepped forward when he was in danger, organized 7,000 private troops to resist the enemy, and won all three battles, I don't know if he can be called the master?"
Ma Zhiyuan was just about to answer, when he saw his housekeeper trotting in all the way, and shouted: "Son, there are guests coming to the door!"
"Didn't I already explain that I would get together with a few friends today and not accept foreign guests?" Ma Zhiyuan frowned.
"Gongzi, this person is extraordinary, it is Zhu Yuanhao, the guard general who killed the thief Zhao Dahu on Chinese New Year's Eve, and is now waiting outside the door to ask for a meeting. The butler replied with a tone.
"Zhu Yuanhao, what is he doing here?" Dong Mingchuan had a puzzled look on his face. Zhu Yuanhao's deeds have all been told by three people, but they don't take it to heart, just a martial artist.
"The little one really doesn't know, so it's better for Childe to invite him in and ask. The butler hurriedly replied.
"It's okay," Ma Zhiyuan pondered for a moment and nodded in agreement. The Ma family is a scholarly family, and someone in the family once served as the prefect, and even now, there are people in the family who are officials in the capital.
If it's a peaceful season, it's impossible for a martial artist to come to visit. It's just that now it's different from the past, this Zhu Yuanhao once led the troops to recover Qutang County, Ma Zhiyuan decided to give the other party a face, and it didn't hurt to see what happened to the other party.
When the housekeeper left, he turned to the two friends and said, "There are ordinary people coming to the door today, and we can only do it." ”
Chang Jin and Bai Susu initially followed behind Zhu Yuanhao and the others, but after knowing each other's destination, the two naturally arrived first.
There was no need to enter the manor at all, but found a shade of a tree to sit down, released his senses, and the sound of conversation in the manor was in his ears.
Hearing Ma Zhiyuan call Zhu Yuanhao an ordinary man, Chang Jin couldn't help but smile dumbly, "Listening to this person's previous evaluation of the general trend of the world and Liang Hou, I thought he had a bit of vision. Now it seems that most of them are boastful people, and they make conclusions lightly without even seeing anyone, which is really a reputation for the four handsomes of Xiajiang Mansion. ”
He said so with his mouth, and he understood it in his heart. Although the immortals and gods of this world are sacred, it is still the Confucian literati who control the official government. They are in awe of the immortals, but they naturally do not fancy the soldiers whose status is not as good as their own.
But I didn't know that in the troubled times, the voice of the sergeant was far higher than that of the literati.
I was thinking in my heart that Zhu Yuanhao and the others had already followed the housekeeper to the backyard.
"You are the guard general who killed the thief Zhao Dahu a month ago?" Seeing the butler leading the burly man over, Ma Zhiyuan asked with a faint expression.
"It's me" Zhu Yuanhao stepped forward and hugged his fists and said: "I've seen three sons"
Although the housekeeper next to him repeatedly made a look, Ma Zhiyuan had no intention of inviting the other party to sit down, and asked again, "Ma has nothing to do with the army, I don't know what Zhu Wei will do here in the future?"
"Zhu was trusted by the Hou Ye and was given the position of guard general, leading more than 500 soldiers. It's just that Zhu is thin and can't bear this heavy responsibility, especially in military Chinese affairs, and he doesn't know anything about it. A few days ago, I heard from my subordinates that the three sons are all talented people in Qutang County, and Zhu Moute came to ask the three sons to help!"
When Zhu Yuanhao entered the door, he had already heard the housekeeper talk in detail about his son-in-law's reception, and knew that the three people in front of him were the scribes he wanted to invite, so his tone was extremely sincere when he spoke.
The luck of the leader of the company moved, and the invisible ripples were attached to the words.
"You invited the three of us to serve in the army??" Xu Minzhi asked with some amusement after hearing this.
"Exactly, I don't know if the three sons are willing to help Zhu Mou?" Zhu Yuanhao has lived on the dock since he was a child, and observing words and emotions is also the most basic. From the attitude of several people towards him from the beginning of entering the door, he knew that there was little hope today, but he still wanted to persevere.
"I'm sorry, General Zhu Wei, Ma is going to get married soon, and I really can't get out of my body" Ma Zhiyuan refused with a hint of contempt in his eyes.
"I have occasionally felt cold these days, my body is unwell, and I am not competent for military Chinese affairs, so General Zhu Wei still asks another master. ”
......
Hearing that the three of them found a reason to refuse, although Zhu Yuanhao was angry in his heart, he still used a look to prevent the little six children behind him from soaring. Then he hugged his fists and said: "It's Zhu's delusion, since the three sons are not far away, Zhu will leave." ”
Seeing the other party leave, Ma Zhiyuan picked up the herbal tea on the table and drank it all: "A despicable martial artist also wants to learn to recruit talents and recruit us, which is really beyond his means." ”
Several sergeants outside the door were a little surprised when they saw Zhu Yuanhao and the others returning in less than a stick of incense, and hurriedly stepped forward to ask.
Before Zhu Yuanhao could speak, the little sixth son behind him was already indignant: "Those three people didn't look at Wei Shuai at all. One said that he was going to get married soon and could not travel far away; the other said that he was occasionally cold and unwell, and he was not able to do it; and the other said that he was not proficient in military affairs......
"How can this be reasonable, toast and don't eat and drink" Zhou Laosan immediately couldn't bear it when he heard this, "Big brother, these bird scholars are too much of a deception, why don't you let me in and tie them back to the barracks!!"
"Come back, don't mess around," Zhu Yuanhao said sharply. This humiliation was bearable to him, and he would have to deal with the scribes in the future. These scholars are all in a circle, if you offend them, and then your notoriety will spread, I am afraid that no one will be willing to defect at all.
