Chapter 8: The Knife Between Flowers
Chen Huaiyi's widowed sister-in-law, Wang Weiwei, is the daughter of a local farmer, and married his brother Chen Huailian five years ago.
However, the good times did not last long, and in less than half a year, his parents and brother were killed by thieves when they went to the countryside to collect grain, and he and this widow were the only ones left in the family of five.
In the past four years, my predecessor didn't do anything, only knew how to study hard behind closed doors, and relied on this widow and sister-in-law inside and out.
But in this era, there are too many inconveniences after all.
So, there are those things that Chen Jianzhong and others did.
Now, he is a little worried, and he doesn't know how to arrange this diligent, gentle, kind, sensible, virtuous and beautiful widow.
Actually, there aren't many options.
Or put it back and allow him to marry again.
Or stay in his house and remain alive and widowed until he dies.
Widows in this era usually had only the latter way to go.
The former seems to be reasonable, but in fact, only a very few lucky women can get through.
Hey, it's hard.
Chen Huaiyi had a headache.
In the backyard of the county government, the county magistrate Zhou Chengzong is entertaining guests.
"Senior brother, why are you here?"
"Congratulations to you, junior brother, there is such a talent under the rule, this is a strong stroke in the resume, once the term of office is up, maybe there is a chance to supervise a state of academic politics."
"Alas, Senior Brother is too optimistic."
"How?"
"I went to see that student, he does have a bit of talent, and he is also organized, but his talent is too poor, he is still a child when he is over eighteen, and he only has a nine-grade Wenxin, just now with the help of Zhou Shanshan with the help of the power of the saint to recast the Wenxin, it is only a grade, I am afraid it is difficult to have great achievements."
"Really?"
"Senior brother, can I still lie to you?"
"But even so, this poetry is quite good, and it is worth fighting for."
"I also fought for it, as soon as I entered the door, I overwhelmed people with power and questioned his ability, but Chen Huaiyi was not humble or arrogant when he dealt with it freely, obviously he had a rebellious heart inside, and he was young and ambitious, so he was not so easy to fight for."
"Because of Qingshi Mountain Academy?"
"Not all, my personality is like this, senior brother, my skill of observing people is a little successful, there will be no mistake, that is definitely not a person who is willing to bow down and be a little driven by others, forcibly restrained, but not beautiful, it is better to wait for him to hit his head and break the blood before making a move, and then a little grace can easily pull him to the academy."
"Senior brother, junior brother, the teacher said that your mind is the most active, I was not convinced before, but now I am really convinced."
"Hehe, senior brother is polite."
"Then I'll tell you good news, that kid is about to be deflated."
"Oh? How so? ”
"The Chen family from Yingzhou is here."
Zhou Chengzong suddenly got up: "Are you sure?" ”
"I saw it with my own eyes, although there were a few young people here, their identities and strengths were extraordinary."
"The Tunyang Chen clan is a branch of the Yingzhou Chen clan, if the Yingzhou Chen clan really wants to intervene, not only Chen Huaiyi is in danger, but I am afraid that I will also have a little trouble."
"It's okay, what the big family wants is just a face, and you are enforcing the law on behalf of the saint, even if the Son of Heaven comes, don't worry, but you can say hello to the coolie camp."
"Okay, I'll arrange it."
Chen Huaiyi's study.
Chen Huaiyi sat cross-legged and carefully studied the newly upgraded Wenxin with the method of vipassana.
Previously, under the observation of the Vipassana method, his literary heart was like an ordinary heart, ordinary and narrow, and could only accommodate a little bit of literary energy.
Tongsheng's literary heart is like a spring, but the spring of Jiupin Wenxin is extremely weak, and it is like seeping water outward during the flow of literary qi, which is very shabby, and it is not enough to write a couplet with literary tone.
But now, his literary heart has changed from a gap that can only seep water outward to a spring with chopsticks thick, and his literary qi is quite watery, and he can write at least a dozen couplets.
The difference between the ninth and eighth grades is so great, and the difference between the first grade and the first grade will only be greater.
The literary position and the literary heart are indispensable.
Wenxin is talent, and Wenxin is cultivation.
Wenxin looks at fate, and Wenzhi looks at power.
With his own efforts and Zhou Shanshan's help, he changed his fortune and forcibly recast Wenxin, changing the ninth grade into the eighth grade.
This gave him confidence in his future.
After studying Wenxin, he picked up the autumn water knife presented by Zhou Shanshan.
This knife is a standard one-handed knife, with a short handle, the blade is three fingers wide and two feet long, and the straight blade of one foot and six inches is only about four inches showing an autumn-like arc.
With a strange whisper, it was like the northwest wind blowing the sand next door.
When you close your eyes, you can feel the complex structure and surging aura inside the blade.
At the same time, there is a method of sacrifice and cultivation that comes to mind, and there is also a knife method called "Flower Knife".
The name...... It doesn't sound good, but it's not an ordinary knife technique, not only the moves are exquisite, but also the style is wonderful, it is a genuine six-grade martial art, and it is a light and elegant path.
It is a sword technique handed down by a senior scholar of Qingshishan Academy, and it is also one of the symbolic martial arts of Qingshishan Academy.
Qingshi Mountain Academy is really atmospheric!
Chen Huaiyi secretly praised.
It's just that I didn't want to get involved with various forces too early, even if it was Qingshi Mountain Academy.
Because where there are people, there are rivers and lakes.
With such ability, it would be dangerous for him to get involved rashly.
Writing poems on the spot to give back to Zhou Shanshan has this consideration.
However, in the end, I still got the advantage of others, and I had to accept this very heavy favor.
Let's pay it back slowly in the future.
Now, it's all about making money.
It costs a lot of money to set up a door, a house, land, a servant, and a pen, ink, paper, and inkstone.
You have to think of a way to make money quickly.
Every month, children can receive a piece of ink ingot, 100 pieces of straw paper, 10 catties of rice, 2 catties of meat, and 1 foot of cotton cloth from the government, which cannot even meet the needs of one person's life.
Make hay!
Must make money!
"Knock knock—"
Chen Huaiyi was pondering a way to make money, when there was a hurried knock on the door, and the new patriarch Chen Zhijing shouted: "Chen Laosi? Come out! ”
Chen Huaiyi: ???
What do you mean?
Just now, he groveled and begged.
Now it's a mouthful of Chen Laosi?
This is the ...... Things have taken a new turn?
stopped the sister-in-law who wanted to open the door, and said in a low voice: "Sister-in-law, stay in the house and don't come out." ”
Open the door.
His gaze swept over the faces of Chen Zhijing and seven or eight young clansmen, and he asked lightly, "Something?" ”
"It's not a big deal, just come and have a look, and see when you're a genius to move out."
"Oh?"
"Will you move it yourself, or will you let us move it?"
Chen Huaiyi stared at Chen Zhijing, who was fearless, and suddenly smiled: "It seems that you are looking for a backer?" ”
Chen Zhijing's face turned red and said angrily: "Don't step on the horse and talk nonsense, move, or don't move?" A good word? ”
Chen Huaiyi smiled and patted Chen Zhijing's shoulder: "Move, of course move, I, Chen Huaiyi, am a child, I am a child, I talk about it, I will move when I say it, I don't need you to urge." ”
"Hmph, it's better to hurry, you are limited to a quarter of an hour to move out, when the time comes, don't blame us for being polite!"
"It's not a feng shui treasure here, who is rare?"
Chen Huaiyi sneered.
This surnamed Chen has bad intentions.
drove him away, but left him only a quarter of an hour.
Isn't this bullying?
What is a quarter of an hour?
I can't even pack the books in the study.
This is to make it difficult for him.
Chen Zhijing didn't have the courage to do this kind of thing, someone would inevitably instigate and provoke him, and he would inevitably hide his back hand, just waiting for him to attack.
To put it bluntly, he deliberately found fault and lured him to do it.
He takes the lead, and Chen Zhijing or Chen Zhijing's new backer can fight back justifiably.
