Chapter 40 The River Boat Holds a Banquet and Makes All Beings Difficult

Yang Tingqing and Chen Jingzhi walked out slowly, and several errand officials immediately stepped forward and said with a smile, "Young Master Yang is so talented, you have been named the head of this year's case by the county lord, your article is splendid, and even the old servant Lin is praised." Our brother has come to give you the good news. ”

After finishing speaking, he looked directly at Yang Tingqing, this is to be pleasing.

"Thank you two, I have two of you. Yang Tingqing was a little embarrassed, and breathed a long sigh of relief in his chest. For a moment, he didn't notice the expressions of the two errand officers.

Chen Jingzhi took out five coins of silver and handed it to the errand officer, and said, "Brother Yang invited the two messengers to drink, which is considered to be the same congratulations, please come in and drink tea." ”

A few bad officials, can't help but be overjoyed, five dollars of silver is already a great reward, and there is no such thing as a set of good news in the ordinary draft, only the head of the case has someone to report the good news.

"Don't dare to disturb Gongzi Yaxing, our brother will go back first. A few errand officials took the reward, and Xi Zizi left.

The middle-aged man looked at the silver with his eyes very hot, and Chen Jingzhi invited him in to drink tea, and he was even more happy.

Yang Tingqing hurriedly said, "Thank you Brother Chen for relieving me just now, I got carried away for a while, Brother Chen Haihan." ”

Yang Tingqing made up his mind to return the silver taels to Chen Jingzhi, but now that he is shy, he deeply believes in himself and can do it one day.

"Brother Yang just said that you and I are like brothers, how can you be polite this time. ”

"Hahaha, it's my gaffe, but now that I'm in Xiucai, I have to go home immediately and worship my ancestors with my mother, and I'm really going to lose company. As he spoke, he arched his hand, and when he left, he couldn't help but glance back at the red line hiding behind the door, and saw that her face was full of joy, and he was also happy in his heart.

Yang Tingqing left, and the red line said happily, "Third uncle, Brother Yang was selected, and he was still the first place, and they all said that Wenqu Xing went down to earth." ”

Chen Jingzhi said with a smile, "Brother Yang is talented, and it is reasonable to be the first to be selected. ”

"I think so, too. Hongxian hugged a liter of red beans, her heart was happy, and she said, "I want to make some red bean cakes for Brother Yang, he likes to eat this the most." ”

Chen Chiying looked at the back of the red line and said worriedly, "Red beans are born in the south, and a few branches will be sent in spring. This is a poem that Yang Tingqing taught to the red line a few days ago, and since then the red line has been boiling a bowl of red bean porridge every day. It's just that now the identities of the two are different, and I'm afraid that my wishful thinking will be disappointed. ”

Chen Jingzhi turned his head to look at Chen Chiying and said with a smile, "Does Master Chen really think so?"

Chen Chiying frowned and said, "Yang Tingqing's character is excellent, but I am not optimistic, after all, the door is not the right one, even if Lang has the intention of a concubine, it is difficult to break through the old customs and etiquette." ”

"I think that although the identities of the two are different, Brother Yang is righteous, unconventional, gentlemanly, and has firm beliefs, and external forces cannot be moved. ”

Yang Tingqing was named the head of the case, and he had been entertaining endlessly for two or three days, and the people who proposed his relatives were about to break through the threshold, so he was impatient and had to hide in Chen Jing's house.

"Brother Chen, tomorrow Lin Lao Lang will hold a banquet on the Yanchuan River, invite this year's selected talents to the banquet, and all talented students can also bring their friends, I hope Brother Chen can walk with me. ”

Chen Jingzhi agreed without hesitation, he was reluctant to go to ordinary banquets, but Old Squire Lin was in Beijing all the year round, if he could get in touch with it, it might be of great help to inquire about the location of the Infinite Heaven.

The next day, the wind and the sun were beautiful, and the two took an ox cart to the Yanchuan River together. But I saw several big boats lined up on the river, the lights were colorful, and the sound of bamboo silk music floated on the riverbank, and dozens of ox carts and horse-drawn carriages were parked on the bank, which was very lively. Chen Jingzhi and the two got out of the ox cart and asked the coachman to come back in the evening to pick up the people.

"Isn't this the head of the case, Yang Tingqing and Yang Xiandi?" Several students saw the two of them from a distance, and blurted out on the spot, which made people look sideways. Now Yang Tingqing is only sixteen or seventeen years old, has no words, and is young, so he is called Yang Xiandi.

"Who is Brother Yang Xian's side? He is also outstanding in demeanor and extraordinary in bearing, which family is the son, why haven't you seen it?"

"Yes, who is this person? ”

Not only those young students, but also many people have also looked at the past.

"Outside the gold and jade, it is not known. ”

"This man has never seen it, and he may have nothing to look at it on the outside, but he is empty on the inside. ”

At the moment, there are a few old Xiucai who can't help but talk sourly, they are old, and they have not yet been lifted, and when they see such a complacent young man, they always feel resentful, and God is unfair.

"I've seen this person, it's a Jianghu person, Yang Xiandi sued the former county lieutenant Dong Yue before, this Jianghu ranger ran back and forth, and often heard Yang Xiandi mention it, full of praise. A young student in a green shirt groaned slightly, this person's name is Liu Hao.

"Today is the banquet of Yanchuan scholars, how can you let this kind of pickled goods come to participate, Yang Tingqing is young and ignorant after all, even if he wins the case, he is less sophisticated. ”

"Since I am willing to fall, since ancient times, the rangers of the rivers and lakes have violated the ban with martial arts, licked blood with knives, and are at odds with my Great Song Dynasty, how can I be with them?"

"How many evil things have these Jianghu people done in Yanchuan County, as the head of the Jinke case, still dealing with Jianghu people, have they forgotten etiquette, righteousness, honesty, benevolence, righteousness and morality?"

When humanity revealed Chen Jingzhi's identity, it aroused the disgust and disgust of a bunch of people, and even reprimanded them loudly.

Liu Hao, who had broken his identity, sneered, hid behind him, his face was full of disdain, and said in his heart, "Look at how young and talented you are, how to resolve it, do you want this friend, or do you want to be a classmate with Shilin students." ”

"We can't let this Jianghu man get on the boat, otherwise where will we lose face?"

"Scholars and students, don't be willing to be indecent. ”

The students immediately couldn't help but go to the dock and wanted to stop Chen Jingzhi at the bow of the boat.

On the boat, Lin Lao Lang and the county commander, Xuezheng, and the other people looked at the mess below, and the county commander frowned and said, "These people are becoming more and more unorthodox, come and ask what is going on." ”

A moment later, a servant came and explained the matter.

"Nonsense, it's been clearly said that you bring friends and friends, how can you still be so repeated?" The county commander was very displeased, on the one hand, he thought that Yang Tingqing had invited the Jianghu rangers to come here, and it was not the case, and on the other hand, these scholars were causing trouble in their own territory, causing him to be unable to get off the stage in front of the old servant Lin, he shouted, "Call them back immediately." ”

"Slow down. Lin Bingchang's eyes moved, and he said with a smile, "Don't pay attention to it, just tell me to have a degree." ”

Zhu Xian Ling said with a smile, "What Lin Gong said is very true, then I will let people take a look." ”

In the cabin, Lin Yuniang leaned against the window and looked out, and a maid pointed at Yang Tingqing and said, "Girl, that young man in white is the head of the case this year, you see that he is personable, and the old lady praises him for his talent." ”

Lin Yuniang smiled lightly, and after a while, her eyes stayed on Chen Jingzhi, and frowned, "Who is this?" She saw an arrogance between Chen Jingzhi's eyebrows, and when she acted, there seemed to be wind and thunder accompanying her, and she was shocked in her heart. She is also practicing under the seat of the gods, and her talent is extremely high, and she has reached the third level of the knack.

"Hey, why is it so noisy. The maid frowned and said, "Girl, I'll take a look." ”

After a while, the maid came back and made it clear what had happened, and even what the old lady said was passed back.

The maid asked worriedly, "Girl, what can I do about this, if Yang Gongzi is disgraced, it will be difficult to recover it in the future." ”

Lin Yuniang frowned, and then said, "You took my jade plate and told them that the son was the old lady invited for me to be a guard, and you must not be rude." ”

Before Chen Jingzhi and the others arrived on the boat, they saw a group of people rushing down, Yang Tingqing couldn't help frowning tightly when he saw their expressions, and asked loudly, "Brothers, seniors, the younger brother is polite." ”

"Brother Yang Xian, who is the person next to you? Why haven't you seen it?" said a Xiucai in his thirties, his tone was very disdainful.

A person pointed at Chen Jingzhi and asked, "That's right, Brother Yang Xian, where did this student go to school, and who did he learn from?"

"Today, Lin Lao Lang invited Yanchuan students to a banquet, don't let unnecessary people disturb Yaxing. ”

Yang Tingqing sneered, and when he was about to speak, an old Xiucai in his forties sighed and said, "Brother Yang Xian, don't make friends with people who don't know where you come from. ”

"If it's not for us Shilin students, you can't get on the boat, this is the rule. ”

Chen Jingzhi looked around coldly, these people seemed to be good for Yang Tingqing, but in fact, they were mostly jealous of Yang Tingqing, after all, Yang Tingqing was young, talented, and handsome.

If Yang Tingqing was born in a family of poetry and books, then naturally no one dared to embarrass him, only envy, but Yang Tingqing was born in poverty and had never studied with a famous teacher since he was a child.

"You are not worthy to ask who is down there. Chen Jingzhi stepped out, stopped Yang Tingqing, who was about to speak, and said with a smile, "I'm curious, is it the old waiter Lin who is holding a banquet today? ”

"What did you say?" a few old Xiucai suddenly became angry and shouted.

"Can't you hear clearly? Could it be that you are stupid to read and read, and you can't even understand people's words. Chen Jingzhi straightened his chest and smiled, "I said that you are a cat and a dog, but you are jealous of Yang Tingqing's young and incompetent, and deliberately embarrassed him." Since it was Lin Lao Lang who set up a banquet, and the proprietor had not yet spoken, where was it your turn to talk nonsense here with these pickled dogs. ”

"Now do you want to slap Old Squire Lin's face, or do you want to slap Brother Yang Tingqing's face?" Chen Jingzhi ruthlessly tore apart their faces and scolded unceremoniously, "Say a thousand things and ten thousand, scholars should devote themselves to reading and do less crooked things, otherwise they will tarnish the name of the saint, lose their own face, and involve countless students who can't raise their heads." I advise you to change your evil ways and turn back. ”
