Chapter 17: Ikegami
Xiaoyingzhou is rippling with smoke and waves, and the sky is clear and clear.
Su Yang took Jin Se Meixiang and saw Master Liang again, and Master Liang hurriedly pulled the people around him to start introducing, one was Boss Li of Hou Chaomen Wine Shop, the other was the shopkeeper Wang outside the Qingbo Gate, and the other was the shopkeeper Dong outside the Qiantang Gate.
The three shopkeepers are also their sons here to participate in the cultural meeting, and they came here to watch the performance.
Su Yang and them met Yili, so they sat down together.
"Shopkeeper Dong, your family runs a bookstore?"
After taking a seat, Su Yang asked the shopkeeper Dong, and when Mr. Liang introduced him, he talked about his industry.
"It's all the ancestral business of the family. ”
The shopkeeper Dong was in his forties, and after hearing it, he was ashamed and said: "A certain family is just guarding the ancestral business and spending a wasted life, which is not worth mentioning." ”
Su Yang looked at Shopkeeper Dong and asked with a smile: "Shopkeeper Dong, if I want to publish a book, I wonder if you can help print it?" Su Yang was still thinking about publishing a book.
Shopkeeper Dong looked at Su Yang, smiled, and said: "Childe, in today's world, the situation is mixed, there are not a few people who have been convicted of books, if there is something inappropriate in the text, it will not only harm yourself, but also endanger others. ”
Shopkeeper Dong spoke in an orderly manner, not in a hurry, and Su Yang nodded after listening to it.
"Oh, no. ”
The shopkeeper of Qingbo Gate looked at the shopkeeper Dong and said, "Two mornings ago, I saw that you brought people back from Qingbo Gate to bring back so much paper, not for printing books?"
"Ahem......"
The shopkeeper Dong coughed twice when he heard this, and said, "It's all waste paper, bought to paste the wall." Seeing that the shopkeeper Wang was still going to speak, the shopkeeper Dong stretched out his hand and said, "It's already open, let's watch the meeting." ”
Everyone's eyes looked at the field, Su Yang saw that the three people who performed at the opening of the Wenhui were actually Li Shouhe, Li Cunxing, and Li Xinrong, the three ancestors and grandsons, and the three of them evolved tricks under the eyes of everyone, the things in their hands flickered and flickered, and there were even more tricks such as swallowing swords and piercing snakes through the nostrils, which made ordinary people scared, and after the three people performed, the people in the audience applauded unanimously.
When Li Xinrong retired, his eyes kept looking at the inside of the boat, hoping to take another look at Gu Baozhu, but he was just a young lady in the boudoir, how could he be able to see it casually?
"Let's go......"
Li Cunxing took his son by the hand and said, "The money we earned from today's performance can already give you a daughter-in-law." ”
The three of them were originally performing on the streets, but later heard that Wenhui was looking for someone to perform, Li Shouhe took the silver Su Yang gave him to find an errand to dredge, and sure enough, they came here, and they even took out their life's work and earned a hundred taels of silver.
This money can not only give Li Xinrong a daughter-in-law, but also allow him to settle down.
Su Yang looked at Jin Se Meixiang and saw that the two of them also watched these tricks with relish, and at this time the two of them whispered about the tricks.
After the three-person trick was over, someone came out to preside over the overall situation, and then the reading of the Wenhui began, because there were too many scholars here, so they had to go through several rounds of screening to see who could stand in front of Governor Gu in the end.
The text scrolls were sent down one by one, and when Su Yang saw all this, he felt like an exam, and he didn't like to write poems against each other, shocking a group of people, which made Su Yang feel bored watching it.
"The person who can stand at the end this time must be Du Kangen, the first talent in Hangzhou. ”
When the shopkeeper Dong saw that the exam had begun, he said to the people around him: "Those of us who came to participate are all accompanied. ”
The people present, except for Su Yang, have no children, they are all because their children are here, so they came here to watch the excitement, and see how many rounds their children can enter by studying hard every day, and the top spot, almost everyone in Hangzhou knows that this is predetermined by Du Kangen.
"Why does it smell so big?"
Master Liang smelled the smell, looked outside curiously, and saw that there was no one cooking mutton in the four places, and said in surprise.
"Brother Liang, bow your head!"
Shopkeeper Dong pulled Master Liang and said, "When you smell the smell of mutton, don't look around, it's not good if you are targeted by the Rakshasa ghost." ”
At this time, it was noon, and the shopkeeper Dong suddenly said the Rakshasa ghost so solemnly, so that several people present couldn't help but follow the solemnity, and the shopkeeper Li wanted to ask what the Rakshasa ghost was, but was stopped by the shopkeeper Dong's eyes, and a group of people stayed here in silence for a cup of tea, and the smell of mutton suddenly dissipated, and the shopkeeper Dong breathed a sigh of relief.
"Shopkeeper Dong, what does this smell of sheep have to do with the Rakshasa ghost that makes you so solemn?"
Su Yang looked at the shopkeeper Dong and asked curiously, he looked at it with his eyes, but someone was cooking mutton near him, but it was only in the blind spot of the perspective that Master Liang did not see, just to cooperate with the shopkeeper Dong, and did not debunk it.
At this time, Su Yang seemed to see that this shopkeeper Dong was indeed an ordinary person, but when he heard the words of the shopkeeper Dong, he felt that there was something buried behind this shopkeeper Dong.
Shopkeeper Dong took a deep look at Su Yang and said: "Little brother, you must be careful when you smell this inexplicable smell of sheep in the future, this is the Rakshasa ghost will walk in the world, if someone is noticed by him, he will cut out his heart and swallow the five internal organs." ”
Rakshasa ghost general.
Rakshasa Ghost King.
Su Yang was puzzled and asked, "What is the relationship between the Rakshasa ghost general and the qi?"
The shopkeeper Dong saw Su Yang continue to ask, and said: "According to legend, there will be twenty-four Rakshasa ghosts, and these twenty-four numbers correspond to a kind of crooked qi. ”
Qi is the kind of breath on the body of mutton, and many people are not used to eating mutton, because of the smell of mutton.
There are 24 solar terms in the world, and the Rakshasa ghost will come with 24 crooked qi.
"There is no Taoist priest in Hangzhou City who will subdue demons and subdue demons, and this Rakshasa ghost will be killed?"
Su Yang continued to ask the shopkeeper Dong.
Shopkeeper Dong turned his face sideways and said: "I'm just hearsay, I don't know the details, this kind of ghost thing, we don't talk about it much, let's watch the Wenhui first, there are things that can be said after the Wenhui." Looking at Wenhui, Shopkeeper Dong stopped talking with Su Yang.
Su Yang's eyes also looked in the direction of Wenhui, and he could see at a glance that Du Kangen was cheating, but at this time, Su Yang didn't pay attention to it, nor did he break it, but quietly watched Du Kangen pass the test.
"In the first round, the remaining 140 people ......"
"In the second round, the remaining sixty-six people ......"
"In the third round, the remaining twelve people ......"
"In the fourth round, there are two ...... left"
The last two people left, one of them was indeed Du Kangen, and the other person was Li Muting, the two of them knew each other at a glance and accepted the summons of Governor Gu together.
Governor Gu was wearing satin clothes, his body was fat, and there was a maid fan behind him, after seeing Du Kangen and Li Muting walking up together, he looked happy, looked at the two people, and said with a smile: "Very good, very good, I am holding a cultural meeting here today, just to screen the talents in Hangzhou, and also to remind you who are going to participate in the scientific examination, the two of you can walk in front of me today, and you will be able to walk in front of the emperor in the future." ”
Governor Gu's words made Li Muting's expression darken, but Du Kangen smiled happily when he heard these words.
"Since it is a literary society, a leader must be elected after all. ”
Governor Gu looked at the two of them, and began to come up with the question, saying, "I'll make a question here today......
"Plop ......"
Li Muting knelt down in front of Governor Gu with a plop, and said: "Lord Governor, the kid is really from Yangzhou, his reputation has been revoked, and he has bypassed the rules of the Wenhui by participating in the cultural meeting, and he came here by mistake, so he really doesn't dare to continue the exam, and I hope that the Governor will forgive me." ”
The joy on Governor Gu's face suddenly subsided a lot, he held this literary meeting in order to elect the Shizi of Hangzhou, in the initial requirements, it was necessary to have a person of fame, a person who could participate in the autumn and spring festival, and now a person bypassed the rules and came to him, which hurt his face.
Governor Gu is a good-faced person.
"I'm also a person who loves talents, and you're even more talented. ”
Governor Gu looked at Li Muting and said lightly: "You go down first, and then tell me why you were stripped of your reputation, if you can help, I will also help you, it is not in vain for you to participate in this meeting." ”
Li Muting naturally walked out with a thousand thanks, this time Wenhui, he originally escorted Du Kangen to Governor Gu, and he didn't want to take the exam, on a whim, he did two test papers in a row, and they actually stood out, so that the last one actually came to Governor Gu.
