The young man in white Chapter 43 The spitting stars are flying
(Ask for collections, ask for tickets, big guys!)
Because Zhang Longhu was injured, Chen Yijian had to stay in Fuze Town temporarily.
Huang Ye, the county magistrate, was busy until late that day before coming back, and when he came back, the whole person looked even more exhausted. It was as if an afternoon had used up the strength he had accumulated over decades. But on his tired face, there was a happy smile from the bottom of his heart. After thinking about this, the sullen breath that had been in his chest for a long time was finally completely dissipated.
is to talk to the three members of the Yuan family, who are ordinary people, it is also polite, and there is no posture of being an official at all. If it weren't for Yuan's mother saying that there were still two children waiting for her to go back to cook, Huang Ye would have planned to leave their family of three at the county office for dinner.
In the end, it was easy to say that Huang Ye, the magistrate of the county, ordered someone to personally send the three members of the Yuan family home.
Sitting on a chair with his tired body propped up, the smile on his cheek never faded for a moment. For a while, he looked at Chen Yijian, and then turned his gaze to Zhang Longhu. The faster Huang Ye is two, the happier he will be.
How can you say that there is such a coincidence in the world? A moment ago, I was still worried about the sacrificial matter, and I asked my subordinates to go out to find the great power of cultivation. Unexpectedly, the next moment, people actually took the initiative to come to the door. And there is more than one, one comes and two comes. Tell me, luck, where is the reason?
It seems that I, Huang Ye, am destined to have noble people to help me.
Just like when I went to Beijing to catch the exam, if I hadn't met that old gentleman and had a night conversation with his old man, how could I have been in high school!
Not only that, but after being the top student in high school. was actually favored by the official department Shangshu, who was in charge of one of the six ministries, and married his only daughter to him. Since then, it can be said that it has been rising step by step.
Even Huang Ye himself sometimes feels that all this is too illusory. But whenever I look at the beautiful woman next to the pillow, the tentacles are the tender skin. Only then did Huang Ye completely believe in his heart that all this was really happening to him.
As soon as he thought of this, Huang Ye couldn't help but think of his wife. If it weren't for her reminder this time, I guess I wouldn't have been able to understand this matter so easily this time.
If you don't talk about anything else, let's talk about the things of the cultivators.
Huang Ye, who was born in poverty, how could he know these things. If it weren't for the fact that his wife had told him about this matter, I am afraid that when his wife said the word cultivation, he could only look at her with a confused face and ask her what kind of cultivator she was.
And Zhang Longhu, who came to the door later, probably didn't see him Huang Ye so easily.
And in the final analysis, it is still his Huang Ye's luck is too good, and there are too many nobles to hit!
Since dinner was not yet ready, Huang Ye had to accompany Chen Yijian and the others to sit in the living room in the back hall and wait.
Outside, I don't know when it has been drizzling.
The already cool autumn breeze blew into the hall through the rain curtain, which made people feel even more chilled.
Huang Ye's body sitting on the chair curled up slightly, looking at the night outside the house, the sight of the lingering drizzle in the Chinese lamp, there was a moment of trance. A fragment of a distant memory flashed in his mind, and he unconsciously murmured, "It's raining again." ”
Zhang Longhu, who closed his eyes and was recuperating from his injuries, did not answer, still like the old monk who had settled down and never moved.
It was Chen Yijian, who also turned his gaze to the outside of the house after hearing his words.
Looking at the rain curtain that was faintly getting worse, he smiled and asked Huang Ye, "Does Lord Huang like rain?"
Huang Ye thought for a moment and replied, "Yes! I have loved rain since I was a child!"
Without Chen Yijian continuing to ask, Huang Ye had already continued: "When I was young, my family was poor, and I caught up with the drought at that time. A drought is a whole year, and it can be said that the people have no harvest in a year, so many people in the village have died. My mother and I almost died in that drought, if it hadn't been for the ...... My dad brought some meat back from outside every once in a while, and I guess I've already been reincarnated as someone else by now.
I like it to rain, and that's when I started.
The first thing I do when I wake up every day is to open the window and see if it's raining outside.
Over time, I just liked the rain.
Later, whenever it rained, you could see the smiles on the faces of the people, and say to the relatives around them, there should be a good harvest this year. I just liked the rain even more. Especially after wearing this official uniform and becoming the nominal parent official of the people, he likes the rain even more. For I knew in my heart how much rain meant to the people. ”
After speaking, Huang Ye turned his head to look at Chen Yijian, smiled at him and asked, "Does Chen Gongzi like rain?"
Chen Yijian thought for a long time and replied: "I liked it for a while, but then I didn't like it so much." ”
Huang Ye smiled and nodded, but didn't ask the reason. "In fact, in my heart, I have always felt that if a person likes something, it does not have to be liked from beginning to end in order to be called really liked. I think that as long as there is a liking, it is a liking. Putting aside human nature, let's just say that all kinds of factors in the world will always affect a person to a greater or lesser extent. It may be inadvertent, or it may be intentional. Isn't it possible to conclude that the things you once liked just didn't like them?
For example, if a man says that he likes a girl, at first the man must really like the girl in his heart before he will say that he likes her. But later, for various reasons, the man no longer liked the girl. Could it be that this man actually didn't like that girl in the first place?
In my opinion, this is not the case.
Why?
Because a man will only tell her that he likes her if he really likes that girl. It's just that in the end, for various reasons, the two couldn't be together. And men's liking for girls is really there. ”
After Huang Ye said these words with a smile, there was already an inexplicable smile in his eyes when he looked at Chen Yijian again.
can be favored by a book and have high hopes for it. How can it be that person with a poor vision and a discerning sense of words and feelings?
You must know that the essence of the way of being an official lies in the word 'look'.
If you don't have this ability, no matter how knowledgeable you are, no matter how clever your statecraft is. It's coming, it's just a matter of mixing up with the county.
The reason why Huang Ye was suddenly favored by the Ministry of Rites was that he had this ability.
Otherwise, people are dignified from the second grade, and they have the title of "heavenly official". Why do you fall in love with a fledgling who has just been a high school champion and has not officially stepped into the temple?
Zhang Longhu, who had been recuperating from his injuries with his eyes closed, after listening to Huang Ye's words. Finally opened his eyes and turned his head to look at Chen Yijian. I wanted to see some changes in Chen Yijian's eyes, but he kept turning his head to look outside the house. Except for a side face, where can I see his eyes?
Zhang Longhu sighed a little helplessly, looked back at Huang Ye and said, "I didn't expect Lord Huang to be so clear about the truth here, he really deserves to be a scholar." ”
Huang Ye smiled, "Zhang Gongzi smiled, and he was just talking casually." Besides, how can the sages teach people these things, I have nothing to do to pass the time. ”
Zhang Longhu also smiled, "Lord Huang is modest, but what Lord Huang said just now sounds really reasonable in Poor Dao, and he has benefited a lot from it." Poor Dao thanked Lord Huang again, but his unintentional words benefited Poor Dao a lot. ”
Huang Ye was a little embarrassed: "Zhang Gongzi has won the award." ”
Slight footsteps came from the cloister outside the house. Huang Ye's wife, dressed in a pale yellow dress, walked in from the door. The appearance of light powder is not overwhelming. But the quiet smile on her cheeks also made her look particularly beautiful and moving, just like the slim twenty-eight girl.
After the woman walked into the house, she first gave Chen Yijian and Zhang Longhu a blessing with a smile. Only then did he say in a pleasant voice: "The meal is ready, please move to the side hall to eat." ”
The women who come out of everyone's big families are different, whether it is speaking or acting, they are all well-behaved, and they don't lose half of the etiquette.
Chen Yijian nodded and took the lead in getting up from his chair. After waiting for Huang Ye on the side to get up and walk outside the house, he helped Zhang Longhu to follow him and walked outside together.
Out of the back hall hall, around the eaves corridor. About 50 steps away, you will find the side hall where you can dine.
The side hall is not large, only half the size of the back hall. There is not much furniture in the side hall, except for a few essential things, a small round table in the center of the hall, and four small round stools.
At this time, eight dishes were neatly placed on the small round table. There are no big fish and meat, all of them are some seasonal vegetables.
After Chen Yijian helped Zhang Longhu to sit down on a round stool on the left, he sat directly opposite him. Although Huang Ye opened his mouth to let him sit in the top position, Chen Yijian didn't really sit down. Just smiled and said hello to him, sitting there was the same.
When everyone sat down, naturally a slave and maid stepped forward to serve food for the four of them.
Because no one was drinking, the dinner was eaten quickly.
After Huang Ye, the magistrate, finished eating and asked his subordinates to arrange a place for Chen Yijian and the others, he left the side hall with his wife.
Today, he is really tired.
Seeing off Huang Ye and his wife, Chen Yijian looked at Zhang Longhu and said, "Go back to the house to rest directly, or sit with me for a while?"
Zhang Longhu smiled, "It's really boring for the two big men to sit together, I'd better go back and recuperate." ”
Chen Yijian scolded angrily, "Get out!" and didn't bother to glance at him, so he looked directly out of the house, which was already pouring rain.
Zhang Longhu didn't care about this when he saw this, and walked away alone towards the outside of the house with a smile.
The servant girl who had helped serve the meal before was now followed by a servant girl of her age. After the two walked into the house, they just bowed to Chen Yijian slightly, and then busily cleaned up the leftovers on the round table.
After a while, the two of them left the house again, holding a large pile of dishes in their hands.
Chen Yijian waited for the two maids to leave for a while, and he was sure that no one would come here again. In the way of his heart, let the cocklings and weasels who were waiting outside come to this room together.
Chen Yijian withdrew his gaze from the outside of the house and looked at the weasel and crested starling that appeared in front of him out of thin air. A faint smile rose into her handsome cheeks, and she opened her mouth to say to them, "What I promised you before, I can give you now." ”
As he spoke, Chen Yijian raised his hand and waved it casually in front of him. A large pile of golden fragments suddenly appeared on the surface of the hall. Suddenly, the already bright side hall became a little brighter.
At first glance, when he saw such golden fragments, Rao was an indifferent character like a crested starling, and his eyes couldn't help but light up at this time. Looking at the golden fragments that almost looked like a small mountain bag, it swallowed a mouthful of saliva with some difficulty, its voice trembled slightly, and asked, "Big brother, are these the golden body fragments of the water god?"
Chen Yijian smiled, "Otherwise, what do you think, gold? I don't have so much money!"
The weasel who was already a hara, with a pair of small eyes spinning rapidly. looked at those golden body fragments, and then looked at Chen Yijian sitting on the stool. Countless thoughts flashed through my mind: "Big brother, you said before that I and the crested starling are one and a half, and you don't want it at all, is that the case?"
Chen Yijian was still smiling, "Don't worry, this thing is of no use to me." ”
Only then did a heartfelt smile appear on the weasel's face, "Then the little brother, I might as well be respectful, and accept the big brother's generous gift." ”
As he spoke, the weasel had already pounced and pounced towards the pile of golden body fragments.
Although he has to divide it equally with the crested starling, he can't keep all the golden body fragments for himself. But only half of it, after the weasel roughly estimated it in his heart, he also felt that it was enough for him to raise his cultivation level by one more liter.
After all, can't you be too greedy!
The pouring rain outside the house was like a naughty child, sometimes suddenly decreasing, sometimes pouring down.
Chen Yijian, who had been sitting in the side hall all night, finally waited for the end of the heavy rain in the early morning.
Stand up from the stool and stretch your stiff joints. Chen Yijian did not alarm anyone in the county office, including his friend Zhang Longhu, so he strode towards the outside of the county government alone.
In the early morning of autumn, it had just rained, so it was a little cold.
At the beginning of the day, the town seemed more peaceful than usual.
On the brick-paved streets, there are still countless puddles of water of all sizes. Gather the houses on both sides one by one. It's as if they're not just a puddle of water, but a blessed land with a unique cave.
Chen Yijian didn't deliberately avoid those puddles, just walked forward slowly.
How long has it been since you have let go of all your thoughts and walked quietly down the streets in the morning?
One year, two years, three years?
It seems to be more than that, remember the most recent one, it seems to have been five years, right?!
At that time, my sister was still at home, and my grandmother's body was still very healthy. As for himself, he is still a master who doesn't care about everything, and only thinks about playing around. Play when you're full all day, and eat when you're tired of playing. There is no thought in my head, and there is no sorrow. Not to mention the aqua blue dress.
The only thing that seems to be the sword in your hand, right?!
How chic!
How comfortable!
Chen Yijian's raised cheeks were already smiling brightly. Looking up at the sky, the low dark clouds have quietly dissipated, bordering the white clouds. Layered on top of each other, white with gray, gray with white. It is like a beautiful picture, stretching tens of thousands of miles across the sky, which is both stunning and shocking.
is Chen Yijian, who is accustomed to seeing countless winds and waves, and he can't help but have a thought in his heart at this time. Do you want to go directly to that world, so that you can feel its magnificent momentum for yourself?
But he soon dispelled this thought, for the simple reason that at the corner across the street, a man suddenly came out. Looking at the person's dress, Chen Yijian knew that he was an errand officer in the county government.
Chen Yijian saw that person, and that person naturally discovered Chen Yijian.
A hint of surprise flashed on his slightly dark cheeks, and then quickly returned to normal.
deliberately quickened the pace of moving forward a few points and came to Chen Yijian's side. The man stopped, smiled and clenched his fists, and said, "Lord Xianzun, got up so early?"
Chen Yijian smiled and said, "Come out for a walk, the air after the rain is quite fresh." ”
The man laughed, "It's not that I, Hu Bin, deliberately want to brag in front of you, Lord Xianzun, as far as the air of our Fuze Town is concerned, it is called a fresh and comfortable one." It's not an exaggeration to say that even some so-called fairy mountains don't have the good air we have here. ”
Chen Yijian agrees with this.
After walking such a long way, some famous mountains and rivers passed during the process, the freshness of the air is really not as good as here. It's either slimy and damp, or it's so dry that a little spark can burn the air in the whole area. Compared to Fukuzawa Town, it's really a sky and a land.
The only thing that Fuze Town lacks is that rich aura of heaven and earth.
Therefore, Chen Yijian did not recommend following Hu Bin's words and boasting about this Fuze Town, "The air in your town is indeed rare for me." ”
Hu Bin grinned proudly, "Yes, I didn't lie to you." ”
Chen Yijian smiled and nodded.
Hu Bin asked again: "Xianzun, where are you going so early?" Or do you just want to walk around?" If you don't think I'm arguing on the sidelines, I can take you to our town for a good walk. ”
Chen Yijian asked curiously: "Aren't you going to the county government on an errand, and you still have time to take me around the town?"
Hu Bin said with a comfortable face: "If it were the past, then I would definitely not have this time." But now, I have a lot of time. ”
Chen Yijian only thought about it for a moment, and then understood the meaning of his words. "In that case, then you can take me around. ”
Hu Bin shouted happily and immediately turned around. said: "Then I will take you to the easternmost part of our town, which is the liveliest part of our town. Don't look at the small scale of our town, but some of the must-haves are still very complete. Take the east end of the town as an example, what oil and salt grocery stores, iron shops, clothing shops, tea shops and restaurants, there are all kinds of them.
In the south of the town, there are mostly fireworks alleys. But Xianzun, don't get me wrong, the fireworks alleys I'm talking about are not the fireworks alleys in those big cities. The fireworks alley I am talking about is, more precisely, an elegant place for women to perform and scholars to do their work. It doesn't go along with the pickled meat business at all. ”
Hu Bin, who was walking in front with light steps, suddenly turned his head to look at Chen Yijian. A smile with a deep meaning appeared on his dark cheeks, "But if Xianzun wants to know a little bit about that fireworks alley, I can still take you there." After all, Xianzun, you are also a man, although you see some fairies every day, but after a long time, your eyes will be tired. Occasionally change the taste, and taste the different charm of ordinary people, is it also a good choice? Right?!"
Chen Yijian could only smile helplessly, not knowing how to answer his words at all.
Could it be that in his eyes, he is the kind of person who likes wind and snow?
Seeing that Chen Yijian didn't speak, Hu Bin didn't continue to say anything more on this topic. Turn your head and continue walking slowly.
But in his heart, such a person suddenly appeared. "Could it be that this Immortal Venerable is still a chick, right? Seeing that he is so young, when he talks about this kind of thing, there is a little shame in his eyes, could it be really a chick?!"
Next, Hu Bin roughly talked to Chen Yijian about the west and north of the town.
To the north of the town, he didn't say much. It's just that there are no people living there, and half of them don't live the old woman.
And when it comes to the west side of the town, Hu Bin's words are much more. It is said that it is the holy place of Fukuzawa Town, which is not only the only private school in the town, but also the location of four or five ancestral halls of the town.
Among them, there is the ancestral hall of his Hu family.
And when it comes to these things about his ancestors, Hu Bin, who already has a lot of words, becomes more and more talkative.
Regardless of whether Chen Yijian behind him was willing to listen or not, he told all the ancestors of their Hu family and some achievements. Not only that, but even the glorious events of those ancestors were also moved out by him one by one.
His grandfather's grandfather, how rich he used to be, how many roads he helped the town build.
What is his grandfather's grandfather's grandfather's grandfather, who once served as a servant of a certain big official, how high his martial arts are, and how much that big official trusts his grandfather's grandfather's grandfather's grandfather. And his grandfather's grandfather's grandfather's grandfather has such a status in the rivers and lakes, and there are many heroes in the rivers and lakes who respect him.
......
Anyway, along the way, Hu Bin's mouth never stopped for a moment.
But it's also strange to say, Chen Yijian who followed behind him. Not only did he not feel noisy because of this, but a wonderful smile appeared on his face.
This made Hu Bin, who inadvertently looked back and saw this scene, speak more and more energetically.
Spit stars fly.
