"Eh, I said Brother Yan. Do you look down on scholars, or do you look down on my Xiao family. Dong Ping looked back when he heard the sound, and saw a long-faced man in a white shirt looking at the man in yellow playfully.

The man in yellow clasped his fists and said, "Eh, what is Mr. Liu talking about." I, Yan Zhuang, look down on anyone, and I can't look down on you, Mr. Liu. ”

The person behind him was Liu Futang, and he handed the gift box in his hand to a subordinate next to him and said with a smile: "Since this is the case, then please ask Brother Yan to make it convenient, I see that this son has a bit of eyesight, so it is better to let this son go in with me." Since they are all here to congratulate Yan Dangjia on the joy of housewarming, why did Brother Yan bother to drive people out?"

When Yan Zhuang heard this, he lowered his head and thought about it. At this time, Liu Futang took two steps forward and took out a silver ticket with a denomination of five hundred taels from his body and stuffed it into Yan Zhuang's hand. After Yan Zhuang put the silver ticket away, he laughed loudly: "Since Mr. Liu has spoken, then I will let him in, but Mr. Liu has to take care of the people you brought in, don't go wrong." Otherwise, I wouldn't be able to afford it. ”

"Well said, well said. Liu Futang said that, then stretched out his hand to Dong Ping and said, "Son, please." ”

Dong Ping smiled and said, "Thank you, Mr. for your help, sir, please." ”

Liu Futang smiled, and was not polite, so he took the first step up the mountain road. After all the people in Liu Futang went up, Dong Ping and Leng Piaopiao also quickly followed.

Leng Piaopiao glanced at Dong Ping, and then said softly: "Do you know this person?"

Dong Ping shook his head and did not speak.

After a while, Dong Ping took two quick steps, came behind Liu Futang and said with a smile: "Mr. Fang just spoke up, which really makes me admire." ”

Liu Futang stopped when he heard this, he turned around and smiled at Dong Ping: "Gongzi should be a Jinshi in the seventeenth year of Houde." ”

Dong Ping nodded and said, "Yes, Mr. Fei and Zai are the same scholars?"

Liu Futang shook his head and denied: "I am a Jinshi who is one session ahead of you, and in the year of your imperial examination, I received the emperor's favor and became the invigilator." I also flipped through all the exam papers of that year, and there was an article in which I was deeply moved, and I later learned that the person's name was Dong Ping. I think this name should be very familiar to Childe, right?"

Dong Ping was slightly moved when he heard this, he shook his head and said, "I'm ashamed, it's Dong Ping down there." ”

Liu Futang nodded and said: "Back then, I had the intention of intersecting with my son, but I missed the opportunity." Later, the son used his own strength to directly attack the darkness of the temple, but it was really admirable. ”

Dong Ping said with a smile: "I didn't expect that my husband and I would have such an intersection back then, a trip to the mountains and a trip to the water." After going around and around, I didn't expect to meet my husband here today, this world is really small and pitiful. ”

Liu Futang said with a smile: "It was precisely because I saw the prince back then, as a small official of the seventh grade, that I dared to attack those royal relatives and nobles, and the party and government factions. I was deeply touched by the following, and I also wanted to emulate what Childe did. But before the memorabilia was handed over to the official family, it was detained by the Zhongshu Province. In the next year, he was also soft-spoken, not much better than his son. When I saw that the political situation of this temple was hopeless, I simply resigned from the official position and enjoyed the mountains and rivers. Later, by mistake, he became Xiao Da's staff, which can be regarded as a creation. Speaking of this, Liu Futang looked sideways at Dong Ping and said, "By the way, Dong Gongzi, why did you come here too, I heard that you didn't go north back then?"

Dong Ping shook his head and said with a wry smile: "Mr. is right, after going to the north, although the days are colder, they are also comfortable." But who would have thought that the inner person was pregnant. ”

Liu Futang said with a smile: "Dong Gongzi, this is a good thing! Unlike the insiders below, I have been married for many years, but I still haven't had a man and a woman. ”

Dong Ping nodded and said: "A good thing is a good thing, but if you want to feed their mother and son, it is absolutely impossible for me to plant one acre and three points of thin land." I also wanted to find a job, but when I heard that I was a reader, my face changed. Later, I also did business for half a month, but I didn't have that brain, and some of the capital I had was cheated away.

In a difficult situation, I had to think about going to my old friends and getting a job. But who would have thought that when he came to Shuzhou, he would be swept out of the house by others, and it was really a matter of fact. ”

Liu Futang was slightly stunned when he heard this, and then said with a smile: "Dong Gongzi wants to come to Lu Yiqi." ”

Dong Ping listened to this, his heart was stunned, and then he nodded and said, "How did Brother Liu know?"

Liu Futang said proudly: "I know this matter as soon as I think about it, Dong Gongzi seems to have only one good friend in the past, and Lu Yichi now happens to be the supervisor of Shuzhou." Dong Gongzi didn't come to take refuge in him, or to whom?"

Dong Ping laughed at himself when he heard this: "I see, after coming to Chengdu, I was swept out of the house by Lu Yiqi." With the little money I have, I can't go home. Later, I heard that this Thousand Islands Mansion is a place outside the world, so I came here to see if I could find a way out. ”

Liu Futang nodded and said, "Dong Gongzi, do you know why Na Lu Yichi refuses to arrange an errand for you? With his power in Shuzhou, he wants to arrange a fat errand for you, but it is very easy." ”

Dong Ping said with a smile: "I don't know this, but I haven't met for a long time, and the relationship back then has faded a lot." ”

Liu Futang sneered and said: "That's just an inconsequential little thing, do you know who Nalu took refuge in after resigning and leaving Lin'an?"

"Lu Yichi has always been clean, he shouldn't be involved in party disputes, right? If you want to say who he has taken refuge into, I really can't think of it. Dong Ping frowned.

Liu Futang said lightly: "Nalu is a foot away and has taken refuge in the Qinshan Party." ”

Hearing this, Dong Pingden was stunned in place, this performance was not pretended by him. For the Qingliu people in the temple, there is an intersection with the Qinshan Party, which is the most despised.

"Dong Gongzi doesn't need to be shocked, it's true, Lu Yichi is the Qinshan Party you once criticized. Because although Lu Yichi did not have friction with the Qinshan Party in the past, everyone in the court knew that Lu Yichi was against the Qinshan Party. So when he joined the Qinshan Party, there was also an uproar.

Later, with the support of the Qinshan Party, Lu Yichi became bigger and bigger, and he Lu Yichi became a sharp knife for the Qinshan Party to attack other parties. However, once, Lu Yichi offended the Jiang Duan family. When these two families wanted to make a move on Lu Yichi, Lu Yichi left Lin'an and came to Shuzhou under the arrangement of the Qinshan Party to avoid the limelight. Do you say that he will arrange errands for you, a former best friend, and now an enemy?"

Dong Ping was relieved when he heard this: "Brother Liu said this, then I will understand." ”

"If he had said so, Na Lu Yiqi would not have arranged an errand for me. But now that he has arranged for me, he fell to the ground because of his guilt, or is there anything unspeakable about his defection to the Qinshan Party back then?" Just as Dong Ping was secretly thinking to himself, Liu Futang suddenly asked: "By the way, Dong Gongzi, what is the origin of this friend who came with you? Looking at his handsome appearance and wearing a sword, he looks like a chivalrous man?"

Dong Ping came back to his senses and said, "Brother Liu's vision is really vicious, what you said is right." This young man's surname is Leng Mingpiao, and he is a friend I made on the way to Shuzhou. The two of us hit it off at first sight, and this way to Shuzhou also relied on his ability to repeatedly rescue me from danger. He was also a homeless man, so he came with me to find a way out in this Thousand Islands Mansion. ”

Liu Futang laughed and said, "Okay, Brother Dong, you can be regarded as having a noble person to help you." You can rest assured, with your talents, you will definitely be able to find a way out in this Thousand Island Mansion. If you don't dislike it, then go back to Xiao's house with me. If you and I can assist Xiao Da in charge together, why don't you want to do a big thing! Dong Gongzi, you don't know, although my life in the Qiandao Mansion in the past two years has been comfortable, but it is very boring, and there is no one who can even fight against me. ”

Dong Ping said with a smile: "Brother Liu helped me today, I am already grateful, where can I trouble Brother Liu again." ”

Liu Futang waved his hand and said, "I know that Dong Gongzi is an arrogant person. You are not uncommon to eat this kind of food, but if you come to me again when you have no way out in this Thousand Islands Mansion, I am also welcome. ”

"Naturally, thank you Brother Liu for your kindness. ”

Dong Ping said that, and slowed down his pace, waiting for Leng Piaopiao to catch up. Dong Ping turned his head sideways and whispered to him: "I don't know him, but he knows me." ”

Leng Piaopiao smiled and said: "You are a celebrity, this is not bad, multiple friends, and it is convenient to do things." ”

"Friend......" Dong Ping muttered, thinking in his heart: "I don't know what happened to Brother Feng and Brother Xiao now." ”

After saying nothing for a while, Dong Ping and Liu Futang had reached the end of the mountain road. At this point, it's time to move on. After going down the mountain, five or six miles away, there is the new mansion built by Yan Bede.

Daqu and Dou Budian put down the congratulatory gifts in front of Yan's house, Daqu glanced at the mansion, and couldn't help but scold: "Isn't this Yan Bede's old home?" ”

As soon as the two put down the congratulatory gift, someone came over and carried it away, and there were people next to them who recorded it in the book. Seeing this, Daqu said with a smile: "They are all good deer antler gastrodia, which are worth a lot of silver." With that, Daqu clapped his hands and crossed the threshold of the gate with Dou Buyan.

As soon as they entered the mansion, the two saw that there were already many people gathered in this courtyard, but they looked left and right, but they didn't find any trace of Yan Silang.

They didn't know that at this time, Yan Silang was pinching the shoulders of an old man with yellow spots on his face and who was not confused.

"Grandpa Yan, my strength is still appropriate, right?" Yan Silang said with a smile.

"Comfortable, Nizi, how long have you not been here to see grandpa and me? If it weren't for the old man, I would have set up a banquet here, but I wouldn't have expected you to pinch my shoulders and beat my legs!" the old man smiled and said with emotion.

Yan Silang smiled: "Look at what you always said, you want me to pinch your shoulders and beat your legs, isn't that just a matter of words?"

The old man waved his hand and said: "Nizi, you are now the treasure in the eyes of Yan Xiaozi, where does this old man dare to call you, you can occasionally come to see me, then I will be content." ”

Yan Silang smiled when he heard this: "Grandpa Yan, don't look at you living in this deep island, but you are very well-informed. In the past few days, these things have happened in the house, I think you know it. ”

The old man smiled: "Old man, old man." The things in this house, my old man's eyes are dizzy, his ears are occluded, and he can't hear or see. ”

Yan Silang said with a smile: "Look at what you said, grandpa, you are deaf and clear-sighted, and everyone in the house knows it, what else can I hide from you?"

When the old man heard this, he raised his hand and patted the back of Yan Silang's hand gently, signaled her to stop, and sighed: "Nizi, I understand, you didn't come to see me today, but to talk from my old man's mouth." But alas, what you want to know, I don't know anything about the old man. ”

Yan Silang was silent for a moment when he heard this, and then said in a deep voice: "Then it's a pity, I went to Lei's house that day, and I wanted to ask Na Lei Chong for a story about the tragic death of my Yan family's brothers."

Fair. But that Lei Chong not only pretended to be stupid, but even threatened me. Fortunately, the dragon master came in time to relieve my granddaughter from the siege. But later they said that the attack on Sijun Island that night was faked by someone else. They also said that Grandpa Yan repaired the mansion in order to hide people's eyes and ears, and secretly imitated the style of their Lei family's Guanyin in order to frame them. ”

After hearing this, the old man straightened up and said, "Are they really saying that?"

Seeing this, Yan Silang was overjoyed, and then hurriedly said: "Can this be fake, but I don't believe my granddaughter, I think they are teaming up to detain that dirty water on Grandpa Yan's head!"

When the old man heard this, he laughed, he shook his head and said, "Nizi, you still have to practice your deceitful skills." I didn't use this trick 20 years ago, old man. If this thing is used well, it can deceive people, but if it is not used well, it is to lift a stone and shoot yourself in the foot. ”

When Yan Silang heard this, he sneered: "Grandpa Yan, if you think so, then I will rest assured that my granddaughter." Today is a day of great joy, if you take this as a joke and enjoy yourself, it is better than taking it seriously and adding to your own blockage. ”

The old man kept tapping his fingers on the armrest of the chair, and after a while, he spoke, "Nizi, I'll tell you the truth." I've seen through what has happened in this house in the last few days, old man, but I can't tell you what I've seen through. ”

Yan Silang smiled and said, "This place is just me and grandpa, what did you say, who would know?"

The old man said lightly: "It's not that I'm afraid that anyone knows, but Nizi, your heart hasn't arrived yet!" As soon as the old man's words fell, two people walked in carrying a large wooden box.

After the two put down the wooden box, one of them said, "Boss, this is a congratulatory gift from the Yan family, and it has just been delivered." ”

The old man glanced at the two of them and said slowly, "What did you send?"

The man replied, "It's deer antler, gastrodia, and ginseng, all of which are top-grade medicinal materials." ”

Yan Silang answered: "Grandpa Yan, these are all treasures for healing and recuperation. ”

The old man said lightly: "Nizi, do you know what the deadliest disease in this world is?"

Yan Silang shook his head and said, "My granddaughter doesn't know, and I ask Grandpa Yan to speak up." ”

The old man smiled and said, "The biggest disease in this world is poverty! Even if it's just a small wind chill, but if they don't have the money to see a doctor, the wind chill will turn into tuberculosis. Grandpa, I've been poor all my life!"

Hearing this, Yan Silang said in his heart: "I just talked about so much, it seems that it is all for the dog." This old man is not only timid and afraid, but also loves money like life. After thinking about it, Yan Silang smiled and said: "Grandpa Yan, these medicinal materials are carefully selected by my granddaughter, and they are a hundred times more valuable than ordinary heavy gold and silver." ”

When the old man heard this, his eyes lit up.

"Nizi, your intention is only now counted. ”

"Then ask Grandpa Yan for some advice. ”

The old man smiled: "Just because you are in this mountain, you must tie the bell to the bell." ”

Yan Silang smiled when he heard this: "Grandpa Yan, although I don't read much, these two sentences don't seem to come from the same poem, right?"

The old man didn't speak at this time, and after a while he said, "It's all inside." ”

Before and after Dong Ping and Liu Futang came to Yan's house, Liu Futang said sarcastically: "Sure enough. ”

Dong Ping smiled when he heard this: "Oh, why did Brother Liu say this?"

Liu Futang said lightly: "Dong Gongzi has never been here before, so I don't know that this mansion is not newly built, but only renovated. ”

Dong Ping frowned and said: "This is strange, since it is just a renovation, then how can there be the joy of housewarming?"

Liu Futang said with a smile: "Everyone who came here today has their own thoughts, but their minds are nothing more than trying to guess Yan Bede's thoughts, but I don't need to guess, I already know what Yan Bede is thinking." ”

"Oh?"

Liu Futang continued: "Then Yan Bede just wants to take advantage of this banquet to receive some congratulatory gifts for the purpose of collecting money. You don't know, that Yan Bede is very money-obsessed, no matter how many ways to make money, he can come up with it. ”

Dong Ping said secretly when he heard this: "Since you are greedy for money, then some things are easy to do." ”

At this time, Liu Futang threw the congratulatory gift he brought to the side and said: "Tell you that the master, how much he knows, then there are as many things as there are." ”

Leng Piaopiao looked at the box, but muttered in his heart. When she was about to speak, Dong Ping held her down and said to Liu Futang: "Brother Liu, what kind of treasure are you giving today?"

Liu Futang said with a smile: "Some things that Yan Don't have to like, by the way, Dong Gongzi, I see that your gift box is eight or nine points similar to mine." But with your current financial resources, you can't afford to buy any good things. ”

Dong Ping said quite embarrassedly: "Brother Liu is right, it is indeed something worthless. After that, Dong Ping also put his congratulatory gift on the table and recorded it

The person said: "Dong Ping specially came to meet Yan Dangjia, and this congratulatory gift is a little heart. If Yan Dangjia is willing to see the next side, then how much and how much this thing wants. ”
