Seeing that the county man was about to step forward, the senior chief hurriedly stepped forward to lead the way, pushed open the remaining half of the door, looked inside, and said, "Hey, someone has stayed here overnight." ”

In the temple, the traces of the fire were still fresh, and the ashes of the incense had not dispersed with the wind, which immediately alerted the two knife-wielding men: "Please wait!"

As he spoke, he rushed in and searched the temple carefully.

Seeing this, the county Cheng didn't care, stepped in, took the incense in Qing'er's hand, and after the congratulations, he inserted it on the incense burner.

Suddenly, one of the guards was surprised.

"What's the matter?" said the county man with a frown.

"Sir, there is a sacrificial text here...... Come and have a look. ”

"Oh?"

The county Cheng Zhi Lu said that this tribe is not a fuss person, walked over, and saw a poem on the wall, at a glance, the wall is full of golden atmosphere.

"It's also a good sacrifice.,I don't know which student stays here at night.,There's a teenager's madness.,Mention the pen sacrifice...... Hey, this calligraphy is still very innovative. ”

The county was stunned, and faced up with this sacrificial text: "After learning the road passed, I was very emotional, and I would like to tell you: the general was born in the previous dynasty, out of the grassland, sometimes the emperor lost control of the world, and the people were in turmoil, so there were generals in the south and north to fight, repeatedly quelled riots, and the battlefield lasted for 14 years.

The county Cheng smiled first, his heart moved, this piece of sacrificial writing is still good, and he looked at it again in a blink of an eye, but he faintly saw a trace of green gas, and he was suddenly shocked and looked at it.

"Song of the Ancient Wei Battlefield"

"I don't see the ancients before, and I don't see the ones who come after.

"Thinking of heaven and earth, lonely and crying!"

These short twenty-two words, but they have a magical power, attracting the attention of this county Cheng, reading it repeatedly, and repeatedly, with a stunned expression, and the maid Qing'er behind him was surprised.

Because of the good effect from the top, she also knows poetry and is good at taste, but she has no fame, but she can't cultivate the Tao and can't see the literary tone, so she is a little surprised: "Master, although this poem is good, it is not like this, right?"

"Qing'er, you don't cultivate the Dao Fa, and you're a woman, it's hard to understand...... This sacrificial text is not enough, but this poem is golden and blue, and it cannot be regarded as common sense, it really needs to be carefully distinguished, this can be called a Taoist poem, which is extraordinary!"

Qing'er was surprised to hear it, this is an extraordinary evaluation.

When the county Cheng said this, he noticed the whereabouts of the poem, and his heart moved, and he couldn't help but sigh: "Ye Qing, presumably a child of the Ye family in this county, must be in white clothes without adding an official title...... But this sacrificial poem is faintly a style of people, this Ye clan's blessing is really enviable!"

When everyone heard this, they immediately echoed, and then saw the county Cheng ordering: "You go and check, what kind of person is this Ye Qing, I am the grandmaster of the county, I can't know the talents in the county!"

"Yes. Someone responded, and when the villagers below heard it, they were all secretly envious, faintly jealous.

According to the system of this dynasty, the county order governs the whole county, but the county is in charge of the literature and Taoism, and presides over the children's examination.

After the county Cheng inspected the north of the county, it was natural for him to visit the local wang clan to deepen contact and cooperation, and the Ye clan was naturally in the ranks.

Outside the building

Patriarch Ye Mengqiu's laughter could be faintly heard downstairs, obviously a rare joy, and as he got closer, his voice became clearer and clearer.

A seat to speak, the county Cheng's surname is Lu, Mingming, born in Luzhou Gaomen, he pulls a few bends, can be related to the Ye family, this county Cheng is also called uncle, which means that the two sides have a certain basis for cooperation, if they can find some common interests......

Ye Mengqiu was dressed in a white linen robe, his thoughts turned rapidly, and the movement of pouring tea in his hand was not slow at all: "It would be good for the adults to come earlier, and I can introduce my third son to you, he is a few years younger than you, and he has done the mountain goods business in Luzhou in the past two years, and he is worried that he is not familiar with life and has no help." ”

The county Cheng was dressed in blue casual clothes at the moment, and smiled: "This matter is easy to hear, when I go back to repair a book, the merchants in Luzhou will give some face, and this mountain goods, according to my way, here is close to Beibi Mountain, mountain goods are precious, but it is also difficult to get, it is rare to be able to do this step." ”

Ye Mengqiu personally presented a cup: "The virtuous nephew really has a heart for the people, and the old man replaces wine with tea and gives a glass to the villagers." ”

The county Cheng hurriedly took it with both hands: "For the first term of the official, for the benefit of one party, I dare not be the gift of Ye Gong...... In fact, I have already had the heart to go all over the county, but I have just arrived, and I can't steal the limelight of Lao Ming Mansion, so I have to recuperate in the county for half a year, ashamed, really ashamed!"

"Ming Mansion" is the county order, the chief official who is pressed on the county, and is also called "Baili Hou" in the officialdom.

Ye Mengqiu knew in his heart when he heard this, this is the county seeking a local alliance, but he is not in a hurry to express his position, and talks about some local anecdotes, this is not just reserved, after all, this is related to the rise and fall of a family's fate, even if he has a heart, he can't agree to it, it seems to be anxious and looked down upon.

The county is very familiar with this, and he is not entangled, and chats with him.

The breeze was slow, the small table became mellow for a while, after drinking two cups of tea and serving wine, Ye Mengqiu summoned three girls to accompany him.

The three girls are all sixteen or seventeen years old, without heavy makeup, dresses and veils, standing in Tingting, one by one with cloud temples and green silk, bright eyes and bright teeth, and the girl who accompanies the left side of the county is especially gentle and beautiful, and is called "Little Lotus" by the old man, laughing and harmonious scene, and her strength and knowledge are not like maids.

The county doesn't look at much, and the one who appears in this scene will not be the daughter of the clan descendant, maybe it will be the daughter of the family with the surname (referring to the daughter of the slave), but who knows if it is the distant daughter of the Ye family?

The county belongs to the category of late bloomers, and after the age of looking for flowers and asking willows, he attaches more importance to practical interests than wants to stick to trouble.

At this time, after three rounds of wine, the county man smiled and drank a glass of wine, and changed the topic: "Speaking of which, I encountered an interesting incident in the mountains two days ago, which may be related to the disciple of your family, and I have to ask my uncle." ”

These words really aroused the interest of the banquet, and Ye Mengqiu smiled even more and stroked the white beard: "Oh, I would like to take a closer look at it for adults." ”

The county recounted the experience of that night and solemnly recited the poem.

No one here is a contemptible husband, who knows how to taste poetry and literature, and is affected by a preconceived sense of expectation, and is amazed by this "Song of Ascending the Ancient Wei Battlefield" as soon as I hear it.

"I don't see the ancients before, and I don't see the ones who come after...... Although the text is simple, the meaning is timeless, who in my family has this style?" Ye Mengqiu pondered, remembering the preface, his eyes puzzled.

With this poem, it has long been famous in the clan, and it has been personally treated and cared for, how can it not be heard?

The three girls listened to the beautiful eyes, and this kind of story that only exists in the lyrics and singing books appears in life, which will always lead the girl's mind.

Xiaohe couldn't force the sister to hint at her, and because of her higher status, she asked on her behalf: "My lord, do you know who it is?"

"The signature is Ye Qing, I don't know if your family has ......"

"Ah, it's him......" Xiaohe was startled, and hurriedly covered his mouth, blushing at the faux pas, and secretly blamed himself for losing his temper in front of the distinguished guests.

The county Cheng didn't care about such subtleties, and his spirits perked: "This Ye Qing is really a child of your family? Forgive me for being lonely and unheard, I don't know if it is that virtuous person, can I meet him?"

When Ye Mengqiu heard Ye Qing, he was shocked in his heart, and immediately thought about it, but he was a very deep person, and while pondering in his heart, he said slowly: "It's a child of my family, who is only fifteen years old, and is about to take the children's exam...... Xiaohe, go and lead Ye Qing up. ”

"Yes!" Xiao He Yingying saluted, turned her body slightly, and turned down, her hair bun was inserted in a fan-shaped headdress, revealing a charming figure when she went down the stairs, and the lining was particularly charming!

The county man looked slightly dumbfounded, but when he came back to his senses, he saw Ye Mengqiu smiling: "This is my righteous daughter, only twenty-eight years old, if you think ...... adults"

"Cough!" The county was stunned, came back to his senses, coughed, and there was no abnormality on his white cheeks, and he raised a glass to invite: "When we meet, please don't reveal my identity...... The boy test is imminent, and it is not good to meet with the subordinate officials in private, and the more talented he is, the more he must be protected. ”

Seeing this, Ye Mengqiu no longer mentioned the matter of Xiaohe, and said respectfully: "Thank you for taking care of Ye Qing on behalf of Ye Qing." ”

The school building was not far away, but in just two quarters of an hour, Ye Qing was taken upstairs.

In the back layer of the most uninhabited place, Xiaohe turned around and kindly advised: "It's a distinguished guest who wants to see you, you can pay attention to what you talk about later." ”

"Thanks for mentioning that. Ye Qing arched his hand, walked forward, arrived inside, and waved at Ye Mengqiu and the middle-aged man: "Qing has seen the patriarch and this adult. ”

The young man's demeanor was in line with etiquette, and he had a kind of literary atmosphere, which made the county Cheng's eyes light up, glanced at Ye Mengqiu, and said with a smile: "Please sit, this banquet is only based on poetry, regardless of identity, the day before yesterday I saw this song "Song of Ascending the Ancient Wei Battlefield", I have a good aftertaste, I can't help myself, please solve my doubts......"

"Dare to disobey?" Ye Qing responded, looked at Ye Mengqiu, and saw him nodding, so he sat down.

Xiaohe did not reveal who the middle-aged man was out of the rules, but Ye Qing had seen it in his previous life, and he knew that it was the county Cheng, and when the county Cheng asked, Ye Qing answered one by one, without any confusion.

The county man asked, looked carefully, and saw that he had a mean appearance, and he was not happy at first, and his mood was reduced by seven points.

But then the question and answer made the county Cheng feel satisfied, and his appreciation increased a little, and he felt that no matter what the face was, the talent was there, so he said: "You are a good writer, there will be one more child this autumn!"

Ye Qing smiled bitterly, but did not answer, which made the county Cheng who was observing stunned: "What, what is your problem?"

The elder asked, Ye Qing said: "The night before, I dreamed that a golden armor god was called, so I walked thirty miles to the mountains at night, and stayed on the temple wall, this trip was really Meng Lang, so he was punished and grounded for three months by his family, Qing felt that this punishment should be, how dare he disobey his order?"

Hearing this, the county Cheng glanced at Ye Mengqiu, and saw that the old face was ochre, and Ha Luha smiled and revealed it on his behalf: "This is not so harsh, I will tell your patriarch, you just have to try." ”

Ye Qing was overjoyed and thanked Ye Mengqiu, and went down.

Looking at Ye Qing's back, Ye Mengqiu was thoughtful, squinted his eyes slightly and looked into the distance, and breathed a heavy breath for a moment.

Lu Ming was inadvertent, and said with a smile: "Your Ye family has another talent...... This son has a Taoist spirit and bones, he is a person in my generation, compared to the following, a little scheming, it is nothing, just human nature, uncle thinks anything?"

"Ha Luha, what I said is what I said, what I said ......" Ye Mengqiu smiled when he heard this, and did not speak again, just raised his glass.
