Chapter Ninety-Nine: The Merit of Fame, the Benefit of Profit
(The last chapter wrote the wrong number jù, the number of students admitted to this year's Yangzhou Township Examination is nineteen, and it was written as twenty-nine when I wrote it, which has been corrected and does not hinder reading, thank you for the careful reminder of "easy water gradually leaving"!)
At night, the Dragon Gate Inn, which had been noisy all day, calmed down. The township test list was released, the dust settled, and the spirit of the middle move was waiting to participate in the deer banquet presided over by Yangzhou Taishou;
At dinner, Chen Sanlang specially invited Zhou Hezhi and Gu Linchuan to a special banquet. Talking about his future plans, Gu Linchuan was going to lie down and try his courage after returning and make a comeback in three years; as for Zhou He's discouragement, he wanted to open a private school in the countryside and teach some Mengmeng schoolchildren, so he gave up.
Joys and sorrows, only tonight.
When the moon is in the middle of the day, the sky is quiet.
Chen Sanlang sat quietly cross-legged on the bed and did his visualization homework: after the middle lift, the "Haoran Silk Book" in his mind clearly changed.
This volume has a total of nine pages; when I first got it, I could only look at the more than 1,000 words on the title page, and I felt that it was very profound and difficult to understand; I slowly fed the blood and nourished the sword, and the little sword was nourished with spirituality, and finally opened the front to enlightenment; then this sword repeatedly made meritorious achievements, slashed evil spirits, absorbed nutrients, and greatly increased its power;
The relationship between the book and the sword complements each other; the small sword feeds back, so that the silk book turns the page, and the content of the second page can be seen; to the examination to get the fame of the show, the breath is warm, and the content of the second page is solid and clear, and there is no mistake.
Now, Xie Yuan, who is the first in the first exam, is fame, and the effect is naturally not idle. When contemplating, I feel clear and happy, and an invisible wind blows. The pages are turned, and the third page is presented. Characters appear in front of you like elves jumping out of their hiding places......
"The world is harmless. Although there are saints, there is nothing to do, and there is harmony between the upper and lower levels, although there are sages, there is nothing to make meritorious contributions......"
Reading the lines and sentences, it is like a stream flowing in my heart, and I actually taste the sweet taste, as if I am eating a delicious meal.
Reading is like a meal, and it is nothing more than that.
When it is time to be hearty, the rosewood box placed on the table opens automatically. A sword flew out, the light was sharp, and it flew around Chen Sanlang, looking very joyful.
“...... Therefore, it is said: times are different, things are different, ......"
My heart suddenly brightened, and I couldn't help but slap the table: "When the float is white!"
Sonor!
The whirling sword plunged straight into the ground, turning from a few inches of sharpness to a long sword. The sword body is simple and the color is deep.
This is called the realm of "standing"!
In the middle of the official body, this body stands.
The royal law of the Xia Yu Dynasty stipulates. Whoever obtains the status of meritorious service shall be a sword.
Chen Sanlang had a long sword in his hand, his heart was happy, and he looked at the rosewood box on the table. Secret Passage: I have to change the sword case......
It's just, what should it be replaced?
People in the rivers and lakes carry swords and swords, and they carry them more. But such a posture and way of doing it undoubtedly seems strange and peculiar in Shilin, and ordinary scholars carry swords. Hanging more on the waist - in fact, those who have made great achievements can wear swords, but when they travel. It's very rare to really have a sword with you, even if you wear a sword on your waist, most of it is a show, similar to a jade pendant, and it is stored as an ornament.
Chen Sanlang's situation is special, for him, the sword of slashing evil is almost a life-threatening blade, and he cannot leave his body.
From this point of view, it is more convenient to carry it in and out of the original pocket shape, slash evil spirits and eliminate demons, and there is no trace.
As soon as the thought came to him, he "hummed", and the evil sword seemed to be restored to its original state as he wished.
When Chen Sanlang saw it, he was pleasantly surprised: what is the origin of this thing? Is it really a legendary magic weapon?
In the realm of ritual weapons, no matter what level it is, I have never heard of anything that can change like this.
He twisted the little sword in his hand and looked at it lovingly: Baby, what a baby!
......
Towards September in Dongting Lake, every morning and evening, the cold is quite heavy, and there is frost and dew, which stains the dense reed poles.
On the shore of Dongting Lake, behind Yueyang Tower, there is a town, which is called "Dongting Town".
In the territory of the dynasty, Dongting Lake was not under the jurisdiction of the imperial court, and the same was true of Dongting Town. But the absence of jurisdiction does not mean that there is no order, in fact, on the contrary, the order of Dongting Town is better than that of any town. Once upon a time, there was an unwritten rule here: Whoever fights in vain will die!
Legend has it that this rule was made by the Dragon King.
The source of the rules cannot be examined, but it really exists. Over the years, the town has not been without self-sustaining outsiders, but their final fate is handsless and miserable.
It's also strange to say that the scope of application of this rule is only in the town, and it doesn't work in the marginal area, including the Yueyang Tower next door. Otherwise, that night, Yuan Geshu would not let the entourage and the Qingyi Jianghu guest do it.
If you don't do it, you may not have the later grievances and boredom.
These days, Yuan Geshu's mood is not very good, as if there is a thorn in his heart, he is uncomfortable, and the words of the green shirt always echo in his ears: "Borrowing the shadow of the ancestors for personal gain, doing great things and sparing his life, like dry bones in the grave, not a hero." ”
Yuan Geshu has been nurtured and taught by his father since he was a child, he has read the scriptures and strategies, his heart is extremely high, and he aims at the world, but now he suddenly ran out of a person, pointed at his nose and shouted a lesson: "You are not a hero and ......"
Such a tone is very similar to his father Yuan Wenchang. But Yuan Wenchang's godson is strict, he will scold, beat and punish, mainly to hope that his son will become a dragon. But the green shirt guest is a sentence, in order to erase and negate all the efforts of Yuan Geshu.
What's more, at that time, Brother Yuan Shu was really afraid that the other party would burst out and kill people, so he subconsciously hid behind the guards and watched the green-shirted guest leave.
The words of the green-shirted man were like a knife, cutting through the weakness that was hidden in his heart, revealing and bloody, feeling both fear and shame.
After returning to Dongting Town, Yuan Geshu immediately gave an order and sent people to search for the origin and whereabouts of the Tsing Yi Ke, but so far, nothing has been found. On the side of the Zhengyang Daoist, there is no way to calculate, and no clues can be found.
For this reason, Yuan Geshu seemed impetuous, and his plan to recruit strange people and strangers recently was also quite unsmooth.
Zhengyang Daoist looked in his eyes and was worried. He even wondered if the green-shirted man had deliberately come to rectify this and hit Yuan Geshu.
"September is coming. Seeing that great opportunity is about to emerge, at this time. The young master must not mess with himself......"
The Taoist priest decided to have a good talk with Yuan Geshu, and at this moment, if he felt something, he raised his head and looked south-
To the south is the direction where Yangzhou is located.
Zhengyang Dao's face was happy: "The third seed broke through the soil and sprouted, and the piglets began to grow fat...... Well, just in time!"
He pinched his fingers and felt a trace of doubt: "This person has high luck. It's really rare, just a short period of time, looking at its signs, I'm afraid that the color of fortune is light red, not far from the 'fortune head'......"
But this is not impossible, firstly, he has used the secret method to bless and fatten, and secondly, Chen Sanlang has been recognized by the name of that woman with a strange fate. Under the influence of many factors, it is not surprising that luck is high.
"Leave him alone, the faster he gets fat, the sooner he will be slaughtered. The greater the help to the young master...... Before you know it, the second pig is almost raised. ”
Over the years, in order to support Yuan Geshu's successful ascension, Zhengyang Daoist has almost traveled all over the territory of Yangzhou. Feng Shui, digging talents, and looking for indispensable food in the early days of captivity - more than ten years. He found only three people who were suitable for captivity, and cast secret spells on them.
in it. Du Yinyan is the first, and Chen Sanlang is the third. It will also be the last one. As long as Yuan Geshu absorbs these three grains, it will be determined as a qi number. As for the Central Plains in the future, it is not only determined by fate and fortune.
But what is certain is that as long as you take the first step to form a qi number, it will occupy a huge advantage, which will be irresistible.
"The foundation will be completed, just around the corner!"
......
The Luming banquet is scheduled for the third day after the release of the township test, presided over by the Yangzhou Taishou Wang Yingzhi, and the banquet invites the new imperial examination people, and the internal and external curtain officials who are responsible for the township examination, etc., and the venue is held in a large manor adjacent to the Yamen.
The name of this circle is called: Vientiane Garden.
There are many forests in the courtyard, rockery and flowing water, the scenery is pleasant, and the landscape is changeable, so it gets the name of "Vientiane".
The garden had already been arranged, and the yamen had sent 100 officials to enter the garden to be responsible for maintaining order and discipline.
On the morning of the start of the Luming Banquet, there was an endless stream of new imperial examination people who came to the banquet, all of them dressed brightly, which was completely different from the situation during the township examination. The most obvious point is that when they come, they basically come in a sedan chair.
Those who can make sedan chairs are all master-level characters.
Fame and fortune, once in hand, even if they were originally born in a poor family, but now that they have become famous, their own local gentry have sent silver and money, sent slaves, sent servants, sent houses and daughters -- the list of sons-in-law, and the dowry for marrying daughters is quite rich. Otherwise, how can you "catch" a son-in-law?
Among them, Chen Sanlang, who came on foot, stood out from the rest. He has just reached the crown, only has a fiancée, has not officially passed the door, and is handsome, the most important thing is that he is Xie Yuan. Therefore, in the eyes of many Yangzhou gentry, Chen Sanlang is an out-and-out sweetheart.
In the past few days, the threshold of the Dragon Gate Inn has almost been trampled.
Fortunately, Chen Sanlang had the foresight to move out of the Longmen Inn the next day after the release of the list and moved to another house, thus avoiding endless nuisances and troubles.
Today, he ran over to the banquet, and he was going to take a boat home after attending the banquet.
When they arrived at the Vientiane Garden, the officers and soldiers guarding the gate took the invitation, and their hearts sank, and they hurriedly let them go: I had heard in advance that Xie Yuan, who ranked first in this year's township examination, was very young, and now that he saw it, he was too young.
When I entered the garden, I saw many people greeting each other in twos and threes, and some people looked for opportunities to talk to the internal and external curtain officials, especially Su Yanran, the chief examiner of this year's township examination, who was surrounded by the most people. The people of the new imperial examination were respectful and courteous, and they were called "seat teachers". If you do it well, the relationship between the examiner and the seat teacher is quite useful.
Chen Sanlang's arrival also attracted the attention of the same list, who took the initiative to come over and said with a smile: "Xie Yuangong is here......
It's all polite words that don't have much nutrition.
Not long after, the king of Yangzhou Taishou should know that the lord came and announced the opening of the Luming banquet! (To be continued......)
