Chapter 34: A Long Road [End of the Volume]

Outside the window, the autumn wind is wheezing, blowing a clear stream, and the red leaves of the distant mountains are like a fire.

How could Old Man Ye not understand what Feng Yuzhang meant, it was clear that he was openly asking for bribes, and he still wanted to distinguish it. But he was pulled by Liu Yanchang, a greedy person is by no means swayed by a few words, but it is impossible to really satisfy him, and all that can be done for this kind of person is the rejection of righteous words, not endless accommodation.

When Liu Yanchang saw his sharp mouth and thin tongue, he suddenly had a plan, and asked with a smile: "Master Xuezheng, do you know how I climbed the Mingyue Tower and ate this wine?"

Feng Yuzhang thought that he wanted to open the topic, and snorted coldly: "Of course you came up, could it be that you rolled up?" This official is now discussing your future, don't talk about him left and right!"

Liu Yanchang was secretly angry when he heard this, a person who reads the books of sages and sages is not as good as a fool in the market, which is really ridiculous and pathetic. But the reason why Feng Yuzhang dared to be so blatant was precisely because he was in a position that could control the fate of others, so he thought that he had the weight to control others.

But he was wrong about Liu Yanchang, although he wanted to take the road of taking the imperial examination, he just hoped that one day he could pass through Huashan and find a marriage in his fate. As for the desire of most scholars to study and become officials, they are not attractive to him.

But after the mass grave incident, he was also sincere to the infatuated Cui Wan'er, so that his desire to see the Three Virgins was not so urgent. It doesn't matter if you meet by fate, it doesn't matter if you don't see it, so this book is also readable or not.

People say that "the sea is tolerant of all rivers, and there is tolerance, and the walls are thousands of thousands, and there is no desire to be rigid." Liu Yanchang has nothing to ask for Feng Yuzhang, and he has no scruples in speaking and acting, so he naturally becomes strong.

Liu Yanchang said unceremoniously: "It may be that the comprehension ability of the University of Science and Politics is really not very good, and it means that I have no long things and am penniless, why does this old Mr. Liao invite me to eat and drink?"

Feng Yuzhang was angry, and secretly thought to himself, even if he got the benefits, he couldn't let Liu Yanchang pass the hospital test. However, people who have been in officialdom for a long time can still have the thickness of their skin, and pretended not to care: "In this case, this official is listening!"

Even Liao Huai'an and Yan Chixia were interested, they were both outsiders, and it was inconvenient for them to meddle in these mundane things. Going upstairs to drink is also like-minded, I don't know what Liu Yanchang can pull out.

Before going upstairs, I met this old Mr. Liao by chance and heard him make a couplet. I was lucky to come out, and I was fortunate to go up to Mingyue Tower to drink together!" Liu Yanchang said slowly.

As the saying goes, "there is no first in literature, there is no second in martial arts", although Feng Yuzhang's character is not very good, and his nature is also greedy, he is also a reader who has experienced ten years of hard study. Hearing Liu Yanchang say that there is a couplet, he naturally had the idea of trying it out, and he confidently believes that a pair that a child can match, he will definitely be able to match more neatly and beautifully.

Feng Yuzhang made up his mind to suppress Liu Yanchang and asked, "I don't know what Shanglian is?"

"Shanglian is 'reeds on the wall, top-heavy and shallow!'" Liu Yanchang said slowly.

Feng Yuzhang frowned and thought about it, pretending to scratch his ears and cheeks, and thought about it for a long time, but he didn't have anything to say. Seeing that everyone's eyes fell on his face, he couldn't help but feel a little embarrassed, so he had to ask, "Then what is your right link?"

"Bamboo shoots in the mountains, with thick skin at the tip of the mouth and a hollow belly!"

"You, you, you Liu Yanchang!" Although Feng Yuzhang couldn't make the couplet, how could he not hear the charm in the couplet? It was clearly satirizing him, scolding him for being the reeds on the wall and the bamboo shoots in the mountains. Seeing Yan Chixia and Liao Huai'an laughing, he felt even more embarrassed, and hurriedly threw off his hands and went down to Mingyue Tower.

Old man Ye wanted to follow downstairs, but finally stopped, sighed and said: "Yanchang, you shouldn't be like this! I'd rather offend the gentleman than the villain, the old man was originally a good heart, but he didn't expect it to ruin your future, it's really a shame!"

"What's the shame of a villain's bad deeds, sir? Besides, if you read under this kind of person, it's better not to read this book, and I want to thank you, sir!" Liu Yanchang invited Old Man Ye to sit down, Yan Chixia and Liao Huai'an also got up to greet each other, a person of high moral standing is worthy of admiration wherever he is placed, regardless of ghosts and gods, they all have the same heart.

After drinking a few glasses of wine, Old Man Ye seemed to be a little drunk, and said wildly: "A person who is arrogant and arrogant, since ancient times, I don't know how many people there are, but I have left a few poems and a few volumes of poems? I can't say that it is completely useless for the country and the people, at least it is not a pillar of talent! Yanchang, the old man doesn't want you to become a cynical and empty vernacular, but also to be a good person to solve the country's worries, to calm the people, and to be a good talent to save the world and the people!"

"Sir, you're drunk!" Liu Yanchang said, he was not completely untouched when he heard these words, compared with "the worries of the world first and the joy of the world after the joy of the world", he still preferred to live a freer and more comfortable life.

"How can the old man be guilty? Since Nanling County can't tolerate you, you might as well go somewhere else to study! There is a Feng Yuzhang in the world, and not everyone is Feng Yuzhang, and this bit of silver was originally invited to drink to him, but now he can't use it, so I will give it to you to be a coil on the way to study!"

Old man Ye was holding a large handful of broken silver, almost a dozen taels, which was estimated to be all the savings he had for most of his life. I didn't expect him to take it all out for Liu Yanchang, but what did he want? It was Liu Yanchang's talent that would not be wasted, and his life expectations would not be shattered!

"I can't accept the money, but I promise my husband, I will read this book!" Liu Yanchang bowed to Prime Minister Ton, only to feel that his eyes were slightly moist and his shoulders were heavy.

"Take it, I have no children and no daughters under my knees, and half of my body is in the ground, what else do I need to do with these things outside my body?"

Liu Yanchang held a thousand catties of silver, looked at the back of Old Man Ye leaving, and his heart was indescribable, and he could only pass on this sincerity and hope.

He had already made up his mind to take out the remaining silver from his family and build a brand new school in Qingxi Town. Not for anything else, but for a respectable gentleman here.

The feast is over, and it is time to say goodbye. Liao Huai'an, as the land of Qingxi, will still guard this land, and Yan Chixia has also embarked on his journey, but he doesn't know when and what month he will arrive at Lanruo Temple in Jinhua.

Three days later, the people spread wildly, and Jiang Dachuan, the county commander of Nanling County, had his head removed. I heard that it was done by a bearded swordsman, and I don't know how many people secretly clapped their hands, and this cool official finally got the end.

Liu Yanchang knew that this swordsman was Yan Chixia. He is a sword immortal, he does not seek eternal life, only seeks pleasure and revenge, and is different from ordinary people in the rivers and lakes who kill when they are angry, but he also likes to play the name of chivalry and righteousness for the heavens.

Because Liu Yanchang handed over the evidence collected by Cui Wan'er to him, there were several letters, and their signatures were Jiang Dachuan, Zhao Yuanwai, and the prefect of Bazhou Mansion. They didn't know how to learn that there was an ancient inkstone in the home of a down-and-out Xiucai, which was the extremely prestigious Chengni inkstone in Yuzhou.

And the prefect of Bazhou is just a person who likes to collect inkstones, and he has long wanted a Chengni inkstone, but unfortunately he has never encountered the best. In this way, Jiang Dachuan and Zhao Yuanwai secretly conspired, killed people and seized treasures, and secretly dedicated themselves to the prefect.

In the end, each took what he needed, one rose to prominence, and the other became a rich man. Only Xiucai's family was crying and crying.
