Chapter 197: The trip to Nanyang, three visits to celebrities
The next day, Chen Sanlang returned to Jing County, and it was already evening after finishing some entertainment. Pick up Xu Jun to come over for dinner, the family is just right - the martial arts hall is still rented, Xu Jun said, this is a little effort of his father, and it can't be wasted.
It was night, when the moon was in the sky, and after bathing, Chen Sanlang came to the well in the backyard with a book. As if telepathically, a red carp emerges from the water, its tail swaying and making a splash to express her joy.
After reading a book in a frustrated manner, she went back to her room to sleep, and the little dragon girl fell asleep as scheduled: the still vast Dongting Lake, the still boundless sea of reeds, Ao Qing's eyebrows and white shirt are better than snow, standing pretty, tall and tall. It's just that the face is still a little blurry, and I can't see it clearly, only a pair of bare feet, unstained and exposed, slender and delicate.
If Xu Jun's beauty is charming, then the beauty of the little dragon girl is natural and unstained with fireworks.
Without further ado, Chen Sanlang got straight to the point and told Ao Qingmei about being invited by Long Jun to watch paintings on Yueyang Tower.
Ao Qingmei replied, that is the secret technique of the Dragon Palace, and the essence of the truth is actually similar to her current dream.
Chen Sanlang asked again about the details of the Dragon Palace.
Ao Qing's eyebrows sank slightly, and said, "Childe, the matter of the Dragon Palace is really not good. ”
Chen Sanlang was not surprised by this answer, presumably there were some taboos involved, so Xiaolongnu was obscure. Not to mention the crab over there, he kicked the ball over directly.
After a pause, Chen Sanlang remembered something, and thought of the mysterious hunchbacked old man he had encountered twice in Yueyang Tower, so he asked tentatively.
Ao Qing sighed faintly: "He is a senior of Longcheng, just because he made a mistake, he was punished, and he was trapped in Yueyang Tower for a hundred years. ”
So that's the case, what Chen Sanlang actually wants to know most is the information about the Dragon City, so that he can formulate a strategy to rescue the prospective father-in-law. But it is inconvenient for the other party to speak, so he can't force him to ask.
In a dream, the rooster crowed. Reminiscing about the process of the dream, communicating with each other happily and benefiting a lot. After getting up and washing, I went to the hall for breakfast, and Mr. Yang came over.
This old gentleman can be described as full of red light and high spirits.
Can you not fly? There was a champion student, such an honor, and the depression of half of his life was swept away in an instant.
In ancient times, there were three outlines and five constants, among which the relationship between teachers and students was not far behind, and even triumphed.
Compared with the old gentleman, Uncle Hua, the old housekeeper over there, is also proud. He has served the Chen family conscientiously for decades, no matter whether he is poor or poor, he has already made up his mind to let go of this old bone, he is the Chen family in life, and he is the ghost of the Chen family in death, and he will never abandon it.
The young master is really competitive, if he doesn't make a sound, he is a blockbuster, and he is even in the middle of the three yuan.
Now it's good, years of hard work have been rewarded, the land has been divided, the land has been owned, and the mother-in-law has been married. Sleeping with my mother-in-law in my arms at night, it feels so good, and I am more happy than the gods. These days, it is really the old tree that can bloom in spring, and under the hard work, the mother-in-law is pregnant with her own flesh and blood......
One person ascends, and the chicken and dog ascend to heaven. It is a derogatory term, but it is undoubtedly the most realistic.
"San Lang, what are your next arrangements?"
Mr. Yang drank tea and asked.
The money was invested in the construction, and the basic expenditure was completed, and the foundation on Chenjiazhuang's side came to a halt. The foundation of the family academy has been laid, and the walls have never been built.
Lack of money.
This lack of money, whether you are a literati or a Qing official, or a talented and beautiful person, or a flat-headed commoner, is a headache.
When Chenjiazhuang was built, it was too wide because of the area. Strictly speaking, it is not in line with the constitution, and it is easy to give people authority. However, at that time, Lord Lu of the county was instructed by the higher authorities to let himself go, so he saved a lot of trouble.
Up to now, Chen Sanlang is the top student in high school, and his reputation is not small, and the specifications are basically in line. Next, it depends on whether it can be established and developed, which is the most critical place.
Mr. Yang is actually worried, money is on the one hand, and on the other hand, it is about Chen Sanlang's appointment. He didn't ask in detail, but according to the usual practice, after the champion returned to his hometown, he would return to Beijing and enter the Hanlin Academy.
I don't know what time I entered Beijing and returned to my hometown.
Chen Sanlang said: "Sir, I will enter Nanyang Mansion in a while." ”
The old gentleman nodded: "Yes." ”
At the beginning, Chen Sanlang entered Nanyang College, although the time was short, he went to Enke Township because of Enke. But to go to school is to go to school, and the gentleman inside is also a teacher, so you must visit and be grateful.
In the past, there were many trips to and from Nanyang Mansion, but this time, it was the most grand.
Chen Sanlang prepared a cart of gifts, pulled them by horse, and sent them to the boat. In addition to the two entourages, Xu Jun was naturally missing.
There are many things, take a big boat, sail and sail, ride the wind and waves, and the speed is much faster than the canopy boat. When we arrived in Nanyang, it was still early. Straight into Nanyang Academy, there is a lot of excitement.
The familiar faces were enthusiastic, and Gu Linchuan had gone to Jing County to congratulate him before. In the crowd, Chen Sanlang also found a lonely face, Qin Yushu.
Qin Yushu's expression was gloomy, compared to Chen Sanlang, who had infinite scenery, he still had to study hard in the academy now, accompanied by the cold window, and he didn't know when he would be able to get out. It's just sad, time has passed, the gap between his and Chen Sanlang's identity is getting bigger and bigger, he is already a person from two worlds, where do you dare to be dissatisfied?
Then Chen Sanlang went to visit Dean Song Zhiyuan and had a pleasant greeting.
Knock knock!
In a hurry, Song Kechan almost trotted to the living room.
Song Zhiyuan said: "What kind of system!"
Song Kechan understood her father's temper and didn't take it to heart at all, but when her eyes caught a glimpse of Xu Jun sitting next to Chen Sanlang, her heart suddenly became cold.
"Still not sitting down?"
Song Zhiyuan frowned.
Song Kechan pinched the corner of her clothes with her small hand, and said hesitantly: "Father, I, I'd better go back to the room." ”
He walked out with his head down.
Song Zhiyuan sighed faintly, he understood his daughter's thoughts. But there are some things that cannot be forced.
Chen Sanlang didn't stay in the Song Mansion for too long, and after drinking tea, he went out of the city to the suburbs to Taoranzhuang to find Zhou Fencao. This is the third time I've visited him.
It's dinner time, so let's eat together. After dinner, we had tea and started talking about things.
Zhou Fencao looked at Chen Sanlang with shining eyes, and sighed: "Daoyuan, the old man really didn't expect you to be able to win three yuan, you are really a terrifying young man." ”
"Gong Cao has a good reputation, maybe, I'm lucky. ”
"Luck?"
Zhou Fencao said disagreeingly: "A song "Water Tune Song Head" has spread all over the country, and a "Story of Yueyang Tower" has been called a swan song for the ages. With such a literary mind, I took it. ”
As he spoke, he stood up and shook his head.
Chen Sanlang hurriedly returned the salute, and secretly rejoiced in his heart: It seems that there is a play.
"The worries of the world are worried, and the joys of the world are happy. The words of the true benevolent are also true, my generation of scholars, who have been diligently pursuing it all their lives, nothing more than that. ”
Zhou Fencao is truly appreciative and admired, if the previous pair of poems still belongs to the category of talent, then this article is an intuitive expression of personal aspirations and feelings. This kind of mind-blowing style sweeps away the glamorous style of today's literary circles and is thought-provoking.
Coupled with the mysterious gimmick invited by Long Jun, it is unceremonious to say that the current Chen Sanlang's reputation has risen by leaps and bounds, and he can almost compete with a few Shilin leader-level figures.
Or it is an exaggeration to say this, after all, Chen Sanlang is a cutting-edge, young and lacks precipitation, but it is precisely because of his youth that the prospects are more ambitious.
Speaking of which, Chen Sanlang didn't hide it: "Divide Cao Gong, the students came to visit this time, and they have something to ask for." ”
Zhou Fencao looked at him with burning eyes, and did not answer: "I have been to Jing County once. ”
When Chen Sanlang heard this, he was thoughtful, but he didn't speak, just listened to him continue.
"The Jinghe River is a good place to be selected, and the planning is far-reaching. It's just that I don't understand, you are now the top student in the exam, and you will enter Beijing and enter the Hanlin Academy in the near future, why do you have to spend so much effort to establish a foundation?"
What Zhou Fencao is most puzzled about is here, how difficult it is to be peaceful when being an official, because every once in a while, there will be promotions, changing from one place to another. Of course, Chen Sanlang did things in the name of establishing a family foundation, but it was justified. But those who soar to the top, after returning to their hometown, will definitely carry forward the family.
This is the most basic and the most realistic problem. The local concept of the ancients was deep-rooted, and if there was no family, it would be like duckweed, with a superficial foundation. But the concept of family does not only refer to people who are related by blood. This is a misunderstanding, a big family contains many levels, the blood person is the core, in addition, there are distant relatives, there are also family children, and there are doormen and staff and so on.
It is understandable to build a family business, but the problem is that Chen Sanlang has invited Zhou Fencao several times for this reason, which is a little intriguing.
Zhou Fencao is also a jinshi, and his fame is here, isn't it ridiculous to ask one jinshi to manage family affairs for another?
What's more, Zhou Fencao is still a senior celebrity, so Chen Sanlang insisted on inviting him, it was not so simple, but had other plans.
This is the joint that Zhou Fencao can't understand, it stands to reason that Chen Sanlang took the top exam and entered Beijing as an official, and An An was divided. When it comes to this part, there are other thoughts, which is a bit of a fool's dream, thinking too much.
Chen Sanlang knew that this trip would not be easy, whether the title of champion worked or not would vary from person to person, he groaned slightly, and reached out to take out a roll of yellow silk.
Zhou Fencao looked at it, and his eyes shrank: "This is the holy decree?"
Chen Sanlang nodded: "This is the emperor's secret decree to me. ”
Hearing that it was a secret decree, Zhou Fencao didn't dare to take a look. He also didn't doubt that Chen Sanlang would use such things to deceive himself, the involvement was too great, but it was the crime of punishing the Nine Clans.
Chen Sanlang said slowly: "The emperor has an order, and my post is not in the capital." ”
Zhou Fencao immediately figured it out and asked, "Where is it?"
The news of the emperor's appointment of the champion had already spread, and he knew that Chen Sanlang had been appreciated by the emperor. If it is said that it is entrusted with a heavy responsibility, it is normal.
As such, Chen Sanlang has got a heavy responsibility, and he wants to come out to find a capable helper to assist and form a team, which is also a legitimate thing. r1152
