Chen Ji took the invitation card, and finally arrived in Nanjing in late July of the twelfth year of Chongzhen. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 infoNanjing's prosperity is comparable to Beijing, and it is much stronger than Shaanxi. When he came to Nanjing City, Chen Ji did not have a guest house, so he went directly to Qian Qianyi's house.

Qian Qianyi was squeezed out by Wen Tiren and Zhou Yanru in the first year of Chongzhen, and then was dismissed. It wasn't until he met Liu Ruyi a few months ago that his mood became comfortable.

Qian Qianyi and several southern Confucian scholars jointly held a literary event this time, the purpose of which was to make his voice heard in Shilin and prepare for his return to officialdom.

His ideas were affirmed by the talented girl Liu.

Chen Ji asked several people before arriving at Qian Qianyi's mansion.

The Qian Mansion is luxurious and atmospheric, and it is no worse than the mansions of the governors and generals, and to live in such a luxurious mansion, in addition to silver, also requires rights. Although Qian Qianyi has no rights, as the leader of the Donglin Party, he still has a huge influence in Shilin.

Chen Ji directly stated his identity, and he was the personal disciple of the White Crane Daoist.

In Shilin, when it comes to seniority, it is more important to talk about identity.

Chen Ji is not a scholar in Shilin, not even a scholar, and without an identity that people value, Qian Qianyi will probably not pay attention to him. Chen Ji doesn't care, but he came this time to represent the master Baihe Dao Chief, so he can't help but pay attention to it.

"Is the person who came to be a senior disciple of the White Crane Daoist?" Qian Qianyi received a notification from his subordinates and personally came out to greet him. The subordinates in the mansion and a few respected scholars were all surprised.

"Mr. Makisai actually went to greet the guests himself?"

"It is said that Mr. Makisai invited the head of the Hakutsuru Road. ”

"Let's go out and have a look. ”

Qian Qianyi, the word is accepted, and the number is Mu Zhai.

Most people call him Mr. Makisai, or Muweng.

Chen Ji was wearing a white robe and holding a long sword, which made people see it, and a chivalrous atmosphere greeted him.

Qian Qianyi is a thin old man, in his fifties, in fact, Qian Qianyi is almost sixty years old at this time. It can be seen that Qian Qianyi is very well maintained, and he looks more than ten years younger than his real age.

"Mr. Mu Zhai, in Xia Chen Ji, the master is the head of the White Crane Dao. Chen Ji clenched his fists slightly and handed over the invitation, "The family teacher's cultivation has reached a critical moment, and it is inconvenient to come, so I, a disciple, will take a trip to his old man's house on his behalf." I also hope that Mr. Makisai Haihan. ”

Qian Qianyi heard that Daoist Baihe did not come, and he was inevitably a little disappointed in his heart, but he didn't show it on his face.

Chen Ji found that trace of disappointment in his eyes. Chen Ji didn't know much about Qian Qianyi, but he knew that in two years, he would marry Liu Ruyi, one of Qin Huai's eight Yan.

Qian Qianyi said with a smile: "It doesn't matter, Brother Chen Ji is a disciple of the White Crane Daoist, you can come, it is already to give me face." Brother Chen Ji, please inside. ”

The White Crane Daoist is a monk, and his martial arts and medical skills have already reached the realm of transformation in his life, although Qian Qianyi is the leader of the Donglin Party, he does not dare to have the slightest dissatisfaction with the White Crane Daoist.

In his eyes, the White Crane Dao Leader was like an immortal.

Chen Ji smiled and said, "Mr. Mu Zhai, please." ”

Chen Ji is a warrior and a swordsman. Walking and walking in a tiger's step, every step is down-to-earth, which is also the so-called down-to-earth. If you want martial arts to advance by leaps and bounds, you have to integrate martial arts into your life. Only by cultivating in life can the skill be truly refined.

Chen Ji is delicate and handsome, and his words and deeds are full of masculinity, which adds a unique temperament. Compared with Chen Ji, those powerless scholars are indeed a big step behind.

When the maids in the Qian Mansion saw Chen Ji, their eyes were full of peach hearts.

"Huh?"

Chen Ji entered the mansion, followed his subordinates to the wing room, and saw a beautiful woman in her twenties. Her temperament is not ordinary, it is very amazing, Chen Ji couldn't help but look at it twice, the beautiful woman was not shy at all, but nodded to Chen Ji with a smile.

Chen Ji also nodded in return.

........................

In the evening, a young woman with a unique temperament and a very beautiful woman was asking Qian Qianyi for advice.

She is the talented girl Liu Rus.

Liu Ru has liked several men, especially Chen Zilong, and she really hopes to marry him. But Chen Zilong was unwilling to marry her. When she met Qian Qianyi a few months ago, Liu Ru was immediately impressed by Qian Qianyi's knowledge and talent. The age difference between the two is too big, but they have a good impression of each other, and their relationship is already very close.

After discussing the knowledge, Liu Ru said: "Today I met a young man in white clothes in the house, he held a long sword, walked like the wind, and his body was clean and neat. Mr. is holding a literary event, how can there be a warrior to visit?"

Chen Ji is indeed a little different from others, Liu Ru is young, but she has been in the flower shop for several years, and the men she has seen are not thousands, but hundreds of them. She felt that Chen Ji must not be simple.

Qian Qianyi said: "That young man's name is Chen Ji, and he is a personal disciple of the White Crane Daoist. ”

Then, Qian Qianyi told Liu Ru some of the deeds of the White Crane Daoist. In fact, Qian Qianyi didn't know much about the White Crane Daoist, only three or five things, but it was enough to surprise Liu Ru.

Liu Ru sighed and said, "I didn't expect that there would be a master like the White Crane Daoist in the world. It's a pity that Daoist Baihe, such an immortal-like figure, is unwilling to assist the Son of Heaven and do things for the people. ”

Liu Ru has a strong personality, integrity and intelligence, and great courage, which many men can't match. She felt that it was a pity that a master like the White Crane Daoist did not contribute to the imperial court.

"Did Mr. invite Chen Jilai to participate in the literary event this time to introduce him to Shilin?" asked Liu Ru.

Qian Qianyi shook his head and said, "No." I was going to invite the White Crane Dao Elder to come, but it was his disciple who came. Wen Tiren died not long ago, and Zhou Yanru is now seriously ill, but the Son of Heaven still plans to reuse him. If there is no accident, Zhou Yanru is likely to enter the cabinet again and become the first assistant. The White Crane Daoist owed me a favor back then, I wanted to make a deal with Zhou Yanru, the White Crane Daoist helped me cure his illness, and Zhou Yanru let me re-enter the officialdom. ”

With Qian Qianyi's identity and status among scholars, of course, being an official does not start from the county order, but directly enters the cabinet, and even becomes the first assistant, so as to reflect his own value.

Zhou Yanru is not lightly ill, and if he can't recover this year, he will miss the opportunity to enter the cabinet. In history, Zhou Yanru once again entered the cabinet as the first assistant, and it was indeed not this year, but two years later.

Back then, Zhou Yanru and Wen Tiren boycotted themselves at the same time, and Qian Qianyi did not forget, but if he wanted to retaliate, he had to have power in his hands. As long as he enters the officialdom, Qian Qianyi has enough opportunities to rectify Zhou Yanru. In order to re-enter the officialdom, Qian Qianyi did not hesitate to make a deal with Zhou Yanru, an enemy, and let the White Crane Daoist cure his illness.

It's a pity that this time it was not the White Crane Daoist who came, but Chen Ji.

Chen Ji looks extraordinary, but he is too young, and Qian Qianyi really doesn't have much confidence in his ability.

Knowing the whole story, Liu Ru frowned slightly, and said: "Sir, don't worry, the White Crane Daoist is a master of the world, an immortal-like existence, Chen Ji can become his personal disciple, and he will definitely not be a simple character." If Mr. is embarrassed to ask, I can talk to Chen Ji to see how capable he is. ”

Liu Ru was very curious about Chen Ji, she was on the Qinhuai River, and all she came into contact with were those who called themselves "geniuses", and she had never met a master disciple like Chen Ji. Now that she has met it, of course she has to touch it.

Qian Qianyi hesitated, nodded and said, "That's it, it's fine." ”

..................

The time for the literary event is getting closer and closer, and more and more readers come to visit Qian Qianyi. There are very few martial artists like Chen Ji, there are only two, one is a disciple of Wudang, and the other is a lay disciple of Shaolin Temple. Although the two of them are warriors, they are also lifters. In other words, they came to participate in the literary event held by Qian Qianyi as scholars.

Chen Ji was practicing swords in the house.

What he performed was Tianyan swordsmanship, which was extremely superior, and was divided into three levels, the first level, to control the sword with strength, the second level, to control the sword with qi, and the third level, which was also the highest level, to control the sword with gods.

Chen Ji had already practiced the basic swordsmanship to perfection, and it was not difficult to cultivate the first layer of Tianyan swordsmanship at this time, but it was not so easy to use the Tianyan swordsmanship in detail. According to Chen Ji's estimate, it will take at least one or two years to practice the first layer of Tianyan swordsmanship to the Dacheng realm.

As soon as he finished practicing a set of swordsmanship, Liu Ru came to visit.

When Chen Ji saw Liu Rus, he said with a smile: "I know you." We met in the hallway that day. What is the reason why the girl is looking for her?"

Liu Ru snorted and laughed: "You young man, younger than me, is so old-fashioned when you speak. ”

Chen Ji smiled dumbly, put the long sword in his hand on the table, and said, "Okay, it's me who is wrong. Isn't Mr. Mu Zhai going to hold a literary event these days? The people who come to the house are all scholars, and I imitate the way of speaking of the readers, otherwise wouldn't I seem to be too different? Girl, please take a seat. ”

Liu Ru was not polite and sat directly on the chair.

Chen Ji poured her a cup of tea and asked, "I don't know what the girl is called?"

Liu Ru took a sip of tea and said with a slight smile: "Don't be a girl all the time, I'm older than you." You should call me sister. My sister came to disturb you today, it is indeed abrupt, my name is Liu Rushi. ”

Liu?

A hint of surprise flashed in Chen Ji's eyes, but soon his eyes returned to calm.

Liu Ru looked at Chen Ji and said, "Little brother, my sister wants to chat with you, how about it?"

Chen Ji nodded and sat opposite Liu Ruye: "I don't know what my sister wants to talk about?" It is impossible for Liu Ru to come to chat with him for no reason, and Chen Ji will not whimsically think that Liu Ru fell in love with him at first sight. She came to herself, afraid that she meant to be rich and humble, probably because she wanted to get some valuable information from herself.
