Text 281 There is no trace of many inquiries in order to seek power and fame
Shu Yuntian and Yue Cai went out on horseback that day. Shu Yuntian rode a horse, and Yue Cai and Yahuan rode a horse together. So when two people leave, it's one person and one ride.
Since Shu Yuntian accompanied Yue Cai out to play, the family who used to drive the carriage no longer followed. Only Yahuan is impossible to be missing, and the Yue family still pays attention to this aspect.
In the past, when I went out to play, I rarely walked, and mostly took a horse-drawn carriage or horseback riding. So riding out on horseback that day was nothing special.
The only special thing is that the two of them brought lunch, and told their parents in advance that they would go farther away and come back before dinner. Moreover, Shu Yuntian also brought a few fishing rods and ingredients for grilled fish, saying that he could eat grilled fish at noon, so that Yue Cai could experience the wild life of people in the rivers and lakes.
Everything is so natural, after getting along for a long time, the Yue family is also less wary of Shu Yuntian.
Because Yue Cai was very unhappy with Yue Kong's suspicion of Shu Yuntian, he never talked to Yue Kong. This also made Yue Kong no longer care about the affairs of the two of them.
Leaving in the morning and chasing in the evening, everyone actually didn't have much hope.
And so it was, and all the people who had gone out to look for it returned. And Yue Kong didn't come back until the evening of the fifth day, and the result was nothing.
"Dad, aunt, I chased out to look for it in all four directions, but I didn't find it. I asked passers-by, but there were no clues. Lu Yuan's dart bureau also went there, and they promised to help their friends in the rivers and lakes pay attention. ”
"That Shuyuntian, is there really such a person in the martial arts?" asked Yue Wanfeng.
Uncle Lu said, it seems that there really is a calligrapher in the martial arts. But it's just that he has an impression of his memory, and he has to ask his friends in the martial arts specifically. ”
"Kong'er, why don't you go out and look for it again, and get your third sister back?" Yue Cai's mother looked at Yue Kong expectantly.
"Auntie, the sea of people is vast, the world is big, how can I find it?"
"But, Cai'er, she's outside, what should I do?" Yue Cai's mother said and wanted to cry again. These days, I wash my face with tears every day, and my tears are almost dry.
"Auntie, let's see if there is any news from Uncle Lu before making plans. If you don't have a purpose, you go out and look around, I'm worried about my family. ”
"Go and rest first, you're tired these days. Let's see if there's any news from the dart board. Yue Wanfeng spoke, and the others didn't say anything anymore. Everyone actually knows that unless it's a coincidence, it's really hard to get it back.
......
Lu Zhanfeng went a few days later, said some comforting words and told some news, and then left in a hurry.
There is no news from Yue Cai, and there is no news from Shu Yuntian.
There is really a calligrapher in martial arts, and he was also a famous martial arts master a few decades ago, and then gradually retired and faded out of martial arts. The calligrapher does have a young master named Shu Yuntian, and the people in the rivers and lakes call him "Scholar Sword". It is named because it often holds a folding fan in his hand and hangs a sword on his waist. He rarely appears on the rivers and lakes, so not many people know about it. The level of martial arts is also unknown. But the person is indeed handsome and white, talks decently, and has the demeanor of a famous family.
But when it comes to where this writer is, not many people know. According to Lu Zhanfeng, when the calligrapher became famous, it was equivalent to Lu Zhanfeng's grandfather's generation. Later, he retired, even Lu Zhenyuan, he didn't hear his father say anything. However, Lu Zhanfeng's grandfather did not have high martial arts skills in the rivers and lakes, and he died early.
Lu Zhanfeng also said that the dart bureau and their friends will continue to pay attention to Yue Cai's affairs and the affairs of the scholar's family, and they will definitely come to Yue's house to report as soon as there is news.
What can be done? That's all there is to it.
It is often the case that parents worry about their children, but they do not understand their parents. Or the children will really be happy, but the parents always want to protect their children, afraid that they will meet with misfortune.
There are not many such things in the world, the Yue family has them, and other families will also happen, but they may manifest themselves in different forms.
In autumn, there is a major event for the literati, which is to hold a city examination.
Young and crazy, and act with courage.
How could Yue Yun be willing to study hard for ten years? Yue Cai's matter had not yet come to fruition, and he got up to make trouble again.
Everybody can say it. Yue Kong, what you said is your truth, Yue Wanfeng is what you say is your father's truth, and Yue Yun also has his own truth in his heart.
As long as you gain fame, how can you be casually disposed of and killed?
Anyone who has won the title of Xiucai has been left in the file at the city-level official gate. These archives are not something that can be destroyed and falsified casually, and once the imperial court really investigates them, the position of the city lord cannot be saved.
Xiucai is the future pillar of the country, and the imperial court attaches great importance to these talents, which can be called the son of the country. Once Xiucai is harmed, if the city-level yamen is ineffective or unfair, he can directly find the state-level government, and if the state-level is not good, he can go to Kyoto to find the country's eunuch.
The reason why the imperial court did this was to check and balance the martial arts.
Martial arts are used to attack, and literature is used to defend.
And Yue Yun's idea is to be admitted to Xiucai today, and he will be promoted next year.
Lift people, but they are court officials with rank. Once you have this fame, you can not only save your life, but also get your own property back!
The examination may be difficult for others, and it will not be successful in the examination for ten years.
But Yue Yun was confident that he would definitely win. In order to get back his own things, for his father's dignity and hard work, in order to compare the younger brother who pretended to be stupid, and now there is another reason to find the third sister, Yue Yun believes that with his genius and diligence, there will definitely be no problem!
This is Yue Yun's determination and perseverance, it is true that Yue Yun has worked harder than before after returning to his hometown, and the people of the Yue family have seen it.
Reasoning is really useless, the only use is for arguments. That's what Yue Kong thinks.
Yue Yun was going to the city to take the exam, so he would naturally discuss and argue at home. Sometimes they are arguing, and they are also involved in Yue Cai's affairs.
Yue Kong only expressed his opinion once that he didn't want Yue Yun to gain fame in the examination, and then ignored it.
Yue Wanfeng didn't want it to be out of safety considerations, and he already had an idea when he returned to his hometown. The second reason is that Yue Kong doesn't want Yue Yun to go to the city for the exam.
Yue Tian didn't want it, because he was framed and imprisoned by the official. He thinks that if the government is not black, how can Luo Tian Shangmeng move them?
Yue Yun's mother is supportive of her son. Without him, just because Yue Yun is her son, her mother naturally spoils her son.
In the end, under the threat of Yue Yun's hunger strike or running away from home, Yue Wanfeng could only be forced to agree to Yue Yun to go to Guanzhou City to take the city exam. But there is one condition, that is, Yue Kong will go with him, so that there is protection.
In fact, another reason why Yue Wanfeng let Yue Kong follow was that he was afraid that Yue Yun would be impulsive when he arrived in Guanzhou City and saw the former Yue family's shop industry, which would lead to death.
Yue Yun didn't want Yue Kong to follow him, so he said that his family needed Yue Kong's protection. If Yue Kong is also gone, who will protect the safety of his family?
However, Yue Yun's explanation was not accepted by Yue Wanfeng, and Yue Kong did not object to going to Guanzhou City with Yue Yun.
In fact, the city examination starts to register after passing the teacher examination, and it can be referred to three days in advance when the second year is referenced. If you are re-examining, you will start to register after the release of the results of the last exam, and report and confirm the reference three days in advance of the following year.
Guanzhou City is still as prosperous as ever, and it has not declined due to the departure of the Yue family, and nothing has happened because of it.
Leaving the Yue family, Guanzhou City is still Guanzhou City.
In the past, the Yue family's investment in Guanzhou City was quite large, and there were Yue family's shops in almost all large streets, and there were many types of industries involved. Therefore, as long as you enter Guanzhou City, it is not easy to avoid the previous Yue family's industry.
And when Yue Yun clenched his fists and his muscles collapsed, he also understood another layer of meaning that Yue Kong was following beside him.
Indeed, in the past, looking for trouble was making trouble, and even if people didn't beat you, the officials would arrest you. Yue Yun is no longer the second young Yue family in Guanzhou City, and the official will not give any face. Their faces turn faster than books.
A fist slammed into the wall next to him, and the skin of the knuckles immediately broke a few pieces, and blood oozed out.
"I'm ruthless! I really don't accept it!" Yue Yun roared, desperately trying to lower his voice. It's an alleyway on the side of the street, but there are still a lot of people coming and going on the street.
"This is my father's hard work!" Yue Yun's tears finally couldn't hold back and poured out.
"Second brother, do you believe in fate?" Yue Kong stood in front of Yue Yun, not letting others see him crying.
I didn't hear Yue Yun's answer, and I don't know if he didn't hear it. But Yue Kong continued:
"I believe in fate. Otherwise, why are some people born in the families of princes and generals, and some people in the families of poor people? You can't explain it. It's like our Yue family. What a scenery it was when I didn't encounter this. But why has it plummeted? Why have those families enjoyed happiness for generations, while poor families have to starve and suffer? Some people are sick and have no money for treatment, while others have a lot of money overnight. Have you ever wondered why?"
I still didn't hear Yue Yun answer.
"If you hate, it means you haven't thought about it. If you think about it and hate it, it means that you haven't figured it out. If you think about it and hate it more, it means that you haven't figured it out. ”
The crying was gone.
"There are countless rules in this world, some are bright and some are dark, some are obvious and some are hidden. Spring, summer, autumn and winter, day and night, birth, old age, sickness and death, everything runs and develops according to the rules he has to follow. Have you ever seen the sun rise in the west? Have you ever seen a fish flying in the sky? No, these are the rules of manifestation. And the fate of man is the hidden rule. If you don't break this rule, you can only live in the rules and be at the mercy of the rules. When you don't get what you want, you hate. ”
"That's why people will be strong. Only by being strong can you break the rules, and there will be no hatred!, so my father's business is actually wrong, and when he encounters a powerful force, he can only have nothing to hate!" Yue Yun actually took over the conversation. He was very smart, but unfortunately he was only smart, not wise.
Raising his hand to wipe away his tears with his sleeve, Yue Yun had already raised his head.
"I don't understand the rules of the world you're talking about, but I can figure out why. That's power, great power. Only a strong force can protect yourself and get what you want for yourself. My father had a talent for business, but he was not a powerful force. For money is something outside the body. Great power must come from within, and this is what I have learned from seeing your changes. ”
Seeing the question in Yue Kong's eyes, Yue Yun smiled, because at this moment, his words finally suppressed this younger brother.
"In this world, there are only two powerful forces. One is force, the higher your martial arts, the stronger your strength, you, those killers, those bandits, and those martial arts figures. So you can protect yourself or protect others. ”
"The other is power. Although power is actually based on force, those who have power do not necessarily have strong force. Even the Luo Tian Shang Alliance had to act with the help of the government, and even the bandits were afraid of the government army. Even if you are a business wizard who is as rich as your father, don't you have to be an official to ensure your wealth?"
The more Yue Yun spoke, the more excited he became.
"I don't know martial arts, I don't have the power of martial arts. But I read poetry and books, and I can gain fame and power. I can use power to change myself and change the Yue family! Power can also break the rules, and the thing about the Yue family is that power breaks the rules. So, as long as I get power, I can also use power to get everything back from the Yue family!"
"Yue Kong, you are not the only one in the Yue family who can protect, I can too! And I will do better than you! Because, you alone cannot protect everyone, especially the person you protect can only be with you. Power, on the other hand, is different, and can protect more and more. As long as I am in a high position, no matter where the people of the Yue family go, no one will dare to move a finger against them!"
