Chapter 82: Happy Events
The next day, Liang Wenfu specially ordered a few good dishes in the restaurant, and bought a few pots of Du Kang's old wine, ready to comfort Master Wenzi. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info
Before he could reach the Qingshui River, Liang Wenfu saw a person standing in the shade of the trees by the river, the man was wearing a black sand and a red robe, which was different from the official robe, his robe was very bright and green, and he was holding a long piece of jade in his hand.
Liang Wenfu was wondering that the man had already discovered him, and waved his hand to meet him quickly.
When he got closer, Liang Wenfu saw this person's face clearly, but it turned out to be Wenzishi!
Wen Zishi's face was full of red light, he stretched out his arms and hugged Liang Wenfu, and said happily: "Brother Liang, I have been waiting here for a long time, just waiting for you!"
Liang Wenfu was baffled by him, and asked with a smile: "What's wrong with Brother Wen, is he so happy today?" said and pulled the clothes on Wen Zishi's body, "And what are you wearing in this colorful show? Why are you dressed like a singer?"
It seems that Wenzishi is really happy today, his mouth has never been closed, after listening to Liang Wenfu's words, he laughed and said: "Hahaha! Brother Liang said that he laughed, don't you just look at my statue costume, don't you think that it is a little similar to the statue in that temple?"
"Statues?" Liang Wenfu looked Wen Zishi up and down again, nodded and said: "Really, most of the clay statues in the temple are ...... this way" As soon as he was halfway through the words, Liang Wenfu suddenly reacted and asked in surprise: "Could it be that Brother Wen, you-you have become a city god?"
"Exactly!" Wen Zishi nodded proudly and admitted, "Brother Tuoliang said auspiciously yesterday, I spared that woman's life yesterday, and I really let the king of Hades know! The king of Hades said that my kindness is really commendable, and I actually gave up the opportunity to become a god for an unrelated person, in his opinion, the more people like me should really become a god! So the king of Hades was exceptionally promoted and directly made me the city god of Anqiu County!"
This is indeed a great joy, originally according to Wenzishi, if you go to the prefecture to be a judge first to improve your qualifications, when you are promoted to the position of county-level city god, it will be at least a few decades later!
So Liang Wenfu congratulated: "Brother Wen's thought is good, and he has directly been exempted from decades of penance, which is really a great joy!"
After Wen Zishi drank the wine in the pot, he directly bowed his hand to Liang Wenfu: "The deadline is really urgent, I should have gone to take office early in the morning, this is specially waiting to say goodbye to Brother Liang, now that we have met, you and I will say goodbye!"
In this case, Liang Wenfu did not hold back, and arched his hand and said: "Brother Wen, please leave quickly, don't delay the business, I will go to Anqiu to disturb Brother Wen when I have time in the future!"
"A word is a decision!" Wen Zishi turned around directly, and with a slight sweep of the sleeves of his robe to the side, a carriage immediately appeared, and there were two dazzlingly armored straddle guards on the left and right of the carriage.
After Wen Zishi got into the car, he finally told Liang Wenfu: "Brother Liang can rest assured about the imperial examination, you will definitely be filial and honest in a few days!
Liang Wenfu arched his hand: "This is natural, Brother Wen take care all the way!"
Wen Zishi didn't say any more, and motioned to the coachman, and the carriage immediately galloped away like the wind, and the cart and two riders disappeared in the blink of an eye.
After a few days of calm, the day came to the fifth day of October, which was the day of the township test list.
Liang Wenfu came to Jiyuan Mansion City with Yu Jiusi a day in advance, and now that the sky is just dawning, the two of them are crowded in front of the mansion with hundreds of Xiucai waiting for the list, as for the servants of the scholars next to them, there are even more idlers joining in the fun, it can really be described as a sea of people.
As the apricot yellow list was deliberately slowly stretched out from the bottom to the top by the sergeant in charge of posting, a few cheers rang out from the crowd from time to time, occasionally mixed with a sigh - this was because his ranking was too low. More people are still quietly looking forward to it.
Yu Jiusi's mood is very conflicted now, looking forward to the later his name appears, the better-the higher the ranking, and looking forward to the next one--fear that he will be too greedy and anger the gods, and in the end, he will simply not be on the list!
Liang Wenfu's idea is the simplest: his name appears as soon as possible! He doesn't care about the ranking at all, as long as he can be promoted, he doesn't have to go to the county school to suffer in the future. But until there were only a dozen places left, before the names of him and Yu Jiusi appeared, more and more people present had disappointed, resentful, and unwilling looks on their faces, and even some people were already trembling!
Even Liang Wenfu, who thought he was just a spectator, was unaware of the emotions of everyone, and his heart was about to jump to his throat, and at this moment, his name finally appeared. Seventeenth, not high or low, Liang Wenfu let out a long breath and slapped his chest a few times before calming his heartbeat.
In the blink of an eye, he saw that Yu Jiusi's face was pale and his forehead was covered with a layer of fine sweat! Liang Wenfu was startled, and hurriedly quietly supported him, for fear that if there was a case, he would pass out directly.
Although Yu Jiusi has always boasted that he will definitely be able to win Xie Yuan, but when there is really only one place left, and his name has not yet appeared, Yu Jiusi's heart has sunk to the bottom, and his face has become iron blue - this is complete despair, after all, how can Xie Yuan be so easy?
"Yu Jiusi!" After the last name was opened, dozens of people unconsciously read it out together.
Liang Wenfu jumped up excitedly, hugged Yu Jiusi, and shouted: "Brother Jiusi, you are Xie Yuan!
But seeing that Yu Jiusi's face was blue and red for a while, and even his eyes were about to fall away, and his body was about to fall to the ground as soon as he was crooked. Liang Wenfu was shocked, hurriedly grabbed him, and pinched him hard. After pinching for a while, Yu Jiusi finally came to his senses, bent over and propped his hands on his knees, and took a few big breaths before he completely eased up.
Liang Wenfu understood this, after all, Yu Jiusi's desire for the imperial examination was much more blazing than his own, and this Xie Yuan was not a small achievement, this was something that could be funded by the government to set up a memorial arch in the township and glorify the ancestors!
A few families are happy and a few are sad, the sad and joyful situation after the imperial examination has been staged countless times in the history of the imperial examination for more than a thousand years, no matter how many people in the list can go down in history in the future, for a period of time after the list is released, all the attention of outsiders is only on the winner.
Although Liang Wenfu has no intention of going to officialdom in the future, there are still some things that cannot be shirked, not to mention the private banquets of the Lu Ming feast and the prefect and the prefect and the county, and the congratulatory banquet of his classmates cannot be missed! After that, there is also the invitation of Li Zheng and the gentry in the town, and he must go, after all, there has been no one in the entire Shenjing Town for decades, and Liang Wenfu can be regarded as the glory of the entire Shenjing now.
In this way, even though Liang Wenfu has pushed off most of the entertainment, but a few days after the release of the list, he has been circling between various banquets, and the time at home adds up to less than two hours! In the end, he finally participated in all the congratulatory banquets, and Lizheng, who was full of style on weekdays, personally sent ten taels of silver to the door, and begged Liang Wenfu to go back with an old work, saying that he wanted to frame it and hang it in the main hall, so that his children and grandchildren could observe and pay respects...... Liang Wenfu couldn't say that he didn't take the township exam himself, so he went.
After the entertainment outside, Liang Wenfu had to accept the congratulations of the villagers again, these people couldn't refuse no matter what, after all, when he first crossed over, he was helped by them. Although the money was not used in the end, Liang Wenfu will always remember everyone's intentions.
However, due to the new funeral of his mother-in-law, Liang Wenfu did not hold a banquet at home, but sent a gift bag back when everyone left. The villagers all expressed their understanding, and they also vigorously resigned the gift, after all, there were two taels of silver in each gift package! At Liang Wenfu's insistence, everyone finally accepted the return gift and praised Liang Xiaolian and benevolence to each other.
It's strange to say, when Liang Wenfu was still "Liang Erqiu" in the past, everyone was disgusted with him for saying a word more, but now he just greeted him softly, and everyone immediately felt fluttering as if they were in the clouds, and they couldn't say how comfortable they were from the inside out, as if they were stained with fairy energy.
The villagers discussed with each other: "Maybe this is the nobility after being a filial master?"
Finally, more than ten days after the release of the list, Liang Wenfu was completely idle, in the past two days, he accompanied his mother and wife at home every day, and walked around the village twice with Xizi when he had nothing to do, which was indescribably leisurely.
That night, Liang Wenfu was about to fall asleep, when suddenly a crack appeared in the wall in front of him, and then a large piece was pushed away. Liang Wenfu jumped to the wall in surprise, and when he looked at it, the single Taoist priest who had not been seen for a long time really walked out of the wall.
Shan Daoist's complexion looks much better now, and the injured appearance when they were separated is no longer visible at all, and it seems to be in a better state than when they first met.
Liang Wenfu asked about the recent situation of the Daoist Priest, and learned that he had been tracking the ghost hidden a few days ago, but unfortunately the guy was too cunning, and the Daoist Shan had not fully recovered from his injuries at that time, and finally lost his trace, so he had to give up temporarily. Today he just helped Zhang Sansan's father, Zhang Zhutou, solve the case, and then now he will come to Liang Wenfu.
Daoist Shan asked Liang Wenfu to demonstrate it, to see if he had seriously cultivated the Fu Dao these days, and to see that he had already practiced all the things in the booklet that he handed him at the time of parting, and there were other flexible and subtle changes, Daoist Shan couldn't help but praise him a few words.
Finally, Daoist Shan checked Liang Wenfu's cultivation again, and his brows immediately furrowed.
Liang Wenfu naturally knew what the reason was, and hurriedly explained: "Please forgive me, it's not that I'm not diligent, it's just that I've been trapped in the county school every day during this time, and I don't have time to go out to find divine beasts, so naturally I can't get the elixir and improve my cultivation." Well, now that I'm a lifter, I'm planning for the future these days!"
Daoist Shan nodded, sighed and said, "I can't blame you for this matter, after all, your current cultivation path is too special, and even I can't help you too much in this matter of finding the Five Elements Bead, it mainly depends on yourself!"
As he spoke, Daoist Shan took out two more booklets from his arms and handed them to Liang Wenfu: "The runes on these two booklets are higher than the previous realm, but the spiritual power consumption is also more. Your spiritual power is too small, I originally wanted to wait for your cultivation to improve before passing it on to you, but now I still have something to do, so I will give you these two copies directly!"
Liang Wenfu thanked his master, solemnly accepted the two books, and did not ask him what he was going to doโhe would naturally say what he wanted to say, but it was useless to ask if he didn't want to.
"You always have to deal with demons in this way of cultivation, and when you subdue demons and eliminate demons in the future, you must do what you can, don't come hard, the most important thing is to pay attention to safety!" Shan Daoist finally told Liang Wenfu, and after he agreed, he disappeared into the wall again.
