is also a person from Guiyang County, and he is in Beijing at this age. In this way, there is only one answer left, which is Chen Jian, the "former" genius of Guiyang County. The reason why the word "former" is added is not only because he is old now, but also because his reputation has been completely overshadowed by Ye Xingyuan.

Now when it comes to the talents of Guiyang County, everyone knows that Ye Gongzi of Zhizhi County, who also remembers Chen Jian who is the weak champion?

Ye Xingyuan remembered it because Ouyang Juren's letter said that this person was in Beijing, or he could talk about the friendship of his fellow villagers. But judging from the current situation, the other party obviously has no good intentions towards himself, and the so-called "friendship of fellow villagers" is not where to start.

The scholar's face sank and said: "I am Chen Jian, my predecessors don't dare to be it, now Ye Gongzi is already a rich and noble person, and he is not compatible with my generation of scholars!"

Chen Jian is very proud in his heart, he is a golden phoenix flying out of the chicken nest. In the past, the sergeants of Guiyang County corresponded with him, and the seniors were all blue-eyed, and the younger generations were all five-body casters, and they all said that he was a talent of Jinshi, and he was also the hope of Guiyang County Shilin.

But after Ye Xingyuan was born, all these praises were transferred to his head, and Chen Jian himself had no preconceived feelings about this person. What's more, many people wrote to Chen Jian, complaining a lot about Ye Xingyuan in their words, the most typical being his old friend Yu Xiucai.

Yu Xiucai had already had a conflict with Ye Xingyuan, and because he was a hardcore Zhouzhi County faction, after the identity of the monster in Zhouzhi County was revealed, he couldn't even stay in the county. He didn't blame himself for having no eyes, he only blamed Ye Xingyuan for his good deeds, and he was so tired that he had no chance to pay tribute and make up for the country's eunuchs.

Yu Xiucai scolded Ye Xingyuan for being the most unbearable, and Chen Jian was originally suspicious, but Ye Xingyuan won Xie Yuan in the provincial test and escorted Xiangrui into Beijing. Knighted. This in itself caused invisible pressure on Chen Jian, and this kind of trip to seek luck was quite a taboo for scholars, so Chen Jian finally hated Ye Xingyuan, knowing that he lived in the post house, and he would visit in the future as a fellow villager.

I didn't expect to meet by chance at this Lantern Festival, and Chen Jian had already drunk a few more glasses of wine today. The mood was not smooth, and he was not polite to Ye Xingyuan at all.

Don't speculate for more than half a sentence, Ye Xingyuan originally asked him just because of his fellow villagers, seeing that he didn't want to talk well at all, you said that you didn't get along, and they parted ways over there. turned around and smiled at Zhu Ning'er: "Let's look at the lights over there." ”

Chen Jian said that of course it was just angry words, he thought that Ye Xingyuan would either be deafening and regret and apologize. Or just refute it, and you can just teach him another hard lesson.

Unexpectedly, Ye Xingyuan did not react. turned around and left, which made Chen Jian feel like he hit the cotton with all his strength. I wanted to say a few more words, but the words had already been spoken, and it seemed too deliberate to be long-winded, so I could only watch Ye Xing go away, and his chest was extremely tight.

Zhu Ning'er followed Ye Xing away, and then asked, "Lord, this person is so rude." Why didn't the lord scold him?"

Ye Xingyuan said with a smile: "Ten thousand words are better than a silence, at this time he is not happy in his heart." It's even worse than me scolding him for ten or a hundred words. Besides, how can such a person be worthy of my scolding?"

If it was when he had just crossed over, Ye Xingyuan would have paid a lot more attention to this young man. He remembered that when he first went to see Yu Xiucai, he had seen this person's inscription hanging in Yu's house, and he couldn't remember the mood at that time, but he should always have a little envy.

But in just over a year, things have already changed, and Ye Xingyuan is also a person now. It is also the first Xie Yuan in Dinghu Province. is younger than Chen Jian, has better grades than Chen Jian, and has a title that Chen Jian may not be able to dream of in his life.

I have left others far behind, if this person is polite, maybe I can talk a few words. Since he is so stubborn, I know who you are? Ye Xingyuan didn't bother to waste time on these ants.

Zhu Ning'er admired Ye Xingyuan's calmness more and more, recalling Chen Jian's flushed face, she couldn't help but be amused and sneered: "Sure enough, as the lord said, I originally wanted to teach him a little lesson, so it would be saved." ”

She waved her hand, and a few of the short-dressed men in the shadows dispersed. Ye Xingyuan asked in surprise: "What kind of person is this? You won't pull the people from Dinghu to the capital, right? ”

Zhu Ning'er said: "This is just a believer in the crow god, who met in Beijing, and they believe in the crow god. If you, my lord, as the messenger of the crow god, are insulted by others, then they are not assigned by me. ”

Where is Ye Xingyuan willing to believe it, these people clearly seem to bow down to Zhu Ning'er, this little girl has only been here for a few days and has pulled up a group of people? This is really shocking, Ye Xingyuan decided to find a suitable time to talk to this little girl, lest he wake up one morning and suddenly find the yellow robe and not know it!

They passed through the surging crowd and bypassed the Great Xiangguo Temple, only to see a small forest in front of them, with residual snow on the branches of the trees still lingering, and a few strings of colored lanterns scattered and scattered, which was lively.

"This woodland is where we bought it. Zhu Ning'er pointed her finger and said, "After the first month, I will find someone to cut down trees, lay the foundation, and prepare to start construction." ”

Ye Xingyuan took a look at the terrain, which was close to Daxiangguo Temple, one of the most lively places in the capital, and adjacent to the Yangliu River, which should have been very prosperous. It's just that there is no one to develop it, and this is just a barren forest.

Once the Crow Temple is built, not to mention that the incense overwhelms the Great Xiangguo Temple, at least it can share one or two, which is really a face-saving general altar for the Crow God Sect. smiled and said: "You really have the ability, you can get such a plot"

Zhu Ning'er was overjoyed when Ye Xingyuan praised her, and two blushes appeared on her face and said: "Thanks to Lord Hongfu, we are just lucky, this land was originally owned by a benefactor." Since he heard that the crow god Xiangrui was born, he blessed his soul and converted to the crow god, so he gave this ancestral plot to us at a discount. I've been looking at a lot of land in central Beijing these days, and it's still the best place to do it. ”

There are many people who are crazy about religion, and Ye Xingyuan didn't think much about it, not to mention that if there is any trouble, the first one to block the gun must be the crow god himself. Ye Xingyuan is just running errands, and now that the revival incense is almost complete, he hasn't gotten much of the benefits yet, and of course he won't be more proactive in helping to consider it.

What's more, Zhu Ning'er is thoughtful, and she will not make any mistakes in her affairs.

"This plot is really good, you are in charge, everything in this Raven God Sect, you don't have to ask me in the future, you can decide for yourself. Ye Xingyuan thought about it, he praised Zhu Ning'er as the Holy Maiden of the Raven God Sect, on the one hand, because she had prestige among the displaced people who were the main body of believers in the early stage, and her control was cheap. Second, there is also the meaning of clearing up this Shinto affair, it is enough to borrow auspicious Rui once, Ye Xingyuan, as a saint's disciple, does not want to have too much contact with Shinto.

Zhu Ning'er only thought that he was delegating power, and nodded excitedly: "I will live up to the trust of the lord." ”

Ye Xingyuan couldn't understand with him, so he could only sigh, "Now that we've seen the place, let's go back." ”

Zhu Ning'er's eyes rolled, and she had a rare opportunity to be alone, she smiled like a flower and said: "Today is the Lantern Festival, and the Lantern Festival is held in Daxiangguo Temple, so why don't you accompany your nephew and daughter to go shopping for a while?"

She tightened Ye Xingyuan's arm, relying on her young age, regardless of the defense of men and women, and put her chest on Ye Xingyuan's arm. Ye Xingyuan felt the soft protrusion, and hurriedly withdrew his hand and said, "Okay, you are still a child after all, just play for a while." ”

At this time, Zhu Ning'er showed a little girlish nature, Ye Xingyuan wished that she could return to normal, so as not to think about rebellion and kill all day long, and drag herself into the water. He saw a sea of lights in front of him, and someone was making a fuss and shouting about riddles, so he led Zhu Ning'er to go, and said all the way: "Xiangguo Temple's lantern riddle meeting is famous, you have always been smart, you might as well go and win some lottery." ”

The book contains: "During the Lantern Festival, the imperial city never sleeps. The spring festival lantern appreciation, a hundred plays and miscellaneous Chen, the poetry riddle book in the lamp, reflected in the candle, listed in the thoroughfare, let people guess the degree, so it is called the lantern riddle. "At first, the silk lantern cut and wrote poems, Shi Fu ridiculed, and painted people, hid his head and hidden words, and teased pedestrians with old Beijing proverbs.

Nowadays, in recent years, the atmosphere has been good, and the peace has been a long time, many people's lantern riddles are listed under the colorful objects, guessing the lantern riddle can be taken, for fun.

In addition to the square at the entrance of Daxiangguo Temple, there are countless painting boats on the Yangliu River opposite, which are also lantern riddles made by each family, just waiting for people to crack.

Ye Xingyuan and Zhu Ning'er walked through the crowd and looked all the way, only to see that most of the riddles were shallow and slangy, so they were a little disdainful, and only walked by. Zhu Ning'er was full of interest, guessed several, won some colorful things, and cheered.

There was a man on the side of the road: "The lantern riddle of this Xiangguo Temple is nothing more than that, if it is at this level, it will inevitably disappoint my generation of readers." ”

There was someone who knew about it, and he opened his mouth to explain to him, "This scholar must be a foreigner. The lantern riddles on the square of Xiangguo Temple are prepared for the common people who know a little bit of the two words, if you want to play the poetry fans of the crepe, you still have to go to the Yangliu River painting boat. ”

Someone added: "On the painting boat, there are several extremely difficult mysteries that the monarchs of the Tiger Shooting Society ponder and meditate on every year, and if anyone can solve them, the prize money will be expensive." This year, I heard that there were beauties with me, so the celebrities and literati all got on the boat. If you don't like the riddles here, go quickly!"

At the beginning, the scholar solved ten riddles in a row and hugged a colorful object, and he was originally complacent. Hearing what people said, he laughed, gave those colorful things to a few people around him, and hurriedly went to the direction of the painting boat.

Zhu Ning'er tugged at the corner of Ye Xingyuan's clothes and said, "Lord, it sounds very interesting, let's go and see it too?"

Ye Xingyuan said in his heart to see if the excitement should cause anything, looking at Zhu Ning'er's eager eyes, he was also a little curious, so he nodded and agreed, and walked leisurely with Zhu Ning'er to the bank of the Yangliu River. (To be continued.) )
