Chapter 178: Low Profile
Lin Pingzhi waved his hand, and there were a lot of miscellaneous gifts, Ye Wenzheng was surprised, only to hear this Lin family son continue: "These are all meeting gifts for Brother Ye and you, in addition to ......" While pointing outside, Ye Wen followed his finger and looked at it, and found that there were still many family servants standing outside, carrying large boxes and waiting outside.
And this gesture also made many people see it, and they talked about it all over the place.
"Oh, what's going on?"
"Don't you know? Xinke Zhuangyuanlang lives here, and he is here to recruit a son-in-law!"
"Oh! this way, no wonder I see that there is no stop in and out of this inn today, it turns out that Zhuang Yuanlang lives here!" Then he looked at the big boxes and small boxes of a large number of people: "Such a big deal, which one is this?"
"Lin Shangshu's family!"
"Lin Shangshu, that's not ......"
"Shhhhh
I saw Lin Pingzhi smile slightly: "These are all gifts for Brother Xu, and I hope Brother Ye will accept them on my behalf!"
Ye Wen now also saw that the Lin family had invested enough money to recruit Xu Xian's son-in-law, and if he was afraid that it would be really difficult to deal with it, he first said tentatively: "My junior brother's affairs can't be done in the future, not to mention that Lin Gongzi came this time, what he did was really ......" and then pushed the many gifts in front of him a little: "This gift is not easy to accept in the next, Lin Gongzi is still ......"
Not wanting to finish speaking, Lin Pingzhi interrupted: "These are just meeting gifts, and they have nothing to do with Brother Xu's affairs! Brother Ye doesn't want to excuse himself!" and then pushed the pile of things in front of him back to their original positions: "As for Brother Xu's matter, Brother Ye only needs to agree to help talk about it, it doesn't matter whether it succeeds or not!"
When Ye Wen heard this, his eyelids jumped, and he secretly said that this Lin family is really not ordinary. With so many gifts, this friendship can be regarded as the end. Even if Xu Xian refuses to marry his daughter, he will not have no affection at all. And Xu Xian, the champion of the Lang, will be able to get closer to the Lin family in officialdom in the future, which can be regarded as a kind of officialdom investment.
Just hesitating, Lin Pingzhi said in a low voice: "I know that my sister has a bad reputation in this capital, but my sister is also knowledgeable, although she has a big temper, but she is not unreasonable!
"Do you like to whip people or do you have a big temper?" muttered to himself in his heart, still didn't speak, just opened a small and delicate locket in front of him, and saw a pair of turquoise gemstone pendant earrings appear in front of him.
As soon as Ye Wen opened the box, Ning Ruxue, who was sitting next to him and had not spoken, looked over here, and liked it a lot at first sight, so he couldn't help but look at it for a while. was seen by Ye Wen and handed it to her: "If you like it, take it!"
Then he turned his head to Lin Pingzhi: "I, Ye Wen, am not a person who has received favors from others in vain, so I took out my long sword and pulled it out with a choked sound."
This long sword was originally a Shushan faction standard blade, which was not unusual, Lin Pingzhi was strange, he didn't understand why Ye Wen took out such a long sword, and he couldn't help but glance at Brother Fang beside him.
was in shock, only to see Ye Wen erect the long sword in front of him, his left hand upside down, his right index finger erected, and the qi sword finger was erected, and purple sword qi appeared on his fingertips. With just this hand, the big brother on the other side changed his face greatly, and at the same time, he admired the young head of Shushan more and more in his heart.
The two of them sat opposite, and they couldn't see what Ye Wen was doing, but they only heard a sound of metal rubbing, which was really unpleasant.
Fortunately, after only a moment, the voice dissipated, and Ye Wen handed the long sword to Lin Pingzhi: "This is a token, if there is anything you need to help, just take this sword and go to Shu Mountain outside Shushan County, Pingzhou to find me!"
Lin Pingzhi took a look, and saw that the original bright and smooth spine of this long sword had a few words written on the spine of the Shushan School, and it was a good calligraphy with vigorous and powerful hands. What's more, this word was written by Ye Wen on this long sword with his fingers, and he had heard this kind of magic skill in some storytellers' stories before, and he had seen it with his own eyes.
Lin Pingzhi has received all kinds of teachings since he was a child, and when he saw this long sword at this time, he also knew what this thing meant. Especially when he looked at his eldest brother Fang's expression, he knew that this kind of master was definitely not something that could be met casually by the cabbage on the side of the road.
Originally, Ye Wen's kung fu was good, although he should be a good player in the rivers and lakes, but it was not too exaggerated. Now I know that this Ye Wen is a big master in the rivers and lakes, and the Lin family can know such a master in vain, and they have given so many gifts.
The result of the scabbard handed over by Hua Yi, and then handed the long sword to the most trusted Brother Fang, Lin Pingzhi said: "Brother Ye is too polite!"
Ye Wen didn't say a word, just took a sip of tea!
He is indeed polite, otherwise he would have accepted a bunch of things for nothing, but he didn't help others, and he really felt sorry for himself. After all, he didn't know anything about the eldest lady of the Lin family who he had never met, so it was naturally impossible for him to help the matchmaker.
Then a few people chatted for a while, and Lin Pingzhi suddenly said, "I don't know if your sect can still recruit disciples?"
Ye Wen was stunned for a moment, and when he saw Lin Pingzhi's enthusiastic appearance, he immediately understood that this was this Lin Gongzi's intention to learn martial arts, but as a scholar Gongzi, this person could withstand the hardships of learning martial arts?
He observed here, and only listened to Lin Ping's way: "I have also learned kung fu from my eldest brother for a few years, although it is just some simple tricks, but I think it is some foundation, it should not be too bad!"
Although he said this, his expression showed a little unconfidence. He is his own family knows his own affairs, since he was a child, he mainly studied all kinds of strategies and poems, and occasionally had to learn how to behave with his father, how to get along with others, although he is not very old, less than twenty this year, but he has learned a lot, and he is relatively sophisticated.
But the consequence of studying so hard is that his body is relatively poor, plus everyone's children, to his age, there are basically a few girls who warm the quilt every day, and go out from time to time to spend a lot of wine, this body is really not much better. And there is not much leisure time, and there is very little time to practice martial arts. If it weren't for his father's belief that proper exercise could ensure his health, he wouldn't even have the time to practice martial arts.
Ye Wen glanced at it twice, raised his right hand, and made a gesture to check the pulse. Lin Pingzhi woke up very much, knowing that this was someone who wanted to check his bones, so he immediately handed his wrist over.
After only a while, Ye Wen frowned: "Your body is bad enough......
Lin Pingzhi didn't expect that his foundation would be seen by someone as soon as he was probed, and said embarrassedly: "Ping Yue also ate some supplements, but the effect is limited!"
Ye Wen said: "Don't eat too much of what hard supplements, it's not good to eat too much!" and then asked, "What kung fu have you practiced in your daily life?"
Lin Ping replied one by one, most of them were some simple swordsmanship fists, and he had also practiced the kung fu of practicing qi, but it was always difficult to get started.
Ye Wen thought about it, and finally pressed Lin Pingzhi's wrist, crossed a path of True Qi, and whispered, "Remember the route of True Qi in your body!"
Lin Pingzhi was just stunned for a moment, and immediately understood that this was a great blessing, so he didn't dare to make a sound, but quietly felt the hot silk thread spinning in his body a few times, and he didn't even know when Ye Wen let go of his hand.
When he came back to his senses and was about to thank Ye Wen, he saw Ye Wen and said: "You and I have known each other, and it can be regarded as fate, today I will help you cross this threshold, as long as you practice diligently according to this route in the future, although you can't become a martial arts master, but there is no problem in prolonging life and being healthy." ”
His Qi practice route is just some basic breathing exercises, which are similar to the basic internal skills, in fact, they are the same as the set of breathing methods he first practiced. Because he has been practicing Taoist internal skills for a long time, he has a certain understanding of internal qi health preservation, so he made this attempt, and he has long made up his mind that this set of health preservation and vomiting kung fu is specially used as a gift of favor.
The ability of this kung fu to practice qi is average, but it adheres to the consistent special surname of Taoist exercises, and has a good effect on health care itself.
Today, it was passed on to Lin Pingzhi, and the Shushan faction could be regarded as having a good relationship with the Lin family, but the matter of marriage seemed to have been ignored by both parties, intentionally or unintentionally.
Lin Pingzhi is not an inconspicuous person, just looking at the behavior of people, he understands that it is basically impossible to recruit Xu Xian into the Lin family as a son-in-law, but it is not a trip in vain to get these things.
I have deepened my friendship with Ye Wen, not to mention whether I will trouble others in the future, but one more friend can lead to more roads, right?
More importantly, if they can get married to the Shushan faction, the Lin family can also invite the Shushan faction to send a few outstanding disciples to keep their family safe in the future, which is better than anything else.
"Actually, what I care about the most is the set of qi training methods that Brother Ye taught me, this hot thread is spinning around in the body, it's really interesting!"
The guards on that side were also impressed when they heard this, and the one who could make a piece of true qi still not disperse after entering the human body and keep running was indeed the kind of master who needed him to look up.
"The young master has such an opportunity, and he still needs to practice diligently in the future!"
Lin Pingzhi smiled: "That's nature!" He still remembered that before leaving, Ye Wen secretly instructed in his ear: "The true qi I sent into your body will dissipate on its own after seven days." If you practice diligently these days, then you will be able to develop a true qi of your own, and then it will not hurt if my true qi dissipates. If you don't practice, it will be much more difficult for you to practice your true qi on your own after the true qi has dissipated!
"Don't talk about it, you have to practice this health preservation technique, and it will be of great benefit to you in doing that sexual work!"
This sentence alone strengthened the determination of the son of the Lin family to practice this skill, and secretly said: "I must try the majesty that will not fall down that night!"
He didn't know that he had just left, and the son of the Baili family also ran over to meet Ye Wen.
"Baili Gongzi is also a matchmaker for his sisters?" Ye Wen didn't have much impression of this Baili Gongzi, he didn't talk much when he was chatting at the time, and he didn't want to come to visit him today.
As soon as he opened his mouth, Ye Wen knew that he had guessed wrong: "I said that I came to visit Brother Ye on purpose in the next day!" Seeing Ye Wen's strange face, Baili Ming explained: "Maybe Brother Ye is strange, why did he come to visit Brother Ye in the next place!" Actually, my Baili family is a military family, and there are some ancestral kung fu in the family, so I am closer to the people in the martial arts, so I will come to visit!"
"Oh......"
Only then did Ye Wen know that Bai Liming's father was a commander in the forbidden army, and his authority was not small, and he was responsible for the defense of the capital. And this Baili Ming also has an idle position in the forbidden army, maybe he will be able to get a real job in a few years.
Bai Liming didn't follow any orders from his family this time, he simply came to talk to Ye Wentao, and after the two chatted for a while, Bai Liming also said goodbye and left.
It's just that he said so, but Ye Wen felt that it wasn't that simple. Baili Ming will deliberately come to get close to the head of a rural sect? To put it bluntly, he still wants to win himself over by friendship.
Let's not say that his junior brother is the champion of the new department, and he is also unsuccessful, if the Baili family can win over himself, it is equivalent to indirectly winning over Xu Xian. At the same time, it also has a relationship with the Shushan faction, and if you can ask a few outstanding disciples from the Shushan faction to enrich your team, it will also be a great benefit.
"None of these official children are stupid!"
After sending Bai Liming away, looking at the many gifts piled up in his room, Ye Wen secretly wondered if it was better to leave the capital as soon as possible? In this way, he himself is not much better than Xu Xian, and it is really not good to be a rare giant panda to be watched.
As he was muttering, he saw Xu Xian walking in with a tired face, and when he saw the posture in Ye Wen's room, he also laughed: "Senior brother is also busy today, right?"
Ye Wen had already expected Xu Xian's schadenfreude, and replied nonchalantly: "It's still thanks to the champion of the junior brother!" After speaking, he said: "Didn't you say that you just want to fool around at will?"
"I was fooled! But I didn't fool the past......" Speaking of this, Xu Xian was also full of depression, how could he have thought that this palace exam was so watery, and he could be the champion in the exam with the paper he answered casually.
When Ye Wen heard Xu Xian say this, he could only sigh, and then he didn't dwell on this topic anymore, but just asked, "When are you going to leave the capital?"
Xu Xian thought for a while: "At least wait until the emperor gives us this batch of new science and technology scholars a reward, and then go to the department to report to it!"
"Oh, what department do you think you will enter?" Ye Wen remembered that most of the new scholars entered the Hanlin Academy, and he didn't know if there was such a department in this imperial court.
I only listened to Xu Xiandao: "The third-class jinshi generally enters the Hanlin Academy, it is an idle job and there is no oil and water, and it is uncertain when it will come out! ”
"What about the first class?" "The first class is the champion, the top eye, and the three Tanhua, looking at Xu Xian's meaning, he will also enter a real power department for further study at the very least, in that case, it will be difficult to resign!
"I must enter the sixth department! As for where he will go, it depends on how the emperor decides!" Xu Xian also realized this problem, and immediately leaned over to Ye Wen's side and asked in a low voice: "Senior brother, is there any green fruit left?"
"You want to ......?"
Xu Xian raised his fingers: "If necessary, we have to do this! But for now, we have to leave the capital first and return to Shushan!"
After chatting for a while, he found that it was not early, and he saw that the room was full of gifts, and Ye Wen also knew that he couldn't eat in the room: "Go to the lobby and take a bite!"
A group of people came to the lobby hulala, it was a meal at this time, there were still a lot of people, and his group of people finally got two tables before ordering the food, I don't know how many people came up and wanted to get close to Xu Xian. Many people's posture seems to have been waiting there for a long time, hoping that this champion will appear.
Some of these people came up to chat a few words and wanted to see and understand, and some came to recommend themselves, such as being an official for Xu Xian or something. What's more, a girl actually ran in front of Xu Xian, knelt down with a puff and cried and shouted to be his concubine, which made Xu Xian's head extremely big.
This meal is called a lively, and Ye Wen has the right to watch the play.
And because everyone around him was looking at them, he didn't notice at first that two women in the far corner were talking about this group of people in a low voice, while making food.
"Public ......"
The man across from him stared.
"Miss...... That's Xu Xian, the new champion!"
The woman who looked quite good, and also attracted a lot of attention, but didn't feel anything wrong, said: "This father...... Miss Ben sees, do you still need to talk about it?"
This woman wore a skirt made of good satin, coupled with a good temperament, her luxurious atmosphere was undoubtedly revealed, sitting in such a corner is really eye-catching, if it weren't for Xu Xian's aura of the champion is too dazzling, most of the people in the hall are looking at this.
"Miss, the ...... The eldest young master means to marry the young lady to that Xu Gongzi! The slave and maid look at that Xu Gongzi is handsome and talented, but he is barely worthy of you, young lady!"
The woman raised her eyes slightly, glanced at Xu Xian, and then said proudly: "What is so good about a man who looks like this, like a woman?" After speaking, Xu Xian coughed twice, and said: "Is it still a man who is so sick and weak? It's not as pleasing to the eye as the one next to him." As he spoke, he pointed to one of the people of the Shushan faction: "Carrying such a big weapon and walking freely, this is a man." ”
The maid next to him said again: "Miss, that's the champion Alas, it is said that the literary talent is extraordinary, there is almost no dispute during the palace examination, and all the ministers elected him as the champion!
The woman snorted: "Miss Ben's requirements are to be talented in literature, knowledgeable, outstanding, tall, and preferably know some martial arts, this is the Miss Shangben who is both civil and military, and barely matched!"
The maid stuck out her tongue when she heard this: "If you want to meet such a request as Miss, that man is afraid that he will become an old man!"
I didn't want this to hear it, but glanced at it contemptuously: "That's because I'm not good enough, how can I match Miss Shangben?" and then said: "Miss Ben is going to be low-key today, just to see what level that champion Lang is...... Hmph, but that's it!"
The maid looked at the three table guards surrounding the two of her, and then looked at the many guards sitting on the street outside, and cold sweat came down: "Miss, are you still low-key?"
Over there, Ye Wen also noticed this group of people, and secretly said to Xu Xian: "I don't know whose young lady it is over there, who brought so many people to see you!
