Chapter 832: National Preceptor Chen Pingan

Chen Ping'an got off the ladder and randomly selected a book on the bookshelf. It was a collection of clear words that specifically talked about how to deal with the world.

He flipped through the book very quickly. There were many sages’ teachings in the book, which made Chen Ping’an deeply convinced. He looked back lazily at the beautiful scene, and stood firm in the stormy weather.

Chen Ping'an always felt that he was talking to himself, and suddenly he felt courageous, which was much more effective than drinking.

Besides, Chen Ping'an has figured out a truth for himself very early on. Don't say angry words or sarcastic remarks to those close to you, especially don't say nothing.

Putting the book in his hand back on the bookshelf, he remembered the Longzhou Taoist from Huanghua Temple in Tongyezhou for no reason. Chen Pingan smiled, imitating his example, and gently pushed the surrounding books with his palms. Flush, no difference at all. Chen Pingan strode out and opened the courtyard door. After thinking about it, Chen Pingan left the door unlocked. If he had to come back, he would have to worry about many things. After all, it is his senior brother's house. It is not appropriate to fly here and there.

As for the Emperor Song of Dali and the Queen Mother, it doesn’t matter whether they come or not. If they come, it will be good for both parties. If they don’t come, Chen Pingan doesn’t care at all, because he has already planned to stay in the capital. I'll read a few more books.

Now that you have guessed the intention of senior brother Cui Chan, it is very simple. It is rare to have such a good thing without distinguishing between public and private. He can stab him with evil hands and do whatever he wants. Moreover, Chen Ping'an suddenly remembered something. If according to the cultural background, since Song He is the student of Senior Brother Cui, he is the junior uncle of Emperor Da Li. Then, wouldn't it be a matter of course to protect his nephew to some extent? .

But if you, Song He, don’t have enough Taoism, then you can replace him with someone who has enough Taoism to be the emperor. Anyway, once the old story is revealed and the old accounts of the Song clan’s family are opened up by someone who is interested, His Majesty the Emperor originally belonged to The established fact of legitimate succession to the throne will become shaky and the whole continent will be in an uproar.

The evaluation of Song Ji’s salary by the national teacher Cui Zhang was probably during the Aquarius Island War. The performance of the vassal king Song Mu, from Laolongcheng to Dadu in the central part, did not disappoint. , up and down the mountain, for all to see. Why Bai Yujing stayed in the capital of Dali and near the Dadu Temple must be a kind of "goodwill" reminder from the teacher to the students. Even if the teacher is gone and Dali has no national teacher for the time being, Xiu Qi Zhiping, a monarch, Still can't forget.

Chen Ping'an even felt that the Dali imperial court took the initiative to return the mountains and rivers after the war based on military merit. It was because his senior brother was waiting for today. If this is not done, the people of Aquarius Continent will be scattered, and it will be difficult for all the vassal states in the south to gather combat power. Furthermore, after the war ends, if the pattern of one continent and one country still exists, once the capital city and vassal residences of Great Li form a North-South confrontation and split, The battle line is stretched so long that it can easily last for decades or even more than a hundred years. By then, the entire Aquarius Continent will be ruined.

As for Song Jixin, does he have the intention to restore his real name?

Yes.

Chen Ping'an was aware of Song Jixin's ambition when he was in Jidu Temple. However, Song Jixin was too afraid of the national teacher Cui Xuan.Be patient and silent, and always abide by the duties of a minister.

Otherwise, the relationship between Song Jixin, the king of the Great Li vassal, and almost all the mountain forces in Aquarius Continent, especially with the Great Li frontier army, was not generally good.

As for the people who govern the country, all the civil and military leaders in the six yamen of Dali Capital have faced war directly. Who is not proficient in work and knowledge, not only talented and learned, but also extremely pragmatic? And compared with the officials in the capital, the official circles in the south are mostly civil servants and military generals who are in their prime. Moreover, like Liu Gaohua from Rouge County in Caiyi Country, why would he rather abandon his hometown to serve as a minister of the country and become a minister in the capital temple? Middle-level officials, and this subtle recognition itself is the recognition of the feudal king Song Mu by the various vassal states of Dali in the past.

Therefore, in the capital city of Dali, the emperor did not dare to rashly touch the capital, which was already deeply rooted and well-established. The vassal residence was unaware of the arrangements of the imperial master Cui Chan, so everything remained peaceful.

If Chen Ping'an's bottom line before coming to the capital of Dali is to retrieve the broken piece of porcelain from the Queen Mother of Dali, even if he breaks up with the entire Dali court, the worst he can do is to have a fight first. Then many vassals, including Luo Lo Shan, were relocated to a place in the southern part of Beiju Luzhou, where they took root. Eventually, they echoed the Luo Lo Shanxia sect established in Tongye Continent. There was Da Li in the middle. Anyway, it was with Da Li Song Dynasty. It's completely done.

So now, Chen Pingan is no longer so easy to talk about just getting back the porcelain pieces.

For example, give way.

Nan Fan went north and entered Beijing to proclaim himself emperor.

In the end, it still depends on the choice of the Emperor.

After only a few dozen steps in the alley, Chen Pingan began to carefully consider the three main connections here: the temple, the frontier army, and the mountains, and then involved a rough calculation of at least a dozen links, such as the clan members The old man of the mansion, all the surnames of the Shangzhu Kingdom, the major hunting envoys, and the continued development of every link... In the final analysis, we still pursue the peace and order of the country.

It’s just that Chen Ping’an didn’t realize that what he was thinking about and what he was doing was actually like a great Li national master.

For more than a hundred years before, Cui Chang, the embroidered tiger, would walk slowly in the alley like this every time he went to court to discuss matters or returned from court, alone and thinking alone.

Near the alley, Chen Pingan found that the young man was squatting at the entrance of the alley to drink secretly while his master was away. He glanced at the street from time to time to see if there was any master. figure.

Hearing the footsteps in the alley, Zhao Duanming immediately stood up, put the pot of wine behind him, and asked with an attentive face: "Brother Chen is going to find his sister-in-law. Do you want me to help lead the way? Capital City I am familiar with this place, so I can just walk around with my eyes closed."

That is to say, the relationship between the two parties is not familiar for the time being. Otherwise, I have pooped in all the places nearby, even Zhao Duanming. I can say that with a clear conscience.

Chen Ping'an stopped and asked: "Duanming, do you have a girl you like?"

Zhao Duanming now has a certain attitude towards his name.The word, that was extremely satisfying, but Chen Jianxian's inappropriate question made him feel uncomfortable. What kind of girl are we talking about in the middle of the night? Do you think I am drinking flower wine? The young man sighed, "It's sad. I'm not young anymore. There are girls I like, and there are quite a few girls who like me. It's a pity that I just practice and practice every day, and practice his practice, which has caused me to this day. I haven’t had sex with a girl yet. Drunkard Cao always teases me about it. He’s in his forties and an old bachelor who doesn’t even have a warm quilt at night has the nerve to talk to me. I don’t know who gave him the face. He must have been drunk and not sober.”

Then the young man found that the swordsman in blue also sighed.

You hit a hundred targets and never fail.

Zhao Duanming immediately handed over a handful of salted and dried peanuts, and Chen Ping'an also gave the young man a pot of wine. The young man put away his own pot. He couldn't get good wine from Cao the Drunkard, so he was just a drunkard. The pauper who knew how to buy credit everywhere opened the mud seal, raised his head and took a sip, and asked: "Brother Chen, where's the drink? It's quite exciting."

Chen Ping'an smiled and said: " I opened a small wine shop with others and sold Qingshenshan wine."

The young man suddenly said: "Let me tell you, I know the way to this drink as soon as I drink it. This is not just for me. I can taste the taste of several Xiaoshu coins. How can wine from the mountains taste like this? Brother Chen, let’s keep it secret. Give me two more bottles of wine and I’ll come back. Send it to Master and Drunkard Cao."

At this point, the young man said seriously: "Brother Chen, don't worry, I have been known for being scheming since I was a child. Now that we are brothers, I have nothing to do with it. That drunkard Cao, I promise not to tell anyone, not even after he returns home. Brother Chen, you have just arrived in the capital, so you don’t know that my house and Chier Street were there a few years ago. In the fight, I beat the invincible opponent in two streets with one hand. Later, some shameless old bastard in Chier Street revealed my identity as a monk, so I took the initiative to give up the top spot to someone else. The gang of shrimp soldiers and crabs on the street will have to be suppressed by us in Yichi Lane for several years. According to the old rules, we have to behave with our tail between our legs every day, and we have to take a detour when we meet."

Chen Ping'an twisted his fingers and said. He threw a peanut into his mouth, smiled and shook his head and said: "We know each other, we can't give away two bottles of wine for free."

Zhao Duanming asked tentatively: "Brother Chen, can you settle my debt? ?"

Chen Pingan shook his head and said: "It's a small business, no credit required."

Don't rush to the inn, it's just a few steps away. It's early. Yao hadn't returned yet, so he was standing there alone, which seemed like he had evil intentions. He clearly wanted to eat hot tofu in a hurry. It was inappropriate to go late, and he seemed too careless.

"By the way, how old are you this year, Brother Chen? For a swordsman like you who is so young, promising and handsome, it is indeed not surprising that my sister-in-law would like you to be a Taoist companion."

"You're not old. What state are you in now?"

"I'm not yetTo the Yupu realm. ”

“Okay, okay. "

"Brother Chen, my sister-in-law is such a beautiful woman and has a high level of attainment. You have to take it easy. There must be so many men who like her openly or secretly that you can't even count them. "

"Duan Ming, you are still too young and don't understand some things. Most men don't dare to like a woman like my wife, and even if they admire her, they only dare to keep it secretly in their hearts. Well, there was one person who was not afraid of death, and he was knocked unconscious by me and hung up on a tree. "

"Who is it? You are so brave and fat. Brother Chen, tell me your name, and I will help you clean it up later. "

"What a coincidence, he is now an official in the capital. ”

“Who is it? Is he a big official? Do you care about hanging out in Chi Lane and Chier Street? "

"His name is Zhao Yao. He is not a high-ranking official, but he is the minister of punishment in your capital city. It seems that his house is in your Yichi Lane. "

"..."

"Are you scared? It is said that the Zhao family is the most generous in horse excrement. Is it a curse word in the Dali officialdom? Obviously not. It is right to praise people, but I think you are hanging. ”

“Brother Chen, you are just joking. He is just a minister of the Ministry of Justice. I invite him to come, please come!” "

"Hey, Minister Zhao, what a coincidence, I was passing by.

The young man quickly turned his head. There was no ghost about the stupid Minister Zhao. The young man laughed and said: "It would be great if he came. The official is a big one, but he is such a weak scholar." , I don’t have the power to restrain a chicken, I don’t need to use any magical magic, I just need to punch him down, and then kick him, and let him stand upright wherever I hit him, and then go back sideways..."

Chen Pingan patted the young man on the shoulder and held back his laughter, "Stop it, Minister Zhao is really here. If you keep talking, he will listen to you. This guy is petty and likes to hold grudges. "

The young man nodded vigorously and said: "It is really not good for a big man to hold a grudge and it is not grand." ”

Chen Ping’an echoed: “Mostly it’s because you haven’t cultivated your mind enough. "

Ning Yao quietly returned to the inn, deliberately hiding her figure. At this moment, she was still lying lazily on the table, listening to the chatter in the alley, and she smiled a little.

Poor that young man, he didn’t even know which ditch he had turned into.

Chen Pingan walked out of the alley and stopped, waiting for the nephew to leave.

Nowadays, I seem to have a lot of nephews, including His Majesty the Emperor in the palace, the Minister of Justice in front of me, and Wu Yuan, who was the first magistrate of Huaihuang County in the past.

On the other side of the street, several monks from the Ministry of Industry of the Great Li Dynasty were leading people to repair the street. When they saw the green-robed swordsman, they were speechless and turned a blind eye.

Da Li Jingcheng is the luckiest place because of the arrival of Xiuhu.

Jian Dan. Within a hundred years, a frontier cavalry was built for the Great Li Dynasty, which could survive even if it was put to death, and could win even if it was at a disadvantage.

Zhao Duanming poked his head around the corner. This Zhao Shilang had only seen him from a distance a few times before. He turned out to be really impatient. To be honest, in terms of fighting ability, I estimate that a hundred Zhao Shilang could fight. However, for one Chen Jianxian, in terms of looks, the two Chen brothers may not be able to beat each other.

Zhao Yao first said hello to a familiar official from the Ministry of Industry of Dali, then squatted next to the "well" and looked at it for a few times before walking to the alley and bowing to Chen Ping'an. He saluted and said with a smile: "I have met Master Chen."

Chen Ping'an smiled and shook his head and said: "We are all from the same country, so why are you so polite? Just call me uncle."

Keep standing straight. Brother Chen, a young man with ears to eavesdrop, is a little bit shy when talking to outsiders.

Zhao Yao asked: "Miss Ning hasn't come back yet?"

Chen Pingan stretched his neck and looked at both sides of the street. A little further away, there are big trees with tall branches.

Zhao Yao smiled and said: "The gentle lady and the gentleman are very fond of each other. Zhao Yao's admiration for Miss Ning is as bright as the sky and as white as the moon. There is nothing that he dares not admit and there is nothing that he dares not see in person. Chen Shan Lord, please don’t do this on purpose.”

Chen Ping’an laughed and said something to Zhao Yao in his hometown dialect of Lizhudongtian that even a young man would not understand. If it were changed to Dali Mandarin. The homophonic pronunciation of "is...it's all over the edge. I'm a crazy person. Yan Langyan writes a new setting..." What the hell is this? Zhao Duanming was confused when he heard it.

Ning Yao couldn't help but laugh. She knew what Chen Pingan was talking about, because she would record the small town dialects she had heard in the past with homophones. For example, in this sentence, Chen Pingan was teaching Zhao a lesson. Yao, it's late at night and I'm still just having fun, so be careful.

In their hometowns, this is a mantra used by elders to scold naughty younger ones.

Ne Xing also means eating. Is he causing trouble?

I came to see you for something. What's up?

The young Zhao Duanming heard it like a cloud, but Ning Yao over there at the inn had already sat up, holding his chin with one hand, listening with gusto, she understood everything.

Zhao Yao suddenly said in Dali Mandarin: "I just got the news that the master has arrived in Baiyujing and started to sit down and talk with people."

Chen Pingan nodded and said: " I must have known it before you did."

Is it fun to quarrel? Fortunately, we all win anyway, so for my husband, it doesn’t really taste like anything.

The most interesting thing is that it is still a quarrel.

What is a saint? He can rectify people's hearts with knowledge and patch up the world with Taoism.

The place where one person unites the Tao is Baopingzhou, Tongyezhou, and Fuyaozhou.

In the mountains, rivers and land of Sanzhou, vegetation grows, flowers bloom especially brightly, dead trees bloom in spring, water transport condenses, mountain roots bridge, summers are scorching, and rain falls from the sky in dry places.

Of course Chen Pingan, who is still being "overwhelmed" by the vast world, will sense this vision of heaven and earth earlier than Zhao Yao.

Zhao Yao endured it for a long time and said: "Chen Ping'an, what on earth do you want to compete with me?"

Chen Pingan said: "I see you're unhappy."

Zhao Yao laughed angrily: "Miss Ning doesn't like me, so you're not happy about it."

Chen Pingan Hey, "Is there such a nephew in the world who talks to my uncle like this?"

Zhao Yao took a deep breath and said: "It's okay, I just came over tonight to meet you, a hard-working man with great achievements. ”

Chen Ping’an suddenly said: “Actually, there is no need to be your official. Don’t get involved in many things, at least for the time being.”

This sentence is true. After all, Chen Pingan still hopes that his peers who have gone out from his hometown town can do better outside and not be too depressed.

(This chapter is not finished, please turn the page)

Zhao Yao waved his hand, turned around and left.

Chen Pingan said: "Zhao Yao, let me digress, how is your relationship with the Ministry of Rites? If the relationship is okay, can you do something more laborious and thankless, such as asking the monks on the mountain to The immortal family's magic method is to collect the dialects from all over the country and record them carefully, because the books can be reprinted, but once the dialects are gone, they are really gone. It's all in vain, do you have any ideas?"

Zhao Yao turned around and smiled: "The imperial court has already started to do it. I am the chief editor, and I can get two salaries as a part-time job."

Tsk, tsk, do you think you can win the game? You're young, aren't you? The fledgling young hero really doesn't know the depth of the rivers and lakes.

I saw Chen Ping'an with a look of relief on his face, nodding and saying: "I've become a successful person."

Zhao Yao left without looking back.

When no one was around until the Minister of Justice left, the young man walked out of the alley, gave Chen Pingan a thumbs up, and said with a smile: "Brother Chen is very good at chatting with others!"

Chen Ping'an smiled and said: "Don't learn this, it's pointless. Practice your way well in the future."

The young man suddenly asked seriously: "Chen Jianxian, do you think I can reach the upper five realms in the future?" "?"

Chen Ping'an asked with a smile: "Why do you ask this suddenly?"

Zhao Duanming looked sad and said softly: "Master said that the reason why I am so good at practice is Come on, this is what Yin eats and eats. Even though I am young, I am a monk in the Dragon Gate realm. But if nothing happens in this life, I will actually be a golden elixir master until I die."

Chen Pingan was silent for a moment. , with a soft expression, looking at this young man from the capital who secretly drank a lot, just thinking about Chen Pingan's next words made the young man feel even more disappointed, because a sword immortal said, "At least now, I think you are among the Jade Pu , it is indeed difficult. Golden elixir and Nascent Soul are all high thresholds and passes that are more difficult to overcome than ordinary Qi practitioners. It is like you are paying off a debt, because your practice was so smooth before. How old are you now? Fourteen, or fifteen? That’s the Dragon Gate realm. So your master didn’t lie to you before.”

Young man Mo Ran.

Then Chen Pingan smiled and asked: "Zhao Duanming, youDo you think meeting me tonight is a minor accident? "

Zhao Duanming nodded. That must be the hidden official of the Great Wall of Sword Qi, Master Chen Shanzhu who can make Cao Jiugui chat a few more words, especially Ning Yao, a man who can make Da Li "storage" "Prime Minister Zhao Yao is a guy who is frustrated in every way! Before today, the young man never dreamed that he would be able to meet Chen Pingan, chat for so long, eat peanuts and drink together.

Chen Pingan Then he asked: “Isn’t this just an accident? "

Zhao Duanming's eyes lit up, "That's right! ”

Chen Ping’an smiled and said: “Of course the person who wants to be a master in the world must be a serious preacher like your master. Then there is no one who doesn’t want his direct successor to be able to outperform others.” Yu Lan. Zhao Duanming, practice well and don't focus on the upper five realms that are far away. Otherwise, you will only get worse and worse. Remind yourself from time to time, such as, 'Master, wait patiently. One day, The apprentice will definitely give you a surprise. ’ Zhao Duanming, do you have this intention? "

The young man's eyes were bright and clear, and his face was resolute. He nodded and said: "Yes! It’s just an idea, not difficult.

Chen Pingan patted the young man on the shoulder and said with a smile: "Let me tell you something more. When I was your age, the Bridge of Immortality was broken, so I had to practice boxing every day to survive." He is a first-level martial artist. Looking at me today, is it another accident? "

Zhao Duanming was doubtful and said: "Didn't you trick me?

Chen Pingan smiled, said nothing more, and walked towards the inn, "Earlier you asked me for two bottles of wine, but I didn't give it to you. I'll keep it for you someday." Now that you have reached Yuanying and Yupu, I will treat you to a drink. "

The young man looked at the back of the green-shirted figure and asked loudly: "Chen Ping'an, do you keep your word? ! "

The swordsman in green shirt did not turn around, but just raised his hand and made a fist gently, "I am a swordsman, and the wine is the most unfaithful. "

Inside the inn, Ning Yao lowered his head, resting his chin on his arms, his eyelashes trembling slightly.

————

Inside the palace city.

Dong Hu, the Minister of Rites, reported the conversation in the alley to His Majesty the Emperor and the Queen Mother

The woman had opened the window and had been standing there.

His Majesty the Emperor smiled and nodded, and the Queen Mother did not speak.

Dong Hu knew that he had nothing to do tonight.

He just walked to the door of the house. At the same time, Dong Hu suddenly stopped, turned around and bowed to the emperor first. The old minister then stood up and said: "Your Majesty, I had been seriously ill in Yuanshou for six years. I had to resign at that time, so I dared to beg so shamelessly with Cui Guoshi. I edited a copybook written by Qi Zhiping. "

Song He smiled and said: "Of course I know about this. Except for you, the Imperial Master has never given copybooks to anyone, so at that time, this was a good talk between the government and the public, and I was equally envious. ”

Later, officials from the Li Ministry of Rites went to Lizhu Cave, and the person who helped the court and the archway to build the stele was none other than Dong Hu.

The woman turned her head,He sneered and said: "Dong Shilang, are you hinting at something? Let me tell you, in the Dali officialdom, they have always abided by the rules set by the Imperial Master. Wen and Wu, Wu and Wen, only speak words that both parties can understand."< /p>

Dong Hu, an official coward that even Nascent Soul cultivator Liu Gao knows, for some reason, faced the Queen Mother’s question tonight, the old minister straightened his back a little, “Since the Queen Mother has already asked questions, Then the official should be more straightforward. The order of the four things to repair Qi Zhiping must not be messed up, and the importance, pros and cons, and big and small are obvious."

The woman was about to do it. When he opened his mouth, Emperor Song He said with a gentle look on his face: "Shilang Dong, you go back to your mansion to rest first. You have worked hard tonight."

Dong Hu bowed to His Majesty the Emperor and left the room silently.

Song He said softly: "Mother, don't be angry, Dong Shilang just said what a minister of etiquette should say."

The woman nodded and left the window. Shanshan sat back down and said with a smile: "There's no need to be angry with Dong Hu. He's a nice person, he's well-rounded, and he's not a bad official. The yamen of the Ministry of Rites is running in an orderly manner. Dong Hu really deserves the credit."

Song He breathed a sigh of relief.

That being said, I am afraid that there may be some twists and turns regarding Dong Hu’s posthumous title in the future.

That’s how the Queen Mother does things. People can’t always find any big faults, which is understandable, but sometimes people feel that something is missing.

Song He picked up a piece of orange and said: "Mr. Wen Sheng came to the Imitation White Jade Capital to discuss Taoism with that person and benefited the mountains and rivers of the three continents including Aoping Island. This means that the Confucian Temple must stop by. I will look at Dali more."

The woman smiled and said, "Why are you nervous? Isn't this a good thing? First, Ning Yao didn't abide by Dali's rules and used his sword randomly in the capital. After killing people, the Literary Saint came to Aquarius Island, so he was still aggressive. Yin Guan was young and vigorous. During the meeting in the Confucian Temple, he could rely on his merit and cultural status to speak and act without restraint, beating one after another. The reputation of being arrogant and domineering in the Middle-earth Divine Continent is almost as big as the sky, but a saint like Wen Sheng who worships the fourth god in the Confucian Temple should be reasonable, right?"

Song? He said: "It is extremely difficult for Chen Pingan to achieve what he has today. Although I have never met him, I am willing to respect this person."

The woman smiled and nodded: "Yes, This is your imperial spirit. It would be inappropriate if you have a small belly. Anyway, just don’t be afraid of him."

Song He was speechless for a moment, put the orange slice into his mouth, and chewed it gently. Slightly astringent.

After the old minister left the imperial city, he still took the same carriage with a different driver and headed back home.

Liu Ganxiao asked: "Master Dong, are you in a bad mood? Are you in trouble?"

Dong Hu was so angry that he almost couldn't hold back and started to curse. , you know what the heck, you’re laughing so hard, if you’re not careful, things will change for our Dali court!

The young hidden official and Ning Yao deliberately wore two peace and quiet plaques issued by the Ministry of Punishment.Enter the capital. Any fool knows what it means.

It’s just that the old minister quickly held back and told an old antique who only knew about spiritual practice that the clouds and waves in the court were treacherous.

Liu Gao was silent all the way. It was only when he was approaching Yichi Alley that he suddenly said, "Dong Hu, do you have so little confidence in the Imperial Master?"

Dong Hu was stunned and frowned.

The old Yuanying monk, who was driving steadily, raised his head and glanced into the distance. Many lights in the capital were like daylight, and the shining made the sky above the buildings in the capital seem to be covered with a layer of misty yellow gauze, like That lampshade.

Liu Gao smiled to himself and said: "I don't know anything about officialdom and government. Apart from practicing, I only know one thing. Even if Cui Guoshi is gone now, I will still take care of this." The people of a country, the Great Li cavalry, and countless people like you and me may not be able to do this, but Cui Guoshi can definitely do it."

Dong Hu frowned and did not reach the door. , asked to stop, got off the carriage, thanked Old Yuanying, and walked home slowly.

Liu Gao asked: "What should I do with the carriage?"

Dong Hu turned around and said with a smile, "It's none of my business!"

Liu Gao said with a smile: "Mr. Dong, please be careful when walking at night. I'm very old and it's easy to get dazzled and sprained. I know many doctors in the capital who sell bruises."

Dong Hu choked on his words for a moment and had to say dullly: " Stop the carriage at the entrance of the imperial city and forget about it."

Walking on the extremely wide Yichi Lane, the old servant sometimes sighed and sometimes nodded while stroking his beard.

Reminiscent of those days, I also entered the Hanlin Academy with an old guy from the Zhao family in Tianshui in the same year. They were known to study, drink, recite poems and write pens. His articles are marvelous and outstanding, Zhao Zhi’s calligraphy is like polishing a spear...

That year in the Dali Imperial Examination, Dong Hu and this good friend of the same year, one came second and the other came first. Of course, later The person is still half a round older than me, and still not as good as my young prodigy. Mr. Guan happened to be the tutor that Dong Hu and the others took the exam for back then. When Dong Hu first entered the officialdom, he showed his sharpness in every aspect. As a result, he sat on the bench in the Hanlin Academy for nearly ten years without even having the title of noble nobleman. Dong Hu was Thinking that his official career was hopeless, he simply gave up. His ability to scold people was first-rate. If someone scolded him back, Dong Hu would scold him even more vigorously.

In fact, Dong Hu was only thirty years old at that time, but he already cared about Chi Lane and Chier Street, earning the famous nicknames "Dong Shrew" and "Dong Scold Street" respectively.

Dong Hu stopped. As soon as Mr. Guan left, the row of bricks at the corner of the wall was gone.

Back then, I was very drunk once. I was walking here, holding my hand on the wall, and vomited until I felt like I had vomited my heart, liver, and intestines on the ground.

As a result, he was kicked. Dong Hu cursed and turned around. When he looked at it with drunken eyes, he found that it was the old man Guan. He was so frightened that he was drunk.All woke up.

Mr. Guan asked with a smile at that time: "Hey, who am I talking about? You are so bold that you dare to let wild dogs run wild here. It turns out that it was Dong Xiu who wrote Mr. Dong."

Mr. Guan asked with a smile: "Dong Xiuzan, why do you only scold our civil servants in Yichi Lane and not those vulgar generals in Chier Street?"

Dong Hu As soon as I talked about this, I felt confident. I stiffened my neck and gave the answer truthfully, "I scold the civil servants. I am young and strong now, and I am not afraid of fighting with anyone. If I scold those generals who are big and thick, I will be like today." If you walk at night, you may have to sleep on the street. Besides, our Dali frontier army has achieved great successes in recent years, and I can't even curse them. What's more, they have to do a few silly things over there every now and then. Why are you scolding me? ."

Mr. Guan nodded, "That's right, you're not too stupid. If you want to vomit, just go home and vomit on your mother's belly. You either have a silver gun wax head or a brain. There is a trap, so you can neglect such a pretty wife at home. If you continue like this, be careful of Hongxing getting involved."

Dong Hu blushed immediately. If it hadn't been for his teacher, He insisted on punching him.

Finally, Mr. Guan gave Dong Hu two words.

"When a scholar becomes an official, he is concerned about his concerns. The difficulties are mostly due to his eagerness to achieve fame. Those who are more lucky, such as you, Mr. Dong, may not have enough ability and have family background to make up for it."

p>

"Someone comes to scold me. I know right from wrong. It's not my fault. I pretend to be deaf and dumb and let him scold me. But I get the advantage."

Dong Hu has already woken up. Yes, I immediately bowed and thanked him.

Unexpectedly, the master waited for a long time and slapped Dong Hu on the head, "What a lump of wood. Not to mention sitting on the bench in the Hanlin Academy for several years, I don't think you will be like that." You are all flattered by this cold bench, and you still feel aggrieved. You don’t even know how to say ‘good words should be pondered deeply’?”

What else could Dong Hu do? He could only giggle.

Mr. Guan accompanied Dong Hu for a while and said, "If you scold someone badly, there must be such fools in the officialdom. Otherwise, I will come out with a stick to drive people away tonight. But scolding is not a bad thing." After ten years, you should be a good official, be more pragmatic, and do more serious things. Just remember, if there are young officials like you who like to scold others in the future, be more protective and don't let others scold you. No. Otherwise, my second sentence today will be in vain and fed into the dog's belly." In the night of that year, Dong Hu silently remembered it in his heart.

"Sir, what's wrong with you? Why do you look like you're limping?"

"I kicked you so hard just now that I accidentally got cramps. ”

“Give me a rub?”

“Get out of here”

Today, Dong Hu, who is already an old minister, will let this pass in silence. Remember.

It's a pity that along the way, no one was drunk and vomited against the wall, and no one had a butt to kick.

When we arrived at the door of the house, the concierge was still waiting, but the old servant just sat on the steps, sat quietly for a long time, and smiled casually. After half a century of ups and downs in the officialdom, I am used to hearing the sound of angry waves, and I have also said many harsh words.

Others don’t know.

Know your conscience.

At the corner of the street, the old Yuanying monk returned the carriage and immediately returned here. He found his apprentice squatting at the entrance of the alley eating peanuts, but something seemed different. Liu Ga didn't think much about it. It was the little boy who took advantage of his absence to drink secretly. Whenever something came up, the old man pretended not to know.

Liu Gao took out a first-class "nothing card" from the Ministry of Punishment from his sleeve. Officials from the Ministry of Punishment and the Ministry of Works did not stop him. He let Old Yuanying walk to the well. Liu Gao poked his head around and took a look. , It's a pity. If those traces of swordsmanship were not erased by that woman, it would be a great blessing for the swordsmen recorded in the Ministry of Punishments. Even if he couldn't see any flowers, Liu Ga put his hands behind his back and paced back to the entrance of the alley. He said to the young man: "Did you see it? Look at Master Chen Shan. He has found such a daughter-in-law with great swordsmanship. From now on, You guys should look for her at this level, so don’t hang out with Drunkard Cao. Good girls will be scared away.”

Zhao Duanming said, “Master, why didn’t you find a master’s wife?”

p>

Liu Jian smiled and said: "When Master was young, he was much more handsome than Chen Ping'an and Cao Gengxin.

(This chapter is not finished, please turn the page)

p>

Zhou Shan is famous for being charming and suave, but he doesn’t care about love between men and women. Otherwise, let alone a master’s wife, he can’t count them on one hand.”

The young man is not in the middle of winter. Said: "Master, you must not be sleepwalking. Wake up quickly."

In the palace.

Song He suddenly said: "Queen Mother, why don't I go find Chen Ping'an?"

The woman sneered: "Nonsense! What can you talk to him about? What can you talk to him about?" After greeting each other, it was hard for you to be a hermit official and not be able to return home for a long time. Or should you, Chen Pingan, continue to work hard and contribute more to the Dali court now that you have become the leader of the sect? Or should your Majesty want to imitate Zhao? Just like Yao, a majestic ninety-five-year-old man, why do you want to humble yourself and recognize a junior master?"

Song He hesitated.

The woman smiled softly: "Don't worry about it after I said it. Don't let the Zhengyang Mountain viewing ceremony and Ning Yao's sword draw mess up your sense of proportion. The basis of Chen Pingan's sword questioning was What? It seems unreasonable, but it is actually measured. I am more confident than you in dealing with a mountain man like Chen Pingan."

On the roof of Tianlu Pavilion.

Song Xu felt a little complicated. Not only did they have pictures of the detailed process of the viewing ceremony at Zhengyang Mountain and Chen Pingan's question of swordsmanship, but they even carefully dismantled each link. He thought he was disappointed. Chen Ping'an and Liu Xianyang of the Longquan Sword Sect were already unreasonable enough. They never thought that they would meet Ning Yao who was born in the Great Wall of Sword Qi again today.

KoreaZhou Jin was a little disapproving and whispered: "The swordsmanship is high, and the appearance is good-looking, but not too outstanding."

Yu Yu was lying on the roof, with an empty wine bottle on his head, his head shaking. Wandering back and forth, crossing his legs, still swaying, he said casually: "Ning Yao's appearance is not outstanding, Chen Ping'an is not worthy of her."

This little girl of the military monk is still a beautiful girl. Scold both. Just like a person's knowledge can be gained by reading more books, but his sense of humor is mostly innate. So some of the "fair words" that come from the heart are similar to those of Gu Jianlong who stayed in the summer palace. They really depend on his talent.

The young Taoist priest who served as the Taoist priest of the capital was filled with emotion. He just felt that such amazing swordsmanship at its peak would never appear in the human world.

The little novice monk who had not yet completed his training in the Bible Translation Bureau put his hands together and exclaimed: "Ning Jianxian's sword skills are invincible."

Song Xu turned around and looked at the little monk. .

This little novice once single-handedly hunted down a deviant monk who was wandering around various states and committing crimes. He killed innocent people indiscriminately and threatened that those he killed would have to bear the retribution of death in this life due to their previous karma. , and dare to claim that as long as he puts down his butcher knife one day, he can still become a Buddha immediately. He also said that if you kill someone, young monk, you have broken the precept of killing. After returning to the Beijing Bible Translation Bureau, the young novice began to read books behind closed doors. In the end, he not only solved the doubts in his mind and determined where the person was wrong, but also read 108 Buddhist public cases. When the young novice went out After that, my Taoist mind became clear, and I no longer had any worries. What I saw in my eyes seemed to be that the entire scripture translation bureau was a stain-free Taoist temple glowing with glazed glass, and the dozens of volumes of scriptures translated by Buddhist monks seemed to have transformed into a Buddhist dragon. elephant. Since then, the young novice has been studying the three words "absence and absence".

Song Xu took another look at the capital Daolu whose father was once a general. Once in a local prefecture, he met a prisoner in a narrow alley, and they were separated in an instant. Life and death, when the young Taoist priest was found afterwards, his body was covered with scars and his flesh and blood were blurred. He fell to the ground against the wall, sitting opposite the corpse. But for some reason, the young Taoist priest always opened his eyes slightly, with some tears on his face.

Then there is the female formation master who was born in Qingtan Paradise.

Everyone seems to have their own story. But no one seems to care that much.

Yu Yu was the first to notice Song Xu's change in mood and asked, "What's wrong?"

Before Song Xu could give an answer, the little girl already said carelessly: "Don't think too much. You are not destined to be the emperor anyway. You are now a Jindan Sword Cultivator. You have a bright future in the mountains. There is no turning back. It is something only a fool does. You may meet your eldest brother's son in the future. The latter You are already a gray-haired old man, but when I see you, I still have to call you uncle, haha, 'the future life is scary', then continue to practice hard and break through every day, you will be better than anything else."

Song Xu. He couldn't help laughing and said: "It's very true, if you can accept good words and good principles, you can become a rich man."

Yu Yu was a little embarrassed, and said angrily: "Don't imitateThat guy needs to speak, otherwise my aunt will be in a hurry with you. "

Song Xuhou, who always sat and stood, leaned back and stretched out a hand, "Bring the wine, it must be the immortal wine from Changchun Palace.

Yu Yu laughed dryly and said: "How can I afford such expensive and lawless drinks? I was just talking nonsense with Aunt Feng." "

The young monk silently recited a line from Amitabha, "There are seven or eight altars hidden in Yu Yu's square-inch object. "

Yu Yu cursed: "Little bald man! "

The little monk touched his bald head and sighed for no reason: "When will the little novice be able to comb away all the 108 troubles?" ”

Yu Yu was stunned for a moment, probably thinking that the little monk was really thinking about business, so he let him go for the time being. Who doesn’t know how to knock a wooden fish?

The little monk had a faint light from the corner of his eye. Slant, ha.

Han Zhoujin reminded: "Yu Yu, he is fooling you.

The young monk clasped his hands together, "Song Xu is right, you can't afford to offend a beautiful woman." "

Song Xu said: "I never said that. "

The young monk Buddha sang and said, "That's what Song Xu said in his dream. "

As the only fire temple in the capital, it enshrines a statue of Lord Huodexing.

The temple is not big, and it is not open to the common people of the capital. Whenever the capital is in trouble, Or officials from the Ministry of Rites would come here when there was a disaster somewhere.

Every time Aunt Feng came to the capital to help those children preach, she would stay here.

A flower shed was set up and a few stone benches were set up, and Aunt Feng sat there a little drunk tonight.

Miao Zhu is an old woman, just an ordinary person. Because of her age, if not for the fact that there is nothing here in the Fire Temple. There's something to be done, and people can be replaced a long time ago. It is said that the court had planned to change the temple ceremony, and the Ministry of Rites and Yamen had recorded the event, but in the end a certain girl with a strange background did not come, so the matter was abandoned.

There is probably no one in the world who understands this better than her.

Qi Jingchun of the Literary Sage lineage, Cui Han of the Great Li Kingdom, Chen Ping'an, the last hidden official of the Sword Qi Great Wall, and of course Ning Yao of the colorful world

The road is high and far away. It is extremely difficult to be stable. It is even more difficult to achieve immortality. It is not even because of lack of qualifications or lack of character. On the contrary, just like the Xiuhu who has a sky-high ambition, he chooses to do so. The path he has taken has given up too many other paths. Is Cui Chen unable to change his path? Of course not. Aunt Feng took a sip of wine. Maybe this is human nature that makes no sense. In the mud of people's hearts, everywhere The inn is still blooming, and the wind does not shake it.

The inn is still open. It is worthy of being in the capital. Chen Pingan walked into it. The old shopkeeper was a night owl. He seemed to be reading a strange novel. The shopkeeper raised his head. Spotting Chen Pingan, he smiled and joked: "When did you go out? Why didn't you make any sound? ”

Chen Pingan smiled and said: “Shopkeeper, with youDiscuss something?

The old man put down the book and said, "Why, are you planning to spend five hundred taels of silver to buy the official kiln in your hometown?" It's a good thing, it's like helping it return to its hometown, it's easy to talk to, it's a good relationship, give it, give it, pay it with one hand and deliver the goods with the other hand. "

Chen Pingan said helplessly: "At least let me see the quality first. ”

As a result, the old shopkeeper bowed his head and bent down, and with some difficulty moved out a large vase from the foot of the counter. The thing bought for more than ten taels of silver could not be put anywhere.

Chen Pingan helped to hold it up carefully, bent his fingers, tapped lightly, and asked casually: "The shopkeeper is still up so late? "

The old man looked at the boy's eyes and face carefully. He didn't have any flaws at all, not even a deliberately disapproving look. He casually replied: "My daughter is homeless. , I went to the night market with some crazy girls, but I haven’t come back yet. Anyway, I had nothing to do, so I just waited. Normally, I would have asked the store clerk to look after the door. In fact, in this capital city, there is nothing to worry about. It’s just that I am a father, and I have a daughter who came late. She is the youngest girl in the family, so who cares if I don’t care about her? If my son dares to make such a fuss, I can’t beat him to death with a feather duster. "

Chen Pingan glanced at the old shopkeeper, who was in his fifties.

The old man stroked his beard and smiled, "Want to be my son-in-law? No, we are from a small family, but we will not wrong our daughter. She must be married to a matchmaker and carry a big sedan to the front door. "

Chen Ping'an smiled and said: "It's this old man. Likewise, if I have a daughter, and any prostitute dares to take another look at her on the street, I will beat his parents until they cannot recognize him. "

The old man nodded. He felt comfortable chatting with this guy. He lay on the counter and said, "Lao Guilao, what do you think of this deal?" You kid should be more precise. If such a large and valuable item is placed on the counter, it can easily be stolen if others look at it. ”

Chen Ping’an raised the vase slightly and looked at the bottom of the vase. It was indeed the eight-character auspicious symbol the old shopkeeper called, the blue sky is far away, and the summer is lonely.

At first glance , a bit like the meaning of Taoism's Qing Ci, such as Yuan Du's Yu Ke, guarding the wind and watching the scenery, holding up Qing Ming, but the second half of the sentence actually comes from Confucianism.

If you have to stretch your imagination a bit, The only weird thing is that the first and last words form the word "Qing Ming" in the world of Qing Ming.

So Chen Ping'an secretly used his magical power and looked carefully, and finally found this vase. , there is no difference, there is no trace of a Qi practitioner, and Chen Ping'an is already familiar with the earthy nature of porcelain, but he still follows the path of refining the natal objects belonging to the five elements, and still does not notice the slightest meaning, which means that this At least this vase has not passed through the hands of the senior brother, but it is indeed an official kiln made from the Long Kiln in his hometown. It is actually a matter of fate that it can end up in such an inn.

Chen Ping'an said with a smile. : "Shopkeeper, we have enough goods to open the door. In the future, we will find someone who is knowledgeable and has money in his pocket. If the other party is not happy and dares to offer less than five hundred taels of silver, your boss can scold him and spray him."It's absolutely not a shame to spit on Xingzi. Furthermore, this eight-character auspicious phrase has a certain origin and is very unusual. It is likely that it was taken from the Guange style of the head of the Zhao family in Tianshui during the Yuanshou period, and came from a collection of characters. ”

The old man was overjoyed to see that it didn’t look like he was being fake, but the boy said, “Shopkeeper, I plan to stay in the capital for a few more days, and then I’ll live here...”

The old man just carefully put the vase back under the counter, and immediately said after hearing this: "I'll sell it to you for three hundred taels of silver! Once the deal is settled, all the money you spent on staying in the inn for the next few days will be waived. "

Chen Ping'an said helplessly: "Shopkeeper, you really have gone astray.

The old man stretched out his hand and said, "Stop talking, I'm a lax person, and the inn may have several more empty rooms tomorrow." "

Compete with me in terms of experience in the world? You are still a bit young.

Chen Ping'an's eyes lit up. He first reached out and grasped the palm of the old shopkeeper, and then took out his sleeve to give money. .

The old shopkeeper was stunned, shook his hands vigorously, and said with a smile: "Forget it, I don't think you are a rich man. The capital is expensive, and it is not easy to carry such a big thing..."

Chen Pingan smiled knowingly, remained calm and resentful, and continued to talk a few words. The old shopkeeper waved his hand and said firmly: "No need to talk! "

Ning Yao suddenly appeared at the door, and then... his own husband came from Dadu in the middle of Aquarius Continent.

Chen Pingan walked out of the threshold quickly, He bowed and saluted, "I've met Mr. "

The old scholar smiled and grabbed the closed disciple's arm, "Let's go to your room to drink. "

Chen Ping'an said from his heart: "Actually, it's just one room. "

The old scholar stamped his feet and felt very sad. He, his husband, has been treated like a bastard!

The old scholar immediately turned to Ning Yao and said, "Girl Ning, it's no coincidence. I have to meet someone. It’s not too late to come back for a drink tomorrow. It might be the day after tomorrow or the day after tomorrow. I don’t know for sure. You don’t have to wait for me... "

Ning Yao shook his head and smiled: "No, there are many empty rooms in the inn. ”

Chen Pingan and the old scholar looked at each other and sighed at the same time.

One has a sad look in his eyes, and I really have to blame Mr. today, and the other is full of guilt, blaming me and me, I'm sorry, sir.

Then Chen Ping'an couldn't help but laugh, "Sir, go drink. "

The old scholar nodded, "Okay, okay." "

Only when you are drunk can you have a chance to make amends.

But Chen Ping'an suddenly turned his head and saw a jumping girl walking across the street.

I saw her eyebrows

Chen Pingan stared blankly, then suddenly turned his head and glanced in the direction of Renyun Yiyun Tower, then looked away, his eyes were red and his lips were trembling, as if he wanted to raise his head. Even the old scholar and Ning Yao looked at each other, wondering what was going on in his life., after learning boxing and leaving home, such gaffes have been rare, maybe even... never?

Chen Pingan raised his arm, wiped his eyes, then put on a smile, took a few steps forward, and waited quietly for the girl.

Many years ago.

Someone is about to lose their soul. She said, I hope Mr. Chen and the girl he likes can be a couple of gods and immortals.

The haggard accountant said he hoped to meet Miss Su again by chance.

She finally said, tens of thousands, when the time comes, Mr. Chen will not be able to recognize me?

That was just something that happened to Chen Pingan many years ago, but it was something that happened to a girl in her previous life.

Tonight, the girl who came home late at night gradually slowed down and felt that the man in green shirt standing at the door of his store was very strange. He was staring at her blankly. Could he be a prostitute?

The girl saw the man raising his hand, waving with a smile, and said in a trembling voice: "Hello, my name is Chen Ping'an, Ping'an's Ping'an."

The girl was silent for a moment, Then he suddenly shouted: "Dad, a gangster is teasing me!"

The old shopkeeper rushed out of the inn and said with an angry smile: "Don't talk nonsense, he is a guest in our store."

Oh, laughing is uglier than crying.

What a weirdo.

Dad, it’s true, why do you have such a customer?

The old scholar sat on the steps, smiling and saying nothing. I roughly guessed the truth.

Chen Pingan took a deep breath, turned his head, then turned his head again after a moment, and apologized to Ning Yao: "I'm sorry, don't think too much, I'll tell you why later."

Ning Yao smiled and shook his head, his eyes gentle, "It's okay."

If you are not such a person, why do I like you so much.

You are Chen Pingan, and I am Ning Yao. For thousands of years, we have loved each other.
