I go to the ancient imperial examinations

Chapter 197

Wei Daru looked at Zhan Feiyu who was led in by the servant, perhaps because of his eccentric temperament, so even when facing a little girl, his attitude was the same cold and alienated, "Since you have the token of Forbidden Dragon Guard, why bother?" come here."

In the Daqing Dynasty, no one knew that the Dragon Guards were forbidden. Although the collection of books in the Wushulou of the Wei family is rich, it can be called the largest in the south of the Yangtze River.But if Jin Longwei really wanted to find any books, he didn't need Wei Daru at all, as long as he let out the wind, whether it was for flattery or fear, he would definitely offer the books with both hands.

"I wanted to find some miscellaneous books, but it was hard to find the bookstore, so I came to visit. Please forgive me for disturbing you." Zhan Feiyu explained the purpose of his visit.

All major bookstores sell books related to imperial examinations, and there are also some scriptures and the like, but there are basically no books like "Heavenly Creation" and "Qi Min Yao Shu".

Some big families may have such a collection of books, but Zhan Feiyu and Mingsan can’t visit each family, not necessarily, even if they have, they may not necessarily borrow them, the name of Qingya Academy is not enough, but they can’t In the name of Gu Xueshi, so coming to Wei Daru is the most convenient way.

Perhaps when it comes to books, Wei Daru's attitude is rare, but he is a little puzzled, "Why are you looking for these books?"

Zhan Feiyu didn't hide it either, "The student visited Qingya Academy's Master Ming Shan before, and Mr. Ming San plans to open an academy of arts and crafts to teach ordinary people to learn various arts..."

Time passed little by little.

The book boy and servant waiting outside the door looked into the flower hall in amazement. The master was able to talk with a little girl for half an hour, which was unprecedented.

Wei Daru deserves to be an expansive book, "This book has three volumes and eighteen chapters, which are divided into chapters according to the meaning of 'Grains are more expensive than gold and jade'. The first chapter: "Nai Li" about the cultivation techniques of food crops; "Nai Fu" records Sources and processing methods of raw materials for clothing."

The first part: "Nai Li" (grain), "Nai Fu" (weaving), "Chang Shi" (dyeing), "Essence" (grain processing), "Zuo Xian" (salt making), "Sweet" ( sugar).

"Tiangong Kaiwu" includes various production technologies such as agriculture, handicrafts, machinery, bricks and tiles, ceramics, etc., but books are books after all, and most craftsmen are not literate. Their skills rely on their ancestors or masters Word of mouth, or the experience I gained from my daily work.

"The third son of the Ming Dynasty intends to let the master teach according to the book, while the experienced craftsman will use the actual experience to teach. The combination of the two will usually take three years." Zhan Feiyu saw that Wei Daru did not look down on craftsmen, and said in more detail .

"Scholars, farmers, businessmen and four people are the people of the country." Wei Daru is good at books and loves books, and he also has a reputation for raising people, but he doesn't think that only scholars are noble, and skilled craftsmen are also indispensable.

Although Zhan Feiyu has a photographic memory, after all, he has a short reading time and only reads books related to the imperial examination. He only knows about various miscellaneous books, "I heard that the book "Wooden Classic" is about building Books, but this book has been lost, and books like this are hard to find."

In rural farmhouses, one or two craftsmen who are proficient in building houses are found to build a house, and then the villagers help, and the house is built, while the state capital has craftsmen who specialize in building houses, but the skills are not passed on. Otherwise, it would not be said that "the apprentice of the church starved to death the master".

"You came to Fengzhou because of books, and secondly because Fengzhou is the hometown of craftsmen." Wei Daru devoted himself to studying in his early years, but after the tragic death of his parents, wife and children, and reading history books these years, he is no longer the kind of two The pedantic nerd who didn't hear anything outside the window guessed the purpose of Zhan Feiyu's trip after talking.

It's just that Wei Daru is a little puzzled. The little girl's clothes are obviously from a wealthy family, but which big family will let a little girl show their faces?

If this is a man in the family, it can still be said to be training, but this delicate little girl should not be pampered in the backyard.

Sensing Wei Daru's scrutinizing gaze, Zhan Feiyu stood up and reported his family background, "Zhan Feiyu, a student of Southern Xuan."

"It turned out to be you." Rao Wei Daru lived at home, but he also knew Zhan Feiyu's name from his subordinates. A little girl was apprenticed to Gu Xueshi, and even participated in the imperial examination. The key government examination was still the top case.

Originally Wei Daru also thought about whether the magistrate of Nanxuan government chose Zhan Feiyu as the case leader to curry favor with Master Gu, but the scholars in Nanxuan government did not cause any disturbances, which shows that Zhan Feiyu has real talents and learning, otherwise why would he? Convince.

"Since you have the Token of the Forbidden Dragon Guard, you know what happened in the early years of the Wei family. I give you ten days, and you can come to Wushulou to copy it." In the end, Wei Daru agreed to let Zhan Feiyu copy the book. The fact that everything came to light was due to the investigation of the Forbidden Dragon Guard, and his move was also to return favors.

……

The news that a little girl entered the Wei mansion spread all over Fengzhou City. Originally, these scholars in Fengzhou had already given up their thoughts, and they even slandered Wei Daru in private as a weird old man. Bookstore, take all the rare ancient books to the underworld.

Only those who want to gain fame, or scholars from other places, will visit Wei's house, but they are turned away every time. No one thought that Zhan Feiyu could enter the gate of Wei's house. Come out after an hour.

On the carriage, Zhu Changyun was grateful. Although he tried his best to suppress his emotions, the corners of his eyes were slightly red. Zhu Changyun wanted to try his luck with Wei Daru because he was desperate, but he didn't expect a turnaround.

"It's just a little effort." Mingsan patted Zhu Changyun's shoulder, looking a little dazed.At that time, I failed in my apprenticeship, and since then I have given up the imperial examination, calling friends and friends all day long, dreaming about life and death, only thinking that I am a celebrity.

But looking at Zhu Changyun who is struggling to study, Ming San doesn't regret being young and frivolous at the beginning, but now what he wants to do but can only come up with the title of scholar, he is really ashamed and ashamed.

The carriage stopped, it would be sunset time, the smell of food wafted in the alley, and the children who were running around and playing were surprised to see Zhan Feiyu and the others getting out of the carriage.

"Changyun, who is this?" The neighbor's aunt looked at Zhu Changyun who was the last to get off the carriage in surprise. The neighbors in the neighborhood knew what happened to him. At most, they could help take care of Zhu's younger brother, and they couldn't do anything else.

Other neighbors also walked out of the house, perhaps Zhan Feiyu and the others who were afraid of the expensive clothes, but they looked at Zhu Changyun with worry and concern.

"Aunt Wang, please take care of Hong'er. I'm going to study in a different place for a few days." Zhu Changyun thanked Aunt Wang gratefully. Since Hong'er became a little silly, Aunt Wang helped take care of her.

"Are you able to read?" Aunt Wang raised her voice in surprise, especially the other neighbors.

After Liu Baihu let go, Zhu Changyun's wife and classmates avoided seeing him. They thought that he could no longer take the imperial examination and could only support his family by working hard like them. Unexpectedly, Zhu Changyun met a nobleman.

Because the family is poor, it is quick to pack the luggage, and it is summer, so the clothes are only two big burdens. As for other things, there are all in the other courtyard and there is no need to bring them.

"This is my younger brother, Zhu Changhong." Zhu Changyun patted his younger brother's head, looked at the thin younger brother with round eyes, and then looked at the chubby Zhan Feiyu and Qi Heng. Zhu Changyun once again confirmed his determination for the imperial examination determination.

Hong'er's eyes were dull, and he was timid. He grabbed Zhu Changyun's sleeve and hid behind him. Maybe Zhan Feiyu and Qi Heng were also children, but he just stared at them blankly, and didn't make any other moves to avoid them. .

"Get in the carriage, let's..." Before Ming San finished speaking, he saw several figures walking quickly from the entrance of the alley.

The leading man looked to be only 25 or [-] years old. He was wearing bunts, but he was just full of scorn, and he looked at people with triangular eyes.

"Lu Biao, what do you want to do?" Zhu Changyun's face was full of disgust. Even if there was no evidence, he knew that the fire that burned all his belongings was set by Lu Biao and a group of local rascals.

Liu Baihu definitely doesn't have time to pay attention to small ants like Zhu Changyun, so it is Lu Biao who is following him. Although he doesn't have a serious job, he has more than 20 local ruffians under him, and he does some things for some merchants on weekdays. thing.

Lu Biao was also staring at him, so all Zhu Changyun's classmates and friends could not help him, and just now Lu Biao received the news, so he brought a group of hooligans here.

Ignoring Zhu Changyun, Lu Biao held a section of dog's tail grass in his mouth, tilted his head and looked at the three of Zhan Feiyu, and finally looked at Mingsan and said in a bad tone: "This young man must not be a native of Fengzhou, I advise you In a word, don't meddle in other people's business, or if you take two children with you, it will be taken away by a pauper."

Although Ming San was dressed as a literati with wide sleeves and robes, he had been in Nanxuan Mansion for many years, and a local ruffian really couldn't scare him. He pointed at Zhan Feiyu with a folding fan in his hand, and said with a smile, "If you can get this girl It's up to you to kidnap."

As soon as this remark came out, all the people present were stunned, seriously suspecting that Ming had three patriarchal patriarchal values, only protecting the little fat Qi Heng, and didn't care about Zhan Feiyu's life or death.

He spat out the grass in his mouth with a bah, Lu Biao's face changed violently, his hands clasped together, his joints cracked, "Don't toast or eat fine wine! Let me tell you the truth, I wish Changyun offended you can't offend My lord, you have to meddle in your own business, don't blame me for being rude today!"

With the backing of Chen Baihu, Lu Biao is really not afraid of offending others.

In addition, Ming San and the others saw that they were all fat sheep, so they said that the pendants hanging on the waists of the three of them were either white jade or emerald. One piece was estimated to be worth a hundred taels, and three pieces added up to 300 taels. Greed.

"Ah!" Accompanied by Zhu Changhong's terrified cry, the alley suddenly became chaotic.

Eight or nine gangsters charged forward with fists swung, four of them surrounded He Sheng who was driving the carriage, two of the remaining five blocked Ming San, and the other two blocked Zhu Changyun.

The last person walked towards the three children, Zhan Feiyu, Qi Heng and Zhu Changhong, with a vicious look.

The neighbors around wanted to help but dared not come forward. They offended the ruffians like Lu Biao and waited for the housework to settle down. Zhu Changyun's house had already been burned once.

"Little girl, if you don't want to be beaten, hand over the hairpin and jade pendant on your head." The sharp-mouthed monkey-cheeked ruffian smiled viciously, and his greedy eyes fell on Zhan Feiyu. Who made her have agate white on her head? As for the hosta, Qi Heng also had a piece of jade hanging around his waist.

Knowing Zhan Feiyu's skills, Qi Heng pulled Hong'er who was trembling with fright to the side, and was a little worried, "Little fish?"

"Don't worry." Zhan Feiyu raised his chin and moved his wrist.

Just when the local ruffian got impatient and bent down to snatch the jade pendant on Zhan Feiyu's waist, Zhan Feiyu punched him directly on the nose.

After hitting the target with a punch, Zhan Feiyu stepped back suddenly, stepped on the wheel of the carriage with his right foot, and flew away with this strength, and hit the ruffian's head with a whirlwind kick.

"Woo..." The ruffian clutched his bloody nose in pain, before he could react, he was kicked in the head again, only felt his eyes go dark, and his body fell to the ground with a bang.

Zhan Feiyu looked at the ruffian who was struggling and seemed to want to get up, and then glanced at Qi Heng and Honger who were scared beside him. kicked.

There was a shrill scream like killing a pig, and the hooligans who were doing it were all shocked. When they looked back, they saw Chen Da lying on the ground, with nosebleeds all over his face, covering his crotch with his hands, curled up in the He screamed in pain on the ground.

At this moment, Lu Biao and others subconsciously tightened their legs.

"You!" Chen Datong's voice changed, pointing at Zhan Feiyu with one hand, and wiping the nosebleed off his face with the other, "You...wait..."

Hong'er, who was guarded by Qi Heng, stared blankly. Suddenly, he rushed over like a firecracker. Before everyone could react, Hong'er suddenly raised his foot and pointed at Chen Da's thigh. A heavy step.

"Ah!" An even more shrill scream sounded, this time Chen Da was in severe pain, his body hunched over and twitching non-stop.

"Hong'er!" Qi Heng hurried over and dragged Hong'er back, even though he was only an eight-year-old fat boy, but Qi Heng also subconsciously wiped the cold sweat that didn't exist on his forehead.

Hong'er broke free from Qi Heng's hand in two or three times, but rubbed against Zhan Feiyu, raised her head, with a pair of big eyes shining brightly on her thin and disfigured face, "Sister."

Uh... Zhan Feiyu, who had spoiled the child, smiled dryly, a little afraid to look at the stunned Zhu Changyun.

Mingsan and He Sheng looked at Zhan Feiyu with an innocent expression, who could fight like this?No, ordinary little girls don't know how to fight, even if they fight, they scratch their faces and pull their hair, and Xiaoyu's kick...

He Sheng looked at a group of hooligans who were also frightened with a blank face. I don't know if Master Qi knew this move. Miss Chong Guang may have taught you this move. After you go back, you must send a secret letter to Master Qi. Chong Guang should be sacked. whip!

A moment later, Lu Biao and a group of ruffians were lying on the ground in disorder. In order to prevent Zhan Feiyu from making another move, He Sheng moved so quickly that he cleaned up all the ruffians in the blink of an eye.

The carriage swayed towards Nanhu Lane, and when he returned to the other courtyard of Qi's house, Zhan Feiyu felt helpless when he saw Hong'er following behind him like a tail.

The little guy was only five years old, but he was so skinny that he only had a handful of bones left. His big eyes were still a little dazed, but he followed Zhan Feiyu as if he was admitting death, no matter how much Zhu Changyun coaxed him, it was useless.

"It's okay, just follow me." Zhan Feiyu smiled and touched Hong'er's head. The little guy was still dumbfounded, but his eyes were obviously shining.

After Zhan Feiyu returned to the room, just as he picked up the book, he saw Hong Er suddenly raised his leg, and then stomped his foot down heavily. His thin face was tense, and he looked full of momentum.

After a long while, Hong'er stomped his feet again and let out an "ah", Zhan Feiyu was ashamed.

"This child?" He Nuan glanced at Hong'er in surprise. The five-year-old child was skinny. Although he stomped fiercely, he looked cute and cute.

Rubbing his brows, Zhan Feiyu looked at Hong'er who was stomping his feet for the third time with a bitter face, and could only say, "Ah Nuan, bamboo is planted in the north corner of the garden, please cut a bamboo for me, not too long, enough He can use it."

A while later, Zhan Feiyu brought Hong'er with a small tail to the garden, and took the bamboo that was half a person's height. Zhan Feiyu played with it hahahaha.

"Hong'er, here you are, if there are bad guys in the future, use this to beat them!" Zhan Feiyu solemnly handed the bamboo pole to Hong'er.

Sure enough, although the little guy didn't speak, he tightly grasped the bamboo pole with both hands, and didn't stomp his feet any more. While Zhan Feiyu was reading, the little guy sat obediently aside, but still held the bamboo pole in his arms.
