Qi Langzhong paused for a moment while speaking, and then said: "The sky changed in the capital, when Shen Qing'an slaughtered the officials, there were many well-informed people who returned to their hometown to avoid disaster."

"There is one of them named Ouyang Ji. Ouyang Ji used to be quite famous in Kyoto, and he won Tanhualang at the age of 16. I heard that he had the talent of the number one scholar, but because he was too beautiful, he was criticized. Tanhua."

"Ouyang Ji's wife's surname is Lu. Speaking of which, she is of the same family as your Duan family's old grandmother. Everyone in the world likes elegant things, such as three Jinshi in one school. At that time, many people called Ouyang Ji a little Duan Xiang. "

Qi Langzhong obviously did his homework early in the morning, "It means that Ouyang Ji is likely to be the next Mr. Duan."

"Ouyang Ji was very proud. After hearing this, he immediately resigned from his job in the Ministry of Officials and went to Guozixue to be a master. He stayed there for ten years. He devoted himself to learning all these years, The name of great Confucianism is the mainstay of the Qing Dynasty."

A rumbling thunder sounded, breaking the dull afternoon.

Duan Yi looked out of the window, and there were dark clouds, lightning bolts lit up in the sky, and heavy rain fell in a hurry.

She frowned, "Sir, continue to say, so Ouyang Ji is from Xiangyang?"

Qi Langzhong nodded, "Exactly, I returned to Xiangyang not long ago, and now I am the head of Shannan literati. The day after tomorrow will be Ouyang Ji's birthday, and he will hold a birthday banquet in the mansion, we can go..."

Duan Yi listened and interrupted Qi Langzhong's words.

"Mr. is anxious to ask me to be a corporal, but I think that Mr. should stand up straight in front of those Jinshi first."

Qi Langzhong's pupils shrank sharply, and he tightened his hand holding the cane. All the words he had prepared early in the morning were blocked in his throat.

Duan Yi's words, like a sharp sword, directly pierced him.

Duan Yi didn't turn around, but stretched out her hand to catch the rainwater coming in from the window.

On the chessboard that has not been taken away, there are splashes of water bit by bit, and the rainwater is full of earthy smell.

"The rain is really heavy! The villagers say that this year is likely to be a flood year. Now it is a double rush. If the rice is drying in the valley, it will be a disaster."

"Experienced people can tell how this year is going to be, but Ouyang Ji, who can read poetry and books, can't. It's not that he's not good at it, but as I said earlier, he has a specialization in art."

"Sir, you didn't pass the Jinshi exam, but so what? My grandfather didn't want so many great Confucians to be rejected, so he wanted brother Mingrui to worship under you."

"Sir, don't underestimate yourself, let alone me."

Duan Yi said, turned around, went to the table and sat down.

The mung bean soup bowl on the table has been taken away by Zhilu, and now there is freshly boiled hot tea on it.

"Cui Zi can even honor the virtuous corporal and celebrate Ouyang Ji's birthday to show his affinity, but I can't. They already look down on me, if I lift them up to the sky, it will encourage their arrogance."

"Even if it is used by me, from that day on, it will definitely be with eyes higher than the top, walking sideways in front of me like a crab. Open your mouth to give honest words to your ears, shut your mouth and hit the pillar as an admonition."

"I want to govern one side, not to be governed by them."

Duan Yi looked at Qi Langzhong who was stunned, and sighed softly in her heart.

Mr. Qi has taught her for so many years, it can be said that most of her abilities are due to him.

He is good in everything, but there is such a knot in his heart.

He didn't pass the exam, so when he was in front of the intellectuals who passed the exam, he always felt that he was a head short.

It's easy to teach others to see through, but when it comes to yourself, it's not easy to see Mount Tai with a blind eye.

"Sir, just preside over Enke, and I and Han Hechi will make the questions together. You don't need to sing praises, and you don't need to be prosperous, just ask about state affairs and civil affairs. We are waiting for prosperity, and what we need now are people who can do practical things."

"I like Han Jianghe very much, because he can grow rice, wants to grow rice, and is willing to feed the people; I also like Mr. Guan. He has a lot of money and can be a rich man who enjoys himself at home."

"But ever since I met him, he has never stopped. He led the Guan family's children to build bridges and build roads everywhere."

Duan Yi said with burning eyes, "We are very short of people, but we are not short of people. The list of recruiting talents is released, and those who are willing to take the imperial examination will naturally come to take the exam; , You can recommend yourself or ask someone to recommend you.”

"People who recognize me and want to work for me, such as Han Jianghe, don't need me. He is more anxious than me. I have to see if he has real skills before using him."

"The person who doesn't recognize me and wants me to beg him to come back and point my nose at me, why should I look at him? I'm proud of myself, and seeing him depressed and unable to accomplish anything, wouldn't it be nice?"

"What's more, it would be a waste to kill those who want to find trouble. It would be better to go directly to open up wasteland and dig canals, just because there is a shortage of manpower."

Jian Qi Lang fell into deep thought.

Duan Yi pushed the tea in his direction, "Mr. is a scholar of the state, and should assist the monarch. But back then, he chose me regardless of other people's opinions; now why is it that he has fallen into the cliché and is afraid of those scholars? "

"If this goes on like this, I'm afraid the patriarch will have a dream tonight and ask Uncle Yan to expel you from the sect!"

When Qi Lang heard the word "Yan", he woke up instantly.

He hopped, walked quickly to the table, picked up the tea, gulped down a big gulp, then sat down, "How dare you, old thief!"

When Qi Lang said, the old man blushed, he cleared his throat, and said, "It's me. But, this old man is good at medicine and can teach his apprentices. He is already so powerful. If there is nothing wrong with it, then others Why call me Mr. Doctor, you have to call me Immortal!"

Duan Yi saw that he had returned to his usual high-spirited look, and clapped his hands a few times.

"Lingji, Lingji, come to meet your fairy brother. Lingji is the master of Lingji, and he will become a fairy before you."

When Qi Langzhong heard this, he fell back angrily. He hurriedly stood up and hummed, "It's raining so much, I want to send an umbrella to my son! After discussing with Han Hechi tonight, I will discuss what you said. I will write you a rule."

Duan Yi gave a thumbs up, "That's right, it should have been like this a long time ago! After such a distance, I can hear brother Jinghong crying, sir, remember to bring the milk!"

Qi Lang shook his beard and limped out the door.

The rain fell down the eaves and wet the promenade. Qi Lang held an umbrella and stood watching for a long time. When he saw Duan Yi wearing this coir raincoat and leading Gu Yu out, he let out a long sigh of relief.

yes!So what if you don't pass the Jinshi exam?
He no longer had to hang himself from a beam, feeling that he was underappreciated.

There is no need to feel that he is short in front of others, because he is the only one who knows people with his eyes and has chosen Duan Yi from thousands of sentient beings.

Is there anyone in the world who has more confidence than him to recruit scholars?Neither can Ouyang Ji.
