Chapter 9

Leaving Tuo County?Luo Ning frowned upon hearing this.

The mother is missing, but she may return home to find her siblings.

If you leave Tuo County with your younger sister, then the mother will not be able to find anyone when she comes back.

Affected by the original owner's emotions, Luo Ning certainly cared about this mother.

Luo Ning didn't doubt Cai Ji's words, he could see that the person who wanted to take Li'er as his concubine was indeed not Cai Ji.

"Zhiyuan, I know you don't want to leave this county because your aunt is missing and hasn't returned, and you're afraid that she won't be able to see you when she comes back."

Cai Ji was well aware of Luo Ning's concerns, "Don't worry, I can order the pavilion chief and the stingy man to take my aunt to the county town to find me...I will arrange it myself."

He looked at the dots of grape flowers, "It's always good to be at home, but it's always difficult to go out. You have a field and a house in this village, of course it's hard to leave your homeland."

"But if you don't leave... I will cover you, but there is no reason to guard against thieves for a thousand days. Zhiyuan, I am on official business, so I can't always guard against Xuanqian's tricks."

"By the way, I have been appointed as the magistrate of this county. I will investigate the prisons in nine counties. I will not leave this county easily."

A county magistrate!It is an important position at the seventh rank!
It really is one step to reach the sky, a model of youth inspiration.

Luo Ning thought about it, nodded and smiled wryly, "Xuan Shu, I won't thank you, I will keep it in my heart."

"You're right, right now we brothers and sisters can only leave Tuo County temporarily to avoid Xuanqian's sharp edge."

According to the laws of the Celestial Dynasty, Lingguan is strictly forbidden to leave the jurisdiction to go to other places without authorization.

Xuanqian can come and go freely in the hundreds of miles of Tuo County, but it is difficult to leave the county.As long as my sister leaves Tuo County, it will be difficult for him to make trouble again.

At least for now, Luo Ning must not fight against the city god of a county, and can only retreat.

When he has the strength in the future, he must personally meet that Lord City God and repay him double!
Cai Ji took out a jug of wine from a blue fish bag on his waist, "Come on, we haven't seen each other for a long time, let's have a drink!"

This cyan fish bag is less than three inches, as big as a kit, but there is a space of three feet inside, like a box.

This is the magic weapon of fish bag storage for officials of the Celestial Dynasty.Although the cyan fish bag is the lowest-level fish bag storage magic weapon, it is only available above the seventh rank.

Luo Ning was not surprised.Because Ling Daozhu also has the function of storage space, but he has too little willpower, and he can't use it without opening the spirit vein.

But on the surface, Luo Ning still showed surprise.

Seeing Luo Ning's surprised look, Cai Ji couldn't help but smile.

He poured Luo Ning a glass of wine, "Come on, do it!"

Luo Ning took a sip, and couldn't help admiring: "It's really good wine, full-bodied and sweet, with a long aftertaste, and it feels refreshing after drinking it."

This is of course a fine wine specially provided by the government, and ordinary people can't drink it at all.

Xue Mansion has such wine, and Luo Ning drank it once.

"If you like it, I'll give you a pot." Cai Ji chuckled, and put out some dried meat dishes, all of which were special delicacies.

"Hey, Xuan Shu, you are a dignified person now, and you have enough food and wine. I am very envious." Luo Ning drank two glasses, showing more and more envy.

"Haha!" Cai Ji laughed loudly, "Zhiyuan, you have been in Xue's residence for many days, do you still care about these food and drink?"

Luo Ning said shyly: "Brother Xuan Shu, why bother to make fun of me, I am no longer a son-in-law."

Cai Ji nodded, "Although the son-in-law's dismissal is a big blemish, losing the imperial examination qualifications is not necessarily a bad thing."

"If you can't be a monk, you can always be an ordinary person, right? With me around, you will always be able to keep yourself from being bullied."

After finishing speaking, he took out another piece of writing paper from the fish bag and handed it to Luo Ning: "Zhiyuan, take a look at this."

Luo Ning took it and opened it, his expression gradually became strange.

"...Cai Ji, courtesy name Xuanshu, from Tuo County, Emei. He was able to write at the age of five and poetry at the age of seven..."

"...In the 36th year of Tianqi, Qingyun Luofengye Village was known throughout the county, but no one knew who was the one who experienced it. At that time, Jizheng was caught in the room, and he did not take toys, but only took books. Because of the name, the villagers are different. , thinking that the examiner..."

After reading this article, Luo Ning was speechless.

It turns out that the first meaning of this article: 18 years ago, the auspiciousness of Qingyun landing in Maple Leaf Village was fulfilled in Cai Ji!
What is the auspiciousness when the blue clouds descend?
It is necessary to show Confucianism and Taoism, good ministers and famous ministers!
Since the founding of the Great Xia, wherever the blue clouds have descended, there have been ministers who have supported prime ministers and powerful Confucianism and Taoism.

But the green cloud that landed in Maple Leaf Village that year didn't look like blue, it seemed to be colored.

The villagers were not sure whether it was Qingyun or not.After all, they have never seen Qingyun Xiangrui.

But when Cai Ji became a Jinshi, the villagers said, that should be Qingyun!
If more and more people believe this statement, it will be a great blessing to Cai Ji's merit and reputation!

Even if someone from above came to investigate the authenticity, the villagers would firmly tell the above:
"It's Qingyun! It must have been fulfilled by Cai Ji. Eighteen years ago, he was catching Zhou and caught an ancient book. It happened that Qingyun descended. Who is it?"

After all, 18 years ago, there was indeed a cloud descending on our village. This is an irrefutable fact and cannot be faked.

As for whether it is Qingyun or Caiyun, does that matter?

Then when the public opinion rises, it will be Cai Ji's official luck, which will become the wind for his promotion!
But not many villagers are literate, and even fewer can write articles.

Relying on their word of mouth...too slow!Nor is it systematic.

The second meaning of this article is to list Cai Ji's different deeds from other children in his capacity as Cai Ji's childhood friend.

For example, "When I was nine years old, I burst into tears when I heard the disaster, saying how hard it was for the people, so I wrote "Sorrow for the People".

The Fu "Sorrow for the Living People" does exist, but it was written by Luo Ning's deceased father, and Cai Ji had only read it back then.

Another example: "When I passed Nuo Mountain on the twelfth year of my birth, I heard that tigers and leopards killed people, so I entered the mountain temple and scolded the statue of the god, saying: 'Vegetarian food is incompetent, and it does not protect the people. Why don't you perish!' After that, the mountain god's yin and longevity are exhausted."

What he said was true, as he had seen it with his own eyes.And there is no loophole, because the mountain god really disappeared later.

There are also many examples, perfectly weaving the image of a child prodigy with little ambition, compassion, and compassion for the common people.

At the end of the article, I lamented that Cai Ji's character is noble and pure, and he never forgets his acquaintance with the poor and the humble. He is really a gentleman.

Needless to say, Luo Ning is indeed the most suitable person to write articles to promote these things.

First, he used to be a scholar, and he was also considered a scholar, and his articles were well written.

Second, he and Cai Ji were friends of the general manager, and they were inseparable back then. This is also a fact known to the villagers, and they cannot tell lies.

It is most logical to say these "secret old things" in his tone.

Thirdly, Cai Ji believes that Luo Ning will definitely stand on his side and will not expose these things.

Nothing reassured him more than Luo Ning.Luo Ning has a strict mouth, emotive, kind, and won't say what shouldn't be said.

"I understand." Luo Ning accepted the manuscript, "After leaving Tuo County, I will publicize this all the way."

Cai Ji nodded: "Zhiyuan, you understand my sincerity and my sincerity. It's not that I'm deceitful, but the current officialdom atmosphere, honest people can't do it."

"What does it mean to be an official? In addition to being sensible and standing in the team, you must also be able to manage and create momentum."

Luo Ning knew that he had changed.

Confucian and Taoist officials are hypocritical and deceiving themselves and others. Cai Ji has only been an official for a few days, and the closest Mozhe is black.

He said in his mouth: "Brother Xuanshu, Ice Heart Jade Pot, how could I not know? This is just a means to help you realize your ambition, for the country and the people. Brother Xuanshu's heart is pure and sincere."

"Those who know me will go far!" Cai Ji picked up his wine glass and drank it down in one gulp.

The two looked at each other and smiled, as if everything was in silence.

Finally, Cai Ji took out 50 taels of silver, "These 50 taels of silver are my gift to you."

"I will order to find out about the disappearance of my aunt."

"Thank you, Brother Xuanshu." Luo Ning did not refuse, and immediately accepted Cai Ji's gift.

Cai Ji stood up and said, "I'm leaving Tuo County in a few days to send Quan'er off to marry Uncle Wenchang. As soon as I leave, Xuanqian will definitely come. You brothers and sisters should leave as soon as possible."

After a few words of advice, Cai Ji left Luo's small courtyard.

After sending Cai Ji away, Luo Ning immediately called Li Dingguo, Su Xian, and Luo Li to enter the room to discuss.

……

Although the current Cai family is still a thatched courtyard, the owner is different.

Everyone knows that the Cai family will move out soon, leaving behind an enviable story that has been talked about by the villagers for many years.

The moon has risen.

Cai Ji stood in front of the window, looking at the sky, his eyes sparkled like wildfire.

"He has changed." Cai Ji said suddenly.

A young girl came up behind him, "He has indeed changed, everyone will change. Hasn't my brother changed too?"

Cai Ji was radiant under the moonlight, and his tone was sonorous: "Sister, I didn't go out of Tuo County. But I went to the distant capital Chang'an!"

"A person who has seen Chang'an, how can he not change? Chang'an, that is a fairy city that is more magnificent than a dream."

"It is said that Zhoucheng is the city of heaven, but compared with Chang'an, what is it?"

He pointed at himself, "I am a Jinshi of the new discipline, a seventh-rank Confucianism cultivator, and I am high in the eyes of the common people, but in the eyes of those big shots in Chang'an, I am not a fart!"

"Sister, anyone who goes through all this will change."

"What I can do is to seize every opportunity and climb step by step! Level by level!"

"I want to enter Chang'an, be in the imperial court, and stand against those great figures who rule the world!"

His eyes were frighteningly bright, "What I want is not only glory and wealth, but also the authority to regulate the world!"

"This world... is sick! It's very sick!"

Seeing her brother's distorted expression, Cai Quan'er couldn't help feeling worried, "Brother, those are the affairs of big shots, don't..."

"No!" Cai Ji gritted his teeth, "There are talented people from generation to generation, and each has been in the limelight for hundreds of years! Those big men were once teenagers. If they can, why can't I?!"

"What has become of the world? It's all their fault! They talk about benevolence and morality, but in fact they are thieves and prostitutes. They use it for their own purposes. They become bitches and set up memorial archways!"

"It's them treacherous ministers who misled the Emperor of Heaven and harmed the Heavenly Dynasty!"

Cai Quan'er's face turned pale, "Brother, these words of yours must not reach the ears of those great gentlemen, otherwise my future, my reliance...I'm afraid."

"I know." Cai Ji stroked his sister's hair, "These words are meant to be said in front of you. Don't worry, sister, I have a sense of proportion."

Cai Quan'er didn't want to talk about these things, so she changed the topic and said, "Brother, why didn't you bring Luo Ning with you? You are a new official and lack of confidantes. He just happens to be a clerk, so it can be regarded as a way out for him."

"Not right." Cai Ji shook his head, "After all, you were childhood sweethearts and kept him by your side. If Uncle Wen Chang knew, can you explain clearly?"

"Since you want to avoid suspicion, of course you have to make a difference."

Cai Quan'er smiled, "That's right. He and we are no longer in the same world."

Cai Ji said: "Although I am no longer a member of the same group, I can't forget him. If I don't forget the reputation of my friends who are poor and humble, it will be a good story among scholars and will benefit my career."

"If not, why should I offend Xuanqian just to help his brothers and sisters?"

"By the way. You deliberately ignored him because of the guilt in your heart. In fact, there is no need to."

"If you lose him, you will lose him. If you change your mind, you will change your mind. Why deliberately neglect it? It seems that you can afford it, but you can't let it go. After all, you are an old friend after all, so you can't do it."

"You have a noble status now, why bother with a small person."

Cai Quan'er nodded: "Brother is right, I am not bold enough."

At this moment, Cai Ji pointed to the outside of the courtyard: "The village elder is here, it should be a matter of congratulations."

Sure enough, soon there was a respectful voice outside the courtyard: "Report to Mr. Cai, the theater troupe has been invited, and we will sing for Mr. Cai tomorrow to congratulate him."

Cai Ji said loudly: "Folks in the village, why do you have to do this? If you spread the word, you'll think I'm getting carried away."

The old villager outside the courtyard smiled and said, "Sister-in-law's words are a shame! This is the wish of the elders in the village. Mr. Xianggong is a literary star who comes out once in hundreds of years in this village. You can't celebrate it too much."

"Furthermore, isn't this the arrival of the Spring Society's sacrifices? They were supposed to sing a society opera, so why not join us?"

Cai Ji laughed and said: "You can talk! Then use the name of social drama and sing a big show. Lao Ding, let me say first, this big show is not for me."

"Yes!" The village elder respectfully accepted the order, "It's just, just..."

Cai Ji's voice was low: "Just what?"

The village elder reported: "This theater troupe is from other places. It's a Jianghu troupe. The villain saw that they sing well..."

"It doesn't matter." Cai Ji said, "It's okay to be a Jianghu team, let's go."

"Yes."

.........

In the small courtyard of the Luo family, four people sat around, and a little black dog guarded the door.

"In this way, I was the one who blamed Cai Ji by mistake." Su Xian looked ashamed, "The rumors are so unbelievable!"

Li Dingguo said with a smile: "Since it's a misunderstanding, it's best. Leave and leave, and when there is a chance in the future, then find the city god to settle the score."

Luo Ning nodded, "The night is long and the dream is full, we will leave tomorrow. But if we don't leave this county, we will wander around in the other eight counties."

"Second brother and third brother, I am going to form a troupe, called the Luo family troupe, what are your plans?"

Su Xian said: "What else are you going to do? Of course, I will go to the rivers and lakes with my elder brother."

"Me too." Li Dingguo also expressed his opinion.

Both of them knew that Luo Ning was very skilled in the art of acting, and if they sang together, they might have the opportunity to learn the secret art.

Luo Ning laughed happily: "Okay! The two brothers are members of Luo's class."

"What? Luo Family Class?" Luo Li was stunned, "Brother, you don't study for the imperial examination anymore?"

Luo Ning shook his head: "What about the imperial examination? Li'er, I forgot to tell you that not only am I no longer the son-in-law of the Xue family, but I have also been dismissed as a scholar. Next, I will start a theater troupe."

The scholar was punished!Playing troupe!

Hearing this, Luo Li's small face with pink make-up and jade was about to cry.

Brother, you really stand up for me... Really angry, huh...

　All kinds of requests, woo woo!
