Dao Fruit

Looking at the article in front of him, Fang Ziyan was stunned.

At this moment, his eye sockets were sunken, skinny and boneless, and his eyes were dull.

In just three days, Fang Ziyan had nightmares every day, dreaming that he had become an incompetent person, and the people who used to flatter him had all changed their faces, and they were sarcastic and sarcastic. The humiliation made him feel heartbroken and in a trance.

The book boy kept mumbling beside him: "Sir, I just asked around, and many people are saying that you were defeated by Qiu Yan's article. This situation is not good. Keep going, Damn your reputation!"

He had said this many times, but Fang Ziyan never responded.

After saying it a few more times, he sighed and the book boy tidied up the desk and was about to leave. But suddenly he thought of something and said again: "Qiu Yan is going back to his hometown today. Many people are going to see him off. OK? It's such a big battle, it's really infuriating, that Qiu Yan..."

As soon as he was halfway through speaking, he was interrupted by a hoarse voice——

"Qiu Yan is leaving?"

Fang Ziyan raised his head and his eyes regained their luster.

When the book boy saw this, he was overjoyed and said quickly: "Yes, that Qiu Yan wrote an article to insult you and then left like this. It's really infuriating. Should we find some people to go over and make him look embarrassed in public?"

Fang Ziyan was stunned for a moment, then shook his head and smiled bitterly: "Let him make a fool of himself? How to make a fool of himself? The previous arrangements were of no use, and now..." He stopped talking and just shook his head.

At this moment, there was a sudden knock on the door.

"Who?" the book boy asked.

"Master Fang, before Qiu Jieyuan left, he left something for you and asked us to deliver it!"

"Qiu Jieyuan? It's that Qiu Yan!" Upon hearing this name, the book boy's expression changed, "He wants to humiliate my young master? Go! Go! Go! We don't want his things!"

But Fang Ziyan interrupted the book boy's words——

"Let them in."

"Master?" The book boy looked puzzled.

"Go, open the door!"

"Yes..." In desperation. The book boy had no choice but to open the door and took an article from the hands of someone outside. The words in the article were full of words and the charm was hidden. At first glance, it was written by Qiu Yan.

After putting the text on the table, Fang Ziyan read it attentively. He noticed the word "encouraging learning" at the beginning, and his pupils shrank. Then he read all the way down and felt an inexplicable meaning from it. Penetrating into my heart, I looked at the volumes of scriptures on the table, and felt a faint sense of isolation and alienation.

His eyes swept back and forth between the scroll and the two articles. Fang Ziyan thought of the nightmare of the recent night. He sighed and ordered the book boy: "Have someone frame these two articles, take them back to Yuanning, and hang them in my study."

"What did you say? Frame it? This was written by Qiu Yan to insult you. Qiu Yan had evil intentions..."

"Stop talking about this." Fang Ziyan still shook his head. After urging, he sat back on the chair, took a book, and opened it.

………………

"That calligraphy is not simple. It contains a lot of mysteries. It cooperates with "Encouragement to Learn" and is often observed and imitated. It is of great benefit to one's studies and one's character. How dare you give it away so generously?"

In the moving carriage, Qiu Yan sat upright and flipped through the book in his hand. Little Zheng Yun was lying in a corner sleeping soundly, while the eight-character ancient seal script was hovering in the air, and fluctuations of thoughts were coming from time to time——

"I guessed what Fang Ziyan did from other people's comments. It's his own fault to end up like this. But you sent such an article. Do you want to guide the rescue?"

Hearing this, Qiu Yan put down his book, looked up at the ancient seal script, shook his head and said: "Character and state of mind are personal matters. Only when a person knows himself can he behave in the world. How can others save him? The grudge between me and Fang Ziyan is in this world. The story ended in "Injury to Zhongyong", but if he could understand his shame and then be brave, he might be able to perform a wonderful humane performance."

The eight-character ancient seal script was still puzzled. After thinking for a while, he suddenly said: "Do you really want to leave an allusion to the world about 'two books to encourage learning'?"

Qiu Yan said, "You were born at the tip of a sage's pen, so you know the meaning of this sentence——"

"One cannot be judged as a gentleman by a moment of praise; a man cannot be judged as a villain by a moment of slander."

"Isn't it easy to understand?" The eight-character ancient seal script was puzzled.

"That's right," Qiu Yan nodded. "Everything in the world sounds easy." After saying this, he laughed. "My entry into the world is not to mess with humanity, but to understand humanity." After saying this, he He no longer paid attention to the ancient seal script and concentrated on reading the book in his hand.

Halfway through the journey, the carriage met Liu Huai's family waiting halfway.

Because the Swamp people were crossing the border, southern Xinjiang was in danger. Qiu Yan asked the Zhang family to take Liu Huai's family to the north of Jiannan Road and settle down in a manor of the Zhang family.

The day before yesterday, the lone army led by Feng Xin was also besieged, most of them were wiped out, and they were driven out of the Jiannan territory. It happened that Qiu Yan had paid homage to his master and was about to return to his hometown, so he asked the Zhang family to pick up Liu Huai and others and meet him halfway. .

According to custom, when a scholar is elected, he should celebrate in his hometown. What's more, Qiu Yan is still the leader of the Yuan Dynasty. Even Wen Anguo, the prefect of Yuanning, specially sent people to Jiannan City to congratulate him. Therefore, Liu Huai couldn't stop praising Qiu Yan when he saw him. , his face turned red with excitement, as if he was the one who had been successful.

On the road that followed, Liu Huai kept talking about his late sister, Qiu Yan's biological mother, and occasionally talked about Qiu Zonglin, but the original resentment was gone from his words.

"Qiu Zonglin has wanted to be a civil servant all his life, but he failed. Now that you have won the exam, you have fulfilled his wish. Take a day to burn incense and let them know."

Liu Huai drank some wine in the car, muttered and fell asleep.

Then, Liu Yue and Qiu Yan started chatting again.

This cousin seemed a little reserved in front of Qiu Yan. After talking for a few words, he thought of something and couldn't help asking: "I heard that when the Swamp People invaded this time, you, my cousin, offered advice to the court. I wonder if it's true or not?"

Qiu Yan didn't intend to hide it, so he replied: "I just wrote a few words to test the waters. It's not the pen, but the gun that really puts down the war."

"Is it true? It's amazing!" Liu Yue was amazed, "It's better to study. I can only recognize a few big characters and can't even calculate the accounts. But my cousin, you passed the imperial examination and became a master. Your future is limitless. People in Zhangjiazhuang said that you are the reincarnation of Wenquxing and you are going to be a high official..."

He hesitated. Finally, he said, "If my child is going to school in the future, can you spare some time to help teach him, if..."

"What's there to say? It's my duty." Qiu Yan agreed with a smile, feeling that the karma of kinship on him was gradually loosening.

After meeting Liu Huai's family this time, the karma of kinship trembled faintly, which made Qiu Yan understand and understand the future of this karma.

The carriage moved forward and arrived at Yuanning Prefecture in the evening.

Outside the prefecture city. There were already many people standing, led by the prefect's staff Sun Xingming and the second young master Pan Xiang of the Pan Mansion.

The news that Qiu Yan passed the imperial examination and won the first place had already spread to Yuanning Prefecture, attracting attention from all levels. Recently, the war disaster of the marsh people subsided, and the whole story of this matter gradually surfaced. It was not a secret that Qiu Yan was praised by the emperor. There was a set of channels for the spread of information in the officialdom. Let everyone know that Wen Anguo had heard about it.

In this way, Qiu Yan's matter was no longer a trivial matter. He returned by car this time. Yuanning Prefecture received the news immediately and sent Sun Xingming out of the city to welcome him!

This is not a low treatment. When Ma Yang went to Qingchang, the Qingchang County Magistrate was just like this.

Of course. Now Qiu Yan is far inferior to Ma Yang in terms of popularity and status. The reason why he can get such treatment is mainly due to fate and many parties.

However, this scene was extremely shocking in the eyes of Liu Huai and others. Since Liu Huai left Yuanning, he has not returned once in two years. Now that he has returned with Qiu Yan, he can't help but be excited to see such a scene.

"Shenzhi, you made me wait so long."

As soon as he saw the carriage coming, Sun Xingming stepped forward a few steps, and Qiu Yan got off the car and greeted him. The two reminisced about the past, and the crowd outside the city couldn't help but talk about it.

Suddenly, the rolling people's wishes came and wrapped Qiu Yan in it, penetrating his skin and bones, causing the living soul to rise greatly, and the human soul, earth soul, and heaven soul faintly vibrated.

"Hmm?" Qiu Yan couldn't help but feel moved.

At this time, Pan Xiang also came up and called him "brother".

Compared with more than a month ago, the commander of the three prefectures has not changed much, but his face is much paler, his eyes are full of bloodshot, and he looks haggard.

This time he plotted against the Swamp People, but in the end he was tricked and suffered heavy losses. Not only did he fail to establish prestige and reputation, but he also lost the trust of his superiors. It is said that he will be dismissed soon. All these things made him sleepless and haggard.

However, since he knew Qiu Yan's military strategy, thinking of the relationship between his family and Qiu Yan, Pan Xiang had an idea, so he condescended to come to greet him.

After talking to Qiu Yan for a few words, Pan Xiang saluted Liu Huai again.

This time, Liu Huai was shocked. The old man had been a manager in Pan's house for many years, so he naturally recognized Pan Xiang. In the past, he saluted Pan Xiang carefully, but now it was suddenly reversed. Such a big change made Liu Huai uneasy for a while.

Turning his eyes, Liu Huai saw several familiar faces in the crowd, including colleagues from the Pan Mansion and his own neighbors. When he was dismissed by the Pan Mansion, everyone said that his life was over and laughed at him. But now, when he saw them again, everyone's face was full of awe, fear and envy.

Who knew that there would be a day of good fortune?

Liu Huai certainly knew what these changes were caused by.

"Yan'er, you said that day that one day, you would let me come back in glory. I thought you were just comforting me at that time, but I didn't expect that it would come true not long after..."

As these words were spoken, Qiu Yan suddenly felt that the cause and effect of kinship was changing, and part of it quickly disintegrated and dispersed, making his whole life feel light and fluttery, his mind was clear, and the three souls of life showed signs of gathering!

Then, his mind was shocked and his perception expanded rapidly!

In an instant, the emotions of the people around him were all exposed, jealousy, envy, respect, worship...

One by one, as clear as torches in the dark night!

The perception was still expanding, and soon it was a hundred feet away, covering the surrounding woods.

Suddenly!

Killing intent!

In Qiu Yan's perception, two surging killing intents appeared!

Condensed! Exploded! Hidden but not released!

It was aimed at him! (To be continued, please search Piaotian Literature, the novel is better and updated faster!
