Happy Little Scholar

In Ruyifang, Dong Zhifu sat on a chair and sipped tea leisurely. The man in brocade clothes walked around in the shop, never moving his eyes away from the calligraphy and paintings on the wall. Tianlai Xiao 『Say

Several guards stood at the door, looking at the young man in the room from time to time, their eyes full of surprise.

Professor Feng was not too surprised. Although Li Yi had a bad temper, his talent was real. No one could deny that Lord Yan had won the plaque this time.

The man in brocade clothes turned around, and kept making surprised sounds.

These paintings were strange and different. He had never seen such a painting method in his life, but what shocked him was the various poems on the paintings.

Good words. The person who wrote poems on them was definitely a master of calligraphy. If he was not very familiar with the handwriting of the few famous calligraphers in Jingguo, he would definitely think that the other party was one of them.

"Young man, is this calligraphy and painting really from your hand?" The man in brocade clothes still didn't believe that the master he wanted to visit just now was such a young man, and asked Li Yi.

Li Yi bowed and said, "I have nothing to do, so I just write and draw casually. I'm sorry to make you laugh."

Just now, the prefect Dong had introduced that the person in front of him was a senior official from the capital. Although he didn't know his position, he was definitely much older than a small county lieutenant, so he had to be polite.

"I have nothing to do, so I just write and draw casually..."

The man in brocade clothes blushed on his face. He had been studying this for more than 20 years, but he was not as good as a young man who wrote and drew casually... In front of old friends, this old face was a little embarrassed.

Originally, I thought that if there was really an unknown master hiding in Qing'an Prefecture, I would definitely not miss this opportunity. I would prepare gifts and visit him. After receiving some teachings, maybe the difficulties that had trapped me for several years would be broken. However, the master was replaced by a young junior, so it was naturally not so easy to ask for advice.

Seeing the tangled look on his face, Dong Zhifu laughed in his heart and said, "If I remember correctly, Brother Yan seemed to have said just now that if the words on the plaque were really written by Li Xianwei, he should eat it. I wonder if Minister Yan's words still count?"

"Of course it counts." The man in brocade clothes snorted coldly and said, "Yan has always kept his word. How can he not keep his word?"

"Guo Jiang, take down the plaque. I will use it to drink when I go back today!" He walked to the door and ordered a guard.

The guard was not vague either. He jumped up and tapped the wall twice. The whole person climbed onto the plaque. In a few seconds, he took down the plaque with "Ruyifang" written on it and jumped to the ground with the plaque in his arms.

The action of taking down the plaque was done in one go, naturally and smoothly. It was obviously not the first time he had done such a thing.

Professor Feng couldn't close his jaw after seeing this scene. Prefect Dong rubbed his eyebrows helplessly. With his temper, he should have known it earlier, should have known it earlier...

In the past, he had taken down so many plaques of people in Beijing that people who invited the master to write inscriptions would take down their plaques and hide them at night to prevent them from being stolen at night...

I'm afraid he had been planning to take this plaque from the beginning.

Prefect Dong sighed to the sky. If he had known, he would have taken the initiative and would not have let this guy get away with it. You know, he had also set his eyes on this plaque a long time ago...

As for asking Li Yi to write an inscription, with his status, he couldn't open his mouth.

"It's rare to have a good dish to go with wine today. Brother Wen Yun will drink tea slowly by himself. I'll go first!" The man in brocade clothes laughed twice and strode out.

"In broad daylight, openly stealing, Yan, do you still have the face?" Prefect Dong said loudly in the house.

"Haha, how can the scholar's work be described as "stealing"?" The voice of the man in brocade clothes came over with wild laughter.

The guard holding the plaque followed closely behind the man in brocade clothes, and disappeared in the crowd in Li Yi's astonished eyes.

He said to tear down the plaque and didn't even ask the owner's opinion. Isn't this too straightforward?

He also said that he was a superior from Kyoto, and all the officials in Kyoto were like this?

"Haha, he is just like this. He loves words and has been obsessed with tearing down countless plaques in his life. I'm afraid this plaque will never be returned to him." Dong Zhifu stood up and said helplessly: "I will compensate you for the loss here."

What else can Li Yi say? From the emperor and princess to the officials and clerks in Jingguo, how come they are all like this, like to take other people's things for free? If you take the plaque, take it away. At the very least, you should also show some appreciation, right?

What Li Yi wanted soon came true. A man walked in, put a piece of paper on the table, and said, "This is my master's name card. If you go to the capital, you can use this name card to find him at Yan's house."

Li Yi initially thought it was a silver note. He looked at it over and over for a while, and found that there was nothing on the paper except the word "Yan". Is this the so-called name card?

There is not even a complete name. It is extremely sloppy. Although the boss did not charge money when the plaque was made, it would not be exchanged for such a useless piece of paper.

He threw the paper on the table casually. The plaque was snatched away by that guy. It seems that it will not be returned. When Ruyifang reopens in a while, he will have to order another one...

Professor Feng looked at Li Yi's disapproval of Master Yan's name card and reminded him: "Don't underestimate this name card. Master Yan worships the Minister of the Ministry of Civil Affairs. The appointment, dismissal, examination, promotion, and transfer of civil servants all over the world are all done by the Ministry of Civil Affairs." Being responsible for your department and making friends with Mr. Yan will not harm your future promotion."

Li Yi didn't know the background of the man in brocade, but Professor Feng knew it all too well. The Yan family was considered a wealthy family in Jingguo. Many members of the family held high positions and were trusted by His Majesty. They had good relations with the Yan family and were successful in their official careers. It will definitely be much smoother.

Although the two people once disliked each other, what Professor Feng couldn't stand was just his lack of ambition. This is the professional quality of a professor of government studies and there is no personal grudge. This kind reminder is just to hope that he The right path is to get rid of the bad habits of the past, work hard to gain fame, and serve the country as soon as possible.

Li Yi also didn't expect Professor Feng to say this to him. Seeing his sincere tone, he was slightly moved in his heart. Although the two of them had different tempers, it was undeniable that this was a true gentleman. He put it away, bowed to him with a solemn expression, and said, "Student, remember."

"A boy can be taught." Seeing his current changes, Professor Feng's expression softened greatly and he said with satisfaction.

He also guided a young man with unlimited potential from the wrong path to the right path, which gave him a full sense of accomplishment.

This was the young man with the most outstanding talent and ability he had ever seen. Professor Feng really didn't want him to live a mediocre life, so he spoke again: "With your talent, being a small county captain is really an incompetence. I also have many talents in Beijing." My dear friend, I can write you a few letters of recommendation. If you go and walk around, plus Mr. Yan’s relationship, if we jointly recommend to His Majesty, a county magistrate will be indispensable. As long as you work diligently and make some political achievements. , It is very likely that he will be transferred to Kyoto in ten years, and it is not impossible to be in the imperial court within twenty years. "

Professor Feng's saliva flew everywhere as he spoke, as if there was blood in his chest that was about to boil.

"Ahem, thank you Professor Feng, but the student is still seriously injured. Let's talk about this later..." Li Yi covered his chest and coughed a few times, saying with an embarrassed look.

"Let's talk about it in the future. Why are you, a young man, so ignorant..." Professor Feng frowned and acted like he was admonishing, "We, the scholars, should take it as our duty to serve the country..."

Li Yi rubbed his swollen head. This old man is here again...
