Chapter 146 – Death when posthumous Wenzheng

Female crown Xu Hui Puff walking in the tea mountain trail, finally out of the old ancestor’s field of vision, stood in the tea bushes, looking at the newspaper temple a heavy eaves resting on the mountain top of the yellow glazed tile pavilion, staring blankly in a daze. In addition to biting through the blood of the lips, the face can not see too much mourning. She did not hate the old ancestor’s arrangement, only hated that year that the green-shirted swordsman’s indisputable. She was dedicated to cultivation, and resided in her face, looking like a plump young woman in her thirties, but in fact she was close to forty, when she first met him, she was only thirteen, how many thirteen can there be in life? She reached out and wiped away the blood, her face grim as she walked down the hill.

Xu Hui pounces but do not know the depths of the shade of the trees, a battle sword green shirt has been a look for many years, see her walk into the newspaper temple, he slowly stepped to the bamboo building, the old man and the cat is still there, such as snowballs, such as the general lion cat screamed, snoozing the old Yangzhou provider slightly strained to raise his eyelids, looking at the eyes of this year, when the Lu’s carefully carved diamond juniors, this swordsman was once how the intention of the wind, if it is not unable to pass the pass, no matter whether it is to enter the civil service Or the sword path, any road, will go far, the old man calmed the frightened lion cat on his lap, wrinkled his white eyebrows, and asked flatly, “All heard?”

Tongxi Sword Immortal Lu Baijie nodded. Eyes clear and cold, he looked at this old man, one finger always resting on the scabbard, it seemed that the ancient sword Ba Xiu might come out of its sheath at any time. With the attainments of Lu Baijie’s Deng Jian Ping, the sword naturally came out extremely fast, originally there was no need to deliberately show so, this was of course Lu Baijie making a statement, if the old man didn’t take back his words with Xu Hui Pou, he didn’t mind another treacherous move in the capacity of Tongxi Sword Immortal rather than Lu Clan’s son and daughter. So what if you are the old master of the Jiangxin Yu Clan, I, Lu Baijie, have a sword in my hand and a clear conscience, so why should I care?

In the Jiangnan scholar group seniority to the old can’t be old again, the old worship Yu Jiankang eyelids trembled, a hand is no longer stroking the snow-white lion cat, but five fingers in the shape of a hooked claw holding the pet’s head, just did not force, instinctively feel some discomfort lion cat seems to not understand, turned his head, the dynasty a few are expected to die after the posthumously earned posthumous title “Wen Zhong” Yu Jiankang, the few who are expected to die after the posthumous title “Wen Zhong”. “Yu Jiankang suddenly smiled to himself, as for the posthumous title Wenzheng, which is higher than Wenzhong, the dynasty has been left vacant for one hundred and twenty years, even he does not have the luxury of hope. The old man just once again looked toward the distant green hills, Jiangnan more mountains and water, always look not tired, light speech even rare compromise meaning, softly said: “Tongxi, you know that year I intended to do Lu’s head of the family by you, Lu Daolin is also willing.”

Lu Baijie very nonchalantly interrupted, “I am not willing.”

Old Provider Yu Jian frowned, “You are unwilling to marry Yu’s Pearl, unwilling to be the Lu Clan’s family head, unwilling to recommend for an appointment to the civil service, unwilling to be a general by grace and shade, as a son of the Lu Clan, Tong Xi, do you know that there are too many unorthodox unwillingnesses on your part. If you weren’t so casual and idle, why would the Lu Clan even have the Bo Euryong Yuan Clan coming up later and overpowering you?”

Lu Baijie was silent, his fingers no longer wiped on the scabbard, the old provider sighed and stretched out his hand, gesturing for this junior who was once highly valued by him to sit on a stool, after Lu Baijie sat down, Yu Jiankang who had specially traveled from Jiangxin County to report to the Temple of the State of the Union today laughed, “It is a pity that it is not my Yu Clan’s children and grandchildren, those descendants of mine at home, who are calm and stable, but lacking in sharpness, can only hold on to the successes and are very difficult to rise to the top of the middle class. They don’t dare to call us old men old and undead, even if they have grievances, they don’t even dare to curse in their stomachs. At a young age, they all have an odorless twilight spirit. Tongxi, do you know why I’m making things difficult for such a woman as Xu Hui Pui.”

Sword Immortal Tangxi shook his head.

The old provider cupped the lion cat with both hands and lamented, “Where is she worthy of you.”

Lu Baijie smiled bitterly, “But I just can’t let go of her.”

The old man coldly grunted: “Your father got a son in his old age, he doted on you, and before he died, he even left a letter to me and Xu Yinsheng, disregarding the clan rule of setting up the elders but not the young, he did not hesitate to hand over some of his family’s assets, and took the risk of inviting wolves into the house to beg for us to come to help you become the head of the Lu Clan, do you really think that Lu Daolin doesn’t know about this secret? I can’t say it, but Xu Yin Sheng revealed it to him a long time ago. These years Gumou borrowed Lu’s potential to secretly grow, the wolf has been into the room, you let your father disappointed, Lu Daolin is a good person is not false, but how can with the Gumou Xu’s group of sinister villain to take advantage of the far not to say, you Lu’s mixed into the Xu Shufei things, Zhao Empress cold eyes, can be remembered in the heart, really think that the Empress of Zhao will be with that Xu family women love like sisters? This time that the Northern Liang son of a storm, Jiangnan Road scholar group of anger, the capital of 30,000 students were instigated by the State Prison, your brother in the State Prison can still be safe and sound? Unexpectedly, inside and outside are not allowed to do people Lu Daolin will have to take the blame and resign from the right priest, and your brother fought for a number of years Huanji natural happy to push the boat, Lu’s setback in the capital, in the end is not the loss of my Yangzhou? If not, I have a foot in the coffin of the old immortal to come here for what? To listen to that boring king’s difference? Or do I want to be threatened by your sword?”

Tongxi Sword Immortal said flatly, “Saying this to me, isn’t uncle afraid of talking to a cow?”

I don’t know whether it was because he was angry at his misfortunes or he mourned his lack of fight, but the old provider was vaguely furious and raised his voice, “Tangxi, I can not let Xu Hui Pou do that, but you must come out to share Lu’s worries this time. Otherwise, with my temper, Gumou Xu’s hands and feet over the years, let an insignificant Xu Hui Pou to disgrace, just to give them a reminder. Tongxi, I ask you one last time, are you willing to go to the capital to do the military department minister, you and no matter how can do this fourth grade Beijing official, I only ask you are willing or not!”

Lu Baijie said bitterly, “I only beg uncle not to let anyone make things difficult for her.”

The old provider smiled faintly, resuming his idle normality of cloudiness, and said in a pleasant manner, “Tangxi, ah Tangxi, the authorities are obsessed, if you are willing to go out, who dares to be upset with her?”

Lu Baijie shook his head and said, “Even the daughter of the King of Northern Liang has people who dare to bully her like this, she is just the outcast of the Gumou Xu Clan, how can she put my mind at ease.”

The old man said flatly, “Alright, I can make an agreement with you that if you go to the capital, she will ultimately be the nominal granddaughter-in-law of the Yu Clan, and no one can bully her.”

Tongxi Sword Immortal Lu Baijie stood up and bowed before calmly leaving.

The old man narrowed his eyes and leaned back in his chair, his mind puzzling people.

A pair of masters and servants walked out of the bamboo building, and they were clearly the fan-wielding male and the green-shirted swordsman who had seen the domineering behavior of the Northern Liang Light Cavalry in the restaurant. The suave gentleman changed an ivory bone fan with three very different beauties painted on the fan, squatted next to the old worshiper Yu Jiankang, reached out to touch the lion cat, looked up and laughed: “Old Ancestor, why do you need to bother to let the Tongxi Sword Immortal out of the civil service, the base of the Lu Clan is not much worse than that of our Yu Clan, ah? One Lu Daolin is not enough to fear, but with this one, it’s hard to say. Boring Yuan and Gumou Xu can enter the old ancestor’s eyes, but once the Lu family has Tongxi Jianxian, as long as a little bit to earn some military service, really be a real minister of war, and then wait for another seven or eight years, with the support of the Lu family, it is not difficult to take charge of a department, compared to a Xu Shufei, the weight of the weight of the ah.”

The old provider laughed: “Xu Shufei counts for what, to tell you the truth, no matter who the woman, into the palace, are not Queen Zhao’s rivals. Today’s way to take the path of the relatives, is the most stupid method, Gumou Xu’s unbelief, short-sighted, sooner or later to cause trouble. But the dynasty of military and political road, but there is a big picture, we Jiangnan Road readers are not lacking, only the lack of Lu Baijie this can immediately build the character, regardless of long-term or public and private, I will let him into the Ministry of the Army, as for Lu Baijie can Xu crippled, Gu Jiantang and a few big feudal lords three-legged tripod in the cracks, have to take a step to see a step, Lu Baijie’s temperament, at most, to do the general, do not do the military minister, but can let the Lu’s in his distraction distraction, but also to let the military minister. Lu’s distraction on him, can let Lu Xu two families have a gap, can let these years ambition rampant and Lu’s friction constantly Euryong Yuan fish in the throat, but also can let Lu’s think of our Yu’s favor, you calculate, a move several can be achieved?”

The young man pinched the handle of his fan with both fingers and smiled, “Four gains.”

After a little thought, the young handsome male son snapped the fan open and carefully said, “Old ancestor, after all, the Xu and Lu families are in-laws, and with the Tangxi Sword Immortal in charge of the military in the future, it seems that it will also make the imperial court more fearful of Northern Liang.”

The old man comfortably said, “This is only half gained and half lost, it is not good to say, Xu Cripple and Lu Baijie’s character is naturally incompatible, his majesty may not be able to see it, even if his majesty can not see it, Empress Zhao is to see it clearly, under the sky, gateway marriage, the only ones that are firm are the clans that are like ours that read and read out of the book, the district will be seeded, can not be deduced by common sense, not to mention the crippled Xu. Xu Lu two families in fact, in the bones of who are looking down on who. But you can see that, it’s considered good.”

The young male laughed and opened his fan, but he fanned up a burst of coolness for the old ancestor and the lion cat.

The old man softly said, “Although I scolded that guy is Xu cripple, but in the end is the destruction of the eight countries nearly half of the young and strong human slaughter devil, is even the spring and autumn justice are trampled all over, is not you children can go to randomly provoke. Therefore the tavern on the small fight, you do not think about how to go out of anger, a bad, is to lead to fire. Xu cripple’s protection, you children, have no personal experience, I do not care how you do not understand now, as long as you remember these words on the line. The official small officials drag the word trick, can let the Shangshu generals have a headache, put on your body, you have to learn to wait for the word trick, young is a good thing, can wait. Zhang Julu or Gu Jiantang, can have today’s achievements, are waiting out.”

The male son nodded, not daring to take the old ancestor’s advice lightly. Although it was a bit of a pity that he could not immediately trip up on that Bei Liang Shi Zi, but since even the old ancestor said to wait, he was just a common son of the Yu Clan, so of course he did not dare to disobey, and he was also more able to appreciate the importance of patience.

At this time, Xu Fengyen only brought Wangfei Jing’an to walk around in the Zhinguo Temple, walking and walking to the outside of the temple wall root of the Wolong Pine, there is shade and a clear spring, Xu Fengyen sat on a stone on the edge of the spring, in the scorching heat is particularly cozy. Today, there is an unprecedented debate of the king and the king of the temple, the general incense has not been able to enter the temple to burn incense and worship the Buddha, the temple a few monks at the entrance to the gate, in addition to familiar faces, the general public to hand out the name of the prick, the identity of the sufficient, to enter the interior.

Xu Fengyen saw a poor scholar wandering outside the temple for a long time, the sun is poisonous, soon a sweat, it is estimated to be the wall spring this side of the Xu Fengyen brocade clothes, but also a charming “maid” waiting, he did not dare to go up to the cool, in the Jiangnan Road, the descendants of the family even with the poorer children to sit together as a great shame, the scholar! Of course, the scholar did not dare to make life difficult for himself, but really can not survive the scorching sun, hesitated for half a day, and finally came to the farthest place from Xu Fengyen at the spring squatting, cupped a handful of water on the face, comfortable to the extreme, and let out a long breath. After squatting for a while, seeing that Xu Fengyen did not make a sound, he carefully sat down, wiped his water-stained hands on his sleeves, took out a book from his pocket, and recited silently.

Xu Fengyen glanced at the afterglow, actually not the common books in Jiangnan, but the North Liang side of the dynasty of great Confucian Yao Baifeng’s “four scriptures chapters and verses collection of notes”, look at the lips of this scribe, even more interesting, simply deviate from the scriptures to the extreme.

“Mr. Yao interpretation of the scriptures, according to a moment of insight, may not be the saint’s original purpose, more than negotiation.”

“The words are too high, but play too much of their own intentions, overflowing the original scriptures, there is the suspicion of wanting to be higher than the saints, so that the emptiness of the empty and no real, not the orthodoxy of the interpretation of the scriptures.”

“But compared to the meticulousness of the academy’s Jumon science, there are still many lovely places, less constrained, more understanding.”

Xu Fengnian observed the scholar’s lips and found it very interesting. Especially when the shabby scholar closed the books and said “my generation of students died when posthumous Wenzheng”, can not help but laugh out loud, the scholar startled, hand shaking, “four scriptures chapters and verses collection of notes” fell into the water, the scholar busy jumping into the water, see the wet confused into a ball of textbooks, heartbroken face bitter, climbed onto the shore after the soul, this soaked! The soaked books even if a page is torn off the sun, it is estimated that the loss of half, a time there sighing.

Xu Fengnian joked: “A book worth a few dollars?”

The scholar did not raise his head and said, “This book is indeed not worth a few dollars, but if I read it, I will be able to read out some money.”

Xu Fengnian tsked, “Reading poetry and books sells the emperor, that’s what I said, but you can’t even enter the Temple of the Annunciation, who cares about you?”

The poor scholar laughed, lowered his head and said to himself, “Who said I want to sell to the emperor’s family? The sages clouded cultivate oneself, align the family, rule the country, and pacify the world, alone there is no such thing as getting rid of the king’s business.”

Xu Fengyen bent down and picked up a chilled watermelon from the spring, reached out and knocked it, just knocked it into two, smiled and said, “Eat it or not?”

The scholar looked up with a puzzled face.

Xu Fengnian laughed, “Don’t dare?”

The scholar was silent, just frowning.

Xu Fengyen simply half of the watermelon gently thrown over, the scholar’s hands were busy to catch, see Xu Fengyen buried his head and chewed, only then lowered his head and ate a bite, cooled through the heart and lungs.

Xu Fengyen snickered, “Dead when posthumous Wenzheng, good big ambition.”

The scholar paused for a moment, this time it was really a cold heart and lungs.
