Chapter 27 That scholar is extraordinary
After getting off the boat, the carriage prepared by He Zhenqing had been waiting for a long time, and the three of them got on the frame. Then they saw that He Zhenqing looked at the young man with a knife in a Confucian shirt on the dock, and then asked, "Second brother, who is that young man?"
Ershu heard the question and couldn't help but smile and replied: "That scholar is extraordinary. He reads the poems and books of sages, but he can kill people with his hands. It's rare in the world."
Sanpang also said, "This young man is from Xujia Town. Brother He has always heard of Xujia Town in recent days. People who are both literary and martial, seem to be old and unconventional. They are wonderful people."
"Xujia Town?" He Zhenqing pondered for a moment after hearing this, and then said, "My baby daughter must have bullied him. Recently, she has become more and more excited in her martial arts practice. This kid is afraid that he will suffer."
After He Zhenqing finished speaking, he smiled slightly, but he didn't think anything was wrong.
Sanpang smiled slightly when he heard this, "Brother He, I don't know who bullies who. This kid can even eat Ershou so hard. Your daughter is afraid that she can't beat others."
Ershu heard this and his face darkened, and he said, "No, this guy hasn't grown all his hair. How could he eat me so hard? If I want to beat him up, he would look for teeth all over the ground, cry and kneel down and beg for mercy."
He Zhenqing saw Ershou’s expression, and looked at Sanpang again, and had already believed Sanpang’s words, and said, “It seems that it’s better to go back and persuade Yue’er. There are talents in the martial arts generation, and the new generation of people should make their mark again.”
What He Zhenqing said was that Xu Jie was a new generation of masters in the world. However, Sanpang shook his head and said, "No, this scholar is not a man from the world. He is determined to take the imperial examination and become the high official."
He Zhenqing was stunned when he heard this. At first, he thought that the word "scholar" was just a nickname. At this moment, he thought about Xu Jie's dressing, but he didn't want to be a scholar. He just said, "It's better to be an official than to go to the world. But my daughter likes to go to the world. It would be great if she wanted to marry a literary talent. But she didn't look down on the literary and literary appearance. She didn't listen to her advice, and she was really worried."
He Zhenqing's words are naturally a love for his daughter. He Zhenqing has seen too many things in the world. How many people who are rising today will be different in a few days. For his daughter, it is best to have a talented man and a beautiful woman.
Unexpectedly, Ersou was displeased when he heard this and said, "He Zhenqing, literati are really hypocritical. What's the best thing to marry literati? Most people in the martial arts world have true nature. It's best to marry mercy people, so they don't have the bird energy of those hypocritical people."
Sanpang also said, "Brother He, who told you to give birth to such a daughter. If you give birth to a son, you will not worry about anything. If you give birth to nothing like my brothers, you will not worry about it."
He Zhenqing was too lazy to answer again after hearing this. Even though he knew the temperament of these two people and said some serious things to them, it would be boring for him. However, He Zhenqing was not angry, and the smile on his face seemed relaxed and sincere.
Xu Xiucai also got ashore, and he was not as good as a car to pick him up and drop him off. Behind him, some carrying bags and some carrying boxes, walked towards the city.
Dajiang County City was a battleground in ancient times, guarding the edge of the Dajiang waterway. Dajiang divided the Daxia Dynasty north and south, and this place was a dangerous wartime place. Now it is peaceful, and it is a place of wealth. When the waterways come and go, you have to pass by here. The crowd brings wealth.
The city is extremely large, with high walls and gray walls and towering towers. There are as many as 200,000 to 300,000 in the city, and there are countless business travelers who come and go from south to north.
The buildings in the city are somewhat similar to the misty and rainy style of the south of the Yangtze River, but also have the square feeling of the north. This city has been connected to the north and south since ancient times, and has also had a unique flavor.
There are many shops in the city, with flying corners of buildings, red walls and green tiles, blue gray and white. You can see the center of the city from afar, and there are tall buildings with curved eaves and tiles soaring into the sky. It is extraordinary.
Many young men in the countryside felt that they were too busy to see each other and looked around.
Only Xu Jie was not so surprised, but he had to take care of everyone among the crowds on this street so that anyone could get lost. Losing people in Qingshan County is nothing, but losing friends in Dajiang County is a big trouble.
Xu Hu was carrying a box with a look of alertness and worry, and Xu Gou'er followed Xu Hu, unaware of it. Even both of them knew that the box on Xu Hu was covered with bright big silver ingots. The same was true for the Xu Kang and Xu Tai brothers. They were carrying a box, which was also silver ingots.
There are not many things like silver notes. However, money houses are only available in big cities and places like Qingshan County, and they really don’t need silver notes. The private goods business in the martial arts world is mostly settled in cash, which also leads to Xu Jie going out and carrying more than 2,000 taels of silver ingots on his back.
The iron-backed dragon Wu Zihao also followed Xu Jie into the city, and led the way in front of him, saying, "Young Master Xu, you can enter the alley not far away. The fifth room in the alley has been rented and has been cleaned with someone. The courtyard is not small, so it must be extremely spacious."
Xu Jie replied after hearing this: "I'm really a laborious person, thank you very much."
Obviously, before Xu Jie came, he entrusted the Iron-backed Dragon to rent a courtyard in Dajiang City, so as not to have so many people who have no place to stay after entering the city. If you go to stay in the inn, the expense would be too high.
Wu Zihao smiled repeatedly and said, "Young Master Xu, you are polite. This is nothing, it's just a matter of raising one's hands."
But Xu Jie asked another question: "You are not afraid of walking around in Dajiang City. Has the grudge between your Nanshan Sect and the Dajiang Cao Gang been settled?"
Wu Zihao raised his head slightly and replied, "It's over. After the New Year, the leader Zhu sent the young master to Dajiang in person to meet with Chief He. This was revealed. The young master has been in Dajiang City recently and has not yet returned to Fushui."
Xu Jie no longer asked more when he heard this. People in the martial arts world are really worthy of pity. Most people die on the road to the martial arts world just to have a meal, and die outside the Xu family town. The people above looked at each other and smiled, and the people below seemed to die in vain. It seemed that everyone was happy. Xu Jie couldn't help but wonder why those people had to fight for their lives?
There are always many things in the world that are difficult to understand.
When the small yard was arrived, I opened the door. The yard was not big. The yard was smaller than the countryside and there were many wing rooms, but it was smaller than the countryside. It was enough for the more than 20 people to live in.
Many of these young men even brought bedding from the countryside. They were all tidying up their salutes. Yun Xiaolian was busy tidying up their own tidying up their simple furniture for Xu Jie. There was no shortage of simple furniture such as beds in the yard.
Yun Shuhuan was also busy looking for a place to hide the silver, fiddling with Xu Jie's pen, ink, paper and inkstone, and even brought the plate of black and white pieces.
There are many other things, which were prepared by the old lady and Xu Zhong personally. In Xu Jie's opinion, many things were redundant, but they did not refuse and brought them all.
Wu Zihao also helped the arrangements before and after, and after the arrangement was almost done, he also said goodbye and went to find Duan Jianfei to send a letter, and then he also set off and did not escort the goods downstream.
Not long after, Yun Shuhuan left, but Xu Gou'er took the initiative to go out with Yun Shuhuan. Yun Shuhuan had obviously seen the world and was not afraid of walking around the city. Xu Gou'er just wanted to follow him to see him everywhere and touch the surrounding environment. When Xu Jie asked, he could answer. When the two went out, they bought the firewood, rice, oil, salt, sauce, vinegar and tea, and some meat and fruits, and everyone should have dinner in the evening.
Early the next morning, Xu Jie took Yun Shuhuan and Xu Hu out. The young men at home were often guided by Xu Gouer and wandered around the yard for a few times, gradually getting familiar with this unfamiliar place. Even Yun Xiaolian also went out for a few times, going around the vegetable market and home.
When Xu Jie went out, he went straight to the county school. The county school was naturally the school. The county school was different from the county school. The county school was more like a place to learn, and the teachers inside were really the Four Books and Five Classics, explaining them in detail one by one.
This is not the case with county schools. There are not many classes in county schools. After going to the PM every day, if an old man is in a mood and gives a few profound articles, it is to listen and remember more. If there is no old man to talk about it, it is to study by himself. County schools themselves are not a compulsory school, and even many scholars do not come to study, it is okay.
It is also a lot of money to come to school. Of course, it is also beneficial, because in the county school, not to mention whether you can learn knowledge, at least you have the opportunity to get to know the gentlemen and even the examiners who give the exam questions.
Of course, those old gentlemen were not ordinary people. There were a few old Jinshi, officials who retired from the court, and there were also a few old Juren.
The Xuezheng Yamen, which is the yamen in charge of the scholars of Dajiang County, organizes scholars to take the autumn examination, and is mostly the chore of the Xuezheng Yamen. The county school is also directly managed by the Xuezheng Yamen. The Xuezheng is also an official name, just like the county magistrate in the County magistrate’s yamen. The chief examiner of the big exam is naturally the Xuezheng.
