Chapter 214 Family trivia

The unexpected promotion did not come. Only the person involved, Jiang Anyi, knew what was going on. After being scolded, he walked out of the imperial study room. He was so relaxed that he was both shocked and admired Zhang Keji's inference. He was not convinced. It seemed that he had really short-lived his knowledge.

When he returned to the Ministry of Rites and continued to be a vain in the work of the people, Jiang Anyi felt that he had not learned enough. After he was disbanded, he ran to the bookstore. He used to want to study but now he doesn't want to study anymore. He bought a lot of money and forced himself to read every day. This is how it is, and it becomes a habit as he reads.

Regarding Xinfei, the dragon saw its head but not its tail, Jiang Anyi was determined to search for each other and had nowhere to find it. One day at the end of October, someone sent a letter in front of the door, and Jiang Anyi personally opened it. Opening the letter, the beautiful font inside it was already remembered in my heart. The letter was very long, and the deep lovesickness overflowed on the paper. In the letter, Xinfei wrote about the apology that she went to Wuliang Mountain Middle School to learn arts, and the matter was rushed and even unable to say goodbye; wrote about the hardships of being able to meet each other as soon as possible; wrote about the loss of going down the mountain but not meeting each other; wrote about the loss of learning Jiang Anyi's concubine; wrote about the imperative to go to the desert, and the helplessness of the officials...

In the end of the letter, Xinfei wrote: I made a three-year agreement with my husband. Within three years, I should do my best to serve the country and make great contributions to my master. After three years, I will leave Longwei and marry in the family. From then on, I will take care of my husband and children, and I will not ask about right or wrong. I hope Jiang Lang will be considerate. I will sigh and miss you. Xinfei will come."

Jiang Anyi stood up and took out the brocade box from the box. The yellow velvet cloth was as fresh as new, and the tears on the green flute were light. The sound of the flute came out, thinking of the old friend, and it could not express the meaning of lovesickness, and it could not be played with the feeling of separation. Missing longed as if the wind was howling outside the sky, and a petal of heart scent floated alone, so peaceful and peaceful.

After the song, Jiang Anyi gently stroked Xiang Feidi with his hand, and a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth. Years are hard to stay, time is easy to lose. Three years old, he is twenty-three years old, and Xinfei is only twenty-five years old, and there is still a lot of time waiting. Let us work hard, and then I, Jiang Anyi, will marry you in the door in a glorious manner.

Shi Tou's studies were confused. Not to mention that compared with Fan Zhichang, Dong'er also left him far away. The kid's cleverness was used to play. Looking at Jiang Anyi, shook his head and sighed. Shi Tou looked uneasy and said ashamedly: "Young Master, Shi Tou disappoints you. But I am used to wildness and can't calm down to study. I want to be sleepy as soon as I get the book."

Everyone has their own ambitions and cannot force them. Jiang Anyi asked quietly: "Shitou, then what do you want to do in the future?"

"Young Master, can you teach Shi Tou to practice martial arts? Shi Tou wants to be a hero?" Shi Tou looked hopeless and couldn't help but wave his hand.

Alas, I am An Yong again. Jiang Anyi was both angry and funny, scolding: "Others can't even ask for my teachings. You are still picky. Even if you are practicing martial arts, you must know something. It's great to have both civil and military."

Shi Tou smiled and said, "Young Master, you teach Zhichang, and I inherit the martial arts. If you have any questions, you can accept your efforts. You can sit at home and enjoy your happiness."

In this way, every day when I woke up, there were more shouts of stones when practicing martial arts in the yard. Dong'er was woken up and touched the empty quilt next to her, full of resentment.

Li Lai and his wife took over the Xinqidou Liquor business. The old couple's business was well run. Xinqidou Liquor opened up a reputation in the capital and became a hot item in the low-end and medium-end wine shops. The food and rice in the capital were also expensive and the salary was not small. The couple accumulated five or six hundred taels of silver in half a year, so they rented a house not far from the store. The family moved there to live there. Li Shicheng was reluctant to move out of the Jiang Mansion with his parents.

Failed the imperial examination list, which had little impact on Mr. Li's mood. Nearly 10,000 people went to Beijing for the exam, and only two or three of them could win. Li Shicheng was only twenty-five years old and was preparing to take the exam two or three more times. If it didn't work, he would find a way to candidate an official. With Jiang Anyi's brother-in-law, Li Shicheng was not worried at all.

Most of the people who failed the exam had to return home and started again after three years. Thousands of people were unwilling to spend their time on the way. They either looked for fellow townsmen, Taoist temples, or a few people shared a small courtyard, visited friends together, participated in various gatherings, and became famous in the capital. Reputation was also a great help to the imperial examination.

Li Shicheng was famous among the people who failed, first of all, because he was the famous Jiang Anyi. The top scholar who passed the Sanyuan and Jiangnan Cixian were famous in the Shilin, and was more attractive than the official rank of the Ministry of Rites. As his uncle, Li Shicheng knew how to take advantage of the situation. He was indispensable in the famous literary gatherings in the capital.

Secondly, the scholars of Zechang Academy were originally known as the "Ze Party" in the court. The older generation of senior brothers and teachers were eager to take care of these rising stars. These people will sooner or later become one of them, and they will prosper together and keep warm and the flames high. Ordinary people understand the principle that ordinary people can understand.

Speaking of which, Jiang Anyi is an alien. When he entered the officialdom, he offended the officialdom because of the Qing Dynasty's land, and was called the second-hand man in the officialdom. People in the "Ze Party" were afraid of causing trouble or being affected by the Qing Dynasty. Everyone intentionally or unintentionally put him away from the "Ze Party". Of course, with the prospering of Jiang Anyi's holy favor, the current "Ze Party" was eager to hold Jiang Anyi in his arms, but before, they were ugly, but now they have to "shy and timid" and slowly win over them.

Third, Li Shicheng himself was also talented and learned. After several poetry meetings, every time he had excellent works, he was praised for his poem "Chang Xiangsi" at the lyrics held by Duke Shen Guo. "Swallows are in pairs, butterflies are in pairs, flying to the willows. I asked Yi Yin's busyness. The green screen windows, seal stoves are incense. I was shocked to return to the bed of books. The sound of chess in spring and day is long" and was widely sung by brothels and jokingly called "Li Chengshuang" by people at that time.

The most important point is that Li Shicheng is rich and leisurely. Compared with most poor scholars, Young Master Li is now full of pocket money. Not to mention that Li Lai and his wife give him twenty taels of pocket money every month, and when they have no money, they go to the girl Dong'er. Now the rich woman Dong'er has a higher vision and takes fifty taels to take action. She calls her friends to a restaurant and spend money once, at most one tael of silver. She has a reputation of being generous. In Li Shicheng's opinion, this deal will not be lost.

Jiang Anyi's return led to Li Shicheng's idea of ​​forming an association. The capital's clubs were as numerous as the Zechang Academy. Many clubs were famous in Kyoto. The president went to and from the residence of the Duke and the Marquis became guests. The members were lucky enough to be famous in brothels and restaurants, which made Li Shicheng very jealous.

At first, Li Shicheng urged Jiang Anyi to be the leader. He was the only one who was the vice president. He was so arrogant with the banner. Jiang Anyi had no interest in this, so he let Li Shicheng come with excitement and return in failure. Those who are as smart as Li Shicheng would not be defeated by a small failure. Jiang's brother-in-law was unwilling to come forward, so he had to go out himself. The name of the club was thought of, and he took it from the couplet given to him by Jiang Anyi: The sword is sharpened by sharpening, and the fragrance of plum blossoms comes from the bitter cold. The name of the club is Lifeng Society.

Of course, the establishment of Lifeng Society also had to rely on the name of Jiang Anyi to invite hotels several times. When we were blushing, our heroes gathered under President Li. With Lifeng Society's painstaking management, Lifeng Society grew from about ten people to more than thirty people in two months. In terms of the Beijing community, it is already a large-scale community.

The growth of the club has to be said to be the contribution of Li Shicheng. Some people go to dinner every ten days. They live a hard and cold life, so they might as well join the club to play the teeth sacrifice. Li Shicheng often hinted that his brother-in-law, Jiang Zhuangyuan, would personally participate in the club activities and guide poetry. Many people went to Jiang Anyi as the name of Cixian. Of course, Jiang Anyi would not attend Li Shicheng's poetry club. He refused several times and was dragged together to have a meal by Li Shicheng, which greatly boosted the morale of the members of the poetry club.

Immediately afterwards, Li Shicheng copied two small poems written by Jiang An Yixian from his brother-in-law's desk, which caused another sensation. For a moment, many people were looking for joining the club. At this time, Li Shicheng had to choose the best and select several times to fix the poetry club to thirty-six people, including many famous scholars, such as Wu Zhi, Jiangzhou and Yang Zhaodu, Suzhou, were all talented.

After participating in several club rallies and competitions, Lifeng Club's reputation has increased greatly. In the snowy winter in Yongchang City, Lifeng Club was held prosperous.

The rise of Lifeng Society has attracted the attention of the "Ze Party". In recent years, the "Ze Party" has been weak in the court. Gao Guangyuan, the older generation (dead of illness), Cui Yuanzhi (retired), Wei Mingyuan (retired two years ago, retired), Fan Yanzhong (retired), and others died or retreated, faded out of Kyoto. The remaining ones are Wei Huaichao, the chief censor of the Ministry of Rites Deng Huaisu, and the official servant Yu Mingyang and others cannot bear the banner. Fang Linbin, the governor of Chenzhou who has the hope of taking over the banner, performed mediocrely in the Qing Dynasty and had no hope of entering Beijing.

When Ze retreats, Zhang advances. Pan Linfeng, the leader of the Party, is the Minister of Personnel, takes the important position. He promotes and reuses officials from Zhangyi Academy openly and secretly, so that the originally weak "Ze Party" retreats again and again in the officialdom, and speaks weakly. In addition, Wei Huaichao is noble and arrogant, and is not willing to be involved in it. It is difficult for Kyoto to compete with Deng Huaisu, Yu Mingyang and others alone.

The emergence of Lifeng Society gave Deng Huaisu hope. First, there were some people in the future, and second, he used this to bring Jiang Anyi into the team. With Jiang Anyi's support, the Ze Party also produced one more powerful general. Deng Huaisu and Yu Mingyang frequently appeared at the Lifeng Society's gatherings, which greatly boosted the morale and reputation of Lifeng Society.

In December, Jiang Anyi received several letters. The letters were written by Yan'er. Jiang Anyi was very pleased with her elegant small calligraphy. My young talented girl is not inferior to herself. The common things in the letter are chattering and reading them in a slight way, and when you see the letter, Jiang Anyi is like staying at home, chatting and laughing with her mother, An Yong, and Yan'er. Sometimes I think that the time before I was admitted to the scholar was the happiest time.

Another letter was Zhang Keji's letter. He had arrived at the Jiang family smoothly. With Jiang Anyi's letter, the Jiang family regarded him as a guest of honor and looked at him higher than Mr. Zhou. Zhang Zhen and Yan'er were about the same age and soon became like sisters. After Zhang Keji watched coldly for nearly a month, after receiving the support of Jiang Huang, he began to rectify the Jiang family's business, and he passed several people in his uncle's family. The trend of the Jiang family changed.
