Chapter 273 The old meet

In December, Dazheng entered a cold winter from north to south, and there were fewer people on the official road. The wind blew through the empty road, raising dust and sand, causing the vendors who were carrying cargoes to stagger. Occasionally, a fast horse was galloping by, and the horse's bodyguards deliberately opened their clothes to show their strength.

In Kunhua Mountain, Texas, a heavy snow has just arrived, surrounded by white white, mountains are like silver dragons, and trees are like pink, which is particularly beautiful. Because it snows, the roads are difficult to walk, and the mountains are less lively as usual. A few pedestrians walk along the mountain road, laughing constantly, echoing in the empty mountains.

Jiang Anyi was wearing a green fur coat, and Xinfei next to her was a plain fox fur, walking side by side, meeting each other from time to time, smiling sweetly. Siqing and Siyu were wearing red cloaks, and they picked up snowballs from the snow next to them from time to time, threw each other, and laughed and joking. There was no one on the mountain road, and both of them were riding on martial arts, so Xinfei was not afraid of sliding down the mountain stream, so she was too lazy to talk about them.

More than a month has passed since Jiang Anyi woke up. Duan Cizong had returned to Beijing under the imperial edict. The war in the northwest was in a stalemate. After Yang Xiangliang led his troops to reinforce, the Western Regions coalition had already shown signs of retreating. The clearing of Qingshan Shuizhai was temporarily stagnant because the official army lacked warships. However, there were more and more warships on the river. No one knew when Ma Chenguang was preparing to attack.

Jiang Anyi stayed in Wuyang Prefecture for recuperation because of his injury. However, he asked Duan Cizong to bring a seal to the emperor, saying that he had not returned to his hometown for more than three years, so he asked the order to go home to visit relatives first and get married by the way. After seeing the memorial, Shi Fangzhen remembered that Jiang Anyi had made many contributions to the country since he became an official and faced danger several times, so he should reward him.

The decree gave him a leave of absence for half a year, and ordered him to go home to visit his relatives and get married, and his wife was named the fifth rank of Pleasant. Shi Fangzhen never dreamed that Jiang Anyi was going to marry as a Longwei polite. Feng Yucai wanted Xinfei to leave with Jiang Anyi, and from then on, he took care of his husband and children and did not fight with him. The resignation letter written by Xinfei was properly collected by him, and he planned to submit it after Xinfei got married. At that time, the raw rice was cooked and no one could change it.

Xinfei actually intended to marry Jiang Anyi. After all, she was twenty-three years old and was already considered an old girl in the eyes of the world. This time, in order to save Jiang Anyi, she had a skin-friendship with her. Jiang Anyi proposed, and Xinfei of course happily agreed.

The two discussed the wedding date on February 18th next year, and invited relatives and friends to attend. Xinfei's parents died early, and the master was the one who was closest. With a nervous heart, he wrote a letter to the master, asking her to attend as the elder of the woman, and also invited sisters from the master. As for whether the master would object, ignore her for now, the master's fate is no more than an imperial edict.

In early December, when Jiang Anyi received the emperor's imperial edict, he immediately packed up and got up. He traveled with Xinfei along the way, as if he had resurrected the time he entered Beijing. Time flies, but fortunately, the two of them became closer and closer. The lovers finally got married, which is always a joyful thing.

On the 20th day of the journey to Wenping Mansion, Jiang Anyi proposed to go to Laojun Temple in Kunhua Mountain to burn incense and fulfill his wish. The scholar who took the exam to watch the wish at Laojun Temple had not yet returned. Xinfei is now Jiang Anyi said that everything is good. As long as the two are not separated, Siqing and Siyu are attentive and cheering.

The couplets of the pillars of the Sanqing Palace eaves "Thousands of auspicious lights return to the purple palace, and thousands of auspicious energy penetrate the Huangting" are as old as before, but the Taoist priests with red faces seem to have lost a lot. They do not have the style of the God of Wealth back then, and their thin faces really look like a fairy-like appearance.

After giving ten taels of incense money, the audience alarmed and came forward diligently to invite Jiang Anyi and others to Hexuan to drink tea. Jiang Anyi accidentally mentioned that the incense in the temple became much colder, which caused Taoist Master Pingxu to sigh and complain: Originally, the emperor valued Buddhism, and in the past two years he had strongly supported the temple, especially respecting Master Hong Xin, the abbot of Anlong Temple. Master Hong Xin often traveled around to talk about Zen, and believers in Jiangnan were gradually attracted by him to believe in Buddhism. Recently, the emperor also appointed Master Hong Xin as the Zen Master of the Guardian Kingdom, and the life of Taoism was even more difficult.

Xinfei knew a little about the emperor's thoughts of suppressing Taoism and worshiping Buddhism, while Jiang Anyi and Master Hong Xin had a deep connection. The two looked at each other and laughed without saying much.

After drinking tea, the two of them took Siqing and Siyu to play the mountain scenery. When they went down the mountain and passed the pavilion, Jiang Anyi smiled and talked about the situation of the poems he had made back then. Xinfei was interested in everything about Jiang Anyi and pulled Jiang Anyi into the pavilion to see. There were several stone tablets outside the pavilion, engraved with poems, which were exactly the "birds cried in the sky" that Jiang Anyi did back then.

"Ha, what good thing is this a flattering person who flatters you?" Siyu jumped over and brushed off the floating snow on the monument. Seeing a small note on it, she simply described the story of the poems that year. The focus was on introducing Jiangnan Cixian, the top scholar Jiang Anyi, the three-year top scholar, and the end of the poems was signed by Yu Yuanqing, Liu Yixing and others.

Looking at people, all kinds of things surged into my heart back then. In winter, I felt warm in my heart. Holding Xinfei's hand, Jiang Anyi felt happy in his heart when facing the old scenery.

Three people walked up the mountain road. In front was a scholar in his thirties, wearing a used green cotton robe, holding a seven or eight-year-old boy in his hand, followed by a servant, carrying offerings such as incense and candles. They should have gone up the mountain to fulfill their wishes.

Jiang Anyi had sharp eyes and saw at first glance that the scholar was an acquaintance. He stood up and shouted happily: "Brother Liu, it has always been good."

The scholar stood up and looked up at the pavilion. He saw the handsome young man in the pavilion, with a beautiful and beautiful maid next to him. He knew he was a rich man at first glance. He looked familiar, but he couldn't remember who he was?

The thoughts in his head turned on, and the scholar raised his hand and said, "Forgive Liu, I didn't recognize who my brother is?"

Jiang Anyi laughed loudly, stepped out of the pavilion, and said, "The grass on the Kunhua Mountain is lush, and the stream flows eastward and goes westward. No one under the pine tree flowers fall..."

"Jiang Anyi, you are Jiang Anyi." Before Jiang Anyi could finish his recitation, the scholar shouted in surprise. Jiang Anyi bowed and smiled, "Where will we meet in life? I didn't expect to meet old friends again in the old place. It's really a joy from heaven. Brother Liu, are you safe?"

Liu Yixing took a step forward in surprise and wanted to pull Jiang Anyi's hand. He suddenly remembered, stepped back, tidied up his clothes, bowed and said, "I have met Lord Jiang."

Jiang Anyi was stunned and then said unhappily: "Brother Liu, you and I have a small relationship, why should you be confined to common etiquette? If you want to be called an adult, it would be fine if you don't see each other today."

Seeing Jiang Anyi's sincere words, Liu Yixing replied with a smile: "Anyi, Liu is relieved when you say this. Tianjian, come here to pay homage to you Uncle Jiang."

The child behind Liu Yixing stepped forward and politely said, "I have met Uncle Jiang."

Jiang Anyi helped the child up and smiled and said, "Brother Liu, this is your child, why isn't he as active as you?"

The two of them entered the pavilion together, and Jiang Anyi introduced to Liu Yixing: "This is Zhujing Xinfei, this is the eldest brother Liu Yixing I just mentioned. He insisted on giving me silver."

Xinfei and Liu Yixing greeted each other, Jiang Anyi and Liu Yixing entered the pavilion to make a fuss. Jiang Anyi saw that Liu Yixing was dressed out of date, and there was a few wrinkles on his forehead. There was a look of sorrow between his eyebrows, but only his eyes were still bright. The two couldn't help but laugh when they talked about the past. When talking about Fatty Guo, Jiang Anyi asked Yu Yuanqing and learned that the man had gone to a county in Fangzhou to serve as the head of Bo.

"Brother Liu, where are you at your disposal now?" Jiang Anyi asked.

Liu Yixing sighed and said, "Liu's luck is unlucky, so he has long since stopped being ambitious. Under the guidance of his father, he is a minor official in the prefecture. Unexpectedly, two years ago, Governor Feng was promoted to Weizhou, and the new Governor Niu Zhizhi cultivated his confidants. He ordered his father to retire on the grounds of his old age and weak body. His father was frustrated and fell seriously ill. Fortunately, after treatment, his condition improved, and I brought my dog ​​to fulfill his wish."

There was an unexpected situation in the world. Jiang Anyi saw a heavy feeling in Liu Yixing. This heavy feeling frozen his humorous personality back then. There was no humorous and interesting Liu Yixing in the world, and there was a little Liu Xiaoliu who was busy for the family. Jiang Anyi suddenly remembered Tian Shoulou. Compared with Liu Yixing, Tian Shoulou was lucky. He made some progress because of his mentor Yu Zhijie. Today, it seemed that he had the ability to help others. Jiang Anyi was a little moved. However, he was just a member of the Ministry of Rites and had no intersection with this governor Niu. Will this governor Niu buy his own face?

Jiang Anyi thought for a moment, and smiled and said to Liu Yixing: "Jiang was ordered to go home to visit relatives this time. He has not visited the governor Niu yet. I wonder if Brother Liu can do my best to introduce him to the governor Niu for me tomorrow at the same time?"

Liu Yixing's eyes flashed with emotion. Jiang Anyi was kind, but he understood in his heart that this was Jiang Anyi who wanted to speak for him in front of the governor Niu. Although Jiang Anyi was a sixth-rank official, he had a great reputation in the scholars. Not to mention the title of Sanyuan and Jiangnan Cixian, the title of Jiangnan Cixian was a great scholar. Just by funding Zechang Academy, many poor scholars admired him very much.

Jiang Anyi was young and there were rumors in the Dezhou officialdom that he was deeply trusted by the emperor and the prince, or that Jiang Anyi himself did not know that during the Chinese New Year last year, the governor Niu made a special trip to Jiang Huang to send New Year's greetings to Jiang Huang. With him, he introduced that the governor Niu would definitely use himself to use himself to strengthen his connection with Jiang Anyi.

Thinking of this, Liu Yixing stood up and bowed to the ground, thanking him: "I will never thank you for your kindness. Liu will welcome you to the governor's door tomorrow."

The next day, in front of the Dezhou Governor's Office, Liu Yixing responded to Mao and found a reason to slip out. He anxiously waited for Jiang Anyi's arrival next to the stone lion in front of the door. Like the county government, the governor's office has six rooms. Liu Yixing is a clerk under the workshop. The workshop is in charge of engineering, construction, farming, water conservancy and other matters. There are many things at the end of the year. There are more than a dozen clerks in the workshop, all of whom are so busy that they are not touching the ground.

The head of the workshop was Chen Guoqian. Liu Zicai was the director of the army before. He took care of Liu Yixing's unruly behavior and offended Chen Guoqian. Liu Zicai naturally did not dare to do it. Since Liu Zicai was defeated, Liu Yixing's good days in the workshop were over. He was sent to him not to mention dirty and tiring work, but he had to be trained to do good or bad things. If he had not wanted to support his family, Liu Yixing really wanted to slap the table and stop doing it.
