Don't go down if you have a kind [Rebirth]

Fanwaiyi

You buried the bones in the mud, I sent the world to the world full of snow.



A weird person came to Mingshan Academy in Qingzhou Prefecture recently.

It is said that he is a student, but he never attends lectures.Even though he is a teacher, he never teaches.It is even more impossible to say that he came to work as a handyman. The handyman has no money to buy his outfit.

A quick look at his outfit didn't reveal anything.But if you take a closer look, you can find that the soap green robe is a bit old, and the light gauze on the face is the gold-twisted bottom of the Xizhou Tribute Court, and the folded bamboo pattern on the cuffs and lapels The embroidery is exquisite and dense, and it is also pressed with silver thread strokes.The jade crown on the head is even more terrible. It is the "Qingni Jade" from Qingniling, Liangzhou. The source of this jade mine has been destroyed for nearly 20 years. Money can't buy it.

Does he have the right?Neither.I don’t even have a servant at my disposal. In the summer, I dig wells and wash clothes by myself under the poisonous sun, climb roofs to repair leaky tiles in heavy rain, walk dozens of miles of mountain roads with bamboo baskets in the morning mist to pick mushrooms, and come back to catch chickens and bleed Plucking the hair and stewing it in a pot is done in one go, which makes people feel distressed skillfully.

The students in the academy like to peek at the weirdo cooking.Weird people have a good temper, avoid whoever they meet on the road, let whomever they touch, "polite", "excuse me", "please first" are always on the lips, if you always bump into his face, you will be familiar, outside the bamboo fence Let him catch a glimpse while peeping, and he'll invite you in for a bite or two.

If you get the opportunity to sit and eat together, you will be able to spy on this person more closely.

Looking at him from a distance, he is tall and thin, his facial features are regular and clean, and he is in the prime of his life, and he is about 27-40.But when he took a closer look, he had fine lines under his eyes, his lips were slightly chapped and peeled, his complexion was not very good, and there was a wisp of gray under the frizzy sideburns—probably, he was in his [-]s or [-]s?

Three or 40 years old, looks very rich, not ugly, should have a family and a job, why go to the corner of the mountain to live for a few months?

Xiao Tianci, a rich second-generation student, was straightforward. He stopped treating himself as an outsider after eating two mouthfuls of food. He rolled up his sleeves and scrambled to wash the dishes, while saying, "Sir, do you have a family? I have three cousins ​​in my family, each of whom is talented." You have both looks and looks, and you have been recruiting relatives for five or six years, but no one has taken your fancy! Hey, you are different, if you haven't married yet, why not..."

"Xiao Dabao!" Lin Yu, the student who came here with Xiao Tianci, is a second-generation official. He knew how to read people's faces when he was a child and followed his elders. "Don't talk nonsense! Offend sir."

Mr. Weird smiled and didn't care. He rushed the students to class: "Okay, let me do the washing. I'll take the sorting exam in a few days. It's not good to make the master angry if you are late."

Xiao Tianci was dragged away, mumbling unconvinced, and worried about his three cousins: "Why are you stopping me? My eldest cousin likes Mr. Blame the most! How do I know if I don't ask?"

The school bell rings at noon, and if you are late, you will be punished with a ruler.Lin Yu grabbed Xiao Dabao's collar and hurried on the road in a hurry: "Mr. Wei must have a family. Did you see the jade pendant on his waist?"

The bamboo and stone path twists and turns, and the sunlight is mottled.Xiao Dabao wiped the hot sweat off his face, and said with a groan, "I saw it! It's worth nothing! My family has a lot of money, how can I not be worthy of him?"

Lin Yu felt that he was dragging a stubborn bull, and tried to explain: "You know money when you smell like copper, you didn't see a red bead on his jade pendant. Over the years, the imperial court has been overthrown several times, how many high-ranking officials and celebrities have risen and fallen, and the meritorious and guilty are all unclear in the Spring and Autumn History Museum in Kyoto. You know who he is and dare to provoke him casually?"

Xiao Dabao's eyes widened: "Then... don't care who it is, my family has money..."

"Bah!" Lin Yu let go, hooked his leg and kicked, "You pig-headed! Sooner or later you will be smashed to death by money!"

While hiding, Xiao Dabao happily ran after him: "Hey, I'm happy!"

The two finally got the master's ruler.

Mr. Weird laughed silently as he looked at the chattering and lively youngsters all over the mountain nest.When he was studying here before, he had never seen such a lively scene.

It's not that it wasn't lively in the past, but that he was poor and impoverished at that time, and he couldn't see the excitement in his eyes.

Seeing his elegant clothes, others concluded that he was not here to be a handyman.No one would have thought of the job of a handyman. He had actually done it before.

He was poor from childhood.My father is a sour scholar who was only admitted to a scholar at the age of 50, and my mother is a gossip woman kicked out of a wealthy family. They make do with each other and look down on each other. He grew up and they both pissed each other off.He mortgaged several dilapidated houses in his family, and hired a bullock cart to drag several large boxes of scholar's father's letters to the Mingshan Academy in the neighboring city to donate and sell them.Unexpectedly, by chance, the academy recruited handymen, so he took advantage of the opportunity and donated himself as well.

I worked as a handyman for two years, and secretly listened to a lot of "sages and sages". Later, an old Mr. Zhang Zai came to the academy. The old man said that he had a strange skeleton, so he insisted on teaching him to read.

In the early years, he often felt that his life was ill-fated, his parents died, he suffered from hunger, cold, cold and hunger, he met a black-hearted examiner in a test, he was arrested all the way when he filed a lawsuit, he was sent to prison several times and escaped death, and his classmates and relatives were wiped out. .But when I think about it again these years, I feel that I have been hitting the big luck all my life, met countless nobles, and my official career is really smooth and smooth.

What is the ups and downs of officialdom?What is High Aspirations?I really haven't experienced it.

------

The old master slapped the ruler in his hand, and reprimanded the students below: "Books, if you can't read well, you can blame your natural stupidity. If you can't keep up with time, it's all because of being tired and lazy, unless you are lame today and don't miss class. Don't get up!"

With a pile of books on his head, Xiao Tianci squatted, bold and thick-skinned, grinning and said: "Master, tell the students, what exactly does that gentleman do? After you tell, the students will not detour Go play, you won't be late!"

The old master was so angry that he blew his beard and stared angrily: "Who is he, what has he to do with you naughty boy!"

Lin Yu, who was squatting on the side of the horse, said: "Master, please calm down. You said that you are lame. The students remembered the heavy rain a few days ago. The gentleman repaired the roof by himself. It seems that his legs and feet are quite inconvenient. Our academy will treat you poorly." Is it the way of the guest?"

The old master had a face of "you are the worst class I have ever brought up", snorted coldly and said, "I have trouble with my legs and feet... It's not up to us to care about the inconvenience of legs and feet. Old man, don't tell who he is today, tell me, this room A person who once walked out of the school."

Except for the words in the book, they are all good words.The students straightened their backs and their eyes lit up.

The master knocked on the seat next to Xiao Tianci: "This man used to sit here. He is smarter than you, more diligent than you, and better off than you. He won the prize, refused to bribe the chief examiner and was removed from the list. The complaint went all the way to the Dali Temple in the capital, where the case overturned the Minister of Rites of the current dynasty, and Tianyan received the holy grace, skipped the experience of the six imperial schools, and directly let the court set up a Hongdu mansion..."

"I know, I know," Lin Yu said, "this is Lord Wei Peiwei, the Prime Minister of the current dynasty. Wei Xiang's poems and essays are excellent. At that time, he and Xue Siqing were called the double jade in Beijing. The "Disarmament Policy" drafted by the two was equal in quality , more than ten thousand words in eloquence, my father asked me to copy and recite, but I was exhausted!"

"That's right," the master stroked his gray beard, nodded, then shook his head again, "but don't call it tired, the two adults in "Disarmament Policy" didn't ask for trouble when they wrote it, they just copied it from the back, how can they have the face to complain. The old man mentioned the Minister of Defense today to let you know that he was born as a commoner, and he also has the opportunity to be a great minister and help the world. Now that the country is in peace, all industries are waiting to be flourished, and the court is thirsty for talents, and it is just waiting for you to wait for young talents... "

"I know, I know!" Xiao Tianci said quickly, "But master, you must not deduct the student's rank in the day after tomorrow college entrance examination because of the student's lateness today. Serve the court!"

"Hmph!" The master scolded coldly, and said aggressively, "rude! I want to tell you this urchin today, your fortune and intelligence are not as good as those of a sage, and the only thing left to make up for your weakness is hard work. How can you pass the court if you don't know how to work hard?" Examination, entering Beijing to study?"

"Master, master," Lin Yu smoothed things over, "Xiao Tianci has been much more diligent lately! He reads three shifts at night and wakes up at five shifts in the morning. Except for lunch at noon, he is studying hard! It's a surprise that he was late today. Don't do it again! Xiao Dabao, admit your mistake!"

It is impossible to admit a mistake, Xiao Dabao gave Lin Yu a white look, and squatted steadily on his horse stance.The old master panicked and stopped caring about the two monkeys.

This horse step squatted until class was over, and the students had finished their meals before someone came to tell the master that he had something to say and could get up.

The two rushed to the dining hall, but there was no food.Come on, isn't this forced, and I have to find Mr. Weird for dinner again.

Unexpectedly, this time I won't be able to catch Mr. Weird's meal.Because there are guests in Mr. Strange's yard.

The guest was much weirder than Mr. Strange. He looked at the white clothes from the back, and looked gentle and handsome when viewed from the side. Hearing the sound was more like a spring breeze blowing on his face, but when he turned around, he was actually wearing half of a black mask.Xiao Tianci wanted to cry out "Ah", and asked Lin Yu to push him into the haystack.

I just heard the guest say slowly: "...in a few days, when the river is dredged, Jiang Zhijian will be sentenced to prison by Water Transport Tong. This man has a narrow vision, and he only wants to climb up. You don't want to be upset by pouring sewage on you for nothing. , the emperor is also annoyed..."

"He didn't pour sewage on me," Mr. Weird's tone had never been so intense, "Brother Wei, you go tell the emperor, the regent and your majesty, tell the third department and six departments that the man in Chaomulou is me He bought it! I also bought the house in Jingzhong for him! Jiang Zhijian told me that it was fine, but Hugh had to settle the old score! What kind of a thing is he! Where was he when the blood of the Xue family was crushed under the city wall?"

It turns out that the government has recently purged the official style. In order to gain a sense of presence under the noses of the leaders, an unsightly person has been actively "reporting and exposing" the "bad deeds" of his colleagues. After exposing seven or eight corrupt elements in a row, he got carried away , The random knife swung at Wei Pei, the Lord Xiangguo.

This Jiang Zhijian doesn't know the difficulties of being a human being, and he has no brains.He accidentally discovered that the honest and upright Master Wei had bought a young lady from Chaomulou. He was very shocked. It's a matter of Wei Xiangyi.

The melon-eating courtiers who didn't know what was going on were shocked and booed.After coaxing and coaxing, I found that the "little boy" was not young anymore, and he was still a "Second Entrant to the Prime Minister's Mansion"-it turned out that he was bought by Xue's family.

Master Wei quit, put his hands down, rolled up his pack and went back to his hometown to squat and get angry.

The guest comforted him and said: "The others don't know, but I have made inquiries. A few scoundrels in Chaomu Tower made trouble that day and wanted to kill the male servant Changjun. That Changjun originally belonged to Mr. Xue's mansion. When the capital fell to Xue's mansion, Xue's mansion was scattered. You just landed in that place, and now you are helping with the rescue, all because of an old friend. Clarify the whole story, and the rumors will naturally..."

"I'm not afraid of gossip!" Mr. Guai was a little sullen, "It's not for me! It's the Xue family! Let that Jiang Zhijian apologize to the Xue family!"

The guest sighed softly: "Oh, you...you don't know that in the play by the surname Jiang, there is no false statement about Xue Siqing. Besides, when Mr. Xue was here, why did I ever care about these gossips? If you are really angry, just deal with Jiang Zhijian’s crime according to the law. You come out under the pretext of investigating the local school running, and the few above are thinking about it every day. If you don’t go back, they will find me as a coolie. I still have to go to the Military Yarn Weapon Shop, no, you have to come with me..."

The two students squatted in the haystack outside the fence, not daring to vent their breath, and saw Mr. Wei being dragged down the mountain by the strange guest.

Xiao Tianci clutched his growling stomach: "Who is he! He hasn't eaten yet!"

The lights in Mr. Wei's room were like beans, most of the oil had burned out, and they were extinguished in a flash after a while.Lin Yu was so shocked that he couldn't recover for a long time, he elbowed Xiao Dabao who was screaming: "Hey, have you heard of the two phases of light and darkness in the current dynasty?"

"There was only one prime minister at the time, and I have never heard of two." Xiao Dabao rolled his big eyes, "Ah, did you hear just now, they said the emperor, the regent, your majesty, the Xue family, and the male servants! That's amazing! Yes, Mister Strange is a big shot!"

------

Yes.The big man has the big man's business to do, and the little boy has to take the little boy's college entrance examination.

Xiao Dabao had no food in his stomach, nothing in his mind, his eyes were filled with hunger, and he read at night with the lamp hanging on his shoulders.Originally, he could rely on his family's gold and silver mountains, but Xiao Dabao has lofty ambitions and wants to study and become an official.His parents said that he was not expected to study, and that he might become a business leader if he started a business. He ran away from home secretly. If he couldn't pass the college entrance examination or enter the Beijing Academy, he would have to go back and inherit his ancestral business.Alas, Yuzu.

Dabao's classmate is preparing for the exam in a hurry, and has no time to find Mr. Weird for dinner for several days.He didn't know that Mr. Weird went out with strange guests and came back, and became even weirder.

------

Mr. Weird stopped cooking.

He doesn't cook, and no one brings him meals, and he doesn't go to the big dining hall of the academy.

The students who observed secretly said: "It's bigu! For sure!"

Hearing that Mr. Wei had "bigu", Xiao Dabao woke up from the sage book: "Nonsense! Are you sick? Let's tell the master!"

Lin Yu stopped: "The master said, it's not our turn to take care of it, let's read your book."

The academy doesn't care, and the students don't care.The students were full of curiosity. When they passed by at night, they looked at each other secretly, and they were startled again: "Separation/body/skill! Two strange gentlemen!"

Xiao Dabao and Lin Yu also leaned over to have a look this time, and squatted in the grass pit outside the fence where they used to squat, only to see that there were really two figures in the room.

The twilight is light blue, the mountains near and far are light green and deep black, and the summer trees are lush, all set against the dim yellow light like beans in the half-closed bamboo window.The small light is located in the center of a table, and two people sit opposite each other on both sides of the table.The two people sitting opposite each other had a sideways look, and they were really alike.

But Mr. Weird sat upright.The man on the opposite side was slightly hunched, coughing all the time, dressed more plainly, and his demeanor was not as calm and calm as the previous masked guest. When he spoke, his eyebrows were downcast, and he looked a little embarrassed.

Embarrassed, he took out a small porcelain pot from his body, pushed it along the case to Mr. Wei, and said slowly and intermittently: "This is the ointment formulated this year, and I brought it here for you. Qingzhou is better than Kyoto." Hot flashes in summer, your legs have become more and more serious in recent years, you should go back as soon as possible. I... I won’t go back. I don’t need the house you gave me. Take a look at Sihai and Shisanguan. The meager medical skills are close to me. I will try my best to pay back the bag of broken silver and the money for redemption in the future. The ointment will also be sent to you on time every year. You... Take care .”

Mr. Guai's face sank like water, he stared at the ointment on the desk for a moment, and said softly, "You don't have to. If you really want to leave Beijing for a trip, then just leave it alone, I'll take care of it with Jiang Zhijian."

The embarrassed guest seemed to be even more embarrassed. He clenched his fist slightly, paused every word, and said in a low voice: "No, my lord, I am not for your reputation, nor for the reputation of Master Xue, nor for myself. I really want to Look around. The sky is big and the earth is big, but I have been trapped in a square inch for half of my life. Master Xue once said that I have "short-sightedness, no gaps in my chest, and the only advantage is that I have a little knowledge of Qi Huang"... I want Master Xue to take a look , if I can also read thousands of books and travel thousands of miles, my knowledge and valleys may not be shallow and embarrassing..."

Mr. Guai held the tea cup tighter and tighter, and suddenly spilled a drop of tea, his face paused slightly: "I'm sorry, I made a mistake."

The guest hurriedly said: "No, you are very good, I am deeply grateful for your kindness, and I will do my best to repay you."

Among the trees and grass, the crocodile sings, the heat dissipates, and the ground is cool and cool.The master and students had a rest early for the next day's college exam, and the whole academy and half of the green hills were quietly quiet.

The guest was silent, as if he wanted to say goodbye, but he didn't finish his sentence. After a long while, he suddenly said: "Master Wei, you asked me... what year did you enter the mansion. I told you at that time that Longjia was in his last years, it was a lie .In fact, it was the fourth year of Ping An after the emperor succeeded to the throne. When you saw it, it was my second year in the mansion."

"Boom", Mr. Guai shook his hands and shook out the teacup, spilling the lukewarm tea on the desk.He himself was really stunned for a while, got up to find a rag, came back to wipe the water stains skillfully, and pretended nothing happened: "Then...it's not early, have you had dinner?"

The guest finally stood up, bowed deeply, and said goodbye.

The author has something to say:

Master Wei's chapter and... and
