[Comprehensive Mythology] Asking about the beginning

Datang Kingdom, Qinghe County, Changshan Village.

This is a very quiet little village.The villagers are simple and honest, and have been farming for generations.

That is, three years ago, a handsome young boy Lang and his brother came.

The scope of the village is not large, and often when something happens to the east family, the west family will know it in a blink of an eye, and there are not many secrets to speak of.

The young Lang's surname is Jiang, and his single name is Ning. He is really a good man with clear and handsome features.And that whole-body magnanimity is not comparable to ordinary people.At least in the eyes of many Huaichun girls, Ning Shusheng, who has read a lot of poetry and books, can be compared with it.Naturally, it's hard to say how much selfishness there is in this.

After all, no matter how you say it, Mr. Jiang is just an outsider, and the root of this is unknown. The villagers are simple and simple, so naturally they have some inexplicable and xenophobic thoughts.It is also because Mr. Jiang's words and deeds are all modest and polite, and it is difficult for the villagers to feel disgusted when they see it.

In contrast, Ning Shusheng, who has read a lot of poetry and books, is much closer.

Ning Shusheng's surname is Ning, and his first name is Caichen.Parents and grandparents are all from Changshan Village, Qinghe County.This little scholar is also pitiful, his parents passed away one after another when he was only two or three years old.In desperation, he was brought up by Yigan's neighbors.The little scholar was very competitive, and he didn't cry or make noise when he was young, but when he grew up, he was very learned, worshiped under the teacher of Mr. Yan, a great Confucian in that county, and read a lot of poetry and books.As the saying goes, there is poetry and calligraphy in the belly.The little scholar was originally cute and cute when he was a child, but when he grows up, his figure is also exceptionally slender and good-looking.

The Tang State emphasized Confucianism. Since the Emperor Gaozu obtained this country with the help of a certain great Confucianist a hundred years ago, he has paid special respect to Confucianism.And when the first emperor ascended the throne, he even abolished the beliefs of Buddhism and Taoism, vigorously promoted Confucianism in the country, and put Buddhism and Taoism into the ranks of heretics.

Later, the imperial examination was set up, and the Enke was selected to obtain scholars, so that children from ordinary families could also become high-ranking officials and noble officials.

Ning Shusheng is grateful for the kindness of the villagers, and it is a good material for reading. Naturally, he has saved his mind to serve the villagers and elders by being named on the gold list.The villagers are simple and honest, but if it is said that they are not so proud and vain, it is not the same.All of them were pointing at Ning Shusheng's high school champion eagerly!

It's not that Shusheng Ning is arrogant. Although his parents died early and his family was poor, in terms of knowledge, at least in Qinghe County, he has few rivals.Even Mr. Yan, who has always been serious and rigid, once said quite proudly that as long as the student works hard and doesn't get distracted by foreign affairs, among other things, he won't be able to escape the second place in the ranking.

Confucian Dachang, Mr. Yan's status in the Tang Dynasty is not low.Not to mention anything else, the county magistrate, with his fat head and big ears, usually looks arrogant, but when he saw this, he was like a mouse seeing a cat, and he didn't even dare to breathe.

There are even rumors that this Mr. Yan is a master of Confucianism and Taoism.Even if the present Emperor His Majesty sees this, he has to be honest and polite to call Mr.

But no matter what the inside story is, there is only one thing that is certain: Scholar Ning really wants to be nominated for the second place in the list!In addition, he looks handsome and knows the bottom line, although he has a bit of a bookish spirit, it is understandable.Because of this, more or less boudoir girls put all their thoughts on Ning Shusheng.

It is also Mr. Yan who is strict and strict, and has long said: If you enter his sect, you will not make a career, and you must not indulge in your children's affair!

Scholar Ning also knows the rules, otherwise he would have known what had happened.

In comparison, Mr. Jiang Ning, who rarely appeared in front of people, was so insignificant.

It's not that the girls look down on Mr. Jiang, it's because Mr. Jiang looks like a witty guy, but he's actually a lump of elm.Even though a certain matchmaker who claimed to be Hongluan Xingjun descended to earth broke her mouth, she didn't show any interest in any girl.At the end, he handed the tea to the matchmaker, and asked with great interest:

If they get married, would they be able to bring their sick brother with them?

brother? !

On the spot, the matchmaker spit out a mouthful of tea and left in despair.

Speaking of Mr. Jiang Ning Jiang, there is nothing to say about his good looks.He has a good temper, gentle and gentle, and treats everyone with such a tepid look, which is much better than the occasionally scholar Ning Shusheng who is angry and stubborn.The whole body is dressed in a dignified manner, and it looks like a nobleman.He is indeed a good gentleman with both talent and appearance.

But it's a pity that this one seems to have severe hysteria, insisting that he brought a seriously injured elder brother.Not only are clothes and food always purchased in double quantities, but he is not shy in front of outsiders, saying that his elder brother has been seriously injured and needs to improve his self-cultivation.

Could it be that he was bewildered?

Shi Dao and others were denounced as heretics in the Tang Dynasty, but they still had some influence among the people.Therefore, many monks, nuns and Taoists dressed in strange ways came to the door, saying that they wanted to cure Mr. Jiang's hysteria and drive away the demon atmosphere.I don't know what the result will be. Anyway, this situation didn't last long, and no monks, nuns or Taoists came to the house anymore.But Mr. Jiang Ningjiang is still the same.

The villagers are simple and honest, and they are not those kind of cruel parents. Who would dare to marry their own daughter to this bewildered young man?The people who came to the door to ask for marriage have disappeared.

And Mr. Jiang Ningjiang was naturally so happy.

Time flies in the blink of an eye, and before you know it, it has been three years.And Ning Caichen and Ning Scholar are also at the age to go to Beijing for the exam.After declining the gracious hospitality of the villagers and saying goodbye to everyone, Scholar Ning set out on the road with his luggage on his back, and the destination was naturally the capital.

That is, not long after Scholar Ning was on the road, and the neighbors who saw him off hadn't come to their senses, the nagging Mr. Jiang Ning, who was a bit dazed, also left the place without a sound. year's small village.

As the saying goes, one who is useless is a scholar.But the good thing is, thanks to the serious and old-fashioned Mr. Yan, Ning Caichen and Ning Shusheng, who have never traveled far, still have some experience in life, so they won’t end up in a disheveled state and lose face when they are sold and count the money the point.

This has just stepped out of the familiar territory.When the parting was sad, Scholar Naning couldn't help feeling a bit of youthful pride.Shaking his head slightly, he wanted to chant some poems for the occasion.Before he could exit, he heard a familiar voice shouting from behind:

"Brother Ning Xian, it's been a long time."

The brows are warm, and the face is upright and upright, like the breeze in the forest and the bright moon in the mountains, giving people a sense of open-mindedness for no reason.

"Zhan Bi Qi Ao, green bamboo Yi. There are bandits and gentlemen, such as cutting like sharpening, such as cutting like grinding. There are bandits and gentlemen, and they must not be scorned!"

His face flushed, and when he realized it suddenly, he blushed a lot. Then Shusheng Ning saluted embarrassingly, and confessed:

"So it's Brother Jiang, it's my little brother, my little brother..."

The rest of the words are really difficult to utter. I can't say that I just saw this person, and before I could think about it, I said the sentence in Qi Ao in the Book of Songs without thinking. My heart was anxious, and suddenly I had an idea , changing the subject:

"Little brother, I went to Beijing to rush for the exam, but I don't know where Brother Jiang is going?"

Seeing that the young man who was a few years older than him was also planning to travel far away, he couldn't help but look forward to it, and continued to ask:

"But you are traveling with me, little brother?"

In the end, he reacted again, quite regretfully said:

"It's also my younger brother who has made a fool of himself. As Brother Jiang, I think I don't have to take the imperial examinations."

"As a brother, I want to go to the capital. Fortunately, I met a good brother. It's a long way to go, so how about a company?"

With a faint smile, the person who came didn't say much, just suggested.Needless to say, it was Jiang Ning.

He was dressed like a Confucian scholar, but he didn't wear very rich and gorgeous clothes, but his demeanor was really not to be underestimated.A small burden was carried on his shoulders, and a long sword with simple decoration was buckled around his waist. His brows were gentle and his face was handsome.Rather than Ning Caichen, a serious Confucian disciple, he is more like a gentle gentleman who comes out of a poem.

Since coming to Changshan Village in Qinghe County three years ago, although he seldom goes out to communicate with people on weekdays, this suspected noble son Jiang Ningjiang, Ning Caichen and Ning Scholar, have met a few times.Mr. Yan is a rigorous person. To put it nicely, he is stubborn and stubborn. To put it badly, he is stubborn and inflexible.But it is undeniable that compared to Jiang Ning's half-baked hypocrite, that one is definitely a model of the ancient gentleman.For the requirements of the disciples under the sect, among other things, the five classics and six arts are necessary.Even if you don't have both civil and military skills, you must at least know a thing or two.

What about the Five Classics?

"Book of Songs", "Shangshu", "Book of Rites", "Book of Changes", "Spring and Autumn"

Who are the six artists?

Ritual, music, archery, royal, book, and number are also.

It was the first time to leave his hometown, and luckily he was accompanied by an acquaintance like Jiang Ning, so Scholar Ning was naturally happy.Although Jiang Ning is not really a fellow countryman, and they are not familiar with each other, but they have lived together in the same place for three years, no matter what, they can be regarded as half of their fellow countrymen.

"In this way, Brother Lao Ning will take care of you along the way."

"Don't dare, brother virtuous, please be polite."

......

They gave in to each other, and patiently played with the scholar.Jiang Ning finally embarked on the journey with this scholar Ning.

Ning Caichen, could it be the one from Liaozhai?

Such doubts flashed in his mind, and Jiang Ning pressed his fingertips on the sword handle at his waist, but Jiang Ning couldn't help but feel a little dazed:

Come to think of it, that person should have woken up too.

I don't know how he will react when he sees this matter?

Probably nothing will change.

Clear and cold, even the gentle and tender eyebrows can't hide the indifference to the world.
