Chapter 136

The shopkeeper of the bookstore took a deep look at Li Xiucai and asked, "do you know that Yanda?"

Li Xiucai said, "you mean that gangster who abducted young master Wei?"

As a gambling house thug, Yanda had no intersection with a scholar like Li Xiucai in the past. Li Xiucai was bent on reading, and he really didn't know this person before.

But recently he found out.

The eldest young master of the Wei family ran away with a gangster Donggu county is known to all.

I don't know why the Wei family didn't cover up

"It's said that he is a gambling house thug, always hitting people!"

"Why did the shopkeeper ask him?"

"It's a pity for Wei Lingxiu to degenerate."

……

In addition to Li Xiucai, several scholars said one after another.

The bookstore belongs to the Wei family in Fucheng, and the shopkeeper, as a collateral branch of the Wei family, also has a surname of Wei. At this moment, the shopkeeper Wei took a special look at these talents and said, "if you want calligraphy, I'll go and ask first."

"More than a few days to get an answer?" Li Xiucai asked.

"You wait in the store, and you'll get an answer soon." Manager Wei said.

"Is he in the shop?" Li Xiucai was very surprised.

Manager Wei nodded and took Li Xiucai's Three Character Classic back to him and went into the backyard.

When he goes in, Yanjing is copying a famous person's annotation of the University.

Manager Wei leaned over to have a look, and saw an amazing good word.

Manager Wei is literate, but he has no reputation. He left a message and copied books in the bookstore. He also wanted to make a good relationship. But he did not publicize it because he was afraid of causing trouble.

I didn't expect that Yanjing could write such words

Manager Wei said, "Yan Jingze, I have something to look for you."

"What can I do for you, shopkeeper?" Yan Jing then asked, finished not copying books, but took a nearby travel notes to see.

He always wants to learn more.

Manager Wei asked, "how did you write this word?" Although he can't read, he still has the ability to appreciate. Yanjing is a good word!

If not, those scholars would not think it was written by the calligraphers.

"According to the words outside that don't sell." The words of scenery are the way.

Manager Wei: In fact, the word outside is not the original work of the previous dynasty, but a copy, but it is also enough to confuse the true with the false. Therefore, it is of great value and is the treasure of their shop.

"What's the matter?" Yan Jing looked at manager Wei, and suddenly realized what: "someone has taken a fancy to my words?"

Manager Wei didn't hide it. He told the outside situation directly, and also said that they returned the Three Character Classic.

"Who are those scholars?" Yan Jing asked.

Manager Wei said their identity - this Donggu County scholars, he basically know.

Li Xiucai is Lin Sheng? Yan Jing was very surprised.

Manager Wei said: "yes, he is one of the students in Donggu county. There is a great possibility that he will pass the examination."

Yanjing was moved in his heart and immediately said, "shopkeeper, you tell him that as long as he is willing to guarantee me in the county test, this" Three Character Classic "is his, and I am willing to write another word for him

In the bookstore, Li Xiucai and others were waiting anxiously, and they also had some doubts: "everyone, unexpectedly staying in this small bookstore?"

"The man may be from the Wei family in Fucheng. When he comes to Donggu County, he will stay in the bookstore temporarily."

"I don't know what kind of person that is!"

……

They read the three character book for a long time yesterday, but there was no change in the whole book!

The man is not only good at calligraphy, but also very patient and admirable.

Just waiting, they saw manager Wei come out.

Li Xiucai rushed to meet him: "manager Wei!"

"Li Xiucai, that man is willing to give you calligraphy." Manager Wei said.

"How much silver?" Li Xiucai asked.

"He has only one request Let you guarantee him in the county trial next year. " Manager Wei said.

Li Xiucai and others were confused: "for him?"

It seems to them that those who can write such words must be knowledgeable and old.

They have long since made up the image of a 40-50-year-old, knowledgeable middle-aged literati.

Now, the man asked them to guarantee him? Did they hear me wrong?

"Yes, if you are willing to vouch for him, he will give you this three character classic and give you another calligraphy." Manager Wei said.

Li Xiucai always thinks that his native place is too strange? Is birth innocent? "

Wei shopkeeper's corner of the mouth smoked: "his native place is in this county, born innocent." On the household register of Yanda, there is a "farmer" clearly.

"I will vouch for him!" Li Xiucai said, "I wonder if I can see him?" Is it because he is so addicted to calligraphy that he has never got his fame?Li Xiucai thought a lot for a while, but manager Wei said, "yes, please come inside."

Li Xiucai's face beamed with joy and followed manager Wei. As soon as he entered the courtyard, he saw a very tall man.

Generally speaking, people in the south of the Yangtze River are not tall, especially those in poverty. But Li Xiucai's family is rich and not low.

But even so, the man is much taller than he is.

Such a tall man Li Xiucai blurted out: "big words?"

He had seen Yanda before, but he didn't care about it at that time. He didn't understand Yanda until Wei Lingxiu's affair happened.

Li Xiucai despised this kind of person in his heart and disdained to be associated with him. He pointed to Yan Jing and asked manager Wei, "why is this person here?"

The manager of Wei ignored Li Xiucai, but looked at Yan Jing: "Xiucai Gong is willing to protect you."

Hearing what manager Wei said, Li Xiucai and others were confused.

Just now, they only promised to guarantee the calligraphy master who wrote the Three Character Classic, but they didn't promise to guarantee this big word. What's more, they said big He needs security?

To guarantee that he can borrow money?

"Manager Wei, what do you mean by that?" Li Xiucai asked.

Manager Wei pointed to the way of speech: "the Three Character Classic was written by him."

Li Xiucai et al Are they still dreaming and not awake?

Yanjing is discussing with Li Xiucai about his guarantee. On the other side, the people in his Casino have been drinking and chatting with the county magistrate's captains.

By the way, captors belong to the "humble occupation". Their descendants can't take the imperial examination, so as not to be insulted. What's more, they can only get about 10 liang of silver from the county government every year. It's OK to support themselves, but it's difficult to support a family. So they often think of other ways to "make money".

It's a small matter to receive filial piety. Extortion can also be done. It's more common to work as a part-time thug in a casino.

Let's just say before, Yanda got along very well with them and had some friendship.

Donggu county magistrate surnamed Zhu, just came to Donggu county not long ago.

In a relatively wealthy county like Donggu County, the local gentry has a lot of power. Many county officials come here and can't manage the affairs outside the county government. They are constrained by people everywhere and can only follow the old rules. This magistrate of Zhu county is one of them.

But the local gentry will not bully the people. The good people are the best for everyone So even if the county magistrate can only do things according to the local rules, there are still some achievements, some filial piety can also be obtained. If An'an is divided into several years, he can be promoted to other places to make a fortune.

But it's depressing.

Fortunately, no matter how big the local rules are, the county magistrate is still in charge of such matters.

After the year, the county magistrate attached great importance to the county examination.

This day, the magistrate of Zhu county was wandering in the county yamen when he suddenly heard several captains say, "the bully of Yanda, he is so absorbed in learning?"

"Indeed! After the young master of Wei's family told him a few books about sages, he swore that he would never idle around and concentrate on reading! "

"And such things?"

"There is still a fake! Our Donggu county is really outstanding, and the county magistrate is even more gentle. He can let Yanda, such a bully, start reading! "

……

Zhu county magistrate is well-off and has some skills in his family, so he can be a magistrate in such a rich and successful county.

The only bad thing about coming here is that he has nothing to do and is so idle that he likes to hear gossip.

He had heard of the big thing.

He had a good impression of Wei Zhiyuan. After all, this man has been teaching in Fucheng, and he doesn't give him any trouble. But recently, he has a lot of opinions about Wei Zhiyuan.

No matter how wrong their children are, they should also close the door to educate them. Wei Zhiyuan even drove his son out of the house, which made a lot of noise

However, those things had nothing to do with him. He just watched a joke and asked someone who Yanda was.

Isn't that saying that it has been rampant in the countryside? Now you start reading? And that kind of thing?

Zhu county magistrate called the captains to inquire.

The captains said, "my Lord, we have heard about it."

"It's said that he has a great ability to remember the past. He plans to take the county test next year."

"He recently copied books in Wei's bookstore."

……

As he said this, a constable said, "my Lord, if this bully changes his ways and begins to study, but his political achievements?"

Zhu county magistrate moved in his mind, thought about it and said, "I'll go to Wei's bookstore and have a look."

He has nothing to do with it. He might as well go to see the excitement.

Yan Jing went to his subordinates yesterday because he saw that the former officials could regard "Probation bully" as his political achievements, so he asked people to find a way to say something in front of the county magistrate.

He didn't ask Zhu county magistrate to really take him as his political achievements, as long as he could make an impression in front of him.After that, he naturally had other ways to make Zhu county magistrate pay attention to himself.

For example, he has planned to save some money, and then he will do "good deeds" everywhere.

As for what good to do Let his subordinates cooperate with the fall into the water, he staged a rescue in front of the county magistrate, or very simple!

Then try to let the magistrate know his talent. As long as he is not pedantic, he can look at him differently.

You know, one county produces more talents than other counties, which is also a political achievement!

However, Yanjing did not expect that the effect of his own words was so good. What's more, he didn't know that Zhu county magistrate was fond of gossip and planned to visit him.
