Chapter 60 The sword goes sideways
Steamed pork with rice noodles, bean blanch fish, braised pork ribs, bitter gourd egg pancakes, stir-fried pumpkin, oil-dried cabbage, radish bone soup, six dishes, one dish, it has a strong fragrance and bright colors, and it looks like it makes people feel appetite. The two children didn't raise their heads and originally didn't like bitter gourd, so Jiang Anyi used chopped bitter gourd into egg liquid to fry it into egg pancakes. The two children immediately fell in love with bitter gourd egg pancakes.
Fan Yanzhong's heart fire was almost cured. The redness on his face turned into a healthy rosy rosy, and his smile became much more common. He no longer lost his temper when talking to others. Fan Shiben was very grateful to Jiang Anyi. His father's illness can be said to be cured by Jiang Anyi. In addition, Jiang Anyi showed his hands from time to time, and the family's appetite increased greatly, and he was several pounds fatter than before.
Fan Zhichang suddenly raised his head and said, "Uncle Jiang, Yasheng once said, 'A gentleman stays away from the blister'. You like cooking so much, isn't it a gentleman?"
Children speak without restraint, and everyone laughed. After laughing, Fan Shiben raised his face and taught a lesson: "The sage said that 'A gentleman stayed away from the kitchen' means that people are kind and loving to things. This sentence should be read from the beginning, 'A gentleman is to see his life and cannot bear to see his death; when he hears his voice, he cannot bear to eat his meat. So a gentleman stayed away from the kitchen. Do you understand?"
"I don't understand very much." Fan Zhichang stared at his father with slim eyes, full of confusion.
Fan Yanzhong put down his chopsticks and said, "The Master said 'food and sex are nature'. If you really want to stay away from the kitchen, then don't you drink Mao Ju blood and eat raw rice."
Jiang Anyi took off the rice grains stuck on Fan Zhichang's face and smiled and said, "Is it a gentleman who looks at a person's virtue, his attitude and practice towards life and death, wealth, and power. As for the trivial matters like cooking, the Master doesn't care much about it. Didn't the Master say 'I don't eat it properly'? He is like you, but he is picky about food. I haven't seen you eat vegetables."
"Eat it." Fan Zhichang quickly picked up chopsticks of vegetables and lowered his head to stew the rice. Fan Qianli revealed: "Brother just now secretly pushed the pumpkin to the ground, and I saw it."
"Oh, it's hard to raise women and villains." Fan Zhichang shook his head and sighed like a little adult, making everyone laugh, and Fan Qianli was angry.
After dinner, soaked the tea from Anlong Temple, and everyone sat leisurely in the courtyard to eat. Jiang Anyi deliberately raised the topic and asked, "Why can you ask sir, how many of the lords in the court be called gentlemen?"
It is Fan Yanzhong's favorite to comment on people. He can talk nonstop in one hour. The speaker is unintentional, and the listener is intentional. Jiang Anyi learned from the prime ministers of the two dynasties through Mr. Fan's words, Wei Yishen, who are the six ministries and nine ministers for? This information is always useful in his mind.
After three days of meal, Jiang Anyi always asked various verbal talks to arouse Fan Yanzhong's interest, and asked him to talk about the famous ministers in the court, and even today's habits and preferences. Fan Yanzhong seemed to have an investigation, stopped talking, and asked thoughtfully: "An Yi, what do you want to ask?"
Seeing through by Master Fan, Jiang Anyi said his intentions embarrassedly. Master Fan was stunned when he heard this. Brother Jiang was too adept at it. He actually thought about exploring Long Live's thoughts from his father. Who might become the main tester? Recently, he speculated about the question of the policy theory.
Fan Yanzhong sighed, "There are so many smart people in this world. I heard that Zhang Hongchong, a doctor in the Ministry of Justice, spent more than ten years to compile a book called "Collected Collection of Lis and Consciousnesses". He studied the articles that passed the academic qualifications and were regarded as treasure books. I was also quite moved, but unfortunately I didn't meet them at first. An Yi, like Zhang Hongchong, you have put your mind in a biased manner. How can you take advantage of your reading?"
Living in a seclusion in the village of Neishui, Fan Yanzhong did not know the outside world. Zhang Hongchong was dead. I don’t know where his precious book fell? Jiang Anyi was quite moved. If he could get this book, it would save a lot of effort. After knowing Jiang Anyi’s thoughts, Fan Yanzhong no longer talked about major events in the court. Jiang Anyi also knew the tactful focus and turned his focus to studying hard. However, when the night was quiet, he always thought of the book "Like and Concern Collection" mentioned by Fan Yanzhong.
On the sixth day of the 12th month, the first snow fell quietly, decorating the village of Jinshui into a silver makeup. Jiang Anyi reluctantly bid farewell to the Fan family and embarked on the journey back. He and Shiben agreed that on the eighth day of the next year, they would go to Beijing to take the exam together.
After passing Canglan Ridge again, Jiang Anyi knew that the stone drop was caused by Zhang Bojin and Qin Haiming, who wanted to harm him. Now Zhang Bojin has no idea of life and death. Qin Haiming is still free and unrequited. It is not Jiang Anyi's character to not avenge his grudges, so Jiang Anyi decided to go to Wenping Mansion to settle the score with Qin Haiming.
When it was dark, he entered Wenping Mansion. After a while, Jiang Anyi left the inn and asked about the ancestral home of Zhang's family in the south gate. There was a seal of the government in front of the door. The wind and rain were broken. Jiang Anyi did not dare to enter the gate. He circled around the courtyard and looked for a low place. He saw that there was no one around. He raised his body and turned into the courtyard. The courtyard was covered with dead grass and had not lived in it for nearly four months. The old house became more and more broken. When the house was confiscated, the soldiers took rude action, the window frame was dragged to the ground, and the door was tilted.
Jiang Anyi came here for the book "Like Jiyun Collection" and found the main house in the direction. The door of the main house was open, and with the blurred moonlight, you could see the tables and chairs in the house rolling over, and the paintings hanging on the wall were torn to the ground. A gust of wind passed, and spider silks in the house were floating, making the yin energy flowing.
He stepped into the house carefully, and the upper room had been turned upside down, all the valuable things were taken away, and the hidden box on the inside of the bed was also opened. Jiang Anyi probably was Zhang Hongchong's residence. He turned around and came to the right. Sure enough, there were many books on the ground, with black footprints printed on it. This should be Zhang Bojin's residence.
He put all the books together and read them locally. An hour passed. The book "Like Jiyun Collection" was not found. Jiang Anyi stood in the middle of the house and looked around. The inside was the bed. The bed had been turned over, and there was no secret grid. The left was the bookshelves, the books were scattered all over the floor, and the right side was against the window. The four treasures of the study on the table were scattered and chairs were next to it. On weekdays, Zhang Bo's convex should sit here to read.
Jiang Anyi slowly walked to the table, shook his sleeves and brushed off the dust on the chair and sat down. Zhang Bojin must have watched this book every day, and it should be in the house, or even at the table. But this book is very important, and Zhang Bojin will definitely not put it on the table casually, so where will he put it?
His hand groped along the four sides of the table. Jiang Anyi tapped his fingers and listened to the sound to see if there was any mechanism. The table was made of rosewood, with red light and flowers carved around him. The carvings on the outside had been damaged. Unfortunately, a good object was a good object.
Although the moonlight outside the house was weak, the decorations inside the house were clearly visible in Jiang Anyi's eyes. Jiang Anyi noticed that the carvings next to the chair were very bright and should have been rubbed often. He reached out to touch the carvings at the bottom of the table. Jiang Anyi looked happy and there was a bulge at the tentacles.
Jiang Anyi was lying on the ground and saw a secret box under the table. There was a button on the secret box. He reached out and pressed it. The front end of the secret box was flat, and there was a thick book inside. Take out the book, and the five words on the cover were "Li Ke Ji Yu Collection". Open it, and one by one was the article of Jinshi in the third grade of high school since Li Ke, with dense annotations next to it.
Jiang Anyi was overjoyed. With this book, his hope of getting the first place was a little bigger, but it was a big deal. Mr. Fan could not know, otherwise it would be light to scold him. Maybe the old man would expel him from the court in anger, which would be more than worth the loss.
The next morning, Jiang Anyi came to Qin Haiming. Since Zhang Bozhi and his son were imprisoned, Qin Haiming became alive again. He could not participate in this year's provincial examination, but it did not prevent Qin Haiming from making friends. Ren Xinghe, who ranked fourth in the Dezhou provincial examination, has become his inseparable friend and often eats and lives in the Qin family.
When Jiang Anyi came to the door, Qin Haiming was playing chess with Ren Xinghe in the study. He heard from the servant that a scholar named Jiang was looking for him. Qin Haiming felt nervous and had a ghost in his heart, for fear that Jiang Anyi would come to him.
Seeing that Qin Haiming looked wrong, Ren Xinghe smiled and said, "Brother Qin, what's wrong? Do you want me to help you get rid of it?"
Ren Xinghe was full of complacent ambitions during this period, and there were constant banquets between all and big. When officials in the palace saw him, they all smiled and greeted him with flattery. The sound of flattery was filled with mercy. His friend Qin Haiming took advantage of his actions and gave him a set of two-entry courtyards in Wenping Mansion. In early October, he moved to Wenping Mansion after marrying the daughter of Linquan County Magistrate. Every day, he was very proud of his fine wine and beautiful women.
Qin Haiming wanted someone to come out to block the mountain, and immediately said happily: "I'm willing to be a good brother."
Ren Xing and the slutty man were rude and wanted to repay the favors. They stood up and took a big bag and said, "Why are crazy people who dare to come to Qin's house to go wild? Ren must teach him a lesson for Brother Qin and make you vent your anger."
When the two of them arrived at the door, Qin Haiming took a step back and hurried behind the door. Ren Xinghe saw a scholar in green clothes standing in front of the door. Although he was dressed simply, he was majestic and indescribable literary talent. Qin Haiming complained secretly, Ren Xing was not as friendly as he was, and there was someone who dared to show off in front of him and looked more handsome than him. Isn’t this intentional slap me in the face?
Ren Xinghe took a step forward and shouted first: "Who are you? If you want to go to Qin's house, please ask your son Ren first."
Jiang Anyi was stunned. He saw the person who came with a burnt face, slightly black beard, and a little slanted shoulders. He looked like a vendor selling jewelry and jade utensils.
"Who are you? I'll talk to Qin Haiming about what's going on with you?"
Ren Xinghe took out a fan from his sleeve and opened it. He shook it gently twice as he thought he was graceful and said, "You don't even know me. You can just ask me on Wenping Mansion Street. Ren Xing and Mr. Ren are me."
Among the five guru, Jiang Anyi did not know Ren Xinghe. He laughed and said, "It turns out that he is the fourth place in the provincial examination in the current provincial examination. He has long admired him."
"Hmph, it's your young master." Ren Xinghe looked at Jiang Anyi with his eyes slanted. Seeing that Jiang Anyi's expression was still unchanged, he immediately became angry from his heart. He closed his fan and pointed to Jiang Anyi's nose, saying, "Bold dog talent, since you know the name of your young master, don't you get out of here."
Jiang Anyi was shocked. He heard that Ren Xinghe was just a child of the Han family before he passed the imperial examination. Why did he become such a face just now? Such a person will be an official herdsman in the future and will not know how the disabled people will be able to be prosperous for themselves.
"Young Master Ren is so majestic when he won the fourth place. If he had learned about Yuan, wouldn't Wenping Mansion not be able to tolerate you?"
Jiang Anyi was sarcastic, and Ren Xinghe became more and more angry and kicked Jiang Anyi. Jiang Anyi was not kicked by him. He turned around gently, and Ren Xinghe kicked him in a flash and fell forward. There was a step ahead, and he fell to the ground all of a sudden, his forehead hit the steps, and it was a red and swollen piece.
"Okay, you actually dare to beat a juren. Come on, grab this kid quickly, don't let him run away, send him to the official to question him." Ren Xinghe yelled while sitting on the ground.
When the servants of Qin's mansion heard the voice and wanted to help, Qin Haiming stopped quickly. It was him who was unable to get away with the matter. Qin Haiming came out of the door with a sad face, bowed to Jiang Anyi deeply, and said with a smile: "Young Master Jiang, Qin knows that he is sorry for you, but that is all Zhang Bojin's instigation. I have no grudges with you. As long as you are willing to let me go, Qin is willing to apologize for a large amount of money."
Ren Xinghe sat on the ground and was stunned. Why didn't Qin Haiming help him but outsiders? He asked quickly: "Brother Qin, who is this kid?"
Qin Haiming smiled bitterly and said, "He is Jiang Anyi, Jinke, Yuan."
"Ah", Ren Xinghe blushed and got up embarrassed to greet Jiang Anyi, so he left on his own.
