In late summer, thunderstorms suddenly came. Looking from the Forgetful Jingxuan in Tanzhe Temple located at Jinyun Peak of Miaofeng Mountain, the rain and fog are evaporated, the mountains and forests appear, and the scenery is charming.

Master Zhichen, the host of Tanzhe Temple, wore a gray monk's robe and looked like a master monk, playing chess with a middle-aged man in a brocade robe.

A few days ago, Shi Juyuan, a staff member of the Wu Wangfu, appeared in Wendao Academy, accompanied him. The long beard under his jaw was an extremely obvious sign, which was unforgettable at first sight. He had already gone to Wendao Academy to understand the printing of bronze and wooden characters.

On the east side of the Xuanzhong Middle School, a beautiful middle-aged woman was wearing a green smoke shirt, a pleated skirt with flowers, mist and green grass, looking at a solid and lively boy lovingly. The girl who was called by the boy was standing beside her mother, looking at the beautiful scenery of distant mountains and mists, rolling her eyes proudly, and tall.

The middle-aged man looked back at his son and smiled and said, "The master thought the bronze characters were better or the wooden characters were better?"

Master Zhichen clasped his hands together and said, "I can't use the bronze character in my temple. People with great wealth and courage are not allowed."

The middle-aged man laughed heartily. He was originally greedy for the beautiful scenery in the mountains and followed the repaired steps. The monk's words were very interesting. He did not mention a word, but pointed out the pros and cons.

Shi Juyuan, who had been with the King of Wu for some time, understood in his heart that His Highness made up his mind. It is said that the emperor intends to compile scriptures and print books to demonstrate the civilization.

After laughing, the King of Wu pointed to the sad and bleak rain outside the mountain and asked, "Master, can you tell me the truth?"

Master Zhichen's eyes drooped, his hands closed and said, "Amitabha! I have no words to tell you. I once saw a friend write a poem, which can be recorded with the prince."

Master Zhichen wrote down the "Ding Fengbo-Don't Listen to the Sound of Flying Leaves" that Jia Huan recited in front of him more than a month ago and presented it to the King of Wu.

The road to the foot of Tanzhe Temple has been completely repaired. From east to down the mountain, you can go directly to the outside of Dongzhuang Town, not far from Longquan Town. After the road is unobstructed, the incense in the temple is three points higher than before.

At this time, on the one hand, he could not do a good job and fool the powerful people in front of him, and on the other hand, he wanted to help Jia Huan become famous. The road was supported by the grain from Wendao Academy to complete the repair. A bottle of Shenglong Peiyuan Pill could not repay this favor.

…

Jia Huan didn't know about Master Zhichen's actions. He was too lazy to care about his fame now, and he would not worry about his debts. He had already returned from Wendao Academy to Ningguo Mansion on Ningrong Street, Sishifang, inner city of the capital.

On June 23, it was light rain and the morning light was dim, and the convoy of funerals in Ningguo Mansion began to leave the city. The grand funeral and the road festival scene once again appeared as in the original book when Qin Keqing was in the funeral. Four kings and eighth dukes, princes, and nobles arrived one by one. The sedan chairs and vehicles were placed three or four miles away.

Jia Huan followed the Jia family's funeral team in a low-key manner. In this situation, even if he did not annoy Jia Zheng, Jia Zheng would only introduce Baoyu to the noble elders. This was paving the way for the legitimate son Baoyu.

Although Jia Huan's reputation is famous, talented and talented, he is known as a child prodigy in the capital. However, his fame and fortune are just a child. His social status is low. It is difficult to mention on such occasions.

Jia Huan didn't care about these things. He rode the tamed old horse, drizzled with light rain, and slowly followed the team. Along the way, the colorful sheds were high, and the music was played with music, the lights were bright, and the inscriptions were raised high. When he left the inner city, the rules were a little relaxed. The team headed towards the Tiekan Temple, the Jia family temple in the west of the city.

Jia Huan thought in his mind that when the old classmates gathered in Wendao Academy two days later, several wealthy children slowly rode over to accompany Jia Huan. The person in charge was Feng Ziying, who had not seen for a long time. After saying hello, he introduced his friends around him.

Feng Ziying has a handsome appearance, with a little more pleasant temperament than a young man like Jia Lian. The handsome young man in white who is more handsome than Feng Ziying is called Wei Ruolan. The handsome man with a national face on the left is Chen Yejun. The obese man outside is Han Qi, the son of Jinxiang.

Jia Huan greeted several people politely. Among these people, it was obvious that Han Qi had the highest status. But what Jia Huan actually thought was not that way. He was more interested in the other two. Wei Ruolan was said to be Shi Xiangyun's "talented and beautiful woman", and Chen Yejun was said to be somewhat involved with Miaoyu.

Before leaving the Jia Mansion, he planned to remind Shi Xiangyun: Don’t marry Wei Ruolan, a short-lived man. That girl really treats him as a friend.

Jia Huan wanted to achieve fame and honor in the imperial examinations, in order to improve his situation in the Jia family. After gaining fame, it was easier to do business and make money and go back to business. He did not expect that after killing Jia Zhen, his wealth would soar. It seemed completely unnecessary to operate a business. His funds were enough for him to get a legal fake identity, travel expenses, and the capital to make a comeback in the future.

But he didn't have much to do in the Jia family. Apart from Shi Xiangyun's matter, he needed to see Baochai and advised her not to marry Baoyu. This is a very trash man. The powerful and powerful family in the capital is not the only one of the Jia family. He is just a nobleman of medium power.

The second thing is that he wants to settle the general account with Wang Xifeng. He suppressed him so ruthlessly! By the way, he wants to kill Wang Xifeng's companion Lai Wang to avoid the girl Caixia being strongly dominated by Lai Wang's son.

The third thing is that he wants to leave clues and passwords for Zhao Guoji, Qian Huai or other trustworthy people to help him come back to pick up Tanchun and Aunt Zhao in a few years. He must follow the right time point. Tanchun is going to marry far away. God knows that her marriage was given that day.

After all, he actually had nothing to do in the capital. He left the Jia Mansion next year and was not far away. The most important thing now is this year's Qiubo Competition. Then he returned to the Jia Mansion as a Juren and finished all his hands and tails in a crushing manner.

However, if he concealed the truth and left secretly, he felt a little guilty towards the classmates, friends and teachers in the academy. The world is far away, and I don’t know if everyone will see each other again in the future!

…

On June 27th, the beginning of autumn has passed. The autumn is coming at the foot of Miaofeng Mountain. At noon, the second floor of the Scholar's Restaurant at the intersection of Dongzhuang Town was booked. Talks and laughter are coming one after another.

Qiao Rusong, Pang Ze and five others rushed back to Wendao Academy yesterday to participate in the Shuntian Prefecture Scientific Experiment held in Shuntian Prefecture Scholarship on the second day of July. Shatixue placed the Shuntian Prefecture Scholarship on this day. The old disciples of Wendao Academy gathered here.

Jia Huan also returned to Dongzhuang Town yesterday. Today, he met Qiao Rusong, Pang Ze and others. He sat in the middle and talked to everyone. There were more than 180 old disciples in the academy. The eldest brother Gongsun Liang all gave invitations. But not everyone was willing to come. This is the same as when classmates gather after graduation.

The restaurant has demolished the partitions and turned into a large banquet hall-like venue. There are twenty tables. Some students gathered at the round table to chat, while some students were laughing at the railings on the second floor. More students were forming two circles, listening to Qiao Rusong, Pang Ze and others talking about their life in Zunhua.

Qiao Rusong wore a light blue straight-fitting body. After his experience, his demeanor became more and more calm. He told his classmates an experience, "We are all disciples of the mountain captain, so we are naturally unobstructed in the governor's yamen. But those minor officials will also make bad things. One thing in front of us and another behind us. Fortunately, Pang Shiyuan knew arithmetic, so the name of the punishment was considered fooled."

As they were talking, the tall, dark Qin Hongtu, the bearded Yi Junjie, and the weak white-faced scholar Du Hong came in together.

Someone joked: "Wow! General, Commander of the Jinyiwei, and Minister of Revenue are here."

Everyone laughed enthusiastically. Qin Hongtu was born in a hunter family and was responsible for the escort team during disaster relief, which was considered a military position, but he was actually a very handsome person. He was admitted to the inner room with Jia Huan and his level of classics was very good.

Yi Junjie has always been the "inquiry" of the academy. He is responsible for intelligence work during disaster relief. Jia Huan asked his team to monitor the dynamics of all disaster victims at any time and report them immediately if there is any problem. Isn't the commander of the Jinyiwei just an open and secret investigation?

Du Hong is now fully responsible for the Xianheng Trading Company and the support of the academy. He is doing the work of the Minister of the Ministry of Revenue.

Of course, this is a joke, just a joke, so everyone laughed happily and remembered the glorious years of the past.

Yi Junjie smiled and said, "What are Brother Qiao talking about?"

Jia Huan, Luo Xiangyang, Qiao Rusong, Xu Yinglang, Zhang Sishui, and Pang Ze all gave up their seats to the three of them with a smile. Qiao Rusong talked back to the topic just now.

Pang Ze suggested: "Ziyu, I am thinking of offering courses such as engineering, arithmetic, and criminal name in the academy. In this way, we will not cheat people when we go out."

Classmates and friends gathered together. Jia Huan is in a great mood now. He still had the feeling of parting a few days ago. At this moment, he didn't expect that there would be a suggestion for division of subjects immediately. He smiled and said, "When Mr. Ye comes later, I will tell Mr. Ye. In addition, Liu Yichen will also recommend several teachers and veteran officials to be assistant teachers."

As soon as Jia Huan finished speaking, he heard laughter from outside the door, "Head of the Courtyard, what do you want to recommend?" He happened to see Yao Wei, Liu Yichen and Ji Cheng coming in from outside the door together.

A classmate smiled and said, "This is a coincidence. Cao Cao will arrive when he arrives." Everyone gave Yao Wei, Liu Yichen, and Ji Cheng into it.

Another laughed and said, "There is no position in the court responsible for propaganda. Which expert brother has given Brother Yao an official position?"

Yao Weiren is a beautiful and ordinary person with a very thoughtful appearance. He once told Jia Huan that he should not be afraid of managing business as a scholar. During the disaster relief, he was in charge of the propaganda team with Han Xiucai. He was silent and highly valued by Jia Huan. Now he is one of the heads of Xianheng Trading Company.

Liu Yichen was born into a family of officials in Daxing County. He was a deputy to Luo Xiangyang for disaster relief and was responsible for the custody of food. Ji Cheng, a few years younger, was still a soldier at that time.

While talking lively, the voice of senior brother Gongsun Liang came from outside the door, "Ha, who is the official position on it?" As he spoke, he saw Gongsun Liang, Ye Hongyun, and Wu Shuolang coming in.

The eldest brother is dressed in white, with a slender figure, a handsome face as if he is as beautiful as a jade, and a beautiful and handsome as a handsome man. He smiles like a spring breeze. He is gentleman, gentle as jade. He is handsome than Zhou Lang in the Three Kingdoms.

It turned out that the group of people who were familiar with Nei She and Gongsun Liang were explaining the topic, and then they started to make a fuss together. The eldest brother had a rumor that he was "a beautiful woman" in the academy. However, the eldest brother had two people killed at Mr. Longjiang's Yixing Villa that day, and his face had already become thick-skinned.

Mr. Ye smiled gently, telling the disciples not to treat each other and to be at will.

Wu Shanlang smiled. These disciples are the essence of the academy, and I really envy their youth! I don’t know where they can go in the future? Even if the imperial examinations are not going well, Xianheng Trading Company will grow sooner or later. His eyes fell on Jia Huan. This is the person who leads Qunlun.

Everyone laughed and joking.

On the Shuyuan Street in Dongzhuang Town, three horses came slowly with small steps. The sound of horse hooves hit the bluestone slabs on the street, which was very rhythmic. The sweat beads on the horse's body showed that the three of them had just passed the car (horse).

A young man in the lead lifted his robe and turned over and got off the horse. His lips were red and white, his face was handsome, and he was wearing a jade-colored Confucian shirt. He described it as difficult to draw. He attracted the attention of many passers-by.

The classmate standing on the railing chatted in surprise, "The Prodigy of Wei is here!"

The classmates in the second floor hall all looked at Gongsun Liang inquired. Gongsun Liang smiled and said, "I sent an invitation to Wei Prodigy." As he said, he asked Jia Huan with a smile, "Junior Brother Jia, why are you saying that?"

Jia Huan smiled and said, "The winner in life!"

Wei Dantong has a good family background (from the grandson of the second-rank governor), has good grades (scholar in the middle of the 1911 year), and is handsome. It is not an exaggeration to call him "winner in life".

Everyone laughed and was full of energy. No matter how praise was, it was actually a joke.

Because: the classmate is young, in his prime, and the scholar is full of energy, he is very proud, he points out the country, and inspires his words, and is a marquis of thousands of households back then.
