Chapter 679: The Enemy Meets

Nowadays, Xing Ming had nowhere to hide. When colleagues in the guard learned about this, they came to inquire about it, some came to make connections, some came to ask Xia Yuanji to write lyrics, and even some actors came to visit in person, insisting on meeting this "noble man".

Xia Yuanji was frustrated. He was indeed a gentleman and did not have so many sleekness. Although he was in charge of the country, he also had a cunning side. However, he came with a smile, although he refused and refused, but he was still a little overwhelmed. Some clerks and even doctors in the guard made fun of him, saying that he was now the "top minister" in the flower building, and I don't know how many people were worried about him.

This is the most fatal thing. The three words "Zhuangyuan Gong" are really a great insult to Xia Yuanji's identity. Although he is a minor official, he was still a tribe and a gentleman after all. It is hard to look up with this Hualou Theater, but it is just a kind joke that Xia Yuanji cannot have an attack.

People will always get used to it gradually. Gradually, although Xia Yuanji is still right, he is not cold or hot, but he still has some sweet things he has been asking for. Occasionally, if any poems are available, they will be sent to print them, and they will also be given money there, so he feels at ease.

But after a few months, he really scared him. Before he knew it, he saved nearly a thousand taels of silver. This thousand taels of silver is definitely not a small amount for his clean and honest tribe. This is because he is not keen on this. If he really put his energy into writing poetry, it would be no problem to do it a few more times. It seems that Lang Shan is rich in the world, and it seems that this is true. No wonder Lang Shan is full of the atmosphere of poetry and songs. Even a few poor colleagues have to put in a few words in their spare time in their official business. After all, it is still the yellow and white thing that has worked.

Xia Yuanji suddenly felt ridiculous. Whether it was the court or the sages, they advocated education. However, after so many years of education, they have not seen any effect. Those who should be foolish are still ignorant. Those who do not know the eyes still do not know the eyes. Scholars study only for a stepping stone. What does it have to do with education? On the contrary, Lang Shan has been tempted by profit, but it has not only become a success.

Here, there is a very strong reading atmosphere. Xia Yuanji rarely meets Bai Ding during the trip. Even when he walks on the street, he meets some peddlers, and he also reads a book with a book. Of course, those books are mostly just some miscellaneous and unofficial history. However, people read and read with relish. Some people shake their heads and memorize the Four Books and Five Classics, most of whom are dissatisfied with the status quo and hope to read more books in their spare time to find a good way out for themselves in the future.

It is lively during the day and even more lively at night. Not far from Weili, there is a Zhennan Street. At night, it is brightly lit and there are all kinds of food. On the long street that lasts several miles, there are snacks from all over the place, and it is extremely authentic. It is probably because the people who come here to find a way out are from Jiangsu and Zhejiang, Sichuan, Guizhou, Guangdong and Guangxi, etc. Not only that, there are also great people, Japanese people, Siam, Luzon, Foqi and even Kunlun slaves. Everyone gathers here. Now the food harvest is good, so many people use their own skills to make specialties from their hometowns to sell them. Therefore, there are hundreds of kinds of cakes, all of which are clamoring along the street to attract customers.

There is hot flash at night, so many people sleep late, and many people work during the day and can't help but get hungry at night. Therefore, they can't help but invite some friends. They find a short stool and sit down at this stall. When the vendor makes various fried and fried foods, they naturally have wine, from south to north, and even the sake of Japanese people. When everyone gets together, although there is more oil, they don't care. They eat snacks, drink wine, tell jokes and experiences, and there are many things like alarmist, and they can't help bragging, but they are also extremely comfortable.

Xia Yuanji was invited several times, but later he earned money and was reasonable and had to ask for it back. So he would also invite people. After a while, he could not live without such a market life. Otherwise, at night, he would get hungry and have no intention of sleeping, and he would feel extremely uncomfortable. Gradually, he would come out every day, either with his colleagues, or with a few friends he knew, from officials to peddlers and pawns. He even knew some.

After contacting these people, Xia Yuanji was a taciturn person at first. The so-called gentleman cherishes his words as gold, but gradually, he could even tell a few jokes to the vendors and complain a few times after slighting slap.

Today they were looking for a stall from Jiangxi, eating tofu and a few dishes of fennel, and they taught people to cook a pot of porridge and half a jar of yellow wine. They were all from Jiangxi, some of whom were doing business, and there was also a scholar with the surname Yang, with a single name and a Jing character. This Yang husband failed to do his job and failed the exam, so he became ruthless and simply left his hometown. He was originally recommended by a fellow villager and went to a prefect of Guangxi to be a guest of the temple. As a result, he was very unhappy there.

The family only used him because of the inconvenience of favors. He was lukewarm to him. He heard that Lang San was good here, so he came. Now he taught in a school. He had a good salary and was very leisurely. However, he is a hard-core Chen Xuedang. In fact, he is not optimistic about his academic performance with Xia Yuanji. He only respects Xia Yuanji's moral character, so he is willing to have a deep relationship with him. In his words, this is called a gentleman but different. No matter whether you agree with me or not, everyone is their own master and rarely talks about academic affairs.

Xia Yuanji also liked him because he was quite honest and sincere in dealing with others. He gradually tried to grudge Shan. He often forgot about his affairs in the court, but instead liked Lang Shan's life. Although he sometimes lamented a few words about his own encounters, he sometimes felt that he was Tao Yuanming. Tao Yuanming was hidden among the mountains and forests, and he was hidden in the city, enjoying the joy of the world.

After drinking a few glasses of yellow wine, Yang Jing blushed and couldn't help but talk about the things in the school, saying that a student didn't work hard, and also said that he found a poor family, and was determined to make progress. If he did well at the end of the year, he would find a way to recommend him to take the Chen Academy. If he failed the exam, Lang San Academy would be successful.

Xia Yuanji talked about his official affairs, and before he knew it, he talked about the coastal defense.

There were four or five people on the table, whether they were studying or merchants, and they became eager to talk about the coastal defense. Yang Jing couldn't help but say, "It is said that it was summoned by the palace. The coastal defense immediately went to Beijing to meet him. The Marquis of the Capital had arrived in Liangshan and were lingering for a few days. I was afraid that I would go north. Oh, I don't think it would be a good thing."

Xia Yuanji smiled: "How can I tell this?"

Xia Yuanji was impeached by Hao Fenglou and ended up like this. But now, he is in a complicated mood towards Hao Fenglou. Sometimes he thinks that without Hao Fenglou, there would be no Lang Shan. Without Lang Shan, there would not be so many people who have enough food and clothing, no people who study, and no people who work day after day, sitting on this bustling long street, lanterns are continuous for miles, and countless vendors and peddlers are selling along the street. Everyone sits here comfortably, while satisfying their desires and enjoying such ease.

Yang Jing sneered and said, "How can I see? Husband Xia is a noble man. Do you still need to provoke these words? This is true that the Marquis made great contributions, but the wood is fascinated by the forest and the wind will destroy it. Do the matter here still need to be explained?"

Xia Yuanji just stroked his beard and smiled without saying a word. He also had a premonition. He was afraid that this time, Hao Fenglou entered Beijing and was just a matter of settlement. But he couldn't tell who was settled with whom. The court fought against each other, and it seemed that academic disputes were a fight for the throne. In fact, to put it bluntly, it was a battle of authority. No matter who was facing, the situation was not very optimistic.

To put it bluntly, this is not the case. The people of Lang Son fight against those of Jiangsu and Zhejiang in terms of lifestyles, habits and interests. If some win, there will be no Lang Son. If some lose, it will be possible to promote Lang Son's lifestyle.

Which side did he stand on? Xia Yuanji couldn't explain it clearly. He always felt that the books of sages he had read must be wrong. However, many lovely people and cute things made him suddenly feel a little hard to let go. This inexplicable feeling made him laugh. He is just a criminal now, and now he is a minor official, and he is really ineligible to care about this.

He picked up the wine and ate a glass. The merchant next to him was excited to talk to Yang Jing. It was nothing more than saying that the new benevolent government of Duke Lu Guo’s mansion had recently been made. After the capture of Siam, business improved. Yang Jing also muttered: "Now many schools have been built in Siam. There are many husbands in my school that they are clamoring to teach in Siam. Everbright our Chen Xue. To be honest, I have the same intention. Although Lang San is good, people have to find some useful things to do. I usually teach students, how can I do it myself..."

As he was talking, a carriage came over. Near the carriage, there were four or five soldiers in fish suits. At the moment, these soldiers were from the Shenji Guard. When the carriage stopped, someone stepped down on a high stool. The man looked beautiful and beautiful, wearing a round-necked gown with a slender figure, making him handsome and upright. Everyone couldn't help but look at him, but Xia Yuanji was stunned. He recognized the person - Hao Fenglou.

Xia Yuanji never expected that he would meet this 'long enemy' in this way in such a way. He looked at this guy deeply. Hao Fenglou did not show the extraordinary pride of the winner, but came over with a few guards full of vigilance, and then came to Xia Yuanji, clasped his fists and saluted: "Xiabutang, let's go for several months, are you okay?"
