Chapter 74: Information about the middle school boy
The security in Beiting is pretty good. There were almost no dangers encountered on the way to Luochen Mountain. Apart from an unknown robbery by two thieves, there was nothing worth remembering.
Now, the two thieves who had been engaged in the trail-cutting business at the age of fourteen or fifteen were tied in front of the carriage. The reason why they were not chopped off with a single knife was not because Zhang Peng and Xu Wanyi had any sympathy, but because these two
The young man turned out to be from the small town at the foot of Luochen Mountain. When asked carefully, he said that he had a quarrel with the elders in his family, and out of anger, he made an appointment with his friends to leave the mountain village and explore the world together.
The carriages formed a circle, the veterans lined up to guard, Gao Gao and Gao Shi were lighting a fire and setting up a pot, while the Feng Yun brothers were standing guard all around.
The boy in the second grade of middle school got lost in college not long after he left home. The proud method of finding directions he learned from Jianghu story books was impossible to use in the snowy weather. However, he ate all the dry food in three days and endured it.
After being hungry for a long time, when they saw Zhang Peng's motorcade passing by, they rushed to the road to ask for help. Perhaps because the two men looked too frightened with their disheveled hair, they were mistaken for thieves.
"Dasheng, Dagen?" Zhang Peng was not surprised by the names of the two middle school boys. Such names are too common in this era. He held a cup of hot tea and sipped it one by one, thinking about something.
At that time, I tried to study the method of frying tea. Drinking plain water every day was too boring. "Why did you two leave Luochen Mountain in the heavy snow?"
Dasheng and Dagen were obviously in shock at this time. Perhaps they were suffering from hypothermia due to the cold. They huddled together around the fire to keep warm, and their reactions were a little slow.
"When I returned to County Ma Ye, I heard that a great Confucian scholar had recently arrived in Luming Town. Everyone called him Mr. Xiangyin. He opened an academy in Luming Town and recruited apprentices.
Wu Lian, regardless of family background, the two of us just want to try our luck, but I'm afraid if we go too late, we won't even have a chance."
"Mr. Xiangyin? A Confucian scholar?" Zhang Peng's eyes suddenly lit up, and then he turned to ask Xu Wanyi, who was roasting a leg of lamb, "Wanyi, do you know this Mr. Xiangyin?"
Xu Wanyi replied without hesitation: "A great scholar of Confucianism who rose to fame twenty years ago once lectured in Chang'an. His book "Annotations to the Sanchuan Classics" almost attracted the attention of Luoyang, and almost all the Confucian scholars in the world wanted to join his disciples. However,
He suddenly disappeared for unknown reasons, and I didn’t hear anything about him again until today.”
"Looking at your lack of interest, you seem to think this is fake news?" Zhang Peng knew Xu Wanyi quite well. With such a great scholar appearing in Beiting, the most appropriate state for her should be that of impatient.
If possible, she would even forcefully kidnap him back to Beiting City.
"This Mr. Xiangyin is different from Grandpa Qin. Even if he rejoins the world, he will not choose to be in Beiting because he has an irresolvable grudge with Beiting." Xu Wanyi carefully roasted her leg of lamb, as if this
A leg of mutton is much more important than any famous Confucian scholar. "His first disciple was the whole family that was executed by my father. It is said that Mr. Xiangyin loved his first disciple very much and treated him as his own son. You say you have such hatred?"
, why did he come to Beiting? Where is your condiment bottle? I know you brought it, hurry up and take it out."
Zhang Peng stood up quickly, took out two spice bottles from the pocket in front of him, and sprinkled some evenly on the lamb leg that Xu Wanyi was roasting. Immediately, an attractive aroma filled the area around the campfire.
"How did you two hear the news?" Zhang Peng was still a little unwilling to give up. He sat down again and continued to ask Dasheng and Dagen.
"Mr. Kaishi said it. He received a letter from Mr. Xiangyin a few days ago, inviting him to attend the ceremony at Luming." Dasheng's consciousness finally returned to normal from his daze, and his sense of smell also returned to normal. He looked at Xu Wanyi
The leg of lamb in my hand made my eyes wide open.
"What did Mr. Kaishi say?" Xu Wanyi suddenly became interested.
"After reading the letter, he made it clear that he would go. However, it is currently snowing heavily and it is inconvenient to travel. Fortunately, Mr. Xiangyin's opening lecture date is set for the spring after the new year. He is now preparing gifts for the ceremony," Dagen also said
Come to life and tell everything you know.
After listening, Zhang Peng and Xu Wanyi looked at each other.
Mr. Kaishi was exiled to Beiting because his uncle was convicted. He couldn't bear his uncle to die alone in Beiting, so he accompanied him all the way to Beiting.
In the year of 2016, I received a letter from Mr. Xiangyin right after my filial piety period. This is a bit of a coincidence.
The two of them were thinking about it when they suddenly heard Brother Fengyun returning from beating their horses. Shi Feng dismounted and said with a Yanzhou accent: "My lord, my lord, there is a group of people coming in front, claiming to be from Luochen Mountain. Come here."
Looking for the younger generation who ran away from home, my two brothers interrogated them and they were probably looking for Dasheng and Dagen."
The visitors were the elders of Dagen and Dasheng's families. Dasheng's family name was Wu, and Dagen's family name was Gong. They were hunters in the mountain village. They had been good friends for many years. The elders had obviously seen the world. When they saw the princess and the
Every etiquette performed by the Commander-in-Chief was extremely standard, and her speech was also polite and courteous, without even the slightest trace of a hunter. This made Zhang Peng very strange.
Seemingly sensing Zhang Peng's doubts, the elders of the two parents gave an explanation, saying that although they were illiterate, because Mr. Qishi settled in Luochen Mountain, all the children and teenagers in the town had been reading Qishi in recent years.
He grew up under the teachings of Mr. Shi, so under his influence the whole town respected etiquette.
As expected, he is worthy of being a famous person. He has subtly influenced the cultural quality of the entire Luochenshan Town. In later generations, he will definitely be an excellent education director or culture director. Moreover, Mr. Kaishi still sounds like the kind of person who does not care about the door.
People with a first-class background and no class prejudice. Beiting University must grab this kind of talent!
As for Mr. Xiangyin from Luming Town, although he is more famous, he sounds a bit evil no matter how you sound. His matter of sending out invitations seems not that simple. How long has it been since the announcement of the establishment of Beiting University was sent out? Lu Ming
The academy appeared right after, which made Zhang Peng suspect that Mr. Xiangyin simply came out to challenge the Protectorate.
The aftermath of the last investment conference has not been settled, is the road ahead now becoming confusing again?
"Wanyi, if Mr. Kaishi insists on going to Luming Town, what should we do?" Zhang Peng solemnly sought Xu Wanyi's opinion.
"He is a Confucian scholar who is over fifty years old. The road is bumpy, the journey is tiring, and he has to face the worry of bandits blocking the road. You and I can't see a professor from our university in trouble and remain indifferent," Xu Wanyi said very carefully.
