Sheng Fu

Chapter 357 Occasional Essentials
Chenya County is rich in iron ore, the finances are good, the folk customs are simple, the people's wisdom is fair, the people respect literature and martial arts, even the rich and powerful are rarely exposed to extravagance.

Or because of the rich iron ore, there are few scholars here who show off their knowledge and talk about it.

The collection of books in Chenya Bookstore is not rich, and there are very few essential knowledge and principles. However, for a person who is not very knowledgeable, this is a good place to find books.

Among them, there are mainly articles written by human geography and local literati, and occasionally there are essential unpopular books.

The bookstore is not too big or small, with more than [-] bookcases, each of which has no room to spare, and certain types of books are even covered with a not-so-thin layer of dust, exuding the fragrance of books.

The manager of the bookstore is a man in his fifties. He wears a gray robe and his long hair is coiled up. If there are no customers, he will just study books silently at the counter. If the shopkeeper doesn't have much ink in his stomach, he doesn't know how to talk to the guests when they come.

If you are not careful, you will lose the grade. The so-called doing what you do and loving what you do.

Reading a lot may not necessarily increase profound knowledge, but it is better than not reading.

He didn't know the identity of the simple young man reading the book at the moment, he just regarded him as an ordinary child from a bad family background who wanted to get involved in learning.

Not far from Chenya Bookstore, there is a teahouse called Tiehualou. There are two sculptures of iron trees standing in the courtyard. The fragrance of tea floats out of the building.

There are quite a lot of vacancies in the building, and most of the people who come here to drink tea are wealthy idlers who don't want to listen to women's nagging at home. Their backgrounds include gang veterans and businessmen, and their knowledge is not deep, but better than usual common people.

On the west side of the third floor, you can see the front of Chenya Bookstore after opening the window.

Two men and two women are tasting the highest quality iron flower tea here, the tea fragrance is floating in the house, or because of the name of iron flower, the tea fragrance in the house is a bit heavy.

The men are two middle-aged men, dressed in brocade clothes, with good manners.

The woman was a middle-aged woman, and a young woman who was not at the table. She covered her face with a light veil, only her eyes and forehead were exposed, but her eyes and forehead were not fully visible. Behind the veil, she should be a beautiful woman.

Liang Han raised his teacup and smiled slowly: "A young man from a bad background always thinks that one day he will put a beautiful girl on the couch, wear brocade clothes and jade belts, and ride a tall horse for a long trip."

"But these things are just in my mind."

Liang Fu was a little suspicious and said: "But that simple boy was once voiced by Pu Weiqing and Gu Yong. After following the head of Ba Gu, he has seen a lot of worlds, and perhaps he has also seen a lot of fair girls."

"Brother's words, you must have underestimated that guy."

The middle-aged woman in a long blue dress drank tea silently and listened quietly.

Liang Han smiled and said: "Because of this, he yearns for certain things more in his heart. After being from a poor family, he is fortunate to be appreciated by important people. For the sake of longevity, he will naturally put on a posture of being of good moral character and not being moved by external things."

"Standing up the facade and keeping yourself clean, it's actually very itchy in your heart."

"If he is really a person of impeccable moral character, how could he still accept the cultivation method given to him by Lord Yuwen in the past?"

"There is nothing wrong with people having seven emotions and six desires. If you are not tempted by alcohol and sex, life will be tasteless."

Those high-ranking people always have some shameful things in private. Yu Wenjun is noble enough to take care of the children of the poor family and fight against the rich and powerful, but he still took away the most beautiful oiran in the imperial capital. Now I don’t know where the oiran went. I have already passed through the clouds and rains and tasted the bliss.

Liang Fu said to the middle-aged woman: "He is a little simple, but he is also a general star. If you thank Master Lianhua to bring the saint over here in person, I will remember this favor and will repay it double in the future."

The status of the Lotus Sect in the northern practice world is not high or low. There is no strong person in the sect who has broken the limit, and its suzerain is only in the early stage of breaking the limit. Of course, as a practice sect, the Lotus Sect is by no means weak.

Although the combat power is not extremely strong, the disciples in the sect, regardless of gender, are all good-looking, and they are extremely pleasing to the eye. Apart from the practice, they have cultivated piano, chess, calligraphy and painting since childhood, and learned righteousness.

In terms of knowledge alone, the Lotus Sect can be regarded as a powerful party in the northern practice world.

The current saintess Qiuyu, who cultivated at the early stage of Huangting, is not weaker in learning and righteousness than the disciples of Bailu Academy or Nanling Academy. The price of raising a generation of saints is no less than that of poor parents who have worked hard to support their children. That heartache is heavy.

Sect Master Lianhua said softly: "As a general, he is quite masculine and fierce, but he can also sharpen my family Qiuyu."

Qiu Yu, who covered her face with a light veil, bowed slightly and left the room, taking lotus steps to Chenya Bookstore.

Zhang Benchu ​​put down the geographical records in his hand, picked up a copy of "Guangqiu Chapter" from the bookcase, and read it. Unlike geographical records, the essence of "Guangqiu Chapter" was revealed from the beginning.

It is different from Confucian classics. It does not deliberately emphasize meritorious service, establish virtue, and establish words, and it is not as illusory as Taoism.

The book is supplemented by human feelings and sophistication, which coincides with the growth law of all things in the world.

There is no explicit emphasis on how to behave and do things, which is a bit hazy. The theory alone is not profound. For ordinary people, it is enough to enlighten people's wisdom. It is simple and true, but it can withstand careful scrutiny.

Zhang Benchu's knowledge is not deep, but he came from Bailu Academy after all, so he can still tell whether books are useful or not.

Thinking of drinking and eating grilled chicken with Xu Huanshan last night, I felt grateful. Sure enough, as Mr. Xu said, the books in the bookstore still sometimes have the essence.

In a trance, Zhang Benchu ​​smelled a young girl's body fragrance. Out of the corner of his eye, he glanced at the counter, and a graceful woman covered with a light gauze came. She was dressed in a long silk skirt and walked calmly. She looked like a lady. style.

He didn't look much, and began to immerse himself in the book as soon as the transfer was completed.

If you look at it more, it will appear very impolite.

After Qiu Yu came in, he started flipping through the first bookcase, glanced at it briefly, and then put it back on the bookcase.

I screened them one by one, and didn't deliberately go to Zhang Benchu's place. After screening for about a stick of incense, I went to the next door to Zhang Benchu, with a counter between them.

As it got closer, the girl's body fragrance became more and more intrusive.

When fighting in the Demon Realm, he was used to smelling blood and blood, but now in the bookstore, there is both the smell of books and the scent of a girl, making this simple young man in the countryside of Nanjun feel as if he has passed away.

He didn't waver, and he was still reading his own "Guangqiu Pian", but he was fascinated by reading the book.

After being silent for half an hour, Zhang Benchu ​​had finished reading the book in his hand, and started to read it again. Most of the books were the products of literati showing off their knowledge, and there was no real material. After screening, he didn't like any of them.

Coincidentally, Qiu Yu also finished watching, and the two walked out at the same time, and met unexpectedly at the corner.

A faint scent of flowers rushed towards his face, Zhang Benchu ​​was in a trance for a moment, then quickly lowered his head and said: "I didn't pay attention for a while, I disturbed the girl, I hope the girl will forgive me."

Qiu Yu said softly: "It's okay, it's also my fault that I didn't pay attention for a while, and I was thinking about the contents of the book just now."

Zhang Benchu ​​slightly moved out of the way, showing thoughtful and subtle etiquette.

Qiu Yu showed kind eyes and said softly, "Thank you."

Immediately, Qiu Yu went to another bookcase, Zhang Benchu ​​turned around and went to the edge bookcase, the two of them silently sifted through the books in tacit understanding.

Unknowingly, at noon, Qiu Yu walked out of the bookstore one step at a time, and disappeared into the vast sea of ​​people with small lotus steps.

Zhang Benchu ​​rubbed his eyes. The books he read today are not bad, but he can cultivate a negligible literary spirit.

When it was time for dinner, Zhang Benchu ​​walked out of the bookstore and went to a noodle restaurant. There was a big bowl of scallion oil noodles and two dishes of seasonal side dishes. He was enjoying life when he was away from home.

I plan to read the useful books in the bookstore today, and then continue to go south to another county to continue reading books.

Mr. Yuwen asked him to write a travelogue. The more books he read, the writing would be smoother. Although Yuwenjun didn’t say it clearly, Zhang Benchu ​​knew that this travelogue was very important. It is pattern.

It will directly affect the future. Some techniques seem random, but in fact they are extremely important.

According to the current progress, after January, it is time to go to Henglong Mountain. I remembered that I had read a lot of books on the road. I was a little excited at first.

The talent of a general has never been the courage of a man.

From the bottom of his heart, he envied Mr. Yuwen very much, because he was both civil and military. He taught him to read and write, and taught him some simple knowledge and principles.

Once some things are understood, the pattern of vision will be improved.

Enlightenment is often only a moment, and this moment requires a long accumulation. If an expert guides the way, this moment does not need a long accumulation.

The reason why the children of aristocratic families are better than those of poor families is that they monopolize knowledge and have expert guidance.

After dinner, Zhang Benchu ​​returned to the bookstore, and as soon as he came in, he saw the girl with a light veil standing beside the bookcase where he was before, picked up "Guangqiu Pian", and vaguely realized something in his heart.

This girl is a learned girl.

Zhang Benchu ​​originally wanted to say hello, but he was so shy that he couldn't get the words out of his mouth.

Qiu Yu suddenly glanced at Zhang Benchu, and said softly, "I thought you would never come back after you left. It seems that you have also traveled here and came here to read books."

Zhang Benchu ​​made a slight bow and said, "Miss Huiyan, it is true."

Qiu Yu said: "In the seventh bookcase there is a copy of "Cold Times" and in the third counter there is a copy of "Zhongde Lingsu". They are actually not bad and worth reading."

After hearing this, Zhang Benchu ​​felt a little warmth in his heart, nodded his thanks and said, "Thank you for your guidance, Miss."

Qiu Yu smiled and said: "It's okay, it's also fate to meet by chance and to do the same thing at the same time."

Zhang Benchu ​​smiled honestly, and then went to the seventh counter to read "Cold Times Chapter".

Inexplicably, I feel that my luck has improved.

As the saying goes, the first time is familiar and the second time is familiar. After an hour, the two put down their books and met again at the corner.

Looking at each other and smiling, Qiu Yu smiled and said, "Have you finished reading?"

Zhang Benchu ​​nodded and said: "Well, I have gained something, but not much."

Qiu Yu knew the quality of the books here, and through Zhang Benchu's words, Qiu Yu also roughly judged how much ink Zhang Benchu ​​had in his stomach.

Qiu Yu smiled and said: "I plan to go to the imperial capital. There are many bookstores in the imperial capital. The books there should be good. I wonder where you want to go next?"

Zhang Benchu ​​said truthfully: "All the way to the south, speaking of it, we can still make a trip or two along the way."

Qiu Yu said implicitly: "Compared to traveling far away to see the world, you and I have the artistic conception of having a confidant in a distant place. Since we are on the way for a while, why not join hands together, exchange knowledge and experience on the road, and we can take care of each other."

Zhang Benchu's heart sank, meeting such a girl here, and it was such a coincidence, he couldn't help feeling suspicious in his heart, he had a keen sense, this girl also had Huang Ting's cultivation, and her killing power was not strong, but her true energy in her body was as soft as water, and there was nothing between her brows. The sultry air leaked out, she should be a good girl.

He couldn't seem to find a reason to refuse this proposal.

After thinking about it, this journey to the south is destined to not be peaceful, twists and turns are common, if it is too smooth, the journey to the south will lose the meaning of experience, Zhang Benchu ​​nodded and agreed to this proposal.
