Dao fruit.

"Dongdu?"

Qiu Yan was even more puzzled, and couldn't help asking: "What does Xingtan talk about Taoism have to do with Dongdu?"

Na Jizheng replied: "This apricot forum discussion is not just today, but it just appeared because of the imminent arrival of the Da Rui Ge Ding. In this world of great controversy, which school in the world does not want to participate? Just ask me to be the one." People from the Eastern Capital, that's why you need to go to the Eastern Capital, and by then, you will naturally know how to discuss the Tao."

"A world of great controversy?" Qiu Yan narrowed his eyes, his thoughts fluctuating, "This person came suddenly, and the words he said were also abrupt, like playing a charade, but..."

Thinking of this, he asked, "I don't know who is the person who entrusted Mr.? Can you tell me?"

Ji Zheng smiled and said, "I knew you would ask that question, but it's not convenient for me to say it. When you get to Dongdu, you will naturally know."

Speaking of this, he suddenly glanced at Qiu Yan's whole body, and then said: "In addition, there is one more thing to remind you. If you go to Dongdu, you might as well study among the people." There is a sense of seriousness, "I don't know the sufferings of the people, and I can't write articles that reach people's hearts. How can I be famous all over the world?"

"Oh?" Hearing this, Qiu Yan's eyelids twitched slightly, and when he went to look at Ji Zheng again, the seriousness on Ji Zheng's face was gone, replaced by a smile.

"Okay, I have already said what should be said and what should not be said, and one more thing at the end. If you want to go or study abroad, you'd better leave as soon as possible. If it's too late, I'm afraid you will get involved in unnecessary disputes .”[

As he spoke, the man crossed his arms and bowed to Qiu Yan, Zhang Yunling and the others: "Ji will bid farewell."

After saying that, she flung her sleeves and left calmly. Even that Zhang Yunling didn't dare to speak casually to persuade her to stay, but just rushed to see her off with a cautious look.

"Walk among the people?"

Looking at the back of the other party going away.Qiu Yan remained silent, but thinking about it in his heart, he finally laughed: "If this person hadn't reminded me, I almost forgot about this, humane and humane, it is indeed indispensable, well, it's time to leave."

At this time, Zhang Zhen came up and asked in a low voice with curiosity: "My dear brother, that Ji was entrusted by someone? Who can drive the disciples of Xingtan, do you have someone in mind?"

Qiu Yan shook his head and said, "I don't have a clue either, I should only find out when I get to Dongdu."

Hearing this, Zhang Zhen was taken aback for a moment, and then said: "So, Brother Xian is planning to go?"

"That's right." Qiu Yan nodded, then looked at Zhang Zhen and asked. "How? Brother Zhang, do you want to go with me?"

Zhang Zhen shook his head regretfully: "How can I go? I still have to study at home. The instructions you gave me are really amazing. According to the method on it, I can get twice the result with half the effort. After reading it, my father appreciated it even more. Ask me not to disclose it at will. Please rest assured, my brother, about this."

Qiu Yan was not too surprised when he heard this: "Stay here to study? That's fine, after three years. Brother Zhang will definitely be able to go to high school."

Zhang Zhen shook his head with a smile, then skipped the topic and asked directly: "By the way, when is my brother going to leave?"

Qiu Yan replied: "Since that Jizheng reminded me, I don't intend to delay. Naturally, the sooner the better, I will leave for the north when I attend Brother Luo's wedding."

"That's only two days away."

Qiu Yan nodded and smiled, "That's right, Brother Luo will definitely have difficulty leaving home, but I can ask Zhou Guan."

Zhang Zhen looked longingly: "I really envy others. It seems that I have to study hard in the past three years, and I will go to find you sooner." But there was not much self-pity in his words. [

After leaving Zhang's mansion, Qiu Yan went to Pan's mansion to visit his aunt first, and then returned home.

Originally, Pan Xiang, the second young master of the Pan Mansion, wanted to get acquainted with Qiu Yan after the provincial examination, but then news came from the court that an important member of the New Party was pleading for him, so he left in a hurry, of course there was no time Communicating with Qiu Yan, this matter ended.

Two days later, Qiu Yan packed his bags, bid farewell to his uncle's family, took Hu Qi and Dai Guo, and headed east with the Zhang family's carriage.

Luo Jiayun's native place belongs to Jiannan Dao Rongzhou Mansion, and this Rongzhou Mansion is located to the east of Yuanning Mansion.

The Luo family village where the Luo family is located is not big, and most of them belong to the clan, so the wedding is very lively——Luo Jiayun has now won the Juren, and his status in the Luo clan has greatly increased, so there are naturally many people coming to this wedding.

Qiu Yan and the others were Luo Jiayun's friends, and they also helped out when they arrived, carrying vases, flower candles, lighting stands and other things, and then the hired music officials preached and led the flower load to the woman's house.

The girl's family is not far from Luo's house, and she is a foreigner who moved here more than ten years ago, but her father left early, so she was engaged to Luo's family very early, and she has been helping Luo Jiayun, and together with Luo Jiayun's mother, Luo Jiayun's education.

When they arrived at the bride's house, the family followed the rules and regulations of Hong Yindie and Lishi Qianhui. There was a music officer in front of her to urge her to make up. When the time came, the bride would play music together and return to her husband's house.

Before entering the door, someone took a flower bucket and scattered grain and beans at the door, and there were always children fighting happily...

"It's so lively, it's indeed one of the three great joys in life." Seeing such a scene, Zhang Zhen couldn't help but praise.

Zhou Guan on the side smiled and said: "If brother Zhang is envious, you can get married as soon as possible."

"No way, in two years' time, it's up to you to eat my wedding wine." Zhang Zhen was not polite, as he said, several friends joked with each other.

The bride was led to the shadow hall, where there were portraits of the ancestors of the Luo family, incense, wine, and dishes, and Luo's mother stood in the hall wearing a skirt.

Zan led a couple of couples to the front of the hall. The host entered the hall and burned incense, poured wine, fell down, and stood up. The congratulators knelt down and proclaimed: "Luo Jiayun said that this month is auspicious, and we are welcoming Zhang Li's marriage, and I will meet my ancestors. "

This process is called worshiping the ancestors. It is to inform the ancestors of the news of the marriage of the children and grandchildren, so that they can feel at ease and know that the incense will continue and the blood will continue.

In the crowd, Qiu Yan's eyebrows moved slightly, revealing a shocked expression. He actually caught the scent of incense from the hall.

In the hall, Luo's mother wept with joy, looking at the pair of Bi people, she couldn't stop crying. She lost her husband in middle age, and she worked hard to raise Luo Jiayun. She worked hard for half her life to support Luo Jiayun's education. Now she finally paid off, so she is naturally happy.

Luo Jiayun was also very excited.

Then there are ceremonies such as pulling the towel, paying homage, and knotting hair. However, there is no custom of entering the bridal chamber immediately. The groom will then change his body and drink with the guests.

But Qiu Yan and the others were led to sit down. They were all well-known juren and scholars. Different from others, the elders of the Luo family clan all came to meet and chat with them. After a while Only then retreated.

"Brother Luo has finally come to the end of his hardships. I just heard the conversation of that villager and contacted each other. I can know that a few years ago, the Luo family was confiscated by relatives. .” During the dinner, Zhou Guan whispered.

Zhang Zhen listened, shook his head and said: "Then this Luo family is too unruly. I, Darui, built the country with filial piety and valued relatives helping each other. It's not that... what, my dear brother, what do you say about it? ?”

After hearing this, Qiu Yan said with a smile, "Didn't Brother Zhang say 'but I have spare money to support the orphans, widows and poor people of the clan'?"

"That's right! You should remember clearly that this Jieyuan is not for nothing," Zhang Zhen patted his thigh, "This clan is the foundation, even if there are conflicts with each other, it can't cut off the way of life?" His face was full of injustice After that, it seems to have brought back the memory in my heart.

"These are other people's family affairs. It's hard for an upright official to decide family affairs." Qiu Yan shook his head. "It's because of the customs. If everyone has the concept of helping the poor, we should stop it. Unfortunately, it's easy to say, but it's not easy to do." How difficult it is, how unpredictable it is.”

"It makes sense." Zhang Zhen also shook his head, thinking of something.

Seeing that the expressions of the other people were different, Qiu Yan changed the subject and asked Zhou Guan: "Brother Zhou, I wonder if you can read the letter I entrusted someone to send earlier?"

Zhou Guan listened, showing shame, and said: "I was about to tell my elder brother about this, and I planned to accompany Brother Qiu to study, but my father was going to let me go to Quanyou Academy. You also know that I am at home. For the sake of my mother, I can only obey my father's orders."

"So that's how it should be. It's a happy event to be able to enter the academy and get the inheritance of great Confucianism. I'm offering you a glass here for my brother, which can be regarded as offering flowers to the Buddha and congratulating you." He said holding up the wine glass.

"Me too, congratulations to my virtuous brother!" Zhang Zhen also raised his hand and raised his glass.

"Thank you two brothers."

The three drank in one go.

Not long after, Luo Jiayun with a red face came over, toasted with several friends, and left after a while.

The whole day, the Luo family was immersed in the celebration, but it was getting late, Luo Jiayun still found time to come over to see off his friends.

"Brother Qiu, let's say goodbye today. We will meet again in Xingjing next February." Zhou Guan said as he looked at Qiu Yan.

Several people bid farewell to Qiu Yan, and after knowing Zhou Guan's decision, Qiu Yan told them that once the wedding was over, they had to leave directly.

"Are you in a hurry?" Luo Jiayun drank a lot of wine, his head was dizzy, but he still felt reluctant to leave his friend.

Qiu Yan said with a smile: "I have to go anyway, starting from here can save some trouble, besides, I have also agreed with my family."

Zhang Zhen had seen Ji Zheng before, so he knew a little bit about it, so he took advantage of the situation and said, "Your brother is right, so I wish you the best of luck."

"Bon Voyage."

"Take care."

Luo Jiayun and Zhou Guan also bid farewell.

"Everyone, there will be a time later!" Qiu Yan bowed his hands and bid farewell, got on his horse, swung his whip and left, Hu Qi and Dai Guo also followed on horseback.

Looking at Qiu Yanyuan's back, the remaining three people felt an inexplicable emotion in their hearts.

………………

At the same time, outside the gate of Liu Huai's house in Yuanning Mansion, an old man came, followed by several Confucian scholars, and one of them knocked on the door.

"Is Weng Liu here? I'm in Xiaquanyou Academy Zhang Zhizhi, and Master Zhao came to visit..." (To be continued...)
