Chapter 526: The Past of Human Affection
The spring sun is warm, on the banks of the Surabaya River, the gentle breeze is fine and the willows are still around, and the cargo ships and passenger boats on the wharf come and go frequently, a lively and prosperous scene.
Xu Jin just wanted to quietly visit this beautiful ancient city soaked in poetry, so before going out, he changed his regular clothes, dressed as a literati scholar, and did not bring brocade clothes and guards, only two brothers-in-law followed.
Xu Jin walked south on the bank of the Surabaya River, crossed the river from the Taiping Bridge, and turned back to the north, and unconsciously arrived outside the Yangzhou Fuxue, hesitated for a moment, or walked towards the gate of the Fuxue.
In the Ming Dynasty, there were tribute schools in the provincial capital, government schools in the prefecture, state schools in the prefectures, and county schools in the counties. However, no matter whether it is a government school, a state school, or a county school, it does not teach, but is only responsible for assessing students, and students mainly attend classes in colleges or study at home.
There is a professor in the Fuxue, and he is in the seventh official position, and the senior brother Wei Yang was assigned to the Yangzhou Fuxue as a professor by the officials. Yangzhou is a prosperous and wealthy place, Wei Yang can be assigned to serve here, or thanks to the power of the family, his uncle Wei Hanwen is the right attendant of the Ministry of Industry, the first assistant Yang Tinghe's protΓ©gΓ©.
In ancient times, colleges were like today's open universities, whether you were a scholar or a peddler, you could come and go at will, provided that you did not cause trouble or sabotage.
Xu Jin walked along the alley paved with bluestone slabs to the school, and his heart was a little complicated. Senior brother Wei Yang likes auspiciousness, and the two families even talked about marriage for a while, but in the end it fell out for political reasons, and the senior brother was discouraged because of this, and his test results also lost his level, and he also gave birth to the idea of returning to Xinjiang Academy as a teacher. However, last year, the little emperor messed up the mandarin duck spectrum and gave himself an auspicious marriage!
In fact, after Xu Jin received the holy decree of marriage last year, he sent a letter to his senior brother Wei Yang, and the senior brother also wrote back to bless him, but when he arrived in Yangzhou yesterday, Wei Yang did not come to greet him, nor did he participate in the reception banquet. Yangzhou Governor Jiang Ping knew that Weiyang was his three sames (classmates, fellow villagers, and the same year), and it was impossible not to invite him to participate in receiving Feng'an, so there was only one explanation, the senior brother didn't want to see him, and there was still a gap in his heart!
It can be expected that the atmosphere of the two meeting will definitely be very awkward, but Xu Jin still decided to meet, the knot in his heart must be untied eventually, and the senior brother is a humble gentleman he respects.
"What's the matter with this son?"
When Xu Jin came to the outside of the official office of Fuxue, he was stopped by a small official, but this little official obviously found that Xu Jin had an extraordinary bearing, so his attitude was very polite.
Xu Jin arched his hand and smiled: "Trouble to inform Professor Wei, and say that the old man of Shangrao Xinjiang Academy is visiting." β
"It turned out to be Professor Wei's classmate, but Professor Wei is not here at the moment, I'm really sorry, can guests leave a name and address? If you look back, you can tell the professor. β
Xu Jin pondered for a moment and said, "That...... I'll come back next time! β
The little official nodded and said: "Okay, if the prince is looking for Professor Wei in a hurry, maybe he can try his luck at Daming Temple, Professor Wei is familiar with Master Huijing, the host of Daming, and often goes to Daming Temple to meditate and participate in meditation." β
Xu Jin couldn't help frowning, meditating and participating in Zen? This is not a good sign, does the senior brother have the meaning of being negative and hidden?
"Dare to ask where is Daming Temple?" Xu Jin asked.
"Less than two miles out of the city from the north city gate, on the small hillside on the bank of the Surabaya River, it is very easy to find."
Xu Jin thanked him and took the Xie brothers out of the school and went to the north gate. Fuxue was originally located in the north of the city, not far from the north gate, the three of them quickly went out of the city gate, along the bank of the Surabaya River north, sure enough, they saw a temple built on the hillside of the river, the temple was under the shade of green trees, there was smoke rising on it, it seemed that the incense was very prosperous.
Jingle bell, a fuel wall car passed by, bringing a burst of fragrant wind, Xie Sangun's kid sniffed hard and said, "It's really fragrant, it's definitely not a serious person." β
Xie Erjian said jokingly: "Fourth, if you don't grow up, you will smell incense and know people, and the boudoir lady of a big family can't incense...... Hey, I really made you right, it's indeed a Qinglou woman. β
At this time, the oil-walled carriage had stopped at the foot of the mountain, and two women got off the car, one of them was in a graceful posture, wearing a power fence, and could not see her face, and the other woman should be a maid ring, holding a food box, probably preparing to go to the temple to incense.
Xie Sangun said with a smile: "Second brother, is this your old friend?" Can you recognize people wearing power fences? β
Xie Erjian raised his hand and slapped the back of Xie Sangun's head, the latter wanted to dodge, but the speed was still half a beat slower, and he took a solid hit.
Xie Erjian continued to walk slowly with both hands in his hands, and said, "I know that girl." β
Xie Sangun rolled his eyes: "Second brother, you are too unremarkable, forget about being a Qinglou woman, what is your concubine Qinglou woman's maid?" Don't tell anyone that it's my second brother in the future, I can't afford to lose this person. β
After Xie Sangun finished speaking, he cleverly went around to Xu Jin's other side, and successfully dodged Xie Erjian's flying kick. Xu Jin is both angry and funny, these two brothers-in-law are like sticking to the wrong door, and they raise each other's bars when they get together.
Xie Erjian did not chase and kill Xie Sangun, who was smug and grimacing, and continued: "Brother-in-law, that Yahuan helped you!" β
Xu Jin was slightly stunned and said, "How do you say it?" β
"In Nanchang that year, my brother-in-law was tied into the palace by the prince of Ning Wang, when I went into the courtyard of the prostitute Xiao Yuxue to investigate, just jumped in and met this girl, then I was afraid of being discovered, so I stunned her, and as a result, I got the paper ball of warning in her hand, and in hindsight, this girl ring was going to throw the paper ball out of the courtyard wall and inform us of your whereabouts."
Xu Jin couldn't help but suddenly said: "I see, second brother, you still remember the other party's appearance." β
Xie Erjian shrugged his shoulders and said, "I have a good memory, if I study, I guess I can make a fortune." But the fourth looks very clever, in fact, he is a well-developed, simple-minded goods, and he can't even recognize a thousand words until now, if he is allowed to study, I'm afraid that he won't be able to pass the county exam until he loses his teeth. β
Xie Sangun pouted and said: "Second brother, you can't do martial arts yourself, and you're embarrassed to blow it, go back and I'll take a martial arts champion, you see, to borrow a sentence from my brother-in-law, that's called with lightning!" β
"Hey, look at what you can get, don't be the champion when you don't get in, and you will be beaten all over the ground looking for teeth, you must know that there are people outside the mountain, and the martial champion is not so easy to be."
The two brothers raised the bar again, Xu Jin couldn't help but be speechless, and walked towards the foot of the mountain, at this time, the pair of masters and servants in front of him had already gone up the stone steps, and the woman wearing the power fence had a graceful posture, looking vaguely familiar, Xu Jin had already vaguely guessed the identity of the other party, but he was a little unsure.
If it is really this woman, then it seems that he owes her a big favor, you must know that if the second brother-in-law and Sun Sui did not respond in time, they were afraid that they would not be able to escape, and it is estimated that they would have to be caught back by the chasing prince of Ning Wang in the end.
