Speaking of this, Yan Yongzhang's tone unconsciously became jealous: "He was admitted to the Juren at once, and he also entered the palace examination." At the beginning, I could have stayed in Hanlin Courtyard directly, but for some reason, I came to the northwest to make a Jiupin County Order, and I rose step by step! ”

"He refused to stay in the Hanlin Academy?" Wen Qingzhu felt that this might be related to Baidong's teacher, "Do you remember that Baidong's promotion path is anything special?" ”

Yan Yongzhang thought about it seriously.

As a scholar, Bai Dong is completely different from his relationship, but Bai Dong has always been much luckier than him.

The road to promotion was even smoother, until the last time Tang Xiao died, according to the original plan, Bai Dong should have gone to Yunzhou to be the prefect.

It happened that during this time, Bai Dong took sick leave and left Linzhou.

"I remembered! At that time, the internal candidate of the prefect of Yunzhou was Baidong, but he asked for leave and left Linzhou at that time, as if he went to a place, saying that he was looking for medicine for his wife, I don't know much about that place, and I vaguely remember that there seemed to be some medicine god valley or something. ”

As soon as Yan Yongzhang finished speaking, Wen Qingzhu felt wrong, how could it have anything to do with the Medicine God Valley?

But on the other side of Linzhou, it is indeed not far from the Medicine God Valley.

Suddenly, Wen Qingzhu remembered that there was still a person here who had been in the Medicine God Valley for a long time.

She ran to Wen Mingliang's room, and he was about to get up: "Why is the seventh sister here?" ”

Without any nonsense, Wen Qingzhu went straight to the point: "You were in the Medicine God Valley before, are there any guests there?" Is it the valley owner's special care? ”

If it is a person who has a grudge with the teacher, with the teacher's temperament, he is definitely a person at the same level as him.

Wen Qingzhu has lived for two lifetimes, and I really haven't heard of anyone who is as famous as a teacher!

"Special care guests?" Wen Mingliang thought about it carefully, and suddenly nodded again and again, "Yes, yes, yes!" It's Mr. Ding! I heard from the valley lord that he is also a great Confucian, but I have never heard of a great Confucian surnamed Ding. ”

"Mr. Ding?" Don't talk about Wen Mingliang, Wen Qingzhu doesn't know about it.

Seeing that Wen Qingzhu was very anxious, Wen Mingliang tried hard to recall the things about that Mr. Ding.

He stroked his palm and sighed: "It's Lord Ding Xuan!" I remember! That Mr. Ding is the nephew of Lord Ding Xuan! That is, Lord Ding Xuan is the uncle of that Mr. Ding! ”

Ding slow?

Isn't this person the official who returned to his hometown before?

Jiang Yuanhan was very similar to leaving Ding Huan behind, but Ding Huan's old father died of illness, and he was almost in his prime, and his body really couldn't hold on.

As a last resort, they could only let Ding slow to recall.

If you think about it carefully, isn't Ding Chu from Yunzhou!

Wen Qingzhu immediately went to arrest Yan Yongzhang and asked about the Ding family again.

"Haven't you heard of any great Confucianism from the Ding family?" Yan Yongzhang didn't know very well.

Looking at his expression, Wen Qingzhu was very suspicious, he, a parallel trader who relied on bribery, was afraid that he could not be compared with a person like Bai Dong.

When he was anxious, Lu Chuan hurriedly ran in.

"There's news from Brother Fu! Say it's okay to say the teacher! It's just that he met the stronghold of the Huns, and after a fierce battle, he delayed the time, and he said that he would be able to rush back in about an hour. ”

After getting the news from Fu Lie and the teacher, Wen Qingzhu breathed a long sigh of relief.

Yan Yongzhang, who failed to satisfy Wen Qingzhu, was very worried, racking his brains to think about the Ding family.

Thinking about it, he suddenly remembered something important.

Ding Shu came back for the funeral before, and Lu Chuan was here!

"My lord! I remember! At that time, when the old lady of the Ding family held a funeral, General Lu Xiao went! ”

Wen Qingzhu looked up at Lu Chuan, only to see him say with a puzzled expression: "Is there anything wrong with the Ding family?" ”

Looking at Lu Chuan, Wen Qingzhu's eyes were filled with joy, and he couldn't help grabbing his arm: "Is the relationship between the Ding family and your family very good?" How do you go back to the funeral of the Ding family? ”

"That's because the old lady of the Ding family is my teacher's grandfather!" Lu Chuan's face was taken for granted.

Wen Qingzhu grasped one of these questions: "Wait! You said that your teacher is also from the Ding family? What's his name? Are there any other disciples besides you? ”

"I'm not a disciple, I'm just a student of his, he's so powerful, I don't dare to claim to be his disciple! I don't have that face! ”

Lu Chuan hurriedly shook his head, looking very respectful of that Mr. Ding.

Looking at his demeanor, Wen Qingzhu became more and more sure that the teacher of Baidong was that Mr. Ding!

"His name is Ding Yinzhi, he is the son of Mr. Ding, that is, the brother of Lord Ding Shu, Lord Ding Shu Ding has been in the Ministry of Officials for more than 30 years, and has been a secretary of the Ministry for almost 20 years, you should always know this, right?"

"I know, I know, tell me about this Ding Yinzhi, how is he so powerful? Do you know Mr. Ji? Wen Qingzhu was extremely anxious now.

Although Fu Lie sent back the news that it was okay, she still remembered the time when the teacher had an accident.

Lu Chuan looked very respectful and said: "He is very powerful, my father said, under Mr. Ji is him, the Ji family is a big family in the capital, but the Ding family is a unique scholarly family in Yunzhou, you should have seen the allusion about Yunshan Wuyin in the book, right?" This story is about Ding Yin's father, Mr. Ding. ”

"I know this, but I don't have much to say about him, how do I feel like someone is deliberately hiding it?" Wen Qingzhu can also be regarded as a person who is familiar with all kinds of books. Baidu

Of course she knew the allusion to Yunshan Wuyin, but strangely, she didn't point out who this Mr. Ding was.

In general, there will be many relevant annotations.

And this allusion is so famous, listening to Lu Chuan's meaning, Mr. Ding is also very powerful, but why is his sense of existence so weak?

"That's because Mr. Ding is the most insistent opponent of Emperor Shunde, and he wrote a lot of essays to criticize Emperor Shunde, so after Emperor Shunde ascended the throne, he was the first person to get rid of.

Later, his younger brother, that is, Lord Ding Chuan didn't want to be an official, but Emperor Shunde forcibly left him behind, and he has always trusted Lord Ding Chuan very much, and he also listened to Lord Ding's advice.

It's just that you also know that Lord Ding is very safe in doing things, but he never expresses his opinions casually. He is different from Mr. Ding, Lord Ding is like an ordinary, and he took the test three times before he was admitted.

Later, Emperor Shunde just ascended the throne, got rid of Mr. Ding, and directly appointed Ding Zhuan, who had not achieved the results of the imperial examination, as the official Langzhong, and then Lord Ding Zhuan was naturally admitted to the Juren.

No one knows what the hell is going on. My dad may know, but he doesn't say it. The Ding family fell suddenly because of Mr. Ding's affairs.

Mr. Ding's son, that is, my teacher, has never gone to the scientific examination, is obsessed with learning, and inherits Mr. Ding's achievements. By the way, Mr. Ji is my teacher's younger brother. ”

As soon as Lu Chuan finished speaking, Wen Qingzhu was stunned.

"How is it a junior brother? Do they have a good relationship? ”

This is what Wen Qingzhu is most worried about.

When it came to this matter, Lu Chuan was actually very puzzled: "At the beginning, my father invited Mr. Ding over, and he only taught me for half a year, and he left." However, my father told me not to mention Mr. Ji in front of Mr. Ding, after all, at that time, Mr. Ji traveled all over the world and occasionally settled in Dingyuan. ”

"Do you know where your teacher lives?" Wen Qingzhu always felt that something was wrong, and Zhao'er said before that the teacher would die in Yonghe Pass, which made her feel uneasy.

Originally, she didn't have much hope, but Lu Chuan replied: "I know!" It's just a bit far. ”

After two hours, the sky began to darken.

Lu Chuan, who was out of breath, looked at Wen Qingzhu, who was silent in front of him, and he was almost crying.

Why did he promise her to come to the teacher's side!

This road was the fastest, but steepest and most rugged road that his father deliberately took him to show his sincerity.

The weeds and dead branches in front of him were crisscrossed, Wen Qingzhu was on crutches in one hand and thick gloves in the other, removing the obstacles in front of him, and walked up one foot deep and one foot shallow.

In any case, she had to see in person that the teacher was okay.

As she walked, Wen Qingzhu's feet slipped and her body fell backwards, but fortunately, Beidou helped her in time.

Her heart pounded, and she gasped for air.

After standing firm, Beidou gestured to her: Do you want me to carry you?

Wen Qingzhu looked back at Lu Chuan, who was bitter behind him, and shook his head firmly: "There is no need for the time being, at night, it is very dangerous here, you just pay attention to other dangers." ”

After resting on the spot for a while, Lu Chuan finally caught up, and his breath came out, full of white mist.

A face turned yellow: "Big sister! You look so weak, why are you so awesome! I was afraid for two hours, but I didn't even breathe! ”

Wen Qingzhu, who didn't have any strength at all, her feet were trembling now.

After a pause, she said to Lu Chuan in a trembling voice: "It's not that I'm not tired, I just don't want to show it." ”

When he got closer, Lu Chuan found that Wen Qingzhu's face was also red, and the hand holding the trunk was still trembling.

Finally, it wasn't him a waste of firewood, Lu Chuan sat on the ground: "Big sister! The teacher lives far away, and I also experienced it in the barracks back then, and I also walked for a day and a night! Now I am not the Lu Chuan I used to be, but at least six hours! Besides, it's still the depths of winter, and if it snows heavily—"

Before he finished speaking, Lu Chuan found that snowflakes were falling in front of him.

He wanted to slap his mouth: "My crow's mouth!" ”

Wen Qingzhu also sank his eyebrows, it was not a good thing to encounter snow when he went up the mountain.

After glancing at it, Lu Chuan persuaded seriously: "Why don't we take the big road." This road really can't be walked! I've heard that there are people who go up the mountain to find the teacher, and something happened on this road! ”

"Why do you all have to go this way?" Wen Qingzhu found a problem.

Their path was not walked by people at all, and there were not even animal footprints along the way.

If it weren't for the vines and wattles, and all kinds of tenacious trees on the road, with the slope and uneven slope in front of you, people would not have been able to walk up at all.

Lu Chuan raised his head and looked at the road ahead: "This is because there are few learned people in the northwest, and there is only one Confucian like Mr. Dingding, and there are still a few Confucians in the south of the Yangtze River, and there are countless people with good learning, but in the northwest, there is only Mr. Ding." ”

In the last sentence, there is too much sadness hidden.

Lu Chuan retracted his gaze, looked at Wen Qingzhu's eyes and said, "You know what? After the world was peaceful, there were requirements for military service in places like the northwest, after all, it was not the time to fight, and there were only so many soldiers needed.

The rest of the people can only take the road of the imperial examination, but without good teachers and resources, it is better to join the army on the road of the imperial examination. ”

"So after Mr. Ding's matter came out, not only did the capital not mention it, but the northwest side also kept it secret?" Wen Qingzhu sat down with him.

After taking the water out, Lu Chuan took a sip, wiped his mouth and continued: "It's not because Emperor Shunde sent the two Zhao Qing brothers over, our Lu family originally wanted to help the Ding family, but later they were too busy to take care of themselves!"

Over the years, if the Ding family hadn't had a Ding Shu in the ministry, the teacher would not be able to engage in learning with peace of mind. Before, the teacher still lived in Yunzhou City. ”
