Late autumn is a good time for autumn to be crisp and refreshing, and it is advisable to travel.

Yang Yi was not idle, he was traveling with people at this time, taking a newly made carriage.

Although because of frequent battles, horses are strategic materials, such as the people, even if they are rich, most of them can only use ox carts to travel, and Yang Yi's identity is not ordinary, he is here to summon people, of course, he has to use a carriage, otherwise, it is not noble.

Not surprisingly, after the New Year, she will ascend the throne, although the Han Empire is now poor and weak, but it is also the identity of the lord of a country, there must be rules, simplicity This virtue, waiting for the unification of the world, can be done.

Dozens of elite horsemen followed, and there was a team of foot troops, but it was inevitable, and the carriages and horses were not fast, so they could keep up.

Walking along a river, although the river is not big, but the water is clear and clear, and the cool breeze blows, which makes people intoxicated.

When I arrived at a private school in the mountains, because of the chaos in the world, there were countless people who took refuge in the mountains, and here was where a well-known scribe was located, in order to collect the Quartet to live, the carriage went slowly, and it didn't take much time to get to the door.

At this time, when I got to the door, it was afternoon.

This is an interesting mountain house, inside the wooden fence, but there is a garden and vegetable garden, at this time, there are chrysanthemums in full bloom.

In the late autumn season, the dew turns into frost, but the chrysanthemums are in a thousand forms.

Yang Yi swept over, only to see that the chrysanthemum was as big as a colored ball, as small as a lamp, and there were many varieties, the owner was obviously a person who was good at raising flowers and plants, and the fragrance was wafting, like a picture scroll.

"Oh, the master's house is here, I've seen this gentleman!" During the observation, Yang Yi found that a middle-aged man was in the flower garden, and Yang Yi also bowed his hand, and then the Son of Heaven used the Qi Technique, but he was surprised.

I saw that in the slightly oblique sunlight in the afternoon, there was a layer of red and gold light on the middle-aged man's body, which was spread all over the body, and on the top, there were waves of white gas-like water light, hanging down.

Qi practitioner?

The Qi Refiners of this era are not necessarily Taoist priests, but a considerable number of Taoist Qi Refiners can be subdivided into Qi Refiners, and these Taoist Qi Refiners and ordinary Qi Refiners together constitute the cultivation group of Qi Refiners.

Some of them, eating and drinking, only seeking to improve their cultivation without using means such as Waidan, refining the "five qi in the chest" instead of "golden pill"; But there are also people who say that they are all Neidan masters, also known as Fangshi, who are people who practice with the goal of restoring their ancestral nature and seizing the spirit of heaven and earth.

And Yang Yi observed this person, like this, but he was a little disappointed.

"Oh, it's a distinguished guest." The man got up at this time, looked back, and couldn't help but light up, only to see Yang Yi wearing a silver crown, wearing a sleeved shirt, wearing high-toothed sandals, his demeanor was calm, his bearing was graceful, and there was a faint crystal light on his face at this time.

There is also a calm and majestic bearing, but it is indescribable, this is the bearing of people who have been in a high position for many years.

"I take the liberty to come, there is a lot of disturbance, come, and give a salute to the gentleman." Yang Yi said, Zhang Ning beside him took a few infantry soldiers at this time and moved the gifts, two horses of cloth, several bags of rice, and a few salted fish and jerky.

The middle-aged man only smiled slightly at this time, then accepted it, and said, "Your guest is going inside to talk." ”

When I got inside, the guest of honor sat down, and a boy came in to serve tea at this time, Yang Yi was a little polite, picked up a slight gesture, and then waited for the middle-aged man to take a sip, Yang Yi put down the tea and said: "Mr. is here, teaching countless people, I came this time, but I have something to ask for." ”

"Oh, if you have anything to say, just say it!" At this time, the middle-aged man put down the teacup and said, this posture, he also knew very well that the person in front of him was either rich or expensive, and even he could vaguely guess the identity.

"Mr. discerning, I must also know that now the Han family is in danger, and the lonely is really frightened now, but I am afraid that I will miss the Han Dynasty, and the ancestors and ancestors will go up again, but they will not see each other, and they will hear the name of Mr. alone, and know that Mr. is in the mountains, and he does not want to disturb, but now he has taken the liberty to come to the door;

This time I came to disturb Mr. because Mr. has been teaching here for more than ten years, and there are many protégés, and I hope that Mr. can introduce one or two to help the lone arm. At this time, Yang Yi said sincerely.

In fact, Yang Yi originally wanted to invite this person out of the mountain in the righteousness of his family and country, but as soon as he found out that this person was a qi practitioner, his heart was already half cold, so he decisively changed his mouth, otherwise he would have nothing to gain.

"Sir, it's not for me alone, for the sake of thousands of Han Li people, Wei thieves are raging, a few days ago, actually slaughtered the city, Mianzhu thousands of households, there is no one in ten, now the Han is in danger, on this Mianzhu City, if there is no capable person to settle, if because of Lone's incompetence, it falls into the hands of Wei thieves again, I don't know if the people who survived this catastrophe will have another disaster, at that time, but it is not the fault of one person......"

When this person heard this, his eyes, which had been squinting, opened suddenly, and then stared at Yang Yi's face for a long time.

Just when Yang Yi thought that this middle-aged man had seen his outfit and was thinking about countermeasures, this person finally spoke: "Nobleman, but is it really Li Min?" ”

"After the Lonely Ancestor, how can you doubt it." Yang Yi replied seriously at this time, of course, at this time, it was to use the reputation of that ancestor, Emperor Zhaolie of the Han Dynasty, Liu Xuande; This person's reputation is not to be said, he has his own reputation.

"Okay, then I'll help you once." The middle-aged man was relieved at this time.

"Thank you, sir."

"Don't be in a hurry to thank me, I have three disciples, one is Meng Liang, the eldest son of the Meng family in Hanzhong; The second is Zhang Han, but he is weak, weak and weak, he doesn't know where to raise his body at this time, only the three disciples Qu Yuan is still near the left, and the nobles are willing to be recruited? The man said lightly at this time.

Yang Yi was shocked when he heard this.

She also inquired before coming, after all, it was also recommended by someone, this person's first apprentice Meng Liangbo is involved in scripture and history, dedicated to learning, day and night, slightly tireless, and his books are also famous in the state and county, of course, he is a talent.

Although Zhang Han is weak, he also has a reputation for being strategic, and some people say that he is a ghost.

These two people are both good ministers, but this person refused to introduce her, which shows his thoughts.

"Qu Yuan, I have also heard, sincere in learning, meticulous, is the talent that Lone needs, thank you for your recommendation, grateful." Yang Yi thought in his heart, but said unconcernedly.

Of course, Qu Yuan is not famous in the township, even if he has some ability, he can see the difference in the number of qi, but this person is only willing to introduce this person to him, but he has a clear mind.

"That's good, it's better to choose a day than to hit the day, I'll seal a letter and thank your nobles for promoting my disciple!" As he spoke, he stood up, went to his desk, and wrote with a stroke of his pen.

"Thank you, sir!" Yang Yi naturally understood the meaning, and after taking it, he said: "If you are thirsty for talent, you will go first." ”

"I'm not far away!" The middle-aged man waved his hand at this time and said flatly.

Yang Yi naturally turned around and left at this time, went to the door, received the letter into his sleeve, first sneered, then sighed, got into the carriage, paused, and asked, "Is there anything else?" ”

"Your Highness, there are more!" Zhang Ning said on the side, this was originally a thank you gift to that person, so there is no need to give it.

Yang Yi nodded and did not speak.

Just now the man sent a boy to show the way, not far away, there are a few thatched huts, at this time it was already dusk, to the door, I saw an old woman working, Yang Yi got out of the car at this time, and then bowed his hand: "Madam! ”

When the old woman saw such a large group of people, she was shocked and said in amazement: "Where are you an official who came here?" ”

"Madame, forgive me, I am Brother Qu's classmate, and I am studying at Mr. Qu's place, so I came to see me." Yang Yi saluted again, and then said.

You can't say that the regent of Han is in front of this old woman...... Otherwise, it would not be good for an old woman to come and not remember many names, or to be frightened.

At this time, the door opened, Qu Yuan had already come out, with a poor face, seeing Yang Yi, seeing the large number of people, he said: "Your Excellency is visiting, please come in!" ”

In the thatched hut, there was nothing but a mat, Yang Yi remained silent, knelt on it, and used the wooden board as a table.

Looking at it contemplatively, he saw that there was only some gray gas on the top of Quyuan, his face was gray, and the natal qi in the middle was just the white gas that the people had, no wonder that person looked down on him, but Yang Yi could vaguely detect it, and there was still a little bit of uncertainty in the number of this person's qi, but it was impossible to explore it carefully, and he couldn't understand it at this time.

After talking about a few words, Yang Yi asked some questions, and saw that this person also had a bit of literary talent, which can be regarded as a talent.

It's just that Yang Yi groaned in his heart, stood up, stepped forward and said: "I am in charge of Mianzhu, and there are very few people who plan left and right. ”

Qu Yuan was stunned at this time, and muttered for a moment, he couldn't understand the identity of this person for a while, but he looked around, and said with a wry smile: "Autumn and winter are coming, I have no clothes for my mother and wife, and the nobles came to invite me, and I had to respond." ”

He didn't even ask anything.

Yang Yi knelt down and sat upright again, and said, "Qu Qingguo is poor. ”

The title has been changed.

And Zhengse said: "My lord and young son, some time ago, the country changed greatly, Wei thieves invaded the country, the lord ordered me to the general, now I am building a mansion in Mianzhu, there is a lack of scribes left and right, Qu Qing first went, there is no inch of work, I can only be aggrieved first as a professor, help me build Mianzhu school and politics, and so on, and after the study and politics are completed, Lone will naturally promote Qu Qing." ”

Then, with a gesture, Zhang Ning opened a bag beside him, Yang Yi took a letter of silver from it, and said: "Since Qu Qing promised to be alone, he has no respect, he has the right to pay tribute, Qu Qing has the right to watch, this grass dwelling is really inhabitable, give Qu Qing a day, settle his family, and go to Mianzhu as soon as possible." ”

Listening to this, Qu Yuan couldn't help but be taken aback, originally he agreed, but the family was almost desperate, and he did all the work, but at this time, he didn't want to recruit him, entrust him with a heavy task, and give him a lot of money.

Remembering that I had wronged my family before, and even had no cold clothes in winter and no food, for a while, my eyes were hot, and I was confused in front of me, but I couldn't care about anything else.

As soon as Yang Yi waved his hand, Zhang Ning took the food box, which was some food used with him, a specially refined food box, with fish, meat, vegetables, and a pot of wine.

Yang Yi poured two cups in person, and then raised his glass: "Gu will salute Qu Qing for a cup, and Qu Qing will help me prosper the great cause." ”

Qu Yuan did not postpone at this time, raised his glass and drank, the wine flowed from his lips, and after drinking it all in one gulp, he bowed down: "Minister, meet the lord!" ”

After the worship of the monarch and the minister, Yang Yi looked at it and couldn't help but smile bitterly.

After seeing the end of the ceremony, a stream of white gas descended on Qu Yuan's body, and in a moment, half of the gray gas on Qu Yuan's body had been washed away, and the natal qi in the center was also active, and the trace of white gas lingered, faintly with a cyan gas.

But almost at the same time, Yang Yi noticed that the white qi in his luck suddenly dropped significantly.

Yang Yi said indifferently at this time: "Qu Qing is a scholar, but he can invite a few more officials, etc., the scale of the academic administration is not large at the beginning, and the number of people cannot be many, but if Qing thinks that he is a talent, he can not ignore the number of people." ”

This means that if there is a talent, even if you are invited, as for whether it consumes more gas, you can't care about it, anyway, no matter how low it is, it is impossible to consume your own purple qi, and at this time, the big man is still there, and this consumption can still hold on.

When Qu Yuan heard this, he immediately understood, and said: "No, don't worry, my lord, I am familiar with the local area, and I will share my worries with my lord." ”

After talking for a while, explaining some things, and leaving a soldier, Yang Yi also said goodbye, and when he saw Qu Yuan going out to salute, he raised his hand to return the salute, and the car went all the way.

Yang Yi leaned on the back of the car, slightly bumpy all the way, but his heart was tumbling, that person turned out to be a qi refiner, which was really unexpected, of course, it would not be too strange, the five bucket rice road was near the left, although the qi practitioner did not belong to the Taoist system, it was not too far.

Qu Yuan waited for Yang Yi to go away, until he couldn't see it, and then walked in, and when he got inside, Qu Mu and his wife had already gathered together, and Qu Yuan was about to hand over the silver to Qu Mu to open and see.

This envelope of silver, the outer bread is a paper seal, after tearing it, you can see the silver, although it is the sunset, but it has not yet fallen, the silver light is shining.

Five taels of silver ingots, a total of ten, Qu Yuan took out one of them and handed it to Qu's mother: "Mother, you have paid off all the original debts of my family." ”

Qu Mu looked at it and said, "My family only owes 4,300 yuan in foreign debts, and I don't need so much." ”

"There are still some things that should be lost, if they can be redeemed, just redeem them, if they can't, forget it, it's not worth entanglement, mother, you just take it!"

He also gave an ingot to his wife: "Lady, you have followed me for almost ten years, and you can also buy some cloth, make some clothes, buy some meat, and give the children some food!" ”

Then he said, "The lord asked me to recruit other subordinates, and I thought to myself, there are several candidates, but most of them are poor, and they all need silver, and I will use these three ingots, and I will use the rest." ”

His wife whispered, but she looked at the silver reluctantly, this is also human nature, Qu Yuan himself is like this, let alone her?

Qu Yuan closed his eyes and was stunned for a moment.

The winter has arrived, the cold wind has changed, there is no winter clothes at home, and there is no food to wrap the abdomen, as a man, my heart is really like a knife, and the New Year is coming, and the debt collection is going to the door, it is really desperate.

I don't want to finally turn the corner now.

After being stunned for a while, Qu Yuan said in a low voice: "Since the lord has given him food, let's have a meal!" ”

The specially lit oil lamp emits a soft light, and the family kneels on the mat and eats these four dishes.

Although the Qu family is poor, they are very polite, but at this time, although they sit upright, chew slowly, and try not to make a sound, the family does not have much time to eat the meal.

Qu Mu looked at this scene and couldn't help but be stunned, how much time is there no such day?
