In recent years, he has become famous and has nowhere to hide, and his colleagues in this guard have also learned about it, and they have come to inquire, and some people have come to set up relationships, some people have come to ask Xia Yuanji to write lyrics, and even some people have come to visit in person, so they have to meet this 'nobleman'.

Xia Yuanji was anxious, he was indeed a gentleman, and he was not so tactful, although he was in charge of the government, he also had a cunning side, but people came with a smiling face, although they pulled down their faces to refuse, and they blocked the car one after another, but they were still a little unbearable. Some of the scribes and even the doctors in the guard made fun of him, saying that he is now the 'champion of the palace', and I don't know how many people are worried about him.

This is the most deadly, the three words 'Zhuangyuan Gong' are really a great insult to Xia Yuanji's identity, although he is now a small official, but after all, he was still a minister, and a gentleman, and this Hualou Theater is involved, it is really difficult to raise his head, but people are just a kind joke, Xia Yuanji is actually unable to attack.

People, they will always get used to it, slowly, although Xia Yuanji is still lukewarm to those people, he is still some sweetness that he has begged for, and occasionally he will send some poems to be printed, and he will also send silver money there, and he will take it with peace of mind.

It's just a few months down, but it's really frightened him, unconsciously, he actually saved nearly a thousand taels of silver, this thousand taels of silver for his two sleeves of clean wind of the department, is by no means a small amount, this is still he is not keen on this way, if you really have enough energy to compose poetry, I am afraid that it will be a few times more than a problem, all say that Langshan is rich in the world, it seems that it is really so. It is no wonder that this Langshan is filled with the atmosphere of poetry and songs, and a few lame colleagues have to hold back a few words in their leisure time from official business. Speaking of which, it was the yellow and white thing that had an effect.

Xia Yuanji suddenly felt a little ridiculous, whether it was the imperial court or the sages, what they advocated was education, but the previous dynasties had been educated for so many years, and they had no effect, and they should be ignorant or ignorant. Those who are illiterate are still illiterate, and those who read books are just a stepping stone. What does it have to do with indoctrination? On the contrary, this Langshan, with the temptation of profit, has been edified, and not only has it risen. And very successful.

Over here. There is a very strong reading atmosphere, Xia Yuanji rarely meets Bai Ding between going back and forth, and even when he walks on the street and meets some merchants, he also holds a book to read. But people are literate and enjoy what they watch. There are also people who shake their heads and memorize the Four Books and Five Classics, most of them are dissatisfied with the status quo and hope to read more books in their spare time to find a good way out for their future.

Here is lively during the day, more lively at night, there is a town south street not far from Weili, at night, it is brightly lit, all kinds of food are available, on the long street that stretches for several miles, there are snacks from all over the country, and it is extremely authentic, probably because the people who come here to find a way out are from Jiangsu and Zhejiang, there are also people from Sichuan, Guangxi, Liangguang and other places, not only that, but also the big cannibals, the Japanese people, Siam, Luzon, Foqi and even Kunlun slaves, everyone gathers here, and now the food harvest is good, so many people take out their own housekeeping skills, The specialties of their hometown are made and sold, so there are hundreds of kinds of cakes alone, all of which are sold along the street to attract customers.

Here the night hot flashes, so many people sleep late, many people work during the day, and they can't help but be hungry at night, so they can't help but invite some friends, in this stall, find the low stool to sit down, and wait for the vendor to make all kinds of fried food, wine is naturally there, from the south to the north, and even the sake of the Japanese people is also sold, everyone gathers together, although there is more oil, do not care, eat snacks, drink wine, say some jokes and observations, many of which are alarmist and other things, There are inevitably a few words of boasting, but they are also extremely pleasant.

Xia Yuanji was invited a few times, and then he earned his own money, so he couldn't help but invite back, so he would invite people to come, and he couldn't do without this kind of market life, otherwise at night, he would be hungry, and he had no intention of sleeping, and he was extremely uncomfortable, and gradually, he came out every day, or with his colleagues, or with a few friends, from officials to dealers and pawns, he actually knew some.

After contacting these people, Xia Yuanji was a taciturn person at first, and the so-called gentleman cherished words like gold, but gradually, he was able to say a few jokes with the vendors, and after being slightly drunk, he made a few complaints.

Today they are looking for a Jiangxi people's stall, eating bean curd and a few plates of fennel, teaching people to boil a pot of porridge, and half a jar of rice wine, sitting together are Jiangxi people, there are doing business, there is also a scholar, surnamed Yang, a single name and a Jing word, this Mr. Yang can't do anything, he really can't pass the exam, so he was ruthless, and he simply left his hometown, originally he was recommended by a fellow villager, and went to a prefect in Guangxi to be a guest of the scene, but he was very unhappy there, and people just used him because of human affection, and he was lukewarm, He heard that Langshan is good here, so he came, and now he is teaching in a school, the salary is good, and he is also very leisurely, but he is a hardcore Chen Xuedang, in fact, he and Xia Yuanji are not speculative in learning, but respect Xia Yuanji's morality, so he is willing to have a deep friendship with him, in his words, this is called gentleman harmony and difference, whether you agree with me or not, everyone is their own master, and usually rarely talks about academic matters.

Xia Yuanji also likes him, because this person is quite upright, treat people sincerely, he gradually sharpened in Langshan, and many times forgot about his affairs in the court, but liked the life of Langshan, although sometimes he lamented a few words for his own experience, but sometimes he felt that he was Tao Yuanming, that Tao Yuanming was hidden in the mountains and forests, and he was hidden in the city, enjoying the joy of the rivers and lakes.

After a few glasses of rice wine, Yang Jing blushed, and couldn't help but talk about the things in the school, saying that which student didn't need to work, and said that he found a poor family, hanging beams and thorns, and he was determined to be motivated.

Xia Yuanji talked about his official business, and unconsciously, he talked about Haiphong.

This table full of four or five people, whether they are scholars or businessmen, as soon as they talk about Haiphong Hou, they are eager, and Yang Jing can't help but say: "It is said that it is summoned by the palace, and Haiphong Hou immediately entered Beijing to meet him, and the Marquis of Beijing has arrived in Langshan, and he has been in Langshan for a few days, and he is afraid that he will go north, hey, I think it may not be a good thing to go here." ”

Xia Yuanji smiled: "How can this be seen?" ”

At the beginning, Xia Yuanji impeached Hao Fenglou, and he ended up like this, but now, facing Hao Fenglou, his mood is complicated, he sometimes thinks that without Hao Fenglou's guy, there must be no Langshan, without Langshan, there will not be so many people with enough food and clothing, not so many people studying, not so many people working all day, sitting on this bustling long street, lanterns stretching for miles, countless vendors and merchants selling along the street, everyone sits here comfortably, satisfying the desire of the tongue at the same time, enjoy this kind of relaxation.

Yang Jing sneered and said, "How can you see it?" Mr. Xia is a nobleman, do you still need to find out these words? It is true that Hou Ye has made great contributions, but the wood is beautiful in the forest, and the wind will destroy it, do you still need to explain what happened here? ”

Xia Yuanji just brushed his beard, smiled and didn't say anything, he also had some premonitions, I am afraid that this time, Hao Fenglou entered Beijing, it is the time to settle accounts, but who is settling accounts with whom, it is impossible to tell, the DPRK and China are tilting against each other, it seems that the academic battle is a battle for succession, in fact, to put it bluntly, it is a struggle for power, and the situation is not very optimistic for anyone.

To say that this is not it, these people in Langshan, and those in Jiangsu and Zhejiang in terms of lifestyle, habits and interests of the struggle, some people win, there will be no Langshan, some people lose, it is possible to promote Langshan's way of life.

Myself...... Which side are you on? Xia Yuanji couldn't tell, he always felt that the sage books he had read must not be wrong, but Langshan had so many lovely people and many lovely things, but he suddenly felt a little difficult to let go, this kind of inexplicable feeling, even he couldn't help laughing, he was just a criminal official now, and now he is a small official, he is really not qualified, he cares about this.

He picked up the wine and ate a glass, but the merchant on the side was full of interest and talked to Yang Jing, nothing more than to say that the Luguo Mansion had recently produced some benevolent government, after the capture of Siam, how the business had improved, Yang Jing also muttered: "Now there are many schools built in Siam, and there are many gentlemen in my school who are clamoring, saying that they are going to Siam to teach, and we will learn from Chen, to be honest, the old man also has this intention, although Langshan is good, but people have to find something useful to do after all, the old man usually teaches students, how to do, How can you ...... yourself?"

As he was talking, a carriage came, and near the carriage, there were four or five soldiers in fish suits, these soldiers looked like they were guards, the carriage stopped, but someone stepped on a high stool and came down, this person had clear eyebrows, a well-cut round-necked gown, and a slender figure, making the whole person handsome and straight, everyone couldn't help but look at him, but Xia Yuanji was stunned, he recognized the person who came - Hao Fenglou.

Xia Yuanji never imagined that he would meet this 'long-cherished enemy' in such a way and in such a place, he looked at this guy deeply, Hao Fenglou did not show the pride of the victor, but under the support of several vigilant guards, he walked over, and immediately came to Xia Yuanji, clasped his fists and saluted: "Xia Butang, don't come for a few months, don't come to harm?" ”
