Chapter 237: The East Leaves, the West Comes to the Door

"Eastern Capital?"

Qiu Yan was even more puzzled, and couldn't help asking: "Xingtan talks about Taoism, what does it have to do with the Eastern Capital?"

Na Ji Zheng replied: "This apricot altar is not only available today, but because the Great Rui Geding is about to appear, in this world of great controversy, which school in the world does not want to participate? It's just that the person who entrusted me is a person from the Eastern Capital, so I need you to go to the Eastern Capital, and when the time comes, you will naturally be able to know how to talk about the Xingtan Dao." ”

"The world of great controversy?" Qiu Yan narrowed his eyes, his thoughts fluctuated, "This person came suddenly, and the words he said were also abrupt, like playing dumb riddles, just ......"

Thinking of this, he opened his mouth and asked, "I don't know who entrusted Mr. ? Can you tell me?"

Ji Zheng smiled: "I knew you would ask this, but it is inconvenient for me to say, when you arrive in the Eastern Capital, you will naturally be able to know." ”

Speaking of this, he suddenly glanced at Qiu Yan's whole body, and then said: "In addition, there is one more thing I want to remind you, when you go to the Eastern Capital, you might as well study in the people." As he spoke, his face changed slightly, with a solemn taste, "If you don't know the suffering of the people, you can't write articles that directly reach the hearts of the people, so how can you be famous all over the world?"

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

"Okay, what should be said, what shouldn't be said, I've already said it, zuihou say one more thing, if you want to leave, you want to study, it's best to leave as soon as possible, it's too late, I'm afraid I'm going to get involved in unnecessary disputes. ”

As he spoke, this person raised his arms and saluted Qiu Yan, Zhang Yunling and others: "Ji will say goodbye." ”

When the words fell, he threw his sleeves and left calmly, even that Zhang Yunling, who didn't dare to say anything at will, just rushed to see him off, looking cautious.

"Walking the folk?"

Look at the other party's distant back. Qiu Yan was silent, but his thoughts were spinning in his heart, and Zuihou laughed: "If it weren't for this person's reminder, I almost forgot this, humanity and humanity really can't be missing, or so, it's time to leave." ”

At this time, Zhang Zhen came up and asked in a curious whisper, "Brother Xian." What kind of person can drive the Xingtanmen people, do you have a candidate in your heart?"

Qiu Yan shook his head and said, "I don't have a clue, I should only know when I get to the Eastern Capital." ”

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

"Not bad. Qiu Yan nodded, then looked at Zhang Zhen and asked. "What's the matter, do you want Brother Zhang to come with me?"

Zhang Zhen shook his head regretfully: "How can I go? I still have to study at home, the scroll you gave me is really amazing, according to the above method memory." After reading it, my father praised it even more and instructed me not to reveal it at will. Please rest assured about this. ”

When Qiu Yan heard this, he was not surprised: "Do you want to stay and study? That's fine, three years later." 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 does Brother Xian plan to leave?"

Qiu Yan replied: "Since Na Ji Zheng gave a reminder, then I don't plan to delay, naturally the sooner the better, and when I attend Brother Luo's wedding, I will leave for the north." ”

"That's only been the next two days. ”

Qiu Yan nodded and smiled: "Yes, it will definitely be difficult for Brother Luo to leave home at that time, but I can ask Zhou Guan." ”

Zhang Zhen looked yearning: "I really envy others, it seems that I have to study well in the past three years, and I should go to you as soon as possible." But there wasn't much self-pity in the words.

After leaving Zhang's Mansion, Qiu Yan first went to Pan's Mansion to visit his aunt before returning home.

Originally, Pan Xiang, the second young master of the Pan Mansion, wanted to get acquainted with Qiu Yan after the township test, but then news came from the DPRK that it was an important member of the New Party who interceded for him, so he left in a hurry, of course, he didn't have time to communicate with Qiu Yan, so the matter ended.

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

Luo Jiayun's hometown belongs to the Rongzhou Mansion of Jiannan Province, which is located in the east of Yuanning Mansion.

Luojia Village, where the Luo family is located, is not big, and most of them are clans, so the wedding is very lively - Luo Jiayun is now a lifter, and his status in the Luo clan has increased greatly, so there are naturally many people coming to this wedding.

Qiu Yan and others were Luo Jiayun's friends, and after arriving, they also helped to carry vases, candles, illuminators and other things, and then they hired music officials to advocate and lead the flower burden to the woman's house.

The woman's family is not far from the Luo family, and she is a foreigner who moved in more than ten years ago, but her father went early, so she was engaged to the Luo family very early, and she has been helping Luo Jiayun to study with Luo Jiayun's mother.

When I arrived at the woman's house, the family followed the rules and regulations of Hong Yindie, Lishi Qianhui, and there was a music official urging makeup, and when the time came, the bride boarded the burden, played music all the way, and returned to the man's house.

Before entering the door, someone held a flower bucket and scattered the grain and beans at the door, and there were children in the horn who competed happily......

"It's really lively, and it deserves to be one of the three joys of life. Looking at such a scene, Zhang Zhen couldn't help but praise.

Zhou Guan on the side said with a smile: "If Brother Zhang is envious, he can get married as soon as possible." ”

"No, in two years, you will have to eat my wine. Zhang Zhen was also not polite, so he said, and then 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, with incense, wine, and dishes, and Luo's mother was wearing a skirt and standing in the hall.

The host entered the hall to burn incense, drink, prostrate and stand up, and the wisher knelt on the ground and announced: "Luo Jiayun will welcome the marriage of his wife Zhang Li on the auspicious day of this month, and see your ancestors." ”

This process is called worshipping the ancestors, and it is to inform the ancestors of the news of the marriage of their children and grandchildren, so that they can feel at ease and know that the incense is passed on and the blood is passed on.

In the crowd, Qiu Yan's eyebrows moved slightly, revealing a shocked expression, he actually caught the slightest wisp of incense from that hall, although it was not rich, but it was extremely pure, and he suddenly thought about it.

In the hall, Luo's mother cried with joy, looking at a pair of beautiful people, tears flowed endlessly, she was middle-aged and widowed, and she raised Luo Jiayun with hard work, and she worked hard for half a generation for Luo Jiayun to study, and now she finally has a return, so she is naturally happy.

Luo Jiayun was also excited.

This is followed by rituals such as holding scarves, bowing, and tying hair, but there is no custom of entering the cave room immediately, and the groom will then change his clothes and accompany the guests to eat and drink.

And Qiu Yan and the others were taken to sit down, several of them were famous and famous, and unlike others, the elders of the Naluo clan had to come to greet and talk to them, and they retreated after a while.

"Brother Luo is now bitter, I just listened to the villagers talking, contacting each other, I can know that a few years ago, the Luo family was taken away by relatives to a few pieces of good land, and now he has been sent back as soon as he is promoted. During the banquet, Zhou Guan whispered.

Zhang Zhen listened, shook his head and said: "Then the Luo family is too unruly, my Darui established the country with filial piety, and paid attention to relatives and help, isn't there anything like that...... What, Brother Hey, what do you say?"

Qiu Yan listened and said with a smile: "Didn't Brother Zhang say, 'But there is surplus money to support the lonely, widowed and poor people of the clan'?"

"Yes, do you remember clearly, this Xie Yuan is not for nothing," Zhang Zhen patted his thigh, "This clan is fundamental, that is, there are mutual discord, and they can't break the path of life?"

"These are other people's family affairs, and there is a way that it is difficult for a clean official to decide family affairs," Qiu Yan shook his head, "Or because of the atmosphere, if everyone has the concept of helping the poor and helping the poor, it can be eliminated, but unfortunately it is easy to say, but it is so difficult to do, and people's hearts are unpredictable." ”

"That makes sense. Zhang Zhen also shook his head and thought of something.

Seeing that the expressions of the other people were different, Qiu Yan changed the topic and asked Zhou Guandao: "Brother Zhou, I don't know if you can read the letter I asked someone to send before?"

Zhou Guan listened, his face was ashamed, and said: "I was about to tell my brother about this, I was going to accompany Brother Qiu to study, but my father was ready to let me enter Quanyou Academy, you also know my situation at home, for the sake of my mother, I can only obey my father's order." ”

"I see, it should be, to be able to enter the academy and get the inheritance of Confucianism, it is a happy event, for my brother to toast you here, it can also be regarded as borrowing flowers to offer Buddha to celebrate you. He raised his glass.

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

"Thank you, brothers. ”

The three of them drank it all.

It didn't take long for the red-faced Luo Jiayun to come over, toast with a few friends, and leave after a while.

For a whole day, the Luo family was immersed in festivities, but it was a little late, so Luo Jiayun still took time to come over to send off friends.

"Brother Qiu, I will say goodbye today, and I will meet again in Xingjing in February next year. Zhou Guan looked at Qiu Yan and said.

Several people said goodbye to Qiu Yan, and after knowing Zhou Guan's decision, Qiu Yan told them that as soon as the wedding was over, they would start directly.

"Aren't you in a hurry?" Luo Jiayun drank a lot of wine and felt dizzy, but he still felt reluctant to leave his friend.

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

Zhang Zhen had seen Ji Zheng and knew a little about it, so he took the opportunity and said: "What the virtuous brother said is good, then the brother is here to wish you a smooth journey." ”

"Have a nice trip. ”

"Take care. ”

Luo Jiayun and Zhou Guan also said goodbye.

"Everyone, there will be a period later!" Qiu Yan bowed goodbye, turned on his horse, and whipped away, and Hu Qi and Dai Guo also rode to follow.

Looking at Qiu Yan's distant back, the remaining three people all had an inexplicable emotion in their hearts.

..................

At the same time, outside the courtyard door of Liu Huai's house in Yuanning Mansion, an old man came, followed by several Confucian students, one of whom stepped forward and knocked on the door.

"Liu Weng can be in Zhang Zhicao of Xiaquanyou Academy, and Master Zhao came to visit ......" (to be continued......)
