...
The two wandered to the foot of the mountain.
People were coming and going along the way. At this time, when spring was blooming, boys and girls from Chang'an City came in groups to enjoy the spring around the mountains and green forests. Yingping, who had not experienced popularity for a long time, felt some uncontrollable excitement in his heart. At this time, he was very proud of the spring breeze. Although he could not see all the flowers in Chang'an in one day, he could still feel comfortable seeing the mountains, scenery and people along the way. Isn't it? Thinking about the past year, I have entered a poor family. Although I did not directly become my teacher, I still became the disciple of Wen Junchen. I am in the company of such a proud man as the third uncle all day long. My good brother Ye Changshan is always by his side, and I have no one. My adoptive father is by my side to discipline me... Yes, my adoptive father... I haven't seen my adoptive father for more than half a year. Speaking of which, I really miss him. The same goes for that girl Yiyi, who used to follow her behind all day long. It looks like a little tail. I haven’t seen him for so long and I don’t know if he misses me... It’s all his fault! If you can't go down the mountain yourself, you can go up the mountain and have a look!
In the distance, several young men and women were riding horses and strolling around. Judging from their clothes, they were definitely not ordinary people. Their clothes were all made of brocade, jade and silk. Especially the young man in yellow who was the leader, this group of people He seems to be following his lead. People passing by also knew that this pedestrian had a good background, so they either stayed away or said hello respectfully, but the pedestrian turned a blind eye to these things and just focused on playing and chatting, sometimes walking forward slowly, sometimes riding horses. When you raise your whip, you won't feel anything wrong even if it splashes mud or raises dust.
Everyone gathered around the young man in yellow, their expressions looking somewhat flattering. One of them smiled and said——
"Young Master, I heard that you recently found a job in the palace?"
The one called Young Master was none other than the young master in yellow from Ma Shou, but he turned a deaf ear to it, as if he hadn't heard anything. But the people around him didn’t want to miss the opportunity, and they all came forward to express their thanks——
"Ah, the young master actually entered the court to seek employment? Then we must congratulate him..."
"Yes, congratulations..."
"Young Master will certainly be able to fulfill his great ambitions, so don't forget your brothers when the time comes!"
For a time, praises and congratulations were heard endlessly, including some flattery and flattery.
The young man in yellow felt sick in his heart. Although he did not show it, he did not want to continue listening to these useless words, so he raised his hand to stop everyone.
"It's just an idle position, so don't mention it."
"Hey, how can this be said to be an idle position? We still don't know what the young master is capable of...?"
What is my master's ability? There are some, but I'm afraid my master's ability is far from enough for this matter! The young man in yellow thought silently. This school administrative office was established by the Holy Spirit quietly. If my aunt and uncle didn't have great hands and eyes, I might not be able to set foot in it alone. He knew the pros and cons of joining the school affairs office. Even his aunt reminded him a few words about this matter: "Don't make any noise and keep a low profile." It would be of no benefit to the family if irrelevant people knew too much and it would displease the Holy Father. .
"Don't mention it, don't mention it!"
Seeing that the young man in yellow had a slightly harsh tone, everyone immediately shut up, for fear of making the young master unhappy.
Everyone was silent for a while, and it felt awkward to follow. But the young man in yellow was thoughtful, not caring about the sudden silence behind him at this moment, and his eyes wandered aimlessly at the tourists coming and going.
Suddenly, something in the distance attracted his attention. He, who had been uninterested a moment ago, suddenly straightened up and his eyes gradually became sharper - he saw two teenagers riding a cow slowly and leisurely. Walk on the road.
He had never seen the two young men before, but the old scalper seemed familiar to him. As the third generation leader of the Wang family, he naturally has many things that are different from ordinary people. Among them, his ability to recognize people and objects is one of them. Whenever he sees people or things, even if it is just a glance, he will All of them can be remembered, otherwise they would not be loved and reused by the two elders.
Although they only met once, he had roughly guessed the identity of the owner of the scalper... yes, it should be the scholar...
Indeed, Wen Junchen rode this cow to give lectures at Taiyuan University. The young man in yellow was listening in the inner room and did not show up. He only had a half-face at the end. What impressed him most was that he was tied in the manger of Taiyuan University. The old ox stood among the horses. The horse next to it kept neighing and raising its hooves at it, but it didn't hear it and just closed its eyes.
If this cow belongs to the poor scholar, then the two young men riding on the cow's back are naturally the two newcomers to the poor family, and the illegitimate child must be one of them!
The young man in yellow first looked at the two young men from a distance with an expressionless face, and then smiled sideways, his eyes extremely frivolous. He waved, and then a young man behind him rode a horse alongside him, leaning towards him as if to please.
"Young Master, what are your orders..."
"Did you see those two teenagers on the back of the cow? Later you..."
On this side, Ye Changshan and Yingping were tired of sitting, so they led the cows and walked on the road. Anyway, they were only a few miles away from the east gate.
Yingping looked around, feeling very happy. Ye Changshan followed behind and held the cow rope. The worries in his heart were reduced a lot along the way. He was still a little uneasy at first, but now it seems that his worries are unfounded. In addition, enjoying the scenery along the way is indeed pleasant, so at this time Somewhat lucky to follow Ying Ping out.
Just as the two were enjoying all the hard-won pleasure, a group of people blocked their way. Ye Changshan and Yingping saw that the other party had a large number of people, and they knew in their hearts that they should not cause trouble on this trip, so they tried to avoid this group of people in a low-key manner, but this group of people acted as if they were deliberately blocking the way, and they lined up and refused to let them go.
"Excuse me…..."
"May I ask you two gentlemen, how come you come down from this mountain?" Before Ye Changshan could ask, a young man among them spoke first, with a very polite tone.
Ye Changshan and Ying Ping looked at each other, not knowing who the person was, or whether he was good or evil, so they looked at the man warily and refused to speak.
"May I ask if this young master is Mr. Ye of Ye Changshan?"
"Who are you......"
"Oh, please don't get me wrong, you two young masters. I am a student from Chang'an. I saw Young Master Xiao Ye at the gate of Taiyuan University on the day of the announcement. I admired him greatly. We are destined to meet today. It is really fate!"
It turned out that he was Hanzi in the same class. On the day the results were announced, Ye Changshan was surrounded by people, so it was natural for him to be remembered. Seeing that the man was just an ordinary student in Chang'an City, the two of them relaxed their vigilance a little.
"Dare to ask, brother..."
"Young Master Ye is extremely talented. He outperformed all other talents in the Cold Examination Ceremony. Even Jiang Changming, Young Master Jiang is a match for you. I am so impressed! I am so impressed!"
The man just kept talking to himself like a barrage of words. Although he said it politely, he didn't show any intention to dismount. He had a condescending aura that made people very uncomfortable. Moreover, the group of people behind them looked at the two of them with half-smiling smiles, as if they were examining them, and as if they were expecting something. One young man in yellow, in particular, kept staring at Yingping, as if he was not interested in Ye Changshan at all.
"This brother has received the award. It's just a fluke. It's just a fluke."
"Hahaha, young master Ye, there is no need to be modest. The humble family is at the top of the cultural, educational and martial arts in the Central Plains. We admire and even envy you. Since young master Ye has become a disciple of Mr. Ye, can you share what you have seen, heard and taught in the disciples? Would you like to tell us a little bit about it?"
"Wen is just teaching the Four Books and Five Classics, and martial arts is just some basic practice, nothing special."
Ye Changshan felt that the purpose of this group of people was unknown, and he always felt that something was wrong, so he thought about getting over it quickly.
"There were so many people that day that I was unable to properly ask Mr. Ye for advice. I still regret it today. I think we are also believers from a humble family and admirers of Mr. Ye. Today we meet Mr.'s direct disciples. How can we not ask for advice?"
"Ha, thank you for your kindness. Unfortunately today, we are in a hurry. If there is a chance next time, I will ask my brother for advice..."
The two took the cow and wanted to leave, but the man jumped off the horse and blocked their way.
"Eh? Don't be impatient, young masters. I'm just giving you some advice. It's a game...it's a game! Hahaha——"
The two looked at each other, and suddenly a bad feeling crept into their hearts.
"Then what does this brother want to do..."
The man seemed to have been prepared for it. He said: "The 'Wen' is definitely not as good as yours, Young Master Ye. I have the guts to ask Young Master Ye for advice on 'Wu'."
Isn't this obviously bullying! ? Seeing that you are all young and middle-aged, are you competing with us two children? Thank you for having the nerve.
But although I think so in my heart, I can't say it directly. It's okay if I don't know him, but now that he is recognized by others, it represents the appearance of a humble family! This didn't mean it should or shouldn't. The two of them stood there awkwardly, even a little panicked in their hearts.
"My dear friend, we do have important matters today. Can you please make it easier for us to leave? Let's talk about the discussion another day..."
The man looked at the two of them with great interest, full of teasing.
This scrutinizing look made Ying Ping very angry. If Ye Changshan hadn't grabbed his wrist with his hand, he would have started to fight with this man. Why? Because he feels useless, his head can be cut off, his blood can be shed, and his face must not be lost! Growing up, I was the only one who bullied others. When did I allow others to bully me? Normally when you encounter such a person, you would fight if you can beat him. If you can't beat him with dirty tricks and take advantage, then run away. But now he is not alone. Even if he doesn't think about the long shirt, he still has to consider Forrest Gump... .
"What? Young Master Ye, are you... afraid?" The man's voice suddenly rose a bit, and he turned his head and said loudly to the group behind him: "Is it possible that a disciple from a humble family is still afraid? Can’t we discuss it?”
After that, there was a burst of laughter. When passers-by heard the man mention the words "disciple of a poor family", they all stopped curiously. At this moment, everyone burst into laughter, and their interest in watching the excitement was even more aroused. After a while, they formed a small circle.
"Just compete! What are you afraid of!"
How could Yingping stand this anger? At this time, he not only represents the poor family and the gentleman, but also represents the third senior brother! Who is Third Senior Brother? How could he be so angry as a coward? It is a small matter to embarrass oneself, but a big matter to embarrass the master! What's more, Ying Ping's spirit has gradually become higher these days. Even if he risks his little life, he still wants to show the prestige of our humble family!
Seeing Yingping's response, the young master in yellow immediately cheered up. Not to mention Ye Changshan, even if Wen Junchen was in front of him, he didn't bother to take another look. At this moment, the only thing he paid attention to was the young man who looked so full of blood but so young. Very young.
"Are you crazy!?" Ye Changshan shouted softly.
But Yingping ignored him, walked up from behind Ye Changshan, and said loudly: "Why do I need my uncle to take action when competing with you people?"
Master uncle? Who is the uncle? Don't you have any other junior disciples? The man was confused.
"Who are you......?"
"I am the third generation disciple of the Han Clan and a disciple of Wen Junchen - Yingping!"
The voice that was neither humble nor arrogant reached everyone's ears, and now it was everyone's turn to be a little confused. The man turned back to look at the young man in yellow. The young man in yellow narrowed his eyes slightly at this time. He was weighing the matter in his mind. He didn't look at the monk's face and the Buddha's face. Since his identity was revealed, it was impossible not to give these two The faces of the great gods behind the young man...but this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity cannot be let go...
Gradually, the young man in yellow closed his eyes, making the man a little confused.
Suddenly, the young man in yellow smiled contemptuously, looking extremely frivolous, as if everything didn't matter. He slowly opened his eyes and gently raised his head to signal.
The man naturally knew what this 'young master' meant. Since he had his master to support him, he naturally had no scruples. He walked to a relatively empty place, condescendingly stretched out his right hand in a 'please' gesture, and said slowly and carefully. Said loudly——
"Please enlighten me!"
