The Taibai Mountains are a sea of blood.
Hundreds of miles away, in Huaxing County, the sun is shining brightly, and thousands of families are surrounded by willows and green smoke.
Without his son, Liu Quansheng, the father-in-law, is still a little lonely. Apart from teaching and studying every day, when he is free, he really doesn't know where to spend his time.
On the first day of June, twenty miles east of Lingyuan City, Liu Quansheng had nothing to do and came to Zhangjiacun holding a game of chess. Finding an area with beautiful mountains and clear waters, he yawned and lay down on the ground, folding his hands under his head as a pillow, feeling very relaxed and comfortable.
In the summer wheat waves, Liu Quansheng sat alone until dusk watching the two brothers Wang Shanhu and Wang Shuihu abandon their evil deeds and turn to good deeds and work hard at farming.
As soon as dusk arrives, the sound of the cave flute is far away, and the sun sets over the long sky. Neighboring towns look at each other, and the sounds of chickens and dogs are heard. Men gather in small groups, singing wild songs, carrying hoes, and rush back to the village with smoke from the kitchen in the distance. , the women should have already boiled the wine, fried the vegetables, and warmed the porridge, waiting for their husbands to return in triumph.
This small Feng Shui land, which originally belonged to Wangjia Village, was later occupied by the Liu Xing Tu clan, and then rebuilt and designated by Ding Xinchuan, finally welcomed back the clouds and peace of the past.
After reforming his evil ways, Wang Shanhu became the village chief of Wangjia Village. In his prime, he led a group of brothers around the farmland all day long, enjoying himself. According to his words: As long as we farmers have some livelihood, No one wants to be the dog of a rich family. It feels uncomfortable to be poked in the spine and scolded by the villagers all day long!
A peaceful world, with good political leadership and the fireworks it brings to the world are the rarest luxuries that ordinary people want.
When literati secure a state and military men establish a country, isn’t the last thing they seek is peace in the world?
Liu Quansheng politely declined the invitation from the Wang brothers to come to the village for a drink. When the farmers returned to the village and there was no one around, he spread out the chess pieces and slowly placed them on the chessboard sketched with branches.
Liu Quansheng was arranging the chess pieces and said to himself, "Mr. Wang! Counting this year, I have known you for five years, right?"
"Back then, my father Liu Xing led people to massacre all the people in Wangjia Village on unfounded charges for the fertile land of Wangjia Village. You are considered to have survived the disaster. I took Yi'er with me a few years ago. I happened to meet you when I was collecting scenery in the countryside."
Seeing the scenery here, Liu Quansheng felt a little dazed. He felt that Mr. Wang was beside him. He turned around and looked around, but there was no one there. He couldn't help but feel sad. m.
Liu Quansheng shook his head and smiled, "There are many hermits in the countryside. Although you are a small village chief, with your chess skills, the younger generation has never won one or two. But strangely enough, when you and Yi'er played against each other, you never conceded. Yi'er has lost before. Haha! You old man, you are really a protective person!"
Liu Quansheng was talking to himself, but there was no answer, and his handsome face was filled with deep disappointment.
In the deep woods, where the insects are buzzing, even if there is a slight coolness, it is just the wind!
Liu Quansheng lowered his head and said in despair, "As the last clan elder of Wangjiacun, you must be very lonely! Look, I brought Wang Shanhu and Wang Shuihu back to you! The roots of Wangjiacun have taken root again! The juniors from five years ago The things I promised you will be fulfilled this year!”
The cool breeze blew by, and Liu Quansheng's eyes suddenly turned red, "Junior came to see you a few days ago, and you said that you just felt cold occasionally! What happened? You died yesterday?"
The long sword roars across the rivers and seas, instigating the change of mountains and rivers; time waits for no one, and every man has his own style.
In the eyes of the world, you are a small person; but in this world, if there were no small people like you, how could there be any romance in the world?
"Just wait there with peace of mind! In a few decades, I will go down to find you after I have finished my funeral. Then you and I will play chess. Can you also let me go?"
After sighing, Liu Quan danced his long sleeves, and as his thoughts surged, all the chess pieces left the ground and hovered in front of him. He gently touched the soldier piece closest to him, and then moved his fingers lightly. The space fluctuated violently, and two sounds were heard. A set of thirty-two chess pieces turned into powder and scattered in the fields and alleys in the wind.
Let this unfinished game of chess go down below to accompany you!
Liu Quansheng rubbed his sour nose, fluttered his sleeves, and turned back to the city.
The battle formations are divided and combined, the enemy is in charge of social affairs, and in the face of national crisis, he has sacrificed his life to become a benevolent person.
The world is a game of chess, and for the final victory, every chess piece needs to be sacrificed!
...
Liu Quansheng was leisurely and at ease, meeting old friends in the fields and countryside all day long.
A few days ago, Liu Yi's chief steward Huangfu Lu was really busy.
Before Liu Yi left, he handed over all the family property to Huangfu Lu. Huangfu Lu, who was the same age as Liu Yi, was overwhelmed with the internal and external affairs of Wangnan Tower and Wangnanju.
Fortunately, he found helpers like the Mous and Guo Yizhi.
Liu Yi and Huangfu Lu, one dared to use it and the other dared to write it.
After Huangfu Lu met Guo Yizhi that day, he sent a letter to Liu Yi. After reading it, Liu Yi did not hesitate to use Guo Yizhi and handed over the daily management of Wangnan Tower to Guo Yizhi. In charge, Huangfu Lu came to look at the South Tower from time to time.
Now, Huangfu Lu's pressure was greatly reduced!
Under the supervision of Guo Yizhi, a master of copying, Wangnan Tower's business was extremely prosperous. In order to attract customers, this guy set three rules, carved them on wooden boards, and stood in front of Wangnan Tower's door.
The first is to register each customer who deposits more than 1,000 baht in advance and issue a VIP invitation. With this invitation, the guest can enjoy the dish price of 90% of the 1000 baht. The second is to allow the customer to deposit wine. If there is more than half a jar of wine left, you can store it here for drinking again.
The most amazing thing is the third one!
Anyone who spends more than hardware in total will receive a copy of Guo Yizhi's calligraphy and painting as a gift. Don’t underestimate the third point. In the peaceful and prosperous times, entertainment was becoming more and more popular, and calligraphy and painting were booming. Even the fakes copied by famous artists were worth hundreds of baht. What’s more, Guo Yizhi, a famous copyist who became famous at a young age, one day, he was drunk. The cursive script he wrote at that time, "An inch of heart in your arms, will never change in a thousand years", was bought back at a high price of 1,500 baht. It was amazing to see, and some famous calligraphers believed it to be true.
Guo Yizhi's management, coupled with Liu Quansheng's reputation, Liu Yi's reputation, and Ying Cheng's support that day, the entire Wangnan Tower business actually steadily surpassed that of Qingyin Pavilion. .
Guo Yizhi is an honest person when it comes to wealth and benevolence. Apart from being a bit addicted to alcohol, he is never dirty with money matters. Huangfu Lu checked the accounts several times and found nothing missing. He couldn't help but secretly sigh that he had found a treasure!
Speaking of the Mou siblings, we have to talk about them separately.
When Mou Zihua and Mou Huazi's siblings fled, they burned down the Mou family's house in the south of the city, but Mr. Mou's land was still there. After the fall of the Liu family in Lingyuan, with the mediation of Ying Zhi and Liu Quansheng, the name of the land deed was changed to his younger brother Mou Huazi. This made Mou Huazi, who had been studying at Zigui Academy for nearly half a year, even more grateful to Mr. Liu Quansheng.
After obtaining the land, at Liu Quansheng's suggestion, Huangfu Lu temporarily sent the thirty strong men he recruited to Mouhuazi, and hired some craftsmen to prepare to open a silk and satin shop called Wangnan Brocade. If the men With quick hands and feet, it will be open for business in another month. By then, Hirata's army will have another boost.
As for the internal affairs of Wangnanju, Huangfu Lu left it to his sister Mou Zihua. This little girl grew up in a wealthy family, and it was her first time to take care of such a large residence. With their care, Wang Nanju was managed in an orderly and clean manner.
With these three people, Huangfu Lu has almost lost his temper these days!
The long alleys of the market, the shops and hawkers, are like fireworks when gathered together, and the human world when spread out.
...
Wang Nanju's foreign affairs have taken Huangfu Lu a lot of thought in recent days.
After Liu Yi left, there was an endless stream of people coming to visit, including those seeking help from the gate, those seeking help from the dock, those asking for help, and those making wishes, all of which made the twelve-year-old man overwhelmed and often unable to cope.
Apart from Huangfu Lu, only Wang Sanbao is still in Lingyuan City among the "Five Primary Schools". However, this boy is devoted to studying "Smallpox Scroll" and ignores everyone. He is like a "mentally retarded" and has nowhere to take over.
With no way to go to heaven and no way to go down to earth, Huangfu Lu had no choice but to find an appropriate opportunity to ask Liu Quansheng for advice.
On this day, Huangfu Lu came to visit and told Mr. Liu Quansheng the difficulties in his heart. After pouring out his sorrow, Huangfu Lu asked for advice, "Teacher, if the student is in trouble, please give me some advice!"
"Accept what you should accept and don't accept what shouldn't be accepted. Is there any advice you can give me? When you encounter difficulties in the future, will you ask your elders to help you tide over them? Get out of here!"
Liu Quansheng said something harmless and took Huangfu Lu out of the school.
Huangfu Lu walked out of Zigui Academy without tears.
When Huangfu Lu walked out of the school, Liu Quansheng stood at the door of the school and said with a smile, "In a few years, I will get married and have children. What a good thing for you. After being bullied, you actually come back to look for your elders? Shameless!"
Liu Quansheng laughed and scolded, and without giving Huangfu Lu a chance to speak, he closed the door of Zigui Academy neatly.
"Hey! Mr. Da, a man gets married at 20, a woman gets married at 15, and she still has eight years to go! How come she just marries a wife and has children?"
Huangfu couldn't hold his breath, so he turned around and knocked on the door. No one in the school responded, so he encouraged himself and left, saying, "Humph! Mr. Big will take some time off!"
Young people grow up again and again after experiencing ups and downs.
What's rare is that as we grow up again and again, teenagers are still teenagers.
...
Eight months after the Huaxing flood, Huaxing County has finally recovered.
On June 15th, the day of the big gathering, Guo Yizhi rolled up his sleeves and stood at the gate of Wangnan Tower, squinting arrogantly at the receptionist of Qingyin Pavilion who also looked down upon him.
The two of them are like enemies in a martial arts arena. Every time there is a big gathering, they will square off and fight to the death.
At three o'clock in the morning, the crowd gradually increased, and each of them showed their magical powers, using a thousand ways of flattering and making various excuses to welcome thousands of visitors.
At the beginning of noon, the bayonet saw red, and the 'war' entered a white-hot stage.
At three quarters of noon, the young and careless Guo Yizhi felt defeated again. The two of them sat at the door, looked at each other, raised their chests and raised their heads, and went back to their respective homes.
Today, at the central stage of Wangnan Building, Guo Yizhi went to great lengths to invite Ding Xinchuan, the magistrate of Lingyuan County, to interpret the "Five Grains Civil Order" for diners and drinkers.
We can take this opportunity to discipline the people and pave the way for governance. Ding Xinchuan, the leader of the county, is naturally happy.
As soon as noon arrived, Ding Xinchuan, dressed in plain clothes, happily went to the appointment.
This kind of scene, no matter whether you like what Ding Xinchuan said or not, as long as you have some brains, this love scene and human scene must be praised. Therefore, today's Wangnan Building is naturally very lively and full of guests.
Ding Xinchuan was talking eloquently on the stage, and the diners were applauding the food in the audience, creating a lively atmosphere.
Inadvertently, a lean man came to the table and drank, sitting alone under the center stage. A black cloak covered most of his face. Everyone just thought he was an ordinary wanderer.
Just when Ding Xinchuan was talking with great interest, the lean man stood up suddenly, pulled off his cloak, threw the cup to the ground, with a sad expression on his face, "Third Young Master, I know I have made a mistake and regret it, and I have come here to plead guilty. Why are you here?" You still want to kill me to silence me!"
The lean man vomited blood and fell to the ground silently.
Some sharp-eyed diners saw this square face, pointed nose, and dark cheeks, and immediately exclaimed, "Isn't this Liu's housekeeper, Liu Bu!"
Some people died, but not completely...
