"The sight of others is like a flickering ghost fire, and all the demons disturb the heart. I have a heart of red stone and a high road to the sky."
Jiang Buwan raised his eyes, his eyes were not as shy and artificial as usual, but calm and free. He was stunned in place for a moment. He rarely saw her like this, like a resolute and meaningless female warrior.
"Why are you afraid of other people's opinions?"
Xiang Zhihan chuckled, "I underestimated my wife."
Xiang Zhihan didn't want to spoil today's fun, and he didn't embarrass them publicly, but secretly he still cast spells on the scholars who scolded them the most. It wasn't a vicious method, it would just make them unlucky. Just a few days.
But instead of looking for trouble, trouble found them.
They had just walked to the waterside pavilion by the lake and sat down to watch the lotus flowers in the lake. On the other side of the waterside pavilion, there were two or three scholars and literati, admiring the lotus and composing poems. One of them had been defeated by Jiang Buwan on the street. He had been secretly With hatred in his heart, he took the opportunity to retaliate. Today, all the great talents in the county are here. Is it possible that he can't compare to Jiang?
"Master Jiang." The man greeted Jiang Buwan from a distance, smiling slightly but not smiling at all. "What a fate. I didn't expect to see Master here."
The literati who were traveling with them looked over. Several of them looked at the two of them up and down without saying a word.
The man continued, "Don't misjudge the person."
"The master I'm talking about is not this man, but this lady."
The eyes of several people traveling with him changed instantly, but after all, he was a well-known scholar in the county. He did not slander him like the people on the streets of Qingshui Town that day. They only turned away and looked at him with disdain.
"Don't look down on Mrs. Jiang, she is a great talent in our town." The man said, "Not to mention me, even other students in our county are no match for Mrs. Jiang."
As he spoke, he shook his head and said, "Master Jiang was chatting with scholars on the street and killing everyone."
Although he was praising Jiang for not being too late, she could clearly see that there was malice in his eyes.
Sure enough, one of the colleagues couldn't help but said, "It's just a woman. Brother Wenbo, isn't he exaggerating?"
"Brother Qingshan, everything I say is true. If you don't believe me, you can just ask questions in our town."
"Do you really have such a great ability?" The man looked at Jiang Buwan with arrogant eyes, and he was critical of Jiang Buwan from the corners of his eyes and eyebrows.
Jiang Buwan was too lazy to listen to this guy sowing dissension. If she stayed any longer, those people would cause trouble for her later.
"Husband, let's go first."
"good."
Xiang Zhihan: He should put a silence spell on these spoilers.
"Master Jiang, please walk slowly." Jiang Wenbo stopped Jiang Buwan, "These are all great talents in the county. Master Jiang is quick-thinking and full of knowledge. How about we compose poems together?"
"Writing poetry?" Jiang Buwan said calmly, "I'm not good at writing poetry, so I'd better not disturb your enjoyment."
Everyone laughed when they heard this, "Brother Wenbo, this is the great Master Jiang you mentioned? What kind of Master is he who can't even compose poetry? It's simply misleading."
Jiang Buwan didn't want to pay attention to them anymore and turned around to leave. Suddenly a man came towards him and said loudly, "Why, can't I be a master if I can't compose poetry?"
"There are thousands of people with knowledge in the world, and poetry is not the only one."
The visitor was dressed in a light purple brocade robe, with a jade ring on his waist and a jewel on his head. At first glance, he was a young master from a wealthy family.
"Who are you?" Jiang Wenbo asked.
The visitor bowed and saluted and said, "The young man's surname is Cui Mingjing, and his courtesy name is Boran. The current river director is the deputy of the river governor Yang Ce."
Although all of the people here have achieved fame, they have not yet received their posts. They are still in white. When they heard that the person who came was an official, they did not say that they were still working under a high official like the Governor of the River.
No one dared to say anything for fear of offending him.
"I have met you, sir." Cui Jing looked at Jiang Buwan, bent down and gave Jiang Buwan a very respectful junior salute, "Student, I have taken the liberty to come here. I hope you will forgive me, sir."
"Student?" Jiang Buwan said, "I don't remember accepting you."
Cui Jing raised his head and smiled sweetly, somewhat relying on her, "Sir, he once taught my teacher Governor Yang a general strategy, and asked my teacher Governor Yang to come and ask you anytime if there is anything he doesn't understand. Master is busy, so I sent him I’m here to ask sir for advice.”
"So, am I not your student?"
Cui Jing did not lower his voice deliberately, so everyone present heard every word he said.
Several people were surprised by Cui Jing's attitude towards Jiang Buwan, but they were shocked after hearing Cui Jing's words.
Jiang Buwan is actually Governor Yang’s husband? !
At this time, they looked at each other with regret in their eyes.
Isn't it that they have studied hard for many years in order to achieve great success in their official careers? As a result, before they even entered the officialdom, they offended the master of the governor of the river. How could they get along in the officialdom in the future? Don't talk about it. I'm afraid I won't even be able to enter the officialdom.
Several people's faces turned pale, especially Jiang Wenbo, who had been ridiculing Jiang Buwan. He was so angry that his intestines turned green with regret.
What did he do to provoke her? !
I hope Mr. Jiang will be magnanimous and forgive him.
Jiang Buwan smiled, "Yang Ce sent someone with a sweet and clever mouth."
Xiang Zhihan looked confused and asked quietly, "Wanwan, when did you meet the Governor of the River?"
Looks like he taught the River Governor something amazing?
He was very curious about what Jiang Buwan said to the Governor of Hedao to make a high-ranking official value her so much and even worship her as his disciple.
Jiang Buwan: "When I was in Lin'an County."
"I told him a good way to control the river and a book, and he said he wanted to become my teacher."
Xiang Zhihan's eyes were surprised, river management? Jiang Buwan still knows how to manage rivers?
He recalled that in Lin'an that day, Jiang Buwan seemed to have quite a rapport with the young man, and he expressed his admiration for the young man's idea of managing the Li River.
It turns out that she already had a countermeasure.
"Sir, I brought a manuscript copy of this book." Cui Jing said, taking out a book from his arms, "This book is wonderful, it can be called the first book on river management, but the content is profound, and in some places Master Neither I nor I quite understand it, but Master is currently busy in river management in the south, so he cannot go to ask for advice in person, so he specially sent me to ask for advice."
Cui Jing had set out half a month ago, and today he hurriedly and slowly arrived at Qingshui Town and found Lin'an Hall.
He heard from the girl that Jiang Buwan had just left, and he was afraid that something might happen again, so he quickly followed Jiang Buwan, only to catch up with her here.
"I understand why you are here." Jiang Buwan said, "I opened a school in Qingshui Town and taught the children how to read in the morning. Why don't you stay for now and help in the school in the morning? I will explain it to you in detail in the afternoon. What’s the content of this book like?”
Cui Jing was overjoyed. Originally, he was worried that Jiang Buwan would be weird and unwilling to teach him, but he didn't expect Jiang Buwan to be so easy to talk to.
