Chapter 98 Hate in the world
Yin Dun returned home and went to the church to see his father.
After learning that his son knew both classics and had the best advice from the Book of Songs, Yin Youqi couldn't hold back his joy and laughed heartily.
Yin Dun looked at his father with some surprise. In his impression, his father always smiled gently and showed no emotion or anger. It was a happy event that he learned two classics, and his father would not necessarily lose his temper with joy.
After Yin Dun sat down, Yin Youqi slowly stopped laughing, stroking his beard and said: "There have been many happy events in the family recently, and my father has been a little out of sorts."
No wonder all the Yin friends were so happy that they bet on Dai Guosheng and won nearly 900 taels of gold. His colleagues in the East Palace congratulated him one after another and explained that the emperor had ordered someone to take the portrait of his daughter from the East Palace for royal viewing.
Yin Youqi's heart was beating wildly. Although it was not difficult for Zhen'er to enter the East Palace, there were only two positions for the crown prince's concubines. There was fierce competition among the scholars. After thinking about it carefully, Yin Youqi felt that it was almost hopeless.
Knowing that the emperor had taken Zhen'er's portrait for royal viewing, Yin's friends took fifty gold together and went to the palace attendant Wei Qing to inquire about the news.
From Wei Qing's mouth, he learned that the emperor praised Yin Huizhen after seeing her portrait and praised her as "a good match." Yin friends were so happy that they knew that Zhen'er would become the crown prince's concubine.
It was really unintentional. It seems that because my memorial letter caught the eye of the emperor, the eight-year plan was finally implemented. All my friends were overjoyed and felt like they were crying.
Wei Qing had fifty gold in his sleeves, looked at Yin Youqi who was full of joy, and said with a smile: "I also want to congratulate Brother Yin. The emperor asked the King of Kuaiji to appoint Brother Yin to Shangshang when he takes the exam. Brother Yin's day of success is coming.
,Don’t forget about my little brother then.”
It was considered to be the fourth time of happiness, and even though Yinyou was a master of Qi Yangqi, he couldn't help but feel happy. He ordered people to serve wine, and the father and son drank happily.
"How about Yang Anxuan Tong Jing?" Yin Youqi asked.
"An Xuantong's Analects of Confucius and Shangshu are both taken from the best. If Dr. Che doesn't stop them, both classics must be taken from the first." Yin Dun said with emotion: "An Xuan's talent is rarely seen in the world. Dr. Che
Accept him as your disciple on the spot."
The Yin friends all stopped drinking. The changes in the family began when Yang Quanqi became the governor of Xinye. His father wrote a letter saying that this year the family's income has increased by 30% compared with previous years, and this does not include sugar frost.
Sugar frost has become a tribute, and five stones are brought to the palace every year, with each stone costing 50,000 yuan. This is a loss-making business.
But once the excess icing is put on the market, Yin Youqi can imagine the sensation it will cause. The price of one tael of sugar and one tael of gold seems to him to be a bit low.
This time, Yan Dai won the bet in Beijing. It is said that the gambling capital exceeded hundreds of millions. There are many wealthy families in the world, but I am afraid that there will be no supply of icing sugar.
With the more than 800 taels of gold they had won, Yinyouqi was ready to do something big. He bought several shops in Nanshi and sold Bichun tea, sugar frosting, and cloud festival paper.
These three things were all obtained by Yang Anxuan. Thinking of all the strange things about this boy, Yin Youqi warned: "Dun'er should have more contact with Anxuan. It would be best to become brothers."
I sighed in my heart, I only have a daughter like Yin Huizhen, otherwise it would be great to recruit Yang Anxuan as my son-in-law.
Yin Dun said with a smile: "Haier and An Xuan are almost inseparable. They are close friends. Tomorrow Haier is going to hold a banquet to say goodbye to An Xuan and several friends from Guozixue, and An Xuan is preparing to leave for Tangyi to celebrate the New Year."
The Yin friends all nodded and said, "You can pay ten taels of gold to your account so that you can spend more money."
…………
The Qinhuai River is lined with rows of painted boats, and there are bursts of music and singing.
As the Chinese New Year approaches, red lanterns are hung on all the boats, and some are tied with red silk to decorate the entire Qinhuai River with joy.
Tao Ping, Gan Yue, Liu Zhong and others were all going home to celebrate the New Year one after another in the past few days, so Yin Dun simply called them all.
A few people were strolling along the long street beside the Qinhuai River. Their long sleeves were fluttering and their steps were windy. The young master was handsome and elegant. The key was that he was dressed gorgeously. He must have a lot of money around his waist. The red-sleeved prostitutes along the street beckoned each other, and the boat swayed closer.
Inquiring sweetly.
Gan Yue smiled and said: "An Xuan is famous far and wide in the Qinhuai River. Telling his name may be worth real money."
Yin Dun smiled, remembering that Yuehua from Yiqiu Tower had sent several letters, expressing her longing for her with sad words, and inviting herself to play.
But after Miao Lan's incident, Yin Dun had already seen Yuehua clearly. Even if he went there again, it would be just a show. Moreover, An Xuan didn't like Yuehua. How could he alienate An Xuan because of Yuehua's incident.
Liu Zhong thought of Xing Niang and wondered how she was doing after receiving Yang Anxuan's help, so he said, "How about going to Xing Niang's boat to listen to "Lovesickness"?"
Tao Ping laughed and said, "Brother Liu, is he very much in love with Xing Niang? Hahahaha."
Looking for someone to send a message, but not even a stick of incense arrived, Xingniang's painted boat hurriedly arrived.
Xing Niang wears a light green flowered coat and a yellow pleated skirt, which is long and touching the floor. She draws her eyebrows into her temples, and uses yellow powder to draw a crescent shape between her eyebrows. This is the popular "yellow forehead makeup" in Beijing. Compared with the last time
When we met, the clothes were much more gorgeous.
After welcoming Yang Anxuan and others into the cabin, Xing Niang prostrated herself and said sweetly: "Xing Niang has met all of you, young masters."
His eyes were as full as water, falling on Yang Anxuan, full of gratitude.
Liu Zhong took a look at the furnishings in the cabin. The desks had been replaced, the paintings on the walls were new, and the original curtains were replaced with cyan silk. He smiled and said, "It seems that Madam Xing is doing well recently."
Xingniang said gratefully: "Xingniang is really good at the new music passed down by Master Lai Yang. Several young masters are here, so Xingniang will invite you today."
Yin Dun smiled and said, "That's not necessary. Today Yin is going to bid farewell to all the brothers. Just tell the cook to make more snacks."
The banquet was quickly served, and a few people chatted and laughed, listening to Xingniang playing music. Xingniang hired two new dancers, and they danced along with the music, which added to the scenery.
Tao Ping raised his glass and said to Yang Anxuan: "An Xuan, I'm afraid it will be difficult to pay off the money that Yu owes me this year. I hope that my dear brother will give me a few days of grace so that I can raise money to pay it back as soon as possible when Yu returns home for the New Year."
Yang Anxuan smiled and said: "Brother Tao, don't worry about it. Just pay it back slowly. Come on, have a drink."
Gratitude flashed in Tao Ping's eyes. He paid off more than seventy taels of his fifty-tael gambling debt. Yang Anxuan never pressed him, nor did he calculate his interest. This was completely different from Diao Yun who paid him monthly debts.
After finishing the glass of wine, Tao Ping thought to himself that Yang An's Xuantong Second Classic was accepted as a disciple by Dr. Che. Even if the royal family deliberately suppressed him, it would be difficult to stop his rising trend. Such a person can be friends before he becomes successful.
It's your own opportunity.
Everyone has their own thoughts, but it's a drink and a happy ending.
…………
The 22nd is an auspicious day in the zodiac, so it is appropriate to worship a teacher.
Yang Anxuan mentioned Shu Xiu's official visit to become his disciple. Che Yin attached great importance to this recruitment of disciples, and invited many friends and celebrities to come to watch the ceremony, and he encouraged and warned Yang Anxuan.
After Yang Anxuan bowed respectfully, Che Yin gave him the prepared pen and ink, and the ceremony was completed. Yang Anxuan officially became Che Yin's disciple.
On the 24th, Yang Anxuan took Zhang Feng across the river to Tangyi.
Tangyi County was originally located in Linhuai County of Xuzhou. In the fourth year of Kangxi (338), the Jianghuai River was in chaos and people migrated south. The imperial court established Tangyi County in the north of Jiankang and placed it under the jurisdiction of Yangzhou.
Tangyi is across the river from the capital, and is an important transportation route between the north and the south. Hu merchants from the north often cross the river through Tangyi to get to the capital.
Tangyi City is high and deep, strategically located, and its scale and prosperity are beyond the reach of Jiyang. As the Chinese New Year approaches, shops on both sides of the street spread their goods on the street, shouting hard to attract passers-by.
There were too many vehicles and pedestrians on the street, and the street with six carriages running parallel was still congested. Yang Anxuan was afraid that the horse would be frightened and hurt someone, so he led the horse towards the prefect's mansion in the crowd.
A group of people crowded in front of them, shouting, cursing, crying, and begging. Yang Anxuan frowned, probably because of bullying of men and women.
Such things were seen at the feet of the emperor and were often seen in Jiankang City. Yang Anxuan sighed to himself that his family was weak and could not manage a few injustices. Only by holding the power of the world could he wipe out the injustices.
"... I borrowed two thousand dollars and stated that if I can't repay it before December 20th, I will use my daughter to pay off the debt. Huang Heizi, it's written in black and white. I haven't wronged you."
"Master Diao, you are so noble. If you grant me a few more days of grace, I will definitely pay it back after the new year."
"Hey, Huang Heizi, you were right three days ago when you said you would borrow money to pay off your debts. Now it's the end of the year. If you default on your debts like this, the Diao family will open a shantang."
Yang Anxuan approached. He was taller and could directly see what was going on in the crowd.
A man in black clothes who looked like a steward was waving a note in his hand, and he was gesticulating at a man in brown clothes with his teeth bared. The man in brown clothes was hunched over and pleading in a low voice.
Sitting huddled in the corner was a woman in ragged clothes, holding two babies in her arms. The two babies buried their heads in the woman's arms and howled loudly.
Being moved by the scene, Zhang Feng remembered the situation in his family a few years ago, squeezed into the crowd and shouted: "The servant paid back the two thousand dollars for him."
Manager Diao looked Zhang Feng up and down, and saw that Zhang Feng was wearing a green cloth shirt, like a long suit, and sneered: "Who is not wearing pants and you are exposed? What does it matter to you? Get out of here, Master Diao, so as not to get beaten."
."
Zhang Feng followed Yang Anxuan, and his horizons broadened a lot. After he came to Jiankang, he followed Yang Huai to practice martial arts. Yang Anxuan even asked him to read in his hometown. In half a year, he learned hundreds of words and could write with a pen. He was no longer a boy begging in the countryside.
Lang.
"If you owe someone a debt, why not repay it for him?" Zhang Feng said with a raised face without showing any signs of weakness.
Following Yang Anxuan, he received a reward of five taels of gold for playing the Douqu in Shenghuaju. On weekdays, Yang Anxuan gave him 300 gold on the left and 200 on the right as pocket money. Zhang Feng had accumulated more than 60,000 gold.
Yang Anxuan did not speak, but listened to the discussions of the people around him, and understood what happened in a moment.
Huang Heizi borrowed 2,000 yuan from the Diao family to bet on Yan Guosheng's victory, and agreed to repay the 2,100 yuan with interest on December 20. If he could not repay the debt, he would use his two daughters to pay off the debt.
Looking at Huang Heizi's sad face, Yang Anxuan's heart flashed that hateful people have pitiable qualities. They don't have enough food and clothing but want to borrow money and gamble. Is such a person worthy of sympathy?
Diao Guanshi, surnamed Diao, Yang Anxuan sneered when he thought of Diao Yun's many mischiefs, the Diao family was still haunted.
The Diao family has always ignored their reputation and used any means to make money. Naturally, they would not miss this method of raising money with high interest rates. Tangyi is not far from Jingkou. I guess this guy is from the Diao family. Looking at the shivering mother and daughter holding a ball
The three of them, Yang Anxuan asked himself, Huang Heizi is unforgivable, and the loan sharks are even more abominable, so what is it about secretly pushing these themselves?
When Huang Heizi heard Zhang Feng say that he was willing to pay off his debt, he stepped forward and said, "Young Master, your words are true. I have thanked you for your great kindness."
As he spoke, he lay down on the ground and sipped his head, then turned to call his wife and daughter behind him, "Why don't you thank the young master quickly and kowtow to him?"
The woman and her two daughters knelt down and kowtowed to Zhang Feng. Yang Anxuan saw that the older of the two children was about ten years old and the younger was only seven or eight years old. Their eyes were filled with fear and their whole body was shaking.
The two children were still young, but their features were beautiful. No wonder the unruly steward wanted Huang Heizi to use his daughter to pay off the debt.
"Hey, these two little ladies are quite smart. I've made two thousand dollars."
"This kid knows how to show mercy at such a young age. He has a bright future, hahahaha."
The dirty words were unbearable, and Yang Anxuan frowned.
With a fierce look in his eyes, Manager Diao bullied young Zhang Feng, stretched out his hand to push him, and cursed in his mouth: "Little bastard, if you want to get into trouble, get out of here."
Zhang Feng was taught carefully by Yang Huai. Yang Huai was a member of the Yang family. There was someone in the family who specialized in teaching skills. He had also been in the army for many years and had dedicated his skills in fighting on the battlefield to eliminate the bad and keep the good. So how could Zhang Feng use this unorganized person?
A slap on the heart.
He reached out and grabbed Diao Guanshi's wrist, turned his wrist and twisted it. Diao Guanshi screamed in pain, Zhang Feng pushed back and let go of his hand.
Manager Diao staggered back, and two servants hurriedly supported him.
Rubbing his wrists, Diao Guanshi had a look of fear in his eyes. Although the boy in front of him was young and had extraordinary skills, the master behind him must be extraordinary. He couldn't decide whether to let the two servants come forward to take the person.
A famous servant shouted: "My servants are from the Bohai Rao'an Diao family. Boy, please don't cause trouble for your family."
Zhang Feng was a little timid and looked back at Yang Anxuan.
As expected, it was a Diao family from Bohai. Yang Anxuan smiled and said to Zhang Feng: "Zhang Feng, what are you talking about? Just give me the money to pay off the debt."
Diao Ping saw Yang Anxuan standing with his hands behind his back, wearing a brocade robe and looking majestic, and knew that he could not afford to offend him.
It's just that Huang Heizi's two daughters are favored by his master Diao Feng. How can he do business if he takes the money and goes back?
After thinking about it for a long time, Diao Ping gritted his teeth and said in a solemn voice: "Master, please tell me your name so that I can go back and explain to the master."
