Chapter 360 Fang Xiucai
Whenever Fang Xiucai mentioned, County Magistrate Chen and Captain Niu had a lot of words.
"That scholar Fang said that he was still the enlightenment teacher of the lower officials." County Magistrate Chen said with a few memories, "Mr. Fang is already eighty-two this year and has taught books in the county for a lifetime. Almost no one in the county has never been taught by him."
"It sounds like a respected old man, so where is he weird?" Lin Ji asked.
This time I will answer the question if it was a bull captain.
I saw that the expression on Captain Niu’s face was quite strange, and he wanted to speak but stopped.
"Just say anything!"
"Yes, yes." Captain Niu nodded quickly, not daring to delay. "Mr. Fang was not in good health a few years ago. Originally, people in the county thought he was going, but who would have thought that now he is getting more and more energetic."
"That's it?" Lin Ji frowned.
Hunting Niu smiled bitterly and said, "Sir, have you seen an old man over the age of 80 still marry a wife?"
This time Lin Ji really lives in Bengbu.
What old people are stronger?
Lin Ji and Huang Cui looked at each other and saw the absurdity in each other's eyes.
"Get married at the age of eighty? Is he okay?"
County Magistrate Chen added: "It's not just about marrying a wife. In the past few years, Mr. Fang almost couldn't walk, and he had to support him wherever he went. In recent years, not only did he become stronger and stronger, but his white hair on his head began to turn black..."
After hearing this, Lin Ji finally understood why County Magistrate Chen and Captain Niu said that this was strange...
Hair dyeing is not something that can be done here.
If you just say that you get married at the age of 80, it is not impossible to understand.
After all, no matter how old a man is, he likes young people. It is understandable that Lin Ji condemns and yearns for it.
It is not impossible to grow old and grow with the dead trees in spring.
But the white hair turns black, but it is far from that simple.
Thinking about Lin Ji's method of being infected with the evil Buddha, most of his vitality in his body was burned out and his hair turned gray.
To this day, it has been a long time since then, and he has even broken through several realms one after another, but the gray and white hair on his head has not changed at all.
The vitality burns out, it is irreversible.
You can use heavenly treasures or longevity pills to supplement it, or you can break through your cultivation to extend your life.
But what is missing is missing and difficult to supplement.
That's why there is a saying that a childish face is said to be a child.
And an old man who has been teaching in the county for a lifetime suddenly rejuvenated?
There must be something strange about this.
Thinking of this, Lin Ji probably couldn't find out anything from the magistrate of Chen County and Captain Niu, so he simply took Huang Cui to stand up.
"Where does Xiucai Fang live?" Lin Ji asked as he walked.
"If you want to know, Mr. Fang lives in the west end of the county, and there is a big osmanthus tree at his doorstep."
Lin Ji nodded and took Huang Cui all the way out.
But just as they walked to the county government gate and were about to leave, Captain Niu and County Magistrate Chen stopped them again.
"What, what else do you have to say?" Lin Ji asked with a frown.
"Sir... Will this matter be... Will it be..." County Magistrate Chen was frightened and could not say a word for a long time.
But Lin Ji understood.
"roll!"
With a shout, the county magistrate Chen and Captain Niu were so scared that they quickly made way, while Lin Ji quickly left the county government with an unhappy expression.
Until he walked away, Huang Cui asked: "What did County Magistrate Chen want to ask just now? Why did you get angry all of a sudden?"
"He wanted to ask if this matter would affect them." Lin Ji sneered, "Look at his servant who seemed to be flattering, what he thought had long been written on his face."
Hearing this, Huang Cui whispered: "I can't see these curves."
"It's a good thing that can't be seen." Lin Ji responded casually.
As for whether it will affect County Magistrate Chen and Niu's head catcher.
Lin Ji only thinks they are naive and ridiculous.
Every year, dozens of people die in destruction, but they dare to deceive their superiors and subordinates and pretend to be unaware of it.
After this scheming, Qi Zheng, the general inspector of Jingzhou, could not even take over this slap, let alone the two of them.
......
September is the time when osmanthus flowers bloom.
When we arrived at the west end of Sishui County, Lin Ji and Huang Cui saw the osmanthus tree covered with bright yellow.
Hundreds of meters apart, the faint fragrance of osmanthus was already floating beside the two of them.
"What a beautiful tree." Huang Cui sighed.
"It's been at least hundreds of years." Lin Ji nodded.
When they arrived at the place, the two of them took a few steps faster and soon arrived at the osmanthus.
Next to it is a private school, which looks just an ordinary small courtyard. There is a word "School" written on the plaque at the door, and the signature is Fang Sicheng.
I think this is the name of Mr. Fengchunfang, the Dead Wood.
When you walked into the courtyard, you could vaguely hear the sound of students studying in a large room next to you. The sound was not loud, and it seemed that they were all suppressing.
Before Lin Ji could go to investigate, a beautiful girl about thirty years old suddenly came out of the wing room on the other side.
The cute girl was wearing a plain skirt and carrying a bucket in her hand was walking towards the well. When she saw Lin Ji and Huang Cui, the two uninvited guests, she was obviously stunned for a moment.
"Huh? Who are you? But are you going to send your children to study?"
As he said that, before Lin Ji and Huang Cui could speak, the beautiful lady smiled and returned to the wing room with an empty bucket.
Not long after, a gentleman who looked fifty or sixty years old walked out of the wing room.
"Sicheng below, what's the point of coming here?"
"Are you Mr. Fang?" Lin Ji clasped his fists and said, "I'm here to investigate the case. I want to ask Mr. for a few questions."
Fang Xiucai was stunned and nodded subconsciously.
"Mr. Fang lives up to his life this year?"
“Eighty two.”
"Eighty two, why are you so young?" Lin Ji raised his eyebrows and asked again.
"Let go of your worries and you will naturally be young."
"What's the matter?"
"Famous, fame, wealth and power."
“How to let go?”
"I failed the imperial examination for more than 60 years, and I was so impatient that I could not let go."
"It is difficult to achieve a long-cherished wish in your life. Let it go if you say let it go?"
"Famousness, fame, wealth and wealth are all over the world. I am not in vain for my life, so I let it go."
Lin Ji chuckled and asked again: "You can be young if you let go? You can be considered rejuvenated like you. How do you explain?"
Fang Xiucai shook his head slightly, but no answer.
Lin Ji looked at him deeply, and could see that there was a little doubt on his face.
Without further investigation, Lin Ji asked again: "Is she still married when she is eighty?"
"Hu'er has been with me since she was a child. I think she is a daughter, but she loves me."
"You are a teacher, and you dare not ignore the ethics of the rules? Others are bound to discuss this matter. Scholars cherish their reputation the most. Don't you care?"
"I've been alive for a few years, what's there to care about?" Fang Xiucai smiled slightly and looked back.
It just so happened that the beautiful girl named Hu Er also walked out and snuggled beside Xiucai.
Lin Ji thought for a moment and nodded.
"I've been disturbed, say goodbye."
After he finished speaking, he took Huang Cui out of the courtyard directly.
"Why don't you continue to ask?" Huang Cui didn't understand yet.
It was not until Lin Ji walked out of the yard that his face finally showed some surprise.
"It's so weird."
