Chapter 9

Ai Yuchu, Ai Chaodong, Ai Zhao, Li Zhensheng, Feng Qilong and several other scholars were sitting in the shop discussing Taoism.

The surname Mizhiai is divided into two groups, Daai and Xiaoai, with different ancestors.

Ai Yuchu, a direct descendant of the Xiao Ai family, the great-grandson of Ai Xichun, the first Jinshi in the history of Mizhi, the nephew of Ai Yingjia, and the uncle and brother of Ai Wannian.1

He was the one who was licked by Li Daliang.

The shop where Liu Zongmin borrowed money also belonged to his family.

Ai Chaodong, his two aunts' father's son-in-law's aunt's Gawa is Yuan Zongdi's fucking cousin.

Ai Zhao, collateral miscellaneous fish.1

Feng Qilong, the son-in-law of Gao Yingyuan’s cousin.2

Li Zhensheng can be regarded as the same clan as Li Zicheng except for the five clothes. They both came from the Li family in Longxi and were the descendants of the Han Dynasty flying general Li Guang. 3

Why did you bring your ancestors to Li Guang?

Li Hao, the 16th grandson of Li Guang, founded Xiliang, and then his grandson returned to the Northern Wei Dynasty. Then the Li family in Longxi became a prominent family with Cui Qinghe and King Taiyuan. It seems that the emperor of the Tang Dynasty also came from this branch. 4

In addition, there was another group. Li Ling, the eldest grandson of Li Guang, surrendered to the Huns. Although the flying generals were humiliated in the Han Dynasty, he himself lived quite comfortably in the Huns. Not only was he crowned king, but his descendants in the Northern Kingdom multiplied and prospered.

A famous general of the Northern Zhou Dynasty, he was named Grand Master by Emperor Wen of the Sui Dynasty Yang Jian. Li Mu, one of the three nobles, had ancestors who moved south with the Northern Wei Dynasty, and Li Ling was listed further up.

Then, "Book of Southern Qi. Biography of Wei Lu" ---Wei Lu, a Xiongnu species, with the surname Tuoba (Tuoba). In the early days, the Xiongnu female name was Tuoba, and his wife was Li Ling. Hu customs took their mother's surname as their surname, so they After Li Ling.

Tuoba - Dangxiang - Li Yuanhao, grandson of Li Jiqian who founded Xixia...

Just take a look at this statement and don’t take it seriously, after all—

"There are two most untrustworthy books in the world: the aspirations of counties and counties; and the genealogy of clans."

"After the Song and Yuan Dynasties, private genealogies were not published in the dynasty. So they separated themselves from each other, refuted it one after another (wrote in random), created official ranks privately, reversed the era, and the nobles were far away, just to help the wise."

In the Ming Dynasty, compilation of family trees was popular, and people often paid poor scholars to give them a prominent life experience. Sometimes it was inevitable that they would make a joke.

A young man went to Dr. Hanlin's house to show off, claiming to be the tenth generation grandson of Song Dynasty poet Lin Hejing. The man opened the "Biography of Lin Hejing" and asked him to read it -... (Lin) never married or became an official in his life, but liked to plant plum trees and raise cranes. It is said that "the plum wife is the wife and the crane is the son", and people call it "the plum wife and the crane son"...



In fact, there are only 20,000 to 30,000 people in Mizhi County, and after hundreds of years of reproduction, almost all of them are related to each other.

As the saying goes, if you don't have a smile on your face, you can't open a store. You can smooth things over and get out of office.

Before the waiter could say anything, the owner Feng Qilong rushed to greet him: "Rare visitor! I heard that Brother Li just made a fortune, so he came to take care of the business so quickly."

Ai Yuchu snorted coldly, "Borrowing money in the front and getting rich in the back is unspeakable."

Ai Zhao echoed: "It's just a guy with muddy legs. Big brother, you don't have to pay attention to him. It's bad luck!"

After saying that, he covered his face with his sleeves and turned around.

Li Zicheng sneered, "Your father is going to die!"

Everyone was stunned.

Ai Zhao turned around and said in surprise: "What did you just say?"

Li Zicheng said word by word: "I said, you, dad, are going to die. Do you hear me clearly?"

Ai Zhao was furious, stood up suddenly, raised his finger and pointed at Li Zicheng, "You, you, you..."

Literary people are clumsy, and you haven't come up with a fart even after a long time.

Feng Qilong coughed dryly and waved his hand, "Don't be so presumptuous! Please come back. I'm sorry to entertain you!"

Li Zicheng made a formula on his hand and muttered something, and then said: "I recently learned a new spell. I knew it five hundred years ago and five hundred years later. It has been tried and tested repeatedly. Do you want to give it a try?"

Ai Zhao still trembled with his hands, "You..."

Li Zicheng interrupted: "What are you doing? Your father is going to die on the first day of March. If you don't go home as soon as possible to fulfill your filial piety, you are still here reciting poems and making excuses. You are really a scumbag!"

Ai Zhao stamped his feet, gritted his teeth and said, "You..."

Li Zicheng waved his hand, "Get out of here! Don't worry about fame. You will only be a scholar in this life. If you are willing to spend money to curry favor, you can barely make a living."

Linsheng is also a scholar, because the government will distribute food on a monthly basis and the quota is limited, so competition is fierce.

There are quite a few shabby scholars who don't have enough to eat, so they are called "poor and poor", that is, "stinky losers". Of course, this is relative.

What a talented scholar.

For example, a waiter mentioned earlier: "When I was young, I lived in the countryside. I saw fathers, old, and ordinary people gathering at a banquet and drinking, laughing and chatting with each other. When I saw a scholar arrive, I would calm down and sigh. Only the appearance of a scholar is to be seen, but the words of a scholar are to be heard...

The scholar was swinging in the market, and everyone in the two lanes looked at him and said, "This is the chief of a certain restaurant. A man of great importance in human relations is like this. How can you be afraid of its power? For those who read and know etiquette, our village is vulgar and vulgar.

Smiling ears.”

Li Zicheng gave Ai Zhao the final word, and everyone was shocked.

As soon as they talked about fame and fame, they immediately forgot about Li Zicheng's rude remarks just now.

Hao Shou has been struggling all his life just for that last trembling moment?

In these days, the "Book of Changes" is one of the Four Books and Five Classics, so its techniques are flourishing and almost everyone believes in it.

For example, together with Tan Qian, Wan Sitong, and Zha Jizuo, Zhang Dai is known as the "four great historians in eastern Zhejiang" and the "master of sketches".

He liked cockfighting. In the year of Tianqi, he once set up a cockfighting club at the foot of Longshan Mountain, imitating Wang Bo's "Cockfighting Call" and calling the same club.

One day Zhang Dai read in a book that Emperor Xuanzong of the Tang Dynasty was born in the month of the month of the year of You. He was fond of cockfighting and his country perished. He was shocked. Because he happened to be born in the month of the month of the year of the united kingdom, he stopped fighting cocks from then on.

Zhang Dai is free and easy by nature, why does he care so much?

Traditional numerology believes that the horoscopes born in the You year and the You month are "You You self-punishment". The fortune book says that this kind of people will have great ruin in their lives and are prone to military disasters, robbers, stab wounds, etc.

The character "You" in the year and month in the zodiac is already considered a self-punishment, and "You" also represents the chicken in traditional numerology, so fighting cocks is "adding punishment to punishment".

Emperor Xuanzong of the Tang Dynasty had already fulfilled his promise, so Zhang Dai certainly did not dare to make a mistake.

It can be seen that scholars are superstitious.1

Therefore, Li Zicheng's serious appearance calmed the scholars present.

When several people looked at each other, Ai Yuchu suddenly slapped the table and reprimanded: "You are pretending to be a ghost and making a mystery! You are full of nonsense."

Li Zicheng smiled faintly, and said with his fingers: "You have caught up with the good times. In recent years, Mizhi's literary style has flourished, and the Three Masters have joined forces. You are the one named in the Yanta Pagoda."

"What?"

Ai Yu stood up loudly and said tremblingly: "What is the Three Heroes' Lianzhu? What is the name of the Wild Goose Pagoda? You, you, you..."

Another one stuttered.

Li Zhensheng said disdainfully: "Xiao Xiao is deceiving people, just to do what I want. Brother, please don't be deceived by villains."

Li Zicheng laughed twice, "Brothers of the Li family, I am a half-immortal who can tell the truth, and you are one of the three outstanding heroes!"

"Ah? I..." Li Zhensheng was instantly confused.

The power of fame is so terrifying!

Street swindlers have secrets: before you start, you must first understand what is coming, and before you speak, you must be aware of your intentions. First, cheat (deceive), and then flatter (flattery). This is the secret of a military strategist;

Li Zicheng learned about it five hundred years later, and of course there was no need to resort to cheating.

Especially for a group of literati, as long as they grasp the importance of fame, they will be successful.

But Ai Zhao said angrily: "You need a beating for your clay legs! You are deceiving the public with your evil words. If I don't sue you, I will have you in the yamen for three days."

Feng Qilong asked, "Brother Li, do you know what Yanta inscription is?"

"The naming of the Wild Goose Pagoda began in the Tang Dynasty..." Li Zicheng said happily.

During the Shenlong period of Emperor Zhongzong of the Tang Dynasty, a new scholar visited Ci'en Temple in Xi'an. On a whim, he inscribed his name under the Big Wild Goose Pagoda.

Unexpectedly, this move attracted many literati to follow suit, especially new scholars who regarded the title of Yan Pagoda as a great honor.

After having a banquet in Qujiang, they collectively came to the foot of the Big Wild Goose Pagoda and recommended calligraphers to inscribe their names, birthplaces and dates on the wall with ink.

If any of these people became ministers in the future, their names would have to be written in red pen.

Among the countless people who named Yan Pagoda, the most famous is Bai Juyi.

At the age of twenty-seven, he won the first prize in one fell swoop. Unable to restrain his joy, he wrote "Under the Ci'en Pagoda, the youngest among the seventeen people."

Another new scholar, "Purple Hair Pink Wall Inscribed Immortal Book".

This guy is so crazy that he thinks that if he wins Jinshi, he will be among the immortals.

There is also an old man who was overjoyed after passing the exam. He wrote a poem and said: In the past, the sordidness is not worthy of praise, but now the dissolute thoughts are boundless. The spring breeze is so proud that the horse's hoof is so bad that I can see all the flowers in Chang'an in one day.

Although the poetry of new scholars continued to flourish, the walls of Ci'en Temple were limited after all, and soon the white wall turned into a "flower wall".

So it later developed into engraving monuments as a memorial, which continues to this day. Even those who passed the exam have to engrave their names on the Big Wild Goose Pagoda.

After hearing this, Ai Zhao was still dissatisfied, "Those who seek fame and fame don't know where they can learn the language."

Ai Yuchu and Li Zhensheng were still in the dream of "Three Heroes", and their eyes looking at the "half-immortal" became much gentler.

Li Zicheng's anus tightened for a while. He knew that many scholar-officials nowadays were good at this.

Feng Qilong cupped his hands and said, "Brother Li is very knowledgeable and talented, but I underestimated him. I don't know..."

He motioned to Ai Chaodong next to him, "This..."

Li Zicheng rubbed his fingers and smiled without saying a word.

Ai Chaodong was embarrassed.

If this was a one-on-one situation between the two of them, he would immediately take out a silver ingot and slap it on the table, but now...

Ai Yuchu flicked his sleeves and said, "Li Matou, you don't have to pay back the fifty taels of silver that your brother Blacksmith Liu borrowed. You can tell us more."

How generous he is!

Ai Chaodong's eyes were red and his ears were hot, and he stopped talking.

"Alas!" Li Zicheng sighed, "He... alas!"

"I...I..." Ai Chaodong felt as if he was in an ice cave for an instant, shivering all over.

Li Zicheng smiled and said, "You will start as a county magistrate in the future..."

"I...Hiccup..."

Ai Chaodong didn't know whether he was excited or disappointed, he couldn't breathe and fainted on the spot.

Everyone hurriedly rescued him.

Ai Chaodong took a long breath, stared into dead eyes, and kept chanting, "I am the magistrate, I am the magistrate..."

Feng Qilong said with a flattering smile: "Brother Li, it's not easy to tease people. Look, look...Brother Li, could you please take a look at my future?"

"you……"

Li Zicheng held his fingers and took a few steps.

Feng Qilong's heart was in his throat.

"You, your future has some twists and turns..."

"Ah..." Feng Qilong covered his chest, staggered back a few steps, and fell down on the chair.

It was probably angina pectoris.

"Those who are good at changing cannot predict! Those who are demagogues are full of shit! I will go to the county government immediately..." Ai Zhao was about to have another attack.

"Snapped!"

Ai Yuchu raised his hand and said, "Shut your mouth!"

He had just won the good fortune of "Three Heroes Lianzhu" and "Inscription on the Wild Goose Pagoda". How dare the birdman say it was "spraying feces"?

Ai Zhao covered his face, his eyes were red and he dared not speak.

So far, he has the least future. According to the "half-immortal" theory, he will not even be able to pass the examination in this life.

Although Li Zhensheng didn't want to believe Li Zicheng's nonsense, he was a man carrying people in a sedan chair, and everyone liked to hear good things.

He worked up his emotions for a while and said gently: "Zicheng, what do you mean by the Three Masters Lianzhu?"

Ai Yuchu diligently moved a chair over and said, "Brother Li, sit down."

Li Zicheng was not polite, he lifted up his back... He was not embarrassed even though his cotton-padded jacket had no back, so he sat down.

"that……"

Li Zicheng turned around and looked behind him, "Why are you two standing there stupidly, showing me some tea?"

Before Zhang Nai and Li Laiheng could react, Feng Qilong stood up and brought the teacup in a flash.

"Good brother, please have tea."

Li Zicheng nodded, "A boy can be taught! You have a noble person in your life!"
