The Yangjiao girl was very understanding and didn't care about the two guests taking the lead. Seeing that they were posing as if they were talking at night, she lit two thick red candles in the hall, and went to the boudoir to read books by herself. If there was a gap, she was willing to turn on the lamp, so she squatted at the door secretly, using the faint light to study hard. There are so many sacrificial wines and gentlemen in Shangyin Academy, and very few of them really deserve everyone's two-word comment. Wang Jijiu won the debate of name and reality, lost the dispute between heaven and man, and lost to the great sacrificial wine of today's academy. He is still firmly among the top three in the school, and if it is said that he is talented in debate, no one can surpass him. At this time, Wang Jijiu bent down and stretched out his hands, warming up on the stove, his vicissitudes of face shone brightly, and occasionally twisted a peanut from the bowl and threw it into his mouth. Xu Fengnian sat on a small bench, holding the little girl's most beloved pair of pretty brocade boots, mastering the heat, and slowly roasting at a certain height from the charcoal in the furnace. In this way, no matter how prominent their identities are, the two of them have a lively rustic atmosphere, unlike clay bodhisattvas enshrined by others, neither of them is in a hurry to speak, even if the current situation is imminent, it can be called urgent But after all, the world is not as good as talking with hands, and you can't regret it. This time, Wang Lao Jijiu is serious about the matter, and he is not in a relaxed mood. Scholars talk about wars on paper, and they often have superior eyes but inferior abilities. Relying on people to do it, the pieces on the chessboard take root and cannot be changed, but the living people are not so simple, who is really willing to be a puppet or a pawn crossing the river, this is also the root of Wang Jijiu's never-so-sloppy chess game The reason is that the chess pieces on the chessboard are all dead things, otherwise it would be enough to choose a good man who governs the country and just pick out a few well-known big players from the chess board
When the little girl who was hiding behind the door to borrow light to read was turning a page, she glanced at the white-headed man outside the door. She definitely wouldn't hate him if she hated him, but she wouldn't like it if she was just in love, since she was still young. Secondly, the relationship between men and women is not about how good the other person is, they will definitely like it, the love does not know where it starts, and the love does not know where it will end. She will find a scholar like her father, warm and handsome in the lobby outside the house, it's good, but unfortunately it's not her style. The little girl had no intention of eavesdropping, she withdrew her shallow thoughts, subconsciously stretched out her finger to dip in her saliva, gently flipped through the book, put it in her mouth, and then smashed it, her mouth was full of ink, and she was self-conscious. With a smile, her parents always said that her habit is not good, that it is not easy to collect books, and that destroying books is abominable, but how can the little girl film control these things, and she will not change after repeated admonitions. As time goes by, her father will pretend to be out of sight and out of mind.
In the hall, Wang Jijiu finally spoke slowly, "If you don't think about victory, you should think about defeat first. Let's go bad first. There are 600 people. The bachelor's degree is about 28 points. Among them, the bachelor's degree in Jixia has been used by me for less than half of the past two years." All kinds of excuses were given to places such as Jiushu, Jizhou, and Xiangfan to travel and give lectures. Half of Mr. Jishang opened private schools within 800 miles of Beiliang, or attached himself to local dignitaries. It was relatively easy for these people to enter Beiliang. It does not rule out the possibility of the imperial court secretly watching, and whenever there is a turmoil, they will kill the grass and root out the grass. Even if these people are like this, let alone those who tease the study abroad palace, they are all fish under the knife. The large-scale migration, not to mention the difficulties of the Daozhou prefectures and counties along the way, I am afraid that even Zhu Gou will be dispatched. This group of gentlemen and scholars who are not much better than delicate women can't stand a few times trampled by iron hooves. It's hard to say , A slightly elite Liyang soldier can pick out a bunch of candied haws with a single spear. His Highness said that less than half of them reached Beiliang, which is not alarmist."
Xu Fengnian smiled and said: "The soldiers came to cover the water and the earth. Liyang iron cavalry and Zhu Gou who is good at assassination are used to eating meat, but our spies in Beiliang are vegetarians? When we ate meat in big bowls, Why don't they just sit around and wait for the soup? My master once left a special kit for this matter, and now he has started to develop countermeasures. The location is favorable in Liyang, but the two things are the right time and the people. Beiliang, but compared to the predicament of the past few years, it is still better. First, Beiliang sent out to raid several towns on the border of Beimang, and the second sister led troops all the way to the capital of the Southern Dynasty, which made Beimang tired Deal with it, Luoyang, the demon leader, spent a year going south last year, trapping and killing countless cavalry elite soldiers. Beiliang has raised a large number of Jianghu hawks and dogs, which were used to guard against the southward infiltration of the Jianghu forces in Beimang, for fear of these desperadoes Instead of killing the heavily guarded power ministers and meritorious officials, and specifically picking the soft persimmons that are only hovering at the threshold of low-grade goods, they can be transferred to Liyang territory at this moment. If Beimang dares to take advantage of the fire and try to form a tacit understanding with the Zhao family, Then let Xu Xiao fight again. It just so happens that Chu Lushan, the new protector of Beiliang, and Yuan Zuozong, the commander of the cavalry army, are both worried about how to burn the three fires when the new officials take office. Luan would be happy to see it happen. Besides, Zhu Gou from Liyang, when Cao Changqing greeted the princess, he also brutally killed the top spies in Zhu Gou, and now he has not recovered. Fighting is not enough, but this kind of covert action, which ranges from one to five to one target, is still good at it. When confronted with Zhu Gou, he can hardly lose the wind. Another point is that I spent too much energy and energy protecting me, an unscrupulous dude. The group of elite dead soldiers can also be dispatched to support the military spies that have long been established in Beiliang. Don’t forget, the reason why Beiliang’s iron cavalry is the best in the world is that Jia is scouting. If you don’t hesitate to use more than a thousand soldiers and soldiers, don’t blame them for kicking the iron plate when the time comes.”
The old gentleman said with emotion: "When the time comes, this chessboard will be full of canine teeth."
The old man withdrew his hands that were scalded by the fire, and rubbed his thin cheeks, "Maybe there will be blood everywhere by then."
Xu Fengnian said plainly: "You can't want a horse-drawn cart but not feed the horses. There is no such good thing in the world. My Xu family does not seek rebellion, does not usurp the throne and become emperor, and I will guard the northwest gate of your Zhao family. Ordinary people The family has a dog that guards the house and knows how to give some food. The Zhao family is lucky, thinking all day about this dog whose only shortcoming is that it can’t beg for mercy, hurry up and starve to the bone, and then find a good time to stew a pot of dog meat to eat What a joy. The dog knows how to jump over the wall when he is in a hurry, not to mention the Beiliang cavalry who rolled out of the blood."
Xu Fengnian smiled suddenly, put down the little girl's old boots that he had already baked, and picked up the charcoal fire with iron tongs, "But if I were the emperor or the prince of the Zhao family, I would be worried about the Xu family and lie on the couch. How can you allow others to snore and sleep, but understanding is understanding, and it is absolutely impossible for me to accept it."
The old gentleman smiled knowingly, no longer called Xu Fengnian His Highness, and became a little more intimate, "You boy, your words are quite reasonable, but your actions are unreasonable."
Xu Fengnian smiled wryly and said: "It's not easy to be in charge of the family. There are sweets for children who can yell, and if you don't play around a few times, no one will take you seriously."
Wang Jijiu laughed, "Then let's talk about it better?"
Xu Fengnian followed along, his eyebrows widened a little, and he said with a smile: "It's comfortable to talk about it."
Unexpectedly, the old gentleman shook his head and said: "I have to pour cold water on you first. Let's calculate that more than half of the six hundred people will survive to Beiliang. Have you ever thought about what to do when the temple is full of small Bodhisattvas and there are too many monks? I'm staring at how Beiliang arranges these people. Beiliang is narrow and barren. Although there are many official hats, they can't be given away casually. If you give too much, official hats are worthless. After you are comfortable, no one is willing to continue to give you Serve your life and work hard. What's more, the local leaders and snakes in Beiliang are intertwined, and most of them are general families who emerged from the Spring and Autumn War. Getting bigger and bigger, being left out is jealous. The most difficult thing about this is that not only some bloody military affairs are annoying, but also trivial housework that disgusts people. I know that after you squeezed out Chen Zhibao, you are in Beiliang Began to deliberately reverse the impression of a dandy, especially the group of veterans who have changed a lot about you, which is not easy. You are not afraid that this time, a self-contained academy will enter Beiliang and take over from the clique, which will make you fall short? Call you a The embroidered pillow of the prodigal?"
Xu Fengnian smiled and said: "The happiest thing about being married to a woman is that apart from meeting her husband, there are two other things that are extremely important. The father-in-law is dedicated to justice, and the mother-in-law is devoted to justice. Beiliang is thirsty for talents, but there are always thousands of horses, but not often Yes, without the hundreds of people from Shangyin Academy, the Xu family would not have gained a firm foothold in Beiliang. It wouldn’t be the same if they beat Beimang so hard that Beimang couldn’t hold its head up. It's easy to do, I don't mind being a villain at all, you have friendship with Xu Xiao, relying on this kind of incense to win over the fish and meat people in Beiliang, but I haven't reached that level of friendship with Xu Fengnian, Xu Fengnian has left these years To this day, I don’t rely on them. I don’t take sides with anyone. I just talk politely and reason with both local snakes and river dragons. Outside of Beiliang, my reasoning may not make sense, but in Beiliang, how dare you not Reason with me, I can really let you go around. If you are a local snake, then you can rely on your military exploits to be a wealthy farmer, or control the military affairs of various states and counties. It doesn’t matter, you deserve these. But the food is too bad, the walls of Xu’s house are broken, a dog hole is dug with a hoe here and a hammer there, so that there is a strong door and wall with air leakage on all sides, don’t blame me for filling the hole with your corpses. If it’s a dragon crossing the river, as long as Don't pretend to be lofty, and do things in a down-to-earth manner. You have official hats, gold and silver, and no shortage of women. The narrowness of Beiliang also has the advantage of being narrow, that is, everything is under the nose of the Xu family, and you can see everything you do See. What the Xu family has done is nothing more than fairness. As for the earnestness, I'm afraid I have to work hard for you, old man.
Wang Jijiu nodded and said: "It's a combination of justice and mother-in-law's heart. As long as these poor newlyweds who have lost their natal families, as long as they are diligent and thrifty, they are not afraid that they will not have a bright future. There will definitely be bumps and bumps, but at least they will not be so miserable. If you want to be hanged and thrown into the well, that's enough. You're not a delicate lady, as long as you have a good husband's family who cares for you, you will be able to endure hardship."
Xu Fengnian joked with a smile: "It's the first time I saw the old gentleman playing against Xu Xiao at the top of Qingliang Mountain. His speech is elegant, probably because he gets along with a common man like me, and his speech is also vulgar."
The old man shook his head and laughed at himself: "This is called watching people order dishes and prescribing the right medicine. If you get along with the king of Beiliang who is Liyangtou No. , then don’t embarrass me, an old man. Besides, the reason why the vertical and horizontal technique is also called the skill of length and breadth is nothing more than using one’s own strengths to confront the enemy’s weaknesses. Speaking of this, if I dare to take the test, I will take the test of His Royal Highness , what are the strengths and weaknesses of Beiliang and Liyang?"
Xu Fengnian said helplessly: "This old gentleman has to ask Xu Beizhi or Chen Xiliang, I'm not willing to expose his faults, does this count as catching the fur of long and short?"
Wang Jijiu hummed lightly.
Xu Fengnian asked in a low voice: "This little girl's surname is Ouyang, and her grandfather's surname is Ouyang, from Takioka, has the old man heard of it?"
Wang Jijiu said flatly: "The little girl's father is half of my student. He is not optimistic about Beiliang, and he will not follow him to Beiliang."
Xu Fengnian nodded, that's okay, Shangyin Academy suffered such ups and downs, in order to stabilize people's hearts, the academy and the imperial court, with the knowledge of her father, will definitely be much more generous in the worst days in the future.
Xu Fengnian stood up, "Then leave?"
Wang Jijiu stood up and said with a smile, "Don't you want to say goodbye?"
Xu Fengnian smiled and said, "That girl hates vulgarity."
The two walked out of the room lightly, and after Xu Fengnian closed the door, he hung the jade pendant that he took along on the grape trellis.
On the second day, the wind and snow stopped, and a huge snowman several people tall stood up beside the Buddha's Palm Lake in Shangyin Academy.
The Yangjiao girl ran all the way to Yuyouwei's courtyard, screaming and jumping happily: "Sister Yu, there is a big snowman by the lake, he looks like you!"
