V1.Chapter 178

When Lin Pingzhi waved his hand, there were a lot of miscellaneous gifts piled up. Ye Wenzheng was surprised, only to hear this young master of the Lin family continue: "These are greeting gifts for Brother Ye and everyone, besides... "While pointing outside while talking, Ye Wen followed his finger and found that there were many servants standing outside, waiting outside with big boxes on their shoulders.

And this gesture was also seen by many people, who gathered around and talked non-stop.

"Hey, what's going on?"

"You don't know? The champion of the new department lives here, and he is here to recruit a son-in-law!"

"Oh! That's it, no wonder I see that the inn is coming in and out today. It turns out that Zhuangyuan Lang lives here!" Then he looked at the crowd of people with big boxes and small boxes: "Such a big deal, what is this?" Home?"

"Scholar Lin!"

"Lin Shangshu? Isn't that..."

"Hush! Don't talk too much, just watch the excitement!"

I saw Lin Pingzhi smiled slightly: "These are the meeting gifts for Brother Xu, the number one scholar, and I hope Brother Ye will accept them for you!"

Ye Wen also saw that the Lin family spent a lot of money in order to recruit Xu Xian as a son-in-law. If it was like this, it would be difficult to deal with it, so he tentatively said: "I have no control over my junior brother's affairs, let alone Mr. Lin The reason for coming here this time is..." Then he pushed the many gifts in front of him slightly: "This gift is not easy to accept, Mr. Lin still..."

Not wanting to finish his sentence, Lin Pingzhi interrupted: "These are just greetings, and have nothing to do with Brother Xu! Brother Ye, don't refuse!" Then he pushed the pile of things in front of him back to its original position: "As for Brother Xu's matter, as long as Brother Ye agrees to help talk about it, it doesn't matter if it succeeds or not!"

When Ye Wen heard this, his eyelids twitched, and he thought to himself that this Lin family was really unusual. With so many gifts from both success and failure, this friendship is considered to be closed. Even if Xu Xian refuses to marry his daughter, it's not that he has no affection at all. And Xu Xian, the number one scholar, will be able to get closer to the Lin family in the officialdom in the future, which can be regarded as a kind of officialdom investment.

Just as he was hesitating, Lin Pingzhi said in a low voice: "Your Majesty, I know that my elder sister has a bad reputation in this capital, but my elder sister is also knowledgeable and reasonable. , It’s just that everyone is spreading rumors and saying it’s so evil!”

"Do you like whipping people or are you more tempered?" He murmured in his heart, but he still didn't speak, but opened a small exquisite box in front of him, and saw a pair of turquoise gem pendant earrings appearing in front of him .

As soon as Ye Wen opened the box, Ning Ruxue, who was sitting next to her and hadn't spoken a word, took a look at it. She liked it very much when she saw it, so she couldn't help but look at it for a while. Ye Wen saw it and handed it to her: "If you like it, accept it!"

Then he turned to Lin Pingzhi and said, "I, Ye Wen, am not a person who receives favors in vain, so I took out my long sword and drew it out with a clang.

This long sword was originally a standard weapon of the Shushan School, which is not unusual. Lin Pingzhi was wondering why Ye Wen took out such a long sword, so he couldn't help but exchanged glances with Big Brother Fang beside him.

Just as he was wondering, Ye Wen stood the long sword upright in front of him, raised his left hand upside down, and raised his right index finger upright, using the Qi sword to point at kung fu, purple sword Qi loomed on his fingertips. With just this one move, the face of Big Brother Fang on the opposite side changed drastically, and at the same time, his admiration for the young master of Shushan became more and more in his heart.

The two of them sat opposite each other, they couldn't see what Ye Wen was doing, they could only hear the sound of metal rubbing against each other, it was really unpleasant.

Fortunately, the voice disappeared after a while, and Ye Wen handed the long sword to Lin Pingzhi: "This is a token, if you need help, take this sword to Shushan County, Pingzhou Just come and find me on the Waishu Mountains!"

Lin Pingzhi took a look at it, and saw that the words Shushan School Ye Wen were written on the originally bright and smooth spine of the long sword, which was vigorous and powerful with good calligraphy. What's more, this word was written by Ye Wen with his finger on the long sword. He had heard about this kind of magical skill in the stories of some storytellers before, but he had never seen it with his own eyes.

Lin Pingzhi had received various teachings since he was a child, now that he saw this long sword, he also knew what it meant. Especially looking at the expression on his big brother Fang, he knew that such a master was definitely not something that you could meet casually in the cabbages on the roadside.

Originally, I only said that Ye Wen's kung fu was good, although he should be a master in the world, but it would not be too exaggerated. Only now did I know that Ye Wen was a great master in the Jianghu, the Lin family was not in vain for knowing such a master, and gave them so many gifts.

After returning the scabbard that Huayi had handed over, and then handing the long sword back to the sheath to Brother Fang who he trusted the most, Lin Pingzhi said: "Brother Ye is too polite!"

Ye Wen didn't say anything, just took a sip of tea!

He was indeed being polite, otherwise he would have received a bunch of things for nothing, but didn't do things for others, and he would feel really sorry. After all, he didn't know much about the Miss Lin family whom he had never met, so it was impossible for him to help matchmaking.

Then several people chatted for a while, Lin Pingzhi suddenly said: "I don't know if your sect still recruits disciples?"

Ye Wen was stunned for a moment, seeing Lin Pingzhi's enthusiastic expression, he immediately understood that this was Mr. Lin's desire to learn martial arts, but as Mr. Shangshu, can this person bear the hardships of learning martial arts?

He observed from this side, and only listened to Lin Pingzhi's words: "I have also learned kung fu from my eldest brother Fang for several years. Although it is only some simple moves, I think it can be regarded as some basics. It shouldn't be too bad. !"

Even though he said that, his expression showed a bit of unconfidence. He is from his own family who knows his own family affairs. Since he was a child, he mainly studied various strategies and poems, and occasionally learned from his father how to behave and how to get along with others. Although he is not very old, he is not yet twenty this year, but all He has learned a lot, and he is quite sophisticated.

But the result of studying so hard is that the body is relatively poor. In addition, everyone's children, at his age, basically have a few maids who warm the bed every day, and go out to spend time and drink from time to time. The body is really not much better. And there is not much free time, and the time that can be used to practice martial arts is even less. If his father didn't feel that proper exercise can ensure his health, he might not even have the time to practice martial arts.

Ye Wen glanced twice, raised his right hand, and made a gesture to feel the pulse. Lin Pingzhi came to his senses very well, knowing that it was someone who wanted to check his own bones, so he immediately handed over his wrist.

After only calling for a while, Ye Wen frowned: "Your body is not good enough..."

Lin Pingzhi didn't expect that his foundation would be discovered by others, and said embarrassingly: "I also take some supplements on weekdays, but the effect is limited!"

Ye Wen said: "Don't eat too much of those hard supplements, it's not good to eat too much!" Then he asked: "What kind of kung fu have you practiced on weekdays?"

Lin Pingzhi replied that most of them were simple swordsmanship, fists and palms, and he had also practiced qi training kung fu, but it was still difficult to get started.

Ye Wen thought for a while, and finally held down Lin Pingzhi's wrist, and sent a burst of zhenqi past, and whispered: "Remember the route of zhenqi in the body!"

Lin Pingzhi was just stunned for a moment, and immediately understood that this was a great blessing. He didn't dare to make a sound, but just quietly felt the warm silk thread turning around in his body a few times. I don't know if I loosen my hand.

When he came back to his senses and was about to thank Ye Wen, Ye Wen said: "You and I met once, it's a fate, I will help you cross this threshold today, in the future, as long as you follow this route and practice hard, even if you succeed Not a martial arts master, but prolonging life and maintaining good health are not a problem.”

The qi-moving route he used just now is just some basic breathing exercises, similar to the basic internal skills. In fact, he modified the set of breathing exercises he practiced at the beginning. Because he has been practicing Taoist inner strength for a long time, he has a certain understanding of inner qi health preservation, so he made this attempt. He has long made up his mind that this health-preserving breathing kung fu is specially used as a way to give favors.

The ability to practice qi in this kung fu is mediocre, but it upholds the consistent characteristics of Taoist kung fu, which has a good effect on health maintenance. If ordinary people persist and practice hard, they can still walk like flying when they are seventy or eighty years old, and they can also It is not bad to be able to cultivate a body of internal strength.

It was passed on to Lin Pingzhi today, and the Shushan faction could be regarded as having a good relationship with the Lin family, but the matter of getting married seems to have been neglected intentionally or unintentionally by both parties.

Lin Pingzhi is not an unobtrusive person, just looking at people's attitudes, he can understand that it is almost impossible to recruit Xu Xian into the Lin family as a son-in-law today, but getting these things is not a waste of time.

He and Ye Wen have deepened their friendship, let's not talk about whether they will be troublesome in the future, but one more friend can also lead to more roads, right?

What's more, if they can form a bond with the Shushan School, the Lin family can also ask the Shushan School to send a few outstanding disciples to keep their family safe, which is better than anything else.

"Actually, what I care most about is the method of practicing Qi that brother Ye taught me. This warm thread is turning around in the body, which is really interesting!"

Hearing that, the guard was also admirable. The one who can make a burst of true energy stay in the body and keep running is indeed the kind of master that he needs to look up to.

"The young master got such a chance, he needs to practice more in the future!"

Lin Pingzhi smiled and said: "That's natural!" He still remembers that before leaving, Ye Wen whispered in his ear: "The true energy I sent into your body will dissipate on its own after seven days. If you If you practice more every day, you will be able to develop your own zhenqi, so it doesn’t matter if my zhenqi dissipates. If you don’t practice, then after the zhenqi dissipates, you will be able to cultivate your own zhenqi. It will be much more difficult! My help today is at most to make you feel comfortable!"

"I don't want to talk about anything else, you have to practice this health-preserving exercise, it will be of great benefit to your intercourse!"

Just this one sentence strengthened the determination of Mr. Lin to practice this skill hard, and secretly said: "We must try the prestige that lasts all night!"

He didn't know, so he left by himself, and the young master of the Baili family also ran over to see Ye Wen.

"Young Master Baili is also a matchmaker for your sisters?" Ye Wen didn't have much impression of Young Master Baili, and he didn't talk much when chatting at that time, so he didn't want to come to visit him on purpose today.

As soon as Ye Wen opened his mouth, he knew he had guessed wrong: "I'm here to visit Brother Ye on purpose today!" Seeing Ye Wen's strange expression, Bai Liming explained: "Perhaps Brother Ye is strange, and I'm here to visit Ye on purpose. What is the reason, brother! In fact, my Baili family is a military family, and the family also has some ancestral kung fu, so I am relatively close to people in the martial arts, so I came to visit!"

"Oh……"

Only then did Ye Wen know that Bai Liming's father was a commander in the imperial army, and his authority was not small, responsible for the defense of the capital. And this Bai Liming has also taken up a idle position in the Imperial Army, and maybe he will be able to get a real position in a few years.

Bai Liming didn't follow any orders from his family when he came here today, he just came to get close to Ye Wen. After the two chatted for a while, Bai Liming also left.

Just saying that, Ye Wen felt that it was not that simple. Would Bai Liming come here on purpose to get close to the head of a country sect? To put it bluntly, I still want to win myself over by friendship.

Not to mention that my junior is the champion of the new discipline, and he is also a master of no merit, if the Baili family can win him over, it will be equivalent to win over Xu Xian indirectly. At the same time, he has also established a relationship with the Shushan School. If he can get a few outstanding disciples from the Shushan School to enrich his team, that will be a big plus.

"None of these officials' sons is an idiot!"

After seeing off Bai Liming and seeing a lot of presents piled up in his room, Ye Wen wondered whether he should leave the capital as soon as possible? If things go on like this, he himself is not much better than Xu Xian, and it doesn't feel good to be a rare giant panda surrounded by people.

While muttering, Xu Xian walked in with a tired face. Seeing Ye Wen's posture in the room, he also laughed: "Brother is busy today, right?"

Ye Wen had expected Xu Xian's schadenfreude for a long time, and replied flatly: "I still owe it to my junior, the number one scholar!" After speaking, he said: "Didn't you say you just want to fool around?"

"I was fooled! But I didn't fool it..." Xu Xian was also full of depression when he mentioned this, who would have thought that this palace exam would be so watery that he could get the first prize with the paper he answered casually.

When Ye Wen heard Xu Xian say this, he could only sigh, and then he stopped dwelling on this topic, and just asked, "When are you going to leave the capital?"

Xu Xian thought for a while: "At least we have to wait until the emperor rewards our new batch of Jinshi, and then report to the department to which we belong!"

"Oh! What department do you think you will enter?" In Ye Wen's memory, most of the new scholars entered the Imperial Academy, and I don't know if there is such a department in this imperial court.

Just listen to Xu Xiandao: "Third-class Jinshi usually enters the Hanlin Academy. It is an idle job and there is no lucrative job. It is uncertain when it will come out! Second-class Jinshi is not necessarily the case. Some enter the Imperial Academy, and some enter the Six Departments for further study."

"What about Yijia?" Yijia is the top three, the second place, and Tanhua. Seeing Xu Xian's meaning, he will enter a real power department for further training at the last time. If that is the case, it will be very difficult to resign!

"Definitely enter six! As for where to go, it depends on how the emperor decides!" Xu Xian was also aware of this problem, and immediately approached Ye Wen and asked in a low voice: "Senior brother, is there any green fruit left?"

"You're thinking……?"

Xu Xian raised his finger: "That's the only way to do it if necessary! But right now, I have to leave the capital and return to Mount Shu!"

After chatting for a while, I realized that it was getting late, and I looked at the mess in the room, which was full of gifts, and Ye Wen also knew that he couldn't eat in the room: "Let's go to the lobby to have a bite! It's just that I'm being watched, anyway, I'm not looking at me !"

A group of people cheered and came to the lobby. It was meal time and there were still a lot of people. He and his group managed to get two tables before ordering food. Xian came close. Quite a few people acted like they had been waiting there for a long time, hoping that the No. 1 scholar would show up.

These people came up to talk a few words and wanted to see and see, and some came to recommend themselves, such as being an official for Xu Xian or something. What's more amazing, a girl actually ran up to Xu Xian, knelt down with a puff, crying and shouting to be his concubine, which made Xu Xian's head huge.

This meal was a lively one, and Ye Wen had the right to watch a show.

And because everyone around them was looking at them, he didn't notice at first that two women in the far corner were talking about this group of people in a low voice while making a gesture of eating.

"male……"

The man on the other side stared.

"Miss...that is Xu Xian, the champion of the new division!"

The woman who was quite good-looking and also attracted a lot of attention but didn't think there was anything wrong said: "My lord... I can see it, can I still use you to say it?"

This woman was wearing a skirt made of fine silk and satin, and with her elegant temperament, her luxurious air was undoubtedly revealed. Sitting in such a corner was really eye-catching. Most people are looking at this one.

"Miss, Huang... the Eldest Young Master means to betroth the young lady to that Mr. Xu! I see that Mr. Xu is handsome and talented, and he is barely worthy of you, young lady!"

The woman raised her eyes slightly, glanced at Xu Xian, and then proudly said: "A man has such an appearance, what's so good about being like a woman?" After speaking, Xu Xian just coughed twice, He said again: "It's so sick and weak, can you still be regarded as a man? It's not as good as the one next to you." He pointed to one of the people of the Shushan School: "Walking freely while carrying such a big weapon That’s what counts as a man.”

The servant girl next to him said again: "Miss, that is the number one scholar. It is said that his literary talent is extraordinary. During the palace examination, there was almost no dispute. All the ministers all elected him as the number one scholar! Isn't this kind of talent exactly what the young lady asked for?"

The woman snorted: "My lady's requirements are that she is talented in literature, knowledgeable in books and sensible, outstanding in appearance, tall and straight, and it is best to know some martial arts. Only then can she be regarded as capable of both civil and military skills, and she is barely worthy of Miss Shangben!"

The servant girl stuck out her tongue after hearing this: "If you want to meet Miss's request, that man will probably become an old man!" Gein's requirements are so many and high, how can an ordinary man in his twenties be able to do so much? ?

I didn't want this one to hear it, but just glanced contemptuously: "That's because I am not good enough, how can I be worthy of Miss Ben?" Then he said: "Miss is going out in a low-key way today, just to see what the number one scholar is like." Level... hmph, that's all!"

The servant girl looked at the guards at the three tables surrounding the two of them, and then looked at the many guards sitting on the other side of the street, and broke out in a cold sweat: "Miss, are you still low-key?"

Over there, Ye Wen also noticed this group of people, and secretly said to Xu Xian: "I don't know whose family's lady is there, but she brought so many people to see you! It's really high-profile!"
