After being mistaken for a fellow by Long Aotian

The Yan family has very strict family education, and Yan Shangshu has high requirements for his own conduct, talent and learning, and even higher requirements for his children.For his son, he taught him to be a pillar of the family and the country, a gentleman, and to abide by the way of a gentleman in every word and deed. He has strict requirements on talent and knowledge.He was born in a very poor family, and he had to walk three miles of snowy road to go to the school, so he was admitted to Tanhua on his own.Young out of blue should be better than blue, and for his only son, he even issued a military order: "As a father, he came from a poor family and was still a low-ranking student. As the son of a minister, if you fail to pass the first-class exam, you will be listed as a low-ranking man!"

For his daughter, he is also merciless.It would be embarrassing for the Shangshu family's daughter to be illiterate. Therefore, even in a situation where it is generally believed that "a woman is virtuous if she is ignorant", he invited someone to teach her for Miss Yan.Of course, female precepts are the basis of everything. As his daughter, it is the most natural thing to abide by chastity and etiquette.

Therefore, as soon as Yan Ruoxi hanged himself, Yan Shangshu, who was almost furious, blocked the news immediately - the daughter who was going to marry hanged herself before the wedding. If this kind of news spread, wouldn't the Yan family lose everything? face!After Yan Ruoxi was rescued by her mother-in-law, she didn't say the reason for hanging herself. When she asked her why, she just cried.

Even Yan Jia, the younger brother of Yan, didn't understand the reason why his sister hanged herself-in his opinion, her sister was very lucky.

Strict father himself is noble, so he wants his family to be noble together.Zhou Cai is a popular person in front of the emperor. Although the elder sister and Zhou Cai are in love with each other, if there is no hero to save the beauty, because of the strict father's scruples about his vanity and clinging, and always draw a line with his favorite ministers, even Zhou Cai If you come to ask for it in person, this marriage will not come true.

But it happened that there was a hero saving the beauty.That day, my sister encountered a villain on the way to incense, and fell into the water on the way. She had been with that person while she was wearing clothes, but her whole body was soaked.Therefore, in the eyes of Yan's father, his daughter has already lost her reputation, and therefore, it is certain that she will be with Zhou Cai who saved her.The only thing to be thankful for is that Zhou Cai’s character and appearance can be regarded as top-notch, and a bad thing has now become a good thing——if Miss Yan is really insulted by bad people, needless to say, Father Yan will be the first to send her to the temple ——Although he didn't go to the point of forcing his daughter to hang himself, in his opinion, if such a thing happened to his daughter, no matter how distressed he was, he would have to send her to a temple and become a nun from then on.

Therefore, Ms. Yan can be said to be extremely lucky, and the person who is in love with each other happens to be the best choice.For this marriage, the whole Yan family was happy, and Yan Jia, the younger brother of Yan, was also happy - with his sister's marriage, Yan's father would no longer stare at him all day long.However, Miss Yan hanged herself——this made the whole family puzzled.

Therefore, when Yan Jia left the house today, he had to do one thing besides relaxing - he wanted to find a collection of poems for his sister, maybe after reading the collection of poems, she would not be so unhappy.

It's a pity that the collection of poems seems to be out of print, and he couldn't find it after searching everywhere.From the street to the end of the street, a kind shopkeeper finally said to him: "Go to the bookstore deep in that alley and have a look. There are many old books hidden in that bookstore. Maybe there is something you need."

Only then did Yan Jia see the bookstore.That bookstore was hidden in the innermost alley, looking listless, no wonder he walked here many times without seeing it.

Zhou Xun is in that listless bookstore.

The owner of the store is an old man with a scholar, and he is not enthusiastic about doing business. Perhaps this is the reason why the business of the bookstore is always half-dead.When Zhou Xun entered the door, he disturbed the bamboo wind chime on the eaves, and the dozing old man just raised his eyelids to look at him, and then continued to read the book in his hand.

Fortunately, the books in the shop were quite complete, and they were kept extremely clean by the shop owner. They didn't even have the musty smell of books in ordinary bookstores that had been stained with moisture for many years.Zhou Xun's memory of this bookstore is still fresh because he found a collection of poems here that he had been searching for for a long time.

He searched the store for a long time, and sure enough he found a few books he needed.One is called "Kao Jing", which introduces the examination process and summarizes and analyzes the scoring points of previous examinations. After reading this book, students can roughly have a general and specific understanding of Chunwei; , bought for practice; in addition, there are many bibliographies.

He carried the books to the counter to pay.The old man never looked at him while he was picking, neither worried that he might steal the book nor cared what he was doing.This feeling made him very comfortable.

The old man counted the money, took the silver ingot in Zhou Xun's hand and started to make up for it.He glanced at Zhou Xun and said abruptly, "I met you two years ago, but you failed the exam? Why are you buying these again?"

Zhou Xun was taken aback for a moment, he smiled, and said neither humble nor overbearing: "I failed the ranking."

Unexpectedly, the old man was startled when he heard the words. He squinted his eyes, looked at Zhou Xun carefully, with some doubts in his expression, and muttered: "It shouldn't be, old man, I have the sharpest eyesight, no matter how you look at it, you can't understand Failed..."

If someone else was here and heard his words, I'm afraid they would feel extremely offended.Zhou Xun could see that the old man had no bad intentions, so he said gently: "Time is fate, this time in three years, it will be very different."

The old man snorted: "Didn't you say that time is fate? What's the matter, this time it's a change of luck?"

His words were very blunt, very blunt.Zhou Xun smiled: "There is another saying that man can conquer nature."

The old man was taken aback for a moment, and suddenly laughed loudly and said, "Man can conquer nature, good, good, have ambition!"

After speaking, he said again: "Take the book back and read it. If there is anything you don't understand, come to Youhuang Lane and ask me! I always stay here, and I am in a hurry."

The old man said this in a loud tone, as if there was nothing in the world that he didn't understand.Zhou Xun was startled, and looked seriously at this seemingly unknown old man.

This glance made him see something wrong that he had ignored before.

The old man grinned: "Why, do you think I'm lying, old man?"

"I don't dare to be late." Zhou Xun replied respectfully, "Mr. is a great Confucianist who first went to court, and I am flattered to be able to be taught by him..."

The old man was taken aback for a moment, and said for a while, "How did you find out? I don't have anything in this shop..."

"Because of the characters on the back of Mr.—Is this the characters written by Mr. Zhou Xun?" Zhou Xun said, "There is a rule in Dajing to avoid taboos of the Five Dynasties. All the characters related to the names of the emperor within the Five Dynasties are added one or more strokes." After the fifth generation, there is no need to avoid the taboo. The word "Yun" in the character behind the master is habitually missing a stroke. "Yun" is the name of the emperor before the sixth generation. There are many ways to avoid the taboo. First, the Hanlin Academy A fixed set of taboos is used, this piece of characters happens to have the names of the emperors of six generations ago, and the names of the emperors of three generations ago, and the taboos of the husband are all in line with it..."

"Of course," he smiled again, "Wan Sheng is just guessing boldly, please don't take offense, sir."

"Your eyes are very sharp." The old man didn't feel offended when he heard the words, but he laughed loudly. Zhou Xun knew that he was right with the other party's temperament—just as he felt before he spoke, "I won't let you It is a pity to be an official in the court and do some facts for the court! If you are free every month, you can often come here a few times, chat with the old man, and read books here, it is not bad."

What he said revealed that he wanted to accept Zhou Xun as his disciple, but he didn't say it clearly, maybe he wanted to observe again.Zhou Xun also knew it well.He didn't pretentiously refuse, but just accepted it graciously.

Seeing his generous appearance, the old man was even more satisfied in his eyes, but he said more words: "You seem to be generous-you don't know what a bargain I got! Forget it, it's getting late, you Go home, by the way—”

He took out a few books from the pile of books beside him and threw them to him: "I won't give you the change, these few books should be considered change!"

Zhou Xun took the book, thanked him and went.The old man leaned back on his bamboo chair again. He looked at the time in the sky, guessing that it was almost You hour, and stood up after stretching.

Squatting next to his bookstore were a few shopkeepers from other shops enjoying the shade. The old man’s bookstore was deep in the secluded alley, shaded by trees and cool.Seeing that the old man came out of the store so early and was about to put down the bamboo curtain, several people were all taken aback, and said casually, "Old man, are you closing so early today?"

The old man wanted to take down the bamboo poles that supported the bamboo curtains, and lazily raised his eyelids and said to them, "It's okay not to close. Now that people are old, their bodies are not as good as before, and they can be full of energy in the middle of the night..."

What he said was thoughtless, and several people laughed when they heard it.These few people all knew that this old man had a mysterious origin, and that there was only one bookstore he opened in the depths of Youhuang Lane, because the whole Youhuang Lane was his family's property.

A person can have a street in the capital, or the most lively and clean place in the capital.A few years ago, a wealthy businessman took a fancy to this place and wanted to buy it, and his attitude can be described as menacing.In the end, he not only failed, but also got into a lawsuit for no reason.

This is enough to show that this old man is not an ordinary person.They usually call people "blame the old man, blame the old man", but they really dare not offend him. The old man drooped his eyes and was about to put down the bamboo curtain when a young man in light green clothes ran up with a red face.He looked out of breath and was wiping sweat from his brow.Seeing that he was holding a bamboo pole, he was shocked and said: "Shop, shopkeeper, may I trouble you to wait a moment? The late student has a book to look for..."

"No more customers, it's closed today!" The old man replied.

"Please wait a little longer, can you?" the young man pleaded bitterly, "The family rules of Wansheng are very strict, and it takes a long time to come out. If you can't buy it this time, you have to wait for half a month to go out again..."

The old man remained unmoved and continued to close the bamboo curtain.The young man was in a hurry, he hurriedly said: "My sister has been depressed recently, and she will get married in half a month. I, as a younger brother, want to..."

Only then did the old man stop his hands, and he glanced at the young man: "Whose family are you a child?"

The young man was taken aback for a moment, he didn't have any scheming, and said in a low voice: "Father... my father Yan Rui..."

After saying this, he secretly screamed badly.Yan Shangshu is strict with the children in the family, and he firmly forbids them to say their names outside to show off their official positions, or to show off themselves.Yan Jia didn't mean it himself, but he was afraid that the old man would mistakenly think that he was planning to use his father's name as Minister of Rites to use his power to overwhelm others.

But Yan Rui... Maybe his father's name is not that famous?This old man is just a book seller, and the store is still open in such a deserted and remote place. Even though Moyuan is a downtown area, his store can still be deserted here... People like the old man may not know Who is his father?

He was regretting in his heart.The old man looked him up and down, and stopped when he saw the jade pendant with the family crest on his belt.

"Yan Rui? This kid was strict with himself when he was young, and he was so strict with his offspring, too much..." He snorted, "Forget it, seeing how you care about your sister, make an exception, come in and look for it!"

Yan Jia was immediately overjoyed, he didn't hear the previous sentence clearly, he just thought it was his filial piety that moved the old man.

It's just that he searched around but couldn't find the book, so he had to ask with a bitter face.

"Jiangxue Collection?" The old man was taken aback, "In order to solve riddles, I just gave the last book to the young man in front..."

As soon as he finished speaking, Yan Jia, who remembered the person he had passed by, didn't listen to the rest of the words, and rushed out of the bookstore impatiently.
