Chapter 29: Resignation, Big Brother Treats You Well (Added for ally Li Peiyun)

He glanced at his cousin, who was expressionless.

“The two seniors love, Ning Banquet is sincerely terrified, only that I cultivate the martial way, although I read when I was young, but now my studies are deserted.” Xu Qi’an couldn’t figure out the situation and didn’t dare to agree.

“There is no harm, reading and governing is a lifelong thing, it’s not too late anyhow.” Li Mubai smilingly stroked his goatee.

Surprisingly, I was treated so generously …. Xu Qi’an was shocked.

After thinking about it, he had a bright idea, glanced at his cousin once again, and laughed, “Also, the sea of learning has no boundaries, and my late generation does have a talent for reading, so I am grateful to the two gentlemen for looking at me. If I go to the academy, I will surely be a latecomer and surpass the old resignation.”

Upon hearing this, Xu Rui Lao let out a “heh” and said in a proud tone, “Teacher and Mr. Mubai are interested in your poems, such as ‘Mianyang Pavilion Sends Yang Gong to Qingzhou’.”

After saying that, Er Lang’s face stiffened, not daring to look at his teacher and Li Mubai, and slightly bowed his head.

Mianyang Pavilion sends Yang Gong to Qingzhou …. Yang Gong…. So that’s how it is ….. Xu Qi’an set a wave of condescending + venomous attributes of Xu Erlang and heard this.

After another moment of contemplation, he realized what the two great scholars had in mind.

This is indeed a shortcut to fame. Just refer to Mr. Wang Lun’s classmates to know that this kind brother just licked Li Bai comfortably, and easily became famous for ages and has been passed down to this day.

This shows that licking is also a skill.

Ancient licking dog, licking faggot to fame.

A modern day licking dog, licking goddesses until they have nothing left.

It is not wrong to revere the past and disparage the present.

Yunlu Academy’s path to officialdom was incredibly difficult, unable to become a major official, naturally not written in the history books. This is when the role of Xu Qi’an’s poetry is emphasized even more.

Bad old man bad …. The corner of Xu Qi’an’s mouth twitched, a little unconvinced, because people didn’t accept disciples because they saw him as a talented person and a firm character.

Rather, I crave his poetry.

The two great scholars were thick-skinned and their smiles remained unchanged.

Xu Qi’an pondered for a moment, “Thank you for the love of the two gentlemen, Ning Banquet is dedicated to learning, so I beg to differ. Recently, I had a sudden inspiration and brewed up a few good poems, so when I’m done with this matter at hand, I’ll go visit the two teachers at the Cloud Deer Academy again.”

Two teachers …. Xu Rui Lao’s cousin, on the contrary, is much more thoughtful than he himself …. Li Mubai let out a slight sigh of relief, and more smiles appeared on his face.

If he insisted on grabbing a disciple with Zhang Shen, the other party had the relationship of Xu Ruixu’s old relationship, and his own chances of winning were actually not very good.

Xu Qi’an said this beautifully.

“In that case, then the two of us will wait for you at Yunlu Academy.” Zhang Shen finished speaking and looked deeply at Xu New Year:

“Resignation ah, cultivate the body first nourish the nature, you have been enlightened for a year, delayed to break through to the cultivation realm …. Well, go home and transcribe the Sage’s Quotations three hundred times, and give them to me in a decade.”

Xu Xinxin was struck by lightning.

“The old man takes a step of thirty feet.” Zhang Shen turned around, took one step, and directly disappeared.

Li Mubai deliberately showed off his skills, drawing a circle around his body with his toes, glancing at Xu Qi’an and saying in a deep voice, “Within three inches of the old man, it doesn’t belong here, it belongs to the city gates.”

After saying that, his figure suddenly disappeared.

Xu Qi’an’s eyes widened!

“Rhetoric, what realm are these two great scholars in?”

Xu New Year hadn’t yet broken free from the despair of three hundred saintly quotes when Uncle Xu Er Er said, “I heard Nian’er say it’s the five Confucian virtues: virtue.”

He shared the scene he had seen outside the city with his nephew with gusto.

As long as I brag enough, there’s nothing in the world I can’t do? Xu Qi’an was shocked again.

Xu New Year exhaled a mouthful of turbid air, glancing somewhat remorsefully at Xu Dalang, who had set himself up, and said in no uncertain terms, “The realm of virtue can regulate one’s behavior and demeanor, and manipulate others with their words.”

“The most central ability of this realm is the initial mastery of the true meaning of words, being able to tamper with the laws of things to a certain extent, hence it has another name, called using words to mess with the law.”

“Of course, tactics like those of the two great scholars are not something an ordinary virtue realm can do.”

The two martial artists listened with fascination, and Uncle Xu regretted, “All the major systems are divine, and only the martial artists are good at fighting.”

So it is rough …. The proud Confucian Xu New Year did not say this out loud, considering that the two roughs were both of a higher generation than himself, and had a good reason to be rough.

Then he noticed his cousin’s eyes burning into his own.

“Jiro ….”

“Hmm?”

“Brother treats you well on weekdays.”

“Before big brother says that, please feel your conscience.”

“Big brother has a favor to ask.”

“…. said.”

“One day, when Erlang reaches the realm of virtue, I will need a promise from you.”

“…. said.”

“Erlang shall say to me: where is big brother’s sable? Oh, big brother’s sable is on his waist!”

“You’re lowly!” Xu Erlang whisked his sleeves away.

Xu Pingzhi listened to his nephew’s words and fell into deep thought.

……

Xu Qi’an had to make a trip to the Si Tian Supervisor, Xu Pingzhi’s father and son went to the Changle County Yamen, and Xu Ershu instructed his daughter to stay in the side hall of the Changle County Yamen and wait before she left.

Arriving for the first time at the Stargazer Building, the tallest building in the capital, Xu Qi’an tsked and surveyed it with interest.

“Ever been to Stargazer House before.” Song Qing asked.

“For the first time.”

“But you don’t look as if you’re surprised.” Song Qing saw the words ‘flat and unsurprised’ in Xu Qi’an’s eyes.

But anyone who sees the Stargazer building for the first time will find it a miracle of majestic grandeur.

Its foundations are twice the height of an ordinary house, its pillars are several times thicker than the Panlong pillars of a palace, and its bricks are taller than a man ….

It consumes one-third of a year’s tax revenue of the Dafeng Dynasty in terms of manpower, material and financial resources.

And the most let the Division of Heavenly Supervision crowd profit is proud of the height of the Stargazer Building is unrivaled in the world, the world is difficult to build someone can build more towering buildings than it.

Designed and built by the Alchemists of the Szentinel in conjunction with the Ministry of Public Works, it took 12 years and is the only one of its kind in the heavens.

Because I am used to seeing tall buildings …. Xu Qi’an laughed, “My second uncle always says that I have had a quiet heart since I was young, and that I don’t change my face when the mountain crumbles in front of me, so this may be a gift.”

Song Qing’s eyes lit up and he said cheerfully, “Only this quietness is worthy of working with me.”

Xu Qi’an looked at the other party’s dark circles under his eyes and felt that perhaps he had said something wrong.

On the seventh floor of the Stargazer Building, he met Chu Caiwei, whom he had met once before, wearing a goose-colored dress and sitting at a table with a wide array of food on it.

Steamed lambs steamed bear paws steamed deer tails roasted flower ducks roasted chicks roasted son geese ….. Xu Qi’an floated this terrain in his head.

“Why are you causing trouble again.” Chu Caiwei glanced at the young constable who had had a brief encounter with him, his cheeks puffed out in a vague greeting.

“You weren’t at Stargazer House before?” Xu Qi’an already knew what happened from Song Qing.

“Went to the eldest princess to beat the autumn wind.” Chu Caiwei said.

Xu Qi’an happened to be hungry, and was very self-conscious as he sat down at the tabletop and reached for a chicken leg.

Snap…

Chu Caiwei slapped his pig’s hoof away with a small hand, her large almond eyes filled with caution, “Didn’t eat?”

“Uh-huh.”

“Senior Brother Song you take him back and send him back after dinner.”

…. It’s as if I saw Xu Suoyin when she grew up! Xu Qi’an had a mouthful of grooves stuck in his throat, not knowing whether to spit or not.

“How did you fight with surname Zhou?” Chu Caiwei ate and suddenly asked a mouthful.

“I took my sister shopping, the surname Zhou saw her posture.”

“Is your sister pretty?”

“Not a patch on you.”

“That is indeed beautiful and unearthly.”

Xu Qi’an looked up at her as the sunlight shone through the air holes in the wall, and her beautiful googly-eyed face glowed with a healthy, warm color.

The eyes were large and round almond eyes, clear and bright, like containing stars, Xu Qi’an had rarely seen this kind of eyes with a few secondary flavors.

This face is a match made in heaven with my past life …..

“The tax silver case is over, do you know who dropped your second uncle’s tax silver.” Chu Caiwei sucked her fingers.

Xu Qi’an shook his head, “I’m just a small constable.”

Chu Caiwei raised her eyes and looked at it, then lowered her head and nibbled on a bite of fried roast duck with crispy outer skin, “The one who dropped the tax silver is the Imperial Sword Guard’s Thousand Household Lu 淐zhi, as well as the Household Department Dozhi’s chief minister Zheng Xin.”

“So?” Xu Qi’an raised an eyebrow.

“I heard that Zhou Xianping, the Minister of the Ministry of Revenue, is their backer.”

“!!!”

Crap fucking …. Xu Qi’an couldn’t help but want to explode.

It was as if an electric current ran through his mind, and he figured out a lot of things in a flash.

Therefore, after hearing me declare my name, the surname Zhou was determined to put me to death because I had cracked the tax and silver case and spoiled his old man’s big event.

He’s going to retaliate.

No, perhaps what happened today was originally a long-planned plan of his …. Squire Zhou’s residence is in the inner city, the two places are far away from each other, surnamed Zhou walked to the Xu residence nearby?

Unless he was purposely wandering around the Xu Mansion …. The surname Zhou has checked me, so how could he not know what Ling Yue looks like …. Molesting a good woman is an act, the real purpose is to find fault and use this excuse to screw me over.

It was as if there were cold snakes crawling behind Xu Qi’an’s back, and a chill rose in his heart.
