Chapter 66 Bet
After the matters on the side of Kunjiu County are settled, the group will go to Beijing.
For the sake of convenience, a group of people rode forward, followed by saluting and other things.
Shen Ge's riding skills are not bad, he is riding Xun Feiguang's Du Xin, and Xun Feiguang has changed to a white horse named Banxia.
The two horses are extremely human. Among the group of people, Xun Feiguang is the one they are most afraid of, and Shen Ge is the one they like the most.
Qin Shi once secretly went to ride, and picked a more docile Pinellia, but Banxia pouted directly, biting his clothes with the horse's mouth wide open and refused to let it go.
Qin Shi failed to ride a horse secretly, and was caught. The man blushed and scolded Ban Xia in a low voice, "Let go! You stinky horse, you know how to watch people play, Shen Ge is here to ride you. You can't wait to roll around and act like a baby, what if I ride it, will it lose my fast meat, or will it stab your back?"
Shao Xin came to rescue him, and couldn't help laughing when he heard the words, "Give up on it, in terms of the fate of animals, who can compare with Shen Ge? When we come to catch fish, the fish will jump on him."
Qin Shi didn't believe it, "You just make it up, how can a stupid fish come here to die in such a way? I think it's the power of this broken horse, with big eyes that leak light, and will pick good-looking people to get close to!"
As soon as Qin Shi finished speaking, Ban Xia snorted and tried to bite his clothes again. Qin Shi was so frightened that he jumped three feet away like a rabbit, causing a burst of low laughter, which made him blush again.
Even if he doesn't say anything, everyone knows that among the group, Qin Shi dislikes Shen Ge the most. He may think that Shen Ge has robbed his friends or for other reasons, so he will come to criticize him from time to time.
Shen Ge himself knew it, but he didn't say anything to this naive little duke, he didn't see him too much, he just turned a blind eye and walked over.
One day Qin Shi heard the guards praise Chen Ge and Xun Feiguang's match made in heaven, Qin Shi was not happy, and muttered in a low voice, "It's just like that, one is powerful and powerful, and the other is beautiful and pleasing."
He has a high status, and the guards don't like to say anything about him, they just avoid him and try to have as little contact with him as possible.
After Xun Feiguang saw that Qin Shi was faintly excluded, he specially talked to him once.
Qin Shi had been younger than Xun Feiguang for several years, and when he was young, he often ran behind Xun Feiguang's buttocks. Xun Feiguang's elder brother Xun Feiguang kept barking, but Xun Feiguang didn't say anything, but deep in his heart he had the intention of treating him as a younger brother.
Hearing Xun Feiguang's question, Qin Shi felt aggrieved, "Not to mention anything else, ever since you got married, brother Xun, you've been bored with each other all day long, and you don't care about our brothers."
Xun Feiguang's expression remained unchanged, "Then how about you? Why don't you move next door to me and be worthy of Brother Geer?"
Qin Shi couldn't help trembling when he heard the words, he has wives, concubines and children, even though he doesn't live with them often, he also likes a few concubines quite a bit, he has absolutely no habit of breaking his sleeves.
Seeing that he couldn't speak, Xun Feiguang said: "You just can't turn the corner for a while, you can think about it more, don't imitate women's behavior, and make people laugh."
Qin Shihong responded with a cheeky face, and immediately put it down a little bit. When she met Shen Ge again, her attitude improved by more than a little bit.
Qin Shixin is not bad, but his only exclusive title to Xun Feiguang was snatched away by Shen Ge, and he was a little jealous in his heart.
Shen Ge also heaved a sigh of relief after knowing this, "Master Qin is like this, I always feel that I stole you away, and I feel uncomfortable."
"He has always been muddled, so don't argue with him, it will be fine after a while."
Shen Ge rolled his eyes when he heard the words, and squinted at him, "Brother Xun, do you mean a lot of protection in your words?"
"Huh? Jealous? Do you want to experience how much I care about you?"
Xun Feiguang's voice was low and deep, and he said it specifically in Shen Ge's ear, not to mention being provocative.
The hot and humid breath fell on Shen Ge's skin, and he reacted almost immediately. He hurriedly grabbed his clothes to cover them, and took two steps back, "It's not necessary. Indulging in pleasure can easily delay work, I'm not that kind of person."
Xun Feiguang smiled lowly, Shen Ge's ears were hot, and he fled in despair.
When it comes to talking dirty, Shen Ge will never be Xun Feiguang's opponent.
A group of people stopped and walked all the way, not in a hurry.The pigeons raised by Xun's family would fly to Xun Feiguang's place almost every day at noon to deliver messages for him.
Xun Feiguang didn't shy away from Shen Ge when he watched it. Shen Ge saw the movements of the northern barbarians or the southern foreign barbarians several times, so he knew that Xun Feiguang had never let go of state affairs.
"It seems that the northern barbarians are not dead, and the southern Yangyi is not a fuel-efficient lamp. Is the court okay?"
Shen Ge can understand deeds, but he can't judge the situation at all.
"There is no problem in the north. If it is in the south, the foreigners will still invade, unless a piece of land is assigned to them, and then the sea and business are banned."
"How can this work?" Shen Ge objected immediately, "With such a big piece of fat hanging there, the only way is not to cede the land, but to train a powerful navy to fight until the foreigners are afraid. The second step is to open the port and do business with it, so that Yangyi can also have some sweetness."
"Let's look at it again, this is not a fatuous temper."
Xun Feiguang didn't mention much, he is now in a semi-hidden state, and if he doesn't make a move, he will deal with the matter with a thunderbolt, so that all parties can see his minions, so that no one will treat him as a sick cat and want to come and bully him Take a sip.
The lice are not serious, and if there are too many lice, it is very worrying. Xun Feiguang doesn't want to get more.
Shen Ge also felt that this kind of small-scale harassment was not enough to get Xun Feiguang to take action, so he didn't mention it.
A few days later, the group arrived at Huaiyang Mansion.
Although horseback riding is not too hard and the weather is not too hot, everyone still wants to take a good rest after several days of wind, food and camping.
"I see, how about resting here for three days before leaving?"
Qin Shi became more mature after Xun Feiguang asked him to talk to him, he stopped targeting Shen Ge deliberately, and became more stable, but he was still a bit coquettish.
The group of people were all tanned, only Shen Ge was still so fair, and Qin Shi's face was almost peeled from the tan, and he really wanted to take a rest.
Xun Feiguang pondered for a while, looked up at Shen Ge's expectant face, and said, "Then rest for three days."
After Xun Feiguang settled down, the group came to the inn run by Bailiyi and asked for a courtyard.This is a typical small courtyard in the south of the Yangtze River. It doesn't look big, but there are organs everywhere, which are extraordinarily exquisite.
Qin Shi took a good look at the carved beams and painted buildings, he couldn't stand his skill, so he took his servants to visit Huaiyang Mansion in the evening of that day, and searched for a few squares of wood.
Only then did Shen Ge know that the seemingly dandy Young Lord Qin, his hobby is carpentry, and he also brought a set of fine small tools when he went out. He said he wanted to carve something, and he could carve it out immediately.
Yu Zuimo and Qin Shi have been walking together for a long time, and this is the first time he knows that he has such a skill, he doesn't paint for a while, and only watches Qin Shi carve things.
Hu Qingyan was not surprised, "They all have this kind of temperament, and they can't put it down once they are picked up."
Huaiyang Mansion is a large mansion, a few days ago, Baili Yi just opened a silver house here, after Shen Ge knew about it, he said he wanted to go and have a look.
Xun Feiguang had something to deal with, and it was Hu Qingyan and Shao Xin who went out with Shen Ge.
Hu Qingyan was born in the imperial examination, and he is not 01:30 more proficient in literati and Moshi than Chen Ge.
As a group of people walked on the road, Hu Qingyan took Shen Ge into an antique shop or a calligraphy and painting shop from time to time. When he was interested, he would comment and tell Shen Ge many allusions.
Shen Ge walked around with him for most of the day, but he didn't feel bored, but Shao Xin didn't understand, and he wasn't interested, and he was so sleepy along the way that he almost burst into tears.
In order to take care of him, Shen Ge didn't continue to stroll, but walked directly to the silver building.
Different from the hastily arranged silver building in Kunjiu County, the silver building in Huaiyang is extraordinarily exquisite and magnificent. Many veiled women come and go, and it seems that there are a lot of tourists here.
The shopkeeper of the silver building is a middle-aged man in his 30s. He has no beard and looks very capable. When he smiles, his ordinary face is very attractive.
He recognized Shen Ge at a glance, bowed his head and said with a smile, "Second Master."
Shen Ge nodded, walked around with his company, and asked, "How's the business going?"
"The customers come like a cloud. The small ones have opened so many shops, and there are only a handful of them that can compare with our silver building." The shopkeeper smiled and respectfully led Chen Ge upstairs, and after brewing fragrant tea, he brought a small box from downstairs , "Only five days after opening, the account book is here, take a look."
Shen Ge took a rough look and found that the silver house made a lot of money.
"Has the craftsmen of the Silver Building recruited enough? I would rather slow down and not lose quality."
"Second master, don't worry, if this little one knows, there won't be such a thing." The shopkeeper took out another account book from the box, "This is the list of craftsmen in our Huaiyang Silver House, Second Master, please take a look."
Shen Ge opened it and saw that there were more than a hundred people on it, so he couldn't help being surprised.
"They are all old craftsmen who have signed a death contract. Their craftsmanship is excellent, and they will never reveal our designs."
Shen Ge took a look and found that the shopkeeper was very capable, and he didn't need to intervene at all, so he stopped asking.
However, Shen Ge still has a question in his heart, "We have made so many accessories, will the market be saturated?"
The shopkeeper responded for a while before he knew what Shen Ge meant. He couldn't help but smiled, "There are so many people in Huaiyang Mansion, let alone many outsiders come here. Even if we make ten times more jewelry, we won't say it's for sale." stay home."
Shen Ge nodded, and the shopkeeper smiled, "We have the only jewelry in our building, many customers will come back, some customers can return two or three times a day, it's all thanks to you."
Shen Ge was speechless, "So much?"
"Yes, jewelry inlaid with gemstones sells the best, followed by gold jewelry. The gemstone accessories ordered by customers may not be finished until next year."
Shen Ge took a look around and was very satisfied with this silver building.
When Shen Ge was shopping, many girls looked at him openly and secretly. His ears were sharp, and he heard faint laughter, and they generally called his name in a low voice, pushing people back and forth to say hello to him, etc.
Shen Ge was a little funny in his heart, he was very clear about the thoughts of the little girls, and he could empathize with them in his heart. He often hesitated for a long time before he could muster up the courage to go up the mountain to talk to his brother Xun.
Hu Qingyan walked around with him, feeling: "There are so many girls who like you."
"There are quite a lot of girls who like uncle. If you look at the restaurant over there, the girl in the light green dress is looking at you. Well, there is also the bean-colored one. She also stared at you for a long time .”
Hu Qingyan made fun of Shen Ge but was teased by him, smiled helplessly and shook his head, and did not speak again.
When Shen Ge returned to the inn, he met an unexpected person.
The long and tall man in green shirt greeted Shen Ge first, and called out in a warm voice, "Brother Shen."
"Brother Hu, why is it you?" Shen Ge shouted in surprise.
The person who came was Hu Naiqing who had rescued Shen Ge. At that time, Shen Ge was about to go to Daoning Mansion to take the Juren examination, but he had a nightmare halfway, and Xun Feiguang worriedly took him to divert him to find Hu Naiqing.
Hu Naiqing told Xun Feiguang at the time that it was because Shen Ge's parents and elder brothers in his previous life were trying to attract Shen Ge's soul, so he had a sign that his soul would leave his body.
Hu Naiqing quickly attracted all of Shen Ge's souls back, and also ordered Shen Ge to bid farewell to his parents and elder brothers in his previous life in his sleep.
Based on this, Shen Ge is extremely grateful to him.Although Shen Ge didn't get along with him for long, his status in Shen Ge's mind was not low, and he was almost respected as a teacher.
Hu Naiqing smiled, "I came here to follow you."
Shen Ge pointed to the tip of his nose in disbelief, "Follow me?"
"Yes, to follow you."
Hu Naiqing originally wanted to meet them again at the front, but Shen Ge and the others wanted to rest up. Xun Feiguang sent a letter, and Hu Naiqing simply packed up his things and chased after them.
Shen Ge has a very good impression of Hu Naiqing. He knows that he is a very capable lay Taoist priest. Apart from Taoist methods, his knowledge is not weak, at least no worse than ordinary Jinshi. Such a talented person should follow himself, Shen Ge thinks Somewhat unbelievable.
"I, what can I do?"
"Aren't you going to start a college?" Hu Naiqing smiled, "I'm not greedy either, just give me the position of vice president."
Shen Ge was still a little dazed, but Hu Naiqing asked: "Why, are you not happy?"
Shen Ge looked at his smiling face, then looked at Xun Feiguang standing behind him, and nodded like a chicken pecking at rice, "I am willing! Of course I am, I am extremely honored! It's just that I am just an idea, and I haven't done anything yet. I don’t know how long it will take until the academy officially opens.”
"Don't worry, it will be done by this time next year at the latest."
Shen Ge was taken aback for a moment, then remembered that he was a very capable Taoist priest, and divination should not be a problem, so he nodded quickly, "That will work, Brother Hu, if you are willing, I am very happy, and I will trouble you more in the future gone."
Shen Ge had a small chat with Hu Naiqing, and it was initially established that Hu Naiqing would be the vice president of the college.
However, the site, teachers, students, etc. have not yet been found, and they can't do anything for a while.
Shen Ge mentioned it to Xun Feiguang at night, and Xun Feiguang said: "Brother Hu is a man of real ability, if he can assist you, that would be great."
Shen Ge murmured: "A good thing is a good thing, but Brother Hu assists me, I always feel a bit inferior."
"Don't think too much, he chose you this time, not you begging him. He will come all the way, and he has his own reasons."
Hu Naiqing arrived late, at noon of the second day, and everyone knew that there was an extra person in the team.
As bodyguards, Shaoxin and the others had no objection.
Qin Shi was not very happy, and muttered to himself: "Okay, here comes another Shen Ge party."
Hu Naiqing knew what he was thinking, looked at him and smiled, and said first: "I have decided that I will be the vice president of Shen Ge College in the future, and please give me your advice."
Qin Shi muttered, "What are you talking about?"
Hu Naiqing just smiled and said nothing.
Yu Zuimo couldn't help asking: "Brother Hu, are you so optimistic about Shen Ge's academy?"
"nature."
"Then what kind of gentleman do you want, a painter?"
Yu Zuimo is over thirty years old, and apart from his fame, he has nothing else.
His parents and elder brothers watched him wandering around year after year, and they were very worried.Yu Zuimo usually doesn't think about these things too much, but after following Shen Ge and the others for a long time, seeing that they all have pursuits, he gradually feels that he is wasting his time.
"Of course I want it." Shen Ge could also see what he was thinking, and hurriedly said: "It would be best for brother Yu to be the teacher of our academy, if you don't want to, you can introduce one or two to us, we are also very grateful. "
Qin Shi was not annoyed, "One or two of you, the college has not been built yet, are you so confident?"
"Of course." Hu Naiqing smiled gently, "Among all the people in the world, I have the most confidence in Shen Ge."
"Why? Is it because he is married to brother Xun?" Qin Shi was not angry, "Whether such a unique college can recruit students is another matter."
Hu Qingyan glanced at him slowly, "Because he is lucky."
Qin Shi was taken aback, but he didn't expect this answer.
Shen Ge was also a little dazed, he thought that what Hu Naiqing was looking at was his talent or ambition, but he couldn't imagine that what he was looking at in the end was only his own luck.
Qin Shi quickly realized, "This is what I'm talking about, who knows if I'm lucky or not."
"Shen Ge encountered millennium ginseng as soon as he went out, and he was familiar with the exam questions. As soon as he opened the store, he made a lot of money, and customers came like a cloud. Doesn't this prove that he is lucky?"
"Of course, if you encounter a thousand-year-old reference question, it might be a blind cat encountering a dead mouse, and the opening of the store is probably the skill of Bailiyi and the others. So can it all be blamed on Shen Ge?" Speaking of this, Qin Shi was the first Unconvinced.
If you say you follow Shen Ge because of his face, follow him because of Brother Xun's face, follow him because of his reputation, etc., Qin Shi can still understand, how lucky is it?
Qin Shi was stubborn, "You say that luck is good, but I don't agree with that."
"How about we make a bet?"
Qin Shi was vigilant, "What is the bet?"
"Just bet on Shen Ge's luck. If I lose, I will give you the "Lu Ban Jie"."
Qin Shi's breathing suddenly became heavy, and it was the common wish of these carpenters to get the "Lu Ban Jie" written by Lu Ban's patriarch.He had sent people to search for a long time, but they couldn't find the whereabouts of this booklet. He never thought that he could hear it now.
"Who knows if you have it or not?"
Hu Naiqing smiled, took out a booklet from her arms, and handed it to Qin Shi on the spot.
Qin Shi hurriedly took it with both hands, turned it carefully, and couldn't take his eyes away when he saw him, knowing in his heart that this was probably the real "Luban Jie".
Qin Shizheng was interested in reading it, and pulled out the booklet from the side with one hand skillfully.
Qin Shi's expression darkened, and he asked, "What if I lose?"
He was already moved, wishing he could get the booklet now.
Hu Naiqing said slowly: "It's okay, just come to the academy and be a teacher. Do it for five years first, and after five years, if you don't want to, you can leave on your own."
Qin Shi's complexion changed, "Okay, I promise you, what are we betting on? Let me make it clear first that I want Brother Xun to be the referee and we will believe it."
"No problem." Hu Naiqing agreed, and turned to sing, "Isn't your silver house collecting materials? I heard that there is a stone betting, why don't we go and gamble?"
Hu Naiqing was confident, Shen Ge subconsciously agreed, "Just listen to Brother Hu."
Hu Naiqing smiled.
