At the end of the Sui Dynasty

Chapter 41 Rapid Progress

Zeng Ada went back to the county government office to report to Yu Wenhuaji, and reported that Gao Bufan had accepted 70 taels of gold. Yu Wenhuaji just nodded and sent Zeng Ada away. He resentfully said: "Brother, is 70 taels of gold really cheaper than that kid Gao Bufan?"

Yu Wenzhi and this person are used to domineering, Zeng Ada under him was beaten by Gao Bufan a few days ago, and the little beauty and the big green horse were not obtained, but now Gao Bufan earned 70 taels of gold, so naturally he couldn't swallow it.

Yu Wenhuaji cursed with a cold face: "You still have the face to say it? If you weren't pushy, I would have lost the 70 taels of gold."

Yu Wenzhi said embarrassingly: "Brother, you are not at a loss. Didn't Supervisor Zhao Mu send you 2000 taels of silver? They are all from Feiying Racecourse, so you are actually not losing money, you are making money!"

Yu Wenhuaji said angrily: "Your elder brother and I are responsible for how much money you make, and you are a prodigal son. You say you are in your early thirties, and you can't fart. When our father stretches his legs, I won't bother Take care of you, fend for yourself."

Yu Wenzhiji blushed from the training, and said in embarrassment: "Isn't it just 70 taels of gold, big brother deserves to be so arrogant, at worst, I will return it to you when I return to Luoyang!"

Yu Wenhuaji sneered and said, "Don't think that I don't know what your plans are, so don't take out your old lady's coffin book if you have the ability."

Yuwen Zhiji's momentum was weak, and he muttered: "If you don't pay, you don't pay, don't think that you can earn money at home, I am just too lazy to earn money, just wait, my second master Yuwen will impress everyone in the world sooner or later. "

"Then I, Uncle Yuwen, will just wait and see." Yu Wenhuaji snorted coldly.

Yuwen Zhiji had just had a mouthful, without his elder brother Yu Wenhuaji's help, he might not even be able to pay for the travel expenses back to Luoyang, so he didn't dare to carry on, changing the subject and saying: "His grandma's, no Thinking that Gao Bufan is so good at poetry, this time he is really cheap, he has gained both fame and fortune, and he is still in the limelight in front of the Gongsun family. When the Gongsun family's song is released, the boy's reputation will be even greater. It is said that Duke Chu Yang Xuangan likes people who can write poems the most, if Duke Chu likes him, and with the support of the eldest grandson family and the Gao clan, this kid might become a great success."

Yu Wenhua and Wenyan were moved in their hearts, and a sinister smile appeared on the corner of their mouths: "The poetic talent is good, the better the poetic talent, the easier it is to turn into a dead talent."

"What do you mean?" Yuwen Zhiji looked confused.

Yu Wenhuaji glanced at his incompetent second brother, did not explain, but said indifferently: "This is over, pack up and leave for Luoyang tomorrow."

Yu Wenzhi heard the words and said: "So fast? I haven't played enough, big brother, why don't we stay a little longer and go back to Luoyang before winter?"

Ever since I met Dou Xianniang on the street the day before yesterday, Yu Wenzhi and this guy have been paying attention. At this time, the decent people are going to investigate and visit secretly, and they just have some clues, so naturally they are reluctant to leave so soon.

Yu Wenhuaji sternly reprimanded: "Don't just focus on playing with women, with the background of our Yuwen family, if you are willing to spend some time on economic career, you won't be as successful as you are now."

Yu Wenzhiji saw that his elder brother seemed to be really angry, but he didn't dare to contradict him anymore, he lowered his head and said, "Okay, then listen to elder brother, let's go back to Luoyang tomorrow."

"It's not us, it's you who set off to return to Luoyang!" Yu Wenhuaji corrected.

"What about you, big brother?" Yu Wenzhi asked hurriedly.

Yu Wenhua and Dan said: "The emperor will personally conquer Goguryeo in the spring of next year. Now that the emperor has come to Jiangdu, I will naturally go south to meet him."

Yu Wenzhiji's eyes lit up, and he almost drooled and said, "Then I will go down to Jiangdu with you, brother."

Jiangdu, also known as Yangzhou, is the most prosperous city in the Jianghuai area, and it is also a place of glamorous fireworks. Moreover, Wuyue area has been rich in beauties since ancient times. The women from the Jiangnan water town are not only fair and beautiful, but also have a gentle temperament like water. Wu Nong softly said , Yu Wenzhi wanted to see it a long time ago.

Yu Wenhuaji poured cold water on his head and said: "You don't have any official position, see you ass, go back to Luoyang honestly."

Yu Wenzhi said with a blushing face, "Then I'll go and greet daddy at the head office, daddy must be accompanying the emperor now."

Yu Wenhuaji's face darkened, he was about to have an attack, Yu Wenzhiji couldn't help but shivered, and said resentfully: "Okay, I won't go, I'll go back to Luoyang tomorrow."

Only then did Yu Wenhuaji look pale, and he ordered: "You can bring me back what you have gained from the inspection of the racecourse this time."

Yu Wenzhi was overjoyed. He knew that his elder brother had made a lot of money by inspecting various racecourses this time, at least tens of thousands of taels of silver, and he should collect some hard work fees by himself, so he patted his chest and said: "Don't worry, big brother, it's on my second brother."

Yu Wenhuaji warned: "I've made a list of all the things. If you lose or miss a penny, you just ask. Honestly take the things back and hand them to the housekeeper for storage. Naturally, you will benefit from it."

Yu Wenzhi and Ziran agreed, and asked for help with packing,
Let's say that Gao Bufan and his son returned to the racecourse, first went to the backyard to meet their mother, Mrs. Chen, the father and son had a tacit understanding, and did not disclose the assassination by a dead man, so as not to worry Mrs. Chen.

When Mrs. Chen learned that her son became famous at the dinner party, won the first prize of poetry in one fell swoop, and earned a lot of money, she couldn't help but recited Amitabha several times in succession. Gao Bufan didn't give up until he wrote down the original poem.

Although Gao Bufan has no intention of taking the imperial examination, he must not be illiterate, so reading and writing is still a must.After Gao Bufan traveled to the Sui Dynasty, he started reading and practicing calligraphy at the age of five. There is still a difference between traditional Chinese characters and simplified Chinese characters. Even if you can recognize them, you may not be able to write them, let alone use a brush, so learning is necessary.

Although he didn't work hard on it, after ten years of writing with a brush, Gao Bufan's handwriting is still good enough. He transcribed the two poems "Ask the Moon with Wine" and "Thoughts in a Quiet Night" and handed them to Ming Cui. Then he quickly slipped away, because he noticed that the pretty girl was looking at him with hot eyes, and she couldn't help but always lean on him, and the plump but faint squeeze made his heart itch, and if he continued like this, he felt that he He was about to break his kung fu tonight, but the ghost-faced man in black had told him not to get close to women until he had a small success in kung fu.

Although the pretty maid Ming Cui got Gao Bufan's handwriting, she didn't seem very happy. She stomped her feet in frustration, and asked another maidservant with a bitter face, "Xiaolan, is she ugly?"

Xiao Lan immediately said with righteous indignation: "That's not true, Sister Mingcui is the smartest and most capable maidservant, and she is also the prettiest. Anyone who thinks Sister Mingcui is ugly is blind."

Only then did Ming Cui regain his confidence, and happily rolled up the two scrolls to frame them, and comforted himself: "Young master is still young, and you will be enlightened when you get older."

As for why Gao Bufan could write poems all of a sudden, and why he wrote such good poems, everyone in the whole family was not surprised, and even took it for granted. He probably really regarded Gao Bufan as the reincarnation of Kunpeng. Since he was the reincarnation of the divine bird, then Nature is extraordinary, what's so surprising about being able to write poetry?

Therefore, the ancients were sometimes really simple, especially in terms of ghosts and gods, they were particularly easy to believe, otherwise there would be no such sayings as "Gaozu cut the white snake" and "The mud horse crossed the king of Kang".

…………

After dinner, it was dark, Gao Bufan left the small courtyard, took the moonlight to the place where the knife was practiced in the back mountain, and waited quietly for the arrival of the man in black, but because he was going to the dinner last night, he missed the appointment One night, so he wasn't sure that the Grimace in Black would show up tonight.

Gao Bufan waited silently for half an hour, but the ghost-faced man in black did not appear. He probably would not come again tonight, so he was about to leave, but at this moment, a black shadow appeared behind Gao Bufan like a ghost.

Gao Bufan seemed to be aware of it, turned around and looked, and he saw the man in black standing silently under the shadow of the trees, and he couldn't help but said happily: "Senior, are you here? The junior was away from home last night and left a note at the window." , I wonder if Senior has seen it?"

The ghost face in the night hummed lightly, and asked, "How do you manage to find the old man every time?"

Gao Bufan laughed and said, "It's completely intuition!"

"It seems that your kid's six senses are indeed much more sensitive than ordinary people. Like Zeng Ada, even if the old man breaks his neck behind him, he won't know what happened." The black-clothed grimace said humanely.

Speaking of Zeng Ada, Gao Bufan immediately woke up, he could vaguely feel the circulation of Zeng Ada's blood, so he asked the man in black with a grimace for advice.

After listening to Gao Bufan's narration, the ghost-faced man in black lost his voice: "What? You said you can feel Zeng Ada's blood?"

Gao Bufan nodded and asked suspiciously: "Senior, is there anything wrong with this?"

The ghost-faced man in black stepped in front of Gao Bufan in one step, and when he reached out again, Gao Bufan's right hand vein was already caught by him.Gao Bufan was horrified, the opponent's movement was so fast that he lost his temper, even if he didn't have time to react at all, and he couldn't feel the blood of the grimacing man in black at all.

However, the horror in the black-clothed grimacing man's heart was no less frightening than Gao Bufan's at the moment, so that he didn't let go of his hand for a long time, and the eyes behind the grimacing mask stared at Gao Bufan without blinking, as if he had seen a ghost. Normally, he was really shocked by Gao Bufan's speed of progress, it's only been two days, monstrous!

Gao Bufan was stared at a little nervously, thinking that something was wrong, he asked weakly: "Senior, what's wrong?"

The ghost-faced man in black let go of his hand, and his surface regained his composure. He said indifferently: "There is nothing wrong with it, very good. The old man will teach you the second half of the exercises tonight, and you can continue to practice."

"Senior's exercise is so miraculous. This junior only practiced it for two days, and the effect is so remarkable. Was it the same when senior practiced back then?" Gao Bufan tentatively asked.

The corner of the grimace in black's mouth twitched, and he hummed noncommittally!
