Li Kui pried off Qin Wenguang's fingers, pushed him a little distance, and said disgustedly: "You already have a wrinkled face. Can you please save some shame by calling me brother?"

"Why do you need face to meet Bachelor Su? Let alone brother, even uncle can be called uncle."

Qin Wenguang has been fond of writing and writing all his life, but due to his limited talent, he neither had the luck to pass high school nor learn from Linhe's reputation. He spent his whole life living in ignorance, waiting for death, and squandering the family fortune accumulated by his ancestors.

This time he went to Bianliang and met many senior scholars, which made him linger in the cultural gatherings of students in the capital and couldn't extricate himself.

Of course, at his level, you can guess with your toes who is on par with him.

They are either failed scholars or mediocre people who wasted their years in Taixue.

Really talented scribes would look down upon the rigid scholars from a small place like him, and he had not seen any of the academic seniors with amazing reputations in the capital city.

Huang Tingjian is writing history.

Bachelor Su also served as an official in the capital.

It's a pity that these two people are not something that a scumbag like him who can't even get into Imperial College can see. Qin Wenguang is not qualified to participate in Huang Tingjian and Su Che's literary meeting. Even the famous celebrities he admires can hardly attend.

Opportunity to attend top cultural events in Beijing.

As for the Dasu Bachelor, this was the benchmark for scholars and a wonderful flower among the scholars of the Song Dynasty.

If he could see her in this life, Qin Wenguang would be willing to die.

Liu Baosheng was shaking with anger beside him. Just after beating him, his eldest son-in-law's literary illness relapsed, and it seemed to be getting more and more serious. This made him feel deep despair in his heart. How could this son-in-law still want anything?

?

And Li Kui had a deeper understanding of the son-in-law of the old Liu family. He was not a member of the same family and did not enter the same family.

I'm afraid Cheng Zhijie is not much better than Qin Wenguang.

Perhaps only Han Dahu can be considered a normal person in Li Kui's eyes.

In the end, Li Kui failed to stop Qin Wenguang's thoughts. He was too determined. In order to block Li Kui and prevent him from leaving secretly, he even blocked Li Kui's door and froze for the whole night. In desperation,

I could only go to Yingzhou with this burden.

Starting from Yishui, there is a waterway accessible through the canal and going south to Yingzhou.

It was smooth along the way, but a little slower.

After getting off the dock, Han Dahu asked his housekeeper to hire a few carts and headed toward Yingzhou Prefecture. The official system of the Song Dynasty was very interesting. The governors were divided into Chongzhou, Junzhou and Sanzhou.

, the former has a noble status, at least starting as a fourth-rank official, and there are also third-rank officials who serve as magistrates. Military prefectures follow, and the worst scattered prefectures are not much better than county magistrates.

The Zhizhou is not a permanent official, and all government affairs in the state are within the jurisdiction of Tuiguan. Finance, taxation, treasury, transportation, as long as the Zhizhou is not around, Tuiguan is the highest official of the state. But once the imperial court dispatches the Zhizhou

After that, the miserable officials were unlucky. All their power would be taken away by the magistrate, but they still retained one right, the power to report directly. To put it bluntly, it was to report to the emperor and inform the state of the evil situation. Ying

Yizhou is a relatively large state among scattered states, much stronger than Yizhou.

The oxcart pulled goods and moved slowly on the streets of Yingzhou. Li Kui looked at the street from time to time and felt something was wrong.

So I asked the driver, "Uncle, why are there so few people on the ground in Yingzhou?"

"Is this guy a foreigner?" The handlebar didn't even turn his head. He held up the long whip in his hand and just swung it back and forth over the cow's back. It gave people a feeling that he was reluctant to beat the cow, but he kept threatening to pull the cart.

The feeling of cow.

Qin Wenguang finally followed. This guy's ability may be the worst among Liu Baosheng's three sons-in-law, but he is determined...

Unable to stand this guy, he resorted to crying, making trouble, and hanging himself. If he was not allowed to come, even Liu Baosheng would have a headache at home. How difficult would it be to guard such a guy?

Qin Wenguang snorted coldly: "We all hired cars from the dock to come to the city. No one can tell that we are foreigners."

Han Dahu secretly pulled Qin Wenguang a few times, and agreed that Li Kui would be the main one on the road, and they were just following to help run errands. Qin Wenguang choked people at every turn, and those who didn't know thought he was the speaker among the three? He was afraid of irritating him.

Li Kui.

Chaozizi was not angry, and said with a smile: "Speaking of the fact that there are not many people in Yingzhou City, I still have to thank the imperial court for appointing a good master of the state to Yingzhou! The literary name of Dasu Bachelor is known to the world, and he is in charge of the place.

We are also thinking very hard. How about discovering that Yingzhou has been hit by floods in recent years and organizing people to dredge the West Lake outside the city?"

"West Lake?" Li Kui was a little confused. Shouldn't this be in Hangzhou?

Fortunately, Handlebar Style is a good talker and answered Li Kui's questions: "I heard that Hangzhou also has a West Lake, and we also have a West Lake in Yingzhou. I don't know which one is bigger between the West Lake in Yingzhou and Hangzhou.

"

The people are like this, they don't judge by the beautiful scenery, but by the size.

Li Kui asked: "The bachelor is not in the government office in the city?"

"It's natural. Ever since Xueshi Su organized people to dredge the river and the West Lake, he has been staying in the thatched cottage on the edge of the West Lake and rarely comes to the city." Handlebar Shih replied with a smile.

It can be seen that the people of Yingzhou have a strong sense of identification with Su Shi and think that Su Shi is a good official.

For a person who is destined to go down in history, this is undoubtedly the best compliment.

Hearing that Su Shi did not live in an official office in the city, but instead lived by the lake outside the city, Li Kui set his sights on Han Dahu and asked: "Brother Han!"

"Go outside the city. It's no use waiting for anyone in the city." Han Dahu naturally understood that Li Kui's move was to give him enough face. As for Qin Wenguang, Li Kui didn't even think about seeing him.

Li Kui immediately agreed: "It's okay, find an inn first, unload the goods, and then go outside the city."

As the eldest Qin Wenguang, he found that Li Kui and Han Dahu were not paying attention to him. He felt that it was difficult to save face, so he forced himself to show off his presence, nodded vigorously and said: "Yes, the bachelor is not in the city, so naturally he has to visit outside the city. Even so.

Even if I can’t see the bachelor, I should go and help and contribute to the people of Yingzhou.”

Li Kui turned his head and said scornfully: "You are asked to dig mud, and you do it too?"

Qin Wenguang showed a sacred expression on his face and said resolutely: "Others can forget about it, but why not do it for Academician Su?"

For a staunch die-hard fan, Li Kui knew that nothing he said would be in vain, so he had no choice but to say to Han Dahu: "It seems that your eldest brother-in-law went to the capital and was deceived into wearing his pants. It's not without reason."

Han Dahu deeply agreed, but he couldn't let Qin Wenguang's face get too embarrassed, so he just responded silently.

After finding a hotel and unloading the goods, the three of them hired a car and left the city.

By this time, it was already afternoon when we reached the place.

The endless lake beach was full of people rushing to do work. Li Kui sent away the ox cart, and the three of them strolled up the lake embankment. It was already February, and spring sowing would begin in a month. The river beach

The construction period is very tight, and I'm afraid it will be difficult to complete on time. Especially after the spring rain comes, the flood season is coming, and dredging can only wait until the dry season in the next winter.

Every citizen who came to the river was assigned work as soon as possible. Li Kui and the three of them looked at Kong Wu as a good material for the work.

As soon as they appeared, they were spotted by the government officials who were setting up corvées on the river beach. They shouted from a distance: "You three, what are you doing so stupidly? Come quickly and move the baskets and go down to the lake to work."

"Brother Li Kui, be patient and don't be impatient! Be patient and don't be impatient!"

Before Li Kui could react, Qin Wenguang grabbed Li Kui's sleeves and almost hugged Li Kui, refusing to let Li Kui go. He also muttered something: "Brother, we have come all the way to let the bachelor see us.

sincerity."

Li Kui shook his arms and said impatiently: "What do you mean?"

He was not angry, and he had no intention of beating anyone.

Besides, he came here to ask someone to do something, and the matter wasn't done yet, so how could he beat him up first?

Even Han Dahu seemed to support Qin Wenguang and persuaded him in a low voice: "Brother, let's take a look and talk about it. What do you think?"

"I didn't want to cause trouble." Li Kui smiled bitterly. Then he saw Qin Wenguang walking towards them with a basket and a pole. He really planned to go to the lake to work. Li Kui glanced at Han Dahu beside him and smiled in his heart. The corner of Han Dahu's mouth

I'm so tired, I'm afraid this guy has no intention of coming to Yingzhou to dig mud.

At the edge of the river beach, Qin Wenguang urged Li Kui and Han Dahu: "Brother, it's our turn to go down!"

"Are you really going to dig in the lake?"

"That's not bad. We admire Academician Su, so why can't we bear the grievance of digging in the lake?"

"Brother Qin, I haven't figured it out yet, why don't you go down to the lake and work on it first, and then I'll help you when I figure it out?"

"That's fine!"

Han Dahu looked at Qin Wenguang who followed the dredging team down to the lake without hesitation, and his mind was full of doubts: "My eldest brother-in-law has always been a man of words but not of hands. He is someone who won't reach out to help a stool when it falls over at home. But why?"

Are you so self-conscious today?"

"This is his pilgrimage, not ours." Li Kui simply lay on the slope of the lake embankment, watching people struggling to fish out mud from the lake, including a clumsy middle-aged greasy student.

Qin Wenguang.

After watching it for a while, I felt it was boring.

Li Kui patted his butt and stood up, saying to Han Dahu: "I'm going to see the bachelor, will you go?"

Han Dahu had an almost instinctive fear of scholars. He shrank his head, pointed at Qin Wenguang who was struggling in the mud and said, "I'd better watch him!"

"That's fine." Li Kunu said, "I'll wait for you at the hut on the shore of the lake.

After saying that, Shi Shiran left, leaving Han Dahu struggling on the shore. He was a kind man. Seeing Qin Wenguang, a fake scholar with no power, working hard, he suddenly felt unbearable.

Li Kui walked along the lake, and soon came to the edge of the thatched shed. There was a row of firewood burning under the large pots, with a trace of green smoke, and there was a fishy smell rolling in the large pots. They were probably fished out of the lake.

The lake fresh food is just a bit poorly maintained. There is a young man sitting next to the desk and taking a nap.

Judging from the other person's appearance, with a bulbous nose, squinty eyes, a long face covered with bumps and bumps, and an uncivilized and nondescript appearance, he definitely wouldn't be Bachelor Su.

The main reason is that the academic style in Li Kui's mind is very different.
