Awaken Chapter 30

The brothers Yang Bao and Yang Hu admire Xu Qingnian.

The reason for this is simple.

Since the ancient times, when the officials were handling the case, they were privileged to do so, and if they ate and drank a little, even if they smashed something, the shopkeepers would not say anything.

It is also a kind of protection money.

Unless the damage is serious, where else would the officials give the people silver?

Xu Qingnian’s words are, on the one hand, of noble character and, on the other hand, a warning to the two.

It is also the new dynasty has been established, various changes and reforms to suppress the officials, small things are not done well, perhaps the next day will be because of such small things bad luck.

The most important thing, of course, is character.

Sure enough, people who have read books are different.

The carriage continued to travel at an even speed, Yang Bao and Yang Hu were joking and laughing on the surface, but secretly they were vigilantly surveying their surroundings, and if there was any sudden situation, the two would just draw their swords.

Inside the car, Xu Qingnian was also on guard.

No one could guarantee that there would be any danger, and if there was, it would be a vicious battle.

The good thing was that the journey was uneventful.

It was close to three hours.

The carriage finally arrived outside the Southern Yufu.

Unlike before, the official road was becoming more and more crowded, with carriages travelling, merchants, peddlers, scholars, all sorts of people.

Inside the carriage.

Xu Qingnian lifted the curtain, his eyes gazing at the ancient city ahead.

The ancient city was greenish-grey in colour, and the swords were not visible to Xu Qingnian, who could not see them from hundreds of metres away, but the repair marks were obvious.

It was caused by siege weapons, fire and stone type of impact scars, even after repair can not be hidden.

“Elder brother Qingnian, South Yu Palace is here, take a look, is it imposing?”

Yang Bao pointed at the South Yu Mansion and laughed loudly, those who didn’t know would think that the South Yu Mansion was his home.

“Magnificent.”

Xu Qingnian nodded against his will, although the ancient architecture is full of wisdom, but after seeing the modern steel building, Xu Qingnian really can’t be grand, unless there are all kinds of special effects, such as what the holy light ah, dragon shadow and so on.

Otherwise, Xu Qingnian really does not agree.

“The most important thing is that it is the most magnificent ancient house in Changping County, which has been built through the ten dynasties of the Great Wei.

“And it is something inside that Changping County would not even have.”

Looking at the Nan Yu Mansion, Yang Bao was confident.

“Something that even Changping County doesn’t have? What is it?”

Xu Qingnian was curious.

What was the county capital? In modern terms, it was the capital of the province, and provincial capitals were basically the most developed cities where everything took precedence.

How could they not make Xu Qingnian curious.

“Wenwu Building.”

Yang Bao said confidently.

“Wenwu Building?”

Xu Qingnian had thought it was some kind of hookah spring building, but she hadn’t expected it to be the Wenwu Building.

What was this?

Xu Qingnian did come to be intrigued.

“Brother Pao, what is the Wen Wu Lou?”

Xu Qingnian said curiously.

“Older brother Qingnian is ignorant of this.”

“This Wenwu House is a unique place in South Yu Province. The so-called Wenwu House is where you scholars go, and the girls in it are all beautiful and talented, but they need to meet each other to have fun, which is troublesome.”

“This martial arts building is much simpler, not so much trouble, five hundred and eighty-eight coins for a quickie, upwards there are eight hundred and eighty-eight, one thousand two hundred and eighty-eight, the most expensive is only three thousand eight hundred and eighty-eight.”

“Where the girls, although not as good as the clean heralds in the Wen Lou, but better than the martial arts skills, make people want to stop, old brother I do not have much silver, but if brother does not mind, treat you to enjoy the most expensive, how about it?”

Yang Bao looked excited when he said this, and Yang Hu at the side was also in high spirits.

And Xu Qingnian was confused.

Kam, wasn’t this still a hooker?

Thought it was something else, nothing more than a vegetarian and a meat court.

Some brain broad pain, Xu Qingnian is not pretending to be noble, nor is it that bad female S*x, mainly because it loves cleanliness.

It’s not that I don’t like the people in this industry, I’m afraid of catching some bad disease, there’s no stopping the genie in ancient times, what if I get hit?

Uh, no, yeah, there were no stopping elves in ancient times, could you make them yourself? And then earn silver?

A bold idea emerged.

Only Chen Xinghe’s cough rang out.

“Ahem.”

“I thank the two of you for your kindness, I thank you for Qingnian, but this time I have come mainly for the government test, I must not be distracted.”

Chen Xinghe spoke out, he was a decent man, he did not drink flowery wine nor did he look at such things, when he heard that the two wanted to take Xu Qingnian to have some quick fun, he naturally spoke out to stop them, worried that Xu Qingnian would be too happy and fall into a place of tenderness.

“Thanks to the kindness of the two old brothers, this is fine, if it’s for a drink it’s still fine.”

Compared to Chen Xinghe’s ungrounded refusal, Xu Qingnian was much more euphemistic, and the two men smiled sarcastically and went along with Xu Qingnian’s step.

“En-uh, that’s fine, let’s drink together later.”

“Also, if you encounter anything in South Yufu, brother Qingnian must look for our brothers, other than that, at least after so many years in South Yufu, we still have some contacts.”

“The truth is, the way you behaved just now, you are really suitable to be a constable, if you come to our South Yufu, you will be a constable in three to five years.”

“It’s a pity that he went to study.”

Yang Bao said from the bottom of his heart.

Xu Qingnian’s reflexes and behaviour were so sophisticated and rounded that he did not look like a young man in his early twenties.

“Haha, there’s a chance, maybe I didn’t pa*s the government exams, or I’ll come back as an officer, if I really come to South Yufu, the two brothers should take good care of me.”

These words of Xu Qingnian were not a joke.

The fundamental reason for studying was to suppress the demonic nature in her body, she didn’t really want to study at all.

Even if one did study well, one’s future fate would ultimately be one of two things.

To become a powerful person, to be above all others.

If you fail to stand in line, you will be stripped of your official position and divided into five horses.

Politics is no joke, after all, you are dealing with the smartest group of people in the past and present, not a single fool.

So don’t think too much about being an official, but there’s nothing wrong with being an errand boy, after all, you’re the emperor’s faithful wage earner.

I’ve heard of chancellors revolting, but have I ever heard of a government official revolting?

Even if the rebellion does go as far as that, if you win, you will be a subordinate to the emperor.

If they lost, the leader would usually say, “Spare my men, they are innocent, I surrender.

Basically, the emperor would also agree, for one thing, to be benevolent and righteous, and for another, they were all his own people, so killing one was one less.

But these were all just Xu Qingnian’s blind thoughts.

“That’s a good feeling, if you come, Yang Hu and I will follow you.”

Yang Bao said seriously.

Xu Qingnian also followed and smiled, it didn’t matter if it was polite or not, anyway, people are polite, you just follow them.

Two quarters of an hour later.

The carriage arrived at the bottom of South Yufu City.

The thick city walls represent the financial strength of the previous dynasties of the Great Wei and the suffering of countless people.

Since ancient times, the people have suffered from the rise and fall.

Without emotion or poetry, Xu Qingnian dismounted honestly and followed the Yang Bao and Yang Hu brothers as they reviewed the crossing.

After taking out the peace road guide, it was considered proof of identity, and with Yang Bao and Yang Hu around, the clearance went smoothly.

As they walked into the city, Yang Bao and Xu Qingnian walked side by side.

“Qingnian, don’t go out lately, just now the city defence brothers told me that there are indeed traces of demons outside the Nan Yu Mansion, the Mansion is in a mess now, and it is said that there may be a curfew in a few days, if you have to go out for anything, you have to tell me about it.”

“Lest anything goes wrong, don’t doubt it, before I was ordered to keep an eye on you, now it’s a brother saying something sincere, old brother I read people well, you’re a good man, Lord Cheng has looked away.”

These few days of travel had made the two brothers, Yang Bao and Yang Hu, feel twice as good about Xu Qingnian, so these words were from the bottom of their hearts.

“Understood, old brother.”

Xu Qingnian could hear that the other party was speaking from the bottom of his heart, so he smiled and nodded his head in agreement.

A little more than half an hour.

Yang Bao and his brothers brought Xu Qingnian to a restaurant.

The two brothers paid for the two rooms, and no matter what Xu Qingnian said, they refused to take them back, leaving Xu Qingnian at a loss as to what to say.

Xu Qingnian’s friendship-building tactics made Chen Xinghe on the side a little envious.

He was cold in nature and was reluctant to communicate with people about anything. He had some close friends, but they were all scholars and could not be as versatile as Xu Qingnian.

“Brother Qingnian, we two brothers will go over first, just look for us at the government office if you need anything.”

After opening the upper room, the two of them instructed the shopkeeper about some things and then said goodbye and left.

Xu Qingnian personally escorted the two out of the inn, attracting many people’s attention.

After they left, Xu Qingnian and Chen Xinghe planned to go back to their rooms to rest.

But at that moment.

A voice suddenly rang out.

“Chen Xinghe! Brother Chen!”

The voice was not loud, but Xu Qingnian could hear it very clearly.

Turning back to look, it was a clean-cut man, dressed in white, walking towards Chen Xinghe, with a smile on his face.

“Brother Wang Ru.”

Chen Xinghe was slightly surprised, but still immediately returned the salute, while looking at Xu Qingnian and said.

“Qingnian, this is Wang Ru, a friend of my brother.”

Chen Xinghe introduced for Xu Qingnian.

“Greetings brother Wang Ru, my name is Xu Qingnian, the word Shouren.”

Xu Qingnian also immediately returned the salute.

“Greetings, brother Qingnian.”

Wang Ru swept a glance at Xu Qingnian, then also returned the salute, while looking curiously at Chen Xinghe.

“Brother Wang Ru, Qingnian is my senior brother, we both come from the same division.”

Chen Xinghe explained, and the latter suddenly understood, and then bowed lightly towards Xu Qingnian again.

Xu Qingnian also immediately returned the salute.

This is the tedious point of the literati, you returned the salute, I must return, back back back, tired half dead.

It’s not as clean and crisp as a martial artist.

 

The actual fact is that you’ll be able to get a lot more than just a few of these.

It’s so direct, it’s respectful, it’s not rude, and it’s easy to understand.

“Brother Chen, we really are destined to meet.”

“It’s a coincidence that you’re here. Tonight, Brother Li Xin is hosting a banquet for talented students from all over the world.

Wang Ru first lamented the fate, and then dragged Chen Xinghe to the evening feast.

“Li Xin Gongzi?”

“OK, when?”

Chen Xinghe read out, followed by asking when.

“It starts at a quarter past ten, there are still more than two hours to go, and I heard that a big shot has come.”

“Brother Chen, take a rest first, my humble brother has some errands to run, I’ll come to you at two minutes past the hour of Shen, we’ll have a good chat then.”

Wang Ru seemed to be in a hurry, so he spoke very quickly and left straight after he finished.

He really came and went in a hurry.

Seeing this scene, Chen Xinghe did not know what to say.

“Qingnian, take a rest first, and go to the feast together tonight.”

Chen Xinghe spoke.

“En, but senior brother, if it is not too convenient to bring me, senior brother can rest and rest alone.”

Xu Qingnian didn’t know who Li Xin was, but it looked like he had some connections, plus Xu Qingnian also knew that the literati despised each other and the circle despised each other, in case he got into any trouble by going over there, he might as well not go.

“No harm, no need to worry, senior brother has some fame in South Yufu, nothing inconvenient, even Duke Li Xin has to be courteous to senior brother.”

“Oh, by the way, Duke Li Xin is the son of the South Yu prefect, he has a good character and likes to make friends widely, he will be happy if you go instead.”

Chen Xinghe spoke blandly, especially the phrase ‘some fame’, which was a little more clear and proud when said.

En, there was being pretended to.
