MTL - Estranged-Chapter 52 Is it too late for her to see the blood sect now?

The Changming Society accepted Song Nanyan as a disciple because of an interesting accident.

Back then when he had just rebelled against the Demon Sect, he felt that there was something in Confucianism that he could use for himself, so he found a small county town to settle down, and even found a Confucianist teacher to teach him, just like those children enlightened, learning Confucianism from scratch He even passed the local examination and selection, and became the deputy of the local county magistrate, responsible for handling documents and assisting the county magistrate.

Naturally, Chang Ming also used some means during this, for example, by bribing the prefect's wife, he got acquainted with the prefect and let him appreciate and recommend him.

At that time, the world was not divided into three parts, the Hong family was in power, and officials were selected through both examination and election. There was a lot of room for maneuvering. Many people used their family wealth to pass the election qualification even if their performance in the examination was mediocre. Get an official position, and then go up to the official position step by step.

Although he usually does his own thing, but if he wants to achieve a certain goal, he can't temporarily bow his head and do what he likes. Naturally, he is deeply loved by Shangguan. Soon Shangguan got a chance to be promoted, so he replaced Shangguan and became the local parent official. .

According to the Confucian point of view, it is better to be born than to enter the world. Only when you are in the temple can you apply what you have learned. The Confucian classics are broad and profound. Find the true meaning of Confucianism in trivial matters.

In the past two years, he has searched almost all the Confucian classics, and sent people to search for orphaned and fragmented copies, as well as works of sages who are rarely handed down to the world. Rumor has it that many Confucian scholars came to ask him for advice, and when they mentioned him, they were full of praise. Chang Ming's reputation even spread to Liuyi Academy. Changming naturally declined, but he also wrote a letter, expressing his gratitude to Qiu Daru for his blue eyes, but he had no time for government affairs, and his knowledge was not good, and he wanted to go to Liuyi Academy to ask for advice after his term of office was over. .

At his level of cultivation, it is very easy to hide his identity incognito. Changming has been the magistrate of the county for two years. No one would have expected that a small county town with a small population would be a well-known monk. A grand master who frightens the enemy.

At that time, Song Nanyan was an ordinary boy from a poor family in the county. His mother died early, and his father married his stepmother. In order to have less mouth to eat, he was kicked out by his stepmother. One meal, no hope, like thousands of poor people, maybe not even able to marry a daughter-in-law, will die in a plague or flood, or be forced to work as a coolie for a living, and die in poverty.

Different from others, Song Nanyan is very smart. He found out that Changming loves to grow flowers, and the gentry and landowners in the county also followed suit, so he made some flowers and sold them every day where Changming passed by. Note that he managed to get a job in the county government by virtue of his quick responses and answers. He also tried every means to listen in on lectures given by famous scholars to Chang Ming, and he even wrote down every word the other said and recited them back and forth.

Chang Ming saw ambition in Song Nanyan's eyes.

It is not a bad thing for a person to have ambition, it can motivate people to forge ahead and make people work hard to achieve their goals. If a monk has no ambition and just muddle along every day, I am afraid that even those with extraordinary talents will not help him.

Song Nanyan is not only ambitious, but also talented.

He has a photographic memory, and he can draw inferences from one instance to another in cultivation, his comprehension is not inferior to that of Yun Weisi, but his heart is not in cultivation.

He doesn't want to pursue the illusory way of immortality, he wants to be an official, he wants to grasp the power of the world, so that people will never dare to bully him again.

Chang Ming accepted this disciple.

Song Nanyan also knew that it was a great fortune to be able to worship the county magistrate as his teacher in the past with his own identity. He studied hard, worked hard, and immersed himself in the sea of ​​books almost every day.

His energy is limited, and his ambition is not here. Apart from Confucianism, he only learned some superficial aspects of Taoist cultivation from Changming, mainly for the sake of keeping his body light and healthy, and maintaining a vigorous spirit.

After several years passed, Song Nanyan was successful in his studies. His essay was recommended by Chang Ming and he was admitted to Liuyi Academy. He bid farewell to his mentor and embarked on the road to Liuyi Academy.

Liuyi Academy is the highest institution of Confucianism in the world. Its status is like that of Qingyun Temple to Buddhism. It is the dream of Confucian students to get the stepping stone of Liuyi Academy.

It is impossible for Song Nanyan not to be moved.

That was the last meeting between him and Master Changming.

Until the parting, Song Nanyan didn't know how capable this gentleman is. After all, it is impossible for those monks and masters who are as superb as gods to become officials in the secular world. Song Nanyan is very grateful to this mentor, But it is impossible for him to serve his mentor all his life, and he will not move forward. His ambition is destined to continue on the secular road.

In Liuyi Academy, Qiu Bingkun, a great Confucian, liked Song Nanyan's talent and wanted to accept him as a closed disciple. He didn't want to give up this opportunity, so he wrote a letter to explain the situation to Changming. He is the envied disciple of the great Confucianism.

Confucianism does not prohibit students from worshiping multiple teachers, but monks are different. In Changming, it is difficult for Song to worship Qiu Bingkun, which is equivalent to betraying the teacher. At that time, the world was in chaos, and he was tired of his official career for several years. It is hanging the crown and drifting away.

Although he never met Changming again, after Song Nanyan graduated from Liuyi Academy, thanks to the aura and recommendation of Qiu Bingkun's disciples, he rose in his official career step by step. From nothing to powerful, it can be called a legend.

Now that the emperor of Luo Kingdom has not been enthroned for a long time, Song Nanyan is an important minister of the former emperor Tuogu, but in fact he is already above tens of thousands, with a status like a regent, and concubines are naturally far more grand than others.

Everyone in the world said that Song Xiangye was taught by the gods, and he was evergreen, romantic and affectionate.

Having not seen him for many years, Chang Ming's impression of this apprentice is far less profound than that of other apprentices.

Right now, if you want to track down Canghai Yueming, it is obviously more convenient to go directly to Song Nanyan than to go to the bald donkey in Qingyun Temple with a glazed golden bead stick.

However, convenience is relatively speaking. If he calls himself Prime Minister Song’s teacher and wants to come in to ask for a glass of wedding wine, he will probably be treated as a lunatic talking nonsense by his disciples. .

Thinking of this, he looked at Xu Jingxian, and said amiably: "You dreamed back at midnight, have you ever thought about how it feels like to get married and have children like an ordinary family?"

Xu Jingxian: ...

Is it too late for her to see the blood sect now?

…

Song Nanyan has never married a wife, but has many concubines.

He never denied that he loves beauty, food and sex, and even monks are not exempt, let alone ordinary people like them.

Moreover, marrying wives and virtuous men, accepting concubines and seductive women, every one of his concubines, without exception, is a famous beauty, there are brothel courtesans, and Xiaojiabiyu, he does not value quantity, does not pursue as many as stars, plus There are only five or six new recruits today.

Among the rich and powerful, this is not considered extravagant.

Recently, a popular joke in the wells of the capital is that he abandoned the princess's admiration, rejected the emperor's marriage offer, and chose to take a Huansha girl as his concubine.

This kind of story is undoubtedly what the common people love to hear the most after dinner. Countless people flocked to the gate of Xiangfu, wanting to see the true face of the bride with greater enthusiasm than looking after Princess Zhaoyue. They don't care about the twists and turns and the truth. In many people's eyes, being able to give up the princess for the Huansha girl shows that the woman's beauty has far surpassed the princess.

But they were still disappointed.

The sedan chair was carried all the way from the outside to the entrance of the Prime Minister's Mansion. The bride entered the mansion with the support of Xi Po and the maid. The hijab was tightly covered from the beginning to the end. The sky is not good, and a gust of wind will not come to lift the hijab .

However, the bride has a hijab, but the maid beside her does not. She is dressed in bright pink clothes, and she is already a rare beauty in the world. If the maid is so beautiful, the master must be even more beautiful.

The prime minister's mansion was very generous, and the money was scattered in handfuls, and people flocked to pick it up before it was too late, so they forgot about the bride's appearance.

Taking a concubine is much simpler than marrying a wife. It does not require so many complicated ceremonies, and there is no high hall to worship. The bride is directly sent to the bridal chamber.

Song Nanyan drank a few glasses of wine in front of him, his face was slightly drunk, but he was still sober.

After all, with his current status, not many people would dare to drink in person.

The emperor also sent someone to send congratulatory gifts, breaking the rumor that Long Yan was unhappy because Prime Minister Song refused the princess.

Facing everyone's flattery and flattery as usual, Song Nanyan laughed it off, and after dealing with it for half an hour, he got up and walked to the new courtyard.

He saw this concubine of Xinna at the riverside. At the beginning of the morning, the woman leaned against the stream to wash her gauze, and her dress was half-wet. It really added a lot of beauty, but it would be an exaggeration to say that she is more beautiful than the princess. Everyone knows that Shang Yumei is a rare beauty, but Song Nanyan doesn't want to marry a big Buddha to worship at home.

He already has power in the government and the public, and adding a princess wife, instead of being helpful, has become a burden.

The door was ajar, and opened with a push.

The maid stood at the door, saluted him, and said with a smile: "Congratulations, Mr. Xiang, congratulations, Mr. Xiang, please!"

Song Nanyan hummed, then stopped suddenly, took a few steps back, and looked at her carefully.

"You are Tong Niang's dowry? Why have I never seen it before?"

Xu Jingxian blinked: "I want Master Xiang to know that Nu is a new maid in the mansion. Previously, the steward sent a slave to serve Miss Tong, and then returned to the mansion with Miss Tong. From now on, she will still serve in the mansion."

Song Nanyan wanted to say something more, but the other party said again: "The housekeeper has an order. Once the Prime Minister comes, the slave will go outside and watch. Don't disturb you and Miss Tong. If the Prime Minister has orders, then call the slave."

After finishing speaking, he bowed his head and left without waiting for his response.

Song Nanyan thought that she was her own person anyway, and it would be the same when she wanted to be with her again, so she stopped calling her and walked into the new house.

In the room, red candles are shining brightly, and the word "Happy" reflects the light.

The bride was sitting on the edge of the bed with her hands tied, her head slightly lowered, as if she was infinitely shy, waiting for her husband to reveal her details.

Song Nanyan smiled, and stretched out Xicheng who had uncovered the hijab.
