Chapter 663 A talented man from a humble family, a nobleman from a noble family

Xu Zongjia didn't care how Xu Fengnian teased the scholar. He knew that Xu Fengnian did this because he felt that the scholar was a useful talent, and on the other hand, he wanted to disrupt today's debate, so Xu Zongjia just watched with cold eyes and refused to pay attention.

Sure enough, Xu Fengnian asked after teasing the poor scholar.

"Do you want to participate in the debate between kings and hegemons in Baoguo Temple today? As long as you can win the debate, you will be a blockbuster and famous all over the world!"

The scholar squeezed the moisture from his clothes, shook his head, and laughed at himself.

"I was lucky enough to participate once, but I was kicked out without saying a few words. I don't know whether I lost or won. I guess I lost. I'm afraid the Yuan family's children who debated with me will be recorded as the winner, right? "

Xu Fengnian was slightly surprised and asked curiously.

"How did you get in? The Jiangnan nobles actually allowed a person from a humble family like you to enter the debate?"

The scholar was not angry at all. Scholars from Jiangnan valued their family status higher than the sky, so naturally they would not let a humble person like him enter.

"You are right, but there was a noble person who helped me last time, so I am honored to participate!"

Xu Fengnian did not delve into who the noble scholar was, but explained.

"My surname is Xu, my name is Dianxia, ​​the classic Dian, the box of the sword box. I am going to participate in this debate between kings and hegemons today. However, I am ignorant and incompetent, so I need someone to support the scene for me, so that I will not be in such an occasion. It’s embarrassing, would you like to sit with me?”

The scholar glanced at Xu Fengnian in surprise to see if he was making fun of himself. Seeing the seriousness on Xu Fengnian's face, he couldn't help but reply.

"The code is silent in the box. The young master is so gracious, and I naturally understand it. But the young master is sitting with me. Aren't you afraid of being laughed at by scholars and celebrities?"

The scholar understood that Xu Fengnian had used a fake name to provide himself with an opportunity to make a splash, so he was naturally grateful.

Xu Fengnian glanced at the scholar with a strange expression. He was already the most notorious person in Jiangnan Dao, and he was afraid that others would laugh at him.

"I don't know your name?"

The poor scholar didn't hesitate, he bowed his hands generously and replied.

"Your Excellency, Chen Xiliang, is an unknown person. You should have never heard of me!"

A hint of understanding flashed in Xu Zongjia's eyes, he took two steps forward and said loudly.

"It turns out to be Mr. Chen, whose name I have admired for a long time!"

Xu Fengnian looked sideways and asked in confusion.

"You know him?"

Xu Zongjia explained.

"There is a volume of "Cheng Liu Shi Shu" by Yangzhou in your father's study. It has profound insights into how to consolidate border defense and solve the financial shortage. It is a rare memorial. It's a pity that Xu Gong doesn't know the stuff!"

Xu Gong, the general of Longxiang, was the mainstay of the Xu family. He presided over the military affairs of the three states in Jiangnan Province. He had the attitude of a small vassal king. He made many drastic reforms and rectified the administration. He received mixed praises and praises. Even Xu Xiao was not fond of him. The reviews are not low, but now Xu Zongjia says he is ignorant. This shows how amazing "Cheng Liu Shi Shu" is.

Xu Fengnian looked at Chen Xiliang with admiration. He had also read this volume "Cheng Liu Shi Shu", but he didn't expect that it was written by the poor scholar in front of him. Could it be that he was a great talent in governing the country, coming from a poor family, but with a very high profile? It's so tall, it's amazing.

Xu Fengnian became more and more friendly to Chen Xiliang and wanted to take him into Baoguo Temple to participate in the debate.

Chen Xiliang glanced at his wet clothes and felt a little embarrassed. He was disheveled and it would be inappropriate to participate in this debate.

Seeing that he was in trouble, Xu Zongjia waved his hand and threw out a burst of zhenqi. Before Chen Xiliang could react, his clothes had been evaporated. During the whole process, he did not feel the slightest heat, which made him look at Xu Zongjia frequently.

Li Chungang also nodded frequently. Xu Zongjia's use of Qi is extremely exquisite. There are only a few people in the world who can do it. Wang Xianzhi, Cao Changqing, Tuoba Bodhisattva, and Li Dangxin at most, of course there must be something hidden. Experts can also do it, but most of them are old antiques.

The group of people walked to the temple gate, and the two novice monks performed eleven rites. Although they did not know the identity of Xu Fengnian, they saw that Xu Zhihu had entered the temple with them to taste vegetarian food, so they naturally did not dare to stop them.

It turned out that there was a little beggar with a sallow complexion under the tree root. When she saw Xu Zongjia and his party finally leaving, she cautiously walked to the edge of the pool. Just now, everyone was resting there, but she did not dare to get close. Only when everyone started to leave did she dare to move towards the edge of the pool tentatively. He walked closer, looking up at the movements of everyone as he walked, like a frightened bird.

The ragged little girl rolled up her trouser legs, revealing her thin and fleshless calves. She slowly stepped into the pool, put her calloused hands into the pool, and picked up a few coins. I was not greedy, I just picked up about three or four pieces, and put them carefully into my pocket with a look of joy on my face. After doing this, I also knew how to be grateful. I clasped my hands together and muttered words, constantly thanking the Buddha and Bodhisattvas.

A group of young men from aristocratic families in Yangzhou were bustling to rest by the pool. They were dressed in luxurious clothes, talking loudly, full of high spirits, and their expressions were full of pride.

When he saw the little girl in the pool, he immediately frowned and felt unhappy. Such a dirty thing dared to come close to this place, and he shamelessly picked up the wishing money from the pool.

A beautiful young lady immediately picked up an extremely smooth stone the size of a goose egg in the pond and threw it towards the little beggar, hitting her in the chest.

When the others saw this, they also laughed and followed suit, picking up the stones in the pool and preparing to throw them at the little girl.

The little girl was so scared that she trembled and hurriedly dodged to the side. She was walking in a hurry and accidentally fell directly into the pool water, causing a huge splash and causing everyone around the pool to laugh.

Xu Zongjia, who had already stepped into Baoguo Temple, frowned, suddenly changed color, stopped, turned his head suddenly, and a depressing momentum gradually rose around him, and the world was eclipsed, as if the world was about to close again and return to chaos, the momentum suppressed. Li Chungang's expression changed drastically and he stepped back, looking at Xu Zongjia, wondering why he was so angry.

Xu Fengnian also felt a little out of breath, and Ning Emei and others were even more unbearable. Their foreheads were covered with cold sweat and their faces were pale. On the contrary, the others, who had no cultivation, were completely unaware.

The daughter of the noble family who threw the stones at first cursed while wearing heavy makeup.

"A little bitch like you actually dares to come here to pick up wishing money. I must teach you a lesson today!"

When Chen Xiliang heard the little beggar's voice, his expression changed drastically. He had already taken half of Baoguo Temple, but he suddenly stopped, turned around and looked back.

At this time, this group of noble sons and daughters had already surrounded the pool. The little beggar had nowhere to escape. He just stood there with trembling hands and folded his shoulders, and defended in a low voice with red eyes.

"The masters in the temple said that I only pick up a few pieces at a time, so I dare to pick them up!"
