Chapter 23 The Emperor Wenchang

Cao Yi is the same as Zhuge Wolong and Li Fengnian. He has five-colored lights on his head, but his five-colored lights are not only much lighter than these two people, but also floats on the clouds. It seems that he is not his natural literary spirit or his acquired hard study. Why is this?

It’s still important for Cao’s affairs now. Cui Yunming recorded the matter first and continued to stare at Cao’s family. He watched her take the silver given by Xing'er and went out happily.

Although Cao's family is just a woman, there are many black patches in the clouds above their heads, which are more than Zhou Chunfu. If you look closely, these are all the evil consequences caused by talking about right and wrong.

After leaving the yard, Cao saw several women doing needlework while basking in the sun in the yard next door, so he hurried over and talked about Xia Chu'er's affairs.

"I really can't tell it. The Xia family was originally a well-educated family. Xia Chu'er was also a lady from "Women's Training". How could she do something to steal people!" She spitted and danced with eyebrows, obviously enjoying this feeling.

"Sister-in-law of the Cao family, I have heard you talk for so many days but I haven't seen any real evidence. Moreover, Miss Xia has never gone out much and has had a engagement with Brother An, how can she do such a thing?" Someone couldn't see it and refuted it.

"Yes, I heard that Miss Xia's family has not eaten or drunk all day long, and she cried. If this continues, it may be a life! Alas, it's such a sin!" Although the other woman did not say it directly, she was also very dissatisfied with the Cao family's riots.

Cao was not happy now. He raised his eyebrows and cursed, "Whoever is the surname Wang, what do you mean? What I said is fake? Is it because you distinguished Xia Chu'er like this? Isn't it because you have taken her benefits?"

It was obvious that she had taken Mrs. An's money, but now she turned the tables. Everyone retorted indignantly. Cao's family became more and more vigorous. With their sharp teeth and sharp mouths, they still fought alone for several women without any disadvantage.

At the end, Cao said fiercely, "Be honest and don't fight with me. I am the mother of a high-ranking official in the future. If you bully me, let's see how my son dealt with you after becoming an official!"

When everyone thought that Cao Yi was the first in the school exam in the past two years, even the county teachers praised him for being able to pass the imperial examination, they were silent and did not dare to say much at the moment, for fear that Cao Yi would pass the imperial examination and become a high-ranking official, Cao would really come to take revenge on him.

Then Cao smiled proudly, left, and went to another place to spread the right and wrong and talked bad things about Xia Chu'er. All the women sighed.

"Hey, this Cao family is irrelevant and messed around all day long. I don't know how many people he has harmed? The butcher Wang divorced his wife a few years ago."

"The woman committed suicide by jumping into a well before she could return to her parents' home. This is a living life! We are all familiar with the Wang family and are always virtuous, so how can we not be filial to our parents-in-law?"

"There is also the shopkeeper Xu from the pharmacy. Last time, a merchant came to him to purchase goods. The transaction of hundreds of taels of silver was finally ruined because of Cao's gossip. He was so angry that Manager Xu had been ill for a long time!"

"Hey, I don't know how many families the Cao family has harmed over the years! That's the case now. How can it be if Cao Yi becomes a high-ranking official in the future?"

But some people were puzzled, "Although Cao Yi worked hard in the past, he couldn't learn. Every time his husband talked about it, he shook his head. Why did he suddenly get enlightened two years ago?"

Cui Yunming felt a little moved when he heard this. The literary spirit above Cao Yi's head was a little unusual. Did something happen two years ago?

After going out, he saw Cao going to another yard, while Cao Yi walked out of the town, which made Cui Yunming even more curious. Isn’t the school in the town? Why did he go outside?

He had just seen the evil deeds of Cao, and knew that Xia Chu'er's affairs were fabricated by Cao, and he learned from everyone that it was not the first time Cao did this. No wonder there were so many black patches on his head, even if he was struck by lightning, he deserved it.

However, the literary spirit above Cao Yi's head made him feel strange. He could not make a decision before he found out. He quickly went to the Xia family to take a look. He saw that although Xia Chu'er was haggard, she could still hold on for a while. It was probably the result of An Tianyu's persuasion, so there was no need to worry.

Then, let’s follow Cao Yi and take a look! Cui Yunming followed him over and watched Cao Yi reach the outside of the town and climb up a hill.

There is a dilapidated temple on the mountain, with weeds growing in it, and a poplar tree in the courtyard is very lush. In the small house in the middle is a statue of a god with lacquer powder falling and mottled all over it.

After Cao Yi went in, he cleaned up the weeds first, then took out two boiled eggs from his arms and offered them to the statue of the gods. He prayed silently for a few words and left.

Cui Yunming looked closer and saw the four words "Wenchang Emperor" engraved on the statue. He suddenly realized that no wonder Cao Yi suddenly opened his mind. It turned out that it was because of the blessing of Emperor Wenchang.

After seeing it, I wanted to leave, but I saw the statue of the god suddenly emitted a faint golden light. A figure emerged from the statue and saluted Cui Yunming, "Wenchang has seen Mr. Cui. Mr. Cui came to the small temple today, and it is really shining!"

"I dare not, I have met Emperor Wenchang!" Cui Yunming quickly returned the gift, but the Emperor Wenchang turned slightly and refused to accept his full gift.

This made Cui Yunming even more confused. The full title of Emperor Wenchang is "The Lord of the Nine Heavens Dingyuan Baosheng and the Education and Kaihua, Changle Yongyou Lingying Emperor". He is in charge of the fame and fortune of scholars. His status in the heaven is similar to that of the Nine Heavens Yingyuan Leisheng Puhua Heavenly Lord worshipped by his own Thunder God Temple. Why did he pay tribute first when he saw me a small temple?

"Mr. Cui, aren't you here for Cao Yi?" Emperor Wenchang did not explain too much, but talked about Cao Yi.

"A few years ago, the imperial court issued an order to ban the world's lewd sacrifices. My small temple was in trouble. Not only did no one worship incense anymore, but even this body was pushed down!" Emperor Wenchang said, pointing to the statue of the god.

"After several years, Cao Yi accidentally entered this place while traveling on the mountain and helped me up. Since then, he has burned incense and worshipped him every day. After receiving his favor, he should naturally repay him, so he gave him some literary spirit. As long as this matter is not known to outsiders, he can successfully achieve fame and fortune!"

"Uh, since that's the case, why did the Emperor tell me?" I got it. Will it affect Cao Yi's literary spirit?

"Sir is not an ordinary person, so it's okay to hear it!" Emperor Wenchang replied respectfully.
