Wanlan felt that her father was a little messy, she smiled slightly, and interjected: "Mr. Xu, what does my father mean ......"

"Oh, I understand, eldest miss," Xu Shinian politely interrupted her, smiled at her, and explained: "This problem cannot be avoided, in the past two thousand years in our country, every dynasty, whether it is prosperous or decaying, is greater than the emperor, and the emperor is greater than the law, and 40,000,000 people are accustomed to obeying the Son of Heaven, but they have never been accustomed to obeying the law, but now the world is already the era of constitutional government. ”

"Actually, it's just a habit of obeying the local officials," Xie Daozhong smiled, and continued to move forward: "Instead of trying to find a way to change the people, it is better to start by changing the local parents and officials, - of course, the eyes of our old bones will only look at the capital, to be exact, at the Chuxiu Palace, after all, our career comes from there, not ......"

His hand pointed downward, causing Xu Shinian to involuntarily look down, seeing that he was stepping on a stone that was exposed beyond the earth, and the soles of his feet were a little slippery because of the moss.

Xu Shinian frowned and rubbed on the ground, kicking the mud ball mixed with dark green color to the side: "Gong Xie......"

Xie Daozhong interrupted him: "Be careful, the mountain road is not easy to walk, the higher it is, the steeper it is." ”

Xu Shinian responded, he seemed to take a breath, and then he spoke: "Xie Gong's words are really enlightening to the younger generations, and they all say that listening to your words is better than reading for ten years, and today I understand what it is like." You are right, the people are only subordinate to the local officials, but the local officials are subordinate to the capital, to the emperor, then if the emperor is replaced with the constitution......"

"You're wrong, save it," Xie Daozhong laughed, "There may be officials who obey the emperor, but that's not all." ”

Xu Shinian frowned: "What do you mean?"

Xie Daozhong kept a smile: "Back then, Emperor Gaozong and Empress Zetian were in the court, but there were no two monarchs in the country, you said, who did the people listen to?"

Xu Shinian was stunned: "What do you mean ......?"

"I didn't mean anything," Xie Daozhong laughed: "It's just that I suddenly thought of the relics of the ancients, and I felt that I wanted to discuss it with you." ”

He led the group around a bend and stepped up a staircase made of stones, and after a moment of conversation, he said, "I should bring Mrs. Zun here today, so that my daughters, who are not out of the gate, can be taught." ”

Xu Shinian had no choice but to follow his words and answer: "Gong Xie is serious, I ...... I don't have a wife yet. ”

"Oh?" Xie Daozhong showed an interested expression and asked, "The young talent of the cunning, it shouldn't be." ”

Xu Shinian didn't seem to want to talk more about this topic, so he only said: "Each has its own fate, and before God gives me the rib that belongs to me, all I can do is to wait patiently." Besides, the ladies of your house are all delicate and talented, so why do you need to be taught by others. ”

Xie Daozhong smiled and didn't say anything more. After all, the other party is just a junior, and excessive humility will only make him appear hypocritical and cheap, and this editor-in-chief Xu is not a great character, maybe just a hot-blooded scholar.

Qingxiao Temple is located in a place hidden by the jungle, and in Xie Daozhong's impression, the people in the Taoist Temple have pruned the surrounding trees well, and the winding paths are quiet, but they are not noisy. Now that the Si people are gone, these trees have naturally grown wildly without any scruples, completely hiding this dilapidated building, making it more like a mysterious place where bewitching women and ghosts live in the legend of the spirits.

"Will there be a baby Ning here!" Wanxian ran over with her skirt feet, her tone couldn't hide the excitement, the three daughters of the Xie family didn't wrap their feet, and her sound feet made her look like a smart deer, compared with the unwarranted Ying Ning, she was more like a little demon who had never been in the world, and she was very curious about the mortal world.

Xie Daozhong smiled, and called her behind: "Be careful, don't stumble, it's all coaxing words, where is there any baby Ning." ”

Wanxian was unhappy, and muttered to herself: "Fang Ling listened, a girl from east to west, holding an apricot flower, bowing her head to her hairpin, raising her head to see life, so she didn't return to the hairpin, and smiled and entered the ......."

Wanlan made fun of her: "Sheng, who is Sheng?" I don't know which young man is so fortunate to get the plum blossom left by Ah Xian?"

This kind of joke, their sisters will joke and joke from time to time, you don't let me and I won't let you, both sides are all sharp-toothed.

However, today it was unusual, Wanxian glanced at Xu Shinian, her face immediately turned red, and she turned around to study the copper lock on the door.

Wanlan was a little surprised, and immediately realized that she had lost her words, in front of outsiders, such a joke was not to be played, she turned her head and glanced at Wan Tian, exchanging a look with each other, and the latter quietly took over the conversation: "Don't say these jokes, wouldn't it be rude if it was Xiaoqian who lived in it." ”

Wanlan said: "Ah Xian hopes that Ying Ning is here, otherwise he will find the flower named 'Xiaohu', and plant it in the house, and the Hehuan will forget the worries and explain the flowers, and they will all be swept out." ”

Xu Shinian is now interested in the three flowery daughters of the Xie family, and there may be many female husbands in the boudoir, but there are few sisters who can easily bring the stories in idle books like "Liao Zhai" in front of their fathers and joke with each other. He glanced at Xie Daozhong, an old bureaucrat in his fifties, who was smiling at his young daughter with his beard stroked, completely lacking the shrewdness and tactfulness of the conversation.

Wanxian stood by the door, a little frustrated: "The door is locked. ”

Xu Shinian smiled, walked over, and said gently: "It doesn't matter, this lock is rusty, and it should be broken by hand." ”

As he spoke, he put his fingers on the lock and twisted it so hard that it made a muffled metal crash, but it was still firmly attached to the keyhole.

Wanxian stood aside and looked at him with a beautiful posture and a slender figure, Xu Shinian felt embarrassed under her expectant gaze, and twisted it hard.

Wanlan said to Xie Daozhong: "This broken temple is really nothing to look at, I heard my mother say that there is a plum forest nearby, and it is okay on weekdays, if it blooms, it is beautiful, Mr. Xu is a literati, it is better to take advantage of the scenery to write a poem, it is also a wonderful thing in the literary world." ”

Xu Shinian heard that this was Wanlan to relieve him again, his face burned, and he made up his mind to unscrew the lock no matter what, he gritted his teeth and suddenly exerted force, as if he even had the strength to eat milk, and finally heard the copper lock make a muffled sound and broke in his palm.

He breathed a sigh of relief, smiled slightly, and turned around: "Since Miss Xian likes it, let's go in and have a look, it's not a secret, I'm also the first time to come to the Taoist Temple, and I'm very curious." ”

Wanxian thanked him, and the group walked through the threshold in turn, Lixia was scared in his heart, clinging to Wanlan, and refused to walk behind alone.

There is a stone tripod in the middle of the courtyard, which has been full of fallen leaves, and the road is full of broken leaves, because no one has cleaned them for too many years, and the leaves are piled up layer by layer, wafting out a slight smell of rot.

Wan Tian didn't like the smell, and she didn't like the dirty environment here, she covered her nose with her cuffs, barely walked two steps, and stopped: "I'll wait for you outside." ”

Lixia hurriedly said, "I'll accompany the second miss." ”

Wanlan looked at them funny, naturally there was no reason not to allow it, she thought about it, and said, "You guys are standing outside without incident, why don't you go back to the garden and get the lock again." ”

When Wanxian heard this, she immediately walked over: "A Taoist temple, and there are no valuable objects, the original owner may not come again, what do you want to lock it for, it is better to open it like this, and the woodcutter on the mountain will come in the future, so as to take shelter from the wind and rain." ”

Wanlan couldn't help but joke with her: "Our Miss Xian has always been a compassionate heart, but this view is not our own, is it appropriate to be generous to others?"

Wanxian pouted: "Borrow his Taoist temple, do his good deeds, Sanqing inherits the good name, I accept peace of mind, it's a big deal that I swept this yard myself, and it can be regarded as making some efforts in this good deed, how about it?"

Wanlan couldn't help laughing, even Xie Daozhong was amused, and said repeatedly: "Okay, good, it's naturally good for Ah Xian to have this thought, but after a while, we will leave, leave you to clean the yard by yourself, don't be afraid." ”

Wanxian pursed her lips again, and ran to the front with the leaves, only a few rooms in this view were locked, and most of them were just hidden. Wanxian stood in front of the temple dedicated to Sanqing, pushed the door open hard, and immediately dust and cobwebs fell together, she was caught off guard, and quickly retreated, still stuck to half of her forehead by dust.

At this time, even Xu Shinian laughed, Wanxian didn't dare to look back, she rubbed the handkerchief on her forehead hard, and a large red mark appeared in one or two strokes, Wanlan pursed her mouth and pulled away her hand, gently brushed her forehead, and carefully picked out the spider silk from her hair.

"The window paper was broken, and that's what blew the dust in. Wanlan looked into the room, and there was a layer of dust on the ground, and there were some animal paw prints scattered on it, like plum blossoms, maple leaves, and pointed nails.

"This is really a paradise for mountain spirits," Wanxian was happy again, and jumped in first, and looked around as she walked, the huge statue of Sanqing was at the end of the room, and the paint on her body was a little faded, only dull, but not terrifying.

Xu Shinian stood at the door of the house and read the couplet hanging on both sides: "If you have a wicked heart, it is useless to burn incense." Hold on to your body, what's the harm if you don't worship me. ”

He smiled slightly: "Good mind." ”

Whoever believes in Him will not be condemned. The unbeliever is condemned because he does not believe in the name of the only begotten Son of God - John 3-18.

=====================================================================

The couplet comes from the Shaanxi Louguantai Wang Lingguan Palace.
