There are many philosophical debates in Confucianism and Taoism, such as "Zhuang Zhou Mengdie", such as from "ritual music" to "benevolence" and so on.

Many scholars really read books only to broaden their knowledge and enrich their lives and thoughts, not for the purpose of studying to become officials in scientific examinations. In fact, even if a real scholar becomes an official, he is not for personal gain, but really wants to guard the side of the Son of Heaven and benefit the people in a corner.

It's just that thousands of years later, later generations have misinterpreted historical books, and always branded ancient scholars as utilitarian, thinking that all scholars wanted to be officials.

In fact, there are people who don't want to be officials, and they study just for the sake of studying.

For example, Duan Wuji, he raised his head from the vast books, there was a lot of confusion and confusion in his eyes, books could no longer answer his confusion, let alone the imperial examination, so he thought of experiencing his life.

Zhang Huaiyu couldn't assert whether his choice was right or wrong, the scholars cultivated by Shiqiao Village were not slaves, and they had no obligation to use them for Gu Qing, this was what Gu Qing told Zhang Huaiyu very seriously when he ran the school.

Of course, it would be better if he voluntarily chose to assist Gu Qing.

Although Zhang Huaiyu couldn't understand why Duan Wuji was not interested in the imperial examination, she did not object to him going to Anxi to assist Gu Qing.

"Since you choose to go to Anxi, I won't stop you, after a few years of training by Gu Qing's side, if you still want to participate in the scientific examination, then go back to Chang'an." Zhang Huaiyu smiled encouragingly at Duan Wuji.

Duan Wuji sighed: "Thank you, Sister for your success." ”

"After arriving in Anxi, he is a good student to assist Gu Qing, there is a shortage of people around him, you have to do your duty as a strategist, you must stop him when he makes a foolish decision, and you must help him supplement when he is not thoughtful."

"Yes. The students will be loyal to the affairs of the Shogun. ”

Zhang Huaiyu remembered that when he talked about the imperial examination just now, the other teenager also showed hesitation, so he turned his head to look at the other person and asked, "What about you?" Any thoughts? ”

The other boy was about seventeen years old, his eyes were quite smart, his face was always with a lively smile, he was not very comfortable standing in the yard, his body was always writhing unconsciously, as if he had ADHD, and he looked like a person who refused to settle down.

The boy is also surnamed Feng and his name is Feng Yu. In Shiqiao Village, the surname Feng is a big surname, and many families surnamed Feng in the village are related to each other.

Feng Yu smiled when he heard this, and said, "Sister, I don't want to take a scientific examination either, but I don't want to study anymore, what should I do?" ”

Zhang Huaiyu looked at him funny, this Feng Yu was quite lively in the school, stubborn and jumpy, often teasing Mr., but he was very talented in reading, and the gentlemen who taught him said that he had a small success, but unfortunately although he was talented in reading, he refused to calm down and study knowledge.

"If you put more effort into studying, you will already be the youngest Jinshi in my Tang Dynasty, you don't want to make progress and have a hippie smile, you don't want to take scientific exams and don't want to study, what do you want to do?" Zhang Huaiyu's tone was not good.

Feng Yu blinked and said with a smile: "I can be a businessman, like Brother Gu, he was also a businessman before he became an official, so I will follow the old path of Brother Gu, maybe I can also become an official and knight." ”

Zhang Huaiyu sneered: "Do you have Gu Qing's ability?" ”

"Brother Gu's ability is to be well-connected and tenacious, and he doesn't rely on reading to become an official."

Zhang Huaiyu said helplessly: "Don't talk nonsense, what do you want to do?" If you don't have an idea, I'll send you back to Shiqiao Village, whether you continue to study, go back to the village to farm, whatever you want. ”

Feng Yu looked at Duan Wuji, and then at the other two classmates who were determined to be officials in the scientific examination, scratched their heads vigorously, and said, "Why don't I go to Anxi with Brother Wuji, the scientific examination is really boring, it is better to follow Brother Gu to see the world." ”

Zhang Huaiyu stared at his eyes: "Think clearly?" ”

"Didn't think it through, but ...... Hehe, okay, think clearly, go to Brother Gu and beg for a living under him. Feng Yu said with a hippie smile.

Zhang Huaiyu nodded: "Okay, you and Duan Wuji go to Anxi, I will find out the caravan of Saixixing tomorrow, you follow the caravan, there is a response along the way, follow Gu Qing well when you arrive in Anxi, don't make trouble for him." ”

Both should be at the same time.

…………

Gu Qing, who walked into the Fuzhi Inn, took a step that his six relatives did not recognize, and even the guards behind him straightened their waists inexplicably.

It feels very strange that after Hou Ye has money, the guards are all confident, although Hou Ye's money has nothing to do with them.

Huangfu Sisi sat behind the screen in the front hall, quietly watching Gu Qing and his party walking with strange steps, led by Gu Qing's nostrils facing the sky, with a rich and compelling atmosphere, Huangfu Sisi couldn't cry or laugh.

This guy ...... Is it really the majestic commander who annihilated the 20,000-strong army of Tibet?

The contrast is too great.

Today, he looks like a scumbag who just stole his father's beloved baby for money and invited friends to visit the green house.

Gu Qing walked into the inn, chose a place to sit down, looked left and right, and looked at it.

Huangfu Sisi stepped forward, and smiled first: "Congratulations to the concubine first, depending on the situation, the Hou Ye has a lot of money this time, and he will have to take care of the concubine's business more in the future." ”

"It's easy to say, hurry up and go cooking, you can get what you're best at."

Huangfu Si Si Jiao said angrily: "Without saying a word, the Hou Ye urged the concubine to cook, it is rare for you to come once, is it just to eat?" ”

Gu Qing looked at her strangely: "It's not for dinner, is it to come to see you?" ”

Huangfu pondered for a moment, and his smile suddenly stiffened.

Well, familiar style, one mouth can make a person half angry.

"We're friends anyway, shouldn't friends talk more about each other?"

Gu Qing glanced at her and said, "Friends who have been absent for many years are worth talking about a few more words, we are in the same city, we see each other almost every day, I really don't have anything to talk about with you." ”

Huangfu Sisi sighed and said: "Why is the Hou Ye so ruthless, you said last time that you were a friend when you were a concubine, but the concubine was real." ”

Although the woman in front of her was a little suspicious, after all, her move to approach him was too active, but Gu Qing suddenly remembered the last time she happily lent her a hundred taels of silver cakes, and her heart was a little more moved.

Whether it is purposeful or not, it is kind to him to be able to take out a hundred taels of silver bread without hesitation when he is most poor, and the attitude towards his benefactor should be polite.

"Come, let's talk about what friends should talk about, it's a greeting after a long absence." Gu Qing warmly extended an invitation.

Huangfu Sisi was pleasantly surprised, and immediately sat down beside him, looked at him stupidly with one hand on his cheeks, and said, "Master Hou is talking, and the concubine is listening." ”

Gu Qing thought for a while and said solemnly: "What do you think of the current situation in Anxi?" There are four towns under the jurisdiction of the Anxi Metropolitan Protectorate, which town do you think the garrison troops should be tilted to? Among the four towns, which town is the most important defense of my Datang? ”

Huangfu Sisi was dumbfounded for a moment, and said deliciously: "This is what the Hou Ye wants to talk about with the concubine?" ”

"Or else? Tell you what kind of skin care to use and what kind of makeup to use? ”

Huangfu Sisi suddenly felt so powerless, it was really difficult to get close to this marquis, and the two were not on the same channel at all.

This person...... What exactly is there that attracts you? Huangfu Sisi couldn't help but start to reflect and repent.

"Master Hou, how about a different topic? Hou Ye should have sent a lot of money last night, right? Can you tell your concubine how much you made selling your shop? ”

Gu Qing looked at her vigilantly: "Are you going to collect debts?" One hundred taels will only lend me a few days, so don't be in such a hurry, and I'll talk about repaying the debt later. ”

"The concubine body is not a debt collection ......" Huangfu Sisi sighed and suddenly stood up: "The concubine body is still ...... Let's cook for you. ”

Gu Qing shook his head: "Woman, your name is 'fickle', it was you who said you were going to chat, and it was you who got up and ran away after chatting for a few words, as a friend, you need to reflect on yourself." ”

Huangfu Sisi almost broke his foot, and stood in place and took a deep breath.

Don't be angry, don't be angry, that's what he does.

The dishes were very exquisite, Huangfu Sisi seemed to have opened his mind overnight, and every dish he made was very suitable for Gu Qing's taste, and the taste was better than Gu Qing's own cooking.

Although Gu Qing wanted to be reserved, but after all, it was difficult to restrain herself in front of the food, and before she knew it, she quickly swept it away, burping and looking at the empty plate in front of her, Gu Qing suddenly felt a little unbearable on her face, and there was a feeling that she was being held by this woman......

Huangfu Sisi sat opposite him after the dish was ready, looking at him with a smile on his cheeks, and every time she saw him take a bite of the dish, she felt a little happy, and her heart was full of joy of stealing, full of a sense of accomplishment and a hint of ...... Sense of well-being.

"Master Hou, is the concubine body delicious?"

Gu Qing knew what she meant, so she wanted to praise her, but as a man who wanted to save face, and she was a consumer who gave money, how could she be proud?

"It's barely okay, the state has slipped from last time, we must be vigilant, we must guard against arrogance and rashness, and make persistent efforts." Gu Qing said lightly.

Huangfu Sisi blinked innocently: "The four dishes are eaten without even the oil, it turns out that it is just 'barely okay', if the Hou Ye eats something more delicious, won't he even bite down on the plate?" ”

Gu Qing suddenly felt disgraced, his old face turned red, and he shouted violently: "Han Jie, smash the store!" ”

Han Jie didn't move.

Huangfu Sisi was not in a hurry at all, and was soft and glutinous: "Oh, Hou Ye don't make trouble, obviously he is not a gentleman, he always likes to smash other people's shops, and he doesn't act like a domineering person, and he has to lose money after smashing, I have never seen such a weak-hearted gentleman." Last time, I swore that we were friends, and that's how Master Hou treated his friends? ”
