This is an extremely simple old woman.

She was dressed in a neat plain white linen dress, her gray hair was meticulously groomed, she pulled a bun at the back of her head, and wore it with a silver hairpin, and then there were no other ornaments, simple, but not casual, giving people a very capable and neat feeling.

Her face was still ruddy, though it was wrinkled. And what made Fu Xiaoguan feel that this old woman was different was the majesty in her eyes, and the faint aura she exuded when she sat here.

It seems that it is the master mother of a certain big valve in this Guanyun City.

Fu Xiaoguan walked into the pavilion, bowed to the old woman, and said, "Boy Fu Xiaoguan, say hello to the old lady." ”

The old woman had been looking at Fu Xiaoguan since he stepped on the steps of this pavilion, her face was serious, and her eyes occasionally squinted, presumably in order to see Fu Xiaoguan more clearly.

At this moment, Fu Xiaoguan was standing in front of her, she tilted her head slightly, still looking at Fu Xiaoguan's face, her eyes were peaceful, and she didn't know the waves.

"Sit."

"Old Madam Xie!"

Su Su looked left and right, and the old lady didn't call her, so her small mouth was slightly deflated and she sat on Fu Xiaoguan's side.

The woman who had just brought Fu Xiaoguan in took a small copper kettle and went to the bottom of the cliff, where there was a dingdong spring, which gathered into a bowl-sized spring on the bluestone platform below.

"I heard that this afternoon is the first day of the Cultural Conference, since you are Fu Xiaoguan, why are you here?"

"Back to the old lady, I have already finished answering that question, and I have nothing to do, so I will come back."

"Oh......" The old woman bowed her head slightly, Nangong Dongxue twisted the small copper kettle back to the pavilion, and put the pot on the stove, the old woman still looked at Fu Xiaoguan, and asked again: "I heard that Jinling is full of flowers and outstanding people, and it is a place where the world's energy gathers. ”

Fu Xiaoguan shook his head with a smile, "The old lady is really elevating Xiaosheng, since ancient times, there is no first, although Xiaosheng is thin and talented, he does not dare to say that he is invincible in the world." Jinling has its own merits than the Guanyun City, Jinling is indeed prosperous in literary style, but now the Guanyun City also has a rising atmosphere. Jinling's literary style is carried forward around sacred learning, which has its good side, but also its disadvantages. ”

The old woman seemed to be interested, "Oh...... tell me about it. ”

"Sacred learning has been going on for thousands of years, and this inheritance can be regarded as profound. But if you look at it from another angle, this is a confinement - it gives the Jinling style of literature a heavy weight, but it also puts a layer of shackles on the Yu Dynasty, so that it is difficult for the Yu Dynasty to take a step forward. ”

Nangong Dongxue suddenly looked up at Fu Xiaoguan, and then took a few pear blossoms from a bamboo basket beside him and put them into the copper kettle.

Fu Xiaoguan said eloquently: "It is too difficult to break this kind of shackles of imprisonment, but the Wu Dynasty does not have this problem. Although Shengxue had already been introduced to the Wu Dynasty, it was really developed after the vigorous promotion of Wen Xingzhou and Wen Lao. Although the students of the Wu Dynasty practice sacred learning, they do not worship blindly, so they do not have such shackles, they can stand on the basis of sacred learning and see further, this is the future can be expected, not as difficult as the Yu Dynasty. ”

The old woman smiled, "You're from the Yu Dynasty. ”

"It's a point of view, and it has nothing to do with where the people are."

"According to what you mean, the future of the Wu Dynasty is more promising than that of the Yu Dynasty?"

"I can't say for sure."

"Why?"

"For the study is dead, but man is alive. Sacred learning is just a tool, and the tool depends on how people use it. ”

The old woman's eyes lit up with a gleam, she withdrew her gaze and was silent for a few breaths, and asked, "There is an extremely difficult problem in the old body and mind that it is difficult to make up your mind for a long time, and I think it is also the reason why I am in the middle of it. If you can solve the doubts for the old body, it will be better. ”

Nangong Dongxue raised her eyes and looked at the old woman again, thinking if I need to avoid it?

"To tell you the truth, the old body family is huge, but there is only one son. This son was ridiculous at your age, and did a lot of stupid things. Fortunately, I am sensible after becoming an adult......" The old woman suddenly raised her head and looked at Fu Xiaoguan again, "I heard that you were also ridiculous before?" ”

Fu Xiaoguan touched his nose, this is a special lying gun!

"Don't hide it from the old lady, the boy used to ...... It's not very reliable. ”

"Oh...... You're pretty much like my son. ”

Of course, the old man's son became the head of the family, took care of the family inside and out, and then married a wife and took a concubine. The main wife gave birth to a son and a daughter, and the concubine also gave birth to a son. The grandchildren are now adults, but problems have also arisen. ”

"Such a large share of the family business should naturally fall on the eldest son and eldest grandson, but the eldest grandson of the old body is an ignorant master, so the old son wants to set the head of the next generation as the child born by the concubine, but what he didn't expect is that the main house made a move and killed the child in the concubine's room."

"The things in this kind of drama fall on the old body, and the old body has been thinking these days that if this eldest grandson can wake up like his father, even if the family business can't expand anymore, it will be good to be able to keep it. But because of what the main house did, the old man's son was extremely unkind to this eldest grandson. ”

The old woman sighed, and Nangong Dongxue poured four cups of boiled tea and handed them over separately.

"The old man's son is a seed of infatuation, similar to the words you mentioned in the painting for Yan Ruyu. He fell in love with a woman when he was young, but for various reasons they could not be together. This is not a big deal in the eyes of the old man, but at this juncture, I heard my son say that he and the woman actually have a son who is outcast! ”

The old woman looked at Fu Xiaoguan, "I heard that you are also the illegitimate son of His Majesty today...... It's quite similar, my son wants to take back his illegitimate son, sacrifice to the temple, and return to the family tree. The meaning is obvious, he wants to hand over this huge family business to his illegitimate son - the old body wants to ask you, if His Majesty wants to pass on the crown prince to you today, how will you look at it? ”

Fu Xiaoguan was startled, but heard the old woman say again: "What the old body said is if, because your business is similar to what the old body is facing." ”

"Old lady, if it were me, I wouldn't have done it."

The old woman frowned and asked, "One step to the sky, why don't you do it?" ”
