Zuo Cheng's angry voice reached the house, and Chen Liang, who was transcribing wooden tablets with a pen, heard movement outside and immediately got up and walked out.

When I got to the front yard, I saw a man dressed as a noble man loudly reprimanding a person next to the carriage outside.

So, he came to Zuo Cheng unhurriedly, bowed his hand and said, "Dare to ask the nobleman but Doctor Zuo in person?" ”

Zuo Cheng had already noticed Chen Liang when he carried him out of the house, but he saw that he was not old, his hair was blue and black, although his face had the yellow and black color of a farmer's long-term farming, but his every move was calm, as if he was a son of Confucianism. knew that this was not Xu Xing himself, but Xu Xing's disciple.

So he did not stop reprimanding.

It wasn't until Chen Liang opened his mouth to salute that Zuo Cheng responded: "Yes, it is the envoy." ”

Saying that, Zuo Cheng asked knowingly: "Dare to ask Mr. Xu Zi." ”

Chen Liang responded: "The doctor misunderstood, Chen Liang, a student of Mr., is not Mr. ”

After speaking, Chen Liang saluted Zuo Cheng and said, "Liang has seen the doctor." ”

Zuo Cheng was noncommittal when he heard this, and asked, "I don't know where Xu Zi is." ”

Chen Liang responded: "Back to the doctor, sir, this person is farming in the field. ”

"Farming?" Zuo Cheng was furious when he heard this.

Could it be that he Xu Xing really regarded him as a character?

In the past, the first king sent three doctors to invite Zhuangzi, but Zhuangzi went to the river to fish, and then the three doctors had to take the initiative to find Zhuangzi by the river and then send him an invitation.

Now Xu Xing knew that he was going to invite him today, so he ran to the field to farm!

Is this asking him to go to the field?

Thinking about it, Zuo Cheng smiled in his heart.

What kind of person is Zhuangzi, that is the real great sage, the hermit.

What kind of person are you, a crazy and crazy person, can you compare with Zhuangzi?

He even asked the envoy of the king of Chu to go to the field in person to invite!

Thinking about it, Zuo Cheng asked: "Could it be that Xu Zi didn't receive the news that the envoy was coming to convey the edict of the King of Chu today?" ”

As soon as Chen Liang heard that there was something in Zuo Cheng's words, his tone was wrong, so he responded: "Back to the doctor's words, Mr. did receive the news that the envoy of the King of Chu was coming today yesterday night. ”

"If there is no mistake, the envoy of the king of Chu arrived at the county seat of Yongxian County yesterday night, the county seat is not far from here, and the carriage is only half an hour away. Under normal circumstances, the envoys usually travel by horse-drawn carriage, and set off when the city gate is opened, and the time is calculated, and they should arrive here before the morning eclipse. ”

"It's just that Mr. got up early this morning and waited, until after the morning meal, and waited for more than half an hour, but still did not see the messenger arrive, so I thought that someone was joking with Mr. yesterday, so I went to the field to farm."

Zuo Cheng froze when he heard this.

According to normal circumstances, he, the messenger, had already arrived.

It's just that after announcing the award of King Chu to Yongxian Yin in the county seat last night, he accepted Yongxian Yin's pick-up and dust.

One is that Yongxian Yin is indeed very enthusiastic, and the other is that Zuo Cheng looks down on Xu Xing in his heart, and as a result, he drank two more glasses, and the Yue Nu presented by Yongxian Yin was indeed enchanting, and then he made a mistake.

Zuo Cheng was stunned and said with a smile: "This matter is indeed the envoy's fault, and the envoy heard that Xu Zixian has the legacy of ancient sages, so he visited Xu Zi's deeds on the road, so he delayed some time." ”

"However, fortunately, there are gains and losses, and the envoy has found that the rumors are true, and Xu Zixing has indeed educated many people."

Chen Liang replied reservedly: "The envoy Miao praised, and he didn't dare to mention the teachings that were not spoken, Mr. just followed the example of the sages and practiced them." ”

Zuo Cheng sighed: "Daxian is close at hand, the envoy really can't wait to see Xu Zi now, with Mr. Lao leading the way, take the envoy to see Xu Zi." ”

Chen Liang arched his hand and said, "Messenger, please." ”

After a while, when everyone came to the field, Chen Liang pointed to one of the old men who was wearing a hat and coarse cloth clothes, and was bending over to work in the field, and said, "Messenger, which one is Mr." ”

Zuo Wei wanted to go forward to see Xu Xing, but as a result, he raised his foot, looked at the soil in the field, and suddenly felt nauseous, but his face was silent, and he said: "Mr. Chen, the envoy knows nothing about farming, but he also knows that farmers are the foundation of the country, if he accidentally tramples on the seedlings in the field and destroys Xu Zi's cultivation results, it is not appropriate. ”

"So, I don't know if Mr. went to ask Xu Zi to come out, so he said that the envoy of the King of Chu had arrived, and he specially invited Xu Zi for a while."

Chen Liang arched his hand and said: "If you dare to disobey your fate, please wait a moment for the messenger!" I'm going to report to Mr. Below! ”

Zuo Cheng nodded when he heard this.

Chen Liang came to Xu Xing's side: "Sir, the envoy of the King of Chu, Doctor Zuo is here, and I would like to invite Mr. for a while." ”

"Oh!" Xu Xing paused, then put the soil in his hand still in the field, straightened his waist, and turned around to look.

Sure enough, there was this noble man standing on the edge of the field, who was bowing his hand at this moment.

Seeing this, Xu Xing also returned the salute in the field.

Then, Xu Xing took out a few pieces of wood from his body and handed them to Chen Liangdao: "I have checked the soil color of this acre of land, and as for the moisture, softness, and growth of corn in various parts of the field, I will temporarily hand it over to you to inspect and record." ”

Chen Liang took the wooden tablet and responded: "No! ”

Zuo Cheng thought that after Xu Xing greeted him, he would immediately come to meet him, but he didn't want to, after Xu Xing said hello, he talked to Chen Liang again, although he didn't say it for long, but this attitude made Zuo Cheng dislike.

Xu Xing came out of the field, washed the dirt on his hands and feet first, and then put on straw sandals, before coming to Zuo Cheng, and arched his hand: "I have seen the messenger." ”

Zuo Cheng nodded, and said politely: "I have heard the name of Xu Zi for a long time, and I am very fortunate to see it today!" ”

After the ceremony.

Zuo Cheng opened his mouth and said: "When the king heard that Xu Zixian did nothing, he did not teach what he said, educated the people, and planted grains, and the king was very happy, so he gave Xu Zi fifty gold. ”

Xu Xing thanked him and said, "Minister, thank you for the king." ”

Then, Zuo Cheng continued: "There are sages in the wilderness, the luck of the Chu State, and the loss of the minister, therefore, when the king heard about Xu Zi, the special envoy asked Xu Zi to go to Yingdu for a while. ”

Xu Xingying said: "The king summoned, the minister's honor, willing to go to Yingdu." ”

Seeing that Xu Xing agreed, Zuo Cheng immediately rejoiced: "Xu Zi, please." ”

Xu Xing smiled and said, "Doctor, please!" ”

Two days later, Zuo Cheng took Xu Xingji and several people to Yingdu.

Yingdu.

Xiong Huai looked at Zuo Cheng and asked, "Xianqing went to Yongxian County, I don't know what I saw." ”

Zuo Cheng said: "Back to the king's words, the minister resigned from Yongxian, what he saw and heard, as rumored, Xu Zi has a very high reputation in Yongxian, and the people are driven by Xu Xing and his disciples, each performing his duties, working hard, without the slightest slack. ”

"And under the influence of Xu Xing, the local people are simple, and the people show sincerity, even if they are children, they are not deceived."

Xiong Huai nodded when he heard this, and what Zuo Cheng reported was basically the same as the information submitted by Chen Zhen.

So, I couldn't help but sigh: "Yes, Xu Zi deserves to be a legacy of ancient sages." ”

"It's just..." Zuo Cheng stopped talking when he heard this.

Xiong Huai was stunned for a moment and asked, "Just what?" ”

Zuo Cheng pondered: "It's just that the minister found that Xu Zi was too concerned about farming. The minister sent someone to tell Xu Zi that the king's envoy would go back tomorrow to announce the king's edict to him, but after Xu Zi got the news, he didn't even dare to lose half a day, and took advantage of the fact that the minister had not yet arrived, and went to the fields to work in the fields first. ”

Xiong Huai: "······"

"Not only that, but when the minister arrived in the field, after Xu Zi and the minister greeted him, he actually finished the things in the field first, and then came out to accept the king's edict."

Xiong Huai: "······"

"Alas!" Zuo Cheng sighed: "Xu Zi is so good at farming, so much so that he really deserves his reputation!" ”

Xiong Huai: "······"
