Xiaolan sat down at this time, and Guoan stood in front of Xiaolan and sat opposite Xiaolan. After they sat down, Xiaolan looked at Guoan and said, "Young Master, it's late at night, it's time to rest." ”

"Young Master Ben is now revising the books he wrote in the past and preparing to publish them," Guoan said as he turned to look at the manuscript paper on the desk behind him.

"Are you talking about the "He Yuan Chronicle"? ”

"Yes, I don't think the title of this book is so good, and after thinking about it for a while, I still modify it to "Weird Popular Romance", which is better. ”

"The young master is really a talented person, he can be compared to Tang Bohu in the previous dynasty," Xiaolan has always admired He Guoan's talent, so she hid it for a long time and didn't say it, so she took the opportunity of chatting with He Guoan to blurt out.

"Talent," Guoan smiled bitterly three times, drank three glasses in a row, looked sideways, and tears came out of his eyes. After a long time, he faced Xiaolan and said: "What's the use of saying that you have this talent, you have lost Sun Shan three times in a row, but now he is just a showman, it is better to be a martial artist, he is on the third list after taking the exam once." Now he is an all-round talent in civil and military affairs, and he has the backstage of the governor, Lord Luo, recruiting disciples, and he is thriving. And I, hiding in this study with nothing to do, what use do you say? It's just a poem to give out the complaints in my heart. Guoan borrowed the bitterness buried in his heart to say it with some drunkenness, and his heart slowly felt a little comfortable.

Xiaolan didn't say anything at this time, raised her glass and swallowed the wine. Guoan sat in front of her, just shook his head, sighed, filled the wine in the wine glass, and drank it in one gulp.

The rooster crowed, the sky gradually brightened, the sun rose in the east, and the prince walked out of the mansion and handed out an invitation to invite the clan elders to the county order's mansion to discuss matters. The clan elders entered the hall one after another and saluted one by one: "Taigong." ”

Taigong stood on top of the hall and said with a smile: "You don't have to be polite, please take a seat." The clan elders all sat on both sides, and Taigong sat down and said: "The first draft of the clan rules has been completed, and I ask you to review it to see if there are still those things that need to be revised," After finishing speaking, Taigong got up and sat in front of the desk, stretched out his hand and picked up a few pieces of manuscript paper and handed them to everyone for circulation, passed them to Jiansheng Lao's hand, Jiansheng Lao held the manuscript paper in his hand, nodded with satisfaction, and said: "Taigong, your clan rules are already very good, for example, I will read this paragraph to you" Etiquette, righteousness is also, respect is prosperous, and vice versa. The big ones and the country, and the small ones and the townships, counties, and clans, are respected as rules. All women who cheat, do not keep chastity and mess in the world, ** in the family or do not respect their husbands, will be punished. The punishment is large and small, and the crime can be measured. The so-called three outlines, the monarch is the minister, the father is the son, and the husband is the wife. The so-called five constants, benevolence, righteousness, courtesy, wisdom, and faith, this is human ethics, and those who violate it will be punished, and the big ones can be sent to the government to measure it, and the small ones can be whipped more than 100. The woman should respect her three subordinates and four virtues, the so-called three subordinates, unmarried from the father, married from the husband, and the husband from the son. The four virtues are women's virtue, women's words, women's appearance, and women's merit. Those who are superior are respected by the name, the matter, and the world. If one of them violates, such as a man whose husband has not kept his chastity or a man who has not died and stolen a man, the former will be punished with fifty lashes, and the latter will be burned in the city." ”

After listening to this, the clan elders all agreed, and there were no objections. After the prince sat down, he said, "Since you have no objections, it means that it has been approved." ”

The clan elders all nodded and said, "It's passed." ”

One of the clan elders stood up and saluted, saying, "Princess." ”

Taigong stood up and returned the salute, saying, "You are like an old man." ”

"The old man has a proposal."

"Say, the old man listens."

"The clan rules can be divided into general outlines and details, this paragraph read by Jiansheng Lao just now is very well written, summarizing the essentials of the clan rules, it is better to set it as the general outline, I don't know how to be too public?"

"Jun Ru Lao, please sit down."

Jun Ru Lao sat aside, and the Tai Gong was very satisfied and said: "Jun Ru Lao's suggestion is very good, just according to everyone's wishes," and then looked at Jiansheng who was sitting next to him, and said: "Elder Jiansheng, how is the list of law enforcement elders?" ”

Elder Jiansheng took out the list of law enforcement elders and handed it to Taigong, who looked at Elder Jiansheng and said, "Let's read it to everyone and see what everyone thinks about it?" ”

Jiansheng Lao stood in front of Taigong and read: "He Shunmin, the word Junru, He Zhaozong, the word Decai, He Zhaosheng, the word Desheng, He Shengzu, the word Chongzhi, He Shuncai, the word Zhimin, He Yanqing, the word Jiansheng, what is the meaning of these six people." ”

"These six people are highly respected, and we are all very satisfied," everyone had no opinion on the six of them, and then Jiansheng Lao turned to face Taigong and said: "Please also ask Taigong to inscribe, we all admire Taigong's Mobao." ”

"Okay," what I didn't expect was that Taigong agreed very happily this time. Taigong stood up and walked in front of the desk, took out the rice paper and spread it on the desk, dipped some ink on the rice paper and wrote "He Family Ancestral Hall" and "Confucius Temple" on the rice paper, the clan elders stood behind the Taigong, admired, and said: "Okay! Good word! Three days later, Taigong left his hometown and returned to Chengdu.

He was very much respected by Luo Bingzhang, the governor of Sichuan, and recommended him to join the imperial court as an official, but he refused. After He Guozhi entered the Governor's Palace, he looked around, and there was nothing left in this Governor's Mansion except for a desk and famous paintings of celebrities hanging on the wall? From this we can see the character of the governor as an official. He Guozhi sat in the lobby, and the subordinate stepped forward and said, "Childe, please have tea, Lord Luo is busy with affairs, and he will be here soon." ”

"Okay," He Guozhi took the teacup from his subordinate's hand, sat on the chair, put the teacup on the desk next to him, and waited for Lord Luo to come out.

He Guozhi, the word Wenshan. After Lord Luo walked out, he exclaimed: "Wenshan, I'm very sorry, this official has been busy lately, so I've kept you waiting for a long time." ”

When Guozhi saw Lord Luo walk out, he immediately stood up and said, "Lord Luo." ”

"No need to be polite, sit down," Luo Bingzhang sat down in the hall, opposite to He Guozhi, and He Guozhi sat down.

"Wenshan is a civil and military all-rounder, which is rare in ancient and modern times, why not a certain official and a half-post in the imperial court?"

"Thank you for the love of the Governor, I am used to being free and loose in the rivers and lakes, I am afraid that it is not suitable to be an official in the imperial court, and the officialdom is sinister, there are many villains, people and ghosts are mixed, and there are less scheming in the lower world, and it is difficult to gain a foothold in the officialdom. Therefore, there is an idea that it is better to be an official in the imperial court than to open a martial arts hall in the people, and practice martial arts to strengthen the physique of the people. ”

"Wenshan is right, opium is rampant in the country today, and Britain established the East India Company in colonial India to import a large amount of opium into the country, so as to make huge profits, weaken the people's physique, and break through its defense line on the strategic basis.

"Your Excellency the Governor is right, the army's poor combat effectiveness will be harmed by this, if other countries attack us, what will we resist?" The heart of the country and the people has been said to the heart of the Governor, and the Governor is also worried about this matter.

"I don't know when Wenshan will open a martial arts hall, just say what you need the service of this official."

"Your Excellency the Governor doesn't recommend entering the court as an official," Guozhi said with a pretended smile.

"Everyone has his own ambitions, so why force them? If a strong militia can be formed when other countries invade to resist the invasion of other countries, those pampered officials, as well as those numb people, can be vigilant, think of danger and survive, enjoy and die, I don't know when Wenshan established a martial arts hall? ”

"Please give it the next one to two years."

"Okay, this official is here to watch your martial arts hall be established."

After the prince returned to Chengdu, he entered He Yuan, and Mrs. Tai and Mrs. Chen of He Yuan went out of the house to greet him. After Mrs. Tai entered the mansion, she didn't see Miss Shuqian, so she called the maid Luxiu and asked, "Luxiu, why don't you see Miss, where did you go?" ”

"Master Qiyu, the young lady has something to go out, and the slave doesn't know."

"Presumptuous, when the young lady comes back and calls her to the old man's study, the old man has something to ask," at this time, the prince was a little angry, and Lu Xiu looked at the face of the princess, and was afraid. Taigong looked at the green show in the hall and said, "You can step down." ”

"Slave and maid leave," the maid stood up and bowed out.

Mrs. Chen stood aside and said, "This girl is getting more and more disagreeable, she likes a play, what kind of system is it?" This time I must have gone to see that actor. Father, when she comes back, I must talk about her. ”

"The old man knows, daughter-in-law, you go down first."

Mrs. Chen stood up and bowed half-squatting, and said, "Father, you have to take care of your body, don't be angry with your body for this, and the daughter-in-law will retire," and then Mrs. Chen withdrew from the hall.

"Senior brother, senior brother," some of Shaobai's junior disciples squeezed through the door. Shaobai got up and said, "What's so urgent." ”

"Miss He is here," Shaobai was overjoyed after hearing this, and said ecstatically: "Where is it?" Where is it? ”

"Outside the door of the theater."

Shaobai rushed out of his room, and at this moment, Qiu Hongru walked out slowly and said, "Shaobai, where are you going?" ”

"Master."

"Go back, don't go," Shaobai turned around and said, "Dad." ”

"Go back," Shaobai was very unconvinced, and entered his room angrily. Qiu Hongru straightened his sideburns and beard, walked out of the theater gate, and saluted Shuqian: "Miss." ”

Shuqian turned to face Shaobai's father, a little surprised and a little nervous, and replied: "Uncle Qiu, the little woman is here to see Shaobai, I don't know if Shaobai is there?" ”

"Shaobai has something to do, please Miss Jin come into the house and talk."

"Okay," Shuqian hesitated for a moment before following Qiu Hongru into the hall. Qiu Hongru turned around and said, "Miss, please take a seat." ”

Shuqian could only sit down with a smile on her face, not even knowing where her hand should be most appropriate. After Qiu Hongru sat down, Shuqian didn't know how to ask Shaobai's father, but she was a little uncomfortable. Qiu Hongru called his disciples to serve tea, so Hongru said: "I don't know what happened when Miss saw Shaobai?" ”
