In the past ten days, Chen Ziyou has been very bored in the inn, unlike other Confucian scholars who are busy memorizing Confucian classics, Chen Ziyou spends his days in his room reading the books of the soldiers and the Legalists.

The ideas of Taoism and Mohism have never been valued by Chen Ziyou, but they are more needed by soldiers and Legalists in this era. In the city of Qufu, the hometown of Confucianism in the world, any non-Confucian books are listed as banned books, and any school that spreads other ideas is not allowed to step into even half a step of the border of the Lu country.

So walking in Qufu City, you can't see books of other genres, if you are caught selling banned books, you will be exiled at least and killed at worst.

Chen Ziyou disdains such rules, ideas should be inclusive, not complacent, even if Confucianism is superior, it should not completely reject the ideas of others. Every time he thinks of this, Chen Ziyou will look down on that Meng Fuzi and Yan Ziyuan, the head of Confucianism today.

The books on the art of war in this era are generally in the right direction, and Chen Ziyou has seen a lot of interesting points from them. The only pity is that in recent decades, there do not seem to be a few famous figures in Legalism. Needless to say, the characters of the military family, Bai Lang of the Qin State, Gongsun Yue Li Mu of the Zhao State, and Deng Xi of the Qi State are all famous generals of a generation, and their names will definitely be in the history books in the future.

Chen Ziyou rubbed his eyes, put down the military book in his hand, stood up, and after staying in the house for so many days, it was time to go out for a walk.

Before leaving the room, Chen Ziyou did not forget to hide the classics of the two families of the art of war, in case someone found out, it would not be as simple as being expelled from Qufu.

The last time I walked around the streets of Qufu City, Chen Ziyou met an old phase master, a ghost and god made him feel very bad, and Chen Ziyou was relieved afterwards, but he was full of doubts, physiognomy should be the skill of Taoism, and it should be not allowed in Qufu City, but that time I saw the appearance of the old phase master, I thought that I had been setting up a stall for many years, and I didn't know how to gain a foothold.

......

Two women were walking briskly down the street.

Walking in front was a young woman dressed in purple, and those who could afford to wear purple clothes in Qufu City were all young ladies from big households.

The woman who followed behind was much more ordinary, but not ordinary than ordinary people.

The two of them, dressed as master and servant, seemed to have no intention of shopping, but walked briskly on the street one after the other.

The maidservant kept up with the pace of the woman in purple, and said breathlessly: "Miss, go back quickly, or the master should scold again." ”

The woman in purple turned around, a pair of willow eyebrows were twisted together, her small mouth pursed, and she said very angrily: "Why did he arrange a marriage for me without my permission?" ”

Seeing that the master had finally stopped, the maidservant hurriedly persuaded, "Hasn't the master already compromised?" ”

The woman in purple widened her eyes and said, "This is also called compromise? ”

The maidservant said helplessly: "The student who won the first place in the Confucian exchange meeting is the best among the younger generation, not to mention that Mr. Yan personally checks it, are you still not satisfied, Miss?" ”

The woman in purple crossed her waist and scolded, "What's the matter with me? This princess will not marry anyone she likes in her life! What a leader, but some nerds who read every day! ”

The maid was shocked, and hurriedly stepped forward to cover her master's mouth: "Miss! If you hear this, it's not as simple as confinement for a month! ”

The woman in purple covered her mouth, scolded a few words indistinctly, and finally closed her mouth obediently.

The maid breathed a sigh of relief, let go of her hand, looked at the master's somewhat lost look, and comforted: "Miss, the master is also for your good, and I want to help you find someone worthy of trust." ”

The woman in purple stopped talking, was in a daze for a moment, took a deep breath, and lifted her spirits and said, "Let's go, let's go shopping!" I'll buy more stuff and that old stubborn to death! ”

The maidservant knew in her heart that the old man in the family had always saved, and today the master spent money lavishly, and it was indispensable to scold a dog when he went back.

The woman in purple is playful by nature, she doesn't like to read, and she grew up in Qufu City since she was a child, and she has long been tired of the sound of reading in the city. Walked around the bazaar a few times, but it was a little tired, Qufu is not compared to other places, although it is the capital of a country, but the city is prosperous but not more than other places. In addition, the Lu Guogong has advocated frugality throughout the ages, and the city is not prosperous, but there are many bookstalls, and the streets are full of books. Originally, in recent decades, the etiquette has collapsed, and many princes have cut off their tribute to Luoyang, only Lu Guogong follows the ancestral system, and the annual worship has never been broken, but it lags behind other princes in the development of the economy.

Today, there are very few who are truly loyal to the Son of Heaven in Luoyang, Lu and Qi, when they were divided more than 300 years ago, they were the title of dukes, and the ancestors were related to the Great Zhou royal family, so they were naturally hardcore loyal ministers of the Great Zhou Dynasty. Needless to say, the Qin State is full of anti-heart, the Great Chu has never asked about the Central Plains, the Yan State and Luoyang are face to face and heart discord, it is difficult to say loyalty, and several small countries in the central part are even more busy taking care of themselves.

How could the purple-clothed woman who had been pampered in Qufu City know about these so-called situations in the world?

Tired of shopping, the woman in purple didn't want to go home so early, so she looked around, but she came up with a fun method.

"Xiaoli, look at that little Confucian over there!" The woman in purple pulled the corner of the handmaid beside her.

The maidservant looked at her with a puzzled face.

The woman in purple grinned and said, "Let's go and tease him." ”

Xiaoli hesitated: "But the master often says that scholars are the most respectable." ”

The woman in purple didn't care about this, she walked up alone, and Xiaoli had to hurry up when she saw this.

Coincidentally, this little Confucian student was Chen Ziyou, who had just come out of the inn and wanted to go shopping and relax.

"Hey, little scholar!" The woman in purple shouted.

Chen Ziyou continued to walk on the street as if he hadn't heard it, the streets of Qufu City were not as prosperous as other capitals, but the sound of reading was indeed easy for people to calm down and think about something, Chen Ziyou liked this atmosphere very much.

Seeing that Chen Ziyou didn't hear it, the woman in purple was a little annoyed, and went up to grab Chen Ziyou's clothes.

Chen Ziyou came back to his senses and turned his head, a little puzzled.

This turn of his head made him stay where he was.

Chen Ziyou looked at the person in front of him in shock, dressed in purple, with a beautiful face, obviously dressed as a young lady from a large family, but the corners of his eyes revealed a touch of cunning.

But none of that mattered, because she was so much like a person.

"Mengwan?" Chen Ziyou looked at the woman in purple blankly and muttered.

The woman in purple was stunned for a moment, then took a step back: "You... How do you know my name? ”

Chen Ziyou stepped forward a little frantically, grabbed the hand of the woman in purple, and said hurriedly: "I'm Chen Ziyou!" Mengwan, don't you remember me? ”

The woman in purple was a little frightened by Chen Ziyou's face and wanted to break free of Chen Ziyou's hand, but Chen Ziyou's hand was too strong, and she couldn't break free for a while.

Xiaoli hurriedly stepped forward and pulled away Chen Ziyou's hand, and said angrily: "What a disciple, how dare you be presumptuous in Qufu City!" ”

Chen Ziyou glared at Xiaoli with some annoyance and said, "Who are you?" ”

Xiaoli was not afraid at all, and straightened her chest and said, "I am Miss's maidservant!" ”

Handmaid? Chen Ziyou was stunned for a moment, but he didn't think deeply, just continued to look at the woman in purple and said, "Mengwan, it's me!" ”

The woman in purple rubbed her wrist that had just been caught by Chen Ziyou, a little red and swollen, and her face was angry: "The ghost knows who you are!" Dare to bully Miss Ben on the street, aren't you afraid of death? ”

Chen Ziyou didn't pay attention to the threat of the woman in purple at all, but just looked at the face of the woman in purple blankly, and the woman in purple became even more annoyed after a long time.

Confucianism prevails in the country of Lu, the most pay attention to etiquette, men and women do not kiss is the idea that adults have instilled in girls since childhood, this Chen Ziyou first touched her hand, and then kept staring at his face, which is really against etiquette.

After a long time, Chen Ziyou's glowing eyes gradually dimmed, his face also lost his madness, he sighed faintly, and muttered: "It's too similar, but it's not the same person after all......

Chen Ziyou, who calmed down, whispered sorry, he recognized the wrong person, so he didn't want to stay for a long time, the past came to his mind, making his mind messy, he just wanted to be quiet alone.

The woman in purple was even more angry, stepped forward a few steps forward to stop Chen Ziyou, and said angrily: "Do you want to leave after indecent Miss Ben?" There is no such rule in Qufu City! ”

Chen Ziyou frowned, but looking at the familiar face in front of him, he couldn't get angry, but he became more and more irritable: "What do you want to do?" What happened just now was my fault, I hope Miss forgive me! ”

After that, Chen Ziyou bowed and made a gesture.

The woman in purple was unforgiving, and asked curiously, "How do you know Miss Ben's name?" ”

Chen Ziyou was stunned for a moment and said, "Your name is also Huang Mengwan?" ”

The woman in purple was also stunned and said, "My name is Meng Wan, Meng of Master Meng, and I am graceful." ”

Chen Ziyou sighed, a little self-deprecating in his heart, obviously he was a person from two eras, and he just looked alike, how could he even have the same name?

Although Xiaoli was also very annoyed by Chen Ziyou's rude behavior before, seeing that Chen Ziyou had a good attitude of admitting his mistakes, he didn't want to entangle more, so she stepped forward and pulled the corner of the purple-clothed woman's clothes and said, "Miss, let's go, it's time to scold when you go back late." ”

The woman in purple frowned, obviously not wanting to let go of Chen Ziyou in front of her like this, her mind changed, and she looked at Chen Ziyou dressed as a Confucian student, but she had an idea, she snickered in her heart, nodded, and turned to leave.

Chen Ziyou looked at Meng Wan's distant figure, a little stunned, and finally came to his senses.
