Since Xu Zhihe came to Shengzhou to take up his post, he has been diligent and conscientious, and he has done everything Xu Wen has done as much as possible. After more than a year of hard work, the construction of the warship is progressing smoothly, there are no mistakes in the defense of Shengzhou, and the mental outlook of the soldiers has also been greatly improved, and the officialdom of Shengzhou has slowly accepted and recognized Xu Zhihe's talents, which have not escaped Xu Wen's ears, although Xu Wen people are not in Shengzhou, everything that happens here is under his control. So Xu Wen promoted Xu Zhihe to be the deputy envoy of Shengzhou, the governor of the state, from now on Xu Zhihe has the right to manage the military and political affairs of Shengzhou, he is very excited, and he understands in his heart that this is his adoptive father's recognition and reward for himself in the past year or so.

Xu Zhihe was busy for several days after being promoted, and finally sorted out the matter at hand, the weather was sunny on this day, and Xu Zhihe was in a good mood after being busy with official business, so he and Zhou Zong came to the suburbs to play, one is to come out to breathe, and the other is to think about how to further get to know Wang Rong's daughter. The two walked and walked to a flowerbed, the flowers in the flowerbed were blooming, Xu Zhihe and Zhou Zong were attracted by the scenery in front of them. There was a man in the garden who was taking care of the flowers, pruning his mouth while reading: "Raising flowers is like raising virtuous, and going to grass is like removing evil." Pine and bamboo decay from time to time, and the willow falls in autumn. Xu Zhihe looked at this person carefully, he was not very old, Confucian dress, extraordinary temperament, at first glance like a learned person, Xu Zhihe felt that this person was very interesting, and while pondering the poem he read, he walked over.

"What a poem, Mr. Yaxing." Xu Zhihe said.

"Ah, it's just a few impromptu words in the next place, which makes Childe smile." And the man saluted.

"Everywhere, Mr.'s poems seem simple, but they contain truth. Flowers are like sages, grass is like wicked people, if you want to make the flowers bloom gorgeous and pleasing to the eye, you have to remove the grass, otherwise the grass will erode the flowers step by step. In the same way, if a virtuous person wants to make a difference, he must stay away from the wicked, otherwise the wicked will corrupt the virtuous and the surrounding him, and no matter how talented the virtuous is, there is no opportunity and space for him to display himself. ”

"Childe's words are whipped into the inside, and I admire it, I don't know ...... childe is"

"Under Xu Zhihe, dare to ask Mr. what to call him."

"It turned out to be Lord Xu, fortunately, in the lower Song Qiqiu." The man saluted.

"Mr. Song's flowers are so good, Mr. is really an elegant person!"

"Where, where, just have nothing to do to pass the time, 'Ya' is ashamed."

"Sir shouldn't make a living from this, I don't know where Mr. works?"

"I'm really ashamed, I'm just a casual guest living here, but Lord Xu's name Song has heard of it, Lord Xu is in charge of Shengzhou's defense, so that the people of Shengzhou live peacefully, the people applaud, Song also deeply admired."

"Mr. Song has an overreputation, it's all within my responsibility, I'm just doing my duty."

"The word responsibility seems simple, but it is actually difficult to do, how many people are responsible but not responsible, and how many people are conscientious but not dedicated. The so-called 'many people who know, few people who do', can achieve the integration of knowledge and action, and know how to be responsible and responsible, there are very few people in the world! Song Qiqiu's words impressed Xu Zhihe, and he felt that this person was different, so he said:

"If there is a constant war today, with Mr. Song's talent and learning, why don't you seek a fame and fame Kuangfu Sheji, but you are willing to live here in dispersion?"

"Where do you have any talent, but you have read a few books and know a few words. But if you want to talk about Kuang Fu Sheji, I think adults have this fortune in their lives. Xu Zhihe was stunned when he heard this.

Song Qiqiu looked at him and said, "My lord, you have the appearance of wealth and wealth!" After speaking, he turned around and walked away, Xu Zhihe and Zhou Zong heard this, and the two of them looked at each other. Looking at Song Qiqiu's back, the two of them were still unsatisfied. But Song Qiqiu had already entered the hut next to him, Xu Zhihe had to leave, and turned his head from time to time to look, feeling that this person had something to say, which was a bit mysterious.

Since he met Song Qiqiu by chance, his figure has been appearing in front of Xu Zhihe in the past few days, he feels that Song Qiqiu is not an idle person, he is a talented person, especially the last few words, which made Xu Zhiqiu think about it, so he decided to go to Song Qiqiu again, wanting to continue to understand this person.

Xu Zhihe and Zhou Zong came to the flower garden, just when Song Qiqiu was there, seeing the two of them coming over, Song Qiqiu stepped forward and saluted: "Lord Xu is here to enjoy the flowers again?" ”

"Appreciate the flowers, but also taste the people." Xu Zhihe said.

"Oh, if the adults don't dislike it, it's better to go to the house and taste tea first." Song Qiqiu led Xu Zhihe and Zhou Zong into a nearby hut, which was relatively simple, with no other decent furniture except for a bed, a table, and a few stools. But the room is relatively tidy, there is a teapot and a few teacups in the middle of the table, and there are a few books on the side.

"Do you have any guests here, sir?" Xu Zhihe asked.

"I have a few friends here, and occasionally come to me to enjoy the flowers and tea, all of which are small talk." Song Qiqiu said while pouring tea.

"Where is the gentleman from? I don't read as many books as my husband, but I also know that my husband reads these books about governing the country and looking at the heavens and the earth. ”

"In the ancestral hometown of Luling, the ancestor also did an official such as a festival envoy, but then the family fell into the middle of the road, and now I am just an idler, what a shame!"

"I think Mr. has the talent to stabilize the country and secure the country, it shouldn't be difficult to get a fame, why do you live here, is Mr. really satisfied with the status quo?"

"My lord has won the award, how can I have the talent to stabilize the country and secure the country, but I think the adult has the face to turn things around." Xu Zhihe was even more stunned after hearing this, and looked at Song Qiqiu suspiciously, and Song Qiqiu continued:

"With all due respect, the voice of the adult is like a bell, the heavenly court is full, the nose is wide and the mouth is wide, the air is lofty, not angry but mighty, revealing a rich and noble atmosphere, big

Man is not a thing in the pool. ”

"I was just an orphan, and when I was seven years old, I was fortunate to be adopted by my adoptive father to have where I am today, and I dare not have other extravagant hopes." Xu Zhihe said calmly.

"Dragon, can ascend and dive, can conceal and show, ascend to the clouds and drive the fog, the dive is hidden, the hidden disappears, the manifestation is the king of the world, and he will turn into a dragon when he encounters a storm." Xu Zhihe was stunned after hearing this, but he immediately calmed down and said:

"I am just a deputy envoy of Shengzhou, doing my best to benefit the people of Shengzhou and be loyal to Huainan. Human life has its own certainty, how can we do what we want? How can I have such a mystery as my husband said. ”

Song Qiqiu smiled lightly after hearing this, "Hehe, my lord, there is a fixed number of human lives, but the number of lives is also determined by heaven, and the adult's life is a noble appearance!" ”

Song Qiqiu's words made Xu Zhihe and Zhou Zong both at a loss, and they didn't know whether to believe it or not. Xu Zhihe felt that the person in front of him was a little mysterious and a little evil, he didn't think about it further, stood up and said to Song Qiqiu:

"Sir, there is still something going on in the government, I have to leave. I'm bothered a lot today, I wonder if my husband would like me to come here to enjoy the flowers in the future? ”

"Hahaha, where is it, I wish someone would have come to talk, as long as the adults don't think I'm a vulgar person, and don't think I'm a bad grass house."

"Thank you, sir, there will be a date later!" After speaking, Xu Zhihe left with Zhou Zong.

Looking at their backs as they left, Song Qiqiu seemed to nod and smile slightly.
