In the spring of March, the warm breeze is slightly drunk, the flowers in the garden of Yangzhou County are in full bloom, and the visitors are weaving. After He Fang and Zhu Sen's disciples saw the Marquis of Wuchang, the master told them not to have to be by their side, and this group of young scholars played in the county garden, and some of them still had excitement on their faces. When Zhu Sen and He Fang decided to preach widely and accept disciples, they deliberately did not select young scholars who were born poor and were not too enthusiastic about their careers. Therefore, some of these scholars were born in farming and reading families, and some were after merchants, but there were only one or two people who were really from scholars. Therefore, seeing the famous Marquis Wuchang with his own eyes shocked these young people a lot.

"Marquis Wuchang is so approachable," Mo Quan said with emotion, "I thought he was a martial artist." ”

He is a native of Bozhou, several generations have been farming and reading heirlooms, Mo Quan was taught by his father when he was young, and he was sent to the private school in the village at the age of ten to study. When He Fang passed through Bozhou to give a lecture, Mo Quan was fascinated by it, he was also a newborn calf who was not afraid of tigers, and he came to the door to apprentice the next day, but he didn't expect to be really included in the door wall by He Fang. All this is like a dream for Mo Quan. Seeing Wuchang Hou today, Mo Quan had an unreal feeling, and secretly thought: "The back waves of the Yangtze River push the front waves, will my generation be able to help the world and save the people like Zhao Hou in the future?" ”

"How can a character who can retell the way of a gentleman be a reckless man." Liang Guocai shook his head, "I heard that Chen Xianggong, Cao Shangshu, Deng Shangshu, Wu Shangshu and Enshi are all classmates of Taixue Yizhai, and over time, this is no less than an anecdote about the four-phase hairpin." He said with some regret, "It's a pity that Bianliang fell, and most of the leaders in the states and states studied and adhered to the government, such as Shi Tingjian and other juniors, stayed in Benzhou, even if Taixue was rebuilt, there would be no more grand occasion when the heroes gathered." Although Zhu Sen and He Fang were determined to establish the rule that Donglin's personal disciples were not allowed to go out of office, and teachers and students in the lecture hall were not allowed to discuss current affairs, they had not yet gone to Wuxi at this time, and all the disciples were young people.

Yang Xiu said in a deep voice: "It is better to stay in the state and county to serve Sangzi than tens of thousands of redundant officials to stay in Bianliang and be moths of the country." When we read the books of the sages, we learn the principles of tomorrow and learn the way of a gentleman, and it is not in the court that we can only be useful. Confucius traveled around the world, repeatedly hit a wall, and the days of his emergence were numbered, wasn't he a saint? Preaching and teaching, opening up the wisdom of the people, upholding justice, helping the world and doing good, these things may not be able to do better. ”

Yang Xiu has been following Zhu Sen's side over the years, and his knowledge has grown greatly, and his temperament is much calmer than a few years ago. The matter of apprenticeship in the past was in front of him, Zhao Xingde also recognized him, and nodded to him slightly today, which made Yang Xiu a little ashamed. Compared with these disciples who started later, Yang Xiu seemed to be a senior brother, and he also knew a thing or two about Zhu Sen's plans, so he looked at the above quotation intentionally or unintentionally in his speech, although the disciples didn't understand why he made a comment, but what Yang Xiu said was reasonable, so they all nodded yes. Seeing that everyone didn't refute, Yang Xiu looked towards the Sijutang and sighed regretfully......

On the crane riding tower, when everyone was drunk, they guessed the boxing order, and they were drunk one by one, and finally Du Fujiao, who was still sober, and a few other people, helped Ding Ban and others to return to the dock sailor camp. In fact, this camp was just a vacant lot near the wharf to make a large school field, and some tents for officers and soldiers to stay were erected on the side of the school field, and a circle of antlers was erected outside the tent area, and thorns were tied between the antlers, which not only prevented thieves and wild dogs from entering the camp, but also prevented children from sneaking into the school yard to make trouble.

Every day when the sailors of the South China Sea are practicing, there are many children lying outside the antlers to watch the play, and there are even naughty ones, while watching, while wrapping cloth strips to break the thorns, and even cutting the thorns to make a hole that can be accessed, so that the sailors have to repair it every ten days. Because the camp of the sailor division will be set up in Guazhou in the future, the camp on the side of the state capital will be temporarily settled. Zhao Xingde stayed in Yangzhou, and others didn't know why, but Du Fujiao knew that the general was waiting for Mrs. Hou. If Mrs. Li had taken a boat from the Yellow River to the Grand Canal, all the way down the river, and everything went well, she would have arrived in Yangzhou in a short time.

Liu Zhijian held his waist knife in his hand, paced back and forth on the dock, and when he saw Du Fujiao, he asked, "Where is the general?" ”

"General?" Du Fujiao patted his stomach and burped, "He went to the county garden to enjoy the flowers with his old friends." He looked at Liu Zhijian's anxious face puzzled, "What's the matter?" Great Ogre Raid? Or is Liaogou going south again? Du Chuijiao smiled and patted Liu Zhijian's shoulder, "Don't worry, we're all covered!" He burped again, and the smell of alcohol went straight to Liu Zhijian's shortcomings, causing him to frown. Alas! Liu Zhijian sighed, "Big deal! It's bigger than Liaokou going south! ”

"What?" Du Fujiao's eyes widened, "It can't be a war between the two countries, a lot of money to buy land, all of them are in vain." ”

"It's Madame's." Liu Zhijian looked left and right, and said in a low voice, "Mrs. Li's boat traveled to Bianliang, and I heard that the general and the princess were going to Ezhou together, so in a fit of anger, she immediately ordered the ship to stop, and changed to a boat that went upstream, and now I am afraid that she has returned to Luoyang." Now....." he sighed heavily. With a sad face, he didn't know how to explain to Zhao Xingde. Li Ruoxue's return is related to the agreement between the Song State and the Xia State, and it stands to reason that the March Department and the Military Intelligence Department should send someone over to explain it clearly, but it is difficult for the Qing officials to cut off family affairs, and no one is willing to take care of this errand, so only a message has been transmitted.

"Huh?" Du Blowhorn's mouth was so wide that he could put down an egg, "He, don't they persuade him either?" ”

"Persuade? How to persuade? Liu Zhijian glared, sighed, and said, "It is said that the people from the March Department and the Military Intelligence Department have persuaded them, and even the Cao Military Department of the Song State is an old friend of the general, but what is the use?" The marching division was worried about affecting major events, and had been hoping to persuade him to turn back, but Mrs. Li lived in Bianliang for half a month and returned to Luoyang. Alas—his grandmother's, there is no room for redemption in this matter, and the marching division has only informed us. He shook his head in annoyance and said secretly, "These bastards, they shouldn't have done it on purpose, right?" ”

"yes." Du Blowhorn shook his head and sighed, "Such a gentle and gentle person is such a fierce person. ”

When he was a guest in the Zhao Mansion in Dunhuang, he had met Mrs. Li, but now he didn't know what to say. According to Xia Law, if a man marries a new love without the permission of his wife, the wife can ask for a break from the marriage and get most of the family property, and second, appeal to the protector and ask the government to force the man to leave the new love. In a situation like Zhao Xingde, it is difficult for the Xia State Government to interfere, and Mrs. Li's decision to turn around and leave like this is quite worrying.

Sure enough, when Zhao Xingde returned to Dongguan Wharf and learned the news from Liu Zhijian, he was immediately shocked.

"Except for the clerk of the marching division," he was silent for a moment, and then asked, "does Madame have any letters?" ”

"Nope." Liu Zhijian replied truthfully, "Only this one was sent over." He took out the official letter from his arms, Zhao Xingde took it, read it from beginning to end, and when he saw Li Ruoxue hearing about the situation here, he ordered to stop the boat and get off the boat, he let out a long sigh. When we met in the Li Mansion, it seemed that it was still yesterday, Bianliang uncovered the case, and had no hesitation to go all the way, after escaping to the Xia Kingdom, that smart and bright woman, who had been guarding the empty boudoir all the year round, raising her children with hard work, turned around and left.....

The breeze blew the letter and shook it slightly, as if sighing softly.

"It's me who bears Madame." Zhao Xingde took a deep breath and said gloomily, "In this case, let's go to Guazhou." ”

He folded the official letter of the marching division four times and put it in his bosom, as if a heavy stone was pressing down on his chest, and sighed. Liu Zhijian and Du Fujiao glanced at each other and replied yes in unison. At dawn the next day, the officers and soldiers of the Governor's Mansion of the South China Sea Naval Division, together with the 1,000 sailors and 1,000 firecrackers recruited by Huainan, took five large and small official ships and went straight down the river to Guazhoudu, which was also the northernmost port of anchorage and the camp of the South China Sea Naval Division.

Zhao Xingde left Yangzhou without waiting for Li Ruoxue, and under Zhao Huan's puzzled inquiry, she realized what was going on, and couldn't help frowning, and said in a low voice: "Sister Li is a little misunderstood, concubine, concubine, concubine ....." She choked up for a long time and couldn't speak. In the mouth of the imperial sister-in-law Zhu Ying, Li Ruoxue is also a very gentle and understanding person, she originally thought that after Li Ruoxue arrived in Yangzhou, she would not compete for the size, and only hoped that this would accept herself as one of Zhao Xingde's wives. Although Zhao Huan has heard many stories of competing for favor in the palace, after all, she is only about 20 people, and the situation is unexpected, and she can't help but feel a little overwhelmed.

"When it's time for a big meal, I'll go back to Luoyang to explain to Ruoxue," Zhao Xingde stroked her hair, feeling that it was because he was afraid or excited, Zhao Huan's body was trembling slightly, and he said in a low voice, "It's all my fault." Ruoxue is just angry with me. She's a very kind and tolerant person, so you don't have to worry too much. "Hmm." Zhao Huan agreed gently, leaned his head on Zhao Xingde's chest, and heard him sigh heavily.

Zhao Xingde was accompanied by a beautiful woman, and when he thought of the loneliness of the empty boudoir in the distance, a feeling of guilt surged in his heart. When he came to this era, although he saw many situations of three wives and four concubines, in his heart, such a situation was difficult to accept calmly. By mistake, the marriage was wrong, but I was very sorry for Mrs. With his understanding of Li Ruoxue, she is soft on the outside and strong on the inside, so she was angry and turned around and left. However, she is not a ruthless person, as long as she explains tactfully, she should be able to get Mrs. forgiveness, but the knot between each other is not known how to untie it.
