On the fourth day of the first month of April, the Qingming Festival arrives, and it is rainy and cloudy.

On that day, after sweeping the tomb, Gao Si traveled, rode slowly on horseback, and accompanied two guards and three girls on the left and right.

Traveling on horseback is for convenience. Although horses are military supplies, the people have long been rich and noble in the 30 years since the founding of the emperor and the Sui Dynasty, and there are not a few people who use carriages to travel.

This time I went to see Mr. Xu, and it was even more polite to arrive early.

Of course, Xu Xiaohui, Hongfu Nu and Wang Ying are riding in the same carriage, and Gao Kaidao and Shi Danai will follow behind, one of them drives the carriage, and the other is not fast in rotation.

About the matter of the mayor of Mali, Gao Si sent people into the city that day and Li Baiyao briefly told the origin of the whole story, after the other party heard it, although he was worried that there would be another twist and turn in the matter of the foreign marquis, but think that Gao Si is the thirteenth Taibao in Yang Suyi's son, and he has the eyes of the prince of the country, Ma Changqing's Shangguan has no credentials and will not chase after him, so he accepted the gift and dotted it around, and repeatedly told him not to act recklessly at the feet of the Son of Heaven in the future.

Gao Si knew that the other party was afraid of the power of the marquis, so he wrote a letter of thanks again and promised to do so, and finally suppressed the matter without shock.

At this time, the light dust was washed away by the rain, and the willow color beside the road was renewed. Walking along a straight road, although the road is not wide, but you can see the red willow green, and the breeze blows to make people intoxicated.

Mr. Xu's study is called Yunmengju.

There were seven or eight miles to the place where Mr.'s private school was, and Le Ma walked slowly, and it didn't take long to reach the door half a mile away.

In order to show respect, a horse-drawn carriage was placed in the search place, and the high horses and others dismounted and walked.

When I arrived at the door of the study, it was already halfway through the morning.

The outermost is a large wooden fence thatched cottage, but the backyard is a garden and vegetable patch, while Mr. Xu is fiddling with orchids.

Confucius once said: Lan was born in the deep forest, and he is not fragrant without people; A gentleman cultivates morality and does not change his temper for hardship.

Gao Si swept at a glance, only to see that the orchids have not yet opened, but there are also spring orchids, Hui orchid, Jianlan, Mo Lan, Han orchid, Jindee orchid all kinds of orchid branches and leaves are different, as if to depict the future of the orchid scroll.

"Mr. is here, meet the student Gao Si!" Gao Si bowed calmly on his face, but he was actually surprised in his heart.

I saw that in the soft spring sun in the morning, a middle-aged linen scribe was distributing orchids in the garden.

Gao Si took up the magical power to investigate, only to see that the middle-aged man had a layer of green, yellow, red, black, and white five-color light curtains, which were spread all over the body and converged on the top.

Monks?

Mr. Xu, whose name is Wenyuan, is a native of Luoyang Yanshi, was born in Jiangnan, grew up in the Xiongnu, and became famous in the Great Sui. In his previous life, he was a registered disciple of this person. I didn't know his true face, but according to historical records, he successively accepted Yang Liang, the king of Han, Yang Xuangan, the king of Wei, the master of Wei, Wang Shichong, the king of Zheng, Wang Shichong, and the great Xu Tianziyu culture and five anti-king overlords as apprentices.

It's a pity that the will of heaven is unpredictable, and Master Li and Wang Shichong both lose, and the most annoying thing is that Li Yuan and his son in Guanzhong pick up the cheap.

After the failure of Fulongting, he had to surrender to the Tang Dynasty, and he was humiliated by Louguandao in the west and died with hatred. Temporary oral occupation of the fateful word: Qiankun is not allowed to belong to Li Tang, and Fulong is straight and decides to survive. If the British lord enters Luoyang, the lonely city can still be the enemy of the Ming king.

What he regretted the most was that his proud disciple Li Mi failed to conquer the eastern capital Luoyang, resulting in his own plan being in vain.

In other words, all the masters and apprentices of the descendants have to kowtow to serve tea, and the qi is interconnected, while the named disciples do not have much constraint on each other, and they are separated by fate.

"It's Gao Si, oh, you're here." Xu Wenyuan got up and looked back, first surprised, and then his eyes lit up, only to see Gao Si wearing a magi crown, wearing a white robe sleeve shirt, standing with a sword, his demeanor was calm and resolute, and even his eyes were not as godless as before, but there was a faint triangular fierce light emerging, as if he was both civil and military.

After a month of absence, his temperament and appearance changed greatly, giving birth to an indescribable solemnity and majesty.

"Give a salute to the teacher." Gao Si (Si) said, and asked Gao Kaidao and Shi Danai to move the gifts into the house - eight horses of silk, five baht and 100 yuan, and a few rice grains and meat.

Xu Wenyuan suppressed the doubts in his heart and said with a smile: "Go to the inner hall to talk." And the gift was accepted.

When I arrived in the back room, the guest of honor sat down, and my own children entered the fragrant tea. After the topic opened, Gao Si (Si) got straight to the point and said: "Sir, I came this time to sincerely worship you as a teacher. By the way, let you officiate the disciple marry. ”

"Oh, what's the reason, let's talk about it first!" Xu Wenyuan picked up the teacup, took a sip, and carefully observed the changes in his disciples. If you don't see January, you will be very easy, and there must be something strange inside.

"This time he was seriously injured in the army, but fortunately he made a contribution with the help of the general, and was appointed by the Duke of Chu as the captain of Zhongwulang from Qipin, and after reporting from the Eastern Capital, he was given a position of Qianniu Reserve. But the soldiers were in danger, and the students were really terrified. My father asked me to abandon martial arts, and this time I came to visit Mr., but I also hoped to really worship under Mr., listen to the teachings, and hope that Mr. can fulfill one or two, and I feel deeply gracious. "Gao Si (to speak).

I went to meet Mr. Xu this time, for two purposes, one is to sincerely study again, and the other is to give Xu Xiaohui a name and cut off the hidden danger of the Son of Heaven draft.

Although Xu Wenyuan cultivated the grassland, his reputation as a great Confucian was spread all over the world, especially proficient in Zuo's Spring and Autumn Period, and he was promoted at home, and he was called Xu and Wang Tong on the same level as another great Confucian king.

But there was no chance to recruit, and later the senior brother and the second senior brother were all attributed to Li Chengye, and they held important positions everywhere, one for the imperial history of Zhongcheng, the other for the prefect, and made great contributions to the governance of the King of Shu.

However, he didn't fall into Mr. Xu's eyes in the past, and originally wanted to get one or two. But now that Xu Wenyuan is a magic monk, his heart is completely cold.

The other party covered up Taoism with the face of Confucianism, and he was a peerless master, and he would not change his words easily.

Unexpectedly, Mr. Xu pondered for a while, and then relented and agreed: "The experience is good, I can accept you as an apprentice." ”

Gao Si (Si) thanked again and again: "Teacher, thank you for helping me this time." ”

Hurriedly served tea, kowtowed, and bowed to the teacher.

Xu Wenyuan looked like a strict teacher, and when the etiquette was over, his eyes that had been squinting widened suddenly, staring at Gao Si's face for a long time and then sighing.

Just when everyone else didn't know why this Mr. Xu sighed, Mr. Xu finally spoke: "Gao Si, do you really worship me as a teacher?" ”

"Yes, Teacher." Gao Si replied sincerely.

"Okay, then the teacher will save your life." Mr. Xu suddenly spoke in surprise.

"Disciple, thank you, teacher."

"Don't be in a hurry to thank me just yet. The teacher asked you, I heard that you killed the Ma family? That Ma Changqing is a foreign marquis, playing the secret book of the Son of Heaven, one bright and one dark, but all of them have been intercepted? If you cut it all off, your whole family is now in a place of life and death. Don't hide it, tell the truth. Mr. Xu said sternly.

Gao Si was shocked.

The official recital of the foreign marquis turned out to be two copies, one bright and one dark? On that day, the Red Whisk Girl was on guard outside, and with a little trickery, she killed the messenger and grabbed the secret music. Who would have thought that there would be a dark copy?

Even so, the Red Whisk Girl did her best.

He thought that Luoyang City had already been completed, and he didn't want to have a huge hidden danger.

"The disciple is reckless, I beg the master to save my whole family, and the grace of life, the student is grateful." Gao Si fell into a catastrophe due to a moment of soft-heartedness and had to ask Mr. Xu for help.

Since Mr. Xu said that there is a way to save lives, there must be a means to deal with it.

"That's good, it's better to hit the day than to choose a day, and the teacher will seal a letter and bring it back to your uncle Xu Deyan!" As Mr. Xu spoke, he stood up, went to the desk, and wrote a document in an instant.

Then it was stamped and sealed with fire paint.

"A letter to my Daddy?" Xu Xiaohui was surprised.

"You don't have to ask, Xu Deyan will tell you the reason when he sees the letter." Mr. Xu waved off.

"Thank you, teacher!" Gao Si understood what Mr. Xu meant, took it respectfully, and said, "The disciple wants to resolve the crisis at home as soon as possible, so let's go first." Come back another day. ”

"Go ahead!" Xu Wenyuan waved his hand and turned around.

Gao Si took the letter into his arms, took a few steps back, saluted again, and led the person away. When he arrived outside the door, he smiled at Xu Xiaohui and said, "Go to your house!" ”

After a pause, he asked again, "Do you want to prepare some gifts for your father-in-law first?" ”

"Nasty!" Xu Xiaohui blushed and said angrily: "People haven't married you yet." ”

Gao Si was very proud, urging everyone to return, and laughing along the way.

At noon, everyone returned to Gao's house for dinner. Then Gao Si and Xu Xiaohui came to Xu's house alone, and there were only a few thatched huts. At this time, when I arrived at the door, I saw a middle-aged beautiful woman drying bamboo books and working hard, Gao Si hurriedly stepped forward to help, and said, "Auntie! ”

The middle-aged beautiful woman was startled at first, and then said, "Si'er is here." Xiaohui went to make tea for your brother. ”

Xu Xiaohui's mother is Princess Lechang of Nan Chen, the daughter of Emperor Xuan, and the sister of the queen. The appearance is dignified and beautiful, the manners are elegant, and it is rare to love poetry and literature, and he is the best at the age of sixteen.

After becoming an adult, he personally chose a husband and met Xu Deyan, a talented son in Jiangnan, and after marriage, the two husbands sang and followed their wives, becoming a natural couple that everyone envied at that time.

Unexpectedly, Empress Chen was incompetent, and Yang Kaihuang appointed Yang Su as the commander to lead the army to destroy Chen.

When the country was ruined and the family was destroyed, Princess Lechang opened a mirror and held half of it with her husband Xu Deyan, and made an appointment as a token of reunion in the future.

Yang Su was suave, and after returning to the dynasty after victory, he accepted Princess Lechang as a concubine, and was very favored.

It's a pity that this southern beauty often washes her face with tears, and after Yang Su heard it, he couldn't help but sigh and said: "I'll let you break the mirror and reunite." ”

Then let Princess Lechang out of the house and let her be with her ex-husband Xu Deyan.

Xu Deyan has been living in the Quartet for ten years, taking Xu Xiaohui to live a difficult life, and supporting his family by copying books and working for others.

Five years ago, their family was exiled here, and with the help of Gao Si's father, they settled down in the Jiama camp. Gao Si and Xu Xiaohui became a pair of two little guesses in this way.

The middle-aged woman who abandoned her status as a princess and returned to an ordinary person cherishes her current life and is very satisfied with Gao Si.

At this time, the door of the house opened, and Xu Deyan walked out, with a solemn face, and said to Gao Si: "It is your creation to be able to worship under Xu Changyuan's door." Bring the letters! ”

Xu Deyan is fifty-two years old, he is fifteen years older than Princess Lechang, and he was wandering in all directions in his early years, so he looks very old. But there is a wisdom that understands the vicissitudes of the world.

In recent years, Lao Xu is herding cattle, and he also cares about his daughter very much, or let Xu Xiaohui read, and write the books he has read in his life to teach his daughter.

has been like this for five or six years, but Xu Xiaohui has also been taught to be gentle and virtuous.

Xu Deyan also treats Gao Si as a son-in-law on weekdays, and he still took the word Si, which means think twice before acting.

It's just that as soon as Xu Deyan read the letter, he stood up and pointed at Gao Si viciously: "Rabbit cub, get out of here!" Get lost! The old man has never seen a shameless person like you! ”

The red-eyed posture seems to be about to hit someone if he doesn't agree with him.
