The literati of the Great Song Dynasty were also divided into two types, and the orthodox scholars were those who took the imperial examination route or who had become officials. The biggest problem of this kind of person is that they are disconnected and ungrounded, no matter what they say in the book, they can basically understand and understand it themselves, such as Su Zaifang.

There is also the so-called "barefoot" literati, who cannot enter the system for many reasons, cannot afford to take the exam, and have no chance to step into the real literati route, or become a second- or third-rate folk traveling doctor, or reduced to a tea shop storyteller. And it just so happens that although this kind of person is down-to-earth and can be accepted by the public, he likes to express his encouragement and admiration for chivalry and martial arts.

Let's not say who is right and who is wrong, in short, this group is almost tacitly opposed to the government and the orthodox literati. This is Cai You's dilemma.

After a little hesitation, Cai You still called his subordinates in and said, "Check it, who is the original "Lanruo Temple" from?" ”

"I understand my humble duties, please rest assured."

The subordinates hurriedly went......

"The food at the master's house is so delicious, Xiao Yu'er really likes to eat at the master's house."

Liang Hongyu put her little face in a big bowl and ate it violently, and said, "But my mother asked me not to eat too much, and she said that she might not be able to give the master enough food this year." ”

Zhao Cheng took off the rice grains on her face and stuffed them into her mouth, touching her little brain, "If you want to eat, you can eat, these are my and your mother's business." ”

Chen Meiniang is used to saving, and this is not her own daughter, so although she likes this little girl very much, she is also a little distressed.

At this time, the door was pushed open, and a man in a brocade robe came in, who was obviously not a public door, but had the posture of an official eunuch, looking like a retainer working beside an important official.

Chen Meiniang saw that this kind of person wanted to avoid suspicion, put down her job, and went out with little Lorifu. There is only one room, and there is no inner hall to "avoid".

The brocade-robed man walked around the room with his hands behind his back before he sat down, took a piece of meat and put it in his mouth to eat, and said, "In Xia Cai Jiu, this time it was sent by Lord Zhizhou. ”

But I didn't see Zhao Cheng, this guy bowed his head. Zhao Cheng just looked at the meat on the plate with a black line on his face, and he wasn't sure if he wanted to hide the meat?

Cai Jiu had to clap his hands, and immediately two family members came in with burdens.

Cai Jiu said: "These are some dry goods, bacon, pastries, and wine that Lord Zhizhou ordered me to send. ”

"What do you want me to do?" Zhao Cheng said curiously.

"Lord Zhizhou just asked you to go."

……

was led into the backyard of the state government by Cai Jiu.

Walking between the paths arranged in the small garden, she happened to meet Miss Cai in green, and she was surprised that Su Zai Fang Gongzi was by her side.

"What are you doing here?" Miss Cai's attitude when she saw this guy became very strange.

Zhao Cheng shook his head decisively and said, "I don't know below, but it was called by Lord Zhizhou." ”

Miss Cai said with a surprised and unhappy look, "Okay...... It turns out that the paper that bewitched my father, and the script "Lanruo Temple" came from your hands? ”

"Miss Guan's tone, is this a bad thing?" Zhao Cheng was a little confused about her attitude.

Miss Cai stared at Zhao Cheng for a long time with a pair of bright eyes, "Maybe it's really a bad thing." ”

Zhao Cheng inevitably had a little good impression of this strange young lady, and he was too lazy to bird her.

I didn't see him make amends, and I didn't see him ask why it was a bad thing?

Miss Cai rarely encountered such a thing, and a trace of anger flashed on her beautiful face, "At the beginning, this girl was really attracted by your story, and I felt amazing, and I felt that you were very talented and talented. ”

"And then?" Zhao Cheng asked.

Miss Cai's voice was significantly raised, "I only understand now, you are full of scheming, that unambitious paper came from your hands, and it was obviously made to cater to today's temples and my father's ideas." Look at your character when you were outside the city to collect money to 'save me,' and ......"

At this point, she paused, glanced at Su Zaifang, and said to Zhao Cheng: "I suddenly feel that you are a little pitiful, and you are a person who cares about any affairs." ”

"Ran goose, this is just Cai Xiaoniang's personal opinion." Zhao Cheng lowered his head neither humbly nor arrogantly.

"You dare to be yin and yang weird to Miss Cai's family, it's really disrespectful!"

Su Zaifang, who had seen him unpleasant earlier, took the opportunity to behave and took a few steps closer.

Zhao Cheng frowned and took two steps back to avoid him.

Su Zaifang laughed and said: "Coward, looking at your half-hung and lame papers, you know your personality, if you are not righteous enough to read, and you don't want to serve the country and worry about the people, then what is the use of your reading?" Blindly retreating and shrinking your head, this son wants to ask where is your backbone? ”

Su Gongzi is really good at talking, this is exactly what Miss Cai is thinking, what Miss Cai wants to hear. At the same time, it is also the idea of Zhang Ji.

Miss Cai looked at Zhao Cheng curiously, subconsciously hoping that he could say something different?

Zhao Cheng clenched his fists as if he was smiling: "Then Zhao dares to ask, as the embodiment of beauty and wisdom, righteousness and backbone, what have you done, Master Su?" ”

Who's ......

Miss Cai was stunned, and accidentally remembered that Su Zaifang, this guy usually mainly croaks and says with his mouth, if you want to theorize, he really hasn't done anything.

Thinking of the almost stupid bitter meat plan last time, that incident was also Miss Cai's own battle without knowing the seriousness, and Su Zaifang, who came up with the idea, didn't have the courage.

was questioned like this, causing Su Zaifang's face to blush, "At least this son is not as shameless as you." ”

Zhao Cheng blinked his eyes and said a little softer, "The point is, why does Su Gongzi think that catering to Shangyi is a bad thing?" ”

Miss Cai paused for a while, and said based on rebellious thinking: "According to what you Zhao Cheng said, regardless of whether it is good or bad, this kind of spineless and righteous behavior is worth advocating?" ”

Zhao Cheng bowed slightly, "I didn't say that this is worth advocating." I just think that contradicting the will of the upper authorities will lead to policy distortion and political division, which is even more bad. From ancient times to the present, there have been countless people and cases of good intentions doing bad things, but bad intentions have done good things. What's more, you can't tell which is good and which is bad, almost all the time, can you? ”

Miss Cai snorted again, "Then you mean, regardless of blindly obeying?" ”

Zhao Cheng thought about it for a while, and said with a smile, "I don't know if I have shallow knowledge about this." Zhao Cheng thought that if someone could really figure out and solve this problem, then the current country name would still be Xia, and there would be no change of dynasty. This question has nothing to do with right or wrong, it's just a multiple-choice question, just like going into a casino to press the size, either lose or win. ”

Miss Cai hesitated for a moment and gave up continuing to argue.

This doesn't mean that she recognizes Zhao Cheng, it's just that after such a comparison, she found that Zhao Cheng is a strange person, at least in this debate, whether it is temperament or insight, Su Zaifang is really a grade behind this person.

At the door of the study not far away, Cai You twisted his beard and listened to a few young people pulling calves for a while. Cai You, who was already interested in Zhao Cheng, was pleasantly surprised, especially when he liked to listen to Zhao Cheng.

So, Cai You hurriedly walked over before Su Zaifang was angry and said with a smile, "Su Jiaxian's nephew, please take care of yourself, Zhao Cheng is a person invited by Benzhou, and he has something to inquire about." ”

Su Zaifang was very helpless, and watched Zhao Cheng and Cai You enter the study with a look of disgust......
