Early in the morning, Cao Xiang woke up. ???? Huoran? Wen?? ｗ?ｗ?ｗ?．?

crawled out of a pile of white and tender limb entanglements, ** leaned over to look at the red sun outside the window.

He couldn't remember how long it had been since he had seen the rising sun.

Today's Chaoyang is more beautiful than the Chaoyang in my memory, and the red is like a lip that has been smeared with rouge.

A beautiful goblin-like orchid wrapped around like a snake, and Cao Xiang smiled: "I don't have the strength anymore." ”

Hu Ji could understand Cao Xiang's words, and brought him a bowl of hot mutton soup very considerately.

Cao Xiang looked at the baby sheep in the bowl, sighed, and drank the soup and ate the meat.

After washing, he went down to the Wanhua Pavilion with Shi Shiran.

His generals followed him, all of them looked very energetic, and last night, when Cao Xiang was ridiculous, the generals were guarding him.

Nirvana is a city that never sleeps, and it is also a city that does not know what rest is.

The traces of luxurious life at night have not yet dissipated, and a new noisy day has arrived.

The lazy woman opened the door with a bucket, washed in the small canal at the door, and then returned to the house yawning.

After a while, the door opened again, and the sleepy-eyed child walked out of the house with a schoolbag on his back, and walked listlessly towards the school.

There was already a long queue in front of the vendors selling hot soup and hot wontons, and everyone had a word calling out what they had seen yesterday.

A bowl of hot mutton soup wasn't enough to keep Cao Xiang satisfied, so he searched for a vendor with the most people in line.

The generals drove away some diners and waited for Cao Xiang to sit down.

A bowl of hot wontons, two crispy fritters, and a large bowl of tofu flowers once again entered Cao Xiang's stomach.

After wiping his oily mouth, Cao Xiang raised his head again, and the sun rose less than a zhang.

It's just not as red as it looks just now.

The humid heat wave rose from the ground, and after a while, Cao Xiang was sweating, he pushed away the big umbrella in the hands of the generals, took off his hat, and walked down the street bareheaded.

Since talking to Huo Quzhi yesterday, he feels that he has lost a lot over the years, he has been intriguing all day long, living tremblingly, and he really hasn't seriously seen this new world that he has participated in creating.

After the sun rose a foot, there was a rapid sound of door panels colliding.

At this hour, it is the day when the bank opens its door, and every gatekeeper will open the door on time at this time.

After removing the door panel, four samurai dressed in blue clothes streamed out of the gate, naturally divided into two rows, holding the hilt of their swords, standing outside the door like Shi Wenzhong.

Then, out of the door of each bank, there will be a shopkeeper who is either fat, or thin, or not fat or thin.

The smiles on everyone's faces were bright, showing their eight teeth in unison, and they gracefully hugged their fists to congratulate their peers on their prosperous business today.

Cao Xiang walked sideways across the streets of Qianzhuang, and the shopkeepers bent down in unison, hoping that this distinguished person could enter his own Qianzhuang.

When passing by his own bank, Cao Xiang didn't raise his eyelids, ignoring the disappointed eyes of the shopkeeper, and continued to walk towards Taixue Street.

Naturally, there is a flower building opposite Taixue that is even bigger than Wanhualou, which is the industry of Shuzhong businessmen.

It is said that there is still a connection with the Yun family.

Therefore, Cao Xiang never went here.

However, he thinks that the shopkeeper of this flower building is very smart.

It is also a pair of wise eyes to open the flower building next to Taixue, after all, the people who like to go to the Qinglou the most, in addition to those who have been like Cao Xiang, are those amorous students in Taixue.

In the early morning, the women who slept late were still dreaming, but some of the Taixue had to force themselves to get up with the greatest perseverance.

The registration every morning is very important to them, and if they fail to do it twice, they will be cleared out of Taixue, which is a strict prohibition and cannot be violated.

Passing through a huge gate, even if Cao Xiang entered Taixue, there were tall willow trees on both sides of the road, and people walking on the road needed to constantly pick up the hanging willow branches.

This made Cao Xiang's hair a little disheveled, and a lock of hair hung down from his head, covering one of his eyes.

After crossing Yangliu Street, Cao Xiang's ears were filled with knowledge.

On the left there is the rhymed "New Book", on the right there is the sad and indignant "Tianwen", looking forward, someone is holding a book and walking alone, looking back, someone is holding a hammer rope and is observing the sun.

In any case, Cao Xiang, who was surrounded by learning, was still unhappy in his heart.

The lotus pond is in front of him, Cao Xiang dropped his family and jumped on a flat boat, and the boatman standing at the bow of the boat supported the penny, and the flat boat fluttered into the depths of the lotus flower.

There are fat geese, hemp ducks, groups of miscellaneous fish in the predatory water in the depths of the lotus flower, and occasionally encounter a big one, which will startle a large splash.

A group of late-walking swans flew up from the lotus pond with a splash, burrowed into the clear blue sky with oblique thorns, and soon turned into a black dot and flew to the far north.

Cao Xiang's eyes were sour, and he saw the swan go to the north, and was about to recite a poem, but the boat shook slightly, and he heard the boatman whisper: "Nobleman, I have arrived at Dong Gong's place." ”

Cao Xiang retracted his messy gaze, got off the boat with his hands behind his back, and Shi Shiran came to an old man with his back to him, took a breath, and sat down.

"In the past, Jiang Taigong fished on Weishui because he had ambitions and was difficult to reach, and Dong Gong fished Bixi in the early morning, what was it for?"

Dong Zhongshu, who was dismantled in a cloak, smiled and said, "Without him, I have a full stomach." ”

Cao Xiang said again: "Does Dong Gong know what I have experienced today?" ”

Dong Zhongshu said: "Every day, every day, every day, people should have something to gain every day, otherwise, wouldn't it be a waste of time?" ”

Cao Xiang wrenched his fingers and said: "A certain family stayed in Wanhualou last night, called Wanhua to sleep together, this morning, I crossed the entire rich city with my back to the rising sun, ate wontons, fritters, tofu flowers, saw the women who poured the bucket, saw the young children who went to the school, saw the Qianzhuang open the door, saw the students who returned from the Qinglou, and saw the swimming fish, lotus, fat goose, hemp duck, swan, after many disasters, this came to Dong Gong's side.

What can Dong Gong teach me? ”

Dong Zhongshu didn't look back and said: "The prince and the marquis are extremely rich, the honor has been extreme, the meritorious service has been extreme, and the fame is all over the world, today and the nightmare is traveling through the world as an immortal, and when I see the old man, my heart has stopped water, the prince and marquis who should experience this world have already experienced, and if you want to go further, you should start again!" ”

Cao Xiang was silent for a moment, shook his head resolutely, and said: "I finally came to this point, even if I am not happy, I can't go back."

Yun Lang said well, is it easy to take a step forward? Even if the road ahead is not easy, there are thorns and thorns, yes Ye also needs to go down step by step, even if it is a road to the dark, yes Ye does not regret it. ”

Dong Zhongshu sneered: "If you want to go further, you must let Your Majesty go further, otherwise, Your Majesty will be the end of your path."

If you want Your Majesty to go further, then you must seal Mount Tai, burn the table and sacrifice to the sky, and tell the world that my emperor has far surpassed the three emperors and five emperors in his meritorious deeds, and should enter the throne of the great emperor.

In this way, I wait for those who bend over and persist in the world, so that we have room to straighten our backs. Does the prince think so? ”

Cao Xiang nodded and said: "That's right, the first two invitations were led by Dong Gong, and this third time I advised Your Majesty to seal Mount Tai, how about we take the lead?" ”

Dong Zhongshu laughed and said, "Is the prince ready to be greedy for heaven for himself?" ”

Cao Xiang said with a smile: "A certain family saw that Dong Gong seemed to have forgotten about this matter, so they had to volunteer. ”

Dong Zhongshu sighed and said: "Three pleases, Your Majesty will definitely agree, and you won't have to work hard for the prince." ”

As he spoke, Dong Zhongshu lifted the hook, and a one-foot-long red carp was lifted out of the water by him.

He was not busy taking the fish off the hook, but letting it struggle.

It was not until the carp gradually lost its strength that it was untied from the hook, threaded the gills with a few thatchs, put away the fishing rod, and carried the fish to the hut where he lived.

Cao Xiang stood up and shouted to Dong Zhongshu, who was about to enter the door: "Three days, three days later, I will ask Your Majesty to seal Mount Tai." ”

Dong Zhongshu laughed and said, "You don't dare! ”

"Why wouldn't I dare?"

"Because you don't deserve it!"

"A certain prince of the world!"

"Your Cao clan, Yun clan, and Huo clan want to ask Your Majesty to seal Mount Tai, and you may have this qualification in another hundred years."

Cao Xiang sighed and said, "Since you know that everyone's life is miserable, why can't you lift the roof for everyone as soon as possible, so that we can all straighten up and live?" ”

Dong Zhongshu stopped at the door, looked back at Cao Xiang and said, "Unless you depose the hundred schools and respect Confucianism!" ”
