Chapter 15 I want you to be a person
I don't know why, Liu Xiaoye also wants to see Dong Zhongshu again. Dong Zhongshu's body not only has the appearance of a fairy wind and bones, but also has an approachable sense of intimacy, especially listening to him speak slowly and logically, but every sentence is very beneficial.
"Mom, they're coming." Liu Xiaoye was also a little anxious, and immediately called pure to the baby, "Pure to the baby, the housekeeping will be sorted out for a while, let's make tea first." ”
Seeing that the mother and daughter were in a hurry, Chun Yu Ying was also infected, and she ran out non-stop. She moved quickly, divided the teacup by two, and waited for the arrival of the guests.
As expected, the cacophony was their arrival. Xue Yi politely invited Dr. Dong into the VIP room, and then introduced his owner first, saying, "This is the owner of our Green Leaf Tea House, Liu Zhuang Owner. Then he introduced the distinguished Dr. Dong, "This is Dr. Dong from our Chang'an." ”
Master Liu politely bowed and nodded to Dr. Dong and invited him to sit above. ,
Lord Liu's gaze did not take his eyes off Dr. Dong. Is this Dong Zhongshu back then? Dong Zhongshu, who was in his twenties at the time, was young and promising, handsome and chic, although he still looks like him now, he is already a long beard and an old man......
Dong Zhongshu has distinct facial features, and his angular face is handsome; The two thick eyebrows also rippled softly, as if they were always smiling, curved like the first quarter moon in the night sky. The fair skin is set off by the pale pink lips, and there is always a dazzling smile, which is a Confucian appearance full of tenderness, so charming. There is also a black and dense hair, and a pair of slender peach blossom eyes under a pair of sword eyebrows, full of affection, which makes people fall into it if they are not careful......
The willow leaves are young Dong Zhongshu, and then look at him in front of him, he is indeed old...... In fact, I am also old, and I was just a fifteen or sixteen-year-old girl back then...... Now the wrinkles are starting to creep up on the face.
Dr. Dong sat down after thanking him, glanced at the owner of Liuzhuang, and then at Xueyi, and then asked, "You both wear veils, it seems that your face is not hurt, is there any way to say it?" ”
The owner of Liu Zhuang only looked at Dong Zhongshu and thought deeply, where did he know how to reply?
The clever Xueyi, seeing the owner of the village walking through the club, took over the conversation and said: "We don't wear veils when our faces are sad, here we are the customs of minority ethnic groups in the Minyue Mountains." Our custom is that unmarried girls do not wear veils, and married women wear veils. ”
Dr. Dong is strange, there is still such a custom? So, he was very humble and shamelessly asked, "What is why?" ”
Xueyi continued to explain: "The unmarried girl is waiting for the young man to choose, so there is no need to wear it. A married woman already has a home and can only be seen by her own man, so she has to wear a veil when she goes outside or meets people. ”
"Sounds reasonable." Dr. Dong is erudite and talented, but this custom is the first time he has heard of it, "but it also brings some inconvenience, if it is an acquaintance, how can you know if you don't take off the veil?" ”
"Yes, there is a problem. But it is generally acquaintances, and women who wear veils will introduce themselves to others. ”
Dr. Dong joked, "Do I know the two of you?" ”
Xue Yi didn't know Dong Zhongshu, so he blurted out. At this time, the owner of Liu Zhuang trembled in his heart. She didn't dare to speak, just shook her head.
One said he didn't know him, and the other shook his head, probably neither of them knew him. Dr. Dong said words of gratitude: "Master Liu, thank you so much. We have never been faceless, but you have been so kind to us. We're just here for a tour, and we can't help you much, but I want to make it clear that we must pay this housing fee. ”
Now Liu Luye is no longer the young and shy she was back then, and she no longer has to blush when she speaks. Now she wants to convince Dr. Dong to make this her home and stay a few more days.
"Dr. Dong, you don't have to pay for this housing, and I don't have to pay for it; With your student Wang Xinru here, are you afraid that no one will pay for the room? This tea house and inn belong to your student Wang Xinru, he just doesn't pay, and when the time comes, I will deduct it when I pay the rent. But I'm in charge of what I eat and drink here these days. Each of the ten bowls is the famous tea of Guangling City. The famous tea of Guangling City allows you to eat enough. Drinking tea wants you to drink our Minyue's Wuyi famous tea, which makes you feel comfortable and healthy, and you don't want to leave Guangling City. Eat well and drink good tea, but I also have requirements. ”
The owner of Liu Zhuang took out the style of doing business and started business directly with Dr. Dong.
Dr. Dong didn't want to eat or drink, he just wanted to know what she wanted: "Master Liu, you are worthy of doing business." I don't know the price of famous tea in Guangling City, but I know a little about the Wuyi tea you said. It was used to pay tribute to the emperor and the kings, and it was a lot of money to drink Wuyi tea here for a few days. What are you going to ask us for such a price? ”
Liu Luye asked Dong Zhongshu for this sentence, and she had a saying: "If it is calculated according to the price, it is a lot of money." However, I don't want money. I want you as a person. ”
Speaking of this, Liu Luye stopped and watched Dr. Dong's reaction.
I saw Dr. Dong's face look surprised, and his unbelievable expression was revealed. Liu Luye seems to have seen Dong Zhongshu's inner world, why do you want me to be a person? I'm an old guy.
Xueyi was also surprised. Unexpectedly, the owner was still very bold, and he dared to speak out, admiring and admiring in the face of men.
Although Liu Xiaoye also heard it, she seemed to feel that there was still nothing to say about it, and she was waiting for her mother to say the following.
is worthy of being the daughter of Liu Luye.
Liu Luye looked at everyone's reactions before saying, "I want you to stay in our Green Leaf Tea House for a few more days." I heard my daughter say that you don't accept female disciples, but I just want to ask you to give a few lessons to our staff and talk about Confucianism, do you think it's okay? ”
Dong Zhongshu didn't expect that she would think of learning Confucianism as a Minyue woman, it seems that this female businessman has an extraordinary brain. I'll have to ask what she thinks.
Dong Zhongshu stroked his long beard and asked slowly: "What is the purpose behind you spending such a big price to invite me to class?" ”
Liu Luye didn't hide it, so she said her purpose: "Don't hide it from everyone, as far as I know, the emperor wants to promote Confucianism and prepare to 'depose a hundred schools of thought and respect Confucianism alone'." As a businessman, how can I do a good business if I don't go ahead in my thinking? I have also heard that your 'Five Constants' benevolence, righteousness, propriety, wisdom and faith are very instructive for doing business, and if I master the essence of your Five Constants, my business will not be like a tiger......
Speaking of this, Xiao Er came in with Wang Xinru. Xiao Er saw Dong Baoling Shu and said, "Do you think the owner is Dr. Dong?" Am I lying to you? ”
Wang Xinru didn't dare to think about it, rubbed his eyes, pinched his arm again, and said to himself: "I'm not dreaming, am I? ”
Dong Zhongshu saw Wang Xinru, although he was not the young man he was back then, his appearance still hadn't changed.
Seeing that it was Wang Xinru, Dong Zhongshu responded: "Xinru, this is not a dream, I am Dong Zhongshu." ”
confirmed that it was really a teacher, Wang Xinru couldn't speak anymore, his mouth was deflated, and tears rolled in his eyes. When the first tear fell, Wang Xinru didn't care how many people were present, he knelt down with his feet bent: "Teacher, I really miss you, I finally see you again......"
Dong Zhongshu saw that Xinru was so excited, he also stood up and helped Wang Xinru up: "Xinru, you get up and sit down first, sit down and let's talk well." ”
Seeing such an exciting scene, Liu Luye wanted to leave time between their teachers and students to catch up on the old days, so he excused himself and said: "I still have some things, so I won't bother your teachers and students to catch up." After you catch up, go directly to the dining room, I have already asked someone to prepare the meal, and you can drink a few glasses of Guangling's rice wine. If you have anything, just tell this tea girl directly, and she will be in charge of your daily affairs. ”
After Liu Luye finished speaking, he took Xueyi and Liu Xiaoye away.
