Chapter 6 Joy and Sorrow

After Dong Zhongshu left, Mrs. Dong first sat at the stone table in the courtyard and was stunned. Lu Bushu saw his wife's lost soul, and wanted to comfort her, but then when she thought about her wife's acute son, even if she was comforted, it might not be effective, maybe it would backfire and make her even more blocked.

Lu Bushu's wife, seeing that her husband wanted to talk to his wife, quietly asked, "What's wrong with my wife?" ”

Lu Bushu also quietly told the teacher about the person who had just come to call the teacher, and told the lady not to disturb the teacher.

Soon after Mrs. Lu and Bu Shu got married, they treated their mother as a mother and respected her in every way; At the same time, I am also afraid that this master and wife, more things are better than less things, as long as I see that my wife does not have an accident, she sulks and lets her go.

Mrs. Dong was stunned at the stone table for a while, then stood up again, and walked back and forth in the courtyard, full of scenes of the emperor scolding her husband, and Mrs. Dong's head was about to explode.

Mrs. Dong stood and sat for a while, sat and stood for a while, restless. No matter what the state was, Dan repeatedly stared at the intersection in the distance, looking forward to Dong Zhongshu's return.

Mrs. Dong really looked through the autumn water, and finally saw a carriage driving out of the intersection, which made Mrs. Dong's heart quiet a little.

"Bu Shu, come and see if your teacher is back?" Mrs. Dong shouted into the room.

At this time, Bu Shu was no longer in the yard, and it was his son who came out. The son accompanied his mother to look at the carriage in the distance, and when he saw the carriage, he knew that it was a carriage from the palace, and it should have been sent back by the messenger.

The son comforted his mother: "It's the father who has returned, don't worry about it here." ”

Mrs. Dong didn't see her husband, but she was still not at ease: "My mind is full of the situation of the emperor punishing your father, your father will not be sent back after being punished, right?" ”

"How come, our emperor is very merciful, how can he punish our Confucian masters of the Han Dynasty." The son comforted his mother on his lips, but he didn't know if the emperor would have a whim, and it was not impossible to give his father's ass a top ten board when he was annoyed.

At this time, the family members all came out to watch, and everyone was uneasy, waiting for Dong Zhongshu's arrival.

At this time, Dong Zhongshu was almost home, and he woke up from his fright, and he was about to get home. Only then did he think of a question he wanted to know, how did the confessor know that he would talk about his wife?

"I'm glad I was here today, otherwise I would have been punished for both crimes. One is the crime of not wearing an official uniform and being disrespectful, and the other is that the wife didn't say that it is important to do things for the emperor without wearing an official uniform. Thank you so much. ”

Dong Zhongshu thanked him while bowing his hand, and asked, "How did you know that I was afraid of my wife to deceive the emperor?" ”

"Didn't I tell you, sometimes we stand outside for a long time, and when we have nothing to do, we eavesdrop on the emperor's words. The emperor is deliberating in this Qingliang Palace, and he is not very secretive to us confessors, so I know. ”

The confessor explained, Dong Zhongshu then understood what was going on.

After Dong Zhongshu understood, the confessor kindly persuaded Dong Zhongshu: "Dr. Dong, I have been by the emperor's side for a long time and know the emperor's character. Sometimes he is approachable, and sometimes he starts a fire that he doesn't recognize. I advise you not to challenge yourself in front of the emperor in the future, the emperor is moody, and sometimes he wants people's lives. ”

At this time, Dong Zhongshu should not have listened to the words of the confessor, otherwise a few years later, how would he dare to challenge the emperor with the two fires, implying that the emperor used rebellious ministers to cause God to be angry.

Who is the Emperor? His dignity, who would dare to provoke? As a result, Dong Zhongshu was put on death row, and the queen of the autumn asked to be beheaded!

As soon as Dong Zhongshu arrived at home, Mrs. Dong rushed to him, looked left and right, and saw if Dong Zhongshu had been punished.

Although he didn't find any injuries on Dong Zhongshu's body, he was still not at ease: "Is your ass on the board?" ”

Dong Zhongshu ignored his wife. Although the ass did not hit the board, the pain in my heart was more painful than the board. The father of the dead master actually recommended him to Jiangdu Kingdom, how can he swallow this breath?

Dong Zhongshu's face was gloomy.

Others are happy to see the emperor, Dong Zhongshu is good, this is like a dead father, is the emperor really want to dismiss his husband's doctorate position because of the official uniform.

"Husband, what happened to you and you were unhappy?" Mrs. Dong saw that Dong Zhongshu's face was wrong, and asked with concern.

"Happy, I'm very happy, the emperor rewarded me, why am I not happy?" Dong Zhongshu said the opposite.

When the lady heard that the emperor had rewarded her, where did she care about her husband's face, and she became happy: "The emperor rewarded you?" Reward your dwelling, or treasure of gold and silver? ”

Mrs. Dong is a woman, and she is also an ordinary woman. Women, think about women's little ninety-nine in everything.

"What kind of residence, gold and silver treasures, it is not an official." Dong Zhongshu was annoyed and explained weakly.

As soon as she heard that she was an official, her wife became excited: "Be an official? Have you been promoted? What officer? ”

Look at the lady excited.

"It's a promotion, it's not small, the minister of Jiangdu Kingdom, are you happy?" Dong Zhongshu didn't have the energy to be happy, he knew the inside story, he couldn't be happy.

"Really?" Madame couldn't believe it, and when she saw that her husband nodded again, she shouted: "Son, son, step Shu Bushu, you guys come quickly." ”

Mrs. Dong pulled her son: "Son, your father is going to Jiangdu to be the minister of state, you prepare quickly, see what you want to pack, we will go to Jiangdu with your father, Guangling City is a good place, rich in fish and rice, there is salt, iron and silk, I heard that the breakfast in the salt merchants is ten bowls ......"

Hearing the conversation between the father and the mother, seeing that the mother was so excited, the son didn't know how to comfort the mother for a while. He looked at his mother for a while before he said, "Mom, what are you happy about, I didn't hear my father's tone, where is there any joy." ”

The mother was excited, and when her son said it, she couldn't be happy, and asked suspiciously, "Why?" ”

The son is a scholar, and he followed his father in Chang'an to know a little about the princes and kingdoms of the Han Dynasty, so he explained to his mother: "Don't look at the rich area of Jiangnan in the Jiangdu region, the local mountains and rivers are beautiful, but the palace is not easy to stay." The king Liu Fei, with an arrogant temperament and a big temper, has not come to the court to report on his work since the king Liu Fei bowed down to Zhang Yan as the emperor; The crown prince Liu Jian is heinous, I heard that he has killed a lot of people. What's so good about letting my father go there and be the prime minister? Not on the waistband of the head? ”

Mrs. Dong just thought that Jiangdu was a good place, but she didn't expect that the king and the prince were Liu Fei and Liu Jian, so it was really a bad place to stay.

Mrs. Dong's eyes rolled, and she immediately changed her mind: "Then we won't go, you let the emperor find someone else." That master father has been promoted to three levels in a year, isn't he a very good official, let the emperor call him to go. ”

Dong Zhongshu is hard to say, he was recommended by the master father Yan to see the emperor and let him go to Jiangdu Kingdom!

The main task now is to gag the lady's mouth so that she does not make noise in her ears.

Dong Zhongshu calmed down and explained to his wife: "Now it's like this, if you don't let me go, I am resisting the decree, and the emperor will cut off my head; It is possible that Liu Fei or Liu Jian will cut off my head. If the emperor cuts off my head, I will be disloyal, and I will be killed by the emperor and have no pension or anything. If I go to Jiangdu and my head is really cut off by Liu Jian or Liu Fei, then I will die on the job, and my family will not only have a pension, but I can also adhere to my Confucian idea of 'loyalty'. Do you say I'm going or not going? ”

Mrs. Dong couldn't answer, and she didn't say anything, her hands kept rubbing, and she walked around the courtyard.

Dong Zhongshu saw that his wife was silent, and he was going to find Lu Bushu. After scanning around the compound, he didn't see Lu Bushu, so he asked, "Where is Bushu?" ”

Mrs. Dong said that she was still there just now, where to go? The son told Dong Zhongshu that Bu Shu greeted him and took his wife back to his aunt's house.

Lu Bushu's wife is the daughter of Dong Zhongshu's sister. When Mrs. Lu was young, she saw that Lu Bushu worshipped her uncle as a teacher and changed her name to Lu Bushu, so she decided to marry this young man.

Lu Bushu, this young man is a person with a lot of stories.

Lu Bushu was not called this name, he studied hard since he was a child, and one year he heard that there was a famous teacher named Dong Zhongshu in Guangchuan, and he decided to go to study with him. After obtaining the consent of his family, he said goodbye to his parents from Wen County, Henan Province all the way to apprentice, in the scholar's kung fu of tying horses, Lu Bushu has knelt at the feet of Dong Zhongshu to bow down, Dong Zhongshu saw that the young man was handsome, thick eyebrows and big eyes, the voice was like a bronze bell, the etiquette was thoughtful, and the smart Lingli happily accepted it.

In order to learn from Dong Zhongshu in the spring and autumn to follow in the footsteps of Dong Zhongshu, he changed his name to Bushu. Bu Shu made rapid progress in his studies and soon stood out from the crowd. Due to the overcrowding of students studying in the twilight and the lack of classrooms, Dong Zhongshu was too busy to sit on the ground in the open field. In desperation, Dong Zhongshu asked the high-talent students to teach on their behalf, and the high-talent students at this time were none other than Bushu.

At all times, the scriptures and the words of the saints should be serious, and the voice should have charm, board, and eyes; Lv Bushu learned from teacher Dong Zhongshu's recitation, tone, charm, high and powerful, and deafening feedback, which is the same as the teacher. Disciples often only listen to Dong Zhongshu's voice and do not seek Dong Mian, Dong Zhongshu recites through the curtain, and the students never know what the teacher looks like.

Dong Zhongshu liked this student very much, treated him as a son, lived in Dong Zhongshu for many years in Chang'an, and married his sister's daughter Xu to Lu Bushu.

These days, because my sister has something at home, I want him to help, and I may go to help again.
