Chapter 12: A Little Misunderstanding

The flower gang leader has a group named Huazi, who lives in an abandoned house on the upstream edge of the Guazhou ferry on the ancient canal, and there is a big camphor tree in front of the house. He asked Dong Zhongshu to go there, write a sign there, and tell his subordinates to go out and distribute the sign again.

Dong Zhongshu believed in the flower gang leader, and early the next morning, he took the tools designated by the flower gang leader to write knives and pens and rushed to the Guazhou ferry port of the ancient canal.

As soon as he arrived at the Guazhou Ferry, the flower gang leader Guo did not lose his words, and was waiting for Dong Zhongshu there, and took him to a thatched hut and began to write a notice sign.

On this day, Dong Zhongshu only carved. He carved several of them, and someone came to take them and spread them immediately. As a result, one by one the signs were passed to all corners of Guangling City through beggars. The notice said that there was a man named Wang Xinru, about thirty-six or seventeen years old, whose family used to be in the tea business, and anyone who provided clues about this person could go to an inn to receive a bounty. The payer is Dong.

Dong Zhongshu thinks that it is better to use a surname to settle the payment, and if Dong Zhongshu is settled, there may be some trouble.

Dong Zhongshu wrote a notice for the morning, and then returned to the inn, waiting for someone to come to the inn to receive the reward.

The method of the flower gang owner worked, and someone came to unveil the list in the afternoon after the notice was posted.

"Xiao Er, is there a guest officer from Dong who wants to find someone to live here?" When someone came, they asked the shopkeeper.

Xiao Er was very enthusiastic and led the visitor to Dong Zhongshu's house, saying that someone was looking for him.

When Dong Zhongshu was waiting for the unveiler in the house, a stranger came to him, and it was estimated that there was news of Wang Xinru.

Dong Zhongshu smiled, and immediately got up and stepped forward to greet him: "Young man, please come in, please come in, do you have any news of Wang Xinru?" ”

The young man was a peugeot-looking man with dark skin, a bit like a fisherman on the seaside, bathed in the sun. Not only is it long, but it is also attractive, but the skin is a little darker.

The young man was quite happy when he saw Dong Zhongshu with a smile on his face. However, as soon as Dong Zhongshu opened his mouth to speak, he was unhappy, his face changed, and he turned his head and was about to leave, as if he saw the creditor coming to collect the debt.

Dong Zhongshu was strange, the smile on his face just now changed color in an instant, it really changed his face faster than turning a book.

What went wrong?

Did he, Dong Zhongshu, say the wrong thing? Or did you offend this young man before?

Since he is here, there should be news of Wang Xinru, or there are clues from Wang Xinru, so he can't let him run.

Dong Zhongshu walked quickly to the young man and stopped him, and said politely: "Young man, has Dong ever offended you, you don't care about villains, as long as there is news of Wang Xinru, please tell me, I have something urgent, please, please." ”

Dong Zhongshu called this young man an adult.

Dong Zhongshu said sincerely, and the tone of the request made people unbearable not to help him.

But the young man didn't seem to want to pay attention to him, and wanted to bypass Dong Zhongshu and continue to leave.

Dong Zhongshu stopped in front of the young man again, folded his hands and folded his hands, and asked the young man to help tell him the news.

"You have a good heart, you are a fairy, and you are an elder. Is it that you are old and your eyes are not good? ”

The young man turned, his tone seemed better, but the content of his speech still sounded uncomfortable.

Dong Zhongshu doesn't care, now the young man says that Dong Zhongshu is not good at eye, even if he says that he is blind, he doesn't care, as long as the young man says where Wang Xinru is, it is a great thing.

In order to stammer with the young man, Dong Zhongshu had no choice but to respond: "Yes, yes, yes, when you are old, your eyes are not very good, and you can't see things clearly." ”

"You're the thing. I said, Elder, can you say a few words of praise to me? The young man was getting angrier and angrier, his face was red with anger, and his eyes were on fire, "I'm really angry." ”

However, until now, Dong Zhongshu still doesn't understand where he said the wrong thing and made the young man so angry.

"I said young man, I'm stupid, where is the wrong thing you say, you make it clear, I will change it."

Dong Zhongshu still said good things, and stopped the young man from leaving.

The young man saw that Dong Zhongshu was a fairy and had an extraordinary bearing, or was infected by his demeanor, so he had to tell the truth: "I said that you are Uncle Dong, how do you see that I am a young man?" You take a close, serious look. ”

The young man said, stretching out his face to Dong Zhongshu, as if he couldn't see clearly if he didn't lean his face against Dong Zhongshu.

Dong Zhongshu took a closer look, and then found that he was not a young man, the skin of his face was still very delicate, but it was not like the face of an ordinary little girl, white and red, a bit like a young man's face, plus his hair was not long, and there was no girl's decoration, giving people the first impression of a young man. If you look closely, you can see that there are still elegant women's ornaments on her head, and there are still a little small peaks on her chest......

"It's really rude, it's a beautiful girl, please forgive me. Please sit in the room. ”

Looking at things, how can you not make people angry when you call others young men?

Fortunately, the girl was personable, and under Dong Zhongshu's sincere apology, she followed Dong Zhongshu into the house. When she entered the house, the girl said, "For the sake of your sweet mouth, I will not bother with you." My name is Liu Xiaoye, and my mother took me to do tea business in Guangling City; Our tea house is rented from a man surnamed Wang, and his name is Wang Xinru, who is almost forty years old, which is similar to your notice. Do you see if it's the person you're looking for? ”

It doesn't matter if he is or not, the name is the same, and the age is about the same, so you have to see someone and talk about it.

Dong Zhongshu became excited, grabbed Liu Xiaoye's little hand, and shook it vigorously, saying thank you and thank you while shaking.

Liu Xiaoye is a straight girl, and anger comes and goes quickly. I don't know if it's because she's in a good mood, or because of Dong Zhongshu's modesty and politeness, she can't care.

Liu Xiaoye also politely said: "Look at your dress, you are a northerner, right?" You're visiting Jiangdu for the first time, right? ”

Liu Xiaoye is also a talkative person, and took the initiative to talk to Dong Zhongshu. Seeing that Liu Xiaoye didn't care about saying that she was a young man, Dong Zhongshu also let go of communicating with her.

Dong Zhongshu praised Liu Xiaoye: "Little girl, you have unique eyesight, and you know at a glance that I am from the north." I am really from the north, from Chang'an. I used to be a teacher here, and Wang Xinru was my student. I came to Guangling City, and I wanted to see him. ”

"You're his teacher? So you are Dr. Dong? Liu Xiaoye was a little excited, stood up, and circled around Dong Zhongshu.

Dong Zhongshu was also a little excited, this little girl also knew him Dong Zhongshu? He's just a doctor.

Dong Zhongshu was a little strange: "You know me?" ”

"My landlord, that is, your student Wang Xinru, is his Dr. Dong teacher when he opens and closes, and he is Confucianism at every turn, which is really thunderous. Finally saw his teacher. ”

Liu Xiaoye had his back behind him, and he was still circling around Dong Zhongshu, looking at it while turning, and praising him: "Good teacher, handsome teacher." ”

Dong Zhongshu looked at Liu Xiaoye, where is this a girl, that form and demeanor are completely a tomboy.

After Liu Xiaoye turned around a few times, he asked, "Dr. Dong, I want to worship you as a teacher, is it okay?" ”

After Liu Xiaoye's family rented Wang Xinru's inn and tea house, she met Wang Xinru, and wanted to worship him as a teacher when she saw that he was educated, and he only said: "We don't accept female students." "Sent Liu Xiaoye away. Now that she sees Wang Xinru's teacher, Liu Xiaoye still can't control her studious mood.

But Dong Zhongshu also said: "We don't accept female students." ”

As soon as Liu Xiaoye heard it, he became a frosted eggplant - wilted.

Liu Xiaoye, who reacted quickly, suddenly became excited again, and came up with a solution: "Dr. Dong, didn't you say that I look like a young man?" Aren't you just going to be a lad? ”

Liu Xiaoye's reminder made Dong Zhongshu think, why didn't he recruit female students?

"Your question is worth considering. But that's for later. At present, you help me solve the problem of finding someone first, this person you found should be Wang Xinru That's right, I will give you the reward on the notice now, you tell me now, how can I meet Wang Xinru. ”

Liu Xiaoye doesn't want money, she and her mother are from Minyue, and the people in the mountains are simple-minded, and they can't do it if they ask for money to help others find someone.

She didn't want to be rewarded, and Dong Zhongshu was afraid that she would lose her trust and give it to others, so the two of them humbled themselves on the road.

couldn't solve it for a while, so the smart Liu Xiaoye thought of a solution: "You don't have to reward me with money, don't you have a few guests, just stay in my inn; My family has an inn and a tea house, so let me make some money. You live in our store, and I will send someone to ask Wang Xinru to come to the inn and meet his teacher. When the time comes, he will not be excited to cry? ”

Liu Xiaoye thought about it, if you live with me, I will be kind to you at that time, and maybe I can become a student of Dr. Dong and learn some Confucianism. I heard that the emperor will want everyone to 'respect Confucianism' in the future.

Dong Zhongshu felt that this method was good, so he followed Liu Xiaoye to the Minyue Inn.
