There is a courtyard in the west of Chang'an City, the courtyard wall is covered with moss, and many wall skins have fallen off the walls of the houses in the courtyard, and some of the doors and windows are rotten. The courtyard is paved with green bricks, there are tiled houses, there is a hall, the eaves have collapsed, the eaves tiles have fallen off, the walls are very thick, the doors and windows are very clumsy, and patches of cyan berry moss have grown on the walls. The moss was corroded and stuck to the wall like patches of black spots.

When I looked at this courtyard, it was a dilapidated courtyard. This courtyard is our Dr. Dong, Dong Zhongshu's courtyard.

Dong Zhongshu is not the first time that he has been passed on by Liu Che, the confessor came to see the emperor, Dong Zhongshu, who was at home, was full of spring breeze and asked Mrs. Dong to come to tea and pay homage to the confessor.

How could the confessor have time to drink tea, he was in a hurry, and said: "Dr. Dong, the emperor has an urgent matter to see you, how can he still have the time to drink tea, let's leave quickly." If the emperor is in a hurry, it will not be good for my little head to move as soon as he gets angry. ”

Doing things for the emperor is all urgent. It took half an hour to walk this way, but you walked for an hour, and the emperor didn't cut off your head, at least he wouldn't ask you to do things by your side. Where did the confessor dare to drink tea at Dong Zhongshu's house?

Dong Zhongshu was not in a hurry, he stroked his long beard and asked slowly, "What's the matter with such a hurry?" ”

The confessor ran errands and never asked anything: "Dr. Dong, we are just running errands, where do we dare to ask anything." Anyway, the things called by the emperor are all urgent, so you should hurry up. ”

The confessor stood there, rubbing his hands against each other, his feet kept pacing in small steps, and he was anxious to ask Dong Zhongshu to hurry up.

Dong Zhongshu is a Confucian master, and his ideas are different from ordinary people. What others are anxious to do, don't be in a hurry, you are in a hurry and your thinking is not normal, can you do good things? The emperor is anxious to do something, so let him be anxious, let him attach great importance to what he wants to do.

So, Dong Zhongshu said: "I understand you. However, you also have to think about it from my point of view, the emperor called me, I have to think about it, what did he call me? What am I going to do with him? ”

This Confucian is grinding like this, and his thoughts are different from others, and they think slowly and carefully.

Dong Zhongshu said as he stroked his long beard and circled in place, his eyebrows frowning slightly, with a thoughtful look.

Judging by what Dr. Dong meant, he still has to think about things at home. Where is this, do you want to think of the Year of the Monkey? The confessor didn't care, strode in front of Dong Zhongshu, and pulled Dong Zhongshu to the door.

The confessor was so energetic that he pulled Dong Zhongshu to the door with three strokes and five divisions by two, and said, "Dr. Dong, don't think about it at home, just think about it while walking on the road." ”

The confessor didn't care, and he didn't listen to what Dong Zhongshu was saying, but just pulled Dr. Dong away vigorously.

Xiucai met Bing, and he couldn't explain it clearly.

Dong Zhongshu's situation is like the situation of Xiucai and Bing. Dong Zhongshu couldn't explain clearly, and finally said, "You have to let me change my clothes, right?" ”

The confessor ignored Dr. Dong and pulled him directly to the carriage. The groom reacted quickly, immediately opened the car door, and helped the confessor to push Dong Zhongshu and drag Dong Zhongshu into the car.

Mrs. Dong had just finished making tea, and when she saw this style, she put down the teacup and ran to the back room to get her official uniform. When she took out her official uniform, Dong Zhongshu had already been pushed into the car.

This wants to see the emperor, how can it be done without official uniforms?

Mrs. Dong held the official uniform in her hand, and shouted while shaking: "Wait, wait, the clothes are ......."

When the groom heard Mrs. Dong's call, he wanted to stop and wait for Mrs. Dong's clothes, so the speed slowed down. Seeing that the car had slowed down, the attendant pushed open the door and asked the groom what was the matter? The groom whispered, "Mrs. Dong has sent clothes, do you want to stop?" ”

The confessor said, "No, who is Dr. Dong?" Can a set of official uniforms stump him? ”

The confessor spoke loudly, deliberately letting Dong Zhongshu hear it. The confessor was afraid that Dr. Dong would come down and would not be able to leave for a long time.

Dong Zhongshu, who originally wanted an official uniform, heard what the confessor said, which aroused his challenge, I didn't wear an official uniform, and saw what the emperor thought?

Under Dong Zhongshu's acquiescence, the groom increased his speed again, and the carriage galloped on the uneven path.

Mrs. Dong chased for dozens of meters, and when she saw that the carriage had no intention of stopping, she was anxious. If the husband sees the emperor like this, what should the emperor blame?

Mrs. Dong immediately thought of Lu Bushu, who was still working in the backyard, so she went to the backyard and shouted: "Bushu, hurry up, ride a horse to catch up with your teacher, give him the official uniform, and he was picked up by the confessor to see the emperor." ”

Lu Bushu is Dong Zhongshu's protégé. He was not called Lu Bushu before, but after following Dong Zhongshu, he changed his name to Bushu, which means that he should follow the teacher and learn from the teacher. Lu Bushu has perseverance, among Dong Zhongshu's protégés, he is the best, following Dong Zhongshu at a young age, he became a doctor, and now he is the youngest doctor.

Lu Bushu thought about it, the teacher saw that the emperor did not wear an official uniform, it was a big disrespect, and he was to blame. The teacher's three strategies have just been expressed in front of the emperor, and if there is a chance, he will not rule out being promoted to an official, and he can't waste his hard-won opportunity because of the official uniform.

Lu Bushu threw down the tools in his hand, ran to Shi Niang, pulled his clothes and ran in the direction of the stable.

The Dong family has a small stable, just at the back of the backyard. In fact, it's not a stable, it's just a grass tent, and there is a horse in it, and it's an old horse, and it's just right to be sick two days ago.

Lu Bushu ran two steps, remembered the sick old horse, stopped and turned to his wife, and said, "Master, forget it, our old horse is not sick, and he can't catch up with the horse from the palace." ”

What Lu Bushu said was the truth. Regarding this old horse, I wanted to change to a good horse, but where did I get the money? Although Dong Zhongshu is a Confucian master, he has taught many students and has been a doctor for more than ten years, but he is a Confucian student, and he regards money as stinky copper, and the purpose is not to make money, so he has always come to his family to be honest, and the official money is just right to support his family.

Thinking of this old horse, Mrs. Dong felt bad in her heart. When it was sick in those days, she personally fed it medicine for a few days, and she was reluctant to let it grow old. If it gets old, who will do the heavy lifting for the family? Lu Bushu was reluctant to ride it just right to chase it.

Mrs. Dong was reluctant, and she was only anxious: "What should I do?" ”

Lu Bushu comforted his wife: "Don't worry, when you get to the palace, the master will have a way, even if you don't borrow from others, the master is natural and wise, and he will definitely be able to find a way." ”

Besides, today is the bathing day, it is estimated that the emperor will not meet in the main hall, if he does not wear official clothes in the side hall, I believe the emperor will not care much. The teacher himself is not afraid of the emperor, the teacher is old, how can the emperor take the teacher?

Mrs. Dong knows Dong Zhongshu best, and if Dong Zhongshu asks someone else to wear clothes, Dong Zhongshu will not do it, and it is possible for him to find a reason to exonerate himself. I can't control him now, I can only see what reason he finds, don't blame the emperor, and resign himself to fate.

Mrs. Dong was also helpless, let out a long sigh, and returned to the front yard to sit at the stone table. She crouched over her chin at the table and looked in the direction of the carriage......
