When Liu Xiaoye asked Xiao Er to call Wang Xinru, Xiao Er was a little excited. It's time to leave the inn.

Xiao Er usually doesn't have time to go out of the inn, and basically stays in the inn every day to receive guests from the south to the north. It's either delivering water or cleaning, and there's something to be done anyway. The changes in the outside world, Xiao Er's three hundred and sixty-five days a year is not a feeling. Only like this can I occasionally be sent a tolerance and come out for an apprenticeship.

Minyue Inn is a suburb of the city, Wang Xinru lives in the city, from the inn to Wang Xinru, you have to pass through several prosperous areas.

These bustling districts are lively. There is a dazzling array of goods, dazzling and dizzying; The cries of selling one after another are endless; The fragrance is evocative. However, Xiao Er has no intention of watching the street scene, if he goes back slowly, then Liu Xiaoye will not scold him to death. Xiao Er only cared about getting to Wang Xinru as soon as possible, and quickly found Wang Xinru to the inn.

Xiao Er likes to watch a little girl sing a song and walk a tightrope or something. That year, I forgot to see my sister singing, and I was taught a good lesson by Liu Xiaoye. But he said that he couldn't blame him, only that the singer called the noisy girl was too beautiful and sang so beautifully, like a lark, like the sound of nature, which made people unable to move their legs and couldn't extricate themselves.

Xiao Er blew the noisy girl so much that Liu Xiaoye just didn't believe it, so he asked, "Prettier than me?" ”

Xiao Er is not a fool, he has a very smart brain. Even if the girl is more beautiful than the young lady, you can't say it. Xiao Er only hesitated for a moment before he said with a smile: "It's a little worse than our young lady......"

Of course, Liu Xiaoye could feel that the singing girl called the noisy girl must be more beautiful than herself, so Xiao Er hesitated.

"Anyone prettier than me?"

When she was a child, Liu Xiaoye was an innocent and lovely little girl, and her mother said, 'My daughter is the most beautiful girl in the world', and she believed it. Until now she thought she was the most beautiful girl in the world.

But Xiao Er's expression in front of her made her dream a little distorted.

Liu Xiaoye was lost for a moment.

Liu Xiaoye felt uncomfortable, she caught Xiao Er, and she insisted that he find the troublesome sister, and she wanted to see who she was more beautiful than.

Xiao Er is a person with a heart, and when he watched the girl singing that day, he inquired about where the girl troupe was. When Liu Xiaoye wanted to find the troubled girl, Xiao Er immediately took Liu Xiaoye to Liyu Village to see the troublesome girl.

Liu Xiaoye knew the troublesome girl at that time, that is, at that time, she knew that there were fairies in the world who were more beautiful than her, and there were really fairies descending to earth, which made her admire her so much.

Liu Xiaoye was so envious of the noisy sister, and after seeing the noisy sister, she had to recognize her as a sister and be friends with her. This is how Liu Xiaoye and Naomei met.

But now on the street, if you want to find someone as beautiful as a noisy girl and singing well, there is no more. So when Xiao Er was looking for Wang Xinru, he didn't let him go back and forth, and went directly to Wang Xinru.

At that time, Wang Xinru believed that Dr. Dong had come to Guangling City, and blamed Xiao Er: "If you come to see me, I'll take a look, don't find any reason." I'm glad you're here, make good tea and drink it. ”

Wang Xinru took Xiao Er's words as the wind in his ears, and he didn't take it seriously, but only regarded it as a reason why Xiao Er came to see and found not a reason.

"Landlord, my junior usually likes to joke. But how dare I make such a joke with you? Look at me sweating profusely, am I kidding? ”

It's really that the emperor is not in a hurry, and the eunuch is in a hurry.

Wang Xinru looked at Xiao Er seriously, only to see that Xiao Er's brain was really oozing beads of sweat, and that shape was not a joke. Wang Xinru became excited, immediately changed his clothes and rushed to the Minyue Inn.

When Xiao Er led Wang Xinru to Dr. Dong, he looked at Wang Xinru dumbfounded, it was really Dr. Dong and his teacher.

I haven't seen him for more than 20 years, Wang Xinru was so excited that he couldn't control it anymore, his eyes were full of tears, and his feet were weak and he knelt on the ground......

Dr. Dong also saw that the young man who was in his prime at that time was now middle-aged, and a few strands of gray hair appeared on his head, so he sighed that time was unforgiving. He himself is old, and the young man is also entering middle age......

More than 20 years passed, Dr. Dong helped Wang Xinru, and after Liu Luye and the others left, he asked cordially: "Xinru, how have you been doing in the past 20 years?" ”

Wang Xinru sat next to Teacher Dong and reported his situation to Teacher Dong.

Since the teacher left Wu Wang Liu Bi, dozens of students have also been disbanded. Some stayed under King Wu as advisers, while others returned to their original positions.

Wang Xinru wanted to follow Teacher Dong, just because he was the only son in the family, and he only relied on him for filial piety, so he also returned home, helping his father take care of the business, while strengthening his own study and cultivation, and occasionally taking students with him.

Wang Xinru is okay at reading, has a good memory and understanding. Starting a business is not good, how to teach his father, he always doesn't know the essentials, so after his father passed away, when he came to operate, day by day, until Liu Luye came to rent, he rented the inn and tea house to her......

"Speaking from the bottom of my heart, if my mother hadn't been bedridden, I would have thought of Chang'an to find you, and then I would have continued to study Confucianism. For the sake of filial piety, I gave up looking for you. But over the years, I have always missed you, the way you lectured, your eloquence, and your erudition in astronomy and geography......"

Wang Xinru's excited mood has not subsided from the moment he saw the teacher, and his hands are still trembling slightly.

Wang Xinru took a sip of tea with trembling hands, cleared his throat, and immediately asked the teacher: "Teacher, have you been okay all these years?" I heard that your 'Three Strategies Theory' is very well received by the emperor, and the emperor is ready to 'depose the Confucianism of the hundred schools'? Why did you come to Guangling City this time? ”

After listening to Wang Xinru's report, Dong Zhongshu believed in his gaze, and from the moment he saw Wang Xinru, he decided that this young man had perseverance and was a good student. Unexpectedly, twenty years later, this student has lived up to his hopes. Dong Zhongshu was really happy, he was also excited, and said excitedly: "You still insist on studying, which makes the teacher very happy." It seems that the teacher came to Jiangdu to find you correctly. Now there are no outsiders, let me tell you, we are not here this time to enjoy the mountains and rivers, nor to eat, drink and have fun, I am the emperor asked me to be the minister of Jiangdu. ”

"Ahh The teacher came to be the minister of state? Wang Xinru didn't control his emotions and couldn't help interrupting the teacher, even though it was impolite and not allowed by Confucianism.

"I'm in my fifties, and the emperor still asked me to be the minister of state, I can't believe it, right? I still think it's a dream. The problem is that now that I'm here, since I'm here, I can't help but do a good job; If you can't do it well, how can you be worthy of the people of Jiangdu? If you can't do it well, how can you be worthy of the emperor? The question is how to be a good minister of state as soon as I am a scholar? I've been scratching my ears and cheeks these days......"

Dong Zhongshu asked a question and asked Wang Xinru to think about it. He picked up the teacup and took a sip while looking at Wang Xinru. Everyone looked at Dong Zhongshu and waited for him to continue.

Wang Xinru could hear that although the teacher asked this question to make him think, he did not want him to answer. He believed that the teacher would continue to speak.

After a pause, the teacher continued, "If I want to be a good minister of this country, it is not enough to rely on one person. So I brought Lu Bushu, and I want to ask you Wang Xinru to come out and help me. ”

Wang Xinru was very excited, he snatched the teacher's words again, and said: "God really has eyes, let you teach me again, and let you teach the people of Jiangdu again." This is my blessing, and it is also the blessing of the people of Jiangdu. Teacher, don't say you want me to help you, as long as I, Wang Xinru, can do it, even if I go to the soup and fight the fire. I'm not in business anymore, and I usually just read books and sometimes teach children. In the past few years, Zheng came to the prime minister at that time, and I met him once, he often asked me to go to the prime minister to chat, and I also know a little about the situation in the prime minister's mansion, and I am familiar with a few people inside. ”

When Wang Xinru was expressing his determination, Liu Xiaoye came to invite everyone to dinner, saying that the kitchen meal was ready.

Don't miss work when you eat, you still have to eat. Dong Zhongshu arranged: "Then eat first, and after dinner, we will continue here and start studying the next step." ”
