"Then don't bother me drinking tea and reading."

……

I have to admit that the hot face sticking to the cold ass is not to say that it is put on a child with poor self-control, even if it is a mature adult, it is inevitable to get angry when encountering this situation. Gao Wenyuan, who was angry, returned home, and his face tensed for several days because of this.

He didn't dare to complain to his grandfather, because he knew that in the face of the Tang family, which had little difference in power and influence, it was impossible for his grandfather to go to the door because of Gao Wenyuan's trivial matter, compared to it, he was more likely to take action to beat and scold Gao Wenyuan, and then teach him to control himself and keep this kind of thing in his heart.

For the same reason, Gao Wenyuan did not tell the truth when he reported the information about Tang Su to his grandfather, but took out one of the sons he had seen in the past and told it to Gao Jinxia, although it was a bit clumsy, but his grandfather did not delve into it.

After a few days, Gao Xiuyi came to find his son. In fact, in his heart, Gao Wenyuan looked down on his father a little. This is not unfilial. After all, Gao Wenyuan grew up with his grandfather, and his grandfather couldn't afford this son who "couldn't support the wall". Under the influence of his ears and eyes, with Gao Wenyuan, he was not very convinced by his father.

As soon as Gao Xiuyi saw Wen Yuan, he grinned. "Wen Yuan, what's going on? I heard that I've been depressed since I went to Lying Tang Mansion, did someone provoke you? ”

"Who did you listen to? Someone spying on me? ”

As soon as he heard these words come out of the immature Gao Wenyuan's mouth, Gao Xiuyi couldn't help but grin even bigger. "How dare you, my eldest young master." After joking, Gao Xiuyi made a straight face, "After all, his* labor and management are your labor and management, so you still need to monitor this matter?" What do you think, stinky boy. ”

This set of rhetoric made Gao Wenyuan a little confused, not because he couldn't stand it in terms of self-esteem, but because he couldn't understand the "vulgar" words.

Gao Wenyuan was placed in a "reasonable cultivation environment" by his grandfather when he was very young, and he didn't have much contact with outsiders in informal settings, as for swearing words or something, under the isolation of his grandfather, Gao Wenyuan never heard it when he was a child, even if he heard some by chance when he grew up, Gao Jinxia also taught him, saying that these are all vulgar people who can't make a tool can say it. And now from the mouth of his father, who is a member of the court, it really scared him.

If Tang Su's words that day can be explained by the so-called "homophony", today's father's words are outright swearing.

"Father, you wear a black veil on your head, and you are the pillar of our Gao family, please pay attention to your words and deeds." Gao Wenyuan bowed.

Gao Xiuyi looked at Gao Wenyuan with very sad eyes. "Do you want to do that in your own home?"

"The ancients said: 'A gentleman should be cautious of his independence', not only at home, but also doubly discipline himself. Father, you're too ungraceful. ”

Gao Xiuyi let out a long sigh and sat down at the desk. "Child, what about me, I originally wanted to come to talk to you about Tang Su, but it turned out that Wu'er was so unkind, and there was a faint aura of ascending to immortal."

It was a joke, Gao Wenyuan fully realized this fact from his tone, but he didn't know whether to laugh or not, in fact, he didn't want to laugh at all. "Father already knows that it is Tang Su's business?"

Gao Xiuyi ignored his question, "Wu'er, listen well, 'no one is perfect, no one is perfect', do you really think that everyone is like you, a virtue at home and in the officialdom?" It is indeed appropriate to do so in officialdom, but since people are not perfect, they must relax. If it's always like that, how tired this person is. ”

"Father, this is a bad statement, it is precisely because 'no one is perfect' that we have to pursue 'perfection', isn't it? Besides, if the quality of the text is elegant and practical, isn't three meals a day also a thing that hurts the body? If you can treat these as a person's daily life, isn't that the way to be an official? ”

"What is the way to be an official?" Gao Xiuyi suddenly slapped the table and stood up, "Oh, pretending to be every day, in your words, self-cultivation and socializing everywhere, this is the way to be an official?" I am willing to bow down to your labor and management, I have been an official for so many years, I don't dare to say the four words of the way of being an official, what you are talking about is really light. ”

Gao Wenyuan saw that his father was really angry, so he hurriedly took a step back and lowered his head.

"As an official, you must have the community in mind and the people in your heart. This is the official! You can be loyal and filial piety, and you can live in the Qi family, this is the virtuous! Now you have no people in your heart, no father in your eyes, no social affairs, and you are happy with the officialdom, and you don't know what you can do in the future! ”

After a long breath of training, Gao Xiuyi gritted his teeth and sat back down, "I don't know what your grandfather plans to train you to be, but in my opinion, he was so wrong." If you don't eat the fireworks in the world, you are an immortal, although the immortals don't know the fireworks in the world, they want to taste all the flavors of the world. ”

After a long time, Gao Xiuyi took a deep breath, "Speaking of Tang Su, I have met him, and I have talked to him, he may not be suitable for mixing in the imperial court, but if he can be an official, it is really a great fortune for the people." He is a real ruler, much better than you, but unfortunately he is not here. Tang Jiading's heir seems to be Tang Ze, which is good for both of them. Born in a powerful family, he has the talent to govern the world, but he has a hidden heart......" Speaking of this, Gao Xiuyi changed his head and interrupted the topic. swallowed the rest of the "I don't know how long his heart can stay".

"Wu'er, if you have a difficult choice in the future, you might as well go to Tang Su and ask, it will definitely be beneficial." Throwing down these words, Gao Xiuyi opened the door and left, leaving Gao Wenyuan alone in the room for a long time.

……

The next day, Tang House

"I'm sorry about what happened that day. It is really offensive to be despicable. Standing in front of Tang Su, Gao Wenyuan apologized. Although he didn't think that the incident that day was caused by himself, for the purpose of "reconciliation", Gao Wenyuan still decided to bow his head first from his side.

"Ah, it's okay, I don't remember for a long time. This world is so bustling, and people like you are all over the streets, and you can't be angry. Tang Su was still leaning against a tree in the back garden like he had done last time. This time, however, he was holding not a scroll, but a peachwood sword. He looked at the sword carefully, and didn't give Gao Wenyuan a straight look like last time.

Although the difference between wood is subtle unless it is a rather special wood, it is still easy to distinguish between a mahogany sword and a wooden sword used by samurai practice. Mahogany swords are usually smaller and have a lot of ornamentation, and are generally standard for exorcist monks; The wooden swords used by the samurai to practice are usually thickened and enlarged to ensure their weight, and the style is very rough, and some even resemble wooden sticks.

"Brother Tang, but what is the name of the peach wood sword?" Gao Wenyuan asked tentatively, he remembered that he had asked a similar question last time, and was ridiculed by the person in front of him. But he also knew that he was provoked by his words and deeds last time to cause such a gaffe, and this time he was able to answer the righteous and bright purpose.

However, if you are mentally prepared in advance, Tang Su's behavior is not so annoying, but a little elegant.

"Brother Tai knows how much swordsmanship?" Tang Su raised his eyes and looked at Gao Wenyuan.

"The Gao family has used knives for generations, and although I have dabbled in swords, I mostly use swordsmanship into swords, which is not real swordsmanship. And when he was still young, he didn't have enough strength, although he had posture tricks, but he didn't see enough, and he couldn't teach people," although Tang Su still didn't answer his question, but the words he asked really made Gao Wenyuan breathe, after all, the other party's question meant that Tang Su didn't plan to drive him away directly. "Moreover, Brother Tang's peachwood sword can't be used to sharpen swordsmanship, it's just a decorative thing."

"I know." Tang Su didn't show surprise. "If I really want to learn swords, the Tang Mansion is still crazy with pleasure, so why bother you to teach it. Just asking. ”

"Yes."

……

What should I do if I am talked to death after this day! Gao Wenyuan's mind is full of this thought now. As a result, Tang Su didn't seem to care very much when he saw it, and was still looking at the peachwood sword there.

After a long time, Tang Su sighed. "Brother Tai has been to the rivers and lakes?"

"The contemptible man is nine years old this year......"

"Then you're talking far away from the rivers and lakes. Where there are people, there are rivers and lakes. Even this Tang Mansion is not a river and lake. Saying that, Tang Su picked up the peachwood sword and stood up, "But I don't like this Jianghu." Why don't we go out and have a look? ”

So Gao Wenyuan followed Tang Su to the street, and the street in front of the Tang Mansion was very quiet. Occasionally, a few palanquins and carriages pass by. Tang Su took Gao Wenyuan to turn left and right, and walked into a path that Gao Wenyuan had never seen before, which was quite spacious for the two children.

After a while, the road suddenly cleared. The air is starting to get a little noisy, too.

Gao Wenyuan was puzzled, only to see an empty field next to the road, and the ground was covered with broken stones, which made the ground not too muddy. On the other side of the field, halfway between dirt and slate, is a large gate. However, from Gao Wenyuan's eyes, it is really not very rich. There was a plaque on the door, with three big characters on it, "Grievance Building", and the payment was too far away for him to see clearly.

As I got closer, the sound coming from inside became even louder, but in the midst of the noise, there was a faint drumbeat. It sounds like a bit of harmony for a long time. After entering the grievance building, Gao Wenyuan found that this was a drama garden, and the drama on the stage had already started singing, but it didn't seem to be a play. There were a lot of people in the audience, and it was really uncomfortable for the two nine-year-old children. Just then, an old man came up to him. Tang Su nodded at him, and the old man sent the two to the relatively clean second floor. The stage is relatively high, and the impact on the second floor is not very great.

"The rivers and lakes you are talking about, this is it?" Gao Wenyuan asked.

"Yes, this is a river and lake, outside the play are the rivers and lakes of the people here, and inside the play are the rivers and lakes of the people in the play.

What are rivers and lakes, are they people? No, where people are, there are rivers and lakes, but the rivers and lakes are by no means people themselves.

Life is in the world, but it is just for the sake of happiness. It is their pleasure for a wicked man to do evil; Chivalry saves people, this is also their pleasure.

It is their pleasure to listen to the drama more than such a person. It is also their pleasure to work hard to earn money to support themselves or their families. It is this pleasure that drives people to act, drives people to see the prosperity of this life, and reads the grievances of this life.

And everyone's grievances constitute the rivers and lakes, as above is the meaning of the word 'grievance building'.

Your Excellency's pleasure is in officialdom, and officialdom naturally has a set of grievances. The pleasure of despicable people is at the end of the world, and naturally there is also a set of grievances. They are all irrelevant rivers and lakes, and no one is qualified to criticize other people's ways of living. In the rivers and lakes, Gao Gongzi, you and the drama on the stage are the same.

I don't know if I'm going to say this to you, or if you can accept it, but I'm just saying it, and it's okay when I'm talking to myself. Okay, it's time for the main drama to begin. ”

……

Gao Wenyuan pondered for a long time, and suddenly raised his head with a smile, "Brother Tang said that the two rivers and lakes are irrelevant?" Let me ask you, if you can come to the second floor to watch the play more cleanly, isn't it actually using a set of 'grievances' in the officialdom? ”

"Irrelevant rivers and lakes will also have grievances that they want to do, but the answer to your question has nothing to do with officialdom. I'm afraid they don't know that I'm from the Tang family, and I can only come here because - this plaque on the upper floor is my handiwork. Tang Su smiled very kindly, his eyes narrowed. The breeze outside the building blew, blowing Tang Su's immature long hair, wandering on the white clothes and the peach wood sword behind his back.

It looks like an immortal. This was all Gao Wenyuan's thoughts at that time.
