Xia Xiang felt a little lost in his heart, although since he got acquainted with Lian Ruohan, she had helped him a lot, and often fought wits and courage with him, but he enjoyed the tricks he and her tried each other. I thought that she would really settle for some time, and she didn't want to leave tomorrow, but she was a little reluctant.

"In this way, I wish Ruohan's sister all the best." Xia Xiang wanted to ask a few more words, but suddenly felt that he couldn't ask.

"Thank you, Xia Xianzun." Even Ruohan saw Xia Xiang's indifferent expression, there was no reluctance, and there was no concern, and he couldn't help but feel lost in his heart. Could it be that she has no weight in his heart, she went north to the capital, at least half a month, more than a few months, he didn't even ask about the return date, he was really a ruthless and unrighteous Langjun!

"Ahem......" Xia Xiang pretended to cough a few times, trying to hide the reluctance in his heart, so that his voice sounded calm and without ups and downs, "I don't know when Sister Ruohan will return to Zhending?" ”

Lian Ruohan was suddenly happy in his heart, he still cared about me, and asked me when I would return? Her face suddenly dissipated, and she hurriedly replied: "If it goes well, half a moon will be back." If there is a delay, it will not last for a month. ”

Thinking about it again, he couldn't be too angry, so he was busy and dignified, and said softly: "If there is something in Zhending County, Xia Xianzun just tells Lu Langjun, and he will stay in Zhending." ”

"I know." Xia Xiang replied lightly, his face was not wavering, but he was secretly happy in his heart, Lian Ruohan is a child of the family again, and then everyone is a lady, after all, she is also a woman, and the surprise of Fang Cai exposed her inner expectations.

In all fairness, Xia Xiang really didn't want Lian Ruohan to leave at this time, but it was not easy to show it to his face.

Lu Dongdong reported outside the door: "Xia Xianzun, Xu Wangshan, Xu Yuanwai and Ma Qingyuan and Ma Yuanwai came to visit. ”

"Let them in." Xia Xiang was overjoyed in his heart, it just so happened that even Ruohan was here, and the matter of the granary and growing grain could be finalized.

Lian Ruohan was a little angry, he wanted to leave, but then he thought, no, he couldn't let Xia Xiang be too proud. She didn't like him yet, just because he was one of the collaborators who could help her and her family expand their territory, so why bother with him about whether he had feelings for her? Whoever is serious first is the loser.

Thinking about this, Lian Ruohan calmed down again, sat down for a while, and waited for Xu Wangshan and Ma Qingyuan to step in, and then she slowly got up to greet her.

Xia Xiang introduced each other to several people in turn, and Huanhuan and Liu Er competed to serve tea to the guests, making Xu Wangshan and Ma Qingyuan's eyes straight.

Xu Wangshan laughed: "I originally wanted to find a decent girl ring for Xia Xianzun, it seems that there is no need, Xia Xianzun already has someone around him." Xia Xianzun's vision is much better than mine. ”

How could Xia Xiang not hear the ridicule in Xu Wangshan's words, and he also laughed: "Liu Er is the maid ring given to this official by Ruohan's sister......

Xu Wangshan peeked at Lian Ruohan and laughed: "Xia Xianzun and Lian Niangzi are talented and beautiful, and they are born to make a pair. Xia Xianzun hasn't married yet, and even his wife hasn't married yet, right? ”

Lian Ruohan smiled generously: "I haven't been married yet, but I already have someone I like, so I don't have to worry about it." ”

Xu Wangshan patted his head: "Okay, this is easy to do." I'm also worried that Lian Niangzi likes Xia Xianzun, but it turns out that it's not, I want to have a chance to be a matchmaker for Xia Xianzun. Xia Xianzun, I have a younger sister who is still in the boudoir, she knows Dali, is proficient in piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, and looks dignified......"

"Is it Xu Yuanwai's own sister?" Lian Ruohan covered her mouth and smiled and asked.

"That's natural, if it weren't for my own sister, how could I be embarrassed to introduce it to Xia Xianzun?" Xu Wangshan looked surprised, as if he didn't understand why Lian Ruohan asked this.

Lian Ruohan chuckled: "Since we are the same mother's compatriots, I think my sister looks a little similar to you." With Xu Yuanwai's appearance, I believe that Ling Mei's appearance cannot be said to be dignified in any way......"

"You ......" Xu Wangshan laughed angrily, wanted to refute a few words, his eyes rolled and he understood something, hehe smiled, "Even if the lady likes Xia Xianzun, just say it, I won't plunder people's beauty." ”

"Okay, okay, let's get down to business." Ma Qingyuan hurriedly came forward to make a round, "Xia Xianzun, Xu Yuanwai and I came here today to make a deal with the government about the granary and grain business. ”

Xia Xiang couldn't help but laugh, Xu Wangshan had a straightforward temperament, and he would say whatever he wanted, which seemed careless, but in fact, it was also rough and fine. Lian Ruohan and Xu Wangshan secretly made a move when they met for the first time, thinking that Lian Ruohan was really a woman who refused to show weakness in everything.

Xu Wangshan and Ma Qingyuan's granary and grain growing business were run by the two of them on behalf of the government, and since they were going to change hands, there were still many accounts to be sorted out. Xia Xiang nodded and said: "It just so happens that Sister Ruohan is also here, she wants to run the granary and grain business with you, and the official has agreed, so she will settle with you on behalf of the official." ”

"If it's someone else, I'll have to weigh it. But even the lady ...... The horsemen and I couldn't ask for anything else. Xu Wangshan arched his hand, "Please ask Xia Xianzun to vacate a room for us, and the delivery can be completed in two hours." ”

"Someone, please Xu Xiancheng." Xia Xiang ordered that Xu Heguang, as a county minister, was in charge of the county's documents and warehouses, and he should be in charge of this matter.

Not long after, Xu Heguang came, and after learning what he was going to do, he took people to the county house in Ertang to settle the accounts.

As soon as a few people left, Xiao Wu and Ling'er led Liancheng back.

Liancheng is in his forties, with a loyal face, low eyebrows, and careful in every move. Xia Xiang felt that there was no choice, so he asked him to accompany Ma Zhanguo and Dong Duan to accompany Ma Zhanguo and Dong Duan to the city music immediately.

Xia Xiang also repaired a book and asked Ma Zhanguo to bring it to Pei Shuozhang. It is a proper rule for the county lieutenant of Zhending to go to the city of Le County to handle the case and inform the city of Le Zhi County. In the letter, Xia Xiang politely complimented Pei Shuozhang a few words, and said that Dong Xian's murder case had been clearly tried by Zhending County, and would not be transferred to Shile County, and only hoped that Shile County could provide relevant assistance.

Although his words were sincere, he also secretly told Pei Shuozhang that if he neither wanted to try the case nor was he willing to provide assistance within his ability, then Xia Xiang also had a way to implicate the case in Shile County, and Pei Shuozhang would not be able to come forward if he couldn't think of it. In this way, it is difficult to say whether things will eventually affect Pei Shuozhang's future.

It is Xia Xiang who believes that with Pei Shuozhang's cleverness, he can clearly recognize which is more important, and he will not embarrass Dong Duan in assisting Dong Duan to take over Dong's firm. At the same time, in the matter of Ma Zhanguo's arrest of Yan Sun and Dong Li's return to Zhending, he will not be obstructed.

Yes, Xia Xiang secretly instructed Ma Zhanguo to escort Yan Sun and Dong Li back to Zhending for trial after escorting Dong Duan back, when Dong Duan took over the Dong firm. Mantuo went with him, firstly, to protect Dong Duan, secondly, to secretly investigate Zhuang Feifei, and thirdly, to protect Yan Sun and Dong Li to be safely escorted back to Zhending.

Of course, the premise of Pei Shuozhang's unobstruction is that there are no more serious situations that affect his future. If so, the development of things will be uncontrollable. Xia Xiang didn't think about it so much, after all, he still didn't have a clue who would be involved behind Fu Ke.

Ma Zhanguo, Mantuo and Liancheng, and Dong Duan took the order and left.

As soon as a few people left, someone came to report that Liu Changting and Xie Huagai had come to visit.

It's also a good thing that things are all in place, Xia Xiang cheered up, cut through the mess quickly, clarified many miscellaneous matters as soon as possible, and quickly got on the right track.

Xia Xiang didn't go out to greet him, and when Liu Xie and the others entered the door, he got up and didn't welcome him.

Liu Changting people are as their name suggests, as long as willows, elegant as a pavilion, dressed as scholars, wearing a square scarf, outside the thirties, thin eyebrows and thin eyes, high cheekbones, deep eyelids, at first glance like Hu people. He held a fan in his hand, the bones of which were as white as jade, and there was a jade pendant, which was as red as blood.

Xie Huagai is very rich, not to mention his wide body and fat body, but also full of red face, he is about forty years old, with a fat head and big ears, and his face is like a full moon. He has a long beard under his chin, a silk silk on his body, and fluttering sleeves when he walks, like a whirlwind. He wore jade around his waist and a string of boxwood Buddhist beads wrapped around his wrist.

Although boxwood is not a particularly valuable wood, it is loved by many celebrities in Daxia. Lianche is very respectful of boxwood, once said that "boxwood is one inch long, and three inches back in case of leap", so it is called "millennium short".

Liu Xie and the others stepped forward and saluted Xia Xiang: "Liu and Xie have seen Xia Xianzun." ”

Xia Xiang returned the salute and smiled: "Liu Yuanwai and Xie Yuanwai don't need to be polite, please take a seat." ”

The two of them took their seats, and Liu Changting secretly glanced at Xia Xiang a few times, and the contempt in his eyes became stronger and stronger. Xie Huagai was fine, although he had a look of disdain, it was not obvious.

Xia Xiang took in the every move of the two, and asked quietly, "Do you two have something to find this official?" ”

Liu Changting held a fan in his right hand, gently tapped the palm of his left hand, and looked at Xia Xiang with slanted eyes: "Xia Xianzun took office as the county magistrate of Zhending, and he was Liu's parent official. ”

There were three points of disdain and seven points of ridicule in his tone.

Xia Xiang smiled quietly: "Liu Yuanwai is polite, the official is really in charge, and he has more than 100,000 people under his rule, if they all come to visit the official on the grounds of their own points, the official will not have to govern the real decision, and he can't be busy opening the door every day to welcome guests." ”

Xie Huagai's eyes flashed, Xia Xiangmian hid a needle, and returned it without being soft or hard, he was young, and he was so old-fashioned, he smiled: "What Xia Xianzun said is extremely true, it is Xie and Liu Yuanwai who are presumptuous." However, Xie and Liu Yuanwai are indeed sincere, and they also brought their hearts to Xia Xianzun. Come on, present it. ”

The two little servants carried two jars in, the two jars were about half a person high, and the seals on them had turned yellow, which could be seen that they had been going on for a long time.

"This is Tokyo's own Meiju sake, and it has been 10 years since it was brewed and the jar has never been opened. But authentic ashless wine. Xie Huagai got up and circled around the altar, "I don't know what Xie said just now, does Xia Xianzun understand?" ”

It turned out that he wanted to test him, if he couldn't answer, he was afraid that he would be ridiculed for ignorance by Xie Huagai, Xia Xiang smiled indifferently: "Steam the rice, let it cool, mix it with koji, and let it ferment." When fermented to a certain extent, the rice becomes sake lees, filtered out with a wine sieve, put into a jar and sealed, at least three months, more than ten years, after opening, it is the finished wine. If lime is added, it can prevent the wine from becoming too acidic. However, lime is prone to phlegm, so if you want to use it medicinally, it must also be ashless wine. ”

Xie Huagai borrowed the wine today, wanting to make Xia Xiang make a fool of himself. He thought that Xia Xiang, as a scholar, knew everything about the hundreds of schools, but he must have known nothing about the cheap business such as winemaking, and he wanted to use wine as the topic to make Xia Xiang speechless, so as to suppress Xia Xiang in momentum, so as to create a preconceived strength.

Unexpectedly, Xia Xiang came easily, but he was an expert, which made Xie Huagai stunned for a while.

"Recite the eyebrows and longevity, and consider the gentleman for a thousand years. Huanghuang Prime Minister, less should also attack the Hou. The black head goes to Yunyuan, and the white hair is thick. The power of the monarch is prosperous, if you are willing to cultivate ......" Xia Xiang recited a poem by Liu Kezhuang and said with a smile, "Although Meishou is good, it is wine after all." Wine can be pleasant, but it can also hurt the body. Drinking is done in moderation. Xie Yuanwai's kindness, this official accepted it. ”

Xie Huagai smiled and said, "Xia County respects knowledge, Xie admires it." However, Xie still has something unclear, I don't know if Xia Xianzun can give me one or two? ”

Okay, Xie Huagai is not endless? Xia Xiang was not annoyed, and smiled faintly: "I can't talk about advice." ”

Xie Huagai coughed lightly and cleared his throat before saying, "I don't know if Xia County Zun has ever been to the Big Buddha Temple?" ”

"Haven't been there yet."

"So Xia Xianzun has read Buddhist scriptures?" Xie Huagai shook the boxwood Buddha beads on his wrist intentionally or unintentionally.

"Not much, only a few books." Xia Xiang asked and answered, not slowly.

Liu Changting observed his words and expressions on the side, and thought secretly in his heart, although Xia Xiang was young, he was very urban, and he was pressed by Xie Huagai step by step, but he did not show any impatience, it seems that it is not as Xu Heguang said, it can be easily taken, and it must be dealt with carefully.

However, he was confident that with his and Xie Huagai's methods, Xia Xiang would definitely be convinced. In the first battle we saw today, we must win but not lose.

Xie Huagai smiled: "Xie is not talented, he has read many Buddhist scriptures, worshippers of the Great Buddha, and follows Master Shanlai to learn Buddhism." Xie Moucai is shallow in learning, he knows that he is stupid, and he can't figure out some Buddhist principles, I don't know if Xia Xianzun is willing to give me some guidance? ”

Xia Xiang said half-jokingly and half-seriously: "You are not a sub-road, and the official is not frustrated or drowning, how can you guide the maze?" ”

"......" Xie Huagai was stunned, he didn't understand what Xia Xiang was referring to, his eyes widened and his mouth opened wide, "Is Zilu a disciple of Confucius?" Who are Chang Frustration and Drowning? ”

Liu Changting's face was slightly red, the two of them still wanted to take the test against Xia Xiang, and they didn't want Xia Xiang to quote a not obscure allusion that made Xie Huagai expose the shallowness of not reading much. He hurriedly stepped forward and relieved Xie Huagai: "Why did Xie Yuanwai forget the allusion to Zilu Wenjin?" The last time I had dinner with Cui Fuzun, Cui Fuzun also told us this allusion. ”

Xie Huagai was stunned for a moment, remembered it, patted his head and laughed: "Xie is ashamed of Cui Fuzun's teachings, and he actually forgot the allusion of Zilu Wenjin, Xia Xianzun, the story of Zilu Wenjin is ......"

Xia Xiang smiled and said nothing, and pretended not to hear the words that the two of them deliberately raised Cui Fuzun to suppress him, so he just smiled and listened to Xie Huagai patiently.

…… On the way to Chu State, Confucius and his entourage saw that their destination was about to arrive, and a river blocked the way in front of them. The river is not very wide, and the river meanders from afar, but up close the river is crystal clear and joins another river. Confucius and his apprentices could not find a ferry, and they could not cross the river without a ferry.

Not far away, there were two old men in the field who were hoeing the ground with their heads bowed, and these two old men were the senior sergeants who were living in seclusion here at that time. So, Confucius sent his great disciple Zilu to ask the two hermits for the location of the ferry.

Before Zilu could explain his intentions, Chang Fu pointed to Confucius's vehicle in the distance and asked Zilu: "Who is the person sitting in the car?" ”

Zilu replied, "He is my teacher Kongqiu. ”

Chang Fu asked in a mocking tone, "Is it Kong Qiu of Lu State?" ”

"Exactly. The teacher asked me to ask about the location of the ferry. ”

"Wasn't he born to know? So he shouldn't have to ask him to know where the ferry is, and why do we farmers do it? ”

Zilu was bored, and turned to ask another hermit. He stopped his hoe and asked, "Who are you?" ”

"I'm Nakayu."

"You're a disciple of Lu Guo Kongqiu, right?"

"Yes."

"Let me tell you, when there is chaos today, like a raging flood, who can change the way of the world? Instead of following the man who always runs away from the bad guys, it would be better to follow those of us who avoid the troubled times and be a hermit. At least the hermit can still be the whole world. After he finished speaking, he was busy hoeing the ground again, and he didn't pay attention to Zilu anymore.

Zilu did not inquire about the ferry, so he had to relay the words of the two hermits, Changfu and Jidrow, to Confucius.

After hearing this, Confucius felt quite uncomfortable, sour, sad and mixed with a sense of loneliness. After a while, Confucius thoughtfully told his disciples: "Man cannot be in the company of birds and beasts." Birds are flying and can fly freely in the sky; The beast is in the mountains and forests, and can walk without worry. Everyone has their own aspirations, and it is better to go their own way. But we don't deal with people in the world, and who do we deal with? If the world is peaceful and in line with the right path, there is no need for me to travel around the world so hard to try to change this troubled world! ”

Later, under the guidance of a farmer, Confucius and his disciples finally found the ferry when the sun was about to set, crossed the river, and successfully reached the negative letter. In order to commemorate Confucius and his disciples passing by here, the river of Zilu "Wenjin" is called Zilu River, the township where "Wenjin" is located is called Zilu Town, and there is a village named Zilu Village, and a street is named Zilu Street. Zilu Town, Zilu Village, Zilu Street, and Zilu River are all named after the allusion of "Zilu Wenjin".

And what Confucius said to Zilu was extended to point out the maze.

"Xia Xianzun, I don't know if there is anything wrong with the allusion that Xie said about Zilu Wenjin?" Xie Hua was reminded by Liu Changting, and then remembered the story of the allusion, and hurriedly said, "Next, Xie will ask Xia Xianzun for guidance, and I hope that Xia Xianzun will not hesitate to give advice." ”
