Out of the door of "must turn back", Qin Meng asked, "Where are we going now?" ”

According to Li Feibai's meaning, he originally wanted to go to the city gate to find York. But after thinking about it, York said that he was going to wait for him at the city gate, probably because he didn't want to listen to the shopkeeper's nagging, so he found an excuse to hide.

Otherwise, when he first entered Quanzhou City, he was on a horse, and even if he didn't see York for a while, York should have seen him.

He turned around and entered the inn door again.

The shopkeeper saw Li Feibai go and return, and said that Li Feibai regretted going out, and wanted to come to ask for the five taels and five dollars of silver, and asked nervously: "What else is the matter with the son?" ”

Li Feibai said: "Does York come back to sleep every day?" ”

The shopkeeper said, "Come back every day." ”

Li Feibai said: "When will you come back?" ”

The shopkeeper said: "It's not on time." Sometimes I come back when it's dark, and sometimes I come back in the middle of the night. ”

Li Feibai didn't ask, turned around and walked out of the inn again, and said to Qin Meng: "Let's go eat first!" ”

The two entered the city and walked into a restaurant that looked like there were a lot of people and a clean environment. When I entered, I saw a man sitting at the window, his clothes adorned with ornaments, gold, jade, copper and iron, shining in the candlelight. He also wore a papier-mâché hat with words written on it.

There are big and small words, the big ones are such as "Gewu Tongtian Great Doctor", "learn without getting tired, teach people tirelessly", and small ones such as "body-oriented, self-cultivation, self-cultivation, self-protection, and self-respect".

Li Feibai looked at this person's dress, and estimated that the cow ghost snake god wore a high hat, how could there be a cow ghost snake god at this time?

As soon as the man moved his chopsticks, the ornaments on his body collided with each other, causing the surrounding diners to look sideways and look at them strangely. But the man did not pay any attention to the eyes of others, and ate and drank without anyone else.

Li Feibai and the two, under the guidance of Xiao Er, walked next to the person's table and sat down at another table.

Li Feibai ordered the food, asked for wine, and looked up just in time to see the man's face. Isn't this Wang Shouren's disciple Wang Gen? I remember when I saw Wang Gen in Jiyuan, Wang Gen was obviously a gentle and frugal humble gentleman, dressed like a genuine Confucian student, how could he suddenly become so pompous!

Therefore, he didn't dare to confirm it, and thought that he had met a man who looked like Wang Gen and read books and became a psychopath.

But the more he looked at it, the more he felt that the person was Wang Gen, so he couldn't help but stand up, walked up to the man, and saluted: "Dare to ask, but Wang Gen Wang is the eldest brother?" ”

While eating and drinking, Wang Gen was still flipping through the books, shaking his head and chanting softly. Hearing someone talking to him, he raised his head and said, "You are ......"

Only after saying two words, he recognized Li Feibailai, and said with great joy: "It's really a place in life where we don't meet!" Brother Li, why did you come to Quanzhou too? Sit down, sit down, little two, and serve a few more good dishes! ”

Li Feibai hurriedly stopped and said, "Big brother, you're welcome, I've already ordered food!" ”

Wang Gen said: "Then eat it at one table!" ”

Li Feibai hurriedly agreed, beckoned Qin Meng to come and sit, and then asked, "Big brother didn't go back to Shaoxing with Lord Wang?" How did you get here? ”

Wang Gen shook his head and said, "I broke up halfway." The teacher read that I hadn't been home for a long time, so let me go home and have a look. I had nothing to do when I got home, so I thought about spreading the teacher's mental knowledge all over the world, so I went all the way east to come here. ”

Li Feibai said: "Why is the big brother dressed up like this, I almost didn't recognize you!" ”

Wang Gen said: "The heart is empty! After all, I am still not confident, afraid that others will underestimate me! ”

He smiled and said, "Brother, you may not know that when I first met the teacher, I was also dressed like this. At that time, I thought that I was rich in learning, and no one in the world could beat me in terms of learning. But I heard that there is a Wang Shouren in Shaoxing who is very knowledgeable, and he founded the heart study alone, and he has the appearance of a saint.

"As the saying goes, there is no first in literature, there is no second in martial arts, how can I be convinced, so I will make up my mind to meet him. After traveling more than 1,000 miles, I arrived in Shaoxing, and then I didn't know whether to see him or not. Brother, guess why? ”

Li Feibai thought to himself: "Wang Gen put Wang Shouren as his teacher, that is, it has been nearly two years, when Wang Shouren was already the governor, and he had just put down the rebellion of King Ning with his own strength, and his reputation was famous for a while. And Wang Gen didn't have a word of fame at that time, except for a little knowledge. ”

He said, "You are cowardly! ”

Wang Gen said: "Brother is so smart, talking to smart people is happy!" I was really timid then. What kind of character is the teacher, and what am I worth, so I go to see it recklessly, how can people meet me, and how can I compare my knowledge. Therefore, I dressed up like this and went straight to the teacher's house, and the people followed me along the way, which was very magnificent. ”

Li Feibai said: "Uncle Wang didn't see you!" ”

Wang Gen said: "Of course I saw it, and left me for a meal." During the banquet, I was at a loss of words, eager to show off my knowledge immediately. Who knows, the teacher's understatement often leaves me speechless. Only then did I realize that the teacher's knowledge was as bright as the moon of the fifteenth, and I was just a firefly, so I immediately worshipped the master.

"I studied day and night with the teacher, and I thought that I had obtained the teacher's true inheritance, and vowed to spread the teacher's knowledge. The previous months had gone very well, and wherever I went, I was treated with due courtesy. However, a few days ago, after only teaching for half a day at the Fuzhou Academy, he was expelled from the prison envoy. I thought it must be because I wasn't famous enough to be so cheap by the inspector, and even the master's reputation was damaged, so I put on this suit and made a high hat for a while, so that no one would dare to look down on me! ”

Li Feibai stuck out his tongue and said secretly: "It turns out that I hurt you like this, if you are so ostentatious from now on, wouldn't it be all my fault?" ”

He thought for a while and said, "Big brother, little brother said something that shouldn't be said, do you think that two years ago, you went to see Uncle Wang, who was in the middle of the day, did he see you because of your style?" ”

Wang Gen thought for a moment and said, "I'm afraid not!" After a pause, he said: "The teacher has no class, I just dress up normally, and he will also meet me!" ”

Li Feibai said: "Big brother thinks that the envoy only asked you to teach half a day of class because you didn't wear this suit?" ”

Wang Gen shook his head and said, "He scolded me for being from a poor background, having no education at all, and being a liar!" ”

Li Feibai said: "Therefore, he drove you away, not because you are not knowledgeable and not famous, but because of your background." I listened to Uncle Wang's lecture on the study of the mind, mainly about listening to one's own conscience. Big brother, you ask your conscience, do you really want to rely on such clothes to spread the teacher's knowledge? ”

Wang Gen arched his hand and said, "Listening to my brother's words, I have a great sense of enlightenment. So, I'll change out of this outfit when I go back. ”

He sighed and said, "I thought that I could do my best to pass on the true knowledge of the teacher, but my brother has not yet understood, and it seems that I have to follow the teacher for several years before I can spread the teacher's knowledge!" ”

Li Feibai said: "Big brother, this is going to Shaoxing?" ”

Wang Gen shook his head and said, "Don't worry! He Zhiquan, the prefect of Quanzhou, admired the teacher's heart study very much, and left me here for a few days, and then left after the lecture. He added, "By the way, brother, what are you doing in Quanzhou?" ”

Li Feibai said: "Come here to buy some goods!" I will probably stay for a few days, and there will be a few more times for the two of us to sit down, and I don't know when we will be able to meet. ”

But I thought about it in my heart, no matter what, I had to find an opportunity to talk about the three hundred and sixty ways to make money in Quanzhou Academy, and earn a few scholars to go back!

Wang Gen nodded yes.

The three of them pushed the cup and changed the lamp, and drank for about an hour.

Wang Gen went away happily, Li Feibai and Qin Meng, taking advantage of the fact that the city gate was not closed, went out of the city and came to the "Must Turn Back" inn again!
