Chapter 209: Sour and rotten Confucianism is really stingy
Lin Zhiyang jumped off the tiger and looked at the passers-by curiously. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info
I saw that the people on the street, whether rich or poor, were all dressed appropriately, with Confucian scarves tied on their heads and long robes.
What makes Lin Zhiyang amused the most is that you can see glittering plaques on both sides of the street from time to time.
It is either written that it is virtuous and square, or it is old and virtuous, and it is clearly suspected of selling melons and boasting, which is not happy.
Passing by a shop with a plaque hanging on the world, Tang Ao looked at the dozens of rows of bookshelves inside, which were densely packed with books, and said in his heart: "Maybe you can learn about the customs of the lady country from the classics, would you like to follow me into the house?" ”
Lin Zhiyang saw that the books and classics were two circles bigger, and Duo Jiugong didn't want to waste time in a vulgar place, so he raised his hand and pointed to the tall building in front of him and said, "That's the inn restaurant, Zhiyang and I will wait for you there!" ”
Tang Ao and Yue Xiaoqun walked into the bookstore together.
Both of them have studied knowledge and love books, and they saw the exquisite engraving and printing books in the store. , quite a love to put down, soon immersed in the sea of books.
Tang Ao focused on understanding the history and customs of the Lady Country, hoping to benefit between the lines, so that he could understand the taboos of acting in the Lady Country.
However, when I saw that Shushiguo actually published the key to cultivating exercises and alchemy refining tools for sale, my heart was somewhat shocked.
There are 3,000 disciples of Confucius, and the most sage is only 72 people.
Although the introduction to cultivation is the basic knowledge, as long as you have a spiritual root, you can become a cultivator even if you study by yourself.
This is undoubtedly very terrifying, is the country of ladies a whole country?
"Shopkeeper, are these cultivation foundation tips published so casually, are they instructed by the government?" Tang Ao stopped the shopkeeper who was sorting out the bookshelves, shook the books in his hand and asked.
The shopkeeper is about 20 years old, and he bowed his hand and said: "What the guest officer said is exactly, whether it is a cultivation trick or a hundred classics, my lady can buy it at will, hasn't the guest officer seen the bookmark banner of this store?" ”
Tang Ao flipped through the book in his hand, and sure enough, there was a bookmark.
The small bookmark was written with the words "Tibetan soldiers and the people", and I felt even deeper in my heart, feeling that this lady's country could expand rapidly and really had some doorways.
Soon Tang Ao couldn't stand it anymore, because the shopkeeper obviously had the potential to teach people tirelessly, and seemed to think that he was quite good at writing, so he pulled him to talk endlessly.
The mouth was full of people, and his head was buzzing when he listened to it, and he wanted to ask the shopkeeper if he was cultivating a secret method of supernatural powers with sound waves?
Yue Xiaoqun soon got such treatment, and after hearing the shopkeeper give a basket, the two of them bowed down and bought a few books and said goodbye in a hurry.
Tang Ao exhaled and looked back at the shopkeeper's rather reluctant expression, and said fearfully: "I never thought that there were still people in the world who had a lotus flower, but today I saw it with my own eyes." ”
Yue Xiaoqun laughed and said: "Brother Xian is right, the younger brother thinks that he has learned to be rich and has five cars, and Wen Taowu is proficient in everything, and today I know that there are people outside the world, just by the mouth of the shopkeeper, the little brother is still buzzing in the clouds!" I wonder if Brother Xian ever remembered what he said? ”
Tang Ao said shamefully: "I really didn't remember, the left ear goes in and the right ear goes out, I'm afraid that it will disturb the mood if I write it down!" ”
When he came to the restaurant that Duo Jiugong said, Tang Ao found that Lin Zhiyang couldn't close his mouth with a smile, sat down and asked, "What are you so happy about?" ”
Duo Jiugong on the side explained for Lin Zhiyang: "Lin Boy finally took advantage! I don't know where I saw a few words, I dropped my book bag, and I was praised for being knowledgeable, I don't think this lady country is very good now! ”
Tang Ao smiled, and the shopkeeper who was waiting for the guests came over: "Are you guests drinking?" Or is it a dish? Our new mandarin fish is delicious, why don't you try it? ”
Tang Ao looked at the shopkeeper dressed as a Confucian scholar, and he was still holding a plum blossom folding fan in his hand, and he was full of mouths, no matter how he looked at it, he didn't look like a shopkeeper, but it was not very reliable to say that he was a well-educated person.
Thinking about what happened in the bookstore, I couldn't help but laugh and said, "Then let's serve a few of your signature dishes!" ”
The shopkeeper shouted to wait a minute, and it didn't take long for all the wine and food to be served.
Although Lin Zhiyang is young, he is not taboo in meat and vegetables, and he is also very good at the things in the cup, he poured himself a glass of wine, picked up a bean-shaped snack and chewed it, picked up the wine glass and drank it all.
With a strange scream in his mouth, he almost threw away the wine glass: "Shopkeeper, what kind of wine is this?" It's clearly vinegar! It's so sour, it's so sour. ”
Lin Zhiyang shouted, but the shopkeeper didn't speak, and an old man sitting next to him hurriedly shouted: "Little friend, don't shout, lady's vinegar is more expensive than wine, you only choose expensive wine and dishes, and the store will naturally use vinegar, not wine." ”
Lin Zhiyang muttered, is there such a reason? This lady country is also confused, how can there be a reason that vinegar and wine are not distinguished.
"Man, replace them all, this time we won't order the most expensive ones, just pick a few expensive and delicious ones."
The shopkeeper changed the wine and food, and Tang Ao and the others couldn't help but look at each other.
Because the wine and vegetables were as sour as they could not be swallowed, either green plums or shepherd's cabbage, Tang Ao tried to taste it, and suddenly felt that his tongue was raw and he couldn't help but shudder.
Seeing Tang Ao's expression, the shopkeeper shook his head and said, "The guest officer wants to change the wine and food?" A change of dish? Or two different plates......"
Lin Zhiyang stretched his arms and sleeves, and said angrily: "Do you believe that the master has burned you?" Go grab some normal food and drinks, just remember one that is not sour. ”
The shopkeeper was frightened and said yes, so that Lin Zhiyang, who wanted to have a seizure, fell on the cotton with a punch, and felt uncomfortable: "How can this lady country be upside down like a woman's country!" It's really annoying to watch. ”
The old man sitting next to him saw Lin Zhiyang intimidating the shopkeeper, and his face changed slightly: "How can the hall of elegance be noisy, if you affect me with this unscrupulous statement, I am very afraid, so I plead, brother, brother, don't say anything more." ”
Tang Ao waited and listened to the old man's empty words, he couldn't help but feel numb, but he felt funny, and he couldn't hold back his laughter one by one, only to feel that his whole body was going to tremble.
"Xiao'er, take a pot of light wine, accompanied by plum blossom boiled meat, and two plates of green beans." When Tang Ao and the others couldn't help laughing, another person sat next to him, although he was a lupine scarf, but his conversation was acceptable.
Tang Ao looked at the wine and food served to him by the shopkeeper again, which was similar to his own taste, and suddenly felt that this was a person who could talk, so he arched his hand and said: "My husband is invited, I don't know the honorable name?" ”
"I don't know who Xiaoyou's surname is?" The old man surnamed Confucian asked Tang Ao's name, and said boldly: "Since you have come to drink, it is better to drink than to drink alone, why don't you deign to come over and drink a glass together?" ”
"It should be me waiting for my husband to invite him." At Tang Ao's insistence, the old man surnamed Confucian came to Tang Ao's table, and after asking the names of Yue Xiaoqun and others, everyone knew each other.
The changed wine and dishes were complete, and Tang Ao first toasted the old man surnamed Confucian.
The wine was still a little sour, but it was not so difficult to swallow, he put down the wine glass and asked: "Uncle, we are all foreigners, I don't know why this lady country is dressed as Confucianism, farmers and businessmen?" Even the rulers are like this, isn't there no distinction between the high and the low? ”
The old man surnamed Confucian smiled slightly: "Our country has always been like this, however, up to the princes and nobles, down to the common people of Li, although the clothing is the same, there are cloth colors, the clothing is yellow as the respect, red and purple second, blue again, and cyan is the most humble. ”
Tang Ao was stunned, thinking about what he had seen along the way, and sure enough, most of the merchants were wearing blue and blue Confucian shirts, so the truth was here!
The old man surnamed Confucian continued: "The Lady has a law, and the common people are not called vagrants if they do not become famous, and can only serve as a variety of lowly industries, not among the farmers and industrialists, and are often ridiculed, so everyone in the Lady Country is proud of studying, although they cannot wear blue shirts to rank among officials, but they can also win a green shirt among the famous teachers, not among the vagrants. ”
"In the words of the old man, ordinary people have to study hard every day?" Tang Ao thought that the country of ladies hid soldiers from the people, and he never thought that it would be so hard to be a common man, and it seemed that it was not easy for the whole country to be soldiers.
Lin Zhiyang interjected: "Uncle, I see that there are plaques hanging on both sides of the street, and even outside the walls of private houses. Did you do something wrong? ”
The old man surnamed Confucian twisted his beard in his hand: "That is although his person is in the famous religion, but there is a misdemeanor, and he has done something illegal and undisciplined, but he is not guilty of dying, and he has stripped his fame of his fame, so he set up such a plaque to remind him to reform himself, if he does illegal things again, he will have his own official door lock, so that the lady country can sit on the road and not pick up the night and not close the door." ”
Tang Ao was in the officialdom and well-read, and felt that these laws and customs of the Lady Country had merit.
But there are too many rules and regulations, and governing the place like this doesn't make people stupid!
Tang Ao had a very happy conversation with the old man surnamed Confucianism, but this good impression was greatly discounted at the time of parting.
When Tang Ao settled the money for the sake banquet, the old man surnamed Confucian took out a sweat towel from his arms, packed the remaining wine and vegetables, such as green beans and salt beans, into his arms, and said with a slightly red face: "Since the wine money has been paid, instead of wasting these scraps in vain, it is better to take them back and continue to eat, but I want to thank Brother Tang for their hospitality." ”
The old man surnamed Confucian lifted the lid of the wine jug again, and saw that there were still two glasses of wine left in it, so he called the shopkeeper and said: "This half pot of wine is stored here with you, if there is less tomorrow, you will have to compensate me for a whole pot." ”
The shopkeeper fanned the plum blossom fan, and said with a bitter face: "Uncle, where is there still half a pot of wine here, don't coax me." ”
Lin Zhiyang's elbow bumped into Tang Ao, and he said, "Big brother, aren't we in the wrong place?" How is it more like a gutless country? ”
Tang Ao glared at Lin Zhiyang, and saw that the old man surnamed Confucian had negotiated with the shopkeeper, so he asked the old man surnamed Confucian to go first.
When the old man surnamed Confucian passed by the door, he saw a toothpick on the dining table that was a little bald, picked it up and put it under his nose and smelled it, felt that the sour smell was not so big, wiped it with his hand and put it in the sleeve of his robe.
Although the old man surnamed Confucian was very hidden, how could he hide it from the eyes of Tang Ao and others, they were all speechless, and the farewell words of the old man surnamed Confucian were perfunctory.
