"Yin has seen Gu Ye. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biqugeγ infoβ
"Luo has seen Gu Ye."
Two people came to the table between Gu Yuansheng and Lu Chengkong, clasped their fists, bent down slightly, and bowed to Gu Yuansheng. The person on the left who calls himself "Yin" is tall and tall, with sword eyebrows and starry eyes, although he is not old last year, but he shows a calm temperament. The person on the right, who calls himself "Luo", is richly dressed, with a smile on his face, and a sense of cynicism unique to Brother Gongzi.
Gu Yuansheng stood up, saluted the two of them back, and said, "It turned out to be Yin Gongzi and Luo Gongzi, please take a seat." β
These two people, like Lu Chengkong, are both apprentices of the four schools. One person's name is Yin Zhengyi, and his father is the chief bookkeeper of Ying County, Yin Zhuo. The other person is named Luo Xiuyuan, and his father is Guo Yi Duwei of Zhichong Mansion, Luo Tian.
Although he has only been in this world for more than ten days, he has been forced by the environment to become extremely keen. Not only can he quickly capture all the information, but he can also transform this information into his own protective color, protecting himself and integrating into the world. Only in this way can we avoid harm and thus find a way back to the future.
From the eyes of these two people looking at him, Lu Chengkong could already conclude that they must know him, but he couldn't guess what the relationship was. Relying on this information alone, Lu Chengkong didn't know how to deal with these two people. He had to bury his head, try to keep his expression as usual, and secretly said in his heart: "It's not good to say it, it's wrong to say more...... I've got to find an excuse to get out of here. He was ready to come and cover the water, and made up his mind, but if he couldn't do it, he pretended to have a headache.
But what Lu Chengkong was worried about, he came to see that Yin Zhengyi had just sat down, and asked Lu Chengkong with concern: "Chengkong, your illness has been cured?" β
"I ...... Well, okay. Lu Chengkong slowly raised his head and glanced at this person, judging from his expression, he was quite concerned about himself. But Lu Chengkong thought about it: "These days, I am bedridden, but I have never seen him. This shows that his relationship with himself is average, and he will never be a close friend like Pang An. β
"Brother Lu, Brother Lu ......" Luo Xiuyuan first took a sip of tea quite intoxicated, glanced at Lu Chengkong with a smile, and said: "I heard that Brother Lu is very sick these days, and he can't seem to get out of bed, I don't know if he is seriously ill or evil?" As he spoke, the smile on his face became strange, and he said, "I didn't expect that Brother Lu was so sick, and he could still sit in the teahouse at this moment, taste tea, listen to books, and such a day is really chic." β
Although Lu Chengkong didn't know the details of the two, he listened to Luo Xiuyuan's yin and yang strange words at the moment, and then looked at his eyes, and always felt that there was something in the words, and he seemed to be hostile to himself. But at this moment, he will never have a conflict with others, nodded slightly, and said perfunctorily to the two: "Brother Yin, Brother Luo, my health is almost better, thank you for your concern." As he spoke, he quickly stood up, picked up the "Lu Sheng's Art of War" on the table, and said, "I...... I have something at home, so I have to go back first. β
"Chengkong." Yin Zhengyi looked at the "Lu Sheng's Art of War" in Lu Chengkong's hand, his face became serious, and he stopped Lu Chengkong and said, "Since you are well, why don't you come to the four schools these days?" β
"I ...... I'll be there in a few days...... Just go to the four schools. Lu Chengkong didn't expect Yin Zhengyi to look like a brother, so he had to stop and stand in place.
"Then how prepared are you going to Beijing to catch the exam?" Yin Zhengyi saw that Lu Chengkong was struggling, and frowned even more.
"Enter Beijing...... Rushing to take the exam? Lu Chengkong's mind couldn't turn around, and he exclaimed in his heart that it was not good, he didn't know all these rules, he hadn't figured out what the "four schools" and "apprentices" had, and now he was going to take the exam again, he didn't know how to answer Yin Zhengyi, he scratched his head pretendedly, and said perfunctorily: "I'm ready...... Fair. β
"Humph!" Yin Zhengyi saw that Lu Chengkong looked like he was not giving up, he was a little angry, pointed to the "Lu Sheng's Art of War" in his hand, and reprimanded: "Chengkong, we will enter Beijing next year to take the exam, why are you still reading such idle books at this critical time?" β
With a sneer on the corner of Luo Xiuyuan's mouth, he said, "Brother Yin, why are you worried about Lu Gongzi?" Even if Lu Gongzi is studying this "Lu Sheng's Art of War" day and night, is he still qualified to enter the four disciplines? Speaking of this, he pretended to be respectful and said to Lu Chengkong: "Brother Lu, according to the following, with your literary talent, you will definitely be able to go high this time, and at that time, don't forget to carry and carry you." β
Lu Chengkong hates people who speak yin and yang weird the most in his life, and Luo Xiuyuan in front of him, every word he says seems to have a sense of irony. Although he didn't know what kind of holiday he had with him, Lu Chengkong was quite unhappy at the moment, he had lost his good face, looked at Luo Xiuyuan coldly, just wanted to speak, but he couldn't help it, and said secretly: "At this time, you must not be rash." β
"Hey." Yin Zhengyi sighed and continued: "Chengkong, we have been studying the books of sages since childhood, and if a man wants to serve the country, he must take the test to gain fame. You and I are good friends, for the sake of brother, you still don't indulge in these idle books, delay the future! β
Yin Zhengyi is a few years older than Lu Chengkong, he has been familiar with the Lu family since he was a child, he studied in four subjects together, and he will go to Beijing to take the exam next year. Although this person is young, he has outstanding literary talents, and he is the son of the master of Ying County, and he has a good reputation in Ying County.
Lu Chengkong heard Yin Zhengyi use the word "brother", and then listened to the tone of his voice, he could also feel that this person really cared about himself. Lu Chengkong's face softened slightly, and he learned the demeanor of the ancients when he spoke, and said to Yin Zhengyi: "Brother Yin, I understand. β
Yin Zhengyi knew that Lu Chengkong had been addicted to idle books such as "Lu Sheng's Art of War" since he was a child, and how could he not be worried when he saw that he had no intention of taking the imperial examination? So he turned his head to Gu Yuansheng and said: "If you want to talk about the "Lu Sheng's Art of War", look at the world, it is that everyone knows it, and everyone knows it!" Yin also deeply admired Lu Sheng, but there was something unclear below, and he hoped that Gu Ye could give him some advice. β
Gu Yuansheng put down the teapot in his hand and said with some respect: "How can Yin Xiaoyou's knowledge be under the old man?" Pointing out that can't be talked about. However, if there is any doubt, it is okay to say, and the old man must know everything. β
Lu Chengkong didn't expect Yin Zhengyi to talk to Gu Yuansheng about "Lu Sheng's Art of War" again, so he immediately became interested and sat down, hoping to get more useful information.
Yin Zhengyi sat up straight, glanced at Lu Chengkong, and said, "If Lu Sheng's "Lu Sheng's Art of War" is really what he has learned all his life, then wouldn't everyone in the world be able to become Lu Sheng? But looking at the world today, which soldier has not read "Lu Sheng's Art of War"? But it's not a bunch of bears, and it's hard to have virtuous generals. Dare to ask sir, does Lu Sheng have reservations, or is the "Lu Sheng's Art of War" we read not from Lu Sheng's hand? β
"Haha." Gu Yuansheng laughed, "This is a good question, but whether this "Lu Sheng's Art of War" is the same as "Lu Sheng's Art of War" is indeed stumped for the old man." β
Lu Chengkong thought to himself: "This Yin or something, there is some truth in what I said. Since this book can be sold everywhere, maybe it is really not Lu Sheng's real work. If so, how can I go back with such a fake? β
"Good, good!" Luo Xiuyuan said to Yin Zhengyi with a look of respect: "Brother Yin is right, we and other men should focus on governing the country, men and sons, and we must make a life for the people of the world!" β
Yin Zhengyi was already eloquent, stared at Lu Chengkong and continued: "Whoever governs the country must first enrich the people, the people are rich and easy to govern, and the people are poor and difficult to govern. Now that the Tang Dynasty is prosperous, the country is rich and the people are strong, and the people are all restless to live and work, how can there be war? Books such as "The Art of War" are not only sold everywhere, but can even be read through by women and children of the old and young, which is a pastime after tea and dinner. How can statecraft come from such books? Chengkong, you and I have been studying the sages for more than ten years before we can be elected as 'apprentices' to enter Beijing to take the exam, we have this opportunity, we must take the test to gain fame and serve the country, this is the way of men! Don't let everyone down! β
When Gu Yuansheng heard this, he was quite appreciative, and thought: "Yin Zhengyi, this person is really terrifying, he has a lot of experience, and he will become a great weapon in the future." β
Lu Chengkong listened to Yin Zhengyi's words, and he didn't know how to answer, but his heart was still pondering the secrets in "Lu Sheng's Art of War". As for how to govern the country, in the future, because the pattern is too huge, it basically belongs to the category of theology, and if the college entrance examination is not taken, it will not produce any economic benefits, so how can ordinary people like Lu Chengkong learn it?
Yin Zhengyi saw that Lu Chengkong's eyes were straight, but he thought that he had not recovered his spirits, and he was still talking about the best way to govern the country, and Gu Yuansheng and Luo Xiuyuan on the side nodded approvingly frequently.
Lu Chengkong listened to it for a long time, but he didn't understand such a long speech, and he was not interested in it. However, he also knew that Yin Zhengyi's persuasion was also for his own good.
But such a good, Lu Chengkong doesn't know how to accept it.
