9-7 Talk on a snowy night

When I entered the house, I saw two jars of wine on a square table, a plate of dried green beans with bamboo shoots, a plate of dried tofu, and two bowls of cold rice, Xiao Ming was squatting on the side to fan the charcoal stove, there was a kettle on the stove, the room was poorly furnished, the covers on the wooden bed were very old, the corners of the two rattan boxes were worn, the lid of the box was lifted, and there were books inside.

Gu Yanwu beckoned Liu Ziguang to sit down, turned his head to see that Xiao Ming was already a little sleepy, and said, "Xiao Ming, eat early and rest peacefully." Mr. Gu personally opened the mud seal of the wine jar, poured the rice wine into a small copper kettle, put it on the stove and stewed, and said to Liu Ziguang: "The wine and food are vulgar, and I hope that Haihan is still looking." ”

Liu Ziguang said: "Where is it, Liu is from a poor background, how can he care about this, but this rice wine is missing some condiments." Gu Yanwu smiled when he heard this: "Hou Ye is also a person who can drink, and it is best to drink rice wine and plum rock candy when it is heated on the stove, but these two good things are very rare, so I can only settle for it." ”

Liu Ziguang said: "Liu has already prepared for Mr. here." As he spoke, he took out a paper bag from his arms, which was filled with rock candy and plums, Gu Yanwu was overjoyed when he saw it, and quickly took it and put it in the copper kettle, shrugged his nose a few times, and asked, "What other good dishes?" Liu Ziguang said: "There is also a bag of sauced beef, I was afraid that Mr. would blame, so I didn't dare to take it out." ”

Gu Yanwu said: "It's okay, the wine and meat have passed through the intestines, the Buddha sits in his heart, only there is a Buddha in his heart, why do you need to stick to those vulgar rituals." Liu Ziguang took out a large bag of sauced beef in his arms and spread it on the table, this is the best beef in the capital Sanzhenzhai, cut very thinly one by one, smelling fragrant, hooking Xiao Ming's gluttonous insects, and couldn't stop swallowing the sound of saliva, Gu Yanwu laughed, took some beef with chopsticks and put it in Xiao Ming's bowl, turned his face to Liu Ziguang and said: "See it." ”

What kind of Confucian is this, he is simply a kind old man, Liu Ziguang thought it was very interesting, helped the plates and bowls to be arranged, poured the hot wine into the small black pottery bowl, and the two drank it together.

Now that Peng Jingrong has invited Mr. Gu out of the mountain, there is nothing more nonsense needed, all that is needed is communication and understanding, Liu Ziguang wants to run a academy, please ask Gu Yanwu to be the head of the mountain, this meeting is a conversation between the school director and the principal, although Gu Yanwu is a great Confucian, but he is not pedantic, but very free and easy, probably the famous mountains and rivers have gone a lot, and his gestures are full of pride, he knows that Liu Ziguang is a military general and has no knowledge, so he does not talk about profound things with him, but just casually talks about some major events of the national economy and people's livelihood in the world, are all common topics in teahouses and restaurants, but what Liu Ziguang said has opened Gu Yanwu's eyes from time to time, from the stars to geography, from the situation in the northwest to the situation in the South China Sea, from the exchange between copper coins and silver ingots to the trading of stocks in the bank, every topic can put forward insightful opinions, sharp words are often in one sentence, and after talking for a while, Gu Yanwu has been impressed by this famous martial artist.

"Master Hou said that the world is a round ball? Isn't that the man on the back of the ball going to be head-down? Gu Yanwu asked.

"Of course not, this is called gravity, it's too complicated, I'll talk to you slowly when I have time." Liu Ziguang raised the wine bowl and said, the two small jars of wine were almost drunk, Liu Ziguang had successfully fooled Gu Yanwu, the rice wine was added to the plum rock candy and then heated, and the stomach was warm, but it was not drunk, when the two of them were drunk, the jar was empty, this was really a bad scenery, Gu Yanwu got up and pushed open the window and wanted to sell wine, only to see snowflakes floating outside the door, the apricot blossoms and snow in late winter were in the dark night, and the dim oil lamps were shining one after another, swirling, and they melted when they landed, but they were extremely beautiful.

"Green ants are freshly brewed with wine, and the red clay is a small stove.

If you want snow in the evening, you can drink a glass of nothing. Liu Ziguang suddenly chewed the words and chanted a poem, which shocked Gu Yanwu even more, although it was not an improvisation poem by him, but it was not easy for an illiterate person to chant funny poems in response to the situation. Seeing that Gu Yanwu was going to buy wine, Liu Ziguang persuaded: "The wine shops in the middle of the night are all on the door, but I have prepared a pot of wine, I'm afraid that the old gentleman will not be used to it." As he spoke, he walked to the door and picked up a big gourd from the door and said, "This is the Northern Spirits Burning Knife, why don't you have some?" ”

Gu Yanwu laughed: "Very good! It's a great thing! "He is a good wine person, but rice wine is popular in the south, and it is difficult to sell spirits, so there is no preparation, and it will snow tonight, and it will be a bit bad to drink rice wine again, or the northern spirits and beef will be happy.

At this time, Xiao Ming had finished eating rice and lay down, Gu Yanwu tightened Xiao Ming's quilt, beckoned Liu Ziguang to move the small table and stove to the eaves outside the door, looked at the fluttering snowflakes, and drank the liquor warmly, Liu Ziguang took advantage of the situation to tell some inspirational stories about himself when he was a slave and later fought the Manchu Dynasty, which corresponded to Gu Yanwu's famous sentence "The rise and fall of the world, the husband is responsible", the touching story made the old man sigh, and he saluted Liu Ziguang several bowls in a row.

"As the so-called hero doesn't ask the source, Hou Ye created this world-famous feat as a slave, which is really embarrassing for my generation of scholars." Gu Yan martial arts.

"Where is it, the courage of the horseman, how can the gentleman wave his arms, the rise and fall of the world is the responsibility of the husband The eternal famous sentence inspires me Chinese millions of people to fight for the country and the nation, if the merit is still stronger than the gentleman." Liu Ziguang's words were indeed from the bottom of his heart, and Gu Yanwu was also very useful when he heard it, and his impression of Liu Ziguang was better.

Liu Ziguang changed his words, and then said: "Martial artists can only solve a temporary urgency, and the key is to rely on literati to awaken the conscience of the people. I think there is a problem with education, so I want to ask Mr. to go out of the mountain, and make the bones of the young people of Daming education harder, I am a rough person who can't help much, I can only produce some silver, so that poor students can study, but also read good books, learn to become talents, this big task still needs to be borne by Mr. ”

Gu Yanwu said: "This Mrs. Ling has been introduced, originally the little old man thought that Hou Ye was trying to sell his reputation, so he refused in every way, even if he entered Beijing this time, he also wanted to leave in a perfunctory manner, but he never expected Hou Ye to be so righteous."

, it seems that the little old man is narrow-minded, alas, please accept the little old man's worship! ”

Gu Yanwu was obviously drunk, and actually wanted to kneel down to Liu Ziguang, where did Liu Ziguang dare to agree, he refused to obey, Gu Yanwu had no choice, and proposed to marry Jin Lan with Liu Ziguang, this time Liu Ziguang did not refuse, the two bowed to the sky in the Zen courtyard of this Da Bao'en Temple against the snowflakes, and formed brothers with different surnames. After worshipping, Gu Yanwu fell asleep, and the snoring sound shook the sky.

Liu Ziguang carried the old gentleman into the house alone, took off his shoes and put them on the bed, opened the quilt cover, saw that the quilt was a little thin, and pressed his tiger skin on the quilt, and the stove was carried into the house, for fear of causing gas poisoning. Thinking about it, he felt funny, flickering back and forth and actually fooling Gu Yanwu into a sworn brother, this relationship can be regarded as iron, and the things of the academy can be assured in the future, it can be regarded as a big public relations victory, he is happy to think about it, he picked up the wine jug and wanted to drink a glass, only to know that the wine jug was empty, he said in his heart that this old man can really drink, first did at least two catties of rice wine, and then came a pound and a half of burning knives, the amount of wine is really good, the wine is good, the wine is like a character, this person can be handed. Liu Ziguang gently closed the door and left.

People have already slept, the snow is still falling, the snowflakes fall to the ground and melt, adding a touch of loneliness, the night is deep, the shadows of the trees in the silent temple are swaying, Liu Ziguang walked slowly alone, he felt a lot of emotion in his heart, and he was annoyed when he thought about the things at home, and he also touched the nail when he entered the palace during the day to face the saint and talked about the issue of immigrating to Song, Zhu Youxiao categorically rejected this proposal, fortunately, Liu Ziguang was in a hurry, and changed the topic to prisoners with Song, which was barely passed, but the emperor passed here, and the cabinet had to deliberate, and there would inevitably be a debate tomorrow.

Alas, what should be done is still to be done, there must be a road before the car reaches the mountain, and in any case, this Age of Exploration cannot be missed. He secretly made up his mind that he would contact familiar officials tomorrow in order to support him in the court meeting, and he also found Hu Yimin in Rishengchang to discuss the establishment of a stock exchange.

Walking all the way, thinking all the way, I unconsciously arrived at the moon gate across the courtyard, a paper umbrella was raised, it was a guard who had been waiting here for a long time, and a monk who wore a thick monk's robe, with a flattering smile: "Master Hou, it's snowing, it's better to rest in the temple, the good meditation room will help you clean up." ”

Liu Ziguang said: "Thank you for your kindness, you still don't bother." "After that, I took the guards to walk away in the snow, but I hesitated for a while when I got out of the gate of Bao'en Temple, where should I go now? The house was chaotic like that and he didn't want to go back, and he didn't want to disturb Zeng Cheng when it was too late, he glanced at the guards and asked, "Have you eaten?" The guards said, "Back to the Hou Ye, the little ones used some tofu rice in the temple." ”

"Thank you for your hard work, go to Qinhuai River with Ben Hou to drink! Drink until dawn and go back. As soon as Liu Ziguang said this, the guards immediately cheered, it is now the third watch, but some restaurants by the Qinhuai River are open 24 hours a day, and there are wine and food ladies waiting at any time, the price is expensive, the consumption level is very high, not ordinary people can go up, Hou Ye is willing to pay money to invite everyone to go chic, and everyone is naturally happy to accompany them.
