Xiang Lu drove the carriage to Xiaoniuzi Village, a mountain village close to the Sword Pavilion, and saw the crowd in front of him watching, so he stopped the carriage and went to watch.

It turned out that an old Confucian was beating a child with a family, and a mother was pulled by another family member and kept crying. The people around him dared to be angry but did not dare to speak, and no one saved the child.

Xiang Lu saw that the child was beaten with a blue nose and swollen face, and blood flowed, and if he continued to fight, he would be disabled if he did not die.

"Stop, don't fight."

When the old man heard Xiang Lu speak, he asked his men to stop first.

"Who are you? Dare to meddle with my business. ”

"In Xia Sima Xianglu, seeing that this kid is pitiful, no matter what he offends, please Haihan."

When the old Confucian heard this, he asked: "Isn't it Sima Xianglu who appreciates the inscription of the Autumn Tower?" ”

"Exactly down there."

When the old Confucian heard this, it turned out to be the old prince's honored guest, and he had to give him some thin noodles.

So, with a wave of his hand, Lao Ru's subordinates released the child and the mother, and the mother hurriedly left with the child in her arms.

Xiang Lu saw that the child and his mother were far away, so he asked, "Haven't you asked the old gentleman for his name?" ”

The old man cleared his throat and said, "The old man is the only Jinshi in these ten miles and eight townships, Tao Yuanming. ”

"Look up for a long time, look up for a long time. Mr. is Tao Yuanming, who is called 'Mr. Wuyou' by the old prince. I heard that because you are not good as an official, you rejected the recommendation of the old prince, so he rewarded you with a thousand gold and asked you to return to your hometown to write books and do learning. ”

The people around him all showed disdainful expressions.

When Xiang Lu saw today's events, he looked at everyone's faces, and knew that Tao Yuanming was just a person who deceived the world and stole his name.

"The old man has been indifferent to fame and fortune all his life, and he has long taken 'returning to the future' as his life creed. But this child joked with the four words "return", and sang a ballad: Clear water, return or not? The turtle is coming, the old turtle is coming. ”

Xiang Lu thought to himself: "It's so good to scold. ”

Tao Yuanming said flatteringly: "Sima Gongzi is appreciated by the old prince, and his literary brilliance must be extraordinary. Now the old man is celebrating his 60th birthday, can you write me an article to congratulate me. ”

"Okay, but my article must be engraved on the stone tablet and placed in front of Tao Daru's door, and the prince gave me a jade plaque, and I also want to hang it on the stone tablet."

When Tao Yuanming heard this, he was about to jump up happily, "Then ask the son to write one, and I will ask someone to engrave it on the stone tablet." ”

"Master Tao, please go back, and I will stand in front of your house tomorrow."

Tao Yuanming listened to it and happily went back with two family members.

The next day, sure enough, a stone tablet stood in front of Tao Yuanming's house, and there was a jade plaque on it, and there was indeed an article on the tablet.

It reads:

Creek Notes

The green wind is bathed in fog, and the wooden bridge is connected with the pavilion, so you can see the clear stream in the world. It is connected to the lush mountains and the abundance of the wilderness. Huixi fragrant grass, brilliant sunset. Some ancients said: Go back and come. Yu said: Where to go!

The long road to the southeast will be difficult to return to the four seas. Waves splash, wood and rocks. Over a thousand trees, leave a shadow. Wear the plains, reflecting the clouds white. Elegant like the leaves of the west wind, more affectionate than the red pendant of the maple mountain. The trickle is still there, and it is inexhaustible. The sun of the sky is raised in spring, the cool of wood is borrowed in summer, the yellow of the sad field in autumn, and the snow is next to in winter. When it meets the mountains, it flows along the river. It will form a big river with the long river, and gather thousands of directions into the ocean.

A gentleman is like a stream, and the water is soft and thousands of miles into the sea. Go to the West and don't return, and the twists and turns will be one. Suixi can enter the river to reach the river, so there is a spring, the blue wave is slight, the mountains are hidden in the forest, proudly like a green pine in the high cliff, clean like frost and dew under the moon. It is in one place, and it says: Go back and come. Is it a gentleman? Not really.

Tao Yuanming read the article, read it, and was so angry that he wanted to let people smash the monument, but as soon as he saw the jade plate of the prince, he immediately made people stop.

And everyone couldn't help but praise and laugh when they saw the above article.

Tao Yuanming sent someone to find Xiang Lu and asked him to take away the stone tablet and take back the jade plate of the prince, but Xiang Lu had already left.

Tao Yuanming had to guard the stone tablet, protect the jade plate, and be angry.

Wen Jun and Aunt Chun arrived here in a carriage and saw the text on the stele and the jade plate on the stele.

Wen Jun said to Tao Yuanming, who sighed, "Hey, where is Sima Xianglu?" ”

"I'm looking for Sima Gongzi? I beg him to take the inscription away quickly, and take back the jade plaque. ”

"You tell me, I'll help you take the jade plate away."

Tao Yuanming immediately became happy when she heard this, and thought: This little girl took it, if the old prince wants to blame her, he should blame her, without the jade plate, I will not be afraid of removing this inscription.

"Girl, he went to Hanzhong, and he just walked for more than half a day."

Wen Jun got out of the car and took the jade plate, then got in the car again and drove away.

Tao Yuanming hurriedly destroyed the stele, but steles with the same text appeared everywhere in the entire Xiaozi Village, and Tao Yuanming's resignation became a joke for a while.
