The name change of the natural residence came to an end, and several scholars said that they wanted to meet with the owner who wrote the couplet, and Xu Yuan gladly accepted. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 infoThese scholars don't have the mentality of not seeing the good of others, but they are very curious about this owner. After meeting Xu Yuan, after each of them passed their names, they knew that the owner was the son-in-law of the Su family, who was famous. They also heard a little about Xu Yuan's bookish story, and they were busy praising and admiring it.

Ning Zhongkang said: "I don't know if the words on the plaque are from Brother Xu's hand, I think the words are very powerful, not like the current mainstream, faintly self-contained." This is a very high compliment, and listening to his tone, it is not a mutual praise from the readers. Xu Yuan arched his hand slightly and said, "Yes, it's exactly what I wrote." In recent years, it has been working behind closed doors, which makes Ning Gongzi smile. "Brother Xu is modest, even if the teachers in our school are not too reckless, it is really rare for a literati like Brother Xu to not be vain and only read the books of sages." Xu Yuan chatted with them all over the world, and as soon as the scholars, especially the scholars in ancient times, chatted, the topic turned to politics. Xu Yuan was listening more often, and occasionally interjecting a sentence or two was also to the point, which made all the readers admire.

When the new emperor of the Great Zhou Dynasty ascended the throne, he wanted to show his strength, promote reforms, strengthen armaments, implement regular evaluations of officials, change the promotion system to make it stricter, reduce labor and taxes, and achieve the goal of enhancing national strength. However, the reform was met with great resistance from the beginning, and the conservative faction led by Qin Rui showed great resistance to the reform, and the reform was difficult. The new emperor was stunned at once, which was completely different from his vision, and the difficult progress of the reform made him lose confidence. At this time, there was an extremely embarrassing scene in the court, the reformers and the conservatives quarreled, and the new emperor, who was supposed to strongly support the reform, suddenly had an ambiguous attitude, and a storm slowly formed.

While the scholars were supporters of the reformers, Xu Yuan put forward a different point of view. "Although Elder Zixiu has a great prestige in the court, their reform has touched the interests of the entire scholar class after all, and now only some people have jumped out, but with the further deepening of the reform, more and more people will be embarrassed by him. Now it is difficult to guarantee even the support of the emperor, and in my opinion it is not appropriate for him to continue. These words naturally caused a lot of controversy, and Xu Yuan also answered them one by one, and several scholars were so noisy that their faces turned red. However, this matter has not yet been decided, and a few of them are just talking about it, fortunately, there are no pretentious people among them, thinking that they can guide the country, and the princes in the court are all stupid, eager to save the people from fire and water immediately.

Words have to be talked, and meals have to be eaten. Xu Yuan specially asked Lao Zhao to burn a chicken called Hua and send it over, so that the scholars were addicted to eating, and they didn't care about the image of a reader, Sun Jun was quick and grabbed a fat chicken leg, which made everyone scold, he held his head high, biting the chicken leg with a look of enjoyment, looking like what can you do with me. Xu Yuan also sat down next to him, grabbed a few chopsticks, and Ning Zhongkang talked with him, and everyone was full of style.

Everyone discussed going to the teahouse to listen to the story, and called Xu Yuan. Xu Yuan naturally couldn't leave Su Jun and Ling'er behind, so he also took them with him. He and Su Jun were talking and laughing on the road, and the bell interjected a few words from time to time, leisurely. This comfortable day will indeed consume people's ambitions, and Xu Yuan, who has lived a lifetime, does not have the ambition to help the world and the world, and he has also reached a relatively peak situation in his previous life, so he naturally knows the feeling of being cold in a high place. Sometimes looking at Su Jun's side face, I can't help but feel that I lived with her in Huining like this. Just seek a small wealth and be safe, not a prominent party.

Su Jun is a graceful character, like a standard Jiangnan woman, delicate and lovely, just like that, she faintly exudes the fragrance of a woman. She is not the kind of lady who will be sad in autumn and spring, and she can't walk when she sees a talented person, after getting along in the past few days, Xu Yuan found that she loves life very much, for example, she likes to make pastries very much, and Xu Yuan is very happy to eat it with a look of enjoyment. She had never had the experience of going to a teahouse to listen to a story, and she had only invited people from her family before, so she was a little curious and looking forward to it. And Ling'er was happy, chirping about Xu Yuan this and that, and told him about the excitement of people from the family talking about books in the past, saying that in fact, Mrs. liked this very much. Xu Yuan looked at Su Jun, she smiled slightly, and lowered her head again, like a little girl who had done something wrong and was caught.

"Xianggong has been to that teahouse, I don't know what it looks like." "I haven't been there, but I think there's an old man telling stories on it, a girl singing lyrics, we drink tea, and there will be people applauding and rewarding good places." Although he had never been there in this life, he had been there a few times in his previous life, but he didn't like it very much. There are not many entertainment activities for people here, and listening to the story is also a program suitable for all ages and elegant and vulgar. In fact, the northern teahouses in the previous life, and the teahouses in Jiangsu and Zhejiang are not the same, but in this Great Zhou, the northern teahouse form is popular all over the country, and Xu Yuan's words are not wrong.

The teahouse where Ning Zhongkang and the others went was not a low-level place, there were a total of forty-eight mahogany tables in the lobby, and there was a platform in front of it, and an old man was holding a fan, his mouth was turning up and down, and he heard applause from time to time. There are private rooms on both sides, the carvings are extraordinary, and there are a few words hanging, which must have been mentioned by some celebrity. As soon as he entered the door, he beckoned a few people to sit down, and Xu Yuan asked for a small table and ordered a pot of tea and snacks with Su Junling'er.

The stage tells the story of the Anshi Rebellion, and the old man is also experienced, and he grasps the beginning and end very naturally, pausing when he should pause, and speaking when he should make a sound. Xu Yuan listened and exchanged opinions with Su Jun from time to time, which was also interesting. The bell was a little distracted, and when the old man talked about the Tang Ming Emperor reciting the wish of being a winged bird in heaven and the wish of Lian Li Zhi on the earth, the two little girls cried and wept for this poignant love. Xu Yuan couldn't help pouting, saying that he couldn't get the tears of the story.

The old man bowed and was about to retreat, when suddenly a voice came from the private room, "The little prince of King Mu's mansion has rewarded fifty taels of silver." The old man did not retreat immediately, but the expression on his face was a little embarrassed. The people around him suddenly started to discuss. "I heard that the little prince has taken a fancy to this old Mr. Li's daughter, and he has been here for five or six days in a row." "But I heard that Mr. Li returned the bounty every time." "It's not, it's so old to have a baby girl, doesn't it hurt."

The old man arched his hand at the elegant room and said, "I understand the kindness of the little prince, but I can't accept this money." The man brought the bounty and waved his hand to send it back. The guy stood there, torn between two sides.

One person in the crowd coaxed: "Lao Zhao, you see that the little prince is so rare for your daughter, after she got married, she didn't eat fragrant and spicy food, you will be stained with the royal family." Lao Zhao didn't answer, and at this time, a boy in a brocade robe came out of the private room, holding a folding fan in his hand, which could be called a Xuanyu Xuanang. Eighteen or nineteen years old, a little shy, followed by a small guy, said: "Uncle, let's go backstage to talk." Walking towards the storyteller, Lao Zhao sighed and retreated.

Xu Yuan took a sip of tea, his lips and teeth fragrant. "That little prince doesn't look like a bully." Su Jun smiled slightly: "That little prince is very famous, but Mu Wangfu's family education is very strict, and he only stays in the land of wind and dust, which is more good than notorious." "Indeed, the romance of ancient times is really a good name, as long as you don't bully the women of good families, everyone is still very open-minded to men.

After the old man went down, a woman in her thirties came holding the pipa and babbling and singing, her voice was clear, and everyone listened quietly. More than ten minutes later, she also stepped off the stage after singing. There was no one on the stage, and everyone began to talk about the world, some said that this year's business was not as good as their peers complained, and there were also people who were making friends who were flattering another person vigorously, and more talked about politics and taxes.

Xu Yuan said to the second daughter: "If you feel bored, I'll tell you a story." Su Jun said curiously: "Xianggong might as well talk about it." He thought for a moment and told the story of Journey to the West, "Chaos is not divided into heaven and earth, and no one can see it." Since Pangu broke Hongmeng, it has opened up from Ziqing to distinguish turbidity. Covering the masses of beings to look up to benevolence, inventing all things to be good. If you want to know the Yuan Gong of the Creation Society, you must watch "Journey to the West". Feeling Pangu opened up, the three emperors ruled the world, the five emperors Dinglun, between the world, it was divided into four continents: said Dongsheng Shenzhou, said West Niuhe Zhou, said South Ganbu Continent, said North Juluzhou...... "Speaking of the stone monkey broke out of the stone, entered the water curtain cave and called the king, the bell is already full of little stars, the story progresses layer by layer, there is a monkey who died of illness, and the stone monkey longs for immortality and crosses east to seek the way of immortality. Speaking of the funny things about the stone monkey in the human world, the second daughter couldn't help but giggle.

Immersed in one thing, he didn't feel the speed of time passing, when it came to the treasure theft of the Stone Monkey Dragon Palace, Xu Yuan couldn't help but have a dry mouth, poured a sip of tea and drank it, and when he saw the sky, he said: "It's not too early, it's time to go home." At this time, there were already many people around listening, and Xu Yuan did not expel their onlookers, everyone loves to listen to good stories. At this time, a person said: "This son, I don't know if I can come to the teahouse tomorrow to continue talking." Xu Yuanyi arched his hand and said: "I'm sorry, I'm afraid it won't work tomorrow, and I will come again when I have a chance in the future." After speaking, he took Su Jun's hand and left. There was a sigh from the crowd.

The owner of the teahouse listened to the man's report and asked, "But I have inquired clearly, the origin of that son." "Those who went back to the shopkeeper inquired clearly, that son came with Ning Zhong Kangning Gongzi of Huining Academy, his name is Xu Yuan, and he is a scholar, but he doesn't seem to be studying in Huining Academy. He is also the owner of Qingfeng Zhai on Wenxing Street. "Wait, isn't Qingfeng Zhai the Su family's property?" "Yes, Xu Yuan's wife is the second lady of the Su family, and Qingfeng Zhai is her dowry." The shopkeeper touched his beard with his hand, fell into thought, and then he said: "Don't make a public announcement of this matter, I'll go to Lao Zhao to discuss, and you will tell him the story you heard later, if it's really that good, this is not a lost opportunity." The guy nodded yes, but there was a subtle smile on his face as he looked down.
