Cui Renshi stood up with his cane supporting his body, he frowned and bowed his back, looking at this young face with cloudy old eyes, "Well, it does look very average." ”

Zhang Yang was stared at a little furious, and leaned back a little and said, "You always seem to be looking at a very rare object." ”

"Rare, indeed rare."

"Is there anything different about my face?"

Cui Renshi was thinking about it, he wanted to speak and stopped, but just said, "It's too ordinary." ”

Seeing that Zhang Yang was leaving, Cui Renshi said again: "Young people don't feel bored, the old man still has a few things to ask." ”

"You say."

With his back to him while talking, Zhang Yang didn't want to face to face with this old man.

"White sugar, Pei Xuanji, artillery."

"Well, and then what?"

"Although I am not sure, I always feel that there is a connection between these things, and there is no evidence."

After a pause, he took another sip of tea, and continued: "These things have passed, and the dust should settle, I wanted to ask at this moment, but I felt that it was useless to ask." ”

He looked at the young man's back, and said, "I heard that you want to make Datang rich and strong?" ”

Zhang Yang nodded, not denying it.

Cui Renshi said in a low voice, "You are very rich now. ”

This old man gives people a feeling, it is a sense of vicissitudes, as if he has a lot of things hidden in him, or he has done too much for the Central Plains family.

"My wealth is in Datang, and if I am rich, Datang will be rich, and I can also make more people rich, instead of gaining wealth through selection and plundering like your family, the family will only extend its hand to poor ordinary people."

"The family is evil, why do you old man help them do so much? You want them to change, but their roots are rotten, how can you change? ”

"What a bloody word." Cui Renshi sighed: "How many years, I haven't heard such words, oh ......"

He paused and said, as if reminiscing, "Recently, there have been such words, those poor people who have been whispering have torn down the walls of the family, thinking that a good life is just around the corner, right?" ”

His old voice said again, "Yes, you are a person with a good heart. ”

Zhang Yang said in a low voice: "That's because you haven't seen the light. ”

"Have you seen it?"

"I've seen it, but it's no longer there."

"I see." Cui Renshi thought for a long time, and then said, "How about you make a game with the old man?" ”

"I refuse."

Cui Renshi's old face was full of wrinkles when he laughed, it was ugly and unsightly, this face looked at the straight back in front of him stupidly, and said: "It is said that Lishan does not matter land annexation, and it is also very disgusted with land annexation, if you don't do those things, it doesn't mean that others won't." ”

"You are still young, but the old man is old, from the perspective of land annexation, if this Li Tang Sheji can't change this matter within ten years, you need to make amends to the old man, if Lishan really does it, the old man will make amends to you, and make amends to the people of the world for the family."

This time, Zhang Yang came back to his senses and looked at him, "You apologize to the people of the world on behalf of the family?" ”

"Hmm."

"Can your words represent the Central Plains family?"

"Do you think you've won?" Cui Renshi said again: "The old man can write a book of reparation and let the children of each family draw a pledge, haven't you Lishan always believed in such a contract?" ”

Zhang Yang bowed his head and did not speak.

"According to your Lishan approach, what do you think of this situation?" He smiled casually again, "Don't worry, but it doesn't matter whether the world will forgive the family or not, the important thing is a book of reparations, doesn't Tian Khan want it?" ”

Zhang Yang Zhengse said: "You are a very complicated old man. ”

"Hehehe......"

Cui Renshi's voice when he laughed was very unpleasant, and the way he laughed was also very unsightly, "If you win, the family will admit the crime, and if you lose, you can make amends to the old man alone, oh...... That's right. ”

He added: "Maybe the old man will not live for ten years, if you lose, pour a bowl of tea in front of the old god's spiritual seat." ”

Zhang Yang beckoned his daughter.

"Daddy! Is my daughter still reciting poems? With that, she looked at the old man again.

"Dad, the child still has to recite poems with his sister."

Xiao Qingqing picked up the scroll and tapped his younger brother's forehead, blaming him for repeating his words in his eyes.

"Well, these two children are really exactly the same as you, they all say that the child is like a father when he is young, and he is like a mother when he grows up."

Zhang Yang said in a low voice: "Bring pen, ink and paper to this old man." ”

Xiao Qingqing looked at Cui Renshi more, and then walked into the village.

"Sister!" Jing An followed the footsteps and whispered, "That old man's parents are so scary." ”

"He's a bad guy."

"Do all bad guys look like this?"

"How do I know?"

Xiao Qingqing impatiently dealt with a bunch of questions from his younger brother, asked Ouyang for pen, ink and paper, and then came to the entrance of the village again.

A plank is lifted, and the four legs under the board are pulled apart, and it becomes a table.

Cui Renshi picked up the pen and began to write, wrote more than 100 words freely, and said: "Well, after the death of the old man, this book will be kept by descendants, you can rest assured, rest assured ......"

As he spoke, he took a roll of paper and left on crutches.

"Dad, he's a bad guy." Be careful to reply.

"Let's go home and eat."

"Okay."

The siblings hurried to follow their father's footsteps.

Because Xiong Da and Xiong Er have to plough the land these days, they can't accompany the two little masters.

Lishan does not raise idlers, the bears of Lishan have to plough the land, the cattle of Lishan are unemployed, and then the cattle rob the donkeys of the work and go to pull the goods in the village.

Later, the donkeys in the village lived with the dogs.

Later, the dogs in the village were in a hurry, and they would drive the donkeys far away.

Out of morality, Lishan did not kill the three donkeys, but sold them to Long Wujun for a hundred yuan each.

Since then, the life of the donkey has become more miserable.

Cui Renshi went to Chang'an City, and he was originally a palace attendant in the court.

At the beginning, Li Zhengzao's accident was at the time of the recess in the court, and at that time he felt that something was going to happen to the family, so he kept walking between several families in the Central Plains at that time.

Then something really happened, and it's been three years since now.

In the past three years, I have not given His Majesty an explanation.

In front of Chengtian Gate, Du Zhenglun stood here to greet the elderly.

Cui Renshi looked at it for a long time before he recognized the person in front of him, and said in a low voice: "It turned out to be Zhenglun." ”

"I've seen the old gentleman, but I haven't seen him for many years."

"Well, I haven't seen you for many years, when the old man served in the Duzhilang, His Majesty noticed that there was a mistake in the accounts, and you still came to mention the old man."

Du Zhenglun, who was over forty years old, saluted and said: "That was the fourth year of Zhenguan, but it was found out back then, and it was all a misunderstanding. ”

Cui Renshi walked into Chengtianmen step by step with a cane and said slowly: "Now ......"

"Now Xia Guan is the prince's left concubine, and he is urging the prince to study together with Ma Zhou and Zheng Gong."

"Well, unconsciously after so many years, the people in the court and the old man don't know each other, and I almost don't know you anymore."

"The old gentleman is here to ...... this time."

"Say goodbye." Cui Renshi sighed.

Du Zhenglun accompanied the old gentleman to the outside of the Wude Palace, I don't know what the old gentleman said to His Majesty, the old gentleman had already taken off his official body when he came out.

After walking out of the imperial city and out of the Vermilion Bird Gate, Cui Renshi went to see Zhao Guogong again.

Cui Renshi came to the mansion of Zhao Guogong, where there were many attendants who came and went.

Walking into the main hall, the eldest grandson Wuji had already prepared tea, "Old gentleman, please take a seat." ”

Cui Renshi nodded and sat down, and said in a low voice: "The old man has gone to see Zhang Yang." ”

"The old gentleman hasn't seen him before?"

"Well, when Lu Chengqian was exiled, Lao Yu wanted to see him, he had seen him from a distance before, and when he saw that he had changed, Lao Yu felt that he was a very tricky young man."

"How tricky?"

Cui Renshi's fingers rubbed the edge of the tea bowl, and his eyes looked at the tea, "He is very young, very calm, a little temperamental but not presumptuous, has means and patience, um!" Seeing only these, I felt that it was tricky, Xu Guogong has always had the ability to recognize people, he has seen Zhang Yang? ”

"Yes." The eldest grandson Wuji replied: "Uncle said that he is an unscrupulous person. ”

"Well, Xu Guogong has never been wrong about knowing people, so what does Zhao Guogong think?"

The eldest grandson Wuji replied: "He is very proud, he has a different view of right and wrong, Lishan's knowledge is more like the world, since he moved to Lishan, he is no longer clumsy, he is very calculating, as the old gentleman said is a very tricky person, the younger generation is incomparable." ”

"It's rare for Zhao Guogong to have such a high opinion of people."

Cui Renshi said that, smiled, and laughed very happily.

The eldest grandson Wuji couldn't understand what the old gentleman was laughing at, and said: "There are many young talents in the court, and many of them are under the Lishan sect, Zhang Da'an, Pei Xingjian, Xue Rengui, and Shangguanyi in the future." ”

Cui Renshi only had Zhang Yang in his eyes, he had no interest in other people, and he couldn't raise any interest, so he lowered his head and said: "Zhang Da'an is the secretary of the Ministry of Rites at a young age, so what?" It is not a good thing that he lacks experience and is prematurely appointed to the list of scholars. ”

"Pei Xingjian, Xue Rengui was born in Hedong, he was recruited by Zhang Yang early, and he made a lot of contributions to the west.

"As for Shangguan Yi, hehehe......" Cui Renshi shook his head and said, "It's not enough." ”

The eldest grandson Wuji said again: "There are also Xu Jingzong, Di Zhixun, and Li Yifu." ”

Cui Renshi shook his head, these people are not important, and said, "I heard that Your Majesty has recently alienated Zhao Guogong?" ”

The eldest grandson Wuji saluted and said, "Well, there are many rumors in the court. ”

"Well, the old man came to see you, it was not your fault that the original thing could not be undone, and there is no need to feel guilty, just like Zhang Yang said, this is the choice of the world."

Cui Renshi left again, this time he walked out of Chang'an City, and a few days later someone sent a message, saying that the old man had gone to Hedong.

At the foot of Hukou Waterfall in the east of the river, Cui Renshi met a young man, who was Pei Xuanji and Pei Juhou.

Cui Renshi looked at the waterfall and said, "I can't finish seeing this kind of scenery, and I can't finish it in a lifetime." ”

Pei Xuanji poured two bowls of wine and said with a smile: "Fenjiu is rare, drink it together." ”

After taking a sip of wine, Cui Renshi frowned and said, "I knew that the person behind you was Zhang Yang, and I should have killed you in the first place to prevent future troubles." ”

"I've forgotten all the things of the past, so why do you want to mention it."

"What did Zhang Yang promise you at the beginning?"

"Future." Pei Xuanji smiled heartily: "A great future." ”

"Is it just teaching here?"

"Teach!" Pei Xuanji nodded heavily and laughed loudly: "Hahaha! Teaching is the greatest future you can seek! ”

Cui Renshi's eyes dimmed, his breathing became a little heavier, and he suddenly laughed at himself, "The old man has traveled all over the Central Plains to settle those old people of the family, but you are teaching here?" ”

"Isn't it good? I love to teach. ”

"You've done so much just for that."

Cui Renshi seemed to have suffered a huge blow, and the spirit of the whole person was emptied of a few points, he was so tired in the past two years, tired that he was full of gray hair.

"If you can enjoy wealth and prosperity, and you can become an official, you can also be convinced of what you did in those two years of birth and death."

Pei Xuanji pointed to his face and said, "Look at it, you're all fat down here." ”

"The heart is wide and the body is fat, you let it go, you are old and unwilling, and you are unwilling."

The poor old man can only sigh now, and the family is in ruins.

Pei Xuanji took a wine jug and took a deep breath towards the waterfall, and said loudly: "Be happy!" I've never been so happy in the next. ”

Cui Renshi silently got into the carriage and asked the coachman to drive the horse away.

Many losers are unwilling, and in order to seek solace in their hearts, at least it is profitable for them to overthrow the family.

He doesn't live as freely as young people.

Cui Renshi sat in the carriage and whispered: "Monk Huikuang, you always say that you want to see through the red dust, can I really see through this red dust?" ”

Lishan, Zhang Yang sat under the apple tree, he was thinking about when the apple on the tree would smash himself, so that it can be said that I discovered gravity, and I was smashed by an apple, can't I prove gravity?

This is a lot simpler.

Suddenly I thought about it, why did Apple smash me?

Isn't it too deliberate, a coincidence is a coincidence, and it doesn't have to happen in Lishan.

"Girl!"

"Huh?" Xiao Qingqing nibbled on the green apple and turned his head to look at his father.

"What about Daoist Yuan?"

"He said he was in retreat, and his father wanted to find him?"

Zhang Yang said wistfully: "I want Yuan Daochang to be smashed by an apple, so it is much more reasonable." ”

"What's reasonable?"

"Daoist Yuan can understand latitude and longitude, and he must also be able to understand gravity, let the old Taoist work harder, otherwise the volume of science will not be compiled."

Standing uphill, listening to the words, she looked curiously at the green apples on the tree, then at the back of her father's head, and then at the green apples, thoughtfully......

Xiao Qingqing replied: "My daughter went to blow up Chang'an City, how about asking Yuan Dao to come out of the mountain?" ”

Zhang Yang's expression was solemn, and he said in a tangled manner: "Can't you change your ideals?" ”

"Yes, my sister has a different idea, my brother's ambition is to buy Chang'an City, how can I buy it if it is blown up."

Xiao Qingqing glanced at his younger brother with disgust, gritted his teeth and said, "I know how to buy Chang'an all day long!" What are you going to do with Chang'an? ”

"Bear farming!"

"Bears should be kept in the mountains, not in the cities."

"Xiong Da grew up in the city."

The sister and brother quarreled, and Zhang Yang nibbled on the green apple and fell into deep thought again.
