Ergou and his master entered Gusu City the next morning, of course, this is not the idea of the master and apprentice boating the river the night before, but there is a curfew in this Gusu City, and after the time, you can't enter or leave.

In the morning, it was drenching with light rain in Gusu City, which made Jiang Ergou, who came for the first time, feel what is called the Jiangnan of the obscene rain.

In addition to the small stalls and vendors, the pedestrians on the street are mostly readers with books in their hands, and it seems that half of the world's scholars are in Jiangnan.

Along the way, the two masters with swords and swords attracted a lot of attention, almost no so-called knights of the rivers and lakes would come to this Gusu City, even if something really happened, they would not blatantly put weapons on their bodies!

There are two faults of literati that cannot be changed in a lifetime, one is that literati are light. I always feel that what others write is not as good as bullshit, and what I write is all good words, and occasionally reluctantly complimenting others for the sake of face is also full of hypocrisy, and I still can't look down on what others write.

Another one is to look down on those Jianghu warriors, and always feel that these rough people who only know how to fight life with knives and guns should not come to Jiangnan, where scholars are forested.

If you show your weapons in this Gusu city, and are met by those scholars who are messing around and stubbornly talking about Sven truth, then they will definitely surround you and talk to you.

Generally speaking, there are only two results in this kind of situation, if the Jianghu man you meet is thin-skinned, then you will run out of this Gusu City in shame, don't believe it, you can't imagine how powerful the reader's mouth can be.

And if you meet a grumpy reckless man, the soldier who stands up and speaks will definitely be beaten violently, and then the man who beats people will be caught by the six gates of the city and invited to eat a whip in the yamen and thrown out of Gusu City.

Of these two results, the latter is often regarded as a hero by other scholars, and the beaten person will also be quite proud, and maybe that night, he will go to the local Huimeng Mansion to get drunk and rest to celebrate.

Fortunately, the two masters and apprentices were lucky not to meet such a person, probably because they saw this old and young, and no one wanted to deal with them.

"Hey, hey, Ergou, today your master and I will take you to eat!"

The apprentice looked at the master with a surprised face, if you want to say that this old man knows any martial arts master, it is not unusual, he has also mixed up to the realm of a grade, and few friends are fake!

But it would be strange to say that this old man knew any decent readers.

"Old man, could it be that there are some hidden peerless masters in this city?"

The old man, who saw through what Ergou was thinking at a glance, scolded with a smile:

"Peerless master of bullshit, can't I know one or two real scholars, your master?"

Ergou didn't want to talk anymore, and he guessed that he would be scolded when he said this, but in the end, he blushed and couldn't hold back.

"That's not impossible, it's just that if you are really a serious reader, who will care about such a stinky old man as you!"

"If you are poor, I will ask you, if you want to eat!"

"Why don't you go, if you don't eat for nothing, you're an idiot!"

The old man did not continue to talk to the apprentice, but turned around and led the way in front with a smile, leaving Ergou alone and whispering to himself.

"This Gusu City is really powerful! Even the old man who has always had a bad mouth has become a lot more gentle, if he stays in the past, if he doesn't say anything else, just that sentence just now, at least he has to add a 'damn 'damn 'in the middle of the three words 'young poor mouth' to taste right!"

Following the old man as if playing hide and seek, he walked through a dozen or twenty alleys all the way to the front of a small courtyard.

Originally, Ergou thought that the scholar friend in the old man's mouth would be a big family, but he didn't expect to just live in such a simple small courtyard, which disappointed Ergou, who was still looking forward to eating a good meal.

The old man who stepped forward to call the door saw his apprentice's expression with his peripheral vision.

"What, disappointed?"

"Old man, didn't I say that what kind of great scholar could be living in such a yard? I didn't look down on him, but he didn't have the money to buy books to read, didn't I? ”

The old man sighed.

"Ergou, your name really didn't wronged you, you really look down on people with dog eyes, who told you that those amazing scholars live in a high-ranking house?

"Old man, you didn't lie to me, did you, really as powerful as you say?"

The scholar in the room is called Chen Mu, who served as a Taifu when the last emperor of the previous dynasty ascended the throne at the age of seven, assisting in the government affairs, and this is not counting, he was only 24 years old when he was a Taifu, and later, he even single-handedly extended the Great Zhao State for more than 13 years, but unfortunately, the power of the sky can not be redeemed by the power of one person! In the end, the capital of the Great Zhao State, that is, the current capital, was still breached. ”

After these words, the loss in the old man's eyes was unconcealed, but then he exuded brilliance.

"Later, Chu Zheng's father Chu Tian came to the door of this small courtyard in front of you after knowing his talent, he performed three bows with the respect of the emperor, and longed for Chen Mu to enter the court as an official, and also said that the official position in the court was picked up by him, and the rank and title were all determined by him, but in the end, Chu Tian still failed to invite this talented person who had the ability to pass through the heavens and latitudes but was only willing to stay in Gusu City as a teacher and scholar!"

After listening, Ergou's eyes showed admiration, but then he was even more disappointed.

Doesn't that mean that the owner of this courtyard is an old man who is much older than his master, and I thought that this scholar could have a well-read girl or something to meet, but now it seems that there is no hope, or an honest meal!

As he spoke, a footstep came from the courtyard, and the door of the courtyard was opened.

"Uncle Wang, it's you who are here! My grandfather, even if it arrives, you will come in the near future!"

The crisp voice of a young woman came into the ears of Ergou, coupled with the title of grandfather, which made Ergou, who looked down at his toes, wake up:

"That's right, my grandmother is really smart but was mistaken by being smart, he doesn't have a daughter, even if he has a daughter, he is already very old, but he has a granddaughter!"

Sure enough, as soon as Ergou looked up, he saw a well-behaved girl face with a unique Jiangnan charm.

The girl is not very old, she looks three or two years younger than the second dog, but she is already a formed beauty embryo, what a slender figure, needless to say with a delicate face, the key is that the big watery eyes that are smart are the most moving.

"Girl, boy Jiang Ergou, is the apprentice of this unscrupulous old man, and when we met for the first time, I haven't asked the girl for her name. ”

Ergou stepped past the old man and stood in front of the girl, while the girl on the opposite side did not panic when she looked at the boy figure who suddenly appeared in front of her, but just covered her mouth and smiled:

"You are Brother Ergou! Uncle Wang always liked to mention you when he came here before, please come in!"

After the girl finished speaking, she turned around and went in, which made Jiang Ergou a little unsure of how to calculate the title of the second dog's brother, anyway, it was awkward.

But then, Ergou seemed to have grasped something.

"Old man, you've been here before?"

"Of course, when you were young, every time I came out of the mountain stream, I would come and live here for a while. ”

"Then you told the girl who just went in about me!"

Looking at Jiang Ergou with an eager face, the old man smiled sinisterly.

"Say you don't wash your feet before going to bed, and you don't take a bath for a year!"

After saying that, the old man crossed Jiang Ergou and entered the courtyard, leaving him alone in the same place, messy in the wind.

......

The free meal was rubbed in, and there were only four people at the dinner table, Jiang Ergou and the old man as guests, and Chen Mu, the scholar who was the host, and his granddaughter.

This meal was made by the girl who led the two dogs into the door, there were not many dishes, just ordinary four dishes and one soup, but they were all exquisite and delicious, and it could be seen that the little girl was cooking.

Ergou didn't pay much attention to the famous scholar after taking a look, because he looked like an ordinary old man, at most older than his master, and he really didn't look like the shocking scholar that the old man said.

The rest of the thoughts, Ergou is all on the girl named Chen Xici, it's not a sight, of course, this meaning is not nothing, but more to explain that he didn't wash his feet before going to bed and didn't take a bath for a year.

But in the end, the girl Chen Xici had already begun to clean up the dishes and chopsticks, and he was embarrassed to say it.

After eating, it was time for the two old men to catch up, this time was a huge torture for the two young people sitting at the bottom, not only to endure the two elders' judgments on their own taste, but also to cooperate with a smile.

Chen Xici is okay, it is estimated that he has the experience of getting along with these two old men, and he is not unfamiliar with the conversation between the two, but Ergou is a little unbearable.

Until late at night, the two old men, who had not seen each other for many years, were still very interested, and just looked at the two sleepy young people below and asked them to go down to rest first.

If the two dogs were amnestied, they ran back to the guest room prepared for them by Chen Xici, and the little girl also rubbed her eyes with her hands and went back to her room.

Without anyone else present, the two old men became more casual and unrestrained, even taking off their shoes and sitting together.

The scholar named Chen Mu stretched out his hand and touched Wang Xuanlang's head.

"I've told you a long time ago, this place in Jiangnan is particularly suitable for self-cultivation, let you bring the second dog boy over earlier, have you forgotten the poem I told you that is the most suitable for tourists in Jiangnan?"

Wang Xuanlang smiled lightly, not like a martial artist, but like a Confucian scholar.

"Hehehe, only with Jiangnan Lao, this statement is only suitable for a scholar like you, I can't do it, I have been rolling on the rivers and lakes all my life, but the children of the rivers and lakes are more suitable for me!"

"What's the matter, coming to me will delay your sword practice!?"

Chen Mu pretended to be angry and said, but Wang Xuanlang touched his head instead.

Since thirty years ago, Chen Mu, a former minister of the former dynasty who broke the country and died of his family, met Wang Xuanlang, who had just suffered a catastrophe, and touched his head, he would touch Wang Xuanlang's head every time he saw him in the future, and Wang Xuanlang would touch it back every time he was unconvinced except for the first time.

"This place in the south of the Yangtze River can blow warm wind into people's bones, if you come here to practice swords, I'm afraid you won't be able to lift the three-foot Qingfeng in your hand. ”

After finishing speaking, Wang Xuanlang did not stop, but continued:

"Having said that, you've seen the child Ergou, what do you think. ”

Chen Mu stroked his gray beard.

"If you study, it's no worse than his martial arts practice. ”

Wang Xuanlang nodded happily.

"As I expected......"

After that, the old man fell into a beautiful reverie as if he were drinking alcohol......
