Qu Lingyu smiled: "Listening to you, you are a very unreasonable person. ”

Chu Qingliu said: "He is not very old, and when he adopted me, he was only a little over thirty years old, and it is not easy to take care of me alone." He never allowed me to say anything about whether it was easy or not easy, nor did he allow others to say it, let alone himself. According to him, I have been very troublesome since I was a child, and I threw myself into the river in the summer and the brazier in the winter, and nothing else. Since he adopted me, the owner has paid him more than anyone else, and he has been very stained with me. ”

Qu Lingyu said: "This owner is also a good person, have you ever seen the owner?"

Chu Qingliu said: "I've seen me once or twice on the dock, I'm a child, and I can't talk to anyone. When I was five years old, my father and I often quarreled. My stepfather was good at everything, but he insisted on forcing me to study, and if I refused to study, he would really beat me up, and he would not give me food, and he would drink wine and eat meat, so he would let me stand aside and watch. If someone is kind enough to give me something to eat, he will go to someone to stir it up. Later, when someone gave me something, I didn't want it, and I wouldn't eat it. He knew that he couldn't get into the Jinshi and couldn't be an official, so he wanted me to be admitted to the Jinshi, be an official, and be angry for him. However, this can only be in vain. ”

"I'd rather skip dinner than read the nonsense that threesomes must have other teachers, I think it's very boring. When my father-in-law saw that I would not give in, and that I would rather go hungry than study, he would not eat himself, and he would not allow me to tell anyone else. ”

Qu Lingyu said: "You two, who gave in first?"

Chu Qingliu said: "You might as well guess." Qu Lingyu said: "Was it your father-in-law who took the soft first?" Chu Qingliu sighed and said, "It's me, I took the soft first." ”

Qu Lingyu shook his head again and again, seemingly disdainful.

Chu Qingliu said: "The two of us are angry and don't eat, that's half-truth, one is true and doesn't eat, and the other is fake and doesn't eat." When no one sees it, I will steal food, the ship is loaded with all kinds of goods, there is no shortage of food, as long as ----I don't really want to starve to death, I really can't starve to death, not to mention that there are fish and shrimp in the water? ”

Qu Lingyu smiled: "In this way, your stepfather is really difficult, and your loss is not a nest." ”

Chu Qingliu said: "If you can't fight him, then you have to study." But my father-in-law also let me take a little step, in the past, he always threw a book to me, let me memorize it myself, memorized it, and then he explained it to me, and he didn't ask much, I had to remember what he said. After this trouble, I can argue with him, of course, arguments are arguments, and he has the final say. It is precisely because of this that I am fortunate to be able to worship under the Master. ”

"It was summer, and at night, my father-in-law and I sat in the bow of the boat to cool off from mosquitoes and flies. He asked me to memorize a few chapters of the book, and then he told the story of half of the Analects ruling the world, saying that Zhao Pu assisted Zhao Kuangyin, relying on half of the Analects. He had said this several times before, and I listened to it as a story, and he didn't want me to memorize it, so I didn't compete with him. That night, I was so bad that I had to fight him. Senior sister, you can do me a favor. Qu Lingqi said: "How to help?"

Chu Qingliu said: "I'll just say that half of the Analects governing the world is false, you just say that this thing is true, you can say whatever you want, whether it is reasonable or not, you can say whatever you want." Qu Lingyu said: "What I said, I'm afraid it can't be the same as what your father-in-law said." ”

Chu Qingliu said: "It's just those few words, no matter who it is, it can't come up with any new tricks." Let me start by saying: If half of the Analects can rule the world, why did Sage Confucius still write the entire Analects?

Qu Lingyu smiled and said, "What do you know? The sage is here to accommodate those stupid people, and to talk more, so that stupid people can also benefit from it, such as people like you." ”

Chu Qingliu said: "This Zhao Cheng Prime Minister, does he have no money to buy books, or does he have no time to read books? This book is not very thick, why does he only read half of it? Don't read the whole book?"

Qu Lingyu said: "How do I know? I can only say that people are smart enough, and it is enough to watch half of it, that's it." ”

Chu Qingliu said: "Since it is enough, then why can't they take back the sixteen states of Yanyun? If it is not enough, why don't they finish reading the lower part as well?"

Qu Lingyu smiled and said: "What do you know? That half of the Analects of the people is to rule the world, not to win the world, not to guard the world, why don't you understand? If Prime Minister Zhao Cheng reads the whole Analects, then he will be able to win the world, then he will be able to pay it back? Don't you want to be the emperor, then pull it out and cut it!"

Chu Qingliu shook his head and said, "Senior sister, you are even more unreasonable than your father-in-law. Since half of the Analects can rule the world, then Confucius himself traveled around the world and finally couldn't even eat, so that the Qi family could rule the country and level the world? What is the reason for this? Doesn't this mean that Zhao Chengxiang, who reads, is even more powerful than Confucius, who writes books?

Qu Lingyu said: "This is called this time, and that time." ”

Chu Qingliu said with a smile: "My father-in-law is not as unreasonable as you, he just said that I love to talk about crooked reasoning, slander saints, show off my cleverness, and not be humble to learn, in short, it is like this." In the end, he actually played Laipi. ”

Qu Lingyu said: "How did he play Laipi? You have to learn to show me, is he crying?"

Chu Qingliu said: "Don't mess around, I won't talk about it anymore." My father-in-law said that he had only been beaten once, and he had never even been beaten by the Jinshi, and that he was just a stupid person, so how could he know what other smart people thought? He has no hope in this life, and I will be the one who wants to be promoted to the Jinshi in the future, and I have to find out these things myself---- he is playing tricks like this. ”

Qu Lingyu said: "When it comes to the most hateful place of the imperial examination, it is not the sentence that all the heroes of the world have entered the world, and those who have entered that have entered the palace may not all be martyred, but there are also many heroes who have not entered the palace, isn't Huangchao one? ”

Chu Qingliu said: "Therefore, Mr. Zhang Yuan and Mr. Wu Hao, who have gone through hardships and ups and downs, can still be ambitious, but become more and more prosperous, just this is worthy of admiration." ”

"Master heard all these words from the neighboring ship, so he came to our boat and talked to him. The two of them passed through their names, and the master said, Mr. Jiang, how many emperors have been in the imperial examination?"

The father-in-law said, how can the emperor still take the test? The emperors are all sons of heaven and have a mandate of heaven. ”

"Master said, since there is a mandate of heaven, why does the emperor have to kill many people to overthrow the previous dynasty? If there is really a mandate of heaven, there should be a gust of wind blowing over, blowing away the previous dynasty, and then blowing the new emperor to the throne. It can be seen that this destiny is also a confused account, and it is not enough evidence. There are many smart people in this world who have never passed the imperial examination, and your husband is just rare, even you may not be as stupid and useless as you think. ”

"Thou righteous son, I will take away the teachings, and I will not let him be destroyed in thy hands. If you can't rest assured, please go with you, my name is Wu Baoqi, I live in Jiuhua Mountain Wanghaizhuang, and I also have some accounts to take care of at home, just rely on Mr. ”

The master said that books must be read, but they would never go to the imperial examination. ”

Qu Lingyu said: "Your father-in-law agreed?"

Chu Qingliu said: "Where can it be so easy? The two of them said until the middle of the night, I slept, and I didn't know what the master said, in short, the father-in-law agreed." ”

Qu Lingyu said: "Uncle Wu didn't make a move to persecute your father-in-law, right?"

Chu Qingliu said: "I am really curious about this matter, but I never dare to ask my father-in-law and master. As I grew up, my father-in-law really went to Wanghaizhuang to see me a few times, and met some different people, but his temperament changed greatly, and he never mentioned any imperial examinations of Confucius and Mencius. Before I went to Yishan, I also went to see him on the way, he was reading books on hydrology and arithmetic, and if there was no heaven and earth outside the imperial examination, he believed it, but he still refused to say it clearly. I will talk about my affairs so much first, and the affairs of Wanghaizhuang can only be talked about later. You first explain the matter of Mr. Zhang and Mr. Wu. ”

Qu Lingyu looked at the sky and said, "Anyway, it's still early before dark, so let's talk about it." Senior brother, someone is coming on the road. ”

She was sitting opposite the intersection, and saw someone coming earlier than Chu Qingliu, "It looks like a Taoist priest delivering food." Oh no, there's a Taoist priest hiding upstairs. "At this time, if you want to go upstairs to deal with that Taoist priest, it is too late, and you will inevitably be discovered by the Taoist priest who delivers food, so you can only wait and see what happens.

This person came to the front of the Scripture Pavilion, put down the bucket, looked at the two of them, raised his head and shouted upstairs: "Old Lu, Old Lu Dao, the meal is here." After calling Lao Lu several times, no one answered, and this person was talking to himself, so he had to go upstairs to check.

Qu Lingyu said: "Dao Chief, the Dao Chief Lu you mentioned, he is not upstairs. Daodao: "How do you know if you are not upstairs, not upstairs, but where is it?" Qu Lingyu said: "If you want to know where Elder Lu Dao is, you have to ask my senior brother." As soon as these words came out, Deng felt very happy, and finally reported the little hatred of "Senior sister, you just tell her" last night.

Chu Qingliu stiffened his head and said, "Dao Chief, that Dao Elder Lu thought that he was suffering from the wind chill at night, and he was a little out of his stomach, so it was convenient to go to the wilderness." "It's really uncertain how long this running belly can resist.

The person who delivered the food was convinced, and said: "He drinks cold water and eats cold rice, so can he not run away?"

What the purpose of this was that the two of them didn't understand it, and they didn't dare to ask. Qu Lingyu said: "Dao Chief, in the past, it was Qiu Li who came to deliver food because of Daoist Qiu, why did you come again?"

Dao Daodao: "It's not always Lao Qiu who comes, why are you asking this?"

Qu Lingyu said: "We have something to find Daoist Qiu." ”

Daodao: "He's a half-crazy person, what can you do with him?"

Qu Lingyu said: "What's the matter with him, I really can't tell you the Dao Master." After that, he looked at Chu Qingliu, and Chu Qingliu's heart was tight, for fear that she would say something like "let my senior brother tell you" again.

Daodaodao: "Qiu Li has committed something because of him, if you can't explain what is going on with him, you are in the same party with him." ”

Qu Lingyu said: "Dao Chief, did Dao Chief Qiu let the government arrest him? He still owes us a lot of silver, big brother, how is this good?" Chu Qingliu frowned and said, "Second sister, this is very bad. ”

Daodaodao: "He didn't ask the government to arrest him, what happened to him, if you want to know, you have to tell me what you are looking for him." He didn't even ask Lu Laodao why he didn't reply.

Qu Lingyu said: "Dao Chief, our brother and sister are from Tanzhou under the mountain, and they came to your Hengshan and walked more than 300 miles, just to find this Qiu Liyin to ask for debts. ”

Dao said: "If you come to ask for money, then you should go to the mountain gate to block him, what's the use of coming here?"

Qu Lingyu said: "Isn't this to save some face for Daoist Qiu? Three months ago, he took three copies of ancient scores and two sets of strings in our Xiyin Hall, which were worth five hundred and twenty taels of silver, and only gave two hundred and twenty taels, and the remaining three hundred and twenty taels were handed over in a month. It's been three months, and I don't see his people, nor his money, so we have no choice but to come to the door. ”

The Taoist hated and said: "This Qiu Liyin, all day long, cheating all day long, isn't this exposed? This piano score was obviously bought from you, and he wants to tell people what kind of Yanhuang duet is, isn't this a hell of a heart-to-anger death?"
