Start in the morning to march to the priesthood, and return to his hometown.

The rooster crowed three times, everyone had already eaten the morning meal, and the chariots and horses were ready, waiting to set off.

Zhang Zhongqian was checking whether there was anything missing, and someone came to report that the car owner had brought someone here, and Zhang Zhongqian hurriedly greeted him.

There were not many people with 3,000 cars, but the two followed, and Gao and Wei did not follow.

Zhang Zhongqian arched his hand and asked, "What is the car gang leader?"

Che Sanqian said with a smile: "I said, since I have received the money, I have to ensure that you get out of this Wuling City." ”

Zhang Zhongqian thanked him again, "This early morning has bothered the car gang leader, and Zhong Qian is a little unhappy. ”

Che Sanqian took out a bag from his arms and threw it to Zhang Zhongqian: "You gave face, I can't ask for money, otherwise it will really break the rules, come over today, it can be regarded as my car Sanqian and your personal relationship." ”

Zhang Zhongqian, who wanted to push back, heard this, so he put away the money bag and said solemnly: "There is a big brother car, it is not in vain that I have been operating in Wuling City for a few years." ”

Che Sanqian nodded and said, "It's all ready, so I won't say more, let's set off as soon as possible." ”

The cloth in the shop has been almost disposed of, there is still some stock left, loaded with two carriages, and the silver money earned by the cloth village over the years has also been packed into several large boxes, which are placed on two carriages, one for the necessities of life, and the other for Zhang Zhongqian's carriage.

Six carriages, in addition to the 3,000 cars that saw them off, the team of 20 people is not small.

Zhang Zhongqian stood there, staring at the cloth village that had already taken off the plaque, took a deep breath, and said to Lao Jia, the big housekeeper beside him: "Let's go!"

Lao Jia nodded, rolled up his sleeves, rubbed his eyes, and said to himself: "This person is old and useless, so he is so easily blinded." ”

Yuan Xi quietly looked at the reluctant two, and Cheng Shifei asked on the side: "Brother Yuan, obviously returning to Bazhou, why are brothers-in-law and Jia Bo so reluctant?"

Yuan Xi shook his head and said, "I don't know, because I'm not your brother-in-law." ”

Cheng Shifei doesn't seem to be satisfied with this answer, and it seems that he is going to find an opportunity to ask his brother-in-law.

The housekeeper Lao Jia was arranged by Zhang Zhongqian to go to his carriage.

There were 3,000 cars to see him off, but Zhang Zhongqian did not get in the car.

Che Sanqian looked at the six guards with guys, and said to Zhang Zhongqian on the side as he walked: "I said Brother Zhongqian, you don't seem to have enough manpower." ”

Zhang Zhongqian smiled bitterly: "I brought all the ones that can be sent by the family, as for those who are guards, they don't take our family's business, this time I am afraid that the road will not be easy." ”

Che Sanqian glanced at Yuan Xi and Chen Suisui, who were walking in front, nodded and said: "I have also heard some about your Buzhuang, if it weren't for these two brothers to follow, I would have persuaded you to leave your money in Jingzhou, otherwise I am afraid that it will cause a big disaster." ”

After speaking, he shook his head again and said: "In my gang, it is okay to make a rampant attitude to ordinary people, and it is still useless to face the bandits and bandits who are begging for a living on the tip of the knife, otherwise I will bring some people to escort you to Chunshui City." ”

Zhang Zhongqian sighed lightly, then looked at Che Sanqian and said: "With Brother Che's words, I am content, you know the skills of Yuan Shaoxia and Chen Suisui, although my brother-in-law and I are not masters, but we are not ordinary practitioners can move, with the five of us, I am still very confident in this trip." ”

Che Sanqian nodded and said: "That's true, with the five of you, it's not a big deal, as long as you don't provoke the nine major factions, you won't be afraid of anywhere." ”

Zhang Zhongqian smiled, and when he saw that the city gate was in front of him, he said: "Brother Che, as the saying goes, there is no feast in the world, so let's stay." ”

Che Sanqian patted Zhang Zhongqian's back and said: "Okay, I won't send each other anymore, the mountains are high and the rivers are far away, let's say goodbye, Brother Zhongqian, take care!"

After speaking, he clenched his fists at Yuan Xi and a few people.

On Yuan Xi, a few people returned the salute, and the car 3,000 took people away.

Cheng Shifei looked at the departing car Sanqian, and said to a few people: "Why can't I understand him?"

Yuan Xi smiled: "You, you can understand yourself first!"

The convoy left Wuling City.

——————————

Dong Xianglin sat in the study, holding a copy of "The Book of Rites" in his hand and reading.

This "Book of Rites" was compiled by Dai Cijun, a scholar of etiquette in the former dynasty, with a total of 20 volumes and 49 articles, and what he read in his hand was his 42nd "University".

"The Book of Rites" is a compulsory classic for the academy to teach and teach, and his father Dong Shixian also highly recommends this classic, especially this forty-second chapter.

"The way of the university is in Mingmingde, in being close to the people, and in stopping at perfection...... Those who want to be clear and virtuous in the world in ancient times should rule their country first, those who want to govern their country should first gather their families, and those who want to gather their families should first cultivate their bodies...... After the cultivation of the family, the family is united and then the country is governed, and the country is governed and then the world is peaceful......"

Dong Xianglin read the article weakly. The reason why I spoke out was to let my father know that he was reading at night with candles.

In order to make his father feel more comfortable, he Dong Xianglin is still very brainy.

In addition to the master of the academy, Dong Shixian also personally explained this "University" to his son, but in Dong Xianglin's opinion, what his father said was no different from what the old master of the academy said.

Even he, Dong Xianglin, will talk about the three programs of "Ming Mingde, being close to the people, and stopping at perfection", as well as the eight items of "Gewu, Zhizhi, Sincerity, Righteousness, Cultivation, Qi, Governance, and Peace", which aim to emphasize that self-cultivation is the premise of governing people, and governing people is to govern the country and level the world.

Dong Xianglin just couldn't figure it out, what did he Dong Xianglin have to do with governing the country? There were so many people in the academy and so many scholars in the world, how many of them could become masters? Aren't most people ruling people? Even he, as the son of the city lord, cannot inherit the position of the city lord, and the position of the city lord is still the final word of the king of Shu.

Dong Xianglin asked his father.

Daddy didn't answer him, but asked him, if one day Daddy is no longer the city lord, what can you Dong Xianglin do?

Dong Shixian looked at his only son, but thought of himself, what is he studying for half his life?

Is it his own wealth and glory, or is it to rule the people, or is it to share the worries of the king?

Or, maybe both.

It's not that Dong Xianglin didn't think about his future, but with such a city lord father, many times he thought about it and passed.

Think about what to do!

Putting down the book he was reading, Dong Xianglin got up and listened to the outside of the house, there was no movement.

Creeping back to his desk, he quietly pulled a book from the shelf and flipped through it quickly.

His hands were a little trembling, his throat was a little dry, and there was a noise outside the window, which frightened him, and he stopped his hand movements and looked nervously at the window.

Seeing that no sound came, he simply sat back with the book, put the book in front of him, and continued to flip through the book in his hand.

After flipping through it a few times, I finally flipped it.

Inside was a page with a picture on it.

It was he who finally got it from Liu Yuanqing.

After a few glances, his face turned a little red, and he adjusted his sitting position, and he folded the picture again and clipped it back into the book.

This picture is nothing to look at, but after I came back from the Shochiku Pavilion, I always couldn't help but take a few sneaky glances.

Thinking of Sister Weiwei who asked him to meet, he secretly cursed himself in his heart.

If you do this, you will be a scholar in vain.

Then he opened the book, took out the piece of paper, and held it up to the candlelight, but his hand stopped.

As if having made up his mind, he put the paper back in its place.

I just don't want to watch it in the future.

Sitting in the chair, he thought of the sister Weiwei who he felt that even the sinking fish and geese and the shy flowers in the moon were not enough to describe her beauty.

On that day, Liu Weiwei covered her face with a light veil, and under the expectant eyes of all the guests, she finally came.

After a long time, he came out, still holding the pipa and half covering his face.

The white gauze hangs lightly, revealing only a pair of bright moon eyes, and the moon eyes are small mountain daisies, and a slight blink makes everyone intoxicated.

It's a pity that the veil that Miss Weiwei hung is a little long, and her front chest is blocked, and she can't even see a jade neck, which makes the guests itch very much.

Dong Xianglin and the three of them were also stupid.

Obviously, she can't see anything, but it is even more imaginative, this Liu Weiwei is like a fairy in the sky, with a graceful figure and a fairy aura in her demeanor.

What is immortal energy? It is the feeling that is unattainable.

Dong Xianglin was still thinking about the girl at the door of the vulgar hall when he entered the door, but now he has long forgotten it, thinking in his heart that he actually thinks about those vulgar fans, which is really a bad work.

Miss Vivi bowed lightly to everyone, her veil fluttering, and everyone exclaimed.

Someone whispered, I saw it, I saw it, it was white.

Someone else scoffed, looking at your little bit of talent.

Dong Xianglin also saw a jade neck, it was indeed very white, dazzlingly white, he and Xu Yibai and Liu Yuanqing glanced at each other, and all three of them smiled and said nothing.

This kind of beauty can only be understood.

With her green fingers plucked on the lute, Miss Vivi began today's performance.

Dong Xianglin watched his slender hands dancing on the pipa plate, as if a cute elf was dancing there, and his heart moved with it, dancing with the sound of this noisy and cut, like a big bead and a small bead falling on the jade plate.

Most of them stared at Miss Weiwei, who was playing the pipa, and they were reluctant to leave.

At the end of the song, beware of drawing, the four strings sound like cracks.

Miss Vivi got up and bowed and left her seat.

When the girl's figure faded away, all the guests came back to their senses and coaxed,

Let's talk about another song, Lao Tzu waited for a long time to talk about such a song.

No, no, no matter how stingy you are, Lao Tzu won't come next time.

Miss Vivi, I want to meet you alone, and I can give as much money as I want.

At this time, Aunt Kang walked out and said to everyone: "Everyone, rest easy, Miss Weiwei only plays one song, this is the rule of my elegant pavilion, you are not the first day to come to our elegant pavilion, and then disturb the interest of Miss Weiwei, I am afraid that the only place to see guests today is gone." ”

A guest smiled and said, "Aunt Kang, where is this, doesn't everyone admire Miss Weiwei." ”

After speaking, the man looked at Aunt Kang, who was still charming, and quipped: "Aunt Kang, why don't you sing a song for everyone too?" ”

Aunt Kang glared at the man: "Do you want to listen, then go to the vulgar hall to listen, the girls over there have very good voices, I'm afraid you won't be able to hold a cup of tea." ”

Everyone laughed for a while, and the man was not annoyed, but just said: "Aunt Kang, whether it is a cup of tea or a pillar of incense, Aunt Kang will know if she has tried it." ”

The crowd burst into laughter.

Dong Xianglin and the three of them looked at each other, not understanding what everyone was laughing at.

Aunt Kang clapped her hands, ignored the man's words, and said to everyone: "After a while, Miss Weiwei will have a tea alone with someone here, let's watch the dance for a while." ”

After finishing clapping their hands, the four girls were dressed in gauze skirts, and their fragrant shoulders loomed.

The dancing is graceful, the beauties are beautiful, and everyone is drinking wine, leisurely and leisurely.

Everyone's girlfriend is so beautiful!

This elegant hall is really elegant.

Zizi came over and whispered to Aunt Kang, Aunt Kang nodded, stretched out her hand, came over a little girl, whispered, and the little girl went downstairs.

Dong Xianglin watched several girls dance, but he was still thinking about the pipa.

I am so envious that I can be held in my arms by Miss Weiwei.

Xu Yibai and Liu Yuanqing pulled Dong Xianglin, who was a little distracted, and Liu Yuanqing asked: "Xianglin, what do you want? How beautiful these little dancers dance, don't you hurry up and watch, you see, they shake so much, isn't it pleasing to the eye?"

Dong Xianglin let out an "ah" and said, "Good-looking, good-looking, this is not the first time I've come, I'm afraid my father will know." ”

Xu Yibai said: "What are you afraid of? Why don't we go to the vulgar hall, my father can say that they are all men with bundled hair, and they should come out to see it for a long time, but before I marry a wife, I will never be allowed to go to the vulgar hall." ”

When Dong Xianglin and Liu Yuanqing heard this, they asked in a low voice, "What about after marrying a wife?"

Xu Yibai winked and didn't speak.

The little girl who whispered to Aunt Kang came over, came to the table of Dong Xianglin and the three of them, and asked softly, "Dare to ask if this is Dong Gongzi?"

Liu Weiwei sat in the room, the veil had been removed, and she took off the bead hairpin on her head.

After thinking for a while, she got up and left the dressing table, walked to the couch, supported her cheek with one hand, and leaned there half-reclining.

Dong Xianglin stood up in a daze under the envious gaze of everyone and followed the little girl upstairs.

Xu Yibai and Liu Yuanqing secretly hated in their hearts, but they were helpless, just by virtue of his identity as Dong Xianglin, among the three people, he could only go.

Someone was angry and said, "Is Miss Weiwei lacking a younger brother? ”

Someone next to him whispered to him: "Be quiet, do you know who he is? That's the son of the city lord, and you don't want to think about who the first person was the first person Miss Weiwei saw." ”

When the man heard this, he pressed the table hatefully, took the wine glass and drank it all, got up and said, "Let's go, go to the side, Lao Tzu is going to pick flowers today." ”

Others quipped: "Which flower to pick? orchid or chrysanthemum? Be careful if you are eaten by the flower, and let you come out against the wall." ”

The man took a sip and said unconvinced: "Do you have the ability to compete?"

Xu Yibai and Liu Yuanqing were red-faced when they heard this, and the two of them only cared about drinking and eating side dishes.

This wine, why is it not as good as Fang Cai?

Aunt Kang stood upstairs, looked at the two of them, summoned the two delicate girls, whispered a message, and the two girls saluted and went downstairs to the table of the two.

One of the girls said: "Childe, the little girl's name is the waiter, this is the waiter, Aunt Kang saw that the two sons were drinking and were bored, so she asked the two of us to come over and pour wine for the two sons." ”

The waiter went around to Liu Yuanqing's side, picked up the wine jug, and poured a glass of wine for Liu Yuanqing, and the waiter here also poured a glass for Xu Yibai.

The confused two looked back at Aunt Kang, who nodded at the two.

Looking at the two of them, the two girls who were only thirteen or fourteen years old, Xu Liu and the others smiled, and then started drinking, and the two girls just poured the wine quietly on the side.

As for the other guests, they didn't think it was interesting, so they went to the vulgar hall to be chic, and some stayed behind, drinking wine and talking about things.

Dong Xianglin was led to Liu Weiwei's boudoir.

The heart was beating the drum, Dong Xianglin clenched his sweaty palm, and the little girl said to him: "Son, please come in, Miss Weiwei is inside." ”

The door was open, but there was a beaded curtain, Dong Xianglin gently opened the beaded curtain and walked in.

Vaguely seeing the shadow behind the screen, Dong Xianglin, who had just entered the room, was at a loss for a while.

The door behind him was closed, Dong Xianglin looked back nervously, and then a laugh came.

Liu Weiwei stretched lazily, fortunately, Dong Xianglin was behind the screen, otherwise the scenery here would make the blood of this young man who knew about men and women for the first time spurted.

"It's Dong Gongzi, please come in. ”

Liu Weiwei stepped down from the couch and landed barefoot.

Miss Weiwei's laughter soothed Dong Xianglin's nervous mood slightly, and after he said "um", he stared at the figure standing up behind the screen and slowly walked around to the front.

It was a beautiful face, smiling at him.

The red lips are like fire, and they are like delicate peonies, and Dong Xianglin, who was stupid, accidentally bumped into the table.

Miss Vivi let out a "whoa" and then laughed again.

This smile embarrassed the flowers.

Liu Weiwei stepped forward and said angrily: "Why is Childe so careless?"

Dong Xianglin still didn't come back to his senses, why was it so easy to see? A little incredible, he didn't know what to say, he just responded indiscriminately: "Girl, uh, this, I ...... it"

Liu Weiwei smiled, moved a few steps, pressed Dong Xianglin, who was a little stiff, to the seat, poured a cup of tea for him, sat opposite him, and just looked at this young man who didn't dare to look at him.

Dong Xianglin's heart was beating fast, and he was about to jump out of his throat, he raised his head slightly, peeked at the girl, and saw that the girl was looking at him with a smile.

"I'm not a tiger, can I still eat you? The son of the dignified City Lord's Mansion is so daring?"

When Dong Xianglin heard this, he raised his head suddenly, stared at Miss Weiwei and said: "The girl is not a tiger, but she is more powerful than a tiger, my mother has said that this beautiful woman is more terrible than a tiger, and the girl does not eat people, but she steals people's souls, how can I not be afraid? I am afraid that after walking out of this room, the soul will stay here, and the heart will be eaten by you, that, that ......?"

Liu Weiwei covered her face with her hands, laughed so much that she trembled, and said while laughing: "Flamboyant, is this a candied fruit?"

It's just that the young man on the other side didn't answer.

Seeing that Dong Xianglin's mouth was half open, and his eyes were looking directly at himself, why was his nose still bleeding? Liu Weiwei got up in a panic and took out the towel in her arms to wipe Dong Xianglin's nose.

Dong Xianglin, who came back to his senses, felt a hot current in his nose, wiped it with his hand, rubbed his mouth full of blood, Liu Weiwei, who had just come over, patted it lightly, and said angrily: "Don't move, I'll wipe it for you, what's this called, this makes Aunt Kang know, and I think I did something to you." ”

Slowly approaching, looking at Dong Xianglin's face carefully, Liu Weiwei carefully wiped Dong Xianglin with a towel, looked at Dong Xianglin with her eyes closed, she smiled: "You know each other." ”

Dong Xianglin wanted to open his eyes, but he didn't dare, feeling the temperature at close range, as well as the fragrance like an orchid, his nose twitched slightly, and the corners of his mouth raised.

Liu Weiwei, who helped him wipe it clean, took her fingertips and nodded her forehead, and said, "Okay!"

Dong Xianglin opened his eyes, and the beautiful woman was already sitting opposite, frowning at the handkerchief in her hand.

He hurriedly spoke: "Miss Weiwei, can you lend me the handkerchief in your hand?"

Liu Weiwei was puzzled, but she gently threw the towel on the table, and asked, "It's all so dirty, what else does the son want to see?"

picked up the scarf, Dong Xianglin didn't even look at it, so he stuffed it into his arms and said: "The girl thinks it's dirty, so I just gave it to me, so I accepted it." ”

The beauty on the other side smiled, "What does Childe mean by this, if Childe likes it, I will take a new one and give it to Dong Gongzi." ”

Dong Xianglin shook his head and said: "No, no, just this, the girl doesn't know, I haven't shed blood since I was a child, today, uh, it's okay not to mention this, but this bloodstain is still very commemorative to me, so I accepted it cheekily." ”

With a smile in her eyes, Liu Weiwei nodded lightly.

Dong Xianglin remembered that he didn't come alone, so he asked, "I don't know why the girl gave me this opportunity to meet alone?"

When Liu Weiwei heard this, her body turned slightly, and she sat there sideways, feeling a little sad.

Dong Xianglin didn't have time to admire the mountains and mountains, and hurriedly asked, "What's wrong with the girl?"

Liu Weiwei turned around, smiled and said, "It has nothing to do with Childe, it's just that Fang is a little sentimental, and he lost his temper, so don't be surprised by Childe." ”

Looking at Liu Weiwei, who was smiling and smiling, Dong Xianglin actually felt a little pain in his heart, and he asked: "What difficulties did the girl encounter? With the current reputation of our elegant hall, who dares to be disrespectful to the girl?"

Liu Weiwei sighed and said softly: "Childe's words are serious, I am a dusty woman, how can I say respect and disrespect, what everyone respects is just the rules of our Pingnan City, and the rules of our Pingnan City are Ling Zun." ”

Speaking of this, she stood up and saluted Dong Xianglin.

Dong Xianglin got up in a panic and wanted to go over, but he felt that men and women could not kiss, so he had to stay there.

"Son, please take a seat, when I came to the Songzhu Pavilion, I thought of a way with Aunt Kang, Ling Zun was the first person I saw, in fact, this is just an excuse, the one who really met with Ling Zun was the owner of our Songzhu Pavilion. Later, Aunt Kang took this as a situation to protect the Yaguan well, otherwise how could our sisters in the Yaguan protect their lives? Speaking of which, I still have to thank Ling Zun. ”

Dong Xianglin was puzzled: "Girl, you don't have to be polite, my father can reach an agreement with the owner of your hall, presumably there must be something beneficial to our Pingnan City, this is what he should do as the lord of a city." In that case, why is the girl so sad?"

Liu Weiwei said gloomily: "The son doesn't know, the family teacher has a letter and wants to take me away." ”

Dong Xianglin was puzzled: "Lingshi, is it rumored that Liu Piaopiao, who is a famous singer of our Great Jin? Isn't the girl from the Songzhu Pavilion? What's the problem with Lingshi taking you away?"

Liu Weiwei nodded and said: "The son is really well-informed, the family teacher is Liu Piaopiao, and now she is in Yangzhou, as for this Songzhu Pavilion, it is just that the owner has an old relationship with the family teacher, and I came over to help support the façade." ”

Dong Xianglin scratched his head, and then asked, "Could it be that An Yunge is the same?" But if the girl leaves, then won't our Yaguan even have an Oiran?

Liu Weiwei smiled and said: "The family teacher also has a problem, this matter, forget it, I wanted to ask the son to help find out one or two, to see which talent in this city can look down on the little woman, the little woman does not expect to be a wife, even if she can serve as a concubine, I am willing to solve my difficulties." ”

When Dong Xianglin left the Songzhu Pavilion, he didn't understand what Liu Weiwei's difficulty was, but he made up his mind to understand this matter.

As for Xu and Liu, they inquired about their meeting with Liu Weiwei, but they were sent away by him in a few words, who was not in a high mood.

Later, he couldn't help the soft grinding and hard bubbles of the two, so he said everything carefully, and the price was Liu Yuanqing's picture.

The reason why Dong Xianglin made peace with the two brothers was because he wanted the two to find a way together.

He took out the handkerchief in his arms, the blood was still on it, and he didn't wash it.

It smelled of her on it, and he was reluctant to accept it.

He wanted to help her, but he didn't dare to help her like that.

Mother has already invited a matchmaker to go to Xu's house.
