Zhang Xiang didn't know if his teacher, who was known as the second teacher in the world, really deserved this name, but he knew very well how vicious the eyes of this seemingly inconspicuous old man were, and how many unfathomable schemes there were hidden under the ordinary life of the old man. Just like the old man's gaze at this time, it is natural to laugh and scold. But if you look closely, you can find that from beginning to end, the deepest part of the old man's gaze hides a calm and extremely calm indifference, like a deep ancient well, which can reflect the deepest thoughts in your heart.

Even if Zhang Xiang is no longer the young man who is ignorant of the world, when he touches the familiar indifference in the deepest part of the old man's eyes, his heart is still inexplicably tight, and he finally recovers from some sudden thoughts, and his originally smiling face gradually calms down, so he stops his mouth, bows his head slightly, does not speak, and does not care.

The old man didn't seem to notice the change in Zhang Xiang, and only ate nonsense by himself, until most of the meat was eaten in his stomach and a jar of wine was drunk before he finally patted his belly with satisfaction and burped comfortably. And during this whole period, Zhang Xiang kept that motionless appearance, not knowing what he was thinking.

So the old man finally glanced at him with some appreciation, and said slowly: "I haven't been in vain in the past few years, and my heart has grown. ”

Zhang Xiangyan raised his head slightly, but he didn't show any joy. Sure enough, then the old man shook his head lightly and sighed: "It's just a little stupid, and it's a little bit worse." ”

To say that Zhang Xiang has made countless achievements for the Great Zhou over the years, it can be said that the Great Zhou can quickly settle down from the chaos and quickly gain a firm foothold again to become the head of the world, Zhang Xiang has at least half of the credit. mentioned that he went down to the peddler pawn, and up to the "Shengwu Emperor" all praised his talent and learning ability, and some people even called him a capable minister who ruled the world, and there was a saying that "one appearance through the ages". But Zhang Xiang, who has made so many dazzling achievements, only got a "stupid" evaluation in the old man's mouth, which can't help but make people feel a little unhappy about him.

But at this time, Zhang Xiang did not have any dissatisfaction, and even accepted this evaluation for course.

Although he hadn't met other senior brothers, the old man kept saying that he was just the most unsuccessful disciple of the old man. Therefore, Zhang Xiang had already become accustomed to it, and just sat calmly and waited for the old man to continue.

The old man sighed lightly and paused slightly, glanced at Zhang Xiang as if he didn't care, and then said, "You should know very well that these noises don't matter what the result is now, and they won't have any substantial impact on Da Zhou in the end. If you can't even think of this, you are not worthy to sit before me. ”

The old man quickly rewrapped the rest of the meat as he spoke, Zhang Xiang keenly noticed that the rest was some fine and good meat, and he couldn't help but feel a little dazed, but he heard the old man shake his head and continue: "As for what you came here to see me for, I can only tell you that no matter what you want to do, it's not the right time, and you need to wait." ”

Zhang Xiangyan's face froze slightly, but his body relaxed with some relief, and he thought to himself with a wry smile: "Isn't decades of preparation enough......?"

The old man didn't pay attention to Zhang Xiang's thoughts, it seemed that mentioning a sentence on the sake of these two catties of cooked meat was already considered benevolent and righteous, but it seemed that he felt a little greasy in his mouth after eating a little too much fat, so he picked up the jar of wine that had almost been emptied, and raised it above his head while stretching out his tongue and trying to pour it for a long time, before he received a few pitiful drops of wine, so he could only put down the wine jar with some unfinished thoughts.

Zhang Xiang was slightly stunned when he saw this, and then reached out and grabbed another jar of unopened wine. It's just that the old man slapped it off as soon as he stretched out his hand, and he rolled his eyes with some disgust and said: "I'm afraid that you are used to living a comfortable life, and it is a waste of money, this jar of wine can be sold for two dollars of silver, just to drink such a sip and open it, what are you doing, don't you still want to rub my wine to drink?" Okay, okay, I told you what you want to hear and what you are doing here, I have a small yard here, but I don't have a place for you to live, hurry up where to go, don't disturb me to enjoy my old age. Saying that, he got up directly, and rushed to the house with two small packets of meat and the unopened wine, leaving only a back for Zhang Xiang, and did not forget to confess: "Close the courtyard door for me when you go out, lightly, if it is broken, you have to compensate me." ”

Zhang Xiang saw that the old man knocked on the door cautiously, and entered the house with a dead face under the woman's reluctant gaze, and finally "squeaked" and closed the door tightly, so he could only retract his gaze with some emotion, and turned around and walked out. But when I remembered the details I had noticed before, I thought to myself, will this unfathomable teacher also make changes because of those ethereal emotions?

It's just that Zhang Xiang found out when he walked to the courtyard gate that the courtyard door that was already a little dilapidated was really broken, and it was crooked and slanted aside, so the corners of his mouth twitched, and the feeling in his heart disappeared completely, so he could only helplessly take out a silver coin and put it at the door.

was only halfway but unwilling, so he simply gritted his teeth slightly, turned around and walked a few steps to the door, kicked off the courtyard door that was hanging aside, and shouted at the top of his voice: "Teacher, the red-sleeved girl in Piaoxiangyuan said that she hadn't seen you for a long time, and she thought about it tightly, so ask me to bring you a message!" After shouting this sentence, he was shocked, and quickly turned his head and strode away without looking back. Although it was a little far away, it was still possible to hear the sound of heavy objects falling to the ground in the small courtyard and the old man's short screams, and then the door opened quickly, and the old man's eyes were slightly red and his face was angry and looked around, but where could he see the figure of Zhang Xiang who had already been smeared with oil on the soles of his feet.

So the old man scolded with a dark face and gasped, but he didn't know what to remember, and he shook his head lightly and smiled: "It's really grown a lot, even I dare to calculate." ”

"Smack!" The old man was slightly stunned, then quickly turned around, and found that the door was locked tightly, so he could only sigh secretly: "Miserable!" and repeatedly asked the woman in the house to forgive, swearing that he would never do such a pickled thing as visiting the building.

"Really not?" Old Man Zhong Ji looked around Yu Liang with some suspicion, obviously not believing Yu Liang's words.

"Really not!" Yu Liang reluctantly suppressed the shame in his heart, and looked at the old man very seriously.

The old man pursed his mouth, as if he was not very satisfied with this answer, and looked at Yu Liang with a smile and said: "Your bizarre ideas, at first glance, are quite amazing, but after careful consideration, there are many things that are not worth scrutinizing, but it is a pity that only Ziyu's fool will believe in your evil, and become a little godly chatter, if you want me to say that most of your so-called truths actually don't make sense, you kid can still take a look at your ability to write stories." I think your ability to scold people with eyes in your story is good, and it's worth learning. ”

The corners of Yu Liang's eyes jumped slightly, and he had the heart to defend himself, but when he saw the old man, he smiled and continued: "It is said that your kid's ability to write stories is so outstanding, and he is half a peer with my cheap senior brother, and he happened to go to Luoyang, how could he not discuss the philosophy of life with you with his temper, and take you for a walk in the famous building in Luoyang, you have to say that you have not been to the 'Yihong Courtyard' and know a few girls full of charm, anyway, I don't believe it." ”

Yu Liang's expression froze slightly, and a certain picture and a plump woman flashed in his mind, so the corners of his mouth twitched, and he could only smile helplessly.

Seeing this, the old man also squeezed his eyebrows and smiled, lowered his voice and said, "I heard that the famous Mrs. Xu has a good relationship with you, and it is said that your only ink treasure was given to this person?"

Yu Liang coughed a little embarrassed when he heard this, and said in his heart that this is all where it is, but he never thought that Wang Yu and Li Qing, who looked extremely gentlemanly, were both extremely respected teachers, and they were such unobtrusive old men, and they really couldn't cry or laugh in their hearts. After thinking about it, he tried to change the subject and asked with doubt: "Your old senior brother, who is it? I really haven't seen it." ”

The old man glanced at Yu Liang with some surprise, and only after finding that Yu Liang's expression was sincere and immortal was fake, he said helplessly: "He, he is the head of Luoyang Academy, I thought you would have a lot of places for communication, after all, he is also the originator of those popular scripts in Luoyang." ”

Yu Liang opened his mouth wide, his eyes were a little dull, and he said in his heart, Are you all so cynical in your life? The mountain chief of Luoyang Academy turned out to be the founder of those gaudy and vulgar scripts in Luoyang, no wonder the entire Luoyang style has been distorted a lot, and it has been repeatedly banned, so the original source is here

glanced at Yu Liang, and said helplessly after finding that Yu Liang's expression was sincere and immortal: "He, he is the mountain chief of Luoyang Academy, I thought you would have a lot of places to communicate, after all, he is also the originator of those popular scripts in Luoyang." ”

Yu Liang opened his mouth wide, his eyes were a little glazed, and he said in his heart Are you all so cynical in your life? The mountain chief of Luoyang Academy turned out to be the pioneer of those gaudy scripts in Luoyang.
