Volume 2 Mountains and Rivers Chapter 34 On the Tao

The man in black laughed twice and flew away.

Li Jingyun saw that the body was slightly fat, dressed as a Confucian scholar, and behind him was the woman who had just talked to him, and his face was pale at this time, hiding behind the Confucian scholar.

"Dare to ask, but is it Master Cao of Yuelu Academy?". Li Jingyun didn't care about the person who ran away, and made a joke.

A hint of discoloration flashed in Cao Pu's eyes, and he also saluted: "It's Cao."

Li Jingyun took out the letter from his bosom and said, "He Zhifu asked me to send this thing over."

Cao Pu did not reach out to pick it up, but said, "Little friend comes with me."

Li Jingyun followed behind Cao Pu, not knowing what to say for a while.

Bypassing the big lake around him, until he reached a small courtyard in the northeast corner, there was a huge elm tree in the yard, at this time the winter was not cold and the spring was not warm, and the elm tree was only left with a canopy, and it was also covered by this yard, and for a while I couldn't help but praise curiously: "What a big elm tree."

Cao Pu led him into the room, served tea, and said in a low voice, "Does the He Governor have anything else to tell you?"

Li Jingyun thought for a while and said, "No, just ask me to send this letter here."

Cao Pu took the letter, but he didn't open it, put it aside and said: "I just saw that Xiaoyou's Taoism is exquisite, I must have learned it from a famous master, I don't know who the master is?"

Li Jingyun said: "I don't have a master, my father-in-law taught me swordsmanship, and my eldest brother taught me swordsmanship, but I'm too stupid to learn anything well."

Cao Pu said with a smile: "Xiaoyou belittles himself so much, and the martial arts of the world are ashamed, I don't know where to settle down at this time?", he just saw that Li Jingyun's swordsmanship was exquisite, so he had the idea of asking him to be the worship of Yuelu Academy.

Li Jingyun said: "I live in the Nanshan Dao Mansion, and now I am a bad person in the Mansion."

Cao Pu's heart sank, his face was a little lost, and said: "So that's the case", the Liyang law calendar for three generations, clearly stipulates that all the military generals in the court, including local bad people, are not allowed to hold positions such as worship in other places, and the fear is that some of these people bend the law for personal gain, and even the local garrisons are sent to the north by the southerners, and the northerners are sent to the south, so as not to happen, and the local garrisons are unwilling to take action in the face of their fathers and fellow villagers.

Li Jingyun said: "The tree in the courtyard of Mr. is so big, I have never seen such a big tree."

Cao Pu said: "This tree is the same as people, if it grows in the north, it will be bigger, the north teaches drought, we have a humid climate here, but it is not conducive to his growth, the old man has carefully cultivated for many years, only to have today's achievements."

He also said: "For example, some people, if they are born in ordinary people's homes, they rarely have the opportunity to contact the outside world, which is nothing more than working all day long, and this is the case for a lifetime, but if they are born in a scholar's family, then they will more or less come into contact with some famous classics, and when they grow up, they will have many ambitions.

Seeing that Li Jingyun listened seriously: "Drink tea", I couldn't help but say a few more words: "And the girls are the same, if they are in an ordinary family, they will keep to themselves when they grow up, thinking that all women in the world are like themselves, and those young ladies from famous families are full of poetry and books, know their status, marry into a wealthy family, and marry into a husband and children, marry a little lower than their own lintel, and take on the heavy responsibility of prospering the family."

"And those women who have been in contact with the outside world a little and see high-rise water pavilions all day long are from middle-class families, who look down on those who are lower than their own status, and naturally can't see the wives of poor families, and often have a yearning for famous families, so they will unconsciously come into contact with the daily dress of those people's wives."

In this way, I feel that all women in the world should be like this, how do I know that I am not worthy of the famous family, and I don't look down on the same people as myself, and naturally complain about the same people as the world's scholars, and blame these dissatisfaction on the men around them, and over time, they will become their own faction, in the end, or because of the different things they come into contact with, it is the same as the tree in this courtyard, don't look at him grows big, but the roots are not as deep as the same big elm tree in the north, that is, the wind and rain here are smooth, if the wind and sand like the north blows, I am afraid that it will blow to the sky long ago”。

Li Jingyun said when he heard this: "Mr. is really erudite, such an esoteric truth, as soon as you say this, I understand a lot", thinking to himself: The daughter of Uncle Zheng in the next village doesn't know what kind of person she is.

He also said: "But the matter is man-made, my eldest brother often tells me that fate is determined by heaven, if you admit it, then there is no way, if you don't admit it, try to make yourself better, no matter how bad it is, it will not be worse than now, I am not afraid now, and I am not afraid in the future."

I lifted the teacup and drank two sips, and there was an extremely bitter taste in my mouth, and I couldn't help but spit it out and said, "It's so bitter."

Cao Pu laughed, everyone he had seen had drunk this tea, but only Li Jingyun was the only one who spit it out, and said: "Everyone else is in my place because of their identity, they all know that my tea is bitter, no one has ever spit it out, Xiaoyou is very honest", said and restarted a cup of tea: "If you are not used to drinking bitter tea, drink this new tea, this tea is not bad."

Li Jingyun even claimed that Xie took the cup.

Said: "I didn't think of this, it stands to reason that I shouldn't have spit it out, alas, or I'm too stupid, I'll definitely pay attention in the future."

Cao Pu said: " That's not a big deal, people like me like honest people very much, there are more than 1,000 sergeants in the courtyard, all of them are too smart, everything thinks they do is right, there is a good saying, show talent rebellion, ten years will not succeed, it's not that they don't have the ability to kill, they want to kill, it's as simple as catching chickens, but because they have read some books, always want to let others go, they are waiting for benefits, but everyone is like this, it can't become the climate, throughout the ages, those who rebelled, most of them were a scholar, leading a group of people who did not read, so that they could succeed”。

Li Jingyun said: "I think it's because the gentlemen who have studied are doing better, and there is no need to rebel."

Cao Pu laughed and said: "It makes sense, it makes sense, come, today the old man respects Xiaoyou, I haven't talked with people like this for a long time, those people are full of flowers, if this person's heart is like a little friend, then why not be the same in the world."

As he spoke, he raised the bitter tea in his hand and drank it.

Li Jingyun said: "Meng Meng always says that I am stupid, I tell others everything, in fact, where are so many bad people in this world, if there are not unspeakable hidden, no one wants to be a bad person, she told me that the Buddha sees people as Buddhas, and ghosts see ghosts as ghosts, I don't understand, why does it have to be a Buddha or a ghost? I am not a ghost, the people around me are also people like me, they are also the same as ordinary people, of course, they are also people, it is nothing more than some difficulties that cannot be said."

Cao Pu was stunned for a moment and sighed: " The hearts of the people in the world are the most unpredictable, in the past, when Taizu was in power, because of a rumor, he killed seventy-two officials of the imperial court, and today the saint because of a word, deposed the hundred schools of thought and respected Confucianism, these are all because of the people's hearts, if everyone ignores those rumors, how can they afford to turn the waves, it happens to be those who refute the people, these words spread all over the city, and they think that they are opposed, and those who are victims will not blame themselves, but they don't know, it happens that he spread these rumors, causing the world to turn against them, under the avalanche, how can there be innocent”。

Li Jingyun said: "Today, I have been taught so much by the ancestors and understood a lot of things, the time is not early, I have to go back to return to the prefect."

Cao Pu looked up at the window and said: "It's too late today, there are still more than 60 miles away from Nanshan Road, I'm afraid that Xiaoyou won't be able to bear it, even if you can afford it, the horse will always have to rest, it's better to stay here for a night, tomorrow I will ask someone to prepare the horses for transfer on the road."

Li Jingyun scratched his head and said: "It makes sense, then I have to disturb the ancestor for one night, and I will set off again tomorrow."

"So good, after I read this letter, I will ask Xiaoyou to go back with a reply tomorrow."

Li Jingyun said: "Then I have to trouble the first teacher."

Cao Pu asked someone to arrange a room for Li Jingyun to live in, and after seeing Li Jingyun leave, he whispered for a long time: "I see how charming Qingshan is, and I expect Qingshan to see me like this", silently said to himself: "If there is no unspeakable secret, who in this world will lie to you." With a long sigh, he turned and picked up the letter, and without looking at it, threw it into the furnace.

Turned and went into the room, thinking for a long time.

Li Jingyun looked at the courtyard of different sizes here, and exclaimed: "It's really good here, there are mountains and rivers."

The little boy who led him next to him turned a deaf ear, walked forward with his head down, and said to a courtyard: "There is no one living here, and the son can live here temporarily."

Li Jingyun thanked the little boy, walked into the courtyard curiously, and said in his heart: Sure enough, it's better to read.

Put down the knife and stick in his hand, stretched his waist, and was about to lie down to rest, when he suddenly heard a sound of gentle footsteps outside the door, got up to check, but saw that the woman who had just spoken to him was tiptoeing on the window to watch.

Li Jingyun said: "Is there something wrong with the girl?"

The woman looked left and right to see that there was no one, beckoned and whispered, "Come here."

Li Jingyun scratched his head, walked over and said, "Girl......."

Before she could finish speaking, the girl made a "shhhh

The two walked to the lake, and the girl said, "The female disciples here are not allowed to enter the men's courtyard, and of course they can't stand there and talk to you."

"Can the male disciple enter the female disciple's courtyard?"

The girl rolled her eyes and said, "Think beautiful."

And he said, "Thank you today, if it weren't for you, the wicked man would have beaten me to death."

Li Jingyun said: "Ah, what is he hitting you? I thought he was coming at me."

The woman said, "I'm ......", and halfway through speaking, she thought about it and said, "Maybe it was coming at you and almost beat me to death."

Li Jingyun frowned slightly, scratched his head and said, "That's really sorry, Miss Lian."

The woman waved her hand and said, "It's okay, it's okay, hey, what's your name, I call my father, the emperor's ......", halfway through the sentence, she stopped covering her mouth with one hand, rolled her eyes up and down, and said, "I'll ask my father to send you something."

Li Jingyun said: "My name is Li Jingyun, there is no need to send things, and I don't need anything."

The woman said: "My name is Zhou Chuji, Jiumo Yunchuji, Huangqu Liu is new."

Where did Li Jingyun understand this sentence, and said with a smile: "I haven't read a book, so I don't understand what it means."

Zhou Chuji said slightly angrily when he heard this: "Idiot!".

Li Jingyun was thinking: Mengmeng also said this about me, and the girl said this about me this week, it must be my problem, it's better not to speak.

Speechless for a while, the woman said, "Why don't you speak?"

Li Jingyun said: "It's not right to say anything, it's better not to speak."

As he was walking, a white-clothed Confucian came from afar. Lang said: "I've seen Princess Chuyun."

Zhou Chuji frowned slightly, and reflexively pulled Li Jingyun and said, "Let's go over there to play."

"I accidentally ruined ...... over there"

"Don't speak".
