Chapter 40: What does it mean to do something and not to do something?!

Somewhere in the wilderness of Yanyang County, Guqingguo.

A young Confucian scholar walked on a fairly spacious ancient road, there were not many people on the official road, and there was a bit of a desolate feeling, obviously this ancient road is not too important now.

After walking for a while, the scholar found a large bluestone on the side, sat down and began to rest and eat dry food.

Da-da-da-da!

At the end of the gentle and continuous ancient road, several black horses appeared, and a few young people sat on them, like young people from the Jianghu sect came out to travel.

It wasn't very fast, but it soon came to the reader's side.

"This son, do you know how far Yanyang County ahead will be?"

After the four men dismounted, one of the young monks asked. The four young men, three men and one woman, all dressed in blue and wearing swords, had the same style, and at first glance they were from the same sect.

"It's coming, about twenty miles away. The reader said.

"Liu Zhiheng, a disciple of the inner disciple of the Lower Blue Clothed Sect, I don't know what this son is called?" was a little older, looking at the man in blue who was already twenty-six or seventeen years old, he asked with his fists clenched.

"The surname is Kong Nianyu, the name of the gods, and I want to see it for a long time during this trip. This is Kong Nianyu, the first gentleman of Confucianism, replied with a smile.

"The Kingdom of God, the location of the Confucian Mansion! Although the national strength of the Kingdom of God is average, the existence of a Confucian Mansion is enough to make a name for itself in Zhongzhou! Gongzi looks like a person who reads poetry and books a lot, and is different from us people who read books and half-baked people. Liu Zhiheng said with a smile.

"Gongzi Kong, I don't know if you have been to the Confucian Mansion? I heard that there are many young gentlemen there, all of whom are chic and romantic. The woman in blue asked.

"Senior Sister Yu, what's wrong? I want to take a look and make friends with a gentleman? Then Senior Brother Liu is going to die of sadness. Another young man in blue quipped.

"Sun Changshu, I can't even ask? Look at what he Liu Zhiheng dares to say. The woman in blue said angrily.

Liu Zhiheng shrunk his neck when he heard this, he really didn't dare to say anything.

"Been there a few times too. There are many gentlemen and sages, but most of them are men over the age of 20, but not too many. Among them, the temperament is outstanding and the appearance is good, there are really not many. Kong Nianyu replied with a smile.

"I think Kong Gongzi's temperament and appearance are very good, but he is not from Confucianism, otherwise he must be a gentleman who is famous in Zhongzhou. The tall man in blue named Sun Changshu praised.

"Huh, isn't there a very famous gentleman in the Confucian Mansion, just called Kong Nianyu?" Among the four, the man in blue, who had been silent, suddenly spoke.

"It's just a duplicate name. Every time I say my name, someone mentions it, and I am embarrassed. Kong Nianyu waved his hand helplessly.

"Brother Kong, except that he is not a cultivator and has no realm, the others are no worse than Kong Nianyu of the Confucian Mansion. Liu Zhiheng grinned and comforted.

"Prizes have been awarded. Kong Nianyu smiled indifferently and hugged his fists.

"Isn't there a resting place? After Liu Zhiheng poured a sip of cold water, he rode on a black horse, then looked at Kong Nianyu and said, "Brother Kong, do you know how to ride a horse?"

"A little. Kong Nianyu replied.

"Xiaoyan, I'll take you, let Brother Kong ride your horse. Liu Zhiheng said to the woman in blue with a little blush.

The woman in blue also blushed slightly when she heard this, but she was not hypocritical, but dismounted directly and handed over the reins to Kong Nianyu.

"Thank you, girl. Kong Nianyu bowed his head to show his gratitude.

Five people and four riders, walking slowly on this ancient road, the horse's hooves stepping on the autumn leaves that have withered, making a "rustling" sound, accompanied by the coolness of the winter wind, making people feel a little dreamlike desolation.

The sky is blue, and the winter sun is always high, but it is also always warm. It is only in winter that you can feel the warmth from the sun.

More than 20 miles away, five people arrived in more than an hour.

Outside Yanyang County, everyone saw this big city of Biansai, which is slightly famous in Zhongzhou, for the first time.

Although Zhongzhou has no empire, there are many relatively powerful dynasties, and there are many large and small wars.

Among them, this city is the old city that has not been destroyed in many wars, and there is a poet who was not born in the Confucian family but is still famous and fought here.

"Brother Kong, what does that poem say? What golden scales open, what swallow fat purple. Sun Changshu was tall, but he was not stupid, and he was also more talkative, so he asked Kong Nianyu.

"The black clouds crushed the city and wanted to destroy it, and the armor light opened to the moon and gold scales. ”

"The sound of horns fills the sky with autumn colors, stuffed with swallow fat and night purple. ”

"Half a roll of red flags is in the water, and the frost is heavy and the cold is silent. ”

"Repay the king's intention on the golden platform, and carry the jade dragon to die for the king. ”

Kong Nianyu was silent as soon as she spoke, thinking of the thin woman she met who was homeless because of the war and her children.

That woman, she is not as old as herself, right? Kong Nianyu's heart ached slightly, and he suddenly hated secular wars a little.

In the past, he just didn't like war, because no matter what the purpose of the war, people had to die, and the common people had to be displaced, and Confucianism emphasized that "the people are precious", so although he knew that sometimes some wars had to be fought, he didn't like war.

Now he began to hate war. Because of what? Because the woman stood proudly like a plum tree in the midst of hunger and cold? Sometimes, the sages and sages in the book can't explain the thoughts in the hearts of the world, which is what those Confucian Confucians, Taoist real people, and Buddhist monks have always wanted to figure out, and it is also the wonderful thing in the world.

"This poem is good, even if I haven't read a few books, I feel a tragic and lofty momentum. Liu Zhiheng nodded in admiration.

"I haven't read a few books, and I dare to learn to read, and I am not ashamed to be in front of Gongzi Kong. Yu Xiaoyan pinched Liu Zhiheng's waist in front of him and said angrily.

Liu Zhiheng just smiled and didn't speak.

"Then let's not change the green mountains and green waters! In the future, we will meet again in the rivers and lakes!" After Liu Zhiheng, Kong Nianyu and the other five entered the county town, because of the different destinations, they all had their own affairs, so they had to go separately.

"Meet again!" Kong Nianyu smiled and clenched his fists.

"Brother Kong, I didn't say it, with your smile, you will have to kill a large number of rich daughters in the future. Sun Changshu didn't forget to make a joke before leaving.

Alone in the ancient city of the former golden iron horse and the beacon fire, Kong Nianyu walked aimlessly and purposefully.

He always felt that in this ancient city of Guqing, which was not a great dynasty, he could find a big opportunity or a big accident. It's an instinctive feeling as a peerless genius.

The ancient city of Yanyang County happened to be cloudy today, the cold wind was howling, the bones were biting, there were few pedestrians on the road, and many stalls had closed their stalls and gone home.

Kong Nianyu kept walking and walking, and when it was dusk, he walked half of the ancient city of Yanyang.

At this time, snowflakes fell in the sky. This is the first snow that Kong Nianyu has seen today.

There was a light snow, there were no paving on the road, and there were almost no pedestrians, and they all hurried home.

"Get out! When did the geisha become so noble? As long as the guests have money, their demands are the highest! And these two little children, they eat and live here for nothing every day, what a waste of food and wasted air!" A Lou named "Drunken Flower Building", an old woman who still wears heavy makeup, with a few tall men, pushed a thin woman out of the main entrance, and then picked up the two children and threw them out.

"Bustard's mother. Let me go, yes. But my monthly money this month ......," the woman said distressedly as she picked up a pair of children, and then took their little hands and said to the old bustard.

"Smack!"

When the old bustard heard this, he was furious and slapped the thin woman in the face, and the woman's face did not change, but she looked at the old bustard with a stubborn face.

"Do you still want this month's monthly money? Do you know it's because of you! Wang Gongzi is angry with me! Wang Gongzi is a good friend of our only son of Yanyang County! It's because of you!" The old bustard said this, his eyes were cold, and he slapped the other side of the woman's face again, and the woman's face, which was pale because of the cold, was completely red because of the hot pain at this time.

"I said at the beginning, I'm only a geisha, and you promised to let me only play the piano. The human heart is repeated, but that's it. That's it, don't do it. The woman smiled sadly, holding a pair of children who were very thin from malnutrition, and was about to leave.

The snow that fell from the sky was bigger and more urgent, and it smashed all over the world, like the feathers of a swan that were plucked out and then thrown into the sky and then fell.

The old bustard's face was pale, and he felt that he had been ridiculed and humiliated, and scolded loudly: "Stop me!

"Don't hurt my mother. The little boy, who was no more than three or four years old, cried and begged, and the little girl, who was about the same age, was so frightened that she couldn't cry.

"Okay, then I'll slap your mother again, and then lose an arm, even if it's her compensation for our drunken flower building. The old bustard's face was hideous, and he sneered "amiably" and raised his right hand high.

At the end of this street, a Confucian student happened to walk here, and just happened to witness the previous scene, and his eyes were full of tears in distress.

In his opinion, it is all the truth of fart, what a gentleman does something and does not do something, what does it mean to do something and not do something?
