Chapter 13 The Plough Courtyard in the South of the City

Gao Fengxiang bowed down to thank him, his mood gradually calmed down, and a resolute and unyielding look appeared on his face. Zheng Xipo got up, clenched his iron fist, and said to Gao Fengxiang: "The situation in Beijing is complicated, and in the future, I will be wronged by Gao Xia to assist Zheng to protect the government with all his might." ”

Gao Fengxiang turned to Zheng Xipo, with a righteous face, and said: "Please also ask Elder Zheng to instruct him to go to the soup and fight for him, and he will not give up." ”

Mr. Wu smiled and invited the two of them to sit down and speak, "The situation in the capital is as Elder Zheng said, and the forces of all parties are intertwined and contain each other. However, don't worry too much, people don't offend me, I don't offend people. The gentleman's words changed, "The two of them have traveled from south to north, and they have seen a lot of things, I don't know if they can judge the identity of Song Lao?"

Zheng Xipo and Gao Fengxiang glanced at each other, but they didn't know what was going on, and they didn't rush to answer. Mr. Wu glanced at the expressions of the two of them, laughed, and said, "The Dayan Empire's bird trapping room is helpless, its identity shouldn't be difficult to guess, right?"

Zheng Xipo smiled awkwardly and replied: "When I first saw Song Lao, I really didn't dare to guess that the two would be the same person, just because I only heard his voice on the rivers and lakes, and I didn't see him." is like Ge Fuzi, belonging to the kind of low-key worldly masters. When it comes to the name of the master, few people know it, but the name of the master of the Spring and Autumn Academy is famous all over the world. I never thought that I would meet such a big man by such a coincidence, it was like a fantasy. ”

"The big man who can look down on the world and be happy with enmity is the only one in the Dayan Empire!" Gao Fengxiang took a sentence, "The people of the world are yearning. ”

"Heroes see the same!" Mr. Wu picked up the teapot and slowly filled the teapot with tea. The fragrance of tea in the room is overflowing, and the fragrance is fragrant. The gentleman stood up, pushed open the window, glanced at the scenery outside the window, and finally his eyes fell on Jian Shuzhi. Jian Shuzhi sat quietly in the corner, listening attentively to everyone's conversation, and couldn't help but be more curious about the identity of the drunkard old man Song Qixian, because he couldn't interject for a long time, as if he was an outsider. At this time, seeing Mr. walking towards him, Jian Shuzhi got up to greet him, "Sir." ”

Mr. Wu smiled and said, "After a few years of farewell to the college, it is like yesterday. I heard that over the years, I have been reading all over the library in the academy and annotating and translating hundreds of schools, how do you feel?"

"Confucianism talks about self-cultivation and governing the country, which is the way to enter the WTO; Taoism talks about going with the flow, which is the way to be born; Buddhism talks about the reincarnation of cause and effect, which is the way to respond to the world; Legalism talks about enriching the country and strengthening the army, which is the way to govern the world; and Mohists talk about love and non-aggression, which is the way to deal with the world...... There are different viewpoints and different legal principles, and they are not judged by superiority or inferiority. The students' bad opinions, the road is 3,000, and the different paths lead to the same end. In the final analysis, it is nothing more than giving to others, giving to oneself and the world, and the way to survive and establish one's life. ”

Mr. Wu nodded in approval, deeply convinced. "With such insight, have you ever thought of becoming an official in the court, asking for life for the people, and helping the world?"

"Thank you, Mr. for your praise, the student is not talented, lest I disappoint Mr. ”

Mr. Wu Xuansheng smiled slightly, as if he already knew the answer, and said: "Everyone has their own ambitions, and they can't be forced. However, it is not surprising to me that you would make such a choice. Such a choice is quite similar to Wu's youth, no wonder I will be very blue-eyed to you. Having said that, this time the four academies gathered in Jingshi, and one of them is an old acquaintance with you, so I never thought of meeting you?"

"Does Mr. mean Miss Wen?" Jian Shuzhi's face was embarrassed, and he asked tentatively, never thinking that Mr. would mention her at this moment, "I haven't seen her for a long time, and I don't know if she still remembers the student." ”

"The group of Qinglu Academy settled in the Yuelai Inn in the south of the city, and it was easy to find. I have time to find another girl's house to catch up with the old days, and Lala is homely. I haven't seen you in person, how do you know she won't remember you?"

Hearing this, Zheng Lao covered his mouth and smiled, and took off his usual stereotypical look. Gao Fengxiang was afraid that the world would not be chaotic, so he jokingly echoed on the side, "If you are timid, Gao will give you the courage to go." ”

Jian Shuzhi made a disgusted expression for the two of them, and said, "You don't have to worry about this matter for the two busy people." "But there is a small wave in my heart, if I don't want to see it, no one should believe it!

At this time, I only heard the little fat man shouting Jian Shuzhi's name loudly in the courtyard. Jian Shuzhi glanced out the window, didn't see him, and heard his voice first. The little fat man was panting tiredly, with his hands on his hips, and walked towards the study with difficulty. Jian Shuzhi glanced back at everyone, Mr. Wu understood his careful thoughts, and motioned for him to play with Xiaopang. Estimating that Mr. and Mr. Zheng and Gao Fengxiang still had important matters to discuss, Jian Shuzhi said goodbye to everyone and took the first step.

The little fat man waited for Jian Shuzhi to approach, and complained constantly, saying that the path in the courtyard was like a maze, turning around and almost getting lost. Fortunately, the maid in the house was clever and pointed out the direction before she found the study, otherwise, she would have to look for half a day.

The little fat man sat on the ground, waited for his breath to be smooth, and said, "It's really boring to watch those two drunkards play chess, so I sneaked out." It's boring to stay in the courtyard, so I come to you. I heard that there are many lively places in Kyoto, so why don't we go out for a walk while it's still early?"

"When you get to Jingshi, are you still afraid that you won't have time to go out?" Besides, if you are new to the city and are not familiar with the place, it will not be safe for the two of you to go out alone, right?" Jian Shuzhi disagreed with the little fat man's proposal, and said, "Why don't you go and watch the master and them play chess?"

When the little fat man heard that he was going to watch a game of chess, he refused in every way, and he didn't want to go. At this moment, Song Zhishu sneaked out of nowhere, trotted all the way to them, and said, "Little fat man, I know that you are clever and have found a chance to sneak away." ”

The little fat man motioned to Song Zhishu to be quieter and asked, "Why did you run out too?"

"I'm really not in the mood to watch it, out of sight and out of mind. What are you doing yet, before the two of you notice that we have sneaked out, hurry up and flash people first?"

The little fat man looked happy, rubbed his hands and asked, "What do you mean?"

"Trekking through mountains and rivers, bumpy roads, finally came to Jingshi, how can you not find a chance to go out for a walk?" Song Zhishu replied. The little fat man signaled to Song Zhishu that Jian Shuzhi didn't want to go out, and Song Zhishu turned his head to look at him, waiting for him to answer.

"How much this dislikes the chess skills of Ge Fuzi and Song Lao!" Jian Shuzhi deliberately sighed on the side.

"Now there are two people with the same opinion, Jian Shuzhi, are you going or not going?" The little fat man was also waiting for his answer.

"It seems that watching chess is equivalent to entering a fire pit, since there are three people traveling together, then go out and have a wave!" Jian Shuzhi replied.

Without further ado, a group of three people slipped out of the mansion quickly. Jian Shuzhi joked that Song Zhishu was too pretending, and he had to carry the broken sword wherever he went, for fear that others would not know that he was a famous swordsman. When the little fat man heard this, he was happy, and hit Song Zhishu along the way, "It's a pity, I've never seen a sword drawn! I don't know if it's an embroidered pillow - it's useless." Calling it a swordsman, that's really lifting. Song Zhishu joked with them unhurriedly and said: "This is the soldier you don't know the goods, and the real master can surrender without a fight." When the sword is out, it falls into the inferior. ”

The little fat man sneered and said, "As for the swordsmanship, we don't know. But for sure, the cowhide is blowing loudly!"

Song Zhishu can be regarded as having crawled and fought in the rivers and lakes, his face was invulnerable to the old man tempered by the drunkard, he calmly accepted all doubts, and stretched out his thumb to the little fat man with a smile, "Have vision!"

If the drunkard old man was not respected by Zheng Xipo and Gao Fengxiang and others, Jian Shuzhi didn't dare to imagine that he would be a martial arts master, and he couldn't believe it. Song Zhishu can have such a "brazen" performance at this moment, which is indeed the true biography of the drunkard old man, and he is not surprised by this, and he deeply believes it. After all, the two are not only father and son, but also master and apprentice.

These three people are all first-time students in Beijing, and they are all chicks, so they can't recognize the way, so they can only turn around wantonly, and find that they have either walked into a dead end or a maze. At this time, Jian Shuzhi's role has been brought into play, and he can always find the original way back as soon as possible. Song Zhishu was very surprised by this, and the little fat man sarcastically mocked him again, "This is the master, do you know?"

Jian Shuzhi proposed to find someone to ask for the next way, so wandering around has neither goal nor efficiency. You have to decide where to go first, and then how to get there.

The two replied in unison, "It must be a crowded and fun place!"

It was still early, and in the evening, they were looking for people to ask for directions. When he heard what he meant, a smile appeared on his face, and his eyebrows fluttered: "Listening to three people whose accents don't seem to be those who have lived in Kyoto for a long time, are they new arrivals? There is a plough courtyard in the south of the city, there is food and drink, and there is an endless stream of guests, and it is very lively. It is the ideal place that people like you and me, who have left their hometowns, are looking for to relieve their hometown sorrows......" After speaking, he glanced at Jian Shuzhi and the fat man again, his face was embarrassed, and he kindly reminded, "With all due respect, the three handsome men are dressed plainly, but they don't know that they can bring enough silver taels on their bodies?"

When Jian Shuzhi saw that the little fat man seemed to be indignant, and was about to make a sarcastic remark, he hurriedly spoke first, thanked him and said, "Thank you for this big brother's guidance, I am very grateful." The three of us really came to the treasure land for the first time, and they were in a hurry, and they didn't bring more money. ”

When the scholar heard this, he smiled and said, "It's also a wonderful person!"

When the scholar walked away, the little fat man snorted angrily, "A dog looks down on people, and he is not a good person if he looks at it." Song Zhishu glanced at the indignant appearance of the little fat man, grinned and smirked, and really responded to that sentence, the wicked have their own wicked grinding. The little fat man asked Jian Shuzhi why he was stopping him from speaking just now. Song Zhishu helped answer, "If I don't stop you, I guess it's all going to be fighting now." ”

Jian Shuzhi said: "Actually, this person also has good intentions, but he just expressed it inappropriately, and he can't be angry. The capital is not as good as the Spring and Autumn Academy, or it is more thoughtful, and if you can cause less trouble, you will have less trouble. ”

Song Zhishu gently patted the little fat man on the shoulder and asked, "Do you still want to go to this plough courtyard in the south of the city?"

The little fat man came back to his senses and asked, "Why did you ask me?"

"Only you have money on you, you are the God of Wealth!" Jian Shuzhi and Song Zhishu said in unison.

The little fat man burst out laughing and said proudly, "It turns out that I am the God of Wealth." Let's go!"
