Zhao Qingrou waited for Li Zhiyu to tidy up his clothes, looked at the young man with a little mud on his clothes in front of him, and felt that the young man's face was dotted with mud, and it was not interesting to look at it like this, just like the cat he raised, there was nothing else in his body, just mottled and interspersed, every time he touched his hair, he felt very interesting to listen to the purr in his throat.

Zhao Qingrou took out a handkerchief from her arms and handed it to the young man, Li Zhiyu's heart was slightly warm, and he took the handkerchief from her hand with a red face. The handkerchief was in hand, and it felt slightly warm, presumably it was brought by Zhao Qingrou, Li Zhiyu took the snow-white handkerchief, but he didn't wipe it off his face, just held it blankly. The girl's face was blushing and said coquettishly: "What, you don't use it, why is this?" Li Zhiyu didn't answer in a deep voice, smelling the wisps of fragrance in his nose, and he only felt comfortable. When Zhao Qingrou was loud and coquettish, she reacted, looking at the exquisite handkerchief in her hand, she felt that it was very inappropriate to wipe the mud on her face like this, but if she said that she wanted to keep this handkerchief, then she ....... Li Zhiyu didn't know what to do, but he just held his handkerchief and was silent.

Zhao Qingrou saw that Li Zhiyu didn't move for a long time, just stood still, her expression seemed to have sunk into the peach blossom garden, and she didn't know what life she was in. Slightly annoyed in his heart, he gave him the champa he brought, but he didn't use it, is this looking down on me? The girl was slightly annoyed in her heart, and stretched out her hand to fight. Li Zhiyu saw the girl's annoyance, and he didn't know why, but he thought that he had annoyed her again, and he blamed himself in his heart.

The plum tree swayed gently, and the occasional residual leaves fell. Zhao Qingrou picked up a leaf that occasionally fell on the ground, but she didn't look at Li Zhiyu. A woman's mood is indescribable, not to mention a tricky and unspeakable girl like Zhao Qingrou. Li Zhiyu held the champa quietly and did not speak, and Zhao Qingrou squatted silently. The two of them are lonely, only the occasional drizzle falling next to their ears brings a hint of coolness.

Zhao Qingrou threw away the leaf in her hand, saw that Li Zhiyu was still standing in a daze, stood up angrily, stretched out her hand to grab the handkerchief, and turned away. Li Zhiyu didn't know why, watching Zhao Qingrou take back the handkerchief and turn away, his heart was slightly gloomy. Following the girl a few steps away, Zhao Qingrou was still silent, Li Zhiyu hesitated left and right, and the two walked for a short time and came to the eight plum trees that were slightly larger than ordinary plum trees.

Looking ahead, there are crowds of people around me, and the flow of people is one after another, so it is lively. However, this place is not quite the same as the outer perimeter of Plum Forest. The crowd of onlookers on the periphery looked at his clothes, all of them were ordinary people in the market, and the people they often watched had nothing but handicrafts, juggling, fortune telling, and nothing else. However, the crowd here is all dressed in brocade robes, except for a few young men, most of them are old men with long beards and white beards. The old man put the wine in the wind, and he had his own bearing.

Zhao Qingrou walked straight to the fourth plum tree regardless of it, squatted down, and pulled the weeds on the ground with her slender fingers. A young showman looked at Zhao Qingrou who was squatting, his eyes lit up, and he walked over quickly. The young Xiushi was about sixteen or seventeen years old, with a crown to tie his hair, inlaid with gold and jade, a pair of peach blossom eyes, a face like a crown of jade, a slender nose bridge, and green silk occasionally falling, with more evil feelings. The young man approached and bowed. Zhao Qingrou didn't care about it, she didn't raise her head, she just pulled the grass in front of her. The young Xiushi was not ashamed or annoyed, his expression was still the same, he squatted down, and put it in Liu Qingrou's ear and didn't know what to say, and after a while, Zhao Qingrou pursed her lips and smiled. The young showman bowed his head slightly, and the folding fan shook gently, but he also had his own bearing before many famous Confucian dignitaries.

Li Zhiyu stood still, originally about to go over and ask Zhao Qingrou why her face suddenly changed and became angry, but looking at the young showman's folding fan and shaking it gently, and Zhao Qingrou spoke softly, this step was no longer the slightest step. If you compare yourself with this young man, you are like a firefly competing with the bright moon. Li Zhiyu's expression was gloomy, and he pulled the handkerchief tightly, sweat was slightly soaked, but the handkerchief was wrinkled a lot.

After a while, Zhao Qingrou and the man were obviously finished talking about the past. Zhao Qingrou raised her hand lightly and pointed in her direction. Li Zhiyu saw that the girl stood up and looked at herself, her heart was so happy, and she was about to get up and go to explain, but Zhao Qingrou stood still, but the man turned around and strode towards him.

The plums are layered, and the branches and leaves are stacked on top of each other, like gold and jade.

"This little brother, who has been with Qingrou for a long time, knows her temperament. Although there are occasional tricks, Qingrou is still young, if she is at fault first, she should make up for it in private. I also hope that the little brother will be more generous, and go to apologize to Qingrou and make her happy. The man said softly, a pair of peach blossom eyes looked at Li Zhiyu's gentle face, and his face was sincere.

Li Zhiyu saw the young man's words like this, if he didn't go, he would seem stingy, but he would go like this, if Zhao Qingrou thought that he had listened to the young man's words and turned his head to apologize, would it make Zhao Qingrou and him more intimate. Thinking of this, Li Zhiyu suddenly lost in his heart for some reason, just like his mud-stained robe, which was embarrassing. The boy sulked and stood still. Rao is brother in front of him has excellent cultivation, and at this moment, he has to secretly slander himself in his heart, but this guy is a little petty.

The two looked at each other speechlessly, and Li Zhiyu just ignored the Tsing Yi Xiushi. Although this Tsing Yi Xiushi is reasonable, he is so intimate with Zhao Qingrou that he is even suspected of being a childhood sweetheart. This, what should I do? Li Zhiyu sighed lightly in his heart, looking at the crisp green plums on the tree, he was so confused in his heart, but this feeling was something that Zhao Shuli had never had since he left.

In the distance, an old Confucian in white cleared his throat and said loudly: "Ladies and gentlemen, we will meet in Meilin every year, or the three religions and mysteries, or the flow of water, or the words and poems or the arguments of Huayi, what my generation wants is nothing more than to set up a ceremony for this heaven and earth, write a virtue for this sentient being, and establish a Taoist system for this world." But now the north of Great Chu and the three tribes of the grassland are in peace, and the south is married to Wu Yue and pays tribute, and my Great Chu is martyred, and the ancestors have only obtained this domain when they are ragged. Chopping thorns, drinking ice and snow, destroying the land in the south, slaying Kou in the north, living in the four seas, and embracing the wealth of mountains and rivers, but why is my Dachu defeated in the north in the past few decades, and lost in the south in the south?" As everyone listened to the words, they all put down their wine glasses. I thought that today's gathering of Meilin was the same as in the past, and when everyone drank plum wine, they would flow and flow water, and the poems and books were extremely entertaining. But the old Confucian opened his mouth to talk about the current state affairs of the Chu State, but everyone was unexpected. Except for a few people who are worried, most of them are immersed in meditation, as if they are thinking hard about countermeasures.

After listening to the old Confucian's words, the Tsing Yi Xiushi walked straight back. stood beside Zhao Qingrou, but did not speak, just pondered bitterly. Li Zhiyu saw that everyone was silent, and walked half a foot away from Zhao Qingrou. I thought of the past, when Mr. taught poetry in class, he talked endlessly, but every time he talked about history books, he wanted to talk about it, especially modern history books, which were even more spitting, just sighing deeply. It is only said that many kings of Great Chu have made great achievements, but it is said that in recent years, the country has deteriorated, and Great Chu is in danger. Li Zhiyu sighed softly, in the past, when he read history, he only felt that he could improve his pen power, which was extremely beneficial for writing essays and chapters, but now he can hear the voice of the old Confucian and the voice of sadness, but he has another feeling in his heart.

After a while, an old Confucian got up and replied: "Brother Wen Ruo, I think this country's decline has a lot to do with the border defense of the north and south. In the past few decades, most of the money and grain of our Chu country have flowed into the northern and southern border defenses, and the water conservancy in the country has not flourished, so agriculture has not flourished, and the taxes have been heavy, so the merchants have not prospered; the country has fought hard, and the people have suffered from wars, and the border defense of the north and south is just like the two stubborn diseases of our Great Chu. Since Huang Yujin and Huang Shangshu presided over the peace with the north ten years ago, my Da Chu has only breathed a sigh of relief over the years, if I blindly follow what Brother Wen Ruo said, blindly conquer and fight, my Da Chu will only become more and more decayed, and even ....." said Behind, the old Confucian was silent and stood silently.

Nowadays, many famous Confucian scholars are silent, and the rumors they only listen to are becoming more and more urgent.

In the distance, Liu Chengqing and the three came together. Liu Zhiqing looked at Li Zhiyu, who was standing alone and silent, smiled slightly, walked over, patted the young man on the back, Li Zhiyu looked back, and looked at Liu Zhiqing's heart. Several people finished talking about the old days, and they all immediately turned their heads to look at the two old Confucians in the center.

The old servant who followed Zhao Qingrou saw that everyone was silent, as if waiting for the next word from the central crowd. But his own young lady didn't know where she was, so she was anxious, and hurriedly said: "Little Brother Li, don't you know where my young lady is?" Li Zhiyu was stunned when he heard this, recalled the words of the Tsing Yi Xiushi, his heart was depressed, and he stretched out his hand and pointed to the fourth big plum tree. The old servant looked intently, only to see the girl who was sitting silently, and beside the girl stood a young boy in a Confucian robe.

The old servant was only afraid that the young lady would be bullied, and the boy was carrying his body and couldn't see his face, I was afraid that it was Li Zhiyu's cowardly character, which was the case. The old servant was flustered in his heart, and said to Liu Chengqing: "Mr. Liu, how about I go and watch?" Liu Chengqing bowed slightly, and the four of them walked towards the fourth plum tree.

When a few people approached, the old servant looked at the girl with a smile on her face, and her heart was slightly relaxed. When the young man noticed that someone had turned around behind him, the old servant said with a little joy: "Haiju." The boy in Tsing Yi bowed slightly, bowed down, and was graceful. Li Zhiyu saw that the young man in Tsing Yi behaved with his own bearing, and he also felt close in his heart, but when he saw Zhao Qingrou's smiling cheeks, there was a kind of alienation in his heart.

The old servant introduced the three people around him one by one, and the introduction of everyone was finished. Li Zhiyu peeked at the girl, Zhao Qingrou seemed to notice, snorted lightly, and turned her head away. Li Zhiyu's expression was slightly sad, and when he saw Zhao Qingrou turn his head and disappear, the loss in his heart was even stronger, and he bowed his head and buried his head. The Tsing Yi Xiushi spoke softly and persuaded each other, and after a while, the girl gently covered her mouth, showing a smile.

At this moment, the two old Confucians who were faintly antagonistic in the center were silent for a long time, and the old Confucian who had previously called Wen Ruo said loudly: "What Brother Bingjie said is also the words of the family, but if I blindly endure humiliation and seek peace, my Dachu will retreat bloodily over time, and in the end, the grain and rice accumulated will only be the capital of the enemy's army, and the road built is only convenient for the enemy to attack me." In this way, my Dachu is even more critical. After Xu Wenruo finished speaking, the surrounding sages nodded.

Li Bingjie said: "Brother Wen Ruo's words are polite at first hearing, and what my generation has cultivated is nothing more than the word "benevolence and righteousness", but blindly as Brother Wen Ruo said, my Great Chu pours the strength of the country, if the whole country marches north, then if Wu Yue in the south forms an alliance with the north and tries his best to defeat me, then I can't take care of the north and the south of Chu, and it is even more difficult to say. Compared with Wu Yue, it is average. Li Bingjie said in a deep voice, his face grim. Many celebrities around them bowed their heads and were silent, pondering the words of the two.

Under the plum tree, everyone in Tsing Yi Xiushi was silent at this moment, thinking carefully about the words of the two predecessors, and felt that what the two said was reasonable. It's just that each has its own emptiness, if it is as Xu Wenruo said, Da Chu will only know how to plough and fight, and live a floating life; if it is as Li Bingjie said, blindly endure humiliation and seek peace, I am afraid that I will lose my blood, and I will be suspected of being slaughtered by others, and I will think hard for a long time, so I walked out of the plum tree and stood in the middle of the two great Confucians.

Everyone raised their heads, and their eyes instantly focused on the young man, even the contemplative ones, looking at the gentle smile on the young man's face. Tsing Yi Xiushi bowed and saluted, and said to everyone: "Both of them are my big Chu humerus, regardless of whether the court and the wild rivers and lakes have a good name. Even if there are difficulties in the saints today, they often consult with the two, which is enough to see the two of them's literary strategy. But Haiju has two questions, and I hope that the two will solve their doubts. Zhang Haiju breathed a sigh of relief, and when he had made up his mind, he spoke: "Haiju thinks that if you don't know it, it will be empty talk, and it will be false words if you don't judge it, and I am afraid that it will be flashy and untrue." Now the two of them are only looking at it from the outside, so if you look at me from the outside, you will enter a strange circle, and if you look at it from the inside, it will be very different. I have a territory of thousands of miles, watching the sunset in the west and the sunrise in the east, and the customs of various places are very different. If we blindly look at it from the outside, compared with the military strength, the northern country is undoubtedly much better than our Great Chu, and compared with the prosperity of shipping products, Wu Yue is also stronger than our Great Chu. But compared with Bingge, fish and salt, my Great Chu is also stronger than the other two countries. Now the trend, the three kingdoms are extinct, there is no country to destroy the country, if I attack the north of the Chu alliance with the south, and the south of the peace with the north, this is the truth. Zhang Haiju would like to ask the two of you, if it is true that as Mr. Wen Ruo said, if our army and people in Great Chu are only self-reliant and self-reliant, and only care about themselves, then it will be difficult to defeat the general trend of the world, how is this good?

Zhang Haiju talked generally, and the celebrities around him were all blue-eyed, and they all praised: "What a thousand-mile horse!"
