2. Red and green

"Second brother, I'm going to deliver dinner to my eldest brother. Mu Hibiscus smiled and walked out carrying a pine openwork double-layer food box.

Shi Jing covered the swollen boss's cheeks and said angrily: "Get out, I think about your eldest brother all day long, I don't care about your second brother at all, let's go." ”

Mu Hibiscus laughed out loud when he heard the "poof", his second brother is jealous?

"Then I'll go. ”

"Slow, go to the counter and get a few dollars, go out and buy some if you like something, the girl's house, there is no decent clothes. Go early and come back early, and I'll take you to the night market tonight. Shi Jing was still not at ease, and shouted to the counter, "Liuzi, come out and go with your sister." If your sister hurts a hair, I'll turn you into medicine!"

"Hey, hey, the second brother has an order, you still don't worry about our affairs, it's not as good as the forbidden army, and it's not far from ten. Liuzi patted his bony chest and assured Shijing.

"Come on, you can fucking blow better than Lao Tzu. There's no roof to stop your kid from going to the sky, hurry up, don't bother Lao Tzu!" Shi Jing waved his hand impatiently, and then got up and went to the medicine cabinet to find medicine to reduce swelling.

Out of Zhonghe Hall, go straight east and cross three avenues to Huazhou Academy. Speaking of this Huazhou Academy, it was still relegated to Dengzhou more than 50 years ago, and was built under the auspices of the Taishou, after several generations of development, it is already the largest government-run academy in Dengzhou. All the people in this area who have heads and faces have sent their young masters here for a number of years, in order to get into the aura of Wenqu Xing and get a good reputation in the future.

"The king of the ancients, there are historians in the world, and the king must write books, so be cautious in words and deeds, and obey the French style. The left history is the record, the right history is the "Spring and Autumn Period", and the words are the "Shangshu". On the podium, Chen Shizi was dressed in a blue-gray straight-lined linen scribe's robe, carrying his hands behind his back and holding a ring ruler. Today's "Hanshu Art and Literature Chronicles" to the students, at this hour, my sister should be bringing food to herself.

By this passage you will know. In ancient times, emperors' words and deeds would be recorded by historians, so they paid special attention to their own behavior and obeyed the law. It is precisely because of the historian that the emperor will not do radical things. Shi Zi was just about to continue, but a disheveled man with a disheveled cape asked.

"Sir, can't the emperor just kill the historian?

I saw that this person had a colorful brocade chicken embroidered on his clothes, and he was wearing a green Qiqi curly robe on his lower body. Its face is like a crown of jade, its mouth is like a cherry, its waist is like a prime, and its shoulders are like a shaved shoulder. Listening to the voice is a young man, but he looks like a cardamom girl.

Shi Zi stared at this person, and he was unexpectedly distracted. It wasn't until a student in the front row pulled at the placket of his shirt that he came back to his senses.

"Oh, that's your question. Ah, do you still think the same way as him?"

After Shi Zi said this, the underground nodded in response.

Shizi sighed and motioned for the man to sit down. Slowly spoke:

"The first emperor ordered the burning of books and the extinction of learning, and he listened to Li Si's advice and issued an edict: 'The world dares to have a collection, and those who speak a hundred languages will be burned by the guards. There are those who dare to say even words, abandon the market'. Although no one dared to speak for a while, because of this matter, he was scolded by Confucianism for all generations, if it is really as you said, kill the historian, you killed one person, is it difficult to stop the mouths of all living beings?"

The person who asked the question nodded thoughtfully. Shizi asked again:

"What's your name, where are you?"

"Student, Kong Shen, a native of Jimo County, Shanyang County. Sir, I heard that Yang Yuhuan served as a concubine for Emperor Tang Ming for six years from the twenty-sixth year of Kaiyuan to the fourth year of Tianbao, during which time they also made peace through an underground corridor. Aren't these things also written down by the historians?" Kong Shen looked at Chen Shizi with a wicked smile, and then secretly observed the reactions of the underground students.

Originally, when a few sleepy students heard about such a beautiful thing, they immediately had the spirit and began to set up seedlings to coax.

"Sir, just tell me about it. ”

"yes, one by one. ”

Shi Zi stood on the stage, and that face was really wonderful. He had an idea and asked, "I have read so many history books, but I have not seen such secrets as you mentioned, how did you know about them?" ”

Kong Shen in the audience was stunned, this old boy from my mother asked me to follow him to listen to the class, and now he will be my army again. Could it be that I said, this thing about Li Longji and Yang Yuhuan was heard from Bai Juyi's kid hundreds of years ago?

"Okay, okay, stop making a fuss, let's get out of class. Let's go back and review what we talked about today. Tomorrow I will find someone to talk about. ”

【Huazhou Academy•Backyard】

"I asked you to come over and liven up the class for me, why did you bring out those meat jokes of yours again. Shi Zi sat at the square table with Kong Shen in his study in the backyard, drinking a cake of dragon and phoenix group tea given by the emperor, and counting Kong Shen at the same time.

"Hey, how can this be called a meat joke. Kong Qiu also told his students about 'color eating' back then. Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty also raised male pets. What the hell am I talking about, huh?!" Kong Shen looked at Chen Shizi with an unhappy expression, his eyes as big as a cowbell.

"You have to go, your old man has lived for thousands of years, you know astronomy and geography, and you admire it!" Shi Zi finished speaking, and went to the inner room to find a book with a teacup.

"Hey, Xiao Chen, Lao Chen, Brother Chen, don't go. Let me tell you about the adultery of Emperor Han Cheng and Zhao Feiyan. ”

"What kind of poetry, is Brother Kong and my brother reciting poetry again?" Mu Hibiscus coincidentally walked in with a food box at this time. Kong Shen wiped a cold sweat in his heart, but fortunately he didn't let this little girl hear the words in front of him.

"Oh ha, yes, yes, my brother and I are here to write poetry. Hahaha," Kong Shen smiled awkwardly but politely.

"Here, sit down and rest, and ignore this whore. Shi Zi hurriedly took the food box in Mu Hibiscus's hand, his sister didn't know Kong Shen's true identity, and it was better to be careful in the face of this old monster who had lived for thousands of years.

"What is my little sister eating today? Kong Shen approached Mu Hibiscus with a smile on his face.

"Today, there is a stewed pork knuckle with licorice wood, and I also specially went to the cooking cakes of Mrs. Zhang's house sold on East Second Street. Brother, I put a few pieces of ginseng in my pig's hand, how about you try it. ”

When Hibiscus said the first half, Kong Shen smiled, said that ginseng was put in the soup, and the smile disappeared immediately.

"What? put the ginseng, okay, good, you have to eat this this season, hurry up, hurry up and eat it while it's hot." Lao Chen, come on, come on, eat together, my little sister's craft is not covered. As he spoke, Shi Zi opened the food box, smelled the aroma coming from the soup cup with an exaggerated expression, and raised his eyebrows hintively at Kong Shen.

Kong Shen: "I'm ...... the"

"Is there anyone, is Mr. Chen Shizi here?" Kong Shen had a keen ear, and suddenly heard the voice of the person at the gate of Huazhou Academy.

"Someone called you, go out and take a look. Lao Tzu went out to buy a cake to eat. After Kong Shen finished speaking, he got up and walked out.

"Hey, Brother Kong, eat some ginseng slices, it's very replenishing. ”

"Roll on, don't eat, don't eat, don't eat a bite!"

When Shizi came to the gate of Huazhou Academy, he saw a woman full of civility, wearing a plain skirt, waiting anxiously, holding a letter in her hand.

"Hello, I'm Chen Shizi, dare to ask Your Excellency what you do?" Seeing the living person, Shizi put on that crepe look again.

"Master Li, a slave, today I ask Mr. to forward the letter on my behalf. Mr. Lao Fu forwarded the letter to Lord Chen Shouyang of the Imperial Medical Bureau. ”

"The girl is the one in Anfang, Bianjing Town?" Chen Shizi was shocked, Master Li's name was still what he heard from his peers when he took the exam in Bianliang, it is said that this Master Li lived in the Genyue built for him on the previous pilgrimage, like an emperor's confinement, ordinary people can't see the face of this peerless demon concubine at all, how can he travel hundreds of miles to find himself such a poor sour literati today?

"Mr. Chen actually knows the slave family, and I hope that Mr. Chen will not mind the origin of the slave family's prostitution, and will forward the letter to Mr. Chen as soon as possible. Although Master Li's words were respectful, her expression was neither humble nor arrogant, and she couldn't see that she was a singer in the workshop for fun.

"The teacher and the girl are too modest, and the contemptible person will do it when she goes home tonight. I don't know what else the girl has to say. "Joke, who dares to treat Master Li as a prostitute? Although the first emperor is a Zen position, the name of the Taoist Monarch Sect Master, and he is bent on asking for immortals, but I heard that the rewards given to Master Li are still continuous, who dares not to take her in his eyes.

"Don't bother Mr., the slave family is about to leave for Bianliang. The master bowed, turned around, and walked towards a parked carriage behind him.

"The girl walks slowly. ”

Chen Shizi pinched a handful of sweat in his heart, and said that this companion is like a tiger, and this woman who accompanies the king is not easy. He was about to take a breath and prepare to put away the letter and go back to the academy to continue theorizing with Kong Shen, the old monster, when Kong Shen rushed towards him in a rage.

"Xiao Chen, Xiao Chen, quick, the new official of that Laoshzi is looking for you. Kong Shen held a flax baked cake in his hand, and his mouth was full of food, and he said to Shizi while chewing.

"You're a dog, you're all over the place. Shi Zi slapped his clothes with disgust and said, "What are you talking about, who is looking for me?"

"Hey, it's just that little doll who was demoted from Bianliang, what is Li Bangyan's name. Kong Shen said that everyone looked like they didn't care, Li Bangyan was also under one person in Tokyo back then, and when he was above 10,000 people, he came to him, and he was no different from the uncle who sold him baked cakes just now.

"You almost delayed a big event!" Shi Zi didn't care about being sprayed by Kong Shen, and hurriedly ran back to the academy, ready to change into bright clothes, freshen up, and go to meet the new parents of Dengzhou City.

Just when Chen and Kong were playing nonsense at the gate, Mu Hibiscus was strolling around the landlord in the study, and he was having fun. The eldest brother has only been in Huazhou Academy for a year, and he doesn't come much, but it is Brother Nakong, who will play with her every time she comes. It's just that the first few times I came here, I put down the food box and hurried back to sit in the hall, and today with Chen Shijing, I can finally relax.

"Hey, big brother, there are such treasures planted here. Mu Hibiscus touched and looked in the huge study, and suddenly found a pot of green plants in the corner, and in the indigo blue porcelain pot, there was a ginseng growing lushly. Under the diamond-shaped green leaves, there are a few red ginseng seeds hanging sporadically.

"Wow, I used to follow my father to the mountains to pick ginseng, this is the first time I've seen this kind of ginseng at home!" Mu Hibiscus was happy to see the hunter, and immediately touched the branches and leaves of the ginseng with his hand. Suddenly, her eyes lit up, and a small amount of red silk was tied from her bun.

Kong Shen, who wiped his mouth clean after eating the baked cakes, came in and saw such a scene.

A petite girl, half-squatting, tied a ten-son knot on the leaf tip of ginseng with a foot of red silk. Then he stood up contentedly, and shook his neck gently, and his dark hair fluttered wildly on the girl's shoulders.
