Tang Yuanyuan's face turned red and said, "The little brother was destined to be a robber, and he was captured by the sand thieves not long ago...... Well, let's just say that those sand thieves, although they were once very prosperous, caused disaster in all directions, and even the government did not take advantage of them, but they lived an extra day every day as if they had earned a day, and I don't know when it would be difficult to save the head of the neck. Fortunately, after the Qing soldiers entered the customs, the leading brother was able to understand the general situation, accept persuasion, and under the guidance of Lord Cao, he was incorporated into the army, even if his salary was not high, he could make a decent living in the future, and he could live an upright life in the future. I think, for them, how is this different from a new life? Yes, those variables in the world, you are a person in the martial arts, you should know better than me. ”

Chu Menglin couldn't help but laugh and said, "Actually, I'm also a robber, and the reason why I drove away those who got in the way was because I didn't want to share the money with them, do you believe it?"

Tang Yuanyuan's face turned white, and he immediately took a few steps back. Chu Menglin said angrily: "You don't want to think about it, how can there be such a brainless robber, knowing that you are penniless, and still willing to sacrifice your blood to save you?" Hmph, you just deliberately scolded me for being stupid, I saved you, and you actually took revenge?" I wanted to wait for him to change his words and say "I don't believe it", and then he could still be accused of being "treacherous by nature, and I don't even believe the words of the benefactor who saved my life", but after thinking about it, Tang Yuan thought about it and said: "It's me who is suspicious and misunderstood, don't blame the eldest brother." The younger brother will take the first step, and I don't know where the eldest brother wants to go?"

Chu Menglin was smiling happily, listening to his inquiry, she suddenly felt a strong desolation, as if everyone else had a place to go, and she was alone and adrift. Reluctantly, he couldn't bear the bitterness in his heart, and said, "Of course I will also walk with you, and I will take care of you all the way." Alas, it's all because you're stupid and powerless, so people will say, 'useless is a scholar', and you can lose all the faces of our readers." ”

Tang Yuanyuan laughed dryly a few times, Chu Menglin pretended to be serious, and said: "People are good at being bullied, and horses are good at being ridden, so it's good, look at how talented you are......" Tang Yuanyuan hurriedly said: "Big brother is also so handsome." ”

Chu Menglin was displeased when she heard him so obviously perfunctory, and said, "I don't need you to praise me, I can be regarded as an ugly bastard...... Phew, where am I ugly? In short, even if I look ugly, I can still be your master, but the first condition for me to accept apprentices is to find someone who looks good. Tang said remotely: "I don't want to learn martial arts, and I can't worship you as a teacher." The rule of the saint is also the rule of the world, first Wende and then force, you are strong in martial arts, suppressing people with force, others are obedient to you on the surface, and they are all cursing behind your back, which is meaningless. ”

Chu Menglin said in her heart: "When you worship the old thief of Kongtong as your teacher, but you are diligent and brainless, why don't you worship me? Could it be that I look uglier than the old thief?" This is all wishful thinking on her part, but it seems that the apprentice is all based on the beauty and ugliness of his appearance. said angrily: "Then when you become a big official and have a lot of power, others still don't say that you use your power to oppress people, obey on the surface, and curse behind your back, does it make sense?"

Tang Yuan was stunned for a moment, and hesitated: "This ...... That also makes sense, it's better to ...... I don't want to be an official anymore, I want to find a beautiful place to live in seclusion for the rest of my life, detached from the world, and have nothing to do. Chu Menglin said: "Your grandmother is frugal and frugal to support you, if you can't get the top spot in the exam as she wishes and live up to her expectations, you will be the first unfilial son in the world." Baide takes 'filial piety' first, and then knows that etiquette, righteousness and shame, if you don't sweep a house, how can you sweep the world?"

Tang said remotely: "This ...... This also makes sense, but it is really a dilemma...... With that, I am a poet, replacing the sword with a pen, singing about the injustices in the world for the people, warning the world, and resuming the future generations to take it as a warning. ”

Chu Menglin said: "What's so good about being a poet? Those poets who have left their names in history are all degraded and relocated at every turn, and they are depressed all the year round, and they live a depressed life all their lives. Tang Yuanyuan said: "I don't think so, it's because the traitors in the court are in charge, and the officialdom is dark." The emperor's relatives are far away, so that a group of loyal consciences have strong ambitions, and they have no way to serve the country. Among them, there are many famous sentences that have endured through the ages, and this has made a generation of famous poets. ”

Chu Menglin said: "According to what you said, although Zhongliang can stay for a hundred years, he was completely excluded during his lifetime, depressed and unwilling, and more were framed and could not die well. The traitorous ministers are different, but they need to make a few slanderous words in front of the emperor to seek their own interests, and hundreds of officials compete to offer good things, and taste the glory and favor all over the world. It's really important to enjoy happiness in life, and to be ignorant and unconscious after death, and to be criticized by others, I can't hear it anyway. ”

Tang Yuanyuan said: "As a courtier, you should be loyal to your duty, but the king of the world, and win the name before and after his death, but he can ......" said this, because he thought that the quoted poems were in conflict with his own views, and it was difficult to rely on them. Chu Menglin smiled proudly and said, "You continue to say it, why don't you say it?"

Tang Yuanyuan sighed: "I can't force you to convince you because of the difference in political views, but your opinion is ...... It's too extreme...... No, it's not right anyway, just tell me in private, and when it comes to answering the questionnaire, you must not write like this. Chu Menglin smiled: "Then you say, how should I answer?"

Tang Yuanyuan thought to himself: "I haven't figured out this problem yet, if I tell her casually, wouldn't it be a mistake for people's children? Then he said: "Let me take a moment to think about it, and I will definitely give you the answer before the exam." Swallowed a mouthful of saliva and said, "The little brother is really confused, he has been talking for a long time, and he still doesn't know the name of the eldest brother." ”

Chu Menglin said: "I'...... It is called Chu Yu below. Tang said remotely: "Okay, good name." Yu, the big one of the elephants, admires for a long time. The younger brother's name is Tang Yuanyuan. Chu Menglin said in her heart: "You and I see the etiquette of the rivers and lakes? Just you, two nerds who don't hear anything outside the window, may not even have heard of the name of the Shadow Sect, a fictional character, you have the ability to look up to me, hum, come and perfunctory me." He also said casually: "Look up for a long time." Without further ado, this is on the road. ”

After the long journey, Chu Menglin secretly sighed that she chose the wrong companion, and she was almost to the point of crying without tears. Every time he wants to make a few jokes to tease him, it is because he is honest and simple, and he can't hear malicious intent on those insinuating ridicule, but a respectful and serious reply. In this way, Chu Menglin didn't have the fun of bickering, and often made him angry half to death.

In addition, for her "partial political opinions", Tang Yuanhua spent more than "a little", meditating hard every day, and just had some new experiences, all of which came to educate her by quoting scriptures, determined to ask her to "go to the right path". Chu Menglin argued with him for a few words at first, and then couldn't stand the continuous sage words coming out of his mouth, most of them didn't understand, and he didn't want to show his ignorance, so he had to prevaricate, pretending to agree with Tang Yuan's point of view, and repeating it sentence by sentence with him, before it was over, and he was exhausted.

When she was walking on the street, she was just about to play tricks on passers-by, but Tang Yuanyuan was always on the side to persuade her, but her attitude was extremely resolute, which made her boring every day unbearable, and she almost wanted to go crazy.

On the first night of staying at the inn, the boss asked, "How many rooms do the two guest officers want?" Chu Menglin was shocked, a red tide appeared on her face, and she said angrily: "What are you talking about? How can one room work?" Tang said remotely: "It's enough, the two of them don't need much space, and the younger brother is still not proficient in Confucianism and Taoism, and he is about to ask the eldest brother for advice." Silver is not a windfall, no matter when and where, if it can be saved, it should be saved, otherwise it is tantamount to a felony. ”

Chu Menglin said that he was not, and thought: "He didn't know that I was a daughter, so he dared to make a mistake." "The heart is a little wider, and there is no reason to refuse, only a temporary compromise. The two of them went upstairs to the Tianzi room, the room was cleaned, and Chu Menglin said again: "This ...... Why is there only one bed?" Tang said remotely: "In one room, how many beds does the eldest brother want?"

Chu Menglin was shy and anxious, and said, "No! I'll sleep in the bed, you...... You're laying on the floor! I'm going to sleep so quietly that I'm always turning my head for fear of kicking you. Tang Yuanyuan smiled: "It's okay, in fact, the younger brother's sleeping habits are not very good, sometimes he will endorse loudly in his dreams, and he is worried about making noise with the eldest brother, but this time it will not interfere with each other." ”

Chu Menglin said: "That's not possible! I'm ...... I am a chivalrous man who is used to taking the sky as the cover and the earth as the house, and if there is a person lying around, I will feel uncomfortable and sleep unsteadily. ”

Tang Yuan was busy with things and said, "Big brother, don't be angry, the younger brother just lays the floor." He pulled over several layers of blankets and spread them on the floor. Chu Menglin felt that she was overly sensitive and funny, and said in her heart: "I was really bitten by a snake once, and I was afraid of the well rope for ten years." This nerd is so honest, his mind is full of the way of Confucius and Mencius, not to mention that he doesn't know my identity, even if I change into women's clothes and come forward, he has to be ashamed and blush, and retreat three feet away...... Wow, why am I going to go over there?"

Tang Yuanyuan overheard her spit on the ground, thinking that he had done something wrong again, so he hurriedly stopped his movements, raised his head and looked at her in a daze. Chu Menglin was embarrassed for a while, coughed, and covered up: "The filthy qi in the chest should be dissipated from the body in time." Stagnation in the middle, resulting in the reversal of true qi and poor blood flow, is a great taboo for those who practice martial arts. Tang Yuan didn't seem to understand, and his eyes were still fixed on her face. Chu Menglin stared at him very much, and said, "What are you looking at, how have you never seen a man?" and pushed him back.

After a few more days, I finally arrived in the capital, and there was still some time before the main hall of the palace examination began. Tang Yuanyuan came again to "review the old and learn the new", Chu Menglin couldn't entangle him, and said: "I didn't bring those heavy ancient books, but I have silver, everything is fine, I will take you to the market to find it." Tang Yuanyuan said happily: "Thank you, big brother." ”

He really deserved the title of "nerd" that Chu Menglin gave him, and as soon as he arrived at the book market, the soles of his feet immediately took root, and he couldn't take a step. Chu Menglin was happy, and after agreeing on the meeting place, she stopped in front of the rouge gouache stall alone, although she was on the way to escape, the girl's nature of loving to dress up did not change at all. The two daughters of rich families on the side saw that he was handsome, and they were busy scratching their heads and making all kinds of charming gestures, trying to attract him a little sideways. These women have been trapped in the boudoir for many years and never show their heads, and today they finally went out together, and they really picked up a rare opportunity.

Chu Menglin secretly examined the bodies of several people, and on a whim, she turned around and pretended to be kind, pulled out a charming smile, and said: "The two girls are so familiar, they seem to have seen them somewhere, but they can't remember it for a while." Pacing in front of one of the women in pink, he said, "I think Miss is beautiful, but she is not very well dressed. Forgive you for the humble opinion below, your makeup should be elegant, and the color of your clothes is too bright, and the two conflict with each other, but also hide your natural beauty. Then he said to another woman in green: "Your face is relatively small, but your forehead and cheeks are covered with bangs too much, not to mention messy, it makes people feel a little overwhelmed." For example, if the branches of a tree are so intertwined that you don't have time to admire the greenery of a tree just by looking at the scraps. Circling around the second daughter's body a few times, he commented on the matter, and said: "This son doesn't dare to say that he is refining in this way, and he has accumulated a lot of experience." If the young lady does not dislike it, can you let me come down and dress you up? If not, let the young lady dispose of it. ”
