Yueling, the capital of Ye Kingdom.

One of the most beautiful places for frontier warriors, because they paid their lives and blood to defend this place, and to defend it from being invaded and harassed by foreign enemies.

For many years, I don't know how many soldiers have died on the border battlefield because of this belief, and there is not even a person to collect the corpses.

The city is prosperous, with small wine shops and teahouses abounding, and it is even more lively at night.

You can see scholars or followers everywhere, why did they come?

Of course not for the sake of learning.

The Mingwu Empire does not have the rule of male superiority and inferiority of women, so there are many women who travel at night, whether it is a maid or a young lady, whether it is a lady or a small jasper, they are also dressed up beautifully on the street, shuttling through the crowd, to see if they can fall in love with anyone at first sight.

Of course, no matter what dynasty you are in, no matter what era, no matter where you are, you have to have money.

If people have no money, even if they are famous, they are useless.

And at the door of a liquor store in the city, an old man with a withered face was carried out of the liquor store by four men and thrown on the street.

Looking at the old man's dejected appearance, many passers-by on the street stopped to see what was going on.

The old man was in rags, just like an old beggar, and there was a strong and unpleasant smell of alcohol on his body, and many people couldn't help but cover their mouths and noses in disgust.

The old man rolled around the ground, then got up, swallowed his spit, and said, "Wine, I want wine......

"Drink, okay, do you have any money?"

"Yes, there is money......"

The old man sat on the ground, rummaging through his pockets, then raised his head and asked the little er, "Can you take credit?"

"You don't have money to drink an egg?"

A junior rolled his eyes and said, "Hurry up and get away." ”

Seeing that the old man didn't leave, the shopkeeper was not happy, and stepped forward and said, "What's the matter, you still don't leave here?"

The old man looked stubborn, tightened his clothes and lay directly on the ground, turned his back to the shopkeeper and said: "Wine, give me wine and I'll leave, if there is no wine, I'll sit here and not leave." ”

"Oh, you old scoundrel, are you really afraid to hit you?"

The shopkeeper looked at the passers-by around him: "The big guy gives a comment, this old guy has been eating and drinking for nothing for three years in our store with a jade pendant, the old shopkeeper before is kind-hearted and doesn't want to deal with him in general, and now this shopkeeper has changed, he is better or not leaving, isn't this a scoundrel?"

"This old man is also quite interesting, he wants to drink without money?"

"At first glance, he looks like an old drunkard, and he is still drinking until his wife and children are gone. ”

"That is, why is such a person still alive, it is better to be alive than dead. ”

The passers-by around pointed at the old man one by one, and the old man still sat there as if he hadn't heard anything.

"I don't think I'll say a word, I think this one is a little familiar. ”

A man who obviously looked like a scholar who had studied for a few years looked at the old man twice, frowned, and said, "Do you think that this person seems to be a little familiar?" ”

"Not to mention, I look a little familiar. ”

"Looking familiar, the old man doesn't know you. ”

The old man stood up from the ground, patted the dust on his body, looked at the book in the young man's hand, and said: "Don't read these things in the future, what is written in them is nothing more than some. ”

As soon as he heard this, another gentleman next to him was not happy, glared at the old man and said, "What do you old beggar know, this is a book written by Li Puyi, the imperial prince, how can a person like you slander?"

"That's what it's called a book?"

The old man sneered with disdain: "It's not as good as my apprentice, the children's songs written when he was eight years old make sense, and with your talent and qualifications, even if the old man explains the truth in the book to you word by word, it is nothing more than playing the piano to the cow." ”

Without waiting for the two scholars to refute, the old man continued: "But no matter how nonsense this book is, Li Puyi is also a bit of a good person in governing the internal affairs of a country, and the old man has already told him in his early years, and his bells and whistles are useless, so this book is here." ”

It's just that Li Puyi only has half a bucket of water for writing a book after all, dangling around, only some small splashes splashed out of the bucket, the funny thing is that outsiders can't see the inside of the book, only these splashes are the only little beauty left. ”

Hearing this, the two scholars were obviously shocked.

Who is this old man, he can still talk to Li Puyi, and listening to the meaning of this person's words, it seems that Li Puyi's book was written under his guidance.

But the reason why these two scholars were shocked was because these two people saw that the old man was familiar and did not dare to say anything disrespectful to the old man.

But the people around don't care so much.

Hearing this old man speak like this, someone immediately said disdainfully: "This old man, he is not young, but his face is still so thick, he is really shameless." ”

"Mrs. Li is the teacher of Wang Sun Gongzi, just rely on you, can you still talk to others?"

"That's it, I don't even make drafts of bragging, it's really a wonder in the world, and your apprentice can write better than Mrs. Li at the age of eight, why don't you go to heaven?"

Hearing these ridicules, the old man didn't care, and said, "Don't say it, my apprentice's literary talent is indeed much better than that old guy Li Puyi." ”

The little second couldn't stand it anymore, and looked at the old man with a sneering face and said, "You old thing, you still blow, are you endless?"

"This is really not blowing, I don't believe that you can ask Li Puyi when you have the opportunity, don't say anything else, just on the word, is there anything he is not convinced?

The old man said proudly: "My apprentice entered my sect at the age of seven, and he became a teacher at the age ......of thirteen."

The little second raised his eyebrows and mocked: "Just by you, there can still be apprentices, don't blow it." ”

The old man smiled and said, "Hehe, don't believe it, the stupid people who begged the old man to be an apprentice back then can be lined up from Yueling all the way to Huling Pass." ”

Listening to the old man's blowing, which obviously affected the business of the wine shop, Xiao Er waved his hand and said: "Okay, okay, the big guys are all scattered, don't listen to this crazy old man's bragging." ”

"That's it, this old man is also very good at kung fu, and he still learns from him, can he learn an egg?"

The old man looked up at the sky, smiled lonely and said, "Yes, I can learn an egg with me, his problem, I have thought about it for twelve years, but I haven't figured it out." ”

He was also proud, he could compose poems at the age of eight, he could write lyrics at the age of ten, he traveled the world at the age of eighteen, and wrote countless poems in his life.

At the age of twenty-six, he returned from traveling and opened a school in his hometown, and taught countless disciples in his life, among his disciples, some are alive, and some have long since died, but the person who really makes him linger is only one person, a disciple who was accepted at the most proud time of his life.

And the reason that made him haunted was a question that the disciple asked him at the beginning.

The disciple asked, "Should the king be lighter than the people, or should the people be lighter than the king?" If the people are lighter than the king, what is the use of the country? What is the use of the king?"

It's such a simple sentence, but it really makes him think about it for twelve years and can't figure it out.

The king is the lord of a country, but the holder of the country is not only the king, the foundation of the country is the people, there is no small family without the people, and there is no country without a small family.

This truth seems superficial, but it makes the old pedant unable to think of an answer.

"Old man, there is no money in the sky, why are you watching the sky?"

Just as the old man was looking at the sky, he suddenly heard a hanging man with a slightly serious voice.

The old man turned his head to look at the voice, and saw a boy in a white costume standing in the crowd, looking at him with a smile.

"Oh, how do you kid know I'm here?"

"It's not easy to find you?"

The white-clothed boy smiled and said, "You only need to search all the restaurants in Yueling, and you will definitely be able to find you, how do you think you are exchanging the jade pendant I gave you for wine and drinking?"

"It's all outside the body, it's better to change some wine to drink. ”

The old man didn't have the slightest expression of guilt after exchanging the things given by his friends for these useless things, but took it for granted.

"Okay, you old man is a scoundrel too. ”

"Aren't you the same?"

"Didn't you learn that yet?"

The two seemed to completely ignore the people around them, and they were talking and laughing.

In the end, the white-clothed boy walked to the old man's approach, and he didn't dislike the dirty old man, so he grabbed the old man's shoulders and said, "Old man, let me tell you, today my mother-in-law went to the city to find an old guy surnamed Tong and let him come to my house to teach my daughter, guess what?"

"What's wrong?"

The old man raised his eyebrows and said, "Could it be that the old guy doesn't want to go?"

"Isn't it, and he said a lot of things so unashamedly that I was so angry that I wanted to lift the roof of his house. ”

Brother Gongzi had a signature cynical smile on his face, and said: "But forget it when you think about it, it's that old man who doesn't have the eyesight to see, since he doesn't want to be my daughter's teacher, naturally there are still people who are willing, and if I know about this, I can't let my mother-in-law go." ”

"Why?"

The old man asked.

"Which garlic is he counting as onions?"

The boy in white rolled his eyes and said, "Just by him, he is also worthy of being my daughter's teacher?"

"In this world, the only person who can be my daughter's teacher is you, the old man, so I came to you to be a teacher for my daughter. ”

"Cut, I'm not going. ”

The old man rolled his eyes and said, "Your family is a group of little troublemakers, and the old man is too lazy to joke with you little guys." ”

"Hey, that's what you said......"

Brother Gongzi seemed to have eaten the old man, and said, "I'll go home and ask my mother-in-law to pour out the two jars of liquor that she just brought back from the northwest." ”

"What did you just say?"

"Poured the wine. ”

"No, it's the previous sentence. ”

"So I came to you to be my daughter's teacher?"

"Go ......"
