Entering the house, I saw two jars of wine, a plate of dried bamboo shoots and green beans, a plate of dried tofu, and two bowls of cold white rice placed on a square table. Xiao Ming was squatting aside to fan the charcoal stove, which was burning
The kettle, the furnishings in the room were simple, the bedding on the wooden bed was very old, the corners of the two rattan boxes were worn, the lids of the boxes were open, and there were books inside.
Gu Yanwu asked Liu Ziguang to sit down, turned around and saw that Xiao Ming was already a little sleepy, and said: "Xiao Ming, you have eaten early and have a rest." Xiao Mingnuo said, brought the cold white rice, washed it with hot water in the iron pot, and sprinkled some
Salt Particles squatted aside and ate it. Mr. Gu personally opened the mud seal of the wine jar, poured the rice wine into a small copper pot, put it on the stove to stew, and said to Liu Ziguang: "The wine and food are vulgar, so I hope Haihan will do it."
"
Liu Ziguang said: "By the way, Liu is from a poor background, so why would he care about this? It's just that this rice wine is missing some seasonings." Gu Yanwu heard this and laughed and said: "Master Hou is also a good drinker. Add rice wine and plum blossoms."
Rock sugar tastes best when heated on the stove, but these two good things are very rare, so we can only make do with it."
Liu Ziguang said: "Liu's place has been prepared for Mr. Liu." As he said this, he took out a paper bag from his arms, which contained rock sugar and plum blossoms. Gu Yanwu was overjoyed when he saw it, and quickly took it and put it into the copper pot. His nose wrinkled again.
After a few seconds, he asked: "What other good dishes are there?" Liu Ziguang said: "There is also a pack of soy sauce beef, but I didn't dare to take it out because I was afraid that my husband would blame me."
Gu Yanwu said: "It doesn't matter, the wine and meat have passed through the intestines, and the Buddha is sitting in the heart. As long as there is Buddha in the heart, there is no need to adhere to those vulgar etiquette." Liu Ziguang took out a large bag of soy sauce beef in his arms and spread it on the table. This is the capital city.
The excellent beef from Sanzhenzhai was cut into very thin slices, and the smell was so fragrant that Xiao Ming was so greedy that he couldn't help but make the sound of swallowing saliva. Gu Yanwu laughed loudly, picked up some beef with chopsticks, and put it in Xiao Ming's bowl.
Inside, he turned to Liu Ziguang and said, "It's funny."
What kind of scholar was this? He was just a kind old grandfather. Liu Ziguang found it very interesting and helped arrange the plates and bowls. He poured the hot wine into small black pottery bowls and the two of them drank.
Now that Peng Jinrong has invited Mr. Gu out of the mountain, there is no need to talk nonsense. All that is needed is communication and understanding. Liu Ziguang wants to run the academy and invites Gu Yanwu to be the mountain chief. This meeting is between the school director and the principal.
During the conversation, although Gu Yanwu was a great Confucian, he was not scholarly, but very free and easy. He probably traveled a lot to famous mountains and rivers, and his actions were full of pride. He knew that Liu Ziguang was a military commander and had little knowledge, so he did not talk to him about advanced topics.
Things, just talking about the national economy and people's livelihood and major issues in the world are common topics in teahouses and restaurants, but what Liu Ziguang said opened Gu Yanwu's eyes from time to time, from astrology to geography, from the situation in the northwest to the situation in the South China Sea, from the exchange of copper coins and silver ingots
When it comes to the buying and selling of bank stocks, every topic can provide insightful insights, and the sharp words often hit the mark. After chatting for a while, Gu Yanwu was already impressed by this famous martial artist.
"Master Hou said that the world is a round ball? Doesn't that mean that the people on the back of the ball will be upside down?" Gu Yanwu asked.
"Of course not. This is called universal gravitation. It's too complicated. I'll tell you slowly when I have time." Liu Ziguang raised the wine bowl and said. The two small jars of wine were almost finished. Liu Ziguang had successfully deceived Gu Yanwu. The rice wine was
Add plum rock sugar to the toy and heat it up. After drinking it, you feel warm in your stomach, but you are not drunk. When the two of them were drinking, the jar was empty. This was really a terrible sight. Gu Yanwu got up and opened the window to buy wine, but
I saw snowflakes floating outside the door. The late winter apricot snow was swirling and swirling in the dark night and under the dim light of the oil lamp, and melted as soon as it hit the ground, but it was extremely beautiful.
"Green ants' new fermented wine, small red clay stove.
It's snowing in the evening, how can I drink a cup of water?" Liu Ziguang suddenly recited a poem in a terse manner, which shocked Gu Yanwu even more. Although it was not a poem he composed impromptu, he could recite a poem to make fun of the situation. For a person
It is not easy for an illiterate person. Seeing that Gu Yanwu was going to buy wine, Liu Ziguang advised: "The wine shops are all closed in the middle of the night. I have prepared a bottle of wine, just because the old gentleman is not used to it." He walked to the door and walked from the door.
He picked up a big gourd by the door and said, "This is the Northern Liquor Burning Knife. How about some?"
Gu Yanwu laughed loudly: "Very good! This thing is very good!" He is a good drinker, but rice wine is popular in the south, and hard liquor is hard to buy, so he was not prepared. It is snowing tonight, and drinking rice wine will be a bit unlucky.
, it’s still a pleasure to drink northern spirits and beef.
At this time, Xiao Ming had finished eating his rice and was lying down. General Gu Yan tucked Xiao Ming's clothes tightly and asked Liu Ziguang to move the small table and stove to the eaves outside the door. He looked at the falling snowflakes and warmed up the strong wine.
Liu Ziguang took advantage of the opportunity to tell some inspirational stories about his time as a slave and his later magnificent achievements in defeating the Qing Dynasty. This was in line with Gu Yanwu's famous saying, "Every man is responsible for the rise and fall of the world." Hearing the touching stories, the old man couldn't help sighing, and he paid tribute continuously.
Liu Ziguang made several bowls.
"As the saying goes, a hero should never ask where he came from. Lord Marquis achieved this unparalleled feat as a slave, which really puts our generation of scholars to shame." Gu Yanwu said.
"No, no, it's just an ordinary man's bravery. How can I, sir, raise his arms? The eternal famous saying that every man is responsible for the rise and fall of the world has inspired me, millions of Chinese, to fight for the country and the nation. In terms of merit, my husband is better." Liu Ziguang's words indeed came from his heart.
In his heart, Gu Yanwu was very impressed by what he heard and had a better impression of Liu Ziguang.
Liu Ziguang changed the subject, and then said: "Saving the country by military men can only solve a temporary emergency. The key is to rely on literati to awaken the conscience of the people. When Beijing fell, there were not a few officials who surrendered voluntarily. Where was the national integrity?
I think there is something wrong with education, so I want to ask Mr. Ming to come out and educate the young people of Ming Dynasty to be tougher. I am a rough man and can't help much. I can only provide some money so that poor students can study and also have a good education.
To study well and become a talented person, this important task must be shouldered by your husband."
Gu Yanwu said: "My wife has already introduced this. Originally, the little old man thought that the Marquis was just seeking fame, so he refused in every possible way. Even when he came to Beijing this time, he wanted to just leave in a perfunctory way. He never expected that the Marquis was
So righteous
, it seems that the little old man is narrow-minded, alas, please accept the little old man's respect!"
Gu Yanwu was obviously drunk and actually wanted to kneel down to Liu Ziguang. How could Liu Ziguang dare to agree and refuse to obey? Gu Yanwu had no choice but to propose a sworn marriage to Liu Ziguang. This time Liu Ziguang did not refuse. The two of them stood here facing the snowflakes in the sky.
In the monastery of Dabaoen Temple, they kowtowed to the sky and formed brothers with different surnames. After worshiping, Gu Yanwu fell down and fell asleep, snoring loudly.
Liu Ziguang carried the old man into the house alone, took off his shoes and put them on the bed. He opened the quilt and covered it. He saw that the quilt was a little thin. He pressed his tiger skin cloak on the quilt and carried the stove into the house. He was afraid of causing any trouble.
Gas poisoning. Thinking about it, he found it funny. He fooled Gu Yanwu into becoming a sworn brother. This relationship is considered ironclad. He can rest assured about the affairs of the academy in the future. It can be regarded as a great public relations victory. Think about it.
He was so happy that he picked up the jug and wanted to have a drink. After a while, he realized that the jug was empty. He thought to himself that this old man was really good at drinking. He drank at least two kilograms of rice wine first, and then came back with a kilogram and a half of Shao Daozi. He had a real capacity for drinking.
Yes, the wine is good, the wine is as good as the person, this person is good to deal with. Liu Ziguang gently closed the door and left.
People have already fallen asleep, the snow is still falling, and the snowflakes melt when they fall on the ground, adding a touch of loneliness. It is late at night, and the shadows of the trees are dancing in the silent temple. Liu Ziguang walks slowly alone, feeling a lot in his heart. Things at home
Thinking about it makes me feel troubled. During the day, I went to the palace to meet the emperor and talked about the issue of immigrating to the Song Dynasty. Zhu Youxiao flatly rejected the proposal. Fortunately, Liu Ziguang was quick to think and changed the topic to the distribution of prisoners to the Song Dynasty, and then he reluctantly passed.
However, after the emperor has passed it, it still needs to be reviewed by the cabinet, and there will inevitably be a debate tomorrow.
Alas, what should be done must be done. There must be a road to the mountain. In any case, this age of navigation cannot be missed. He secretly made up his mind to contact familiar officials tomorrow so that he could discuss it in the court discussion.
To support yourself, the other thing is to discuss the establishment of a stock exchange with Hu Yimin of Rishengchang. As for the address of the exchange, let’s set it on Shanghai Road for the time being. After all, there are many businesses there and it is a major international port. It is much more suitable than the capital city.
.
Walking and thinking all the way, I unknowingly arrived at the Moon Gate across the courtyard. A paper umbrella was raised over. It was the guard who had been waiting here for a long time. There was also a Zhike monk wearing a thick monk's robe with a flattering smile on his face.
: "Master Hou, it's snowing. Why don't you just rest in the temple? The fine Zen room will be cleaned for you."
Liu Ziguang said: "Thank you for your kindness, I'd better not disturb you." After saying that, he took the guards and left in the snow. After leaving the gate of Baoen Temple, he hesitated again. Where should I go now? The house was in such chaos that I didn't want to go back. The sky was too dark.
Wan did not want to disturb Zeng Cheng, so he glanced at the guards and asked, "Have you eaten?" The guards said, "Back to the Marquis, the young ones had some tofu rice in the temple."
"Thank you for your hard work, follow me to the Qinhuai River for a drink! Drink until dawn and then go back." As soon as Liu Ziguang said this, the guards immediately cheered. It is already the middle of the night, but some restaurants by the Qinhuai River are
It's open 24 hours a day, and there's always a catering girl waiting for you. It's expensive and the consumption level is very high, so it's not something ordinary people can afford. The Marquis is willing to spend money to treat everyone there, so everyone is naturally happy to accompany them.
