Li Ran couldn't help but nodded when he heard what Yan Yan said, and replied:
"Ziyou said that's true. If that's the case, then let them find a more secluded place alone in the apricot grove. The apricot grove is also big enough for them to practice here."
"By the way, Ziyou, I remember that you are also from Wu, right? Since these talented people are all from Yue, it is perfect for you to teach these people. Ziyou needs to be more attentive.
Among these talented people, there may be Empress Lu Gong!"
Yan Yan obeyed the order and couldn't help being surprised.
After all, the intermarriage between the mighty Lu State and the Yue State far to the southeast was unprecedented.
Lu State is the most authentic state with the surname Ji. After Duke Zhou, it stands to reason that it would be politically correct to intermarry with the Jiang surname of Qi State for a long time.
But to this day, due to Yang Hu's disturbance, Lu and Qi have basically turned against each other, so for the time being, it is impossible to maintain an intermarriage relationship with Qi with the surname Jiang.
Therefore, the State of Lu could only settle for the next best thing, and actually found an intermarriage with the Si surname of the State of Yue, who was far away.
When Yan Yan heard this, he was surprised at first, but he immediately understood the key point. After bowing and bowing, he resigned and left.
…
A few days later, while Li Ran was compiling "Spring and Autumn" in the apricot forest, he heard from the other side of the apricot forest the sound of women playing and playing, and sometimes the sound of scolding.
Li Ran couldn't help but sneer, but he didn't take it seriously. He knew that it was indeed not easy for Yan Yan to teach these barbarian women.
When the sound gradually faded away, Li Ran knew that Yan Yan had finished his class today.
Out of curiosity, he wanted to go and say hello and take a look at the progress over there.
However, when Li Ran saw Yan Yan, he immediately discovered that Yan Yan had his hair disheveled and looked very embarrassed.
Li Ran quickly stepped forward and asked with a smile:
"Hey, what's going on with Ziyou? Why didn't you teach these Yue girls well, but instead taught them to wear their hair loose?"
When Yan Yan saw that it was Li Ran who came in person, he couldn't help being shocked. He quickly put on his crown and stepped forward to bow:
"Oh! Sir, save me, sir, please save me!"
Li Ran saw this and smiled again:
"Why are you so alarmed, Ziyou? Tell me slowly."
I only heard Yan Yan sigh and say:
"Hey, these Yue girls are simply barbaric and uncultured! One of them, in particular, is particularly outrageous! This woman is fierce. Not only does she refuse to obey discipline, but she also repeatedly encourages others to go against me! It is simply intolerable!
"
While listening, Li Ran looked around and found that there was a square of silk stretched out on a piece of eucalyptus slip, and a picture was painted on the silk.
In fact, it is more like a sword move than a painting.
Li Ran picked up the painting, looked at the hair on Yan Yan's head, and couldn't help laughing:
"Haha, I'm afraid it's this girl, right?!"
Yan Yan stepped forward to take a look and couldn't help shouting:
"That's right! That's this girl! She never turns her face during class, so she's really easy to recognize!"
Li Ran continued to reply:
"Haha, it's normal for Yue people to be fierce and lack etiquette. Zi You still needs to be like his master Kong Zhongni, who is tireless in teaching others."
Then, Li Ran looked at the silk in his hand.
"I never thought that this Yue woman could actually have some swordsmanship."
Although Li Ran does not know martial arts, Sun Wu has followed him for many years. He naturally knows some sword moves.
At this time, only Yan Yan continued to add:
"Yes, this woman used the sword move in the painting to knock off the hair crown from the disciple's head!"
"Hey... if such a naughty girl is really allowed to accompany the king in the palace of Lu State, hey... I can't even imagine it!"
After saying this, he couldn't help but let out another long sigh.
But Li Ran just smiled and said:
"Haha, it seems that such a fierce woman will not be able to enter the palace. When the time comes, all she has to do is explain the whole story to the master of ceremonies from the Yue Kingdom and return according to the courtesy."
Yan Yan nodded repeatedly to show his agreement.
Later, Li Ran asked again:
"By the way, where are these Yue girls now? Why can't they be found in the apricot forest?"
Yan Yan replied:
"Hey... today is the day of worshiping the moon, and the capital is very lively. I don't know where these Yue girls got the news. They are probably strolling around the capital at the moment."
While the two of them were talking there, suddenly, another loud shout came from outside:
"My lord! My lord!"
The person who came was actually Chu Dang, and he looked panicked.
When Chu Dang was close to Li Ran, he stopped, put his hands on his hips, and breathed heavily:
"Madam...Madam..."
When Li Ran heard Chu Tang call out the word "Madam", his eyes suddenly lit up and he asked eagerly:
"How is Madam?! How is Madam?"
When Chu Dang finally caught his breath, he spoke:
"Madam...Madam, she is alive!"
When Li Ran heard this, he felt as if he had been struck by thunder. He was so shocked that he stood there blankly, unable to move.
"Lord! Come on...go and see!"
Chu Dang called him three times in a row, which made Li Ran calm down.
"Yes... go and see... go and see Le'er."
Therefore, Li Ran immediately became impatient and followed Chu Dang all the way to Qufu City.
Today is the day to worship the moon, so the city of Qufu is extremely lively. However, these scenes did not stop Li Ran.
Under Chu Dang's guidance, Li Ran and the other three came to the outskirts of a crowd.
I could only hear those seven aunts and eight aunts pointing at one person:
"Oh! Whose girl is this? She doesn't even know how to cover her face when she goes out on the street. She's not ashamed at all!"
"Yes, yes, not only do you not know the slightest bit of etiquette, but you also carry a murder weapon on the street, and you don't know where it came from!"
"Not only that, but this girl also beats people! She's very vicious!"
Those people were shouting in all directions, but the woman was not to be outdone. She actually spoke to them directly in Lu dialect, which was not very authentic:
"Girl, I won't change my name in business or my surname in office. I am the daughter of the Gong'er family of Yue State! My name only has the character '月'! Don't get me wrong, I am from Yue State! I am not as pedantic as you Lu people!"
"
"This is my girl's sword, so what if I wear it on my body? Is it hindering you?"
"Also, make no mistake! It was you who provoked me first, and then I took action! We need to distinguish the priorities! We need to explain the order!"
At this time, Chu Dang was beside Li Ran and said from the side:
"My Lord, Madam is right in front. But... Madam doesn't know what kind of illness she is suffering from, but she suddenly seems to be a different person. Her temper is very similar to mine!"
