"I don't have any good ideas," Wang Xun said, fiddling with the satin-like braids: "It's just that you, a manly man, can't lose face, but I, a little girl, don't have so many scruples."
"What are you going to do?" Wang Yu asked with wide eyes.
"I'm going to apologize for you."
"Don't be ridiculous. How can it be inappropriate for a girl to go to a man's house?" Wang Yu shook his head and said.
"How could I go to him directly?" Wang Xun shook his head and smiled: "I know his wife..."
"You mean..."
"I didn't expect that Su Xiaomei was actually his fiancée." Wang Xun's beautiful eyes showed a complicated light. When they were in Jiangning, the two talented women had met once, and they were quite sympathetic to each other.
"Yeah..." Wang Yu said with an ugly face: "It's a shame that Old Su also said that she didn't have a husband, which made her father look bad!"
"Perhaps there is something unspeakable." Wang Xun said with some regret: "She is such a perfect woman. It is a pity that she cannot be married to her as my sister-in-law."
"There is no need for a real man to have a wife." Wang Yu snorted and said, "I will definitely marry someone who is better than Su Xiaomei!" After all, he is a sixteen-year-old boy. This sentence exposed the origin of his dislike for Chen Ke.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
There were still three days left before the wedding on August 16th, but the groom, without realizing it, came to the Sichuan Guild Hall on Mahang Street with his two uncles and several officials from the same town... At this time, the Guild Hall was not as big as it was tomorrow.
It was so popular in the Qing Dynasty that it was Chen Ke who suggested that the Qingshen Consortium fund the construction so that scholars and businessmen from Sichuan could live there when they came to Beijing.
Nowadays, the Qingshen Financial Group is rich and powerful, so the Sichuan Guild Hall is naturally grand and grand, with three roads and nine courtyards. There are more than 60 houses and a large garden. In addition to accommodation, there is also a Wenchang Pavilion in the hall.
, dedicated to Emperor Wenchang of Si Wenyun. There is also the Xiangxian Temple, dedicated to the sages of all Sichuan, where fellow villagers gather to worship each other in the first month of every year.
Needless to say, this was all Chen Ke's idea. He transferred all the experience of later guild halls in order to enhance the cohesion of the Shu people.
But today, he was visiting Mr. Wu Ling who lives here as a guest.
After handing in their name slips, Long Changqi's students realized that the big man who came with Er Su was Chen Zhongfang, the man who had made the teacher feel defeated. Although Xiang Ri was proud of him, he could not help but look at him angrily now.
Chen Ke sighed secretly in his heart. Although the Jingyan Competition at Yiying Pavilion made him famous all over the world, this civil war among the Shu people really made the country party members shake their heads... As mentioned before, due to historical reasons, the Song Dynasty's
Sichuan people are outside. They always live together and work together to conquer the world. However, Chen Ke, in the highest lecture hall in the country, let the pride of Shu people, who is also a Meizhou native, be disgraced... If it is not properly remedied afterwards, it will be unavoidable.
Leave a good impression on fellow villagers.
This is a big problem, because Chen Ke knows history. More than ten years later, when the political struggle was at its fiercest, the court was divided into camps based on region. The southerners headed by Ao Xianggong, and the southerners headed by Sima Niu
The northerners and the Sichuan people headed by Da Su were at each other's throats.
It's just that with Su Shi's deceitful political ability, the Shu Party was always the one being pinched. But now that he had appeared, his brother-in-law would naturally have to take a back seat. Chen Ke, the future leader of the Shu Party, would naturally do his part.
Well, it's too early to say this now, but Chen Ke can't let Old Man Long go back like this. Otherwise, his disciples and grandchildren won't spray him to death in front of the villagers?
Therefore, Chen Ke's attitude today was respectful and his temper was docile. Even though Old Man Long's disciples looked at him coldly, he still smiled.
Don’t reach out to hit the smiling person. Besides, Bachelor Chen is now famous all over the world, who dares to turn him away?
So the disciples invited him into the living room and then went to the back to report to the teacher.
Long Changqi had always been in good spirits, but this time it was a big blow to him. He fell ill as soon as he returned from the Jingyan Festival. He just got better, so he insisted on returning to his hometown, not wanting to stay in the capital for one more day.
At this moment, the old gentleman was drinking medicine under the service of his disciples. When he heard that Chen Ke was visiting, he couldn't help but froze.
"How about letting him go?" the disciple asked softly.
"Absurd." Long Changqi came back to his senses and said: "People dare to come, but we dare not see them? Have they grown old like a dog?" After saying this, he stood up shakily and said: "Change clothes!"
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Accompanied by the sound of the cane, the white-haired Long Changqi appeared in front of everyone. It was only half a month later. The old man's energy seemed to be far less than before.
"The junior members of the township party pay homage to Mr. Longling." Chen Ke and all the fellow villagers quickly stood up and saluted, which was the grand ceremony for juniors to meet their elders.
"Don't dare." Long Changqi was still quite individual, and he even said politely: "The common people have seen the bachelor." He deliberately only mentioned Chen Ke to tell Ersu and the others that I am not targeting you.
"The old man killed the late student." But Chen Ke has been in the officialdom for some time, and he has already practiced a set of water grinding skills. I saw him saying respectfully: "In front of you, old man, we are all junior students.
No one can be called a master if you are late."
"The waves behind the Yangtze River push the waves ahead, and new people replace old ones." Long Changqi stretched out his hand and asked Chen Ke to sit upright and said: "How dare I, a defeated general, dare to speak bravely in front of you?"
"Alas," Chen Ke resolutely refused to sit upright. He only sat down on a chair on the east side and sighed, "What the old man said is like gouging out the heart of someone who was born late."
Seeing that he didn't sit down, Long Changqi sat down by himself and said calmly: "Isn't it true?"
"The education of the old man is much deeper than that of the younger students. However, the "Bamboo Book Annals" has been lost among the people and is only preserved in the imperial palace." Chen Ke said solemnly: "You have been in the wild all your life, so naturally you have no chance to see it.
Later in life, it was Jixian Dian who compiled and compiled it. By chance, I saw this book, so I got something from it." He said seriously: "There is a saying that a ruler is shorter and an inch is longer, but it cannot be said that an inch is longer.
Just longer than a ruler."
Why did Chen Ke bring so many fellow villagers here? It was just to say these words in front of them and make the old gentleman feel good.
Long Changqi lived to be ninety years old, how could he not understand what he meant? Although his face was calm, his tone was much gentler: "Bachelor, there is no need to comfort me. Only when I came to the capital this time did I know that I am indeed looking at the sky from a well."
"Old sir, don't deny yourself," Chen Ke sighed and said: "Actually, we scholars in the Song Dynasty really sit in a well and look at the sky. We don't know the hundreds of schools of thought in the pre-Qin Dynasty, let alone the three ancient emperors. We also don't know that there are mountains outside the mountains, continents overseas, and the world is still open.
How many civilizations are there that are no worse than ours?"
"Oh?" People are arrogant because of ignorance. People in the Song Dynasty also had this problem. They always thought that all outside China were barbarians, and what knowledge did barbarians have? It was nothing more than the language of animals and birds, and the Longchang period was not exempt from vulgarity. But for what Chen Ke said
He said, "I don't know the hundreds of pre-Qin schools, let alone the three ancient emperors." He still agreed with it, so he did not immediately refute it.
"If you don't believe it, old man, you can stay in the capital for a few days." Chen Ke said with a smile: "The books bought by scholars invited from overseas in the late period have already arrived in the Song Dynasty. It is estimated that they will be able to enter the capital in less than ten days and a half.
.Whether they have any information or not, we will know when the time comes.”
Long Changqi was quite moved. Chinese people are the most willing to learn "advanced" things, and can even abandon their own traditions easily, and the people of the Song Dynasty were no exception. But he was only slightly moved, he shook his head and said
: "I will leave Beijing the day after tomorrow. I'm afraid I won't be able to see you."
"We can't leave now." Chen Ke said decisively: "The late student knows a little about the art of distinguishing yellow. The old man is old and has come all the way from Sichuan. His vitality has been greatly reduced. Before, there was a virtual fire.
, so he always has a rosy complexion and a loud voice. At this moment, the thief has gone out of the building, and his energy and spirit are extremely weak." After a pause, he said sincerely: "At this time, what the old gentleman needs most is meditation and recuperation.
, I will prescribe another prescription. You can take it all winter long, and you will be able to recover next spring. If you force yourself to leave, it will be freezing cold soon, and with the bumps on the road, I'm afraid you won't be able to hold on."
This is what Chen Ke is most worried about, because he remembers that in history, the old man died on the way back. If history repeats itself, he will have to bear the blame!
Therefore, in order to keep him, Chen Ke told the truth, saying both good and bad things. Long Changqi had not yet recovered, but his students first became worried and advised: "Teacher, just listen to Bachelor Chen. There are people on the way."
Anyway, the disciples can't explain..."
No matter how much everyone tried to persuade him, Long Changqi just smiled lightly and said: "Why should I be afraid, a ninety-year-old man? I have already said I want to leave, how can I change it casually?"
"The plan can't keep up with the changes, right?" Chen Ke heard something and said with a smile: "How did you know that those Western scholars and Dashi books would come to Bianjing before you got old? And you can't see the "Bamboo Book Annals"
Will Lao be willing to do so?"
"..." This last sentence scratched Mr. Long's itch, and he couldn't help but mutter: "It's just those things."
"It's a big mistake," Su Shi on the side interjected: "Now Mr. Ouyang is concentrating on deciphering this book. Although it has not been completed yet, the current results alone are extremely shocking."
"Oh?" Scholars, after all, still need to be attracted by academics.
"For example, we have always thought that the three emperors in ancient times abdicated peacefully. However, the "Book of Bamboo" records that: 'Yao's virtue declined and he was imprisoned by Shun', and it also said that 'Houji released Emperor Zhu to Danshui'.
"Hou Ji was a close confidant of Shun, so according to the records in the "Bamboo Chronicles", it was Shun who imprisoned Yao and exiled Yao's son before ascending to the throne. How could there be any concession?
"So "Han Feizi. Comments on Suspicion" can be summed up in one sentence: 'Shun forced Yao, Yu forced Shun, Tang defeated Jie, and King Wu defeated Zhou. These four kings are the ones whose ministers killed their kings!'" Su Shi became more and more excited as he talked.
He said: "Old sir, how can you leave until you understand these things?"
Tonight, I have been chatting with a few friends who are engaged in philosophy and asked them to help improve Chen Ke's future ideological system. This is very important because I am short-sighted. I can't ask for leave from everyone, so I can only update twice today.
Three updates will be guaranteed tomorrow, and we will strive for four updates. This is a guarantee.
