Tang Dynasty good father-in-law

But it's normal to think about it. After all, the conflict between scholars in the north and south has not always existed.

This is a matter of regional differences. Their own families and common people do not like each other.

In the end, the scholars also disliked each other!

And the South didn't know that it was because of the beautiful mountains and rivers, so it gradually gained the upper hand in the imperial examination.

At the beginning of the imperial examination, the north had some advantages.

But it was quickly reversed by the South, which undoubtedly led to more contradictions.

Even if Shu An faced such a contradiction, he still had no opinion.

In addition to this period of time, Shu An has disappeared for a while.

Then naturally, the dispute between the scholars in the north and the south started again and became the focus of attention.

"Looks like we'll get a good tour of the South."

Shu An said with a smile.

"Hopefully they don't compete too much."

"During the autumn period in previous years, there were quite a few fights between scholars from the north and the south."

Li Xiuning also showed a lot of smiles and said out loud.

Obviously, he knew a lot about the excitement in Chang'an before.

"Young people, there must always be some blood."

"As long as it doesn't go too far, it's fine."

Shu An's voice continued to sound, and there was not much objection to this matter.

After all, there is pressure when there is competition. If there is no competition, there is no motivation for progress.

Undoubtedly, this period of time was the most relaxing time for Shu An and others to travel.

Because of the competition between scholars in the north and south, the trouble became more and more serious.

Originally, some northern scholars were not planning to go to the south, but they all rushed to the north.

Based on the base number, there must be more scholars in the north than in the south.

After all, the Central Plains is the place where the most aristocratic families gather, and there are many Confucian inheritances of Confucius.

The inheritance is relatively complete!

Naturally, it is reasonable to have more scholars.

After traveling to many famous cities, Shu An brought Li Xiuning to a village.

"This is the place where I used to live in seclusion."

Shu An said slowly, this season is already autumn.

But the south is still emerald green, which can be said to be a unique scenery in the south.

“This place is really nice!”

"It's even comparable to Chang'an's farm. Didn't you want to go back to Chang'an back then?"

Li Xiuning observed the surrounding environment and couldn't help saying quietly.

"That's not true. Speaking of living here, it's a coincidence."

"I still have a house in the village, I don't know if it's still there."

Shu An said with a smile on his face, the environment is only one reason.

Li Xiuning couldn't help showing a hint of curiosity in his eyes, but he didn't ask questions immediately.

Because if Shu An wanted to say it, he would definitely say it.

And maybe the answer is not necessarily in this village.

However, as Shu An walked into the village, some villagers seemed to recognize Shu An one after another.

"Are you Uncle Shu?!"

"That's right, it's the old man. I just came back to take a look."

"Uncle Shu, I didn't expect that after so many years, you still haven't changed much."

.....

Because of Shu An's appearance, there is actually not much change from when he entered and left Chang'an.

Naturally, is there any difference from when I first left here?

Originally, some young and middle-aged people naturally recognized Shu An.

At the beginning, Shu An subsidized a lot of things for the villagers.

For these villagers, this Uncle Shu is a good man.

Naturally it was impressive!

Shu An had waited a lot of copper coins before.

One person distributed some to the people in the village, although not much.

Maybe you can buy two or three taels of meat, but it still makes the villagers happy.

Because the south is still relatively small under the care of An Xuangong, it is not as exaggerated as the north.

So Shu An would not be recognized in the village.

After all, this village is somewhat remote.

Soon Shu An arrived at the place where he lived at the beginning.

"Master, you are finally back!"

An old man said with excitement, as if he couldn't believe it.

This old man's name is Ma Lou, and he was a middle-aged man 20 years ago.

Shu An came here because he was rescued by Shu An in an accident.

Ma Lou was injured because of falling off a cliff, and there is no doctor in the village.

Fortunately, Ma Lou was lucky to meet Shu An and others, but this also caused Shu An to live for a while.

Later, when I came back from Bashu, I just thought of settling down in the south of the Yangtze River.

So I'm back here!

In order to repay Shu An for saving his life, Ma Lou, an honest commoner, started running errands for Shu An.

Until Shu'an returns to Chang'an!

Shu An gave Ma Lou a sum of money to retire in his hometown.

After all, Shu An is not a heartless person, but he is very generous to those close to him.

Even if Ma Lou wanted to repay his kindness before, Shu Anke never thought of repaying his kindness.

"Ma Lou, it's been a long time, and you're fine."

Shu An said with a very happy expression, he was naturally happy to see his old friend still alive.

At the beginning, Ma Lou was almost 45, and 20 years later, he will be 65.

This age does not mean that you will not be alive, in this era.

9Chapter 17 Be honest with me, lie in good faith

It is natural to be happy to see old friends here.

In 20 years, the years have changed too many things.

But there is an emotion called a scholar who dies for his confidant, but it will never fade.

Ma Lou is undoubtedly such a person, a person who can give his life for Shu An.

"Master, this courtyard has been waiting for you for these years."

Ma Lou said excitedly.

"Actually, it doesn't have to be like that!"

On Shu An's complexion, he said helplessly.

For 20 years, he actually never thought of coming back here again.

This time there should be some surprises.

If it wasn't for Li Xiuning's instigation, he really might not have set foot in the south of the Yangtze River again and came here.

"These are all things that should be done for the master."

Instead, Ma Lou said without any hesitation.

This has become his daily routine.

It has become a part of his daily life. If he doesn't do it, he will not get used to it.

Even Shu An's complexion has a lot of emotion, but this is the characteristic of the times.

Walking into the former courtyard, it was as if someone cleaned it every day.

There are still some differences from uninhabited, which can be seen obviously.

Just like when he left 20 years ago.

"Squeak!"

Pushing open the door, there is also no dust inside, obviously wiped frequently.

There wasn't much left of the original.

But on the wall, there is still a sentence left by Shu An.

"You treat me with sincerity, how dare you bear me!"

Li Xiuning came to Shu An's side and couldn't help saying.

There is a touch of love in the words, this sentence undoubtedly tells the relationship between people.

At first glance, Li Xiuning recognized that it was written by Shu An.

It is unbelievable that it has existed for 20 years in this simple country courtyard.

If it is placed in Chang'an, then at least it is worth tens of thousands of gold.

However, it was placed here at will, and no one has discovered it yet.

If it is a period of time, forget it, but this is a full 20 years.

This period of time is not short, and there is this Ma Lou.

It also made Li Xiuning sigh a little. The old master's title made Li Xiuning guess a lot.

"I haven't been back for a long time, and I'm very pleased to see it like this."

Even Shu An couldn't help whispering softly.

It gave him a familiar feeling, but it's a pity that Laifu is now old because of his age.

It is no longer possible to accompany him to this place, otherwise it would be like returning to 20 years ago.

The night gradually fell.

After tidying up briefly, Shu An also began to move in.

Although Ma Lou is old, seeing Shu An seems to restore his former vitality.

Even the people in the village couldn't help showing a hint of relief when they saw this scene.

They naturally knew why this Uncle Ma was like this.

You must know that Uncle Ma's experience at the beginning was the envy of many villagers.

But because he was helped by Shu An back then, he had no other emotions.
