wise man

Chen Shoushi left the coachman's pillar and the 200 taels of silver.When Yang Zhen heard the name Zhuzi, the first thing that came to mind in his mind was a simple-looking, solid-looking young man. Unexpectedly, he was actually a thin and smart person, about the same age as Yang Zhen.

Due to the addition of people in the mansion, Butler Qin insisted that master and servant could no longer sit at the same table, so Chen Shoushi asked Butler Qin to eat with him, and the others ate outside the kitchen.

When Cuiwei heard that Chen Shoushi and Yang Zhen were going to the capital, she immediately yelled: "I just came, you are leaving, why is this so unfortunate? Then what do you want me to do here these few days?"

Yang Zhen said: "You can go out and have fun, and see the customs and customs of Changzhou County."

Cuiwei said: "No, I want to go back to the capital with you."

Yang Zhen said: "You just came here, and you haven't recovered from your fatigue yet. How can you run around again? What's more, my lord and I are going on horseback. You are a girl, can you ride?"

"Ride a horse?" Cui Wei stared at him and said, "What a noble person our master is, why don't you persuade him to take a carriage?"

Yang Zhen said: "Your Excellency has urgent matters to attend to, and time is tight, so ride a horse."

Cuiwei wanted to say something else, but Yang Zhen stood up and said, "If you have any doubts, you can ask your lord, I just obey your lord's orders." After saying that, she retreated first.

Cuiwei looked at his back suspiciously, and poked Zhuzi: "Zhuzi, Zhuzi, do you think this person has changed?"

Zhu Zi thought about it for a while, and said straight to the point: "Now he looks a little vigorous and full of ambition."

Cui Wei laughed heartily: "You are quite knowledgeable."

Zhu Zi glanced at her: "You just know? Don't look down on me just because I'm a driver. By the way, my lord told me to take him and Yang Zhen to Yunyong Mountain in the afternoon. I'm going to go sightseeing in the mountains."

Cuiwei slapped him on the head: "It's against you, with such a crazy tone!"

Zhu Zi chuckled: "The mountains are high here and the emperor is far away, follow our little master, and be free."

As soon as the free and unrestrained Zhuzi carried Chen Shoushi and Yang Zhen out of the county government office, they were stopped by the carriage.Gao Boming knelt in front of the car, and said, "Caomin asks to see your lord."

Chen Shoushi hurriedly jumped out of the carriage, and Yang Zhen followed behind him.Chen Shoushi helped Gao Boming up and said: "Brother Boming, don't do this kind of gift in the future, I said before, I treat you as a friend."

Gao Boming's slightly dark face revealed a look of guilt: "Boming is ashamed, begging your lord for a private matter."

"It's because of Gao Zhongyang, right?" Chen Shoushi said empathetically, "I know, he has injuries, and you are worried about him. It's okay, you can visit him in prison and heal him. Listen to Yang Zhen, he is already dead Repent, if you go to see him, he will be happy."

It turned out that this was Gao Zhongyang's elder brother.Yang Zhen thought to himself, judging by his appearance, he looks like a Confucian businessman, so he can be used.It's a pity that this person only knows how to educate with a stick, and beat his younger brother out of his "flaws". If he can lead Gao Zhongyang into business and teach him well, Gao Zhongyang may not be where he is today.

He also thought that his lord was much better than Gao Boming, at least he would not be beaten to pieces. After time travelling, he was only slapped and punished to kneel, which was considered gentle.

Hey, why such a comparison?He is a brother, but my lord is my sweetheart...

He was thinking wildly there alone, Chen Shoushi and Gao Boming didn't notice it.

"Thank you, my lord." Gao Boming said, "My lord is so generous and caring for the people, Bo Ming admires him infinitely. If my lord is useful to him, Bo Ming is willing to do his best."

Chen Shoushi smiled and said: "I really have something to trouble Brother Boming." He took out Gao Zhongyang's piece of paper and said, "These names are all given by Gao Zhongyang, I want to invite them to Yunyong Mountain on March [-]rd." "Brother Birming is the person I value the most, please take the time to participate, if you have friends who like to express their love for mountains and rivers, please invite them to come with us."

Holding the piece of paper, Gao Boming recognized his younger brother's handwriting, and said excitedly: "This little bastard really repented and is willing to help the lord?"

Chen Shoushi said: "My bodyguard asked him to write it."

Gao Boming still remembered Yang Zhen's face, looked at Yang Zhen and said, "How is Guard Yang?"

Yang Zhen said, "I'm fine."

"Guard Yang is willing to forgive my brother?"

"He went astray. Now that he has sincerely repented and served his sentence, he is an innocent man again. I just have a word of advice to Gao Ye."

"Guard Yang, please tell me."

"According to what Gao Zhongyang said, he is rather self-defeating. I think, if you are willing to teach him more in the future, Mr. Gao, he may not be unable to become a talent."

Gao Boming was so moved that he almost shed tears: "Thank you, Guard Yang, for your kind words." Then he turned to Chen Shoushi and said, "It's a blessing for the people of Changzhou County to have fun with the people. Boming will definitely do it."

"This is a project I'm planning. I'm afraid there will be many places to bother Brother Birming in the future." Chen Shoushi added.He used the word "project" unconsciously.Gao Boming was stunned for a while, but he understood.Yang Zhen couldn't help laughing, feeling quite accomplished.

Chen Shoushi glimpsed his smile out of the corner of his eye, and felt a strange feeling in his heart.

The road was very bumpy, the pillars were driving outside, his buttocks rose into the air from time to time, and then plopped down again, he held back not to scream, for fear that his master would hear him and reprimand him.

In the carriage, Yang Zhen was sitting face to face with Chen Shoushi, but when she saw that the carriage was jolting violently, she stood up on her own initiative, thinking of the guards beside her, who knew that the carriage jolted slightly, and Yang Zhen's body threw herself into his embrace. Way suddenly rushed towards Chen Shoushi.

At that moment, he almost screamed out, and suddenly found that he was caught.It was the adults who supported his shoulders with both hands, but due to the great momentum, his face was only an inch away from Chen Shoushi's...

The two stared wide-eyed and could hear each other's breath.

Chen Shoushi: "...This kid's eyelashes are quite long, and the curvature of his lips is very soft."

Yang Zhen: "...My lord's eyes are simply magical. The bridge of the nose seems to be carved out. How can it be so perfect?"

With a "huh", red tides appeared on Yang Zhen's face, he retreated hastily, lowered his head, and tried to stand still: "My lord, I'm sorry."

"What are you doing?" Chen Shoushi reprimanded softly, his tone was not tough at all, but rather vague and lazy, as if he was drinking tea just now, and a cat jumped onto his knee and rubbed it.

"Subordinates want to come to your lord...to defend your lord."

"How to defend?" Chen Shoushi's straight eyebrows moved slightly, and Yang Zhen could not help but see some amorous feelings from the corner of his eyes, and his heart beat faster.

"Hold you." This sentence was said in Yang Zhen's heart, and he didn't have the courage to say it, so he just kept silent.

"Go back and sit down," Chen Shoushi said, "I was so reckless that I almost fell down. I thought about your illness last night and the long journey tomorrow, so I decided to take a carriage. Don't accidentally get hurt own."

"Yes, my lord." Yang Zhen stepped back, his face was hot, in order to hide himself, he lifted the curtain behind him and looked out.

"Master, I offended you just now, please forgive me." Zhu Zi shouted from outside.

"It's okay. I just came out to investigate the people's conditions and landscape. Now that I know it, I have to start rebuilding the road."

"Yes, the supporting facilities should keep up." Yang Zhen blurted out.

Chen Shoushi looked at him: "Is this also from the messy books?"

Yang Zhen furrowed her hair like a cat with frayed hair, turned her head and sat upright, pretending to be cute: "Yes."

Chen Shoushi had an air of "I'm too lazy to bother you anymore".

"Are you going straight ahead?" Zhuzi shouted again.

"Yes, go straight and turn right at the three-way intersection."

Yang Zhen asked in surprise, "My lord, how do you know?"

"I don't know the way to go out. Shall we ask all the way there? I've checked the map a long time ago." Chen Shoushi said casually.Then, he stretched out a hand and touched his face lightly, as if there was something on it.

Yang Zhen noticed that his expression was very subtle.What are adults thinking?He couldn't figure it out.

It took about half an hour for the carriage to arrive at Yunyong Mountain.Chen Shoushi and Yang Zhen went to investigate the ground conditions one after the other, while Zhu Zi stayed on the carriage to guard.

Chen Shoushi was fascinated almost as soon as he got off the carriage. The mountain in front of him was not too high, but the trees were lush and cool everywhere. As the county chronicles said, there were "thousands of pines and ten thousand poles of bamboo".

Surrounding the mountain is a green lake, which is the green reflected by the trees all over the mountain. "That intoxicating green", Yang Zhen couldn't help but think of Zhu Ziqing's prose "Plum Rain Lake". If you don't see Jingpo Lake, how can you know how beautiful the green he wrote is? Jasper, only one clear color—but you can’t see through her.” It turns out that there is such a beautiful green in the world.

He really wanted to jump into the lake and swim like a fish.

"Mermaids, sharks." He murmured, "There should be their legends here."

Chen Shoushi looked at him calmly, as if he was studying something novel.The last time he was in the back garden of the mansion, and this time by the lake, he showed that kind of indulging and intoxicated expression.This expression really touched his heart.

He heard his murmur too.

"Shaman? Why did you suddenly think of this?"

"Oh, my lord. Mermaids also have a nice name called mermaid. They have fish tails and human bodies. They are so beautiful. They live in the sea, but when they fall in love with humans, their fish tails will turn into feet. Come to land..."

"I've only heard of mermaids who can weave mermaids, so they don't get wet in the water. When they cry, their tears turn into pearls. I've never heard of mermaids, and fish tails that turn into feet."

"My lord." Yang Zhen was so excited by this inspiration that she came over and took Chen Shoushi's hand directly, "Think about it, if we make up a mermaid legend for Jingpo Lake, how romantic it would be! It will definitely attract many poets The poet came over."

Chen Shoushi was infected by the vivid joy on his face, and a gentle smile appeared on the corner of his mouth: "Okay, then you can make it up."

"Yes, yes, my lord."

"Let's go." The two of them went up the mountain, and after walking for a long time, Chen Shoushi realized that Yang Zhen was holding his hand, and he didn't let it go.

Suddenly, a long bell rang from the mountain, and through the gaps in the trees, one could see the yellow walls and black tiles of the temple, as well as the eaves hanging from the top of the mountain.

Chen Shoushi quietly withdrew his hand and said, "Yonglian Temple is here."

They entered through the mountain gate and came to the main hall.A middle-aged monk with a handsome face came out, looked at the two of them, and asked after a while: "You two benefactors, are you offering incense?"

Chen Shoushi said: "Exactly."

The monk glanced at Chen Shoushi and said, "Looking at your face, you are either rich or noble, how come you come to our monastery in this poor mountain?"

Yang Zhen thought to himself: This monk is very shrewd, he always praises others for being rich or noble, he wants to earn more sesame oil money.

As soon as he changed his mind, the monk looked at him and said solemnly: "My benefactor, you have a cheerful brow, but you have depression in your heart. If you are willing, the poor monk will explain it to you, how about it?"

Yang Zhen was taken aback, could this person really be a divine monk, who could see that he had something on his mind?No, no, definitely blind.

Chen Shoushi was quite interested: "Oh? The master has seen that he has a knot in his heart? Let's hear it."

Yang Zhen hurriedly said: "This subordinate doesn't believe me, sir...don't listen to his nonsense, master."

The monk said: "The poor monk is the abbot of the monastery, and his name is Qiulin."

"So it's Master Abbot." Chen Shoushi said, "I'm rude, please don't blame me."

Abbot Qiulin said: "Maybe. Little benefactor, there is a saying in the Buddhist scriptures: There are seven sufferings in life. Birth, old age, sickness, death, resentment and hatred, separation from love, what you can't ask for, I'm afraid you won't be able to ask for it! It's better to let go."

Yang Zhen's chest seemed to be hit by a heavy fist, and he almost heard the sound of his heart being shattered.He gritted his teeth, I don't believe in this evil monk talking.
