Rebel

When he woke up the next day, Yun Ang found that Gu Ao had rolled over beside him, sleeping deeply, and one foot was resting on his body.Yun Ang hurriedly stood up, lifted Gu Ao's feet with some effort, but suddenly lost all strength, and accidentally threw himself on Gu Ao.The skin was pressed against each other through the shirt, and as soon as Yunxi felt the heat on his body, there was a slight change in the inexplicable place.

Gu Ao also felt the heavy pressure of the cloud, and opened his eyes in a daze, but saw a handsome face close at hand, with red lips and bright teeth, vaguely full of emotion, and there seemed to be a trace of tenderness hidden in his eyes Tenderness, Gu Ao couldn't help pushing the person on him, calling softly: "...Young Master Yun?"

Yun Ang blushed in an instant, hurriedly got up, put some distance away from Gu Ao, turned over and got out of bed: "...I...I drank too much wine last night, and forgot that you were sleeping here."

Seeing Gu Ao blinking his eyes with sleepiness, and looking at him with sleepy sleepy eyes that did not wake up in the morning, and showing the handsome and clear youth on his normally serious face, Yun Ying couldn't help swallowing. With a mouthful of saliva, he finally realized belatedly: "It's not good! '

Gu Ao looked at Yun Ang inexplicably and suddenly turned around, and trotted all the way towards Chu Gong's place.He scratched his head, sat up with his arms out of nowhere, and stretched himself... Looking at the sunlight outside, it was time to get up!

When Yun Ang returned to the house again, he saw that Gu Ao had tidied up his clothes, folded the quilt, and was fetching water for washing outside, so he walked behind Gu Ao pretending to be relaxed: "...Are you up?"

Gu Ao pointed at the sky and said, "It's time to get up."

Seeing Yunying standing by the side without saying a word, Gu Ao said again: "Yesterday when I was drunk, I talked nonsense, and I felt dizzy after drinking. I was afraid that I would not be able to catch up with your quick thinking, but it made you talk more and I talked less. Afterwards, I fell asleep unknowingly, if there is any disrespect, I hope Mr. Yun will forgive me."

"Where..." Seeing that Gu Ao didn't mention the unintentional matter on the bed just now, Yun Ang let out a sigh of relief.But seeing Gu Ao staring at him again, he couldn't help but feel hot on his face, and felt a little at a loss for a while: "I also went to bed early yesterday, so I don't remember it. You...have never been rude."

Gu Ao smiled and nodded: "That's good."

Yunying asked cautiously: "...then today...do you still go to Huai Xin's place to study?"

Gu Ao said: "I'm going to prepare some fasting and bathing things with Mrs. Jian these days, and I'm going to worship under the old man soon, I'm afraid I won't be able to accompany Brother Huai and Young Master Yun. If you give Brother Huai a meal, can you help me?" Shall I send a message? Thank you!"

Seeing that Gu Ao had something to do, Yun Ang sighed with some disappointment: "Oh...then you go, I won't keep you."

Gu Ao bid farewell to Yun Ang and walked towards Mrs. Jian's house. Jian Pu opened the door to see Gu Ao, then smiled and said, "Where did you sleep yesterday? You smelled of alcohol!"

Gu Ao said with some embarrassment: "I slept with Mr. Yun last night."

Jian Pu nodded, opened the door to welcome Gu Ao into the house, and said: "It's good for you to make friends with him...he is not a person who knows his background." Saying this, Jian Pu led Gu Ao into the hall, pointing Looking at the table, he said: "I have written all the things to be prepared on the silk cloth, you put them away and make arrangements little by little."

Gu Ao nodded, and following Master Jian's instructions, he took the list that had been made on the desk, opened it, and saw that it was divided into two categories, all of which were fully written, all of which were required for the etiquette of apprenticeship.

Jian Pu stood aside and said: "Incense, floating dust, etc., you can go to the internal affairs hall to get them, which is in the courtyard behind the bamboo forest; I have listed all the things you need to go down the mountain to buy, such as brocade clothes and brocade shoes for bathing and changing clothes. the other side."

Gu Ao nodded: "Understood."

"If there is anything unclear, ask me again."

"Well, thank you, Master." Gu Ao put the silk cloth into his arms, "...Then I will start to prepare from today, and I will go down the mountain later."

"Don't worry, there will be a good day just in the middle of next month, and it has been fixed for you. In January, you can handle these affairs one by one, don't be in a hurry. People, there must always be a little leisurely charm hidden in the spirit It’s fine, don’t be in a hurry.”

Jian Pu is used to being an expert in the world, he dislikes small things the most, and finds it annoying, now that he has explained the matter to Gu Ao, he is also afraid that Gu Ao will be bored, so he ordered: "...take your time."

Gu Ao heard it in his ears, but he didn't think it was cumbersome. He had been doing things for his parents at home since he was a child, and there were still calluses on his hands. The most important thing he lacked was patience in doing things. I planned to leave immediately and go to the county town first to buy new clothes for the apprentice to bathe and change clothes.Seeing Jian Pu persuading him like this, he slowed down his thoughts, and was about to take a look before speaking, and said: "Master, I understand."

Jian Pu looked at his disciple and nodded slightly in satisfaction: "Then you go!"

Gu Ao goes out, walks around to the house where he lives with Tian Rong, wants to go in and drink some water before going down the mountain, but just as he enters the door, he happens to meet Tian Rong who is coming out of him.Tian Rong was walking and stuffing pens, inkstones, etc., and diabolo slips into the book bag. When he saw Gu Ao, he called out, "Brother Ao!"

Gu Ao was stunned: "Why are you so late today? Didn't you say you were going to Mr. Xiao's, why did you leave?"

Tian Rong stopped and said with a smile: "I have already been there in the morning, and now I have a nap in the hall for half an hour, and I will come back to get some things!... Huh! You don't know, Mr. Xiao's place really opened my eyes! "

"Oh? What's wrong?" Gu Ao asked.

"Mr. Xiao asked each of his brothers to bring 100 taels of silver down the mountain. You have to bring 1000 taels back to the mountain to enter the door! Guess what? A senior brother bribed a grain official in a certain county and asked him to take The money for harvesting millet has increased by [-]%...so..."

Seeing Tian Rong gesticulating happily, Gu Ao couldn't help laughing, because he still had something to do and didn't have time to listen to Tian Rong's details, so he waved his hand, stopping what Tian Rong was about to say.Tian Rong's eyes moved, as if he still couldn't help but want to talk, Gu Ao smiled and said: "I don't want to talk about other people's secrets, I just ask you, what did you learn today? Tell me about it."

Tian Rong said vigorously: "How to make friends with close ministers, favorite ministers, and concubines...the most important thing is to gain their trust and love...I only found out today that there is such a profound and wonderful relationship in this world. knowledge!"

Gu Ao raised his eyebrows slightly when he heard the words. Since he had the intention of taking care of Tian Rong, he guided him and said: "Well, as long as you have a heart, the world will be chaotic in the future. This is the foundation of your standing. But you are more You know, most of the aristocratic families look down on me from a poor family, if you want to serve, this time you have to serve someone who is worth entrusting your life to, don't trust others wrongly like before, and lead to disaster."

Tian Rong blinked, and said: "... Who else can I serve, I'll just help you, brother Ao, you will never harm me, and you won't leave me alone? Anyway, I already want to alright!"

"...are you willing to help me?" Gu Ao asked.

Tian Rong nodded: "Mr. Xiao told me today that he accepted me as a disciple for the sake of me and you. He said that if I was alone, he would not accept me. He also said , Accepting a disciple is like betting on a bet, he bet on the two of us, but not me."

Gu Ao was slightly taken aback, he wanted to figure out how to keep Tian Rong in his hand, but he didn't expect Mr. Xiao to help him secretly, whether it was intentional or not, even the reason why he disciplined Tian Rong, They all paved the way for themselves so quietly, so Gu Ao said: "Since this is the case, we brothers should be of one heart and one mind in the future. If you have anything, you must not hide it from me like before. If you have something, you have to talk to me I said. In the future, if you have any doubts that you don’t understand, you must also ask me. What you want to decide, what plans you have in mind, you need my consent.”

Tian Rong didn't take it seriously when he heard Gu Ao say that, he just nodded and said: "I was going to follow you!"

Gu Ao thought carefully about Tian Rong's expression, saw it in his eyes, and said to himself: "Mr. Xiao still lures Tian Rong for profit, if there is no profit one day, I am worried that Tian Rong will still part ways with me. These days, I have to think hard about how to make Tian Rong stay by my side for a long time."

Seeing that Tian Rong was holding a volume of "Yin Yang Strategies" that he had never seen before, Gu Ao asked casually, "What book is this?"

"Mr. Xiao gave it to me, so that I can read it within three days."

Gu Ao knew that Tian Rong didn't like reading, so he couldn't help asking, "Can I finish it in three days?"

Tian Rong smiled and said, "This book is written in what I want to read. I've already read half of it. Why can't I finish it in three days?"

Gu Ao raised his eyebrows slightly, seeing that Tian Rong finally became more serious, he thought in his heart: "He is finally promising, in the future I have to deal with him slowly, and I must let him truly belong to me. .”

He thought again: "Tian Rong had such a wasteful temperament before, but now that he has the right appetite for learning, it's not that he is unwilling to work hard. It seems that I was mean before. He liked the small way, but I talked to him about the big way. This is not my pedantry but What? Since Tian Rong can also be taught, it seems that people in the world, as the master said, the so-called wisdom, stupidity, bravery, and bluntness, although they have different roots and different habits, they all have ways to be educated.

Now that the poor family is declining, Master Qi can be so domineering because the people from the poor family have few opportunities to show their strengths, while the family members have many connections and learn more. The difference between the two is the reason for such prosperity trend.Tian Rong and I were lucky enough to enroll in Shanyun Academy and finally gained a foothold.It seems that it is not that poor families are not as good as aristocratic families in everything, but that those from humble backgrounds are born at the wrong time and cannot stand out. "

Thinking of this, Gu Ao looked at the high-spirited Tian Rong again, and couldn't help sighing in his heart: "From this, I know that I can't speak so bluntly when I persuade people in the future. I used to think it was a festival for admonishing friends, but in fact No. If I had persuaded Tian Rong in a small way from the beginning, instead of telling him the truth with a straight face, maybe he would have listened to me and changed his mind. But I am stuck on those high-sounding words, and now At first glance, it may not be right.

Since I'm really doing his best, I shouldn't stick to trifles.Benevolence and righteousness are the bones, and the tongue is the skin.I didn't persuade him, he stumbled because of this, on the contrary, I hurt him by provoking my talents.This is me putting the cart before the horse, putting benevolence and righteousness on my tongue, but not on my heart. "

He then thought about it and said: "It seems that the ancients spoke from the heart, they didn't just say what they thought, but they were sincere in their hearts, seeking loyalty from others, but the way of speaking had to be far-reaching and ingenious, and they had to teach students according to their aptitude."

Thinking of this, Gu Ao planned to try to praise Tian Rong, and said: "Brother Rong, you are so motivated now, I am very happy for you, I hope you will become a talent soon, and you can be a leader in the country."

Tian Rong raised his eyes, scratched his head and said, "...Across the country...it's still difficult, but it's really interesting!"

Gu Ao smiled slightly: "Isn't it interesting? If you can put the records in this "Yin Yang Strategy" into practice in the future, it will be even more interesting!"

Tian Rong hasn't had a heart-to-heart with Gu Ao for a long time, but now seeing Gu Ao complimenting him, she was moved to tears: "Yes! I know!"
