On the second day, Chuci went to see Zhou Zhichuan.

Zhou Zhichuan has been depressed for a long time. His physical condition is not very good, but since he accepted Zhong Lixuan as his apprentice, the knot has disappeared, and he gradually regained his hale and hearty appearance. He was painting when Chuci came in,? Chuci He and Zhong Lixuan waited for him to finish a painting before he stepped forward and saluted.

"teacher."

"The disciple pays respects to the teacher."

Zhou Zhichuan hung the painting on the tree and looked at it for a while, then raised his hand and called to the two of them: "You two come here, write a poem together."

Chu Ci refused: "Teacher,? I don't know anything about poetry."

He has learned a lot of knowledge of this era, and he can also manufacture various weapons and equipment in this era,? But poetry and songs are still too difficult for him.

Zhou Zhichuan said displeased: "It's a shame that you also call me teacher, what a rotten piece of wood!"

Chu Ci had no choice but to say, "I call you teacher because you are Xiaoxuan's teacher. If you don't want to, I can call you Mr. Ge."

Zhou Zhichuan doesn't believe that Chu Ci can't write poems,? Chu Ci's handwriting is also quite good in his opinion,? Hearing this, he raised his crutch and knocked on Chu Ci: "I think you kid is trying to annoy me !"

"Didn't you ask me to come here?" Chu Ci swiftly avoided, "Is there something wrong with the teacher asking me to come here?"

Zhou Zhichuan put away his crutches, sat on a stone bench beside him, frowned and looked at Chu Ci for a while, then asked: "I heard that you opened a piano building, and asked Yin Ji to find many unusual musicians for you. And a beautiful dancer, and then obsessed with women day and night? Huh, not doing business,?

Sitting opposite, Chu Ci saw that Zhou Zhichuan was not looking very well, so he didn't explain much: "Not all dancers, there are many poor people in the piano building, I will find a job for them, and those girls all entered the building voluntarily."

Zhou Zhichuan slapped the table hard when he heard the words: "I have already asked Yin Ji, many of those girls are rebellious, and there are even stone girls who rebelled against their parents and refused to get married and plan to groom themselves! There are a few more, those What... Mo Jing, you let such shameless women lure men to degenerate, it's absurd, it's absurd!"

Zhou Zhichuan disapproved, but Chu Ci's expression remained unchanged when he heard the words. After all, Zhou Zhichuan is a literati of this era, and he feels that he is superior to others. Zhou Zhichuan felt rebellious when he deviated from the rules and played with men.

To put it another way, it is the limitation of class. Zhou Zhichuan was born in an aristocrat, so he can only see nobles. His sympathy for ordinary people is limited to sympathy. In the eyes of these hereditary dignitaries, the lives of common people and the lives of nobles are clearly is different.

However, Chu Ci is different. His origin is doomed that he cannot empathize with the nobles. He will only see the suffering of most people in this world.

Seeing what Zhou Zhichuan wanted to say, Chu Ci's expression was indifferent: "Qinlou is really not absurd, and Yuan Xu's up and down is really absurd now. Hungry and hungry, the people are in dire straits, parents sell their children into flower buildings in exchange for money and food, filial sons and filial daughters Without any fault, he became a lowly citizen and was sold or even beaten to death at will. People who can enter and exit Fireworks and Willow Lane voluntarily drunk their lives, and the husband fights for these people, but he can't see how many people in Yuanxu are going to be swallowed alive by this world. , Mister, do you really think that I'm the only one who is absurd?"

When Zhou Zhichuan heard the words, he thought of Dongfang Ya's stubborn look when he faced him many years ago, and thought of Huangfu Zhengzheng whom he wanted to teach carefully, and shook his head.

"Having said that, you shouldn't mess up the country by doing such nonsense. Those flower coupons are obviously a big disaster. Let those women lure men to indulge in pleasure, and playing with things will be detrimental to the country. What are you going to do?"

"It's all for those who wish to take the bait." Chu Ci didn't explain much to Zhou Zhichuan.Like Zhou Zhichuan, he and Zhou Zhichuan had their own ideas deeply ingrained. He would not try to persuade Zhou Zhichuan, and Zhou Zhichuan himself would not be able to convince him.

Seeing that the persuasion was fruitless, Zhou Zhichuan frowned even more. He looked at Zhong Lixuan who was writing, and sighed, "Since you disagree with my proposition, why bother to let that child learn from me?"

Chu Ci raised his eyes and looked at the cumulus clouds in the sky: "Zhongli is different from me, it is more suitable for him to study with you than to follow me."

He comes from Interstellar, and his ideas are incompatible with this era. Every era has its limitations. If Zhong Lixuan really wants to learn from him, he will be regarded as a different kind by everyone. For Zhong Lixuan, it will only be harmful and not beneficial.

A Confucian of several generations like Zhou Zhichuan is the most suitable person to teach Zhong Lixuan.

"It's going to rain, teacher, put away your paintings." Chu Ci raised his hand to catch a fallen leaf, and his voice returned to his usual calm and elegant voice.

Zhou Zhichuan saw that the other party had made up his mind, and he could no longer intervene, so he stood up and beat his waist: "Yes, the wind is blowing."

After sending all the paintings to dry in the yard to the studio, Chu Ci and Zhong Lixuan bid farewell to Zhou Zhichuan when they saw the drowsy weather. Zhou Zhichuan waved them away, turned around and picked up Zhong Lixuan's painting of the poem, and looked at it for a while , sighed and rolled up the painting and put it in the brocade box.

"The old man has misjudged his eyes again. These two boys are really not a family. They are all wolf cubs."

Zhong Lixuan and Chu Ci went out and walked for a while when it started to rain lightly. The two quickened their pace and just turned a corner when a figure suddenly rushed out from the opposite side. Zhong Lixuan almost bumped into that person. Xuan took two steps back into his arms, the figure that appeared suddenly screamed and fell to the ground.

The oil-paper umbrella fell to the ground, and the slender woman who fell in the rain described herself as embarrassed. The light-colored skirt was soaked in the sewage, and the faint fragrance of osmanthus blossomed in the rain.

Zhong Lixuan and Chu Ci looked at each other, and they frowned. This man was wearing a veiled hat, but he was holding an umbrella. It was inevitable that he would find it strange to meet him on a rainy day.

The woman turned her head and raised her hand to push her long hair behind her ears, revealing a clean wrist. The veil of the veil was lifted, and only half of her snow-white face was seen. This is a beautiful woman with only one eye. There are some fine lines around the lips, and they don't look so young.

Chu Ci glanced at the woman's eyes and lips, stepped forward to pick up the umbrella on the ground and handed it over: "Madam, are you okay?"

The woman glanced at Chu Ci, then looked at Zhong Lixuan who was covered behind, slowly got up, straightened the muddy skirt before taking the umbrella, her posture was extremely elegant, and her voice was soft and gentle: "No problem, Thank you son."

After finishing speaking, she took another look at Zhong Lixuan, held an umbrella, and passed the two of them, but when she passed by Zhong Lixuan who was stunned behind, she raised a corner of the veiled hat and smiled at Zhong Lixuan.

Zhong Lixuan was stunned, he felt that the feeling was a little subtle, and watched the woman disappear gracefully into the rain, Zhong Lixuan raised his hand and held Chu Ci's hand.

"What a freak."

Zhong Lixuan said softly.

"It's weird." Chu Ci smiled, looked away, and held Zhong Lixuan's hand instead, "Go home."

For some reason, Zhong Lixuan could never forget the woman he met that day. He seemed to be able to vaguely smell the sweet scent of sweet-scented osmanthus flowers when he fell asleep. A little tired, he went to study at Zhou Zhichuan's place.

I never thought that Zhong Lixuan would meet the woman holding an umbrella at the corner of the street again when I went home that day. The woman seemed to be waiting for him. Feeling more and more weird, he was extra wary of strangers because of what happened when he was a child, he looked around, ignored the woman, and walked directly towards the crowded place.

The smiling woman's raised hand froze, seeing Zhong Lixuan leave without looking back, she squinted her eyes, looked at Zhong Lixuan in silence for a moment, and then left holding an umbrella.

Zhong Lixuan thought that he might have encountered a strange person, so he changed his way to Zhou Mansion the next day, but when he returned home in the evening, he saw the woman again at the corner of the street.

This time the woman was not alone, there was a short figure with a stooped body standing beside her, Zhong Lixuan felt more and more that something was wrong, so he turned his head and wanted to leave, when the woman called out softly: "Xiaoxuan !"

Zhong Lixuan was in a bad mood when he heard the call, so he hurriedly speeded up.

"Xiaoxuan!" It wasn't the woman who spoke this time, but the figure next to the woman. The man's voice was hoarse and trembling, and he said with guilt, "Xiaoxuan, you resent your mother and nanny for losing you for so many years. ? We have a reason, child, we are here to protect you!"

Zhong Lixuan felt like being struck by lightning, he felt chills all over his body, an inexplicable fear and nausea swept through his body, and seized his mind, Zhong Lixuan didn't even dare to turn around to check whether that person abandoned his nanny when he was young, He suddenly raised his hand to cover his mouth and started to trot.

Seeing Zhong Lixuan had no intention of turning back, the woman wearing the veiled hat and the man in gray looked at each other, the man in gray whistled, and a figure descended from the sky, directly blocking Zhong Lixuan.

Zhong Lixuan was startled, looked up and saw that the man was wearing a mask, Zhong Lixuan was about to call for help, when he saw the man raised his hand and chopped Zhong Lixuan's neck with a knife.

Zhong Lixuan fell to the ground, the man stepped forward to hug Zhong Lixuan, and looked at the two women who were slowly walking behind him.

The woman holding the umbrella stepped forward, raised her hand and touched Zhong Lixuan's cheek, with a smile in her voice: "What a good boy, and he was born so well, it's not in vain that we hid him for so many years after he was born. From our side It has been lost for so long, but it can be considered found. Ah Ruo, it seems that this child is very afraid of you, when he wakes up, you have to explain to him the misunderstandings of the year."

"Yes, princess." The one called A Ruo was obviously Zhong Lixuan's nanny, and she was extremely respectful to the woman holding the umbrella.

The woman helped the unconscious Zhong Lixuan to straighten her long hair, covering half of Zhong Lixuan's face. The bright red nails ran across the boy's brows and eyes, and she withdrew her hand in her heart. The woman looked at the tall and silent man behind her: "You should all call me little princess. Princess and little princess are always different."

"Yes, little princess." Ah Ruo quickly changed his words.

The full red lips drew a shallow arc, and the woman walked forward slowly holding an umbrella: "It's time to meet my good brother, I don't know Ping... Brother, have you ever thought of me in these years, like this?" Unscrupulous, I'm afraid, I thought I was really dead, but fortunately it's not too late, since I'm back, I have to help my son get back everything he deserves."
