Along the way, Chi Li and Tan Yushu were both very silent. Chi Li held the heater in his hand and suddenly asked, "Why did he call you Yulang?"

Tan Yushu has been waiting for Chi Li to ask a question, but he did not expect him to ask such a question. After a moment of surprise, he smiled and said, "My first name is Tan Yushu, and my nickname is Yulang. When I grow up, it's not easy for outsiders to call me directly. First name is taboo, so you can call me by my last name, Tan Lang, or according to my order in the family, call me Thirteen Lang, and then call me by my cousin, such as 'Zi Shu', which is the name of Brother Zhuang .”

Speaking of this, Tan Yushu lowered his eyes and smiled calmly: "It's really not appropriate to call me Yulang like the prince, but the prince is after all a relative of the Wang family, and we, the subjects, naturally have to rely on him."

"Then how did you become good friends?"

Tan Yushu said with a smile: "I didn't tell Brother Chi before that when I was rushing for the exam, I was too shy, so I made a living by selling calligraphy and painting? The person who bought my calligraphy and painting is the prince."

Chi Li narrowed his eyes, oh, no wonder it sold so fast...

Tan Yushu could tell what he was thinking just by looking at his expression, and it was hard to explain, so he could only pretend not to see it, and continued: "Back then, my son was named 'Yuan Sujie', and he listened to and prepared for the exam with us candidates. He is very talented and quick-witted. , and Brother Zhuang are double walls for a while, they can be regarded as two wonderful flowers among the current students..."

Pond: ...

"Two what?"

Tan Yushu: "Wonderful... Is there any problem?"

No, I just think this term is too precise, haha...

Although I don't know why, Brother Chi suddenly became very happy, but now that the atmosphere has eased, it's easy to talk about.

"Back then, the three of us were good friends studying for exams. Both Brother Zhuang and Shizi were a hundred times more talented than me. As a result, Brother Zhuang had a rough time, and it was rare to go to high school. Shizi was in the list. However, his identity was discovered and Prince Gong took him home. On the contrary, it was me who somehow won the Tanhua, heh, the world is like this, who would have expected it?"

Chi Li narrowed his eyes: "So, you and this son are bosom friends?"

Tan Yushu smiled and said nothing, but when he returned to the mountain temple and there was no one there, he suddenly said in a low voice: "I have no children today."

Chi Li paused, and instantly understood what he meant.

The emperor has no children, so after his death he will let his brother succeed him, or adopt a child from the Wang clan.In this way, Prince Gong's son may even become the future emperor.

For ancient officials, the emperor was definitely the most important political investment, so no matter what, Tan Yushu would not have an antagonism with Prince Gong's son who might be enthroned.

The water leak in the meditation room was dripping quietly, and Chi Li said silently: "At any time, investing in a person is the easiest business to lose money."

Tan Yushu gently grinds and sifts the tea with plain hands, puts the tea powder in a cup, puts water, gently beats out the froth, and hands it to Chi Li, smiling: "So I don't invest in anyone, if I invest, I will only invest in it." Invest in Brother Chi."

Chi Li took the tea bowl, and the tea soup in the cup was clear and translucent, with a pleasant aftertaste.

He believed Tan Yushu's words very much, because for Tan Yushu, all people with close interests are not trustworthy, only the two of them have always had the same stand.

Chi Li's stomach is not good, Tan Yushu didn't refill after drinking one, raised his eyes and asked: "I see that the leeks in the shed are already ripe and can be sold, what is Chi brother's plan? And the one-month period is almost , Brother Chi, what are you going to bring back to you?"

Now that he asked, the corner of Chi Li's mouth curled up a bit: "You said your brother Zhuang is very talented, how talented is he?"

Tan Yushu didn't expect that Chi Li would ask this question, sat up straight and straightened his body and said: "There is no one in the past, and there will be no one in the future. Historic pens in the future, famous people in ancient and modern times, Brother Zhuang is one of them."

Chili: It sounds amazing...

"Since you said so, let's go to him again tomorrow."

Hey?

When Brother Chi met Brother Zhuang before, the boss didn't want to. What's the matter now?

The next day, Chi Li and Tan Yushu went to Uncle Zhuangzi's house again. Uncle Zhuangzi was still sulking, but Feng Xiu'e opened the door for them again.

Uncle Zhuangzi jumped up angrily: "Get out, you are not welcome here!"

Chi Li didn't talk nonsense with him, and handed a piece of cake to Xiao Douding who ran over to hug him. A man of lofty ideals?"

"What do you want to say?"

"Your child has eaten my pie now, can you ask him to return my pie?"

Uncle Zhuangzi's face was flushed red, and he immediately wanted to grab the child's cake, but he couldn't spit out the food in his mouth, Xiao Douding screamed and avoided him, the more he grabbed it, the more he stuffed it into his mouth.Uncle Zhuangzi was just a scholar with no strength to restrain a chicken, and usually he didn't care about the child, how could he control him, he immediately blew his beard and stared at Feng Xiu'e: "You don't have to worry about him!"

Feng Xiu'e was usually docile, but today she lost her temper: "The child is hungry, why don't you even let him eat! Since you won't let our mother live, then we will divorce! I will follow the child back to my mother's house, at least I can have a bite to eat." Yes, I can't die from starvation..."

Feng Xiu'e hugged the child and cried loudly. Seeing her crying, the child immediately grinned and cried, and the whole family cried into a ball for a while.

Uncle Zhuangzi was stunned, unable to speak for a while, only shaking his hands, "You you you..." kept going.

Chi Li sneered at the side: "You want to abolish the system of favor and shade, and snatch food from the wealthy gentry, but in fact you can't even snatch a piece of cake from a child's mouth."

Uncle Zhuangzi didn't expect Chi Li to have a voice outside the strings, he immediately regained his senses, opened his eyes wide and said, "Even so..."

Scholars can't fight with words, so Chi Li directly interrupted his "casting spell": "You want to study and aspire, you want to educate the world, you want to plead for the people, but tell me, is your wife among the world? Are your sons among the world, and the people you want to ask for your life include them? But in fact, you can’t even feed them.”

"I I I..."

"In your eyes, what do people in the world look like? Selfless? Reasonable? Correct when you know your mistakes? You say that the system of grace and shade is harmful to the country, and they will immediately listen to you, abolish the opportunity for their children and grandchildren to rise to the top, and support your New Deal? Those ordinary people who you think need your life, do you think they will agree with you to abolish the system of grace that benefits their families after they come out?"

Uncle Zhuangzi was already speechless, and only had the strength to breathe, but Chi Li's face remained unchanged, and he continued to give him many fatal blows indifferently: "I think you are begging for the life of the people in the world, so the people in the world must be at least one person, right?" .Then I would like to ask, which country is the person in your mind who doesn’t eat, doesn’t drink, is not greedy for money, and doesn’t like sex? I guess he’s not from Yongguo, right?”

Uncle Zhuangzi: ...

"Your ingenious policy of governing the country must be able to be carried out by exhaling the breath of immortality, right? Then where is your immortal?"

Uncle Zhuangzi: ...

"The eminent monk Du'er is also practicing in the world, but where are you?"

Uncle Zhuangzi's head was buzzing, and he seemed to hear the sound of something collapsing in his ears.

Seeing Uncle Zhuangzi's expression of disintegration, Chi Li didn't say much: "If you don't sweep a house, why sweep the world? If you can figure it out, come to Efa Temple to find me."

Feng Xiu'e also stood in front of him, wiping away her tears: "My son and I have returned to our mother's house. Do you want to look for it or not?"

"My lady..." Uncle Zhuang Zi stretched out his hand weakly. His world was crumbling and destroyed at this moment, and he desperately needed someone to accompany him, but Feng Xiu'e still hugged her son and decided to leave.

……

After going out, Feng Xiu'e changed her previous decision, and said anxiously: "My husband doesn't look right, is it not good for me to leave now? Besides, he can only read books, and he can't even cook. If I leave... ..."

Tan Yushu chuckled: "Sister-in-law, although brother Zhuang and I are good friends, I still have to say that you are a little too used to him."

Feng Xiu'e was ashamed, she lowered her head, and dared not speak.

"Brother Zhuang is smart in learning, but he is very stupid in worldly things. If you don't want to live a foolish life with him, sister-in-law, you should be more tempered. From now on, sister-in-law can talk to my mother more and spend more time with her. She taught you some ways to manage your husband."

"Master Tan is joking, how dare I compare with the old lady."

Feng Xiu'e lowered her head uneasily. She has always regarded her husband as the sky. Today, she has listened to Master Tan's words and said harsh words in front of her husband. This is already the limit. It is impossible to think about it like Mrs. Tan's swift and resolute actions. Dare to think.

Everyone's personality is different, Tan Yushu didn't force it, just smiled and said: "My wife has a long way to go back to her mother's house, so let us see you off, just stay at ease, Brother Zhuang will pick you up soon."

When getting off the car, Tan Yushu handed a piece of cloth to her: "This is a gift for the elderly, please replace Chen."

Feng Xiu'e's eyes were moist, grateful for the blessing.Her parents have one son and four daughters, and they don't like to see their daughters very much. They sent them all out with great difficulty. If they go back empty-handed, they will inevitably be made things difficult by their parents, brother and sister-in-law. Now this piece of cloth can make her life at home easier.

The reason why she is willing to listen to Master Tan's orders is because Master Tan is really an excellent person.

Sending Feng Xiu'e away, Tan Yushu looked at Chi Li in amazement as if he had known Chi Li for the first time: "I used to think of Brother Chi as taciturn, but I never thought that even Brother Zhuang would be no match for you when you talked about it."

Hmph, the reason why he didn't say it before was because he didn't want to.

But listening to the praise of Tan Yushu, the "language master", it really feels different.

Looking at Tan Yushu's bright eyes, Chi Li restrained all his expressions, being cold and cold, this is the demeanor of a master.

Before nightfall, Uncle Zhuangzi came to Efa Temple in a daze, and saw Chi Li with a slumped smile: "I heard that Master Miaofa came from a humble background and didn't know much about Buddhism, but now I realize that this statement is false."

Pond: ...

He didn't expect to make nonsense, and in the eyes of Uncle Zhuang Zi, he became a master of Buddhism?

Tan Yushu clasped his hands together: "That's because what Master Du'er taught is not Buddhist principles, but humanistic principles."

Uncle Zhuangzi chewed on the words "Taoism in the World", and fell to his knees like a thunderclap: "Master, save me!"

Chi Li & Tan Yushu: ...

Amitabha, another fool.
