"Who is this Du Zimu? Why is there such a commotion? His servant is crazy!" Immediately, a scholar asked his old friend in a low voice.

"Jingzhao Du's family, a great family in Guanzhong." The scholar who was questioned glared at his friend, with envy and regret on his face.

The Du family is a wealthy family in Guanzhong. They moved in from Nanyang in the Taizong Dynasty, and they have been three princes for many generations.In recent generations, the Du family has devoted themselves to preaching and receiving employment, and none of them has become an official. However, their prestige in society is extremely high, and they belong to leaders among literati.Now the head of the Du family is Du Ling, a great Confucian, and Du Zimu is his youngest son!Du Zimu became famous at a young age and was known as a "child prodigy". He was a top-notch figure among many brothers, but he behaved perversely. In recent years, he became more and more arrogant, and even Mr. Du couldn't persuade him.The Confucian who used to annotate the Five Classics disappeared, and was replaced by Du Zimu who entered the novel and became more and more deviant.

"The Du family has been a great Confucian for generations, how could it trample on the Confucian classics like this?" Some of the scholars looked at the books that had been swept to the ground, and they couldn't see it. "This man claims to be Du Zimu, how can he prove it?"

"Our young master has to prove that he is himself?" Before Du Zimu could answer, his servant shouted at the scholar.He turned his scholar's face red.This was not over yet, he picked up a book of scriptures, walked up to the scholar, asked questions again and again, full of the way of Confucius and Mencius, and even forced the scholar to be speechless, and had to cover his face and leave for a while.The servant is so good, let alone the master?As a result, many people believed that this handsome man in green shirt was Du Zimu.

"I don't know what Mr. Du wants to do here?" The shopkeeper came forward, cupped his hands towards Du Zimu, and asked respectfully.

"There is no need for these scriptures. How many people read them? Only relying on the footnotes on the classics, I'm afraid they won't be able to comprehend them for the rest of their lives," Du Zimu said lightly. He stroked his sleeves, raised his eyelids, and said , "I think it's good to have these novels I brought on the bookshelf."

"Isn't the lotus seat on the Fengliu platform for able-bodied people to preach? I, Du Zimu, sit here. If someone comes up to refute me, he will naturally be the master of this platform."

After hearing Du Zimu's words, the shopkeeper squinted his eyes, bowed his hands to Du Zimu, and then retreated behind the counter, making up his mind to ignore this matter, as if everything was said by Du Zimu.

There is no shortage of arrogant and arrogant scholars in Beijing, and literati have long been neglected. If they can step on the faces of the Du family as a springboard, why not be famous all over the world?For a while, many people were eager to try.It's just that Du Zimu is eccentric, like an outlier among Confucianists, but after all, his family has profound knowledge, and he despises some scriptures because he is familiar with it. After a while, those who came to the stage to fight with each other were defeated.

Gao Luoshen and Gao Chun hid in a corner and watched a good show.

"You invited Du Zimu back?" Gao Chun's eyelashes trembled.Du Zimu's temper should have followed his father's.The legendary Confucian Du Ling, when the prince asked him to come out of the mountain to be the prince and tutor, he was flatly rejected, and he just stayed in the academy to teach his children.The Du family has a strong character and will not be moved by power.

"It's better to say that he came to the door by himself." Gao Luoshen responded lightly.Du Zimu is very interested in storytelling, so she will provide a place for storytelling.Everything that happened before my eyes was planned.Scholars in Jingzhong denounced novels as nonsense, and now they have to use these small-tao storytellers to slap them in the face before they notice this.In less than three days, the name of Du Zimu will resound throughout the capital.Although he, Du Zimu, took Confucianism as the topic of the debate, he put aside the Confucian classics and provided a novel on the case. This storybook will definitely arouse the attention of many people.

"For the business of the scholar's house, you really put a lot of thought into it." Gao Chun chuckled.

Is it just for business?Gao Luoshen didn't answer, she smiled at Gao Chun, and finally hid her true thoughts.

Du Zimu's scholar who was no longer reckless came to the stage. He stroked the barely visible dust on his clothes, and sat back on the lotus platform again. He said slowly, "Du Zimu is also a man in my stomach."

There are also quite a few common people in the scholar's house who like to read lively and obedient scripts. The word Du Zimu is nothing to them. They are just watching the excitement, but when they hear the word "people in their belly", they immediately become excited .In the storybook, "Four Dreams in the Belly" is widely circulated, and they are all written by a person named "Man in the Belly".The scene of love and moon, the words of love are charming, but the reasoning is also penetrating, alerting the dreamer.The "Four Dreams in the Belly" has been adapted by the theater troupe, but they still like to read the original script.It's just that according to the rumors, this "man in the stomach" is elusive, and no one knows where he will be.

A big man easily squeezed the thin scholar away, stood in front, and said loudly: "Will Mr. Du stay in the scholar's house to talk?"

"Yes, yes, when will Mr. Du release a new story?"

Du Zimu smiled when he heard such a question, and said clearly: "Thanks to everyone's love, Du will stay in Beijing. Tomorrow is not too late, in this scholar's house, Du will tell you a new story." My story is called "The Phantom of Flowers in Beijing"! I hope everyone will come and support me!" Scholars are only polite and honest, and are bound by various rules, but Du Zimu is not.When he was not moving, he had a suave air, but when he was moving, he was tainted with the ease of a warrior and the uninhibitedness of a wanderer.

""The Phantom of the Flower in Beijing"? It sounds interesting." Gao Chun smiled slightly.

Gao Luoshen's eyes flickered, and he said with a smile: "If Chun'er is interested, you can come and listen to it tomorrow. After Mr. Du has finished telling this story, some new books should be engraved in the near future, and it will be spread by then."

"Engrave the book?" Gao Chun raised his eyebrows and asked.

Gao Luoshen blinked, and said with a narrow smile: "A good story should naturally be spread widely, how can it be limited to people in one place?"

Gao Chun nodded, and asked again: "This matter is not simple, what is the second sister's plan?"

She is really a heroine, she can guess everything.Gao Luoshen thought secretly, with a calm expression on his face, as if everything had nothing to do with her.

Seeing Gao Luoshen's attitude, Gao Chun didn't ask any further questions, but pretended to mention casually: "The Du family has appeared, and the scholar's house will be lively." Many people will follow suit.Now that the reserve position is vacant, if anyone can pull the Du family, it will be helpful for future actions.Was it really an accident that Du Zimu came here this time?Duke Dingguo's government leans towards King Qin. Is this the father's arrangement, or is it her own initiative?Her behavior is increasingly unpredictable, interesting but also troublesome.

Gao Luoshen saw Gao Chun's eyes move, she pretended not to understand, just smiled, put on a naive attitude, and asked, "Isn't this very good?"
