Chapter 837 The Banbo Girl by the Qinhuai River, Four Books and Five Classics
"Are you Xiaoshu?"

Xia Dong asked this question that made her feel incredible.

Mei Changsu didn't speak, so Xia Dong looked at Nie Feng and asked Nie Feng for proof.

Nie Feng nodded silently at her.

Xia Dong, who received an affirmative answer, was shocked physically and mentally, she couldn't believe it, and she pointed at Mei Changsu.

"You are Xiaoshu, but, why did you become nothing like before, and your body, you used to clearly..."

She wanted to say that Mei Changsu used to be physically strong, like a burning man, he rarely got sick, let alone afraid of the cold.

As for Mei Changsu in front of him, he was weaker than ordinary people, dressed more thickly than anyone else, and coughed from time to time to avoid the cold.

How can it be possible for the same person to have such a big change and contrast?

Mei Changsu still didn't speak, and it was Li Gang who couldn't help but said: "The suzerain became what he is now because although he survived the Battle of Meiling 12 years ago, he was poisoned by fire and cold. That’s why it became what it is now.”

"Fire and Cold Poison?"

Xia Dong was astonished, and looked at Nie Feng, because she had just heard from Mei Changsu that her husband Nie Feng was poisoned by fire and cold, so he became what he is now.

Li Gang said: "The fire-cold poison is the most strange poison in the world. If you want to completely detoxify it, you will end up like the suzerain."

"Not quite."

Mei Changsu suddenly retorted, and said to the worried Xia Dong: "Sister Dong, what Li Gang said is not entirely correct, the fire-cold poison is indeed the most strange poison in the world, and it is indeed because of the fire-cold poison that I am able to Becoming what I am now does not mean that everyone will become like me, Xiaochen has also been poisoned by fire and cold, but he has become stronger than before."

"Xiao Chen?"

Xia Dong's eyes turned involuntarily to Zhou Chen wearing a Raksha mask, because Mei Changsu seemed to call Luo Sha Xiaochen just now, and the name 'Xiaochen' sounded so familiar to her?
Mei Changsu said to Zhou Chen, "Take off the mask, anyway, Sister Dong already knows, so there's no need to hide your identity."

Under Xia Dong's curious eyes, Zhou Chen slowly took off the Rakshasa mask.

"Gong Ziyu?" Xia Dong exclaimed.

Zhou Chen laughed and said, "Are you surprised?"

Xia Dong was indeed shocked, but she was shocked so many times tonight that she was now resistant.

"Gong Ziyu is a Rakshasa, this is too..."

She really didn't know how to describe it. Gong Ziyu and Luo Sha were both top ten masters, but now they became one person. If this news got out, it would definitely cause an uproar in the world.

Mei Changsu explained: "Gongziyu and Luosha are both Xiaochen's disguised identities. You should have guessed his real identity, Sister Dong."

Xia Dong nodded with a numb expression: "Yes, I guessed it, but I can't believe it. In the past, the little guy who was always sick, loved to cry, and was loved by others, turned into a world-renowned master. If it wasn't for Knowing that you will not lie to me, I will never believe it."

Zhou Chen's expression was awkward, and he snorted dissatisfiedly: "I was always sick when I was young, but when did I love to cry?"

Mei Changsu teased and said, "You have to admit this, you were often bullied and cried by me when you were young."

Looking at Mei Changsu and Zhou Chen in front of her, Xia Dong seemed to be in a dream. She couldn't see the shadow of Lin Shu and Zhou Chen in the past from these two people, but she clearly understood that they were Lin Shu. And Zhou Chen, it's just that they have undergone earth-shaking changes in terms of appearance and personality.

"Xiaoshu, Xiaochen, it's really great that you are alive. I always thought you were dead, and I even hated you for many years. I, I'm sorry for you."

When she said these words, this strange woman who was always cold-faced and iron-blooded in front of outsiders couldn't stop shedding tears of guilt.

She was so ashamed of her anger and hatred for the past 12 years, 12 years, hating the wrong people, blaming the wrong people.

Now it was the person she had hated for so many years who helped her find the love of her life.

Nie Feng tightly held Xia Dong's hands, he did not stop Xia Dong from apologizing, because he understood Xia Dong's self-blame and guilt.

Zhou Chen and Mei Changsu looked at each other, and in the end Mei Changsu comforted us: "Sister Dong, you didn't feel sorry for us, you were just deceived, the hateful people are Xia Jiang and Xie Yu, they are the ones who caused this Everything, we never blamed you."

Xia Dong said painfully: "Thank you, Xiao Shu, although you didn't blame me, I hated myself, why can't I tell, I failed your trust, I shouldn't doubt you, I'm sorry, I'm really sorry. "

After a long time, Xia Dong slowly calmed down.

"So, why did you return to the capital this time?"

Mei Changsu said, "Reverse the case."

Zhou Chen said: "Revenge."

Xia Dong nodded, and a ruthless expression suddenly appeared on his face: "Yes, the case should be overturned, and revenge should be taken. Revenge must be done."

Although she is a woman, she also has a clear distinction between love and hate. Whether it is for a friend she knew in the past or for her husband who has suffered 12 years of crimes, she will not bear this tone.

"What are you going to do, I will fully cooperate with you."

Mei Changsu said: "Thank you, Sister Dong, but we already have a plan, if we need your help in the future, we will come to you again."

Xia Dong frowned and said: "Your plan is to support King Yu to the throne, and then use King Yu to reverse the case and take revenge? But King Yu has almost the same personality as His Majesty today, the same mean and ungrateful, if he can agree today, he will do so tomorrow." It’s simply unbelievable to be able to backtrack on your promise.”

Mei Changsu said calmly, "Who said I chose King Yu?"

Xia Dong was stunned: "It's not King Yu, who is that? Could it be."

She suddenly thought of a person, and said in surprise, "Prince Jing?"

Mei Changsu smiled and didn't answer, but Xia Dong knew the answer, and she took a deep breath.

"If it is King Jing, he is trustworthy, but the key point is, compared to the crown prince and Prince Yu, he has no foundation, how could he possibly win over them?"

For the previous 12 years, she had always been dissatisfied with Prince Jing, because Prince Jing did not believe that the Red Flame Army was rebellious, but now that she knew the truth, she naturally no longer had the slightest dissatisfaction with Prince Jing.

Mei Changsu said to himself, "If it's not the end, who will know the result?"

Xia Dong nodded, understanding Mei Changsu's meaning, she didn't try to persuade him, but said: "If there is anything that needs my help, I will definitely help with all my strength."

She is the envoy of Xuan Jing Division, and she has great power. With her power, if she wants to do it, she can accomplish many things.

At this moment, the door was pushed open, and Dr. Yan walked in with a straight face.

"If you don't rest at such a late hour, do you really not take your body seriously?"

After Mei Changsu was scolded, he immediately showed embarrassment, and hurriedly explained: "Isn't this talking about something?"

Dr. Yan didn't give any face at all: "You've been talking for so long, isn't it enough? Take a rest."

"Oh." Mei Changsu replied pitifully.

Xia Dong looked at this scene with a confused face, what's going on?
Zhou Chen explained: "Xiao Shu's health is not good, staying up late hurts his body, this is Dr. Yan, and he is mainly responsible for Xiao Shu's health."

Xia Dong nodded in relief. Although it was strange for a suzerain to be reprimanded by a doctor, considering Mei Changsu's body, it really needed to be taken care of.

Mei Changsu said to Li Gang: "Li Gang, Brother Nie's room has been tidied up, you can take Brother Nie and Sister Dong to the room to rest."

"Yes, Sect Master."

Both Xia Dong and Nie Feng stood up, Mei Changsu wanted to see them off, but Zhou Chen held them down.

"Okay, you rest, Li Gang and I just take them there."

Zhou Chen led Xia Dong and the others out of Mei Changsu's room and walked towards another courtyard.

Xia Dong kept supporting Nie Feng, fearing that Nie Feng would leave her side. As long as Nie Feng was by her side, she would feel extremely at ease.

She glanced at Zhou Chen who was leading the way ahead, and suddenly asked, "Xiao Chen, you've been back in the capital for so long, have you ever returned home?"

"Home? Which home are you talking about?" Zhou Chen's tone was full of sarcasm.

Xia Dong paused for a moment, feeling that he didn't ask well, so he asked again: "Then have you ever visited your mother? It's been 12 years, Princess Pingyang must miss you very much."

Zhou Chen said lightly: "I will go when the time comes."

He knew that his mother had already guessed him, but he was not yet ready for the official meeting.

After leading them to the room, Li Gang tidied up and left. Only Zhou Chen and Nie Feng were left in the room.

"Brother Nie will live here from now on. As for Sister Dong, you are now the envoy of the Xuanjing Division. For the safety of Brother Nie and Xiaoshu, I think you'd better not stay here for too long."

Xia Dong's complexion changed, and then he said firmly: "I am very satisfied to see Brother Feng again, as long as it is for Brother Feng's benefit, I can accept anything."

Nie Feng looked at Xia Dong tenderly with both eyes. Although he couldn't speak, Xia Dong could understand what he wanted to say with his eyes.

Looking at the two people who were deeply in love, Zhou Chen coughed dryly: "Although I don't want to disturb you, there is something I still want to say."

Xia Dong and Nie Feng recovered and looked at Zhou Chen at the same time.

"Brother Nie's poison of fire and cold must be resolved as soon as possible, so I have to go to my senior brother Lin Chen to help him detoxify as soon as possible. I will set off in two days and try to come back before the year. Just listen to Xiao Shu's arrangement; if you want to see Big Brother Nie, Sister Dong, it's best to come alone at night, and you must not expose it. It's good that Xia Jiang is not in the capital now, but when he returns to the capital, you must be more cautious."

He remembered that Xia Jiang returned to the capital after Xie Yu fell from power, but he still had to take precautions, in case something went wrong that caused Xia Jiang to return early, he had to be prepared.

Xia Dongdao: "I understand what you mean, for Brother Feng, for Xiao Shu and Xiao Chen's plan, I will control myself, but you said that you want to find your senior brother, and now the Chinese New Year is only less than a month away , can you make it in time?"

"Don't worry, I have a way to find him as quickly as possible. More than 20 days is enough time. During this period of time, Xiaoshu will still take action. I am not very worried about this. What I am worried about is his body. Although Dr. Yan is here, he can't control Xiao Shu, so sometimes I still need Brother Nie to take care of him."

Nie Feng nodded without hesitation: "Ah, ah..."

"Brother Nie, if you are really uncomfortable, you can go to Fei Liu, and his Xiyang Jue can also help you."

"Okay, I won't disturb your two-person world, I'll go first."

Zhou Chen waved his hands at them, and then left the room, but before he could walk out of the yard, Xia Dong chased him.

"Sister Dong, is there anything else?"

"There is indeed something."

Xia Dong's expression was a little hesitant, but he still spoke.

"It's about Nihuang."

"I understand what you mean. I really have nothing to do with her. She has a marriage contract with Xiaoshu, and I have someone I like. You have met Gong Yu before, so nothing will happen to us, don't worry. "

Xia Dong gave Zhou Chen a white look: "It's because of this that I am more worried. I know Nihuang's character. She treats you differently from others, but she has an engagement with Xiaoshu. If she knows that you and Xiaoshu Even with her tough personality, it will definitely be very painful."

Zhou Chen said: "I really have nothing to do with her. Even if she treats me a little differently, a moment of pain is better than a lifetime of pain."

Xia Dong said angrily: "You men really don't understand women's hearts at all. If things are as simple as you think, that's fine. Forget it, I can't control the affairs of the three of you, but no matter what, I don't want Ni Huang has been hurt, she has really suffered all these years, more than me."

Thinking of Nihuang, she really felt pity in her heart. She had been in pain for 12 years, and now her husband is back.

But what about Nihuang, her brother Lin Shu is still alive and has come back, but she happened to meet another man she likes, and what's worse, this man is still her former playmate, Lin Shu's friend brother.

This complicated relationship gave her an outsider a headache even thinking about it, let alone Mu Nihuang who was the party involved.

"Time can dilute everything." Zhou Chen said quietly.

In all honesty, how could he not appreciate such an excellent woman as Mu Nihuang, among all the women he has ever met, there is absolutely no one who is similar to Mu Nihuang.

It's just that he also knows the difference between appreciating liking and true love, and also knows the truth that a friend's wife should not be bullied, so he can restrain himself in time.

Seeing Zhou Chen leave, Xia Dong sighed, then he was shocked and walked into the room quickly.

Zhou Chen left the capital in the afternoon of the second day.

…………

Time flies, and 20 days have passed in a blink of an eye.

By the Qinhuai River!

Zhou Chen was dragged by Lin Chen with a displeased expression on his face. He found Lin Chen a few days ago. He originally wanted to drag him back to Jinling City, but who knew that this guy insisted on a condition before he would go to Jinling. Otherwise, he would not go if he was killed.

No, Zhou Chen was dragged by him to the Qinhuai River.

"If you want to go, figure out your own way, why do you have to drag me?"

Lin Chen laughed and said, "Don't think I don't know, you have a very close relationship with Miss Wanbo, if I go, people may not see me, but if I bring you, she will definitely show up."

Zhou Chen showed helplessness, and said: "I have been with Miss Banbo for a while, but our relationship is equal, and she is not my vassal, so you are embarrassing me."

Lin Chen said: "Since Miss Wanbo was listed on the list of top ten beauties and became famous all over the world, countless people came to Qinhuai River and wanted to meet her, but very few people could see her. You have been the only guest of the Banbo girl these years, and if you come forward, the Bangbo girl will definitely give face."

"In Jinling City, the music of Miaoyinfang, the dance of Yangliuxin, and the Jieyu flower of Hongxiu Zhao are all top-quality, but compared with the flower boats on the Qinhuai River, it's hard to say which one is better, but absolutely no one can compare. On the Lampo girls, there are songs, dances, beauties, and all the Lampo girls.”

"It's a pity that she has seldom shown up in the past few years. Some people offered thousands of taels of silver just to see Miss Wanbo, but they didn't succeed. I can't afford a higher price, so I can only look for you. As long as you My wish has been fulfilled, and I promise to go to Jinling with you immediately."

Zhou Chen thought for a while and said, "Then it's settled. If you still don't agree after meeting, I can only use force against you and tie you up."

"Easy to say, easy to say."

When he met Lin Chen, who was so shameless, Zhou Chen had no choice but to agree with him.

However, in this cold and twelfth lunar month, there were already no flower boats on the Qinhuai River, so if you wanted to see Wanbo, you had to go to her residence.

There are not many people in the whole world who know where Wanbo lives, and Zhou Chen is one of the few who do.

Two hours later, Zhou Chen brought Lin Chen to a courtyard.

"Is this here? It looks a bit remote?"

Lin Chen looked around, just walking all the way, he felt very surprised, never thought that Wanbo would live in such a remote place.

"Da Yin lives in the city, do you understand?"

Zhou Chen rolled his eyes, women in this era, even if they are famous, their social status is still not that high.

Wanbo usually performs on the flower boats on the Qinhuai River, and there are quite a few people who know her, but she doesn't want to cause unnecessary trouble, so she lives in this relatively remote place.

Coming to the gate of the house, Zhou Chen knocked vigorously, and soon the door was opened, and an old man with gray temples walked out.

"Young master, you are here."

Seeing Zhou Chen, the old man seemed very happy: "A few days ago, the girl mentioned you, son."

Zhou Chen asked, "Is your girl doing well recently?"

The old man said truthfully: "After the weather got cold, the girl didn't go on the boat again. She just stayed at home and composed lyrics and music. Occasionally, friends would come to visit."

"Master, come in quickly, the girl will be very happy to see you."

"Thank you, Xue Bo."

Zhou Chen followed Xue Bo and walked into the yard. Because it was the twelfth lunar month of winter, most of the plants in the yard were in a withered state, only the plum blossoms were in full bloom, and they were fragrant.

"My lord, the girl is in the courtyard, so I won't send you there."

"Okay, thank you Xue Bo."

Zhou Chen led Lin Chen through the arch and walked inside.

"The environment here is good, and it's quite quiet, very suitable for recuperation."

Zhou Chen ignored him and continued walking. Suddenly, there was a pleasant sound of the piano. Hearing the sound of the piano, both of them couldn't help but stop.

After half a stick of incense, the sound of the piano stopped. Zhou Chen smiled slightly and strode into the courtyard.

The sound of Zhou Chen's footsteps caught the attention of the people in the room. Two women walked out of the room. One of them was delicate and beautiful, with skin as thick as snow, just like a fairy from the Guanghan Palace who came out of a painting, and the other was also handsome. , Xiaojiabiyu, pure and lovely.

Seeing Zhou Chen walk into the courtyard, the beautiful woman immediately beamed with joy.

"My lord, when did you come?"

Zhou Chen stepped forward, grabbed the woman's showy hand without hesitation, and said softly: "I heard your piano sound just now when I came in, playing the piano for such a long time in such a cold day, in case you hurt your hand , I will be distressed."

The beautiful woman said with a gentle smile: "It's okay, I just feel bored. I haven't figured out how to compose the poems you gave me before, but I'm just trying it out recently."

"Then you have to pay attention, your body is so delicate, I don't want you to suffer from exhaustion."

As soon as Zhou Chen finished speaking, there was a sound of breathing.

"what……"

Zhou Chen turned his head dissatisfied, and shouted: "You are really annoying, can you stop spoiling the scenery?"

Lin Chen said, "It's not that I want to spoil the scenery, but it's such a cold day. If you are afraid of the cold, can you go into the room and talk about it?"

The most beautiful woman is the Qinhuaihe Wanbo girl on the list of top ten beauties. Her appearance is slightly better than Princess Nihuang and Gong Yu, especially her delicate and charming appearance, which is even more pitiful and distressing.

Zhou Chen traveled to the Qinhuai River a few years ago, and was immediately amazed by her, and then started pursuing like other suitors.

Relying on his rich experience, as well as his excellent ability of "creating" poems, composing music and singing, it took him less than a month to successfully capture the trust of the Wanbo girl. The only guest of Miss Bo.

Before he was with Wanbo, he always thought that Wanbo was a famous prostitute, but after getting together, he realized that although Wanbo also performed on the Qinhuai River, her boat was her own, and she did not perform well. Not for making money, but out of interest.

In a word, it is a bit similar to the big stars of later generations, and Wanbo is the big star of this era, the big star on the Qinhuai River.

It's just limited by the times. In the eyes of others, her behavior is self-sacrificing and depraved, equivalent to a nobleman on a flower boat.

Zhou Chen took Wanbo's hand and walked into the house. Don't think that Wanbo lives in such a remote place, but in fact she is very rich, because her parents did business on the Qinhuai River, and she inherited She lost her parents' business and money, so she is actually a veritable rich woman.

Zhou Chen looked at Lin Chen who followed, and introduced to Wan Bo: "Wan Bo, this is my senior brother, Lin Chen, he is the current pavilion master of Langya Bang, if you encounter any troubles in the future, you can find him, If he doesn't help, I'll clean him up for you."

"Hey, hello, junior brother, I'm your senior brother, you want to deal with me?"

Lin Chen yelled in dissatisfaction, and then said to Wanbo with a happy face: "Miss Wanbo, although he is unreliable, he is right. If Miss Wanbo has something to do in the future, you can go directly to Langya Mountain is looking for me."

Wan Bo saluted gracefully: "Young Master Lin."

Seeing Lin Chen standing there with a smile on his face, Zhou Chen scolded dissatisfiedly, "Can you have a little discernment? Didn't you see that we have something to say?"

"You, fine, count yourself as ruthless."

Lin Chen was so angry that his teeth itch, he pointed at Zhou Chen, and left unwillingly.

Wan Bo pursed his lips to cover his smile: "You two brothers have such a good relationship."

"He's just this guy, you can't be too polite with him, but don't look at him as a fool, but he's actually very reliable. With our relationship, as long as you ask, he will definitely not refuse to help."

Zhou Chen and Lin Chen have known each other for more than ten years, and they have been together every day for several years on Langya Mountain. They have a deep relationship and know Lin Chen's personality best.

Wan Bo said: "I really have one thing, can you ask Mr. Lin to remove my name from the list of top ten beauties?"

"You don't want to be on the list?"

"Well, it's going to cause me too much trouble."

"Okay, I'll tell him later that next year's Langya list of top ten beauties won't have your name on it, but if you do this, it's like telling the world that you've already got someone, you don't mind ?"

Wan Po smiled and said: "Of course I don't mind, this is the truth, isn't it?"

Zhou Chen gently took her into his arms, and asked softly, "Do you really not want to go to Jinling with me?"

Wan Bo leaned against Zhou Chen's chest, listening to Zhou Chen's heartbeat.

"My grandparents all lived in this land, so I don't want to leave here. I still prefer sailing on the Qinhuai River than staying at home with my husband and children."

With more than 20 years of habit, she doesn't want to just give up. Although she also loves Zhou Chen very much, she also has her own pursuit.

"Maybe I'll go to you when I get bored in the future, but I don't know if you will still want me by then."

Zhou Chen gently stroked her cheek: "No matter when, as long as I am still here, I will be waiting for you."

"With your words, I am relieved."

…………

When Zhou Chen left the capital to find Lin Chen, many things happened in the capital.

First of all, Emperor Liang restored the title of Concubine Yue, the crown prince's biological mother, which aroused the dissatisfaction of King Yu. Under Mei Changsu's instigation, King Yu risked being dissatisfied by Emperor Liang, so he came to the court to discuss the ceremony. strategy.

In the end, with the help of Mei Changsu, Mr. Zhou Xuanqing, a great Confucianist who was out in the field, was invited. With his own strength, Mr. Zhou Xuanqing overwhelmed the many people invited by the prince, and successfully helped King Yu win this court. Debate.

Outside Jinling City, Mei Changsu, dragging his sick body, bid farewell to Mr. Zhou Xuanqing in person.

Before Zhou Xuanqing left, he talked very congenially with Mei Changsu, and made no secret of his love for Mei Changsu.

Mei Changsu also had great respect for old Mr. Zhou Xuanqing, and he was full of guilt for inviting this old gentleman here in the cold winter months for his own plan.

When parting, Mei Changsu solemnly took a sandalwood box from Li Gang.

"Mr. Su, you have no way to repay your kindness. This junior prepared it for you."

Zhou Xuanqing just glanced at it, and then said: "I can come because of Brother Li, there is no other reason, so you take back the things."

Mei Changsu hurriedly said: "The old man misunderstood. This junior knows that the old man is a master of the world and doesn't care about mundane things. This is not a thank you gift. There is a book in this wooden box, which is one of mine. He is also a disciple of Confucianism. Combining Confucian works, he put forward the theory of "Four Books and Five Classics", and also wanted to annotate the Four Books. Unfortunately, his energy is limited. So far, only one volume has been produced. "University Chapters", this volume is in the wooden box."

Zhou Xuanqing's complexion suddenly changed, and he asked anxiously, "Four Books and Five Classics? Which Four Books, which Five Classics?"

Mei Changsu replied: "The four books he proposed are "The Analects", "Mencius", "University", and "The Doctrine of the Mean". Book of Changes, Spring and Autumn Annals."

After Zhou Xuanqing heard this, his eyes suddenly burst into bright light: "Four Books and Five Classics, Four Books and Five Classics, good, good, this is a pioneering proposal, good."

"Who is that friend of yours, where is he now, can I let the old man meet?"

Fortunately, the Five Classics were mentioned in the Han Dynasty, but when it was mentioned in the Four Books, he still heard about it once.

Mei Changsu said: "My good friend is not in the capital now, but he will come back a few years ago. If the old man wants to see him, he can stay in the capital temporarily and wait for his return."

"Aren't you in Jinling?"

Zhou Xuanqing showed disappointment. At this moment, he really had the urge to stay, but he thought that if he stayed, the next days might not be clean.

"Forget it, Jinling is a place of right and wrong, I don't want to get involved in these right and wrong, little friend, if your friend comes back, you tell him, the old friend is waiting for you at Lingyin Temple."

"Don't worry, old man, I will tell you that my good friend also admires the old man very much, I believe he will definitely go, please wait for the old man, he will definitely not let you down." Mei Changsu said without hesitation. Zhou Chen was sold.

"Old sir, this book?"

Zhou Xuanqing didn't refuse any more, and solemnly took the sandalwood box with both hands. Although he hasn't read the contents yet, he feels that he won't be disappointed.
