Ming Zuo

Chapter 23
Zuo Menggeng has too much knowledge in his stomach, and Xu Ruolin has too much insight in his mind.

When these two people meet, it is really a golden wind and jade dew that will win but countless people in the world.

Hate to meet each other late, like-minded, like-minded, dry wood and fire, you and me...

Well, there can be no adultery.

There's a light bulb sitting next to it.

Xu Ruolin is a woman, so in Zuo Mansion, the only person who can accompany guests is Zuo Xianmei.

Originally Zuo Xianmei was very excited.

Xu Ruolin is from the south of the Yangtze River and is the granddaughter of the minister of the Ministry of Rites. In addition, Jiangnan has a wealth of treasures and outstanding people. The talented people are like crucian carp crossing the river.

Zuo Xianmei thought that she could get some advice from Xu Ruolin to increase her knowledge and talent.

As a result, Xu Ruolin and Zuo Menggeng got together and opened and closed their mouths about "productivity", "goods", "colonizing overseas" and so on. Her eyes went straight when she heard it, and she fainted.

"Sister Xu, it's too... too degrading."

Zuo Xianmei felt that she had to let Xu Ruolin get lost.

How can you not be a talented woman?

Xu Ruolin laughed out loud, raised her hand and pinched her cheek.

"Simple little girl, this is a university question that governs the world. How many ministers and officials can't ask for a university question."

Zuo Xianmei tried her best to break free from Xu Ruolin's clutches and defended, "If you don't study the scriptures, how can you be sensible? How can you cultivate one's self-cultivation?

In Zuo Menggeng's white eyes, Xu Ruolin cherished her sister very much.

"Silly girl, those scriptures are just a stepping stone to becoming an official in the imperial examination. Do you really think that those officials rely on scriptures to govern the world? If so, why did they go to the Hanlin Academy for apprenticeships after they were inscribed on the golden list?"

Zuo Xianmei felt that her three views were severely impacted.

"Then...then why do the imperial examinations still require these examinations?"

What more Xu Ruolin wanted to say, Zuo Menggeng's words were much heavier.

"Because this court is ill, and it is terminally ill, and there is no cure."

Xu Ruolin and Zuo Menggeng have discussed a lot these days, covering all aspects of family and country, astronomy, geography, humanities and politics.

Many of Zuo Menggeng's views gave her a great shock and great inspiration.

Only Zuo Menggeng's thought of changing the dynasty, revealed inside and outside the words, made her scalp tingle.

Rebellion, is it that easy?

"Master..."

Zuo Rong, who rushed in, broke the atmosphere.

"Master ordered you to change into new clothes quickly and go out with him."

Zuo Menggeng was puzzled.

"Know what?"

Zuo Rong knew a little bit.

"The eldest man whom the master is thinking of has arrived."

It looked like he was going to greet the guests.

Zuo Menggeng didn't dare to neglect, he put on a new robe, and when he came to the front hall, Zhou You was there.

This guy doesn't know why, despite trying to keep his composure, his expression is full of excitement.

"Over the years, if it wasn't for the care and protection of my uncle, my little nephew would not be able to live to this day. Great kindness, my little nephew will never forget it."

Said, Zhou You actually knelt down to Zuo Liangyu.

After Zuo Liangyu returned to the mansion, Zhou You also lived in Zuo's house.It's just that he usually stays alone and doesn't interact with people in the house, which is weird.

I didn't expect such a thing to happen today.

Zuo Liangyu's expression was also agitated, and he stretched out his hand to help Zhou You up.

"My nephew, don't say such slanderous words. Your father's heroic name is admired by the world, how can I stand by in cold blood? From now on, the Zhou family's family will be supported by my nephew. "

Zhou You solemnly said yes, weeping endlessly.

The group went out the door and went straight to the Chaoguan Wharf.

Zuo Menggeng noticed that Zuo Liangyu actually brought two luxurious suede sedan chairs.

Zuofu is the gate, father and son go out either on horseback or on foot, never in a sedan chair.

Although Huang Shi and Zuo Xianmei could sit in sedan chairs, they were only ordinary sedan chairs.

Similar to such a wealthy car, I don't know whether Zuo Liangyu made it now or hired a lot of money.

After a short trip, when we arrived at the Chaoguan Wharf, it turned out to be very lively here.

From a distance, there are many people crowded inside and out.

A tall, arrogant official, who was accompanied by three slightly younger middle-aged scribes, was chatting eagerly about something.

There are several young people on the side, although they dare not make noise, but they are all arrogant and self-contained.

The rest of the people were dressed in luxurious clothes, but they could only stand behind, obviously their status was far worse.

Zuo Menggeng took a closer look and found that except for the official who was not angry and arrogant, the rest of the people actually knew each other.

The three scribes who accompanied him were the three elders of Zhang Haogu.Zhang Zhenxiu, Zhang Zongmeng, and Zhang Haogu's father Zhang Zonghuan.

On the side of the young people, the one who is strong and burly is Liu Yiyuan, who is as famous as Zuo Menggeng.

The young and handsome son who accompanied him was Geng Zhangguang of the Geng family.This man's father, Geng Ruqi, is now the governor of Shanxi.

There was also a bejeweled son beside them, but Zuo Menggeng did not know.

Zhang Haogu stood on the other side boredly, out of tune with these three people.Seeing Zuo Menggeng's figure, he immediately waved happily.

Zuo Menggeng gestured with a smile, but did not go over immediately, but followed Zuo Liangyu to the elder's side.

Zuo Liangyu usually walks like a tiger and is domineering, but at this time, he walked over and looked cautiously for some reason, which made Zuo Menggeng think of servants.

"Zuo Liangyu greets the four adults."

This is the difference between civil and military in the Ming Dynasty.

Not to mention that Zuo Liangyu is just a former military attache, he is also a mere minister.Even if he is a general soldier, he can't raise his head in the face of the civil servants.

Zuo Menggeng thought that Zuo Liangyu would get along and it would be boring to discuss.

What he didn't expect was that the four literati were actually quite kind to him.

Especially the dignified official who also took the initiative to support Zuo Liangyu.

"The two seniors came to the local area, and I am eager to listen to the teachings of the two seniors. I don't want Kunshan to take the lead, which is very annoying."

The three of Zhang Zhenxiu laughed, and their words were all congratulations to Zuo Liangyu.

Zuo Liangyu blushed at the praise.

"It may be that the boss knows that the end of the war is incompetent, and he needs to give some pointers."

Several people joked and laughed, and the official walked in front of Zhou You.

"My nephew..."

The man seemed to be full of words, but in the end it turned into the simplest comfort.

"It's good to be back."

Zhang Zonghuan also said: "What difficulties will my nephew have in the future, even if you look for me, don't want to see outsiders."

Zhouyou couldn't help the tears in his eyes, and he bowed in groups.

"My little nephew, He De and He Neng, all depends on Yu Yin's first examination. I have nothing else to ask for in this life, but I ask for my innocence first, and comfort my ancestors of the Zhou family."

The official groaned angrily.

"Don't worry, all the sages are still in court today, and it is imperative to set things right."

Zhou You finally showed a smile, as if all suffering was over.

Zuo Liangyu looked at Zuo Menggeng and instructed: "What are you doing? Why don't you come forward and listen to the teachings of the adults?"

Zuo Menggeng did not dare to neglect, and saluted respectfully.

"The boy has seen adults and three uncles."

He and Zhang Hao are like brothers and are naturally very familiar with the elders of the Zhang family.

Zhang Zhenxiu looked at Zuo Menggeng with admiration.

"As soon as my nephew went to Liaodong for a long time, his youthful spirit was gone, and he was quite like your father."

Zhang Zonghuan also said: "Nizi met him before, and when he came back to tell him, his insights were quite astonishing. Brother Kunshan, it will be no trivial matter for Linglang to take time."

Zuo Liangyu didn't know what Zuo Menggeng said to Zhang Haogu, but his son was praised, and the father was still inexplicably happy.

Before he could think about it, the crowd suddenly became noisy.

"I'm coming……"

Zuo Menggeng followed everyone's gaze and saw that at the water gate to the south, an official ship turned into the river and went straight to the pier.

The two elegant and distinguished scribes at the bow of the boat, standing against the wind, with their big sleeves fluttering, are truly extraordinary and heartbreaking.

Everyone couldn't help but take a few steps closer, as if they had seen some Uranus superstar.

The official took the lead and clapped his fists to the two scribes, his voice was clear and clear, and it spread all over the world.

"Niantai Gong, Ruogu Gong, after years of separation, the style remains the same!"

The sturdy and generous of the two scholars returned the salute, and the laughter spread far and wide.

"This time going north, Duke Wei Yuan actually greeted him, how can Hou Xun be as good as he is!"

On the boat and on the shore, the dialogue was melodious and joyous, but Zuo Menggeng looked at the scribe on the boat in shock as if he had been electrocuted.

Donglin boss, Zuo Liangyu's most important nobleman appeared.
