Hanging pot to help the world, I just want to live forever

Chapter 283
The little paper boat was rippling away into the distance.

That small ripple only has a momentary brilliance when it falls.

There are many paper boats, but compared with the vast river surface, they still seem a bit worthless.

On this day, Gu Dan and Gong Shangguo stayed here and fully participated in a festival in Yuzhou.

At night, there is a large bonfire burning by the river, reflecting the red sky.

Many people sang and danced here, and wealthy families spent their money to buy food, and those who saw it had a share.

According to the local people, this is to let the ancestors see the good life they are living now, so as to comfort their spirits in heaven.

Here, Gu Dan saw not only people from the Xia Dynasty, but also people from Daqing, Daqi and other countries. Their clothing is different from the Xia Dynasty style, so it is easy to identify.

Those people were also involved, as if they didn't know what kind of bitter story was behind it.

Time, a lot of things have been washed away.

In today's era, the hatred among the people of several countries is far less fierce than when the Xia Dynasty was founded, and the more prosperous business is one of the evidences.

Holidays, for many people, are just holidays.

The next day, Gu Dan and Gong Shang Guo continued to ride the little donkey around Yuzhou.

When Gongshang came to a large palace, he was stopped by the guards at the door.

"Stop comers!"

The guards in heavy attire were tall and thick, and their eyes looked like copper bells when they were wide open.

"Ok?"

Gong Shang Guo, who was riding on a donkey, was not at all afraid, "Why?"

"The temple here is under renovation, and it is temporarily closed to the common people. If you want to visit, please wait until the renovation is completed."

The guard looked rough, but he was still respectful.

The reason is naturally that Gongshang Guo has white beard and hair, and he can be seen as a 'renrui' at a glance.

Thanks to the relationship of Confucianism, respecting the old and loving the young can almost be regarded as a tradition in the Xia Dynasty. This kind of old people don't even need to salute when they see the emperor.

"Repair?"

Gongshang glanced sideways, and sure enough, he saw a cart pushing stone slabs passing through the small door, "I can just go in and take a look around?"

"As mentioned above, it is not open to the public now."

said the guard.

"I'm not an exception."

Gong Shang Guo is a bit persistent.

Gu Dan also probably noticed that this place was probably Gongshang's former home.

After running from the imperial capital to Yuzhou, he still wanted to come and have a look.

"Brother, accommodate me."

Gu Dan took out a few liang of silver and wanted to hand it over.

"What are you doing?!"

The guard was startled, and immediately stepped back a few steps, "I have no grievances with you, why do you want to kill me?"

Just looking at the terrified expression on his big and thick face, it seems that he is not lying.

"what."

On the contrary, Gong Shangguo laughed and said: "The owner of this place has something to do with me. When I get old, I want to visit the old place again. If you are worried about us destroying it, you might as well follow us. Look at us. With such a weak appearance, it is impossible to be your opponent.

If you find that our intentions are wrong, you can take it directly, what do you think? "

The guard's copper-bell-like gaze scanned Gongshang Guo and Gu Dan. Seeing Gongshang Guo's sincere expression, he thought for a while and said, "It's not impossible to go in and have a look, but you, a junior, are dishonest. No matter how dare you do this Bribery will be severely punished!"

后辈
The corner of Gu Dan's mouth twitched, a move that was invincible in Dayue, but now it is ineffective.

But isn't this a good thing?

The two tied their donkeys under a tree not far from the door, and walked into the palace together. The tall and thick man followed behind them, and his eyes were mostly on Gu Dan.

"It seems that this trick is not very effective now."

Gu Dan shrugged slightly.

"If the country is rich, the people will be strong, and if the people are strong, they will know propriety."

Gong Shangguo also had a little more smile on his face, seeing Gu Dan deflated was already a rare joy in the journey.

The guard didn't lie to them, the mansion is indeed under renovation.

The color of the attic in the distance has faded. The craftsmen are busy carrying all kinds of wood and stone up and down, and they can vaguely see the prosperity of this place in the past.

"This is a garden, and at the end is a pasture, where you can go hunting directly on horseback."

Gongshang passed his finger in front of him, and introduced the situation here in detail.

But that was a long time ago. Yuzhou at that time was far less prosperous than it is now.

In addition, his father doesn't understand what frugality is, even in Yuzhou, he loves to enjoy it very much, and his style of life in this aspect is really the same.

"The courtyard over there is used to house the beauty. He is very capable of giving birth, and I have many brothers and sisters. In fact, our relationship is not bad, but the adults don't like us."

Gong Shangguo said flatly.

It is not uncommon for a prince who is destined to have no relationship with the throne to be extremely enthusiastic about planting blood.

"Although Emperor Zong Ming treated the people below viciously, his own heirs did not treat them badly."

Gu Dan was a little surprised.

The second prince was demoted to the frontier, and he was able to live such a superior life in Yuzhou, which was indeed beyond his expectation.

"Probably because he's incapable, and he doesn't even bother to suspect Zong Mingdi?"

Gong Shangguo didn't give his biological father any face, and he really looked down on that person. He even regarded his own blood as a shame, and he had never been close to a woman in his life.

The place has been here for a long time, and many places have to be repaired. The two finally found a small pavilion. Gong Shangguo sat on the stone bench and said, "This is his recruiting pavilion. He can hire All the 'sages' will be brought here by him to put on a show."

For ordinary people, what they come here to enjoy is the scenery, but for Gong Shangguo, it is full of stories.

Even if those stories don't sound good, they are true.

After saying this, Gong Shang Guo stopped talking.

The pair of eyes that had already looked dim were looking at everything around them.

Some places are unfamiliar, and some places are familiar.

it's already over.

When it was getting late, Gong Shangguo stood up first, "Let's go."

"Where to go?"

Consultant.

"Go back, there is really nothing to see here."

Gong Shangguo said casually.

"Okay, sir, please."

Gu Dan showed a narrow smile on his face, and came to lead the way for Gong Shangguo.

"Humph."

Gongshang let out a gust of air from the tip of his nose, and glared at Gu Dan, not bothering to make trouble with him.

When walking out of the gate of the mansion, Gu Dan took advantage of Gongshang's effort to lead the donkey, and stopped.

The guards following them said as if they were approaching a formidable enemy: "What else do you need?"

"Have you read the "Shen Nong Baicao Jing Yao" promulgated by the imperial court a few years ago?"

Gu Dan didn't answer, but asked instead.

"Isn't that a medical book? Why should I read a medical book?"

The guard couldn't grasp what he meant.

Of course he knew about that medical book. Nowadays, medical clinics are opening up in various places, and they all use "Shen Nong Baicao Jing Yao" as the treasure of the town hall. Today's Xia Dynasty Prime Minister Xun Ke also admires it in every possible way, and it is impossible not to hear it.

"Let's take a look, maybe there will be something to gain."

Gu Dan smiled, turned and left.

The guard followed them for a long time, but never disturbed them. He was a careful person. Since he refused to collect the money, Gu Dan would not let him work in vain.

However, whether there is any gain or not depends on how careful he is, whether it is enough or not.

Individuals have their own destiny.

Seeing the strange couple riding away on a donkey, the guard scratched his head, and then looked at his big fan-like hand, "Let me read medical books? Heal people with embroidery needles?"

Having said that, I can't help but feel a little curious in my heart.

After all, the other party is far superior to ordinary people in terms of appearance and demeanor.

If he hadn't been taken aback when he handed him the money at the beginning, he would really have thought that a banished immortal had descended from the sky.

Not everyone can make him so accommodating.

Gu Dan and Gong Shangguo started their return journey.

Although Gongshang Guo didn't say anything, Gu Dan could still see that the trip to Yuzhou was the end of his mind, and the aura of being in the officialdom for a long time began to gradually fade.

After getting old, looking at the place where you lived when you were young, it may indeed make a person look away a lot.

In the 48th year of the Xia Dynasty, two people rode donkeys and came to Yuzhou.

"This time, let's go to Yuanhe to have a look?"

The last time I traveled through Yuzhou, I didn't go to the Yuanhe River, and Gongshang Guo never went there in his whole life.

"it is good."

Gu Dan nodded his head.

"Now Yuzhou's political envoy is Cang."

Gongshang Guo became more interested, stroking his gray beard, "The little guy you raised is not ordinary! I have raised hundreds of wives and concubines. When I was still in office, I was able to receive impeachment orders almost every day. The documents all say that he is licentious or something."

"...really unfamiliar."

Gu Dan's complexion was calm, and his heart was like still water.

Cang?
who is it?

I really don't know!

"Hahahahaha!"

Gongshang Guo laughed out loud, out of breath.

If it is necessary to find out any bad deeds for Gu Dan, his biggest bad deed seems to be that he raised such a guy.

With such a good example like him, how could there be such a bastard as Cang?

If you marry, marry, if you are a man, you should be married if you are a woman, if you are a woman, you should marry.

Even Xun Ke and Xiaoying were hooked up by Gu Dan.

But Cang married a lot of people, and even Wang Mang had to say that he was ashamed.

Fortunately, in terms of blood, there is indeed no involvement, otherwise Gu Dan would not be able to clean up by jumping into Yuanhe.

"You."

After laughing, Gong Shangguo shook his head again, and stared at Gu Dan's young face that was enough to make people mad with envy, "When we go to the Buzhou Mountains, we will find out if there are any young girls. Grandmaster. Ordinary women are really difficult to catch your eyes."

Beauty is easy to grow old, and youth is easy to pass away.

If there are real heroes in the world, it is difficult for a beauty to remain sensual.

An ordinary woman really can't accompany him for a long time.

Judging from Gu Dan's almost constant appearance, he might still live for a long, long time. After all, he is a great master, and there is no second one. It is a matter of course for ordinary people to look up to him.

"Is there nothing to do? Why do you say this?"

Gu Dan raised his brows slightly, "Could it be that your heart has sprouted?"

"It sprouted into the soil."

Gong Shangguo curled his lips, and the two of them chattered and came all the way to the edge of the Yuan River.

Today's Yuanhe River was unexpectedly lively.

There are people on both sides beating gongs and drums, and there are people holding boats on the source river to compete.

Just ask anyone casually, and you will know that they are paying homage to a person.

Mo Qiu.

The most holy teacher of the Xia Dynasty, the last giant of the Mohist school.

The Mohist respected frugality, so they didn't throw things into the Yuan River. For such a grand festival, they just held some celebration activities.

What's the point? It's similar to the situation in Yuzhou, but the scale is bigger, there are more people, and it's more lively.

Many people don't wear gorgeous clothes, on the contrary, they wear rough linen clothes, step on the most shabby straw sandals, and ask people everywhere if they need help--only after asking, they will find out in seven days. , as a spontaneous "inker".

This is not just a formal gratitude, they are experiencing the pain of their predecessors.

When Gongshang came here, an 'Mo Zhe' immediately took out his little maza for him to sit down and rest.

Gong Shang Guo sat down without any excuses, and looked around.

On the banks of the Yuan River, the short-brown 'inkers' accounted for a full [-]% of the total, which is already extremely remarkable!
If the Mo family could really have so many people, the prosperity of the Xia Dynasty would have to go up several steps.

However, real Mohist and these temporary Mohist are still easy to distinguish.

Because Mo Zhe's skin looks very dark.

Under the wind and sun, even warriors couldn't bear the hardship. They were all like old peasants in the countryside, and they couldn't pretend to be suffering.

Anyway, that's good enough.

Looking for a shaded place by the Yuan River, Gong Shangguo sat on the ponytail, his eyes seemed to be open or closed, and he said in a daze, "When was the last time we had a drink with Brother Mo?"

Gu Dan's memory is very good, and he immediately remembered, "Zong Ming's 37th year, late spring."

"The 37th year of Zongming."

When mentioning this year at this time, it seems that it has become a very distant past, and Gongshang Guo looked a little dazed.

Gu Tanyin said: "Guanshan is separated and two hearts are in suspense. What kind of ambition is to save Xinghe? Empty with a bloody sword in his hands, he has not slain the adulterer. I sigh that the hero is in danger when he is separated from life and death."

This time, Gong Shangguo thought about it.

He raised his spirits, his youthful ambition appeared on his face, and he continued in a loud voice as if no one else was present: "Ask the heavens full of anger! Ask the heavens, when will Wanliguan Mountain return? Ask the heavens, when will the moonless children be reunited? Ask the heavens, when will you be reunited? Li swung the three-foot sword again!"

The people around heard the voice and looked over.

Gu Dan continued as if he didn't see it, "The temple is wide and strong, and the head of the thief sacrifices to Longquan, but why is the sky full of sorrow and resentment? Oh my god, are you also afraid of power rape, so you can't say it! "

The two said in unison: "The wind, the snow, the roof, the tiles, the sky, and the sky are dangerous. Why do you show your majesty on the heads of the people! It's hard to bury the hero's grievances, so where can you go to take shelter from the wind and cold!"

"Yeah!"

Gongshang Guo laughed loudly, leaning against the big tree behind him, his eyes were a little blurred, "Brother Gu, I'm a little sleepy."

Gu Dan didn't speak.

Gongshang Guo leaned against the tree stump, and slowly closed his eyes.

"What happened?"

Many Mohists attracted by their voices gathered around, and in the gradual slumber, Gong Shangguo was awakened for a moment by the movement of the outside world.

In a daze, he saw a large number of Mohists approaching him, with no end in sight.

so good!
A satisfied smile appeared on Gong Shang Guo's face.

He fell asleep.
