v2 Chapter 20： Dare not call yourself a scholar

"This is Qingzhou City? The courtyard wall is so high!" Wei Xiaozhuang stood in front of Qingzhou City, looked up at the towering cloud wall, and exclaimed in awe.

Li Yan laughed beside him: "This is the city wall."

"Well the walls, I know, I heard Master said." Wei Xiaozhuang looked just as if I had misrepresented, and said solemnly: "But not as exaggerated as Master said, he said that there is a city wall that is as high as a mountain, hum ,boast."

Li Xun smiled. As Pinglu Zhizhou, Qingzhou City had a high ditch, but it was incomparable with Changan, so Li Xun had no feeling.

When entering the city with the carriage, the sergeant at the gate of Weiwei turned the box and checked the carriage. It was not that Qingzhou was under martial law, but that the three of them were walking, but they were carrying an empty carriage.

The sergeant didn't see anything. He looked at Li Wei and others strangely. His sight stayed on Su Emei for a long time, and he finally waved his hand to let them enter the city.

Passing through the gate of the city gate, the eyes suddenly opened up, looking at the bustling crowd of people on the wide and long streets, dense and tall houses on both sides of the street, Wei Xiaozhuang pretending not to enter the city for the first time, he couldn't hold back anymore, see Your eyes are straight.

"Don't be dazed, hurry up." Su Emei passed by him, reminding him in a low voice.

Wei Xiaozhuang quickly followed, and accidentally bumped into a Jinyi man, causing the other side to glared. He quickly nodded with a smile, trot to Su Emei, Wei Xiaozhuang looked around in awe, and lowered his voice: " Sister, there are so many people here, and the houses are so large, and they look almost the same. How can we find the Cui family? "

Su Emei also straightly beat the drum, glanced at Li Zhe's back, and forced to calm down: "What's the matter, isn't there Li Gongzi? At first glance, he often enters the city, surely knows the way."

"It makes sense." Wei Xiaozhuang nodded, fortunately, "Fortunately, I met Brother Li, otherwise this errand would be really difficult." He said that he followed the two steps in a hurry.

"Go and sell the carriage first," Li Yan said to Wei Xiaozhuang and Su Emei. "Go to the market to find a carriage and horse, and then we will go to Cui's house."

Wei Xiaozhuang was dizzy, he didn't know what the market and the car and horse shop existed, so he nodded and agreed: "Everyone listens to Brother Li."

Li Yan looked back at Su Emei, the other person still looked as usual, not like the six gods without Wei Xiaozhuang. In the words of the previous life, the goddess Fan Er is still the goddess Fan Er, but Li Yan still keenly found out that Su Emei gripped The sword's fingers were slightly tightened.

After all, pedestrians on the street, regardless of their ages, men, women and children, will turn around and look at Su Emei, and some little women will laugh together, not all because of Su Emei's stunning looks, but also because she wears Li Sloppy robes.

Originally, no woman wore a robe. This was not a robe. Although Su Emei's long legs were tall, she was worse than Li Yan. This robe did not fit well.

Accepting the attention of almost everyone on the street, Su Emei, who walked the rivers and lakes and entered the city for the first time, could not be nervous at all. Li Xun wondered that before going to Cui's house, she had to change her clothes. This is nondescript, no When it comes to what the Cui family thinks, she is not alone.

When the carriage was sold by the chariot, the other party gave Li Ao a large sack of copper coins, about ten pounds. This is the way to buy and sell goods in this era. When large households purchase valuables, they often let their servants go out with a few big bags of copper coins. They are full of momentum, and of course, it is not convenient. .

"So much?" Su Emei couldn't help but be surprised. When she returned the carriage money to Li Yan, she gave one ...

"Are these copper coins different from the copper coins we brought?" Wei Xiaozhuang came over, glanced at the money bag, and then looked at Li Yan in a tangled mood: "Same!"

"Different and different, the copper coins brought by your Taoist temple are relatively rare." Li Yan was afraid that Su Emei and Wei Xiaozhuang would be embarrassed.

Su E's eyebrows blushed at once, and she gave Li Yan an angry look: "Do you think I'm stupid?"

She is now reacting, she owes Li Yan a lot of money. Looking at the merchant at the time, he ran without a shadow while holding the gold. It was estimated that the mass of gold was more valuable.

But Li Zhi didn't mention these things, which made Su Emei deeply feel Li Li's generosity, but she felt guilty.

"Money and money are all things outside the body, walking in rivers and lakes, with the right words, saying that these vulgarities are not vulgar?" Li Yan immediately looked up, using the tones of Jianghu's predecessors, and took a serious lesson, and handed the money bag to Wei Xiaozhuang. Take your money! "

Su E frowned, looked at Li Yan, and blinked with doubtful eyes.

Wei Xiaozhuang was at a loss with a big bag of money.

"Let's go and change clothes." Li Yan waved his hand. "If you don't want to be watched all the time."

Su E's eyebrows were slightly embarrassed. It was indeed uncomfortable to be stared at, but she had to spend money on changing clothes. Her delicate brows frowned together and seemed very tangled.

Li Xi played machoism at the right time. Without a word, with the two, he found an elegant silk satin village and selected ready-made clothes for Su Emei. The small satin village with a storefront was only selling cloth without ready-made clothes.

When choosing clothes, Su Emei was embarrassed. She couldn't wear all kinds of light shirts and skirts, because the colors were too bright and the decoration was too gorgeous, which totally did not meet her aesthetics. From her perspective These clothes cannot be worn.

The more clothes she looked through, the more precious the shopkeeper introduced, the lower her head became, the more cramped her ears became, the more red the ears became, and the red became so bright that she finally couldn't stand it and had to go. Get her a robe.

After working for a long time, Li Yan finally took two Taoists to the Cui family's mansion.

"Cui Keli?" Li Yan heard the name of Su Emei, and a majestic white-bearded old man appeared in his head.

The gatekeeper of the Cui family heard that everyone wanted to see Cui Keli, his eyes were a little weird, like looking at a fool, looking at him, if it was not for Su Emei and Wei Xiaozhuang, it was for the sake of the Taoists, they would not go in to report.

"Have you seen this Cui Keli?" Li Min asked Su Emei and Wei Xiaozhuang.

The two shook their heads, and Su Emei explained: "Although Master said that Taoism was often aided by the other side, he never came to Taoism."

Li Xun didn't ask any more. Cui Keli had heard of it. The memory of this life told him that before Cui's death, he often pronounced the name, like her brother or something.

The crowd waited in the concierge for a long time, and when Wei Xiaozhuang was getting impatient, a middle-aged servant finally came out from behind the shadow wall, wearing a linen blue shirt, the corners of his clothes had been washed white, and his shoes were also stepping on his shoes. I waited for others to salute: "Everyone comes from afar, toil all the way, please follow me."

Seeing the dress of the servant, Li Ye thought about it. Since it is the person whom Crickley sent to greet, it should be a kind of cronies, but it is too shabby to look at the other person's dress. As a servant in the inner court, the treatment should be It's good, but the Cui family's doors are all brighter than him. It seems that Cui Keli's situation in the Cui family is not good.

Several people followed the middle-aged servant, walking around in the Cui family's mansion, walking through countless pavilions, and getting more and more remote. People who met on the road did not greet the middle-aged servant, and this became increasingly He satisfies Li's judgment.

After walking for two full minutes, there were no buildings around. Everyone passed through a small earth mountain, passed a bamboo forest, and saw a stream. There was one or two acres of farmland on the other side of the stream, full of seasonal crops, and a vegetable field beside The crops and vegetables are growing very well, and the farmland is well-organized, and the river is irrigated, and it can be seen that the people who farm are very attentive.

There are two houses in front of the farmland, a total of five or six houses, and a grass house, which has a nest of chickens and ducks. In addition, it is a big yellow dog. It was lying in the yard lazily basking in the sun. When it saw Li Yan and others, he stood up and barked, then wheezed, and stayed on his stomach, squinting and continuing to bask in the sun, like an old woman.

"Xiaoman is lazy, but very human. Those few voices just greeted me. You came with me. It won't embarrass you," said the middle-aged servant Wen Wen.

"Xiaoman?" Wei Xiaozhuang pointed at the big yellow dog and looked at the middle-aged servant. It was incredible. "Do you say this yellow dog's name is Xiaoman?"

The middle-aged servant nodded: "Little pretty is female."

Wei Xiaozhuang disturbed his head, but finally he didn't put the words to his mouth and tell them. He didn't ask the yellow dog's gender. He thought that Xiaoman was clearly a personal name.

The middle-aged servant took Li Ye and others to enter the door, and asked everyone to take their seats. There was no one else in the house.

Then go out again.

Su Emei and Wei Xiaozhuang settled down and looked around. There were no furnishings in the room, but there were only four sets of high tables and chairs, and it seemed to be newly moved, with fresh scratches on the dry mud ground. There are several rows of bookshelves, filled with various classics, and there are many manuscript papers on the book case, full of characters. Sunlight came in from the window, the breeze blew the manuscript paper, and a rustling sound filled the room with books and ink.

Li Yi walked over to the book case and glanced at it. He was immediately attracted by the vigorous fonts on the manuscript paper. He couldn't help picking it up, but the material of the manuscript paper was ordinary, the most common one.

After reading a page of the manuscript, Li Yan slightly frowned ~ www.novelhall.com ~ The content on the manuscript is obviously a book written by scholars. He has unique insights and should come from the hands of Cui Keli. But the paper is too bad. Scholars and scholars like the style and style, and the requirements for the four treasures of the study are particularly high. They will try their best to improve the quality under certain conditions. It seems that these things are not good enough to carry their style.

The middle-aged servant entered the door with a tray and offered tea to Su Emei and Wei Xiaozhuang. When Li Zhi stood in front of the book case, he looked slightly surprised: "The chief Taoist also read the words of Confucianism?"

Li Ye smiled: "I'm not a Taoist, I'm just the two Taoist friends. I have read some of the Confucian sayings, and I'm very interested. I admire these manuscripts of Mr. Cui."

In the eyes of the middle-aged servant, there was a fascination, and there was a fascination from friends far away.

Wei Xiaozhuang coughed twice, looking at the middle-aged servant, and said positively: "This, we are here to find Mr. Cui. I wonder if Mr. Cui is here?"

Middle-aged servant stunned: "I am."

Suddenly Li Su was surprised, and Su Emei felt incredible, Wei Xiaozhuang was even surprised: "I said Mr. Cui Keli!"

"Under Trekli," the middle-aged servant said earnestly, "there is only the next person to live here."

The three looked at each other and felt strange. Isn't this guy a servant?

Cui Keli is a well-known figure, and even a child of Cui Jiayi's family, so dressed in shabby? Moreover, it is too ordinary to look at his appearance. I ca n’t recognize him when he is thrown into the ocean. I do n’t even say that he has a poetic style and self-confidence in his stomach, and I do n’t see how unusual the temperament of this guy is.

Now the crowd finally reacted. Why did the door look like that when they heard them looking for Cui Keli.

After Li Cui captured Cui Keli, he asked, "Mr. Chang's farmland crops are all grown outside?"

Cui Keli nodded, and when he was surprised by Li Ye, he explained: "The scholars have to do everything in order to cultivate the heirs. The Confucian scholars also regard Li Mincang as a mission to make a living and seek fortune. I am so diligent in limbs that I can't even understand the sufferings of the people. What about the welfare of Li Min? "

For the first time, Li Ye heard such remarks.

In Chang'an, he has seen a lot of disciples. Which one is not to consider the music, the poetry and the peace, the Qinglou romantic as an elegant thing, and the trafficker's death as a humble occupation? Wei Baoheng's brother Wei Jiangnan, isn't it?

High school jinshi scholars who entered the officialdom could not distinguish the leek and garlic seedlings in their lives. Learned the arts of martial arts and sold them to the emperor's house. Is this the pursuit of scholars? Those who are in charge of governing the country and issuing orders that determine the blessings of the people of the world?

Li Yan had to admire the simple-dressed, but also farmer and duck-reader, and said sincerely: "Mr. Some remarks, deafening, the behavior of Mr., can be an example for readers."

Cui Keli shook his head straight, sighed, and replied ashamedly: "The son must not be so, to discredit Cui. Cui has been studying for decades, but he is guarding two acres of thin fields in several cottages; he has never traveled to the sea and went to the mountains in the county. In the middle, I have seen the hardships and hardships of the people with my own eyes; I am full of ink, but I just wrote some words of masturbation and never really did something useful for the people. Cui, due to the teachings of the sages, did not dare to claim student."

Do not dare to call yourself a scholar!

Hearing this sentence, Li Yan was speechless.

Some memories suddenly popped into his mind.

Li Xian also mentioned before that there were only a few serious scholars in the world. When he arrived in the officialdom, he forgot his original heart. With cultivation, he considered himself superior. Li Mincang was born in their eyes, but he was the object to be governed.

But Qingzhou Cui Keli can be called a serious Confucian scholar.

When Li Xianyuan said this, the world was full of admiration, and in Li Zhi's memory, the whole world can make Li Xian reveal such a person, can count with one hand.
