Old man Zhao looked at Gu Fangxu with a surprised look on his face and hesitated to speak.
Picked up casually on the roadside, he is still a Confucian scholar who failed many times and became a child student all because of his wife.
To be able to say such ambitious words.
This King of Huainan deserves to be the King of Huainan.
How could a random grandson-in-law be so extraordinary?
Old Man Zhao thought for a while and suddenly said: "How can I be a man?"
Su Yu replied directly: "You can't be licentious with wealth, you can't be moved by poverty, you can't be subdued by force. This is called a true man."
Old man Zhao's eyes showed a little admiration.
He also asked: "What is the reason why a country is destroyed and prospered?"
Su Yu replied smoothly: "Three generations gained the world with benevolence, and lost the world with unkindness."
"The emperor is unkind and cannot protect the world; the princes are unkind and cannot protect the country; the ministers and officials are unkind and cannot protect the ancestral temple; the scholars and common people are unkind and cannot protect the four bodies."
Old man Zhao was completely satisfied.
The look in Su Yu's eyes was even a little loving.
"well said."
He laughed loudly and said: "Old man Gu, the grandson-in-law you picked up on the roadside is really awesome."
When they were having a question and answer just now, Gu Changle and Old Man Gu didn't talk to each other.
Gu Changle knew that Su Yu was talented, so he was not worried that he would not be able to answer the question.
Old Man Gu, on the other hand, was completely shocked.
He had chatted with Su Yu before and knew that although Su Yu failed many times and had no results in the imperial examination, his vision was broad and his mind was unmatched by other young people.
But he didn't know that this kid was so talented!
Even the old guy Zhao Chengshu is interested in him.
Gu Fangxu is a rough man, but Zhao Chengshu is a scholar.
Although the two have been friends for many years, neither one dislikes the other.
Zhao Chengshu disliked him as a vulgar martial artist with no ink on his chest.
Gu Fangxu despised Zhao Chengshu, who had been talking about hypocritical benevolence, justice and morality all day long.
Seeing how shocked he was by his grandson-in-law, Gu Fangxu couldn't help but feel very good.
This grandson-in-law is really proud of him!
After Old Man Zhao finished asking, he changed back to smiling.
"Have you forgotten what Master Zhiran said?"
"My parents, Jia Le, were born to be rich and noble."
"How can someone whose birth date matches hers be an ordinary person?"
Old Man Gu said proudly.
Old man Zhao had no choice but to refute even if he wanted to.
He laughed and scolded: "You stinky chess piece."
"When you can beat me at chess, it won't be too late to show off."
Speaking of this, Old Man Gu became unhappy.
"Tsk, why are you mentioning this so well?"
He shook his head and said: "Old man, I have nothing to talk to you about!"
"It's getting late and I'm too lazy to entertain. You should leave quickly."
Su Yu knew that Old Man Gu loved to play chess, but he didn't know his specific chess level.
After all, I can only barely understand chess and am not proficient in it.
Now looking at Old Man Zhao's reaction to teasing him, it shows that this is someone who has been abused by Old Man Zhao on the chessboard for many years.
Old Man Zhao was not upset when he heard Old Man Gu chasing people away so directly.
He smiled a little bit: "Okay, I'll take my leave now, old man."
"Chang Le just came back, have a good rest today."
"Wait until Grandpa Zhao delivers your wedding gift."
Gu Changle smiled and replied: "Okay."
Old man Zhao then put his hands behind his back and left leisurely.
Old Man Gu then led the two of them into the house and asked Uncle Fu to help move things.
Uncle Fu rolled up his sleeves with a smile and was about to take action.
Su Yu quickly said: "Why bother Uncle Fu? I'll just do it."
Uncle Fu was just a neighbor and he was also old, so Su Yu didn't want to trouble him.
And when they returned home this time, they brought a lot of local specialties from the village.
There were several baskets of fresh fruits and vegetables, all of which were relatively heavy.
Old Man Gu coughed lightly and said, "It's okay."
"Old friends for many years, it's okay to bother me."
"Uncle Fu's sons are also here. They are all strong."
"If Uncle Fu really can't move it, he will call them over."
Fu Bo paused for a moment, then quickly smiled and said: "Yes, yes!"
"I called my sons to help."
"It's out of the way."
"You're tired all the way here. You go in first and have a rest."
How many other sons does Uncle Fu have?
I heard that he lived nearby, and it was normal for his family to come over and help Old Man Gu.
Although Su Yu had been to Old Man Gu's house twice before, he never stayed long.
Therefore, I have basically never seen my neighbors nearby.
This time I will stay at Gu Changle's house for a while, and it won't be too late to get familiar with him gradually.
Su Yu then smiled and said, "Then I'll bother you, Uncle Fu."
Uncle Fu quickly said: "No trouble, no trouble."
"Just little things."
"We are all neighbors and should help each other, haha."
Old Man Gu had already led Gu Changle through the door, and Su Yu stopped pestering him.
After thanking Uncle Fu, he followed him into the house.
...
the other side.
After Old Man Zhao left Gu's house, he walked out of the alley with his hands behind his back.
Thinking of Su Yu's words just now, he couldn't help but feel that there was something unfinished about him.
Since he resigned and returned home, many people have come to visit him every day over the years, and many people want to become his disciples.
But Old Man Zhao has not confiscated even one person in so many years.
I've seen some good seedlings, but I just don't think they taste like that.
That kid just now, I thought he was a softie at first.
Later I realized that I was still too narrow-minded.
This young man is not bad, and old man Zhao feels a little itchy.
"You are so talented, why have you failed to achieve anything in the imperial examinations for so many years?"
"Did you offend someone and make things difficult for the examiners who read the questions?"
Gu Fangxu was a martial artist, so he didn't expect so much.
Old man Zhao is different.
He thought for a while, turned his feet, and walked slowly towards the government office.
Arrive at the government office.
With his status, it was easy to meet the prefect.
Master Lu, the prefect, was naturally very familiar with Zhao Chengshu's name.
In their Jiangling area, except for the noble status of King Huainan.
The other person that people are most concerned about is naturally Zhao Chengshu.
When he reached the second rank of minister, he resigned due to illness.
Today, His Majesty has tried to persuade him to stay many times.
It can be seen that he is indeed in poor health, so his resignation application can only be temporarily approved.
Later, when I returned to my hometown, over the years, the threshold of my home was almost leveled by people who wanted to see him.
Everyone has a consensus.
This Zhao Chengshu will return to the court sooner or later.
Therefore, when he heard that he was coming, Magistrate Lu did not dare to neglect, and quickly put down his official duties and went out to greet him.
"I was just telling you why I saw magpies chirping on the eaves of the government office today. It turned out to be Mr. Zhao who was here."
Zhao Chengshu accepted his gift with a smile, but insisted on sitting in the lower seat of Magistrate Lu.
Magistrate Lu was a little flattered, and he didn't dare to sit down on his butt.
He just sat there for a little bit.
"I came here today because I have something to do and want to trouble Mr. Lu."
"Mr. Zhao, if you have any questions, just say it. I will do my best."
Old Man Zhao said: "I want to see the answer sheets of the candidates who passed the examination."
"I wonder if it's possible?"
