I chatted with two old gentlemen unknowingly in the papermaking workshop and printing room until it got dark, and finally Bai Jinqing and Hu Yushan arrived.
When young people are together, there will naturally be topics for young people to talk about. When Bai Dinggong and Liu Xingzhai saw that the three of them were already together, they stopped disturbing them.
The three of them got on the carriage and headed to Junxiao Tower. The shopkeeper and waiters of Junxiao Tower saw that the young men at the time were now officials in the court, so it goes without saying that they were respectful.
The three of them were moved to the private room upstairs, and a table of good food and wine was served according to Shao Xi's request. After the three of them sat down, they started chatting while eating.
Shao Xi looked at the two people in front of him and couldn't help but sigh: "I didn't expect that I have only been away for half a year, and now I feel that things are different and people are different. After a spring meeting, the four of you will have your own future.
"It's a pity that the five of us got together here. Now Han Shaoguang and Zheng Yuanxiu have gone to Wanxian County, and there are only three of us left at this table. I wonder when the five of us can get together again?"
Hu Yushan was also quite emotional about this, and couldn't help but muttered: "Yes! The two of them only entered the top three, and performed poorly in the re-examination, so they had to be sent to a remote place to be a local county magistrate. With the county magistrate, I am afraid that it will be difficult for him to have the opportunity to become an official in Beijing in the future.
"Nowadays, we are separated by mountains and rivers, and we are busy with our own things. I really don't know when we will be able to drink, write poems, and talk together like before. It's really a pity to talk about it!"
Bai Jinqing looked indifferent and didn't seem to have much emotion about this matter.
"You two don't have to feel sorry. Friends who are classmates are bound to go their separate ways in the future. Now, although Shao Guang and Yuan Xiu failed to stay in Kyoto, they finally have their own place to go.
"Life is inherently unpredictable. We really don't need to get too entangled. Maybe the two of them will break out of a world of their own in Nawan County and start a career of their own. Why do you and I have to worry so much about them? Too much heart?
"As long as this friendship remains in our hearts, no matter how far apart we are, we will still be connected. I believe that the five of us will reunite one day."
As expected, Bai Jinqing still maintained his indifferent temperament and always maintained a calm attitude in everything, which Shao Xi admired very much.
Because like Bai Jinqing, who has a clear mind and sees everything clearly, he will have fewer unnecessary worries. This kind of temperament that faces reality in the most rational way is the most suitable for compiling history books.
A clear mind and a calm attitude can make people look at things more rationally and objectively, and compiling history books requires this objective rationality.
Shao Xi often hopes that he can face many things calmly and calmly like Bai Jinqing, but he also knows that he cannot do it. After all, he has always regarded himself as a person who has a clear distinction between grudges and grudges, and enjoys grudges.
Even though he is now fighting and scheming with all kinds of people out of helplessness, he is still a sentimental person in his heart, and his emotions will still be influenced by his own feelings. He cannot be as calm and calm as Bai Jinqing.
This may be related to Shao Xi's past experience. People who have experienced great joys and sorrows in life, and people who have experienced huge psychological gaps, are often unable to maintain that kind of calmness and indifference when facing many things.
"Speaking of which, I really might go to Wanxian before the end of the year. Then I can also visit Shao Guang and Yuanxiu. I wonder what these two living treasures will do when they arrive in Wanxian? Without Brother Yushan With such discipline, I think these two boys can go to heaven."
Hu Yushan couldn't help laughing when he heard what Shao Xi said, and couldn't help complaining: "These two brats are inherently simple-minded, and they always like to do things out of their own cleverness.
"Now that I have become the parent official of Wanxian County, I am really worried about how the local people will be caused by these two boys.
"My parents and officials are a blessing to the local people. I think they may become a disaster for the local people. I wonder if the people of Wanxian County will be forced to rebel by these two guys?"
When mentioning Wan County, Shao Xi couldn't help but think of the incident of arresting the fake magistrate Han Song in Wan County.
If it hadn't been for Zhang Chong's help, he and Lao Wu might not have succeeded so smoothly. Who knows what is happening to Zhang Chong and Zhao Qiaoyun now?
Speaking of which, if the two of them were already married, by the time I arrived in Wan County, the baby would have been born, right?
Thinking of Zhao Qiaoyun, Shao Xi couldn't help but think of the wandering swordsman named Chu Yunhe.
I don’t know if Zhao Qiaoyun has ever gone to pay homage? Has Chu Yunhe’s tomb been renovated? At first, I just buried Chu Yunhe hastily, but now that I think about it, it was indeed a bit manageable.
At the end of the year, he will go to Qingshan County. After Ye Ziyuan's cemetery is repaired, he will deal with all the corrupt officials in Qingshan County. It is indeed necessary for him to go to the ruined temple to visit Chu Yun. river.
After all, this man is the first true swordsman he has encountered since entering the arena of the Central Plains. A person in the arena who must stick to his principles even if his life is miserable.
In Shao Xi's heart, Chu Yunhe is different from anyone else. Although he has only known and interacted with him for a short time, he is the person who left the deepest impression on him.
Perhaps it was from him that Shao Xi truly began to see what Jianghu was like, or what Jianghu should be like.
Shao Xi never thought that a stranger would make him miss him so much, maybe because of his death, maybe because of the way he lived.
Maybe everything that happened was just a coincidence, but Shao Xi always felt that the world was actually not big. When he looked back and thought about everything in the past, it seemed that everything that happened was related to each other and had cause and effect.
If the incident at Fengjiazhuang had not happened, Old Wu would not have taken him to escape to the land of the barbarians in the north, nor would he have stolen the treasures of several sects in order to allow him to practice martial arts.
If he had never practiced martial arts, he would not have bothered with Chu Yunhe and Wanxian's business. Regardless of these business matters, he might have just passed through Qingshan County, and perhaps not so many things would have happened.
Thinking of this, Shao Xi felt that his idea was a bit ridiculous.
In the final analysis, if I had not gone to Sister Hua's place for New Year's Eve dinner on New Year's Eve, I might not have wandered alone on the road by accident, nor would I have encountered that weird female driver who knocked me down and made me travel to this world. , then wouldn’t everything happen?
But what's the use of thinking about this now?
As expected, I couldn't face everything calmly and calmly like Bai Jinqing, and I would always have some unnecessary emotions.
Now that I am facing many crises, this mentality may really not exist.
Shao Xi couldn't help but shook his head in self-mockery, picked up the wine glass in his hand and said to Bai Jinqing and Hu Yushan: "Jinqing is right, things in the world are indeed unpredictable.
"Everyone doesn't know what will happen in the future. Maybe everything that happens in the future will be beyond our expectations, so there is no need to worry about it.
"So let's just hope that everything will get better? That's just a hope."
After saying this, Shao Xi realized that Bai Jinqing and Hu Yushan were looking at him strangely, as if they had just met him, which made Shao Xi feel embarrassed for a moment.
"Why are you two looking at me like that? Is this the first day you met me?"
Unexpectedly, the two of them nodded in unison and replied in unison: "It really seems like I just met you on the first day."
The answers of the two people made Shao Xi a little confused for a moment, but Bai Jinqing smiled and said: "Brother Shao we knew in the past was a high-spirited person who dared to speak and do, and never stick to small details, but we didn't expect Brother Shao to be the same." Being so sentimental, one can lament the impermanence of things in the world.
"In our eyes, Brother Shao has always been a person who focuses on the present and is not obsessed with the past and the future. We did not expect that Brother Shao would say such things about what he hopes for the future today, which really surprised us! "
Shao Xi was dumbfounded by what Bai Jinqing said. Could it be that this is the impression he really left on them?
Maybe I have too many secrets in my heart and hide too many things from them, which is why they think of me this way.
Shao Xi has always hidden his identity very deeply. Whether it is his identity as Feng Yuyan in this world or his identity as a time traveler, Shao Xi cannot disclose it to others.
In this world, Shao Xi wants to hide his identity as Feng Yuyan from others, and in front of Lao Wu, Shao Xi wants to hide his identity as a time traveler.
A person who hides secrets from everyone has to try his best to disguise himself. Even someone like Lao Wu who makes him feel very close still has to hide something from him.
Perhaps Shao Xi has become accustomed to how he looks in front of others due to his long-term disguise, so when Bai Jinqing expressed his impression of himself, Shao Xi was a little surprised, because it seemed to be very different from his inner self.
Is it really because I have been pretending for so long that I have begun to gradually lose myself?
Since Bai Jinqing and others have always had this impression of him, Shao Xi doesn't want them to be disappointed in him.
If a person who was originally high-spirited and happy to take revenge suddenly becomes sentimental and fragile, he may really disappoint the people around him.
So Shao Xi cheered up, raised the wine glass in his hand again, and said to the two people in front of him: "Brothers, I'm here. Don't think that Shao Guang and Yuan Xiu, two brats, will be fine if they stay far away. Sooner or later we will get them two back, and then we should let Brother Yushan discipline them well."
Bai Jinqing and Hu Yushan were stunned by Shao Xi's words, and couldn't help but asked in unison: "What did you say? Can you get them two back?"
Shao Xi raised his chin and said confidently: "Just watch! Of course I have my own way to get them back sooner or later."
