Zuo Mengeng had too much knowledge in his belly, and Xu Ruolin had too much insight in her mind.
When these two people meet together, it is like the golden wind and jade dew. Once they meet, they will defeat countless people in the world.
We meet so late, we share the same goals, we fall in love with each other, we make a raging fire, you and I...
Okay, there can't be any adultery.
There is 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.
Zuo Xianmei was originally very excited.
Xu Ruolin came from the south of the Yangtze River and was the granddaughter of the minister of the Ministry of Rites. In addition, the south of the Yangtze River was rich in treasures and people, and she was as talented as a crucian carp crossing the river.
Zuo Xianmei thought that she could get some advice from Xu Ruolin and increase her knowledge and talents.
As a result, Xu Ruolin and Zuo Mengeng got together, talking about "productivity", "wealth", "colonial overseas" and so on, which made her eyes wide open and she felt dizzy.
"Sister Xu, such a matter of comparing money and money is really... too demeaning."
Zuo Xianmei felt that Xu Ruolin must be made aware of her lost ways.
How can you not be a talented woman?
Xu Ruolin burst into laughter, raised her hand and pinched her cheek again.
"Simple little girl, this is a great university that governs the world. How many cabinet ministers can manage such a great university that is so hard to come by?"
Zuo Xianmei struggled to break away from Xu Ruolin's clutches and argued: "If you don't learn the meaning of the scriptures, how can you understand the truth? How can you cultivate your moral character? How can you leap over the dragon gate? Isn't the knowledge that governs the world in the sage's subtle words and great principles?"
In Zuo Mengeng's eyes, Xu Ruolin felt very fond of this sister.
"Silly girl, those classics and principles are just a stepping stone to becoming an official in the imperial examination. Do you really think that those officials govern the world by relying on the classics and principles? In this case, why do they still go to the Hanlin Academy for internship after they are named on the gold medal list?"
Zuo Xianmei felt that her outlook on life had been severely impacted.
"Then...then why do the imperial examinations still need to take these tests?"
Xu Ruolin wanted to say something else, but Zuo Mengeng's words were much heavier.
"Because this court is sick, and it is terminally ill, and there is no cure."
Xu Ruolin and Zuo Menggeng have discussed a lot these days, covering everything from family, country, world, astronomy, geography, humanities and politics.
Many of Zuo Mengeng's views shocked her and inspired her greatly.
Only Zuo Mengeng's idea of changing the dynasty revealed in his words made her scalp numb.
Is rebellion so easy?
"Master..."
Zuo Rong rushed in and broke the atmosphere.
"The master ordered you to quickly change into new clothes and go out with him."
Zuo Mengeng was puzzled.
"Do you know what's going on?"
Zuo Rong knows a little bit.
"The old man whom I have longed for has arrived."
It looked like he was going to greet distinguished guests.
Zuo Mengeng didn't dare to neglect and put on a brand new robe. When he came to the front hall, Zhou You was also there.
This guy didn't know why, although he tried to stay calm, his expression was full of excitement.
"Over the years, if it hadn't been for my uncle's care and protection, my nephew would never have been able to survive to this day. It's a great kindness that my nephew will never forget."
With that said, Zhou You actually knelt down to Zuo Liangyu.
After Zuo Liangyu returned home, Zhou You also moved into the Zuo family. It's just that he usually stays alone and doesn't interact with people in the house, which is weird.
Unexpectedly, something like this happened today.
Zuo Liangyu also looked excited and stretched out his hand to help Zhou You up.
"My dear nephew, please don't say such disrespectful things. Your father's heroic name is respected by the whole world, so how can I stand by cold-bloodedly? From now on, the Zhou family's family will be fully supported by my worthy nephew. No matter what, your majestic reputation must not be compromised. "
Zhou You solemnly said yes and burst into tears.
The group of people walked out of the door and headed directly to Chaoguan Pier.
Zuo Mengeng noticed that Zuo Liangyu actually brought two luxurious velvet sedans.
Zuofu is the general's gate. The father and son go out either on horseback or on foot, never in a sedan chair.
Although Huang and Zuo Xianmei can ride in sedans, they are just simple ordinary sedans.
It is not known whether Zuo Liangyu made such a wealthy and noble car or paid a lot of money to hire it.
After a short trip, we arrived at Chaoguan Pier, which was very lively.
Looking from a distance, there are many people crowding inside and outside.
At the moment, a tall, calm and dignified official was being accompanied by three slightly younger middle-aged scribes, chatting eagerly about something.
There were several young people beside them. Although they did not dare to make any noise, they were all arrogant and had their own style.
The rest of the people were dressed in luxurious clothes, but they could only stand at the back. It was obvious that their status was far behind.
Zuo Mengeng looked carefully and found that except for the official who was not angry and proud, he actually knew everyone else.
The three scribes accompanying him were Zhang Haogu's three elders. Zhang Zhenxiu, Zhang Zongmeng, and Zhang Haogu’s father Zhang Zonghuan.
Among the young people, the one who is strong and tall is Liu Yiyuan, who is as famous as Zuo Menggeng.
The handsome young man accompanying him is Geng Zhangguang of the Geng family. This man's father, Geng Ruqi, is now the governor of Shanxi.
There was a jeweled young master beside them, but Zuo Mengeng didn't recognize him.
Zhang Haogu stood on the other side bored, out of tune with these three people. Seeing Zuo Mengeng's figure, he immediately waved happily.
Zuo Mengeng smiled and gestured, but did not go over immediately. Instead, he followed Zuo Liangyu to the elders' side.
Zuo Liangyu usually walks like a dragon and is domineering, but now he walked over and looked cautious for some reason, which made Zuo Mengeng think of a servant.
"Zuo Liangyu would like to send my regards to the four adults."
This is the difference between civil and military affairs in the Ming Dynasty.
Not to mention that Zuo Liangyu was just a former military attache, but also a mere governor. Even if he is the commander-in-chief, he cannot hold his head high when facing civilian officials.
Zuo Menggeng fully thought that Zuo Liangyu would be in trouble if he got close to her.
What he didn't expect was that the four literati were actually quite kind to him.
Especially the majestic official took the initiative to support Zuo Liangyu.
"When these two seniors come here, we as junior students are all eager to listen to their teachings. But we don't want Kunshan to take the lead. It's very annoying."
Zhang Zhenxiu and the others laughed loudly, congratulating Zuo Liangyu in their words.
Zuo Liangyu blushed at the compliment.
"Maybe the boss knows that this general is uneducated and incompetent, so he needs some guidance."
A few people chatted and laughed, and the official walked up to Zhou You.
"Good nephew..."
The man seemed to be full of words, but in the end they only turned into the simplest comfort.
"It'll be nice to come back."
Zhang Zonghuan also said: "If my dear nephew encounters any difficulties in the future, just look for me and don't see anyone else."
Zhou You could not hold back the tears in his eyes and bowed.
"What virtues and abilities my little nephew has, it all depends on Yu Yin. I have nothing else to ask for in this life, but I just want to be clean first and comfort my ancestors of the Zhou family."
The official roared angrily.
"Don't worry, now that all the sages have returned to the court, it is imperative to bring order to the chaos."
Zhou You finally smiled, as if all the suffering was over.
Zuo Liangyu looked at Zuo Mengeng and ordered: "What are you doing standing still? Why don't you come forward and listen to your teachings?"
Zuo Mengeng did not dare to neglect and saluted respectfully.
"The boy has met the adults and three uncles."
He and Zhang Haogu were brothers, and they were naturally very familiar with the elders of the Zhang family.
Zhang Zhenxiu looked at Zuo Mengeng with admiration.
"As soon as my good nephew went to Liaodong and spent many years, his immature spirit disappeared, and he became quite like your father."
Zhang Zonghuan also said: "Nizi met him before, and when he came back to tell his story, he was quite amazed by all the insights he had. Brother Kunshan, I'm afraid it will be a big deal for me to give him time."
There were many people with mixed eyes, and Zuo Liangyu didn't know what Zuo Mengeng said to Zhang Haogu, but the father was still inexplicably happy when his son was praised.
Before he could think about it, the crowd suddenly became noisy.
"I'm coming……"
Zuo Mengeng followed everyone's gaze and saw an official ship turning into the river at Shuimen Pass in the south and heading straight for the dock.
The two elegant and outstanding scribes on the bow of the ship stood facing the wind, with their big sleeves fluttering. They were really extraordinary and heart-wrenching.
Everyone couldn't help but take a few steps closer, as if they were seeing a huge star.
The official took the lead, no one else but me, and clasped his fists at the two scribes. His voice was clear and could be heard throughout the countryside.
"Nian Tai Gong and Ruo Gu Gong, we have been apart for many years, but our style remains the same!"
The more substantial and generous of the two scribes returned the favor, and his laughter spread far and wide.
"This time when we go north, we are greeted by Duke Wei Yuan. How can Hou Xun be so virtuous!"
The conversation on the boat and on the shore was like a song, and they were having fun. However, Zuo Mengeng looked at the scribes on the boat in shock as if he had been shocked by electricity.
Boss Donglin, the most important person in Zuo Liangyu's life, appeared.
