Chapter 1196 Bitter Winter Day ([-])
As the time approached noon, the ice particles that fell in the city gradually turned into snowflakes and fell, dyeing the streets of Chengdu a little white.
It was still the first snow in the southwest this year, and the pedestrians on the road didn't look too embarrassed, and most of them showed novelty.Many people don’t hold umbrellas, just talk and laugh; there are also laughing children chasing and making trouble on the street, even if their family members call on the street, they don’t want to go back.
On the Sifang Tea House, it was the time when the atmosphere in the public opinion field was the most enthusiastic.In the private rooms, the voice of discussion is coming out.
"...In the face of the current situation, how many ways can Duke Dai be calm?"
"What about the current situation? The Jurchen has already gone north. It must be more relaxed than when he went south a few times. When you talk about today's saints, you betrayed your own people for the second time..."
"But who is Duke Dai's opponent! There are Jurchen in the north and Huaxia Army in the south!"
"Originally, Liu Guangshi was not enough, he would only run away..."
"...This remark is really shameless! What Brother He said, it was the first time that Dai Mengwei betrayed his own people. Shang Ke said that he was trying to save many people. This time, he betrayed Liu Guangshi, which is really shameless!"
"...Don't pretend to be confused, Confucianism is about to end!"
"... Alarmist, my generation of Confucian students can still drink tea, eat, and chat here, how can it be said that it is over? Although the Huaxia Army claims to destroy Confucianism, in fact, it is not too much..."
"Isn't it hot? What is he doing now, Ning Yi, don't you understand? He is dividing the fields!"
"What about dividing the land? The Jiangnan Fair Party has just begun to strife."
"How can the Fairness Party be compared with the Huaxia Army? Now that the Southwest divides the fields, it is necessary to have classes and to go out for exercises. When he is in class, he promotes a literacy movement, and asks everyone to put their children in the school, and children from rural households to enter the school. After entering the school, he will be tied to the Huaxia Army in the future, and the three times before the division of the land, he will implement the so-called militia system in various places. The literacy movement makes children tied to it, and the militia system makes adults obey their orders. Ning Yi thought To skip all the scholars, his Confucian extermination is playing for real!"
"...If you can make everyone literate, everyone will be like a dragon, how can you say it's a bad thing?"
"Haha! Haha! Pretend to be confused. Is literacy and teaching people so easy? If those children who know three or five characters can really understand the big truth, of course I have nothing to say, but Ning Yi said this. It's just a means of seizing power. Since the establishment of the Huaxia Army, he has mentioned the so-called human rights and democracy. In the previous imperial examinations, he screened the accountants and the like, and now everyone is literate. A scholar like this. How many people in this world have read the books of sages and sages for decades, he attracts a group of people who have never read books, makes them literate, and puts aside all of you... Don't think that I am Jealousy, but - if such a person can make the world better, why should you and I learn those small words and righteousness for thousands of years... But Ning Yi is really determined, he wants to destroy Confucianism..."
"The Huaxia Army developed papermaking and wanted everyone to have the ability to study. In the past two years, it has been vigorously expanding Shanxue and Xiangxue, but at the beginning, it was only natural to do some literacy enlightenment. These things are step by step, I don't think it's a big deal... …”
"Confucianism does not oppose enlightenment. In the past thousand years, papermaking has not been developed, and the development of things has been too slow. If Ning Yi is really selfless, everyone here will know that it will be better to use the mature Confucian system first to assist rural enlightenment. Ning Yi He is prejudiced and wants to drag a person who only knows a few words to fight against Confucianism. He does not have blood on his knife, and his hands are smarter than everyone else. "
"Even so, what does it have to do with Duke Dai..."
"How much time does Duke Dai have? What can he do in the future when he joins forces with Liu Guangshi and other wastes? After the end of the Southwest War, Ning Yi recuperates in Sichuan and Sichuan. It looks lively and lively outside, but who doesn't know that once the Huaxia army leaves Sichuan, No one in the world can be like this? But with this step of Duke Dai this time, wouldn’t the entire Central Plains suddenly become enlightened?
"I think you are looking at Zou Xu. After all, he is just Ning Yi's disciple..."
"He was Ning Yi's most reliant disciple back then, and there is no one in the world who understands Ning Yi's way better than him. Today, Duke Dai is in charge of Confucianism, and Zou Xu knows the art of examining things. , there is nothing more suitable than the two of them in the world..."
"But listening to his words and watching his actions, Ning Yi's arrangement in Chengdu in the past two years has the atmosphere of a holy king..."
"Yeah, Holy King Shizuo, then I want to ask you a question today - you don't have any land at home!? You don't have any land at home!?"
"You, you, you... I'm waiting for the truth, how can you speculate so dirty..."
"Okay, he Ning Yi went out of Sichuan, first of all to divide the land of your family——"
One by one, loud noises came out, and in the small box on the other side, Yan Daolun and Yu Hezhong were drinking tea while listening to these accents from the next door.Sifang Teahouse is the core public opinion field in Chengdu. Yan Daolun and others who run the restaurant usually listen to some public debates in this way. At this time, Yan Daolun sighed: "Look, this is how many people in the outside world are concerned about what Dai Mengwei has done this time. the opinion of."
Yu Hezhong took a sip of tea: "Usually the master of Tang Qitang is virtuous, but this time he seems to be out of breath. Does this mean that he supports Dai Mengwei and opposes the Huaxia Army, but because he has land at home."
"It's not just what he said." Yan Daolun shook his head, "What he said was how many people in this world would support Dai Mengwei... To be honest, Brother Yu, my Yan family also has land."
"Brother Yan means..."
"It doesn't make any sense, it has nothing to do with the overall situation, just overnight, the world turned upside down, brother Yu, I was also a little confused..."
The two sides met this morning. Yu and the center were anxious. They wanted to go directly to the teacher, but Yan Daolun left him. First, they talked about whether there were high-level personnel surnamed Long in the Huaxia Army, and then listened to the next door. Noisy, rambled a lot about the current situation.Yan Daolun was deeply thoughtful, and he talked about a lot more things with him today than in the past, but Yu Hezhong was so upset that it was difficult to speculate about them one by one.
In the past year, he has been a relationship broker in Chengdu, which has been too smooth.Most of the others are looking for him to do things. If there is any hidden meaning, he will naturally be too lazy to do it, and even if some people have sinister intentions and spend a round with the Huaxia Army, there is nothing to hide.
At this time, after having lunch amid all kinds of nonsense, Yu Hezhong gritted his teeth and asked bluntly: "Brother Yan, if this incident really doesn't end, you Have you considered, let's... cast the Huaxia Army?"
Yan Daolun stared at him for a moment, then sighed: "This matter...let's talk about it."
Amidst the falling snow, Yu Hezhong left the Sifang Restaurant and headed towards the Propaganda Department.
He went to Li Shishi's residence the day before, but in the end he couldn't see anyone. He went to the office of the Propaganda Department that day. After reporting his name, he was told that Deputy Li was not working in the Propaganda Department recently. As for why he went there, No comment.Yu Hezhong and Shishi are usually personal friends. Although they occasionally ask for help, they do not take them to the Propaganda Department, and they are not familiar with this place.Immediately leave here, and go to the residence.
The official residence of Shishi in Chengdu is a small courtyard near the Mahachi.All the high-level officials of the Huaxia Army live here. There is a unified service, reception, and meeting room outside. Many people come here every day, either for business or private affairs. Only after verification or notification will they be taken in.Yu Hezhong was very familiar with this place, and he was already familiar with the receptionist outside. At this time, it was not time for get off work, and the senior officials of the Huaxia Army who were busy with official business were usually not at the residence. Said: "You said, Vice Minister Li will be back at night?"
"This, usually..."
"Then I stayed until last night, why didn't I see you."
"Which department is not busy recently, just to distribute the land, more than 1 people have been sent out. You see, Chengdu has sent more than 1 people. How many people are there working here? Mr. Ning is not in Chengdu recently. what……"
"I know this, but... Deputy Li, did she come back last night?"
"..." Yu Hezhong came here a lot in the past, and it was easy to enter every time, but when he saw him asking here, the receptionist hesitated, "This, Mr. Yu, we are disciplined..."
"Okay, don't ask." Yu Hezhong waved his hand, "When she comes back, tell her that I'm in a hurry."
The other party nodded and agreed with a smile.
The light snow fell outside today, and the waiting room where all kinds of people gathered opened the window, but it was not cold. Yu Hezhong sat by the window and listened to the hustle and bustle of people. The visitors gathered and talked in the room, and some even talked about the "big event" that happened in the Central Plains. An old woman with a patch on her clothes and three yellow-faced and thin country children sat in a corner of the room and waited for others. The two children were probably hungry and cried a lot, and the orderly brought some snacks in to coax them—this was probably a poor relative of a high-ranking official in the Huaxia Army, and it looked like they had come in from outside Yanmen Pass not long ago, and the room was messed up. Like a vegetable market.
Similar things are not uncommon in this waiting room. In the past, Yu Hezhong would go to other places for a stroll, or go to a nearby teahouse for a drink, and come back after calculating the time.But today I don't have that kind of mental leeway. I'm suffering in front of the window with my hands in my hands, and I only use the snow scene outside as a small pastime in boredom.I wanted to recite a few poems, and I thought hard for a long time, but I didn't get anything.
I can't help but think of Bianliang nearly 20 years ago. At that time, my literary talents were not bad, and I met Li Shishi, and often participated in various literary meetings with Chen Sifeng.At that time, there were limited seats in the high-end literary clubs in the capital where big figures participated, and a group of scholars often recited poems and Fu in the lobby of the fan building in order to become famous. He and Chen Sifeng's literary talents were only above average, but with teachers around, they would often be careful They go in together.Yu Hezhong often misses the prosperous atmosphere of the time when celebrities gathered together and received poems and essays.
At that time, among the countless celebrities in the capital, he still had an imagination for the future. At that time, he even thought that he might be the one who would bring peace to the world.
In the following 20 years, Shenzhou land sank, people tossed and turned in the world, what he saw were all kinds of intrigues, bloody fights, warlords, scoundrels, all kinds of barbarians and ordinary people who rose up in peace. After looking for relationships, kneeling down to others, and seeing Shishi again in the southwest in the past two years, I just enjoyed the environment with a straight waist again.But in his heart, Yu Hezhong still regards himself as a literati. Even if he can't reach the upper reaches of the middleman, what really makes him feel comfortable and even fascinated is still the environment in Bianliang back then.
For the administration of the Huaxia Army, and even for Ning Yi, in a place no one knows about, he has a slander.They were too pragmatic and lost the grace of a literate person and the beauty of the ritual of harmony in words and singing.
Ning Yi was like this back then. Even though he could write first-class poems, he had no reverence for everything in words.Chen Sifeng has said in private that he is not a real romantic person.
More than a year after arriving in Chengdu, he did not take the initiative to visit Ning Yi, who everyone wanted to meet. In the final analysis, in his heart, he and the other party were always two types of people.He grew up in a Confucian atmosphere, he wanted to write good poems, he wanted to save the world, he wanted to show himself in every literary meeting, and he wanted to maintain everything that made people respect and bow down.And Ning Yi...
Ning Yi... He is brilliant in writing and excellent in martial arts, but he is a frivolous person from beginning to end. He is married, does business, calculates, kills, and even his teachers once said that he is too incompetent, even those beautiful articles. All the poems must be criticized, but in this world, why are these people always leading the way?
And thinking of the teacher...
It was the most beautiful dream in his heart.
It is not difficult to recognize reality.
But occasionally in the middle of the night, even if he was accompanied by a beautiful woman, he would still think with great annoyance that the teacher and her... After all, he was occupied by the person who had nothing to do with Meng Lang.
In this world, when you are in your 20s, seeing the beauty in front of you, you always feel that the future is full of infinite possibilities, and your heart is always full of hope.But gradually, these possibilities narrowed in front of my eyes. At a certain juncture, I suddenly realized my incompetence, realized that there were only one or two narrow ways out in the future, and that was the darkest moment.
When he came to the southwest and saw Shi Shi again, God almost gave him a second chance.If there is such a possibility, Shishi has him in his heart, then his life, which is gradually approaching forty, will suddenly be so fulfilling. Even the ten years of ups and downs after the age of 20 seem to be in vain. full of meaning.
But these thoughts are just illusions after all. Soon after the reunion, the rumors about the relationship between Shishi and Ning Yi became real. After a certain time, Shishi cleverly admitted it in Yan Yanjian, the consummation of life is still far away from him. And went.Afterwards, if there are any conclusions, his life in Hezhong is nothing more than being favored by Li Shishi in his early twenties and having a few big literary conferences, and then being mediocre and down-and-out for more than ten years, until he is almost 40 years old. At that time, it was pitiful for Li Shishi again, a mediocre gangster who was lucky to be mixed up with high-level officials.
There is no beauty of poetry and no sweetness of love.
In his life, there was nothing worth writing about.
For some reason, looking at the falling snow outside the window at this moment, he remembered this.
In the light snow fluttering, the afternoon sky gradually dimmed, and people in the noisy waiting room were gradually being led out. This was a symbol of the senior officials of the Huaxia Army who lived in this area coming back from get off work.Yu Hezhong looked at the people who went out, estimated who the other party was looking for, and estimated the identity, status, and purpose of the other party... When the bell rang at the Youshi, there were gradually lights under the eaves between the nearby courtyards, and there were more lights. Many people were brought out, and most of the people who were brought in during this time period wanted to have meals with others, which showed that they were close to each other.The sound of laughter came, but no one came to call him.
The teacher has not returned yet.
After half of the hour, the receptionist taught people to bring refreshments to this room. When he came over and asked Yu Hezhong to close the window, Yu Hezhong asked about the teacher's itinerary: "Have you come back yet?"
The other party's eyes were complicated and ambiguous: "Oh, yes, who knows... By the way, Mr. Yu hasn't eaten yet. We have a cafeteria here, why don't we go and eat at will?"
"No, no." Yu Hezhong thought for a while, then stood up, "Someone is waiting, I'll go to dinner and come back later."
He didn't want people to feel that the idea of meeting the teacher was too urgent, so he left here and ate a couple of meals in the quaint commercial street nearby. go back.
"Is the teacher back?" He felt that the time was almost up.
"Didn't get the letter?" the receptionist asked.
Yu Hezhong thought for a while: "I didn't get the letter...Is it because I didn't come back or didn't call me."
"Uh, anyway... Mr. Yu's registration on your side, I have already sent it over..."
"Then... is Xiaoling here now?" Yu Hezhong asked about the whereabouts of the life secretary beside the teacher.
The receptionist thought for a while: "Uh...I didn't see you during the day."
That night was the same as the day before: until late at night, no one came out to tell him that he could go in.
At the end of the hour, the receptionist began to persuade the remaining three or five people in the waiting room to leave.
Perhaps the impact of Liu Guangshi's downfall was greater than he imagined, so that the teachers were reluctant to see him again?
He had such an idea in his heart, but after thinking about it carefully, he was unwilling to admit that Shishi would be such a person.
That night, he still managed to calm himself down, and then returned to the yard of another confidante, Gao Wenjing, to rest.This Gao Wenjing is a northern woman, with a somewhat cold and arrogant appearance. She is somewhat similar in temperament to the teacher who often smiled at the major literary conferences more than ten years ago. Yu Hezhong pursued It took a long time for the other party to follow him.When waiting for him to fall asleep at night, Gao Wenjing also asked about Liu Guangshi: "Since Liu Shuai is gone, what is the attitude of the Huaxia Army? Have you asked the sister of the Li family?"
"Of course I have to ask." Yu Hezhong said, "However, the Huaxia Army has been busy recently. For the sake of land reform, they have dispatched more than 1 people to the working group. Let's find a better time in the next few days. Go see her. In fact, this matter is not the most important thing to me. Yan Daolun and the others are really... Liu Gong has gone, and they have become real rootless..."
That night, he tossed and turned, slept and woke up for a while, and the next morning, he suppressed the wild thoughts in his heart, and went to the Maha Pond shortly after dawn.
Another day in the reception room, disturbed and confused.
December thirteenth, repeat.
At this time, it was the fourth day after the news of Liu Guangshi's death reached Chengdu, and various opinions in the public opinion field were constantly fermenting, and Yu Hezhong even felt that the reception staff looked at him a little arrogant.In the past, he and Yan Daolun became the most important people in Chengdu, all because of Liu Guangshi's largest arms deal with the Huaxia Army. Now that the fire under the stove is extinguished, they have also become the most embarrassing group of people, even if they did not deliberately these days. To inquire, Yu Hezhong can also imagine how others are talking about them.
And if the teachers are not willing to see him again, what kind of character is he in Chengdu in Hezhong?
All kinds of thoughts are intertwined in my mind.For a while, I thought about making a big fuss here, saying that Li Shishi would turn his face and not recognize people when he saw that he was down. It was too realistic, but after all, he was timid and didn't dare to mess around; Yi, even if I really want to flatter him, but when I think about it carefully, I realize that Ning Yi has not come back...
The Central Plains have been turned upside down. The two biggest enemies of the Huaxia Army are about to get together and form a covenant. He Ning Yi has not come back to preside over the overall situation for the little things that happened in a hundred villages!
This Huaxia army is so arrogant, and it will end sooner or later.
Fourteen, he shaves his beard in front of the mirror, but the knife is not steady, and he cuts a hole in his face, and the blood is not stopping.On the morning of his arrival, he went to see Yan Daolun again, and Yu Hezhong carefully looked at the other party's expression, but the other party's expression was still as usual, except for a few words about the difficult situation in his mouth, he could not see much anxiety.
"The Huaxia Army may be too busy with something. I estimate that the teacher is not in Chengdu. This matter has also happened in the past. It's okay. I will go there next, at most three or five days. There is news."
Yu Hezhong tried to talk about it as frankly and casually as possible.
Yan Daolun didn't take it seriously: "This is for sure. The Huaxia Army has a different view on the priorities of the matter. You see Mr. Ning, he is not in a hurry to come back." Yu Hezhong said it.
The development of the matter is not unexpected. The "new cultural people" who stood on the side of the Huaxia Army began to open fire on Dai Mengwei's betrayal. Among the old Confucianism and the new Confucianism, the sound market was divided, but standing on the side. The people in their respective positions also became more and more determined.Some old Confucians began to analyze the Great Way of the World more citing scriptures. Some people said that Dai Mengwei was a last resort, some people said that Dai Mengwei and Zou Xu formed an alliance ingeniously. , and began to criticize the practice of dividing the land by the Huaxia Army more violently.
In the past, whether the Huaxia Army destroyed Confucianism or criticized the Confucian scholars, more of them remained in verbal rhetoric. Even after experiencing the prosperity of Chengdu, some Confucian scholars began to offer advice to the Huaxia Army. I hope all the prosperity can be replicated to the outside world.However, the Huaxia Army's "secret organization method" was a small round of intensification, and this time the field division was implemented, and a more decisive intensification came.
Most people have to choose their own position. Some people may not agree that Dai Mengwei is a saint, but in order to prevent the continuous expansion of the land distribution, how can Dai Mengwei not be a saint?Even verbally, it is okay to say that he is a god-man who knows 500 years before and 500 years later-the fairy tales with this statement have been serialized in the supplement of "Tian Du Bao".
After exchanging trivial information, Yu Hezhong hurried to Mahachi again after lunch.
Sitting empty into the night is exhausted.
On December [-]th, Yu Hezhong didn't want to go anymore, so he came out of the courtyard where Gao Wenjing was, and let his servants drive a carriage around the city.In the past, he was a popular figure in the public opinion field. When he was upset, he could go anywhere, but now it is not easy to go anywhere. After considering it for a long time, he made the carriage return to the side where Gao Wenjing lived, and stopped by the roadside for a while. , but dare not go in.
Whether Gao Wenjing or Wei Rou, who said he was a confidante, were actually curious about him looking for Li Shishi's text, can he go back and let her give him some comfort?
But can't go back.
On this day, the light snow had turned into heavy snow, and the people on the road were in a hurry. Yu Hezhong lifted the curtains to look at the clothes of the passers-by on the road. The man with some impression knocked on the door and went in.
Yu Hezhong was stunned for a while.
After the Huaxia Army occupied the southwest, Chengdu did not have the mature brothel system as Jiangnan. This is because the Huaxia Army did not allow forcing good people to become prostitutes in the law, and the behavior of cultivating little girls into prostitutes and thin horses would be severely punished.But such a law belongs to the law. On the other hand, the Huaxia Army did not prevent all kinds of women from other places from entering Chengdu. This may also be an expedient measure to develop experience, but in short, all kinds of famous prostitutes, everyone , Senior escorts still exist in the southwest.
Gao Wenjing and Wei Rou used to be members of this kind of place, but after spending a lot of money on Hezhong, they became the nature of care and support. The two well-educated and talented women no longer operate externally. It was only when there was a need to entertain friends that he showed his face, which gave Yu Hezhong a huge amount of face.
Now the yard where the two live is bought by Yu Hezhong, and all food and clothing expenses are also provided by Yu Hezhong, but who would have thought that someone would come here in private?
His mind was blank for a while, and he asked the servant to find the thug, and then staggered towards the back door of the small courtyard.
After Gao Wenjing was with him, there were not many people in the yard. Yu Hezhong quietly opened the side door and went in, avoiding the servants and sneaking into the front hall.I saw that in the hall where the guests were received, Gao Wenjing actually served tea to the other party.The person who came was named Sun Kang, a big businessman in Chengdu City. It is said that he was a general during the Wu Dynasty. After the fall of the Wu Dynasty, he brought capital to the southwest to seek a living. .
The other party was talking nonsense to Gao Wenjing endlessly.
"...What childhood playmate, you really believe that surname Yu, let me tell you, Wenjing, you only know who is human and who is ghost when the situation changes... He said that Yan Daolun is more nervous, he is talking nonsense, Yan Daolun What kind of background, what ability, what ability does he have in Hezhong... Let me tell you, everyone knows that Li Shishi is Mr. Ning Yining's person, what is Mr. Ning's attitude towards Hezhonghui? Be generous...not this time, you see Liu Guangshi hiccup, Li Shishi is not in the peace at all... You think she has something to do, she is not in Chengdu? Haha, let me tell you, someone saw Minister Li yesterday, She doesn't appear in the peace, what kind of attitude is this, Wen Jing, you taste, you taste... I tell you, follow him, there is no future for Wen Jing..."
I don't know when, there was a buzzing sound in Yu He's brain, and his eyes were red. He took a bottle and went out, and the two people in the hall stood up.Gao Wenjing twisted his hands together: "Lang...Langjun..."
Yu Hezhong gritted his teeth and walked towards Sun Kang: "You two..."
That Sun Kang held his head high, raised his sleeves, and said, "What are you doing?"
Yu Hezhong stopped.
It was only now that he realized that the other party was someone who had practiced martial arts and was a head taller than him, and he had led soldiers outside and fought defeats in the past. As a scholar, it was impossible for him to fight him.
In fact, in the current situation, all parties are staring at the changes on his Yu Hezhong and Yan Daolun's sides, and he shouldn't even come out to catch this traitor.When people catch an adulterer when they are rich and noble, and beat the adulterer, that's what they should. If you catch an adulterer when you are down, everyone will think that you are getting worse and worse, and if you can't catch an adulterer and you are beaten by the other party, then you will have to. Turned into a complete joke in the public opinion field.
Yu He pointed at Sun Kang with trembling fingers, and then pointed at Gao Wenjing.He couldn't hear what Gao Wenjing was distinguishing, and he didn't know how to swear it out. After a while, he said, "This yard belongs to me..." He smashed the porcelain bottle on the ground in his hand and strode out the door. go.
Leaving the yard, he swept away the thugs called by the coachman. He didn't know how he got on the carriage, nor why the carriage went outside the city afterwards.On this day, the wind and snow sang outside, and the scene of white snow passing by the curtain of the car passed by. He just felt cold. At first, his heart was cold. When he realized it, it was getting dark and his body was hungry and cold.He asked the coachman to find him an inn at random. There was not much to eat. In the unfamiliar room, the quilts used by others were dirty and smelly, and there were strange things hanging on the dark beams. He Zhong curled up into a ball, thinking about Gao Wenjing, and thinking about Wei Rou, these two people are probably watching his jokes, and the whole Chengdu city is watching his jokes.
In the middle of the night, I thought of his wife and children far away in Shishou, which was Xiao Zheng's site. Now Xiao Zheng has killed Liu Guangshi with Dai Mengwei, and his wife and children can't come over. He is in the southwest, and he has become a real orphan. , although there is still some money, but no one will look down on him, and no one will care about him.
It was already the morning of December [-]th when he went to the reception room of Maha Pond. On this day, the snow stopped in Chengdu. On the way, he saw all kinds of Confucian scholars rushing to the public opinion field. Maybe the fact that he was humiliated by Sun Kang yesterday will become one of the core of public opinion today, and Yu Hezhong doesn't want to think about it.He waited in the reception room until the afternoon, watching visitors come and go, and had dinner in the cafeteria. At one point, when the lanterns first came on, he suddenly had an idea: Among these high-ranking officials of the Huaxia Army, there were actually And many have no family—if they have wives or parents at home, they can entertain visiting relatives during the day, rather than having to wait until night.
He fell asleep in his seat.
I don't know when someone gently tapped his arm, he woke up, reached out to wipe the saliva from the corner of his mouth, and wanted to talk to the receptionist: "Is it time..." But it wasn't the one who came here. Receptionist.
The teacher squatted aside.She was wearing a simple blue-gray long dress and trousers, her hair was tied up at the back of her head, she was holding a stack of things in her hand, and the snow-covered shoe uppers seemed to have just come back from somewhere - she reached out and patted him.
Suddenly, he seemed to have seen another "Li Shishi" from more than ten years ago. He was still as clear and sweet as before, which was reassuring.It's just that it has a strange temperament that is completely different from when he was in Fanlou. This is a temperament that has never been seen in the entire era in the past, and it is an temperament that can only be seen in the Huaxia Army. A sense of temperament.
"come in."
She led him through the snow-covered road to the simple yet elegant courtyard. There was a small stove in the study. The teacher asked the orderly Xiaoling to cook a bowl of hot noodle soup. Yu Hezhong poured a cup of hot tea.
Yu Hezhong didn't speak, Shishi sat across from him and looked at him. After a while, he spoke.
(End of this chapter)
As the time approached noon, the ice particles that fell in the city gradually turned into snowflakes and fell, dyeing the streets of Chengdu a little white.
It was still the first snow in the southwest this year, and the pedestrians on the road didn't look too embarrassed, and most of them showed novelty.Many people don’t hold umbrellas, just talk and laugh; there are also laughing children chasing and making trouble on the street, even if their family members call on the street, they don’t want to go back.
On the Sifang Tea House, it was the time when the atmosphere in the public opinion field was the most enthusiastic.In the private rooms, the voice of discussion is coming out.
"...In the face of the current situation, how many ways can Duke Dai be calm?"
"What about the current situation? The Jurchen has already gone north. It must be more relaxed than when he went south a few times. When you talk about today's saints, you betrayed your own people for the second time..."
"But who is Duke Dai's opponent! There are Jurchen in the north and Huaxia Army in the south!"
"Originally, Liu Guangshi was not enough, he would only run away..."
"...This remark is really shameless! What Brother He said, it was the first time that Dai Mengwei betrayed his own people. Shang Ke said that he was trying to save many people. This time, he betrayed Liu Guangshi, which is really shameless!"
"...Don't pretend to be confused, Confucianism is about to end!"
"... Alarmist, my generation of Confucian students can still drink tea, eat, and chat here, how can it be said that it is over? Although the Huaxia Army claims to destroy Confucianism, in fact, it is not too much..."
"Isn't it hot? What is he doing now, Ning Yi, don't you understand? He is dividing the fields!"
"What about dividing the land? The Jiangnan Fair Party has just begun to strife."
"How can the Fairness Party be compared with the Huaxia Army? Now that the Southwest divides the fields, it is necessary to have classes and to go out for exercises. When he is in class, he promotes a literacy movement, and asks everyone to put their children in the school, and children from rural households to enter the school. After entering the school, he will be tied to the Huaxia Army in the future, and the three times before the division of the land, he will implement the so-called militia system in various places. The literacy movement makes children tied to it, and the militia system makes adults obey their orders. Ning Yi thought To skip all the scholars, his Confucian extermination is playing for real!"
"...If you can make everyone literate, everyone will be like a dragon, how can you say it's a bad thing?"
"Haha! Haha! Pretend to be confused. Is literacy and teaching people so easy? If those children who know three or five characters can really understand the big truth, of course I have nothing to say, but Ning Yi said this. It's just a means of seizing power. Since the establishment of the Huaxia Army, he has mentioned the so-called human rights and democracy. In the previous imperial examinations, he screened the accountants and the like, and now everyone is literate. A scholar like this. How many people in this world have read the books of sages and sages for decades, he attracts a group of people who have never read books, makes them literate, and puts aside all of you... Don't think that I am Jealousy, but - if such a person can make the world better, why should you and I learn those small words and righteousness for thousands of years... But Ning Yi is really determined, he wants to destroy Confucianism..."
"The Huaxia Army developed papermaking and wanted everyone to have the ability to study. In the past two years, it has been vigorously expanding Shanxue and Xiangxue, but at the beginning, it was only natural to do some literacy enlightenment. These things are step by step, I don't think it's a big deal... …”
"Confucianism does not oppose enlightenment. In the past thousand years, papermaking has not been developed, and the development of things has been too slow. If Ning Yi is really selfless, everyone here will know that it will be better to use the mature Confucian system first to assist rural enlightenment. Ning Yi He is prejudiced and wants to drag a person who only knows a few words to fight against Confucianism. He does not have blood on his knife, and his hands are smarter than everyone else. "
"Even so, what does it have to do with Duke Dai..."
"How much time does Duke Dai have? What can he do in the future when he joins forces with Liu Guangshi and other wastes? After the end of the Southwest War, Ning Yi recuperates in Sichuan and Sichuan. It looks lively and lively outside, but who doesn't know that once the Huaxia army leaves Sichuan, No one in the world can be like this? But with this step of Duke Dai this time, wouldn’t the entire Central Plains suddenly become enlightened?
"I think you are looking at Zou Xu. After all, he is just Ning Yi's disciple..."
"He was Ning Yi's most reliant disciple back then, and there is no one in the world who understands Ning Yi's way better than him. Today, Duke Dai is in charge of Confucianism, and Zou Xu knows the art of examining things. , there is nothing more suitable than the two of them in the world..."
"But listening to his words and watching his actions, Ning Yi's arrangement in Chengdu in the past two years has the atmosphere of a holy king..."
"Yeah, Holy King Shizuo, then I want to ask you a question today - you don't have any land at home!? You don't have any land at home!?"
"You, you, you... I'm waiting for the truth, how can you speculate so dirty..."
"Okay, he Ning Yi went out of Sichuan, first of all to divide the land of your family——"
One by one, loud noises came out, and in the small box on the other side, Yan Daolun and Yu Hezhong were drinking tea while listening to these accents from the next door.Sifang Teahouse is the core public opinion field in Chengdu. Yan Daolun and others who run the restaurant usually listen to some public debates in this way. At this time, Yan Daolun sighed: "Look, this is how many people in the outside world are concerned about what Dai Mengwei has done this time. the opinion of."
Yu Hezhong took a sip of tea: "Usually the master of Tang Qitang is virtuous, but this time he seems to be out of breath. Does this mean that he supports Dai Mengwei and opposes the Huaxia Army, but because he has land at home."
"It's not just what he said." Yan Daolun shook his head, "What he said was how many people in this world would support Dai Mengwei... To be honest, Brother Yu, my Yan family also has land."
"Brother Yan means..."
"It doesn't make any sense, it has nothing to do with the overall situation, just overnight, the world turned upside down, brother Yu, I was also a little confused..."
The two sides met this morning. Yu and the center were anxious. They wanted to go directly to the teacher, but Yan Daolun left him. First, they talked about whether there were high-level personnel surnamed Long in the Huaxia Army, and then listened to the next door. Noisy, rambled a lot about the current situation.Yan Daolun was deeply thoughtful, and he talked about a lot more things with him today than in the past, but Yu Hezhong was so upset that it was difficult to speculate about them one by one.
In the past year, he has been a relationship broker in Chengdu, which has been too smooth.Most of the others are looking for him to do things. If there is any hidden meaning, he will naturally be too lazy to do it, and even if some people have sinister intentions and spend a round with the Huaxia Army, there is nothing to hide.
At this time, after having lunch amid all kinds of nonsense, Yu Hezhong gritted his teeth and asked bluntly: "Brother Yan, if this incident really doesn't end, you Have you considered, let's... cast the Huaxia Army?"
Yan Daolun stared at him for a moment, then sighed: "This matter...let's talk about it."
Amidst the falling snow, Yu Hezhong left the Sifang Restaurant and headed towards the Propaganda Department.
He went to Li Shishi's residence the day before, but in the end he couldn't see anyone. He went to the office of the Propaganda Department that day. After reporting his name, he was told that Deputy Li was not working in the Propaganda Department recently. As for why he went there, No comment.Yu Hezhong and Shishi are usually personal friends. Although they occasionally ask for help, they do not take them to the Propaganda Department, and they are not familiar with this place.Immediately leave here, and go to the residence.
The official residence of Shishi in Chengdu is a small courtyard near the Mahachi.All the high-level officials of the Huaxia Army live here. There is a unified service, reception, and meeting room outside. Many people come here every day, either for business or private affairs. Only after verification or notification will they be taken in.Yu Hezhong was very familiar with this place, and he was already familiar with the receptionist outside. At this time, it was not time for get off work, and the senior officials of the Huaxia Army who were busy with official business were usually not at the residence. Said: "You said, Vice Minister Li will be back at night?"
"This, usually..."
"Then I stayed until last night, why didn't I see you."
"Which department is not busy recently, just to distribute the land, more than 1 people have been sent out. You see, Chengdu has sent more than 1 people. How many people are there working here? Mr. Ning is not in Chengdu recently. what……"
"I know this, but... Deputy Li, did she come back last night?"
"..." Yu Hezhong came here a lot in the past, and it was easy to enter every time, but when he saw him asking here, the receptionist hesitated, "This, Mr. Yu, we are disciplined..."
"Okay, don't ask." Yu Hezhong waved his hand, "When she comes back, tell her that I'm in a hurry."
The other party nodded and agreed with a smile.
The light snow fell outside today, and the waiting room where all kinds of people gathered opened the window, but it was not cold. Yu Hezhong sat by the window and listened to the hustle and bustle of people. The visitors gathered and talked in the room, and some even talked about the "big event" that happened in the Central Plains. An old woman with a patch on her clothes and three yellow-faced and thin country children sat in a corner of the room and waited for others. The two children were probably hungry and cried a lot, and the orderly brought some snacks in to coax them—this was probably a poor relative of a high-ranking official in the Huaxia Army, and it looked like they had come in from outside Yanmen Pass not long ago, and the room was messed up. Like a vegetable market.
Similar things are not uncommon in this waiting room. In the past, Yu Hezhong would go to other places for a stroll, or go to a nearby teahouse for a drink, and come back after calculating the time.But today I don't have that kind of mental leeway. I'm suffering in front of the window with my hands in my hands, and I only use the snow scene outside as a small pastime in boredom.I wanted to recite a few poems, and I thought hard for a long time, but I didn't get anything.
I can't help but think of Bianliang nearly 20 years ago. At that time, my literary talents were not bad, and I met Li Shishi, and often participated in various literary meetings with Chen Sifeng.At that time, there were limited seats in the high-end literary clubs in the capital where big figures participated, and a group of scholars often recited poems and Fu in the lobby of the fan building in order to become famous. He and Chen Sifeng's literary talents were only above average, but with teachers around, they would often be careful They go in together.Yu Hezhong often misses the prosperous atmosphere of the time when celebrities gathered together and received poems and essays.
At that time, among the countless celebrities in the capital, he still had an imagination for the future. At that time, he even thought that he might be the one who would bring peace to the world.
In the following 20 years, Shenzhou land sank, people tossed and turned in the world, what he saw were all kinds of intrigues, bloody fights, warlords, scoundrels, all kinds of barbarians and ordinary people who rose up in peace. After looking for relationships, kneeling down to others, and seeing Shishi again in the southwest in the past two years, I just enjoyed the environment with a straight waist again.But in his heart, Yu Hezhong still regards himself as a literati. Even if he can't reach the upper reaches of the middleman, what really makes him feel comfortable and even fascinated is still the environment in Bianliang back then.
For the administration of the Huaxia Army, and even for Ning Yi, in a place no one knows about, he has a slander.They were too pragmatic and lost the grace of a literate person and the beauty of the ritual of harmony in words and singing.
Ning Yi was like this back then. Even though he could write first-class poems, he had no reverence for everything in words.Chen Sifeng has said in private that he is not a real romantic person.
More than a year after arriving in Chengdu, he did not take the initiative to visit Ning Yi, who everyone wanted to meet. In the final analysis, in his heart, he and the other party were always two types of people.He grew up in a Confucian atmosphere, he wanted to write good poems, he wanted to save the world, he wanted to show himself in every literary meeting, and he wanted to maintain everything that made people respect and bow down.And Ning Yi...
Ning Yi... He is brilliant in writing and excellent in martial arts, but he is a frivolous person from beginning to end. He is married, does business, calculates, kills, and even his teachers once said that he is too incompetent, even those beautiful articles. All the poems must be criticized, but in this world, why are these people always leading the way?
And thinking of the teacher...
It was the most beautiful dream in his heart.
It is not difficult to recognize reality.
But occasionally in the middle of the night, even if he was accompanied by a beautiful woman, he would still think with great annoyance that the teacher and her... After all, he was occupied by the person who had nothing to do with Meng Lang.
In this world, when you are in your 20s, seeing the beauty in front of you, you always feel that the future is full of infinite possibilities, and your heart is always full of hope.But gradually, these possibilities narrowed in front of my eyes. At a certain juncture, I suddenly realized my incompetence, realized that there were only one or two narrow ways out in the future, and that was the darkest moment.
When he came to the southwest and saw Shi Shi again, God almost gave him a second chance.If there is such a possibility, Shishi has him in his heart, then his life, which is gradually approaching forty, will suddenly be so fulfilling. Even the ten years of ups and downs after the age of 20 seem to be in vain. full of meaning.
But these thoughts are just illusions after all. Soon after the reunion, the rumors about the relationship between Shishi and Ning Yi became real. After a certain time, Shishi cleverly admitted it in Yan Yanjian, the consummation of life is still far away from him. And went.Afterwards, if there are any conclusions, his life in Hezhong is nothing more than being favored by Li Shishi in his early twenties and having a few big literary conferences, and then being mediocre and down-and-out for more than ten years, until he is almost 40 years old. At that time, it was pitiful for Li Shishi again, a mediocre gangster who was lucky to be mixed up with high-level officials.
There is no beauty of poetry and no sweetness of love.
In his life, there was nothing worth writing about.
For some reason, looking at the falling snow outside the window at this moment, he remembered this.
In the light snow fluttering, the afternoon sky gradually dimmed, and people in the noisy waiting room were gradually being led out. This was a symbol of the senior officials of the Huaxia Army who lived in this area coming back from get off work.Yu Hezhong looked at the people who went out, estimated who the other party was looking for, and estimated the identity, status, and purpose of the other party... When the bell rang at the Youshi, there were gradually lights under the eaves between the nearby courtyards, and there were more lights. Many people were brought out, and most of the people who were brought in during this time period wanted to have meals with others, which showed that they were close to each other.The sound of laughter came, but no one came to call him.
The teacher has not returned yet.
After half of the hour, the receptionist taught people to bring refreshments to this room. When he came over and asked Yu Hezhong to close the window, Yu Hezhong asked about the teacher's itinerary: "Have you come back yet?"
The other party's eyes were complicated and ambiguous: "Oh, yes, who knows... By the way, Mr. Yu hasn't eaten yet. We have a cafeteria here, why don't we go and eat at will?"
"No, no." Yu Hezhong thought for a while, then stood up, "Someone is waiting, I'll go to dinner and come back later."
He didn't want people to feel that the idea of meeting the teacher was too urgent, so he left here and ate a couple of meals in the quaint commercial street nearby. go back.
"Is the teacher back?" He felt that the time was almost up.
"Didn't get the letter?" the receptionist asked.
Yu Hezhong thought for a while: "I didn't get the letter...Is it because I didn't come back or didn't call me."
"Uh, anyway... Mr. Yu's registration on your side, I have already sent it over..."
"Then... is Xiaoling here now?" Yu Hezhong asked about the whereabouts of the life secretary beside the teacher.
The receptionist thought for a while: "Uh...I didn't see you during the day."
That night was the same as the day before: until late at night, no one came out to tell him that he could go in.
At the end of the hour, the receptionist began to persuade the remaining three or five people in the waiting room to leave.
Perhaps the impact of Liu Guangshi's downfall was greater than he imagined, so that the teachers were reluctant to see him again?
He had such an idea in his heart, but after thinking about it carefully, he was unwilling to admit that Shishi would be such a person.
That night, he still managed to calm himself down, and then returned to the yard of another confidante, Gao Wenjing, to rest.This Gao Wenjing is a northern woman, with a somewhat cold and arrogant appearance. She is somewhat similar in temperament to the teacher who often smiled at the major literary conferences more than ten years ago. Yu Hezhong pursued It took a long time for the other party to follow him.When waiting for him to fall asleep at night, Gao Wenjing also asked about Liu Guangshi: "Since Liu Shuai is gone, what is the attitude of the Huaxia Army? Have you asked the sister of the Li family?"
"Of course I have to ask." Yu Hezhong said, "However, the Huaxia Army has been busy recently. For the sake of land reform, they have dispatched more than 1 people to the working group. Let's find a better time in the next few days. Go see her. In fact, this matter is not the most important thing to me. Yan Daolun and the others are really... Liu Gong has gone, and they have become real rootless..."
That night, he tossed and turned, slept and woke up for a while, and the next morning, he suppressed the wild thoughts in his heart, and went to the Maha Pond shortly after dawn.
Another day in the reception room, disturbed and confused.
December thirteenth, repeat.
At this time, it was the fourth day after the news of Liu Guangshi's death reached Chengdu, and various opinions in the public opinion field were constantly fermenting, and Yu Hezhong even felt that the reception staff looked at him a little arrogant.In the past, he and Yan Daolun became the most important people in Chengdu, all because of Liu Guangshi's largest arms deal with the Huaxia Army. Now that the fire under the stove is extinguished, they have also become the most embarrassing group of people, even if they did not deliberately these days. To inquire, Yu Hezhong can also imagine how others are talking about them.
And if the teachers are not willing to see him again, what kind of character is he in Chengdu in Hezhong?
All kinds of thoughts are intertwined in my mind.For a while, I thought about making a big fuss here, saying that Li Shishi would turn his face and not recognize people when he saw that he was down. It was too realistic, but after all, he was timid and didn't dare to mess around; Yi, even if I really want to flatter him, but when I think about it carefully, I realize that Ning Yi has not come back...
The Central Plains have been turned upside down. The two biggest enemies of the Huaxia Army are about to get together and form a covenant. He Ning Yi has not come back to preside over the overall situation for the little things that happened in a hundred villages!
This Huaxia army is so arrogant, and it will end sooner or later.
Fourteen, he shaves his beard in front of the mirror, but the knife is not steady, and he cuts a hole in his face, and the blood is not stopping.On the morning of his arrival, he went to see Yan Daolun again, and Yu Hezhong carefully looked at the other party's expression, but the other party's expression was still as usual, except for a few words about the difficult situation in his mouth, he could not see much anxiety.
"The Huaxia Army may be too busy with something. I estimate that the teacher is not in Chengdu. This matter has also happened in the past. It's okay. I will go there next, at most three or five days. There is news."
Yu Hezhong tried to talk about it as frankly and casually as possible.
Yan Daolun didn't take it seriously: "This is for sure. The Huaxia Army has a different view on the priorities of the matter. You see Mr. Ning, he is not in a hurry to come back." Yu Hezhong said it.
The development of the matter is not unexpected. The "new cultural people" who stood on the side of the Huaxia Army began to open fire on Dai Mengwei's betrayal. Among the old Confucianism and the new Confucianism, the sound market was divided, but standing on the side. The people in their respective positions also became more and more determined.Some old Confucians began to analyze the Great Way of the World more citing scriptures. Some people said that Dai Mengwei was a last resort, some people said that Dai Mengwei and Zou Xu formed an alliance ingeniously. , and began to criticize the practice of dividing the land by the Huaxia Army more violently.
In the past, whether the Huaxia Army destroyed Confucianism or criticized the Confucian scholars, more of them remained in verbal rhetoric. Even after experiencing the prosperity of Chengdu, some Confucian scholars began to offer advice to the Huaxia Army. I hope all the prosperity can be replicated to the outside world.However, the Huaxia Army's "secret organization method" was a small round of intensification, and this time the field division was implemented, and a more decisive intensification came.
Most people have to choose their own position. Some people may not agree that Dai Mengwei is a saint, but in order to prevent the continuous expansion of the land distribution, how can Dai Mengwei not be a saint?Even verbally, it is okay to say that he is a god-man who knows 500 years before and 500 years later-the fairy tales with this statement have been serialized in the supplement of "Tian Du Bao".
After exchanging trivial information, Yu Hezhong hurried to Mahachi again after lunch.
Sitting empty into the night is exhausted.
On December [-]th, Yu Hezhong didn't want to go anymore, so he came out of the courtyard where Gao Wenjing was, and let his servants drive a carriage around the city.In the past, he was a popular figure in the public opinion field. When he was upset, he could go anywhere, but now it is not easy to go anywhere. After considering it for a long time, he made the carriage return to the side where Gao Wenjing lived, and stopped by the roadside for a while. , but dare not go in.
Whether Gao Wenjing or Wei Rou, who said he was a confidante, were actually curious about him looking for Li Shishi's text, can he go back and let her give him some comfort?
But can't go back.
On this day, the light snow had turned into heavy snow, and the people on the road were in a hurry. Yu Hezhong lifted the curtains to look at the clothes of the passers-by on the road. The man with some impression knocked on the door and went in.
Yu Hezhong was stunned for a while.
After the Huaxia Army occupied the southwest, Chengdu did not have the mature brothel system as Jiangnan. This is because the Huaxia Army did not allow forcing good people to become prostitutes in the law, and the behavior of cultivating little girls into prostitutes and thin horses would be severely punished.But such a law belongs to the law. On the other hand, the Huaxia Army did not prevent all kinds of women from other places from entering Chengdu. This may also be an expedient measure to develop experience, but in short, all kinds of famous prostitutes, everyone , Senior escorts still exist in the southwest.
Gao Wenjing and Wei Rou used to be members of this kind of place, but after spending a lot of money on Hezhong, they became the nature of care and support. The two well-educated and talented women no longer operate externally. It was only when there was a need to entertain friends that he showed his face, which gave Yu Hezhong a huge amount of face.
Now the yard where the two live is bought by Yu Hezhong, and all food and clothing expenses are also provided by Yu Hezhong, but who would have thought that someone would come here in private?
His mind was blank for a while, and he asked the servant to find the thug, and then staggered towards the back door of the small courtyard.
After Gao Wenjing was with him, there were not many people in the yard. Yu Hezhong quietly opened the side door and went in, avoiding the servants and sneaking into the front hall.I saw that in the hall where the guests were received, Gao Wenjing actually served tea to the other party.The person who came was named Sun Kang, a big businessman in Chengdu City. It is said that he was a general during the Wu Dynasty. After the fall of the Wu Dynasty, he brought capital to the southwest to seek a living. .
The other party was talking nonsense to Gao Wenjing endlessly.
"...What childhood playmate, you really believe that surname Yu, let me tell you, Wenjing, you only know who is human and who is ghost when the situation changes... He said that Yan Daolun is more nervous, he is talking nonsense, Yan Daolun What kind of background, what ability, what ability does he have in Hezhong... Let me tell you, everyone knows that Li Shishi is Mr. Ning Yining's person, what is Mr. Ning's attitude towards Hezhonghui? Be generous...not this time, you see Liu Guangshi hiccup, Li Shishi is not in the peace at all... You think she has something to do, she is not in Chengdu? Haha, let me tell you, someone saw Minister Li yesterday, She doesn't appear in the peace, what kind of attitude is this, Wen Jing, you taste, you taste... I tell you, follow him, there is no future for Wen Jing..."
I don't know when, there was a buzzing sound in Yu He's brain, and his eyes were red. He took a bottle and went out, and the two people in the hall stood up.Gao Wenjing twisted his hands together: "Lang...Langjun..."
Yu Hezhong gritted his teeth and walked towards Sun Kang: "You two..."
That Sun Kang held his head high, raised his sleeves, and said, "What are you doing?"
Yu Hezhong stopped.
It was only now that he realized that the other party was someone who had practiced martial arts and was a head taller than him, and he had led soldiers outside and fought defeats in the past. As a scholar, it was impossible for him to fight him.
In fact, in the current situation, all parties are staring at the changes on his Yu Hezhong and Yan Daolun's sides, and he shouldn't even come out to catch this traitor.When people catch an adulterer when they are rich and noble, and beat the adulterer, that's what they should. If you catch an adulterer when you are down, everyone will think that you are getting worse and worse, and if you can't catch an adulterer and you are beaten by the other party, then you will have to. Turned into a complete joke in the public opinion field.
Yu He pointed at Sun Kang with trembling fingers, and then pointed at Gao Wenjing.He couldn't hear what Gao Wenjing was distinguishing, and he didn't know how to swear it out. After a while, he said, "This yard belongs to me..." He smashed the porcelain bottle on the ground in his hand and strode out the door. go.
Leaving the yard, he swept away the thugs called by the coachman. He didn't know how he got on the carriage, nor why the carriage went outside the city afterwards.On this day, the wind and snow sang outside, and the scene of white snow passing by the curtain of the car passed by. He just felt cold. At first, his heart was cold. When he realized it, it was getting dark and his body was hungry and cold.He asked the coachman to find him an inn at random. There was not much to eat. In the unfamiliar room, the quilts used by others were dirty and smelly, and there were strange things hanging on the dark beams. He Zhong curled up into a ball, thinking about Gao Wenjing, and thinking about Wei Rou, these two people are probably watching his jokes, and the whole Chengdu city is watching his jokes.
In the middle of the night, I thought of his wife and children far away in Shishou, which was Xiao Zheng's site. Now Xiao Zheng has killed Liu Guangshi with Dai Mengwei, and his wife and children can't come over. He is in the southwest, and he has become a real orphan. , although there is still some money, but no one will look down on him, and no one will care about him.
It was already the morning of December [-]th when he went to the reception room of Maha Pond. On this day, the snow stopped in Chengdu. On the way, he saw all kinds of Confucian scholars rushing to the public opinion field. Maybe the fact that he was humiliated by Sun Kang yesterday will become one of the core of public opinion today, and Yu Hezhong doesn't want to think about it.He waited in the reception room until the afternoon, watching visitors come and go, and had dinner in the cafeteria. At one point, when the lanterns first came on, he suddenly had an idea: Among these high-ranking officials of the Huaxia Army, there were actually And many have no family—if they have wives or parents at home, they can entertain visiting relatives during the day, rather than having to wait until night.
He fell asleep in his seat.
I don't know when someone gently tapped his arm, he woke up, reached out to wipe the saliva from the corner of his mouth, and wanted to talk to the receptionist: "Is it time..." But it wasn't the one who came here. Receptionist.
The teacher squatted aside.She was wearing a simple blue-gray long dress and trousers, her hair was tied up at the back of her head, she was holding a stack of things in her hand, and the snow-covered shoe uppers seemed to have just come back from somewhere - she reached out and patted him.
Suddenly, he seemed to have seen another "Li Shishi" from more than ten years ago. He was still as clear and sweet as before, which was reassuring.It's just that it has a strange temperament that is completely different from when he was in Fanlou. This is a temperament that has never been seen in the entire era in the past, and it is an temperament that can only be seen in the Huaxia Army. A sense of temperament.
"come in."
She led him through the snow-covered road to the simple yet elegant courtyard. There was a small stove in the study. The teacher asked the orderly Xiaoling to cook a bowl of hot noodle soup. Yu Hezhong poured a cup of hot tea.
Yu Hezhong didn't speak, Shishi sat across from him and looked at him. After a while, he spoke.
