Dialogue between ancient and modern: I create programs, national treasures have spirits

Chapter 212 Sage, it’s on fire
Lu Ze remembered that a great writer once said: The sewer is the conscience of a city, and all dirty and decaying things in modern society will be washed into the sewer.

Of course, which great writer said it, Lu Ze can't remember clearly, maybe it was Hugo, maybe it was Leo Tolstoy.

But it is also possible to apply it in this world.

The prosperity of a big city doesn't mean anything. A small town like this can best reflect the strength of a country.

Confucianism emphasizes the mean, and the small town just happens to be in the same position. There are not only the shadows of the prosperity of the big cities, but also the traces of the decline of the small villages.

Going further, for example, the place where the Lu clan is located is extremely prosperous, and all you see in your eyes is the atmosphere of singing and dancing, so it doesn't reflect much.

At most, it’s just for people’s enjoyment.

If it is a poor mountain village with no food and clothing, that doesn't mean anything. Not all the people are like this, but anyone with hands and feet can satisfy themselves with more than enough food and clothing.

Of course, this is also limited to this era. If Daliang is a little weaker, or it is the end of the dynasty, the scene will be even more different.

Lu Ze felt that this dynasty was a bit like the Song Dynasty in the previous life, except that one was more civilized than military, while Daliang was more military than literary. The same thing is that the big cities were extremely prosperous, and the others were naturally more difficult.

After entering Qingyuan Town, seeing so many people coming in, the people in the town were more or less surprised and curious, but because of the girl, the group of people did not look for the inn, but went directly to the rich man in the town. account went.

When the common people saw it, they also had a look of sudden realization. The wealthy households in this town are still somewhat famous, at least in the eyes of the common people, those who can afford such a team are the wealthy households.

The people on the side of the road were chatting in low voices, lest they offend Lu Ze and his party, but after Lu Ze got started in martial arts, he had sharp ears and eyes, so he could hear clearly.

"I heard that Zhang's daughter was robbed a few days ago, but I didn't expect someone to rescue her!"

"These people are not easy to mess with at first glance, it seems that they have real skills."

"The Zhang family paid 200 taels of silver. This is a lot of money."

"Xiaoyunshan is not a good person. A few people went there after accepting the reward, but they haven't come back now. It's probably because of the reward."

"What are you talking about offering a reward? Everyone has been rescued."

The whispers continued, and Lu Ze also admired these elders and aunts. The girl was just excited because she was close to the village. She lifted the curtain of the car and took a look, and they discovered it.

The location of the Zhang family is not difficult to find. In this kind of town, there are not too many wealthy households, only one or two, and they like to hang a plaque on the door, which is like a guiding light.

Most people can't hang this plaque, and it would be ridiculed if one's own house is too small to hang it. It must be a wealthy family to hang it, and it can't go beyond the etiquette.

Although it is said that the Great Liang puts more emphasis on martial arts than literature, the word etiquette and law, no matter which court, attaches great importance to it, just like the place where the emperor lives, becomes a "palace" or "temple", and no one else can use it like this.

There used to be only the imperial palace, or the Hall of Supreme Harmony, the Hall of Ziwei, etc. Have you ever heard of Zhang Dian and Li Dian.

Of course, the Mahavira Hall and the Manjusri Bodhisattva Hall in the monk's temple are different. They are high-ranking gods, so they are naturally qualified to use them, but there should be no more in Daliang. Clean up.

As for the prince and the like, it is natural to use a certain palace, such as the Ning Palace that Lu Ze is going to. The first-class Zhongyong uncle's mansion bestowed by the ancestor emperor is much better than the brand of Prince Ning's mansion in terms of preciousness.

And the wealthy households in Qingyuan Town, or the wealthy households in big cities, usually use a certain house, or a certain house, at most a certain house.

On the plaque hanging in the Zhang family, there are two big gilt characters written on it - Zhang Zhai.

This is naturally a manifestation of etiquette.

To be an exception, or to say that after Emperor Wu of Liang, the name of "Dian" can still be used, apart from the imperial palace, there is only "Wu Sheng Dian".

What's interesting is that Guan Yu is still the martial sage in Daliang and even in this world.

I don't know how history goes, there are some signs of the same.

The name is still the same, and the people are also very similar, the same red face, the same Qinglongyanyue knife, and the same chasing red rabbit horse.

It made Lu Ze feel a little more cordial.

Anyway, they are also two characters from the same world.

As we approached Zhang's house, we saw two mighty stone lions sitting on both sides, with a big red light hanging high above, the gate was closed, and there were two domestic servants at the door, dressed in green clothes, with their hats on their heads askew. Kind of funny.

When the servant saw someone coming to the door, it was still a group of people, so he quickly greeted him with a smile on his face, and asked respectfully, "Who are you two adults looking for?"

The tone is respectful, and the eyesight is really good, so you can tell who is in charge here at a glance.

Those who can be sent to guard the gate are naturally people with sharp eyesight, otherwise they will get into trouble in vain if they offend others.

The female general didn't answer, it seemed that she was self-confident. Lu Ze didn't pay much attention to this. In his previous life, he had a good tongue in order to clean up, so he said immediately: "We passed Xiaoyun Mountain, rescued your Zhang family's daughter, and specially escorted her back. .”

When the servant heard this, his expression changed and he knelt down immediately: "It turns out to be the benefactor. Please wait a moment. I will go to Master Tong Bing immediately!"

After finishing speaking, he hurriedly entered the door, waited for a while, the door opened, and a man dressed outside the staff came out in a hurry, and said as he walked: "You have no eyesight, please directly invite the benefactor to enter. Home is right, why did you keep your benefactor waiting outside?"

As he spoke, he stepped out of the door, and when he saw the tall horse, and then he looked at the imposing appearance, the members of Zhang's family had seen him before, but he had never seen such an imposing figure in his life, so he knelt on the ground at that time: "I don't know if it is two The lord arrived, but he did not greet him from afar, and I hope that the lord will forgive me."

Lu Ze is aware of this battle, so he is not surprised. Of course, his thinking has changed a lot in that month. In this era, there is no equality between officials and the people. If you make a big taboo, you will catch it very well, but you will be punished.

Of course, generally speaking, ordinary people don't have this kind of insight. It is said that those who don't know are innocent, so naturally no one asks for so much.

But the Zhang family is different, Lu Ze has already come to the door, and the Zhang family is a discerning master, so it is impossible not to welcome them.

"Those who don't know you are not to blame. It's because we were abrupt. We came here suddenly. Please forgive me."

Lu Ze spoke very politely, and Zhang Yuanwai naturally stood up in trepidation: "How dare you, it is already a blessing for the grassroots if you are willing to forgive, please come to the house to tell me."

Lu Ze got off his horse and said with a smile: "You're polite, it's fate. We rescued a girl in Xiaoyun Mountain. After questioning, I found out that it was Yuanwai's daughter. To be on the safe side, I came here. Yuanzhen, there is something abrupt, the staff members must forgive me."

"Oh, my lord saved the grass-roots daughter. This is a great kindness. The grass-roots can't repay you. Please accept the grass-people's worship."

As he said that, Zhang Yuanwai was about to kneel down again, Lu Ze hurriedly helped him up, and said with a smile, "In the year of Yuanwai's destiny, I'm just a junior, so I dare not accept the gift from him again, not to mention that it is our responsibility to be brave when seeing righteousness. Why do you need to be polite?"

The two exchanged a few words with each other, and then entered the house one by one. During the period, Yuanwai Zhang saw that his daughter was safe, so he was very emotional. Tears came down immediately. When the father and daughter met, the love was naturally deep. .

Another thank you, at the request of Zhang Yuanwai, and as it was getting late, the group stayed in Zhang's house.

The guards were naturally happy. They didn't have to lie on the wet ground, and they didn't have to light a fire to cook and patrol. It was also a good thing that they could sleep peacefully.

Coupled with the convenience of bathing, even the female general did not refuse, but just let Lu Ze talk, without saying a word during the period, like a wooden stake.

Lu Ze didn't find it strange at all, thinking that the female general is now in a high position, so she must not be used to talking about these things with ordinary people.

In the evening, Zhang's house had a big banquet, and Lu Ze and Zhang Yuanwai exchanged cups and chatted happily. During the period, Zhang Yuanwai carefully tested whether Lu Ze was married many times, but was blocked by Lu Ze. It can be said that Watertight.

After the dinner was over, Lu Ze was still not sleepy when it was late at night. In addition, after entering the door of martial arts, he felt itchy, so he went out, performed lightness kung fu carefully, and climbed onto the beam.

As soon as he went up, he found that there was another person on it.

White robe, white armor and white mask, only a pair of sharp eyes.

"Why does the general have the pleasure to watch the moon here?"

Lu Ze smiled embarrassingly. It seems that he came at the wrong time. Didn't this disturb the woman's interest.

But of course it won't work, it's too obvious. "

"Can't sleep!"

The female general responded lightly, without saying anything, the two were separated by five or six steps, and the shadow dragged very long under the moonlight.

Everyone has their own concerns, and each has their own troubles to sleep, and the atmosphere has cooled down for a while.

After a while, Lu Ze said again: "It's been half a month since I came out, and I still don't know the name of the general. Can you tell me something?"

"An Xuanye."

Lu Ze was stunned. Originally he just wanted to ask a few questions before going down, but he didn't expect that he actually asked his name this time.

"General An seems to be in a good mood, and he is willing to tell me his name."

"The name is just a code name, not to mention that you will know it sooner or later when you arrive in the capital."

An Xuanye looked over with sharp eyes, and the meaning was self-evident.

Lu Ze smiled awkwardly, unable to pick up the conversation, so he turned around and said, "Although the name is a code name, it is also an indispensable thing. There are so many men and women in the world, and there is only one An Xuanye."

"How do you know there is no other An Xuanye?"

"Of course I don't know if there are others, but as far as I know, there is only one."

"Hehe, you are so smooth-tongued. I didn't expect the heir of the Lu family to be so eloquent. You should really pull out your tongue."

Lu Ze's back turned cold, and his heart trembled. He didn't know if other people had the guts, but the woman in front of him, Lu Ze, was indeed a little uncertain. She was powerful, and her face was a mystery. He didn't dare to offend her. , that's still a disadvantage to him, he immediately smiled and said: "What does General An think the Lu family's heir should look like?"

"What's it like?"

An Xuanye glanced at Lu Ze lightly, "According to the information, the eldest son of the Lu family is just an unlearned, inexperienced, useless waste. If he was not born in the Lu family, he might not be able to survive. It's all two words."

The corner of Lu Ze's mouth twitched, why did you say it so bluntly, but looking back on what he did before, it is difficult for him to refute, but one of the points he really wants to correct his name: "General An said, the big difference is not bad, but the I don't agree with lingering flowers and plants, the Lu family has strict rules, although I have been in and out of brothels and restaurants, I have not done anything beyond the rules."

It is strange to say that the predecessor often went to the brothel, although he was ambitious and courageous, but he was afraid of the family rules, so naturally he did not dare to do anything out of the ordinary. , fell into the water!
After An Xuanye heard it, she naturally sneered: "What is the difference between what the son said, and those who sing in the brothel saying that they are pure and pure?"

"Well, there is really no difference, it's just that I have a clear conscience."

"Women still have the restraint of guarding the palace, but men have no restraint. They are romantic by nature. If it falls into my hands, you must act decisively!"

"Although men don't have palace guards, but they have sages in their hearts, they are naturally restrained."

"Then dare to ask who is the sage in the heart of the world? Confucius? Mencius? Or martial arts?"

An Xuanye stared at Lu Ze, "Maybe it's just the son's rhetoric, full of benevolence, righteousness and morality, and men steal women and prostitutes behind their backs."

"The sage in my heart..."

Looking at An Xuanye's increasingly dangerous eyes, Lu Ze was not afraid, and said seriously, "It's just four words."

"Which four words?"

An Xuanye seemed a bit aggressive, and Lu Ze seemed to be a little bit upbeat. Just as he was about to speak, he saw sparks light up in the east garden of the Zhang residence, and then raging flames shot up into the sky.

An Xuanye's five senses were astonishing, and she naturally felt the fire. Immediately, her eyes narrowed, she turned around, and disappeared on the roof in an instant.

Lu Ze followed naturally, but his lightness skills were average, and he had not yet entered the door. Naturally, he was a lot worse. He went down the roof carefully, and when he met Zhang Yuanwai who was shouted anxiously, he immediately asked: " Besides, the east courtyard is on fire, is there anyone living there?"

"My lord, no one lives there. It's just that my Zhang family's classics are all in it. Now it's on fire. It's really a catastrophe."

Member Zhang looked anxious on the outside. He got up in a hurry as soon as he received the news just now, just in time to meet Lu Ze who came down from the roof.

At this moment, I can only hope that the servants can put out the fire as soon as possible and keep the family classics, otherwise he will be a sinner of the Zhang family. After a hundred years, how can he face the ancestors of the Zhang family.
