To Rule in a Turbulent World

You Miao's grief was uncontrollable, and she choked up and said, "The Han people lost badly..."

Li Zhifeng said, "I will call you back later."

You Miao couldn't help laughing again, and wiped away tears helplessly. Just now when she heard Zhao Chao's defeat, the indignation and sadness filled her chest, but she didn't know how to say it to Li Zhifeng. Tell yourself how sad you are because your country lost a war.That kind of emotion can't even be explained in words, and Li Zhifeng's light answer made him even more dumbfounded.

"Forget it." You Miao said helplessly, copying the book listlessly.

There has been no news from the capital, spring and autumn come, days are short and nights are long, and time passes.

This year was a good year, and the grain and rice in the south of the Yangtze River were piled up.

Qiao Jue's tea forest has finally officially started producing Jiangbo Oolong.This oolong is also called "beauty kiss".Because every piece of tea leaves is selected from the best young leaves, and even if the young leaves are picked by the girl's fingertips, there is still no guarantee that there will be no injuries, so she gently picks it from the top of the tree with her soft lips.

You Miao accumulated 38 catties of grain, and the rice in the south of the Yangtze River was cheap. The landlords were unwilling to sell the rice, so they took it back into the warehouse.

One day, when You Miaochun came to Sun's mansion after harvesting, Sun Yu didn't let him study as usual, but asked him to make tea.

You Miao brewed good tea and Jiang Bo Dongding Oolong from Qiao Jue's pit. In the past few years, she has been serving Sun Yu with all her heart. She only hopes that he can teach her something more. Tea, good honey harvested in spring, plum wine soaked in summer, crabs and turtles harvested in autumn, winter bamboo shoots and cured meat, including the aged No. After studying hard, he taught almost everything he had learned in his life.

Sun Yu said: "You Miao."

You Miao offered the tea with both hands, bowed and said, "The student is here."

Sun Yu said slowly, "What books have you read and what have you learned in the past three years under the teacher's school?"

You Miao thought for a while and said, "There are too many, and the students can't remember them for a while."

Sun Yu said: "You have read the Four Books and Five Classics thoroughly."

You Miao hurriedly said: "I read it, but I dare not explain it thoroughly."

Sun Yu: "Five or six times out of ten, it's enough to write a well-balanced article to bluff people."

You Miao didn't dare to answer, Sun Yu said again: "Know it before acting, you understand."

You Miao: "Yes."

Sun Yu: "Look at "Zhuangzi" and "Tao De Jing". To be a human being, you must do something. I can go with the flow and go to see the King of Hades."

You Miao: "Yes, students remember."

Sun Yu: "You can't learn too much obscene words and songs. Don't be honest when writing, and don't chase after words, eloquently, and talk nonsense."

You Miao: "Yes, the students follow the lesson carefully."

Sun Yu: "'Self-knowledge', I think you also remember it."

You Miao didn't know what Sun Yu meant by mentioning this matter, she sweated, and replied with apprehension: "It's ashamed to say that it's not enough for students to study things."

Sun Yu: "Then I will test you, who do you want to be?"

You Miao replied respectfully, with the principle of investigating things: "Like a pine, it is not afraid of the wind, like a stone, it is not afraid of the waves, and does not follow the trend. Be a gentleman, and have the thought of serving the country in your heart. Like a bamboo, you will follow the trend occasionally, but you will not change your true colors. , keep your heart, persevere, hide your strengths and bide your time, and show weakness to wait for an opportunity to counterattack."

Sun Yu nodded and said, "It's easy to break if you are strong, but you will be humiliated when you are extremely strong. You must be full of eight points for being a human being."

You Miao: "Yes, yes."

Sun Yu: "Do you still remember what you said when you came to the teacher on the first day?"

After being asked by Sun Yu, You Miao remembered, and replied: "Cultivate one's body and family, govern the country and the world."

"Very good." Sun Yu nodded with his beard: "You are an ambitious person. The messenger came the day before yesterday. This year, Enke will be opened in the capital, and students from all over the country can go to Beijing for the test. Go back and prepare, and you will be on the road in three days, so you don't need to come again Farewell to the teacher."

will try? !You Miao hadn't been to Beijing for three full years, and she was at a loss when she heard this.It seems like a long time has passed since the day he came back from the capital, so long that the two are almost irrelevant.

When Sun Yu said that he was asked to take the exam, You Miao suddenly became a little timid, and that timidity was revealed in Sun Yu's eyes, and Sun Yu immediately became angry.

Sun Yu's face darkened: "Man, man, don't want to serve the country, what kind of sage books do you read? If you said this a day earlier, the teacher wouldn't bother to punish you! Do you want to spend your whole life guarding a few acres of Susukida in the south of the Yangtze River? ?”

You Miao immediately realized her mistake, and distinguished: "No... no, teacher, I just heard that I was going back to Beijing, and I was a little afraid of seeing old people. I will definitely go."

Sun Yu sneered and said, "I know you always have the idea of ​​getting rich and being safe..."

You Miao hurriedly said: "Students dare not..."

Sun Yu shouted: "Listen! If you can assist Mingjun one day and benefit the world, the country will be a million hectares of fertile land for you to manage! The country is a chessboard for you to gallop! With this ability, why are you afraid to govern the world? With this Determined? Why don’t you treat all people kindly?! Treat the world as your villa, and the common people as your residents, that’s the only way to be benevolent!”

These words were like a slap in the face, which made You Miao's heart tremble, and he bowed and knelt down, and said in a deep voice: "The students have been taught, and they will definitely live up to the teacher's expectations."

Then Sun Yu's face softened, nodded slowly, and said: "You are my student, so you should go. Based on what you have learned, it is not difficult to get a champion. Reason, don't seek glory, don't fight for fame."

You Miao's heart was pounding, she nodded, her eyes were a little red again, Sun Yu took out another letter from her arms, and said: "If you don't deal with your father, you won't end up with his stingy philistine stench, It is also a blessing, you will be able to go further if you take off the hat of a dandy. After going to Beijing, if you have nowhere to stay, you can follow the instructions in the letter and go to the Imperial College, and you will be provided with food."

You Miao took the letter, with mixed emotions in an instant, and immediately kowtowed three times to Sun Yu respectfully.

Sun Yu received the gift safely, and You Miao felt a little bit reluctant to part with him, and said with red eyes, "Teacher..."

Sun Yu said slowly: "You should remember your promise to the teacher, cultivate yourself and serve the country, and remember not to do anything wrong, go."

You Miao nodded to receive the training, retreated, took the letter, and stood outside the second gate of the Sun Mansion, feeling filled with emotion for a moment.

Li Zhifeng was sitting in the teahouse across the street, and You Miao suddenly realized that this person had been the same for decades, as if he had never changed. When I met him at the age of 15, I met him like that. Now that I am myself, growing up to the height of his ears, Li Zhifeng still looks like that.

As if the hustle and bustle of the world and the billowing smoke and dust had nothing to do with him, You Miao walked across the street with a letter in his arms. Li Zhifeng was listening to a book. The storyteller was talking about the thirteen generals of the Hu clan. It took two steps to realize it.

"Why so fast today?" Li Zhifeng couldn't help asking after studying You Miao's face.

You Miao replied: "I have graduated from the teacher, and I will go to the test."

Li Zhifeng hummed, but seeing the expression didn't quite understand, You Miao said, "Go to Beijing."

Li Zhifeng asked: "Take me there?"

You Miao said: "Of course, otherwise who will accompany me?"

Li Zhifeng said happily: "Go, go back and pack your things."

You Miao was full of feelings of parting, and was dismissed by Li Zhifeng, so he had no choice but to go back to the villa with him without laughing or laughing.
