"Lord Wu, the so-called love of the house and Wu, the people love the saint, and this king has only been stained with some light. The people of Hangzhou all respect the saint, and Lord Wu should report to the saint the admiration of the people of Hangzhou when he goes back. Guo Bing said lightly.

"Yes, yes, what the prince said is very true." Wu Chunlai sneered in his heart, the prince who ordered his words was a little panicked, the explanation was to cover up, what is the use of covering up? Aren't you going to report the scene of the people calling the prince for a thousand years old today? You buy people's hearts in Hangzhou, what's the use of quibbles?

"Lord Wang, Lord Wu, let's sit down and talk, there are two poles on the moon, and the hour is not early." Yan Zhengsu reminded in a deep voice.

"Yes, yes, take a seat, today's Mid-Autumn Festival, you don't have to be restrained, sit at will. Oh yes, Lord Wu, I heard that you are a student of my Hangzhou Songshan Academy, Ye and No? I don't know if you've met your mentor? Guo Bing asked with a smile.

Wu Chunlai's face turned red, and he cursed secretly in his heart. This is already the second person to reveal his scars in person. It seems that these people know the past between themselves and Fang Dunru.

"Isn't this to welcome the prince? The prince sat down for a while, and then the lower official went to see his teacher. Wu Chunlai arched his hand.

"Hehehe, okay, I heard that Lord Wu respects his teacher, and when I saw it today, it was really the case. Be a role model. Guo Bing smiled and walked towards the table seat, feeling proud. Guo Bing almost forgot to poke Wu Chunlai's sore spot just now, but now that he finally pointed out the matter, looking at Wu Chunlai's embarrassed appearance, Guo Bing's heart was full of happiness. It can be regarded as avenging the revenge of Wu Chunlai's words just now, which was faintly threatening.

Guo Bing's father and son sat down on the seats, and the officials sat down one after another, and the VIP seats soon fell silent. All eyes were on the three water stages in front of them, and the Oiran Contest should soon begin.

Guo Kun noticed the abnormality, frowned and said in a low voice: "What the hell is Lin Jue doing?" Why is our stage in Hangzhou still covered with black cloth? Isn't it yet finished? ”

Guo Bing had already seen this scene and couldn't help frowning.

Guo Caiwei is also a little worried, she knows the process of debugging and post-decoration installation of this stage, a lot of things have to be installed, and the time is indeed very rushed. In the evening, she had to leave the scene and go back to the palace to bathe and change clothes, and accompany her father and brother, so she did not know the progress of the progress.

"Perhaps...... It's still in the process of being debugged. I believe that Lin Jue will arrange it soon. The little county lord said softly.

"Hmph. I heard that he insisted on demolishing the built floating platform and rebuilding it, if he couldn't catch up, would he have to borrow the floating platform of Jiangning Mansion and Yangzhou Mansion? Could it be that he is deliberately demolishing our platform? Embarrass us? Guo Kun said coldly.

"Brother!" Guo Caiwei said in a coquettish voice: "What are you talking about." He hasn't closed his eyes for a few days, and he's as busy as a spinning top, but you say this kind of thing, how can you not teach people to chill? ”

Guo Kun shouted: "What if Lin Jue works hard? We want results. Don't always speak for him. ”

Guo Bing frowned and said, "Kun'er, don't be angry with your sister, and don't say these things." Do not talk nonsense before men. Wei'er, you also have to pay attention to your words and deeds. I don't think Lin Jue should make a mistake. I still have faith in him, and thinking about what he has done before, he is by no means a person who has no rules in his chest. ”

As soon as Guo Bing's words fell, the little county lord suddenly pointed ahead and shouted: "The curtain has been removed, the curtain has been removed, it seems that it has been completed." ”

Guo Bing's father and son raised their eyes, and sure enough, the curtain around the tall stage was falling off from the top floor, and they all evacuated in a moment. However, what is disappointing is that the lights of the whole stage are dark and gloomy, and there is no imaginary appearance of colorful flowers at all.

"This is the stage he made? That's it? Big is big, high is high, but what's the use of that? It's over, I'm afraid I'm going to make a fool of myself tonight. Guo Kun said angrily.

Guo Kun's disappointment was also the disappointment of all the people in Hangzhou present, who also saw what the stage would look like after the curtain was lifted. A few lanterns hung on the stage and swayed, so dark that no one could see the scene on the stage. This scene is really shabby. Especially compared with the other two pontoons with brilliant lights on both sides, it is simply a cloud of mud. People are flickering red silk fluttering, and the lonely lights of Hangzhou Mansion are indeed swaying, like an unfinished broken building standing in the water, which is simply embarrassing.

In the crowd, the people from Jiangning Mansion and Yangzhou Mansion were broken, and when the black cloth was covered, they thought that there was something outstanding about the stage of Hangzhou Mansion, which was full of imagination. However, after revealing it, it was like this, and it really laughed off the big teeth. Many people couldn't help but ridicule again, which caused the people of Hangzhou next to them to scold. If it weren't for the angry Ning Navy soldiers in the middle, the leather whips in their hands crackling, the two sides were afraid that another fight would break out.

……

At this moment, Wu Chunlai was standing on a separate floating platform in front of the VIP seat, where was the judge's seat. Sitting in front of him was his former mentor Fang Dunru. In fact, Wu Chun didn't plan to meet Fang Dunru when he came to Hangzhou, and he actually felt ashamed of betraying his mentor eighteen years ago. After all, he is also a reader, and he still has some shame in his stomach full of sage books. However, Wu Chunlai did not regret his original decision.

What's wrong with wanting to get ahead and not doing nothing? At the beginning, the teacher resolutely refused to help him seek to stay in the capital, so he had to find another way. If it is only right and wrong, it is true that it is wrong for him to betray Fang Dunru, is it not wrong for Fang Dunru to be old-fashioned and pedantic and unwilling to think about his future? What's wrong with camping for the future? In this world, if you want to get ahead, how can you simply judge right and wrong? If you have high ambitions and the teacher refuses to help, then don't blame yourself for climbing another high branch.

Now that he has a stable position in the court, although he is only a minister, he actually has a lot of weight in the court. In time, I will be able to go further, and it is only a matter of time before I pay homage. On the other hand, the teacher lives in the mountains and becomes a mountain chief. If I hadn't made that choice at the beginning, would I have advanced and retreated with him and come here to be a college professor? That's ridiculous. In a sense, his betrayal of his master was the wisest choice in his life.

But these are inner thoughts, and that thing is disgraceful after all. It is still despicable to betray the teacher and steal those poems written by the teacher in private as evidence to frame the teacher. The teacher didn't expose these behaviors, and he was still very grateful. Therefore, in fact, Wu Chunlai has been making some amends and efforts, hoping to bridge the relationship between the parties to the contract. It's not for anything else, but I hope that this kind of overture can appease Fang Dunru and prevent him from revealing the details of his betrayal of him in the first place. This can be regarded as a small trick of his own.

Of course, even if Fang Dunru said those things back then, he didn't care, if it really came out, he could completely deny it, or say that he was an act of righteous annihilation, and he refused to go along with Fang Dunru, so he reported and exposed him. However, if it really makes a fuss like that, public opinion will inevitably be boiling and both sides will be hurt, and some nosy guys in the DPRK and China will definitely make a fuss, and they may not be able to please themselves. Therefore, it is better to be appeased, and it is better for everyone to be safe and sound, and no one will mention the past.

It's just that now when I come to Hangzhou, I have to face Fang Dunru, but it's a little embarrassing.

"Teacher, disciple Wu Chunlai has seen the teacher, after a farewell to the years, the teacher's body is still healthy, and the teacher's mother's body is still healthy?" While the prince and his son were still pointing at the ugly water stage in Hangzhou Mansion, Wu Chunlai came to the judge's seat alone and saluted his former teacher.

Fang Dunru crossed his arms and looked away with a frosty face, as if it was not a person standing in front of him, but transparent air.

"Teacher, the student knows that you are still angry with me, and the student's behavior back then was indeed wrong, but the student has been asking for your forgiveness for so many years. Every year, I order people to send gifts to honor my teachers and mothers, which is also the sincerity of my students. Why can't you let go of it for so long? Wu Chunlai said in a low voice.

Fang Dunru's gaze fell on Wu Chunlai's face from the lake in the distance, and he shouted coldly: "Wu Chunlai, you and I have long been cut off as master and apprentice, and you and I have been you and me for eighteen years, don't be a teacher, the old man can't stand it." People have their own ambitions and can't be forced, and I have never had anything difficult to let go of you, I don't blame you for your actions back then, I only blame myself for my poor vision, I don't know your nature. I can confiscate all the gifts you sent, and throw them all under the cliff behind the academy, I can't afford the gifts you gave, and I can't talk about forgiving you or not. You don't have to see me, in my heart, you don't exist anymore, you know? ”

Wu Chunlai's face changed color, and he was ashamed and angry in his heart, Fang Dunru didn't scold himself, but these words were even more unacceptable than scolding himself. Contempt and indifference are a hundred times more hurtful than scolding, and Fang Dunru's words are full of contempt and indifference, which makes the already narrow-minded Wu Chunlai dare to humiliate.

"Teacher!"

"I said, I'm not your teacher. Lord Wu, please don't bother, the old man is here to be the judge of the Oiran competition, you don't want to delay the old man's business. Please stand aside, don't block the old man's view. Fang Dunru waved his hand, as if driving away a buzzing green-headed fly.

Wu Chunlai stood up straight, his face turned cold, and said softly: "Teacher, no matter what, you have the grace of education to me, and I still respect you. I don't want to get into trouble with the teacher, because it comes down to the teacher's refusal to work for the student's future. Students are forced to do that. Even if you blame me, I can't help it. Teacher, now the student is a mixed person, and there is some weight in speaking in front of Lu Xiang. I know that the teacher actually wants to do something for the imperial court, and the teacher is not the kind of person who retreats to the mountains and forests at all. If the teacher has any ideas, you can come to me, and the students will do their best to intercede for the teacher, and ask Lu Xiang to arrange a position for the teacher, which can be regarded as a reward......"

Before Wu Chunlai finished speaking, he saw Fang Dunru beckoning in the direction of the side, and at the same time shouted loudly: "Lin Jue, is it you?" Come on, come on. ”
