Chapter 16 For the Gentleman

The gentleman said, and everyone outside seemed to be cold, but no one objected. It's also funny, these days the whole Jinling City has been rumored that talented people are feasting gentlemen, but now that they see it, they are defeated by the cold, and they are not as enthusiastic as the girls.

Seeing that no one was different, the gentleman turned and pushed the door in. The master and servant in the boat saw the gentleman dyed in the snow, and got up together, the gentleman seemed to be useless, and said softly: "It's okay." Hearing the gentleman say this, Wang Xianyu's words of instructing Sang Guo to come forward and serve were stuck in his throat.

As soon as the gentleman sat down, someone said in a loud voice and asked the gentleman: "There was a rumor that the gentleman passed by a barren and barren land, and saw that the people were hungry and clothed, and gave them their possessions. And settled for more than three months, spreading the way of Confucianism. ”

Everyone here has heard these rumors. No one said anything, waiting for the man to continue.

The man continued: "What is the untouchables, who have worked hard to raise them? "What's the point of a gentleman spending his heart and soul on the untouchables?

Hearing this, the gentleman's face remained unchanged, and he replied: "Yuezhi!" "I'm happy!

Wang Xianyu was stunned for a moment, but the mulberry fruit on his side couldn't hold back, and laughed out loud. Although Sang Guo immediately lowered his expression, it had already caused Wang Xianyu to laugh, but Wang Xianyu didn't dare to make a sound, and it was really painful to laugh silently.

If the gentleman has not heard of it, drink the tea and exhaust it.

It was quiet inside the boat, but it was fried outside. Everyone made noise, some praised the gentleman for doing it casually, and some sighed for the gentleman's disregard for the noble and lowly. The words of inconsistency made Wang Xianyu's boat quieter.

The gentleman was obviously not interested in this question before he answered casually, but he didn't expect that the people outside could understand so much meaning. The more words they heard, the more Wang Xianyu and the maid sat upright, and the room was extremely weird.

When the noise gradually stopped, the gentleman spoke: "I don't know what the Wang family has to say?" He actually asked the eldest brother by name, Wang Xianyu saw that the gentleman was still with a pretentious expression, and somehow he saw the stubbornness.

Wang Lie has not reached the weak crown, and now there is no word, so everyone in Jinling calls Wang Lie a Wang family Dalang, and everyone listens to the gentleman naming Wang Lie, and Wang Lie is a layman's master, so everyone thinks that the two are familiar with each other, and they are all envious.

The people who sat in the same boat with Wang Lie, except for Wang Lu, who was hidden in color, the remaining four or five people all had different complexions. Wang Lie only did not hear about it, and replied: "A gentleman does it casually, why do you need opinions? ”

Hearing this, the gentleman smiled loudly and said, "Lie Xiaolang, I am also a confidant." This is the second time that the gentleman has said that Wang Lie is his confidant. Wang Xianyu is honored, and he does not hide it at all.

When Wang Lie saw the gentleman's praise, he was neither sad nor happy, and replied: "The gentleman lifts up." ”

The gentleman hummed and said, "Please Xiaolang into the boat." This was not a big deal, but the servant outside immediately shouted: "The master invites Wang Jialangjun to enter the boat." ”

Wang Xianyu was not surprised, but the noise of the people outside rose again. In the noise, the boat rowed slowly, and when the two boats collided, the servant in front of the door said again: "Lang Jun, please." ”

Wang Xianyu was in the boat, heard the sound of stepping on the deck, knew that his brother was coming, smiled, and said softly: "Thank you." The voice was slight, and I don't know if the gentleman heard it.

Wang Lie opened the door and entered, and there was no surprise when he saw Wang Xianyu in the boat. When Wang Xianyu saw his eldest brother coming in, he smiled slightly and called, "Brother." ”

After Wang Lie entered the door, he saluted and said to the gentleman: "Thank you gentleman for taking care of Ah Yu." ”

The gentleman bows his head, and asks the king to take his seat. After Wang Lie sat down, the gentleman said again: "Please ask Liu Gong to enter the boat for a while." When the servants outside the boat heard the gentleman's words, they said loudly again: "The master invites the great Confucian Liu Gong to enter the boat for a while." ”

After hearing this, Wang Xianyu got up and walked behind his brother, and the brother and sister got up to greet Confucian. After a while, Liu Huanyi and Liu Gong entered, and the brother and sister greeted each other. Liu Gong returned the salute, and when he saw that there was a woman in the boat, his face flashed away, and then he saluted the gentleman and said, "The gentleman is polite." ”

The gentleman did not get up to return the salute and said: "Liuzhi travels with friends, likes to do it casually, Liu Gong forgive me." ”

When the great Confucian heard this, he was not angry but happy, and knew that the gentleman's voiceover was the meaning of friendship, so he changed his attitude and said very casually: "Good." ”

After everyone was seated, the gentleman said to the servants, "Please come in with the king and Xie Langjun." "The Langya Wang clan and the Chenjun Xie clan are the Gaomen clan, and although they are gradually declining, they are still famous. Today, Wang Xie and his family were invited to come, and the gentleman was respectful, so please talk about it in the boat. From time to time, two people would come together in the boat. Both of them are teenagers, and when they see the gentlemen, they salute and greet each other, and they are all in the same style.

When the gentleman saw the childish coming, he knew that today's Wang Xie family wanted the juniors to come out to see the world, so please sit down.

Four people entered the boat, and the servants paddled out. Sang Guo has to say the words of the girl, do the things of the servant, and make tea for the nobles. The gentleman looked at Wang Lie in the fragrance of tea and said, "Jiao Niang's piano sound is rare, please play a song." ”

Wang Xianyu was named, and before he could react, he heard his brother answer the gentleman: "Yes." ”

Wang Lie responded, Wang Xianyu lowered his head and stepped forward, took the ink qin in front of the gentleman, only the gentleman had a place on the side of the boat, Wang Xianyu sat respectfully, waved his hand and played the piano. The sound of the piano in the boat started, and from time to time, someone from other boats went up in harmony.

The sound of the music became louder, but the gentleman's heart was not here, and he opened his mouth to interrupt the person listening to the sound in the boat: "There is something unclear about Liuzhi, please answer the gentleman." ”

When everyone heard this, they all bowed their hands together.

The gentleman asked: "Talent is demonstrated, but he has no line, is he a gentleman?" "A person who is talented, but not of high moral character, is such a person a gentleman?

The other three people who were invited in the boat looked at Liu Gong together when they heard the words, Da Ru is the elder, please say it as a courtesy first. Liu Gong did not refuse, and replied: "Definitely! Sages educate people, teach virtue first, be disrespectful, and not be a gentleman. ”

After Liu Gong finished speaking, Wang Lie continued: "The title of a gentleman is that virtue is the best, and it is okay if the literary style is not obvious. Virtue is disrespectful, villain, and brilliant, worthy of this name. ”

Wang Xie and the others also said the same.

The gentleman shook his head when he heard this, and said: "Today's gentleman's banquet, but the villain is rampant, and the flow is melancholy. The gentleman's voice fell, and no one in the boat made a sound, only Wang Xianyu's piano sounded continuously, which solved the embarrassment.

The gentleman sighed and said, "Jinling is full of talents, and I dare not enter it." However, in recent years, there are precarious words in the ears, and the heart of the flow is uneasy, so I came here for a visit. ”

When everyone heard this, there was a look of shame on their faces. In recent years, there are indeed villains rampant in Jinling City. As mentioned earlier, "Confucianism forced foreign talents to death", such moral corruption incidents emerged in an endless stream, and there were many tricks. But I didn't want such an incident to reach the ears of the gentleman, so that the gentleman couldn't stand it, so he had this Jinling trip......

Liu Gong's face was red, and the gentleman was a Yan person, and he was still uneasy because of the rampant villain in Jinling...... And he was in vain by the world to be called a great Confucian, such an incident will only come forward to reprimand, if not encountered, it will be ignored.

What a shame!
