"Mr. Bai. ”

Over there, Zhao Zhongxi was also communicating with Liu Heng, "This is a member of the Mijiang tribe, because the land boundary is adjacent to each other, and there have been many grievances with my Lihe tribe since ancient times. And the person who just fought with me is named Yu Shaowen, who has already made a name for himself in the academy, and his strength is indeed above me, Mr. Bai should be more careful. ”

"The so-called literary talent, isn't it just bickering. ”

In a trance, Zhao Zhongxi seemed to hear Mr. Bai's muttering, and couldn't help but be stunned, thinking that he had heard it wrong!

"Who's coming?"

The person on the opposite side suddenly shouted, and the cheer was like a thunderbolt in the day, obviously the martial arts cultivation had reached a certain level, and the momentum was terrifying.

"Bold!"

"This is our Mr. Bai, how can we allow you to wait for such a reprimand?"

"Such disrespectful Mr. Bai, looking for death!"

......

Without Liu Heng's response, the young people in the village would naturally defend him, and put on a posture of not hesitating to fight to the death if they dared not respect Liu Heng. However, this couldn't frighten the Mijiang people who deliberately came to make trouble, and they also made noise, and the atmosphere became more and more tense.

"Sir, not everyone can afford to use these two words. On the other side, he folded the fan with Shao Wenyi, "It takes a knowledgeable and talented person with high moral standing to be called a gentleman who was born before me, this Mr. Bai, can he consciously bear such a respectful title?"

Here we go!

Everyone is awe-inspiring, and most of them dare not open their mouths indiscriminately, because it involves the battle of knowledge, and opening their mouths indiscriminately will only make people laugh, but there is no such thing as punching the master to death!

Especially in the land of Confucian rule, even if the people do not understand the literature and ink, they are more in awe of learning, and they dare not joke about it at all.

"All the erudite people who were 'born before me' can be called sir, this is my Confucian courtesy, did Brother Shao Wen return all the etiquette to Mr.?"

He said to Shao Wen, as if he heard a big joke, "You haven't forgotten that after 'born before me', there is also erudition, if you don't have erudition, how dare you call Mr."

"Whether Mr. Bai is erudite or not, how do you know when you first see him?" Zhao Zhongxi competed against each other, still not giving up a penny, "When you first see it, you will be disrespectful and rude first, is this the way of Confucian etiquette?"

Unhurried with Shao Wen, the conversation changed, "So whether you are erudite or not, you can be called a gentleman, this has to be proved by this white brother himself." If it is indeed possible to call 'sir', and then make a solemn apology in the future, presumably anyone who can be called Mr. should be broad-minded, so why bother with juniors?"

According to Zhongxi's words, after all, he pointed the finger at Mr. Bai with Shao Wen, and asked Mr. Bai to prove that his talent was worthy of the title of Mr., and the request was reasonable, and he had no choice but to help Mr. Bai respond, so he could only look at Mr. Bai helplessly.

"Erudite?" Liu Heng groaned, and then asked rhetorically: "You have to make it clear first, what is erudite?"

This rhetorical question made many people stunned, because everyone can say this word on weekdays, but what is the standard of erudition, and no one can really have a definite answer at once.

"Knowing astronomy and geography, Botong ancient and modern?"

"When the old gentleman is still alive, there seems to be nothing in the world that he doesn't know, this is erudite, right?"

"At least you have to know a lot of truth!"

......

For a time, people had different opinions, each with their own opinions, how could they be unified. However, Shao Wen, who was really asked, was not slow to react, his eyes flashed slightly, and he immediately blurted out, "Not to mention that you know astronomy and geography, and you are well-versed in ancient and modern Chinese and foreign affairs, but at least you should be well-read and have a few treasures of the stories in the book, so that you can be called erudite." Dare to ask Brother Bai, do you know geometry?"

Everyone felt that it was reasonable, and Shao Wen's standard was not too high, and it was echoing the expectations of most people for Mr. in their hearts, and they couldn't help but look at Mr. Bai.

"I suddenly thought of something, and I didn't understand it in my heart, so I wanted to ask Brother Shao Wen for advice. Liu Heng looked puzzled, as if he really wanted to know the answer, "Sage, can you be regarded as a gentleman?"

Hearing this question, everyone was at a loss, because most people felt that Liu Heng's question was really strange. A saint is the most powerful and extraordinary person in the world, and where is the title of the so-called gentleman worthy of the status of a saint? If you have to count it, we can only say that if you want to call a saint a gentleman, you also have to see whether you are qualified enough, and if you want to become a saint, it is almost an absurd thing.

How could the old man surnamed Bai who dared to call him "sir" not understand such a simple question?

However, the elders of the two clans were shocked, even if they didn't understand the mystery, they could feel the sharp meaning of this question, like a thorn. As for Zhao Zhongxi and Shao Wen, who understood, one was amazed, showing a surprise smile of victory, and the other had a face that changed several times, and his expression was solemn and abnormal.

"Hundred saints, it is rumored that nearly half of them don't like to read, and many of them don't know how to read and ink, if it is according to Brother Shao Wen's standards, wouldn't even these nearly half of the saints be worthy of the title of Mr?" Zhao Zhongxi asked with a smile.

"This is confusing right and wrong!" and Shao Wen shouted angrily, "A saint is a saint, how can a transcendent person who comes out once in hundreds of years be confused with a worldly name?"

Zhao Zhongxi was stunned, and couldn't help but look at Liu Heng again, but Liu Heng was indifferent, "No matter how extraordinary it is, there is still a character in the honorific title, since you are still a human being, and you are in the rolling red dust, how can you really transcend this mortal world?

He Shao Wen's body trembled, and the sweat on his forehead was like rain, which showed how anxious and fierce his mind was. But Liu Heng's question hit the nail on the head, and no matter how hard he racked his brains, he couldn't come up with a corresponding answer, so he knew what kind of powerful opponent he had encountered.

It is not visible, but it is like a sting, and there is thunder in a silent place!

"Shao Wen, today I finally know what it means to have people outside the mountains, right?" At this time, the patriarch of the Mijiang clan coughed, attracting everyone's attention, but seeing him, he said earnestly: "Some truths are not known by reading, even if some people don't study, they can still have the ability to be admired after living for a long time." Today's incident, even if Mr. Bai teaches you a lesson, so that you know what humility is, it will not be in vain. ”

On the other side, the old patriarch also smiled, "Those who come are guests, those who come are guests, why does Lao Jiang say such heavy words? ”

The patriarch of the Mijiang clan also put on a smiling face, and stepped forward to talk to the old patriarch, barely diluting the tense atmosphere before. They didn't mention the previous incident, as if the confrontation between the two sides had never happened at all, and after a group of amicable reminiscences, the patriarch of the Mijiang clan and several clan elders greeted Liu Heng, and led a group of depressed clansmen into the village consciously.

As for the other crowds who came to celebrate, they all felt bored when they saw that there was no more excitement, but they paid a little more attention to Liu Heng.

"Thanks to Mr. Bai's help this time, otherwise the Mijiang clan is afraid that it will not only be as simple as making us ugly among many neighbors and friends. Take a moment, the old patriarch sighed again and again. Not to mention the other villagers, their eyes looking at Liu Heng were full of starlight, almost worshipping.

Liu Heng smiled, "What's the matter? It's just a bickering, it's not easy to divide the victory or defeat, can you still tell the difference between life and death?"

Bicker?

In the midst of the laughter of the crowd, only the corners of Zhao Zhongxi's mouth twitched, he never thought that this Mr. Bai was quick to think, and he was obviously a learned person, why would he have a faint contempt for Wen Dao.

Perhaps because Liu Heng's performance was quite eye-catching, there was a disgraced Mijiang clan as a lesson from the past, and the people from all walks of life who came to celebrate were unusually well-behaved, whether they had hatred or no hatred, they did not dare to continue to take the opportunity to make trouble, so that the greeting matters went very smoothly.

When the crowd came there was getting smaller and smaller, everyone relaxed, and gradually there was talk and laughter, and their minds began to drift to the village that was becoming more and more lively, but at this time, there was an extraordinary noise not far from the village.

"What's going on?"

The old patriarch in the town had a solemn face, and immediately asked, such a hustle and bustle is obviously very wrong and alarming.

Not long after, a young man who went to a farther distance to inquire ran back in a panic, and his expression was unprecedentedly frightened, "Yes, yes......"

"What is it?" Zhao Zhongxi saw that something was wrong, and immediately used his words and shouted: "Calm down and make your words clear!"

After drinking it, this young man finally woke up and blurted out: "Yes, it's the owner!"

Suddenly, the entire village became unusually quiet, and then there was a sudden sensation, and even the old patriarch jumped up in shock, "What?

Zhao Zhongxi was also in a trance, and muttered: "Why did the owner of the workshop come? Usually, it was not enough to send a deputy owner to come and finish the matter, why this time, even the old owner came in person?"

This look, there is no need to say more, Liu Heng can also feel a sense of impending wind and rain.

The owner who never comes on weekdays came in person, and if you want to say that there is nothing strange inside, who will believe it?

"Quick! Come with me to the front to greet you!" The old patriarch was worthy of being an old patriarch, and he was not chaotic in the face of danger, so he immediately shouted, took the lead, and strode forward to greet him. The remaining group of clan elders, famous people in the village, and young men were in a hurry, and they also did not dare to delay, and they also hurried forward.

Zhao Zhongxi had already woken up from the accident, but fortunately remembered that Liu Heng's health was not very good, so he hurriedly helped him to keep up with everyone's pace.

"It's not good. Liu Hengqiang bracked his body to catch up with the old patriarch, and whispered in the old patriarch's ear to remind: "The key is to ask clearly, why this owner is here!"

The old patriarch narrowed his eyes and nodded slightly, his face was serious, but he was not sure much in his heart at all.

When a group of people heard the news, they hurried forward, and when they arrived a few miles away from the village, they finally met the team that was to be greeted.

This is the largest team to come, full of people, hundreds of people. There is a unique carriage in the center, which seems simple and simple, but in fact, it can be seen by insiders, the texture is very elegant, and with the many people and horses in the cluster, it can set off such solemnity and majesty.

"Why did the old owner come in person?" the old patriarch hurriedly greeted the carriage and saluted heavily, "The old owner is coming, and we should say hello in advance, we should be ready to prepare, otherwise we will miss the village house, how can we let the old owner settle down?"

The carriage paused, and a delicate palm lifted the curtain, and a rich old man leaned out of it, and helped the old patriarch up, "Oh, my old brother, why did you give me this set? You and I have been friends for decades, and when we meet, you still salute me, you still don't treat me as your own family!"

"How many years have this been the old rules, where can it be changed?" the old patriarch said with a heartfelt smile.

The rich old man's smile was obviously a little brighter, and he made a look that he couldn't do anything with the old patriarch, pointing at the old patriarch and scolding with a smile: "You, you, you are all people of this age, you can give a big gift if you have nothing to do, and you are not afraid that your children and grandchildren will laugh at you!"

The old patriarch smiled and said: "No matter how old you are, it is also an old craftsman under the old owner, not to mention that you can't change it in this life, even if you go to the bottom of the Yellow Spring, what should you do!"

"Bah, bah!" The rich old man wanted to help the old patriarch to the car, "What Huangquan is not Huangquan, you have not enjoyed the joy of family for a few years, you say this kind of thing, it is not too unlucky!"

The old patriarch looked flattered, hurriedly refused, no matter what he said, he didn't get into the car with the rich old man, "Old owner, old owner! You are tormenting the little old man, how dare you share the car with you, I don't know how thick the sky is! So, you can do a good job in the car, and the little old man will talk to you by the side of the car, so that the little old man can feel comfortable, don't embarrass me when you are old!"

Seeing that he was extremely resolute in refusing, the rich old man was "helpless", and pointed at him again and again, but he could only stand him.

In this way, the carriage continued to move forward, and the crowd that had previously stopped with the carriage continued to move forward. And the people in the village and Liu Heng who came to greet them, no one paid much attention to them, they consciously blended into the crowd, and the only old patriarch walked by the side of the carriage, accompanying the rich old man who poked his head out of the curtain of the car by the maid ring to talk.

"A landlord, so magnificent. Liu Heng sighed lightly.

These words made Zhao Zhongxi, who was accompanying him, change his face suddenly, and hurriedly said, "Mr. Bai, be cautious!"

Liu Heng nodded, and finally didn't say anything more.

In fact, Liu Heng's sigh in his heart was far worse than what came up from his mouth.

In his cognition, this kind of owner was just a servant of a family, simply put, a servant from a family, who was sent to such a remote place to manage an industry that was not estimated to be of any name in the family, and was destined to be no important person among the family servants. In the countless families he had visited, such servants were everywhere, with humble and careful faces, and he would not even pay attention to them.

However, how did he know that when such a domestic servant went to the outside world and went to the land under his own "jurisdiction", there would be such a panache like an emperor traveling?

Not only did the servants themselves feel accustomed to it, but even the people who accompanied them were not different, and even the old patriarch and even Zhao Zhongxi were so silent, almost writing awe and nervousness on their faces, which made Liu Heng feel even more surprised.

What he has seen and heard now has really given him another insight.

Further on, when I arrived at the entrance of the village, it was even more crowded. Visitors from all over the world, as soon as they heard the news, rushed out to greet them, and showed a humble and flattering smile to the old owner, which was really eye-opening.
