The Rise of the Cold Gate in the Eastern Jin Dynasty

Chapter 106 Yun's brother is here

After the rain, the dirt road was very slippery, and the tall long-toothed wooden clogs could prevent slipping. However, when the rain came suddenly, few people changed their shoes. Hence, Xiao Qin carried the wooden clogs in one hand and the big grass carp in the other. Stepping on the muddy ground, there is no image at all.

The Zhao brothers were not very particular people, seeing Xiao Qinzhi taking the lead and learning well, they followed closely behind.

This broke Xu Miao's inherent cognition again, he hesitated at the same place at first, and finally had no choice but to lift his clothes and clogs stepping on the mud, and tiptoed forward.

Concerned about this, worried about that, I specifically looked for a dry place to step on the grass, but it was all muddy, there was no good place, and after only a few steps, Xu Miao's clogs were already covered with mud.

Xiao Qinzhi looked back, looked at Xu Miao, laughed loudly, showed the clean clogs in his hand, and joked: "Brother Xianmin, look, my clogs are still clean, you might as well take them off early in the morning, now The feet are also dirty, and the wooden clogs are also dirty. I lost my wife and lost my army.”

"It's not the same!" Although Xu Miao was moving forward with difficulty, he retorted sharply: "If you step on the wooden clogs, it is the mud that gets dirty, but you have not lost your original intention. Abandoning the wooden clogs and stepping on the mud, it is the mud that is dirty." Feet, this is collusion, collusion, this is a vulgar act, the two are very different."

"It's going to rain, and mud rises on the ground. This is the way of heaven. It cannot be controlled by human beings. Lying in the backyard to listen to the rain, burning incense and listening to music, plums, orchids, bamboos and chrysanthemums, and secluded paths are naturally suitable for stepping on clogs. As for this muddy land, there is no place In a clean place, there is mud all over the place, so it is natural to step on it with bare feet, which one is the right one to choose? In my opinion, stepping on clogs and bare feet is a common practice. It does not distinguish between high and low. Once people notice it, they start to give different meanings. , so there is a distinction between high and low. Therefore, brother Xianmin, you can't fall into the cliché, you wear wooden clogs and step on the mud, I advise you to be careful, don't slip and fall." Xiao Qinzhi barefooted, Walk in the mud, unscrupulous.

Once a person breaks free from the shackles, he will live freely and release his nature. Xiao Qinzhi is like this now, and he can still kick the mud in the sky. When walking forward, he suddenly remembered something, and said: "Thus, I One thing came to my mind, the old Taoist priest on the mountain behind my house raised a group of cranes. He likes cranes for their graceful posture, and I also like cranes, not because of their graceful posture, but because of their delicious crane meat. Brother Xianmin ,What do you think?"

However, Xu Miao didn't answer for a long time, and then, there was another "pop" sound from behind, Xiao Qin turned his head and saw Xu Miao fell into the muddy ground.

"Hahaha look at my broken mouth, I just said, I want you to be careful, don't fall." Xiao Qinzhi's pestle was on the spot, holding clogs in one hand and a big grass carp in the other, laughing nonstop.

The Zhao brothers held back their laughter and went back to help Xu Miao, only to find that the clogs had broken teeth and were broken, obviously they couldn't wear them.

Xu Miao had no choice but to walk barefoot, complaining: "This pair of wooden clogs misled me and made Brother Qin a joke. But I have to say, Brother Qin, your mouth is so impressive, that crane is too impressive to eat. If Qian Tianshi finds out about it, I’m afraid he’ll ask your family head to make a theory. At that time, you’ll have to be beaten and scolded. If you say you like to eat, eat it, raise a group by yourself, hide at home and eat it. Don’t say anything. Come out, otherwise, there will be a group of people to denounce you."

Xiao Qinzhi smiled and said: "Well, he was reprimanded by the patriarch for eating cranes, but he was not reprimanded for eating, but because our brother ate up all the cranes he raised. As for Qian Laodao, he never cared about this, but because of that scar-faced Ah Da, he offered the crane as his heart and liver treasure. He was really scary in appearance and high in force. A group of cranes often go down the mountain for a walk, and sooner or later we will finish eating them."

"Master Qian Tian will let you eat and don't care?" Xu Miao asked curiously.

"Hey, the old man's realm is high, he only has two things in his heart, how can he pay attention to such trivial things as eating cranes?" One of Xiao Qin couldn't help laughing when he thought of Qian Laodao's coquettish operation, He couldn't help spraying a few words.

At first, after being eaten by a few cranes, the views expressed by Qian Laodao on this matter were as follows. Xiao Qinzhi imitated Qian Laodao's tone and said: "Tao follows nature, doing nothing but doing something, those people Since the crane can be eaten by those bastards, it means that it is God's will."

"Huh?" Xu Miao was shocked, but shook his head in disbelief: "Impossible, Master Qian Tianshi would never say that, how can someone just watch their beloved being ruined by others?"

"Hmm! So, we didn't finish eating those cranes." Xiao Qin said.

"But didn't you just say that it was because Ada with the scarred face was protecting the crane? Master Qian Tian never cared about you eating cranes." Xu Miao was puzzled.

So, later, when Taoist Qian expressed his opinion, Xiao Qinzhi imitated Taoism’s tone again, and said: “Tao follows nature, doing nothing but doing something. Since Ah Da is protecting the crane, those bastards can’t eat it, so they can’t eat it.” It’s God’s will.”

"A thousand celestial masters can give up the things they love in order to seek the way, what a master!" Xu Miao exclaimed.

"Hey--" Xiao Qinzhi looked at the foolish Xu Miao and said with a smile, "Brother Xianmin, do you really think so?"

"Of course, if it were me, I would never have the heart to sit back and watch the cranes be eaten by you." Xu Miao said righteously.

"I have a different opinion." Xiao Qinzhi said, looking at the Zhao brothers who didn't like to talk, and asked: "Zhao Da, Zhao Er, what do you think?"

"Prudish!" Zhao Da spat.

"Vulgar!" Zhao Er said.

The Zhao brothers don't talk much on weekdays, but as long as they open their mouths, they will be fatal. Xu Miao's face fell instantly when he heard it. It is obvious that the Zhao brothers not only answered the question, but also connoted Xu Miao. It was said before that stepping on mud with bare feet is a vulgar act.

"You two don't understand, stop talking nonsense, Master Qian Tianshi's demeanor is not to be insulted." Xu Miao said without anger.

Xiao Qinzhi laughed so hard that his stomach twitched, and he immediately supported the Zhao brothers, saying: "Haha. I have the same opinion as you two. This old Taoist is just prudish. Because he has a scarred face, Ah Da protects the crane, if no one protects the crane, look again, the old Taoist will jump his feet in anger."

"Ah? Ah? Ah?" Xu Miao was confused, with a puzzled expression on his face, he hurriedly asked, "Why?"

"Think about it, what is the final result? Ada with a scarred face is protecting the crane. We didn't eat, but Qian Laodao used this to show his demeanor. In the eyes of outsiders, Qian Laodao practiced the words of Taoism. , doing nothing but doing something. Qian Laodao not only protected the crane, but also gained a good reputation, isn’t this prudence and what is it?” Xiao Qinzhi pointed out without any concealment.

"No, no, Brother Qin, let me think about it carefully. Because Ah Da is protecting the crane, so you are not eating." Xu Miao firmly does not believe that the old Taoist is a prudish, and maintains the truth in his heart, just like other After learning about the identity of Xiao Qinzhi's scholar, he began to remind Xiao Qinzhi of his speech and behavior.

Before the identity of Xiao Qin's scholar came out, Xu Miao never reminded him. You can't say that Xu Miao cared about his friends with different attitudes. It's wrong. On the contrary, Xu Miao really regarded Xiao Qinzhi as a friend. That's why I remind you.

Therefore, when Xu Miao realized the meaning of Xiao Qin's words, he began to rack his brains to find the flaws in Xiao Qin's words.

Xu Miao wanted to convince others with virtue, so that Xiao Qinzhi began to pay attention to his speech and behavior.

Normally, this is just a clear talk, which has already involved Confucianism and Taoism, but it is just a different venue and a more straightforward way.

It's just that Xiao Qinzhi's words were too convoluted, Xu Miao didn't find any flaws for a while, they talked while stepping on the muddy ground, and returned to their residence not long after.

"Brother Qin, after I finish taking a shower, I'll argue with you again. Master Qian Tian is definitely not what you said." Xu Miao insisted.

"Okay, I'll deal with the big fish first, and we'll eat and talk at night." Xiao Qinzhi then replied, looking at Xu Miao's hurried back, he secretly smiled and said, "Hey, Xu Xianmin, I have to give you a brain tonight It’s impossible to get confused.”

"Brother Qin, you—you~you~" Zhao Yunfei held the paintbrush and heard the sound, looking at Xiao Qinzhi's appearance, her jaw almost dropped.

"Brother Qin, what are you holding in your hand?" The bookworm Xu Miao couldn't see clearly, he could only see a vague outline.

"Oh! The big grass carp, I caught it in Yueya Lake, and we will eat it together at night." Xiao Qinzhi proudly held the big grass carp and shook it, not caring about the image at all.

"Brother Qin, put it down quickly and come to my place to take a bath. Is someone here?" Zhao Yunfei asked eagerly.

"Who's here?" Xiao Qinzhi asked.

Before Zhao Yunfei said who it was, a familiar disdainful voice came out, "Xiao Qinzhi, you are still a scholar now, why are you so careless about your appearance? What are you holding in your hand? It turned out to be a fish, barefoot and dirty. Xixi, alas - it is an insult to my gentlemen."

Xiao Qinzhi opened his eyes and asked in surprise: "Brother Tanzhi, when did you come?" Then he looked at the person standing beside Chen Tanzhi, who was completely independent and dressed in white like snow, and said happily: "Brother Yun, Why don't you say hello when you come, I'll go to greet you anyway."

Seeing Xiao Qinzhi ignoring him, Chen Tanzhi despised him even more, and turned his head away.

On the other hand, Chen Yunzhi's beautiful eyes widened, and he was taken aback for a moment, as if he couldn't believe it, then he pointed at the big grass carp in Xiao Qinzhi's hand with his slender fingers, and said with a smile: "Brother Qin, you—you—you just Use it to greet, I just want to eat fish."

Then he turned around, couldn't help it anymore, covered his mouth and "giggled" and laughed non-stop. "Xiao Qinzhi, you really, really ruined the reputation of our gentry." Seeing that sister was still laughing, Chen Tanzhi felt even more uncomfortable, and said another sentence.

"Brother Tan Zhi, don't worry, I'm still from a poor family!" Xiao Qinzhi choked back indifferently.
