The Rise of the Cold Gate in the Eastern Jin Dynasty

Chapter 76 Old Man Cui Kicks the Mountain Gate

20 years old is still a boy chicken, this old man doesn't look like a good person, as for water life, soil life, Xiao Qinzhi is too lazy to talk about it, thinking: "I am a modern person who has received a nine-year compulsory education. Did you get fooled by an old magic stick?"

Xiao Qinzhi put Qian Taoist's words behind him.

The siblings talked all the way down the mountain and went back to the west building. Mangu took the purple bamboo flute and waited on the second floor. Xiao Yunzhi and Xiao Rong'er also got up, and when they saw Xiao Yunzhi, they rushed over. Shouting: "Mum, where have you been?"

And coquettishly said: "Uncle, uncle, Rong'er wants to hug."

Xiao Qinzhi handed the Feiyun flute to Mangu, ordered it to be placed in the study, and then hugged Xiao Rong'er to his chest, rubbing his nose against Xiao Rong'er's tender face, it was smooth and fragrant, It made Xiao Rong'er itchy for a while.

Xiao Yunzhi enviously said: "Sister, I want to hug you too."

Xiao Qinzhi spat: "You are already ten years old, you will be a big girl soon, and you still want to be hugged, so don't panic."

Xiao Yunzhi said bitterly: "You are going to talk about your relatives soon, and you are still bullying me."

Xiao Yunzhi listened to his siblings teasing each other, smiled and patted his younger sister's head.

After hugging Xiao Ronger for a while, Xiao Qinzhi went downstairs to the school together with Mangu. When passing by the ancestral hall, he saw Uncle Liu directing the people to tidy up the foundation and remove the sundries. It should be rebuilt on the original site Ancestral temple.

Sixth Uncle looked over with a smile, with deep meaning, and said, "Qinzhi, you've become an adult, haha—"

Xiao Qin's sudden pause made him feel very embarrassed, thinking: "Fuck, what kind of bastard is this, talking nonsense." After bowing and saluting, he quickly dismissed.

Just stepped on the mountain path leading to the south bank of Fengqi Lake, when I heard Fat Old Ba's voice from behind, "Fourth brother, wait, wait."

The fat old man had a curious face, and he opened his mouth close to him and asked, "Fourth brother, how does it feel to do that kind of thing?"

Xiao Qinzhi's eyes widened, and he hurriedly asked: "Where did you hear that?"

Fat old Ba Yi said righteously: "My mother said so."

"Where did your mother hear that?"

"My tenant said so."

"Where did your tenants hear about it?"

"Of course it was your tenant who said it."

Xiao Qinzhi felt overwhelmed again, now everyone knew about it, looked at Mangu in embarrassment, and asked: "You also know?"

Manguhan smiled and nodded.

"Fuck." Xiao Qin's egg hurts, there is nothing wrong with it, there is a lot of rumors, deny it, Manjing even changed her hairstyle into a woman's bun, don't deny it, but I really didn't do anything last night , just touched it.

Since the last time Xiao Shu said that the fat old man was a boy chicken, he was depressed for a while, and he was a young man again. His heart was full of fire and his curiosity was particularly strong, and he looked eagerly at Xiao Qinzhi.

Xiao Qinzhi thought in his heart: "If you just push the boat with the current and break the old way's calculation, it will be broken tonight." But first, he had to solve the confusion of the fat old man, and suddenly had an idea, Xiao Qinzhi shouted: "Wait a minute." Immediately He pulled out a weed on the side of the road and poked the fat old man's nose.

The fat old man sneezed several times in a row, feeling comfortable and lively.

Xi Xi, Xiao Qin's thief, said with a smile: "It's almost like sneezing."

The fat old man had a smirk on his face, he believed Xiao Qinzhi's words, he picked a handful of weeds and hid them in his cuffs.

Walking through the rocky path to the south bank of Fengqi Lake and stepping onto the bank of the East Lake, a row of big willows are facing you, like fluffy green umbrellas, and all kinds of wild flowers on both sides of the road are gradually blooming.

The Xiao Clan School with three bamboo huts near the water is not far in front, and you can vaguely hear some sparse reading sounds, the fifth younger brother Xiao Yao's reading sound is the loudest, and he simply said forcefully: "That's why my lord's trip is not unexpected. Harm people, don't be kind..."

It was "Zhuangzi-Autumn Water Chapter" again. Before going to Jingkou, Xiao Yao started to read it. It has been so many days, and he is still reading it.

Under the eaves at the entrance of the school, old man Cui sat on the floor with his body leaning against the bamboo wall, with a chessboard in front of him, basking in the sun and the wind.

Xiao Qinzhi and the fat old man went to the school, and bowed to salute. Seeing that it was Xiao Qinzhi, the old man Cui regained his spirits, sat upright, pointed at the fat old man and said, "You go in first."

Man Gu dismissed him and said he was looking for Zhou Lie, Xiao Qinzhi nodded in agreement, but with a thought, he ran to sit down opposite Cui Laitou with a smile, picked up Hei Zi, and was about to have a plate.

The old man Cui waved his hand, scratched the itch on his body, put on the air of a strict teacher, knocked on the chessboard with his hand, and muttered: "I heard about your trip to Jingkou and Wuxi, and what you do here is not insulting to this old man." One should not be arrogant, one should be modest and prudent.”

Xiao Qinzhi curled his lips and didn't say much, thinking: "It doesn't matter how famous you were in the past, but now you have become like this bird, why don't you hide your name? Potian is only a teacher who can humiliate you. Where to go?"

When old man Cui saw Xiao Qinzhi, he knew what he was thinking, and said in his heart: "This bastard, how dare you underestimate this old man. If you don't have some real skills, you will say that this old man is really greedy for your Xiao family's bowl of food."

Yan Sheng said: "Let me ask you, is your mother's surname Cui?"

Xiao Qinzhi nodded and said, "Yes."

"Hehe—" Cui old man stroked his beard, and said seriously: "The Cui family in the world is from Qinghe, speaking of it, your mother has to call me uncle, and your kid calls me sir, it's a big profit."

Xiao Qin sneered at this shit for old man Cui, Qinghe Cui family is a common surname in the north, there are thousands of Cui surnames in the world, if you really want to count seniority, it is really not sure who is senior.

Old man Cui calculated silently in his heart: "This old man is not talking nonsense, you go back and ask your mother, your ancestors came from the branch of Sikong Cui Lin."

Xiao Qinzhi was puzzled and asked, "How many generations has it been?"

Old man Cui said: "No more, no less, five generations." Xiao Qinzhi smiled and said, "It's exactly six generations to me."

The old man Cui glared angrily, and scolded: "You bastard, you are so angry, the old man, a gentleman should keep his etiquette, have you read all the books for nothing?"

Xiao Qinzhi smiled unkindly, and thought: "Old man, if you teach, you can teach. If you want to take advantage of me, there is no way."

The Sima family, as the least observant of etiquette, broke their promises, murdered the emperor in the street, won the state and established the Jin Dynasty by trampling on etiquette and law, but in turn strongly advocated etiquette.

And what Xiao Qinzhi said was the pain that all Confucian scholars can't say, like a shining knife, pierced into the heart of old man Cui, he immediately blew his beard and stared, pointed at Xiao Qinzhi's nose angrily, and said : "Good boy, you have the guts, dare to play tricks with the old man, I will teach you a good lesson today."

"Ah cut~~ ah cut~~"

At this moment, there was a sneezing sound in the school, rumbling, one after another, Xiao Qinzhi suddenly understood, it must be the fat old man who was sharing with the brothers of the clan, the scene was unimaginable, and suddenly " Puchi" laughed out loud.

However, Xiao Qinzhi immediately regretted it. It was this laugh that completely annoyed the old man Cui. The old man Cui, who was planning to be reasonable, mistakenly thought that Xiao Qinzhi was laughing at him. A bamboo stick was swung towards Xiao Qinzhi.

Xiao Qinzhi jumped up, took a few sticks, ran away, and said: "Sir, if you have something to say, speak it out, a gentleman will not move his hands."

Old man Cui came after him angrily with a stick in his hand. He kicked on a pair of high-tooth clogs and made a "clicking" sound, saying: "I was in Luoyang back then. I begged the old man to go, and the old man took a look. I didn't want to be old, but I was laughed at by you bastard, I am really angry, old man, stop quickly, and get beaten."

Xiao Qinzhi ran while explaining: "Sir, I really didn't laugh at you, listen to my explanation."

The old man Cui scolded angrily: "Stop talking nonsense, stop quickly, otherwise the old man will go to your mother to reason, but I will ask her, who was born in a high-ranking Cui family, how did I ask you to teach me?"

This sentence hit Xiao Qinzhi's vital point. The last time Xiao Qinzhi made Xiao's mother dizzy with anger, but he made a promise, so he had to stand still, protect his chest, and said miserably: "Sir, I have a few days ago You just got a serious illness and haven't recovered yet, so you should be gentle."

Old man Cui was out of breath, his white beard trembled, he swung his stick and hit Xiao Qinzhi's thigh a few times, hitting Xiao Qinzhi bouncing up and down, he was in a panic, the windows of the school were crowded with heads, all gloating and watching joke.

"According to the words of the sage, it is not a place for the uneducated, it is not for the uneducated, and it is not for the use of the uneducated. Come with the old man, and I will be taught with you. How can the old man deceive you when you are young." Cui old man walked on a stick, and slowly returned. When he arrived under the eaves, he sat on the ground and set up a posture, as if he wanted to convince others with reasoning.

Xiao Qinzhi was beaten, pursed his mouth, and sat down obediently, showing that he was listening, but suddenly he heard Cui Laito sigh for no reason, and said: "You are a common man, you can't fight for three seasons, I don't want to talk about it."

The battle of the three seasons is a classic, which means that the summer insects are indescribable, and you won't understand if you say it.

Xiao Qinzhi didn't reply, for fear of offending this old Confucian scholar again, regardless of his age, he must have been a brave and ruthless master when he was young. Kung fu is not bad, otherwise how dare you travel around the world in troubled times?

"Have you finished reading the book the old man gave you?" Cui Laitou said sternly.

Xiao Qinzhi nodded, old man Cui selected a few questions, and Xiao Qinzhi answered all of them correctly, seeing that Cui came to find no excuse to beat someone, he suddenly took out a book and threw it to Xiao Qinzhi, saying Said: "The old man will check tomorrow."

Xiao Qinzhi took it over and saw that it was indeed the original formula and original taste. This book was written by old man Cui recently, and it was called "Annotation to Zuo Zhuan", which is one of the Confucian classics "Spring and Autumn Zuo Zhuan". annotation.

However, Xiao Qinzhi felt depressed, he wanted to learn metaphysics first, since the Eastern Jin Dynasty emphasized metaphysics and poor Confucianism, he asked weakly: "Sir, is there any book on metaphysics?"

"How easy is it to learn such clever and stingy words and clinging words? Confucian classics are the foundation of governing the world, don't be blinded by one leaf and not realize it." Old man Cui's hard work of stealing goods really made Xiao Qinzhi a little displeased No, it's two different things to look down on it and to teach or not to teach.

Xiao Qinzhi wiped his nose, thought of a plan, and said: "Sir, I went to Xianrentai to practice music in the morning, and suddenly a question popped up in my mind, I don't know why."

Old Man Cui said, "What's the problem?"

Xiao Qinzhi said: "The people of Jing have left their bows."

The old man Cui interrupted the sentence with a wave of his hand, pointed at the mountain, and said aggressively: "He is a stinky Taoist priest, if he dares to deceive me about Confucianism, I will have to compete with him."

Xiao Qinzhi pretended to say: "Sir, I didn't understand for a while, so I want to ask."

When it comes to the dispute between Confucianism and Taoism, the prehistoric power in the old man Cui's body is growing wildly and unstoppably, and he said harshly: "The stinky Taoist is deliberately mystical, and the Taoist school is illusory and unreliable. It is far inferior to my Confucianism to govern the family and benefit the people. Guo, just wait, after the old man kicks his mountain gate, I will come back and talk to you in detail."

Old man Cui rolled up his sleeves, leaning on a bamboo stick, he went up the mountain angrily to find Taoist Qian to argue, tsk tsk, Xiao Qinzhi secretly laughed, let's fight, fight, interesting, interesting.
