Three Kingdoms

what to do? Fei Qian made a quick calculation in his mind.

In this era where birth and status are important, it is difficult to get rid of certain brands once they are branded. Think about it, Lu Bu is the best in the world in terms of martial arts, but it is a pity that Zhang Fei shouted out the nickname of a three-sex domestic slave. It turned out that this nickname stayed with me until my death.

Join Dong Zhuojun?

Feiqian weighed it again and again, and it was really not a good choice.

But it is also difficult to refuse directly. Maybe the person will become angry and chop off his head with a real sword or a gun!

Fei Qian held up his hands as a courtesy and said, "Young man, I have something to ask, and I would like to ask Chang Shi to clarify it."

"But why was the appointment given to you?" Li Ru said, "Twenty years ago, your father was kind to me. At that time, Ru said that he would be repaid in the future. Unfortunately, your father is now dead. God's will can only do this to others."

After listening to Li Ru's explanation, Fei Qian's heart was half relieved. Originally, he thought that according to the concepts of later generations, inexplicable pie-in-the-sky things were generally either a lie or a trap, but now It turns out that Li Ru came here to repay a favor. Although he didn't know exactly how his father forged such a good relationship for him, it always happened for a reason.

"The boy thanks Chang Shi for his love. I have been taught by Jia Yan since he was a child to ask for no regrets in everything and not ask for anything in return. I think if Jia Yan was still there, he would not dare to accept it. Please forgive me for being so presumptuous, but please Chang Shi to take back his orders." After saying this, Fei Qian fell to the ground.

Li Ru was silent for a while, then asked Fei Qian to stand up and said, "That's the case, that's fine. If you have any wishes, you might as well speak up boldly, otherwise Ru will feel uneasy." - You don't have to do it, but you must give it. This is my way of repaying a favor, I don’t want to owe any more favors.

Fei Qian paid his respects again: "Young man feels very shallow. I only wish to travel to Jingxiang to study. I got the approval of the head of the family the day before yesterday." - In that dynasty, people of that generation were not very averse to people who were willing to learn knowledge. This reason can be regarded as a reason. That's enough.

"Very good." Li Ru nodded. Since he didn't want to be an official and only wanted to study, then he could help him in this aspect. However, at this time, Li Ru didn't directly tell Fei Qian what he was going to do to help him. Instead, he signaled to Fei Qian that the conversation was over and he could leave.

Fei absorbed the idea with great concentration and said goodbye to Li Ru. He just took two steps out when he was suddenly stopped by Li Ru again.

Li Ru suddenly wanted to hear the opinions of Fei Qian, an outsider, about the road, so he said: "There are two roads. Both are full of thorns and it is easy to get lost and difficult to travel. But generally speaking, one is easy first and then difficult, and the other is difficult first and then easy. If you Moving forward, what choices should you make?”

Fei Qian thought for a while and replied: "The road ahead is long, but if you work hard, it will be the right path." - It's an obvious dilemma. Whichever one you choose is definitely wrong, so you might as well choose neither.

Li Ru nodded calmly and asked Fei Qian to retreat without saying anything else.

Jia Xu came out from the screen at the back of the hall and said, "So this is the son of the family that you said took you in on a snowy night twenty years ago?"

Li Ru raised his head as if lost in memories, hummed, and then said after a long time: "Twenty years ago, on the 100th day of this son's birth, his father hosted a banquet for the neighbors, and saw my father and a certain person in embarrassment... …”

Li Ru shook his head and didn't want to talk any more. It was obvious that this memory was not a very good one.

Jia Xu said oh, and saw that Li Ru was stuck in the sad past, so he interrupted: "Ah, okay, it's just the two of us, don't talk official talk, it's tiring, and by the way, he's still not willing to be an official if you ask him, Are you not optimistic about us?" When it comes to observing people's emotions, if Jia Xu was ranked second, no one would dare to say that he was first. Think about the people Jia Xu has defected to in history, including those who were killed, injured, and even their entire army was wiped out. , but Jia Xu gets away with it without any trouble every time. This is also thanks to his extraordinary ability.

For example, Fei Qian thought he was covering up well, but in Jia Xu's eyes there were still some flaws.

Li Ru couldn't deny it and said: "It should be half and half. My lord's background is a bit humble, so it's normal for him not to be favored. However, I remember that his father was also a man who was eager to learn. Under the influence of his father, this son became The idea of ​​seeking knowledge is probably not entirely an excuse. Well, nowadays one can be called a truly learned person..."

Li Ru was counting several prestigious bachelors. Although Situ Wang Yun was the leader in charge of education in the country, he was not necessarily the first in terms of knowledge. Is it a family of poetry and calligraphy? The Xun family and the Chen family basically had no regard for their own children. It is taught to the outside world, and then there are a few bachelors in the field... By the way, there may be one person who, although a bit pedantic, can still be called a gentleman and is extremely knowledgeable, so it might as well be him...

Jia Xu looked at Li Ru's calculations and said directly: "Most of the people in the world nowadays are Confucian figures. I don't think so. I think this guy is also smart. You might as well accept him as a disciple." Our unique knowledge is not much worse than those of Confucianism."

Li Ru shook his head, "How can I think of recruiting a disciple at this time? I'd rather recommend him a few and forget about it. By the way, Wen He, how about I ask you for a favor?"

Jia Xu was stunned and asked, "What do you want to ask me for?"

"Before coming to Luoyang, I sealed up my family's secret knowledge in the cellar of my home. Now I'm worried that it will be damaged by moisture. Can you please go back and help me deal with it first?"

Jia Xu listened to what Li Ru said and said seriously: "Don't be kidding me. It's not easy to get damp if it's well sealed. Are you trying to drive me away...Have you decided?"

Li Ru nodded slightly and repeated what Fei Qian had just said: "The road ahead is long, but if you work hard, you will be on the right path. You have to do your best to avoid obeying fate!"

"Then you can't drive me away. How can I just watch such a fun thing?"

"If I don't drive you away, you and I are both here. What if we fail and die and the inheritance is cut off? Or if you have a better way, you might as well tell us."

"We can let others pass on the inheritance for us, for example...for example...this...um..." Jia Xu twirled her fingers and tried for a long time but still couldn't say anything. This is the bad thing about hidden learning. It is not as good as manifest learning and has many people.

"The loss of one's body is a small thing, but the loss of inheritance is a big thing. You and I should each perform our duties and give this god a try!" Li Ru suddenly seemed to have put down all his baggage, patted Jia Xu on the shoulder, and smiled. , "Wen He, without further ado, you can leave now and I won't see you off. If everything goes well, I believe we will be able to meet again soon."

"...Senior brother, no matter what, you must prepare a way out for yourself. You must know that you have too many books at home. I can't move them alone. If you accidentally lose one or two volumes, don't blame me. And - don’t let me have no meat to eat in the future, your meat is so delicious, I can’t even eat other people’s meat..."

"Okay, I know." Li Ru shook his hand and walked to the back hall, obviously not planning to see Jia Xu off.

Jia Xu was silent for a while, bowed in the direction Li Ru was walking, then turned and left resolutely.

Behind the back hall window, Li Ru also bowed to Jia Xu solemnly, and it took a long time before he straightened up.
