Chapter 22: Just like falling flowers

Xu You's words were like a huge rock smashing into the calm water from a height of thousands of feet, causing huge waves, and surging from the depths of people's hearts!

Everyone has faith in their hearts.

Cui Yuanxiu's belief is Mei Can's version of "Shangshu". His lifelong energy, hard work, the career he relies on and the glory he has followed, all rely on this classic work.

But Xu You said that Mei Shu is a fake!

This is undoubtedly the goddess whom the dog-licking favorite took off all her clothes and threw it into the cesspool and spit it a few mouthfuls. For literati, it is no less than the hatred of killing his father and taking his wife.

"Little thief, a big rebellious!"

Cui Yuanxiu's face was unbearable to witness it, and his body was shaking. He raised his hand to point at Xu You and scolded him in pain.

"The Confucian school is established by faith. If even their own classics are fakes, how can they win the trust of the world? I am not so ruthless, but rather examining the different theories of the previous Confucians, and sympathizing with the secret decree of the sage. Compared to Gong Cui's astray without knowing it, this is the real way!"

Cui Yuanxiu's face was as white as paper, and he spit out a mouthful of blood. Fan Ge and other disciples all shouted sadly, holding them left and right, all of whom were angry and looked at Xu You, wishing they could eat raw meat.

"Don't worry, the authenticity of the Book of Documents cannot be distinguished in one or two sentences. When I visited the great sages, I would like to talk about it and then write "The Book of Documents" behind closed doors. Whoever is true and false will naturally be clear."

Want to write "The Justice of the Shangshu"?

Cui Yuanxiu was not a fool after all, so he raised his head suddenly and said in a trembling voice: "Who are you?"

Xu You took off his disguise at will, and his temperament suddenly changed. The moonlight was like water, pouring on his shoulders, making him look more handsome and graceful, and said, "Xu You in Qiantang!"

Everyone was shocked!

The difference between a person's name and a tree shadow is that if an ordinary little thief says that the Book of Documents is a fake, it will at most make people sneer. Even if the previous arguments are combined, it will only make people suspicious, but in the end it is a shameless statement and makes people laugh at it.

However, if it were Xu You, You Ye Yiguang's reputation was so loud, and his poems, songs, and classics were all great. There were countless fans. If he really questioned the Book of Shu, he could imagine that if Xun Yue did not appear, the legitimacy of the Book of Shu would be devastating.

Cui Yuanxiu pushed away the disciples who were helping him, straightened up, and smiled miserably, "It turns out that it is Xu Langjun, I have been taught! Today's defense style, I lost!" Although he was worried about his character and had a bad temper, he hoped to accept the loss. He still had this kind of demeanor.

"Since that's the case, is Mr. Cui willing to agree to me?"

"Please give me instructions, whether I lead a horse and kick it, or apologize for guilt, I am willing to be punished!"

Xu You shook his head and said, "I came to ask questions for advice, but not to let Siwen wipe out the floor. I wish to invite Mr. Cui to Xuanji Academy to serve as the "Shangshu" and all said, "How about it?"

Obviously, these words were beyond Cui Yuanxiu's expectations. He thought that he had rejected Xu You outside the door in advance and made many difficulties. He really lost all his face. Now he was defeated. If it were him, it would be no exaggeration to mock or ridicule his opponent. But who knew that Xu You would actually invite him to work as a Xuanji Academy to be the one who said it?

As long as you are not a fool, you understand that the general trend of Xuanji Academy has been established. Whether the Confucian school revival or not is here, it is not difficult to keep a name in history, so Xu You's invitation is not a punishment, but a great honor.

Of course, this kind of honor was disdainful in the past, but the bet was ahead. Compared to pulling a horse and falling down, it was already a great blessing in disgrace!

"Mr. Lang said just now that the Book of Documents is a fake. Are you not afraid that I will scold you in Xuanji Academy?"

Xu You smiled and said, "It's okay to scold me, it's okay to not be in harmony. Can Gong Cui know what the first motto of Xuanji Academy is?"

"I hope to hear it carefully!"

Xu Youqingyue's voice resounded throughout Cui's mansion, saying, "The truth is, the more you debate, the more you become clearer!"

Cui Yuanxiu bowed silently for a long time and said, "When the academy is opened, the old man will go to Qiantang for a while!"

Surprised Cui Yuanxiu, there was no need to stay here anymore, Xu You turned around and looked at Zhang Xuanji, with a vague apology in his eyes, and said, "Did Girl Zhang go home? It's uneasy late at night, I'll give you a ride!"

"Thank you, my husband!"

Zhang Xuanji nodded, walked to Cui Yuanxiu and knelt down, saying, "Disciple is unworthy. He and Xu You are old friends in Yangzhou. I really can't ignore the matter tonight. But it made the master angry and hurt his body. Don't refuse the disciple!"

Cui Yuanxiu waved his hand and smiled bitterly, "Get up, it's no wonder you. You don't have to take your words to heart, I will punish you severely. Also, Liang Yuan is not a good person, I will give up what he told you in the study before!"

The night in Qingxi is extremely quiet, the sound of insects and flowing water merges into the moonlight, and the flying fireflies embellish the forest. Xu You and Zhang Xuanji walk alongside the wooden bridge, as if they are back to the Shangyuan Night in Qiantang.

The bright moon grows on the sea, and the world shares this time!

"I haven't seen you for several years, and your husband's charm is still better than the past..."

These words were polite and unfamiliar. After walking out of the tension in the Cui Mansion, the two of them returned to the strangeness and sense of distance that ordinary friends should have.

After all, it’s different from Shangyuan Ye!

Xu You whispered: "Just wasting your time, you are in Jinling... Are you okay?"

"Reading, playing the piano, traveling mountains, and enjoying water can still be free for half a day of leisure." Zhang Xuanji stopped, held the bridge railing with both hands, his eyes clear and unconscious, and said, "My husband disguised himself as Cui's mansion. He must have no plans, but because he exposed his path for helping me to rescue him, Xuanji felt guilty..."

Xu You sighed and said, "I feel guilty!"

"Langjun's words are serious!"

Zhang Xuanji turned his head and looked at Xu You. Yin and Yang flowed between his cheeks, reflecting the rippling waves of the stream, which seemed to have a different kind of beauty. He said, "Master, I will come to the door to apologize next day, and I don't think I'm too concerned. As for the senior brothers, I rarely interact on weekdays. If I can't understand it, it's actually nothing to worry about it."

Xu You stared into her eyes and said, "What I said is ashamed, not referring to Cui Yuanxiu, but my hesitation hurts your heart that day in the peach forest!"

As time goes by, Zhang Xuanji has obviously let go. He was silent for a moment when he heard this, and chuckled: "That's not your fault, it's me that's too reckless..."

Xu You is not a person who is dragging on the mud. He stepped forward and was close to Zhang Xuanji. The two of them looked around and could hear their breaths. He said, "People may not like your appearance, but in my eyes, they are no different from ordinary people. The hesitation that day was just because I knew you had an oral engagement with Gu Yun, so I didn't know what to do. Later, I went to see Gu Yun and learned that you had already terminated the agreement before that day, but you went to Taolin to apologize the next day, but the scenery was misty and I didn't meet anyone. After that, I asked many questions and found out that you went to Jinling with your father... Once you went to Jinling, the mountains were high and the rivers were long, and I was plagued by trivial matters. I didn't want to see you again, many years later..."

"I know all of these." Zhang Xuanji did not avoid his slightly aggressive behavior, his eyes were as quiet as water, and he said, "Gu Yun wrote me a letter saying that you have been waiting for the Taolin for three consecutive days, and Xuanji is full of enthusiasm. However...those are no longer important. It is not whose fault or whose reluctance. Since it has passed, there is no need to mention it." She bowed and said, "I will be relieved tonight. Xuanji thanked me here!"

Xu You saw that she was free and unworldly, and indeed let go of all the ties of the past as she said in her words. He was even more calm and gentle. He couldn't get it, but he didn't have to toss and turn, take two steps back, and bow back.

Perhaps, the word "fate" is really difficult to sort out and messy. Even if you study the wisdom of heaven and man, you will not be able to see the secrets in it!

"please!"

"please!"

Be closer to friends and farther away from lovers. As for what happens in the future, it is better to let things go.

The Zhang Mansion is downstream of Qingxi, not very far from Cui Mansion. Moreover, no matter how far the road is, there is always a time to finish it. When you arrive in front of the mansion, Xu You bid farewell and drift away with Qingming.

The door of the mansion was opened. When Zhang Xuanji entered the door, he suddenly turned around and looked at Xu You's back as he left. He suddenly remembered the sentence in the poem "Moon" at the Qiantang Lake Elegant Collection: At this time, we look at each other but don't hear each other. I hope that the moonlight will shine on you.

At this moment, Xu You's voice came from the moon shadow:

Don’t dream of coming to Xie’s house, and the curved railings in the small corridor are slanted.

The passionate moon in the spring courtyard is still the fallen flowers.
Chapter completed!
