Mei Changsu looked at Mr. Zhou Xuanqing's back as he left with the sandalwood box in his arms, showing an expression of relief.
This time he used his previous contacts to invite Mr. Zhou Xuanqing. In fact, he felt very guilty because he had disturbed Mr. Zhou's peace.
For a respected Confucian master like Zhou Xuanqing to be invited by him to do this kind of power struggle is really an insult to the reputation of Mr. Zhou Xuanqing.
He knew that Mr. Zhou was different from those who were seeking fame and reputation. Mr. Zhou was a true hermit and his pursuit was to write books and establish opinions. He would never interfere with the struggle for power in the court because he had already seen through it all.
Fortunately, he had a volume of "Great Learning Chapters" written by Zhou Chen. He had read this volume countless times and knew its value. Although it was only over 2,000 words, it was a scholar like Mr. Zhou.
For everyone, Confucianism is definitely the most precious treasure.
"I can't believe that a person as out-of-the-box as Mr. Chen can actually write a book that is valued by both the sect master and Mr. Zhou."
Mei Changsu looked back at Li Gang who looked surprised, and said softly: "Even you can learn to use your brain, why can't Xiao Chen write a book?"
Li Gang's expression was startled: "Sect Master, what do you mean? Are you saying that I didn't use my brain before? You are slandering me. I am also the leader of the Jiangzuo Alliance after all. How could I not use my brain? I
..., Alas, Sect Leader, I haven’t finished speaking yet, please listen to me.”
Mei Changsu was too lazy to pay attention to him and was about to leave, but after taking a few steps, he suddenly heard the sound of horse hooves and the familiar ringing of a bell.
He slowly raised his head and saw a white figure flying towards him at an extremely fast speed, which made his expression change.
"metropolitan."
Mei Changsu looked at the figure approaching quickly and sighed quietly: "Nihuang has been tracing my identity recently. I'm afraid I can't hide my identity. It's not just me. She seems to be suspicious of Xiaochen as well."
Li Gang said: "Sect Master, if Princess Nihuang continues to investigate and entangle her like this, I'm afraid it will cause us a lot of trouble."
Mei Changsu sighed: "If I really can't hide it, I can only tell her. But if she knows my and Xiaochen's identities, I'm afraid it will be even more painful."
Li Gang knew what he meant, so he couldn't help complaining: "Sect Master, you shouldn't have let Mr. Chen go to the south in the first place. Mr. Chen did the same. You knew the relationship between Princess Nihuang and you, but you still had to..."
"Shut up."
Mei Changsu suddenly scolded, and then said with an ugly face: "Don't say such words again in the future."
Li Gang was startled and immediately replied: "Yes, Sect Master."
While he was talking, Mu Nihuang had already rushed nearby.

"When will the bright moon come? Asking the sky for wine, I wonder what year it is in the palace in the sky..."
The beautiful singing voice was matched with the brisk sound of the piano, and a perfect piece of music was played in this way, making this huge courtyard seem to add a bit of vitality.
But for Lin Chen, it was a painful ordeal.
When he heard the beautiful singing, he pulled the quilt over his head in depression and huddled in bed.
"Here we go again, here we go again, how stupid can I be to do such a thing? Oh my god, let me die."
Originally, he just wanted to meet the famous girl Wan Bo and listen to her singing and piano music, so he pulled Zhou Chen along.
In fact, Zhou Chen did fulfill his wish, met Miss Banbo, and heard her beautiful singing voice.
But here comes the problem. After arriving here, Zhou Chen, who was eager to go back to Jinling, seemed to have completely forgotten about it. He was intoxicated in the gentle countryside every day. If he hadn't asked Zhou Chen every day,
Zhou Chen didn't even come to see him.
In the past few days, Zhou Chen has been with Miss Wanbo every day. During the day, he recited poems and poems, chatted and rapped, played the piano and drank tea, and at night...
Although Lin Chen was also cultured and arty, they were in a couple, talking sweetly, and only had eyes for each other. For him to go there rashly, it was just an intrusion, which was very unnecessary.
How could he, the majestic young master of Langya Pavilion, a handsome, suave and legendary man, stand such anger?
So, in the next few days, he stayed in the yard where he lived. He couldn't bear it anymore, so he ran out for a walk, although he would still receive a "critique" when he came back at night.
So, he regretted it, very much. This junior brother was so unreliable and had no sense of responsibility at all. Xiao Shu was still waiting for them in the capital, and Nie Feng was still waiting for them to rescue him in the capital, but he was there
Here I am chatting and falling in love with my confidante, Qin Se.
Are brothers really not as important as women?
"We have to leave tomorrow. Wenrou Township and the Tomb of Heroes. As a senior brother, I can't just watch my junior brother go to waste like this."
Lin Chen gritted his teeth and made a decision in his heart. He felt that if he continued to stay like this, he would be angry with Zhou Chen and cause problems.
In the courtyard, Zhou Chen stopped playing the piano, the wave dancing slowly came to an end, and the singing also stopped.
Zhou Chen had a bright smile on his face. He was really talented in wave-making. He was outstanding in both dancing and singing. He could sing while dancing, and accurately grasped the dance steps and tunes.
He has experienced more than a dozen film and television worlds and has been with many women. He has great resistance when it comes to women, but the wave in front of him always makes him feel infatuated. He comes from the bottom of his heart.
Love this woman.
In particular, Wan Bo didn't ask for anything from him, no commitment, no status, no constant companionship, just like a rare independent woman in modern times.
So although Wan Bo looks like a weak and delicate woman, her character is not delicate at all. If she has not met, he can still control himself, but once they meet, he really wants to stay with her and accompany her all the time.
she.
"Ban Bo, I have settled down in Jinling. Come with me to Jinling to celebrate the New Year, okay?"
Zhou Chen pulled Wan Bo in front of him, wiped the sweat from her forehead, and asked kindly.
Wan Bo shook his head gently: "You have something to do when you go to Jinling, so I won't hold you back. I stay here every festival to accompany my ancestors. I'm used to it. I don't want to go to the bustling place of Jinling."
The place."
Although it was very close to Jinling City and it only took half a day to go there, she still didn't want to go. She didn't know how much trouble she would cause if she went to Jinling City.
Zhou Chen said softly: "The more you act like this, the more reluctant I am to leave you."
Wan Bo said sensibly: "You don't have to worry about me. I have already gotten used to it after so many years. Zhou Lang, you are a person who does big things and you can't stop because of me."
"You, I am really wronging you by asking you to follow me."
Wan Bo stared at Zhou Chen and said firmly: "To have someone I know and love is the greatest blessing to me. I won't feel wronged at all."
Zhou Chen held her in his arms passionately, but he still felt guilty in his heart. He knew he wouldn't be able to stay for much longer.
"If something happens in the future, ask someone to go to the capital to find me, or go to the Jiangzuo League branch to find someone, and they will help."
"Well, I understand, and with Qing'er here, even ordinary people in the world are no match, not to mention Uncle Xue and Aunt Wu. You don't have to worry about my safety."
Banbo's reputation has spread all over the world. He has been able to live so freely for so many years. Naturally, he has his own abilities. The concierge Xue Bo and the housekeeper Aunt Wu were both masters in the world in the past. Even the maid Qing'er next to him is also a master.
He has practiced martial arts since childhood and is a good fighter.
Even Wan Bo herself has a lot of skills, her delicate appearance is just a persona, she is not really that delicate.
Two days later, under Lin Chen's impatient urging, Zhou Chen reluctantly said goodbye to Wan Bo and embarked on the journey back to Jinling.
The Qinhuai River is actually not far from Jinling City. The two of them took their time and arrived at Jinling City in half a day.
On the main road in Jinling City, Lin Chen walked unsteadily with steps that he didn't recognize.
"Xiaochen, junior brother, candied haws, I want to eat candied haws, buy me candied haws quickly."
"roll!"
Zhou Chen was so sick of the cold that he really couldn't stand Lin Chen. Damn it, you, a man in his thirties, are you playing the role of a delicate girl like me? Isn't it disgusting?
"Can you be normal and not disgusting?"
Lin Chen rolled his eyes: "I'm disgusting? Am I as disgusting as you? Do you know how I got here these days? Do you know how much pressure I have endured these days and how much pain I have suppressed? I am now
I just asked you to buy me a candied haws, and you treat me like this, why don’t you think about what you did to me a few days ago?"
"You need to understand the situation. It's you who asked me for help now, not me who rushed here to help. If you don't treat me better, what can you do to me if I don't take action?"
Zhou Chen looked disgusted: "You are really a talent. I have seen shameless people, but I have never seen you so shameless."
"Stop talking nonsense, just tell me whether you want to buy it or not."
"Buy, buy, what else can I do if I meet someone like you?"
Zhou Chen was helpless and had no choice but to buy candied haws for him. However, when the old man selling candied haws on a stick saw Zhou Chen and Lin Chen coming to buy candied haws, his eyes suddenly became very strange. After Zhou Chen bought it,
He quickly took Lin Chen and fled.
Seeing Lin Chen nibbling on candied haws like a child, Zhou Chen felt even more chilly.
"Please buy it yourself next time if you want to eat. Don't let me embarrass you."
"I have no money."
