Chapter 23 Donglin Big Boss

Zuo Mengeng has too much knowledge in his belly, and Xu Ruolin has too much insight in her mind.

When these two people meet together, it is like the golden wind and jade dew. Once they meet, they will conquer countless people in the world.

We meet so late, we share the same goals, we are in love with each other, we make a strong fire, you and I...

Okay, there can't be any adultery.

There is a light bulb sitting next to it.

Xu Ruolin is a woman, so in Zuo Mansion, the only person who can accompany guests is Zuo Xianmei.

Originally Zuo Xianmei was very excited.

Xu Ruolin came from the south of the Yangtze River, and was the granddaughter of the minister of the Ministry of Rites. In addition, the south of the Yangtze River was rich in treasures, outstanding people, and talented people like a crucian carp crossing the river.

Zuo Xianmei thought that she could gain some advice from Xu Ruolin and increase her knowledge and talents.

As a result, Xu Ruolin and Zuo Mengeng got together, talking about "productivity", "wealth", "colonial overseas", etc., which made her eyes wide open and she felt dizzy.

"Sister Xu, this kind of thing where you have to compare every penny with money is really... it's so demeaning."

Zuo Xianmei felt that Xu Ruolin must be made aware of her lost ways.

How can you not be a talented woman?

Xu Ruolin burst into laughter, raised her hand and pinched her cheek again.

"Simple little girl, this is a university that governs the world. How many cabinet ministers can manage such a university that is so coveted but not expected."

Zuo Xianmei tried hard to break away from Xu Ruolin's clutches and argued: "If you don't study the scriptures, how can you understand the truth? How can you cultivate your moral character? How can you leap over the dragon gate? Isn't the knowledge that governs the world based on the sage's subtle words and great principles?"

In Zuo Mengeng's eyes, Xu Ruolin felt very fond of this sister.

"Silly girl, those classics and principles are just a stepping stone to becoming an official in the imperial examination. Do you really think those officials govern the world by relying on the classics and principles? If that's the case, why do they still go to the Hanlin Academy for internship after being named on the gold medal list?"

Zuo Xianmei felt that her outlook on life had been severely impacted.

"Then...then why do the imperial examinations still need to take these tests?"

Xu Ruolin wanted to say something else, but Zuo Mengeng's words were much heavier.

"Because this imperial court is sick, and it is terminally ill, and there is no cure."

Xu Ruolin and Zuo Menggeng have discussed a lot these days, covering everything from family, country, world, astronomy, geography, humanities and politics.

Many of Zuo Mengeng's views shocked her greatly and inspired her greatly.

Only the thought of changing the dynasty that Zuo Menggen revealed in his words made her scalp numb.

Is rebellion so easy?

"Master..."

Zuo Rong rushed in and broke the atmosphere.

"The master ordered you to quickly change into new clothes and go out with him."

Zuo Mengeng was puzzled.

"Do you know what's going on?"

Zuo Rong knows a little bit.

"The old man whom I have longed for has arrived."

It looked like he was going to greet distinguished guests.

Zuo Mengeng didn't dare to neglect, so he put on a brand new robe, and when he came to the front hall, Zhou You was also there.

This guy didn't know why, but even though he tried to stay calm, his expression was full of excitement.

"Over the years, if it hadn't been for my uncle's care and protection, my nephew would never have been able to survive to this day. He is such a kindness and kindness, and my nephew will never forget it."

With that said, Zhou You actually knelt down to Zuo Liangyu.

After Zuo Liangyu returned to his home, Zhou You also moved into the Zuo family. But he usually stayed alone and did not interact with people in the home, which was weird.

Unexpectedly, something like this happened today.

Zuo Liangyu also looked excited and stretched out his hand to help Zhou You up.

"My good nephew, please don't say such unreasonable things. Your father's heroic name is respected by the world, so how can I watch in cold blood? From now on, the Zhou family will be supported by my good nephew. No matter what, your majestic reputation must not be ruined.

"

Zhou You solemnly said yes and burst into tears.

The group of people walked out of the door and headed directly to Chaoguan Pier.

Zuo Mengeng noticed that Zuo Liangyu actually brought two luxurious velvet sedans.

Zuofu is the general's gate. When going out, father and son either ride horses or walk, never take a sedan chair.

Although Huang and Zuo Xianmei can ride in sedan chairs, they are only simple and ordinary sedan chairs.

It is unclear whether Zuo Liangyu made such a wealthy and noble car or paid a lot of money to hire it.

After a short journey, we arrived at Chaoguan Pier, which was very lively.

Looking from a distance, we can see many people crowding inside and outside.

At the moment, a tall, unassuming official was being accompanied by three slightly younger middle-aged scribes, chatting eagerly about something.

There were several young people nearby. Although they did not dare to make any noise, they were all arrogant and had their own style.

The rest of the people were dressed in luxurious clothes, but they could only stand at the back. Obviously, their status was far behind.

Zuo Mengeng looked carefully and found that except for the official who was not angry and assertive, he actually knew everyone else.

The three scribes accompanying him were Zhang Haogu's three elders: Zhang Zhenxiu, Zhang Zongmeng, and Zhang Haogu's father, Zhang Zonghuan.

Among the young people, the one who is strong and tall is Liu Yiyuan, who is as famous as Zuo Menggeng.

The young and handsome young master accompanying him is Geng Zhangguang from the Geng family. His father, Geng Ruqi, is now the governor of Shanxi.

There was also a jeweled young master beside them, but Zuo Menggeng didn't recognize him.

Zhang Haogu stood on the other side bored, out of tune with the three people. When he saw Zuo Mengeng, he immediately waved happily.

Zuo Mengeng smiled and gestured, but did not go over immediately. Instead, he followed Zuo Liangyu to the elders' side.

Zuo Liangyu usually walks like a dragon and is domineering, but now he walked over and looked cautious for some reason, making Zuo Mengeng think of a servant.

"Zuo Liangyu would like to send my regards to the four adults."

This is the difference between civil and military affairs in the Ming Dynasty.

Not to mention that Zuo Liangyu was just a former military attache, but also a mere military commander. Even if he was the commander-in-chief, he could not hold his head high in front of civilian officials.

Zuo Menggeng fully thought that Zuo Liangyu would be in trouble if he got close to her.

What he didn't expect was that the four literati were actually quite kind to him.

Especially that majestic official took the initiative to support Zuo Liangyu.

"When these two seniors come to the local area, we as junior students are all eager to listen to their teachings. But we don't want Kunshan to take the lead. It's very annoying."

Zhang Zhenxiu and the others laughed loudly, congratulating Zuo Liangyu in their words.

Zuo Liangyu blushed after being praised.

"Maybe it's because the boss knows that this general is uneducated and incompetent, so he needs some guidance."

A few people chatted and laughed, and then the official walked up to Zhou You.

"Good nephew..."

The man seemed to be full of words, but in the end they only turned into the simplest comfort.

"It'll be nice to come back."

Zhang Zonghuan also said: "If my nephew has any difficulties in the future, just look for me and don't see anyone else."

Zhou You could not hold back the tears in his eyes and bowed to each other.

"What virtues and abilities my little nephew has, it all depends on Yu Yin. I have nothing else to ask for in this life, but I want to be clean first, so that I can comfort the ancestors of the Zhou family."

The official roared angrily.

"Don't worry, now that all the sages have returned to the court, it is imperative to bring order to the chaos."

Zhou You finally smiled, as if all the suffering was over.

Zuo Liangyu looked at Zuo Mengeng and ordered: "What are you doing standing still? Why don't you come forward and listen to your teachings?"

Zuo Mengeng did not dare to be negligent and saluted respectfully.

"The boy has met adults and three uncles."

He and Zhang Haogu were brothers, and they were naturally very familiar with the elders of the Zhang family.

Zhang Zhenxiu looked at Zuo Mengeng with admiration.

"As soon as my good nephew went to Liaodong and spent many years, his immature spirit disappeared, and he became quite like your father."

Zhang Zonghuan also said: "I met him before, and when I came back to tell him, I was quite surprised by all the insights I had. Brother Kunshan, I'm afraid it's not a trivial matter for me to give you time."

There are many people with mixed eyes, and Zuo Liangyu doesn't know what Zuo Mengeng said to Zhang Haogu, but the father is still inexplicably happy when his son is praised.

Before he could think about it, the crowd suddenly became noisy.

"I'm coming……"

Zuo Mengeng followed everyone's gaze and saw an official ship turning into the river at Shuimen Pass in the south and heading straight for the dock.

The two elegant and outstanding scribes on the bow of the ship stood facing the wind, with their big sleeves fluttering. They were really extraordinary and heart-wrenching.

Everyone couldn't help but take a few steps closer, as if they were seeing a huge star.

The official took the lead, no one else but me, and clasped his fists at the two scribes. His voice was clear and could be heard throughout the countryside.

"I remember Tai Gong as Ruo Gu Gong. Even after seeing each other for years, my style remains the same!"

The more substantial and generous of the two scribes returned the favor, and his laughter spread far and wide.

"This time when we go north, we are greeted by Duke Wei Yuan. How can Hou Xun be so virtuous?"

On the boat, the conversation on the shore was like singing, and they were enjoying themselves happily. However, Zuo Mengeng looked at the scribes on the boat in shock as if he had been shocked by electricity.

Boss Donglin, the most important person in Zuo Liangyu's life, appeared.
