Chapter 58

There are also two types of scholars in the Song Dynasty. Orthodox scholars are those academy students who take the imperial examination route, or have become officials. The biggest problem of this type of person is that they are not down-to-earth. No matter what they say, they can basically understand things themselves, such as Su Zaifang.

There is another type of so-called "barefoot" literati. There are many reasons why they cannot get into the system exam and have no chance to step into the real literati route, or become a second- and third-rate traveler among the people, or become a tea shop storyteller. It just so happens that although these people are down-to-earth in their words and can be accepted by the public, they like to express their encouragement and praise for the heroes and their violation of the ban with martial arts.

Not to mention who is right and who is wrong, in short, this group almost acknowledges that it is implicitly opposed to the government and orthodox literati. This is Cai You's dilemma.

After hesitating for a while, Cai You called his subordinates in and said, "Check it out, who did the genuine "Lanruo Temple"?"

"I understand the humble position, please don't worry."

My subordinates went in a hurry...

"The food at the master's house is so delicious, Xiao Yu'er really likes to eat at the master's house."

Liang Hongyu put her little face in a big bowl and ate hard, and said, "But my mother told me not to eat too much. She said she might not be able to give the master the food expenses this year."

Zhao Cheng took down the rice grains on her face and stuffed them into her mouth, touching her little cerebral, "If you want to eat, you can eat them. These are my and your mother's affairs."

Chen Meiniang is used to saving her habits, and she is not her daughter, so even though she likes this little girl very much, she feels a little distressed.

At this time, the door was pushed open, and a man in brocade robe came in. He was obviously not a public servant, but he was even more like an official, and he looked like a retainer working around an important official.

When Chen Meiniang saw such a person, she wanted to avoid suspicion, put down her job, took the little loli for a moment and went out. There was only one room in the room, and there was no inner hall to "avoid".

The man in brocade robe walked around the house with his hands behind his back and sat down. He took a piece of meat and ate it in his mouth and said, "In Xia Cai Jiu, this time it was sent by the magistrate."

But he didn't see Zhao Cheng accepting his head and bowing. Zhao Cheng just looked at the meat on the plate with a black face. He was not sure whether to hide the meat?

Cai Jiu had to clap his hands, and two servants came in with loads.

Cai Jiu said: "These are some dry goods, bacon, pastries, and wine that I sent from the magistrate's life."

"I will not receive any reward without merit. What do you want me to do?" Zhao Cheng said curiously.

"The Chief Minister just asked you to go there."

...

He was led into the backyard of the state yamen by Cai Jiu.

Walking between the path set up by Yu Xiao Garden, I happened to meet Miss Cai in green clothes. I was surprised that Mr. Su Zaifang was beside her.

"What are you doing?" Miss Cai's attitude became very strange when she saw this guy.

Zhao Cheng shook his head decisively and said, "I don't know if I'm here, it was called by the magistrate."

Miss Cai said in surprise and unhappy expression, "Okay... It turns out that the paper that bewitched my father and the story book "Lan Ruo Temple" came from you?"

"Miss Guan's tone, is this a bad thing?" Zhao Cheng was a little confused about her attitude.

Miss Cai stared at Zhao Cheng with bright eyes for a long time, "Maybe it's really a bad thing."

Zhao Cheng inevitably felt a little disliked for this strange-minded lady, and he was too lazy to be too lazy to give birth to her.

He didn't even see him apologize, nor did he ask why it was a bad thing?

Miss Cai rarely encounters such a thing, and a trace of anger flashes across her beautiful face, "At the beginning, I was really attracted by your story. I feel amazing. I think you are very talented and talented."

"What then?" Zhao Cheng asked.

Miss Cai's voice increased significantly, "I just understand now that you are full of scheming. That essay without ambition comes from you. It is obviously done to cater to the current temple and my father's ideas. I also see your character when you collect money outside the city and "save me"..."

At this point, she paused, looked at Su Zaifang, and said to Zhao Cheng: "Suddenly I feel that you are a little pitiful, you are a person who has nothing to do with the severity of any matter."

"Ye, this is just the personal opinion of Miss Cai." Zhao Cheng lowered his head in a humble and arrogant manner.

"You dare to be sarcastic to Miss Cai's family, which is really disrespectful!"

Su Zaifang, who had long disliked him, took the opportunity to show his performance and took a few steps closer.

Zhao Chengze frowned and took two steps back to avoid him.

Su Zaifang laughed and said, "Coward, you will know your character of human nature when you look at your poor essay. If you don't have enough integrity in your studies and don't want to serve the country and worry about the people, then what's the use of reading? Just give in and shrink your head. I want to ask where your backbone is?"

Mr. Su is really good at speaking. This is exactly what Miss Cai thinks, what Miss Cai wants to hear. At the same time, it is Zhang Ji's idea.

Miss Cai looked at Zhao Cheng curiously again, subconsciously hoping that he could say something different?

Zhao Cheng clasped his fists as if he was smiling: "Then Zhao dares to ask, as the incarnation of beauty and wisdom, righteousness and backbone, what have you done?"

Well, this...

Miss Cai was stunned and accidentally remembered that Su Zaifang usually talked with his mouth, and if he wanted to reason, he had never done anything.

Thinking of the nearly idiot plan last time, Miss Cai was the one who was not serious about the matter, and Su Zaifang, who came up with the idea, didn't have the courage to do so.

Being questioned like this made Su Zai's face turn red, "At least I don't cater to you as shameless as you."

Zhao Cheng blinked his eyes and said a little more eased, "The key is why Mr. Su thinks that it is a bad thing to cater to the superior intention?"

Miss Cai was stunned for a moment and said based on rebellious thinking: "According to your submission to Zhao Cheng, whether it is good or bad, is this kind of backbone-free and upright behavior worth promoting?"

Zhao Cheng bowed slightly, "I didn't say this is worth promoting. I just think that resisting the superior intention causes policy distortion and political division, which is even worse. From ancient times to the present, there are countless people and examples who do bad things with good intentions but do good things with bad intentions. What's more, which kind is good intentions and which kind is bad intentions, almost at all times, you can't tell clearly, right?"

Miss Cai was stunned again, "What do you mean is to blindly follow the blindly?"

Zhao Cheng thought about it and said with a smile, "This is a shallow knowledge. Zhao Cheng thought that if someone could figure this out and solve this problem, then the current national name is still Xia, and there will be no change in dynasty. This question has nothing to do with right or wrong, it is just a multiple-choice question, just like going to a casino to suppress the size, either losing or winning."

Miss Cai hesitated for a while and gave up and continued to argue.

This does not mean that she recognized Zhao Cheng. It was just that after such a comparison, she found that Zhao Cheng was a strange person. At least from this debate, whether it is temperamental or ingenious, Su Zaifang is really inferior to this person.

At the entrance of the study not far away, Cai You was twisting his beard and listening to the young people talking about it for a while. Cai You, who was already a little interested in Zhao Cheng, encountered a surprise, and especially liked to listen to Zhao Cheng's words.

So, Cai You rushed over before Su Zaifang was angry and smiled, "Please take care of yourself, Zhao Cheng is the person invited by this state, if you have any questions."

Su Zaifang was helpless and looked at Zhao Cheng and Cai You into the study with disgust...
