Chapter 69 No hatred and no resentment

Song Gensheng couldn't understand what Gu Qing was saying. It was impossible for him to understand, and it was even more impossible for him to think about what kind of life a person who had lived two lives would have.

Living too long is not necessarily a good thing. When you see too much of the warmth and coldness of human relationships, your mentality gradually becomes indifferent, and when you no longer have emotional fluctuations in the joys and sorrows of the world, living is actually equal to death. The remaining breath is just the handwriting on the tombstone.

Not diluted by time.

Song Gensheng seemed to have made up his mind that Gu Qing's Mid-Autumn Festival poem no longer had anything to do with him.

If you are not talented enough, then it is not enough. At least you should be magnanimous in your conduct.

Gu Qing disapproved of Song Gensheng's decision, but still chose to understand.

This is the difference in values ​​between two people who are thousands of years apart. Gu Qing is pragmatic and has a strong purpose in doing things, but he doesn’t care much about the quality of the process, as long as he can achieve the goal. Song Gensheng, on the other hand, has too strong a sense of morality and is poisoned by the sages’ books.

It is inevitable that there are many more constraints on what you say and do.

The two looked at each other, one thought the other was pedantic, and the other thought the other had no bottom line. In the end, they had to rely on their fists when arguing.

Song Gensheng was no longer forced to copy poems to gain prestige, but Gu Qing still wanted to promote Song Gensheng as an official. In fact, Song Gensheng's character was completely unsuitable for officialdom, and becoming an official would even put his life in danger, but it didn't matter, Gu Qing would protect him.

Gu Qing actually wanted to know if such an upright person entered the officialdom, whether the world and human relations could tolerate him, and whether the officialdom of the Tang Dynasty was clean or rotten.

"By the way, I met a group of people in the morning. The leader was a middle-aged man. He led a group of guys who were definitely not kind. They said they were looking for you. I saw that they came with bad intentions, so I temporarily deceived them. You go to the porcelain kiln on the mountain.

Hide for two days and come back after I find out more about it."

Song Gensheng was stunned: "I have no enmity or grudge against others, why are they not nice to me?"

Gu Qing sighed, then put on a pleasant smile and said, "You ate a little rabbit the day before yesterday. It was roasted very fragrantly. When you take a bite, it oozes oil. Is it delicious?"

Song Gensheng nodded blankly: "It's delicious."

"If that poor little rabbit had any knowledge, what do you think it would say to you?"

"Wha...what?"

"It has no grudge against you. It looks hot and is so generous. Why do you want to eat it?"

Song Gensheng: "...You are right, I will go up the mountain to hide."

"You don't have to hide. Scholars have awe-inspiring auras. Maybe they can scare away the bad guys with their awe-inspiring aura."

Song Gensheng pointed to his nose and said: "I, a scholar, may be a bit pedantic, but I am not stupid. Besides, I, a scholar, am still a parallel importer."

After briefly tidying up, Song Gensheng and Gu Qing left home and were about to take the mountain path up the mountain when they suddenly heard an angry voice roaring under the old locust tree in the center of the village.

"Who is Ding Dalang? Ding Dalang, get out of here!"

Song Gensheng heard it clearly and couldn't help laughing: "The Ding brothers have a lot of grudges with others, and here comes another one seeking revenge. Unfortunately, he has been sold long ago, and this person's revenge is destined to be unavailable."

Gu Qing listened attentively for a while, then his face gradually became a little embarrassed.

The man in the center of the village was still roaring, his voice a bit sadder.

"We have no grudges against you, so why did you harm us like this? You deceived us into the mountains and almost starved to death there. Ding Dalang, you are so heartless!"

Song Gensheng was surprised and said: "The Ding brothers are so vicious. They have been sold for many days. Did this man just come out of the mountains?"

Gu Qing pursed her lips and said nothing.

Song Gensheng turned to look at him and asked curiously: "Why does your face look so weird?"

Gu Qing coughed: "There is something I forgot to tell you. In addition to the name I use now, I also have another name..."

Song Gensheng was worthy of being a parallel scholar with a good memory. He immediately said: "I know, Gu. Nicholas is positive, inspirational, cold and green."

"That's the special name when digging a hole. Apart from this..." Gu Qing coughed twice uncomfortably and said, "There is also a special name when you are lying..."

Song Gensheng suddenly realized: "The 'Ding Dalang' that man yelled at was you!"

An affirmative sentence without any questioning at all.

Gu Qing sighed: "You are really my confidant."

Song Gensheng also sighed: "I think you are the one who should go up the mountain and hide."

"No need, you go and invite them to my house. By the way, I want to see if Miss Zhang Huaiyu is at my house. I don't know why I suddenly feel that she is so kind. Maybe it's love..."

…………

When Gu Qing returned home, Zhang Huaiyu was walking out in a hurry, covering her face with her sleeves for fear that others would recognize her.

Gu Qing didn't have time to stop her, she walked out of the door and fled like a fly.

So Gu Qing had to go in alone. At the short table in the middle of the yard, the middle-aged man was glaring at him with an angry expression. The attendants next to him were also glaring at him.

Bu Shan, while Song Gensheng sat awkwardly on the futon with a smiling face.

These people looked very embarrassed, and their clothes were torn and torn. They gathered in the yard like beggars basking in the sun after begging for food.

Seeing Gu Qing enter the door, Song Gensheng stepped forward and said in a low voice: "I just explained to a few guests that they won't blame you too much, but they have been walking around in the mountains all day and are somewhat angry. Please bear with it."

.”

Gu Qing immediately felt relieved, stepped forward with a calm expression, and saluted the middle-aged man: "Elder, I have deceived everyone today, I hope you will."

The middle-aged man snorted and said, "Your name is Ding Dalang?"

"My name is actually not Ding Dalang..." Gu Qing laughed dryly.

The middle-aged man was shocked: "What do you mean by 'not barking'?"

"It means that most of the time my name is Gu Qing, and occasionally I am called Ding Dalang."

Song Gensheng looked up to the sky and sighed speechlessly.

The middle-aged man stared at him for a long time, then suddenly laughed angrily: "It's true... I hunt geese all day long, but I got pecked in the eye by the geese. There is such a cunning person in this simple mountain village. I didn't notice, and I deserved to fall into your trap."

Gu Qing grinned, cupped his hands and saluted, "I haven't asked the elders for your surname yet."

The middle-aged man stroked his messy beard and tried to remain reserved as he said, "I am Xianyu..."

"Salted fish?" Gu Qing's expression suddenly became very strange, and he looked at the middle-aged man with admiration: "This is the first time I see someone who has no dreams and is so confident... Actually, I also want to be a salted fish."

"You bastard! My surname is Xianyu, my given name is Xiang, Xianyu Xiang, my courtesy name is Zhongtong."

Gu Qing groaned, feeling that the name sounded familiar. He didn't know where he had heard of it. If he had heard of this character in his previous life, he must be very famous, but Gu Qing didn't know where he was famous.

In order to determine whether Xianyu Zhongtong was a famous person, Gu Qing immediately asked: "May I ask the elders, are you a poet? Or a famous minister?"

Xianyu Zhongtong looked strange and said, "Have you ever heard of me?"

Gu Qing hesitated and said: "It's a bit familiar, I'm not sure if I've heard of it."
