Martial Arts Master Travelled to Ancient Time and Farms Chapter 68

   Chapter 68 Mr. Fu Jun is very surprised

  Cheng Ling followed Wang Yong and a group of followers onto the covered bridge.

   But I saw that this covered bridge was built in the air on an inner lake, and it was connected to a rockery in the center of the inner lake.

  There is a pavilion on the top of the rockery, and a stream flows down from the top of the mountain.

   I don't know if there is a spring on the top of the mountain, or if there is another special method. In short, the stream keeps flowing around the mountain, and finally falls into the lake below.

  On the other side of the lake, there was a faint sound of bamboo and silk, like the sound of a piano, accompanied by Xiao Ming.

  The night wind blows, the lights by the lake are like stars, the water in the lake is beautiful, and the music is hazy and the night is hazy.

The elegance of the    aristocratic family is undoubtedly revealed at this moment. Compared with what Cheng Ling has seen before, Kang Ping's rough pleasures, Linhai King's cruelty and directness, and Wang Yong's style are really low-key, luxurious and charming.

  Wang Yong did not directly mention to Cheng Ling that the feng shui tank had slipped on the rockery before, but just instructed his followers in front of everyone: "Go and check the layout of the rockery over there."

   Then invited Cheng Ling to take a seat in the open hall.

  The seats are all single-person and single-table, and they are placed in a staggered manner because of the mountain. It looks very casual, but Cheng Ling knows that the more casual things are, the more carefully designed they are, otherwise they will not be able to achieve such a wild and elegant effect.

   Just like those people who seem to be sitting casually at the moment, their attitudes are natural, but Cheng Ling also knows that many people are actually looking at her intentionally or unintentionally.

   They saw her being invited by Wang Yong to sit closest to the throne, watching her kneeling on the mat with a natural attitude, watching her being toasted by Wang Yong...

  Cheng Ling held the wine glass in both hands and held it in front of him, responding calmly, neither humble nor arrogant.

   Wang Liulang and others had already come down from the observation floor on the outer floor, and they were hiding in an attic on the east side of the lake. They had not given up peeping at Cheng Ling.

   A young man pouted and said, "Fu Jun is toasting, this guy is not sincere. It can be seen that he is from a rural area, and he really doesn't know how to behave."

   Who knows that no one agrees with him, but Wang Liulang said: "Qian Er, if that person is sincere and fearful, respectful and restrained, you are afraid that you will laugh at him for being petty again and say he is flattering?"

   After the words were finished, several teenagers suddenly laughed.

   Isn't that the truth?

   During the banquet, Cheng Ling's performance really surprised many people.

   Originally, a folk expert like her from the countryside was recruited all the year round by the major gentry.

   However, anyone from a lesser background, no matter how strong their usual martial arts skills are, will always show more or less various faults when they come to such a serious gathering.

  Etiquette may be poor, and those who are restrained in words and deeds are still good, and some even have eccentricities, which are very unbearable.

   Wang Liulang's side, a young man clicked his tongue, and suddenly said, "Have you heard the joke about Xiangtang before?"

Naturally, he has heard of this, and a young man smiled and said: "It was Brother Guan who recruited a master swordsman from the North Sword Sect and invited him to the table. As a result, they drank the fragrant soup for hand-washing as tea. Mu Feng, you said that. Is it this?"

The young man named Mu Feng said, "There's another one, you must have heard of it very little. It happened under my nose not long ago, and my father also recruited visitors, saying that he came from the East China Sea. I Dad asked the maid to serve sake..."

He paused for a moment, looked around, and said very interestingly: "Guess what? Hey, that person only drank turbid sake, and thought that sake was water, so he drank it on the spot, only to drink a cup, and then he got drunk. Yes, hahaha!"

  In this era, the brewing technology was limited, and it was very precious to be able to brew clear wine without leaving cloudiness.

   Therefore, the people who can drink sake in general are either nobles or rich, and there are many people who have never even heard of sake in their life, let alone drink it.

   The degree of turbid sake is low, and the degree of sake is high. It is not surprising that people who are used to drinking turbid sake suddenly drink sake and pour it into a glass.

  Will Cheng Ling also pour a cup?

  Cheng Ling... Maybe, maybe not, she doesn't know.

   In her current body, she has never touched alcohol in her life, so Cheng Ling used a cheating method to prevent getting drunk. She made a gesture of drinking, but in fact she just dipped the glass slightly. The wine had long since been sent into the material space by her under the cover of her fingers.

   After "drinking" three cups in a row, Cheng Ling's expression remained unchanged.

   The eyes of everyone looking at her during the banquet couldn't help but change. Wang Yong seemed to have a slight sense of drinking, so he talked to her very kindly about home life.

   "Have you read? Who taught you?"

  Cheng Lingdao: "When my father was alive, he was favored by a teacher in the county school and took him to study for the imperial examination. My father was a child, but unfortunately died when he went out, but the books he once read were kept at home by him."

   She had roughly explained her background before, saying that she had a widowed mother and two older sisters at home.

   Now that Cheng Ling said that her father Cheng Ming had read books, everyone's attitude towards her suddenly changed subtly.

Cheng Ling said: "My father kept books, and my mother knew some characters. The younger generation took these books when they were young and learned to read with their mothers. Later, when they knew more characters, they learned to read and understand by themselves. "

   Suddenly, an official said solemnly: "It turned out to be a family heirloom, and Lingtang is a virtuous woman!"

  Wang Yong said with interest: "Then what books have you read? What do you understand?"

  Cheng Ling said: "I have read "The Great Learning" and "The Doctrine of the Mean"...I can't really understand it. The main thing is to swallow the dates and recite them from memory."

   This is pure nonsense, the original body does recognize some characters, but the learning is very shallow, which is probably the level of being able to recognize a few simple medical books.

   It is Cheng Ling who will memorize "The Great Learning" and "The Doctrine of the Mean". Cheng Ling took the opportunity to bring private goods and lay the foundation for reading more books in this world in the future.

  It is very interesting that this world also happens to have almost the same Four Books and Five Classics as Cheng Ling's previous life.

  Before the Han Dynasty, the inheritance and dissemination of history and culture showed that the two worlds were very similar, and the main divisions and differences came after the Han Dynasty.

  Wang Yong liked scholars, and immediately admitted to the school: "Self-honesty is called nature. Self-confidence is called teaching. What happened after that?"

   This is the easiest way to continue, Cheng Ling immediately said: "Sincere is clear, clear is sincere!"

   connected, Wang Yong was delighted, and immediately asked: "Then according to your understanding, what is the interpretation of this statement?"

  Cheng Lingdao: "Life is alive, it doesn't matter what else, but if you can always ask yourself questions and put sincerity first, then everything will be right and wrong, and you will naturally be able to see clearly."

   As she said that, she sighed with emotion: "A sincere person is a wise person." After saying this, Cheng Ling bowed his hands to Wang Yong.

   This is not a straightforward explanation, but a deeper extension and insight.

  Wang Yong was even more surprised.

   This is the second update. It was said that there will be an update today. Hey, the flag is out, you have to do whatever you say, cover your face. Let's work on night shifts (*/ω＼*) Come see me tomorrow morning~
