The misty willow alleys enveloped tall buildings in the hazy fairyland. The dark clouds began to gradually gather, forming a depressing momentum on the top, and slowly there was a sound of thunder clamoring, as if heavy rain was coming.
As the saying goes, the storm is about to come and the wind fills the building. Before the heavy rain comes, the bamboo forest outside the window is activated by the sound of the wind, and the paper on the table is opened. Xu Yunmu, who is practicing calligraphy diligently in the study, has passed without realizing it. The paper is exhausted one by one, and the crooked words gradually look like some people.
He once heard the birds singing outside the window, the fragrance of flowers, and the clouds gathered outside, and the sky changed outside. After writing a hundred times, he suddenly felt extremely fulfilled, but when he stood up, he felt soreness in his waist and back.
Close the windows and then leave the study room. A corridor with carved beams and painted buildings is surrounded by large black clouds, and the sky and the earth are very ferocious.
In the pavilion in the middle of the lake where guests are specially treated, there are several people cooking and talking. Xiao Minglang, who is present, respectfully lowered his body and said: The old tutor has been in the imperial city for many years. How can he be safe?
Mr. Xu was wearing a gray shirt and robe, chatting and laughing on his old face, looking like a masterful demeanor of a wild crane, stroked his white beard and said: I am very happy, I wonder what your father is?
Xiao Minglang sighed slightly: My father has been in Liangzhou for many years. Even on this rainy day, he is always inevitable to have an old injury.
Master Xu thought deeply and sighed: Then you should pay more attention to your body.
Xiao Minglang said: Actually, my father once said that he was fortunate to work with the old tutor in his early years and assisted the emperor. He knew that the tutor was a noble and honest person. Before coming to the capital this time, he repeatedly reminded him to visit him. Besides, those who are not familiar with the place can also ask the tutor to take care of him.
When others are old, they are full of energy. When they hear the care of this, they immediately laughed and said: You younger generation, you will not know that if your father doesn’t say that I am a romantic man, you don’t need to say that you are kind-hearted. As for the kind words you care about, you are the emperor’s new favorite and a talented man of the country. How can I not care about you?
Xiao Minglang was not as powerful as his aura and replied with a smile: With the old tutor's words, it is better for me to take a reassurance.
Master Xu picked up the teacup and drank it slowly and placed it on the table. He took a long breath, and looked like he looked in a hurry: Have your father said anything else?
Xiao Minglang thought for a while, shook his head and said: There is nothing else.
Mr. Xu pondered: I heard that Liangzhou is cold and cold. Your father is hurting his body. He is most afraid of the cold. He has suffered over the years.
Xiao Minglang held his hands together and said respectfully again: Being able to defend the pass and defend the enemy for the emperor, even if it is broken into pieces, is also an honor for our Xiao family.
Mr. Xu suddenly patted his thighs and exclaimed: OK, okay, young people must have this temperament, your father has a good son.
Speaking of this, Old Master Xu, who was still imposing just now, didn't know what sad things happened. The old man's eyes were wet and tears rolled up, and he wiped his cheeks with his sleeves and said: Oh, it's like me, when he is old, he meets a bastard son. He is so adult, he knows to look for flowers and ask about willows all day long, and he doesn't know what evil he committed in his previous life!
Xiao Minglang hurriedly leaned forward and comforted him with kind words: Don’t be sad, old tutor, I think the son is a talented man, and he will become a great man in time.
Master Xu wiped his tears, looking like an old man with a pity, and his voice twitched: Don’t comfort me, the civil and military officials in the court made fun of me all day long. It’s really a misfortune to the family, and the ancestors are not effective...
Xiao Minglang said repeatedly: It is definitely not comfort, every word is true.
Mr. Xu coughed, and stopped crying and said: My nephew laughed at me, let’s talk about something else, something else.
Xiao Minglang said: Look at the old tutor, what does the emperor mean to value juniors so much?
The Master Xu became smart and said: The Master values your father and you too. This is the love of the house.
Xiao Minglang sat upright and said: Last night, the prince came to the humble house to meet, which was quite intriguing. My nephew was just here, so how dare he follow him?So I got it over, and the battle for the reserve was really fierce.
Xu Taifu smiled and said: Although I am idle and wild crane, I am now advising my nephew, you can't be anxious about such things. Do you think the emperor stays in his door and doesn't know the world?
When Xiao Minglang heard this, he was slightly moved and said: My nephew had thought about these things too.
Mr. Xu saw this and said unfathomable: So if anyone can see the whole world clearly, it must be the current emperor. The prince seems weak, but his cunning is actually very profound.
Xiao Minglang said: So my nephew came here specially today. He really couldn't believe anyone. He only dared to tell the truth to the Taifu.
Xu Taifu smiled and said: What's more, my relationship with your father's colleagues will always support you.
Xiao Minglang stood up and bowed down, and said respectfully: If there is the kindness of the Grand Tutor's support, my nephew will not be able to repay you. I am willing to give in my sincere heart in the future.
Master Xu smiled and helped him up and said: My good nephew, let’s talk about it too, what do you want me to help you?
Xiao Minglang stood up and sat down again and said: Any new top scholar who can enter the battlefield without competing with military generals, and it is difficult to have a foothold in the court. Therefore, my nephew is even more willing to join Wenyuan Pavilion and recommend himself to become a Grand Secretary.
When Master Xu heard this, he said aloud and said with a long smile: This Wenyuan Pavilion is the highest calligraphy palace in our country. It is a person with shocking knowledge. However, the nephew opened his mouth and had the talent of the top scholar. It was still because of the friendship between our two families, so this matter will naturally be kept on me.
Xiao Minglang was overjoyed and said: If this is the case, then the nephew really has no way to thank him. He hopes that he will give 200,000 taels of silver, just a little care. I hope the old tutor will not dislike him.
Mr. Xu smiled brightly and said in an experienced and professional manner: This Grand Secretary of Wenyuan Pavilion cannot be bought with money. This silver is priceless, but friendship is priceless. I am scarce now.
Xiao Minglang said cleverly: Could it be the matter of the young master?
Mr. Xu nodded and said: There are no parents in the world who don’t love their sons, and so is my husband. Although my second son is a playboy, he is also a treasure in his heart. I just hope that if my son dies in the future, I will ask his nephew to help him.
Xiao Minglang said clearly: Even if the Grand Tutor doesn’t say it, this is the friendship between the little nephew. Anyone who is not very good at seeing will have a hard time with the second young master?It also depends on whether my Xiao family agreed or not. The 100,000 Liangzhou troops are the strong support of the son.
Xu Taifu is so handsome. He knows that his words are a bit humble, but this is enough. He said: OK, but you must not be anxious. You should walk around the imperial city more often and build momentum. Within two months, I will guarantee you to enter Wenyuan Pavilion.
Xiao Minglang knew that things were going to be done: OK.
Just at this moment, a heavy raindrop fell into the lake, and then many raindrops fell down, causing countless ripples of water.
Xu Yunmu, who was watching the romantic top scorer walking away from a distance, leaned against the corner of the wall and shook his head: What are he doing?
Liu Die'er, who was in a good mood, came to visit him and might have something big to do.
Xu Yunmu said disdainfully: What big things can this person do? At most, he can win over relationships everywhere.
Liu Die'er smiled and said: Look, it's getting dark and it's getting dark, so don't you eat anything?
Xu Yunmu was reminded by her and said hungryly: Let's take a walk.
Liu Die'er took him to a place full of food and watched him suck his voraciously and said: How about writing during the day?
Xu Yunmuda said in the meal: I think that Xia Zhiyue is really amazing and she is not an ordinary person when she speaks.
Liu Die'er looked at him and said: Of course, after all, she is the prince's female military advisor. Can she be the same as ordinary people?
Xu Yunmu said curiously: How did you know?
Liu Die'er smiled and said: This is not a secret, everyone in the city knows it.
Xu Yunmu took a few more bites and started drinking tea: It’s raining outside so hard, and there’s no place to play now, so don’t you eat something?
Liu Die'er still said cutely: I've eaten it.
The heavy rain outside the door urged the branches and leaves downstairs. Xu Minglang satisfies the food and smiled in his eyes and said: This is the first time I know that the food from home is also delicious.
Liu Die'er held her face and said: Will she still be a playboy in the future?
Xu Yunmu stood up and looked at the heavy rain, the candlelight in the beautiful night, and said with a handsome smile: Of course not.
Liu Die'er stood up and said sadly for the first time when a girl had a sad girl: If peace every year would be peaceful, she would naturally be carefree and sing happily. But now everyone is making life and death decisions for the future. If you are not careful, you will be doomed. Even Xiao Minglang dares to make bets easily, but there is no other choice in front of you except the prince.
Xu Yunmu came outside the door, held the railing and admired the night rain, and watched the lanterns blowing by the wind and said: Life is as light as an ant, but there is always a saying that it is lighter than a feather and more important than Mount Tai.
Liu Die'er also stood beside him, and smiled beautifully: You are the devil in the world, you can't give up easily.
Xu Yunmu turned his head and said proudly: Just like the great saints you mentioned, Confucius is very powerful. He can talk nonsense in literature and hold a bow and hold a sword in martial arts.
Liu Die'er didn't know what she remembered, and her beautiful eyes lit up: Confucius's disciples are two thousand, why do you think others are willing to sit down and listen to him honestly?
Xu Yunmu stretched out his hand and scratched his head and said: Well, this is Confucius, and it is impossible for others to listen to it.
Liu Die'er stretched out her jade hand and shook her back and said: No, no!
Xu Yunmu thought about it again and again, frowned and said: What is that?
Liu Die'er was so happy that she almost jumped up and said lively and cutely: Let me tell you, because others could not beat him, so she sat down honestly and listened to him reasoning!
Xu Yunmu laughed wildly and said: Haha, maybe that's true!
Liu Die'er laughed and said: No matter whether it is, or not, this Confucius is a very powerful person, and everyone in the world respects him.
Xu Yunmufu looked around and said: So look, this person must have high military power, otherwise no one would be willing to listen to your reasoning. Just be with the top scholar, whose father is Xiao Chengzong, no one dares to offend him. If he doesn't like him, he will flatter him a few words. In time, I, Xu Shaomu, will also be like Xiao Chengzong.
Liu Die'er approached him and encouraged: That's right!Miss Zhiyue said, "You would rather have a king, prince, general, and minister. If you are a smart person like you just want to win over the prince to save your life, he may not look down on you. You are strong, which is the right way."
Xu Yunmu said: From now on, I will have to read more military books.
The old tutor standing at the corner of the stairs was beaten by some wind and rain. After hearing the conversation between the two, he turned around silently and sighed, but a long-lost smile appeared on his face, and he almost threw himself into the heavy rain in the night as if he had never been there.
……
Note: Confucius in history was proficient in the six arts of gentlemen, among which there was archery. In reality, the martial arts power was very high. The folk proverb says that Confucius hangs his waist and is both civil and military.Confucius wore swords in all dynasties. It was found in the Song Dynasty that Zhong Ni was born, and it was like a long night forever.Praise Confucius for advocating the way of the saints in the troubled times of the Spring and Autumn Period, and teach and educate all the people.
