Chapter Ninety-One: Poetry in the Square

It's almost June again, and it's a little hot, but not sweaty.

Dongzi and Liu Xia walked out of the school gate, the two walked on the street arm in arm, although it was already more than nine o'clock at this time, but there were still many people on the street, each of them looked carefree, or one or two people played together, or three or five people chatted together, or seven or eight people danced together, looking very comfortable.

Occasionally, a breeze blew, blowing up the ends of Liu Xia's hair and sticking it to Dongzi's face, and Dongzi's nose smelled Liu Xia's body fragrance, which was very pleasant.

Neither of them spoke, and walked slowly towards the house.

When they walked through a square, they saw a group of elderly people sitting at the gate of the square chatting enthusiastically, and in front of them was a group of happy and lively children, playing in groups of three or five.

Looking inside, I saw a straight fountain spewing up, and this height instantly compared the willow trees on both sides. To the admiration of the two, the water column of the fountain transformed into a colorful light, illuminating the entire square very beautifully.

Liu Xia couldn't help but be a little fascinated, and said, "Let's go sit inside for a while and then go back." ”

Fuyuko nodded.

The two of them walked to the square, and there were many elaborate benches around the fountain for people to rest, and they chose an inconspicuous place to sit down.

The breeze came slowly, and the two of them felt at ease at this time, only feeling that such a temperature, such a night, such a crowd, and such an environment were the most suitable.

Dongzi was also in a good mood, so he held Liu Xia's hand and said, "This square is not bad, right?"

Liu Xia nodded and said, "Alas, I used to pass by often, but I never felt that it was so good-looking." ”

Dongzi said: "The ancients said: Mutual love is born from the heart. I think there is some truth in the fact that it is people's mood that changes the scenery, not the scenery that changes people. ”

Liu Xia smiled and said, "You still know a lot, so I'll test you,...... Well...... Can you tell us about the origin of the idiom 'born from the heart'?"

After hearing this, Dongzi scratched his head embarrassedly and said, "This...... I really don't know. ”

Liu Xia said with a smile: "This is called knowing what it is, not knowing why it is." What does this look like a lover of literature!"

Dongzi was even more embarrassed when he said it, and said, "Tell me, can you tell me about it?" ”

Liu Xia said "um", didn't tease him again, and said, "Have you read Guan Hanqing's "Pei Du Still Bringing"?"

Dongzi shook his head again, Liu Xia let out an "oh", and said, "You will read it slowly, don't worry." ”

Then, he told Dongzi about the origin of "born from the heart".

It turned out that this was talking about a famous figure in the Tang Dynasty called Pei Du. It is said that Pei Du was poor when he was young. One day, I happened to meet a group of high-ranking people on the road. After the master looked at Pei Du's face, he found that the longitudinal lines at the corners of Pei Du's mouth extended to the entrance, and he was afraid that he would starve to death, so he advised Pei Du to work hard to cultivate goodness. Pei Du followed the teachings, and in the future, he met a group of masters, who saw Pei Du's eyes clear, and his face completely changed, telling him that he would definitely be the prime minister in the future. In the end, he really became the prime minister.

Dongzi listened to Liu Xia tell this story and said: "According to the master's intentions, Pei Du's face has such a different change in front and back is because he constantly cultivates good, breaks evil, cultivates his heart, and turns with his heart, that is, because he is born from his heart?"

Liu Xia said: "Most of these stories are fake, just listen to them." ”

Dongzi said "um", in his heart, he felt that "each other is born from the heart" has some truth. But he didn't discuss it with Liu Xia again, because he felt that it was a profound question, and he couldn't figure it out himself.

Dongzi thought for a while and said, "Liu Xia, do you think the scenery in front of you is really beautiful?" He didn't know why he could ask such a question from "born from the heart".

Liu Xia didn't answer his question directly, but looked at him left and right and said, "Have you studied an article called "Night Tour of Ji Chengtian Temple" before?"

Dongzi read this article in junior high school, and only heard him say: "Did Su Shi write it? ”

Liu Xia nodded and asked him with a smile, "Do you remember how it was written?"

Dongzi thought about it, he just read it at the time, and he had already forgotten how he wrote it, so he said: "It turns out that Teacher Liu wants to test me, you start, I'll finish it for you." He still has this kind of confidence in literature.

Liu Xia said with a smile: "On the night of October 12 in the sixth year of Yuanfeng, I undressed and fell asleep, entered the house by moonlight, and set off happily. ……”

Dongzi then said: "Those who have nothing to do with pleasure, so they went to Chengtian Temple to find Zhang Huaimin." Huaimin also did not sleep, walking with each other in the atrium. Under the court, such as stagnant water and empty light, the algae in the water are crossed, and the shadow of the bamboo and cypress is also covered. Where is there no moon in the night? Where is there no bamboo and cypress? But there are few idlers like the ears of the two of us. ”

Liu Xia stretched out her thumb and said: "It seems that your literary skills are really good, study hard, and have a great future." ”

Dongzi smiled and said, "Alas, I really want to learn, I don't know if the teacher wants to teach!"

Liu Xia knew that he was joking, reached out and scratched Dongzi's armpit, and said, "I don't teach, I don't teach!" ”

Dongzi also stretched out his hand to hug her, and said, "No, my student has relied on you, you have to teach, and if you don't teach, you have to teach." Ha ha. ”

The two of them teased and played. The commotion lasted for a while before it stopped.

After a while, Liu Xia sighed softly and said, "Alas, I prefer the beautiful scenery of Chengtian Temple to such a view, I would rather you be Su Shi, I am Zhang Huaimin, if that's the case, how happy do you say we should be!"

Dongzi stretched out his index finger, bent it at ninety degrees, gently scratched Liu Xia's nose, and said with a smile: "What's the fun of that, I think it's better to have such a scene! Chengtian Temple is just Su Shi and Zhang Huaimin, what's the meaning, you see, there are so many people here, how lively, how good!"

After Dongzi finished saying this, Liu Xia broke free from his shoulder, sat up straight and looked at Dongzi, this look made Dongzi feel a little strange. He didn't understand which of his words was wrong, and said, "What's wrong, Liu Xia?"

Liu Xia looked at it for a while, sighed lightly, shook her head with a smile, and said, "It's okay, it's nothing." In her mind, this was the first time she felt the distance between Fuyuko and herself, but he didn't say it.

The two returned to calm again, no one spoke, Dongzi was bored, and wanted to find a topic, so he said: "Liu Xia, such a beautiful moment, I'll fill in a poem and send it to you." ”

Liu Xia turned her head and said, "You still know how to fill in the words? Why did I never know." ”

Dongzi learned from the ancients to read, shook his head and said: "The ancients said: I am familiar with 300 Tang poems, and I can't make poems and chant them." ”

Liu Xia laughed and said, "Then you groan." ”

Dongzi usually likes these, and he recited a lot of Tang and Song poems more than other students, but when it comes to filling in words and composing poems, this is the first time he has tried.

Dongzi was a little timid, and said, "This is my first time, you are not allowed to laugh at me!"

After hearing this, Liu Xia couldn't stop laughing, and said, "No jokes, no jokes, haha." ”

Fuyuko smiled "hehe", ignored her, and patiently pondered the matter of filling in the words.

Liu Xia turned her head and saw Dongzi filling in the words there seriously, although she was funny in her heart, she was embarrassed to disturb him.

After a while, I only heard Dongzi say: "I'll just fill in "Xijiang Moon", it's simpler." ”

Liu Xia said "um" and waited for his masterpiece.

I saw Dongzi pointing to the old man and child sitting at the door with his hand and said, "The yellow hair is pleasant and nourishing, and the hair is frolicking and happy." ”

Just filled in two sentences, Liu Xia couldn't help but laugh after listening to it.

Fuyuko turned her head and said, "What's the matter?"

Liu Xia smiled and waved her hand: "No, no, no, it's very good, it's very good, the artistic conception is very good, and Ping Qian is also on point." Pretty good, pretty good!" he said, giving him a thumbs up.

Dongzi said "hehe", and then pointed to the willow tree beside him and said: "Yang is like a picturesque willow pavilion, what a beautiful scenery in the world!"

After saying the last two sentences in one breath, Dongzi said: "How is it? Mr. Liu, is it okay for me to fill in the upper que of "Xijiang Moon"?"

Liu Xia nodded and said, "It's really good to fill in, at least the rules are there." ”

Dongzi said: "Ah, that's all my fault, in fact, I don't know much about plain rhyme and the like." ”

Liu Xia nodded and said: "I have a copy of "Baixiang Dictionary" in my office, which is a popular reading book for learning words, I will bring it to you on Monday, you can take a look, it won't take long to learn a skill like yours!"

Fuyuko nodded and said, "Alas, I've always wanted to learn but I don't know where to start, I really don't know how to thank you." ”

Liu Xia tilted her head and thought for a while, and said, "Then let's do it, after you learn it, you will also write a book of "Words" and give it to me, do you say okay?"

Dongzi stretched out his little thumb, completed a small hook, and said, "Let's hang the hook for a hundred years!"

Liu Xia also stretched out her hand and cooperated with him to pull the hook.

Dongzi said: "I haven't thought about the next part of this song "Xijiang Moon" yet, Liu Xia, why don't you help me make up for it? I can fill in half of it tonight, I think I'm already very good!"

Liu Xia said with a smile: "I've never seen you boast like this, but the lyrics are filled in to see the artistic conception, and simply put, it is the author's mood, if it is not filled in by the same person, it will be a good song!"

Dongzi said: "It's okay, anyway, we don't plan to let this song go down in history, it's just playing." Besides, you fill in the que, let's just see if we have a good idea!"

Liu Xia had no choice but to say: "Then I'll fill it in randomly, maybe it's not as good as you!"

Dongzi made a gesture of concession and waited for Liu Xia's departure.

I saw that Liu Xia didn't think much about it, and said: "The beautiful scenery must eventually be exhausted, and the prosperity is empty." I hope that your heart is like my heart, and I have no choice but to make up my mind!"

Dongzi only listened to it once, and he heard countless sadness from it, which was not what he meant, but Liu Xia blurted out that it was too late to stop it.

After Liu Xia finished filling in, she gently leaned on Dongzi's shoulder and said, "I know this is not what you want to hear, but you also said 'born from the heart', alas...... Dongzi, let's agree today, no matter what the ending is, I'm going to decide on this "Word Collection" of yours, if you don't give it to me, I will hate you!"

Dongzi listened to what he said and said, "Don't worry, I will definitely write you a book of "Words". ”

At the end, Dongzi said again: "Who said that this is not what I want to hear, this is exactly what I think, this is the first word we fill in, I must write it down, do you say okay?"

In fact, Dongzi also knows that no matter whether he likes it or not, the pleasant atmosphere just now is destroyed, and he said that he likes it because he wants to "have a good understanding" with Liu Xia, but in this way, he admits that he is also the same as Liu Xia, and he has a premonition that the two of them are "predetermined".

I saw Dongzi carefully write this poem "Xijiang Moon" in his notebook with a pen.

Yellow hair is pleasantly nourishing, drooping and frolicking. Yang is like a picturesque willow pavilion, a beautiful scenery in the world!

The beauty will eventually run out, and the prosperity will be empty. I hope that your heart is like my heart, and I have no choice but to make a decision!

"I like the style of graceful words, but I always feel that there is too much negative energy mixed in it, and I've heard of the 'Murphy effect', which means that if you're worried about something happening, it's more likely to happen." I think it, in fact, this is all psychological hints given to themselves by people, many of us are defeated by their own psychology, sometimes before they start, they feel that they can't do it, so they deny themselves first, so do anything, no matter what others say is okay or not, we have to use 100% of our efforts to try it!"

Dongzi seems to have become a teacher, Liu Xia has become his student, at this moment, he is patiently persuading his students to think about this relationship in a positive direction, don't worry about it.

Liu Xia knows that Dongzi has read a lot of books, understands a lot of things, and is also a very optimistic person, so he still agrees with Dongzi's reasoning. So he nodded lightly and didn't speak again.

The two talked for a while, and it was not too early, Liu Xia looked at the time and said, "Let's go." ”

Fuyuko also nodded, and the two stood up and walked out.

Dongzi stretched out his left hand as he walked, gently supported Liu Xia's left shoulder from behind, and held her in his arms, Liu Xia turned her head, Dongzi kissed Liu Xia lightly on the forehead, feeling that the two were extremely sweet.

At this moment, I heard someone shouting from behind: "Is it Teacher Liu? ”
