Chapter Ninety-Six: Yunmeng Thatched Cottage.
Along the way, Fengge turned into a scholar and housekeeper, carrying Wang Yangming's bag, and of course he paid for all the expenses. Wang Yangming, the www.biquge.info of the pen "Fun" Pavilion, was not embarrassed at all, but talked and laughed, pointed out the country, and inspired the words. Only a little bit of loss, this child, really did not know his name, did not show him the worship of the mountains. It's still a lack of books, so it's okay, it's a piece of jade, so it's carved.
Feng Ge also felt that the money should be spent, the old man solved the problem for himself, and the conversation along the way opened his eyes and understood a lot of secrets of the dynasty. Through conversation, Feng Ge finally figured out that Uncle Wang was really a nobleman, not only highly respected, but also knowledgeable and influential in the literary world. Zeng Guanju Sanpin Privy Order, in the court, offended the powerful royal family, and was forced to resign and go into hiding. I usually like to travel around the world alone, but this time I fell ill in a small shop in the mountains, and I was saved by Fengge because of fate.
Slowly, Feng Ge finally knew why Uncle Wang had so little money on him. When he went to the prefecture and county, there were always many literati and bachelors, and they respectfully welcomed him, and even the officials of the prefecture and county also regarded him as a guest. But Uncle Wang is extremely high-minded, at most he eats a meal, drinks a glass of wine, and does not take anything from the gift. Every time, Uncle Wang had to push him out: "My disciple, Fengge!" After speaking, he still held his white beard, and the old man was very relieved.
Yunmengze, sparkling and vast, is the largest lake in the territory of the dynasty. Yunmeng County is named because it is close to Yunmengze, a small lake and bay on the outskirts of the county, a patch of reeds, water birds inhabit, fishing songs are sung at night, the distant mountains contain dai, and the scenery is beautiful. There is a large courtyard surrounded by a fence on the shore, several houses made of bamboo and wood, scattered and scattered, vegetable patches and flower beds dotted in between, and the sound of chickens and dogs rises and falls.
Feng Ge came here with Wang Yangming, and he was unconsciously relaxed, and praised: "Uncle Wang, you will really enjoy happiness!" Wang Yangming was unhappy: "Boy, I am resigning from my official position and returning to my hometown, leaving the world, a few grass and reeds, not far from poverty!" Feng Ge was happy: "The lake and mountains, the original ecological villa, and the zero distance contact with nature, the Feng Shui treasure that can be met but not sought, how much is this worth!" After speaking, he took a deep breath, his face was full of intoxication, and he didn't want to be lightly beaten on the back of the head, "It's valuable? Where did I get the money, oh! You kid won't turn around and ridicule me for being a corrupt official. ”
An old man and a young man laughed a few words, and walked to the fence gate, a man who looked like an old butler forgot to open the door after hearing the news. Feng Ge stopped in front of the door and looked at the four words written on the wooden board on the door: Yunmeng Thatched Cottage. The pen and ink are vigorous, the introverted implies arrogance, the elegance shows calm, contradictory rhyme, but it is natural, and the artistic conception and momentum are extraordinary.
Wang Yangming was beside him, looking at Fengge with a smile, savoring his handwriting, without urging or explaining. It wasn't until Feng Ge came back to his senses that he asked softly, "How?", Feng Ge touched his head embarrassedly and replied: "It's too profound, it seems to understand whether I understand it or not, and I can't say why." "That's right, different people, different moods, different times, looking at the same calligraphy and painting, the perception will be different, that is, I, now look at these words, and the original mood, is also different. ”
A short sentence, such as a lecture and a reminder, Fengge is enlightened. Walking into the courtyard, Wang Yangming instructed the housekeeper: "Clean up the main hall and prepare the incense case." The housekeeper's eyes shrank, looked at Fengge, and left. Fengge is a little inexplicable, should you prepare a meal when you come to the guest, do you prepare a fragrant case?
Wang Yangming's study, worthy of its name, is full of books, as well as ancient oracle bones and bamboo slips. He coughed and said slowly: "Fengge, the old decay is about to die, but your eyes are not dazzling, your heart is bright, although you are young, you are kind-hearted, and you have the resources of heaven." Feng Ge was silent for a moment, and said with a wry smile: "I'm just, an ominous orphan, how can I make you old and favorable." Wang Yangming picked up the teacup, took a sip, closed his eyes and pondered after putting it down, and opened his eyes and said in a deep voice after a while: "I don't ask about your past, but I can give you a bright future, are you willing to worship me as a teacher?"
The incense case in the main hall has been prepared to stop, there is no tablet, no portrait, only a piece, on which five big characters are written: heaven, earth, pro, king, teacher. The last three words are mentioned, ranking under the sky and earth, but the pro is ranked before the king. Wang Yangming took the three pillars of incense from the butler's hand, bowed respectfully, inserted it in the incense burner, turned around and stared at Fengge, and said in a deep voice: "In my heart, I take heaven and earth as my teacher, learn things to be reasonable, learn to use, and do what I do to be close to my family, relatives, relatives, people, and country, and you are always there but you are not always there, the most important is the teacher, what is the teacher? The capable person is the teacher, the teacher does not have to be good in everything to the disciple, and the disciple does not have to be inferior to the teacher. ”
No wonder you will be forced to resign, deviate from the scriptures, and go against the grain! One step ahead is called advanced, but if you are a few steps ahead, you can only become a martyr! Seeing Fengge stunned, Wang Yangming said solemnly: "My doctrine is shocking to the world and has never been lightly preached. ”
Feng Ge also took the incense from the butler's hand, also bowed respectfully, and after inserting it in the incense burner, he smiled and said: "The people are precious, the community is secondary, the monarch is light, the master, I understand it right!" Wang Yangming trembled with excitement, suddenly like crazy, laughed, and shouted: "God opens his eyes!
The apprenticeship ceremony is very simple, Wang Yangming sat in the hall, Feng Ge knelt down and saluted a cup of tea, and the ceremony was completed! Dinner was three masters, apprentices and housekeepers, a small plate of bacon, and the rest were a few vegetarian dishes. The food can be arbitrary, but the wine is indispensable, this is the common disease of the literati, Wang Yangming is very interested, frequently raise a glass, and finally he gets drunk, but Fengge is not full.
Strictly speaking, Wang Yangming is not a good teacher. Educational methods?Hehe, there is no way, take books to read, ask if you are confused, at most cut off time, and study the reading experience of Fengge. But there is one thing that Wang Yangming urges very tightly, and that is to let Feng Ge practice calligraphy! Because the words written by Feng Ge, in his words, are like dogs, and they cannot be seen. Feng Ge expressed his dissatisfaction, his own words can be regarded as square circles. Wang Yangming wrote a few words casually, so that he could write to resemble it, but as a result, he was forced to sing a song, and almost wanted to find a piece of paper to cover it and paint red! In the contemptuous eyes of the master, it was embarrassing.
On the bank of Yunmengze, every day when the red sun rises and the sun sets, a teenager is always on the beach by the water, writing with a stick, and practicing calligraphy attentively. This is Wang Yangming's explanation: "Paper and ink are too expensive, let's practice on the beach first." Feng Ge was very depressed, saying that he paid for paper and ink, but who knew Wang Yangming's words, he was tired of half to death: "Your current words, written on paper, are disrespectful to the sages." "Oh, are you my master? Am I your apprentice? The kind that is still closed, it's too shocking.
A month passed, and Feng Ge finally understood the deep meaning of Shizun letting him practice calligraphy on the beach. The lake breeze is gentle, the world is secluded, the heart is empty, do it casually, play freely, wipe it off if you are not satisfied, there is no mood of gain and loss, you are tired of writing, you can look into the distance, and the lake and mountains soothe your heart.
Wang Yangming watched from afar, on the beach, writing a song in a hurry, frowning, this child, still upset, walked over and spoke: "Writing, difficult, slow!" After speaking, he picked up a wooden stick, calmed down, and slowly wrote a "person" word on the beach.
Another month passed, and Feng Ge thought that his words had grown a lot. So he wrote an article intently and presented it to Wang Yangming for signing: "Master, look at my words, can you be regarded as entering the house?" Who knew that Wang Yangming glanced at it, and tortured the dead as soon as he opened his mouth: "Entering the house? "When I heard the wind song, all my good mood came to naught.
"Hurt my pride. Wang Yangming took a sip of tea and continued to abuse him: "The self-esteem that can be hurt is not called self-esteem, it is vanity and complacency." This kind of heart must be broken and destroyed, otherwise you will not be able to move forward. The teachings of the master echoed in his heart, and he fell into deep thought. Since losing his memory, along the way, there have been twists and turns, and anxiety has been uneasy. For more than a year, I thought I wanted to open it, but in fact, it was sad, and I was avoided. A fragile heart, no matter what you do in the future, will only do nothing.
Looking at Feng Ge, who was low in thought and his face was changing, Wang Yangming secretly praised it in his heart. This child, who has no one to guide and lacks tempering, has finally started and is on the right track.
