Chapter 35 Pushing the boat down the river to overcome difficulties
"It is not difficult for the disciple to be the intermediary, but the disciple has a request, the teacher will repair the meaning of the disciple to convey a letter, and the disciple will only hand over the letter, so as not to omit the disciple's words and fail to accurately convey the teacher's meaning, causing misunderstanding. ”
Besides, he was forced to be helpless, and he was in a hurry to come up with this not clever solution. In this situation, it is a hundred times more difficult for him to make a good move than it is for him to draw that lotus flower.
"This ...... All right. Lian Daning was originally reluctant to let this kind of tangible evidence fall into Chen Musa's hands, but looking at the meaning, if he didn't repair the book, it would be tantamount to giving him a reason to resign.
In any case, leaving this matter to do is half the battle, and it is easier to repair a book than to meet the old master directly.
He put pen to paper and wrote a letter, full of admiration and sincerity, which was nothing more than asking Chen Musa to collect his troops and stop making a fuss in the capital.
Moreover, after getting the letter, he always had a bottom in his heart, although he was sandwiched between the two venerable teachers, he was just a messenger. Even if there were consequences for this, he would not be too responsible.
Besides, he said goodbye immediately, and Lian Daning didn't keep him, but just sent him out in person, all the way to the second gate. Besides, he repeatedly asked the teacher to stay, and then he stopped, and watched him go out of the door.
When he came, the officials carried a sedan chair all the way back to Chen's mansion.
Besides, this time he sat with peace of mind, this was for the prefect's business, not that he was making a gesture with Qiao, and he was stunned to show off the sedan chair of the prefect's yamen.
When he arrived at Chen's Mansion, after thanking the four officials, he entered Chen's Mansion with dignity, and the porter saw that it was Gongzi, who just saluted, and didn't need to go in to report. Moreover, Shi Shiran walked all the way into the inner house and went straight to Chen Musa's study.
Halfway through, I happened to run into a pomegranate, and I was picking a few flowers in my hand, and it seemed that I was going to go back to arranging a vase to raise.
"Little junior brother, you wrote the Zhenlong that senior brother wanted so quickly?" Pomegranate was obviously a little surprised.
"Where, I haven't done it yet, my little brother has something to do with the teacher. Besides, he said with a low smile.
"Then you are unlucky, the old man has a distinguished guest, and he came from Beijing day and night. You better wait a while, or come to my room first, and when I finish arranging the flowers, you can draw them for me and hang them on the wall. I don't have to arrange flowers all the time. Pomegranate looked at Chen Musa's study and said.
He hesitated to take a step back and said, "Oh, that's not a coincidence. Or I'll come back another day. ”
Pomegranate was furious: "Why do you have to run away when you mention my room, could it be that I have a tiger in my room and can eat you?"
Besides, he smiled bitterly in his heart, you just let people into Miss Qianjin's boudoir? Even if you are a senior sister and brother, you must avoid suspicion, lest someone say irresponsible remarks, and it will be difficult to distinguish innocence at that time.
"That's not what it means...... he was in a hurry, he really couldn't say what he meant.
"Then what do you mean? Oh, you are a noble child, and I am afraid that the little woman's room is shabby, and your status will be lowered?"
Besides, knowing that she was angry, she could only smile bitterly: "Senior sister, you didn't really invite me to sit in your room at all, you just wanted to tease me." ”
"Hey, how do you know?" Pomegranate pretended to be surprised, but burst out laughing.
Her room, that's forbidden ground. Chen Musa's two eldest disciples have served the old master for many years, and they have never dared to go to the three feet in front of her door.
Besides, if she was fooled, she would naturally have a basket to damage him, and she would be able to pull back a game, but she hated not to take the bait, not to eat the bait, and to expose her old bottom.
"I don't know how you've been looking for an opportunity to tease me ever since I first met you. I said, Senior Sister, I only have admiration and respect for you, and I don't offend you at all......"
"Gotcha, gotta stop, you flamboyant tongue makes me angry too. You are also embarrassed to say it, and I will ask the old man in a moment, how do you explain this?" Pomegranate waved his hand to stop him, with a look of annoyance.
Besides, it is also a quick mouth, and it slips out of a sentence of admiration, which is a little ambiguous and seems inappropriate. He didn't realize anything himself, and when Pomegranate said it, it really seemed too frivolous. That's not what a science student should say.
He was about to explain, when suddenly the door of Chen Musa's study opened, and Chen Musa walked out with a guest. When the two of them saw it, they both avoided it and hid behind a bush of flowers.
"I'll ask the old man later, and if you want to explain, you can explain it to the old man. Pomegranate said half proudly, half shyly.
"Senior sister, can't you spare your little brother once?" and really begged for mercy. No matter what you think in your heart, what you say is really frivolous.
Pomegranate snorted and said, "Hmph, it's so easy to catch you once, it's strange that I can spare you." ”
"What did you catch him?" said Chen Musa's voice behind the two.
Both of them were startled, thinking that Chen Musa was going to send the guests out of the door, but they didn't expect to come back in the blink of an eye, and they walked behind the two unconsciously.
"I didn't ...... It's nothing, the two of us made a game, and I caught him cheating. "When it comes to the end, it's the pomegranate that retreats first.
"Do you play games? are you still a child? If you have this time, it's good to study, be a female celebrity, practice flower arrangement, and play at home?" Chen Musa looked at the two of them, and had already guessed seven or eight points, and deliberately followed Pomegranate's words.
"I'm not going to arrange flowers, it's all his fault. After Pomegranate finished speaking, he walked away quickly, for fear that if he stayed any longer, he would tell the truth.
Besides, I was a little apprehensive in my heart, and it was said that the admiration was not a big deal, but if someone had a heart to catch the wind and distort a few points, it would be impossible to explain it.
"You come with me. ”
Chen Musa said a word, walked in front with his head held high, and had to follow step by step, not even daring to make a mistake.
In the distance, Pomegranate was looking at him with a malicious smile, meaning to say: You have a handle in my hand now, if you don't behave in the future, you will have a good look.
Besides, he is not afraid of this, if he shakes it out just now, he still has some scruples, after this time, don't say that he can not admit it, even the pomegranate may not be embarrassed to say it, the situation just now is the proof, the pomegranate was going to say, but the words were changed to the mouth.
He felt that Chen Musa was a little different, it seemed that the haze of the previous days had been swept away, and today's interest was not ordinarily high, but really high. It seems that it is really the right time for me to come, and the guest in front of me must have brought some good news.
When I think about it like this, my heart is much lighter. The letter, hidden in the sleeve, didn't seem to be so heavy. He also thought that if the teacher was in a bad mood, what would be the result of handing over this letter by himself? It seems that luck is more important than anything else.
"Why did you come here today, do you want to play chess with the teacher to relieve your boredom?" Chen Musa looked at him and smiled.
"The disciple has something to do, so he came to see the teacher. Besides, he said it head-on.
"It's Master Lian who asked you to bring something out of it. Chen Musa was tepid, still with that expression.
Besides, I was shocked in my heart, whether these two people were engaged in science or reconnaissance? How could they be clear about each other's thoughts and plans? In that case, why should they let others pass on the word?
Hey, hey, are you so funny? Besides, there was a cry in his heart, but there was no expression on his face.
He couldn't make himself believe that these two, one was a sect of science masters, and the other was also expected to become the leader of a faction in the future, and they would actually go down to the point of inserting a fine work next to each other.
If this is not the case, how can they feel each other's thoughts and movements so thoroughly?
He thought about these strange twists and turns, but forgot about the serious things.
"You wonder how I would know, right? I can tell you that the emperor sent an edict to Wei Guogong, and Xu Xiang also sent a handwritten letter to Wei Guogong, and I just learned about it. Chen Musa explained:
"Thinking of the day when your senior brother was recalled by Wei Guogong overnight, I understand. The emperor and Xu Xiang, neither of them can afford to offend, he wants to stay out of the matter, but he can't ignore it, and he can only make it difficult for Master Lian, and let Master Lian be a substitute for the dead ghost.
"If Master Lian comes to the door as a lobbyist, then he will really become a ghost for the dead. How smart Master Lian is, besides, you can also learn a little, he imitated Wei Guogong and used Tai Chi techniques, and this matter will naturally fall on you. When I sent the guest out just now, the porter said that the palanquin of the prefect's yamen sent you, so a fool can understand. ”
Besides, I really admire it, this is not reconnaissance, but reasoning, who said that the ancients were simple in thinking and could not be logical? You see, you see.
"Teacher, you know everything, so I don't need to say more. This is a handwritten letter from Master Lian, and the disciple only needs to be a messenger, and he doesn't know anything else. "Besides, he deliberately pretended to be innocent and helpless.
"Well, you don't have to. You just need to understand that you will have many teachers like this in the future, and in science, only teachers are your teachers. Chen Musa said earnestly.
"The disciple understands. ”
And nodding, he did understand this. So in his heart, Chen Musa is much closer, and he is still somewhat estranged from Lian Daning.
"If you understand this, you don't have to worry about these little things, you just need to do everything with your heart, and don't be afraid that others will not understand. Chen Musa gave him his first science lesson.
The disciple remembered. ”
"Your family has a method of meditation and purifying your mind, and when your mind is quiet, you might as well think about what your heart is, if you can clarify your true heart, many things are just clouds in the air. ”
"Intentions?" and was a little confused for a while.
What is the true mind? Should it refer to human nature itself, or is it the only truth that Buddhism says?
He had never read a book on science, only read some Buddhist scriptures, and knew that some concepts of science were related to Buddhism and Zen, and were not contrary to Taoism.
"Straight to the heart, liberation at the moment?" and said one of the most common words of Buddhism.
"Well, almost. But it's not exactly the same, pointing directly to the heart, and still failing to explain what the heart is. Patriarch Baisha once said that the heart is lively, this is the heart, not the heart, not the nature, but a state of enlightenment. It's not that the mind is like wood and stone, as the Buddhists say, but it's just the opposite: lively. Chen Musa explained.
"The disciple has been taught. "And bow down and thank you.
These things are still very distant to him, and they are also very ethereal and incomprehensible. Buddhism talks about entering the Tao. In fact, the same is true of science.
Wang Shouren was able to realize the Tao because he offended the eunuch Liu Jin, and was demoted to Guiyang Yicheng, between the poor mountains and bad waters, there was no book to read, so he had to meditate every day, interpreting the old news in his heart, but he accidentally realized the way of the unity of knowledge and action, which evolved into Yangming Xinxue.
Chen Musa meditates in the quiet room when he has nothing to do, and only when people and Tao are in harmony can he realize this lively realm.
After Chen Musa read the letter, he smiled and said: "So as not to cause the disaster of the Tang Dynasty Niu Li Party dispute? Lord Lian also overestimates me too much, I can't wait to be reckless, how can I compete with those bigwigs in the Golden Horse Jade Hall?"
"Teacher, the trainer is really sincere. Even if some of the words are exaggerated, they are all words of courage. Besides, he really felt the sincerity of Lian Daning when he asked him to forward the letters, otherwise it would be difficult for him to make this trip.
"You don't have to vouch for him, I've known him much longer than you. I know that it is difficult for you to be a man between the two divisions, so in the future, you can stay out of the affairs of the two of us, and no one will blame you. ”
Besides, just as he wanted to say something, Chen Musa said again: "You don't need to say much, I understand your thoughts, but there is no trace of personal friendship between me and Lian Gong. He understands that, too. ”
And there was nothing more to say. In fact, he shouldn't have spoken about this kind of thing in the first place, as Chen Musa said, staying out of the matter is the wisest choice. He just didn't want the two teachers to face each other, so how could he do it even if he wanted to?
"Today I'm going to let you meet someone, and one thing to explain first, don't misunderstand. Chen Musa emphasized the last sentence, and then looked at him.
Besides, he said in fear: "The teacher's words are serious, how dare the disciple misunderstand the teacher's words." ”
"That's right, when I accepted you as a disciple, I didn't plan to accept any more disciples. However, Zhang Taiyue in the capital sent a junior disciple to worship under my door. Taiyue and I are in the same year, and I can't help but give this face. So this disciple still has to accept it, but it's not the same as you. Taiyue also said that he would just study under my door for a while, and then he would choose to stay by himself. So you are still my closed disciple, everything remains the same!" Chen Musa emphasized the word "unchanged", which naturally refers to the mantle.
Besides, I understood that Chen Musa temporarily accepted this disciple because he couldn't get over his face. In other words, this disciple is not an official entry, but just came to his disciple to study and gild.
As for misunderstandings, of course not. The mantle or something, and he really doesn't value it, because he always feels that it is too far away from him, as if someone expects him to become a god in the future.
Chen Musa clapped his hands, and after the old servant came in, he ordered: "Go outside and ask Zhu Gongzi and those little guys to come in." ”
The old servant answered and went out.
Besides, I know that the outside refers to the outer house, and this is the inner house, and other men are not allowed to enter casually, unless it is a child under the age of ten. He was able to enter freely because of the privilege of the closed disciples, and the two senior brothers were allowed to enter because they wanted to serve the teacher.
Not long after, more than a dozen people walked in from the outer house, but the leaders were Zhou Wenbin and Wen Zhengchen, and most of the people behind them also recognized it, either the students of Jinxiang Academy, or the local literati who had seen Chen Musa's wine table on the first day, and there was only one young man wearing brocade and wearing a virtuous crown, he didn't know it, and it was probably the junior disciple of Zhang Taiyue that Chen Musa said.
Zhang Taiyue?
There was a bang in his mind, wasn't it Zhang Juzheng? He was secretly smiling in his heart, and he even forgot Zhang Juzheng's number.
If you're not careful, something big will happen!
