Chapter 227: Yueyang Tower (Second Update)
At about half past five, Xu Yuanyuan finally called Chen Qingdong.
As soon as the phone was connected, Xu Yuanyuan immediately apologized: "Qingdong, I'm sorry, I've just finished my work now." Where are you?"
"Hehe, it's okay, I'm drinking coffee with Sister Wei. Chen Qingdong said with a smile, "Sister Wei's knowledge is really profound, and I have really benefited a lot from giving me a coffee knowledge popularization class." ”
Xu Yuanyuan also smiled: "My cousin just likes to drink coffee. Then he lowered his voice and said: "She also likes to show off her coffee knowledge, and sometimes her attitude is a little arrogant, you are not bored of chatting with her, right?"
Xu Yuanyuan spoke so bluntly that Chen Qingdong couldn't help laughing, he glanced at Xu Wei who was sitting opposite, and said with a smile: "I had a very happy chat with Sister Wei today." ”
Xu Wei seemed to know Xu Yuanyuan's appearance very well, and when she heard Chen Qingdong's words, she immediately scolded: "This dead girl, what bad things did you say about me?"
Chen Qingdong joked: "No, Sister Wei, Yuan Yuan said that you are too beautiful, and I am afraid that I will be nervous in front of you, so I dare not chat with you." ”
Xu Wei didn't believe it much, snorted, and said, "This dead girl, she won't praise me like this." "But having said that, there was still a happy look on his face.
Xu Yuanyuan also smiled on the phone and said, "Then you come to Yueyanglou Hotel, my cousin knows the place, I have already booked a room, I will also set off from here, we will see you in the hotel later." I'm sorry, I'm not going to pick you up. ”
"Yuanyuan, you're so angry. Chen Qingdong said, "Then we'll go over in a while." ”
After hanging up the phone, Chen Qingdong said: "Yuan Yuan said let's go to Yueyanglou Hotel to meet." ”
"Okay. Xu Wei said.
Then Xu Wei gestured to call the waiter over and asked him for a bill to pay. Chen Qingdong paid the money first, and Xu Wei smiled slightly at Chen Qingdong's gentlemanly move.
After coming out of the hotel, Chen Qingdong took Xu Wei's red bluebird car and went straight to the Yueyanglou Hotel.
Sitting in Xu Wei's car, looking at the traffic outside the window, Chen Qingdong couldn't help but sigh, these women he knew, in addition to his prospective wife Zhang Meng, like Li Xiaolu, Xu Yuanyuan, and this Xu Wei, they are really better than the other, and each is richer than the other.
At this time, it is the point of getting off work, the road is a little crowded, although there are not too many cars, but there are many bicycles, and these cyclists are not afraid of cars at all, and they seem to be sparing their lives, but these people who drive cars can only slow down and cherish their lives for these cyclists.
Xu Wei is a very patient person, driving the car very slowly along the way, and there are very few when she goes up to forty yards, Xu Wei has never been impatient, which makes Chen Qingdong look at it, and can't help but sigh at Xu Wei's character, thinking that this is really a woman with a complicated personality.
Originally, it was not too far away, but they still drove for more than 30 minutes before they came to the Yueyanglou Hotel, which was quaint and elegantly decorated and had a bit of Hunan Yueyanglou style.
Downstairs, Xu Wei dialed Xu Yuanyuan again, and learned that Xu Yuanyuan was stuck in traffic on the road and had not yet arrived at the hotel, so the two of them were not in a hurry to go upstairs, and a tea room was opened on the first floor of the Yueyanglou Hotel, and the two of them sat in the tea room and waited for Xu Yuanyuan.
In the process of waiting for Xu Yuanyuan to come over, I don't know if Xu Wei's talk is too healthy, or if she intends to teach Chen Qingdong's cultural quality, so she discussed the topic of Yueyang Tower with Chen Qingdong.
After the waiter served them tea, Xu Wei tasted the tea and asked: "Qingdong, Yueyang Tower is known as one of the 'three famous buildings in the south of the Yangtze River', do you know what the other two famous buildings are?"
For such a topic, Chen Qingdong, who was born in the Chinese department, was not frightened, and said almost without thinking: "Yueyang Tower in Yueyang, Hunan, Yellow Crane Tower in Wuchang, Hubei, and Nanchang Tengwang Pavilion in Jiangxi have become the 'Three Famous Buildings in Jiangnan', right, Sister Wei?"
Xu Wei didn't know if it was okay, and said: "Yueyang Tower was built in the Three Kingdoms period, it is a famous building through the ages, and the literati and writers of all dynasties have left countless wonderful texts, Qingdong, which poem related to Yueyang Tower do you like the most?"
Chen Qingdong was amused when he heard it, thinking that this Xu Wei was talking to himself about coffee in the café, but now he has arrived at the Yueyanglou Hotel in the cottage and discussed poetry with himself, why does this Xu Wei like to drop the bookbag so much?
Chen Qingdong once saw such a sentence in a psychology magazine, the more a person lacks something, the more he likes to show off something.
However, this sentence does not seem to be confirmed in Xu Wei, Xu Wei is obviously a college graduate, and has drunk foreign ink, so he should not have an inferiority complex in terms of knowledge.
It seems that anything that seems to be true is not absolute!
Chen Qingdong thought about this very quickly in his heart, but he still said quickly: "There are too many famous poems related to Yueyang Tower, and my favorite is Fan Zhongyan's famous poem "The Story of Yueyang Tower". ”
Xu Wei seemed to have guessed that Chen Qingdong would say this poem, smiled slightly, and said: "Then what do you think the author wants to say in "The Story of Yueyang Tower"?"
"The Story of Yueyang Tower" was selected into the middle school textbook, and it is estimated that even a high school student with the worst learning can open his mouth to the famous sentence in "The Story of Yueyang Tower", Chen Qingdong didn't think much about it, and opened his mouth and said: "It should be the sentence 'The worries of the world first, and the joy of the world after the world'." ”
Xu Wei listened to this, but the corners of her mouth curled and she laughed.
Chen Qingdong couldn't help but be stunned when he saw Xu Wei's slightly mocking smile, and then felt as if he had thought Xu Wei's intentions too simple, so he said, "Sister Wei, don't you think that's it?"
"What you said is what you say in the textbook, and the things in the textbook are to deceive elementary school students, how can you take it seriously?" Xu Wei chuckled, her words full of rebelliousness.
Chen Qingdong quickly went through the "Story of Yueyang Tower" in his mind, this article is not too long, and the first few paragraphs are all descriptions of Yueyang Tower and the surrounding scenery, the last paragraph is lyrical and argumentative, it can also be said to show the mind, which is very in line with the way of the ancients to write the scene first and then lyrical Mingzhi, so the central sentence of this article will definitely not appear in the previous paragraph of the scene, but can only appear in the last paragraph of lyrical Mingzhi, then if Xu Wei does not agree with "the worries of the world first, and the joy of the world after the world" This sentence, then what she agrees with should be "not happy with things, not sad with yourself".
However, Chen Qingdong vaguely felt in his heart that Xu Wei didn't seem to agree with this sentence, because the meaning of these two sentences is actually not too different, so which sentence does Xu Wei agree with?
Chen Qingdong was also interested and asked, "Sister Wei, which sentence do you think is the central sentence of "The Story of Yueyang Tower"?"
"Qingdong, what I asked you is what the author wants to say most in "The Story of Yueyang Tower", not what the central sentence is. Xu Wei corrected.
Chen Qingdong frowned slightly, not understanding the meaning of Xu Wei's words, so he asked: "Sister Wei, what do you think the author wants to say most in "The Story of Yueyang Tower"?"
Xu Wei didn't answer directly, but said: "Qingdong, "The Story of Yueyang Tower" is not too long, and it is a famous chapter through the ages, can you recite it?"
Chen Qingdong briefly recalled and said: "I memorized it back then, but after so many years, I can't memorize the part of the previous scenery description. ”
"What about the first paragraph?"
"The first paragraph?"
"Yes. Just memorize the first paragraph. ”
"Then I'll give it a try. Chen Qingdong was full of doubts, but he still recalled it carefully, and recited in a low voice, "In the spring of the fourth year of Qingli, Teng Zijing guarded Baling County. The more next year, the politics are harmonious, and the waste is prosperous, but to rebuild the Yueyang Building, increase its old system, and engrave the poems of Tang Xian and the present people on it. It belongs to the composition to remember it. ”
After Chen Qingdong finished reciting, Xu Wei applauded lightly and exclaimed: "Not bad, Yuan Yuan said that you are a high-achieving student who graduated from the Chinese Department of Huai University, and it is really powerful." ”
"Sister Wei is really an award. Chen Qingdong said, but he smiled bitterly in his heart, thinking that he knew my details.
Xu Wei continued: "The sentence I want to say is in this paragraph. ”
"Oh?" Chen Qingdong was surprised, in the passage he had just recited, he really couldn't imagine that the sentence was "what the author wanted to say the most".
"In the spring of the fourth year of Qingli, Teng Zijing guarded Baling County. The more next year, the government is harmonious, and the waste is prosperous, and the Yueyang Building is rebuilt. Xu Wei said, "That's it." ”
"This one?"
"Yes. ”
Chen Qingdong originally thought that Xu Wei was funny, but when he saw her troubled appearance, he tasted this sentence carefully in his heart, as if he had thought of something, and couldn't help but glance at Xu Wei and said, "Sister Wei, I would like to hear it in detail." ”
"Hehe, it's actually very simple, just translate the meaning of this sentence simply. Xu Wei said, "In the spring of the fourth year of Qingli, Teng Zijing was demoted to Yuezhou as a taishou. In the second year, the political affairs were smooth, the people were happy, and many long-abandoned undertakings were re-established, and Yueyang Tower was rebuilt. ”
After listening to Xu Wei's translation, Chen Qingdong seemed to understand what Xu Wei was going to say, and said with a smile: "Sister Wei, your idea is really different!"
Xu Wei raised her eyebrows and asked, "Do you know what I want to say?"
Chen Qingdong nodded and said, "I probably understand." ”
"Hehe, you really have some understanding. Xu Wei praised, "Then tell me simply, what do I mean by that?"
Chen Qingdong said: "The meaning of this paragraph is actually a praise for Teng Zijing, he was a demoted official, came to Yuezhou to be a taishou, and it only took a year to make a huge change in Yuezhou. ”
