Chapter 15 The Death of the Body Is Over

Although Steward Yun's matter is full of suspicions, she must repay his kindness, and he will teach himself to be able to do it, as far as it is true for now, in order to better protect Yun Bai and herself, she needs to become stronger, so he must listen to Steward Yun at the moment. Pen Γ— fun Γ— Pavilion www. biquge。 info Regarding the matter of learning the seal, Zheng Wan knew that Mo Wanghuan would not teach herself, and she had to consult Yun Sleeve, if she wanted to explore the writing of the seal by herself, a month would definitely not be enough.

The next day, Zheng Guan went to find Yun Sleeve, and saw that his face was pale, but he was very energetic, and he thought that his body was fine. She explained her intentions, and the handsome young man was still sitting in yesterday's position, only smiling faintly and saying, "Okay." ”

Yun sleeve is not very old, but the ancient and modern, he first talked about the classification of words, the evolution of the text is generally from the oracle bone inscription, the big seal, the small seal, the official script, the cursive script, the regular script, the line of the book, the first three are hieroglyphs, especially the oracle bone as the weight, the size of the seal has a basic text skeleton. Lishu used stroke symbols to destroy the knots of the pictographs, becoming non-pictographic, and then the font is only the writing style of the text, which can be debated without learning. Although there are some characters that preceded the oracle bone inscriptions, although they are simple and difficult to decipher today, they are crucial to the rise of writing, because of their writing structure and oracle bone inscriptions, which can be collectively referred to as the Six Scripts. The seal is the origin of the era of the twelve kingdoms, when the countries were chaotic, most of the seals used were different, and then the He Dynasty unified the world, but also unified the text, set the family short, the party into the law, the shape of the decent seal, in the He Dynasty ruled the three thousand years of the big seal slowly evolved into a small seal, after the He Dynasty is the current Qin Dynasty, at the beginning of the country, the Qin Emperor because of the complex seal strokes, the form is ancient, and can be added at will twists and turns, then the great simplification of the text, and gradually have a rigorous structure, strokes, evolved into the official script, cursive, regular script, line of calligraphy. The big seal was basically used in the early period of the He Dynasty, while the small seal was used in the middle and late period of the He Dynasty and the early Qin Dynasty. The small seal is changed and simplified from the big seal, and the strokes in the shape have been simplified.

Roughly talking about the evolution of the text, Yun Sleeve finally asked: "The big seal and the small seal can actually be pushed together, I don't know which one you want to learn first?" ”

Zheng Guan was suspicious, she didn't know what kind of seal was written by the cloud housekeeper, the small seal is evolved from the big seal, it must be more perfect than the big seal, the cloud sleeve is also known as the two fonts can be pushed together, thinking of this, she knew the answer, and said: "Let's learn the small seal first." ”

Yun Sleeve listened to the words and picked up the pen, and was about to write down something.

Zheng Wan remembered his handsome and calm handwriting, and said, "Your handwriting is so beautiful, when will I be able to write like you?" How long have you been practicing? ”

Yun Sleeve held the pen in his hand, but did not move a bit, he turned his head, smiled faintly, calmly and quietly, elegant and dusty, and reminded Zheng Guan of the sentence: "There are bandit gentlemen, such as cutting, such as grinding", and then asked: "Is there a poem that says: There are bandit gentlemen, such as cutting, such as grinding?" ”

Although the cloud sleeve is not shocking, but the demeanor is extraordinary, humble and arrogant, at this moment he bowed his head and waved, the pen of the seal words came out continuously, he wrote while saying: "Words out of the Book of Songs, Wei Feng, Qi Ao." ”

When Zheng Wan heard it, the word Ao had two sounds, and the wooden sign at the entrance of the green bamboo garden wrote that she originally thought that "Qi Ao Γ o" turned out to be what he now called "Qi Ao yΓΉ", and was thinking about it, and heard Yun Sleeve chant in his ear: "Zhan Bi Qi Ao, green bamboo is rampant." There are bandit gentlemen, such as cutting and learning, such as grinding. Embarrassed, embarrassed, there are bandits and gentlemen, and they can't be embarrassed! Zhan Bi Qiao, green bamboo. There are bandit gentlemen, full of ears and ears, and will be like stars. Embarrassed, embarrassed, there are bandits and gentlemen, and they can't be embarrassed! Zhan Bi Qiao, green bamboo like a basket. There are bandit gentlemen, such as gold and tin, and gui and bi. Generous, heavy, good at bantering, not for abuse! ”

Zheng Guan raised to see the green bamboo behind him, in this cold winter does not reduce its true color, plum makes people tall, orchid makes people quiet, chrysanthemum makes people wild, bamboo makes people rhyme, and cloud sleeves give people exactly this kind of charm. She smiled lightly and looked back at the cloud sleeves that were calmly waving, wasn't that the young man, the Yiyi bamboo boy.

After he finished writing the poem, he explained to Zheng Guan the process of the evolution of the seal into today's simplified style, he spoke clearly, the focus was significant, and the explanation was the first to go, I am afraid that even the master in the school could not compare with him, which made her suddenly remember what he once said, "There is nothing to do on weekdays, but only books are studied", and the bitterness in this is probably no one can compare.

When Zheng Wan thought of this, his face showed some solemnity with a hint of sympathy, but Yun Sleeve stopped explaining at the moment, walked to the recliner on the side, picked up the "Governing Policy" on the side, and said: "There is the golden house in the book." ”

This seemed to be a response to what she was thinking, saying that he took pleasure in books, but Zheng Wan still found a trace of loneliness in his somewhat empty gaze staring at the book, that was a proud young man, and he would never be known about the sadness in his heart.

He sat back on the recliner alone, as if he was dissatisfied with Zheng Guan's desertion halfway, Zheng Guanzheng felt a little embarrassed, and suddenly her stomach growled, and she reluctantly pulled a smile to look at him.

He lifted up his finger to the sky, but he did not speak.

Zheng Guan saw that the sun was empty, maybe he stopped because it was time for lunch. When she went back, she was waiting for her with the meal cooked by Liu's mother, but she didn't know how his meal was solved, so she asked, "What about you?" ”

He focused on the book, didn't look up, and replied, "Do it yourself." ”

Subsequently, Zheng Guan got up to say goodbye and returned to the Agarwood Garden.

After entering the garden, she heard Yunbai's crying, her heart sank suddenly, and she hurriedly ran into the house, and saw Liu's mother sitting on the eaves of the bed, hugging Yunbai, no matter how coaxed she couldn't stop crying.

Zheng Wan approached, first took Yun Bai, and then caught a glimpse of a dark color on Liu's mother's knees, Zheng Guan was sensitive to blood, smelled blood, she frowned slightly, and said with concern: "Mother Liu, what's wrong with your leg?" ”

Mother Liu's face turned a little pale, and said, "I cooked after I put the little master to sleep, and when I heard the little master's cry in the kitchen, I hurriedly ran over and fell." ”

"How do you feel now, can you move your legs?"

Liu's mother said: "It's okay, just scratch some skin", just as she was talking, she wanted to stand up, but as soon as her butt was moved, she fell to the bed, and cold sweat broke out on her forehead.

Zheng Wan handed Yunbai into the hands of Liu's mother and said, "I'll call Dr. Qian." ”

Liu's mother still said: "No, just rest." Before the words were finished, Zheng Wan had already left the room.

After Dr. Qian came to see Liu's mother's leg injury, although it was not serious, it hurt the bone, and she had to lie in bed for at least half a month.

Mother Liu struggled to get up, and said that she was fine, but she was pushed back by Zheng Guan, so she hung her head in discouragement, and said in a low voice: "Guan'er, I'm sorry, I still want you to take care of me." ”

Zheng Wan glared at her, put Yunbai in her hand, and comforted her in a good voice: "I will only take care of you for a few days, you will have to take care of our sister and brother for a long time." ”

When Mother Liu heard this, the guilt on her face was slightly better, and Zheng Wan said again: "The meal is not okay yet, I'll do it." ”

When Mother Liu heard this, she immediately became anxious and said, "Oh no, I didn't extinguish the fire in the stove when I came out, I don't know ......."

"Don't worry, there is a smell of burnt outside, and it is estimated that the fire has gone out by itself."

"Guan'er, I'm really sorry, I only cooked, the dishes haven't been cooked yet, and it is estimated that there is no food in the big kitchen......"

"I can do it myself, I used to help my mother at home, and I will do a little."

Zheng Guan came to the kitchen, and the fire in the stove was only red, and there was no arrogance, and some dry branches and broken leaves were added again, and the small flames burst out. The dishes on the stove have been washed and cut, and Liu's mother has almost prepared them, just about to put them in the pot. Zheng Guan used to help her mother do the work, and it was not very difficult for her to eat the vegetables when they were cooked, but I don't know what the taste would be.

I finally came out with two dishes, only one green vegetable and one radish, and I tasted it myself, and it was not bad. So he ate some by himself first, and then went to Liu's mother's room, took Yunbai, and freed up Liu's mother to eat.

Liu's mother also praised Zheng Guan a few times while eating. After Liu's mother finished eating, Zheng Wan went to clean up the kitchen, and when he came back, it was not very early to see that it was dark, so he was ready to go to Luzhu Garden. But Yunbai kept crying at Liu's mother's place, and Zheng Wan stopped crying as soon as he took it.

Mother Liu sighed and said, "The little young master will recognize people?" Then he glanced at Zheng Guan again, and said tentatively: "Guan'er, can you not go to Yunchong?" ”

Zheng Guan had earlier told Liu's mother that she would learn words from Yunsleeve this month, although Liu's mother didn't say anything, she was still a little worried about the rumors of Yunsleeve's Nak people. Zheng Wan knew that Mother Liu was worried about herself, and she didn't pay attention to his stubborn thoughts, so she only said: "Mother Liu, I don't care what outsiders think, Young Master Yunsleeve is an upright person." ”

Although Mother Liu did not include Zheng Guan in the scope of Miss in her heart, she was usually quite respectful to her, and seeing Zheng Guan's insistence at this moment, there was nothing to say.

After Zheng Wan put Yunbai to sleep, he handed him over to Liu's mother and went to the Green Bamboo Garden.

When I arrived at the Green Bamboo Garden, Yun Sleeve was already in the house, sitting at the table, still holding the "Governing the Country" in one hand, a pot of tofu and a bowl of rice on the table. The rice ball in the bowl looks hard and hard, and there is no heat at all with the dish, I don't know how long this cloud sleeve has been eating.

Zheng Wan walked into the house, the sunlight entering the house dimmed, Yun Sleeve noticed that someone came in, raised his eyes and smiled, and said, "You wait a minute." ”

Zheng Wan smiled: "You eat slowly, I'm not in a hurry." ”

Yun Sleeve quickly took a few bites of rice, but his eyes were still staring at the book, Zheng Guan noticed his brows wrinkling unconsciously, and then glanced at the rice that looked a little hard, and then put down the chopsticks, put away the dishes and chopsticks, and said to Zheng Guan: "I went to put the dishes and chopsticks." ”

The kitchenette of Green Bamboo Garden is in a separate cottage next to the main house. After Yun Sleeve came out of the small kitchen, he said as he walked: "There is a calligraphy in this seal style, I'll go in and find it." ”

Zheng Wan walked to the house, the breeze blew, and there was a faint warmth in the winter afternoon, she looked at the door of the small kitchen that was open, and suddenly she was a little curious, so she walked over, but the scene inside surprised her, it was a mess inside, the bowl seemed to have not been washed several times, the bowl that was brought in by the cloud sleeve was placed on the stove, she walked to the stove, but did not feel half a point of heat, and looked into the stove, it was black, and there was no temperature, there were some tofu in the pot, and the small jar by the stove still contained some rice, which looked cold and hard. It turned out that he didn't cook, and he thought that he was eating leftover cold dishes from the previous days today, no wonder he frowned, eating like this, and no wonder he was emaciated like that.

Seeing all this, Zheng Wan was not only surprised but also surprised, a person who looked elegant would have such an opposite side, after all, he was a person living in the world, she sighed in her heart, and then thought of his frowning expression just now, thinking that he must not have eaten enough, so he went to make hot dishes. She began to clean up the kitchen again, and when the tofu in the stove bubbled hot, she turned to serve it, but found Yun Sleeve standing at the door, looking at him lightly.

When Zheng Wan saw him, she didn't know what to say, she peeked through the secret of a humble gentleman, and felt embarrassed inexplicably, but the other party was smiling as before, she quickly found a way for herself: "Brother Yun taught me to read, Zheng Wan can't repay it, I hope to help Brother Yun do something." ”

Cloud Sleeves walked in and said, "Okay." Then Dan sat down on the stool that Zheng Wan had wiped and looked at the steaming stove.

The corners of Zheng Guan's mouth twitched, feeling that he was so calm, and he seemed to have done something bad, he couldn't help muttering a few words to himself, and what did he mean by sitting there? He smiled at her, as if to say: You said you were going to do something, and now that you're helping with the cooking, then bring the meal to you.

Zheng Wan retreated from the crankiness in his heart, took out the tofu in the pot, put it aside, and put it upside down. Then put the hard and cold rice pieces in the pot, add water, and make a soaked rice. After a while, the pot of rice was also hot, and she put it in a large wooden bowl and put it on the table.

Yun Sleeve picked up the chopsticks on the side and ate it. Although it is eaten with relish, it is extremely gentle. Zheng Guan saw it in her eyes, she only had no idea at all, and quietly walked out of the room.

After a while, Yun Sleeve was full, and he went out, and saw the little girl sitting in the shade of the tree, looking seriously at the notebook she had placed on the table.

Cloud Sleeves lay down on the chaise longue, half-closed eyes, and swayed slightly. The squeaky sound dispersed rhythmically, but it did not affect the tranquility.

"What are the special rituals of a person after death?" Zheng Wan raised his head and asked out loud, his voice dull.

The squeak stopped, the lying boy stood up, his back straightened, walked to the table, first studied the ink and then picked up the pen, wrote a paragraph of the seal, and said: "The words in this are all in the stickers, and they are translated." ”

Zheng Guan looked at the sticker in his hand, which was a comparison of simplified characters and seal scripts, but it was a little difficult to get these words out early. Because the seal body is curved and the shape is picturesque, it is really to be recognized. She thought about what Yun Sleeve said in the morning, and began to look for it, at the beginning it was a little difficult, often from the top to the end of the failure to find, gradually found out some questions, and had a deeper understanding of what Yun Sleeve said in the morning, and so flipping through the copy, but familiar with the seal a lot, looking at the crooked strokes, really see a little cute.

After Yun Sleeve finished writing, he sat back on the recliner and went to read by himself.

It wasn't until the sun was setting in the west that Zheng Guan completed the translation event, but he saw that Yun Sleeve wrote something like this: "Zhuangzi's wife died, Huizi hung him, and Zhuangzi sang with a drum." Huizi said: "Living with people, the eldest son is old, it is enough to die without crying, and singing with a drum is not enough!" Zhuangzi said, "No." It is the beginning and the death, how can I be without generality! Observe its beginning and have no life, not in vain and formless, and not in vain and formless. Mixed between the mang, change and gas, gas change and form, change and life, now and change and die, is the phase and for the spring, autumn, winter and summer four seasons also. People slept in the huge room, and I cried with it, thinking that I couldn't get through my life, so I stopped. ””

She was a little puzzled, and his voice came at the right time: "Zhuangzi is an ancient sage, and this is a piece of "Zhile". ”

Zheng Wan looked up at him, he was talking, but his eyes were still staring at the book, which meant that she could understand it, but she was not a sage, how could she treat life and death as four seasons. Previously, she asked Yun Sleeve so much, because she remembered that tomorrow was the seventh day after her mother went, and she didn't understand the funeral customs, but Yun Sleeve could persuade her with this, which not only achieved the purpose of comfort but also promoted learning, which really had a thought, which made her slightly moved.

She sighed lightly, her heart seemed to stretch a little, and asked, "Do you believe in reincarnation?" ”

Yun Sleeve raised his eyes to meet the dark but slightly sad gaze, and he sighed, "Faith." ”

"And what do you want to do in your next life?"

"I didn't think ...... it"

"I want to be a man. Maybe then I can better protect my loved ones. In the end, she said this with sorrow. In Zheng Guan's heart, she once thought that if she was a man, then maybe she and her mother would not have been kicked out by her uncle, although she didn't know why, she understood that there would be many unfair things in this world, and there were many times when men were more noble than women. She remembered the bright lights of the Red Mansion on the street every night, once in the afternoon, she happened to pass by with her mother, and heard the woman leaning on the window sighing, "The life of people in the troubled world is like grass mustard, and the roots are inexhaustible after the wind and fire, but the peach blossoms are not as good as the grass, but there are no roots!" She didn't understand why her mother was covering her eyes, but she smelled the disgusting smell of blood, and the muffled sound, and then she remembered that the bowls that she had broken were all shattered to the ground, and the woman must have been broken like a bowl, especially her heart. From then on, she knew that the Red Chamber was not a good place to go, but for some reason only men went in, why didn't those women come out, and why did the women who smiled like flowers in the face of men cry sadly when they are silent? But in the end, she understood that if the woman was a man, at least she didn't have to sigh that the peach blossoms were not as good as grass, and that the woman's life was even less valuable in troubled times.

Thinking of this, Zheng Guan couldn't help but sigh again, "What do people have after they die?" ”

Yun Sleeve's eyes were slightly dark, and he said, "Since you are dead, this life is over, how much can you have left?" If you believe in reincarnation, you will enter reincarnation. Too much worry, only tired myself. ”

His tone was light, as if he had seen through the red dust, but Zheng Wan heard his semantic restriction, comforting her, but also comforting himself, she blurted out and asked, "If it's you, can you put it down?" ”

He didn't answer for a long time, and then he muttered to himself, "I can't put it down." ”

Zheng Guan looked at him fixedly, at this moment, he was not like a teenager of eleven or twelve, but like a dying old man who had gone through a hundred years of vicissitudes, secretly remembering the sunset.

Seeing that it was getting late, Yun Sleeve was in a trance again, and Zheng Wan left by himself. When I went back to the Green Bamboo Garden, I heard Yunbai crying again, and when I entered Liu's mother's room, I saw that Liu's mother was sitting on the bed, shaking and coaxing, and when I saw Zheng Guan, Liu's mother said: "The little young master has been crying since he woke up in the afternoon, and he can't stop." ”

Zheng Wan took it and hugged him around the house a few times, and Yun Bai quieted down, looking at Zheng Wan with two small eyes.

Mother Liu sighed: "The little master likes you, and I can't leave you for a moment." ”

Zheng Wan smiled slightly, feeling very satisfied in her heart, and the Yunbai by her side made her feel that she had a purpose in living in the world. "Little Baiyun, be obedient, my sister will get you something to eat." She whispered to Yun Bai.

then sent Yunbai to Liu's mother, maybe he understood his sister's words, and at this moment, he didn't cry anymore.

Zheng Guan entered the kitchen and first made Yunbai's food, without milk feeding, he could only make rice cereal, add some stone honey, and put it in a warm dish, and the amount of food he made at a time could be eaten for a day, but it could only be kept warm for half a day. After preparing Yunbai's food, he made his own and Liu's mother's meals. After the meal, he began to fry his own medicine and the medicine that Yunbai was going to use.

After packing up everything, Zheng Wan hugged Yunbai and walked out of Liu's mother's door, vaguely hearing that Liu's mother was sighing, as if she was saying something alone: "The sixth year of the first month...... At...... Sensible...... Okay" or something.

Zheng Guan's nose was sour, although she didn't hear it clearly, but she knew the meaning of Liu's mother's words, she was saying that her mother had passed away for six days, that she was a sensible child, and that it would be nice if her mother was still there. She understands everything, but she can only not listen, Yun Sleeve is right, her mother's life has come to an end, although she can't sing with a bang, but she won't be obsessed with pain, because she has a lot of things to do, and she has no time to pursue the irretrievable past. It's like knowing that after her mother's death, there should be many funeral customs to do, but she doesn't understand, and she doesn't want to ask openly, because even if she knows everything, she doesn't want to do it and can't do it, no matter how much she does, it can't be undone. She only thought that this was the last time she was a young child, and she had not yet been locked into the shackles of the world in time, so as to find an excuse for her indecent behavior.

She looked up at the moonless sky and sighed, "Mother, Guan'er is not going to worship you, because you have always been in my heart." ”
