Chapter 43: Heart-to-heart
This is really, "intentionally planting flowers and flowers do not bloom, and unintentionally planting willows and willows into the shade"!
I walked over to him and took a closer look at his face. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info That's right, this is Lan Sheng.
He looked at Qingshui River intently and lonely, as if he didn't notice me.
I quickly straightened my clothes, then raised my hand and waved.
But he still didn't react.
I had no choice but to cough and say, "Brother Lan? β
Only then did he turn his face, his expression was sneering, and he immediately pulled out a smile and said, "It turned out to be Brother Tai." He added: "I didn't expect to meet my brother here." β
"It's called 'meeting thousands of miles away'." I hehe.
He said: "It was rude to walk in a hurry that day. I wonder when Brother Tai and Venerable Master arrived? β
I threw away the peach pit in my hand and said, "I arrived four days ago." Brother Lan should have been here a long time ago. β
"It's not very early, it's just three days before my brother." He said.
I brought it up again and said, "Brother Lan didn't answer my question last time, I don't know if you remember?" β
He smiled awkwardly, but said to me, "I haven't asked my brother Taizun's surname yet." β
I was stunned for a moment, and said with a smile: "Under the surname Zhu, the name is Yingtai, but Brother Tai is my Brother Liang?" β
He replied: "Under the surname Lan, the name Sheng, the 'Sheng' of 'Sheng Xiao', the word 'Mo Li'. After a pause, he said: "I remember that I told Brother Tai last time, but I think Brother Tai forgot it." β
I was confused by his serious answer, and after a pause, I asked him, "Don't you know the story of Zhu Yingtai and Liang Shanbo?" β
"I've heard a little." He said.
It seemed that he really thought I was a man, and he didn't doubt my answer like that.
Come to think of it, my husband was very stupid when he was young.
After being silent for a while, I smiled heartily and said, "Actually, Fang is laughing at the bottom, and the surname is Zhu." β
"Oh." He laughed, too, but reluctantly.
I said again: "At the age of twenty-seven, how young is Brother Lan?" It's easy to call it in the future. β
"It's a year old." He said that, and continued to look at the river.
I leaned on the berm and accosted: "Seeing that Brother Lan is depressed, it seems that he has something on his mind, is it convenient to say?" Although the foolish brother is not talented, he is willing to share a share of his worries for Brother Lan. β
He sighed lightly and said, "It's not a big deal, but I'm worried." Lan Sheng was ashamed in front of others. β
I said, "Even saints have times of sorrow, let alone us juniors. In life, there will inevitably be thoughts, and if you have thoughts, you will have some worries, why should Brother Lan be ashamed of this? β
He was silent and said: "If you are worried about the country and the people, it will naturally be admirable, but what Lan Sheng thinks is just his own selfishness." β
I said: "It's a private thought, it's nothing more than something to do with wealth and fame, birth, old age, sickness and death, love and hate," paused, and then speculated: "Seeing that Brother Lan is in his prime, isn't it worrying about fame and ambition?" β
He smiled lightly, put his hand on the berm, and said, "The virtuous brother is a heartfelt person, and Lan Sheng is depressed because of this." After sighing lightly, he said, "It's only Lan Sheng's talent." β
I comforted him and said, "Since Brother Lan is Mr. Ye's protΓ©gΓ©, he is valued by Mr. Ye, so he is naturally a person with real talent and learning. It's just that Brother Lan must also know that there are nine times out of ten that those who are not worthy of fame, and how many sages from the past and present have been smooth sailing? β
He looked at me and said, "I don't dare to be a real talent." The truth that the virtuous brother just said, Lan Sheng also understands. It is precisely because I understand that I am lost. After a pause, he said: "Lan Sheng has been taught by his mother since he was a child, and his mother has always had great expectations for me, but today's results are really not ideal, and Lan Sheng feels that he has failed his mother's painstaking cultivation. β
I think that not being able to get a good ranking in the imperial examination is only one of the reasons for Lan Sheng's depression, and on the other hand, it is because of the guilt of his mother.
After thinking about it, I said: "The foolish brother thinks that the greatest wish of being a parent is that his children and grandchildren can be safe and healthy, rich and famous, and so on, but it is secondary. If Brother Lan has been obsessed with this, wouldn't he have fulfilled his mother's wish? β
He didn't speak. I continued: "Brother Lan is in his prime, why don't you have a chance to show your strength in the future?" And fame is not the whole of life, Brother Lan can see it. β
His slender fingers were clasped on the berm, his index finger lightly tapped on the railing, and after a while, he suddenly raised his hand and saluted me, saying, "Listen to your words and relieve me of half of my worries." Thank you very much. β
Seeing his polite behavior, I hurriedly waved my hand and said, "Brother Lan is really polite, how can I have that kind of ability?" If the heart is not transparent, even if others say more, it is useless, Brother Lan is because his heart is transparent. β
He looked at me with a smile and said, "Talking to Brother Xian like this, my heart is indeed much happier. Then a trace of embarrassment appeared on his face, and he said: "I'm not afraid of the jokes of the virtuous brother when I say it, the foolish brother has been worried about this matter since March this year, but it is difficult to confide in the people around him. β
I was also happy in my heart, and said: "Just a few words, it is also a blessing to be able to relieve Brother Lan's worries." β
After chatting for a moment by the embankment, the hour was getting late. The sun is setting in the west, and the red sun is gilded with willows. So we parted ways and went back to our own yards.
As soon as he stepped into the courtyard, Zhao Yuan blocked the entrance of the courtyard and said, "Where did you go?" Chen is here. β
I wondered, "Come here, come here, what does it have to do with me?" β
He lowered his voice and said, "The person who watched the peach forest was sued for stealing the peach, and the man personally came to the door and told Chen Zhangshi that the scholars of our academy went to the peach forest to steal the peach." β
I was startled at first, and then defended: "We, we didn't steal peaches." β
He stroked his forehead and said, "He said we stole it." We, we did take it. β
"What then?" I asked.
He breathed a sigh of relief and said, "But that man didn't see what we looked like and didn't know our names, so he came to warn the students of our entire academy." Chen Zhangshi's face was very ugly, and he felt that the students of the academy had lost the face of the entire academy by doing such a thing, and made outsiders laugh. β
I sneered, "It's a shame indeed. β
He said, "If your master asks about you, what will you say?" β
I said helplessly, "How do I know how to say it?" I'll say whatever I ask. β
As soon as the words fell, the master appeared at the door of the room and said, "Ah Zhu, come to my room for a while, and have something to say to you for the teacher." β
Zhao Yuan looked at me with a look of pity and said, "Go ahead, good luck." β
My heart was pounding like a drum, and I suddenly realized how afraid I was of making a mistake in front of Master. Master has always been strict with self-cultivation and self-discipline, and he must be very disgusted with such things.
But things have come to this point, and I have to face it.
