The next day, the spring rain was dripping.

When I came to Hengshan Academy at the beginning of the month, I didn't see Li Maoran. It wasn't until before class that he rushed over, and his leg injury was not healed, and he walked a little funny, so he thought it was interesting at the beginning of the month and took a second look.

As soon as Li Maoran sat down, he looked towards the place where the moon was shining, just opposite the gaze cast by the early moon. Somehow, at the beginning of the month, I felt something strange, so I hurriedly turned my head away and pretended to look at the rain outside the window.

Not long after he sat down, Qiu Fuzi came, also holding a scroll of paintings in his hand. After a few passages, she asked everyone to put the painting on the bookcase, and the beginning of the month breathed a sigh of relief, fortunately she was not lazy the day before, and returned to the room and began to paint. Until the painting is finished, it is almost the time of the child.

Everyone took out the painting, and Qiu Fuzi glanced at it and said, "Li Maoran." The latter did as he was told, presented the painting, and unfolded it to take a look. The painting shows a woman in white reading a book on a grassy slope by the lake. At the beginning of the month, his face suddenly flushed, and he drew himself. Although she was wearing a light blue skirt the day before yesterday, she was somehow sure that Li Maoran painted her.

Fortunately, his painting skills are not good, and he rarely wears a white dress since the beginning of the month, and everyone does not think about the beginning of the month. "Li Maoran, which girl did you peek at?" Someone in the class joked, "If you draw it like this, I'm afraid that the girl will find out and beat you." Hahaha. “

Someone laughed again: "Li Maoran, you openly painted a woman, but Sichun?" “

At the beginning of the month, he secretly glanced at Li Maoran, he just sat and didn't speak. Qiu Fuzi said: "The so-called painting can peep into the mind does not refer to the things being painted, but refers to the layout and brushstrokes of the painter when painting, which can be seen in his state of mind when painting, and the style of the painting can also show the person's temperament." As he spoke, Qiu Fuzi glanced at the painting again and said, "Mao Ran's painting skills are not good, but I can see that I also put my heart into it." “

"Master, what do you think?" A student asked.

Qiu Fuzi nodded, and said carefully: "This painting is sluggish, and when I want to paint, I should be in a complicated mood, and the layout is intentionally modeled after the paintings of Qu Yanzhi of the previous dynasty, and I have the intention to leave blank, which should be to set off the independence of the woman in the painting." However, this wind is frenzied, and there are many wrong strokes, and it seems that the temperament of the painter may be a little reckless and rebellious. “

After a passage, everyone was a little silent, and they didn't know how they were feeling when they were painting, but the master said that Li Maoran's temperament was indeed accurate.

"Can the master tell me more about Xu Yue's?" I don't know who mentioned it, but it really satisfied many people, and as soon as these words came out, everyone's eyes swept towards the beginning of the month.

At the beginning of the month, he knew that he couldn't hide either, so he obediently handed over the painting to the master. When you open it, it is a noisy picture of a temple fair. In the painting, there is a noisy market, and on the right side of the painting, there is a faint pink apricot, which is full of spring. Compared with the dripping rain outside, looking at this painting has to make people feel good.

"That's what it's called painting!" Someone shouted.

Qiu Fuzi nodded and said, "The beginning of the month is indeed a good painting. “

The brushstrokes of the paintings are delicate, slightly freehand, colorful, and the characters are vivid. "Can I go to the Shaogong temple fair the day before the beginning of the month?" Qiu Fuzi asked.

"Exactly." At the beginning of the month, he didn't dare to hide it, and replied truthfully.

"The day before yesterday, the Shaogong temple fair, the academy did not have a holiday, it was a pity that I couldn't see this year's grand occasion, but I didn't expect to see the paintings at the beginning of the month to be gratifying." Master Qiu laughed.

"Yuxiu Academy actually has a holiday?" As soon as he heard what the master said, all the academicians beat their chests one after another, saying that they were not women and failed to study in Yuxiu Academy.

"Master, can you start talking about painting?" Li Maoran on the side spoke, but his face was not good-looking. "What Mao Ran said is, let's look at the paintings." Qiu Fuzi said.

"At the beginning of the month, this work was written smoothly and in one go. The strokes are delicate and silky. When you paint, you should be in a good mood. As soon as Master Qiu finished speaking, a resident shouted: "That's nature, can you not be happy when you visit the temple fair?" The crowd burst into laughter.

Qiu Fuzi glared at the student and continued: "Although the painting style seems to be meticulous, it is uninhibited, haha, it is really like your words. As soon as these words came out, the students in the House of Representatives were a little confused, and they didn't know why the master commented like this.

Seeing that everyone was at a loss, Qiu Fuzi explained: "You don't know, the father of the beginning of the month was originally the head of Hudong Academy, she grew up in the academy since she was a child, and she studied and learned characters with the students. "Chengzhou Shangwen, when everyone heard it, they looked at her with a little more respect in their eyes, no wonder the master could let a woman come to the academy to audit, it turned out to be the daughter of the head of the academy.

"But because you have studied with boys since you were a child, although your father intended to raise you gentle, in the end you are still tainted with some manliness." Qiu Fuzi finally commented.

"Master, Master. What you said is not right, why didn't I see that Xu Yue was a man? As soon as a student opened his mouth, someone followed suit. As she spoke, she couldn't help but glance at the beginning of the month, and saw that she was gentle and gentle, and she couldn't see that she was manly.

The master shook his head and said: "There are many sides to the world, everything needs to be carefully looked at and seen more before it can be judged. The nature of the mind may not be able to be seen clearly on weekdays; In addition, there are many kinds of masculinity, such as resoluteness, arrogance, or boldness, which can only be manifested if it is a matter of time in the future. Now that everything is going well, how can you see it? “

Everyone was surrounded by the master, and they no longer opened their mouths to refute anything, but they didn't expect the old gentleman to fall into thinking again. "But whether it can appear or not also depends on the karma and creation, some people have a smooth life, and the only thing about their heart is not impossible......" Qiu Fuzi said to himself.

"Master?" At this time, someone shouted, Qiu Fuzi came back to his senses, and after commenting on the paintings of several people, Qiu Fuzi smiled mysteriously and said, "Today, I also brought a painting." You guys take a look at it too. As he spoke, he unfolded and hung up the painting he had just brought.

It is a picture of sunrise in the mountains.

As soon as the paintings came out, they were all amazing.

The painting is painted with only ink color, the brushstrokes are wanton, and the layout is unique and bold. And I don't know why I look at it, I have a strange beauty.

Looking at the expressions of the sentient beings, Master Qiu said with a smile: "This is the work of my proud disciple, so let's talk about the nature of the person who paints it?" “

"This painting has a unique style and bold brushstrokes. The author of this painting should be a proud man" Someone said, Qiu Fuzi nodded and said, "That's right, is there anything else?" “

"Master, the person who painted this painting should be a person with lofty ambitions but a depressed situation, right?" The moon on the side spoke.

Qiu Fuzi raised his eyebrows and said, "Why did you say this at the beginning of the month? “

"In the woods in the painting, birds and beasts gather, except for a lone eagle flying towards the sunrise. Is it the self-metaphor of the person who painted? "Said at the beginning of the month." It's just that the birds and beasts face the left, and the eagle is the only one who flies to the right, which not only represents that he has great ambitions, but also means that he is not tolerated by the world. “

"That's right at the beginning of the month, it's true." Qiu Fuzi praised. "It's a pity that they are tall and arrogant, and such people are often easy to be suppressed."

"Master, where is the man who painted now? What's the situation? After hearing this, the students couldn't help but be a little curious.

Hearing the student ask, Master Qiu's eyes suddenly darkened, and his face was a little stern: "I don't know." Then he put away the paintings, put them aside and stopped talking about paintings, and instead ordered the students to begin to meditate. The students didn't know why, and they didn't dare to ask more.

At the beginning of the month, I looked at the rolled up painting and thought for myself. Suddenly, I saw a small word "Shu" written on one side of the scroll. I was stunned, could it be that this painting was painted by Xu Shu? The master said that this painting was painted by his proud disciple, and he was very proud when he heard the master talk about his father and Xu Shu that day.

After class, Qiu Fuzi was about to leave, but he heard someone calling him behind him, and when he looked back, it was the beginning of the month.

"What is the girl looking for me?" Qiu Fuzi asked. At the beginning of the month, he said respectfully: "Master, the person who painted is my father's old friend - Xu Shu?" “

Qiu Fuzi was stunned for a moment and sighed: "Ziyu's child is also smart, it is indeed him, what are you asking about?" “

Yue Yue smiled and said, "The master has a painting of his father's old friend, and I think there must be a painting of my father at the beginning of the month, I don't know what my father painted back then?" Curious at the beginning of the month? “

"If that's the case, then come with me." Qiu Fuzi smiled after hearing this.

Different from Yuxiu Academy, because of the spaciousness, the masters and gentlemen of Hengshan Academy have their own study rooms. At the beginning of next month, he followed Qiu Fuzi to his study.

Qiu Fuzi searched and searched in several painting jars before taking out a scroll of paintings. "Well, this is your father's painting." As he spoke, he unfolded the scroll, and when he came up at the beginning of the month, he saw that it was a pavilion with a woman sitting in the pavilion.

"This ...... Is it my mother? "I was stunned at the beginning of the month, but I didn't expect my father to paint a portrait of my mother.

Qiu Fuzi nodded, "Yes." “

Stroking the painting, the beginning of the month suddenly felt that his eyes were a little moist. In the painting, the woman is admiring the flowers, the corners of her mouth are slightly raised, her eyes are smiling, and the painting is lifelike, which shows that the person who painted must be very meticulous. It seems that my father loves my mother very much, I thought to my heart.

"Take it if you like." When Qiu Fuzi saw her look at it again and again, he thought that he loved it very much, so he said, "This painting is useless to me." “

As soon as he heard it at the beginning of the month, Xinxi immediately thanked him, put away the scroll, and then looked at the scroll on the side and said: "Master, the **** packed up his things and found a piece of jade pendant, which seems to have been left by Xu Shu, after all, it is also a lot of money, I think I should return it to him...... I wonder if the Master knows where he is now? “

Qiu Fuzi frowned: "Jade pendant? “

The beginning of the month nodded, "Yes, it's a jade pendant." “

But seeing that Qiu Fuzi pondered for a moment and said: "Zishu's family is poor, if that jade pendant is really his, it must be a thing of great significance, but unfortunately I really don't know where he is now." “

"Does the Master know why he left? Are there any other acquaintances? I can ask someone more. At the beginning of the month, he hurriedly said, for fear that it would be a little late, and the master would not say anything.

Qiu Fuzi glanced at the beginning of the month, and was silent for a long time before he said slowly: "Well, this matter is indeed not a secret...... and then narrated the events at that time.

At that time, Xu Shu and Xu Yu studied in Hengshan Academy together, Xu's father died early, and he had a seriously ill mother. On weekdays, he can only rely on Xu's wife to do some miscellaneous work to subsidize the family, although the family is poor, he is very hard-working, but because of his rebellious nature, few people interact with him. Xu Yu is the only one who has a close relationship with him, and it is said that he often helps him in private. Because of his arrogant temperament, many people in the academy are very disgusted with him, and often trouble him.

Until one day, Xu Yu had something to go out, and it happened that the son of the county order family at that time had a piece of Hanshan inkstone lost, and the Hanshan inkstone was worth a lot of money, and even if he ordered people to look around, he still didn't find it. Later, someone accused that he saw Xu Shu steal the Hanshan inkstone and sell it. It happened that a sum of silver taels was found in Xu Shu's bookbag, no matter how Xu Shu defended that it was Xu Yu who lent him money to buy medicine for his mother, no one believed it. In this way, the then chief of the mountain drove him out of the academy, and the son of the county commander also used some means to put him in a cell.

The rain outside the window didn't know when it was heavy, and the rain was loud, and I didn't know how to react when I heard about the past, but I felt depressed.

Halfway through, she muttered, "Hasn't anyone questioned it?" Just wait until my dad comes back and asks him to find out if it's true."

Master Qiu waved his hand and sighed: "What they want is not the truth of the matter, what they want is just a reason to drive him out of the academy."

The first day of the first month was stunned, "Why?" Just because he's proud? But he also has arrogant capital."

The master shook his head, "Not because he is proud, but because his family is poor and proud." The human heart is evil, and the good are jealous and deceive the weak and fear the strong. If you don't have a position of power, no matter how talented you are, you will be bullied. ”

After listening, the beginning of the month pursed his lips and was silent. Suddenly there was a burst of thunder, and I raised my eyes and looked out the window, the sky was already overcast, "What about later?" She asked again.

"When your father came back, it was three days later. His mother also died of illness due to the lack of timely medical treatment. Since then, Xu Shu has disappeared with his wife and children, and some people say that he should have left the country. Master Qiu stroked his forehead, as if he was a little tired.

"Because it is related to the reputation of the academy, this matter is known to the students at that time, and no outsiders can know about it." Qiu Fuzi said, "Your father also fought a few times, but it was all done, and then he left Hengshan Academy in a fit of anger, and it was at that time that your father established Hudong Academy on his own. “

"Alright, let's do it for today." Master Qiu waved his hand, looking a little melancholy. "I'm tired."

At the beginning of the month, I bowed my head, feeling a little depressed, I don't know whether it was anger, regret or depression, as for when I left the study, I don't know.

In this way, the paper marriage contract may be empty.
