Chapter Ninety-Eight: Meditation III. Smoke and Cloud Pavilion
3. Yanyun Pavilion
Ma Yun patiently listened to him, Ma Yun smiled and said: "I can't imagine that there is such a legendary story about the birth of the double chairman." Bistable said: "I have a lot of stories growing up, and we will talk slowly later." ”
As the two spoke, the five of them came to the stone archway. The five people stopped in front of the steps, the five people raised their heads and looked at the stone archway, Ma Yun looked at the couplets on the stone pillars on both sides of the stone archway and said: "Very well written!" The five people walked up the steps, Principal Qian led the way in front, Ma Yun stood in front of the donation box, he took a stack of banknotes from Secretary Lu's hand and put it into the donation box.
The five of them continued to walk forward, when Ma Yun walked into the east wing and looked at his wax figure standing there, pitifully watching the wax people eating melons, he said to the bistable state with some seriousness: "You take down the wax statue and magnetic statue I stand here, and the people at your melon eating party can eat melons as much as they want in the wax man hall and magnetic man hall, don't involve my wax figure and magnetic image." ”
Bistable can only say behind Ma Yun: "I must do as you say!" Five people came to the Ma Yun Pavilion, Ma Yun and Bistable walked into the museum, and the three of them stood in front of the door.
Ma Yun walked into the museum and took a look, and immediately said to Bistable State very seriously: "You immediately find someone to take the Ma Yun Museum and the wax figures in the museum." The magnetic image was dismantled. ”
Bistable listened to him and did not speak. Principal Qian, who was standing outside the door, was anxious, so he walked into the museum and said to Ma Yun: "Mr. Ma, you said that we will do the demolition of Ma Yun's wax and magnetic statues in the museum, and you said that the house will also be demolished, which is a bit of a big loss, and we also spent a lot of money to build it." ”
Ma Yun said casually: "Then what do you say the house should do?" At this time, Shuangwen stepped forward and said: "In my opinion, we only need to change the name of the signboard of Ma Yun Pavilion, so we will have a relationship with you Ma Yun." ”
Ma Yun thought for a while and said, "That's fine, but what name do you want to change?" Principal Qian pushed the boat down the river and said, "Mr. Ma, what do you think is the best name to change?"
Ma Yun stood there and thought about it in his heart and said: "In my opinion, for thousands of years of Chinese history, those emperors, generals, talented and beautiful women in history are very much like a passing smoke cloud in the long history of mankind, so I changed the Ma Yun Pavilion to the Smoke Cloud Pavilion." ”
Principal Qian stood aside and patted the horse and said, "Well said, well said! The name Yanyun Pavilion is good and wonderful!" He turned to the young volunteers waiting outside the hall and said, "Bring a pen, ink, paper, and inkstone and ask Mr. Ma to write the name of the museum." ”
When President Qian's voice arrived, four young volunteers immediately appeared in front of the door at the foot of the steps of Ma Yun Pavilion, and they moved the tables, chairs, pens, ink, paper, and inkstones prepared in advance to the field under the steps. Principal Qian waved his hand and said, "Please ask Mr. Ma to write the name of the Yanyun Pavilion." ”
Ma Yun walked down the steps, he walked to the table, took the brush from the hands of the young volunteers, and wrote the words Yanyun Pavilion with a stroke. Principal Qian immediately patted the horse and said, "Mr. Ma's writing is strong and powerful, and you can write not only English but also Chinese." ”
Ma Yun put down the brush and stopped writing after writing, and Principal Qian said: "You have to sign under the three words." Ma Yun smiled and said: "This is not needed, do you know that there is a wordless monument in front of the tomb of Wu Zetian, the female emperor in Chinese history, let alone me? ”
Principal Qian realized: "Mr. Ma is still open-minded and clever in his work. After he finished speaking, he suddenly said to Ma Yun: "Mr. Ma, you see that we have removed the wax figures and magnetic statues in the museum, and they are empty, see if you can write a few words on the front wall of the museum to express your heart." ”
Ma Yun thought for a while and said, "Then I'll put pen to paper." After he finished speaking, he took the brush again and wrote a small poem on the prepared white paper:
Meditate
History is written by the people,
Heroes and heroes are in the clouds.
Life is only a few decades,
All the way to the west.
Behind him is left to be judged,
Why do you need to erect a monument and build a museum?
