Xianglan sat down next to De Ge'er and asked, "Why did you suddenly ask this?" ”

Brother De'er shook his calves, glanced out of his eyes, and quickly retracted it, lowered his head and said, "It's nothing"

Xianglan saw De Ge'er looking at the door, and couldn't help but follow her gaze. Lin Jinlou hid behind the curtain and muttered: "Tsk, silly boy, this is exposed, there is no old Yuan's treacherous cunning at all." Coughing, the curtain was lifted and came in, everyone stood up and saluted when they saw it, Lin Jinlou smiled and waved his hand, "You sit." Everyone was a little uncomfortable because of him, Lin Jinlou didn't seem to notice, he only sat on the official hat chair behind the bookcase, and said, "My sisters have eaten and then go back, what did you just say?" ”

De Ge'er said: "I asked Aunt Lan, what is the use of learning piano, chess, calligraphy, painting, poetry and songs." ”

Lin Jinlou said to Xianglan: "Oh, then you can tell him." ”

Xianglan glanced at Lin Jinlou, hesitated slightly for a while, but lowered her head, saw the pair of eyes on De Ge'er's face that were similar to her sister, her heart was sour, and she said secretly: "My sister died early, this child is the only little blood in the family, and I don't know how long I can stay in the Lin family, as long as I see him for a while, I will hurt him for a while, and teach him well." After pondering for a moment, he said with a smile, "It is a bit shallow and utilitarian to regard poetry, songs, piano, chess, calligraphy and painting as things that should not be eaten or drunk. A good song can make people forget their worries or tears; A good painting, can make people distracted thoughts, wash the dust and purify the heart, gradually into the best situation, qin, chess, calligraphy and painting is the culmination of the wisdom of the saints throughout the ages, learning is not to show off talent, to add luster to their faces, but to focus on pleasantness. Self-cultivation and morality, for example, chess can hone the cultivation of the mind, Song Pan Shenxiu compared the way of Confucius and Mencius to Go, saying: "The way of chess is to be silent." And the trade-off is urgent. Benevolence can be complete, righteousness can be kept, etiquette can change, and wisdom can be both. Faith can be overcome. It means that playing chess can cultivate the virtues of benevolence, righteousness, courtesy, wisdom and faith. Another example is calligraphy, Tang Taizong said in "On the Brush" that "when you want to write, when you want to read and listen, you should concentrate on it, and your heart will be righteous, and you will be in tune with it", which means that you will let go of all fates, forget your honor and disgrace, be so engrossed, be quiet and single-minded, and often edify in elegance, and your mind will be broadened. It's a life-long experience. ”

De Ge'er stared at his big round eyes. He asked, "What is the realm?" ”

Pandan laughed again. "The 'realm' is a very delicate thing, I'll tell you a story. It is recorded in Buddhist scriptures that the same river. The beings of hell see pus and blood, and the hungry ghosts see a dry riverbed. What people see is the sparkling river, while what the heavens, men and gods see is the extremely beautiful golden water and glass. The same thing but see different scenes, this is their different realm. For example, the same poems, songs, pianos, chess, calligraphy and paintings, some people's realm sees that these things are not eaten or drunk, and it is useless to learn; Some people's realm can see its dignity and beauty. Qinqi, calligraphy and painting all contain the Zen that points directly to the hearts of the people, so that the heart is suddenly open, stable and subtle, there is a pair of eyes that are good at seeing the good, and the days will be more colorful. ”

Lin Dongxiu said with a smile: "You are amazing, you say that you can use the scriptures to quote the classics, and even the Buddhist scriptures are used, if you are a man, you are afraid that you can get a champion back when you go out." ”

Xianglan pursed her lips and smiled, and De Ge'er nodded her little head, not knowing whether she understood or not. Lin Jinlou chuckled, his eyes coming towards Jiang Xiyun. Jiang Xiyun raised her head, the two of them just collided, Jiang Xiyun saw that her eyes were playful, and she couldn't help but be stunned, she was a very smart person, and immediately understood what she had just said in the courtyard for Lin Jinlou to listen to.

Jiang Xiyun's heart is full of flavors, even if she is picky, she also understands that the marriage event is the life of her parents, her father attaches great importance to the family affairs of the Lin family, and her grandmother also has a lot of boasting about Lin Jinlou, and the Qin family attaches great importance to her. Lin Jinlou is high and powerful, heroic, she didn't know why she favored her with the Lin family's family background, until she saw Xianglan, and suddenly realized in her heart that this marriage was indeed her high, if there was no Chen Xianglan, where would it be her turn? Xianglan looks good and learns well, she is somewhat panicked, but she does not regard it as an opponent, Lin Jinlou has a romantic temperament, and the children of the official eunuchs, which one is not the third and the fourth? Only the family, the future, and the heirs are the foundation of life. No matter how much she loves the concubine, she will love to be indifferent for a long time, she has the support of etiquette, the escort of her mother-in-law, plus her own posture and scheming and means, she is not afraid that this Chen Xianglan will not fall. What's more, Chen Xianglan is still a light personality who does not eat fireworks in the world, she has never looked down on such a woman.

But Lin Jinlou she couldn't see through. She was born beautiful, her mouth is sweet, and she is also smart, how many sons and grandsons have fallen under the pomegranate skirt, there are those with prominent family backgrounds, those with good looks, and those who are talented, she can deal with them easily, only Lin Jinlou, he sat there quietly, she was a little afraid of him for no reason.

Lin Jinlou suddenly spoke: "Fifth cousin, what do you think about this matter?" ”

Jiang Xiyun was stunned for a moment, and said with a sweet smile: "What did my eldest cousin ask me for?" Sister Xianglan's exit is a chapter, I can't say this, Zhuyu is on the side, my eldest cousin wants to bully me, but I don't follow. ”

Jiang Danyun pursed his lips and was about to speak, but he heard Jiang Xiyun say: "Although Sister Xianglan is reasonable, it is not so simple. ”

Xianglan raised her head, and saw Jiang Xiyun sitting on an embroidery pier, holding a cup of tea in her hand, and said with a smile on her face: "Even if it is used, is there still a shortage of literati and scholars who are full of economy in this world, who are proficient in piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, but are poor?" If you can't eat, or you can't struggle in the career economy, you still go to chant the wind and the moon, poems and songs, isn't it putting the cart before the horse, 'the gentleman is stubborn and poor', and the sour and rotten are tight. ”

Xianglan said: "The literati and the poor are their life encounters, what does it have to do with being proficient in poetry, songs, piano, chess, calligraphy and painting? On the contrary, when many literati were desperate, they made a living by selling calligraphy and paintings, and were still able to support their families. She didn't want to have a verbal dispute with Jiang Xiyun, lowered her head and touched Brother De'er's head, and said, "Su Dongpo demoted the official Huangzhou, passed by the riverside Pingshan Hall, and saw the 'smoke and rain in the south of the Yangtze River, and there is no lonely Hong', and then sighed 'A little Haoran Qi, a thousand miles of fast wind', a person from the clouds into the mud, from the bustling Beijing to a remote place, but still have the heart to watch the sky and the rain, and the heart is still Haoran Qi. Today's people's eyes are looking at the ground, looking at the reality of utilitarianism, looking at the struggle between people, pondering is scheming, few people can stare at the smoke and rain, sit and watch the sunset, and live from the original heart. We care about worldly utilitarianism, and consider whether it is good for us to think about ourselves in advance, so the piano, chess, calligraphy, painting, poetry, and songs are useless, and most people's hearts are like dust, and they are all heavy and **. ”

Everyone heard this speech or it was like a bell filling their ears, and the aftermath was lingering; or like a pebble thrown into a lake, rippling layers of ripples; or it doesn't matter, and the face is ridiculed.

Everyone was silent.

Lin Jinlou looked at Xianglan, and saw that she was leaning over to tie the loose button on Dege'er's gown, and a strand of broken hair hung down on her cheeks, adding two points of gentleness.

Aunt Xia raised the tea bowl to her lips, blew off the hot air, and took a sip slowly.

Tan Luhua got up and said, "I'm leaving." Going in to say goodbye to Lin Jinlou, Xianglan was very retaining and said: "Second grandma wait and leave, I still have something to say to you." ”

Tan Luhua's farewell, Jiang Xiyun also stood up and resigned, Jiang Danyun didn't want to leave, just now Lin Jinlou entered the door, she tried every opportunity to talk to him, but Lin Jinlou didn't even look at her. It's just that Jiang Xiyun has already opened her mouth, and she doesn't sit much, when she looks in the mirror, she remembers that she looks the most beautiful with her face half sideways, so she will face Lin Jinlou with a light smile on her face.

Xianglan and Tan Luhua still came next door, pointed to the patterns picked out on the bed and two or three pieces of clothes, and said: "These clothes are all new, if the second grandmother doesn't dislike it, just pick one." ”

Tan Luhua was envious of Xianglan's many clothes, and when she heard the words, she smiled first, and said, "I'm afraid this is inappropriate."

Xianglan smiled: "What's wrong, it's too big, I may not fit it well, the second grandmother is the size of it, it's good to wear." ”

Lin Dongxiu came in behind the two of them, and when she saw Xianglan giving Tan Luhua clothes, she couldn't help but glance at her, and Xianglan shook her head gently.

Tan Luhua was very happy, picked out a piece of clothing, picked up two patterns painted by Xianglan, and couldn't stop thanking her, as soon as she left, Lin Dongxiu complained about Xianglan and said: "Say that you are stupid, you really don't see smart, the Tan family just gave you no face in the house, you give her something, don't be confused!" ”

Xianglan said: "I have a good relationship with her, and we can be safe with each other in the future." Seeing that Lin Dongxiu still had an angry look on her face, she pulled her to sit down and said slowly: "Fourth girl, you are always a smart and clever person, and you are also a beautiful girl, so you should act differently from ordinary people." Xianglan praised Lin Dongxiu twice, and when she saw that her face was a little softened, she said, "Since the Lin family comes from a family like this, you should know that it is not easy for sisters and sisters-in-law to get along with each other, not to mention that in the future, you will take care of the middle feed, and you will have more than 100 people up and down." If you see anyone who is uncomfortable, you will not eat a word, and you will not eat a word, and you will scold me today, and you will hurt me tomorrow, how can life be peaceful? Sensei said that she was a mother-in-law and sister-in-law who got along together, and even the maid and sister-in-law under her hands were not convinced. ”

Lin Dongxiu said: "What should I do? ”

Xianglan said: "One is to make a good fate, say more good things, even for the maids and sisters-in-law, on weekdays, they are generous, often benevolent to others, others are happy, and they will be affectionate to you." ”

Lin Dongxiu said: "What if it's the kind of white-eyed wolf that can't be fed." ”

Xianglan smiled: "Even if there are white-eyed wolves, they are very few, and they will be far away from the good and bad in the future." Second, you must be willing to suffer, as the saying goes, 'suffering is a blessing', if others take advantage of you, or offend you, tolerance and generosity are the best, and the dispute between tongues and tongues should not be ignored. ”

As he was talking, he heard Lin Jinlou calling Lin Dongxiu's name outside, and Lin Dongxiu went out.
