Chapter 025: Autumn Wind Words
Ru Xuan just wanted to ridicule the world, but he didn't expect it to fuel his arrogance, and immediately regarded himself as a "life-saving benefactor", and shamelessly asked for a "thank you gift", which was really angry.
"I want to thank you but no, Ru Xuan is a poor palace maid, if she doesn't want money, it's a life!" Ru Xuan replied angrily, but as soon as the words came out, she immediately regretted it. I always feel that what I just said seems to be too much.
"If you don't want money, you need to die!" Isn't that a hint at the world?
Ru Xuan was a little embarrassed, timidly raised her eyelids and secretly looked at Shiqi's face, for fear that he would take it seriously. But when you think about it, Shiqi is an incomplete man, even if he is given a body, he will not be blessed to enjoy it, right? Thinking of this, Ru Xuan smiled more and more slyly.
Anyway, those who are barefoot are not afraid of wearing shoes, who is afraid of whom?
"I finally rescued you, how could I want your life?" Shi Qi smiled: "What I want is ......" said this, Shi Qi probably prolonged his tone, causing Ru Xuan's infinite worry and reverie.
Shi Qi pointed to the pile of paper and pens on the stone table unhurriedly, and said faintly: "Then how about you copy a poem as a thank you gift?" ”
"Copy a poem?" Ru Xuan was surprised again, not knowing what kind of calculation she was making in this world.
"I saw that you were just writing Du Fu's "Wangyue", and I think you have also read some books and know some words, so it shouldn't be difficult to copy poems, right?" Seeing Ru Xuan's abnormal expression, Shiqi thought she was reluctant, and hurriedly explained to explain that he had no intention of embarrassing her.
"It's okay to copy the verses, but why did you suddenly remember to ask for this?" Ru Xuan is puzzled by a eunuch, logically speaking, he should be a vulgar person, and what he likes should be real money and power, how can he be elegant? Even if I knew a little bit about Shiqi's personality before, and knew that he was kind and extraordinary, unlike other laypeople, I still didn't understand Shiqi's intentions.
Shi Qi understood Ru Xuan's doubts, so he explained: "My father is a teacher in a private school, I like to read and write since I was a child, and I am determined to become a generation of writers in the future, but later the family fell into decline, and my father and mother died early, so I entered the palace." As he spoke, a deep sense of sorrow appeared on his face.
mentioned other people's sad things for no reason, Ru Xuan also felt a little guilty, and felt that she was clumsy and would not comfort people, for fear of making him unhappy again, so she hurriedly picked up the pen and asked, "Which poem do you want?" "Trying to distract the world.
Shiqi thought for a moment before he said slowly: "When Concubine Hui passed away, the emperor often silently recited 'Sauvignon Blanc and long memories, Sauvignon Blanc is infinite', so write this one." ”
These two sentences are taken from "Autumn Wind Words", written by the great poet Li Bai of the Tang Dynasty, and between the lines are all expressions of the thoughts of the deceased beauty and the sorrow of the poet. Although it is early summer, the season is not right, but today is the day when Concubine Hui first entered the palace, and it is appropriate to use this poem to express her thoughts about Concubine Hui.
The autumn breeze is clear, the autumn moon is bright, the fallen leaves gather and disperse, and the jackdaws are frightened. I know when I see each other, and I am embarrassed at this night. Enter my lovesick door, know that I am lovesick, long-term lovesickness, long-term lovesickness, short-term lovesickness is infinite, I knew that it was so stumbling, how could I not know each other at the beginning.
Ru Xuan finished writing word by word, her eyes were full of tears.
Lyrical in poetry and emotion in words, when the emperor at that time recited this poem, I am afraid that it was also described as a cold autumn autumn, looking at the full moon in the sky, looking at the fallen leaves in the courtyard, and remembering Concubine Hui who once put on a coat for himself and cared for him.
Secretly wiping away the tears from the corners of her eyes with her sleeve, Ru Xuan stabilized her feelings, looked at her calligraphy that was still like graffiti, although she had just made great progress, and several words that were not sure if they were traditional or not, and could only sigh in annoyance.
It seems that listening to and speaking and writing are really two different things! Ru Xuan looked at those traditional Chinese characters with many lengthy strokes, and sighed at the breadth and profundity of Chinese characters, the same characters, can actually have a variety of glyphs.
"Well, it's written." Ru Xuan shook the paper, blew the ink stains that had not yet dried, and sent it to Shiqi's hand, and said with a smile: "This is the first time I have given someone a word, you have to take good care of it." ”
"It's nature." Shi Qi smiled and agreed, carefully examined each word, and made sure that the ink was dry, so he carefully rolled it into a cylinder and put it away.
"Next time, let me help you copy the poems, but it will cost you money." Seeing Shiqi's careful treatment of her, Ru Xuan was very happy, but she still didn't forget to tease him casually.
"It should be, it should be." Shi Qi saw that Ru Xuan was full of childlike naughty looks, and said with a brighter smile: "Seeing that your knowledge is also broad, you just mentioned the verses in it, and you can write them all silently, it seems that I will have to ask you more for advice in the future!" ”
Ru Xuan's smile froze on her face as she said that.
At this time, the woman pays attention to the virtue of being talentless, even if she is the daughter of a wealthy compound, she just invited her husband to her home, and she just knew some words, and she was not a blind person with her eyes open. Moreover, even if they read, they read what kind of women's training they read, and few of them read the Four Books and Five Classics, Tang and Song poems.
"I grew up in the academy since I was a child, and I read and read with my husband every day, so I naturally have a wide range of knowledge." Ru Xuan simply raised her head proudly and said proudly: "It's just that my father is just helping to take care of flowers and plants in the academy, and his family is poor, and he has no money to buy pen and paper for me to write." ”
"I see." Only then did Shi Qi realize that Ru Xuan was just a matter of hearing and seeing, and the gentleman of the academy may have seen that she was smart and clever, so he had to give her some books to read in his spare time. And although she said that she read a lot of books, she saw that her family was poor and had no money to let her go to study and practice calligraphy, so she wrote so unfamiliarly.
"Fortunately, the beauty of Chunhui Hall was willing to lend me books, and sent me some pen, ink, paper, and inkstone, so I thought that I had time to read more and write, which can be regarded as fulfilling my childhood wish." Ru Xuan smiled, seeing that the world looked as usual, and then breathed a heavy sigh of relief.
And Shiqi also responded with a smile, laughing without saying a word.
The two of them just stood quietly, and after a while, Ru Xuan looked at the sun that was gradually sinking in the west, and realized that it was not early.
"It's getting late." Shi Qi followed Ru Xuan's gaze and saw that a few wisps of red glow had risen in the western sky, and said with a smile: "Unconsciously it's been out for so long?" ”
