Chapter 398: A Transformation
Yao'er bowed and said: "The elders have won awards, and the younger generations can have today, although there are personal efforts, but there is also no lack of support and meritorious opportunities for nobles." ”
This reply was not only appropriate, but also in line with the hearts of these old fellows, who, when they were young, often felt that my life was in my absence. This is especially true when these people come from a strong family background.
But the older people get, the more they are in awe of heaven and earth, and the more they feel that there is a mysterious force in the underworld that affects everything in the world.
The elders nodded one after another, and Li Xianhe saw that everyone admired it, and a big stone fell to the ground in his heart. Stroke your beard with your hands, and be happy.
At this time, an old man suddenly asked, "The old man has also heard of your heroic deeds." Such as a little trickery, provoking the open and secret battle between King Di and the Great Minister Qinling; Another example is the trip to southern Xinjiang......"
These people are really aware of Yao'er's deeds. More than the queen knows, it's terrifying to hear. To put it bluntly, it's worthless, Yao'er didn't hide it from the family when she did something, and many of the things the family helped her do.
This person listed all the proud deeds of Yao'er's life in one breath......
It may be an exaggeration to say that it is a life, but how old is Yao'er, and the great things he has done during this period, how many people are unable to do the next one in their lifetime, and these alone are enough for her to laugh at her peers.
After finishing speaking, the man said: "The old man has always seen what your girl has always done, and she is the best at using wisdom. And what Yao'er did, although the merit is beneficial in the present generation, is not famous, otherwise it would have been known to the world now, because Yao'er had no military power in hand at that time. Without the corresponding strength, is it a last resort? ”
Haruka knew that this was the old guys considering his style and method of doing things. He replied seriously: "Wisdom and strength, if I can use both and can achieve the goal, then the younger generation will definitely sacrifice strength and use wisdom." If you have to use your wisdom to achieve your goal, the younger generation will choose power.
The reason is simple, kill a thousand. Self-inflicted half a hundred, although exertional efforts are a shortcut to personal fame, but the sacrifice is the lives of countless people. One will be successful. Besides, the purpose of war is to get, and if wisdom can be used to achieve the goal. Why use force to make things happen? ”
Another old man laughed and said, "That's it. When Yao'er does things, wisdom and strength can achieve what he wants, he must choose wisdom and give up his strength, so in Yao'er's opinion, wisdom is the best means to achieve the goal? ”
Yao'er said eloquently: "The younger generation thinks that wisdom and strength are just means to achieve the goal. What is needed is cultural education. And wisdom is only an outward manifestation of cultural education. 'The brave win the world. In fact, to win the world, above the force, it also needs to be led by the plotter.
Heroes are only a matter of a moment, and those who can make achievements through the ages are not people who can take advantage of power, use strategy, use wisdom, and understand governance. Mr. Guigu once discussed the sword in Guigu: "The sword of the puppet is like the wind, and it can take people's lives; The general's sword can conquer the city and plunder the land, and shock the Quartet, but once the king's sword is used, it can pacify the princes and dominate the world. ”
A white-haired old man suddenly smiled and asked, "Since Yao'er is still wise, You Chongwenzhi." Why do you laugh at those men and women who read in the back garden for being 'and mud'? ”
Yao'er was stunned for a moment, thought for a moment, and said with a smile: "The old-timer is a respected elder to Yao'er, how can he tease the younger generation with words. ”
The white-haired old man was slightly stunned and asked, "Why did the old man tease you?" ”
Yao'er said: "A country boy, his mother told him to go and hunt pigweed and come back to feed the pigs, he came back with a basket of pigweed, and played with a bunch of mud by the way, can't he just say that he only had a ball of mud when he went out, right?" In the same way, the younger generation never said that reading is with mud, but that readers chant poems all day long, but instead abandon their main business, which is forgetting to beat pigweed and only caring about mud. ”
The white-haired old man raised his eyebrows and said, "There is a difference?" ”
Yao'er said: "There is a difference! What a difference! To say that the role of this poetry is like the pre-war order of a large army, the military song during the war, and the eulogy after victory...... Hehe.
The old man was slightly angry and said, "Today's birthday of Gong Li, the hall is full of joy, and the guests are like clouds." The girl is willing to be happy with a pile of mud, Bo Li Gong? ”
Although people who read poetry books intensively are good at writing poems, it is not easy for them to make a poem in a moment, not to mention that Yao'er's performance is obviously not good at poetry, in the final analysis, this old man still thinks that Yao'er's contemptuous attitude towards poetry is because she herself is not good at poetry, and she doesn't want to be embarrassed in front of the children of those families, so she pretends to be arrogant. Therefore, I still want to embarrass her and cut her arrogance.
After the old man finished speaking, there was someone who appreciated Yao'er more, and he felt that it was a little inappropriate to let Yao'er lose face in front of so many people. Although Li Xianhe also wanted to teach Yao'er a lesson, he didn't want her to lose face in front of so many people, but the person who asked the question was the master of the Zheng family, and he was the master and Yao'er's promoter, so he didn't want to be too partial, so he lost a look at Mi Zixuan and asked him to relieve Yao'er.
Mizi took a moment to understand, coughed hurriedly, and first found the steps for Yao'er and said: "All of you here are elders and seniors, Yao'er doesn't have to be nervous, just chant a few lines of poetry and invite the seniors to taste it." Yao'er is proficient in military affairs, good at civil governance, and proficient in the science of scheming and contingency, so his skills are already extraordinary. People's energy is limited, and if they are not good at poetry, they are nothing, hehe......"
After Elder Zheng spoke, Yao'er bowed her head and remained silent, and Mi Zixuan finished her words. Yao'er still didn't speak, just lowered her head and pondered, and then everyone's eyes were focused on her, and she was curious: "Could it be ...... Haruka really wants to get in touch with a ball of mud? ”
After a while. Yao'er slowly raised her head, smiled at Elder Zheng, and said, "The elder has a life, how dare the younger generation refuse." Then, the younger generation is on top of this longevity hall and a ball of mud, but if you can coax the birthday star to laugh, it can be regarded as doing a part of the younger generation's heart. ”
Everyone looked surprised when they heard it, could it be that this Yao'er really knew how to compose poetry?
Can you really make a poem in such a short time?
Such a short period of time. It is not easy to make a limerick poem that rhymes and adapts to the situation, but I don't know what kind of poem this girl who compares poetry to mud will make.
For a moment, all the patriarchs held their breath, ready to take a look at the mud that Yao'er had come out of.
An Ke looked at Yao'er intently. There was a slight hint of nervousness in his expression.
Yao'er derogates writing poetry to mud, so it's nothing if she can't make good poems, anyway, she said that it's mud, and it's common for her to have little attainment in this knowledge, but An Ke rarely cares about a person, and Yao'er is one of the few, of course he still hopes that Yao'er's sister can be beautiful. This time it is inevitable to be nervous for her.
Yao'er said: "Since the seniors of Zheng have a topic, the juniors will make a song to praise the grand occasion of Li Zhai's birthday today." ”
Zheng Lao was also a little surprised, and he contempt. He said in a deep voice: "Listen up! ”
Yao'er looked around, obviously looking for materials.
Her eyes swept slightly over the twelve screens of carved red sandalwood opposite, and then looked at the incense porcelain stove placed on the small table in the corner, and finally fixed it on the red felt in front of the hall. Before Haruka came here. There has just been a dance of 'Green Waist' here, and there is a red flower left by the temples of a kabuki dancer on the red felt in front of the hall.
Yao'er smiled slightly, raised the feather bud shaped like a half-moon, and groaned in a loud voice: "The painting screen is deep in the light of the clouds, and Luo Qihua flies to the white jade hall." The silver wine is poured into the fishtail, and the golden furnace is full of duck heart fragrance. Gently shake the green water frog moth, and touch the red silk wrist wildly. Today, Enrong Xu listened to it together, and he was drunk for a thousand years. ”
Quiet. It's quiet.
The hall is full of heads of families and important elders, all of whom are full of poetry and books. Yao'er's poem is not a shocking work, but it is definitely a masterpiece in the birthday banquet poem, which should be suitable for the situation, full of wealth, and the happy and peaceful atmosphere of the rich family is all described.
It is not easy to make such a poem in such a short period of time, and Yao'er has repeatedly shown her disdain for poetry, obviously she didn't spend much effort on learning before, so she can make such a good poem, especially her skills.
This strong contrast between attitude and achievement is the most amazing, everyone is waiting for her to come out with a pile of real mud, but he has pinched out a clay figure with both form and spirit, so it seems that her previous posture is obviously not to make excuses for herself, but really disdainful.
An Ke's eyes suddenly flashed with a hint of brilliance, Li Xianhe's beard was halfway twisted and stopped there, and it was only after a while that he slowly smoothed down, and looked at Yao'er's eyes with a little smile. After Yao'er finished chanting this poem, she saw that no one answered for a long time, so she had to continue to finish the show and bow her hand to everyone: "Offer ugliness!" Ugly! ”
Yao'er inherited the family education at an early age, especially after his father lived in seclusion, he pinned all his hopes for reviving the family's voice on this only girl, and put more effort into her education.
Later, Yao'er went overseas with her master, and although her grandfather was rough in appearance and the head of the green forest in the past, he was also full of knowledge. When he wanted to fight for the world, he did not rely on unparalleled martial arts, but on his talent for economic prosperity and governing the world.
In the past few years overseas, my grandfather has not instructed the martial arts of the little apprentices, but the culture and education are done by himself, and Yao'er's literary style is naturally not bad.
An old man snorted: "Gong is the head of virtue, and prudence is the foundation!" Girl, since you are good at writing poetry, when the children of the families in the back garden invite you to chant poems, no matter how disdainful you are in your heart, why not accept it at will? And why deliberately belittle and grandstand? It is necessary to know that the situation should not be arrogant, the anger should not be crazy, and the subtle retreat is the way of humility. ”
Yao'er arched his hand and said, "This elder is ......"
Mi Zi replied for the old man: "This old man is Cui Gong. ”
Yao'er said sincerely: "In front of the elders, dare not speak frankly? The younger generation does not mean to be grandstanding, but has such a view of the way of poetry.
The younger generation disdains it, so why hide their contempt. In today's church, if it weren't for the elders' request, the younger generations wouldn't have made this poem. If the world is peaceful, and the younger generation is from a high-ranking family, there is no need to worry about the country and the people, nor do they have to run around for food.
But now that the strong enemy is looking around, the cool officials in the court are rampant, the elders not only know a lot about the affairs of the younger generations, but also know the tragic struggle between the younger generations and the cool officials, so many major events related to the national economy and people's livelihood, the family and the country, the way of poetry is naturally a mess of mud. If this poem of the younger generations still enters the eyes of the elders, in the eyes of the younger generations, it is just a ball of mud that looks good, and it is really useless. ”
Cui Gong was about to speak, but Li Xianhe already smiled and said: "Old man Cui, what you want to talk about with Yao'er is the family and the country or the poetry and songs?" Are you planning to persuade Yao'er to immerse her in the way of poetry from now on, and become a generation of poets or poets or court officials? ”
Cui Gong was stunned for a moment, and then laughed dumbly. This kind of thing, he really doesn't need to entangle with Yao'er. In his heart, the most important thing is the inheritance of the family, the peace of the world, poetry and poetry, he has not cared about this kind of thing for many years, Li Xianhe now likes to collect, he likes to travel in the mountains and rivers, if major events are needed, these good things can also be sacrificed at any time, Yao'er is not heavy on poetry, where does he care, why did he dispute over this matter?
These elders were also open-minded, and as soon as they figured it out, they laughed it off. Cui Gong never mentioned poetry, but said with a straight face: "Do you know what we old men want to see you today, what is it for?" ”
Yao'er said with a smile: "The juniors have guessed one or two, the seniors probably want to cultivate the juniors and serve the inheritance and existence of the Mozong family, right?" ”
There is no untrustworthy person in this room, even if someone is willing to betray others for good profits, but no one will betray themselves for big profits, and no one can pay enough price for the people in this room to betray anything, so Yao'er is open and honest, without concealment.
Li Xianhe smiled and said: "Yao'er is a smart person, and the old man is not sloppy." As long as Yao'er is willing to be used by us, we can provide all the resources to help you, and at the latest in five years, let you become a waiter; In another ten years, he became a scholar. Another seven years, into the political hall! Before Lent, he was able to worship the prime minister, under one man, above ten thousand people! Hehe, what do you mean to send you a famous female husband? ”
After Li Xianhe finished speaking, Yao'er was pleasantly surprised, but she didn't expect her to be calm and not even excited. Li Xianhe frowned, then slowly stretched, and said with a smile: "Since Yao'er entered the office, it has been smooth sailing, and she has become a fifth-grade official at a young age, or do you think that the next step will be a smooth road?"
The old man might as well say bluntly, the higher this official goes, the more difficult it is to be promoted, and the higher he goes, the more difficult it is to have a vacant position for you. With your current level, you don't know how many people will compete with you if you go up to the next level, and all of them have deep backgrounds and strong connections, so it will be difficult for you to go further.
We can give you what the children of the Hanmen clan lack the most after entering the officialdom: power and connections! (To be continued......)
