Shi Hao's mansion is located in Xingqing Fang, which is inside the Qiantang Gate in Lin'an West City. Xingqingfang is located between the middle river and the west gate of the city, which belongs to the old neighborhood of the original Hangzhou Mansion, although it is not the most prosperous place, but it is a clean and tidy block.

The horse-drawn carriage entered the street along the lush streets, and the trees on both sides of the road were very tall and covered with thick canopies, which sheltered the sky and the sun. Although the late summer and autumn solstice, the weather is already a little hot. But on such a street, it is cool and pleasant, and the mood is pleasant.

Shi Mansion is located in Liuyeer Hutong in the southwest of Xingqingfang, Shi Hao is just a doctor of Guozijian, and he entered the office late, Fang Zi'an thought that his house must be just an ordinary house. However, when I got to the door, I realized that I was too naïve. The vermilion gatehouse is extraordinarily imposing, surrounded by a high wall, and the tall trees inside are lush and green, which can be seen outside the courtyard wall. At first glance, you can see that it is a mansion of considerable size.

Following the messenger into the courtyard gate, after bypassing the wall that was two feet high and two feet wide, a huge courtyard appeared in front of him. The courtyard is lush with flowers and trees, rockeries are stacked, and corridors are meandering. It's not a very beautiful garden, but it's a great place. A doctor of Guozijian is just a civil official of the fifth grade, and he has the strength to live in such a mansion, which shows the generous treatment of officials in the Great Song Dynasty. It's no wonder that so many people are desperately trying to squeeze into the career.

When he came to the door of the main hall along the blue brick road surrounded by flower beds, Shi Hao, who had already received the report, greeted him with a smile on his face, and said with a smile: "Zi'an, Miss Ruomei, you are here." Inside, please. ”

Fang Zi'an and Zhang Ruomei hurriedly returned the salute. Fang Zi'an said: "I'm bothering Mr. Shi, I'm stained with Ruomei's light today." ”

Shi Hao smiled: "What do you say?" Originally, I also wanted to ask you to talk, but the last time I met, I was very impressed, and I have always wanted to ask you to come. I'm glad you are here today. Talking inside. ”

Followed Shi Hao into the hall, the hall furnishings are very quaint, there are calligraphy and paintings hanging on the walls on both sides, and there is a painting hanging on the north hall, painting a simple and vigorous pine tree, and a monk under the tree is closing his eyes and meditating.

Shi Hao asked Fang Zi'an and Zhang Ruomei to sit down, and ordered someone to serve tea. Seeing Fang Zi'an looking at the painting on the hall, he smiled and said: "This is the picture of Panasonic Zen meditation, and the painting is my teacher Zhengjue Zen Master." When I was studying under Master Zhengjue, I practiced silent meditation. But since he entered the office, he has fallen into the red dust, which has long been contrary to Zen. If the Zen Master knew that I was like this today, I am afraid he would be angry. ”

Fang Zi'an was not surprised, it is not surprising that Zen meditation was popular among the Great Song scholars. But that enlightened Zen master is famous. It is said that he presided over the Tiantong Temple and created the method of 'silent meditation', which was popular for a while. Scholars and doctors flocked to it to practice its Zen teachings. The Taibai Mountain, where the Tiantong Temple is located, is also one of the most famous Zen mountains in the Great Song Dynasty.

"Silently forgot to speak, Zhao Zhao appeared. Observing the time of Gor, the body is in a good place. These four sentences written on the painting are the essence of meditation. It's a pity that I've abandoned the Zen Gate.

Fang Zi'an said with a smile: "Mr. Shi, why should I regret it, Zen Buddhism is all about helping the world and saving people, and Mr. is actually saving people from the world at the moment, and it is also a practice." It's just that the methods are different, but the paths are the same. ”

Shi Hao laughed and said: "That's right, when you say that, I seem to feel much better in my heart, and I don't blame myself so much." ”

Zhang Ruomei couldn't understand what the two people were saying, and looked around with her eyes. Suddenly, I heard a woman's crisp voice like a yellow warbler from behind the hall.

"Is Sister Ruomei here? Is it really Sister Ruomei? ”

Zhang Ruomei's eyes widened, and she stood up with a happy face.

But seeing that the bamboo girl at the back door of the hall was opened, a girl in a green dress walked in, a pair of autumn eyes roamed the hall, and she shouted in a coquettish voice: "Sister Ruomei, where are you?" ”

When he saw a strange man present, he immediately blushed and stopped shyly.

"Ah, Ning Yue. Is it really you? Zhang Ruomei shouted excitedly.

The girl saw Zhang Ruomei in a blink of an eye, walked a few steps quickly to her, looked at her carefully with wide eyes, and exclaimed in surprise: "It's really you, Sister Ruomei, it's really you." Ning Yue died happily, I didn't expect what my father said to be true, I didn't expect to see you again. ”

Zhang Ruomei nodded excitedly, grabbed the girl's hand and shook it again and again, and smiled: "Yes, it's me." Who would have thought? It's been more than ten years, but I didn't expect us to meet again. ”

The girl grabbed Zhang Ruomei's hand with both hands, and the two of them held hands and looked at each other with a smile, and suddenly their eyes were red, and they slowly shed tears.

Shi Hao and Fang Zi'an stood aside and looked at them, and they were very moved in their hearts.

Shi Hao smiled and said: "Ning Yue, when you see your young partner, you should be happy, but why did you cry." By the way, Ning Yue came to greet the guests, this one is Fang Zi'an Fang's son? ”

The girl had already seen a strange young man beside her, and when she heard this, she gently wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes, and stepped forward to salute Fang Zi'anju.

"Ning Yue has seen Fang Gongzi." Shi Ningyue said softly. It seems that Shi Hao has told his daughter about Fang Zi'an's admission of Zhang Ruomei, so she said this.

Fang Zi'an hurriedly returned the salute. Shi Hao smiled on the side: "Zi'an, this is the little girl Ning Yue, who has been stubborn since she was a child, and she doesn't know how to be polite, so she makes you laugh." ”

Fang Zi'an hurriedly said: "There, Master Shi is too modest. Miss Ning Yue and Ruomei Xiaoyou reunited, naturally they were very happy. I am glad for them below. ”

Shi Ningyue smiled, the pear vortex on her cheeks appeared, and said softly: "Thank you Gongzi Fang for your understanding, and thank Gongzi Fang for taking care of Ruomei." Fang Gongzi's lyrics, Ning Yue also read it, and she admired it very much. That day, I also told my father that one day I would be able to see what kind of characters the person who wrote "The Qingyu Case" and "Magnolia Flower Words", but I didn't expect to actually see it. Ning Yue also likes to dance and ink, please advise another day. ”

Fang Zi'an didn't dare to say again, Shi Hao smiled, and said to Fang Zi'an: "Zi'an, Ning Yue really likes to dance and ink, and your two poems are indeed peerless masterpieces, it seems that you will often come to my house in the future." was targeted by my family's Ning Yue, and you are afraid that you will not be able to do it without advice. ”

Shi Ningyue said shyly: "Dad! ”

Shi Hao laughed and said to Shi Ningyue: "Yue'er, you little friends have a lot to say when you reunite. You lead Miss Ruomei first. Leave the guests at home for dinner at noon today, you can tell your mother by the way, and ask her to instruct the kitchen to make a few more good dishes at noon today. ”

Shi Ningyue hurriedly nodded in agreement, glanced at Fang Zi'an, and said coquettishly: "Then, Daddy, Fang Gongzi, I'll take Sister Ruomei to my room to talk." ”

Shi Hao smiled and waved his hand, "Go ahead." ”

Shi Ningyue turned around and grabbed Zhang Ruomei's arm and said, "Sister Ruomei, let's go, Ning Yue has a lot to say to you." ”

Zhang Ruomei smiled: "Me too." ”

As the two of them spoke, they went to the back of the hall like a pair of butterflies, and the chatter and laughter gradually disappeared.

"It's so good, it's rare for a little friend to reunite. Especially after the catastrophe experienced by Zhang Tongzhi's family, who would have thought that they would have to meet again one day. yes, yes. I watched them meet and was happy for them. Shi Hao laughed.

Fang Zi'an looked at the swaying bamboo in the back hall door, this Shi Ningyue gave him a good impression. It's just the beauty of life, but what is rare is that there is a pure and bright feeling on the body, and it has a bookish atmosphere. Born in a scholarly family, he has an elegant and generous temperament.

"Zi'an. Zi'an? What do you think? Shi Hao shouted.

Fang Zi'an said in a loud voice, and hurriedly came back to his senses and said, "What Mr. said is that I am also happy for them." ”

Shi Hao smiled: "Don't leave them alone, let them speak by themselves." Zi'an, let's have a good chat today. Sit down and talk. ”

Fang Zi'an thanked him and sat down, Shi Hao took a sip of tea, looked at Fang Zi'an and said slowly: "Zi'an, the last time I saw Qingyuan, you surprised me very much. It seems that you not only know how to write good words like the Qingyu case, but also have different views on people and things, no wonder Qin Xiqing admires you so much. The prince also praised you. On that day, I was actually invited by the prince to see how many catties and taels you have. ”

Fang Zi'an nodded and smiled: "I understand." It can be seen that the prince has great respect for Mr. Shi, and naturally he also wants you to check it. I can understand. The prince is thirsty for talent, and of course he doesn't want to lose his eyes. ”

Shi Hao nodded and said, "It's good that you understand." The current situation between the DPRK and China is indeed one-sided. Qin Hui's power is too great, and the vast majority of people in the DPRK and China are people who tend to be inflammatory. The prince also knew that there was nothing to be done by the officials of the DPRK and China, so he decided to start a new business and select available people from among the new students. So, when he meets you, of course he thinks it's a baby. It would be like finding a gold ingot in the sand. ”

Fang Zi'an hurriedly said: "Don't dare, don't dare." If Master Shi always praised Zi'an like this, Zi'an couldn't sit still. Zi'an is nothing but an ordinary grain of sand. ”

Shi Hao said: "I didn't praise you, and you don't have to be pretentious." Although I admire you, you are far from being with me to the extent that I can praise you endlessly. ”

Fang Zi'an was stunned for a moment, and thought, "It turns out that I am self-inflicted. ”

Shi Hao continued: "I can write some poetry articles, which is actually nothing. I am a great Song Dynasty heavy writer, and there are many people who can write poetry and articles, but my Great Song Dynasty has lost half of the country and suffered the humiliation of Jingkang, but those who are good at writing words and essays have not been able to turn the tide? Aren't you just letting it happen, but there's nothing you can do? Therefore, in my opinion, the real talent is not to be able to write a few good words and articles, but to have the way of governing the country through the world, and know how to go to the auxiliary officials and the good ministers of the people. What I am lacking in the Great Song Dynasty today is not ordinary literati who can write poems and lyrics, but such good ministers. Therefore, even if your words are well written, to me, they are only good words. Good literary talent does not mean good character, and good character does not mean high ability. ”
