Chapter 51: The Smoke and Rain
I stayed at Chang Shouren's place for most of the day, and after a simple meal. Suddenly, the sky became a little overcast. Wang Zhenren looked at the sky and said: "Qin Gongzi, there may be heavy rain this day, let's hurry back to Qingfeng Temple and come back another day." ”
Chang Shouren was a little reluctant in his heart, but he was also afraid that the rain would stop Qin Feng and the others.
Qin Feng and the others returned the same way, a few miles away, and then down the mountain, and the footsteps of several people sped up. Halfway through, the wind in the mountains and forests came with coolness and raindrops.
A few people braved the raindrops, just entered the Qingfeng Temple, the sky changed dramatically, the dark clouds in the air rolled, the black pressure continued, and the world was gray. The rain also suddenly became heavier, and in a moment, a torrential rain poured down.
"Look at this posture, I can't go today." Qin Feng stood under the eaves and said to Jia Song: "With such a heavy rain, presumably your mother and sister can also guess that we are trapped here." ”
Two Taoist priests, each holding an oilcloth umbrella in one hand and two in the other, said a few words in Wang Zhenren's ear. The other person handed out the oil umbrella to Qin Feng and Jia Song.
Wang Zhenren said with a smile: "Since the sky wants to keep guests, why don't Qin Gongzi follow his wishes?" ”
"There is a real person of King Lao."
Wang Zhenren nodded and said, "Gongzi Qin, please come with me." The group carried umbrellas and came to the guest room in the backyard of the west hall.
Wang Zhenren raised his hand and said, "These are the two best courtyards for Qingfeng Guan to entertain guests, and that one was used by Miss Lu." Qin Gongzi is not bad here. ”
Qin Feng was stunned: "Miss Lu? ”
"Yes, Lu Wenman, she just came up, and she took a step into Qingfeng Temple before us. also took the first step to occupy the small courtyard. Hehe, if there are distinguished guests to take shelter from the rain, you have to go to the wing. ”
"These two places, but where Rihai and Lee Chang-hyuk lived?"
"Exactly! I knew that they would live for most of the year. I should have arranged for them to go somewhere else, hehe. "Wang Zhenren cultivates the Tao and is open-minded.
Entering the small courtyard, Qin Feng smiled and said, "The two of us, where do we need such a big courtyard?" With so many rooms vacant, if there are other guests staying overnight, real people can arrange to come in. ”
Wang Zhenren waved his hand: "Distinguished guest, there is a scene of distinguished guests." I still have more rooms here, Qin Gongzi can rest in peace. Later, someone will bring supper and tea. I still have some small things to deal with, Qin Gongzi, please take care of yourself. ”
"Thank you Wang Zhenren!"
Sending Wang Zhenren out, Qin Feng was about to turn around and go back to the courtyard, when the door of the small courtyard opposite opened, and Lu Wenman walked out of the room with a maid and stood under the corridor in front of the door.
Qin Feng smiled and waved his hand, Lu Wenman hesitated, and then half-raised his arm and waved his hand.
The maid came down the corridor and walked in front of Qin Feng: "Qin Gongzi, my young lady has some questions about pinyin, and I want to ask my son to go over and talk about it." I wonder if my son has time? ”
It's raining so hard, and it's idle to be idle, so it's good to go to the beauties and have a chat. turned around and instructed Jia Song: "I'll go next door, you guard the door at home!" ”
Jia Song looked at the courtyard, this gate, is it necessary for me to guard it?
Qin Feng followed the maid to Lu Wenman, and said, "What a coincidence, I met Miss Lu here." ”
Lu Wenman also bowed and said with a smile: "It's not a coincidence, yesterday Mr. Liu said that Qin Gongzi would come to Qingfeng Temple." I'm here today to ask Gongzi Qin a few questions. ”
Qin Feng said with a smile: "Please say, I will answer all my questions." ”
"Although this rain is a little cool, it is also refreshing, why don't we sit in this corridor?" Lu Wenman smiled.
With Lu Wenman's words, there was a hint of the fragrance of roses, Qin Feng took a deep breath: "So good!" ”
After the Dragon Boat Festival, the weather is getting hotter, and it is really a little stuffy in the house on a rainy day, which is not as comfortable as in this corridor.
The two maids worked together to lift out a wooden chair, Qin Feng reached out to take it, placed it, and asked Lu Wenman to sit down. Turning around, he took a wooden chair from the maid's hand, leaving a slight distance to settle down. The maid set up a table between the two, and then added tea, snacks, and fruits.
Lu Wenman waved his hand: "Qin Gongzi tastes these dim sums, they are all made by the Lu family themselves, and the taste is no worse than that of Crispy Zhai." ”
"Good!" Qin Feng had never been polite, reached out and took a piece of pastry and put it in his mouth. "Yes, yes, and some roses! And nuts in it? ”
Lu Wenman said with a smile: "Make your own dim sum, you can put whatever you want, it's completely free." So whatever flavor you want to eat, you have to say it. If you want the cook to guess, it will be difficult to meet your own wishes. ”
Qin Feng picked up the teacup, took a sip of tea, groaned slightly, and said, "I want too much." So it's hard for me to choose too. ”
"Mr. Liu said you, you want a guard? Because you want to take them to business, and it's easy to make money by going to business, right? ”
"Yes."
"So, you're actually really trying to make money."
"Yes and no. I really want to make money because I want to do something, and it costs money to do it. ”
"Like, what's the matter?"
Qin Feng shook his head: "It's a long story, and besides, I can't tell it for a while." It's better not to say it for the time being, and later, you will see clearly. ”
"You're completely different from everyone else. Like you said, you're on different planes. ”
"Someone else? Who? ”
"The students of Shilin Academy, their ideas are very unified and their goals are very clear. Zhongju, then Zhongjinshi, and then loyal to the emperor, serve the court, and benefit the people. Everything they do, it's about making this idea a reality. Only you, as a scholar, act incompatible with the general stream. If other people knew that you had repeatedly rejected Shilin Academy, they would have thought it was too incredible to imagine. Lu Wenman smiled: "I guess, you must feel that there is no common language with them." ”
Qin Feng smiled: "Miss Lu learns new vocabulary, she learns very quickly!" Who doesn't want to be an official? I really want to. There are so many students in Shilin Academy, how many of them have entered the Shishi and the first? Therefore, the vast majority of students do not recognize themselves. Everybody thinks they're going to be the lucky one. Or try hard to be one of the lucky ones. But in fact, more than ninety percent of students will eventually fall off the list. I just see myself more clearly than they do, so the goal I set myself is not in the imperial examination. But like them, I will try to achieve the goals I have set. ”
"Qin Gongzi's goal? Can you say that? ”
"Yes, enough to protect yourself." Qin Feng said softly.
Lu Wenman's eyebrows frowned slightly, and he pondered for a moment: "Grandpa often said that now Dahua is like the sunset. The northwest has been dry for several months this year, and there are already displaced people. The rain in front of us is in the depression downstream, and I am afraid that it will become a flood again. Internal and external difficulties, the world may be in chaos. Grandpa was in a hurry and wanted to expand the academy, recruit more students, and teach more family and country feelings, so that they could grow up. Get rid of treachery, revitalize the dynasty, save the people of Li from fire and water, and help the generals to fall into Dahua. That's why Grandpa wanted to make a name for himself as a dictionary. You and he have been working hard for the goal in their hearts, but if it is really a troubled time, Qin Gongzi, how can you protect yourself? How to be alone? ”
Your grandfather's set won't work! The Ming Dynasty has proved that although civil officials have the heart to save the country, they have no ability to save the country! Even for the sake of fame and power, the leading thermal weapons at that time were degraded to tricks. Knowing that others have a strong offensive power, and criticizing them as soldiers, the murder weapon is also against the holy virtue. In short, the civil officials had a great responsibility for the fall of the Ming Dynasty.
Qin Feng can't trust Dahua's civil officials. Therefore, in troubled times, you can only rely on yourself. But I can't say these words to Lu Wenman.
Qin Feng nodded: "I am willing to let Shilin Academy compile the dictionary, I believe that Shilin Academy will definitely be able to do better." However, Shilin Academy, I also have to think about what I can give in return. Your grandfather is right, the building will fall, and time will not wait for me. So I'm going to have to hurry up and do my thing. ”
"Thank you Gongzi Qin for making this promise." Lu Wenman smiled.
"My commitment is based on the fact that Shilin College will be rewarded. Miss Lu don't forget, hehe. ”
"Qin Gongzi is really a temperament that does not give up an inch of land. There is no one here on the left and right, Wen Man wants to ask Childe to play a game, how about it? A hint of cunning flashed in Lu Wenman's eyes.
"Match?" Qin Feng was stunned.
"Yes, it's elegant, the air is fresh and the rain is drizzling. It's very suitable for drinking tea and playing at the same time, Qin Gongzi, don't refuse me. Lu Wenman smiled like a flower.
"This bean-sized raindrop, booming, how can it be drizzle?"
"The rain is heavy and the rain is small, in the heart of the child. It's just a game of entertainment and pastime, Qin Gongzi is still afraid of me as a little woman? Lu Wenman couldn't help but smile.
Qin Feng had a kind of embarrassment of being molested by a beautiful woman. Heart, there are not many girls who know how to play, and it is difficult for Qin Feng to see beautiful women playing chess in his previous life. Lu Wenman, most of the time, deliberately played tricks on himself and took revenge for the verbal confrontation just now. Presumably, her chess skills should be very ordinary.
Both men and women, in the face of high-value people of the opposite sex, their IQ will be discounted. Qin Feng forgot that Lu Wenman was born in a literary family.
The maid cleaned up the table and set up the chessboard.
Jia Song, who poked his head out from time to time to look at the other side, saw that his husband and Lu Wenman were about to play against each other, and his eyes widened.
Qin Feng unceremoniously grabbed the black chess piece this time, and recalled Li Changhyuk's layout in his mind, and he looked like it, snapped, and dropped the black piece.
