On the other side of the painting boat, the old man surnamed Li, who was scolded by Gao Yanei for meddling, was sitting on the table with a group of people at the moment, and the table was full of all kinds of exquisite dishes, but no one put down the chopsticks, everyone had a solemn look, exchanged glances with each other, and finally looked at the old man sitting in the middle.

Someone finally spoke: "Li Xiang, now the situation in the north is complicated, and the war is about to break out, but the attitude of the officials is still unclear, and if it drags on like this, it will cause trouble sooner or later, but if this matter is said by us, we will inevitably be scolded as a party rebel again......"

The old man shook his head and said: "It's not a matter of one day or two days, since you and I are sitting in this position, how can there be a reason not to be scolded, Zijin, you still have a lot of tempering and sharpening, and the official family is not willing to express his position easily, this is a good thing for the court, the way to weigh up, Jane is in the emperor's heart."

The imperial court has emphasized civil affairs over military affairs over military affairs over these years, which has greatly weakened the combat effectiveness of the border army, but this is not anyone's fault, since Taizu's cup of wine released the military power, the situation has been like this, the official family has mastered the artifact of social discipline, light conscription, thin taxation, careful order, and Fumingtang, all of which are good things for the benefit of the country and the people, you guys, it is only one-sided to see it......"

"We don't dare to discuss the affairs of the official family, but now that the ministers are in charge, those with lofty ideals have no chance to show their talents, which is a great harm! Even Li Xiang, you are also hindered everywhere......" The young man known as Zijin said this, and seemed to say what everyone wanted, and the hall suddenly fell silent.

The old man's brows furrowed when he heard this, his face became serious, and he said in a deep voice, "How can you say this?" ”

"Everyone understands the truth that trouble comes from the mouth, and they just complain in front of Li Xiang, how dare they say it."

"Zijin is also a naked heart, and Xiangye should not be blamed."

"Yes, everyone dares to be angry but doesn't dare to speak, and they are all waiting for Xiangye to come out and administer justice."

"You guys." The old man surnamed Li sighed, "Shen Ji has been suffering from chronic diseases, and the disadvantages have been accumulated for a long time, how can it be solved by punishing one or two people, this kind of idea is too whimsical, it is tantamount to drinking water to quench thirst, you are the students taught by my Li Gang, you should not be so narrow-minded, whether this matter is true or not, don't mention it again." ”

"Students understand."

Everyone responded, but as for whether they really understood or were forced by the situation, they didn't know.

Between the words, a few fireworks suddenly rose in the night sky outside, which were extremely gorgeous, causing the women on the painting boat to stop and look at them for a while, and there were heated discussions.

The old man just glanced at it, then withdrew his gaze, shook his head, and beckoned the others to start eating, and the food on the table was almost cold.

On the other side, a woman came over with a guqin, and began to play music for everyone through the bead curtain.

The east wind blooms thousands of trees at night, and blows down, and the stars are like rain......

BMW carved cars are full of fragrance. The sound of the phoenix flute moved, and the light of the jade pot turned into a night of fish and dragon dancing......

The woman's voice was tactful, and she sang this song that he had never heard before, and the old man was slightly stunned, then turned his head sideways and listened carefully.

This poem was composed in the first year of Chunxi in the Southern Song Dynasty, when the powerful enemy pressed the border and the country's power was declining, but the ruling class of the Southern Song Dynasty did not want to recover. Xin Qiji, who has insight into the situation, wants to make up for the sky, but he has no way to ask for help, and his passion, sadness, and resentment are intertwined into this Yuanxi search map.

In a sense, it is very similar to the current old man surnamed Li, and the two have an emotional resonance across time and space, so that when the old man heard the last sentence, 'suddenly looking back, that person is in the lamplight', he had gently closed his eyes, and his lips trembled slightly.

Most of the people present were really talented and learned, and of course they heard the subtlety of this poem.

"As soon as this "Qingyu Case" comes out, I am afraid that no one will be able to surpass it in the words of Yuan Xi after that."

"Joy and sorrow, love is difficult to suppress in the depths, this person has written a word of love."

"It's a pity, I heard that this person is a son-in-law, surnamed Yang Minglin, so talented, but he can't help us, it's a pity."

After hearing this, the old man surnamed Li also frowned slightly, the word son-in-law is still obviously different in the hearts of people in this era.

It's just that the next moment, I heard him shake his head and say with a smile: "To be able to write such words, it shouldn't be willing, maybe there is something hidden that everyone doesn't know." ”

"Maybe, after all, in this world, there are too many people who have never met talents."

The topic came back around, the atmosphere became solemn again, there was silence between each other, even the old man fell into a deep thought, and after a long time, the sound of the piano had quietly disappeared.

……

The woman's face was covered with a white veil, holding a guqin in her arms, and she walked down the corridor of the painting boat with her head down, and there was a burst of laughter and laughter around her from time to time, as well as the sound of staggering, but she seemed to be still immersed in the poem just now, deaf to all this, and just walked quietly.

After she came out of the alum building, she had tried her best to avoid things related to it, but in it, where could she avoid it if she wanted to, the love left by Li's mother at the beginning, and the love she owed over the years, there was still a lot to repay.

For example, now, when the business is booming during the New Year's holidays, she still promises others to come over to deal with the scene, although she just plays the piano and sings songs, but after all, she still goes back to her old job, fortunately, she thinks clearly in her heart, and there is not much resistance, and she can earn money to subsidize the family, which is actually very good.

When she was playing and singing in the room just now, she happened to be thinking about it, maybe she was affected by this song, she remembered the days when she was by Li's mother's side before, and then she remembered some happy and unhappy things.

After saying hello to the person in charge here, and receiving today's salary, Master Li changed into the clothes he had when he came back, but he was not in a hurry to go back, but walked to the side of the boat and looked up into the distance.

When I was playing just now, I saw fireworks outside, and although it was nearing the end, it was still beautiful.

In the years in Bianjing, she has been accustomed to this kind of life, there is a peaceful and peaceful side, there is also a noble side, the court is compassionate and open-minded, the people live and work in peace and contentment, if there are no natural disasters and man-made disasters, maybe everyone will live a peaceful life like this, and it is actually good to think about it.

The fifteenth moon was very round, hanging high overhead, and the woman looked up at the night sky, watching the fireworks coincide with the Qiong Yue, and she was stunned for a long time......
