Maybe I've been hungry for too long, this soup tastes extraordinarily fragrant, smells sweet, the entrance is soft, and the stomach is warm, and after a while, a thin layer of sweat appears on the body, and I feel that the cold I have suffered in the past few days has been discharged, which is very comfortable. Later, I must ask Pan'er how this soup is boiled, and I will boil it for Sister Yuzhen to drink when I turn around, she has suffered so much from the wind and cold, and I don't know what is going on now? I heard Aunt Meng say that if she goes to Biyun Division, she will be a subordinate, so will she be bullied? And Sister Shangyi, for my sake, ran to intercede with Aunt Meng, will she be summoned again to make things difficult?

Just as he was thinking about it, he saw Pan'er and another slightly taller maid humming and carrying a wooden barrel in. Meng Yuchu took a look at this maid and saw that she looked equally delicate and lovely, and her hands were even more slender and white. Seeing Meng Yuchu looking at herself, the maid hurriedly put down the wooden barrel to give her a salute, and her silver bell-like voice fluttered softly: "Ping'er has seen the girl!" ”

It sounds so good! Meng Yuchu sighed secretly and said with a smile: "No need to be polite, you can go and get busy!" Ping'er saluted her again, and then ran with Pan'er to fetch water.

In just two days, she has experienced the treatment of ice and fire, and the ups and downs of the world are nothing more than that, right?!

The same building pavilion, the same corridor winding path, different from the exquisite and elegant previous buildings, the pavilions here are more simple and simple, and the pavilions are more solemn and quiet. At the beginning of Meng Yuchu, with the two maids walking all the way, there are inscriptions on the pillars on both sides from time to time, which is more like a place where a great sage and bachelor live in seclusion.

Walking to a corridor column, Meng Yuchu saw that there were inscriptions on the left and right sides, one question: "Look at the things of the world", and the corresponding inscription on the corridor pillar: "Read the world's books", which is a pair of doors. Walking to the next row of columns, I saw the left and right titles: "Look down on the things of the world, often read the world's books", it is a pair of words, interesting! Going further, it is the right to add words: "Self-cultivation looks down on human affairs, and often reads books in the world", Meng Yuchu couldn't help but stop and sigh: "It's really wonderful, the door can also be done like this, it's really interesting!" ”

The two maids looked at each other, although they also knew a few words, but they never felt that there was any fun in chewing words. Seeing Meng Yuchu looking at these pairs with such interest, I really didn't understand what she was talking about. Pan'er said to Meng Yuchu: "The first door pair is inscribed by Mr. Hong'an, and the back is left by several guests who came to visit, and every time those guests will stay here for a long time. ”

In fact, the door pair is just a non-popular way for people to play nowadays, usually more familiar friends are connected together, and Meng Yuchu's father also likes to connect door pairs. He once said to his siblings that the joint door pair not only needs to have extensive knowledge, but also has an open-minded bearing, and those who are obsessed with exploiting tricks do not have this leisurely and leisurely. It seems that this Mr. Hongan is also a learned gentleman, Meng Yuchu can't help but have a good impression of Mr. Hongan, who has not yet met.

A secluded hall, without too much decoration, simple structure, simple furnishings, on the lintel of the three big characters "Hanmo Zhai" vigorous and elegant, everything looks indifferent and atmospheric. The hall was full of bookshelves against the wall, and hundreds of bamboo and wood slips were placed, and Meng Yu was dumbfounded at first. My father's collection of books is already enough, but I didn't expect that there are more than ten times as many books here as my father. Want such a dark and terrifying criminal organization as Condensation Hall to have such a place like a thick book and rhyme academy? It's incredible!

And what kind of person is the owner here?

When the three of them came to the front of the hall, an old man with a hunchback and a wrinkled face greeted him, and the two maids saluted the old man, and Ping'er said: "Uncle Tong, the girl is here, please let Uncle Tong know!" ”

Meng Yuchu stepped forward to salute, but Tong Bo hurriedly stopped and said, "Don't be polite, girl, you don't dare to accept it!" You sit back and wait, and I'll go and tell the master. This Uncle Tong called Mr. Hongan "master", and it seems that he is a slave who follows and serves.

Meng Yuchu sat down and looked around, and saw a line of words inscribed on the wall, "Flowers bloom in a few spring and autumn and new trees are beginning to grow", the handwriting is as elegant and free as flowing water, presumably the person who inscribes is also a person in love, only this sentence, is it ready to be used in conjunction with it?

Seeing Meng Yuchu staring at the words on the wall, Pan'er whispered: "This is what Lord Lanyang asked yesterday, saying that it was to make a couplet." ”

Oh, the upper link, it seems to be asking for the lower link. This uplink depicts the passage of time through the changes of flowers and trees, laments the changes of things, and implies the need to cherish the present. The door pair is different from the rhetoric, which requires the battle to be neat, the artistic conception is similar or opposite, and the upper and lower couplets are best not to appear with the same words. Meng Yuchu stared at Shanglian and thought for a while, then said: "The stone calendar can be obtained in the end, and it can barely be regarded as a lower link." ”

"A good Puyu can be obtained eventually, right, good!" A loud voice came from the back hall, Meng Yuchu looked up, only to see an old man in a gray robe walked in, although his hair has turned gray, but his face is still ruddy, full of energy, the two maids saw the person who came and hurriedly bent down and saluted: "I have seen Mr. Hong'an!" ”

This is Mr. Hung On? There is no imaginary majesty, but like a kind old man. Seeing Mr. Hongan looking at himself, Meng Yuchu got up and saluted, Mr. Hongan smiled and asked, "You also know the door?" ”

"My father likes it very much, so he knows a little bit about it." Meng Yuchu replied modestly.

"That's right! The formation of a piece of jade requires a thousand knives and axes, and sometimes a part of the jade itself must be discarded in order to make a peerless piece. Girl, wow, it seems that you also understand this truth, even if you lose a part of yourself, Meiyu is still Meiyu, and her essence has not changed. After speaking, he looked at Meng Yuchu with a smile and twisted his beard.

Meng Yuchu nodded thoughtfully and replied: "What Mr. said is very true, the little girl has been taught!" ”

"What did you learn at home?" Mr. Hongan continued.

"My father opened a school in the town and taught some enlightenment readings, and my little daughter also studied a little bit with them."

Oh, the little girl is really cautious, she can make such an appropriate connection in the time of half a cup of tea after only reading enlightenment books, and the artistic conception is much higher? Mr. Hongan felt more and more that Meng Yuchu was not simple.

"Have you ever read a song and a lyric?" Mr. Hongan continued.

Meng Yuchu was stunned for a moment, but he had read the words, and he had read some about self-cultivation and pleasure, or the righteousness of the family and the country with his father. For music and the like, my father thinks that most of those songs nowadays are filthy and cause people to think evilly, so he is the most disdainful and never teaches them to contact their siblings. After thinking about it for a while, Meng Yuchu said, "I haven't read it." ”

Mr. Hongan smiled slightly again and asked, "Girl, what do you think of Qule Gefu?" "A Confucian who likes the right door but doesn't read music and lyrics can only show that he is very prejudiced against it, and he really doesn't like it, or even dislikes it! And Meng Yuchu's answer was so cautious, which shows that this little girl is delicate. So Mr. Hongan asked directly to find out what she really thought.

"It's... The little girl has never read it, so she doesn't understand what this music is. ”

"Oh, I really don't know?" Mr. Hongan continued to ask, and Ping'er and Pan'er on the side also felt the embarrassment of the atmosphere, and couldn't help but worry about Meng Yuchu.

"Let Mr. disappoint, the little girl really doesn't understand!" Meng Yuchu lowered his head and insisted on his statement.

"Haha, okay, it seems that the rumors are true!" Mr. Hongan laughed heartily.

Rumors, what rumors? I've only been here for a day, do you mean what happened to Aunt Meng yesterday? This Condensation Hall is really full of people, and everything is spread nonsense! Meng Yu thought darkly.

"The river in the area is like a fold, and it does not stop when it crosses my door; Remembering the children's water, moistening the mouth and pleasing the heart; Nian Nian young man looked into the distance, wet feet to drive away the floating dust...."Mr. Hongan sang to himself.

Meng Yuchu looked up at Mr. Hongan in surprise, this... Didn't you make a little tune yourself last night? How can this Mr. Hongan also sing? Thinking about Pan'er said that Lanyang is the first pen of the music and dance compilation of Ninglutang, then his master must be the first person in music music, no wonder he has been asking his opinion on music lyrics, he should be examining himself, right? He actually knew that he was doing this minor tune, could it... Last night's flute sound has something to do with this Mr. Hongan? Thinking that he knew very little about qu music, but he was facing a qu music master, Meng Yuchu suddenly felt a little ashamed and uneasy.

"Sir, this is the little girl's temporary idea, humming wildly, making you laugh!" Meng Yuchu said nervously.

"Homesickness and dwelling in the river, the artistic conception is far away and tactful, girl, you still say that you don't know music?" Mr. Hongan looked at her meaningfully.

"I really don't understand, father... I have never taught these music and lyrics, but I just composed them according to my heart..."Meng Yu was a little speechless at the beginning of the first year, and he didn't know how to answer.

"Kid, you're very good at music. Do you know how the music came to be in the first place? Seeing Meng Yuchu shaking his head, Mr. Hongan continued: "In fact, Qule lyrics are the same as other words, they are all expressions of emotion, sustenance and thoughts, it can express a person's thoughts, or it can tell a thing, the difference is that Qule words are more simple and popular, and the forms are diverse, so they are loved by the public." There was once an old master Confucius who didn't know the taste of meat in March because he smelled the music of "Shao", which shows that qule music is also among the most elegant and good. It's just that later, in order to please the powerful, many people made a lot of confusing obscene words, making the music cliché and tarnishing the name of the music. From this point of view, Ninglutang can be regarded as a clear spring in this turbid stream, and it can maintain a fresh and maverick style of words, which you will slowly know. ”

Meng Yuchu looked at Mr. Hongan with some disbelief, could it be that his father's previous views were too biased? I have never really understood Qule Gefu, isn't it as evil as I think?

Looking at Meng Yuchu's puzzled expression, Mr. Hongan continued: "In fact, in addition to making people happy, the most important thing is that the original music can guide and educate the people, but now the music has been distorted and corrupted, and some sages and scholars avoid it, probably Ling Zun is the same, right?" Seeing Meng Yuchu bowing his head and pondering, Mr. Hongan sighed and said: "I have compiled repertoire, created songs and composed songs for decades, and it is also painful to see the music transformed into what it is today, but my strength is weak and I can't change anything." Child, are you willing to come with the old man to return the music and songs to give a clean slate? ”

Meng Yuchu's eyes widened, this Mr. Hong'an thinks too highly of himself, he does know how to make some endowments, but Qu Le really doesn't understand, but the old man's earnest feelings are really hard to shirk, so he said with a sad face: "Mr. Hong'an is wrong to love, the little girl really doesn't understand Qu ......."

"Girl, wow, you are so humble, it doesn't matter if you don't understand, as long as you want, the old man can teach you." After Mr. Hongan finished speaking, he looked at Meng Yuchu with a smile, waiting for her reply.

Looking at this kind old man, Meng Yuchu really couldn't find a reason to refuse, recalling what Mr. Hongan just said, if he can really make some good songs to educate the people, it is also a good deed, and it is estimated that his father will not object. Then he stood up and saluted Mr. Hong'an and said, "Mr. Meng will not give up, and the little girl is willing to follow Mr. to follow his strength!" ”

"Good! Good! Mr. Hongan's hearty laughter sounded again, and the whole Hanmo studio was filled with a joyful atmosphere.

"Master, why are you so happy?" A handsome figure came from outside the door, Meng Yuchu looked at it, it was Lan Yang, the two maids were blushing when they saw Lan Yang, and they were busy lowering their heads.

"Oh, Lanyang, you're just in time." Mr. Hongan happily motioned for Lan Yang to come over.

After Lanyang sat down, Mr. Hongan said to him: "Your vision is good, this girl is indeed a manufacturable material, and now I have another talented woman in Fushan Courtyard, hahaha!" ”

Meng Yuchu was puzzled, how could he listen to the meaning of this, it seemed that he was recommended by Lan Yang, but he didn't know Lan Yang before?

"Girl, you first make a pen in my Fushan Courtyard, which is responsible for sorting out these books and repairing some of the damaged ones, and these two maids will assist you in the future, and take care of your diet and daily life, what do you think?"

Meng Yuchu wanted to reject Mr. Hong'an, he could take care of himself and didn't need to be served, but when he saw the expectant eyes of the two maids on one side, he changed his words and said: "Mr. Xie has thought so well for the little girl!" ”

"Lanyang will teach you, but there is no hurry, there is another thing to be done at the moment......" Mr. Hongan said with a smile and a twist of his beard.

"What did you say?" Meng Yuchu asked puzzled.

"Even if you come to Fushan Courtyard, you need a name, otherwise as long as you leave Fushan Courtyard, you will be in danger." Mr. Hongan is colorful.

Meng Yuchu sighed again in his heart, it seems that this level can't be avoided!

"At the beginning of your name, your father hoped that you would not forget your original intention, but if you want to keep your original intention, you must make yourself outstanding in order to resist external interference and protect your heart. The old man gave you the name 'Zhuo Xi', hoping that you will be outstanding, like the morning sun, weak at first, and more and more intense in the future, are you willing? ”

Meng Yuchu was astringent, her father named her and taught her out of love for his daughter, and what was the reason why Mr. Hongan gave her a name and placed high hopes on her? Pity? Or did the kind old man really want her to follow her?

A warmth lingered in his heart, Meng Yuchu got up with tears in his eyes and bowed to Mr. Hong'an, and said in a trembling voice: "Little girl...... Mr. Xie gave the name! From today on, my name will be Zhuo Xi! After speaking, Meng Yuchu, no, it was Zhuo Xi who was already in tears.

"Haha, okay, as long as you want, from today on, you will be a member of my Fushan Academy. This is Lan Yang, you should have already seen him, he is older than you, you can call him brother. ”

"Congratulations to Miss Zhuo Xi!" Lan Yang smiled and arched his hand towards Zhuo Xi.

Zhuo Xi hurriedly got up and saluted back: "In the future, I will ask my brother to teach me more!" ”

Mr. Hongan twisted his beard and said with a smile: "The stone calendar can finally get a few square rounds of jade, haha, the old man also got a jade today!" ”

Lan Yang looked at Mr. Hongan in surprise and said, "Master's next link has been made?" The disciple has been taught! ”

"I didn't do it, it was this Zhuo Xi girl who did it!"

"Really? Is it really what Miss Zhuo Xi did? From then on, I'll have to ask Miss Zhuo Xi for more advice! Lan Yang looked at Zhuo Xi's eyes with a different look......

"Okay, Zhuo Xi just came today, go down first and have a good rest, and come back to Lanyang early tomorrow morning." Mr. Hongan raised his hand and said.

Zhuo Xi led the two maids to say goodbye, Lan Yang looked at their backs and said to Mr. Hongan: "Let Zhuo Xi move over without Master's permission, and ask Master for forgiveness!" ”

Mr. Hongan smiled and patted Lan Yang's shoulder and said: "I can be a good person, not afraid of power, not tempted, and keep my heart, it is rare to see such a woman with character, but her temperament is a little straight, you can take her more in the future." ”

Lan Yang then asked, "Is Master willing to take her as an apprentice?" ”

Mr. Hongan glanced at Lan Yang, twisted his beard and said, "You should first ask what this Zhuo Xi girl means, this girl has a strong temper and has her own opinions, if she is unwilling, even if the teacher agrees, it is useless." Don't rush, take your time. You send someone to make her name first, and then she will be put on the list. ”

Lan Yang nodded seriously, remembering her singing last night, Lan Yang's eyes had a layer of deep meaning......
