Chapter 35: Mutual Speculation
Li Feifei was a little tired after turning around a few times, and she thought of the pavilion to sit and rest for a while. When I came to the pavilion, I saw an old man with a long beard sitting there, thinking about something.
Isn't this the old man with a long beard that the old man who pulls the erhu said?
Li Feifei put her hands behind her back, staggered to the long-bearded old man, and joked politely: "May I ask, do I call you uncle, or do I call you uncle?" ”
The long-bearded old man is none other than Dong Zhongshu.
Dong Zhongshu saw a beautiful girl standing in front of him. She had jet-black hair, and she had a bun on her head, and a hairpin with beaded flowers on her bun, and it was beautiful to stand there with tassels swaying in the wind and floating in the air. Her skin is fair, her eyebrows are slender and picturesque, her eyes are shining like stars, and there is a small mouth under the bridge of her small nose, her lips are thin, and the corners of her mouth are slightly curved upwards and she always smiles. There is also a beautiful mole between the eyebrows, a real big beauty.
It's a big beauty, but the questions raised are a bit unpleasant.
Dong Zhongshu looked Li Feifei up and down, and when the two looked at each other, they saw Li Feifei smiling, really smiling. That cute appearance can't allow Dong Zhongshu to be unhappy.
Dong Zhongshu also smiled and said: "Whatever you call me, if you think I look like an uncle, call me uncle, and if I look like an uncle, call me uncle." ”
Li Feifei thought for a while, and then analyzed: "From a distance, you have a long beard, just like an uncle; When I got closer, I saw that you were red and energetic, and your skin was still as smooth as jade, just like an uncle. It seems that you are a person who makes others wonder what to do. If you think about it, it's better to call you uncle, call you younger, you will be more energetic, your mood will be better, and you will be happy to meet the ...... of others when others ask you."
When Dong Zhongshu heard that there was something wrong with this girl, he wanted to ask him for help, first coax him to be happy, and then when he was happy, he would satisfy others with everything......
This beautiful girl, looking at her dress, doesn't look like she lacks money or nutrition, what do she want?
"Girl's in trouble? If you are in trouble, you might as well come to my uncle, who is close to the uncle, and see if I can help you? ”
Seeing that this uncle is still very quick in thinking, I'm afraid he is not an ordinary country man, and it will be rewarding to talk to him.
"Uncle, can I sit down next to you?"
If you want to talk, sit down and have a good talk.
Dong Zhongshu estimated that his conjecture was right, this girl was really troubled and wanted to find someone to talk to.
"Absolutely. I'm just looking for someone to talk to, and it's just right that you're here, so if you don't dislike talking to my uncle, it would be even better. ”
"No problem. However, looking at your face, uncle, the heavenly court is full, your face is plump, and you are not an official, or you are a rich businessman, or you are a scientist, is there still a lack of people to talk to you? If you want to say anything, you start by saying it. ”
If you want him to speak first, what do you say? Dong Zhongshu thought.
Dong Zhongshu looked Li Feifei up and down again, to see what topics she could find to talk about?
On the surface, I couldn't see any topics on her, but her words attracted Dong Zhongshu's attention. He had heard of officials and wealthy businessmen, but he had never heard of scientists. Is this scientist something? Could it be that the young people of this Jiangdu country have a new term?
Dong Zhongshu has a good style of asking questions without shame, and he humbly asked Li Feifei: "Girl, I know about officials, rich businessmen, or anything, but I haven't heard of any scientists. What do you mean by profession as a scientist? ”
Li Feifei thought about it badly, she said the term of the twenty-first century, no wonder the long-bearded old man didn't know.
How can this be explained?
Li Feifei thought for a while about the scientist of the Western Han Dynasty - Zhang Cang. He made the calendar of the Western Han Dynasty, and the "Nine Chapters of Algorithm" he corrected was the greatest contribution to science. He also creatively put forward some mathematical theories, formulated a complete measurement system, and applied these theories to people's livelihood through the way of state power institutions, which had a huge impact on the scientific and technological progress at that time.
Li Feifei wants to use facts to explain, so that it is clear and easy to understand.
"Let's put it this way, you know very well Zhang Cang, right? He figured out the calendar, corrected the nine-chapter arithmetic, and developed a system of measurements, and a scientist like him. There is also Liu An, the king of Huainan, who makes hot air balloons is also the scope of scientists' activities. ”
Dong Zhongshu heard a new term from a girl's mouth, and became interested in the girl in front of him: "I seem to understand, understand that I am not a scientist." I am an apprentice of Confucius and Mencius, who studies Confucianism and human thought, so what family do I belong to? ”
"You belong to the thinker." Li Feifei blurted out.
"Thinkers? Is it thinking about things and people's thoughts? Interesting. So let me think about your thoughts right now? ”
Dong Zhongshu pondered.
"Yes, yes, that's what it means. I think you are a fairy wind bone, you should be a Confucian master, right? Can you think about what I'm thinking now? ”
Li Feifei's tone is not challenging him Dong Zhongshu? See if he is a real thinker and can he guess what others think?
Dong Zhongshu looked at Li Feifei seriously. The girl had a delicate and radiant countenance, and had not suffered much. But now when a person comes out to talk to someone, there must be something annoying.
What's bothering this young man? Seeing her like this, she is full of food and clothing, if you want to say that she has troubles, it is nothing more than the emotions of men and women, maybe her parents want her to marry someone else, but she has someone she likes......
After observing Li Feifei for a while, Dong Zhongshu said that she was emotionally frustrated and couldn't get what she wanted......
After listening to the words of the long-bearded old man, Li Feifei was so impressed that she threw herself to the ground: "You are really a fairy, you can be hit at a glance." Since you can take a fancy to it, there must be a solution, please teach me to get rid of my troubles. ”
Dong Zhongshu heard the girl say that there were really troubles, so he wanted to relieve her worries: "Immortals can't be called, if you talk about your troubles carefully, I may be able to relieve your worries." ”
The noisy sister is here to relax, someone can relieve her sorrows, she can't ask for it. So, she talked to Dong Zhongshu and introduced herself as a noisy girl.
In Dong Zhongshu's memory, there doesn't seem to be a surname with the surname 'noisy', so he asked the noisy sister: "Is there a noisy surname?" ”
The noisy sister explained to Dong Zhongshu that she was not a troublemaker, but her mother had no milk when she was a child, and as soon as she smelled milk, she made a fuss about eating other people's milk. Some stingy women don't give her food, and she cries and makes noise. She cried so loudly that she could be heard miles away. Others were embarrassed, so they had to let her eat. So everyone gave her a nickname - Troublesome Sister.
Talking about the interesting things when she was a child, the noisy girl laughed herself, and asked Dong Zhongshu with a smile: "Immortal, I was fun when I was young, right?" ”
Dong Zhongshu listened to the narration of the noisy girl, and really imagined a little girl in his mind, clamoring to eat other people's milk, and really smiled.
Dong Zhongshu smiled and said, "You are such a cheerful girl, how can you have troubles, so that no one will believe it." ”
Dong Zhongshu didn't want to directly ask about the troubles of the troublesome sister, so he used the method of agitation.
The agitation method really worked, and the noisy sister talked about her troubles: "Let me ask you, if you are a girl, your mother wants you to marry your brother, and you have a young man you like, do you say you are annoying?" ”
Dong Zhongshu couldn't believe it, how could there be such a mother? Do you want your daughter to marry her brother? Isn't this incest? How can this work in front of Dong Zhongshu, a Confucian master?
