In mid-autumn and August, osmanthus flowers are fragrant. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 ｉｎｆｏ

The former owner of the courtyard seems to be particularly fond of osmanthus, and a large golden osmanthus is planted in the courtyard, and most of the potted plants on the platform in front of the east wing are osmanthus.

The golden osmanthus flowers bloom in the courtyard, and the courtyard is full of rich osmanthus fragrance. The golden osmanthus flowers are golden, the fragrance of the flowers is the most lush, the leaves are thick green, the ornamental value is the highest among the many osmanthus flowers, and it is also the most widely planted in the Great Song Dynasty.

But the previous owner of the courtyard obviously not only favored Jin Gui, but also liked Dan Gui and Four Seasons Gui very much.

The bonsai on the platform of the east wing room are basically red cinnamon and four seasons cinnamon. The original pile osmanthus grows vigorously, the knotted branches are very long, and the bonsai made is not compact, and because the bonsai often grows slowly and prunes less, sometimes it does not bloom at all!

Therefore, the osmanthus potted plants in Zhonghao Courtyard are all grafted with rootstocks made of old pile tassels. The osmanthus roots and branches grafted by the old tassel pile have different shapes, and they are very much liked by Zhong Hao.

The aroma of osmanthus is the most elegant and quiet, and Zhong Hao likes it very much. In Zhong Hao's east wing, he moved into a pot of osmanthus bonsai. Every day when he sleeps, Zhong Hao falls asleep smelling the elegant and quiet sweet fragrance of Dangui. As for the four seasons, the aroma is the lightest, but it blooms the most persistently, from autumn to spring, only in summer. Zhong Hao planned to put a pot of small leaves of four seasons osmanthus in the house in winter, and continued to sleep in the fragrance of osmanthus flowers.

It can be said that the reason why Zhong Hao originally wanted this yard was very related to the fact that there were many osmanthus potted plants in this yard.

The pomegranate in front of the door of the west wing is also almost ripe, the huge pomegranate is red on the outside and yellow on the inside, most of them are cracked open large or small, and the inside is revealing a brilliant fruit like a ruby.

The small courtyard was full of life.

……

Every day when I go to the long pavilion, I still meet Cui Lao, and Zhong Hao will always play a few games with Cui Lao.

At the beginning, Liu Xu's sword took a biased way to always win Cui Lao, and later Cui Lao continued to ponder and deduce Zhong Hao's chess moves, but gradually reversed the disadvantage, and gradually won a few games against Zhong Hao.

Zhong Hao knew that his chess strength was actually slightly inferior to Cui Lao, and the more Cui Lao became familiar with his chess path, it would be difficult for him to win again. Fortunately, Zhong Hao has seen a lot of chess games summarized by later generations, and it is difficult for Cui Lao to fully understand his chess path for a while.

Cui Lao himself is also a person who loves to win by surprise, seeing Zhong Hao's endless tricks, he can't help but feel itchy, and he waits for Zhong Hao to play by the long pavilion early every day.

Although there are different things every day, Zhong Hao goes for a run every morning to exercise, rain or shine.

Recently, I feel that my physical fitness has improved recently, and my body has become much stronger.

Today is the Mid-Autumn Festival, and it is rare for Xu to let Zhong Hao rest for a day and not have to study at home. Before Zhong Hao went out today, he took the manuscripts of "The Three Character Classic", "Liweng Rhyme" and "Sound Rhythm Enlightenment" that he had written, and planned to go to Zhou Xueqian Street to find a bookseller and talk about publishing after exercising.

When Zhong Hao ran to the long pavilion by the Wannian Bridge, Cui Lao was already waiting under the long pavilion. At this time, I was deducing a few games of chess with a few chess friends yesterday with Zhong Hao.

Cui Lao saw Zhong Hao and smiled: "Yo, you kid is here, I thought you wouldn't come to the Mid-Autumn Festival today!" Hurry up, Malier sit down, and see that the old man doesn't kill you today! ”

Zhong Hao and Cui Lao play chess every day, they have been chess friends for so long, they have long been familiar with each other, and they have long lost their scruples when they speak, and after listening to Cui Lao's words, they said with a smile: "Exercise is to persevere, rain or shine, how can you not come." Hey, don't talk big about it yet, but don't flash to the old waist. ”

"Hehe, the old man just came up with a few moves, and he will show them later, so I am sure that I can win against you kid."

"Old man, you are so old, you should also reach the age of 'watching the flowers bloom and fall in front of the court, and wandering with the clouds outside the sky', why are you still so competitive in chess."

"Nonsense, of course playing chess is to win, why are you not enterprising, and 'watching the flowers bloom and fall in front of the court, and wandering with the clouds outside the sky', you kid wants to be a hermit. Let me tell you, those who go to the mountains to be hermits are people who have no ability and can't get along. Hurry up and play chess. ”

Zhong Hao sat at the chess table and began to play against Cui Lao. Cui Lao is proud of his identity, although he has lost more and won less recently, but he is unwilling to take advantage of the first, and it is still Zhong Hao who takes the lead. Zhong Hao is young and has no identity, so there is no pressure to take the lead, so he is naturally happy to take advantage of this.

In the first game, Cui Lao really used a few new tricks, Zhong Hao didn't notice it, and he was ambushed, which really let Cui Lao win. However, in the next two games, Zhong Hao was much more cautious, step by step, no longer deceived by Cui Lao, Cui Lao saw that Zhong Hao was not fooled, so he had to put up a dignified soldier and fight Zhong Hao head-on, but at this time, Zhong Hao used the strange tricks learned from the chess games of later generations, and succeeded in sneak attacks again and again, and the last two games ended with Zhong Hao winning.

Zhong Hao couldn't help but smile proudly: "Look at it, keep a normal heart, don't deliberately pursue victory or defeat, in order to be invincible, this is called no desire is rigid." ”

"Let your kid win by luck, where do you say so much? However, your two sentences just now, 'watching the flowers bloom and fall in front of the court, and wandering with the clouds outside the sky' seem to be a bit talented. Will you go to the Nanyang poetry meeting tonight? Seeing that you can make a few crooked poems, you might as well make a few poems for everyone to evaluate, and maybe you can earn a name for talent. "Recently, when Cui Lao and Zhong Hao played chess, they occasionally chatted, Zhong Hao talked elegantly, quite insightful, and occasionally could export chapters, Cui Lao appreciated him more and more.

"Poetry, the kid can't do it, the poetry is to cultivate sentiment, and the meaning of comparison is inferior. But tonight's poetry meeting, the kid wants to go and see it, hehe, the Oiran Contest can't be missed. Actually, Zhong Hao is looking forward to watching Ye Yihan's performance tonight.

Cui Lao scolded with a smile: "The previous sentence of your kid is quite like that, but the latter sentence exposes your kid's nature, hehe, but people are not romantic teenagers, I want to be when the old man is young...... Hey hey ......"

"You are old and strong now, you can show your style and flow tonight, and fold a few flowers." A pear blossom pressing begonia' is also a good story! ”

"Ahem, ahem...... On the side, is the old man like that? Sound and entertainment, how to be as clear as a game of chess. Playing against each other is the way to self-cultivation. The sound of dogs and horses, that will only make people more impetuous and frivolous, not the way to cultivate oneself. I advise you to stay away from sensual dogs and horses,"

Cui Lao was not finished with chess today, and asked Zhong Hao: "If today's Mid-Autumn Festival, your snack shop shouldn't be busy, don't you need to rush back to help?" Do you want to talk about a game again? ”

"Three games a day, thunder can't move, the kid is a person with integrity."

"Hey, you kid! Say you're fat, you're still panting! Somehow, Cui Lao's original graceful and majestic bearing disappeared in front of Zhong Hao.

Cui Lao sighed secretly: The one who is close to Zhu is red, and the one who is close to ink is black, how can the old man speak in the same tone as this stinky boy. In fact, as the patriarch of the big family, Cui Lao needs to have a graceful and majestic bearing on weekdays in order to convince all kinds of people in the family. It's too casual, and it's hard to manage a family as big as the Cui family. But in front of Zhong Hao, a young man who has a plain life, he can put down his mask, and his true life is a relaxing enjoyment. Therefore, Cui Laocai likes to play chess with Zhong Hao more and more.

"Hehe, the kid is really in trouble today! I forgot to play chess just now, and I remembered it when you said it. The kid has a few manuscripts, and he plans to talk to a bookseller about printing and publishing, and the kid is still counting on these manuscripts to make money to support his family, which is a big deal, and he can't be delayed. ”

Cui Lao scolded with a smile: "Originally, a smart boy just didn't have to be on the right path. Since ancient times, farmers and businessmen have been at the end. If you don't take the upright road of reading and taking exams, you have to use it on crooked ways and think about how to make money all day long. Just like you play chess, you always like to go off the rails. ”

Cui Lao often plays chess and chats with Liu Xu these days, and Zhong Hao is free and natural in front of him, so Cui Lao likes to chat with him very much, and he feels quite a match. And Zhong Hao comes from later generations, can jump out of the shackles of the times to look at problems, and often can say some thought-provoking opinions, sometimes Cui Lao didn't feel anything at the time, and when he went back, he thought about it, but the more he thought about it, the more reasonable it became.

Cui Lao once asked people to investigate Zhong Hao, and found that the stir-fried vegetables and soju of the 'Natural Residence', which is now in hot business, were actually taught by Zhong Hao to the Natural Residence, and the secret method of making ice in the summer of the 'Xu Ji Food Shop' is also said to be the secret method found by Zhong Hao from a lost ancient book, and he couldn't help but take a look at Zhong Hao again.

It is precisely because of this that Cui Lao Cai disagrees with Zhong Hao's disagreement with Zhong Hao's lack of study, but he thinks about how to make money in business all day long, and feels that a good smart person is not used on the right road, so he can't help but have the heart to advise.

"Your old sentence is wrong, how can it become a crooked way to make money in business? The sage has a cloud: no agriculture is unstable, no business is not rich, it can be seen that the sage has never despised the merchants. Just like my Great Song Dynasty, the production of the north and the south is different, if there is no business travel, the goods cannot pass through the north and the south, and the goods cannot be used to the fullest. The southerners have no use for chariot and horse leather, and the north has no silk tea. It can be seen that business is very important to Da Song Shi. Without business, it will be difficult for my Great Song Dynasty to make the country rich and the people strong. Zhong Hao is one of the few people who dares to directly refute Cui Lao, and dares to directly say that Cui Lao is wrong.

Cui Lao was not annoyed, but he pretended to be angry: "I wanted to persuade you to study well, but you are full of crooked reasoning, and you are angry with the old man!" In fact, Cui Lao thought about Zhong Hao's words, but he felt that it was very reasonable, his family already had countless businesses, so he naturally understood the importance of business. This young man has a special idea, but he is a talent, and he will investigate more in the future, Cui Lao couldn't help but think. In an agrarian society, few people can see the importance of business so clearly. Because in the era of official position, power is the most important, and for individuals, studying and becoming a professional is also the best way to gain social status. But from a macro perspective, business is indeed crucial to promoting the prosperity of the country and the strength of the people.

ps: I recommend to you the work of this friend Han Shui Ballad "Shen Cong Ji", a book with great writing, the author has a very high foundation in ancient literature, you can take a look if you are interested.
