Chapter 213: The New Year is at a loss

On the twenty-ninth day of the lunar month, snowflakes fell in the sky again. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info Fortunately, it is not the goose feather snow, and there is no strong wind blowing in the city, but it is plain and more poetic.

After breakfast, he put on a thick coat and went out. According to the agreement, Du He began to write poems in the past few days. Today is the last day of the year, and tomorrow is always a time for the children to play.

At this time, many courtiers in the court have had seven days of rest, except for the big court meeting on the first day of the first month, the rest of the time can be arranged to their heart's content. Although Du Ruhui is the secretary of the military department, he can also get a short rest time at this time. When Luo Yan came to Du's house, he was waiting in Duhe's room. I have long heard about Luo Yan's arrangement, and in the first two processes, Du Ruhui also took the school exam for Du He in private, and found that Luo Yan did teach very well.

Parents who don't want their children to be good. Du He is a young son and will not be able to inherit the title in the future, so Du Ruhui naturally hopes that he can become a talent. Now that Luo Yan is teaching, Du Ruhui can't wait to tie Luo Yan to his house in the future.

Today officially began to rest, so Du Ruhui came to see how his son wrote poems.

Seeing Du Ruhui, Luo Yan was not surprised, just said a few words, and pulled Du He over and said, "Today I will start learning to write poetry." In the past few days, you have also learned a lot of allusions and the rhythm of poems. Today is not very demanding, based on what you have memorized before, write a five-word poem about snow. Don't worry about writing badly, after all, you're writing poetry for the first time. ”

There was no pressure at all, and Du He naturally had nothing to worry about. After thinking about it for a long time, I kept writing and scribbling on the paper. And Luo Yan and Du Ruhui were talking and waiting.

It's only half an hour, and Du He shouted excitedly: "Grandpa, Assistant Teacher Luo, I'll do a good job, you come and see." "I think it's the little guy's first poem, and it took a lot of effort to paint it. At this moment, I wrote it and actually transcribed it on new paper, and this time I brought it to the two of them.

Writing a poem in half an hour may be a bit slow for adults. But for a child like Du He, who is writing poetry for the first time, the speed is already quite good. Luo Yan and Du Ruhui smiled at each other, and then took the paper presented by Du He. In order to take care of Du Ruhui, Luo Yan still read the poem first.

"The year is cold, and the moon is still falling and the snow is still drifting.

It also falls with the wind, and the sun is not afraid to disappear.

The feet are close to the leaves and the flowers are gone.

Now it's even more different from yesterday, and I'm looking forward to the Ming Dynasty for a long time. ”

This is a poem imitating the poet Yin Keng of the Northern and Southern Dynasties. However, Du Ruhui did not plant plum trees in his home, so Du He only wrote about snow. Even so, the parody is decent. Of course, the problem is not that there is nothing, or that the structure is not very compact, but Luo Yan is also quite surprised that he has reached this level of poetry for the first time.

Not to mention how Luo Yan was, Du Ruhui was very excited at this time. This is his son's first poem, although it is imitated, but it is clear that the traces of imitation are not heavy, and it is also out of the original artistic conception and unfolds the outline alone. Although I still have to read the whole poem through association, I am more than a cut above the level of many children I know.

Brushing his beard, Du Ruhui praised: "Assistant Teacher Luo's teaching method is really beyond my expectations. I didn't expect that the child would have such a level of poetry for the first time. Alas, it's a pity that you have already become an official, otherwise you would be tied up, and I will also tie you up to teach this unsuccessful child. ”

Being able to get Du Ruhui's praise, Luo Yan was still quite happy in his heart. Of course, there can be no less politeness: "Where did Du Shangshu say, isn't this being taught." To put it mildly, I'm afraid he is the only one who can bother to teach like this in this life. I hope he will live up to my hard work in the future. With the initial results, Luo Yan didn't want to be fake at the moment, but it was true to say that he was tired.

Du Ruhui naturally knew what Luo Yan meant, and said with a smile: "If it were someone else, I wouldn't believe it, but when I met you, I believed half of it." Among us, you're notoriously lazy. You won't be able to do such tiring things in the future. ”

After chatting with Du Ruhui for a few more words, Luo Yan began to comment on Du He's poems very seriously, and Du Ruhui didn't say a word at this time, quietly listening to Professor Luo Yan's content.

For a whole day, Luo Yan only trained Du He to write three poems, but after repeated revisions, Du He's three poems have reached a considerable level. Even if you take it out to deal with the general literary meeting, you won't fall into the inferior. Seeing the end, Du Ruhui was lamented by Luo Yan's knowledge on the one hand, and surprised by his unusual teaching method on the other. He didn't know Du He's qualifications, and Du Ruhui couldn't believe that he could have such results.

After a tired day, Luo Yan fell asleep when he returned home.

The next day, because he didn't have to go to Du Mansion again, Luo Yan went to his teacher's house. At this time, Lu Dunxin had been here for two or three days, just because he had been with Du He for the past few days, and he didn't have time to come to visit. It just so happens that everyone is idle on this day, so we can have a good chat.

I haven't seen each other for a year, but the relationship is still so familiar. When Luo Yan found Lu Dunxin, he and Lu Deming were chatting in the study. When he saw Luo Yan come in, he happily beckoned Luo Yan to sit down.

"When I came to Beijing, I heard that you made a bet with someone, haha. Your name has also spread among us foreign officials. Lu Dunxin deliberately teased Luo Yan, so he took out this mess and said. And Lu Deming, who was over and over again, laughed and scolded angrily: "Such an adult, and still do that little righteous act." If it weren't for His Majesty's private greeting to both of you this time, I'm afraid you wouldn't have been able to settle this matter. ”

Although he was scolding, the relationship in the words was not lacking. Luo Yan touched his head and said with some embarrassment: "Let the teacher and senior brother laugh." Now that I think about it, I was a little impulsive. But at this point, I can only teach Na Duhe well, and the past few days have also had some results, so I can rest easy. ”

Hearing what Luo Yan said, the two were also a little curious, so they asked to talk about Du He's current achievements. After Luo Yan read out the three poems yesterday one by one, Lu Deming also breathed a sigh of relief and said: "Although it is not superior, it is not bad for a nine-year-old immature child to make such a poem." However, there is still a gap between the tie and the end of the year, and you still need to work hard after the year. Although it can only be a draw at that time, it is still best to have fewer means. ”

Nodding, Luo Yan responded.

After talking about the bet, Lu Deming shifted the topic to another matter.

"Come in, Ying'er will be out of the cabinet after a while."

The sudden words caught Luo Yan off guard. Subconsciously asked, "Teacher, who do you say is going to leave the cabinet?" ”

"Ying'er."

A moment of silence ensued.

Luo Yan was suddenly a little confused. Hearing this news stirred up a huge wave in his heart. I haven't seen her for a few years, and the little girl who was a little naughty and willful and a little clever behind her has grown up to be out of the cabinet. Thinking back to Lu Deming's harsh criticism when they met for the first time, I remembered taking the little girl to wander around in the East and West markets, and I also thought of the two of them holding a bunch of food.

Scenes of past events surfaced in his mind, making Luo Yan very uncomfortable.

Luo Yan has always pampered Ying'er as his little sister. I didn't expect to get the news in the end, and my heart was a little sour. This is no longer a normal brother's feelings for his sister.

After being silent for a while, Luo Yan asked, "Who is the husband's family?" ”

Master Lu Deming naturally knew that this topic was a bit heavy, and Rong Luoyan was silent for a long time. Hearing him ask at this moment, he replied: "Assistant Teacher Kong's nephew is also in his early twenties this year. Although I didn't get into you as well, I also read poetry and books since I was a child. When you were in Youzhou, his family traveled thousands of miles to Huizhou to propose marriage. Because of the geographical relationship, it has been delayed until now. We were just discussing, if we could, we would take advantage of this New Year's month that everyone was in Chang'an to get married. ”

The daughter belongs to someone else, where can Luo Yan have the right to object. And the matter has come to this point, Lu Deming told him that he obviously didn't want to let himself be entangled in this matter.

With a long sigh, Luo Yanqiang said with a smile: "It seems that the disciple needs to prepare a gift. How to say that Ying'er is also my niece, if you don't have some preparation, it won't be good to be seen as a joke. The words were a little slow, at this time Luo Yan's heart turned over the river, and he had to make his smile a little natural, where could it be as usual.

The three of them talked a lot about Ying'er's marriage, and in the end, Luo Yan felt a little numb. I don't know how long it took, when Luo Yan felt that he couldn't stay any longer, so he got up and left, leaving Lu Deming and his son behind.

"Grandpa, it's uncomfortable to look at like this." Lu Dunxin was silent for a while and said to Lu Deming.

"Well, I don't know what you're talking about. It's just that there are too many things between them. Not to mention anything else, the seniority that my Confucianism pays attention to is a hurdle. Others can ignore this, but we can't ignore it. If Ying'er is allowed to follow him, it will hurt him. He is destined to be a person who can do great things, and it is not advisable to indulge in the private relationship between men and women for a while. ”

"But that's not the way to go. At that time, he studied hard in the mountains for three years. Now like this, do you want him to continue to waste three years? Looking at his appearance, it would be a pity if he resigned again and returned to his hometown. In the stone forest, he has just taken his first step. ”

"Rest assured. Even if he wants to, there are many people and things that force him to go on well. However, it is indeed time to find him a family affair. But when I think about his future, it's really hard to decide. ”

Lu Deming said this, and began to be silent. (To be continued.) )
