Chapter 55: Heaven and Earth
The remnant sun shines obliquely, and the tired birds return to the forest. The pool of blue water in the dragon's head pool was wrinkled by the soft spring breeze.
"Hongu has a headache when I hear it!" Princess Taiping frowned in distress, "Wan'er, why is love so complicated and difficult to understand?" One moment like honey and sweetness, and the next moment like torment! Aren't people born to be cheap, obviously so painful, and they still flock to it? β
"Your Royal Highness Princess, it is human nature to pursue love." Shangguan Wan'er replied eloquently, "Actually, 10,000 people have 10,000 love that belongs to themselves, and only you can evaluate the taste, and outsiders are not enough to understand it." The experiences and opinions of others are not entirely suitable for oneself. β
"Then the palace told you that you are going to have a dry mouth and irritable mouth for most of the day, isn't it in vain?" Princess Taiping was even more depressed.
Shangguan Wan'er lowered her eyebrows and chin, "Wan'er is incompetent, she failed to help His Highness!" β
"......" Princess Taiping frowned and gritted her teeth, "You will tell this palace directly, after today's unhappy breakup, should I take the initiative to find him?" β
"This ......" Shangguan Wan'er hesitated for a moment in embarrassment and said, "There is nothing that should or should not be for such things. Her Royal Highness the Princess thinks it is worthwhile, and she can do it; If you don't think it's worth it, you don't have to do it. Of course, the premise is that the queen of heaven will allow it. β
"If you say it, you don't say it!" Princess Taiping snorted dissatisfiedly, "Wan'er, this palace has relied on you and Pan as a confidant, when did you have reservations and refused to tell this palace directly?" β
"Your Highness has misunderstood." Shangguan Wan'er replied, "Really, there is no reason for love, let alone right or wrong. Therefore, Wan'er did not dare to assert that what she did was right and how she was wrong. In this world, I am afraid that no one can tell the right and wrong in love. There has always been only ...... Love, or not love! β
"Oh?" Princess Taiping's eyes lit up, "There is no right or wrong in love, only love or not?" β
"Wan'er is foolish, that's what she thinks!" Shangguan Wan'er replied.
Princess Taiping nodded thoughtfully, "In this way, the palace has decided!" ββGet out of the palace and go to Xue Shao! Shangguan Wan'er bowed her eyebrows and bowed, noncommittal.
Princess Taiping smiled strangely, "This palace wants to pick a suitable time to invite the queen mother, and let you go with me!" β
"......" Shangguan Wan'er was stunned again, I am the personal female official of the Queen of Heaven, but I want to accompany you out of the palace...... Romance and love?
"Are you afraid that the queen of heaven will not allow it?"
Shangguan Wan'er nodded.
"Hey, Hongu has its own tricks!" Princess Taiping smiled mysteriously and confidently, Zhizhu in her hand.
β¦β¦
Night fell quietly.
Xue Shao and Yue Nu turned over and dismounted far away in front of a mansion, and happened to see the door of the mansion wide open, and a carriage drove into the mansion.
"Childe, the time is just right, he is back." Moon Slave Road.
"Good." Xue Shao smiled and nodded, and said in his heart that Xue Yao, the son of Xue Yuanchao, as a doctor of the five grades of the imperial court, did the serious work of supervising the emperor's words and deeds and the gains and losses of Emperor Kuangzheng. In addition, he has Xue Yuanchao, a strict father who attaches great importance to family education, Xue Yao will inevitably return home early after being diligent in his official duties every day, and he will definitely not fool around outside with all day drinking.
This father and son are both well-known for their exemplary conduct and solemn conduct.
"I'll go and ask for a meeting, and you'll wait here." Xue Shao straightened his clothes slightly, and walked towards the gate with a bamboo scroll.
"Yes, Childe." The moon slave led the horse and answered, glancing at the gate and the wall with disdain, and said in his heart, why did the prince deign to come to visit this sour Confucian of the same sect with a gift? How can the gates and walls of the mere gates stop people? It's better to let the moon slave capture the old master alive, and then let him answer obediently!
Xue Shao suddenly stopped and walked back to the moon slave, "Don't be rude!" β
"Ugh! β¦β¦ Be! The neck of the moon slave shrank, and he panicked in his heart, Could it be that Gongzi can hear the voice of others? β¦β¦ Ah, I actually forgot that Childe is a person with supernatural powers, and even ghosts can be subdued!
Xue Shao shook his head helplessly and smiled, the micro-expression on your face is too obvious!
He knocked on the door, and a doorman answered in a few moments.
"Lang Jun came to visit at night, I don't know what to teach?" The doorman was a middle-aged man in his forties, who at first glance did not look like an ordinary servant, but like an elegant old man who had read poetry and books.
"Please ask the elders to pass it on their behalf, just say Fenyin Xue Shao, and specially come to visit his brother Dr. Xue." Xue Shao bowed his hand and said, "Fenyin" is the county wang, the birthplace and residence of the Xue clan in Hedong.
"Qu Zhe Gongzi wait a while, and the old man will go to report." At the mention of Fenyin, the man understood a little bit even if he didn't know Xue Shao, so he said that the son bowed very elegantly and humbly, and turned to leave.
As the saying goes, what kind of owner raises what kind of dog, although this is not to be heard, but the words are not rough. Judging from the demeanor and speech of this official, Xue Yao must be a person who knows elegance and respects etiquette.
The Xue clan of Fenyin, Hedong, especially the Xizu room, is described in the language of later generations as "the etiquette and music are flowing, and the crown is glorious", which means that the door style is rigorous, the family is prosperous, and there are a steady stream of famous ministers and celebrities in all dynasties.
The rigorous style and advocating Confucianism have created the humanistic atmosphere of many wealthy families, and it is also their family heritage of "generations of talents". The Xue family in Hedong is a great family with a heavy wind gate and a family education, and there are many great writers and scholars who are famous today and famous in history.
Among them, the most famous is the "Hedong Sanfeng".
Since the Ming Dynasty, all children who have enlightened and enlightened will read an enlightenment book "Kindergarten Qionglin", which has a sentence that says like this - "Xun brothers, won the reputation of the Eight Dragons; Hedong Bozhong, has the good name of three phoenixes".
The "Three Phoenixes" refers to the three scholars of the Xue family who became famous in the Sui and Tang dynasties - Xue Shui, Xue Deyin and Xue Yuanjing.
Among them, Xue Shui is the head of the three phoenixes, and he is the son of Xue Daoheng, a former Sui celebrity. In his early years, Xue Shui served as a clerk in Li Shimin's Tiance Mansion and joined the army, and was one of the members of Li Shimin's eighteen-degree think tank. He has made many miraculous contributions to Li Shimin, and his literary talent is also famous all over the world. If it weren't for the fact that he died young at the age of thirty-three, Xue Shui's achievements might not be lower than those of Fang Xuanling and Wei Zheng, who were heroes of Zhenguan.
Xue Shui is Xue Yuanchao's father.
Xue Yuanchao took his world-famous father as an example, studied hard and worked diligently as an official, and now he is a powerful minister relied on by the imperial court and a generation of Confucianism who is well-known in the world. He also recommended many poor students with both ability and political integrity to be reused by the imperial court, which can be called the fragrance of peach and plum, protΓ©gΓ©s and former officials all over the world, and scholars and students respect him as "the sect of heaven and earth"!
With a grandfather like Xue Shui and a father like Xue Yuanchao, it is not difficult for Xue Shao to imagine what Xue Yao's character is like.
After a while, two people came out of the house, one was a man who had just answered the door, and the other was an elegant scribe in his thirties and forties, with a calm gait and a slight smile on his face, neither rusty nor affectionate, and walked to the door to bow to Xue Shao, "Chengyu is here, and I can't wait to welcome you far away, and I hope to forgive my sins!" β
"The doctor is serious." Xue Shao replied with a glance, "Shao came uninvited, if there is anything abrupt and reckless, please don't blame." β
"You and I are brothers, you don't have to be an official." Xue Yao smiled slightly, "Chengyu, please!" β
"Brother Clan, please!"
The homes of scholarly families and eunuchs are inevitably cumbersome.
After Xue Shao and Xue Yao exchanged pleasantries for a while, they took out the bamboo tube and took out the sticker, and said: "Don't hide it, the younger brother has a sticker, which is said to be a sticker that Yu Shinan was ordered by Emperor Taizong to recruit a sticker of the Orchid Pavilion Order. Now there are many fakes in the world, and the younger brother is too shallow to identify, so he specially came to ask the clan brother to identify it on his behalf. β
"Oh?" As soon as Xue Yao heard this, his expression, which had been motionless, fluctuated slightly, "What Chengyu said, could it be the Preface to the Yu Orchid Pavilion?" β
"Exactly."
"Take it and show me!"
Xue Shao looked at him with such an impatient look, and immediately smiled in his heart. Righteous gentlemen and moral models like Xue Yuanchao and Xue Yao will neither tend to be inflammatory, nor will they be tempted by wealth and beauty. Only by doing what they like can they get close to it.
Both father and son have an obsessive hobby of calligraphy.
At the beginning of the Jin Dynasty, Wang Xizhi's calligraphy "Wang Zi" became the mainstream, and Emperor Taizong tried his best to push it to the peak. As the saying goes, "if there is good at the top, it will be wilted at the bottom", nine out of ten Tang Dynasty scholars practice and are obsessed with Wang Xizhi's calligraphy.
Yu Shinan is the most great calligrapher of Wang Xi in this dynasty, and at the same time, he is also Li Shimin's calligraphy teacher. After Yu Shinan's death, Chu Suiliang became Li Shimin's confidant and close minister with a calligraphy that was "similar" to Yu Shinan, and then grew into a generation of famous ministers. And Chu Suiliang is Xue Yao's uncle - can he not be moved by Yu Shinan's true works?
Xue Yao spread out the sticker very solemnly and carefully, his expression was solemn and reverent, as if he was worshipping the gods, he tasted it carefully for a long time, he took a deep breath, "Chengyu, this sticker is very likely to be Yu Shinan's authentic handiwork!" β
"Really?" Xue Shao made a surprise gesture.
"I can't go wrong." The stakes were very high, and Xue Yao didn't finish his words, and after thinking for a while, he said, "My father once collected several authentic manuscripts of Yu Shinan. He is an old man, and he will be able to distinguish between the false and the false! β
Xue Shao couldn't help laughing, you are too cooperative! β¦β¦ Of course, this is to be expected. If there is still a person in this world who can authoritatively distinguish the authenticity of this post, it must be Xue Yuanchao, the "Heavenly Sect"!
"Why don't I leave this post here for my clan brother, and take another look when Lord Lingzun is free?" Xue Shao said tentatively.
"No, no!" Xue Yao waved his hand again and again, "If this post is genuine, it should be a treasure of the world, and it is hard to find!" β
Xue Shao smiled, "The friendship of gentlemen is as light as water, since the younger brother can take out this post and ask the clan brother to identify it, it is nothing more than admiring the clan brother's talent, knowledge, and conduct." As for Lord Lingzun, the Tianwen Sect is an example of the Confucian scholars in the world, and Shao has no reason to worry about it! β
"That being said, this post must not be accepted!" Xue Yao was very persistent, and he waved his hand.
"Hey, that little brother ......" Xue Shao smiled bitterly, "I have to ask for another master!" β
"Reputation and slow!" Xue Yao showed a hint of doubt on his face, "Why didn't Chengyu mention a word, and asked his father to identify himself?" β
Xue Shao smiled bitterly twice, "The younger brother doesn't guard the door and doesn't study at home, I'm afraid that Ling Zun won't like to turn him away." Therefore......"
"Chengyu, you're too worried." Xue Yao laughed twice, "If it's convenient, please go to my father's mansion with me now and take a trip!" β
Xue Shao smiled secretly in his heart, he was actually more anxious than me!
It's just a sticker of calligraphy and painting, can I send it to you?.
[Ask for collection, by the way, ask for red tickets! ] γ
