Chapter 20: Reflections on the Silent Night (1)
In a flash, Qin Yi was taken to the back hall, and the matter between Liu Yi and the onlookers outside had nothing to do with him.
As Qin Yi guessed, in the back hall, there was not something to entertain him as Liu Ai had said. Obviously, Liu Yi has been hiding it from the outside world, and he wants to keep himself here and talk to himself alone afterwards.
Or in other words, Liu Yi has to avoid people's eyes and ears, and letting Qin Yi get away from everyone's shouting and shouting can be regarded as a protective move, which makes Qin Yi's impression of Liu Yi have changed. It seems that this Liu Ai has an ambition for "Qingxiang Medical Book", otherwise he would not have made a 180-degree turn in his attitude after he showed his poetic talent.
Although he said that, Qin Yi was not relaxed at all, but was a little worried. He knew that some of the requirements of the Yiwen meeting friends, although after thinking about it, there were so many poems written in the name of Chinese medicine, but in case of other requirements, such as writing a poem with the name of a designated medicine, it would be difficult to say.
After all, Qin Yi didn't have a thorough understanding of the cultural meeting that Liu Yi was going to participate in.
The servants had already left, closing the door to the back hall. Qin Yi was a little bored in his heart, so he paced up in the back hall.
The back hall is exquisitely furnished, and it seems to have been specially set aside for Liu Ai, but after all, it is located in the medical hall, and the smell of Chinese medicine in the room is really clear and audible. In the wing room on one side, rows of bookshelves display withered yellow ancient books and classics, which seem to be medical books from the past years.
Qin Yi was curious, and walked over to take a look, it was really a medical book, a medical case or something like that, but these medical books looked like they had just been moved here, and there was no trace of dust on them, maybe it was because of long-term turning and cleaning.
Of course, Qin Yi also guessed that maybe it was because Liu Yi had a headache from this literary meeting, so he flipped through these books, wanting to find inspiration for writing poetry from them. After all, it is not easy to write a poem with the name of traditional Chinese medicine. At least, there are only a few of the 5,000-year-old cultures that Qin Yi knew in his previous life, not to mention that the poems of this world are just in the development stage?
His guess was verified when Qin Yi saw the manuscript on the desk in the wing. Qin Yi flipped through it, and those manuscripts were all coherent words and sentences with the names of traditional Chinese medicine. Some words and phrases cannot be called poetry because they do not conform to the rhythm, and some words, although they conform to the rhythm, always have a bland feeling and no artistic conception when they are read.
At this time, Qin Yi was interested, he himself was a person who loved poetry very much, and when he saw these words, he naturally wanted to see what was wrong with them. It's just that when Qin Yi looked at it like this, he was attracted by a painting on the desk.
On the painting that catches your eye, the right side is inscribed "The Expedition of the Good Wife to Her Husband", and the line of small characters 'April 30, 16th year of Hongguang' indicates the time when the painting was completed. Under these two lines of words, there is a seal engraved bell seal of 'Chen Tang', and the bright red words indicate who the author of this calligraphy and painting is.
Qin Yi thought in his mind, what kind of person is this Chen Tang. Suddenly, he seemed to have seen in a certain biography in the academy that Chen Tang seemed to be a general during the Hongguang period of the Xia Dynasty, responsible for guarding the Yongzhou and Liangzhou areas of the western frontier.
This Chen Tang, although he is a military general, but he has some Danqing talent, and many paintings of the frontier series have been handed down, and he is well known.
Qin Yi no longer thought about Chen Tang, but admired the painting alone, but saw a general in metal armor standing under the city gate, directing the team to march towards the vast desert. On the tower of the city gate, there is a plaque of 'Xiliang Pass', showing the location in the painting, which is the westernmost pass of the Xia Dynasty, close to Xirong, and is also the throat of the Xia Dynasty through the Western Regions.
Behind the general, there was a beautiful woman, and the corners of the woman's eyes seemed to be flashing with tears. In the painting, the cold wind and the solemn atmosphere of the earth add a lot of resentment to the woman.
Strangely, however, in one corner of the picture, there is a completely different scene. Although this scene only occupies one-fifth of the entire drawing paper, Qin Yi feels that all the focus should be on this scene.
On it, the same characters are drawn, but in a different scene. In the room, behind the screen, two pairs of eyes, full of affection, looked at each other, as if to tell something. This is in great contrast to what Qin Yi saw before.
He was about to pick up the scroll and take a closer look at it when a silk book slipped out of a stack of manuscripts. Seeing this, Qin Yi opened the silk book and looked at it a few times, looked at the words on it, and already understood in his heart that the content of this silk book turned out to be the title of the literary meeting.
It is written in the silk book that the names of 20 kinds of Chinese medicine should be used to describe the emotions expressed in the "Expedition of the Good Wife to the Husband".
Seeing this, Qin Yi couldn't help but gasp, no wonder the clues of "Qingxiang Medical Book" were so tempting, but not many doctors gathered in the town. It seems that the requirements of this topic are too difficult.
Putting aside what kind of emotions this picture expresses, just to find more than 20 names of traditional Chinese medicine, and to coherently become rhythmic words and sentences, it is difficult for people to start.
Qin Yi was a little puzzled, what did this character who grasped the clues of "Qingxiang Medical Book" want to do? Furthermore, isn't it obvious that the emotions expressed in this painting can be seen? Recruit people to go away, and there are good wives at home who are reluctant to give up!
What is even more incomprehensible is what is the purpose of his design of such a complex program? Is it just for the sake of meeting friends in writing? At least, Qin Yi didn't think that this matter was so simple!
Another obvious feature is that this painting does not seem to belong to Liu Ai, but more like it was borrowed by Liu Ai to observe, or copied from it.
Since things are not simple, Qin Yi has to make a choice in his heart, it seems that he does not have any capital to go deep into this matter. Everything, as I inquired about, didn't seem to be anything special.
However, for the sake of the eldest brother, Qin Yi had to wade through this troubled water again.
He was thinking about it in his mind, his brows furrowed more and more, as if he wanted to complete such a poem, as if there was no poem written by his ancestors in his previous life that met such a requirement.
Qin Yi did not give up, but chose to study this painting carefully, wanting to find inspiration from the atmosphere.
Suddenly, he seemed to think of something, and said to himself: "Yes, it's Mr. Jiaxuan's poem!" ”
The Jiaxuan in Qin Yi's mouth is the famous lyricist Xin Qijian in the Southern Song Dynasty in his previous life, and Jiaxuan is his number. After thinking about it for a while, Qin Yi spread out the silk book paper on the desk, and slowly wrote: "Man Tingfang: Silent Night Thoughts".
