Chapter 20: When the peach blossoms bloom, the cherry blossoms are like snow
Time flows slowly, in the cold of spring, Qingming is coming in a blink of an eye, this morning is the last class before the holiday, Liu Bei has been anxiously looking at Lu Zhi who is lecturing slowly on the stage, and there are not a few students with the same expression as him.
No matter when the students really like to read and go to school, and can enjoy it, there are always a few, otherwise after Yan Hui's early death, Master Confucius would not have cried so sadly, and said with great grief: "Heaven is lost, God is lost!" ”
But Lu Zhi didn't know what's wrong, maybe it was because the "Huang Li" he talked about today really triggered his feelings of worrying about the country and the people as a scholar, so he knelt on the mat and sang loudly over and over again:
"Those who know me say that I am worried, and those who do not know me say what I want, the sky is long, who is this?
"Those who know me say that I am worried, and those who do not know me say what I want, the sky is long, who is this......"
After a long time, Lu Zhi opened his slightly closed eyes, stopped his head shaking from intoxication, and said:
"Xuande, get up and tell me, what is this poem "Huang Li" about."
Although Liu Bei was complaining about the teacher's behavior of dragging the hall in his heart, he still bowed without changing his face, and said solemnly: "Back to the teacher, it is rumored that after King Zhou Ping moved eastward, the doctor of the court and the central government occasionally returned to Haojing, and saw the old capital of Zong and Zhou, and his eyes were full of devastation; The buildings and palaces are all ashes; The prosperity is gone, the barren grass is overgrown, only Li Miao is lush as before, and I can't help but be sad from the heart, and I use poetry to carry its affectionate literary ear. ”
Speaking of this, Liu Bei paused, and then continued: "This poem, in the light of Xuande, is about the pain of the country's ruin, the family's demise, and the sinking of the society!" ”
"Good." Lu Zhi closed the book and bowed slightly, seemingly agreeing with Liu Bei's opinion.
"Then, the second and third sons will recite it carefully with me a few times and savor the charm of this poem."
"Huh?!" Liu Bei was stunned in his heart, what is going on? According to the usual practice, shouldn't the teacher say at this time, "Okay, today's class is here, and the second and third sons will go back." ”
Then everyone happily went back to their respective homes and looked for their mothers.
However, since the teacher had already spoken, Liu Bei had no choice but to sing "Huang Li" with Lu Zhi with his junior brothers.
After chanting three times in a row, Lu Zhi stopped the disciples, straightened his face, and asked solemnly: "Do you know why you let you chant "Huang Li" several times today?" ”
"Xuande, you get up and talk about it."
Why is it me again, didn't you call me just now? Teacher, you don't talk about the rules at all, Liu Bei secretly complained to himself in his heart, but he still got up quickly, saluted and said: "The disciple is foolish, I think that the teacher is asking me to feel the grief of the predecessors and work hard to the present." ”
"Xuande." Lu Zhi said with a smile.
Seeing this, Liu Bei also laughed, no way, the nine-year compulsory education in his previous life was not in vain, and his brother is so able to talk nonsense.
"What nonsense!" Lu Zhi said sharply word by word, and looked at Liu Bei again after speaking, "Xuande, let me ask you, what day is the day after tomorrow." ”
Liu Bei already felt that something was wrong at this time, but the disaster was coming, so he had to say carefully: "Returning to the teacher, it is Qingming." ”
"Oh, it turned out to be Qingming." Lu Zhi had a look of sudden realization, "I saw that you were all overjoyed and impatient, and I thought it was New Year's Day!" ”
Liu Bei immediately understood what was going on, and hurriedly lowered his head, looking serious and repentant, and the other juniors and disciples quickly took Liu Bei as an example.
"Humph!"
Lu Zhi snorted coldly and said: "Since you are studying in me, you should have a learning appearance, what is the difference between what you are doing today and Zai Yu who sleeps that day?" It's really a wall of dung! ”
It became quieter and quieter, and all the disciples held their breath and hung their heads, trying not to make a sound.
"It's just right, the day after tomorrow is Qingming, so you will recite this "Huang Li" first, nourish the pain of grief, don't wait for the day after tomorrow to give the ancestors a feast, laugh out loud, and lose my face."
"Xuande."
"The disciple is here."
"Let you start and lead them to read."
"Yui." Liu Bei bowed his head and replied, shouting luck in his heart, if he hadn't memorized this poem in his previous life, he would have been afraid of causing trouble today, but what is going on with the teacher today? It's like eating gunpowder.,Even though I have a straight face on weekdays.,There's not so much anger.。
While thinking, Liu Bei sang loudly: "Pi Huang is leaving, and the seedlings of Bi Ji are ......."
And the students in the school also recited "Huang Li" aloud under the leadership of Liu Bei, until the third time, when the students saw that Lu Zhi was closing his eyes and shaking his head as if he had just begun, and they were all sad for the teacher's drag and almost cried, Lu Zhi said:
"Okay, let's stop the second and third sons, and that's all for today's class."
Then all the disciples got up and saluted Lu Zhi as if they had been amnestied, and after a while, the school was empty and only Lu Zhi was left.
Lu Zhi stood up, his expression was slightly sad, he looked down at his old robe, and said softly: "Don't be angry, don't be offended." ”
……
Liu Bei and Zhang Fei came out later, and compared with the tense atmosphere at the beginning, the relationship between the two is much milder and weirder.
When parting at the gate of the county school, Liu Bei said to Zhang Fei seriously: "Remember, I will go to your house to find you in the afternoon, and I will definitely win you this time." ”
Zhang Fei opened his mouth to say something, but in the end he didn't say anything, nodded, and parted ways with Liu Bei.
Fauber stood at the door and watched the students leave, until the last person was far away, Fauber stepped forward and closed the door, and just about to turn around, he heard a familiar voice.
"Fauber." Lu Yuan came to the door at some point, raised her head, and looked at the old man who grew up with her aggrievedly, her big eyes filled with tears.
Fu Bo hurriedly bent down and comforted Lu Yuan, "Miss, don't cry, don't cry......"
……
After eating a meal at noon and falling asleep, Liu Bei got up and went to Zhang Fei's house, which was in the west of the city and was a very spacious house.
After Liu Bei arrived, he knocked on the door, and an old man who looked like a housekeeper came out, and when he saw that it was Liu Bei, he hurriedly pushed out of the way, and Liu Bei smiled back and bowed, and went to the backyard of the Zhang family.
It's not the first time Liu Bei has come here, since the teacher Lu Zhi moved to the county school, Liu Bei and Zhang Fei consciously changed the location of the appointment to the backyard of Zhang Fei's house, from the beginning of the three days, to the next two days, and now a day, because he is too lazy to calculate, Liu Bei does not know that today's fight is the first time he and Zhang Fei have it.
In the backyard, the peach blossoms are competing for beauty, this is the early April, it is the time when the peach blossoms are blooming, Liu Bei still remembers the surprise when he first came, he didn't expect that the peach garden in the Romance of the Three Kingdoms really exists.
"I'm coming." Liu Bei said to Zhang Fei's back.
Zhang Fei turned his head, glanced at Liu Bei, and then stood up on the ground.
The two stood opposite each other, and a breeze blew and blew off a few peach blossoms, and the peach blossoms fell leisurely.
Liu Bei felt that today's Zhang Fei was very strange, if it was in the past, the two would have almost fought, but today, Zhang Fei was motionless.
However, some things always have to be started, thinking of this, Liu Bei said: "Then let's start." ”
Zhang Fei seemed to be awakened, and said: "Okay, come on." ”
The two got into an entanglement, with no bells and whistles, only fists and feet.
But Liu Bei felt that something was wrong, although he was improving day by day and narrowing the gap with Zhang Fei day by day, it did not mean that the current Liu Bei could beat Zhang Fei.
A punch was just an ordinary punch, with no additional strength in the waist and legs, nor did it hit any critical parts, but Zhang Fei fell to the ground with a thud.
Liu Bei raised the fist that hit Zhang Fei just now and looked at it blankly. But after a while, Liu Bei came back to his senses and stretched out his hand towards Zhang Fei, Zhang Fei glanced at Liu Bei in a daze, stretched out his hand, and put it on Liu Bei's hand.
Then Liu Bei pressed his waist hard, kicked his left leg back, and pulled Zhang Fei up.
"You're very wrong today, listless." After pulling up Zhang Fei, Liu Bei couldn't help but say.
"But you won, didn't you?"
"However, you are very strange today, you didn't give your all, and I won't be able to win."
"Nothing." Zhang Fei shook his head, "If you lose, you lose." ”
Liu Bei sighed in his heart, how could this scene look so familiar, damn, isn't this his own routine of "pretending to be deep"? Isn't this kid supposed to-
"Do you remember the first time you came to my house and asked me why my backyard was full of peach trees?" Zhang Fei asked suddenly
Liu Bei nodded, how could he not remember that time, Zhang Fei was inexplicably heavy.
"Because my mother liked peach blossoms and cherry blossoms the most when she was alive."
"Sakura? And cherry blossoms? Isn't this a peach garden? Liu Bei was stunned.
"Because the cherry trees are all dead, and then my father cut them down, you see, those bunches of dead branches are the old cherry trees." As Zhang Fei's finger Liu Bei looked, he saw a few dead branches standing on the edge of the peach tree, silent.
"You look like your mother?" Liu Bei inappropriately remembered Zhang's father's rugged face and asked.
Zhang Fei nodded.
"Then why do you like these two flowers?" Liu Bei temporarily changed his words, there are some questions that do not need to be asked, and they cannot be asked.
Zhang Fei smiled, "I heard my father say that my mother said that these two kinds of flowers look the best when they bloom, "when the peach blossoms bloom, the cherry blossoms are like snow." ”
"When the peach blossoms bloom, the cherry blossoms are like snow." Liu Bei muttered, and then sighed, "Very beautiful sentence." ”
Zhang Fei was silent.
After a long time, Liu Bei got up and said goodbye: "I-gone." ”
When Liu Bei was about to step out of the peach garden, Zhang Fei's voice sounded suddenly: "Come often in the future." ”
"Got it, I will." Liu Bei waved his hand without looking back.
