(11) Quiet

I saw that the two pieces of jade were shining brightly when they were separated, but the white jade only shimmered faintly in the daytime, and the black jade was full of ink, and the two pieces of jade seemed to not like to be separated, as if they had a spiritual wisdom to attract each other, which was quite weird. Zhao Yan opened his mouth wide on the side, even covering it with his hands, Cao Teng, who was standing in the distance, had never seen such a scene, even though he had experienced countless political whirlpools, winds and waves, the scene in front of him was extremely incredible, and he couldn't help frowning.

"Little black, little white, obedient, don't scare people." Cao Song seemed to be commanding this kitten and puppy, but these two pieces of jade were extremely obedient, only flashing, but saw a mini dragon shadow flashing on the white jade, and a tiny phoenix on the black jade shook for a moment, but the phantom was too small and flashed too fast, no one paid attention, and the double jade stopped the light and stopped moving.

Zhao Yan was surprised, Cao Song handed over the two pieces of jade to Zhao Yan to play with, Zhao Yan took it and looked at it for a while, but she couldn't see a so, she just said that it was a baby, so she returned it to Cao Song, "Hey, Song'er, is this jade given to you by Uncle Cao?" ”

"I heard Uncle Xiahou say that this jade has been worn on me since I was a child, and I don't know how it came about." Cao Song shook his head and didn't know.

"You just said that you used to live in Xiahou's house, what's going on? Haven't you been in the house since you were a child? Zhao Yan saw that Cao Song couldn't say anything, so she talked about something else, but then she remembered the Xiahou couple when she first arrived in Luoyang that day, and she didn't know what happened to them, and those homeless people didn't know what happened, and suddenly remembered a young man, and her heart hurt......

"Oh, when I was a child, well, I lived in Uncle Xiahou's house until I was ten years old, I used to think I was the son of Xiahou's family, Uncle said that I was sick and couldn't go home until I was ten years old, and their family treated me well, but my father came to see me every year to bring me fun and delicious food...... "In this way, the two of you said a word, I said, and sometimes there was some laughter......

In this way, Zhao Yan's brother and sister lived in this Great Changqiu Mansion, which was the most peaceful and beautiful day in the life of the two. The brother and sister are not ungrateful, the two of them have ready-made food and clothing in Cao Teng's mansion, the two brothers and sisters don't want to go, Zhao Zhong can't bear his sister's hard work, so he follows Cao Fu in front of the saddle, and said in advance that he is a servant in the house, so he rushes to do more work, although he is a teenager, he does more than the average servant, Cao Fu also likes him very much, and tells him everything.

Zhao Yan couldn't bear the hard work of her brother, so she went to buy some needlework and fabric, ready to make some clothes and shoes for the people in Cao's house, although the house has them, but the hand-embroidered ones only show their hearts, until a little time later, a master came, it turned out to teach Cao Song to read, and let himself also learn, Zhao Yan remembered that there was a Liu Zhi's mother who told her to learn some poetry and books, although she didn't want to remember the young man but knew that the beautiful woman was good for her, so she embroidered less every day and read with Cao Song......

One day in the Caofu study hall, an old gentleman shook his head, "One of them said: 'What's the back?' I saw that there was a desk in front of the old man, and a young man standing behind the desk was Cao Song.

"Ahem, 'The emperor has training, and the people ......'" The master saw that Cao Song couldn't recite it, so he spoke to guide him.

"'The people' can ...... But ......" Cao Song still couldn't speak.

"'The people can be approached, but not down, the people are only Bangben, Bengu Bangning'" was a young girl who whispered behind Cao Song to remind that it was Zhao Yan.

"Ah, 'the people can be approached, not down, the people are only Bangben, Ben Gu Bangning'" Cao Song was like grasping a life-saving straw, and hurriedly said it, but said strangely in his heart: Sister Yan also played with me until late after class yesterday, and then rested in peace, and she didn't endorse it, how could she?

"Hmph, sit down, my daughter's family has learned more than you!" After the master taught Cao Song a lesson, he sighed and shook his head, this little boy is greedy for pleasure on weekdays, he wanted to use this allusion to persuade Cao Song to study hard, not to be greedy, I think it was in vain...... But this white female student is very smart and well-behaved, and the words in the "Book of Books" are memorized smoothly.

"Sister Yan, thank you for making me lose a meal." Cao Song secretly turned his head and whispered to Zhao Yan, and then turned around and made a grimace while the master was not paying attention, "You! Zhao Yan shook her head with amusement in her heart......

At the time of the Han Dynasty, although the four books and the five classics were all Confucian classics, the children of the official eunuchs focused on the five classics, and this "Book of Books" is also known as "Shangshu", which is one of the five classics.

This sentence is from "Shangshu Song of the Five Sons" is said that Xia Qi's eldest son Taikang lived a corrupt life during his reign, only cared about drinking and hunting, ignoring political affairs, one day hunting by Luoshui, there was a poor monarch Houyi, because the people could not stand Taikang, so they went to resist Taikang, and did not let him return to the country, Taikang's five younger brothers waited for his return by Luoshui, but complained about Taikang, and wrote this "Song of the Five Sons" by narrating the teachings of the ancestor Dayu.

The first song says that "the ancestors had a clear teaching, the people can be close but not despise, the people are the foundation of the country, the foundation is firm, the country can be peaceful...... Zhao Yan was born in poverty, when reading this sentence, I only feel that this sentence is very correct and wonderful, it is really a wise saying, read and read it has been remembered in my heart.

Zhao Yan was originally smart, just because she didn't have the opportunity to study when she was a child, but she learned a lot of truths when she accompanied Cao Song to study these days, some said to govern the country and the people, some said self-cultivation and life, and some said benevolence, righteousness, etiquette and wisdom, all of which feel very reasonable.

But said that the more books I read, the more I thought, the more I thought, Zhao Yan thought to herself, just like in the past, the people have no chance to study, these truths are not understood, but the scholars and officials understand, thinking of the homeless people gathered outside the Luoyang Gate that day, why didn't the official family care, why didn't the emperor care? I heard that the emperor is not in charge yet, and it is the person named General Liang Ji who is in charge, but why does he ignore the lives of the people?

The emperor and the name "Liang Ji" were not taught by the master, but the elder brother mentioned it to himself, Zhao Zhong ran forward with Cao Fu in the mansion, and he also knew a lot about what he saw and heard in the court, and he usually talked about everything between his brothers and sisters, Zhao Zhong told more of these stories, Zhao Yan didn't like to listen to these at this time, and remembered what his brother said......

"Sister, do you know what this general Liang Jisheng looks like?" One day, Zhao Zhong asked Zhao Yan, and Zhao Yan shook her head.

"My brother thought that a person must be handsome and strong, and strong in martial arts to be a general, but Uncle Cao Fu secretly told me that this person's shoulders are like an eagle, and his eyes are like jackals, but there is no god, and his speech is also vague and unclear, and he can only copy some things to keep accounts, but archery, drinking, chess, kickball, and money are all connected, just by relying on being a relative of the emperor since childhood, he can become a general, if your brother can also have such a family, he must do better than him, and let my sister ...... you when the time comes." Zhao Yan listened to it as fun at the time, thinking that there was such a general in the world, and the brother and sister were still laughing together, and now they couldn't help but feel angry at this person named Liang Ji.

If the people who rule the world are such people who only know pleasure, what will become of the people, what will happen to those homeless people, Uncle Xiahou and Aunt Fan, don't they have a home yet? How do they eat? Zhao Yan remembered it again, and embroidered some more clothes to send to his family! If I have a plan, I will go out of the house on this day to mend some fabrics and prepare to make another set of clothes......

After finishing the study, Zhao Yan was accompanied by Huan'er to go out of the house to buy needlework, this Huan'er since Zhao Yan was well Cao Fu also asked her to follow Zhao Yan, the two were of the same age, and Zhao Yan treated her as a sister.

"Sister Huan'er, why are some of these ladies and ladies on the street frowning, and some of them seem to have just cried, and their makeup is spent?" Zhao Yan came to the market, but saw that many women were dressed strangely, different from before.

"Miss, this is 'sorrowful eyebrows' and 'crying makeup', 'sorrowful eyebrows' eyebrows are thin and tortuous, the color is thick, and the eyebrows are upturned, just like a girl frowning, which makes people pity, and this 'crying makeup' is to turn the eyes into just cried, Chu Chu is moving, these are all invented by the general's wife Sun Shou, and they are very sought after by these young ladies and ladies." Huan'er said.

"Oh, Sister Huan'er, didn't you say that you would call me Yan'er when no one was around, hey, that young lady's hair is slanted to the side, isn't it also the lady's masterpiece?" Zhao Yan saw a woman's bun again.

"Yes, that's a 'falling horse bun', like falling off a horse with her hair in a bun to one side, miss, no, Yan'er, you see that lady walks like a cat with her feet like in a line, this is called 'bending the waist step', also called 'cat step', it is like a thin waist as if it is about to break, and there is that 'caries smile', if a woman laughs like a toothache and covers her mouth, that person is." Huan'er told Zhao Yan all the way about these popular costumes in the city.

Zhao Yan still felt novel at the beginning, but she could see that the women in Luoyang City were all pretending to be charming, looking delicate and pitiful, it was disgusting to think about, and women should not be virtuous and virtuous, but they made this gesture to tempt men, but they were created by Mrs. Liang Ji, thinking that one of these two people only had fun, and the other only cared about seducing men, it was really a raccoon dog, so he didn't want to be with these people, so he called Huan'er to walk on the road with fewer pedestrians.

While the two of them were watching the goods in the market, a carriage rushed past from a distance, followed by another, and there were five of them, but they saw that the cart was loaded with some trees and sand, which stirred up a puff of dust on the road, and the two women who threw themselves coughed repeatedly, but the carriage went all the way......
