Chapter 7 There are scholars on the ridges
Cold food, according to the Chinese lunar calendar, when it is one hundred and five days after the winter solstice, about one or two days before the Qingming Festival, so the cold food also has another name of "one hundred and five". Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 infoNowadays, there are few people who talk about cold food, mostly because the predecessors merged cold food with Qingming.
April is an excellent season, since the Cold Food Festival has arrived, Xun Shuang, a person who pays attention to etiquette, will naturally not let go of the opportunity to remember the change, and immediately gathered his three sons and one daughter, and walked towards the ancestral tomb of the Xun family.
It is rumored that the ancestor of the Xun family is the famous thinker Xun Guo during the Warring States Period, and the ancestor of Xun Guo is Xun Xi of Xun State. When he was in the middle of his descendants, he failed to fight with Zhao Jianzi and changed back to Xun, which is the origin of Zhao Guoxun's family.
Zhao is in the part of today's Jizhou and Bingzhou, and there is also a certain distance from Yingchuan; But after all, the Xun clan will not have only one line, and the Yingchuan Xun clan has a reputation for Xun Qing, probably to give his clan chief some face. As for whether the Yingchuan Xun clan has anything to do with Xun Qing, I'm afraid only the clan elders know.
The ancestral tomb of the Xun family is not in the valley, but in Yangzhai, dozens of miles northwest of Yingyin. Yangzhai is located in the middle of Yingchuan and is known as the first capital of China. And not far from Yangzhai City, there is a mountain called Jiu Mountain, the scenery is beautiful, the feng shui is vigorous, as early as the Qin period, it was favored by the ancestors of the Xun family, and became the location of the Xun family tombs.
Another gust of spring breeze passed, and Xun Gang suddenly felt that spring came so quickly, and the original snow-capped scenery turned into spring rain. Fortunately, the spring rain has just passed on the day of the Cold Food Festival, so it will not ruin the interest of the Xun family so early.
Although the Xun family is a large clan with a large population, it does not mean that all things have to be carried out by people in the clan. Just like the sacrifice of this cold food festival, some people in the Xun family choose to go to the Qingming Festival. A good big family does its own thing, and it is not united, and if you say it, you are afraid that you will be laughed at by other clans.
When Xun Gang saw that he was about to enter the mountain, he instantly felt that his interest was not as high as before; Indeed, ancestor worship is a major event for the Chinese, but those people are not Xun Gang's real ancestors! Is it really obligated to pay tribute to them?
Obviously, without themselves, they can still sacrifice.
Xun Gang made a very "reasonable" excuse for himself, gradually broke away from the large army, and slipped in another direction while those people were not paying attention......
"I always feel like something is missing...... Xun Biao, did you see your brother? ”
Not long after Xun Gang left, Xun Shuang immediately found out that something was wrong, at this time, he had to ask Xun Biao, who was the eldest son.
I saw Xun Biao smile slightly, his eyes unconsciously glanced in the direction of Xun Gang's escape, it was obvious that he had already discovered that Xun Gang had escaped; But he didn't tell Xun Shuang, but said: "My brother is playful, maybe he runs to the front first, maybe we walk slowly, maybe we will find him......"
As an eldest brother, you are really relieved, aren't you afraid that the child will be abducted and sold by the Yellow Turban thief?
………………………………
Xun Gang walked slowly on the ridge, with the spring breeze supporting the willows behind him, the sun shining in front of him, and the color of spring was clear at a glance. On both sides of the fields are busy farmers tending to their own grains.
For as long as he can remember, when he was about four or five years old, he had lived on other planets, and his father's generation often talked about the earth, mostly about the black water, the turbid air, and the decaying plants, which made him not have the slightest good impression of the earth; But when he had read many history books and talked about the heroes and heroes on the earth, he was filled with great curiosity about his hidden hometown.
Because of this, he joined the Space Search Party, also to have a chance to meet Earth.
I didn't expect that on the earth more than 2,000 years ago, there was such fragrant air and such strong crops; It seems that the comments of his parents are still too one-sided.
"Wait, I guess where I went? I'm a Han Dynasty now! ”
Xun Gang shook his head vigorously, he had already stated to himself many times that he should not let future emotions interfere with his current self; Now he is a Han Dynasty person, and he has to survive as a Han Dynasty person.
Today's cold food, when he came to this Yangzhai, he naturally did not come to inspect the folk customs; It is rumored that Yingchuan has many talents, and Yangzhai is an extremely ancient city, what if there is a very outstanding talent waiting for him?
Thinking of this, Xun Gang couldn't help but want to dance, and the farmers who were farming on the side didn't know which child was crazy, so they didn't dare to care, and still loosened the soil and farmed.
"A tree in front of the boundary, dead wood is hard to find. Every inch of grass is gold, and Coats is unbearable......"
"The mountains have cliffs and pines and cypresses that are difficult to support, and the Miluo water is long and there is no support; There is Gao Zhixi to rest in the east, and go north to look for the beauty Ji ......"
From afar, there was a singing ballad, as if someone was singing. The singing voice is crisp and disturbs the world, sometimes high-pitched, sometimes low; After the man finished singing, he seemed to sigh, and flew to Xun Gang's ears together with the butterflies at the entrance of the village.
Xun Gang's steps stopped, he looked towards the place where the voice came from, and remembered what Xu Shu and Liu Bei had praised when Xu Shu and Liu Bei met, "There are virtuous people in the valley, and you want to seek the master; The Lord seeks to be virtuous, but he does not know me." Those who can casually sing such psalms are not mortal! Xun Gang was overjoyed in his heart, thinking that this hermit in Yang Zhai had such a high talent.
"You have high talents, and you have to go down!"
Xun Gang smiled slightly, recognized the direction, and ran up on the field, and the surrounding farmers were busy farming; Even if the kid was bare-bottomed, they didn't have time to watch a little hairy kid run around.
I hope it's good to be a talented person who doesn't let me down...... Xun Gang pleaded in his heart.
Hatoyama Village is not a small place, this naked field alone occupies dozens of acres of land; Xun Gang ran on the field for a while, but he didn't even finish the family's field.
Xun Gang's heart was broken, he gasped, he didn't expect the fields of this Jiushan Mountain to be so vast, and he ran hundreds of steps following the sound, but he didn't even see who the singing person was.
If you are an adult, how can you still bother with such a trivial matter? A distance of a few hundred steps, I usually run it in one minute! It's like this child's body, which hasn't run for so long and hasn't gotten a head!
Suddenly, the man began to sing again, in a slightly left pitch, as before; But just by virtue of the source of the voice, Xun Gang could conclude that this person was not far from him.
Xun Gang ran hundreds of steps along the ridge again, and he didn't know how many turns he made halfway, and gradually he couldn't find the original way. Finally, Xun Gang got his wish and saw an ordinary-looking scholar on an ordinary ridge.
The scholar looked like he was twenty years old, dressed in a thin linen robe, holding a scroll of bamboo slips in his hand, and a few volumes beside him; The black hair is tied in a bun and looks very energetic. He has a thin face, high cheekbones and a straight nose, and is slightly haggard; His skin was slightly dark, but when he looked closely, he was not much different from the farmer in the field.
When the scholar heard the wheezing sound here, he turned his head in a little surprise, and found that it was a three-year-old ghost, so he couldn't help but become interested, and asked, "Child, if you don't stay with your parents, are you waiting to be abducted by the yellow turban thief?" ”
This person looks like a scholar, but his words are very easy-going, and he is not bound by the so-called etiquette, let alone the family rules of the scholar family, which makes Xun Gang very envious.
Xun Gang gave a stiff salute to the scholar and said with a smile: "Instead of being abducted by the Yellow Turban Army, it is better to be abducted by a wise lord, is it right?" ”
The scholar was taken aback, he had never seen a three-year-old child speak like this, not even a legendary prodigy; He fixed his mind and decided that this son was extraordinary, so he turned around and smiled casually: "What do you mean by this?" ”
"The mountains have cliffs and pines and cypresses that are difficult to support, and the Miluo water is long and there is no support; There is Gao Zhixi in the east to rest, and go north to look for a beauty in the mountains...... How do you let me explain such a song? ”
This song was written casually, and he only sang it once, and after singing it, he almost forgot it, and this child was able to recite it in front of him...... It's kind of funny, it's beyond superhuman memory!
"Just say it."
Xun Gang didn't care whether the soil was dirty or not, he was sitting on the ridge face to face with the scholar, and said solemnly: "The mountain has trees, the name is pine and cypress, and the ambition of pine and cypress is unstoppable." The heart has a direction, the wine to the court, afraid of Miluo's affairs, Qu Ping has no way to repay loyalty. With high ambitions and no owner to rely on, temporarily live in the east to observe the general trend, find the Lord and shine, can you say something wrong in the next? ”
The scholar was taken aback again, this time not only because of the child's conversation, but also because of the child's wisdom beyond his years. I was really helpless to the situation that the Han Mansion was about to collapse and there was no owner to rely on, so I wrote poetry casually, but I didn't expect this child who ran out halfway to be able to completely figure out his own thoughts!
The scholar feels more and more interesting, he has seen many heroes and heroes, but most of them are serious and boring, and there are only a handful of people who are really interesting; Now let him see such a genius, wouldn't it be a pity not to win over more?
How could he have thought that what he thought was exactly what Xun Gang thought!
The scholar asked Xun Gang's name, Xun Gang replied, and the former was surprised: "It turns out that you are the prodigy that has been circulating in Yingchuan for a long time!" I didn't expect to be fortunate to meet you today, fortunately! ”
Xun Gang was a little embarrassed to be praised, but he didn't know the name of this scholar, so he stepped forward to ask.
Unexpectedly, this scholar did not answer, but asked Xun Gang a question: "If you can answer the question I asked you within a hundred steps, I will tell you my name." But I'm just a nobody, are you willing to take on such a challenge for the sake of my nameless name? ”
Is there such a reason in the world? Xun Gang was also the first time to see such an interesting person, but it was too low-end to just agree, so he replied: "If I regard you as a friend, I must know your name, how can I retreat because of your so-called nameless junior?" ”
Xun Gang's words stunned the scholar for a moment, and he was a little moved at that moment. But moved is moved, the scholar really wants to know how many brushes this three-year-old child has.
He stood up, walked up to Xun Gang, and said, "From now on, I will walk a hundred steps, ask a total of three questions, and if you can answer them, I will tell you my name." ”
It is said that the virtuous minister chooses the master to do things, since this person intends to challenge himself, then I can only be disrespectful!
The corners of Xun Gang's mouth curled slightly, he couldn't imagine that he could meet such an interesting person after coming to this place for three years; Wouldn't it be a pity to just give up?
