Chapter Twenty-Three: Uncle Shui
I see that everyone has no opinions, and they are still making trouble. I knew that the matter of swearing was settled.
At that moment, there was a knock on the door outside - "Knock Knock".
"Who?" Qin Huaiyu asked, "Dare to ask the dedicated young master?" One of the people outside said. As you can tell from the voice, the person who came must be a middle-aged man.
"Oh, it's Uncle Shui." Li Jingye replied, "Young Master Jingye, it's the old man, open the door quickly." When the people outside heard the voice of Jingye, they were obviously excited, and they couldn't wait to come in immediately.
"Uncle Shui, Yu'er is here to open the door." At this time, Li Yu became excited and full of interest.
It can be seen from here that the person who came must be very friendly with Li Yu, maybe just like in the novel, one is the eldest lady in the family, and the other is the uncle who has taken care of the young lady since childhood, I silently guessed in my heart.

The door to the room was opened.
Uncle Shui, woo woo woo. Li Yugang cried when he saw Uncle Shui, feeling funny, still funny, and there was a clear difference from Li Yu's bold character just now, in this old man. It is especially shown that the bird is like a human.
"Oh, Yu'er, what's wrong with you, that villain bullied you. Tell Uncle Shui, Uncle Shui will beat you up" Uncle Shui picked up Li Yu and slowly stroked and comforted him.
And I looked into my eyes and looked at this Uncle Shui. Judging from his demeanor, he is very resolute, but there are strands of gray hair on his head, and I am afraid that he is also in his 40s, so I don't understand why he is not called grandpa but uncle, there must be some entanglement in it.
"Little master, what happened just now, why did you get lost, why did Yu'er cry so much, did you let him suffer any grievances. You have to make it clear, if you can't say it clearly, you can make it clear to yourself where the master is. "The old man was every word when he came, and a large series of questions with guns and cannons were thrown to Li Jingye.
"Huh?" "Uncle Shui is actually too" Li Jingye was stumped by Uncle Shui's large list of questions, because he really couldn't think of any good answers to explain.
Let's say it, I'm such a big person, not to mention that I lost my sister, and I even took my sister to be beaten with me, it's really embarrassing to say it, "Huh? You are talking about it, I can't tell you clearly, you will have to go to the master's place to be punished later. After saying that, he was ready to turn around and leave.
"The old man. Slow"
"Who are you?" The old man looked back at me, a young man, as if he had the momentum of a superior person, guessing that it must be the child of the princely and meritorious family, he looked at Li Jingye again, why did he know this person. With a stomach full of questions, "Who is he, he is His Royal Highness the King of Changsha County, and he still kneels when he sees the King of the County." Xiao Guizi saw that this old man was so bold, nonsense, Li Ke is his master, the grandson of the current emperor, he was asked like this by an unknown old man here, dare to ask Xiao Guizi how to be a slave!
"Xiao Guizi, is it your nonsense here?" I know that this is a piece of kindness from Xiao Guizi, but I also know that the old man in front of me has absolutely no malice, but instead gives myself a sense of comfort and the atmosphere of a soldier, but I really don't understand that even Li Jingye's young age still calls this old man uncle, which really confuses me.
"Huh. It turned out to be His Royal Highness the King of Changsha County, and the flowing water was polite. See His Royal Highness! Flowing Water knelt down as he spoke, and he also had a mystery, why did Li Jingye hook up with the son of the Qin family?
"The old man, please get up quickly, Li Ke can't stand your gift, dare to ask about the flowing water, but the old man's name is taken from Zhu Quan Xuyun: ""High Mountain" and "Flowing Water" are two songs, this is only one song, the initial ambition is to care about the mountains, the meaning of the benevolent person is happy with the mountain, and the later ambition is to care about the flowing water, and the meaning of the wise person is happy with the water. ”
I saw the old man kneeling. I hurriedly helped the old man up, and by the way, I became curious about his name. So I remembered this song, Fang Zheng dead horse as a live horse doctor!
"I didn't expect the county king to be so talented, the king of Qin is gratifying, dare to ask His Royal Highness the county king, but you still understand the other meanings of flowing water, the old man listened."
"Old man, please do it, please listen to the next slowly. If you don't understand it, I want to advise" After saying that, I asked him to do it, and bowed to him, and now there is no longer a county king and an old man, but a scholar who reports to the teacher. And the old man also forgot what happened to the restaurant just now, I don't have to guess that I know that this person must be Li Ji's right-hand man, and what I'm doing now is just to build a good relationship.
"Ahem"
Everyone sat down. It's as if they want to know how I can say the meaning of this flowing water!
Since ancient times, the literati of all dynasties in China have emphasized that "if you are good, you will help the world, and if you are poor, you will be good to yourself". Whenever the literati were depressed and despairing, they usually chose to enter the Tao from Confucianism, drawing their attention from the chaotic outside world back to the rich heart, relaxing and retreating, placing their affection for the mountains and rivers, and getting close to the vast nature.
As one of the ways of self-cultivation, Fuqin has made the literati of all ages intoxicated and relieved. This is just as Ji Kang said in "Qin Fu", "Things have ups and downs, but the guqin does not change; The taste is good, and this is not strong, it can guide the spirit, declare and harmonize the feelings, and those who are poor and lonely are not bored, which is not close to the sound. If it is too old to be reinstated, then the chant will be wanton, and if the chant is insufficient, it will be sent to the general meaning."
The person who plays the guqin in the simple and slow and quiet and distant sound, from restlessness to tranquility and then forget about things, "sit alone in the secluded fence, play the piano and roar", "to be happy to cure the heart, music is safe, peace is long." ”
The reason why the art of guqin is unique and highly respected, in addition to the "best of the qin", is also because its musical characteristics can conform to nature and intriguing, in line with the characteristics of traditional Chinese culture to pursue artistic conception, advocating inner and implicit meaning, it contains the core of the cultural spirit of the Chinese nation, embodies the virtue of self-cultivation and enlightenment of the ancients, and has become an important way and means of personality cultivation and spiritual sublimation.
The sound of the guqin, both pure and elegant, but also clear and far-reaching, elegant in taste, happy but not yin, sad but not sad, resentful but not angry, gentle and generous, the form is peaceful, no fault is inferior, "the qin is a instrument, virtue is in it", the qin road is a literati doctor for a lifetime of pursuit.
The sound of the guqin is not loud, restrained and deep and unassuming, so it is more suitable for self-appreciation. Since ancient times, the performance of the guqin has often been regarded as a heart-to-heart exchange between bosom friends. The guqin song "Flowing Water", which rhymes with the present dynasty, leads to a popular and touching story of Yu Boya and Zhong Ziqi, which has become a beautiful story through the ages, plucking the heartstrings of today's people and bringing us endless reverie.
