Chapter 189: A Misunderstanding
As long as the literati who have studied the couplets a lot, they will see that the man surnamed Liu has bad intentions.
'The sunset is fragrant, and sweeps away a little of mortal heart; The furnace is extinguished, and the horse must be firmly bolted', this couplet is actually playing with the means of dismantling words and forming words.
Sunset incense residue: A word 'incense' falls to the word 'day', which is the word 'he'.
Sweep away the heart of the mortal: a 'fan' word, sweep away a little, is a 'several' word.
Therefore, the combination of the words 'he' and 'several' in the upper link is a 'bald' character.
The furnace is extinguished: the word "furnace" is extinguished by the word "fire", which is the word "household".
It is necessary to tighten the meaning of the horse: this makes the last sentence mainly a 'horse' word.
Tie the word 'horse' to the word 'household', which is a 'donkey' character.
Therefore, the whole couplet is combined together, which is nothing more than the word 'bald donkey'.
It was precisely because Abbot Zhiyuan understood this that he was very embarrassed and didn't know how to deal with it.
As a Buddhist, he is not angry or stupid, so for the son surnamed Liu, Zhiyuan can only eat Coptis chinensis dumbly, and he can't say anything about his suffering.
The most terrible thing is that this scolding technique is implicit in the couplet, so he received this couplet as equivalent to accepting the word 'bald donkey'.
But if you don't accept it, you will lose the due courtesy, so this is a dilemma for Abbot Zhiyuan.
At this moment, the man surnamed Liu looked extremely embarrassed, first kneaded the written couplet into a paper ball, and finally apologized to the abbot of Zhiyuan: "There is a lot of offense below, and I hope that the abbot Haihan ......"
"Hehe, Amitabha, it's just that, it's inevitable that young people will make some mistakes. A few people came from afar, if it is late today, if you don't think the temple is simple, just stay here for one night, I don't know how many people think? ”
"I'm tired of the master!"
Zhiyuan was in a good mood at this time, and smiled heartily: "Lao Wei is going to prepare a meal, please ...... casually."
As he spoke, he instructed the monks in the temple to prepare a meditation room, while he personally prepared a meal in the front and rear dining halls.
"In Xia Liu Ying, haven't you asked your brother Taizun's surname yet?" The boy in Tsing Yi, surnamed Liu, took the lead in putting on the man in white.
"Uh, in the lower leaves...... Chengtian, I don't know where Brother Liu is? ”
"Hehe, Liu lives in Sichuan and Shu, and I heard that the Shaoxing Lanting Festival is very lively, and Liu is conceited that he has a little talent, so he came to have some sightseeing."
After Liu Ying introduced herself, she carefully looked at the man in front of her, and saw that this Ye Chengtian was handsome and elegant, and his temperament was far from being a mountain person.
What's more, the yellow-faced man with the ring-headed knife behind him is obviously a master of personal guards.
"With Brother Ye's talent, isn't it also for this Lanting event?"
"Rantei Extravaganza? Uh, that's right, back then, Wang Youjun's article became the first book in the world, and Ye Mou had been looking forward to it for a long time, so he came to visit it in this twilight of spring......"
While the two were talking, the meditation room in the temple had been properly arranged. Only then did the two of them take their entourage and live in a quiet meditation room.
In the West Zen room, Liu Ying sat at the table and said thoughtfully: "This surname Ye is not simple, especially his entourage. ”
"What should we do, and will it affect our plans?" One of the attendants asked very respectfully.
"It's okay, there are still two days before the Lanting Festival, so let's just branch this person. Remember, don't startle the snake......"
"Subordinates obey!"
In the east wing, it was very quiet, and Ye Chengtian who was lying on the bed was Ye Yu who was patrolling on behalf of the sky.
Ye Yu really wanted to choose a word for himself, such as the great writer Su Shi, the word Zizhan, and the poet immortal Li Bai, the word is too white.
used to be unruly because of his young age, but now that he has passed the age of the crown, he should also take a word as a foil.
I never thought that today, in order not to show people by his real name, he casually used Ye Chengtian as a pseudonym.
In this way, it is also trouble-free, and in the future, I will directly take Chengtian as my own word.
Today, the honor guard of the Heavenly Patrol is slowly moving towards Fuzhou, and he is the first to come to Shaoxing.
This time he was ordered to leave Beijing, Ye Yu didn't think it was just for the death of the general sentence.
After going through so much, he has gradually matured and will not simply think about one thing.
And whatever the reason for this, it may be difficult to find any clues wherever the huge guard of honor goes.
Moreover, the enemy who had wanted to kill him might have assassinated him when he left Beijing.
At the same time, Ye Yu also believed that these assassins, after experiencing the shelling of the golden cicada at the post station back then, would definitely not be fooled into the air.
But he and his entourage wandered through the city, apparently much smaller than the goal of the honor guard.
Even if this group of people sees through this layer, in the vast sea of people, it is not easy to find him.
As for the guard of honor passing through the state and receiving the officials passing through, he has already prepared a countermeasure.
Even what the Emperor cares about, he has already written a manuscript, so that he can deliver the manuscript on time when he is not in the honor guard.
Just entered Shaoxing Mansion today, passing through this Bodhi Temple, Ye Yu wanted to stay in this temple for a while, but he never thought that he would encounter such a thing.
Recalling what happened just now, Ye Yu smiled playfully and said, "Lone wolf, secretly stare at that Liu Ying and his entourage for me!" ”
Ye Yu's words were exchanged for a moment of silence, but the yellow-faced man nodded quietly and walked straight out of the door.
On the second day, not long after Ye Yu got up, Liu Ying came to visit, saying that he wanted to visit the customs of Shaoxing Mansion and wanted to invite him to accompany him.
Although Ye Yu didn't know what Liu Ying meant, he also wanted to take this opportunity to make a private visit to see how the people of Shaoxing Mansion were.
So they agreed to Liu Ying's invitation, and the two went down to Lanzhu Mountain with their entourage and went straight to the city of Shaoxing.
The bustling streets, although not as bustling and lively as the capital Lin'an, are also unique local characteristics.
The two chatted all the way, visited the beautiful scenery of the city from time to time, and finally stopped at a teahouse to rest.
"Brother Ye is dignified and talented, he must be a famous person......"
Ye Yu waved his hand and said modestly: "It's not a secret, although Ye likes couplets, he is not very good at poetry and articles, so he is still in white clothes, ashamed!" Ashamed! ”
"Hahaha, Brother Ye laughed......"
Regarding Ye Yu's response, Liu Ying was obviously skeptical. But Ye Yu refused to tell the truth, and he had no choice.
The two chatted about trivial matters like this, and at this time, an entourage who followed Liu Ying went up to the teahouse and whispered a few words to Liu Ying.
After hearing this, Liu Ying nodded and looked embarrassed, and then apologized to Ye Yu and said: "Brother Ye, Liu has a distant uncle who has settled here, so I just listened to the report from my entourage, and my uncle was furious for some trivial things, so the younger brother must go back in time, and I hope that Brother Ye will ......forgive me."
"Oh, since Brother Liu has something important to do, how dare Ye keep it, it's not too late for you and me to get together another day, it's important to get down to business!"
"Thank you Brother Ye for your understanding and farewell!" Liu Ying gratefully arched her hand to Ye Yu, and then hurried down the teahouse.
Not long after Liu Ying left, Ye Yu also left the teahouse.
He came to Weifu for a private visit to inspect the government affairs and public affairs of various states, but he can't play in the market.
However, as soon as he walked out of the teahouse, Liu Ying's entourage rushed over, and hurriedly bowed his hand to Ye Yu and said, "Young Master Ye, my young master is invited!" ”
"Oh? What is your young master looking for me? Ye Yu had doubts in his heart, he had just left, why did he go and return again.
"Just now, my son-in-law heard that my uncle was furious, and after I went back and asked the reason, I found out that it was because of a calligraphy and painting that was difficult to distinguish the authenticity......"
"My son-in-law knows that Ye Gongzi's calligraphy is exquisite, and his eyesight must be good, so I sent a villain to ask Ye Gongzi to argue the authenticity!"
"This ......"
Ye Yu wanted to refuse this matter, but after thinking about it, since others were bent on fists, if he didn't go forward to distinguish it, it would seem that he was not interesting enough. Besides, just identifying a calligraphy and painting doesn't take much time.
After hesitating for a moment, he finally nodded: "Okay, lead the way ahead......"
"I'm tired of Ye Gongzi."
After crossing the street and passing through two alleys, you will come to a house in the south of the city.
There were many people gathered outside the courtyard gate, and Ye Yu couldn't help frowning slightly when he looked at the crowd on the third floor and the outer three floors here.
Seeing Ye Yu's puzzled face, the entourage explained: "Uncle thinks that he has purchased a genuine work, and is planning to burn it with a fire. ”
"Oh, I see."
At this time, the crowd was separated, and Ye Yu followed the entourage to enter the house.
But at this time, Ye Yu felt a little strange, because everyone on the lookers looked at him very wrongly.
Ye Yu was about to ask again, when the housekeeper and a few family members came to the courtyard, hugging Ye Yu in the middle to prevent him from leaving.
"Guys, this is ......"
Ye Yu looked at the family in front of him for unknown reasons, wondering if this was going to fight in a group?
The middle-aged man who looked like a housekeeper smiled and said, "This son, since you are here to be selected, follow me in!" ”
"Should I be chosen? What should you choose? Ye Yu was stunned when he heard this, and said in his heart.
The housekeeper looked at Ye Yu, stroked his three-inch beard and nodded with satisfaction, and did not blame Ye Yu for not knowing it.
Instead, he was kind and pleasant, and asked with a chuckle: "Are you Ye Gongzi?" ”
"Yes, it's the surname Ye below, but ......"
"That's right, there is a young man who threatens his brother, that is, Ye Gongzi, if Pan An is talented, he is the best candidate for my third lady to choose a husband and a husband for the master!"
Choosing a husband? Choosing a son-in-law? Ye Yu was really speechless when he heard this, and then turned around to look for the entourage who followed Liu Ying, but he had already disappeared.
"This housekeeper, I'm really sorry, the junior is just passing by here, and he has no intention of choosing. It will inevitably affect the choice of husband for the third lady of your house, and Ye will leave first! ”
But the housekeeper just refused to relax, and said solemnly: "Since you have no intention of applying, why did you enter this gate?" ”
"This ...... In fact, it was a misunderstanding...... "Ye Yu wanted to say that he was deceived by Liu Ying, but now can he say it clearly?
The butler snorted coldly: "Misunderstanding? Let's just go, where are you the Cao family? Do you know that my lord's nephew is the prefect of this Shaoxing Mansion? ”
