Time is gurgling forward like a stream, and the wheel of history quietly slides into the 25th year of Guangxu (1899).

The footsteps of spring have just disappeared, and the summer day that makes people happy and disgusted is coming.

This morning, Young Master Long finished Tai Chi in the back garden and was about to go to the east building to greet his parents.

When Young Master Long Zaitian went to the East Building to greet his parents, he had to pass through Jiang Cuilian's West Wing.

When he walked to the door of the west wing of the East Building, he habitually glanced at Jiang Cuilian's room. This is not a trivial look - he saw a charming, frightening and poetic shot - I don't know if it was because of the hot weather, or for the convenience of dressing, Jiang Cuilian only wore a bandeau (bra), a thin gauze scarf draped over her shoulders, and a plump upper body half-naked, sitting in front of the dresser and gently swinging the jade comb, skillfully brushing the green silk. Her round and jade back, like a jade carving, glowed with dazzling white light; A head of jet-black hair poured down, like silky satin, forming a strong contrast with the white skin; Black reflects white, and white sets off black, which is amazing and refreshing. In particular, the pink peach cheeks and half-wall crispy breasts reflected in the oval mirror are the most reverie.

Young Master Long was stunned - this Jiang Cuilian is more mature, plump, and charming than last year's Mid-Autumn Festival! Her delicate melon seed face is inlaid with two willow eyebrows with spring mountains and green, and under her eyebrows are a pair of autumn water-free apricot eyes; A pair of eyes as pure as spring water, there is a soft light; This is exactly what the genius Raphael has long been immortalized in his masterpieces. The white and red carcass is even more sultry, and it is even more soul-stirring!

The excitement of Young Master Long Zaitian's mind was tightly fixed on Jiang Cuilian's half-naked carcass, and at the same time, he involuntarily stepped into Jiang Cuilian's room.

Jiang Cuilian was engrossed in styling her hair, and suddenly saw Young Master Long's figure in the mirror, and she was so frightened that her soul flew away. She hurriedly stood up, protecting her breasts with one hand, and reaching for the hanger with the other to get her clothes; But it was too late - the dragon took a step forward like a god in the heavenly ghost, and opened his arms, tightly clamped Jiang Cuilian from behind, and kissed Jiang Cuilian desperately on Jiang Cuilian's pink neck; Then he turned Jiang Cuilian around, buried a fair handsome face deep in the cleavage above her bra, sniffed greedily, and inhaled it in a big gulp-the unique fragrance of a girl on Jiang Cuilian's body was refreshing...... Long Zaitian's eyes were closed, as if he was fascinated, completely immersed in the dreamlike warmth, forgetting everything.

Jiang Cuilian was stupefied by Young Master Long's sudden rudeness, she struggled desperately, and kept begging for mercy in her mouth:

"Young Master! Master! Let it go! Let it go! If she is seen by the old lady and the young grandmother, she will die......" I don't know if Jiang Cuilian can't speak, or if Jiang Cuilian who can talk doesn't get to the point - she didn't express her opposition or disgust (maybe she doesn't dislike or disgust), but said, "If the old lady and the young grandmother see it, you won't die."

"I don't ...... I don't ......."

It is often said that "lust is all over the place". At this time, the young master Long Zaitian was already fascinated by Jiang Cuilian's beauty and carcass, and his courage was greater than the sky; He didn't care about what his kind mother and fierce wife would do to him, he just hugged Jiang Cuilian and didn't let go; He still said "I don't" vigorously. He "I don't", I don't know whether it's "I won't let go" or "I'm not afraid", I only know that he said so.

"Smack!" Jiang Cuilian, who was tightly hugged by Young Master Long, finally pulled out an arm, and raised her hand to explode a resounding slap on Long Zaitian's cheek.

Jiang Cuilian is a subordinate, and she has admired Young Master Long Zaitian for a long time, how could she, how dare she start beating Young Master Long? There are several factors in this: First, she is afraid that Mrs. Long Li Xiangjun will blame her and say that she is frivolous. Second, I am afraid that Zhao Shuxian, the grandmother of the eldest and youngest, will have spicy hands and suffer from her flesh and skin. The third is dissatisfaction with the "coercive means" of Young Master Long Zaitian - feelings and feelings, that should be the two loves, you love me, the melon is ripe, how can you take advantage of the unpreparedness of others and forcibly molest it? That's why Jiang Cuilian was "rude in a hurry".

This palm was like a thunderbolt on a sunny day, waking up Young Master Long Zaitian from **, and he was shocked into a cold sweat. Ah! What am I doing here? How could I do such a ridiculous thing? In this way, Jiang Cuilian will think that I am frivolous and will look down on me. I'm damned! Long Zaitian was angry and anxious, hateful and remorseful, he hurriedly let go of his hands and stood there guiltily.

Just when Long Zaitian was ashamed, Jiang Cuilian had hurriedly put on a piece of clothing and was calming down. What a girl! Most of the excellent men are knife-mouthed tofu hearts - Jiang Cuilian saw Young Master Long's languishing and frustrated appearance, but felt that her actions just now were a little more impulsive, and she slapped them harder. After all, he is the eldest young master of the dignified Dragon Mansion! After all, it's the person you like! Our relationship is already extraordinary, extraordinary! Why am I so rude? No one has ever done this to me before! Maybe it was because the carcass of his own girl just now was too tempting, which aroused his lust, so that he lost control for a while and did something excessive, which is also human nature!

Moreover, recently, I have always heard Mrs. Long say that the eldest and young grandmothers are always not pregnant, and they plan to give birth to children for Young Master Long's concubine; and because of the fierce and difficult grandmother, things are difficult to achieve for a while; It is understandable that he may be depressed** because of this; But why did I just hit him? Thinking of this, Jiang Cuilian couldn't help blurting out:

"Young Master! Does it hurt? ”

Just these four words were gentle and simple, but at this time the dragon in the sky sounded as beautiful and beautiful as the sound of heaven, and as inspiring as the emperor's amnesty decree - the dragon suddenly came to his senses and replied busily:

"It doesn't hurt, it doesn't hurt, little Cuilian! I have offended you by my absurdity and debauchery, and I hope you will forgive me; I will never dare to do this in the future, if ......"

Long Zaitian was about to swear to the sky to show repentance, when Jiang Cuilian raised her eyes and saw Mrs. Long coming from the patio, she hurriedly raised her slender index finger and said "Shhhh With a sound, he motioned to the dragon in the sky not to say any more.

Ladies and gentlemen! Don't underestimate this "Shhh This "shhhh

However, Jiang Cuilian did not highlight Young Master Long's excessive behavior, but used a "Shhh Words, suppress and hide such a major event-this shows that Jiang Cuilian is not resentful of Young Master Long's indecency, at least she is resentful but not resentful.

"Cuilian, who are you talking to?" Usually, when Master Long gets up first, and when the servants wait for washing up and breakfast, Jiang Cuilian goes to Mrs. Long's room to wait for Mrs. Long, and then has breakfast together. Today, Master Long has already gone to wash, Jiang Cuilian has not yet come, and I heard someone talking in Jiang Cuilian's room, and Mrs. Long heard the sound and came over.

"Madame! I'm ......" Jiang Cuilian, who was calm, didn't know how to answer for a while.

"Who are you talking to?" Mrs. Long asked again, and the person stepped into the room. She raised her eyes to look, but saw that Jiang Cuilian's sideburns were messy and her clothes were not neat; and saw that his son Long was also in the sky, and his face was ashamed, and he was at a loss; Lady Long suddenly wondered in her heart - could it be that what happened to the two of them?

"Mother! The child was about to go to greet you and his father, but he ran into Cuilian, so he came in and said a few words. Long Zaitian tried his best to explain the situation to his mother in a calm tone, but his facial expression betrayed the embarrassment in his heart.

"Really? Your father has already gotten up and is washing, and when you have breakfast with your father, he will soon be going to the office! "What a smart person Madame Long is, she has already smelled something unusual from Jiang Cuilian and Long Zaitian's unusual expressions; But she didn't show her face, and sent the dragon away first.

"Yes! The boy is gone! ”

As soon as the dragon left in the sky, Jiang Cuilian hurriedly straightened her clothes and belted, helped Mrs. Long back to the east building, and waited for her to wash; Then they went to the dining room to eat together - Mrs. Long has never had a daughter, Jiang Cuilian is smart and clever, diligent and quick-witted, knows cold and hot, and won the favor of Mrs. Long. Therefore, Madame Long does not treat her as an ordinary subordinate, but pampers her like a daughter.

After breakfast, back in the room, Mrs. Long began to "interrogate" Jiang Cuilian.

"Cuilian! What happened to the two of you this morning? Madame Long used sharp words - she specifically used the words "you two".

"Madame! Not...... It's nothing. "Jiang Cuilian is in the period of Ai Ai, I don't want to say more.

"Nothing? Is it really nothing? Madame Long tilted her head, and two kind and sharp eyes were firmly fixed on Jiang Cuilian's face.

"Morning ...... I'm grooming in the morning, young master...... He happened to pass by the door of my room, and he ...... So he went in and said...... A few words. Jiang Cuilian was secretive and flickering.

"Was it just a few words?" When Mrs. Long saw Jiang Cuilian talking in a slurred manner, she knew that what she said was not the truth, so she asked deeply.

"Hmm...... Young master, he ...... He...... He hugged me. Jiang Cuilian thought to herself: If you don't say anything about this matter, it will be difficult to escape Mrs. Long. But you can't say it all, you have to say it "proportionately" - if you say it seriously, it will belittle and offend the young master, and make Mrs. Long angry and unhappy; It's too vague, and I'm afraid of causing Mrs. Long's misunderstanding, thinking that she is not dignified, **Young Master Long; So she was concise and to the point.

"What? In the days he ...... He hugged you? "Madame Long knew that Jiang Cuilian was a smart and honest person, and she spoke in a measured manner; She can talk about it to this point, which shows that the problem is not ordinary! As for how uncommon it is, Mrs. Long thinks it's better not to ask - if you break the casserole (ask) to the end, it will only embarrass everyone. Therefore, she "fuzzy" and no longer pursued, but changed the conversation:

"Cuilian! This has happened today! It's all my son's absurdity, and I make amends to you here, please don't be angry. But you also have to be careful not to have anything like this happen again; If you make things bigger, it's hard to clean up. Besides, you don't know the temper of the young grandmother, if she hears any gossip, it will turn the world upside down! ”

This Mrs. Long has always been shrewd and capable, and she speaks and does things without leakage. But today, when dealing with the issue of Long Zaitian and Jiang Cuilian, she seems to be a little "confused" - she only said, "If the young grandmother hears any gossip, she will make a fuss!" However, he did not clearly state his attitude of "resolutely opposing and never tolerating". Could it be that she is really confused today? Definitely! "Pity the hearts of parents all over the world!" Mrs. Long, who has always been shrewd and upright, had a trace of inexplicable thoughts in her heart at this time-she neither wanted nor wanted anything to happen to her precious son and her descendant Jiang Cuilian; But she seemed to think again: If the baby son really had something to do with this pretty good Jiang Cuilian, or even conceived a child, wouldn't it be ...... This is the reason why Mrs. Long, who is eager for her grandson, is "rarely confused" today.

However, because Mrs. Long had this "rare confusion" today, she did not nip Long Zaitian and Jiang Cuilian's "improper behavior" in the bud, so the two of them got a kind of misdirection, a "wrong signal" - Mrs. Long probably didn't object to them.

"Madame! You don't pay me anything, but you can break me. It's over, and I'm not angry. And I will definitely pay attention in the future that nothing like this will happen again. Jiang Cuilian also followed Mrs. Long's meaning, and expressed her attitude in an "official article".

"That's it! That's the end of the matter, don't mention it again! "Madame Long brought the day to a close.

Time flies, and the cold and heat push each other. Before I knew it, another year had passed, and it was the end of summer when "the green poplars and egrets are all complacent, and the water and mountains are all loved".

That night, Long Zaitian had dinner at his friend Sun Zhipeng's house, and returned to Longfu in the evening breeze, but saw that Zhao Shuxian was not at home, so he asked Zhao Shuxian's new maid Lan Xinmei:

"Xinmei, where is the young grandmother?"

"Back to the young master! After you went out in the morning, someone came to the young grandmother's mother's house and said that the young grandmother's sister-in-law gave birth to a son today, so she went back to her mother's house to help take care of it. Before leaving, the young grandmother said that she may not come back today, let me tell you. Lan Xinmei can also be regarded as sharp-tongued, and he speaks clearly.

"Then why didn't you go?"

"Young grandma wants me to tell you later, let me go tomorrow."

"Oh! I know! Go down! ”

After Young Master Long sent Lan Xinmei away, he went to the East Building to visit his parents.

"Oh my God! Have you ever had dinner? Your father and I are still waiting for you! After Long Zaitian greeted his parents, Mrs. Long asked with concern.

"A few friends came to Sun Zhipeng's house today, and I also ate with everyone at his place."

"Sun Zhipeng is a good child, young and promising; Although he came from a humble background, although he has never achieved fame, the silk village has opened well, and it can be regarded as a successful career! "Those who are close to Zhu are red, and those who are close to ink are black. Mrs. Long is very attentive to the friends that Long Zaitian has made, and in principle, she "makes friends who are virtuous and never helpful"; Bad people, she resolutely does not allow the dragon to associate with her.

"Now that the court is mediocre, Sun Zhipeng is reluctant to enter the office, so it seems that he can also show his skills in business." Long Zaitian said with emotion.

"People have their own ambitions, Sun Zhipeng founded Xiangtai Silk Cloth Village, doing a good job, and the wealth is rolling, which can be regarded as a lost corner and a mulberry elm!" Master Long interjected on the side.

The family was chatting in the house, and the weather outside changed suddenly and the wind was blowing; Immediately afterwards, dark clouds rolled and thundered loudly; Suddenly, the rain followed—the wind swept wildly in all directions with unstoppable courage and indestructible force; The rain was like an arrow from heaven, piercing the earth with ferocity; Lightning was tearing at the black canopy of heaven with all its might; Thunderbolts roared and exploded on the rooftops.

"Huh! Autumn is about to begin, why is there such a big thunderstorm? Cuilian! There's an umbrella there, go back to the house! Mrs. Long saw that it was raining heavily, and she didn't know when it would be, so she sent Jiang Cuilian back to rest quickly.

"It doesn't matter, I'll stay with Madame for a while." Jiang Cuilian is very well-behaved and dutiful, she doesn't leave just because Mrs. Long said.

"You go back first, there is a day to accompany us here, you can rest early!" Mrs. Long urged lovingly.

"Yes! Then I'll go back to the house first, and the lord and lady will rest early. Jiang Cuilian said, turned around and wanted to leave; Out of courtesy, she also glanced at Young Master Long.

After Jiang Cuilian left, the family gossiped for a while. Outside, the thunder was still roaring, the wind was still raging, the rain was still pouring wildly, it seemed that he didn't want to withdraw his troops for a while, so Mrs. Long asked Long Zaitian to go back to rest early:

"Oh my God! It's not too early for Chenguang! I don't know when the rain will be, so go back to the house early! ”

"Not busy! Shuxian is not at home today, so I will accompany the second elder here more. ”

"I don't want you to accompany me, we'll rest soon! Go back to the house! Wake up early tomorrow to brush up on your homework! I plan to go to the capital next year to participate in the "Hui Exam", get a "Gongsheng" back, and it is better to be able to win a "Hui Yuan". Master Long commanded.

"Yes! Then the boy took his leave! Good night to the second elder! The dragon got up in the sky to say goodbye to his parents and went out with an umbrella.

Probably the story of the faction - Long Zaitian Since he accidentally saw Jiang Cuilian half-naked and hugged the smooth and plump Jiang Cuilian last year, Jiang Cuilian's plump and dazzling carcass always dangled in his mind, making him think about it. Today, he went back to his room with an umbrella, and when he walked to the door of Jiang Cuilian's wing, he deliberately peeked in through the crack in the door.

Young Master Long saw that Jiang Cuilian had not rested and was reading a book under the lamp, so he took a step forward uncontrollably, raised his hand to knock on Jiang Cuilian's door, and lowered his voice and called softly:

"Cuilian! Haven't slept yet? ”

Jiang Cuilian was reading intently under the lamp, when she suddenly heard someone shouting, and listened attentively, and heard that it was Young Master Long's voice. It's so late, what is he calling? Ignore him! Jiang Cuilian of the "Ye Gong Good Dragon" style had palpitations when she remembered the scene of being held and molested by Long Zaitian last year. This night he knocked on the door again and shouted, what if something happened again?

It's still the same old saying - "Lustful and cowardly!" At this time, Long Zaitian saw Jiang Cuilian staring at the book intently from the crack in the door, and ignored him, not only did not "retreat in shame", but "retreated in shame", and knocked on the door louder: "Cuilian!" Cuilian! It's raining outside, open the door! ”

"It's raining outside?" I know it's raining outside. It's raining outside, you should hurry back to your room! What are you telling me to open the door for? Ay! What to do? Open the door and let him in, it must be no good; If you don't open the door, he knocked on the door so loudly - what kind of dignity would it be if it was heard by the lord, the lady, or other subordinates in the middle of the night? Ay! How can this enemy ......

"Cuilian! Cuilian! Open the door! Open the door! The dragon outside the door knocked and screamed one after another in the sky, and the decibel and frequency were rising.

"Young Master Long! It's not too early for Chenguang! You don't knock! Let's talk about it tomorrow! Jiang Cuilian, who was knocked unconscious, put down the book in her hand, got up and said coldly through the door.

"Cuilian! You open the door, I'll say a word to you and go. "I don't know if it's true or not, that's what the dragon said in the sky.

"Young Master Long! If there is anything to say, I will talk about it tomorrow! In the middle of the night, there are lonely men and widows, and it is not suitable to approach. Jiang Cuilian's tone became more serious.

"Where is the three watches in the middle of the night? It's only night! Open the door and I'll just say a word to you. ”

Really say a word and leave? What if I open the door and he doesn't leave? Not necessarily, he is a young master, and his words should count. Besides, if he doesn't open the door, he will always knock and shout here, and it's not a problem! If it weren't for the heavy wind and rain outside, I'm afraid it would have been heard by people a long time ago. Ay...... This enemy! I'd better open the door - Jiang Cuilian made a "wrong" decision that completely changed the direction of her life.

Jiang Cuilian gently opened the door and let Long Zaitian come in, and Long Zaitian closed the door as soon as he entered. Jiang Cuilian originally wanted him to open the door, but when she thought of the wind and rain outside, it was also appropriate to close the door, so there was no squeak.

"Sit down!" Because of the incident of dressing up and being hugged last year, Jiang Cuilian was a little more reserved and a little less enthusiastic.

"Hmmm! Good! "Long Zaitian also hugged someone last year, a little more embarrassed and a little less self-esteem.

"What do you have to say? Please speak quickly and leave. As soon as Long Zaitian sat down, Jiang Cuilian issued a urging order.

"I ...... I want to tell you...... He said...... "The dragon is in the sky."

"What the hell are you trying to say? If you want to say it, hurry up! Jiang Cuilian was afraid that Long Zaitian would say something "out of line" to her, or make some "unjust requests"; But if it is said, it is mentioned! Not necessarily against it.

"I want to tell you...... I love you! I like you! "Dragon in the sky" officially "spit out to Jiang Cuilian the thoughts that have been hidden in her heart for a long time."

"Young Master Long! You're laughing! You are a dignified son, I am just a servant, where is it worthy of your liking? Jiang Cuilian is not only telling the truth, but also "throwing bricks and attracting jade".

"Cuilian! I'm telling the truth, I really love you! I really like you! ”

"Young Master Long! I've thought about what you said before, but I don't deserve your love, and I can't love you! Jiang Cuilian planned to tell Young Master Long the truth that had never been revealed.

"Why?"

"Because I'm ...... I've already made a promise. ”

"You're already married? Hee-hee! Are you destined to Liu Kefan? Or is it promised to Li Hu? Young Master Long Zaitian listened to Jiang Cuilian's words, and was stunned at first, but then thought that Jiang Cuilian was joking with him.

"Young Master Long! I'm telling the truth, when I was at home, I had already promised Wan Fuxiang, the almighty son of the rich man of Xiaowangzhuang! ”

"You...... Are you really already married at home? ”

"Really!"

"You were very young at home, how can you already be married? How come I have never heard of you? When my mother wanted to tell you to Liu Kefan, she would rather find Li Hu as a fake stand-in, and I didn't hear you say that you have already promised to be married! Is what you're saying true or false? Long Zaitian saw that Jiang Cuilian was serious, and he was a little anxious.

"Young Master Long! What I'm saying is true! When I was thirteen years old, my father contracted typhoid fever, and my mother went bankrupt to treat my father. In the end, he still died, leaving behind a huge debt. In order to bury my father, I sold myself by inserting a mark; Later, my mother accepted the matchmaker's words and accepted the 'bride price' of the rich man of Xiaowangzhuang in the west, and promised me to Wan Fuxiang, the son of Almighty. Because I have no emotional foundation, I don't like the unattractive Wan Fuxiang; So he went to work in the city, and after making enough money, he broke the damn marriage contract. ”

"For the sake of twelve taels of silver, your mother will marry you to Wan Fuxiang, who you don't like and whose appearance is not good?"

"I can't blame my mother, I sold myself to bury my father. Later, my mother listened to the matchmaker's words, accepted the 'bride price' of the alvarent twelve taels of silver, and promised me to Wan Fuxiang. She did it as a last resort. ”

"That'...... Then I'll give you twelve taels of silver now, no! I'll give you twenty-four taels of silver, and you go back and get the damn marriage contract back!" As he spoke, Young Master Long turned around and went to his room to get the silver.

"Young Master Long! No! You asked Steward Feng to send ten silver yuan to my mother every month, and there are a lot of them now! Last year, when I was at home for the Chinese New Year, I told my mother that I wanted to take out the silver yuan you gave to return the marriage contract of the Wan family. But my mother said that people had saved us in the past, and we can't do it all at once now, so we have to wait for the opportunity to talk about it. So this matter was put aside, and my marriage contract with Wan Fuxiang still existed. ”

"This ...... In fact, it doesn't matter if you have already promised to marry someone, as long as you are not married, you are not completely a member of the Wanjia family, and I have the right to pursue you. "Long Zaitian is a man who walks in the world, has received the propaganda of new ideas, and has heard about the Western concept of love, so he unequivocally states his views and determination.

"Young Master Long! Is it a child's play? If a girl is married to someone, she has to start from the beginning, how can she be casual, towards Qin and Dusk? And, and most importantly, we are not in the right household, we are not commensurate and incompatible! Jiang Cuilian's words were seventy percent of rejection, and thirty percent of them were to see how Young Master Long reacted.

"Little Cuilian! Your ideological views are too old! What's wrong with the door? What is incommensurate and incompatible? What kind of woman is from the beginning, it is completely a rotten speech that binds women, and it is a cruel and cruel stereotype. For marriage matters, whether it is a man or a woman, they cannot stick to the rules, and they cannot fix their lives just by the orders of their parents and the words of matchmakers. We need to break the routine and break through the shackles; We should be responsible for ourselves, our marriage, our lives, and make ourselves happy as much as possible. The dragon was impassioned and weeping, and a pair of bright eyes seemed to have a crystal liquid rolling in it—as if he had felt it, and more so as if he were lamenting the unhappiness of his marriage.

"Young Master Long! I know your intentions, but the disparity between our two statuses is huge, and neither the lord nor the lady will agree; The young grandmother refuses to let you take a concubine; We are in the end, there is no result" Young Master Long's words caused a strong resonance in Jiang Cuilian's heart, and there was an urge to "smash the shackles"; But good wishes can't replace the cruel reality - Jiang Cuilian is still worried and worried.

"Cuilian! As long as you and I believe in each other in our hearts and love each other, even if the earth is desolate, we can eventually become married. As for the lord, the lady, and the young grandmother, as long as time passes, I will find a way to persuade and change them. Long Zaitian saw that Jiang Cuilian was moved and worried, so he further "knew what to reason" and expressed his determination.

"This ......" Jiang Cuilian doesn't want to push off the unsatisfactory marriage! Why doesn't she want to have a good deed with the suave Dragon Gongzi and make a lifelong agreement? However, he is a lowly subordinate, and Long Zaitian is a dignified son; Let's not talk about the attitude of Lord Long and Mrs. Long; The eldest young grandmother is so fierce and domineering, and the prefect Lord Cao is so high-ranking and powerful, where can you be responsible for this young master Long? How can you convince and change them?

"Cuilian! God sent you to me, we must go with the sky, love each other sincerely, as the saying goes, 'love and joy meet, wish to have a hundred years together'; we can't give up easily." Long Zaitian looked at Jiang Cuilian affectionately, and grabbed Jiang Cuilian's slender jade fingers, raised them to her nose, and sniffed and kissed affectionately.

"Young Master, ...... you" Jiang Cuilian muttered, and the hand that was grabbed by Young Master Long was powerless to withdraw.

The water is a matter of course, and the fire is rotten. Long Zaitian saw Jiang Cuilian like this, thinking that she had a clear mind and accepted herself; Therefore, his heart was full of joy, he opened his arms and wanted to hug Jiang Cuilian, but Jiang Cuilian categorically pushed him away:

"Young Master Long! It's not too early for Chenguang! You'd better go early! "A good Jiang Cuilian, at this "last moment", she still stabilized her position and stuck to the last line of defense to keep a girl's precious chastity.

"Cuilian...... You ......" Long Zaitian, who was about to eat men and women, was suddenly rejected by Jiang Cuilian, feeling very dazed and puzzled.

"Young Master Long! Give a dog a bad name and hang him! You'd better go back to the house early! Jiang Cuilian said resolutely.

"What is terrible? I'm not afraid! I have to have you today! The horny dragon couldn't help himself anymore, and hugged Jiang Cuilian tightly.

"Young Master Long! We must face the reality of everything, consider the consequences of everything, do not be emotional, and must not make a big mistake on impulse. Jiang Cuilian, who was calm and inferior, struggled to break free from Young Master Long's arms and pushed Young Master Long out.

"This ...... You ......" Long Zaitian looked embarrassed and depressed, and he was at a loss for a moment - he knew in his heart: Today is a great opportunity for Zhao Shuxian to be at home and stormy. And she has already said that she moved Jiang Cuilian with her three-inch tongue, and she saw that it was about to be done, but she made a 180-degree turn. What to do? Don't miss the time! If you miss today's unavoidable opportunity, I am afraid that "beauty will be hard to come by" in the future. No! No way! Don't fall short! You must not leave this room today, as long as you step out of the door, you will lose the person you like - the dragon is turning a pair of beautiful eyes in the sky, looking for a way to turn the situation around.

"Whoa! Cuilian! What are you reading? Young Master Long Zaitian suddenly saw the book Jiang Cuilian was reading on the table, and his heart lit up - isn't there a way not to leave?

"I'm reading the Four Books and Five Classics." Jiang Cuilian, who wanted the dragon to leave early in the morning, replied lightly.

"You can read the Four Books and Five Classics, it's really not simple."

"Oh! This is what Madame asked me to learn to watch, and Madame wanted me to watch it a long time ago! Her old man said that "Four Books and Five Classics" is a treasure for a person's life and life, and she must read it. ”

"That's true, so do you remember what the first part of the book was?" Young Master Long got the conversation and grabbed it, so that he could not be driven away.

"The first part of the book is 'The University'. Its opening chapter "The way of the university is in Mingmingde, in the people, and in the ultimate perfection" is really good! It aims to enable people to carry forward the upright character, make people abandon the old and make the new, and enable people to reach the most perfect state, which is the 'Three Guidelines'. Then he asked people to be knowledgeable, sincere, righteous, self-cultivation, family harmony, governing the country, and leveling the world; That is, 'Eight Eyes'. All the doctrines of Confucianism are based on these 'three outlines and eight objectives'. By following this ladder of study, you will be able to enter the hall and appreciate the mystery of the Confucian classics. ”

"Oops! It's really three days, when I look at it, I really don't know that our little Cuilian can see this "Four Books and Five Classics" on this part, it's really amazing! However...... "The dragon is in the sky, and he wants to stop talking."

"But what? Please make it clear, young master! Jiang Cuilian, who was eager to study, hurriedly asked.

"In my opinion, before you read these tomes, you should first read some so-called 'small books', accumulate knowledge, lay a solid foundation, and then read big books and famous works step by step; In this way, you can really read and read through the book. "Long Zaitian deliberately used the topic to play, the purpose is to rely on not leaving.

"Oh...... Can you please tell us more about it? Jiang Cuilian was so devoted to her studies that she forgot to ask Long Zaitian to leave.

"The so-called accumulation of knowledge is to lay a solid foundation. It is necessary to understand some common words, common phrases and some basic common sense first. For example: "What is 'shackles' and what is 'shackles' (ancient wooden shackles are "shackles", and ancient wooden handcuffs are "shackles")? What is 'Jane'? What is 'policy' (the bamboo and wood chips of ancient writing are called "Jane", and the ones that are connected are called "strategy", such as "Warring States Policy"). ）？ What is 'acupuncture' (acupuncture is a method of healing diseases with stone needles, and is now used as a metaphor for the fault of proverbs)? What is the 'laurel crown' (a hat made of laurel leaves, which the ancient Greeks awarded to a good poet or the winner of a competition, as a sign of honor.) Later European custom to take laurels as an honorable title)? What is 'Fu Xian' (When Pan Yue resigned from the Jin Dynasty and was idle at home, he once wrote a poem "Idle Fu". Later generations said that there was no occupation, and living at home was "leisure". ）？ What is 'jealousy' (jealousy is said to be jealous, and jealousy is said to be jealous). What is 'Chun Xuan' (in ancient times, the father was called "Chun Ting" and the mother was "Xuan Tang", so "Chun Xuan" was often used as the name of the parents in ancient poems. ）？ What is "public opinion" ("public opinion" means "car", "public opinion" means "car driver", and by extension, ordinary people; "Public opinion" is "the opinion of public opinion", that is, it refers to the discussion of the common people)?

"Also, what is the name of that board in the Emperor's crown? What is the name of the jade string hanging on the board? How many skewers are there? There are several jade beads in each string (the plate on the crown is called "Yan"; The beads on "Yan" are called "旒"; 12 on the crown; 12 beads each; A total of 144 jade beads)?

"Another example, how old is 'Age and Age' (twelve or thirteen years old)?" How old is Cardamom (thirteen or fourteen)? How old is the 'age of broken melons' (fifteen or sixteen years old)? How old is the 'Flower Girl' (seventeen or eighteen)? How old is the 'Year of the Weak Crown' (20 years old)? How old is the old man (耋 refers to the seventy or eighty years old, 耄 refers to the eighty or ninety year old)? What does the "ten thousand rides" of "ten thousand rides" mean (the four-horse horse-drawn military chariot is "one ride", and in ancient times, the national strength was measured by the number of military vehicles, and the one with ten thousand military chariots was a big country, so the monarch was called "the honor of ten thousand times")? What does "Rokka" mean by "Rokka" ("Rokka" is the day of God's creation)? ...... "The young master of the dragon is in the sky wantonly and gushing endlessly, and his intention is to not leave with Jiang Cuilian's "mushroom".

"Oops! How deep and rich are the connotations of these words? When I used to read these words, I always swallowed the dates, didn't delve into them, and thought about them in a self-righteous way. Listening to your explanation today, I know how to read a book, and I should pay attention to it in the future!

"Not only that, but it is important for readers to read more historical and ancient books. For example, Luo Guanzhong wrote "Romance of the Three Kingdoms", because he didn't understand history, he said that the weapon used by Guan Yu was a big knife, and he also took the trouble to name it Qinglong Yanyue Knife, which is just nonsense! Guan Yu in history actually used a spear, because the war horses at that time of the Three Kingdoms had never had a saddle, and it was difficult for the fighters to control themselves on the horses. If you wield a broadsword in both hands, and do not grasp the reins, and have no saddle, it is easy to fall off your horse; So at that time, there were almost no broadswords on the battlefield.

"There are also some people who don't know history, and even say that the ministers of civil and military affairs in the past were only allowed to hold jade wat in their hands, but not to carry weapons. In fact, on the contrary, since the Tang Dynasty, all civil and military officials have to wear swords and swords according to their grades, so as to demonstrate solemnity. It can be said that at that time, the sword was already a ceremonial tool and a Taoist weapon, rather than a weapon in the ordinary sense.

"There are still some readers who only know that there are "Tang Poems and Song Ci", but they don't know that there are poems in the Song Dynasty and words in the Tang Dynasty; If we trace back to the roots, this 'word' actually originated in the Sui Dynasty. In other words, there were 'words' as early as the Sui Dynasty!

"The so-called 'word', its full name is 'quzi word', it is a kind of long and short sentence poetry, so it is also called 'poetry', which is the meaning of the demotion of the poem. It is completely filled in with song beats, and each word style is a fixed number of words, such as "Bu Operator" fixed 44 characters, "Man Jianghong" fixed 93 characters, "Yangzhou Slow" fixed 98 characters and so on.

"All word cards have a history. For example, "Bodhisattva Man" is the name of the Tang Jiaofang, and most of them are dances of female disciples. Around 850 A.D., the female barbarian country paid tribute, with a golden crown and a golden body, and a body of Yingluo, called the 'Bodhisattva Barbarian' team. At that time, he advocated the production of the "Bodhisattva Man" song, and the scribes often said it. Therefore, there is the song "Bodhisattva Man" (word card).

"As for "Qinyuan Spring", the word "Qinyuan" comes from the garden of Princess Qinshui in the Han Dynasty, because the Tang people Li Shi, Cui Xiang, Li Yifu and others repeatedly mentioned "Qinyuan", "Qinshui Garden", and "Qinshui Forest" in their poems.

"There is also "Water Tune Song Head" because Tang Daqu has "Water Tune Song", and this word plate uses the first paragraph of the big song, so it is "Water Tune Song Head"; "One Cut Plum" is because the famous lyricist Zhou Bangyan of the Northern Song Dynasty has the famous sentence of "One Cut Plum Blossom Ten Thousand Bridges", and takes the first three characters as the word card; "Man Ting Fang" is because Wu Rong of the late Tang Dynasty has the poem "Full Court Fang Grass is easy to dusk", and takes the first three words as the name of the tune; "Butterfly Loves Flowers" is based on the poem of Emperor Xiao Gang of Liang Jianwen 'turning over the steps and butterflies love flowers' and takes three of the words as the title of the song, etc.; so the word cards are all proven; people who do not read ancient books do not understand these. ”

"Wow! So there is so much knowledge in the world!? Jiang Cuilian heard Long Zaitian say this, and was amazed at Long Gongzi's erudition and talent, and also knew that his knowledge was superficial, so she couldn't help but blurt out a sigh.

"Is there so much knowledge in the world? I've just said a little bit of it! There is so much knowledge in the world that I can't learn enough! ”

"Oh...... In the end, Young Master Long, his knowledge is too extensive! It's so impressive, I can't catch up with you even if I study for another 20 years! ”

"Where can my knowledge be called broad - outside the mountain, Qingshan Building, outside the building, there are more masters in front. There are so many masters in the literary world, we have to be on the edge of the abyss and study diligently! ”

"The young master is too modest! You are so smart, so talented, and you still say that, then I don't dare to talk about culture! ”

"Don't be discouraged, Xunzi in the late Warring States period said: 'If you don't accumulate steps, you can't reach thousands of miles; If you don't accumulate small streams, you can't become rivers and seas. As long as you persist in learning and accumulate bit by bit, you will gather sand into a tower and gather armpits into a fur. Maybe you'll be able to surpass me in a few years! "Long Zaitian is encouraging Jiang Cuilian, and he is also using rhetoric to delay time, and he will not leave.

"Whoa! Master Long! Let me ask you a question: In this "Mencius", there is 'Shun is raised in the acres, Fu Shuo is lifted between the plates, Jiao is lifted in the fish and salt, Guan Yiwu is lifted in the Shi, Sun Shu Ao is raised in the sea, and Baili Xi is held in the city. Therefore, the heavens will descend on the people, and they must first suffer their minds, strain their muscles and bones, starve their bodies and skins, empty their bodies, and act chaotically, so they are motivated to endure and benefit what they cannot ......'. This passage is so profound that I can't always understand it all, can you tell me more about it? At this moment, Jiang Cuilian was completely immersed in the ocean of knowledge and forgot to let the dragon go away.

"Good! Let me tell you: The first six sentences of this passage are about the six ancient sages and their history. The first sentence 'Shun is born in the acres' means that Emperor Shun grew up from the labor in the fields. The second sentence 'Fu said that it was between the plates', this Fu said that he was a native of Yin Wuding's time, and he had done the work of building plates for prisoners; The third sentence, 'The gum is lifted in the fish and salt', which refers to the gum moustache of King Yin, who once made a living by selling fish and salt, and King Wen of Zhou promoted him to King Zhou, and later assisted King Wu of Zhou. The fourth sentence is 'Guan Yi Wu is a scholar', this Guan Yi Wu is the famous Guan Zhong, he used to be a scholar (small official); when Qi Huan Gong and Gongzi fought for the throne, Gongzi failed to correct, Qi Huan knew that Guan Zhong was virtuous, and used Guan Zhong as a phase. The fifth sentence 'Sun Shu Ao is lifted in the sea', this Sun Shu Ao was a hermit of Chu in the Spring and Autumn Period, and when he lived by the sea, he was discovered by the king of Chu and later used as the prime minister. The sixth sentence 'Baili Xi is lifted in the city', this city means the market, the Baili Xi in the Spring and Autumn Period, in the Chu State, Qin Mu bought him back at the price of five sheepskins, and appointed him as a phase, so it is called 'lifting in the city'.

"These sages used to be 'subordinates', and they all grew up from hardships and hardships. Therefore, Mencius had the idea that 'the heavens will descend on the people, and they must first work their minds and muscles...... And so on.

"Little Cuilian! Throughout the ages, those who have become great tools have all been born in the lower classes, and they are all 'bitter people' who have worked hard to study. Sun Kang of Yingxue, Che Yin of Bao Ying, Su Qin of Thorn Stock, Sun Jing of Hanging Beam, Kuang Heng of Chiseling Wall and Stealing Light; Which one doesn't come from hardship? As the saying goes, 'from the grinding, the fragrance of plum blossoms comes from the bitter cold', and it has never been a strange man! ”

"Oh! I see. I've always read this in the past, and it's always plausible and vague. Today, I will understand all of you, young master, this analysis, I really benefited a lot! Master Long! What does it mean later in the book to say, 'Sorrow makes a man live, and comfort makes a man die'? Jiang Cuilian sincerely admired Long Zaitian's erudition and talent, and couldn't help but ask Young Master Long for advice.

"The 'life' and 'death' do not only refer to the human life body, but also to the spiritual consciousness and ideological soul of the human being. Sun Tzu was tortured and wrote The Art of War. Han Fei imprisoned Qin for "Difficult to Say". Qu Yuan was exiled to "Lisao". There is also Nazuo Qiu Ming who wrote "Chinese" after losing his sight. Lü Buwei moved to Shu to publish "Lü Lan". Especially after Sima Qian was tortured by the palace, 'his intestines were nine times a day', and 'his sweat was not stained with his clothes'. He endured humiliation and wrote angrily; It took decades to write the historian's swan song "Historical Records". This is because they have risen up in the face of adversity.

"Therefore, for a person, adversity and sorrow are not necessarily a bad thing, but even a precious asset, an unusual opportunity; Their lives are much richer and therefore much more valuable than those of mediocre people who were born in good times and did not suffer.

"As for dying in peace, the past dynasties have been arrogant and lascivious, violently ruined heavenly things, lost their power, lost their families, and lost their country."

"Oops, wonderful! Wonderful! Wonderful! High! High! High! The young master's high arguments are really profound and thorough, and he penetrates into it, it can really be said that listening to your words is better than reading a book for ten years! It was a great pleasure to listen to the young master's teachings. I'm going to have to listen to you a lot! Ah! Not good! Just talking, it's not early for Chenguang, you can leave quickly. "It's a good Jiang Cuilian, she was listening to it as if she was fascinated, but she suddenly remembered that she wanted Long Zaitian to leave her room quickly, so she unequivocally gave the order to expel the guest.
