Chapter 15 The Pearl of the Sea
But after a few days, the Lingxi opera book was tired of reading, so she came to the bamboo house again, just entered the courtyard door and heard a sound of the piano, she raised her hand to stop the servant's report, stopped and listened for a while, and said in her heart, there is really some "floating clouds and willow catkins have no roots, the world is wide and far away", so she walked lightly to the house, and sure enough, she saw Shen Yun was facing away from the house, sitting alone under the porch and stroking the qin, the tea soup in the house was boiling, and the mist was filled with the fragrance of tea, and there was an open book on the tea table. changed to a collection of poems again, and couldn't help but sigh, "Have you finished reading Zhuangzi?" ”
Shen Yun pressed the strings when he heard the sound, and when he turned around and saw that it was her, he hurriedly hugged the qin and got up, and said while saluting: "Yu Junjun, I'm done reading." After speaking, he hung the piano back on the wall, walked to the coffee table and sat down, first poured a cup of tea for Lingxi, and then poured a cup for himself.
Lingxi took a sip of tea, "Then you should tell me what you have gained from reading this Zhuangzi." ”
Shen Yun was stunned with the teacup in his hand, "This has to be said all day." ”
"Didn't you say that there was something you didn't understand before? It's time to read it, right? Just pick what you can read. ”
Shen Yun thought for a while, put down the cup in his hand and said: "When the concubine was young, she studied and swallowed dates, and she didn't seek much understanding, thinking that what she said at the beginning of the getaway was a satire on the ambition of the turtle and the dove who didn't know Kunpeng. ”
Lingxi was dumbfounded, "Isn't it?" ”
Shen Yun shook his head with a smile and said: "The concubine had doubts when she was young, since Nanhua Zhenren has been emphasizing that all living beings are equal, why do you still write this paragraph to do sarcastic things, who knows that after reading it this time, I have a new understanding, the dove does not know the ambition of Kunpeng, and Kunpeng knows the joy of the dove?" Since all beings are equal, what is the difference between the ambition of the Kunpeng and the joy of the dove? Presumably this is what the real person meant. ”
Lingxi's eyes widened when she heard this, "You woman, you like to talk about some fallacies, but every time you look quite reasonable, it's Qingqi." ”
Shen Yun covered his mouth and smiled, "Look at what Jun Jun said, the matter of reading is like this, but everyone has their own opinions, different ages, different experiences, and natural differences, what is there to be curious." The concubine still thinks that many of her self-righteous views in her youth are ridiculous. ”
Lingxi didn't know how to argue for a while, so he shook the poetry collection in his hand and said, "What about this, what new words do you have?" ”
"What new rhetoric can this have, Zuo is just two or three years older, and he has experienced more things, and he feels a little different when he reads it."
Lingxi nodded, "This makes sense. After a pause, he suddenly asked, "Which one do you prefer, the poet fairy or the poet saint?" ”
Shen Yun listened to her words, and he was angry, and said in his heart, you are not finished, right? But it was not good on the face, so he only replied lightly: "Each has its own merits, the poems are strict, and the poems are free and easy, all of which are very good." ”
"What if you had to choose one? You..."
"Why do you have to choose one? Can't you like them all? Shen Yun suddenly became a little irritable.
"Even if they like both, there must be someone who prefers more." The spirit rhino is still unrelenting.
Shen Yun sighed helplessly, "The poetry is bold, uninhibited, there is the beauty of 'clear water out of hibiscus, natural carving', breathing and breathing, you can peep into the universe, read heartily, like climbing to a fairyland with the wind, but you can have a feeling beyond the world." Although the poet is also very good, but it is too heavy, life is already very bitter, and it is always so heavy, it is boring, so if you want to say preference, the concubine still prefers the poet. ”
Lingxi listened to her finish in one breath, and felt a little displeased with her, so she only said "oh", lowered her head, and said nothing.
The two were silent for a while, and Lingxi suddenly said: "Manniang is so knowledgeable." Then he got up and took his leave.
Shen Yun watched her leave, and was feeling sad, but she heard a "Donggong has arrived", so she had to cheer up her spirits, and only when she stood up did she see that Xiao Cong had come in, and she hurriedly stepped forward to salute, but was supported by him.
Xiao Cong met a troubled Lingxi on the road just now, and at this time, seeing that she looked a little lonely, she had already guessed it in her heart, and while facing Gao Qinian, she glanced at her, and came over to take her hand and asked, "Lady, I'm hungry, what do you eat at night?" ”
Shen Yun withdrew his hand and said lightly: "I didn't know that His Highness was coming, I didn't prepare, let's eat a regular dish." ”
Xiao Cong let out an "oh" and pretended to be disappointed and sat aside to drink tea.
Shen Yun looked at him, sighed, took the headscarf that tied his hair, and went down to the kitchen.
At this time, Gao Qinian had quietly asked Luo Ying, who had been standing outside just now, and when he saw Shen Yun going out, he came over and reported the matter to Xiao Cong, he sighed when he heard it: "Lingxi, this girl, is really not afraid of causing trouble in the palace." ”
When the meal was served, Xiao Cong saw that only vegetarian bamboo shoots were added, so he asked with a smile: "Why did you only add a vegetarian dish?" ”
Shen Yun said lightly while being served by Luo Ying to clean his face and change his clothes: "Doesn't Your Highness love to be a vegetarian?" Isn't it good to go with your wishes? ”
Xiao Cong had no choice but to follow her down and say, "Well, it's good to be a vegetarian and don't kill evil." ”
Shen Yun sneered and said: "Heaven and earth are not benevolent, and all things are used as dogs, since all living beings are equal, what is the difference between meat and vegetarian?" Just because birds and beasts will struggle and wail, and will shed blood and tears like people, people think they should be pitiful, but they don't want to think about it, the vegetables, melons and fruits they eat on weekdays are plucked from the ground and cut off their way of life, isn't it a murder? They are fried in oil and boiled in water, so they don't hurt? It's just that people can't shout it, so you don't know. ”
Xiao Cong was stunned by her words, "Then according to the lady's meaning, let's not eat this vegetarian?" ”
Shen Yun glanced at him, "The Tao is natural, everything in the world should conform to its fate, the vegetables grown in the garden, the chickens raised in the cage are meant to be eaten, we have to eat them in order to meet the needs of the body, and to respect our own lives, so eating them is to conform to nature and be right, Your Highness has read so many books, and he doesn't even understand such a simple truth, it is really in vain from Mrs. Lu's personal teaching for many years." ”
In other words, you've read all the books in the dog's belly.
Xiao Cong smiled bitterly and pulled her to the dining table, "The lesson of the lady is that the palace is ashamed, and in the future, I must take out all the books from the past and read them well, so as not to disappoint the teacher's teachings and the instructions of the lady." It's just that if you don't eat these dishes, they will all be cold and can only be poured out, which is really against human ethics and nature. ”
Shen Yun scolded him, and his anger eased a lot, and he returned to his former suppleness, and the two of them ate peacefully at night, and when it was night, the two sat on the couch together after washing, Xiao Cong took her hand and said: "Lingxi is a rectum, and I never know how to avoid it, what do you say, don't take it to heart." ”
Shen Yun listened, sighed and said: "The concubine doesn't mind what you say about Ah Yan, she has her own good, you don't forget her, the concubine can't care, but I just hope you don't always compare her with me, the concubine feels that there is nothing worse than others, that is, she is not as soft as her, and she doesn't intend to please everyone, but she also has her own bad temper, why should you have to practice it." ”
Xiao Cong took her into his arms when he heard this, stroked her soft hair and sighed: "It's me who is not good, I have wronged you, and we will never compare in the future." ”
Am I the one who is the one who is rare in you?
After he finished speaking, he said: "As for Lingxi's side, I will find an opportunity to talk about her, and after calling her, don't worry about Qingqing." Don't worry, she still has to listen to what I say. ”
Shen Yun heard the sentence "Don't be idle and annoyed Qingqing", suddenly lost her mind, there were tears in her eyes, Xiao Cong thought she was wronged, so she coaxed her softly for a long time, and then on the night of her birthday, she overheard those drunken words between her and Lingxi, and suddenly realized why she was so sad at that time.
Speaking of Song Lingxi's arrogant temperament, she also has her own benefits. For example, even if you once had a prejudice against a person, as long as you tickled her in something, she forgot what she said regardless of whether it was really fragrant or not. Nothing else for the time being, at least in the matter of eating, she and Shen Yun are all the way, since the cup of soup, she looked for an opportunity to go to the bamboo house to eat and drink, although Shen Yun was angry with her that time, but she has always been easy-going, and she is not really annoyed by her, so even after that, she still treats her well.
Not to mention that feelings are eaten, after eating together for a long time and chatting a lot, these two people feel more and more that they smell like each other, so they become confidants and often mix together, which disappoints those who are waiting to see a good show.
So Li Ji and the others couldn't sit still, taking advantage of the absence of the crown princess of the East Palace and her Qinghejun, they dragged Zhao Yue to humiliate Shen Yun at the family banquet of the Yuexi Festival, so that she accidentally fell into the water and almost lost her life, Xiao Cong and Lingxi were naturally very angry about this, but Shen Yun insisted on the attitude of calming things down, and they didn't have a seizure.
At this time, Xiao Cong has been with her for more than a year, and naturally knows that this is due to her heart and her love for herself. Lingxi was greatly surprised, although she knew that Shen Yun was a broad-hearted person, but she didn't expect her to fight to such a point, so she was even more impressed by her, and said that in this regard, she is really similar to Ah Yan, so there is the section where she hugged her and cried after getting drunk on the night of the first snow, just for this, she was read by her brother for a long time afterwards, saying that she hurt people's hearts too much. Lingxi realized that his brother had already empathized with him, although he was a little unworthy for Ah Yan at the time, but fortunately, Shen Yun was really worthy of everyone's love, and the longer he got along with her, the more he felt that she was a fine wine, and she could withstand a fine tasting, and the more she tasted it, the more it tasted. Of course, that's all for later.
But it was said that not long after the Moon Festival, one day Lingxi entered the palace again to ask for peace, and chatted with Jinshang for a while, and the emperor suddenly asked: "By the way, didn't you say before that you were going to meet your brother to get that dancing girl back?" Why didn't you mention it later. ”
When Lingxi heard this, he sneered, took the emperor's arm and said, "Uncle, you don't know, my brother's luck and vision are very good. ”
The emperor said curiously: "How do you say this?" ”
"So a pearl in the sea was picked up for him, isn't it luck and vision?"
"You're very high."
Lingxi thought about it, so he picked up a few interesting things about getting along with Shen Yun these days and told them to Jinshang, but he was also amused by Jinshang, and said: "He is indeed a wonderful person." ”
"That's not all, you just said that she talked nonsense with us all day long, and even talked nonsense in front of children."
"Oh? And what's going on? ”
"Well, one day we were putting paper kites outside, and we ran to a clearing to see my brother asking Ya Shu about his homework, and he said: 'Then you should tell me, this gentleman Yu Yi, villain Yu Yuli is trying to tell us something', Ya Shu couldn't answer, and saw her savior Man Niangniang coming, so she hurriedly came to ask for help, but she actually said: 'This is very simple, it is to teach us to see people and talk about people, and talk nonsense when we see ghosts.'" My brother's jaw is about to be shocked off by her, yes, yes, yes, that's your expression now, guess how she broke it down? She said, 'Tell me, Speaker.' Therefore, the meaning of the whole sentence is that when you say one thing to the gentleman, you should focus on morality, and say the same thing to the villain, you must start from the perspective of interests, so as to achieve the purpose of speaking, because they have different visions and value different things, if it is the other way around, you and the gentleman only talk about interests, he will think that you are narrow and vulgar, and if you run to talk to the villain about morality, he is afraid that you will think that you have a problem with your brain, this is not the meaning of seeing people and talking about people, and talking nonsense when you see ghosts? Then I asked her, "Are you not afraid of teaching bad children?" But she said, "Do you think that Mr. has not taught Yashu the truth of this sentence?" But if she understands, will she still be asked by your brother? Children, what is the use of just telling her that there is a big chase or not, you must first tell her in a way that she can understand, let her remember, and then practice it in her life in the future, and gain true knowledge in practice, so that what you get can be used by her in the future. 'Uncle, tell me, isn't this strange enough? ”
Hearing this, Imakami laughed, thought for a while, and said, "Listening to you say this, she looks like a noble lady." ”
"And she's not an ordinary noblewoman." Lingxi added.
"Mmmm, interesting."
When Lingxi left, the emperor summoned Wang Zizhen, a personal attendant, and said to him: "You go and check this woman, don't let that stupid boy be calculated inexplicably, I don't know." ”
At the same time, someone happened to send the impeachment and report of the East Palace to him, he first looked at the investigation report on Shen Yun's life experience, and said: "This kid really picked up a night pearl." Then he looked at the song again, "Tsk, look at what this stupid boy has done." People dig a hole for you, and you really jump into it. It seems that I didn't reprimand you before. After speaking, he said to Wang Zizhen: "You go, call me for that unproductive one." ”
When Xiao Cong arrived in front of him, as soon as he greeted him, the emperor threw the song in front of him with a "snap" and said, "Take a good look for yourself." ”
Xiao Cong opened it and took a look, and sure enough, as he expected, this matter was still stabbed in front of the emperor by someone with a heart, and he was about to try his luck with the rhetoric he had prepared in advance, but he heard the emperor say: "Someone else digs a pit for you, and you jump down?" How can you be so stupid? Fortunately, jumping into the pit this time also made you pick up a treasure, otherwise it will really outweigh the losses, but before you do something stupid next time, use your brain, don't let me wipe your ass again. ”
When Xiao Cong heard this, he understood that the emperor already knew about Shen Yun, and he secretly laughed in his heart, but he still said honestly: "The minister is guilty." ”
The emperor laughed, asked some other political affairs, listened to his recital, finally nodded with satisfaction, and his heart was finally not confused, so he waved his hand to let him retreat.
Wang Zizhen, who witnessed the whole process, whispered and laughed at Gao Qinian: "How about it, your little fox was caught by the tail this time." ”
Gao Qinian said: "No matter how cunning this little fox is, it can't jump out of the palm of the old fox." ”
After speaking, the two of them covered their mouths and smiled.
Shen Yun was naturally ignorant of this, but he just hid the household registration album in the dark compartment of the makeup, because a true heart is the best gift in the world.
Later, when the list of promoted palace people reached the hands of Empress He, she also ran to the emperor and asked knowingly: "When is there another concubine named 'Shen Yun' in this Cong'er Palace?" Still suddenly want to ask for canonization? To say that he is too willful in these things. This..."
Jinshang didn't want to listen to her chatter, so he interrupted her and said: "Let him go, you said that he doesn't have any other hobbies, just like two little ladies, just don't delay the business." It choked her and rolled her eyes.
