Chapter 55: A Thousand Knots

It was the third old man Zhuang Qin who came down from downstairs and scolded, his voice was loud and stern.

The people upstairs changed their faces when they heard it.

Thinking about it, the second brother Zhuang Pu and Yu Qi will be condemned for this discussion. At the moment, they exchanged glances with each other, showing uneasiness, waiting for the old man to paging downstairs. After a while, I heard heavy footsteps coming up the stairs.

The old man didn't let them go down, but came up on his own. The third old man Zhuang Qin was in front, the eldest old man Zhuang Xi, and the fourth old man Zhuang Yao followed. When they stood in the hallway, the children saluted respectfully.

After the third old man Zhuang Qin came up, his cold eyes never moved away from Zhuang Pu's face, and he looked at him fiercely. Everyone is done. Zhuang Qin invited the eldest master Zhuang Xi to sit at the table first, and when he sat down with the fourth master Zhuang Yao, Zhuang Qin said loudly: "It's really unreasonable, there is no ink in the stomach, and I don't know how to talk about it shamelessly." Fortunately, our own family members heard it, and if we were so ashamed to speak so loudly in front of others, it would be enough to make people laugh. Let me ask you, have you corrected yesterday's article? ”

Yu Qi knew that the third master didn't blame himself, but blamed Zhuang Pu every sentence, and he looked a little guilty. It can be seen that the appearance of the third old man Zhuang Qin is fierce, and she imagined that it was this face that killed Zhuo Fumanmen. At this moment, she hooked her head, raised slightly, and looked straight ahead.

It just so happened that Zhuang Pu turned his head with a red face and red ears, and made eye contact with Yu Li, there was helplessness and shame here, maybe Zhuang Pu was afraid that Lu Qi would underestimate himself, so he raised his head and said to his father Zhuang Qin: "The article should be as easy to understand as it is spoken." The lord asked me to change it, but I don't know how to change it. ”

Zhuang Qin said angrily: "Go!" Bring me the manuscript you made yesterday! I don't know how to change, this half a day, we will teach you to change! ”

Zhuang Pu did not move.

The eldest master Zhuang Xi and the fourth master Zhuang Yao are familiar with the temperament of this nephew, looking at his appearance, most of them refuse to obey, and there are younger brothers and sisters and others at this moment, in case they are horizontal, wouldn't it make his father look disgraced? So, the two masters smiled and persuaded Zhuang Pu once.

Zhuang Xi said: "Pu'er doesn't like to read, so let's put it into the barracks and let you go to the border!" To those places, you are willing to talk to the sky and the earth, to the trees and flowers. Now, at home, at the feet of the Son of Heaven, you have to do what you should do! Listen to your father, get the manuscript quickly! While your fourth uncle is also here, comment together, lest you feel that your father is targeting you! ”

The fourth old man, Zhuang Yao, also said casually: "Very much! Go ahead! Take advantage of our free time for half a day, and discuss a few sentences. With your father here, it's a good time to get into the benefits. ”

With the steps down, Zhuang Pu ordered his personal servant Cai Tong to pick up the manuscript.

The rich boy went for a long time, but he didn't find it on the bookshelf, Zhuang Pu took this opportunity to leave, went to find it by himself, and when he got there, he scolded the rich boy a few words, but he was actually angry. But the rich boy was wronged and was angry. When his father heard this, he said to the remaining two masters: "Look, look!" If you don't behave properly, you blame others! If he is with his younger brothers and sisters again, he will be ruined sooner or later! ”

Zhuang Xi and Zhuang Yao smiled and comforted a few words.

At that time, Zhuang Pu brought the manuscript and reluctantly handed it to his father.

His father Zhuang Qin took it, looked at it roughly, pointed to the words on the paper, and said this, that, about a few places where the words were wrong, and passed it to Zhuang Yao. After Zhuang Yao saw it, he smiled and said: "There are arts and sciences, but the beauty is insufficient. There is no beauty in the eyes, and there is no feeling in the heart. How can you enjoy without feeling? ”

Zhuang Qin said: "Such laymen, where can they know this." Then he asked Zhuang Pu to read the manuscript aloud.

Zhuang Pu was unwilling, and his father said: "I know that I am vulgar, and I dare not speak." But the courage of the big man is used to talk about other things and mislead his own children! If you had been placed in the court before the ancients, you would have been a heinous sinner. ”

Zhuang Jue listened, felt sorry for his brother, and muttered: "The master is a little stricter, and my brother didn't say anything." ”

Zhuang Qin raised his hand and pointed at Zhuang Ying angrily, and said, "After that, I am kissing you, and there is no time for you to speak at this moment." Seeing that the girls were all frightened, Zhuang Qin suppressed his anger and said in a different tone: "I heard that your sisters and sisters have some talents, so I agreed to let them study with them for a few days." It is true to have a gentleman to guide you in reading and learning, but when there is no appropriate mentor, you should borrow the strengths of others, make up for your own shortcomings, learn from each other, and benefit each other. Yesterday, I read the articles written by the two of you, and your eldest brother was a hundred times better than you when he was ten years old. In front of your sisters and sisters, you are not afraid of being embarrassed! ”

Zhuang Yu wanted to say a word for his second brother, but he didn't think of provoking his father to say this.

The eldest lord Zhuang Xi was very pleased to see that the third master took his son Zhuang Xi as an example, nodded his head, and said: "Now, your eldest brother is no longer good, and the only people in the house value you two the most." Don't blame you lord for being harsh. If the old lady knew about your article, it would be more severe than that. But you have to be careful. ”

The old man often shouts at people on weekdays, and rarely talks like this.

Zhuang Pu saw that they were sentence by sentence, and his heart was also weak, so he shook off the paper, woke up his throat at the text, and roughly signaled to everyone that he was going to read the text.

Everyone understood, and they all held their breath, watching, and waiting.

After Zhuang Pu coughed, he glanced at everyone a little to see what their expressions were, and then opened his mouth to read the manuscript in his hand, only to see him say: "Grateful to the prince of the sage in the capital, I occasionally express a sacrifice to write people's sorrows, and the text is as follows: This king, his life is very legendary, and no one can match it in the four dynasties." I heard that when he was born, he was the noble king, and the seven-star Beidou was not as good as him, a generation of county kings, two generations of court officials, three generations of princes, and four generations of prime ministers.

If you want to say that the king's great achievements are countless, look at the military, political and diplomatic confrontation, and look at the construction of the inner garden of the heavenly court, which leads to the sky inside and outside. Yes! What an amazing king. No wonder they can enjoy the grace of the 'hereditary repudiation' of the Heavenly Dragon.

We are to look to Him! Miss him!

Therefore, I wrote this sacrificial text, and I didn't say much, but every sentence was sincere, and every word was sincere, and the sky could learn from it! ”

At this point, Zhuang Pu stopped his voice and stopped reading.

The younger siblings standing next to them couldn't help but cover their mouths and laugh when they heard it.

The eldest lord Zhuang Xi and the fourth lord Zhuang Yao endured it and just nodded.

Zhuang Qin was already so angry that his face turned black, and his angry eyes were about to burst, seeing that Zhuang Pu stopped and didn't continue to read, he urged: "No? ”

Zhuang Pu said: "No! ”

Zhuang Qin said: "I remember one more sentence! Don't you dare to read it! ”

Zhuang Pu reopened the paper, raised his head with his chest held high, as if announcing a holy decree, and he said aloud: "The last sentence is: 'Master, am I writing sincerely? Is it sincere? ’”

When the sound stopped, Zhuang Yu and Zhuang Yu couldn't hold it back, and laughed, and then, Zhuang Yu, Cao Yingguan, Zhuang Jue, and Zhuang Ying also laughed. Those who don't laugh are only two grandmothers.

Zhuang Qin flicked his sleeves, reached out and tore off the manuscript in Zhuang Pu's hand, and said: "Dog's mouth and rabbit teeth, bad words, flattery, and irony." Are these clumsy words also called articles? ”

The more Zhuang Qin talked, the more he didn't give face. Zhuang Xi waved his hand to mediate and said, "I read Pu'er's article, and it has to be greatly changed." ”

Zhuang Qin said: "Speaking of a big change, it was the old man who gave him face, and he had to do it again." It is necessary to consider every word, and every sentence is sincere. ”

Zhuang Pu listened with a stiff face and didn't say a word.

Listening to Zhuang Qin's complaining and scolding again, Yu Li, who was standing on the side, couldn't help but be angry, she smiled, walked out half a step slightly, gave Zhuang Qin a salute, and said in a harmonious voice: "The old man is angry, Qi'er thinks that the words in the world are the same, the words are the same, and the meanings of the words are not equal. The ancients summed it up well, and there are words and words, elegance, literature, and law, all of which express different feelings. These divisions did not appear in a dynasty, the source came from Chu Ci, Xun and Song Yu's Fu, there is a world of difference, Song Yu and Sima are similar, it is more difficult to compare. How can "Red Cliff Fu" be compared with "Luo Shen Fu"? How is "Luo Shen Fu" compared to "A Fang Gong Fu"? The second brother's text, if it is said to be fu, I also agree, if it is not fu, I do not object. It's just that the sacrificial text is the remembrance of the expressor, and the actual record is in the second brother's text, both of which are there. Therefore, Qi'er thought that the old man was a little harsh. ”

These words were not loud, but they hit people's hearts with every word. The one who was hit the hardest was the third master Zhuang Qin, who was dumbfounded by Yu Qi.

After Yu Qi finished speaking, the resentment that had existed in his heart for a long time was vented in an instant, and his spirit was extremely comfortable and happy.

Zhuang Ying and the others couldn't believe that Yu Qi would contradict the old man like this, and they couldn't believe that she could say this, after all, the talent theories involved were too complicated. She said a few words and summed it up.

Of course, Zhuang Pu is extremely grateful for Yu Li's righteous words. Previously, because of Mr. Guan's disappearance, he was angry with her, and for many days, he never let go, and now Yu Qi said frankly that Zhuang Pu's resentment towards her was now free.

I saw Zhuang Pu cast a smile, and Yu Qi understood it and smiled back slightly.

These, you can see.

Fortunately, the fourth old man Zhuang Yao showed amazement, and he was embarrassed at this time, and he praised Yu Qi and said: "At first, I heard that the girl who was in the mirror was fluent in literature and ink, but she didn't know that she knew so much. Call me a surprise! ”

Yu Qi hurriedly gave the fourth master Zhuang Yao a salute.

Zhuang Qin snorted, to the effect that he was dissatisfied with Yu Qi's blatant confrontation with himself.

The people here felt that the anger of the third master Zhuang Qin had been transferred to Yu Qi. The eldest grandmother was very anxious, and frequently looked sideways at Yu Qi, wanting to give her some hints and let her restrain her sharpness. But where does Yu Qi care about these, he is still full of spring breeze and is very proud.

The eldest lord Zhuang Xi waved his hand and said: "I see, there are still articles to be investigated, the third master and the fourth master are not busy first, and then theorize." ”

Zhuang Xi said with a smile. There's something interesting going on in there. Therefore, Zhuang Xi didn't want to leave the Red Mansion, for fear that there would be guests visiting outside, and he would have to deal with it, since the third and fourth masters were here, he took this opportunity to trip them up and let him accompany them for a while. This is the real meaning of Zhuang Xi's words.

I wanted to change the topic and end it when it fell on Zhuang Yu's article, but who knew that the third master still refused to let go of Zhuang Pu, and said: "I can't tell this stubborn son today, and everything that goes down is in vain." Since your sisters and sisters are copying scriptures, go down and copy them, and I will leave them alone today. ”

After speaking, he put his face away and said nothing, the third master was going to drive everyone away.

The atmosphere was instantly solemn. Girls, you look at me, I look at you, a little panicked,

Zhuang Xi and Zhuang Yao knew what Zhuang Qin meant, so they smiled and waved their hands to the girls, meaning to let them go downstairs and leave.

Then, the girls carefully saluted, led by Zhuang Xuan, and went downstairs one after another.

Cao Yingguan was afraid that the old men would be angry and he didn't want to be implicated, so he followed the girls downstairs quietly. Upstairs, only Zhuang Jue, Zhuang Pu and their personal servants were left.

As for what words were reprimanded and what articles were changed upstairs, everyone did not know. went down to the first floor, and everyone immediately surrounded Yu Qi to speak, blaming her for angering the master when she contradicted her speech and did not choose.

Yu Qi didn't refute, just smiled, and pretended to be a little apologetic. After staying for a while, hearing a burst of reprimands from upstairs, Yu Qi said to the sisters: "I'm dizzy and panicked, you will copy the Buddhist scriptures first." I'm going back to get my medicine. ”

When Zhuang Yu and Zhuang Ying heard this, they hurriedly grabbed Yu Qi and asked with concern: "Sister's old injury last year is not good?" ”

Yu Qi said: "The wound is in the flesh and skin, and the heart has palpitations. Pi Keping, heart, occasionally difficult to settle, my injury, there is a moment, how can it be so fast. ”

Zhuang Qi thought that Yu Qi was angry because of the old man's reprimand, so he said: "Sister Qi, the old man should not have intervened." You don't allow the little family to follow suit. ”

Only, Yu Qi is gas.

At this moment, Yu Qi replied: "My sister said that she was laughing, what does it have to do with me." I didn't rush to study, and it wasn't me who scolded. Even if you copy Buddhist scriptures, you copy yours, and I copy mine. It's irrelevant, why be stingy. ”

After Zhuang Qi heard this, he blushed and bit his lip.

Yu Qi gently bowed and went out with Sanxi. Later, the eldest grandmother followed two steps and grabbed Yu Qi slightly, who removed her hand, smiled and did not speak.

In this way, the sisters and the eldest grandmother watched Yu Qian Qian walk out of the Red Mansion and leave the Beifu along the road.

Out of the North Mansion, on the road.

Sanxi was bored for a long time, and finally said to Yu Qi: "Girls don't have to be annoyed, they have to beat and scold, and see that they are happy." Why does the girl have to speak for the second master. You see, the big grandmother is so worried......"

Yu Qi sneered: "The father of others, growing up in his age, is so narrow-minded, it is not as generous as my Zhuo father's family. Even if you live a thousand years, what can you do? The years are withered and the times are changing, so there are no new texts? ”

Sanxi frowned and said, "What did the girl say?" Sanxi didn't understand. ”

Yu Qi said: "If you understand, Zhang Xian doesn't have to write "Thousand Autumn Years". ”

Sanxi said: "What is "Thousand Autumn Years"? ”

Yu Qi's face was full of depression, and when he heard Sanxi ask like this, he couldn't help but "poof", covered his mouth and smiled, and sighed: "The heart is like a double wire net, and there are thousands of knots." ”

Sanxi smiled: "I understand, the girl remembered her hometown, weaving nets and fishing on the beach, and there were many knots on the net." Really? ”

Yu Qi nodded, but silently recited the words "Thousand Autumn Years" by Zhang Xian of the Song Dynasty. The words say:

A few squirts, and then a good rest. Cherish the spring and fold the remnants of red. The rain is light and windy, and the plum is green. Yongfeng willow, no one ends the sun and snow.

Don't pluck the strings, complaining about the strings can be said. The sky is not old, and the love is indescribable. The heart is like a double wire net, and there are thousands of knots in it. After the night, the east window was not white, and the lone light was extinguished.

Yes, at this time, spring and summer are communicating, and at this time, the mood is at the right time.

Of course, at this time, the footsteps are also close to Zhongfu, and it is about to enter the middle of life.

Yu Qi didn't know that when he came back from school early today, he walked to Shouzhongju unintentionally and bumped into the old people of Xianyuanan.

It's really a thousand knots, clueless, and hateful to solve.
