Chapter 2 Heart-to-heart talks
As the old saying goes, "People are in good spirits when they are happy", and it is really true.
Yesterday, after leaving Fang Shuo's house, He Yan hurriedly sent the letter out. Today, He Yan made a lot of fun for himself early in the morning, and then he left the house.
As soon as they came to the courtyard, the maids were surprised why their son-in-law had to go out early today.
Humming a little tune, He Yan carried a large bag of things and went straight to Fang Shuo's hut, which was as light as a swallow along the way.
"Fang Shuo, open the door quickly." He Yan heartily knocked on Fang Shuo's door again. Compared to the last time, this time the movement is much smaller.
When he opened the door yesterday, Fang Shuo didn't give He Yan a good look, but when he opened the door today, the corners of Fang Shuo's mouth relaxed a lot.
Seeing He Yan's happy look, Fang Shuo spoke: "Seeing that you are happy, things must be going very well." ”
He Yan said with a smile: "With Brother Fang's strong help, this is not possible." As soon as I left you, I delivered the letter. Now that another night has passed, she must have read it. ”
Walking into the hut, He Yan put the tea paper bag on the table of the Eight Immortals, carefully stacked it neatly, and then saluted Fang Shuo: "Brother Fang, thank you here." Although there is no need to say much between you and my brother, the younger brother still has to thank him. Brother Fang, after this incident, we are not brothers, but we are better than brothers. Please bow down to Ho Yan. As soon as he finished speaking, He Yan had to bow down.
Fang Shuo hurriedly helped He Yan and interrupted: "Don't don't, I can't afford it." Our relationship has reached this point, and no matter how deep the relationship is, it is not good. This is the so-called over-the-top. I think that's it. Well, by the way, tell me how you did it. ”
"Oh, I'll deliver it myself to the girl's lodgings after you've finished writing the letter." He Yan said excitedly, "Guess what, I just happened to run into my father." It turns out that our family still has a friendship with the girl's family. Fate has arrived, oops, this is the beauty of God, and the coincidence is even more coincidental. Wonderful, wonderful. Brother Fang, let me tell you that girl and I are really a match made in heaven. ”
Fang Shuo quipped: "You stop first, although you sent a letter, but other girls may not be able to take a fancy to you with a letter." There's nothing to do, don't be too happy. ”
He Yan said unhappily: "Brother Fang, don't underestimate He. Let's not talk about your handwriting, it can be said that it is quite a true biography of Wang Xizhi, and it will definitely please her. Let's just say that the very emotional verses that I have excerpted from all over the place, coupled with my literary brilliance, must be fine. ”
"Oh, I think the problem lies in your lame writing." Fang Shuo teased.
He Yan was not convinced, and then began to brag about how his writing was, how he used the poems, and how cleverly arranged, saying that Fang Shuo didn't understand anything at all, except for the good handwriting, there was no literary talent at all.
Fang Shuo began to hear the amusement in his stomach, who thought that He Yan had been talking for a long time, and then turned to fantasize about what would happen to him and the girl in the future.
So Fang Shuo was impatient, so he pretended to listen carefully to He Yan's nonsense, but he had already closed his mind and meditated. He Yan didn't know, thinking that Fang Shuo listened carefully, and even more eloquently.
The two of them were playing in the house, and a young man and a woman came outside the house.
The man was dressed in a dark moire light blue silk coat, with a jade crown and a pair of cowhide boots with cloth bottoms. The woman wears a white moire silk dress, a red jade and gold hairpin, and soap and black cloth boots.
The man walked to the front of the house, and Shi Li said loudly: "I don't know, this is Fang Shuo's residence?" There's something to bother with below. ”
He Yan didn't like to be interrupted, turned his head to look at the two of them, but hurriedly got up and said happily: "Yes, yes, this is Fang Shuo." As soon as he finished speaking, he patted Fang Shuo's arm, and He Yan said, "Brother Fang, look, the girl I told you is now outside the door." ”
After He Yan patted it, Fang Shuo realized that there was a guest coming to the door. After seeing the two of them, Fang Shuo chuckled in his heart, he joked yesterday, he didn't want it to come true today, trouble was really coming.
Fang Shuo had to get up and return the salute, and said solemnly: "I don't know if a guest has come to the door, Fang Shuo's rudeness is still looking at Haihan, the two distinguished guests please go into the house." ”
Without waiting for the two of them to make a move, He Yan stepped forward and asked the woman gently, "Miss Mei, why did you come here?" Have you read the letter I sent yesterday? ”
"He Gongzi, Yi Qing is here for this matter." Mei Yiqing replied.
He Yan couldn't close her mouth happily, and couldn't help but want to chat with Mei Yiqing for a while, but when she saw the man next to her, she didn't know his identity for a while, so she didn't speak again. didn't regard himself as an outsider, He Yan enthusiastically led the two into the house.
After Fang Shuo removed the tea paper bag, the two entered the house and sat on the south side of the Eight Immortals Table together. He Yan followed and sat on the east side to lean on Mei Yiqing, and Fang Shuo sat on the north side after cleaning up.
The person who came was a guest, and Fang Shuo didn't have any early, so he had to pour tea to entertain the two. Fang Shuo opened his mouth while pouring tea: "The cold house is not well entertained, only tea, please don't be surprised." ”
The man arched his hand and said: "How dare you, how dare you, it should be my brother and sister who suddenly came to the door to ask Brother Fang to bear it." ”
He Yan hurriedly said: "It's okay, it's okay." Everyone is a family, a family. ”
Fang Shuo rolled his eyes at He Yan angrily, thinking that what he said was simply embarrassing, where is this.
"Brother Fang, please allow me to introduce first, under the surname Mei, the famous words, this is the sister Mei Yiqing. My brother and sister are here today because they want to see Brother Fang. Mei Yanhuan said.
Fang Shuo was puzzled: "Specially came to see me? Forgive Fang for being stupid, I don't know why Brother Mei came to see me? ”
Mei Yanhuan said: "Yan Huan inadvertently knew that there was a character like Brother Fang here, and he admired Brother Fang's talent very much. The reason why he took the liberty to come to see him was that Yan Huan wanted to invite Brother Fang to Surabaya for a get-together. ”
"To Surabaya?" Fang Shuo was even more puzzled.
Mei Yiqing Mei Yiqing raised her hand and gestured to Fang Shuo: "Yes, this is also what my father meant." Although Surabaya is a small place, it is also located in the beautiful scenery of Qingzhou, and now it is the time of the water and land road meeting, Brother Fang should not miss it. ”
"It turned out to be the Mei family in Surabaya, and Fang Shuo was able to be invited, which can really be described as a blessing for three lives. It's just a pity, I'm used to ordinary days, and I'm so natural that I won't bother. Fang Shuo refused.
When He Yan heard this, he hurriedly glanced at Fang Shuo, but Fang Shuo seemed to have his eyes on Mei Yanhuan's body, and he couldn't see it at all.
Mei Yanhuan heard Fang Shuo's refusal, got up and saluted: "Since Brother Fang wants to live in seclusion here and doesn't want to be contaminated with vulgar dust, then the two brothers and sisters Yanhuan will no longer bother." ”
After everyone laughed again, the Mei brothers and sisters went out and left.
Just now, Fang Shuo and the Mei family brothers and sisters were talking, and He Yan was not good at interjecting and talking. Now that the two are leaving, He Yan is holding back his words.
Patting the table, He Yan scolded Fang Shuo and said, "Brother Fang, why don't you go to Surabaya." People have come to invite you, what kind of shelf are you putting here? If you go to Surabaya and I will be with you again, then I won't be able to see Yiqing every day. Isn't that beautiful? Tell me, what are you doing here? ”
Fang Shuo listened to it and persuaded angrily: "If it is Mei Yiqing who you like the girl, then I advise you to die as soon as possible." ”
He Yan said angrily: "Hey, Fang Shuo, what do you mean by this." You don't also look down on Miss Mei, I tell you, you can stop, or I will break off my friendship with you. ”
Fang Shuo was angry and funny, sighed and replied, "you." Is this kind of person? I persuaded you like this because I saw that this Mei Yiqing was different from you, and she was also a cultivator. ”
"What's wrong with the cultivator, isn't you Fang Shuo also a cultivator? I'm not friends with you, so why can't I be together with Miss Mei. He Yan said angrily.
Fang Shuo said: "You He Yan is a rich and noble son in the world, so you should marry a woman from an ordinary family." The life span of a cultivator is not as good as that of a mortal, I think you will live to be eighty or ninety years old at most, but she is still young at this age. When your gray hair is thinning and you are old and dying, Miss Mei will prepare for you in case of accidents. You think that's okay. ”
"It must be the letter I wrote for you that let them see that I am a cultivator, but I don't know if Mei Yanhuan saw it or Mei Yiqing saw it. Just from the handwriting of the pen, you can see that I have practiced, and to be able to have this eyesight is really powerful, and it should not be underestimated. Fang Shuo frowned and guessed.
After He Yan listened, he lowered his head and was silent. After a while, He Yancai said softly: "Is Miss Mei really a cultivator?" You wouldn't be wrong. ”
Although Fang Shuo couldn't bear to answer, he had to reply: "The Mei family in Surabaya is one of the famous families in Qingzhou, and Miss Mei's father should be the contemporary head of the family, Mei Hongfu, who was in charge of the Qingzhou East China Sea League a few years ago. Mei Yanhuan and Mei Yiqing, brother and sister, should also be deacons in the alliance. After you took the letter I wrote and sent it to you, people saw the clues. They must be trying to invite me to the East China Sea Alliance. ”
He Yan suppressed his breath and said calmly: "Brother Fang, I don't know if I can still practice from now on?" ”
Fang Shuo had expected him to say this, knowing that it was useless to persuade him again.
On weekdays, although He Yan is always giggling and laughing, he is not right, but he is stubborn, and no one can look back. Fang Shuo saw that He Yan was honest and honest, and liked his temperament, so he became friends with him. Now it seems that in He Yan's heart, Mei Yiqing's weight is not light.
Getting up and walking outside, Fang Shuo said abruptly: "When you and I first met, I was often entangled by you asking about cultivation. I know that if you are only curious, you will not be able to endure hardship. So I didn't say anything more. Now that you are bringing up the matter of cultivation, I have something to say. ”
After thinking about it again and again, Fang Shuo turned to He Yan Zhengse and said, "Your family is full, you don't have to worry about food and clothing, you could have lived this life safely." If you decide to embark on the path of cultivation, everything will start from the beginning, and you will continue to practice penance, and the He family will not be able to help you in the slightest, you know. ”
He Yan said: "I know." ”
Fang Shuo said again: "Cultivators compete with each other very fiercely, and they are even more ordinary people. If you're not careful, you'll end up dead. You know the dangers. ”
He Yan replied, "Yes." ”
Fang Shuo asked again: "You are now thirty out of twenty, you have long missed the best stage of cultivation, and the path of cultivation is even more difficult, and you may not be able to achieve anything, do you know." ”
He Yan said: "I know." ”
Fang Shuo asked again: "Have you made up your mind?" ”
He Yan replied decisively: "I have made up my mind." ”
Fang Shuo praised: "Okay, the eldest husband should be like this. Since you insist on cultivating, then I will help others to the end, and fulfill your hard work, so that you can go to see Mei Yiqing again by yourself. It's just that whether you can find a beautiful woman depends on your creation. It's a good day, and you can't wait any longer. Time is running out, so let's go. ”
