Chapter Seventy-Two: The Night of the Full Moon
"Master, this is too simple." The young master looked disdainful.
"I'll talk about it when we're done." Ran Yingdao.
"Master, you are too underestimating me." The master said with a smile, and came to a pile of irregularly placed bricks.
Without thinking about it, he jumped on the brick with both feet, and was about to step on the next one, when he heard a mocking "Wrong!" Word.
"Master, what's wrong?"
Ran didn't speak, but pointed to the brick behind the master that had not yet been stepped on.
"Isn't it okay to step on it?"
"You can't step on it in advance, and you can't leave one behind! There can not be repeated, both feet can not leave the brick at the same time. ”
"So that your legs don't twist into twists?"
"Twist? No matter what the flower, all you have to do is pass without a hitch. Then say 'easy'. Ran Ying said.
Only then did the master feel the difficulty, no matter how he planned the route, he couldn't avoid twisting his legs.
"Master, I'll do it again." The master let go of his disdain and thought seriously, skill, toughness, and strength are indispensable.
The first attempt, the planning was wrong, but the legs were still too short and failed.
The second attempt, he screwed himself down and failed.
Third ......
It wasn't until the eleventh time that the master barely passed, and it was too far from smooth. At this time, the master had exhausted his strength and almost lay on the ground, this toss was no less than escaping death when he returned from the spring outing.
"Master, can I rest for a while?"
"No, go on." Ran Yingdao.
The master had to get up, and according to the last trajectory, he saved a little effort.
"To what extent Master wants to practice, you see that I have passed it again." Xiao Ye moved to Master Ran, who was standing with his hands behind his back, and asked as low as he could.
Ran didn't answer, got up and jumped on the pile of chaotic bricks, and before the master could take a closer look, Ran had already stepped on all the bricks in a hurry according to the rules. Xiao Ye's jaw dropped in shock, he didn't see the master's path clearly at all, let alone the master's skills.
Ran finished this set without any respite, and walked to the master, but before he could speak, he heard the master bow down and say, "Master, the disciple understands." ”
After ten years of getting along with the master and apprentice, Ran Zi believed in Xiaobai's ability to comprehend, but in the face of this young master who did not have Xiaobai's spirit, Ran still asked more.
"Got it? What do you have to do? ”
"Disciple, I just understand a little bit of the truth of learning kung fu, and I don't dare to say the essentials." The master bowed his head and answered.
"This is progress, there are other things to be a teacher, and the rest is up to you to understand. Don't give up. Ran Ying said, waving the dust on his sleeve and leaving.
Bowing to say goodbye, Xiao Ye has since recognized this master, in addition to the worship of kung fu, the most important thing is: since coming to this space, only Ran has noticed the difference between Xiao Bai and Xiao Ye.
It wasn't until Ran walked out of the backyard that the master relaxed his body and sat down on the ground, but he didn't dare to slack off, and returned to the bricks after a while...... Until noon.
At noon, the foreign affairs officer of Dongsheng brought a few small officials to lead Hongyu back to the tomb of King Dongsheng for burial, Qiu Chu went out early to receive the ceremony, and the master and Wu regret and all the family members knotted the white cloth and sent the red jade on the last journey, and so out of the deep courtyard, only the master and Wu regret followed, all the way out of the inner and outer city to the riverside.
When I came back, I saw that the housekeeper was asking people to clean the mourning hall where Hongyu lived, and planned to let Qiu Chu live in, but was stopped by the master:
"The objects used by the red jade are placed in the same place, and the tablet is also placed in a conspicuous place in this house. I often come to clean it, as for Qiu Chu and Yingying first, wait for the school to be built and make room for her to choose. ”
"Master, according to custom, the old things used by the deceased must be burned, for fear of obscurity." The butler said.
"Ruby died of trauma, and there was no other disease, no obscurity. The steward just did as I was told. ”
"Listen to the master." The housekeeper replied, although he knew that the obscure qi not only referred to the infectious disease, but also the breath emitted when the person became shriveled or swollen after death, but in the face of the determination shown by the young master who usually made him the master, he felt the nostalgia of the young master for the red jade, and he was very moved, so he had to stop theorizing.
A few days later, in the afternoon, he sent to the little brother in the river, completed the task and returned to the deep courtyard, without resting, no matter whether the master rested or not, he went straight to the main hall of the master. After nearly half a year of getting along, there is no distinction between the master and the servant.
The door opened, and the young man in the house was writing something on the desk, and saw Zhang Song enter, "Yo, Brother Zhang's speed." This is less than three days. ”
"Hey, when I went, it was smooth sailing, and it was a day away, and when I came back, Zigui gave me a horse, and it took a day and a half." Zhang Song found the chair closest to the master and sat down, poured himself a cup of tea and said while drinking.
"Zigui saw the token, did you reply to the letter?"
"Zigui asked the little one to bring back a sentence: On this full moon night, Chi Scale Academy will teach."
"Oh, didn't say anything else?"
"I didn't say anything else, Zigui was very busy, just said this sentence and received the token, and asked the housekeeper to take me down to rest."
"Oh, I know, Brother Zhang is working hard and tired, right? Come on. The master threw Zhang Song a peach.
"Yo, Master Xie. The words have also been brought, and I have to go to the butler to hang a sign. Sir, you're busy. Zhang Song caught the peach and walked out of the main hall busily.
After Zhang Song left, the little master thought about it, and there were three more days to be the moonlit night, and it was also the first day of the foreign affairs conference. Zigui's words seem like an invitation, but it is not explicitly stated, what does Zigui mean? It's hard to fathom.
The master lowered his head and thought, but saw that the poems on the table had not been written silently, and the crooked font was really ugly. So the most important thing is to promise the etiquette at the moment, and the master somehow chose Qu Fuzi's "Lisao", fortunately, he has a good memory, but some words are too complicated.
No matter how big the paper is, it can't accommodate the master and his irregular font, and when he was about to continue the page, the master remembered the cloud beads that had not come in the past few days, and on the evening of the cremation of the red jade, the housekeeper had mentioned that the lord had come, but he had not seen it in the past few days, and the master was a little unaccustomed. Then I thought of Fangfang, and my heart ached faintly. The young master had no choice but to shake his head, trying to drag his thoughts back to Qu Fuzi's poem.
Several crumpled pieces of white paper settled, and the master looked at his masterpiece carefully, and couldn't help but shake his head and said with disgust in his heart: "This is called a brush word, a whole graffiti." When the courtesy comes, I won't be ashamed to die. ”
was thinking about how to cover his shame, but he heard a rapid footstep from far and near, running towards this side, carefully distinguishing what looked like Wu Xi's powerful and neat footsteps. Seeing that it was Wu Xi, he naturally didn't knock on the door, and entered directly, without any respite, he said to the master: "Go, follow me to meet someone." ”
"I'm going to have to accompany you later. In the afternoon, meditate. "The master shirked.
"More important than that." Wu regret didn't seem to be too lazy to explain, and dragged the master to leave.
