Chapter Twenty-Five: If you want to hurry, you will not reach it, and if you rush in, you will only die
In the study, Jia Qiong and Jia Zhu are both studying for more than a month.
Today is also from the dawn of the study, and it has been nearly three hours now.
Jia Qiong put down the wolf hair in his hand, put it on the pen stand, looked at Jia Zhu next to him, looked at each other and smiled, both of them picked up the tea, signaled in the air, took a few sips, and moistened their throats.
Then he got up, stretched his arms a little, and moved his body slightly. Move to the window and sit across from the window. The window has been slightly opened, the drizzle outside the window, the cool breeze gusts, and the slightly drunk thoughts have been slightly relieved.
When I first came, I also felt a little emotional.
Thoughts are flying, as if from the day of return, if you just arrived at the small courtyard of Mengpo Zhai.
Jia Qiong took Jia Zhu and walked inward, avoiding the previous conversation, and walked forward a few steps, with a verandah in front of him, with a total of three large and small rooms.
In the middle is the main room of the study, along the verandah to the right, there is a small room for storing miscellaneous items. , and then to the right is the path leading to Jia Zheng's cross-courtyard, and there is a portal at the end, which is closed at night and open by day.
The study room is along the verandah to the left, there are two bedrooms, one large and one small, the large bedroom on the side of the study, and the small bedroom on the side of the west courtyard wall.
The bedroom is divided into two rooms, one large and one small, and the outer room has a small bed, a small cabinet and a closet; There is a big bed in the inner room, there is a big wall cabinet against the outer wall, there is a row of bookshelves on the wall cabinet facing another wall, there are still several books on the shelf, and the bed is facing a screen window, the window is the verandah, there is a willow desk in the window, according to the window, there is a willow back chair in front of the table, and the willow desk is full of four treasures.
The two bedrooms, one large and one small, should be arranged in the same way, so Jia Qiong chose a small room as a place to rest in the future, pushed open the screen window, and looked at the plum blossoms in the courtyard.
Put down the things he was carrying, and went out of the door with Jia Zhu, along the verandah to the outside of the study.
Pushing open the main door of the study, the two joined hands and entered the study together.
The study is quite spacious, opposite the door, is a hall; The left side is adjacent to the wall of the large bedroom, and the wall on the right side is next to the main door, and there is a small door.
On the right side of the verandah, there is a window, which is connected to the top and falls to the ground for the effect of sliding the door; There is a low table under the window, which sits on the tatami mat; There are three taels of cabinets and tables on the side for storage of sundries;
On the left is the main room for reading and learning characters, there is a large mahogany desk in the room, which is placed across the north and south, and the scholars sit in the west and look east;
Separated by the vast wall or visible clan ancestral hall; Close your eyes and reverie, you can also think about the heavens and listen to the grace of God;
Raise your eyes and forget the window, or you can see outside the window, Xiaoxiang Concubine into the red dust, if you look indoors, the tears and bamboos are also fairy. This is also the place where Baoyu studied in the future.
There is a bookshelf on the back of the mahogany desk, which is full of books and several pieces of porcelain; On the east wall, there are several paintings and calligraphy, all of which are handwritten by famous artists.
In front of them, there are two slightly smaller desks in willow wood, facing the windows. The scholar sat in the north and faced south, and there was a large bookshelf on his back, and the shelves were also full of books. When you are studying, you can take a book, and when you are free, you can sit and look out the window at Xiaoxiang.
What Jia Zhu said that day was not a forgetting.
"A single flower is not spring, a hundred flowers bloom in spring."
It also has a deep meaning, and what he said when he was just studying that day: "Jia is not fake white jade for the hall and gold, and Qiong is not poor and the side branches of Jiafu are really poor." It means the same thing, it is nothing more than that the Jia family is now strong and middle-class, although it is full of flowers, but the end is not connected, and the two dynasties are broken. Jinghua is not there, like cooking oil in a blazing fire.
That day is also a meaning, there are only a few bushes of green bamboos and a few plum blossoms left in the courtyard, just like the two houses of the Jia family.
Ning Rong has a branch on each side, but how can it be regarded as a flowery guard?
This winter is like the cold winter of the Jia family, and the cold weather will freeze all the flowers and trees represented by the side branches to death. How can it be called a garden full of flowers in spring?
Jia Qiong understands, and Jia Zhu also understands. Even Jia Qiong guessed that Jia Jing and Jia Zheng understood it, including Jia Mu, who might also understand these truths. But why is it indifferent?
'Self-cultivation, Qi family, ruling the country and leveling the world. It's not really self-cultivation, but to stand up, you have to have a certain amount of capital to have the right to speak, which means that they must get the right early, have meritorious fame or military merits, and civil and military are all the same route;
The Qi family deals with internal conflicts within the family, such as the slave tail is too big, embezzling the Jia family's money, dealing with lawless people, and so on.
Externally, to let the young people of the side branches in the clan stand up and stand up, these people must also have a certain amount of capital to have the strength to defend the main trunk, after all, the side branches are dependent on the main trunk to survive, just like the roots of a towering tree, branches and leaves, there is a saying that the branches are luxuriant.
If all the roots and branches of a big tree are cut off, then the big tree is not far from death, and even if it is alive, it will be hanging with a breath. If these roots grow anew, the tree will be resurrected.
To govern the country, only in a high position can you have a chance, and only when you have an official status and a strong family can you put forward your own governing philosophy, so as to avoid being liquidated.
If civil officials do not have families, do they govern the country differently? In fact, their family may be a little weak, but there are also political parties, such as the Zhejiang Party, the Donglin Party, and the Eunuch Party.
It is divided into several factions in the north, south, east and west, and then subdivided into factions of merchants and gentry, and there is no end to the list.
There is no need to talk about it in ordinary times.
Just when Jia Qiong's thoughts were turning and turning a thousand times, a figure couldn't help but appear in front of him, which woke Jia Qiong up.
It turned out that Jia Zhu also paced, sitting west and facing east, facing Jia Qiong. In the past, the two read and rested together, so they came over together to watch Jia Qiong rest, and they could also exchange reading experiences with each other.
Looking at Jia Qiong's waking up like a dream, a light smile appeared on the corner of Jia Zhu's mouth. His eyes looked at Jia Qiong gently, his eyes were full of exploration and exploration, although he ate and lived together, Jia Zhu felt that he didn't know this brother very well.
After thinking about it, Jia Zhu opened his mouth and said: "Brother Qiong, a month ago, you said to me, 'A single flower is not spring, a hundred flowers bloom in spring. I know this, and I know his danger.
That's why I said to you, 'Self-cultivation, Qi family, ruling the country and leveling the world.' 'I couldn't agree more.
However, now our Jia family's eight rooms in Beijing, the elite is gone, and the rest are people as big as you and me, I am twelve this year, and Qiong Di Ru is only seven years old.
In two months I will be thirteen, and you will be eight years old. The main branches and side branches are all withered, but time waits for no one.
The eldest brother Zhen is the one who attacked the lord and is also the patriarch, he will not move lightly, and Brother Zhen also has some of his ideas.
Brother Mei is missing, the second brother Lian and the third room of the third room of Brother Chen and the seventh room of the nephew are only two years older than me, Mr. Fangzhizhong's grandson Brother Rui and the sixth room of the big brother Lu are one year older than me, the junior brother of the Brother Ying is the same age as me, only the fourth room of the big brother Huang has reached adulthood, and this year has married the girl of the Jin family who went out of the house.
The rest of the years are one or two years younger than me, and the others are not much different from the Joan brothers. The side branch is like this, how to defend the main branch, I don't know if my brother can teach me. ”
Jia Qiong couldn't help patting her forehead, and couldn't help but sigh in her heart: "It's coming, it's coming, it's coming again, it's still been asked by you after a month." I wanted to avoid this topic at the time.
Brother, you're also a genius, don't keep asking me, don't you want to lose face yourself? Why are you so anxious? ”
Listening to Jia Zhuyang talk a lot before, he felt that something was wrong.
Scratching the hair on Baihui's acupoint, Jia Qiong forced herself to calm down and thought for a while.
Slowly raised his head, his eyes fixed on Jia Zhu's pupils. took a deep breath, and said slowly: "Brother Zhu, have you ever read Mr. Song Shitang's "Winter Hua Night Frost""
Jia Zhu listened to what Jia Qiong said, frowned and pondered for a long time, and then said: "I haven't read it, my brother can say a thing or two." ”
This is from a book that Jia Qiong had read by chance in his previous life.
He thinks it fits the situation of the Jia family very well, and even the surname is similar.
It seems that the Jia family has gone from prosperity to decline, including the general direction of the spring exploration and marriage, the name of the courtyard, etc., and even the Zhuzhu Fairy Grass.
(The author himself is very suspicious that everyone Cao read this article to write the stone note, and by the way, I will share the article with readers who have read the original work.) Now is the time for free, and the water word count is not counted. Here are some of my discoveries about Dream of Red Mansions, as well as the exposition of opinions, written in the novel, to share with you. )
After a little silence, Jia Qiong came to the bookcase and wrote this article silently.
Heaven and earth give birth to all things, and each has its own permanence. Unmistakable, the time to hide. Not only can you regret being stingy, but you can avoid being injured. If it is not as good as what you receive, you will cut it all by yourself. In the early winter months of this year, the creation is unknown. Yin and yang suddenly fall into planting, and even the spring light is like a dynasty. Ignorant peach and plum generation, the order is forgotten. Dotted on the old branches, they have gone crazy. Yigui is the first to advocate and play the crown of the group. The apricot is dry, and the pear is also like the snow fragrance. Xishu is not far away, and there is no bullying begonia. Luoyang is close at hand, and you can not move Kao. Frozen bees and cold butterflies are dead and stiff in autumn. Xiang Lingdang on this day, encourage another game. An Zhili is at ease, and this matter will not last long. The sky and the earth are in the sky overnight, and the wind is dark. Blowing up the water of the four rivers, it becomes ten thousand watts of frost. In the early hours of the morning, for the sake of attention, it is unbearably haggard. Withered and dead, laughing at generosity. There have been many such things in ancient times, and the history has looked at each other for a long time. Only those who know will not advance or retreat. There must be three hires, and the soup will be made from the beginning. The grass house also looked at it three times, and then started Nanyang. Ten thousand cows can't save it, and the bait is not enough to taste. As soon as Jia Sheng was summoned, he was not expected to be next to the emperor. I don't know how angry it is, and it plummets. Filial piety and this, not to mention Emperor Jingwu. Shen Yuan saw Han Wu, and the seat did not warm the guest bed. Zhao Zhao Wan Gu Prison, Zhao Juan and Wang Zang. At that time, the pu wheel came, and the old pushes were all soaring. I know Qingyun Road, and it became a disaster in a blink of an eye. Most of the world's affairs, advance and retreat are expensive. If you want to hurry, you can't reach it, and you will only die if you rush in. Good people are in a hurry, and good deeds should be guarded against. Frivolous is not a gentleman, and impatience is the most ominous. Riding a tiger as a unicorn, riding an osprey like a phoenix. Opposite the Nine Suspicious Peaks, the valley is wandering.
Jia Zhu stood beside Jia Qiong, and every time Jia Qiong wrote, he read a sentence, from the beginning of the loud voice to the end of the ignorance. Jia Qiong didn't know what Jia Zhu was thinking, but after he finished writing, Jia Zhu took all the manuscripts, returned to his seat, and slowly read and pondered.
At this moment, a person suddenly broke in from outside the door and shouted: "Big brother, Brother Qiong is going with me, the gang of gentlemen in the civil official's family actually came to fight with our martial arts, and they are bare-mouthed and powerful, and they don't fight with us." The literature of the two of you is the best in the family, go with me quickly, you can't be embarrassed by our martial arts, and you can't lose the face of our Jia family. ”
Saying that, someone was going to pull the two away.
