Chapter 397: Intentionally Coming Forward
Mei, who came to reply to the message, shook his head, but he told Lin Shuran that several friends of her eldest uncle Wen Shangqing had all arrived in Beijing yesterday and were gathering with Wen Shangqing in the bamboo forest at the moment.
Lin Shuran wondered if this could be a signal from her eldest uncle? She didn't dare to speculate, so she could only wait with peace of mind, but the time left by the emperor to the Wen family was also limited, and it was impossible for this matter to drag on forever.
When it was close to noon, Wen Junqing suddenly ran over, he said that he was here to pick up Lin Shuran to go to the bamboo forest, and several friends of Wen Shangqing wanted to see her.
"Cousin, who are your uncle's friends? They want to see me, do you know what? Although Lin Shuran is a woman in the back house, she is very different from ancient women, and she gets along with men more naturally, and she does not have the restraint and cringe when women here come into contact with foreign men.
Wen Junqing replied: "Cousin, you have seen the poet madman Liu Tong and the piano idiot Li Xiao before, and they are also here today, in addition to them, there are also the tea madman Feng Tai, the mad pharmacist Zhang Deng, the drunken immortal Peng Chengxing, and the ruthless swordsman Jiang Feng, the four of them were also invited to Beijing by their father, although my father did not say it explicitly, but I think it must be the two books that my cousin showed him that had an effect, and he seemed to be interested in presiding over this literary event." ”
"Really?" Lin Shuran's face was happy, "This is really good!" ”
Wen Junqing also nodded and smiled: "This is thanks to your cousin, in fact, my grandfather insisted on handing over this matter to my father, because I wanted him not to indulge in his own world anymore, my grandfather said that burying his head in learning all day long would only ossify his brain, and he learned a stomach of theories, but in fact, he did not really penetrate the mysteries, he hoped that his father could go out, meet people, see the customs and customs of the world, and the various states of the world, and hope that he could pass on the knowledge he studied, otherwise what is the point of this knowledge!" ”
Lin Shuran can understand the meaning of Wen Junqing's words very well, her grandfather Wen Yanzhi and her eldest uncle Wen Shangqing are both naturally intelligent and accomplished in learning, but her grandfather Wen Yanzhi prefers to experience the charm of learning in real life, he loves to travel and love to go to the crowd to find the answer to knowledge, and her eldest uncle Wen Shangqing is just the opposite, he likes to turn books in the room to do research.
In her view, learning should be a combination of theory and practice, and only focusing on one side will inevitably be lost, and her grandfather should have been aware of this a long time ago, so he hoped that his eldest son would not only drill in books, but also go to real life to feel some fireworks and human nature, only in this way can he truly learn knowledge thoroughly and truly reflect the value of learning.
"Does my uncle want me to send him the remaining half of the book?" At this time, Wen Shangqing asked Wen Junqing to pick him up and go to the bamboo forest again, and Lin Shuran wondered if he was coming for the second half of the book.
Wen Junqing hesitated for a moment and said: "Father didn't specifically explain this matter, only said that a few of his friends wanted to meet you, I think Liu Tong and Li Xiao said something to them last time, knowing that cousin you are good at learning, they all want to see you." ”
Although Wen Shangqing did not explicitly say that he should take the second half of "Zhou Yi" and "Yi Chuan" with him, Lin Shuran still decided to bring it, and Xu Mingfan, the fourth elder of the Xu family who had not gone to Guozijian recently, learned of Wen Junqing's intention, walked in front of Lin Shuran, and asked cautiously and pleadingly: "Mother, can I go with you to meet my uncle and his friends?" ”
"Of course you can!" Lin Shuran did not refuse Xu Mingfan, and Wen Junqing also nodded and said that it should be no problem, so the three of them went to the bamboo forest courtyard of the Wen family together.
After the three of them entered, they saw that the courtyard was very lively, and it was not interrupted because of the appearance of the three of them, Wen Shangqingzheng happily pushed the cup and changed the cup with a few friends to drink the wine, the piano idiot Li Xiao played the piano on the side to help the fun, and there was a man in an ink-colored robe with wide sleeves who was dancing the sword.
His swordsmanship is elegant and smooth, soft and rigid, although there is no murderous aura, but the move can be seen with a sharp sword aura, this person is very likely to be the ruthless swordsman Jiang Feng.
The three of them stayed quietly and waited, and after the song was over, everyone turned their eyes to Lin Shuran and the three, and Liu Tong and Li Xiao were also very happy to see Lin Shuran, and hurriedly asked them to sit down on the empty low table bamboo mat on the side.
"Sit down!" Wen Shangqing also looked at them and waved his hand, and he just gave Xu Mingfan who followed Lin Shuran, and didn't say anything.
After Lin Shuran, Wen Junqing and Xu Mingfan sat down on the side in turn, one of the old men with a scruffy beard and a somewhat unkempt look said with a smile: "You are Lin Youxing's youngest daughter?" I heard that you are good at learning, you are good at poetry, you are good at writing, and the most important thing is that you can also make wine, that Mingyuan wine is strong to drink, and I always feel that it is still a little worse, not the taste of the loss of the essence brewed by the grain. ”
"Cousin, this person is a drunken immortal Peng Chengxing, who is a good drinker!" Wen Junqing whispered to Lin Shuran on the side.
Lin Shuran hurriedly said: "Back to Mr. Hui's words, I am Lin Shuran, in front of several gentlemen, how dare I get a sentence 'good learning', it is Mr. praised, and Mr. Peng is right, the Xu family's Mingyuan wine is indeed not made of grain, as the so-called, there are thousands of materials, wine has a hundred flavors, it is the same as gentlemen to do learning, and the quality of each person's character is different." ”
"What you said is good, well-it's good, to have such an opinion, it can be seen that you have really worked learning!" Peng Chengxing did not hesitate to cherish his appreciation of Lin Shuran, but he had heard a lot of rumors about Lin Shuran, don't look at her as just a backhouse woman, and she has done many things that even men may not be able to catch up.
"Then "Zhou Yi" and "Yi Chuan" were written by you?" The tea maniac Feng Tai locked his eyes on Lin Shuran, and it could be seen that he had an extremely strong interest in Lin Shuran, and this interest was obviously related to the book he handed over to Wen Shangqing.
Lin Shuran hurriedly shook his head and replied: "Naturally not, although I have read some books since I was a child, but my knowledge is shallow after all, I can't write such a book with my knowledge, at best, I just have a better memory, just be a copyist, as for the origin of the original book, I don't know." ”
At this time, Wen Shangqing also said with difficulty: "I knew that this book could not be written by you, and you couldn't write it, my niece had an adventure a few years ago, and I don't know which master of the world I met, and passed on a lot of things to her, it is estimated that she is not too dull, and the professor can also keep it in mind, but after all, it is a woman, and it is a pity to have a good knowledge!" ”
