Chapter 7: Be My Queen
Fang Xuanling served as a city lieutenant in Juxian County. Juxian is about 20 miles away from Nanshan, and because of the rugged mountain road, they set off early in the morning and took more than an hour to arrive at the county seat of Juxian.
The carriage stopped in front of a house in the south of the city, and Li Zhiyun and Liu Yinglian got out of the carriage.
It is a bungalow with blue bricks and tiles, and there is a small yard in front of the house. The two entered the courtyard and saw freshly dyed cloth drying on the bamboo poles in the courtyard. In a corner of the courtyard, a middle-aged woman in a coarse cloth shirt was sweating profusely and stirring the cloth in the dye vat with a thick wooden stick.
Liu Yinglian stepped forward and said, "Yinglian has seen her master. The middle-aged woman smiled and said, "Come to your teacher, right?" He was in the house. Liu Yinglian thanked Li Zhiyun and led Li Zhiyun into the house. It was a small hall, with a few simple pieces of furniture, but no one but a rooster clucking at them.
Liu Yinglian said loudly: "Teacher, I'm Yinglian, are you at home?" ”
It didn't take much time for a man to walk out of the west room. He looked to be about thirty-seven or eighteen years old, of medium height, wearing a blue-gray robe, a hair scarf on his head, a rectangular face, sharp eyes, and a three-inch long beard under his chin.
Liu Yinglian stepped forward and saluted: "Teacher, Yinglian is here to visit you, and by the way, I will introduce you to someone." After that, he pulled Li Zhiyun to the front and said, "This is Li Gongzi, young and talented, and knowledgeable." You're going to be able to get along. ”
Li Zhiyun hurriedly saluted and said, "Lord Fang, the juniors have seen the ceremony!" After Fang Xuanling returned the salute, he invited them to sit at the table of the Eight Immortals, then brought a teapot, put three teacups on the table, poured tea, and made a "please" gesture after sitting down.
Fang Xuanling took a sip of the teacup, and after putting down the teacup, he first greeted Liu Yinglian's father, then turned his gaze to Li Zhiyun and said, "Li Gongzi is expensive this year?" ”
"Fourteen."
Fang Xuanling smiled and said, "The son is old and serious, and his spirit is lofty. Fang has a question, is the son willing to answer it? ”
Li Zhiyun said unceremoniously: "Lord Fang has something to say, but it doesn't hurt to speak!" Fang Xuanling asked: "What does Gongzi think is the first priority in governing the country?" Li Zhiyun thought for a moment and said: "The first thing to govern the country is to govern officials, and the rule of officials will make the world safe." The so-called 'courtesy, righteousness, honesty and shame, the four dimensions of the country. If the four dimensions are not open, the country will not be a country'. ”
"Courtesy, righteousness, honesty and shame, the four dimensions of the country. If the four dimensions are not open, the country will not be a country. Fang Xuanling read it silently, nodded and said: "Okay, good, the son really has a splendid belly, and Fang has been taught!" ”
Liu Yinglian on the side listened to it and was overjoyed in her heart. On the way here, she was still a little worried, afraid that she would lose her eyes, and this Li Gongzi would only talk about it, and he would not have real talent. Now even the teacher says that he is taught, and it seems that Li Gongzi is indeed talented. So, when she looked at Li Zhiyun, she felt a little more love.
Liu Yinglian said with a smile: "Li Gongzi has the world in mind, and he also said that he wants to 'worry about the world first, and then enjoy the joy of the world.'" 'Well. Li Zhiyun hurriedly said: "I'm just talking, I can't do it!" ”
"The worries of the world are worried, and the joys of the world are happy." Fang Xuanling repeated it, his eyes lit up, and he nodded: "This sentence is well said!" This motto should be the 'motto' for those of us who read. …… Today, I have a confidant, and Fang is in a happy mood. Later, I'll cook by myself, cook a few plates of good dishes, and have a few more drinks with my son! ……”
After lunch, Li Zhiyun and Liu Yinglian left Fang Xuanling's house and played in the county town for a while, and did not return to Nanshan until Shenshi.
In the next few days, Li Zhiyun stayed very uncomfortable in the Wei family annex. He and Liu Yinglian are already like glue, and they haven't seen each other for a day, like every three autumns.
Fortunately, within a few days, he received an invitation: Liu Hong was going to hold a banquet in the annex on the day of the unit, and invited him to the banquet.
For example, if there is chaos today, there are wars everywhere, it can be said that there are people everywhere, and hunger is everywhere, but it has not affected these dignitaries and nobles to have fun at all. Li Zhiyun didn't care about drinking wine and eating meat, he was happy to see Liu Yinglian again.
This time, Wei Yijie and Wei Xiaobao went with him. The three of them arrived at the Guitang Annex in a wide carriage. As night fell, the banquet began, and there were several tables. The guests talked about wine, guessed the boxing order, and laughed endlessly.
Li Zhiyun was a little absent-minded. Taking advantage of no one's attention, he sneaked out of the backflower hall and into the backyard. He walked around the courtyard and found that twenty zhang away from the main house, there was an independent small building, which might be Miss Liu's embroidery building. Adjacent to the west side of the small building, there is a terrace, about three feet high, and there are stone steps to climb up. At this moment, there seemed to be light on the stage, and there was a faint sound of the sound of the piano clanging.
Li Zhiyun climbed the stone steps to the terrace, and saw Liu Yinglian sitting in front of a desk playing Jinse, next to two maids carrying lanterns for lighting.
He stood aside and listened quietly, and when the song was finished, he hurriedly applauded.
Liu Yinglian smiled: "I'm a little tired today, so let's stop here." Said that he would stop and take away Jinse, and then pointed to the embroidered pier opposite: "Son, please sit!" ”
Li Zhiyun sat down on the embroidery pier. Liu Yinglian asked: "Childe doesn't drink in the back hall, why did he come here?" ”
"I was bored in the back hall, so I went to the courtyard to wander around, and when I heard the beautiful sound of the piano, I followed the sound." Li Zhiyun lied.
Liu Yinglian didn't care, and the two chatted without a word.
The night is thick, the bright moon is in the sky, and under the hazy moonlight, "Qin Lan" looks more and more charming.
Li Zhiyun felt a burst of impulse in his heart, and he couldn't wait to step forward and take him into his arms. However, he still knows the principle of not moving.
However, he still brazenly said: "Miss Liu, if I am crowned king, can you be my queen?" ”
When Liu Yinglian heard this, she glanced at him shyly and lowered her head.
Li Zhiyun shamelessly asked repeatedly.
Liu Yinglian was forced, raised her head, and said shyly: "Son, you are good at poetry and writing, can you write a poem for Yinglian?" ”
Li Zhiyun was overjoyed when he heard this, and hurriedly said, "What's so difficult about this? Pen and ink waiting! ”
At this moment, the full moon is the time to achieve masterpieces. In the back flower hall not far away, there is still a faint noise of guests and the sound of guessing the boxing order......
Liu Yinglian immediately ordered Yahuan to take paper, pen and ink and lay them on the desk. Li Zhiyun moved the embroidery pier closer, and wrote without thinking. After writing it in a moment, hand it to the other party.
Liu Yinglian took the paper, and the girl moved the lamp to illuminate it. Liu Yinglian took a look and glanced up at him in surprise. This is the standard action that everyone who sees his ink treasure for the first time must do, and the meaning is self-evident.
There is no way, although he has been practicing for a few months, calligraphy is not a day's work. He could only pretend that he didn't see it, looking up and counting the stars and pretending to be a fool.
Liu Yinglian lowered her head again and read carefully:
Tonight's stars and tonight's wind, the west side of the painting building, the east of Guitang.
There are no colorful phoenix wings, and there is a little bit of wisdom in the heart.
The next seat sends the hook spring wine warm, and the candle is red.
Yu listened to the drum and responded to the official, and went to the Malan platform to turn the tent.
After Liu Yinglian finished reading, she was stunned for a while, then she raised her head and looked at the other party in surprise - she asked him to compose a poem, and he didn't think about it for a moment, just picked up the pen and wrote. Although, she still doesn't know the last sentence, but "I don't have colorful phoenix wings, and I have a good heart." These two sentences are quatrains for the ages! Oh my! Who is he? Could it be that he is really a Wenqu star?!
Liu Yinglian was stunned for a long time, and Fang said: "Childe, what does the 'Lantai' in this last sentence refer to?" ”
When Li Zhiyun heard this, he thought to himself, "Oops! "Lantai" is only available in later generations, and he forgot to tamper with it for a while, and he was in a hurry and began to talk nonsense: "Oh, Lantai is the official office that my father will set up in the future, and I think I may be there on an errand in the future." ”
Listening to his explanation, Liu Yinglian understood, and asked, "What is the title of this poem?" ”
"Untitled"
Liu Yinglian nodded, picked up the pen and wrote the word "untitled" in Juanxiu's small letters.
This is undoubtedly the first masterpiece, and it must be collected by good students! She just wanted to put the ring away, but someone took it away.
It turned out that Wei Xiaobao ran onto the terrace at some point. As soon as he saw the handwriting, he knew that it was Li Zhiyun's masterpiece, and immediately read it aloud.
After Wei Xiaobao finished reading, he praised repeatedly: "Good poem! Good poetry! ”
"Brother Li, 'There are no colorful phoenix wings, and there is a little bit of clarity in the heart.'" Are you referring to Brother Li and Miss Liu? ”
When Liu Yinglian heard this, she lowered her head shyly. Li Zhiyun smirked innocently, and said repeatedly: "That's it!" It is! ”
"Two, the back flower hall is singing and singing at the moment, and I will take this poem to them and show it. Tonight's poetry meeting, the Oiran who won the championship must be Brother Li! Wei Xiaobao said and ran down the terrace excitedly.
