Chapter 7 Do things with your heart

The next day, Momoyama woke up at the same time, and the first rays of sunshine appeared at the same time as yesterday, not a moment earlier, not a moment later.

However, the people of Momoyama woke up much earlier than usual.

When Ye Cang went out with a basket on his back and passed by the school, he heard a strange voice giggling and said: "Master, Taishang, the kid listens to the ancestors and sends some things to the two ancestors, but the two ancestors have already woken up?" ”

When Ye Cang looked up, he was very surprised, Taoshan was really here!

It was a thin boy, with slender hair and a little messy, perhaps too lazy to take care of it.

The young man's white face is attractive, but his goatee makes him have nothing to do with the young man.

Ye Cang stopped outside the school hall and watched curiously, and the rare old flower came out of the small house for the first time.

The house was very small, and it was a little shabby compared to the school next to it.

That was when Ye Cang was six years old, he saw that the old flower used the sky as a quilt, made a bed on the ground, and where to sleep, Ye Cang helped the old flower build a house after coming back from picking peaches every day.

After the old man had a house, he didn't go to the village anymore and stayed in a small house all day.

Later, when Ye Cang grew up, he said that he wanted to help Lao Zhaohua repair and expand the house, but Lao Zhaohua disagreed, as if he was deliberately angry with his master.

"If you call a flower, you have to look like a flower, how can you look like that sour scholar, there are no students and you have to build a school, there is only Bai Ding in the village, there is no such Confucianism as him!"

But the Master never paid attention to him.

After Lao Zhaohua went out, he looked at the young man and said coldly: "Where is the old immortal who came to salute?" It's clearly asking you to collect debts! He didn't want to see me, so he called you. ”

Lao Zhaohua has always been so cold, and it is like this to anyone in the village, but sometimes it is better for the master, and because of this, Ye Cang built Lao Zhaohua's house next to the school.

The goatee boy was not angry at all, and said with a smile: "The old ancestor didn't tell me that there was really any debt to collect, but he just said that the ancestor had wanted to drink for a long time, and it really happened to have some good wine, so he wanted to send some to the old ancestor." ”

When the old flower heard the wine, the color was rarely softened, but he still cherished the words like gold, and said to the young man: "Put this around." ”

The young man kept smiling, as if he had encountered some happy event, and twenty-four wine jars suddenly appeared around him, and Ye Cang was full of surprise, staring at it all the time, a little stunned, unable to take his eyes off.

The old man sat down anywhere, and the young man put the wine jar around the old flower house one by one, holding a jar of wine in his hand, and lightly placed it on the right side of the old flower.

Then he took out a jade platform, the jade is transparent, under the sun, it is brilliant, and there is a set of wine vessels on the jade platform.

Lao Zhaohua sat in front of the jade platform, took a jade bead from the jade platform and pinched it in his hand, and Lao Zhaohua said with a cold face: "That old blind man is not blind, he can't suffer a loss, you are all like this!" ”

The young man didn't speak, just stood next to him smiling and grinning, until Lao Minghua put the jade bead into his arms.

Stretched out his hand to open a wine jar, smelled the wine, stuck his hand in the wine jar, sipped his fingers and nodded, ignoring a few people, and drank alone.

The boy turned and walked towards the school, his body standing upright.

"Tongjia has seen the master, the ancestor said that the mountain is not high, the water is not deep, although the peach house is ugly, because the master is here, so it is shining, the master is as virtuous as the sun and the moon, and everything is not worthy of the master."

"Therefore, I have to give the master a piece of jade embryo to line the virtue of the master and gentleman, this thing is very light, and I hope the master will not blame."

The master pushed open the door of the school, as if he had stood under the painting of the school all night, looked at Zhen Tongjia, and said with a smile: "This old blind man ......"

The master took the jade embryo in Jia Zhentongjia's hand and said, "There is no class in the school, you can come to watch the painting." ”

The master turned around and walked out of the school and went to the bedroom, and after the master entered the room, Jia really rushed into the room with a smile, and without moving the stool, he sat on the spot, squinting slightly at the corners of his eyes, rubbing his hands and grinning at the corners of his mouth, not showing the pain of last night at all.

It's just that when he curled his legs, the corners of his mouth twitched coldly, "Hiss!" But it hurts... Say something crooked, straighten it up... Straighten... Alas!

The old man always said that the machine was in the village, and the fate was in the youth, and he was chattering more than me...

It's the older generation after all, and there should be some good things, but I don't know the boy anymore..."

Ye Cang saw that his master did not attend class for the first time, carrying the basket on his back, and was a little stunned for a while.

Ye Cang looked through the window, looked at the brocade-clothed young man in the school, and then looked at the bark clothes he was wearing, and in the village, he was the only one wearing bark.

Ye Cang lowered his head, his eyes were a little gloomy, and he whispered: "If your clothes are not neat and your body is unclean, how can you defile the land of sages." ”

Ye Cang carried the basket on his back, lowered his head slightly, and walked out of the village, when he walked to the entrance of the village, the old blind man was already sitting on the stall, and when he walked over in a daze, the old blind man woke Ye Cang up with a cough.

Ye Cang walked back again and said to the old blind man, but his voice was a little low and said, "Blind grandpa is so early, you can sleep a little more every day and then get up." ”

The old blind man was holding a cigarette stick, and he seemed to be in a good mood

"As soon as I close my eyes, I will turn into ashes unconsciously, the old man is different from the old flower, I am blind, he is blind! I can't sleep, old blind man. ”

The old blind man shook his cigarette stick and said, "These days are easier, that boy has brought a lot of food from outside the mountain, you can go and taste it, you don't need to be so tired." ”

Ye Cang nodded, turned around and walked his legs, but immediately put his legs back, and froze in place, his daily work is to go up the mountain to pick peaches, and go down the mountain to send peaches, now there is no need to pick peaches, and he doesn't know what to do for a while.

The old blind man lay on a chair and said, "If you don't know where to go, go and see the mountains, come to the wind, and go as you like." Towards the early sunset to send the sunset, half a life of jade flowers. ”

Ye Cang looked at the old blind man and scratched his head and said, "Blind grandpa, I don't understand. ”

The old blind man beckoned Ye Cang to his side, held the end of the cigarette in his hand, knocked Ye Cang's head with a cigarette holder and scolded with a smile: "The child's temperament! ”

Ye Cang touched the position where the old blind man had knocked, and somehow his heart calmed down a lot, and the old blind man put the cigarette holder in his mouth, and continued after spitting out a large puff of cigarette.

"You see the old man put the fortune-telling stall here, but to wait for business? The old theater is open all day, but to welcome guests? Your master teaches every day, but is it for people to listen? ”

When Ye Cang heard this, he quickly replied, "But the master didn't give a lecture today!" ”

The old blind man smiled at Ye Cang and said: "If it is really a child's temperament, that kid gave your master a piece of jade embryo, but the jade and your master are just right, and the gentleman should be Peiyu." ”

"Courtesies are still exchanged, and scholars pay more attention to these, and your master will allow my boy to look at paintings for a day."

Ye Cang didn't speak, as if he had a comprehension, and the old blind man continued.

"Do things with your heart, look up to the sky, and bow down to the ground, you can be regarded as doing very well, in the words of your master's Confucianism, it is to help the world at the same time, and to be poor is to be good alone."

Ye Cang muttered, "Do things with your heart? ”

The young man looked up, his eyes lit up: "Do things with your heart!" ”

Just a moment later, Ye Cang nodded with a smile and thanked, "Thank you, Grandpa Blind!" ”

Ye Cang's smile was very innocent, Ye Cang ran to the mountain with the basket on his back, and the morning sun was reflected on the side face of the young man, as quiet as a picture, as quiet as a young man's heart.

Only the blind fortune teller was left lying on the chair, smoking a cigarette and sighing.

"If the master can teach that kid for a day, it's much better than looking at that painting, although that painting is also extraordinary, but in the master's heart, the only one who can listen to his lecture should be Xiao Yecang!

Tsk, it's a pity ... It's a pity..."
