Chapter 475: True Self
chatted with the two old gentlemen in the paper mill and printing room until it was getting dark, and finally waited for Bai Jinqing and Hu Yushan.
Young people are naturally talking about young people together, and Bai Dinggong and Liu Xingzhai no longer bothered them when they saw that the three of them had gotten together.
The three of them got into the carriage together and went to Junxiao Building, and the shopkeeper and men of Junxiao Building saw that the young people at the beginning were now officials in the court, and it was needless to say that they were respectful.
Let the three of them go upstairs to the private room, and serve a table of good wine and food according to Shao Xi's request, and after the three of them sat down, they chatted while eating.
Shao Xi looked at the two people in front of him and couldn't help but sigh with emotion: "I didn't expect that I had only been gone for half a year, and now there is a sense that things are wrong with people, and the four of you will have their own futures after a spring party."
"It's a pity that the five of us got together here at the beginning, and now Han Shaoguang and Zheng Yuanxiu have gone to Wanxian, and there are only three of us left at this table, I don't know when the five of us can get together again?"
Hu Yushan was also quite emotional about this, and couldn't help but say: "Yes! The two of them only entered the top three, and they did not perform well in the retest, so they could only be sent to a remote place to be a local county commander and county officer, and I am afraid that it will be difficult to have the opportunity to enter Beijing as an official in the future.
"Now that we are far away from each other, and we have to be busy with our own affairs, I really don't know when and what month we can drink and write poems together like before, and talk about the world, it's really a pity to say!"
Bai Jinqing looked indifferent, and didn't seem to have much emotion about this matter.
"You two don't have to feel sorry, classmates will inevitably have to go their separate ways in the future, and now Shaoguang and Motohide have their own place to go, although they have not been able to stay in Kyoto.
"Life is impermanent, we really don't need to be too entangled, maybe the two of them will break out of their own world in Nawan County and do their own business, why do you and I have to worry too much about them?
"As long as this friendship remains in our hearts, even if we are far away, we will still have the same heart, and I believe that the five of us will eventually reunite one day."
Bai Jinqing really still maintains that indifferent temperament, and can always maintain a calm state of mind in everything, which Shao Xi admires very much.
Because a person like Bai Jinqing is in a clear state of mind and sees everything thoroughly and understands, he will have a lot less useless troubles, and this kind of temperament that faces reality in the most rational way is the most suitable for compiling history books.
A clear mind and a calm mind can make people look at things more rationally and objectively, and the compilation of history books requires this objective rationality.
Shao Xi often hopes that he can face many things calmly and indifferently like Bai Jinqing, but he also knows that he can't do it, after all, he has always considered himself a person with clear grievances and happy grudges.
Even if he is now intriguing with all kinds of people out of helplessness and calculating with each other, he is still a sensual person in his heart, and he will still be affected by his own feelings, and he can't be as calm as Bai Jinqing.
This may be related to Shao Xi's past experience, people who have experienced great joys and sorrows in life, and people who have experienced a huge psychological gap are often unable to maintain that kind of calm and indifference in the face of many things.
"Speaking of which, before the end of the year, I may really go to Wanxian, and I can also visit Shaoguang and Yuanxiu when the time comes, I don't know what these two living treasures will look like when they arrive in Wanxian? Without Brother Yushan's discipline, it is estimated that these two boys can toss to the sky. ”
When Hu Yushan heard Shao Xi say this, he couldn't help laughing, and couldn't help complaining: "These two stinky boys are simple-minded, and they always like to do things smartly.
"Now that I have become the parent official of Wanxian County, I am really worried that the local people don't know what they will be like if they are made into trouble by these two boys?
"People's parents and officials are the blessings of the local people, I think the two of them will become a disaster for the local people, I wonder if the people of Wanxian County will be forced to rebel by these two guys?"
When it came to Wanxian, Shao Xi couldn't help but think of the incident of arresting Han Song, the fake county commander in Wanxian.
If it weren't for Zhang Chong's help, he and Lao Wu might not have been so successful, and I don't know what happened to Zhang Chong and Zhao Qiaoyun now?
Speaking of which, if the two are already married, by the time they arrive in Wanxian, almost all the dolls will be born, right?
Thinking of Zhao Qiaoyun, Shao Xi couldn't help but think of the wandering swordsman named Chu Yunhe.
I don't know if Zhao Qiaoyun has ever gone to worship? Have you ever renovated Chu Yunhe's tomb? At the beginning, he just buried Chu Yunhe hastily, but now that he thinks about it, he has indeed coped with it.
At the end of the year, he will go to Qingshan County, and after Ye Ziyuan's cemetery is repaired, he will dispose of all the corrupt officials and corrupt officials in Qingshan County, and it is indeed necessary for him to go to the broken temple to visit Chu Yunhe.
After all, this person is the first swordsman in the real sense that he has encountered after entering the Central Plains, a person who sticks to his principles even if his life is down.
In Shao Xi's heart, Chu Yunhe is different from any other person, although he has known him and has had a short relationship, he is the one who impressed him the most.
Maybe it was from him that Shao Xi really began to see what the rivers and lakes looked like, or what the rivers and lakes should look like.
Shao Xi never thought that an unknown person would make him so concerned, maybe because of his death, maybe because of the way he lived.
Maybe everything that happened was just a coincidence, but Shao Xi always felt that this world was actually not big, and when he looked back and thought about everything in the past, it seemed that everything that happened was related to each other and had cause and effect.
If the incident of Fengjiazhuang hadn't happened back then, Lao Wu would not have fled to the land of the Hu people in the north with him, nor would he have stolen the treasures of several major sects in order to cultivate his martial arts.
If he had never practiced martial arts, he would not have bothered about the idle affairs of Chu Yunhe and Wanxian, no matter what these idle things were, maybe he was just passing by Qingshan County, and maybe not so many things would have happened later.
Thinking of this, Shao Xi felt that his thoughts were a little ridiculous.
In the final analysis, if I hadn't gone to Sister Hua for Chinese New Year's Eve dinner in the thirtieth year of the Chinese New Year's Eve, I might not have wandered alone on the road, nor would I have met that strange female driver who knocked herself down and made herself cross into this world, wouldn't everything have happened?
But what's the use of thinking about it now?
I really can't face everything calmly and indifferently like Bai Jinqing, and there will always be some senseless feelings.
Now that I am facing many crises, such a mentality may not really exist.
Shao Xi couldn't help but shake his head self-deprecatingly, picked up the wine glass in his hand and said to Bai Jinqing and Hu Yushan: "Jinqing is right, it is indeed unpredictable that things are unpredictable.
"Everyone doesn't know what the future holds, and maybe everything that happens in the future is something you and I didn't expect, so there's no need to dwell on it.
"So we want everything to get better? Although this is only a hope. ”
When he said this, Shao Xi found that Bai Jinqing and Hu Yushan were both looking at him with a strange gaze, as if they had just known him, and Shao Xi was a little embarrassed for a while.
"Why are you two looking at me like that? Was it the first day you knew me? ”
Who knew that the two of them nodded in unison, and replied in unison: "It really seems that I only met you on the first day." ”
The answers of the two people made Shao Xi a little inexplicable for a while, but he saw Bai Jinqing and said with a smile: "Brother Shao we knew in the past is a frank person who is high-spirited, dares to say and do, and never sticks to small sections, but I don't want Brother Shao to be so sentimental, and he will even sigh that the world is impermanent.
"In our eyes, Brother Shao has always been a person who focuses on the present and will not be entangled in the past and the future.
Shao Xi was a little crying and laughing when Bai Jinqing said it, could it be that he really left this impression on them on weekdays?
Maybe they have too many secrets in their hearts and hide too much from them, so they think this way about them.
Shao Xi has always hidden his identity very deeply, whether it is his identity in this world, or his identity as a traverser, Shao Xi cannot disclose it to others.
In this world, Shao Xi wants to hide his identity as Feng Yuyan from others, and in front of Lao Wu, Shao Xi wants to hide his identity as a traverser.
A person who hides secrets from everyone has to try his best to disguise himself, even a person like Lao Wu who makes him feel extremely close still has to hide something from him.
Maybe it was the long-term disguise that made Shao Xi get used to his appearance in front of people, so when Bai Jinqing said his impression of himself, Shao Xi was a little surprised, because it seemed to be very different from his inner self.
Is it really because I have been pretending for too long that I have begun to gradually lose myself?
Since Bai Jinqing and the others have always had such an impression of themselves, Shao Xi didn't want them to be disappointed in him.
If a person who was originally high-spirited and happy suddenly becomes sentimental and fragile in his heart, he may really disappoint the people around him.
So Shao Xi cheered up, raised the wine glass in his hand again, and said to the two people in front of him: "I have brothers, Shaoguang and Yuanxiu, don't think that it's okay to hide far away, I will get the two of them back one day sooner or later, and let Brother Yushan discipline them well when the time comes." ”
Bai Jinqing and Hu Yushan were stunned by Shao Xi's words, and couldn't help but ask in unison, "What are you talking about?" Can you get both of them back? ”
Shao Xi raised his chin and said confidently: "Look at it!" Naturally, I have my own way to get the two of them back sooner or later. ”
