Chapter 16: Fusu's Invitation
Seeing that everyone was looking at him, Kong Kun knew that he was out of shape, and continued: "Although I advocate Confucianism, I am not a pedantic Confucian, so I did not object to my daughter's hydrangea recruitment, since, today// you took the hydrangea, this is the will of heaven, let you and Xiuyun come together." ”
Kong Kun said the back, his voice was raised, deliberately accentuated the tone, at this time, from the outside walked into a subordinate, whispered something in Kong Ji's ear, Kong Ji bowed to his father, full of departure, there was a brief silence in the house, I don't know how long it took, Xiang Zhuang sighed lightly, and replied: "Uncle, although I won the hydrangea, but my parents are dead, there is no one to call the shots, wait for me to go back, tell my uncle, my uncle is in charge, what do you think?" ”
"Bang ......" Kong Kun slammed the table, the room was silent, and after a long time, Kong Kun blushed and got up and said angrily: "Since you have taken the hydrangea, you must be responsible for my daughter, otherwise, how will our Kong family gain a foothold in Suiyang in the future?" ”
Kong Kui's voice was cold, every word was like a thunderbolt, shocking, short silence, Kong Kui said in a tone that could not be refused: "This matter is a foregone conclusion, I will let Jill replace me and go to the Xiang family to propose marriage, if you are married, I will let the whole world know what kind of person your Xiang family is!" ”
Is this coercion? Or is it intimidation? Xiang Zhuang was extremely impatient in his heart, no matter what kind of means he used, he was at fault first, so he had to give up his hand and reply: "Uncle Kong's reprimand, I will definitely go to my uncle and propose marriage as soon as possible." ”
Xiang Zhuang was willing to admit his mistake, the anger in Kong Kun's heart disappeared a little, at this time, Kong Ji hurriedly entered, beside Kong Kun, muttered quietly for a moment, Kong Kun was slightly surprised, and left in a hurry, leaving Kong Ji, clasping his fists with both hands, and said with a smile: "There are a few distinguished guests at home, my father needs to entertain him, please wait for a while." ”
The three of them gave up, Kong Ji left, and the relaxed atmosphere in the house finally recovered, Xiang Zhuang breathed a sigh of relief, this time, he was really angry, if his uncle knew that he was in Suiyang, he actually brought back a niece and daughter-in-law quietly, I don't know how he would feel about his old man.
Thinking like this, Xiang Zhuang couldn't help but smile bitterly, Wei Zhuang and Zhang Budo were talking about something, but Xiang Zhuang was irritable at this time, and he didn't want to listen carefully, so he had to sigh lightly and go out into the living room.
"Brother Xiang, where are you going?" Zhang Budo asked curiously, Xiang Zhuang walked a few more steps, and then replied weakly: "I'll go and relieve myself." ”
。。。。。。
Xiang Zhuang was wandering alone in the courtyard, Kong Kun's tough attitude made him understand that this matter could only be clearly stated with his uncle, whether his uncle could camp this marriage, Xiang Zhuang really had no bottom in his heart, and when he was bored and helpless, out of nowhere, a woman's clear voice came:
The leaves are pale, and the white dew is frost. The so-called Iraqi people are on the water side!
Tracing back to it, the road is obstructive and long. Tracing from it, it is like being in the middle of the water.
The leaves are green, and the white dew is not dawning. The so-called Yi people are in the water of the Mae.
Tracing back to it, the road is blocked and climbing. Tracing from it, it is like being in the water.
The leaves are picked, and the white dew is not over. The so-called Yi people are in the water.
Tracing back to it, the road is blocked and right. Tracing from it, it is like being in the water.
The beautiful melody of the guzheng reverberates, the woman's soft voice, singing this poem, Xiang Zhuang was intoxicated by this fairy-like voice, he listened to it, and walked slowly in the direction where the sound came from, feeling, as if he was in the heavenly palace, this piano, this music, as if the heavenly palace fairy music, just when Xiang Zhuang was drunk, through a moon door, the woman who played the piano suddenly appeared in front of him, only to see her wearing a cyan skirt, kneeling on the soft mat, an incense burner in front of her, a green smoke owl, and she was playing and singing in self-absorption......
Xiang Zhuang was intoxicated by the beautiful sound of the piano, he half leaned on the moon door, listening quietly, I don't know when, he actually closed his eyes, feeling the tranquility brought by the music, the rare freedom.
The beautiful melody is like a crane flying in the mountains, towering mountains, reaching into the sky, naughty children, carrying bamboo baskets, picking fruits in the mountains, beautiful maidens, washing clothes by the stream at the foot of the mountain, and rough men carrying firewood and going home.
The sun is slowly rising, the sky is getting brighter and brighter, and the warm and warm sunlight shines on every corner of the earth.
I don't know how long it took, the sound of the piano stopped abruptly, Xiang Zhuang opened his eyes and saw that the woman had discovered herself, but she didn't have a trace of annoyance, for this uninvited guest, it seemed that she had already expected his arrival.
"I ...... Just passing by, I disturbed the girl to play the piano. Xiang Zhuang smiled awkwardly, turned around, and was about to leave, but the woman got up and stopped him: "Childe, you are ...... The one during the day? ”
Xiang Zhuang nodded slightly and said with a smile: "My name is Xiang Zhuang, and I am very happy to meet you." ”
Xiang Zhuang turned to leave, and the woman quietly looked at the figure outside the moon gate, which had gradually faded away, and couldn't help whispering: "He...... It's Xiang Zhuang. ”
。。。。。。
Confucius Mansion Partial Hall, Fusu, Ziying and others under the guidance of Kong Kui's subordinates, slowly walked in, just entered the side hall, Fusu looked around for a moment, and couldn't help laughing: "Unexpectedly, the layout of Confucius Mansion is much more elegant than I imagined." ”
Ziying also smiled on the side: "Here, it's more of a Wei country. ”
Everyone found a soft seat and sat down, and several maids brought tea and placed it in front of everyone, and left after saluting, and there was a brief silence in the house.
Fu Su took a sip of tea, looked at his uncle and his son, and asked with a smile: "Uncle has also traveled all over the world, has he ever seen such an elegant living room?" ”
Ziying waved his hand and said with a smile: "The Seven Kingdoms are constantly strife, the flames of war are raging, and the smoke of gunpowder is filled, I have spent my whole life in the war, how have I ever enjoyed freedom and carefree, only if I am unified today, I have obtained a rare leisure." ”
Ziying picked up the teacup, took a sip, and shook her head with a wry smile: "Life is like tea, sweet and bitter, with endless aftertaste......"
"It's a good one, when did my uncle learn to be compassionate?" The two couldn't help laughing, and at this time, there was a sound of hurried footsteps from outside the door, and soon, Kong Kun's anxious voice came: "Gongzi Fusu and Huang Shuziying are here, why didn't you inform me earlier?" ”
"My son just learned about it, too."
With the sound of footsteps, Kong Kun took Kong Ji and hurriedly walked into the side hall, Kong Kun bowed his hand and saluted: "In the lower Kong Kui, please say hello to the son, please say hello to the emperor's uncle." ”
Fusu hurriedly got up, held up Kong Kui with one hand, and said with a smile: "It's me who bothered Kong Lao." ”
Kong Ji was also at this time, to the two of them salute, and soon, Fusu pulled Kong Kun, came to the soft seat and sat down, on the side, Shusun Tong hurriedly saluted: "Student Shusun Tong, please say hello to the teacher." ”
Kong Kun saw his uncle and grandson, and he knew a little in his heart, I am afraid that the arrival of Fusu is related to this person, and he was slightly unhappy in his heart, but he did not show it on his face, at this time, Fusu opened his mouth and smiled: "Just walking in the street, I learned that Kong Lao chose his son-in-law, I stopped and watched for a while, Ling Son-in-law is really extraordinary, he is a talent, and he will become a great weapon in the future, I am here, first congratulate Kong Lao." ”
Kong Kun smiled and waved his hand: "Childe is polite." ”
At this time, Kong Kui's eyes fell to the side, standing on Su Jiao's side of Fusu, wasn't he the one who competed with Xiang Zhuang for hydrangea? Don't...... The purpose of Fusu's coming here is his daughter? There was a bad feeling in Kong Kun's heart, he hesitated slightly, Fusu saw the change in Kong Kun's expression, and he was surprised, but he didn't want to ask clearly, so he had to smile and say: "Kong Lao has lived in Suiyang for a long time, how can Confucian Confucianism be carried forward?" In my opinion, why didn't Confucius move to Xianyang, which is the national capital and the political center of Daqin, so that he can recruit disciples and carry forward Confucianism. ”
Kong Kun didn't find out Fusu's intentions, so he had to say modestly: "In fact, Confucianism has already reached its peak, and our Confucian family has been passed down for several generations in Suiyang, and I don't want to move anymore." ”
After Kong Kun finished speaking, there was already a maid bringing tea, put it in front of Kong Kun and Kong Ji, Kong Kun picked up the teacup, and was about to take a sip, but looked to the side, Fusu's teacup, and ordered: "Make a few more cups of tea and change them for the imperial uncle and Gongzi and others." ”
The maid took the order and left, Kong Kun took a sip of tea, had to pick up the topic, and said with a smile: "Childe came from afar this time, I don't know what the so-called thing is?" ”
The topic finally got to the point, and Fusu couldn't help but smile and said, "Don't worry, please listen to me first." ”
Fusu got up, took two steps in the house, sorted out his words, and said solemnly: "Since I have unified the world in Great Qin, the text is unified, the currency is unified, and the unit of measurement is unified, on the surface, it is very powerful, but I know very well in my heart that Qin is strong and strong abroad, and if I want to get rid of the dilemma completely, I hope that Kong Lao can return to Xianyang with me, contribute to the country, and seek benefits for the people......"
Listening to Fusu's words, Kong Kun felt a little at ease, he didn't come for his daughter, but from Fusu's words, Kong Kun could feel that Fusu wanted to invite himself to be a leader, and he wanted to refuse, but he listened to Fusu continue: "The heart of the descendants of the Six Kingdoms to restore the country will not die, and the people of the world will not be at peace, I am very worried, as the eldest son of Qin, it is my duty to shirk, I implore, Confucius Lao will give Fusu a thin face, follow me to Chang'an, contribute to the country, and also carry forward the Confucian family......"
The sincerity of Fusu's words is gratifying, if it is a bystander, he may be moved to tears, and he agrees, but Kong Kun is iron-hearted to refuse Fusu, just from the tyranny of the Qin Dynasty, the extravagance and waste of the first emperor's eastern tour, and the difficulty of the people to cross the day, there are 10,000 reasons to refuse Fusu, but Kong Kun does not want to offend Fusu by making his words clear, so he sighed and shook his head: "I ...... is old, I am afraid that I will have high hopes for my son, and I hope that my son will choose someone else. ”
Kong Kun refused so decisively, Fusu was taken aback, his heart was stunned, he was slightly displeased, and he muttered his words, but the uncle and grandson next to him arched his hand and said: "The teacher has lived in Suiyang for a long time in the past few years, and he knows very little about the major events in the world, so he treats the students and the teacher one by one." ”
Uncle Sun Tong was just about to continue to speak, Kong Kun had already waved his hand and said: "I am not feeling well and can't accompany me for a long time, please forgive me, Gongzi and Uncle Huang." ”
Kong Kun looked back at his son Kong Ji and ordered, "You accompany two more distinguished guests for me." ”
Kong Kun got up and was about to leave, Fu Su was unwilling, muttered for a moment, and said in a deep voice: "What I said today, please think about it twice......
Kong Kun's departing footsteps paused, but soon, he still waved his hand and left slowly, in the house, everyone was silent, Ziying patted Fusu's shoulder, already showed comfort, and sighed: "Everyone has their own ambitions, besides, Mr. Kong is old, let's not force others." ”
Shusun Tong also sighed lightly, and pleaded with Fusu, and said helplessly: "It seems that the teacher really has no intention of becoming a leader......
