Chapter 108: Four-Character Mantra
The Lord's Mansion of Yong'an County.
The backyard is a side hall.
Li Wuji put his hands behind his back, looking up at the calligraphy hanging on the wall, sometimes smiling, sometimes nodding frequently.
Ling Yuyan silently followed behind Li Wuji, her eyes involuntarily wandering back and forth on Li Wuji's body, as if she was extremely curious about Li Wuji.
After reading all the calligraphy on the wall, Li Wuji found the unfinished words on the table, and couldn't help but nod approvingly, and after glancing at Ling Yuyan, he smiled knowingly.
"Does Childe like to look at others like this on weekdays?"
Ling Yuyan coughed a little embarrassed, avoided Li Wuji's unscrupulous gaze, and said slowly.
Originally, she was just a little shy and wanted to remind Li Wuji not to be presumptuous, but after she finished speaking, she began to regret it, because the more she listened to it, the more she seemed to be coquettish.
"Never, because it's you."
Li Wuji was stunned for a moment, suddenly became serious, and said word by word.
Listening to Li Wuji's answer, Ling Yuyan couldn't help but lower her head, her face turned red.
Xia Qiu and the sword attendant, who were standing outside the door, were secretly looking inside, and they were almost dumbfounded after discovering that Ling Yuyan looked like she had never been shy.
"I think that the girl is really a good handwriting."
"The ancient ink is lightly rubbed with a few incense, and the new bath in the inkstone pond is full of light, or strong keys or tactful, or like a graceful beauty, or like a vigorous and brave warrior, or like a spring breeze blowing flowers, or like the north wind entering the customs deep and cold!"
"Good words, good words!"
Li Wuji smiled, looked at the unfinished words on the table again, and couldn't help but say.
Hearing Li Wuji's beautiful words, Ling Yuyan slowly raised her head and looked at Li Wuji with a red face, her eyes flashing with a hint of throbbing.
"I have long heard that Gongzi has been famous for a long time in the Xuanhua Hall to deter the Qianguo Mission, and I have long wanted to see it with my own eyes, now that Gongzi has arrived here, I don't know if I am willing to leave Mobao for Yu Yan to appreciate?"
Ling Yuyan hesitated for a moment and said slowly.
"You don't mean it at all, I'm afraid what you've heard is some people talking behind my back, I just won with my intentions that day, not with words, right?"
"It's okay, the handwriting is sloppy, and it's no wonder that others laugh at it."
Li Wuji couldn't help but shake his head and said helplessly.
To tell the truth, in the Xuanhua Hall that day, he really didn't write very well, because he had already won by leaving the country in the end, so he wrote a few strokes by hand.
"How many people in the world can fight the four sons of Manjushri alone and win all four battles in the end?"
"How can such a son not even be able to write?"
Ling Yuyan smiled and said with a serious face.
After listening to Ling Yuyan's praise, Li Wuji felt very useful in his heart, and he was more comfortable than winning the four sons of Manjushri that day.
"Okay, since the county lord thinks so highly of me, then I will offer ugliness and give the county lord four words."
Li Wuji paused, and while speaking, he picked up the pen, found a blank copybook, brushed the inkstone, and dropped the first stroke between the shaking of his wrist.
Ling Yuyan was curious, and slowly approached, staring intently.
After a while, Li Wuji put away the pen and left the case, nodding with satisfaction.
On the calligraphy, there are four big characters with wonderful strokes: goodness is like water.
"It seems that Yu Yan's guess is right, Childe didn't go all out that day."
"A good one is as good as water, the words are good, and the meaning is better!"
"One stroke down, if the view is like a loose horse flying into the air, the dust is gone, and it is like a dragon flying in the sky, from nothingness, and returning to the void, the original vitality contained in the meaning is almost crazy, and the impulse is pregnant with the qi of heaven and earth!"
"Yu Yan is willing to bow down!"
Ling Yuyan looked at the four big characters on the notebook and couldn't help but say.
After listening to Ling Yuyan praising her words as she had just done, Li Wuji couldn't help but stare at Ling Yuyan again, and an indescribable warmth rose in his heart.
"Childe, can you keep this painting as a souvenir, Yu Yan must treasure it carefully."
Ling Yuyan shyly avoided Li Wuji's gaze and asked softly.
"Of course."
"This was meant for you."
Li Wuji replied without hesitation.
"Thank you, Childe."
Ling Yuyan bowed and said gratefully.
"You don't have to thank you for meeting friends with words."
"It's not too early, it's time to say goodbye."
Li Wuji smiled and waved his hand and said slowly.
"Yu Yan is going to send off the son."
Ling Yuyan nodded and said.
"No need, it's offensive to visit suddenly, so stay here and be."
"But there is something I still have to remind the county lord that someone does want Ling Li and the two countries to go to war!"
"That's all I say, the county lord cherishes it."
Li Wuji looked at Ling Yuyan, said something serious, then clasped his fists, turned around and walked out of the side hall, and left straight with Lu Yuan.
"County Lord, people have gone far."
Xia Qiu and the sword attendant slowly walked into the side hall, looked at Ling Yuyan, who had stopped for a long time and had been looking in the direction of the front yard, and said hesitantly.
Hearing Xia Qiu's voice, Ling Yuyan came back to her senses, hid her embarrassment, turned around and returned to the bookcase, but was once again attracted by the words.
"Good as water?"
"This is the character written by Liyanghou? It doesn't look as good as what the county lord wrote. ”
Xia Qiu also glanced at it and said with a pout.
"What do you know, such a word, even if you gather people from all over the world to compete, I'm afraid it will be difficult for anyone to stand out."
Ling Yuyan glanced at Xia Qiu helplessly and said sincerely.
"And what do those four words mean?"
Xia Qiu was taken aback and asked curiously.
"Water is good for all things without fighting, and it is evil for everyone, so it is better than the Tao."
"He's reminding me to continue to hide my edge and not compete for the pros and cons, so as not to cause trouble."
Ling Yuyan pondered for a moment and said slowly.
"Is he concerned about you?"
Xia Qiu understood, and asked suspiciously, and the original dislike for Li Wuji in his heart faded a lot.
Ling Yuyan didn't speak, silently blew the notebook, and carefully put it away.
What surprised her was not the unparalleled word of Wuji, but the meaning contained in the word, but she didn't expect that she spent seven years pretending to be a weak and silent person, but he was seen through by him at a glance.
...
Shaw House.
In the courtyard of the second room, two maids had just walked out of a side room, their faces full of disgust and whispering.
"I'm sick with this virtue, why don't you die? I'm fed up with eating and drinking all day long, and having to take care of me all the time! ”
"That is, if it weren't for the kindness of the Yun family master, they would have driven their mother and son out of the Xiao Mansion a long time ago!"
The two grumbled as they walked to the front yard, one holding half of the remaining food in one hand and the other holding a basin of water.
"Shut up!"
At this moment, a cold voice sounded, and Xiao Hongxing didn't know when he appeared behind the two.
The two maids were startled, turned their heads to take a look, and after finding that it was Xiao Hongxing, the tension that originally appeared on their faces quickly disappeared, and they didn't seem to take Xiao Hongxing in their eyes.
"Who made you speak! When did the Xiao family become so unruly?! ”
"Apologies to my mother! Otherwise, I'll go and ask the head of the family to serve you two! ”
Xiao Hongxing's eyes widened and he scolded dissatisfiedly.
He had heard all the conversation between the two just now, and it didn't matter if he was insulted, but he didn't allow others to curse his mother like this.
"Second son, you don't have to scare us, the Yun family master won't ask about the matter of your second room."
"What's more, the head of the family will not use the family law for your second room, if you have nothing to do, we will retreat first."
One of the maids sneered, made a false salute, and was about to pull his companion away.
"Stop!"
"If you don't make it clear, no one can leave!"
"Apologize now for what you just said!"
Xiao Hongxing angrily stepped forward to stop the two who wanted to leave, and said in a deep voice.
Since Dafang became the head of the Xiao family, there is no single subordinate in the courtyard of the second room to serve, and the two people in front of him are all in the courtyard of the big house, and it is only because Xiao Hongxing's mother is sick in bed that he is sent to serve in the second courtyard every day.
"We only follow the orders of the head of the family and the young lady, the second son still don't embarrass us, in case the young lady knows, I'm afraid it will be the second son who will be punished."
After the maid counted down, she no longer paid attention to Xiao Hongxing, and took her companion's hand to bypass Xiao Hongxing and leave.
Seeing that the two of them were so arrogant, Xiao Hongxing's face turned red, and he was even more angry...
