Volume VIII Wandering
Mingxuan and Haoyue are not people who talk much, Ma Zhiwen has been talking before, the atmosphere is harmonious, but he doesn't feel anything, but as soon as he leaves now, the surroundings immediately quieted down, and the two of them suddenly felt embarrassed.
"I heard the sound of the girl's piano for the first time last night, and the aftermath is still echoing in my mind, and the aftertaste is endless. Ming Xuan didn't want to be so embarrassed, but he couldn't provoke any topics.
"Childe praised it falsely, but I don't know how Childe got to know my master. Haoyue asked curiously, although Ma Zhiwen has a heroic temperament, he also thinks highly of himself, and it is difficult to have a deep friendship with others, but he can't imagine forming a year-old friendship with Mingxuan.
"It's also fate, all because of this word. As early as when he was drinking tea in Fengxue Building, Ma Zhiwen had already given this word directly to Mingxuan.
"Oh, I see, then it's no wonder, my master first got this painting when I liked it very much, I think it has a deep meaning, and I have seen so many calligraphy and paintings are different, it is held in the palm of my hand every day, day and night research, but there is no gain, and then when I take it with others, I didn't get anyone's affirmation, I was extremely depressed, and then it was hung in the Fengxue Building for sale, I didn't expect to meet you, a like-minded person, and naturally happy. "The master's affairs, Haoyue, as an apprentice, naturally knows.
"I take the liberty of asking, where did this painting come from?" Ming Xuan asked curiously.
"It's on Guzheng Street, or I went with me, and it cost a hundred taels of silver!" Coincidentally, Haoyue is the party.
"Guzheng Street ......" Mingxuan is becoming more and more curious about this place.
"There's nothing to do right now, it is estimated that Shopkeeper Li and my master won't be able to come back at once, or let's go to Guzheng Street for a stroll. Haoyue saw Mingxuan's interest, and she didn't want to sit and wait here, let alone let the atmosphere return to the embarrassment just now.
"It's good, but Miss Haoyue is so beautiful, I'm afraid it's inconvenient to go out. "Such a beautiful woman walking on the road, it is not in the limelight, Mingxuan still remembers the scene when Yijing and Xin Chen came to Qingyangmen, Mingxuan doesn't want to come again.
"Don't worry about this, you see, isn't this good? Not bad!" Haoyue naturally knew what Ming Xuan meant, but she already had a way to deal with it, as soon as she turned around and turned back, her original snow-white face became sallow, and her delicate facial features also changed slightly, looking no different from ordinary women, and even a little ugly.
"Miss Haoyue went out like this, I guess there are still a lot of people who pay attention. Ming Xuan only glanced at it, but still found that something was wrong.
"How do you see that, although it won't be so eye-catching, there are still a lot of people staring at me, why is that?" Haze Yue was quite surprised, she often traveled with this makeup, but the effect was not very good.
"It seems that this disguise technique, the girl only learns the essence of its appearance, it is very simple, the spirit of people is in a pair of eyes, the girl's eyes are clear, lifelike, ordinary people will be intoxicated when they see it, and the girl's body shape has not changed, the body is exquisite, it is really difficult not to attract people's attention. Mingxuan told the truth.
"It turns out that there are still so many shortcomings, it seems that I still have to study hard, this time I will look down and look at things less, thank you for your advice. Haoyue had heard countless beautiful words, but Mingxuan's alternative praise still made her a little ashamed.
Haoyue came by sedan chair, but it is not suitable to sit in a sedan chair when going shopping, but fortunately, Guzheng Street is not far away, and the two of them walked over and took a walk.
"The water is clear and sunny, the mountains are empty and rainy, when the day is clear, the clear water of Mochizuki Lake is rippling, sparkling, and the scenery is just right; Out of the Moon Tower, walking on the jade bridge, the breeze was blowing, and the mood of the two became broader, without the previous embarrassment.
"Looking at this beautiful scenery in a sunny time, I think the rain scene is also very good, and I will definitely climb the Moon Tower again to enjoy the grand scenery when I have time. "Mingxuan also enjoyed this beautiful view.
"Childe has been traveling in the rivers and lakes for a long time, he should have been to many places, is there a more beautiful place than this?" asked Haoyue curiously.
"The so-called horizontal view of the side of the ridge into a peak, far and near the height is different, a landscape, different angles to see, the feeling will be different, the same way, different places of beauty, there are also different styles, there is no way to compare. Mingxuan told the truth.
"You've only been with my master for a long time, but you've become the same as him, isn't there a scenery that you can't forget?"
"Unforgettable scenery...... Ming Xuan fell into deep thought for a while.
A cliff, a prominent stone platform, a bright figure, a warm little home, scene by scene inadvertently wandered out in Ming Xuan's mind, and there seemed to be a string in the depths of his heart that was gently plucked, and the trills echoed.
"Gu Gongzi, Gu Gongzi?" Seeing that Ming Xuan was stunned for a long time, Hao Yue had to wake him up.
"Oh, is there something wrong with Miss Hazy Moon?" Ming Xuan immediately came back to his senses.
"You don't need to scream so awkwardly, just call me Haoyue, what's wrong with you just now, it seems to be in deep thought. Haoyue asked curiously.
"Oh, nothing, just remembering some of the past. Ming Xuan smiled faintly and put away his wandering thoughts.
"Is the past an unforgettable landscape?" asked Haoyue.
"As far as I know, Confucianism is very strict with men and women, and there are so-called requirements such as whether men and women are intimate or not, so how did you worship under Ma Lao's sect?" Ming Xuan didn't want to discuss too much on that issue, and hurriedly changed the topic.
"Actually, it's nothing, in the eyes of outsiders, Confucianism attaches great importance to etiquette and has a lot of rules, but in fact, it is not, as long as you practice benevolence and righteousness, you can be regarded as a qualified Confucian disciple, as long as you are open-minded and do not exceed the courtesy, but it is not what the son thinks, then I have lived in the proud building for a long time, wouldn't I be scolded by Confucianism?"
"It's that I'm lonely and unheard, but why does the girl live in the proud building for a long time? In the eyes of outsiders, it seems to be a ...... there" Ming Xuan had already had this question, but he stopped talking and felt that it was not very polite.
"I think it's a filthy place, it's normal for Childe to think so, but it's not quite, not all the people who come here are people who are looking for fun, some people are just for relaxation and recreation, so the piano art singing and dancing in the proud building is also a must, many guests will come to learn the piano skills, talk about elegant things, I went to the proud building to improve their piano skills, but more importantly, in order to save the suffering sisters there, many women because they are lazy to do or see through the red dust or pursue comfort and fall into the red dust, I don't care, but many are forced to live, and even forced to be a prostitute, I can't ignore it, if I see such a scene there, I can stop them in time and let them get out of the sea of suffering, I know that my strength is weak, but I can save one by one. Haoyue said compassionately, her eyes shining brightly, like a holy light protecting her body.
"If you are poor, you will be good alone, and if you are good, you will help the world, the girl is noble, and she is admired!" Ming Xuan didn't expect Haoyue to have such an idea of helping the world and serving the people, and couldn't help but sigh.
"Where can I afford to be so admired by my son, women are weak in this world, and most of them have to rely on men, but there are too many men who are unsympathetic, and they will inevitably have a sad fate, what can I do?"
"It's a good thing to have this heart, many things in this world are difficult, but you have to do it, knowing that there are tigers in the mountains, you also have to prefer the tiger mountain, personal strength, like the fluorescence of the night, although it can't shine too much in the law, but it can always make people see hope. "Ming Xuan has been practicing in the rivers and lakes for a long time, and he has encountered a lot of similar things, knowing that he can't do it, which is also a kind of helplessness in chivalry.
"A conversation with you is better than ten years of study, I will definitely go on this road forever!" With Ming Xuan's encouragement, Haoyue's fragile heart was somewhat comforted.
After the conversation box was opened, the two didn't have too many restraints, and they chatted, and Haoyue was also a knowledgeable person, and the two talked happily.
"Childe's life is very close to Confucianism, no wonder the master is so attached to you. Haoyue is Ma Zhiwen's close disciple, and she is deeply loved by Ma Zhiwen, and her concept of life is also very similar.
"In fact, the three doors of Taoism and Confucianism and Buddhism are just branches of the same cadre, and the pursuit is to help the world and serve the people, and the difference is that the method is different. "Mingxuan also had a good exchange with the Zhide Master of Leiyin Temple, and now he is chatting with Ma Zhiwen of Baixuetang, not to mention his own Taoism, I feel that the three doors actually have a lot in common.
"I don't know about this, if only I could travel the rivers and lakes like a child. Haoyue said enviously.
"As long as the girl wants to, it will come true. "It is true that there will be many inconveniences for women to walk the rivers and lakes, especially beautiful women.
"How can it be so easy, I can come to Liangcheng with a lot of effort, or the master said from the side, my father and mother reluctantly agreed, now they already know that I have lived in the proud building for a long time, and when I am an oiran here, I am already angry, I am afraid that the people who will arrest me back in the next few days will come, and it is difficult to say whether I can go out in the future." Haoyue said with a sad face, in the eyes of the world, Qinglou will not be a good place at all, even Mingxuan thinks so, not to mention his parents' generation.
"If necessary, I will testify for the girl. Mingxuan said enthusiastically.
"That's not necessary, my parents are reasonable people, I can explain it clearly, but I'm afraid I'm going to be grounded in the future. Haoyue said bitterly, it seems that he is also the master who can't be idle.
"In a few days, I'm leaving, oh, by the way, the girl has lived in the North for a long time and knows countless people, can I ask you about someone?" Ming Xuan suddenly asked.
"Childe, please speak. Haoyue replied.
"Disciple Ou Zhiyang. Ming Xuan said in a loud voice.
"Ou Zhiyang?I haven't heard of it, but half a year ago, it seems that there was a Ou Gongzi in the proud building, the piano, chess, calligraphy and painting are all good, and no one in the proud building can beat him, Xiaocui Xiaohe admires him very much, but I have something to do that day, not in the building, and the specific situation is not clear, maybe he is the person the son is looking for, I will ask Xiaocui Xiaohe when I go back. Haoyue thought for a moment and said.
"I'm afraid it's Big Brother Ou, then it's annoying girl. With Ou Zhiyang's talent and temperament, Ming Xuan felt that eight or nine were inseparable, and his heart suddenly felt a lot more steady.
In the middle of the conversation unconsciously, Guzheng Street has arrived.
