The days are passing by, and the summer solstice is here in the blink of an eye.

Li Ye, who was holding half a bowl of water, was no longer wet. Pedestrians on the road were not surprised and no longer laughed at Li Ye. They just regarded this scene as scenery.

In the afternoon of that day, Li Ye came to the front of the hall with a volume of books in his hands and asked: "Sir, why are there many poems and books in your study that are not collected in the academy?" After speaking, he pointed to the open scroll.

On one page, he said: "Just like this sentence: If you live high in a temple, you worry about its people; if you live far away from the rivers and lakes, you worry about your king. What does it mean?"

The gentleman was half-lying on a bamboo chair in front of the hall to rest. After listening to Li Ye's words, he thought for a long time how to answer.

After a while, the husband said: "I'm a little tired. Let's boil some water to make tea."

Li Ye called Agui to fetch water, then added charcoal to the stove to boil water for tea. As usual, he lit a pot first to wake up his husband.

Add water, boil the water, warm the pot, wash the cups, wash the tea, and in a short while the tea is served to the husband.

In the afternoon, the fragrance of tea lingers.

The gentleman stroked the tea cup, took a sip, looked at Li Ye, and said: "This book is not from Dongxuan Domain. Of course you have never seen it."

"Is that from the Xixuan Territory?" Li Ye asked, picking up the teacup himself.

The gentleman did not answer Li Ye's question, but closed his eyes slightly and said, "Do you know the distribution of our open territory?"

"We are in the Dongxuan Territory, and there are Nanxuan, Xixuan, Beixuan, and Zhongxuan Territory. The Middle Territory is what people call the Imperial City. There is another world above us. One day you will cultivate.

When it arrives, it will break through the realm and soar to that place, which is what the world calls the Immortal Realm."

"And these poems and books of mine do not come from other realms, but from another planet parallel to ours. Some people call it the Aqua Blue Planet... The articles in these books should be enough for you to read carefully.

.”

"If you live high in a temple, you worry about the people; if you live far away from the rivers and lakes, you worry about the king. The general idea is that when you are a king in the court, you will not harm the people; if you are in the rivers and lakes, you will not bully the king. This is so difficult, it is what the saints do."

Li Yexin said that it turned out to be a civilization from another starry sky. No wonder he had never seen it. He added some tea to his husband and said: "This sentence of not being happy with things and not being sad with oneself seems to be similar to my spiritual practice."

place."

The gentleman nodded in approval.

The gentleman took a sip of tea and said with a smile: "You are familiar with these poems and books. In our five areas, it can be said that you are unprecedented and a newcomer."

"You don't understand some of the truths in the book now because you are still young and have not experienced the troubles of the world. This does not affect your study. You should read as much as you can now and memorize as much as you can. As you grow up day by day, one day you will

You will understand."

Li Ye's little head nodded.

Before leaving the hall, he asked Agui to get an alms bowl to carry water. After these days of hard practice, Li Ye could skillfully carry three alms bowls, and his walking was smooth and he no longer staggered here and there.

With water on his head and a book of poems in his hand, little Li Ye walked through his teacher's purple bamboo forest, and the sound of reading came from afar: "Young people don't know the feeling of sorrow, so they fall in love with the upper floors. Falling in love with the upper floors, for

The new poems in the poem forcefully talk about sadness. Now that I know all the feeling of sadness, I want to say it but I still want to say it. I want to say it but it’s autumn!”

Although the voice is childish, it is penetrating.

After walking through the bamboo forest and arriving at the front of the hall, the gentleman drinking tea gently clapped his hands and nodded his head, as if he had returned to his youth, and he couldn't help but feel crazy for a moment.

After passing through the purple bamboo forest, we wandered to the road outside the courtyard wall. The passers-by heard this and praised him: The young talent led by Mr. is really full of literary talent, it is no exaggeration.

Agui didn't understand, but he was also happy and thought to himself: "Young master is truly a versatile man in both civil and military affairs!"

On this day, Li Ye did not go back to the academy, but said to Agui: "Go back and tell my parents that I have been living with my husband these days and I have to finish reading these poems and books."

Agui nodded quickly and said yes.

The gentleman was so excited that he called Li Ye over, took the harp and burned incense, and wanted to compose a tune for this poem.

After hearing this, Li Ye called Agui and went back to the front of the hall to fetch water for his husband to wash his hands, while he went to the piano room to move the piano.

After the piano was placed and the incense was burned, the gentleman sat in front of the piano, meditating and composing music.

Li Ye and Agui also sat quietly in front of the husband, wanting to listen to the husband playing the piano.

The teacher picked up a tune, gently strummed the strings, and began to play. After playing the strings three times, the teacher called Li Ye to stand up and said, "You follow my tune, sing along, and give it a try."

When Li Ye heard this, he stood up excitedly and stood beside the husband, waiting for him to start the tune.

Then, the piano played and the children sang.

Young people don’t know what it’s like to be sad

Fall in love with upstairs. Fall in love with upstairs

To compose new words and express sorrow

Now I know all the sorrow

If you want to talk, please stop. If you want to talk, please stop.

But it’s a cool autumn!

In the summer afternoon, there are cicadas humming, combined with the sound of Mr. Wang's piano and Li Ye's children's voice, forming the sound of nature...

The melodious sound of the piano and singing intoxicated the purple bamboos in the courtyard, and the pedestrians passing by outside the courtyard.

Time stops at this moment, and heaven and man become one.

From that night on, Li Ye did not go back to the academy. He stayed in his husband's study all day, immersed in the ocean of poetry and poetry. In the ocean of poetry, he met Li Bai, who was drunk and was demoted as a concubine. He drank, gambled and divorced his husband.

The layman Yi An, the sword-wielding Mr. Jiaxuan Xin, the ten years of life and death, Su Dongpo who was exiled thousands of miles...

I seem to have seen the empress of the Southern Tang Dynasty who took pictures all over the railings.

Yue Pengju, who couldn't get back the twelve gold medals, was so angry that he stood in front of him.

Du Shaoling whose thatched hut was broken by the autumn wind

Bai Juyi in the Palace of Eternal Life on July 7th...

In the ocean of poetry and words, there is no day or night.

Agui delivered three meals a day to Li Ye in the study.

For a whole month, Li Ye was obsessed with his husband's books, as if Li Twelve from back then was back.

The husband didn't care about Li Ye, he just boiled water to make tea, watered the flowers, and planted the fields.

In the words of Mr.

I looked down upon a bowl of tea

Look at the crescent moon

...

This month, Li Ye has not appeared in the outside world, but his shadow is there in the outside world.

The business with the best business in Fengyun City must be the Hongxiu Building on East Street.

The pillars of the four-story Hongxiu Tower are made of marble taken from the Fengyun Mountains, which is hard yet gorgeous. The beams in the hall are made of golden nanmu pulled from the Xixuan Territory.

In Li Hongxiu's words: The wine is the mellowest and strongest, and the girls are the most beautiful. What's terrible is that the cost here is also the most expensive in the city.

There is never a shortage of guests in the Hongxiu Building, and there is singing and dancing every day. It is the uncle who spends the money. With a wave of his hand, silver and gold coins are spent. The girls in the building are playing music and singing, holding the silver in their little hands, and they are feeling the same in their hearts.

Flowers.

The common people in Fengyun City pay for their daily groceries in copper coins minted by the Imperial City of Zhongxuan Region.

The girls in Fengyun City went to Jinbaotang to buy rouge and gouache, and spent the common silver coins.

The cheerful old man in the Red Sleeve Tower spends gold coins.

The only thing that makes the talented man dissatisfied is that the girls in Hongxiulou are prostitutes but not their bodies. In the words of the owner Li Hongxiu, if there is no shortage of money, you can come or not if you like.

You can spend money to listen to music, drink wine, compose poems, and make friends with literature. If you tease the girl in the building, you will be fined a few hundred gold coins at the least, or the owner of the building will break your bones and throw them out of the building.

There was once a gangster in the city who did not believe in evil, so he was beaten severely by Li Hongxiu and hung on the stone bridge of Liuhe River in public. He was so frightened that he was scared to death.

The summer sun was shining brightly, and Li Hongxiu was leaning against the railing upstairs, squinting her eyes and wandering in thought.

The girl in the building, Xiaohua, came up, brought a pot of herbal tea, and poured it for Li Hongxiu.

He stretched out his hand to hold the cup and was about to take a sip when a loud noise came from the private room in the building.

She frowned slightly and waved her hand: "Go and see who is making noise inside."

Xiaohong quickly turned around and went upstairs to take a look.

After a while, Xiaohong came back with a plate of ice-soaked watermelon. He put it on the table and replied: "The host is Tang Youyu, the master of the medicine pavilion in the city. He is hosting a banquet for his medicine merchant."

"Just treat guests, why are you so noisy!" Li Hongxiu thought to herself, I was taking a nap just to relax.

"Owner, I heard from Pavilion Master Tang that Li Ye was writing lyrics again. When he passed by Zizhuyuan a few days ago, he heard playing and singing inside."

Li Hongxiu was stunned and replied: "Li Ye sang again?"

Xiaohua smiled and said, "There seems to be a saying: Young people don't know what it's like to be sad."

“Young people don’t know what it’s like to be sad?”

The sleepy Li Hongxiu suddenly became energetic, picked up a piece of watermelon, and said: "This kid, the sentence he wrote last time in the City Lord's Mansion was amazing."

"That's right, everyone is talking about Li Ye's music. It would be great if you could hear it in our building. No, I'm quarreling with you. I gave you a watermelon to apologize."
