After driving away Wang Landian's master and servant, Su Mingzhe was about to turn around and leave, but was stopped by several people in the pavilion:
"Benefactor!"
"Brother, stay here——"
The mother and daughter selling lotus flowers knew that if it weren't for Su Mingzhe, they would have suffered the risk of their family being destroyed. Seeing that Su Mingzhe showed no intention of repaying his kindness, they felt even more grateful.
The woman took her daughter and wanted to give Su Mingzhe a big gift.
"This madam, and this young lady, Su just followed the teachings of the saints and drew their swords to help when they saw uneven roads. If you two are grateful and lend a little help to people in need in the future, you will be giving back to me.
."
Su Mingzhe helped the mother and daughter selling lotus flowers up and comforted them. Then he looked at Liang Shanbo. Zhu Yingtai smiled and said:
"You two dear friends called me, but what's your advice?"
"I don't dare to accept my advice. I'm Liang Shanbo. This is my friend Zhu Yingtai. We see your brother generously helping the mother and daughter. We admire him in our hearts and want to get to know each other. I wonder if your brother would mind?"
Liang Shanbo, a tall man, was a little shy in nature. When he bowed his hands to Su Mingzhe, his face even turned red.
Su Mingzhe looked at Liang Shanbo and then at Zhu Yingtai, whose legs and feet were intact, and a trace of curiosity arose in his heart.
That night, in order to vent his anger, Su Mingzhe picked up a stone and hit Zhu Yingtai.
According to Su Mingzhe's estimate, even if Zhu Yingtai loses one bone in her foot, she will need to rest at home for a month or two.
Now, Zhu Yingtai appears in front of him intact, which is very puzzling.
…
Su Mingzhe suppressed the doubts in his heart and returned the gift to the two of them. Then he looked as usual and said with a smile:
"Confucius said: If three people are traveling together, one of them must be my teacher! Two brothers are willing to be friends with Su. Su doesn't want it, so how can he mind?"
After listening to Su Mingzhe's words, Liang Shanbo thought that Su Mingzhe was humble, studious, and a good teacher and friend, and he was immediately overjoyed.
Zhu Yingtai next to her said this in her heart, and a feeling of disgust arose deep in her heart.
It turns out that the next sentence of [The Master said: ‘When three people are walking together, there must be my teacher!’] is [Choose the good ones and follow them, and change the bad ones!]
Although Su Mingzhe didn't use the next sentence, in Zhu Yingtai's view, Su Mingzhe used a superior psychological attitude to talk to the two of them.
If he hadn't seen Liang Shanbo and Su Mingzhe talking happily, Zhu Yingtai would have turned around and left.
Even so, Zhu Yingtai felt sulky in his heart. When Su Mingzhe and Liang Shanbo stopped talking, he couldn't help but sneered:
"Brother Su, I saw a few lotus flowers on your book boy's body. It seems that you are a lotus person! No wonder you would spend hundreds of gold to save this mother and daughter!"
Zhu Yingtai's unabashed attitude accused Su Mingzhe of not having a simple purpose in saving people, which immediately made the atmosphere in the pavilion feel cold.
Especially the mother and daughter selling lotus flowers seemed at a loss.
Su Mingzhe raised his eyebrows when he saw this.
After thinking of something, the corners of his mouth curved again and he smiled:
"Brother Zhu is really my soulmate. When we first met, Brother Zhu immediately noticed that I like lotus flowers! To be honest with the two brothers, Su has three major hobbies in his life: reading, practicing martial arts, and appreciating lotus flowers (face appreciation)!"
Liang Shanbo had an honest mind and didn't understand the meaning of Su Mingzhe's words, so he quickly praised him a few times.
However, Zhu Yingtai heard that Su Mingzhe was sarcastically saying that she was "not appreciative" and couldn't help but blush:
"This evil thief actually made fun of me!"
Not enough words to speculate.
Seeing that Zhu Yingtai had a bad feeling for him, Su Mingzhe didn't bother to talk nonsense with her. After making a sarcastic remark, he handed her over and left.
Unexpectedly, Zhu Yingtai is not only a woman, but also a narrow-minded woman.
Being ridiculed by Su Mingzhe in person, Zhu Yingtai was silent for a moment and then immediately retaliated:
"Brother Su loves lotus so much, he must have written a lot of poems about lotus. I wonder if I will be lucky enough to read one or two of them?"
"Ai Lian's poem?"
Su Mingzhe rolled his eyes and asked him to recite poems and compose poems. Naturally, he didn't have stage fright.
However, he is not good at this, and most of the time he has to be a "official copywriter".
Therefore, Su Mingzhe would definitely not be willing to let himself ‘lose’ a classic masterpiece for no reason.
After thinking for a moment, Su Mingzhe looked at the mother and daughter selling lotus flowers again, and as soon as he rolled his eyes, he thought:
"Su did write a lot of poems about lotus, but what he is most proud of in his life is not the poems, but an unwritten narrative. If you two want to appreciate it, I will write it down right away!"
"please--"
Liang Shanbo was not a mean person, so he would not laugh at Su Mingzhe.
Zhu Yingtai had a sneer on his lips:
"Brother Su is most proud of his narratives. We really want to read them!"
Although "parallel prose" was popular in the Wei and Jin Dynasties, the theme of "shuoji" was also relatively popular.
In recent decades, the most famous one is Tao Yuanming's "Peach Blossom Spring".
"Master, I will grind it for you!"
The scholar Mingyan has a blind admiration for her young master. As she spoke, she was about to take out the pen, ink, paper and inkstone she had just packed away.
"No need for pen and ink!"
Su Mingzhe shook his head slightly, and suddenly smiled at the mother and daughter selling lotus flowers:
"This lady, and this young lady, as the saying goes, a good man will go to the end and send Buddha to the west. I will give you another fortune, I hope you can accept it! If you encounter trouble in the future, you can go to the third bridge in the city
Xiang, find a girl named Yu Wuxia to help, just tell me my name!"
As Su Mingzhe said that, he came to stand behind the stone tablet next to Caoqiao Pavilion.
Just when everyone was curious about what Su Mingzhe was going to do.
Su Mingzhe combined his two fingers, turned them into sword fingers, and started writing on the back of the stone tablet.
As his sword finger shook, one-inch fonts appeared on the originally extremely hard stone tablet.
"Ai Lian said that the most lovely things among plants, trees, water and land flowers..."
Zhu Yingtai stayed at home all year round and had little experience. She didn't notice anything unusual. She just recited to the words written by Su Mingzhe:
"...I only love the lotus that emerges from the mud and remains unstained...the love of peonies is suitable for everyone. Su Mingzhe of Yuyao left a message on August 18th, Dingsi year!"
Everyone present, except Zhu Yingtai, did not look at the "Ai Lian Shuo" at all, but stared at the "stone powder" falling on the ground, shocked and inexplicable.
The stele is made of the hardest marble. If a mason wants to carve words on it, he has to use a chisel and hammer hard on it.
But Su Mingzhe's fingers were actually three points harder than the chisel. He directly used the marble stele as a tofu block and wrote down more than a hundred words in a blink of an eye.
"Could the young master be the reincarnation of an immortal Buddha?"
The woman selling lotus was so panicked that she took her daughter and knelt down to Su Mingzhe.
During the Wei, Jin, Southern and Northern Dynasties, people at that time were particularly fond of immortal and Buddhist culture.
Correspondingly, Wu Shi San (Han Shi San) is popular among cultivators, hermits, Taoists, Buddhists and other cultures.
Faced with the blind admiration of mother and daughter, Su Mingzhe just waved his hand gently and an invisible energy lifted them up.
This also convinced the two of them that Su Mingzhe was the reincarnation of the immortal Buddha.
After all, in their perception, Su Mingzhe's methods are no different from those of immortals and Buddhas.
Liang Shanbo was very knowledgeable. After being amazed, he praised:
"Unexpectedly, Brother Su is not only talented in literature, but also has reached the pinnacle of his martial arts. Even compared with the Immortal and the True Lord, he is not far behind!"
