Chapter 84: Punishing the Heart and Punishing the Heart
Fang Yingwu asked Zhu Yunming to continue, but received no response. He saw that Zhu Yunming was in a daze at this moment.
At this time, apart from Fang Yingwu, Zhu Yunming was probably the most clever person in the room. He had vaguely noticed that Fang Yingwu seemed to have been doing it on purpose, but why was he doing it on purpose?
Zhu Yunming thought about it again and again, but just couldn't figure it out. It should be because of his teacher Shang Xianggong and the regional opinion? But it doesn't seem to be entirely true.
Du Mu reminded him several times, and Zhu Yunming woke up and realized that it was his turn to compose a poem. However, how to write this poem needed careful consideration and caution.
Seeing Fang Yingwu staring at him eagerly, Zhu Yunming made up his mind. He didn't want to be outstanding, but he wanted to have no faults. He couldn't give Fang Yingwu a chance to find fault.
Zhu Yunming claimed to be able to compose poems when he was less than ten years old, and his talent was naturally not slow. He soon had a poem, and he recited: "The knot of hair is an even sentence, the four chapters of dancing with a spoon, the expedition against Uncle Yang, and the fashionable reputation After the King of Teng, the ancestors of the Ming Dynasty and the Ming Dynasty, the public looked forward to Zhang Pijiang, he carried the sword and taught many skills, the child was weak and soared high, he knew from afar that after three centuries, he lived and guarded Chunfang."
The content is very orthodox, expressing the ambition to study hard and stand out in the future.
But this was a banquet for carpe diem, and everyone in the room found it boring after hearing it. Could it be that, under the influence of Fang Yingwu, tonight’s poems must all use this hypocritical slogan-like boring tone? What kind of elegant gathering is that? !
But Zhu Yunming breathed a sigh of relief. As long as he could write it down, it would be fine. As long as he could avoid following the facts. Besides, the subject matter was absolutely correct. Even Fang Yingwu wanted to study and take the imperial examination. It cannot be said that studying hard was wrong, so he thought There is no choice.
Fang Yingwu smiled half-heartedly and asked about a seemingly irrelevant topic, "My friend, I heard that you took the famous scholar Shen Zhou as your disciple? What do you think of Mr. Shen as a person?"
When he heard the mention of his teacher, Zhu Yunming immediately responded respectfully and replied: "Exactly, thanks to you, I worshiped under your teacher's door a few years ago and studied poetry and painting."
As mentioned earlier, Shen Zhou is a famous scholar in Wuzhong and the spiritual leader of the Wuzhong literati circle. Fang Yingwu turned to ask: "What do you think of Mr. Shen?"
Zhu Yunming replied with full praise: "Sir, he is comfortable in seclusion and leisurely. He does not seek fame and wealth, but only knows how to place his love in the mountains and rivers. He forgets his love in the court and market, and is willing to live in the mountains and forests. He does not know what the crown is made of. The bell and tripod are What? It can be seen that I am a hermit with an extraordinary teacher and a noble character."
"That's right. He deserves to be a famous person in the world. I admired him very much after hearing it." Fang Yingwu praised, and then said doubtfully: "From the sentence "Children are weak and they can soar high", if you look at people through poetry, you will have success and fame in your heart. Where does the heart come from? Why is it so strong?”
Zhu Yunming couldn't answer, and he couldn't answer it. He was born in a family of officials, and he received orthodox education since he was a child. He should subconsciously do this. He took the imperial examination to realize his personal ambitions, and to show off his relatives and make a name for himself. How could there be so many reasons why? ?
Fang Yingwu made a big discussion: "If we judge people with poems, we should also judge poems with people! You admire Mr. Shen's nobility and seclusion so much, and you worship him as your teacher, but you are also determined to be enterprising in your poems. Isn't this contradictory? ?You didn’t even imitate me. Could it be that Mr. Ye is fond of dragons?”
Zhu Yunming seemed to be touched in his heart again and remained silent. In fact, he had been avoiding certain problems intentionally or unintentionally.
Fang Yingwu then asked again: "You are from a family of officials. You will definitely be on the yellow list in the future and make great achievements, so that you can live up to your life ambitions and the expectations of your father and ancestors, right?"
Zhu Yunming nodded.
Fang Yingwu asked again: "But being secluded in the mountains and forests like your master, solitary and at ease, and famous for his talent and art in the world, this is also your ideal, isn't it?"
Zhu Yunming nodded again.
Fang Yingwu asked directly to his true heart: "Then what is your ambition? Do you understand your true heart? What kind of life do you want?"
Zhu Yunming suddenly felt very confused. What was his real determination? He couldn't tell clearly.
Fang Yingwu continued to ask: "When you were a child, you followed Ling Zu and passed by Taihang Mountain. How was the scenery?"
"The mountains and rivers are majestic and vast!"
"Now that you live in Jiangnan, how is the scenery in Jiangnan?"
"A beautiful place with beautiful water and mountains."
Fang Yingwu shouted: "So which kind of scenery is better? I hope you can figure it out for yourself! If you don't understand it, don't write any poems about your aspirations."
If you don’t understand clearly and are always distracted, let alone imitating Wu, Wang and other sages, you will accomplish nothing in the end, and your fame will be like the moon in the mirror!”
In fact, Fang Yingwu knew that Zhu Zhishan had always been struggling between his desire for fame and his wild and unrestrained life. On the one hand, he hoped to be recognized by the mainstream standards of society, and on the other hand, he despised the world. Moreover, this person loved to think about the truth, so he could do it as soon as possible.
It's not a bad thing to figure it out.
But Zhu Yunming was in a trance, holding his head on the desk and thinking hard. Others were a little shocked, and Fang Yingwu seemed to have a pair of eyes that could see through people's hearts!
After settling one, Fang Yingwu silently cheered himself up, and turned to Du Mu: "I wish my friend has already solved the problem, and I have to wait patiently for my friend to finish his work."
Du Mu's talent was somewhat inferior to that of the other two, so he had to hurriedly sing a song, as if he was competing.
Fang Yingwu was not interested in reading his poems, and directly raised his own questions: "You, Zhu Yunming, and Yang Xunji are both known as child prodigies. My friend Zhu is a child prodigy and can write and write poems since he was a child. My friend Yang is also a child prodigy. It is said that he has been able to write and write poems since he was a child."
I have read more than ten thousand volumes. Then I heard that my friend was also a child prodigy since he was a child? Why don't you hear about your deeds? "
The so-called miracle is just a fabrication because you want to be on the same level as your two friends Zhu Yunming and Yang Xunji, and you want to take advantage of it. After all, if you are not a child prodigy, you will not be famous at a young age, and no one will compare you with Zhu Yunming and Yang Xunji.
say."
Du Mu's face was extremely ugly. Fang Yingwu's words were interesting to outsiders, but he, the client, felt chilled in his heart. He was right.
Fang Yingwu didn't have a good impression of Du Mu to begin with. He was just a person with the nature of betraying his friends. He just didn't know if under his influence, Du Mu would betray Tang Bohu in the future!
He continued to sarcastically say: "Are you trying to be one of them even if you pretend to be fat? Anyway, you Suzhou talents have been praising each other a lot, and your boasting has made the lies come true. Now that you are twenty, even more
There is no way to verify whether the miracles performed when I was a child were true or false."
Fang Yingwu paused and commented unceremoniously: "We all like epigraphy and collecting books. This hobby is very special. It is neither calligraphy nor painting. It is rare. There are very few talented people in Suzhou who only like these two things.
That’s right. I think you have no other talents, so you have to find two places that others don’t care much about to show off?"
In the end, Fang Yingwu said heartily: "Your heart must be full of jealousy and dissatisfaction with your friends, but you still get together with them, do you want to take advantage of it? But if you don't get rid of your jealousy, I'm afraid you will end up
Something went wrong!”
Du Mu wanted to refute Fang Yingwu severely, but he opened his mouth several times but no sound came out.
He knows his own family affairs, so it would be fine if Fang Yingwu was just making things up, but what he said were all facts. Facts that he would never dare to admit, this is the most terrifying thing.
But these are private secrets hidden deep in the heart. How could Fang Yingwu expose them sentence after sentence?
Now that all the secrets in his heart had been exposed and made public, it was as if he had been forced to take off his clothes in broad daylight. He had never experienced this horrifying feeling, so he was completely at a loss.
Zhu Yunming thought hard and Du Mu was at a loss. Yang Xunji, the last member of the All-Star trio, sat there, dumbfounded and speechless for a long time.
For a sixteen or seventeen-year-old boy, he is mature and sophisticated, and it is not surprising that he is talented, but how can he know the inner thoughts of others so well?
It is impossible for even the closest elder friend or the wife who shares the same bed to see them so clearly. And this Fang Yingwu simply seems to see them clearly inside and out.
If you want to challenge each other, this is simply not equal! There is no way they can overwhelm Fang Yingwu!
Yang Xunji's character is very wild and willful, but he also fears ghosts, gods and unknowable phenomena. Now, in his opinion, Fang Yingwu's words and deeds cannot be explained by common sense at all, and can only be attributed to ghosts and gods. This is terrible!
Of course Fang Yingwu knew very well that among the talented young men in Suzhou Prefecture, including later Tang Bohu, Wen Zhengming, and Xu Zhenqing, how many of them became famous in the imperial examinations and officialdom? If you look for the reasons, you may not necessarily have unhealthy mentality factors.
Of course, it can also be said that this is a life that transcends the secular world, liberates individuality, and pursues spiritual freedom. But there is a premise. Most of them first gain fame and officialdom recognized by the mainstream, and only then can they succeed.
Only Shen Zhou, a senior figure in the Wuzhong sect, and a great celebrity, who never participated in the imperial examinations or accepted conquests for the rest of his life, could be considered a truly enlightened person.
Fang Yingwu asked himself, if he could not achieve anything by the time he was forty years old, he would probably have to cynically let things go, dance drunkenly and sing wildly. Then he copied hundreds of famous poems, echoed those of Tang Bohu from north to south, and transformed into the No. 1 poet in Zhejiang Province.
A romantic and talented man.
But it seems that this is also quite touching. This kind of thinking is wrong! Fang Yingwu quickly shook off his bad thoughts. His main goal in life is not just to be a romantic talent!
Seeing that Yang Xunji was also stunned and had no interest in tonight, Fang Yingwu yawned and said, "It's getting late, let's call it a night!"
Outside Wangjiang Tower, passers-by saw the three famous local talents wandering around like zombies in a trance.
On the other side, there was a strange young man who was entangled, pulled and robbed by four or five local celebrities, making others envious and jealous.
Finally, with the help of three burly men, the young man escaped from the Rouge Formation and hurriedly headed towards Changmen. (To be continued. Please search Piao Tian Literature, the novel will be better and updated faster!)
