"My parents made it. You can try it. It tastes very good." She said to me.
I looked at the woven bag on the ground and said, "There are too many, so I'll just grab some. You need this even more if you are alone."
"I still have it," she said.
I immediately laughed, "Have you finished moving all the sausages and bacon from your house?"
"My parents know that I like to eat their food, so they make a lot of it every year," she said with a smile.
I couldn't help but sigh: "How pitiful the hearts of parents in the world are."
"Okay, okay, why are you saying such things? Don't you want to make me sad?" She suddenly became unhappy, "Hurry up and open your trunk."
I put my things in the car and said goodbye to her, but she said to me: "What? You are still very busy today? Why don't you come to my place to sit for a while?"
"It's a rare weekend and I want to take a good rest." I said.
"I didn't ask you to carry the gas tank for me. You can always have a cup of tea at my place, right?" she said to me with a smile.
I think so. Now that I have arrived at her place, it would be unreasonable not to go and sit with her, but I am a little worried because I know my own weaknesses. When I was in trouble, I suddenly remembered what the Chinese medicine expert said yesterday, so I said to her
: "Lilac, if you are free, please accompany me for a walk in the suburbs."
She immediately became happy and said, "Okay. Great."
I fell in love with this place at first sight. It is in the suburbs, close to the city, on a bare mountain by the river. There is a stone house. The front yard is surrounded by a few sparse green bamboo poles, which are not growing well. There is a small stream in the back yard.
The ditch connects a branch of the mountain spring, and flows down the mountain.
In fact, Ding Xiang discovered this place. When she came out of her school, she sat directly on the driver's seat and said, "I'll drive your nice car. Feel, feel what it's like to be a rich person."
I smiled and said nothing. She then drove out of the city, taking the direction closest to the suburbs. Sometimes I think many accidents still have their rationality. For example, today, when Lilac just drove out of the city, she discovered
After seeing the hill and the stone house on the hill, she said: "That place seems nice, and there is a road leading up to it. You are an off-road vehicle, so it should be fine."
We were here to relax and have fun, so of course I would not object to her proposal, so I said, "The steering wheel is in your hands, you can drive wherever you want."
So we quickly arrived in front of this stone house. Of course, the stone house is still some distance from the road, but the car was parked on the side of the road going up the mountain, and it only took a few minutes to walk here.
I immediately fell in love with this place because it gave me a feeling of paradise.
There was no one in the stone house, and it looked like a place that had been abandoned for a long time. I walked around the stone house and then came back and said to Ding Xiang: "This place will be well taken care of. Build another house to build it."
Cook rice and tea, and plant some green bamboos and trees before and after. It feels like you are far away from the city, but you don’t feel too far away from the city. It’s really nice.”
"You want to move here?" she asked me, with a surprised look on her face.
I smiled lightly and said, "Just talking."
Then she continued to drive up the mountain, with a higher mountain behind her. She stopped at a turning point, "It feels good to see the city from here."
"It's a pity that this mountain is so barren, otherwise it would be a good park site," I said.
"Sooner or later it will happen. When the city grows to surround the mountain," she said.
I shook my head and said: "This is the south of the city. Generally, cities will develop towards the north. This is the rule."
"Why?" she asked in surprise.
"First, because the south is mountainous, it is not conducive to urban expansion. The construction cost will also be very high. Second, the Chinese people have a deep-seated superstition and always feel that the north is where the king's aura lies. Look at the Yangtze River and the Yellow River. There are very few
There are cities built on the south bank, unless the geological conditions on the north bank are really bad." I said, in fact, I had read this in a book, and now that I talked about it, it suddenly came to my mind.
came out.
I like to read books, including some miscellaneous books. As long as I find them interesting, I don’t pay much attention to whether the knowledge in them is helpful to me. I think a lot of knowledge is the same as our experience. It seems unimportant at ordinary times, but you will find it when you need it.
They are very useful. For example, now, I can at least answer Lilac's question.
She nodded, "That seems to be the case. Most of the capitals of our country from ancient times to the present seem to have been located in the north."
"It is said that the imperial court with its capital in the south will not last long. This is the reason why the legendary king's Qi is in the north." I said, suddenly remembering a story, "Did you know that there was a great Yi scholar named Shao Yong during the Northern Song Dynasty?"
"I've heard of it. I didn't expect you to be so knowledgeable. Why did you suddenly think of this person?" She looked at me and smiled.
I smiled faintly. In fact, I only noticed such things after Lin Yi tested Duanmuxiong's calligraphy. Once I saw a story about Shao Yong, I was immediately interested. We just talked about it.
Regarding the matter of Wang Qi, I immediately remembered one of the stories, "One day, Shao Yong and his guests were walking on the Tianjin Bridge. Suddenly they heard the sound of cuckoos, and they suddenly became unhappy. When the guests asked why, Shao Yong said, Luoyang
There were no cuckoos in the old days, but now there are them. Within a few years, the emperor appointed a Southern scholar as his prime minister, attracted many Southerners, and changed his special duties. Since then, the world has been troubled. The guest thought it was strange and asked, how did he know it? Shao Yong said
, The world will be in order, and the earth's energy will flow from the north to the south. There will be chaos, from the south to the north. Now the earth's energy in the south has arrived, and birds and animals are the first to get the energy. Lilac, do you understand now? The ancients believed
Only when Wang Qi is in the north can the world be governed. Our current officials are very superstitious, so of course they will study this issue."
She immediately laughed, "I have also heard that today's officials are very superstitious. There is also a saying called 'big officials have great feng shui, small officials have small feng shui, no officials have no feng shui.' It means that all officials are superstitious.
What about Feng Shui?"
I laughed.
She had been driving all day. When she saw the beautiful scenery, she stopped the car to take a look, chatted for a while, and then moved forward. She didn't feel hungry until we reached a small town. Then, we ate in the small town.
Got something.
"What should I do? Keep going or go back?" she asked me after finishing the meal.
"Go back, it's almost dark now. I have a lot of things going on at home," I said.
"I'm so happy today," she said. "It will be great if I can go out and play like this more often in the future."
I suddenly remembered something, "Dingxiang, how about I introduce you to a boyfriend?"
She was stunned for a moment, and then asked me: "Who is it? Why did you suddenly remember this matter?"
"A classmate of mine in middle school has a master's degree from the National People's Congress. He is now a division-level cadre and holds a key position. What do you think?" I replied.
"Why hasn't he gotten married yet?" she asked in surprise.
I sighed in my heart: People have such habitual thinking. Why don't you think about how you would feel if someone asked you something like this? But I still answered her honestly, because I suddenly found that she is more suitable.
Kang Demao, at least she doesn’t have that kind of relationship with me, and she’s also a divorced woman with no children.
"My luck can't be so good? Will I meet such an outstanding man?" she said with a smile after listening to my introduction.
"Aren't you always very confident?" I laughed too.
"I never thought you would like to play matchmaker for others? You are quite fun," she said.
"It is said that such things are a sign of evil deeds." I laughed.
"You mean if I don't agree, I won't let you accumulate bad virtue?" she asked.
I didn't expect that she would ask me like this, but I felt that we were already familiar and casual, so I smiled and said, "It seems like that."
But she said: "Are you trying to sell me out?"
I immediately said seriously: "Yes, because you are my friend. I hope you are happy. My classmate is also my friend, and I hope he is happy too."
"So I have no choice but to agree?" she asked me with a smile.
I nodded, "Yes. You must agree." After saying that, I couldn't help laughing.
She burst into laughter immediately, "Feng Xiao, have you ever thought about it? What if your classmate doesn't like me? Or what if I feel that he is not that good after meeting him?"
"We should meet first, right? Otherwise, how do you know whether it's suitable or not?" I said with a smile.
"You have the intention to do good, but you will not be rewarded even though it is good. You have no intention to do evil, and even though you are evil, you will not be punished. You have the intention to accumulate evil virtue, so even if we become God, we will not reward you. Isn't this worthwhile for you?" she asked.
smiled.
"As long as you think it's appropriate. I don't care." I said, feeling that her words were a bit tricky.
"I understand, so it doesn't matter to you." She said this. I was stunned and didn't know what to say, because I heard another meaning from her words.
This world is sometimes strange, because coincidences always happen. At this moment, when Dingxiang and I were in an awkward situation, my phone rang, and it happened to be Kang Demao calling.
.
"Where are you?" he asked.
"Outside, getting ready to go home." I said.
"I want to treat you to dinner tonight, are you free?" he asked me.
"What's good? Who else is there?" I asked, and then went to see Lilac.
"Why did you answer the phone and watch me do it?" Ding Xiang muttered in a low voice. But her voice was still heard by Kang Demao, who asked: "Who are you with? Which beauty is it?"
"I asked you first. Answer quickly." I said.
"Just the two of us. The secretary-general of the provincial government came to talk to me about my transfer," he said.
I was very happy for him, "Really? How about it? Are you sure?"
"Almost, it's a formal conversation. Otherwise, why would I want to drink with you?" he said.
"Okay. I'll be right back. Tell me the place." I said.
"I'll send you a text message later." He said. (To be continued)
