At noon, Liu Kuan casually threw away his official robe and seal ribbon in the small courtyard at the foot of Fengshi Mountain, and then put on a set of refreshing silk robes... Well, he also studied boxer briefs by the way. Wearing clothes rarely seen in Luoyang, he followed Gongsun Yue straight to the back of Fengshi Mountain.
When we arrived at the place, it turned out that the other party was not lying at all.
Looking from a distance, I could see picturesque green land under the shade, meandering water bottles on the creek, and grape wine accompanied by fresh fruits and vegetables, high-ranking scholars laughing and chatting, children in light clothes...and my students and disciples who were always by their side. , such as Wang Yi, Fu Xie, Xu You, etc., as expected, there are also some other disciples and disciples whom I have only a good impression of, who are actually here. Obviously, this is the credit of Gongsun Zan. In addition, In addition, Lu Zhi was also sitting on a big rock, smiling and talking to his students.
Under such a situation, Liu Kuan couldn't help himself. Just as he was about to step forward, he unexpectedly saw a maid coming up to him with a wooden bowl of bright red wine.
At that time, Guang Luxun didn't say a word, but directly took the wine bowl and took a sip first. He only felt that the sweetness in his mouth was filled with a lot of refreshing air, and the heat was gone for a while.
"Wonderful! But you used deep well water to cool the cellar all day long?" Liu Kuan couldn't help but ask after being agitated.
"It's just as the teacher said." Gongsun Yue on the side quickly replied with a smile. "And once the jar is opened after taking it, the jar must be washed in the stream. It is said that it can retain the cold air and dispel the heat..."
"Where to wash it?" Liu Kuan asked curiously.
Gongsun Yue naturally looked at the maid who brought the wine.
"Downstream of the stream." The maid replied carefully, and her voice sounded a bit loud.
"How can it be placed downstream?" Liu Kuan held the wine bowl in one hand and slammed his thigh with the other hand. "If it were spilled, wouldn't the aroma of the wine be wasted? It should be placed upstream."
"Put it upstream and do it now!" Gongsun Yue immediately ordered.
The maid and the other servants behind her naturally agreed quickly.
"I'm sorry to bother you." As he spoke, Liu Kuan, regardless of his identity, patted the maid's shoulder with one hand and said thank you for your trouble... This shocked the Goguryeo maid who had just learned Chinese and almost fell down.
After explaining this matter, seeing a large group of people over there getting up to greet him, Liu Kuan quickly raised his glass from a distance and walked over with a quick smile: "The second and third sons are all sitting here, oh, how can it be because of me?" How can one old man make everyone stand up? Zigan, you are so lucky!"
Of course, a group of young scholars would not really sit back, but Lu Zhi glanced at each other and unceremoniously sat back with a wine glass in his hands... Liu Kuan didn't take it seriously at all, but continued to sit back with a smile. past.
Gongsun Yue and Gongsun Xun, who was among the scholars who stood up to greet them, looked at each other and smiled, but they were both buried among a large number of young scholars.
Great Confucian scholars, fine wines and delicacies, sipping Qushui, reciting poems and chanting scriptures... This kind of atmosphere is simply in line with the Confucian scholar-officials' understanding of the taste of life. In fact, under such circumstances, even the most old-fashioned Fu Xie and the most traditional Even Liu Bei, who is out of touch, can enjoy it together, let alone others.
Just like that, when the time came in the afternoon, most of the people present were a little drunk and became more and more dissolute. Many people began to sit around holding cups. Lu Zhi and Liu Kuan, who were originally the center of the crowd, were the only ones left. Brother Gongsun and a few others were waiting beside the stone.
"I never expected." Under the shade of a tree by the stream, Xu You, who had just walked over, couldn't help but clicked his tongue after taking a sip of wine. "I, Xu Ziyuan, can actually enjoy such a life... Fellow disciples
But still remember, a few years ago this wine was the most precious treasure in the world?"
"It's a treasure even today." Wang Yi, who was sitting under the tree, retorted immediately after hearing this. "As far as I know, although it is easy to make wine, the grapes are extremely difficult to find. Because if the grapes are planted in Liangzhou and the Western Regions, they will certainly produce more
It is rich, but it is difficult to preserve after being brewed into wine. It produces several stones. If half a bucket is left after being transported to the capital, it is a sign of great luck; but if it is grown inland, it can only be planted in Wenchi (hot spring).
There are still some warm ponds nearby. It is said that the yang energy is not strong, and the grapes grown are of very poor quality. Therefore, this wine is still one of the four famous brands in Luozhong today."
"Who says it's not?" Xu You drank the wine in one gulp, then slapped his thigh and said, "It's only thanks to Brother Xun's good fortune that I can have such enjoyment in the midsummer."
Wang Yi didn't refute that he was short-tongued: "Although Junior Brother Xun is from a neighboring county, he does have the purpose of spreading wealth. In a few years, he will inevitably have a name of 'chef'."
"It's just that Brother Xun has spent all this time and effort, but it may not be of any use?" Xu You nodded slightly at first, but then changed the topic when he spoke again, attracting several people under the shade of the tree to look sideways. "The two teachers are talking to each other.
If you have a grudge, you may not be willing to accept his blame."
"Brother Ziyuan, what do you mean by this?" Fu Xie, who was sitting aside but never wanted to talk to Xu You, frowned when he heard this. "Master Liu and Mr. Lu are both great scholars in China. Although one is lenient and the other is strict, and their personalities are very different,
But they are both virtuous people, and they have always had a deep personal friendship, so how could they harbor a grudge?"
"Virtue is virtue, and grudges are grudges. People with high virtues are not allowed to resent each other?" Xu You gently threw the empty wine glass to the ground, then twirled his beard and sneered. "Although you, Fu Xie, are from the north,
In a remote place like Dijun, I have been studying classics in Luoyang for some time. Don’t you know the disputes between modern and ancient Chinese texts? Did you know that a few days ago, Duke Lu once again wrote to the court, requesting that ancient Chinese texts be established as an official school? His words were sincere.
His Majesty was almost moved, but today, during the official meeting of the imperial court, the central princes once again suppressed the proposal, as if they were ignoring the great prosperity of ancient literature in Shandong... Under such circumstances, how could Mr. Lu look good on Master Liu?
?”
After hearing this, everyone couldn't help but look at Lu Zhi and Liu Kuan who were sitting over there. Sure enough, after knowing some of the inside stories, both Liu Kuan's smile and Lu Zhi's expressionless expression seemed to have some special meaning at this time.
Already.
"It's just a pain for Brother Xun and the others." Xu You pointed at the three Gongsun brothers who had been serving Lu Zhi and Liu Kuan from a distance. "Their brothers came from the western border counties of Liao Dynasty. Who knew about these disputes? Lu Gong was far away that day.
In Jiujiang, Master Liu wanted to take the three of them into his sect because of his talent. However, he accidentally caught the three brothers in the cracks and put them in a dilemma! The brothers had already been forced to serve two divisions separately.
Now these two elders, who had a close personal relationship with each other, have further developed a feud over this matter, and they have to work hard to persuade the two elders to reconcile... And looking at the situation over there, I'm afraid the two elders don't appreciate it very much...
…Thanks to them for their hard work!”
Fu Xie frowned even more when he heard this: "For a gentleman, political opinions are political opinions, and personal friendships are personal friendships. How can years of personal friendships be damaged just because of arguments in the court, and how can one's own disciples be harmed?
Brother Gongsun is right to do this. Moreover, if there is a rift between the elders, we cannot just sit here and drink and have fun. We should go together to persuade them!"
As he said this, this young scholar with the style of an ancient gentleman put down his wine glass and stood up, intending to directly persuade Liu Kuan and Lu Zhi to make peace.
Most of the people sitting there were startled for a moment, and then after a moment's thought, they all got up and followed them - not to mention how much they had inherited the generosity of the Gongsun brothers in the past, but even after drinking so much wine today, they still wanted to help and say a word.
ah!
Besides, isn't there already a leader? If the two elders are really dissatisfied, they are not afraid of being hit with a stick.
And don’t mention it, after passing one to two, two to three, many people wanted to go to see him, and it was difficult for others to pretend to be dead. But in the end, all the disciples from the two families stood up, and in front of Fu Xie,
Under the leadership of Wang Yi, Zhen Yi and others, we went to see the two elders!
So, after a while, Lu Zhi and Liu Kuan couldn't help but feel embarrassed and speechless even though they were very good at nourishing qi... After all, some things were out there and they couldn't refute them at all, and they wouldn't accept them once there were more people.
In rebuttal:
Has Master Lu's petition been flooded by officials from the imperial court such as Master Liu recently? Are the two of them belonging to two camps engaged in a court dispute?
Is it difficult for the Gongsun brothers to behave in the cracks? Does today's banquet serve the purpose of easing the relationship between the two teachers?
And today, Master Lu, have you been keeping a straight face today, and Master Liu, have you been smiling and wanting to talk to you, Master Lu?
Are they all correct? And if they are correct...then you must have a rift! And it is wrong for gentlemen and great scholars to have rifts, and they must be corrected!
Oh, you said the previous points are all right, but Master Lu always likes to have a dark face, not angry... That doesn't exist, it must be an excuse! It must be an excuse!
"So, please two elders put aside their prejudices and don't ruin the friendship between gentlemen!" Fu Xie spoke sincerely and looked solemn. He actually bowed and saluted repeatedly, and was about to lead everyone to kneel down to apologize. "Ancient and modern texts.
Quarrel is already of no use to the country, and if the two masters have personal quarrels again, wouldn't it mean that the disciples who are chatting happily with each other today will also be divided into two factions and attack each other in the future?"
"Ahem!" At this time, not to mention the tolerant Liu Kuan, even the always serious Lu Zhi was a little uncontrollable. The two looked at each other, as if they were preparing to fool the general and the prime minister first.
But at this moment, another person who was barely involved, Gongsun Zan, suddenly stood up, bowed and saluted the large group of scholars in front of him, and his voice was so loud that he immediately calmed the scene: "Brothers and fellow apprentices,
"Please be patient and don't be impatient. Zan has something to say. Please listen to it."
Liu Kuan and Lu Zhi naturally breathed a sigh of relief when they saw someone coming out to relieve the siege. The scholars, who came here for the sake of the wine, would certainly not deny face to the Gongsun brothers.
"Brothers." After seeing the situation calm down, Gongsun Zan offered his hands again. "I, Gongsun Zan, have thanked you all on behalf of my two younger brothers... To be honest with you, our brothers are really worried that the two senior teachers will also fight against each other.
There was a rift between them, so we organized this midsummer outing in the hope that the two of them could shake hands and have a good time."
Even though Lu Zhi had mastered Qi-nurturing skills, his face changed dramatically when he heard this word... Wouldn't it be disgusting to shake hands with Liu Kuan, who doesn't like to wash his hands, and have fun?!
"But," Gongsun Bogui said with a smile. "It was only when I served the two elders that I realized that our worries were unfounded. The two elders are so noble in moral character, how could they do things that would embarrass us disciples? I
Gongsun Zan can tell you clearly that there is no quarrel between the two elders!"
Liu Kuan and Lu Zhi rarely nodded with satisfaction at the same time, and then stroked their beards together.
"And it's not just that." Gongsun Zan suddenly lowered his head, but continued to smile. "As far as I know, Master Liu's trip represents the intention of the princes in the court to come to see Master Lu to resolve the dispute between ancient and modern literature. It's just that this
The matter is of great importance, and it is inevitable for both parties to be cautious when talking to each other, which is why you all misunderstood... Master Liu?"
When Liu Kuan, who was in a state of shock and confusion, heard this sound, he didn't know how to respond for a moment.
"It's the student Meng Lang." Gongsun Zan saw this situation and quickly bowed his head to apologize. "In fact, I made a wild guess, and even if I guessed this kind of thing, I shouldn't say it. It's just that the brothers and sisters had a misunderstanding and had no choice but to admit it.
tell……"
"It doesn't matter, it doesn't matter!" Liu Kuan, who was half drunk, laughed dryly at first, and then laughed loudly. "Actually, to be honest, Mr. Yang, the doctor of Guanglu, was appointed to take charge of the Xiping Stone Scripture, and I did not accept it when I came here today.
He asked him to discuss this dispute between ancient and modern literature with Lu Gong in private... I didn't expect that Bogui was so smart that he would have heard something; and I didn't want you students to become suspicious.
I tried to persuade him first. I am indeed at fault for this matter. I should... I should punish myself with three bowls of wine. Is there any left of this fine wine?"
Gongsun Zan was the first to laugh, and then all the young scholars also laughed loudly, causing birds and animals to run away in the mountains and fields. Gongsun Yue quickly brought another jar of wine and served Liu Kuan... Only Lu Zhimian
He didn't change his expression, didn't say a word, and still stood proudly aside. However, unexpectedly, Gongsun Xun, who was following the crowd and laughing with his palms, was stealing a glance at him.
And slowly, the latter finally felt relieved.
"Righteousness is the spirit of the land, benevolence is the gold soup, the iron stone is humble. Gong Sui, Liu Kuan, and the concubine, Zhang Fei and Guan Yu are too fast." - "Quan Yan Shi". Master Guan Xiu
