Lin Jue raised his head and recalled for a moment, and said with a smile: "It happened the year before last. The student was studying in a private school, but he felt that it would be difficult to make progress without the guidance of an unknown teacher. I have heard of the name of the teacher for a long time.
I have admired him for a long time. Although I thought the chance was slim, I wanted to try my luck. That day, Xiaohu and I went to the back hill of the academy to visit our teacher, but we were rejected for the first time. We met our teacher’s wife, but she refused to let us
I went to see my husband, let alone ask him for advice. Xiaohu and I went down the mountain in despair."
Yan Zheng solemnly stroked his beard and chuckled: "Aren't you going to leave in despair? Do you think we, the great scholar of our time, can meet everyone?"
Lin Jue said with a smile: "Yes, the student was very imaginative at that time. In the name of the teacher, I don't know how many young talents come to visit me on weekdays. I see them all. Isn't it very annoying?"
Fang Dunru suddenly said: "Hey, didn't you go there in vain? You insisted on leaving a gift, and it was my favorite Renhelou Golden Huadiao Wine. This is quite thoughtful."
Fang Huanqiu, who was sitting next to him, couldn't help but laugh out loud. He said in a low voice, "That's right. I'm afraid senior brother doesn't know that Mom took your wine and left it at home. Dad initially blamed Mom for accepting random gifts from others.
He said that he would find an opportunity to return it to you. But those jars of wine were placed in the corner every day. Dad would look at them a few times every day when eating. He also asked me: If they don’t come to take them back, why should I leave this wine every day?
Is it spoiled? Isn’t this a waste? Hehe, I’ve never heard of wine being spoiled.”
Yan Zhengsu laughed loudly when he heard this, pointed at Fang Dunru and said, "You can drink it if you want. Why did you say that wine will go bad? Why didn't you say that salt will go rancid?"
Fang Dunru also laughed and said: "Qiu'er, why are you telling daddy's embarrassing things? You girl."
Yan said solemnly: "Niece Huanqiu, don't be afraid. Uncle Yan is supporting you. What happened next? Did your father touch the wine?"
Fang Huanqiu pursed his lips and said with a smile: "Of course he moved. Seeing how uncomfortable it was for dad to hold it in, I helped him. I sealed the mouth of the jar with mud, and the smell of the wine became even stronger. Dad finally couldn't help it, and one night he opened
He opened the wine jar and drank freely. What he said: At worst, it’s just money to accompany others. If you don’t drink this wine for a long time, the smell of the wine will be dissipated, and it will be really wasted.”
Yan Zhengsheng laughed loudly and nodded: "It's true. Once the mud seal is removed, don't you have to drink it? Otherwise, the smell of the wine will really dissipate. You have done your father a big favor by doing this.
, he just took this excuse to drink."
Everyone burst into laughter. It was the first time that Lin Jue heard such an inside story. He had indeed brought two jars of golden Huadiao wine to apprentice with him that day, but he did not expect that there would be such an interesting part here.
"Then what happened next? It's not like he drank wine and became soft-spoken, so he had to accept Lin Jue as his student." Yan Zheng said with a smile.
Lin Jue smiled and said: "Is it so easy there? After being rejected for the first time, I planned to go again in a few days. Unfortunately, the weather was not beautiful, and it happened to be the hurricane season in Hangzhou. It was violent storms for seven or eight days in a row.
Yes, I couldn’t go out. After the storm passed, Xiaohu and I went to Songshan Academy again. But this time it was even more unfortunate. My husband and my wife were not at home, but we met my junior sister."
Lin Jue glanced at Fang Huanqiu, who happened to be looking over with twinkling eyes. Their eyes met, and they were immediately entangled and inseparable. Both of them remembered the first time they met. Lin Jue glanced at Fang Huanqiu.
I remember clearly how Fang Huanqiu looked that day, wearing a white shirt and a green skirt, with picturesque features, like a sudden gust of wind blowing from the mountains, cool, comfortable, and extremely fresh.
"Yes, senior brother came here sweating profusely that day. It was a very hot day. I said that I wanted to see dad, but I said that dad was not here and I was afraid he would not come back until the afternoon. He started working for our family without saying a word. Hurricane
After that, our small yard was in a mess, and many of the fences fell down. There was sewage everywhere. Senior brother first helped us build fences, and then helped dig ditches and tidy up the yard. But it was very busy." Fang Huanqiu said softly.
Fang Dunru smacked his lips and said, "Look, he's very scheming. Huadiao wine is what I like, and gardening and fencing is what your mother likes. Your mother likes people who help her with gardening work. This
After that, I was full of praise for Lin Jue."
Fang Huanqiu burst into laughter. Yan Zhengshen also laughed.
Fang Dunru looked at Lin Jue and said, "I've always been surprised. How did you know that your wife and I are so happy? How could you do what we want?"
Lin Jue thought to himself: That's because I was your student in the last life. How can I not know your preferences? But he said: "Just ask, it's not difficult."
"Are you asking? Not many people know that I like to drink Huadiao wine from Renhelou, and no one knows about your wife's hobby." Fang Dunru shook his head and said.
Lin Jue said with a smile: "The hard work pays off, you can always find out, it's not important. In fact, the students don't want to use these to suit their own interests, so that they can succeed as apprentices? The students just think this is the minimum etiquette.
Since you are going to visit your husband and your wife, how can you leave empty-handed? Since you can't leave empty-handed, you should naturally bring something that your husband likes. Isn't it okay to go to see other people and bring some gifts that they don't like? That's not the way to get along with each other.
As for tidying up the yard, it is something that can be done casually. Idle time is idle, and students are also tidy people, so it is just a matter of hands."
Yan Zheng chuckled solemnly and said, "That's right. Lin Jue is much better than the two old guys like us in this regard. We wouldn't have thought of this."
Fang Dunru nodded slightly and smiled. Lin Jue's explanation was quite reasonable.
"But, just two jars of wine will make you accept Lin Jue as your student? I'm afraid you don't agree with that." Yan Zheng smiled solemnly and said to Fang Dunru.
Fang Dunru said: "How can it be so easy? You know me. I have sworn not to accept students. If I can break my oath and accept disciples, there will naturally be other opportunities. I can only say that I was attracted by that article.
"Ai Lian Shuo" really moved me. I originally wanted to embarrass him and ask him to write a piece of writing that fit the occasion. Who knew that this "Ai Lian Shuo" moved me immediately. Oh, it is so well written.
.Write it into my heart."
When talking about this matter, Fang Dunru still couldn't restrain his excitement and his eyes were shining.
"I think that I, Fang Dunru, have had no children in my life and have only a few disciples. What happened to that rebel made me feel disheartened. Things in the court also made me very troubled. I was always depressed. I always felt that no one could understand me.
Mood. But those few words, "It comes out of the silt but not stained, washes the clear ripples without being demonic, the middle is straight and the outer is straight, not creeping or branching, the fragrance is clear from afar, the pavilions are clean and planted, you can look at it from a distance but don't play with it."
It touched my heart. Especially Lin Jue said that this Ailian poem was written to try to figure out my state of mind. It was actually written for me. I feel that this young man understands me. Although I vowed not to accept it,
I am a disciple, but this time I have to make an exception. I think Lin Jue will be able to pass on my spirit and inherit my mantle just like me. After my death, he can sort out my manuscripts and compile them for dissemination. I can also be regarded as
I will die with my eyes closed." Fang Dunru said slowly.
Lin Jue looked at Fang Dunru silently, remembering what happened at that time, and the assessment by the lotus pond in the back mountain. At that time, he had just experienced rebirth, and how eager he was to join his teacher. When his teacher accepted him, he
, the sense of belonging and happiness in my heart is indescribable. Just thinking of what happened at that time, I can't feel any displeasure with my husband at this moment. Because, at that time, it was my husband's family who gave me great courage and
Comfort. Those days are really nostalgic. Every time I went to the academy, my wife would cook some delicious dishes, and I would have a drink and talk with my husband. I benefited a lot. At that time, my relationship with Huanqiu was just beginning to sprout. Every time
A look into each other's eyes and an occasional hold of a little hand made me so happy that I felt like I was in heaven.
But I don't know since when, things have become worse and worse. There seems to be a grudge between me and my husband. Although I still love each other, there is a gap between me and Huanqiu, which is difficult to bridge. Every time I think about this, I always feel sad in my heart.
Depressed and unhappy.
"Sir... you must be very disappointed with the students now." Lin Jue said softly.
Fang Dunru looked at Lin Jue silently and said in a deep voice: "Lin Jue, sir, you are not disappointed. Perhaps that is more appropriate. You are just different from what I expected. Sir, I have always had confidence in you. I
I won't deny that in terms of poetry and articles, sir, I may not be as good as you. But what I want to teach you is not poetry and articles, but the principles of how to live in the world. What I want to teach you is to follow an upright and bright path and act in the interests of the country and the people.
Things. Poems and articles are a small way, and being upright and upright is the way. Being good at literature is good, but being a person and doing things are fundamental. This is also the truth that I have always wanted you to understand. "
Fang Dunru's words came from the bottom of his heart and revealed his true feelings. Lin Jue was extremely grateful. Indeed, in terms of being selfless and selfless, and in terms of the choice between public and private, he was far from being as noble as Fang Dunru. But this
It's not that Lin Jue can't do it, it's that Lin Jue doesn't want to do it at all. Because of their different experiences, the two of them will naturally make different choices.
Fang Dunru was born in the Zhou Dynasty and was influenced by Confucianism. Naturally, he put loyalty to the emperor and patriotism first, self-cultivation and self-restraint, and did not violate the principles of a gentleman in his heart. That's why he did many inhumane things. That was his fault.
Lin Jue is a person who has traveled through time. Although he was reborn and lived in the Zhou Dynasty for more than ten years, Lin Jue has no thoughts of loyalty to the emperor in his heart. He loves his family, his relatives and himself.
This is Lin Jue's goal in life. If anyone were Fang Dunru's student, he might do better than Lin Jue. It can only be said that the differences between the two are inevitable.
