Chapter 18 General Bai
When the elegant gathering was about to disperse, Wei Xie's painting was completed. After watching it, everyone had to praise the "Autumn Willows Reflecting on the Pond". Every stroke was wonderful. The most important thing was the swallow who leaned over to the surface of the pond, but he was shocked to fly, causing the water of the pond to rise everywhere. The shape and charm were so amazing that it was difficult to express it. The teacher of Cao Buxing deserved it.
At this time, Wei Xie remembered to return the brush to Guo Pu, but he searched everywhere but couldn't see it. Everyone laughed, saying that Wei's son was crazy and terrible. He put his pen down, touched his head, and looked at Mrs. Wei. Seeing Mrs. Wei nodding slowly, his face was full of energy, as if he had received the greatest reward. He glanced at Yu Liang, and stood up without saying anything. Wei's family had the temperament of Wei.
Yu Liang is even more embarrassed!
When you go up the mountain, the fog hides the sun and the clouds are steaming; when you go down the mountain, you fall to the west at dusk, and the green and red mountains are falling. Even if you breathe, you will be at a loss; if you can take it with the wind, you will return with all your fun.
The mountain road was narrow, with scattered figures, and their robe sleeves were waving lightly. This time, the Xinting gathered, and everyone who followed them gained something. Wang Dao was able to calm down and cheer up. In the future, he used the power of the Northern Family to promote the Eastern Jin Dynasty; laying a solid foundation for the final "king and horse sharing the world". The Northern Family also benefited. He Xun served as the Director of the Die and allowed several Northern Family to register on the spot. Wang Dao even said that he would advise Sima Rui, and from the Qingjun of the major families, the remote talent entered the civic.
Liu Nong gained something. Wang Dao went to Xinting with the heads of each clan and agreed to call him a lower-ranking scholar. This is one, and the other is his reputation. I think it will spread all over Jiangzuo soon, and the pearl couplet will shine brightly. The third is to promote the Liu family's bamboo and leaves. The effect is known by the Qingjun of those aristocratic families; the fourth is to find a basis for what they do in the future. In the end, we must cultivate the whole country and govern the peace so that we can not be in vain.
well!
After a busy month, many successes were achieved in one go. Secondary gentry could obtain 50 hectares of official land and 50 households in the late Western Jin Dynasty. This was not very good at the end of the Western Jin Dynasty, because at this time, the northern families had not yet begun to enclose land, and Jiangdong was still vast, and Sima Rui used this to win people's hearts. If he were a few decades later, the land and households would gradually decrease. With these foundations, it would be a long time to build a manor by himself.
He Xun was old and could not compete with young people for strength. He was supported by his children in his family and moved down the mountain step by step. He just trembled and steadily stepped on the solid soil at the foot of the mountain, and his face turned faintly purple.
"Host!"
A voice came from beside him, and someone bowed and said, "Yu Liang, I have seen Mr. He!"
He Xunshun breathed a few breaths and saw that it was the son of General Jianwei Yu Chen. General Jianwei who crossed the river was just a short-selling number. He couldn't do it, but it was not easy to be too lazy. He laughed and said, "Yuan Rules are so handsome. What should I do to call me?"
"Honor He, Yu Liang has something to bothered with..."
Later, He Xun and his nephew left, and Yu Liang stood alone under the tree, with a fierce look on his face and cursed in a low voice: "Huating, what's the best there except a few mixed cranes? How could this kid choose to make a record there? It's a bit too long to reach..."
After thinking carefully, he looked at it, laughed a few times, and left with his white hair.
Just after he stepped onto the ox cart and left, Guo Pu turned out from the deep forest of the mountain road. There was a smile hidden in the corner of his mouth, and he brushed the flare in his hand towards the hem of his robe. The wooden clogs stepped out of the grass, held the bluestone, and walked quickly.
...
On the shaft of the ox cart, Lai Fu was muttering, while Liu Shu was whispering to describe the story of Ya Ji, which was very interesting, and sometimes shocked and sometimes anxious. Lai Fu was shocked and anxious, and was very dissatisfied, saying that it would be his turn and Xiao Langjun to let Liu Shu guard the ox cart and then tell the story.
Liu Nong leaned in front of the window, pretending to sleep. Listening to their deliberate laughter, his heart was happy. His fingertips touched something, and it was soft and slippery when pinching it in the palm of his hand. This was something Xi Jian gave him again. It was said that it was a sachet embroidered by the seven-year-old loli.
The sac is made of the best Luoyang silk, embroidered with a bunch of roses, and there are unknown herbs. Although the hook needle is tender and astringent, it is dense and thin. Obviously, the little loli is very attentive. In his mind, a picture appears involuntarily: a little girl wearing brocade lucidum leans against the small window, wrinkles her nose, ticking one stitch after another, and there is fine sweat on her smooth forehead...
As the ox cart swayed slowly, the body suddenly stopped.
Liu Xun said happily outside the curtain: "Little Langjun, Xiaolangjun Wang is here!"
"oh!"
Liu Nong came back to his senses, put the sachet in his arms, and got off the ox cart. From a distance, there were ox carts parked in front of him, including Wei, Wang, and Xi Jian...
Wang Xizhi was walking towards him, and his green robe slowly spread out with his steps. In his arms, he was holding a big white goose, croaking and screaming. Liu Nong was stunned and sweated a lot in an instant. It was said that Wang Xizhi loved goose since he was a child. The word "zhi" in the preface to Lanting Collection was different when he repeated it, which was the various expressions of the white goose duck in the pool.
Could it be that he wants to give me this goose? I will give it to me. What should I do if the Lanting Collection Preface is in the future? Will I raise another one?
Sure enough, Wang Xizhi held the goose and walked to him, handed the goose over and said with a smile: "I'll give it to you. It's called General Bai, which is my favorite thing. It likes to eat green grass and needs to feed it with thin dew and tender grass every day."
Liu Nong held the white goose, and the goose screamed and wanted to peck at his nose. He rolled his eyes and said to himself: "You idiot, this goose obviously likes to eat meat, but you just say it likes to eat vegetarian food!"
Wang Xizhi was a little embarrassed, touched his nose and smiled, "General Bai, he has a bad temper..."
Liu Xun held back his laughter and stepped forward to help the young man. He carried General Bai with a bad temper into a ox cart and put it in. Seeing the white goose's aura, Lai Fu reached out to touch it. General Bai held it in one mouthful, which was so shocked that he almost screamed. He waved his fingers, General Bai refused to let go, and the two of them went back and forth and started a game.
The scene was even more awkward. Wang Xizhi's lying eyebrows jumped, jumped.
Liu Nong looked at Wang Xizhi with a flushed face, shook his robe wrinkled by the goose, pointed at the goose, and smiled and said, "You have something to give me, but I have nothing to give back..."
Wang Xizhi smiled and said, "When you have it in the future, you can give it to me."
Liu Nong paused slightly, smiled, and said softly: "Wang Xiaolangjun is extraordinary, and the goose he raises is also very arrogant. Otherwise, I will give you a sentence first: the green shirt and jade crown are thrown with wine, and the white generals and black horses are hiding across the harem; when he was young, he was not hung with a seal, and a blood knife is often hung on his waist!"
Hearing this sentence, Wang Xizhi's eyes lit up and he murmured with it: "I haven't hung the seal of the marquis at a young age, and I often have a bloody knife hanging around my waist! It seems that you are determined to be here. Let's leave here and wait for you to meet again in the future."
After saying that, he turned around and waved his robe and left. He turned around halfway through and said with a crisp voice: "It is a vegetarian..."
The ox carts rose again and entered Jianye City with the vast convoy. After the people from various aristocratic families said goodbye to Wang Dao, they hid in the deep alleys like waves.
Zhu Tao waited for him at the gate of the city, looked him carefully, held hands and smiled, "Hutou, I will go west, even if I am in Goma. Things are dangerous and obstructed, but my will will never change. Well, your ambition is higher than mine, and you must be more strict, otherwise how can you be a marquis and a knife? I hope that one day, the royal family in the north will be restored, and you and I can drink in the mountains again."
Liu Nong remained silent for a while, Jiangdong shouted for the Northern Expedition. In the past ten years, except for Sima Rui's campaign for power, he mostly acted as a model and never went deep into the Central Plains. Zhu Tao's lifelong life, although there were many wars, there were very few crossing the river. He either suppressed bandits or fought against Wang Dun, how could he show his ambition? Wei Shishu was right, looking north at this time was too early. First, the Hu people were not in chaos; second, the Jiangdong was not peaceful; third, there were many families, so it was not easy to go north.
Seeing him frowning, Zhu Tao called out, "Tiger head..."
Liu Nong breathed a sigh of relief and bowed: "Mr., when will you leave?"
Zhu Tao said: "I have to go there for more than ten days, but I have to go home to visit my parents and I will leave Jianye tomorrow."
Liu Nong suppressed the gods and said in a deep voice: "Mr. It's difficult to walk on the road, so take care of it!"
Upon hearing this, Zhu Tao looked at him deeply, laughed loudly, and walked away with his robe; but the loud voice kept floating along the base of the city wall: "The road is difficult, the tiger's head, everyone should be the most important!"
Liu Nong chased his figure and his eyes gradually became wet. Who said that the sons in Jin Dynasty only knew how to chant the wind and chant the moon? Who said that the famous scholars in Jin Dynasty only knew how to sing and were confused?
Haven’t you heard that when you are drunk, you want to write a poem that is about to become a poem, but when you wake up, you draw your sword and your energy is vast!
Mrs. Wei carried a green silk embroidered curtain, her slender eyebrows and eyes rolled back and forth on their bodies. Until Zhu Tao disappeared, she put down the curtain and whispered: "Let's go, go home!"
The bull whistled up, she thought for a while, and said, "Call it, that little idiot!"
The maid smiled with her lips pursed and woke Liu Nong up.
Several ox carts drove towards Wei's mansion, and Wei Jie was still in his dream. Liu Nong waited in the corridor for half an hour before Wei Jie woke up slowly. Hearing that Liu Nong was successfully injected into a scholarship, his pale face was full of smiles, and he gently reminded Liu Nong to turn it over and sleep again. Uncle Wei Shishi, there was not much time left!
After walking through the mansion, the maid called again, followed by Jianfu, who held a heavy bag of gold in his hand. Liu Nong said goodbye without giving it back.
Mrs. Wei stood on the steps and murmured: "Well, I have some backbone! Tiger heads, three tiger heads. Well, Wei Tong..."
Yu Tu, Hutou, Ahu; Wang Xizhi, Liu Nong, Wei Jie.
The ox cart flew out of Jianye City, chased the setting sun, and went straight west. Liu Xu raised the bull whip lightly and fast, and could hear the sound of the cow's hooves stepping on the stone along the way, like a cheerful song.
Oh, no, there is really a song.
Holding the curtain and watching, a group of little kids were playing grass fighting by the field, singing while playing: "Cover my boat, it is so sad; robbing my millet, and embracing the beams; the water of the Luo River is clear, dyeing clothes; blood is soaring, soul is so sad; a horse comes, crossing the river; turning into a dragon, returning to the border..."
Five horses cross the river, and one horse turns into a dragon!
I heard the nursery rhyme, just like the red sun sagging, falling all over the ground. Liu Nong frowned, Director Wang was really anxious, and it would be five years before this genius would change...
Close the curtain, lean against the wall, rub your eyebrows, and spread your heart to the distance, and make the chaotic thoughts one by one. It is not far away, but you need to take steps into the city!
Don’t be too hasty, and don’t forget it, and be prepared for danger in times of peace.
Lai Fu shouted: "Little man, someone is blocking the way to visit!"
Who will it be?
Liu Nong guessed first, then shook his head, absurd, and looked at the curtain, and was stunned. It was not absurd, but it was not absurd, and the person he came was the one he guessed in his heart, Guo Pu, Guo Jingchun!
On the curved path in the forest, there were people with plain robes and tall crowns, with the horns swaying in the wind, leaning against the green forest, with the sunset on their backs. This man in his thirty-year-old beat the harp and bowed, saying, "Guo Jingchun, here, I have been waiting for the young man for a long time!"
Liu Nong resisted his browsing, and helped him, stepped on the small wooden stool and got off the ox cart, straightened his clothes and bowed straightly, saying, "How dare you be the one who is Guo Zongjun, you are worthy of being a boy!"
At this time, the wind was coming, and the corners of the two of them were lifted up, which was very cold.
Liu said that Li Kui's wife Yu had a good soup and wanted to take Lai Fu to the stream to fish. Lai Fu held General Bai. Although he was unwilling, he knew that he should leave at this time. Before leaving, he whispered through the curtain: "Little man, if you have something to do, you can shout!"
"Yeah, I understand!"
Liu Nong's mouth was light, and he looked at Guo Pu in the car with a slight politeness, and said with a smile: "Lai Fu's heart is red. If you are rude, don't blame me for joining the army!"
"I see the two servants of the little husband, one is smart and wise, and the other is sincere and loyal. Such good servants are rare!" Guo Pu knelt opposite him. Although the carriage was not small, they were already full of them. No wonder Lai Fu wanted to take General Bai away.
Liu Nong retreated slightly, leaned against the wall of the car, and left some distance free, and said with a smile: "I'm so proud of joining the army. I don't know what advice can I give to joining the army? I'll listen carefully."
Guo Pu said: "Can you not know?"
Liu Nong said: "I don't know!"
Guo Pu pressed his knees, his body slightly raised from softness, his cheeks wrinkled bit by bit, and the corners of his mouth bent, and his voice was very fluttering: "Someone wants to plot against the little man, but I don't know?"
Liu Nong stroked his left hand lightly with his right hand, secretly breathed a sigh of relief, and said slowly: "Thank you for joining the army, you are young and weak. If someone intends to plot against me, you can only avoid it. There will be no right or wrong all day long, but if you don't listen, you will naturally not be able to do so."
"oh!"
Guo Pu gently tugged his fingertips and smiled and said, "It's right and wrong, and it's still wrong to not listen. If you can avoid it, you won't make plans. If the young man insists on doing this, Guo Jingchun will be gone!"
As he said that, he wanted to get up.
"Why did you come from joining the army?"
Liu Nong was as straight as a pen, with his eyes narrowed and his tip straight towards Guo Pu. He didn't know how much detail he had calculated; but there was one thing he knew, Guo Pu must have a plan! What did he mean by me? I had nothing...
Guo Pu's body slightly softened, then knelt down again, facing his gaze, and said, "The white fish is a dragon, stirring the water out, and when the wind blows..."
You cannot dodge, you cannot hide. You can look directly at each other, and there are sharp edges entangled. Liu Nong's heart beats like a drum, and he said intimidatingly: It's impossible, it's all nonsense. This is just the so-called martial arts. It's a shock to the door, and you can't believe it.
After a long time, Liu Nong raised his hand and bowed, "Liu Nong is not clear about the words of joining the army, nor does he think about it. However, the boy asked..."
Guo Pu also closed his eyes and said seriously: "Young man, please say it."
Liu Nong smiled and said, "I dare to ask how the difference is there in joining the army, Buddhism and Taoism?"
Guo Pu was slightly stunned, but he didn't expect that he would discuss the Buddha's Tao with him and replied: "The cause and effect of the Buddha's life is to follow it. The Tao's life is to be mysterious, and the wisdom is to be changed!"
Liu Nong said again: "The Taoist mission is clear and changed, how to change it?"
Guo Pu said: "The fate of Tao is unknown, how to change it!"
Liu Nong pinched Lan Yu on his waist and looked at the charlatan that would die under Wang Dun's knife, his heart was pounding. Such a person, before he had no ability in this era, could only stay away from him and could not offend him. After careful consideration, he asked lightly: "Have you ever divined for yourself by joining the army?"
Guo Pu's eyes shrank rapidly, and all the light was shining. It was gathered in the eyes and swayed like a needle, leaving only a little left. Liu Nong was so painful that he was stabbed by the needle. He leaned forward with the wall of the car, and felt a little shock and inexplicable excitement.
After a while, Guo Pu said, "I am changing my destiny, or maybe I am obeying my destiny."
...
After a stick of incense, Guo Pu got out of the car, waved his wide robe and sleeves, and stepped on the small path in the forest, hiding into the vast fog. Liu Xun and Lai Fu carried a few fish and came out of the stream.
Lai Fu carried a big fish that was as long as a ruler and laughed loudly: "Little Langjun, let Aunt Yu make soup tonight!"
Liu Nong narrowed his eyes and said, "I won't eat fish tonight!"
Chapter completed!
