Mrs. Xiang led a group of juniors out of the door. She did not leave immediately. Instead, she stood still and stayed for a while. She also heard the conversation about "Qu Ye".
She had to say that there was a grudge in her heart, but she couldn't think deeply about it. On the one hand, a person had passed away, and there was no point in further research. On the other hand, she knew better about Xiang Xu's other side. In his heart, , it turns out that there is such an everlasting regret. If Mrs. Xiang, like Qu Ye, loves him deeply, then she should know what he really thinks. What can she do in the future to make up for the shortcomings in his heart?
After thinking about this clearly, Madam Xiang moved again and led the group of bewildered children to the study room.
The servants quickly arranged two more tables for the two new guests.
"Today, we are honored to have the brothers and sisters of the merchants dance "A Good Woman" for us! Yiga, please ask Ji Yu to recite a poem on our behalf and send it as a gift. How about that as a greeting?" Xiang Xiao said Madam suggested.
"That's very good! My brothers and sisters are here to listen!" Shang You stood up and thanked him.
"Sir, please give me a question!" Ji Yu received the order, stood up and bowed to Mrs. Xiang.
"Today, you two became friends because of the chicken, came from the tree, and became friends because of the dance, so let's write a poem based on the theme of 'Chicken, Wood, and Dance', okay?" Little Mrs. Xiang took the Today’s story begins.
After hearing the topic, Ji Yu spread out the blank slips, and the servants prepared the pen and ink for him. He held the pen holder and pondered for a while, thinking for about one or two minutes, and then looked at the other children present. Everyone was thinking She looked at him expectantly, looking very excited. Suddenly her eyes lit up. She must have been inspired, so she picked up her pen and started writing:
"The crow of the cock is the forest of eating vegetables. I have guests, dancing and chanting. There is no sheng or reed, but my heart is like a general. People who are kind to me show me to pursue them. The crow of the cock is the best way to find friends. I When I have a guest, I wade through the roaring water. If I look at the water but do not jump, a single tree will be effective. I have a new friend, and the guest is a sign of a rooster. The crow of the rooster is a sign of new friendship. I have a guest, and they stay and stop. Yanyu holds hands and is happy. I have only one thing to say, with the heart of a happy guest."
After finishing it in one breath, Ji Yu unfolded the scroll and read it aloud while shaking his head.
"It's wonderful! It's wonderful!" As soon as Ji Yu's singing and reading voice settled on the word "heart", Shang You couldn't help but stand up, clasped his hands and praised, "Brother Ji is familiar with poems, and his quotes are wonderful. Every sentence answers the question, it’s truly wonderful!”
When Mrs. Xiang saw that her disciple could change "The Book of Songs, Xiaoya, Deer Crow" to "Cock Crow", and the change was quite good, she immediately felt that this child was quite a favor to her, and she felt a little proud, so she He ordered his servant to bring the gift box, and asked Ji Yu to solemnly roll up the song "Cockcrow", tie it with red silk thread, and send it to Shang You.
Shang You solemnly took it, put it gently on the table, then bowed deeply to the young lady Xiang, and said: "After hearing the wonderful poem, the students couldn't help but sigh. If you don't mind, I would like to add a poem to the fun. May I ask, madam, if you can forgive me?" Am I brave?"
"Of course I'm very lucky! I respectfully invite you, Mr. Shang, to come slowly!" Mrs. Xiang was obviously very happy when she saw that the son of a doctor had the urge to respond. In fact, she took the initiative to ask Ji Yu to write a poem as a gift, which was originally for Being able to "invite good ideas" and get a glimpse of the style of the family of Shang officials and virtuous people, Shang Wu's dance alone is still far from meeting expectations. Since Shang You attaches great importance to poetry and etiquette, he will naturally not "come but not go".
The servant quickly spread out a set of books in front of Mr. Shang and prepared them, just waiting for Mr. Shang to show off his skills.
"The chicken is flying in the west. My guest is ashamed to stop, and I also admire the beauty. There is no evil in that person, and there is no shame in this one. I have been beautiful for a few days, so that I will be famous forever. I shake the chicken in the courtyard, and follow him. I Guests come in recklessly, and welcome the etiquette and customs. The birds have words, and the people are also rich in words. I can look forward to the long night, so as to keep my ambition. The chicken is in the arms, and it is in his hall. My guest dances in response, and the flying feathers are fast, and Yin Qi is also the same. , Zhou Zhi will make mistakes. Elegance and diligence will be written by Yongwu."
When Shang You translated and uttered all the poems taken from "Ode", Mrs. Xiang was shocked. Who said that "young people don't know what it is like to be sad"? From this poem, I clearly saw Dr. Shang Rong. The deep pain of facing the Zhou Dynasty's destruction of Shang has penetrated into the hearts of the next generation, so that at a young age, they can write poems like this, which deeply understand the impermanence of the world.
When two young men of similar age responded to each other and wrote extremely good poems, Cong'er felt itchy. He also wanted to come, really wanted to get involved. In such an interesting "poetry competition", as a senior classical poetry lover, he should not keep a low profile at this time, otherwise he would be sorry for his "jumping in". What knowledge! Thinking of this, Cong'er's hands couldn't help but couldn't help. A few fingers grabbed the edge of the table and dug hard back and forth on the sides.
His little movement was caught by Little Madam Xiang, so she smiled at him thoughtfully and said: "My dear, Zhong also wants to learn a thing or two from the two brothers, and also thinks about improvisation and poetry." One song?"
Mrs. Xiang has great confidence in Cong'er, and at this time, she also hopes to let these three young men (including a precocious young man) compete with each other in terms of literary talent.
Cong'er patted the table and signaled the servant to bring the bamboo slips with pen and ink. After thinking for a moment, he started writing:
"At the beginning of ancient times, who preached it? The upper and lower parts have not been formed, how can we examine them? Overturning the boat and searching for it, how can we get it? We will fight for alliances in the dynasty, how can we practice our period. The birds are flying in a flock, who can gather them. Attack Zhou in a row. Bow, Uncle Dan is not good. How can I express my gratitude to Zhou Zhi for advice? Grant the Yin world, and his position will be safe. If he succeeds, he will perish, what is his crime? How can he do it when he fights for the weapons of attack? King Mu cleverly Mei, what is Zhou Liu? What is the reason for being depressed when Wu Fa kills Yin? Why is there a need to carry corpses and gather them to fight? A startled girl picks weeds, why is the deer there to help you. Thunder and lightning at dusk, why do you need to worry about returning? If Jue is not strict, what does the emperor ask for? .What can I say if I change my mind and change it."
Cong'er knew in his heart that he secretly excerpted and silently wrote Qu Yuan's "Heavenly Questions" hundreds of years later, as a response to these two poems, just because it contained all the things that happened to these young people in the world, and he felt that , the style of this poem matches very well. The key is that they don’t know that hundreds of years later, a man named “Qu Yuan” will be the real author of this poem, so they secretly feel happy in their hearts.
After writing it, Ji Yu read it out for him. His diction was exquisite, with a rapid-fire series of "who" and "who", which seemed to be asking questions and narrating facts. The sentence structure was rhetorical. , strengthened the mood, and made Shang You feel like the two of them were just "light and gentle" and flattering each other, to a feeling that was so painful that it stirred his heart.
"I never thought that except for my father's disciple Dan, there are people in the world who are just like him. At such a young age, he seems to have entered the realm of 'nothing to teach'!" Shang You was shocked after hearing this and couldn't help but sigh!
