Compared with Xiangfu, Laofu seems a bit shabby. After all, Xiangxu is an important minister of the country, and Li Dan's mother lives in Chen State. In terms of status, she is just a commoner remnant who lives under the influence of another country's famous general.
However, in Xiang Zhong's eyes, it doesn't matter whether the house is luxuriously decorated or not. What he values is the handsome young man who is really right in front of him: According to rumors, he has "extraordinary appearance, a big head, a thin body, and eyebrows." The ears are broad and the bridge of the nose is like a pair of ruts." Nowadays, the real person does not look like this!
He is about 1.8 meters tall. According to the head-to-body ratio of ordinary people who "stand seven, sit five, sit in lotus position, and sit three and a half", his head is a bit too big, and it seems to be six heads and a half; his waist is really thin, as thin as The word "handsome" should not be used on men, and it is not an exaggeration to describe him. His fair skin, two eyebrows, and almost all the initial impression of "handsomeness" are all due to these two angles. He is so handsome. The thick black eyebrows are raised! The distance between the eyebrows seems to be a little too wide. It can be seen that when he was still in the womb, when the cells came together for the last time to form the face, he was a little lazy and stopped growing before they were in place. The bridge of his nose is not a tall mountain root, to be sure. To put it bluntly, even if it is the "flat nose" of the Mongol race, it would be far-fetched to say that it is two ruts. In fact, it is just a little lower, and you can't tell that there are two ruts! How can there be so many strange extra lines on young people’s faces? Fortunately, the second half of the bridge of the nose is quite impressive. There is a cute cartoon "ski jump"-like rise, and the wings of the nose are slightly larger. Together with the expression of thinking, it is very rhythmic, making the rhythm of breathing visible to the naked eye. When he smiles, his nostrils are slightly exposed - in fact, from Xiang Zhong's perspective, all of his nostrils can be seen, which adds to the comic relief.
That's right, this little brother is really "extraordinary"! The overall score is not high for appearance, but the various parts are cleverly matched. Although each part of the facial features is taken apart individually, there is some conflict, but when they are all put on one face, there is irrefutable harmony.
Among the facial features, what attracts Xiang Zhong's attention the most is the pair of auspicious phoenix eyes rarely seen on men's faces under the eye sockets that are not deep. They are lowered and slightly blinking, and the cute arc is actually the same as the hand-drawing that children are best at. The two curved lines are in perfect harmony. What was revealed in his eyes was incomparable confidence and innocence. It seemed that it didn't matter whether he was eighteen years old or not. In his eyes, he was full of truth and people who understood the truth earlier than him, no matter whether he was an old man or not. , still a three-year-old naughty boy.
For this reason, his eyes fell on Xiang Zhong's face, and he looked like he had been "admired for a long time" and eager to meet. It seemed that the advertisement of Shang You brother and sister was done well. The look on his face was similar to that of Xiang Zhong, both of which were comparing him with the appearance of the other person in his preconceived imagination.
As soon as their eyes met, there seemed to be some telepathy. Although neither of them spoke, they had exchanged greetings several times in their eyes.
"Oh I see!"
After understanding these looks, Xiang Zhong was very interested and couldn't help but nodded to Brother Dan. It was a language that an expert could understand instantly: "I'm ready, I'm coming!"
Formal banquets are always indispensable with delicious food.
In front of Xiang Zhong's co-defendant, his brother Datou Dan prepared a special gift for him: a plate of oranges.
At the Mid-Autumn Festival banquet, seasonal oranges will naturally not be absent.
But on Xiang Zhong's plate, there were not only fresh, complete oranges; there were also a few orange seeds; a few orange peels with various strange shapes that had been torn and torn; and some that had been dried. This kind of special-shaped orange peel has become a variety of special-shaped ones, which are not only dry, but also hard and brittle in texture; and the last plate is made of these dried orange peels that have been mashed and crushed, and are all powdered orange peels. Powder.
Brother Dan first asked Xiang Zhong: "I heard that Mr. Xiang has a view similar to mine. Now I have a special question to ask for advice. Here is a tangerine, from young seeds to powder, all presented in front of me. It was originally a particle. The combination changes in many ways? Dare I ask why?"
Xiang Zhong looked at it and thought: "A complete orange, grown from the seed, is originally round and juicy; after some tearing and drying, the orange peel turns into various special shapes, which can be strips or pieces. However, due to various bends and deformations, it can touch places that were previously inaccessible. As time goes by and the water evaporates, the texture becomes dry, hard and brittle; after another round of rolling, it turns into powder. The form at this time can enter all realms, follow all forms, and become all things. It doesn't even need form, and it also abandons the concept of "soft and hard" - without water, it loses its form, so the answer is "water" Shape all shapes'."
So, Xiang Zhong picked up the water cup on the table, poured the water on the table, then dipped his finger in the water and wrote the word "water" in large seal script.
Then, he took out the "Qi Tun" he carried with him from his pocket and started his "background sound":
"1——2——3——4——5——6——"
I blew it from low to high, and then back to 1
"6——5——4——3——2——1——"
Xiang Zhong deliberately played only pure scales, not any piece of music, just to show Brother Tan the common sense of the "Tao" family: "The great way is simple, water moistens all things without fighting, but it becomes all things."
Li Dan blinked slightly and laughed, because the answer in his heart coincided with Xiang Zhong's answer.
"Congratulations to the young master! It's the same as what I think. You are really lucky for three lifetimes!"
Of course, Xiang Zhong was very happy to be recognized by Brother Dan, but after all, he was me, and he liked to "carry out the spirit of scientific research to the end."
I saw him asking his servant for his favorite musical instrument, the bamboo pole, and motioned to Xiang Zhong to play his earthen xun again, and he would play the chord with the bamboo pole.
Xiang Zhong understood this meaning, and played the simple four-four-beat scale etude again, pure rising and pure falling, while Li Dan closed his eyes and pursed his lips, just after Xiang Zhong's "qi swallow" had just been vomited out, dragging out the aftertaste At the end of the tune, a chord with a high third of the bamboo sound that is in harmony with the tune is added. The superposition of the two timbres and the resonance of the two tones are endlessly memorable, especially the tune matched by Li Dan, which is like blowing with the mouth. , seems to have no melody, but in the monotony, it makes waves, like a day's journey, rising weakly above the horizon, then gradually rising, like the sun is at the top of the sky, then gradually warms, gradually weakens, and before it ends, there is another The most brilliant and gentle illumination.
The duo's ensemble, which had not been rehearsed in advance, was just for the first time, was so harmonious and beautiful that everyone in the hall was surprised and envious.
When the song ended, the lingering sound lingered, and the swallows in the living room of the Li Mansion seemed to be fascinated by it. A few of them flew back from outside, and joined in the applause with their "chirping" sounds. .
