The days pass by, and the summer solstice comes in the blink of an eye.
Li Ye, who was holding half a bowl of water, was no longer wet. Pedestrians on the road were not surprised and no longer laughed at Li Ye. They just regarded this scene as scenery.
In the afternoon of that day, Li Ye came to the front of the hall with a book in his hands and asked: "Sir, why are there many poems and books in your study that are not collected in the academy?" After speaking, he pointed to the open book. On one page, he said: "Just like this sentence: If you live high in a temple, you worry about its people; if you live far away from the rivers and lakes, you worry about your king. What does it mean?"
The gentleman was half-lying on the bamboo chair in front of the hall to rest. After listening to Li Ye's words, he thought for a long time how to answer.
After a while, the gentleman said: "I'm a little tired. Let's boil some water to make tea."
Li Ye called Agui to fetch water, then added charcoal to the stove to boil water for tea. As usual, he lit a pot first to wake up his husband.
Adding water, boiling water, warming the pot, washing cups, washing tea, tea was served to the husband in a short time.
In the afternoon, the fragrance of tea spreads.
The gentleman stroked the teacup, took a sip, looked at Li Ye, and said, "This book is not from Dongxuan Domain. Of course you have never seen it."
"Is that from the Xixuan Territory?" Li Ye asked, picking up the teacup himself.
The gentleman did not answer Li Ye's question, but closed his eyes slightly and said, "Do you know the distribution of our open territory?"
"We are in the Dongxuan Territory, as well as the Nanxuan, Xixuan, Beixuan, and Zhongxuan Territories. The Middle Territory is what people call the Imperial City. There is another world above us. One day you will cultivate. When it arrives, it will break through the realm and soar to where it is, which is what the world calls the Immortal Realm.”
"And these poems and books of mine do not come from other realms, but from another planet parallel to ours. Some people call it the Aqua Blue Planet... The articles in these books should be enough for you to read carefully. ."
"If you live high in a temple, you worry about the people; if you live far away from the rivers and lakes, you worry about the king. The general idea is that when you are a king in the court, you do not harm the people; when you are in the rivers and lakes, you do not bully the king. This is so difficult, it is what the saints do."
Li Yexin said that it turned out to be a civilization from another starry sky, no wonder he hadn't seen it before. I added some tea to my husband and said, "This sentence of not being happy with things and not being sad with yourself seems to be similar to my practice of self-image."
The gentleman nodded in approval.
The gentleman took a sip of tea and said with a smile: "You are familiar with these poems and books. In our five domains, it can be said that you are unprecedented and a newcomer."
"You don't understand some of the truths in the book now. That's because you are still young and have not experienced the troubles of the world. This does not affect your study. You should read and memorize as much as you can now. As you grow up day by day, one day you will You’ll understand.”
Li Ye's little head nodded.
Before leaving the hall, he asked Agui to get an alms bowl and fill it with water. After these days of hard training, Li Ye can now hold three bowls skillfully, and his walking is smooth and he no longer staggers around.
With water on his head and a book of poems in his hand, little Li Ye walked through his teacher's purple bamboo forest, and the sound of reading came from afar: "Young people don't know the feeling of sadness, so they fall in love with upstairs. Falling in love with upstairs, for The new poems in the poem forcefully talk about sadness. Now that I know all the feeling of sadness, I want to say it but I still want to stop. I want to say it but I still want to stop, but I say it’s a cool autumn!”
Although the voice is childish, it is penetrating.
Walking through the bamboo forest and floating to the front of the hall, the gentleman drinking tea gently clapped his hands and nodded his head, as if he had returned to his youth, and he couldn't help but be crazy for a moment.
After passing through the purple bamboo forest, we wandered to the road outside the courtyard wall. The passers-by heard this and praised him: The little talent led by Mr. is really full of literary talent, it is no exaggeration.
Agui didn't understand, but he was also happy and thought to himself: "The young master is truly a versatile man in both civil and military affairs!"
On this day, Li Ye did not return to the academy and said to Agui: "Go back and tell my parents that I have been living with my husband these days and I have to finish reading these poems and books."
Agui nodded quickly and said yes.
The gentleman was so excited that he called Li Ye over, took the harp and burned incense, and wanted to compose a tune for this poem.
After hearing this, Li Ye called Agui and went back to the hall to fetch water for his husband to wash his hands, while he went to the piano room to move the piano.
After the piano was placed and the incense was burned, the gentleman sat in front of the piano, meditating and composing music.
Li Ye and Agui also sat quietly in front of their husband, wanting to listen to his music played on the piano.
The teacher picked up a tune, gently strummed the strings, and started playing. After playing the string three times, the teacher called Li Ye to stand up and said, "You can sing along with my music and give it a try."
When Li Ye heard this, he stood up excitedly and stood next to his husband, waiting for him to start the tune.
Then, the piano played and the children sang.
Young people don’t know what it’s like to be sad
Fall in love with the upper floors. Fall in love with upstairs
To compose new words and express sorrow
Now I know all the sorrow
If you want to say it, give it up. Stop talking
But it’s a cool autumn!
In the summer afternoon, there are cicadas humming, and together with the sound of the teacher's piano and Li Ye's children's voice, they form the sound of nature...
The melodious music of the piano and singing intoxicated the purple bamboos in the courtyard, and the pedestrians passing by outside the courtyard.
Time stops at this moment, and heaven and man become one.
From that night on, Li Ye never returned to the academy. He stayed in his husband's study all day, immersed in the ocean of poetry and words. In the sea of poems, I got to know Li Bai who was drunk and played a concubine and was demoted, Yi An who drank, gambled and divorced his husband, Mr. Jiaxuan Xin who wielded a sword and his hair was disheveled, Su Dongpo who lived and died for ten years and was exiled thousands of miles... .
I seem to have seen the empress of the Southern Tang Dynasty who took pictures all over the railings.
Twelve gold medals could not be recovered, and Yue Pengju was furious
Du Shaoling whose thatched hut was broken by the autumn wind
Bai Juyi in the Palace of Eternal Life on July 7th...
In the ocean of poetry and words, there is no day or night.
Agui delivered three meals a day to Li Ye in the study.
For a whole month, Li Ye was obsessed with his husband's books, as if Li Twelve from back then was back.
The husband didn't care about Li Ye, he just boiled water to make tea, watered the flowers, and planted the land.
In the words of Mr.
I looked down upon a bowl of tea
Look at the crescent moon
...
This month, Li Ye has not appeared in the outside world, but his shadow is there in the outside world.
The business with the best business in Fengyun City must be the Hongxiu Building on East Street.
The pillars of the four-story Hongxiu Tower are made of marble taken from the Fengyun Mountains, which is hard yet gorgeous. The beams in the hall are made of golden nanmu pulled from the West Xuan Territory.
In the words of Li Hongxiu: Wine is the mellowest and strongest, and girls are the most beautiful. The terrible thing is that the cost here is also the most expensive in the city.
There is never a shortage of guests at Hongxiu Tower, and there is singing and dancing every day. It is the uncle who spends the money. With a wave of his hand, silver and gold coins are spent. The girl in the building is stroking and singing, holding the silver in her little hands, and her heart is also spent.
The common people in Fengyun City pay for their daily groceries in copper coins minted by the Imperial City of Zhongxuan Region.
The girls in Fengyun City went to Jinbaotang to buy rouge and gouache, and they spent common silver coins.
The cheerful old man in Hongxiu Tower spends gold coins.
The only thing that dissatisfied the talented man was that the girls in Hongxiu Tower were prostitutes rather than prostitutes. In the words of the host Li Hongxiu, there is no shortage of money, you can come or not if you like.
You can spend money to listen to music, drink wine, compose poems, and make friends through literature. If you tease the girls in the building, you will be fined a few hundred gold coins at the least, or the owner of the building will break your bones and throw them out of the building.
There was once a gangster in the city who did not believe in evil, so he was beaten severely by Li Hongxiu and hung on the stone bridge of Liuhe River in public. Terrified.
The summer sun was shining brightly, and Li Hongxiu was leaning against the railing upstairs, squinting her eyes and wandering in thought.
Xiaohua, the girl in the building, came up, brought a pot of herbal tea, and poured it for Li Hongxiu.
He stretched out his hand to hold the cup and was about to take a sip when a loud noise came from the private room in the building.
She frowned slightly and waved her hand: "Go and see who is making noise inside."
Xiaohong quickly turned around and went into the building to take a look.
After a while, Xiaohong came back with a plate of ice-soaked watermelon. Putting it on the table, he replied: "The poster is the master of Tang Youyu Pavilion of the medicine pavilion in the city. He is hosting a banquet for his medicine merchants."
"Just treat, why are you so noisy!" Li Hongxiu thought to herself, I was taking a nap just to relax.
"Owner, I heard from Pavilion Master Tang that Li Ye was writing lyrics again. When he passed by Zizhuyuan a few days ago, he heard playing and singing inside."
Li Hongxiu was stunned and replied: "Li Ye sang again?"
Xiaohua smiled and said, "There seems to be a saying: Young people don't know what it's like to be sad."
"Young man doesn't know what it's like to be sad?"
The sleepy Li Hongxiu suddenly became energetic, picked up a piece of watermelon, and said: "This kid, the sentence he wrote last time in the city lord's mansion was amazing."
"That's right, everyone is talking about Li Ye's music. It would be great if you could hear it in our building. No, I'm quarreling with you. I gave you a watermelon to apologize."
Li Hongxiu stretched out and said, "We have to think of a way to call Li Ye."
As he was talking, the sound of carriages and horses came from downstairs. Li Hongxiu lowered his head and saw a small head sticking out of a black carriage downstairs. When he saw Li Hongxiu, he opened his mouth and called: "Auntie, I am coming."
I felt happy, my sister came to Fengyun City with her daughter. As soon as she put on her skirt, she went downstairs to greet her like a storm.
When I got downstairs, I saw my sister Li Mingzhu getting out of the car on the horse that the driver had prepared, and turned around to hug her daughter Dongfang Yu'er.
Li Hongxiu was so happy that she quickly stepped forward to welcome her, hugged her, and extended her hand to Dongfang Yu'er with a friendly smile to hug the little girl.
Dongfang Yu'er, who was only wearing a light skirt and a small ponytail, jumped up, hugged Li Hongxiu, and shouted: "Auntie, you don't like Yu'er anymore, so you don't even come to see me."
Li Hongxiu hugged her, pinched her rosy little face, and said, "There are many rules in your home, and my aunt doesn't want to go. No, it's the same if you don't look at her."
The girls in the building gathered around and helped carry the luggage into the building. Li Mingzhu told the coachman to go to the city lord's mansion and there was no need to wait here.
The group of people clamored up to the fourth floor and watched tea in the living room dedicated to Li Hongxiu. Xiaohong brought iced watermelon over for Dongfang Yu'er to eat. The little girl didn't give in. She said thank you to her sister, took a piece and put it in her mouth.
Li Mingzhu was known as the Pearl of Dongxuan in Sifang City in the Dongxuan Territory. She was three years older than Li Hongxiu. She married the lord of the territory, Dongfang Haotian, as his second wife, and gave birth to a daughter, Dongfang Yu'er. Dongfang Hao's eldest wife gave birth to a son, who is ten years old this year, three years older than Dongfang Yu'er; Dongfang Yu'er is seven years old, one year younger than the young lady from the General's Mansion, and one year older than Li Ye.
Li Hongxiu poured tea for Li Mingzhu and said with a smile: "It has been two years since we parted ways at my sister's house last time, and Yu'er has also grown taller."
