Xiao Yan turned around and saw Kong Ziyan wearing a long white dress with light blue peonies embroidered on the cuffs. A few auspicious clouds were outlined with silver thread, and a row of blue sea water clouds were densely packed on the hem. The front is wrapped in a wide piece of light yellow brocade, the body is gently turned and the long skirt is spread out, and the movements are as graceful as the wind blowing willows.
Her eyes are full of spring water, and her eyes are looking forward to the clear waves. A jasper flowing cloud hairpin is inserted sideways into a bun on her head. The jade is fragrant and delicate, and the dimples are more delicate than flowers. Her fingers are like peeling onions, and her mouth is like containing vermilion. She has a green face, her cheeks are slightly red, and her eyes are Aiming at Xiao Yan.
Xiao Yan frowned. The last time he was in Plum Garden, he was almost spoiled by this talented girl.
Therefore, he has tried not to provoke people as much as possible and avoided them whenever possible.
In the Wenqu Hall of the Imperial College, I was very strict in class, so as not to be nagged by the teaching assistant.
At that moment, he turned his head again and looked at the motionless fish float.
Kong Ziyan spotted Xiao Yan looking at her, paused, and quickly stepped forward, raising her hand to say hello.
As a result... Xiao Yan turned his head and looked at the river as if he hadn't seen her.
Her raised hand stopped in mid-air.
A gentle breeze blew.
Chilly.
Kong Ziyan quickly tightened her clothes, walked forward lightly, and sat by the stove. She put her hands on her knees and her head on the back of her hands. She also looked at the river and said softly.
"I've said it, I know I was wrong, why are you still angry?"
Xiao Yan raised his eyebrows and replied: "No."
Kong Ziyan pouted slightly, tilted her head, and glanced at Xiao Yan. Seeing the indifferent look on his face, she felt a little uncomfortable in her heart, as if...she didn't look good, and she didn't have a reputation as a talented woman. As attractive.
Usually, when the princes, princes, scholars, and even princes of the princes and nobles see her, they are respectful and have some admiration.
But when she came to Xiao Yan, the prince of Xiliang, her beauty seemed to be of no use, and her talents and learning were even worse than Xiao Yan.
Kong Ziyan finally summoned up the courage to leave Qujiang Tower and came here. She wanted to chat with Xiao Yan and hear his views on the Great Zhou disaster relief.
But Xiao Yan's attitude made her let out a sigh of relief.
The two of them just stopped talking and stared at the river.
Just a moment.
Kong Ziyan couldn't help it anymore.
"It's freezing cold here, and the fish in the river usually live in deep water. In the fishing areas here, the water is relatively shallow, and there are no fish at all."
"The six things are rod, lun, float, sink, hook, and bait. If you don't have any of them, you won't be able to catch the fish."
“If you want fish to take the bait, this bait is the key.”
"The sun is shining warmly today, and the water in this shallow water will be a little warmer. Maybe there will be fish coming, if the bait is good..."
Xiao Yan took a deep breath and turned to look at Kong Ziyan. It must be said that this outfit made Kong Ziyan look less elegant than Wen Qutang's time, but more innocent than Xiaojiabiyu.
But so what?
"What do you want from me?"
Kong Ziyan raised her head and replied seriously: "At the Winter Solstice Poetry Party, I misunderstood you first and almost ruined your affairs. It was my fault. I have apologized to you several times."
"But, but you have been avoiding me since then."
"Well... I admire your literary talent and moral character, and want to make friends with you."
Xiao Yan: "......"
Girl, are you so direct?
If your father knew about this, he would not beat me with a ruler every day, so that I would not be able to sleep in Wenqutang.
Kong Ziyan continued sincerely: "You taught me Thin Gold Style and the block letters, so you can be regarded as my teacher. However, if you want to take my class at Wenqutang, I can also be regarded as your teacher. In this way , we are both teachers and friends.”
Xiao Yan waved his right hand and said, "It's better to say goodbye. You can help me copy the academic notes and I will teach you how to make a thin gold body. It will be regarded as clear."
"As for being both a teacher and a friend, forget it."
When Kong Ziyan heard this, she was startled for a moment, her eyes suddenly became moist, and she couldn't help but burst into tears.
She had bowed her head to admit her mistake, and she had also mustered up the courage to take the initiative to show her kindness. She did not expect that she was having a hot face but a cold butt.
I just feel very aggrieved, a little bit aggrieved, and even a little bit disappointed.
Xiao Yan looked at the pitiful Kong Ziyan sitting there with her lips pouted and tears in her eyes, hugging her legs.
He opened his mouth and sighed.
"All right."
"We are friends, otherwise, I wouldn't teach you how to slim down."
"Nowadays, in Dazhou, not many people know that I wrote Slender Gold Body. If you hadn't taken the initiative to write it and then brought it up that night, well, you should be the fifth person."
When Kong Ziyan heard the second sentence, her eyes lit up, she sobbed slightly and smiled at the corner of her mouth. But when she heard the third sentence, she already regretted her impulsive behavior that day.
That was a secret between the two of them.
In the end, because of his own impulsiveness, he almost ruined Xiao Yan's plan and even exposed the secret.
I really did something wrong.
Kong Ziyan quickly wanted to apologize, but was interrupted by Xiao Yan waving her hand.
He put down the fishing rod, took the teapot on his left hand, poured a cup of tea, and handed it to Kong Ziyan.
"Have a drink to warm yourself up."
Kong Ziyan sat directly next to Xiao Yan, took the teacup in his hand, and drank it all in one gulp.
"Thanks."
Xiao Yan took the empty cup.
Kong Ziyan said directly: "You said before that any tree that is beautiful in the forest will be destroyed by the wind. In my opinion, this may not be the case."
Xiao Yan put the cup down and asked softly: "Why do you see it?"
Kong Ziyan said: "When a tree is beautiful in the forest, everyone is attracted to it. Although the public admires and praises it, the jealousy becomes stronger day by day, and eventually it becomes a wind of slander. At the beginning of this wind, it seems to be there but not there. Even the weak grass can not be damaged by the wind. Down there, even if it is a good tree, it is difficult to keep it intact, so we can only avoid it.”
"However, there are also wind seeds of frustration, which are born to help trees. The ancients said: When heaven is about to assign a great responsibility to this person, he must first strain his mind, strain his muscles and bones, starve his body and skin, deplete his body, and make his movements chaotic. What he does is to move his heart and forbearance and gain what he cannot. This wind is actually the wind of refining wood. Only by strengthening its roots, straightening its body, and clearly understanding its aspirations can it not be broken by the wind, and this will become a towering giant. The way of holding up."
"You want to taint yourself, but the name of Qilin'er of the Great Zhou Dynasty has already been deeply rooted in people's hearts. Moreover, even if some people see you tainting yourself, they think that you are hiding your clumsiness, and you must have a plan. Moreover, what you have planned is If it is too big, I will be even more afraid of you."
Xiao Yan nodded and looked at Kong Ziyan with some surprise. He did not expect that Kong Ziyan, who had always been docile, would have such an opinion.
It was a bit of a mistake.
