May has not yet arrived in the hot summer, and the sun is just right. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 ｉｎｆｏ

The distant mountains are lush and green, and the mountain stream turns to the east and flows into a small lake.

As soon as the sun broke, the water vapor of the small lake at the foot of the mountain suddenly steamed, and the wind blew gently, and the fragrance of rice flowers in the fields by the lake spread far away.

There is a house by the lake, and it is in this fairyland-like place.

In the courtyard, Lin Tingji, the former Shangshu of the Nanjing Ministry of Rites, finished a set of Taoist breathing and meditation health exercises, spit out a mouthful of phlegm in the bowl presented by the little maid, and then put on a Confucian robe.

After the servant brought him another cup of tea and rinsed his mouth, he served a freshly brewed Longjing tea.

This year's newly picked Longjing tea is like a bird's tongue, and the old man sits in the courtyard, basking in the sun, and slowly tastes it.

At the entrance of the fragrant tea, Lin Tingji picked up a book from the side. This is Lin Tingji's reading habit when he was young, even if he was in the officialdom in the past, no matter how busy he was every day, he did not forget to read.

And now he is old and living in the mountains and forests, but Lin Tingji is still reading the Bible every day, reading history every day, and never stopping.

Lin Tingji read the book, and an old servant stepped forward and said, "Master, an apprentice who claims to be the second young master has come to visit the master." ”

Lin Tingji squinted and said: "That's right, it's a disciple, and there must be something to ask for here." ”

"Do you see it, master?"

Lin Tingji said: "After the old age, there are many people who want to come to the camp. However, I have explained to me, let me take care of his disciple, just listen to it. ”

Soon the courtyard gate opened, and Lin Tingji saw a young man in a shirt, and after entering the courtyard, he saluted himself and said, "Late Lin Yanchao, meet the old Shangshu Xianggong!" ”

Lin Tingji nodded in return, pointed to the small stool on the side and said, "Sit." ”

After sitting down, Lin Yanchao thought to himself, chatting with such a former second-class member sitting on a small bench in the courtyard of the farmhouse. It still feels weird.

Although the other party is now idle and far away from the court, but a retired official from the ministry and the energy in the local area, even the governor and the political secretary dare not ignore it. I didn't expect to be able to talk to such a big man today.

Lin Tingji looked at the young man in front of him, but when he saw that the other party's eyes were like paint, and there was light, he was quite familiar with each other, and thought that this son must be an extremely smart person.

Lin Tingji said with a smile: "Housheng, what do you think of the old man's house?" ”

Lin Yanchao said: "The Peach Blossom Source is nothing more than that. ”

Lin Tingji said with a smile: "Exactly, the old man has been working hard for more than 20 years to find such a good place as a place to return to the elderly. You say that it is like Tao Yuanming's peach blossom spring. The old man thinks it's very appropriate, Tao Yuanming is a man with muscles. In his biography of Mr. Wuliu, there is a sentence, not related to poverty, the next sentence, what is the next sentence? ”

Seeing Lin Tingji looking at himself, Lin Yanchao said: "But I don't care about the poor, I don't learn from the rich." ”

Lin Tingji said with a smile: "That's right. ”

A man who reads poetry and books. You will never forget this famous saying.

Lin Yanchao guessed at the moment that this former secretary of the Ministry of Rites would be wrong. I thought I had come to the camp.

You must know that as an official, you can mix with second-class masters like the old man, and all of them are human spirits. But mortals can have a good grasp of proportions in their interactions with others, such as in the market, where others ask for money for themselves. Let's first say that my family is poor and white, so that the other party will not lose face, and I will not hurt the friendship between the two.

Of course, this method is used by women in the market, but it is not as elegant as the people who are in charge of the government. As the saying goes, 'I don't care about poverty.' Don't learn from wealth', is to use Tao Yuanming's mouth to tell yourself not to look for him to try to drill into the camp in vain.

But after hearing this, Lin Yanchao still said 'without knowing the proportion': "The old Shangshu is a father, and he is here to ask for something in his later life." ”

Lin Tingji took a sip of tea and said lightly: "Don't call it an old scholar, the old man has been a man for a long time, but now he is just an ordinary person." ”

Lin Yanchao knew that the refusal in the other party's words was obvious, but he still said: "Although the old gentleman is far away from the rivers and lakes, he is simply in the emperor's heart, and he is still a pillar to look up to. ‘

Lin Tingji smiled and said, "I can still talk in this life, what are you asking the old man for?" ‘

Lin Yanchao immediately took a stack of scrolls and said to Lin Tingji: "This is a late-born article, and I also ask Lao Shangshu to take a look at it." ‘

Lin Tingji took the papers, and his heart was dry, by the way, it will be the township test soon, this kid wants to find the examiner to submit the papers, so please entrust me.

Lin Tingji quietly took a look at Lin Yanchao's article and asked: 'Why is the article you gave to the old man not Shiwen?' ‘

Lin Yanchao said: "This is the experience of reading Shangshu in the past few years, and I heard that the old gentleman is from the Fang family, so I want to ask you for advice." ‘

Lin Tingji smiled when he heard this: "You want to comment on the scriptures at a young age? ‘

Lin Yanchao said: "Xu Shen penetrated the Five Classics at the age of twenty, Yanchao was not talented, and he specialized in the First Classic before the age of sixteen, which is still a little shallow. ‘

Lin Tingji shook his head and said: "No matter how good the commentary is, it is better to say it without doing it, and believe in it and be ancient." ‘

Saying that, Lin Tingji lowered his head and looked at Lin Yanchao's scroll.

Lin Yanchao didn't say a word, and sat there quietly, waiting for the other party's opinion. If you are not unconvinced, then add another person.

Just like the current essay, have the students and the instructor sign their names.

This meditation is a very knowledgeable thing. If you are careless and restless, it is easy to leave an unstable impression on others.

If you stand in a military posture, if you don't move in the face of a great enemy, it won't work, and you will lose the elegance of a scholar.

But Lin Yanchao reads every day at home, according to the cultivation of tranquility and respect, and a set of kung fu with few words, coupled with decades of experience, he has already taken off the restlessness of a teenager of this age, but has the calmness of those great Confucians.

When Lin Tingji read the text, he glanced at Lin Yanchao, couldn't help nodding, and read the text again.

The clouds on the horizon are rolling, the petals in the courtyard are falling to the ground, and the waterwheel on the stream by the mountain is spinning.

Smoke burned in a farmer's house by the stream.

Lin Tingji's brows were tense and loose, and the armrests of the rattan chair were lying beside him. In the middle of the sound, Lin Tingji moved his body, looked at Lin Yanchao and asked, "You really wrote this article?" ‘

Lin Yanchao said: "Back to the old man's words, yes. ‘

Lin Tingji stretched out his hand and pinched his eyebrows, he could see that he was getting older, and his energy was a little weak after reading for a long time.

Lin Tingji said: 'You stay here at night, and the old man will talk to you after reading it.' ‘

Then Lin Tingji didn't talk to Lin Yanchao anymore, and soon, someone served Lin Yanchao to eat.

A small plate of white tofu, a plate of water spinach, and a pot of water.

An old servant said to Lin Yanchao: "The old man is old, the diet is light, the tea is light, and the rice is coarse, please forgive the son." ‘

'Is there enough food?' ‘

The old servant was stunned for a moment, then smiled and said, "That's whatever." ‘

That'll do. ‘

Lin Yanchao immediately sandwiched a slice of tofu, put it in the bowl, and gulped down the rice. Natural farmhouse meals have a different sweetness to eat. (To be continued.) )
