So Lin Yanchao first went to his house with Xu Huobo to have a look. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć ļ½ļ½ļ½ļ½
Jiuxian Mountain is in the southwest of the provincial capital, and stands side by side with Wushi Mountain, where the southeast Tixue Road is located, just like the two ques of the provincial capital.
There are many historic sites on the mountain, leaving many inscriptions of literati and rioters. There is also a tower on the mountain, this tower is called Dingguang Tower, encountered thunder and fire in Jiajing 13 years, rebuilt as a seven-storey octagonal brick tower in 27 years, the tower is covered with white ash outside, also called the white tower.
Looking at the green mountains from afar, the ancient towers are steep.
Yi Garden is at the foot of the mountain, built by the mountain, its courtyard is far away from the pass, deep in the alley, the miscellaneous toilet is between the houses, it is a good place to be quiet in the middle of the noisy.
Xu Huobo said first: "Lin Jieyuan, the front is my house, you go slowly first, and I will make a sound when I enter." ā
Lin Yanchao nodded, and then Xu Huobo walked first, walking slowly in the secluded road, and soon came to the garden.
But I saw a middle-aged man in a brocade robe, standing outside the garden gate with Xu Huobo and two teenagers.
Lin Yanchao hurriedly took a few steps forward and saluted first.
The middle-aged man also saluted and said, "Xie Yuanlang can come to the cold house, it is really brilliant." ā
Lin Yanchao knew that the other party was Xu Huobo's father, Xu? said: "Don't dare, it's good if Brother Xu doesn't dislike it." ā
The middle-aged man said to the two teenagers: "Xi'er, Xi'er, you have always said that you want to see Lin Jieyuan, but now that Lin Jieyuan is here, you won't see you yet!" ā
At that moment, the two teenagers beside him saluted together: "I've seen Lin Jieyuan." ā
Lin Yanchao asked Xu Huobo, and knew that his brother's name was Xu Xi, who became a student in Min County at the age of twelve. As for his younger brother Xu Xi, he is still in school.
Lin Yanchao took two strings of jade beads and gave them to the two teenagers and said, "When we meet for the first time, I haven't prepared a generous gift, let's take these two strings of beads and play with them!" ā
Composed? He opened his mouth humbly, but in the end he accepted it. Both teenagers were delighted.
Present Xu? Please Lin Yanchao to visit.
Entering the door is the living bedroom, and there are three wings behind the bedroom, which is called the red rain building. Hongyulou is the place where the Xu family reads and collects books. Books are placed on the second floor of Hongyu Building, and books are read on the first floor. There is also a first floor next to the Red Rain Building, called the Persimmon Leaf Mountain House, which is said to be used for collecting books and carving books.
This red rain building was very famous in the late Ming Dynasty. Even Qian Qianyi and Feng Menglong have come here to borrow books, which are almost comparable to Tianyi Pavilion.
The group did not go to the Hongyu Building to read the collection of books first, but bypassed the back of the building, and there was a garden in the south for half an acre.
Lin Yanchao raised his head, but saw that the three words of retreat were written on the door of the garden wall, the left and right couplets, the bamboo was quiet and there was nothing to do, and the flowers were making up for the unfinished book.
Lin Yanchao couldn't help but nodded. Composed? The couplet was obviously very complacent and asked, "What does Xie Yuanlang think?" ā
Lin Yanchao said: "There is a kind of chrysanthemum picking under the east fence and leisurely seeing Nanshan, such a feeling of self-bias from a distance." ā
Composed? Daxi said: "Xie Yuanlang is really my confidant, come inside to invite, it's more interesting." ā
Lin Yanchao and Xu? Visit the garden together, but see countless flowers and trees planted in the garden, Xu? Said: "Only the bamboo in the garden is the most numerous, and the bamboo is a pole." When the breeze comes, the sound of heaven is sounding. There's no better place to study here. ā
Speaking of Xu? Take Lin Yanchao to travel all over the park, but see the green bamboo in the garden, the arch bridge and flowing water, the winding path corridor, the rockery snow cave, although the ground is not wide. But it's very exquisite.
Lin Yanchao was very satisfied with Xu? Said: "This garden borrows the scenery of the mountains, there are mountains, water and stones, the ancients are ancient, the water is far away, and it is better to choose this place to do an elegant collection." ā
Composed? Haha smiled and said, "The matter of the social gathering." It's decided, it's my Xu family's honor! ā
This is not unexpected, the late Ming Dynasty officials and gentry were very generous, established a good garden, and were willing to lend it to the people to visit and play on weekdays, as for doing this elegant gathering thing, it was not a problem, and at the same time it could help him leave a good reputation in Shilin.
After deciding the matter, everyone returned to the Red Rain Building.
Lin Yanchao and Xu? It chatted, this Xu?, the word Zizhan, the person was born, served as a Confucian teacher in Maoming, and the instructor of the county tried to revert to the first, and moved to the county order of Yongning County, and now he has just given a shi, and his poems and books are written by Xu Lingji, Zhou Yitong, etc., almost equal to the body, and he is a very famous Confucian in the forest of Fujian sergeants.
In addition to writing books, Xu? I also like to collect books.
Composed? Said: "After others are promoted as officials, they like to ask for land and ask for help, but the foolish brother is not, the family can lack good land, but it can not be less history, even if the reading and learning are not successful, the collection of books can also be left for future generations." Therefore, he has been an official for many years, and all the meager money has been used to buy books, but the foolish brother did not buy books to put them on the shelf, but hoped that one day he could engrave the books and books in the world. ā
Lin Yanchao said: "Collecting books is not as good as reading, reading is not as good as carving books, reading is for yourself, and carving books is for people." This is a great merit. ā
Lin Yanchao said from the bottom of his heart, and he is also a book lover. Anyone who loves books in the world can be like-minded friends.
Composed? is also Zhengse: "Xie Yuanlang said it well, you are a friend, I Xu someone is settled, Bo'er, come here." ā
Xu Huobo walked to Xu according to his words? Hold your side,
Composed? Hugging Xu Huobo, he said: "Brother Lin's fifteen-year-old Xie Yuan's matter has spread in this mansion, and Brother Yu really admires Xie Yuan's talent. Although Brother Yu's son is not a weapon, he has a studious heart, and he usually does not release the papers, and he admires Xie Yuanlang's academic character very much. So I want to ask Xie Yuanlang to look at Xiao'er's heart and accept him as a disciple, and my Xu family is grateful. ā
Lin Yanchao listens to Xu? Saying this, I also felt his sincerity, took a sip of tea and said with a smile: "I don't want to teach my disciples!" It's just that this teacher is not good at being a teacher, and there is a saying that 'the father and brother of the young class are lazy, and the children who have a lot of merit have a grudge,' here and outside are all going to offend people. ā
Listening to Lin Yanchao say this, Xu? Father and son all laughed. However, Lin Yanchao neither agreed nor refused.
Composed? Said: "Xiao'er is full of fists, please ask Xie Yuanlang to agree." ā
Lin Yanchao looked at Xu Huobo, and saw that he didn't dare to look at himself, he looked worried, and twisted the corners of his clothes with his hands there, so he said: "It's not that I don't want to teach Linglang at the beginning, but I'm just afraid that I will study on weekdays, and I won't have time to mislead people's children, but since Brother Xu is personally respectful, then I have no choice but to be respectful and obey." āć
Composed? After hearing the great joy, he said to Xu Huobo: "Since Lin Jieyuan agreed, from now on, you have to listen to Lin Jieyuan's words, understand?" ā
Xu Huobo nodded, excitement on his face.
His brother said: "I haven't had tea with Xie Yuanlang yet." ā
Xu Huobo will only then bring tea and salute Lin Yanchao.
Lin Yanchao smiled, took the tea and took a sip and said: "Being a teacher and learning can't talk about the spirit, in a word, it is eight words: 'Read a hundred books, become a family'." ā
Xu Huobo said respectfully: "The words of the teacher, the disciple will do it for life." ā
After drinking this apprenticeship tea, the two officially decided on the status of teacher and student. (To be continued.) )
