Lin Jue raised his head and recalled for a moment, and said with a smile: "Speaking of which, it was still the year before last, the student was originally studying in the home school, but the student felt that if there was no famous teacher to guide him, it would be difficult to improve." I have long heard of and admired the name of Mr. Although I feel that the chances are slim, I also want to try my luck. That day, Xiaohu and I went to visit my husband in the back mountain of the academy, and we ended up having a closed door for the first time. We met my wife, but she refused to let us go to see him, let alone ask him for advice. Little Tiger and I went down the hill in a gray way. ”

Yan Zhengsu stroked his beard and smiled: "Aren't you going to go away?" Do you think that everyone in the world can see the great Confucian? ”

Lin Jue smiled: "Yes, the student was whimsical at that time. In the name of Mr., I don't know how many young talents come to visit the teacher on weekdays, and they all see each other, so they have to die of trouble. ”

Fang Dunru suddenly spoke: "Hey, didn't you go in vain?" I left a gift, and it was still the old man's favorite golden flower carving wine in Renhelou. This scheming is quite profound. ”

Fang Huanqiu, who was sitting on the side, couldn't help but laugh out loud. He whispered, "Yes." Senior brother is afraid that he doesn't know, my mother accepted your wine and put it at home, and my father began to blame my mother for accepting gifts from others, saying that he would find an opportunity to give it back to you. But those jars of wine were placed in the corner every day, and my father had to take a few glances every day when he ate. He also asked me, "If people don't come and take it back, won't this wine be spoiled if it is left every day?" Isn't that a waste? Hee-hee, I haven't heard of alcohol being spoiled. ”

Yan Zhengsu laughed loudly when he heard this, pointed at Fang Dunru and said, "You can drink it if you want, what kind of wine will be bad?" Why don't you say that salt is rancid? ”

Fang Dunru also laughed and said, "Qiu'er, what are you doing when you tell your father's troubles?" You girl. ”

Yan Zhengsu said: "Huanqiu's nephew, don't be afraid, Uncle Yan will support you, what happened later, did your father move the wine?" ”

Fang Huanqiu pursed his lips and smiled: "Of course I moved, I saw that my father was uncomfortable, so I helped him." I sealed the mouth of the altar with mud, and the smell of wine became stronger. Daddy finally couldn't help it, and one night he opened the wine jar and drank freely. What to say: It's a big deal to accompany other people's money, if you don't drink this wine for a long time, the smell of wine will be clean, and it will be a real waste. ”

Yan Zhengsu laughed, nodded and said, "This is true, as soon as the mud seal is removed, won't you have to drink it?" Otherwise, the smell of wine is indeed going to be dissipated. You've done your father a great favor by doing him a great favor, and he's just taking advantage of this to get drunk. ”

Everyone burst into laughter, and Lin Jue heard such an inside story for the first time. On that day, I did bring two jars of golden Huadiao wine to apprentice, but I didn't expect there to be such an interesting section here.

"And what about later? It won't be that after drinking other people's wine, he has to accept Lin Jue as a student. Yan Zhengsu said with a smile.

Lin Jue smiled: "It will be so easy there?" After the first rejection, I had planned to go back a few days later. It's a pity that the sky is not beautiful, and it happens to be our hurricane season in Hangzhou. It was stormy for seven or eight days in a row, and I couldn't go out. After the wind and rain passed, Xiaohu and I went to Songshan Academy again. But this time it was even more unfortunate that my husband and my wife were not at home, but they saw my little sister. ”

Lin Jue glanced at Fang Huanqiu, and it happened that Fang Huanqiu was also looking at it with sparkling eyes. The eyes of the two collided in one place, and they were immediately intertwined and inseparable. Both remembered the first time they met. Lin Jue clearly remembered Fang Huanqiu's appearance that day, with a white shirt and a green skirt, and picturesque eyebrows and eyes, like a sudden gust of wind blowing from the mountains, cool and comfortable, and extremely fresh.

"Yes, my brother came sweating profusely that day, and it was very hot that day. I said I wanted to see my father, but I said that my father was not there, and I was afraid that I would not come back until the afternoon. Without saying a word, he began to work for our family. After the hurricane, our small yard was a mess and the fence fell down a lot. There is sewage everywhere. The senior brother first helped us build a fence, and then helped dig a communication ditch and tidy up the yard. It's busy enough. Fang Huanqiu said softly.

Fang Dunru smacked his lips and said, "Look, it's very scheming." Huadiao wine is to my liking, and tidying up the garden fence or something is to your mother's favor. Your mother likes people who help her tidy up the garden, and then she is full of praise for Lin Jue. ”

Fang Huanqiu grinned. Yan Zhengsu also laughed.

Fang Dunru looked at Lin Jue and said, "The old man has always been very strange, how do you know these joys between me and your wife?" How can you do what you like us? ”

Lin Juexin said: That's because I was your student in the previous life, can I not know your preferences? But he said, "It's not difficult to inquire." ”

"Inquiring? But not many people know that I love to drink Renhelou's Huadiao wine, and no one knows your wife's hobby. Fang Dunru shook his head and said.

Lin Jue said with a smile: "Hard work pays off, you can always find out, it's not important." In fact, students don't want to use these to their liking, so that they can succeed in apprenticeship? Students just think it's a minimum of etiquette. If you want to visit your husband and wife, how can you leave empty-handed? You can't leave empty-handed, so you naturally have to bring something that your husband likes. Isn't it okay to go to meet others and bring some gifts that others don't like? That's not the way to get along. As for tidying up the yard, that's also a matter of convenience. Idle is idle, and students are also people who love neatness. ”

Yan Zhengsu smiled and said: "That's right, Lin Jue is much better than our two old guys in this aspect, we can't think of this." ”

Fang Dunru nodded slightly and smiled, Lin Jue's explanation was still reasonable.

"Then, two jars of wine made you accept Lin Jue as a student? I'm afraid I don't agree with it. Yan Zhengsu smiled and said to the other party.

Fang Dunru said: "Where is it so easy? You know me, I have vowed not to accept students, and if I can break my oath and accept students, then there will naturally be other opportunities. I can only say that I was moved by the lock of "Ai Lian Said". I was going to embarrass him, and I wanted him to take a piece of work that was appropriate to the occasion. Who knew that this "Ai Lian Said" would move the old man at once. Hey, it's so well written. Write to the old man's heart. ”

Talking about this, Fang Dunru still couldn't suppress his excitement, and his eyes were shining.

"I think we have no children in my life, and there are few disciples. What happened to that rebel back then made me feel disheartened. The things in the court also made me very troubled, and I was always depressed, and I always felt that no one could understand my feelings. But those few sentences 'out of the mud but not stained, clear ripples but not demons, straight through the outside, no vines and no branches, fragrant far and clear, pavilions and pure plants, can be viewed from a distance and can not be blasphemed. But it was said that my heart went away. In particular, Lin Jue said that this Ai Lian said that it was made to figure out my state of mind, but it was actually written for me, and the old man felt that this young man understood me. Although I swore not to accept apprentices, but I have to make an exception here, I think Lin Jue must be able to pass on my spirit and inherit my mantle like me. When I die, he can organize the manuscript for me and compile it for circulation. I'm kind of dead and blind. Fang Dunru said slowly.

Lin Jue looked at Fang Dunru silently, remembered the events at that time, and remembered the assessment by the lotus pond in the back mountain. At that time, I had just experienced a rebirth, and how eager I was to join my husband's discipleship. When Mr. accepted himself, the sense of belonging and happiness in his heart was indescribable. Just thinking about what happened at that time, I can't be unhappy with my husband at the moment. Because, at that time, it was the husband's family that gave him great courage and comfort. It was a really nostalgic time. Every time I went to the academy, my wife cooked a few good dishes, and I talked with my husband about drinks, which benefited me a lot. And at that time, the sprouts of emotions with Huanqiu were beginning to sprout. Every time I look at each other, I occasionally pull my little hand and I am happy in my heart. It's a feeling of heaven.

But I don't know when things have gotten worse and worse, and there seems to be a problem between myself and my husband. Although they still love each other with Huanqiu, they are already separated by a chasm that is difficult to overcome. Every time I think about this, I am depressed and unhappy in my heart.

"Sir...... I must be disappointed with my students right now. Lin Jue said softly.

Fang Dunru looked at Lin Jue silently, and said in a deep voice: "Lin Jue, Mr. is not disappointed in you. Perhaps that's the right thing to say. You're just different from what I expected. Sir has always had confidence in you, and I don't shy away from saying that in poetry and writing, Sir may not be as good as you. But what I want to teach you is not poetry and articles, but the truth of being a human being. What I want to teach you is to take the right and bright path, and to act for the country and the people. Poetry and articles are small roads, and the world is a person, and frankness is the road. It is good to be literate, but it is fundamental to be a person and do things. This is also the truth that the teacher has always wanted you to understand. ”

Fang Dunru's words came from the bottom of his heart, and his true feelings were revealed. Lin Jue was grateful in his heart, indeed, in terms of selflessness and selflessness, in the choice between public and private, he was far less noble than Fang Dunru. But it's not that Lin Jue can't do it, it's that Lin Jue doesn't want to do it at all. Because of their different experiences, the two will naturally have different choices.

Fang Dunru was born in the Great Zhou Dynasty and was nurtured by Confucianism, so he was naturally loyal to the monarch and patriotism first, self-cultivation and self-denial, and did not violate the way of the gentleman in his heart. That's why he does a lot of unkind things. That's his moral persistence. And Lin Jue was originally a person who crossed over, although he was reborn in a lifetime, more than ten years passed before and after the Great Zhou. But in his bones, Lin Jue would not have any thoughts of loyalty. Loving one's family, loving one's relatives and loving oneself is the goal of Lin Jue's life. If anyone is Fang Dunru's student, he may be better than Lin Jue. It can only be said that the differences between the two are actually inevitable.
