Chapter 1194: Appreciation of Elegance and Vulgarity

Jieshoutang, Xu Hao quietly listened to his nephew and daughter-in-law Lu Shufang tell his mother about his mother's family, it is really strange in the world, Master Lu is simply too sad. "Le > Text" novel w.

When Mr. Lu was a child, his grandparents were in the hall, and his great-grandmother was a well-known widow in the local area. Mr. Lu, who has a good living conditions since he was a child, was admitted to Xiucai at the age of sixteen, and he was proud of his youth when he was young, and he didn't want to be promoted in the year when his grandfather passed away, and he had to keep filial piety at home for three years.

Three years have passed, and unfortunately it has brought my grandmother's worries again, and it has been three whole years. Then Mrs. Tai and her father also died one after another, so that they had been worried for a total of 12 years, and they were 28 years old.

At the age of thirty, he failed to pass the exam, and at this time his mother also went, and he had to keep filial piety at home for three years.

The elders all died, as the head of the family, not to mention the imperial examination, he continued to run funerals and made him penniless, in order to make a living, he had to be a staff member everywhere to be a gentleman, from south to north more than 10,000 miles, traveling for 20 years, his fame was not successful, but he was famous in Shilin for a while.

The family business gradually improved, and the 50-year-old Mr. Lu returned to Beijing to apply for the examination, but failed the examination and returned disappointed. Last year, he was hired by Xu Qingtang and came to Jinling again, sitting in Xu's mansion, mainly for the future of his two sons.

Xu Hao was very emotional, there are really not many people like Mr. Lu who have been guarding for 15 years, and his life has been delayed. Some scholars use various excuses, such as asking the teacher to ask the court to win affection or something, relatives and friends will also understand, filial piety at home is filial piety, and how is it not filial piety to honor the ancestors? Of course, doing so will be criticized and will affect the reputation.

In history, there are many examples of officials concealing their worries for the sake of their careers, and they often succeed for a while, and once they are exposed, they will be ruined.

In ancient times, filial piety was the sky, and the impeachment of an official for not being filial was one by one, so in this social atmosphere of respecting the elderly. Few people dare not support their parents, and people's concepts and mentality are very good, everyone regards filial piety to parents as a matter of course, even in modern times, the concept of filial piety to parents in Chinese is deeply rooted in the bone marrow.

"Sir."

"Huh?" Xu Hao came back to his senses, saw Yuelan standing in front of him, and said, "Master Xie is visiting." ”

Lu Shufang, who was talking, turned around when he heard the words and said, "Master go slowly." ”

"Okay." Xu Hao stood up and said with a smile: "It's okay to come over, I can see that Mrs. Tai likes you very much." ”

"Not really." Xiao Shi took Lu Shufang's hand. "The ripple little leaves have no conscience, only Shufang often reads it, I don't think I'm old."

"Mother. I went. I'll come back in the evening to say hello. Xu Hao walked out with a smile.

A corn garden, plum hermitage.

Xu Hao arrived here with Xie Jin, a group of young people were scattered everywhere standing or sitting, and Yingchun hurriedly greeted him and said, "Back to my lord, I am opening a poetry club today." ”

"Don't alarm them." Xu Hao waved his hand.

Xie Jin pointed to Zhu Hao, who was sitting in the pavilion. said: "Look at the bones of the young man's body. behaves and sits in a similar manner, not the children of ordinary people. Right? ”

"Xie Gong, is this going to change his career to fortune telling?" Xu Hao smiled and said, "Not bad." That's the child of the Zhu family, a famous scholarly family in Jiangnan. ”

Xie Jin said: "The physiognomy is an abnormally intelligent and daring person. ”

Xu Hao didn't wait to speak, Xu Run in the corridor on the other side said to Xu Yu and the others: "There are many beauties in ancient times. The beauty of its shape is only described in the pen and ink of people. It is also seen in the words and poems, which also refers to the difficulty of defeating, where is the best way to describe it? Let's talk about it. ”

"Sure enough, it's a young man." Xie Jin stood and listened with great interest, while Xu Hao said that male students always have this problem when they read, and they began to talk nonsense about women at every turn, forgetting to study.

Xu Yu, who didn't know that his father was nearby, had the deepest experience of this, and the people present except for his Lao Tzu, there were probably no one who could match the number of beauties around him, and immediately said: "The ancients have wonderful pen and ink, how can they be enumerated?" I've got a lot of experience with that. I privately think that to describe the body of a beauty, everyone calls it a wonderful person, and it is none other than Wei Zhuang Jiang, who is written with dazzling brilliance. ”

"Go on." Xu Run encouraged.

Xu Yu smiled and said: "'Collar is like a grub' and 'beautiful eyes', the words describe it exquisitely, without a lining language, without a pretense of words, the so-called Yongyue Yongyue is full, writing flowers and flowers, sweeping away the method of baking clouds and supporting the moon, is the most difficult." ”

"Well said." Wang Xun praised, and Zhu Hao and others on the opposite side came over one after another.

"Not bad." Xie Jin smiled at the speechless Xu Hao: "Although this insight is not difficult, it is also extraordinary. Although the prince of Guan Ling is a rich and noble person, it is just Qinggao all the way, and the pomegranate flowers in May are bright, and the elegance and vulgarity are appreciated. ”

Xu Hao shook his head and said: "Vulgar may be, but Ya may not." This kid has a proud backbone, and he can't pitch up with the times, and the son's habits are preoccupied, and everything is inappropriate. He studied like I did, and he wouldn't have much success. ”

"Xu Gong is humble." Xie Jin smiled, thinking in his heart that Xu Hao's comments on his son hit the nail on the head, Xu Yu is extremely talented, but he can't stand any grievances, such a young man has never suffered setbacks, and he really becomes a talent in every difficulty.

At this time, Xu Yu said: "If you talk about the prosperity of clothing and the study of posture, I think it is also simple, after all, how to describe the position of the eyebrows, nose and mouth, etc., is the most difficult." I don't want to describe Song Yu's "Goddess Fu", but it's just a cloud: 'Its beginning is also like the beginning of the day, shining on the roof beams; Its little progress is also, as bright as the bright moon and its light. His words are only light. ”

Xu Run patted the case and said: "When it comes to my heart, tomorrow is okay, and the white sun and roof beams are not good." And Cao Zijian's "Luo Shen Fu" reuses its meaning, with 'looking at it from afar, like the sun rising to the morning glow', and the facial features are also missing. ”

Xu Hao couldn't help nodding secretly, it is true that describing people's facial features is the most difficult and the most powerful.

"The goddess Fu Youyun: 'Suddenly changed her appearance, graceful like a dragon riding the clouds.'" And Luo Shen Fuli reused his sentence cloud: 'Soaring like a frightening Hong, graceful like a dragon.' I think Cao Zijian is really not good at understanding, comparing the dragon to the beauty, I don't know what he sees. ”

Xu Yu, who was talking eloquently, seemed to have taken the wrong medicine today, and said: "Another example is Song Yu's "lustful endowment" cloud: 'If you increase one point, it will be too long, and if you subtract one point, it will be too short. 'In general, not in fact. If you carefully check the strengths and weaknesses of others, it is a language disease. If the cloud is increased by one point, it is too long, then this person is really long, and the subtraction of one point will not be short; If the cloud is subtracted by one point, it is too short, then this person is really short, and it will not be long if one point is added, and this is the love language of the article. ”

Xu Hao's analysis of his son was impressive, in the past, he always praised 'an increase is too long, a decrease is too short', and his son said this, just like a traditional ink painting, paying attention to a verve and artistic conception, lost in the detailed and meticulous painting.

Xu Zhu said with a smile: "In the novel, there are all kinds of depictions, and the words are unbearable, and they make everyone dizzy, and their expressions are vivid on the paper." I most admire the Han Dynasty's "Miscellaneous Secrets" in the description of Nuying's body, which is really overwhelming. 'The concubine takes the edict like Ying's bed, reprimands the servant, when the pavilion is closed, the sundial is thin, wearing the mirage, the light is sent on the face, such as the morning glow and snow, the glamorous shot can not be faced, the eyes are clear and fresh, the eyebrows are even juan, the mouth is bright, the ears are repaired and the nose is suspended, and the position is appropriate. Ji Xun took off the Yingying step and swayed, stretched out the bun and hair, such as swarthy hair, eight plates around the hand, and fell to the ground and half a grip. Already, the begging is over, and the face is resistant. Ji told Ying and said: The official family is a heavy gift, borrowing to see the decay, slow down the end, and add Ju Zhai Er.

After a few lines of crying, she closed her eyes and turned her face inward, holding the sun slowly in her hand, the aroma sprayed, the texture was greasy and clean, and she didn't leave her hand. Before and after the regulation, the fat is carved with jade, the chest - milk hair, and the umbilicus is half an inch of beads. The private grave rises, in order to show two shares, the ditch is Wodan, and the fire is ready to vomit. This observance is also a strict virgin. It is about a little bright, with bloody feet and glorious skin, skin and feet decorated with flesh, and flesh and feet with long bones.

The length of the fit, from the top to the bottom, the length of seven feet one inch, the width of the shoulders one foot six inches, the width of the hips and shoulders is reduced by three inches, from the shoulder to the finger length of each two feet seven inches, the fingers go to the palm four inches, Xiao Shizhu sprouts also. The hip is two feet two inches long, the foot is eight inches long, the shin is plump, the bottom is flat and the fingers are constricted, and the socks are about to be forced.

The concubine ordered to thank the emperor for ten thousand years, and Ying Nai Xu worshiped the emperor for ten thousand years. If the breeze vibrates, the whisper can be heard. Although the article is too obscene to wait for the elegant hall, the essence of its portrayal is no more than that. ”

Xu Hao was stunned, this is the average level of cultural literacy, for ancient readers, this description can be described as wonderful, and for people who are not proficient in ancient literature, it is naturally not very good.

In fact, in the final analysis, it does not quench the thirst of the ancients, and the more straightforward and explicit this kind of novel is, the more enjoyable it is, isn't it? Of course, the writing is better! The Han Dynasty was limited by the social environment at that time, and it was not easy to write and print, forcing writers to use concise words. Now that half-literate and half-white novels have been surging, when will Jin Jimei come out? Cultural life is simply too monotonous.

Next, a group of young people talked about it, exchanging their experiences in such novels, which made Su Lan Huifang and other women blush.

Suddenly, Su Lan said, "Then what's the matter with foot binding?" ”

Xu Run said: "The beginning of foot binding is said to have begun with Pan Guifei of Hou Chen, 'about the coercing socks, the restraint is as slight as the forbidden', isn't it the beginning of foot binding?" ”

Xie Jin heard Xu Hao sigh: "Empress Chen is not shallow in harming people!" He couldn't help but smile.

"That's just a little entanglement, the so-called shin tarsus Fengyan, the bottom is flat and fingery." Xu Yu said again: "It is definitely not the later tightly wrapped feet, what must be made as sharp as a lotus petal." ”

Huifang also asked, "What's the matter with the size?" Seven feet one inch long, one foot six inches wide at the shoulders, according to today's size, how can there be such a woman? ”

Zhu Hao, who had not spoken, explained: "This is the Han ruler, compared with the size of today's Ministry of Industry, one foot is seven inches and five minutes, and the discretion of the construction ruler is nine inches and three minutes. ”

"Good!" Xu Hao applauded, this is a scholar who learns and uses it lively, the pillar of the country.

Seeing Zhu Hao continued: "Seven seven four feet nine, five seven three inches five, plus seven minutes five, equal to five feet three inches and two and a half minutes long, according to the folk conversion, then five nine four feet five, three hundred and nine-two inches seven, plus two points two, the height is four feet eight inches, this Han Dynasty lady is very tall, compared to you seems to be a little taller." ”

"Taller than the slaves?" Huifang subconsciously raised her hand above her head.

Xu Hao glanced at Huifang, according to modern standards, it was about one meter five three or five four. (To be continued.) (lw0。 om))
