Chapter 4 4. Meeting in the grass pavilion

After hearing Yin Xin's words, Zhu Yingtai looked forward, and indeed a young man came hurriedly on a gray horse.Behind the horse, there is a load, which is bedding and luggage. The one who carried the burden said: "My lord, there are already people sheltering from the rain in this pavilion!" The horseman said: "Yes, put the luggage aside, that's all." While talking, people have rolled off the saddle.The man was wearing a Confucian scarf and a blue shirt, also dressed as a scribe.But the blue shirt he was wearing was very thickly woven, and it didn't look like he was rich in Wentu.The face is oblong, and the eyebrows and eyes are separated, very clear.Looking at the man's appearance, he was very well-behaved, so he led the horse past the willow tree and tied it under the willow tree, and then walked towards the pavilion. When he saw the man who came first, he also looked like Wen Tu, so he cupped his hands and said, "please, the heavy rain is coming Alright, take refuge here for now."

Zhu Yingtai stood at the side of the pavilion and returned the favor politely.Said: "Please. Yes, the heavy rain is coming, it's better to avoid it." At this moment, the young man who was carrying the luggage also carried it into the pavilion, and rested his load outside.He was wearing a gray placket jacket and a soap-colored cap, and he was only eighteen or nineteen years old.Because of the sweat on his face, he took a piece of white silk and just wiped the sweat on his round face.But the two horses were tied too close, and each was tied to a willow tree. I don't know why they were arguing, and the two horses jumped and neighed at the same time.Zhu Yingtai's horse turned around, picked up its hind legs and kicked.The young man ran forward, yelled, untied the rein, and tied it to a tree.Yin Xin also moved forward, pulling the rein back and forth, and the horse was pulled aside.

The man glanced at Yin Xin and asked, "Where did you come from, you man who leads the horse?" Yin Xin looked at the man, let go of the led horse, and did not make a sound. The man said: "Oh! Is it dumb?" Yin Xin said: "You are the dumb one." The man clasped his hands together and said, "You're not dumb, why don't you speak?" Yin Xin said: "There is a way that kindness makes money. When you greet someone, you are leading the horse. I don't think it is listened to, so I didn't answer. This is really impolite." The man smiled and said: "Oh! This is my fault, elder brother, younger brother salute." After finishing speaking, he bowed and bowed, with a smile on his face, and returned the courtesy, then said: "Where do you come from?"

The man said: "He's from Liangjiazhuang in Kuaiji." Yin Xin said, "Where are we going now?" The man said: "Go to Hangzhou to study!" Yin Xin said, "Are you going to study?" The man said: "No, we are husband and wife." Yin Xin said, "Which one is your husband-in-law?" The man said, "That's him." When he said that, he pointed to the pavilion. At this time, the so-called Mr. Xiang was paying attention to the rain in the sky, standing on the edge of the pavilion, looking at the sky. The man said: "I also have to ask your step, where did you come from?"

Yin Xin said, "He's from Shangyu Zhujia Village." The man asked, "Where are you going?" Yin Xin said: "Just like your husband, go to Hangzhou to study books." The man said: "I'm going to study in Hangzhou too. Is that the one who studies?" Yin Xin said: "No, it's our little... little husband." At this time, pointing to the pavilion, at this time, Zhu Yingtai was sitting on the stone pier. The man said: "That's great. When we arrive in Hangzhou, we still need to ask for advice. Brother, what's your name?" Yin Xin said: "My nickname is Yin Xin, which means the silver of silver, the heart of my heart. Brother, what do you call it?"

The man said: "Me? My nickname is Sijiu. My father gave birth to me at the age of forty-nine, so I took this name." Yin Xin said: "Don't gossip. The heavy rain is coming, I have to ask my husband-in-law to be more careful." Sijiu said: "Yes, I should also tell my husband." So the two of them wanted to tell their husband what they had heard, and what the heavy rain was coming, and they both hurried in.Mr. Sijiu watched the rain by the side of the pavilion, he got closer and said, "Sijiu, why are you in such a hurry to go in?" When Sijiu reached the stone steps, he stopped and said, "Heavy rain is coming, sir, be careful."

Xianggong nodded.Sijiu said: "Just now Sijiu talked with Brother Yinxin, did Mr. Xiang hear it?" Xianggong said: "I heard one or two, but I haven't listened carefully." Sijiu pointed to the pavilion: "This gentleman also went to Hangzhou to study books." Xianggong said: "As expected, it's a pleasure to meet you. Let me ask you a question or two." Then, she turned around and saw that Zhu Yingtai was talking with Yin Xin, her face seemed to be full of joy.Then he made a bow and said, "Dear brother, please. It was reported on April 9 just now that my brother went to Hangzhou to study books. I don't know if this is true?"

Zhu Yingtai got up and returned a salute, "It's true. Where do you want to go now, dear brother?" That Xianggong said: "It's also a book attack on Hangzhou. Isn't it wonderful. May I ask my dear brother, where did you come from?" Zhu Yingtai said: "Shangyu Zhujia Village is here, where is my dear friend?" The Prime Minister said fairly, "Come from Liangjiazhuang in Kuaiji." Zhu Yingtai said: "This is really beautiful, the water in my hometown." That Xiang is fair: "Whether to kiss or not, people from my hometown, what a coincidence."

Zhu Yingtai said: "There is still a stone pier here, why don't you sit and talk." That Xianggong said: "Okay, I'm going to ask for advice." So the two met again and saluted, the gentleman took two steps forward, approaching the stone pier, Zhu Yingtai took the dust whisk from the luggage bag, brushed off the floating dust on the stone pier, and returned the dust whisk to the luggage bag.The stone pier was three feet apart, and the two sat down separately. Zhu Yingtai said: "Excuse me, my dear brother, Gao's honorable name." That Xianggong said: "Uncle Liang Shanbo. The mountain of mountains and rivers, uncle Ji's uncle. Where is my brother?"

Zhu Yingtai said: "I wish you Yingtai. I wish you a blessing, a hero, and a tower. I don't know if my brother is going to Hangzhou, which famous teacher do you want to vote for?" Liang Shanbo said: "Mr. Zhou has a scholar's badge and set up Nishan. I want to pay homage to Mr. Zhou's disciples. When my brother goes, which famous teacher will he vote for?" Zhu Yingtai said: "It's the same as my dear brother. Famous teachers are rare these days. This old Mr. Zhou's disciples heard that there are students who come from thousands of miles away."

Liang Shanbo said: "Exactly." Just as he was speaking, he saw two bolts of lightning coming out of the place covered by the black cloud.If you look carefully, the electric light looks like a herringbone from the beginning to the end, especially at the junction of the herringbone, the electric light is extremely strong.There is a white light, emitted from the herringbone shape, which illuminates the surrounding mountains and rivers, turning them all white. Fortunately, the time of the electric light is still short, and it passes in a flash.But even though the lightning passed, the thunder came.There was only a clatter of thunder and a clatter.In this way, thunder and lightning alternated more than ten times, and then the heavy rain came.Looking at the direction of the rain, it is like a pearl curtain hanging densely. From near to far, the rural houses are somewhat blurred, and the further away the blur is, the more blurred they are. The farthest place is blurred, and the rural houses cannot be seen.Yinxin Sijiu was driven away by the heavy rain and stood together at the corner of the pavilion. Liang Shanbo said: "Sijiu, are you afraid of heavy rain?" Sijiu said: "I'm not afraid of heavy rain. It's just that there was a big thunder just now, as if it hit outside the pavilion, it seemed a little..." Liang Shanbo said: "I'm a little scared. This is unavoidable in human nature. The thunder is violent, even though it has nothing to do with me, the sage Confucius also said that a sudden thunder will change color." Zhu Yingtai said: "Brother, what you said is true. Now it's raining heavily, and it's hard to move one step, so I can't help staying here for a while. Excuse me, dear brother, do you have any relatives in Hangzhou?" Liang Shanbo said: "It's never happened. I don't know my dear friend?" Zhu Yingtai clapped her hands on her thighs and said, "My little brother has never had one either." Liang Shanbo said: "In this case, the situation is quite the same. Excuse me, brother. How many Kunzhong are there?" Zhu Yingtai said: "There is only one brother left in the family, the so-called only child orphan?" Liang Shanbo sighed and said, "In this way, I'm the same as my younger brother, who is also an orphan and only child. It's really a coincidence. It's raining heavily in the sky, and it's really a predestined relationship with you and me to meet each other in the grass pavilion." .” Zhu Yingtai said: "Yes, it's just a coincidence." Liang Shanbo turned his head to look outside the pavilion, and saw that the rain was a little bit lighter, so he said, "It's raining a little bit now, wait for my brother to come and see, can you go on your way in the afternoon?" With that said, he stood up and walked slowly to the edge of the pavilion.At this time, the two horses were drenched by the rain and couldn't stand, and they had already stood under the pavilion.The rain in the sky was just covered by the eaves. Liang Shanbo said with a smile: "Look, the horses are driven by the rain, and they naturally gather in places where there is no rain. It can be seen that all things are secretly affected by the word fate." After hearing this, Zhu Yingtai was silent, and pressed her sleeves against her thighs. Liang Shanbo said: "Oh! The rain is getting lighter. You see, the sky has opened in the northwest, and the clouds are gradually moving to the southeast. This afternoon, the weather is clear, and you and I can still go on our way." As he spoke, he raised his hand and pointed to the place where the clouds opened.Zhu Yingtai was also attracted by his finger, so she got up and came over to look at each other.Sure enough, the rain stopped and the clouds cleared up.The blue sky and the bright sun slowly appeared.The house clearly revealed that the big and small branches outside the house were all green after being washed by the rain.About half a mile away, there is a white powder wall surrounded by a clump of bamboo and seven or eight willow trees. The white and green complement each other, which is very beautiful.Best of all were two pink flowers, all with green leaves.Outside the wall of that man's house, there was a shallow stream of clear stream, which was no more than three feet away, and it was flowing into the wheat ridge.The two pink flowers were opening towards the stream, smiling into the pavilion. Zhu Yingtai said: "It's a beautiful view. This heavy rain is adding many bright colors to the green and red." Yinxin Sijiu was also attracted by the two gentlemen, and they stood together. Sijiu said: "It's true. After this heavy rain, the scenery is very good. Unfortunately, I can't say how good it is. Mr. Xianggong, why don't you write a poem to express the scenery we encountered in Hangzhou. Once upon a time On the way, all the way, you said it was reciting poems, and I didn’t understand a word. Now it’s all right, I met Zhu Xianggong here, I dare say you wrote a poem, and Zhu Xianggong will have another one.” Liang Shanbo said with a smile: "I see that you can't see, but you also know how to recite poems. I wish you a great talent. I recite poems, which make people laugh." Zhu Yingtai said: "Where did my brother come from? My younger brother is about to ask for advice. Why don't my brother recite a poem to break the barriers." Liang Shanbo said: "There is no need to recite poems, let's talk about poems. What do my brothers think of Cao Zijian's works?" He still walked back while talking, and sat on the stone pier with Zhu Yingtai as before. Zhu Yingtai said: "Okay, I would like to ask for advice. My younger brother often reads Cao Zijian's poems at home, and feels that he is afraid that Cao Pi will harm him, so he is more sad." Liang Shanbo clapped his hands together and said: "This statement is exactly what I want. But Zijian's poems are really good. You see, this is not "Looking at Zhou Qianli from a distance, seeing the plain day and night" (Note: Looking at Zhou Qianli from afar, day and night Seeing the plains. You can see the plains even at dusk when you say that you can see a thousand miles from afar?" Zhu Yingtai said: "Yes. He still has "Duckweed Chapter", which begins with saying, 'Duckweed sends clear water, which flows east and west with the wind, and makes a close resignation to avenge the gentleman.' (Note: This one The first four sentences of the first poem roughly say that the duckweed is left in the clear water, and the wind blows things and keeps flowing. A man ends his hair and resigns from his father to become friends with a gentleman. Cao Zijian is famous, Cao Cao is the third Son, he was a talented man at that time. The elder brother Cao Pi often killed him) This is exactly the same as talking about the younger brother. So meeting my dear brother in Caoting is a perfect match, and I hope you can teach me a lot in the future!" As soon as Liang Shanbo heard what Zhu Yingtai said, he learned something from reading, so he said: "Since we are classmates, we can learn from each other and share with each other. What you said, 'we will be close and close, come to avenge the gentleman', the younger brother is the same. .” So the two of them laughed. Zhu Yingtai said: "Now we go to study, it can be said that it is very convenient. But there is one thing that is extremely unfair." Liang Shanbo said, "What's wrong?" Zhu Yingtai said: "Think about it! Mr. Zhou now sets up a library to teach apprentices, but he doesn't accept girls. Even if he searched all over the country, there is no female gentleman to teach apprentices. This makes many literate girls in the country give up halfway. What do you think?" , isn’t this extremely unfair?” Liang Shanbo nodded and said, "My brother is right. But this injustice did not happen overnight!" Zhu Yingtai said: "I think there are still some female gentlemen in the Eastern Han Dynasty who teach apprentices. For example, Ban Zhao (Note: Ban Zhao, styled Huiji, is Ban Gu's younger sister. Gu wrote "Han Shu", his "Eight Biao" and " "Astronomical Records", died before it was completed. Zhao continued to complete it) is a literary master, continued to complete the history of the Han Dynasty, is this something Mr. Ping'an can teach? There is also Cai Yong (Note: Cai Yong, the word Bo Jie, is the Eastern Han Dynasty Man, knowledgeable and versatile, official worship doctor, offended the eunuch, Liu Shuofang, pardoned and returned. Dong Zhuo monopolized power, forced him to come out, and made him Gaoyang Hou. After Dong Zhuo was executed, Cai sat in Dang Zhuo and died in prison. Wen Ji was his daughter , named Yan. Captured by the Huns, and later redeemed by Cao Cao), the woman named Wen Ji was exiled to the Huns, and was redeemed by Cao Cao with gold. She is also very literary and understands rhythm, which seems to be beyond the reach of ordinary people. Yes, it's a pity that the history books never mentioned who taught it. Liang Shanbo said with a smile: "my brother, the reason is very sufficient. In the future, when my brother marries a talented sister-in-law, he can set up a house to teach female apprentices." The grass on the side of the border, the long road, the long road is unimaginable, I dreamed of it in the past." (Note: The general meaning of the poem says that the grass on the riverside is green, and the long road of thousands of miles is really endless, and the long road is unimaginable. , only two or three nights can be dreamed in my dreams!) Zhu Yingtai smiled and said, "My brother is also very familiar with Cai Zhonglang's poems." Liang Shanbo said: "It's all because of my brother's seduction!" When it was said, the heavy rain had passed.I saw six or seven willow trees lined up into a green mist, covering the grass pavilion.The clothes of the passers-by turned green.Beyond the circle of willow trees, the sun has come out again, and the sunlight is so bright that the pavement turns white.And this white stripe goes straight into the wheat field. Liang Shanbo saw that Zhu Yingtai's ambition was extraordinary and he was full of poems and books, so he said, "Now that the weather is clear, we are about to go on the road. Along the way, we must help. After arriving in Hangzhou, there are more places that need help, so Our moment is really no coincidence." Zhu Yingtai said: "What my brother said is absolutely true." Liang Shanbo raised his head and thought for a while, then said to Zhu Yingtai: "I have a word, I have to say it." Zhu Yingtai said: "My brother and I were very speculative when we first met. If you have anything to say, feel free to say it." Liang Shanbo said: "When Nishan sets up a library, there must be many students. There must be a lot of gaps in speech habits. My brother and I are different. Our speech habits are the same. I hope you and I will have any instructions from you in the future. Discuss with each other a lot, encourage each other, and if there is something that the little brother can't see, my brother will not hesitate to teach you. This kind of cooperation is much better than asking for advice from fellow students with different language habits." Zhu Yingtai nodded and said: "That's great. My younger brother is looking for a classmate who is proficient in books and science. He will review and discuss the articles that Mr. said economically, so as to find out the truth. My brother can enlighten me without hesitation, brother. I am very happy. I would like to teach you a lot.” Sijiu also stood by the pavilion to watch the weather, and said, "Brother Yinxin, did you hear that? Your family has agreed to my family's request to read books together. I think we should also help, we might as well ask Mr. , also give us a room, when we have nothing to do, the husband will give us two books to read, and we can also hold the paper and practice calligraphy. Secondly, we can also discuss matters that the husband sent us, this way, Maybe things work out better." Yin Xin stood behind Zhu Yingtai to pack the basket, and after hearing Sijiu's words, she looked at Zhu Yingtai, wanting to speak but dared not speak. Liang Shanbo said: "Sijiu's words are advisable." Zhu Yingtai said: "Yes, for a boy in his twenties, reading and writing are always for his own benefit. Let's talk about the house after meeting the person on the side of the husband." Yin Xin checks things, and things make a sound when touched. Liang Shanbo looked back and saw that there were very few things in the burden.He was surprised and said: "My dear brother, the luggage is very small. Are you going to do it when you arrive in Hangzhou?" Zhu Yingtai smiled and said: "This time, my younger brother went out with two people. There is Wang Shun, who is quite strong. He picked out the things for going out. He is walking fast. He should arrive in Hangzhou on this day. Here The ones that Yinxin picks are only for minor use on the road, so there are very few of them.” After hearing this, Sijiu said: "Let me tell you, Mr. Zhu only wants to carry some light things like this. Brother Yinxin is really easy to pick. But for those who go out, these are not enough. I wanted to ask Brother Yinxin , and I was afraid that brother Yinxin would think I was too wordy, so I just wondered in my heart. It turns out that Mr. Zhu has already picked up his luggage and came forward." Liang Shanbo said: "Mr. Zhu, if you feel cold, I still have clothes here. Just pick one to cool down." Zhu Yingtai shook her head and said, "Thank you for your care, I still have clothes to cool off, so I dare not work." Liang Shanbo looked at the sandy soil of the pavilion, which was gently approaching the dry side, and all the black clouds in the sky had flown away.He said: "The weather is fine now, we have companions on the road, and we are not lonely all the way, let's go." Zhu Yingtai looked around and said, "Yes, but I can't forget about the Caoting. You see, the seven or eight willow trees were washed by the heavy rain, and the willow branches drooped. From a distance, they really looked like a small garden. A small green mountain. The winding ditch under the willow tree is on the right side of the pavilion, and the ditch has been washed and deepened by the heavy rain. Standing on the pavilion, I can already hear the rushing sound of the water, which is really refreshing." Liang Shanbo said with a smile: "My brother has described all the songs, and it is already a poem." Zhu Yingtai smiled and said: "But I still have some shortcomings. On the left side of the pavilion, there is a lack of a rose flower stand to block the gap on the left side of the pavilion." Liang Shanbo laughed out loud.At this time, Sijiu Yinxin had already led the horse onto the road.Liang Zhu gave way to each other, but Liang Shanbo went first, and Sijiu Yinxin took up the burden and followed.The horse's hoof stepped on the sidewalk, rustling unavoidably.Suddenly, at the corner of the wheat field, a ditch appeared, and a pair of colorful wild ducks flew out with their backs on their backs. Liang Shanbo said afterwards: "Wonderful, this is the embellishment of the sound of horseshoes." So the four of them laughed loudly, breaking the loneliness on the wild sidewalk.
