Chapter 13 Chapter 11 A Poet with Unique Wisdom and Suspiciousness

The sound of applause spread from near to far to Leng's house. At this time, Qingqiu took a wicker chair and a novel, and lay down under the shade of a jujube tree to enjoy the cool.Suddenly hearing such a loud commotion, she asked Han's mother, "Nurse, what's going on here?" Han's mother said, "My girl, you really forget things. Just now, Young Master Jin sent some snacks." , Didn’t you say there’s a treat there?” Qingqiu then remembered that this was their poetry club and it was such a great joy.Listen to the voice, just behind the room.Behind this house, there is a small courtyard, leaning against a short whitewashed wall, and on the top of the wall are rows of tiled betel nut eyes.I thought to myself, take a peek to see how this poetry club was established.So he took a small ladder, leaned against the wall, climbed up, and stretched out his head to look in the betel nut eyes.The place where they meet is a large open hall under the locust tree.From here, it can be seen clearly.Inside, Yanxi was embracing with a group of well-mannered friends.Among them was a man with a papaya face and a small yellow beard, gesticulating, and said: "Wait a minute, let's not randomly determine the leader. The master's masterpiece has not been learned yet." Everyone said yes, we are busy. After a while, how can I forget the masterpiece of the protagonist?The little yellow beard walked up to Yanxi, patted him on the shoulder and said with a smile: "Brother Yanxi, your poem was personally instructed by the Prime Minister, and your family has a long history. No matter what, if you write it casually, it will be better than ours. " Yanxi laughed and said, "Don't make fun of me, I'm in a hurry, and I can't catch up with you." After finishing speaking, she took some letterheads from a table and handed them to them.Qingqiu studied Chinese with her father since she was a child, and learned to compose poems and lyrics. Although it is not considered a career, but when reading poems, it is difficult to distinguish between good and bad.She had heard that Yanxi could compose poems, and she thought in her heart that those dudes might not be able to write good things.Now that I have this opportunity, what about his poems?Helpless, I am not a man, if I were a man, I would be an uninvited guest, rushing forward to see his masterpiece.But just as she was thinking about it, she saw the little yellow beard slapping her thigh with her hand and said: "Only such a poem can be regarded as a rhythmic poem, and only such a poem can be regarded as Wing Chun Yu. I said Brother Yan The family background is really good." The little yellow beard praised for a while, and all those people rushed forward to see it.The little yellow beard said: "You are so crowded, but you can't see it. Why don't you let me read it to you."

Clouds seal the courtyard, the tree and the poem window are cold, and the door covers pear blossoms and swallows are idle. At first sight of the lake and mountains open to painting, I was surprised that plums and willows crossed the river pass. Once the small building dreams of the world, it is only in the green light and mirror. Among these people, if Kong Xueni was better, he would not have taken them seriously.Now Yanxi's poems are written in a stable and comfortable manner, which is unexpected.I thought to myself, he has never been a big reader, when did he learn to compose poetry, no matter what, I have to refute him, don't let him get the full limelight.Then he asked: "Brother Yanxi's poem, every sentence is not spring rain, but every sentence is spring, every sentence is rain, but the word plum, everyone has some objections just now, saying it is out of season." When he refuted, he didn't know how to agree, so he looked at Song Runqing.Song Runqing was about to say it, but now that Yanxi wanted him to say it, he couldn't help it.He said: "Mr. Kong, you have misunderstood Brother Yanxi's meaning. The plums he mentioned are not plums, but plum blossoms. The words plum and willow in the poems always refer to plum blossoms, not plums. Spring Plum blossoms are the first to bloom, and willows are also the earliest to sprout. To describe the arrival of spring, the word plum and willow is the most reliable word." Shen Congzhong stretched his head forward after hearing this, and approached it with his nearsighted eyes. With Song Runqing.Song Runqing was startled when she saw a head stretched out in front of her.When I looked carefully, it turned out that Shen Congzhong was smiling and came to talk.Song Runqing said: "Mr. Shen, what are your high opinions?" Shen Congzhong said: "Mr. Song, I admire your high opinions. The plum blossoms I mentioned also refer to plum blossoms. That's why I read Huangmei every day, and I read it well. The sour teeth have not opened. Secretly, I used a word Kai, which refers to an evidence of plum blossom. The so-called poetic eye is here. There are only people in the world who talk about blooming, not fruit. Then, the yellow plum I am talking about, of course It's plum blossoms. In Mao's poem, "There are plum blossoms in the *, but they are actually seven.That plum is the plum. "

Qingqiu saw the sourness in the betel nut eyes on the wall, couldn't help laughing, climbed down the ladder slowly, and laughed for a while while lying on the ladder.Then he stroked his temple hair for a while, and went to the front yard.Mrs. Leng saw it and asked: "What's the matter? Are you laughing like this alone?" Qingqiu said: "Just now I was in the hole of the wall and saw a group of people composing poems next door. The sour look is really funny." Mrs. Leng said: "Don't talk nonsense, Mr. Jin's knowledge is very good." Qingqiu said seriously: "His poems are not bad, I heard people reading them. How can a person with a young master's temper actually do such a good job?" Poetry, that is unexpected." Mrs. Leng said: "They have a lot of money in their family, and it doesn't count if they have studied in the school, and the family invites a gentleman to teach him, then the essay will naturally be good." Qingqiu said: "Uncle is there too. When uncle comes back, I would like to ask, who are those people?" Mrs. Leng said, "Why did your uncle join them? In fact, he wants to keep in touch with these people often. That would be much better than being entangled with some irrelevant people. I think your uncle's articles are far worse than those of Mr. Jin." Her mother and daughter discussed in this way, thinking that Song Runqing was not as good as Jin Yanxi.In fact, Yanxi has made a big splash today, and she admires Song Runqing very much.In the evening, Song Runqing came back sober after eating, yelled all the way into the room, and said, "Your mother and daughter are biased. I made a lot of new friends today. Among them are Mr. Kong's young master, Mr. Meng's young master, Mr. Yang There are many section chiefs. The next time will be Mr. Kong’s Dongli. I know that his house is very nice, and I would like to visit it. Mr. Kong is very humble, sit together, you brother and my brother In addition, Mr. Meng is also very good. But he is young and naughty. In terms of qualifications, among the dozen or so people present today, except for the three young masters, none of them are more qualified than me Some." Qingqiu said with a smile: "Uncle's official addiction is really not shallow. Drinking alcohol and composing poems, such an elegant thing, should be compared with others in terms of official rank." Song Runqing said: "Girl, you are not a man, so you don't want to do it." Officer. But let me ask you again, when an uncle finds you a son-in-law, would you like to be a disciple of an official family? Or a disciple of an ordinary family?" Qingqiu said with a straight face: "Drunk, Just talking nonsense here, it doesn't look like an old man at all." After finishing speaking, he went into the room by himself.Song Runqing laughed when she saw it, walked crookedly all the way, and went back to the house to sleep.In his mind, it was just that his niece scolded him too much, so there was really no other meaning in taking revenge.After Qingqiu heard it, it seemed that her uncle had a reason for what she said, so she let Song Runqing go, and said to her mother: "Mom, uncle drank a lot today, look at what he said, talking in a nonsensical way." Mrs. Leng laughed. "You know he's drunk, so if you still say something, just ignore him!" Qingqiu said, "You can't bring this up properly even if you're drunk." , just ignore him." Seeing his mother always saying ignore him, Qingqiu stopped chasing him.The next day, Qingqiu met Song Runqing and said: "Uncle, did you drink a lot yesterday?" good words.But as soon as this sentence came to his mouth, he endured it again.Song Runqing couldn't predict the future, so naturally he didn't know what she meant. Seeing her smile, he followed suit and said, "You don't see that my uncle doesn't have any hobbies. Even if you like these two cups, the money is very limited." Qingqiu said: "Uncle was drinking like that yesterday, can he write poetry?" Song Runqing said: "What are you doing? Of course you want to write poetry." Qingqiu said: "Did uncle copy all these people's poems? Show me the manuscripts of your poems." Song Runqing said: "My own poems are here, I didn't copy theirs." Qingqiu said: "Am I not reading enough of Uncle's poems? I want to read those What do people do?" Song Runqing said: "It's okay not to read their poems. I have two poems written by Yanxi here, which are not bad." When he was talking, he felt in his bag for a while and took out A volume of manuscripts, handed over to Qingqiu.Qingqiu said: "Why is this word in my uncle's handwriting?" Song Runqing said: "It was originally copied by me." Qingqiu read the poem once, holding a handkerchief in his hand, propping his chin, and nodded. nod.Seeing that Yanxi's poems are clear and straight, it seems that they are not below her uncle's.Song Runqing said: "What do you think, how is it better than your uncle?" Qingqiu smiled and said: "The writing skills are the same, but the diction is more beautiful than uncle." Not as good as others." After finishing speaking, he smiled and left.

When Qingqiu read the poem, he felt that he didn't have enough meaning, and wanted to share a poem with him.Going back to the house, he went to the desk and was about to start writing and inkstone, when he suddenly saw a letter lying on the pen stand, which read: Please hand over to Yu Zhan, Miss Leng Qingqiu, the handwriting is exactly Yanxi's handwriting.Seeing this, I couldn't help but thump in my heart.I thought, this must have been brought by the wet nurse.How she did this absurd thing, put it on the table.If my mother sees this and asks about it, how will I answer it?When she was thinking this way, she had already taken the letter in her hand and put it in her bag.After a look, there was no one outside the house, so she lay on the bed and took out the letter to read. Although her eyes were on the letter, her ears could hear any noise outside the window?She slowly tore open the letter with her hands, and a burst of fragrance rushed into her nostrils.Pulled out was a piece of water-red foreign letter paper, surrounded by densely packed small lines and dots. The words were written in blue ink, which set off very nicely.The letter is written in Chinese, and I copied the two poems just now, please advise.Qingqiu felt that he was too polite, and it was inhumane to keep ignoring him, so he also wrote an eight-line poem, praising his poems.After the letter was written, it was wrapped in an envelope, and it was marked that Mr. Jin Yanxi had personally signed it.But although the letter was written, I had no idea of ​​sending it.Just stuff that letter under the pillow too.Ordinarily, it would be the safest thing to let Mother Han give it away, but I was too embarrassed to take it out.If it is delivered to the post office in person, let it be mailed.I thought, my uncle often goes there, if he doesn't know, just put the letter on the table casually, it will be inconvenient for my uncle to see the handwriting by chance.After thinking about it for a long time, there was no good plan, so she called Han Ma and said: "Nurse, come here." Han Ma rolled up her shirt sleeves, wet her hands, walked into the room, smiled and said to Qingqiu: "I I'm doing laundry, girl, what do you want me to do?" Qingqiu paused for a while before speaking, and then swallowed it back.He also said, "I'm very thirsty. You can make a pot of water from that chrysanthemum and drink it." Mother Han said, "Oh! You are lying down and have nothing to do, so you can make it yourself." When she said that, she wiped her hands with her apron , was about to open the cupboard to get chrysanthemums.Qingqiu said: "Don't take it, you won't have to worry about it. Mom has tea here. I'll just go and drink herbal tea." ?” Qingqiu said with a smile: “Aren’t you afraid of trouble? It saves you trouble.” Mother Han couldn’t figure out what was going on in her mind, so she went out again.

Yanxi wrote two letters over there, but didn't see any response, and didn't follow up to reply. I don't know why.After waiting for a while in the morning, Han's mother did not come. In the afternoon, I wanted to show my father the poem, so I went home by car.First he fooled around in his own study room for a while, then he went to the upper room to find his father, and only entered the moon gate, and saw Meili walking from the west courtyard with a flower basket of Chiba pomegranate flowers threaded with copper wire, smiling.Yanxi said: "Hey! Where did this flower basket come from? It looks like a fireball from a distance." Meili smiled and said: "Today is the birthday of the third sister-in-law's old aunt, don't you know?" Yanxi said: " Don't talk nonsense, an old man in her fifties or sixties wants you to give her such a bright red thing? If a person in her twenties gets married, it may be used in the new house." Mei Li said: "Aunt Wang's Li, why do you want me to give it to you? I gave this flower basket to sister Zhaoxia." Yanxi smiled and said, "Yes, Zhaoxia from her family is very compatible with you. It's her mother's birthday, what is it if you give her a flower basket What do you mean?" Meili said: "Don't you know? Her family has a play today. There are many people in our family going." Yanxi laughed and said, "You must be one of them." Meili said: " It’s just a show. I heard that there are some sets of Japanese tricks. I must go and see. I haven’t seen Zhaoxia for a long time. I met today. I will give her a basket to make her happy. Seventh brother, do you want to go too? Don't you want to call sister Xiuzhu?" Yanxi said: "Why can't you forget her?" Meili smiled and said: "Are you two really annoyed? Let me see how long you will be annoyed?" Yanxi said lightly She smiled and said, "Look!" Then she asked, "Where is Dad, do you know?" Mei Li said, "I don't know what's going on today. I went out early in the morning and haven't come back yet." Yanxi laughed. "That's great." When he said that, he handed a paper bag in his hand to Meili, and said, "Dad is back, you just give this to him, and say that I brought it back." Meili said: " You probably just came back, are you going to leave again?" Yanxi said: "I don't want to go, I'm still looking for Sixth Sister." Meili said: "Go back to the palace to listen to the opera, shall we go together?" Yanxi said Said: "I'm not sure when I will go, maybe I won't go."

As he said that, he actually came to Runzhi's yard.Here are two of her sisters, one is an American student and the other is a French student, both of whom have Western habits.Therefore, their diet and daily life are also Europeanized. Outside their house is a corridor with green lacquer railings. Inside the corridor, there is a hanging bed on one side and a movable chair on the other, which is set up for her sisters to read books here.There used to be several tennis rackets hanging on the whitewashed wall, but now they are gone.Yanxi guessed that her elder sister and her son must have gone to play tennis in the back yard.At this time, there must be no one in the house, thinking to myself, steal one or two things they like, and play jokes on them.Open the door and go in, and it's really quiet inside.When I went to Runzhi's house, I saw many postcards in a small silver net tray on her desk. When I picked it up, I saw an ancient theater, a statue of Liberty, and many great buildings. Taste.On the letter paper, there are English words printed in red, indicating the scenery of Rome, but looking at the other side, it is a letter from Fang You, Runzhi's fiancé.There are letters in French and Chinese, and the date is marked on Saturday.In this way, it is about sending a letter back every week.Yanxi didn't know French, so she threw away the French letter and picked a Chinese letter to read.That one reads: Lusha: Today I visited the Colosseum. I can't describe the grandeur of the building.But it is not good that many people regard Rome as a model of world architecture.I think man-made and natural, each has its own uniqueness, but this is the only way, so it is in line with art.I wish you good health!

You Bai The word Lusha is Runzhi's French name.Fang You turned it over and translated it into Chinese.Such a direct writing of famous foreign essays, he thought it was an expression of love for each other.Then I looked at another picture: Lusha: Today I went to the barbershop on Kaizier Road again.Of course, you have to suspect that I am not going to get a haircut or a shave, but a manicure.But I want to tell you a piece of good news, the loving manicure woman I mentioned before, she has been dismissed by the shop owner.Today's new female worker, I guess she is a dancer in a low-end hotel, I dare not mess with her.Write a blog and you smile.I wish you peace of mind!your honest friend

After reading it, Yanxi envied their sweet and interesting love writing, and thought it would be good to learn from him.He simply picked them up one by one to read, and they were in Chinese, and he didn't miss a single one.Just as he was enjoying watching, he heard footsteps outside the yard, which seemed to be Runzhi's return.He quickly dropped the letter and greeted him.I saw Runzhi wearing white sportswear, walking up and down the stone steps, and the young lady from Jiangsu, Anan, came in all the way with a tennis net and racket.Yanxi said: "Sixth Sister, who are you playing with, and why did you come back alone?" Runzhi pointed at A'nan and said, "I'll play with her." Yanxi smiled at A'nan: "Well, you also Can you play ball?" As Nan put down her things, she smiled and said, "Miss Six wants to play ball, and no one is with her, so I have no choice but to play." Yanxi said: "I dare not compete with Sister Fifth and Sister Six. Yes, since you can do it too, great, I have to learn." Runzhi supported the pillars in the corridor with one hand, and held the tulle top with the other hand, facing the wind to enjoy the cool.Hearing Yanxi's words, he squinted at him and smiled and said, "It's up to you?" Yanxi said, "Sixth sister's words despise me to the extreme. I can't beat you two brave generals. Could it be that your men One..." Runzhi hurriedly said: "Anan, he laughed at you as an unknown soldier, you and him have a try." Yanxi was happy for a while, and said: "Okay! Try it." Anan said to Looking at Yanxi, she smiled, but didn't make a sound.Seeing that she was not timid, Yanxi came over and picked up a racket in her hand, patted Ah Nan's shoulder lightly, and said, "Go! I'll try it." Runzhi rolled his right eye at Ah Nan. She pinched it, and said with a smile: "Anan, fight for a little bit, don't lose to the whole Gemu." With a smile, Anan took the racket and came all the way to the back yard, Runzhi followed See later.The two set up nets on the light green grass.Let Ah Nan serve the ball first, but Ah Nan showed her skills when she didn't want to, and sent the ball to Yanxi in a proper way.Yanxi saw that the racket she was serving was very natural, she didn't pick it up, but held it flat, and then sent it off. She expected that the ball would fall three steps away from her, and Ah Nan might not be able to catch up.Unexpectedly, she had expected that Yanxi would act like this, her body leaped forward, her braid like black silk tassels was swaying in the wind, just as light as a frightened bird, she took two steps forward , stand still.He stretched out his hand to toss the ball, and gently and quietly sent it across the net.When Yanxi was about to catch it, the ball landed in the grass and only rolled a few times, without jumping high.So Yanxi only moved a step, then stopped.Turning around, he shrugged and smiled at Runzhi.Runzhi smiled and said, "Who told you to kill when you come here? Don't you believe in the saying that there are no weak soldiers under a strong general?" Ah Nan held a racket in one hand and smoothed her temple hair with the other, smiling at Yanxi "Qiye, let's play it safe! Don't make such a fuss." Yanxi smiled and nodded.But he was eager to win in his heart, and to hide the shame of talking big, he did not hesitate to use violent means.The second time Ah Nan served the ball, he used all his energy to face the ball with the racket, and threw it from top to bottom, intending to throw it directly on the ground to avenge the shame of the ball just now.Unexpectedly, he exerted too much force, neither high nor low, he was hitting the top of the net, if he was two inches higher, he would have passed.When Yanxi saw the situation, it was absolutely impossible to win.In this case, at most, both sides will have no victory or defeat.I thought, if I really lost, I would be a bit self-conscious, so I took advantage of Runzhi's laughter, threw the racket, and said to Ah Nan with a smile: "I lost to you today, I have to hurry to see it." It's a show, let's come back to the game in a day." On the grass, he picked up his clothes, put them on his arms, and ran away.

Run Zhi smiled and said: "He is so boring. No matter he plays chess or cards, he will talk big when he wins, and run away when he loses." Yanxi ran two steps, turned around again, and said with a smile: "What are you busy with? There is time to spend. I can come again one day, does this count as my loss?" Run Zhi smiled and said, "I know, you are not losing your mind, you are not losing your breath." Yanxi said: "I have already admitted that I have lost, and I still have to give up." Can't you? I have something to ask of you, please do me a favor." Run Zhi said with a smile: "What's the matter, do you want to study French?" Yan Xi said: "You know, I didn't do it on purpose. Make trouble." Runzhi said: "I really don't know? Probably there is no money to spend, and I want to ask for money for you." Yanxi said: "No." Runzhi said: "What else do you need Playing all day long, isn’t it enough?” Yanxi wanted to say, but when she saw A’nan was there, she paused, and then said, “Will you go to the Wangjiatang play today?” Runzhi said, “I don’t Go, what does this have to do with helping you?" Yanxi said: "You don't know, I have a girlfriend, and she also wants to go to the theater. I think it's another house, I can send her in. It's the Wang family. They also know our dog, so how can we pretend to be it? I'll introduce it to you later, and say it's your friend. Let you take her there. Do you think it's okay?" Runzhi smiled and said, "You On the dance floor again, which social star do you know?" Yanxi said: "Stop talking nonsense. She is a well-behaved female student." Runzhi said: "A well-behaved female student, how do you know?" Yanxi Xidao: "Her uncle is a member of our poetry club, and she lives in her uncle's house. Tell me, can I know him or not?" Runzhi said: "Mei Li, you don't know how to call Mei Li Take her?" Yanxi said: "I'm afraid Meili will go with her mother, I don't want her to know." Run Zhi said: "In this way, it is still an improper action. If it is a proper action, why are you afraid of your mother? Do you know?" Yanxi said: "I don't need to say it, you will know when I introduce you to her later." Runzhi said: "Don't you know that I don't like to listen to operas? How can I sit still for hours? Fifth Sister is planning to go to Wang's house, you can go to her." He smiled and pointed forward.Min Zhi was taking a suit book, just came in from the outside, and sat on the movable chair.Then he asked: "What are you pointing at me for? Trouble you, do you want him to trouble me?" Yanxi replied on behalf of Runzhi: "It's not a trouble. If you go to Wang's house, please take me with you." Just go to the theater by yourself." Then he repeated what he said just now.Minzhi thought that Yanxi liked to work hard in front of women.Maybe someone just said something casually, and he agreed wholeheartedly.Now it is inconvenient to send it by myself, so I have to come to ask for help.He said: "Okay, I'll save face for you, I'll wait at home, you can lure her here." Yanxi was very happy when she heard this, shook hands with his sister, turned around and ran away.Min Zhi scolded with a smile: "Look at how incompetent you are!" Yanxi ignored her, and took the car as before, returning to the circle alley.After sitting at home for a while, he came to Leng's house and said to Mrs. Leng: "Auntie, my fifth sister wants to invite Miss Leng over to talk, because my in-law has a play at home, and I want to go to the play with her." Mrs. Leng said: "Ah! How can it be done? She is a child and doesn't know any etiquette. If she comes to your house, shouldn't she lose her manners?" Yanxi said: "Auntie, don't be too polite, she is very casual Yes. My fifth sister, that person is a casual person. She just came back from the United States not long ago. I’m afraid she doesn’t know the etiquette that Ms. Leng understands. The fifth sister also said that she will call a car in a while Answer, so let me talk first." Mrs. Leng heard that Yanxi's sister came to pick Qingqiu up for a conversation, and she was a little bit willing, and then she heard that Yanxi's fifth sister was a student studying in the United States, so she asked Qingqiu to make such a girlfriend , is also good, so he agreed.
