Chapter 4 The third message

At this time, He Jianchen saw that his face was full of spring, and thought that this gentleman is a bit of a demon, so let me fool him.Yin asked, "I called you just now, where did you go?" Yang Xingyuan replied casually, "I went to my friend's house." He Jianchen said: "Something is wrong?" Yang Xingyuan smiled and said: "I tell you the truth, I went to Liyun's place, and I heard a lot of news." He then briefly talked about what he saw and heard. .He Jianchen said: "It's all about Qin Jiuye. This teacher who teaches in the big forest is interesting. No wonder the teachers in colleges and universities are all a group of love seeds. I'm afraid there are endless romantic cases." Yang Xingyuan said: " These passers-by, of course, try their best to use the word "sensuality", but I don't think they are necessarily good at the word "romantic." He Jianchen said: "You expect Tao Qingfengyue, is it our group of famous fighters who did it? In fact, they made a bad mouth , It’s even worse than ours, let me show you two poems.” Yang Xingyuan finished reading and said, “Where did you get this poem? I’m afraid it’s from the flower newspaper?”

He Jianchen said: "Although the flower newspaper is full of obscene words, I dare not make it so obvious. It was published in the supplement of the research newspaper, and it was specially introduced by a writer." Yang Xingyuan said: "How can there be such an obscene beauty in the world? Maybe this poem is a bit too much?" He Jianchen said: "What beauty? I know the woman he sang about very well. She is only in the big forest. In terms of value, she is no more than a third-class person. So a pen for a literati is also The most unbalanced thing, every thing, can be raised to the sky, and suppressed to the earth. It seems that Li Yun in your eyes at this time, in your opinion, is a perfect beauty, but in fact... "Speaking of this, He Jianchen held back.Yang Xingyuan said: "How about it?" He Jianchen smiled and said: "I won't say it, you will be unhappy if I do." Yang Xingyuan said: "It's a joke, she is not who I am, whether she is good or not, she is the same as me What's the matter." He Jianchen said: "Do you really want me to tell you? Let me tell you, her eyebrows are pale and not beautiful, her face is thin and not moist, her body is small but not slender, her waist is not graceful." Yang Xingyuan laughed. : "Come on, come on, it's not as good as this one." He Jianchen said: "What do I say, aren't you unhappy? Brother! I want to advise you a word of advice today. In this joke scene, we are happy by chance It's okay to just play around and walk around. If you seriously talk about love with sister Yao, then your future is in danger beyond words. To put it more seriously, even if your life is in danger, you don't know. Spend money to be angry, That's still a very small matter. As for Liyun, I know she is an innocent child, and her madam is very powerful. Recently, because of family problems, she went back to Shanghai for more than a month. Ah in Liyun's house Mao, is her best friend, who has been entrusted by her. Greeting Liyun in the open, but monitoring her in secret, I see that situation, martial law has been imposed on you. If the madam of Liyun comes, you will be even tighter. I'm sure it's three hundred and five hundred, and you ask for it. We are so poor, how can we have such a big deal? If you don't go, she won't be able to ask for it. The heart of these madams is of course asking for money, but this is still a second choice. The first thing is to not allow prostitutes to have true love with customers. You are so gentle and considerate to Li Yun, which is breaking her taboo. In their eyes, only dignitaries and nobles are offended. It is nothing to offend poor literati like you and me. If you don’t Hurry up and wake up, troubles are coming soon."

Yang Xingyuan was speechless after hearing what He Jianchen said.Think about it carefully, why am I so confused this time as a person who has never set foot in Hualiu before? Besides, I don’t have much income.When he thought about it like this, he really left Li Yun behind. It was she who called to look for him. Whether it was in the newspaper office or in the guild hall, when he called someone back, he always told her that she was not at home.Perseverance with this kind of perseverance lasted only a week.He suddenly received a registered letter from Benjing. It was a big thick package. When he opened it, he found that there was not a single word, only a lake-colored silk handkerchief and a four-inch photo.The little shadow on this photo is none other than Li Yun who has not been abandoned for a long time.When he saw these two things, he turned his head around and thought: "Her appearance of a little bird is already something I can't help but feel pity for. In terms of this example, it seems that she should not be so decisive. Besides, she has never used any means against me!" Looking at the small photo again, it is petite and charming, and Yu Fang still has the handkerchief, thinking: "She treated me If I still fall in love like this, I ignore it, and I cannot justify it in my conscience." So he put this problem in his heart, thought about it all night, but couldn't solve it, went to the newspaper office at night, and told He Jianchen privately about it.He smiled and said: "If your Zen mind is already covered with mud, you can treat these things as evil spirits and heretics, ignore them all, and naturally have a clean heart. Emotions are like flowing water, and there are holes for people. If you can't solve it like this, It is a gap with people."They were talking here, and Yang Xingyuan called.

Yang Xingyuan picked up the microphone and heard it sounded like a woman's voice, saying she was talking to Mr. Yang.Yang Xingyuan said: "My surname is Yang." At this point, there was a pause, and another woman spoke.Asked: "Are you Master Yang?" He replied: "Yes, my surname is Yang." The other side said: "I am very busy with business. Aren't you not at home every day? Why didn't you go out today?" Yang Xingyuan heard the voice and knew it was Li Yun, so she deliberately asked Who.The other side said: "Who am I, you ask? Whoever you forget, I am who. Hmph! You really can pretend to be confused." Yang Xingyuan laughed unknowingly after hearing these words.Li Yun said: "Did you receive the things I gave you?" Yang Xingyuan said: "Yes.

Thank you. "Li Yun said:" You don't have to thank me, if I have nothing to offend you, I invite you to come and sit down. If you are busy with business, or don't want to come to a dirty place like ours, then you don't dare to force it, so I have to listen to you. "These few words, neither soft nor hard, made Yang Xingyuan unable to answer. After thinking about it, he replied: "Okay, I'll come back later." "Li Yun giggled on the phone for a while, and said: "Then, I'll wait for you, see you later. "Yang Xingyuan hung up the phone, He Jianchen had already listened to it, and just smiled at Yang Xingyuan. Yang Xingyuan said hesitantly: "There is no other way, let's perfunctory again. "It's only eleven o'clock after the manuscript is compiled, and Yang Xingyuan will take He Jianchen with him. He Jianchen said: "I have to wait for an important order, I can't leave now, you go first, and I will be there later. "

Yang Xingyuan couldn't help each other, so he had to go out first.I felt a gust of cold wind blowing on my face, blowing the dense light raindrops all over my body, and the electric lights on the street were shining coldly, and I saw that the ground was covered with mud.There are few pedestrians on the street, only a few broken rubber cars, dragging on the muddy ground.After a while, I arrived at the Songzhu Class, and it was very deserted inside. Li Yun had already picked him up from the room, and said with a smile: "Master Yang is here, this is unexpected." Yang Xingyuan didn't argue with her, but Smiling, he walked into the room with her hand.The situation of regaining the lost joy is full of ups and downs, and all flavors are available.At this time, Amao poured a cup of tea, handed it to Yang Xingyuan, and said with a smile: "Miss Seven is young and ignorant, so Master Yang needs to take care of her." Li Yun said with a smile: "Yes, take care of her, don't put on airs too much what!"

Yang Xingyuan smiled and said: "Heavenly conscience, such a rotten road, I ran here, or put on airs?" The aunt said: "This is also true. Our place is clear today." Li Yun said: "When the weather is windy and rainy, people don't want to live in Beijing. I think no one will come to Beijing if there is no president. I am a ghost, and I will go back to Suzhou in the future. "Yang Xingyuan said: "Are you a slut?" Liyun said: "How do you know?" Yang Xingyuan said: "This is what Jian Chen told me. He said he asked many girls where they are from, and they must say It's Suzhou; when asked where it is in Suzhou, she will definitely say it's Dangkou. It seems to be a rule that a girl's hometown must be Suzhou Dangkou. In fact, I have been to Dangkou, but it's a silk and rice seller in the countryside. There is no special advantage in being a small town. Could it be that this is like opening a dim sum shop, and must be the signboard of Maodaoxiang Village?" Li Yun said: "I don't believe what you say, and I have never told anyone that I am a slut. "

Yang Xingyuan said: "Where are you from?" Li Yun said: "I'm from Suzhou city." Said, that Amao winked at her, Li Yun understood, and said with a smile: "I went to Shanghai when I was young, I can't remember that." Yang Xingyuan saw Li Yun's hesitant situation, and remembered what He Jianchen said. Said that Auntie Niang's words about spying on Li Yun secretly felt right.Bian said: "It's no wonder. I studied in Suzhou seven or eight years ago, but now I don't remember much except the Huqiu Hanshan Temple." Li Yun said: "What do you think is the most interesting place in Suzhou? "Yang Xingyuan said: "Then it is Tianping Mountain. Huqiu is strangely located in the middle of the plain, with a small hill protruding from it. Big and small stones. Like Taoranting Pavilion in Beijing, but a mound with an empty name. When we were in the south, we thought that this pavilion must have some scenery. After visiting it once, we don’t want to do it again.” Pear Yundao: "According to what you said, you have lived in Suzhou for a long time."

Yang Xingyuan said: "Before I was fifteen years old, I was almost always in Nanchang. After I was fifteen years old, I had a great time running around in the northern and southern provinces. Compared with Suzhou, I lived a little more." Li Yun said: "Speaking of Nanchang, I ask you Do you recognize a person?" Yang Xingyuan asked: "Who is it?" Li Yun said: "Her name is Lin Yanxi, almost everyone in Jiangxi in Beijing knows it." Yang Xingyuan said: "What did you say? Is it her? This is what you are asking, she is still my neighbor when I was young. People from Jiangxi in Beijing praise her very much because of their fellow countrymen, but she is incorrigible." Li Yun said: "Why is it incurable?" Yang Xingyuan said: "This is fundamental. When I was in Nanchang, I was studying in an elementary school. Not far away, there was a girls' school, and Lin Yanxi was in that girls' school. When I was in school, I met her six or seven times out of ten." Li Yun said with a smile, "Then, are you two related?" Yang Xingyuan said, "I was young at that time, and the relationship between the two I can't say a word. But I know her history. Her surname is Li, and her name is Ping. We met. Later, Yanxi’s father died, and she stayed at her grandmother’s house. When her grandmother saw how pitiful she was, she sent her to school. After three years of studying, it was time for her to be mischievous. Neighborhood She knew a few students in Fazheng School very well. She felt that she was bound by a great bondage when she was engaged when she was young, and she was very unhappy. Later, someone spread the news of her marriage to the ears of her classmates, saying that Li Ping My Hesband is a little apprentice." Li Yun laughed and said, "Why is there a black silk bench here?" Yang Xingyuan said: "This is a foreign dialect, which means husband, not a bench. When female students and classmates talk about their husbands, they always call them this way, because everyone is a girl, and it is embarrassing to talk about husband or husband, so I find a foreign word to replace it." Li Yun said: "I understand What happened later?" Yang Xingyuan said: "The female students who are studying in the school are called Miss. Those who have husbands are not young masters, but they are also students. Those who don't have husbands, let alone, who doesn't want to marry something Now Li Ping's husband is only a young apprentice, so you can imagine the pain in his heart. However, there are a few harsh classmates who deliberately said in front of her, "Ms. Li, in the future, I have to wear clothes. The family will open It’s Buzhuang.’ Hearing these few words, Li Ping felt as if her heart was being dug out by a knife. When she went to bed at night, she often cried until dawn. When she woke up early in the morning, her eyes were always red. Her uncle also noticed it slowly. He complained to his mother, saying, "You shouldn't have sent your niece to a girls' school.I can't read a few words when I say it, but what I say is family tyranny, barbaric times, freedom or death!I thought, feed her, dress her, read to her, such a family is said to be autocratic and barbaric.If I have to study for another two years, maybe my family will become hers, and she will drive me away. When his mother heard this, she got angry and stopped studying for Li Ping, and locked her at home. How could she bear this crime? In less than three months, she sneaked to Jiujiang with a student of law and politics.The student at the head had some money and took her to live in the inn, but when the money ran out, the student also ran away, leaving her alone in Jiujiang.She wants to go back, she has no face to face people!Don't go back, where is a young woman going?What's more, the food money in the inn was chased hard, so there was nothing to say.At this time, an old neighbor came to Nanchang and lived in this inn. When he saw her, he said she was pitiful, and he returned her inn money, and said: He has a relative In Hankou, you can go there to stay for a few days, and then try to write a letter to her uncle to pick her up.

She believed it was true, and she went to Hankou with him, and since then fell into the pit of fire.I don't know much about what happened after she arrived in Hankou, but I seem to have heard that she came to Beijing after only doing business for one year.As the saying goes: "Things are rare, they are expensive." A girl from Jiangxi in Beijing is considered a rare thing. Besides, Lin Yanxi knows a few words and hangs a signboard of student background. Naturally, business will not be bad. Some boring literati, who had nothing to do after eating, wrote a lot of poems for her and sent them to the flower newspaper for publication. Sister Lang Lang made a mess. Some curious people heard that she could write poems, and there were many more to pay their respects to. Prosperous. As a result, Lin Yanxi's business is just as usual, and her net worth has risen, and her expenses have also increased. In less than two years, she has been in a mess. If she wants to stop now, she can't. In the future It's even more serious when you get older every year."

Li Yun smiled and said: "If you don't say it, then you don't say it. Once you say it, it's like a chatterbox. Thanks to your investigation so clearly." At this point, Ah Mao went outside the room. Li Yun sighed Said: "This kind of person is also self-inflicted, like me, it is really bad luck. I can't see anything. When a girl is either at a loss, she can't get out, or she sells her body to others to be a concubine for the sake of loss. The word "deficiency" is the end." Yang Xingyuan said with a smile: "Then, of these two, which one do you want?" Li Yun said: "Where you go, that's all, that's for sure." Yang Xingyuan was about to answer, only to hear a burst of heavy rain outside like a tidal wave.A flash of lightning illuminated the outside of the window, and I watched the raindrops on the tiles falling like a rope.Then a big thunderbolt rumbled, and it seemed to fall outside the courtyard, shaking the windows so much that they couldn't move.Li Yun said "Ouch", grabbed Yang Xingyuan's clothes and leaned against her tightly, Yang Xingyuan was also startled.But at this moment, the electric light went out again, and it was dark before the eyes, and I heard the sound of rain outside the window, rushing past in bursts.Li Yun became more and more frightened, and sat down tightly against Yang Xingyuan, not daring to move.It took about five minutes for the light to come on, and Auntie had been in for a long time without making a sound.Feeling embarrassed, Yang Xingyuan pushed Li Yun away, and said with a smile, "I haven't seen such a big man, and I'm afraid of thunder. It's what you people from Jiangsu say, and you have a temper." Hanging low, he faced the mirror and used his hands to straighten his temple hair.He said with a smile: "There was heavy thunder and heavy rain, and the short-lived electric lights were all extinguished. It was dark, like a sea boat encountering strong winds and waves! How can people not be afraid? I said that people should be afraid of thunder, because If you are afraid of it, you dare not do harm to others." At this point, she turned around and asked Amao, "Is it right?" Aunt fucked Su Bai and replied: "It's quite right!" Yang Xingyuan only pretended to be confused, He rambled around and said a lot of words to confuse this incident.Yin said: "The rain is light, let me go." The aunt said: "It's still early, what are you busy with?" Yun said: "I'll see you later." After finishing speaking, he didn't stop, and went back by car in the rain.When I entered the room, there were four or five letters under the lamp. When I opened them, they were all unimportant.There is a letter in it, which was sent by Wu Bibo from the school, and it says: My brother in Xingyuan: After a farewell outing, spring is waning again.In the afternoon class and free time, I read Tang poems under the window, and I was always fascinated by the lines such as apricot blossoms, snow and little peach red.Then a pair of butterflies flew from outside the wall and passed by the window, as if they were proud to show off to our peers because they came from among the flowers.I heard that the lilacs in Daoquan Temple are in full bloom, and they haven't thanked them yet. I plan to visit my brother's apartment tomorrow afternoon, and go there for a half-day tour together.Hope to prepare money for the battle, Xiaohou, don't make bees and butterflies laugh at others. Bibo paused and Yang Xingyuan finished reading the letter, thinking: "People who live in the back city have such a leisurely mood. I'm only a little way away from Daoquan Temple, but I forgot about it. I can't say, I'll play with him for half a day tomorrow." There was nothing to say all night. Yang Xingyuan didn't go out the next day, but waited for Wu Bibo at home.At one o'clock, it did come.Yang Xingyuan said: "I haven't seen the lilacs in Daoquan Temple for two years. I didn't go to the Tathagata Thousand Years Meeting held there last year. Now that I think about it, it's a pity." Wu Bibo said: "What a shame! It's all a trick for monk Fapo to get money, so don't watch it.Because of Xiong Fenghuang's relationship, he gradually became acquainted with many political figures, and at that time, Bodhisattva Li and Madman Zhang were all good Buddhas, so he took this opportunity to knock him out in general Big stick.It's really a politician's method, and it's not as thoughtful as he is.Not to mention anything else, the rent in front of and behind the temple is an annual income of 1,000 yuan.He collects all of them, doesn't need a big one, and immediately lends them to the poor piecemeal, taking the two-cent interest, do you think it's hateful or not? " Yang Xingyuan said: "I don't believe it. How can a monk do such a thing? Besides, Fapo is also a famous monk. I heard that his poems are very good. It doesn't seem to be so unbearable?" Wu Bibo said: "He is a monk, and I have no enmity with him. Why should I create rumors about him? I have a relative who rented a house in his temple, so I know it well. This monk also has a strange temper. He takes silver dollars. To exchange coins, he always had to go to several money shops before he was willing to exchange them, for fear of losing money. After the coins were used up, his rotten steel-covered newspaper was still neatly arranged, and he put it in his pocket and took it home for collection. Get up, collect too much, four or five cents a catty, and sell it to the shredded paper collector. He will never take the whole pile of shredded paper to exchange for lamps, saying that it is too bad. I think this monk, I don’t know, Is it turbid or not, and I don’t know which mountains and rivers in Hunan are affected by the hostility, which gave birth to such a monster?” Yang Xingyuan laughed and said: “The monk loves money so much, why should he become a monk? I think what you said is always a bit exaggerated.” Wu Bibo said: "I'm not arguing with you, we can meet him if we want to. Once you see him, you will be amazed." They stopped debating and came to Daoquan Temple.As soon as they arrived at the door, a monk in his forties came out to greet them with a smile.As soon as they entered the second gate, they seemed to smell a burst of fragrance, and then looked at the courtyard, the green cover was reopened, the white clouds were cut and cut, and the lilac flowers were half withered.Yang Xingyuan said: "Ah! We came at the wrong time." Hearing this, the monk thought they were going to leave, so he hurriedly greeted them and said, "Please have a cup of tea, both of you. Although the flower has withered, the fragrance that has not dissipated is better than when the flower is in full bloom." It smells good." Before Yang Xingyuan could answer, two people went out next to each other, and a young monk followed, holding dozens of copper coins in his hand, showing it to the senior monk, but pointing his hand at the person walking ahead. Two people.The great monk asked, "How much is this?" The little monk said: "Three coins for hanging money." The big monk put on a straight face, and scolded the shadows behind the two people who were leaving: "Steep! How shameless!" The little monk said: "He doesn't count if he drinks tea , and ate us a plate of melon seeds and a plate of peanut kernels. This money can only be regarded as tea money. Didn’t we lose money? Look at his air, he looks like he can spend three to five yuan, who knows he drank it After eating, give these coppers." The elder monk said to the younger monk: "When you meet this group of hooligans in the future, it's better not to greet him. "Yang Xingyuan listened to him and ignored him, pointing to a tree and said to Wu Bibo: "This is an old tree, do you know that? "Before Wu Bibo answered, the monk turned his face and said with a smile: "This is a tree planted in the Ming Dynasty. you know? He talked and laughed, and led Yang and Wu into the small living room.The living room is an open room with three bays, and there are some calligraphy and paintings on the walls, but there are three sets of tables and chairs in a row, which looks like a restaurant.When they entered the living room, the little monk didn't care about anything, he just put out fruit plates, made tea, and was so busy that he just slipped in and out.Yang Xingyuan said softly to Wu Bibo: "Looking at it like this, it looks a bit compulsive. We probably won't be able to run away." Wu Bibo laughed and said, "I knew this would happen a long time ago." The monk was afraid that they wouldn't drink tea, He moved the chair, smiled all over his face, bowed his body, held his hand, and said to Yang and Wu, "please sit down!" They had to sit down.Yang Xingyuan chatted with the monk, because he asked the monk what his Dharma name was called.The monk stood aside, bowed and replied: "I dare not, it's the word Ciquan." Yang Xingyuan said, "Is your abbot Fapo at home?" Ciquan said, "I went to Premier Qian's mansion, and I'll probably be back soon. "Yang Xingyuan said: "People who have left home, why are they still so busy?" Ciquan said: "Amitabha, the income in the temple is too small, and there are many monks, so I have to be busy for the Buddha and Bodhisattva." Wu Bibo said: " I heard that in your temple, you can collect some rent, is this true?" Ciquan said: "Monks don't lie, there is a little bit, but collecting dozens of yuan a month, what's the use?" Said Then he pointed to the fruit dish on the table and said: "This is all clean, please use some." Yang Xingyuan couldn't be forced, so he had to grab a few melon seeds and lick them, then went to the yard to see the flowers.Wu Bibo also followed.I saw that under the lilac flower, many petals had fallen, and the residual flowers on the branches were illuminated by the sun, and they fell from the leaves of the tree to the ground one by one from time to time.At this time, a person suddenly shouted from behind: "Misto Wu." If you want to know who this person is, I will explain it next time.
