Chapter 45 The forty-fourth chapter of the three people facing each other, the setting sun is infinite, the mountains and the flute

Seeing it from the side, Shi Kelian thought to himself: All male and female friends, if they are together, they always discuss theories and argue, and no one talks about personal matters.I feel like there is no trace, but in fact it is too deep.Like cousin Yu Ruixiang, she and her lover are separated by oceans and thousands of miles away. They communicate with each other, and it seems that they only need to say some comforting words.But they write a letter of seven or eight or ten pages, nothing more than some idea, some theory, you agree with me, and I agree with you, it's so sloppy.Now looking at Yang Xingyuan and Li Dongqing's polite and high-spirited theory, it is exactly the same.Probably when the friendship between young men and women has reached seventy to eighty percent, it is inevitable to see each other often, and they have to be a little reserved when they meet, so they have to use the signboard of this theory as an introduction for two people to meet and talk.

Moreover, the purpose of the two people is not here, and it has nothing to do with their advocacy. Therefore, if you agree with me, I can also agree with you.Shi Kelian thought he was watching from the sidelines and was very clear.So she was on the sidelines, silently, but found it interesting, let's see how they ended up?Later, Li Dongqing talked for a long time, and felt that she was very sorry to leave Shi Kelian aside, so she often turned around and asked her a few words.Of course she nodded yes, totally agreeing.After sitting for a while, the sun looked westward and was only a few feet high.She kept it from Shi Kelian, so she told Li Dongqing that she wanted to go back.Li Dongqing thought that two people came together, and it seemed inappropriate for her to go alone first, so she said: "I will go too. Mr. Yang probably wants to go to your friend's side." Yang Xingyuan said: "My friend left early Now, I'm here alone, it's no fun." When he said that, he took out the money, met the tea money, and left Wulong Pavilion all the way.According to Yang Xingyuan, she wanted to hire a boat for them, Shi Kelian said: "I don't need to cross the sea, I just go out this back door." She and Li Dongqing walked side by side, Yang Xingyuan was two feet away, talking, walk slowly.When Yang Xingyuan heard that Shi Kelian had gone through the back door, she nodded with Shi Kelian and Li Dongqing, said goodbye, and went to the boat across the sea by herself.

The boat arrived at Yilan Hall on the south bank, walked ashore, and walked westward confidently.After passing the corridor, the willow bank is very quiet, with mountains behind and water in front.Because there are fewer people coming and going in this place, the grass on the road is deeper, and the lotus leaves by the water stretch straight to the shore.There is a willow tree on the bank that is half down, growing horizontally on the water, just blocking the sun in the west. Under the shade of the tree, there is a stone, which seems to be set up for fishermen.Yang Xingyuan thought this place was very interesting, so he sat on the stone to smell the fragrance of lotus.The breeze blowing on the water, shaking the sleeves of clothes, is very poetic.Thinking of Li Dongqing unconsciously from the poem, it is really not easy to find such a kind and graceful woman.Sometimes, the poems she writes are so beautiful that I will never be able to write them.Yang Xingyuan was sitting here, lost in thought, when suddenly someone behind him shouted, "Mr. Yang, are you here alone?" When Yang Xingyuan looked back, it was Li Dongqing.He smiled and said: "I love the quietness of this place, sit and look at the lotus." Li Dongqing said: "Aren't you afraid of the sun?" Only then did Yang Xingyuan wake up, the sun had already moved to the side of the willow tree, passing through the place where the wicker was thin , basking in the sun all by himself.He laughed and said, "Sitting here just now, I saw two red dragonflies on the water, drinking water there, and forgot about it."

Li Dongqing was talking to him, and slowly walked to the side of the rock, holding the flowered cloth umbrella in her hand, and sat down on the rock that Yang Xingyuan had just sat on.Yang Xingyuan asked: "Why did Ms. Li come here?" Li Dongqing said: "I sent Ms. Shi out of the back door, and I also came by boat from the north bank. When I got here, I also love the quietness of the west bank. Take a walk here." Yang Xingyuan said: "There is no fun in this day. In autumn, the mountain is covered with grass and fallen leaves. The willows on the bank are sparse, and the lotus leaves in the water are still a small half. At that time, when the setting sun shines here, and the insects are screaming in the grass, it will cleanse your mind and eliminate a lot of troubles." Li Dongqing smiled and said: "Mr. Yang's call made the sunset in autumn, I can really describe it. This is caused by a secluded person, and the world will be sunny again."

Yang Xingyuan said with a smile: "Not only do I dare not take the word Youren, but everyone in Beijing dare not take it. How many Youren live in this snobbery?" Li Dongqing also laughed: "Otherwise, the ancients How do you say, 'The crown is all over the capital, and the man is alone and haggard'?" Yang Xingyuan remembered a passage in "Suiyuan Poems".An old man said: "The setting sun is infinitely good, but it's just near dusk." The other explained: "Otherwise, God will take care of the grass, and the world will always be sunny at night." It is similar to this conversation.This is precisely because she is good at reading, so she said it casually without knowing it.I feel that all the characters in his life have a strict attitude, and without a few words, he can say that he is determined.At this time, Li Dongqing said these few words lightly, and he was completely convinced and completely agreed.Although some people say that every word spoken by a lover is bad, but he doesn't believe it.He said to Li Dongqing: "This statement can certainly refute my argument, but I am nothing more than a person who lives everywhere, how dare I pretend to be a haggard Jinghua."

Li Dongqing smiled and said: "I am not refuting Mr. Yang's argument." Yang Xingyuan was also afraid that she would misunderstand, so he quickly said: "Of course I am not refuting me." The two of them were so busy correcting it that they had nothing to say.Li Dongqing put away her umbrella, supported the stone, walked slowly to the water's edge, turned her head, and smiled unconsciously.Said to Yang Xingyuan: "Look at a shadow on the bank and a shadow in the water. This is exactly the opposite shadow forming three people." When she said that, she tilted her body, afraid of falling into the water, so she leaned back quickly so that she could fall on the bank .Standing beside her, Yang Xingyuan was also afraid that she would fall into the water, so she took a step forward, reached out to support her, and then supported her arm holding the umbrella.Li Dongqing took a step back before standing still.I was busy at the time, so I didn't pay attention to it, but I was embarrassed when I stopped, my face was flushed to the neck like it was poured with blood.Seeing that she was embarrassed, Yang Xingyuan felt embarrassed, thinking that if she didn't understand, wouldn't she call me frivolous?He took a step back and stood in a daze.Li Dongqing took out the handkerchief on the button, brushed it on his body a few times, then lowered his head and brushed his skirt, and said with a smile: "That's why those who know their fate don't stand under a rock wall." Yang Xingyuan also laughed: "That's why filial sons don't climb high , not in the depths." The two said a few words in Chen Shu before covering up their embarrassment.Yang Xingyuan said again: "Miss Li just said that the shadows form three people. I want the moon on the top, water on the bottom, and people in the middle. This is interesting." The setting sun shines on people, but it has a different kind of interest. Speaking of this, I will go back to what Mr. Yang said just now. Lin Luoye is the picture." Yang Xingyuan laughed and said, "Words of the same heart are as bad as orchids." Li Dongqing didn't seem to hear these words, so she opened the fan she was holding to catch a flying grass. Little yellow butterfly.When the butterfly flew south, she also chased it south, and when it disappeared, she let it go.Yang Xingyuan saw it and followed slowly from behind.Li Dongqing fanned his fan and said, "I'm sweating all over." Holding the umbrella in his hand, he pointed the tip of the umbrella to the ground, walked forward step by step, and slowly walked around the west bank, then said to Yang Xingyuan: "Yang Xingyuan Sir, is he going back to his apartment too?" Yang Xingyuan said, "I still want to take a walk here."

Li Dongqing said: "Then, I'll go first." She bent down and bowed, then walked towards the gate with a smile on her face. Yang Xingyuan watched her back and waited until she was gone, then sat down on an open chair by the side of the road.I thought to myself, why such a young person is so indifferent to everything in the world, I really don't understand.Her family seems to have a hidden scene, so she is forced to laugh everywhere, but I think there is nothing wrong with her, why is she so sparse?As far as the girlfriends she has made are concerned, there are many people who love and respect her, but she is only close to Shi Kelian, who cares about the actress.No wonder.Sitting alone on the open chair, I was stunned for a while, and suddenly saw something moving on the ground.When Dingqing looked carefully, it wasn't anything, it turned out that the sun was setting, and the moon's light was gradually brightening.The place where he was sitting was a big locust tree, the light of the moon fell from the leaves to the ground, when the tree moved, there seemed to be some thin shadows crawling around on the shallow grass.When Yang Xingyuan looked up, half of the moon was on the east side of the tree, and a few bigger stars beside the moon were shining silvery.

The blue sky has turned grayish white.I laughed, sitting here alone, what is the meaning, got up and looked at the gate. Walking to the stone bridge, leaning on the railing, and looking at the lotus for a while, suddenly a person reached out to caress his back, and when he looked back, it was Hua Boping.Yang Xingyuan smiled and said: "Master Secretary, long time no see." Hua Boping said with a smile: "Great writer and big reporter." Yang Xingyuan said: "Your Unified Preparatory Office is a very fashionable organization, and your salary is paid monthly. You three hundred Sixty yuan cash is enough, right? What are we, like female workers on the outside line, relying on a few fingers, how can we start from a big one?" Hua Boping pulled his clothes and said: "Let's go! I invite you to dinner. You looked for me twice, but you didn't meet. Today is a gift." Yang Xingyuan said: "I heard that you are in another place, and you have two more nominal errands, is it true? "Hua Boping said with a smile: "You are clean people, don't inquire about such despicable and dirty things. Let's go." Yang Xingyuan said: "No wonder you are busy, there are three yamen to arrive, so naturally there is no time." Hua Boping said : "Bullshit in the yamen! The organizing office goes there once a day, and the other two places, less than once in ten days." Yang Xingyuan said: "Then why are you so busy?" Hua Boping said: "In addition to playing four rounds, I couldn’t sit still in Huimin Restaurant. A few days ago, after eating, I was hesitant about where to go to have fun. Later, I got more acquaintances, parks and amusement parks, and I just wish I could have a separate time to socialize. After dinner, I went to the alley as usual, and I can’t go home until one o’clock. Do you think, how can I have time to find friends?” Yang Xingyuan said: “If you make trouble like this, it will not only affect the economy, but also hinder health. "Hua Boping frowned and said: "There is no way, if you don't go, someone will come looking for you." Yang Xingyuan said: "I heard that Bibo also got him a consultant, is it true?" "Hua Boping said:" It's true. "Yang Xingyuan said: "He is just a student. Your director doesn't know him, and there is no need to contact him. Why give him such a name? "Hua Boping said:" What is the name?One hundred yuan is now available for a month.Naturally, I don't know him, and I don't need to contact him. This is entirely because I promoted him. "Yang Xingyuan said: "As soon as you and Director Gui made a recommendation, did he agree? "Hua Boping said with a smile," this is really a joke.Our office originally had three to four hundred consultants. Some were hired by the director himself, some were insisted upon by representatives from various places, and some were recommended by top figures in various fields.The rest was billed and secretly reported by several politicians who ran errands with the director.In the end, the director delivered the large list of lists to a confidential secretary, who wrote down the order clearly and approved by him.

But I was also in the office at that time, and the boss asked me to help with it. "Yang Xingyuan said: "Who is the boss? " Hua Boping said with a smile: "The boss is the director. Our colleagues are used to saying that. When the confidential secretary was typing up the list, he added four or five names privately. In fact, I didn't pay attention, but he was a guilty conscience. Tell me, this is the nephew of a rich man, the uncle of a rich man, you have to add it, you have to go and tell the boss. Why don't you add a name and get him at least one hundred yuan a month. I will say : "My name, how can I add it?Isn't that a joke? ’ He said: “Who wants your name, cat or dog, you can write whatever you want.” I said: “Is it okay to just write one randomly? ’ He said; ‘It’s almost scribbled to the end, you can open one of your relatives and friends.It would be even better if he was working in a public corporation. 'I heard him say that, thinking about Bibo's financial difficulties recently, and he is a member of the cultural alliance, why not get him?Therefore, a name was given to the confidential secretary, and his resume was stated.He readily agreed and put him on the list.At first I thought it might not be effective, but two days later, he really gave me a letter of engagement, saying that it had already stipulated a monthly transportation fee of 100 yuan.I took this letter and told Bibo, he thought I was joking with him. "

Yang Xingyuan and Hua Boping stood by the railing of the stone bridge and talked, forgetting what they were doing.It was not until he had finished speaking that Hua Boping reiterated his previous invitation to ask Yang Xingyuan to have dinner.Yang Xingyuan said: "I don't need to be polite to you, but now it's time for me to do something, and I can't delay any longer. If you invite me, change it to tomorrow." , I’ve only been there once, if you have the time, let’s go to Badachu together for a day, okay?” Yang Xingyuan said, “It’s not suitable for mountain climbing in this hot day.” Hua Boping said, “Let’s take a sedan chair. "Yang Xingyuan said: "Traveling in a sedan chair seems to be a bit of a joke. That kind of sedan chair, with two wooden poles and a rattan chair, is really like Jiangnan people carrying Bodhisattvas in the grass temple. , and uncomfortable."

Hua Boping said: "Then, instead of going up the mountain, stay in the hotel at the foot of the mountain, okay? I also have a new friend who built a new house in the middle of the mountain. I'm glad we can borrow a night there, and the next morning It’s okay to go home.” Yang Xingyuan said happily: "I haven't lived in the suburbs for many years. If you really go, I can accompany you." Hua Boping said: "I'm fine all day long. Why don't you go? You wait for me at home after breakfast tomorrow. I got a car to invite you." Yang Xingyuan said: "Okay, that's how to do it." Then he broke up with Hua Boping and went home. On the next day, Yang Xingyuan got up early and prepared all the manuscripts.For the editing of the manuscript, I called and entrusted a colleague to do it for a day.Before eleven o'clock, everything was ready, and he urged the long shift to have breakfast. After eating only one bowl of food here, Hua Boping walked in, followed by Wu Bibo.Yang Xingyuan said: "Very good, there are not too many or not. Have you all eaten?" Hua Boping pointed to Wu Bibo and said, "The meal in the big dining room of his dormitory is actually a well-equipped small restaurant." Restaurant. Being a college student in Beijing is really the most comfortable thing, everything is prepared for you.” Wu Bibo said: “You envy the student life very much, how about we change status?” Hua Boping said: “It’s helpless One cannot be a student for a lifetime, if one can be a student for a lifetime, who would not want to?" The two of them were joking, and Yang Xingyuan hurried to eat.After eating, he washed his face indiscriminately and urged the long class to make tea.After the tea was brewed and it was boiling hot, each of them poured a cup of tea, took it up and touched their lips, then put it down, and couldn't wait to drink it, so the three of them hurried out and boarded the car. The car left Fuchengmen, and in a short while, it came to the countryside.The road the car passed was planted with willow trees on both sides. Although there were gaps, they were not far away. The car was speeding in the green shade, and the breeze was blowing in, but it didn't feel hot.On both sides of the road, in people's fields, there are corn and sorghum planted, all of which are five or six feet high, and the green grass stretches far and wide as far as the eye can see.Yang Xingyuan said: "Look, this kind of sorghum field is really deep and hidden. The so-called green gauze tents can inevitably hide bandits." Wu Bibo said: "It was also at this time last year. A donkey, walking to such a place surrounded by sorghum, is really sweating." Yang Xingyuan said: "This is a big road, there are constant people coming and going, the bad guys can't hide, it doesn't matter." Wu Bibo said: " But it’s hard to say. I heard that a lady from a certain family rode a bicycle into the city, got away from her companion on the way, took off all the jewelry on her body, buried it under a willow tree pocket, made a secret mark, and then ran away. Go, I took a car the next day to dig things up." Yang Xingyuan smiled and said, "It's a good way, if there is a bad guy on the road, he is a woman, the Master is a dangerous product, didn't she expect that? "Speaking, I didn't realize that the car had traveled more than 20 miles.Xishan rises head-on, getting closer and closer.First, I saw a row of mountains, gradually separated into hills, gradually saw the houses on the mountain, gradually saw the trees on the mountain, a western-style building at the foot of the mountain, half hidden and half exposed in the shadow of the trees, the Xishan Hotel is already in sight. After a while, the car crossed a stone bridge over a dry river and stopped in the open space next to the hotel.There are also seven or eight cars parked here, lined up along the foot of the mountain.When everyone got out of the car, they could smell the fragrance of mountains, grasses and wild flowers.Quietly, I could hear the insects in the tall grass all around me, and I felt refreshed.Walking into the balcony at the entrance of the hotel, I saw that there were only four or five Chinese people under the teahouse, all of them were Westerners.At the table in the corner, a pot of tea was brewed, and seven people were sitting around them, all of whom were short and dressed in rough suits, chatting non-stop.Yang Xingyuan said to Hua Boping: "I hate it so much, let's go and sit over there." Then he walked forward.Outside the terrace is an open room with two tables, surrounded by a few short men in suits.Hua Boping knew that Yang Xingyuan was not willing, so he said: "Since we are here, we can go for a walk on the mountain first, and then come back to rest, okay?" Yang Xingyuan first agreed, and Wu Bibo did not object , the three of them walked through the small flower garden and plugged in the path.At this time, there was a man in short clothes on the side of the road, who followed him on one side, and said to Hua Boping, "Go to the other side first, look at the bamboo, and go up to the green cliff. This side is..." Yang Xingyuan knew that it was the leader at the foot of the mountain. , nothing more than to make a few small money.Then he waved to him and said, "We come here often." Hearing that there was no hope, he turned around and left.The three of them walked along the footsteps, crossed a stone bridge, and slowly walked up the mountain step by step. After less than a few dozen steps, everyone was covered in sweat. Wu Bibo had already stood under a tree and took off his long gown.Yang Xingyuan and Hua Boping both took off their long gowns at the same time.Hua Boping smiled and said, "Although the sun is not very strong today, you can hear the cicadas that are full of mountains and forests. It's just in the afternoon. When you go up the mountain, it's unbearably hot. Go back." Wu Bibo saw, The mountain road gradually rises, and there is a high slope in front of it, about ten feet high.Look up and see the sun is over the top of the tree.He smiled and said, "I just walked a small hill, and I was panting one after another. It's good to go back." When he was talking, Hua Boping listened carefully, and said, "What's the noise? It seems like it's raining." Wu Bibo sounded the same, and said: "Sure enough." Yang Xingyuan walked a few steps away from them, with one arm draped over a long gown, the other holding a tree, and stood facing the wind.Turning around and laughing: "I don't know, it's the wind blowing the leaves all over the mountain. It's a pity that there are no big pine trees here. If there are, you will suspect that you are in the sea when the wind blows." Wu Bibo Said: "The wind is very good, let's sit under the shade of the tree." As he said, they walked all the way to the shade of the tree, and everyone sat on the grass.At this time, I heard a sound of jingling and jingling. When I looked up, I couldn't see anything, only that it was the ringing of bells.The ringing of the bell happened in the middle of the mountain, and as he walked slowly from top to bottom, a few donkeys emerged from the bushes on the hillside. A man in front of the donkey, wearing a straw hat and holding a whip, was circling the mountain path and burrowing through short trees.Hua Boping said: "This is a good picture." Yang Xingyuan said: "You are a person who is used to living in the city. When you see mountains and forests, there is nothing wrong with it. It is like a countryman entering the city and walking on the street. , it’s as strange as seeing the Dragon King’s treasure house.” While speaking, those donkeys had already come to the side.Each donkey was carrying two big baskets, which seemed to be heavy. The driver of the donkey was walking on one side.Wu Bibo casually asked, "What's on this donkey?" The man brought the first donkey into his arms and yelled, and the rest of the donkeys stopped.Hastily smiled and said, "Myolie." Wu Bibo asked: "Is it the apricot from the mountain?" The man said: "Yes, it is picked now." Wu Bibo smiled and said to Hua Boping Yang Xingyuan: "This kind of fresh mountain fruit is cheaper than the one in the city. It's ten times more delicious." Hua Boping smiled and said to the man: "Brother from the country, can you sell us a few to taste?" The man was very happy when he heard the gentleman from the city and called him "brother".Said: "It's in our mountains. It's not worth it. Why do you want to buy it?" After finishing speaking, he untied an attached basket from the back of the first donkey, reached in, and came out with a handful of yellow apricots, saying "I'll give you a taste." Hua Boping quickly turned over the straw hat and continued.Said: "Thank you very much." After listening to the thank you, the man offered another handful.Seeing that he was so polite, Hua Boping didn't want to be forced to accept it, so he took out four cents and gave it to him.The donkey driver refused to take it even if he died, saying, "Even if I sell it, it's not worth the money." After finishing speaking, he took the donkey and left.Yang Xingyuan is not big and eats melons and fruits very much. When he saw this Xing'er, it was as big as an egg. He reached out his hand and took one in Hua Boping's hat. In his jacket pocket, he took out a handkerchief and wiped Xing'er. . Holding it in my hand, I feel a little fragrance.Take a bite, it is very sweet.After eating one, I didn't realize that I had to eat two more, and I ate three in a row.Not to mention Hua Boping and Wu Bibo, they couldn't stop eating at the hat.The three of them finished eating Xing'er, and Wu Bibo asked Yang Xingyuan, "How is it?" Yang Xingyuan said, "It's really delicious. The fruit shops in the city definitely don't taste this good." Hua Boping said, "You go back tomorrow. I can write an article for him, and the title is Eating Apricots in a Cloak under the Shade of a Big Tree in Xishan.” Yang Xingyuan laughed and said, “What a boring topic.” Hua Boping said, “If it’s not so boring, it won’t be fashionable. "Wu Bibo said: "Don't talk about it, the sun is slowly setting to the west, let's go down the mountain and have a good rest." As he said, he put on a long shirt and walked forward.The three of them walked down the mountain all the way, and when they arrived at the Xishan Hotel, they saw that the dwarfs had all left.He picked a seat on the edge of the steps and sat down.The waiter came over and asked what he wanted to eat.Hua Boping said to Yang Xingyuan: "Are you hungry?" Wu Bibo and Yang Xingyuan said he was not hungry.Hua Boping said to the waiter: "Let's have some refreshments." After a while, the waiter brought a pot of black tea and two plates of refreshments.Yang Xingyuan only drank half a cup of tea mixed with milk and ate two snacks, then lay down on the wicker chair and looked at the wild scenery. At this moment, a big car drove up to the open door, and four people got out, two Westerners and two Chinese women in suits.One woman is in her twenties, while the other is only eighteen or nineteen.The clothes of these two people are all made of tulle, and the cuffs are all lowered, revealing two slipping arms.There is a big hole in the collar, and two large pieces of flesh are exposed on the back of the chest.The woman in her twenties had yellow skin and was covered in powder.Holding a hat in his hand, his permed hair covered his ears and forehead, like a bird's nest covering his head.The younger one had a long face and fairer skin, but he had freckles all over his face. Under the hat, his short hair in a half-moon style was exposed.The two were wearing light and thin high-heeled white leather shoes with leaks.Twisting and twisting, walking in with two bare arms.Two Westerners followed closely.Walking to the bottom of the terrace, the waiter immediately showed a very kind smile, stepped forward to welcome him, and spoke a word of English softly.The Westerner nodded.Several tearooms were in a hurry to find seats, so the two men and two women were asked to sit at the table in Yang Xingyuan.The powdery fragrance of the two women rushed towards them one after another.Among the Westerners, there was an eldest son who spoke irregular Beijing dialect and asked the woman, "Soda? Ice cream? Drink soda, okay?" The older woman laughed and said, "Drink a little." Let’s drink soda.” The eldest son, Westerner, said, “Eat soda? Very good!” As he spoke, he pointed to the young woman and asked, “You drink soda, okay?” She was holding a four-to-five-inch With a long fan, half opened to cover her lips, she nodded with a smile.That Westerner was a fat man, and he smiled with his eldest son when he saw it.Wu Bibo saw it from the side, and was very puzzled. These four people were not so close, of course they were not a couple.And there is a lot of verbal barriers, and it doesn't look like friends.Those two Westerners just don't understand Chinese, but even though these two women are full of foreign style, I'm afraid they don't know much English. How could they come to Xishan with Westerners?This is amazing. In a low voice, he asked Yang Xingyuan in his native dialect: "Which way do these two characters come from? Can you tell?" , there is a kind of women who are only associated with the waiters in big hotels to do this kind of illegal foreign business. The best can dance and speak foreign languages. This is probably a newborn baby. If you When I saw them walking alone in the city, I really regarded her as a European-style lady." When she said that, the older woman seemed to know that someone was paying attention to her, and she couldn't stop looking at her.Wu Bibo was afraid that if people found out, everyone would chat about other things. After a while, a person came in outside, saw Hua Boping, came forward, and said hello.When Hua Boping looked at it, he was the servant of Deputy Chief Yang.Vice-Chairman Yang has a house in Xishan, which is the house that Hua Boping wants to borrow from him.The servant said: "Yesterday, Vice-Chairman Yang ordered that Secretary Hua would come to the mountain. He was afraid that they would not recognize him, so he sent a servant to come early this morning to guide him up the mountain. You, why don't you rest for a while, or just go? "Hua Boping said: "It will." He asked the waiter to open the account.Hua Boping took it over and saw that there were three refreshments, plus cigarettes and soda, the total cost was more than five yuan.Yang Xingyuan smiled at Wu Bibo and said, "It's fair, it's about the same price as the Beijing Hotel." Hua Boping didn't make a sound, but took out seven yuan and gave it to him, saying, "It's a petty account." The waiter only agreed Say "yes".Unlike the waiters in restaurants and taverns in the city, they will say thank you more or less.When the three of them left the hotel, the servant had already hired three sedan chairs for them.Yang Xingyuan said: "If there are not many roads, let's go up. This sedan chair is not comfortable." Wu Bibo had experienced what it was like to go up the mountain, and he boarded the sedan chair without saying a word.The second Hua Boping also showed no humility, and got into the sedan chair.Seeing that everyone was sitting in sedan chairs, Yang Xingyuan couldn't walk up the mountain with him, so he had to go in sedan chairs.The sedan chair was a wicker chair, and a board was hung by two ropes on the chair rail in front of the chair, which was a foot rest.On the chair, six wicker sticks support a blue cloth shed. It's like the cloth list on the jelly stand.The three of them sat on the same chair, and you looked at me and I looked at you in mid-air, and they couldn't help laughing.The sedan chair went up the mountain, looking all the way to Vice-Chang Yang's villa, and walked all the way.The sedan chair moved forward step by step, the front was high and the rear was low. The person sitting in the sedan chair was just leaning up, and then went up a steeper high slope, and the person was literally lying on the chair.Wu Bibo yelled: "It's dangerous, don't fall down the mountain?" The bearer smiled and said: "It doesn't matter, we have carried countless people three hundred and sixty days a year. have to." On this slope, halfway up the mountain, there is a flat land with a few big trees on the flat land. Under the tree, there is a flat-roofed western-style house with a terrace in front of the door. Two people came up to meet them under the terrace. It stopped.Everyone knew that this was Deputy Chief Yang's villa, so they got out of the sedan chair together. The footman who led the way up the mountain led the way before him. He entered the house first when he entered the door. After passing through this entrance, he went up to an earthen platform, which was a yard, and entered the house again.The two entrances are front and back, never connected, it's like the first floor and the bottom. The house is also in the form of a courtyard, but with an additional veranda.The pillars of the veranda are covered with green vines, which cannot be seen.On the right side of the yard, there is a big wall with a pine tree hanging upside down on the wall, and the old vines on the tree hang down to the yard.A mountain on the far left is surrounded by the back of the house.This house can be said to be surrounded by mountains on three sides.In the upper house, a corner of the corridor protrudes, forming a platform, surrounded by short green corridors on all sides.In the middle of the platform, a stone table and three reclining chairs have already been placed.The three of Hua Boping walked into the platform, lay down on the chair and looked outside, looking straight at the mountain in front of them, which was lowered to the flat ground.Looking at the plains again, the trees in the villages are all clustered in clusters, like toys in the ground.Farther away, there is a layer of white mist underground, so you can't see clearly.This kind of mist, mighty and mighty, has been connected with the sky.In the mist, I can faintly see black shadows, uneven in height, that is the city of Beijing.At this time, the servant prepared all the tea and cigarettes and put them on the table, and played hand towel handles with the three of them.Hua Boping slept on the recliner, stretched his feet and said: "This place is suitable for both distance and near. It is really a good place to escape the summer heat. The owner is too good at enjoying himself." Then he asked the servant, "How many times did you come here last month?" The servant laughed and said, "Maybe not once a year. How many times a month? "Hua Boping said:" Have you been here this year? "The servant said:" I haven't been here.When I was in office last year, I came here a few times. "Hua Boping said:" This is strange.Don't come if you are idle, but come if you are not idle. "Yang Xingyuan smiled and said: "What do you not understand?Political changes, maybe.Sometimes it is necessary to express negativity, and you can't go to Xishan for a walk.Once you step down, you should be running around the city socializing.If people in politics live in Xishan all the time, then there is no need to plan to come to power. "Hua Boping nodded and smiled: "You are not an official, but you know the samadhi very well. "Then he asked the servant and said," in this way, after the house was built, it was left here for nothing.Who guards the house? "The servant said:" There are a servant, a gardener, and a cook. There are three people in total. " Hua Boping said with a smile: "This is nothing more than building a villa for these three people to live in." Yang Xingyuan laughed and said: "Like this Deputy Chief Yang, it's not wronged, after all, he came to live for a few days. Many When a person is an official in Beijing, he goes to his hometown to build a garden, and he never sees each other once in his life. Therefore, there are two poems according to legend, 'Building a garden is an old trick, and I show it every year and draw pictures.'” Hua Boping said: "Probably he also knows these two poems, so he welcomes his friends to borrow them, so as not to disappoint this villa." Wu Bibo said: "If I have the money to build such a villa, I will close the door and study. , live on the mountain." Hua Boping said: "You don't have the money to build a villa, so you just say that. If you really build a villa, you can't implement it." The three of them sat on this platform, drinking tea in the wind, watching the mountains and gossiping, very happy. After a while, it will be late.The cook here, because the master sent someone to send a message, entertained the meals of the three guests well, and it was too late to go down the mountain to buy vegetables.I had to discuss with the monk for a long time in a nearby temple, and let a piece of fat bacon come.He also slaughtered one of the chickens he fed, and the rest were the vegetables, melons and beans in his garden.He put together and made ten bowls of dishes for dinner.It's just chicken and bacon, a bowl of amaranth, a bowl of rapeseed, and a bowl of tender pumpkin, all eaten clean.Hua Boping said: "This cook is very good at making vegetarian dishes. Even the dishes in good vegetarian restaurants in Beijing are not as good." Yang Xingyuan said: "Have you forgotten the thing about eating apricots during the day? This is that It's the same reason." Wu Bibo was holding a cup of mouthwash, and was spitting water out of the yard. Then he asked Yang Xingyuan, "Is there a river here? Listen to the sound of the flowing water." Yang Xingyuan walked up to the platform and saw half a bright moon on the cliff, casting heavy shadows on the mountains and faint trees.There are only a few bright stars in the sky, and they accompany the moon on the tree.There was not a cloud in the sky at all.A gurgling sound, but in the sky.Yang Xingyuan said with a smile: "This is not the sound of water. Does the water sound in mid-air?" Wu Bibo said: "Is this the sound of leaves again? It's different from what I heard on the mountain pass during the day." A person was talking outside and came out.When I listened carefully, I really heard the sound of a shoal of river water, outside this house, it seemed to be in the mountainside, and it seemed to be on the top of the mountain.He smiled and said, "Yes, I understand. This is the Songtao mentioned in the book, isn't it?" Before he could finish his sentence, he heard the sound of rough waves coming with the wind.Turning around, I heard the rustling sound again, approaching from far away, brushing past the room.Hua Boping said: "Wonderful! If it weren't for living in the mountains, how would I know this situation. "The three of them have finished washing and are still sitting on this platform. The moon is only a foot high from the top of the mountain outside the house.在月光之下，近看山光树影，清幽如梦，远看山下，云雾濛濛、不知所在。四围除了树木为风所吹之声而外，就是这屋的四周，几头野虫，唧唧的叫。杨杏园道：“我在此时，只觉得万念俱寂，想起北京城里的繁华，真如电影一般。”吴碧波道：“所以古人作书，都在深山，必定如此，方能够心地干净，做得出好文章来。”大家正说着，忽听见一阵吹笛子的声音，在山上送下来。那调子是，本也很熟的，只是在这深山之中，残月之下，便觉得有无限凄凉。华伯平道：“咦！”他只说了一个字，杨杏园和他摆摆手，三个人便都不作声，坐着悄悄地听去。一直等笛子吹完，吴碧波道：“杏园，我们不要遇了仙家吧？他这一阵笛声，把我的心都吹动了，酸甜苦辣，我真说不出是什么味来。”他们说时，听差正走过来沏茶，华伯平便问道：“这山上是什么地方？” 听差道：“是一幢庙。”华伯平道：“这笛子是和尚吹的吗？”听差道：“不是，是一位冯太太吹的，她每天晚上，都要吹一遍。”吴碧波道：“这位冯太太的老爷，是一个司长吗？”听差道：“对了。”吴碧波对杨杏园道：“这是一个失恋的伤心人，难怪她这调子，吹得幽怨极了。”杨杏园道：“你怎样知道？”吴碧波道：“她的恋人，嫁给了我们的亲戚，我怎样不知道？”华伯平道：“胡说！她的恋人，怎样嫁起人来？”吴碧波笑道：“不说明白，你不知道。原来她的恋人，一样的是个女子，不是个男子。”杨杏园道：“妙极。这是同性恋爱的故事。你说，她们是怎么一段因缘？”吴碧波道：“这冯太太在北京城里，本来也是个交际之花。后来不知什么人介绍，在交际场中，认识了一位施小姐。不到三个月的工夫，两个人发生了同性恋爱。都说男子汉没有好人，我们躲开他们，到西山去住罢。冯太太对施小姐说：”这还不是办法，我们要今生今世在一处，除非你不嫁人，我和丈夫离婚。 '施小姐说：“我早就决定不嫁人了，就怕你不能离婚。'冯太太说：”好好，只要你能这样的真心，我就去和丈夫离婚。 '冯太太说了这个话，果然和冯司长提出离婚的条件。冯司长本来是个西洋留学生，对婚姻问题，真是讲究恋爱主义的，慨然答应了离婚。他又知道他太太，是和人家发生了同性爱，他的好奇心，战胜了他的嫉妒心，并且答应离婚以后，每月津贴冯太太一百元的日用。这也算仁至义尽了。 " 杨杏园道：“果是仁至义尽，冯太太可以和他保存一部分感情了。”吴碧波道：“惟其如此，就越发糟了。冯太太当时一鼓作气的和冯司长离了婚，就和那位施女士同搬到西山来，住在西山什么地方，我原不知道。”说着一指听差道：“他说这笛子是冯太太吹的，那末，就是这里了。两个人大概住了两个月，果然情投意合。 后来施小姐常在山上玩，看见西山旅馆里的旅客，男女成双的居多，她的爱情就不能专一啦。恰好这个时候，敝亲在山上养病，游山游得认识起来，也发生了爱情。 这异性爱的力量，究竟比同性爱的力量大，施小姐就写了一封信丢在桌上，和冯太太不辞而别，下山结婚去了。冯太太万不料施小姐是这样薄情的人，这才知道女子的心，比男子还狠，又海又恨，真是万念皆灰，住在山上，连门都不出了。 “杨杏园道：”我若是冯司长，我还接她回去，那才见得他的情深量大。况且冯太太和别人是同性爱，和出山泉水又不很同，自然是坠欢可拾。 “吴碧波道：”冯司长何尝不是如此，但是冯太太以为丈夫心肠太好，自己却不好意思见面了。据说，那一百元的津贴，她也不要了。以后何以为继，真是一个疑问。 “听差站在一边，也听住了。华伯平问他道：”这话对吗？ “听差道：”不错，从前还有一位施小姐，和冯太太同住，后来走了。 “华伯平道：”这冯太太，可说她负人，人家也负她，这两笔账在一处，如今都悔起来，也难怪她不下山了。 " 说着，那笛子又吹起来了。也听不出是什么调子，只觉呜呜咽咽，若断若续，很是凄楚。杨杏园用手搔着头发道：“可怜！我不忍卒听了。”华伯平笑道：“你向来自负是个多情种子，何不想法救她一救？”杨杏园道：“连她自己丈夫都不能救她呢，何况别人？”这时，月亮越发斜了，凉透毛发，杨杏园不觉打一个寒噤。 当时，笛子也就更然中止。杨杏园道：“咦！有什么变故吗？这笛子吹到中间，陡然停止，不像自然的收束。”吴碧波道：“你又见神见鬼。”华伯平道：“不然，我也觉得这笛子停得可怪。”吴碧波道：“我想她拿着笛子，一定在风露里吹，刚才这一阵风我们都受不住，她一定也是受不住，所以不能吹了。”杨杏园道：“这话也近情理。但是一个孤孤单单的妇人，在深山里住着，拿着一根笛子，在淡淡的月亮底下，对凉风暗露来吹，这种情景，也就不堪了。”吴碧波笑道：“吹皱一池春水，干卿底事？”杨杏园道：“王道不外乎人情，人情不外乎天理，你觉得我这话腐败吗？”华伯平笑道：“话却是对的，不过这好像做官的人说的。”杨杏园一想，果然，自己也好笑起来。三个人在月亮底下坐了一会，身上越坐越凉，只得去睡。 这里的床铺，都是杨次长预备好了的，干净得很。因为大家都要试试山居的风味，各人搬了一张铁床，踞了一间屋。三个人在白天走山，已经辛苦了，晚上又谈了这久，所以一到床上就睡着了。杨杏园正睡在兴浓之际，忽然听到有人大叫起来，不觉惊醒。要知为何有人大叫，下回交代。
