Chapter 40 inspirational poems

The reason why Qian Qianyi interrupted his visit to the garden and hurried to the Kuengengtang was because he heard from Li Bao that Liu Rushi and Aunt Zhu had quarreled again, and the quarrel was very serious.Mrs. Chen was so angry that she almost fainted, she was crying there!This made Qian Qianyi both surprised and angry.Originally, he thought that after the mediation a few days ago, they should understand their situation and difficulties, and become a little more tolerant of each other.But I didn't expect that after a few days of silence, there would be trouble again, and even such a day would not let me live in peace. "Ah, these women!" he thought angrily, and at the same time worried: what's going on with them now?If they fight each other, Liu Rushi might suffer a disadvantage.She is so petite and weak, but Aunt Zhu is strong and strong!Then he thought: There are still many people around trying to persuade the quarrel, maybe it won't be so troublesome, "However, it's hard to say, if Rushi's temper is very strong, it would be better if he made up his mind to send the third child to the old house in the east of the city." ..." Along the way, Qian Qianyi was just thinking wildly, until the shoulder car he was riding in arrived at the Coupengtang.

It was quiet in the lobby, there was no sound at all.Qian Qianyi lifted the sedan chair curtain and looked out, "Well, maybe they're done arguing?" He thought, then got off the sedan chair and walked up to the lobby. But unexpectedly, the hall was completely empty, not only Mrs. Chen, Liu Rushi and Aunt Zhu were not there, but also Qian Sunai and the accompanying servants were all gone.Qian Qianyi couldn't help feeling strange, and was about to turn around to ask Li Bao, when he suddenly heard a familiar voice say: "Sister, it's not bad, I think it must be him!"

Following the voice, the curtain on the east side was lifted, and Liu Rushi came out gracefully, followed by a young woman, that was her handkerchief sister——Hui Xiang. "Ah! The master is here!" Liu Rushi greeted him with a smile, and said with a salute. "You—" Qian Qianyi looked at her suspiciously.He wanted to ask: Why are you arguing again?But he realized that Liu Ruxiang didn't look like he had just quarreled, so he changed his words temporarily, "You—so here you are!" "We have been guarding here, not daring to leave half a step, just waiting for the master to come!" Liu Rushi tilted his head and said, looking back at Huixiang, "Sister, do you think so?"

"Oh..." Qian Qianyi looked at Huixiang.When he saw Hui Xiang for the first time, he felt that she was somewhat similar to Liu Rushi, with slender eyes and light eyebrows, but there was a black mole on the tip of the left eyebrow.Now he found that she was younger, more tender, and more quiet than Liu Rushi, and she was avoiding his sight with a shy smile... "So——what about Madam and Sun Ai?" Qian Qianyi asked in disbelief. "They?" Liu Rushi curled her lips, "Who knows! Maybe they got tired of waiting for the master not to come, and they all went outside to pick flowers and fight weeds, and play tricks!"

"You didn't—" Qian Qianyi looked away from Huixiang's body with nostalgia, "Didn't you quarrel?" "Arguing?" Liu Rushi looked very surprised, "Why are you arguing? Today we are talking and laughing all the time, and we are very intimate!" After a pause, she looked sideways at Qian Qianyi and sneered slightly, "Besides, This girl of mine is here, she is beautiful and juicy, I am afraid that someone will think badly about her, I am too busy just to watch her every step of the way, how can I have time to quarrel with others!" Qian Qianyi was taken aback for a moment, then he laughed in a concealed manner, turned around, and shouted: "Li Bao!"

Li Bao was actually standing behind him, and immediately agreed. Qian Qianyi's face darkened: "You——what nonsense were you talking about just now? What's the reason for lying and deceiving me? Huh?!" Li Bao obviously expected this kind of situation long ago.He immediately knelt down on both knees, kowtowed his head and said, "Master, this is none of the villain's business. A villain has the guts to dare not lie to the master..." "Bastard! How dare you slander the mistress, tease the master, and be lawless, what should you do!" Qian Qianyi's voice became severe.

Li Bao trembled in fright, and kowtowed his head more frequently: "My lord, it's not about the villain's business, it's really not about the villain's business!" He said repeatedly, but whose business is it? , and don't say it out. This attitude angered Qian Qianyi even more.He snorted, and was about to say something harsher and more terrifying.At this time, Liu Rushi spoke: "Hey, Xianggong! What kind of anger are you getting at? Let me tell you, it's none of Li Bao's business, it's me! I told him to say this! Do you understand? I saw those bastards The old man is very tasteless. The husband has been with them for a long time. I am afraid that you are getting bored, so I use this method to pick you up and relax. Besides, my sister Huixiang has been here so many times. God, you haven't greeted her well. She is a kind person, she doesn't say anything, but she can't help blaming you in her heart—" She looked back at Huixiang again, and smiled treacherously, "Sister, what do you say? Is it?"

Qian Qianyi choked.Although he had already guessed that this incident was caused by Liu Rushi's instigator, firstly, he didn't like such overly presumptuous jokes; secondly, the one-sided attitude of Li Bao, a slave, also made him have a The feeling of being betrayed and fooled, so I took the opportunity to explode.But now, after hearing Liu Rushi's soft-spoken explanation, his anger suddenly lost its momentum and could no longer flourish.He glanced at Huixiang, then at Liu Rushi, and finally said: "It's you--" "It's me, it's me, of course it's me!" Liu Rushi became like a naughty little girl, she walked over and took Qian Qianyi's hand, "Master, look - flowers and willows are competing for glory, mountains and mountains are like splashes , such a beautiful scene, do you actually have the heart to leave our sisters alone?"

"But there are guests waiting—" "I don't care! I just want you to accompany me!" Liu Rushi stomped her feet and acted coquettishly. Qian Qianyi had no choice. "Okay, okay, I'll just walk with you!" He said, and looked back at Li Bao, who was still kneeling on the ground waiting to be punished, and shouted, "I owe you a beating! If Madam didn't beg for favors today, I will give you a discount." Dog legs are not allowed! You go, find Mr. Ji and the others, and pass on my words, saying that I am still stuck at the moment, please swim slowly first, and I will come later!"

Li Bao quickly agreed, kowtowed his thanks again, and slowly stood up.At this time, Hongqing and Lvyi had already come out of the courtyard to serve, so a group of people surrounded them and walked out slowly. As soon as he walked outside the gate of the courtyard, Liu Rushi touched his bun, and suddenly said: "Ah, one of my pearl hairpins is gone, I think it was lost inside!" After speaking, he turned around and went in to look for it. Qian Qianyi said: "Why do you go in person? Just ask Hong Qing to find it for you." Liu Rushi waved her hand: "No! She doesn't know!" and hurried in.

Qian Qianyi didn't stop him, and while he was waiting, his eyes slipped on Huixiang's body again. "Little lady is here, do you think you have to hang around for a while?" He asked. "Ah, no, I plan to go home tomorrow." Hui Xiang answered with a sigh of relief, and slipped a glance into the courtyard gate. "Why? It's rare for the little lady to come all the way, so why do you say you want to go? You must stay longer!" "Thank you brother-in-law for your kindness, my family has been disturbing you for many days at the residence, and I feel very uneasy!" "Where did you come from, my lady! If you complained that I didn't greet the guests properly just now, I am willing to accept this responsibility! So I plan to order someone to tidy up the Hanhui Pavilion later, so I invite my lady to stay here for a long time, so that I can get closer every day!" Hui Xiang was clearly taken aback, and quickly said: "How does this make it, the slave family, the slave family will really want to go home tomorrow." Qian Qianyi said with a smile: "Little lady, I can't go! Even if your sister lets you go, I won't..." Before he finished speaking, he suddenly saw Liu Rushi coming out of the room, and he immediately stopped talking. "Well, what did you just say?" Liu Rushi looked at them suspiciously and asked. "No, I didn't say anything!" Qian Qianyi said quickly. "No?" Liu Rushi expressed his disbelief as he walked forward. "Oh, my brother-in-law wants to keep me for a few more days, but my sister has already decided to go home tomorrow!" Hui Xiang said frankly. Liu Rushi let out a "hum", and stared at Qian Qianyi fiercely, so frightened that Qian Qianyi quickly turned his face away, and dared not make a sound. After that, Liu Rushi deliberately ignored him, only talking and laughing with Huixiang.Sometimes Qian Qianyi had the cheek to strike up a few conversations, but she was either robbing her or ridiculing her, which made the boss bored.In this way, I came to Qiushui Pavilion. Qiushui Pavilion is built on a small hillock surrounded by green bamboos. It is two stories high and has windows on all sides. The south window is facing Shanghu, and the north window is against Yushan.There is no escalator in the pavilion, but there is a rockery with stone steps on the left, which connects to the second floor.There is an Arhat couch in the middle of the upper floor, and behind the couch is a screen, dripping with ink and dancing like dragons and phoenixes. It is written by Zhu Zhishan in Southern Song Dynasty Xin Qiji's poem "Whispering - Title Autumn Water View", which starts from the first line " From the beginning of "Snail Corner Struggle" to the last sentence "Qingxi is just a song", there are a total of 203 characters, which densely fill the entire screen, and the end is soaring and majestic, with an amazing momentum.There are two or four chairs on the left and right of the couch, and a bonsai is placed in each of the four corners. The weather is fine, and there are countless fishing boats and flying white gulls on Shanghu Lake in the distance.After Qian Qianyi and his group went up to the second floor from the rockery next to the pavilion, they went to the south window to look at it for a while as usual, then walked around the pavilion for a week, and then sat down casually. Liu Rushi was sitting on a chair on the left side of the couch.She raised her head and stared at the poem on the screen for a long time, then suddenly burst out laughing. Qian Qianyi and Huixiang were puzzled, and looked back at her together.Liu Rushi just laughed, but didn't speak.Qian Qianyi couldn't bear it anymore, and asked with an apologetic smile: "Madam is laughing so much, is there something wrong with Xin Jiaxuan's words?" Liu Rushi shook her head. "Then, there must be something to discuss about Zhu Zhishan's calligraphy?" Liu Rushi shook her head again. "Then why is Madam laughing?" "I laughed and wrote the word Jiaxuan on this screen, it's not appropriate!" "Ah, this pavilion is the oldest thing in the villa. When it was first built, my great-grandfather named it 'Autumn Water' because of Mu Xinjiaxuan's personality, and said that there was a view of Qiushui in the middle of the Piaoquan residence, and I asked Zhu Zhishan to inscription What's wrong with this word on the screen?" Qian Qianyi's tone was a little hasty, apparently quite displeased with Liu Rushi wantonly accusing the legacy of his ancestors. Liu Rushi smiled slightly: "There is nothing wrong with the arrangement that day. But for today, it is not right!" "how do I say this?" "There are so many excellent works in Jiaxuan's collection. According to my concubine's opinion, I can choose another one and write it on the screen. It may not be so appropriate!" "Please tell me the details!" "For example, his song "Shuilong Yin--Dengjiankang Xinxin Pavilion" is very popular, and my concubine also appreciates it!" Liu Rushi said, paused, and suddenly frowned again, "However, there are many allusions to this word. , I don't know how to understand the words "asking for fields and asking houses, for fear of being ashamed, Liu Lang is talented." Qian Qianyi was planning for her to make some outlandish remarks, but he couldn't help laughing when he heard her say this: "Could it be that Madam is pretending to be confused? How difficult are these few sentences! If the behavior of being keen on running a comfortable home is compared with the ambition of the hero, I am afraid that I will feel ashamed. Those few words are from the "Three Kingdoms·Chen Deng Biography", which is what Liu Bei taught Xu Si——'The king has a country In the name of the name, there is great chaos today, the emperor is lost, and he hopes that the king will worry about the country and forget his home. , want to lie on a hundred-foot-high building, and lie on the king on the ground, but between the upper and lower beds!'” Liu Rushi listened calmly, and when Qian Qianyi finished reciting, she stood up, clapped her hands and said with a smile, "Not bad, not bad! Just write these few sentences on the screen, wouldn't it be appropriate!" Qian Qianyi was taken aback for a moment, then said "ah" and laughed: "Well, after a long time of trouble, it turns out that you are cursing me around the corner!" "How dare I scold my husband!" Liu Rushi's expression became very serious, "I am worried about my husband!" Qian Qianyi looked at Liu Rushi and stopped smiling.He was silent for a while, and asked hesitantly, "You, you mean—" Liu Rushi nodded: "After the concubine saw that my husband came back from beating Gusu, my heart was relieved, my air was gone, and I didn't mention the appointment anymore. It was like a different person from the past, and I kept thinking about it all day long. Repairing the garden, repairing the garden, it seems that there is nothing more important in the world than this. How can people worry about being so depressed!" She sighed, seeing that Qian Qianyi was silent, and then said, "The world is in chaos now, The country is in dire straits, although it is not as severe as the Han season, but the catastrophe in the future is unpredictable. Although the concubine is a woman, I also want to look forward to my husband as a national scholar. I hope that you can worry about the country and forget your home, and have the intention of saving the world! Now Xianggong is also following the example of Xu Si and his wholeheartedly asking for land and housing, just responding to Liu Xuande's ridicule and not knowing it, wouldn't this make my concubine very disappointed!" Qian Qianyi listened disapprovingly at first, but later, his eyes gradually widened and his eyebrows raised.An expression of anger and annoyance emerged from his dark face.He moved his lips, obviously wanting to say something fierce.However, when he found that Huixiang was watching silently from the side, he gave up this plan, lowered his head, and after a while, he said angrily: "Why am I willing to do this. But now, what can I do!" This time, Liu Rushi didn't answer right away.She glanced at Hui Xiang bluntly, and ordered: "Hong Qing, Lu Yi, you first accompany Miss Hui downstairs for a walk, and we will come later!" When the footsteps of Huixiang and others disappeared downstairs, she turned her head and looked at Qian Qianyi with burning eyes: "To be honest, this time, I think Mr. Xiang is too timid! What Zhou Zhongyu, Chen Dingsheng, isn't it just those few people! I really don't believe how capable they are! You didn't see that a few days ago, the two masters Chen and Qian ran outside for a while, and there were fewer people who agreed with the Prime Minister Zhang? According to my concubine's opinion, Zhou Zhongyu's undefeated power was due to Zhou Zhongyu's too strong power, and his failure was due to his lack of determination and ineffective implementation. After the defeat, he was willing to retreat and did not try to cheer up. Such a plan, I'm afraid A hundred years is in vain!" "You don't know!" Qian Qianyi also stood up, walking back and forth in the pavilion irritably, "The surname Zhou is very jealous of me, this time he deliberately pointed at the fire pit to make me jump. Even if it is true It's done, and I know he won't make any other troubles! I thought about it, instead of letting him play like a monkey with a chain around his neck, it's better to stay at home and manage the mountains and rivers to be quiet!" Liu Rushi sneered: "Master is too short-sighted! You don't see that it has only been fifteen years since the first year of Chongzhen, and there have been more than forty ministers. Those who hold this title will last for as long as a year, and as little as half a month." , and then resigned. I don’t believe that Mr. Zhou Ge can hold this position for a long time! If Mr. Xianggong doesn’t plan ahead and concentrate on building this Laoshizi Villa, I’m afraid that the opportunity will be missed again!” Qian Qianyi was awakened by her words, and immediately fell silent.He stayed there for a while, then murmured, "Well, then, what should we do?" "According to my own opinion," Liu Rushi said confidently, "now that Zhou Zhongyu and others are spreading the news about Huqiu everywhere, Mr. Xiang must not sit back and watch it go rampant. You must send someone out quickly to contact the people who supported us back then. , strongly rebuke its faults. In this way, we will not be trapped by ourselves and be controlled by others!" "Yes!" Qian Qianyi stood up excitedly, "Madam is truly worthy of being a hero among women! Alright, I'll go and refuse everything, and then..." Liu Rushi smiled slightly: "You don't have to go. The concubine has already ordered Li Bao to send them away!" Qian Qianyi was taken aback: "Ah, you - when, why didn't I know?" "Just now - when I turned around to look for Zhuchai." Liu Rushi said triumphantly, "At that time Xiangzheng was planning on my sister Huixiang, how would I know!"
