Zhenguan Wenzong System

Chapter 216

On the 29th of the twelfth lunar month, snowflakes fell in the sky again.Fortunately, it wasn't the goose feather heavy snow, and there was no strong wind blowing in the city, but it was more poetic for no reason.

After breakfast, Luo Yan put on a thick cloak and went out.According to the agreement, Du He started writing poems in the past few days.And today is the last day of the year before. As for tomorrow, it is always necessary to give the children some time to play around.

At this time, many courtiers in the court have already had seven days to rest and bathe. Except for the grand court meeting on the first day of the first lunar month, the rest of the time can be arranged as much as you like.Although Du Ruhui is the Minister of the Ministry of War, he can still get a short rest at this time.When Luo Yan came to Du Mansion, he was waiting in Du He's room.He has heard about Luo Yan's arrangement for a long time. Du Ruhui also took an exam on Du He in private during the first two processes, and found that Luo Yan taught Du He really well. Although Du He can't say those things are fluent now, he can answer any questions he asks. is easy.

Which parents do not want their children to be good.Du He is the youngest son and will not be able to inherit the title in the future. Du Ruhui naturally hopes that he will become a success.Now that Luo Yan teaches, Du Ruhui can't wait to tie Luo Yan to his house in the future.

Today officially began to take a rest, so Du Ruhui came to see how his son wrote poems in person.

Seeing Du Ruhui, Luo Yan was not surprised. He just greeted Du He briefly, and then pulled Du He over and said, "Today you will start learning to write poetry. You have also learned a lot of allusions and poems from what you have learned in the past few days." The rhythm is not too high today, based on what you recited before, write a five-word poem about snow. Don’t worry about writing it badly, after all, it’s your first time writing a poem.”

There was no pressure at all, Du He naturally had nothing to worry about.After thinking for a long time, I picked up a pen and kept writing and dabbing on the paper.And Luo Yan and Du Ruhui were chatting and waiting.

Only half an hour later, Du He shouted excitedly: "Grandpa, Assistant Teacher Luo, I've done it, come and take a look." Presumably it was the little guy's first poem, and it took a long time to daub it. Big effort.Now that it was written, it was actually transcribed on new paper, and this time it was brought in front of the two of them.

Composing a poem in half an hour may be really slow for adults.But for a child like Du He who is composing poetry for the first time, the speed is quite good.Luo Yan and Du Ruhui smiled at each other before taking the paper presented by Du He.In order to take care of Du Ruhui, Luo Yan recited the poem first.

"The coldness of the year has not turned, and the snow is still floating when the moon sets.

Falling with the wind, covering the sun without fear of disappearing.

The leaves near the feet are not unfolded, and the flowers bloom without a trace.

Today is more different than yesterday, looking forward to the Ming Dynasty for a long time. "

This is an imitation of the Poem of Plum Blossoms in Snow written by Yin Keng, a poet of the Southern and Northern Dynasties.But Du Ruhui didn't plant plum trees in his home, so Du He only wrote about Xue.Even so, the imitation is decent.Of course, the problem is not that there are no problems, but the structure is not very compact, but Luo Yan is also quite surprised that his first poem has reached this level.

Not to mention Luo Yan, Du Ruhui was very excited at this moment.This is my son's first poem. Although it is an imitation, it is clear that the traces of imitation are not heavy, and it has broken away from the original artistic conception, and developed the outline independently.Although it is still necessary to use associations to read the whole poem, but the level of children I know is more than a bit higher than that of the children I know.

Stroking his beard, Du Ruhui praised: "Assistant Luo's teaching method is really beyond my expectation. I never thought that my child would have such a level in writing poetry for the first time. Alas, it's a pity that you have already become an official, otherwise you would Yes, I will also tie you up to teach this useless child."

Luo Yan was quite happy to be praised by Du Ruhui.Of course, he couldn’t be less polite: “What did Du Shangshu say? Isn’t this being taught? To put it bluntly, he is probably the only one who can spend so much time and effort teaching in this life. I hope he can do it in the future. Live up to my hard work." With the preliminary results, Luo Yan's complacency is false at the moment, but it is true to say that he is tired.

Du Ruhui naturally knew what Luo Yan meant, and said with a smile: "I wouldn't believe it if it was someone else, but when I meet you, I half believe it. Among us, you are notoriously lazy. After thinking about it, you won’t do such tiring things anymore.”

After chatting with Du Ruhui for a few more words, Luo Yan seriously began to comment on Du He's poems, while Du Ruhui didn't say a word at this time, quietly listening to Professor Luo Yan's content.

For a whole day, Luo Yan just trained Du He to write three poems, but after repeated revisions, Du He's three poems have reached a considerable level.Even if you take it out to deal with general literary affairs, you will not fall into the lower class.At the end, Du Ruhui felt sorry for Luo Yan's knowledge on the one hand, and was surprised by his unusual teaching method on the other hand.It's not that he doesn't know Du He's aptitude. Du Ruhui couldn't believe that he could have such an achievement.

After a tiring day, Luo Yan fell into a deep sleep when he returned home.

The next day, because he didn't have to go to Du's house, Luo Yan went to his teacher's house.At this time, Lu Dunxin has been here for two or three days, but because he has been with Du He these days, he has no time to come to visit.It just so happens that everyone is free today, so we can have a good chat.

We haven't seen each other for a year, but the relationship is still so familiar.When Luo Yan found Lu Dunxin, he and Lu Deming were chatting in the study.Seeing Luo Yan come in, he happily greeted Luo Yan to sit down.

"When I came to Beijing, I heard that you bet with people, haha. Your name has spread among us foreign officials." Lu Dunxin deliberately teased Luo Yan, so he brought up this embarrassing incident.And Lu Deming laughed and scolded again: "You are so grown up, and you still do that child's act of loyalty. If His Majesty hadn't greeted you both in private this time, I'm afraid you won't be able to do this matter."

Although they were cursing, there was no lack of relationship in the words.Luo Yan rubbed his head, and said with some embarrassment: "I made the teacher and senior brother laugh at me. Now that I think about it, I was really impulsive at the time. But the matter has come to this point, I can only teach Na Duhe well, and it has achieved some results in the past few days, so Just relax."

Hearing what Luo Yan said, the two were also a little curious, so they asked to talk about Du He's current achievements.After Luo Yan recited the three poems yesterday, Lu Deming also breathed a sigh of relief, and said, "Although it is not top-notch, it is not bad for a nine-year-old child to write such a poem. However, the distance between There is still some gap in a tie, and you still need to work hard in the next year. Although you can only draw at that time, it is best to have less means."

Nodding, Luo Yan agreed.

After talking about the bet, Lu Deming changed the topic to another matter.

"Come in, Ying'er will leave the cabinet after a while."

The sudden words caught Luo Yan a little off guard.Subconsciously asked: "Teacher, who do you think is going to leave the cabinet?"

"Yinger."

There was a silence.

Luo Yan suddenly became a little confused.Hearing this news, there was a huge wave in his heart.I haven't seen him for a few years, and the naughty, willful and clever little girl who followed behind him has grown up to leave the cabinet.Recalling Lu Deming's harsh criticism when they first met, and recalling wandering around the east and west markets with the little girl, and thinking of the two of them hugging a pile of food.

Scenes of past events came to mind one after another, making Luo Yan very uncomfortable.

Luo Yan has always loved Ying'er as his little sister.Unexpectedly, when I finally got this news, I felt a little sour in my heart.This is no longer a normal brother's feelings for his sister.

After being silent for a while, Luo Yan asked, "Who is the husband's family?"

Master Lu Deming naturally knew that this topic was a bit serious, so Rong Luoyan was silent for a long time.Hearing his question now, he replied: "The nephew of Assistant Professor Kong is also in his early twenties this year. Although he is not as outstanding as you, he has read poetry and books since he was a child. When you were in Youzhou, His family traveled thousands of miles to Huizhou to propose a marriage. Because of the geographical relationship, it has been delayed until now. We were discussing just now. If it is possible, we will take advantage of this first month when everyone is in Chang'an to arrange the marriage."

The daughter belonged to someone else, how could Luo Yan have the right to object.And when the matter was at this point, Lu Deming told him that he obviously didn't want to get himself entangled in this matter.

With a long sigh, Luo Yanqiang said with a smile: "It seems that the disciple needs to prepare a good gift. After all, Yinger is also my niece, if I don't prepare, it will be bad if I get laughed at for nothing. "Speaking slowly, Luo Yan's heart was overwhelmed at this time, and he had to make his smile a little natural, how could it be the same as usual.

The three master and apprentice chatted a lot about Yinger's marriage. At the end, Luo Yan felt a little numb.I don't know how long it took, but when Luo Yan felt that he couldn't stay any longer, he got up and left, leaving Lu Deming and his wife behind.

"Grandfather, it's uncomfortable to see you go in like this." Lu Dunxin said to Lu Deming after being silent for a while.

"Oh, I don't know what you said. It's just that there are too many things between them. Among other things, the seniority that my Confucianism pays attention to is a hurdle. Others can ignore these things, but we can't. It cannot be ignored. If Yinger is allowed to follow him, he will be harmed. He is destined to be a person who can do great things, and it is not advisable to indulge in the affair between a man and a woman for a while."

"But this is not a solution. He studied hard in the mountains for three years. Now that he is like this, is it possible to let him continue to waste three years? Looking at his appearance just now, if he resigns and returns to his hometown again, he will What a pity. He has just taken his first step in the stone forest."

"Don't worry. Even if he wants to, there are many people and things that force him to go on. However, it is indeed time to find a marriage for him. But when he thinks about his future, it is really difficult to decide."

When Lu Deming said this, he also became silent.

　The weather is turning cold all over the country. Everyone buys quilts, adds clothes, prepares delicious food, and prepares for the winter.
