Clouds and Waters

Yun Chenxiao sat in the academy, staring at the scenery outside the window in a trance. The sun was soft and the birds were singing together. The carefree and happy life of the family, now out, but think of the good at home, never forget it.

"Hey, look quickly, is that Wan'er here?"

"Wan'er? Is it really Wan'er?"

There was a commotion in the house, Yun Chenxiao raised his eyes, and saw that the condescending old scholar had long since disappeared.Following the gazes of the students, Murong Wan was indeed graceful and graceful, walking towards this side.

This is a "ritual" class.Confucian teaching focuses on the "six arts".Among the six arts, one is called five rituals, the other is called six music, the third is called five shooting, the fourth is called five controls, the fifth is called six books, and the sixth is called nine numbers.The honor of the six arts of etiquette is etiquette education, which is actually moral education.Confucianism attaches great importance to moral education and emphasizes teaching the people with virtue. The so-called "Tao is based on government, and it is punished, and the people are free from shame; realm.Yun Chenxiao is familiar with the classics, but she is most tired of the Confucian things that "restrain oneself and restore the rites", and she hates the three cardinal guides and five constant rules.Therefore, she didn't listen to this etiquette lesson at all, and she was too sleepwalking.Seeing the commotion among the crowd at this moment, knowing that it was a break between classes, she couldn't help stretching, with a faint smile on the corner of her mouth, watching with great interest the crowd's enthusiasm for Murong Wan.

After a while, there was no one left in the class, and they all ran out.Yun Chenxiao was wondering, when suddenly he heard a roar of shouts outside the house, which made people's eardrums burst, and they all read in unison:

Guan Guan Jujiu, in Hezhizhou, a slender lady and a gentleman.

Staggered Nymphaea, left and right.Fair lady, I long for it.

This poem is a famous piece in the "Book of Songs". It is about the infatuated gentleman's love and pursuit of the one he loves, and his devotion to the girl is vividly expressed.It's just that this poem was originally soft and beautiful, full of charm, but it was shouted out by this group of students who had just opened their hearts, and they couldn't hear the deep meaning and affection of the original poem at all.It's like a blushing and thick-necked big man, pretending to be coy, holding his voice and babbling and singing "Amorous and sad parting since ancient times", which makes people feel nondescript and laughing.

It was also the first time for Yun Chenxiao to see this scene, she giggled twice, and was about to go out to take a closer look, but suddenly heard someone behind her laugh coldly.

Yun Chenxiao turned around curiously, only to see a man dressed in a brocade robe, wearing jewels and jewels on his head, looking graceful and luxurious, his face was like a crown jade, with sword-like eyebrows and phoenix eyes, he was cocking his legs in a dawdly manner, smiling all over his face He looked at Yun Chenxiao eagerly.There was another person beside him, dressed in coarse linen, with his head buried on his chest, Yun Chenxiao couldn't see his face clearly, but just looking at his clothes, it seemed that his family was quite poor.

Although Yun Chenxiao was born in a wealthy family, he can't bear to bully people. Seeing the commoner man bowed his head and said nothing, presumably he was being ridiculed by the young man in fine clothes, so he couldn't help feeling slightly angry, and said loudly: "I don't know why you are laughing, young master. Chen Xiao still wants to ask a question or two!"

The young man in Huafu smiled slightly, got up slowly, walked up to Yun Chenxiao and bowed, and said, "Master Yun, ah no, Brother Chen Xiao, I'm Zuo Chonglin, since Brother Chen Xiao entered the door just now, I'm here I kept looking at brother Chen Xiao. Hey, I pretended to be suave and unrestrained. I was really ashamed when I saw brother Chen Xiao. Today, Zuo knows what it means to be a real celebrity. Ashamed, ashamed!"

Yun Chenxiao didn't expect this person to be so courteous and courteous. It is said that you don't slap someone with a smile when you reach out. Yun Chenxiao listened to him complimenting her, and it was quite helpful, so she cupped her hands and said, "Young Master Zuo praised me. I am ashamed of you." Dare to do it."

Zuo Chonglin waved his hand and said, "Brother Yun doesn't dare to do it, who in the world dares to do it?"

Yun Chenxiao thought: "Hey, there's nothing to be courteous about, rape or robbery! Well, Xiao Qi said, talk to everyone you meet, don't throw all your heart away, it really is a wise saying." Her heart turned delicately, her mouth The boss didn't speak anymore, and walked to the side of the commoner man and said: "I don't know what to call this dear friend?"

The clothed man was surprised that Yun Chenxiao would come over and ask himself, and raised his head.Only now did Yun Chenxiao take a closer look. This man had thick eyebrows and big eyes, dark skin, and a sense of simplicity and sincerity all over his body. He didn't look like a literati studying, but like a farmer plowing the fields in the countryside.But it was also the rustic aura in him that made Yun Chenxiao's eyes shine, and felt that this person's simplicity was far better than Zuo Chonglin's flashy aura.

The clothed man stared at Yun Chenxiao for a while, couldn't help but feel hot, lowered his head again, stood up and whispered: "My... Luo Feng."

Yun Chenxiao hesitated for a moment, and Luo Feng seemed puzzled seeing her, so he picked up a pen and wrote the word "Luo Feng" on the rice paper.After Yun Chenxiao took a look, she was very surprised. This word has a clear bone and a round meaning, and it contains movement in silence, forming a family of its own.Although there are only two characters, it can be seen that his calligraphy attainments are profound.If he hadn't seen it with his own eyes, Yun Chenxiao would not have believed that such a smart and elegant font was written by such a simple and honest student.

Luo Feng saw that Yun Chen was in a daze, and hurriedly said: "Mr. Yun, show your shame, don't make jokes."

Yun Chenxiao picked up the piece of rice paper and looked at it for a long while, smiled loudly, and read: "Luofeng, Luofeng, hey, Yunlong Yunhua Xiangyun Garden, wind blows maple leaves and Luofeng Pavilion. What a Luofeng! Good words, good words !” After saying that, he picked up the pen, dipped it in thick ink, sat down and began to write on the paper.

Seeing that the two of them had hit it off, Zuo Chonglin felt unconvinced. When he saw Yun Chenxiao writing, he hurried over to him, but he saw that what Yun Chenxiao wrote was a poem by Su Dongpo.Yun Chenxiao practiced calligraphy every day since she began to learn writing, so it has been ten years.She admired Wang Xizhi's exquisite and elegant running script. She followed her teacher and transformed her learning. She has made some small achievements in the past ten years. Without losing the lightness, the composition is free and easy, and the style is generous, and the willful and horizontal taste between the lines is fully revealed.After she finished writing the word, she smiled slightly and said, "Brother Luo, how about replacing the word 'Luo Feng' with Dongpo's "Bu Suanzi"?"

Luo Feng looked at Yun Chenxiao's words, the momentum was like a reel, the interest was like flowing water, he was not under him, and hurriedly said: "Young Master Yun, this is not good, I..."

Yun Chenxiao didn't wait for him to finish, and said with a light smile: "Brother Luo thinks Yun's character is ugly? Hey, Yun has such aptitude. I'm afraid that if he practices ten years later, he won't be one-tenth as good as Brother Luo." With a look of disappointment on his face, he resentfully accepted his calligraphy, as if to tear it up.

Luo Feng didn't expect Yun Chenxiao to be so resolute, so he hurriedly stopped him and said, "What is Mr. Yun talking about? I'm afraid that I won't be able to understand Mr. Yun's eyes..."

Yun Chenxiao sighed softly, ignored him, and still wanted to tear it up.Luo Feng was very anxious, and hurriedly said: "Okay, Mr. Yiyun!"

Yun Chenxiao had already expected that this method would definitely work, and tore up the books just to make a show. Seeing that Luo Feng agreed, she was naturally overjoyed.

But Zuo Chonglin frowned and said, "You bumpkin, what's the big deal? Brother Chen Xiao, if you want it, I'll ask someone to write you [-] pages for you."

Yun Chenxiao said with a smile: "The book is more refined than rich. I think that "Lanting Preface" is only a few hundred words, but it is a priceless treasure."

Zuo Chonglin was startled for a moment, then smiled ingratiatingly, and said, "Yes, what Brother Yun said is absolutely true!"

Luo Feng didn't care what the two of them said, but just stared at Yun Chenxiao's writing in a daze.Yun Chenxiao was quite interested in Luo Feng, and asked, "Brother Luo, did you see it?"

Luo Feng pondered for a moment, and said with a silly smile: "This...so that's the case, thank you, Mr. Yun."

The two looked at each other and smiled, tacit understanding.Zuo Chonglin was curious, so he rushed over to look at it, but after looking for a long time, he still couldn't figure it out, so he stopped thinking about it and asked, "Brother Chen Xiao, can you write me a word too?"

Yun Chenxiao said with a smile: "Yes, yes. I just don't know what kind of characters Zuo Gongzi wants?"

Zuo Chonglin didn't want Yun Chenxiao to agree so readily, but felt flattered, and said, "Anything is fine, as long as it is written by Brother Chen Xiao, Zuo will definitely regard it as a rare treasure and cherish it for the rest of his life."

Yun Chenxiao cursed in her heart: "This guy has a knack for flattering people. He's so annoying. Well, it's okay to play tricks on him!" Then he laughed and said: "Then I'll give Mr. Zuo a couplet. But, this couplet I only present the second couplet to Mr. Zuo, the upper couplet, I'm afraid Mr. Zuo will not like it after writing it!"

Zuo Chonglin hastily approached, and flatteringly said: "Where is that! What a good brother's calligraphy, what I can't ask for!" He just said that Chen Xiao's elder brother Chen Xiao was short, but now he suddenly changed his words and called "brother", Yun Chen Xiao couldn't help giving a nasty smile, and said in her heart: "Okay, you asked for it yourself. Don't blame me!" But in Zuo Chonglin's eyes, this wicked smile was like a spring breeze sweeping across his chest, warming his chest, extremely Cheerful.

Yun Chenxiao stopped talking, picked up a pen and wrote a couplet, and handed it to Zuo Chonglin after finishing writing, "Okay, Mr. Zuo please accept it."

Zuo Chonglin turned his eyes away from Yun Chenxiao, and saw that there was indeed a couplet on the paper, the first couplet read "[-]", while the second couplet read "filial piety, loyalty, integrity, propriety, integrity".Zuo Chonglin didn't quite understand it, and asked, "My dear brother, what's the meaning of this? A brother doesn't quite understand it!"

Yun Chenxiao let out a "huh" and said, "I don't understand this? As I said, the first couplet is meaningless. As for the second couplet, filial piety, loyalty, propriety, righteousness, and honesty are naturally a compliment to Mr. Zuo!"

Zuo Chonglin felt as if he had found a treasure when he arrived, he held the word in the palm of his hand, and couldn't put it down.Yun Chenxiao looked at his groveling manner, and the more he despised him, the happier he felt.

The three of them have been writing and talking here for a long time, and the people outside have been surrounding Murong Wan for a long time. Yun Chenxiao suddenly thought of something and asked, "Brother Luo, why don't you go out? Don't you like it?" Miss Murong?"

Luo Feng was embarrassed, but before he opened his mouth, Zuo Chonglin said with a giggle, "Then why doesn't my brother go?"

Yun Chenxiao said with a smile: "Because, hehe, I guess Sister Wan'er is here to look for me. If that's the case, why should I go out? Just wait until she comes over."

Hearing this, Zuo Chonglin was also shocked, and asked: "Brother, do you belong to Miss Murong..."

Yun Chenxiao smiled without answering, and glanced at Luo Feng, but saw that his whole body was stiff, his fists were clenched tightly, but he still lowered his head silently, with a look of desolation in his eyes.Yun Chenxiao already understood a little bit, and secretly calculated in her heart.

When Zuo Chonglin saw Yun Chenxiao always looked at Luo Feng from time to time, he felt sore, and thought: "What's so good about this country bumpkin? Why does this kid surnamed Yun always look at him?" Thinking of this, he blinked his eyes, Pulling Yun Chenxiao, he said mysteriously: "Brother, do you know why this bumpkin doesn't go out?"

Yun Chenxiao smiled calmly, and said, "Maybe brother Luo already has something in his heart?"

Zuo Chonglin shook his head with a smile, glanced at Luo Feng proudly, and said loudly: "My brother doesn't know something! It's not that Luo Feng has his own interests, it's just because... huh, it's just because brother Luo is not close to women, You're so masculine! Haha..." After he finished speaking, he burst out laughing, with a bit of complacency and show-off in his laughter.

When Luo Feng heard this, his heart was filled with anger, but he didn't dare to vent it, his face turned blue, and the roots of his ears were red.Yun Chenxiao was noncommittal, and said calmly: "Oh, that's how it is."

Zuo Chonglin didn't expect Yun Chenxiao to be so calm, he was stunned for a while, speechless for a long time.At this moment, Yun Chenxiao had already stepped out, pulled Murong Wan and said, "Sister Wan'er, are you here?"

Murong Wan was surrounded by many students just now, she was really embarrassed, and she didn't want to come to Yun Chenxiao in front of so many people, so she waited for a long time, until the crowd was almost gone, then she ran over, and when she saw Yun Chenxiao Chen Xiao just threw away the food box and said angrily, "It's all for delivering food to you!"

Yun Chenxiao smiled awkwardly, and said, "It's all this broken food box! My sister was besieged! I threw it away to relieve my sister!"

Murong Wan hurriedly grabbed Yun Chenxiao and said, "Alas, you haven't eaten yet! What are you going to eat after throwing it away?"

Yun Chenxiao laughed, and said: "I know my sister doesn't want to blame me!" After saying that, she reached out and tapped her forehead a few times.

Yun Chenxiao was used to fighting with Xiaoqi at home, and she didn't notice it, but it was the first time for Murong Wan, and it was inevitable that there would be ripples in her heart again, and when the waves hit her, she felt her heart beating wildly, and she became restless again.

Yun Chenxiao called Luo Feng over and said, "By the way, Wan'er, this is Luo Feng, my classmate and friend!"

When Luo Feng saw Murong Wan, his calm face turned red again, with some nervousness and excitement, he stared at Murong Wan bewilderedly, but couldn't speak.

"I'm Zuo Chonglin, Miss Murong, I've admired her for a long time! Today, through brother Chen Xiao's face, I was able to meet a beautiful woman. It's really a blessing that Zuo has cultivated in several lifetimes!"

Zuo Chonglin came here uninvited, Yun Chenxiao thought he was busy, so he looked at him coldly.Murong Wan didn't care much about the two of them, she caught a glimpse of Yun Chenxiao who seemed a little unhappy, and then smiled and said, "Mr. Luo, hello." She only spoke to Luo Feng, but ignored Zuo Chonglin. Xiao only introduced Luo Feng to himself, and then he also noticed that Yun Chenxiao disliked Zuo Chonglin, so he ignored him.But no matter what, it all followed Yun Chenxiao's likes and dislikes.

Zuo Chonglin felt bored, so he could only snort, and turned around resentfully and returned to his seat.Luo Feng was overjoyed, and said, "Miss Murong, you are also good!"

Yun Chenxiao waved his hands and smiled, and was about to speak when he saw a white-haired old man approaching the room.Murong Wan recognized him as the master of Pinheng Academy, and hurriedly made a face at him and said, "Uncle Wei..."

Mrs. Wei smiled kindly and said: "Girl, who is so shameless to ask you to deliver the food in person?"

Embarrassed, Murong Wan spat: "You old man!" After finishing speaking, she hastily put down the food in the food box, and whispered to Yun Chenxiao, "Remember to eat!"

Yun Chenxiao said with a smile: "That depends on whether it tastes good..."

Murong Wan just glared at her, picked up the food box and ran out.

Yun Chen Xiaoxin said: "This girl is a bit like Xiao Qi, she always tells me to eat."

Luo Feng only looked at Murong Wan's receding back from a distance, and at Yun Chenxiao's table full of food, feeling as if he had knocked over a bottle of five flavors, and he didn't know what it was like.

After dinner that night, Yun Chenxiao didn't go to sleep, and took Murong Wan to the backyard to tell her interesting stories about the academy today.Yun Chenxiao's eloquence is unparalleled, her tongue is full of flowers, and the stories she tells are even more ups and downs and fascinating.Murong Wan also smiled when she heard that, she had nothing to say except "what happened later".But just listening to it like this is already very satisfying.Until Yun Chenxiao mentioned sending Luo and Zuo two calligraphy, Murong Wan didn't quite understand and asked.

Yun Chenxiao said with a smile: "The last sentence of Dongpo's poem to Luo Feng is 'Choose all the cold branches and refuse to live, the lonely sandbar is cold'. However, there is another way of saying 'the lonely sandbar is cold', which is "Maple falls The pronunciation of Wujiang Leng' implies Luo Feng's name, so send him off."

After hearing this, Murong Wan said, "Cut, what are you dragging, you just show off after you know a few words?" But in her heart, she also secretly admired Yun Chenxiao's literary talent, and she liked it a little more.

Yun Chenxiao didn't care about Murong Wan's attitude, and continued: "As for Zuo Chonglin...haha, that idiot, even if I scold him, he is still grateful to me!"

Murong Wan was confused: "Call him? How do you say that? Oh, yes, your couplet is weird!"

Yun Chenxiao nodded and said: "Little girl is not stupid, I will give you some hints and see if you can guess it."

Murong Wan clapped her hands and laughed, "Okay, tell me! I don't believe it, I can't guess it."

Yun Chen Xiao said: "Then it's settled, if you can't guess it, you have to...well, you have to bring me meals every day!"

"Then what if you can guess it?" Murong Wan asked with blinking eyes.

Yun Chenxiao scratched her head and said, "If you guess it...um..." She rolled her eyes and said with a smile, "Well, if you guess it, I'll take you down the mountain to play, how about it?"

Murong Wan has lived near Yandang Mountain for a long time, so she is very familiar with the foot of the mountain, why should Yun Chenxiao take her with her?Just thinking of going to play with Yun Chenxiao makes me very happy again.Besides, it was originally Murong Guang's responsibility to deliver food to her, even if she lost, she would not be at a disadvantage, so she immediately agreed.

Yun Chenxiao's calculation was even better, and if Murong Wan couldn't figure it out, she was the one who benefited.It would be even better if she guessed it, she wanted to go down the mountain to play, but she was worried that there was no one to lead the way, so Murong Wan's help was naturally what she wished for.Thinking of this, Yun Chenxiao said happily, "Okay, then let me give you a hint. The first couplet is '[-]', what's behind it?"

"Eight! What's the matter?"

"Think about it again, there is no eight, did you forget about eight?" Yun Chenxiao really hoped that Murong Wan would guess it, and almost said the answer.

Murong Wan silently said: "Forget Ba? Do you want to call someone a bastard?"

Yun Chenxiao nodded and smiled and said: "Okay, I guessed it! Hmph, I didn't want to give him the first couplet, he wanted it himself! There is also the second couplet, hey, don't laugh, listen up, filial piety Loyalty is the foundation of people, propriety, justice, integrity and shame are the roots of people. These eight virtues are the foundation of humanity. My second couplet is 'filial piety, loyalty, propriety, righteousness and integrity'. What is missing?"

"Missing 'shame'?" Murong Wan said.

"Show it! It's just that there is no shame! That's Wu..." Yun Chenxiao deliberately didn't say anything, and looked at Murong Wan with a smile. You..." As she spoke, she was already trembling with laughter, and she wanted to tease Yun Chenxiao a few words, but she felt that this person was really weird, so she didn't know what to say.

Yun Chenxiao laughed and said, "Who told Zuo Chonglin to be such an idiot? Sister Wan'er, you are extremely smart! Haha, I will take you down the mountain to play after a few days of school rest! Alright, I'll go Go to bed, and you should go to bed early. Remember to call me tomorrow morning." After stroking Murong Wan's beautiful hair, she turned around and entered the room with a smile.

Murong Wan, on the other hand, was distracted and forgetful, and could only reluctantly look at the lights in Yun Chenxiao's room. After a long, long time, when the candles in the room were extinguished and the room was completely dark, she smiled lightly and slowly. turned around and went.
