[Comprehensive] Those years when I memorized the Analects of Confucius

The man who was talking so much just now seemed to be a different person now, his face flushed slightly, he forced a dry smile, and said: "Sir, stop joking, I think when you named it 'Jianjia', I must have my own thinking, if my husband is dissatisfied with me, I can just say it, why should I wrong myself?"

The boy let out an "oh" and didn't seem to care too much: "Then I announce that from now on, this pen will be renamed 'Taoyao'."

Jianjia, which means pursuing what you love but not getting it.

But Taoyao is a poem congratulating a girl on her marriage.

Such a diametrically opposite transposition, the hidden meaning is too obvious, the man can't understand it even if he pretends to be stupid, he froze there for a while, but the shop owner didn't intend to let him go down the steps, so he picked it up from the counter. With a pen, he wrote the word "Taoyao" neatly on another blank label on the spot.

Draco, who didn't know the twists and turns inside, just found it incredible.

Customers take the initiative to sell products, but the boss does not show face to face.

How on earth did this store not go out of business until now?

He was a little puzzled, and he didn't think about the connotation of the poem's title for a while—it is true that he had learned about the cultural traditions of this country during the process of learning Chinese, but these were superficial after all, and would not be difficult for anyone who is not Chinese. For native speakers, classical Chinese and poetry are an insurmountable gap in understanding.

Just hearing the last sentence of this "argument", Kong Yun said helplessly: "Mr. Taibai, please stop making such jokes."

It was a sentence that was very similar to the man in front of him, but the young man didn't mean to be angry. He put down the new tag, looked at Kong Yun slowly with a pair of bright black eyes, smiled at him, and didn't speak, for no reason. Gives a meaningful feeling.

But at this time, Kong Yun had already turned his head, and his eyes returned to the ink in the cabinet in front of him.

As if he hadn't noticed the other party's other eyes at all, his eyes scrutinized the ink in the bottles and cans for a while, and soon he said again: "I want to step on the branches, watch the sea, sing with white heads, and moon in the West River." , and Feng Qiuhuang... Forget it, the inks of the Song Ci series, except for Huanxisha and Linjiangxian, come with a copy of each."

Skillfully pronouncing a series of names, he hesitated for a moment, then turned his gaze to the pen that was still in Draco's hand: "This one..." Kong Yun paused, and then said: "This pen is still in Draco's hand." 'Taoyao' is also included."

As soon as he finished speaking, and he didn't see any movement from the boy, two paper figurines, one red and one green, floated down from the counter by themselves, and the moment they landed, they turned into two identical twin girls.

One in red and one in green.One is heroic and the other is clear and graceful.

As soon as the two stood still, they bowed slightly to the young man behind the counter, and then packed the bags for Kong Yun neatly.

The female customer who was warmly introduced by the man just now woke up like a dream, looked at the shop owner sitting behind reading a book with reddish cheeks, and hurriedly said: "I...I want to be like him too. !" Looking back, the man who was bragging loudly just now has long since disappeared.

But, no one will care.

The door of the store opened and closed, and more customers poured in in twos and threes.After Kong Yun paid the bill, he pulled Draco out together.

"...So, is that pen called 'Jianjia' or 'Taoyao'?" Draco asked when they returned to the street.

Thinking about what happened in the store just now, and Mr. Taibai's pointed smile, Kong Yun said absently: "It's just a name, is it 'Jianjia' or 'Taoyao', is it important?"

"Of course." Draco said seriously, "If it's called 'Jianjia', I'll throw it away now."

Kong Yun didn't react for a while: "What?"

"Didn't you say that 'Jianjia' means pursuing what you love?" Draco seemed to think of something, and said suddenly: "By the way, what does 'Taoyao' mean?"

"..." Facing the pure, questioning eyes of the other party, it wasn't a difficult question, but Kong Yun felt that it was difficult to talk about it. He pursed his lips and said simply: "I won't tell you."

Draco: "...Huh?"

At the beginning, Draco thought that Kong Yun was just joking.After all, it's just a Chinese word, so what can't be said?

But soon, when they wandered from one end of the street to the other, the black-haired Hufflepuff always refused to talk about it. He was not familiar with the place, and he couldn't go to the street to ask someone casually, so he had to Bury the confusion in my heart, and plan to ask someone who understands when I go back.

"Then you should tell me, is it called 'Jianjia' or 'Taoyao'?" Draco had no choice but to settle for the next best thing, "Let's talk first, if it's called 'Jianjia'..." He raised Lifting his chin, pointing to a trash can on the street, he was very firm: "Then this is its best home."

There is nothing to say about this question.

Kong Yun thought about it carefully, and decided to explain from the beginning: "Mr. Taibai is different from ordinary human beings. Mr. Taibai's body is a pen. It is the soul of poetry and sword spirit integrated into the pen and ink, and it is born as a spirit. Mr.'s thoughts, words and deeds, will be It has a decisive impact on the pen and ink around you."

"In other words," Kong Yun smiled helplessly: "Even if it was really 'Jianjia' before, but Mr. Taibai said it was called 'Taoyao', then from now on, it will be 'Taoyao'. The second possibility."

When it was close to noon, they went back to the registration office at the door, found a restaurant with Mo Rong, and had lunch.

Mo Rong seems to have made up his mind to ignore the rule of "Don't talk when eating, don't talk when sleeping", and his mouth is never idle after a meal. At the beginning, he paid attention to politeness, and said things that the three of them could talk to each other for a few words. However, when he found that Draco didn't mind, and was even very interested in the topic of Fengshen Academy, he didn't have any more scruples:

"Let me tell you, those guys from Spirit Sword Palace are really annoying. On the surface they always pretend to be otherworldly, but behind their backs they try their best to use despicable means. Last year's opening ceremony, They stole the statue of Mr. Taibai overnight, and put it on the site of the Spirit Sword Palace openly, and said that Mr. Taibai belonged to the Spirit Sword Palace—a joke, Mr. Taibai is obviously from our Xuandao Palace! They must not have done it properly Learned history..."

Kong Yun: ...

No, in fact, Mr. Taibai does not belong to Xuan Dao Palace, nor does he belong to Spirit Sword Palace, and he did not even graduate from Fengshen Academy, so what are you arguing about...

But Mo Rong didn't want to hear it.

He resolutely ignored Kong Yun's justification, and continued: "Although we haven't thought of any good ideas to get revenge, in short, we have recorded this account in Xuandao Palace. This year's opening ceremony, Spirit Sword Palace Just wait and see, grandkids."

Kong Yun, who escaped the Hogwarts Lions and Snakes House dispute, never expected that there would be another house dispute waiting in the future: ...

"...You mean, you don't have any good ideas yet?" Draco, who had been quietly playing the role of listener, asked suddenly.

"Yes." Although he didn't want to admit it, Mo Rong didn't even bother to lie, he justified his defense: "This is because the people in Xuandao Palace are generally relatively simple, not as heart-hearted as theirs in Spirit Sword Palace. , it is very normal to not be able to think of any means of revenge for a while, after all, we have always advocated being aboveboard."

... Isn't it always said that the heart of Xuandao Palace is the dirtiest, polite and insane?

Probably because he didn't expect his friend to be so shameless, Kong Yun was shocked for a moment, and didn't expect to respond.

On the contrary, Draco lowered his head and thought about it, and said, "I have an idea." A smirk formed on the corner of his lips, "I just don't know if you're interested."

In all fairness, Mo Rong's impression of Draco is actually pretty good, but a good impression does not mean that he believes that the other party has different talents in some special aspects, so he asked with some doubts at the moment: " ……you?"

"That's right." Draco said very calmly, "I've always been good at this."

Kong Yun:? ? ?

Mo Rong blinked, and leaned over with the idea of ​​listening and watching.

Kong Yun didn't know that they were despicable and shameless... Bah, what were they talking about about the idea of ​​revenge? Anyway, after a minute, Mo Xiaorong came back to Kong Yun with bright eyes, and looked at him happily. Admired: "Ah Yun, your boyfriend is really a genius!"

Kong Yun: ……………

He didn't want to know the other party's definition of genius at all, really.

"So what did you teach him?"

After lunch, Mo Rong returned to his post, while Kong Yun and Draco continued their current "Journey to the East". When Kong Yun asked curiously, Draco raised his eyes and glanced at him, as if Xiaofeixiao: "Then can you please tell me first, what does 'Taoyao' mean?"

Kong Yun had no choice but to say nothing.

Draco didn't mean to ask, he smiled slightly, skipped the topic as if nothing had happened, and asked casually: "Speaking of which, is this place Hogsmeade in the East? What's its name?"

This is just a common sense question.

The person who was asked was obviously stunned for a long time before telling him in a low voice: "Kong Cheng."

Kong Yun raised his head.

There are big red lanterns colluding with each other between the houses, and the scattered ginkgo leaves are floating in the wind, skipping the overlapping paper-cuts between the branches, wandering freely in the streets of the whole small town, and the cries of vendors One after another, the laughter extended along the clean bluestone floor to an invisible distance.

"Welcome to Kongcheng."

He finally said so.
