Clam Pearl

Those two people looked at each other stupidly, they saw nothing and forgot everything.

I don't know how long it took, Xinzai begged: "Master Seven... I really can't carry it anymore."

"Hey..." Gu Zhao laughed, jumped off one leg, jumped into the room, waved his hand and said to Xinzi, "Go to the room and get my silver flower cleaning bottle, and I also need scissors."

Xinzai nodded and went away. After a while, he came in with a plain bottle inlaid with silver flowers and gave Gu Zhao a pair of scissors. Gu Zhao took pity on him and told him to go to bed. He was going to live in Arun tonight. here.

Looking carefully at Ah Run, seeing that he has no objection, he nodded and left.

It was the first time for Gu Zhao to enter Arun's room. He looked around and was a little disappointed. Arun's room was so simple. There was only a low bed against the wall, and the quilt on the bed was spread out.There are two very large four-piece cabinets next to the bed. The cabinets do not have any decorations, but are bulging against the roof. It seems that they can hold a lot of things.

There is a bamboo screen in the middle of the room, which separates the sleeping side from this side. Normally, you can’t see this side, you can only see two big cabinets. Tonight, the screen is closed, so Gu Zhao has enough privacy. blessing.

In the room on this side, there are only felt mats and desks on the floor. Against the wall on the other side, there are thousands of copied scriptures, which have been piled up like a hill. The blank bamboo slips are waiting to be filled.

"What are you looking at?" Ah Run didn't understand.

"I'm watching Ah Run's secret." Gu Zhao sat down and felt his feet loosen up.

Ah Run quickly lit a charcoal fire, fanned it with a fan for a while, and finally the room gradually warmed up.

"I can keep any secrets here." Ah Run lowered his head and said, trying to hide his flushed cheeks.With great difficulty, I caught the heart flying around and put it back in place.

"The cabinet over there is so tall, there must be a beauty hidden in it." Gu Zhao was upset and started talking nonsense.

Ah Run still laughed, but after laughing, he went under the bed to get the charcoal that he had been reluctant to light, put a dozen of them into the charcoal basin, and after putting them in, he took a fan and carefully fanned the wind eye, lest he would smoke Gu Zhao.

After lighting the fire, Ah Run sat next to Gu Zhao to watch him arrange flowers. He performed the most respectful etiquette, sitting on his knees, with his hands on his thighs, his back line straight, and his chin in his chest, because flower arrangement is a very elegant thing. He also wants to repay Gu Zhao's heart for him with the highest etiquette.

Just when he thought he was going to see an exquisite flower arrangement performance, it was a pity... um... Ah Zhao didn't know flower arrangement, right?Basically, I cut off the flower branches with scissors and stuffed them into plain bottles.

"Hey!" Ah Run couldn't bear it anymore, and his laughing voice was weird.

"Laughing fart! I don't understand, and no one taught me. Since... my father died, I was sent to the countryside... Hmm... You can just look around, it's interesting, enjoy it! "

Ah Run didn't understand what Gu Zhao was talking about. The latter part was very weird. He stretched out his hand and took Gu Zhao's job.

"Or... let me do it!"

"Hey, what I'm waiting for is your words." Gu Zhao sat lazily, with his legs protruding towards the brazier, his body leaning back, his hands supporting his weight, with a full smile on his face, Looking sideways at the beauty arranging flowers.

Ah Run stopped the scissors to look at him, he didn't care about his appearance, and even pulled the corner of his cotton robe to cover Ah Run's feet.

With this cover, Ah Run and Gu Zhao became one. In the previous life, in this life, well, this sentence again, really, Ah Run has never enjoyed the same temperature as others in the two lives. You can touch Ah Run's thigh with just one movement, Ah Run's body is so warm, tremblingly warm.

Somehow, Gu Zhao's foot accidentally touched Ah Run's thigh, and then Gu Zhao trembled, raised his neck to count the beams, Ah Run also trembled, and sat there holding the scissors and counting the petals.

Time passed quietly, more and more red in the charcoal basin, and the aroma of bamboo charcoal became stronger and stronger.

I don't know who found him first, but Ah Run started arranging flowers again.

Ah Run's flower arrangement is beautiful, like a pool of clear water flowing naturally, peaceful and comfortable.Gu Zhao didn't know how to choose flower branches, but just chose a plum blossom branch that was in full bloom, which was not the best choice for flower arrangement.However, Ah Run was able to find the best angle, and actually trimmed the flower branches with a strong sense of free and easy, which is rare for plum blossoms.Plum blossoms are reserved and elegant. Although they are arrogant, they are lonely and lonely, but Ah Run has given them a strong sense of movement.

"What are you looking at?" Ah Run suddenly stopped scissors and turned to look at Gu Zhao.

Gu Zhao stared at the plum blossoms and sighed: "Ah Run is really amazing, he can actually spark a fire."

Ah Run was stunned for a moment, then stretched out his hand to take out all the flower branches, and inserted them again.

"What's the matter?" Gu Zhao didn't understand. It was so beautiful, so enthusiastic, so high-spirited, like a flame that wanted to burn everything, why was it not satisfied?

Ah Run shook his head: "No, no."

He didn't say what was wrong, but continued to insert carefully, and asked carefully after inserting: "What about this time?"

Gu Zhao looked at Huazhi seriously: "Like a bird, it has the momentum to fly."

In this way, it was wrong again, and Ah Run had to start all over again.

"What about this time?"

"Hey, that's good, that's it."

"You have to read it carefully and tell me well." Ah Run looked at Gu Zhao seriously.

Gu Zhao tilted his mouth, looked at the newly planted plum blossoms and sighed: "Like a person, standing on a high cloud, looking down proudly, even if the wind, frost, snow and rain pass by, he is fearless, like ...that Ah Run who was hiding."

Ah Run looked at Gu Zhao with bright and bright eyes, almost drowning him. He felt sad and regretful. He looked at the plum blossoms and couldn't bear it, but still, he took the scissors and cut them off carefully. Sharp, sharp corners, Ling Chi himself over and over again, unceremoniously trimming away all the qualities he shouldn't have with scissors, Gu Zhao felt really distressed when he saw it, but he didn't say anything, just accompanied him silently until Ah Run finally cultivated a clump of plums that wanted to live far away from the world, and a taste of a hermit who wanted to hide in the mountain stream.

Gu Zhao felt distressed, so he coaxed him and said casually, "Arun is so skillful, please be my wife."

Ah Run sneered and replied: "...Ah Run is going to be a monk."

Gu Zhao waved his hand: "What's the matter? In spring and summer, you come to the mountain to ring the bell, and in autumn and winter, you will be my wife. We don't do anything, just arrange flowers for me every day."

Ah Run turned his face to look at him, looked at him for a while, nodded and replied seriously: "Okay!"

Unexpectedly, Gu Zhao's face turned red immediately, he swung his head from side to side, and sniffed for a while: "Did you drink secretly?"

Ah Run didn't feel ashamed: "Well, I drank some."

"Any more?"

So, Gu Zhao held the jug again, drank some wine, and watched the beautiful woman arrange flowers under the lamp.No matter how you look at it, how elegant he is, he has a poetic flavor in his elegance, but unfortunately he doesn't study much, and he really can't sing, but he really wants to sing. Everyone is so elegant, so he has to do something to support his head.So he lay down on the table and said with a trace of drunkenness from the beauty, "Arun, I want to recite poetry."

Ah Run scissors off a flower head.

"Really, I know some. Let me think about it..." Gu Zhao hugged his head, deeply hating that he didn't study too much in his previous life, that he grew up in the south, and that his head was full of poems, really, how many Yes, in textbooks, on TV, and in movies, I often mutter about it, but I just can’t remember, what exactly did it come from?He was sullen and suffocated, and Ah Run ignored him, but cherished the cut petals and carefully put them in a piece of cloth.

"Cough... yes... there are early plum blossoms in the garden, and the year's cold blooms... how about this sentence?" Finally, Gu Zhao felt complacent when he came up with a sentence.

Ah Run was a little surprised, stopped the scissors and looked at him: "It's okay, what's the next sentence?"

Gu Zhao frowns again: "I forgot... I think about it, I really can't remember, as if a young daughter-in-law cut plum blossoms and put them on the cabinet at home, um... that's what it means..."

Accidentally... another wrong cut, Ah Run looked at Gu Zhao sadly, thinking that he did it on purpose.

Gu Zhao spread his hands innocently, can't he really remember, who has nothing to do to read poetry in modern times!Only watch when you are full and have nothing to do.That is...he has lived many years, but that is also...he earns money every day to buy insurance, pay a mortgage, his parents have a bad family, and the social pressure is great, so he has time to read poetry and essays.

The poem he said is called Zaomei. The original sentence is: There are Zaomei in the garden, and the year is cold.The young women are fighting to climb and fold, and they will return to the mirror stand.I still say that I don't see enough, and I want to tear it apart with scissors.It is a poem by Meng Haoran in the Tang Dynasty.

He can remember, but in this verse, there are plum blossoms and scissors.

Ah Run sighed, thought for a while, and then read softly: "The red plums are finely cut, and the top of the cliff once opened in anger. Don't spare the gold-threaded clothes, the cold people are so lonely. Don't complain, and the dusty clothes are light and refined. Lingxueyuan Go ahead, Rouge knocks on the door."

Gu Zhao was stunned, and then sighed after a while: "Ah Run's singing is really good."

Ah Run laughed: "It's not good. After studying for a few days, it's a pity...you can't go to school later. It's just that you know the rules and read indiscriminately. If the bird knows it, it will definitely criticize it and recite ten or eight poems. ridicule us."

That bird refers to Xue He. Xue He doesn't like Ah Run, and Ah Run doesn't like him either.Xue He's name is A Run, that fake monk.Ah Run called Xue He, that bird.

Gu Zhao smiled: "We don't care about him. He will rely on ten or eight poems to lie to officials in the future. We just listen well. It's just that Ah Run's poems are too sad, like a little daughter-in-law who can't get married. This is not good either, let’s not mention it and talk about being happy.”

Ah Run stopped, fiddled with the angle of the bottle, and asked, "Is there anything else to be happy about?"

Gu Zhao pondered: "Well... I can talk about legends, wild words."

"Then tell me."

"Okay... does Ah Run know how big the world is?"

"Well, I don't know about this."

"I do know."

"Hehe, tell me how big the world is."

"But it's big. On the south side, past the direction of the sea, there are people of all colors living here, including black people, red people and white people."

"Hugh lied to me, why are there black people?"

"Hey, it's just nonsense. I say this, you have to listen to it as it is."

"Hehe, well, then you can continue talking."

"The black people live in a very hot place. In that hot place, there is only bitter summer all year round, so they don't like to wear clothes. Those men and women always show their breasts and belly."

"...!...!... Is there such a shameless place?"

"Everyone is like this, how can there be shame? What you said is wrong. Shame is a word that others tell you. Others don't know how to be ashamed. You should be ashamed yourself!"

"That's true, if it's all like this, the shame will be gone."

"Those black people are not fully exposed, just like black men, when they grow up, they put a wooden pipe in their mouths."

Gu Zhao pointed to his lower body, comparing the length, the poor Arun's face was distorted, and he heard something new, so he didn't dare to intervene, so he could only bear it.

"That black girl, when she grows up, smears colored mud all over her body as rouge, and dresses delicately to choose a man. Seeing that man standing in a row, whose pipe is thick and long, she looks for it. Being a son-in-law at home, wow... It's pitiful when the pipe is picked at night. There are often couples who fight the next day and hate each other's fraudulent deception. Unfortunately, the night is over, and the goods cannot be returned. If you eat coptis, you will know the pain."

Ah Run finally couldn't help it, he lay down on the table and burst out laughing, he clutched his stomach, and imagined a situation in his head, a group of pure black people lined up in two rows to watch the pipes...

After laughing for a while, his laughter stopped abruptly, and his face showed sourness, all because of one sentence: "A dumb man eats coptis, he knows the pain himself."
