Clam Pearl

Chapter 43

Ah Run was lying on the kang, leaning his arms on his pillow and looking at Gu Zhao with his head sideways. In his opinion, there was no part of Gu Zhao that was not beautiful, even if he was not beautiful, there was no flaw in Ah Run's feeling.Ah Run had always hated Brother Ah before, but at this moment, he suddenly felt grateful to him, if it wasn't for him, perhaps such a good Ah Zhao would be drowned in the vast sea of ​​people, and he would never have a chance to meet him again. Life, not worth mentioning.

Gu Zhao spread out the scripture scrolls written by Ah Run on the ground, and sat upright carefully pondering the meaning, style, shape, and font of the script...

Half a quarter of an hour later, Gu Zhao suddenly moved. He raised his left hand. Yes, he usually writes with his right hand.

Gu Zhao raised his left hand, weighed the ink, and after moistening it on the inkstone for a while, he wrote the pen on the new bamboo scroll without hesitation. It seemed to be imprinted in his head, and while writing, he was able to focus on chatting: "Everyone has a way to save their lives, Arun, this is my secret, don't tell it."

Ah Run was surprised: "You said you write with your left hand?"

Gu Zhao smiled: "Well, it's not just this. In the world, I can imitate any font I see just once."

Hey, 15 years of sailor life, just this little hobby, writing calligraphy. When I got on the ship, I often bought dozens of copybooks. Those copybooks have different structures and fonts. After understanding it, it became a craft.Gu Zhao used to write banners in the school. Naturally, he also wrote meeting manuscripts for the school principal to curry favor with the leaders. Since he came to this world, he can only learn to write with his unaccustomed right hand. After all, a child can write reverse words with one hand. God's word, it's hard to explain.

Ah Run was surprised and struggled to get up to watch.

Gu Zhao glared at him: "Damn you! I'll show it to you when I finish writing it later."

Ah Run had no choice but to lie down, looking at Ah Zhao with shining eyes.

Gu Zhao chuckled, and said while writing, "What do you think, I'm just a dandy waiting to die? An ignorant person? Let me tell you! In fact, I am a well-educated person with a big library in my heart." ?”

Ah Run replied with a chuckle, pampering him and making mischief: "Well, Ah Zhao is a well-learned man with a library in his heart."

"Look, don't you believe it? I really don't have a library. Although the word thing is a bit weird, then I can't come to this world for nothing, right? I blame the poor being sent here. God has to compensate me. I You don’t understand if I tell you this, don’t look at me, I don’t have a photographic memory, I just forget it once, what I can write today, I will forget tomorrow, what a strange ability, just like Alzheimer’s disease... ..." While helping Ah Run to relax, the speed in Gu Zhao's hands did not slow down at all.

Ah Run tilted his head and sneered, and didn't speak, just watching him talking nonsense.

"Well... the library, I don't have one. I have a lot of big truths. I am the best at talking big truths. I used to do this. But this is enough for me. You will be blessed in the future , even if you eat and drink at home and stay there, no matter how bad it is, we can sell calligraphy for money to support you. Really, don’t laugh, look at this emperor’s exam. I heard from him that the exam question is “One act is unrighteous, and one cannot bear it.” Politics.’ If I had known this, I would have gone for the exam too, and I would be number one in the exam so that I could marry Ah Zhao and go home as my wife.”

"As for the question of policy today, the country needs recovery, and this is the right question."

Gu Zhao sneered: "Cut, it's all about it, isn't it just that your majesty said, I want to govern the country in a benevolent and righteous way, who will help me? Tell me, how stupid is this question? Emperors who have been asking this for hundreds of years, The current emperor still asks this!"

"Isn't it right for benevolence to rule the country?" Ah Run's tone was full of blame.

Gu Zhao stopped writing, spread out the written scroll on the mat to dry, opened another scroll and spread it out, and continued to write: "Well, I can't explain in detail, but, in summary, I You still will, you go to govern the subjects, the subjects are living people, not stones and blocks, people have emotions, just like me, I like Arun, even if I kill me, I still like you, what should I do?"

Ah Run put his head on his arms and smiled triumphantly.

"Hey, I like you. You have accumulated great virtue in your previous life. What are you not satisfied with? You are just a shoddy fake monk. I am a decent town man, a noble man, do you know?"

Ah Run endured the pain to death, and there were waves of pain in his back.

"Then you say it, people have seven emotions and six desires, you can't impress him with benevolence and virtue. You say it well the first time, preach benevolence the second time, disobedient the third time, beat him on the ground, and then come back and say Rende, don’t listen, hit him again, until he cries and shouts, please, be kind to me! This is the real politics, do you understand politics, hey, my family’s status is not good, and I have never entered the soul of the country Center, otherwise, I must be a good talent, look, how level I am speaking."

Ah Run seemed to have realized something, but he was surprised. He looked at Gu Zhao and said, "Ah Zhao actually knows the way of being a king."

"Hey? Is this sentence called bastard? Don't look at me with such admiration. In fact, I am telling you that the family is really nothing. Don't be afraid. There are many things in the world. They all I don't know, of course I don't know much, but what! Hey, I will sum it up!" Gu Zhao thought of this, picked up the brush and rubbed his chin, and realized something.

He thought for a while, then looked back at what Ah Run was thinking, afraid that he would think about unpleasant things again, so he continued to chatter: "In summary, you don't understand, I mean... er, look, I will put Knowing is condensed, it’s like a country should pay attention to the rule of virtue, what else should it pay attention to? Let me tell you, benevolence is only one kind, so don’t keep wandering around it. In addition to benevolence, there are also self-cultivation and human relations. , world style, politics, discussion of the way, the way of the monarch, the way of officials, talking about war, talking about the nation, talking about literature, talking about history, talking about religion, talking about the economy, talking about education, talking about education, talking about academics, talking about literature and art... the king, The head of the family only asks for one type of person when he opens the imperial examination, so this country is nothing more than that. Of course, we also have great talents. There are a few gentlemen in my house. The skill of mental arithmetic depends on the general trend technique..."

Gu Zhao thought of something, and laughed: "Hey, what are you talking about, who is not Gu Qian?"

The brush was flowing quickly, and the brushwork was so smooth. Ah Run lay there, shocked for a long time before asking: "How did Ah Zhao know this?"

Gu Zhao nodded and looked at the bamboo scroll in front of him: "I don't know, what should I say, you want me to write articles, I can't write, I just know the truth, um... You want to teach? That's not possible, just I'm an idiot who knows a little bit about everything, but if you want me to write an article detailing it, I won't."

Ah Run nodded and said, "That's the case, it's amazing."

Gu Zhao smiled: "Besides, after accepting me as a teacher, I won't be able to marry you as a wife, so I won't tell you, I won't tell you...um..."

Ah Run thought for a while, but his expression suddenly became serious. He struggled to get up, so Gu Zhao had to put down his brush and looked at him and said, "You man, if you want to ask, you have to wait for you to recover. Besides, the most urgent thing is to The difficulties ahead, Ah Run, allow me some time, don't be afraid, wait for me to think of a perfect plan, steal you out quietly, and never let you suffer such hard work again."

Ah Run was stunned for a moment, then got down on the ground again and said, "Well, how about...steal me...out?"

Gu Zhao's pen tip stopped, and when he remembered something, he stood up, went to Ah Run and squatted down, took a bag from his neck, poured three copper seals out of it, took one, and carefully put it into the bag. One of them was placed in Ah Run's hand.

"Ah Run, I will be away for a few months. I won't be able to take care of you during these days. If you have anything to do, you can write to a trustee and go to Changsheng Nanhuo in the city to find Mr. Bo. Money. It’s less than [-] per month, you can take it as you like, you have to remember, this is my wife’s book, you accept it, but you agree, and you are not allowed to pretend to be someone else in your heart.”

After Gu Zhao finished speaking, he blushed and went back to write.

Ah Run stared blankly at the copper seal in his hand. On the back of the copper seal was a strange sculpture, half man, half fish, with three words 'Poseidon' on the print.

A wonderful feeling spread all over Ah Run's body. This feeling was sore, painful, and beautiful. Ah Run held the seal tightly and thought to himself: "So, I accept it, and you are welcome!"

As time passed, Ah Run felt pain and sleepiness all over his body, and fell asleep unconsciously.When he felt dazed, his body moved a little, and Ah Run felt pain in his back, he opened his eyes. At this moment, it was the second day, and Master Huiyi was inspecting the whip wound on his back.

Ah Run looked around nervously, Gu Zhao had already left, and the written scriptures were spread all over the floor.The sun shines through the frame, covering the scriptures full of characters one by one, Ah Run's heart aches and hesitation, some tears are forced to hold back in the corner of his eyes, he seldom cries, but now he wants to cry once.

Gently helping Ah Run to adjust his clothes, Master Huiyi smiled, and the monk who practiced the closed mantra actually spoke: "Your Highness hasn't slept so well for a long time."

Ah Run retracted his fist, but the seal in his hand told him that everything was not a dream.

Master Huiyi carefully helped Ah Run cover the quilt, bent down to pack the scripture scrolls, and finally he took a scroll and spread it out in front of Ah Run.

The font on the scriptures is actually exactly the same as Ah Run's handwriting.

"Gu Qiye is a real national scholar. God has mercy on you. Your Highness is blessed. Your Highness looks at the meaning of this brushstroke, although it is the same as your Highness, but it has no sharpness. I am afraid that he will be very satisfied when he sees it. The seventh master helped His Highness write it, it is really... Amitabha..." The monks like to attribute the meaning of Zen that they can't describe to Amitabha.

Ah Run was lying there, his head was in a mess: "Teacher, Ah Zhao... Ah Zhao is different from others, so he doesn't know these things, and he is also different."

Master Huiyi smiled: "Yes, the poor monk knows that Gu Qiye is a true national scholar. One day, His Highness will return to the Datong. Gu Qiye will be the greatest help for His Highness to prove the Datong and be proud of the world."

I don't know what happened, Ah Run felt a little bit reluctant, he sat up slowly, took a sip of water from Master Yi Hui's hand, then avoided the question, he just said softly: "Teacher, Brother Huang is dying soon. ,He's crazy."

"Amitabha, today, in order to prove the great authority, he even forced the Queen Mother out of the palace. The Queen Mother refused, and His Majesty even tied up his brother and threatened him with a whip. He is tyrannical today. Your Highness is at ease. After a few days, his atrocities will be known all over the world." Forbearance, Your Highness, for the real co-lords of the world, those who are appointed by heaven will be tested in this way. Zhao Chunxi whipped his own brother, forced his mother, tortured and killed good ministers, and heaven does not favor him."

Ah Run nodded, pulled down the collar of the monk's uniform, stood up slowly while leaning on the edge of the bed, pulled on his shoes, walked slowly to the window, opened the window and looked out for a while.

Last night, the sky was extremely dark, and there was no star halo, but at this moment, there are ladder clouds on the bank of the sky, spreading out layer by layer, like a ladder to the sky, climbing to the scorching sun. That's it.

The sun was scorching hot, the dark clouds in his heart were suddenly pushed away by the light, and it was clear and bright. Ah Run had never thought that he was so firm today, whether it was imperial power or the throne, those were not important, the most important thing was that he wanted to be with Ah Zhao , some things must be done, he wants to push away all the forces in the world that prevent them from being together, as long as there are obstacles along the way, he will wipe them all out without hesitation, for the sake of Ah Zhao, the world will be destroyed again how?

Master Huiyi looked at Ah Run, feeling more and more happy in his heart. He couldn't help but be grateful for his careful thinking before. If Gu Qiye hadn't seen the foot injury that day, he had an idea and persuaded Prince Yi to take the throne again. How much thought does it take.

There was a strange expression on Ah Run's face, which Gu Zhao had never seen before. He was disdainful, sarcastic, arrogant but not angry. , is still a person, but unfortunately, he is a lunatic, a pitiful and pathetic lunatic. He is also pitiful. From the beginning of his youth, he accompanied his father to fight the world, and always thought that he would inherit the throne. Unfortunately, he was not lucky. He was poisoned, blinded, and lost the qualification to inherit the great rule.

Sometimes, Gu also thinks, Brother Guna is not easy, he has been working hard all his life, he is mean to others, and he is even more mean to himself. Now, he himself who is mean will not live long.Since he is not called Guhuo, then everyone should stop living! "

Master Huiyi clasped his palms together: "Everything is determined by fate, it is fate."

Ah Run sneered: "Teacher really doesn't look like a monk, but fate is something that I never believe in. Fate? Who decides? Others believe it, but I don't believe it!" He spread his hand to look at the copper seal, and handed it to Master Huiyi Said in front of him: "Teacher, look at this seal..."

Master Hui Yi clasped his hands together and laughed: "Last night, the poor monk heard it all. Originally, the poor monk was worried about the lack of military expenditures. Now... Really, Your Highness God Bless, when the time comes, everything will come to fruition."

Ah Run nodded lightly: "Well, tell Li Zhai and the others that the time has come and it's time to swim out." Ah Zhao, you have to wait for me, you have to wait for me well.

Hui Yi clasped his hands together and nodded, took the seal, and handed a writing brush to A Run's hand. There were bloodstains on the shaft of the writing brush: "Gu Qiye wrote eighty volumes of scriptures, and two of them were wasted this night. Don't worry, Your Highness can take a good rest."

Ah Run took the brush, took a silk scarf and wrapped it thinly, and said while wrapping it: "When I was young, my mother used to say that Gu is a blessed man. I don't believe it, but these years...now I know it." , Blessed alone, blessed in the future.”

"Your Highness only has three flesh and blood, I'm afraid in the future..." Master Hui Yi felt a little uneasy.

Ah Run waved his hand: "It's good to have a son...one main concubine, two side concubines...there are fifteen of them, big and small. Didn't that one say that he wanted to die for Gu? In the end, who took a look at Gu? They are all living well, they are alone on the mountain, they are still well-clothed and well-fed. It has been a few years, but one of them thinks that after the Chinese New Year, the orphan needs to be accompanied? Don’t say this in the future, you go out..."You want If you are rich and honorable, if you can afford it, the other orphans will be gone.

Master Huiyi turned and left, and slowly closed the door.

Ah Run stared at the light from the wooden lattice window, shining on the ground one after another, and there was a hazy shadow on the desk, lying there writing, writing...

Yes, he agreed. In this life, there should only be one true love. He only wants Ah Zhao, and it can only be Ah Zhao.When he was young, the teacher who taught the class often used the story of the rebellious king and the beauty to warn him. At that time, he didn't bother, but now thinking about it, for one person, destroying the world, destroying the world, so what, the word love, all mortal illusions, It's all nothingness, there is one person in my heart, that's enough!
