A world of glory

Chapter 22 Tasting Qingming and Confidant Friends Discussing Autumn...

Qin Yi thought to himself: "From my previous life to the present, I have met people who are not ordinary. Although I know that there are some hermits and scholars in the world who are full of knowledge, they are naturally famous and elegant, but I have never seen such bright and self-satisfied people. It's because of this." Qi Xuan looked back, saw Qin Yi, and praised in his heart: "What a handsome young man, with handsome eyebrows and beautiful eyes. , the jade looks like a god, and the description is outstanding." Qin Yi also wore a golden crown embroidered suit, followed by three or five servants of short jackets, silk trousers, silk socks and satin shoes, Qi Xuan knew that Qin Yi was of extraordinary background, and thought to himself "It's no wonder that people often say, Xie Lanyangui, I only look at this young man in a beautiful dress, and he never thinks about words or deeds. He has his own demeanor." Although he feels close, he doesn't know Qin Yi's temperament and hobbies. He is afraid that he has a strange temperament and is lonely. It's hard to say, and I'm afraid that he will be extravagant and expensive, and I like to listen to flattery.I just feel that there is nothing good in the world.

Qin Yi came to his senses and replied with a smile: "The brightness of heaven and earth is like the sun and the moon. From ancient times to the present, its name will never go away. If you are poor, you will be good for yourself, and if you are rich, you will benefit the world. There is nothing like this After hearing this, Qi Xuan knew that Qin Yi's high sentiments and aspirations were not comparable to ordinary dandies, so he worshiped himself: "There is no better way to plant virtue than to plant trees. Its song makes it taller, and its harmony makes it widowed. If you fall on the fence, you will die in the frontier."

After answering each other, they looked at each other and smiled, then exchanged names, and by the lotus pond, they wrote poems in conjunction, talking and laughing happily.Talking about the classics and rules, there are quite similarities, and I feel like a confidant.When the scorching sun was in full swing, Qi Xuan said: "Today's conversation is on the rise, but the scorching sun is like a fire. Why don't you go to the humble house and drink tea and papers, it would be cool." Qin Yi readily agreed, and followed Qi Xuan .

Let's say that Qin Yi and the others went up the steps, turned a few turns, and passed a stone bridge. There was a stone path with green bamboos of one color beside the path. Along the path, they went straight up the uneven stone steps, but saw Walking along a path of pines and cypresses, surrounded by flowers, I walked for a while, and suddenly saw a bamboo fence. I heard the gurgling water, bypassed the mottled bamboo fence, and saw the red mountains and green streams, and five mountain houses.There is an ancient well in front of the house, and there are several mulberry and elm trees in front of the house, but there is a bed of vegetables and several wild plums in the back of the house.Standing by the well in front of the house were two boys who were carrying a bucket of water together, laughing and laughing at each other.

Qi Xuan only smiled and said to Qin Yi: "These two children, one Zhaoying and the other Fuyun, followed me from the East China Sea to Beijing, but they are a little naive and naive, and they don't understand etiquette." Qin Yi smiled gently, and said No words.After entering the room, there is a six-legged couch of boxwood carved with plum patterns facing you. On the wall is a Yaoqin. A blue and white phoenix-ear vase with tangled branches and lotus patterns, a layer of plain white silk is pasted on the walls on both sides, and an antique shelf on one side, on which are placed some pine wooden boxes, on which the titles of books are written on plain paper.On one side is a nanmu book case.

Qi Xuan invited Qin Yi to sit on the couch, cooked tea himself, and brought in a tea tray with colorful mountains and flowing water pictures.He took another sapphire octagonal cup with folded ears and a white jade dragon-handled peach-shaped cup, poured tea, and handed the white jade dragon-handled peach-shaped cup to Qi Xuan. I only offer a cup of clear tea to reward a gentleman." Qin Yi took the tea and took a sip, but felt that it was cold and sweet, and the taste was mellow, so he smiled and asked: "This water is clear and light, not like ordinary plum, snow and bamboo dew, but Bingfeng spring water. After hearing this, Qi Xuan just smiled and said: "The spring water is not wrong, this water is a urn of cold spring water I took when I passed by Ganquan Temple in Yunzhou last year, buried in the bamboo forest for another half a year, and I just took it out today. "Qin Yi heard this, and asked curiously: "But the Ganquan Temple where 'Oasis is cleared with a drink'?" Qi Xuan said with a smile: "It's exactly here. I originally wanted to live in the temple and study behind closed doors. Unexpectedly Since the beacon smoke of the previous dynasty, the Zen temple has been abandoned, there is no one in the tent, and only an old monk lives in a hut, so he only took an urn of cold spring and came to Beijing in advance."

Qin Yi tasted the warm tea in the cup again, and said directly: "Cold spring water is fine, but this tea has slightly warped leaves and a clear green color, but I have never seen it before." He came in with tea fruit, and after listening to Qin Yi's words, he sneered and said, "He also said that he is a transcendent person, but he is also a golden jade vulgar thing, and he doesn't even know Bijian." Qin Yi was not angry at all, not talking about his past life, Talking about this life alone, I have heard some sarcastic remarks. Besides, this boy is only seven or eight years old, if he really cares about it, it is his fault.I just looked down at the cup in my hand, and saw that the white jade cup was fine in texture, embossed with peach blossoms and peach branches, carved with a dragon as the handle, and intertwined with the peach branches, and engraved with four small seal scripts on the side of the cup. Forward old things.Qi Xuan yelled angrily: "You ignorant Tong'er, who has read a few books and knows a few things, dares to show off indiscriminately. He doesn't usually talk about you, but he becomes more and more unrestrained." That Tong'er rarely saw Qi Xuan angry, She was so frightened that she froze like a wooden chicken, and tears rolled in her eyes.

Seeing this, Qin Yi only pulled Qi Xuan, changed the subject, and said, "Brother Qi, I saw that this cup is engraved with the words Fushou Millennium, but is it a treasure from Prince Ye's mansion?" Knowing that Qin Yi built a ladder for him, he only said to Tong'er: "I haven't put down the plate and went out." Seeing that Tong'er put down the plate and went out, he turned to Qin Yi and said, "Brother Qin, I don't know. The imperial court loves rare playthings, and King Ye is the best among them. Although this white jade cup belongs to the previous dynasty, it is not loved by King Ye. If it is said that the treasures of Prince Ye’s mansion, every cup is ingenious, how can it be my humble cup? Things are comparable." After speaking, Qi Xuan took a sip of tea, and said: "Speaking of the fall of the previous dynasty, and the rise of this dynasty, there are days. Obsessed with wine and sex, licentious and immoral, until the end of the emperor, the royal family was extremely extravagant. The monarch was immoral, God was wrathful, there were earthquakes in the west, floods in the south, and droughts every year in the prosperous areas of the south of the Yangtze River. Man-made disasters. The founding emperor of this dynasty, Gao, was born in a humble family, well aware of the sentiments of the people, lightly prose and light on corvee, clarified the administration of officials, frugal and restrained extravagance. Benevolent government, live with the people. Although there are frontier wars in the world, but there are strong generals and capable ministers, there is no need to worry."

Qin Yi sighed at the festival: "The scenery of the mountains wears away the present and the past, and the sound of the water flows through the years. The ups and downs of the clouds and rains are countless, and it looks like looking back. Brother Qi only sees the reincarnation of the sky. Don't you know that the founding emperor of the previous dynasty is also a hero like the ancestor emperor of the current court. , Just let him play the game, but he will not be able to defeat the virtuous descendants of future generations, but lament the innocence of the people." He laughed again: "I often hear people say that the glory of a gentleman will be killed in the fifth generation. With some family business, the parents still think about hard work, frugality and self-denial, but the children are extravagant, and when it comes to the grandson, they are already ruined. It can be seen that the world is like this, and there is nothing to do."

Qi Xuan just sighed: "Although this is the case, how can future generations not be reminded of the Yao and Shun generations and the Xia and Shang millennia. It is a pity that among the many dynasties of this generation, there is no such thing as a smooth sailing for generations to come?" Qin Yi couldn't help laughing, just said: "It's easy to make the weather go smoothly, but it's difficult to make it last forever. Brother Qi doesn't see anyone who doesn't seek immortality and Taoism. It's not exactly what Brother Qi thinks. Only the gods in the sky also have the fairy palace in heaven, I want to come to the emperor and immortal king that day, but it will last for thousands of years and live as long as the sky." Qi Xuan knew that Qin Yi made fun of him, but because of an old incident in his childhood, he was born with an idiot, and he was usually free and easy. When it comes to the sufferings of the people, I can't help but get to the bottom of it.Then he asked bluntly: "Thousands of years and generations are just jokes. As long as the weather is smooth, it is difficult and difficult. How can you say it is easy?" After hearing this, Qin Yi only smiled and said: "Since last year, there have been floods and droughts. Linzhou and Gaozhou have become scorched earth. There is also a drought in Beijing, the heat is unbearable, and the fields are dry. But how does Brother Qi see my Zhuangzi?" Qi Xuan said: "I came from Yunzhou, and there are many villages along the way. , I can only see that this village is different. The people in the village have warm clothes and enough food, live and work in peace and contentment, do not close their doors at night, and do not pick up things on the road. If this is the case alone, it is just that the life is rich and the folk customs are simple. Although it is rare, it is not special. Only in this village Among them, he cleared roads every mountain, built bridges when meeting water, and was good at water conservancy, but he was far different from other Zhuangzi who burned forests to farm and drained lakes to fish."

Qin Yi said with a smile: "Brother Qi is absurdly praised, no matter what else, he just said that my village can be called good weather?" Qi Xuan smiled and replied: "Naturally." Qin Yi said with a smile: "How big is the world? Also, where there is a lot of water and where there is little rain, God can’t understand them one by one. Only by following the time of the day will things always succeed. If there is a lot of water here, I will build canals to divert the river. Where there is little rain, I will build kilns and dig wells. Although there are many disasters, they do not hurt the root cause. Furthermore, if the rice and millet harvests are bumper, grain prices fall, and the fields are barren, I order the farmers to plant mulberry and raise ducks, and grow mushrooms to hatch chickens. Today's officials are clear and bright, and the corvee is light and the tax is light. If the situation is defeated in troubled times, I will add a big tax today and another battle tomorrow, and I will be able to do everything I can, but I can only sigh and feel helpless." Put the teacup again, and said with a smile: "In troubled times, there are so many people who rise up against the rebellion, like sparks starting a prairie fire, which is the reason for the excessive taxation and the people's livelihood. It seems that in this peaceful world, there are people who rise up against the rebellion, and it is only one or two desperate bandits and hungry people. Only one county magistrate can quell the chaos. That's why I said that it is easy for the wind and rain to flow smoothly, but it is difficult for thousands of years."

Not to mention how Qin Yi and Qi Xuan have the same temperament and spirit.It was only talking about Peiyu and Yulan discussing what happened to Lan Xiang and others in the mansion. Although Lan Xiang and others made their own mistakes, the two still felt sad and talked about it again, before Yulan took the box and went out .
