Chaoyuan Road

"Sir, is this a sentence?" Yang Jian smiled, and then said to him, "It's a pity that a mantis is like a chariot, and a fool is defying the sky with his sword." Before he finished speaking, he felt that something was wrong, so he wanted to explain. Fan Sheng had heard it early. Then, feeling unhappy, he looked at Yang Jian for a moment and said: "The ancients said that there are many gentlemen (hu)."

Yang Jian was stunned, knowing that he was resentful, and he couldn't speak directly. He only satirized himself as being pale and beardless, not like a gentleman. After thinking about it, it was because he said something carelessly, and he didn't argue. He poured himself a cup of tea and smiled without saying a word. .But listening to Cun Xin laughing beside him, he said: "Do you have to grow a beard to be a gentleman? You have to follow me, this sentence should be correct-the master said, the villain Fan (Fan) must (Xu) also."

As soon as the words came out, both Yang and Fan forgot their embarrassment, and the scholar laughed and said: "Young lady is ice and snow smart, unlike me, a rotten scholar, with a sharp mouth, a thick skin and a hollow belly." Sir, you are too self-effacing, I think you have a bright heart, only in your stomach..."

"How is the stomach?"

Cun Xin blinked and said, "It's out of season!" The three of them laughed again, and Fan Xu sighed: "The girl is to blame, but what can I do if it's in time? Nowadays, there are many gentlemen in the wild and villains in court. A little bit of ink disturbs the government, cannot be the master of the people, protects the environment and the people and appeases the four directions, even the gods refuse to take care of all living beings, and the wind, frost, snow and rain destroy in every possible way."

He was so worried and angry, but Longnu couldn't understand.She was born as a dragon god, and although she doesn't treat all beings like ants, she also knows that "the rise and fall of a country, and the blessings and misfortunes of people, everything is predestined by God", so even though she sees the distress of ordinary people, she only sighs in her heart that "a gnat may shake a tree", because Said: "Sir, it is very good to care about the world. But life is short, like a drop in the ocean, like dust, ordinary people are just popular and calm, and they are at peace with the situation. Besides, the safety of the world depends on a respectable person. We wait for the poor It’s enough for Confucianism to know, why bother to accuse the heavens and the earth of sowing disasters?”

But Fan Sheng didn't appreciate it: "Knowing but not doing, it's just unknown!" He said angrily, "When the world is at peace, it is the world of high-ranking officials and nobles. Once Kyushu is overthrown, this world will suddenly become the world of ordinary people. Ordinary people bear the pain together."

"Whether you want to take the responsibility or not, you have to take it." Cun Xin persuaded, "If the state has the way, you will be an official, if the state has no way, you will hide. Wouldn't it be better to be wise and protect yourself?"

"The morals of this world have reached the point where we can't take it easy!" Fan Xu replied, "For example, if a person is seriously ill and dies tomorrow, how can he use soothing prescriptions? Nowadays, one is expensive and the other is cheap, so just take it." According to the Fasi Yamen, as long as the ordinary people dare to sell three catties of vitriol, three buckets of wine, or ten catties of salt, it is a capital offense. But today, eunuchs are allowed to buy officials and sell them. If you have ten thousand gold, it is not difficult to be a Taiwei. The civil and military in the Manchu Dynasty are full of copper stink. Occasionally, a good official revitalizes the government, but he is persecuted to leave the capital. In the capital, the purple-clothed nobles are expensive, but in the countryside, the bones are exposed in the wilderness. Thousands of miles away, there is no one inhabited. If there is a way in the sky, how can we allow such rampage and harm to the people? The scholars of our generation were educated by the sages, and we should use the sword to help Li and cultivate Qi Zhiping. It is a pity that the time of my life is not with me. I can't meet the Lord of the Ming Dynasty and show my grand plans. Even the beautiful scenery of the mountains, forests, water, moon, and beautiful scenery is fleeting and will never be regained."

Cun Xin grew up in the Dragon Palace since she was a child, and never knew that there are eunuchs running rampant in the mortal world. Seeing Fan Xu feeling sad now, she thinks about herself and Yang Jian, even though they live the same life as the heaven and the earth, but they still have to deal with it. Counting only a few tens of years, I can't help but feel sad for him. I couldn't find words to comfort him for a while. As I was thinking about it, I only heard Yang Jian say indifferently: "Mr. They are all in place, just like the bright moon in the sky, although there are waxes and wanes, they have existed forever. Even the evening wind and white dew on the shore, and the twilight smoke and clouds are shared by all people in the world. They are inexhaustible and inexhaustible. Wash your heart with the cool breeze, and the bright moon lingers in your arms, how can you belittle yourself and lament in vain?" Before the words fell, just as the wind rolled up the curtain, a round of bright moon was in the sky, and the shadows of toads floated on the river, and reflected into the cabin by the color of the water, a room Qinghui overflows the window, in the cup, in the eyes, and in the bottom of the heart, swaying.

Even though Fan Xu was full of resentment, he couldn't help but be infected by the beautiful scenery, and said with a smile: "Brother Yang's words are like a clear wave washing away dust, and a cave piercing the emptiness. I was so full of depression when I got such a good night. There is almost no wine on board, otherwise it will be a big white!"

Cun Xin pointed at the teacup, pursed her lips and said with a smile: "There is tea when there is no wine, and strong tea can be used instead of few wines, it will show your strength of character!" : "Boater, can Mr. Fan, my family, be on the boat?"

"Alas," Fan Xu's hand holding the cup stopped in mid-air, and he sighed, "People are in this world, and they are bound to be unavoidable." When he got up and looked out of the cabin, he saw a general character boy looking on the shore with a lantern. Seeing Fan Xu poking his head, he hurriedly shouted: "Sister, I found you! My aunt told me to come to look for my husband. She said that the village head came to urge the department again, knocking on doors from house to house, disturbing the neighbors. My aunt told you to go home quickly. .”

Hearing this, Fan Xu put his cup heavily on the table and said: "I paid the money before and sent this guy away, but today I don't know what name it is for, it's just to extort money." He smiled and said, "I originally wanted to appreciate the moon with my brothers and sisters, but I didn't want to have this half-night leisure. Forget it," he clasped his fists and said, "I have paid the boat fare, please ask brothers and sisters to appreciate the moon for me. Drive the tiger away from home!" After saying that, he got off the boat.Cun Xin glanced at Yang Jian's expression, saw that he also had regrets on his face, thought for a while and smiled and said, "Didn't you come to get him? Just let him go, aren't you afraid that I will go back to Yaochi to complain?"

Yang Jian shook his head and said: "The people are not afraid of death, so how can they be afraid of it?" It turned out that Fan Xu was a student in Luoyang Taixue, and Li Ying, Chen Shi and others were dissatisfied with the emperor's appointment of bandits and eunuchs, so they often got together. He is well-known among scholars for being a minister of public affairs and governing at his own discretion.The emperor had no choice but to listen to the eunuch's slander, thinking that this group of scholars were all partisans, slandering the court, and had the intention of messing up the government, so he summoned some party members.Unexpectedly, instead of escaping, these dozens of imperial students surrendered boldly and received three wooden punishments and five punishments without changing their colors.The eunuchs couldn't judge thieves, and they couldn't find out their accomplices, so they felt bored. After a few years of imprisonment, they were released and sent back to their original places.

Seeing Cun Xin was surprised, Yang Jian said slowly: "Before I came, I checked this person's past affairs. The one who gave him the couplet was Fan Pang and Fan Mengbo, one of Jiangxia's Eight Juns. Worrying about the people, with such a firm and iron frame, even the eighteenth hell can't do anything about it, so why should I make fun of myself?" Even so, Xiansheng Zhenjun also had an ambition, when he went down the mountain to help the world, he just didn't want to see the people in ruins All peoples will suffer.Unexpectedly, 1000 years later, together with Tiandao, whom he hated the most at the beginning, he pretended to be an eagle dog, captured female fairies, and even persecuted his own sister. He couldn't even tolerate a scholar who uttered wild words. Secretly kept secret, who can know the depression?

Longnu understood, and seeing him suddenly stop talking, she couldn't persuade him deeply, so she had to find another topic to explain: "So that's the case. I only know that this scholar has some literary talents, but I don't want to be so strong. There is only one thing I don't understand. He wrote What is the meaning of the poem addressed to the abbot?"
