Chapter 61: A humble gentleman
At this time, Chen Kaizhi took a deep breath and lifted his pen.
Mr. Wu stroked his beard with a little ridicule in his eyes. He had just come to Jinling from Hangzhou. In fact, he was disdainful of this case leader. Literatures are inferior to each other. He is a great scholar. Although Chen Kaizhi is the case leader, he is just a small scholar after all. Now everyone is waiting for this person's masterpiece, but Mr. Wu has a lot of complaints. He smiled and thought of the words in Chen Kaizhi's writing: "The flowers of water, land, grass and trees are so cute..."
Hum? Is this a flower and plant article?
Chen Kaizhi wrote again: "Qu Yuan of Chu loved chrysanthemums only, and began with great success. People in the world loved peonies very much..."
According to legend, Qu Yuan was a gentleman. He liked to drink orchids, rain and dew, moisten his body with osmanthus wine, and wear winter plums. His favorite was chrysanthemums.
This article is just writing on the surface, but it is easy to grasp allusions.
The capital of the Great Chen Dynasty was Luoyang. Therefore, all emperors loved peonies, and even the concubines directly used peonies as ornaments, which also brought about the folk custom of peonies.
But what does this guy have to do with Miss Yan'er alone?
Chen Kaizhi continued to write: "I love the lotus that comes out of the mud but is not stained, washes the clear water but is not in a verdant way, straight from the middle and the outside, without vines or branches, the fragrance becomes clearer from afar, and the plain planting can be seen from afar but not played with..."
call……
If the words just now are mediocre, then when I get here, I suddenly feel enlightened.
Chen Kaizhi flattered Lotus without any concealment. Isn’t this just Miss Yan'er?
Miss Yan'er's biggest feature is a pair of lotus feet, and Chen Kaizhi kept saying that he loved lotus, which... was a metaphor.
Chen Kai's writing is about loving lotus flowers that are not stained with mud. Miss Yan'er is a person of dust. It is really wonderful to use mud to describe this dust.
A man in the dust gave Chen Kaizhi the impression that he was untainted by the mud. This just shows that Miss Yan'er's position in Chen Kaizhi's heart is definitely not an ordinary fireworks woman.
Praise a j-i woman. If you write a lot about her charming and appearance, it is obviously inferior, but you praise her not like a j-i woman... well... well, it's like an insurance seller. If you praise him for being clever, it's a swear person, but if you say he doesn't look like an insurance seller, it's a praise immediately. By the same token, a j-i woman is not like a j-i woman, like a saint who is out of the mud and not stained, and is not charming in the clear water. This... is the highest praise.
With just this sentence, Lin Yan'er was already overjoyed. She couldn't help but think that if this sentence was spread, it would be enough to make her worth a hundred times.
At this time, everyone had to admire Chen Kaizhi's Wensi, and Mr. Wu was also silent.
Chen Kaizhi continued to end this article: "I say that chrysanthemums are the hidden ones of flowers; peony is the wealth of flowers; lotus is the gentleman of flowers. Alas! The love of chrysanthemums is rarely heard of after Qu Yuan; who is the love of lotus? Peony is suitable for the love of many people."
The article was completed, Chen Kaizhi put down his pen and finished his work.
He raised his head and glanced at Lin Yan'er: "Miss Yan'er, are you satisfied?"
Peony is charming, just like a woman in the wind and dust. Everyone likes it. It is because everyone likes it, so it is too vulgar; and chrysanthemums are like ladies hiding in the boudoir, isolated from the outside world. But there is a lotus, like Lin Yaner, which has the charm of peony, which comes from the mud, but is extremely noble. This... Can anyone in the world write such words that praise themselves?
Lin Yan'er hurriedly said, "The Chen Case Master praised too much, so how can I be dissatisfied with me?"
Chen Kaizhi looked at Zhang Cheng with a smile: "So... can I leave?"
At first, Zhang Cheng was still sneering in his heart, asking you to fall into the trap, just waiting for Chen Kai to be deceived. In the previous section, Chen Kaizhi's praise for Lin Yan'er made him feel excited. This article is excellent and can be circulated.
But at this moment, his eyes were staring at the second half of the article motionlessly, taking a breath, darn!
Lotus, the gentleman of flowers...
Who is the love of lotus?
Although this is a praising Miss Lin, it is unprecedentedly praised, but this is a writing to express one's aspirations through things. It expresses his attitude of not seeking fame and fortune, keeping one's own good, and not being in harmony with the world. It also expresses Chen Kaizhi's contempt for pursuing fame and fortune, and adhering to the power. It praises the gentleman's virtue of "leaving out of the mud without being stained, washing in the clear water without being in harmony with the world", and expresses the author's noble sentiment of not being in harmony with the world.
Therefore, Chen Kai loves lotus, he loves to keep himself clean and does not flow into the mud. In the mud of the pleasure boat, he wants to get out of the mud without staining.
Zhang Cheng suddenly became embarrassed. If this article was leaked, everyone would only praise Chen Kaizhi for going to the pleasure boat, but praised Chen Censor's noble character. He was stunned and his face was pale.
Some of the others were embarrassed and some were amazed. To some extent, they had to admire this guy. Mr. Wu was ashamed and surprised. This article was extremely exquisite. He was Zhang Cheng's friend. He was invited, but now he was shocked by the article. He couldn't help but say: "Chen Case, I don't know where to live. I have time. I should visit you two."
Someone said, "Can you give this article to me?"
In the blink of an eye, his attitude changed.
It was Lin Yan'er who was bribed by Zhang Cheng at first and said that she wanted to hook up with the Chen Case leader. However, this article touched her heart and she was eagerly looking forward to Chen Kaizhi's ability to stay and spring night.
A firework woman like her is definitely not just relying on betrayal of her appearance. She has to learn poetry and articles since she was a child and cultivate her talent. At this time, she suddenly realized Chen Kaizhi's talent, so she couldn't help but look like smoke, and said quietly: "The best sentence of the Chen case is exciting, I don't know if I am lucky..."
Chen Kaizhi had a cold face, and he said lightly: "The article has been written, so please stop the boat and dock. It's time for me to go home."
From beginning to end, Chen Kaizhi's face was not arrogant, nor did he see the pretentious elegance. Only in the hazy light shadow, under the swaying lights, Chen Kaizhi's face looked as if he was keeping away from everyone.
Uncle Wucai felt so sad. This was his nephew. Who had ever thought of this as a limelight? Unfortunately, he didn't know how to be a human being. There were so many friends who had to leave. He wanted to criticize Chen Kaizhi, but Chen Kaizhi's cold look finally swallowed it back into his stomach.
At this time, the pleasure boat had already landed, and Chen Kaizhi bowed to everyone: "Goodbye."
Turning around and getting off the boat, he left a blurry back in the night, as if when he was at home, he closed only one door at home and isolated the music and laughter of the singing hall outside the door from himself.
Everyone on the boat was silent. No one raised his glass or moved his chopsticks. Uncle Wucai seemed very embarrassed. Zhang Cheng's purpose was lost and he felt even more regretful. His face was burning with a burning pain. Looking at the friends he invited, he was still looking down at this article, and he felt like he was shooting himself in the foot with a stone.
Crack... Crack...
It seemed to have light steps again, and they came stepping on the boat board. Everyone looked up and saw Chen Kaizhi suddenly coming back.
ah……
What did he come back to do?
Could it be that I changed my mind and wanted to discuss it with everyone?
Zhang Cheng felt even more ashamed and angry. Could it be that he still wanted to show off his power?
Chen Kaizhi walked back and said, "I just thought about it... Uncle Zhang Shi specially invited me to drink and bought such a large table of wine and food. I can't let him down."
You are shameless.
Zhang Cheng felt so depressed.
The others showed joy on their faces. Chen Choushou was both talented and had a glass of wine. It was not a bad thing to know such a talented man.
Mr. Wu stroked his beard and said with expectation in his eyes; "Chen Chou, come on, come on, let's have a few drinks."
Chen Kaizhi shook his head: "But the student, there is really something wrong at home, so I think that since you can't let Uncle Zhang Shi's kindness down, then... can you pack it?"
Pack……
More than a dozen people in the cabin were all petrified.
More than a dozen lotus leaves were sent by the boatman. Among the eyes, there were Miss Lin Yan'er's complicated eyes, Mr. Wu's surprise, the shock of the young master Yang Du, Zhang Cheng's grief and anger, and the depression of my uncle.
Chen Kaizhi poured all the food on the plate into lotus leaves, then tied it up, and packed more than a dozen packs. Unfortunately, he looked at the bowl of thick soup on the table. It’s a pity that I can’t take it away. It’s okay, I can’t play the Sanguang policy like a Japanese, right? Let’s leave this soup for you to make midnight snacks for you friends.
As soon as he lifted his hand, more than a dozen purses were quite heavy. Chen Kaizhi smiled at them: "Ah... I've really said goodbye this time, lucky to see you, goodbye."
This time I really left, and I got off the boat along the board, and went into the darkness from the lanterns, and never looked back.
