Faced with Wang Mingyang's warm invitation in Nanjing, he resigned. He still didn't know how to face Liu Yin openly.
Although the generals in Nanjing had learned from Fei Man that Du Fei was still alive and had been looking for him after putting down King Ning's rebellion, he had completely disappeared from everyone's sight.
Du Fei was staying in a remote inn at this time. It was already the middle of winter. The bleak cold wind outside swept away the last trace of warmth in late autumn. The already sparsely populated remote roads were now even more deserted, and the ground was thick with
Not even pedestrian footprints can be seen in the snow.
After so many years, it must have been a mere waste of good times and beautiful scenery. Even if there are thousands of customs, who can tell me? Du Fei drank another full glass of strong wine in one gulp!
Du Fei was hesitant. If he didn't go to see her, he would not be able to calm down for the rest of his life. If he went to see her, he was afraid of causing unnecessary trouble to her.
He only hates the creation of others. Liu Yin is his brother. As the eldest brother and leader, he is now expressing his true feelings to his wife~~ It makes people feel embarrassed and weird just thinking about it. What would Liu Yin think of him?
What will the generals on my side think of me? I will definitely be despised by everyone in the world!
In fact, these are not the most important. The most important thing is what kind of reaction Han Ying will have. If she doesn't like herself at all, then it's easy to say, just think that she is missing you for nothing! Say what is in your heart and walk away.
, it won’t have much influence on anyone. But if she likes him~~ Du Fei didn’t dare to think about it any more. He sweated profusely and drank all the wine in front of him. He lay down drunkenly.
on the table.
The owner of the inn was an old man. He couldn't help but shake his head when he saw the dejected young man who was drinking to drown his sorrows. He understood that only those who were trapped by love would be so confused and helpless. He vaguely learned from Du Fei
I can see the shadow of myself when I was young.
At that time, he was a young man from a rich family, spending his days looking for flowers and beauties. Suddenly one day he met a woman, an ordinary and simple woman. She was the daughter of a tenant in his family. But her mediocre appearance made him
She fell in love at first sight. He fell in love with her regardless of everything, and then proposed to his father to marry her.
However, his father, who had always let his affairs go unchecked, flatly refused! The father could tolerate his son's pursuit of pleasure, but he was still very picky about the person his son wanted to marry, and he had to be a good match!
But he still insisted on going his own way with her, until his father said those cold words: If you go to find her again, don't enter this house! I don't recognize you as my son!
So he retreated, and the girl married someone else and moved away after being disappointed.
That night, he hesitated whether to see her for the last time. He had also been in such a dilemma and suffered so much~~
But I didn’t go in the end~
After that, he never set foot in the Land of Love and Love, nor did he take a wife, because she was always lingering in his heart.
Later, his father died of a sudden illness and his family fell into ruin, so he had no choice but to go out and do small jobs to support himself. Finally, after working hard for most of his life, he used his savings to open this small inn.
Watching people coming and going in the inn every day, I still hope that one day a miracle will happen, maybe she will come back and stay here? This has become the only motivation for me to keep busy.
When the innkeeper saw that this lost young man had been drinking here for several days, he couldn't help but feel a strong interest in him. He began to try to talk to him, but the young man didn't say a word except sighing.
We could only sigh together, and then carry the drunken young man back to his room at regular intervals.
He heard that this young man kept mumbling the name "Han Ying" when he was drunk. It seemed that he was really trapped in love. He seemed to see himself decades ago, and couldn't help but feel softly for it.
Cover with quilt.
Du Fei still laid out the long wine flask step by step on this day. Now he felt that he was drinking more and more wine, and it was getting harder and harder to get drunk. There are always some people who are worried that their drinking capacity is too small, but they don't know that they are actually
The happiest people. Buy and drink, just for the word drunk. You can get drunk with the least amount of wine. You don't need to drink pots of these intestinal poisons for yourself, so why worry?
Unexpectedly, before he drank half of it, a hand snatched the wine glass from his hand.
Du Fei raised his head and looked at the man with drunken eyes. It turned out to be his old acquaintance Wang Mingyang. After meeting him, Du Fei felt a little embarrassed. He left without saying goodbye and repeatedly refused his invitation. It was really not etiquette.
But Wang Mingyang was not upset at all about these sesame seeds and mung beans. He just asked the boss to bring another wine glass and started drinking with Du Fei.
The two of them seemed to have returned to that breezy and drizzly night decades ago, talking about all their ups and downs, all their triumphs, all their unwillingness and regrets over the past few years.
It turns out that Wang Mingyang took the imperial examination after meeting Du Fei last time. After passing the Jinshi examination, he served as the prefect of Tongchuan. However, he was found out because he couldn't stand the domineering Wang Zhi at that time. When Wang Zhi came to Tongchuan, he did not receive him attentively and offered bribes.
He was dismissed from office and demoted to a commoner with an excuse.
After that, he began a long road to enlightenment. His failure in officialdom made him free himself from the shackles and devoted himself to the study of "reason". That encounter with Du Fei made him have a deeper understanding of his own ideas.
Research has higher requirements. In the past few decades, he has traveled to famous mountains and rivers, observed all things in the world and all kinds of human beings, and his understanding of "principles" has been raised to a higher level. He believes that it is not only necessary to "unify knowledge and action" but also
"Knowing and doing go hand in hand", the integration of knowing and doing. Everyone knows what is going on, so let's talk about what knowledge and doing go hand in hand.
Knowledge and action are relative to the idea of "knowing first and then acting" proposed by the Neo-Confucian Cheng Yi of the Song Dynasty. Knowing first and then acting means that a person must first master the knowledge in books before he can go out and practice
Exploration (which is the current education model in our country) and advancing knowledge with practice is against separating the learning and practice of book or abstract knowledge. It advocates learning the knowledge in books and the experience of predecessors while doing it yourself.
Practice and explore by yourself to make up for the shortcomings and omissions of predecessors. And apply the abstract knowledge in books to real life. (Forgive me for not speaking classical Chinese, it is too convoluted!)
Of course, these theories are nothing in modern eyes, but there is no doubt that only Wang Mingyang was the first to propose this concept. Lu Jiuyuan's Neo-Confucianism before him had great flaws, and his essence was inherited and carried forward by Wang Mingyang, and is here.
On the basis of it, he established his own set of independent and perfect masterpiece "Xinxue" that shocked the ancient and modern times.
At that moment, he started talking to Du Fei about his experiences in recent years. Du Fei was so entranced that he forgot his own sadness for a moment!
He also began to tell Wang Mingyang about his bizarre circumstances over the years, and shed tears when he talked about the sad parts. When he talked about the bizarre parts, he stared into Wang Mingyang's eyes tightly, for fear that he would not believe it. But he looked at Wang Mingyang's weather-beaten but still beautiful eyes.
Only trust, sincerity, and understanding could be seen in his clear eyes. His hanging heart gradually relaxed, and finally hesitantly told Wang Chongyang about the matter that was troubling him, and asked him to give him an idea.
.
Wang Mingyang drank the remaining wine in the wine bottle in his hand! He looked at the wine bottles on the table and felt that it was almost done, so he wiped his mouth with a square towel, stood up and left.
But the moment he left the door with his left foot, he suddenly turned his head: "Go and see her~ I will go have a drink with Liu Yin tomorrow night." After that, he left without looking back.
After listening to Wang Mingyang's words, Du Fei finally made up his mind and decided to go see Han Ying. Today he finally didn't get drunk or rely on others to help him, but walked back to his room silently.
The next day, Du Fei spent the whole day thinking about what to say to Han Ying and how to say it. He muttered to himself and rehearsed for a whole day in a small inn with poor soundproofing, which made people in several neighboring rooms confused.
People were complaining. They all said there was a madman living in the house next to them.
Seeing that night was falling little by little, Du Fei became more and more nervous. He paced back and forth in the room. Even on the eve of the battle with the rebels and the day of fighting with the dead ghosts and the group of ghosts, he still
He had never been in such a rough mood during the night of the confrontation with the ghosts. He didn't know what was wrong with him. The influence a woman has on a man is immeasurably powerful!
At this time, Liu Yin has been invited to the banquet, and Han Ying should be at home alone.
Time passed by, and the opportunities left for Du Fei were disappearing little by little~~
