Qi Yu decided to visit Meng Lanshan first, and brought this inexplicable invitation along the way, so that he might be able to get his advice.
Besides, now that I have settled down in Fucheng and everything has been arranged, it is time to go over and pay my respects to my husband.
Coincidentally.
The concierge of Meng Mansion said that Mr. happened to be at home today.
When I entered the courtyard, I saw that the peach trees in the courtyard had fallen leaves, and the cold wind blew gently, making them look a little depressed.
"sit down."
"Thank you, sir."
Mr. Wenzhu is still as kind as ever, and he still has the same attitude of not being surprised by changes.
The maid served the tea and then left in a polite manner.
Qi Yu first talked about the current situation, including his studies in the government school and buying a house, and briefly described them. As for the troubles in the family and the reasons for settling down, he did not mention them.
Meng Lanshan was not too surprised by his purchase. Instead, he praised it a few times, and then talked about the history of Fu Xue and some rules he should pay attention to.
Qi Yu listened quietly and remembered everything in his heart.
Afterwards, we talked about knowledge, and Meng Lanshan also shared his reading experience, note-taking skills, etc.
From time to time, my husband would compose impromptu poems and recite a few lines.
Qi Yu was secretly disturbed when he heard this. The teacher's knowledge was so extensive that in front of him, he felt like a child who had just begun to enlighten himself.
I still remember that he first became a Jinshi in high school, and then improved the Imperial Hospital due to dissatisfaction with his official career. Naturally, he has nothing to say about his own knowledge.
"Sir, you are wise, knowledgeable and open to all rivers, but why do you have to give up politics and become a doctor?" Qi Yu finally asked after having been confused about this question for a long time.
Meng Lanshan showed an attitude of being able to take things up and let them go, and said with a smile: "I am not in good luck. Even if I join politics, it will be a wasted life. It is better to hang the pot to help the world and do something meaningful." Fan Wenzheng once said: "It is not a good appearance."
, then he is a good doctor. If the ancient sages were like this, how much more so for me?"
"Students are taught."
While the two were chatting, a gust of cold wind suddenly hit them, making people shiver.
It’s getting cold!
Meng Lanshan looked at the sky and sighed: "The situation is about to change!"
Why are you talking so much?
Qi Yu looked at the blue sky and white clouds in the sky and couldn't see any signs of sudden change.
"Shaocheng, in the recent period, if there is no emergency, you should try not to go out, study in the government school, or live at home. Have you made a note of it?" Meng Lanshan came to his senses and reminded him.
"Why is this?" Qi Yu asked puzzled.
"Don't ask, just remember."
"Yes! Shaocheng has written it down." Qi Yu was confused, but he didn't say anything more. He thought about it and asked, "Sir, I want to ask you about someone."
"who?"
"His name is Li Liangji."
Meng Lanshan was slightly surprised and said, "How do you know him?"
"I don't know him, sir, please look!"
After that, Qi Yu took out the invitation, and then explained the cause and effect of the matter.
"Well, why did he come to Yongchuan Mansion? Could it be..."
It can be heard that the gentleman knows him.
It seems that Mr. Li has an extraordinary status, otherwise Mr. Li would not have such an expression.
"Sir, who is he?"
"I can't tell you yet, you just need to know that this person is not simple." Immediately, Meng Lanshan returned to normal and said: "I can't tell you much. There are rumors that this Li
The young master is a dandy. He has two major hobbies. One is to fight crickets for fun, and the other is to indulge in the art of painting. When he comes to see you, it is probably about painting, so it’s okay for you to go."
Qi Yu was happy when he heard this: "Before, when I saw how popular he was, I thought he was a sergeant, but I didn't expect him to be an ignorant person."
Meng Lanshan waved his hand and said with a smile: "You are wrong. Although this person likes to have fun, his attainments in painting are indeed extraordinary. He is by no means ignorant and unskilled as you said."
I see.
Since you are a fellow-minded person, then go and meet him for a while.
Meng Lanshan thought for a moment and then said: "Actually, I also really want to know what kind of person this person is. Well, when you see him, ask me a few questions about classics and look at him.
How to answer."
"Oh? What classic? Please tell me sir."
"Remember: the shallow grass is thin and the mud is black, and its color is black and white. If you love your talent, you must appreciate its color. Get it from your heart and use it with your hands. Although it is a tiny insect, be careful and despise it. The above sentences are from "Promoting Weaving"
If there is a passage in the Sutra, just ask him how he understood it, and then come back and tell me." Meng Lanshan said.
Promote weaving, that is, crickets.
The general idea of these sentences is that Cricket is very particular about the selection and use of talents, and must not be treated lightly.
Qi Yu recited it silently several times and then memorized it.
Then, he said goodbye and left.
Early the next morning, Qi Yu took the invitation and went to the appointment.
The weather is very good today, but the wind is a bit strong and it feels a bit cold.
Linjiang Restaurant, as the name suggests, is built near the water and the river. It is one of the most expensive areas in Fucheng.
The cold winter wind blows gently, blowing up the ripples on the river surface, and the golden layers are rippling. From this highland, you can see far into the distance, and you can see the vast mist of the river, which makes you feel quite open-minded.
"The wind is rustling and the river is cold!"
As soon as he boarded the restaurant, Qi Yu let out a sigh.
"Haha, Mr. Qi is in such a good mood!"
The person who spoke was a young master. He had a handsome appearance, bright eyes, and a compelling heroic spirit between his brows. However, after an instant, this heroic spirit disappeared suddenly and turned into a
The appearance of a deputy relative and close relative.
Qi Yu was startled, then he hurriedly cupped his hands and said with a smile: "Could it be that you are Mr. Li?"
"It's Bucai, please sit down!"
This person is Li Liangji.
Qi Yu glanced around and found that there were only three people in this huge hall. Apart from himself and Mr. Li, the only one left was the man named Huang who was waiting silently.
The two of them made some concessions and sat on the left and right sides, while Qi Yu took the initiative to sit at the bottom.
"Young Master Li invited me here, what's the matter?"
Li Liangji did not answer directly, but asked rhetorically: "I heard that Mr. Qi possesses the skills of color painting. I wonder if it is true."
really!
My previous guess was correct!
"I only know a little bit about it. Young Master invited me. I wonder who introduced me?" Qi Yu answered first and then asked.
"Yu Hai!" Li Liangji replied directly without any hesitation.
Um?
This is worth reading.
After all, Yu Hai was also a court official and a dignified magistrate of a county. How could he call him by his first name?
Could it be that his status is higher than that of Yu Hai? That's why he looked down?
"Oh, it turns out to be Mr. Yu." Qi Yu hurriedly followed.
"Previously, Yu Hai had spread the news that there was an auction event for colored paintings in Lanshan County, but I got the news relatively late. When I arrived, the paintings had been sold out. However, it was not a wasted trip. Yu Hai was very kind to me.
He said, if you need color painting, I can ask you to draw it." Li Liangji explained.
It seems that this young master is really a character, and even Yu Hai has to give him face.
"How did the young master find me?" Qi Yu still had questions.
"This is not simple. Can't you just go to the government office and ask?"
Um?
Even the government office wants to give him face?
Who is he?
However, curiosity killed the cat, so it’s better not to ask.
Qi Yu bowed and said with more respect, "Could it be that the purpose of the young master's search for me is to paint?"
"good!"
"Then, what do you want me to draw, Master?"
Li Liangji smiled lightly: "You can paint anything, there are no restrictions. I just want to see the difference between color painting and traditional painting. That's all."
Is this... purely academic research?
However, let’s ask some questions.
So he added: "Master Li, please tell me clearly, otherwise Qi will not be able to write."
"Okay, then you can draw a picture of a cricket." Li Liangji said without thinking.
cricket……
Although I had known for a long time that he was so good, I was still a little surprised.
When he mentioned crickets, he naturally thought of Meng Lanshan's commission, so he said: "Crickets... Haha, could it be that the young master likes to study this insect very much?"
Li Liangji smiled and said, "That's right."
Qi Yu hurriedly asked for advice, and said with a smile: "It just so happened that I was reading the Promoting Weaving Sutra recently, and I didn't quite understand some of the sentences in it. I would like to ask the young master for an explanation."
"Oh? "Promoting Weaving Sutra"? This is a very obscure book." Li Liangji was startled at first, and then nodded: "You tell me!"
"Asian grass and thin mud, its color is black and white. If you love your talent, you must appreciate its color. Get it from your heart and use it with your hands. Although it is a tiny insect, be cautious and despise it. Sir, what do you understand these sentences?
?" Qi Yu recited it.
Li Liangji immediately explained without thinking: "The meaning of these sentences is that the selection and use of insects are very skillful and particular."
There is nothing special about this answer. You can understand it yourself without him having to explain it.
Just when I was feeling disappointed, I heard him say again: "Actually, there is another sentence below these sentences, and that sentence is the key point of the truth."
Qi Yu was startled, feeling as if he had fallen into a trap. Could it be that what Meng Lanshan wanted to know was to see whether he would answer this question?
"Please give me some advice from Mr. Li."
"The next sentence is: 'However, there are thousands of changes in gambling games, and there are thousands of ways to adjust.' What this means is that gambling not only implies risks, but may also change rapidly, but it can be adjusted through accumulation of energy and careful attention.
Being prepared to deal with it is like the way to live in the world..." Li Liangji was halfway through his words, but he seemed to have thought of something and stopped hastily.
Qi Yu pretended not to understand and just nodded.
Then he changed the topic and talked about other things.
From a distance, these two young men looked like classmates and friends, studying knowledge on this tall building.
After about tea time, Qi Yu stood up and left.
"Slow down!" Li Liangji's eyes suddenly flashed, as if he remembered something: "Young Master promised to paint for me, but why didn't you ask for painting money?"
Yes, how could I forget something?
In order not to lose face, Qi Yu smiled boldly and said: "Mere painting qualifications are not worth mentioning. Today I have the chance to meet you, this is the biggest gain."
