Su Shi (January 8, 1037 - August 24, 1101), also known as Zizhan, Yizi Hezhong, Tieguan Taoist, Dongpo layman, known as Su Dongpo, Suxian, Poxian, Han nationality, Meishan, Meizhou
(now Meishan City, Sichuan Province), whose ancestral home is Luancheng, Hebei Province, was a writer, calligrapher, gourmet, painter and famous figure in water control in the Northern Song Dynasty.
These are the things that Lu Yao can find out about Su Shi in his memory.
At this moment, today, the song "Butterflies in Love with Flowers" written by Su Shi is also Lu Yao's favorite poem written by Su Shi, apart from the water tune song Tou.
This is a fresh and graceful poem describing the spring scenery. It expresses the poet's sigh at the passing of spring and the trouble of not knowing his emotions. The upper part describes the sadness caused by the passing of spring, and does not stick to the description of the scene.
And blending into his own deep sighs. The next part writes about the sadness of meeting a beautiful woman but not having the chance to meet him, and being passionate but being treated ruthlessly. The whole poem has a gentle meaning and moving sentiment. It contains sadness in the freshness and sadness in the beauty.
Emotion, hazy artistic conception, endless charm.
Although Su Shi had written two poems in front of Lu Yao before, I don't know if it was because the two poems were written in different situations, or if it was because he had just drunk some wine and was a little drunk.
, Lu Yao felt that listening to Su Shi compose this poem at this time really has a different artistic conception.
Others were not surprised by Lu Yao's reaction. After all, Lu Yao's reputation as a talented scholar was not sealed. Although Bao Zheng and the three people present did not know that much in detail, they also had some knowledge of the two poems Lu Yao had written before.
It was heard that even Zhan Zhao among them did not understand the artistic conception of this poem, but based on Lu Yao's high evaluation of Su Shi's poem, Zhan Zhao also felt that Su Shi was a powerful guy. Su Che
Over there, let alone Lu Yao, he had written poems in front of him before. Besides, Su Shi was his own brother. How could Su Che not understand his level?
Hearing Lu Yao's compliments to him, Su Shi's bold and bold personality was reflected again, and he was not polite and said: "Thank you, Brother Lu, for the compliment."
Lu Yao suddenly thought of something interesting at this time and said: "Brother Su, I suddenly had a whim. I felt that there is no grass anywhere in the world. In fact, I can just take it out and follow it with another sentence."
As soon as poetry was mentioned, Su Shi's eyes immediately lit up and he said, "Oh? Brother Lu, if you have any great opinions, you might as well tell him."
When it comes to the fact that there is no grass anywhere in the world, what everyone thinks is basically, why should you fall in love with a flower unrequitedly? Of course, it may also be a plum blossom. Most people seem to have the impression in their minds that these two sentences should go together.
, comes from the same poem, but what everyone doesn't know is that the real source of the poem is Su Shi's "Die Lian Hua", and there is no sentence about unrequited love at the end.
However, Lu Yao naturally knew the truth, but since Su Shi had already composed this poem in front of him today, Lu Yao also wanted to see it. As the creator of the first half of this proverb,
What kind of reaction will he have when he hears the second half of this sentence?
So Lu Yao said: "Actually, there are no fragrant grasses anywhere in the world. I think Brother Su, you want to describe a situation where the garden is full of spring and everything is revived. I can already imagine it."
"That's it." Su Shi could already see the proud look on his face through the wine. "I wonder if Brother Lu wants to use this sentence as the first sentence, what will be the next sentence?
"
Lu Yao smiled slightly and said: "There is no grass anywhere in the world, so why fall in love with a flower unrequitedly."
As soon as this statement came out, everyone present, including Lu Xu, was stunned.
Although the second half of the sentence seems a bit too vulgar in terms of clause structure and rhyme, in fact, when the ancients wrote poems, they basically focused on a metaphor and charm. However, Lu Yao's next sentence simply and roughly summarized the second half.
What the sentence wants to describe, and the meaning the whole poem wants to convey, have been laid out on the paper, and they are stated very directly.
As for the trio of Bao Zheng, it’s hard to comment because they don’t know much about poetry, but Bao Zheng and Gongsun Ce looked very surprised.
Although the two of them did not see Lu Yao writing poetry with their own eyes, they actually knew that Lu Yao had outstanding literary talent and had written one or two good poems before.
They were working in Kaifeng Fuzhong, so they actually had no chance to really know what Lu Yao's poem was describing.
However, if we just look at this sentence, Bao Zheng really can't understand why Lu Yao's poems are praised so much. As Gongsun Ce, who has some research on poetry, it is also very difficult to understand. Could it be that the talented people in Bianliang City
, is there a problem with the understanding of poetry, or is it that the overall poetry level of the talents of the Song Dynasty has declined?
If the two poems Lu Yao wrote before were both as vulgar as the following sentence, it can only be said that there is something wrong with everyone's aesthetics.
In fact, Lu Yao had already expected the reaction of the trio of Bao Zheng and his father. Originally, the following sentence was not made by himself, but was passed down orally by modern people. Lu Yao always believed that he could
Things that have been passed down orally and preserved by people, whether you like it or not, it has its own reason for existence. The so-called existence is reasonable, that's it.
Moreover, all of those who looked at him with strange eyes did not have any works of their own, so Lu Yao actually did not take their comments and feedback on these two sentences seriously.
The reactions of Su Shi and Su Che were what Lu Yao was more concerned about.
On Su Shi's side, after listening to these two sentences said by Lu Yao, he put down his wine glass with a serious look on his face, and then began to pace around the dining table, as if he was digesting the poem Lu Yao said.
Su Zhe, on the other hand, thought about it for himself and said: "If placed in the whole poem, it really doesn't fit well, but in terms of these two sentences alone, although the artistic conception is a little less, the meaning expressed through these two sentences is
The emotions expressed are very strong, not bad. I really didn't expect that. I thought you could only write poems about praising plum blossoms, but I didn't expect that you are also an expert when it comes to romance and love."
From this alone, we can know that Su Che actually has a very high evaluation of this poem. Although Su Che's reputation is not as good as that of Su Shi, and is even the lowest among the three Sus, it can still be regarded as the best.
If you take this great figure in the literary world alone, his writing skills belong to those of an upper-class talent.
It's just that even after hearing what Su Che said, Bao Zheng, Zhan Zhao, and Lu Xu still couldn't understand the artistic conception of the poem Lu Yao said. It seemed that they didn't quite agree with what Su Che said.
, and Bao Zheng felt that Su Che seemed to be deliberately complimenting Lu Yao.
However, when Gongsun Ce on the other side listened to Su Zhe's analysis of Lu Yao's sentence, he suddenly reacted like an enlightenment.
"What a poem!" There are only three words in this sentence. Although Gongsun Ce was emotional, he said these three words very clearly and did not stutter.
Bao Zheng and Zhan Zhao looked at him in surprise and wanted Gongsun Ce to explain.
Lu Xu on the other side also seemed to have reacted. He stood up from his seat, walked to Lu Yao, and said in a voice that only the two of them could hear: "Don't let Han Yunyu understand this poem."
I know, although Miss Han does not leave home every day, she still reads poetry and books. She likes to read Su Shi's poems very much. If she knows these two poems, there is no guarantee that she will not find out.
The mystery in these two poems means that when the time comes for your engagement with the Han family, I don’t want any more accidents to happen."
"Yeah!" Obviously, Lu Yao didn't think about Han Yunyu at all. When his father said this, he said, "Why did I forget about her? Don't worry, I will tell Su Shi later."
Lu Xu nodded and returned to his seat.
Su Shi here, after spinning around for a few times, finally stopped and said: "Brother Lu, although your last sentence sounds very simple and vulgar, the two sentences combined can metaphor a new kind of
The artistic conception, and it is not as simple as describing flowers and plants, it is really not simple. However, it is indeed far from the poems you have written before, Brother Lu."
Lu Yao smiled and said: "Where is it? I have a favor for you, Brother Su. I made this poem today because it is indeed too popular. It is better not to let more people know about it. After all, it is through wine."
Just say whatever you want."
Su Shi nodded and said: "Brother Lu, don't worry. Since you don't want others to know, I will treat these two poems as gifts from you and I will not tell others."
Lu Yao looked at the trio of Bao Zheng and Zhan Zhao. The eyes of Bao Zheng and Zhan Zhao clearly said, I will not go out to promote such a bad poem to you. Gongsun Ce nodded slightly at the side.
Zhan Zhao felt a little dissatisfied when he heard Su Shi praising the second half of Lu Yao's sentence. On the one hand, he really didn't understand why Su Shi praised the last half of the sentence. On the other hand, he also felt that Su Shi seemed to be too
I felt a little unhappy because I was deliberately trying to flatter Lu Yao.
So Zhan Zhao said: "Mr. Su, you just said that although the second half of Mr. Xiao Lu's sentence is simple and vulgar, it has a profound meaning. Zhan is not talented and is a rough man. I can't understand the artistic conception of this last sentence.
, I wonder if you can explain it to me?"
Su Shi smiled and said: "Of course you can. In fact, the first half of the sentence, placed in the poem I just made, is describing the scene of the resurrection of all things in spring. It can be said to be a scene. And Brother Lu will use this sentence
I took out a poem list and combined it with the following sentence. The first half of the sentence is not just describing the spring scenery. In other words, it is completely changed in a different way, it is describing emotions."
"I don't understand emotions at all, what kind of emotions they are." Bao Zheng took over the words. In his opinion, Su Shi was talking nonsense.
Su Shi waved his hand to signal Bao Zheng not to be angry, and continued: "You can understand the fragrant grass in the first half of the poem written by Brother Lu as a woman. Please note that the woman here refers to not just a certain person."
A special woman, but a group of women, and not ordinary women, I should say, beautiful and moving women, so I use the word "grass" to describe it. Mr. Bao, I don't know if you understand what I said,
What does the next sentence mean?"
Zhan Zhao is still confused. This is of course because of his age and whether he has ever been in a relationship. However, for Bao Zheng, who already has a wife and will have a child in a while, it seems that he has already
Understand the meaning of these two sentences.
"later
(This chapter is not finished, please turn the page)
In this sentence, why should you fall in love with a flower unrequitedly? The flower in this sentence is not actually a flower in our superficial meaning. It represents a person, it should be said to be a woman. The two sentences actually mean the combination of
That is, there are so many good girls in the world, countless and very easy to obtain, why do you only pursue that one woman? These two poems are actually to comfort those young people who have unrequited love without results, you can
Give up on this woman who wants nothing but gets it."
After hearing Su Shi's detailed explanation, Zhan Zhao looked like he was suddenly enlightened and said, "That's it. Only after hearing your explanation did I understand."
"Haha, I don't blame you. After all, brother Zhan Zhao, you are still single." Lu Yao smiled and did not mean to blame Zhan Zhao.
"Speaking of which, I remember that Brother Lu, in your own book "The Story of the Stone", you seem to have mentioned a saying from the Buddhist scriptures: Water is worth three thousand, so only take one scoop. In my opinion,
The two lines of poems you are writing now actually have the same meaning." Su Shi looked at Lu Yao and said.
Lu Yao was a little surprised. He thought that novels like "The Story of the Stone" were actually Dream of Red Mansions. This kind of novel should be read more by girls. Unexpectedly, Su Shi was so obsessed with this novel that even the words used in it were
I remember the allusions so clearly.
"Brother Su, I really didn't expect that you would remember the things recorded in the Stone Chronicles so clearly." When Lu Yao said this, his eyes were sincere. He really didn't expect that Su Shi would value the Stone Chronicles so much.
Sure enough, classics will be remembered.
Su Shi said here: "Brother Lu still doesn't understand me well enough. In fact, I still like romance very much. I also yearn for the love between Baoyu and Daiyu that you described."
Listening to what Su Shi said, Lu Yao suddenly remembered Su Shi's life and three of Su Shi's confidantes. Among them, Wang Fu, Su Shi's wife, was the most famous. She married Su Shi at the age of sixteen.
Tong Shishu was Su Shi's right-hand assistant, and there was a story of "listening to the words behind the scenes". Unfortunately, he died at the age of twenty-seven.
"Brother Su, don't worry, you will definitely find the right person." Lu Yao said his heartfelt blessing.
Through Su Shi's patient explanation, everyone present knew the true meaning of the second half of Lu Yao's poem, and they couldn't help but look at Lu Yao with admiration. For the two brothers of the Su family, Lu Yao's poetry
They would never be surprised by Lu Yao's ability. However, in their eyes, he has always appeared as a gentleman. Even when he wrote poems, he always had the attitude of "singing to sing his ambitions". They didn't expect that Lu Yao could actually do this.
Such a poem actually surprised Su Shi and Su Che, and their views on Lu Yao changed.
On the other side, the Bao Zheng trio's impression of Lu Yao has also changed. Unlike Su Shi and Su Che, this is actually the first time that these three people have seen Lu Yao compose a poem on the spot. Originally, they had some
Were they looking forward to seeing some majestic verses, or seeing Lu Yao's smug expression, but what did they see?
A slightly drunk man uttered this tender verse in an understatement. How should I put it? Violation, indeed, there is a strong sense of violation. However, unlike Su Shi and Su Che, Lu Yao, in addition to this event,
Apart from his serious look during the new Cuju competition, at other times, especially Bao Zheng, he felt that Lu Yao's dandy, that is, the aura of a ruffian and gangster was still deeply rooted in Lu Yao's bones.
That is to say, in fact, for them, it is not difficult to understand the image of Lu Yao in their minds and write such simple and vulgar poems. Therefore, their level of surprise is not directed at Lu Yao, but at Lu Yao.
Su Shi gave such a high evaluation to Lu Yao.
There was also an outsider, Lu Xu, present. Lu Xu actually saw the whole process. For Lu Xu, the Lu Yao in his impression was actually similar to what Bao Zheng and the others imagined, so for these two poems,
Lu Xu was not too surprised. Of course, his focus was different from others.
Everyone now knows that the Lu family and the Han family are related by in-laws, and except for a very few people, no one else knows about what happened between the Lu family, the Han family, and the Cao family, about Cao Han, Han Yunyu, and Lu Yao.
misunderstanding. However, there are still some ministers of the DPRK and China, especially those from Cao Yi's faction and Han Yonghe's faction, who know the reason. If the poem written by Lu Yao today spreads, it really won't be possible.
I know what kind of bloody storm will be set off between these two groups of people.
Fortunately, after Lu Yao mentioned it, several people present agreed that Lu Yao would not tell this matter. This can be said to have avoided a dispute.
The next time passed very quickly. Since the test was completed, everyone chatted and laughed for half an hour. It was getting late, and the Kaifeng Mansion of Bao Zheng's trio was still a bit far away from the Lu Mansion, so Bao Zheng proposed
He wanted to go back home, but on Su Shi's side, it was obvious that he had drunk too much today and was swaying when he walked. Lu Yao was really worried about letting him go back with Su Che like this. The situation on Su Zhe's side
In fact, it is not much different from Su Shi.
They originally thought of asking Tangxi to send Su Shi and Su Che back in a carriage, but Bao Zheng said that they would just drop by and send these two back in their carriage.
Lu Yao thought that this would indeed save trouble. Tangxi had also been busy today, so he did not refuse.
"Then let's say goodbye. In the next period of time, if there is anything related to the Cuju competition, just send someone to us directly." Zhan Zhao said before leaving.
Lu Yao nodded, thinking that nothing would happen. At most, he would find them after taking the imperial examination to see if they had forgotten their professional knowledge.
After watching the carriage leave, Lu Yao finally breathed a sigh of relief, thinking that the referee and commentator matters were settled. Based on today's performance, these five people did a good job.
On the Bao Zheng trio's side, Zhan Zhao is the first time he has been given the power to override Bao Zheng's position, so there is no need to worry about Zhan Zhao and Lu Yao, because he will definitely use 100% of his power.
of hard work.
As for Bao Zheng and Gongsun Ce, Lu Yao was actually a little worried about Gongsun Ce at first, but then he thought about it. Under normal circumstances, the linesman shouldn't have to speak too much, and although Gongsun Ce had a stutter, his words sometimes sounded awkward.
Yao didn't quite understand, but he had a tacit understanding with Bao Zheng and Zhan Zhao. Sometimes just a few words could express what he wanted to say clearly. Moreover, after all, whistles already existed at this time in the Northern Song Dynasty.
Okay, just blow the whistle and pause the game first. We'll talk about the foul later.
As for Bao Zheng, he is actually the angriest person today. Until now, he is still depressed that he cannot be the referee. But it is because of this that he promises to do his job as a line judge. Just now
In the test, Bao Zheng actually had the fastest reaction and answer speed. This still surprised Lu Yao. After all, Bao Zheng is considered middle-aged. It is really amazing to have such reaction power. And it requires
You know, compared to Zhan Zhao and Gongsun Ce, who basically read the manuscripts about referees every day these days, Bao Zheng, on the other hand, has received orders from Zhao Zhen these days and has been following Guilu Inn.
Regarding the acquisition, in fact, in terms of review time, Bao Zheng had much less time than Zhan Zhao and Gongsun Ce. Originally, after Tangxi reported the situation to Lu Yao, Lu Yao thought that this would happen to Bao Zheng.
In fact, I am partly responsible for the situation. I thought I would not make things too difficult for Bao Zheng today, but I didn't expect that Bao Zheng performed perfectly today.
Compared with referees, the commentator's responsibilities and role are of course greater. After the debate with Cao Ping, Lu Yao not only regained his original intention, but also decided that more people should participate in this new type of competition.
During the Cuju competition, I also realized the importance of explanation again. After all, in this new type of Cuju competition, even if a notice-type manuscript is sent out in advance to explain the rules of this new type of Cuju to the people watching, it is estimated that most people will
None of them will read this manuscript. Secondly, it’s because they really don’t understand the content of this manuscript.
For these people, they may still want to watch the game while thinking about how to understand this new type of Cuju game.
Therefore, this may have an effect, that is, although the game on the field is exciting, the audience present may not know what is exciting about this game.
At this time, it can mobilize the atmosphere of the people present and tell these unknown people what is so exciting about this new type of Cuju competition, so that the audience can truly integrate into this competition and truly increase the participation of the whole people.
At this time, the existence of explanation is needed.
As mentioned before, more important than the understanding of Cuju knowledge is the immediacy of commentary, which means that you can make changes in your commentary at any time as the situation on the field changes, no matter what time it is.
Mobilizing the enthusiasm of the audience, while explaining the game, you can also popularize the knowledge of new Cuju to the audience. This is what a good commentator should do.
Of course, the video that Lu Yao just used to test Su Shi and Su Che was a video of a modern football match. Although the ball still has clothes, there is no way to compare the situation on the field with the current situation, but the flow and rhythm of the game are still there.
The tension and passion required for explanation are still the same.
Here Lu Yao had to admire the talents of the two Su brothers. In just a quarter of an hour, they found their own commentary style, with Su Shi as the main and Su Zhe as the supplement. The two of them spoke to each other.
Not to mention that it's really like that. There is Su Che who focuses on regulating the atmosphere, and Su Shi who is more concerned about changes on the field. The combination of the two is really good.
Overall, Lu Yao is quite satisfied with today's refereeing and explanation, and this matter has been settled. It seems that there should be nothing major to worry about before the imperial examination. According to Lu Yao's own mind
plan, next, you should prepare well for the exam.
"Excuse me, is Lu Yao at home?"
Just when Lu Yao returned to the main hall, there was a knock on the door of Lu Mansion.
This time it was Tangxi who opened the door. After he was promoted, Tangxi has been doing more of the night vigil work, which is as it should be. After all, Uncle Fu is older, and the two of them basically spend four days a week.
It is Tangxi who is responsible for dealing with visitors at night. But having said that, basically no one comes to Lu Mansion after dark, so this is also the first time.
(This chapter is not finished, please turn the page)
Tangxi encountered a visitor at night.
Tangxi opened the door and saw a man and a woman.
This man Tang Xi looked familiar. Before Tang Xi could answer, the woman following the man spoke first.
"I've seen you. You are Lu Yao's housekeeper. Go and ask your Lu Yao to come out and see me!"
Tangxi wondered where this wild girl came from. She wanted to see Lu Yao by name. He looked at her carefully and saw that the woman raised her head, which shocked Tangxi.
If this woman is not Cao Han, who is she? Perhaps only Cao Han can say such arrogant and unreasonable words.
In fact, as Cao Yi's daughter, or in other words, as a woman of this era, it was a wonder to be able to go out for a walk at such a late hour.
As for the man who just spoke, Tangxi naturally remembered that he was the eldest son of the Cao family, Cao You.
Tangxi then turned sideways and said, "My young master has just finished handling official business and is resting in the living room. Please come with me."
After saying this, Tang Xi wanted to turn around and lead the way, but was stopped by Cao Yu.
"It's getting late now, and everyone in the house should be ready to rest. We won't go in. Please send a message to Mr. Lu, saying that Cao You brought his sister to have a chat with him. If he
If it’s inconvenient…”
What Cao You wanted to say was that if Lu Yao was inconvenient, he would take Cao Han back with him. However, Cao Han rolled up his arms and sleeves and said, "If it's inconvenient for him, I'll go in."
Beat him up."
"Don't be rude." Cao You quickly stopped Cao Han from continuing.
Tangxi really wanted to scold Cao Han and close the door, but now he is no longer the rough man before. After a period of training, Tangxi is now a decent housekeeper.
He knew very well that the Cao family could not be offended, and in the eyes of Cao You and Cao Han, his attitude and what he said would represent what Lu Yao said, so Tangxi nodded and said: "You two
Wait a moment, I will invite the young master to come over."
After saying that, he disappeared from the sight of the two of them.
Cao You looked at Tang Xi's back and said, "This Lu Yao is really powerful."
Cao Han didn't understand the meaning of Cao You's words and asked: "Brother, what do you mean by this?"
Cao You shrugged and said, "Do you still remember what Tangxi looked like before?"
Cao Han shook her head, she really had no impression of Tangxi.
Cao You said: "This Tangxi was just a bodyguard before. I thought at first that he was just a follower who protected Lu Yao, but later I found out that Tangxi has now become Lu Yao's housekeeper.
It seems that he has started to take care of everything in the Lu family."
"But, what does all this have to do with Lu Yao?" Cao Han was not interested in anything other than Lu Yao.
Cao You smiled bitterly and said: "This further illustrates Lu Yao's ability. Judging from the way Tangxi talked to me just now, he should be a qualified butler who understands etiquette now. He can train an escort into a
The current situation shows that Lu Yao's ability to know and employ people is really scary."
When Cao Han heard that his brother spoke so highly of Lu Yao, he smiled and said, "Let me just say, the man I like is definitely right."
Cao You was helpless and said, "Well, we agreed that when we go back, we are not allowed to tell dad what I brought you here tonight."
"Don't worry, I know." Cao Han said.
Speaking of which, tonight in the evening, Cao You saw Cao Han in anger in the house. He didn't know who had offended his sister again. Speaking of which, Cao Han hadn't gone out in the past few days, so no one should have offended her.
That's right, what's going on?
Cao You has always loved his sister very much. When he was not in Bianliang, every letter he wrote home basically asked about Cao Han.
Today, when Cao You asked his sister why she was so angry, Cao Han said that he wanted to go out for a walk and was very upset. Cao You had often taken Cao Han out secretly before.
Cao Han would be asked to change into a servant's clothes, disguise himself carefully and leave the house, and every time he went out he would do so after dark so that no one would recognize him.
But every time he was discovered by Cao Yi, he was inevitably scolded, so this time Cao Yucai repeatedly ordered Cao Han not to tell this matter.
Cao You thought that the last time he took his sister out was a long time ago, so he did not refuse Cao Han's request.
Of course, if Cao You knew that Cao Han's initial target was the Lu Mansion, he would definitely not bring Cao Han out.
But when the brother and sister actually appeared at the door of Lu Mansion, Cao You still didn't understand why Cao Han was so angry with Lu Yao. These days, except for the fact that Cao Han dressed up and met Lu Yao a few days ago,
, I haven’t seen Lu Yao again these days. It seems that the last time these two met, nothing happened that made Cao Han very angry.
Along the way, Cao You also asked Cao Han why he was angry, but Cao Han just pouted and said nothing.
Let’s go back to Lu Mansion.
When Lu Yao returned to the main hall, he felt that he was getting more and more drunk. He thought that he would start to retreat to review his lessons tomorrow, so he thought about asking Tangxi to make him a bowl of sobering soup, but he shouted a few times, but nothing happened.
When someone answered, Lu Yao had no choice but to find Uncle Fu. Before the sobering soup was served, Tangxi came through the main entrance.
"What are you doing?" Lu Yao, who was still drunk, said with an unhappy look on his face.
Tangxi said: "Sir, a guest has arrived."
Lu Yao looked around and saw that there was no one behind Tangxi, so he said, "What kind of guest? Why didn't I see him?"
Tangxi also looked a little embarrassed and said, "Actually...it's Mr. Cao Yu and Cao Han who are here."
"What did you say?" Lu Yao was very surprised. Coupled with the drunkenness, he almost fell off his seat. Then he immediately looked around, but did not see the Cao family, and said, "Where are they?"
"Master Cao You said that he would like to invite you to the door and have a few words with you."
Lu Yao thought for a while, there must be something urgent, otherwise Cao Yu wouldn't find him at this time. But what Lu Yao didn't expect was that Cao Han also came with him. Considering the temper of this young lady,
Eighty percent of them must have followed Cao Yu here.
Considering that the Cao family is also one of the participating teams in the Cuju competition, they might find him this time to discuss matters about the Cuju competition, so Lu Yao must still go out and have a look.
Then, Lu Yao hurried to the kitchen, drank the hangover soup, and walked out of the door.
When Lu Yao walked to the door and saw Cao You and Cao Han, he felt a little strange. Why was Cao Han dressed like a servant today?
The smart Lu Yao reacted immediately, thinking that Cao Han must have been wearing a servant's clothes to sneak out. If Cao Han knew that Cao Han came out late at night, he would definitely be furious.
So Lu Yao said to Cao You, "I wonder what happened when Mr. Cao came to visit late at night?"
Cao You smiled slightly and said: "Actually, it's not me who wants to come, it's my sister who insists on coming. She also hopes that Mr. Lu will not tell my father about our meeting tonight."
"I can tell from her clothes." Lu Yao waved his hand and said, "But why don't I remember when I provoked her?"
After saying this, Lu Yao walked towards Cao Han.
Who knew that Cao Han, who was still very angry at first, burst out laughing when he saw Lu Yao walking up to him, but the next second, Cao Han took two steps back and said, "You smell like this
,Did you drink tonight?"
Lu Yao nodded and said, "I drank some wine after finishing my work in the evening, so why did you come to see me?"
Cao Han looked at Cao You, who immediately understood and walked away to the side.
"Actually, I have been reading "The Story of the Stone" written by you these past few days." Cao Han said, "I have a question that I have always wanted to ask you."
Lu Yao was a little surprised. If Su Dongpo, as a scholar, had sentiments, it was understandable that he would be interested in his own Stone Records. Cao Han, who had a bad temper and a tomboyish personality, also started to read such books and was even more surprised.
It was beyond Lu Yao's expectation.
"How can you read this novel? With all due respect, this novel is not suitable for you."
Cao Han didn't seem to hear Lu Yao's advice, but continued: "In your writing, you think Jia Baoyu and Lin Daiyu are a couple, but don't you think they are not a good match at all?"
Lu Yao rolled his eyes and said, "Why don't you deserve it?"
"There is no way to compare Lin Daiyu's background with Xue Baochai's. Since ancient times, marriage matters have been ordered by the parents, and the matchmaker's advice is to have a well-matched person. Lin Daiyu, who has a low status, and Jia Baoyu, who has a high status, have to get together.
If we go together, nothing good will come of it, but Xue Baochai should be Jia Baoyu's real wife."
Cao Han did not hesitate to express his thoughts. In fact, according to the feudal concept, this is not wrong at all. After all, the gap in status and economic conditions are very important factors. Moreover, in the subsequent development of the real Dream of Red Mansions, Lin Daiyu
Even after Xiangxiaoyu died, Jia Baoyu still married Xue Baochai. All this was a tragedy. Among them, the disparity in status between Baoyu and Daiyu still accounted for a large proportion.
Lu Yao naturally knew what Cao Han wanted to express. Although Han Yonghe was the minister, his status was naturally not as noble as that of Cao Guojiu, a relative of the emperor. If it had been anyone else, he would have chosen without hesitation between Han Yunyu and Cao Han.
Cao Han is right. It's a pity that Lu Yao is not a real Northern Song Dynasty person. His values are still the values of modern people. Although modern people also pay attention to being well-matched, most people still have to focus on the feelings of two people and their three views.
Whether they are consistent and have common interests and hobbies are the core factors that determine whether two people can finally get married together.
"I know what you want to say," Lu Yao looked at Cao Han and said, "But I will also give you a sentence I wrote in "The Story of the Stone". If you don't understand, you can ask Cao You."
"Which sentence."
"There are three thousand weak water, I only take one scoop."
