Chen Jianchen is also considered a calm person, but on this bright moon night, when a young man came out and called himself "Ning Caichen", he couldn't help but feel a little dazed, and many memories that he thought had been forgotten suddenly came to him.
came out, vaguely combined with the current scene, and derived many changes. The latest chapter of the temple
He has known for a long time that this world is definitely not the real Liaozhai world. In other words, what is the real Liaozhai world? Even in the previous life, there was no framework.
Very vague and difficult to define.
So, when he traveled through time and truly realized the true face of the world he was in, he subconsciously defined it as the "Liao Zhai World" - here the Taoism is revealed, ghosts and monsters appear, and there are many specious things, which is completely different from the previous ones.
A modern society dominated by science.
What caught Chen Jianchen a little off guard was that there were not only Nie Xiaoqian but also Ning Caichen in this world. However, it was different from the plot development of the original work. It wouldn't make any difference to others. There are so many people with the same name and surname, so it's not surprising. But there is an extra life.
The memory experience, the most important thing is that some things overlap so much that it is impossible not to make people secretly suspicious.
Zhuang Sheng dreams of butterflies? Butterflies dream of Zhuang Sheng? The projection of the world?
Chen Jianchen fell into deep thought...
"Brother Chen, it's rare for us to get together in this ancient temple. Please come in and have a cup of tea...Brother Chen?"
Ning Caichen's voice rang in his ears. Holy Church
Chen Jianchen suddenly woke up and said with a dumb smile: "In this case, I would rather be respectful than obey my orders."
After just a short conversation, he realized that Ning Caichen was a generous person with a straightforward temperament and knowledge of books and etiquette. He was a typical gentleman of the time.
The monk's house has been cleaned quite cleanly, and there are chairs and stools. It seems that Ning Caichen plans to live here for a long time.
Soon, Ning Caichen helped Chen Jianchen and Ying Ning pour tea, and they sat down casually and started talking without distinguishing between guests and hosts.
It turned out that Ning Caichen was a native of Jinhua and a scholar. He had no hope of taking the imperial examination this year and could not take the autumn examination. He was looked down upon and ridiculed by his neighbors and relatives. So he felt melancholy and unhappy, so he came to Lanruo Temple, hoping that the place would be clean and undisturbed.
, I plan to live in a cottage, stay here for a long time, read poetry and books, and go all out to attack the next autumn examination.
As for the fact that Lanruo Temple is haunted, he doesn't believe it.
After listening, Chen Jianchen asked with a smile: "Is it possible that Brother Ning is still married, so he is so free and easy?"
Ning Caichen sighed: "To tell you the truth, I am a foolish brother with a weak wife, but my wife is often sick, and because of my poverty, I overworked myself. I became ill last year and passed away."
I see……
Chen Jianchen felt sad.
When Ning Caichen learned that Chen Jianchen was going to Beijing to study at the Imperial Academy, he was filled with admiration. Suddenly he remembered something: "Brother Chen, in the past Kaitai College held a competition for the best talent in the world, and a child turned out to be born. Could it be you?"
Chen Jianchen smiled and said nothing. ""
Ning Caichen immediately saw through it, and immediately said: "It's a pity, it's a pity that Brother Chen did not take part in the last test and left in a hurry, which is so confusing? You must know that many people at that time hoped that Brother Chen would win.
Slap those young men in the face."
Chen Jianchen made a vague excuse to pass the blame.
Ning Caichen is a sensible person and is wise enough not to dwell on this topic.
After a cup of tea, the two sides talked in a congenial manner and wished they could talk all night long by candlelight. They didn't say goodbye until they were late, but Chen Jianchen and Ying Ning found another monk's house to stay.
In the dead of night, Xiao Xie appeared.
Chen Jianchen looked at her with burning eyes and asked, "Miss Xie, are you satisfied with this place?"
Xiao Xie said repeatedly: "I am very satisfied, thank you for the arrangement."
Chen Jianchen added: "It's just that there are scholars living in the temple."
Xiao Xie hurriedly said: "There is a lesson from heaven and earth. Xiao Xie will never harm others."
Chen Jianchen chuckled: "You have this intention... Maybe, living next to scholars will be of some benefit to you. I think Ning Caichen is a gentleman with a generous nature and an open mind..."
Having said this, I thought, am I trying to match them up? Hehe, having said that, a scholar and a female ghost seem to be a match made in heaven.
Naturally, this is mostly a joke. Some things can only be allowed to take their own course and should not be interfered with.
After giving some instructions, Xiao Xie took the scroll and waved it toward Chen Jianchen, said goodbye to Ying Ning, and then disappeared into the dark night.
After a night of silence, Chen Jianchen said goodbye to Ning Caichen the next day and encouraged him: "Brother Ning, you work hard and you will be named on the gold medal list one day. If possible, we can meet again in the capital."
Ning Caichen smiled and said, "Thank you so much for your kind words, Jianchen. Brother Yu, I am here. I wish Jianchen a prosperous future as he goes to the capital."
Chen Jianchen laughed. Although these polite words were empty, they were still etiquette. He suddenly said: "Brother Ning lives here in seclusion. The peach blossoms bloom at night. You may encounter opportunities, so be sure to take advantage of them."
After saying that, he floated away with Ying Ning.
His last sentence made Ning Caichen a little confused, and he was a little confused. Could there be some metaphor for "peach blossoms blooming at night"?
don't know!
Ning Caichen read poems and nine astronomical literatures. When I came out, I made a solemn oath in front of my mother. If I can't study, I will be a useless person. I should study diligently."
The idea came to mind, and Ning Caichen returned to the monk's dormitory, spread out his books, and studied hard at his desk.
The sun rises and sets, the clouds appear and disperse, and night begins to fall again.
After dinner, Ning Caichen turned up the light and read at night. He was immersed in the lines of words when he vaguely heard the sound of reading coming from outside. The sound was soft, delicate and sweet, like a woman's.
He was stunned for a moment, wondering whether there were foreigners staying in the temple again? But he was so absorbed in studying that he didn't notice it?
Thinking like this, my mind became a little wandering. I listened carefully and heard that the words read by the other party were from the enlightenment book "The Thousand Character Essay", and I became even more curious.
After listening to it for a while, I finally couldn't hold it any longer, got up, opened the door, and went out. I looked around and saw nothing out of the ordinary in the dark night, and the ethereal sound of reading quietly disappeared.
"Hey, could it be that I had an auditory hallucination and heard something wrong?"
After observing for a while, Ning Caichen shook his head and smiled, turned around and started to go back to his monk's house. Suddenly something kicked under his feet, but it was a scroll. He picked it up and couldn't help but open it, and saw a beautiful picture. On the picture
There is an image of a lady, gorgeously dressed, sitting on a small boat, looking back with a smile, full of affection.
In the blank space beside the picture, there is a small poem: The small pond at the mouth of the stream of my concubine's house, the thatched house with cane doors and oyster powder walls; remember the deepest part of the banyan shade, and come here to eat betel nuts in your free time.
The moonlight was sultry, and Ning Caichen looked at the woman in the painting intently, feeling a little crazy for a moment.
