Chapter 206: No Coincidence, No Book (1)
Mushan is full of spring scenery, Chuxue and Yun Yinling have been here for about ten days.
The villa and the village are almost familiar.
Chuxue studied with the old man every day. The old man didn't teach anything deliberately. Chuxue mostly read and practiced calligraphy by herself, and asked questions when she encountered something she didn't understand.
"Spring is getting stronger, and the folks are about to start farming again. What is that girl doing?"
The old gentleman woke up and habitually sat in the pavilion drinking tea, looking at the spring light outside the village, stroking his white beard and asking Dong Li.
An old peach tree next to it is already full of flower buds, the red and pink colors are particularly attractive, and the flowers will bloom brilliantly in two or three days.
Dongli turned to look at the small pond in the courtyard, "There it is!"
The old man followed Dong Li's gaze and saw Chu Xue practicing calligraphy, "Although it's spring, the wind is still cold, why did you write outside?"
"It's just because of the wind that she wants to practice calligraphy outside. The most important thing for writing is stability. This girl said she started late. In addition to working hard, she also needs to find some methods... She is quite enlightened!"
The old gentleman's eyes lit up as he looked at it, "Left hand?"
Dongli raised his eyebrows and said, "Sir, are you going to take a look?"
The old man's eyes flashed and he immediately became interested and got up and walked out of the pavilion.
"This girl turns out to be left-handed. I injured my left hand when I was writing to you, so I used my right hand. In the past two days, I can finally hold a pen with my left hand. Please read this word again!"
Hearing what Dongli said, Sohe became even more interested.
Chuxue was writing seriously, but Taoer and Yuanniang saw the gestures made by Souhe and did not make a sound to remind them.
Souhe gently walked closer and looked at Chuxue's words with his hands behind his back. His eyes brightened obviously when he saw it. He pinched his beard and nodded, "The strength is a little lacking, but it looks good!"
"Sir!" Chuxue quickly stopped writing when she heard the voice.
The old man nodded and said, "The injury on my hand seems to be recovering well, but the scar on my daughter's side is not going well."
After so many days of bandaging, I finally didn’t need to bandage. Chuxue felt much more comfortable. I thought there would be some traces, but I wonder if it was because of the good medicine they gave me, but there were really no scars at all.
"Go to the village with me and take a rest!"
"Yes!" I have been writing for half an hour.
"Taoer, Yuanniang, please tidy up here. Auntie and the others are going to pick spring mugwort to make fruits. After you finish cleaning up, go and help them. You don't have to follow me." Chuxue finished her instructions and followed Souhe and Dongli.
The weather is getting warmer, and with the thick clothes removed, Chuxue makes me feel relaxed and walking becomes more brisk.
"Girl, you don't study to gain fame through knowledge. You don't need to study too deeply. What you want is breadth. I don't know business, so I can't teach you how to do business. But I can show you around. As the saying goes, reading
Tens of thousands of books are worse than a journey of ten thousand miles!"
"Sir, are you going on a study tour?!"
Dongli was startled at first. He is already very old and it is not suitable for him to travel far when he is too old!
"Study tour? Sir, you want to take me...study tour?"
Chu Xue had a look of surprise at first, but then her smile gradually faded away. At such an old age, how could the husband withstand the hardship of traveling far away?
"What, you don't want to go?"
The old gentleman asked with a smile as he walked.
"Sir, it's Chuxue's dream to be able to walk around and look around, but you are too old to travel far. It's great that my students are lucky enough to be with you and receive your guidance!"
While they were talking, the three of them had already left the villa. Villagers were busy in twos and threes in the fields outside the villa.
"The old man is still in good health. You don't have to worry. Let's take a carriage and walk slowly. Haven't you always wanted to see the local customs, products and resources of various places? What is written in the book is not as impressive as seeing it with your own eyes. That boy Shi Jiu has always been casual when he was a child.
I have traveled to many places. I have accepted you as my student. Naturally, I cannot favor one over the other. Girl, you have been learning to read a map these days. I will tell you a destination and you will decide the route!"
It seems that this is not a spur of the moment, it has been an idea for a long time.
"Sir, do you really plan to go on a study tour?"
Dongli asked with a serious face, this is not a joke, a study tour can take as little as one or two years, or as short as
For half a year, I have been away from home, eating and sleeping in the open air. No matter how healthy my husband is, he is still at this age...
"Maybe I haven't been out and about for many years, so I want to go out and have a look."
Just because I'm older, it's time to meet some people.
"Sir, where is your destination?"
Although Chuxue had not been with the old man for a long time, she had a good understanding of the old man's temper. Although the old man seemed to speak and do things casually, he always said what he said, and he must have thought carefully about what he said.
Souhe pinched his beard and looked at the spring scenery ahead and said softly: "Jinghe!"
"Jinghe?...Southeast Jinghe?"
Chuxue's complexion changed slightly, and she tried her best to hide it.
Fortunately, Sohe and Dongli didn't pay much attention.
"Well, I'm going to meet an old friend. I'll take this girl around just in time. I'm not in a hurry or in a hurry."
So, the old gentleman is really going on a long journey.
"Jinghe, if you want to watch while walking, and go back and forth, it can take at least two or three months, or at most half a year. Sir, if you really want to go, this is the right time to set off. The weather will still be warm when you return, and it will be easier to walk on the road."
Dongli heard Souhe say that he wanted to see his old friend, but he knew he couldn't persuade him.
"That's what I'm thinking. It's just inconvenient when there are so many people when I go out. Girl, I'm afraid it's inconvenient for your aunt and the others to follow you..."
Souhe could also see that Chuxue had a deep relationship with her, Yun Yinling.
Chuxue was still in a trance, so she belatedly said, "Sir... are there any friends in Jinghe?"
Is it such a coincidence?
Chuxue didn't answer the question, and the old man didn't care. He just thought she was curious, "Yes, I haven't seen you for some years. We are getting older and older. Maybe one day we will reach our end. While my health is still good,
Take a walk around and take a look, so as not to leave any regrets."
"Sir, you are in good health and will live a long life!"
Chuxue quickly sighed to adjust her mood.
Souhe laughed and said, "Life and death will happen eventually, no need to worry about it." Life and death have long been taken lightly.
Being able to talk about life and death so lightly and face it calmly was something Chu Xue thought she couldn't do.
"Girl, it's up to you whether you go or not. If you don't go, let Dongli stay and guide you. If you don't understand, I'll wait until I come back."
"The teacher is willing to take the students with him. It's not too late for the students to be happy. But after all, the teacher is old and the mountains are high and the rivers are far away. You can't be hasty. You have to be well prepared before setting off."
Jinghe…
What a coincidence!
"Well, there's no rush. Spring has just begun, and it will be really warm in ten days and a half. Just in time, you have to make arrangements for your business."
He specializes in his craft, and the old gentleman never asks or says much about Chuxue's business matters.
"Sir, if you are going on a long trip, you really need to be well prepared. Dongli must also follow."
Souhe smiled and said, "It's up to you!"
In fact, Chuxue has always been curious about the relationship between Dongli and her husband. They are neither students nor disciples, nor slaves. They look like old friends but not quite like each other. However, the people in the villa are very polite to him.
"By the way, girl Xue, remember to tell Shi Jiu." Souhe reminded him suddenly.
"…good!"
It seems that I said I would write to him when I came here, but I forgot for a while. The hawk and dove he gave me has not been fully tamed after raising it for these days. I am afraid I will have to take it with me when I go out this time. The husband said that the little guy can't be tamed once he starts.
stop.
It's quiet here. After these days, I wonder what's going on in the capital now. Did the second master of the Jin family go back because he couldn't find the clan order?
