Chapter 19 - He Ming He Mo

  Inside the study of the Muyang Marquis, He Daoliang took his brother-in-law Xu Peidong sent a letter, thought there was something, but the results unfolded did not read two or three lines, and then lost his smile.   Yun's was outside to accompany a rare trip home to her sister-in-law, but because of the management of the entire marquis, can not help but be a little busy, now happen to come back to a trip, passed in front of the study just saw the master looking at the letter in the smile, could not help but wonder: "What is the master laugh?"   "Laughing at your brother-in-law as always." Grand Master He replied, swallowed back the 'childish nature' that was not suitable to say to his wife. He went to look at the letter in his hand again, only to see that in addition to the usual pleasantries, one out of three sentences must say how his daughter, how how how, how how how, there is also a particularly subtle air of complacency.   Not just love to read the scriptures and historical records? It's worth showing off like this! I'm still a girl, not a son! He Daoliang thought rather disdainfully.   However, no matter how the girl family is also his sister's only daughter, Grand Master He saw his brother-in-law have specially written to show off his own daughter, the heart is also quite happy for his sister, after pacing in the room, he intended to go to see the niece who has not seen for a long time, do not want to just along the corridor did not take a few steps, he heard his own son's voice:   "The son said: 'I know what to say, and I am good at nourishing my vast spirit.' What is the spirit of the greatness?"   Then there was a clear child's voice, on the soft and supple side, a female voice:   "It is qi, too, as great as it is strong, and when it is nourished by straightness and harmlessness, it is stuffed between heaven and earth. Its qi is also worthy of righteousness and the Way. Bo Yi, not his king does not serve, not his friends do not friends, do not stand in the dynasty of the wicked, do not speak with the wicked; Liu Xiahui does not shame defile the king, into not hide the virtuous, will be its way; legacy of the anonymous and not complaining, do not have pity for the poor, who is good?"   "All are not good. The son said: 'Bo Yi narrow, Liu Xiahui disrespectful. Passive and uncomplimentary, the gentleman is not by the same.' ①"   This is the atrium of a garden near the water, serving the maid is sitting beside the corridor whispering and laughing, Xu Shanran and Muyang Marquis twins sitting in the pavilion near the water, although they are still small, but the three people beside the handmaiden with the total corner of the boy, from a distance, a bunch of people will not be big water pavilion stuffed full of people.   He is a little curious about what else is behind, so he stopped where he was, and did not go forward for the time being.   Inside the pavilion, between a question and answer, Xu Shanran and He Ming have been talking for a while, sitting next to the He Mo will be a little impatient.   He first asked his own boy to go out, hand holding a cup of wine, eyeballs bobbing around can not stop in Xu Shanran beside the maid on the circle, wrist also from time to time to slant not slant.   Not to mention Xu Shanran, that is, green parrot red parrot this pair in the back of the house used to see the privacy of all know what He Ming idea, red parrot's position is closer to He Mo, she did not move back a step, and by peeling fruits and melons for Xu Shanran the opportunity to turn the body, it stood to He Mo splash the place; and that originally stood in the body of Xu Shanran side of the green parrot was so crowded, there is no position, had to be from the side of Xu Shanran a little step back. The green parrot was originally standing on one side of Xu Shanran's body, and was squeezed so hard that it had to take a step back from Xu Shanran's body and stand at the back.   I don't know whether it is self-conscious that this angle is not good to splash wine or not good to tease his own cousin's girl, in short, in the end, He Mo did not make an article on the wine in his hand, but suddenly very exaggeratedly said, "Oops, the butterfly over there is so beautiful!"   "Stop it!" The first one to pick up was He Ming.   One of the twins, who was talking to Xu Shanran about the text, wrinkled his eyebrows, and He Mo's face, which was exactly the same as He Mo's, already had some of the composure and majesty of an older teenager.   But how could He Mo, who had been with him day in and day out, be afraid of him? But the adults in the family are biased He Ming, after eating a few losses, He Mo also had to skim his lips, not to fight with each other.   Unexpectedly, Xu Shanran's gaze turned, but took his words pile: "Where?"   Seeing that there was still a chance to salvage the plan, He Mo immediately reached out and pointed towards the flowers, "Right over there! It's especially beautiful, blue and purple, and when it flies, it sprinkles silver dust!"   Xu Shanran glanced in the direction of the other's finger and said to the red parrot, "Go over and take a look, if there are any, grab them." Said also did not forget what he was saying to He Ming, "The Book says: 'If the medicine does not close the dizziness, the syncope will not be convalescent.' ②"   He Ming is thinking that this is Mencius Teng Wengong chapter and sentence quoted in the head of the sentence, I do not know how to single out the end of this sentence out, this can be how to pick up? Just listen to Xu Shanran again:   "Beginning to know everything, favorable and unfavorable; things develop, also need time and situation, and more favorable and unfavorable mixed, non-pain, not good enough. Is it?"   He Ming was a bit dumbfounded for a moment.   At the beginning of their conversation is just one person intercepted a section of the text, the other person on it, very normal basic posting scripture only. But now the last sentence to say, but all of a sudden into a simple time text ...... this, he is not not pick up, is to think in front of the sitting should be a girl's home, right? The girl family should not talk about some embroidery or diet or something? The more elegant but also talk about poems and paintings, how come in front of the emergence of a can pick up the time Wen策论的?   When He Ming was dumbfounded, the others weren't dumbfounded.   The red parrot who was instructed by Xu Shanran thought that her master hadn't seen through the thoughts of the little devil next to her, and busily said, "The slave girl has just looked at it, and I don't see any butterflies, so maybe table young master has misread it."   He Mo in his own home because too naughty also often be refuted, now listen to the words of the red parrot is not much feeling, is ready to slap the table to give play to the topic, did not expect to sit next to the seemingly soft cousin frowned, turned to the other lowered head of the maidservant, said: "Green parrot, you take red parrot to go."   Only after the words fell, he saw the maid at the back bending her knees in response, ignoring the dumbfounded look of the one at the front and dragging the person away by force.   It was really the first time He Mo had seen a girl cooperate with him like this!   Don't be too stupid, right, but look quite smart ah? Is it the same as He Ming read into an old man? He muttered in his heart. Look around, there are girls in the pavilion, very good, when something happens there are people up to help; and then look at their own twin brothers, is buried in thought that what "Ran also otherwise also" right?   The time is right, the place is right, and the people are right! He nonchalantly touched something out of his sleeve and flicked his finger at Xu Shanran's shoulder, and when it fell onto Xu Shanran's shoulder, he shouted, "Ah, cousin, there's a bug on your shoulder!"   This sudden shout was so loud that even Grand Master He, who was stationed in the cloister, heard it.   The bastard boy was at it again! Grand Master He secretly gritted his teeth, thinking that he couldn't let his sister's child go back crying, he was about to go forward, but he didn't expect that after taking two steps, there was no ringing coming from the water pavilion.   In fact, He Mo helped, will be their own side of the two maids are sent out of the Xu Shanran at this time heart is a little helpless.   She understands that He Mo wants to do something bad, of course she is alert, she felt something on her shoulder just now, so He Mo's sudden voice didn't scare her at all. Xu Shanran also quite calmly looked at the shoulder of the thing a glance, ready as long as it is not a spider snake and so on are not very relevant ...... did not expect her in the end overestimated He Mo a glance, He Mo popped over not only is not a spider snake, that is a grasshopper - or grass woven I'm not sure how to do that.   This is really called her pretending to be surprised to take two steps back are a little embarrassed, mixed world magic star call is also too exaggerated point.   Thinking this way, Xu Shanran did not let this little accident disrupt her plan, but instead smiled at He Mo when everyone had not yet reacted.   This sudden smile stunned He Mo.   Immediately afterward, he saw this cousin he hadn't seen twice turn over her hand like he had just done, and the hand that had been stowed away in her sleeve stretched out, and there was actually a living, breathing thing about the size of a palm on it.   That thing greenish-green, to him drummed a stomach, suddenly four feet a pop, jumping straight toward him!   At the time of the rabbit, He Mo only felt a black eye, that thing has jumped to his face, he could not help but busy lifting up his arm and forcefully knocked that thing down from his face, really shouted: "Frog! Frog!"   Of the three masters in the pavilion, He Ming was the most unaware.   He Mo put grass grasshoppers when he was still thinking hard about Xu Shanran's question just now, surely it is "Ran also", but after "Ran also", he still need to elaborate ...... and then his thought was interrupted by He Mo shouted to interrupt, not waiting for him to really wake up, He Mo and staggeringly called what a frog ...... As a result of the last He Ming raised his head, a series of wonderful situation all missed, and saw his own brother with a monkey like jumping up and down, there is also a croaking frog at the feet, but not annoyed and shouted: "He Mo! You're bullying again!"   "She's the one bullying me!" He Mo shouted back, no anger in his voice, but filled with incredulity and surprise.   Is such a lie insulting his intelligence, He Ming gasped, "Wait, I'll tell mother and father!"   "Just say it, who's afraid!" He Mo also called.   As a result, a line of three people also do not whole other things, by the maidservant small boy's flanking together to walk to the main courtyard of the Muyang Marquis House.   In the main courtyard, because the second house three houses all put out of place not in the capital, so only Yun's accompanied by sitting next to the old marquis wife and He's, although the same in the capital, in the end married out of the daughter, can not be seen from time to time, the old marquis wife is holding her daughter's hand, as if there is an endless words to be admonished one by one.   Now two people talk to half, suddenly saw a large group of servants surrounded by three children came in, a moment are a little frozen.   Yun, who is in charge of all matters in the mansion, said: ''Why have you come back? Didn't I tell you guys to go play by yourselves?"   He Mo immediately told the story of what had just happened, and also very cleverly concealed the fact that he had first thrown the grasshopper onto Xu Shanran's shoulder.   As a result, Yun knew well what kind of character this son of hers had and didn't believe it at all, so she took her eyes to look at the other of the twins.   Sure enough, He Ming gasped, "It's not like that at all!" After accusing, he highlighted what he knew, and also emphasized that the two yells were both called up by He Mo, saying that He Mo was the one who took the frogs to scare people and backtracked to falsely blame his own cousin - in fact, he was really quite angry today, on the one hand, he just hadn't even come up with a reply afterward, and then was interrupted by He Ming, which gave him a On the other hand, every time He Mo bullied children of the same age before, he had to scare those girls into tears, and he was quite annoyed by this, and this time, the one being bullied was a bit different, not only his own relatives, but also able to talk to him about the current literature and theories, in the eyes of a child, which is better than being able to talk about their interests and play with their peers together?   Yun's face darkened a bit after hearing this.   He Ming's account is completely in line with He Mo's usual personality, in vain, she also before a thousand instructions to let their son dare not bully cousin - fortunately, good sister is not a nature of timid and delicate, did not cry and did not make a fuss, or the sister-in-law happy to take her daughter back to her mother's home, the results back out of the cry, the family from the mother-in-law to the The family, from the mother-in-law to the master, which face can be good?   She slapped her son hard and scolded, "You've grown up, not only are you a bully, but you're also a liar. Hurry up and apologize to your cousin!"   He Mo was usually beaten and scolded, ordinary scolding he was practicing martial arts skin thick completely do not care, but was wronged for the first time, but can not help but a little red eyes, shouted: "I did not lie! It's her who bullied me, mother why don't you believe it! There are so many subordinates beside me who saw it!"   In fact, Xu Shanran flipped his hand that very quickly, the frog and immediately jumped to He Mo's face, although the subordinates in the side to watch, it is impossible to stare at their own masters all the time, coupled with the three masters to speak, they are standing relatively outside, a time no one really seriously see what, in the report back just now is also more ambiguous.   From this, Yun decided that what He Ming said was true.   She was upset, but after all, it is his own son, to say that the real fire is not much, and now was his own son in front of so many people a call, the heart really jumped out a little fire.   But not waiting for her to rebuke, has been watching the Xu Shanran has found an opportunity to laugh.   ①All from Mencius   Zi said: 'I know what to say, and I am good at cultivating my vast natural qi.' What is the spirit of vastness?   Mencius said, "I can understand other people's language, and I am also good at cultivating my Vastness of Spirit." What is the Vastness of Qi?   It is a qi that is as great as it is strong, and when it is cultivated by straightness and harmlessness, it is stuffed between heaven and earth. Its being qi is also worthy of righteousness and the Way. Bo Yi, not his king does not serve, not his friends are not friends, do not stand in the dynasty of the wicked, do not speak with the wicked; Liu Xiahui not ashamed of defilement of the king, into the not hidden virtuous, will be the way; the legacy of the anonymous and not complaining, do not have pity on the poor and poor, who is good?   This kind of vast qi is the most powerful and strong, with integrity and benevolence to cultivate, not to make it hurt, can be filled between heaven and earth. This kind of qi should be accompanied by faith and morality. This man, Bo Yi, did not serve a ruler who was not ideal; he did not make friends who were not ideal. He does not list with bad people in the court, nor does he speak with evil people. Liu Xiahui was not ashamed to serve a bad and evil ruler, and he did not feel inferior because he was a small official. He does not hide his talent as an official, and must work according to his own principles. Even if he is not reappointed, he does not complain, and he does not worry even if his life is bitter, which one is better?   Which is better?' The son said, 'Bo Yi is narrow, and Liu Xiahui is disrespectful. The gentleman is not to be disrespected.'   Mencius said, "Bo Yi is too narrow, and Liu Xia Hui is too oily; neither narrowness nor oilyness is what a gentleman should emulate."   ②From the Book of Shang   The Book says: 'If the medicine does not close the dizziness, the syncope is not convalescent.'   The Shangshu says: "If medicine does not make one dizzy after taking it, then the disease will not be cured."
