Chapter 70

I have never met a benefactor in my life, and I don't know that there are gentlemen in the world.

The jade sandalwood incense rose gracefully, and the incense burner carved from purple jade stayed there quietly.On the desk made of red sandalwood, there is a wooden fish made of tung tree, which seems to be struck by no one, and it seems to be struck automatically.

"Dong dong dong."

A man in green shirt was leaning on the table, his brows were furrowed, as if he had fallen into a dream.

The endless spring water flows into the distance, and from time to time the petals of ten li peach blossoms fall into the water, and the sound of thud, thump, thud, comes from nowhere, and the bamboo forest not far away is green and lush, which is really moving.

Everywhere I saw was an unfamiliar scene, but there was no discomfort at all.

This reminds people of the paradise described by Tao Yuanming.Walking along the edge of the stream, forgetting the distance of the road.Suddenly there is a peach blossom forest, hundreds of steps across the bank, there are no miscellaneous trees in the middle, the grass is delicious, and the fallen flowers are colorful, the fisherman is very different.Going forward again, I want to make the forest poor.

When the water source is exhausted in the forest, there is a mountain with a small mouth, as if there is light.Then she left the boat and entered from the mouth.At the beginning, you are extremely narrow, and you are able to understand people.Go back dozens of steps, suddenly see the light.The land is flat and open, and the houses are just like the genus of mulberry and bamboo in Liangtian Meike.The traffic in the rice paddies, chickens and dogs meet each other.

It's just that there is no men's and women's clothes in it, just like outsiders.Yellow hair hangs down, and he is happy.

Yes, there are few people in such a paradise.The man stood tall and tall, standing among the mountains and rivers, his aloofness was self-evident.

He covered his heart, the sudden palpitations made him miserable, it seemed that he would never be able to get out of this mountain and river, as if the white walls and blue tiles were an eternal curse of imprisonment.

This is not in reality, this is in a dream.Suddenly I had such a thought in my heart, and then my burning and painful heart couldn't help but burst out.

"what--"

Waking up from the nightmare, the man's forehead was dripping with sweat.All the things on the desk were blown to the ground, and the man's pupils were constricted, as if he was still in a state of bewilderment and panic.

What is that place?Why can he enter but not return?Why these days, every day is this dream, it seems endless. You must know that I have studied hard for decades, and I have always kept my ears shut and never left this house.

It's strange to say that he has reached his thirties, but he hasn't traveled far, but the scene in his mind is so real, which attracts his spirit to visit him.

When he came back to his senses, he stared back, and saw the wooden fish perched on the desk, stable and secure, but the wooden fish had been here for too long, but no one had ever been able to knock it.It stayed there completely motionless. Generations of people had been buried in the ground, but it stayed there all the time.

Hehe, Shen Zijin has read sage books in vain for decades, but he is still just a scholar.The ancestors of the Shen family have been scholars for generations, but they can only be tested as a scholar.

Everyone said that the Shen family was a family of scholars passed down from generation to generation, a family with hairpin tassels.The surname Shen is derived from the surname Ying.The ancestor of the Shen surname was Shi Shen, the son of Di Ku, a descendant of the Yellow Emperor.Later, the Shishen clan was transformed into Dongyi because they lived together with the Shaohao clan, so they took the surname Ying.Later, they established the State of Shen.During the Southern Expedition of King Zhao of Zhou, the State of Shen with the surname Ying was destroyed, and his descendants took the State as their surname.

During the Tang Dynasty, the Tang people established the State of Shen with the surname of Si.At the beginning of the Zhou Dynasty, Jiang Guo destroyed Si's surname Shen, and the Shen people moved south to Shen Lu in Chu, and their descendants also changed their surname to Shen.The Shen family is indeed from a famous family, so what?Isn't he still in the middle of the blue bricks and white tiles, like a prison, it is really painful.

Every time Shen Zijin wakes up and faces thousands of volumes of books, he always wants to burn them, even if he is following Qin Shihuang's example of burning books and burying scholars.

But someone always came up and said. "I am asking to see Mr. Shen. I have heard that Mr. Shen is an extraordinary talent. I hope Mr. Shen will not hesitate to enlighten me."

Just because of the poor name passed down from generation to generation by the Shen family, she could only smile and not say what she couldn't say, so she had to pretend to be very happy and talk about etiquette in poetry and writing.

Since the flowers and the moon are unforgettable, there is no sound of flute on the willow bridge.

There is always an inexplicable loss in my memory, as if I forgot something.There is always an inexplicable call shouting, get out, get out.

There is always an inexplicable loss.Inexplicable concern.

For the seventh time, Shen Zijin dreamed of the ten-mile peach forest, a paradise, and felt that there was something that strongly attracted him.

"I want to leave here and go to Jiangnan."

"But son, you have never gone out."

"There is a place to go."

"Young master, do you want to clean up?"

"Install the golden cup and tooth chopsticks, and the white jade chess piece, and the wooden fish. No need for the rest."

Shen Zijin doesn't know what's wrong with him? He hadn't been out for 30 years, but he went out alone, bid farewell to everyone in the family, and came to Jiangnan with a package and an oil-paper umbrella. He didn't know why he came here, it was just an unspeakable nostalgia.In the city of Shuzhou, the rain is continuous, and the men in green shirts are walking forward with umbrellas. The city of Shuzhou is elegant and beautiful, with white walls and blue tiles everywhere.It's just that he walks alone, alone.

He first took a boat through the ten-mile peach blossom forest, then trekked mountains and rivers, skipped streams, climbed the mountain forest, and walked through thorns.

He walked forward without resting, and the boatman once asked, "My lord, where are you going?" He was confused for a moment, and then smiled, "Go to your heart."

When I came down the mountain, my face was full of dust, but the green mountains and green waters, the grand scenery in the world, there was a tomb in front of me, with a simple tombstone.No words.

He knelt down on the ground, untied the burden, spread it out, a wooden fish, white jade chess pieces, a jug of wine, two gold cups, and two pairs of chopsticks.

I saw that the gold cup, teeth and chopsticks were exquisitely carved and extremely luxurious, and they were unparalleled in the world.

He pondered for a long time, and finally stretched out his trembling hands, stroking the wordless stone tablet.In a trance, it seems to feel the bone-piercing coldness of the stone tablet.He looked at the stele with a wry smile, thinking that in these days, he traveled through mountains and rivers, went through hardships, and walked forward without fear of the future. After experiencing the regretful death of the grandfather and the regretful departure of the father, the sisters who grew up together, because of the money spent on studying, stayed away from home one by one, married into countless clans, and became wives and concubines, all just to support The Shen family provides for their own education.

The nine generations of the Shen family were single-handed, but none of them passed the rural examination. They have always relied on business to support the family, but they have never done a big business. Scholars, farmers, businessmen, and merchants have always been in a lowly position. Although the Shen family is at the bottom of the gentry, but But he always waits for this stereotype like a moralist.Later, in order to preserve the glory of the Shen family's so-called scholarly family, they could only rely on marriage. The girls of the Shen family read poetry and books and learned etiquette since they were young, but only for the sake of gaining the name of a talented woman from Wujiang, and then driving into the aristocratic family .
