Sima Yi's Three Kingdoms Collection Collection

Chapter 27 A three-inch tongue, wisely retreating Dong Zhuo's remnant soldiers (7)
"Brother Ying...you...why are you bothering?" Sima Yi slowly put the plums he was about to put into his mouth back on the plate.He raised his eyes, looked directly at Fang Ying, and sighed leisurely: "If you are bitten by mosquitoes for the sake of brother Yu, how can you be at ease? This big red plum is extremely crispy and sweet, brother Yu will eat it." It also tastes like chewing wax."

"Brother Sima—this Qiaoer is too talkative! Don't listen to him," Fang Ying smiled brightly, with an inexplicable brilliance, "Where are there so many mosquito bites? Brother Sima, don't listen to Qiaoer." My son's words will ruin my mood, you——now just grab this plate of plums and eat it..."

Tears welled up in Sima Yi's eyes, and he could imagine that Fang Ying, who was usually so lofty and conceited, was struggling to pick plums in the bushes despite being bitten by mosquitoes in order to let him eat fresh and sweet plums— ——A hot current in the chest has already flowed slowly!

In order to break up the atmosphere in the venue, Fang Ying stretched out her jade hands and gently touched the veil of the icy tent, and praised deeply: "Brother Sima's family is indeed a famous family in the capital—where did they come from such a family?" Wonderful treasures of needlework? Is it only in the palace that can enjoy such a rare gauze curtain? The material of this gauze curtain is good, and the needlework is also superb."

"Mr. Fang, you missed your mark this time." Niu Jin listened and smiled lightly, "This ice tent was embroidered stitch by stitch by my son's sister Chunhua, and it's not a palace official. embroidery treasures."

"Sister Chunhua?" Fang Ying casually said, her eyes fluttering, "Is she Brother Sima's own sister? Since Brother Sima is so smart, it's no wonder his sister is so ingenious..."

"Miss Chunhua is not my young master's younger sister," Niu Jin added with a smile, "she is my young master's...that childhood sweetheart..."

"Niu Jin—" Sima Yi slurped softly, stopping Niu Jin from continuing to tease.He said sincerely to Fang Ying: "This ice tent is pretty good. There are too many mosquitoes and flies in Linglong Valley. Brother Ying, you are weak, so use this ice tent."

"Oh?" Fang Ying listened to Niu Jin's explanation just now, her bright eyes moved slightly, and her right hand, which was gently stroking the veil, stopped unknowingly.She suddenly burst out laughing, and said slowly: "Brother Sima, your childhood sweetheart, Chunhua, embroidered it for you stitch by stitch... It is made of the hard work and essence of your daughter's family—you How can you give it to others so easily? Aren't you afraid of hurting the infatuation that your sister Chunhua treats you?"

"This... this..." Sima Yi was at a loss for words for a moment, "Brother Ying and Yi are as close as brothers and feet - in the ancient book "The Book of Songs·Qin Feng" it is said: "Is there no clothes? I have the same robe as my son. Wang Yuxing master, cultivate my sword Spear, I have the same hatred with my son! Do you say no clothes? I have the same lust as my son. Wang Yuxing division, repair my spear halberd, and work together with you! Do you say no clothes? I have the same clothes as your son. Let's go together!" If Miss Chunhua knew that I gave you this ice tent, she would not blame anything according to her virtuous and virtuous disposition."

"Xianhui Shuda?" After listening to Fang Ying, she smiled "Ge Ge", and she got up from her long body and said leisurely to Sima Yi, "That's all! That's all! If you say the word 'virtuous and Shuda', I'm afraid my little brother will be more serious." I don’t dare to use the gift of love you Chunhua sister gave you! Brother Sima, please forgive me for being rude—I’m leaving now!” After speaking, he lifted the hem of his clothes, stretched out his hand and brushed aside the gauze curtain, and his expression became pale. Congealed like frost, she pulled the embarrassed Lin Qiaoer and walked away.

"This... this... I didn't say anything wrong!" Sima Yi looked at Niu Jin with a look of surprise, and some monk Zhang Er was puzzled, "What annoyed him?..."

While he was muttering to himself, he heard Ke Ling's voice at the door of the dormitory: "Brother Zhong Da, Master invites you to the Abode."

After entering the Abode, Sima Yi realized that Mr. Guan Ning was not alone in the room.A strange old man dressed in a green robe, with a thin face and an extraordinary appearance, was playing chess with Guan Ning on the square couch.Seeing him coming in, Guan Ning stopped playing chess, and introduced to the green-robed elder with a smile: "Brother Shui Jing, this Confucian scholar is Guan's new recruit--Sima Yi of Hanoi County." , he turned his head to Sima Yi and said, "This gentleman is Mr. Shui Jing, the master of Jingzhou and the owner of Qingyun Villa. You came here to pay respects."

Sima Yi has long heard that Mr. Shui Jing is a world-renowned expert—the Qingyun Villa he founded is also a gathering of talents.Seeing the master of this generation today, Sima Yi was overjoyed and hurried forward to bow respectfully to Mr. Shui Jing.

Mr. Shui Jing put down the chess piece in his hand, stood up and hurriedly returned the gift, and at the same time looked Sima Yi up and down carefully, with a look of special concern in his eyes.After looking at it, he turned to Guan Ning and said slowly: "It turns out that this young master is Sima Yi from Hanoi County! Sure enough, he was born with a heroic appearance and a clear and bright personality! The old man was far away in Jingzhou, and he had heard that he was both wise and courageous. Being able to persuade more than [-] Xiliang rebels to surrender by himself is really a genius in the sky, and the next generation will be feared! Brother Guan has such a good student, and he will have no regrets in this life!"

"Where! Where! Brother Shui Jing is too famous." Although Guan Ning was secretly proud of himself, he tried his best to thank him, "Guan, a young disciple of Sima, was able to persuade [-] Xiliang rebels to surrender that day. It's just his luck! It's nothing compared to Zhuge Liang and Pang Tong, disciples of brother Shui Jing. They have recently gained fame in the Central Plains, and are called "Crouching Dragon" and "Phoenix Young" by Confucian scholars. , I'm also happy for Brother Shui Jing."

Mr. Shui Jing heard the words, but smiled lightly, and said leisurely: "Brother Guan bears the talent of a great sage, possesses the weapon of an emperor, hides the appearance of a real dragon, cultivates diligently, and does nothing public, how can ordinary people see it? Your junior brother Hua Xin is far inferior to you - blindly showing off your talents, just wanting to be seen and used in the world... But brother Guan, your cultivation is already "do not need to be chased by the world, but be chased by the world"!"

After hearing this, Guan Ning waved his hands hastily, and smiled: "Junior Brother Hua has his own way of standing and doing things. In today's situation, it should be the duty of a hermit to go out to help the world! It's just because Guan is weak and sick, and can't bear it." The common affairs are so complicated that they had no choice but to stay in Linglong Valley."

"Brother Guan is right, but Brother Yu really looks down on Hua Xin's enthusiasm for official career. Forget it, let's not talk about him." Mr. Shui Jing turned his eyes and looked at Sima Yi again. Brother Guan, you and your disciples have already cultivated to the realm of 'magnanimity without corners, elephant without form', do not compete with popular customs, reality is better than name, quality is better than appearance, I admire you so much!"

Guan Ning stroked his beard, smiled slightly, and said for a while, "Guan heard that your disciple Zhuge Liang has always been extremely intelligent and often compares himself to Wen Ruo Guan Zhong and Wu Ruo Le Yi. Is this true? What's wrong with him? What is extraordinary and unconventional, how about you let my apprentice Sima learn from it?"

"Well...the foolish Zhuge Liang does have something extraordinary, so I just narrate it to myself, Brother Guan, please comment on it with your disciples." Mr. Shui Jing pondered for a moment, and then said, "He What impresses me the most is his unique way of reading books."

"The way of reading books?" Sima Yi listened very seriously, he couldn't help raising his figure, and asked impolitely, "What's so unique about his way of reading books?" With this name, he felt an inexplicable curiosity and impulse in his heart.Perhaps it was Zhuge Liang's title of "Crouching Dragon" that faintly shocked him? !
"Well...it's like this, the other disciples of this old man, such as Xu Shu, Meng Gongwei, Cui Zhouping, etc., are all concentrating on studying and mastering it." Mr. Shui Jing glanced at Sima Yi, but he didn't think he was disobedient, and told him He said, "Only this Zhuge Liang only 'sees the outline' of the books. He often flips through a few pages in class and then puts down the books, but when he reviews those books, he is also clear and penetrating. "

After hearing this, Sima Yi first nodded thoughtfully, then frowned, and suddenly shook his head slightly.

Mr. Shui Jing sat on the couch, saw his behavior and expression in his eyes, pondered for a while, and asked with a smile: "Mr. Sima, do you have any objections to Zhuge Liang's method of reading books? Please tell me." Listen to the old man."

"This... Then please forgive Xiaosheng for taking the liberty. After listening to what you said just now, sir, Xiaosheng first feels that this brother Zhuge has a good memory, and he can never forget it when he is studying." Sima Yi made a slight resignation, and began to talk freely. "Secondly, he was able to "see the general outline" of the group of books and make a good comment. It can be seen that he is very good at simplifying complexity and picking gold from sand. However, according to Xiaosheng's opinion, his reading style The law is still not perfect!"

"Oh? What is Mr. Sima's opinion?" Mr. Shui Jing asked with a smile.

"From Xiaosheng's point of view, it's not advisable to be like Xu Shu and Meng Gongwei who don't distinguish between good and bad, and are "proficient" in all classics; It is not advisable to know the general situation of all the classics." Sima Yi did not evade, "Xiaosheng thinks that the most appropriate way to read books should be books that should be 'for mastery', and must be 'for mastery' ;The book that should be "observed in its outline" must be "observed in its outline". Don't be paranoid."

While he was talking, Guan Ning looked at Mr. Shui Jing, his face sank slightly, and he immediately shouted at him: "You boy! ——Mr. Shui Jing's disciple, Zhuge Jun who is known as the 'Crouching Dragon' What kind of young talent is he? How can you be so simple, blunt and stubborn? How much Mr. Shui Jing respects you is the amount of his superiority; but now you are so complacent that you are talking nonsense and talking about Mr. Zhuge and his colleagues in Qingyun Villa What is the proper way? What should be the crime?"

When Sima Yi heard it, he knew that he was too blunt, so he hurriedly kowtowed to Mr. Shui Jing to apologize.

"Brother Guan, it's embarrassing for you to lecture Sima Jun like this! Sima Jun said bluntly, what's wrong? You don't have to be harsh on him." Mr. Shui Jing hurriedly helped Sima Yi back to the table and sat down gently. Glancing at him, he said with a smile, "Sima Jun, I still want to listen to your great opinions. Let's talk about which books should be 'mastered'? Which books should be 'scrutinized'? As you said, being paranoid about one end is absolutely unacceptable—however, I am afraid that being ambiguous and wandering between the two ends may not necessarily be the correct way to read books!"

After hearing this, Sima Yi fell down on the table and thanked him humbly, not daring to do so.Mr. Shui Jing had no choice but to smile at Guan Ning: "Brother Guan, your training has wiped out Sima Jun's aggression—are you teaching him to hide his clumsiness from his foolish brother?"

Only then did Guan Ning relax his face, and waved his hand at Sima Yi: "The elder asked you a question, you should answer it or you have to answer it."
