New Shun 1730

The sentence "I don't like red makeup but I like weapons" sounds weird, Tian Zhenyi thought that the third brother was really interesting.

When she heard Liu Yu use the metaphor of Doubi and Beihao, she smiled softly, and suddenly she felt less nervous and more natural.

She held the wide brim of her hat with her hand, looked up at the hot air balloon that was higher than the treetops, and couldn't help but exclaimed.

"The smoke is light and rises, so Wu Hou has a Kongming lantern handed down. But Wu Hou has been handed down for thousands of years, but no one thought that it could carry people to fly. How did the third brother think of it?"

How did he think of it?

Liu Yu thought that he must have copied someone else, but he said: "Investigate things and know the principles, and the principles are clear. This principle is interlinked. If I can't think of it, others can think of it. This thing is not like poetry, which is accidentally obtained by a master. It is definitely not obtained in a different mind and situation. Maybe someone else in the world has thought of it, but it is unknown."

This remark surprised Tian Zhenyi.

Tian Ping had told him a lot about Liu Yu on weekdays. In Wude Palace and at the wine table, Liu Yu was always the kind of person who could brag. In addition, he exaggerated some of the wars in the northern border, which made Tian Zhenyi think that Liu Yu must be an extremely arrogant and conceited person.

At this time, he actually heard such humble words, which was very different from the impression he had imagined before.

Tian Zhenyi felt a little bit of an indescribable mood, like the unbearable sadness in autumn and the unbearable joy in spring. I don’t know where it came from, and it’s hard to describe. I just felt a little bit of loss, and there was a little panic.

Carefully recalling the strange mood that flashed by just now, it seemed that I had grasped a little bit of the reason.

Perhaps, the person I heard and imagined was not real.

What I imagined by hearing may not be perfect, but there are always one or two things that are extremely critical. That strange loss may come from a momentary fear, worrying that what I imagined and the facts are too far apart, and there is even less of the fit at the key points.

With this sudden loss, Tian Zhenyi tried her best not to have such strange thoughts again, and slowly came to the huge hot air balloon.

"Can we go up now?"

"Yes. After going up, untie the rope and you can fly high. But there must be a rope tied to the tree."

She made a gesture of invitation, and subconsciously reached out to help Tian Zhenyi. Her hand was halfway out, and then she remembered that now was not the future, and she retracted her hand.

If there were only two people here, it would be fine to help, but the other person's brother was still here. Although they had a good relationship, I was afraid that my hand would be opened if I stretched it out.

Fortunately, the hanging basket woven with vines was not high. Liu Yu took two stones as a stepping stone, and Tian Zhenyi stepped into the hanging basket.

The silk ball was big enough to pull the weight of three people. After Liu Yu jumped up, he untied the rope used for fixing, leaving only a safety rope.

The heat had already risen, and once the rope broke, it was like a bird out of a cage, slowly flying over the treetops and dozens of feet high.

There was no wind, and being held by the rope, that was the end.

Tian Zhenyi looked at the garden under her feet, thinking that this was different from climbing a mountain to enjoy the view. The peak of Qijun must be in a place where few people are, and you can only see strange pines and rocks, but it is impossible to overlook the garden like this.

Thinking that she might be one of the first few people to climb this thing, or even the first woman in the world to climb this thing, she couldn't help but blurt out with interest: "Looking down on the world is small, and my life is so empty."

Expressing the joy in her heart, she heard from her brother that Liu Yu's level of connecting words is quite... Afraid of embarrassing Liu Yu, she said: "Third brother, I should be the first woman to ascend here?"

"Yes, yes. The first one."

Hearing the definite answer, Tian Zhenyi felt even more joyful, holding the edge of the hanging basket with both hands, and making a boastful voice, she couldn't help but shouting twice to the flat ground.

"Even many men may not have the courage to ride, let alone the courage to see the wonders behind the flying sky. Only then do I believe that men are as brave as women, who says that women are not heroes?"

Liu Yu didn't know what he thought of all of a sudden, and laughed out loud.

Tian Zhenyi looked over sideways, frowned and said: "Why are you laughing, third brother? Do you think I'm wrong? Or do you think Zhenyi's words are funny?"

Liu Yu waved his hand hurriedly, but couldn't stop smiling.

"No, no, no... Sister is right. I thought of a play I heard before, and there was a clever part in it, and I couldn't help laughing for a while."

Perhaps because he was afraid that Tian Zhenyi would think in a wrong way, and felt that he was mocking her "not knowing the height of the sky and the depth of the earth, and a hen dares to call herself a hero", he could only clear his throat and sing a paragraph.

Brother Liu's words were too biased, who said that women enjoy leisure.

Men fight at the border, and women weave at home.

Go to farm during the day and spin cotton at night.

Only by working hard day and night can the soldiers have food and clothing.

If you don't believe it, please look at it. Our shoes and socks, as well as clothes and shirts...

As soon as he opened his mouth, he naturally brought a Henan accent, and the sentence "If you don't believe it, you" was even more pronounced.

"Sister, I don't know. I heard this lyrics by accident, and because the lyrics make sense, I wrote it down. This is a Mulan opera, and it only says that there is a man named Liu among Mulan's comrades."

"But it happens that my surname is also Liu. I thought that it was my pleasure to see my sister taking advantage of this high place to look far away. If there are a few words of male and female, wouldn't it be in line with 'Brother Liu's words are too biased'?"

Tian Zhenyi then turned from anger to joy, and said in surprise: "I have also read Xu Wei's "Female Mulan" and Zhu Guozhen's "General Mulan", but this is the first time I have heard such lyrics. The "Female Mulan" is okay, but as for "General Mulan", it is really inferior. It says that the emperor wants to take Mulan as his concubine, but Mulan commits suicide because of "the minister cannot match the emperor's etiquette". However, she was posthumously named Xiaolie. In the end, Mulan, who joined the army for her father, became a chaste woman who did not violate the emperor's etiquette. This artistic conception is far inferior to the one sung by my third brother."

The more I appreciate it, the more I feel that this part of the lyrics is very interesting. Although the words are quite rough, the truth and charm in it are hundreds and thousands of times higher than the Mulan librettos I have heard before. I really can't think of what kind of person can write such lyrics in this world.

Thinking about the "coincidence" here, I also laughed. Isn't his surname Liu?

Only then did he realize that Liu Yu's smile just now was not meant to mock or disdain, and the uneasy stone in his heart fell to the ground.

Liu Yu recalled this old tune, thinking about the new world of the female tractor driver on the one-yuan banknote that impressed him the most, and a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.

"Sister Zhenyi is so brave, I am full of joy in my heart, how could I mock or laugh? But it is hard to find the person who sang this lyrics, I just heard it by chance and remembered it in my heart."

"To be honest, I didn't know that my sister had such courage before. Otherwise, I would definitely ask my sister to accompany me when I ascended for the first time. If nothing else, it is for people to recall the first time a person ascended to the sky in the future, and they will think of a woman. It can also be regarded as a beautiful story of Mulan in our dynasty, and it also fulfills my sister's words: I believe that men are as brave as women, who says that women are not heroes!"

Tian Zhenyi looked at Liu Yu's face carefully, as if she wanted to see through Liu Yu's face and listen carefully to whether what Liu Yu said was true.

After a long time, he turned his head and stared blankly at the void in the distance.

I thought: Since you think so, it is not in vain that I have fantasized about you in my daily life. You are really a confidant. But since I want you to be my confidant, I don’t know what you are thinking. When can I be your confidant? If I don’t know and understand, being your confidant is just an empty talk. In the end, I always think of you as my confidant, but you only think of me as a strange woman. Although I am not vulgar, I am just like that.

My heart gradually became heavy, and a sweet and bitter sadness surged, like chewing sugar cane that was splashed with vinegar. I know that I can’t see you often in the future, and I am afraid that I can’t even know what Liu Yu is thinking.

I am always an optimistic person on weekdays. I don’t feel sad about autumn, but I am happy that the autumn chrysanthemums are dying. But today, I don’t know why, since I came here, I still worry about gains and losses two or three times.

Feeling a little depressed, he shook his head vigorously, as if he wanted to get rid of all the pent-up energy in his head. Just then a gust of wind came, and Tian Zhenyi said, "Brother San, why don't you untie the rope? You can just ride the wind. Why bother to tie the rope and make it difficult for you to have fun?"

Liu Yu shook his head.

"Sister, you are brave, but I am timid. Today is different from the past. I was not afraid of death back then, but I am afraid of death today. This thing is risky and can kill people."

This was a strange statement, Tian Zhenyi was puzzled, and asked: "What was more or less than today?"

"Well...back then I was just the second son who could not inherit the title, but today I am a member of the Shangshe Guard. Back then I dared to risk my life because I could not achieve my goal without risking my death. Now I dare not risk my life because I can not achieve my goal without dying."

"Everyone has to die. If I had flown for the first time back then, it might have been heavier than Mount Tai; but today I am riding the wind, it would be lighter than a feather. I am not afraid of my sister laughing at me, but I want to say: who else but me?"

Tian Zhenyi naturally knew that there was another half to Mencius's words.

If you want to pacify the world, who else but me in this world?

"Let's do this. I'll make a promise here. If I succeed in my ambition, I'll invite you to ride the wind with me. Even if I die, I won't regret it. I'm just afraid that you won't be able to leave the house by then."

The first half of the sentence was fine, but the second half was a bit flirtatious. Everyone in the hanging basket could understand it, but they all pretended not to understand.

Tian Zhenyi was touched by the first half of the sentence, and moved by the second half. Even though she was usually very clever, she didn't know what to say at this time.

I didn't know whether Liu Yu said that flirtatious words on purpose, or if I was just being sentimental. It was even harder to ask clearly. I felt like an ant was crawling through my heart.

After a long time, he suppressed the urge to hint at that sentence, avoided what he really wanted to say, turned into an ignorant smile, and said: "Okay, a gentleman's promise can move Mount Tai. When the third brother fulfills his wish, we will travel with the wind again."

Another gust of wind blew, and Tian Zhenyi never mentioned the words of riding the wind again. He silently appreciated the scenery below, and a little lightness surged in his heart. He felt that although he didn't know what Liu Yu wanted, it was difficult to be a confidant, but a real man should be like this, with the world in mind.

When it was gradually getting to noon, the fire was finally extinguished and slowly fell down.

They had a summer picnic in the old garden next to them, and Tian Zhenyi didn't write a single poem again.

Before leaving, Tian Zhenyi stepped half of her foot on the carriage and suddenly asked, "Third brother, I heard that you are quite knowledgeable about Western learning. I also enjoy stargazing on weekdays. As for solar and lunar eclipses, there are still some things I don't understand. I'll ask my brother to bring them to you in a few days. Can you help me find out what's wrong?"

"Okay."

"Yes."

No more words were spoken. After saying goodbye, he got on the carriage without lifting the curtain again.

Tian Ping went to say goodbye to Liu Yu. When he returned home, Tian Ping asked, "Solar and lunar eclipses, you know more about them than me. What is there that you don't understand?"

Tian Zhenyi chuckled, and said generously without any hesitation: "You always say that he knows little about poetry. Do I want to write poems and ask him to comment on them?"

This was bold and a bit shrewd, like the courage of Hong Fu. Tian Ping smiled and was about to leave, but heard his sister say again: "Don't tell him what I just said. If he asks me about something, you are not allowed to tell me. I have my own paper and pen. Good brother, don't tell this to father, mother, elder brother and elder sister, sister, please."

Tian Ping responded, thinking to himself, silly sister, do you really think I can come up with a thousand taels of silver at once? Do you really think that my father had to find him to do something and promoted him because he was really devoted to the country and had far-reaching plans for the meritorious officials, and had no personal intentions for his children? But I didn't expect that it was really beyond my expectations. He rose straight up instead of rising slowly, and now it is difficult to deal with it.
