Chapter 709: Hunting Deer and Painting Crane
Chapter 709
Mr. Haoran waved his hand, sat behind the table in front, and said, "Sit down."
"Thank you, sir." The three of them sat down.
Mr. Haoran stroked his beard and said, "You have been traveling for many years and have extraordinary knowledge. Now that I have returned to the academy, I have to correct my heart and not treat my studies with a joke."
He glanced at the three people under his seat and then said, "Since ancient times, scholars have placed their imperial examinations first. From today on, until the provincial examination, they will not waste their time. If they are indifferent to the emperor, they will be taught to serve them."
After saying the last four words, Mr. Haoran's face turned into a cold color, which made the three of them feel cold all over.
"A gentleman's way is to be bound by one's way, as if he is far away, he will be far away, and as if he is climbing a high, he will be inferior. He will be based on his writing."
Mr. Haoran's words were nothing nonsense. He told the three of them clearly that this year's provincial examination, you guys will give me a good exam. If you don't concentrate on your studies, be careful of his lessons.
The three of them calmed down and began to make eight-legged essays.
For several days, the three heroes were studying in a manner and focused on their studies. In a blink of an eye, it was the tenth day of the second month. Just now, Wang Lucao called the two of them.
Wang Lucao coughed twice and said, "Today is the birthday of my father. If you have nothing to do, would you like to go and drink two glasses of water and wine?"
Shen Kang was slightly stunned and asked, "Uncle's birthday, why didn't you tell me earlier and ask me to prepare a birthday gift, but now you go to pay your birthday without any help. Wouldn't it be rude?"
Jiang Liuyi was also anxious and complained: "That's right, you are so pretentious. Since you invited us to go, you won't say it earlier."
Wang Lucao smiled softly and said, "This is what my father meant. You are all studying, and he doesn't want you to spend money."
Jiang Liuyi frowned and said, "That won't work. You guys go first. I'll go home and hurry over immediately."
Shen Kang thought for a while and said, "Brother Wang, please leave first. I will go back to Youju, change my clothes and go to the mansion to celebrate my birthday."
The two insisted on doing this, Wang Lu smiled and said, "Then you can do it yourself." After that, he got up and walked out of the door.
Jiang Liuyi curled his lips and asked, "What are you doing when you go back to Youju? There is a jade and antique shop in the county. The things are all good. You can go with me."
Shen Kang said: "Uncle Wang doesn't want us to spend money, so let's fulfill his wishes. I heard that Uncle Wang always loved Wang Youjun's words, so I went back to my room to draw a picture of pine and crane for him, and then wrote a poem to celebrate his birthday with Wang Youjun's words."
Jiang Liuqi raised his eyebrows and asked, "Have you ever copied the word Wang Youjun?"
Shen Kang smiled and said, "I like to copy copybooks. How can I not copy Wang Youjun's calligraphy and painting masters?"
Jiang Liuyannu blunt his mouth and said, "What about me? Come and think about it, what kind of birthday gift is good for me?"
Shen Kang grinned and said, "Why don't you give me a basket of peaches?"
Jiang Liuyu curled his lips, raised his fist and hit Shen Kang's shoulder, and said, "You are serious."
Shen Kang raised his hand and twisted his cuffs, thought about it for a while, and said, "Since you don't want to send peaches, why not go to the back mountain and catch a deer as a gift?"
He smiled and said, "The character "deer" has the same "shoulu" as "shoulu". One of us will give birth to longevity and one will give birth to wealth, one will give birth to literature and the other will give birth to martial arts. There is nothing better."
Jiang Liuyu opened his lips slightly and said, "Catch the deer? Are you okay? All three-year-old boys know that the wild deer is alert by nature, good at running, and can swim. He usually walks slowly and runs away when he meets the police. Even if I can float on the water, it is difficult for me to catch a complete and healthy living deer to celebrate my birthday."
"Hehe." Chen Kang smiled and said, "Since you have figured it out for you, there is naturally a way to help you catch it."
Jiang Liuyan smiled and said, "Haha, I know you have many ideas. Tell me, what do you want me to do?"
Chen Kang patted his shoulder and walked out the door with him. While explaining what he needed to do, he told him to go to the forest to arrange the arrangements in the mountains and forests, and then he went back to his room to prepare the pine and crane map.
After hearing Chen Kang's words, Jiang Liuyu took a dozen servants to the back mountain together.
Chen Kang had painted this picture of pine and cranes with great care. The distant mountains are in harmony with each other. A row of cranes are flying faintly in the sky. Near the waters, there are a pair of cranes standing, one with its head raised, as if it is about to spread its wings and fly high, and the other with its head down to drink water. At the closest point of the picture, under a pine tree growing high, two cranes accompanying each other and having fun with each other.
The whole painting, three-foot vertical painting, has a noble and elegant artistic conception, which means auspiciousness and a longevity, and is indeed a masterpiece to celebrate the birthday.
Chen Kang nodded with satisfaction, blew the undried ink marks, then picked up the pen again, and wrote a poem to celebrate his birthday on the right.
After a last look, he felt it was appropriate, and he sang: "Ashu!"
Liu Shu walked up and asked, "Young Master finished painting?"
Chen Kang nodded and said with a smile: "Yes. You ask Wei Wubai to drive the car and take you to the county town to help me find someone, so you can frame it, and then you don't have to come back to pick me up. Just wait for Mr. Jiang and I to arrive together on the street corner outside the Wang family."
Liu Shu replied, carefully rolled up the painting, put it away, and hurried to go to the door to do business.
Chen Kang originally wanted to change into a dress that looked at people, but he thought he had to go up the mountain. It would be useless to change the clothes, so he gave up.
I walked out of the door, looked up at the sky, it was almost dusk, and I walked towards the back mountain with my hands on my back.
He followed the direction he told Jiang Liuyu, and after a while, he came to the forest beside the mountain spring and the feldstone.
"Chen San!" Jiang Liuyan shouted softly, waved his hand to let Chen Kang go.
Chen Kang walked up to him and asked, "How is it? Have you done everything you have done?"
Jiang Liuqi nodded and said softly: "Two deer just now ran over, both taller than my waist."
He gestured excitedly and said, "It's so long... the antlers are so strong, but they are so terrifying. He licked the salt sprinkled on the rocks and did not lean over. We didn't dare to show our heads, for fear of disturbing them."
Chen Kang nodded and said, "That's Cheng Lu. He runs fast and is smart. It's not easy to catch. We have to choose a small one."
Jiang Liuqi was extremely excited and laughed so happily. At this time, a few light hooves came from a distance. Everyone looked over there. It was a deer with just a newly formed antler, and they came to the mountain spring to drink water.
Jiang Liuyu patted Chen Kang and tried his best to lower his voice, but he still couldn't suppress the excitement on his face and said, "Here's here."
Chen Kang raised his hand to stop him from speaking and looked at the deer beside the spring. Sure enough, after drinking the water, the deer jumped to the rocks to lick salt.
Chen Kang narrowed his eyes and smiled, waved his hand, took the red flag from Jiang Liuyu's hand, and raised it.
With this order, the servants of the Jiang family who were lying around emerged together.
A large net was pulled up instantly, and an acquaintance drove the deer from behind. The deer had no choice but to fall into the trap.
Jiang Liuyu then breathed a sigh of relief, patted Chen Kang and said, "It's really OK, hahaha."
