Shen Tang: “…”
Although it is a good thing that the little girl has the ambition to make progress, I am not the material to be a teacher. Apart from other things, I am also confused when I say something stupid.
To be precise, the ability to “transform things by speaking” is not unique to Shen Tang.
For example, Qi Shan and his "spreading out in a crisscross pattern" created a small stage suitable for the display of literary energy, turning literary energy into a wall to block the enemy and disrupt the formation, which is also "transforming things with words". For example, Gong Shuwu, Banbu, Gongxichou, and Zhai Le, the brave warriors, transformed their words into soldiers, armor, war horses, and weapons, which is also "transforming things with words".
The only special thing about Shen Tang is that her literary energy can be transformed into the form of "food", which can be absorbed by the human body and used for its own benefit.
Special, but not that special.
Why did Lin Feng learn this from me
Shen Tang was ready to have a heart-to-heart talk with the little girl.
Lin Feng was obviously mentally prepared.
She did not directly answer Shen Tang's question - why did she want to learn such a special "transformation of things with words" - but instead asked a question that had troubled her for a long time: "Forgive me for the offense, my lord, what do you think is the foundation of life?"
Shen Tang looked at the little girl's thin face due to mourning and hard training, and was a little surprised by her question. At the same time, he felt a little inexplicably emotional. Lin Feng had experienced several major changes and finally grew up. What grew up was not age, but mentality.
She did not treat Lin Feng casually.
"The foundation of life?"
"I need to think about this question carefully."
After careful consideration, Shen Tang gave an answer carefully.
"I don't know how others would answer, but for me, my answer should be 'ability' - the ability that is truly in your hands. To a certain extent, the more difficult it is for others to easily replace the 'ability' you control, the safer your situation will be and the more stable your foundation will be. Do you understand this answer?"
Lin Feng's eyes were a little confused: "Ability? Forgive me for being stupid and not being able to fully understand it..."
It’s not that her ability to understand is poor, but that she can’t think of any ability of hers that cannot be easily replaced by others.
The thought of this made her feel anxious and uncomfortable.
Shen Tang put his arm around the little girl's shoulders.
"Let me give you an example."
Shen Tangxu pointed at Lin Feng's lower abdomen and said, "For example, here, as a woman, as long as she doesn't have any congenital diseases, when she is old enough to have children, she will have the ability to give birth to children, which is something that men don't have."
Shen Tang's style suddenly changed.
"But this ability cannot be the basis for 'making a living'. Because there are half and half men and women in the world. If the only purpose is to have a child, half of the women can be replaced. The same is true for men. If the woman only wants a child, any fertile man in the world can give her a child, so why must it be a specific person?"
Seeing Lin Feng's expression getting even more confused, Shen Tang realized that her topic seemed to be beyond the scope, and the example she gave was not appropriate for Lin Feng at this age. She changed the subject: "Giving this example is to tell you that dependence is innate..."
Lin Feng said, "I understand."
Shen Tang was stunned: "Do you understand?"
Lin Feng nodded and said, "Yes! For example, Jiaci and the others, their ability to 'make a living' is their family background, managing the harem for their father, and managing the clan relationships, not giving birth to children. Several of my father's children were also born to his concubine mother..."
Shen Tang was secretly shocked.
Lin Feng added: "But this ability is obviously not reliable... Otherwise, Jiaci would not have died a violent death. When she was still in Lingzhou, Jiaci once took me to various families to appreciate flowers. There were many ladies who respected their parents-in-law, raised their children, and were good at feeding the family. They managed a large family in an orderly manner, but they were still ignored and scolded by their husbands, and they were not given any dignity..."
The more she talked about it, the more she felt that this ability made her feel insecure, and Lin Feng was after more than just this.
Shen Tang somewhat understood Lin Feng's uneasiness.
"So, that's why you need to study hard with your teacher. You have literary spirit and can focus your literary mind. You have far more choices than those women trapped in the backyard."
Lin Feng shook his head: "Not enough."
Shen Tang asked: "Not enough?"
"How many scholars of literary mind are there in this world? I haven't condensed my literary mind yet, so I don't know my rank or qualifications. Except for my gender being the same as yours, as a woman, it doesn't make my verbal ability even three times stronger! Just speaking of 'scholars of literary mind', how many scholars of literary mind are there in this world who can replace me? It's like a woman can give birth to a child for her husband, but the husband doesn't necessarily have to have this woman. If you want to achieve great things in the future, why must you have me?"
Shen Tang was completely stunned when he heard this.
He said with a smile, "You're worried about that?"
Lin Feng: "I read an article a few days ago, and there is a sentence in it - I heard that those who use beauty to please others will lose their love when their beauty fades. That lady used her beauty to serve others, while scholars use their 'talent' to serve their masters instead of 'affection'. My lord, you have affection for me, but how long can this affection last? Can it allow me to 'live and work'?"
This statement is indeed quite bold.
Lin Feng blurted out everything in a rush, and only after she finished did she realize something was wrong. Her face suddenly lost color, and she looked at Shen Tang anxiously and fearfully. Shen Tang treated her well, but her words were a bit "heartbreaking" and "unfeeling"...
But that wasn't her intention.
Lin Feng has always been feeling uneasy.
She just wanted to be special.
To Shen Tang, she is unique, and there are few people who can replace her; if the environment is magnified, she is also special, and she can protect herself if she falls into the enemy camp one day. If she really reaches that situation, who else can she rely on except her own ability? How can she be lucky enough to meet another Gong Xichou
As a woman with literary temperament, Lin Feng is really afraid that there is only one lover in the world besides herself - afraid of being isolated and helpless, afraid of being replaced by other better people, afraid of being ignored by Shen Tang, and afraid of being rejected by the whole world.
so-
Lin Feng has been thinking about this problem.
What is the foundation for a stable life
Shen Tang did not reprimand Lin Feng, nor did he show a bad expression, but he held the little girl in his arms and comforted her gently. After a few breaths, Lin Feng's eyes turned red and tears fell.
"My dear, I am not blaming you..."
Shen Tang said: "I know."
Shen Tang: "My answer is unclear."
Lin Feng suppressed his shame and guilt and said, "I have been learning the ways of governing the world from my teacher, but I always feel that it is not enough, and I can't explain why. I am worried that my talent is limited, and I will not be as good as my teacher and all the gentlemen in the future... I am really, really ashamed that I have such thoughts, but..."
But she had no control over it.
She didn't know why she was like this.
Because of my gender and isolation, I subconsciously regarded my mentor and several other teachers as competitors.
So, she tried to find a way out.
Free yourself from this annoying emotion.
She thought of Shen Tang.
Maybe I can give her some advice.
Shen Tang did not expect Lin Feng to be so sensitive and thoughtful, but he was not very old and could only communicate with Chu Yao.
He scratched his head, pondered over and over again, and was worried that inappropriate words would cause estrangement between Chu Yao and Lin Feng, the master and disciple.
She has a very difficult life as a lord.
result-
The older you are, the wiser it gets. Chu Yao had noticed it early on, otherwise he would not have taken the initiative to bring Lin Feng over.
Chu Yao looked at the blue bird, whose wings could barely support its entire body, and sighed. He read the letter and highlighted the key points. He was also a person who had experienced many hardships, and he could completely empathize with Lin Feng's feelings.
But he couldn't comfort Lin Feng. Compared with his somewhat strict teacher who rarely communicated with her, Lin Feng was closer to Shen Tang, the man who saved her. The knot in one's heart had to be spoken out and laid out before it could be untied.
Chu Yao sighed slightly.
Shen Tang and Lin Feng are both women, but they have different identities. Wu Lang is the lord, the one who is loyal and followed, and has powerful military power, while Lin Feng is the one who follows and is loyal to her.
The latter will worry that he is not valued or needed, while the former will only worry that there are not enough people following him. But as long as he does not fail miserably, Goro will never lack followers.
This sense of security and self-confidence is something that Lin Feng cannot possess. The difference is not only due to his status, but also because Lin Feng has experienced many misfortunes at a young age.
Lin Feng's talent is still unknown. If she is not talented, and is not as invincible as a brave warrior, then as a rare female scholar, it is indeed embarrassing to be neither good nor bad. Chu Yao has some vague plans.
This was also the path he planned and paved for Lin Feng.
The inspiration came from Shen Tang.
In the past, the words of the gods were mainly based on the military, legal, Confucian, and Taoist schools. Literary scholars had their own preferences, and the "way of the princes" of the rulers of various countries were also the same. But my lord was different, her "way of the princes" jumped out of the scope of these schools.
So-
Can the words of the literati and scholars also jump out of this category? This thought made Chu Yao's heart beat like a drum.
If possible -
No one will be able to easily replace Lin Feng in the future. At least, she will have a foundation to settle down in this world.
Chu Yao only told Shen Tang about these plans.
Shen Tang: “…”
Do this master and disciple consider themselves as mouthpieces
One doesn't say, the other doesn't ask.
well-
It is not easy to be a lord these days. Not only must you maintain the "father-daughter relationship and master-disciple relationship" between your subordinates, but you must also learn to enlighten the sensitive thoughts of little girls. But since Chu Yao asked, Shen Tang would naturally not refuse. The next day, he found Lin Feng, whose eyes were red and swollen.
"I've been thinking about it day and night, and now I have a solution."
Lin Feng felt more and more guilty and lowered his head.
I didn't expect that my husband would be so concerned about my affairs. When I thought about my own feelings, I felt even more ashamed.
Shen Tang said: "You have to learn how to govern the world."
Lin Feng nodded vigorously and solemnly.
This was natural. When she was studying with Chu Yao, she secretly vowed to climb to the top and gain power!
Her ambition had already flourished under the deliberate guidance of Chu Yao and others as well as her own experiences.
"Do you know what the common people regard as heaven?"
Shen Tang didn't continue talking, but instead asked a question.
Lin Feng: "Some people say that food is the most important thing in life."
"Then you should pursue this piece of sky well."
Lin Feng was stunned, puzzled: "Huh?"
Shen Tang said: "Yuan Liang said that my literati's way is related to 'farming' or farming. Perhaps because of this, food appears when you speak. This proves that words can be transformed into food. Even if you can't turn it into ready-made food, your literati's way or the words you control can help the crops and make the grains of the world ripe. You can even carry forward this way. Who in this world can easily replace you? Lin Feng, in my eyes and your teacher's eyes, you are unique."
Shen Tang's words were like a ray of hope that made Lin Feng suddenly see the moon. His feet, which had been hanging in the air and had no strength in the air, finally stepped on solid ground.
She fell into deep thought.
After a while, his eyes became brighter and brighter.
Yes, that's how it should be!
She was not very talented in martial arts, and could not be as skilled in swordsmanship as her teacher and other gentlemen, nor could she fight on the battlefield like her husband. Her literary talent was still unknown, but she could be sure of the direction of her future efforts—
Since food is the most important thing for people, then she protects the sky for the people. Isn't this enough for them to live and work
Wasn't it for this reason that she wanted to learn the unique "transmutation of things with words" from her husband? She was suddenly freed from the annoying and tormenting melancholy, and her mind suddenly became bright and clear.
I closed my eyes involuntarily and imagined the scene in my mind.
Shen Tang: “???”
What is going on
Sensing the unusual movement of the energy of heaven and earth around him, Shen Tang summoned the blue bird and sent a letter to Chu Yao to inquire.
This time, the blue bird was very slim, and it flew at a speed of 70 miles per hour. It was free and easy, and it flew straight to Chu Yao. When Chu Yao received the blue bird, he thought it was Qishan and the others.
result-
Goro
Can Wulang’s blue bird be so agile
When he opened it, Chu Yao was stunned.
From all indications, it seems that it may be...
Gu Chi came over curiously and asked what happened.
Chu Yao's expression was blank, and he responded after a while: "Wang Chao, have you heard that some people's literary mind has not yet been condensed, but the way of scholars has shown signs of awakening? Or... awakening?"
Gu Chi placed the back of his hand against his forehead to test the temperature.
No fever.
Gu Chi: "Are you dreaming?"
Gu Chi added: "I have indeed seen this kind of situation."
Chu Yao quickly asked: "When?"
Gu Chi said: "The storybook of the market town."
Those who don’t even know what Wenxin is love to fantasize about things like being born with two or three literary talents, or the fusion and evolution of the literary talents, or even being born with the literary talent, with the King Wen Gua in the left hand and the River Map and Luoshu in the right hand, saying “I am the savior saint” when they are born… Being able to write at the age of three, being able to fight at the age of four, being crowned king and prime minister at the age of five…
There is nothing they can't write, except what you can't think of.
Chu Yao: “…”
Chu Yao said: "... I am not joking."
He was asking this question seriously.
Gu Chi also took it seriously: "Who is it?"
Chu Yao said: "My disciple, Lin Feng."
Gu Chi: "... Can you tell me more about it?"
After listening to it, Gu Chi prepared to go there in person.
I have read so many outrageous street stories, but this is the first time I have seen someone who has already shown the Way of the Scholar before he has even formed his literary mind. I don’t even know what the Way of the Scholar is. Not counting Shen Tang, this is the first time in the world that a female literary mind has shown the Way of the Scholar!
Anyway, Gong Shuwu is here and the people in the valley are stable, so it’s okay for Gu Chi to leave for a day or two.
Chu Yao said: "Then I'll trouble Wang Chao to make a trip."
Just after Gu Chi left for a cup of tea, Shen Tang received a reply from Chu Yao.
