After the college entrance examination, life began to follow one's heart

Chapter 126 Wearing Mingyu to compare purity, Qi Youlan to compete for fragrance, Hanfu Shang Wanjun

Xu Lin clicked on the friend request list.

Sure enough, I saw a WeChat message with the note saying "Xia Xiyao".

He clicked to agree.

Then, Xu Lin spoke first and replied with an ancient greeting: "Hello."

Xia Xiyao: "Hello. Smile.jpg"

Xu Lin did not reply and waited for the other party to speak.

However, after half a minute, there was no message, so Xu Lin simply ignored it.

Hey.

News from Shang Wanjun has arrived.

Shang Wanjun: “Yeah.”

Um what?
Shang Wanjun: "Are you free?"

I'm definitely free.

Xu Lin was excited. As long as he went with the other party, he could get a reward.

Skills? Buffs? Or some special items?
Xu Lin replied: "I am free. What time are you going to leave tomorrow?"

Shang Wanjun: "It depends on your arrangement. I'll go and take a look."

Xu Lin pressed on: "Teacher, are you wearing Hanfu? I heard there will be a lot of people wearing Hanfu at the event."

Shang Wanjun borrowed a donkey to go downhill: "Hanfu is fine, I haven't worn Hanfu yet."

Xu Lin: "I'll pick you up at the school gate at nine o'clock tomorrow."

Shang Wanjun: “Yeah.”

It was past ten o'clock in the evening when Ning Yuhan finally finished her English.

Xu Lin was responsible for revising the composition and English-to-Chinese translation, and gave Ning Yuhan some revision suggestions.

It was easy for Xu Lin.

"Senior, this kind of composition should be a perfect score or close to it, right?"

Xu Lin looked at the essay and said, "No matter how well you write, it's only worth one or two extra points. You should focus on the multiple-choice questions and reading comprehension questions."

"I knew!"

“How are the answers to the other questions?”

Xu Lin was curious.

Ning Yuhan checked her answers and said, "I lost points on 8 multiple-choice questions. But this isn't an exam room, there's no tense atmosphere, so it's hard to say. My true level will be revealed once I'm in the exam room, so I have to keep working hard."

"When is the exam?"

"Mid-December!"

"Isn't that still two months away?"

"But it will be over soon!"

"Let's talk about it later. It's already past ten o'clock. Let's do something fun, Senior."

Xu Lin smiled evilly, hugged her and kissed her neck.

"But I want to take a shower first. It's sunny during the day and I'm sweating."

"I don't dislike you, and you don't dislike me either."

Xu Lin hugged his senior sister to the bed, and in no time, both of their clothes were gone.

"Senior, I want twintails!"

"What's so good about twintails?"

The senior student couldn’t understand it for a moment, Xu Lin just liked her with twin ponytails.

When doing that kind of thing, Xu Lin said he wanted to be the steering wheel.

"Cute, what's the reason?"

"Then wait for me."

The senior student was still a little shy. She covered her private parts with her hands, reached for her schoolbag, took out the small hair tie from it, and finally made her hair into two ponytails.

Yu Xinyan also had twin ponytails today, but the two girls had completely different styles.

Xu Lin couldn't describe the feeling.

If you have to say which one is better, both are good, equally good, and each has its own merits.

"Come here quickly!"

"Here it comes, so urgent!"

Ning Yuhan covered her body and came over, but before she reached Xu Lin, she was pulled into his arms.

However, Xu Lin didn't bother her much tonight. They took a shower and went to bed after twelve o'clock.

She worked as a volunteer all day, basically under the sun, and it would be a lie to say she wasn't tired.

Xu Lin would not be a volunteer for this kind of thing even if he was paid. But it is different for Ning Yuhan. Being a volunteer will enrich her spiritual world. She is optimistic and hardworking. Even Xu Lin, who has a more Buddhist philosophy of life, may not understand her.

Silent all night.

The next day everything was the same as usual. Xu Lin took Ning Yuhan to have breakfast, and then drove all the way to the volunteer gathering point.

The city cycling race actually lasts for a day and a half, so Ning Yuhan can leave at noon. Today there are only half-day volunteers.

"Are you going to grade homework this afternoon instead of volunteering?"

Xu Lin mentioned it.

"I'll go if you accompany me." Ning Yuhan put her hands behind her back. She had two ponytails today, but because she had to wear a baseball cap, it was not a high ponytail but a low ponytail, but it still looked good.

"Then don't go. Take a rest in the afternoon and give yourself some time to relax."

"Uh-huh."

"I'm leaving now. I should pick you up at one o'clock."

"Then I wait for you!"

Then Xu Lin drove all the way back to school.

Time: 8:43 am.

He opened WeChat and prepared to call Shang Wanjun.

At this time, he noticed the news that Xia Xiyao came at 11 o'clock last night.

Xia Xiyao: "You should only choose one between Xiyan and Ning Yuhan. It's not right to have your cake and eat it too. I can't stand it!"

Xia Xiyao: "This behavior is very immoral. If it gets exposed, I don't know what the consequences will be!"

"cut."

Xu Lin swiped left to delete the message and set the other party's messages to do not disturb.

Even though Xia Xiyao stayed in his rental house, Xu Lin was not familiar with her at all and they barely exchanged a few words.

And for now, Xu Lin didn't provoke her.

"Teacher, I'm downstairs at your dormitory."

"I'm frying rice dumplings, do you want some?"

Shang Wanjun took a photo of Xu Lin and sent it to him.

It is the kind of long rice dumplings, cut into pieces and fried in a pan. It looks very appetizing.

Xu Lin was quite interested: "Here I come!"

He hasn't eaten zongzi for a long time.

Soon Xu Lin went upstairs.

"Did you make these dumplings yourself or buy them?"

A few minutes later, Xu Lin ate the hot rice dumplings, which were filled with mung beans, peanuts and half lean pork. They were specially fried and tasted delicious, and the burnt parts were a bit crispy.

"My mom did it."

Shang Wanjun said.

"Auntie's cooking skills are so good?"

Xu Lin took a photo and sent it to Ms. Ren.

"Is it delicious?" Shang Wanjun asked.

"I think it tastes good, it's the kind of flavor I like."

Zongzi are made all over the country, and there are all kinds of flavors, but Xu Lin only likes the fillings of mung beans, peanuts, and pork. In addition, beef can be replaced with meat, and the taste is almost the same. As for other fillings, Xu Lin can't stand them.
"If it tastes good, eat more." Shang Wanjun nodded.

She had just gotten up and was still wearing her home pajamas, the kind of common girls' pajamas, nothing special.

Later, the two of them had their fill.

Xu Lin saw that the time was almost up, "Teacher, when do we leave?"

"Then wait for me to change my clothes."

"Ok."

While Shang Wanjun went to the bathroom to change clothes, Xu Lin opened his phone and replied to his mother's message.

Ms. Ren: “?”

"I haven't had the rice dumplings you made in a while. Could you send a few over?"

"I'll buy some glutinous rice to make it tonight!"

It was rare that her son wanted to eat the rice dumplings she made, so Ms. Ren had an idea and decided to buy some glutinous rice after get off work in the afternoon.

"I want lean pork!"

"That pork is all lean."

Ms. Ren added, "I'll make a few more and you can bring them to Yanyan when the time comes."

Ms. Ren: "By the way, Yanyan wants one too!"

"I'll give it to them when the time comes!"

"Xu Lin, I treat Yanyan as my goddaughter now. Please take care of her and don't bully her, otherwise I will really teach you a lesson in Jiangdu!"

The appearance of Rong Xiyan perfectly fulfilled Ms. Ren's dream of having a daughter.

Especially Rong Xiyan is so well-behaved and pretty, Ms. Ren likes her very much.

"I know, let's not talk about it for now."

She actually became his goddaughter. Xu Lin felt a little weird.

Because his relationship with Rong Xiyan is now unclear.

Squeak.

Just then, Shang Wanjun came out.

But it's not Hanfu, just everyday clothes, long sleeves and a pair of gray jeans with loose legs.

After Shang Wanjun came out, he changed into a pair of sneakers.

Everyday wear.

"I should be able to change into Hanfu over there, right?" Shang Wanjun didn't want to wear Hanfu here at school, for fear of being seen by others.

"It shouldn't be a problem. I saw there was a special Hanfu event there, and there might even be someone there who would do Hanfu makeup for you."

Shang Wanjun nodded and put the Hanfu clothes into a clothing bag.

Shang Wanjun has never worn Hanfu and really wants to experience it once. Trying it on in the dormitory doesn’t count.

"Xu Lin, thank you for accompanying me!"

After getting in the car, Shang Wanjun said behind Xu Lin.

"I also want to see the beauties in Hanfu."

Xu Lin smiled as he drove.

"Where's your girlfriend?"

"There's a bicycle race in the city, and she went there to volunteer today."

"Oh."

After a moment of silence, Shang Wanjun asked again, "How was your recent reading of Liezi Yishuo?"

"finish watching."

"Xu Lin, do you have any ideas?"

"Hmm... I was pondering Yang Zhu's thoughts. Isn't one of his propositions 'If plucking a single hair could benefit the world, I would not do it'?"

"Correct."

Shang Wanjun asked, "What do you think of this idea? He advocated not plucking a hair, nor taking a millimeter. The two are one and the same. If you only look at the former, you will think Yang Zhu is selfish. If you only look at the latter, you will think Yang Zhu is selfless."

Not giving away even a single hair means not giving away anything that belongs to you. To expand on this, not giving away your own things to help others or benefit the collective is a completely opposite and conflicting idea to the traditional collective spirit.

But on the other hand, Yang Zhu also said "don't take a single cent," which means he will not touch any of the interests of others. In this society, everyone does not touch me and I don't touch you, and we do not infringe on each other and live in peace.

Xu Lin said, "This kind of thinking is rather extreme and can only be applied to oneself. It has no meaning in expanding it. Moreover, in terms of human nature, when we see others have good things, many people will reach out to take them, or even plunder them. This is human nature as well as animal nature. Therefore, Yang Zhu's ideas have no meaning and cannot be promoted. They can only be theoretical ideas. Perhaps this is why Yang Zhu is not as famous as Laozi and Zhuangzi."

Relatively speaking, Laozi and Zhuangzi have much more positive energy than Yang Zhu.

This kind of positive energy is not the current mainstream positive energy, but rather an idea that is easier for people to accept.

Shang Wanjun: "What about his other three ideas? Valuing oneself and rebirth, selflessness for the sake of others, and despising material things and rebirth. I want to hear what you have to say."

Xu Lin then started chatting with her again.

As they were chatting, Xu Lin and his friends arrived at their destination.

The traditional cultural corner was held in another urban area of ​​Jiangdu. The event was quite large in scale and there were many people on site.

Xu Lin saw that there was quite a lot of publicity on the short video.

After arriving at the scene, Xu Lin also saw several female internet celebrities with ancient style.

Those who watch a lot of short videos know that there are all kinds of internet celebrities on the platform, and ancient style female internet celebrities are one of them. Many female internet celebrities in this track have millions of fans.

Judging from the short videos, these female internet celebrities are quite pretty.

As for the reality, Xu Lin thought it was okay.

He is now very picky about beautiful women. He requires appearance, height, figure, and finally, temperament.

However, most female internet celebrities, and even most good-looking women online, will reveal their flaws when they meet real people.

For example, the female internet celebrities Xu Lin sees now have too heavy makeup on their faces, and he wonders if they will look good after removing their makeup.

Xu Lin asked others and found out that there was indeed a place that did Hanfu makeup.

He took Shang Wanjun to the destination and saw many girls who had already changed into Hanfu and were waiting for makeup artists to help them with their makeup.

And here, there are eight makeup artists.

"Teacher, go change your clothes first!"

"Uh-huh!"

Xu Lin took her to the fitting room.

However, Xu Lin went in to take a look and then came out again.

"Xu Lin, what were you looking at just now?"

"See if there are any cameras."

"That shouldn't be the case, right?"

"It's always better to be careful about everything."

"That's thoughtful."

Shang Wanjun smiled, "Is it okay now?"

"Okay."

Xu Lin was waiting outside for Shang Wanjun to change his clothes.

Ten minutes later, Shang Wanjun came out. She was wearing a lavender and white Hanfu. She had an elegant temperament, a bookish air and a sense of alienation, like a solitary orchid in a valley, unique and different.

"Does it look good?"

Shang Wanjun turned slightly in front of Xu Lin, just to the left and then to the right, not a 360-degree circle.

"I wear the jade to compare purity, and the orchid to compete for fragrance."

Xu Lin pondered for a moment and said lightly.

"Tao Yuanming's 'Idle Feelings'."

Shang Wanjun smiled sweetly.

Xu Lin looked at her long hair and said, "But we still need a hairstyle. Let's go outside and wait for the makeup artist!"

"Uh-huh!"

Shang Wanjun then followed Xu Lin out of the fitting room and went outside to wait for the makeup artist.

When the people at the scene saw Shang Wanjun coming out, their expressions froze.

At the Hanfu scene, most of the girls are ordinary girls. To put it bluntly, many of them are ugly, even with makeup on.

There are only a few good-looking ones, but they are not that good-looking. As long as they are not fat, have a good figure, and are not ugly, they can look good with makeup. You must know that makeup is one of the four major magics in East Asia, and its power is still terrifying, especially if the makeup artist is capable.

But it is rare to find someone as naturally beautiful as Shang Wanjun in reality.

If you look a little closer, you will find that Shang Wanjun is not wearing any makeup. But she looks so beautiful even without makeup, which is rare in real life. After all, real beautiful women and handsome men are very rare.

At this time, Shang Wanjun stood beside Xu Lin with her hands clasped in front of her, her fingers clasped together. She didn't play with her mobile phone, but just waited quietly for the makeup artist.

Ten minutes later, it was her turn.

"Sister, let me help you put on makeup!"

The makeup artist was a girl who looked less than 20 years old and a little naughty.

"Sister, sit here!"

"Thank you."

Shang Wanjun smiled sweetly.

"Sister, you are so beautiful!"

The makeup artist was amazed when she saw Shang Wanjun up close. She felt as if the world had brightened up. "I've never seen a girl as beautiful as you in my life!"

"LOL, really?"

Shang Wanjun still had a smile on his face.

"Really, sister, you are so beautiful, and your boyfriend is so handsome."

The makeup artist looked at Xu Lin again.

Shang Wanjun turned around and looked at Xu Lin who was ten meters away. She wanted to say that he was her student or brother, but she didn't say anything in the end.

It’s not that she tacitly agrees with anything, or that she likes Xu Lin, but she is a bit world-weary and too lazy to explain meaningless issues to others. As long as it doesn’t affect her life and work, she generally ignores it.

"Sister, what type of makeup do you want? Light makeup or heavy makeup?"

"Light makeup!"

Shang Wanjun seldom wears makeup because she finds it troublesome. As a self-entertaining literary youth, her world is inward-looking rather than outward-looking. That is to say, she does not care about other people's eyes, and her clothes are not matched for others to see.

"What about hairstyles? Look at the hairstyles in the pictures, which one do you want, sister?"

Shang Wanjun took a look and said, "This one!"

"Oh! I think this hairstyle looks good on my sister!"

The makeup artist chattered non-stop, but Shang Wanjun didn't mind. She thought this girl was very simple and it was very relaxing to talk to her.

Because Shang Wanjun wore light makeup, and with her hairstyle and accessories, her makeup was done in just thirty minutes.

"Sister, look in the mirror, you look so beautiful!"

The makeup artist exclaimed, "Sister, can I take a photo with you?"

"Yeah, okay."

"Thank you sister!"

The makeup artist took several photos.

Shang Wanjun looks even more beautiful after putting on Hanfu makeup. At this moment, it is not an exaggeration to say that Shang Wanjun is a fairy who has descended to earth.

The people around were also stunned. The girls wearing Hanfu were amazed and felt ashamed when they saw it. As for jealousy, that was not the case because Shang Wanjun beat them in all aspects. They couldn't be jealous even if they wanted to, and could only feel envy and inferiority.

"Xu Lin, what do you think?"

This time, Shang Wanjun turned around in front of Xu Lin, a 360-degree circle.

Shang Wanjun's train of thought is unique.

When other people see her at this moment, they will say things like "You are so pretty" or "You are really pretty".

But Shang Wanjun didn't like it and thought it was superficial.

But Xu Lin is different.

"Mao Qiangliji is a beauty that is so great that fish dive deep when they see her, birds fly high when they see her, and deer flock to her when they see her."

Li Ji is Xi Shi, and also refers to a great beauty.

This sentence is a high compliment to a beauty, a beauty who can be so beautiful that it can startle the fish in the river, the birds in the sky and the elk in the forest. A real fairy is no more than this.

However, this is Zhuangzi's literature, exaggerated and romantic.

The romance described by Zhuangzi cannot be matched even by Cao Zhi and Li Bai thousands of years later.

Shang Wanjun smiled and said, "It seems you have read the book seriously. This sentence comes from Zhuangzi's Qiwu Lun."

At this moment, Xu Lin's train of thought matched hers, and she also matched Xu Lin's response.

But Xu Lin suddenly said, "She is very beautiful, and she is totally different from everyone else. Everyone around her was shocked."

You are so beautiful, standing out from the crowd, shocking everyone around you.

That was exactly what happened at the scene, with many people's eyes on Shang Wanjun.

"Where is this sentence from?"

Shang Wanjun finally lost to Xu Lin, and Xu Lin defeated her.

She knew that this came from an article, not three idioms.

"Book of the Later Han."
