However, he said that on the second day, he got up in the morning, greeted Mrs. Tai and had breakfast, so he invited a clean room, personally swept the case and burned incense, changed clothes and bathed, first calmly studied a large vat of ink, and then took a small inkstone, and re-studied the ink for transcription. Before putting down the pen, he silently recited the "Heart Sutra" twice, and then solemnly put down the pen, but it was a copy of the "Lotus Sutra" and a volume of "Rulai Shou Liangpin".

Copy one page of the chapter, one page of songs, and before each page is copied, the Heart Sutra must be recited again. This yellow elephant came to look for his cousin, and when he saw him like this, he hurriedly told his grandmother, Mrs. Zhang, to go, and said, "There is no brazier in that house, and it is not next to the dragon fire wall, so I don't usually use it, how can it be good to freeze my cousin?"

Before he could say a word, Mrs. Zhang had already covered his mouth and recited it three times: "Tong Yan Wuji is blowing away!" and then took the yellow elephant in her arms and said, "My son, why do you do it so loudly? Beware of the Bodhisattva who hears the blame." Your brother is a sincere gentleman, and he earnestly copied the scriptures for your grandfather to ask for blessings, but he can't stand your shouting. ”

Huang Xiang only said: "The son is silent, the strange power is confused, doesn't the gentleman want to worship the gods and stay away?"

Mrs. Zhang said: "But you also know that God is like God. Don't make a fuss, let your brother finish his work. He also ordered to send his daughter-in-law who was in charge of the small kitchen to come, and instructed: "In the past few days, I will make a copy with the young master Hui, and I don't have to be clean, just be refreshing and clean." The tea and fruits are carefully prepared during the day, and the taste is five points lighter than usual. ”

Huang Xiang asked again: "What should I do if it's cold in the house?"

Mrs. Zhang smiled and said, "I don't say anything on weekdays, but when I meet your cousin of the Zhang family, I talk a lot?" and then told him in detail: "How cold is it in that house? After your father told me yesterday, he asked someone to clean it up." Although he copied the scriptures, he didn't live in it all day, what should he do, and those mothers-in-law and subordinates still have to talk more? Besides, your brother is not the kind of papier-mâché man who can't wait for the wind to blow and rain, his body and bones are good, and he knows everything in his own heart, so it's okay to be cold at this point. You used to go out with your father a lot, and now you should study and go to school, but you don't know what is going on in the Gongyuan? If you can't even survive this, then you don't have to go this way anymore. ”

Huang Xiang was relieved, said goodbye to his grandmother, turned around and ran towards Zhanghui. Mrs. Zhang couldn't help but laugh, first asked the people who followed her to chase after her, Mo fell and touched it, and then turned her head to Lin Ruhai, who was sitting on the side, and said: "Isn't it interesting to think that one thing in the world is descended from one thing, and there are people like a kid who usually cherish words like a golden-faced iron plate, and there is a brother who can make a good noise and annoyance every time." ”

Lin Ruhai said with a smile: "My nephew is cold and hot, meticulous and meticulous, and he is always a blessing for my aunt and cousin." And I don't have to worry about learning, I saw a few words from my cousin the day before yesterday, and I have a great sense of sincerity and pragmatism. ”

Mrs. Zhang smiled: "You don't know him, he's not good at writing." It's just a clear organization, it's just a whole 'there are bones but no flesh'. If there are three points of literary brilliance, nine out of ten is that he goes back to his cousin to help polish it. His father used to joke with me, saying that he was plain and thin, and his brothers' articles were the best footnotes—although they didn't end there, they were a headache in the end. ”

Lin Ruhai said: "My nephew is still young, so I don't have to worry about anything. Just slowly overcome the paranoia that is simple and simple. You can read about Wangzao. ”

Mrs. Zhang pondered for a while, nodded and said: "Wangfuxi's four or six are the best, Hong Li is profound, and he is brilliant in the world. The poems are also fresh and insightful, and the interest is far-reaching. The boys read it just right. Looking at Lin Ruhai, he said: "It is worthy of being a flower tan, and his knowledge is extraordinary." ”

Lin Ruhai hurriedly said a few words of humility, and said: "If those articles are from the hands of Zhang Hui, the meaning is different. I don't know what books he likes to read and what sentences he does?"

Mrs. Zhang didn't answer first, her eyes looked Lin Ruhai up and down, and then she smiled slowly: "I don't usually ask them about the villain's family. I just listened to his uncle, among the famous figures in the past family, he has a preference for his uncle, and has several songs "Huanxi Sha" and "Magpie Stepping on Branches". However, in the end, he is only a teenager, and he is not one step or two steps away from Da Yan's demeanor. ”

Lin Ruhai said with a smile: "Yan Shu is affectionate and beautiful, and it is not easy for young people to get one or two points of leisure." If he really learns the true essence form, isn't it his natural talent?"

As he spoke, Lin Ruhai asked Mrs. Zhang again for specific words. Mrs. Tai talked to him one by one, and the two discussed the rhetoric in detail. Mrs. Tai called to pick up the daily homework of this generation in the family, and also criticized, commented, and tasted, but she was also very comfortable and happy, and she couldn't finish talking about it at dinner time. When Mrs. Wang heard the letter, she hurriedly invited Huang Xing to say: "Not only at this moment, it is important to maintain each other." "The two aunts and nephews just dispersed.

Mrs. Zhang ordered to take the booklet of the discussion between the two of them during the day to Huang Xing, and said, "You can also take a look." The good and the bad are all here, but it's time to ask all the things in the ethnography carefully. The second child is a literati and popular, and he is used to being idle and sparse, and some things are not good in the end. ”

Huang Xing read the booklet and said busily: "Mother is attentive, and son knows it." Just find a time to talk to the second brother. The mother and son talked to each other again, and then they went back to the house to rest and not mention it.

In the next two days, Mrs. Zhang still invited Lin Ruhai to talk about poetry and comment on the juniors' homework when she was free. The congratulatory gifts and other things with Zhang Wang, the father of Zhang Hui, are also comprehensive, and the steward Yang Zhenglin and coach Zhang Meng went to the inner courtyard to plead and ask for departure. Here, Lin Ruhai ordered someone to return to Yangzhou early, and several congratulatory gifts taken by the fast horse were handed over to Yang and Zhang, and sent to Changzhou with Shangshufu. And the scriptures of Zhanghui were also copied and completed, and they were neatly packed in a square box of small leaf red sandalwood, and Huang Xing took them to the mansion of Shaokun, the king of Zhongxianbo. After four or five days of waiting, Zhang Hui said goodbye to his aunt and grandmother Mrs. Zhang and his uncle Huang Xing, and took a car to Qinhuai Wharf, preparing to go to his home in Changzhou by canal and waterway.

When he arrived at the dock, Yang Zhenglin, the steward of Shangshu Mansion, took a step forward and instructed the hired boatman to say a few words. This boat is also familiar with his house, and when he saw such a grand formation, he already knew it in his heart, and he was busy responding to it one by one. Here Zhang Hui watched the little scholar Jinbao greet the boatman and place his belongings from the carriage to the cabin - in fact, there are not many: a few clothes, a set of pen and ink, a box of books, and a sturdy plain cloth bag. On the contrary, there are a lot of bits and pieces that Jinbao has received or won from the Huang family's child servants in Shangshu Mansion these days, such as food, clothes, purses, whistles, mouth strings, bamboo dragonflies, nine rings, purple clay figures, glass bullet beads, and magnifying glasses with brass handles...... It has everything, and it's like opening a grocery store. Zhang Hui couldn't help but smile and said: "Your trip is like a bandit robbery and locusts crossing the border, but you can trap a lot of people in that mansion?"

Jinbao immediately replied: "What's the matter! I won't get them copper and silver horns." It's just a few things that you don't usually need to eat. And then there are those clever little things, they don't like to play, it's a pity to put it in vain, it's better for me to take it, it's also 'the owner of the thing, can be used' the truth. He nodded his head a few times.

Zhang Hui clapped his hands and smiled: "It's so good, it's only been a few days, and it's so clever." Sure enough, my eldest uncle's house has the best feng shui, and he also raises people well. When I went out, I was in a hurry, and I thanked for it, but I left this matter behind. Uncle Yang went back to help me bring a thank you to my uncle again. ”

Yang Zhenglin saw them joking, and hurriedly smiled and said, "This Xie naturally brought it." However, the little brother of Jinbao is like a master, he is naturally smart and clever, he learns everything quickly, and he knows ten things, but it is not comparable to those who are stupid and stupid in our house. ”

Zhang replied: "Uncle Yang laughed again, praising this kid ashamed, his face was as red as a monkey's buttocks." Then thanked Yang Zhenglin for his affection, said a few more words, and then took Jinbao on the boat together. The boatman collected the sampan, loosened the mooring, and set sail for Changzhou.

This treasure was bought by chance when Zhang Hui was studying, and it took more than a year to stay by his side as a scholar's companion, and he has not left Nanjing. This time I returned home with the chapter and got into the boat, and I was very happy with the novelty, looking here and there, and gossiping with the boat boy, and I couldn't stop for a moment. He also said bluntly: "But I want to go back to my home in Changzhou, it's this boat! I don't know how fast it is? Yes, like the young master said that the boat is the most tricky in the water, and it is good to measure the wind and water, which is a hundred times stronger than the water tank in the back garden of Nafuli." ”

Zhang Hui sat in the cabin and scolded with a smile: "This little monkey has appeared again! He also measured the wind and water, and when he built a house and built a wall, he looked at the ground? After a while, he went to the canal and made endless trouble, so he was careful to fall into the water and be eaten by a big fish." ”

Jinbao stuck out his tongue, slipped out of the smoke, and squatted with the boat boy to watch the boat. As soon as he looked up, there was a sudden chaos on the shore, and the people dodged to the left and right, and then a mule cart rushed straight over. Jinbao recognized the human form and hurriedly shouted: "Oh, Xianggong, look! Is that not Xie Xianggong?

Zhang Hui said suspiciously: "I don't know." What is he doing here?" he got up and looked out of the cabin. At this time, the mule cart had reached the stone steps in front of the shore, Xie Kai jumped off the car, wiped a purse from his waist and threw it to the driver who drove the car, and then raised his head and shouted at the boatman here: "Don't untie the rope first, let the sampan come! Wait for me to go up and start the boat!" As he spoke, he had already lifted his robe, and he looked like the boatman was about to jump up if he was a little slower.

The boatman was busy reading the chapter back with his eyes. Zhang Hui knew that something was wrong, so he nodded to the boatman surnamed Shui and said, "Take him." Xie Kai lightly and skillfully stepped onto the boat, and as soon as he turned around, he drilled into the cabin, and said: "Open the boat!"

Zhang Hui hurriedly said to the boatman, "Brother Shui, don't start yet." He followed him to the cabin, buckled Xie Kai's shoulder, and asked, "What do you say?"

Xie Kai only smiled and said, "What are you talking about? Knowing Huai Yingzun's long birthday, he naturally wants to congratulate him." Classmates have been classmates for a few years, don't you even have this affection?"

Zhang Hui saw that although he was smiling and talking, his eyes were wandering left and right, and his eyes were a little depressed. I was suspicious in my heart, but I couldn't help but say: "Naturally, I have this feeling." It's just that you're too scary. I didn't even know anything about it beforehand, or I didn't say hello. Then he opened it on the pier and asked, "Why didn't Ah Fu come with you? Where are the other boys?"

Xie Kai said: "How can you bring those child servants to pay homage to the elders? Turning to the side to enter the treasure, he said: "I have to be partial to you along the way, here I will give a salute first." ”

Jin Bao hurriedly dodged behind Zhang Hui, and said, "You can't thank Xianggong for his courtesy." And I'm not Ah Fu, and I don't know how to serve. ”

Xie Kai smiled: "How do you serve your father-in-law, just treat me the same." ”

Zhang Hui saw that the two of them were talking about going and coming, so he had to interject and ask: "Qizhuang is slow." I'm going home, and I'm going to go home, and I'm going to tell the gentlemen that I'll be back this autumn at the earliest. ”

Xie Kai nodded and said, "I know." That's why I'm chasing after me. Not only congratulate your family on their birthday, but also recognize Huaiying's family, and the love of our classmates for several years. ”

Zhang Hui couldn't cry or laugh when he heard it, and said, "Why did I listen to what you said, and there was a sin of not saying goodbye?" I'll listen to you what you say. Xiang Xiang said, "Brother Shui, let's start the boat!" turned back to Xie Kai and said, "Sit first." The cabin is cramped, and if you are stuffy, you might as well support the window. It's just that the hand stove will have to wait a moment to get it, so you can bear with it for a while. ”

Xie Kai saw Zhang's response, and his face was already relaxed. Hearing his words at this moment, he was immediately happy and said with a smile: "When you go out, who cares about those who are exquisite." I'm not that delicate. Having said that, seeing that the boat lady outside the cabin door brought a big brass water hanger, handed it to Jinbao, and Jinbao took the chapter back to his own tea set to make a slushy tea, and then sent it to the small table in the cabin with two colors of snacks, and immediately showed joy and said, "It's just right." I didn't have much breakfast, Huaiying, can we come along?"

Zhang Hui smiled and only waved his hand casually. Xie Kai didn't see any outside, so he ate and drank after a snack. At one time, the ship went down the river to the east, left the wharf, and went to Yanling Guyi and Changzhou famous cities.
