When I arrived at the main hall of the reception in this chapter, I heard a burst of laughter from the first chapter: "Good, good, good! Promote literature, establish martial arts, and cultivate internal affairs, and be more elegant and tolerant, benevolent and undoubted, and can do all four, and there are only a few in three generations, and how can they dare to judge them when they rely on the battle of the water! The reply was, "Not necessarily ignorant, but unwilling to know." So he opened his mouth and closed his mouth tirelessly, saying that benevolence must add sarcasm to women, and that he would dare to feel at ease when he showed that he was superior to his superiority and sincerity. ”

When Zhang Hui heard these remarks, he no longer had any doubts, and knew that Jiang Ping must have arrived. The first admired figure in the life of Jiang Ping and Jiang Tan is the Qin King Fu Jian, who exchanged letters with himself in the past few years, and rarely did not mention the former Qin, the characters were counted one by one, and the stories were judged one by one, which was really benevolent and open-minded, and really lived up to its name. So he also applauded and smiled: "The degree of Emperor Fu Jian, the style of a gentleman of Tan, really complement each other, wonderful!"

I saw a young man standing up on the guest seat, twenty and a half years old, described as magnificent, free and easy, with deep eyebrows and deep eyes, looking forward to shining people, so that the person who saw it suddenly felt bright. Zhang Hui couldn't help but be stunned.

Jiang Tanzhi over there also saw Zhang Hui early, and praised Junshuang in his heart, and laughed: "Huai Jin holds Yu, Yinghua Yangyang, worthy of his name, Dajia Dajia!" The two shook hands, and looked at each other carefully, the more they looked at each other, the more they looked at each other, the more they felt friendly, and they laughed together.

Zhang Li, who could see the sitting above, was dumbfounded, and immediately raised his forehead with his hand, and scolded with a smile: "Two stupid boys!

The two of them are serious. Zhang Hui saluted Zhang Li again and replied: "Thank you for the second master for entertaining distant guests for me." ”

Zhang Li said with a smile: "The ancients said 'pouring cover is like the past', Jiang Xiaoyou is not bad, I will naturally entertain you." Knowing that the two of them have known each other for many years, but it is the first time they have really met, there must be many things to say, wave their hands and let the two go, only say: "The journey of Tan is hard, and I will send a meal of wine today, and wait for the Ming Dynasty to come and have a good time." ”

Zhang Huifang came out with Jiang Ping. Before he could ask, Jiang Ping smiled and explained the situation one by one: the Tao is that he and his wife Wu and cousin Shou Yanniang got up and went to Beijing after the Lap Festival, and the water traveled for 6 days and nights. Fortunately, when the boat was parked halfway, he met Hong Da and his party, and the two families cooperated together, although there was a lot of excitement on the way for the New Year. To this day, abandoning the ship and changing the car, and entering Beijing, Hong Da was unwilling to tell him and his wife not to vote for relatives and friends, and immediately went to the Wenzhao Mansion. In the end, Zhang Chai first took over the two families and introduced Zhang Kui, and after a while, Zhang Li heard that he came to meet in person, and as a result, he said speculatively with Jiang Ping, and asked Zhang Chai and Hong Da to lead everyone to settle first, leaving him to talk and have fun. Wu's, Shou Yanniang and other female dependents had their own Zhang Chai's wife, Gan's, Zhang Kui's wife, Yin's and others, and led them to Chen's place.

Jiang Pingyin said with a smile: "The second master is a true lover, treats the kid like an equal, and is upright and upright, and has nothing to say." I've only heard of the name before, and I never imagined it so bold. Celebrities and celebrities are not restricted, it can be seen that it is!" - he praised the sincerity, but he didn't expect that Zhang Li first knew that Hong Da was the nephew of the Hong family, and that Gu Tang's family was used to walking around, and Wu Taijun was no different from his own descendants; second, he knew that Hong Da had set the daughter of the Zhuji Shou family as his wife, and the eldest sister was the media, and he was going to get married in the summer and autumn of this year, so the Zhuji Shou family and the Yongkang Jiang family were all in-laws; the third knew that Jiang Ping and Jiang Tanzhi were Zhang Hui Wenyou, and in recent years, they have been highly praised and praised. Zhang Li didn't know where Zhang Hui was humble and casual on his face, kind to everyone, the most arrogant in his bones, and rarely convinced people, how could he not be curious when he heard Zhang Hui say that there was such a person?

Zhang Hui said with a smile: "The second uncle has always loved Wei and Jin, and he likes to have someone to sing peace with him." That is, today's frankness. For others, I have never seen the second uncle treat each other like this in these years, let alone so happy. Then he nodded and sighed with a smile: "I know Tan Zhicai, but it's a pity that others don't know much." But this time, if you come to Beijing, you must not be able to come to Beijing in March, and everyone in the world will know your name!"

I didn't want Jiang Ping to nod and said, "But it's not, if it's not for this, why bother to come here this time." ”

Zhang Hui was stunned for a moment, and hurriedly said: "I was also about to ask you, why did you suddenly decide to go to Beijing to try?"

Jiang Ping said: "You also know that I have never paid much attention to the imperial examination. I don't want to make a living from this at home. Besides, it was already very cheap to walk everywhere when I took people that year, and who was willing to waste time doing those untrue articles. It's just that I think like this in my own family, and I don't think like this inside and outside the clan. It was okay four or five years earlier, but my generation read less, and no one came to break his mouth. In the past two years of study, some people can't be idle, and they often talk in a few words in front of their eyes. ”

When Zhang Hui heard this, there was nothing he didn't understand. Laughing: "It's just a buzzing of flies." Tanzhi doesn't care about this. Also these people are boring tight. ”

Jiang Ping smiled: "It's really boring. It's just that mosquitoes, flies, and ants are small, and buzzing is also annoying. And it is surrounded by an ancestral hall, and everything must be left with some strength, otherwise the old people will not look good. Besides, if there are too many of them, you have to worry about parrying them. Stretched out his hand to Zhang Hui and compared four fingers, flipped it twice, and sighed: "This number must be seen in the year." I was impatient and deliberately avoided it, but Ah Wu said to me, 'I know you don't care about those names, but someone cares.' And there is a stupid person who must see the name before admitting his ability, first respecting Luo Yi and then respecting others. It's better to occasionally follow the will of the mediocrities in the world, and save a lot of trouble in the future. I thought about it, and sure enough, it was all over again. Immediately packed up his things with Ah Wu and went to the capital. ”

Zhang Hui couldn't help but smile and said: "Resolute and resolute, there is no one who is too frank and sister-in-law." I thought that Jiang Ping's temperament was no longer free and uninhibited, and he was more clear-minded and strong-willed, where was some gossip that could easily be annoyed and driven? Sure enough, those who start a family are different from those who walk alone, and the world is like this, even if Jiang Tanzhi is so open-minded, there is no difference. Suddenly, I thought of Jiang Ping's wife Wu, it is said that she is a famous talented woman in Yongkang and Jinhua, and there are people who have just said Jiang Tanzhi's words, not to mention Wencai and the like, her mind is very extraordinary, and she is deeply in line with Jiang Ping.

He was distracted here, and his face was not hidden, how could Jiang Ping, a talented and intelligent person, not see the meaning of that layer of funny banter? He only coughed and said, "Huaiying is also engaged, I just see that you will not follow the law of the Lin family's younger brothers and sisters when the time comes." Both of them laughed again.

Then he continued to the Chen courtyard behind. Zhang Hui couldn't help asking: "Why did the girl of the Shou family come with you?" It's not for anything else, I'm afraid that Shan Ah Da is so happy that it is indispensable, and my grandmother's family will not ask." However, there are some troubles of mediocrities in the world, and if you ask in advance, you can also help block it. ”

Jiang Ping said with a smile: "I told you all about her family's idea." Although the big event is decided, it is always embarrassing at home, so I simply asked Ah Wu to invite us to play and walk, just to relax. My aunt and cousin discussed writing a letter to Yunnan and asking my eldest cousin to preside over the marriage. We wandered all the way back to Yongkang, and the letter from my cousin and aunt also arrived, saying that the eldest cousin had been outstanding for two years, and the imperial court had a life to be promoted, and he would come to Beijing in March after the year to listen to it. Yuan was also worried that the two hours were in a hurry, and things were in a hurry. Now they are all coming to Beijing, but they are one and the same. ”

Zhang Hui nodded: "This is really a coincidence." "I thought that Shou Yanniang had experienced ups and downs, and her parents were partial to her younger sister, although she had grandmother Mrs. Jiang and her aunt Shou Lin who was righteous, acted in a clear family style, and made a marriage contract with Hong Da, but in the end she wanted to marry from the Shou family. Although her parents were punished for their own mistakes, they always had a reason for her, and they were afraid that the relationship between father and daughter, mother and daughter would be thin, and most of them would be embarrassed on the day they left the cabinet; So he sighed: "Ah Da is really lucky...... and all of them are not well taken care of. ”

Jiang Ping smiled: "Good deeds are rewarded." The sky also has to take care of good people, not to mention those of us in the world?" Thinking of Hong Da's description along the way, he couldn't help but laugh again, and said, "You, the big cousin, are also stupid and stupid. I was able to meet him on the road that day, and I owe him a tendon. He also stood on the bow of the boat himself, and in the night fog he saw a shadow in the fog and shouted--I didn't think it was him, or my cousin heard it. ”

Zhang Hui also smiled: "Ah Da is like this." Luckily, our own family knows about it. As long as our own family knows. Jiang Ping nodded yes.

I went to Chen's room for a while. Zhang Hui quoted Jiang Ping Yili to see it. There are also Yin and Wang, and Jiang Ping also visited, and the two of them each had a gift. Chen Shifang said to Jiang Ping: "The second master has already made someone say it, and the sect will definitely keep you to live." One is not an outsider, and the other is that Ah Da originally came to stand for his uncle and aunt, and the third is that two of my family are young and don't go out, so they expect to catch an old and stable person to help sharpen their guns. If you have struck it, you will not let it go. The people in your family have told me to detain me, what do you say?"

Jiang Ping hurriedly bowed down and said with a smile: "Naturally, listen to my wife's orders, dare not to serve? Don't boast about anything else, stand out under the dragon gate, you must be able to bluff others with you." ”

Chen Shi was slightly stunned, then shook his body with laughter, pointed at Zhang Hui and gritted his teeth: "Sure enough, it's yours." only to praise the steady, and immediately flick his tail and play slippery - and take it, and take it, everyone is in Guihua Garden. Zhang Hui just scratched his head. Everyone in the room laughed. The two of them quit at this time, and Zhang Hui led them straight to Guihua Garden.

Originally, this Guihua Garden is a special guest house, just in the northwest of the Gongfu, there are many kinds of osmanthus in the garden, in addition to the cold in the middle of winter, the fragrance of flowers in the four seasons continues, so it has this name. There are always about 20 exquisite houses in it. Entering the garden, Jiang Ping only glanced at it, and then said, "Wonderful!" Then in the room, seeing that his wife Wu had placed the accompanying things properly, the more happy he became, he hurriedly asked Zhang Hui to lead, and thanked Zhang Chai's wife Gan through the curtain. Gan returned the salute, said a few more words to Wu, and then went out on his own. Then Jiang Fang led Zhang back to meet Wu.

After the Wu family was Jiahang Eunmen, his grandfather Wu Hong served as Shuntianfu, and his father Wu Dufei was an official to Hubu Langzhong. Wu is Wu Dufei's old daughter, because of the day of birth Yongkang old house in front of the street and back alley pear blossoms suddenly competed, the sunset reflected in the colorful fall of the Ying dyed Chixia, Wu Dufei and named Jiangxue, since childhood not to wait for leisure upbringing. and elders, with his brother and classmates, compared the two classics of "Poems" and "Books", and compared the insights of "Spring and Autumn", all of which won greatly, and since then there have been talents and fame. At that time, Jiang Ping's father was worried about Jiang Ping's repeated bad marriage schemes, and he said that he would not marry if he was not peerless, and when he heard the name of the Wu family, he immediately asked for him to marry. I don't want Wu Dufei to love this daughter, he chooses his son-in-law the strictest, and he doesn't care about worldly knowledge, and he personally evaluates it for four or five years before Jiang Ping relents and agrees to get married. Fortunately, Jiang Ping and Wu's deed, and the husband and wife were harmonious after marriage, and none of them were bad.

Zhang Hui and Jiang Ping have a deep friendship, knowing that Jiang Ping loves his wife, and he has long heard of the Wu family's fame, and the young man's temperament, he can't help but have a lot of conjectures about him, imagining what a beautiful woman teaches his friends to admire and think about it for several years. Seeing the real person this time, the woman is not tall, the body is plump, although the eyes are only flat, but very gentle and amiable; after a few words, I feel that my eyebrows are soothed, and I am always smiling, and I naturally have a relaxed and peaceful atmosphere, and even the surrounding life is calm. Looking at Jiang Ping on the side again, his expression seemed to be triumphant, and Zhang Hui was happy for him on the one hand, and he couldn't help but laugh secretly on the other. I also thought that when Sister Ruolin saw the Wu family, she would definitely be able to get along. It's just that it's late today, and it's the fatigue of going out to celebrate the New Year, so I can't introduce it immediately. Fortunately, his husband and wife have already lived at home, but there is no chance of meeting.

When he was young, Hong Da also came here. After the two cousins met, Zhang Hui put his hand on Hong's shoulder and smiled, "You came just in time." The eldest sister came back to the door today and brought his wine-stuffed dates and golden sand cakes, which were specially designated to be given to you. I have already packed up the treasures, and in two days I will carry them to the south together. Now that you're here, you've saved a lot of effort. ”

Hong Da was excited: "It's just right, but where is it in your house?" - he has always been used to go back to the same room with Zhang - but he didn't say a word, and he knew that he had forgotten his form, so he hurriedly touched his head and smiled: "I can't save my gluttony." The first to rely on her aunt and eldest sister indulged, and those sent by the Enping Marquis Mansion were taught to eat more than half, and she still remembered it when she was tired. He also said: "It's late tonight, and I will pay New Year's greetings to my eldest sister in the Ming Dynasty." Brother Ying'er, you lead me to the door. ”

A few words made Jiang Ping next to him laugh. Wu smiled through the curtain. There was another laugh that was slightly lower and slightly deeper. Zhang Hui was stunned, and was thinking about which maid's daughter-in-law was bold, when he saw Hong Da suddenly red from his face to the tip of his ears. Cha Zhangli and Chen each beat someone to invite them to dinner. Jiang Ping smiled and said, "Let's go, don't make the second master wait for a long time." Ah Wu, you and your cousin also go over, just be lighter, and you don't have to be too restrained in everything. ”

Hong Daxian hurriedly dragged Zhang back and walked out, and when he heard Jiang Ping's next sentence, his pace slowed down involuntarily, and Jiang Ping, who turned his head as if he was looking, blindly glanced in the direction of the curtain inside, causing Zhang Hui to hit him on the shoulder, and then he blushed, hung his head, and stood still. Jiang Ping couldn't recognize such an eyebrow lawsuit, he smiled in his stomach, and just pretended not to know on his face, and pulled Zhang Hui and Hong Da out of the house.

Seeing that the snow powder and snow particles in the sky had turned into snow beads, the little girl on the corridor took the crane and the three people clothed it, and hit a large green silk oil umbrella with several layers of thick to cover the three people. To the gate of the courtyard, there were two small bamboo sedan chairs parked on the door, and the daughter-in-law and mother-in-law who were waiting saw the three of them, and they all saluted together. Hong Da glanced at Zhang Hui, and Zhang Hui said, "You lead the sedan chair to the door of the house." On the road, the soles of the feet were steady. You might as well slow it down. Everyone answered, and the three of them went to the front of the chapter.

In Zhang Li's room, Zhang Kui, Zhang Dou, Zhang Chai, Zhang Yan, Zhang Fen and the charter are all there. Everyone saw it again one by one, and then they took their seats. Zhang Li just urged to eat food and drink. After the wine and dinner, the tea and fruit were served again, and everyone chatted carefully. Just because more than half of the people present have to take the exam, they have to talk about the rules and anecdotes of the subject, and discuss the main examination of the subject and the direction of the court. The conversation was full of fun, and it was very late to disperse. Jiang Ping said goodbye to Zhang Li and others, and Zhang Hui and Hong Da returned to Guihuayuan. Jiang Ping nodded to Zhang Hui and sighed: "It's a shame that I have been reading and writing as usual in the past two years, and I haven't put down my hard work." Otherwise, just look at these brothers in your family, and you should go home immediately, and honestly incubate in Yongkang's hometown for another three years. ”

Zhang Hui smiled: "Tan Zhi's words are modest. No matter how you say it, if you don't have the confidence to have ideas, you won't get a word from your sister-in-law, so you can come to Beijing. He also said, "The window lesson booklet I have made in recent months will be shown to you tomorrow." Then I went to Uncle Lin's side - two words of guidance from him were better than burying my head in twenty or twenty articles. ”

While speaking, he entered the garden gate and came to Jiang Ping's house. The house reported that the Wu family had returned, but Shou Yanniang's grandmother, Mrs. Xiao Jiang, had an old relationship with the Chen family, taught the Chen family to stay in the house and talk, and simply followed a place to sleep that night. Jiang Ping has nothing wrong with it. Leave the chapter back, Hong Da eat a cup of tea and go again. Both of them smiled and said, "It's too late, won't you delay your rest if you stay?" Brother Jiang just cares about himself. Jiang Ping didn't stay anymore and sent the two of them outside the house. The two of them stopped again, and the ginger square turned. Without going into details.

Besides, here Zhang Hui and Hong Da go back to the house. Zhang Hui asked the little maid Jinbao first and took the dim sum brought by Zhang Shumei. Hong laughed and said: "It's a pity to be full, it's a waste to stuff this time again." "In the end, divide it into three parts, please re-wrap it in Jinbao. Zhang replied: "What kind of division is this?" Hong Da replied: "Send one back to the family in Changzhou, and ask the old lady to taste it." I eat one at home. One copy was sent to Cousin Jiang. ”

Zhang Hui smiled: "In this case, both copies should be sent over." ”

Hong Dadao: "You don't know, my cousin and sister-in-law both love sweetness, but they don't dare to eat more, so they naturally want to take it out and share it with others, and it's just right for the three of them to send a copy over." No matter how much it is, it is scruples like this and that, and it is not refreshing to eat. ”

Zhang Hui smiled and nodded, poured tea with Hong Da again, and asked, "You are in a hurry this time, but do you have anything important to do, or do you have something to say at home?"

Hong Dadao: "It's also a coincidence. Do you still remember that there is a Mr. Ma on the counter of my house? His father-in-law's family is in the suburbs of Beijing, and half a month ago, my mother-in-law wrote to my uncle saying that my mother-in-law and old lady were afraid that she would not be able to delay her year, so please go and see him. Whether it was a boat, a carriage or a horse, there were few in the first place, and the old lady saw that he was in a hurry, and there was no one to arrest him all over the world, so she taught me to simply come to Beijing in advance, and by the way, he brought him on the two of them. And if there is anything, it is good to help the old lady on behalf of him. ”

Zhang Hui asked, "How is his family now?"

Hong Dadao: "It's a shame that the road is smooth, and there is no rain or snow, so I have no regrets to catch up with the last ride." It's just that this practice does not delay the New Year, and the aftermath is a bit urgent, and it is inevitable that it will be affected. Mr. Ma is not young anymore, and he is an old man on the counter, saying that if he looks at my big one, he can be counted, and if there is an old lady in front of him, I will help for two days. Finally finished cooking, I was looking at it and rushing to celebrate the New Year with your family, I didn't want to get foggy, the river capsized and blocked the waterway, and I met the Jiang family's boat again. ”

Zhang Hui nodded: "This is the rare word 'coincidence' in the world." He smiled again: "You two groups of people suddenly arrived on the second day of the Lunar New Year, but it scared me a lot, and something big happened." ”

Hong laughed and said, "On the way here, we also said that we were afraid that we would scare you." But I think I have seen the gate of the capital again, and it is a surprise to the left and right, and what is more joyful than the reunion of relatives and friends during the New Year's Festival? As soon as the weather and the road can be walked, I can't wait to leave. Besides, if I come one day earlier, there will be many people watching you a day earlier on all kinds of chores, and you will focus on your studies and exams, and your uncle and aunt will be more at ease. ”

Zhang Hui smiled: "I always have to accept your love." The two cousins gossiped again, and then they went their separate ways.

When I woke up the next day, someone replied: "Miss Lin heard that the young master of the Hong family was here, so she sent someone and something, and asked when it would be convenient to come over and thank you in person." Zhang Hui saw that Hong Dashang was sleeping, and he didn't have time to shout, so he hurriedly dressed and went out. Seeing that it was Dou Yue'er and Zijuan who came, she told the two: "Go back to Miss Lin, my cousin is also my own family, so I don't need to be formal." I'll take it on behalf of my brother first. Later, I also led my cousin and a Jiang Xianggong to Uncle Lin. Please be quiet, girl, and wait for my letter. The two went.

Zhang Hui returned to the house, woke up Hong Da, cleaned up, and went to Guihuayuan to meet Jiang Ping, and then went to Zhang Li and Chen's side. After seeing each other, Chen instructed Zhang to reply: "It's rare for relatives to come from afar, so they should be close." I've already taught your aunt to pick up Miss Lin, and the girls will have fun together. You took the Jiang family boy and Ah Da to meet your uncle and told him to come over too, so you don't have to go to someone else's house to eat and drink. ”

Zhang responded, and said with a smile: "Uncle Lin has been worried about wine for many years, and if you get the words of the second wife, you must come over immediately." I can't say I have another reward. So he went happily, but he didn't want Lin Ruhai to have a few important guests in his mansion-

To know the end, and listen to the following breakdown.
