Chapter 101: Jiangnan is full of talents
Shen Rongzheng, the eldest son of the contemporary Confucian Shen Xuezhang, the nephew of Dugu Ling's grandmother, is not confused when he is near, and his official residence is four.
"The little nephew is fine, thank you for your generosity. Tomorrow, my father will hold a banquet in the Lingfeng Pavilion of Siqing Mountain, and I hope that the prince will appreciate the light. ”
After Shen Rongzheng finished speaking, an entourage behind him stepped forward and respectfully handed over an invitation. The short and fat guard who looked a little cheeky took it and handed it to Yang Zhen with both hands.
Yang Zhen opened it and glanced at it, and then handed it to him.
"Shen Lao's banquet, this king must go to the banquet. ”
Shen Xuezhang two generations of emperors, proficient in Confucian and Taoist culture, embraced hundreds of schools, integrated into one, self-contained, highly respected by the first emperors and today. When Yang Zhen was young, Shen Xuezhang was invited by the current saint to lecture in Guozijian for three years. He was fortunate enough to listen to it, and he felt that he benefited a lot.
"Thank you, Lord Wang. ”
Shen Rongzheng turned his horse's head, as suddenly as he came, and led everyone to leave. It's just that this time there are three more people in the team.
"Lord Wang, you shouldn't just let them go. The short and fat guard walked up to Yang Zhen and sighed at the team that had turned into a few black dots in the distance.
Yang Zhen stood on a piece of ruins and said lightly: "What if you don't let it go?"
Is it true that you really want to fight to the death of a fish? That is Yuwen Yi's daughter, Yuwen Zhihong's own sister, and a benefactor who once saved his life in northern Xinjiang. Do you really want to kill her? Close your eyes and ask yourself. No, he didn't want to, he didn't want to hurt her anyway, and the thought of his sword stained with her blood made him uncontrollable fear, fear. But she's so disobedient, really too disobedient.
"You're too soft-hearted, that's what happened just now. Directly kill and push it to the Jiangnan bandits, and General Yuwen will not talk nonsense. What's more, she also knew about Miss Yao, in case she sued others. Our multi-year plan didn't come to naught. Lord, the one who has achieved great things ......"
"Let the king think again. Yang Zhen sighed and stopped him from continuing, leaving alone and moving forward slowly. On the side of the road, the newly sprouted branches and leaves could not understand the pain of pedestrians, and they swaggered their new life.
When Shen Xuezhang was young, he was quite a bit of Taoism, advocating the saying that "Confucianism and Taoism are a family, and the heart of the law is natural", and often talked about the world with Sanwu Tonghaoxuan. After Zhishi, he germinated the idea of returning to the mountains and forests. A year after the death of his wife, he simply moved to the courtyard of Siqing Mountain, with plants and trees as companions, and flowers and birds as friends. Occasionally, it rises, or sets up a banquet to invite friends, or visits the mountains and rivers. I feel that half a lifetime has been immersed in mundane affairs, wasting time, and I am young and crazy.
Shen Rongzheng took them to see Siqing Mountain from afar, and the thick green mountain was undulating. Turning his head to Dugu Ling, he said: "Your grandfather heard that you are in Jiangnan, but he will see him in the future, and he is angry, so you don't have to go to see him alone." Come with me tomorrow, and make up for your encounter. ”
Dugu Ling is the only seedling of the Dugu family, and lived with his grandmother in Jiangnan for a period of time when he was a child. Young is not only intelligent, but also diligent and hardworking. There is no condescending atmosphere of the children of the current family. It is very clear that Shen Xuezhang is blue-eyed. specially worshipped the famous "Cold Fishing Weng" in Jiangnan Wulin as a teacher for him.
On the way, Shen Rongzheng had already learned about Dugu Ling's injury from Yuwen Yanshu's mouth. It's distress and annoyance. I feel sorry for him for suffering a great crime this time, and I am angry that he is reckless, which harms himself and his family.
"Yes. Dugu Ling said.
With Shen Gong's temper, he learned that he was trapped by love, and he was also inconsiderate. I don't know if it's because I've been a master for many years, he is much stricter than Duguye in educating his children.
After entering the city, he didn't get off the horse and went straight to the Shen Mansion.
"Brother. ”
Before Dugu Ling got off the horse, he heard a cry, and a goose-yellow figure rushed over from inside the door, and Dugu Ling wiped her tears and took Dugu Ling's hand and cried sadly.
"I've been here for more than ten days, and I didn't tell you before, I just wanted to surprise you. Shen Rongzheng explained while letting people lead the horse away.
"I received Shu'er's letter, and I hurried over overnight. But when I arrived in Jiangnan, I didn't know where to look for you, so I had to live with my uncle first, and bothered my uncle and aunt to inquire about your news, which tired my uncle and aunt for a few days. ”
"You kid, where do you say, isn't our family your own home, and you are polite to us. Shen Rongzheng's wife, He Wanyu, took a step slower, just listened to these words, and blamed her for being too foreign.
He Wanyu is petite, has a long face, and has a slightly yellow complexion, but she is better than being moist and smooth, smiling before speaking, and her voice is like a silver bell in the wind, crisp and pleasant.
Shen Rongzheng went back to the room to change clothes, and He Wanyu led them to Shuangyan Hall and ordered his subordinates to serve tea. He also sent someone to fetch back the sons and girls who were studying in the school.
"I'm not afraid of your jokes, you brothers, you have been very naughty since you were a child, and you don't want to be careful in business, but fortunately, their grandfather is detained, and they have to take the school exam every month and a half, so they didn't pull down their schoolwork. You sisters too, girls from families, don't love female workers needlework, to talk about words, alas. It's still good, the last time I saw her embroidered purse, the needle and thread really didn't have to pick. ”
Dugu Yan's needlework is good, Yuwen Yanshu lowered his head to support his forehead, and the corners of his mouth twitched. With her little ability, embroidering a mandarin duck like a sparrow, embroidering a peony like a dandelion with a light rod. What kind of eyes does Mrs. Shen have to praise such craftsmanship?
Dugu Ling picked up the teacup and pretended to drink tea, her sister's talent in female workers is really embarrassing, even if she is a sister control, she doesn't dare to take it.
"Hey, I heard a report from someone, you still have a friend, why didn't you see it?"
He had something to do for the time being, and left first. Dugu Ling said.
Halfway through, Qiu Chaoyang was sure that they would be fine, so he said goodbye to them. said that there was an urgent matter, and he wanted to go back to the Ethereal Palace. Yuwen Yanshu saw that he looked in a hurry, and he didn't seem to be faking, so he exchanged contact information and did not force him to stay.
Soon, the sound of laughter and shouting was heard outside the house, and the curtain of the door was opened, and four girls, the eldest was fifteen or sixteen years old, and the youngest was only seven or eight years old.
The youngest girl looked around and clapped her hands with a smile: "Haha, we arrived first, they lost." ”
The other three girls, older ones, saw the presence of an adult man, pursed their lips and smiled, but did not answer.
Yuwen Yanshu looked at it one by one, the first little girl to come, combed with flower buds, round head and round face, innocent; the second came in was the oldest girl, tall, eyes waves, dressed the most dazzling; the third girl who came in, gentle and bland, calm and wooden; the last girl who came in was the best-looking, goose egg face, clear eyes, the corners of the eyes flew slightly, eyebrows like distant mountains and green daisies, red lips without dots, shaved shoulders and bee waist, slender figure.
"It's not like that. Mrs. Shen scolded her youngest daughter with a smile: "Don't come and see your Dugu brother and Yuwen sister soon." ”
"Brother Dugu is good, Sister Yuwen is good. The little girl smiled and gave them a salute, the etiquette is standard, although the girl of the Shen family is pampered, the etiquette must be good.
"This is my daughter Shen Cixun, this is your second uncle's daughter Shen Cike, this is the third uncle's second daughter Shen Cixuan, and this is Ah Xun's sister Shen Cixiu. ”
He Wanyu pointed them out one by one, and everyone saw each other. Settling down in order, the curtain was lifted again, and this time three teenagers of the same age entered.
These three teenagers came in in a proper manner, and followed He Wanyu, Yuwen Yanshu, and Dugu Ling to see each other.
Shen Cixun grimaced at one of the teenagers and shaved his face to shame him. Not to be outdone, the young man squeezed his eyebrows at her and pretended to be all kinds of weird.
"Ah Liang. He Wanyu looked at the second son's actions with a smile.
"Mother. Shen Haoliang immediately stood up and stopped messing around with his sister.
Shen Cixun, who won the victory with the help of his mother, was very proud, and pulled Yuwen Yanshu to introduce her to her brothers.
"My sixth brother, it's bad, it's not a good person, don't get close to him. Shen Cixun smiled evilly at his own brother, the boys are ranked in the order of the clan.
"This is my third brother, my second uncle's family, don't look at him and don't like to talk, he is Xie Yuan who we were here last year, and his knowledge is good, even his grandfather praised him. Shen Hao smiled shyly.
"This is the seventh brother of the third uncle's family, he loves to dance with knives and guns, and he has not changed how many times he has been beaten by the third uncle. Shen Cixun whispered in Yuwen Yanshu's ear.
Yuwen Yanshu looked at this young man, but he was really different from those two, with a tiger head, slightly dark skin, and a tough body, and he looked relatively strong.
There are other brothers and sisters, some of whom have already received errands or are married, and who are unable to come, and some who are too young to be taken care of by their nurses.
"Why didn't Gongzi Qin come?" Shen Cike whispered softly as he pouted Mingzhu's ears.
He Wanyu was hesitant, in front of her relatives, she cared about the whereabouts of a foreign man, and the second brother and sister were still the same, and they didn't care about her, they were really getting more and more confused.
"He went back to his house for something. Shen Haobi explained.
Qin Yong, a student attached to Shen's school, was the same year as Shen Hao. The family is poor, and the widowed mother depends on each other. Last year, he was out of the field at the same time as Shen Haobi and won the second place in the exam. Shen Rongzheng thought that he was a malleable talent, and made an exception for him to study at the Shen family.
"Jiangnan is a beautiful place for Zhong Lingyu, with outstanding people and talents. ”
The garden of the Shen family is elegant and beautiful, with rockeries stacked on top of each other, and winding water around the pavilion. Yuwen Yanshu and Dugu Hui came out of Shuangyan Hall under the pretext of visiting the garden, accompanied by the four fangs of the Shen family.
"But no, from ancient times to the present, how many literati and artists have been produced in Jiangnan, grandpa said that the aura of heaven and earth has ten points, and Jiangnan has eight points. ”
Shen Cike's smile was bright and bright, and Yuwen Yanshu couldn't help but look a little more. Listening to Dugu Cheng, she was born from the second uncle's concubine, but judging by her demeanor, she is more conspicuous than Shen Cixun and Shen Cijiao's two daughters.
A few people looked at the literati in Jiangnan and commented on it. There is a sentence of self-humility that Mrs. Shen said, the girls of the Shen family like to talk about words. Speaking of words, poems and songs, allusions to current affairs, are at your fingertips.
Let Yuwen Yanshu and Dugu Cheng be embarrassed, and only dare to say a word in their stomachs a few times, and search their intestines and scrape their stomachs to polish and beautify them. (To be continued.) )
