53. Kyori
Because of listening to Geng Qiu's songs, Ah Hao was very curious about what song Geng Qiu was singing, this kind of tune he had never heard before. You must know that he was also raised by Zhong Mingding's family when he was a child, and he is no stranger to poetry, song and dance, and he has heard a lot of tunes. What's more, his father is a master, very good at music and rhythm, and his writing is quite extraordinary, but unfortunately, Ah Hao is not much interested in these.
He has loved to dance with guns and knives since he was a child, and although his father taught him a lot, he didn't really learn much. On this day, Ah Hao was not in the mood to study, so he recorded a few of his father's words from memory, most of which expressed lovesickness and showed them to Geng Qiu.
Although Geng Qiu is not very good at liberal arts, but the children who have passed the college entrance examination can't memorize a few ancient poems, not to mention that ancient songs were popular for a certain period of time, and he was also a young man who was nostalgic for the wind and dust at that time, and he knew a lot.
So Geng Qiu waved his pen and wrote a few ancient songs, singing and reciting, which stunned Ah Haoke. He didn't know that Geng Qiu still had such ability. Although he always knew that Geng Qiu was a mysterious person, he really didn't expect that he actually knew poetry. Because Geng Qiu can't even write well. He really thought that this guy was a hodgepodge talent who specializes in miscellaneous books and knows a little bit in all aspects. I didn't expect him to write such delicate and moving poems and songs. You know, he himself is now being tortured to death by his masters. Because in the imperial examination, poetry also occupies a place.
You must know that the ancient literati and writers were all good at this, and even most of the songs sung by the most popular prostitutes were written by literati. Everyone still thinks it's a noble thing. But he himself is the shortest in this regard. Although he was carefully taught by his father, at that time, how could he be in the mood to learn this, but he relied on his high talent and memorized some of them, and most of them forgot about it later.
Seeing that Ah Hao liked these, and heard him say that there would be people in the academy who would circulate one or two poems and songs from time to time, Geng Qiu said happily: "Although I can't read, I know a lot about this." I'll copy a few of them for you now, and you'll throw them out next time to fool people. "This kind of thing, Geng Qiu didn't experience it when he was studying.
At that time, if there was a boy in the class who could write poetry, didn't the girls all have a crush in their hearts? There are not many people in that school, so it doesn't depend entirely on the face, it depends on whether the student can play and what his specialties are, such as being able to play the piano, sing and dance, play basketball, and so on. As long as you have a point that stands out, even if it is a bad thing, it will be secretly followed by many people.
Geng Qiu threw out a few poems from everyone in modern and Qing dynasties, although he still couldn't figure out that the Daqing Dynasty he was in was similar to the era in his memory. But the Qing Dynasty is certainly not close, and the modern era is even farther away. For example, Zheng Banqiao, such as Nalan Xingde, and even poems by Master Mao, will never appear. He was relieved to write it boldly, and of course, he also said: "I recorded these things." I don't know who wrote it. ”
There are more than 20 songs written silently, all year round, Meilan Juzhu, and farewell lovers and friends. can make Ah Hao happy. After getting these good poems, he was well locked in the study, chewing and digesting them carefully, he had a high level of understanding, and the digestion of this one by one really improved his level a lot.
This Spring Festival, Ah Hao is concentrating on poetry at home. Originally, he was supposed to go with Liu Zhihua and others to pay New Year's greetings to Baron Yu, but Baron Yu was still in the capital. Even they didn't know that Yu Mingyi actually put Ah Wan alone in the courtyard of the Zhou family. It should be said that no one knows about it, including most people in Beijing, after all, Ah Wan is a baby who is only half a year old, and generally no one brings such a young child out to socialize.
On the fifth day of the first month, Liu Zhihua and others actually arrived at A Hao's house. Five people, even if they are tied to a rope, originally had a good relationship, but now it is even better. Except for Ah Hao, the other four are all men, and they are also young and have not married. So they made a special appointment to come to Ah Hao's house on this day, one is to have fun, to contact the feelings, and the other is to understand Ah Hao's life. After all, the information they got from Ah Xuan's mouth was limited, and none of them knew about Geng Qiu, including Ah Xuan himself.
Under the leadership of Ah Xuan, the three of them arrived at Ah Hao's house, which scared Geng Qiu and Ah Hao.
Several people saluted each other and greeted each other. Geng Qiu didn't know how to entertain them, but Ah Hao said happily: "Brother Qiu, you only need to prepare a few delicious dishes, which is enough to satisfy them." "Usually, these people have also eaten a lot of some food that Geng Qiu gave Ah Geng, of course, they know that he has outstanding cooking skills.
"Brother Hao. This one in your family looks very good. Liu Zhihua said with a smile. Geng Qiu himself is not bad-looking, and he can be regarded as dignified and powerful. Ah Hao has the best relationship with him now, plus they are all young people and have few scruples, so they are more casual in their words.
"Of course, can I fancy the bad? Don't look at him as marrying into my family. But his ability is not low, the county study drawings in Beixian County were detailed by him and Mr. Yu, and then he also drew them. However, the words above were mentioned by Mr. Yu. Brother Qiu's words are really bad. Ah Hao said.
He took the opportunity to explain some things, so as not to inadvertently conflict with Geng Qiu and Liu Zhihua and others. Geng Qiu is his relative, Liu Zhihua and others are his friends, and may even be his colleagues in the future, so he hopes that everyone can get along very well.
Sure enough, everyone listened to his words, and immediately had a much better attitude towards Geng Qiu, at first everyone was just very good to Geng Qiu because of Ah Hao's relationship, but now they are convinced in their hearts. There is even a feeling that the master is in the folk. And admired Geng Qiu even more, people like Geng Qiu can put down their bodies and marry Ah Hao, except for true love, they can't think of any other reason. They are all young, relatively simple-minded, and they are all in their youth, who doesn't want a wife who is happy with each other.
No, Geng Qiu was obviously aware of everyone's admiration for him, and couldn't help but raise his eyebrows to look at Ah Hao. Ah Hao said: "Brother Qiu, they want to know how you drew that picture with Mr. Yu." ”
Geng Qiu can't paint landscapes, but it's good to paint architectural realism, etc., of course, he will also draw some Q version of the characters or something, although it is not very professional, but it is different. So, I took a special charcoal pen and white paper out, and drew a Q version of the image of Ah Niu in public.
"Wow, that's so cute." Everyone shouted, everyone wanted it.
But don't look at Ah Niu, who is about to be two years old, but he is very powerful, and he protects the drawing paper and says, "Ah Niu." "It made everyone laugh.
"Ah Niu, your father will paint it for you again, will you give this one to your uncles?" Ah Hao coaxed.
"Nope." Ah Niu is not fooled. Last time, Geng Qiu drew one for him, and he was secretly taken away by Ah Hao. He took it to the academy and occasionally took it out to see. But I haven't shown it to anyone else. After all, this is the son. In the academy, a father-in-law like him who became his own son is the only one.
A few of Ah Hao's classmates and friends here were playing around, but Baron Yu on the other side was restless. The original General's Mansion is now a barren place, but the Baron's Mansion is not far away, not to mention, and the back door is separated from the back garden of the General's Mansion by a basically unpassable street, and there are no neighbors. Yu Mingyi, the baron, was a little inexplicable. The emperor would not give him a good house, and there were many empty houses near the general's mansion in the past.
Because the general's mansion was confiscated, there were also some families in the vicinity who were implicated, dismissed, and demoted, and some of the remaining families, those who had the means to move away, and those who are still here are all lower-grade official eunuch families, or families whose families are already in decline, and they can't afford power and money. As a result, there are few big families in the area, and what was once a bustling area is now one of the cheapest and least popular in Kyoto.
Baron Yu has been away from Beijing for nearly ten years, and he has never cared about anything, not to mention the changes in Beijing, that is, many things related to him, he needs to understand. Entering the Baron's Mansion all the way, he wondered why this area was so quiet. So after a little rest for half an hour, I found the steward named Wanyou sent by the Internal Affairs Office in the Baron's Palace.
Wan Guan's ability is really not ordinary, he told Baron Yu some big things in Beijing very carefully, and even professionally recorded a cheat sheet for Baron Yu, and wrote down all the things that need to be paid attention to in Beijing, and the people who will definitely deal with them. The cheat sheet includes some taboos of these families, some disputes with others, the relationship between high-ranking officials and clans of major families, and so on. It's like an encyclopedia, of course, there are a few sentences about the General's Mansion in it.
"Steward, hard work. I'm a newcomer, and my eyes are black. In the future, the matter of welcoming and sending gifts in this house will have to be worried about by the stewards. Yu Mingyi was in a very good mood and rewarded Wan Guan very generously.
Now he needs this person very much, and he is sure that this man is not easy, and no one will harm him at the moment anyway. So he was very generous to let Wan Guan take care of this baron's mansion, and the people who were in charge of what he used to be in charge of are still in charge of what, and as for the people he brought, most of them he still has to take away, anyway, he can't live here forever in recent years. Just let it go and let it take care of it.
When Baron Yu returned to Beijing this time, in addition to handing over the fold to the palace to thank him, he also had a lot of official business to do. He was so busy that he only took the time to jot down the cheat sheet given by the steward. As for those relatives and old friends who had a little old relationship with him, they were all sent away by Wan Steward, and none of them saw him, only said that they would post a big banquet in the near future, and they all politely sent them away.
After a few days of such busyness, it was Chinese New Year's Eve.
Early in the morning of this day, Baron Yu entered the palace with many courtiers and wives who needed to go to the palace to spend the Spring Festival with the emperor, had a half-lukewarm social meal, and went back to the house to rest.
On Chinese New Year's Eve this year, of course, the Zhou Governor accompanied him, and although the Fang clan was so angry that he vomited blood, he was helpless. You must know that Yu Mingyi is no better than Yu Mingyi who dared to calculate casually at the beginning, not to mention that her status has risen, even Yu Mingyi's methods are now many times smarter than before, and there are many helpers around her.
Now Yu Mingyi is not only an official figure like Wan Guan Shi, but also the manpower arranged by Governor Zhou in private, and of course, Yu Mingyi's own manpower. Such a three-party manpower adds up to a lot of power. However, Yu Mingyi would not clash head-on with the Fang clan and her children now, and now he had already understood that these people were not worth it. So ignoring is the biggest counterattack.
However, on the second day of the Lunar New Year, Zhou Zhifu still accompanied Fang's family to Yue's house to pay New Year's greetings. During the Chinese New Year, the Fang family would not have a conflict with the Zhou Governor's Mansion at this time, so everyone ate together and amicably. Of course, Governor Zhou stayed at home at night, but he did not share the room with the Fang family, but rested in the study, and was still served by the people he brought himself.
On this night, Yu Mingyi, who also didn't sleep with Fang's.
