Chapter 7 The Pavilion Welcomes Guests
The early autumn sun was about to rise, and the swallows under the eaves chirped, poked their heads out of the bird's nest, and watched curiously as the girl put the piano bag in front of the Zhong family.
Today is the day when Yuan Lingjun and Zhao Dalang set off to study, Zhao Dalang drove the rented donkey cart to the entrance of the village, urging him to set off, Yuan Lingjun got on the car with his burden, Zhao Dalang raised his whip, and the donkey walked slowly.
Baboon Village is in the lower reaches of the Tianguan River, and they must pass through the county seat of Tianguan County to study in Baling.
The donkey cart could not match the speed of the carriage, from sunrise to sunset, it only walked a little distance, the donkeys wanted to eat grass and rest, they sat in the shade and nibbled on dry food steamed cakes, in order to avoid sleeping in the mountains, Yuan Lingjun built yƬ to find a foothold, Zhao Dalang was reluctant, the money he brought out from home was used to dot up and down, and there was no room for waste, so the two of them walked around the neighborhood a few times, and finally luckily found an abandoned mountain temple.
The place was sparsely populated, the mountain temple was almost unworshipped, the temple was covered with cobwebs, it looked cold and cold, and there were dry straw under the dark pillars, which may have been left by former wandering beggars or passers-by like them.
Zhao Dalang lit the fire, the mountain temple is remote, it is inevitable that it will encounter a sneak attack by jackals, tigers and leopards in the mountain, and it cannot be taken lightly. After laying the ground with hay, take off the new silk robe, the caftan brown is the clothes that the peasants wear only when they are convenient to work, the Zhao family in order to make the son who goes to school to study and study dress more decently, and save enough money to go to the town to make this cloth coat with big sleeves, Zhao Dalang cherishes it very much, and a little wrinkle will frown for a long time.
Zhao Dalang took out an old dress as a futon and covered his body, and Yuan Lingjun on the opposite side was already lying on the hay with his clothes, and his long hair fell in the ash heap.
She always doesn't like to be clean, Zhao Dalang sneered coldly and turned his back.
The moonlight outside the window hits the floor tiles through the gaps in the pine trees, and the sound of insects under the corners of the wall makes people feel lonely.
On the road the next day, Yuan Lingjun, who had been cold in the temple all night, looked sad, similar to the donkey driving the car, and couldn't lift the slightest energy to cope with the journey.
"Let's hurry into the city, stay at the post house for one night, and then set off for Baling." After entering Tianguan County, it is not far from Baling County, and Zhao Dalang is rare and generous to take her to live in a post station.
The ancients said that there is money all over the world. Yuan Lingjun didn't have half a copper coin on his body, so he didn't dare to go on the road alone, so he had to pin his hopes on the donkey, hoping that the donkey would be full of energy and gallop like a horse.
In the middle of the day, the two who were about to be sunburned finally rushed to Tianguan County and found the pavilion to stay, took a hot soup bath, and ate a hot meal.
Yuan Lingjun was exhausted, and he didn't have half the strength to lie on the couch.
Less than a moment later, there was a knock on the door. Yuan Lingjun was not feeling well, and he was angry in his heart, so he opened the door and shouted, "You'd better be in a hurry." ā
"The letter of recommendation from my teacher is gone, and it may have fallen in the mountain temple." Zhao Dalang was in a hurry. He remembered that he had moved the baggage at that time, and it was probably at that time that it had fallen out.
"Ahh It's too careless, so hurry up and find it. Yuan Lingjun rubbed his eyes and yawned.
"Help me find it, or you'll do something." Zhao Dalang was full of anger.
Yuan Lingjun was also on fire, and his eyebrows were upside down: "You want to enter the suburban palace to study, what does it have to do with me, what kind of evil fire does it have on a hot day?" ā
"Okay, you...... You're unreasonable! Zhao Dalang was so angry that he was incoherent, and he couldn't say why he had to help Yuan Lingjun, so he flicked his sleeves and went downstairs.
has no rich life, and has a rich disease, who is used to it. Zhen Chuanting is not old and confused, this kind of person is regarded as a treasure, and his parents are ancestors at home, and he is a bird when he leaves his comfort nest. The more Yuan Lingjun thought about it, the more angry he became, kicked his shoes and went to the bed, rolled over and over for a while, and pondered carefully, no matter how much Zhao Dalang hated it, he brought it out by himself, and he should blame her if he lost Wang Shi, thinking of this, she felt as if she had let Wang Shi pit again.
Yuan Lingjun hurriedly walked out of the dormitory and found a post officer, "Let you post a visit, I have something to say to him." ā
Yuan Lingjun, who went out of the house, was still wearing short skirts and trousers, dressed like a girl from a poor family, and the post official was perfunctory, and he was not at ease at all.
Yuan Lingjun was a little annoyed, and took out a jade deer in the neck socket and handed it to the post officer.
The deer is a symbol of power, and ordinary people are not allowed to wear deer. The post officer touched his head, and his face twitched a few times. Yuan Lingjun laughed, and the two pear vortices were deep: "If you see it clearly, I will quickly invite you Yicheng to come over." ā
The post officer immediately found the post and said that there was a girl wearing a white jade deer. When Yi Cheng heard about this, he rushed over panting, and did not forget to bring a basket of delicate snacks and snacks.
When I saw the girl wearing the jade deer, I realized that what the post officer said was true. Yuan Lingjun explained what had happened to Yi Cheng, and ordered him to send a team of men and horses to the mountain temple to retrieve the letter, and Yi Cheng was ordered to go down to do things. Yuan Lingjun picked up the snack, swallowed his saliva, put it back again, and let it go to sleep.
When I woke up, I still didn't see Zhao Dalang return to the museum, the post officer sent Yan food, the Yuan Ling was used up, the sky was already twilight, but the post Cheng first found the letter back.
Yuan Lingjun was very curious, and secretly opened the letter to read it, and he also made a long speech, and at first glance, he knew that it was Zhen Chuanting's tone and handwriting, and his head hurt when he saw it.
Downstairs in the street, there was the sound of horses' hooves, chariots, and men's voices, and Yuan Lingjun's bedroom was in the direction of the street. Yuan Lingjun walked to the window and glanced out, pulled the window shut hard, and threw the letter into Yi Cheng's arms, "Take it away, and give it to him when the people who are traveling with me come back, don't say useless words." ā
After the post left, a group of men and women came into the pavilion, which was very lively.
Yuan Lingjun went out and caught a post officer: "It's so lively, who is coming?" ā
"The girls of the Wang family and the Xu family are back in An Benzong, they have to carry their luggage in, there are not many vacant guest rooms, and there are not enough people to help at the post station, the steward of the Xu family is very displeased, and is reprimanding the post man." The post officer knew that her identity was not bad, and her tone was very respectful and polite, and after speaking, he bowed his hand and hurriedly helped.
The reputation of the girl of Xu Er, the king of Lin'an, has long spread all over the country, and Yuan Lingjun, who has traveled to the rivers and lakes, has heard of it.
Outside the gate of the pavilion, a group of servants dressed in black were moving boxes and cages with the post officials, and the maidservants took some light luggage, because there were too many people and salutes, and the gate of the pavilion was blocked tightly.
"Don't talk to me about it, hurry up and find a way to arrange a first-class room for the lady of the second mansion, and the servants in the house must also have a room for the night. If you offend the Xu Mansion, you can do it yourself. ā
Steward Xu was angry, he couldn't make any sense, he wanted to drive away the idle people at the post station, and vacate the extra room for the servants of the Wang and Xu families, and it also depended on whether he had the ability to drive that one out. Yi Cheng is almost angry, what is the difference between the Xu family steward and the leader of the mountain bandits. Yi Cheng secretly made up his mind in his heart, if he continued to make things endless, he would move that one out to scare and scare him, both horizontally and vertically, and he would also pull this annoying guy into the water when he died.
Yi Cheng continued to endure the noisy complaints of Steward Xu there, and a post official here led the female relatives of the second mansion into the pavilion.
The ladies wore a wattle on their heads, indicating that they were unmarried maids, but their outfits and actions all revealed the atmosphere of the nobles of the clan, and they exuded a mature charm everywhere.
"Yicheng has already explained the truth, and it is not difficult for people to be in charge." The girl who walked at the end stopped and talked to Steward Xu through the soap veil.
Seeing that it was the seventh mother in the house, Steward Xu waved his hand and said yes, and he was no longer embarrassed.
"The people in the second mansion are troubled and troublesome, so they will be tired of the post." The girl spoke softly and nodded to the post.
The post returned the salute and said that it should.
This group of women from everyone are all wide and large-sleeved, wearing Lingling, and their gestures show the style of the family and the elegance of the nobility. The people who watched the excitement in the pavilion were all amazed and admired their amazing bearing. "Marrying a man should marry Chang Shanzi, marrying a woman should marry Wang Xu Nu" in a word to say the superiority of marrying the children of the hairpin family, this is not a lie, the Wang Xu family up to the sect down to the side branches, especially the children's upbringing and family style, since childhood training and training, after growing up a natural posture, without pretentiousness.
It is also the wish of many commoners to be able to make friends with the ladies of the family, and in this regard, the young man in the silk cloth and wide clothes looked even more proud, and diligently opened the way for the women.
"The ladies are going back to the room to rest, there is a difference between men and women, Lang Jun is not good to follow, please go back." Seeing that the young man had no intention of leaving, the female envoy of the Wang family reminded him and bowed to Zhao Dalang and blocked him.
Zhao Dalang bowed and waved his hands again and again, watching several girls leave. The girl from a famous family is really extraordinary, how do the mountain and village girls compare, thinking about it like this, Zhao Dalang made a calculation in his heart.
"Hey, how does the Xu family's carriage taste, is there any joy to bloom?" Yuan Lingjun clasped his arms in his hands and looked at Zhao Dalang condescendingly. actually got in touch with the Lin'an Xu family, there is really more than a little ability, Zhen Chuanting's "wise eyes" must have been refined in the gossip furnace of Taishang Laojun.
"What do you have to do with it?" Zhao Dalang flicked his sleeves and entered the house angrily.
"It's rude not to answer me when I'm asking you. Haven't you found the letter yet? Yuan Lingjun pretended not to know how to follow.
Zhao Dalang's face sank, and he slammed the door slammed shut, and several handmaidens who were passing by with their clothes covered their mouths and sneered.
Yuan Lingjun touched his nose, and when he got on the Xu family's boat, he was bold, and he didn't know that there were people outside the world if he didn't give a lesson. Didn't Fan Jiang also say that people who are unkind to him will either kill him or use him. If this person was Zhao Dalang, Yuan Lingjun just wanted to stomp on his head.
Yuan Lingjun turned around and went downstairs, the arrogant housekeeper of the Xu family was not there, and Yi Cheng was leaning on the railing with a long sigh and weeping silently.
"Give me the letter." Yuan Lingjun stretched out his hand and said viciously.
Yicheng's tears flowed even more fiercely.
