Chapter 52 - Invitation to the Lord (2)
Sure enough, as Xiao Langjun expected, Zhao Di couldn't help but briefly recount the love legend of Cui Yingying and Zhang Sheng's joys and sorrows.
Zhao Ping's version of the West Chamber, which he recreated, is written entirely from the reader's point of view, with a strong sense of substitution.
The content of the book is simply tailor-made for scholars from all over the world such as Xingxing, so that Xixing can fully enter the role of Zhang Sheng, as if Xixing is Zhang Sheng, and Zhang Sheng is Xixing, which is so lethal to Xixing!
Xixing thinks that studying all his life is not to become a scholar like Zhang Sheng?
Yan Ruyu and the champion have everything, and they are everyone's little lady.
Xixing couldn't help but sigh in his heart, all the previous books were read in vain, and all the commentaries were said in vain.
Xixing saw that such a speculative friend had been talking for a long time and didn't know the other party's name, so he couldn't help but arch his hands and asked, "Dare to ask Brother Ren's name?" ”
Zhao Di also replied: "Don't dare, the younger brother's surname is Zhao Mingyun, and the word Ziyi." Brother Ren is a famous fast mouth wash shining? ”
Although Xixing usually looks down on businessmen, he no longer dares to hold it up, and asks with a deep salute with both hands: "Dare to ask Brother Ziyi, but is it the shopkeeper of Zhao's business shop?" ”
Zhao Di hurriedly bowed and said, "A little cheap, why bother." ”
Xixing solemnly looked at the teacup, and after tasting the tea, he said solemnly: "The younger brother may have a disagreeing idea with other businessmen, but seeing the things made by Zhaojiazhuang's workshop, I have been thinking about it all these times, Zhao's workshop will produce high-quality products." Not to mention the things such as fairy soap, fairy charcoal, fairy furnace, and flower fairy soap, this drunken spring breeze green tea alone can only be made by Zhaojiazhuang. These things are indeed unbelievable and ingenious. ”
Xixing expresses his love for this new style of tea from the heart.
"Especially this drunken spring breeze, if the previous brewed tea is like a tirade stacked with words, then this green tea is a fresh and timeless song, and it can't be eye-catching."
Zhao Di couldn't help but be overjoyed, it is rare for this person to have such a high evaluation of Zhaojiazhuang, does this mean that the literati have changed the workshop of Zhaojiazhuang?
So Zhao Yun solemnly took out a box of drunken spring breeze green tea, handed it to Xixing with both hands and said: "A thousand gold is easy to get, but a confidant is hard to find." A few small things, I hope to accept them. ”
Xixing couldn't help but be overjoyed, but he didn't expect to get a drunken spring breeze worth one or two silver in a few simple comments.
He hurriedly waved his hand and said, "This drunken spring breeze is too precious, and the little brother is too much to bear. ”
Zhao Di stuffed the drunken spring breeze into his arms, and said: "Mountains and rivers are not enough, the most important thing is to meet and know." Since he is a confidant, how can he be comparable to the mere copper smell. ”
Xixing had no choice but to solemnly accept it, and when he saw a poem on the box, he couldn't help but chant softly:
"The soup is a cup of shadow and jade, and the fragrance is empty. Skillfully cut tender green to make willow, the bottom of the leaves is still drunk with the spring breeze. ”
couldn't help but slap the table, sighed and said: "Poetry is good, tea is good, the two complement each other." ”
Zhao Di then took out a Jingdezhen version of a porcelain teacup, solemnly gave it to Xixing and said: "A good horse beard is a good saddle, and a good tea needs a teacup." This teacup brother gave it to Brother Ren. ”
After washing the stars politely, I had to accept it, and then I couldn't take my eyes off "The Legend of the West Chamber"!
But he was disappointed!
Zhao Di shook his head, held the book in his hand and said to Xixing: "Brother Ren, this book is a manuscript, so I will not borrow it." ”
Seeing Xixing's disappointed face, Zhao Di said again: "If it's Mr. Zhaojiazhuang Academy." Yes, you can borrow it at any time. ”
Seeing Xixing's hesitant look, Zhao Diping continued to bewitch and said: "Zhaojiazhuang not only has "The Legend of the West Chamber", but also "The Biography of Yue Wumu", "The Biography of Wei Liehou", "The Biography of Zu Yuzhou", "The Biography of Huo Guanguanhou", "The Biography of Ban Dingyuan", "The Eight Masters of Tang and Song Prose" and so on. As Brother Ren said, if Zhaojiazhuang does not come out, it will be a high-quality product. This is true not only of goods, but also of books, all of which are not found in the world. ”
Xixing pondered for a while and said, "Brother Ren, let the junior brother go back and think, and reply in three days." ”
Zhao Yun knew that literati had a reserved nature, so he left after giving up.
Three days later, Xixing came to the Zhao teahouse next to the Zhao family's business square and found that the calligraphy of this private room had been quietly replaced.
The tea poem is composed of the poem "I am the mulberry family in the south of the Yangtze River, and I drink the tea of the hometown in the spring." Only the claws of the goshawk should be pressed, and the red sac and white snow buds can be pressed. It became Zhao Ping's poem: "The soup is a cup of shadow and jade, and the fragrance is empty." Skillfully cut tender green to make willow, the bottom of the leaves is still drunk with the spring breeze. ”
And there is also a group of literati by the lake to taste tea, play chess, fish and play the piano landscape paintings on it, and the calligraphy and painting are their own teacher Yuan Xuezheng!
Xixing couldn't help but salute the calligraphy, and then said with a long sigh: "Sure enough, poetry, calligraphy, painting and tea are a family, life is like this, why worry about it?" ”
In fact, Zhao Ping got Yuan Xuezheng's calligraphy and painting about the teacher Yuan Xuezheng's tea, and the price was not small, not only paid for an increase of 30 catties of tea every year, but also handed over the music scores of "A Laugh in the Sea" and "Liang Zhu".
Yuan Xuezheng was happy, so he drew a picture of tea tasting by the lake and gave it to Zhao Ping.
Wash the stars also has their own worries.
Since my mother gave birth to Xixing and fell to the root of the disease, although there have been many treatments, it has still not been cured!
Xixing can't wait to be sick of himself, not his mother.
There are also a few younger siblings who have not grown up.
But as he grows up, he still has to support his family like his father, and he can't fall ill.
At this time, after the two of them were polite, they said: "Brother Ren, after the younger brother left, the parents and Weng Weng's mother-in-law are old, but there are still two younger sisters and younger brothers, and their parents rent a house in the county seat. The little brother is really relieved. ”
Zhao Di laughed and said: "This is not a problem, Zhaojiazhuang is building housing, and for Jiaoyu, he has the right of first choice." I don't know how long the Lingzun Lingtang is? How old are Brother Ren's two sisters and brothers? ”
Xixing couldn't help but be overjoyed and said: "My father is in his early forties, and my mother is almost forty, but my mother has been sick for a long time. Mother-in-law Weng Weng is almost sixty years old. The two housemates, one fourteen and one twelve, have not yet been married. Two brothers, one is ten years old and the other is eight years old. ”
Zhao Di continued to laugh and said: "Brother Ren, you can rest assured about this, Ling Zun and Ling Mei can arrange work in Zhaojiazhuang, and Brother Ling can go to school for free in Zhaojiazhuang, and lunch will be provided free at noon, and pen, ink and paper will be provided by the school." Lingtang can arrange for Lang Zhong to treat him. By the way, Lingtang has already given birth to five children, and Zhaojiazhuang has just issued a rule that any woman who gives birth to five children can get three copper coins per month. Brother Ren, as long as you are a person from Zhaojiazhuang, you can enjoy a nine-percent discount, and Sanguan can already buy a load of rice. Basically, it can ensure that the family is fed. ”
Washing the stars suddenly had a feeling of land soaring.
He was afraid that it was a dream, so he couldn't help but pinch his arm with his hand, and felt pain, which was indeed a fact.
Thinking of this, I didn't expect Zhaojiazhuang to have such a humane side.
Suddenly burst into tears, turned around and quietly wiped the tears that came out of his eyes with his sleeve.
The next day, Xixing's family wore the new clothes that Zhao Di had advanced to Xixing and his mother, and excitedly rode to Zhaojiazhuang on a boat that went upstream.
The two little sisters and their younger brother chattered non-stop.
But the happiest of his mother.
She used to be a burden to the family, but now she earns money for the family, and she has a share of the new clothes on her children.
Along the way, they saw ships coming and going, egrets on the horizon kept skimming overhead, and on both sides of the bank were the reflections of green bamboos.
While humming a mountain song, Zi Gong squeaked and rocked the boat, looked at his peers, laughed and cursed a few times, and then seemed to feel more powerful, and the rocking of the oar was faster.
Coming to Zhaojiazhuang, it is a big inlet called Tuowan, it suddenly drizzled in the sky, Xixing's family got into the middle of the canopy to avoid the rain, and the captain also put on the hat and put on the coat, only Xixing and Zhao Di stood in front of the bow.
Xixing was in a good mood, and he couldn't help but be poetic, and chanted the words of the former Tang Dynasty in his mouth: "The egret flies in front of Xisai Mountain, and the peach blossoms flow and the mandarin fish are fat." Green hat, green lily clothes. The slanting wind and drizzle do not have to return. ”
Zhao Di also nodded, pointed to the fishermen on both sides of the strait who were dressed in robes and hats, and said: "Brother Ren's words are indeed a portrayal of the current scenery. ”
Xixing also looked at the surrounding scenery, nodded and admired: "I didn't expect the scenery in the countryside to be so beautiful, as if I came to a paradise." ”
When I came to Zhaojiazhuang Wharf, the rain had basically stopped at this time.
When the people at the dock saw Zhao Di greeting the "second shopkeeper" and saluting, Zhao Di also smiled and returned the salute while greeting.
Zhao Di saw that the wharf had been expanded more than three times, of which one-third was a pedestrian wharf, and the rest was a cargo wharf.
Xixing's family couldn't help but be dumbfounded, they didn't expect that this wharf would be bigger and more lively than the county seat.
There are more people and logistics coming and going here than the county seat.
Xixing's two younger sisters chattered happily, and the two younger brothers jumped up with joy.
The parents looked at each other, and their eyes were full of smiles.
Zhao Di explained: "Zhaojiazhuang is the hub of Changyuan County and Dazu County, down to Changyuan County, up to Dazu County, Zhaojiazhuang's goods can not only be transported to Changyuan County, but also can be transported to Dazu County, plus Dazu County is the location of Changzhou, more guests come and go." Zhaojiazhuang took advantage of the waterway, which is why it is so lively. ”
Xixing's father, Xiyang, is in his forties, and his face is frosty.
He looked at the crowds of people coming and going, merchants and goods, shook his head and sighed, "Water transportation alone is not enough. The most important thing is that Zhaojiazhuang has other things that do not have it, which attracts so many merchants to come here to evolve. Zhaojiazhuang is like a cornucopia, attracting eyes and businesses from all directions. It turned out that they thought that Zhaojiazhuang was a remote village, but they didn't expect it to be so lively. Hey, what's that thing? ”
The group looked along Xiyang's fingers, and saw several men holding a huge piece of wood, which was tied to a huge wooden utensil like a horse with a metal chain, and a heavy box hanging from the other end of the iron rod.
With the men turning, it seemed to have an easier time moving the heavy box from the dock and placing it on the ship.
The boat shook for a few times and finally stabilized, and then everyone felt that the ship was sinking, obviously this thing was very heavy, at least several thousand catties.
Everyone couldn't help but be surprised, what is this thing, so lightweight?
