Chapter 74: Gongsun Shu
Zu Zheng, Lian Rate, and Da Yin are all titles of first-level officials in the new dynasty, which are synonymous with Taishou in the Han Dynasty, but Wu Lun still has not understood the difference between the three.
I thought it was a title for different titles, but Gongsun Shu did not have the identity of a marquis or uncle, but he was also called a pawn, which was really strange, and I don't know how Wang Mang stipulated it.
This grandson Shuzi Ziyang, is a Maoling person, and the old acquaintance Ma Yuan, Wan Xuan in the same county, he just came to recognize the countryman with the fifth Lun and others, compared to Shuyin, a mouthful of Guanzhong sounds very kind.
After three bows to Yangxiong's tomb, Gongsun Shu lamented: "After I entered Shu as an official, I often heard people praise Ziyun's resignation, and I liked it very much. Ziyun's talent in the world is also a pity, but unfortunately he was not of great use and died in the Beijing Division. ”
"Why stay long? It's better to return to my hometown earlier, I will definitely hire him as the county's sacrificial wine, the three elders, and serve him with Houlu! ”
Gongsun Shu turned his head, looked at the fifth Lun holding the mourning flag, directly held his hand, and said sadly with a leader's demeanor: "Don't be sad, in the past, Chang Hong died in Shu, hid his blood for three years, and turned into blue." Ziyun's soul should also be stored in Shuzhong, as a local scholar! ”
After that, he also asked people to give 100 horses as his mourning money to Yangxiong.
This is a very heavy gift, and with these words, Hou Ba and Wang Long were all moved, and they only felt that Gongsun Shu was a good county gentleman with a corporal of Lixian.
Even Wulun also has a good impression of Gongsun Shu, after all, Yangxiong has been cold all his life, and it is not easy to meet someone who appreciates him, since Dao Jiang is so attitude, there is no need to worry about the teacher's death.
They had to build a hut in front of the tomb and live for a few days, and they could not leave until the mourning period of 7749 days, because the road had been too long, and the time after tomorrow would be the day after tomorrow.
Gongsun Shu then invited them to eat together in Pixian County after the funeral, and then slowly narrated.
Fifth Lun and the others wanted to refuse politely, but although Huan Tan disagreed with Gongsun Shu's words and deeds, when he warmly invited, his eyes lit up and he agreed for Fifth Lun.
"For the rest of the month, accompany the three filial disciples to eat vegetarian soup? The old man has lost weight? Gongsun Zuzheng, you have a banquet? You have to do it more generously! ”
……
The funeral is basically over after three days? Although Wu Lun and the others are still wearing plain clothes, they can go to other people's houses to attend meetings? It's just that wine and meat still have to be abstained from.
"This grandson is a big showman."
Just arrived at the Pixian County Temple? Huan Tan smirked? Make this statement.
Fifth Lun looked at it, indeed, if the day before yesterday Gongsun Shu heard the news of Yangxiong's burial, and hurried from his ruling place in Qiongcheng? And today? But it was to bring a whole set of honor guards of 2,000 stones.
But in front of the county temple, four foot soldiers opened the way, the axe car drove forward, advocating the majesty of the car, and the five officials under the door guided the followers? Four horsemen guarded. In addition, there are child horsemen and soldiers? It can really be described as a blind day, and the car is full of roads? That's a hundred.
is completely opposite to the pomp outside, Gongsun Shu held this small banquet extremely simple and low-key? Although all kinds of ritual utensils are neatly placed and meticulous? Food that can be put on everyone's desk? It's just a simple millet rice and local homemade bean paste, but unfortunately there is no chili pepper to accompany the color, and it is black.
Gongsun Shu was also dressed in plain white today, and raised a lamp to replace wine with soup and said: "Liyun, on the day of hanging, don't drink alcohol and eat meat." I know that you still have to mourn for Ziyun Gong, there are taboos in food, although a few days have passed, but my heart is still sad, so I will eat with you! ”
"Thank you, Gongsun Zuzheng!"
At the end, Gongsun Shu regretted for everyone again: "The land in Shuzhong is fertile, there are rivers and fertile fields, and the people eat rice and fish, and there is no bad year. Its mountains and forests are full of fish, and the garden is full of melons and fruits, and the four sections are ripe, and they are not good. ”
"And there are a lot of delicacies here, just like Ziyungong said in "Shu Du Fu"......"
Gongsun Shu closed his eyes and recited a passage in its entirety: "The sum of sweetness, the soup of peony." Rice fat pig, solitary bamboo. ”
Wang Long was quite moved, and continued: "The cannon owl is the fetus, the mountain deer is the marrow brain, the water swims the belly, and the bee dolphin should be ......."
Hou Ba also picked up the next sentence: "The mountain cranes are both friends, the spring lambs and autumn mice, the turtles and turtles, and the fields and birds." ”
Then the two looked at the fifth Lun, this is Solitaire?
Fortunately, Nafu Wulun has been walking in Shu these days, in order to deepen his understanding of this place, he has indeed read it several times, and after a moment of silence, he said: "The shape is not as good as work, five meat and seven vegetables, hazy and fishy, you can practice God and nourish blood, all of them are not Bi Chen." ”
Perhaps touched by these words, Wang Long burst into tears again, wiped his clothes with his clothes and said: "Master is a person with a good taste, the first time I read this fu, I have been hungry for Shu food, but this time I went south but there was no mouth, it's a pity." ”
Who isn't? Fifth Lun also shook his head and sighed, he hadn't eaten meat for a month.
Gongsun Shu said: "Even if Zhongni's disciples mourn for the saint, it will only be three years, and they will stay in Shu for a long time, won't they be able to taste it?" ”
Fifth Lun heard it, Gongsun was deliberately recruiting a few of them, and he was immediately happy. Isn't it just resignation, he's too familiar.
But without waiting for Gongsun Shu to say another heartfelt words of love, Huan Tan patted the case a few times dissatisfiedly: "Pawn, it's just a vegetarian diet for children, does the old man also eat this?" ”
Huan Tan has always been frivolous, and he doesn't care about the occasion when he speaks, and he was a little embarrassed for a while, Gongsun Shu clapped his palms and asked people to send the good food.
The food is a roast chicken and duck cooking, Huan Junshan sandwiched a piece with chopsticks, chewed slowly in front of everyone's hungry eyes, and said straight at the first taste: "It's so sweet!" ”
Gongsun said: "The Shu people have a good taste, thinking that the guinea chicken is light, so the Shu people eat, like the honey, so the flavor is excellent, but the people from other counties are not necessarily used to eating." ”
This made the fifth Lun quite surprised, it turned out that Sichuan was sweet in ancient times before encountering chili peppers? Put sugar in all dishes, sweet party ecstasy!
It is not the common caramel in Guanzhong, but the sugarcane juice in the south of Shudi is directly added as a seasoning.
Huan Tan didn't pick it, he ate very happily, and for a while, the aroma suddenly filled the hall, and Wu Lun and the others chewed the dry watercress in their mouths, but they had to watch Huan Tan eat shamelessly.
For the rest of the month, they were accustomed to Huan Tan's profligate remains, but Gongsun Shu was a little unaccustomed to it, and said cryptically: "I have heard that Dr. Junshan and Ziyun Gong are kind to each other, and now his bones have just been buried, and Junshan has a good appetite." ”
Huan Tan sucked his oily hand and laughed: "There is Lao Gong's grandson who is worried, do you want me to grab the ground with my head and die with tears all day long?" ”
Gongsun Shu shook his head: "It doesn't have to be like this, but I have heard that a gentleman does not feel sweet when he eats delicious food, he does not feel happy when he listens to music, and he does not feel comfortable living at home." Today's Jun Mountain eats meat, clothes and husbands, and is in Ru'an? ”
This is Confucius's criticism of his disciple Zai Yu's questioning of the funeral, but Huan Tan stopped and said: "Gongsun Ziyang, how can you know the wound of my heart?" ”
He got up and sighed: "Ziyun once said that the living must die; Where there is a beginning, there must be an end. Nature's Way also. Aging ends, for Ziyun, who has no ambition in his life, it is not pain, but relief. ”
"Now that Ziyun is sleeping in the giant room, he should be happy, and if I cry casually, I really don't understand him!"
"My heart is sad and happy, only overeating can heal, only by singing in the drum pot can I forget, but let Gongsun pawn is a joke."
After that, Huan Tan picked up the lacquer plate that had been eaten cleanly, and he, a great musician, actually sat on the ground on the spot and beat it, laughing again and again in his singing: "Xi Zhongni went to Lu Xi, and he was late and Zhou Mai, and finally returned to the old capital, why bother Xiangyuan and Taose!" ”
Gongsun Shu, who pays attention to external etiquette and pays attention to details, can't understand Huan Tan's crazy behavior, and some can't do anything about him. Don't speculate for more than half a sentence, just ignore Huan Tan, when he didn't exist, he turned to the three of Wu Lun, continued the topic just now, and asked them about their future plans, which was quite meaningful.
Hou Ba was a little moved, and said to himself: "I plan to build a house in front of the tomb, keep filial piety for my master for three years, and sort out his testament." ”
"Filial piety too! There are disciples like this, Ziyun's virtue is comparable to Zhongni! Gongsun Shu slapped his palms and took one bite to accept Hou Ba's food, clothing and daily living for the past three years.
Wang Long said: "Long Nai is a young scholar, and he is willing to follow his senior brother to keep filial piety for three months, and then he will return to Beijing to continue his post." In fact, he wanted to walk through the mountains and rivers that Master Yangxiong had walked, find his state of mind when he was writing, deepen his understanding of the teacher, and maybe he could also be inspired to write a good article that can be passed on to the world.
It seems that Wang Long can't stay for a long time, Gongsun Shu said that it was a pity, but his eyes had already looked at Wu Lun, and he was determined to win this young man.
"I went back to Beijing last year to plan and returned to Maoling, and I have also heard of the name of the fifth lang of filial piety in the neighboring county, and I know that Bo Yu and Ma Wenyuan are innocent, but Bo Yu still doesn't know? I and Ma Yuan, not only in the same county, but also in the same place, my family pushed the door out, opposite is the horse house, we have been friends since childhood. ”
And such a friendship? Fifth Lun remembered that the servant had indeed said that opposite the Ma family was the Gongsun Mansion, which was also a high-ranking gate.
Fifth Lun arched his hand and said: "Thanks to Gongsun Zheng's good intentions, it's just a ......"
He told him about his letter to join the army, which was earlier than Wang Long, and he had to return to Chang'an before the first month.
"In this way, I'm going to go hand in hand with Boyu, it's a pity." Gongsun Shu called it a pity.
At this time, Huan Tan had eaten enough and sang, and drank some wine, tired of Gongsun Shu's tirade, and had already begun to yawn.
Fifth Lun got up to say goodbye, Gongsun Shu sent a few people out of the county temple, remembered something, but pulled Fifth Lun to the side, and said in a low voice: "Since Ma Wenyuan ran away with Na Wanyu, there has been no news, Bo Yu knows where he went?" ”
Seeing that the fifth Lun had doubts, Gongsun Shu explained with a smile: "I am kind to Wen Yuan, and my brother is about the same age as his daughter, but I want to invite someone to do the work of Vake, but I don't know where Wen Yuan is, so this matter cannot be done for a long time." ”
Vake just asked people to be matchmakers, and how many daughters does Ma Yuan have?
One!
Fifth Lun was slightly stunned, looked at Gongsun Shu's side, his younger brother Gongsun Hui, who had been sitting with him today, originally looked pleasing to the eye, and talked with him very happily at the table, but now that he looks at it, he feels that this guy has a roe deer, so ugly!
Gongsun Shu said: "If Boyu knows where Wen Yuan is, I will definitely go and quietly invite Wen Yuan and let him settle in Shuzhong. ”
There are a few horses in the world, and one is one!
This Gongsun Shu is also a tribute to the Yang Xiong of Su Wei's life, recruiting his three brothers and sisters, and now he wants to bring Ma Yuan into his command, and his ambition is not small.
So the fifth Lun solemnly bowed his hand to Gongsun Shu: "Don't hide it from Gongsun Zheng, I only have a two-sided relationship with Ma Wenyuan, and I have no contact after that, and I don't know where he is going!" ”
……
Early the next morning, Fifth Lun went over to see if Huan Tan was awake, but he saw that since Huan Tan was silently wiping away tears, he laughed out loud after being broken by Fifth Lun, pretending to be picking at his eyes.
Fifth Lun has seen the tears on his pillow, could it be that Huan Tan's usual free and easy is pretended, and in the dead of night, he is still secretly sad when he thinks of the death of his confidant Yangxiong?
Fifth Lun didn't say anything, and only chatted with Huan Tan about yesterday's small banquet.
"Doctor Junshan thinks, how is Gongsun Shu?"
Huan Tan thought for a while and said: "Gongsun Shu seems to be an humble corporal, but as far as I know, he is actually strict and meticulous, and he observes small things, and it can be seen from the pomp and circumstance that he likes to decorate the edges and decorate famous things. ”
"In a word, hypocrisy."
Fifth Lun smiled: "Then am I not also hypocritical? Dr. Junshan has always thought so. ”
"That's right."
Huan Tan said bluntly: "But Boyu's hypocrisy, there is also a little sincerity, for example, it is nine points of water and one point of honey, the first taste may feel too light, but the more you drink, the more flavorful, and you will not get tired of ......it for a long time."
Hey, what kind of broken metaphor, Fifth Lun immediately moved away from Huan Tan a little farther.
"And Gongsun Shu gives people the feeling that it is nine points of honey and one point of water."
"The friendship of gentlemen is as light as water, and the friendship of villains is sweet, and the first taste may be sweet and loved, but after a long time, it will feel disgusting."
After saying this, Huan Tan spat directly on the ground, it turned out that the dignified palm music doctor has this quality!
"What do you think?"
Fifth Lun said with a smile: "What I value with Dr. Junshan is a little admired and appreciated by Gongsun Shu!" ”
