Chapter 101: When is the moon coming in the blue sky?
Leaving Tianqingfang and passing through Dongcheng, Xu You subconsciously looked at Yishe, I don't know how Sha Sanqing and Mo Yelai are doing for so long, they shouldn't have caused any more trouble, otherwise, the winter solstice should tell him.
In this troubled world, no news is the biggest good news!
After leaving the city, Xu You made a detour to the south and went to the Zhao family shipyard in Qiantangdu. The owner Zhao Xin is over thirty years old, his appearance is dignified, his eyes are as big as copper bells, and he looks bright, and when he sees Xu You, he is at a loss for excitement.
Thinking that he is a businessman, he prefers to be vassally elegant, and he doesn't understand etiquette, so he makes a lot of jokes. Xu You did not have the slightest contempt and displeasure, his smile was full, gentle and respectful, and he showed enough respect for Zhao Xin's wife. The winter solstice has already been reported, Zhao Xin is afraid of the inside, and Zhao's wife can be the master of most of the things in the family. and Zhao Xin's two beautiful daughters who obviously admired Xu You, they also dealt with them skillfully one by one, neither being external nor too close, which seemed very measured and made people feel good. It's just that the work of tea makes Zhao Xin regard him as a confidant and friend, so he almost worships him by cutting his heart and digging out his liver!
At this time, most of the businessmen who can become bigger and stronger are people of faith, there is no advertising to fool, it all depends on word-of-mouth, and there are a few fraudulent deeds, and it is impossible to continue to do it when it is spread out. Therefore, Zhao Xin's person, Xu You asked Dong Solstice to investigate carefully, and he is a person who can be friends.
Xu You is here, not only to make friends, but also to open a workshop, build a factory and buy equipment are all trivial matters, the important thing is the lack of enough carpenters. Those who are proficient in this craft are either craftsmen of the government's hundred workshops, or they have long been employed by major shipyards and other workshops, and they are scarce talents that cannot be found. It is not impossible to dig people with high salaries, but it is generally impossible to dig them, and craftsmen are bound by contracts and social morality, which is more binding and more effective. Even if Xu You is willing to help pay liquidated damages, it is very likely that he will not be able to dig up people, and he will be notorious because of this - for him, the wind review in the countryside is very important, and it involves the evaluation of future promotions, and it is an idiot to isolate himself from the scholars in order to make money.
Therefore, he only came to see Zhao Xin, hoping to borrow a few people from him first, and then slowly find a way to intercept them in the future. The advantage of this is that it will not hurt the harmony of the two, and it will not make Zhao Xin so embarrassed.
Zhao Xin was very happy, and directly gave Xu You ten skilled carpenters and five skilled metallurgical blacksmiths, and made an appointment to borrow them for one year and return them when they expired. With a wave of his hand, Xu You bought five more ships in Zhao Xin's place, plus the previous fifteen, just in the Zhao family's shipyard, he had twenty big ships, even if it was the shipyard in Jinling, this could be regarded as a big customer!
Seeing that it was getting late, Zhao Xin warmly stayed at Xu You and set up a banquet in the back garden. After three rounds of wine, when the ears are hot and the face is hot, the bright moon hangs high, like a jade plate is bright and gorgeous, Zhao Xin licked his face and begged Xu You to give him a poem. He had mentioned it to the winter solstice many times before, and Xu You was still wondering at that time, why are you a businessman obsessed with poetry? After seeing his two precious daughters who were just at the right age, Xu You of course understood who the person who really wanted to ask for poetry was, so he groaned a little and said with a smile: "I haven't written poetry for a long time, tonight Meng Saburo is entertained, wine helps poetry, and I am ugly!" ”
Zhao Xin was overjoyed, personally went to bring pen, ink, paper and inkstone, and ordered the eldest daughter to come over to study ink, and the younger daughter was a paperweight. Xu You smiled and thanked him, held the pen and stood quietly for a moment, when the moonlight was sprinkled on his shoulders, as bright as a jade tree in the wind, indescribably chic and graceful, he stretched his wrist lightly and wrote:
When does the moon come to the blue sky? I'll stop and ask for a glass today.
People can't climb the bright moon, but the moon walks with people.
It is as bright as a flying mirror, and the green smoke is extinguished.
But seeing that the night came from the sea, Ning knew that Xiang Yun did not.
The white rabbit pounds medicine in autumn and spring, who is Chang'e's neighbor in solitude?
Today's people don't see the ancient times and the moon, but this month once looked like the ancients.
If the ancients and the present people are flowing water, they will see the bright moon together.
I hope that when the song is against the wine, the moonlight shines on the golden bottle.
Zhao Xin is a businessman, it is too vulgar to write about the prosperity of wealth and business, if for his two daughters, it is too much to write some love and love flowers before the moon, but to write friendship poems, if they spread, in this era of clear classes, it will bring a lot of trouble to Xu You. Therefore, in this situation, it is just the right time to ask the wine to the moon, not to talk about human affairs, which not only does not embarrass Zhao Xin, but also allows Xu You to avoid worries.
"Good, good poetry!"
Zhao Xin hurriedly praised wildly, and secretly looked at his eldest daughter's face while praising it. His eldest daughter had read for a few years, and she had a little talent, and she knew better about the quality and quality of poetry than her father.
The eldest daughter's delicate body trembled slightly, staring at the paper intently, although she had heard of the name of the night Yiguang, and was praised by Shilin as the poetry of Jiangdong, but she didn't see it with her own eyes and always felt that the rumors were not true. Standing by his side tonight, watching him take out such a stunning poem in an instant, and at the right time, showing his posture of high escape, his pretty face suddenly turned crimson like spring petals, looking at Xu You's wonderful eyes and charming eyes, as if there were thousands of styles that had nowhere to say.
The youngest daughter doesn't know poetry, but she understands words, she loves calligraphy since she was a child, and she sees Xu You's word reaction is more exaggerated than that of her eldest daughter, and her body is almost about to pounce on the case, and she pokes out her hand as if she wants to touch it, and she is afraid that the ink has not dried, and she has stained the only good words in the world.
Just looking at the reaction of the two daughters, Zhao Xin didn't understand, and immediately shouted and ordered someone to put away the ink scroll, and carefully told the receiving study to be put away, no one should touch it, and those who violated the order were severely punished.
Seeing that Zhao Xin was still going to persuade him to drink, Xu You threw away the pen, held his forehead and muttered drunk, Qingming held his arm from the side, and said: "The contemptible master is not strong enough to drink, I think it's better to disperse!" ”
"I was negligent!" Zhao Xin's face was full of apologies, and he led the way in front of him diligently, and said, "Hurry up, make sobering soup for Xu Langjun...... The two gentlemen are invited here, please here! ”
After entering the elegant house, closing the door, Qingming smiled and said: "Lang Jun tried his hand a little, but he made the two girls of the Zhao family unconscious, don't you want to emulate Empress E's daughter and be eclectic?" ”
Xu You sat on the bed, closed his eyes and said, "What nonsense, Zhao Sanlang treats me honestly, how can he covet someone's daughter?" ”
"In my opinion, if Lang Jun is interested, Zhao Sanlang is afraid that he will be desperate......"
Xu You sneered, shook his head and ignored him. There was nothing to say all night, and the next day, the sky was just dawning, Xu You got up to say goodbye, Zhao Xin couldn't stay, made an appointment for another meeting, and reluctantly said goodbye.
When he returned to Mingyu Mountain, he told Zu Xiao that he had found a carpenter and a blacksmith, and the Tiangongfang also allocated him enough money and manpower to strive to take shape within two months and build the first four-wheeled carriage within half a year. After finishing all this, the winter solstice suddenly came to the newspaper, saying that someone under the mountain was clamoring to debate the interpretation of "Spring and Autumn" with Xu You.
Xu Youqi said: "Who is coming?" ”
Dong Solstice's little face was almost dripping, and he said: "This person's name is Wei Wuji, and he came to Mingyu Mountain a few years ago, saying that he heard that Xiaolang was in retreat in "Spring and Autumn Justice", so he asked Xiaolang to debate "Spring and Autumn", but I politely declined and invited him out. Later, I came three times in a row, and it was polite at first, but gradually he spat out wild words, slandering Xiaolang for selling his reputation and reputation, but in fact, he had no ink, so he avoided it, and did not dare to argue with him face to face......"
Xu You smiled: "I'm afraid this person is here to touch porcelain...... You didn't look up where he came from? ”
"Touching porcelain?" Dong Solstice didn't understand what Xu You meant, but he was not in the mood to ask at the moment, so he replied hatefully: "How can you not check?" Wei Wuji's family is in Linhai County, an ordinary scholar, and he has a small name in the county, and his literary and poetic talents are not outstanding, but he likes to study "Spring and Autumn". ”
"Oh?" Xu You held a copper teaspoon and gently stirred the tea leaves in the cup, these raw teas are too astringent in the mouth, which is a great damage to the sense of taste. Or was it instigated? Have you found out? ”
Dong Solstice admired: "Xiao Lang is really a god, I thought that I would say it and scare Xiao Lang...... Wei Wuji somehow hooked up with Lu Xu, and the two were in harmony with each other, and they had been very close in the past two years. This time I went up the mountain to make trouble, first, to make a name for myself, and second, I am afraid that it was for the personal grudge between Xiaolang and Lu Xu back then. ”
I haven't heard the name Lu Xu for a long time, since the reputation of Qiantang Lake Yaji was discredited, Lu Xu has been studying behind closed doors in recent years and rarely appears in public. Xu You originally thought that he cultivated his mind and temperament, maybe he would be blessed by misfortune, and his knowledge would go to a higher level. Now it seems that the dog can't change its eating, and secretly thinks about revenge, but he learns a little smarter, and knows that he doesn't come forward and encourages others to make murderous knives!
"What did its wings say?"
"I looked angry, I wanted to rectify him, but I was afraid that humiliating the scholar would affect Lang Jun's reputation, so I let him bully him, there was no way to ......" Dong Solstice pouted and said: "His wing Langjun doesn't know what's going on, I asked him for an idea, he only smiled and didn't speak, and he didn't let him deal with the madman, and he also told me to spread the news that the person came to challenge, and now everyone in Yangzhou knows that Xiao Lang avoids Wei Wuji, and the reputation of that dog thing is getting louder and louder!" ”
"Pigs, kill them when you're fattened." Xu You laughed, his eyes were as clear as winter snow, and said, "Although Qiyi is a monk, he is more knowledgeable than a butcher!" ”
"So, I'll drive him away?"
Xu You threw the teaspoon, clapped his hands, and said, "Isn't this hospitality?" Come, I'll see him! ”
"Good!" The winter solstice has been so angry with Wei Wuji that he can't see his smiling eyes for most of the year, and said, "I'm just waiting for Xiaolang to teach him a lesson!" ”
When I first saw Wei Wuji, Xu You had a good impression, wearing a green shirt, clean and clean, and a long and delicate person, if it wasn't for Lu Xu's instructions, just for "Spring and Autumn", then you might as well make a friend.
"Wei Langjun, I heard that you have come to the door several times, I don't know about retreat, I'm really sorry!"
Wei Wuji's face was calm, and there was an indescribable arrogance in his indifference, and he said, "Xu Langjun has been in retreat for a year, can you allow him to read the masterpiece?" ”
"Straight to the point, I appreciate Lang Jun's straightforwardness!" Xu You smiled and said: "But no incense and no worship of the Buddha, I have worked hard for many years, and it took a year to complete...... Hehe, I will suffer any loss, but I will not suffer a dumb loss! ”
"Dumb and ......" Wei Wuji recited silently three times before he understood what Xu You meant, and he was furious, and said: "What a reputation for Yiguang in the dark night, I still think that my bearing is different from ordinary people, and I am actually a person with a small belly and chicken intestines." With your own heart, save the belly of others, ridiculous and ridiculous! So, farewell! ”
Xu You smiled and said, "Don't send it!" ”
After walking a few steps and remembering Lu Xu's words, Wei Wuji slowly stopped, his chest rose and fell sharply, and then he turned around, his face was slightly gloomy, and said: "Xu Langjun, I don't have any other intentions, it's just that I have been reading "Spring and Autumn" hard for ten years, and there are still many things that I don't understand, and I want to humbly ask Lang Jun for advice." ”
"Really?" Xu You got up and walked up to Wei Wuji, a hint of ridicule appeared at the corner of his lips, and said, "I just praised you for being straightforward, and this will start to be wrong." Wei Langjun, if you want to avenge Lu Xu, it is clear that I am not a cowardly person, so I should give you a chance. But if you're playing tricks, I'm really not interested in playing with you in the city of your little kid's house, do you understand? ”
Dong Solstice stood aside, almost screaming when she heard it, and sure enough, Xiaolang was the most relieved, she couldn't think of these cruel words.
"You! You! ”
Wei Wuji's face was pale, and he was slightly frightened in his heart, this was Xu You's place, if he sent a few fierce gods and evil tribes to hurt him, what would it be?
But after thinking about it, if Xu You really dares to make a move, it will be right in the middle, and when Lu Xu raises his arms, he will seize this point to arouse Shilin's anger, and he will definitely not be able to eat and walk around. Turning his heart sideways, he tilted his head and said coldly: "What? Xu Langjun is afraid that I will expose your "Spring and Autumn Justice" as a trick to fool the world? Since the cross poem has been sung all over the world, "Sandu Fu" Yangzhou paper is expensive, but Lang Jun has no poems and no more Fu circulated, and outsiders are all saying that Xu Lang is talented, is it not true? ”
Xu You shook his head and said: "The radical method is useless to me, so let's do it, I will go to Wu County tomorrow to visit Gu Fujun, if you really want to argue with me about "Spring and Autumn", you can come to the door in five days and wait, but you can call all your fox friends and dog friends, so as not to lose and not admit it, and then come to Mingyushan to make noise." Remember, there is only one opportunity, if you can't seize it, dare to appear in front of me in the future," his expression was calm, but his eyes were full of murderous intent, and said: "I heard that there are a few bandits in Linhai County who are very troublesome, and Wei Langjun has a mother, a wife and a concubine, five brothers, seven children, and more than a dozen nephews, don't have any mistakes." ”
"You! How do you know about my family......" Wei Wuji's hands and feet trembled, and his handsome face suddenly turned pale, and he couldn't even speak.
Xu You smiled, like the sun melting the first snow, but in Wei Wuji's eyes, he was no different from a demon. Turned around and walked to the side room, and said, "Winter solstice, send off!" ”
Dong Zhi walked up to Wei Wuji with a smile and said, "Wei Langjun, please, five days later, Wu County will wait." Don't come, if you don't come, you may break your neck when you walk at night......"
Wei Wuji was frightened, where would he dare to stay any longer, this Mingyu Mountain has beautiful scenery, but there is a group of ghosts living there, he shuddered, and immediately went down the mountain, not even daring to turn his head.
As for how he discussed with Lu Xu after he came down the mountain, that was his business, and no one would take the words that threatened him seriously, no third party was present, and he couldn't do anything. However, Xu You believes that Lu Xu will definitely seize this opportunity, for him, the way to deal with Xu You in Yangzhou, black and white, is really not too much.
Early the next morning, Xu You took He Wei and Qingming to Wu County by boat, and it was reasonable that he should go to visit Gu Yun. Gu Yun's marriage should have been held in March last year, and later because Lu Weiyang's mother was seriously ill, the marriage was helplessly postponed, and when his mother recovered, it was rescheduled for February this year, but Xu You said that it was a retreat at the time, but in fact it was lurking in Heming Mountain, Gu Yun actually waited for Xu You to come out of the customs on the grounds of waiting for Gu and Lu's two families to postpone the wedding for another five months, and finally set it in July this year. It is rumored that Gu Yun's father was furious and made an appointment with Gu Yun, no matter whether Xu You was present or not, the wedding must be held as scheduled, and if there is any pushing, he will be severely punished by clan rules.
Xu You cherished and was very touched by this clean and flawless friendship, so after he returned, he arranged everything at home and immediately set off for Wu County to meet Gu Yun.
Not only for the old days, but also for congratulations!
