Chapter 90: Blowing Dreams on Xizhou
Remembering the plum down to Xizhou, folding the plum to send the north of the river. The single shirt is apricot red, and the double sideburns are young color.
Where is Xizhou? Two pulp bridgehead crossing. The twilight of the shrike flies, and the wind blows the black tree.
The sea dream is long, and I am also worried. The south wind knows what I want, and blows dreams to Xizhou.
Ten light boats arrived at the shore and docked at the ferry port at the foot of the mountain in turn. Without waiting for the boat to stop, the boatman jumped down quickly, rolled up the trouser legs of his trousers, waded ashore, and tied the rope to the raised stake.
"Don't you have a springboard?" Baek asked.
The boatman shook his head and said, "The boat is small and there is no springboard, so be careful, don't fall into the water." ”
There is still a little distance from the bow of the ship, Xu You is a person who practices martial arts after all, he is agile, he jumped off the boat first, and then helped Zhang Mo, Bai Chengtian, and Chen Qian to come down in turn, and when he waited until Ji Ying, he arched his hand and said, "Don't work hard, I'll come by myself!" ”
After getting off the boat, Ji Ying walked to the front alone, Xu You knew that he had a grudge in his heart, and he didn't care, he stood side by side with Zhang Mo on the shore, the mountain road was rugged, the bluestone winded upward, and the traces were covered by the swaying bamboo sea, I don't know the depth and shallowness, and I was about to discuss whether to set off immediately. There was a noisy voice behind him, and one of them shouted, "Get out of the way, get out of the way!" ”
Xu You turned around and avoided the left side of the road, but Zhang Mo couldn't dodge it, and was hit on the shoulder. He was a weak scholar, with no power to restrain the chicken, he staggered back a few steps, and leaned sideways, if Xu You hadn't grabbed him, he would have almost fallen into the lake.
This group of seven people was the children of the scholar clan sitting on the light boat on the right, and instead of apologizing, they smiled and prepared to climb the stairs up the mountain.
Before Xu You could speak, Ji Ying stopped them and said in a loud voice: "Wait!" ”
The man who walked in front stopped, looked at Ji Ying in amazement, seemed to be unable to believe that someone dared to block his way, and said with a questioning face, "You called me?" ”
Zhang Mo finally stabilized his figure, hurriedly grabbed Ji Ying, wanted to calm things down, and said in a low voice: "Today's Yaji, don't make trouble!" ”
Ji Ying was not afraid, shook off Zhang Mo's hand, and said, "Reading the book of sages, you naturally have to take care of injustices. You bumped into someone, don't think about leaving, you must apologize to Zhang Langjun! ”
"Apologize?" The man glanced at each other, then laughed loudly, and said, "I'm in a hurry to go up the mountain, I don't have time to make noise with you, get out of the way quickly, so as not to miss the time of the Yaji." ”
Xu You watched coldly, this place was located on the west side of Gushan Mountain, except for forty-seven scholars and ten boatmen, no one else could be seen. This man probably also knew that Da Zhongzheng, Gu Yun, Zhu Mingshi and other high-ranking disciples had already reached the top of the mountain, so he was unscrupulous and no longer paid so much attention to words and deeds. Otherwise, if you borrow ten of them, you will not dare to be so rude, and it will reach the ears of Dazhongzheng, and there is no hope for the product in this life.
"Don't let it!"
Ji Ying's face was flushed, and she didn't know if she was angry or nervous. Zhang Mo is not easy to persuade now, after all, others stand up for him, blindly show goodwill, and appear weak and incompetent. What's more, he is a person who has already made a decision, and this time he came to Yaji, if he can be promoted, it is better, but if he can't be promoted, at least he will not be demoted with his knowledge. So if you have no desire, you are strong, and you don't want to involve Ji Ying, so she grabbed his arm, stood in front of him, and said: "Hu Langjun, I am an old acquaintance with Wen Jin Langjun, if he is here, he will be angry when he sees you so domineering!" ”
The man was stunned and said, "Do you recognize my eldest brother?" ”
"Yes, in Xia Zhuji Zhang Mo, he and Brother Wen Jin are friends of poetry and books."
"Huh? Zhang Mo? ”
"It turns out that he is Zhang Mo!"
"Five-Colored Dragon Luan ......"
"It's strange, he has already made a decision, why is he still like you and me today, to endure the cold wind and bumps to cross the river?"
"You don't know this, Zhang Dan and Zhang Chensheng also came to participate in the Yaji today, he is the heart of the Zhang family, and he must go to the mountain ...... Duanjia Bridge."
"I see...... I heard that Zhang Budo and Zhang Chensheng are compatriots of the same mother, but their lives are different, but it is a pity that it is a pity ......"
"That's just one of them. Second, the eight grades that Zhang Mo set two years ago, that is, Xiazhong, are only a little better than Xiaxia, and it is okay to want to climb the mountain from Duanjiaqiao, but you know that the Lu family has always been dissatisfied with Zhang Mo's talent and reputation, and will definitely ridicule him, if I would rather take a boat than be humiliated. ”
There was a lot of discussion among the people, but Xu You listened vaguely, but he was not as confused as before. Zhang Mo Dingli could have climbed the mountain through Duanjia Bridge, but because there was a person he didn't want to see over there, and there were enemies in the literary world, he crossed the same boat with these undetermined and hard-enough backgrounds.
The person known as Hu Langjun hesitated, but in front of everyone, he couldn't be convinced, and said: "If Zhang Langjun hadn't blocked the way, it wouldn't have caused me to crash into it." However, if you are not careful, it is a trivial matter, and for the sake of my third brother, I will not care about you. But what kind of thing is this person, he actually barks and makes a sound, I don't know what to say! ”
This is extremely ugly, it is tantamount to pointing at Ji Ying's nose and scolding him for being a dog barking. Ji Ying subconsciously looked at the corner of the mountain road, a resolute look flashed in his eyes, and then angrily crossed Zhang Mo, pointed at the man surnamed Hu, and said sharply: "The female yellow is from the lip kiss!" I don't want the Holy Son of Heaven to be in the court, but today I see the deer as a horse again! ”
Xu You's heart moved, he moved his steps, came to the right behind Ji Ying, and glanced around the corner in the direction of his sight, although he didn't see anything, but what kind of person he was, he immediately understood.
Listening to Ji Ying's accusation, everyone changed color in unison, and a few people who gathered around the periphery to watch the excitement quietly retreated a few steps. Although the state of Chu rarely sinned against people for their words, scholars were allowed to discuss political affairs by the imperial court. But Ji Ying was quick for a while, and gave Hu Langjun the hat of pointing to the deer as a horse, what kind of dynasty would have the absurd thing of referring to the deer as a horse?
The etiquette collapsed, the debauchery and cruelty, and the Qin Huhai who was destroyed in the second generation!
Don't forget, the current emperor An Zidao is also the second emperor of the Chu State!
Hu Langjun was also startled, angry, stepped forward, grabbed Ji Ying's collar, and said viciously: "You say it again? ”
Ji Ying trembled, but he still shouted in his mouth: "Referring to the deer as a horse, it is seen in the world." Referring to the deer as a horse, it is seen in the world! ”
Zhang Mo hurriedly pulled, but because his hands were weak, he couldn't separate the two, so he hurriedly turned back to Xu You for help. Xu You didn't make a move, but just said lightly, "Gentlemen, don't you want to think about it, why have you been at the bottom of the mountain for so long, but no one has come to pick you up?" Perhaps someone is secretly checking your performance from a high place, the so-called sincerity is in the middle, the form is outside, and the gentleman is cautious. You think that there is no one around, so you are so wandering, I am afraid that you have fallen into a place from which you will never recover. ”
As soon as the words came out, the audience was silent. Hu Langjun froze in place, holding the placket of his clothes, and he couldn't let go, he couldn't advance or retreat, and finally showed his regret. The two companions reacted quickly enough, stepped forward and persuaded him with good words, and dragged him back, Ji Ying was also pulled back by Zhang Mo, and everyone looked around, as if they wanted to find the figure hidden in the dense place of the mountains and forests.
At this moment, several people walked out from the corner of the mountain road not far away, and the first one was the Qiantang County Linglu Hui, looking at the scholars with a gloomy face, followed by two officials, one of whom was holding a fine silk wrapped in red thread, and the other was holding a beautifully made leaky pot.
"Hu Xin, you are bold!"
The man surnamed Hu turned out to be a letter, and hurriedly bowed his head and said, "Meet the Ming Mansion!" The kid was in a hurry for a while, and he lost his manners, and I hope that the Ming Mansion will forgive me! ”
The others also reacted, knowing that the person in front of them was the Qiantang County Order, the owner of today's Yaji, and hurriedly bowed, lest they fall behind.
Lu Hui ignored him, walked up to Zhang Mo, and said with a smile: "You are Zhang Mo?" ”
"It's down there!"
"Okay, Dazhongzheng just asked about you, but I didn't expect you to come by boat."
"On the way down, I was delayed, and I didn't catch up with the opening of the magpie bridge at three o'clock, so I could only enter the mountain from the Xicun ferry at the hour. There is Lao Dazhongzheng and Mingfu care! ”
Entering the mountain from Duanjia Bridge is called crossing the magpie bridge, Xu You shouted when they got on the boat to open the mountain gate, one elegant, one vulgar, and it sounded like a judgment. Regarding this difference between the noble and the low, which exists all the time, Xu You said that he was very helpless and speechless!
Lu Hui nodded, looked at Ji Ying again, frowned slightly, and suddenly stretched out again, and said softly: "You are very good, you are a friend, you have a good character, I will speak for you in front of Dazhongzheng." ”
Ji Ying was overjoyed, bowed down on his knees, and said, "Thank you for the Ming Mansion!" ”
At the foot of the mountain was full of forty or fifty people standing, and he was the only one who knelt on the ground. Although the number of courtesies is not lost, this flattering appearance has aroused the contempt of many people. Of course, there are also many people who are very envious, and being able to make Lu Hui speak well in front of Dazhongzheng is not an opportunity that everyone can get.
Opportunities are hard to find, and if you miss it, you miss it, so the scene seems very weird for a while, half of the people despise Ji Ying, and half of them envy Ji Ying. The world is like this, the reputation is mixed, black and white are inseparable, Ji Ying, who is in the middle, can't take care of so much, for him, when the opportunity comes, he must seize it to death, and he can't let go!
Because, his lifelong dream is determined today!
"But remember one thing in the future, just talk about things, don't exaggerate, grandstand!"
Before Ji Ying's joy faded, he was shocked by Lu Hui's words, broke out in a cold sweat, lowered his head, and said: "Listen to the teachings of the Ming Mansion, and be cautious in your words and deeds in the future!" ”
"Okay, let's get down to business after a long delay!"
Everyone immediately left Ji Ying behind and listened quietly. Xu You secretly said a good way, Lu Hui scolded Hu Xin first, then chatted with Zhang Mo, and gave Ji Ying a stick to a sweet date, and the water wave suppressed this farce without shock, and then announced matters related to Yaji, which successfully diverted everyone's attention and attention.
The whole process seemed to be the harshest on Hu Xin, but in fact, he was pulled out of the quagmire unharmed, not only did not cause people to be disgusted, but also made both parties thank him together.
Xu You has never looked down on Lu Hui, but when he saw it today, he knew that this person could stand out and replace Gu Yun as the commander of Qiantang County, not only to collect money, but also to have some means of being an official.
This is not surprising, many people don't know how to be a person, can't do things, and can't cook, but they are very good at being officials, and even better than those who can be a person and do things.
This is the strange and distorted officialdom, unlike any other industry, there has not been the slightest change for thousands of years, and the rules have always been the same!
