Chapter 359: Getting to the point
Also spend the winter quietly asking for away, and in the blink of an eye it was Chinese New Year's Eve. / "After experiencing a drought and a full disaster, the people of Hangzhou are eager to have a better future in the new year.
Sweeping dust, inviting God, sacrifices, from time to time there are bursts of loud firecrackers in the streets and alleys of Hangzhou City, the sound of crackling abacus and the sound of frustrated accounts in small shops and shops, mixed with laughter everywhere, one after another, full of ears, interwoven into the joyful music of Chinese New Year's Eve.
When midnight on Chinese New Year's Eve, an instant. Firecrackers thunder like thunder in the sky, the bells of temples and Taoist temples outside the city also ripple one after another, and the people's homes also build a prosperous fire in the courtyard to show that the coming year is prosperous and prosperous, and to dispel the mildew of previous years.
At this time, the house is brightly lit, the court is full of brilliant fireworks, and the outside of the house is the earth-shattering sound. Around the blazing fire, whether it is the adults who keep vigil or the children who are unwilling to sleep peacefully, energetic children, they all sit around the fire, and jointly wish this year a bumper harvest, a safe year, and prosperous fortune...
At the end, the family began to drink Tusu wine, the procedure is a little special, ordinary people drink, always from the elders to raise a glass, but drinking Tusu wine is just the opposite, starting from children. It is probably because the palace means that the younger ones grow up day by day, and they drink first to congratulate, while the older ones live a year and a year less. After drinking, to show saving, stay.
The night passed, before the sky was dark, the chickens did not crow, and strings of firecrackers were lit in front of every house. From time to time, the streets and alleys are paved with a layer of confetti, broken red all over the ground, bright as clouds, if it is in the future generations, it will definitely be issued a few tickets. And ordered to clean up quickly, so as not to affect the appearance of the city, but in ancient times, this is said to be full of red, full of vitality, no one can sweep indiscriminately, move, just prepare to eat the master's broom.
On the first day of the Great Eastern Middle School, there is an extremely important activity. That is, the new friends and neighbors congratulate the New Year, wish the New Year a good wish, greetings and New Year's greetings, this is a traditional custom that has lasted for thousands of years, it is a way for people to say goodbye to the old and welcome the new, and express good wishes to each other, and it is also the favorite of many children, because they can get a lot of money at that time.
However, if there are too many neighbors and friends. But it's also a troublesome thing, after all, the doppelganger has no skills. Especially those who travel widely, friends can not be counted, if you go around to visit the New Year, it is time-consuming, but also energy-consuming, and you will definitely not visit them one by one, but even if you talk about relatives and distance. On the bright side, you can't favor one over the other,
Naturally, this is not difficult for the wise ancients. Perhaps thanks to someone's accidental behavior, seeing that he couldn't pull away, he had an idea, so he sent a servant to go to pay New Year's greetings on behalf of him with a card with congratulatory words written on it
Many.
Every New Year's moment, the streets and alleys are full of pieces flying, empty cars go away, therefore, some large families set up a special door book, in order to record the guests' comings and goings and flying films, and from time to time can hear the gate yard reciting loudly: "There are guests, four people, one of them is a hundred-year-old lady, living in a hundred-year-old lane, and the other is rich and Yu Lao, living in Yuanbao Street; The third is not a very large person, living in the university scholar archway; The fourth blessing shines on the lord and lives in the five blessing building
Of course, in some places, there will never be this kind of auspicious thing, such as in front of the Qiantang County Ya, the sky is white and crowded with guests who come to celebrate the New Year, bustling, crowded, very lively.
"In the sound of firecrackers, the spring breeze sends warmth into Tusu. Thousands of households always replace the new peach with the old one. ”
"Good poetry, apt."
"Chuzhi County's new work is really extraordinary, big hair
Knowing that Chu Zhen was not there, he went to pay New Year's greetings to Taishou. The visitors did not return disappointed, and chose to stay and wait, and commented on the poems hanging in the hall, and the flattery was impassioned, overflowing, and echoing, as if others would not hear it.
At the same time, the Zhizhou Yamen is also a noisy and lively scene, however, it is just lively outside the door, although it is like a tide, and the cars and horses are like dragons. But under Fan Zhongyan's strict order, no one dared to let these visitors in, in fact, the visitors also knew Fan Zhongyan's temperament, and knew that most of the visits would be fruitless, but it was the intention to come, and it was a matter of attitude if they didn't come.
However, there are exceptions to everything, just like Chu Zhen, led by a government official, went around to the back door of the state government, and walked directly from the backyard corridor to the study of the inner house, Fan Zhongyan sat safely, holding a beautifully made book in his hand that vaguely exuded a faint fragrance of ink. Concentrate on reading silently, as if savoring, unaware of the arrival of Chu Qian.
Don't dare to disturb, after Chu Qian's salute, he quietly stood aside and waited patiently.
I saw Fan Zhongyan flipping through the book page by page. It seems to have been deeply intoxicated and time has passed. After a while, he slowly closed the book, muttered for a while, and then raised his head slightly, his forehead was slightly furrowed, and he stretched out his hand to signal: "Since the evil is coming, you don't have to be formal, sit down and talk." ”
Chu Zhen hurriedly arched his hand and sat down lightly. The butt only occupies half of the chair, and he sits upright. With a look of respectful listening, this trip is not only to pay New Year's greetings to Fan Zhongyan, but also has other purposes, that is, for the matter of the poetry collection, he did not pass Fan Zhongyan's review and approval, although it is his own book, but he does not dare to publish it in the world at will.
"It's just a first draft, why is it so well-printed?" Fan Zhongyan stroked the pages of the book lightly. There seemed to be a little displeasure on his face, he frowned slightly, and said softly: "It cost a lot of money." ”
Under the guidance of Fan Zhongyan, Chu Zhen finally finalized his poetry collection after several deletions and additions, and only after passing Fan Zhongyan's final review, he could let the printing society proofread and typeset and print.
Chu Zhen was stunned when he heard this, his eyes fell on the poetry collection, since it was a gift to Fan Zhongyan, it must be the most beautifully made, whether it was the cover, or the paper, even the ink used to print the book, it was also carefully selected, using the priceless Pan Gu ink, not to mention the intrinsic value of the book, that is, the cost of production was more than 100 times. It belongs to the likes of wealth and luxury.
was kind-hearted, but he forgot that Fan Zhongyan was born poor, and his personality was diligent and thrifty, and if it was an ordinary book, something like this would definitely not be pleasing to the eye. Moreover, according to the current concept, the printing of books is funded by oneself, and books are the carrier of preaching and teaching and solving doubts, so they should be simple and unpretentious in people's impressions.
After hesitating for a moment, Chu Zhen lowered his head and admitted: "It is indeed worth a lot of money, a book, and it costs about 100 yuan." When he saw Fan Zhongyan, he raised his eyebrows angrily, and hurriedly added: "It's just a copy."
It's also true, even so, it can also make Fan Zhongyan dissatisfied in his heart, and said in a tone of hatred: "Just for a book." But it cost nearly 100 yuan, which is really "poor and extravagant." ”
I don't blame Fan Zhongyan for this, I think that he was able to divide the bowl of cold porridge into states in order to study Buddhism. Child. Even if the official fortune is prosperous in the future, he will be a very popular minister. But the nature of the risk has not changed, how can he be happy when he hears that Chu Zhen is so extravagant.
It's also strange that Chu is unlucky, the manuscripts that I used to show Fan Zhongyan were all white drafts written by pen, and after tossing for a long time, I finally got Fan Zhongyan's approval, so I rushed to officially print it out to see the effect and make the final finalization. Momentarily excited, ill-conceived, bumped into the muzzle.
"Etiquette, rather than luxury, rather frugality."
"You must know that the sage's scraping, eating and drinking, bending the brain and pillowing, enjoy it."
"A spoonful of food, a scoop of drink, in the ugly and... This is the way of the sage
Originally, it was a wasteful act of teaching Chu quality. But slowly rising to the level of thrift and thrift, self-cultivation and virtuousness, Chu Zhen did not dare to refute, only obediently submissive, bowed his head and admitted his mistakes, although he was a little wronged, but he couldn't clearly tell Fan Zhongyan that in fact, the printing society is his own industry, and it didn't cost much to print books, and this is still an investment, and the profit is still behind, but you must know. At that time, there was a ban on eunuchs not engaging in business in the imperial court, and the consequences of speaking out may be even more tragic.
was so unable to raise his head, but Chu Zhen didn't have much grievance, after all, thinking about it from another angle, this is also a manifestation of deep love and responsibility, and his heart suddenly felt a little more relieved, for a long time, he felt that Chu Zhen's attitude of admitting his mistakes was acceptable, so Fan Zhongyan waved his hand, as if he had the intention of letting him retreat.
Chu Zhiru was amnesty, secretly relieved, he had already put the purpose of this trip behind him, and was about to turn around and leave with a respectful fist salute, but he heard Fan Zhongyan say lightly: "Except for luxury, let's not talk about it." The book is barely readily available
"What does Taishou mean"? Chu Zhen had a little joy on his face.
"If there are no other problems, then print the world."
”
With a joyful mood, the end of the state government visit trip, Chu quality back to the Ya, winding paths, the long corridor turns, the vast garden rockery, Zhulan pavilion comes into view, in the courtyard of the county government, the Spring Festival, the outdoor snow melts, the cold has not disappeared, but here is a lively feast scene, arsenic staggered, thunderous joy, after all, the visitors are the famous and promising Fushen Shizi in the city of Hangzhou, the county is not there, naturally Liu Renzhi came forward to entertain.
In front of the courtyard is placed a wide circular stage, surrounded by sarongs, brocade quilts, and several copper stoves are placed at each of the four corners, and agarwood smoke rises from the furnace. Slowly drifting away, covering the pavilion with a light gauze mist, the fragrance is all over the place, the smoke is swirling, like a fairyland on earth, there are several delicate and graceful women on the stage singing and dancing, looming in the cigarettes, like a Lingbo fairy.
Enjoying the world's delicacies in his mouth, looking at the fairy in the sky, what a pleasure, the guests were naturally intoxicated, and did not notice that Chu Zhi had returned to the ya.
Seeing this, Chu Zhen said a few words to the servant, and quietly turned around and walked into the corridor. Preparing to return to the inner house, he only took two steps, but suddenly heard a pleasant voice behind him say: "Lord Zhixian is back, let the slave family wait... First"
The eyebrows are picturesque, the body is graceful, and the splendid clothes are simple and capable, and when I saw Chu Zhen turn around, his face was flooded with two dimples of appropriate depth, and he immediately rippled out of the intoxicating charm that was as boundless as the wind and the moon, but it was recently. The famous Luojia Theater loves Luo Xiaoxian.
"Something?" Seeing Luo Xiaoxian trimming her mane charmingly, pursing her lips and nodding with a smile, Chu Zhen subconsciously looked to the side, there were only a few servants nearby who were busy with their heads bowed, ready to serve wine and tea to the guests, and did not pay attention to the situation here, but after thinking about it, he still said softly: "Come with me." ”
Chu Zhen didn't wonder how Luo Xiaoxian could appear here, after all, with the current popularity of the Luo Yuan people, if they were not invited to perform during the banquet, no matter how lively the banquet was, in the eyes of everyone. It's still going to be a lot inferior.
I found a secluded room in the corridor, pushed the door in, and when Luo Xiaoxian came in, Chu Zhen closed the door casually, and took a few steps forward to open the opposite door and window, but outside the window was the scenery of the courtyard of the inner house, the weeping willows were low, the pond was rippling, and the charming scenery came to the face.
Then he took out a pot of warm tea from the house. He took out two beautiful cups, poured a cup for Rosin, and filled one cup himself. Then he picked up the teacup and tasted it leisurely.
Luo Xiaoxian saluted softly and thanked him, and sat down elegantly. Stretching out her white hand from the sleeve, holding the cup and covering her sleeves to drink, the sunlight outside the window projected in, outlining her Chu Chu moving face into a piece of enchanting, watery lips glowing with bright light, full and sexy, vaguely exuding a mature woman's body fragrance, the eyes seem to be intentionally or unintentionally fat, with a flattering demeanor, the whole body is full of an inexplicable temptation.
Looking at it from Chu Zhi's point of view, Luo Xiaoxian's long hair was draped over her rounded shoulders, the fitted dress completely outlined her mature and plump curves, and the pair of plump soft peaks couldn't stop rising and falling with her breathing, full of the rich and sexy of a mature woman.
Chu Zhi was a little unnatural by her charming style, and the bursts of orchid-like fragrance continued to enter his nose, which made him even more uncomfortable, and his body was slightly leaning back, coughing lightly, and said, "Luo Niangzi." But is there a reply from Jin Yu? ”
Sensing Chu Zhi's flying gaze, Luo Xiaoxian's face slowly flushed, and she was even more charming and charming, but she felt a little proud in her heart, and heard this. Suddenly there was silence, and his face seemed to be a little gloomy. But in an instant, he smiled, and the light was overflowing. Ying smiled and said: "It's only been a few days, and the adult's letter may have only reached Yu'er's hands, where is there a reply so quickly." ”
"That's just as well." Chu Zhen was a little disappointed in his heart, his face was not revealed, and he was guessing in his heart what Luo Xiaoxian was looking for him, but suddenly, he saw her get up gently, walked to the window, looked at the scenery outside, and her voice seemed to be a little gloomy: "My lord, in two days." The slave family is leaving. ”
"Oh" agreed, reacting, this go seems to have other meanings, Chu Zhen frowned and asked, "Go?" Where to? Are you going to leave Hangzhou? ”
Hearing a little concern, a smile flashed across Luo Xiaoxian's face, and she quietly turned around and said with a smile: "Thanks to the care of adults, Luo Yuan has been able to come back to life, and it is much more beautiful than before."
This is not Luo Xiaoxian's pretended praise, taking the opportunity to send a letter to Chu Zhen and Bai Jinyu, he asked Chu Zhen for the scripts of a few new plays, which were very popular with the people, especially some theater troupes will not be fixed in one place, and they learned a few new plays in Hangzhou. and performed in other places, and the fame of Luo Yuan was spread by them, and it was not limited to Hangzhou.
"Getting to the point." I heard too many words of gratitude. Chu Zhen was already a little impatient.
