Chapter 122: Mid-Autumn Night
Jinling, Zhangfu!
On the edge of the pool in the back garden, Zhang Xuanji was teasing the two geese, Qingzhi came from outside, held a greeting post in her hand, walked closer, and whispered: "Zhan Wenjun of Guofu wants to see the girl......"
are all in the circle of celebrities in Jinling, Zhang Xuanji's reputation belongs to the dilapidated kind, and everyone will cover their mouths and hide their faces and laugh twice when they mention it. First, the yin and yang fish face looks really terrifying, especially if she is born as a woman, such a look can neither marry nor hinder the view, but I don't blame others for despising it; Second, the oral marriage contract between Zhang Xuanji and Gu Yun is not a secret thing, after being withdrawn, Gu Yun married Lu Weiyang, with a beautiful appearance, compared with the two, it seems that Zhang Xuanji is sad and lamentable. With these two points, even though she came to Jinling from Wu County, Zhang Xuanji still did not escape from the fate of being ugly, and became the object of everyone's discussion and gossip, but for her, these are all light and light external affairs, which are not worth mentioning at all, others are willing, that is someone else's business, and it is insignificant.
Zhan Wenjun is different, although she is a widow, she has not passed through the door and lost her husband, and she has not married for many years, and no one can find fault with her. The appearance was not very beautiful in the eyes of the people at that time, which means that there is no great threat to the other girls in the circle, plus the legs are long and tall, they look heroic, and they are good at dancing with long sleeves, shrewd and capable, and they are well organized inside and outside the Guo Mansion, which is well-known and has a good reputation.
However, Zhan Wenjun and Zhang Xuanji have never intersected, and this time they suddenly came to the door, and they didn't know why they came. Qing Zhi hesitated for a moment and said, "When Xu Langjun first arrived in Qiantang, it seems that he had a relationship with Zhan Wenjun......
Zhang Xuanji got up, patted the water stains on his hands casually, his eyes were as clear as a glimpse, and he chuckled: "What are you doing in a daze?" Please! ”
There are many miscellaneous things in Mingyushan, although Xu You rarely interferes, but he can't really be the shopkeeper. The Qingque tongue that was pulled to Wu County originally wanted to use Gu Yun's wedding to open up his fame, so that the scholars who were good friends would be touted and touted, and he would be sold out immediately. It's just that the plan can't catch up with the changes, the festive wedding has become a blood-stained hell, Xu You no longer has a heart and lungs, and he can't stand on someone else's corpse and sell his own tea, so he has to find the right opportunity again.
The opportunity soon came, at the beginning of August, the yin gradually aggravated, this era has not yet the Mid-Autumn Festival, there is no habit of appreciating the moon and writing poems, people are only August 15, and it is August 14. When he got up in the morning, Xu You hugged the ugly slave, turned cinnabar into water, and then dipped a little with his index finger and put it on his forehead, which was called Tianzhu.
It's not a big holiday, it's just a good luck. The ugly slave was a little disgusted with the cinnabar on his head, and said with a bitter face: "Xiaolang, what is this?" Cool, sticky, not good! Not good! ”
"Ha, Chinese has improved a lot recently, I'll give you a gadget later, it's a reward!" Xu You scratched her nose, and the ugly slave burrowed his little head into his arms, and said coquettishly: "Xiaolang...... You're making fun of me again! ”
Xu You said with a smile: "Okay, to be serious, this cinnabar is a good thing, pure heart, peace of mind, but evil and evil, the most powerful." Ning Changyi you know, Yangzhou Zhi's sacrificial wine, the magic is vast, not long ago there was a Taoist named Liu Da, a mouse came to the bed in his sleep, holding Liu Da's middle finger and gnawed, Liu Da woke up and drove away the mouse, felt that this was a great omen, so he went to the crane Ming Mountain to ask for Ning Changyi's door. Ning Changyi said that this rat has cultivated to become a refinement, and he will only take advantage of your body after biting you to death, and after speaking, he used cinnabar to draw a spell on Liu Da's right hand ulnar vein......"
The ugly slave listened attentively, but was a little afraid, and showed two small eyes from his arms, and asked curiously and frightenedly, "And then?" ”
After returning home, when it was night, Liu Da was asleep. The mouse crawled over again, and was about to bite it, but it was frightened by cinnabar, and struggled for half a night, and finally died. ”
"Huh?" The ugly slave jumped to the ground from Xu You's arms, covered his forehead with both hands, rolled his eyes, stared cautiously, and said, "I want to protect this kind of treasure well......"
"Poof!"
Dong Zhi, who pushed the door in, just heard this, and couldn't help laughing: "Xiaolang, how can you arrange people behind your back?" If Ning Changyi knows, he may not be able to jump his feet? ”
Xu You behaved very manly, snorted, and said, "This is a compliment to her, I don't dare to say it in person!" Have you counted all the things sent by the Gu family? ”
"Well, the Gu family is so generous this time, and in the name of donating to build the Xuanji Academy, they sent so much property to Xiaolang, roughly calculated, about 10 million yuan......"
This is to thank Xu You for saving his life in Beiguli, and I am afraid that he will be elegant and elegant, so he will refuse to accept it, so he pretends to donate in the name of building the academy.
Xu You said with a smile: "The Gu family still doesn't know me very well, and I won't refuse to send money and things." Go, get the jade pendant from the gift list. ”
There are three valuable jade pendants in Gu's thank-you gift this time, whether it is north and south, or Chu Wei, although gold and silver are in short supply, after all, there is still a price, as long as you are willing, you can exchange it. But jade is different, jade is an endangered species with no price, unless the family is big, and it is almost impossible for idlers to want to get good jade.
This is three pieces of Shangheng jade, Xu You took one of them, into a hook cloud, carved on both sides of the turtle and waves, carved with gold, warm, transparent and shiny, hanging on the neck of the ugly slave, smiled: "Send you!" ”
Su Xi Ugly Slave has been wandering around the world with Yu Su since he can remember, where has he ever seen such a thing, he suddenly couldn't put it down, turned over and over again, obviously loved it.
Dong Solstice stabbed the ugly slave's waist and said in a low voice: "Silly girl, why don't you thank Xiaolang for rewarding?" Jade pendant is not something that everyone can get......"
The ugly slave shook his head with a smile and said, "I don't thank you, if you thank you, you're an outsider...... Xiaolang said that the family doesn't have to be polite! ”
Xu You smiled: "That's right! ”
Dong Solstice rolled his eyes and said, "Goblin!" ”
Xu You took another one, engraved with phoenix birds and flowing clouds, handed it to the winter solstice, and said, "This is yours!" ”
"Mine?"
Dong Solstice almost couldn't believe his ears, and was stunned for a while before he reacted, and hurriedly knelt down and said in fear: "Xiaolang, the ugly slave is young and innocent, so it doesn't hurt to reward her." I haven't made an inch of success in the past few years, and Bei Guli has failed to find out the enemy's movements in advance, which has put Xiaolang in danger, and it is already Xiaolang's grace if he doesn't punish him, where can he dare to receive such a treasure? ”
"What a treasure this is!" Xu You laughed and said, "As the saying goes, gold has a price and jade is priceless, since it is priceless, it also means that it is worthless, but it is just a sight to behold." It's just right for you girls, take it, it's okay to wear it and play with it, don't worry too much. By the way, there is another one for Si Nian, lest that girl chew her tongue and say that I am biased! ”
Jade is worth a lot of money, but it's really worthless. Especially in this era, most of the jade has entered the stomachs of the dignitaries, I don't know whether it has become a stone in the end, or has become a thing of grain reincarnation, compared with it, it can be collected by three beautiful girls of all sizes and with their own characteristics, and it can be called the best use of things!
Winter Solstice eyes were full of tears, took the jade pendant, hung it around his neck, and put it into his clothes from the neckline, the cold jade pendant touched the skin, as if it still had the residual warmth of Xu You's fingers.
The pretty face of the winter solstice suddenly turned red!
Xu You didn't notice the strangeness of the winter solstice, laughed with the ugly slave for a while, and asked without raising his head, "Where have the guests arrived?" ”
On August 15, the members of the Eight Sons of West Lake arrived at Mingyu Mountain one after another, and that night, Xu You held a banquet in the pavilion on the top of Mingyu Mountain.
"No doubt! No doubt! Jun An: No? Jun An: No? Zhou Yong and Zhang Mo have the most intimate relationship, after many years, mentioning that his eyes are still red, his heart is painful, and he raises his glass high with the intention of wine, and shouts to the moon.
Zhang Mo's body has never been found, some people say that Qiantang Chengpo died in the sea that day, and some people say that he ran away incognito, but no matter what, this five-colored dragon luan, who was once famous in Jiangdong, has completely disappeared from everyone's world, and occasionally he will be pulled out to spit out two mouthfuls of phlegm, and then trampled on a few times, in addition, perhaps only the friends of the West Lake Bazi Society are still remembering him.
Wu Shixing sighed and said, "Don't doubt that he is not my fellow Daoist, may he rest in peace in Jiuquan, and don't be so confused in the next life......
"What did you say?" Zhou Yong said angrily: "I don't suspect that my brother defected to the enemy to save his mother, although he is disloyal to the country, he can serve his relatives but be filial." Others suspect him of insulting him, and he can be forgiven, but who are you and me? Have you forgotten the oath you made on the shore of the West Lake? ”
Wu Shixing smiled bitterly: "It's me who lost my words, Yuan and Mo Wei!" ”
Wang Rong and the others also hurried to round the field, Xu You patted Zhou Yong's shoulder, and said: "There is no doubt that it is not a short-lived person, let's do things well, carry forward the four tones of the rhyme, or there will be a goodbye day in the future, it will live up to the trust!" ”
"Yes!" Zhou Yong burst into tears and said: "Don't doubt what you are thinking, run for the seven-word poem and the four-tone rhyme, and if others are not there, we will complete this matter!" ”
Everyone hasn't seen each other for a long time, although they agreed to get together every March when they formed the society, but then there was the White Thieves Rebellion, which lasted for more than a year, and they were separated from each other, how could they get together? Then Zhang Mo first defected to the enemy and then disappeared, and finally waited for the white thief to calm down, and Xu You retreated for half a year, as if the agreement was invalid. However, the number of meetings was only a handful, but there were many exchanges of letters, and the friendship between them was not lifelong.
Therefore, once Xu You issued a convening order, the other six people all arrived in Qiantang on time, without any delay or prevarication. After three rounds of drinking, Xu You smiled and said: "What do you think is the most romantic thing in the world? ”
Wang Rong was good at wine and said: "The sky is the shining of the wine star, the land is the county of Jiuquan, and the people are determined by the virtue of wine." Yao is not a thousand bells, and there is no way to build peace; Kong is not a hundred goblin, and it is impossible to be holy. If you want to talk about romance, it is natural that the things in this cup are unique! ”
He is a Confucian student, and he also has the ambition to help the world, so he does not leave Yao Shun in his words, and Confucius and Mencius are indispensable.
Du Sheng closed his eyes slightly, shook his head and said, "I thought that the world was full of beauty!" Yan is like jade, waist is like willow, Qingluo tent, how comfortable it is to respect wine! "He is young and amorous, and it is the time for Mu Ai to be a woman.
Everyone laughed, Bao Hu was honest, but he also liked to make fun of Du Sheng, and said: "You, you should also take care of yourself and marry a fierce wife to discipline and discipline!" ”
Du Sheng hurriedly said: "I'll turn my face when I mention this again......"
This is good, the laughter is even louder, Wu Shixing beat his legs wildly, and he was so happy that he almost lay on the eating table.
Xu Youqi said: "What's wrong?" ”
Shen Meng explained: "Junling is being forced to marry by his family, saying that he has passed the age of the weak crown, and he will be a wife and concubine for the family!" ”
Xu You suddenly laughed, the older one was forced to marry, the ancient and the modern are the same, and said, "Do you have a favorite girl?" ”
Shen Meng sighed: "If it is a woman from a good family, it doesn't matter, with the character and appearance of Junling, you can probably get your wish." It's just that he is nostalgic for the land of Qinglou, and he is especially obsessed with Li Xianji, and always says that he will not marry. But I don't want to think about it, how can people like Li Xianji be delusional? ”
Du Sheng said: "How can I say that she won't marry...... It's just that I admire Xianji's singing skills, but I don't covet her beauty......"
Speaking of Li Xianji, Wang Fu and Dong Solstice both sent people to keep an eye on her, wanting to put a long line from her to catch a big fish, but unfortunately Beiguli was besieged that night, and there was a fierce battle in the city, and the people who monitored were distracted, and Li Xianji disappeared. This woman pretended to be sick for a long time, it turned out that she had a plan to get out, she was vicious, she couldn't prevent it, and she had to cut the grass and eradicate the roots in the future.
Xu You persuaded: "Li Xian Jiyan's name is the best in Yangzhou, and it is reasonable for Junling to love it. But on the night of the attack on Wu County, Li Xianji disappeared without a trace, and I was afraid that she would fall into the hands of the Six Heavens thief who came to admire her...... "The implication is that even if Li Xianji does not die, she has become someone else's plaything, and she should completely break her mind."
Du Sheng said gloomily: "The beauty has a thin life, and she can't help it!" Come on, Uncle Gong is right, how can you solve your worries, only Du Kang, the prince drinks it, the world's romantic things, it is really this cup of Chinese and American wine! ”
Then Zhou Yong took the sound rhyme as the merry, Wu Shixing took the lotus flower as the merry, and the rest of the individuals also had their own fingers, and finally Xu You shook his head and said: "The wine is sad, the beauty is white, the poem has advantages and disadvantages, and the flowers are thanks, what you say is just a moment of romance between heaven and earth." "And look up," he pointed to the bright moon hanging high in the night sky, and said, "If you talk about the eternal romance, there is only this bright moon!" I propose, tonight with the moon as the theme, each with his own poetic talents, what do you think? ”
Du Sheng raised his head, his drunken eyes were hazy, and the moonlight gently sprinkled on his face, like Li Xianji's occasional projected eyes, the ripples in his heart rippled with sad waves, and he whispered: "The moon is shining, and the best people are shining." Shu is entangled, and he is quietly tired. What Wei Zhi said is that the turbidity in the world, how can it be compared with this bright moon...... I'll dare to come first! ”
He staggered to his feet, untied his brocade robe, and walked around the pavilion pillar, chanting:
"The bright moon is bright, according to my bed.
I can't sleep with sorrow, and I wander around with my clothes.
Although the guest line is cloudy, it is better to return early.
Wandering alone at home, who to sue!
led back into the room, tears stained clothes. ”
Ten thousand kinds of tenderness, entrusted to non-people, Du Sheng is young, but he has been trapped by love, and there are many lovers in the world, in fact, he is the most pitiful!
