Chapter 11, on the mountain
Pei said that he planned to wait for the day to go out to find out if there was a suitable girl to marry, who thought that Pei Shi listened, but he couldn't help but be annoyed, and immediately scolded: "Jiangdong has its own Shangsi day, all of which are in Qinhuai, but you just went south to Jurong - do you have to wait for the next year?!" "March 3 is already over, you yourself missed the opportunity, I can't wait until next year to talk about marriage for you - I'm so angry that I even changed my title from "Qing" to "Ru".
Pei Gai had no choice but to repeat the preface: "Everything is arranged by my aunt." ”
Pei Shi nodded heavily before turning to leave, but suddenly remembered something, so he asked, "If the daughter of the Nanren, can Wen Yue care?" ”
Pei Gai was slightly stunned, and then replied: "But it doesn't matter......"
In these years, overseas Chinese generally despise the indigenous people of Jiangdong, but to a certain extent, it is also because of the extreme inferiority complex that has been transformed into extreme self-esteem - after all, you occupy other people's fields and industries, and here people are the "master", and you will always be a "guest". In peacetime, although Jiangdong lacks first-class famous families, there are still some second- and third-rate families, and intermarriage between the north and the south is not rare.
In fact, if there is no "Yongjia Nandu", the state of mutual contempt between the north and the south may not necessarily arise, like Lu Ji, Lu Yun, Gu Rong and others, if they accumulate more than ten years of fame in the Central Plains, and their official positions are promoted to the second grade, they will have a good chance to boost the reputation of the family in the south of the Yangtze River, at least it will not be worse than the Liu family in Hedong.
As a soul from two thousand years later, Pei Gai naturally has no prejudices of geography and portals. In his previous life, even the most conservative grandmother in the family only said something like this: "As long as you like, you can marry any daughter-in-law...... As long as it is Chinese. If you dare to ask a foreign wife to come back, see that I don't break your legs! So he answered Pei's question and said that as long as I saw the right eye...... Ah no, as long as you think it's appropriate, aunt, it doesn't matter if you're a southerner or a northerner.
Especially the marriage between the gate valves, it has never been a woman who is low, a low-grade man wants to marry a high-grade woman is a fool's dream, and it is more common for a low-grade woman to marry a high-grade man - even if the door is too far apart to be a wife, you can always be a concubine. Anyway, Pei just hopes that Pei should keep a seed as soon as possible.
Therefore, Pei Shi said that it was just right - "Yesterday, my sister said, Wei Shubao (Wei Jue) is scheduled to summon Danyang Juncai in three days later, in order to climb Zhoushan, go to talk about Xuan, it is said that there will be a lot of girlfriends may as well participate, I will go to ask for an invitation for Qing." ”
——————————
Pei Gai really didn't expect that the soul would be able to catch up with the sorority nearly two thousand years ago......
It's not good for him to refuse Pei's kindness again, and after thinking about it, if he can really be lucky enough to meet a woman who can still be seen, it is better than an arranged marriage that doesn't know what woman Pei's stuffed over, right? So early in the morning two days later, Wei Jue drove an ox cart over, picked up Pei Gai, and the group went north to Zhoushan.
Although it is late spring, summer and summer have not yet arrived, after all, the climate in Jiangnan is warm, Pei should have already changed into a single coat, but looking at Wei Jue, not only did he not remove his jacket, but he also covered a snow-white thin fur outside. Pei Caixin said that you are so afraid of the cold? Or is this white fur worthy of your better looks, so you are reluctant to take it off?
With your brother's body, where are you still climbing? Aren't you afraid that you will never be able to get up again if you fall down in the middle of the road? Ah, Wei Shubao has already come to Jianye, so what year was he "killed"?
Zhoushan is in the northeast of Jianye City, east of Qingxi, north of Xuanwu Lake, water and mountains, excellent scenery, is indeed a good place to go on a trip to Qingye. Of course, more importantly, this mountain is the barrier of the north of Jianye, and the west of the Jilong Mountain is like two fists, arching the north gate of Jianye, so in the Southern Dynasty, this mountain is no longer open to the public, but became a part of the royal garden "Leyou Garden" - as for the Jilong Mountain, it became a royal mausoleum at the beginning of the Eastern Jin Dynasty.
Pei Gai and Wei Jue took an ox cart, wandered around, and soon came to the foot of the Zhoushan Mountain-Jianye City actually included the Zhoushan Mountain, so it was also convenient to use Xuanwu Lake as the outer moat of the north wall, and the north fence gate was opened at the east foot of the Zhoushan Mountain, so they didn't need to go out of the city at all. Raise your eyes and see, frightened, bustling, there are really a lot of people coming, all kinds of ox carts lined up in a long line, which is not inferior to the front of the 4A-level scenic spot in later generations.
Pei should open the door of the carriage, and a servant hurriedly put a small pestle underneath, he stepped on the ground and went down, turned his head to take a look, Wei Jue was still rubbing against it. It seems that the door of the car must be opened first, so that the air inside and outside is less circulating, Wei Er Shao can get used to it, and then the servant will offer the pestle, Wei Er Shao is supported by two boys, coughing, while almost climbing out of the carriage......
Pei Caixin said that you don't want to ride in the car with your bones, walk honestly, and you can breathe a little more fresh air. stepped forward and arched his hand: "Is Uncle Bao okay?" Wei Jueqiang squeezed out a little smile, and said politely: "There is a labor question, the old and chronic illness is fine." ”
One after another, people came to meet Wei and Pei, some Wei Jue knew each other and helped introduce Pei Cai, and some could only report their names. Pei should hear it, hey, almost all the children of the Jiangdong noble family in Jianye City have arrived - the leader is Gu Rong's grandson Gu Zhi, as well as Ji Zhan's grandson Ji You, He Xun's son He Xi, and the other surnames Lu surnamed Shen's surname Zhu's surname Zhang's surname Yu's surname Min surnamed Xue'...... Almost Bi Ji, the noble sons of Danyang, Xuancheng, Wuxing and Wu four counties, and even a few Huiji.
The eldest of these children is only in their early thirties, and the younger ones are only fourteen, fifteen or sixteen, and they all respect Wei Jue - this is to love his appearance, the second is to respect his talent, and the third is to admire his name. Wei Jue is different from Pei Gai, he was praised by his grandfather Wei Qian when he was only five years old, saying: "This son is different from the others, Gu Wu is old, and I don't see his growth ears." When he was a teenager, he rode a sheep cart to the market, and the audience was full of people, all of whom said that he was a "jade man". Wei Jue's uncle Wang Ji achieved the high position of a hussar general, but every time he saw him, he sighed: "Zhuyu is on the side, I feel that I am filthy." He also once said to others: "Traveling with Jue, like a pearl on the side, it shines brightly." ”
Of course, it's not just that he is handsome and smart, but when Wei Jue grew up, he was obsessed with metaphysics, easy to talk about metaphysics, eloquent, and organized, even if many people in the world were indisputable. It is said that Wang Cheng talked to him once, and even sighed, so people at the time said: "Wei Jue talked about it, Pingzi will never fall", and also said that "the three sons of the Wang family are not as good as the Wei family" - the so-called "three sons of the Wang family" refers to Wang Cheng, Wang Ji and Wang Xuan (Wang Yan's son).
So although he is only twenty-seven years old, Wei Jue is already famous all over the world, and how dare the children of Jiangnan Gate Valve despise him? For Pei Gai, who came with them, they generally maintained normal etiquette, and their enthusiasm was far worse than that of Wei Jue. Although the "Southern Raccoon Dog" looks down on the "Beiling", but you have to see how tall the Beiling is, the dignified Pei family's sister-in-law in Hedong, as a casual cavalry attendant, the Marquis of Nanchang County, and recently became the king of the East China Sea as a backer, even if you don't want to be flattering, then there is no reason to face each other coldly and find guilt, right? After all, they are all educated noble children, and their stinky faces are never shown to their subordinates and ordinary people. No matter what you think in your heart, you have to get by on the surface - you have to be polite!
And sure enough, there were a lot of ladies who came, most of them dressed as boudoirs, and only a few were married women. Those married women were all taken by their husbands and introduced to Wei Jue and Pei Gai in person: what is the surname, what is the identity of the mother's family - even the three generations of the mother's family have to show off. As for those girls, they just pointed at them from afar and told them that it was my sister-in-law, my niece, and my niece.
Pei Cai roughly counted it, there were nearly twenty people who attended the meeting, and the number of female dependents brought was not too much, and they were introduced one by one, and they were coaxed for a while, and finally began to discuss the matter of mountaineering. Some people raised their worries, saying that Brother Shubao is so clear, like a willow in the wind, this mountain is not low, can you climb it? Ji You: "Hehe" Yile: "As the landlord, the servant naturally has already made arrangements." ”
- Ji is a native of Danyang Moling, Sima Rui has not crossed east, they live in Jianye City, so they call themselves "landlords".
Seeing Ji You wave his hand, he immediately rushed over from not far away for more than a dozen soft rides, just like the sliding rod that Pei Gai saw in film and television dramas in later generations, the difference is that the passenger must kneel on it, not sit with his legs down. Ji You first arranged for He Yu to take the first ride and open the way first; The second ride was given to Wei Jue, and he followed; The third car asked Pei to go up, but Pei Gai smiled and waved his hand, and politely refused: "I am very kind, but I want to climb this verdant mountain and the peak of premature correction in person, so that it is convenient to watch, and there is no need for this thing." So he stepped forward and marched beside Wei Jue.
The group rushed up the mountain, and before Pei could take a look at the scenery, a person squeezed to his side quickly, his expression and movements were obviously much more flattering than others, and as soon as he opened his mouth, he was "Pei Wangfu". Pei Gai waved his hand: "Today's guests are traveling, why bother talking about false names? "You'd better call me by my name.
When you look closely, this person is tall, with thick eyebrows, big eyes, and a beard, although he is wearing clothes and a small crown, he looks like a martial artist, not a scribe. Pei Gai still has an impression of him, first, this person's appearance is special, second, his surname is prominent, and third, he ...... In terms of family background, he may be the lowest in this group.
This person's surname Wei name follows the word because of it, it is a Huiji person, and Wei Jue Na Hedong Wei has nothing to do with it, the East China Sea scholar Wei Hong in the early years of the Eastern Han Dynasty, and later moved to Huiji, it is said that in the late Han Dynasty and Eastern Wu, there were people who were middle-level bureaucrats, but after entering the Jin Dynasty, there were only a few county officials. Originally, he was not a big family, but he mixed in with his cousin He Yu, although he was actually older than He Yu.
Probably Qi, is He Jun's cousin married Wei Xun's father for the third time and gave birth to Wei Xun's half-brother? Well, in fact, he doesn't have the slightest bit of the blood of the famous He family in his body.
Wei Xun seems to be much more enthusiastic than others, saying that although I am a Huijiren, I have been staying in Jianye with my cousin Zu (He Xun) for a long time...... Brother Wen Yue guided the introduction. So without waiting for Pei to express his approval or rejection, he began to talk endlessly, from the origin of Zhoushan, why it was named, to the types and benefits of a cliff and a stone, a grass and a tree, all of which are well known, and he is indeed a qualified tour guide.
Wei Xun's Zhongzhou dialect has a Huiji accent, and when the two are combined, it sounds like that...... To paraphrase a word in later generations, it is very "er", so Pei should have the right to listen to stand-up comedy, so he said it, and nodded from time to time to encourage him. Wei Xun saw Pei Cai's expression, and couldn't help but get more and more excited as he spoke, until he danced with his hands, but fortunately, he gave his words, and his accent was not too heavy, so even Wei Jue on the soft opinion next to him couldn't help but gradually listen to his mind.
Pointing and talking, he finally came to the top of the mountain. Pei Cai looked left and right, and found that in addition to himself and Wei Xun, as well as those who took advantage of the soft opinion, almost everyone was snorting, all of them were panting-except for Wei Jue, although he took advantage of the soft opinion, his face was still flushed, and he coughed nonstop, and those who didn't know thought he was running up the mountain......
If we talk about the origin of the name of Zhoushan Mountain, Wei Xun just explained very clearly, the southern slope of this mountain is gentle, but the northern slope of Xuanwu Lake is steep as a cut, as if the deck of a ship faces north and the bottom of the ship faces south, and half of it is buried in the soil, so it is named. Wei Xun also said that the mountain is like a boat, it is easy to reason, and it is a sign of great luck, but how auspicious it is, Pei should listen to it casually, and he didn't go to his heart, and he couldn't remember it.
Ji You and Gu Zhi had already arranged for servants to level a vacant land on the top of the mountain, and put a curtain around it - the curtain was surrounded on three sides, and the north facing Xuanwu Lake was open, so that the big guys could enjoy the lake and mountains. Pei Gai stood outside the curtain, but couldn't help but turn his head to look at the place where he came from - the streets under the mountain were scattered, and the houses were lined up one after another, as if Liu Yu and Huan Xuan had fought a battle at the foot of the Zhoushan Mountain a hundred years later to fight for the right to rule Jiankang; If I had landed on the shipwreck, and had garrisoned it, how would I have planned to storm it?
Wei Xun reminded him several times, and Pei Cai reacted and hurriedly returned to the scene. Everyone sat down as guests, Gu Zhi, Ji You, He Yu and others were in the main seat, Wei Jue and Pei should be in the guest seats, and the others accompanied each other on the side - Wei Xun's position was the back, and he was embarrassed to come to the two northerners again. As for the female dependents, although they are in the same scene, they have a separate seat on the side, which can be seen from afar, and if they speak a little louder, I believe they can also hear it.
It's just that Pei Gai had already observed from afar when he was down the mountain, and he really didn't have any interest in these noble ladies. One is that most boudoirs are too young and obviously not fully developed; Second, the aesthetic taste of these years is also very different from what he likes. 8)
