Chapter 171: Xu Weizhi
From Xu Weizhi's pomp, it can probably be analyzed that he is a person, a gentleman, a young man, a grandfather, and a second ancestor...... Adjectives like this are appropriate for him. Writing, Fun, Pavilion www.biquge.info Speaking of Zhang Sixiu, it can be regarded as a kind of gentleman, but the gameplay is different from Xu Weizhi.
Zhang's family heirloom, no matter how domineering the children are, they must also talk about their identity and face, and they must take into account the bottom line when doing things, and many things cannot be done if they want to. Xu Weizhi, a hereditary noble, has been destined to die for most of his life since he was born, and there are not many things he can pursue, and even fewer things to worry about. There is a large distance between him and the serious scribes, and Zhang Maoxiu is worried that Fan Jin will not be able to play with the other party, and it is not unfounded. However, this is also his lack of understanding of Fan Jin, otherwise there would be no such worries.
has been a staff member by Ling Yunyi's side for so long, and he has had a lot of contact with all kinds of people, arrogant and domineering, with a sword in his mouth and a sword in his smile. Officialdom is the most capable of exercising people's communication skills, and in Fan Jin's opinion, Xu Weizhi's style of debratification is actually easier to deal with. Although people may lack wisdom and be a little harder, but except for the love of putting on a scene and liking to put on a show and add no ink to the chest, there are not too many other problems, at least there is no conflict of interest with Fan Jin, and he will not take the initiative to trouble him. This kind of gentleman is always much better than the kind of gentleman who is good but has a black hand behind the scenes.
When they got on the boat, they found that Xu Weizhi was six or seven years older than Fan Jin, and he was also heroic in appearance, but in terms of clothing and demeanor, this person was more pompous, no wonder he didn't get along with the literati. But they are also the children of the eunuchs of the Ming Dynasty, but they have to become friends.
Zhang Sixiu exchanged a few words with him, and Liu Kanzhi responded lukewarmly, Xu Weizhi is a four-sea character, no matter how others treat him, he can always maintain an enthusiastic attitude. First said a few words to the two, then whispered to Zhang Maoxiu, looked around, and asked, "The second brother's son-in-law didn't come?" The sixth sister has been talking about her good sister, but if she doesn't come this time, she will die sadly. ”
"The person came, but the wind blew for a while, and he had a terrible headache, so he went back to the cabin to rest. When I go back and settle down first, it's not too late to see Miss Six. ”
"Oh...... That's good, that's good. The son-in-law is not here, so it is easier for us to talk. Our Jiangning has not produced any talents in the past two years, but there is a powerful character in the Zhushi Building, the nickname is called Sansheng Slow, and it is said that she is a good man, as long as she calls three times, it will be over. And guess what? Grandpa Ben killed her for 300 rounds, and she didn't know how many times she shouted her father, still in the spirit of Ryoma. Now she is obedient to me, and she will do whatever she wants, and let her accompany her when she comes back. She is from the north, Rouge from the North, and it is not the same road as our beauties. ”
Liu Kanzhi coughed a few times, Zhang Maoxiu was already blushing, Zhang Sixiu didn't think it was strange, but listened to it with relish, "This woman is really so powerful?" ”
"That is, the second brother went back and tried it, and he knew that this was true. In addition to her, in recent years, we have really produced several good women in Jiangning, such as the two champions of civil and military affairs selected by the flower list. Wu Zhuangyuan Xue Wu and Wen Zhuangyuan Wang Xuexiao are all first-class outstanding ......"
Liu Kanzhi coughed louder, and Zhang Sixiu's eyes were brighter. "Oh? In the end, it was Jiang Ning, who actually chose the top of the flower list, which is interesting. There is no such activity in the capital, such a woman must be from the Teaching Workshop Division, right? By the way, what about that Sai Xi Shih? Do you want to do it now? ”
"I was good and married a Yangzhou salt merchant to be small. In fact, she is like that, her appearance and talent are at least worse than Wang Xuexiao. Tonight, I called the bureau and called them all, as well as Ge Laiguan from the Sanyuan class, who is also a first-class talent. Their three-yuan class has been very powerful recently, and they have choreographed a new play, the Peony Pavilion, the little lady dressed as Ge Laiguan, called Du What Niang, her eyes flew ...... It's true that people's bones are going to be crisped off. ”
Speaking of this, Xu Weizhi looked around again and asked, "I heard from the slaves and maids who went to Guangdong to run business, Fan Jin Fan Gongzi, who wrote the Peony Pavilion, was on the second brother's boat?" I don't know where I am now, but please invite that son out to speak. He touched the chain on his shirt with his hand, "This Tessie gold watch is really a good thing, my brother-in-law saw it, his eyes were about to fall out, I just wouldn't wear it for him." I have never met to send me such a good thing, am I Xu Weizhi taking advantage of others? Invite him out, I will thank him in person, and then treat him well. ”
"Far away, close at hand. If you get on the boat and talk to us, you won't see it anymore, so I'll rush this one, and I'll punish you justice tonight. ”
In fact, when it comes to Xu Weizhi's identity, it is not interesting for him to know ordinary people or not. Even if those people become officials on the gold list, unless they can go to the top like Zhang Juzheng, it is really impossible to say how much connection there can be with him, the overlord of Nanjing. Therefore, after he got on the boat, he only perfunctory Brother Zhang and Liu Kanzhi, and did not care about Fan Jin, who was close at hand.
When Zhang Sixiu was introduced, he hurriedly apologized and said: "This is really mine, I only admire the name of Brother Fan, I have never seen it, I don't know the true god with my eyes, Fan Gongzi must not be like me." I'm the host. When the time comes, call the outstanding girls in the old courtyard as soon as possible, and then line up the petty officials in each class, and let Brother Fan choose them, and the expenses will be mine, and they should only make amends. ”
Zhang Sixiu said on the side: "Heroic! Thinking back, don't be polite to him, the little grandfather is calling for wind and rain in Jiangning, and there is endless money at home, you just need to spend it and let him break the money. ”
Fan Jin smiled and exchanged a few words with Xu Weizhi, Xu Weizhi said: "Fan Gongzi, there is something this time, I have to ask for your help, you must help with this favor." As long as it is done, even if you want to redeem a popular woman in the old courtyard, it is up to you alone. ”
"The little grandfather doesn't have to be polite, but I don't know where to send?"
"Don't dare to send it, it's really begging for someone. To tell you the truth, when the spring of the next year begins, it will be the forty-ninth birthday of my Gaotang mother. People say that if you do nine, you don't do ten, but when you reach forty-nine, you actually have a whole life. I was thinking about preparing a birthday gift to fulfill my filial piety, and I heard for a long time that Brother Fan was a good hand in Danqing, and he was most famous for painting Xirong in Guangzhou, and he also drew a flat picture for Ling Yunyi. It is said that he chose one of the paintings and sent them to Beijing, and it is still hanging in the Forbidden City. If Brother Fan paints a picture for my grandmother, her old man will be happy, this is also my filial piety, isn't it? ”
Fan Jin nodded and said, "This is an unshirkable matter, and it is only wrapped up in Xiaosheng." It's just that the talent is limited, if the painting is not good, don't worry about the little grandfather. ”
Zhang Sixiu said: "Don't! Don't answer him, the little grandfather's words are not true. Brother Xu Xian, don't talk about yourself like you just finished reading the twenty-four filial pieties, who doesn't know, our Wei Guogong is a famous Ji Chang fetish, and everything in the family is decided by his wife. Do you have any good things in mind and want to ask for money from your old aunt? ”
Xu Weizhi laughed and said: "The parents who gave birth to me, and Brother Zhang, the one who knows me." It's not a secret, it's really itchy to see the peony pavilion of the three-yuan class at Uncle Chengyi's house some time ago, and I want to raise a team at home, and I can pass on the drama if I want to watch it, which is more comfortable than going to someone else's house. My Lao Tzu raised two teams by himself, but we were not allowed to raise them, how can there be such a reason? I had to ask Jiaci to come forward, as long as her old man said something, my father was not allowed to do it? It's just that you have to make her happy first, right? Brother Fan, this matter will have to bother you with a lot of money, and when the matter is completed, it is indispensable to write a pen. ”
Several people were talking and laughing, and they had already begun to disembark. Liu Kanzhi wanted to see his father, so he lived at home. The Zhang family lives in a separate courtyard of the Xu family in Jiangning City.
The generals of the founding heroes of Hongwu were basically killed by Zhu Yuanzhang himself, and when it came to the battle of Jingjing, some of the lords who stood on the wrong side were hit again, and there were not more than one of the founding ministers. The Xu family is one of the lucky few, from Hongwu to Wanli, the hereditary reckless family fortune is not declining, one is two countries, one is in the capital and the other is in Jiangning, and the life is very leisurely. Xu Bangrui, the contemporary Duke of Wei, married the daughter of the Duke of Qianguo, and Mu Chaobi, the Duke of the contemporary Qianguo, was the relative of Uncle Lang, while Xu Weizhi married the daughter of the Yang family of Zhangwu Bo, and the family was huge. In the entire Jiangning City, all the gardens that are called are named, basically surnamed Xu, and the mansion is not known to be few, even if it is a temporary residence, the arranged courtyard is also extremely luxurious, and there are dozens of servants and maids, and the arrangement is very intimate.
The Zhang family himself lived in the inner courtyard, and in the outer courtyard were lived by these men, and the servants and scholars who came with him lived in the area of the subordinates. The servants were busy placing the luggage and assigning the room, while Xu Weizhi instructed the servants to order a banquet and write a ticket for the bureau and call the girl.
Zhang Sixiu asked: "It's winter right now, there are a lot of idlers, so many popular women, please come uninvited?" When Sai Xi Shi was popular, it was a cup of tea for three taels of silver, and it depended on whether she was in the mood to accompany her. Since the identities of Xue Wu and Wang Xuexiao are not under Sai Xishi, I am afraid it is not easy to invite. Besides, if you don't fight against the soldiers, you invite them together, but I'm afraid that none of them will come when the time comes. ”
Xu Weizhi said with a smile: "The second brother's words were originally not bad, if it was a few months ago, even the younger brother would not dare to boast about this Haikou." The three slow voices of Zhushilou are easy to do, Wang Xuexiao doesn't know how many people are around, compared to Saixi's affair that day, and the younger brother is not sure to take her down. But things change over time, and now in Jiangning, these sisters are all plain, and the younger brother writes a bureau ticket casually, and they have to rush to come up, and they have to serve diligently. It is not difficult for the civil and military champions to come together. ”
"What do you mean by that?"
"The second brother doesn't know, now in Jiangning City, everyone can go out less and go out less, and don't go out to visit friends if they have nothing to do. If it weren't for the second brother, the younger brother would also be in the house, so he wouldn't come out and walk around. ”
"Jiang Ning, what's going on? How did you get to this point? When there was a disturbance in the day, I didn't see this appearance in the city, I'm afraid it wasn't a disaster? ”
"Isn't it just a disaster? Natural disasters happen every year, and no one takes it seriously, and no matter what happens to those refugees, there is also a yamen to take care of them, and we can't worry about it. It's just that this year's natural disaster is not quite the same, except for those displaced people, there is another smallpox. This thing...... When it comes to life, there is no distinction between high and low. Whether you have money or not, it's all a death. ”
Speaking of the word "smallpox", Xu Weizhi's voice was also lowered, as if mentioning these two words louder would attract illness. Zhang Sixiu's complexion also changed, "Smallpox? Why is there smallpox in this Jiangning City? Then what are we going to go out for, stay at home, and when I see Shibo, I will also leave. Between speaking, he subconsciously lifted his sleeve to block between his mouth and nose.
Xu Weizhi shook his head and said, "Second brother, what are you doing, the younger brother doesn't have smallpox." This year's flowers are really powerful, but our Jiangning Wang Laoqi is not incompetent, as soon as the matter came out, he circled a piece of land outside the city and made a smallpox village. Whoever produces flowers, regardless of whether they are rich or poor, will be sent to live in Tianhua Village, and they are not allowed to enter the city. Every day, a card was set up at the city gate, and the sick were also sent directly to the village, always saying that smallpox should not be in the city. So in our Jiangning City, there is nothing going on. But those big families are always timid, so they won't come out at this time. The same is true of those foreign businessmen, who dare not come out to play as they did in the past. The business of the old courtyard is very poor, and the teaching department has no business. This time, even if the younger brother gave relief to the victims, he rewarded them with food. ”
Smallpox is a terminal disease that cannot be solved at the moment, and whether it can be cured depends on luck rather than medical skills. In the Ming Dynasty in the Longqing period, the method of preventing smallpox has been studied, but whether it is a dry seedling or a water seedling, it is the category of the nose seedling method, and the mortality rate is about 20% with human pox, which can be called Taiping Medicine, which shows the danger of vaccines.
Most people don't want to risk their lives, and they feel that it is unnecessary, and the cost is extremely high, so the number of people vaccinated is very limited. But in the face of smallpox, there is no special medicine, once it breaks out, life and death can only depend on the destiny of heaven.
Fan Jin knew about cowpox, but if he said the cowpox prescription now, Xu Weizhi would not bow to him. At most, I feel that the scholar is very powerful, and then I feel that the scholar has eaten too much, and I will tell him what to do, and there will be no other emotions.
This kind of gentleman has little interest in solving problems, at most he treats this matter as a talking point, and Fan Jin does not think that reporting this method to the government will immediately be promoted and rewarded. It is likely that he proposed the cowpox method by himself, and then was collectively hated by the doctors at this time, and in the end it was these people who planted cowpox, and they had to bear the blame for their own lives.
Zhang Sixiu's doubts gradually disappeared, and he talked with Xu Weizhi again. Miss Xu Jialiu also came to the other courtyard, and went to the backyard to talk to Zhang, and each of them looked for their own friends, and they had nothing to do with each other.
Lunch was prepared by Xu Weizhi, and after the meal, Xu Weizhi introduced his mother's appearance to Fan Jin, and Fan Jin began to sketch his joy. In the inner house, a girl with a goose egg face and a willow waist took Zhang's hand and talked to her about her daughter's private words. Miss Xu Liu is different from Xu Weizhi, she is the kind of typical lady, shy and introverted, and she blushes when she speaks, but Zhang is like a man, making fun of this Miss Xu Liu, and touching her face with her hand from time to time, making Miss Xu Liu's face crimson, both ashamed and afraid, and can't help but forgive.
"Good sister, please spare me, little sister doesn't dare to mess with you."
"Spare you? Don't. said that everyone is a good sister, and everything has to be informed of each other, but it was silent, and I found my husband behind my back, is there still my sister in my eyes? Speaking of which, you are also a young lady of the dignified national mansion, and you can actually allow you to choose your own husband? ”
"Originally, it didn't work, but I almost let my mother know about the hanging beam, so my mother went to my father and had a big fight, and finally followed my wish. It's just that my father said that the dowry is simple, and I can't give anything. He didn't even give the promised field. But it doesn't matter, as long as I'm with Wei Lang, I'm not afraid of being rich or not, as long as we love each other, what does it matter if we are poor. ”
Zhang nodded, "I really envy you, you can choose your own father." We're the ...... Or your creation is the best. What is so good about that poor boy surnamed Wei that makes my good sister dark? ”
Xu smiled, "What can I say this, it's better for my sister to know when she sees him." also called Liu Gongzi, the two of them must have something to talk about. ”
Zhang pretended to be angry and said: "Okay, not only are you looking for a man behind my back, but you also dare to make fun of me and Brother Liu, see if I spare you!" As soon as she spoke, Miss Xu Liu's itch, the two girls frolicked for a while, and Miss Xu Liu said, "Tonight, my eldest brother is going to invite them to You Qinhuai to drink flower wine." Man, that's it, don't do good things. It's better for us to call Liu Gongzi and Wei Lang, open a table by ourselves, and don't make fun of them. ”
"That...... It makes sense. Zhang nodded, "It's better than letting them drink flower wine." Then you see, there are still good sisters in a few mansions, invite them to come together, remember, if there are no people, I will introduce someone to them. ”
"Who? Doesn't my sister want Liu Gongzi, but want to introduce him to others? ”
"Go, don't interrupt, I'm talking about my good friend, my good brother, and one of the few good men in the world. I originally wanted to give him to you, but unfortunately you have someone else, so you have to introduce it to someone else. Whoever it is, being his lady, will be very happy, I promise......"
