Chapter 38: Mr. Umemura

"Do you think that what I just said was just a polite remark to you? No! I'm really sure of you! Virtuous nephew, you have not been exposed to outdated texts before, and there is no teacher to guide you to get started, after just listening to my experience, you can immediately start the essay, and you can write it as it is now, it is already very rare, how many Confucian students, all their lives are poor, and the articles written are still unsightly! Cheng Zhixian said appreciatively.

"Thank you for your encouragement! Kid dare not work hard! Zheng Hao hurriedly said.

"Zheng Hao, you have talent, but in the past two days, I heard about your new Tang Duoling. Yongliu, although it is too sad, but the talent is shining! Cheng Zhixian praised.

Zheng Hao blinked, but he didn't expect that his little word a few days ago would spread so fast that it had already reached Cheng Zhixian's ears.

"It's just a small word, it's hard to get into the eyes of adults!" Zheng Hao said modestly.

"You don't have to be too humble, this poem is really good, there is a Ming generation, there are almost no famous words, virtuous nephews can fill in a few words when socializing with literary friends in addition to their careers, which is also a means of spreading the name of the text! Having a talented name will be beneficial to your career! Cheng Zhixian taught.

Literati are well-known, and leaders in the literary world can often make a difference in officialdom.

After all, in today's scientific examinations, what is tested is article talent, and most of those officials in the officialdom are literati.

"Thank you for your teachings!" Zheng Hao bowed down again and thanked him.

At this time, Cheng Fanglian also clapped her hands and said, "Brother Hao, if your song is composed to a tune, it must be very good!" I also heard that a few nights ago, at the poetry meeting held by the Zhou family, you sang a tune, but it was the "Phoenix Seeking Phoenix", according to people, it was very beautiful, my brother would like to sing this Tang Duoling to me? ”

"Lian'er, how can you let Brother Hao sing you a tune? This is a bit excessive. Cheng Zhixian glared at his daughter and said.

Singing tunes is the behavior of the servants, and the servants are also lowly.

Isn't it the same as swearing to make people sing songs?

"It doesn't matter! Since Fang Lian wants to hear it, it's okay for me to try singing. Zheng Hao waved his hand and smiled, but he didn't think about it that much.

"Okay! Okay! Brother Hao sing quickly, I can't wait to hear it. Cheng Fanglian clapped her hands and said.

Zheng Hao smiled, this Tang Duoling song has also been sung by folk grassroots singers in later generations. Zheng Hao loved to listen to songs and sing in his previous life, and he almost heard and sang the songs composed of those classic poems in the Dream of Red Mansions. Yongliu can also sing.

He began to sing the song in classical style.

Although it is a cappella, he has a good voice and sings very tactfully.

In the process of singing, Zheng Hao saw Cheng Fanglian holding her cheeks and listened very fascinated. And Cheng Zhixian also gently knocked on the table with his hand, as if he was beating to the rhythm of this song.

After Zheng Hao finished singing this song, he said to Cheng Zhixian with a smile: "Just sing it indiscriminately, it's good that it doesn't pollute the ears of adults." ”

"Hmm! Very flavorful singing, I've heard a lot of tunes before, but I haven't heard your way of singing, singing very well, it's just, good nephew! This is a trail after all, don't be too playful. Cheng Zhixian said.

After talking like this for a while, a girl came over and said that Madame urged the master to go back to dinner.

Zheng Hao also followed Cheng Zhixian to the back house for lunch.

After lunch, Zheng Hao walked out of the small door of the county government's back house.

He was arranged by Cheng Zhixian to live in a small courtyard near the county office, and Zheng Chong and Ping'er also lived here with him.

Zheng Hao thought to himself, Qianguli Village has nothing to worry about, in fact, he can move to this Wuxi City and plan his own development path.

Just as he was thinking so, a mother-in-law came over, saluted him and said, "But Zheng Gongzi?" ”

"It's Xiao Ke, I don't know what's going on with my mother-in-law?" Zheng Hao asked.

"Hello Zheng Gongzi, it's Miss Yujing who asked me to send you an invitation, please accept it!" The mother-in-law handed Zheng Hao a beautiful invitation.

Zheng Hao received the hand and thanked the mother-in-law, and gave her a handful of copper coins as a reward.

The mother-in-law thanked her for her kindness, but she did not leave, but waited for Zheng Hao to reply.

Zheng Hao opened the invitation and took a look, but saw that it was written in Juan Xiu's small letters: Brother Hao sees the words like faces, since the previous farewell, it is a few days in a hurry, Yu misses Yu very much, Ru Yu and Yu, parting is for a better encounter, Yu is convinced and does not doubt, there are distinguished guests visiting tonight, can my brother come to the rest of the place?

Title: Brother Yujing leads the neck to look forward to.

Zheng Hao looked at these warm words, and his heart was also hot.

The last time I said goodbye to Bian Yujing in the Zhou Mansion, it had been four days. He was busy planning for Cheng Zhixian, but he didn't have time to meet her.

"Zheng Gongzi, my young lady is still waiting for you to reply." The woman said respectfully.

Zheng Hao hurriedly said: "You go back and tell your young lady that I will definitely go to the appointment on time!" ”

"Thank you Zheng Gongzi, that old body is goodbye!" Only then did the mother-in-law leave happily with the reward.

Zheng Hao left in the middle of the night.

Naturally, he wanted to take Zheng Chong to protect himself.

Otherwise, at this special moment when the remnants of Changbin have not yet been cleared, he will not dare to come out alone.

Bian Yujing's painting boat stopped next to the Blessing Bridge, Zheng Hao and Zheng Chong walked down the dock and came to this painting boat, but Bian Yujing came out with joy.

"Brother Hao!"

"Brother Yujing!"

This time they met again, and both of them were very happy, and even changed their names. Zheng Hao just wanted to tell Bian Yujing in this way that he respected her very much.

Bian Yujing grabbed Zheng Hao's arm with a big smile, and said with a smile: "Brother came early, let's go upstairs." ”

"Okay, Brother Yujing, please!" Zheng Hao and Bian Yujing came to the second floor of the painting boat.

On the second floor, it is also very elegantly furnished, and the window is pasted with window paper painted with pictures of pine, bamboo, plum and ladies, and the furnishings are also very tasteful.

Upstairs there is a table with a delicate and beautiful flower arrangement in the middle of the table.

"Brother Hao, please sit down!"

Bian Yujing asked Zheng Hao to sit down.

Zheng Hao sat down and asked, "Brother Yujing, I don't know which distinguished guest this time?" ”

"It's Wu Jungong, Mao Bijiang and Zhou Shimao who came together." Bian Yujing said.

Mao Bijiang and Zhou Shimao are naturally recognized by Zheng Hao, but he doesn't know who this Wu Jungong is.

"Is Wu Jungong also a local scholar?" Zheng Hao asked.

"This Wu Jungong, the word Jungong, the name Weiye, the number Meicun, but he is from Taicang, he is good at writing seven words and songs, and he is very famous in the Jiangnan area." Bian Yujing said.

Zheng Hao couldn't help but be taken aback when he heard Bian Yujing say this.
