Chapter 69: Jingzhou Trivia (1)
Woniu Mountain is located at the foot of Jingzhou, the mountain is low and gentle, and the rest of the feet dive into the waterhole, the shape is like an old cow lying down and drinking, so it is named. In the middle of winter, the grass and trees are withered and yellow, and a gust of wind rises, and then they drift away, with a rustling sound, and occasionally fall into the pool, and there is a bitterness.
This place is less than five miles away from Xiangyang, the seat of Jingzhou governance, but there are few pedestrians, but it is born with a poor and evil appearance, gravel is everywhere, and the land is difficult to plant; The water in the pool is shallow and small, and the shrimp and fish are not enough to survive.
In the cold scenery of that day, two or three people appeared, slowly advancing along the potholed gravel path in this Wuniu Mountain, and the person at the head was a young girl, goose yellow new clothes, plain silk shirts, two corners of the curved moon sleeves exposed under the slender finger hook tied to two new peach charms, swaying with the girl's swaying steps.
A gust of wind shook, grabbed the girl's body and leaned back, the girl's eyes flashed with panic, and she screamed twice, fortunately, there was a maid behind her, and hurriedly stepped forward to help the girl.
When Fang Hanqi lowered his body to pick it up, he saw a description of the golden flower yellow contaminated with dust, fell to the ground, and hurriedly stretched out his finger to grope his forehead, and determined that he accidentally fell off and fell to the ground when he lost his footing, and couldn't help but be angry and annoyed, so he simply got up and walked straight forward, and no longer picked up the peach charm and flower yellow on the ground, and the maid and the servant didn't dare to make a sound when they saw this, but just lowered down and picked up the peach charm and put it on the gift box they carried, and quickly followed.
The three of them walked for a short time, and they came to a mountain house. The house pavilion is built on the mountain, but it is about two acres of land, and there are four or five small houses. Outside the house is a small pavilion, and outside the pavilion are dozens of small bamboos standing in pavilions.
At this moment, the pavilion walked out of a Bo with a crown, a person with yellow eyes, the person saw the girl look embarrassed, the tips of the hair were slightly messy, and there seemed to be traces of the yellow flower on the forehead, but the yellow did not know where to run, a pair of plain brocade shoes were stained with dust, and the wind could not help but come under the feet, and walked quickly, sneering and laughing while walking, and before he got closer, he couldn't help but laugh in his mouth: "I don't know whose crazy girl is here, and she doesn't repair her makeup, is it a gesture of visiting the host?" ”
"Wang Zhongxuan, you are looking for this place where you are dead and lifeless, and you still have the courage to laugh at me?" , The girl took two peach talismans from the attendant's body, glared slightly, and struggled to put it towards the man.
Wang Zhongxuan did not dodge, the sleeves of the robe were slightly opened, and the peach charm was put down, and he looked down carefully, only to see that the wood paint on the two peach charms was uniform, and the order was supple, and the two juanxiu characters of "Shen Tu" and "Yu Lei" were written respectively.
"The niece of the Huang family has a heart, but she doesn't know what to do", Wang Cang (Wang Zhongxuan) squinted and smiled, turned his head and said slightly apologetically.
The girl snorted, ignored him, looked around, and saw that the small pavilion surrounded by green bamboo was quite delicate and interesting, so she stepped on the stone like a rabbit and jumped towards the small pavilion.
Wang Cang saw that she was innocent and romantic, so he left with her, turned around and guided the servants of the Huang family to put the gifts they were carrying into the warehouse, and then turned around and came to the pavilion.
Wang Cang just walked into the pavilion, only to see an ink pen in the girl's hand leaping and frustrating between the paper, bamboo branches and leaves cover each other, and the ink and bamboo are finally on the paper, sighing in his heart, he said: "The niece of the Huang family is clever and skillful, and she can write and paint."
"Wang Zhongxuan, you are just a few years older than me, can you not always look old and sick", the girl turned her head and frowned when she heard this.
"Although I am only a few years older than you, what do you do with what I see and hear?" Wang Cang shook his head and smiled lightly.
"Tell me about it," the girl asked, with a hint of interest in her eyes.
"The Wang family is also expected to be famous, my grandfather and grandfather are all three dukes, and my father also served as a general for a long time", Wang Cang picked up the pen and gently moistened it between the ink, his eyes were full of thoughts and thoughts, as if he was recalling the past, "When I was a child, I thought I had seen the study tour between the two capitals, and I had seen the good strategist Confucian, the general Xiaowu, Lu Zigan, the moon and the peace, the Cai Bo derogatory between the rivers and the sea, the short-sighted rat He Suigao, and the treacherous Dong Zhongying."
"Seeing him rise to a high platform and feast guests, the building collapsed, Luoyang was burned into a remnant scene, and Liuhe was full of cannibal jackals", Wang Cang sighed quietly, "I couldn't escape all the way from Luoyang to Jing, and there were thousands of dry bones on the way."
When the girl heard Wang Cang's sentimental words, her eyes couldn't help revealing gloom, and she said with relief: "You must always be stable to Jingxiang, you are fine, isn't it the luck of the Wang family?" ”
Wang Cang smiled when he heard this, and gently pressed his hand behind the girl's bun, "The virtuous niece is also in the age of Jilu, I don't know what kind of person Xiangyang is married?" ”
The girl clenched her fists and attacked Wang Cang, and lightly straightened her hair, only then did she say in distress: "The Huang family does not live in Xiangyang, I rarely come, the words of outsiders, always can't be true, I haven't made a decision, but my father comes to Xiangyang, and every time I hear people, I say: There are women in the family who are unique, and it is a pity that they are not good-looking, and now Jingxiang is all saying: The Huang family is unbearable."
"This is the Wuxian paper from Jiangdong? Wang Zhongxuan: How do you have so many here? I'm afraid that the number in the entire Xiangyang City may not be able to catch up with you", the girl got up and looked at the painting of ink and bamboo, quite complacent, but she had already put the corner away from her own marriage.
"Since you claim to be the best at arguing, why don't you try to guess why?" , Wang Cang smiled when he heard this.
"Could it be that Sun Ce, the Taishou of Wu County, heard that Wang Cang lived in Jingxiang, and Liu Jingzhou couldn't take a fancy to it", the girl pretended to tilt her head and think hard.
Wang Cang bowed his head and was speechless, but took out another roll of paper from the wooden box on the side in his hand, spread it flat, and wrote with a pen in his hand.
"After Wang Zhongxuan is the third duke, then Sun Bofu will use some Wuxian paper, and want to recruit you as a servant", the girl suddenly said, "He is a servant in Jiangdong, don't forget the virtuous daughter of the Huang family, you must remember to send some fructose paper wine to Xiangyang during the festival", and then he pulled Wang Cang's sleeve lightly, pretending to please.
"Non-yes, non-yes", Wang Cang saw that she was pretending to be witty, so he broke open his sleeves and explained helplessly: "Jiangdong Sun Bofu is raising the matter of learning, lack of classics, I don't know how to know about Cai Bo's book in the early years, knowing that I live in Jingzhou, so I make people rely on copying books, money, grain, sugar paper as a reward, and there are letters from Zheng Xuangong, so I naturally can't be lazy." ”
"Uncle Cai gave the book? Give you Wang Zhongxuan? The girl said strangely, Wang Cang's face is yellow and his nose is high, the corners of his eyes are slightly oblique, and the wrinkles on the sides of his cheeks are like mountains and rivers.
"Although I was young at that time, I traveled between Beijing and Beijing with my father, and what I saw and heard was already extraordinary...", Wang Cangzuo recalled.
"Uncle Ke Zhongxuan has lived in Jingzhou for six years, and he has never been recruited by Liu Jingzhou as an official", the girl interjected.
"Shut up!"
"Maybe that Jiangdong Sun Lang has also heard of Uncle Zhongxuan's appearance, so although he is full of courtesies, he will never talk about the conquest", the girl sighed faintly beside her, and ran out of the pavilion as if she had already slipped away.
Wang Cang hammered his fist on the stone table to express his indignation, and he wanted to get up, only to hear a brisk sound in the distance.
"I know that Uncle Zhongxuan has a leg and foot disease, so don't give it to your niece, and you don't have to keep food."
