Chapter 106: Children's Feast
The officials and Feng Lu only stopped in the village for two days before leaving. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info
The soldiers also stopped for only seven days and left.
Now there are only five or six servants of the Zhang family who are staying by Zhang Youke's side, guarding his side.
A few days later, when it came to the Dragon Boat Festival, Gao Zhong was going to Fuzhou to go to Chongqing Mansion with Zhang Fanyu to participate in the hospital examination, and Zhang Youke was also preparing to return to Fuzhou City, so they made an appointment to leave for Fuzhou City together.
"Fuzhou has withered talents over the years, in fact, the entire Chongqing Mansion is also like this, according to your current knowledge, it should not be difficult to get a jinshi."
Along the way, Zhang and Ke sat on the ox cart and talked with Gao Zhong about the places that should be paid attention to in the scientific expedition.
Gao Zhong listened as he walked.
Gao Shangwu walked in front with a silver gun, he saw blood in the fight a few days ago, and he became more calm during this time, and he opened the road in front alone, without saying a word.
"Master Zhang, I know. Is there anything else I need to pay attention to when I arrive in Chongqing? ”
Gao Zhong continued to ask curiously.
"In addition to taking a good exam, there is not much difference between Chongqing and Fuzhou, that is, there are many scholars, so you don't have to worry."
Zhang Youke thought for a while and said.
Zhang Youke continued to talk to Gao Zhong about the things that should be paid attention to during the scientific expedition, and talked all the way, even on the ferry.
The pedestrians along the way, after seeing the gushing Zhang Youke, hid far away, and they all heard that Zhang Youke was not simple, and no one stood beside them after getting on the ferry.
"By the way, now during the Dragon Boat Festival, in a few days, Lord Zhizhou should invite you to participate in the children's banquet, and then you can go."
Zhang Youke suddenly thought of something and said to Gao Zhong.
"Boys' Banquet?"
Gao Zhong frowned, he knew the so-called Luming Banquet and Qionglin Banquet, but what was the Tongzi Banquet?
"This is the tradition of Fuzhou, and it is also to inspire your future generations to study, the place where it is held is Baiheliang, by the river, you have to wear more clothes, don't catch a cold!"
Zhang Youke reminded.
Baiheliang, which is the earliest hydrological station in China, is also the only hydrological station in the world that is known as a well-preserved hydrological station in later generations, and has extremely high historical value.
Even in the Ming Dynasty, this was the pride of the people of Fuzhou.
The name of this white crane is rumored to have a real person who was promoted to immortal here, and he took the white crane away, so he left this name.
In the center of the white crane beam is a stone fish, which symbolizes the level of the water. Fuzhou is mountainous and rocky, even in the Yangtze River there are many boulders, so in the dry season the big stones in the center of the river will surface, which leaves an excellent virgin land for the cultural creation of ancient literati.
Therefore, when someone leaves a treasure in the river and invites a craftsman to leave it permanently, more and more vassal and elegant people gather here, and every year they will use the stone fish as a symbol of the water level, and leave the corresponding hydrological information, or write a poem.
In the Ming Dynasty, it was a big deal to leave pen and ink in Baiheliang, and it had to be someone who had a certain influence in the Fuzhou literary circle to stay.
Moreover, Baiheliang is also a good place for the literary community in Fuzhou to gather, but most of the literati stay on the beach by the river, supporting their seats, and everyone looks at Baiheliang and recites poems together.
But it also happens that not far from the diagonal opposite of this white crane beam is another important place in Fuzhou's literary circle, and there is a point of easy hole.
Dianyi Cave is also known as Zhou Yi Garden, where Cheng Yi notes "Yi", which means that this is the place where Cheng's science is carried forward, and there are Huang Tingjian, Zhu Xi, Lu You and other famous Song Dynasty ink treasures carved in it.
Dianyi Cave can be said to be an unshakable existence in the Fuzhou literary world!
If the government holds a banquet in Baiheliang, then it must be a major event related to the Fuzhou literary circle, which shows how important this so-called children's banquet is in the eyes of the Fuzhou government.
"I see, I won't disappoint you at the boys' feast."
Gao Zhong nodded.
At this time, Gao Zhong felt more and more that today's Zhang Youke was a little strange, the usual Zhang Youke didn't seem to talk so much, and today's Zhang Youke seemed to be a little strange, as if he was afraid?
Zhang He nodded when he heard this, turned around, looked at Fuzhou City not far away, and did not continue to speak.
At this time, Gao Zhong looked at the little scholar not far away and glanced at him.
The little scholar glanced at Zhang Youke, then grinned, walked slowly in front of Gao Zhong and whispered: "The young master is worried about seeing the young grandmother, it used to be like this, the more the young master talks, the more worried he becomes......"
Hearing this, Gao Zhong frowned slightly, what is the situation, Zhang Youke seems to be not so scared when he sees the mountain bandits, right?
"You're talking more and more nonsense now, it seems that I won't be taking you with me when I come back in a few days!"
At this time, Zhang Youke's voice suddenly sounded, and the little scholar was so frightened that his neck shrunk, and he took steps back to Zhang Youke's side.
The Wujiang River is very narrow, and the current is not as turbulent as the Yangtze River, so the ferry travels very fast, and it doesn't take long for it to reach the shore.
After going ashore, he came to pick up Zhang Youke with a sliding rod, and Gao Zhong came to Gao Lianquan's side with Gao Shangwu and continued to live with the military households.
On the second day, sure enough, someone from the Fuzhou government sent an invitation and invited Gao Zhong to participate in the children's banquet.
The time set for the children's feast happened to be the Dragon Boat Festival, and the location happened to be on the shore near Baiheliang, and you could see a few stone fish jumping out of the water when you stood on the shore.
"Brother Gao, are you here?"
Gao Zhong came relatively early, but unfortunately he didn't know any of the dozens of people at the entire children's banquet, so he could only sit quietly on the side, although many strangers came forward to greet him.
"Brother Zhang, how are you doing with your newlywed?"
Gao Zhong listened to the voice, and when he saw it, he saw Zhang Fanyu, who was wearing a child's clothes at this time, and waved his hand at Gao Zhong with a smile.
"Brother Gao, don't laugh at me, I didn't think about this marriage event, so I became a ...... in a hurry"
Zhang Fanyu said with a sigh.
"Everything is fate, and it is not up to anyone. However, Brother Zhang now has a wife, the so-called candle night in the cave room, one of the four happy events in life has been obtained, what is there to be unhappy about? ”
Gao Zhong smiled and laughed at Zhang Fanyu.
"Brother laugh at me! Don't talk about this, why does the senior brother hide aside and not be with the people next to him? ”
Zhang Fanyu asked curiously towards Gao Zhong.
"I'm a peasant baby, in addition to knowing Master Zhang in the huge Fuzhou literary circle, it's Jiang Xiucai and you, how do I know the people next to me?"
Gao Zhong spread his hands and said helplessly.
It can be said that the people Gao Zhong knew in Fuzhou were all heads and faces, and he really didn't know any of these children.
