Chapter 22 Fighting Herbs 4
It was already extremely hot in May in the capital, but it was still comfortable in the early morning. [Ran^Text^Library] []
Although I didn't sleep all night, I just squinted for a while in the early morning, but I still got up early to go for a run.
Today, the foot of the imperial city is quite quiet, probably because it was too early, and the vendors on the street have only set up their stalls, and now there are no customers coming.
After running around the lake for a while, I slowly started to take a walk, taking advantage of the early morning light to breathe in the fresh air, which was really comfortable, and the blocks in my heart yesterday gradually faded.
Just before he took a few steps, he saw the old man in a Taoist robe with a white beard coming towards him, waving his hand to this side.
Shen Wuyan's pupils shrank, he really didn't want to respond, he wanted to pretend not to see it and leave quickly. But the other party had already taken small steps, and he couldn't dodge.
After the old man approached, Shen Wuyan smiled, bowed respectfully to the old man, and sighed, "Why did Mr. He come to the capital again...... What's the matter? ”
It's not that Shen Wuyan has any holiday with He Xinyin, it's really because every time I see He Xinyin, there are always a lot of things, if Yan Shifan and Xu Jie, they are probably related to He Xinyin.
Now the situation on Gao Gong's side is still stable for the time being, although Gao Gong also has a tendency to attack Xu Wenchang, but after all, he hasn't done it yet, and what he is afraid of is that He Xin will hide and break this temporarily stable situation at will.
He Xinyin is old, but his influence is increasing day by day, and now his disciples are all over Jiangbei, even in the officialdom of the capital, he also occupies a great position, so that although he is in the opposition, he can still guide the country.
He Xinyin could also see Shen Wuyan's unabastic look, but smiled lightly: "The old thing has come to make trouble for Mr. Shen again...... It's to the point of being annoying. ”
Shen Wuyan hurriedly waved his hand, but his face clearly affirmed his statement, but his mouth was calm: "What is Mr. He talking about...... When you come to the capital, you will not send someone to inform you, and you will be entertained in the next place. ”
With that, both of them laughed. After a while, He Xinyin said again: "I've seen Gao Gong before...... It's like you, but it doesn't hurt...... The world is yours. ”
This last sentence was said in Shen Wuyan's tone. But it also showed that he had read some of Shen Wuyan's articles, and while the two of them were walking, He Xinyin continued: "Now this court has become the world of his Gao family...... The upper and lower officials are all from his disciples under the high arch......"
"Hey, Mr. Ho don't talk about politics." Shen Wuyan sighed lightly and couldn't help laughing; "It's no longer the same time...... Mr. Ho said this, if someone with a heart hears it, he will impeach your old man for slandering and slandering others......"
Although He Xinyin is old. But his temper is still stubborn, and his temperament is still extreme. Although he could hear Shen Wuyan's joke, he was still unhappy in his heart, and sneered: "Let him bow high to cure the old man's sins...... But it also depends on whether he has the courage to do so. “
Shen Wuyan couldn't help but shake his head, although there are many people in Daming who do not have high-ranking official positions, they still can't be offended. In addition to the sages of Kong, Yan, and Meng, there are several famous people who cannot be offended.
These celebrities often give lectures on the altar, and there are all kinds of disciples under them, and there are countless followers in the country, if the imperial court dares to touch these people. It will definitely be criticized by countless literati.
Of course, there are also hardliners who do not hesitate to talk nonsense with these rotten pens, if Yan Song and the like, they can slaughter celebrities, even if there are a large number of literati who ridicule and ridicule, they still don't care.
One of the best examples is that Yan Song killed Wang Shizhen's father, when Wang Shizhen knelt outside the door of Yan's house and begged Yan Song to spare his father. Yan Song agreed on the surface, but in fact, he secretly killed his father.
After that, this matter was shaken out by Wang Shizhen, he is the leader of the literary world, one of the best figures among the literati, so in this way, literati everywhere in the Ming Dynasty have criticized Yan Song.
Until the Longqing period. Yan Song has probably become the image of a traitor in every household, like Qin Hui and Cai Jing in the Song Dynasty.
Although He Xinyin is not as famous as Wang Shizhen, he is still a famous person in the world, even Xu Jie couldn't treat him back then, so that Xu Jie's high arch often befriended him.
After a moment's pause, the two of them had already walked to a steamed bun stall, white smoke rising from the cage drawer. The aroma of the buns came to his nostrils, and Shen Wuyan happened to have nothing in his stomach, so he sat down and said with a smile: "I sat with Mr. He like this that year...... It's probably here, and after talking about it, I have a lot of experience. ”
Seeing that Shen Wuyan could change the topic, He Xinyin no longer deliberately chased after him, so he also sat down, and after asking for a steamed bun and vinegar dish, he said, "It's been a few years like this......"
Shen Wuyan smiled and said, "It's the Duanyang Festival...... Mr. Ho doesn't have any plans? ”
He Xinyin shook his head and sighed: "Actually, coming to the capital is only temporary, and now I am staying in the Buddhist temple outside the city, and the abbot is familiar with me...... As for Duanyang...... Maybe it's going to Suzhou. ”
"Mr. He's Taoist robe, but he lives in a Buddhist temple, your monk friend is really interesting." Shen Wuyan chuckled lightly and continued, "But why rush back to Suzhou...... It's only half a month. ”
While chatting, the steamed buns were also served, and the first steamed buns in the morning were eaten while they were hot, but they were extremely delicious.
"I was going to Suzhou to give lectures while Duanyang was ......" After a pause, He Xinyin said again: "There are also a lot of people in Suzhou...... I heard that Huating is also in Suzhou now, but I also went to reminisce about the old ......"
Huating is Xu Jie, he is a native of Huating County, Songjiang Prefecture. The title of the Ming Dynasty is also called hometown, so the Huating in He Xinyin's mouth refers to Xu Jie.
Xu Jie's current situation in Suzhou is no secret, and the court no longer pursues the affairs of the past, and as for Gao Gong, he also knows very well that copying his family is already the maximum he can do.
Shen Wuyan got up and added a vinegar dish by himself, and ordered two more cages wrapped in paper, ready to take them back, before sitting back in his position and sighing: "I was going to find a few old friends in Duanyang to get together in Hanyan Building...... If Wang Shizhen's old friends will pass, Mr. He will have something else to do. ”
He Xinyin showed a smile on his face and said with a smile: "Mr. Shen will still be a friend after all, and this old man will be satisfied...... If you have this friend, you will have no regrets. ”
Shen Wuyan's face suddenly changed slightly, and he hurriedly got up and arched his hand towards He Xinyin, and said, "When Mr. He said this, it was really unbearable for the juniors...... You are Mr. Su, you are calling me Mr. is already the maximum, and now you are calling a friend...... But it doesn't mess up the generations. ”
He Xinyin glared at Shen Wuyan, shook his head and said, "It's useless to talk about this, so it's not bad to say that the turn of the previous year is not bad......"
After another bit of small talk, it stopped.
So this time in early May of Longqing's fifth year, he met He Xinyin, and it probably ended like this, neither of them talked about things in the court, let alone about other people's affairs.
Although Shen Wuyan deliberately did this, he had to say that He Xinyin also had this idea, and after this calm morning, he left the capital, which was probably the last time he came to the capital.
It was still early in the courtyard, and it would take a while for the servants in the courtyard to come, so Shen Wuyan said that Shen Tianjun and Li Wan'er were still asleep, so they wandered around the courtyard alone for a while.
It's just that it's still a little inconvenient to hold the bun in your hand, so I'm going to put it in the kitchen pot.
The only left side of the kitchen is not visible at a glance. Shen Wuyan walked slowly along the path, and suddenly heard a slight noise in his ears, and he thought in his heart that there must have been a thief at home.
Because of the proximity to the imperial city on this side of Xiyuan, the catchers patrolling the city are more diligent, so the possibility of being robbed is really not large, but at this time, this situation is really a bit similar.
Therefore, Shen Wuyan's steps gradually became much lighter, and he slowly moved towards the edge of the kitchen.
The door of the kitchen, which had been closed, opened open, and when I looked over, I immediately saw a thin woman holding an object that looked like a cloth bag.
I saw her slowly moving to the stove, holding a small shovel in her hand, little by little putting the ashes in the stove into the cloth bag, and after loading for a while, she put the small shovel aside and slowly smoothed the cloth bag.
Shen Wuyan couldn't help muttering in his heart, how could this thief still come over to steal the ashes, could it be that the ashes were still valuable?
After thinking about this, he saw the woman slowly take the cloth bag into her arms, and turned to leave the kitchen.
When he saw the woman clearly, Shen Wuyan was shocked in his heart, the person who should have been a thief turned out to be Li Wan'er, who was still sleeping next to his bed in the early morning.
Shen Wuyan almost screamed out, but seeing Li Wan'er's panicked face, Shen Wuyan hurriedly moved quickly and walked towards the courtyard. Walking this way, I also paid attention to the steps under my feet and did not make much movement.
I walked like this until I walked out of the courtyard and watched Li Wan'er return to the room along the crack in the door, and then I walked into the courtyard again.
After sitting for a while, as usual, Li Wan'er came out of the room, woke up Shen Tianjun, and after washing, she ate breakfast.
Li Wan'er's face was really a little pale, and she often pressed her hand on her lower abdomen, which didn't seem to be very comfortable.
Shen Wuyan couldn't help but ask casually, "Wan'er is unwell?" ”
Asked by Shen Wuyan like this, Li Wan'er hurriedly waved her hand, her expression was a little flustered, and she hurriedly said, "No...... Well...... Some of them caught a cold...... But it's not a big deal. ”
Shen Wuyan didn't want to ask, but said, "I came back a little early today......
"What?" Li Wan'er looked up and asked.
Shen Wuyan hurriedly shook his head and said, "Eat quickly, Tianjun, I have to go to class in a while...... Don't be late, remember to carve an early word on the table. ”
Shen Tianjun suddenly sighed helplessly and said, "Daddy also said yesterday, don't scribble on the table anymore...... Mr. is a good boarder. ”
"Oh......" Shen Wuyan couldn't help but get up, walked towards the study, and echoed casually: "What Tianjun said is right...... Listen to the gentleman......" (To be continued.)
