Chapter 12 Master Yan's thoughts
[Thank you Antonye and Ye Seventeen for rewarding ~ I went to the field yesterday, and I rushed back today to code the word, and I specially offered it. ] 】
The next morning, Zhao Dezhao got up early, and then went to the courtyard to play a set of Tai Chi.
Yesterday, Zhao Kuangmei had been working as a handyman in Guangwei Building for a night, and Zhao Dezhao was afraid that Zhao Kuangmei was just an ordinary gentleman and an offspring. Zhao Kuangmei planned to go to Guangweilou for an internship this month, and then followed Zhao Dezhao into the donkey cart and rushed to the south of the city non-stop. Zhao Dezhao and the others had just left the street and turned a street, and at this time, the carriage and horses of Hou Yanfu had stopped in front of Zhao's mansion. Yan Muwan pulled the curtain of the car, and then was helped down from the car by the subordinates, and when she saw Li San'er at the door, she shouted: "San'er, where is your family?"
Li San'er pointed forward, and then said: "Little lady Yan, my family's Xiaolangjun and Shilangjun just got in the car, and they are no longer in the house at the moment, they took the car and went to the south of the city." It's really a coincidence that you're not lucky, they just left with the front foot, and you paid a visit on the back foot, and maybe you might be able to catch up with them when you chase them at this time. ”
Yan Muwan muttered to herself and sighed: "Why did I go out again by chance." "Alas. San'er, thank you, thank you San'er, we'll go now, farewell! ”
"Little lady Yan, go slowly."
Yan Muwan hurriedly got into the carriage and ran towards the south of the city!
Zhao Dezhao and the others were in the car at this time, and Zhao Dezhao asked, "Little uncle, are you sure that you will go to Guangwei Building for an internship in the next month." ”
Zhao Kuangmei replied without firmness: "That's natural, if I say it, I will definitely fulfill my promise." You'll have 10,000 hearts. ”
Zhao Dezhao gave a thumbs up and said, "Little uncle, that's a good point, you remember what you said today, come on!"
Zhao Kuangmei nodded, "um".
The car drove forward, and then the donkey cart behind finally caught up, and a little girl's head poked out of it, and she shouted to the car in front of her: "Brother Zhao, I'm Xuan'er, stop quickly-"
Zhao Dezhao seemed to hear the voice behind him, then lifted the curtains, saw Yan Muwan poking his head out, and then asked the coachman to stop the car, walked out of the car, and then said, "Wan'er, why are you here?" What's going on? ”
Yan Muwan pulled the curtain and said, "Brother Zhao, thanks to you yesterday, after I went back, I told my father the source of the matter, and my father asked me to invite Brother Zhao to come over today, and thank you for it." ”
Zhao Dezhao was embarrassed and said: "Are you here specifically for this matter, it's just a gesture of effort, Wan'er, your father is too polite!" Your father is really, I'm not going to the Chengnan Restaurant, or another day. ”
Yan Muwan said unhappily: "I have already said it today, can you go to Yan's Mansion first, my father has a very good face, if you don't go, it will be disrespectful to his old man." ”
Zhao Dezhao thought of what is disrespectful to the old man, obviously you were invited to me by this little lady, but the matter in the restaurant is not very urgent, I got out for a while, and that's it, and then I thought of going to see it first, so I agreed, and let Zhao Kuangmei go to Guangwei Building alone, and then she got into Yan Mujuan's car and went to Yan's mansion.
This is the second time I've been to Yanfu, and in my previous life, I clearly remember that I hadn't heard anything about Yanfu in Tokyo City, or the history of this era has been changed by myself, but I haven't even heard the name Bai Gucheng.
The huge Yan Mansion stands in the north of Kaifeng City, and it is still a pretty good building, although it is not as good as the one described in the Dream of Red Mansions, but it is still more than enough. When Zhao Dezhao's eyes looked at the mansion again, the car had already stopped at this moment.
When the people in Yan's mansion saw that their little lady's car had stopped in front of the mansion, they hurriedly came down from the steps, stepped forward to lift the curtain, and then respectfully helped her get out of the car.
Yan Muwan got out of the car, a head poked out of the car, and the people saw a little boy coming out of the car at this time, it was the little Langjun who sent his little lady back yesterday, and he was polite and waiting.
"You go and spread the word about my father, and say that the guest my father wants to see has been brought and is about to go to the hall at this moment." Yan Muwan said.
"Yes, little lady."
Zhao Dezhao didn't say anything at the moment, but followed Yan Muwan into Yan's mansion, and after stepping through the gate threshold, he went in the main gate and looked up to see a shadow wall, the entire shadow wall was made of blue bricks, and a sentence was carved on it: "Zi said: Virtuous and returning!" A spoonful of food, a scoop of drink, in the alley. People can't bear their worries, and they won't change their pleasures. Virtuous and virtuous! Zhao Dezhao glanced at it, and then sighed in his heart, these words seem very simple, but it is not simple to practice them and practice them yourself. In the Analects, Confucius praised Yan Hui's life was not easy, because he lived in "a spoonful of food" and "a spoonful of drink", and his material life was so hard, living in alleys and dilapidated houses. Anyone in this kind of environment can't bear the sorrow and troubles in their hearts, but Yan Hui still doesn't change his happiness. If you change to Zhao Dezhao today, you may not be able to do it, how can you return to poverty when you are enjoying the extremely rich material now.
Zhao Dezhao saw this, and his heart brightened, although he said that there are many opportunities today, but he must also hold on to it, cherish the hard-won wealth in front of him, not to mention Yan Hui.
Zhao Dezhao took a brisk step, followed behind Yan Mujuan, and then walked through a long stone path, a verdant artificial bamboo forest, bursts of birdsong, lotus leaves in the clear pool, the wind blew across the water, and there were goldfish drifting with the waves.
But Zhao Dezhao suddenly remembered the words of the shadow wall, but he felt that this place did not seem to confirm that sentence, so he shook his head. After a while, two people arrived in front of the hall, the hall and the lower part of the hall also have many steps, and also use low columns to support the step surface, and the horizontal horizontal lines are carved between the columns and columns, and the brick joints are described.
In the hall, the height of the column is only 3.36 times the diameter of the column, and the shorter is only 1.4 times. On the pillar or Shi dougong, or only Shi big bucket, the cornerstone under the column is many square, and the carving is extremely rude. However, the window lattices around are the most common with oblique lattices, and there are window lattices between them, and they are made into cages and buckled outside the window. The decoration in the hall is simple, the layout is general, although it is simple, but rough and atmospheric. Zhao Dezhao changed his gaze with the ups and downs of the building, and then his eyes stayed on the building, it left a Han style rhyme, not at all like the style of the Tang Dynasty, it seems that the decoration of the Yan Mansion really took a lot of thought, and he praised: "Not bad!" ”
Yan Muwan stood on the side, then smiled and said, "Brother Zhao, this hall is not very elegant, it is very rough, it makes you laugh, how can it be called a good one!" ”
Zhao Dezhao did not answer Yan Mujuan's words, he immediately looked at the table in front of the couch of the hall master, there was a book, Zhao Dezhao looked closer, it was written "Yan's Family Motto" These four big characters, Zhao Dezhao wanted to read the content of the book, but felt that it was very inappropriate, without the permission of the master, he looked at it privately, which was really impolite, Zhao Dezhao also accepted the idea of reading, and stood quietly in the hall, waiting for Yan Mujuan and her father to arrive. Then it suddenly occurred to me that the book "Yan's Family Motto" should be Yan Zhitui's work to describe his personal experience, thoughts, and knowledge to warn his children and grandchildren. There are seven volumes and twenty articles. They are the first in the preface, the second in the godson, the third in the brothers, the fourth in the later marriage, the fifth in governing the family, the sixth in the wind and the sixth, the seventh in Muxian, the eighth in the study, the ninth in the article, the tenth in the name and the truth, the eleventh in affairs, the twelfth in provincial affairs, the thirteenth in stopping, the fourteenth in commandments, the fifteenth in cultivating the heart, the sixteenth in returning to the heart, the seventeenth in documentary evidence, the eighteenth in the pronunciation, the nineteenth in miscellaneous arts, and the twentieth in the final system.
Zhao Dezhao probably also knows some of the contents of "Yan's Family Motto", in his previous life, his father forced himself to read the content of it, so he smiled, it seems that this book is still a collection of the essence of heaven and earth. When Yan Muwan saw Zhao Dezhao like this, she understood his thoughts, and the two waited in the hall.
When the host over there saw the guests in the hall visiting, it was the Zhao brother who sent back yesterday when his daughter broke her foot outside, so he hurried over to express his gratitude in person. At this moment, Zhao Dezhao heard sonorous footsteps coming in from behind, turned around, and then
Seeing a man about thirty years old in front of him, wearing a bamboo branch robe, a piece of mutton fat jade hanging from his waist, and a hosta tied to his head, as if the celebrities in the Wei and Jin dynasties were in good spirit, Zhao Dezhao expected that this person was Yan Mujuan's father, and he was just going to pay a visit.
At this time, Yan Muwan opened her mouth and shouted, "Daddy!" “
Zhao Dezhao knew that the person in front of him was her father, so when he saw it, he bowed his body and saluted: "Uncle Yan is good!" ”
Yan Zhehui saw that there was a five- or six-year-old boy in front of him, as old as his daughter, but he still knew how to be polite, just like a father said in the same tone as a father saw a child: "You are Brother Zhao in Wan'er's mouth, I didn't expect that you could help at a young age, Yan is here to thank Brother Zhao for his help, and I don't know what this Brother Zhao is called?" ”
"Daddy, sit down and talk! Or I'll go out first! Yan Muwan said and immediately walked out of the hall, but secretly listened to the movement inside outside the door.
Zhao Dezhao continued: "Let my uncle praise him, the boy's name is Zhao, Dezhao, and there are no words yet." ”
Yan Zhehui heard the three words Zhao Dezhao, Dezhao, Dezhao, and felt that this name was good, but then he thought about it, and he looked incredulous, he had heard Wan'er's grandfather say that the partner of Sun's charcoal shop was the chairman of Guangwei Group, and Zhao Dezhao, the owner of Guangwei Building, gave his father-in-law those honeycomb coal and briquette stoves last time, which were extremely good, and they were unseen and unheard of. Standing in front of Yan Zhehui, this person is only about five years old now, but he can change the original version of the things in the world, slightly change them, and introduce some new things, what kind of ingenuity is hidden in this little head, and now because these have become hot commercial prodigies in the capital, and he still goes to Guangweilou from time to time to eat delicious food, a drink and peck, very happy!
Yan Zhehui had only heard it before, but today he was able to see it in person, and he was also drunk. Yan Zhehui smiled and said, "I heard Juan'er's grandfather say that the little brother is that prodigy, who has admired his name for a long time, and he will be fortunate to meet him." ”
Zhao Dezhao waved his hand embarrassedly, and then said: "Uncle is too exalted to me, I'm just a child, not a prodigy in my uncle's mouth, uncle, don't say that." ”
Yan Zhehui asked again, "How is Brother Zhao's family?"
As soon as Zhao Dezhao heard how to get involved with his family background, he also saw some ordinary things, and said: "Uncle, the boy's family lives in the east of the city, his grandfather is a general, and his father leads the forbidden army. There are also two uncles in the family. ”
When Yan Zhehui heard that Zhao Dezhao's grandfather and father were both generals in the army, he was also in awe, and said: "Brother Zhao was really born in a family of eunuchs!" Sure enough, there is everyone's style! “
"I'm ......"
Yan Zhehui was an official in the court, and then some ministers in the court received a report from the front, saying that the Zhou army defeated the Han and Liao coalition forces in Bagongyuan, and now Liu Min has been beaten to the ground, and Liu Min is trapped in Jinyang City, and now the Emperor of Zhou personally led a large army to besiege the city of Jinyang, and should be able to attack the Han State, and then capture the Han Emperor. It's just that the people and officials in Kaifeng City, Tokyo don't know that now Jinyang City has become a stalemate, and Liu Min of the Han State turned to the Liao State for help, and the Liao State sent troops south to kill Shi Yanchao, and the momentum of Jinyang is now only fifty percent sure, either losing or winning.
Zhao Dezhao Lingzun is also a close minister next to the Son of Heaven, as if he heard that on the Bagong Plain, Zhao's father rescued the remnants of Liu Min of the Han State and forced them back to the north. Zhao Kuangyin is also a military general in the forbidden army, this time to save the driver, when he returns to the capital, he will be promoted to a knight, and now Zhao Fu is young, and Zhao Dezhao is also young.
These two people are both talented people, and they will definitely be able to become celebrities around the emperor if they have made great achievements in the future, and they have a bright future, not to mention that Zhao Dezhao and his father-in-law are still partners, so they must also be on the side of the Yan family.
Although the Yan family is a scholarly family, but since the Anshi Rebellion, the Yan family has made many sacrifices for the Tang Dynasty, a century and a half ago, the cold wind carried sand and dust, whistling, hitting the doors and windows, constantly making rustling roars and sounds; Shaking and destroying the ancient locust tree in the courtyard, the huge body that could be hugged trembled and trembled, and the dead branches snapped and stumbled. Yan Gaoqing, Yan Zhenqing and other relatives sacrificed their lives for the national community in the Anshi Rebellion, the power of the Yan family is not as good as before, and the descendants of the Yan family are now withered, and they have already been officials in the court, but they are just a small official like sesame mung beans.
Although the Yan family doesn't want to be a gate valve, the Yan family must be based on this world, and the blood of the sages flows in their blood, if they can get Zhao Dezhao's help, the Yan family will be able to revitalize. And if her daughter can have such a husband, it is also her happiness.
It's just that now the two of them are children, thinking like this, Yan Zhehui immediately smiled self-deprecatingly, he just thought about it casually, but Zhao Dezhao himself must be encompassed, especially the value that Zhao Dezhao played.
Oh, I'm also worried about nothing, for the sake of the Yan family, I really have to calculate even my own daughter.
If Zhao Dezhao knew that Yan Zhehui thought so, I am afraid that he would laugh, but he didn't expect that he was accidentally caught by others and became the Yan family's fast son-in-law, this is also incredible, what kind of mysterious jackpot did I win today...... But Yan Zhehui took a fancy to Zhao Dezhao's talent and financial resources.
At this time, Yan Zhehui opened his mouth and asked: "Do you have any plans for Brother Zhao in the future, do you plan to continue to run the business of a businessman, or will you take the exam in the future and become a jinshi!" ”
Zhao Dezhao narrowed his eyes and said, "The elders in the family want me to take the Jinshi exam." ”
"Oh!" Yan Zhehui inquired, "Brother Zhao is talented! ”
"Don't dare to ......" Zhao Dezhao felt that some of the words behind him were deliberately asked by Yan Zhehui, and he didn't answer very sincerely.
……
In the hall, Yan Zhehui and Zhao Dezhao talked happily, and at this time, Zhao Dezhao suddenly gossiped: "I have a question just now, but I don't know if my uncle can answer it, Uncle Yan's father is Yan Hui's descendants?"
Yan Zhehui's eyes suddenly showed a look of surprise, and he immediately swept his beard and said, "This ...... Brother Zhao's observation is good, how did you observe. “
"I passed by the shadow wall just in time, saw Confucius praising Yan Hui's words, and saw the "Yan's Family Motto" on the table, and I was sure that there was no doubt, and I was just guessing."
Yan Zhehui said: "Yes, Brother Zhao, my Yan family is indeed the descendant of Yan Hui in the Spring and Autumn Period, and the descendant of Yan Zhenqing in the Tang Dynasty!" ”
"Respect, admiration! I see! I didn't expect to be able to meet the descendants of the Yan family. Zhao Dezhao said with a smile.
……
After the two talked, they had been talking in the hall for more than an hour, and now it was almost noon, Zhao Dezhao suddenly felt hungry in his stomach, suddenly remembered the matter of the restaurant, patted his head, and sighed: "Uncle Yan, now I still have important things to do, so I won't bother, farewell!" ”
"It's about to be eaten, so why don't you go eat first." Yan Zhehui smiled and asked Zhao Dezhao to have used Chinese food.
"It's good!" Zhao Dezhao felt that if he continued like this, he would feel crazy, this uncle was really weird, and he just hoped that he would be able to get out after dinner, he vaguely felt that something was wrong with this matter, and he suddenly felt from Yan Zhehui's eyes and tone that this person was not simple, and he didn't know what he was doing.
After lunch, Zhao Dezhao also said goodbye to Yan Zhehui.
Zhao Dezhao said to Yan Mujuan: "Juan'er, I have something to go back first." If you have time, I'll talk about it another day. ”
Yan Muwan said: "Brother Zhao, you have something to do first!" Wan'er interrupted. By the way, if you go to the south of the city, I'll ask the coachman to send you. ”
Zhao Dezhao said: "Then how embarrassing? ”
"I'm bothering you today."
Immediately, Zhao Dezhao left Yan's mansion and took someone's car to the south of the city.
