Chapter 44: Shen Wuyan's View of Right and Wrong
The name Gu Dingchen has been dead in Suzhou for more than ten years, but what he brought to Suzhou has remained until now.
At that time, he was the one who anticipated the woes in time, so he wrote ahead of time to build the city wall on the Kunshan side, so that Suzhou was spared a war a few years later. In addition, he wrote a letter asking for a tax reduction for Suzhou, which also changed the status quo of Suzhou's high taxes since the founding of the Ming Dynasty.
As a scholar of Wenyuan Pavilion that year, even if Gu Dingchen later went into hiding, his status in Suzhou could not be ignored, and there were many people in the literary world who touted it, but Gu Lao turned a blind eye to it.
"This restaurant was not as ostentatious as it was intended, and it has never relied on my father's momentum, and today it relies on the support of these guys to the shopkeeper, and the second is the secret support of Mr. Xu."
Shen Wuyan had guessed Gu Qingshan's identity before, he was extremely famous among the literati in Suzhou, he was said to be the first genius in Suzhou, and he made friends with the children of a family like Zhang Boning, and even had a lot of relationship with the former Jinshi Wang Zhenming, it was indeed difficult to judge.
It's just that in many conjectures, there is no idea of the young owner of the Yuelou, after all, literati and businessmen...... The difference between these is too big, how can Gu Qingshan be in business?
"Brother Wuyan doesn't need to think about it, with your talents, I haven't thought of why you opened a teahouse, if you can become an official, you will definitely become a pillar, but you are so ruthless in business."
Shen Wuyan knew what Gu Qingshan was referring to, it was nothing more than a tea party at Duanyang.
"At that time, Zhenming really thought that he had done you, which Cheng wanted to just order tea from Jiangsu and Zhejiang, and the rain started, and then Taihu Lake burst the embankment, so I couldn't even count on the tea after a year...... It turned out that my Yuelou was also counted. ”
Shen Wuyan smiled faintly: "In fact, there are not many people who can skillfully see this, Brother Gu is one." ”
The playfulness on Gu Qingshan's face gradually faded, and he continued: "The key point of this matter lies in the flooding of Taihu Lake and the long-lasting heavy rain, if there were no such celestial phenomena, how could we lose this battle." ”
After a pause, he continued: "Speaking of which, Brother Shen is also strange, do you know that there will be this flood this year?" ”
Originally, I didn't know that there was such a thing as a flood, because even the prefect Xu Shangzhen couldn't believe it, but it did happen, Shen Wuyan also felt strange at the time, and later it could only be attributed to feelings.
After all, he came from another world, and this era was already a past for Shen Wuyan, and many things happened, maybe it was a little feeling.
"Sixth sense?" Shen Wuyan sighed slightly: "It's not easy to explain, Brother Gu just think I can call the wind and rain." ”
Gu Qingshan didn't care much about Shen Wuyan's obviously perfunctory answer, he thought he was blind, but he could guess so accurately, but it was really powerful, he just quipped: "Could it be that you are a monkey." ”
"Speaking of Sun Monkey, I think of another person......" Gu Qingshan threw the fan in his hand aside and said with a smile: "The story written by this person is what makes people think ...... it." ”
"Golden Plum?" Speaking of imagination, Shen Wuyan also smiled playfully.
"Golden Plum? And what. Gu Qingshan hurriedly waved his hand and said, "I'm talking about Wu Chengen, Mr. Wu." ”
"Oh?" This name is more familiar to Shen Wuyan, when he was very young, he was surprisingly sensitive to this name, and at the same time there was another name, Liuxiao Lingtong.
"Mr. Wu is in Zhou Yuan now, and he will also go to the Zhou Garden Poetry Meeting in the Mid-Autumn Festival." Gu Qingshan said proudly.
It is said that Gu Qingshan advocates the style of the Tang Dynasty and has Li Taibai's bones, so he would not like these strange novels, not to mention that "Journey to the West" was listed as ** at that time, and Wu Chengen's fame was not so loud.
It's just that since Shen Wuyan's "Stone Record", followed by "Liao Zhai", so Gu Qingshan, who sang the purple smoke from the sunshine incense burner and watched the waterfall hanging in front of the river, is now obsessed with painting people and painting skins and bones......
"Don't say it, although this "Journey to the West" is about the wind of the Tang Dynasty, but it seems to reflect the atmosphere of the present dynasty, Mr. Wu is really talented, speaking of the current literature, only the wordless "Stone Story" can be compared...... I don't know what will happen after the book "Liao Zhai" is completed. ”
Gu Qingshan didn't know that hundreds of years later, this "Stone Story" and "Journey to the West" were already known as the four famous novels, and the turmoil set off later lasted for a long time.
However, Shen Wuyan is more concerned about the situation on Wu Chengen's side, if he has the opportunity to discuss the journey to the west with him, it is also a great joy in life, so the Zhou Yuan Poetry Club, which was extremely rejected before, is very yearning for this matter.
"I communicated with Zhou Yan before, saying that Mr. Wu also admired you for a long time, so I planned to invite you to talk with Mr. Wu, but I was afraid that you would not go because of your cold temperament, so I asked me to ask."
Having already said this, Shen Wuyan was also extremely reluctant, so he responded: "This will definitely be the past...... It's just a matter of time, a friend has a marriage, and the time has to be arranged. ”
It was unfortunate that everything was in the Mid-Autumn Festival, but the discussion with Li Wan'er's marriage made Shen Wuyan a little helpless, although the meaning of Xu Jie's side was not obvious, Shen Wuyan was very clear.
Three years ago, Zhao Wenhua, the godson of Shoufu Yan Song, was impeached and demoted, and he died because of a stomachache and rubbing his stomach on the way.
Shen Wuyan thought about this matter for a long time after knowing it, and he didn't figure out why he would die if he rubbed his stomach, but it was certain that Yan Xiang's position was not as stable as it was.
Although Hu Zongxian has been very disdainful of being with Yan Xiang over the years, he has been very close to each other, and everyone knows that the relationship between Hu Zongxian and Yan Song is not ordinary, so he is naturally set as one of the Yan Party.
Now Hu Zongxian's side asks the Hu family to take all kinds of actions, all of which are to act cautiously, although the Li family does not accept the Hu family, but in the eyes of outsiders, there is already an internal connection.
Therefore, once there are major changes in the DPRK and China, when the whole body is involved, the Li family will inevitably suffer, which is called the so-called prosperity and glory.
At this time, Deyuelou put aside all these connections, no matter how the court changes in the future, there will be no problem.
Now Xu Jie's intention is also to let Shen Wuyan stay away from the Li family, anyway, there is a reason for the Li family's divorce before, if this matter is hyped up, the connection between the two families will be completely abandoned.
That's a clever trick.
Shen Wuyan pondered for a moment and said: "My marriage with the Li family, I'm afraid it will also be arranged around the Mid-Autumn Festival, speaking of which, Wan'er and Brother Gu also know each other." ”
Gu Qingshan and Li Wan'er only have one side, and they were both a long time ago, after all, there is a woman from the Shangjia family, and this is the first talent in Suzhou, so it is difficult to contact each other.
“…… Mr. Xu's meaning is actually my meaning, not because of Boning or anything, but it will indeed be unfavorable to Brother Shen. ”
Shen Wuyan smiled slightly, when the cabinet scholars were able to look sideways at him, it must be because someone mentioned it, and after working with Gu Qingshan for a period of time, it was obvious that he did have the chivalrous style of the Tang Dynasty.
Shen Wuyan coughed lightly and sighed slightly: "If you draw a line with your own in-laws because of your own safety, you can't say anything about it...... Even though it seems hypocritical, I'm actually afraid of death...... It's just that the big husband has something to do, and he must do something. ”
The words were very flat, and there was a smile between them, as casual as homely gossip, but Gu Qingshan heard a lot of them, and he found that he still didn't know much about Shen Wuyan.
“…… That's fine, since Brother Shen insists on doing so...... I will do everything in my power to keep you safe. ”
Shen Wuyan shook his head and said with a smile: "Although the so-called tens of millions of people have been in the past, I used to have this kind of courage, but now I won't be so disproportionate, since I do it, I know the consequences...... Brother Gu thanked him in advance for his kindness. ”
This small talk with Gu Qingshan began a few days before the Mid-Autumn Festival and ended after the afternoon.
Shen Wuyan met a person after leaving Deyue Tower, this person was smiling, very good-looking, although it was suspected of being vassally elegant to shake the folding fan in early autumn, but that person was quite suitable to use.
After the man saw Shen Wuyan, he was also stunned, but just hugged his fists and said, "Next week, it's strict." ”
Shen Wuyan said in his heart that this was Zhou Yan of Zhou Yuan, and immediately replied with a fist: "Shen Wuyan." ”
Originally, Zhou Yan was in a hurry, and it seemed that something was wrong, but after learning that the person in front of him was Shen Wuyan, his eagerness suddenly disappeared, and he hurriedly said: "I have heard of Shen Gongzi's name for a long time, and I have been saying that I didn't have time to visit him, but I met it here this time." ”
After a few pleasantries, the two parted. When they met for the first time, Zhou Yan gave Shen Wuyan the feeling that this person was really scheming, and after a few conversations, he couldn't find anything.
After the other person walked out of Deyue Tower, he did not rush back to his shop, but went down to Lilac Lane with a group of men.
Among them, the bearded man pointed to the teahouse with the signboard of the Xingbake branch not far away and said: "This is the teahouse, it is the one opened by Shen Wuyan, find a chance to give him some color." ”
A lean man with a hooked nose standing beside the bearded man frowned slightly, and said in a low voice: "This small shop, can we use our brothers' hands?" ”
The bearded man turned around and slapped his face like a hooked nose and said: "It's all said, don't underestimate that scholar, he is a master of using poison, and he accidentally fell for his conspiracy." ”
Sinking slightly, he continued: "You didn't know it in the tearoom just now, he just grabbed my sleeve with his hand, and I was paralyzed and weak, and until now I still lack strength, let alone how powerful it is. ”
"A master of poison?" The hooked nose trembled slightly, and he hurriedly whispered: "That's a martial arts master, which of our brothers is the opponent...... Or...... Go to Yulong Street and ask for some good hands. ”
"Waste, don't spend money on someone." The bearded man said angrily: "He is only one person who is powerful with poison, and there are more than a dozen of our brothers, can you still be afraid of him?" Let's go back and think long-term. ”
