Chapter 423: Gratitude
If you want to talk about peace, if you want to talk about the battle, these four lines of poetry are definitely not neat and strict - even if they were originally neat and tight, but Xu Xun changed the third sentence beyond recognition on a whim, and it is natural to find faults. (Genius only takes 3 seconds to remember.) However, in addition to the small person who just made a public attack, there are also literary bigwigs like Lin Hanzhang and Zhang Fuhua, who are fighting against each other, but the artistic conception in these four poems makes them feel extraordinary.
Seeing that everyone around him was looking at him, Xu Xun, who had finished chanting these four sentences, turned his head and looked directly at the person who had just lifted him, and then said with a smile: "I don't dare to be this young hero just now." However, if someone thinks that I, Xu Xun, can have today, but only because of the opportunity and luck are a little better than others, then they also underestimate me! It is said that the times create heroes, but it can be seen that the times have come, the opportunity has come, and they can make painful decisions, which is not something that everyone can do! Therefore, since ancient times, even if we know that the infinite scenery is in the dangerous peak, there are very few people who can climb the dangerous peak and even stand on the dangerous peak! ”
After saying this, he lifted the wine jug again and filled the small wine glass in front of him, and then held the glass in one hand and saluted it from afar, and then said calmly: "Although my father has won the title, and I have now made some small achievements because of my military exploits, I Xu Xun will not forget that I walked out of Nanjing!" If it weren't for Wei Guogong, Master Zhang, and Gonggong Fu and Gonggong Zheng who reached out to me and pulled me when I was in danger, if you and the officials and people of Nanjing could distinguish between loyalty, treachery, good and evil, and distinguish between right and wrong, there would be no me today, so this glass of wine, I, Xu Xun, am here to pay tribute to you! ”
Seeing that Xu Xun drank it all, even though Xu Liang didn't know what Xu Xun was planning, he also stood up. He has always been bold, and directly ordered to change the big bowl, poured a big bowl and said loudly: "My Xu family father and son can return to Nanjing this time, needless to say, the grace of heaven is mighty, but as the dog said, thanks to your bright eyes, I let the traitor give the head and return justice to my father and son." I didn't know how to speak, so I drank this bowl, thank you very much! ”
The father and son came to this show one after another, whether they had other plans before, or just followed the trend to join in the fun, or people like Xu Li, the Duke of Wei, who originally planned to sell well, were all a little caught off guard. Fortunately, when he was in the previous ranking, Xu Li sat between Xu Liang and Xu Li because of Xu Xun's insistence, and at this time, he had to remind him in a low voice, and Xu Li, the Duke of Wei, immediately stood up quickly and was the first to give a toast. With him taking the lead, Fu Rong didn't care at all that after he and Zheng Qiang fell behind, he pulled people together and smiled and saluted Xu Liang Xu Xun, and sighed: "It's a pity that Lord Wu is gone, if he sees this scene, he will be very happy." ”
The current Yin Luheng of the Tianfu Mansion did not show up for some reason, and even if he did, it would not be as good as Wu Xiong's honest reputation in Nanjing. Therefore, Fu Rong has a little heart, even if he wants to re-expose the old things, he can't help but get stuck at this moment, not to mention thinking of this upright and honest predecessor Fu Yin, Zhang Mao and others who were a little sad for a while. When they saw Xu Liang and Xu Xun silently pouring a full cup and slowly pouring it on the ground in front of them, there was even more silence around them.
Zhang Mao looked at the wine on the ground, and it took a long time before he stood up and drank most of the residual wine in his small wine glass, and then looked at Xu Xun and said word by word: "When Lord Wu tried the case with illness, he not only gave justice to your father and son, but also to the Shen family, and also to the people who were victimized. These days, there are quite a lot of gossips in Nanjing, and some people even find the old man to reprimand him, which is nothing more than an inside story about the events of the year. Here today, the old man has a word that he doesn't vomit or is unhappy. Back then, Zhao Qin's case once joked that the first case in Jinling involved hundreds of bitter masters, even if he couldn't trust Jinyiwei who investigated and handled the matter, could it be that there were still people who couldn't trust the upright and honest Lord Wu? Lin Han and Zhang Fuhua glanced at each other, remembering the situation when Zhang Mao had introduced Xu Xun in front of them, and then tasting Xu Xun's previous four lines of extraordinary poems, the balance in his heart that was already tilted fell in one direction. As Zhang Mao sat down, although there was gradually some noise and discussion at the reception banquet, no one stood up to question the difficulty, and the person who had just provoked Xu Xun to compose a poem in public was even drunk and lay on the table, and he didn't know whether he was really sleeping or fake sleeping.
A reception banquet opened the situation after Xu Xun's four lines of poetry and a toast. When the banquet was dismissed, seeing that people were leaving one after another, Fu Rong smiled and asked Xu Xun to temporarily stay in his other business, Xu Xun readily agreed to come down, but first set a time with Zhang Mao to visit him next time, and then went out with Xu Liang. In front of the carriage, he heard Tao Hongyu report that Shen Yue had already returned to Shen's house with Shen Guang and Shen Ke, so he pondered for a while and helped Xu Liang to get into the car first.
"Dad, you just drank a lot, and the water journey is also hard, so go back and rest first. I borrowed Uncle Six's car to take a ride and say a few words, so I could visit Yue'er's grandmother and see if I would like to take her back. ”
"It's fine."
Xu Liang had never changed the small cup since he had served the big bowl before, and he really drank a little too much, and he was really dizzy at this time. So he nodded and agreed, seeing that Xu Xun ordered Ah Bao to get in the car and follow, he suddenly opened the curtain with one hand and reminded: "If your daughter-in-law wants to stay at her mother's house for two days, you will agree to her, you must know that she has been away from home for a long time, and filial piety is important." ”
"Okay, I understand!"
Seeing Xu Liang's carriage set off, when Fu Rong's carriage came, Xu Xun whispered to him to make an appointment, this group of people passed, he saw Tao Hong leading the horse, he waved his hand, but he signaled to Xu Yu to go with the car. Hearing this, Xu Yi was flattered for a while, and after getting on the car, he said vigorously: "This carriage is simple, please ...... uncle."
"Sixth Uncle, there is no need to say these kind words between you and me. If it weren't for you today, I might have been calculated. ”
Where would Xu Xun take this seriously, he didn't even dare to say it, secretly thinking that even if he had already ventilated, Xu Xun had never brought Tang Yin's great talent by his side, and he could make such a poem in a hurry, so there was no possibility of being calculated. On the one hand, he secretly sighed that the Xu family was really blind in the early years of Taiping, and he missed such a talent, and on the other hand, he was glad that he had burned the cold stove early and formed a good fate, and his attitude was naturally more and more humble. It wasn't until Xu Xun asked about the affairs of the clan that he came back to his senses and immediately sat up straight.
"I discussed this matter with the fourth brother, he was very happy, and asked me if it was really your idea, and I repeatedly assured him that he would put his mind at ease, saying that he would open the ancestral hall in a few days to gather a group of people, and said that I would invite my uncle to come. He also said that the Xu family was sorry for the uncle in Taipingli back then, and now he wants you to come up with money, he is really ashamed of himself, and he wants to lead the clan to thank and apologize. ”
Acknowledgments......
Xu Xun unconsciously hooked the corners of his mouth up a lot, but his mouth agreed very happily. After chatting with Xu Zhen about how to persuade him to learn and persuade him to make progress, after a while, the carriage stopped, he originally thought that this was Xu Yuan's house, but when the car door opened and the curtain rolled up, he found that it was the gate of the Shen family.
After about two years, at first glance, he only felt that the bluestone pavement that he looked neat and wide at the time seemed narrow and old now, and the tall walls of the mansions along the road were now a little mottled, and he couldn't help but stand for a moment after getting off the carriage. After just a short while, someone was already recognized at the door of the Shen family.
Yan Da and Yan Er are both old men of the Shen family. Although Xu Xun was dressed plainly, he was almost the same as when he first came to the door to submit a book, but he had grown a little taller, but in their eyes, it was completely different. The annoying loser who submitted the letter back then is now a high-ranking official in the court that they can't even imagine, and he is also married to the eldest lady of his own family. Therefore, when they saw people standing in front of the door, one of the brothers pulled out his legs and reported the news, and the other hurriedly came out and knelt down and kowtowed. …,
"Little Yan Er, see my uncle!"
Xu Xun saw that the Shen family had recognized him, so he turned back to Xu Zhen and said, "Sixth Uncle, please go back first, what you said before, just go back and let someone send a post to Pearl Bridge." ”
Xu Yi originally planned to leave the carriage, but seeing that Xu Xun insisted on not using it, thinking that it was too late for the Shen family to marry the new uncle, not to mention a carriage, even ten and eight cars would be ready, so he said goodbye, but saw Xu Xun enter the door with Yan Er, and then got in the car and turned around and went home. Sitting in the car, he was silent for a long time, and then he smiled and said, "Shen Guang is so blessed that he has raised a good daughter!" ”
Xu Zhen's emotion is an old word that countless people have recited. Even Shen Fang, who was recuperating in bed, couldn't help but hold Shen Yue's hand and sit up straight when she heard the message from outside saying that Xu Xun was coming, until after a while, a girl opened the curtain and saw a young man with sword eyebrows striding into the door, she took a deep breath, and grabbed Shen Yue involuntarily with one hand, waiting to see someone to salute herself, she squirmed her lips and was about to stop it, but in the end she still held back, but she insisted on reaching out to help Xu Xun herself, Then he watched Xu Xun salute Mrs. Shen. Mrs. Shen was not as bearable as her, and she leaned a little crampedly.
After seeing the ceremony, Shen Fangshi opened his mouth and said, "Yue'er has a husband like you, and I don't have anything to worry about in the future." ”
"You still have to live and take care of yourself, you don't have to worry about other things." Xu Xun smiled slightly, and waited until he sat down on the Jindun that someone had moved, and then said, "Today, because of the reception banquet set up by a group of adults, my father was a little drunk, so I was late." But Dad said, if you want to keep Yue'er to talk more, let her stay in the Shen family for two days. ”
Although Mrs. Shen was overjoyed when she heard this, she still couldn't help but hesitate: "She is now the wife of the Xu family, will she ...... when she comes back from this house?"
"Filial piety is as great as the sky, and besides, she was ordered to come back to save her relatives, so what is it to stay at home for two days." After saying this, Xu Xun smiled at Shen Yue and said, "This makes your wish come true, if you want to stay for a few days, you can stay for a few days!" When my grandmother recovers, March and April are the best times for the scenery in the south of the Yangtze River, let's go boating on Xuanwu Lake! ”
ps: In history, there were two groups of people in the Ming Dynasty who called the Four Gentlemen of Nandu, one was Zhang Fuhua, Lin Hanlin, Junzhangmao, and the later generation was Hu Shining, Li Chengxun, Wei Xiao, and Yu Youshan. The latter group of people seems to have a lower official position and a less famous reputation than the previous group, but they are from the same period, so in order to avoid confusion, the first batch is used......
