Chapter 37: Is there a mistake?
There are ancient sayings: "A gentleman has no reason, and jade does not leave his body", "A gentleman who thinks of words, is as warm as jade". Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info
Why did the ancients always like to tie the gentleman and the jade together? Probably because the light of jade is always on the inside rather than on the outside.
No edge, no publicity, no great sorrow and joy, no paranoia and agitation, graceful and calm, open-minded and chic.
Therefore, if you want to describe a person as "a gentleman like jade", it is definitely a very high evaluation.
This is much more exaggerated than Zheng Hai's description of Qin Xin's eyebrows, broad eyes, and graceful demeanor at the beginning, and it is no wonder that both Cai Song and even the guest suddenly have a deeper interest in Qin Xin.
It's just that I'm afraid that Zang Contempt's evaluation was influenced by the civilians of Zheng Yi.
For example, Qin Xin knelt for three days and three nights to ask for a divine doctor. Zang Wei probably said that Qin Xin was probably because he heard about Qin Xin and felt that Qin Xin had a good character, coupled with his extraordinary appearance, so he described Qin Xin as a gentleman like jade.
……
It's been two days later.
Cai Song, the guest, plus Zang Cong, and a fifteen or sixteen-year-old white slender figure with a veil on their faces, came to Zhengyi together as promised.
Compared with Shang Cai, Zheng Yi is just a small city, more than a little behind Shang Cai.
There is not much of a hundred production workshops, and the whole is still dominated by agricultural planting, but there are a lot of silk fabrics produced every year, this is because in terms of population structure ratio, Zhengyi is mostly female, in fact, it is not an exaggeration to say that Zhengyi is a city where women are the masters of the house.
Zheng Yi's woven fabrics, such as various silk, linen, and kudzu fabrics and clothes, have always been Zheng Yi's main means of making money from the outside world.
As for other means of making money......
That's selling all kinds of food. In this era, rice was often sold at a higher price than other products such as millet, barley, and wheat because of its higher cultivation requirements and scarce yields. And Zhengyi, which happens to be geographically good, has always been the main area of rice, so it often sells good things to high-quality people by selling rice and then buying back wheat, etc., but eats low-grade ones himself, so as to slowly accumulate wealth little by little.
The sun had just risen overhead, and a group of four people soon came to Zhengyi, and Zhengyi, which was close to noon, felt a little lonely overall. Most of us are either still working in the fields or are often hiding at home, preparing lunch.
"It seems like four or five years, right?" The guest looked at the word 'Zhengyi' at the city gate and said, "I haven't been here for seven or eight years, and I feel that the change is a bit big." ”
Cai Song heard the guest say this, but he didn't realize it at all, in Cai Song's opinion, it was just that the road was much wider than seven or eight years ago, and in addition, the environment was much cleaner than seven or eight years ago.
However, this is all normal, after all, everything is moving forward, and Zheng Yi is no exception. Maybe it's because he comes every six months or a few months, so it's not as easy to feel as the guest.
"This is Zheng Yi?" The fifteen or sixteen-year-old white figure standing among the uncle-level people was also looking around a little curiously. Probably, because she had never been here before. Today, I heard that her father was going to see a gentleman who was as gentle as jade, so he pestered him to follow. So the question is, where is the gentleman who is as gentle as jade now?
At the gate of Zhengyi City, the doorman saw the appearance of Cai Song and his party, and he woke up from his drowsiness, probably recognizing Cai Song, after all, he was very easy to recognize, and he also belonged to an old acquaintance, so he hurriedly came up to salute, and then went to inform the lord of Yi.
Originally, the group also had the idea of a private visit to Weifu, but when they thought that they also brought a delicate woman with them, and Zheng Yi was so small, they could see if there were strangers coming in and out, so they thought about it, and went directly to the home visit.
So after entering Zhengyi, it didn't take long for the group to arrive at Zheng's house.
And Meng Zheng suddenly heard that Cai Guoxiao's secretary Cai Song had visited, which was also a bit of a surprise. set up a banquet in the front hall to entertain him, and took out a serious appearance of the head of the Zheng family. It seems that this is the first time that she has been in charge for so long, and the Zheng family has had a guest.
Cai Song and Meng Zheng knew each other, because in the past, Cai Song and Zheng He were very good friends in private, but they ...... That guest, Meng Zheng really felt a little strange.
When Meng Zheng saw this guest, this guest was also able to catch a glimpse of Meng Zheng's face. praised and said: "I have heard that Zheng Jiameng Zheng's skin is better than snow, delicate and incomparable, and the complexion is beautiful, and it cannot be forced to look at, but when I saw it this year, it was so." ”
Probably because of the precipitation in the past six months, the current Meng Zheng, in addition to his black hair, has a more beautiful and elegant face. It is indeed a little more 'unforgivable' than at the beginning.
"Thanks for the compliment, but this is ......"
Cai Song then told the identity of the guest, which made Meng Zheng a little surprised, but there was also a question, why did this guest come to Zhengyi? Then I found out that I was looking for her husband. But unfortunately, Qin Xin happened to be not at home today.
To be precise, Qin Xin went out in the morning, saying that he would help collect medicine, as for when he would come back, he really didn't know, I was afraid it would be at least evening.
And then......
Cai Song and his party were a little embarrassed. A few people chatted a little later, during which Cai Song mentioned that Qin Xin knelt in front of the Divine Doctor's House for three days and three nights, which could be regarded as patting Meng Zheng's sycophants, but he didn't want to, Meng Zheng replied honestly: It's all misinformation, it's a soap subordinate of our Zheng Yi who chased the senior brother who went down the mountain for three days and three nights. Her husband ate, drank, slept and had fun at someone's house for three days.
The impression of the gentleman Ruyu dropped a lot all of a sudden, but this still couldn't shake the foundation, and then Cai Song asked Meng Zheng again, whether her husband was full of poetry and books, and was familiar with etiquette, Meng Zheng was more honest, saying that Qin Xin had always been very casual (to people), but he didn't think that her husband was very particular about etiquette. often goes to herd sheep with his servants, and he can also brag and fart with the civilians of Zhengyi. Like Zheng Li's family, they get along very happily. As for the academic aspect...... Because he didn't have too much impression of his husband's high knowledge, Meng Zheng also said bluntly, as if it was not as exaggerated as they described.
As soon as such details came out, slowly, the impression of Qin Xin in everyone's minds slowly became crooked. I wondered, did Zang Yan make a mistake before? And after Zang Yan heard it, he also felt a little embarrassed. During this period, Meng Zheng asked Cai Song what she was looking for her husband to do? Cai Song brought up the bumper harvest of the rice fields, and Meng Zheng's evaluation of the bumper harvest of the rice fields was very pertinent, and her husband did have a little research in this regard. Whether she wants to be an official or not is not something she can determine, and probably her husband does not have that ability, although she also feels a little flattered.
After the home visit......
Cai Song said to Zang with a little annoyance: "Maybe it's just a little clever person, but you have to describe it as 'a gentleman like jade'." "Now look at it, it doesn't matter if he's disappointed, it's important to let the guest see the joke.
After the group separated......
"I think that guy is funny." The white slender figure said suddenly.
"Why do you say that?" Her father asked her.
The slender figure replied: "Think about it, how can a person make people have so many different evaluations. ”
"And which one do you think is the most plausible assessment?" Her father asked.
"I don't think either is reasonable. One is too exaggerated, and the other is too humble. ”
When you go back......
The father and daughter happened to see someone in a small forest in front of them in the carriage, and then passed by, among them, there was a man in Tsing Yi who seemed to have a temperament a little different from that of ordinary civilians, carrying a basket, and behind the man in Tsing Yi, there was a girl with freckles on her face, also carrying a basket. In addition, behind the freckled girl, there is a person who seems to be younger and holds a sheep. A quirky combination of three people.
Vaguely, I only heard the echoes of 'dial', 'slope', 'touch', 'Buddha', 'de', 'special', 'ne', and 'go'.
By the time the father and daughter reacted—the man might have been the one they had been looking at before—the carriage had already gone for an unknown distance.
I wanted to turn around and go back, but look at the sky......
