[Chapter 23: The Walker Walks, Before Leaving Beijing]
"Ahh Shen Yun sneezed heavily, rubbed his sour nose, and muttered, "So those three people ran away again?" ”
"yes, sneeze. Mano was so cunning, he actually came back with a rifle, and Ruyu and I didn't notice it for a while, and we were almost caught by them. Fortunately, the guards reacted quickly enough, otherwise, Ah Yan, I'm afraid I wouldn't have seen you! Fang Cheng also sneezed one after another, endlessly.
"Yo yo, it's all like jade?! Ah, your relationship is progressing so fast! ”
"Ah, can you be serious? I'm innocent with Ruyu! ”
……
"You two don't quarrel a few words, you don't stop talking as soon as you meet, and you don't understand...... The point is, who is Ruyu? He Kuan lay on the top bunk and asked strangely.
This is the Imperial University dormitory building. Shen Yun and Fang Cheng are emperors who have returned one after the other. However, the two of them also caught a cold. Shen Yun "donated" all his clothes to Tu Tianjiao, and Fang Cheng, cough, according to his own words, was to take care of patients with "hypochondria". As for the specifics, I really don't know.
Fang Cheng kept this matter very secret, and even Shen Yun didn't know the details. I only knew that Yan Ruyu and Fang Cheng had escorted the three of Segwei to the Sacrifice Banner Slope Inn for less than an hour, and a team of ten people rushed into the inn to rescue them. By the time the innkeeper mobilized his men to stop him, the other party had already fled.
In this process, Fang Cheng was fine, but Yan Ruyu was slightly injured. Fortunately, the people who answered Tu Tianjiao felt it in time, and then sent them back to Luoyang. After that, Fang Cheng was sent directly back to the Imperial University dormitory.
Hearing He Kuan's question, Shen Yun directly threw a roll of his eyes: "Read your book well, Zi said, don't listen to indecent things, you should listen to the teachings of the sage!" ”
"Yuan Rangjun, this sentence is from the twelfth Yan Yuan in the Analects, Yan Yuan asked Ren, and Zi said......"
"Stop, stop, don't talk." Shen Yun saw that He Kuan was about to start dropping his book bag. Immediately, the head is as big as a bucket. As soon as the quilt was covered, he fell asleep: "I will go to the saint in my dream, and I won't mess with you ordinary people." ”
"Hehe, Yuan Rang is like this, when it comes to the Analects, I have a headache. Ji Ru doesn't have to pay attention to him! Fang Cheng pulled a piece of paper from the table, wiped his nose, and said, "That's right." Why didn't you see Dou Zida? You didn't read a book together today? ”
He Kuan said: "It's almost the New Year, Brother Zida has already gone home to help first, you also know that their family has a workshop, and the business is good at the end of the year!" After the New Year, we will go to the Executive Yuan for an internship. At that time, I am afraid that I will help the family a lot. ”
"Oh? You and Zida both passed the annual exam? Assigned to which yamen? Fang Cheng muttered in a heavy nasal voice.
"I was in the Executive Yuan, registered in the Ministry of Households, and assigned to the supernumerary Lang of the Du Zhi Division. Zida was lucky and went directly to the Senate of the Executive Yuan, which is close to the cabinet! Tut-tut......" He Kuan's words were full of envy.
At this time, Fang Cheng was already a little dizzy, sleepy, and responded vaguely. "Hmm. That's good, then why don't you go home......" The voice became deeper and deeper. Gradually inaudible.
He Kuan also noticed something unusual, and looked down to see that Shen Yun and Fang Cheng were asleep in the quilt, and Shen Yun even snored directly, and the one he slept on was called a sweet one, and he couldn't help but smile bitterly and shook his head, so he didn't speak again.
Quiet time, quiet walking.
In this imperial university, everything is so peaceful. The peace and comfort of the Han Empire from the bones can only be experienced here.
※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※
When Shen Yun woke up, he was already on the rise. The sun is shining outside the window, and the evergreen branches have a layer of crystal snowflakes, which are still slowly melting in the sun. The white reflects the rare emerald green in winter, and everything makes people comfortable from the inside out.
Stretching his waist greatly, Shen Yun let out a long breath, and the comfort was almost about to explode. Looking at Fang Cheng again, he also got up and twisted his waist and crooked his neck, and said with a smile: "What? Still having a neck pain? Why don't you come to my store later and ask Dr. Zhou to prescribe a side medicine for you? ”
Fang Cheng tried to squirm, but it still hurt a little, so he said, "Okay, just don't charge me too expensive!" ”
"Haha, it's definitely less than the Imperial Hospital. By the way, we're going to end this semester, right? So what should we do next semester? ”
Fang Cheng covered his neck and suddenly said, "What time is it today?" ”
Shen Yun pondered carefully for a while, and said affirmatively: "I don't know!" ”
Rolling his eyes at this person who had forgotten the date, Fang Cheng looked up at the calendar on He Kuan's shop, and exclaimed: "Oops, this afternoon is the year-end meeting, and the Lord of the Wine Festival is going to give a speech!" ”
"Year-end meeting? Do you want it every year? Shen Yun asked confusedly.
Fang Cheng hurriedly packed up his clothes, and said, "You hurry up and clean up, I hope you still have time to catch up...... We will enter the graduation period at the end of next spring, and this year's meeting will only be open to us, if we don't go, it will give a bad impression to the priest, and it will be bad if he leaves a flaw in the comments every day, and he will be despised wherever he goes! ”
"Oh." Shen Yun was not very excited when he heard it. It's just a year-end meeting, or the leader speaks, the kind that talks for half a day, it's not interesting at all.
Just, will you graduate next year? I remember that in my last life, I didn't experience the feeling of graduating from college...... The brother who slept on my top bunk, are he and his daughter-in-law okay?
"Forget it," Fang Cheng suddenly relaxed, sat at the head of the bed and said dejectedly: "It's really not interesting to participate in the year-end party. You and I don't have to worry about the future, I really don't know if it's good or bad? ”
It's still interesting to see a good student suddenly sigh like a rogue classmate.
"Oh? How do you feel about publishing? Shen Yun leaned over and said with a grin.
Fang Cheng glanced at him and sighed, "There is no emotion. I just feel like time flies. The ancients said that the deceased is like a husband, and he will not deceive me. Think about last year today, you didn't have the heart to drink flower wine everywhere, laughing at beauties, not knowing sorrow all day long, causing trouble everywhere, and striving to be the first gentleman in the imperial capital! Now it also shoulders the rise and fall of the Bohai family. And I, who was still the son of the family today last year, had no family burden, and thought that after graduation, I would find a good yamen, work hard, and strive to get a knighthood before the age of forty, so as not to fall into the prestige of the Huainan Marquis family...... But now, the eldest brother and the second brother have died on the battlefield one after another, how sad Jia Yan Jiaci should be! I will also have to bear the rise and fall of the Huainan Hou family, how can I bear such a burden alone? Every time I think about it. I'm not interested in anything...... Alas. ”
Take a look at the voice of a rich second generation and the second generation of officials! This is a person from a real aristocratic family! Those modern losers and money-worshippers. Let's reflect on it!
Shen Yun saw the heaviness of what he said, thought about it, walked to the desk, picked up the paper and pen and wrote, and handed it to Fang Cheng after a while.
"What?" Fang Cheng took it in confusion, only to see that it was written: "Those who abandon me must not stay yesterday." Those who disturb my heart will have many troubles today. The long wind sends autumn geese. You can be a tall building for this. Penglai's article is built on the bones, and Xiao Xie is clear in the middle. All of them want to fly with great joy and want to go to the blue sky to see the bright moon. Draw the knife and cut off the water, the water is more flowing, and the glass is more sorrowful. Life is not satisfactory in the world, and the Ming Dynasty spreads flat boats. ”
Fang transcribed it twice, and suddenly his eyes lit up. Looking up at Shen Yundao, "This is ...... Did you do it? ”
Shen Yun smiled: "An elder I admire gave it to me." I think it should be exactly what you're feeling right now. Yesterday's day is not to be kept, and today's day is full of troubles. Draw the knife and cut off the water, the water is more flowing, and the glass is more sorrowful. Life is not satisfactory in the world, and the Ming Dynasty spreads flat boats. That's all.
In fact, why don't I feel heavy and pressure?! Especially at the moment when my father died, I felt like the sky was going to fall! But, you see, I'm not good right now?! Nine times out of ten, life is unsatisfactory. Always be open-minded. In order to live up to the expectations of our ancestors! ”
Fang Cheng was silent for a long time, and let out a long breath. He smiled at Shen Yun and said, "I understand, Yuan Rang." Thank you! ”
"Hehe, my own brother, why bother to say thank you. Let's go, let's see if the year-end meeting is over, and if not, it's good to get together with my classmates. Anyway, we're about to leave Beijing! Shen Yun patted Fang Cheng on the shoulder and turned to clean up.
Fang Cheng solemnly put the paper away, and said as he collected it: "By the way, Yuan Rang, can you tell me the name of the elder who wrote this poem?" Such a good poem, it is simply ancient and modern! ”
Shen Yun was stunned for a moment, twitched the corners of his mouth, and squeezed out a sentence: "He has passed the past and now, and he doesn't care." Don't ask, I'm not going to tell you. ”
※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※
By the time Shen Yun and Fang Cheng packed up and rushed to the Imperial Auditorium, the year-end party was already over. At the entrance of the auditorium, students who will graduate next year gather in twos and threes. Although the New Year Pass is not a symbol of the reunion of the Han Dynasty, it is the threshold of separation for the graduating students.
It can be said that the students who can study at the Imperial University all have their own backgrounds, those who have no background have strength, and those who do not have strength also have various relationships, large and small. From the point of view of modern people, this is a rich resource system! It is the capital to step into the society in the future!
Although the Han students at this time are not so utilitarian and do not have so many ideas about their classmates, they are all trying to maintain a good relationship with their classmates as much as possible when they are about to leave. When Shen Yun and Fang Cheng arrived, many people had already made an appointment about where to go for a casual dinner tonight, and some people were going to invite a certain lecturer or professor, so this thank-you banquet was also a must!
Shen Yun's interpersonal relationship is not good, especially after it involves the rights and wrongs of the previous time, it is a bit ghostly. It's Fang Cheng, who came all the way and received countless invitations. However, a little different from the simple intimacy before, many people already have honorifics when they speak to each other - the identity of the Hou Shizi of Huainan is already well known.
"This way, Shen Yuanrang, Fang Tengyu, this way!" Someone in the crowd jumped and shouted.
Shen Yun looked at it and couldn't help but smile. It turned out to be James and Tony Jr.
When I squeezed over, I found that Shen Yun's only acquaintance was there. Ma Gu, Zhuge Yun, Lu Zhen, and even Zhang Xian, who has always been gloomy and unsociable, are also listed.
"Ha, it's all there! James, are you planning to have a bonfire again?! Shen Yun quipped.
James came up and gave Shen Yun a hug, and said, "Yuan Rangjun, we are leaving, we will hold a banquet in the Liucai Pavilion in the evening, are you coming?" ”
"Let's go?" Shen Yun felt a little inexplicable, looked at the others, and saw that their expressions were quite serious, not like laughing, and said strangely: "Don't you still have a year to finish your studies?" Why are you leaving? ”
"The family sent an obituary, my grandfather old James has gone to see the great god, I must rush back!"
James's eyes were a little red, I don't know if it was because of the old James who went to see God, or because he was about to leave Dahan.
Shen Yun also felt a little uncomfortable in his heart, patted James on the shoulder and said, "Mourning!" ”
James shrugged indifferently: "I'm not sad because my grandfather died, I've only seen him a few times at the banquet in Augustus in my life, I'm reluctant to let you friends!" I've only been in Dahan for three years and I love this place! Love you guys! ”
"Stop, I can't stand you! In our Dahan. Like is a word that cannot be used for men. Got it?! Shen Yun made a goosebump-raising motion. James laughed.
"And what about you, little Tony, why are you leaving?" Shen Yun asked.
Tony Jr. is not as sociable as James, but after such a long time together, there is still a relationship. He was not as free and easy as James, and he said gloomily: "Father wants me to go back as soon as possible, but the reason is not explained!" ”
Tony the Younger's father was a senator of the Roman Senate. It was indeed a little strange to ask Tony Jr. to go back at this time, but everyone didn't think much of it.
As for Ma Gu, Zhuge Yun and Lu Zhen, they are in the same class as Shen Yun, and it is natural for them to leave.
Although Ma Gu is a bit annoying, Shen Yun still has a good impression of the smart Zhuge Yun and the upright Lu Zhen. In addition, when Yan Ruyue made a big fuss about the engagement ceremony last time, Ma Gu also participated in it, so Shen Yun was a little affectionate with them.
"What are the plans of Brother Xianyu, Brother Nanshan, and Brother Kewu?" Shen Yun clenched his fists and smiled. You can't talk to the three of them like Tony Jr. and James.
The three of them share the same dormitory. If you have a good relationship, you will soon wear a pair of pants. It was Zhuge Yun, who had always been known for his intelligence, who answered Shen Yun, and he also hugged his fists and smiled: "What other arrangements can there be, the three of us are not princes, and this noble title can only last for another half a year." I plan to return to Yizhou after the New Year and get a job at Yizhou Bank. As for Brother Xianyu and Brother Kewu, the two of them have a tradition, and after graduating from college, they must join the army for a few years to see if they can make achievements in martial arts. ”
"Oh? Brother Xianyu and Brother Kewu are going to join the army? "Fang Cheng, who has finally finished the party, rushed over. I just heard Zhuge Yun's words. said with a smile: "Then I wish the two classmates to abandon their pen and start from Rong Neng to show their prestige immediately and expand their territory." Worship the marquis! ”
This is not a false polite remark. Ma Xianyu and Lu Kewu are both behind the gate. Jin Gong Ma Chao and Wu Gong Lu Bu followed His Majesty the Holy Ancestor to fight in the east and west, and made great military exploits before they were crowned dukes. And although the ancestors of Shen Yun and Fang Cheng were also marquis because of their military merits, they did not have such a requirement for some reason. Everything is casual, if you want to join the office, if you want to follow the literature, or join the military, even in business.
In fact, most aristocratic families have no rigid requirements for the future of their descendants, and among the many nobles of the Han Dynasty, only a few ten families such as Jin Gong, Wu Gong, Ying Gong, and Hu Gong will set death rules and require their descendants to enlist in the army.
"Brother Xie Tengyu Jiyan!" Ma Gu arched his hand and smiled.
Lu Zhen grinned and said with a smile: "That's it, I'm going to Fenghou." Hey, speaking of which, after the two are also military generals, do you want to enlist in the army as well? I'll be drafted after the New Year, and I'll call you when the time comes, right? ”
Shen Yun and Fang Cheng looked at each other and smiled bitterly, politely rejecting his kindness. But he didn't say it, but Shen Yun was a little moved in his heart. is also to avoid the turmoil in the imperial capital, will it be a better choice to go to the army? But then he put this thought aside, not to mention that he is now the Marquis of Bohai, even if he is an ordinary family, if he only has an only son, there is no reason to recruit him into the army.
Fang Cheng saw that everyone was talking and laughing, but Zhang Xian had been silent on the side, so he asked, "Brother Zhang Xian, what about you?" What are the arrangements? ”
Everyone looked at Zhang Xian in unison. Speaking of which, this Zhang Xian is really an alternative. Ordinary people enter the Imperial University, they will ask a tutor or professor to help pick up a word, of course, the children of nobles such as Ma Gu and Zhuge Yun are picked up by the elders of the family at home. But this Zhang Xian has been in the imperial university for four years, and he has never written a word, and everyone is called by name, which seems to be a bit raw.
Zhang Xian is still a little indifferent, and his hard face always reminds people of bad words such as sorrow and boredom.
"I plan to go back to Dayuezhou next year, Jiaci is very old, and she has been sick in bed during this time, so I want to do a few years of filial piety in front of her old man's bed to repay the grace of childbirth."
Fang Cheng nodded: "Well, it should be." Brother Zhang Xian's filial piety is commendable, and Ling Tang's health will definitely improve. ”
"Xie Teng Yujun Jiyan!"
These words reminded Shen Yun of his parents, whether they were in the past life or in this life, and couldn't help but sigh softly: "The son wants to raise but the parent is not there...... Brother Zhang Xian makes me envious! ”
Everyone suddenly thought of Shen Yun's father, and the atmosphere was a little dull.
At this time, a student hurriedly walked over, bowed his hand to everyone, and then said: "Yuan Rangjun, Teng Yujun, and the Lord of the Wine Sacrifice are called." Please come with me. ”
Shen Yun and Fang Cheng were stunned, didn't they come to participate in the year-end and be hated by the wine lord?
James pushed Shen Yun and said, "Hurry up, by the way, don't forget the banquet in the Liucai Pavilion at night." ”
"Well, got it! Everyone, see you again in the evening! Shen Yun clasped his fists at everyone, and rushed to the Wheel Society with Fang Cheng.
However, there was a difference from what Shen Yun thought, and he didn't find out whether Shen Yun and the two of them participated in the year-end meeting just now. Seeing that they were very enthusiastic, he smiled and asked them to sit down.
As the saying goes, "the elderly stand, the young do not sit, the elderly sit, life is sitting." This is the essence of Confucian filial piety. Although this "disciple rule" was written by the Qing Dynasty, this spirit has existed since ancient times.
Shen Yun was a little apprehensive in his heart, and after sitting down, he said, "I don't know what the Lord of the Sacrificial Wine Ceremony has to say?!" ”
"I didn't have any instructions, but I heard from the old people that you and Fang Cheng were about to go on a long journey, so I specially summoned you, first, to give you farewell, and secondly, to hope that you can remember the teachings you learned in school during your long journey. Hehe. An embarrassed look appeared on his face, and he seemed to feel that his reason was a bit far-fetched.
And Shen Yun and Fang Cheng didn't feel embarrassed, but they just felt a little strange. How did this kind of Dao know that they were leaving the imperial capital? Could it be that the Secret Guard asked him to spread the word?
Shen Yun pondered it carefully before he spoke: "Yes, the student carefully follows the teachings of sacrificial wine. It's just that the end of the year is approaching, and there are many invitations from classmates, so that students want to go long away after getting together with their classmates. I don't know, can the priest have any teachings? ”
I don't know how many times I scolded the person who asked him to speak, this is very far-fetched! Besides, he hasn't been doing this sacrificial wine for a long time, and he can't talk about favors to these students at all, it's really hard to say!
In the end, he could only wave his hand: "There is no teaching, I just hope you go well!" Also, leave Beijing as soon as possible, don't delay! ”
Shen Yun and Fang Cheng looked at each other for a word, got up and said goodbye: "Huh." (To be continued.) )
PS: If you don't think it's troublesome, please give a recommendation, and then say a few words, leave a word or something. Otherwise I feel a little lonely......
