Chapter 53: Qian Qianyi (I)
In the Qian Mansion of Changshu County, Suzhou Prefecture, Chen Yonghua stepped forward and knocked on the door.
Soon an old servant opened the door and asked, "Sir, what are you doing?" ”
Chen Yonghua smiled and put up his name post, and the old servant of the Qian Mansion took it and looked at the name paste, his eyes suddenly widened, and he hurriedly said: "Sir, please wait a while, I'll come when I go!" ”
Chen Yonghua nodded and waited patiently outside the door.
As soon as the old servant of the Qian Mansion turned around, he quickly ran to the inner hall and told his master.
After a while, the old servant rushed back, opened the middle door, and said, "Sir, my master has an invitation, please come with me!" ”
"Please lead the way!"
Chen Yonghua walked all the way to the inner hall, and when he saw that it was midsummer, but the flowers and trees in the courtyard were a little withered and defeated, he couldn't help but sigh.
Qian Qianyi used to be the leader of the Jiangnan literary circle, and his family was full, there was no white ding in the house on weekdays, the seats were always full, and the wine in the cup was not empty.
After taking refuge in the Qing Dynasty, all this changed, the front door was deserted, and no more students came to ask for advice!
After Qian Qianyi surrendered, he originally thought that with his reputation, he would inevitably be reused.
Unexpectedly, the Manchu Qing Dynasty just wanted to borrow his reputation and gave him a job as a right attendant in the Ministry of Rites, and sent him to revise the "History of the Ming Dynasty".
When compiling the "History of the Ming Dynasty", it was also tampered with by the Manchu Qing Dynasty in many ways, although the Qing Dynasty was lowered, but in the end, some of the literati Qian Qian Yi was angry and begged to return to Nanjing.
As soon as Qian Qianyi resigned, he was arrested and sent to Nanjing Prison for the Huang Yuqi uprising.
It was Liu Ru who ran with all his strength to rescue and mediate, and Qian Qianyi was able to avoid disaster.
After being released from prison, he returned to Changshu, ostensibly staying at home, and secretly liaising with the anti-Qing and Ming restoration forces in the southwest and southeast seas.
Chen Yonghua came today to win Qian Qianyi's help.
Chen Yonghua walked through an archway, and the scenery in front of him suddenly opened up.
A few rockeries and a bamboo forest isolate a secluded world.
A pool of spring water, a few golden scales, painting a pastoral scene.
A small bridge crosses the water, and a secluded path leads to a quiet courtyard.
A three-story pavilion in the courtyard stands in front of you.
This pavilion is the famous Jiangyun Tower in the south of the Yangtze River!
Qianyun Lou is Qian Qianyi, in order to marry the famous prostitute Liu Ruyi, specially built a pavilion in Yushan, so that the golden house is hidden.
In order to build this pavilion, Qian Qianyi even reluctantly sold the Song carving "Book of Han" that he had treasured for many years, so that the Qianyun Building was built magnificently.
The Qianyun Tower displays the books and antiques he worked hard to collect, including tens of thousands of volumes of gold and stone characters, Song carved books, as well as Ding Yi of the Qin and Han dynasties, calligraphy and painting works since the Jin, Tang, Song and Yuan dynasties, and various precious porcelain, inkstones, etc.
Just like Zhao Mingcheng and Li Qingzhao in the Song Dynasty, Qian Qianyi and Liu Ru also hid in their own library, reading and writing every day, doing historical research, and joking with each other.
If Qian Qianyi hadn't chosen to surrender at the beginning, he would still have lived a very leisurely life, and he would still be admired by the world.
But it's a pity that the sentence "the water is too cold" has made Qian Qianyi's reputation for many years go to waste.
Qian Qianyi and Liu Ru were already sitting in the pavilion waiting at this time, and there was a copper stove on the table, which was filled with fine charcoal, and when it burned silently, it also emitted a faint smell of pine wood.
Chen Yonghua hurriedly stepped forward and leaned over and said, "The junior will see Mr. Yu Shan!" ”
Qian Qianyi got up and said, "Please take a seat!" ”
Chen Yonghua sat down and said: "Mr. Yushan, my lord often says that he misses the days when he studied under Mr. Yu's seat, and specially asked the junior students to bring some small gifts to talk about their hearts!" ”
After speaking, he handed over the brocade box he was carrying.
Hearing Chen Yonghua talk about Zheng Chenggong, Qian Qianyi recalled the past.
At that time, Zheng Zhilong became the general soldier of Fujian, rich and quasi-king, distant friends with nobles, close to the deterrence and caressing, and moxibustion hands can be hot.
Zheng Zhilong, who had just been promoted to the chief soldier of Fujian and the governor of the department, also wanted to gain assistance among the civilian officials in order to stabilize his position.
At the same time, it was also in order to let Zheng Sen receive a good education, so he sent someone to send a heavy gift, imploring Qian Qianyi to accept his eldest son Zheng Sen as a disciple.
Zheng Sen that year was completely a noble son, and when he was studying in Guozijian, he called friends all day long to have fun.
Relying on the money, he also asked the servants to use the fast boat to transport the delicacies of the southern fruits.
After sending it, he only ate a few bites at random every day.
In order to expand his influence, and also to win over Zheng Zhilong, who had a heavy army, Qian Qianyi reluctantly accepted Zheng Sen as a disciple.
At the beginning, Qian Qianyi also advised Zheng Sen and helped him take the table word Damu, which means that Damu is a pillar.
But Zheng Sen is still the same as always, and has not corrected it.
Qian Qianyi saw that Zheng Sen was not a piece of reading material, so he let him go and did not control it anymore.
Unexpectedly, he defected to the Manchu Qing Dynasty without backbone, but Zheng Sen returned to his hometown to raise troops to fight the Qing Dynasty to the death, and became the surname of a vassal state that everyone admired.
Qian Qianyi couldn't help but sigh at the impermanence of the world!
Because he didn't have the face to see Zheng Chenggong again, whether it was Qian Qianyi who was the most downtrodden, or when he secretly contacted the anti-Qing and Ming restoration forces.
Qian Qianyi never sent anyone to find Zheng Chenggong.
Unexpectedly, today, his subordinates came to the door by themselves.
Qian Qianyi shook his head and said, "The old man didn't teach Yan Ming anything at the beginning, so he was ashamed to be rude!" ”
Chen Yonghua hurriedly said seriously: "My lord often says that if it weren't for Mr. Yu Shan's education of loyalty, righteousness and etiquette, there would be no Zheng Chenggong today!" ”
Qian Qianyi choked when he heard it, and almost spit out the tea in his mouth, his face flushed.
Liu Ru said with a smile at this time: "This dragon well is good, although it is not as good as the dragon well before the Ming Dynasty, but it is also rare." Fufu can be tasted! ”
Chen Yonghua got up and arched his hand and said, "Thank you, Mrs. Qian!" ”
Liu Ru is wearing a Ming-style student uniform today, a wide long coat with a straight green cloth, a jade-colored cloth silk band, a wide sleeve soap edge, a soap strip soft scarf hanging belt, and a square flat scarf on his head.
It's heroic!
Seeing Liu Ruyi's elegance, Chen Yonghua couldn't help but sigh in his heart, it was really a woman who didn't let her eyebrows go.
When the Qing soldiers came to the city, Liu Ru persuaded Qian Qianyi to throw himself into the water with him to martyrdom, Qian Qianyi was speechless in thought, and finally reached out to try the water, saying: "The water is too cold to go down."
Liu Ru heard that he was about to sink into the pond, but he was pulled hard by Qian Qianyi.
If it's a man, I'm afraid it's also a good man!
It's a pity!
Chen Yonghua picked up the teacup as thin as a cicada's wings, gently lifted the lid, and greedily sniffed the fragrant taste.
After taking a sip of the fragrant chin lightly, Chen Yonghua Chen praised: "The aroma is rich, sweet and refreshing, fragrant Ruolan, it is really a good tea!" ”
Liu Ru said with a smile: "If you like the local language, I will bring back some to taste, and I will also give some to Damu." I haven't seen him in a few years, how is his eldest son Zheng Jing now, and is he still as naughty as before? ”
Chen Yonghua hurriedly said respectfully: "My lord has great expectations for Zheng Jing, and in addition to exercising every day, he also invited a well-educated person to explain the history of Zheng Jing!" ”
Qian Qianyi also said when he heard it: "This is very good, I hope he can be like his father!" ”
Seeing Qian Qianyi speak, Chen Yonghua hurriedly said: "Mr. Yu Shan, my lord knows that Mr. Yu Shan is in the Qing camp and his heart is in the Ming Dynasty, and it is because he can spy on the confidential information of the Manchu Qing Dynasty, so he endures humiliation and steals his life and devotes himself to the Manchu Qing Dynasty government. In the current situation, Mr. Yu Shan also knows that it is a good time to recover the Ming Dynasty! Please also ask Mr. Yu Shan to help my lord! ”
Qian Qianyi heard Chen Yonghua say that he was trying to listen to the secrets of the Manchu Qing Dynasty, so he endured humiliation and secretly lived and committed himself to the Manchu Qing Dynasty, his tense face was a little better, but he was a little hesitant in his heart.
