Chapter 72—The Scribe I
On the occasion of the wedding, it is the time when it lingers like paint.
Zheng Chenggong and Shen Ruoxi, under the escort of the guards, took a painting boat to Qinhuai at night.
Ten miles of Qinhuai and five continents, six dynasties are engraved with thousands of years of romance.
In my previous life, I had heard of the customs of Qinhuai for ten miles, so why should I experience it in this life.
Shen Ruoxi, as the daughter of the Shen family, has been guided by famous teachers since she was a child, and she is good at piano, chess, calligraphy and painting. Poetry and songs, everything.
In the painting boat, Shen Ruoxi sat down and played the guzheng song "Mountains and Flowing Water".
Shen Ruoxi lowered her head and stroked the qin, her fingers were fragrant through the bones, and a strand of long hair poured down, indescribably beautiful and elegant, noble and vulgar.
The most is the gentleness of the bowed head, like a water lotus flower that is not shy.
The most is the one who bows his head and smiles, and a thousand styles surround his eyebrows!
Looking at Shen Ruoxi of Fuqin, Zheng Chenggong couldn't help but sigh that such a stunning beauty, if it wasn't in ancient times, when would it be his turn?
Zheng Chenggong closed his eyes and listened, it was almost April, and it was the end of spring and the beginning of summer, and the breeze was blowing, which made people feel exceptionally refreshing.
After finishing a song, Zheng Chenggong hugged Shen Ruoxi into his arms and looked at the night outside the window.
Everything has completely woken up from the cold winter, and the sound of insects chirping in the night is even more crisp.
The river is passing away, and the boats moored in the bay at ease, and the marquee-like characters in the boats, are like the lower realm, far away, and like looking at flowers in the fog, all hazy.
The painting boat crossed the Lishe Bridge and looked at the East Pass.
Along the way I heard staccato singing: some from the brothel along the river, some from the boat on the river.
The dizzy lights in the river, the vertical and horizontal painting boats, the melodious flute rhyme, and the squeaky huqin sound, the irritability of dealing with government affairs for days has disappeared, and what remains is a peace in the bottom of my heart.
At this time, the painting boat had just turned around a lake blade, and the eyes were bright, but in front of it was a large boat with bright lights.
Zheng Chenggong didn't care about it, but suddenly a roar attracted his attention.
"Money, your good apprentice has done a good thing! Dare to sit on the dragon chair openly, what is his intention? ”
"Brother Taichong, Ming Yan is just a temporary indulgence, why should you bother!"
"Accept the money, indulge for a while, and lose what you say. I'm afraid you want to be the emperor! ”
"Huang Taichong, I kindly invited you to discuss important matters, and you have been grasping the details and slandering me, what is your intention?"
"The minutiae? A gentleman cultivates himself and takes etiquette first. How different is it from Wang Mang and Cao Cao! ”
Zheng Mingyan was not afraid of danger, and personally led the army to the Northern Expedition to recover the old capital of the Ming Dynasty. Celebrities at home and abroad praised Zheng Ming's strict loyalty and righteousness, and he was the Ming Guo Ziyi. There are Zheng Mingyan, Li Tingzhen and others who have sacrificed their lives to forget, and only then can there be the current situation of Zhongxing in the Ming Dynasty. Just need to borrow for use, and you have been spreading rumors about his Wang Mang and Cao Cao's generation, do you think that the Tartar soldiers are not strong, and you want to make enemies again? ”
"Money is accepted, you are strong!"
"Huang Taichong, you are short-sighted!"
……
Zheng Chenggong listened to the quarrel about his overstepping and smiled slightly.
The matter of sitting on the dragon chair really caused controversy as he thought, and it also made him see clearly who was still loyal to Daming and who was interested in himself.
Zheng Chenggong patted Shen Ruoxi with his hand, signaling her to get up, he wanted to go out.
After Shen Ruoxi cleaned up Zheng Chenggong's slightly messy clothes, he got up and stood aside respectfully.
Zheng Chenggong walked out of the painting boat, stood at the bow of the boat, looked at the empty sky, and chanted poetry loudly: "The scenery of the northern country, thousands of miles of ice, thousands of miles of snow drifting.
Looking inside and outside the Great Wall, only reckless;
Up and down the river, suddenly lost and surging.
Mountain dance silver snake, the original Chi wax elephant, want to be higher than the heavenly public test.
It must be a sunny day, and look at the red makeup, which is extraordinarily enchanting.
There are so many rivers and mountains, and they are delicate, attracting countless heroes to bend their waists.
Regret the Qin Emperor and Han Wu, slightly lose the literary style;
Tang Zong and Song Zu are slightly less coquettish.
A generation of Tianjiao, Genghis Khan, only knows how to bend the bow and shoot the eagle.
All the past, count the romantic characters, and look at the present! ”
When Zheng Chenggong impassionedly recited Taizu's "Qinyuan Spring and Snow", the originally noisy sound of the big boat stopped.
After a long time, someone suddenly clapped his hands and shouted, "Good sentence, there are so many rivers and mountains, and they are delicate, attracting countless heroes to bend their waists." A good sentence, count the romantic characters, and look at the present day! This word is exciting, although Su Dongpo and Xin Qiji still failed to resist. Hearing this poem today, my generation is speechless! Dare to ask which hero made it, Suzhou Gu Yanwu asked to see! ”
After speaking, the big boat walked out of a middle-aged man in his forties, wearing a scholar's uniform, and saw Zheng Chenggong, who was pretending to be forced with his back hand on the bow of the painting boat, and arched his hand and said: "Sir, I admire Mr. for his great talent, can you come over and talk about it?" ”
Nonsense, if it weren't for the fear that you would suddenly come on board, it would make you misunderstand.
Does Lao Tzu need to chant poetry aloud to get your attention?
You think it's nice to be in the bow of the boat with a cold breeze!
Zheng Chenggong hurriedly replied: "It's better to meet by chance, so it's a disturbance!" ”
The two boats approached, and Gu Yanwu saw that the person in front of him was radiant and extraordinary, and the people standing around him seemed to be guards, all of them were mighty.
This man is no ordinary person!
Gu Yanwu asked, "Dare to ask Mr. Daming?" ”
Zheng Chenggong said softly: "Wu Nanping Zheng Mingyan!" ”
Gu Yanwu was speechless for a moment when he heard the surprise, although he knew that this person was an extraordinary person, but he never thought that it would be Zheng Chenggong, especially the people on the boat were still talking about him just now, but he didn't expect the main lord to come.
When Gu Yanwu didn't know whether to continue inviting him, Zheng Chenggong had already walked into the big ship by himself.
As soon as he walked in, Zheng Chenggong looked around at the people in the boat, there were men and women, about two dozen people, but except for Qian Qianyi and his wife Liu Ru, who knew him, none of the others knew him.
Qian Qianyi was stunned for a moment when he saw that the person who came in turned out to be Zheng Chenggong.
Since Zheng Chenggong fled back to Fujian to fight against the Qing Dynasty before the city of Nanjing was broken, he has never seen him again.
This time, when he heard that Zheng Chenggong had recovered Nanjing, Qian Qianyi returned to Nanjing from his hometown of Changshu.
Just returned to Nanjing yesterday, and did not go to see Zheng Chenggong for the first time, but invited a few friends in Qin Huai to persuade them to join Zheng Chenggong.
In addition to wanting to leave a good impression in front of Zheng Chenggong, there is another reason, that is, Qian Qianyi doesn't know how to face Zheng Chenggong yet.
In terms of official positions, Zheng Chenggong is already the king of the county. He's still white.
If you talk about the teacher, Qian Qianyi doesn't have that face. Because he once took refuge in the Tartars for fear of death, he did not dare to call himself a teacher.
When Qian Qianyi was still thinking about what identity to use to greet Zheng Chenggong, Zheng Chenggong had already bowed down and said, "Sir, I haven't seen you for many years, I've been fine lately!" ”
Seeing Zheng Chenggong's disciple salute, Qian Qianyi felt very useful, immediately straightened his body, supported his beard with his left hand, nodded and said with the appearance of a master: "Yes, Mingyan, you have done a good job in the past few years." With you as a disciple, I am very happy to be a teacher! ”
Hearing Qian Qianyi call the person in front of him Ming Yan, the other people on the boat immediately reacted, this person was Zheng Chenggong.
When everyone saw Zheng Chenggong suddenly coming, they not only guessed, but also whether it was intentional or unintentional! (To be continued.) )
