That night, Zhang Yuan went to meet his uncle Zhang Rulin, and said that he had seen and heard in Jianhu Lake, Xizhang had a large field around Jianhu, and the cultivation of fields around the lake obviously endangered the interests of Xizhang, Zhang Rulin wrote a letter to Zhang Yuanzhi to see the Hou County Order, Zhang Yuan said to the Hou County Order Chen that the harm of the lake and the cultivation of fields, Shanyin was originally a water town, and there would be floods after the drought, if the lake area was encroached again, the water storage would be weak, and the flood would be more raging. It will be hit hard by the floods, and then the people will be miserable and miserable - next year is the year of the ugly year, and it is the year of supervising the imperial history and inspecting the local officials according to the judges, which is related to the promotion or demotion of the local officials, and the Hou County Commander is naturally extremely worried about the occurrence of a big disaster in Shanyin, which will inevitably affect his political achievements, if the disaster relief is not effective, it is possible to dismiss the official and even ask for the guilt, so the Hou County Commander is also very concerned about this matter, and said to Zhang Yuan: "Since you have consulted Su Weng's opinion, it will be much easier to do, and I will send someone to visit and investigate. Look at which powerful people are encroaching on the lake field, and they must be ordered to return the land to the lake. ”

——Generally speaking, the squire of Shanyin can be divided into two levels, the influence of the upper class gentleman reaches the provincial capital Hangzhou and even Beijing, Zhang Rulin is one of the representatives, Zhang Rulin's father-in-law Zhu Geng was the first assistant of the cabinet, Zhang Rulin's father Zhang Yuanbian is the champion, Zhang Rulin himself is a Jinshi, ten years ago the power of the Shanyin Zhang family reached its peak, after Zhu Geng's death Zhang Rulin's social status also declined, but in Shanyin, Zhang Rulin is still the head of the gentry; The social relations and private influence of the lower-class squires are only limited to the county, and the people who raise people and are wealthy can be regarded as lower-class squires, and the Hou County Order is concerned about a few upper-class squires, and the general county decree must first seek the opinions of the big squires, otherwise it will be difficult and difficult to implement, Zhang Rulin has clearly expressed his opposition to the encirclement of the lake and the creation of fields, and the Hou County Order can strictly investigate this matter, and first find out which gentry are strong and strong in occupying the land - it is the end of the day when the county government is out, but the half of the bright moon is already in the middle of the sky, and the blue-black sky does not see half a wisp of clouds, The moonlight was very good, but it was Mu Zhenzhen who was waiting outside the county office, Zhang Yuan asked: "What about Xiao Wu?" ”

Mu Zhenzhen said: "Xiao Wu said that he was sick, let me pick up the young master." ”

Zhang Yuan said: "It is very likely that he is suffering from heat stroke, he said that he went to Jianhu Lake with me today to dry his head, and the lake water is also hot, sitting on the boat like a steamer, I am also a little uncomfortable, and I feel annoyed - how are you?" "When he went to Jianhu Farm, Mu Zhenzhen and Wuling accompanied him.

Mu Zhenzhen said: "It doesn't matter if the maid, the maid used to carry the fruit on her back and hurried under the head—young master, are you okay, do you want to go to Doctor Lu for treatment?" ”

Zhang Yuan said: "I drank a few cups of hot tea at Uncle Clan and Hou Xianzun, and now it's better." He looked sideways at Mu Zhenzhen and said, "Zhenzhen, what are you doing with your back?" ”

Mu Zhenzhen is fifteen years old, her body is already about the same as that of an adult man, and her breasts are not small, she secretly compared it herself, Sister Yiting is eighteen years old, not as big as hers, she is really embarrassed, so she has been a little bent down recently-Zhang Yuan is so understanding, seeing Mu Zhenzhen's really embarrassed appearance, he understood what was going on, glanced twice, smiled secretly in his heart, and said seriously: "Zhenzhen, you are a person who practices martial arts, you must stand like a pine, you must be strong and straight, you can't do this, don't allow this, stand up straight!" ”

Mu Zhenzhen saw that the young master's tone was stern, and hurriedly straightened up, and his chest was also straightened, forming a smooth curve with the slender and flexible waist and strong buttocks, which made Zhang Yuan's eyes light up, and praised: "That's right, that's it, well, let's go." ”

Mu Zhenzhen felt that she was a little arrogant and a little proud, not like a servant girl should be, but the young master said this, how dare she disobey.

Back to the East Zhang Mansion, Zhang Yuan went to visit Wuling, sure enough, it was heat stroke, the last time I went to Qingpu Lu, the pill given by the doctor had a cure for heat stroke, so he took a pill for Wuling to take, and after one night, Wuling people were much fresher.

Because Wuling's heat stroke has not yet healed, Zhang Yuan stayed at home for two more days, and went to Huiji Baima Mountain to study early in the morning of June 13, reading is his first priority, to be an official, he must first study, as for drought relief he has done his best, the rest will depend on the government's disaster relief capacity.

These days, Zhang Yuan has made ten articles on four books and eight shares, and ten articles on eight stocks in the Spring and Autumn Period, and he should ask Mr. Wang Siren for advice, so he went to Mr. Wang's house on the halfway road to Baima Mountain, and the maid went to the inner courtyard to report, Zhang Yuan went to the front yard study to wait, he took advantage of the cool and good road, came early, Mr. Wang may not have gotten up yet, the midsummer morning is cooler, just lying high - came to the front yard study door, but saw a small guy is sprinkling dust in the study, Zhang Yuan paced in front of the hall for a while, Suddenly remembered that there were several precious pearl orchids in the small courtyard of the West Chamber, where he lived when he was studying here last year, the pearl orchid was afraid of the heat, the small courtyard was uninhabited, and the pearl orchid was unattended and did not know if it had died, so he walked through the front hall and walked to the west side of the inner courtyard, and came to the front of the small courtyard of the West Chamber, and saw that the wooden door was empty, and with a gentle push, the two wooden doors were "squeaked" open - Zhang Yuan walked into the small courtyard, and turned his head to see the eight-foot-high Taihu Lake stone under the courtyard wall on the left, Wang Yingzi was carrying a watering pot to water Yanlaihong and Pearl Orchid, Zhang Yuan was slightly startled, Xin said: "Why is Senior Sister Yingzi here?" Turning his head to look at the door of the Moon Cave on the left that had been closed when he lived here last year, the hole opened at this time - Zhang Yuan was a little embarrassed and wanted to withdraw quietly, Wang Yingzi, who was watering the flowers, had already heard footsteps, turned around, and Zhang Yuan hurriedly said: "Senior sister is early." After a while, I looked up, and immediately felt that it was wrong, this woman's appearance and body shape are four or five points similar to Wang Yingzi, and I didn't notice it for a while when I looked at the back, and I mistook it for Wang Yingzi, and when I turned around at this time, I knew that I was wrong, this woman was about twenty years old, her chin was pointed, because of her emaciation, her eyes were bigger than Wang Yingzi, and this must be Wang Yingzi's sister Wang Jingshu - this woman is Wang Jingshu, on the eighth day of this month, she returned to Huiji from Xiaoshan with her father Wang Siren, because she is now living in her mother's house, her parents are alive, how to wear a filial piety bun and tie a filial piety skirt, So he was just wearing a plain dress, without any flower ornaments, and he was watering the pearl orchid when he got up early, but when he saw a young man break in, he couldn't help but lose his face and said in a panic: "Who are you!" ”

Zhang Yuan hurriedly explained: "I am a disciple of Teacher Wang, who borrowed this place last year, and I didn't know that Miss was here, so I took the liberty of it. Just as he was about to withdraw, he saw Wang Yingzi walking over from the moon cave door and helping to explain: "Sister, don't panic, this is my father's proud disciple, and I told you about it, Shanyin Zhang Gongzi, the head of the county test and the government test." ”

Zhang Yuan saw that the inner courtyard was connected, so he didn't dare to stay longer, so he said, "I'll go to the front hall and wait for the teacher." "Hurried away.

Wang Jingshu panicked for a moment, stroked her chest and said: "It's really bluffing my soul, how can this Zhang Gongzi be so reckless, he actually broke into the inner courtyard, it's really rude!" ”

Wang Yingzi explained with a smile: "My sister doesn't know, he studied here last year and lived here, so he must have been waiting in the front hall for a long time, so he turned here to revisit the old place." ”

Wang Jingshu said "um", and suddenly asked: "This Zhang Gongzi just called me junior sister early, what does this mean, he should have misidentified someone, right?" When he asked this, he stared at his sister Wang Yingzi with a smile on his lips.

Wang Yingzi said calmly: "It should be mistaken for me, I call him Senior Brother Zhang or Senior Brother Jiezi, and he calls me Senior Sister or Senior Sister Yingzi." ”

"Oh." Wang Jingshu asked with interest: "This Zhang Gongzi is not married yet, right?" ”

Wang Yingzi said: "He is engaged to the Shang girl, it is Miss Shang Ran, my sister has seen the Shang girl before, right?" ”

Wang Jingshu was quite disappointed, frowned, and said: "It turns out that I have been engaged, I thought that I had seen Shang Xianran, she was still young at that time, twelve or thirteen years old, and she met her when she was in the spring, and she was very beautiful." ”

Wang Yingzi said: "Very beautiful? That's really a talented woman. ”

…… Zhang Yuan returned to the front yard, the little servant had already swept the study, Zhang Yuan went into the study, put his twenty pieces of craftsmanship on the bookcase, and saw that there was a volume of Zhao Shu's "Spring and Autumn Dictionaries" by Zhao Shu of the Song Dynasty on the desk, and the book was prefaced: "The subtle words are absolute, and the doctrine is extensive, so they discuss themselves and ridicule them, and they ridicule them for praise and disapproval, and they praise and depreciate them for rewards and punishments——"

Zhang Yuanxin said: "Emphasizing praise and disparagement is almost mean and unkind. I also checked the other books on the desk and found that there were many classics about "Spring and Autumn", including Liu Yongzhi's "Spring and Autumn Purpose" and Wang Wei's "Spring and Autumn Words" - "Zhang Yuan, I've kept you waiting." ”

Wang Siren walked in, his complexion was much better than last time, and after Zhang Yuan greeted him, he asked Zhang Yuan to sit down, and asked Zhang Yuan how he was doing and what books he was reading? Zhang Yuan answered one by one, and submitted the craftsmanship to the teacher for advice.

After Wang Siren read the twenty pieces of art, he said: "Although I don't know the Spring and Autumn Period, but the three legends of the Spring and Autumn Period have also been familiar with it, your ten Spring and Autumn Art Tracing the Ancients' Divine Principles for thousands of years, copying its spirit, as if its tone, the emperor's righteousness, according to my opinion, your Spring and Autumn Question is quite talented Wang Wei." As he spoke, he took out the three volumes of "Spring and Autumn Words" and asked, "You must have read this book, right?" ”

Zhang Yuan said: "Yes, I have read it recently, and some of his craftsmanship." ”

Wang Siren said: "Very good, you are the wisest to learn from Wang Wei, I have taught some of the comprehension of Baguwen, you have also mastered it, there is nothing to teach you, you just need to read more and write more essays, although the road to the imperial examination is difficult, it is difficult to stop you from stepping up." He added: "I have collected some Spring and Autumn classics for you, you can take them back and read them." Ordered the maid to go to the study in the inner courtyard to let Miss Yingzi find out those books, and said casually: "Yingzi has also studied "Spring and Autumn" recently, and she used to like "Mao's Poems". ”
