Chapter Seventy-Two: On the Yue Wang Bridge
Early in the morning of the fifth day of the Lunar New Year, Shi Shuang took his young son Xiaoshi to Wang Siren's house, and was ordered by Zhang's mother Lu to pick up Young Master Zhang Yuan home, and also sent two half-foot-long anchovies and ten catties of Dongyang South Jujube, Wang Siren asked the housekeeper to give back a piece of Pujiang ham.
Had breakfast in Wang's house, Zhang Yuan, Wuling master and servant duo and Shi Shuang father and son got up and went back to Shanyin, this is said that the weather is fine, the rising autumn sun is bright and shining, the main street of Huiji County has been sprinkled and swept by the people who are on duty, and the dust is not raised when walking, all the way through the Xinghua Temple, the Qiansu Wang Temple, and the front is the boundary river of Huiji and Shanyin counties - Fu River.
Reading and thinking in the study for three days in a row, Zhang Yuan also felt a little tired, at this time standing on the bridge of the Yue Wang of the Fu River, looking at the water of the Fu River flowing day and night, reflecting the sparkling morning sun, the river went back and forth, there were fishing songs and songs early, since he was broad-minded, thinking back to the harvest of the three days of study, he was in a good mood, and he was really very different from the Master's guidance and his own speculation, he would not take a detour, and he would get twice the result with half the effort.
I thought again: "Yesterday evening, the teacher went in to ask Wang Yingzi about the notes in the four books, presumably Miss Yingzi would argue that she was a man, I didn't notice it, but I don't know if the teacher believes it or not, did he scold Miss Yingzi?" When the teacher came to the front yard, his face was as usual, and he didn't know what he was thinking, but the teacher was a first-class smart person--fortunately, I was only fifteen years old, so I shouldn't have too many misunderstandings, and in the future, be careful not to have anything to do with that Miss Baby, Miss Baby's stuff is exposed, and she shouldn't come out again-"
For Wang Yingzi, Zhang Yuan didn't have too many ideas, not like seeing Shang Tanran made him feel excited, Wang Yingzi is like a little sister next door, if you can, come out and talk together, it's good, just in the late Ming Dynasty, how can you talk to other people's daughters in the room casually, Teacher Wang will definitely treat him as a son-in-law, although he said that he played too much with his beauty, Teacher Wang taught him a lesson with a straight face, but from the perspective of the past two days, Teacher Wang obviously doesn't care, it should be forgivable that young people are lustful......
When Zhang Yuan stopped to look at the flowing water and pondered, Wu Ling and Shi Shuang's father and son also stood and waited, the three of them were smiling, Wu Ling was asking Xiao Shi about the white mule snow spirit, and learned that the white mule had been staying at Zhang Yuan's side, Wu Ling was even more happy, and said: "Then why don't you bring the white mule here today and let the young master ride back." ”
Xiao Shi scratched his head and said: "I didn't expect this, and the snow spirit didn't let me lead it, and my brother couldn't do it, only Rabbit Pavilion and Sister Zhenzhen could." ”
Wu Ling said: "I can too, I have a yellow beard." ”
Xiao Shi said: "Brother Xiaowu, I still can't wear that flower-faced mask." ”
Wu Ling smiled: "You are too short, you can't look like it." ”
There was a long and narrow dragon head boat "dong dong" beating a drum from under the Yuewang Bridge, Zhang Yuan poked his head to look and asked Shi Shuang on the side: "Uncle Shi, the Dragon Boat Festival has passed early, why are you still rowing the dragon boat?" ”
Shi Shuangdao: "Ming said that it was the Sea Dragon King who was born, and he wanted to worship, isn't the Sea Dragon King Temple over there, we just walked by." ”
Zhang Yuan said: "That's the Qiansu King Temple." ”
Shi Shuangdao: "King Qiansu is the Sea Dragon King, everyone will call it that, and the Sea Dragon King Temple will be very lively." ”
Zhang Yuan nodded and said, "I see-let's go." ”
After crossing the Fu River, bypassing the Shimen Pavilion, passing between the Jade Void Temple and the Shuangyi Temple, in front of it is the Shaoxing Fuxue Palace, turning the Fuxue Palace, Xiao Xi Nu Wuling has sharp eyes and shouts: "Young Master, Mrs. is waiting in front of the door." ”
Zhang Yuan hurriedly quickened his pace, took the lead in rushing to the bamboo fence gate, and said with a smile: "Mother, my son is back." ”
Zhang's mother Lu smiled dazzlingly: "I guess you are coming back." But he looked his son left and right, and said, "My son seems to have lost some weight, is it that I don't like to eat my husband's food?" ”
Zhang Yuan said with a smile: "The food at the gentleman's house is very suitable for the son's appetite, and the son eats several large bowls of white rice at every meal. ”
Zhang's mother Lu smiled: "That's good, that's good." He added: "Your sister sent a letter from Qingpu, you come and see." ”
Zhang Yuan followed his mother into the inner courtyard, read the letter written by his sister Zhang Ruoxi, his sister that Jin people Xiaokai, there is no style, Zhang Ruoxi said in the letter that he learned that Zhang Yuan's eyes were healed, and he cried with joy, and went to the city outside the sound nunnery to make incense and make a vow, and knew that Zhang Yuan studied hard and studied hard, and was very pleased, since Zhang Yuan intended to come to Songjiang in March next year to celebrate her brother-in-law's birthday, then she would send a servant to pick it up, and said some trivial things about the two little nephews, and sent a lot of Jiaxing fish breast, Nanjing Taomen dates, Suzhou hawthorn cakes, pine nuts and other things sent with the letter.
Hawthorn cake and pine nut candy were Zhang Yuan's favorite food in the past, but now he didn't dare to eat more, he tasted a few pieces, left a small half, and the rest were given to Wuling, Rabbit Pavilion and the Stone Brothers, when Mu Zhenzhen came in the afternoon, Zhang Yuan gave Mu Zhenzhen the bag of hawthorn cake and pine nut candy, and asked her to take it home later.
Mu Zhenzhen is now selling both Shaoxing Xie Tangerine and Dongyang Nanjube, and said to Zhang Yuan: "Young Master, the little maid will also go to Huiji-" When she said this, the dark and blue eyes of this fallen girl looked at Zhang Yuan, obviously asking Zhang Yuan to guess what she was going to do in Huiji?
Zhang Yuan stood on the edge of the stone trough in the back garden, stroked the neck of the white mule snow spirit, looked sideways at Mu Zhenzhen, and said, "When I guess, well, are you going to the Huiji Sea Dragon King Temple to catch the temple fair?" ”
Mu Zhenzhen's eyes widened and said, "Ah, how can the young master guess it!" ”
Zhang Yuan smiled and said: "Ming said that you will go to Huiji with me, I will wait for you at home, you don't have to be in such a hurry, it doesn't matter if you are a little late." ”
Mu Zhenzhen is looking forward to this, the young master said in her heart again, and said happily: "The little maid said that she didn't need to go to the dock early, but today my father accompanied me, and I picked one hundred and fifty catties of southern dates and Xie Tangerines to go home, and it will not be bad if the southern dates are stored a few more." ”
Zhang Yuan said: "Okay, you can rush here at the end of tomorrow morning." ”
Wu Ling took the reins of the white mule and said, "Young master, let's ride a mule and play." ”
Zhang Yuan said that he didn't touch the book today, and completely relaxed his brain, he had learned too many things in the past three days, and he had to let his brain slow down, and the combination of work and rest was a must.
Tie the saddle bridge, Zhang Yuan stepped on the white mule, went out from the small gate of the back garden on his stomach, trotted along the east bank of the Toumi River, Wuling and Rabbit Pavilion followed the white mule, and the little girl Rabbit Pavilion screamed happily like a bamboo whistle.
Mu Zhenzhen also ran for a while at first, and felt a little embarrassed, she was much bigger than the Rabbit Pavilion, she was not a child anymore, so she stopped, stood under a tall willow and watched the young master ride a big white mule and run away and come back, and her heart was really happy.
"Gotta ......"
The horse's hooves hit the solid stone, two tall horses stepped across the stone arch bridge, and ran from Xizhang to Dongzhang, the passengers on horseback were Zhang Dai and Zhang Cao, two brothers, Zhang Cao raised his whip and pointed at Zhang Yuan who ran far away and smiled: "Big brother, you see, Jie Zi got a mule and rode so happily, really a little family." ”
Zhang Dai said: "Otherwise, the snow spirit is not as good as the ordinary mule, and the short-distance fast run is not inferior to our two horses, and has the endurance of a donkey, and can travel two or three hundred miles, but it can hold on to seven days, but the horse can't." ”
While speaking, Zhang Yuan ran to the two of them, strangled the white mule, and said with a rein: "The eldest brother is good, the third brother is good." ”
Zhang Dai asked Zhang Yuan about his study at Wang Siren, nodded and said: "Mr. Tan An is a young jinshi, and he must have a unique secret to Bagu, as long as he is willing to teach him, and Jie Zi is willing to study diligently, he will naturally benefit a lot." ”
Zhang Cao said: "Reading those boring things is boring and suffocating, there is no life for a hundred years, if you wait for your high school jinshi to suddenly whine and mourn, it will not be in vain." ”
Zhang Yuan said with a smile: "It's rare to be so wronged, you can't do nothing because you're afraid of death, and this kind of gentleman can only be done by the third brother." ”
Zhang Cao laughed and said: "In a few days, it will be Chongyang, our brother has asked some friends to climb Yudi Mountain, you must come." ”
Chongyang is the ninth day of September, today is the fifth day of the first month, just after studying hard for three days to rest for a day, Chongyang respects the elderly, and also wants to come back to celebrate the festival with his mother, Zhang Yuan said: "Okay, then the two brothers will call me." ”
