Chapter 17 Thinking is innocent
"The Peony Pavilion Resurrection of the Soul" has fifty-five plays, of course it is impossible to perform the whole play this morning, Zhang Dai ordered the "Dining Class" to perform "Title", "Yanhuai", "Training Girl", "Yanshi", "Dream" and "Judgment", a total of six, the first four plays are shorter, and it will soon pass, and when "Dream" comes out, Zhang Yuan and others who watched the play are in good spirits, and Du Liniang, played by Wang Kedian, has a singing voice, which makes people's hearts sway:
"Dreaming back to the warbler, the chaotic years are all over. People set up a small courtyard and a deep courtyard - Xiaolai looks at the plum pass, and the makeup is remnant - it is continuous, the reason is still chaotic, and it is boring for no reasonββ"
Zhang Cao snickered: "This girl is thinking of spring, hehe." β
Zhang Dai praised: "The food is fine, clever and reasonable, and it is much better than at the beginning of the year." β
After the garden dream, he continued to play "Judgment of the Underworld", this play was lively, the big flower face, the small flower face, the harlequin, the old dan, the old end, and the small sticker appeared, Zhang Dingyi, Wu Ling and others felt that this one was the most interesting, and they were watching it energetically, and suddenly saw a little guy running over and said to Zhang Dai: "Young Master Zongzi, it's not good, the eldest master has brought people to visit the garden." β
Zhang Dai was also taken aback: "Didn't the eldest father go to visit his friends, why did he come back?" "He invited his friends to visit the garden to watch the play this time on his own initiative, and without the consent of the elders in the family, if it is usual, it is just that, but now this time is obviously not appropriate, because next month is the township test, how important is the township test once every three years, not to study in the study, but to gather friends to drink, watch the play and listen to music, is it not a waste of study!
Zhang Cao was also afraid of his father's scolding, so he hurriedly said: "Big brother, let's hurry up." β
Zhang Dai glanced at Ni Ruyu, Uncle Yao Jian and others who were still listening to the play, shook his head and said: "Then what kind of face do I have, I was scolded by my father desperately - don't alarm the troupe, continue to act, I'll go see my father." β
Zhang Dai out of Xia Shuangxuan, went straight to the gate of Xiaomeishan Garden, but did not meet the father, only to know that the father and several friends have entered the park, the garden in the scenery of the road is connected, the father and his party should be from another way in.
Zhang Dai turned back to the garden, detoured from Zhen Liuju to Xia Shuangxuan, and saw that the eldest father had arrived at the Shouhua Hall on the side of Xia Shuangxuan, Zhang Cao and Zhang Zhuoru stretched out their heads and shrank their heads on Xia Shuangxuan's side, ready to be scolded in the past, and "Judgment" on the stage continued to be performed.
β¦β¦
Zhang Yuan stood up and stood up, looking at his uncle Zhang Rulin coming over, Zhang Rulin was nearly sixty years old, obese, round face like a rich man, the middle-aged man wearing a Taoist robe next to him was tall and thin, this person had a tall nose, phoenix eyes and silkworm eyebrows, and always had a smile on his face, this middle-aged man followed a young man step by step, wearing a rattan silk scarf, wearing a plain thin kudzu gown, silk shoes and socks, and a handsome appearance-
"Which one are you going to perform?" Zhang Rulin said.
Zhang Dai was a little embarrassed and replied: "If I returned to my father's words, I ordered six plays, and the performance was already over, and my grandson invited a few friends who were about to go to the hometown to take the test because they were quite hard, so they invited a few friends who were about to go to the hometown to take the test to relax in the garden. β
Zhang Rulin said: "Are these all students who are about to go to the township for the test, oh, Yiyuan and Huzi are also there." β
Qi Yiyuan, Qi Huzi, Ni Ruyu, and Uncle Yao Jian stepped forward to give a salute to Zhang Rulin, Ni Ruyu and Uncle Yao Jian are quite famous in the lives of Shaoxing Mansion, Zhang Rulin has also heard the names of these two people, so he smiled back and returned half a salute, when Zhang Yuan and Zhang Dingyi stepped forward, Zhang Rulin didn't recognize the two grandsons of Dongzhang, only waved his hand, and said to the tall and thin middle-aged man next to him: "Yan'an, the grandchildren don't know the severity, the township test is imminent, and they still drink and listen to music, which is really ridiculous." β
The middle-aged man named Yan'an said with a smile: "It's useless to read dead books, learning is about to come from wine and drama, Li Baidou has a hundred poems about wine, and Tang Ruoshi's "Peony Pavilion" is even more beautiful. β
Zhang Rulin shook his head and smiled, and said to Zhang Dai and the others: "Today, let you meet a famous man-" Pointing to the middle-aged man, he said: "This is my youngest Jinshi Mr. Wang Jizhong in Shanyin. β
Wang Siren waved his hand and said with a smile: "Lingsun Zhang Zongzi is sixteen years old this year, if the township test and the will test Lianjie, then he is only seventeen years old, how can I compare, not to mention that I am twenty years old, and I am Chinese New Year's Eve nine years old today, and I am not an old man in the countryside." Wang Siren was impeached and dismissed by Yanguan at the beginning of his tenure in Zhizhou, and only returned to his hometown of Shaoxing last month.
Zhang Rulin said with a smile: "The art of Zongzi is still not hot, and it is not easy to win the township test this year. β
Zhang Yuan heard that this middle-aged man was Wang Siren, quite surprised, before Qi Biaojia was seventeen years old in the Jinshi, the twenty-year-old Wang Siren was a model of fame at a young age, and they all said "Fifty young Jinshi, thirty old Ming Jing", although this refers to the imperial examination of the Tang and Song dynasties, it is also applicable to the Ming Dynasty, it is difficult to take the Jinshi examination, and if you can be admitted at the age of fifty, you will be young, and some old filial piety will be so old that you can't move or simply die within two years of being admitted to the Jinshi-
Zhang Dai and others saluted Wang Siren, and Wang Siren said: "They are all young talents, can you understand the "Peony Pavilion Soul Restoration" just now?" β
Zhang Dai, Zhang Cao and others didn't dare to speak out, for fear that their eldest father Zhang Rulin would blame, after all, "The Peony Pavilion" was regarded by many people as a silver song and a beautiful song, Zhang Rulin could listen to it, but their juniors couldn't listen to it.
Zhang Yuan stepped forward and said, "The kid thought that the song "Peony Pavilion" only wrote three wordsββ"
"Three words." Wang Siren became interested, looked at Zhang Yuan and said, "Then what are the three words?" β
Zhang Yuan said: "Thinking is innocent. These three words are Confucius's evaluation of the Book of Songs, which means that there is a true surname.
Xia Shuangxuan was silent.
Wang Siren stroked his palms and smiled: "That's right, it's these three words, haha, Su Weng, is this also your grandchild, it's not easy to say these three words in one sentence, Shanyin Zhang's family is really talented." β
"What does the yellow-mouthed child know, it's just nonsense." Zhang Rulin also smiled and asked Zhang Yuan: "Are you the son of Zhang Ruiyang?" β
Zhang Yuan responded: "Yes." β
Zhang Rulin nodded and said: "I heard that you have an eye disease some time ago, it seems that you are very good, have you entered the social studies and studied?" β
Zhang Yuan said: "Not yet." β
Zhang Cao, who was standing behind Zhang Yuan, interjected and said: "Father, Jie Zi has the ability to recite by ear, which is a skill he practiced when he suffered from eye disease, and he can also play blindfolded chess, chess, and Go." β
I don't know why, Zhang Cao likes to praise Zhang Yuan now, does he want to kill him? Or is it because he praised Zhang Yuan to a high point, so he himself doesn't seem so unbearable to lose to Zhang Yuan in a row?
Zhang Rulin didn't believe Zhang Cao's words, this grandson was stubborn and abnormal, which gave him a headache, Zhang Rulin glared at Zhang Cao and said, "You-where did you get my pillow book?" β
Zhang Cao screamed "bitter" in his heart, he forgot to put back the three volumes of "Golden Vase Plum", and he couldn't remember where he stuffed it, so he said: "My grandson didn't take it, and my grandson doesn't like to read." β
Zhang Rulin said: "If you don't take it, who else dares to take it, I'll clean you up when I go back." β
Zhang Cao shouted: "Wronged, father, isn't it "Golden Vase Plum", that kind of book is all over the street, why should the grandson take away the pillow of the eldest father." β
Wang Siren asked: "Su Weng, what is the book of "Golden Vase Plum"? β
Zhang Rulin said in a low voice: "It is a strange book copied by Yuan Shigong, Yuan Shigong praised it as 'full of paper smoke, better than the "Seven Hairs" of Meisheng', this book has not been published in the world, my generation can read it, children can not read it, the book describes the world, but also involves the affairs of the bed. β
Wang Siren smiled, suddenly turned his head to look at the handsome young man behind him who followed him very closely, coughed, and the young man lowered his head.
Zhang Rulin glared at Zhang Cao and said: "I dare to say that I didn't take it, this time I will not forgive the staff." β
Zhang Cao was a little scared when he heard that he was going to be scolded by the cane, and at this time he only bit and didn't take the book, and shouted: "Father, my grandson really didn't take it, my grandson only saw the name of this book in my father's place, and I talked about it by chance, and Jie Zi said that this "Golden Bottle Plum" is all over the street, and he has already read it and can recite it. β
Zhang Rulin laughed angrily, pointed at Zhang Cao and said, "Okay, very good, Zhang Baosheng is a good son, lying to his face." β
Zhang Cao said: "Grandson is not lying, Jie Zi can be proof, Jie Zi, you recite a passage of "Golden Bottle Plum" to my eldest father." As he spoke, he quietly made a gesture of begging Zhang Yuan to save him.
