Shang Ran saw Zhang Yuan coming over, and said half-ashamedly and half-angrily: "You--you are too bold." ”

Zhang Yuan said: "I'm really angry, don't talk about the disappointment, I'll show you a treasure from the Taixi Kingdom thousands of miles away, which was bought by my third brother from Macau in the South China Sea, called a telescope, also called a telescope, which can see far as near." ”

As he spoke, he squatted down, put the long wooden box on the ground, took out the brass tube telescope in the wooden box, rotated it gently, and spun it out again, Shang Jinglan and Shang Jinghui sisters around him looked at this rare thing intently, and Shang Xianran also widened his eyes - Zhang Yuan compared the telescope with his eyes and asked, "Who will try it first?" ”

Xiao Jinghui immediately jumped to his feet and said, "Xiao Hui try first." ”

Zhang Yuan said: "Okay." Half-squatting, he put the telescope in front of Xiao Jinghui's eyes, and instructed her how to look and how to slowly rotate the brass pipe - Xiao Jinghui held his breath, looked at it carefully, and suddenly shouted: "I see Yuewang Bridge!" "Moved the telescope, looking at the Yuewang Bridge on the Chaofu River, it was still so far, and from the telescope, it was close again, and the little hand trembled slightly with joy, and slowly moved the lens to the White Horse Mountain, and then slowly looked south, and shouted: "I saw our house, and I saw the lampshed in front of the door——"

Shang Jinglan couldn't hold it anymore, and stepped forward and said, "Let me see, Xiaohui, let my sister take a look." ”

Xiao Jinghui said very obediently: "Okay, sister, let me see it later." ”

Shang Jinglan also saw the lantern shed in front of her house, and shouted with joy: "Auntie, aunt, come and see." ”

Shang Ran was aroused, and he was still reserved on the surface, and said, "Is it really so fun?" ”

Zhang Yuan straightened up, held the binoculars and said, "Come, I'll teach you to see." Standing behind Shang Tanran, pointing the telescope at her right eye, whispering in her ear how to see, she had never been so close to Shang Tanran, she could smell her fragrance, she could see the white and tender skin on the back of her neck, her hair was combed and rich, and her earlobes were crystal like jade - the telescope was right in front of her, but Shang Tanran didn't see anything, her heart was beating fast, Zhang Yuan was too close to her, and the heat she exhaled could be felt, her body was almost trembling, and her voice trembled: "Okay, okay, I've seen it." "Take a step away gently.

Zhang Yuan saw that Shang Ran's cheeks and neck were flushed with a delicate rose color, and his mature heart and sixteen-year-old body were slightly numb, and he had a strong urge to embrace her - Xiao Jinghui said: "I still want to see it." I carefully held the binoculars and looked into the distance, looked at it for a while, and then showed it to my sister, and the two little sisters never got tired of looking at it, and they were very happy.

Shang Zhoude came over and asked, "What are the rare things, let me see them too." ”

The two little sisters taught their uncle what to think, and Shang Zhoude was surprised when he saw it: "There is really such a magical thing." Hearing Zhang Yuan say that it came from Taixi, he sighed: "I have heard for a long time that the people of Taixi are ingenious, and they are really worthy of their reputation." ”

At this time, it was the end of the day, Zhang Yuan, Shang Zhoude and his party went down the mountain, it didn't take a moment to get to the bottom of the mountain, looking back at the mountain, the lights gradually thinned, the full moon hanging high in the sky began to show the clear light of washing, and the dragon mountain under the moon also revealed its solemnity and mystery, as if it could only be seen from a distance and could not be blasphemed.

Shang's two carriages were waiting not far from the foot of Longshan, and when they were about to get on the car, Zhang Yuan saw that Xiao Jinghui glanced at the wooden box with a telescope in Wuling's hand from time to time, and his dark and bright eyes could speak-Zhang Yuan knew Xiao Jingwei's intentions, so he said: "Xiao Hui, this telescope belongs to my third brother, I can't give it to you, I will ask someone to make such a telescope for you in the future." Xin said: "There are many skilled craftsmen in the Ming Dynasty, and this pair of telescopes can be imitated, so you don't have to worry about making the same telescope, can it come in handy during the battle of Salhu in the forty-seventh year of Wanli?" ”

Xiao Jinghui said happily: "Okay, Brother Zhang Gongzi is not allowed to forget." ”

Zhang Yuan said with a smile: "I won't forget, I will bring a telescope to you when I come to Beijing in the future." ”

Xiao Jinghui is also looking forward to going to the capital, children are always eager to travel far away, and now they are even happier when they hear that Zhang Yuan will go to the capital in the future.

Zhang Yuan, Wu Ling and Mu Zhenzhen sent Shang Ran and his entourage to Yuewang Bridge, Shang Zhoude did not allow them to send it again, Zhang Yuan stood at the head of the bridge, and watched the carriage and the servants of the Shang family who followed the car to the end of the bridge, and then turned around and was waiting to go back, but saw three sedan chairs coming, followed by a few servants on the side of the sedan chair, and the curtain of the sedan chair was lifted, and Wang Siren's voice said: "Zhang Yuan-"

Zhang Yuan hurriedly took a few steps and said, "Is the teacher going back now?" ”

The three sedan chairs stopped at the head of the Yue Wang Bridge, and Wang Siren did not get off the sedan chair, but lifted the sedan chair and said with a smile: "Zhang Yuan, did you beat Dong Zuchang?" ”

Zhang Yuanhan said with a smile: "I accidentally touched him, and he also touched me." ”

There was a laugh of "sneering" from the sedan chair in the middle, which was the laughter of Miss Wang Yingzi.

Wang Siren laughed and said, "It was his waist that touched your foot, haha, Zhang Yuan, you can be a lawyer who reverses black and white." ”

Zhang Yuan said: "The Dong Gongzi who must call his father Dong Xuanzai is too arrogant and deceives people too much, and the student feels that it is necessary to punish him lightly." ”

Wang Siren nodded and said: "I also said that I played well, but you are difficult to solve this Dong Gongzi's feud." ”

Zhang Yuan said: "That's helpless, you can't let him bully and seek perfection - teacher, what kind of person is Dong Xuanzai and Dong Hanlin?" ”

Wang Siren said with a smile: "I'm still a little worried, right, let me tell you a story, there is an official in Hangzhou who is good at doing good deeds, and is quite willing to help people in need. Master Lianchi said, "If the public is the most famous person in the seven articles of the first department", this official was stunned, and he thought that the parallel things in his life would not be so bad, why should he say that these officials who have taken the scientific examination are the most evil, Master Lianchi shouted, "Who said that you are guilty of your own evil, but whoever is powerful according to the situation, God will learn from it, and its sins will be added to the public." ’”

Zhang Yuan nodded and said, "The student understands, even if Dong Hanlin is an elegant and humble person, how can the slaves of his son and nephew bully others-"

Wang Siren said: "Although Dong Gong has a clear name, but his Huawu Garden Pavilion, Jiacheng South Mu, all of them are famous and famous, even Qianmo, why? They are all run by protégés and former officials, not by himself, and even with the rich slaves and servants, relying on the power to run rampant, disturbing the party can not live in peace, and there are even the scoundrel people, selling themselves to take refuge, the city fox society rat, it is difficult to get rid of - but you don't have to worry, Dong Gong will not deliberately embarrass you because of this matter, after all, your clan uncle is Zhang Suzhi, and the eunuch Zhong also cited you as a bosom friend, and praised you many times when he went down the mountain, and I heard that Hou Xianling said that you fought eight shares to win Yao Fu, and Eunuch Zhong praised you even more - as for that Dong Zuchang, is stupid, even if I hate you in my heart, I can't help you. ”

Zhang Yuan bowed down and said, "Thank you for your advice." ”

Wang Siren said: "Cause less trouble, study more, next month is the county exam, first earn a square scarf to wear, so that you can speak with confidence." ”

Zhang Yuan responded: "Yes." ”

Wang Siren put down the sedan chair curtains, got up the sedan chair first, and the sedan chair in the middle also followed, this sedan chair should be Wang Siren's wife, but the sedan chair behind did not move, and Wang Yingzi's voice said: "Brother Jiezi-"

Zhang Yuan arched his hand and said, "What do you want Miss Duanshu to order?" ”

"Don't call me Wang Duanshu, I don't like to hear it." Wang Yingzi in the sedan chair said: "Daddy gave me this name like Sun Houzi's tight spell, so that I can't move." ”

Zhang Yuan smiled "hey" and asked again: "What do you want Miss Yingzi to order?" ”

Wang Yingzi asked, "What did you look at when you took a yellow pipe on the mountain before?" ”

Zhang Yuan said: "Miss Yingzi was also on the top of the mountain at that time, but I didn't see you." ”

Wang Yingzi snorted lightly and did not speak.

Zhang Yuan was about to take the binoculars to show Wang Yingzi, when the maidservant in front of him shouted: "Second Miss, Mrs. told you to follow quickly." ”

Wang Yingzi patted the edge of the sedan chair, and the two sedan chair men lifted the sedan chair forward, Wang Yingzi said: "I'm waiting to see your county test eight strands." ”

…… Zhang Yuan returned home, it was already the end of the day, his mother was still waiting for him, to ask him about Miss Shang, Zhang Yuan thought about it or did not hide it from his mother, and said that the turmoil on the top of Longshan Mountain, of course, the words were as light as possible, so as not to make his mother angry - but Zhang's mother Lu Shi listened, she was still very angry, Zhang's mother Lu Shi saw Shang Ran today, and she liked it even more, so she heard that someone wanted to break her son's marriage contract, of course she was annoyed.

Zhang Yuan hurriedly comforted: "Mother don't worry, the guy surnamed Dong was kicked by his son, and he was driven out of Shanyin City by Hou Xianzun overnight." ”

Zhang's mother Lu was a little angry, and said: "Miss Shang is really beautiful, it's better to show up less in the future, otherwise there will always be disciples who covet it." ”

Zhang Yuan smiled: "Yes." He added: "Tonight, I also met that eyeless fool from other places, didn't he also slip away, mother don't worry." ”

Zhang's mother Lu nodded and said, "It's almost time to hand over three drums, so let's go and rest quickly." ”
