Cool on the mountain, a good night's sleep.

When Zhang Yuan woke up, it was already dark, lying on the pillow and listening to the chirping of birds, hey, who was Wuling talking to?

"The young master slept late last night when he was reading and writing, and the young master used to get up very early, and after getting up, he had to practice the five poultry operas to keep fit."

"Hmm-"

This "um" is low and tactful, like the lingering sound of a pipe.

Zhang Yuan turned over and got out of bed, walked out of the hut with dove-headed shoes, the morning sun has not yet risen, the morning breeze is cool, it is the best time in summer, seeing that Shang Ran combed three small buns, wore eyebrow coverings, wore willow green Hangzhou silk cardigan, below is a light blue silk skirt, pink flower shoes, a few steps away, followed by a young maid - Shang Ran stood under the stone steps, slightly tilted his head, his eyebrows were like green feathers, his eyes were like morning stars, his red lips were lightly pursed, with a shallow smile, seeing Zhang Yuan suddenly come out, open his clothes, shoes, and a shawl. I couldn't help but be taken aback, his face turned slightly red, his eyes were lowered, and he was blessed, and asked, "Can Zhang Gongzi live here?" ”

Zhang Yuan smiled and looked at his fiancée, and he would feel that he liked her more face-to-face, of course, because of the attraction of beauty, love is very complicated, and it is made up of many factors, and the attraction of the appearance and body of both men and women is one of the important factors - "Sleep very soundly, and you don't know when you sleep in spring." Zhang Yuan smiled and said, "I didn't expect Miss Shang to come to visit me so early." ”

Shang said solemnly: "I have been here early these days to paint." ”

The little maid behind Miss Shang said crisply, "Yes, my young lady comes here every day." ”

Zhang Yuanxin said: "It's quite scheming, I came every day a few days ago, and I still come now, and the people in the house don't feel abrupt." Of course, I didn't break it, so as not to make Shang Tan shy, and said: "I see, I don't know how to paint, but I also think that painting is good. ”

Shang Ran said: "It is the plum blossom people, my eldest brother has a collection of more than ten landscape paintings such as the plum blossom Taoist "Spring River Fisherman" and "Basho Beauty", I first learned to paint when I saw the plum blossom Taoist painting I felt happy, I copied and learned, and now the brushwork is still very immature. ”

Zhang Yuan said: "I'm ashamed, may I ask which calligrapher and painter is the name of the Plum Blossom Daoist?" ”

Shang Ran smiled and said: "It is Yang Weizhen, the number of Iron Cliff, the head of the three masters at the end of the Yuan Dynasty, he has many names, including Iron Flute Daoist, Tiexin Daoist, and Tieguan Daoist. ”

Zhang Yuan said: "It turns out that the person of Meihua Dao is Yang Weizhen, and the book I brought up the mountain this time is Yang Weizhen's "Spring and Autumn Joint Title Writings" - Miss Shang, please sit down for a while, and I will go to wash." ”

Zhang Yuan took the toiletries, ran to the side of the hidden spring, brushed his teeth with willow branch tooth powder, washed his face and clothes, wore a bun and a crown, and came back refreshed, but saw that the hut was empty, Shang Ran and the little maid were gone, so he was not lost, and asked Wu Ling: "Xiao Wu, is Miss Shang going down the mountain?" ”

Before Wu Ling could answer, he heard a chuckle from the bamboo pavilion behind the hut, Zhang Yuan looked up, the bamboo pavilion was high, and Shang Ran and the little maid were sitting on the bamboo pavilion, as if they were on the roof of the hut.

Zhang Yuan walked to the pavilion and said, "Miss Shang, watch me practice Taijiquan." ”

Shang Ran smiled and said, "Okay." Standing on the edge of the pavilion and watching Zhang Yuanyun Shuyun practice boxing in general, the little maid beside him asked softly: "Miss, Zhang Gongzi's punch is so slow, how can he beat people?" ”

Shang Ran said softly: "This punch is not a beating, it is just fitness, which is similar to Wufowl Opera and Baduanjin." ”

The little maid said: "I also beat people, the night of the Lantern Festival was in Longshan, didn't Zhang Gongzi just kick that person, the maid saw it." ”

Shang Ran smiled "sneering", looking at the corners of Zhang Yuan's robe tucked at his waist under the pavilion, looking at his palms, clapping his feet left and right, and looking at his fists at the bottom of his elbows, his movements were smooth, and he was very happy.

Zhang Yuan practiced again, his limbs stretched out, and said to Shang Shang: "Miss Shang, how about I teach you to practice boxing and fitness?" ”

Shang Yanran shook his head with a smile and said, "This is not good. "It's a bit coquettish.

Zhang Yuan said: "Then I'll see you bow." "That picture of a girl juju is his treasure, and now the person in the painting is in front of him, wouldn't it be wonderful if he could see her juju with his own eyes.

Shang Tanran shook his head again and refused, and the little maid said, "Keju didn't bring it." ”

Zhang Yuan instructed the little maid: "Then remember to bring it tomorrow morning, don't forget." ”

The little maid replied and looked at the young lady, who smiled at the corner of her mouth, and did not mean to let it go.

Zhang Yuan asked: "Miss Lan Ran wants to finish the picture of the White Horse Mountain Residence, remember to add the two young masters and servants to the cottage, and the beautiful girl and the little maid will be painted in the bamboo pavilion." ”

Shang Tanran smiled, came down from the bamboo pavilion, went to the hut study, Zhang Yuan grinded ink, watched Shang Tanran insist on a tube of lamb hair to outline Teton, the ink color is dry and wet, with the pen to the center, painting the mountains and stones are mostly against the front, showing the appearance of the mountains and rocks, the bamboo pavilion iron line outline, painting quite fast, presumably already thought about a long time, leaving these unfinished paintings is waiting for Zhang Yuan to arrive - Shang Xiangran glanced at Wuling a few times, and then drew a section head boy sitting on the stone steps in front of the hut and holding his cheeks stunned, as if listening to the cicada - Wu Ling thought: "This is not me, I'm much better than this boy. ”

Zhang Yuan asked, "Where am I?" ”

Shang Ran smiled, and soon drew a young scholar in front of the hut window holding a scroll - Zhang Yuan said: "This painting is wrong. ”

Shang Ran asked, "What's wrong?" ”

Zhang Yuan said: "It should be you sitting on the side and reading for me." ”

Shang Ran blushed on his cheeks, of course, he didn't follow what Zhang Yuan said, he carefully retouched the painting, and it took about half an hour before and after, looking up at the window, the sun was shining, and he said, "Ah" and said: "I'm going down the mountain, Zhang Gongzi, then I-I'll come back tomorrow?" ”

Zhang Yuan listened to Shang Tanran's tone was not very resolute, and knew that there was room for turning, so he hurriedly said: "Look at this light is so dazzling, I really can't read more, Xiao Wu stumbled in reading, what can I do?" ”

Shang Ran's eyelashes flashed, his eyes were shining, he glanced at Zhang Yuan, and said softly: "I'm afraid that my second brother will blame——"

Zhang Yuan said: "The second brother also knows that I want to be eye-catching, and if you study for me, the second brother will be pleased." ”

Shang Ran said: "Then I'll go and ask the second brother first, okay?" ”

Zhang Yuan said: "I deliberately went to say that I was the opposite, you stayed here to study for me, and the second brother was very pleased to see it when he came." ”

At this time, the Shang servant brought breakfast to Zhang Yuan's master and servant, and when he saw that Miss Tan Ran was also here, he couldn't help but be a little stunned, Zhang Yuan ordered: "Send four servings of lunch, Miss Tan Ran wants to study for me here." ”

Shang Tanran's face was flushed, and it was hard to say anything.

After the Shang servant went down the mountain, Zhang Yuan opened the food box and saw that it was two large bowls of lotus seed porridge and two plates of crispy honey cakes, Zhang Yuan took out the tea bowl and spoon, scooped a bowl of lotus seed porridge and brought it to Shang Ran, Shang Ran was at a loss and said: "How dare you bother Zhang Gongzi——"

Zhang Yuan smiled and said, "Please eat porridge." As he spoke, he quickly ate up the remaining half bowl of lotus seed porridge, and ate three pieces of honey cakes.

Looking at Shang Ran again, holding the tea bowl, blushing to the neck, it was too embarrassing to eat porridge in front of Zhang Yuan, but it was not easy to put down the bowl, this was given to her by Zhang Yuan himself, how could she save Zhang Yuan's face - but she heard Zhang Yuan say: "I'm full, Miss Lanran uses it slowly." "Brought out the remaining half of the plate of crispy honey cakes for Wuling to eat, paced outside the hut for a while, and when he went in again, Shang Ran had already drunk the lotus seed porridge in the tea bowl, and when he saw Zhang Yuan coming in, Shang Ran's face turned red again, this meal together, it feels like a couple, should you eat like this for lunch?

…… At three o'clock in the morning, Shang Zhoude came to the hut and heard his little sister Shang Ran reading:

"——The ram beam is made for the scriptures, the ceremony is detailed, the meaning is simple and strict, and there are people who cannot speak. The rest of the test evaluation, such as the painting of water and wood of good work, there is a depth of art if there is specialization, but since the ingenuity of the heart, each has its own end of the wonder. Zuo's text, full of chapters, large and small into lines, like the waves of water——"

Shang Zhoude smiled, stopped to listen for a long time, and then walked into the hut study, Zhang Yuan and Shang Ran hurriedly got up to salute, Shang Zhoude smiled: "It's good to have a little sister here to study for Jie Zi." ”

Zhang Yuan and Shang Ran couldn't help but glance at each other, secretly happy in their hearts.

Shang Ran sat for a while, and told the little sister to go back early in the evening, and then left, after all, it was already a big hire, Shang Zhoude was not worried that Zhang Yuan and the little sister were too close, this sunny day said, and there were Wuling and the little maid Yunjin, Zhang Yuan and the little sister would not do anything beyond the norm - Zhang Yuan said: "I'll cook tea, Xiao Wu can't cook well." ”

With the permission of the second brother to be here, Shang Tanran relaxed a lot and said, "Then I'll help you." ”

Zhang Yuan opened the ashes of the furnace and put in the charcoal, Shang Ran used a plain bamboo fan to fan the wind, the dark fire restored his sight, Zhang Yuan washed the Yixing teapot with a bamboo broom, poured water to boil, the two looked at each other, and the affection blended, Shang Ran couldn't bear this kind of strong affection, first lowered his head, his cheeks were red, and his nose was slightly sweaty, and he felt even more delicate and indescribable, so that Zhang Yuan wanted to lean over and kiss it, but he still restrained himself, for fear of startling Shang Ran, if he thought he was light and thin, it would be bad to be annoyed, this was not in a hurry - after the water boiled, first use a few spoons of cold water to make tea, In this way, it will not hurt the tea gas because of the boiling water, this is called the tea method, cook the tea, Zhang Yuan carried the teapot back to the study, poured two teas, Shang Ran read the "Spring and Autumn Solution" for Zhang Yuan, Shang Ran read softly, and read not fast, so that it does not hurt her throat, she can read for a long time, Zhang Yuan will not let her read for too long, about five or six pages, it will make Shang Ran stop, Shang Ran tastes tea and moistens his throat, he closed his eyes and silently recited the words that Shang Ran read, remembering and deepening his understanding - Shang Ran asked: "Zhang Gongzi, Do you have to close your eyes and listen to the book to remember? When she was studying, Zhang Yuan closed his eyes and remained motionless as if he was going to fall asleep, Shang Qianran had never seen Zhang Yuan's ability to recite by ear, only learned Zhang Yuan's blindfolded chess - Zhang Yuan opened his eyes and looked at Shang Qianran, and said with a smile: "You won't be distracted if you close your eyes, otherwise, it will always be difficult to concentrate when you look at you." ”

Shang Ran was beautiful, looked away and said, "Then I'll test you, okay?" Then he turned a few pages back, read a sentence casually, Zhang Yuan recited the back of a long paragraph, tried a few times, there was no mistake or omission, Shang Ran sighed: "In the past, Li Qingzhao and his husband Zhao Mingcheng had a meal, sat back to the hall, cooked tea, and pointed to the piled up of books, saying that something is in a certain book, a certain volume, a few pages, a few lines, who said it, who drank tea first - if it is Zhang Gongzi, who can win?" ”

Zhang Yuan smiled: "You can win me." ”

Shang Ran shook his head and said, "Although I can also remember strongly, I am far inferior to you. ”

Zhang Yuan said: "We will bet on something else in the future, not on this." ”

Shang Ran wanted to ask what he was gambling on, but he was thin-skinned and embarrassed to ask.

At noon, Shang's servant carried two food boxes up the mountain, there were four people's meals, this White Horse Mountain hut really became Zhang Yuan and Shang Ran's home, in the evening, Zhang Yuan sent Shang Ran and the little maid Yunjin down the mountain to the tea garden wharf, watching Shang Ran and the maid two of them go to tea, reluctant, full of expectations.

Zhang Yuan felt that reading like this was really happy, but unfortunately he couldn't add incense to read at night, otherwise he would be happy to die, well, he was very happy, and it was not good to be happy all of a sudden, so he had to be happy slowly.

The lonely lamp in the window, the spring and autumn system, the candle is extinguished, the starlight enters the room, and the night has passed.

The next time Zhang Yuan got up early, washed and refreshed, walked to the wharf at the bottom of the mountain, and saw Shang Ran and the little maid Yunjin getting off the boat and landing on the shore.

Zhang Yuanxi said: "Yunjin didn't forget to bring Keju. ”

The little maid Yunjin said: "The little maid almost forgot, but the young lady reminded me." ”

Shang Tan smiled solemnly, took out a letter from the bottom of his sleeve, and said to Zhang Yuan: "Zhang Gongzi, please take a look, this is a letter written by Jing Hui, I forgot to bring it to you yesterday, Xiao Hui can't write small letters, the characters are written large, and five sheets of size paper are written." ”

Zhang Yuan slowly climbed the steps up the mountain, while reading Xiao Jinghui's letter, this letter was written by Xiao Jinghui after he arrived in the capital, it was written to his aunt Shang Yanran, mainly to write about her and her uncle, mother and sister all the way to Beijing, Hangzhou that period of travel wrote the most, wrote a lot of Zhang Gongzi's brother how - Zhang Yuan read the letter, smiled, the lively and lovely, delicate and childish little Jinghui seemed to be in front of him, Ka Ka Gege said to him the experience of the way, remember that in this White Horse Mountain Bamboo Pavilion, Xiao Jinghui said: " Xiaohui also wants to marry Zhang Gongzi's brother like his aunt, okay? At that time, Zhang Yuan was taken aback, and when they were separated at the port of the Hangzhou Canal, Xiao Jinghui was worried that he would not know Zhang Gongzi's brother if he met again in a few years - Shang Ran said: "I heard the second brother say, my eldest brother may not stay in Beijing for a long time, he has been transferred from the Taifu Temple to the Metropolitan Procuratorate, and it is very likely that he will be released in one or two years." ”

Zhang Yuan asked: "What position does the eldest brother have in the Metropolitan Procuratorate?" ”

Shang Ran said: "It's the imperial history of Zuo Yudu." ”

Zhang Yuan said: "The Shaoqing of the Taifu Temple and the Imperial History of the Metropolitan Procuratorate are both the four products, but the Imperial History of the Imperial Court can correct the hundred divisions, and they are the eyes and ears of the Son of Heaven, and the authority is extremely heavy, the eldest brother is promoted, the eldest brother is just honest and honest, and the court is wise in employing people this time." ”
