Chapter 219: Yangzhou Skinny Horse
Listening to the servant's reply, Chen Jiru frowned and said nothing, and the servant said again: "Meigong, the villain saw the Dong Mansion family going in and out of the Dong Mansion, as if something big had happened, and saw that two people were arrested, and on the way back, the villain heard passers-by talking about the Dong Mansion slaves and the Qingshou looking for people who posted the list everywhereββ"
"What's the list?" Chen Jiru asked.
The servant said: "The villain doesn't know, anyway, it makes people panic." β
Zhang Yuan and his eldest brother Zhang Dai glanced at each other, and Zhang Yuan said in his heart: "Could it be that the 'calligraphy and painting are difficult to speak of', Jin Langzhi and they posted it?" β
Chen Jiru asked the servant to step back, picked up the teacup and drank tea, except for the long eyebrows and a slight wrinkle, he could not see the slightest gloom, this public self-cultivation is excellent, and his "Warning Words" has two sentences written: "Right and wrong are clear in the end, what to argue; People are fighting for nothing, what are you annoyed about-"
So Chen Jiru was not ashamed, and asked Zhang Yuan with a smile: "Do you know what that list is?" β
Zhang Yuan said: "It is expected that Zhang Bang, who has been bullied by the Dong family, has reported his injustice. β
Chen Jiru said: "The evil of attacking people is not too strict, and whether it can be accepted must be considered." Chen Jiru is old and spicy, and he knows that this matter has nothing to do with Zhang Yuan, so he said such a sentence.
Although Zhang Yuan respects Chen Meigong very much, Chen Meigong can be said to have done the ultimate in his own self, his personal knowledge and interest in life are appreciated, Zhang Yuan can play chess and taste tea with Meigong, but he can't know each other more deeply, and said at the moment: "The younger generation thinks that it is appropriate to treat good people leniently, and to treat evil people strictly, Huating people's grievances are boiling, and Dong would rather be able to prevent everyone's mouth!" He stood up and bowed and said: "The younger generation is young and vigorous, outspoken and fast-talking, and it is not strange to be a man." β
Chen Jiru said with a smile: "What's the matter, but I still have a word of persuasion: don't blame people for being petty, don't make people selfish, don't think about people's old evils, these three can cultivate virtue and can also be far harmful, this is not specifically for your entanglement with the Dong family." β
This is a very clever philosophy of life, and it is also to persuade Zhang Yuan not to have too deep a grudge with the Dong family, how could Zhang Yuan not understand, and said: "The imperial examination is an official and does not love the people, and he is a thief in clothes; is full of moral articles and does not bow down, that is a mantra, this is the prejudice of the younger generation against Dong Hanlin. β
Chen Jiru waved his hand and smiled: "That's it, don't talk about this, you two go to the Naughty Immortal Mansion with me and take a look at the inscriptions I collected." β
Chen Jiru collected a lot of inscriptions, among which the famous Su Shi's "Wind and Rain Bamboo Tablet", Huang Tingjian's "This Junxuan Tablet", Mi Fu's "Manna Yipin Stone Tablet", Zhu Xi's "Ploughing Cloud Fishing Moon Tablet", Zhang Dai, Zhang Yuan followed Chen Jiru to appreciate, Chen Jiru also sent them a few volumes of inscription rubbings - the first moment of Shen Shi, Zhang Yuan said goodbye to Chen Jiru: "Thank you Mei Gong for your hospitality and good words, the younger generation will rush back to Qingpu, goodbye to Mei Gong." β
Zhang Dai also shook his head to the ground: "Say goodbye to Meigong." β
Chen Jiru sent Zhang Yuan and his group of seven people to the "Waterside Forest Garden", watched Zhang Yuan and them walk on the vine bridge, shook his head and said to himself: "Dong Gong has no way to teach his son, and he has an enmity with Zhang Yuan, but I am afraid that there will be endless troubles." β
The bamboo fence door squeaked open, and the girl in the bamboo crown cloth robe walked out, standing beside Chen Jiru, holding a roll of pale yellow bamboo paper in her hand, and her voice was as sweet as a yellow warbler: "What kind of people do you think these two Zhang Gongzi are?" β
Chen Jiru glanced sideways at this beautiful girl, and when he raised his eyes to look at Zhang Yuan and his party, he had already hidden in the rocks and trees, and said: "Ten years old is a prodigy, twenty years old is a genius, this is Zhang Dai, as for Zhang Yuan, the old man can't see through him, this son is smart, keen, sophisticated but sharp, really not like a seventeen-year-old young man." β
The girl chuckled and said, "I'm still a young man, otherwise how would I beat Dong Ergongzi with my own hands." He snorted lightly and said, "But Dong Er is also underbeaten, last time-" pursed his delicate lips and didn't say any more.
Chen Jiru said with a smile: "Dong Zu is often supposed to play, but this is also because of your beauty, when you played chess, Zhang Dai didn't look at chess, only looked at you, Zhang Yuan, fortunately he has the ability to blindfold chess, otherwise he can't play chess." β
The girl blushed on her cheeks, and suddenly her face was full of peach blossoms, she was beautiful, and said coquettishly: "Meigong makes fun of others." "The thin waist is twisted slightly, the cherry lips are slightly pursed, and the coquettish and coquettish state makes Chen Meigong, who wrote "Quit Color Song", have bright eyes, and does beauty also have the effect of clear eyes?
Chen Jiru was holding a pu kui fan in his hand, and at this time, he used the fan to shade the sun, looked at the direction where Zhang Yuan and the others were going, and said: "Crown, if you are asked to choose one of the two as your son-in-law, which one do you choose?" β
The girl's crown was not ashamed at this time, and said: "The crown wants to marry a strange man in the world, and he is willing to be a concubine. When he said this, he suddenly remembered that night in the West Lake boat, Zhang Yuan said, "Can a girl like Zhang Yimei drink with a bearded guest?" It seems that Zhang Yuan is a strange man-Chen Jiru said with a smile: "Then tell me, what is a strange man?" β
The girl Wang Guan smiled and said, "Only a man like Mei Gong is a strange man." β
Chen Jiru slapped the girl's head with a pu kui fan, and scolded with a smile: "Rude, is this what you should say to the teacher!" β
The girl "Gege" smiled coquettishly, turned her hands together, and said solemnly: "The disciple is sincere, Meigong is a real celebrity and a strange man, if the disciple can't find a home before the age of twenty, he will come to Sheshan to accompany Meigong and Wangmei Gong to take him in." β
Chen Jiru waved his fan and wanted to fight, the girl did not avoid it, lowered her eyebrows and eyelashes, dignified like a dragon girl, Chen Jiru shook her head and smiled: "Ghost girl, and flirt with the teacher, I am decayed, I am afraid of the difficulty of the imperial examination and the danger of my career, so I burned the Confucian crown, just to survive, what a strange man." β
The girl said: "Strange men are not eclectic, Mei Gong is a strange man, and Li Zhuowu is also a strange man." β
Chen Jiru said with a smile: "How much do men in the world know, Zhuo Wu has passed away, what can I do?" β
The girl smiled: "I will go up and down and seek, but I can't ask for it, I will return to Sheshan, and I will have mercy on me." β
Chen Jiru shook his head and smiled, and said: "Crown, if you can find a good home, you will be more fortunate than most women in the world, because you can choose your own husband, although you can't be a wife, but as long as you are in love, with your talent and wisdom, you will be favored." β
The girl smiled and said, "If you meet the eldest woman who is jealous, won't it be bitter." β
Chen Jiru said: "If you don't agree, you will be scattered, or you will not live in one place, this is your freedom, and you have a man who is willing to pity you." He added: "According to the old man, the two Zhang are very good, but Zhang Yuan and Dong Gong have become enemies, and I don't know what kind of turmoil will happen." β
The girl said: "The teacher really thinks that the disciple is worried about getting married, and the disciple is twenty-eight years old, and he wants to travel more." β
Chen Jiru said with a smile: "Wang Ruqian of She County invites you to visit Huangshan, and Wu Xingmao Yuanyi invites you to visit Kuanglu, when will you go?" β
The girl didn't answer, but said: "The disciple wants to go back to Nanjing first, I don't know why the second Zhang said to go to Nanjing, the disciple wants to go with them, what does the teacher think?" β
Chen Jiru smiled and said: "Very good, with your cunning, you should be able to maneuver, they are not far away, let people chase and ask?" β
The girl summoned a boy with drooping hair, and gave a few commands, and the boy said yes, and galloped away, and the rugged mountain road was like walking on the ground.
The girl's surname is Wang, the name is micro, the word Xiuwei, the small character crown, lost her father at the age of seven, was adopted by the rich family who raised thin horses in Yangzhou, Yangzhou thin horses, famous all over the world, the gentry married concubines preferred Yangzhou thin horses, the first class of thin horses have special female teachers to teach thin horses to play the piano,, chant poetry, learn books, paint, Go, play double-back, wipe dominoes, as well as dress up, walking, sitting and lying down The style has been taught, and even from the "embroidered like this idiot woman biography" to learn the style on the pillow, to marry the first-class thin horse as a concubine, the cost of silver is not less than a thousand taels, all of which belong to the family who raised the thin horse, raising such a thin horse can net more than 500 taels of silver, so Yangzhou by raising thin horses to make a living is not less than hundreds of households - Wang Wei is the first class of Yangzhou thin horse, at the age of 12 by the old Nanjing courtyard of the name of Ma Xianglan 600 taels of silver bought, Wang Wei recognized Ma Xianglan as his mother, after Ma Xianglan carefully trained, Wang Wei is not only good at and Go, but also calligraphy is beautiful, poetry and elegance, the name of Jinling, known as the first in the song, the reputation has overshadowed the name of Qinhuai Water Pavilion Li Xueyi, last year Ma Xianglan died of illness, "Youlan Pavilion" Wang Wei inherited Ma Xianglan's chivalrous spirit, and traveled with celebrities and celebrities, regardless of money, and the husband and wife refused to do so...... Zhang Yuan and his eldest brother Zhang Dai, as well as Mu Jingyan and Mu Zhenzhen, said goodbye to Chen Meigong, and wanted to cross Sheshan to return to Lu's manor, this section of the road was about five miles, the forest was lush, and he didn't feel the heat of the summer - Zhang Dai said: "Meigong still speaks for Dong Qichang, and only thinks that Dong Zu often does evil, and has nothing to do with Dong Qichang." β
Zhang Yuan said: "The vast majority of people judge good and evil by their own good and bad, what is good to me is good, and what is bad to me is evil, Meigong is a first-class smart person, he sees it very thoroughly, and he is a good man." β
Zhang Dai said: "The list that made Dong's father and son angry should be 'calligraphy and painting are difficult to talk about', Brother Jin and Brother Weng posted it?" β
Zhang Yuan's eyebrows frowned slightly, and said: "It should be, the Dong family is angry, I don't know if the Dong family's disciple Bu Shicheng knows Brother Jin and them, if they do, I am afraid that the Dong family will persecute Brother Jin and them, we will rush to Huating early in the morning, invite some more Qingpu students to go with us, first go to see Huang Guoding, the prefect of Songjiang, and attack the Dong family in the name of punishing Huating's beatings, and see how the Dong family responds." β
Zhang Dai said: "Okay, let Liu Jingting go with us, just talk for one day, and those who hate the Dong family in Huating will gather." β
Taking the opportunity of attacking the Dong family to unite the lives of the three counties of Songjiang is Zhang Yuan's strategy to kill three birds with one stone, and his social league plan is about to be implemented -- the group went up to the top of She Mountain, looked back at the "waterside forest garden" by the lake at the foot of the mountain, Zhang Dai said in love: "That girl's crown is really stunning, and she has only seen it in her life." β
Thinking of the bamboo-crowned cloth robe and the girl like a clear water hibiscus, Zhang Yuan also nodded and said, "It's really stunning, I almost lost the chess." β
Zhang Dai said: "If Yanke knew that this girl was here, he would regret that he didn't come with us today, and we shouldn't mention it when we go back, otherwise he might have to come over overnight, wouldn't it make Meigong laugh." β
Zhang Yuan laughed.
