Chapter 104: The Anger of the Champion Weng
Zhu Daolin and Ying Changpei broke up at Shengping Bridgehead in the city, Ying Changpei changed cars and went east to the soon-to-open Jiuyuan Street United Shops, and Zhu Daolin returned to Zizhuyuan to the west.
The young man who replaced Shi Qingyang, the head of Zizhuyuan, as Zhu Daolin's coachman, was surnamed Yang, called Yang Dading, a native of southern Henan, who was originally a small leader in the homeless guards, only twenty-four years old this year, with a mighty appearance and a stocky body, two strong and long arms, a family heirloom martial arts is quite outstanding, good at swordsmanship and riding and archery, and a highly skilled handlebar style, due to the fact that he has been smart and diligent for several months, and has been proactive, he has gradually been valued by Xuanqing Daochang and others, and finally at the ceremony held at the Ziyang Temple on the Xia Yuan Festival last year, Together with the other three outstanding guards, he officially entered the Xuanfang Daoist Sect and became Zhu Daolin's fellow disciples.
Yang Dading and his old mother, frail wife and two five-year-old twin sons, sister and brother-in-law are the first batch of lucky people who fled to be accepted by Ziyang Temple, and they are also the first batch of devout disciples who converted to Taoism.
The carriage entered the Zizhu Courtyard and stopped in front of the gate of the West Cross Courtyard, Zhu Daolin instructed Yang Dading: "The three boxes of gifts on the car are tea, a large mirror and a table clock, be careful, don't drive too fast, and apologize for me when I get to Old Man Yan's house, saying that I am busy with affairs and will definitely visit me another day." β
"If the young master of the Yan family is at home, tell him that he will come to the West Cross Courtyard to drink in the afternoon of the Lantern Festival, and go to the Qinhuai River to enjoy the lanterns together in the evening, remember?"
"Remember, don't worry, junior brother, junior brother will drive carefully."
Yang Dading respectfully agreed. Slightly straightened the palm-wide cow belt around his waist, casually pressed the treasure knife given by Zhu Daolin on his waist, and quickly boarded the carriage to turn the head.
Yuhu thought about it, said to Zhu Daolin, "I'll go with Dading", and hurried to catch up, jumped and sat on the bench next to Yang Dading.
Zhu Daolin knew that Yuhu didn't want to disturb himself and meet his long-lost insider, so he glanced at the two strangers under the big tree not far away and turned around and entered the courtyard gate. As soon as he took two steps, he saw Lao Shi and more than two dozen domestic servants who bent down to him in front of him.
Zhu Daolin's heart swelled with warmth, feeling that the West Cross Courtyard had a bit of a homely taste, he smiled and ordered kindly: "No need to be polite, go back, this time bring some small gifts to everyone, and let Lao Shi share them with everyone after dinner, let's disperse." β
The servants dispersed happily, and Zhu Daolin stepped forward and grabbed Lao Shi's rough big hand and shook it hard: "Hard work Lao Shi!" In less than a month, the school was open and two workshops were ready with 1,500 apprentice craftsmen. The hundred-person escort team has a good appearance, the entire Zizhu Garden inside and out, orderly, very remarkable, I just came back, the two masters praised you to me, and they were full of praise for your old history's ability! β
Shi Qingyang said happily: "It's all up to Lord Zhao to come over for three days and two times to help guide, otherwise this little ink in the small stomach will not be enough." There are two young grandmothers in the West Cross Courtyard, except for sending people to buy them. There is almost no need to worry about the rest of the complicated affairs, if you don't do it well. Won't you live up to the owner? Ha ha! β
Zhu Daolin smiled, turned around and pointed to the two strangers under the big tree outside the courtyard: "What's the matter with those two scholars dressed as scholars?" β
"Why are you still here?"
Lao Shi glanced at the tree in the distance and was annoyed, just about to go out was stopped by Zhu Daolin, he quickly turned around and reported in a low voice: "It was the servant of the dignitary sent by the champion Weng surnamed Zhou in Suzhou, who came once in the morning, and the little one received an urgent report to persuade them away." I didn't expect it to come again, it's really inexplicable! Don't worry about the owner, the little ones will go out and blow them away immediately! β
"Don't worry, who do they want?" Zhu Daolin had already guessed what was going on, but he still wanted to ask some more clearly.
Lao Shi was even more annoyed: "They said that if it was a girl, she would have promised to be a concubine for Zhuangyuan Weng a long time ago." According to the agreement, as soon as the Spring Festival passed, I had to take them back to Suzhou, and at first I saw them take out the name of the old champion of Suzhou Zhou who resigned and went into hiding, and I didn't dare to scold them loudly, and I kindly asked them to sit in the gatehouse, and after the small one went to the East Cross Academy School to find Xu everyone, and was annoyed to learn the ins and outs of the matter......"
"Even if the girl is not the beloved girl of the owner, but an ordinary girl, this kind of unfounded thing can't be counted! He is a bad old man in his sixties surnamed Zhou, why do he still do such a harmful thing, so the little one blew the people away, but he didn't expect them to dare to come, and the porter Lao Qin somehow let them in. β
"After driving people out, give Lao Qin three months' salary and let him roll up and get out!" Zhu Daolin, whose face was gloomy, threw down his words and turned around and entered the courtyard.
"Yes, the little ones will do it."
Lao Shi was frightened by Zhu Daolin's anger, in his memory, his owner took care of everyone very much, and he was kind to everyone, even if he had never been so annoyed in a fight, he must have been very angry!
At that moment, Lao Shi didn't dare to slack off, and immediately beckoned a few guards to go out together, and pushed and blasted the two Zhou family servants under the big tree out of Zizhu Garden.
In the main hall, Zhu Daolin held back the anger in his heart, and helped up his fiancΓ©e Xia Yuying and his concubine Pei Ruyan, who were saluting: "What are you doing with so many ceremonies?" Let's go in, let's go inside...... Xu Fu, what are you doing in a daze? Bring Liu Yatou and Mei Yatou in together, it's not strange to think for so long, I want to have a drink tonight to celebrate, don't be bitter, the sky can't fall. β
Zhu Daolin hugged a group of beauties into the east room, pulled Liu Ruyi, whose eyes were red and swollen from crying, kissed her fiercely on her white and tender face, deliberately made a loud "wave", and made all her women laugh, such a girl shyly ran to Xu Fu's side, buried her head behind Xu Fu and showed a happy smile.
"Did you get the instruments?" Zhu Daolin came to the coffee table and sat down.
Xu Fu nodded with a smile: "At noon, just after the carriage was sent to the East Cross Courtyard, ninety-eight carefully packaged musical instruments were just unloaded, all the children and old musicians gathered around, and they were very happy after opening, and the old musicians who had always cherished musical instruments were afraid that the children would be frizzy, so they all rushed to the side to watch, and then carefully took out one by one and arranged them in three rows. β
"It's a pity you didn't see it. Not only were the children amazed, but the old teachers were also excited, saying that it was worth it in their lives to be able to use such a good instrument! With this batch of hard-to-find musical instruments, I'm afraid that the sisters on both sides of the Qinhuai Strait will soon cause you trouble. β
Zhu Daolin smiled with satisfaction: "It's good to like it, in fact, among the craftsmen in Jinling City." There are a lot of masters who make musical instruments, what is lacking is just no good materials, this time I went to Tianshu Pavilion to do a lot of things too hurried, next time, next time I want to find a way to bring more strings and 100 sets of good tools for making musical instruments back, and give them to those musicians who make musical instruments all year round, and they no longer need to bring back musical instruments from thousands of miles away in the future, and musicians can also make more money to support their families with their skills. β
Xu Fu immediately gave Zhu Daolin a deep salute: "The slave family thanked the son on behalf of all the happy households!" β
Zhu Daolin waved his hand, and saw that Mei Yatou and Liu Yatou also saluted: "What are you two girls doing together?" Do you want to thank me for having a great time? β
The room burst into laughter. Xia Yuying, who has always been steady, also smiled flamboyantly, and all the dullness and worry were instantly dispersed by bursts of laughter.
When the laughter was loud in the west courtyard, there was a lot of tension in the Zhou family garden of the Lotus Fang, which was located in the south of Guozijian, and the old Zhou Zhuangyuan, who came from Suzhou to marry the concubine and take the opportunity to watch the Lantern Festival lanterns, was already so angry that his face was flushed without listening to the report of his subordinates, and the two servants who knelt in front of him with blue noses and swollen faces were crying and wiping their tears. The six brightly robed literati around him were all full of righteous indignation, and they couldn't wait to rush to Zizhu Garden now. Find out the wild Taoist priest who has made a name for himself with his piano skills.
There was a crisp sound of "pop", the hall was full of horror, and all eyes looked nervously at the head of the family and the respected teacher who were trembling with anger, for fear that he would turn his back on his anger and blood.
Poor Old Zhou Zhuangyuan finished dropping the cup, and then his old face was purple and swollen. The white beard trembled, staggered and scolded the sentence "The shaft dares to bully me" and fell, and the surrounding children rushed forward in surprise and rushed forward in unison, grabbing Zhou Lao Zhuangyuan to support his aging body before he fell.
Only Hou Fangyu, the son of Hou Sui, the right attendant of the military department, who came to visit, did not go up, he looked at the broken porcelain pieces and Tieguanyin tea on the ground and secretly screamed pity. Now even if you have money, you can't buy half a tael of Tieguanyin, which is famous in Jinling City!
Hou Fangyu was also deeply dissatisfied with the fact that a Taoist priest could become famous in a short period of time, but he was not as angry as Zhou Lao Zhuangyuan and his sons and nephews, he came to visit the Confucian seniors today with Wu Changshi, one of the founders of the Restoration Society, and did not like to see the Zhou seniors in their sixties doing things like old cows eating tender grass again and again.
Although this kind of behavior of old cows eating tender grass often wins the applause of the Great Ming Shilin, who praises it as a suave old man and a strong man, in the hearts of young literati, this practice is a tyrannical thing.
But no matter how you think about it, after all, the old champion of Zhou is a well-known Confucian senior, and he was so moraled by a wild Taoist who used his piano skills to provoke butterflies, Hou Fangyu had to squeeze in to comfort him, and say a few words of hatred and hatred.
Zhou Lao Zhuangyuan finally coughed up thick phlegm, and only after a few gurgles did he smooth his breath, and then he was helped to sit on the Taishi chair with seven hands and eight feet, and he was busy handing water and beating his back.
Wu Changshi, who was full of anger, finally freed his hand, bit his cheek and roared fiercely: "Senior brothers, junior brothers, Chaozong Xian brothers, a certain family has decided to go to Zizhu Garden in person early tomorrow morning, but I want to see, the wild Taoist who started by relying on the left road of the side door and selling ** ingenious things, dare to beat me Wu Changshi out of Zizhu Garden!" β
"Let's go!"
"Let's goβ"
After echoing indignantly, Hou Fangyu threw off his big sleeves and took a big step forward, and very elegantly saluted Zhou Lao Zhuangyuan, who was relieved on the Taishi chair: "Seniors, don't worry, tomorrow the boy will also go to Zizhuyuan with all the senior brothers, and he will definitely seek justice for his seniors." β
