Chapter 10 A pear tree presses begonias

Zhang Yuan had already heard the "Four Books Collection Notes" and the "Five Classics" commentary, and the other "Chinese" and "Warring States Policy" had been read four hundred years later, since he wanted to specialize in "Spring and Autumn", then Dong Zhongshu's "Spring and Autumn Blossom Dew" and Yang Shixun's "Spring and Autumn Liang Chuanshu" must be read, Zhang Yuan did not have these two books at home, and Tuo Fanzhen borrowed them from Xizhang to read to him.

It is already the beginning of the seventh month of the lunar calendar, Zhang Yuan's eyes have almost recovered, he has tried, reading a page of a book by himself and listening to someone read a page of a book, the memory effect is very different, he can only remember a small half of the book when he reads the book, but he can remember the tenth ** after listening to it once-

Zhang Yuan thought to himself: "It seems that God wants me to be eye-catching for the rest of my life, it's good, it's not uncommon to recite after seeing it, and it's rare to remember it, but I have to always have two people around me who can read to me, Lao Fan and Lao Zhan don't last long, so I have to look for another one, well, it seems good to listen to books at night with red sleeves, but I'm still young and I don't have any money, take your time, and think about it in the long run." ”

Zhang Yuan's family doesn't seem to be surprised by Zhang Yuan's changes, Zhang's mother Lu thinks that her son has experienced the pain of eye disease and has become sensible, and Xiao Xi Nu Wuling, who gets along with Zhang Yuan day and night, only feels happy, he likes the current young master, and twice made Xizhang's Yanke son disgraced, it's really enjoyable, the ten-year-old Rabbit Pavilion can be ignored, Yiting, illiterate, I don't think there is any difference between the young master who reads and doesn't read, as for Zhang Dachun, Zhang Cai's father and son, they haven't yet learned the means of the young master.

On the afternoon of the seventh begging festival in the first month of July, Zhang Yuan was listening to Fan and Zhan reciting "Spring and Autumn Dew" for him in the study, and heard that someone was knocking on the door at the small door of the back garden.

After a while, Wu Ling led a seventeen or eighteen-year-old handmaid with a beautiful face, and the handmaid knelt outside the study, crying and crying: "Young Master Jiezi, the little maid begs Young Master Jiezi-"

As soon as the servant girl spoke, Zhang Yuan recognized that this was the beautiful maid who followed Zhang Cao to make a bet, and asked, "What's the matter?" ”

Zhang's mother Lu also heard someone knocking on the door in the back garden, and asked the big girl Yi Ting to come over to take a look, Yi Ting looked at the West Zhang maid who was kneeling outside the young master's study, and said strangely: "Hey, Qiu Ling, what are you doing here!" ”

This Qiu Ling is usually very spirited, Yi Ting washes clothes by the Mash River, she sometimes stands under the weeping willows on the river bank while eating melon seeds while gossiping with Yi Ting, and once deliberately compared with Yi Ting's hands who are good-looking, Yi Ting has to wash clothes all year round, his hands are naturally rough, how can Qiu Ling's hands be delicate, but Yi Ting is not easy to provoke, and replied: "I am a little harder, but I have never been beaten, my wife is good to the next person." Qiu Ling was annoyed and angry, and didn't pay attention to Yiting anymore-

At this time, Qiu Ling was obviously not angry, and cried and cried: "Sister Yiting, help me beg Young Master Jiezi, my son-in-law is going to give me to the old man who guards the door." ”

Fan Zhen couldn't help laughing, and said to Zhang Yuan: "That's the case, the young master of Yanke Gongzi has been sitting blindfolded for a few days, it seems that he has not seen Shengzhi, and let people read to him, but the more he listens, the more irritable he becomes, this Qiu Ling doesn't know how to provoke Yanke Gongzi, and he has been beaten twice in three days, but Fan has not heard of the matter of giving it to the old man who is a janitorβ€”β€”"

Qiu Ling, who was kneeling outside the threshold, said: "It's just in the morning, the third prince ordered the little maid to marry the old man at night." ”

Fan Zhen smiled: "Is it the old man surnamed Wu, who is over sixty years old, and a pear tree presses begonias." As he spoke, he also "tsk" twice, as if he was very envious.

Qiu Ling cried: "The little maid begs the young master of Jiezi-"

Yi Ting said: "This is strange, the prince of Yanke wants to match you to the next person, what do you come to ask my young master to do!" ”

Qiu Ling said: "Young Master Yanke once had a gambling contract with Young Master Jiezi, and the little maid - the little maid is willing to serve the young master Jiezi." ”

When Zhang Yuan heard this, he felt quite uncomfortable: "This Qiu Ling said that he heard Zhang Cao say that he was going to lose her to me, and even shouted not to don't, until now he said that he was going to be given to Wu Lao Cangtou by Zhang Cao, so he thought about coming to Dongzhang, hehe, my Zhang Jiezi is only better than Lao Wu Tou?" He shook his head and said, "I don't want you to serve." ”

Qiu Ling cried and said: "Young Master Jie Zi, please save the little maid, the old man is old and ugly, and he still has scabies, the little maid would rather die than marry him, please Miss Jie Zi, only the young master Jie Zi can make the third son change his mind, please the young master." ”

Fan Zhen asked strangely: "What kind of bet?" ”

Qiu Ling couldn't care about it at this time, and told Zhang Cao about losing to Zhang Yuan.

Fan Zhen and Zhan Shiyuan looked at each other, and said in their hearts, no wonder Yan Kegongzi was drunk and crazy, it turned out to be such a big depression.

Fan Zhen said with a smile: "This maid's words are pitiful, and she is indeed not a good match for that Wu Cangtou, if Young Master Jie Zi can ask her from the third son, it will also be a good thing." ”

Zhang Yuan looked at that Qiu Ling, although she had a bit of a look, she was only vulgar, and she was too snobbish to love the rich and the poor, so he was not interested, shook his head and said, "I don't want her to serve - Wuling, send her away." ”

"Wait," Fan Zhen waved at Zhang Yuan: "Young Master Jiezi, take a step to speak." ”

Zhan Shiyuan understood Fan Zhen's intentions, and said with a smile: "Go back first, Brother Fan will stay and have a long talk with Young Master Jiezi." ”

After James Shiyuan left, there were only Zhang Yuan and Fan Zhen in the study, Fan Zhen looked at Zhang Yuan deeply, and said in a low voice: "The young master learned that Fan died early and has not been renewed, if the young master can let the third prince promise Qiu Ling to me as a concubine, then Fan will be grateful." ”

Zhang Yuan smiled and looked at this Fan Zhen, nearly fifty years old, goatee, clear and thin, well, yes, the beauty of the gentleman's sincerity and benevolence, it doesn't hurt to do such a good deed, and said, "Then I'll try." ”

Fan Zhen was overjoyed and thanked him again and again.

Zhang Yuan called Qiu Ling in, said that Mr. Fan wanted to marry her as a concubine, and asked Qiu Ling what he wanted?

Qiu Ling is afraid of rationing the old, ugly and pickled old Wu Tou, and has to face the contempt of those servants in Xizhang, his face is all lost, it is better to die, this Fan Qingke Si Wenwen, although he is not young, but compared with the old Wu Tou, it is much better, how can he not agree.

Zhang Yuan immediately wrote a letter and asked Qiu Ling to go back and hand it to Zhang Cao, Qiu Ling cowered and didn't dare to go, Zhang Yuan said: "Whether it is successful or not, it is in this book." Qiu Ling took the book and went back to Xizhang.

Zhang Yuan said: "Mr. Fan, it's still early, please Mr. Fan finish reading this seventh volume." ”

Fan Zhen began to read, and after reading about ten pages, she heard Zhang Cai report that the third son of Xizhang was here.

Fan Zhen said in her heart: "Sure enough, he was called to come." ”

But I heard Zhang Yuan say: "Mr. Fan will go to the side room to take refuge for a while, and I will also save some face for my third brother." ”

Fan Zhen nodded secretly, this Zhang Yuan really doesn't look like a fifteen-year-old boy in dealing with things, such a bearing and city government is definitely not a thing in the pool.

……

Zhang Cao came to the study, and when he saw that Zhang Yuan was the only one, his heart was relieved, his complexion was softened, he arched his hand, and asked, "Jiezi, what is the matter with calling me?" ”

Zhang Yuan said: "Third brother, please take a seat, I have something to discuss with the third brother." ”

Seeing Zhang Yuan's polite words, Zhang Cao was overjoyed, and said, "It's easy to say, what's the matter with Jiezi?" ”

Zhang Yuan said: "I heard that the third brother was going to give Qiu Ling to Wu Lao Cangtou, who was guarding the door, and Qiu Ling came to me and cried, saying that he would rather serve me than marry the old Wu Tou, so it seems that my Zhang Jiezi is still more pleasing to the beauty than the old Wu Tou." ”

Zhang Cao laughed and said, "That actually came to you to ask for help, what's the matter, you want her?" ”

Zhang Yuan said: "Well, send me, how can you beat that old Wu Tou." ”

Zhang Cao smiled: "Okay, I'll let her come over later, Jie Zi, I want to play a game of chess with you first." ”

Zhang Yuan still played chess with Zhang Cao blindfolded, and the result of the game was that Zhang Yuan won again.

Zhang Cao now admired this half-year-old brother a little bit of admiration, and said: "Jie Zi, Ming said that I play Go with you, do you still dare to play against me blindfolded?" ”

There are many people who can play blind chess, but Go is ever-changing and has a large number of pieces, and I have never heard of anyone who can play blindfolded.

Zhang Yuan said: "It's okay to try. ”

Zhang Cao said: "Okay, I'll see you tomorrow." ”

In the evening, Qiu Ling came over and brought her slave deed, with Zhang Cao's endorsement.
