Chapter 340: Father and Son

Although Zhang Ruiyang noticed that his son Zhang Yuan's expression was a little wrong, he was now happy, and he didn't think about anything else at all, he just thought that his son was tired from the scientific expedition, and said with concern: "My son is tired, hurry up and go in to rest." ”

A new servant rushed forward: "Young master, the villain helped the young master in." "I'm going to come to Zhang Yuan, with a flattering face-

Zhang Yuan waved his hand to refuse, and said to his father Zhang Ruiyang: "Father, my sister is also back-" and bowed to the crowd: "Fathers and fellow villagers, we will meet again tomorrow, and we will meet again tomorrow." ”

Gathered in front of the "Xie Yuandi" archway in front of the neighbors scattered slightly, Shang Zhoude, Zong Yishan and the servants escorted the four small sedan chairs into the house, there were six or seven women and maidservants came to pick up the sedan chair, Zhang Yuan looked, in addition to Shi Shuang's wife Cuigu, they are also fresh faces, fortunately the courtyard inside the door wall is still the same, otherwise it is really too no sense of belonging, the heart said: "It has been less than a month since the lift, it is already such a scene, if I come back in half a year, I will not recognize my old house." ”

Zhang Ruiyang saw that Wang Wei came to visit, his son's concubine, he had nothing to say, so he only said to Zhang Ruoxi: "Lead her in to see your mother-"

Zhang's mother Lu has been accompanied by the rabbit pavilion to the front yard, Zhang Yuan, Zhang Ruoxi, Shang Ran, Yi Ting, Wang Wei, Mu Zhenzhen have stepped forward to visit, Zhang's mother Lu Shi was so happy that she couldn't close her mouth, seeing Wang Wei was stunned, Zhang Ruoxi hurriedly said in her mother's ear: "This is Wang Wei, I have been on my side since I left Shanyin last time, and now I am in Hangzhou to help me take care of the cloth village, I have talked to her, and I also rewarded her with a jade bracelet, she is a very good girl." ”

Zhang's mother Lu asked the rabbit pavilion to help Wang Wei up, looked Wang Wei up and down with a smile, and said in her heart: "My son is really visionary, I have never seen such a beautiful girl in Shanyin City, she is three points more beautiful than Lan Ran, well, there is no problem if Lan Ran is willing to accept her." He said, "Okay, okay, go inside and talk." Holding his daughter Zhang Ruoxi with one hand, and his daughter-in-law Shang Ran with the other hand walked to the inner courtyard through the hall, the house was full of lights inside and outside, just like Zhang Yuan and Shang Ran got married in April-

Zhang Ruoxi hugged her mother and said with a smile: "There is another great joy, my mother must be so happy that she can't sleep when she hears it." ”

"Oh." Zhang's mother Lu said: "What is a big happy event, say it quickly?" ”

Zhang Ruoxi looked at Shang Ran who was walking on the other side, and said in a low voice: "She is two months pregnant. ”

"Ahh Zhang's mother Lu was surprised and delighted, stood by the patio, took Shang Ran's hand, and said eagerly: "Really? It's true? ”

When the elder asked, he couldn't just nod or shake his head, Shang Ran said shyly: "Yes." ”

Zhang's mother Lu Shi suddenly smiled, she was even happier than when she came back to say that Zhang Yuan was in high school, and the elderly woman loved to hold her grandson, and there were not many gentry in Shaoxing who were over fifty years old and had no grandchildren like her-

Zhang's mother Lu was originally half-supported by Shang Ran, but then she turned to Shang Ran, and said in a frightened tone: "Ah, I knew this, I wouldn't have let you go to Hangzhou, it's okay, it's okay, Bodhisattva bless, Bodhisattva bless." ”

Shang Ran felt a little proud in her heart, thinking that if she first told her aunt that she might be pregnant, then Hangzhou would definitely not be able to go, and West Lake would not have to play-

Just because Shang Ran was pregnant, Zhang's mother Lu treated Ran as a person made of porcelain, and loved and cared for it, for fear that she would accidentally bump into it, and when she went to the downstairs tearoom to let Shang Ran sit on the circle chair, she remembered that it was cold now, and hurriedly asked someone to take a mattress cushion to cushion it, so that Shang Ran could sit down, hold her hand and ask for warmth, leaving no stone unturned, and asking for everything-

The mother's nervous and happy appearance made Zhang Ruoxi on the side feel a little funny, as for this, I suddenly thought that my mother gave birth to a total of six children, but only she and Xiaoyuan sisters and brothers were born, and my mother was palpitating.

……

In the front hall, Zhang Ruiyang, Zhang Yuan's father and son, and Zong Yishan accompanied Shang Zhoude to dinner, Shang Zhoude was happy, drank a pound of Shaoxing wine, and was half drunk, Zhang Yuan wanted to leave him here to rest, but the Huiji Shang Mansion had already sent someone outside to wait for Shang Zhoude to go back-

Zhang Yuan and Zong Yishan sent Shang Zhou De to the Bashi Bridge to get on the boat, watching the boat go around the river bay before going back, it was already the second drum time, the moon had not yet risen, Laifu and Shishuang were carrying lanterns on both sides, and the bluestone pavement was clean-

"Brother Yishan, what do you have to teach me about today's affairs?" Zhang Yuan walked slowly with his hands in his hands, and added: "There are groups of servants, and the neighbors admire them." ”

Zong Yishan had already seen that Zhang Yuan had something in his heart, and Zhang Yuan looked very cold when he saw the servants who took refuge in front of the "Xie Yuandi" archway, Zong Yishan pondered for a moment and said: "I know your worries, but this is also the atmosphere, before Jiajing, the officials returned to their hometowns and the eunuch bag was empty, and the fathers and elders in Lu comforted each other, praised their two sleeves and breeze, if the eunuch bag was full, then they despised each other and did not get along, and they were ashamed of corrupt officials, but since Longqing and Wanli, the officials returned to their hometowns, and the people did not ask about their character, only asked how much money they had, and they were able to take more gold as their ability. For the officials who are honest and honest, they are made fun of as idiots, thousands of miles for officials are only for money, and now Wu Yue Shizi, once he is promoted, there are beautiful men who ask for servants, and beautiful women who seek concubines, and who are rich in qualifications, called 'leaning on the body', thinking that it is a way to avoid conscription and defend foreign insults, so in the middle of the lift, you don't have to go out to be an official, it is enough to get richβ€”β€”"

After a pause, Zong Yishan slowed down his tone, but every word was even more thought-provoking: "Huating Dong Xuanzai, the family wealth in the past thirty years has been huge, how can he have managed it himself, most of it is refuge, the city fox society rat, embarrassed for annihilation, and half of the evil of the Dong family is also committed by his family slaves, but in the end, it must be counted on the head of the Dong family." ”

Zhang Yuan laughed at himself: "I want to help the world, but I didn't expect that the first problem I had to face was my father, fortunately I don't have siblings, otherwise it would be more difficult to restrain me." ”

Zong Yishan felt that what he had just said was a bit heavy, and he turned around and said: "My father-in-law is a loyal elder, and he will not behave like the Dong family, and it is nothing to accept a few domestic servants who rely on him, the atmosphere is like this, just strictly restrain the domestic servants." ”

Zhang Yuan smiled, made a decision in his heart, and returned to the "Xie Yuandi" archway with Zong Yishan, and saw a group of servants coming out of the wall door, but it was Zhang Ruiyang who sent these people out, and these servants bowed down to Zhang Ruiyang to say goodbye, saying: "Master." Seeing Zhang Yuan and Zong Yishan, he respectfully called "young master" and "uncle." Then they went their separate ways, and in an instant they were gone.

Without waiting for his son Zhang Yuan to ask, Zhang Ruiyang first explained: "The house is cramped and narrow, and I can't live in these people, these people are all households in Shanyin City and the suburbs of the city, and now they are going home to rest, and they will come to listen to the errand tomorrow morning, and these sons are really busy for their father, thanks to their help." ”

Zhang Ruiyang twisted his goatee, looked at the missing moon that had just risen in the eastern sky, and sighed happily, but said: "I am going to buy your eighth uncle's house, and our house should also be expanded, otherwise we can't live in so many people, and the big archway and small house are not so suitable." ”

The eighth uncle is Zhang Ruiyang's cousin Zhang Lu, next to Zhang Yuan's family, Zhang Lu's son Zhang Dingyi is one year younger than Zhang Yuan, and he played with Zhang Yuan a few years ago.

Zhang Yuan said: "Father, this matter is not appropriate, in our own opinion, the two sides negotiated to buy it with money, but in the eyes of outsiders, it is inevitable that there is a reputation for relying on power to encroach on the real estate of the clanβ€”β€”"

Zhang Ruiyang hurriedly said: "Why is this, let's make up for your eighth uncle's family some more money, how can we not let your eighth uncle suffer, your eighth uncle's hundred-year-old mansion will be sold to others for more than 200 taels of silver at most, let's give him 400 taels of silver." He looked at Zong Yishan and said, "In the future, Yishan and Yiting can also live with us." ”

Zong Yishan smiled and didn't speak for his father-in-law.

A little maid came out of the wall door, saw Zong Yishan, turned around and rushed to the door, "Aunt Zong is in front of the door." ”

Yi Ting walked out with a servant woman and saluted Zhang Ruiyang, who asked Laifu to pick up a lantern to send Zong Yishan and his wife back.

Zhang Yuan followed his father to the inner courtyard, the father and son were silent, and when they arrived at the courtyard, Zhang Ruiyang suddenly said: "There are also houses on the west side of Zhang." ”

Zhang Yuan knew the meaning of his father's words, earlier West Zhang was also the same as East Zhang's side was a gathering of clans, and then Zhang Yuanbian became rich, and other poor relatives gradually moved to other parts of the city to live, and the house was resold to Zhang Yuanbian, Zhang Rulin and his son. But there are many slaves in Xizhang, and bullying still happens from time to time, otherwise how did the reputation of the first gentleman in Sanyin come about?

- Also, Zhang Yuan's deeper understanding of his father Zhang Ruiyang's heart through this sentence is: his father has always been angry about West Zhang Fudong and Zhang Poor, and he also wanted to develop through the imperial examination in his early years, but he was only a child at the age of 30, and finally relied on the recommendation of his uncle Zhang Rulin to find an errand in Kaifeng Zhou Wangfu, and his father should have a strong sense of frustration in his heart, if you want to show your style, you have to be in front of your neighbors.

Zhang Yuan understands his father's mood very well, and he also wants to fulfill his father's vulgar but practical wishes, but-

"Father, my son has something to tell his father." Zhang Yuan felt the need to have a long talk with his father.

Zhang Ruiyang said "um", the father and son went up to the south building, Zhang's mother Lu and Zhang Ruoxi were about to send Shang Ran downstairs, Zhang's mother Lu smiled and said: "Yuan'er, you and Ran go back to the West Building, you have to rest early." Seeing that her husband Zhang Ruiyang's face seemed to be a little unhappy, he asked, "What's the matter?" ”

Zhang Yuan said: "The son wants to report to his father about this township test. ”

Zhang Ruoxi said: "I'll send Ran back to the West Building." ”

Zhang's mother, Lu Shi, saw that she had gone downstairs, so she whispered to Zhang Ruiyang and said, "You're happy." The joy was palpable.

Zhang Ruiyang was also overjoyed, and the previous trace of unhappiness was swept away, and he said to Zhang Yuan: "Are you going to tell your father about this?" ”

Zhang Yuan said: "There are some other things. ”

Zhang Ruiyang nodded, entered the bedroom with his old wife Lu Shi, sat down on the drunkard chair, and asked Zhang Yuan to sit down, "What does Yuan'er have to say?" ”

Zhang Yuan reported to his father that Dong and Wang's rumors were slandered, saying that the chief examiner Qian Qianyi tried to punish him severely, but he had no choice but to Dong and Wang up and down, and the political envoy and the prosecutor were deliberately biased and unwilling to strictly investigate the main culprit behind the scenes, Dong Zuyuan and Wang Ruqian were safe and sound, and Dong Qichang was still visiting the Taoist officials everywhere in the court, and he also wanted to sit on the fraud case, everyone in the Han Society was uneasy, and Qian Hanlin specially told him to be cautious in everything and not to talk to others-

Zhang Yuan deliberately exaggerated and slightly exaggerated these things, Zhang Ruiyang has served in the Zhou Palace, of course, he knows the sinister nature of officialdom, and his expression is solemn.

Mother Lu Shi was afraid and hateful: "These people are jealous when they see my son's understanding of Yuan, and they are so rumor-mongering and framing, and the government is not strictly investigated, which is really hateful." ”

Zhang Yuan comforted: "Mother doesn't have to worry, my son is upright, he is based on real talent and learning, and the purpose of the Han Society is also to be loyal to the monarch and patriotism, these people can't catch our handle, and the rumors will eventually disperse." ”

Zhang Ruiyang pondered silently, he understood his son's intention to say these words to him, he had been in the palace for more than 20 years, after all, he was very experienced, not a gentry in the cramped township, his son Zhang Yuan was indeed very proud after his son Zhang Yuan was released from high school, he was respected, flattered, and felt very good, but now I heard Zhang Yuan say these things, and I also know the difficulty of my son's career in the future, and his uncle Zhang Rulin was dismissed from his post and returned to his hometown to live in the crown with ease-

After a while, Zhang Ruiyang said: "Then we won't buy your eighth uncle's house, I think Zhang Lu's son doesn't study well, and some time ago he stole the family's money to go out to gamble, if we buy his house, he will lose his gambling in the future, and he will definitely play a scoundrel and say bad things about us." ”

Zhang Yuan said: "Father thinks very much, although my house is a little old, but there are twenty rooms on the upper and lower floors of the south building and the west building, and the residence is enough, and there is a small building on the bank of the Mash River in the back garden, there are also ten rooms, and the Shishuang family will live downstairs over there, which is regarded as guarding the back door, and the family can also live there temporarily if there are festive relatives and friends, and the son will go to Beijing in early October, Laifu and Xiaowu will go with him, and I will also take it with me, the house is very empty, and I will go there naturallyβ€”β€”"

Zhang's mother Lu said: "I can't go, she is two months pregnant, and she will be four months old when you leave in October, and she needs to recuperate the most." ”

Zhang Yuan nodded and said, "Yes, yes, I won't go." ”

Zhang's mother Lu asked, "What about Wang Wei?" ”

Zhang Yuan said: "Wang Wei wants to help my sister manage the cloth village, of course she can't go, and she won't stay in Shanyin, so the house and manpower at home are enough." ”

Zhang Ruiyang said: "There are not enough people, if it weren't for the help of those new servants these days, your mother and I would really be too busy." ”

Zhang Yuan said patiently: "After the child is reborn, there are those who want to send the field property, and there are those who are committed to slavery, and the children have refused, there are many people, and there are naturally more things, without those people, there will be fewer things, and now there are Fu Cheng and Fu Dagong father and son, Shi Shuang's family of four, two old maids who wash and cook, rabbit pavilion, and four maids and two small maids brought by Ran, the manpower is enough, the kitchen in the front yard should add people, you can ask Shi Shuang to hire two middle-aged women in the countryside, and make a contract, just like the original employment of Shi Shuang's family, most of the evil of the Huating Dong family comes from domestic slaves. ”

Zhang Ruiyang said: "These are not only these six families that want to take refuge, there are at least twenty families, these six families are for the father to let Fan Zhen visit, the people are sincere, diligent and enthusiastic, and there are many people who send silver, for the father has declined, Yuan'er, these six households that have been accepted are forgotten, and they will not accept others to take refuge in the future, how about it?" ”

At this time, if he refused directly, it would be too much for his father to get off the stage, Zhang Yuan was silent for a moment, and the conversation changed, and asked: "Father sees how much future the child can have in his career?" ”

Zhang Ruiyang laughed: "What, do you want to praise you for your father?" ”

Zhang Yuan smiled and said: "Don't avoid relatives in the internal move, please speak up to my father." ”

Zhang Ruiyang said: "These words of praise that my father heard were calloused, and my father also knew that your ambitions were not small, if you work hard, the future is limitless, that's what Uncle Su said." ”

Zhang Yuan asked again: "What does the father think his son is studying hard and working hard for the imperial examination?" ”

Zhang Ruiyang hesitated for a moment and said: "Shine the door and benefit the township." ”

Zhang Yuan said: "Father said very much, the glory of the court is private, the benefit of the township is the public, it is difficult to be born in the world to be as selfless as a saint, the son does not want to be a saint, the son wants to take care of both public and private, I hope that Dongzhang will be prosperous and can be admired by the people of Shanyin, the two elders are free of disease and disaster, healthy and long-lived, and I also hope that the country is peaceful and the people live and work in peace and contentment, I think most of the world's scholars wish to be like this, but many officials to the first assistant of the dynasty can assist the emperor in governing the country, but can not keep the family safe, such as Xia Yan, Xu Jie, Zhang Juzheng, why is this? ”

Xia Yan, a native of Guixi, Jiangxi, the first assistant in the Jiajing period, was framed to death by Yan Song, and was killed;

Xu Jie, a native of Huating, Songjiang, overthrew Yan Song and became the first assistant, but after Zhishi, due to the encroachment of the clansmen on the land of the villagers, he was thoroughly investigated by Hai Rui, and was almost killed, and was forced to withdraw a large number of fields;

Zhang Juzheng, who was the emperor's teacher and first assistant during his lifetime, was in the community, with unlimited scenery, but after his death, he raided his home, and his family starved to death, which was unbearable-

This is all in the past fifty years, of course Zhang Ruiyang knows, at this time when he heard his son mention it, he was shocked, these three people are not spurned by the world compared to Yan Song's father and son, and they all have a reputation for being honest, but there is one thing in common is that their family members and clansmen took advantage of the situation to run rampant and were impeached as one of the crimes by political enemies -

Zhang's mother Lu heard about Zhang Juzheng, and said worriedly: "Yuan'er, according to Weiniang, you don't want to enter Beijing at all, just stay in this county, this official is not good, you are just a person, there are so many people who are jealous of you and want to frame you, so what's going on in the future!" ”

Zhang Yuan knelt down on his mother's knees and said: "Of course the son wants to serve his parents for the rest of his life, but the son feels that he can still do something for the country, and the rise and fall of the country is the responsibility of the husband, the son is not talking about playing, but is serious - don't worry about the mother, the son has offended some people, but he has also made a lot of good fate, and the son will definitely be able to shine in the family and benefit the township." ”

Zhang's mother Lu had tears in her eyes, caressed her son's face, touched his ears, and pinched-

Zhang Ruiyang put down his father's dignity and said: "Yuan'er, Ming said that he was a father, and persuaded the six domestic servants who took refuge in him, except for local public welfare, he would never be asked by others to enter and leave the public gate to solicit lawsuits, do these two things well, and there is no big mistake in other things, so that you don't have any worries." ”

Zhang Yuan is very happy, it is not easy to let go of his father's dignity and listen to his son's advice, his father is a wise and upright person-

Zhang's mother, Lu Shi, was pleased: "The filial piety of the father and the son is really happy to watch." ”

Zhang Ruiyang said: "Yuan'er is well-read, more far-sighted than me, the reason why my father agreed to those people to take refuge is not because of their land, but because those people are earnest and begging, I can't bear to refuse, but now I have to be ruthless, if these people take root in my Dongzhang, it will be like a vine grass is difficult to remove." ”

Zhang Ruoxi walked in, saw Zhang Yuan kneeling, and asked in surprise, "What's wrong?" ”

Zhang Ruiyang motioned for Zhang Yuan to stand up, and said with a smile: "Zhang Yuan admonishes his father, and his father accepts him well-I don't know if there will be this in the history books in the future." ”

Zhang Yuan said with a smile: "My father will be proud of 'not entering the public in his life'. ”

Zhang Ruoxi didn't know what his father and younger brother were talking about, Zhang Ruiyang had figured it out, so he didn't think it was a loss of face for his father, and explained to Zhang Ruoxi calmly, Zhang Ruoxi nodded and said: "These people who tend to be inflammatory, cut off the best, my daughter is in Qingpu, since the Dong family was discredited last year, there are many households who want to come to the Lu family to take refuge, I let Lu Lang refuse, only contract employment, do not accept refuge, I also followed Xiao Yuan's advice, Dong's disaster is a lesson from the past." ”

After another conversation, Zhang Yuan said goodnight to his parents and went downstairs, Zhang Ruoxi chased to the staircase and said: "I have fallen asleep, let you accompany Wang Wei, hehe, it should be true, but you still have to test it again." ”

Zhang Yuan smiled and went down to the south building and the west building, and Yun Jin greeted him and said softly: "Uncle, the young lady is already asleep, let you go to Aunt Wei's side." ”

Zhang Yuan said: "I'll go in and take a look." ”

Yun Jin said: "That uncle should be light-hearted, don't wake up Miss." ”

Zhang Yuan said: "I know. Gently walked into the inner room, the copper bull lamp was dim, the red Luo gauze tent hung low, opened the corner of the gauze tent, only to see the abundant black hair piled on the pillow, white face, eyebrows, thin eyelashes, light red lips, he wanted to kiss it, just bent down, but the back belt was grabbed, looking back, it was the little maid Yunjin, and said softly: "Don't make a noise." ”

Shang Ran, who seemed to be asleep, suddenly smiled "poof", opened his eyes, his eyes were shining, how could he be half sleepy, but said coquettishly: "I'm asleep, but you come to quarrel with me." Looking at Zhang Yuan, his eyes were slightly condensed, and he asked, "Why is Zhang Lang so happy?" ”

Zhang Yuan's "uh" sound, they are all smart and meticulous women, don't let Ran think that he is happy because he can accompany Wang Wei, that's terrible, and said: "There is a great happy event-" He sat on the edge of the bed and told Fang Cai about the conversation with his father, and successfully solved this heart disease, he is really relaxed and happy now-

Shang Yanran smiled and said: "Zhang Lang is thoughtful, and it is really uncomfortable to have those people who are flattering and smiling in the house-okay, Zhang Lang go wash up, Wang Wei is in the wooden building in the back garden, she entered the door of Zhang's house for the first time today, don't snub her." ”

It was these last two sentences that made Zhang Yuan very moved, and looked at Shang Ran fixedly, this is the first woman who will charm people's hearts.

……

The lack of moon rose to the top of the building, the moonlight was cold, and there was a light in the stable of the white mule in the back garden, Zhang Yuan just approached, and the rabbit pavilion came out with a lantern, and when he saw Zhang Yuan, he smiled and said: "Young master, the snow spirit is asleep." He said, "Where is the young master, the maid will take care of you." The lantern shook in his hand.

Zhang Yuan said: "I'm in the small building by the river, the moonlight is very bright, and there are not a few steps, you should go back and rest quickly." ”

The rabbit pavilion said "oh", and went back to the inner courtyard with the lantern.

Zhang Yuan just walked under the two laurel trees, and heard the Western-style self-striking bell on the wooden floor ringing twelve times in a row, this bell was moved here by Shang Ran, saying that it would be shocking to ring in the middle of the night.

Zhang Yuan wondered, look at the position of the missing moon, it shouldn't be time yet, the drum of the third watch hasn't been beaten yet, why is it twelve o'clock?

Uncle Yao and Xue Tong lived downstairs, Xue Tong had fallen asleep, Uncle Yao heard footsteps and walked out of the room, calling "Zhang Xianggong", Zhang Yuan nodded and said, "Uncle Yao rest early." "Walk lightly upstairsβ€”

Wang Wei and Mu Zhenzhen were studying the Western self-striking bell in the study, and the little maid Huixiang was also on the side, and when they saw Zhang Yuan coming in, their eyes widened, and Zhang Yuan smiled: "Why are you looking at me like this?" ”

At this moment, he heard the drum beat of the third watch from the drum tower in the distance, Zhang Yuan looked at the self-striking bell and said: "It's only eleven o'clock now, but this bell is reported at twelve o'clock." ”

Mu Zhenzhen said: "Young master, the maid hasn't dialed it back for many days. ”

When this self-striking bell will be almost a quarter every day, when Mu Zhenzhen heard the bell ring at six o'clock every morning and got up to turn the clock back a quarter, Mu Zhenzhen went to Hangzhou with Zhang Yuan for almost two months, and this bell didn't know which day it would go first-

Zhang Yuan smiled and turned the clock to eleven o'clock, and asked with a smile: "Why don't you two sleep yet, wait for me?" ”

Wang Weijiao said: "Who is waiting for you, really waiting for you." ”

Mu Zhenzhen hurriedly said: "I'm so sleepy, Aunt Wei will wait for the young master to sleep." She flashed out of the study and went back to her little room.

Wang lowered his head slightly, cleaned up the books on the bookcase, and his face was crimson, like mutton fat and jade, smeared with a layer of rouge.

"Xiuwei," Zhang Yuan asked, "are you still used to it here?" ”

Wang Wei said in a low voice: "Very good, my wife rewarded me with a pair of silver jewelry, and I am now a member of the Zhang family." ”

Zhang Yuan said: "Of course, it has been for a long time. I flipped through the book, took out a letter, and handed it to Wang Wei-

Wang Wei saw that it was the letter she left in the Meihua Zen Garden to Zhang Yuan last time, and said shyly: "Xianggong still keeps this letter." ”

Zhang Yuan said: "How can you forget the plum blossom Zen night language." ”

The night is very quiet, the sound of the water outside the building is shallow, and there is an ethereal singing voice in the courtyard of Xizhang on the opposite bank, which should be raised in the celebration of the eldest brother Zhang Dai, Zhang Yuan said: "Our side is too deserted, Xiu Wei blows a song of the hole flute, and also makes the eldest brother Xizhang envious." "Zhang Yuan is really in good spirits tonight.

Wang Wei thought that Zhang Yuan had something else to say, and his beautiful eyes were full, as if he was about to drip water.
