On the sixth day of June, Feng Menglong and his brother Feng Menggui came to participate, Feng Menglong is proud of the spring breeze, Hou Huiqing had arrived in his house last night, the bustard mother Wang Liuma of the Liufang Pavilion was frightened, she heard that Hou Huiqing committed suicide by hanging the beam, and rushed to see Hou Huiqing fall to the ground, there was a broken silk hanging on the beam, a red mark on Hou Huiqing's neck, there was no snort at first, it was Feng Menglong who arrived, and he was lip crossing, and he rubbed his chest and rocked his arms, so he saved a life, and then invited the doctor to diagnose and treat Hou Huiqing, The doctor said that the neck bone was broken when the hanging beam was broken, and he was afraid that he would be paralyzed in the future, Feng Menglong did not give up, and was still willing to redeem Hou Huiqing and take him back to the house to recuperate, that Wang Liu's mother was a woman after all, and she was so panicked that she had no idea, seeing that Feng Menglong was willing to pay eight hundred taels of silver, she immediately wrote a marriage letter, signed and handed it to Feng Menglong, packed up some of Hou Huiqing's common utensils, and sent Hou Huiqing to Feng Menglong's house that night - in the Lotus Wind Pavilion in the Humble Administrator's Garden, Zhang Cao saw Feng Menglong, and asked with a low smile: "Brother Ziyu, was you happy last night?" ”

Feng Menglong said hesitantly: "Thank you Xian Kunzhong for your clever plan, and I feel five guilty." ”

Yesterday, Feng Menglong really thought that Hou Huiqing had injured her neck bone by hanging the beam, but she didn't expect to carry Hou Huiqing back to the house, Hou Huiqing got off the sedan chair by herself, bowed to the ground, felt Feng Lang's kindness, shed tears of joy, and said that she and Feng Menglong composed mountain songs and sang Wu songs together, and moved by Tang Xianzu's "Peony Pavilion" inscription "I don't know what to do, go deep, the living can die, and the dead can live". It's rare to have a lover", Hou Huiqing felt that she was the luckiest woman in the world, and her gentleness towards Feng Menglong at night was really not enough for outsiders - Zong Yishan said to Zhang Yuan: "Brother Jiezi, that Hui Shang folded 1,600 taels of silver for nothing, I'm afraid that he won't give up." ”

Zhang Yuan said: "There are four hundred taels in Wang Liuma's place, if Wang Liuma's greed for money is not afraid of trouble, then leave the silver, if you are afraid, then return it, this is Wang Liuma's business, we can't take care of it, as for the other 1,160 taels of silver, instead of returning it to the Hui merchant, it is better to use it to do good, that is the money we found, donate it to the Changzhou Nursing Home, the Hui merchant can't catch us any handle, and now the matter of the Liufang Pavilion has spread, the Hui merchant relied on the money to break up the lover, almost forced to die, The people of Suzhou City hate this kind of person bitterly, I expect that Zhu Chaofeng can only suffer this dumb loss, how dare he show his face in Suzhou——"

Zhang Dai said: "It's cheaper than the officials of the Changzhou Nursing Home, and it is indispensable to be greedy for ink and deductions." ”

——Hongwu five years, Zhu Yuanzhang edict to all counties and counties across the country to set up nursing homes, the adoption of orphans, poor and disabled helpless, Suzhou Mansion has two nursing homes, one in Wu County, the other is in the northwest of the Changzhou Drum Tower, yesterday evening, Zhang Yuan brothers accompanied by Fan Wenruo, donated 1,160 taels of silver to the Changzhou Nursing Home, the little officials who manage the nursing home are surprised and delighted, the little officials do not recognize these three young talents, but Fan Wenruo Fan Xiaolian who accompanied the three people He recognized, is the head of the county, Jinshi have gone to be officials, In the local area, it is natural to lift people, Fan Wenruo told the little official to buy relief rice and cloth to distribute to the poor people, to make the accounts clear, at the end of the year he will accompany the three donors to come to review, the little official is the only one - Zhang Yuan smiled and said: "Corruption and deduction are indispensable, as long as half of the donated silver falls on the heads of the poor people, it is good, this is Suzhou, not my Shaoxingyang and Yicang." ”

…… Because of the hasty preparations, there are only more than 60 people who participated in the Humble Administrator's Garden Gathering, including 33 students from Jiading County and Kunshan County and Tong Sheng who participated in the Yu Garden assembly in Shanghai ten days ago, because they knew that Zhang Yuan would go to Nanjing via Suzhou, these 33 people rushed to Suzhou Mansion City a few days earlier to wait, Fan Wenruo spread out that the Humble Administrator's Garden held an elegant gathering on the sixth day of the first month of June, these students and children came, and listened to Zhang Yuan's discussion of the eight shares in the Yu Garden last time, and the aftertaste was said to have benefited a lot, but Zhang Yuan did not rise to the seat to speak, only to circulate between the living beings, and socialize and entertain - Most of the people who came to participate in the Yaji were Mu Zhangyuan's small three yuan reputation of the students and children, there was only one person except Fan Wenruo, the surname Wen Meng, the word Wen, is the great-grandson of the great painter Wen Zhengming of Wumen, Fan Wenruo introduced this Wen Zhen Meng to Zhang Yuan, Zhang Yuan said happily: "Wen Xiaolian, long admiration, long admiration——"

Wen Zhenmeng is in his thirties, tall, eye-catching, quite arrogant, does not like polite words, and when he saw Zhang Yuan's vulgar words, he teased: "What is Zhang Gongzi who has been looking up to Wen for a long time? ”

Zhang Yuan said with a smile: "Wen Xiaolian has a family history, loves "Chu Ci", specializes in "Spring and Autumn", calligraphy is the two kings of the Eastern Jin Dynasty, and the painting skills are chasing the four families at the end of the Yuan Dynasty. ”

Wen Zhenmeng was quite surprised, he said that he came to the Humble Administrator's Garden on a whim, and wanted to see what kind of character this fallen Dong Zhang Jiezi was, Fan Wenruo didn't know that he was coming in advance, he thought that Zhang Yuan's Jiu Yang was just a casual and perfunctory polite remark, but Zhang Yuan really knew him, although he was a little famous in Changzhou, but he would try to fall six times in a row, and the reputation of the young talent gradually faded into obscurity, at this time, he heard Zhang Yuan praise him, but he smiled bitterly and laughed at himself: "Zhang Gongzi knows everything about it, but there is still one thing to say, in the next seven times to go to Beijing to try, Seven times down, this thing is also famous, Suzhou children's songs sang, 'Wenwen Qi, seven down, go to Beijing to catch the exam, return sleeves to cover faces. 'Singing is below.' ”

Zhang Yuanxin said: "Is it the seventh time, then I have to take the test three more times." ”

Zhang Yuan is familiar with the history of the late Ming Dynasty, this Wen Zhenmeng is a famous upright Geng Jie during the Apocalypse and Chongzhen years, the surname is a little similar to Mr. Liu Zongzhou, and he is also a famous figure in the Donglin Party, impeached Wei Zhongxian during the Apocalypse, was dismissed by the court staff, Chongzhen was reinstated, and when he was appointed as a court lecturer, Chongzhen once crossed Erlang's legs when he listened to the lecture, this Wen Zhenmeng kept his mouth shut and stared at Emperor Chongzhen's feet, which made Emperor Chongzhen very embarrassed, covered his knees with his sleeves, and then slowly lowered his legs, so that Zhang Yuan was deeply impressed by Wen Zhenmeng There is another reason, That is, Wen Zhenmeng is the champion of the Renxu Branch in the second year of the Apocalypse, the second year of the Apocalypse is 1622 AD, and now it is 1614, Wen Zhenmeng has to go through the torture of falling into the first place twice - Zhang Yuan said: "Wen Xiaolian is a great talent, temporarily trapped in the science field, and sooner or later he will be famous in the world." ”

Fan Wenruo said: "Today's elegant collection, you can't argue without papers, Brother Wen and Zhang Gongzi are both governing "Spring and Autumn", today it is said that "Spring and Autumn" is about to talk about "Spring and Autumn" on this lotus wind pavilion?" ”

Wen Zhenmeng has a good impression of Zhang Yuan, and no matter how upright a person is, he is willing to listen to people's good words, and said: "I was about to ask Zhang Gongzi for advice." ”

Zhang Yuan said to Feng Menglong: "Brother Ziyu also governs "Spring and Autumn", let's debate together." ”

Lotus wind four-sided pavilion single eaves hexagonal, four sides transparent, pavilion in the middle of the water, sit on the pavilion, see the lotus leaf pavilion in the pool, lotus blossoms, willow branches on the shore, there are hugging the pillar couplet: "four walls of lotus flowers on three sides of willows, half of the pond autumn water a room mountain" - Zhang Yuan and Wen Zhenmeng, Feng Menglong sat on the pavilion in the Wan seat, nearly 100 people around the pavilion to listen to the "Spring and Autumn", "Spring and Autumn" in the Ming Dynasty was very high, Zhu Yuanzhang took the "Spring and Autumn" as the head of the group of scriptures, that Confucius made "Spring and Autumn", the Ming Dynasty three outlines, the nine laws, for the hundred kings to standardize, self-cultivation and political preparation in it, And when the palace tries to take the champion, it is often biased to be the Jinshi of the "Spring and Autumn", Jiao Hong and Wen Zhenmeng's scriptures are "Spring and Autumn", although so, but the "Spring and Autumn" is difficult, and all the beings are still willing to govern the other four classics, after all, there is only one champion in three years, and they dare not be delusional - Feng Menglong is the author of "Lin Jing Pointing to the Moon", Wen Zhenmeng is a weak crown lifter, the two of them can be said to have no books and no books to read the classics about the "Spring and Autumn", and Zhang Yuanying has learned from Huang Ruheng and Jiao Hong, the two great Confucians, and has their own unique ideas, and the three of them debated from shallow to deep. From the Spring and Autumn Period to the three transmissions, the witty words continue, and the listener holds his breath - Feng and Wen's knowledge is not under Zhang Yuan, on the well-read, Zhang Yuan can not compare with the two of them, but Zhang Yuansheng is clearly organized, he is on the "Spring and Autumn" from the Qin and Han dynasties to the Yuan and Ming dynasties to tell the development of the context, "Spring and Autumn" is both a scripture and history, to the Wei, Jin, Southern and Northern Dynasties, the history is divided, the Tang Dynasty Liu Zhiji marked the "Zuo Chuan" is a model of history, and Liu Xian's "Wenxin Carving Dragon" is a classic, since the end of the Song Dynasty, the history of the confluence again, this is the "Spring and Autumn" learning, In the late Ming Dynasty, it was even more obvious, even the eight strands of literature and sketches were transformed, how could "Spring and Autumn" be exempt...... Not only Feng Menglong, Wen Zhenmeng was greatly inspired, all the students who listened to the lecture in the Lotus Wind Four Pavilions had a sense of openness, Zhang Yuan's lecture on "Spring and Autumn" from the origin to the development of the diversion, the context is clear, well-organized, giving people a sense of climbing high and looking far away, at a glance, and Feng Menglong, Wen Zhenmeng read a lot, but lack of Zhang Yuan's systematic understanding, this is Zhang Yuan's advantage, including the advanced learning theory of later generations - the sunset, the shadows are scattered, although the Humble Administrator's Garden is only a short day, but it is very impressive to the scholars of Suzhou, All the students at the meeting asked to join the Han Society, Zhang reasoned that he could not delay much in Suzhou, so he asked Fan Wenruo, Wen Zhenmeng and Feng Menglong to be responsible for the preparation of the Suzhou branch of the Han Society, Fan Wenruo is the head of the Suzhou branch of the Han Society, Wen Zhenmeng and Feng Menglong are the vice presidents of the Han Society, the first article of the three rules of the Han Society has been slightly modified, and there is no age limit, because Wen Zhenmeng and Feng Menglong are over 35 years old, and the rules can be more flexible now, after all, they are only temporary, and the official regulations will be discussed and decided when the first meeting of the Han Society will be held in Shanyin in March next year, Zhang Yuan felt that he had gained a lot, Hanshe opened up the situation in Suzhou, he became friends with Feng Menglong and Wen Zhenmeng, Feng and Wen were more than twice as old as Zhang Yuan, but they only dared to talk to Zhang Yuan's peers, Zhang Yuan's steady treatment of people and things, and the depth of knowledge, no one dared to despise him because of his youth - in the afternoon of the seventh day of June, Zhang Yuan and his entourage left Suzhou, first to take a boat through the Grand Canal to Danyang, because the Grand Canal turned north to Zhenjiang in Changzhou, Zhang Yuan and others will take a boat in Danyang to enter the Jurong River to the west, A few years ago, Ding Shangshu of the Nanjing Ministry of Industry widened and dug the Jurong River, which is connected with the Qinhuai River, and the waterway transportation is convenient.

Feng Menglong has been sending the three Zhang Yuan brothers to Changzhou with the ship, two on the boat, Feng Menglong and Zhang Yuanchang talk about the book, mountain songs, opera, it is extremely speculative, Feng Menglong promised to write ten volumes of fiction before the end of the year to hand over to the Hanshe Book Company for printing, each volume is about 10,000 words, is expected to write 40 volumes, named "Warning World Words", although the completed "Ancient and Modern Novels" 40 volumes have been published and printed by the Green Sky Pavilion Bookstore, but the Ming Dynasty has no copyright law, the Green Sky Pavilion can be printed, other bookstores can also be printed, Zhang Yuan will change the name of "Ancient and Modern Novels" to " Yu Shi Mingyan" re-engraved and published - "Yu Shi Mingyan", "Warning World Words" is there, "Xingshi Hengyan" will be far away, the most famous fiction novel "Three Words" in the Ming Dynasty will come out in advance, Feng Menglong has no idea for a while, what does it matter, Zhang Yuan will write a letter to remind him that Zhang Yuan is familiar with the "Three Words", although he can't recite it, but the synopsis of the story is known, what "the oil seller monopolizes the Oiran", "Du Shi Niang sinks a hundred treasure chests", Feng Menglong only needs to deduce according to this outline, and it doesn't hurt to irrigate properly - if you ask what is irrigation? Describe the appearance of the characters or Wushan**, and come to a large section of poetry, that is, irrigation.
