Chapter 308: A Woman's Heart

Perch Pavilion under the pond of water, Pingshan Linbo, quiet and deep, the side separated by the fence is the plum blossom Zen, to the right there is a small curved bridge and Xia Shuangxuan connected, sit on the pavilion, listen to the birds and birds on the Xiaomei Mountain chirping, and the sound of the light flow of the stone spring, very quiet, very quiet - the red has not yet risen, the garden air is fresh, the girl Wang Wei is not combed, the soft long hair is draped over the shoulders, the white hand is holding a green bamboo fishing rod, the fishing rod is on the railing of the pavilion, the rod tip stretches out of the pavilion, and the silk thread hangs down into the water - the girl picks frangipani flowers by the fence, Knead the petals into a small yellow flower ball, this is the bait, but the fish in the pond obviously have no interest in this bait, at first the silk line will tremble a few times, that is the fish touching the bait, and you can see the ripples on the water surface, that is the fish turning around at the bottom of the water, and then the silk thread does not move, only for the wind to move - two white-feathered red-nosed ducklings with a group of yellow feathers have not yet faded from the Xiaoqu Bridge to swim down, to the perch pavilion around half a circle, the big duck and the duckling neatly tilted the duck's neck to look at the girl on the pavilion, and then turned around, Swim in the direction of the garden gate with ripples of water - "This is the duck raised by Gardener Xie." ”

The girl Wang sat on the edge of the pavilion slightly, her beautiful eyes were misty, her mind did not belong, and the fishing rod in her hand did not move for a long timeβ€”β€”...... "Ask the girl what she thinks-"

A voice suddenly sounded in his ears, Wang was slightly frightened, stood up with an "ah", and the fishing rod in his hand was about to poke over, and when he saw that it was Zhang Yuan, he retracted the fishing rod, shrugged his nose and pouted, and said coquettishly: "Why did you suddenly come and be scary!" As he spoke, he patted his chest, as if he was afraid of his heart beating out - Zhang Yuan smiled and looked at the delicate appearance of this girl's hand patting her breasts, and wanted to do it for her, this girl is still a man's Confucian shirt, with a slender waist, but her hair is draped, wisps, and extremely charming, Zhang Yuan said again: "What do you think about asking the girl?" Ask the woman what she remembers? ”

Wang Wei put the fishing rod on the edge of the pavilion, only then did she see Hui Xiang standing outside the pavilion and smiling at her, this girl saw that Jie Zi Xianggong came and didn't tell her, glared at Hui Xiang, looked at Zhang Yuan sideways, and said with a smile: "Women don't have anything to think, women don't have anything to remember, yesterday on Longshan, the head of the lion roared, so far I am scared, the six gods can't be the masterβ€”β€”"

Wang Wei recited poetry casually, her lips moved slightly, shy and charming, she was moving, she also knew that she was extremely moving, just to move - Zhang Yuan laughed: "Am I so hoarse." ”

Wang Weiwan said: "The roar of the lion in Longshan is enough, and the lion roar in Hedong is the most afraid." Naturally, there is a purpose in saying this.

Zhang Yuan smiled and said, "I haven't washed yet." Walked quickly to the edge of the east fence, folded a willow branch and chewed it in his mouth, squatted down and brushed his teeth by the stone spring - Wang Wei walked over, stood under the willow and watched Zhang Yuan rinse his mouth, wash his face, and rejoiced, this gargle and wash his face are all private things, this is the fresh and approachable Zhang Shetou, well, this is how it is to stay day and night - the morning breeze is blowing, the green silk is messy, Wang Wei bent his waist, his hands were tied behind his head to hold his long hair, and let the little maid Huixiang take the comb and bamboo hairpin, Wang Wei's fingers were dexterous, and they were soon coiled into a bun, simple and elegant, The neck is long and fair--Hui Xiang asked, "Do you want to take the turban?" ”

Wang Wei glanced at Zhang Yuan, Zhang Yuan's face was wet, and he was looking up at her, his eyes were burning, and he said, "No need, there are no outsiders." ”

Thirteen-year-old Hui Xiang pursed her lips and smiled, and went back to Plum Blossom Zen without disturbing her own girl and Zhang Xianggong.

Zhang Yuan stood up, threw half of the willow branch to the side of the fence, and said: "Today, I know that the ancients folded the willow to say goodbye because they thought the other party had bad breathβ€”β€”"

Wang Wei didn't expect Zhang Yuan to suddenly say such a sentence, and suddenly couldn't help laughing, laughing so much that he squatted on the ground, Zhang Yuan came over to help her up, and said, "Let's go to the pavilion and sit down, and continue fishing." ”

Wang smiled so softly that his body was a little soft, and after standing for a while, he asked Zhang Yuan to take her hand and go back to the Perch Pavilion, and sat on the bench next to the pavilion, his heart was a little "pounding", and asked, "Why did Xianggong Jie come here early in the morning?" ”

Zhang Yuan said: "Last night, I accompanied the old gentlemen to talk in the palace, and I rested in the house, and I woke up in the morning to come and see you." ”

Wang Weiyan smiled and said, "You're busy." Looking forward to the garden, he asked: "This garden is really a fairyland, to be honest, I don't want to leave if I live, but unfortunately it is not the garden of the prince." ”

Zhang Yuan said: "I'm a poor scholarβ€”"

Wang Wei said in a low voice: "I can accompany you to eat porridge, just don't starve to death." ”

Zhang Yuan shook her hand tightly, and asked with a smile: "Niu Yi is crying, can you also calluse your hands and feet?" ”

Wang Wei hesitated for a moment, Niu Yi, this one is too dirty, calloused hands and feet, this one is too bitter - Zhang Yuan smiled: "No need to answer, just joking with you, I didn't let you and me suffer-"

Wang Wei said angrily: "Niu Yi callus, you can do it, let me be alone Niu Yi callus, that's not good." ”

Zhang Yuan laughed, but he was thinking in his heart: "Some infatuated men and women like to imagine some extreme states to test their emotions, because this will cause disputes, which is really the most boring and stupid." ”

Wang Wei's hands were really soft, Zhang Yuan kneaded them and couldn't put them down, and asked, "Xiuwei went to Longshan yesterday?" ”

Wang Wei looked at Zhang Yuan's eyes and said, "I saw Jie Zi Xianggong, but Jie Zi Xianggong didn't see me - Jie Zi Xianggong knows where I was at that time?" ”

Zhang Yuan smiled: "Sure enough, it's you, I went down the mountain later, and I heard that Senior Sister Yingzi said that a beautiful female scholar asked her name, and said that her surname was Wang, so I guessed that it might be you, very coincidental." ”

Wang Wei was a little stunned, she was thinking about how to ask Zhang Yuan about this, Zhang Yuan herself said it calmly, now she didn't know what to say, hesitated, and asked: "I don't know who that infant sister is?" ”

Zhang Yuan said: "It is the daughter of my teacher, Mr. Chen'an, I studied in Teacher Wang's house for several months, and I have known it since I was a child. "Fifteen-year-old underage, can be regarded as a child-Wang Wei "oh" sounded, and his heart was as I expected, and asked: "Has that Miss Yingzi ever been married?" ”

Zhang Yuan sighed in his heart: "They are all sensitive women." He replied, "I have never been married." ”

Wang Wei said "oh" again, as if he understood everything, he was silent, pulled his hand out of Zhang Yuan's palm, picked up the fishing rod again, put the hanging flower ball into the water, and asked sideways: "What should I do about the minister-in-law?" ”

Zhang Yuan knew what Wang Wei was asking, and after a little hesitation, he told him that he had gone to the meeting to propose to Shang Ran and came back, but the Hou Zhixian of Shanyin summoned him to the house that night to be a matchmaker for Teacher Wang's daughter, Wang Wei said keenly: "In this way, that Miss Yingzi refuses to marry someone else?" ”

Zhang Yuan frowned, it was difficult to answer.

Wang Weiqiang said with a smile: "The tall prince thinks of a clever plan, marry it, Miss Yingzi is talented, yesterday I heard her recite the poem 'Peach Blossom in the Rain', Xiuwei is ashamed of herself-" Suddenly put down the fishing rod and got up and said: "Jie Zi Xianggong, I want to go back to Jinling tomorrowβ€”β€”"

Zhang Yuan then stood up, stunned, this woman's heart is more fickle than the face of a politician, and suddenly there is such a sentence!

Wang Wei looked at Zhang Yuan like this, and her heart softened again, this is the man she loves, and he is also very good to her, she just said that the temptation is even more meaningful, she wants Zhang Yuan to care about her more, the white teeth bit her fresh lips, her tone softened, and she turned around and said: "Jie Zi Xianggong, although the garden is good, it is not a place to live for a long time." ”

Zhang Yuan held his hand and said, "Xiuwei, live first, okay?" ”

Wang Weixiu frowned and said, "Someone is coming." ”

Zhang Yuan also heard a faint smile coming from the gate of the garden, listened attentively, and said, "It's my third brother Zhang Yanke, and there are a few other people." ”

After all, it was a girl in the song, Wang Wei didn't panic, and asked Zhang Yuan: "Then I'll avoid it." ”

Zhang Yuan said: "No, you just have to fish here, I'll go tell the third brother." Gently let go of Wang Wei's hand, turned around and went down to the pavilion - Wang Wei was a little apprehensive in his heart, and called at Zhang Yuan's back: "Jie Zi Xianggong-"

Zhang Yuan turned his head and smiled and asked, "What's the matter?" ”

Wang Wei shook his head again and said, "It's okay." ”

Zhang Yuan walked back to the pavilion, Wang Wei thought that Zhang Yuan had something to say, so he took two steps forward, and was about to ask, Zhang Yuan suddenly stepped forward and stretched out his arms to wrap his arms around her waist, hugged her hard, and then kissed her delicate lips, and his voice was low or a little fierce: "You are mine, don't want to run." After that, he let go of her, took a step back, stretched out his right index finger and gently touched the middle part of the girl's upper lip with a slight concave, the tentacle was delicate and delicate, the girl's upper lip was particularly lovely, crystal like jade, and finely carved - Wang Wei was stunned, his face was red, and Zhang Yuan had turned around and went down the pavilion and went in the direction of the garden gate.

Wang Wei sat on the bench next to the pavilion, a little stupid, and also stretched out his right index finger to touch his philtrum, thinking that Zhang Yuan had some domineering words, but he was indescribably happyβ€”β€”...... Zhang Cao accompanied his three friends who were also Nasu prisoners in Nanjing Guozijian to visit the garden, talking and laughing loudly, walking to the corridor, suddenly saw Zhang Yuan walking out, and said strangely: "Hey, Jiezi, why are you here, aren't you in the mansion?" "Suddenly woke up, the night before yesterday Zhang Yuan said that he wanted to bring Wang Wei to live in the garden, yesterday was busy, and he drank too much wine during the night banquet, he forgot about it, and said busily: "That king-"

Zhang Yuan interrupted: "I came from the government early in the morning. Greeted the three prisoners, and then dragged Zhang Cao aside, and before he could speak, Zhang Cao squeezed his eyebrows and said: "Jiezi, ** a moment is worth a thousand gold, sorry sorry, stupid brother bothered." ”

Zhang Yuan said "hey" and said: "What nonsense is the third brother, you ask Uncle Xie to go, if I came early in the morning." ”

Zhang Cao said: "I'm too lazy to ask, I just think that you are here to play with Wang Xiuwei all night Yinle, hehe, you can't wash it when you jump into the Yellow River, tell me, how many times a night?" ”

Zhang Yuan was speechless.

Zhang Cao shook his head and said: "Jiezi, Jiezi, people say that I Zhang Yanke is a big gentleman, acting absurdly, but you are more ridiculous than me, you are going to get married next month, this month is still in the scoop record, uh, you can't say scoop remember, too vulgar, looking for flowers and asking willows, this is always okay." ”

Zhang Yuan was almost annoyed and angry, is it a good character to speak bluntly, by no means, and said: "I'm too lazy to talk to you, third brother, don't go around talking about me." ”

Unexpectedly, Zhang Cao said: "I don't need to say, the matter between you and Wang Xiuwei is already known to everyone. ”

Zhang Yuan was taken aback and hurriedly asked why?

Zhang Cao said: "Gui'an Mao Zhisheng said, yesterday at noon Fuxue Palace banquet Han Society colleagues, you are not there, Mao Zhisheng Yangzhou thin horse Jinling famous Wang Xiuwei rushed all the way here to meet your matter in public, attracting a wave of admiration, all said that it is a real celebrity since the merry, a few Nanjing students have seen Wang Xiuwei, praised Wang Xiuwei's beauty, some young and lustful people here are envious, drooling - you say, who else doesn't know about you and Wang Xiuwei? Maybe the fifth uncle and the eldest father don't know yet, but they will know soonβ€”I said Jiezi, what do you have to worry about, just take a concubine. ”

Zhang Cao didn't care, but Zhang Yuan was bitter in his heart, no wonder those members of the Han Society smiled so well when they saw him last evening, he thought that he was deeply loved by the members, but it turned out that there was such a play in it, although this matter really couldn't be hidden, he didn't plan to hide it, because sooner or later he was going to welcome Xiuwei into the door, but at this time, everyone knew what his father and mother would think - this Mao Zhisheng was simply resentful and deliberately made trouble - Zhang Cao comforted: "Jiezi, seriously, This is not a scandalous thing, but a good name, you must know that the saint is actually afraid of everyone, at least to stay away, you roar on the Dragon Mountain, 'cold wind and blood wash the world' is very saint-like, fortunately, with Wang Xiuwei's matter, I can see that all beings are truly respectful to you. ”

Zhang Yuan smiled: "Don't say it, the third brother will accompany his friends to visit the garden, Wang Xiuwei is fishing in the Perch Pavilion, temporarily staying in Plum Blossom Zen, I'll go and talk to her, I'm going back." When he turned around and was about to walk, Zhang Cao took his hand and whispered: "Jiezi, you really didn't sleep with Wang Wei last night?" ”

Zhang Yuan shook off his hand: "Ask Uncle Xie to go." "Arch your hand to the three prisoners, strode to the Perch Pavilion, the pavilion is empty, only the green bamboo fishing rod is still resting on the edge of the pavilion railing, look around, the little maid Huixiang appeared on the side of the fence and beckoned to him - Zhang Yuan entered the plum blossom Zen from the back door, Huixiang closed the door, Wang Wei has put on a jade scarf, saw Zhang Yuan, and said slightly shyly: "Shaoxing flower white rice porridge is cooked, can the prince of Jie Zi deign to eat a bowl?" ”

Zhang Yuan smiled: "Do you really eat porridge?" He sat down at the table, looked at Wang Wei with a smile, and motioned for Wang Wei to sit down.

Wang Wei sat down on the side, this is exquisite, this is the basic etiquette of her Yangzhou thin horse, and Zhang Yuan should be his wife who sits opposite to eat, Wang Wei was thirteen years old with Ma Xianglan after leaving Yangzhou, his mind gradually opened, advocating freedom and unwilling to be restrained, but those habits developed since childhood still unconsciously affected her - Uncle Yao first put on four kinds of Jinling side dishes with porridge, pickled cauliflower, sauce bean paste, tofu, longevity vegetables, very exquisite, and then put on two bowls of Shaoxing flower white rice porridge, and said: "The rice sent by Zhang Xianggong is good, and Weigu likes to eat it." ”

Wang blushed slightly on his cheeks and said: "Shaoxing flower white rice is already well-known in the south of the Yangtze River. ”

Zhang Yuan drank porridge and ate vegetables, his appetite was very good, he ate three bowls of porridge, and said with a smile: "I'm sorry, I ate all Xue Tong's porridge." ”

Uncle Yao said with a smile: "Xue Tong has never liked to drink porridge, so Wuling took him to buy dim sum to eat." ”

Zhang Yuan sat for a while, didn't hear Zhang Cao knock on the door, and said in his heart: "The third brother still knows the etiquette, Xiuwei is not a girl in the song now." He got up and said, "I'll go back first, what do you need, I'll have someone send it to you?" ”

Wang Wei said: "Yesterday Laifu sent a lot of things, I also want some rice paper, preferably Chen Qing's, can paint, and, I heard Mei Gong say that Su Weng has a collection of tens of thousands of books, I wonder if Jie Zi Xianggong can borrow some poetry collections for me to read?" ”

Zhang Yuan agreed one by one, and was about to go out, Wu Ling and Xue Tong came back, and Wu Ling said: "Young master, I saw that the third son of Xi Zhang had just left the garden gate with a few people. ”

Zhang Yuan said "um", said goodbye to Wang Wei, and took Wuling Jing back to Dongzhang Mansion, and the house was also having breakfast, Zhang Yuan entered the inner house to greet his parents, and his sister Zhang Ruoxi stopped him first, stood next to a pot of mountain orchids by the patio, and asked: "Xiao Yuan, what is the matter with Wang Wei, the name of Jinling?" ”

Zhang Yuanxin said: "The elder sister is really well-informed, it was my brother-in-law who leaked the secret." said: "My sister will wait for me in the study room of the west building first, and I will come down to report to my sister." ”

Zhang Ruoxi raised two willow eyebrows: "You are still very calm-"

Before she finished speaking, Zhang Yuan had already walked up to the south building quickly, so he had to go to the study of the west building to wait, and saw Mu Zhenzhen writing big characters in the room, and at this time he had already put down his pen and got up, so he asked: "Zhenzhen, do you know about Wang Wei?" ”

Mu Zhenzhen had already heard what the young master and the eldest lady were saying by the patio in the study, and was worried, when the eldest lady really came in to ask her, her face flushed, she didn't say a word, and she was very uneasy - Zhang Ruoxi saw Mu Zhenzhen's anxious appearance, she laughed and said, "Okay, don't worry, I won't embarrass you, wait for me to interrogate Xiao Yuan, and he will definitely recruit him." ”

Mu Zhenzhen just breathed a sigh of relief, but heard the eldest lady say again: "Zhenzhen, you are also Xiaoyuan's person now, and you have to take care of him, how can he be so nonsense!" ”

Mu Zhenzhen's face turned red again, and said, "Miss, young master, he didn't come nonsense, he didn't do anything wrong, really." ”

Zhang Ruoxi said: "Whether it's true or not, I'll ask him later." ”

Zhang Yuan came soon, grinned, and asked, "Where did the two little guys go?" ”

Zhang Ruoxi said: "Don't talk about him left and right, say, what's going on with Wang Wei, where is it now?" "This younger brother has been in her care since she was a child-Before Zhang Yuan could speak, Rabbit Pavilion poked his head out of the door and said: "Young master, Sister Lianxia of Xizhang said that the eldest master of the North Courtyard asked the young master to ask questions. ”

Xiao Shi ran in and said, "Young Master, Young Master Zong asked when you will go to the Mansion to talk to all the beings." ”

Although the Longshan Society is over, most of the members of the Han Society have not yet left Shanyin, and yesterday it was agreed that a three-day literary meeting would be held in Shaoxing Fuxue, discussing the eight articles and the affairs of the government and the opposition - Zhang Yuan said to Xiaoshi: "Tell Young Master Zong, saying that I will rush there before the first moment." "It's only three o'clock in the morning.

Xiaoshi said yes and went back.

Zhang Ruoxi said angrily: "Sheshou Zhang, you are very busy." ”

Zhang Yuan smiled and said: "No way, Brother Ling is talented, those who can work hard." He said to Mu Zhenzhen: "Zhenzhen, you tell my sister about Wang Wei on my behalf, just say it." "Let's go out and go to Zhang Rulin, the ancestor of the Dongzhang clan.

Zhang Ruoxi smiled and said to Mu Zhenzhen: "Really why do you say that Zhang Yuan is getting more and more lazy?" ”

Mu Zhenzhen pursed his lips and smiled, under Zhang Ruoxi's interrogation, Mu Zhenzhen roughly said Zhang Yuan's interaction with Wang Wei, Zhang Ruoxi said: "Ah, there are so many twists and turns, it's like a legend in the book - then Wang Weizhen is so beautiful, how is it better than you, really?" ”

Mu Zhenzhen was really busy and said: "How can a servant be compared!" ”

Zhang Ruoxi said: "Is Wang Wei in the garden, I'll go and see, really accompany me." ”

Mu Zhenzhen showed nervousness and embarrassment again, Zhang Ruoxi smiled: "Don't worry, Wang Wei is not my Lu Lang's outer room, I won't do anything to her." ”
