Chapter 144: Bullying hurts
When Zhang Yuan and the Qingpu Society and the Fushui Mountain House Society were arguing on the Canglang Pavilion, Zhang Ruoxi and Mu Zhenzhen lingered among the peonies and begonias in the small garden of the Narcissus Temple.
Miss Zhang and Young Master Zhang Yuan are generally amiable, Mu Zhen is really happy, so he started from selling fruits in Dashan Temple and being chased by Lama to run, how did Young Master Zhang Yuan help her get out of danger, how did he find Sandai Street and let people arrest Lama Bluff, and paid Doctor Lu to cure her father's jaundice - Zhang Ruoxi knocked down a few Lama bluffs after hearing Mu Zhenzhen's three punches and two kicks, and said strangely: "You really know martial arts?" β
Mu Zhenzhen nodded shyly.
Zhang Ruoxi said: "No wonder Xiao Yuan will take you out, you know martial arts." Looking sideways at the snow-white cheeks and red lips of this fallen girl, the slightly blinking eyelashes glowing golden in the sun, strangely beautiful, Mu Zhenzhen is tall and tall, big feet and light feet, but this kind of timid shyness makes it difficult to imagine that she has martial arts to beat people - Zhang Ruoxi remembered something and asked in a low voice: "Zhenzhen, tell me, has Xiao Yuan bullied you?" β
Mu Zhenzhen hurriedly shook his head and said, "No, no, how can the young master bully the servant, the young master is very good and takes care of the servant." β
Zhang Ruoxi pursed her lips and smiled, Mu Zhenzhen didn't understand what she meant, and she didn't want to ask directly, so she joked: "It must be because you know martial arts, Xiao Yuan didn't dare to bully you, otherwise he would have bullied." β
Mu Zhenzhen smiled at first: "How come, the young master won't bully the servant, if the servant does something wrong, the young master should be punished-," just as he was saying this, but somehow suddenly thought that if the young master also gave her a white eye like those bluffs and insulted her and bullied her, then what would she do?
Thinking about it like this, her heart is like a knife, she won't be sad if others bully her, if even the young master bullies her, then she feels that everything in front of her has lost its color, and her heart hurts so much that she wants to convulse, Mu Zhenzhen rarely sheds tears, but at this time, tears burst out of her eyes-"Ah." Zhang Ruoxi panicked, and hurriedly comforted: "Don't cry, don't cry, don't cry, Xiao Yuan still bullied you, right, I bullied you, alas, this person, I thought he had become well-behaved, why are you still so reckless-"
Mu Zhenzhen laughed again, thinking about how unreasonable she was, where did the young master bully her, causing the eldest lady to misunderstand, maybe she would blame the young master later, and hurriedly said: "Eldest miss, the young master didn't bully the little maid, really not." β
Zhang Ruoxi was puzzled and asked, "I didn't bully you, so why are you crying?" β
Mu Zhen was really embarrassed and said: "The maid remembered that the young master was good to the maid, and he was so moved that he cried." β
I don't know why, Zhang Ruoxi blushed when Mu Zhenzhen said it, and changed the topic and said: "Let's go to the pavilion to see what they say, it seems that they are reading Bagu, oh, it's not the people from Qingpu Club who are reading, it's Suzhou people, dragging Suzhou accents." β
The two of them walked to the side of the Canglang Pavilion to take a look, the pavilion was a person from the two societies, and the servants brought by the Fushui Mountain House Society were sitting or standing outside the pavilion, seeing her two approaching, more than a dozen pairs of eyes "brushed" and gathered over, Mu Zhenzhen didn't care, but Zhang Ruoxi in men's clothing couldn't bear to be stared at like this, for fear of revealing flaws, so he said softly: "Zhenzhen, let's go to the shrine first to worship the Taihu Lake daffodils, and then come later." β
Narcissus temple hall number of Ying, the main hall of the Taihu Lake narcissus is a woman, the treasure is solemn, but there is a charming appearance, Zhang Ruoxi and Mu Zhenzhen worshipped, after turning to the throne, but there are young women, young girls sit behind to rest, a few little maids, servants accompanied by the side, this is Yang Shixiang's daughter, Yang Shixiang told the temple wishes, today said that in addition to the people who participated in the meeting, do not let anyone else in, so let his wife and daughter follow him to visit the Narcissus Temple, followed by more than ten servants - Zhang Ruoxi saw that there were young women and young women here, Forgetting that he was pretending to be a man, he stepped forward and asked with a smile: "Are you here to visit the garden, the peony is blooming just right, and the begonia is half withered-"
When approaching the young woman, her little feet were not stable, and on the side of her body, her hand naturally pressed on the young woman's shoulder to stabilize her body, and the young woman and the maidservant behind her were so frightened that they screamed, and a stout servant woman said angrily: "Where did you come from, dare to tease my young grandmother." Rushed over and punched at Zhang Ruoxi - Mu Zhenzhen's eyes were quick, he grabbed Zhang Ruoxi with one hand, and blocked the punch from the servant woman with the other, and the servant woman used too much force, staggered out a few steps, and almost fell.
The young woman and the young girl both stood up and glared at Zhang Ruoxi, and a servant girl shouted, "The maidservant is going to call someoneβ" The male servant of the Yang family was outside the hall.
Zhang Ruoxi saw that it was not good, and the matter was going to be big, so she quickly took off the scarf crown and said: "Misunderstanding, misunderstanding, I am also a woman." β
Zhang Ruoxi said that he was combing the man's hair in a bun, which was difficult to win the trust of others, so he hurriedly supported Mu Zhenzhen with one hand, stilted his feet, took off his butterfly shoes, and revealed his small bow shoes - the young woman and those maids and servants were stunned, and the young woman turned her anger into joy and asked, "Who are you?" While ordering the servant woman to show Zhang Ruoxi a seat, Zhang Ruoxi sat down and said: "I am Lu Sheng's wife, and my family name is Zhang." β
The young woman said: "My father-in-law's surname is Yang, and today I am saying that the lord is here for this meeting, and the father-in-law of the lady of the Lu family is also here to participate in the meeting." β
Zhang Ruoxi said: "Yes, and my younger brother is also in the Canglang Pavilion." β
The young woman's surname is Qin, and she was very happy to meet Zhang Ruoxi, and said with a smile: "The lady of the Lu family is bold and dares to pretend to be a man to travel, but I don't dare." β
Zhang Ruoxi put a finger to her lips and said, "Shhh, don't make a noise, if the old people in the family know, they will be scolded." β
The young woman Qin and her daughter both grinned, and the Qin family asked the servant woman to serve refreshments and invited Zhang Ruoxi to eat them, chattering and talking, very affectionate.
After sitting for a while, Zhang Ruoxi said: "Let's go and see how the Wenhui is, and the ladies of the Yang family will also go together." β
Qin shook his head with a smile and said: "I don't dare to go, my father-in-law will scold me when he sees it, and then go to see the peony when the Wenhui is dispersed, and the lady of the Lu family will come and go more in the future." β
Zhang Ruoxi and Mu Zhenzhen turned out of the shrine, Zhang Ruoxi laughed and said: "If it wasn't for Zhenzhen helping me block it, I would have almost been beaten as Meng Langdeng's disciple, this man is not so easy to pretend." β
Mu Zhenzhen smiled: "Don't be afraid, you can't hurt the eldest lady." β
β¦β¦ On the Canglang Pavilion, Fan Wenruo, the leader of the Fushui Mountain House Society, recited aloud the first art of his township "Great Fear of the People's Will", gasped twice, looked down on the people of the Qingpu Society, and stared at Zhang Yuan again, smiling contemptuously, but pretending to be modest: "This is an old work, not worth it, please appreciate it." He returned to Xitou and sat down, waiting for the other party to compliment.
Yang Shixiang was about to be praised, Zhang Yuan said: "Wait-" asked Fan Wenruo: "Fan Juren's craftsmanship has been printed in my Shaoxing Mansion?" β
Fan Wenruo said: "As far as I know, Shaoxing Mansion can't see my art, and this art has only been engraved in my Fushui Book House, and it has not been marketed abroad. β
Suzhou belongs to Nanzhili, Shaoxing is Zhejiang, Fan Wenruo participated in the township test in Nanjing, Shaoxing people participated in the township test to go to Hangzhou, Shaoxing bookstore rushed to publish and engrave the ink roll of the test and the Hangzhou township test, and would not engrave the ink roll of other provinces, because it could not be sold, each province has the style of the province, and the chief examiner of the township test should also consider the different styles of the provinces to take the scholar - Zhang Yuan said: "That's strange, why did I read this eight-strand essay in a collection of "Eight Hundred Questions of Keyitang Shiwen"? β
Fan Wenruo was puzzled: ""Eight Hundred Questions on Keyitang Shiwen, is there this book, why don't I know?" "If Fan Wen opened a bookstore, he must know what kind of big collection of Shiwen has been produced in the bookstore south of the river, and "Eight Hundred Questions of Shiwen" must be a tome of dozens of volumes, how could he not know, and the name of the bookstore in Keyitang is not familiar, maybe it is a small bookstore - but I heard Zhang Yuan say: "This 'Great Fear of the People's Chronicles' in the Anthology of Keyitang is recited by Fan Juren 'The Great Fear of the People's Chronicles' is much the same, but I think that the one in the Keyitang anthology is more subtle and cold, and the note at the end of the text says that it is the top three ink scrolls in the township test in a certain place during the Zhengde periodββ"
Fan Wenruo stood up "Teng", pointed at Zhang Yuan with a halberd, and said sharply: "Zhang Yuan, boy, if you don't hand over the "Eight Hundred Questions of Keyitang Shiwen" to testify, I will fork you to see the official, you are insulting my township to try the first art is plagiarism, and I swear not to stand with you." β
Lu Tao, Yang Shixiang and others were all shocked, falsely saying that the ink scroll was plagiarism, Zhang Yuan's disaster was too big, if he saw an official, Zhang Yuan would definitely be beaten by the board - Lu Tao took a few steps forward, and was about to slow down his cheeks and plead, but saw Zhang Yuan calmly said: "Why bother to see the official, if you see the official, won't this matter make a big fuss, and Yu Fan's reputation will be damaged-please save the elegance, don't be irritable for the time being, let me finish the words." β
Fan Wenruo was furious and said sharply: "You say, you say, if you don't show evidence, I will never give up with you." β
Zhang Yuan said: "Since I said that I have read this 'Great Fear of the People's Chronicles', of course I will come up with evidence, but I can't take out the book of "Eight Hundred Questions of Keyitang Shiwen" now, far away in Shanyin, and I read it a few years ago, I don't know where I lost it, don't worry, listen to me, there is no book, but I remember the art of making it clearly, and I can recite it on the spot." β
Fan Wenruo heard Zhang Yuan say this, his heart sank, and he sneered: "It is also possible that my art of making art is a township test ink paper, and it is also possible to spread to Shanyin, just because you have read it and remembered it by you, do you want to humiliate me with this clumsy trick today?" β
Zhang Yuan said unhurriedly: "I asked you earlier, you said that there will be no Shaoxing this art, and now you say that there is, okay, I don't fight with you for this, I only recite the art I remember, let you listen to what is the same and what is the difference with Fan Juren's article, how is it?" β
No one dared to speak.
Fan Wenruo stared at Zhang Yuan, nodded hatefully, and said: "Okay, great, let everyone listen to what your 'Great Fear of the People's Chronicles' is like, what kind of subtle and cold method it is, and see who plagiarized whom!" β
