Chapter 229: Defeat First
Zhang Yuan leaned against the wall of the bath bucket, his body was immersed in warm water, his hands were on the edge of the bath bucket, he tilted his head back, and sighed comfortably, the water in the bucket was hot, and a layer of fine sweat was soaked on his forehead, and he was drenched in the rain for a long time.
Behind him, Mu Zhenzhen moved a round stool, there was a wooden basin on the round bench, there was clean hot water in the basin, Mu Zhenzhen grabbed a handful of fine locust flowers and rubbed them in the young master's hair, stretched out his hand to scrub it, washing his hair with the crushed locust flowers can clean and remove dandruff, and there is a refreshing fragrance - Zhang Yuan looked up at Mu Zhenzhen, in his eyes Mu Zhenzhen was upside down, with a round chin, his lips were always pursed, and when he smiled, he would show fine white solid teeth, a straight nose, and then blue eyes, the high bun unique to the fallen woman was a little messy, There were a few strands of hair sticking to her cheeks wetly, presumably not very comfortable, so she reached out to pick her up, and said: "Really, let the innkeeper send another bucket of hot water, you can also wash it quickly, wet clothes will be covered for so long, you will get sick." β
Mu Zhenzhen was a little shy because of the young master's intimate little gesture, and said: "The maid is not so delicate, and the clothes haven't been taken yet, even the young master has no clothes to change now, so he has to soak in the water for a while." As he spoke, he pursed his lips and smiled, and the clean cloth towel dried the young master's hair as much as possible.
Zhang Yuan and his entourage went to the Dancing Crane Inn by the Wanghai Tower to stay, Lu Dayou and Laifu immediately led two carriages to the Beicang Wharf, Zhang Yuan, Zhang Dai and others The clothes and luggage were on the boat, Zhang Dai's personal maid Suzhi and the little maid Mingyan were also still on the boat, and they wanted to be brought to the inn together - they waited for a while, and they didn't see Lu Dayou and them coming back from the dock, Zhang Yuan said: "I can't sit still, take a dry cloth towel." He took the cloth towel handed over by Mu Zhenzhen, wiped the water droplets on his body, turned his head to look at Mu Zhenzhen, this fallen girl had already turned her back, Zhang Yuan smiled "hey", stepped out of the bath bucket, wrapped the cloth towel around his crotch, and shouted: "Zhenzhen-"
Mu Zhenzhen said "um", slowly turned her head, seeing the young master like this, she didn't dare to look more, and hurriedly moved the round stool to the young master to sit on, she reached out and picked up the young master's clothes in the bath bucket, twisted it, put it aside, and reached into the bath bucket to grope around, touched a wooden stopper on the bottom edge of the barrel, pulled it out, and the water in the bath bucket came out from the small hole, there was a sink on the edge of the bathroom, and the water flowed through the sink to the outdoor gutter - Zhang Yuan sat on Erlang's legs, and if he didn't do so, he would show his bottom, and then get up and go outdoors and tell the inn guy to send two more buckets of hot water, When it didn't move, the hot water arrived, and Zhang Yuan said: "Zhenzhen, you should also take a bath quickly, it's not good to let your body dry your wet clothes." β
Mu Zhenzhen's cheeks flushed, agreed, untied the bun, often spread out the hair, the sunset suddenly shone outside the window lattice, this came to the evening, the sky suddenly cleared, Mu Zhenzhen's yellowish hair flashed a gold-like color under the afterglow of the slanting sun, because the final hair was tied in a bun, and then dissolved, naturally curled down like a wave, very a bit of a blonde girl feeling - Zhang Yuan leaned on the door, watching Mu Zhenzhen wash her hair, when the bearded guest saw the red-haired girl Zhang Yimei combing her hair, it was also this situation, thinking of Zhang Yimei, naturally thinking of that Wang Weigu, The girl in the song obviously admired Dong Qichang very much, and last time she ridiculed him for beating Dong Zuchang, Dongshe Mountain is only more than ten miles away from here, and now he said that Dong Qichang's anger and vomiting blood must have been passed on, Chen Meigong and that Wang Weigu must have been surprised, he said yesterday that he was still playing chess in Lei Kexuan - thinking about it like this, Zhang Yuan suddenly had this feeling: Is it too smooth to fall Dong this time? He successfully guided the anger of the people of Huating, and he was quite restrained, and did not cause a big turmoil, Dong Zuyuan and Dong Zuchang were also caught by Wu Tuiguan in the yamen, and the Songjiang government has always participated in the matter of overthrowing Dong, and since the government participated, then they could not be held accountable for the responsibility of these students afterwards, all of this can be said to be a last resort, but is there anything else I didn't think of?
ββIsn't it too early to think about victory before you think about defeat? Dong Zuyuan and Dong Zuchang were arrested, but Dong Qichang just spat blood, if he treated Dong Qichang like nothing, would he be a light enemy?
Mu Zhenzhen bent over to wash her hair, thinking that the young master had been looking at her, she was too ashamed, she was in a hurry, and peeked at it, the young master was standing by the door, his face was facing her, but his brows were slightly furrowed, his eyes were far away, and he obviously didn't look at her - Mu Zhenzhen felt slightly lost, but the humility and hardships since childhood made her never dare to have too many extravagant hopes, the young master was very good to her, and she was already very fast to stay by the young master's side, she thought: "What did the young master think, Dong Zuchang was arrested, why did the young master frown again?" β
β¦β¦ Lu Dayou and Laifu came back from Beicang Wharf, Zhang Dai and Zhang Cao's maids and maids came, Wuling brought Zhang Yuan's clothes and shoes for the young master to change, and asked with great interest: "Young master, when will you open those boxes to see what treasures there are?" β
Zhang Yuan glared at Wu Ling sternly, Wu Ling didn't dare to say anything, Zhang Yuan had told everyone before, not to mention the box, even Zhang Cao was not allowed to say, Zhang Cao is a big mouth, can't hide things, and is still in Songjiang Huating, of course, be careful, people can't get carried away at any time, and if you get carried away, it's easy to fall and fight - Neng Zhu was sent to Songjiang Mansion to find Zhang Cao, Weng Yuansheng and others, and they all came back at this time, in addition to Zhang Cao, Weng Yuansheng, Jiang Shiqiao, there are also four Jinshan Wei Xiucai headed by Lu Tiaoyuan, In addition, more than 30 Huating students also came to visit Zhang Yuan and Zhang Jiezi, and more than 20 Qingpu students, including Jin Langzhi, Lu Tao, Yang Shixiang, and Hong Daotai, who had previously filed a complaint in the government office, also came, and went to the Wanghai Restaurant next to the Wuhe Inn to open 10 tables, and the three brothers of the Zhang family in Shanyin and the three counties of Songjiang celebrated the victory of Dong Victory, although the trial of Dong Zuyuan, Dong Zuchang and others had not yet been opened in the Criminal Hall, but the students present had indicated that they would keep an eye on the case, and they would never give up if they did not give up on the second Dong if they were not sentenced heavily-there were more than 1,800 students in the three counties of Songjiang Prefecture. There are only a dozen people who really have grievances with Dong, and the vast majority of students and Dong are without grievances, but these dozen students are united as a big force, and these dozen or so people have their own friends and relatives, which can affect many people, so it is very necessary to "calligraphy and painting are difficult to speak to the heart" and "Dong Eun's evil deeds", that is, to influence public opinion, so that most of the students and people who have no grievances with Dong stand on their side to denounce Dong - all the students in Songjiang think that the victory of Dong is decided, except for Jin Langzhi, Weng Yuansheng, these friends of Fan Chang, were still immersed in the pain of bereavement, and the others were all pushing cups and changing lamps, raising their eyebrows, talking loudly, and the wine was dispersed, and the students of Huating County went home separately, and lived in the inn in other counties, and met in front of the government office to supervise the trial of Huang Zhifu and Wu Tuiguan, and the three brothers Zhang Yuan, Lu Tao, Yang Shixiang, Hong Daotai, Jin Langzhi, Weng Yuansheng and Jiang Shiqiao were nine people who stayed in the Maihe Inn -- in Zhang Yuan's guest room, a square table, nine people sat in groups, and a double-core white porcelain light on the table was yellow, Zhang Yuan said: "Be prepared for danger in times of peace, think about whether Dong Eun still has any means to fight back, we are all beings, rushing to the future of the imperial examination, and we must not be punished in any way because of this matter." β
Zhang Cao said disapprerovingly: "Dong Qichang was carried back like a dead dog, I think he will die in a few days, what can he do." β
Yang Shixiang said: "Dong Qichang has been an official for many years, famous for his calligraphy and painting, and has frequent contacts with officials in Suzhou, Nanzhili and Beijing. β
Zhang Daiqi said: "Wang Xuedao, Wang Bian Wang Tixue? β
Yang Shixiang said with a smile: "Wang Bian is a scholar in Zhejiang, and Wang Yining is a scholar in Nanzhili. β
Zhang Cao didn't care and said: "Nanjing's mention of learning can't control our Zhejiang Xiucai, I'm afraid of him!" β
Yang Shixiang glanced at Weng Yuansheng and the others, and said in his heart: "Nanjing Tixue can't directly deal with Zhejiang's Xiucai, but it can directly deal with us." Yang Shixiang was a little remorseful, he just followed Zhang Yuan and Lu Taozhu to complain, I didn't expect such a big incident to happen today, although this matter was headed by Zhang Yuan, but Zhang Yuan was backed by Zhang Rulin and Shang Zhouzuo, and he was not a local student, when Zhang Yuan drifted away, Wang Yining to appease Dong Qichang, but punished them as a minor student to set an example, although according to the current situation, it is not impossible to get rid of their fame, but it is not impossible to be beaten and demoted to one level - Zhang Yuan wants to encircle the people of Songjiang, To prepare for the Social League, of course, we have to be responsible at this time, and said: "Rest assured, this matter is initiated by me Zhang Yuan, and I will not evade it at any time -- the art of war is cloudy and the victory is not considered to be defeated, and the chess experience is cloudy, and the victory is less than victory, we must consider as much as possible what means Dong Eun can have to fight back, and write a letter asking for help, the wide spread of the 'calligraphy and painting theory is difficult to speak of' can offset Dong Qichang's reputation in the past, what I am worried about is that Dong Qichang may deliberately make this matter bigger, so as to frame us. β
Zhang Dai, Yang Shixiang and others hurriedly asked: "How to make it big?" β
Zhang Yuan said: "Today, thousands of people gathered in front of Dong's mansion, except for throwing stones, there was no excesses, and Liu Tongzhi and Jiang Tongju participated, Dong Qichang can't make a fuss about this, he has nothing to do with us, but if he deliberately makes things bigger, and makes it a taxi and a people to copy Dong's mansion, for example, Dong Qichang himself set a torch to burn the mansion and falsely accuse it of being burned and looted by the chaotic people instigated by the students, then he will have an excuse to accuse us." β
When everyone heard Zhang Yuan say this, they were all in their hearts, this is by no means impossible, Dong Qichang's two sons were arrested, and now they are really jumping off the wall in a hurry, and they can do everything.
Zhang Cao said: "There are Huating people to testify, how can Dong Qichang falsely accuse us!" β
Zhang Yuan said: "The matter is big, there must be Nanjing officials to come down to investigate, these officials have Dong Eun's slander first, and when they see that Dong's house is indeed destroyed, the people of Huating who testify will become chaotic people." β
Seeing that everyone was afraid, Zhang Cao laughed and said to everyone: "Don't panic, since Jie Zi thinks of this layer, he has his own countermeasures." β
Zhang Yuan said with a smile: "I'm just speculating on the opponent with the worst malice, Dong Eun may not be able to come up with such a poisonous plan, but we must not be lucky because of this, and we can only make ourselves invincible by taking precautions - I asked Laifu and Wuling to find Zong Yishan, there should be news." β
