"I heard that Jiang Ruohan is as gentle as jade, and his appearance is better than Pan An, and there are men who also admire him very much." The night was already a little deep, the moon was in the sky, the cool breeze was blowing, Bai Xuan's heart was rarely so happy, "You have to be careful when you approach him." ”

"Hanyu, you are becoming more and more disagreeable, when did you learn to chew the root of your tongue from a woman with a long tongue at the entrance of the street." Han Zheng thought that he was almost rubbed by Zheng Guangliang, and he held his breath in his heart, "You are so cruel to your brother, you forget your righteousness when you see sex, you forget your righteousness when you see sex." ”

"Open up Hongmeng, who is the love species? It's all just for the love of the wind and the moon. Bai Xuan shook the fan all the way and wandered away with a smile all the way.

On this day, the shopkeeper Zhang sent someone to send a message to Han Zheng, and tomorrow the Jiang Mansion will ask the shopkeeper to come to the door to see Master Jiang. On the second day, Han Zheng followed Shopkeeper Zhang into Jiangfu as an attendant. Although Jiang Ruohan's father, Jiang Qu, has only done compilation, his academic attainments are quite profound, and he is respected as a master of Jiangnan academics. Jiang Qu doesn't like flashy extravagance, and he is thrifty on weekdays. When Han Zheng entered the mansion, he felt that the decoration in the mansion was too simple, and even a little cold, but the style was not lost, and there were incense burners and guqins in the pavilion.

"You wait here for a while, and after I enter to see Master Jiang, I will call you in." Shopkeeper Zhang explained to Han Zheng.

"Okay, you please, I'll wait here."

Han Zheng looked around, there was really nothing worth seeing, it was much worse than his own mansion. Boredom, he took a piece of spice from the sachet and put it in the incense burner, and sat by the guqin to stroke the qin alone.

I don't know how long, he raised his eyes and saw a man standing in front of him, his face was cold, his eyes were like paint, and he was wearing a cyan robe, which was full of style, which couldn't help but remind Han Zheng of "stones are like jade, and pines are like emeralds".

"It's the 'plum blossom three lanes'?" The other party asked.

"Exactly." Han Zheng stopped the sound of the piano and got up, "Under Han Zheng, Zijun, follow the shopkeeper Zhang into the house, there is a lot of disturbance, and I am presumptuous." ”

The other party smiled faintly, and also said, "Jiang Ruohan, the words are chanting." ”

"It turned out to be Jiang Gongzi, I have heard of it for a long time." Han Zheng didn't want to, so he was lured out.

"What kind of incense is this?"

"The pure heart fragrance blended by myself has the effect of calming the mind and clearing the heart."

"I've never played this piece before, and you're the first person to play it here. Can you play it again, how about I play the flute with you? ”

He sent someone to bring a flute, the incense burner curled up, and the two of them played a piano and a flute in harmony, sometimes vigorous, sometimes gentle, and the sound of the song was clearer and longer.

After the song, the two smiled at each other. "Today's Feng Yin brother and I play together quite like Huan Yi and Wang Huizhi back then." Han Zheng opened the bamboo fan and smiled lightly.

"Is it Han Gongzi?" A small guy walked into the pavilion and bowed to Han Zheng.

"Exactly."

"Shopkeeper Zhang asked me to summon you in, Master Jiang is invited."

Han Zheng looked at Jiang Ruohan, closed the fan, and said, "It seems that Shopkeeper Zhang's consultation has ended, how about Brother Fengyin and I go to see Master Jiang?" ”

Jiang Ruohan nodded and followed.

At this time, Jiang Qu was sitting in the hall, his face was slightly sick, and the shopkeeper Zhang was prescribing medicine beside him. "Meet Master Jiang in Xia Han Zheng." Han Zheng saluted.

"Oh. I just heard the shopkeeper mention it, saying that you have admired Fengyin for a long time, and you want to talk about it. After speaking, Jiang Qu coughed a few times, picked up the cup and took a sip of tea.

"Father, how are you doing?" Jiang Ruohan on Han Zheng's side looked a little nervous.

"Oh, Mr. Jiang, the master is just infected with the cold, fortunately the condition is not serious, I will prescribe some prescriptions, and come back for a follow-up in a few days, it's okay."

"Feng Yin, have you seen this Han Gongzi?" Jiang Qu looked at Jiang Ruohan

"I just met by chance in the pavilion, and I played a song together."

"That's good." Jiang Qu said to Han Zheng, "Feng Yin has been good at studying since he was a child, he is a great filial son, he doesn't want to leave me, and gives up his career, there are not many people in Pingsu Mansion, if Han Gongzi falls in love with him, he can have more contacts." ”

Han Zheng bowed, "The son is noble, Han admires, and he is grateful for the approval of Jiang Lao, so there is a lot of trouble." ”

After the two of them retreated from the hall, Han Zheng took a spice from the sachet, "This pure heart incense is given to Brother Fengyin." Jiang Ruohan took it, "There will be an elegant gathering in the mansion in a few days, can Brother Zijun come?" ”

"Luckily." Han Zheng said goodbye.

A few days later, Jiang Ruohan set up an elegant gathering in the mansion, and Han Zheng was invited to go. The elegant collection is located in the corridor of the pavilion last time, and a group of people imitate the ancients to sit and enjoy the shade, talking loudly. At a time when the government was in decline and the war was in chaos, Han Zheng was also puzzled, there were still so many people who had leisure and elegant conversations.

Jiang Ruohan was in the middle, and the audience talked about it, without saying a word, with an expressionless face, as if what they were talking about had nothing to do with him. When Han Zheng approached, Jiang Ruohan suddenly stood up and said, "Brother Zijun, you're here." Han Zheng smiled and said, "Brother Fengyin, don't come to harm." This sword-eyed star-eyed, handsome young man stood in the crowd, and suddenly stood out like a chicken, only Jiang Ruohan could compare with it.

"Isn't this Han Zheng? How did he come? ”

"Born in a merchant family, I am also qualified to go to Yaji, I really can't figure out what Jiang Gongzi thinks." The crowd whispered, some sneering, some shaking their heads helplessly, as if this gathering had been ruined by his arrival. Jiang Ruohan ignored the suspicions of these people and asked Han Zheng to sit closest to him, and everyone sighed.

"This Han Zijun is my friend, and I invited him to come." Jiang Ruohan introduced Han Zheng to everyone.

Sure enough, someone with good deeds jumped out, "I heard that Han Gongzi was born in a businessman, and he also has a lot of research on Qing talk." Since Han Gongzi has a deep friendship with Brother Feng Yin, I really want to hear Han Gongzi start with a question. ”

I didn't think that he had just arrived, so I asked him to start the question. Han Zheng knew that these people were deliberately embarrassing him, and he was not like these people, who were obsessed with Cheng Zhu Lixue and the Four Books and Five Classics all day long, how could he start a topic. "Zhang Gongzi, Han Gongzi is here for the first time, as usual, he shouldn't be on the topic. Otherwise, Han Gong will play a song, and I will play for Gongzi's ensemble. How is it? Jiang Ruohan stood up and immediately relieved him.

Han Zheng patted the handle of the fan and smiled at Jiang Ruohan, "Thank you, Brother Fengyin." He walked through the crowd, walked to the piano and sat down, plucked the strings, and with the melodious sound of the music, Jiang Ruohan picked up the flute and echoed the sound of the piano. The flute and the sound of the piano and the song "Plum Blossom Three Alleys" were played, and everyone was silent at this time, and the sound of this song was like fairy music around the beam, which made people not know what day it was.

After the song, everyone just came back to their senses. "Good!" I don't know who shouted, and suddenly sighed and admired, "In the past, there were Huan Yi and Wang Huizhi, and now there are Zijun and Feng Yin." At this time, no one was raising the question, Jiang Ruohan asked Han Zheng to sit down and continue to invite everyone to talk. Hey, I heard that there are some people in the court who ask the emperor to change the law, how can the ancestors' etiquette law be changed, so where is benevolence, righteousness, etiquette, wisdom and faith? ”

"Now that the imperial court does not govern the world benevolently, and China is ravaged by Western powers, and the land is starving, what is benevolence."

"How can you talk nonsense about this great rebellion?"

"A gentleman goes to benevolence, and he becomes famous? The gentleman has no end of food, and the time must be so, and the upheaval must be so. Confucius first established teaching, advocating benevolence and righteousness, and Mozi sought and loved, but now it is contrary to each other. Han Zheng shook his fan unhurriedly and smiled at everyone, Jiang Ruohan pursed the corners of his mouth slightly, and did not say a word.

Han Zheng used Confucian teachings to fight back at everyone, Jiang Ruohan still did not speak, and after some debate, everyone's tone was no longer as fierce as before. When Han Zheng said: "Dethrone the ancient studies, change the current system, abolish the monarchy, advocate democracy, and change inequality into equality, but also learn from it." The corners of Jiang Ruohan's mouth moved, and his eyes looked at him, as if he had a determined expression, but he still didn't say anything.

Han Zheng seemed to see what Jiang Ruohan wanted to say, and smiled at him and nodded. While everyone was still talking, Jiang Ruohan quietly left the table with him, chatting freely as they walked.

"Today's remarks are Brother Zijun's heartfelt words?"

"Exactly."

"But after all, this statement is a bit deviant in the eyes of the current people, and Brother Zijun is not afraid of being investigated by the government?"

"The great husband acts, judging right and wrong, regardless of profit or harm; On obedience and disobedience, regardless of success or failure; On eternity, no matter the whole life (Huang Zongxi's "Song and Yuan Dynasty Cases"), what is the fear of speaking? ”

"Brother Zijun's righteous festival, the wind admires, please accept the wind and worship." Jiang Ruohan bowed to him. Han Zheng immediately stepped forward to help him up, "Brother Fengyin, this is going to torment me." ”

When Han Zheng helped him, Jiang Ruohan looked at his wrist showing a piece of red, "What is on Zijun's wrist?" ”

"Oh, it's a bracelet." Han Zheng smiled and took it off, "The last time I saw my brother have this thing, I was quite curious, so I asked someone to make one, which is made of red beans." ”

"How about giving it to me?"

"Okay, you and I hit it off at first sight, thank you Brother Fengyin for helping me out of the siege today." Han Zheng handed the bracelet to Jiang Ruohan.

"I don't know if I am lovesick." Jiang Ruohan rubbed his fingers against the red beans, read a poem in a low voice, looked up and smiled, "Thank you Zijun for giving me a token." At this time, the sunlight was shining obliquely on his face, and an amber halo rippled in his eyes, and this smile made Han Zheng's ears burn when he looked at it.
