Chapter 21 Wenfu
Even on the day of the full moon banquet of the little grandson of Wenfu, Yizhi lifted the corner of the car curtain and looked out, only to see everyone to congratulate, it can be said that the door is like a city, the voices are boiling, the stone is arranged on each step of the left and right two boys, Wen Yanruo, the eldest son of Wenfu, and Wen Yanbo greet the guests at the bottom of the steps, there are men who sing before the palace are commanded to make Liu Daguan arrive, and at a glance see the carriage and horses of Yanfu, he sang to the governor of the political affairs Yan Daguan arrived, and saw Wen Yanbo heard the news and looked over, and hurriedly put down the curtain, straightened the placket, and helped the hairpin, and saw his mother leaning towards himself, Then he squinted and smiled.
After a short time, the carriage and horses stopped steadily, and Yizhi got out of the carriage with his mother and came behind his father.
Yan Shuzheng greeted the big brother of the Wen family and congratulated him, Wen Yanruo, Wen Yanbo then bowed to the Su family, and then to the memory.
Su Shi bowed slightly, Yi Zhi Wan Fu said a few auspicious words, Wen Yanruo smiled and thanked him, invited everyone to enter the mansion, Yan Shu then brought his wife and daughter into the Wen Mansion, Yi Zhi helped Su Shi, looked back, but saw Wen Yanbo looking at himself, he saw Yi Zhi turned around, couldn't help but smile, Yi Zhi saw it, his face turned red, he also smiled, and hurriedly turned around.
As soon as I entered the door, there was a small daughter-in-law to meet up, Yan Shu to the front hall, and the daughter-in-law led the Su mother and daughter to the backyard of the table, although I remembered that I had come a few times, but it was also a few years ago, I only remembered the style of the Wenfu, and the palace garden was just like that, now I have a thought, look carefully, and feel that the person who arranges the character is elegant, a path through the corridor, only to see the hall and the pavilion are magnificent, and even the three gates, and go to the garden, and see the trees, mountains, and stones.
The table is placed in the pavilion in the center of the lake, the ground is paved with white jade bricks, there are corridors on the left and right, there are zigzag bridges up and down, the official eunuchs and their dependents are clustered or sitting, or standing, or three or two piles, or groups of people to socialize, it is the flowers and flowers, and the splendid Qiankun.
For a while, there was a faint sound of singing pipes in my ears, and I looked away, only to see an embroidered boat floating in the lake, and the pennyman was supporting it in the bow of the boat, and the tulle was flying, vaguely outlining the slender figures of the three courtesans playing and singing softly.
Yizhi followed his mother to congratulate Mrs. Wen and Wen's daughter-in-law Lu Yiran, Su Shi saw the childish child in the nurse's arms, only to feel extremely pity, and hurriedly sent the prepared golden lock, Lu Yiran thanked him, Mrs. Wen pulled Yizhi and talked for a while, and for a while, other officials came, so they had to let the two sit first, and then go to entertain others.
Yizhi sat down with his mother at the large table made of several square tables by the railing in the northwest corner, only to feel that Mrs. Wen was from side to side, radiant, and spoke mellow and bright, and thought of herself, she was ashamed of herself, and she did not feel very admired. looked around again, and saw Mrs. Fan and her eldest daughter-in-law sitting outside the three tables, but Wan Niang was nowhere to be seen.
Suddenly, seeing her aunt Li coming, Su Yizhi hurriedly stood up to greet her, the two talked for a while, and a maid came to invite her to the table, and the two said a few words, and Wang went with her.
Yizhi saw Xiuying again, Yingqiu and Sheng Yuzhen scattered all sides, and greeted each other one by one. For another moment, I didn't know what to pull her skirt, and I looked down again, and saw that it was Miao'er, he was holding his little hand behind his back, holding his round little belly, I don't know what was hidden, I only felt that he was more and more round and cute, and he smiled and reached out to scratch his belly, and said: "Xiao Miao'er, what is hidden behind it." ”
Miao'er giggled to hide, stretched out her hands from behind her back, originally pinching a big red peony, Miao'er blushed, stuffed the peony into Yizhi's arms, dropped a sentence, gave it to you, turned around and ran, couldn't stop it, Yizhi had to smile and pick up the flowers. Suddenly, I saw that the senior official Wen was carrying his two sons, talking and laughing with a group of colleagues, relatives and friends, and walked towards the Huxin Pavilion, and there was another prevarication, so they entered the table one by one.
Recalling the Wen officials and the princes headed by the letter king, Pingzhang political affairs Lu Yijian, Pingzhang political affairs Li Di, her father Yan Shu and uncle Su Changchun, and Zhishiguan University scholar Sheng Hong, Yu Shi Cheng Shenghao, Yu Shi Zhong Fan Zhongyan, privy deputy envoy Du Xing and other court pillars sat down on the chairman, and the rest of the ministers of the court were divided into tables according to their ranks, and then tables, Wen Yanruo and his colleagues were at the table again, Su Zimei, Wen Yanbo and others were at the table again.
As soon as the courtesan played a Lego song, the banquet was opened, and some girls removed some tea, and put a glass of wine in front of everyone, a small plate of spicy oil hairy belly, and a small plate of spicy cabbage.
Yi Zhisu loves to eat hot and sour things, but in the past few days, the liver fire is vigorous, the gums are red and swollen, and when he opens his mouth slightly, he feels pain, and he has been forced by his mother to avoid his mouth for several days. Su Shi always knew his daughter's temperament, so he asked the maid to replace these two plates of spicy dishes with melon and fruit snacks.
After a song, someone got up to congratulate the words, everyone drank a cup, the girl removed the cold dishes, on a bowl of meat and soy sauce, remembered to eat half a bowl, and saw someone get up to congratulate the words, the girl removed the meat and soy sauce, and successively put on the flower cooking quail and lychee white kidney, everyone ate for a while, drank the second glass of wine, the girl removed and replaced with the milk room basket and three crispy soup, and from the lamb tongue and the budding belly to the stewed palm basket and quail soup.
Even after drinking the fourth cup, Wen Yanruo and his wife took Miao'er to the chairman to pour wine, and the memory was close, only to hear the privy deputy envoy Huang Dehe smile and embarrassed Miao'er, pointed to the deer and roe deer under the shade of the flowers on the opposite bank, and asked: "Brother Miao'er, can you recognize which one is a deer and which one is a roe deer?" If you can't answer, you're not smart, your father doesn't love you anymore, only your brother. As he spoke, everyone laughed.
Miao'er couldn't answer, and shrank straight behind Lu Yiran. The more he is like this, the more difficult it will be for the people.
Lu Yijian smiled: "Yiran, this is the child you raised?" In the future, I will have to hurt him less, and I don't have any style at all. The crowd laughed again.
Lu Yiran said with a smile: "He's still young." Wen Daguan frowned and shook his head when he heard this.
Yizhi saw that Miao'er's face was flushed, so he wrapped two pieces of fruit in a handkerchief and walked over, first called Miao'er over, and then saw the fruit in front of his eyes, and said: "Thank you for giving me peony flowers, I just got a piece of pastry stuffed with jujube paste and pastry with five-kernel filling, let's have one piece each?" ”
Miao'er responded first, but stared at the two identical fruits, wondering: "But which piece is filled with dates, and which one is filled with almonds?" ”
Yizhi smiled: "You can't tell the difference?" Next to the jujube stuffing is the almond filling, and next to the almond stuffing is the jujube filling. Miao'er was puzzled, looked at her for a moment, and suddenly smiled: "I know!" took a piece of cake, ran to the chairman, remembered it and returned to the table, suddenly heard the chairman clapping and laughing, and heard Miao'er shouting at the top of her voice: "You don't know this, but you came to test me?" Then he knew that it was done, so he smiled and continued to listen to the music and eat the feast.
Suddenly, I heard Wen Yanbo receiving the punishment at a table of relatives and friends, and I didn't know what to do, so I paid attention to listen, and saw a chubby man, about thirty years old, standing and arguing with Wen Yanbo, and said: "If my brother's younger second brother has it, you haven't even earned a lady, so you shouldn't drink!" ”
Wen Yanbo smiled: "Drink when you drink." So he drank a cup, and when everyone applauded, the chubby man blushed and continued: "Get another cup, your big business, brothers take care of you, should you drink it?" Wen Yanbo said with a smile: "If I drink this cup, I can make my brothers happy, and I should drink it, as for my big things, I don't have to worry about my brothers, I have my own sweetheart." With that, he had another drink.
I heard the man say in his throat, "Got it? If you don't report it, you shouldn't drink it! Everyone laughed, Wen Yanbo had to smile and take another cup and drink it. The man waited for Wen Yanbo to drink, and said: "I don't know which girl it is, and when do you plan to set the ......" Then someone rose up to reprimand, and there was a commotion for a while, Wen Yanbo said: "You will be punished today, but you can spare me on the day of the wedding!" "After that, it's another laugh.
Yizhi didn't feel that his chest was hot, and suddenly saw that outside the three tables, Fan Chunren got up and walked along the zigzag bridge to the depths of the garden, thinking of Ouyang Xu, he and Su Shi used the excuse to go and scatter, Su Shi saw that although Yizhi ate a little wine, but he didn't go up, so he told Rui'er to serve well, so he let go.
Yizhi walked along the zigzag bridge and was about to go to the depths of the garden, when he saw Xiuying and Yuzhen sitting on the stone on the shore talking, and as he was talking, he took out a roll of red embroidered handkerchief from his sleeve pocket and stuffed it into Yuzhen's arms.
Yizhi looked at the embroidered handkerchief very familiarly, but he was afraid of losing Fan Chunren, so he just didn't see it, and walked along the stone-paved road to the inside, about a shot away, and suddenly heard a sob, and a woman cried: "You always perfunctory me like this, and when have you ever cashed in." ”
Yizhi heard her crying, couldn't help but lighten his steps, listened quietly, and heard a man say: "You think I don't want to admit you into the door, not all because I haven't even married a wife, so I have to drag it first." Hearing this, Yi Zhi couldn't help but feel a jump in his heart, it can be seen that he broke the lover's private meeting, and saw Xiuying and Yuzhen coming over from a distance, and hurriedly put his index finger to his lips to make a gesture reminder, Xiuying and Yuzhen saw this, and hurriedly tiptoed over, and also listened with their ears.
I heard the woman cry again: "I'm not a famous person, I earn little land, the little lady wants me to sit with me, if I go, I will inevitably have to flatter, so I can't stand you." If I don't go, my mother thinks I'm unusable, and if I don't say anything about it, where will I get my input. My family thought that I went out to make a living, how capable I was, and always said that there was a difficulty, and asked me for silver, but I couldn't tell them the truth, so I had to borrow and make up, and now you don't care about me anymore, and I can't live anymore, so it's better to throw myself into the river and die clean! ”
The man said: "What's the big deal, Ming'er, I received Yulu, all for you, don't cry, crying my heart and liver will break!" Saying that, I heard the sound of clothes fluttering again, the woman was still crying, and she said a lot of words if she was wronged, the man leaned down again and again, and it was a stack of kissing voices, Yuzhen listened to the movement more and more unbearable, and hurriedly pulled Yizhi and Xiuying, let the two go quickly, Xiuying refused to give up, and wanted to open the bushes to see who it was, and I couldn't pull it when I remembered it, and I also saw the person in the bushes, it was Huang Zizhong, the eldest brother of the privy deputy envoy Huang Dehe's family, and suddenly felt that it was inappropriate, so he wanted to pull Xiuying to hurry away, but Huang Dehe and Liu Ping were at odds for a long time, How could Xiuying let go of such a good opportunity in front of her, so she grabbed Yizhi with her backhand and shouted: "Huang Daguan, why are you here!" ”
Huang Zizhong in the bushes was inseparable from the courtesan, and at the most important moment, he was drunk by Xiuying for a while, and he was almost frightened, and he suddenly languished.
Yizhi was afraid of causing trouble, so he hurriedly dragged Xiuying to leave, Yuzhen saw this, pushed from behind, and the two of them dragged and dragged Xiuying for several miles. Yuzhen didn't know what to do, so she asked what was going on, and Xiuying counted the old grievances of the two fathers in detail, and said: "That Huang Laogou is just a deputy envoy, so he doesn't take my father in his eyes, but he relies on the official family to emphasize literature and light martial arts, and now he is prosperous and peaceful, so that he can live and enjoy himself in peace. That yellow puppy is not a thing, he wants to oppress people for no reason, this will make me arrested, how can there be any reason not to give him benefits! ”
Yizhi glanced at Xiuying and said, "If you act so wantonly again, I'm afraid that I won't be allowed to play with you at home anymore, where will you cry when the time comes." ”
Xiuying said angrily: "If you don't play, you won't play, the world just cares about you, no matter how rare I am." Seeing that she was talking crazy again, she didn't say more, and saw Fan Chunren sitting at a stone table in the shade of a tree not far away, so he said to the two: "I have some private things to say to Brother Fan, you go play, I'll come to you later." ”
Xiuying said with a smile: "Do you have any private words to say to Brother Fan, we can't know, carefully I will report to God and complain to 'him'." ”
Yizhi's face was hot, and he said, "I'm full of smoky miasma, don't block me." ”
Xiuying smiled and pulled Yuzhen elsewhere, Yizhi then walked to Fan Chunren, first shouted Fan big brother, Fan Chunren listened, got up and made a move, the way of memory was blessed, the two sat down, Yizhi asked: "On such a lively day, why don't you see Wan Niang coming?" ”
Fan Chunren looked around and said softly: "Others don't know, don't you know, and you knowingly ask what to do." ”
Seeing that he was surprised, he hurriedly said: "I haven't seen Wan Niang for a few days, but I am busy and busy, I didn't take care of the third brother, I only knew some yesterday, but I didn't know the situation on Wan Niang's side, and I asked the eldest brother to sue one or two." ”
Fan Chunren sighed and said, "You are a girl's family, so you can take care of this." After a pause, he said: "My mother, Wanniang is not allowed to communicate with Brother Xu again, and she is trying to kiss her again." He looked around again, lowered his voice, and said, "Wan Niang refuses to go, she doesn't comb her hair all day, she doesn't change her clothes, she doesn't eat, and she doesn't go out of the door." My mother went a few times, and when she returned, it made a lot of trouble. Your sister-in-law is the most difficult, persuaded her mother, she wants to be scolded, go and persuade Wan Niang, she didn't listen, she blasted out directly, and she came back to wipe her tears angrily. ”
He continued: "Earlier, when Brother Jie left, I talked to Brother Xu, and he comforted me and said that he already had a way, so it was almost time, and asked me to tell Wan Niang to live up to her. At five o'clock, I gave a lot of gifts, but my mother was surprised and refused to accept them, so she asked them all to retreat, and ordered me to inquire in private......" and looked at Yizhi again, and asked tentatively, "Do you know what he is doing now?" ”
Memories nodded.
Fan Chunren was annoyed for a moment, and said: "Since he is in your family, your family has to take care of it, if it is an ordinary family, it is just such a family of Hanmo poetry and books, how can he be allowed to do such a shameless thing!" ”
Yizhi was wronged for Ouyang Xu, and unconsciously stirred up a fire, and retorted softly: "If it weren't for Mrs. Fan's dislike of him and forcing Wan Niang to marry someone else, this one, the two would not have made such a decision and made such a scene." ”
Fan Chunren shot a look at Yi Yi angrily, stood up with a swish, and said angrily: "I thought you were knowledgeable, but you are very human, and today you can be regarded as seeing the real chapter." You're also a daughter, can't you understand it? Your mother is willing to marry you to a barren and incompetent man. I see that at your age, not to mention others, this will be picky, don't you still want to climb high branches. ”
Yizhi sneered: "What are you talking about, if you don't know my third brother, it's just that, but you know it, he is indeed barren, but he is definitely not a person who has been trapped for a long time, do you want me to say more?" He treats Wan Niang with sincerity, Wan Niang treats her with an infatuation, you have to break up the good marriage, this time I will come to slander me again, whether I climb high branches, pick or choose, and what does it have to do with you, is it not in your way. ”
Fan Chunren blushed angrily, and said: "If he is talented, why is he all hit, but he is not hit, you say that he is definitely not a person who has been trapped for a long time, he is definitely not a person who has been trapped for a long time?" And depending on who you are, it is impossible to be a fairy concubine who has survived the world. Speaking of which, in the end, that girl is not angry, and she has to be tired to death by such a person before she is willing to give up! After that, I couldn't help but remember it, and threw up my sleeves and left.
Seeing him go away, Yizhi regretted why he wanted to fight for this moment, but he was not worth it for Ouyang Xu, he didn't feel sad and angry, he shed two tears, and he choked for a while, suddenly heard the rustling of leaves, and hurriedly wiped his tears with an embroidered handkerchief, and looked at the movement again, and saw Wen Yanbo walking out of the bushes, and said with a smile: "I have been looking for you for half a day, but you are hiding skillfully, if there is no Xiuying sister to guide me, I can't find it." ”
Seeing that his cheeks were crimson and his eyes were full of spring, Yizhi couldn't help but tease: "Look at your spring face, I don't know how much wine you have been fined." ”
Wen Yanbo walked towards her with a smile and said, "Not much." "I don't know what kind of friendship you have with those people, but they persuade them to drink, and you don't argue, let them say, and drink a glass when they say another word, so relaxed, I'm afraid that the table has not been finished, and you will pour it first." ”
Wen Yanbo approached, sat down next to Yizhi, and said: "They are all aunts and cousins, they used to play together when they were children, but now that they are older, they have their own careers, and they are scattered, it is rare to get together, and it is nothing to be lively." He also said that I drank a good amount of alcohol, but it was easy to get on my face, and you looked at me as if I was drunk, but in fact I was sober. He looked at Yizhi's face carefully, and saw that his eyes were slightly red, as if there were tears, and he hurriedly asked, "Have you cried?" ”
Yizhi pondered for a moment and said, "You are not in front of the entertainment business, and you are coming to me to do something." ”
Wen Yanbo hurriedly shouted back, and suddenly, a kid walked out of the bushes, and looked familiar, it was Jiang Xiaoliu, he held a small cup in front of Yizhi, opened the lid of the cup, and a strong smell of medicinal soup came to his nose, Yizhi frowned and said, "What is this?" ”
Wen Yanbo saw Jiang Xiaoliu retreat and said, "I saw that your Mrs. Yan asked the maid to change your first dish, so I asked, knowing that your liver is hot and your teeth hurt, so I asked the back kitchen to fry the medicine for you to eat." ”
The heart of the memory was hot, and I remembered Ouyang Xu and Wan Niang, the hard-working mandarin ducks, only to feel that the marriage since ancient times was in the word fate, because of fate and love, because of the achievement of part, only half a point is not enough. I also thought that he treated me so considerately, which made me more and more difficult to control myself, but it was difficult for me to fulfill my wishes, if I simply let my mind go to deal with him, if it was successful, if it didn't work, wouldn't I be sad, thinking of this, the more boring I felt.
Wen Yanbo looked at Yizhi's expression, not like shy, secretly thought to himself, and said softly: "I know that you are the only one in your family, and you are considerate of your family, and you are not casual. In the past, I heard that your family was set for you, so I didn't dare to think about it, but now I feel more and more that there is still a chance, and I can't help but give it a try. ”
Seeing that he was sincere, Yizhi had to say: "I thought Jiang Xiaoliu was the kid of your tea shop, how do you know that it is your personal entourage." ”
Wen Yanbo said: "It used to be true, but recently it has become more and more busy, and he lacks skills, I saw that he was clever, so I recruited him, he can also use it, there are things I can't think of, he can think of them, there are things that I neglect, he remembers, and I forget, and it is difficult for him to remember." After a pause, he asked, "You haven't said why you're crying?" ”
Yi Zhiran smiled and said, "For the sake of the third brother in the courtyard." So he told Ouyang Xu and Wan Niang about it, but he just took care of Wan Niang's face and omitted the duel with his mother and sister-in-law at home.
Wen Yanbo listened to it and said with a smile: "I really don't understand why you think it's insulting to sell words. Not to mention, how many silver taels do I spend every year just to buy words and songs in my family's music shops, which are all real inputs, and there are many literati in the Jiangnan area who have made a fortune because of this. As Brother Ouyang said, he doesn't steal or rob, he supports himself, what is there to be looked down upon? ”
Seeing that he was talking, he sprayed a breath of wine, although his expression was drunk, but he was not out of shape, and he was weighing whether he was drunk or not, and said: "He is going to be a big official in the future, how can he have such a stain." ”
Wen Yanbo said with a smile: "As the old saying goes, people are not sages and sages, you think about the past and present, there are several heroes who have not made any mistakes, and who is born with great decisiveness, but it is just a bump and bump, and it is half luck and half scheming, which is what it achieves." ”
Yizhi knew that he was just talking about him, so he said angrily: "No matter what words come to your mouth, there is a reason, you just don't call Wen Yanbo, change your name to Wen Reason." ”
Wen Yanbo frowned, only smiled and said nothing, remembering that he was looking at himself with full eyes, he became more and more excited, but he was afraid that he would say something again, he was powerless to parry, so he hurriedly picked up the medicine cup and drank it, the medicine smelled bitter, but there was a trace of sweetness in his mouth. Wen Yanbo watched Yizhi finish drinking the medicine, and gossiped with her for a while before returning to the table. Yizhi went to find Xiuying and Yuzhen, played in the garden for a while, and returned to the table.
