Liu Tongxun returned to Beijing, and on the same day, he rushed to Ortai and Zhang Tingyu's mansions in a sedan chair to pay homage to these two Manchu and Han chief military ministers. Ortai was so sick that he couldn't get up, so he took the ginseng given by Qianlong, but he just shed tears, kowtowed on the pillow, and said: "I'm an old and useless person." The master cares for his kindness like this, and he can't repay it...... Yan Qinggong, please play on your behalf, my two sons went to Jinchuan to follow their relatives to contribute to the master, please ask the master to be kind...... There is also a sentence to tell Yanqing, people say that Hengchen and I have worked together for decades and have a disagreement, so that the protégés and former officials of the lower heads have formed a party. I'm dying of people, people are dying, their words are also good, I and Hengchen don't vote, and it's true that our political opinions are occasionally different. The first emperor admonished him face to face, and the ministers of the king should be each other, and private communication is a villain, so they are not used to interacting...... There are many students below, and some of them misunderstand the original meaning...... "Liu Tongxun listened to him chattering over and over again, and he was explaining the relationship with Zhang Tingyu for a whole hour. When he got up after drinking water, he comforted: "I still have to go to the military headquarters, take care of yourself!" If you don't think about it, you will naturally become more and more relaxed...... and you will resign. Ortai is no longer staying together. Liu Tongxun went out but did not go to the military department, and turned the sedan chair to the south to Zhang Tingyu's mansion in Xihuamen. He is Zhang Tingyu's protégé, and now he is a high-ranking celebrity in Qianlong and the previous position, and the doorman took him straight into the Zizhi Study House in the West Garden of the inner courtyard without waiting for a notification.

"Yanqing is back?" Zhang Tingyu half-lay on the kang and received a salute from Liu Tongxun, sat up and drank the ginseng soup on the kang table, took the ginseng given by Qianlong with both hands and handed it to the housekeeper, and heard Liu Tongxun say that he went to Ortai Mansion first, Zhang Tingyu smiled and said: "He is narrow-minded, you should go to see him first." Well, the ...... deserved" then began to talk about the decades of entanglement with Ortai. He is extremely organized, and his memory and eloquence are far superior to Ortai. From Nian Qianyao to the use of troops in Western Xinjiang, from Yunnan to change the land and return to the stream, he also talked about the use of troops up and down. During this period, political affairs, military affairs, finance, and the dispatch of generals and officials, which coincided and which did not, were all thoughtfully and clearly explained. Liu Tongxun only listened attentively, did not interject a word, and only secretly wrote down useful experiences. Zhang Tingyu went from Chen Shi to noon, left Liu Tongxun to eat, and after eating, he was still in good spirits, and then talked again. It was easy to hear him sigh and say: "The back waves of the Yangtze River push the front waves, it's your turn to contribute to the emperor in your life." Being an official is just a matter of being proud, just like the bazaar, the day is in the middle of the day, and the day is scattered. When you came a few years ago, how could I have the time to speak at such lengths? Now it's a time when there are few guests. It's time for my 'set' to get to the end of the day. He closed his eyes, as if reminiscing about the glory of the past, and said for a long time: "Yanqing is busy with your go!" ”

Liu Tongxun's heart was relieved, it was really like being amnesty, he hurriedly got up and resigned, sat in the sedan chair and smiled secretly: I didn't come to the two old ministers' mansions to ask for peace, but it took more than five hours, urging the sedan chair driver to go fast along the way, and when I arrived at the house, I saw my family hanging lamps next to the door. There were only a few servants in his family. The old butler, who was already in his sixties, saw him come back and said, "Several groups of people have come and they can't wait, and they are gone again." Now there are only Wu Blind, Huang Tianba and a few of his apprentices, saying that they will wait for the master not to go back, and dinner will be eaten at home. I'm afraid you won't be able to eat well outside, so I asked them to stew a pot of beef soup for you, you eat a little first, and then eat some snacks at night......" He chattered, Liu Tongxun strode up the steps of the main house, and said with a smile: "I know everything!" Tell them to bring me a bowl. Blind Wu, Huang Tianba, and five or six apprentices heard his voice in the hall, and they had already stood up to greet each other together. Liu Tongxun didn't have time to greet everyone, and brought in three more people on the door, but when he looked under the lamp, it was Ah Gui, Dun Min and Dun Cheng, and saw Gao Heng swinging in with square steps, Liu Tongxun saw that there were guests inside and outside, so he went outside first and then inside, and hurriedly said to Wu Blind, "They are short-talked, we have long words, it is really disrespectful, you sit first, I will come over after talking to Lord Gao." Then he turned around and took Gao Heng and the other four to the east study and sat down. Liu Tongxun held the beef soup in his hand and said with a smile: "It's presumptuous, I haven't eaten-Brother Gao Heng, you are from Shanhaiguan, right?" How many days has Gui been in Beijing? As he spoke, he drank the soup.

"I went to Texas, and the two of them came back from the Shanhaiguan Salt Road." Gao Heng said, "The Cao River in Wuqiao, Dezhou is silted up, and the grain, salt, and water are not in the way. I'm going to take care of it, and that blind man Wu is also gone. I went from Shanhaiguan and went straight to Beijing when I came back. After that, he smiled and untied a bag from his waist, "This is a small moon cake from the Ma family in Texas, the filling is unique in the world, I take it with me to spend the night, Lao Liu bumped into it, it is your mouth." Shake it out and put it in front of Liu Tongxun. Liu Tongxun saw that the moon cake was only the size of Luohan money, and the workmanship was novel and exquisite, so he picked up a piece and chewed it, and said with a smile: "It's really good!" Carry this with you, you are pinned to the card, who comes with whom! Ah Gui smiled and said: "I only came back yesterday, and then I came to Chengde to see the driver, nothing important, I came to see you." ”

Everyone laughed for a while, Liu Tongxun speculated about Gao Heng's intentions, and said: "Grain and salt are all the Cao of the imperial court, and there are so many people in Jinggi in Beijing, and it is amazing to have no salt and no grain." Dabu political envoy, although you can rest assured, there is something wrong with the salt and grain, and I only have the reason to beat Wu Blind Man's board, and I will never protect my shortcomings. "I'm angry old Wu rude," Gao Heng said with a smile, "- I took a group of Qinggang brothers to find the Texas Salt Bureau and made trouble for more than an hour, so scared that the head of the Salt Bureau slipped through the back door." I'm so good that it's okay. You, Lord Yanqing, are now saying the same thing in front of the emperor, so come to see me, even if I have it, please bear with me a little more. Liu Tongxun smiled: "Don't forget that you are the uncle of the country, you and I are really Bao Longtu." Don't even the concubines take it seriously? ”

"You said my sister?" Gao Heng snorted, "She doesn't even dare to fart in front of the emperor!" She has no son, and she doesn't dare to speak up to others, that is, the noble lord of the (Gao Jia family)! The little uncle you said who bullied the good people and was domineering was made up by the nonsense! Ah Gui smiled: "Your uncle is also romantic enough, I see that you have limited intentions and official duties, and there are a lot of things like stealing chickens and dogs." Gao Heng smiled: "Fuck you, who is chewing this rotten tongue behind?" It's a little, and it's also wishful thinking. I'm not bad, I don't stretch out my hand to take money from the treasury, who dares to say that I'm a bad official? Nowadays, it is said that there are few corrupt officials, but ghosts don't believe it, and if you go to each money bank, the money stacks are like a hill - it is a silver ticket. Now there is no such stupid donkey, send silver and gold to the boss directly, listen to me - if it is not cold, you will also put on a new coat, stuff the silver ticket in your pocket, go to see Yin Jishan to talk, and leave without saying a word when you leave, and Da Yu will 'forget' to Jishan. Next time, the first one will be you! - Otherwise, why did you little Agui get promoted so quickly? ”

Ah Gui hurriedly smiled and waved his hand, and said with his body staggering: "Don't compare with me, I'm not this kind of person, and Jishan is not this kind of person!" I said maybe you make these small moon cakes of the Ma family, stuff them with emerald opal or something, or give a pair of Go pieces made of gold, painted with black and white paint on the outside, and give them to Fu Liuye, and promote a Shangshu Jiuqing or something, it is also easy! Gao Heng waved his hand like A Gui and said, "Come on, I'll lure the wolf into the room!" I'm not this kind of person, and neither is Fu Heng......"

"Ah Gui, I heard that you have recently been called 'Jiamu'?" After laughing once, Liu Tongxun regained his appearance and asked: "Now that Negong has gone to Chengdu and dispatched Jinchuan, what is the situation on the front line?" Is Zhang Guangsi still the same as before? This is a matter of concern to everyone, and everyone quieted down and pricked up their ears to listen to Gui.

The situation on the front line was actually very bad, his relatives were in Chengdu, and Zhang Guangsi went to Chongqing to "seek medical treatment". The Southern Route Army and the Middle Route Army are now partial divisions, shrinking in Guizhou, southern Sichuan, just urging food to recuperate, and they have invited good masters to write into the military regulations for their relatives, and everyone has contributed their plans, and they all say that they are the way to win. The three military meetings in Chengdu were a mess and broke up unhappily. While writing a letter urging Zhang Guangsi to return to the army to "recuperate on the spot," he sent a letter to Qianlong to march in northern Sichuan and respond to the southern Sichuan strategy, and Qianlong's approval of the hand to the deputy generals and above, and brought a message to Zhang Guangsi, saying that if he could not go to the army to govern the army together, he would ask for resignation. This forced Zhang Guangsi to "take the doctor back to Chengdu to listen to the order". The commanders were not united, the military discipline below was not strict, the soldiers mutinied, and the shops were robbed and smashed from time to time. It was observed from all over the country that the inspectors from the Imperial History to Sichuan complained to the Beijing Metropolitan Procuratorate and transferred them to Fu Heng. But the position of the Minister of Military Aircraft is still concurrent, and the position is still above Fu Heng, and Fu Heng has transferred all his brains to his relatives. For the sake of Anjun's heart, he ignored it. At the Fourth Military Council, it was set on fire. It made the armies even more arrogant and arrogant. The Qing army was like this, but Shaluoben was getting better and better, repairing Xiaojinchuan, buying grain from the Yungui Horse Gang at a high price to prepare for the famine, and preparing tea and salt were also abundant. I also bought more than 20 muskets from the defeated soldiers of the Qing army, and I don't know where to fish out two cannons, and they were also repaired. The construction of grain depots and the construction of ** are happy, the enemy and us have not yet fought, and the morale and situation have been high...... But these are all military secrets, and no one can tell them except Qianlong and Fu Heng. Ah Gui pondered for a while before he said: "Now Zhang Guangsi's military gate is all about the head of the middle hall. The command of the whole army is unified. But the big grassland really can't go in winter, the south of the gold mountain, June is also full of snow, after October will be closed the mountain, the grain can not be transported to the middle and south roads, the emperor has been gracious to attack next summer. As for victory or defeat, in addition to personnel, it also depends on the will of God, and Jiamu does not dare to make judgments. He paused for a moment and said, "Zhang Junmen is old—I mean his heart is old." In terms of age, he is still two years younger than Yue Junmen! -- He has to avoid everything now, and if he loses the word, he can only say that he is 'victorious'; 'an' is not allowed to say 'an', but must say 'release'; 'horse' is 'big donkey'; and 'sheng' is 'hard'. The generals beat the whip when they said it wrong. Last time, he had a protégé named Ma Zi'an to worship, and the master saw that this person's name was all evasive words, and he was worried, and asked me how to report? I said that you should report a 'door family, a hard donkey, and let go', that is! - Isn't that a backlash? After that, he said: "There are still people waiting for Yanqing Gong's side." Let's not soak him, let's disperse! ”

So everyone got up with a smile, and Liu Tongxun no longer stayed with each other, sent to the dripping eaves, said goodbye at the door of the hall, and returned to the house. Gao Heng and a few people went out together and got on their horses, looked at their watches under the watermelon lamp, and said with a smile: "It's getting dark early, and the sun is still bright and bright in Futian - I still have to do something, let's see you tomorrow!" "Let's go. Ah Gui smiled and said to the Dun brothers: "You want to eat my Gaosheng wine, let's go to the Qianmen Gaosheng Restaurant, how about it?" It's a pity that Qian Du, Zhuang Yougong and Le Min are not in Beijing. Duncheng smiled: "They are one!" What is not in it? Xueqin is not far from Xizhi Gate, let's buy some braised pork, roast chicken, peanuts, roasted wheat or something, and bring a jar of wine, and don't disturb his house, and have high happiness, wouldn't it be good? "It's so good that a few people even say it's wonderful.

Gao Heng left Liu's mansion, took a horse to Fu Heng's mansion, and before going out in the afternoon, he had asked his family to make up a Mid-Autumn Festival gift for the Fu family, as well as a pound of old Korean ginseng, which was sent by Kim Chengzhu, the North Korean envoy in Beijing, passing through Shanhaiguan, and he carried it with him. There is also a letter written by Yue Jun to Fu Heng, and it can be said that he is upright to see Tang'er. But Gao Heng is a little afraid of Tang'er, because he always covets Tang'er, and has a heart that is not conducive to the son, Fu Heng is a high-ranking official, and the queen's position is deeply respected, Gao Heng can't compare with any of them, and he has an inferiority complex. But Tang'er's flower is too lovely, in his eyes, the figure, the posture, the appearance, the ...... There is no place that is not like the yellow son "Luoshen", and his smile and smile make him itch unbearably. As long as he is in Beijing, Gao Heng always has to find a reason for three days and two days, or worship Fu Heng, or ask An to send something to Fu Heng's house, although the cat is not allowed to be fishy, and when you meet, you can get close to Fangze, and you will feel refreshed when you hear a smile.

Thinking all the way that Tang'er had arrived at the gate of Fu Heng's Mansion, because Xiao Wang followed him to Chengde and brought a large group of men, there were actually no men in the second gate of Fu Heng's Mansion. Gao Heng is a person who is very familiar with walking, someone has already seen it and reported it, about a bag of cigarettes, the old king came out and said: "Mrs. said that Uncle Guo is a frequent visitor, there is no need to be formal, if there is a letter to our master, please go in." Gao Heng was secretly happy in his heart, but he was a little afraid, so he entered the inner courtyard alone. Seeing Tang'er's shadow reflected in the window, he smiled through the window: "Is my sister-in-law in the house?" As soon as he lifted the curtain, he entered the house, and saw several half-aged daughters-in-law standing under the kang and watching Tang'er draw patterns on the kang table. That group of girls had received a lot of benefits from him, so they were busy moving embroidery stools, making tea, and handing hot towels for him. Then he sat down.

"Now Master Gao's Jingbai is also doing well. The princes and grandchildren of the capital watched the Peking Opera of the Hui team, and they were all crazy! Tang'er smiled, looked at the letter and bag that Gao Heng put on the table, and ordered: "Caihui, take the letter that Master Gao brought—what is in that bag?" Gao Heng took the opportunity to get up and personally sent the yellow cloth bun to Tang'er Kang, trembling, while laughing: "This is a package of high-quality Korean ginseng, for the sixth brother and sister-in-law to replenish their bodies." All of them were scavenged this year, with 20 batches of leaves for the small ones and 70 batches of leaves for the large ones [1]

Speaking of singing, even Prince Lao Zhuang went to the sea. His third son, Honghui, had already been taught by Prince He. This summer, when he returned home, the old prince made a small stool at the entrance of the Moon Cave in the West Garden to enjoy the shade, and listened to his third son reciting the drama 'Da Da La' outside...... Gotcha, boom! Qiang Du'er ...... 'Come in, Lao Yunlu suddenly became irritable, pulled out the small stool under his buttocks and scolded: "I'll beat you to death as a turtle grandson, don't study well, only pick up bad learning!" 'A bench smashed over the head!' Na Honghui grinned and caught it, and then set up a portal, and the overlord raised the wooden stool and said in a joke: 'Hey, yes, yes...... What a powerful prince! Prince Zhuang also loves to watch plays, so he was stunned and said, "Oh, good! You...... You've really learned! He talked and compared under the kang, and learned so much. A room full of daughters-in-law and girls were so amused that they were giggling and laughing.

Tang'er was also amused and laughed, and said: "Outside, you men look like big people, and when you see the next person, you pretend to be like a person to do an errand, but in fact, you are pretending to be a play in your belly, what a good thing!" After letting go of the cat in his arms, he ordered his daughters-in-law to withdraw their tricks and retreat, and asked with a new face: "Yue Jun's daughter-in-law is okay?" I'm really thinking about her! Last time, she gave me a piece of embroidered brocade, and I said that I would give her something, but then I forgot about it. Gao Heng smiled: "Sister-in-law said something confused, didn't she?" Yue Jun and I are official people, how can I see other people's guests? Tang'er said: "That's not necessarily not going to be seen." Nowadays, officials go off the rails and set friendships, all over the world. Are you a good person? ”

Gao Heng looked at Tang'er under the lamp, and his eyes became more and more bright. Seeing her sitting reclining with deceitful legs, smiling and lovely, and sultry, she smiled and said: "My sister-in-law is getting more and more articulate, and the more unwilling she is to forgive!" I often say to the person in our house, you have to win the sixth sister-in-law's talent, even if I burned high incense in my previous life! Tang'er said: "I'm also old, what kind of talent do you say!" But if I want to be a man, Ding is Ding, Mao is Mao, go out to work with the emperor to seek fame, then I am a person! The more Gao Heng looked, the more itchy he became, walking around, pacing in front of the lamp, touching the candlestick and stroking the kang table, and praised it in his mouth: "The gold thread pinched into this kang table is really beautiful...... Ding is Ding, Mao is Mao, sister-in-law said it so well. In fact, from ancient times to the present, men are Ding, and women are Mao! I'm going to Rehe in a few days, do you have any letter with you? The sixth brother hasn't come back for so many days, aren't you afraid that he will mess with flowers outside? Sister-in-law, don't move, there's a moth in your hair, I'll catch it for you! ”

"It's getting late." Seeing that he was getting more and more restless, Tang'er stretched out his legs to get off the kang, swept his hair, and said, "I still have to go to see Kang'er, you should go back too." "—Then he lifted the curtain and went. Gao Heng's face was bored, so he had to drag his steps away from the Fu Mansion.

Gao Heng is not interested here. Over there, Cao Xueqin's house in Xiwan Wainan Village was full of red candles, full of sake, and everyone was laughing and happy. Ah Gui is now getting the favor of the saint, returning to Beijing all day by a group of filthy officials around, looking at the smiling face and listening to the praise of the trouble, at this time everyone is sitting on the earthen kang pu mat, shouting and drinking no big or small, really life is ordinary and elegant, very happy, said a school of southwest scenery customs, and sighed: "If Xueqin goes to Jinchuan to see, the beautiful scenery of the four seasons in one day, maybe what new tricks will come out of the 'dream'!" Alas, that place in Jinchuan is really a treasure land if there is no war! He told about the mountains and rivers there, the folk customs there, and also talked about the love entanglement between the Salophan brothers and the Salopun brothers, and everyone listened to it with relish. Fat Yanzhai smiled: "You didn't see us come last time you came back, and we also said that the official is big, and the eye sockets are also big." It seems that you are a man of temperament after all! Ah Gui said with a smile: "With the soldiers, in a dangerous situation, thinking about killing people with one mind, preventing defeat, the interest of literature and thinking has faded." What is Gui? This is what you call adaptability. Named after the front and back! This site is going out to take the old soldiers again, and it is going to be busy again. With that, he sighed and drank it all.

"I just heard Brother Gui say that Duoyun is brave and good at fighting, affectionate and righteous." Liu Xiaolin said with a smile, "Xueqin has now added a female general Lin Siniang to "Dream of Red Mansions"! The poems of Jia Huan and Jia Lan are also gone, only Jia Baoyu sang a long song to praise this pink general, euphemistic, desolate and mournful, it is really shocking! Listen to me—" and then he whispered:

…… The fishy wind blows the Longtou wheat, and the sun shines on the flag and the tiger tent is empty.

The green mountains are lonely and the water is full of water, and it is when King Heng died in battle.

The rain drenches the grass with white bones and blood, and the moon is cold and the yellow sand ghosts guard the corpse.

The clouds and soldiers only protect themselves, and Qingzhou sees dust,

Unexpectedly loyal and righteous Ming Boudoir, angry King Heng is proud.

Who can count the number of the kings? Died General Lin Siniang.

ordered Qin Ji to drive Zhao Nu, and Yan Li and Tao came to the battlefield.

The embroidered saddle has tears and spring sorrow, and the iron armor is silent and the night is cold.

The victory or defeat is naturally difficult to predict, and the oath of life and death will be reported to the former king.

……

What is the civil and military dynasty, not as good as Lin Siniang in the boudoir!

I am the fourth mother's long rest, and the song is still hesitant.........

After the crowd listened to this mournful chanting, the four seats fell silent for a while. Zhang Yiquan couldn't help but shake his head and sighed: "How do you write it?" It's so sad, it's too desolate! Xueqin smiled: "That's a novel!" Are you weeping for the ancients? In fact, this ancient style is also ordinary, it only fits Brother Shi's mood at that time, so it has a different taste. I haven't named it yet, this is the finishing touch, it's not appropriate to think of a few, you can help, Cao Zhan won't eat your wine in vain. ”

"It's called "Pink General Words"!" Ah Gui said first. "Too cheesy, too cheesy!" Liu Xiaolin shook his head again and again, bowed his head and pondered, "It's better to call it "Lingbo Goddess". Zhang Yiquan said: "This is not martial arts, like Luoshen, and it is not good!" Fat Yan Zhai said: "I think it's better to write "General Hengwang Ji Song" directly! Dun Min said, "General Posa! Duncheng said: "I think it's called "Curvaceous General"! ”

Cao Xueqin shook her head one by one. Laughing: "It's not appropriate." This is a strange woman, and the name of the poem must also be strange to be well-proportioned. Duncheng smiled: "It's a legendary woman, and it's not recorded in the historical books, why should we work hard for Xueqin - let's eat wine and leave it alone!" As he spoke, he raised the pot, was stunned, and shouted at the back room: "Sister-in-law Fangqing, add some hot horse urine!" ”

Fang Qing said crisply in the back room: "Hey-here!" Fang Qing came out with a tin pot, poured wine into the wine pot with a smile, and said: "The small ones are eating milk, and the big ones are pestering to tell stories, so I forgot to mix the wine." There is something for you to eat! Just don't get drunk, just like the last time, one horizontally and one vertically put two or three on my kang, and vomit all over the wine and food, doesn't it hurt your body? Duncheng smiled: "Sister-in-law is getting more and more like a flower, and she is also fat and radiant - if it weren't for respecting Xueqin, we would have moved your thoughts!" Fang Qing chirped: "Dead! Full of nonsense, your yellow soup is serious! "Smiled and went. Dun Min chased the voice and looked at her back and shouted, "I have a copy of "Liao Zhai" there!" It's full of stories there, and I'll bring you a baby to play next time! ”

"Nonsense—Sister-in-law!" Cao Xueqin didn't pay attention to the jokes his brothers made with Fang Qing. A shot said: "Why don't you just name it "General Sister-in-law"?!" ”

Everyone was stunned: how could they use "ghost words" as the name of this poem? I saw Cao Xueqin draw the word "concubine" on the kang table with a wine dip finger, and explained: "This word comes from Song Yu's "Goddess Fu", which originally said that women are beautiful and chaste, and with the word 'general', it is a story of Lin Siniang's identity. Isn't it a word that is rarely used in modern times, and it is also novel to read? Everyone laughed. Duncheng said: "Xueqin has stained my light this time. If I don't call my sister-in-law out, if you don't have that joke, how can you find such an inspiration? You want to toast me-" He took the door cup and drank it himself, and Dun Min said: "Now that Ji Xiaolan is collecting books for the imperial court, and there are such good books now, why don't we recommend him, and it is also interesting to ask him to compile it into the "Siku Quanshu". ”

"Don't!" Cao Xueqin poured wine for everyone one by one, and said solemnly: "I was about to talk about this, I am a small person and an idler, and I only write books for the common people to read and relieve the boredom of idlers." Therefore, this book does not involve military affairs, let alone discuss the major affairs of the imperial court. The decree of Master Ji to compile the "Siku Quanshu" has already been sent to Zongxue, and only the books of the subset of classics and history and political treatises can be selected. Ji Xiaolan doesn't like "Liao Zhai" and "Red Mansion" and other barnyard books. He has his own set, everything is true, he has to write it carefully, and he can only enter his Dharma eyes by quoting scriptures. Don't look at Ji Gong's witty and funny, he is not a first-class figure of Gao Shiqi in the previous dynasty, he is an old and sophisticated minister who understands human feelings and natural principles. I don't want to mess with such nobles. "That's it," said Duncheng, snorting his wine, "that's actually a slick old master, and it's funny and funny to hide his sophistication!" Today's people are getting smarter and wiser in the heyday. The emperor Shengming didn't let the holy grandfather, but what about the courtiers? The more you look at it, the more it's a bunch of slippery heads! As far as Fu Liuye and Ne Zhongtang are concerned, they seem to be a bit of a person. Like the famous ministers in the Xi Dynasty, such as Xiong Cixu, Guo Xiu, Zhou Peigong, Zhao Liangdong, and Li Guangdi, now looking horizontally, how can a group of these! None of them can match theirs! A Gui said: "What you said is amazing, Sun Jiagan, Shi Yizhi, Fan Shijie, You Mingtang, and Yin Jishan have also seen it." "Sun and Shi are still a bit of a legacy of the Xi Dynasty." Duncheng wine poured up, and he hurriedly took a sip of tea, "Fan Shijie and You Mingtang are two half-hangers, and Yin Jishan is playing Tai Chi, what is the difference in the court?" Back then, Tang Cheng went to the north of the book, brushed his sleeves in Nanshan, and returned with laughter, that kind of husbandly spirit, but now he doesn't see this, he has become a feminine world, a woman-uh! World...... Like our senior brother-in-law, he has been rewarded repeatedly! The devil knows how he 'suppressed bandits' in Shandong. specializes in making and making women, and he usually gets a rich man to Texas to be the head of the salt tax department, and sleeps with his wife at night, protecting the short, and beating the board of the Green Gang. Liu Tongxun - uh! Look at his stiffness, this time he is definitely forcing Wu Blind not to provoke the tall brother-in-law - the one who ran the hall is called Xiao Lu, Xueqin still remembers? Previously, at Gaosheng Restaurant, he was on an errand with the sixth master, went upstairs to help, and went downstairs to let him say-'Let's go!' That guy is now doing five grades! I don't know how to cast Zhang Zhongtang's door with a mallet, and it swished up! The last time Jishan wrote to Heng Xiang, Heng Xiang wrote back to him and I was in front of him, and the letter said - uh uh! Xiao can be edified, but he can take the responsibility of one party, and give him a trial or ...... It's not going to go up again! "His drunkenness has reached ten, his eyes are open, his mouth is sluggish, regardless of thirty-seven twenty-one, he criticizes and comments randomly, and erases many dignitaries in the world with one stroke, Cao Xueqin is afraid that he will continue to talk about it, even Fu Hengtang'er will not spare it, he is busy interrupting and wants to sober up the soup. Duncheng was already in decline at this time, smacking his mouth and still chattering, "Who can tell whether this world is prosperous or declining?" All kinds of luxury are illusory, what is evil, what is romance? Who will stay at the end of the song? Why do you want to love only flies! How sad is it to encounter a situation? The root cause of the water is that the spring is difficult to pay...... Yan Zhai's poems are really well written...... Sister-in-law Fangqing, Dun Laosan is going to fucking fall here again......"

The next day, Ah Gui went north to Chengde to meet Qianlong, but Cao Xueqin held a teaching and study meeting because of sectarianism, but he did not send it. I got up early in the morning and hurriedly picked up a few mouthfuls of rice, and helped Fang Qing brush the pot and wash the dishes. Da Maomao is eight years old, Xiao Maomao is only two years old, they are still standing on the kang, I heard that my father was leaving, I turned over and got up, jumped off the kang and chased out, one hugged his neck and shouted, "Daddy, the big dog of the second uncle of the West Courtyard eats Chongyang cake, I want it!" Xiao Maomao pulled his braid and shouted: "Yesterday you said that you would buy me a gnatwood cage, why do you say that it doesn't count?" I'm going! Cao Xueqin squatted and hugged one by one, and said a lot of "whispers" but still didn't care. Fang Qing came out and dragged them one by one, and said, "Just run out with a bare back?" Whoever has frostbite, I don't take him to the Jade Emperor temple fair - you go quickly, I haven't seen a big man and a child sticky! Xue Qin Fang smiled and went.

The right-wing sect is not far from the Cao family. Enter the Xizhimen and go straight to the east about the Xu land, and step into a narrow road to the south, which is the Zongxue Hutong. The façade outside is only more than half a room wide, the old city bricks of earth gray are one bedroom to the top, the yellow artemisia on the eaves is more than a foot deep, it is very inconspicuous, but it is not the same when it enters the inside, the courtyard of the three, the main hall of the central axis is the largest "school auditorium", it is more spacious than the six halls, the two wings are also very tall, the red fence carved board, the inner corridor is a color of blue brick floor, the large glass window is open with the cicada wing gauze curtain, it is very broad, this is the place where the princes and grandchildren of the Yan faction study. From this gate to the west, another courtyard, the furnishings in the room are too simple, this is the study place of the children of the distant branch clan and the ministers who came to study, and then to the west is a large garden of crows. From the courtyard of the Ming Auditorium to the south and then to the east, it is the resting place of the family, the long attendant, the coachman, and the sedan chair driver brought by these sons and grandsons, and there is another gate in the southeast corner, which is wide enough for two sedan chairs to enter and exit - there are sedan chairs and cars all enter and exit from here, in fact, there are very few people who go to the main gate. When Cao Xueqin entered the second gate, she heard that the cloud chime had sounded inside, and the students who were chasing and running around the courtyard threw bird cages and horse whips to their families, and went into the study school - the wing room like a headless fly. A yard of shuttlecocks, glass eggs, stones, and mud piles were thrown away, and a few messengers from the Ministry of Internal Affairs swept the ground with brooms, because they saw Ge Xiaoxin, the teacher who taught writing, was standing aside with a large roll of paper to cover his nose and hide from the dust, and asked, "Isn't it from today's teaching meeting?" Why are you going to teach students again? Ge Xiaoxin said with a smile: "It was Prince Zhuang who sent us a letter to Liu Da Nose, saying that Ji Zhangjing was going to come over to inspect the sect, saying that the students here were messing around all day long, not for school to do learning, they were all for having fox friends and dog friends to play, or to come to beg for food in the twenty or two months, the emperor had an order to ask Ji Yun to picket, rectify this sect, and tell Liu Da Nose to be careful to eat." That's all the meeting is about, the students don't hold until the end of class, it's just a matter of saying that we should come early. Isn't this an old trick of Liu's big nose? Xue Qin smiled, looked up, and said, "It's cloudy, it's easy to rain at this time, and I'm going to step on the dirt road back today." With that, he entered the second school house on the south side of the West Wing.

Here teach different folk three villages, only four books and five classics, make ink scrolls, divided into four main courses, music, chess, calligraphy, painting four sub-courses. The students practiced the piano in the West Courtyard, and the rest of the seven classes of the relatives and children of the Emperor of Jinzhi were taught in this Courtyard. Cao Xueqin specializes in painting, and students love him for his informality, knowledge, and lectures, and they all like to listen to his lectures. I didn't enter the school, and it was already quiet. Just listen to the rustling sound of rice paper unfolding. Xueqin came in, and the students shouted in unison: "Please Mr. Cao!" ”

"Greetings, gentlemen!" Cao Xueqin replied with a slight bow. He looked at the plain rice paper hanging on the wall, smiled, lifted the pen, dipped it in the ink pool that the students had already grinded, and rolled it slightly in the shabu-shabu bowl, scribbled the horizontal pen on the paper, and erased it with his hand, and in a blink of an eye, he painted a lying stone crawling with vines, and the vines were dotted with ornaments or blooming, or budding, or hanging low, or high-spirited, and painted a lot of tentacles and small flower spikes, and asked, "What is this?" ”

"Stone, kudzu!"

"Stones, honeysuckle!"

"Stone, Xue Luo!"

Xue Qin said with a smile: "This is a freehand painting, you don't have to pursue the name of the vines, where the heart goes, the painting is what appears." If you pay attention, you can also see that this stone is yellow stone, dark brown canes, dark green leaves, pale cyan tentacles, and purple ochre flowers. Therefore, it is far from enough to only splash ink and smear, to be able to ink out five colors, only in the light and thick, with water and ink, and on the wrist to focus on the front and the partial front. Some people paint ink chrysanthemums, but they paint black chrysanthemums, like window flowers cut out of black paper, because he is not from nature, but there is a 'drawing' chrysanthemum, it is rare to see good. The rigidity and softness of the wrist strength here must be adapted to the heart in order to be just right, and the distance, size, and reality must be in the chest first...... Don't underestimate the painting stone, the world's spirit stone stubborn stone such as the Ganges River sand, no two pieces are exactly the same, the same is a vulture peak, a hundred people have a hundred states, who can write its 'spirit of Lingfei', it has entered the realm of sitting photos. The same is a three-life stone, who can draw the fate of the world, see this 'edge' will also enter the realm of deification, if the painting stone does not come out of the Buddha's will, the painting Taihu Lake stone does not come out of the water, then the painting looks like chewing wax. From the shape to the sitting photo, in addition to the scholar's own talent, you have to honestly go to the mountains to see the stones, if you are lazy, God will not fulfill you! He said that he painted hand-painted, one by one painted Taishan stone, Huangshan stone, Emei stone and all kinds of vines climbing, all hung in rows, teaching students to compare, and taught students to draw, painted and hung up to comment, the students were introduced by him to the victory, one by one with wide eyes and listened to the fascination. Suddenly, a primary school student at the end of the seat asked loudly, "Sir, have you read "Dream of Red Mansions"?" There is a Nuwa Mending Heaven Stone on it, and the Green Terrier Peak is also a stone! Amma said, no one can draw these two stones well, can you draw a model for us? ”

The students immediately applauded in unison and shouted, "Please demonstrate!" ”

"It's Yongqiong's seventh brother!" Cao Xueqin smiled and said, "Have you watched "Dream of Red Mansions"? Yongqiong is the grandson of Yunyu, the king of Yuke County, has attacked the title of general of the chariot and cavalry, the king of Yuke County did not run an errand in the court, except for the luck to drive, not out of the palace, the most obedient prince, even his grandson knows "Dream of Red Mansions", Cao Xueqin is relieved, and the other is quite uneasy, so he smiled: "I haven't seen this book either, this is difficult." Xiao Yongqiong said: "Who doesn't have a book of "Stone Records" now? Mr. didn't hear that there is no "Dream of Red Mansions" in the scholar's house, and the grade is downgraded by one level? The students coaxed again, shouting: "Sir coax us, please sir, please draw!" ”

It was so lively, the south school house on the partition wall was also noisy, it seemed that the tables, chairs and benches were all rattling, and there was a sparse sound of the bowl breaking the inkstone, several students were crying and noisy and fighting, they couldn't hear a clue clearly, the whole courtyard was alarmed, and they heard someone shouting and drinking out of the Ming auditorium, but it was Liu Yuqing, the deputy head of the sect, who wiped his red nose with a handkerchief, walked to the door of the south school house, and asked: "Ge Xiaoxin, what's wrong with you, you guys are so noisy, you don't care!" At this time, the "masters" in the various school houses have heard that there is a lively atmosphere, where can the teachers restrain them? A swarm of bees jumped out of the patio with joy and shouted, "Fight, fight!" Look at the three British battles against Lu Buluo! Xueqin came out with the students to watch, and listened to Ge Xiaoxin's explanation for a long time, only to know that the school next door also caused a big fight for "Dream of Red Mansions".

The incident was caused by Prince Yi's grandson Yonglang. He stole a copy of the Wangfu's "Stone Records" from his home and peeked at it with his hands under the table during class. Hongchun, the second son of Wang Yun of Suijun, saw it and begged to borrow it, but Yonglang borrowed it with a soft heart. Hongchun hadn't finished reading it, Beizi Hongjun borrowed it again, but he was forced to borrow it by Prince Yi's grandson Yonghui. Although Yonghui's father and ancestor are ordinary, he himself is the fourth son of today's son Qianlong. Because King Yi has no queen, Hongjun and Hongchun are all close to the clan who have committed dethronement in the hands of Yongzheng, how dare they disobey the flesh and blood of this son of heaven? I had to borrow it, and when I returned it, Yonglang turned the book, and there were two pages missing, and the three of them passed the buck to each other when they asked. Hongjun and Hongchun two "uncles" can't afford to provoke the two nephews, complaining to each other at the bottom, they have fought a battle in private, Hongchun suffered a loss, taking advantage of Ge Xiaoxin's unpreparedness, an inkstone flew to Honghui, but smashed Yonghui's tea bowl, Yonghui expected that Yonglang made people report the hatred of tearing books, and got up in the hall and pointed and scolded: "My day your grandmother, dare to plot against me!" Yonglang is also the grandson of King Sejong, who has been arrogant since he was a child, and said back: "I see that you are not a person, tear up my book, and return my grandmother." My grandma is your grandma, you **! Hit him with a ** seed! ”…… So a calligraphy class suddenly became a mess.

Liu Da Nose understood, weighed the four students, and couldn't afford to provoke any of them. Because he rushed the fire to Ge Xiaoxin: "It's still that you, the teacher, are not authentic." The dignity of the teacher, but you are more respectful and self-respecting, why do you make such a fuss? He scolded so much that Ge Xiaoxin hung his head and was silent. Cao Xueqin couldn't watch from the sidelines. said on the side: "Mr. Liu is so unclear when he speaks, what is this Teacher Ge doing?" The students are young, and it is common for them to be angry, no matter which master they are, they are also in charge, and they have to be taught a lesson, otherwise, what do you want this sect to do? ”

"Cao Zhan, be honest!" Liu Yuqing didn't dare to reprimand too much because Ge Xiaoxin was introduced by the prince of Yunlu, as soon as Xueqin opened his mouth, he picked the soft one, and immediately glared at the bull egg and said horizontally: "It's just that you don't go up or down, and you don't teach the Tao, and you are used to not listening to the teacher." What's so great about you? Isn't it the second and third Dun Lao to support the waist? He asked Ge Xiaoxin again, "Teacher Ge, what did you say about me when Cao Zhan came to you last time?" As soon as everyone heard that there was a new topic, they all looked at Ge Xiaoxin and listened to Ge Xiaoxin say: "Cao Qinpu said, said...... You are a snob, you can't manage this sect ......"

Now the nest was blown up, and some of these royal boys glared, and some stomped their feet, shouting happily:

"Whew, snobbish! Ge Xiaoxin is also a snob, a bastard, a bastard, and a bastard! ”

Cao Xueqin was turned against by Ge Xiaoxin on the spot, her face was so angry that her face turned white, and she proudly looked at the autumn clouds that were pressed up from the sky one after another, and only gritted her teeth for a long time and said: "Turbidity! Liu Yuqing's face was flushed by the students, but he only yelled at Xueqin:

"Huh? I don't want to go back to your Bai family's kite! ”

"Paste kite!" Xue Qin smiled coldly, "No matter where you are, what you do for a living, it's cleaner than this place!" With that, he flicked his sleeves and went out of the second door.

The cool wind swirled from behind the wall, lifting the corners of Cao Xueqin's robe to the old high, and the sky was as dark as dusk, and a few cold raindrops were sprinkled.
