Chapter 19 There is no truth in the mouth
Mr. Lu's sense of mystery has increased a little, but seeing his attitude towards the world, he is not like a wild and uninhibited person, who seems to be well versed in the rules of Vanity Fair.
Gongyan knew that Mr. Lu lived in the Tianxiang Inn, so he left with the golden-crowned boy.
Before parting, Zhu Hao deliberately walked to the young man's side and said in a low voice: "In addition to fishing, I also like to catch rabbits, which are occasionally sold in the flower and bird market on Wangfu East Street, if you are interested, you can come and take a look." ”
"Humph!"
The young man snorted and tilted his head to the side, unable to see if he was interested in the rabbit.
After the others left, Zhu Hao retracted his gaze and found that Mr. Lu had calmly sat back by the river, picked up the fishing rod that was thrown on the ground, and continued to swim and fish.
Your so-called Jiang Taigong fishing, isn't it this old man and young man from Xingwangfu?
Zhu Hao asked tentatively: "It seems that Mr. Gongyan has other plans?" ”
"You know?"
Mr. Lu glanced at Zhu Hao when he heard this.
Zhu Hao also grabbed the fishing rod, but he just sorted out the fishing line and asked tentatively: "Who is that?" It seems that I have a lot of friendship with the people of Xingwangfu! ”
"Great? "The Book of Songs" cloud 'vote me with a peach, and repay it with Qiong Yao.' Bandit retribution, always think it is good. 'Bandit, yes, who taught you this word?' ”
It seems that Mr. Lu has a certain understanding of how enlightened children read, and immediately picked out the words and sentences in Zhu Hao's words that exceed the cognition of his age.
Zhu Hao didn't want to answer such irrelevant questions.
Mr. Lu looked up at the calm river: "His surname is Sui, his words are public, he is a guest in Xingwangfu, and he is quite famous in Lu Shilin. ”
"Jinshi origin?" Zhu Hao asked.
Mr. Lu glanced sideways at Zhu Hao and said with a smile: "Lift people." ”
Zhu Hao asked: "That means you're the same as Mr. Lu?" ”
Mr. Lu couldn't help frowning when he heard this.
Zhu Hao's question was a pun, sounding like asking about Mr. Lu's fame, but in fact, he was mainly observing Mr. Lu's reaction.
As Zhu Hao expected.
Mr. Lu is extremely resistant to the identity of "lifting people".
"The guests of Xingwangfu all respect Mr. Lu so much, it seems that Mr. Lu should be a celebrity in the world...... But I don't know what my true identity is? ”
Zhu Hao deliberately said it plainly, and asked directly if he couldn't be tempted...... This is the child's response.
No surprises.
Mr. Lu did not answer.
Zhu Hao said: "You said that he was a teacher in Xingwangfu, so ...... That kid my age can't be the son of King Xing, right? ”
Mr. Lu smiled and shook his head: "Where do I know?" ”
"What does that gentleman know?"
"Knowing is knowing, not knowing is not knowing, and knowing is knowing." When Mr. Lu said this, he closed his eyes again, shook his head, and enjoyed it very much.
……
……
The old and the young were silent.
In the middle, Zhu Hao wanted to provoke the conversation several times and wanted to find out Mr. Lu's true identity, but he didn't get a response.
There was really no way, Zhu Hao could only fish obediently, and soon all he thought about was the young man, the other party was at least from Xingwangfu, and it seemed that his status was not low, but he had no other way to attract the attention of the other party except for hinting that he would go to the flower and bird market to sell rabbits.
"Gone!"
Mr. Lu suddenly threw the fishing rod to the side and got up to leave.
Zhu Hao hurriedly chased after him and asked, "Sir, where are you going?" ”
Mr. Lu didn't look back, and left a sentence: "Go back to your own home...... Go back first. ”
"But...... I'm here today to enlighten Mr. Lu and read and write......"
Zhu Hao said aggrievedly.
Mr. Lu turned to the side slightly and gave Zhu Hao a meaningful smile: "Although I don't know how accomplished you are in the Four Books and Five Classics, but judging by your speech and demeanor, it is far from being comparable to ordinary children, and I have nothing to teach you...... You and I have met once, it is fate, and the rest depends on your creation. ”
Step along.
Zhu Hao said loudly: "I heard that there is a Liuru layman in the south of the Yangtze River, who is only eight buckets high, and his poetry and painting are unparalleled...... Has Mr. Lu heard of this person? ”
Mr. Lu stepped out of the foot and forcibly took it back.
He turned around and looked at Zhu Hao sharply.
"Who did you listen to? The kid in Xingwangfu? Mr. Lu didn't believe that Zhu Hao knew anything about "Liuru Jushi", but felt that someone should have told him.
Zhu Hao and the golden-crowned boy had a period of time alone, probably from the conversation.
Because the young man asked Mr. Lu what he said, it was quite sharp, indicating that this son got some information about his identity from Sui Gongyan.
Zhu Hao said: "No one told me, but here I give a few words of advice, Nanchang can't go, recently Jiangjiang and Huguang are not very peaceful, bandits are frequent, listen to local businessmen said, all this may be related to the king of Nanchang, Mr. Lu said earlier to take Anlu to Nanchang...... Inspired by it. ”
"Huh."
How would a Confucian who has been famous for a long time feel when he hears a seven-year-old child who has not yet officially enlightened himself say such a thing?
I didn't spit on you directly, which is polite.
"Zhu Hao, your knowledge is indeed extraordinary, but at your age, it is impossible for you to be so evil...... The court is full of treachery and crises, if anyone wants to say this to me through your mouth, thank you for me! ”
This time, Mr. Lu did not stay and left directly.
……
……
"It's better to go."
Zhu Hao actually didn't want to know if this Mr. Lu was Tang Yin, because yes or no, it didn't matter to him.
How embarrassed Tang Yin was during the Zhengde years, everyone knows.
What is commendable about such a poor and destitute scholar in his middle and late years, who makes some money by relying on calligraphy and painting, and barely survives in a mess?
History has a high opinion of him, mainly because he has rich life experiences and is a man with a story.
There are many famous calligraphers and painters in the Ming Dynasty, and there are not a few people who can be comparable to Tang Yin, just because Tang Yin encountered a very strange situation, and the dignified Nanzhili Xie Yuan is almost a stable jinshi, but he encountered a fraud case in the field, and he will try to fall into Sun Shan, not to mention, but also was denounced by the imperial court as a small official, and ordered not to be an official in his life, and then his life was up and down, there are both the feat of building the peach blossom nunnery, and there is also the unbearable of Ning Wangfu pretending to be crazy and selling stupid luck to escape, which wanders in the rivers and lakes, buried in calligraphy and painting, and the work eventually becomes a treasure.
"Even if you are really Tang Yin, can you still help me?"
Zhu Hao returned home.
Zhu Niang has been eagerly waiting for her son to come back, and as soon as they met, she hurriedly came up and grabbed her son's shoulder and asked, "Where is Mr. Lu?" ”
"I'm back."
Zhu Hao didn't think about it and blurted out.
"And what did he teach you? He...... Where to stay? ”
Zhu Niang originally wanted to ask her son about the harvest during this time when she went out, but when she thought about it, she didn't bring any books, and she didn't bring the four treasures of the study, so it would be good to simply test her son's knowledge, what can he teach?
So it's safer to ask people where they are.
Zhu Hao is more realistic: "How do I know where he lives?" It was supposed to be good for fishing, but suddenly someone came...... It seemed to be the teaching of Xingwangfu, and after a few words with him, he left, and then it didn't take long for us to separate...... It's better for my mother to wait for him to come next time and ask directly. ”
Zhu Hao had to say so.
lest Zhu Niang think that he was angry with Mr. Lu, after all, Zhu Hao didn't give Mr. Lu a good face before.
Zhu Niang frowned when she heard this: "You kid, it's really ...... I went out with my husband and didn't even see where he lived? ”
In fact, Zhu Hao knew Mr. Lu's residence.
Mr. Lu did not shy away from Zhu Hao when he told Sui Gongyan about his address, Zhu Hao is not deaf, and he is a caring person, but he doesn't want Zhu Niang to continue to look for this person.
Asking Tang Bohu, who relied on friends for the rest of his life to make a living, to be his teacher, it was very unreliable at first glance.
"This Mr. Lu has dealings with the palace and the teachings, which shows that he is very capable, so let's go and find out where he is going, find out where he is going, and prepare a generous gift to send to ......"
Zhu Niang attaches great importance to Mr. Lu.
Zhu Hao suddenly felt that although this mother sometimes does things with a tendon, her vision is really good.
A drunk who lives on the streets, she was actually thought to have real skills by her, and in the end, it turned out that she really has a great background, and she is still famous in history!
It's pretty accurate.
Aunt Li stepped forward and said, "If people really don't want to teach, Madame should not be reluctant, it is better to find a serious gentleman for Young Master Hao." ”
Obviously, Aunt Li is not so persistent in this matter and is more pragmatic, but Zhu Niang is a bit of a priority.
Zhu Niang said: "It's rare that Mr. Lu doesn't dislike Xiao Hao, and intends to recruit him as a student, which can be regarded as Xiao Hao's creation, if Mr. Lu really has the ability, it will be of great benefit to Xiao Hao to take the imperial examination in the future, and we as parents can't help but pay attention to him." ”
Zhu Niang spoke cautiously, like a parent who worries about her children's studies.
Zhu Hao said: "That mother is going to hurry, I heard Mr. Lu tell the teacher friend in Xingwangfu that he will leave Anlu in a few days, if he leaves like this...... Is it my husband or not? A teacher of one word? ”
Zhu Niang glanced at her son, no longer talked to the child, and hurriedly arranged to go to Uncle Zhong to inquire about Mr. Lu's residence.
It seems that even the matter of drying salt at home is not so important.
……
……
Zhu Hao finally no longer has to be shackled by some inexplicable gentleman.
In the afternoon, he returned to the flower and bird market to set up a stall.
Then he ran into trouble.
Although no one collects any booth fees these days, there will still be people who take the opportunity to make money, and I don't know if it is the person found by the owner or the market, so Zhu Hao has to pay for the stall.
"Selling rabbits is a serious business, and you have to pay a land premium to buy and sell in this flower and bird market, which is the ...... rule."
Seeing that the other party's tone was very official, Zhu Hao frowned and asked, "I sell rabbits as a child, and I still have to pay money?" But I didn't sell one. ”
The man said: "You occupy the place, the rabbit eats and drinks Lazar or something, don't anyone clean it up?" Seeing that you don't have much business, just pay a penny, and if I'm still on duty tomorrow, you don't have to give it again. ”
Pay one day and two days?
I'm pretty good at business.
Zhu Hao spread his hands, "If you don't make a business, you won't have any money to pay...... I haven't heard of anyone whose children come out to do business, and the family will give a few pennies to keep the land premium...... Why don't you do that, and when I sell the rabbit, I'll give you the money right away, and that's okay, right? ”
"No! If you don't pay it, don't sell it in the future! ”
The ground guard was angry, and the consequences were serious.
Zhu Hao's business is about to turn yellow.
Zhu Hao deliberately shouted: "My mother is sick, so I will sell some money with the rabbits I caught, and wait until I go back to catch medicine for my mother...... Why are you unreasonable, big brother? Whining...... Big guys, it's a commentary. ”
Sure enough, people quickly gathered and pointed.
Manipulating the trend of public opinion is exactly what Zhu Hao is good at.
At this moment, a childish voice sounded: "I saw you fishing by the river, and your mother fell ill just after noon?" You don't mean to say that the first day of fishing is also to sell the fish to treat your mother's illness, right? Hmph, there is not a word of truth in the mouth, a villain! ”
