Ma Xianglin led the team, and a few days after leaving Songjiang Mansion, Wu Zhifu returned, and Weng Yuansheng, the scribe who framed Dong Qichang's father and son, was sent to Yingtianfu.

A month later, Wang Yinglin, the right deputy governor of the Nanjing Inspectorate, sent a representative to Songjiang and announced the attitude of the imperial court, changing "the people copied the Dong Mansion" to "the Shi copied the Dong Mansion", saying that Weng Yuansheng, Fan Chang and others, as scholars, because of jealousy, seized the small incidents, reversed black and white, took the opportunity to instigate, manipulated the villagers, and almost caused a catastrophe that shook the southeast Shilin.

Fan Chang died of illness for no reason and will not be investigated.

Weng Yuansheng cane leather.

Wu Zhifu was fined, and then due to old age, he went back to Zhenjiang to repair his pension garden.

Tongzhi and Tongju were transferred to neighboring states.

Such a result made the gentry and celebrities of Songjiang City see it in their eyes and in their hearts.

It is said that the three princes of the Holy Lord have been favored for decades, and even did not hesitate to make enemies with many courtiers for the sake of establishing a prince, but the prince's teacher was wronged in his hometown, and there will be big movements in Beijing.

It can be seen that among the Jingshi, above the court, the crown prince and the Fu king, no side has an absolute advantage.

After this battle, Huang Zunsu was quickly recognized by the Songjiang gentry group.

The official gentry, the official gentry, the official first and then the gentry, their elegance and chic are the skin, the lining, all of which are the set of carefully studied officialdom.

In their routine social interactions, they reached a unanimous evaluation of Huang Zunsu: It doesn't matter how much he learns from this newcomer, and it doesn't matter whether he will be sentenced to prison or not; The important thing is that when the houses of large families were besieged by the imposing village barbarians and the green skins of the streets, Master Huang immediately went to move in to the rescue, or the elite soldiers in the flying fish suit.

It can be seen that Master Huang, who has just put on a blue robe, can stand out for the official gentry, and there are even more people in the court.

When another report came from Beijing that Governor Shen, who had bought the bandits to kidnap Huang Zunsu, was also dismissed from his post and investigated, even the prefect of Suzhou sent a general sentence to Songjiang and told Songjiang to protect the safety of Huang Zunsu's family.

So, when Huang Zunsu's wife and children came to Songjiang from Yuyao, Songjiang changed the house adjacent to the yamen for them, and the gentry who came to congratulate and give gifts were also endless.

The Han family is naturally among them.

But the second master Han Zhongwen's rules and regulations are even more delicate than the Dong family, who received Huang Zunsu's great favor.

Others inquired that Huang Zunsu knew a lot about Danqing's skills, and they sent paintings of Shen Zhou or Tang Yin.

Han Zhongwen sent Xia Gui's "Yanxiu Forest Residence".

Xia Gui was a painter of the Southern Song Dynasty Painting Academy, and was as famous as Ma Yuan.

Huang Zunsu saw that this was a Song painting, how could it be compared with the recent Wumen painting school, and he said again and again that he did not dare to accept this great gift.

Han Zhongwen explained with sincerity that he and his wife regarded their niece Han Ximeng as the pearl of their palms, and Huang Zunsu blocked the white blade of the evil bandits for Han Ximeng in a dangerous situation.

This mention of the deceased, the deceased is the greatest, and Huang Zunsu is not good to refuse.

Han Zhongwen also mentioned with a loose meaning that his ancestors, after all, were to Hangzhou with King Kang, and the famous minister of the Southern Song Dynasty, Han Yanxuan, made the Han family reach its peak again, and often received rewards from the palace, so there are genuine Song paintings in the clan, which is easier than the rich families in the Susong area, and the Huang people from Zhejiang must understand, don't think this gift is too heavy.

When Han Zhongwen sent the painting to the Huang Mansion, he ordered Zheng Haizhu to follow.

Zheng Haizhu listened to Master Han's words on the side, and was amazed in his heart.

In the end, it is a scholarly family, who knows well the chain of contempt for literati about artworks, and is a businessman, very sophisticated, and when he says it, on the one hand, he narrows the distance with the other party, and on the other hand, he also brightens his confidence.

A few days ago, when Zhuang Yuqing, the new prefect of Songjiang, arrived, at the reception banquet of the eunuchs, Huang Zunsu mentioned to Zhuang Futai that the Han family had a maid surnamed Zheng, who was from Zhangzhou and had contributed to the peace of the imperial court.

Zhuang Futai, who is also from Fujian, specially promised Han Zhongwen that there would be a reward in the house.

Therefore, when Han Zhongwen came to visit Huang Zunsu, he also brought Zheng Haizhu.

One is to ask her to thank Lord Huang for helping her speak well in front of the mansion, and the other is to ask her to take a look and say a few words on behalf of Han Ximeng and the Huang family's wife and children, look at the figure and dress of the mother and son, and prepare rouge gouache and brocade Luo Yi to have a good number. Let's send a gift specifically to the back house of the Huang family, so that the daughters of the two families can move around.

……

Zheng Haizhu returned to the Han Mansion and told Han Ximeng that Huang Zunsu's wife, Yao, was about twenty-five or sixteen years old and quiet and silent. At first glance, from the makeup and hairpin rings to the clothes and shoes, they all reveal a sense of simplicity and tranquility, like a plum blossom in the light moon.

However, if you look closely, the utensils outside Yao's hands are fine and gorgeous.

For example, a fan shaken by Yao's is covered with gorgeous begonia flowers, like clouds.

Another example is the silk veil covered on the makeup box, which is also colorful and full of spring colors.

Han Ximeng listened and pursed his lips and laughed.

She temporarily revealed the temperament of her daughter who loves to guess other families, and said to Zheng Haizhu: "I think I was a lively woman, and I was cold-tempered by the rigid and old-fashioned Master Huang." ”

After thinking about it for a while, he and Zheng Haizhu arranged a few embroideries that could be given to the female dependents, plus two belly pockets, respectively for the eldest son of the Huang family and the newborn second son.

The eldest son of the Huang family is not Huang Zongxi.

Zheng Haizhu saw Huang Zongxi, a six-year-old boy in Huangfu today, and thought of the bitter old master with a bitter face in the illustration of the middle school textbook in later generations, which was quite interesting at that time.

At this moment, when I heard the order, I actually wanted to embroider the belly pocket that the famous thinker in the late Ming Dynasty wore in his childhood, and he couldn't help laughing even more.

But in the end, I held back my laughter and went to see a new painting that Han Ximeng put next to the embroidery frame.

It was the people of the time who copied Tang Yin's painting "Shu Ling", and the ukiyo-e of the Wa Kingdom brought back by Zheng Haizhu was placed side by side.

Han Ximeng walked over with the embroidery box and said to Zheng Haizhu: "Ah Zhu, look, is this woman in the painting of the Japanese Kingdom similar to the person painted by Tang Ziwei?" ”

Tang Yin's "Shu Ling" depicts the kabuki in the palace of Wang Yan, the lord of Shu five generations ago, but it actually represents the general aesthetic standards for women in the Jiangnan region of the Ming Dynasty.

As a later generation, standing in the dominant position of being able to read through art history, Zheng Haizhu can naturally easily find that the commodity economy has been quite developed in the six provinces of Jiangnan in the Ming Dynasty.

Even for a painter like Tang Yin, who still has a literati background, the women in his pen actually have a very strong pyrotechnic atmosphere, which is in line with the taste of the new world. This is of course something in common with the ukiyo-e style that began to emerge in Japan at the same time.

So, Zheng Haizhu expressed restrainedly: "Miss, it's a bit similar, look at these two Shu tricks, the smile on the corner of their mouths, and the charm of their eyes, they are all alive, and the beauty dressed in flowers in the Japanese painting is the same." ”

Han Ximeng nodded: "But the details are different." The woman painted by Tang Ziwei is from the pen of the scribe, and it is in the palace, and the posture is always closed, but the woman of the Japanese country is a little more swaggering and frivolous, and it is really cute to think that it comes from the fragrant place of Qin Huai in ten miles. ”

Han Ximeng's straightforward comment really surprised Zheng Haizhu.

At the beginning, Han Ximeng's ability to explain the woes without looking at the appearance was enough to impress Zheng Haizhu, a modern person, with her.

Today, I didn't expect that she, a lady who has not yet left the cabinet, did not spurn the woman in the Qinglou, but stamped the words "really cute".

Zheng Haizhu hurriedly made a bluff, looked back at the mother-in-law and maids who were sweeping outside the door, and reminded softly: "Miss, don't say it!" ”

Han Ximeng glanced at her and said disapprerovingly, "What's wrong?" How many wine shop orchids have been written in the poems of the Tang people? How many Qinglou courtesans were written in the words of the Song people? Men with meritorious fame and official spirit can openly evaluate the beauties of Fengyue places, but we women can't mention it? ”

She took a sip of tea and said, "Besides, those men look at them, the superior ones are because of love, and the inferior ones are because of desire." And when I look at them, I am appreciating the beauty of heaven and earth, the refinement of the rivers and lakes, and the thousands of vitality that they have no sickness, aren't they better than those scribes and scholars? I not only want to judge them, but also embroider them! ”

Zheng Haizhu gave a big thumbs up to the hostess in this world in her heart.

Compared with those grandmothers and ladies who rely on their fathers, brothers or husbands to live a life of fine clothes and food, but regard the low-level women who work hard to make a living as lowly and unclean, Han Ximeng can be called a true celebrity.
