Chapter 47 Late Ming Dynasty Celebrities
Zhang Yanke is tired on the surface, but in fact he is extremely shrewd, especially good at capturing people's mood changes between moments, but he still maintains an unserious appearance, and laughs ruefully: "Miss Zheng, from the name to the word, there is quite a great atmosphere, right?" ”
Zheng Haizhu didn't answer him immediately, but looked at Tao Gongzi and said, "Well, the little woman asked an abrupt question, Gongzi's cousin's surname is Zhang, but why is Gongzi's surname Tao?" ”
Tao Gongzi's cramped look had faded, and he lowered his eyes and said, "Tao is the surname of my mother." The body hair and skin are subject to the parents, surnamed Zhang and Tao, all of which are below. ”
"Got my brother," Zhang Yanke scolded him mercilessly, "Don't quote the scriptures, in my opinion, you are hiding the identity of my Shanyin Zhang's nephew because you are afraid that the matter of making famous prostitutes in Yingtianfu will reach the ears of your uncle, right?" ”
Listening to this, Zheng Haizhu is already eighty or ninety percent sure of his judgment.
Zhejiang Shanyin Zhang family, the word Zongzi, has a younger brother named Zhang Yanke, and his mother's surname is Tao ......
Looking at several elements together, Zheng Haizhu is almost certain that the son in front of him is the last famous man in history.
Seeing that the young man was dismantled by her younger brother Xiong again, she pursed her lips and smiled lightly, interrupting Zhang Yanke and said: "Brother Ling is really good at self-cultivation, if I have a younger brother like you, I will kick off the boat." ”
"Haha, Miss Zheng turned out to be not a pretending to be reserved, good, good!" Zhang Yanke clasped his hands and praised.
Zheng Haizhu said: "Why don't you let the little woman guess Brother Ling's real name?" Yanke's son is famous, and your generation wants to be a mountain character? Fang Cai called Brother Ling Zongzi again, how about Dai Zongfu, Qi Lu Qingwei, so, Brother Ling's name, is there a single Dai character? ”
It turned out that the Tao Gongzi who traveled with his mother's surname was the great genius of the late Ming Dynasty - Zhang Dai.
Zhang Dai thought in his heart, Du Fu's two poems are popular, since Miss Zheng is also from a scholar's family, it is not unusual to deduce her real name, so she nodded with a light smile: "Miss Zheng guessed right." ”
Zhang Yanke was even more interested: "The girl is so talented, then I will ask you to guess again." There is a famous prostitute Wang Yuesheng in Yingtianfu, who has a high temperament, and even if he accepts the vulgar guests who he doesn't look down on, he doesn't say a word when he accompanies them. A wealthy businessman easily invited her out of the museum, and after going to another business to accompany him for more than half a month, Wang Yuesheng actually opened his mouth to talk to him. The rich merchant was overjoyed, and leaned in and said, what do you say, be louder. Miss Zheng thinks what Wang Yuesheng said? ”
Zheng Haizhu said: "I guess, she only said two words: go home." ”
Zhang Yanke stared at his eyes and looked surprised: "Ouch, word for word, you, do you know Wang Yuesheng?" ”
Zheng Haizhu said in his heart, how do I know any famous prostitutes in Nanjing, it's not because your brother Zhang Dai is particularly able to write, from the official history to the prose travelogue, and then to the market style of the late Ming Dynasty, all through his pen, teaching us modern people to be immersive. The anecdote of the famous prostitute Wang Yuesheng, your brother wrote it in his "Dream Memories of Tao'an", so I know the answer. It's just that at this time, this collection of essays that amazed future generations has not yet come out.
Zheng Haizhu, who opened the perspective of God, made a sincere look and said to the Zhang brothers: "I came here from Fujian to beg for a living, and I have been to Suzhou in the north, and I have no luck to go to Nanjing to see." I just put myself in the woman's shoes and thought that at that time, what Wang Yuesheng was looking forward to the most was to go home. ”
Zhang Dai noticed that the girl in front of him had compassion for things hurting her, so he didn't want his younger brother to say this again, so he changed the topic and asked Zhang Yanke: "Third brother, have you found a good craftsman today?" ”
Zhang Yanke said proudly: "Sister loves pretty, bustards love money, famous craftsmen are also the same as famous prostitutes, there is enough silver, where will please not move." Brother Zongzi rest assured, this time I brought back the gardening craftsman in Sanyin, and I will teach my uncle to be satisfied. ”
Zhang Dai said: "Now that this matter has been done, it is still early, you can go with me to see Sister He." When you were a child, Sister He fed you medicine and porridge, and once she was affected by your epidemic and almost lost her life. ”
Zhang Yanke waved his hand again and again: "I won't go to the nunnery." I have to go to play horse tags after dinner, and when I meet a nun, I will lose every gamble. ”
After a slight pause, he took out a splendid bag from his arms, handed it to Zhang Dai and said, "Here are five taels of silver, you can say hello to Sister He for me." I didn't want to go, but I was afraid that I would be sad to see Sister He's bleak situation. ”
Zhang Dai shook his head, sighed, and took the silver.
When boarding the ship in the afternoon, Zhang Dai briefly told Zheng Haizhu that the person who went to visit the nunnery was called Sister He, who was the daughter of the old housekeeper of Zhang's house. When Sister He was fifteen or sixteen years old, she fell in love with the painter invited by the Zhang family, and the Zhang family let go of the deed and let Sister He marry. The painter took Sister He to Suzhou for ten years. When Sister He wrote a letter to Shanyin, the Zhang family learned that Sister He's husband and children had all died of the epidemic, and Sister He escaped into the empty door and went to a small nunnery in Songjiang Mansion with her master.
At this moment, Zheng Haizhu saw that Zhang Yanke took out a large amount of silver ingots, and said secretly, this boy who is full of fireworks and willow lanes and doesn't seem to be a serious person may not be a cold and ruthless person.
The water of the Moon River was sparkling, and there was a faint sense of coldness in the autumn wind, which was quickly washed away by the warm sun.
Zhang Yanke had no interest in talking to Zheng Haizhu, who was clearly identified as a maid of the Han Mansion, and turned his attention to a few Jiading bamboo carved pen holders that Zhang Dai had collected in Songjiang City.
In real history, Zhang Yanke is indeed a player with a wide range of interests, he loves to play everything, in order to have fun and ponder thoroughly, he can even take the Xuande furnace that he finally found to roast in the fire.
And Zhang Dai, in his collection of essays, spent a lot of time to record Zhang Yanke's life and interesting stories, it can be seen that he actually likes this cousin quite a lot.
On the Xiaoxian boat, Zheng Haizhu, who pretended to be a quiet observer, had already fluctuated several times.
In the late Ming Dynasty, there were many celebrities in Jiangnan. Taking root in Songjiang Mansion, there will be a big harvest, this is Zheng Haizhu's plan, and it is also the reason why she is determined to go north from Quanzhou after she crosses.
I didn't want to be able to get to know Zhang Dai and Zhang Yanke.
If the memory is not wrong, Zhang Dai Zhang Yanke's ancestor is an official, and his great-ancestor has won the champion, and the Zhang family not only has a deep foundation in Shaoxing Mansion, but also has friendship with the backbone of the Donglin Party and the Zhejiang Party. Zhang Yanke's father, Zhang Lianfang, is a collector and has a lot of money, otherwise he can't afford Zhang Yanke, a gentleman.
Zhang Dai's father, Zhang Yaofang, was a Pengguan of the Lu Wangfu in Shandong, and many years later the Qing army went south, and the King of Lu fled to Shaoxing. It can be seen that although Zhang Dai did not go well in the imperial examination and was a talent when he was old, his status as the grandson of Zhang's family has always been stable.
Zheng Haizhu looked back on the people who had formed friendships by his own efforts or by chance, and slowly calculated how to integrate these resources little by little.
