A few days after Ma Xianglin and his team left Songjiang Prefecture, Magistrate Wu returned and sent Weng Yuansheng, the scribe who had framed Dong Qichang and his son, to Yingtian Prefecture.
A month later, Wang Yinglin, the right deputy governor of the Nanjing Procuratorate, sent people to Songjiang and announced the court's attitude. He changed "civilian copying of Dong's house" to "scholar copying of Dong's house", saying that it was Weng Yuansheng, Fan Chang and others.
As a scholar, because of jealousy and hatred, he seized on small incidents, confused right and wrong, took advantage of the opportunity to incite and manipulate the villagers, and almost caused a catastrophe that shocked the scholars in the southeast.
Fan Chang died of illness for no apparent reason and will not be held accountable.
Weng Yuan promoted the stick leather.
Magistrate Wu was fined and retired from office due to old age, so he returned to Zhenjiang to build his retirement garden.
Tongzhi and Tongfan were transferred to neighboring states.
Such a result made the gentry and celebrities in Songjiang City see it in their eyes and understand it in their hearts.
It is said that the Holy Emperor has doted on the third prince for decades, and even went so far as to make enemies of many ministers in order to establish the crown prince. However, if the prince's teacher was wronged in his hometown, there would be big commotion in the capital.
It can be seen that among the capital and the court, neither the Crown Prince nor Prince Fu has an absolute advantage.
After this battle, Huang Zunsu quickly gained recognition from Songjiang officials and gentry.
Officials and gentry, first officials and then gentry, their elegance and elegance are all skin and lining, all based on careful study of the officialdom.
During routine social interactions, they reached a consensus on Huang Zunsu: It is not important how knowledgeable this newly arrived Jinshi is, nor is it important whether he will be able to hear a lawsuit and get out of jail; what is important is that when the house of a wealthy family is destroyed by the aggressive villagers,
When the barbarian husband and the green skins in the streets besieged him, Mr. Huang immediately went to bring in reinforcements, and they were elite soldiers wearing flying fish uniforms.
It can be seen that Mr. Huang, who has just put on the blue robe, can stand up for the officials and gentry, and he has people in the court.
When another report came from Beijing that Governor Shen, who bribed the bandits to kidnap Huang Zunsu, was dismissed from his post and investigated, even the prefect of Suzhou sent a general judge to Songjiang and told Songjiang to protect the safety of Huang Zunsu's family.
Therefore, when Huang Zunsu's wife and children came to Songjiang from Yuyao, Songjiang gave them a house adjacent to the Yamen, and there was an endless stream of gentry who came to congratulate and give gifts.
The Han family is naturally among them.
But the second master Han Zhongwen's rules and regulations were even more delicate than those of the Dong family who had received great favor from Huang Zunsu.
Others inquired and found out that Huang Zunsu knew the art of painting, so they all sent paintings by Shen Zhou or Tang Yin.
What Han Zhongwen sent was Xia Gui's "Dwelling in the Forest in Yanxiu".
Xia Gui was a painter at the Southern Song Dynasty Painting Academy and was as famous as Ma Yuan.
When Huang Zunsu saw that this was a painting from the Song Dynasty, how could it be compared to the recent Wu School painting? He repeatedly said that he did not dare to accept such a great gift.
Han Zhongwen explained sincerely that he and his wife regarded his niece Han Ximeng as the apple of their eye, and Huang Zunsu helped Han Ximeng to stop the evil bandits in a critical situation. If he was not grateful for this kindness, how could he be worthy of his brother and sister-in-law in the loess.
When it comes to the deceased, the deceased is the most important person, so Huang Zunsu can no longer refuse.
Han Zhongwen also mentioned in a loose way that his ancestors, after all, followed King Kang to migrate south to Hangzhou. The famous Southern Song Dynasty minister Han Yuzhou made the Han family reach its peak again and often received rewards from the palace. Therefore, there are authentic Song paintings in the family.
It is easier for the wealthy families in Susong area. Mr. Huang from Zhejiang must understand that he must not feel that this gift is too heavy.
When Han Zhongwen sent the painting to Huang's house, he ordered Zheng Haizhu to follow him.
Zheng Haizhu listened to Mr. Han's words and admired them in her heart.
After all, he is from a scholarly family, and he is well aware of the contempt chain of literati regarding works of art. He is also a businessman, and he is very sophisticated. His words bring him closer to the other party, and at the same time, he also shows his confidence.
A few days ago, when the new prefect of Songjiang, Zhuang Yuqing, took office, at the official reception banquet, Huang Zunsu mentioned to Zhuangfutai that the Han family had a maid named Zheng, who came from Zhangzhou and had contributed to the imperial court's suppression of bandits.
Zhuang Futai, who was also from Fujian, specially promised Han Zhongwen that there would be rewards in the mansion.
Therefore, when Han Zhongwen came to visit Huang Zunsu, he also brought Zheng Haizhu with him.
One is to ask her to thank Mr. Huang for his kind words in front of the mansion; the other is to ask her to take a photo of Han Ximeng with the Huang family's wife and children, say a few words, see the figure and appearance of mother and son, prepare rouge, gouache and
I have a good idea when it comes to brocade and robes. I will also give a special gift to the Huang family's back house, so that the female relatives 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 six years old, quiet and taciturn. At first glance, from her makeup, hairpin, to her clothes and shoes, she looked pure and quiet.
Like plum blossoms in the pale moon.
However, if you look closely, you will see that the objects in Yao's hands and outside are delicate yet gorgeous.
For example, the round fan that Yao is shaking has gorgeous begonia flowers on it, like clouds.
Another example is the silk handkerchief covering the dowry box, which is also more beautiful than the spring scenery in the garden.
After hearing this, Han Ximeng pursed his lips and smiled.
She revealed for a moment that her daughter liked to guess the temperament of other families, and said to Zheng Haizhu: "I guess she is a lively and lively woman, but she has been made cold by the strict and rigid Mr. Huang."
After thinking about it for a while, he and Zheng Haizhu arranged a few pieces of embroidery that could be given to the female relatives, plus two bellybands, one for the eldest son of the Huang family and the other for the newly born second son.
The eldest son of the Huang family is not Huang Zongxi.
Zheng Haizhu saw Huang Zongxi, a six-year-old boy, in the Huang Mansion today. He thought of the bitter and hateful old master in the middle school textbook illustrations of later generations, and found it quite interesting at the time.
When I heard the order, I was actually going to embroider the bellyband that I wore in my childhood for the famous thinker in the late Ming Dynasty, and I couldn't help laughing even more.
But in the end, he suppressed his laughter and went to look at a new painting that Han Ximeng placed next to the embroidery stand.
It was a copy of Tang Yin's painting "Sichuan Opera" that was copied by people at that time, and placed side by side with the Japanese ukiyo-e paintings brought back by Zheng Haizhu.
Han Ximeng came over with an embroidery box and said to Zheng Haizhu: "Azhu, look, does the woman in the Japanese painting look similar and different to the person painted by Tang Ziwei?"
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! Tang Yin's "Sichuan Opera" depicts the singers in the palace of Wang Yan, the leader of the Shu Kingdom before the Five Dynasties. In fact, it represents the common aesthetic standards for women in the Jiangnan area of the Ming Dynasty.
.
As a descendant of later generations, Zheng Haizhu can easily discover from the vantage point of having a comprehensive view of art history that in the six prefectures of Jiangnan in the Ming Dynasty, when the commodity economy was quite developed, even painters like Tang Yin who still had a literati background, painted women.
, in fact, it already has a very strong pyrotechnic atmosphere, which is in line with the taste of the new secular world. This, of course, has something in common with the Ukiyo painting style that began to appear in Japan at the same time.
Therefore, Zheng Haizhu expressed restrainedly: "Miss, they are a bit similar. Look at these two Shu girls, the smiles on their lips and the charming eyes are all very lively. The beauty in the colorful clothes in the Japanese painting is also
Same."
Han Ximeng nodded: "But the details are different. The women painted by Tang Ziwei were painted by scribes, and they were waiting for imperial edicts in the palace. Their postures were always restrained, but the women of the Japanese country were much more
It's very ostentatious and frivolous, I guess it comes from the beauty of Shili Qinhuai, but it's really cute."
Han Ximeng's frank comments really surprised Zheng Haizhu.
At the beginning, Han Ximeng was able to explain the Japanese plague without looking at the superficial appearance, which was enough to impress modern people like Zheng Haizhu.
What I didn't expect today was that she, a young lady who had not yet left the court, did not despise the brothel girls, but instead stamped her with the words "really cute".
Zheng Haizhu hurriedly acted as if she was startled, looked back at the women and maids sweeping outside the door, and reminded them softly: "Miss, stop talking!"
Han Ximeng glanced at her sideways and said disapprovingly: "What's the matter? How many wine-shop beauties were written about in the poems of the Tang Dynasty? How many prostitutes in brothels were written about in the poems of the Song Dynasty? Men with fame and official status can do it.
We women can’t even mention the beauties who are fair and square in appraising romantic places?”
She took a sip of tea and added: "Besides, when those men look at them, the top ones look at them because of love, while the bottom ones look at them because of lust. But when I look at them, they are appreciating the beauty of heaven and earth, and the grace of tempering in the rivers and lakes.
With all their vitality and lack of illness, aren't they better than those scribes and poets? I, not only do I want to criticize them, but I also want to embroider them!"
Zheng Haizhu gave a big thumbs up to this mistress in this world.
Compared with those grandmothers and ladies who rely on their fathers, brothers or husbands to live a life of fine clothing and fine food, but regard the lower-class women who work hard to make a living as dirty and unclean, Han Ximeng can be called a real celebrity.
