Wang Yingzi took a closer look and said, "Leave a letter for my father. What can I do..."
Zhang Yuandao: "I'm going to Songjiang in two days, so I have to inform the teacher."
Wang Yingzi was surprised and said, "The examination will be held in April!" Zhang Yuan smiled and said, "My brother-in-law always goes to congratulate him on his thirtieth birthday. If he goes back and forth for a month, he can make it back in time."
Hearing what Zhang Yuan said, Wang Yingzi frowned and said, "My father also went to Xiaoshan to visit my brother-in-law. He said he was ill and that he was seriously ill."
Zhang Yuan said: "Then we have to wait for medical diagnosis and treatment quickly. Do you want to ask Mr. Lu Yungu to go there?" Wang Yingzi smiled "chi" and said: "Lu Yungu cured your eye disease, do you think he can?"
It can cure all diseases. Luyungu mainly treats pediatrics, who knows." Zhang Yuan smiled and continued to write under Wang Yingzi's gaze, but Wang Yingzi said: "Senior Brother Jiezi, if you are here
Songjiang was delayed and couldn't come back before the government examination. How about I take the examination for you?" Zhang Yuan suddenly stopped and paused heavily on the word "大" he was writing, like a fugitive with bound feet.
The feet were very ugly and she said: "Oops, I have to rewrite it." Wang Yingzi looked closely at "Gege"'s smile and said: "No need to rewrite it, just wait a moment." She quickly left the study, her footsteps far away.
Go, after a while, footsteps started again, Wang Yingzi appeared at the door of the study, raised something in his hand, and asked with a smile: "Do you know what this is?" Zhang Yuan took a look, and it looked like a piece of ink, but it looked like a piece of ink.
It was light yellow in color. She shook her head and said, "I don't know." Wang Yingzi walked to the desk and dipped the piece of yellow ink in some water. When she painted on the word "big" written by Zhang Yuan, there was a layer of light yellow color.
Covering the ink characters, he smiled widely and said, "Now do you know what this is?"
Zhang Yuan said with a smile: "Opipient, just talk about it."
Wang Yingzi said with a smile: "By the way, even orpiment, my father didn't use it before. He only used it last year when he was writing scriptures for the old monks of Yanqing Temple."
Zhang Yuan said: "I'd better rewrite it, otherwise Teacher Wang will scold me when he sees that I have to change these few words." He took a piece of paper and rewrote it.
Wang Yingzi said: "Senior Brother Jiezi's regular script has made great progress."
Zhang Yuan responded casually while copying the letter: "Thank you, junior sister, for the compliment."
Wang Yingzi said: "Senior Brother Jiezi, do you think I can pass the government examination if I take part in it for you?"
Zhang Yuan thought to himself: "Why are you still talking about this?" He said: "I will definitely win." Then he asked: "Junior sister, haven't you seen the scene of the scientific examination?"
Wang Yingzi said: "I went to see my eldest brother when he took the Taoist test a few years ago. There were tens of thousands of people. The test took place in two counties and eight counties in Shaoxing Prefecture. It took four days and there was also a search when entering."
At this point, Miss Wang Yingzi suddenly realized why Zhang Yuan's expression was so weird just now, and her face instantly turned red.
Zhang Yuan didn't seem to notice her blushing and concentrated on writing while saying: "Yes, this time the government examination is scheduled to take place on the ninth day of April in the two counties of Kuaiji. There are about 3,000 candidates in these two counties alone."
, the examination booth will be overcrowded by then." He finished the letter in a moment, handed it to Wang Yingzi and said: "Junior sister, please give it to the teacher. I will leave now and come to see the teacher when I come back from Songjiang." Wang Yingzi said.
The redness on his face had not faded yet, so he responded: "I wish senior brother Jiezi a safe return."
Zhang Yuan bowed his head and left the study. As he walked, he thought: "There is a play called "Female Consort". Is it possible that a talented girl goes all the way to find a husband and gets the first prize? That requires undressing and inspection, and it's just a child test.
, it is said that in the Provincial Examination, even the short hair was not allowed during the general examination, and everyone had to strip naked. How could a woman get through it? Well, there was a female champion in the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom, but it was done randomly at that time, and there was no so-called equality between men and women...
"
Then I thought: "It's actually okay for Junior Sister Yingzi to take the exam. She took the exam a few years ago when she was still under development. The short ku is reserved. The top is flat and you can get through it. Now, uh"
Zhang Yuan shook his head and stopped thinking about it. If he thought about it again, he would feel obscene. He took Mu Jingyan and Wu Ling out of Teacher Wang's house and walked around to the west bank of Dongdachi for more than two miles and then turned west.
They soon arrived in front of the Shang family's gate. Shang Zhoude welcomed him into the main hall and said with a smile: "I guess you will be here by now. I am going to send my sister-in-law and Xiaolan off tomorrow. Xiaohui was originally going to send them to the capital."
I was coming back from Hangzhou, but I thought that my sister-in-law was a female prostitute and her two children were still young. Although I had a housekeeper to take care of me and a maid to serve me, I still felt uneasy, so I decided to go all the way to the capital. The round trip would take three or four months.
Well, what makes me happy is that I received good news about your county examination case yesterday. It's very good. I just happened to go and report the good news to my eldest brother." Zhang Yuan said, "Then I'll come back tomorrow to see you off." He told Shang Zhoude that he would also come in the near future.
When going to Songjiang, Shang Zhoude asked Zhang Yuan when he was going to leave. Zhang Yuan said: "We will leave early in the morning on the 20th, because February 19th is Dan Ran's birthday." Shang Zhoude said with a smile: "Jiezi is so thoughtful, I have even forgotten my little sister's birthday.
, it was my birthday, no one reminded me, so I didn’t remember it.
Shaoxing people call birthdays that fall outside the tenth birthday as free birthdays and do not pay much attention to them.
Shang Zhoude asked Zhang Yuan to sit down for a while. He went in to talk about something. After a while, he came out and said: "I have told my sister-in-law that I will wait until Dan Ran's birthday before setting off. I don't know when my sister-in-law and the others will come back after this trip. They are on their way.
Don’t fight for these few days…
It was almost dusk, Shang and Zhou De stayed for dinner. After dinner, Shang and Zhou De sent a boat to take Zhang Yuan and his three servants to Bashi Bridge in Shanyin. Zhang Yuan did not see Shang Danran this time. Maybe Shang and Zhou De considered it too late.
, unmarried men and women meet indecently. When Zhang Yuan landed at Bashi Bridge, he saw the huge and plump full moon in the clear night sky. The moon is fifteen and sixteen, and he felt a little let down by such a good moon. When can he be with Indane?
How about admiring the moon together?
On February 19th, Shang Danran's birthday, Zhang Yuan arrived at the Shang family's mansion early in the morning and saw a busy scene in front of the Shang family's gate. Two carriages were waiting by the wall gate. When the Shang family's maids saw Zhang Yuan, they all said happily:
"Master Zhang is here. Master Zhang is here. It's time to leave."
Zhang Yuan asked where to go? The answer was that today is the Guanyin meeting at Xinghuā Temple. Miss Dan Ran was born today, so it is most auspicious to go to Xinghuā Temple to offer incense.
Zhang Yuan smiled and said: "My mother also went to Dashan Temple early this morning. There is also a Guanyin Meeting in Dashan Temple.
Shang Zhoude came over and said: "Today is the birthday of Guanyin. Many temples have Guanyin meetings. Speaking of it, Xinghuā Temple is just a small temple, because apricot trees are planted all around the temple. The spring is warm in February, and apricot flowers are in full bloom.
At that time, ladies and gentlemen from Kuaiji went out one after another to enjoy the flowers, and naturally they also went to the temple to burn incense and rejoice, so the Guanyin Festival in February at Xinghuā Temple was very famous."
Shang Danran came out accompanied by two maids. His green lotus-colored spring dress was brand new, his features were picturesque and his face was radiant. He glanced shyly at Zhang Yuanfu beside the carriage, his bright eyes, and then got up.
As the car went, the little sisters Jinglan and Jinghui also went to Zhang Yuanfu, riding in the same car with Aunt Danran, while Fu and Qi took another car.
Shang Zhoude asked Zhang Yuan if he wanted to take a rattan sedan. Zhang Yuan said: "It's just a good place to walk to enjoy the scenery, and it doesn't take a three-mile detour." He followed the carriage and walked quickly. As soon as he turned to the west bank of Dongdachi, he saw a boat with a awning beside the pier.
A young man jumped on the boat, but it was Qi Biaojia.
Zhang Yuan cupped his hands and said with a smile: "Brother Huzi is here too?"
Qi Biaojia felt a little embarrassed when he saw Zhang Yuan, but now he is still his equal. In two years, when he gets engaged to Miss Shang Jinglan, he will change his name to Zhang Yuan's uncle. This is really a generation shorter out of thin air.
Qi Biaojia returned the gift to Zhang Yuan, and also paid tribute to Shang Zhoude, cousin Qi and others, and then went to Xinghuā Temple together. On the way, Qi Biaojia said to Zhang Yuan: "Brother Jiezi, Mr. Qidong is leaving the mountain this afternoon.
When you come to Beijing, won't Brother Jie go to see you off?"
Zhang Yuandao: "Is Mr. Qidong going to Beijing too? He must go to see him off."
Qi Biaojia said: "A document was sent from the Ministry of Civil Affairs, appointing Mr. Liu as Sizheng of the Pingren Division, and there was also a personal letter from Ye Shoufu. Mr. Liu had no choice but to go to Beijing in response to the imperial edict.
"He added: "Mr. Liu will first go to Wuxi Donglin Academy to visit friends, and then go to Beijing."
Zhang Yuan said: "Okay, I'll rush over there later. Is it at Dashan Temple?"
Qi Biaojia said: "Mr. Liu wants to cross the Yuewang Bridge. You can just wait by the bridge in the afternoon. I will wait with you."
While talking, I arrived outside the Xinghua Temple early. I saw red and white apricot flowers like clouds and brocade, which made a small temple very interesting. There were like clouds of pilgrims and bursts of Sanskrit music. Those pilgrims came out after offering incense in the temple.
Most of the people hanging around under the huā trees are in pairs, including young men and women, as well as village husbands and wives. People in Jiangnan generally believe that Guanyin Bodhisattva specializes in praying for children and fertility, so many of the pilgrims who come to the Guanyin Society to offer incense come to pray for children.
, Mrs. Fu, wife of Qu of the Shang and Zhou dynasties, was about to go to Beijing to meet her husband, so she prayed for an heir and even knelt down devoutly...
Shang Danran wore a wide-brimmed curtain hat and veil today. It must have been because he was spotted by Meng Lang's disciples in Longshan last time, so he deliberately concealed his appearance this time. However, in Zhang Yuan's view, such concealment was actually a sign of embarrassment.
Gai Mizhang, Shang Danran's beauty is not just in one face, she is beautiful everywhere. After Fu and Qi kowtowed, they smiled and greeted Zhang Yuan and Shang Danran to come and worship the Bodhisattva. Zhang Yuan and Shang Danran then worshiped. Fu
He exchanged glances with Mr. Qi and smiled secretly in his heart.
After leaving the Xinghua Temple, he lingered under the flowers to admire the flowers. The apricot flowers here are quite famous, and there are several flowers of mixed colors, extremely gorgeous. Zhang Yuan looked at Shang Danran under the flower tree. The spring breeze lifted a corner of her veil.
The bright appearance is more beautiful than Huājiāo.
After lingering for half an hour, the group went back. Of course, Shang Zhoude wanted to invite Zhang Yuan and Qi Biaojia to the house for a banquet. They had already prepared it. Zhang Yuan asked Brother Shang to wait for a while. He went to the banquet near Xinghuā Temple.
Wang Siren's family went to ask for information. The old man said that the master had not returned from Xiaoshan, so Zhang Yuan did not go in. He and Qi Biaojia went to the Shang family mansion for a banquet. Because they had to rush to see off Liu Zongzhou, they only hurriedly drank some food and wine.
So he and Qi Biaojia jogged all the way to Yuewang Bridge on the Fu River, waiting for Liu Zongzhou to pass by.
After waiting for about half an hour, I saw Mr. Liu Zongzhou riding a donkey from a distance, followed by a servant and luggage Xiao Ran, and they were on their way.
