When Zhang Yuan was arguing with people from Qingpu Society and Fushui Shanfang Society about zhi in the Canglang Pavilion, Zhang Ruoxi and Mu Zhenzhen were lingering among the peonies and crabapples in the Shuixian Temple garden. Zhang Ruoxi was admiring the flowers and asking Mu Zhenzhen
Then, ask how this fallen girl ended up under her Zhang family?
Miss Zhang was as approachable as Young Master Zhang Yuan, which made Mu Zhenzhen feel happy. She started talking about the time when she was chased by a gangster while selling fruit in Dashan Temple, how Young Master Zhang Yuan helped her escape, and how he found Sandai Street and was kidnapped.
La bluff, she also paid for Dr. Lu to cure her father’s jaundice——
Zhang Ruoxi heard that Mu Zhenzhen knocked down several bullies with three punches and two kicks, and asked curiously: "Zhenzhen, do you know martial arts?" Mu Zhenzhen nodded shyly.
Zhang Ruoxi said: "No wonder Xiao Yuan brought you out, you are good at martial arts.
"Looking sideways at the fallen girl's snow-white cheeks and red lips, her slightly fluttering eyelashes glowed golden in the sun. She was strangely beautiful. Mu Zhenzhen was tall and tall, with big and nimble feet, but she was so timid.
Her shy attitude makes it hard to imagine that she has martial arts skills and can beat people~
Zhang Ruoxi remembered something and asked in a low voice: "Zhenzhen, tell me, has Xiaoyuan ever bullied you?" Mu Zhenzhen quickly shook his head and said: "No, no, how could the young master bully the maid? The young master is very good and caring to the maid.
." Zhang Ruoxi pursed her lips and smiled. Mu Zhenzhen didn't understand what she meant and couldn't ask directly, so he joked: "It must be because you are good at martial arts. Xiao Yuan didn't dare to bully you, otherwise he would have bullied you." Mu Zhen said
Zhen Zhen said with a smile at first: "How could it be possible? The young master will not bully the maid. If the maid does something wrong, the young master should be punished~
"Just as she was saying this, she suddenly thought that if the young master rolled his eyes at her, insulted her and bullied her like those bullies, what would she do?
Thinking about this column, her heart is like a knife. She will not be sad if others bully her. If even the young master bullies her, she will feel that everything in front of her has lost its color, and her heart is so painful that she will twitch. Mu Zhenzhen rarely sheds tears. This
Tears welled up in my eyes——
Ruoxi panicked and quickly comforted her: "Don't cry, don't cry, stop crying, little one."
I still bullied you, right? It hurts you to bully you, right? Well, this guy, I thought he had become more well-behaved, but why is he still so reckless...
Mu Zhenzhen burst into laughter again, thinking that she was really unreasonable. How could the young master bully her? This caused the eldest lady to misunderstand. She might blame the young master later and said hurriedly: "Miss, the young master did not bully the little maid.
Really do not have."
Zhang Ruoxi was puzzled and asked: "I didn't bully you, so why are you crying?"
Mu Zhen was really embarrassed and said: "My maid was so moved that she cried when she remembered how kind the young master was to me."
For some reason, Zhang Ruoxi blushed at what Mu Zhenzhen said, and changed the subject: "Let's go to the pavilion to see what they are saying. They seem to be reciting stereotypes. Oh, it's not the people from Qingpu Club who are reciting it.
, is from Suzhou, with a Suzhou accent." The two people walked to the Canglang Pavilion and took a look. On the pavilion were people from the two communities. Sitting or standing outside the pavilion were servants brought by Fushui Shanfang Society.
The two of them approached, and more than a dozen pairs of eyes came over. Mu Zhenzhen didn't care, but Zhang Ruoxi, who was dressed in men's clothing, couldn't stand being stared at like this. For fear of being exposed, she whispered: "Zhenzhen, let's go to the shrine first.
Go pay homage to Taihu Narcissus and come back later."
There are several couplets in the Narcissus Temple. The Taihu Narcissus enshrined in the main hall is a woman. She has a solemn appearance, but also has a charming appearance. Zhang Ruoxi and Mu Zhenzhen paid their respects. After turning to the throne, there was a young woman sitting behind to rest.
, there are several maidservants and servants accompanying him. These are the female relatives of Yang Shixiang. Yang Shixiang told the temple blessing that no one else would be allowed in except a group of people attending the cultural gathering today, so he asked his wife and daughter to follow him to visit Narcissus.
There were more than ten maidservants following the temple. When Zhang Ruoxi saw a young woman and young girl here, she suddenly forgot that she was pretending to be a man. She stepped forward and asked with a smile: "Are you here to visit the garden? The peonies are blooming just right, and the begonias are half withered."
"When he approached the young man, his little feet were not stable, and he leaned to one side, so his hands naturally pressed on the young man's shoulders to stabilize his body. The young man and the maid behind him both screamed in fright, and a thick servant was angry.
He said: "Where did you come from? You dare to molest my young mistress." He rushed over and punched Zhang Ruoxi and hit him. Mu Zhenzhen had quick eyes and quick hands. He supported Zhang Ruoxi with one hand and blocked the punch from the servant with the other hand. The servant used all his strength.
He was too violent and staggered a few steps, almost falling down.
The young man and the young girl both stood up and glared at Zhang Ruoxi, and a maid shouted: "My maid, go and call someone." The Yang family's male servant was outside the palace.
Zhang Ruoxi saw that things were going to be a big deal, so she quickly took off her Han scarf and said, "Misunderstanding, misunderstanding, I am also a woman."
Zhang Ruoxi wore her nose and hair in a bun today, which was hard to win people over. She quickly supported Mu Zhenzhen with one hand, crossed one foot, took off her butterfly shoes, and exposed her small bow shoes——
The young master and the maids and servants were all astonished. The young master turned from anger to joy and asked: "Whose female family are you?" He ordered the servant to show Zhang Ruoxi the seat -
Zhang Ruoxi sat down and said, "I am Lu Sheng's wife, and my surname is Zhang."
The young man said, "My husband's surname is Yang. He is hosting the cultural gathering today. The husband of the Lu family is also here to participate in the cultural gathering."
Zhang Ruoxi said: "Yes, my brother is also in Canglang Pavilion.
The young master's surname was Qin. He was very happy to meet Zhang Ruoxi and said with a smile: "The Lu family is brave and dares to pretend to be a man and travel, but I don't dare."
Zhang Ruoxi raised a finger to the side of the bed and said: "Shh, don't make any noise. If the elders in the family find out, they will be scolded." Young Master Qin and her daughter both laughed, and Mrs. Qin asked the servant to serve it.
I invited Zhang Ruoxi to have some tea and chatted in a very affectionate manner.
After sitting for a while, Zhang Ruoxi said: "How about we go now? Madam Yang, let's go too." Ms. Qin smiled and shook her head and said: "I don't dare to go. My husband will scold me when he sees it. When the wedding party is over,
Let's go see Shaoyao again, Madam Lu will see you more often in the future."
Zhang Ruoxi and Mu Zhenzhen walked out of the temple, Zhang Ruoxi chuckled and said: "If Zhenzhen hadn't blocked it for me, I would have been beaten as if I were Meng Langdeng's disciple. This man is not that easy to pretend.
"
Mu Zhenzhen smiled and said: "Don't be afraid, I won't hurt the eldest lady."
In the Canglang Pavilion, Fan Wenruo, the leader of the Fushui Shanfang Society, finished reciting his first provincial examination performance "Being Fearful of the People's Will" loudly. He took a few breaths and looked down at the people in the Qingpu Society. He glanced at Zhang Yuan again, smiled contemptuously, but
Then he pretended to be humble and said: "This is an old work, not worth a glance. Please give me your review." He returned to the west and sat down, waiting for the other party to praise him.
Yang Shixiang was about to express his praise when Zhang Yuan said: "Wait a minute~
" He raised his hands and asked Fan Wenruo: "Has Fan Juren's art work ever been published in Shaoxing Prefecture?" Fan Wenruo said: "As far as I know, Shaoxing Prefecture cannot see my art work.
In my Fushui Bookstore, I only printed the album and did not market it outside. "Suzhou belongs to Nanzhili, Shaoxing is Zhejiang, Fan Wenruo took the provincial examination in Nanjing, and Shaoxing people went to Hangzhou to take the provincial examination, and Shaoxing bookstores rushed to publish it.
They are all ink rolls from the Hangzhou Provincial Examination and the Hangzhou Provincial Examination. Ink rolls from other provinces will not be engraved because they cannot be sold. Each province has its own writing style. The examiner of the Provincial Examination must also consider the different writing styles of each province when selecting candidates~
Zhang Yuandao: "That's strange. Why have I read this eight-legged essay in a collection called "Eight Hundred Questions on Essays from the Keyitang Period"?"
Fan Wenruo asked in doubt: ""Eight Hundred Titles of Shiwen of Keyi Hall", is there such a book? How come I don't know about it?" Fan Wenruo opened a bookstore. What major collection of contemporary articles was produced in the bookstore south of the river?
He must know that "Eight Hundred Questions of Shi Wen" must be a tome with dozens of volumes. How could he not know? Moreover, the name of the bookstore Keyitang is not familiar to him. Maybe it is a small bookstore, but he heard Zhang
Yuan said: "The article "Being fearful of the people's will" in the Keyitang anthology is similar to the "Great fear of the people's will" that Fan Juren just recited, but I think the one in the Keyitang anthology is more subtle and cold.
Jun, and the annotation at the end of the article said that it was the ink scroll of the top three in the provincial examination in a certain place during the Zhengde period." Fan Wenruo stood up with a leap, pointed his halberd at Zhang Yuan, and said sternly: "Boy Zhang Yuan, if you don't put that ink scroll today
If you hand over "Eight Hundred Questions on Keyi Hall's Essays" for verification, I will take you to see the official. You are insulting my first skill in the provincial examination and plagiarizing it. I swear to be incompatible with you."
Lu Tao, Yang Shixiang and others were all shocked. They falsely accused Zhang Yuan of plagiarism. Zhang Yuan was in too much trouble. If he were to meet an official, Zhang Yuan would definitely get slapped. Lu Tao stepped forward and said,
He wanted to beg for mercy, but he saw Zhang Yuan calmly said: "Why bother to go to the official? If this matter goes to the official, it will cause a big fuss. It will damage the reputation of Yu Fan. Please be magnanimous and don't be angry for now. Let me finish my words."
Fan Wenruo was extremely angry and said sternly: "Say, you say, if you don't come up with evidence today, I will never let it go."
Zhang Yuandao: "Since I have read this article about "Dawei Minzhi", of course I will provide evidence, but I can't get out the book "Eight Hundred Questions on Keyitang Shiwen" now, which is far away.
I was in Shanyin, and I read it a few years ago. I don’t know where it was thrown away. Don’t worry, listen to me. I don’t have a book, but I remember the craftsmanship article clearly. I can recite it on the spot.”
When Fan Wenruo heard what Zhang Yuan said, his heart trembled, and he sneered: "Since my writing is a provincial examination ink scroll, it is possible that it will be spread to Shanyin. It happened to be read by you, and it happened to be remembered by you. Today I will
Are you trying to humiliate me with this clumsy trick?"
Zhang Yuan said calmly: "I asked you earlier, you said that this piece of craftsmanship will not be available in Shaoxing, and now you say that it is, okay, I won't argue with you about this, I will only recite this article that I remember.
Zhiyi, how about I let you hear how it is similar to and different from Fan Juren's article?" No one dared to speak.
Fan Wenruo stared at Zhang Yuan, nodded bitterly and said: "Okay, great, let everyone listen to your article "Fearing the People", what is it like, what is the exquisite cold Jun method, let's see who it is.
