Everyone in Xia Shuangxuan paid attention to Zhang Yuan. Zhang Yuan faced Zhang Rulin and said, "Uncle, I have indeed seen "The Plum in the Golden Vase"——"
"Zhang E must have stolen it for you to see." Zhang Rulin angrily interrupted Zhang Yuan.
"No." Zhang Yuan said: "This junior has read the entire version of "The Golden Ping Mei", which is one hundred chapters."
Zhang Rulin frowned slightly. He got Yuan Hongdao's handwritten copy of "Jin Ping Mei" from Xie Zhaozhe, the head of the Nanjing Ministry of Industry, in three volumes, with a total of thirty chapters. It was obviously not the complete copy. Yuan Hongdao did not seem to have seen the complete copy. Zhang Yuan The boy dared to say that he had read a hundred chapters, and sneered: "There are actually a hundred chapters of "Water Margin of Loyalty and Righteousness"."
Zhang Yuandao: "The one hundred chapters of "Jin Ping Mei" are like thousands of needles and thousands of threads coming out of the same thread, and there are countless twists and turns without revealing a single thread. It writes about adulterers and adulterers, corrupt officials and evil servants, and prostitutes. It is so vivid that it is as if it is before my eyes. I think the author Without going through hardships and sorrows, without experiencing human feelings and the world, I would never be able to write such a wonderful article."
As soon as these words came out, Zhang Rulin was shocked. This was really something that could only be said by someone who had seen "The Golden Lotus" and understood it. But it was really strange for this fifteen-year-old boy to talk about "The Golden Lotus" in front of him. He shouted: "Where did you read this book? You are so ridiculous at a young age!"
Zhang Yuan hesitated for a moment, and Zhang E answered on his behalf: "Master, Jie Zi turned on Su Hui because of his eye disease. He had seen "The Plum in the Golden Lotus" in his previous life."
"Nonsense." Zhang Rulin stepped forward and gave Zhang E a big slap in the face.
Zhang E hid behind him and shouted: "Father, everything my grandson said is true. Isn't Jiezi here? I'll know it as soon as I ask."
Zhang Yuan bowed and said: "Uncle, I have indeed seen "The Golden Lotus", but I can't remember where I saw it. I can only rely on it in my previous life." It shouldn't be difficult for people in the Ming Dynasty to believe this, and he said: "My great-uncle said that it was absurd for the younger generation to read "Jin Ping Mei". The younger generation doesn't know where the absurdity lies? The younger generation is young and can't understand any of the obscene things in the book. They read them all. The younger generation only reads the human relations and the world, the cause and effect, the joys and sorrows in the book. "
Zhang E secretly praised in his heart: "Jie Zi, you really lied in front of my eldest father, your face didn't change, your heart didn't beat. You couldn't understand anything and skipped it all. Hehe, I read about Ximen Daguanren that day. You immediately stopped touching Li Ping'er's big white buttocks. You know very well and are embarrassed."
They were all people who had been through this, and no one had been a teenager. Zhang Rulin naturally didn’t believe that the fifteen-year-old Zhang Yuan would “turn over all the indecent acts” when he saw them. But when Zhang Yuan said this, he couldn’t blame him any more, and said: “As you said, I have read the 100-chapter version of "Jin Ping Mei", so let me ask you, what is the ending of this book?"
Zhang Yuandao: "Of course he died because of indulgence and his wife and children were separated."
Zhang Rulin was silent, thinking carefully about the story of Ximen Qing's rise to fame. He bullied men, dominated women, and enjoyed himself excessively. It is natural that prosperity will inevitably decline, and families will be destroyed.——
Qi Biaojia, who had been silent all this time, suddenly said: "Isn't it said that Brother Jie has learned to recite it by ear? Just recite the hundredth chapter, and Brother Yanke will not be blamed." This little prodigy has been thinking about it. Zhang Yuan has always remembered what he has heard, and I really want to see it.
Zhang Rulin said: "That's right, Zhang Yuan, please recite the last chapter of "Jin Ping Mei" and listen to it."
Zhang Yuan thought to himself: "You ask me to recite the million-word "Jin Ping Mei", I am an immortal." He said, "I'm sorry, my uncle, I can't recite it."
Zhang E was anxious: "Jiezi, you can recite it by ear."
Zhang Yuandao: "No one has read "Jin Ping Mei" to me."
Zhang Rulin snorted and said: "So as long as someone reads it to you, you can recite it. Well, the tenth play of "The Peony Pavilion" "The Dream" was just performed on the stage.
If you heard a sentence clearly, recite it and listen to it."
When he said this, Zhang Rulin shook his head and smiled bitterly at Wang Siren, which naturally meant that his grandchildren had made a fool of themselves and made Wang Siren laugh.
But Zhang Yuan said calmly and calmly: "Juniors can try to recite it." He took a deep breath and slowly recited:
"The orioles are chirping in my dream, and the years are full of chaos. People stand in small courtyards and deep courtyards. The smoke is gone from the sticks, and the remaining embroidery threads are thrown away. The love this spring is like last year? When dawn comes, I look across the plum gate, and the makeup is still there. You look sideways
The bun in Yichun is just right. The knots are constantly broken, and the arrangement is still messy. It is boring for no reason. I have paid for the flowering orioles to take advantage of the spring to see the flowers. The spring fragrance, have you asked someone to sweep the flower path? I paid for it. Get the mirror stand and clothes..."
Just like this, I recited it all the way, and I actually recited the more than 2,000 words of "A Dream in the Garden" word for word.
Wang Siren looked at the young Zhang Yuan and said repeatedly: "What a strange thing, what a strange thing!" The handsome young man behind him also stared at Zhang Yuan with wide eyes.
Zhang Rulin still didn’t quite believe that Zhang Yuan had the ability to recite music by ear. The vocal performers of the "Keshiban" often auditioned for "The Peony Pavilion" in the back garden of Xi Zhang. It was not surprising that Zhang Yuan was familiar with it and said: "Zhang Yuan
, I also want to give you a test——" He turned to Wang Siren and said: "Jian'an, how about you come up with the test?"
Wang Siren was very interested in Zhang Yuan, nodded and said: "Okay, I will recite a short essay of 300 words, nephew, please listen carefully -" he read aloud:
"Wherever you are thirsty in the capital, you will be happy when you get water. There is a full well five miles outside the Anding Gate. In the early spring, ladies and gentlemen gathered together, so I and Wu friend Zhang Du went to see it. There is a pavilion with a well, which is five feet wide, with four depressions in the middle.
, hence the name. It has a full appearance, with springs protruding like pearls running through it, like eyes wide open, and like fishing foam spitting out, with vines and grass coverings moistening it. Visitors are from the middle to the upper to the outer to the lower, and those in the middle will be hats.
, those who bear the burden, those who sit on straw mats, those who hook their necks and shoulders, and those who walk in different directions, talking noisily. Those who sell food and drink, invite the river for good cooking, good wine, good rice, and good fruits. There are expensive offerings, and there are cheap ones.
The powerful ones are close and the weak ones are far away. The slaves of the Huo family are very angry when expelling them. There are fathers and sons arguing with each other, couples exhorting people to reward each other, there are servant girls with high buns, looking for shoes and earrings, and there are also drunken men who are angry and cause trouble to others.
And Jue Yao accompanied the beggar. It is said that in the past, a woman gave birth here, and the old women undressed her undergarment. They looked at it and laughed. But what I saw was that there was a soft but not strong donkey, Jue Yao picked it up.
After leaving, there were also those whose legs were twitched and fell, and who looked up to the sky and exposed their ugly faces. There were also some who were intimidating and tyrannical, forcibly taking people's clothes, or raping their wives and daughters. There were also those who were irritated by others, fighting and bleeding, and breaking and wounding to the death. A country
I was confused and crazy. I drank with Zhang Youjia under a reed cover and returned after seeing all the tricks."
Zhang Yuan naturally closed his eyes and smiled and listened. This travel note was too familiar. It was "Travel Notes on Man Wells" written by Wang Siren, one of the excellent essays in the late Ming Dynasty. Yuan Hongdao, who was a few years older than Wang Siren, also wrote "Travel Notes on Man Wells".
”, Yuan Wen seems to be more famous, but Zhang originally thought that the two travel notes of the same name each have their own merits. Wang Wen’s description of the world is vivid and lively, and Yuan Wen’s description of the scenery is beautiful, fresh and elegant.
For example, Zhu Ziqing and Yu Pingbo, two famous writers from the 54th Five-Year Plan, traveled to the Qinhuai River in Nanjing and wrote the essay of the same name "Qinhuai River in the Sound of Oars and Lights". It is interesting to compare them.
Of course Zhang Yuan had no problem reciting this less than 300-word "Travel Notes on Manjing". Now Zhang Rulin finally believed it and said with a smile: "Zhang Ruiyang has given birth to a good son. With such a talent, it is impossible not to study for progress."
A waste of natural resources.”
Zhang E just hoped that his eldest father would forget about punishing him, and said: "Dad, my grandson also knows friendship. A few days ago, Jiezi had an eye disease and was unable to read. My grandson asked Fan Zhen, Zhan Shiyuan and others to take turns reading to Jiezi, and he was so eloquent.
I have finished reading the ten volumes of "Collection and Commentary of the Spring and Autumn Classics", and now I am starting to read again - Jiezi, what books have you listened to recently?"
Zhang Yuan replied: ""Chun Qiu Fan Lu" and "Chun Qiu Gu Liang Zhuan Shu".
Zhang E said: "Yes, these two books, Jiezi can remember them after listening to them once. If he reads them by himself, he is just like ordinary people."
Zhang Rulin said to Zhang Dai: "Please treat your classmates and friends well. Also, go and tell the dining class that 'Jing Meng' will be performed again. Mr. Jian'an wants to watch it." He looked at Zhang Yuan and said, "You come with my uncle."
He made a "please" gesture to Wang Siren and returned to Shouhuatang side by side with Wang Siren.
Zhang Yuan knew that this clan uncle wanted to ask him something alone, so he followed him. Zhang E pulled the sleeves of his robe from behind, bowed his hands, and begged Zhang Yuan to help him cover up. Zhang Yuan nodded.
Zhang E immediately ordered a smart boy to rush back home, determined to find the three volumes of "Jin Ping Mei", and then put them back in another place in the eldest father's bedroom. As long as he found the books, it would be easy. He would then bribe the eldest father's side.
Maid, give the maid some money and things, and ask the maid to tell the eldest father that the three volumes were put in another place when she was making the bed——
