Zhang Yuan did not stay at the Weaving Department for dinner. Instead, he took Mu Zhenzhen and Wu Ling and hurried to Juran Thatched Cottage at the foot of Binping Mountain. Eight months later, the scene at Juran Thatched Cottage was very different. Students from all over the world came here to study, and the thatched cottage could not accommodate them.
, only for expansion, Luo Xuanfu, who came from a well-off family, spent 200 taels of silver to build a new school hall on the left side of Benyun Stone, which can accommodate hundreds of students. At this time, the sun was setting, and the bells of Jingci Temple rang leisurely.
The buzzing sound of the bell is about to end, and the last bell can be heard, which is sudden, ethereal, and wonderful.
Mr. Huang Yuyong is not in the thatched cottage. Mr. Yuyong usually does not teach in the afternoon. He only gives students questions to write essays. At this time, hundreds of students in the spacious lecture hall have completed their respective crafts and are gathering in groups to debate and chat.
, flowers, birds, insects, fish, whatever, Zhang Dai, Jiao Runsheng, Luo Xuanfu and others discussed the time, Zhang E could also find a confidant, chatting and laughing quietly with several young students in the corner of the lecture hall, watching Zhang E smile
Being so obscene, he must be exploring the secrets of the beauties on the West Lake flower boats. Zhang E has been to Hangzhou before and has a lot to talk about——[]
Zhang Yuan studied in the Thatched Cottage last autumn and had good friendships with more than 20 students in the school. The collection of Zhang Yuan's works compiled by Fan Wenruo has been widely circulated. Now, with the reputation of Xiao Sanyuan and the beating of Dong Zuchang, it is naturally more and more popular.
The appearance attracted people's attention. As soon as they arrived at the thatched cottage hall, the students who were meeting for the first time were quite surprised when they heard that this young scholar was Shanyin Zhang Yuan. They did not expect that Zhang Yuan, who seemed to be gentle and gentle, would beat people violently and beat him.
The son of the famous Dong Qichang was able to act as if nothing had happened, and he was indeed very capable. However, Zhang Yuan socialized and entertained, and was so well-rounded that everyone felt that the young and successful Zhang Yuan was modest, polite, without arrogance, and worthy of friendship. They all came forward to report themselves to the county.
No. Name——
Father Luo Xuan said loudly: "My classmates, I have heard for a long time that Zhang Jiezi has the ability to remember what he has heard and remember, but I have never learned about it. Today, I will test him. There are about seventy people present and this is the first time for Zhang Yuan to meet each other."
Report the name of the county and see if Zhang Yuan's memory is correct. If there is a mistake, the three Zhang brothers will be punished and everyone here will go to the restaurant outside Yongjin Gate to drink and have fun.
Zhang Yuan said with a smile: "Brother Luo wants to test me, so I'll give it a try. If I make any mistakes, I'll be punished with drinking at the banquet."
Everyone felt that it was extremely difficult to remember the names and faces of more than seventy strangers at once. It was more difficult than memorizing an eight-part essay on the spot. But since Zhang Yuan agreed and the whole family had fun together, why not do it?
, they stepped forward one by one to Zhang Yuan and reported their county names and names. Zhang Yuan returned the gifts one by one. More than 70 people quickly finished reporting their county names and names——
Luo Xuanfu stepped forward with a smile and said: "The exam has begun." He walked up to a student with a slightly yellow complexion, took the student's hand and faced Zhang Yuan, and asked: "Brother Jiezi, who is this?"
Zhang Yuan bowed his head and said: "Uncle Chen Mu on the rooftop, brother Chen."
Uncle Chen Mu returned the favor with a smile.
Father Luo Xuan asked seven more people about Zhang Yuan's appearance and Taoist names. However, he heard a lot of admiration and it was obvious that Zhang Yuan answered correctly. Zhang Yuan's super memory impressed everyone present.
It's impossible to ask more than seventy people one by one. That would be too silly and boring. Zhang Yuan and Zhang Dai arranged this to make friends with these people. Treating guests to drinks is the right way. When Father Luo Xuan asked about the ninth person, this person was exactly
Zhang Yuan's previous acquaintance was from the Jinlang House of Fushui Shanfang Club in Suzhou. In Huating last June, he and Fan Wenruo came to Shanyin to visit Zhang Yuan. They had an extraordinary friendship with Zhang Yuan. Zhang Yuan stepped forward with a smile and insisted on Jinlang.
He said with his hand: "Brother Mo Zhaike, let me mistake you, otherwise the test will be endless and everyone will be bored."
Heizhaike was Jin Langzhi's nickname. Jin Langzhi laughed loudly and said to Luo Xuan's father: "Zhang Jiezi misremembered my name. I punished him for treating me to a drink."
All the students present cheered loudly and immediately left the lecture hall and headed outside Yongjin Gate. Most of the students stayed in private homes from outside Yongjin Gate to Nanping Mountain, and some lived in Chengxi Inn. There were nearly a hundred students in a huge crowd.
, walked eight miles and arrived outside Yongjin Gate. Zhang Dai had already ordered his servants to book Fengle Building, the largest restaurant outside Yongjin Gate. There were more than 20 tables on the three floors of the restaurant, waiting for all the guests to come to the banquet. Zhang Yuan met Jin along the way.
During the conversation with Lang Zhi, Jin Langzhi came to Hangzhou from Huating to study last month. Knowing that Dong had planned to frame Lu Yangfang, Zhang Yuan asked about Zong Yishan's current situation. Jin Langzhi said: "Zong Yishan was originally Dong's son.
"Zong Yishan, who is a high-ranking servant among his slaves, is now punished as a lowly servant with a short shirt and a small hat. This is a deliberate humiliation to Zong Yishan."
Zhang Yuan remained silent. He didn't say anything to Jin Langzhi that he had implicate Zong Yishan. He didn't feel that he had done anything wrong. The friendship he had formed with Zong Yishan because of mutual respect for their talents was sincere.
Yes, he never thought of using Zong Yishan to attack the Dong family at the beginning, because at that time he did not know that Zong Yishan was a slave of the Dong family. Later, when he learned Zong Yishan's true identity, he was determined to help Zong Yishan escape from
Now Zong Yishan is forced to return to the Dong Mansion in Huating and suffers humiliation, but he believes that Zong Yishan will not regret his association with him. He is a person who truly appreciates and treats Zong Yishan equally. With Zong Yishan's talent
, how could you be willing to be a superior slave, even though you don’t even have to be a superior slave now—
The more Jin Langzhi talked, the angrier he became: "Dong's evildoings don't stop at this end. In order to expand the Changshengqiao residence, Dong Zuyuan forced dozens of families to move to other places. One of my cousins was also forcibly evicted. The ancestral residence was more than an acre wide.
They only gave thirty taels of silver. They came in the morning to force the contract, and in the evening they came to force him to move. If he didn't sell it to the Dong family, a group of thugs would come to harass him, and the women and children would not dare to go out. The method of forcing him to move
Extremely despicable—"
He added: "This time I came to study with Hong Daotai from Qingpu. He was also a member of the Qingpu Literary Society and was a distant relative of the Dong family. Once I met Dong Zuchang at a banquet in Huating. Dong Zuchang toasted everyone, and Dong Zuchang toasted domineeringly.
, others had to drink even if they didn't drink. Hong Daotai really didn't have the capacity to drink and refused to drink. Dong Zu often relied on the strength of his wine. When he saw that Hong Daotai was not in his mood, he thought that Hong Daotai was deliberately despising him. He was furious and ordered his servants to drag Hong Daotai to fill the horse dung.
, This thing is ridiculous to say, but Dong Zuchang was so bad that he could do such a thing. Hong Daotai sued Dong Zuchang to the Songjiang prefect, but nothing happened. Hong Daotai felt deeply ashamed."
Zhang Yuan nodded and said: "We will talk to Brother Jin after the banquet is over. There are nine people studying here from Huating, Shanghai, and Qingpu counties. Let's discuss it together later. We can't let the Dong family bully us like this, otherwise the students will suffer
Where is the decency!"
Jin Langzhi knew about the feud between Zhang Yuan and Dong Zuchang. If Zhang Yuan wanted to fight Dong Zuchang, he would be willing to comply and said: "Okay, I will call them together to discuss it later."
The banquet at Fengle House was very lively. Zhang Yuan fully demonstrated his social skills. He smiled a lot, entertained from all directions, spoke humorously, and talked happily. No one who attended the banquet felt left out. Zhang Yuan was able to mobilize the atmosphere and everyone drank.
Happy and dispersed.
Jiao Runsheng, Luo Xuanfu, Zhang Yuan's three brothers, as well as Jin Langzhi, Hong Daotai and other eight members of Songjiang Prefecture stayed to discuss matters. Dong Qichang forced Zong Yishan to leave Nanjing and return to Huating. This made Jiao Da unhappy, and Zong Yishan did something
The Danyuan Piaotian Literature website was of great help to Jiao in compiling the bibliography. Before he was halfway through the bibliography, he was forced to return to Huating by his parents and suffered humiliation. Jiao also felt that he had lost face. Jiao Runsheng, Jiao's son, was naturally extremely dissatisfied with Dong.
, Father Luo Xuan was good friends with Jiao Runsheng, and was Huang Ruheng's proud disciple. Huang Ruheng also criticized Dong because of Zong Yishan's affairs, so they heard that Zhang Yuan wanted to try to help Zong Yishan. Jiao Runsheng and Luo Xuanfu were quite enthusiastic.
——
Zhang Yuan asked eight people in Songjiang about what Dong was doing in Huating. He learned that Dong had taken in thousands of slaves and had 100,000 acres of farmland. He only lost three-thirds of the tax. Most of the Huating cruise ships went to Dong to avoid taxes.
In order to expand the Changshengqiao residence, the family members of the family deliberately borrowed money from their children and parents to allow them to do business and obstructed them from doing business, so they had to use real estate to pay off the debts. For some of the children from wealthy families, they deliberately
Betting on whoring, it seems that Dong's despicable method to deal with Lu Yangfang is his usual tactic, and Dong Qichang's sexual intercourse skills are full of dirty things——
Luo Xuan's father sighed: "Everyone in the world admires Dong Xuanzai for his calligraphy and painting, and pays a lot of money for his calligraphy and painting, but they don't know that his character is so evil. Even if most of the evil deeds were not done by Dong Qichang himself, Dong Qichang indulged his sons and nephews, and the family
When slaves commit evil, he must be considered the chief culprit. Even if he puts aside these things, just hiring someone to write paintings and calligraphy to make money is a despicable act. How can a gentleman do such a thing? No wonder he would let Zong Yishan do it.
Examination for later generations.”
Jiao Runsheng said: "Dong Qichang has a great reputation. He has disciples and former officials all over the world. He is the teacher of the East Palace. Who dares to punish him? There are a lot of evil deeds to say, but it is really hard to explain the crime. Huang Guoding, the prefect of Songjiang, is
Among his disciples, who can do anything to capture Dong Qichang?"
The Way of Jinlang: "Dong Qichang and his son also came to see people in the fish and meat village. He made good friends with the big squires. How could he take it lightly for ordinary students and ordinary people? Naturally, he bullied him at will. Zhang Jiezi's brother-in-law Qingpu
The elders of the Lu family still have a good reputation as a civil servant. Dong Qichang and his son took in the Lu family's traitorous slaves and also embezzled the Lu family's 600 acres of mulberry forest. It is really too much to bully people."
Everyone was talking about it, but Zhang Yuan didn't say much. He just kept in mind all Dong's evil deeds mentioned by the students in Songjiang Prefecture. At the end of Xu Shi, he returned to the white awning boat, laid out paper and studied ink, and began to write "The Theory of Calligraphy and Painting Difficult to Use the Voice of the Heart".
, at the beginning of the chapter, he quoted "Zhuangzi" "The human heart is in danger of mountains and rivers, and it is difficult to know the sky. The sky still has spring, autumn, winter, summer, twilight, and twilight, but humans are thick-faced and affectionate." Then he began to refute "Qi is based on reality" in "Wen Xin Diao Long".
Ambition, ambition is the final word, and the beauty is conveyed. Could it be the mood? The heart is the painting of the heart, and the words are the voice of the heart." This kind of argument is that the writing is like the person, and the poetry and painting are the voice of the heart——
Zhang Yuan wrote this article with obvious targeting. He did not criticize Dong Qichang by name. But as long as he has heard of Dong Qichang's name, he will know who the article is satirizing after reading this article? - "What is said is,
It can be disguised, the great emperor is worried about the Chinese language, and the enthusiastic people write ice and snow essays. Now there is a powerful official in Songjiang, with a false reputation at home, a wicked and despicable mind, a poor painting technique, a little length in pointillism, a major transportation hub, and a wide range of talents.
Cambodia uses dozens of them every day, just to talk about si things. He enters the guest house eight or nine times a month, and all of them are anointed by fishermen and hunters. He relies on the honor of the host and ignores the clear opinions of the spectators. Because of the kindness of the disciples, he sits down.
Invading the power of the government..."
The article of more than a thousand words is written eloquently and in one go, and finally ends with Yuan Haowen's poem, "The paintings in my heart are always distorted, and the article is better to see the person again. The high sentiments of leisurely life through the ages, and the trust of Anren to pay homage to Lu Chen." Dong Qichang's calligraphy and painting
The personality is separated from its secular appearance, allowing the world to see clearly the despicable true face of Dong Qichang after his artistic personality is removed from his uninhibited calligraphy and painting works, and his natural and interesting nature. This is an anti-Dong article, and it is for officials and gentry.
Naturally, it must be written with brilliant literary talent and precise argumentation. Zhang was originally a master of eight-part essays and had been trained for a long time. Now he can do this easily. No wonder Zhu Yuanzhang wanted to use eight-part essays to select scholars. If you write these eight-part essays well, your logical thinking ability will indeed be better.
Very powerful, no matter whether it is reasonable or not, it can be justified. This is what officialdom requires——
After writing "The Theory of Calligraphy and Painting Difficult to Use the Voice of the Heart", it was already midnight when the bell rang on the passenger ship. Zhang Yuan was so excited that he couldn't sleep. He took up pen and wrote a long biographical article "Dong Huan's evil deeds" to publicize Dong's evil deeds to ordinary people.
"Travel Record"——
While Zhang Yuan was concentrating on writing, Mu Zhenzhen sat on her knees and watched. Zhang Yuan asked her to go to bed first. She shook her head and said, "My maid is not sleepy. My maid will stay with the young master."
Zhang Yuan knew that the fallen girl was too embarrassed to fall asleep when he was writing an article here, so he said no more and let Mu Zhenzhen sit aside, writing and contemplating the evil deeds of Dong's fishy neighbors that he had just heard about.
, as well as the feud between brother-in-law Lu's family and Dong's family are written in simple colloquial language, which is convenient for ordinary people to read. Even illiterate people can understand the meaning after reading it——
In the second half of the night, the weather was warm and cool, and the canal port, which was noisy and bustling during the day, was silent at this time. The new moon that rose early had already set behind the Baoshi Mountain in the west, but the night was not dark. The stars in the midsummer night sky
It was so bright that Mu Zhenzhen went outside the cabin to look at the stars. When he came back, he saw the young master still busy writing under the lamp. So he went to the boat girl's cabin, turned on the fire, and stewed a bowl of Tremella fungus and lotus seed soup, but couldn't find rock sugar.
, I had no choice but to carry the bowl of lotus seed soup without sugar to the front cabin, and saw Miss Ruoxi with her long hair loose, wearing a bathing skirt and short shirt, and scarlet soft shoes at her feet. These were worn when sleeping.
As the young master spoke, Zhang Ruoxi woke up in the middle of the night and saw that there was still light in his brother's cabin, so he came over to take a look and scolded: "It won't be daylight, why do you have to work so hard all night?"
Zhang Yuandao: "When I think about writing, I want to finish it in one go so that I can rest peacefully."
Zhang Ruoxi yawned and asked, "What did you write?"
Zhang Yuan then showed his sister the article "On Calligraphy and Painting Difficult to Express from the Heart". Zhang Ruoxi looked at it and felt no sleepiness at all. She nodded while reading. After reading the whole article, she praised: "Xiao Yuan, you really write well."
Hearing the sound of footsteps, Zhang Ruoxi turned her head and saw Mu Zhenzhen coming in with lotus seed soup, and said with a smile: "Zhenzhen is so thoughtful and considerate. I brought the supper, and I served Xiao Yuan well."
Mu Zhenzhen's face turned slightly red and he said, "My maid, go and make a bowl of stew for the eldest lady."
Zhang Ruoxi shook his head and said, "No, I'll go back to the cabin first, and Xiao Yuan, you should go to bed early." Zhang Ruoguan's clothes were disheveled. Although he was facing his younger brother, it was inconvenient to stay for a long time.
