Chapter two hundred and forty seventh crescent moon
Chapter 247: Emei Moon
Under Mu Jingyan's repeated urging, Mu Zhenzhen turned around step by step and boarded the three-row boat while wiping her tears. Fan Wenruo, instead of taking his own boat, was also on the Zhang brothers' boat and said goodbye to Wang Huanru on the shore.
The four boatmen didn't know the pain of separation between Mu and his daughter. They opened the big oar and the boat slowly left the shore——
"Daddy——"
Mu Zhenzhen knelt on the bow of the boat, put his hands on the ground, held his head high, and shed tears like rain.
Mu Jingyan's yellow beard trembled, he took half a step, but then he stood still and said loudly: "Really, dad is going to earn a future. Our father and daughter will meet again sooner or later. Don't cry, don't cry, you are by the young master's side,
You have to be diligent day and night and don't be lazy. From now on when the young lady comes to visit, you have to be more careful and not disobey. Do you hear me?"
Mu Zhenzhen sobbed: "I heard-"
Mu Jingyan called out again: "Master Jiezi——," he knelt down and said: "Master, I have never had a mother since I was a child, and I have lost my education. If she does something wrong in the future, I feel free to punish her, but don't drive her away."
When she goes out, she has nowhere to go."
"Uncle Mu, please get up quickly." Zhang Yuan stretched out his hand to pull Mu Zhenzhen up, holding the rough hand of the fallen girl, and said to Mu Jingyan: "Uncle Mu, don't worry, Zhenzhen is my Dongzhang.
I will treat her well."
Mu Jingyan smiled and kowtowed to Zhang Yuan: "I bid farewell to the young master. Please take care of yourself, young master."
At this time, the boat was several feet away from the shore and began to turn around. Zhang Yuan raised his voice and said: "Uncle Mu follows General Du and practices bow and horse. When going into battle to kill the enemy, you must be bold and careful. If the Du family's nephew has a letter from home sent to the border, I will ask Zhenzhen to send it to him as well."
You write a letter and take it with you."
Mu Jingyan said happily: "Thank you young master, thank you young master." Then he stood up.
The boat turned around. There was a southeasterly wind today. The two boatmen unfurled the sail on the bow and took advantage of the wind to save some effort on the oar. Mu Zhenzhen could not see his father Mu on the bow.
I was so shocked that I hurriedly ran from the bow to the stern of the ship. When I saw my father still standing under the scorching sun on the pier, I cried out: "Dad, please take care of yourself."
Mu Jingyan felt that there was nothing more to say and waved his hand towards his daughter——
The sails were blowing and the three oars were swaying together. The wave boat quickly turned around the bend of the river. Zhenfengli Pier was no longer visible. Mu Zhenzhen was so lost that he stood on the bow of the boat, looking at the water town that kept going far away. He couldn't stop crying.
, suddenly his left hand tightened and was held by someone, and the young master's voice said: "Don't be sad, it is your father's dream to serve in the army. If you don't fight once, you will never be willing to accept it."
Mu Zhenzhen turned her head and looked at the young master with tears in her eyes. She nodded "Yeah" and felt a little more at ease. She still looked towards the Zhenfengli Pier, as if her father would stride after her.
The wave boat entered the Baibang River and the speed of the boat increased. The girl Wang Wei walked to the back cabin and said to Mu Zhenzhen: "Sister Zhenzhen, would you like to come to my cabin to talk?"
Zhang Yuan knew that Mu Zhenzhen needed something else to distract him now, so he said: "Zhenzhen, go and talk to Wang Xiuwei."
Wang Wei's beautiful eyes squinted, she smiled sweetly, and took Mu Zhenzhen's hand into the cabin.
Zhang E came over and said: "Jiezi, you are confused. You are a good old Mu, loyal and skilled in martial arts, but you gave him to Jun Song as a servant, making Mu Zhenzhen cry. It is necessary for a dismissed general to do this."
Are you trying to curry favor? It’s so boring to come to express condolences, to send servants, and to accept students.”
Zhang Yuan smiled and said: "Third brother, go ahead and play with your sensuality. This is my business. Don't worry about it. I have my own reasons."
Zhang E was really bored and said: "There is nothing interesting. Yesterday I played Go, chess, and Shuanglu with Wang Weigu, and I was completely defeated. Now I am embarrassed to ask to play with her. Jie Zi, you go and play blind chess with Wang Weigu.
Suppress her arrogance."
Zhang Yuan asked with a smile: "Third brother, don't you want to win the beauty's heart?"
Zhang E said: "I can't play with her. This woman is too smart. I, Zhang Yanke, actually like women to be silly. I don't want to be fooled by women -" He paused for a moment, then glared and said, "Don't believe that I, Zhang Yanke, can't win a girl in the song."
!”
Zhang Yuandao: "Third brother, don't use ruthless means like Dong Zuchang, such as robbing, drugging and so on."
Zhang E laughed and scolded: "Nonsense! When did I, Zhang Yanke, ever do that? I'm still going to throw money at her. We are studying in Jinling and won't return to Shanyin until the end of the year. With so many days, this Wang Weigu can't escape from me."
Palm."
This calyx came all the way to Nanjing, not to study, but to get the gold powder of the Six Dynasties and live in debauchery——
Zhang Yuan smiled and said: "Then you have many love rivals. Wu Xing and Mao Yuanyi are talented, rich and powerful. You can't deal with him alone."
Fan Wenruo came over and asked: "What is Xian Kunzhong talking about, and who is he going to deal with?"
Zhang Yuan burst out laughing and thought to himself: "Mao Yuanyi was really shot while he was lying down." He said: "My third brother wants to win the heart of Wang Weigu, and he is sleeping hard to convince himself."
Fan Wenruo laughed loudly and lowered his voice and said: "Sincerity leads to gold and stone, Wang Weigu's beautiful crown in Jinling is still worth coveting."
The three of them returned to the cabin, and Zhang Dai cooked a pot of tea with yesterday's water from Xuedian Lake. A few people sat by the window, sipping tea, watching the fishermen on the Baijiang River driving cormorants to catch fish, and talking about the imperial examination.
, Fan Wenruo said: "Last year, I, Fushui Shanfang Society, published a special collection of contemporary essays for the wise brother Jie Zi, which sold thousands of copies. It was more popular than the eight-part essay collection by Tang Xianzu in Lin'an and Qian Qianyi in Changshu. I would also like to ask the wise brother Jie Zi to control the production.
The recent works of art have been entrusted to me to be printed and printed in the bookshop of Fushui Shanfang Society."
Zhang Yuan laughed and said: "How dare I compare my craftsmanship with those of Tang Ruoshi and Qian Shouzhi, the masters of eight-legged prose? They are far behind."
Zhang E on the side said: "Brother Fan, I don't need to trouble you about publishing books. We, Hanshe, have established Hanshe Bookstore and will become the largest bookstore in Jiangnan and even the entire Ming Dynasty."
Fan Wenruo was stunned.
Zhang Yuandao: "I'm sorry, I haven't had time to tell Brother Fan about this yet." He then told Fan Wenruo about the establishment of Hanshe Bookstore.
If Hanshe Bookstore prospers, it will inevitably affect the business of Fushuishanfang Bookstore. Fan Wenruo will naturally not be happy, but he also knows very well that since Zhang Yuan established Hanshe, it is inevitable to open a bookstore. With Zhang Yuan's current situation
With the prestige and financial resources of Shanyin Zhang family, Hanshe Bookstore will inevitably grow rapidly and Fushui Shanfang Society will be unable to compete——
For a moment, Fan Wenruo looked a little embarrassed and didn't know what to say.
Zhang Yuan said sincerely: "Brother Fan, I have a suggestion. Brother Fan might as well consider it. If Brother Fan is willing to give in, I will be very happy. If Brother Fan is not willing, I will have no complaints. We will still be good friends——"
Fan Wenruo said: "Dear brother, please speak."
Zhang Yuan first introduced the joint venture form of Hanshe Bookstore, and then said: "Brother Fan is willing to join Hanshe Bookstore, and Hanshe colleagues will naturally prosper together. If Fushui Shanfang Bookstore is willing to serve as a branch of Hanshe Bookstore, then in the future
All manuscripts that Hanshe Bookstore wants to publish will be given to the branch office, and they will be published in both places at the same time, with regional marketing divided into regions. The branch office must hand over one-seventh of the money earned from the sale of each manuscript to the General Administration, and the General Administration will not interfere with the rest.
Of course, the branch's account books must also be made according to the Longmen account and the four-legged account, so as to facilitate auditing - Brother Fan may wish to consider it. I can guarantee Brother Fan that as a branch of Hanshe Bookstore, it will definitely be better than today's Fushui Shanfang Bookstore.
The profits must be substantial, and all the properties and property of the branch will still belong to Brother Fan, and will not be owned by the general bureau. Also, if Brother Fan feels that he is restricted as a branch, he is free to withdraw at any time and restore the original name of Fushui Shanfang Society.
I will never interfere, all of this can be established as a contract."
The so-called freedom to withdraw is just that, leaving a convenient door. If the branch's profit exceeds that of the original Fushui Shanfang Bookstore, how can Fan Wenruo withdraw? Moreover, the General Administration controls the source of the manuscripts, and the branch has formed a negative influence on the General Administration.
Due to the dependence relationship, Fan Wenruo will not be able to establish his own business again and will be unable to do so. Zhang Yuan has taken these into consideration, but Fan Wenruo obviously cannot think so far-reaching. Like Yang Shixiang, Fan Wenruo also wants to use Zhang Yuan's reputation to let others
His own bookstore was profitable, but Zhang Yuan took the opportunity to lure him into profiting from it. Yang Shixiang had already invested in Hanshe Bookstore. At this time, Fan Wenruo was hesitant. This was not a trivial matter, and it was not easy to make a hasty decision. He said: "Brother Xian, please let me be foolish."
Think about it for a few more days."
Zhang Yuan smiled and said: "It doesn't matter, brother Fan, just think about it clearly and discuss it more with your relatives and friends back in Suzhou. Whether it works or not, we are all friends."
Fan Wenruo said: "Okay, success or failure, we are all good friends."
…
At this time, the Baiyan River can connect to Taihu Lake. The Baiyan River flows westward to join the Wusong River, and then flows back to the source of the Wusong River - Taihu Lake, and Suzhou Prefecture is on the shore of Taihu Lake.
The boat sailed thirty miles that day and anchored at the east bank of Tongli Lake in the evening. Zhang Yuan, a later generation, once visited Tongli Ancient Town. The Tuisi Garden here is very famous, but of course there was no Tuisi Garden or Tuisi Garden at this time.
It’s a late Qing building——
The three Zhang brothers, Fan Wenruo, Zong Yishan and others went to a restaurant in the town for dinner. The maid Wang Wei still ate porridge. This girl ate porridge for three meals in summer, and the rest was some fruits. She was very lonely.
light--
Mu Zhenzhen also stayed on the boat and did not follow Zhang Yuan ashore. She ate some Zhenfengli cakes sent by Du Dingfang alone. She was moodless and couldn't eat them. This fallen girl was taciturn all day. Wang Wei and Xiao
Her maid Huixiang tried to talk to her in various ways, but she just smiled and didn't talk much.
As the sun sets and twilight sets in, the waterbirds that were flying on the lake also fly back to their nests. The Tongli Lake with a radius of more than ten miles becomes quiet, and there is a sense of remoteness and depth. Mu Zhenzhen, a fallen girl, stands on the bow of the boat and looks at it.
I stared at the lake in a daze, thinking: "What is dad doing at this time?"
Before it got dark, the little maid Hui Xiang bathed the black-feathered starling at the bow of the boat. Most of the injuries on the bird's wings had healed. The bird liked bathing very much. Moreover, whether it was Xue Tong or Hui Xiang who taught the bird how to speak, this
The birds didn't want to learn. Only when Wang Wei taught the birds how to speak, the birds would follow suit. Huixiang laughed and said, "This bird also knows that my girl has a nice voice."
The sky is getting dark, and a faint trace of the moon is outlined in the sky. On the third day of June, the crescent moon can already be seen. The birdcage is hung on the mast of the ship's bow, and the bird is drying its feathers. Wang Wei and Mu Zhen really don't have a word.
Talking one sentence at a time, at about three quarters of an hour, Zhang Yuan's voice was heard from the shore. Wang Wei thought to herself: "Why did they return to the ship so early after drinking today?"
