Chapter two hundred and fifty fifth beautiful land
At the beginning of the tenth hour of the sixth lunar month, at the Changzhou Canal Port, Zhang Yuan and Feng Menglong said goodbye reluctantly. Feng Menglong hired another boat to return to Changzhou. Zhang Yuan and others continued on, taking the boat to Danyang first, and then transferred to the Jurong River. On June 10th,
On the afternoon of the fifth day, the boat arrived at Dongshui Pass outside Nanjing City. After passing Dongshui Pass, it was Qinhuai, which is ten miles away——
As the boat went down the river, the houses on both sides of the bank became denser. The girl Wang Wei looked like a beautiful tour guide, wearing a wide-brimmed bamboo hat on her head. She was not afraid of the scorching afternoon sun. She stood on the bow of the boat and pointed out the scenery on both sides of the bank and said: "——Jinling was known as the beautiful land in ancient times.
, clothing and cultural relics are flourishing in the south of the Yangtze River, literary talents are popular in the sea, white water flows down the green stream, peach leaf fans, clan princes, descendants in black clothes, there are many beautiful things, the three princes should have a good time to appreciate this ancient capital of the Six Dynasties in their spare time to study.
Thousands of years of romance..."
Zhang Yuan stood next to the girl, following her instructions and corroborating the memory four hundred years later, as if the old dream was vague and traces were hard to find, and thought: "Thirty years later, this happy place will turn into lush grass, wonderful
The dancing and singing cannot be heard, the famous flowers and grass cannot be seen, the buildings are robbed of ashes, and the beauties are dusted. It is really painful. In order to keep these beautiful things, I will go all out——"
The girl Wang Weishan was very observant. When Zhang Yuan listened to her introduction about the scenery of Qinhuai, talented people, beauties, and romantic affairs, she listened very carefully, but her eyes showed compassion. She couldn't help but feel strange, and asked: "Mr. Jie, why did you see the Buddha?"
Mutually?"
Zhang Yuan smiled loudly, returned to the human world, and said: "Listening to you talking about this, I feel addicted. I hope that when my white hair falls, I can visit Qinhuai again and the scenery will remain the same."
Wang Wei smiled on his lips and his eyes moved: "By then, Mr. Jiezi must have been granted the title of marquis and prime minister, and he has a lovely wife and concubines, and a family full of descendants, but the little girl has wandered to someone unknown, maybe she has been buried in a deserted grave.
Mr. Jie accidentally recalled the day he arrived in Jinling at the beginning of the year, could he have any thoughts about it?" When he said this, he laughed at first, but later on, he suddenly became sad and even shed tears...
Zhang Yuan didn't know how to comfort him now. He thought about it but remained speechless.
The girl Wang Wei broke into laughter again and said: "Mr. Jiezi didn't use false words to deal with me and didn't say anything. This is good and has an aftertaste."
Zhang Yuan heard the snickers behind him, and when he looked back, he saw his third brother, Zhang E, standing in the shadow of the cabin door, winking at him, and waving him over. Mu Zhenzhen was also standing aside, biting his lips with white teeth, looking at him.
His face turned shy——
Zhang Yuan didn't know what the three brothers were doing with their winks, so he stepped off the bow and was about to ask. Zhang E waved his hand at him. But he pointed at Wang Wei, who was still standing on the bow, and motioned Zhang Yuan to turn around and look, with a very expression on his face.
To promote narrowness and obscenity.
Zhang Yuan was confused. He glanced at Wang Wei and found nothing unusual. He really didn't understand what the third brother was up to.
Zhang E echoed: "Just now there was a shade of tree covering it. It will be fine when the setting sun shines over. Look. Look!"
When Zhang Yuan raised his eyes and looked again, the wave boat was sailing towards the west, and the setting sun was shining in the afternoon. The girl Wang Wei was very beautiful under the sunlight. Wait a minute, and, so it is like this——
Zhang Yuan finally understood what his third brother Zhang E meant by asking him to look at Wang Wei with his mysterious look. In the scorching summer heat, the girl Wang Wei was wearing a light and transparent cloth robe. He could see Wang Wei standing in the dark of the cabin door.
The hazy outline of the waist, hips and legs under the cloth robe would be more clearly visible if there were not a small petticoat inside. Although it is a bit vulgar to look at this girl like this, to be honest, it is really attractive. The shadowy waist and hip curves are perfect
Can be composed into ups and downs and smooth music——
The girl Wang Wei saw the Zhang brothers whispering to each other and their eyes twinkling. As a smart person, she understood what was going on after a moment of observation. Suddenly her pretty face turned bright, she wrinkled her nose, walked down a few steps to the eaves of the tent, and said:
"You two gentlemen, don't look down upon any incest." But he secretly laughed in his heart: "This Zhang Jiezi usually seems to be mature and steady, but now he also shows his lustful nature as a young man, similar to Zhang Yanke."
Zhang E said with a smile: "I don't know that the beauty of Wang Weigu is also blind - I am not blind. As you stand there, I see that if you pretend to be a Taoist and turn your head away, you will definitely feel uncomfortable in the war between heaven and man, so I just watch to your heart's content.
, you have to blame yourself for this, it was you who seduced our brothers."
Wang Weidao: "My Lord Yanke is quite convincing. Is this the theory that beauty brings disaster to water?"
Zhang Dai came over with a teacup and asked, "What are you talking about? What beauty is causing trouble?"
Zhang E smiled and said: "Brother, it's a pity that I missed the beautiful scenery."
Zhang Dai didn't know why, and thought he had really missed the beautiful scenery on the shore. He quickly looked through the window and looked behind the boat, asking repeatedly: "Where is it? Where is it?"
Zhang E fell down laughing.
Wang Wei changed the topic and said: "Ahead is Wuding Bridge, where the little girl will go ashore. I would like to thank the three husbands for taking care of me along the way. The little girl is very grateful." After saying that, Yingying blessed the three of them.
Zhang Yuan, Zhang Dai, and Zhang E all bowed and returned the gift. Zhang Dai said: "How dare you neglect me who has been entrusted by Mei Gong. Miss Xiuwei is smart and talented. We have benefited a lot from this journey. It's like a spring breeze."
Zhang Dai is telling the truth. With Wang Wei traveling with him, this long waterway is not lonely. Wang Wei has a good grasp of the relationship between himself and the Zhang brothers.
Relationship, the Zhang brothers felt that they were very happy to get along with her, there was a little ambiguity, but it was not obscene——
Zhang E said carelessly: "Miss Xiuwei, when you arrive in Jinling, won't you invite my three brothers to drink?"
Wang smiled and chanted: "The three gentlemen are willing to reward you, and the little girl wants it, so please go ashore together at Wuding Bridge."
Zhang Yuan and Zhang Dai both felt that something was wrong. Today was June 15th. They had to report to the Ministry of Rites on the 17th, and the Imperial College entrance examination was on the 18th. When they arrived in Nanjing, they first went to Quzhong Old Courtyard to drink flower wine. If they were
The instructor of the Imperial College knew that there would inevitably be trouble. Zhang Dai said: "When I settle down in the Imperial College and then visit Miss Xiuwei, I will also ask Miss Xiuwei to take me to visit Mr. Min."
Zhang Yuan remembered something and said, "It is said that the regulations of the Imperial College are very strict and students are not allowed to go out. Is this true?"
Zhang Yuan once asked Wang Binglin, Wang Yingzi's brother, about the Nanjing Imperial College. Wang Binglin said that there are forty people in each class of the Imperial College, and they are given a "respect card for exiting and entering," which is in charge of the on-duty students of each class. Anyone who wants to enter or exit the Imperial College must have
This "respect for coming out and respecting for entering" means that only one person is allowed to go out in each class of forty people every day, and he must rush back before dark and is not allowed to spend the night outside the prison——
Wang smiled and said: "It is not a little girl's knowledge whether the regulations of the Imperial College are strict or not, but every time the night is cool and the wind is clear and the moon is bright, from Wuding Bridge to Changbanqiao, the hairpin flowers are arranged on the temples, carrying the beauty with them, and this person is playing the cave flute.
, the person who performed the wonderful song was probably someone from the Imperial Academy."
Zhang E burst out laughing: "This will put my mind at ease. Otherwise, it would be like going to jail, which would be boring."
Zhang Yuan also laughed and thought to himself: "When Wang Binglin told me this, Wang Yingzi was also nearby, so Wang Binglin wanted to speak more strictly about the Imperial College to show that he worked hard at the Imperial College."
When the boat arrived at Wuding Bridge, the girl Wang Wei was the first to go ashore. The maid Huixiang was holding a bamboo box, Xue Tong was carrying a birdcage, and Uncle Yao was carrying a load of luggage. They all saluted Zhang Yuan and the others on the shore. Thank you very much.
Taking care of you all the way——
Wang Weidao said: "The three gentlemen will go northwest for five or six miles and park their boats at Zhimaying Wharf. It is not far from the Liubu Yamen."
Zhang Yuan cupped his hands and said, "Thank you for reminding me."
Wang Wei smiled sweetly, held the bamboo hat on his head, turned around and headed to the "Orchid Pavilion" by the Long Banqiao. The wave boat also left Wuding Bridge and continued westward along the river. Zhang E looked at Wang Wei
The graceful figure from behind sighed: "Such a wonderful person, who has been on the same boat with my three brothers for half a month, has not been infected at all. Is it because this girl is noble or my three brothers are incompetent?"
Zhang Dai and Zhang Yuan both laughed.
Zhang E asked again: "I wonder which of the three of my brothers this girl prefers?" He asked himself and answered: "I guess they are all equally good-looking. The three of my brothers are all handsome. Girls are spoiled for choice and don't know how to love."
Which one is better——"
Zhang Dai said: "In my opinion, this girl prefers Jiezi."
Zhang E also agreed, but said: "If Jiezi was more attentive, this girl might have thrown herself into his arms, but Jiezi has some false Taoism-"
Zhang Yuan said hurriedly: "Brothers, we are here to study. We can do other things as well, but don't overwhelm us."
Talking and joking, we arrived at the Zhimaying Pier early. The three brothers went ashore under the setting sun. They had no intention of finding a hotel to stay. Anyway, we were used to living on the ship. We waited until we settled down in the Imperial College. We looked at the rental house for temporary accommodation. Zong
Yishan stayed in Nanjing for several months. He said that walking two and three miles northeast from Zhimaying is the Liubu Yamen of Nanjing, and beyond that is the Forbidden City. Since Emperor Yongle moved the capital to Beijing, there has been no emperor in the Forbidden City in Nanjing, only a few
A left-behind eunuch, only Emperor Zhengde has been to Nanjing in the past two hundred years——
Zhang Yuan and his party had a meal of pancakes and wontons at a restaurant near the pier. They did not dare to drink because they had to visit Taishi Jiao later. Zong Yishan said that Taishi Jiao's Danyuan was very close to the Liubu Yamen.
This is only two miles away.
Nanjing noodles and wontons are both famous, and they are two of the "Eight Wonders" of Jinling cuisine. The so-called wonton soup can be ground into powder (to describe its clarity), and the wet noodles can be tied into knots (to describe its toughness). It tastes good. Zhang
Yuan and others had a good meal and when they were paying and going out, they saw a full moon rising from the Purple Mountain. It was bright and clear. It was the fifteenth full moon.
Zhang Dai, Zhang E, Zhang Yuan, Zong Yishan, Wu Ling, and Nengzhu servants also followed. Mu Zhenzhen, needless to say, followed the young master. Zhang Yuan asked Laifu to buy some fresh fruits for Taishi Jiao.
, everyone came to Danyuan and went to pay homage. Soon they heard a hearty voice saying: "Meson, you have just arrived. I have been waiting for you for many days."
When Zhang Yuan heard it, he realized that it was Jiao Runsheng's voice. Jiao Runsheng was still in Hangzhou last month, but unexpectedly he also returned to Nanjing. He said happily: "Brother Runsheng has arrived early? Look, who I brought here."
Jiao Runsheng walked out quickly, glanced at everyone, bowed and saluted, and was overjoyed when he saw Zong Yishan. He stepped forward and held his hand and said, "Brother Zong, has he finally escaped from prison? Since you returned to Huating, my father has mentioned you many times.
I miss you so much that I often sigh."
Zong Yishan felt very warm. Compared with what he experienced in Dong's Mansion in Huating, it was really different.
