On the evening of the 24th of the twelfth lunar month, Zhang Yuan took Laifu and Wu Ling out of the house of Teacher Wang Siren and walked slowly towards Yuewang Bridge. Along the way, he saw the people of Kuaiji offering sacrifices such as glutinous rice cakes, glutinous rice candies, bean flour balls, and small sugar cakes.
The Stove Lord also bought a Stove Horse and burned it in front of his house. This was to send the Stove Lord to heaven. He also exchanged peach charms, door gods, spring posts, Zhong Kui, Fulu, tiger heads, and various pictures of harmony and pasted them on the door wall. The beggars did not
Afraid of the cold, they came out in large numbers, painted themselves into grotesque ghosts, screamed and danced to drive away the Nuo, and begged for money and goods. From that day on, the village was filled with flutes and drums, and the sound of firecrackers was noisy——
Wang Siren came back yesterday. After celebrating the New Year at home, he was going to Yuanzhou to promote his appointment. Zhang Yuan came to Kuaiji to see him before noon today -
Wang Siren was very happy to see Zhang Yuan. He asked about Zhang Yuan's studies and said, "I also heard in the capital that people from Huating were surrounding Dong's house. Your reputation has spread to the officials of the six ministries. I'm afraid this is not a good thing."
Teacher Wang is a very smart person, and Zhang Yuan was also unequivocal, saying: "Students are just intermediaries, and those bureaucrats will soon forget about them."
Wang Siren said: "You will soon become famous and will be remembered by many people."
Zhang Yuandao said: "If a tree is beautiful in the forest, it will be destroyed by the wind; if a dam emerges from the shore, it will be turbulent. However, students can step on it without regrets."
"Action is higher than others, and others will reject it——"
Wang Siren added with a smile that through the two years of contact, he knew Zhang Yuan's ambition to change the world and also knew that Zhang Yuan acted in a measured way. He did not need to worry too much. What he should worry about was his two daughters.
The daughter Jingshu is widowed and has no intention of remarrying. The young daughter Yingzi is eighteen years old in the New Year and refuses to talk about marriage. It can be said that Zhang Yuan missed her. However, Wang Siren has no intention of blaming Zhang Yuan for this matter.
There is no one to blame, only Yue Lao for playing tricks on others. Wang Siren is optimistic and playful, so he is not worried. He feels that although Yingzi's matter is troublesome, there is still a solution, and he can figure it out slowly. He exchanges letters between Yingzi and Zhang Yuan.
No objection——
In Zhang Yuan, exchanging letters with junior sister Yingzi was a very pleasant and refreshing thing. The two often discussed difficult questions about the classics and their insights. Zhang Yuan felt that he had made great progress in his studies this year, but through communication with Wang Yingzi,
He found that this junior sister seemed to have made more progress and had read more books than him in the past year. This should mean that junior sister Yingzi had more time to study, while Zhang Yuan, after all, was distracted by practicing archery and making friends——
Whether Zhang Yuan was from the late Ming Dynasty or a modern person, he had no determination to refuse to associate with Wang Yingzi. There is a kind of spiritual compatibility in it, which is somewhat different from Zhang Ailing's red roses and white roses. It cannot be judged simply by hypocrisy.
, For example, Li Zhi’s relationship with the daughter of the Mei family in Macheng. Although they exchanged letters, even though they were criticized many times, they still had no regrets.
"Now spring has been called back"; "The sound calls out one's own body, life and death are like mountains and immovable dust. If you want to see Guanyin, you are now, the lotus originally belongs to the flower-like person." Isn't there a different kind of deep feeling in it?
——And if Zhang Yuan cuts off contact with Yingzi because it will delay Wang Yingzi's life-long events, that would be hypocrisy. Being born in the world, things cannot be done in black and white. Emotional entanglements are not surprising. Who can live so purely?
There are many things that you can’t hold on to, but that you haven’t encountered yet——
…
"When-when-when-"
The self-ringing clock on the lacquered table in the bedroom rang six times. Mu Zhenzhen quickly got up from the small bed in the outer room and dressed, and went into the inner room to serve Zhang Yuan in dressing and washing. Mu Zhenzhen did not sleep with the young master every day, and had always been a maid.
Duty——
After washing up, the chiming clock had passed for a quarter of an hour. Zhang Yuan fumbled behind the butt of the chiming clock, adjusted the pointer back to six o'clock, and said with a smile: "Every day starts at six o'clock. ("")"
After a period of observation, Zhang Yuan discovered that the chiming clock would go forward fifteen minutes a day, so after hearing the bell ring six times every day and getting up to wash up, he would set the clock back a quarter of an hour——
Mu Zhenzhen said: "The young master has been too busy these days. He can't stop. My wife told the young master not to be tired."
Zhang Yuandao: "I know, I will rest when I am tired." After finishing his boxing exercise, he walked to the study next door and started his daily calligraphy copying. However, he saw a calligraphy calligraphy placed at the top of the book. It was Wang Binglin's calligraphy.
, Zhang Yuan knew that this actually belonged to Wang Yingzi, but when he opened it, he found that it was Wang Yingzi who said that he wanted to participate in the Han Society gathering, and quoted Yu Xuanji's poem "The clouds and peaks are full of spring sunshine, and the silver hook points down to give birth.
I hate myself for covering up my poems with my clothes on, and I am envious of the names on the list." Expressing his envy for these students' upcoming candidates for the provincial examination, Zhang Yuan read the letter and smiled, thinking: "Junior sister Yingzi is still very melancholy about having a husband who is not her husband.
"Because of this fish mystery poem, Zhang Yuan couldn't help but think of Wang Xiuwei from Jinling——
…
It is already late February in the forty-third year of Wanli, and spring is blooming. A few days ago it was Shang Danran's birthday. Shang Danran was nineteen years old, and Zhang Yuan was eighteen. Zhang Yuan went to Shang Mansion to give gifts to Dan Ran. The year before last and the year before
On Shang Danran's birthday, Zhang Yuandu and Dan Ran visited Xinghua Temple together. However, this year's birthday was unable to meet due to customary etiquette. Fortunately, the wedding day was still one and a half months away, and they could stay together forever——
On February 2nd, Zhang Dai married Shuicheng Liu, and on February 16th, Zhang He married Qi Biaojia's sister. Shanyin Zhang family had a lot of happy events, but Zhang Dai had no feelings for his wife Liu, and was just fulfilling his parents' orders. According to Zhang
E's theory is that Zhang Dai lost the bet, but he, Zhang E, won the bet. Zhang E was very fond of the Qi family. Zhang E's speech was full of joy. Zhang E was originally a dandy who refused to obey discipline and drank alcohol.
, if the maid offends him, he will be beaten. When he loses his temper, even his mother, Wang, can't restrain him. However, since the Qi family started, Zhang E seldom lost his temper. The maid accidentally offended Zhang E.
He went to ask the bride for help. Zhang E's anger was often explained away by Qi's words. Zhang Dai smiled and said to Zhang Yuan: "The third brother is a tiger, the third brother's wife is Wu Song, and the third brother has found his nemesis."
In addition to Zhou Monong from Shanyin and Uncle Yao Jian from Kuaiji, those who came to attend the wedding of Zhang Dai and Zhang E also included Huang Zunsu, Ni Yuanlu and others from other counties. Zhang E's two friends from Jiaxing and Kunshan also came from Jiaxing and Kunshan.
Because the third day of March was the first large-scale gathering of Hanshe, these friends from far away all stayed in Shanyin. Huang Zunsu lived in Zhangyuan, and everyone else was arranged by Xizhang——
Starting from February 26th, Hanshe members from all over the country came to Shanyin one after another. On the 25th, Jiao Runsheng and Luo Xuanfu came from Nanjing. On the same day, more than 40 classmates from Juran Cottage in Nanpingshan, Hangzhou also arrived.
On the 26th, Ruan Dacheng and fifteen fellow students came from Tongcheng. These were the comrades Ruan Dacheng invited in Tongcheng. On the 27th, Fan Wenruo, Wen Zhenmeng, Feng Menglong and more than fifty people from Suzhou arrived at the mountain.
On the 29th, on the 29th, more than 200 people from the three counties of Songjiang Prefecture arrived in dozens of boats. Lu Tao and Zhang Ruoxi and his wife Lu Chun and Lu Jie also came, and the others Yang Shixiang, Hong Daotai, and Xia Yunyi
, Jin Langzhi and others also arrived together. Also arriving in twos and threes were Zhang Yuan’s classmates from the Imperial College, as well as students from all over Kunshan and Jiaxing. By the first day of March, students from various prefectures in Shanyin were focused.
Five hundred and sixty-one people, including their servants, there are no less than 2,000 people. This does not include the students from Kuaiji and Shanyin counties who will participate in this community gathering——
Such a large-scale gathering of students was unheard of. Zhang Yuan reported it to the magistrate Liu of Shanyin and the magistrate Xu of Shaoxing in advance, and received the support of magistrate Xu and Magistrate Liu of Shaoxing.
The students were open for daily paper gatherings by participating students. Zhang Yuan had early ordered Laifu and others to book a number of inns in Shanyin, and some local students also accommodated many students from far away in their homes. Zhang Yuan
Originally, the heads and vice-presidents of local branches were allowed to manage their respective members. The food and lodging of these members were arranged by the Han Society, and the servants who accompanied the members would eat in the boats. The waterways crisscrossing the city of Shanyin
The streets are full of these passenger ships from other places, with endless fireworks. If the Social League is to succeed, it cannot do without funding and preparation. This social gathering received the support of Zhang Rulin, and 300 dendrobiums of rice were produced from Xizhang.
The rest of the people were mobilized, and Zhang Yuan provided five hundred taels of silver in the name of Han Society. It was the first time to organize such a large-scale society gathering, and some confusion was inevitable. Zhang Dai and Zhang E could not help, but fortunately
With the help of Huang Zunsu and Zong Yishan——
On the second day of March, Zhang Yuan discussed the rules of the Hanshe with Zhang Dai, Fan Wenruo, Yang Shixiang, Wen Zhenmeng, Xia Yunyi and other 20 heads and deputy chiefs of the county branches. These people were from Shaoxing, Suzhou, Nanjing and Songjiang respectively.
They had organized various literary societies, such as Suzhou Fushui Shanfang Society, Songjiang Ji Society, Kunshan Yun Hairpin Society, and Wulin Reading Society. At this time, they all decided to merge into the Han Society. Regarding the review of members, Zhang Yuan requested to be strict and avoid abuse.
, those who are greedy and shameless, those who rely on power to dominate the countryside, and those who have failed in their filial piety must strictly abide by this rule. As for other rules, they are basically based on the three drafted at the Huating Yuyuan meeting last year, with the addition of loyalty to the emperor.
, the purpose of protecting the country and benefiting the people, these three big flags can avoid a lot of trouble——
The "Hanshe Surname Record" was compiled by Zong Yishan and Huang Zunsu, recording the place of origin, name, birth zodiac, year of the supporter, and names of teachers and friends, etc. A total of 385 formal members were recorded in the register, and the rest
All the students attending the meeting will wait for the approval of the society leader and society deputy of their respective counties and counties before joining the Han Society——
All that was needed was the east wind. On the evening of the second day of March, the city of Shanyin, which had been noisy all day, gradually calmed down. They were waiting for the Han Society's gathering tomorrow. The two-story, three-coupled wooden building where Zhang Yuan was near the Laohe River was...
The lights were bright, the laughter was constant, and more than twenty leaders and deputy members of the Hanshe branch lived in this wooden building, talking about literature and art, and it was very lively. Big stone suddenly came to announce that a visitor had come, and presented a greeting card.
, when Zhang Yuan took it and looked at it, it was a kind of single post, indicating that the visitor was a peer, and the letter was "Grandpa, Taoist priest in grass clothes." Zhang Yuan's heart skipped a beat. On the back of this single post, there were two poems about bamboo branches, the words were like flies' heads,
Beautiful and charming:
"Who knows the girl's body? The person in front of Yinpu is very interested. After the court is over, there is nothing to do. I would like to be a flower sweeper by the altar.
If you don’t believe in immortals, you won’t be idle either. Baiyun Chun is in chaos at Bitaoguan. I am sailing towards Zhang Junyi, but the flowers are withered before the game is over.”
