Zhou De, the merchant, read the letter sent by Zhang Yuan and shook his head. In his opinion, Zhang Yuan's concubine was nothing, just a Yangzhou skinny horse, which could not threaten his younger sister Danran's status in the Zhang family.
It's just that the younger sister and Zhang Yuan are in love and are about to get married. Now that Wang Wei comes in, the younger sister will certainly not be in a good mood——
There was also a letter written by Zhang Yuan to his younger sister Danran. Shang Zhoude twisted the envelope and made a thick stack. He smiled, got up and went into the inner house to hand the letter to his younger sister with his own hands, so as to give her some relief.
In this sentence, I met a maid in the hall and asked if Dan Ran was in the garden hall in the back garden, so I walked straight to the back garden——
Next to the swing in the back garden, clumps of mountain orchids are in full bloom, and the newly bloomed peonies are particularly beautiful. The little maid Yun Jin is playing on the swing. Shang Danran stands aside and watches. There is also a maid holding a scarf. When Shang Zhoude walks in,
Yun Jin quickly slipped down from the swing and greeted the second master together. Shang Zhoude said: "I have something to say to the eldest lady, please step back.
When the second maid came to stand in front of the flower hall door, Shang Danran said: "Second brother, has there been a letter from Shanyin?"
Since Zhang Yuan returned to Shanyin on the 13th day of the twelfth lunar month last year, he has been writing letters to Shang Danran every once in a while. It has been eight or nine days since late February and no letter has come. Shang Danran also knows that Zhang Yuan is busy writing.
Things about social gatherings—
"It's a letter from Zhang Jiezi." Shang Zhoude took out Zhang Yuan's letter from the bottom of his sleeve and handed it to Shang Danran, frowning slightly: "Something unpleasant happened -"
Shang Danran was draped in clouds and armor, with his hair in a Hangzhou bun, with bright eyes and white teeth, and an elegant manner. Looking at the face of his second brother Shang Zhoude, his heart sank and he asked: "Is it about Miss Wang?" This is
Something she's always worried about.
Shang Zhoude also knew about the entanglement between Wang Siren's daughter and Zhang Yuan, smiled and said: "She is not Miss Wang, but her surname is Wang. She is a famous prostitute in Jinling. She met Jiezi in Songjiang and chased him to Shanyin - you
Read the letter first and see how Zhang Jiezi explains it to you."
Shang Danran frowned slightly, took out the letter, and placed it on the swing next to him. Zhang Yuan's letter was the kind of lead mangosteen paper that was eight inches long and six inches wide. He wrote five pieces of paper, and the words were like that
The small regular script with large fingertips is elegant and vigorous. The calligraphy has improved greatly compared with the summer before last in Baima Mountain. Shang Danran is still very calm. He still has the leisure to evaluate Zhang Yuan's calligraphy in his heart——
Shang Zhoude stood aside with his hands behind his hands, watching his little sister read the letters one by one indifferently. After reading the last letter, his face was expressionless, and he stared at a bunch of peonies in a daze. Suddenly, tears came from the corners of his eyes and slid across his eyes.
Cheek, Shang Zhoude suddenly became anxious and said: "Zhang Jiezi's behavior is too ridiculous. He said he would come to the door to explain in a few days. Then I will blame him and ask him to send the Jinling prostitute away. It is really unreasonable..." Shang Zhoude
De's attitude is a bit exaggerated, he did it on purpose -
Shang Danran waved his hand, and the maid holding a scarf ran over in small steps. Shang Danran took the towel and wiped his tears, then asked the maid to go away further, and said to his second brother Shang Zhoude: "Second brother, Jiezi is writing to explain, not to ask.
I repented. I know Jiezi’s temperament. He is soft on the outside and strong on the inside. Although his words in this letter were carefully chosen, I can tell that he is very protective of the woman named Wang Wei. Collection of Shanyin Society, Shi
Zi Ruyun must have wanted to call Wang Wei's coming all the way to Shanyin a romantic and beautiful event. If we reject it with all our strength, it will be unbeautiful and give me the reputation of being unworthy and jealous. I can tolerate Mu Zhen.
Really, why can’t you tolerate this Wang Wei——"
On June 19th last year, Shang Danran met Zhang's mother, Lu, at Dashan Temple. Zhang's mother, Lu, told her about Mu Zhenzhen. Mu Zhenzhen went out with Zhang Yuan. She must have been married to a girl. She smiled at that time.
To be honest, he is really skilled in martial arts and loyal. Going out with Zhang Lang is also reassuring——
Shang Zhoude sighed: "My little sister is so virtuous, Zhang Jiezi should be ashamed, but you can't be so tolerant. He is still just a scholar. In the future, if he passes the imperial examination and becomes an official, shouldn't he indulge in sensuality and debauchery?"
Shang Danran said with a smile: "That's not the case. Zhang Jiezi is not a greedy and lustful person, but I want to see that Wang Wei -" He was still very jealous. Wang Wei accompanied Zhang Yuan on the same boat from Qingpu to Jinling. Think about it.
They all hold grudges about it.
Zhou Dedao of Shang Dynasty said: "When Jiezi comes, I will tell him that Wang Wei will come to see you. If that woman is too charming, you can give her a lesson." After chatting for a while, they went out.
Shang Danran put Zhang Yuan's letter away and sat on the swing. The maid Yun Jin hurried over and gently rocked her, asking: "Why are you crying? Did Uncle Zhang bully you?"
Shang Danran asked curiously: "Why do you say it was Zhang Jiezi who bullied me?"
Yun Jin hesitated for a moment and then said: "My maid heard the boat lady Zhou Ma say this morning that Uncle Zhang wanted to take a Jinling oiran as his concubine. I don't know whether it was true or not, so I didn't dare to tell the young lady."
The swing was swaying gently, and the skirt of his skirt was fluttering. Shang Danran raised his head and looked at the flowing clouds in the sky, thinking: "This matter really spreads quickly, so it seems that it is appropriate to ask Wang Wei to come here to meet him. This is also the reason for all my Kuaiji Shang
His face." After thinking about it, I still feel depressed.
On the eighth day of March, Huang Zunsu and Ni Yuanlu, members of the Han Society in Shaoxing, also resigned to Zhang Yuan and returned to their hometown. Because the tenth day of March was the Qingming Festival, they had to rush back to visit the tomb. They would come to Shanyin at the beginning of next month to drink Zhang Yuan's wedding wine. As for Zhang Yuan's wedding wine,
Of course, Ruan Dacheng, Fan Wenruo, Feng Menglong, Yang Shixiang and other commune members from other provinces and counties could not rush back to their hometowns to visit their graves and then come back again, so there were more than 60 people who stayed in the mountains and gathered together every day to discuss stereotypes and debates.
According to history, when the weather is clear and the weather is bright and sunny, you can browse the landscape of Shaoxing. The mountains and rivers are rising upward, just like in a scroll——
Zhang Yuan went to visit his brother-in-law, Shang Zhoude, on the afternoon of the ninth day of the third lunar month. Along the way, he saw painted boats with flutes and drums, and there was an endless stream of people. The men and women in the boats were dressed in beautiful clothes, singing and drinking. This was Kuaiji, and people from the cities of Shanyin and Shanyin went to the suburbs to sweep tombs.
It’s called tomb-sweeping, but it’s actually a spring outing, with a lot of music. The tunes are "Haidongqing" and "Walking a Thousand Miles Alone". Zhang Yuan doesn’t understand why Shaoxing people play these two tunes when they visit tombs during their spring outing.
When Shang Zhoude saw Zhang Yuan, he said what Dan Ran said after reading the letter the day before yesterday. Zhang Yuan was ashamed and deeply felt that Dan Ran was virtuous. Shang Zhou De said: "Dan Ran wants to meet that Wang Wei and see what kind of person she is.
In these few days, please call her to meet her."
Zhang Yuan thought to himself: "Sooner or later, if Xiu Wei wants to enter my Zhang family, he will have to meet Dan Ran. Dan Ran is a virtuous person, so he will not embarrass Xiu Wei." He agreed.
Zhang Yuan had dinner at Shang Mansion, then took a boat back to Shanyin with Wu Ling, and landed at Bashi Bridge. It was dusk, the semicircle moon had risen in the sky, and the stars in the dark blue sky were twinkling. Zhang Yuan said: "Xiao Wu,
Go to the garden with me."
Wu Ling agreed, followed Zhang Yuan towards the west garden of the city, and said, "Young Master has not been to the garden for several days."
Zhang Yuandao: "Every day there are lectures, entertainments, and farewells, so there is very little free time. Didn't my sister go there a few times?"
Wu Ling said: "I'm not sure about that."
The two masters and servants walked to Panggong Pond. The late spring sky had completely darkened. The semicircle moon became brighter and brighter, as if it had been covered with dust before and was now washed away. The water in the pond was deep and dark, and the pavilions and pavilions in the garden at the end of the pond were misty in the darkness.
Like a dream——
The garden gate was not closed, Zhang Yuan and Wu Ling walked in. Xie Yuanding's family of four were having dinner and lighting a soybean oil lamp. The family was enjoying themselves happily. Zhang Yuan said hello and walked over, crossing the corridor and looking at Xiaomei Mountain.
, Tianwen Terrace, outside the back door of Plum Blossom Zen, I saw the little maid Huixiang washing rice bowls and bowls by the small canal of Shushi Spring. A small lantern was inserted by the fence and glowed as yellow as the moon——
"Huixiang, what did you have for dinner?" Zhang Yuan asked with a smile.
When Hui Xiang saw it was Zhang Yuan, his white teeth were shining in the night, he said happily: "Mr. Zhang is here. My girls have just been saying that Mr. Zhang has not been here for six days - dinner, white rice, delicious
, the dishes include pea soup, red fermented bean curd, green pepper meat slices, and a sea bass caught in this pond, steamed, very delicious." He pointed towards the water under the sea bass pavilion.
Zhang Yuan said happily: "Your little aunt caught it? What a great skill."
"It's not Weigu." Huixiang said with a smile: "Where can Weigu catch fish with flowers? It was Xue Tong who used earthworms as bait." He added, "Weigu is very busy these days, reading and writing.
, not available every day.”
Zhang Yuan said "Oh": "I'll go see what she's busy with."
Entering the Plum Blossom Zen Room, Uncle Yao was making tea in the corridor. Xue Tong was sitting on the threshold of Wang Wei's side room, using the light of the room to cut something with a small knife. When he saw Zhang Yuan, Xue Tong jumped up with a "Ah" sound.
, Zhang Yuan waved his hand, and Xue Tong pursed his lips and remained silent.
Zhang Yuan stood in front of the ear room and saw a small case in front of the window and a glazed lamp. Wang Wei was sitting on his knees in front of the case, facing the door. He was wearing a natural color cloth robe, with long silky hair hanging loose, a straight waist, and a right elbow.
She was writing the case, and as soon as Zhang Yuan stepped in, she noticed it, her eyes flashed, and she smiled, and called out: "Mr. Jiezi——" She placed the rabbit hair pen in her hand on the Xuan bronze pen grid, stood up, and wrote
The robe is swaying, graceful and graceful
Zhang Yuan said with a smile: "I wanted to scare you, but you became more alert."
Wang Wei said: "I am copying a book. If you scare me, I will lose a page."
Zhang Yuan leaned over the desk and saw a volume of Xu Wei's poetry manuscripts spread out on the desk. On one side was the paper copied by Wang Wei, and on the other side was a stack of copied papers. He had already copied the third volume. The handwriting was fresh and beautiful in small regular script. Zhang Yuan
After reading a few pictures, there was no correction at all. This is not hundreds or thousands of words. It is so rare that I can copy tens of thousands of words without making any mistakes or corrections. I can’t help but admire——
Wang Wei smiled and said: "Don't boast, Mr. Jie, I have wasted a lot of paper." As he said that, he took out a small stack of paper from the other side of the bookcase. There were about ten pieces of paper. They were all discarded if they made mistakes. Some of them were discarded.
It was almost full, but I made an error at the end and it was cancelled. It's a pity.
Zhang Yuandao said: "Xiuwei is too serious. There are missing words and additions in "The Preface to the Lanting Collection". This is not a scientific examination paper. Why not just correct it. Just erase the wrong words. Otherwise, I will send someone to send orpiment tomorrow."
Wang Wei said: "No need. Anyway, I have time. When I saw the corrected words, I felt it was an eyesore and felt unhappy, so I just copied it again. It's also considered calligraphy practice, right?"
Zhang Yuan said "Hey" and thought to himself: "Xiu Wei is still a perfectionist, which is not easy to serve."
Take it slow today, and update it to 5,000 words tomorrow. Five thousand words requires eight or nine hours of hard work. I urge book friends to encourage me. The monthly ticket list is about to fall.
