Three hundred and thirteenth chapter wall immediately
Chapter 313: Immediately on the Wall
Do you still remember the beautiful maid Qiu Ling whom Zhang E lost to Zhang Yuan in the "Jin Ping Mei" gambling game three years ago? At that time, Fan Zhen, a retainer from Xi Zhang, begged Zhang Yuan to take Qiu Ling as his concubine. Fan Zhen's wife had died, and Qiu Ling
After Ling gave birth to a daughter for Fan Zhen, she became Fan Zhen's step-in-law. She lived a good life. At the end of last year, "Yanghe Rice Shop" opened, and Fan Zhen assisted Zhang Ruiyang in managing things at Rice Shop. This time Yi Ting acted as Zhang Ruiyang.
When my adopted daughter got married, Fan Zhen and his wife naturally came to congratulate her——
When she was a maid in Xizhang, Qiu Ling thought that she was just a bit higher than Yi Ting of Dong Zhang. She, Qiu Ling, didn't have to do menial work. Look at Yi Ting, who had to wash clothes by the Tou River all year round.
Qiu Ling often leaned under the willow tree by the river, eating melon seeds and chatting with Yi Ting, who was busy doing laundry. Once Qiu Ling deliberately competed with Yi Ting to see whose hands were prettier. Yi Ting worked a lot, but Qiu Ling's hands were not as delicate as Qiu Ling's.
Ling was very proud——
But today, looking at Yi Ting, who was married as a lady of the Zhang family, Qiu Ling was very disappointed. It was said that Yi Ting's husband Zong Yishan was the son of a slave, but Master Jiezi valued his talent and learning, and others followed him.
Treating Zong Yishan as a dignified figure, there were hundreds of people attending the wedding, playing music and playing, and it was lively and lively. Even the Grand Master of Xizhang and County Magistrate Liu sent congratulatory gifts. It was not like she was quietly taken over by Fan Zhen back then.
She took it back, and although she is now the legal wife, Fan Zhen is already an old man in her fifties, and the comparison between people is so irritating!
Yi Ting didn't know that she was envied and jealous by Qiu Ling. These days, Yi Ting paid close attention to Zhang Ruoxi's words and deeds and deliberately imitated them. Today, on this special day, Yi Ting, who was born as a maid, looked very ladylike in every move she made.
She is willing to change herself for Zong Yishan. She wants to study and learn to manage accounts——
Since Zhang Ruoxi married to Qingpu ten years ago, it was Yi Ting who helped Zhang's mother, Lu, with the housekeeping. Now that Yi Ting has married, Zhang's mother, Lu, has lost a caring person. Many things are inconvenient. Sometimes it is difficult to find just one thing.
I can’t find it. I feel like I don’t have enough manpower and I’m too busy. The male servants in the house are Lai Fu, Lai Wang, Fu Cheng, Fu Dagong, Wu Ling, and Shi Shuang and his son. But the only maid left in the inner courtyard is the little girl Tu Ting.
Although Tu Ting is still relatively ignorant and can't care about anything, Zhang's mother, Lu, was a little worried. Zhang Ruoxi smiled and comforted: "How can mother be worried that there is no one to help the inner courtyard? In a few days, Miss Dan Ran will be our Zhang family
Well, she must have a maid and a maid to marry her, and then she will be worried about having nowhere to live. The latest chapter of the Holy Church (The Holy Church)"
Zhang's mother, Mrs. Lu, suddenly turned her worries into joy and said, "Hurry up and clean up, and free up everything in the west building -"
It goes without saying that Zhang Yuan is busy these days, and friends from far and near come to congratulate him. On the ninth day of April, six officials came from afar, sent two congratulatory gifts, handed two letters to Zhang Yuan, and left on the same day. There were many congratulatory guests in Dongzhang.
, the coming and going of these six officials did not attract much attention from others. They were sent by Xing Long, the garrison eunuch of Nanjing. One of the two gifts was sent by Xing Long's acting eunuch Zhong Benhua. Zhang Yuan wondered how eunuch Zhong knew his wedding date.
After reading Eunuch Zhong’s letter to him, we found out that Eunuch Zhong learned about his wedding date from his brother-in-law, Censor Shang Zhou Zuo of Zuoqiandu, so he wrote to ask Xing Long to prepare a congratulatory gift for him——
Eunuch Zhong told Zhang Yuan in a subtle way in the letter that the situation of Prince Zhu Changluo was very bad. Concubine Zheng was so arrogant that the eunuchs who followed the prince were all on tenterhooks. However, his life with the emperor's eldest grandson was quite peaceful. He followed Zhang Yuan's advice.
After returning to the capital, he took the initiative to serve the emperor's eldest grandson. He was one of the ten talented people in the imperial court. The Chief of Literary Affairs arranged for him to teach the emperor's eldest grandson literacy and enlightenment. Because the prince was treated coldly, he might not be deposed in one day, so the emperor was already eleven years old.
No one considers the education of the eldest grandson. Even the seven- and eight-year-old children from better-off families have already entered social studies for enlightenment. However, the eleven-year-old grandson of the emperor, Zhu Youxiao, only knows a dozen words. These dozen
The characters are his own name, the name of the palace where he lives, and the name of his great companion Li Jinzhong——
Eunuch Zhong complained to Zhang Yuan, saying that many eunuchs in the palace laughed at him when they heard that he had served the emperor's eldest grandson. It was fair to say that marrying the prince was a gamble, but what kind of vision did he have to marry the emperor's eldest grandson?
Well, Eunuch Zhong is almost forty years old, and the prince is only in his early thirties. How long will this last?
——Also, the emperor's grandson Zhu Youxiao has been staying in the deep palace and has nowhere to go. He doesn't study, so he has somehow developed the habit of doing carpentry. He is keen on drawing ropes and cutting ink, and the awl, chisel, saw and planer are the emperor's.
The eldest grandson's personal belongings are not very willing to listen to instructions and read, and only like to play with the eunuch Li Jinzhong. This makes Eunuch Zhong very helpless. He thinks that the eldest grandson of the emperor does not have the appearance of a human king. Eunuch Zhong feels that his future is slim, and he just eats and waits.
Die——
Seeing Eunuch Zhong complaining to him in the letter, Zhang Yuan couldn't help laughing. He really felt that he had tricked Eunuch Zhong. He thought to himself: "The emperor's grandson Zhu Youxiao is only eleven years old, and he is already obsessed with carpentry. He is in his teens."
It is also depressing for the children to be detained in the palace - then Li Jinzhong is Wei Zhongxian, Eunuch Zhong has a literary personality, and Wei Zhongxian has a ruffian spirit. Eunuch Zhong may not be able to defeat Wei Zhongxian, and Zhu Youxiao's wet nurse, the Hakka family, should already be in the palace.
The latest chapter of the Temple”
There was nothing wrong with Eunuch Xing's letter, just some polite words. Zhang Yuan replied to Eunuch Xing with a text message to express his gratitude. As for Eunuch Zhong, Zhang Yuan could not reply to the letter or give him advice. He could only let him stay in the cold palace.
Now Wei Zhongxian won't do anything to him, because there is nothing to fight about——
What makes Zhang Yuan and Shang Danran extremely regretful is that sisters Jinglan and Jinghui cannot come back. At the beginning of the year, there was a letter saying that they were going back to Shaoxing to attend the wedding. However, at the end of last month, there was a letter from Shang Zhouzuo saying that his wife Fu could not take care of their two children.
When her daughter came back, she was bedridden because of a miscarriage. Fu had always wanted to give birth to a son for Shang Zhouzuo. She finally got pregnant, but she had a miscarriage. She was very sad, so she ordered her family to bring gifts from her brother and sister-in-law from the capital to wish the newlyweds a happy life.
Old man, give birth to a son early——
On the tenth day of April, Qin Minping took his 12-year-old nephew Ma Xianglin from Shizhu Tusi, Chongqing Prefecture, more than 4,000 miles away, to Shanyin. They had been on the road for more than a month. Miao people and native people were the most kind. Zhang Yuan was
Their benefactors, Chieftain Shizhu, did not know how Qin Liangyu and Qin Minping learned about Zhang Yuan's wedding date. They were not afraid of the long journey and came from the mountains in central Sichuan to Shanyin to congratulate Zhang Yuan. You can imagine Zhang Yuan's joy -
The tall Qin Minping has not changed much from two years ago, but his nephew Ma Xianglin has changed a lot. The twelve-year-old boy is five feet tall, only slightly shorter than Zhang Yuan, has big hands and broad body, and is very brave at a young age.
, his face was still childish, and he wore a silver ring on his neck. When he saw Zhang Yuan, he knelt down and worshiped, calling him "Uncle Shi." Qin Minping told Zhang Yuan that his brother-in-law Ma Qiancheng had died of illness early last year. Because Ma Xianglin was young,
Then his sister Qin Liangyu attacked Shizhu to announce the governor——
…
It has been raining for several days since the eighth day of April, which made Zhang's mother, Lu, a little worried. She was afraid that it would still rain on the day of her son's wedding. On the tenth day of the lunar month, when Qin Minping and his party arrived, the weather would clear up.
On April 11, Zhang Yuan, accompanied by his father Zhang Ruiyang and his clan brother Zhang Dai, worshiped gods (commonly known as blessings by Shaoxing people) and ancestors (commonly known as asking adults to make rice), then invited colored sedans and set up theater tents. It was a busy day.
.
On the morning of April 12th, Zhang Yuan took a bath and changed into the groom's clothes. The theater in front of the door had already begun to perform the Yuan drama "Horse on the Wall". This is Bai Pu's famous love comedy, which was performed by the Xi Zhang Dining Troupe for Zhang
The original wedding was specially rehearsed, with Wang Ke playing the role of Li Qianjin and singing enchantingly——
The bright red sedan with gold embroidery has stopped in front of the courtyard gate. There is a large bronze mirror on the left and right sides of the sedan. The bronze mirror is polished so bright that you can see your hair and beard. This is to ward off evil spirits——
The elders of Zhang Ruiyang and an old couple with descendants from Dongzhang pretended to be the two stars of fortune and fortune. The male star of fortune took a bronze mirror to the colorful sedan to take a picture, and the female star of fortune burned sandalwood incense to diffuse the sedan. This is to drive away the demons and ghosts in the sedan, commonly known as "Searching for Sedan"
", is a necessary procedure before getting up in a sedan chair to marry——
The cheers filled the ears, and the procession to welcome the bride was about to set off. Zhang Yuan, wearing the groom's auspicious attire, went to the door and bowed respectfully to the colored sedan. This is called sending off the sedan. According to Shaoxing wedding customs, the groom does not come to the bride's home to welcome the bride.
Just wait at home and accompany the guests.
A group of singers from the catering troupe also followed the wedding procession. Sixteen strong men carried the theater and sang all the way. Hundreds of people followed and watched the excitement, filling the road, just like the gods praying for rain the year before.
meeting--
…
In Wang Siren's mansion near Xinghua Temple, Wang Yingzi is writing at her desk in the study room in the front yard. She likes to read and write in this study room. Like Zhang Yuan, Wang Yingzi has to write an eight-legged essay every day, although she knows it is impossible in this life.
She took part in the imperial examination, but she was still willing to persevere. On her desk was the "Jiao's Brushwork" published by Hanshe Bookstore that Zhang Yuan gave her -
Since Zhang Yuan went to the Imperial Academy last year, Wang Yingzi has been studying very hard like a student about to take the exam, reading classics and history, Yin Fu, Lao Zhuang, Nei Canon, and official and unofficial history. Her sister Wang Jingshu said that she is a book demon.
Although he is a bookworm, he also knows in his heart that his younger sister Yingzi uses reading to relieve her longing for Zhang Yuan——
Wang Jingshu walked in quietly and looked at Yingzi who was writing in a daze. Wang Jingshu shed tears first. Yingzi said in surprise: "Sister, why are you crying!"
Wang Jingshu looked at her younger sister Yingzi intently, and was about to speak, but Yingzi suddenly acted like she was listening and said: "Sister, listen -"
Wang Jingshu concentrated her mind and listened and said: "Someone is singing an opera." Suddenly she realized that this should be the team of Zhang family from Shanyin to marry the girl from Shang family——
The sound of singing and playing gradually approached, and as I passed by the door, I heard the enchanting female voice singing with the melodious flute and sheng:
"If I were to find a romantic son-in-law, how could I be willing to teach you how to draw distant mountain eyebrows? I would rather teach you how to paint a silver vat high in the sky and a brocade tent hanging low. The mandarin ducks and mandarin ducks protruding from the depths of the mandarin flowers stand side by side, and the phoenixes and phoenixes inhabit the sycamore branches."
The voices were noisy and the singing was gradually indistinguishable, but Wang Yingzi already knew that what he was singing was the Yuan opera "The Horse on the Wall". Li Qianjin met Pei Shaojun in Luoyang and eloped with him to Pei's house. Because he had no parents' orders, he hid.
Living in the backyard of Pei's family, she gave birth to a pair of children for Pei Shaojun. There were many twists and turns later, but everyone was happy in the end. Li Qianjin's words and deeds can be described as deviant. She not only bravely pursued love, but also worked hard to maintain her dignity——
Wang Yingzi was lost in thought...
