After Yuan Chaonian left with the contract and money, Zhang Yuan said to Wu Ling: "Xiao Wu, we are going to sit on the ice bed by the Paozi River in the afternoon. You and Uncle Yao go to Zongzi's place to move the myopia glasses, dimming glasses, and incense glasses to Dengshi Street.
Hanshe Bookstore sells them. The retail price is 4 liang and 5 qian for the dimming glasses, 6 liang and 5 qian for the myopia glasses, and 4 liang for the incense mirrors. They are all slightly higher than the price in Sanyin. The freight for transporting the four thousand miles to the capital must be taken into account.
- Money is a little tight at the end of this year, so I just rely on the money from selling glasses to celebrate the New Year."
Wu Ling smiled and agreed, but he wanted to say something but hesitated.
Zhang Yuan asked: "Xiao Wu, what do you have to say?"
Wu Ling scratched the back of his head and giggled, still unable to speak.
Xue Tong on the side said loudly: "Mr. Jiezi, Brother Xiao Wu wants to marry Sister Yunjin."
Zhang Yuan laughed loudly, patted Wu Ling on the shoulder and said: "Don't worry, Xiao Wu, I have already made plans - let me ask you, do you and Yun Jin want to get married before the year or wait until the first month of the new year?" Shang Danran had already consulted Yun Jin.
Yun Jin agreed to marry Wu Ling. Wu Ling was eighteen years old this year and Yun Jin was sixteen years old. They were both of suitable age for marriage.
Xue Tong shouted: "We will get married tonight, Brother Xiao Wu can't wait any longer."
"Let's go." Wu Ling pushed Xue Tong, scratched his head and said to Zhang Yuan: "It all depends on the young master and the young mistress."
Zhang Yuandao: "Today is the twenty-fifth day of the twelfth lunar month, so let's put it in the first lunar month. Marriage is a major event and we can't be too hasty."
Wu Ling nodded repeatedly, grinning from ear to ear with joy. The two young men, Xue Tong and Baima, started asking Brother Xiao Wu for drinks and drinks. Zhang Yuan went inside and told Shang Danran about this. Shang Danran smiled and said, "Okay, please come tomorrow."
Qingmoshan people choose a good day and take care of it. Yun Jin has been with me since she was six years old, I can't treat her badly."
Yun Jin was beside her, her face flushed with embarrassment, and she shyly thanked her uncle and the young lady. Yun Jin used to think that Wu Ling was short, but Wu Ling had grown a lot taller in the past two years. Wu Ling was a close confidant of her uncle and was also handsome. After she married Wu Ling,
Yun Jin is very satisfied that he can still be by the lady's side.
…
At noon, three North Korean envoys, Liu Dongming, Xu Yun, and Jin Zhongqing, arrived on time and brought two large gift boxes to Zhang Yuan. They said they were local rites from a remote small country and asked Zhang Xiu to write them down. There is oil.
Zhang Yuan thanked them for the relatively inexpensive Korean specialties such as coriander, tissue paper, and pens and inks, as well as the more valuable gems, crystals, and ginseng.
Wang Wei in the inner courtyard cooked tea and asked Hui Xiang to serve it to entertain the guests. Wang Wei had been drinking tea from the master of tea ceremony Min Wenshui for several years, and he also learned a good tea art. Xu Jun, Jin Zhongqing, went to the Ming Dynasty many times, but never tasted it
I had such a good tea and couldn’t stop praising it.
Liu Dongming took out the memorial drafted by Jin Zhongqing last night to be presented to the Ming Emperor at the Zhengdan court meeting. Zhang Yuan was not polite when he asked for his opinion. Zhang Yuan was not polite and made some suggestions for modification. Liu Dongming expressed his admiration, and after returning, he followed what Zhang Yuan said.
Revise.
Zhang Yuan asked about the outcome of the trial of the Weitai Restaurant case. Jin Zhongqing said: "Before this afternoon, I went to the Jinyiwei Yamen to visit Wang Qianhu. Wang Qianhu said that the Jurchen spy named Ang Aba who had been caught did not speak.
, If the shopkeeper surnamed Zhai hadn't confessed that Ang Aba was Niulu Ezhen from Zhengbai Banner in Jianzhou, Wang Qianhu and the others would have really thought that Ang Aba was mute. This Jurchen spy had been a mute since the day he was captured.
He refused to eat. His wrist was broken and he is now dying. It seems that it will be difficult to get this person to confess."
Zhang Yuandao: "It's a pity that we couldn't catch the red-faced scholar. That red-faced scholar is most likely Hei Huan, the leader of Jianzhou Zhengbai Banner. Did the three envoys know Hei Huan?"
Liu Dongming and Jin Zhongqing looked at each other, and Jin Zhongqing said: "Hei is the eighth son of Nurhachi. We have only heard of his name and have never seen him before."
Zhang Yuan noticed that Liu Dongming had a different look on his face, and Jin Zhongqingying was talking a lot. He thought: "Guanghai Lord and Nurhachi have always had contacts. Liu Dongming is the uncle of the state, so he must be aware of the inside story. As far as I know, in the
Before the Battle of Sarhu, Lord Guanghai was forced to send troops to help the battle under the pressure of the Ming Dynasty. After the war, Lord Guanghai tried to maintain neutrality on both sides. Brother Xu once wrote to Emperor Wanli, asking to send ministers to the battle.
North Korea supervised the country so that it could control North Korea and contain the invasion of South Korea by Jin Dynasty. Senior Brother Xu was very knowledgeable. However, the ministers of North Korea and China still held the so-called benevolence and generosity of the sovereign power and failed to support Brother Xu's suggestion. In fact, during extraordinary times,
There is precedent for the suzerain country to send people to guard the subject country, and it is completely feasible——"
Xu Yun and Jin Zhongqing were both liberal Confucian scholars in Korea. Naturally, they had to have a long chat with the Ming Dynasty's new scholar, citing scriptures and drinking tea. Deputy envoy Xu Yun was an admirer of Li Zhi, and this time he found Li Zhi's "Book Burning" in Beijing.
, regarded it as a treasure, Xu Jun knew that Zhang Yuan's teacher Jiao Hong and Li Zhi were good friends. Jiao Hong once published sixty-eight volumes of "Collection of Books" compiled by Li Zhi. However, after Li Zhi died in prison, some of his works were ordered to be burned by the Ministry of Rites.
In recent years, the ban has been relaxed, and Li Zhi's books have appeared in the market again. However, there is no new edition of "Collection of Books" because it has more than 60 volumes. Xu Jun found out from Zhang Yuan's remarks that Zhang Yuan also admired Li Zhi, not
Those traditional Confucian scholars who regard Li Zhi's teachings as poisonous snakes and fierce beasts want to ask Zhang Yuan to write to a friend in Nanjing to find a set of "Book Collection"——
Zhang Yuan smiled and said: "Deputy Ambassador Xu, it's not that I'm unwilling to help, but Li Zhuowu's book is regarded as heresy by many people in the Ming Dynasty. If it spreads to your country through my hands, I'm afraid it won't be appropriate to spread it."
Xu Jun's face suddenly turned red, he left his seat and bowed his head, saying: "I'm presumptuous, don't blame Zhang Xiuzan."
Zhang Yuan returned the courtesy and said: "It's not surprising that Deputy Ambassador Xu loves books." He thought to himself: "It is very difficult for me to introduce Western learning, and the great debates have had limited effect. Why should Wang learn from the leftist Li Zhi?
The doctrine disrupts the Confucian tradition of North Korea. For North Korea, now is not the time to change its academic thinking. It is more useful to promote the loyalty, justice, benevolence, filial piety and talents of orthodox Confucianism. North Korea is loyal to the Ming Dynasty——"
After talking for half an hour, Jin Zhongqing saw maids frequently peeking outside the hall. Guessing that Zhang Yuan had something else to do, he whispered a few words to Liu Dongming, and the three North Korean envoys stood up to leave.
Zhang Yuan walked out of the gate and said goodbye to Liu Dongming and the others. When he turned around, he saw Jing Hui smiling at him inside the golden pillar gate and said, "Uncle, I drove your guests away."
Zhang Yuan smiled and said: "Xiao Hui is here, let's set off to the bank of Paozi River."
At this time, Qi Biaojia came from the Ministry of War Residence. She wanted to accompany her fiancée Shang Jinglan to enjoy the snow scenery and sit on the ice bed. Shang Danran also liked to play, so he brought the nine-month-old Xiao Hongjian with him. Wang Wei, Mu
Zhenzhen went there, hired three big trucks, and went to the Paozi River. There were many people playing on the ice bed, both men and women. There was no free ice bed. I could hear a woman singing a Suzhou ditty on the sliding ice bed.
There were men laughing loudly. They must be the wealthy children of Beijing taking prostitutes for fun. Zhang Yuan was here with female relatives, so it was difficult to get in among the men and women playing on the ice bed, so he went to Zhang Lianfang's mansion to wait.
Shang Danran took Xiao Hongjian to talk to Zhang Dai's wife Liu——
Zhang Yaofang went to Xicheng to visit the Chenghuang Temple Fair but before returning, Zhang Dai heard that Zhang Yuan had brought his family members to play on the ice bed, so he said: "I'll go ask and give some money to make those people leave and free up the lake here." He hurried to the back garden.
When they went there, they often used money to clear the way. Zhang Dai and Zhang E were very similar in this respect, they were both dandies.
Zhang Yuan asked Wu Ling and Uncle Yao to move the glasses from Hanshe Jingfang to the bookstore on Dengshi Street. When they were moving the boxes and cages, they suddenly saw Huixiang running in from behind, panting, shouting: "Mr. Jiezi, Mr. Zongzi."
We got into a quarrel with someone, and those people made fun of Wei Gu and Kerr——"
Zhang Yuan frowned and hurried towards the back garden. Uncle Yao, Wu Ling, and Xue Tong all followed. Zhang Lianfang's mansion was located on the west bank of the Paozi River. The back garden faced the Paozi River. Zhang Yuan came out.
At the wooden gate of the back garden, I saw a large number of people gathered by the frozen river. People who were playing on the ice now gathered around. The eldest brother Zhang Dai was quarreling with a few men in brocade hats and mink fur coats.
, Wang Wei, Li Keer stood further back, and several maids and maids were also helping Zhang Dai scold those people——
Zhang Yuan walked over and asked Zhang Dai: "Brother, what's going on?"
Before Zhang Dai could reply, he suddenly heard a woman standing on an ice bed in Paozi River shouting in surprise: "Isn't this the head of the case?" It was clearly a Shaoxing accent.
"Zhang Anshou, is this the title of the Year of the Monkey and the Horse and the Moon?"
Zhang Yuan looked intently and saw that the woman in the ice bed had already stood up and stepped off the ice bed. Unexpectedly, her little foot slipped and she fell down. He tried to get up but slipped again. How could Jin Lian's little feet walk on the ice?
The woman in the red dress simply knelt down on the ice, bowed to Zhang Yuan and said: "Zhang Zhang doesn't recognize the slave family anymore. The slave family is Wu Lingchun from the Guanwang Temple in Shanyin."
Zhang Yuan softly said "Ah", Wu Lingchun, I remember that that year he won the first prize in the county examination, and was forcefully invited by his third brother Zhang E to drink at the Baihua Restaurant near Guanwang Temple. At that time, there were seven prostitutes accompanying him.
Wu Lingchun was one of them. Wu Lingchun was very articulate and could sing very well. His name had one more character than Wu Ling, so he left a deep impression on Zhang Yuan. He just didn’t know why Wu Lingchun had arrived in the capital. Of course, he was not reminiscing with a prostitute from his hometown.
when--
Zhang Yuan nodded to Wu Lingchun and asked his eldest brother Zhang Dai what happened?
Zhang Dai said angrily: "Let Kerr tell you, I arrived later."
Li Keer then said: "My eldest son, my husband, made a small ice bed for me. I want to play on it with my aunt by the river. These people -" pointed at the men in brocade hats and mink fur coats, "these people
They just came over and teased me, and I scolded them. Then my eldest son came over, and these people actually asked my eldest son to apologize to them!"
Wang Wei and Li Ke'er were both beauties selected from ten thousand, and their clothing was the rule of the concubines. These frivolous men thought it was okay to tease a few words, but they didn't expect that Wang Wei and Li Ke'er were so unforgiving and scolded them that they became angry when they saw Zhang Dai coming over.
, knowing that they were Zhang Dai's concubines, they asked Zhang Dai to apologize to them. These men obviously had powerful backgrounds and were a bit stupid, otherwise they would not be so arrogant. You must know that most of the people living by the Paozi River are officials...
Please give me a recommendation vote in the new year.!~!
