Zhang Yuan accompanied Zhang Rulin, his uncle, to finish his lunch, and the tea boy served him fragrant tea. This waiter was dedicated to serving Zhang Rulin and was well versed in tea ceremony. Zhang Rulin ordered: "Cook a cup of water for Zhang Yuan, too, from Huiquan. "
After the tea boy got down, he held up a fine porcelain tea cup without moving. Zhang Yuan gently opened the tea cover, and a wisp of fragrance curled up to his nose, refreshing his heart and spleen. He looked at the tea soup, which was as soft and white as jade dew, with a faint fragrance and white color. Taste cold and juicy——
While drinking tea, Zhang Rulin said that in the past, Yuan Hongdao ranked Yangxian Pan Ping Xing first, Tianchi tea second, Usnea tea third, and West Lake Longjing fourth...
Zhang Yuan listened and memorized attentively. These are all knowledge, and this is where he has been influenced by his ears and eyes. Some children from aristocratic families have not studied hard, but their background is extraordinary, all due to the influence of their daily environment.
Halfway through Zhang Rulin's tea, he began to question Zhang Yuan about his reading experience, from the Four Books to "Spring and Autumn", from Tang and Song Dynasty classics to Cheng-Zhu Neo-Confucianism. Zhang Yuan answered fluently. Every time he elaborated, Zhang Rulin nodded frequently and praised: "I thought The books you have listened to once are just rote memorization, but unexpectedly you can master it so well. No wonder Liu Qidong insists on taking you in. Haha, Zhang Ruiyang is so happy to have a son like this."
After sitting for a while, Zhang Yuan resigned and went back. It was still the beautiful maid who led him out of the hanging flower ceremony. The beautiful maid walked slightly sideways and forward. She was wearing a long-sleeved short shirt on the upper body and a biluo blouse on the lower body. The skirt, because the body was twisted a little when walking like that, made the waist appear soft and the buttocks were slightly protruding. Zhang Yuan couldn't help but take a second look and felt that the back looked familiar -
The beautiful maid secretly saw Zhang Yuan looking at her, and her face turned red all of a sudden. She quickened her pace and walked to the flower hanging ceremony door to wait.
Zhang Yuan looked at her flushed face and thought to himself: "What's going on? This maid is so sultry. I only looked at you twice and you got so excited!" He stepped forward and asked in a low voice: "What's your name?" ?”
The maid's face turned even redder, so red that it was bleeding, and she couldn't even raise her head. She said, "Young master Jiezi, please go away. The eldest master has something to tell your maidservant." She turned around and ran back.
Zhang Yuan left the North Courtyard and walked home slowly, thinking to himself: "This maid is not the same Lian Xia who Zhang E cheated me of with the dazzling treasure that day. She looks a bit similar from the back, but that Lian Xia had a full chest." Showing her breasts is very bold, but the maid just now blushes all the time, a bit confused, but why didn't she say her name when I asked her!"
Zhang Yuan had no intention of asking Zhang E about this, no matter who she was, he didn't want to think about it now. He was still young, so it was important to learn eight-parted writing. Although he had some tricks up his sleeve, he still had to keep up with the art of making eight-parted writing.
For the next few days, Zhang Yuan almost stayed at home, listening to books, practicing calligraphy, and studying diligently every day. Fan and Wu Qing guests now admired Zhang Yuan very much. There are always smart people, but smart people are often lazy, so There are few people who are both smart and willing to learn, not to mention that Zhang Yuan is only a fifteen-year-old boy. It is rare to be so diligent and self-disciplined.
…
Mu Zhenzhen from Sandai Street has been visiting Zhang Yuan's house almost every day these days. Early every morning, as long as it doesn't rain, the fallen girl will jog all the way to the Xixing Canal Pier ten miles away to spend five days. Ten copper coins bought thirty kilograms of Xie oranges produced in this county. Xie oranges are also delicious, but they are not as famous as Hangzhou Tangqi mandarins, so they cannot be sold at a good price. That time Mu Zhen really wanted to use Shanyin Xie oranges Pretending to be Tang Qiju in Hangzhou, she was spotted by several gangsters and almost humiliated. After that, she never dared to do that again——
Mu Zhenzhen only bought thirty kilograms at a time, and did not dare to buy more, fearing that he would lose money if the unsold oranges rotted. He put the thirty kilograms of oranges in a basket on his back, ran all the way home, made breakfast, and
The two of them ate together, and while he was away on errands, she carried the oranges to the Dashan Temple Square to sell them. She could earn about six or seven cents from selling ten kilograms of oranges, and it was rare that thirty kilograms of oranges were sold, so after deducting those that were not
The orange book he sold would only earn about ten copper coins a day. At that time, one tael of silver could be exchanged for one thousand three hundred copper coins. It would take Mu Zhenzhen half a year and thousands of miles to earn one tael of silver.
In the morning or afternoon, if the oranges in the basket are almost sold out, Mu Zhenzhen will walk from Dashan Temple to Fuxue Palace, go to Zhang Yuan's house and kowtow to Zhang's mother, Lu, and Zhang's mother, Lu, will leave her
She bought all the several kilograms of oranges she had bought. At first, Mu Zhenzhen felt very sorry, as if there were thorns in her back, and refused to accept the money. She didn't ask the Zhang family to buy the oranges because she couldn't sell them, she came here...
Zhang's mother, Mrs. Lu, saw that the girl with dark clothes and white skin was very uneasy and said: "Really, don't be restrained. My family buys some fruits every day. Zhang Yuan loves to eat fruits and vegetables, and oranges are his favorite."
If you don't bring food, I'll call Cui Gu. Yi Ting went out to buy it. Wouldn't it be easier if you brought it? The money must be collected, and I won't give more. This is what you deserve, but it's only five.
If you don’t accept the six cents, then I won’t dare to ask for your oranges—Yiting, go buy three kilograms of oranges.”
"I'll take it, I'll take it, my little maid took it." Mu Zhenzhen quickly accepted the few coins.
Yiting covered his mouth and laughed.
Mu Zhen was really smart and knew that Mrs. Zhang’s mother Lu said that on purpose, but this way, she felt very comfortable and felt the kindness of Mrs. Zhang’s mother, so she came every day to spend time with Zhang’s mother Lu.
He talked and helped with some chores, while he pricked up his ears to listen to the young master of the Zhang family in the west building. The young master was reading. Oh, it wasn’t the young master who was reading, but the young master who was listening to someone read. Does the young master have bad eyesight?
Mu Zhenzhen has been to the Zhang family several times, but has never seen the young master of the Zhang family once. The young master is always listening to books, and sometimes he hears the young master talking to the gentleman who is studying. Mu Zhenzhen will be refreshed.
She concentrated hard to hear clearly what the young master said, but what the young master said were words from the book, and she could hardly understand a word.
After sitting in the Zhang family's house for a while, saying goodbye to Zhang's mother, the Lu family, Mu Zhenzhen, a fallen girl, went home carrying a bamboo basket on her back. It was six or seven miles away from Fuxue Palace to Sandai Street, and Mu Zhenzhen couldn't walk.
Very briskly, because she couldn't understand what the young master of the Zhang family was saying, which made Mu Zhenzhen feel a little uncomfortable, as if the young master of the Zhang family was far away from her, and she would never see him unless he came out of the study.
―――
Even so, as long as the oranges are almost sold out the next day, Mu Zhenzhen will involuntarily walk towards Fuxue Palace happily and quickly.
When Mu Zhenzhen came over in the afternoon on the fifth day of August, he had just had a conversation with Zhang's mother, Mrs. Lu, when he saw the young master's cousin of the Zhang family came in with a child, smiled and greeted Mrs. Zhang's mother, Mrs. Lu, and also greeted Zhang's mother, Mrs. Lu.
She laughed "ha" and quickly stepped back behind Zhang's mother, Mrs. Lu.
Zhang's mother, Mrs. Lu, said with a smile: "Zhang E, I haven't seen you come to my door for a few days. Have you gone somewhere to play? Come, sit down and talk."
Zhang E said: "My nephew didn't go anywhere. He was originally going to play with Jiezi, but Jiezi was studying all day long. I was bored too. My eldest father also scolded me for being ignorant and incompetent."
Zhang's mother, Lu, said: "Zhang Yuan wanted to bet on eight-part essays with Yao Xiucai, so he worked extra hard these days. This child is also willful, but he made such a bet with others, which makes me worried."
Zhang E said: "Jiezi said he won't lose, so Aunt Wu can rest assured." Hearing the sound of reading coming from the study room in the west building, he raised his voice and said: "Jiezi, stop listening to the book and come out to have a rest. I have something.
show you."
When the sound of reading in the study stopped, Fan Zhen and Zhan Shiyuan walked out first and saw Zhang's mother, Lu, sitting on the porch of the south building. Fan and Zhan quickly bowed deeply, then bowed their hands to Zhang E, and turned around to send him out.
Zhang Yuan said: "Master Jiezi, the two of us will go back first and come back tomorrow."
Zhang Yuan saw Fan off and Zhan came back. When they saw Mu Zhenzhen standing behind their mother, they nodded and said, "Miss Zhenzhen is here."
Mu Zhenzhen's heart was beating wildly, and for a moment he forgot to salute the young master.
Zhang E shouted: "Jiezi, I am here, but you talk to Mu Zhenzhen first. I haven't been here for several days."
Zhang Yuan took Zhang E's hand and said with a smile: "Third brother, don't blame me. Let's go to the room to talk. I will apologize to third brother." He pulled Zhang E into the study and asked, "Why is third brother here alone?"
Zhang E smiled and took out a pamphlet from his arms, and said to Zhang Yuan: "Here are all the evil deeds of Yao Litigation Gun, the year and month, who and what happened, I remember it clearly, there is a mountain of ironclad evidence - I have something to say first
, If you don’t accompany me to Kuaiji, I won’t give you this booklet.”
Zhang Yuan said: "Okay, I'll go with you." He took the booklet and flipped through it page by page.
