Chapter 55

The location of Dongfang Jiange is Niushou Mountain outside Jiangning City. Niushou Mountain is located in the southern suburbs of Jiangning City. It meanders between the Yangtze River and the outer Qinhuai River in the hilly area. It is connected to Cuiping Mountain to the north and Zutang Mountain to the south. The mountains are evenly matched and unique, shaped like a bull's head.

Shuangqi, hence the name Niushou Mountain. Niushou Mountain has been planted with peach trees for some time. Now in the spring of March, the peach blossoms are blooming all over the mountain. There are also a large number of white hydrangeas dotted among them. There are lush bamboos in the forest and the peach blossoms are blooming. At dusk, the twilight

The sky is vast, the clouds are steaming and the clouds are rising, and the "ox-headed smoke hill" is intoxicating and beautiful. "The cow-headed place in spring, the clouds in autumn" is an ancient style.

Yunzheng never came to Jiangning in his previous life, but the name of Niushou Mountain is still as loud as any other. This is probably because in May of the fourth year of Jianyan of the Southern Song Dynasty (1103) by Yue Fei and Yue Wumu'er, Yue Fei set up an ambush in Niushou Mountain, and the Yue family's army collected stones on the spot.

After building fortifications and ambushing the Jin soldiers at Niushoushan, he took advantage of the victory and pursued them, driving the Jin soldiers across the river and regaining Jiankang (Jiangning in the book, now Nanjing)

However, the current history of the Wei Dynasty has completely changed, and Prince Yue will probably never appear again. Moreover, according to time estimates, it has not yet reached the year when Prince Yue was born. However, Yunzheng, as a person who knows Yue Fei, still treats him very much.

admired

Yue Fei has a famous saying that has been passed down for nearly a thousand years: "Civil officials do not love money, military officials are willing to die, and the world is at peace." According to records, after he became a high-ranking official, his income was quite high, but he always maintained a rather simple life. His wife Li Wa once wore

Yue Fei insisted that she replace the silk fabrics with low-grade linen clothes. His private wealth was very rich, but he often turned his private wealth into public and used his private wealth to subsidize the military. Once, he sold off the items in the house, resulting in two thousand bows. After he was killed

After ransacking his home, he found that there was no gold, jade or jewelry at all, and the only valuables were more than 3,000 bolts of linen and silk, and more than 5,000 hu of rice and wheat. Obviously, he was preparing to supplement the military. With his actions, he fulfilled his mother-in-law's expectation of "serving the country with loyalty."

Because he was framed by the treacherous minister Qin Hui, Prince Yue failed to complete his great cause of resisting the Jin Dynasty and was brutally executed. Qin Hui has been reviled by the people for thousands of years, but Yue Fei's loyalty will last forever between heaven and earth, and he will always be respected by future generations.

Prince Yue is also mentioned again and again in "The Condor Shooting", and his admiration is evident on the page.

As for some later generations of "scholars" questioning Yue Fei's title of national hero, Yun Zheng has always believed that it was just a matter of grandstanding. Their main reason is simply that Yue Fei was not fighting against British and French imperialism or the Japanese invaders, but against the Jin Dynasty, and the Jin Dynasty is also within the scope of today's China.

, both belong to the Chinese nation, so Yue Fei’s resistance to the Jin Dynasty was just a civil war among the Chinese...

According to this logic, assuming that the future world is really a world of great harmony, wouldn't our descendants say that today's warriors guarding the border are actually narrow-minded nationalists? Suppose that the invaders invaded our country yesterday, now or tomorrow

, after many years we belong to the same country and nation, can we surrender early and stop the trouble, so that our descendants will not describe our resistance with our lives and blood as "brothers fighting against each other and fighting in the family" - this is not the case!

"It's a pity that Prince Yue is missing from Niushou Mountain. I'm afraid it will be difficult for him to be as famous as the later generations." Yun Zheng shook his head and muttered to himself. Suddenly he was stunned. Yue Fei is a tragic figure. Without Yue Fei, the most important thing is probably not

The problem that Niushou Mountain is not famous is that the Chinese nation lacks a national hero who fought against the Hunu as a spiritual model for future generations.

Forget it, you can’t blame me for this anyway, and it’s not me who messed up this history. No Jin people went south, and at least the war in the Central Plains was avoided, right?

Gently pinching the horse's belly, Wuyun Taxue, whose speed was suppressed under his crotch, immediately ran out happily. He did not have the leisure and leisure to enjoy the mountain scenery like Yunzheng. He only had two hobbies: eating and running.

----------------------------------------While the dark clouds were happily running up the mountain on the snow, the east

There were people in the Jiange looking worried and frowning.

"Sister Wuqing, do you think he is too angry to come back?"

The person asking the question was dressed in a light blue emerald smoked sweater, a pleated skirt with scattered floral water mist and sea waves, and a thin veil of autumn water. The shoulders looked as if they were cut into pieces, the waist was as plain as a knot, and the muscles were like condensed fat. Although the aura was just thinner than Orchid,

Who is Nangong Wuyu, who is not Nangong Wuyu who first went south to Jiangning in a majestic manner?

The person who was walking towards her was also a girl, about eighteen or nineteen years old, wearing a light green dress with light blue peonies embroidered on the cuffs, a few auspicious clouds outlined with silver thread, and a dense hem.

There is a row of blue sea water clouds, and the chest is wrapped in a wide piece of light yellow brocade. When walking, the body trembles slightly, the long skirt spreads out, and the gestures are as graceful as the wind blowing willows.

However, such a graceful woman does not look "beautiful" at all. Instead, people feel that she is fresh and natural, just like the morning air and sunshine.

Nangong Wuyu can be called "Sister Wuqing", in this Dongfang Jiange, naturally it can only be Dongfang Wuqing.

She smiled softly: "If the young eunuch is really as good as you say, why would he be angry because you didn't come with him?"

Nangong Wuyu said distressedly: "That's not the case, Sister Wuqing. After he was assassinated in Yangzhou, he first went to Suzhou and delayed for two or three days before coming to Jiangning. When he arrived in Jiangning, he went directly to the governor's Yamen. He hasn't come out yet. I

I’m afraid that he’ll be upset and won’t want to come.”

Dongfang Wuqing was amused, thinking that Wu Yu might be a little tempted by the Young Prison Ling, otherwise why would he care so much about his thoughts and actions? He couldn't help but laugh and said: "Wu Yu, don't worry, I heard that Wuxue and the Young Prison Ling are actually good friends."

We are getting along well, Aunt Ning is planning to ask the young supervisor to ask Wuxue to be his sister. If he is really angry, just ask Wuxue to help, and nothing will happen."

These words were originally words of persuasion, but unexpectedly, Nangong Wuyu's expression became more and more distressed after hearing this. Dongfang Wuqing was originally a smart person. After a slight start, he realized that Ning Wanyue's two maids were married to Beishan Zangfeng respectively.

and Nangong Yinhai, but somehow, Beishan Wuxue and Nangong Wuyu always had some differences after they grew up, and seemed to insist on competing. If Wuyu really has some interest in the young prison order, he said

If Wuxue comes forward to make peace, it will really be more and more helpful.

After thinking about it for a moment, and then thinking about it the other way around, she came to an even more surprising estimate: Girl Wu Yu, why do you care so much about the perception of the Young Prison Order just to break up with Wuxue?

But she didn't feel comfortable asking about this, so she had to say: "Young Prison Ling has a special status. Maybe he is really busy and didn't come earlier. Why should my sister think about it too much? Maybe everyone has already gone up the mountain.

On the way”

Nangong Wuyu pursed her lips: "That girl is so cold all day long, I don't know how Yun Zheng and her can get along." She suddenly thought thoughtfully and said doubtfully: "Sister Wu Qing, you said...

Could it be that that girl is so cold only in front of us? Maybe she seems to be a different person when she is in front of Yunzheng, trying different ways to make him happy all day long?"

Dongfang Wuqing chuckled: "Sister Wuxue has a cold and cold temperament, but she is only cold to us... If you think about it, she is the best in martial arts among the four of us since she was a child, and she is cold.

She is also smart. When she was only a few years old, she could analyze information thoroughly and meticulously. Even the Lord praised her very much. It is reasonable for a woman who has had a sense of superiority since she was a child to have a cold temper. Besides, she is very fond of her.

Those men are much colder than us."

"Really? What kind of cold method?" Nangong Wuyu asked curiously

Dongfang Wuqing said with a smile: "There is a disciple named Yan Jinwen over there in the Beige. He has the courage to confess to Wuxue because he is quite good among his peers. As a result, Wuxue asked him to go to the Guyang River outside the village.

Wait for her"

Nangong Wuyu was surprised and opened his eyes wide: "Is this how she agreed to that person named Yan?"

Dongfang Wuqing smiled narrowly, "Yes, that's how I agreed."

Nangong Wuyu blinked twice, and suddenly looked like I didn't believe it: "No, no, I also know that Yan Jinwen, although his martial arts is good, but... I'm afraid it's not as good as that girl. That girl's heart is so high, how can she

Will you agree to him?"

"Haha, Wu Yu is really smart!" Dongfang Wuqing said with a smile: "That senior brother Yan... Wuxue naturally doesn't like him, but asking him to wait in Guyang River is a real thing."

Nangong Wuyu was stunned for a moment, and suddenly realized: "Could she want to teach that guy a lesson?"

Dongfang Wuqing made a sad look on his face and said, "Poor senior brother Yan. When he was picked up by the brothers the next day, he had forty-seven bruises on his body, and one of his heads was completely beaten into a pig's head. Although the injury was

No one hit the vital point, but the image was...horrible."

Nangong Wuyu couldn't help but laugh. He laughed for a while and then said, "This girl finally did something interesting for once... Well, sister Wuqing, how do you know about this?"

Dongfang Wuqing said: "At that time, I designed a new hand crossbow, and Aunt Ning asked me to send the drawings there in person, so I went north to Yanjing. Hejian Mansion, where the Beige is located, was on the way there.

I just went to Beige to meet Uncle Beishan, and this happened to me."

Nangong Wuyu just said "Oh" to express his understanding. Just as he was about to speak again, he suddenly heard the sound of soft footsteps outside. It sounded like the footsteps of a little maid. Both of them had been practicing martial arts since childhood, so naturally they heard

It was obvious that he did not continue the conversation, but waited for the little maid to report.

Sure enough, a little maid said outside the door: "Miss, there is a Mr. Yun coming outside. He looks very much like the one whom the lady has told to call at any time. Do you want to see him now?"

Dongfang Wuqing said: "Please quickly invite Mr. Yun to sit in the middle hall for a while. Also tell him that the owner of the village is in retreat. Miss Nangong and I will be there soon." The little maid quickly received the order and went

Dongfang Wuqing looked at Nangong Wuyu with a smile and joked: "How about Wuyu, now you feel relieved?"

Nangong Wuyu's face turned red: "What are you worried about...I'm just afraid that if he doesn't come, it will delay the delivery of my goods."

Dongfang Wuqing didn't say anything, just looked at her and smiled. Nangong Wuyu said angrily: "Sister Wuqing, why do you look at me like this! I'm not a handsome young man, am I worthy of your gaze?"

Dongfang Wuqing smiled and said: "What kind of young master Pianpianjia can be as handsome as our Wuyu?"

Nangong Wuyu stamped his feet angrily, and suddenly laughed: "Where is there not one? There is one in the nave outside! Come, Sister Wuqing, I will take you to see it!" After saying that, he took Dongfang Wuqing's hand and headed toward him.

walk outside

----------------------------------------Yunzheng is currently using it in the central hall outside.

Tea, but he is not a practical tea person. While drinking tea, he looked at a pair of calligraphy and paintings hanging on the nave.

What Yun Zheng is looking at right now is Zhang Xuan's "Pounding Practice Picture" on the side wall. Yun Zheng himself does not understand these things. The only Chinese painters he knows are Xu Beihong, Zhang Daqian, and Qi Baishi, who are somewhat familiar with them.

The only one who knew about it was Wu Daozi, who was mentioned in history textbooks like Yan Liben and still had some impressions. As for Zhang Xuan, he knew it all based on the memory of "Yun Zheng" he inherited. To be honest, the previous Yun Zheng

Although he likes martial arts, his foundation in culture is actually quite good. At least he has some understanding of these "arty" things.

Zhang Xuan is a native of Jingzhao (Xi'an City, Shaanxi Province). During the Kaiyuan Dynasty, he was a painting director of the History Museum and was "good at drafting". He was very good at painting pavilions, trees, flowers and birds, and was especially good at painting of ladies.

In Zhang Xuan's paintings, most of the aristocratic women have prominent features such as curved eyebrows, plump cheeks, plump bodies, and complicated and gorgeous clothing and headdresses. They are called "Qiluo characters."

Most of the ladies had elegant bones and clear appearance, thin clothes and wide sleeves. In the painting theory works of this period, the lady painters were called "Qinggong Qiluo". In the Tang and Five Dynasties when the development of lady paintings reached the middle stage, Zhu Jingxuan began to write in "Famous Paintings of the Tang Dynasty".

The images of ladies created by painters known as "ladies" also evolved into the images depicted in Zhang Xuan's paintings, in order to be more in line with the aesthetic taste of the rulers of the dynasty. In the Tang Dynasty, painters who specialized in ladies included Zhang Xuan, Zhou Li, etc.

, Zhang Xuan is Zhou Fang’s teacher. Her exquisite and beautiful workmanship represents the typical style of lady paintings in the Tang Dynasty.

Of course, these are not the issues that Yun Zheng cares about. What he cares about is that due to the passage of time, most of Zhang Xuan's paintings have been lost. Unexpectedly, he saw one in Dongfang Jiange today, so Yun Zheng used his half-heartedness to

After admiring the quality for a while, he came to the conclusion: This is probably an authentic piece, but... Yun Zheng frowned and thought to himself, since this thing is from the Tang Dynasty, how can it be so well preserved? It seems like

It’s been just a few years since I painted it. It’s really strange.

When Yun Zheng was confused, he heard a soft and elegant voice saying: "I made random graffiti a few years ago, but unexpectedly it was seen by the young prisoner today. It really made Wu Qing feel embarrassed."

When Yun Zheng heard this voice, he couldn't help being surprised, and a trace of embarrassment flashed in his heart. Could it be that it was not Zhang Xuan's original painting, but a painting by a girl? Turning around, he saw Nangong Wuyu walking in with an elegant girl.

Since the person who spoke just now was not Nangong Wuyu, then it must be this girl. Yun Zheng's heart moved. Could this girl be the daughter of the pavilion master again?

----------Dividing line----------The weather in Changsha is really unpredictable. The sun was shining brightly during the day yesterday, but it started raining at night. I don’t know when it started raining. It hurt me.

The cold has gotten a little worse. Although I don't take colds seriously due to my youth, my head is always a little groggy. That's 4,000 for today. I'll see if I can get more tomorrow.
