The legend of cheating continues gl

Chapter 64 Mei Xin is startled

Yulin's work in the Imperial Academy is also very simple. Although he is a bachelor in name, he is actually just a bachelor of the fifth rank, who accompanies the princes to study every day.Although Emperor Jiaqing compiled a Mongolian identity for Yulin, Yulin basically knew nothing about Mongolian and Manchu.Based on this situation, Yulin not only stepped up learning Mongolian and Manchu every day, but also learned to write those ghostly characters.Fortunately, Yulin is talented and smart, plus he is proficient in English, so it is not difficult to learn foreign languages. In addition, this Manchu language is actually born out of Mongolian language. The Mongolian characters were borrowed and created, so Yulin can understand by analogy.Driven by Yulin, Bao'er also studied hard with Yulin.It's just that she only likes English, so Yulin doesn't force her to learn Mongolian or Manchu. They usually communicate in English, so Bao'er's English is also improving by leaps and bounds.Zhuang Jing occasionally taught Yulin Manchu, and gradually the two could communicate in Manchu.Although Yulin worked hard, she was still ridiculed by Han scholars in the Hanlin Academy. Those attendants, lecturers, doctors of the Five Classics, and even those who were only from the ninth rank looked down on Yulin a little, and called her "Douzi Hanlin" in private, meaning It's because she can't read a few words.The most proud of the Hanlin Academy is the sixth Hanlin——Zhang Congxian, Tongcheng, Anhui.His sixth ancestor, Zhang Ying, has been in the Imperial Academy since the Kangxi Dynasty. A total of 6 people have entered the Imperial Academy for six generations, and the generations have not been interrupted. Zhang Congxian is the grandson of Zhang Ying, which has become a special landscape of Shilin.Yulin observed Zhang Congxian secretly, and found that although he was proud, he was quite upright.Although the Imperial Academy had no real administrative power, they were prestigious Tsinghua University. They were the emperor's literary attendants, and some were actually the emperor's teachers. Their positions were very important.Although the Hanlin Academy is a veritable "Qingshui Yamen", some of the Hanlins are so poor that they have to rely on borrowing to live. Their only chance to "collect money" is to let an examiner accept some filial piety from their disciples and disciples to pay back what they usually owe to the merchants. debt.But even so, the rich and powerful had to deal with them.Because they have pens in their hands and have the special right to speak given by the emperor, the Hanlins form a "clear stream", and when they see the right time, often a memorial can shake or even destroy a powerful power faction.Therefore, in order to stabilize their status, many local officials tried to win over the Hanlin.In summer, we should give them "ice tribute" and in winter, we should send them "charcoal tribute", offering them white silver or large stacks of silver tickets with both hands.Bribery like this has become a normal exchange in the officialdom, and the emperor turned a blind eye and did not pursue it.But Yulin noticed that Zhang Congxian never accepted these bribes, so Yulin took a liking to Zhang Congxian.

Soon it will be the Lantern Festival.The Shangyuan Festival runs from the [-]th day to the [-]th day of the first lunar month. All officials are in court service for three days.The Hanlin Academy, where Yulin lives, has no major affairs, so since the first month of the first month, they can fish for three days and hang nets for two days, but the palace is full of "three banquets in Shangyuan".The "Three Banquets of Shangyuan" started from the hands of Qianlong. Every year, there are clan banquets on the [-]th of the first lunar month, foreign vassal banquets on the [-]th of the first lunar month, and court ministers' banquets on the [-]th of the first lunar month.

At the clan banquet on the fourteenth day of the first lunar month, Yulin and Zhuang Jing attended together.Emperor Jiaqing saw Yulin and Zhuang Jing with a smile on his face, and his messenger rewarded them with the watermelon tribute from Taiwan.Holding the watermelon, Yu Lin thought in his heart, it is really not easy to eat watermelon in the capital in such a season, no wonder everyone in the world wants to get promoted and get rich.

Zhuang Jing saw Yu Lin not eating for a long time, holding the watermelon in a daze, and thought to herself, although she has to attend the clan banquet with me today, she still thinks of Miss Bao'er in her heart.I've been letting them be together and making them inseparable, but they still seem ungrateful.Holding the watermelon now, could it be that she wants to give one to her girl Bao'er.Thinking of this, I feel resentful.

In the middle of the banquet, Zhuang Jing pretended to be unwell and asked Emperor Jiaqing to resign.Yu Lin hurriedly stood up and said that she wanted to send Zhuang Jing back to the mansion, but Zhuang Jing said: "It's rare for the emperor to gather with all the clan members today, and it's already a disaster for me to leave. If you want to leave, don't you make the clan members laugh? I have someone to serve me, so I won't bother my son-in-law."

Jiaqing also smiled and said: "What the emperor said is very true, Ruhai, we will sing poems and compose poems later, you can stay."

Zhuang Jing had to leave the Qing Palace, feeling sad, seeing that it was getting late, but outside the palace, the carp lanterns, jade lanterns, glazed lanterns, bead lanterns, sheepskin lanterns, and Luobo lanterns complemented each other beautifully.The jade lantern is mostly made of white jade, shining brightly, like a jade pot made of clear ice.In the eyes of everyone, it is extraordinarily dazzling, but in the eyes of Zhuang Jing, it is deserted.The boneless lamp is decorated with patterns such as dragons and fish patterns, which are divided into light and emerald.The revolving lantern powered by water flow and thermal airflow, with stories of the number one scholar parading through the streets, the Eight Immortals celebrating his birthday, and Taoyuan's marriage, is very lively, but in Zhuang Jing's view, the excitement belongs to others.

Approaching the Princess Garden, Zhuang Jing saw another Kongming lantern rising into the night sky.Zhuang Jing looked up, but there was a sentence on the Kongming lantern: "The extreme of wisdom will be hurt, and the deep love will not last." Zhuang Jing's heart moved, and she ordered people to stop the phoenix chariot, and walked towards the dimly lit place.

When I got closer, what I saw was an ice lantern five or six feet high in the open space.The strange thing is that the ice lantern garden is like a beautiful girl with icy skin and skin, with candles lit inside, she looks like a crystal person.There was a young man standing with his back facing the beauty of the ice lamp. The man held a fife in his hand and put it to his mouth. It looked like he was playing it, but he couldn't hear the slightest sound.

Zhuang Jing thought to herself, is this the person who puts the Kongming lanterns every night?So he tentatively read a sentence: "Dream into Yanshui Road in the south of the Yangtze River, travel all the way to the south of the Yangtze River, and never meet Liren." The man didn't look back, but read a sentence written by Zhuang Jing on the Kongming Lantern: "If it weren't for the deep love Self-restraint, how can you be so soft and cold?"

Zhuang Jing was overjoyed and said, "So you are the one who puts the Kongming lanterns every night."

But the man said in a low voice: "Dry up, the fish are on the land, wet each other, soak each other with foam, it is better to forget each other in the rivers and lakes." What the man said actually came from a fable in "Zhuangzi·The Great Master". It is two fishes who are forced to breathe on each other because the spring water has dried up, and wet each other with their mouth foam to keep them moist.But what they miss is still the free life they didn't know each other in the rivers and lakes in the past.

Hearing what this man said, Zhuang Jing suddenly felt clear in her chest, and said with a smile, "Exactly. If I knew today, why did I..."

The man asked: "What is the explanation? I would like to hear the details."

Zhuang Jing said: "These two fish seem to be deeply in love with each other like the sea, but they really can't help it. They may have a way to choose to leave before the spring dries up, but they may not leave because they are greedy for their children's love for a while. When the world sees When they seem to have a loving side, they don’t know that they regret it in their hearts, and they all miss the free life that they didn’t know each other.”

The man clapped his hands a few times and said, "Sure enough, it's true insight. In fact, the most difficult thing to do in the world is only two words: 'no regrets'. Some people and things are pushed away by the current situation. If they can start over , do you think, would the two fish choose to 'forget each other in the rivers and lakes' or 'be in love with each other'?"

Zhuang Jing was speechless for a moment, thinking in her heart, yes, if time could be turned back, would I choose to still fall in love with Jiang Yulin?

The man seemed to sense Zhuang Jing's doubts, and turned his head slightly.

Zhuang Jing said "ah", she was indeed frightened by this handsome man, his face was blue-gray, expressionless.It is unspeakably ugly under the illumination of night lights.

The man said: "I think I scare the girl. In fact, a long time ago, I had a good skin and provoked many love affairs. But there are only two people I love the most..."

Zhuang Jing said: "If you want, I can be a listening ear."

The man said: "It's okay not to mention the past... In fact, have you noticed that this ice lamp is very like a person?"

Zhuang Jing took a closer look and found that the ice beauty did look like a person, but who it was seemed impossible to say for a while.

The man said: "The most familiar ones are also the most unfamiliar ones. I think I have good carving skills, but it turns out..."

Zhuang Jing suddenly realized that the ice beauty was very similar to herself.

Zhuang Jing took a step back, and the man laughed and said, "Actually, on the day Gege and Qin's son-in-law got married, I was lucky enough to see Gege's true face...just..." He turned his head slightly and let out a long sigh.

Zhuang Jing has always been curious about this man.Although his appearance is terrifying, he speaks politely and his voice is particularly magnetic, adding a lot of sympathy points.Besides, he puts the Kongming lanterns every night, thinking that he misses the love he has been away from.

Zhuang Jing said: "So you already knew I was Ge Ge."

The man said: "Yes. To be honest with Ge Ge, my sweetheart is also very similar to Ge Ge."

Zhuang Jing felt a little disappointed, and said: "It turns out that the person you sculpted is your sweetheart... What's wrong with her now?"

The man said: "It doesn't really matter who I sculpt, the important thing is that both of us are people who are sad, hurt, hurt, and hurt."

Zhuang Jing said: "I see that you hold the jade flute. Could it be that you like to play the flute and the flute, my lord?"

The man said: "Ge Ge can take a look at this flute, do you think it can play beautiful music?"

Zhuang Jing walked over and took the flute from the man, but found that the flute had no membrane at all.There are three sound holes on the front, and the back hole is between the second and third holes.A snake-head-shaped double-reed whistle is inserted into the mouth of the upper end of the tube body.

Seeing that Zhuang Jing was holding the double-reed whistle, the man said: "The thing Ge Ge is holding is called Guan Whistle, and it is made of insect cocoons. This is a moth sac that I picked from wild wormwood trees in the Nanhua River Valley of Chuxiong Prefecture." Made it. This flute is called the muffled flute, and it is the favorite instrument of the Yi people.” Then, he took the muffled flute back, held it to his lips, and played a song.The sound of the flute is sometimes resentful, sometimes high-pitched, sometimes sad, and sometimes tactful.The sound of the flute lingered in the night, and deep emotions permeated Zhuang Jing's heart with the sound of the flute.

After the man finished playing, neither of them spoke for a long time.Later, Zhuang Jing let out a "huh" and said, "This ice beauty seems to be melting."

The man said: "I spent three days and three nights making this ice beauty. I was afraid that it would melt, so I added alum water on purpose. It's a pity that when spring comes, she will eventually melt."

Zhuang Jing said: "You know the ice sculptures in the north, and you know the muffled flute in the south...Young master is really versatile."

The man said indifferently: "What's the use of knowing more? If you fail to meet the right person at the right time, what's the use no matter how good you are?" After finishing speaking, he silently took the muffler into his arms and said: "Take care, Gege, I'm leaving."

Zhuang Jing said: "Your surname?"

The man said: "Guanshan is difficult to cross, who is sad for those who have lost their way; when we meet by chance, they are all guests from other places. Why should Gege care about me?" As he spoke, he actually drifted away.

Zhuang Jing felt melancholy, and asked someone to carry the phoenix chariot to the Princess Garden.Inexplicably, I thought of a poem by Li Qingzhao:

Rattan bed and paper tents sleep in the morning, endless talk, no good thoughts.The agarwood is intermittently cold in the jade furnace, and my feelings are like water with me.The sound of the flute plays three times, Mei's heart is broken, how much spring travel.

The small wind dredged the rain, and it made Qianxing cry again.The person who plays the flute goes to Yulou to be empty, who will he lean on with a heartbroken heart?If a branch is broken, no one can send it to the world or the sky.
