Jiayu Village of Red Mansions

I have to make friends, so I said: "You and I just call each other like brother, brother, brother. There is no way. We always meet by chance. It's better to make friends. My surname is Jia, my name is Hua, and my name is Yucun. People from Huzhou, I haven't asked you for advice yet." tower?"

Hearing the words, the scholar cupped his hands and said with a smile: "My surname is Zhang, my name is Tingyu, my name is Hengchen, my name is Yanzhai, and I am from Anhui. In this way, you and I are friends!"

Yucun returned the salute, and the two looked at each other with a smile, and they seemed to have a tacit understanding.

6th

Yucun picked up the chopsticks and took a piece of sweet-scented osmanthus cake and took a bite. Because he was a little choked, he took a sip of tea slowly and sat down.Yucun glanced at the opposite inn, the crowd was not only not small, but more and more gathered, three or five people gathered together, pointing at the door of the inn, feeling even more puzzled, so he asked the shopkeeper of the tea shop, : "Does the shopkeeper know why there are so many people watching?"

When Yucun asked, the shopkeeper was pulling the abacus to settle the accounts. Hearing this, he put down his work, raised his head and said, "Sir, I don't know, but the Gaosheng Inn on the opposite side claims to be the second in this capital, and no one dares to be the first. If you say this The decoration is magnificent, the food is delicious, and it can be compared with other places. There is only one point, but there is no other place. The reason is that this Gaosheng Inn has excellent Fengshui. Every time I go to Dabi, the candidates who prepare for the exam in this Gaosheng Inn are the winners of the gold list It is much more than other places, and it has several times of champions, and its reputation is even better. The last champion, Mr. Li Panli, voted for his family back then."

The shopkeeper talked for a long time, but he still didn't say why the front of the inn was so lively. Seeing that the two scholars were not in a hurry, nor rushed, he thought that the two scholars were really calm, and he immediately liked them. Zhao that clerk gave them a stack of peanuts, and continued: "If only relying on feng shui, ordinary people really can't achieve the bustle of this Gaosheng Inn. The owner of this Gaosheng Inn is used to running it, and he loves it. For the pair, every time there is a good couplet, it is posted at the door, and for those who are right, they will be free of board and lodging in the Gaosheng Inn with a Jurenwen disc, didn't you see that the couplet at the door is empty?"

After all, the shopkeeper pointed to the pillars at the opposite door. Yucun looked up, and sure enough, one of the pillars was empty, and on the other side, a couplet was written on the gold-sprinkled red paper. Seeing the word "Fengsong", Yucun looked at the word "Fengsong" and was blocked by the crowd. After looking at it for a while, he asked the shopkeeper:

"I don't know if the shopkeeper knows the couplet written on the couplet?"

The shopkeeper had long wanted the two of them to ask questions, and now he was quite proud to see Yucun being so upright, and said: "Sir, this is the right person to ask, and the last couplet said 'the wind sends the fragrance of flowers all over the ground'. Sir, don't say anything about this couplet." That’s right, this morning there was someone who overestimated himself, yes, “It’s raining in Pinghu, boiling a pot”, but I don’t know how this palindrome is so easy to correct... (This overthinking is the setting sun...)"

"The wind sends the fragrance of flowers all over the ground, and the wind sends the fragrance of flowers all over the place..." Yucun listened to this couplet, frowning in thought, and muttered in his mouth, as if everything in the outside world had nothing to do with him, "The ground is full of red fragrance and flowers send the wind, hiss... ..."

Seeing Jia Yucun thinking, Zhang Tingyu didn't interrupt, just continued to listen to the shopkeeper babbling about the correct pairings of the morning, and whether he nodded to the shopkeeper. After a while, Yucun suddenly slapped Head, said: "Yes!"

Zhang Tingyu smiled when he heard the words, and said: "Oh~ Brother Yucun, what's so good about it? Come and listen!"

Yucun didn't refuse, and said, "Rain nourishes the spring, the trees are green and the sky is green!"

Zhang Tingyu listened, savored it slowly, and said, "Good! Well, brother Yucun is really a great talent!"

The shopkeeper heard this, and only read: "Rain nourishes the spring, trees connect the sky, and the sky connects green trees, spring nourishes the rain. It's not bad. It seems that the residence of the master in Beijing has been settled!"

"No, no, shopkeeper, you only know one thing and don't know the other." Zhang Tingyu seemed to be disapproving of the shopkeeper, so he explained: "This couplet should be read like this, 'The wind sends flowers fragrant and red; the rain nourishes spring trees and blue sky. ''The sky is connected with green trees and spring rain; the ground is full of red and fragrant flowers to send wind' repeated palindrome!"

The shopkeeper suddenly realized when he heard the words, and said: "I am ashamed, I am ashamed, you are a great talent, but you are a little old man, I am ignorant!"

After savoring Yucun's pair carefully, he suddenly seemed to think of something. The shopkeeper came out from behind the counter, bowed to Jia Yucun and said, "Mr. , could you please keep a calligraphy treasure, sir!"

Seeing this, Yucun quickly got up to return the gift, and said jokingly: "If the shopkeeper adds another pot of wine, not only couplets, but also poems and songs, as many as you want!"

The innkeeper laughed loudly when he heard the words, "Okay, Mr. is a good-natured person, the little old man doesn't dare to ask for more, just a pair of couplets is enough, but this good wine, as much as you want!"

After finishing speaking, the shopkeeper called Xiao Er to fetch fine wine and the Four Treasures of the Study.

Seeing this, Zhang Tingyu clapped his hands and praised, "Wow, good brother Yucun, Brother Yu can also enjoy some free wine with your help, come on, hurry up and pay for the couplet from the shopkeeper's house, my brother If you two don't get drunk, you won't return!"

As he said that, Zhang Tingyu went forward, picked up the ink that Xiao Er brought up, and began to grind it himself.Seeing this, Yucun shook his head again and again, only saying that this Hengchen was approaching his age, but he still had such a childlike heart, thinking in his heart, Yucundao was not hypocritical, raised his cuffs slightly, held the jug in his left hand high, and poured it into his mouth. After a few sips, the entrance is soft, the aftertaste is very sweet, soft and long, it is the best Shanxi Fen wine, after drinking a pot of wine for a while, I only feel that it is poetic, but it happens that Zhang Tingyu has finished the ink, Yucun put down the wine pot, Pick up a pen and dip in ink, and it will be done in a while!

The innkeeper saw that Yucun was writing Luanxiang Fengzhu, and the style was elegant and unrestrained. The more he looked at it, the more he felt that it was hot. Just now after Yucun finished writing a couplet, he wanted to take a closer look, but he was afraid of disturbing Yucun's interest, so he finally waited until Yucun Putting down the brush, he couldn't wait to step forward, and asked Xiao Er to hang it up to watch carefully, only to see that the couplet said:

"Work hard, work hard, enjoy hard work, bring a jug of wine;

To be busy for the sake of profit, to sneak in and have a cup of tea. "

The couplets are catchy and easy to remember. As the saying goes, both elegance and vulgarity are appreciated, and it is also suitable for the people's livelihood, which is the most suitable.Seeing the good characters and good couplets, the boss couldn't wait for a moment, and immediately ordered someone to take it away and send it to Shu Yuzhai, who engraved a plaque on the East Street.

Yucun smiled and watched the shopkeeper bustle around, and when everything was cleared up, he walked up to the shopkeeper and said, "How is it? Is Xiaosheng's pen and ink worth another pot of wine?"

The shopkeeper's old face was wrinkled with a smile, and he said that he was on duty, and then he greeted the waiter to serve a table of good wine and good food, so that the two of them would not mention it.The two Yucun Hengchen got the wine and food, and they became even more excited. They ate the delicacies while serving the wine orders, not knowing that the sun was coming. Xun, Zhang Tingyu remembered that it was late, and thought of his strict father at home, his complexion changed drastically, and he thought that the reprimand was inevitable when he went back, and he went home quickly, and saw Yucun drunk again, fearing that he would have nowhere to stay at night, and felt a little nervous for a while. Difficult.Then he said to Yucun with his tongue out:

"Yu, Brother Yucun, brother, seeing you carrying suitcases, I think you just... just arrived in the capital, and you have nowhere to stay. Brother, I intend to invite you to... live with me at home. I don't know if Yucun is available, is it possible? "

Yucun was already drunk and his eyes were hazy, but his spirit was very clear. He stepped forward and patted Zhang Tingyu on the shoulder, and said, "Brother Hengchen, don't worry, Yucun really drank a lot today. I went to my brother's house in case my uncle would be angry. Don’t worry, brother, brother has a place to live, isn’t it wow, manager of Gaosheng Inn?”

The shopkeeper heard that the two of them were drinking orders all afternoon, both of them were good poems and words, and there were many good sentences. He admired the talents of the two and was happy in his heart. Now he saw Yucun pointing out his identity in a word, and he couldn't help but admire him a little more. , Said: "Sir, you are so smart. This Gaosheng Inn and this teahouse are both properties under the name of the little old man. Since you are right, you will be free of charge in my inn. Zhang Xianggong, don't worry about Jia Xianggong." Already, the little old man will take care of himself."

Hearing this, Zhang Tingyu felt relieved, bowed his hands to Yucun and the shopkeeper, and was staggered back by the servant.

It is said that this piece of Tingyu was crooked all the way, because he drank too much, he was so sleepy, and he was afraid of being punished by his strict father at home, so he thought of sneaking back through the back door, so as to avoid being discovered by his father who smelled of alcohol.

Unexpectedly, as soon as he arrived at the door, his father's personal servant came to tell him that his father wanted to see him.Hearing this, Ting Yu had no choice but to bite the bullet and go to the main hall.

As soon as he entered the door, he saw Tingyu's father, Zhang Ying, sitting in front of the hall with an angry expression on his face. His mother was beside him, trying to persuade him about something. When his younger brother Zhang Tinglu saw Tingyu coming in, he winked at him and reminded him to be careful. You are miserable, I look very sad.

When Ting Yu saw this battle, he was seven points drunk and three points had gone. He straightened his clothes in vain, walked to the front of the hall, knelt down to Zhang Ying, and said, "I have seen my father."

That Zhang Ying smelled of alcohol on Zhang Tingyu's body, so she knew that the boy's report was true, she was furious and shouted at Zhang Tingyu: "You still know how to come back! Why didn't you die outside drunk!"

Hearing his father's angry reprimand, Zhang Tingyu knew he was wrong, so he had to bow his head and even said he didn't dare.

"You still don't dare, next year is the year of the Grand Competition, I should have studied hard at home, because my father let you out because I was afraid that you would be tired and depressed, but I let you go out to fool around!" Zhang Ying angrily scolded.

Zhang Ying's mother saw her son pitifully knelt down and admitted his mistake, she couldn't bear it, so she persuaded her: "Master, Yu'er has been obedient since she was a child, and she is also very diligent in studying, there must be a reason for going out this time, why don't you ask about it? "

After Zhang Ying heard it, she felt that what Madam said was reasonable, and seeing that Ting Yu had a good attitude in admitting her mistakes, she said to Ting Yu, "If that's the case, let's listen to it."

Tingyu listened to his father's questioning
