Chapter 149
The boats heading north from Wujiang followed the canal to the south of Suzhou Prefecture City, approaching the banks of Xibedu. The college was deserted and the plants and trees were mixed. The banks of Xibedu in the south of Suzhou were the lecture venues of the Yang Dynasty in the Song Dynasty. It was the beginning of the "Donglin". Chengmen stood in the snow and was famous. Later, Gu Xiancheng of the Ming Dynasty reopened Donglin Academy and chose the site on the banks of the Donggong River in the east of the city. The banks of Xibedu gradually became dull and subdued.
Now the time for the Red Mansion has reached the "Grand View Garden Test Tips are correct, Rongguo Mansion returns to the province to celebrate the Lantern Festival", Jia Yuanchun visits relatives at Lantern Festival, but Jia Cong can't get through. Jia Qiang goes to Suzhou to buy actors and meet Ling officials, and seems to have missed it with him. However, the original Yuan Cong visits relatives, and Jia Cong does not have the position to appear. At most, he can welcome the imperial concubine and kowtow, and there is no need to.
In the memory of the original owner inherited by Jia Cong, Jia Yuanchun's image is very vague, with few intersections, and is often mentioned in others. Only Baoyu, who was spoiled by Yuanchun since childhood, was named siblings, and was like mother and son. Baoyu's poetry, books and ink since childhood were all taught by Yuanchun. At that time, he was a young boy and a concubine, and he had no sense of existence.
Another thing I often think about at night is about Xing Xiuyan. It is said that she is a idle cloud and Yehe. Who knew that when they were together, the two became intimate. Perhaps Xing Xiuyan had never had contact with a boy better than Jia Cong before. Besides, Miaoyu, who had been with her for ten years, was a strange man. She was not as influenced by Taoism as Baochai since childhood. It was natural for a small family to do this. Even a woman who was deeply influenced by Taoism, had an affair with her. She had no restrictions on the environment. She didn't see "Jade Quilt", but she was beaten with three words?
However, Jia Cong was unwilling to think deeply about how she developed in the future. Xing Xiuyan was originally engaged to Xue Ke and was still a matchmaker. She won Xue Ke and won Baochai first. It is estimated that Jia Cong's type is not much different from Xue Ke, and her relationship is almost pure. Or maybe, she was just thankful for his change of her family situation?
"Brother Guan is planning to find another place in Suzhou Prefecture? Do you want me to help you get some breath?" Jia Cong came out of the cabin door. Guan Chaosheng met in the canal, and the two ships went in parallel: "No, I want to rely on my mouth, not on you."
Jia Cong did not force it, and the two got off the boat and entered Wu County. Suzhou Prefecture, which was separated by Changzhou. Suzhou was rich and was the best in the world. It was promoted from Champa to rice and mulberry cotton. The tax revenue of this prefecture ranks first in the country every year. Almost all weavers in the east of the city were weavers. It was the place where literati and officials dreamed of going to live and die. "I would rather be the magistrate of the Yangtze River than the prefect of the Yellow River", "I would rather be the Suzhou-Hangzhou dog than the outsider of the Frontier." She County, Huizhou, which had the most businessmen in ancient times, as well as merchants from Shandong, Henan and the two lakes, were all over the south of the Yangtze River, with a population of more than one million.
The lantern market is the city during the day and at night, with lanterns shoulder to shoulder, and endless streams. During the New Year's Day holiday, officials in Gusu City wore regular clothes at home to worship the palace of the northern emperors. After that, they came and sent him to see him. Jia Cong went to the city to find a teahouse. Sun Fu went to the government office to submit famous letters. Half a day later, the servants came to invite him and went straight to the city's main road and entered the backyard of the government office. The court ruled, and the seal officers in charge and the second officials had a private residence in the official office.
...
On this day, on the Chinese New Year Festival, the flower hall in the backyard of Suzhou government office was filled with colorful colors, and it was as bright as the moon. Shen Hao was wearing a sacrificial garment, the white gauze mid-lane of the soap collar, the red garment of the soap collar, the red garment of the square heart, the red garment of the knee, the crown belt, the ribbon, the same clothing became the first seat, and the two largest plates of pork and mutton were also placed next to the first seat.
Fruits and vegetables include winter bamboo shoots, silver fish, pigeon eggs, Jiangnan fragrans, honey tangerines, Zhangzhou oranges, olives, and meat include roasted chicken, duck and geese, cold sliced sheep tails, pig intestines, oil-filled waist, etc., as well as date rolls, hoofs (ham stewed elbows), steamed cakes with oil paste, rice porridge include mung bean porridge, lotus seed porridge, red date porridge, etc.
"Not bad! This chicken head is good!" Wang Dacheng, a Taoist in Jiangsu Province's sub-court road, picked up the chicken head and ate it. After a plate, there were more than a dozen chicken heads in total. Chen Hao smiled and said, "Two more plates!"
After rewarding the servants' money, the kitchen came to entertain him. For the chicken head, Chen Futai actually killed thirty chickens in a row. Jia Cong said intimately: "It's corrupt! It's too corrupt!"
But thinking so in his heart, he was also eating the vested interests.
Wang Dacheng was full of wine and meals. He patted the oily belly in Chiluo's clothes, and said with a mouth full of oil: "Mr. Jia Xiaogong, I heard about you in Shengze, Wujiang. I will go and fuck me! Who dares to bully my classmates and brothers in the Zijian in my country! As soon as I heard about it, I immediately wrote a letter and ordered the Wujiang County Government to re-examine it! How can one hundred and thirty acres of land be enough?"
He was divided into patrols, guarding the road, participating in politics, and was commonly known as Taoist platform. He was specially praised as Taoist and was elegantly known as Observer. He was ranked fourth rank and was at the same level as the prefect, but his road was higher than the government, and he was the chief minister and was responsible for the criminal name. Wujiang County Government suffered a great loss.
Jia Cong was ashamed: "No, no, that matter has been resolved. I don't want to cause more trouble, so why bother again?"
Wang Dacheng picked his teeth and said, "Oh! No! No! All the letters have been sent out, so I want this face to watch!"
Chen Hao was very despised at this Taoist who was not from the Academic Academy of Sciences, but he still looked respectful and catered to him on the surface: "Jia Cong, Wang Guanti, you should thank you."
Jia Cong was speechless, but he also stood up and thanked him, and thought to himself: "Damn, saying that he wanted to win over me, it would ruin my reputation. But I don't have a reputation in Wujiang either. Hey, let me give them a warning..."
"Yang Ge Lao Ding You, his hometown in Changshu, Suzhou, is obeying the system. The scholars from all directions come to visit him. Are you planning to go there?" Chen Hao said.
"No, the students were grinding here for a few days and planned to go to Beijing, Beijing, and Jinling to write letters, otherwise it would be unreasonable."
Wang Dacheng ate pine nuts: "Who is there over Jinling?"
"It's Prince Yu."
Chen Hao and Wang Dacheng remained silent and each had their own thoughts. After a moment, Chen Hao picked up his beard and said, "It's tiring to be famous, it's okay. You can rest in the government office for a few days first. I have time to give you some advice. Your miscellaneous books have good sales in Jiangnan. There will definitely be someone looking for you in the Jiangzuo League and Lanshe."
When Cao Cao arrived, Qi Shixuan was already angry outside the government office. He kindly sent a hundred acres of land, but Wang Dacheng actually wrote a letter to blackmail. You are too dark, Qi Shixuan said: "I have submitted a famous post. Have you seen your Taigong Master? Huating Juren Wei Shixuan."
"I'm so embarrassed to be filial and honest. During this festival, no matter whether I'm familiar with it or not, I've been sending more famous posts to my master, and I can't take care of it for a while." The doorman said in a helpless manner.
Wei Shixuan's face was covered in darkness. The ancestral duke who followed behind him was a little scared and dared not speak in fear.
...
The Rongguo Mansion, far away in the capital, reached its peak. Jia Yuanchun rafted on the Grand View Garden, Daiyu, Baochai, Sanchun, Baoyu wrote poems and decided on the names of Hengwu Garden, Qiushuangzhai, Zhijin Pavilion, Daoxiang Village, Xiaoxiang Pavilion, Cuidi Pavilion, Qinfang Bridge, Aojingxi Pavilion, Tubi Villa and other names.
