Chapter 7 screen peony

screen peony When I was thirteen years old, Zhishan Primary School held a general examination, and the primary schools and village schools within ten miles each selected four or five students to go to the school. test.I went in the sedan chair, and the fourth brother and brother Ayu carried the sedan chair. They all hoped that their brother would become famous.Zhishan Primary School is new Zhigao Elementary School, when I got there, I saw that everything was open and everyone was enlightened. Look at the flowery yarn blouse I'm wearing , eggplant-colored silk trousers, and a satin pencil case embroidered by the concubine of the Yu family's concubine with red peach and green leaves, I feel really embarrassed.Tried

When we came back, the teacher in Hucun School asked us how we did in the exam. The three students all answered well, but I was hopeless. .I didn't know that I did well in the exam after being released on the list, and I was rewarded with an elite record of historical records and four cents of silver, but they only had one A pencil or a stick of ink. Later, when I went to high school and middle school, I was still humble like this.I was admitted to the Secondary School Affiliated to Shaoxing Fifth Normal University In the first grade, my classmates were all from the city, and they all came to bully me. At first, I didn’t dare to fight because I didn’t know the situation, but later he

They don't bully me anymore, but there is no need to fight.Most of the Fifth Normal School and the Fifth Middle School have Zhuji Xinchang County Yiwu Yong Kanglai's students are all tall and strong, and the students from the city are frivolous, so they beat people with their hands, and no one dares to bully them.But I don't fight, and people don't bully me.Compared with when I first arrived in Shanghai, the porter and Huang on the pier The charter drivers tried to rip me off, but they tried to resist, but there was no way to resist. Afterwards, I lived in Shanghai and never walked the streets in my spare time.

When you meet a hooligan, you can see that as long as you are not too conspicuous, you will be able to win many things without winning or submitting. solve. After graduating from high school, I went to Shaoxing No. 5 Middle School. I only studied for one semester. If I can't take classes, I will go back to Hu Village.I don't even know what this trend is about, I just feel that the world is too big to be abrupt Intervene or just ask.After that, my cousin Wu Xuefan took me to Hangzhou to be admitted to Cymbidium.Cymbidium is a missionary middle school, youth I will welcome new classmates in the chapel, play the piano and sing hymns, and distribute sweets. That kind of "brotherly love" is completely to me.

not used to. I was in the fourth grade in Huilan, and my graduation exam was already being held, but I was expelled due to one incident.I am the school magazine The editor-in-chief of English, there is an article in the school news column, which records that a classmate was dismissed from the position of secretary of the Youth Association due to accounting problems .The advisor of the school magazine is Fang Tongyuan, the director of academic affairs. He said that the reputation of the church should not be published.After I explain, he will No more words, I thought he had acquiesced, but after logging out, he asked me to scold me, and when I refused to accept it, he went to

The principal threatened to resign and fired me.I didn't regret it, the only time I didn't dare to go back home was when my father wrote a letter Come call me, I just came back. When Su Shi was twelve years old, on behalf of Ouyang Xiu, he thanked Ciyu for wearing a famous horse watch, "How dare you fall into it, but you have more than one?" The back also, but the horse does not enter. "It's really humble.I am unyielding even when I am sincere and confident, and I am not generous to my classmates and parents words. But those years of schooling were also good for me.At that time, the schoolwork was not as busy as it is now, and neither were the exams.

In other words, there are few group activities, few competitions, reading is just reading, and I don't think about what to do with it. There is no use, no plan for future career, and no opinion on world affairs.That's why I don't believe in Christianity. When Cymbidium went to church, I always avoided it because I didn't like the gratuitous solemnity of Christianity. But what is better than school education is still the scenery of Shaoxing and Hangzhou, which makes me also in the scenery.in folk songs "Send Lang to the door of the room, and when you look up, you can only see Taiping coins", so sing all the way to "Send Lang to Jiuqu Bay, Jiuqu

Look at the peonies in a bend." When my father took me to Hangzhou, Shaoxing, it was like opening peonies in my life. I went out to study, although my father and the foster father of the Yu family had this idea long ago, but I didn't think of it at all.I am ten In the summer when I was three years old, I was a guest at my uncle’s house at the foot of Fu’s mountain, and I was with my cousin Xuefan. It’s fifteen miles to Zhangjiabu. I will carry the money for my father and walk there along the sand embankment of Shanxi River. He told me to go to Hangzhou, Shaoxing, but he took advantage of the night cruise.How many times have I walked this road by myself since then,

It is not enough to say a word of parting. Zhangjiabu is the boundary of Shangyu, where the Shan River reaches, and then it becomes the Cao'e River.Go to Shaoxing, from the Three Realms You can take advantage of the boat, but when the water is shallow, the boat will arrive at Zhangjiabu.From Zhangjiabu in the Three Realms to Haoba by boat, you have to cross the dam to take advantage of the inland river Boat.On Haoba Street, I saw restaurants inviting customers to eat, and it was very lively, and the stone-paved street was wet even on sunny days , a smell of yellow sprouts and leeks, I like to smell it.Those who cross the dam here to change boats only see the carrying poles, money and parcels.

Umbrellas are like a forest, and one or two sedan chairs are sandwiched between them. Passing by the hotel entrance, they are all pulled in like robbing and fighting. Have a meal.In the restaurant, there are square tables and long stools, and what you order is nothing more than rice for two cents a bowl, and pork for three cents a piece. , a large bowl of roasted fish head tofu in boiling lard oil costs eight cents, and there are five-spice pork belly and fried kidneys if you want to eat wine.Most of the guests are Farmers and businessmen, as well as mountain teenagers and girls who went to study outside, they all calculated the travel expenses, but still had to spend a little time.

I was a little surprised at how generous I was on the road.The waiter was carrying food and collecting bowls, like a shuttle, with hands and eyes all over his body, The guests responded to the calls, the stove was frying, and the spatula was knocking loudly. There is also the trip across the pond at Haoba. When the port boat arrives, guests gather, billing and changing boats, making tea and twisting hot towels. It is Tangchai that burns several loads of firewood in a day. The prosperity of small and medium-sized enterprises is lively and generous, and the wealth of the world is comparable to I have always loved the fresh fish and shrimp that are cooked and eaten immediately. Changing boats from Haoba to travel in the inner river, it is a different scene than the outer river. town.When you reach the waters of Dejian Lake, the fields will be open and moist, and the mountains will recede to the horizon, becoming gentle.This The fields here are all good soil, and the sunshine is unobstructed, so it is a famous city like Shaoxing.Shaoxing City is at this time from the ship I can't see it yet, but I feel it is faintly floating on the water town, and it seems to be in the clouds, but the voices of people and chickens and dogs can be heard. Seemingly, the water chestnut and Gorgon leaves that are gradually becoming denser in the river, and the two black boats passing by our boat , like slices of peach blossoms flowing out of Shaoxing City. When it came to Wushimen, it was said that Shaoxing had arrived, but I saw that it was just an expert shop along the river pond, and I couldn't help but be disappointed. However, because of the stone slabs from Niaomen Mountain in East Lake, the riverside ponds here are very well paved, and the whitewashed walls of the people are also very white. There are many black boats in the river, facing the river and the distant mountains, all in the afternoon sun.Now I entered the city gate with my father and walked through Dajie, I am no longer disappointed, but I don’t know whether my feelings are happy or unhappy, I just feel that I am happy. The self and the father are very clear, and everything here is also clear step by step. The streets and alleys in Shaoxing city are paved with stone slabs, and there are many memorial archways for filial piety and number one scholar.but i'm right I don't like those stone arches very much, I'm afraid that they might be crushed when I pass by, and the world of champions and dutiful sons and women is a little bit Safe too much.And the back door of every house is a river, and the place name is also a bridge, such as Bazi Bridge, Guangning Bridge, Tanhua Bridge, Lotus Bridge, Dalang Bridge, Xiaolang Bridge, etc., take a boat race and ride a rickshaw, visit relatives and friends, daughter visits mother, grandma to son-in-law Everyone disembarked at the back door of their own house, and disembarked at the back door of that house. Those awning boats seemed to be propped into the front of other people's halls. With the kitchen, it can be compared to a small boat propped into the depths of the lotus, and the rows of people are the lotus leaves. In the city of Shaoxing, if you want to do business in five or six counties in one prefecture, you need to be regarded as a well-developed industry and commerce, that is, you only see that you live in other people's homes. Yes, there is only one street, and the rest are lively at Jiangqiaotou, Dongguomentou, Xiguomentou, Shuibianmentou, and Hanguomentou. Pianmen and Wushimentou are bustling, where rice grains, fish and shrimp, wood, wine and various industrial productions are all located. The tin foil is made in small households, and the famous Shaoxing brewing, as well as pottery iron wok, wine urn The wine tanks are all in towns outside the city.The big business houses in the city, such as Tao Taisheng cloth shop and Qianzhuang chateau and tea house, all turned against them. Open in the alley beside the street.Just like Hangzhou, the market is larger than Shaoxing, and it doesn't feel oppressed by industrial areas. In my opinion, there is no need to specifically regulate residential areas. This is really the highest design, and it should be adopted in any modern city. . There are many Taimen houses in Shaoxing city, such as Pingjiataimen, Wangjiataimen, Taojiabaojiataimen, etc. In the Qing Dynasty, the largest one was the Lu Mansion, the residence of the Prime Minister of the Song Dynasty, but it has been razed to a small house in Luxiang. These gates have screen walls, Lion flagpole stone, high fire protection wall, beast ring retting nail door, stone courtyard inside, three halls and two sides, main house and side courtyard , there are garden pavilions, and the hall above the gate is covered with plaques of fame and fame.But now most of the children and grandchildren live in the family, and there are rented out houses. of.I live in the third brother’s house, which is a side yard of the Pingjiatai Gate I rented. I like the old Chinese deep house compound, but They don't like the downtrodden children who live there, they have no energy at all. It doesn't matter if there is a small family in Shaoxing City, it is from such a family that the golden phoenix girl in the dragon and phoenix lock, Another example is the father and daughter of the old man Jin who hides the benefactor Lu Ti upstairs in the Water Margin, and there are many people in Song Renpinghua and Yuanqu. Lovely people also live in this kind of house.I am not used to the address of young master and miss, the descendants of the run-down family, but I Xixiaohuxiaojia women are like young ladies and young wives, with the fragrance of female body.Bright eyes and bright teeth are mostly from ordinary people Home, because it is not contaminated by the precipitation of wealth and honor.Later, when I was in Hangzhou, I also liked to walk in the long and short alleys. Take a look at this Most of the houses in shallow houses facing the street have their doors open. It seems that everyone can go in and sit in the main room, beg for tea or borrow red lights. . Shaoxing old wine is famous, and the chicken is extremely tender. Every time my father comes, he goes to Fuqian Street to buy early mutton and sesame seeds Sauce and deep-fried dough sticks are sold along the door. In addition, all kinds of steamed cakes are cheap and delicious, and they have become breakfast snacks in every family.but i am I have only bought fried dough sticks a few times, and I can count them now.Of course I like foreign goods stores on the street, although when I was studying No money, and no thought of buying it at all. But I don’t know the scenic spots and historic sites in Shaoxing. During the two or three years of studying, I didn’t even go to Yuling Lanting. , I often go to Shuibianmen, I saw the forest of boats and boats, the rice market and fish market are very lively, and there are fields and rivers everywhere. You must climb high and look far away, and the city, mountains and rivers are all here.Go out again, a little far away from the downtown area, along the stone-built Guantang Road along the river , Once Brother Mei Xiang came, I walked with him, the sun was hot, and there was a stall selling old wine in the pavilion , four copper coins for a bowl, one copper coin for Shui Hongling and twenty pieces. But I still like Hangzhou more. Shaoxing people have a kind of ripe Qiqi, like a watermelon that has been overripe and its flesh has fallen, which is very different from my spleen. If the qi is not in harmony, Hangzhou has the Qingming of the world since the Xinhai Uprising.I was in Shaoxing when I was in high school, the May 4th Movement I just woke up in school, but when I arrived in Hangzhou, the ordinary people in the alleys and the shops in Hushan City all felt only the May Fourth era. The original is the original color, so good that people can't feel nostalgic, because no old era is dying, but the present The previous one was brand new. The first time I went to Hangzhou with my father was when I was 13 years old, and then I went with my cousin Wu Xuefan when I was 15 years old Enter Huilan Middle School in Hangzhou.When I went with my father, there was a relative who was from Okamura before Hucun went into the twelve miles, and lived in the electric light company. As a worker in the company, he led us to the machine room to see the rotating generator motor. It was so loud and intense that I was a little scared , just like the Shanxi clapper's "quack!" has swept away all the emotions and thoughts, and what is left is purer and simpler. A more modest person.I went to his house for dinner that day. The (fish + flat) fish in Qiantang River was so delicious, it was also the first time I ate it. .After dinner, please go to the Gongtai Gate to watch a fashionable opera, which is playing Havoc in Heaven, the gongs and drums of Beijing opera and the Monkey King in brocade jacket and flower hat. The sky is different from the local operas in my mountain village, but the prosperity of Soochow in the world of the Republic of China, which is so fresh that it is almost irritating. irritating.How much salary does that relative earn, but he is so bold and righteous, this is the first time I have seen modern workers .Later, he accompanied us to the foreign goods store under his banner. I saw electric lights shining like crystals, and he was wearing a cheongsam. A woman in a velvet hat is shopping, I still think she is a man, but her face is so white with powder, and her lapel is so white. The side rhinestones flicker, I just don't feel pleasing to the eye, but this is the first time I am amazed by the modern city. To talk about Hangzhou, to talk about Hangzhou, you can only use three words, Hangzhou is a beautiful place.No matter people or things, anyone who can It is the scenery, both private and public, all private Zhuangzi in the West Lake are open, Su Xiaoxiao's tomb by the Xiling Bridge, when The selfishness of young children has also become the scenery of the world, so Hangzhou women like to stand at the door.once Zhong Zhiqian, a classmate from Huilan Middle School, and I walked past someone's courtyard. The gate was open, and he boldly went in to look at the flowers and fish. Even if the master intervenes, he will have to deal with it, but I am timid, like in Ouyang Xiu's poem "The yellow bird flies to stand , swaying the rain among the flowers", for fear of disturbing the world. I love the purple air and red dust in Hangzhou, the woman who washes clothes by the Huansha Road riverside, I always have to look at it when I pass by, I just feel here The real willows are really willows.I am a layman, I love all the riches and glory in the world, but I don't believe in power.At that time Sun Chuanfang was the commander-in-chief of the Allied Forces of the Five Provinces, and the Yuanmen was under the banner of the Supervising Army Office. Once Zhong Zhiqian and I walked by and saw Sun Xin Shuai wanted to go swimming in the lake today, so he stopped to see him come out. It was already high in the sun, and the guards outside the gate reined in their horses and circled around. The sentry has been placed in Yue Wang's tomb. After waiting for a long time, there is no movement in the gate. I suddenly feel that I can look at him at the same level. .There is also Huilan's classmate Yu Ruiren and I are the best. His family is located in Sanyuanfang and opened in Tianshun Foreign Store. You's business is so rich that it's gorgeous and profound, and it's cleaner than the government's. This is the first time I've seen it in the world. It's like reading flowers. Between words. When I was in Huilan, I used to go to West Lake every Saturday, but it was not as elegant as others, and it cost money It's not my turn either. I don't drink tea when I walk past Xiling Yinshe, and I don't get drunk when I pass Xinghua Village. I just walk around Baidi Su Causeway alone, or Spend four copper dollars and take a yacht back to the banner from Yuewangfen.Because West Lake and I are really our own people, and we don't care about false flowers.will It is a famous temple like Lingyin Jingci Temple, the majestic Yuewang Tomb, and Su Xiaoxiao's tomb, which is full of love and affection. The profound and subtle method does not talk about heroic hatred, nor infatuation and lust, because it is really relatives. Inheriting the ethos of the May Fourth Movement at that time, my cousin, Ma Xiaoan, who was in the same class as him, and their friend No. 1 Normal students Wang Jingzhi, Cui Zhenwu, and Liu Chaoyang all have lovers and can write vernacular poems, but I In the lower grades, I neither knew how to write poetry, nor thought of being in love. Although I often stayed with my cousin and them, I didn’t Eligible to join the group.I have nothing but admiration for them, and I only listen to what they say.The stone monkey in Huaguo Mountain in Journey to the West, Only after he was born and got the land, he walked on a crutch and visited the four directions.It alarmed the Jade Emperor in the sky and ordered Taibai Jinxian to check After reading it, it was said that he was a small living being in the lower realm, but he knew that he had a heart of kindness, so he didn't ask.my young It's ridiculous like this, it's just a poor little life that people call it.
