Chapter 37 Chapter Thirty-seventh Flirting with Uncle Gao Guo is boring and disturbing the school Cao Xueqin resigns

Liu Tongxun returned to Beijing, and on the same day he took a sedan chair and rushed to Ertai and Zhang Tingyu's mansions to pay homage to these two chief military ministers of the Manchu and Han Dynasties.Ertai was so ill that he couldn't get up anymore. After receiving the ginseng from Qianlong, he just shed tears, kowtowed on the pillow, and said, "I am old and useless. The master cares so much, and I can't repay it... Lord Yanqing , please play on behalf of me, my two sons have gone to Jinchuan to follow Neqin to help the master, please be kind to the master... There is one more thing I want to tell Yanqing, people say that Hengchen and I have worked together for decades. It is true that my disciples and former officials are divided into cliques. I am dying, and when I am dying, my words are good. Hengchen and I do not agree with each other, and occasionally have different political opinions. It is true. If you want to be self-reliant, you are a villain if you communicate with each other in private, so you are used to not interacting with each other...there are too many students below, and some of them have misunderstood their original intentions..." Liu Tongxun listened to him repeating and repeating for a whole hour They all explained the relationship with Zhang Tingyu, vertical and horizontal, the cause and effect of big and small things, and it was confusing like a mess in my heart.When he drank water and got up, he comforted him: "I still have to go to the Ministry of War, so take care of yourself! If you don't think about other things, you will gradually become more relaxed..." After saying that, he bowed and resigned.Ertai also no longer stay with each other.Liu Tongxun went out but didn't go to the Ministry of War. He turned south and arrived at Zhang Tingyu's mansion in Xihuamen.He is Zhang Tingyu's protégé, and now he is also a high-ranking celebrity in front of Qianlong. The doorman directly took him into the Zizhi Bookstore in the west garden of the inner courtyard without waiting for an announcement.

"Yanqing is back?" Zhang Tingyu half-lyed on the kang and received Liu Tongxun's salute, sat up and drank the ginseng soup on the kang table, took the ginseng from Qianlong with both hands and passed it to the housekeeper, and heard Liu Tongxun said that he went to Ertai Mansion first, Zhang Tingyu laughed and said: "He is narrow-minded, you should go to see him first of.Well, it should be..." Then he began to talk about the entanglement with Ertai for decades. But he is very organized, and his memory and eloquence are far better than Ertai. From Nian Gengyao to the use of troops in Western Xinjiang, From Yunnan's reform of land and return to the use of troops. During this period, political affairs, military affairs, finance, and the dispatch of generals and officials, what fits and what doesn't fit are all explained in detail. Liu Tongxun just listened attentively, didn't intervene in a word, and just picked up I secretly wrote down the useful experience. Zhang Tingyu stayed with Liu Tongxun for dinner from Chenshi to noon. He continued to talk after eating. He sighed and said: "The waves behind the Yangtze River push the waves ahead. It's your turn. I have contributed to the emperor all my life.Being an official is just a matter of pride when you are doing it. Just like a market, it gathers during the day and midday, and gathers during the day and night.When you came a few years ago, how could I have the time to speak at length like this?Now there are few guests and few cars and horses.My 'collection' has arrived at the time of day. He closed his eyes, as if recalling the glory of the past, and said after a long time: "Yanqing is busy with you!" "

Liu Tongxun felt relieved, feeling as if he had received amnesty, he hurriedly got up and resigned, and sat in the sedan chair laughing to himself: I went to the two old ministers' residences for no reason, and it took more than five hours, urging the bearers to go fast along the way When I arrived at the mansion, I saw my family members hanging lamps beside the door bucket.There were only a few servants in his house.The old steward was already in his sixties, and when he saw him coming back, he greeted him and said, "Several groups of people came and couldn't wait, so they left again. Now there are only blind Wu, Huang Tianba and a few of his apprentices. I can't wait until the master doesn't go back, and I will eat dinner at home. I'm afraid you won't be able to eat well outside, so I asked them to cook a pot of beef soup for you. You can eat a little first, and then have some snacks at night..." He babbled Talking, Liu Tongxun strode up the steps of the main room, and said with a smile: "I know all about it! Just ask them to bring me a bowl." Blind Wu, Huang Tianba and five or six disciples heard him talking in the main room The voices have already stood up to greet them together.Before Liu Tongxun greeted everyone, three more people were brought in at the door, but they were Agui, Dunmin and Duncheng when he saw them under the lamp, and Gao Heng walked in with square steps. From the outside to the inside, he hurriedly said to Blind Wu, "They talk short, we talk long, it's really disrespectful, you sit down first, and I'll come over after I finish talking with Master Gao." Then he turned around and took Gao Heng and the other four Take a seat in the east study.Liu Tongxun held beef soup in his hand and said with a smile: "Presumptuous, I haven't eaten yet—Brother Gao Heng, you guys came from Shanhaiguan, right? How long has Agui been in Beijing?" He drank the soup as he spoke.

"I went to Dezhou, and the two of them came back from the Shanhaiguan Salt Road." Gao Heng said, "The Wuqiao River in Dezhou is silted up, and the grain, salt and water are not giving way. I'll take care of it, that Wu The blind man went too. I went from Shanhaiguan, and when I came back, I went straight to Beijing." After speaking, he smiled and untied a bag from his waist, "This is a small moon cake from Dezhou Majia. The stuffing is the best in the world. I bring it with me , Lao Liu bumped into it, it is your blessing." Shake it and put it in front of Liu Tongxun.Liu Tongxun saw that the moon cake was only the size of an arhat coin, and the patterns were novel and exquisite. He picked up a piece and chewed it, and said with a smile: "It's really good! You still have this with you. You have a card in your waist. Come with whomever you meet!" Ah Then Gui smiled and said, "I just came back yesterday, and later I came to Chengde to see you. There is nothing important, so I came to see you."

Everyone chatted and laughed for a while, Liu Tongxun speculated on Gao Heng's intentions, and said: "The grain and salt are all the imperial court's. There are so many people in Beijing and Jingji, it's a big deal without salt or food. Don't worry, the chief minister, the salt and grain If there is something wrong with the two buckets, I can only blame Wu blind, and I will never protect my shortcomings." "I'm angry at old Wu for being rude," Gao Heng said with a smile, "—I brought a group of Qing Gang brothers to the Texas Salt Bureau and made a fuss for more than an hour , I was so scared that the person in charge of the Salt Bureau slipped out the back door. I just agreed to be fine. You, Lord Yanqing, are right now in front of the emperor, so you come to see me, even if I have something wrong, please bear with me a little more." Liu Tongxun He smiled and said: "Don't forget that you are the uncle of the country, you think I am really Bao Longtu. Don't you even pay attention to the imperial concubine?"

"You mean my sister?" Gao Heng said, "She doesn't even dare to sit idle in front of the emperor! She has no son, and she is not as good as someone else. Niu (Niu Hulu's family), the noble master dares to speak! What do you say The little country uncle who oppresses the good people and runs rampant is fabricated by Hu in the play!" Agui laughed and said: "Your country uncle is quite romantic, I think you are limited in your official duties, and you have a lot of stealing things. "Gao Heng laughed and said: "Fuck you, who is chewing this rotten tongue behind? It's a little bit, and it's also wishful thinking. I'm not bad, and if I don't reach out to take money from the treasury, who dares to say that I am a bad official ?Nowadays it is said that there are few corrupt officials, ghosts don’t believe it, you go to various banks, the money is piled up like a hill—that’s the money that has been cashed. There is no such stupid donkey who just gives money to the boss Sending gold, listen to me—you have to put on a new cloak even if it’s not cold, put the bank notes in your pocket, go to talk to Yin Jishan, and leave without saying a word when you leave, the cloak will be 'forgotten' Jishan. Next time, you will be the first one to protect the public and the secrets!——otherwise, how could your little Agui be promoted so quickly?"

Ah Gui hurriedly waved her hands with a smile, staggered and said, "Don't compare me, I'm not that kind of person, and neither is Jishan! I said maybe you specially made these small Majia mooncakes, stuffed with emerald opals What, or give a pair of go pieces made of gold, painted black and white lacquer on the outside, give it to Fu Liuye, and be promoted to Shangshu Jiuqing or something, it's easy!" Gao Heng imitated Ah Gui and waved his hands: "Let's go! , I lured wolves into the house! I am not this kind of person, and neither is Fu Heng..." "Ah Gui, I heard that you have been called 'Jiamu' recently?" With a smile, Liu Tongxun regained his composure and asked, "Now that Negong has gone to Chengdu to dispatch Jinchuan, what is the situation on the front line? Zhang Guangsi still looks like Was it like that in the past?" This was a matter of concern to everyone, everyone quieted down and listened to what Agui said.

The situation on the front line was actually very bad. Neqin was in Chengdu, and Zhang Guangsi went to Chongqing for "medical treatment".The South Route Army and the Central Route Army are now part of the division, shrunk in Guizhou in southern Sichuan, and they only need to pay for food and recharge their batteries. They have invited good teachers to write a military report for Neqin. Everyone offers advice, saying that it is the way to win. .The three military meetings in Chengdu broke up in a mess.Naqin knew that he was too powerful to overwhelm the crowd, and he was unwilling to take advantage of Zhang Guangsi. While writing a letter urging Zhang Guangsi to return to the army for "recuperation on the spot", he wrote himself a memorial to Qianlong's march in northern Sichuan, the response to southern Sichuan, and the approval of Qianlong. He sent a message to the lieutenants and above, and Zhang Guangsi, saying that if he could not go and run the army together, he would ask for resignation.This forced Zhang Guangsi to "take the doctor back to Chengdu to listen to the order".The commander's heart is not in harmony, the military discipline below is not strict, the soldiers mutiny, looting and smashing the business have happened from time to time.According to observations from all over the country, the supervisory censors and inspectors in Sichuan have filed complaints with the Beijing Metropolitan Procuratorate, and they have all been transferred to Fu Heng.But Neqin's position as minister of military aircraft is still concurrently held, and his position is still above Fu Heng, and Fu Heng's old brains have been transferred to Neqin.Naqin just ignored it for the sake of peace of mind.At the fourth military affairs meeting, it was set on fire.It made the armies more arrogant and unrestrained.The Qing army was like this, but Sha Luoben's place was getting better and better. Xiaojinchuan was restored, grain was purchased at high prices from the Yunnan-Guizhou caravan to prepare for shortages, and tea and salt were also prepared in abundance.I also bought more than 20 muskets from the defeated soldiers of the Qing Dynasty, and I did not know where two cannons were fished out of the mud, and they were also repaired.The building of grain depots and the making of gunpowder are a lot of fun. The enemy and us have not yet fought, and the morale and the situation have seen their ups and downs... But these are military secrets, and no one can tell them except Qianlong and Fu Heng.Agui pondered for a long time before saying: "Now Zhang Guangsi's military gate is guided by Nezhongtang. The command of the whole army is unified. But the big grassland is really impossible to go in winter. There is Jinshan Mountain in the south, and it is full of snow in June. After October, the mountain will be closed. , food can’t be transported to the middle and south roads at all, and the emperor has given permission to attack next summer. As for victory or defeat, it depends on God’s will in addition to personnel matters, and Jiamu dare not make rash judgments.” He paused and said: “Zhang Junmen is old ——I mean his heart is old. In terms of age, he is still two years younger than Yue Junmen! ——He now avoids everything, and the word 败 can only be said to be "win"; "An" is not allowed to say "An" If you want to say "let go"; "horse" means "big donkey"; The names are all taboo words, so I’m worried, how can I report? I said you should report as ‘Family’s hard big donkey Fang Sheng’!——Isn’t this memorizing thoroughly?” After finishing speaking, he said: “Mr. Yan Qing There are still people waiting by the side. Let's not pick him up, let's leave!"

So everyone got up with a smile, and Liu Tongxun didn't stay with each other anymore. He sent him to the dripping eaves, said goodbye at the door of the hall, and went back to the house.Gao Heng and the others went out together and got on their horses, looked at their watches under the watermelon lantern, and said with a smile, "It's getting dark early, and it's still bright and sunny at Futian - I have something to do, see you tomorrow !” After saying that, he walked away.Agui laughed and said to the Dun brothers: "You want to eat my Gaosheng wine, how about we go to the Qianmen Gaosheng restaurant? It's a pity that Qian Du, Zhuang Yougong and Le Min are not in Beijing." Duncheng laughed: "They are a ball It doesn't matter if you are here or not? Xueqin is not far from Xizhimen, let's buy some braised pork, roast chicken, peanuts, siu mai and so on, and bring a jar of wine, so as not to disturb his house, but also to be high Wouldn't it be nice to be happy?" Several people even said it was wonderful.

Gao Heng left Liu's mansion and rode straight to Fu Heng's mansion. Before leaving the house in the afternoon, he asked his family to make up for the Fu family's Mid-Autumn Festival gift, and there was also a catty of old Korean ginseng. It was Kim Sung-joo, the North Korean envoy to Beijing, who passed by Shanhaiguan. Sent, he took it with him.There is also a letter written by Yue Jun to Fu Heng, it can be said that it is dignified to see Tang'er.But Gao Heng is a little afraid of Tang'er, because he has always coveted Tang'er, and has a heart that is not good for children. Fu Heng is a high-ranking official, and the empress is deeply respected and favored. Gao Heng can't compare to any of them, and there is a layer of inferiority complex Heart.But Tang'er's flower is so attractive, in his eyes, that figure, that posture, that appearance, that...everything is like that Huang Zi "Luo Shen", every frown and smile catches his heart Itchy.As long as he was in Beijing, Gao Heng always had to find a reason for three or two days, or pay homage to Fu Heng, or ask An to send things to Fu Heng's mansion. Son.

All the way, he thought that Tang'er had already arrived at the gate of Fu Heng's mansion, because Xiao Wang followed him to Chengde and brought a large group of men with him, there were actually no men in the second gate of Fu Heng's mansion.Gao Heng is a very familiar person. Someone saw him and reported him in. After about a bag of cigarettes, the old Wang came out and said: "Madam said that uncle Guo is a frequent visitor, so there is no need to be formal. Since you have a letter to our master, let us Please go in." Gao Heng was secretly happy, but also a little scared, so he walked into the inner courtyard alone.Seeing Tang'er's shadow reflected on the window, he smiled through the window and said, "Is sister-in-law in the room?" After pulling up the curtain, he entered the room, and saw several half-aged daughters-in-law standing under the kang, watching Tang'er in the room. Flowers are painted on the kang table.Those girls had benefited a lot from his little tricks, so they were busy moving embroidered stools, making tea, and passing hot towels for him. Gao Heng gave him a slap in the chest, and said with a smile, "Xiaosheng is so polite!" just sit down. "Gaoye's Jingbai is doing well now. The princes and grandsons in Beijing are all crazy after watching the Beijing opera of the Hui troupe!" Tang'er smiled, looked at Gao Heng's letter and bag on the table, and ordered , "Caihui, take the letter brought by Master Gao—what's in that bag?" Gao Heng took the opportunity to get up, and personally delivered the yellow cloth bag to Tang'er's kang, shaking and laughing: "This is a pack of high-quality Korean ginseng. It's for my sixth brother and sister-in-law. They are all ginseng that have been planed this year. The small one has 20 batches of leaves, and the big one has 70 batches of leaves. When it comes to singing, Even Prince Lao Zhuang has gone to sea. His third son Honghui has long been taught by Prince He. This summer, when he returned home, the old Prince set up a small stool at the entrance of the Moon Cave in the West Garden to enjoy the shade, listening to him outside. Reciting the opera line, "Tat, tat, tat, smack, smack, smack..." When he came in, Old Yunlu suddenly became irritable, pulled out the stool under his buttocks and cursed: "I'll beat you to death, you son of a bitch, Don’t read good books, just pick up bad ones!’ A bench smashed towards the head! Na Honghui caught it with a smile, and then made a door for him. Bai said: "Hey, ah, ah, ah... what a powerful prince!" Zhuang Wang also likes to watch operas, and he was stunned, and said, "Oh, good! You...you have really learned it!"" He was on the kang He talked and compared, and he learned well.The daughters-in-law and maids in the room were so amused that they giggled and laughed. Tang'er was also amused by the teasing, and spat: "Outside, you men look like big shots. When you meet the boss, you pretend to be a man and run errands. In fact, you are pretending to be a joke. What a beauty!" He raised the cat in his arms, and ordered the daughters-in-law to withdraw their pretense and retreat, and asked with a straight face, "How is Yue Jun's daughter-in-law? I really miss her! Last time she gave me a brocade embroidered with Chinese characters, I said I would give her something, but I forgot about it later." Gao Heng laughed and said, "Sister-in-law, is she talking nonsense? Yue Jun and I are official contacts, why did I see his guest?" Tang'er Said: "It's not necessarily that you can't see it. Nowadays, officials go sideways and try to make friends all over the world. Do you think you are a good person?" Looking at Tang'er under the lamp, Gao Heng's eyes became brighter and brighter.Seeing her sitting sideways with her slanted legs, she smiled sweetly and seductively, so she said with a smile: "Sister-in-law is getting more and more eloquent, and she is more and more unwilling to forgive others! I often tell the guy in our room, if you want Sister-in-law Shengliu is talented, even if I burned high incense in my previous life!" Tang'er said: "I'm old too, so what talent is there! But if I'm a man, Ding is Ding, Mao is Mao, go out That's a man who would sacrifice his life to the emperor for fame!" The more Gao Heng looked at him, the more itchy his heart became, he walked around, walked to the lamp, touched the candlestick and stroked the kang table, and praised: "this kang table The gold thread pinched in by my son is so beautiful...Ding is Ding, Mao is Mao, my sister-in-law said it very well. In fact, since ancient times, men are Ding, and women are Maoer! I have to go to Rehe in a few days, Do you have a letter? Sixth Brother has not come back for so many days, are you afraid that he will be promiscuous outside? Sister-in-law, don’t move, there is a moth in your hair, I will catch it for you!" "It's getting late." Seeing that he was getting more and more restless, Tang'er stretched her legs out of the kang, brushed her hair, and said, "I still have to go and see Kang'er, and you should go back too."——Speaking for a while Pick the curtain and go.Gao Heng's face was full of boredom, so he had to drag his steps away from Fu's mansion in an embarrassing manner. It's no fun for Gao Heng to discuss here.Over there, at Cao Xueqin's house in Wainan Village, Xiwan, the red candles were burning brightly, the bottles of sake were full, and everyone was chatting and laughing happily.Now Agui is gaining favor, and when he returned to Beijing, he was surrounded by a group of filthy officials all day long, and he was annoyed by the smiles on his face and flattery. , I was really happy with the ordinary taste of life, talked about the scenery and customs of the Southwest, and sighed: "If Xueqin goes to Jinchuan to see the wonderful scenery of four seasons in one day, what new tricks will come out of the 'dream'! Alas, Jinchuan If there hadn’t been a war, that place would really be a treasure land!” He told about the mountains and rivers there, the folk customs there, and also talked about Sha Luoben and Duoyun, the love and entanglement between Sha Luoben’s brothers, and everyone listened with gusto.Zhi Yanzhai said with a smile: "You didn't see us last time when you came back. We also said that you are a big official and your eye sockets are big. It seems that you are a temperamental person after all!" Agui laughed and said: "With Soldiers, in a dangerous situation, thinking about killing people all the time, guarding against losing the battle, the interest in writing has faded. What is Agui? You are called adaptability, and you are named after the front and back! Now you are going out to bring the old soldiers again. I'm going to be busy again." After saying that, he sighed and drank it down in one gulp. "Just now I heard Brother Ah Gui say that Duo Yun is brave, good at fighting, passionate and righteous." Liu Xiaolin said with a smile, "Xueqin has also added a female general, Lin Siniang, to her now! Then Jia Huan and Jia Lan's poems are fine, as long as Jia Baoyu’s long song praising this pink general is euphemistically desolate and mournful, it’s really shocking! Listen to me—” Then he chanted in a low voice: ...... The fishy wind blows off the wheat in Longtou, and the barracks are empty under the sunshine. The green hills are still and the water is flowing, and it is the time when King Heng died in battle. The rain drenched the bones and blood stained the grass, and the moon was cold and the yellow sand ghosts guarded the corpses. Flying cloud soldiers only protect themselves, Qingzhou sees dust, Unexpectedly, loyalty to Ming's boudoir angered Hengwang's proud man. Who is Heng Wang proud of?General Lin Siniang died. He ordered Qin Ji to drive away Zhao Nu, and Yan Li Jiatao came to the battlefield. There are tears in the embroidered saddle, the spring is heavy, the iron armor is silent, and the night air is cool The outcome is naturally difficult to predict, and the alliance is sworn to repay the former king with life and death. What's the matter of civil and military establishment of the court, not as good as Lin Siniang in her boudoir! I breathed a sigh of relief for Si Niang, the song was completed and I was still hesitant... After everyone listened to this mournful chant, there was silence all around for a moment.Zhang Yiquan couldn't help shaking his head and sighing: "How did you write it? It's too sad, too desolate!" Xueqin laughed and said, "That's a novel! Are you crying for the ancients? In fact, this ancient style is also ordinary, only suitable for Brother Shi At that time, when you were in a state of mind, it had a different taste. I haven't named it yet. " "It's called "The Poetry of General Hongfen"!" Agui was the first to say. "It's too vulgar!" He Xiaolin shook his head again and again, bowed his head in thought for a while, "It's better to call it "Lingbo Goddess"." Zhang Yiquan said: "This one doesn't touch martial arts, it looks like Luoshen, it's not that bad!" Zhi Yanzhai said; " I think it's better to write "General Hengwang Jige" directly! Dun Min said: "General Posuo! "Dun Cheng said: "I think it's called "General Jiongna"!" " Cao Xueqin shook his head one by one.He smiled and said: "None of them are suitable. This is a strange woman, and the title of the poem must be strange, so that it is well-proportioned." Dun Cheng laughed and said: "She is a legendary woman, and it is not recorded in historical records. Why should we work hard for Xueqin ——Let's eat wine, don't care about it!" As he spoke, he held up the pot, stared blankly, and shouted towards the back room: "Sister Fangqing, bring some more hot horse piss!" In the back room, Fang Qing agreed crisply: "Hey—here it is!" Fang Qing came out with a tin jug, smiled and poured wine into the hip jug, and said, "The little ones are making noises about breastfeeding, and the big ones are pestering you." I forgot to mix the wine when I was telling a story. There is something for you to eat! Just don’t get drunk, just like last time, put two or three horizontally and vertically on my kang, and spit out the wine and vegetables all over the floor. Doesn't it hurt your health?" Dun Cheng said with a smile: "Sister-in-law is getting more and more beautiful, fat, and radiant - if we don't respect Xueqin, we will have to think about you!" Fang Qing spat: "Damn! You're full of nonsense, and it's serious to pour you yellow soup!" Laughing.Dun Min followed the voice and looked at her back and shouted: "I have a copy of "Liao Zhai" at my place! It's full of stories, next time I'll bring it for you to play with Bao'er!" "Ghost talk—ghost painting!" Cao Xueqin never paid attention to the jokes his brothers and Fang Qing were making.He clapped the table and said, "Why don't you call it "General Yuhua's Ci"?!" Everyone was taken aback: How could you use "nonsense" as the name of this poem?I saw Cao Xueqin draw the word "姽竹" on the kang table with the finger of wine, and explained: "This word comes from Song Yu's "Goddess Fu". It originally said that women are beautiful and chaste. I co-authored the story of Lin Siniang's identity. This word is rarely used in modern times, and it sounds novel, wouldn't it be great?" Everyone laughed when they heard it.Duncheng said: "Xueqin has got my attention this time. If I hadn't asked my sister-in-law to come out, how could you have found such an idea without those jokes? You want to toast me—" Picking up the door cup and After drinking by himself, Dun Min said: "Now Ji Xiaolan is collecting books for the imperial court. Now there are such good books, why don't we recommend them in? It would be interesting to ask him to compile "Siku Quanshu"." "Don't, don't!" Cao Xueqin said with a serious face while pouring wine for everyone, "I'm just going to talk about this. I'm a commoner, an idler, and I only write books for ordinary people to read and to entertain idlers. So This book never touches on military and state affairs, and dare not talk about imperial government affairs. Master Ji's order to compile "Siku Quanshu" has long been assigned to Zongxue, and only books on classics and history and political essays can be selected. Ji Xiaolan doesn't like it. "Liao Zhai", "Red Mansion" and other books about the erotic love of barnyard officials. He has his own way, everything is true, and he has to write it in a serious way, and only by citing classics can he get his eyes. Don't look at Ji Gong's humor, he can It's not Gao Shiqi, a first-class figure in the former dynasty, but a minister of economy and economy who is old-fashioned and well-versed in human nature and nature. I don't want to mess with such a noble person." "That's right," Dun Cheng said while sipping a drink, "That's actually a naughty My old master, his humor is all to cover up his sophistication! Nowadays, people are getting smarter and smarter in the prosperous age. The emperor's sage won't let the holy grandfather, but what about the courtiers? The more you look at it, the more you are a bunch of cunning! Nezhongtang seems to be a bit human. Like Xiong Cilu, Guo Xiu, Zhou Peigong, Zhao Liangdong, Li Guangdi, the famous officials in the Xi Dynasty, if you look at it now, how can there be such a group of them! No one can match them!" Agui said: "What you said is absolutely amazing. Sun Jiagan, Shi Yizhen, Fan Shijie, You Mingtang, and Yin Jishan can still see it." "Sun and Shi have a bit of the legacy of the Xi Dynasty." Dun Cheng poured up the wine and took a sip Tea, "Fan Shijie and You Mingtang are two-and-a-half dicks, and Yin Jishan plays Taijiquan. How can it help the court affairs? Back then, Tang Laicheng wrote to Beique, brushed his sleeves to Nanshan, and returned laughing. That kind of masculinity is not seen now. In the world of femininity, she became a woman—uh! The world... is like our chief brother-in-law Gao, who has won many awards! The ghost knows how he "suppresses bandits" in Shandong. He is good at making fun of women. The rich man got to work as the head of the Salt Taxation Department in Texas, and slept with his wife in the open shop at night, covering his shorts, and playing the board of the Qing Gang. Liu Tongxun—uh! Look at him stiff, he must be trying to force Blind Wu not to provoke him. What about brother-in-law Gao—Xueqin remembers that waiter named Xiao Lu? At Gaosheng Restaurant, he worked with the sixth master. That guy has reached the fifth rank now! Somehow, the ghost cast Zhang Zhongtang’s door with a hammer, and he was promoted! Jishan wrote to Hengxiang last time, and Hengxiang wrote him back. I was in front of him, and the letter said— — Uh huh! Someone Xiao can be cultivated, but he can be responsible for one party, give him a trial, and it’s okay... This is going to be promoted again!" He was very drunk, his chest was open, his eyes were open, and his mouth was sluggish. His tongue is sour, he doesn't care about anything, he criticizes and criticizes many important people in the world, Cao Xueqin is afraid that he will go on talking, even Fu Hengtang'er will not forgive him, so he is busy interrupting, asking for sober soup.At this time, Duncheng was already in the decline of Yushan, smacking his lips and still rambling, "Who can tell whether the world is prosperous or declining? All kinds of luxury are illusions, what is evil, what is romantic? Who will stay? Why do you want to ask for it? I only love teeny heads! How sad is the experience? The source of water is hard to repay... The poems written by the old man of Yanzhai are really good... Sister-in-law Fangqing, the third son of Dun The fuck is going to fall here..." The next day, Ah Gui went north to Chengde to have an audience with Qianlong, but Cao Xueqin did not go to see him off because of a religious meeting.Woke up early in the morning to grab a few mouthfuls of rice in a hurry, helped Fangqing wash the pots and dishes, and was about to arrive at Chayingmao.Big Maomao is eight years old, little Maomao is only two years old, and they are still standing upright on the kang. When they heard that their father was leaving, they turned over and got up, jumped off the kang and chased them out. Erbo's big dog eats Double Ninth Cake, I want it!" Little Maomao pulled her braids and shouted: "Yesterday you said you would buy me a grasshopper cage, how can you say it's not worth it? I'm going!" Cao Xueqin squatted down and hugged each other He said a lot of "whispers" and still didn't care.Fang Qing came out and grabbed one by one, and said: "Just ran out with a bare back like this? Who has frostbite, and I won't take him to the Jade Emperor Temple Fair—you should go, you didn't see a big man or a child Sticky!" Xueqinfang smiled and went. The Right Wing Zongxue is not far from the Cao family.Enter Xizhimen and go straight to Yuli Xudi in the east, and turn south into a narrow narrow alley, which is Zongxue Hutong.The outer façade is only about half the width of a room, and the earth-gray old city bricks stretch to the top, and the wormwood on the tile eaves is more than a foot deep, which is very inconspicuous.But it’s different when you enter the courtyard. When you enter the courtyard three times, the main hall “School Auditorium” on the central axis is larger than the six halls. The two wing rooms are also very tall. There are organdy-wing veils in the glass window, which is very luxurious. This is the place where the princes and grandchildren of the descendants study.From this door to the west, there is another courtyard, the furnishings in the room are rather simple, this is the study place for the distant clan and the ministers' children who came to study, and to the west is a large garden of Crow Crow.From the Ming Auditorium compound to the south and then to the east, it is the resting place for the family members, long followers, coachmen, and bearers brought by these princes and grandchildren. There is another gate in the southeast corner, which is wide enough for two sedan chairs to go out. Opposite entry-everyone with sedan or car enters and exits from here, but in fact, very few people go through the main entrance.Cao Xueqin entered the second gate, and heard the sound of the cloud panel chime from inside, and the students running around in the courtyard threw bird cages and horse whips to their families, and sneaked into the school-the wing room like headless flies.Chicken feather shuttlecocks, glazed eggs, stones, and mud piles were thrown all over the yard, and several servants of the Ministry of Internal Affairs swept the ground with brooms, because Ge Xiaoxin, an instructor who taught writing, stood aside with a large scroll of paper and covered his nose. Hiding from the dust, he asked, "Isn't it from today's teaching meeting? Why do you want to teach students again?" Ge Xiaoxin smiled and said, "It was Prince Zhuang who sent us a letter from Liu Dabi, saying that Ji Zhangjing was coming to inspect Zongxue, saying The students here hang around all day long, not for studying at school, but for playing with friends, or trying to get those twenty-two month cases to beg for food. The emperor ordered Ji Yun to pick up and rectify this sect. Big Nose Liu is careful about eating. Meetings are just like that. The students hold the meeting after the class, and they just tell us to come earlier. Isn’t this an old trick of Big Nose Liu?” Xueqin smiled and looked up Look, and said: "The sky is cloudy, and it rains easily at this time. Today I will go back on the dirt road." After finishing speaking, he entered the second school room on the south side of the west chamber. Here, different folk Sanjia villages are taught, only four books and five classics are taught, and ink scrolls are made. There are four main courses of classics, history, Zi and Ji, and four sub-courses of piano, chess, calligraphy and painting.The students practiced the piano in the west courtyard, and the other seven classes of the relatives and relatives of the Emperor Jinzhi were all taught in this courtyard.Cao Xueqin specializes in teaching painting. Students love him for his informality and extensive knowledge. Lectures are readily available and easy to pick up. They all like to listen to his classes.Before entering the school room, it was already elegant and quiet.I only heard the rustling sound of sheets of rice paper unfolding.When Xueqin came in, the students shouted together: "Mr. Cao is welcome!" "Gentlemen!" Cao Xueqin replied with a slight bow.He looked at the plain rice paper hanging on the wall, smiled, picked up the pen, dipped it in the ink pool that the students had already polished, rolled it in the brush bowl, painted the paper horizontally, and stippled. Erase it casually, and in a blink of an eye, a lying stone covered with vines is painted. The vines are dotted or blooming, or budding, or drooping, or high-spirited. Many tentacles and small flower spikes are painted, asking: "What is this?" what?" "Stone, kudzu!" "Stone, honeysuckle!" "Stone, Xue Luo!" Xueqin smiled and said: "This is a freehand painting. You don't need to pursue the name of the vine. Wherever your heart goes, the painting will appear. If you pay attention, you can also see that this stone is yellow stone, dark brown cane, dark green leaves, and light blue tentacles. , purple and red flowers. Therefore, it is not enough to just splash ink randomly. To be able to ink five colors, you only need to use light and thick ink, use water and ink, and focus on the front and side of the wrist. Some people paint ink chrysanthemums, The painted ones are black chrysanthemums, like window grilles cut out of black paper. The reason is that he did not follow nature, but "drawing" chrysanthemums there, so it is rare to see them well. The size, size, reality must be well established... Don't underestimate the painted stones, the world's spiritual stones are as numerous as the sands of the Huan River, no two are exactly the same, the same Vulture Peak, a hundred people have a variety of forms, Whoever can write its spirit of "Lingfei" will enter the realm of sitting photos. It is the same three-life stone, whoever can draw the relationship of love outside the world, will enter the realm of deification after seeing this "fate". If the painting of Taihu Lake stones does not reveal the meaning of water, the painting looks like a piece of wax. From the shape to the sitting photo, if you are fascinated by the scholar's own talent, you must honestly go to the mountains to look at the stones. You are lazy, old man. Heaven will not make you perfect!" He talked about hand-painting, and one by one, he painted Taishan stone, Huangshan stone, Emei stone and various vines, all of which were hung up in a row, teaching students to compare their own, and teaching students to draw, and hang them up after they were drawn. Starting from the commentary, the students were led into a wonderful place by him, and all of them listened with wide eyes and were fascinated.Suddenly, a primary school student asked loudly: "Sir, have you read it? There is a Nuwa Sky Repairing Stone on it, and Qinggeng Peak is also a stone! Ama said, no one can draw these two stones well, you Can you draw a model for us?" The students immediately applauded together and shouted, "Please demonstrate, sir!" "It's the seventh brother Yongqiong!" Cao Xueqin smiled, "Have you seen it?" Yongqiong is the grandson of Yuke County Wang Yunou, who has already taken the title of General Cheqiong. Since I was lucky enough to drive without leaving the palace, the prince who followed the rules the most, even his grandson knew about it. Cao Xueqin was relieved on the one hand, but disturbed on the other, so he smiled and said: "I have never seen this movie before." Books, this is difficult." Xiao Yongqiong said: "Who doesn't have a book now? I haven't heard of it, and the scholar-bureaucrat's family doesn't have one, so they are downgraded?" The students booed again, shouting: "Sir, please coax us. Mr. Draw!" It was extremely lively, and there was a lot of noise in the south school room by the partition wall. It seemed that the tables, chairs, and benches were all making noises, and there was also the sound of smashing bowls, broken inkstones, and a few students were crying, making noise, making noise and beating, and couldn't make out what was going on. , The whole courtyard was alarmed.Then I heard someone yelling from the Ming auditorium, but it was Liu Yuqing, the deputy head of Zongxue, who wiped his big red nose with a handkerchief, walked squarely to the door of the Nanshu house, and asked, "Ge Xiaoxin, what's wrong with you?" , you guys are making such a fuss, and you don’t care about it!" At this time, the "fathers" in the various schools have heard that there is a lot of excitement, how can the teachers restrain themselves?A swarm of bees happily jumped out of the courtyard, yelling: "It's a fight, it's a fight! Watch the Sanying fight against Lu Buluo!" Xueqin followed the students out to watch, and after listening to Ge Xiaoxin's explanation for a long time, she realized that the school next door also caused trouble for the incident. It was a big fight. The matter started from Prince Yi's grandson Yonglang.He stole the royal manuscript from home, and peeked at it with his hands under the table during class. Hongchun, the second son of King Yunti of Xun County, saw it and begged to borrow it to read it.Before Hongchun finished watching, Beizi Hongjing borrowed it again, but was forced to borrow it by Prince Yi's grandson Yongxuan.Although Yongxuan's father and grandfather were ordinary, he himself was the fourth son of Qianlong, the current emperor.King Yinyi has no heirs, and both Hongjing and Hongchun are close relatives who have committed crimes and were deposed under the hands of Yongzheng. How dare they disobey the flesh and blood of the emperor?I had no choice but to borrow it, and when it was time to return it, Yong Lang flipped through the book and found that two pages were missing.弘暻、弘春两个“叔叔”惹不起两个侄子，在下头互相埋怨，已经私下打了一仗，弘春吃了亏，乘着葛效信教字儿不备，一砚台飞向弘暻，却砸翻了永珹的茶碗，永珹料是永琅支使人报撕书之恨，当堂起身指着骂：“我日你奶奶，敢暗算我！”永琅也是世宗过祧怡王来的孙子，从小骄纵惯了，回口就说：“我看你不是人，撕我的书，还日我奶奶。我奶奶就是你奶奶，你乱伦！打他个乱伦的种！”……于是一堂书法课顿时打成一团。 刘大鼻子听明白了，掂量掂量四个学生，自己一个也惹不起。因将火冲向葛效信：“还是你这老师不地道。师道尊严，你但体尊自重些，何至于爷们就闹得这样？”骂得葛效信垂首不语。曹雪芹在旁看不过，在旁说道：“刘总席说话这么没分晓，这干葛老师什么事？学生们年岁小，闹气是寻常事，不管哪个爷，也都有理管着，该教训还得教训，不然，要这宗学干什么？” “曹沾你老实着点！”刘羽清因葛效信是允禄王爷门人介绍来的、也不敢过分斥责，雪芹一开口他便拣到了软的，立时瞪起牛蛋眼横声儿说道：“就是你没上没下不讲师道，惯得爷们都不听老师的。你有什么了不起？不就是敦老二、敦老三撑腰子么？”又问葛效信，“葛老师，你说，曹沾上回在你跟前，都说了我什么话？”众人一听又出了新题目，都把眼来看葛效信，听葛效信说道：“曹芹圃说，说……你是势利眼，管不好这宗学……” 这下子炸了窝，这些皇家小子有的瞪眼，有的跺脚，兴高采烈地喊叫： “嗷嗷——势利眼！葛效信也是势利眼、王八蛋、混账、王八蛋！” 曹雪芹被葛效信当场反戈，气得脸色雪白，傲然看着天上一重又一重压上来的秋云，许久才咬牙道：“浑浊！”刘羽清被学生们臊得满脸通红，却只冲雪芹吼道： “浑？嫌浑回你自家疃糊风筝去！” “糊风筝！”雪芹冷冷微笑道：“无论在哪里，做什么营生，也比这地方干净！”说罢一拂袖出了二门。 森凉的风从照壁后回旋一遭，呼地把曹雪芹袍角撩起老高，暗得黄昏一样的天穹，洒落几点冷得透骨的雨点。
