Record four hundred and fiftieth: the savior
Mrs. Hu's birthday was so naturally that all the powerful people in the court were invited. All the well-known figures in Lin'an Mansion were proud of receiving invitations from the Jia Mansion.
At that time, Wei Ruzhi and Jiang Shengyu had only known each other for a short time. They were all covered in clean bones and were basically disdainful of the young masters who fought with cocks and horses in other powerful families.
Coincidentally, Lu Zhao had just passed the imperial examination, but because there was no suitable vacancy in the court for a while, he could only wait in the booklet of the Ministry of Personnel.
He and Wei Ruzhi became friends when they were young, and later they fell in love with Jiang Shengyu at first sight. The three of them became close friends and often sang and responded to each other, and they were having fun.
Watching the tide in the Mid-Autumn Festival has been a grand event since the Han and Tang Dynasties. When it came to the Song Dynasty, it was naturally a major hobby of the literati and scholars in Lin'an Prefecture. How could you miss it?
From August 16 to 18th every year, it is a period of great tides in the Qiantang River.
When the autumn tide is in August, the sea water will go up the ridge of Qiantang River along the trumpet-shaped Qiantang River, just as Zhou Mi said, "The snowy ridge in the jade field comes from the sky, loudly sounding like thunder, shocking and shooting, swallowing the sky and fertilizing the sun, and it is extremely powerful."
Since the emperor stationed in Lin'an Prefecture, watching the tide has become an annual event in Lin'an.
August 18th is the birth date of the tide god, and of course it is the peak of tide observation.
Later, the imperial court issued an order to train and inspect the navy on the Qiantang River on this day, and gradually became a practice and became a festival to observe the tide.
Therefore, on August 18th, most powerful families always gather in groups, with carriages and horses and people going to the seawall outside Lin'an Prefecture to enjoy the wonders of the world on the one-line of the river.
There are more than ten miles of river trunks, and there are pearls, jade, silk, silk, and carriages, and horses. There are no room for mats.
There will be a number of good swimmers on the river, wearing tattoos, holding colorful flags, fighting for the first place to cheer up, and coming up, appearing in the stormy waves, turning around and moving, and the tail of the flag is not wet, so as to praise the power. However, the noble people and officials will naturally not be stingy in wealth and property, and compete for silver lottery.
But Wei Ruzhi and the others really didn't want to squeeze into the posthouse with other wealthy young men and women, making noises and making noises.
So, Wei and Jiang took advantage of the inattention of their elders, and secretly left the West Lake Xiaozhu and hired another carriage to go straight to Houchaomen.
In order to facilitate tide observation, several tide observation pavilions have been built outside Houchaomen. There is Yingjiang Tower to the north, tide observation pavilion west, and Cao Pavilion, Jiang Tower, Zhangting Post, etc. Among them, Zhangting Post is the best tide observation location.
Wei Ruzhi had already made an appointment with Lu Zhao in advance, and the latter even went to the post house early to take a favorable position, ordering good tea soup and waiting for them.
However, Mr. Jiang is a little young and has a naughty nature after all.
He felt that sitting in the post building to watch the tide was not exciting enough, so he insisted on walking alone and rushed directly to the embankment by the river. In his words, he wanted to truly feel what Meng Haoran said, "The storm is like snow, and when he sits, he makes the cold."
However, Wei Ruzhi felt that this little brother probably wanted to understand the strange feeling of the tide that was about to start and turn into a chicken.
In the end, Wei Ruzhi could not dissuade him, so he could only accompany the Jiang family’s son to "go to the sea" to understand life.
It turns out that life never stops, and it’s endless trouble!
However, they really underestimated the power of the tide-
The three of them thought they had found a dry land that could not be hit by the waves. However, Jiang Sheng wanted to see the trendsetters walking on the flat ground at the forefront, and the flags were always displayed. On a whim, he leaned forward a few steps.
But at this moment when it was lightning, a tide of turning back suddenly rose, deafeningly, and directly attacked Jiang Sheng's desire. Even Wei Ruzhi, who subconsciously wanted to catch him, swept down. The two of them suddenly fell into the tide like the fallen leaves of the three autumns, and disappeared in a flash.
"Someone fell into the water! Someone fell into the water!" Lu Zhao, a gentle scholar, suddenly shouted in horror.
Someone on the post building saw this terrible situation and couldn't help but shout for help.
However, the trendsetters are still behind, and the waves are rolling. How can I catch up with the rescue for a while?
At this moment, two neat figures suddenly emerged from Lu Zhao, and they jumped directly into the tide like arrows.
Only then did Lu Zhao feel happy to find that someone had taken the initiative to go into the water to save Jiang Wei and the others.
Afar, a handsome and elegant young man in Jinyi stood on the embankment with his hands behind his back and looked here.
The river breeze lifted the corner of his robe, floating like a storm and clouds flowing, not like a common man on earth.
There, the waves were striking on the shore, and the figures fell into the water were gone, and the people on the shore were also frightened and speechless.
Soon, three or two trendsetters who caught up also wanted to dive to rescue him, but suddenly, two figures jumped out of the waves, one of whom was pulling a fallen water and flew back to the dike.
For a moment, the tide viewers on the shore exclaimed thunderous applause and shouted and applauded.
Later, Lu Zhao took Jiang Shengyu, who was rescued, and Wei Ruzhi went to thank the handsome young man. It turned out that he sent Suihu to save him in time to save him from drowning in the chaos of the river.
Only then did the four of them get to know each other.
It was only then that I saw the youngest son of the Xie Mansion who was well-known in Lin'an Mansion, who had always heard of his name but had never known each other.
------
The past scenes, like yesterday, jumped into Wei Ruzhi's heart.
"I will never forget your life-saving grace!" He turned his head and looked at Xie Changhuai with sincere eyes, "So, one day, I can repay you such a life-saving grace. Even if I pay it for my life, I will definitely not shirk responsibility and fear!"
Xie Changhuai still looked at the vast sky, his voice was cold and seemed a little indifferent: "Saving you is just a matter of raising your hands, and you don't have to sacrifice your life to return it!"
"I don't know what you want, but since Zhao Chonghuan is your friend, that is, our friend!" Wei Ruzhi was determined, "Save friends from water and fire, this is what a true gentleman does!"
Xie Changhuai turned his eyes to look at him, his eyes deep and he couldn't find the bottom.
Although the fat and round young man in front of him seemed honest and gentle, his eyebrows were not outstanding. Compared with the handsome Wei Ruxin, he was even confused that he was not born of a single child.
But in fact, he has always been more generous and gentlemanly than Jiang Shengyu, who loves to play.
Wei Ruzhi has always been shrewd but modest, with a prominent family background, but he never bullies others with power. He has the ambitions he wants to realize for the country and the people.
"Although I am related to the Jia family, you also know my feelings about that old husband! I really don't want to agree with what he does!"
"Maybe, I can't help you too much, but if it is beneficial to the country, please allow me to do my part! Besides, the convenience of entering and leaving the Jia Mansion should sometimes be of some use to you, right?"
Wei Ruzhi's argument made all Xie Changhuai's dissuasion of words were blocked.
He sighed slightly, raised his hand and patted Wei Ruzhi's generous shoulder, and gave up persuasion.
