Chapter 16 Second Master Lian Second Master Mei
But it was said that Jia Lian picked up Daiyu, bid farewell to Lin Ruhai, and Jia Yucun set off together to board the ship and return to the capital.
They took two boats in separate boats. Jia Lian and Jia Yucun took a boat with a group of servants and servants in front of the boat. Daiyu took the wet nurse Wang Ma, two maids who had been with her since childhood, and several mothers who had been picked up by Rong Mansion, and took a boat alone in the back.
Jia Lian only knew that the ship was heading north along the canal, but he didn't know whether the capital they were talking about was Nanjing or Beijing, so he couldn't ask.
After thinking about it again and again, it seemed that the whole book "Dream of Red Mansions" did not mention where the capital was. Only a bunch of titles such as "Shenjing", "Beijing", "Kyoto", and "Duzhong" appeared.
Although the scenery along the way is pleasing to the eye, no matter how beautiful the scenery is, it cannot be seen endlessly from morning to night.
No mobile phones, no internet, no games, nothing, only time.
Jia Lian was so bored that he just wanted to sleep. After a few days, Jia Lian was drowsy during the day, and tossed and turned at night and could no longer sleep. He sat on the bow of the boat and looked at the galaxy in the sky, as lonely as a dog.
What’s worse is that once a person is lonely, it is difficult to protect himself from thinking about random thoughts and worrying about the future.
Jia Lian held his head and thought: Do I want to sell honeycomb coal too? Turn "Second Master Lian" into "Second Master coal"?
He didn't want to pay attention to Jia Yucun, but in the end, between boredom and Jia Yucun, Jia Lian chose Jia Yucun.
Jia Yucun is a very good at flattering person. When he saw Jia Lian intending to chat with him to relieve his boredom, how could he have no reason to come forward?
So, I placed wine at the bow of the boat and picked up interesting topics to talk about everything, only to please Jia Lian.
After a few days, Jia Lian finally got to sleep normally again at night. By the way, he also learned a lot of stories about this dynasty and the customs of various places. He gradually felt that Jia Yucun was not that annoying.
The day was getting dark. Xing'er said that the boat was going smoothly and he had arrived in Zhigu. He would be in Beijing in two or three days.
Jia Lian seemed to be familiar with the name, but he couldn't remember where he had seen it, so he asked casually: "Can you land?"
Xing'er smiled and said:
"The second master is still thinking about the little girl in Haijin Town? Every time I go back here, I remember it, but unfortunately I have already returned to my hometown."
Seeing that Jia Lian was just laughing, Jia Yucun took the opportunity to raise his glass and said:
"Mr. Lian is indeed a romantic and affectionate young man. Come on, let's have a drink for the romantic!"
Jia Lian smiled and drank another glass of wine, thinking:
My original owner is really a good stud, from south to north, leaving everything there.
Suddenly Jia Lian remembered a few lyrics from Xu Wei's "Are Somewhere else":
Just the moment I entered,
I really want to die in your arms.
I saw my other body,
Floating to that far away place.
Taking advantage of the drink, Jia Lian sang aloud:
“Love is like flowers, it never blooms.
Desire grows like wild grass.”
Jia Yucun immediately shouted loudly when he heard this as if it was a five-character poem:
"Good poem! Good poem!"
Then I heard Jia Lian continue to yell:
“They are like flies, always flying around.
Beside me, erode my body.
Every night, I wake up from my dream.
Seeing my heart, it is floating out the window.”
Jia Yucun, who was about to continue attacking the case, stopped in the air, staring at Jia Lian, who was roaring with his eyes closed, was stunned.
Perhaps it was because of being too bored, which reminded Jia Lian of Jia Liancheng in his previous life. When he was about to be driven crazy by work, he grabbed the microphone in the KTV and vented wildly.
His three-leakage songs are "Exaggeration", "Are Elsewhere" and "Love Even When You Die".
When he was singing "Floating out the window", when he opened his eyes, he saw Jia Yucun inexplicably half open his mouth, looking at him as if he was looking at a monster. Jia Lian's heart sank:
Too careless! Serve scripts! It's revealed!
Fortunately, his psychological quality is pretty good, and he immediately smiled:
“Have you heard of Yucun?”
In Yue Wumu's "Manjianghong", there is a sentence that "look up and roars, and roars with great strength". In Wang Mojie's "Bamboo Liguan", it says "Sitting alone in the secluded bamboo bamboo, playing the piano and roaring again". Ruan Ji, who is the "Seven Sages of the Bamboo Forest", also roars.
I was determined to imitate it, but I felt the sound of roaring loudly, shaking the valley. Wouldn't it be more interesting if I could add some words?"
Jia Yucun was surprised:
"The Second Master is indeed always bright and refreshing!
Elegant! Elegant! Elegant! Elegant!
Compared with the Second Master, he was like a crow seeing a phoenix, pale in comparison and feel ashamed of himself."
Jia Lian said with a deep face:
"Yucun, you can praise it now. Whatever I say, you praise it, what fun is there to chat like this?"
Jia Yucun also took advantage of the wine and smiled:
"I'm afraid that as soon as my scholar's wild virtue comes, the second master will smash me with a wine cup."
Jia Lian raised the wine cup and made a stance to smash it:
"I'm ready, you can go wild quickly, otherwise I will really smash it."
Jia Yucun saw that the corner of his mouth was slightly smiling, then he put on his clothes and stood proudly in the wind, raised his wine and sang:
"The wish of three lives is uncertain, and a lot of sorrow is added.
When you come, you will keep your forehead tight and look back a few times.
Looking at the shadows in front of the wind, who can bear the moonlight?
If Toad Light is interested, go to the Jade Man Tower first."
When Jia Lian saw that he was going to perform the poem show in front of Zhen Shiyin, he performed it in front of himself again, and he was very disdainful, but he was inconvenient to say that he was a time traveler who had read the script.
"You are thinking about the jade man. What I want is the jade man who cares about me."
I threw the wine cup under my feet, twisted up a piece of rouge lotus root on the table with my hands, and specially pulled up the lotus root thread:
"It's just that the jade man pity the snow lotus, and I feel a little bit in my heart."
Jia Yucun laughed:
"The second master is really a sarcastic statement, accept it, accept it.
The second master’s wildness is the rich wildness, and my wildness is the poor wildness, how can I speak the same way?”
Shaking his head and raising his head, sighing:
"I missed Jia Yucun, who was lonely and poor since childhood and had nowhere to stay.
People say, "There is a golden house in books, a thousand bells of millet in books, and a beautiful woman in books." I, a poor child, can only count on ten years of hard work, and will continue to stop in winter and summer, and will be lighted at the third and fifth, which is really exhausting.
I hope to be a farmer in the morning and ascend to the emperor's hall in the evening; generals and ministers have no seeds, so men should be self-improvement."
But the big exam was in the capital. I went all the way from my hometown in Huzhou to Gusu, and made a living by selling my words and writing articles. With the support of Mr. Zhen, I was able to travel thousands of miles to the capital. It was also the grace of the emperor that I was appointed as a Jinshi and entered the official career.
Isn’t it actually a poor person to walk through this journey?
It was a fortune in the previous life that he was born like the Second Master.”
While listening to his complaints, Jia Lian complained in his heart:
Isn’t the imperial examination the ancient version of the “college entrance examination”?
You are called "College Examination" and we are called "Junior High School";
You are called "country examination" and "high school entrance examination"; we are called "high school entrance examination";
You are called "Ministry Examination" and we are called "College Entrance Examination";
You are called "District Examination" to take the Jinshi exam, and we are called "Civil Service Examination";
Reincarnation is a technical job. Some people were born in Rome, while others were born in mules and horses. The principles of ancient and modern times are the same.
The more I think about it, the more interesting it becomes, I can't help but laugh:
Chapter completed!
