What kind of wisdom, is this the marriage I chose?
It was obviously forced upon me by others!
anyway.
A literary middle-aged woman and a literary young woman came together to create some sparks. On this point, Zhu Hao felt that he had done nothing wrong. At least he gave his little wife something to do and let her spiritual world
obtain a certain degree of satisfaction.
"Aren't you here? Madam, I'll go back first."
Zhu Hao said and was about to leave.
Lou Suzhen didn't try to keep her and came out to see her off.
Before parting, Lou Suzhen thought thoughtfully: "There seems to be some estrangement between the young master and his wife. As husband and wife, even if they respect each other as guests, there is no need to be so alienated, right?"
"hehe."
Zhu Hao shook his head and smiled.
Even if Zhu Hao didn't say something, and Sun Lan probably didn't say it himself, Lou Suzhen could still tell.
Zhu Hao and Sun Lan did not have a normal married life, otherwise Sun Lan would not be so free as to come to the women's school and workshop every day. As an "experienced person", Lou Suzhen seemed to want to promote the relationship between Zhu Hao and Sun Lan as a couple.
harmonious.
But what Zhu Hao was thinking at this time was, would it be inappropriate for a princess like you to say these words?
Lou Suzhen may also feel that this statement is a bit presumptuous, and explained: "I did not ask in detail, but it can be seen from the surface that the young master has great ambitions, has a lofty vision, or has other deep meanings... I am presumptuous about this.
.”
"Ma'am, farewell."
Zhu Hao never talked to Lou Suzhen about anything related to Sun Lan again, and left after bowing.
…
…
Zhu Hao then went to the official office, but still did not come home.
He doesn't know where his home is either.
Sun Lan's place is his home, as is Zhu Niang's place. The official office has endless memoranda to review every day, so it can be considered home. There is also a small nest near the Hanlin Academy for him to sleep and rest, and there are experiments.
room and workshop...
Zhu Hao usually didn't pay much attention to it, but now that he thought about it, he actually had no time to take care of his personal life since arriving in the capital.
After Lou Suzhen had a heart-to-heart talk with Zhu Hao, she actually had a "sense of responsibility" and wanted to bring Zhu Hao and Sun Lan together as a young couple.
The next day.
Sun Lan came over as usual. Her latest task was to teach female students to read. This is Sun Lan's favorite job. She teaches what she has learned in her life to girls of a similar age who have never touched books, so that she can have a good time.
A huge sense of accomplishment.
Sun Lan is not very good at textile technology, and Lou Suzhen deliberately prevents her, the mistress, from having too much contact with machinery to avoid danger, so Sun Lan rarely goes to the workshop.
"younger sister."
When Lou Suzhen appeared in front of Sun Lan, Sun Lan had finished her morning teaching.
Taking advantage of her free time before eating, she picked up a brush and practiced calligraphy.
The girls' school is in charge of lunch, and the food is pretty good. The maid Chunyu will also bring food boxes from home.
Sun Lan heard this and moved the paper back on the table, but Lou Suzhen discovered the contents on the paper.
"Last night it was rainy and windy, and I couldn't get rid of the lingering wine after a deep sleep. I tried to ask the person behind the curtain, but the crabapples were still the same... Li Qingzhao's words were a little bit resentful, which was not very good..."
Lou Suzhen looked at the table, realized something, and commented with a smile.
Sun Lan said: "My sister is very talented. Do you think she is very involved in poetry?"
Lou Suzhen pursed her lips and smiled: "Speaking of which, I have seen many talented people in the world, but when it comes to the great poets in the world, I only admire Tang Yin. His poetry can be said to be unique in the Ming Dynasty. There are so many talented people in Jiangnan, but only his poetry
He revealed an astonishing talent, which is not unrelated to his life experiences. But recently..."
"What's wrong?"
Sun Lan was very interested in this.
As a young artistic woman, of course she is very interested in things in the literary world.
Tang Yin is a master of both poetry and painting. Even though he is a little older, he is still a leader in the literary and art circles.
Lou Suzhen smiled and shook her head: "When you enter the official career, once you have the idea of serving the country and the people in your heart, you will no longer have the freedom and pride of being far away from the world. When I met him recently, he admitted that he had not thought about poetry for a long time.
Things, even painting, have come to a standstill."
"oh."
Sun Lan nodded, "That's quite a pity."
Lou Suzhen said sternly: "It's not a pity. On the contrary, I am happy for him. I think back then, he was living in poverty, wandering around and having no fixed place. No matter how touching the poems he left behind, it was not as good as being able to use what he had learned in his life and what he had in mind.
Isn’t it sad that the people of heaven and earth allow him to settle for mediocrity?”
Sun Lan looked at Lou Suzhen in surprise, and then saw a woman's expectation for another man in her eyes.
But after getting along for a long time, Sun Lan still didn't understand why Lou Suzhen, a heroine-like and strange woman, would favor Tang Yin? And what is the relationship between them? Why did Lou Suzhen do things for Zhu Hao?
"Look, I went too far when I talked about poetry. Please forgive me, sister." Lou Suzhen came back to her senses and found that Sun Lan looked over as if he was sizing up a monster, so she couldn't help but smile apologetically.
Sun Lan looked calm: "Sister, we are joking. You and I are discussing poetry. What we are talking about is everyone in the world. How can we go too far?"
Lou Suzhen smiled and said, "But, before, I always felt that Tang Yin's poems were unparalleled in the world, but after I came to the capital, I heard that there was a poem that was recited by everyone and was not inferior to Tang Yin. I wonder if my sister has heard of it?"
"Could it be... "Linjiang Immortal"?" Sun Lan asked.
"Um."
Lou Suzhen nodded, "As soon as this word came out, it became the most popular word in the world, and there was a lot of discussion among scholars in the market. I heard that it was written by a certain talented man in Hanyuan."
Sun Lan asked expectantly: "Who?"
Lou Suzhen shook her head: "I don't know. Logically speaking, if such a praiseworthy quote has spread to the world, its author's name should have been famous for a long time. But for some reason, others are always talking about it, but no one acknowledges it. Some people say that it is Mr. Yang Ge.
It was written by the son of the father-in-law and was compiled in the Hanlin Academy...that is, Yang Shen, who was a colleague of the son, did not distinguish the authenticity. "
"Yang Shen?"
When Sun Lan heard this name, he was not unfamiliar with it and couldn't help but nodded.
Lou Suzhen smiled: "Actually, it may not be true. If it were him, why should he be so secretive? Writing a poem is not a shameful thing. Such arrogance is not something that a talented man who has been in Hanyuan for a long time can do.
...Or maybe someone else is using Yang Shen's name, I can't tell. Anyway, does my sister know the content of this sentence? I think I like it very much."
Sun Lan took off the top page of the thick stack of paper on the desk, revealing the paper below which was full of words, and the content was "Linjiang Immortal".
Lou Suzhen was very surprised when she saw it.
Although Sun Lan's calligraphy is not excellent, it is graceful and delicate. Lou Suzhen was very happy to see it.
"My sister is very talented. It seems that she and the young master are a match made in heaven. The young master studied under Tang Yin. According to what Mr. Tang said, the young master's poetic talent is also very good, not as good as..."
When Lou Suzhen learned that Sun Lan was also a female literary youth who was proficient in calligraphy and poetry, she remembered the scene when she met Zhu Hao yesterday, and she couldn't help but have the idea of helping Zhu Hao and his wife to make peace.
Sun Lan smiled bitterly: "Sister Yan smiled."
Even if Lou Suzhen intended to match her, Sun Lan was not interested in it. Lou Suzhen felt that her enthusiasm was all over the cotton and could not make any waves.
Later, it was difficult for Lou Suzhen to continue talking about this topic.
…
…
Zhu Hao did not restrict Sun Lan's freedom.
According to the wishes of the Sun family, classes ended a little early that day. He came to the women's school and Sun Lan happened to be there, so he asked his newlywed wife to find time to go home to visit her relatives.
Sun Jiao was too embarrassed to directly ask Zhu Hao to take his daughter home, so Sun Yuan told him.
Even if a married daughter goes home to visit relatives, she cannot stay overnight, especially if she is newly married.
The next morning, Sun Jiao knew that his daughter was coming back, so he quickly put aside what he was doing and went back to see his daughter.
"Your mother...will arrive in Beijing in a few days..."
Sun Lan was not born to Sun Jiao’s first wife.
Sun Jiao had no children for most of his life, so he had already planned to adopt an heir, but due to his caution, he had no intention of taking in a concubine.
Unexpectedly, his first wife passed away, and his step-wives gave birth to two sons and a daughter.
Sun Jiao didn't have a child until he was in his forties, and he had a daughter when he was in his fifties. Naturally, he cherished it very much. He was originally "kidnapped" by the Empress Dowager Chiang when he arrived in the capital, even though the Empress Dowager Jiang wanted to bring Sun Jiao's family members with him.
But Sun Jiao was angry and felt that he would be able to return to his hometown soon after arriving in the capital, so he could not give the impression that he wanted to settle down in the capital.
Therefore, he was very reluctant to move his family to the capital.
But as time went by, several resignations came to no avail, and his career as an official was far away. Sun Jiao himself had no one to take care of him in the capital, and he had to endure the pain of being separated from his family in his old age... The emperor also missed him, and specially
He asked the Anlu local government to mobilize carriages and horses to transport his family to the capital. Sun Jiao got off the road and refused, so he agreed.
Sun Lan's face was filled with joy after hearing this.
"Moreover, tell Jingdao, don't let him always think about leaving Hanyuan. Sometimes he is too old-fashioned. It's useless to talk to him face to face. You can only raise it..."
Sun Jiao asked his daughter to come back, and he even came back to meet her. He had a very important purpose, which was to let his daughter persuade Zhu Hao to stay in the Hanlin Academy. After all, pillow wind was more effective than anything else.
Sun Lan looked miserable and didn't know what to say.
Even if they are a couple, they have only met three or four times since they got married. How can they still talk to each other?
Even if I say it, will Zhu Hao listen?
Sun Jiao scolded his son-in-law again in front of his daughter: "He is a bit talented, but he can't always think about conspiracy and conspiracy. Isn't it good to just settle down and study? Hanlin is a noble position. How many people want to stay but can't?"
, you should also persuade him more and fulfill your responsibilities as a ***."
Sun Lan looked sad and asked: "Is it him... who made his father unhappy?"
"That's not true!"
Sun Jiao was thinking about himself, but when he heard this, he couldn't help but glance sideways. Seeing his daughter's miserable expression, he thought for a moment and asked with concern in a fatherly manner: "He's...not good to you?"
Sun Lan shook his head.
Zhu Hao treats her...
She was left out in the cold, but she wanted to give her something to do, so she introduced Lou Suzhen, Mrs. Gongsun, Gong Yeling and others to her. She now lives a very fulfilling life and even has hope in life. It can be regarded as a gift from Zhu Hao.
.
Sun Jiao nodded and said with satisfaction: "Well. He has finally lived up to his father's expectations for him. As long as he can be worthy of the court and the people, even if his father leaves the court, he will still have a successor."
