Su Liangchen, one of the four great talents in Jiangsu and Zhejiang, who has the reputation of being an immortal in songs, is exactly the person mentioned by Xie Jun, the owner of Biyuan, who wanted to invite him when he was far away in Yangzhou last time. These talents are the real romantics.
Most of the time, the family is very well-off. They have a lot of money to spend. They are well-versed in poetry, song and dance. The right way is to be young, rich and talented. Zhang Ning thought that Mr. Su, who was only famous, was not as talented as Zhou Xingxing's movie, but at least he was talented.
He is also a dandy wearing gold and silver.
Unexpectedly, Mr. Su was unexpected when he boarded the ship. If Mr. Su hadn't been praised so much by a group of people, it would be difficult for anyone to pay attention to him when he was walking on the road.
He looks very ordinary and seems a bit old-fashioned, maybe in his thirties; the most strange thing is his clothes, Dongpo scarf, brown straight dress, brown is the kind of color that is very dull and looks like it has not been washed.
The color is mostly worn by older people. Not to mention Mr. Su’s age, he is not considered old. Since he is called a prince, there is really no need to wear such clothes.
"Brother Luo, how did you create such a scene?" Su Liangchen pointed to the brightly lit surroundings of the boat and the dense crowds of spectators.
Liu Mingyue made a salute and opened her mouth to catch Su Liangchen's attention: "Please forgive me for being presumptuous, little girl Liu Mingyue. Because she is admired by Mr. Su for his extremely high level of cultivation in his music, she has tried many times to give him some advice but failed.
The young master will come to this boat tonight, uninvited."
Old Biao Luo took over the conversation and said with a smile: "That's right. Miss Liu is the most beautiful and famous female historian in Nanjing. As soon as she shows up and adds Brother Su's name, we can't keep quiet even if we want to."
"False names are just floating clouds." Su Liangchen looked at the few scholar-looking people around Mr. Luo. Seeing this, Mr. Luo introduced them one by one. They bowed to each other and reported their names, so they seemed to have become familiar with each other.
When Zhang Ning was introduced, Mr. Su paid special attention to him and said casually: "Is Mr. Yang doing well in the capital? When he was in Nanjing, he liked to listen to operas, and he loved the Suzhou accent in Nanjing operas."
Luo Laobiao was very thoughtful and immediately asked: "Which Yang is Mr. Yang that you two are talking about?"
"Zuo Yude Yang Shiqi Yang Gong." Su Liangchen said.
Luo Laobiao immediately looked at Zhang Ning with a strange look, as if he was saying how did you get to climb up to Yang Shiqi without hearing you mention it? Zhang Ning might have shown off this kind of thing before.
Zhang Ning just smiled and said: "It's okay." He didn't say much.
The men in this room were very busy. Liu Mingyue, a famous prostitute who was easily sought after wherever she went, seemed to be left out. However, her expression did not show any displeasure, and her eyes were still full of admiration. This was inevitable:
Although a famous prostitute is also a prostitute, her ambition is naturally higher than that of ordinary prostitutes. She may have more pursuits than a real lady. Not only does she feel that she is beautiful, but she also hopes to improve her skills. If she can get the appreciation and guidance of the famous celebrity Su Liangchen
, her worth in the world will be in another realm in the future.
"Just now Mr. Su mentioned Nan Opera, I can also sing it." Liu Mingyue said softly.
Su Liangchen smiled and said: "There is a line in the play, 'It's easy to entertain people, but it's difficult to move people.' With Miss Liu's temperament, it might be difficult to move people when she sings about a son who is filial and a virtuous wife. It would debase the girl's elegance."
"Young Master Su's words are precious, and the little girl can learn from them." Liu Mingyue bowed and thanked him, and then said with a smile, "Then Mr. Su wants to listen to the stories of talented people and beautiful women?"
Su Liangchen pondered for a moment and said: "Let's play a song to light up the crimson lips. Do you remember the words about "Fang Weng"?
Liu Mingyue nodded and said, "The little girl is showing off her ugliness," and then she burned incense and played the piano in the boat. Zhang Ning and others were more amateurs, so they all sat upright and wanted to hear something mysterious. Xuan Xu probably couldn't hear it, but the beauty's singing was pleasing to the eyes and ears.
it is true.
There were even more laymen on the boat in the river, shouting, "It's time to sing, it's time to sing, Miss Liu has a voice," which somewhat detracted from the scenery.
A few string sounds and the sentence "Returning from gathering herbs, looking for new wine in Maodiangu alone" instantly eclipsed the red, green, gold and jade of the painted boat, not to mention that the tone of the lyrics at this time was very contagious and penetrating. Liu Mingyue
It’s not a waste of fame, the atmosphere was immediately created.
The sound of the piano, the waves, and the night sky have lost the splendor of wealth. In the singing, you can see thousands of dusk mountains, long smoke and sunset, and hear the sound of fishing boats singing late in the night.
Zhang Ning instantly felt a kind of contradiction in Mr. Su, the contradiction of scholars. People's hearts have changed and become very utilitarian and worldly. People who make friends in daily life must look down upon those who are rich, powerful and promising. If they are of no value,
Those who don't even bother to look at you are just like the difference between words in this small circle now. It is normal for people to seek profit like birds seeking food, but as some truly noble people, they must be bored; but lethargic in the world
Later, I felt more and more lonely. I thought about it. If people who have achieved fame and fame in the past ten years have no place to use, leisure may not be the taste. Joining the world is what Confucianism advocates.
Lonely and leisurely. Su Liangchen sat quietly with his eyes closed and listened quietly, with loneliness written on his face.
…
After one night, it was the first month of the 22nd year of Yongle. Zhang Ning felt that he had no free time every day and was busy working. In the first two days, the whole family returned to the countryside, lived on the farm, and then went to the Zhang family's ancestral graves to pay homage to the deceased.
After he came back, it was time to visit Wu Yong, the doctor of Nanjing Ministry of Rites.
I bought some ordinary things as gifts, and the gift was the key. I gave him fifty taels of silver directly. Zhang Ning originally had tens of thousands of dollars, but in the blink of an eye he was once again extremely poor.
Wu Yong is also the interviewer and is Zhang Ning's direct superior. Hearing that Zhang Ning successfully took over Yangzhou, he praised him for a few words. There is no need to report accounts and the like during this meeting. That is the matter of his predecessor, and Zhang Ning has just taken over.
.
When we met for the first time, Wu Yong seemed very leisurely, but his leisureliness was slightly different from Mr. Su. Wu Yong seemed really leisurely and contented. He spoke in a fast and slow manner, never left his hand with tea, and his usual action was to reveal his face.
Open the lid of the cup and blow out the water; moreover, this person has a fair complexion, a good complexion, and a very well-nourished look, and has a Taoist temperament of internal cultivation.
"Ping An has just come from Beijing. He should also know that the people from Taohua Villa and even the deceased Zheng Qia are active on the ground in South Zhili. Our most important thing in the next period of time is to find out the clues of their activities." Wu
Yong said slowly, "As for Jianwen's whereabouts, all the previous clues have been lost. This time they popped up on their own, maybe it will be a new clue. Check the gang members of Taohua Villa and follow the clues to bring Zheng Qia into sight.
, Zheng Qia is a close official around Jianwen, and it is very likely that he will make a breakthrough."
"I will definitely do my best," Zhang Ning said.
Wu Yong said: "There are some people on the ground in Yangzhou. Take charge of them. Arrange a plan and ask someone to deliver a copy to Nanjing. You can handle the rest. If you have to cross the line when tracing clues, write a letter in advance to let them know.
."
At this point, Zhang Ning once again felt the rigidity of this organization, and everything was easily limited to their respective jurisdictions and powers. There was nothing that could be done about it. The rules of the officialdom were extended, and the officialdom was most taboo about dogs biting mice, and other people's affairs
You run to point fingers.
Wu Yong patiently explained some details. In short, this meeting was relaxed and pleasant, because Wu Yong's temperament and demeanor did not make people feel that the matter was urgent. The doctor of the Nanjing Ministry of Etiquette also had a small note, and he was also a sinecure, probably more than
An interviewer like Zhang Ning, who is responsible for specific matters, is not available yet, but Zhang Ning is quite polite and respectful in his words, and he gave money as soon as he took office. After all, he is the boss and there is no need to fight with him.
After meeting Wu Langzhong, it was almost time for Zhang Ning to return to Yangzhou. He had an official position. It was not nice to stay at home for too long. Those full-time officials in the system basically couldn't unless their parents had something to do.
Going home.
It's another parting. Money comes and goes and you feel relaxed after thinking about it, but people come and go but it's hard to feel relaxed. When he leaves, the two women's love for each other, one as a family and one as a child, is an indescribable kind of lingering love.
, he was dragging his feet and couldn't be free and easy. The younger sister said that she would go to Yangzhou to take care of him, but he didn't agree. How could there be a big girl around to take care of his brother? Besides, Zhang Ning felt that his job should not be as peaceful as a high-end or a low-end.
It's not good to bring a girl with you.
She was just a little sister, anyway, she was fine at home, but Fang Ling really made Zhang Ning feel an indescribable feeling in his heart. When she was found out and sent to the Jiaofang Department at the age of three, the massacre of Jianwen's ministers had already been in the limelight.
Although she passed, she still couldn't escape the fate of being sent to the Jiaofangsi to be a lowly person. She couldn't be praised at all. Why was she a prostitute who did not sell her body?
A group of prostitutes were messing around with them, and Zhang Ning was furious, and he suddenly developed a violent spirit to retaliate against society.
In fact, there are many women in the world who have been teased, and it is normal for them to be prostitutes. But Zhang Ning just doesn’t want Fang Ling to continue living like that. There is no reason. Because of this heart-breaking matter, Zhang Ning
I've been in a bad mood these past few days, and I don't like anyone.
He had to admit that his psychological quality was not good enough. When his mood was bad, he felt like the devil in his heart was scurrying around. Friendliness and love could easily be defeated by hostility and anger. He just felt that he was a complete angry youth these days.
, you can talk about the injustice and darkness of this society casually.
He was worried at first, but when he met Fang Ling on the third day of the first lunar month, she actually wanted to give Zhang Ning silver for free. Although silver is vulgar, it can sometimes represent a person's sincerity. Why should someone who sells himself for profit?
Flipposting?
"It's safe to leave here and I don't know when I will come back..." Fang Ling's face was full of sadness, "Don't dislike these coins, there are no outsiders anyway. I know that you have just become an official and you don't have much money. You can lack everything when you are outside.
You can't live without this copper-smelling thing, I'll lend it to you."
But seeing that Zhang Ning was silent, she pretended to smile lightly and said, "What's the matter? Can't you collect my things?"
"I definitely don't want the money." Zhang Ning looked very calm, "I'm thinking about another thing."
