There was a lot of laughter and commotion on the boat.
Ding Yunyi was filled with emotion. These three girls are all fierce women, but the men they will marry in the future are either traitors or weaklings.
Fortunately, I came here, and this kind of thing will never happen again.
After making a fuss there for a while, Gu Hengbo stopped smiling and said, "Sir Domondin took care of me today and I can't repay him, so Gu Mei played a song to cheer me up."
As soon as this was said, everyone applauded.
Amidst the sound of the pipa, Gu Hengbo sang:
"Flowers are falling, the sound of evening rain and wind in front of the curtain; the sound of wind, I don't know how to hate it, but I insist that I listen to it. I sit in pain and leave my love, my face is sad every night, I am ashamed of the silver lamp; I am ashamed of the silver lamp, my waist and limbs are thin, and my shadow is also divided.
"
After the song ended, everyone applauded.
Gu Hengbo put down his pipa and looked at Ding Yunyi: "Why does Mr. Ding still like it?"
Ding Yunyi didn't understand what she was singing. He just felt that the mood of this song was dim and seemed to have a sad meaning. He bit the bullet and said: "What Ding said is wrong, girl, don't laugh at me. The girl seems to be saying that in the future, people will be old and yellow, so
Are you being left out in front of the meeting?"
Gu Hengbo stared at Ding Yunyi with his wonderful eyes, filled with indescribable emotions. After a while, he sighed softly: "Master Ding knows me."
Zhang Pu became very interested: "This is Mr. Ding. Not only is he extremely brave, but he is also extremely talented. When I was in Taiwan that day, he said, 'I urge God to be brave and send talents of all kinds' to this day."
"Oh?" Wang Yueda became interested: "So Mr. Ding can also compose poems? Since you are here today, why not write a poem and we will listen attentively."
How could I compose a poem? Those two lines were copied from someone else's. Ding Yunyi refused repeatedly, but the three women's interest was aroused by Zhang Pu's words. They refused to give up and insisted on Ding Yunyi writing a poem.
OK.
There is no problem in going into battle, but writing some poems will seriously cost Ding Yunyi his life. The same goes for Zhang Pu, who has nothing to do but make a fool of himself.
He frowned there. Others just thought he was thinking about it and remained silent. After lying there for a long time, he remembered Gu Yanwu's "Rizhilu". This article was written by my father who scolded him countless times before he could become familiar with it.
Chest, it seems that today I can only apologize to Gu Yanwu and deal with it.
He gritted his teeth and then said: "It's just poetry, but there is one piece of text that I have to show off..." A piece of Gu Yanwu's "Rizhilu" was recited from Ding Yunyi's mouth:
"There is the subjugation of the country, and there is the subjugation of the world. Xi differentiates between the subjugation of the country and the subjugation of the world. He said: Yi changed his surname and called it subjugation of the country. He was so full of benevolence and righteousness that he led the beasts to eat people, and people will eat each other. This is called the subjugation of the world... This is
Therefore, you know how to protect the world, and then you know how to protect the country. To protect the country, the king and his ministers are meat-eating people; to protect the world, how can one be held responsible for the lowliness of an ordinary man... Therefore, it is said that the rise and fall of the world depends on the common man.
Responsibility... After reading an article "Rizhilu", there was complete silence.
Ding Yunyi thought in his mind. He didn't know whether it was good or bad. Suddenly, Li Xiangjun said loudly: "What a 'Every man is responsible for the rise and fall of the world'. This article is every word, and the last sentence is the finishing touch, enough to be passed down for eternity. Ding
Sir, the little girl has learned a lesson."
After this, everyone finally came to their senses, and they all praised him repeatedly.
The meaning of "every man is responsible for the rise and fall of the world" originated from Gu Yanwu, and the eight-character grammatical pattern came from Liang Qichao. Ding Yunyi combined it into two this time, which worked wonders.
Qian Qianyi felt that something was wrong. He said at the beginning of this article: "Since ancient times, there have been things like subjugation of the country and subjugation of the world. How to distinguish between subjugation of the country and subjugation of the world? That is: Yi's surname was changed to "subjugation of the country"
The road of benevolence and righteousness is blocked to the point of leading animals to eat people, and people are fighting to the death, regardless of winning or losing. This is called the destruction of the world... At the moment, the Ming Dynasty is in chaos, and the phenomenon of cannibalism is said to be in the hardest-hit areas.
It can be seen everywhere. Does this mean that the Ming Dynasty will subjugate the country or the world?
But this doubt can only be kept in the heart. Ding Yunyi is an important minister of the court, but he is nothing. How can he say that Ding Yunyi is half bad?
Zhang Pu savored this article for a long time, and later asked Gu Hengbo to bring him pen and ink, and copied it word for word.
Then he sighed: "What Miss Li Xiangjun said is absolutely right. This article is really every word, so wonderful that it can be spread throughout the world. Mr. Ding is a great talent!"
Ding Yunyi screamed in his heart and felt ashamed. How could he have such talent? It was just an article written by Gu Yanwu later.
The three women Gu Hengbo, Wang Yue, and Li Xiangjun also looked at Ding Yunyi with admiration, but they didn't expect that General Ding was actually an all-rounder in both civil and military affairs.
"The little girl also likes to write some poems, but she can't do it without romance." Gu Hengbo looked solemn: "But compared with the writings of adults, the little girl seems so childish. From now on, I will never dare to do whatever I want."
Wang Yue also sighed: "The most rare thing in this article is that it is concerned about the country and the people. It explains the ills of the world today and how to rectify the government. Especially these two sentences, 'Everyone is responsible for the rise and fall of the world.'
It’s really a lingering sound that lingers in my ears.”
Li Xiangjun said nothing, but looked at Ding Yunyi without blinking. Among these people, although she was the youngest, she had the strongest temper and was the most daring to do anything.
Ding Yunyi, the "literary thief", was so praised by these women that he blushed.
As soon as Ding Yunyi's "Rizhilu" came out, no one dared to recite poems or write essays. After chatting there for a while, the topic was nothing more than "Rizhilu".
Seeing that the night was getting dark, Ding Yunyi wanted to leave, but suddenly he heard Li Xiangjun say: "If you are lucky tomorrow, I will invite Mr. Ding to have a light meal. I asked my mother to go back and prepare it. I wonder if you can honor me?"
Going to Meixianglou to eat? That was something that many people in Nanjing dreamed of. Ding Yunyi agreed, and Li Xiangjun invited Zhang Pu and Qian Qianyi. Her two sisters, Gu Hengbo and Wang Yue, also wanted to go.
The boat docked at the shore, and Ding Yunyi and others got off the boat. When they were leaving, they saw three women looking at him with three pairs of beautiful eyes, as if they recognized this person again, which made Ding Yunyi very embarrassed... This time
When he woke up early that morning, Zhang Pu was already waiting there. He was as attentive as Ding Yunyi had been to him when he was in Taiwan.
Ding Yunyi's status in Zhang Pu's mind is very different now. He was first introduced as his confidant by Zhang Pu, and then he saved Zhang Pu's life. Last night's "Rizhilu" was even more appreciated by Zhang Pu.
.
Zhang Pu's mood at this time felt that he was greatly honored to have recognized Ding Yunyi.
During breakfast, they chatted casually and said that Qian Qianyi had been here a long time ago. Seeing that Ding Yunyi didn't get up, he said something to Zhang Pu and then left.
Ding Yunyi said kindly: "Mr. Ximing, there are some things I shouldn't have said in the first place. But I think it's better for Mr. Qian Qianyi to have less contact with him."
Zhang Pu felt the same way: "Yes, I always thought he was a person. Who would have thought of all the clumsy performances yesterday. Flattery, flattery, and his ugly face will be exposed. Zhang Pu really doesn't want to be associated with such a person. But after all, we are all old acquaintances.
, I couldn't help but lose face... After chatting there for a while, Duan San'er came in and reported that Zhang Pu's personal guards had been hired, and they were all hired with huge sums of money in Nanjing.
Ding Yunyi was relieved when Duan San'er was doing things, and he carefully explained to him that he needed to be careful when selecting his guards, and never let people of unknown origin sneak in. He also said that all the expenses would be paid by Taiwan, which made Zhang Pu even more grateful.
Then he said "Jiangnan Academy". Zhang Pu said that counting the days, it would be completed in about a month, and asked Ding Yunyi to stay here for a while. Then we would go to Suzhou to attend the completion of the academy.
Ding Yunyi was originally eager to return home, but since Zhang Pu invited him, he couldn't say anything more.
"Sir, Ruan Dacheng is outside asking to see Lord Ding."
When Zhang Pu's disciple came in, Zhang Pu and Ding Yunyi glanced at each other, and Ding Yunyi sneered: "What is such a person doing here? He's gone."
"There is no need to worry about Xiang Wen." Zhang Pu advised from the side: "Although Ruan Dacheng has a lot of problems with his character, he still has some influence. Xiang Wen might as well meet him, and we can just adapt to the situation and see what he says.
.”
Ding Yunyi had no choice but to agree reluctantly. After a while, Ruan Dacheng came in. As soon as he came in, he bowed his head and said, "Ruan Dacheng has met Mr. Ximing and Mr. Dingzhen."
"Brother Yuan Hai, please sit down." Zhang Pu said calmly: "I wonder what Yuan Hai has to teach you today?"
Ruan Dacheng just sat down and stood up again when he heard this: "I offended you so much yesterday, and I came here to apologize to Mr. Ding today.
"Apologise? What crime are you apologizing for?" Ding Yunyi was confused.
When Ruan Dacheng heard these words, it was completely different. He thought it was Ding Yunyi who was sarcastic, and said in fear: "Yesterday, Ruan Dacheng didn't know that the sky was high and the sky was high. He even used a copybook to argue with the general town. Damn it, damn it, please give me a call.
Zhen Qianwan forgave Ruan Dacheng... Ding Yunyi couldn't laugh or cry after hearing this. He didn't take what happened yesterday to heart at all, but Ruan Dacheng remembered it firmly, fearing that he didn't sleep well last night.
Ding Yunyi said calmly: "This town has forgotten about that matter. Mr. Yuan Hai does not need to worry."
The more calmly he spoke, the more frightened Ruan Dacheng felt: "The general town is broad-minded, so naturally he won't take it to heart, but Dacheng always feels guilty for bringing some small gifts to the general town, and asks the general town to accept them."
After saying this, he asked people to bring in the "small gifts", including five thousand taels of silver, a batch of jewelry, and dozens of pieces of silk and satin. They were generous, but the expression on his face was clearly that he was worried that Ding Yunyi would not accept it.
Zhang Pu originally thought that Ding Yunyi looked down on Ruan Dacheng as a person and would definitely refuse to accept it. Who expected that Ding Yunyi smiled and said, "Then let Mr. Yuan Hai spend the money. Come and accept it."
Ruan Dacheng breathed a long sigh of relief when he saw Ding Yunyi accept it. This not only resolved the crisis yesterday, but also made Ding Yunyi acquainted with him. It could be said that he killed two birds with one stone.
After sitting down again, Ding Yunyi smiled and said: "I heard that Mr. Yuanhai is from a wealthy family, and it turned out to be true when I saw him today. I have a little thing that I would like to ask you for. I wonder if Mr. Yuanhai is willing to help?"
Ruan Dacheng was overjoyed after hearing this. Ding Yunyi actually asked for something from him. If he could help him accomplish it, there would be a lot of benefits in the future. He was a person trusted by the emperor. What couldn't he do if he just let go? So after hearing this, he immediately said
Responded repeatedly.
Ding Yunyi said slowly: "At present, disasters are still happening all over the world, and a large number of victims are flocking to Taiwan. We in Taiwan are willing to save the victims of the world, but unfortunately we have more than enough ambition but not enough power. After all calculations, there is still some money missing."
When he heard that it was just money, Ruan Dacheng immediately said: "Please tell me, Chief Town, how much money is needed?"
"After all the calculations, this town is still in the red with two hundred thousand taels... Ruan Dacheng and Zhang Pu were both shocked. They thought it was tens of thousands taels, but who would have thought that Ding Yunyi's mouth would be two hundred thousand taels. God!
, Zhang Pu only spent so much money to find the chief minister of the cabinet for Zhou Yanru.
Ruan Dacheng wouldn't blink an eye at tens of thousands taels of silver, but two hundred thousand taels cost him a lot of trouble.
Ding Yunyi knew what he was thinking, so he smiled and said: "This town will not let you give this money for free. Although Taiwan is a small place, there is a vacant position. This position is not trivial. It is not only respected, but also
There are so many subordinates. I did the math and it turns out that I will have tens of thousands of subordinates when the time comes... Ruan Dacheng was dumbfounded. Thousands of subordinates? What a prestigious position this is? But Ding Yunyi did not explain what official position it was.
Ruan Dacheng didn't have much time to ask.
After thinking about it for a long time, even though he had to sell off his family property and land to get the 200,000 taels of silver, but if he exchanged 200,000 taels of silver for such a majestic official position, would he still be afraid that he would not have any money in the future?
?
With this thought, there is no longer any hesitation: "The main town is saving the people from fire and water, how can Ruan Dacheng stand by and watch? Go back now, even if you destroy this family, you will definitely save enough for the main town!"
Saying that he didn't dare to waste a moment, he left in a hurry and went back to prepare money.
"What does Xiang Wen mean?" Zhang Pu asked in confusion as soon as he left.
Ding Yunyi laughed: "I would be sorry if I didn't take advantage of such a person's money. If he took out 200,000 taels of silver, it could be regarded as doing a good deed for the victims, and it can be regarded as a good deed for him."
Zhang Pu suddenly realized it, but he was still a little dissatisfied: "But the position you agreed to him, do you know the character of this person? If he becomes an official, he will be corrupt, pervert the law, and harm the people!"
"How could I not know this person?" Ding Yunyi said with a smile: "Although this person has a despicable character, he still has some talent."
This is absolutely true. Ruan Dacheng's character is low, but in terms of literary talent, he can indeed be called an "elite". Wen was even known as "the only poet of the Ming Dynasty" in later generations. Especially his "Miscellaneous Living"
"Spring Lantern Riddles", "Swallow Notes", "Double Gold List" and "Muni He" became famous for a while.
Ding Yunyi laughed at this time and said: "I asked him to go to Taiwan and teach those children to study for me. Isn't this a respected position? I have more than thousands of students in Taiwan. I said thousands or tens of thousands of students, but I was not lying at all.
His."
Zhang Pu was startled, then pointed at Ding Yunyi and laughed. (To be continued)
