Fu Cheng said "Hey" and said: "This is not something I dare to talk about -"

When Zhang E heard this, he thought to himself, "There's something going on." He said, "Uncle Fu, tell me, and I'll give you a sheep's fur coat."

Fu Cheng shook his head and said: "My master is a dignified man, and he is very affectionate with his grandmother -"

Zhang E interrupted: "No matter how affectionate we are, we are not together. How can it be that my fifth uncle is living away from home without a woman to wait on him?"

Fu Chengdao: "It turned out that there was one girl who was married to Aunt Ying. When my father went to Kaifeng again when he was forty years old, my grandma asked him to take Aunt Ying to take care of her. At that time Aunt Ying was already two years old.

She is thirteen years old. Alas, Aunt Ying was not lucky enough to wait for the day to return home. She died in Kaifeng five years ago."

Zhang E said "Oh" and said: "That Jiezi is much more romantic than the fifth uncle -"

Fu Cheng was mature, smiled and didn't ask any more questions. His son Fu Dagong could not help but be curious and asked: "Third Young Master, why is Young Master Jiezi so romantic?"

Zhang E smiled and said: "Young spring clothes are thin, and the whole building is full of red sleeves."

While talking, they arrived at Chengxian Street. The moon on August 14th rose above the Imperial College. The lights of the street reflected the moonlight. Zhang E stepped forward and said to Zhang Ruiyang: "Fifth uncle, the banquet has been prepared. The champion is over there.

There are also some students and friends in the restaurant, all waiting to take care of Uncle Fifth."

Zhang Ruiyang, surrounded by his nephews, went to the Zhuangyuan Restaurant. Three tables were opened on the second floor, with four people per table, and the servants opened another Eight Immortals table. Feng Menglong, Yang Shixiang, Xia Yunyi, and Ni Yuanlu all came to greet Zhang Ruiyang, and they came even more quickly.

The first time he knelt down and kowtowed in front of Zhang Ruiyang, he said, "I'm here to pay my respects to you."

Zhang Ruiyang felt very relieved when he saw that his son made friends with all the students. After chatting with them, he smiled and said to Lai Wang next to him: "Lai Wang, you have no relatives and no reason, so just consider this Lai Fu as your brother." Zhang Ruiyang

I have asked my son Zhang Yuan about the origin of Lai Fu.

Lai Wang came forward to pay homage to Lai Fu and called Lai Fu his brother, which confused Lai Fu. Wu Ling explained to Lai Fu with a smile. Lai Fu was naturally happy, and the two of them became brothers.

As instructed, the restaurant waiter set up a separate table for Zhang Ruiyang. Zhang Ruiyang, who was used to being frugal, named Zhang Yuan, Zhang Dai, and Zhang E. At the same table with him were Zhuangyuan red wine, hibiscus crucian carp, Jinling scallops, Jinling salted duck, chrysanthemum herring, clove spareribs and other famous Nanjing dishes.

As soon as the food was served, the waiter poured a glass of wine for Zhang Ruiyang. Zhang Ruiyang was about to lift his arms when suddenly he saw a boy with disheveled hair running up the stairs and running straight to Zhang Yuan, sweating profusely and staring angrily.

Zhang Yuan asked loudly: "Why did Mr. Jiezi let down my girl?"

The boy's voice was sharp and penetrating. Feng Menglong and others looked at each other for a while, but Zhang E knew what was going on. He covered his mouth and snickered. He wanted to see Jie Zi being punished by his fifth uncle. Zhang E had previously asked him to

Zhu sent Li Xueyi ten taels of silver and asked Li Xueyi to prepare wine and food. The three brothers wanted to use the Xiangzhen Hall to entertain friends. The old courtyard in Quzhong was originally a place for socializing. When literati gathered and entertained friends, they often used the old courtyard.

Brothel management——

Zhang Yuan hurriedly stood up and said: "Xue Tong, come with me outside to talk."

Xue Tong has a child's nature, so he was running around looking for Zhang Yuan. Then he saw that Zhang Yuan and the others were already drinking in the Zhuangyuan Building, but they left Sister Xueyi and Wei Gu waiting there. Of course Xue Tong was angry.

So I yelled loudly as soon as I came——

Zhang Ruiyang didn't understand what trouble his son had caused, and asked: "Zhang Yuan, what's the matter? What girl?"

Zhang Dai hurriedly took Xue Tong outside to talk. Here, Zhang Yuan saw his father asking questions and couldn't help but feel a little embarrassed. He said: "She is the female disciple of Chen Meigong in Huating. My son has helped her. Today I want to invite my son and all my friends to go together."

feast--"

Zhang Ruiyang has been working abroad for many years and is familiar with the world. When his son said this, he knew that the girl was not from a good family. His son was going to have a drink with a group of friends. He couldn't help but feel a little upset. His son was only seventeen years old and he was with a prostitute before he got married.

Family interactions, what does this look like? My son has made great progress in his studies, but the young man is wary of sex, and he will have to be reprimanded later. Of course, he must save his face at this time, and let’s not pursue it for the time being——

Zhang Dai dragged Xue Tong outside and glared: "You have caused trouble for Jie Zi. Did you see the old man sitting in front of Jie Zi? That is Jie Zi's father. He came back from Kaifeng and just arrived in Jinling. Now Jie Zi is going to suffer

My father scolded me."

Xue Tong's resentment disappeared, he opened his mouth wide and stammered: "I, I don't know——"

Zhang Dai smiled and said: "That's all, it doesn't matter. Just go back and tell Miss Xueyi and Wang Wei the reason."

Xue Tong hurried back to Youlan Pavilion, and Li Xueyi was also with Wang Wei. After hearing Xue Tong's reply, Li Xueyi covered her lips and said with a smile: "This is not good. Mr. Jie's father has arrived, and Mr. Jie will be scolded."

Already."

Wang Wei rolled his eyes at Xue Tong and said angrily: "Why are you so reckless!"

Xue Tong felt so ashamed.

Li Xueyi sighed softly and said: "Unfortunately, tomorrow is the Mid-Autumn Festival, and Li Shilang's son invited me to swim in the river and admire the moon. Originally, I declined, but I still want to go. Xiu Wei won't go with me.

?"

Wang Wei shook his head and sent Li Xueyi away. When he came back, he saw the moonlight in the court was like water. He looked up at the bright moon that was about to become full in the sky. He lingered and recited Zhang Jiuling's poem: "The clear moon across the river city, the light flowing thousands of miles away. What I think is like a dream."

Inside, we look at each other in the courtyard. The moss is bright and dewy, the yellow leaves are dull and the wind is blowing. We are speechless with emotion, which frequently makes the sweet-scented osmanthus flowers empty."

A feather-like leaf of bitterness fluttered down. Wang Wei, with quick eyes and quick hands, picked it up between his fingers like a chess piece. He returned to the study room, found "Qujiang Collection", turned to the page "Looking at the Moon on an Autumn Night", and clamped the leaf between his fingers.

In the book, close it and be lost in thought under the lamp——

…

After the banquet at the Zhuangyuan Building, Zhang Yuan accompanied his father to listen to Zen Residence. Yang Shixiang and others stayed at the inn near the Zhuangyuan Building. They still had something to discuss with Zhang Yuan and wanted to stay in Jinling for a few days. Of course, Lu Dayou wanted to

I stayed at Ting Zen House.

Wu Ling first ran back to listen to the news from Zenju. Mu Zhenzhen asked nervously: "Xiao Wu, my master, he——"

Wu Ling knew what Mu Zhenzhen meant and said: "The master is as kind and kind as the young master. I am very happy to see the young master, but -" and then told Xue Tong's recklessness.

Mu Zhenzhen was worried: "Will the master blame the young master?"

Wu Ling said: "It's hard to say."

Mu Zhenzhen asked: "Isn't the young master a little scared?" Mu Zhenzhen remembered that he was afraid that his father would come back and scold him when he did something wrong when he was a child——

Wu Ling said: "The young master is smiling and looking very happy."

…

Zhang Yuan was smiling. What could make him happier than his father's safe arrival? As for his father might scold him for Wang Wei's incident, he didn't care. This was not because he was thick-skinned and indifferent, but because he was mature.

Mind, he is very clear about everything he does, he can be responsible for himself, and being able to be blamed by his father is often a kind of happiness——

Back in Danyuan, Mu Zhenzhen kowtowed to Zhang Ruiyang. Zhang Ruiyang had heard his son Zhang Yuan talk about Mu Jingyan and the situation of Mu Zhenzhen and his daughter. Although he was a little confused about his son sending Mu Jingyan to join the army, he didn't say anything.

, when he saw this tall fallen girl, he was quite surprised by her white skin and blue eyes. After a few warm words of encouragement, he followed his son upstairs to read the letter written by his wife, Lu, to his son, and also read the letter sent by Shang Danran.

Zhang Ruiyang couldn't help but laugh at the two paintings. He didn't find a chance to teach his son until he went to bed. This son gave him too many surprises——

The next day, August 15th, Zhang Yuan was going to take leave to accompany his father, but Zhang Ruiyang insisted that his son go to Guozi to listen to the lecture as usual. Only when Zhang Yuan entered prison did he learn that there would be no classes today, but instead Mid-Autumn Festival money would be distributed.

Each prison student has eight pieces of silk, which are given to the parents of the prison students, as well as one hundred ingots of treasure banknotes. According to the face value, one hundred ingots of treasure banknotes are equivalent to one hundred guan, which seems to be a huge sum of money.

But after Yongle, the Ming Dynasty treasure banknotes were no longer valuable. During the Zhengde period, the one hundred ingot banknotes could not be used consistently. After Jiajing, the Ming Dynasty banknotes were nothing more than waste paper. The imperial court no longer printed new banknotes, and they were not circulated in the market.

, only the Imperial College still has the remaining treasure notes, which are given to the prison students as good looks. Fortunately, the eight pieces of silk are real——

After receiving the banknotes, today is a day off. Many prison students threw away the stack of banknotes as soon as they walked out of the third door. It was too heavy to hold in their hands and too hard to use as toilet paper. However, Zhang Yuan took the stack of banknotes back.

Listening to Zen Ju, Zhang Yuan looked at these things with the eyes of cultural relics, and re-issuing banknotes is also something he will consider in the future——

Zhang Ruiyang was questioning Wu Ling in the small hall downstairs. Lu Dayou stood aside. Naturally, Zhang Ruiyang asked Zhang Yuan what he had done in the past two years. Wu Ling was quite clever and chose nice things to say. Lu Dayou sometimes interjected a few words.

They all praised Zhang Yuan. Zhang Ruiyang was very happy when he heard that. When he saw his son come back with the silk money, he was even happier. Although eight pieces of silk were not worth much, they were given by the imperial court. As parents of supervising children, they also

There is glory——

At this time, Jiao's servant came to invite Zhang Ruiyang on Jiao Hong's order. Zhang Yuan and his son attended the banquet. Zhang Ruiyang felt very honored. Although he was the chief of the secretaries in the Zhou Palace and was in charge of several secretaries, he was still in a low position most of the time.

I often get angry when I'm down, and I associate with some low-level officials. This time I resigned and returned home, feeling relaxed. When I arrived in Jinling, I got the courtesy of Jiao Zhuangyuan. Everyone has vanity. Zhang Ruiyang pretended to be unfazed and calm.

Although he looked like he was actually feeling happy, Ming Laifu prepared a gift and took it to Danyuan——

After having lunch in Danyuan, Zhang Yuan accompanied his father back to Tingchan Residence, only to see two large gift boxes placed in the hall. Mu Zhenzhen said that four official servants brought them to the master, without leaving a name card.

, Zhang Ruiyang wondered: "Who would give me a gift!"

When I opened it, I found twenty-eight peonies from the Eight Immortals of Jin, Fu, and Longevity, as well as six pieces of Western cloth, six pieces of Japanese satin, and Yunsu silk and other local Nanjing rituals——

The Golden Fortune and Longevity Eight Immortals Peony is worth at least five hundred taels of silver if it is made of pure gold. Even if it is gold-plated, it is worth dozens of taels of silver just based on the craftsmanship. And this Western cloth is as thin as a cicada's wing and is brighter than snow. They are all foreign.

Tributes are generally not available in the market. Zhang Ruiyang asked his son: "Who sent this?"

Zhang Yuan thought it was the eunuch Xing Long who sent it, and it couldn't be anyone else. But since Xing Long didn't leave a name post, he replied: "I don't know, I didn't see a name post."

Lai Wang on the side flattered him and said, "It must be that the officials in Nandu admire the name of the chief minister, so they send gifts to show their respect."

Zhang Ruiyang laughed. If he didn't know his stuff, he wouldn't have been able to hang out in the Zhou Palace for so many years. How could he be so arrogant that he thought that Nandu officials would come to curry favor with him, a resigned palace official? He said to Zhang Yuan: "The origin of this gift is unknown.

, I can’t accept it, please check who sent it, whether it was sent by mistake, and return it intact.”

Zhang Yuan responded: "Yes".

At this time, Zhang E came in and said, "Uncle Five, today is the Mid-Autumn Festival. How will Uncle Five celebrate?"

Zhang Ruiyang smiled and said: "I wish I had no wings, otherwise I would fly back to Shanyin." Then he said to Zhang E: "You brothers, go and celebrate the moon with your friends. Don't let my old man ruin your fun. I will let Zhang E."

You originally accompanied me to Jiming Temple to celebrate the occasion, and it was fun to admire the moon at the Buddhist temple."

Zhang E made a funny face to Zhang Yuan and thought to himself: "Meson, it's not that you are unrighteous for your brother, and there is nothing you can do to help. You have to listen to the monks chanting sutras. You can travel to Qinhuai for your brother, admire the moon, and drink flowers."
