Chapter 23 Untitled

After leaving Jinhua Guard Thousand Houses, Chen Wen lost his interest in talking nonsense with Cao Conglong and hurried to a house in the east of the city.

This house is hidden deep in the alley east of the city, and it is very quiet. The servants and servants in the house are dressed and dressed, and there is no difference between them and other wealthy families. So few people in Jinhua Mansion know that the family members of important people living here are Wang Jiang's mother, wife and Wang Yi's daughter.

Even those servants, in addition to the ones they brought from Dalan Mountain and Tiantai Mountain, were also reliable candidates specially found by Chen Wen and Sun Yu. Several of the gatekeepers were veterans from Nantangying, who were responsible for protecting their safety.

After entering the house, Chen Wen went straight to the house where Wang Jiang's mother and wife lived. The news that Wang Jiang was captured and surrendered to the Qing Dynasty came. Somehow Wang Jiang's mother learned that he was sick. After seeing this, the doctor only said that it was a heart disease, but his heart disease still needed medical treatment. Wang Jiang could not come back. Sooner or later, this heart disease would turn into a serious disease, and even his life would be killed.

In history, it seems that it was because Wang Jiang's mother was captured and Wang Jiang was forced to surrender to the Qing Dynasty that his mother died of depression. Now Wang Jiang's mother has not been captured, but Wang Jiang has been captured. Whenever Chen Wen thinks of this, he feels that the four words "Impermanence in the world is not false.

When he saw Wang Jiang's mother, the old lady was still sick and exchanged some casual greetings. Chen Wen took out Wang Jiang's handbook and handed it to his mother.

Although Wang Jiang's mother only read "The Instructions of Women", "Inner Training", "The Analects of Confucius" and other textbooks that teach women how to become good wives and mothers when she was in the boudoir, she was also very literate. She reached out to take the handwriting written by Wang Jiang to Chen Wen. At first, Wang Jiang's mother saw that it was her own child's handwriting, and tears immediately poured into her eyes. However, after reading it carefully, she soon became furious. She whispered "rebellious son" and she really scared her daughter-in-law who stood beside her.

After Wang Jiang's mother finished reading it completely, she raised her head and was about to ask Chen Wen where the letter came from, but Chen Wen said: "I will recommend that Lao Fengjun read it again. Just look at the second one, and look at the last line from left to right."

Wang Jiang's mother looked at Chen Wen with confusion, then placed the other two pictures aside, picked up the second one and read it out word by word. However, the sound was only for her to hear it personally.

"No, I, I will not, surrender."

This way, Wang Jiang's mother immediately reacted, and tears poured out of her eyes again, but this time, tears of relief were instantly infected with her daughter-in-law and Chen Wen.

The texts of this era are written from right to left and from top to bottom, while Chen Wen's past Chinese characters are written from left to right. This huge difference makes him very uncomfortable when he just arrived at the beginning of this era. It is only because he cannot deviate from the times that he forced himself to get used to the habits of this era. However, it is extremely difficult for other people in this era.

The reason why Wang Jiang’s handwritten books are like this is because when Chen Wen and Wang Jiang were in Tiantai Mountain, they always had something to do. They were not very busy and had time to sit together and chat. In this kind of boring situation, Chen Wen occasionally mentioned that once writing from left to right would not touch the sleeves...

"I have compared the previous texts of Governor Wang. The Governor Wang has a simple character and has never been very big. It has never happened that the five elements are written on a piece of paper like this. The distance between characters is so large. Therefore, when I look at it, I have been careful, and as expected."

Seeing that Wang Jiang's mother had already understood the meaning, Chen Wen continued, "I will have some thoughts and ask Lao Fengjun to agree."

Hearing Chen Wen's words, Wang Jiang's mother quickly got up, but the gesture of salute was stopped by Chen Wen before it even started. She had to sit down again and said, "The dog son is incompetent and he is worried about Marshal Chen. If there is anything that old man can do, just speak and follow everything."

After receiving the approval of Wang Jiang's mother, Chen Wen explained the plan in detail with Wang Jiang's mother and wife. Wang Jiang's mother could still accept it. However, Wang Jiang's wife did not understand the meaning because she did not see the content of the letter. She just looked at her mother-in-law and Chen Wen in confusion, but did not ask rashly according to the rules of women in this era.

Wang Jiang's wife doesn't understand it doesn't matter now, because Wang Jiang's mother will definitely explain it to her after Chen Wen left. After solving this matter, Chen Wen's mood, which was quite unhappy this day, became more relaxed. Wang Jiang will definitely try to escape from the Qing Dynasty's controlled area as in history, and will definitely continue to fight against the Qing Dynasty.

Chen Wen firmly believes in this!

With a hard-won mood, Chen Wen returned to the camp. Some time ago, he sent someone to Lanxi County to invite the talented man Li Xianlu, who was praised by the scholars of Jinhua Prefecture, to come out to serve the Ming army, but the person who went to invite him to bring back the news that Li Xianlu had already gone to Hangzhou.

I thought that this guy was like Zhu Zhixi who would rather act as a lackey for the Qing Dynasty. Chen Wen, who failed to seek talent, was furious immediately. However, the person sent came to breathe heavily. After saying that Li Xianlu went to Hangzhou, he remembered that this person had actually been to Hangzhou as early as the fourth year of Yongli.

And there is even more amazing news. Li Xianlu was the name of this person before the Qing army headed south. After the Qing army headed south, he changed his name and name. Now he is called Li Yu and his name is Li Weng...

Li Yu is a very famous writer, dramatist, drama theorist, and aesthetician in Chinese history. He is very influential even internationally. He has many reputations such as "the founder of Chinese drama theory", "the master of world comedy", and "Shakespeare in the East".

He has reviewed the Three Kingdoms and adapted it to the Jin Ping Mei. His works include famous drama scripts such as "Kite Mistake" and "Scented Companion". The classic health science book "Lan You Send" and "Suitable Love" and the famous ************* "******" are even more well-known to future generations.

Moreover, as far as Chen Wen knows, Li Yu has made achievements in gardens and water conservancy, but it is only covered by his brilliance in drama.

Sun Yu and Zhou Jingting have good eyesight, and this person is worthy of recruitment. The problem is that Hangzhou is still in the hands of the Qing army, and he has almost no chance to recover there in the past or two years. How to get Li Yu back is a very big problem.

According to the person sent by Chen Wen, he learned from a relative of Li Yu that Li Yu had not been very happy in Hangzhou during this period, and "selling vocations to keep his mouth shut." It can even be said that he has become the first full-time writer in Chinese history to make a living by "coded words".

So Chen Wen sent someone to give him some ceremonial money anonymously, and at the same time wrote a text for him to give him guidance, intending to use this line to get on.

Yi Jin was nothing. When writing that article, considering that Li Yu's book "The Fragrance Companion" should have been written in the past two years. I planned to write a text imitating "Brokeback Mountain", but for fear of being misunderstood by Li Yu, I copied the plot of "Titanic". I just changed the iceberg from England to the United States to the iceberg from Fujian to Japan, while the noble girl Ruth and the poor painter Jack became the paintings of the lady Zhen Huan and the poor scholar Bai Zi, and even the sketches became poems.

After waiting for more than a month, Li Yu's reply was delivered yesterday, but the content of the reply was vulgar text. In terms of the plot, the lady with her mother to the barbarian country in Japan was unreasonable, and it was unreasonable that the ice was so heavy on the water. In the end, there was a boat passing by to rescue the surviving Zhen Huan and sent her back to her hometown without selling her as a slave like other maritime merchants, which was even more unreasonable, so it was recommended to rewrite it.

After reading this reply, Chen Wen couldn't help but curse. He was not just trying to recruit talents, so he wasted time writing this without thinking about black technology that would be more beneficial to war. Now that he finished writing an article, he left such an evaluation. He was so angry.

So Chen Wen threw the letter aside, and today he happened to be in a good mood, so he planned to change his mind and not debate with Li Yu whether the plot is reasonable. Instead, while telling him why Bing floated on the water, he set the background of the times before and after the change of Yashan...

When Chen Wen started writing hard, it was already night. In Jinhua City, the Zhou family and his family had already completed the move. Under the care of the servants at home, the courtyard and room were cleaned and moved in one after another.

In a small courtyard near the back home garden, a girl in the house was holding a book in her boudoir and reading it for many years, but was wrapped in a book that was afraid of being damaged by good paper. At this moment, she was even lazy and leaning on the edge of the step bed and reading it carefully.

At first glance, I saw the woman wearing white clothes and decorated with Su embroidered cold plums, as if she was written by a famous artist. A bracelet of Hetian white jade on her wrist mixed with her skin. I don’t know where it is better than snow-white jade, and where it is a simple hand. Perhaps at home, the woman had a bare face without makeup, but it was like the wind blowing on the jade tree. The snow wrapped in jade buds, and the vulgarity and disgust were removed under the eternal beauty. Just look closely, only those eyes were a little too clear, as if they could see others’ hearts.

The woman looked at it for a while, and then she stood up slowly until the sound of someone walking outside the door and gently placed the book on the dressing table. As expected, someone knocked on her door immediately. After the person outside the door was allowed to enter, it was Zhou Jingting and his wife.

"Your brother said that I would have a good rest, but I wanted to move and disturb my younger sister."

"Sister-in-law is saying what are you talking about?"

Zhou Jingting's wife has been pregnant for a long time and is now showing her pregnancy. She gently sat on the chair brought by the Zhou girl, and couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, as if she had accomplished such a great feat.

Zhou Jingting turned to his sister when he saw his wife sitting down. However, when he saw the books on the dressing table for the first time, he couldn't help feeling a little unhappy. At least in his opinion, he, the young girl, was over the age of Double Ten, and was still unwilling to get married. It was obvious that she had read too much books and was bewitched by those heretics that many good marriages were pushed and almost became an old girl who could not get married.

Seeing the familiar cover at this moment, I naturally felt that it was particularly annoying. However, his little sister has always been smart and well-behaved, and even if she is angry, Zhou Jingting is unwilling to spread it to her. But when she thinks in her heart that the author of the book was executed by the Ming court, she is even more relieved.

Seeing that Zhou Jingting showed some displeasure, the Zhou sister put the booklet into the drawer and then began to change the topic. "Brother, I saw that Shen Dashang today. It's really a very human being. My brother really has a keen eye to recognize heroes."

Hearing this, Zhou Jingting smiled and shook his head. The change of topic was a trick he used by his sister, so how could he not know. But since Chen Wen was mentioned, he was very satisfied. This commander was very different from an ordinary general. He had almost endless work every day, and even during the rest time, he seemed to be thinking about how to act. He really didn't know what kind of belief support this person had in his heart that he worked so hard.

At least in his opinion, this is a real person who does things. Only such a person can lead everyone to expel the Tartars and restore the Han family.

But at this moment, I heard the little sister of the Zhou family say with some concern: "But, my sister thinks that this Marshal Chen may not be as simple as he shows. The one hidden under the painted skin may be extremely dangerous. It is better for my brother to be careful when he gets along with him on weekdays."

It is a monster when things come out of common sense. This kind of thinking is normal. Not only the younger sister of the Zhou family, but even Zhou Jingting feels the same way, but he has never mentioned it to others. Now that he is said by his sister who has only seen Chen Wen once, this worry is immediately contagious.

"Is this why, little sister, you must return to the city to live?"

Seeing that her sister-in-law asked this, the little sister-in-law knew very well that her sister-in-law was pregnant and was very unhappy with the bumpy and fatigue of the journey. She was only taken by her brother but never had any attacks. Now that she was talking about her, she said bluntly and understood.

"It's not all. The reason why my sister asked our family to return to the Fucheng was because Marshal Chen was requisitioning deserted fields, and sooner or later this Jinhua Mansion would be in chaos. When things came to an end, the countryside would be less safe than the Fucheng."

Hearing this, Zhou Jingting's wife immediately stood up and asked, "Then your brother..."

"Sister-in-law, don't worry. All the soldiers under General Chen are tigers and wolves, and even the Tartars are no match for them. Can a few rural tyrants still make a fuss out of the sky? Unless..."

When she married into the Zhou family, she heard her husband say that her sister-in-law was very smart and very accurate in learning from people. The last time she left the city in advance to avoid disaster was an example. If it weren't for leaving the city at that time, the Qing army would have set fire everywhere to prevent the enemy from helping the enemy when they evacuated. After hearing the first half of the sentence, Zhou Jingting's wife finally felt a little relieved, but the second half of the sentence made her feel anxious again.

"Unless what?"

"It's nothing, maybe it's just that my little sister is thinking a little bit." After that, the little sister of the Zhou family hesitated for a moment, and then asked Zhou Jingting: "Brother, I remember you said that this Marshal Chen had lived in the home of the Grand Tutor Sun. The two had a very harmonious relationship. Is there any such thing?"

"yes."

"Then, the family of Magistrate Sun lives in the back house of the government office as usual?"

“That’s right.”
