Ping An Biography

The place where we agreed to meet the three classmates was the teahouse at the head of Wuding Bridge. Zhang Ning sent his younger sister home first, and then sent Fang Ling back to Fuleyuan. Fuleyuan is on the bank of the Qinhuai River. From here to Wuding Bridge near.After the four met, they went to the Qinhuai River to board a painting boat.Floating in the center of the river, there are scenery, wine and food, and a young lady who sings with wine and music. Moon also has some sentimentality.

Humanity is full of talented scholars and beauties everywhere in Jiangsu and Zhejiang, but Zhang Ning is rarely seen on weekdays. Tonight, I went on a night cruise on the Qinhuai River, and I finally believed it.

In a private room lightly covered by bamboo curtains in Huafang, the four of them drank while listening to the singing of an unknown lady.Among the two candidates, Yang Sihai is very likely to be a Jinshi in the coming year. His talent and learning are well-known in the Gongyuan; but everyone is not well-known in the Fengyue place. Zhang Ning was born on the bank of the Qinhuai River, but it was the first time in his life to sit on this boat.

Although the little lady who sang the song was not very good, but she was young and well-behaved, and she was okay as a foil by the side. Zhang Ning didn't think there was anything wrong with it.Old Cousin Luo thought the scene was too boring, so he purposely said loudly to the girl who sang: "Su Liangchen will come over later, let him give you some advice, maybe the little lady will become famous because of it."

The little girl only sang halfway through the song, and she stood up immediately when she heard this, and said with a surprised face: "Your guest is talking about Su Liangchen, one of the four great talents in Jiangsu and Zhejiang, from 'The Immortal in the Song' and 'Young Master Uninhibited'?!"

"Which other Su Liangchen is there besides him?" Old Cousin Luo pretended to be disapproving, "He is a friend of ours, and he is coming today, but it will be later."

The little girl hurriedly picked up the pipa and said with a face of shame: "I don't know the identity of the distinguished guest. The cultivation of the slave family is too shallow to disturb the hearing, and it is generous to make people laugh. You guys, I will invite the young lady to come over later."

Yang Lin (Sihai) asked seriously: "Master Su will really come? Brother Luo, you can't just talk about people. The famous big name will come in a while, but you can't see anyone. How can we talk?"

Old Cousin Luo laughed and said, "Today I'm having fun with Si Hai, I don't dare to talk nonsense, Mr. Su really wants to come and join us."

Zhang Ning couldn't help but said: "Forgive me for my ignorance, just now I saw that singer heard the name of Mr. Su like a thunderbolt, why have I never heard of it?"

Old Cousin Luo laughed: "Brother Pingan doesn't know, is it strange? The so-called four great talents of Jiangsu and Zhejiang are people who wander in this romantic land and are quite famous for their beautiful words. How do people who have never been to this kind of place know?"

"That's why." Zhang Ning nodded, "With such a great reputation, you must be talented."

Laobiao Luo said: "I don't know about others, but the youngest Su was admitted as a student, and Guibang couldn't pass the exam, and he was a big salt merchant at home, so he didn't have to worry about spending money, so he just went around for a while and didn't take a career. He I said that I don't like the work of writing paperwork, I don't think so... But there is a specialization in the arts, although Brother Sihai and Brother Ping'an are easy to get on the list, I'm afraid they can't compare with Su Laosan in terms of rhythm."

Yang Sihai said frankly: "Of course, I don't know anything about rhythm."

"In this case..." Zhang Ning decisively took out three ten taels of silver bills from his sleeve pocket, gently put them on the table and pushed them forward, "Brother Sihai is going to Beijing, this is a little brother's kindness, let's talk Don't refuse if you don't think it's too light. I thought I would take it out after the banquet was over, but I thought that when Mr. Su came, he would only talk about love and love, and now Brother Sihai put it away."

Yang Sihai was shocked immediately, although scholars have the meaning of making money, but this gift money is too heavy.For example, if a classmate in modern times wants to go out to take the postgraduate entrance examination, you give 2 yuan for no reason, is it too much?

Of course, Zhang Ning is not rich and has no land to spend. He has 90 taels of all his belongings left, and now he will give Yang Sihai 30 taels, and soon Wu Yong, a doctor in the Ministry of Rites in Nanjing, will spend at least 50 taels. , Zhang Ning's own expenses are tight and not enough.The main reason he gave this gift was to apologize for the humiliation of Zhang Ning in the past, but he didn't say it, he just said it was a gift; Take out the heartache and relive it again?

This time, he was wiped out for what Zhang Ninghu had done in the past. He inherited his identity and memory, so he naturally had to make up for his previous mistakes.Is it necessary to treat Yang Sihai like this?Is necessary!

Yang Sihai is actually a very low-key person, but he still can't stop the public opinion that he is the first in talent and learning in Yingtian Gongyuan this year. Then he will be a Jinshi sooner or later. What is the concept of a Jinshi in the Ming Dynasty?First do the six subjects as a teacher or censor, and then enter the national ministry|level|level|level|level|level|level|level of the State|State|State|State Council to take up an important position. If you do not do well, you will be one of the senior officials in the future. If you do well, it is absolutely nothing Arabian Nights.For such a classmate, Zhang Ning has no grudges with him, it's just because of a little conflict between tongues, why should he offend him?And it's not difficult to resolve it, now is an opportunity... Yang Sihai's family seems to be relatively poor, and 30 taels is a timely help.

"Brother Ping An's ceremony is too heavy, I am ashamed to accept it." Yang Sihai declined solemnly.

Old Miao Luo and Miao Liang were also surprised at the side, but they were not too stupid, so they understood Zhang Ning's intention in a flash.Old Cousin Liang tried to smooth things over with a smile and said, "Brother Sihai, you really have to accept this kindness."

"Oh?" Yang Sihai looked at Lao Cousin Luo's smiling face with a serious expression.

"Did I say something wrong?" Luo Lao said without changing his face, "If you insist on wasting your time with a friendship that shouldn't be rejected, wouldn't it be a waste of time? Everyone knows who you are, and you are not a narrow-minded person." .”

The word narrow-minded seems to be a euphemism, but it has already been understood: Only a narrow-minded person still cares about the past nonsense.

"I don't mean that. I really think that the courtesy is too heavy. Hey, since I have talked about this, I feel ashamed." Yang Sihai got up and bowed, and Zhang Ning also got up to return the greeting.

Yang Sihai said sincerely again: "We are familiar with each other on the ground in Nanjing. How can we have such friendship when we go out in the future? Let's remember the friendship, and remember the insignificant things?"

Lao Cousin Luo nodded and said: "The four buddies who are seated again are not only classmates who participated in the provincial examination in the same year, but also from the same township. They should take care of each other from now on."

Old Cousin Liang said: "There are quite a few classmates from the same village, but our friendship depends on our temperament. Some people are really not worth dealing with."

"Brother Liang is talking about that kid Ma Wenchang?" Old Cousin Liang said contemptuously, "This man has read the sage books for nothing, and he is too dirty!"

Zhang Ning echoed casually, wondering if you met me when I entered the classroom, did you speak ill of me?For example, the kid was arrogant and arrogant, and it turned out that he was just cheating, everyone probably said that.

But there's no need to worry about these things. Yang Sihai is said to be as short as he is talented and short, so it's as if he's doing something wrong, so why should he care about it?There are also some rules for making friends in this circle of scholars, and everyone will basically abide by them. When it is time to help, people will not fool around and ruin their reputation evaluation; If you have a strong character, it may be difficult to attack both sides, at least you will do less things that add insult to injury.

After chatting for a while, they suddenly saw a lot of painting boats gathered here, Zhang Ning and the others asked someone, only to find out that Liu Mingyue, a famous chicken from Nanjing, came by boat, so countless nearby tourists who admired Fangze also followed.

"The No. [-] beauty in Shanhefang." Old Cousin Luo said expectantly, "No matter you have tens of millions of dollars, she thinks you are vulgar and contemptible, and she never even sees you in person."

Zhang Ning saw the light boats on the river illuminated like daylight, this battle was serious, and he thought that Liu Mingyue must be dressed like a queen, at least like a modern day queen star; unexpectedly, when Liu Mingyue boarded the boat and saw , only to find that it is completely different from what I imagined.

She was wearing a light yellow blouse, a light-colored long skirt, and only a few pieces of unique and elegant jewelry. There was only a little maid holding a piano next to her. And refined taste.Without too much embellishment, she is really an iconic beauty, her face, body and manners are all likable.

Like Fang Ling, she is unconcerned and looks like a young lady from a rich family.But Liu Mingyue lacked a bit of Fang Ling's tenderness. She looked very noble and indifferent. At first glance, she looked simple and not stressful, but she soon found it difficult to get close; she was also younger, like a teenager.

In any case, she is a j|girl, Zhang Ning thinks that a person with this status has no status in society, how can she think that she will suddenly become noble in this kind of place, and be treated like a mother by a group of men.Cousin Luo bowed and bowed flatteringly: "It's a great honor for the female history to come here!"

Liu Mingyue performed a little courtesy coldly: "I don't know that some young masters are friends of the exiled immortal in the song. I have neglected you all. The little girl apologizes."

Zhang Ning thought in his heart that the elders and the brothers were able to have a beautiful face without squandering their entire family and property, so it turned out that they borrowed the light of Mr. Su.Why is Mr. Su not recorded in the small book of unofficial history, can he be compared with Tang Bohu?Unexpectedly, the face here is so big.

Yang Sihai and Zhang Ning seemed the dullest, probably Brother Yang didn't have any experience in romantic places, so he didn't know what to do at all.Fortunately, Cousin Luo was so skillful that he didn't feel embarrassed.

Liu Mingyue came to accompany her in person, and she didn't know how to serve wine at all. On the contrary, Old Cousin Luo held hands back and forth like a gentleman.She acted like a young lady, and wanted to have a glass of wine with her, but the little girl next to her actually said that the wine here was dirty and told the lady not to drink it.

Zhang Ningxin said: Mahler Gobi, the young lady thinks they are dirty, how embarrassing!
