Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    Needless to say, the three girls were extremely happy when the sisters reunited. Others were also happy for them.  Xu Hao laughed, and immediately ordered several banquet tables to be prepared, and simply sent someone to fetch Zhang Lianyi, Mu Lanxiang, the Zhu sisters, etc.  During the discussion at the banquet, everyone realized that Mu Lingxia was actually Gu Meixian¡¯s clan sister, and they all happily congratulated her.  This incident quickly spread to Xu Mansion, and it became a favorite story in the whole family.  The next day, Mrs. Xiao sent someone to pick up Zhu Mingzhi and Gu Meixian and inquired about the details of the sisters' reunion. The ladies of each house took turns hosting a banquet for the sisters to celebrate. To put it bluntly, they took the opportunity to liven things up.  Xu Yu seemed very enthusiastic, citing this as the first adventure he had ever encountered in his life.  In addition to being happy for Zhu Mingzhi, he also regretted that he should not have rashly speculated that Gu Yinglian was dead the year before last, which made Mr. Sheng heartbroken and sick for less than half a year.  Fortunately, Mr. Sheng did not die of illness. If someone died, wouldn't he have to compensate Gu Yinglian for Mr. Sheng? In short, it made him itchy. He wanted to write a letter to tell Mr. Sheng the good news immediately, but he also thought that everything has to be fate.  , it was he who first lost his conscience and married a good wife. Later, when he learned that Gu Yinglian had died in a foreign land, he searched around for her with a sense of guilt, but in fact, she had already been abandoned.  What¡¯s the use of telling him that Gu Yinglian is not dead now? Is it possible to take the Hou Ye¡¯s daughter as a concubine? It will only increase worries. If you know it, you will be upset, but if you don¡¯t know, it will be over, so there is no need to tell him.  After thinking about it, I put the matter aside.  Besides, Mr. Sheng guessed from Xu Yu¡¯s tone that Ying Lian was really dead, and he had been ill for several months.  Last year, I was admitted to the Hanlin Academy in the Department of Poetry. Every time I think of Ying Lian, I feel sad and compose poems and lyrics to commemorate her.  His wife, Mrs. Leng, was not only virtuous but also had the wisdom to see into the world. She knew that her husband would never forget Gu Yinglian. Firstly, the things he couldn't get were always the best. Secondly, he only wanted to remember Gu Yinglian's appearance and talents. There was no need.  Argue with a dead man and choose to endure.  On this day, Mr. Sheng thought of Gu Yinglian again and ran to the bank of the Qinhuai River to burn incense and pay homage. Because he was too upset to write an article, he asked his friend Zhu Hao to write it for him.  "The wife Zhu Hao married that year when he returned to his hometown unfortunately died of illness. This year he married a new Mrs. Ru. Both of them committed the so-called sin of being unfaithful. The two nerds can be said to have the same problem.  So you wrote a parallel essay for me, and I will write one for you. While missing the beautiful woman, she cried and sang wildly on the bank of the Qinhuai River. As a result, half of Jinling was shocked. Everyone said that these two talented men were infatuated and turned into fools.  .  This matter was reported by the imperial censor. In the name of being unruly, the officials punished him and ordered him to return to his hometown and spend two years in isolation.  Originally, Mr. Sheng and Zhu Hao were planning to take part in the imperial examination next year, but this was delayed.  Xu Jue was very dissatisfied when he learned about it. Xu Youzhen at this age was still very impulsive. She went crazy in the Imperial College and said that when the world is recruiting people, these pedantic old officials ruined the future of two good people for no reason, so why should I take the test?  ?What kind of official do you want to be? He actually wrote a memorial to his relatives all night long and asked someone to send it to the Ministry of Personnel.  It happened that Mr. Sheng and Zhu Hao also applied for leave, and the officials approved it. The three of them thanked them and came out, stroking their hands and laughing in front of the Yamen, saying that from now on, the three of us brothers will put loyalty first and can go back to our hometown to travel freely.  In April, the day before the three of them were preparing to leave with their families, they met to talk poetry and drink on the Qinhuai River.  When he was half drunk, Xu Jue pulled off the scholar's towel on his head, threw it on the deck, stepped on it, and then threw it into the water. He said disdainfully: "From now on, there will be no need for this trouble." Half-drunk  Mr. Sheng and Zhu Hao laughed loudly, and the three of them continued to drink. Xu Jue became more and more dissolute, standing on the bow of the boat and looking up to the sky, laughing, as if the three of them were the only happy and unrestrained people in the whole world, and everyone else was there.  He looked like a mediocre ant in the mortal world, but in fact he had already regretted it endlessly.  Suddenly Xu Jue wiped his eyes, pointed to the shore and said, "Look, there are so many people over there." Mr. Sheng and Xu Jue walked over and looked, and sure enough, the whole street on the shore was crowded with people.  What was he looking at? He ordered the boatman to pull the boat over, and saw what seemed to be a big wedding. A pair of deacons passed by in front of him.  ??????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????OUT??????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????? We watched for a while, and saw a green cloth dragon and phoenix colored carriage carried by eight people slowly approaching. It looked like there was no one inside, so I knew it was there to welcome the bride.  Then another group of deacons walked over, and another group of fans, Longfeng Caiyu, came over, but no one was sitting there either.  Because the three of them were frustrated in their official careers, they spent their time wandering around the mountains and rivers of Jinling and were unwilling to provoke Xu Yu and other friends, so they knew nothing about the news in the city.  "Strange!" Xu Jue said.  It looked like there was still a deacon in the back, a goose-yellow caiyu, and no one was sitting inside. It seemed that the whole team was together. The three of them couldn't understand it. I wonder if they were here to welcome the bride? They were confused and waited for the caiyu to pass by.  , saw two eunuchs walking over holding a pair of yellow cards, which said that the marriage was completed by decree, followed by four imperial pavilions.  The three of them understood this situation somewhat.  Looking back again, I saw a group of guards with bright armor supporting a group of people.The person sitting on the bloody horse was none other than Xu Yu.  The three of them laughed at the same time, and saw that Xu Yu was wearing a lucky suit today, with a large red bead hanging on his left shoulder. He looked shy, glanced over, smiled at Mr. Sheng, blushed and lowered his head.  Behind him were dozens of good horses, and a group of high-spirited young men from rich families sat behind him.  Mr. Sheng said with a smile: "It's interesting. Marrying four beauties together is really the most joyful thing in life." "It's too damnable. For such a big happy event, we won't even come to invite us to have a wedding drink." Xu Jue said dissatisfied  .  Zhu Hao said: "Let's thank guests behind closed doors. Who can blame us?" Mr. Sheng smiled and said: "Let's continue to find a place to drink. When we get drunk, we can break in and have a wedding at night, okay?" "Okay!" Xu Jue said with a smile.  Applause.  The three of them paid the money and went ashore. They found a tavern and saw the sign saying "Wonderful than Lou". Zhu Hao smiled and Xu Jue said: "Okay, this is a good name. Nothing is as good as having a cup in hand."  "I went up to the second floor and chose a seat by the window. The bartender came up and asked, "You three gentlemen, what kind of wine would you like?" Xu Jue imitated the Shandong accent and said, "I want to drink Shaodaozi."  Mr. Sheng and Zhu Hao laughed and said, "Why do you want to learn Liangshanbury's huatou?" "Haha." Xu Jue laughed, and the bartender also found it funny.  "Liang Shanbo and Zhu Yingtai" is praised by later generations as one of the four great love stories among Han people. The other three are "The Legend of the White Snake", "Meng Jiangnu Crying at the Great Wall" and "The Cowherd and the Weaver Girl". Among them, "The Legend of Liang Zhu" is the most popular in China.  The eternal legend of charming love has been circulating among the people for more than a thousand years since the Western Jin Dynasty.  In the early Tang Dynasty, "Ten Paths and Four Fans" recorded: "The righteous wife Zhu Yingtai was buried in the same grave as Liang Shanbo." Until the Song Dynasty, "Xian Chun Piling Chronicles" recorded: "Zhu Yingtai's reading place, no.'  "Bixian'an". There is a poem saying: "Butterflies are flying all over the garden, and there is a reading circle in the sky." It is said that the girl in the English version turned into a butterfly when she was young. "The story of Liang Zhu was also spread abroad.  The earliest relevant records discovered belong to Goryeo.  But what really made it a well-known love legend came from the novelists who flourished in the Ming Dynasty.  "Liang Shanbo and Zhu Yingtai" is the same as the four famous works. The author drew on various versions of stories that have been circulated among the people for a long time, compiled and artistically reprocessed them.  It¡¯s not to say that before Journey to the West was born, there was no story about Sun Monkey, there was no Liangshan hero, and there was no Taoyuan Three Brothers.  "Liang Zhu" alone, nowadays there are Shangyu version, Hangzhou version, Yixing version, Weishan and other versions among the people.  The relatively complete story was formed in the Tang Dynasty. It began to be sung by artists in the Song Dynasty. It was created into a folk art in the Yuan Dynasty and spread more widely. It was then included in "Ancient and Modern Novels" by Ming Dynasty novelists such as Feng Menglong.  Mr. Sheng said to the smiling bartender: "Three pots of old wine." "What should you order to go with the wine?" the bartender asked.  Xu Jue said: "I just saw a few baskets of shrimps outside. The drunken shrimps will keep you alive." The bartender asked again: "What other dishes do you want?" Mr. Sheng said: "We don't need anything else, so just eat the drunken shrimps."  Bring it Duoduo, and three plates of bamboo shoots, best eaten with wine." "Okay!" The bartender turned around and ran down. He quickly came up with three pots of old wine, filled it for the guests, and ran downstairs again, this time holding it.  A bowl of vegetables was brought up. The fresh shrimps in it were so lively that they were specially covered with a big bowl.  The half-drunk Xu Jue reached out and opened the bowl, and dozens of prawns jumped out instantly, all over the table.  Mr. Sheng smiled and ran away, but Xu Jue had already caught one and put it in his mouth to chew, and then caught another and ate it, letting the shrimps jump around.  He picked up the wine pot with one hand and fished for shrimps in the basin with the other hand, letting the shrimps jump all over the table and the floor.  The Drunken Shrimp was not only served with wine, but also with chopped green onion, coriander and other condiments. Zhu Hao had no time to dodge, and a lot of soy sauce foam was splashed on his face and body. He stood in the distance and cursed: "The officials said you are a bit wanton, you are a mean guy,  How can there be such a way to eat it?" Xu Jue smiled and said nothing, and suddenly hit the drunken shrimp in his hand. Zhu Hao dodged it and hit Mr. Sheng in the face.  Mr. Sheng was taken aback, and then he laughed and cursed: "It's too late, even the shrimps dared to rebel." He called the bartender and asked him to sweep up all the shrimps on the table and floor. When he saw that there was not a single shrimp left in the basin,  The wine jug was also empty.  "Hurry up and add wine and food." Zhu Hao shouted.  Unexpectedly, Xu Jue banged the table, stood up and said, "I've finished my drink and let's go." Zhu Hao didn't know that he was in a bad mood, so he pushed the person down forcibly, laughing and scolding: "Are you trying to commit suicide? Like,  You are like an evil spirit. After a meal, you are about to leave. If you accidentally bump into the real evil spirit, you will be caught and eaten as a drunken shrimp." "Good scolding!" Mr. Sheng laughed so hard that his waist bent.  When you see this, you willHe got up and refused to leave.  They ordered new food and drinks, and the three of them chatted while eating, and in the blink of an eye they drank another pot of old wine.  Xu Jue wanted to ask for more wine, but Mr. Sheng said hurriedly: "You can't eat it. If you eat any more, you'll be really drunk. If you go back to Xu Mansion, you'll be hated by others." "Forget it." Xu Jue nodded, seeing that it was getting late.  Now, I want to go to Xu Mansion.  As soon as he stood up, he suddenly saw that everyone in the room was in chaos and ran out one after another. Xu Yue thought it was something and hurriedly looked out the window. It turned out that Xu Yu's wedding team had returned.  The line of people welcoming the bride could not be seen to the end. Xu Jue had no intention of watching, so he turned around and urged: "Come on, let's go there now." "There's no rush." ??Mr. Sheng remained motionless, "It's useless to go now, we still have to pay homage.  "Xu Jue said: "Let's walk over. We've probably finished our prayers when we arrive, otherwise Brother Xu will complain about us being rude." Mr. Sheng thought about it immediately and didn't sit down when he came out.  He didn't bring a servant or buy any gifts in his sedan chair, he just went straight to the Xu Mansion empty-handed.  After walking for a long time, the housekeeper of the Xu Mansion said that the handover was a ceremony, so the three of them went to congratulate Xu Hao first, and Xu Hao smiled and said a few polite words.  The three of them congratulated the men of the Xu family one by one. Xu Ye, who had been busy all day, had no time to spare and hurriedly invited the three of them into the garden to take a look at the new house.  (To be continued)
