The prosperous spring has passed. In the early summer, it had just rained. The vegetation on both sides of the Xincheng River was verdant, and the rising water level submerged the original gravel on both sides of the river. At first glance, it is all green and the scenery is even more enchanting.
Lu Zheng took the shadow, accompanied by Qi Biao, and went to Hengwu Bookstore again.
Standing on the embankment of the Xincheng River, Lu Zheng couldn't see the water of the Lianyan River in the distance. Because the water level rose, all the painting boats on the river came to the shore. The carved beams and painted buildings, the luxurious and beautiful painting boats, obscure people's sight. The beautiful people on the painting boats have not yet awakened from their sleep in the morning mist. The morning here is very peaceful.
"Hey, Xiao Langjun is stunned again. I haven't seen it for a long time. Are you talking about the smell of sister's foot bath again?" The window of the golden painted boat was pushed open, and the familiar little face came out of the curtain again. Exposed in.
This time it was very close, so close that Lu Zheng could see a few tiny freckles on the other's face.
The girl did not become ugly because of this flaw, but made her look more youthful.
Lu Zheng smiled and waved at her: "I'm looking for your painting boat. It's been a long time since I saw my little sister!"
"Hey!" The girl flushed, sipped Lu Zheng fiercely, and said, "My child, I'm going to sell the old, I'm afraid my hair is still not growing! My sister prepared foot wash for you today. Come and let you drink it. Enough!"
The girl withdrew her head into the window, and then a pot of water poured out.
The water splashed on the edge of the embankment, splashing brilliant splashes, and a few drops really splashed on Lu Zheng.
The girl clasped her belly and laughed, she was about to break her waist. Lu Zheng also laughed. Only the face of Ying'er behind Lu Zheng showed a thin face of anger, and the girl used her finger to Lu Zheng Teased:
"Oh, the girl in Xiaolangjun's room is angry. The big girl will know how to be jealous after going to bed. You can go back carefully so that you can't eat it!" The girl said, the dusty girl, her words are unscrupulous, where has Yinger heard of With such explicit words, his face blushed immediately.
She said: "My son, you...you talk to this fox Meizi again, I...I will go back first!"
Lu Zheng waved his hand at the **** the painting boat, and said, "You won! Come and ask for advice another day!"
After Lu Zheng finished speaking, he turned and chased after Ying'er.
Unscrupulous laughter rang like a silver bell on the painting boat.
Lu Zheng hasn't come to Hengwu Bookstore for a long time since he got the full set of Four Books. The key is that the conditions are not allowed. After several disturbances, he can't go out easily.
Yang Shitou, the young fellow of the bookstore, missed him very much. When he saw Lu Zheng, he exaggeratedly said: "Oh, Master Lu, you haven't been here for a long time, and the owner of the shopkeeper often talks about you!"
Lu Zheng gave Qi Biao a color, and Qi Biao raised his hand and threw a few pieces of silver directly to the kid.
Yang Shitou weighed the weight, a full one or two silver, the smile on his face was even brighter, he bent down and said, "Please, please!"
"Is the boss here?" Lu Zheng said.
This time he was here to look for Gu Zhilun, so he straightened up to the point.
"Here! I was studying in the backyard study, and I came early in the morning!"
"If someone else comes, the youngest dare not lead someone there anyway, but Master Lu, you are here, I will take you now!"
Yang Shitou's footsteps were brisk, and Lu Zheng followed him to the backyard of the bookstore, only to realize that there was a strange cave here.
What I saw at this glance is the green bamboo path on both sides, the winding stone path leads directly to a small building along the river, the green bamboo bushes are covered with green moss, and it is even more simple and quiet. It is really a good place.
Lu Zheng left Qi Biao outside, and only took Ying'er and the two pacing along the Yangchang Stone Path.
"Gu Shishu is really elegant!" Lu Zheng said.
Ying'er trimmed her eyebrows and raised her eyebrows slightly. She was also very satisfied with this place. She looked around, looking around, and suddenly "Ah..."
Lu Zheng followed Ying'er's gaze and saw a plaque hanging above the small building, in which he wrote: "Hengwu Zhai" three characters, these three characters are dragon and phoenix dance, the pen is vigorous and elegant, and it is from everyone. Hands.
Gu Zhilun was studying in the study in the small building. Lu Zheng stopped Yang Shitou from reporting. He let Ying'er wait outside and walked slowly into the study.
There are four large rooms in the study room. Gu Zhilun is sitting behind a large rosewood case. On the large case there are ten inkstones and various colored pen holders. The brushes inside the pen holder are as dense as the green bamboo forest outside.
There are blooming rhododendrons in the Ru kiln flower sac of the Dou Da, and there is a large cauldron on the table. Next to the large cauldron, there is a large plate of red sandalwood shelves.
There were bookshelves all around the big case, full of books, and when he stepped in, Lu Zheng was immediately intoxicated by the tranquility here, only feeling that the hustle and bustle was far away, and his heart was stretched.
Gu Zhilun was reading "The Book of Songs", his voice was up and down, shaking his head and shaking his head, the whole person was immersed in the artistic conception of poetry, and he only had to dance with his hands and feet.
After he finished reading a poem, his eyes opened a thin slit. He saw Lu Zheng at a glance, and he couldn't help but: "Ah..." exclaimed. ? Lu Zheng bowed in a respectful manner, saying: "Gu Shishu, uninvited guests come uninvited, a bit abrupt! I didn't expect Shishu to be such an elegant person. There is such an elegant study in the backyard of Hengwu Bookstore. , You deserve to be a book lover, you deserve to be a book reader!"
"Oh, brother Zheng, if you boast any more, there will be no place to put my old face!" Gu Zhilun said, and he immediately greeted the girl for tea.
The girl who served by Gu Zhilun was gentle and amiable, with a good temperament. Yingying offered tea to Lu Zheng and stood behind Gu Zhilun beautifully.
"Brother Zheng, I haven't seen you here for a long time. Could it be that I have been working hard at home during this period of time, preparing for the end of the spring next year?" Gu Zhilun said.
Lu Zheng said: "Uncle Gu, I am ashamed to say that I live in Yangzhou, and I cannot help myself. The most difficult part is that it is difficult to make progress in school. Whenever I think about it, my nephew will be as anxious as on pins and needles, but he is helpless."
Lu Zheng was very anxious, Gu Zhilun smiled faintly, but did not answer the conversation directly, he said:
"Then brother Zheng came over today is something wrong? Brother is with me but it doesn't matter, you call me Uncle Shi, as long as Uncle Shi can help, I am obliged!" Gu Zhilun smiled.
He smiled, but he was wondering in his heart.
As a shrewd businessman, after Gu Zhilun went to Jiangning to find out Lu Zheng's foundation, he returned to Yangzhou, and he asked people to inquire about Lu Zheng's situation.
Judging from various feedbacks, Lu Zheng is in an extremely unfavorable situation. The concubine who is not accommodated by the mistress is sent to the mistress's natal family to live in, and his future can be imagined.
The Lu family in Jiangning and the Zhang family in Yangzhou are all famous families. Although Gu Zhilun is well-known in Yangzhou, how can he compare with a family like the Zhang family?
Originally, he was very optimistic about Lu Zheng, and felt that if he had a good relationship with Lu Zheng, he would surely be rewarded in the future.
But after he got this kind of feedback, he couldn't help but feel cold. Of course, with his scheming and the city mansion, these were all in his heart, and his face would not show the slightest.
Today, when he heard Lu Zheng open the door and said that he was sending someone under the fence, he couldn't help being very vigilant, because listening to Lu Zheng's tone, it seemed that he wanted to ask him!
He even thought to himself: "This kid, I'm afraid it's really desperate. I'm just a fate with him. He even went to the door to ask for help regardless of Tang Tu. Hey, let's see what he wants to say!"
As soon as he thought of this, he had a slight contempt for Lu Zheng in his heart, but his city mansion was extremely deep and he didn't show the slightest on his face.
Lu Zheng smiled slightly, took a sip of the tea without hurriedly, and sipped it carefully, saying: "Uncle Shi, this tea is a good tea. The hair tip of Ming Dynasty has faded away, and it is not touching the fireworks in the world. It smells!"
"Uh..." Gu Zhilun was taken aback for a moment, an embarrassment appeared on his face.
His Maojian was from last year. He didn't want to take out this year's new tea. There is a saying that new tea is getting hot in Jiangning, but it is better to drink Maojian tea.
Lu Zheng's words were very tactful, and it sounded as if he really likes to drink this class of tea, but in Gu Zhilun's ears, his face couldn't help but feel a little awkward.
Lu Zheng didn't seem to care about the change in his expression. He waved at Ying'er outside, and Ying'er came in with a small wooden box.
Lu Zheng said: "Uncle Shi, my nephew brought something here today to invite you to have a look. Would you like to take a look first?"
Yinger opened the wooden box, and inside it was neatly placed the manuscripts of "Journey to the West". The manuscripts were all recorded in Yinger's lower case script based on Lu Zheng's storytelling. The box that I took today is just a small one. Part of it.
Gu Zhilun took the manuscript suspiciously and squinted at it carefully.
The word is good at first sight, and then read the content of the book:
"Since Pangu opened up the world, the world has been divided into four continents..."
Gu Zhilun read only two or three hundred words, and his eyes could no longer move away. He suddenly raised his head to look at Lu Zheng and said, "Brother Zheng, this...is this the manuscript of "Journey to the West" you said?"
Lu Zheng took a sip of tea slowly, and said, "Uncle Shi, take a look again. I will also read a book with you."
Gu Zhilun said: "Brother Zheng, don't be polite. You can read all the books I have here, you can read them!"
Nuo Da’s study suddenly became quiet. Gu Zhilun devoted himself to the manuscript given by Lu Zheng, and Lu Zheng also stood up and paced, took down the "Xinde Dictionary" and began to check the recent reading encounters one by one. Uncommon words to arrive.
He hadn't come to the bookshop for almost half a month. Lu Zheng used a self-made quill pen to write down the rare words that Lu Zheng had accumulated from reading at home every day. He found these rare words one by one, figured out the meaning, and marked the pronunciation of the words according to the cut sounds. This was also a very energy-consuming process.
Lu Zheng and Gu Zhilun have their own concerns. The atmosphere in the study is really peculiar. Gu Zhilun's inner world is extremely complicated.
