Golden winter heart

Hang County Jinnong character Shou men alias Dongxin Mr., the forest people, dragon fairy, Suvaro Ji Suvaro, feel very boring in the morning.

He just came back from visiting tombs in Hangzhou. It cost a sum of money to add soil to the family grave and to order the nephew to repair the old house where the family lived. The gifts from Hangzhou officials were not very rich. Instead, they sent a lot of flower carvings and brasenia, POTS and pans, half of which were full. More than half of the porcelain pot with water shield is West Lake water. Can I always drink Hua Diao wine with water shield and soup? Just kidding!

He returned to Yangzhou yesterday at sunset. As soon as he entered the room and washed his face, Chen Deaf Zi, who had framed his calligraphy and painting and put away his books, told him that Yuan Zicai had returned the ten lamps. It was brought back on a ship from the Plum Blossom Tea Estate. There was a letter attached. In addition, there are ten sets of the Garden Poetry. Kim Dong-shim snorted.

After last autumn, to ask Mr. Dongxin to write and draw not much, he bought two large ink stones, a red silk Bi end, a banana leaf white, hand is a little tight. In the last lunar month, he suddenly thought of an idea: he asked Chen Deaf Zi to use ebony to make ten square lamp shelves, the four sides of which were painted by himself. I thought it was a fancy idea. He knew that his paintings and calligraphy were not very popular in Yangzhou anymore -- there were so many of them that almost every family had them. After the sixth day of the first month, called Chen Deaf Zi took Li Fuxin's ship to Nanjing to find Yuan Zicai, asked him to sell. With the face of Zi CAI, it is not difficult to sell his contacts in Nanjing. He hoped to sell them for fifty-two. At the very least, I could sell it for 20. If nothing else, the ebony light stand alone is worth a twos and twos. Well, no small fix.

Yuan Zicai met Chen Deaf Zi in the Xiaocang Hill room and inquired gallantly about Mr. Dongxin's daily life. He also asked about the recent sensational poems and articles, saying, "The lamp is a good lamp! Poetry, books and paintings are the three wonders. Leave it with me."

Jin Dongxin thought Yuan Zicai would buy silver after the Lantern Festival. Do not want to pass the Qingming Festival, there is no news.

Now, back!

Yuan Mei wrote a very elegant letter: "... Jinling person only eat duck moon Su, light day day, no eye reading painting, can in light that ugly in the shadow? ..." Such a shrewd man! We could get us a record of both of these novels, and let me enjoy them for him, instead of selling me a white lamp. -- vulgar!

At night, I ate a bowl of shredded chicken noodles and went to bed early.

Today, all together, very boring.

After drinking several cups of the newly arrived biluo Chun in Suzhou, he recited the Diamond Sutra twice, and patted down his shoes to look in a small flowerbed. Baozhu camellia open just, smile also have a bone flower. Not much interest, though. He was thinking about the ten orchids. Before he went to Hangzhou, Qu Jia Garden shipped ten POTS of plain heart orchid from Fujian. For a pot of that size, there would be a hundred arrows in each pot! Ask the price of fifty two a pot, not expensive! If Yuan Zicai sold the lamps for him, the ten POTS of gladiolus would be placed on the stone strips under the reed shed in his small flower bed. Who can match such an orchid but Mr. Dongxin? However... He strolled back to his study, spread out Yuan Mei's letter and read it again. He found Yuan Mei's writing very distasteful and chewed through the lines with a hint of sarcasm. He remembered Chen's description of the garden: a few willows, a few rocks, a half-dry pool with a dozen hibiscus trees planted on the edge, grass everywhere, centipedes in the grass... Such a broken garden, will be Jiangning woven grand view garden? Ridiculous! ① He is used to boasting and pretending! He opened and turned a few pages of the Garden Poem, and everywhere relied on others' self-respect, borrowed others' recognition, and boasted about himself. Some poems, still fresh, however, little clever. As this Gong said: "Poetry is too much!" Look at the standard of those a lady, a lady of the poem, are not good. Ha ha, commending Bi Qiufan too! What is Bi Qiufan? - merchant ears! Zheng Banqiao has made a general comment on Yuan Zicai, said he is "gentle running dog", too much points!

He felt a little better -- but still bored.

He called Chen Deaf and asked if there were any short letters these days. Chen held out a stack. Jin Dongxin opened and read a few letters, but they didn't mean anything. He asked, "Are there any more?"

Chen Deaf patted his forehead and said, "Yes! - I almost forgot, I put it in the worship box alone: Cheng Xuemen has an invitation, three days old!" "Cheng Xuemen?"

"Yes, yes, yes! Please accompany the guests."

"Who?"

"The Iron Lord."

"Which iron Lord?

"The newly released Lianghuai salt road iron Baoshan iron adults."

"When?"

"Today! Lunch! Pingshan Hall!"

"What a mess you are! -- Go get the post for me! -- Order a sedan chair! -- You are! -- Go! - ouch!"

Jin Dongxin began to find today interesting.

He waited for the invitation twice. At the third time, Mr. Dongxin changed his clothes and shoes, took a sedan chair and went straight to the Pingshan Hall.

Cheng Xuemen is the No.1 salt merchant in Yangzhou. Today's banquet for the new Salt Road is extraordinary! Sure enough, when Jin Dongxin got off the sedan chair and looked into the Pingshan Hall, he saw all the dignitaries in Yangzhou already there. Fan guide two, river canal transport, local gentry, Qing people, a class. Flowers fill suit, brilliant dazzling; Light clothes slow belt, meaning Xiao idle. Cheng Xuemen has been on the front couch with Tiebaosan to speak, at a glance to see the heart of gold winter came, stood up, Tiebaosan early grab to meet out.

"Mr. Winterheart! Long heard! I've heard so much about it!"

"How dare you! Chen this cloth clothes, happy look rich! The Iron Lord has come from the capital. It's hard work!"

"Please!

"Please! Please!"

Tiebaoshan pulled Jin Dongxin to his seat. Cheng Xuemen said "offend!" To entertain other guests. You see TieBao bashan heeling talked very speculative, naked, and Jin Dong Jin Dong heart nod FuZhang from time to time, I do not know what they talk about, not whispering.

"Snow Gate invited Jin Dongxin to accompany Tiebaoshan today, what a great face!" "I heard Tiebaoshan asked for it by name."

"Jin Dongxin came at this time. It's a big shelf!"

"It seems that the market for his calligraphy and painting will rise!"

A little after dinner, change into the table. In the Pingshan Hall, five tables were spread out like wild wings. In the middle of a table, the first seat is naturally Tiebaoshan. The next seat is the Golden Heart. When Jin Dongxin was meek again and again, Tiebaoshan pressed him down and said, "If you are modest again, it will be difficult for us to sit down!" Jin Dongxin had to obey. Cheng Xuemen was accompanied at the head of the table.

The banquet is very light today. The Lord Iron ate the feast for several days in succession, but he really lost his appetite. When he received the invitation, he said, "Please, I will come! But I only want a bowl of rice gruel, just a dish of sesame oil mixed with silk!" Cheng Xuemen said he would do it. According to the rules of Yangzhou treat, the menu has asked Tiebaoshan over the eye. Cold dish is Jinhua bamboo leaf leg, Ningbo Shurangming granosa, Heilongjiang smoked deer breast, Sichuan Xufu bad eggs, Xinghua drunken clam nose, Dongtai drunk mud snails, Yangcheng Lake drunk crab, bad quail, bad duck tongue, Gaoyou double yellow duck eggs, Jieshou tea mixed with purse purse, wolfberry head cold...... The hot dishes are boiled crab with black vegetables, mashed duck liver stuffed with yam, braised bean curd with crucian brain, braised mushrooms with green legs and roasted goose feet. Turtle only skirts. ð © delighted many customers and € fish without the whole article, only take two pieces of mouth after cheeks garlic at the moment The chariot worm takes only two conpoys. Stir-fried chicken slices stuffed with teeth, chopped mud with flying dragons caught alive in the Greater Khingan Mountains, pigeon egg white. Use civets instead of Suckling pigs for barbecue. The first dish does not use wing lip ginseng and swallow, stewed Yang Fei milk -- the new puffer fish shipped from Jiangyin. When Lord Iron heard of fugu, he said, "It must be fried wilting song! "--" There are two or three branches of peach trees outside bamboo trees, duck prophets in spring water, beach wormwood is short on the ground, and this is precisely when blowfish is about to get on the beach." Yes, yes, yes! The dishes that came with the meal were plain and simple: pan-fried pan moss, pan-fried broccoli, pan-fried pea shoots, pan-fried purple sprout ginger, pan-fried malan head, pan-fried chicken tail -- the tip of young lettuce with only three leaves, pan-roasted yellow bud white... The Iron Lord listened to the menu (he did not look at it) and said, "This is good, 'If you can bite the root of the vegetable, you can do Pepsi.'" He asked Jin Dongxin to look at it, and Mr. Dongxin said, "' A handful of rice to eat, a ladle to drink, 'and you are a poor scholar. There is nothing to eat." Jin Dongxin tasted the unusual light and expensive dishes, and thought of Yuan Zicai, think of his "with the garden food list", think he talked about a few taste of domestic fish, is really a cold look, the mouth can not help but floating a sneer.

After three rounds of wine, Tie Baoshan put forward a drink boring, to do a wine order. The wine order he proposed was called "Flying Red Order". Each person said one or two sentences of ancient poetry, with the characters "flying and red", either embedded or hidden. That's not too harsh. He first said two sentences: "Flowers Xie Hua Fei all over the sky, red incense off who pity?" Someone didn't recognize the source. Next to the person reminded him: "A Dream of Red Mansions!" At this time, "A Dream of Red Mansions" is a popular time, "do not talk about" a dream of Red Mansions ", reading poetry is also in vain ", do not know the source of the timid, hurriedly said: "Oh," a dream of Red Mansions "! A Dream of Red Mansions!" There are also some that say "a flower flying but spring", and some that "peach blossom disorderly fall like red rain". Some can not say, willing to fine wine. Some clearly said, in order to modesty, deliberately said: "my poetry is limited, accept punishment!" Just for fun. At the end of the day, Cheng Xuemen. Cheng Ximen said:

"Willow flocculent flying to patches of red."

Everyone first stunned, then in an uproar: "willow flocculent Fei patches of red, how red catkins?"

"No reason! No reason!"

"Fabrication! No doubt a myth!"

"Fine wine! Fine wine!"

"Full! Full! Drink it! Drink it!"

Cheng Ximen did not know how he could make up such a difficult poem. As he was turning purple and ashamed, he heard Jin Dongxin put down the chopsticks and calmly said, "Don't argue, everybody. Xue Weng has a source for this poem. This is the poem of the Yuan man chanting the Pingshan Hall, used today, just right for the scene." He stood up and recited the whole poem: Twenty-four winds by twenty-four Bridges, leaning over the railing, remembering the old river East.

The setting sun is shining on the peach blossoms,

Willow flocculent flying to patches of red.

Everyone, a listen, all clap: "Good poem!"

"What a 'willow flocculus flying pieces of red'! Wonderful! Wonderful!"

"So sharp, yet reasonable, this must be the poem of Yuan people, neither Tang nor Song!" "Is it Mr. Winterheart? We know little about the poems of the Yuan Dynasty, and we feel ashamed!"

"I didn't expect Cheng Xueweng to be so knowledgeable! Admire! Admire!"

Cheng Xue men laughed, even said: "Too much, too much! -- When the dish is cold, the fugu should be hot!"

So everyone's chopsticks rushed to Yang Fei milk.

Tiebaoshan Nianxu mused: Is this a poem of the Yuan Dynasty?

Jin Dongxin is really a genius! Export into the book, quietly. Come on, and, yes! Have artistic conception...

The next day, early in the morning, Cheng Xuemen sent one thousand silver to Jin Dong Heart. Jin Dongxin asked Chen Deaf Zi to tell Qu Jia Garden to send ten POTS of gladiolus at once. Chen was about to leave when Jin Dongxin stopped him, "Not busy. Take these ten lamps into the side room."

Chen picked up the two lamps, and Jin Dongxin called to him again, "Take this -- away!"

He was referring to the Poems of the Garden piled on the ground.

Chen Deaf-tzu picked up the Poem and went out of his study. He heard Mr. Dongxin scolding him, "Gentle running dog!"

Chen Deaf thought: Who is he scolding?
