You don't have to go to a high-end restaurant to drink to drown your sorrows. γγDrink loneliness and sorrow.
Jia Huan and Pang Ze went out of Guozijian and found a clean small hotel in a street shop by the big stone bridge to have a drink.
Outside the hotel, a meandering river flows quietly in the early spring afternoon sun. Pedestrians walked through stone bridges, rivers, and streets.
The hotel's junior two served the dishes: cut cooked mutton, boiled pork bones, and self-brewed grain wine. Pang Ze sighed, "Alas...", he poured a glass of wine and drank it first.
Jia Huan didn't speak, grabbed the chopsticks and chewed the mutton slowly. He hadn't figured out what was going on yet. But as a friend, he is willing to be a listener at this time.
In Guozijian, Zhang Anbo talked to Wen Xijiu, Song Siye and others, and prepared to return home. A group of several people came out of the Taixue Gate of Guozijian, passed by the stele forest, and went to Jixian Gate.
Zhang Anbo looked around, saw that his eldest son, Master Tian and three or four long-term followers were followed by him, and asked, "Where is Shiyuan?" β
Zhang Chengjian said: "Shiyuan asked Ziyu's opinion. β
Zhang Anbo sighed softly, "Alas..., I mean I don't recommend him to go to Yangzhou." "He is a generous man and does not force his disciples to obey his opinions.
In the small hotel next to the big stone bridge, Pang Zelian drank a few glasses of wine, a little drunk, and his ugly face was flushed with wine, and said: "Ziyu, Sha Futai sent a letter, inviting me to Yangzhou to help him counsel the machine." What do you think of me going to Yangzhou? β
Shafutai is now the Huaiyang Governor Sha Sheng, stationed in Yangzhou, the governor of Huai, Yang, Lu, Feng four prefectures, the prime minister to rectify the salt law. γγ
Jia Huan looked at Pang Ze with a slight surprise. Not surprised that Pang Ze received the invitation. With Pang Ze's ability and level, it is enough to serve as the governor's counselor. In the tenth year of Yongzhi, wasn't the mountain chief the governor of Shuntian? He was surprised that Pang Ze was so tempted.
After thinking about it, Jia Huan pondered and said, "From my point of view, I don't recommend you to go. Scholars judge success or failure by merit and fame. Shiyuan, even if you have Wang Zuozhi's talent, you can't get on the stage of the temple without fame. So how do you fulfill your ambitions? β
The reality is so cruel. If you don't take the Jinshi exam, you have no future at all if you become an official in other ways. Unless it's a strong backstage. Although the dynasty was not like the pre-Ming period, civil politics prevailed. But so is the climate.
The world has been peaceful for a long time, and the civilian clique is gradually gaining the upper hand and suppressing the Xungui clique. And in the heyday of the civil officials of the Ming Dynasty, they could even suppress the imperial power. The Son of Heaven and the scholars share the world not for fun.
Pang Ze lowered his head and smiled bitterly, took a sip of the wine glass, and said melancholy: "The mountain chief said the same thing. But I want to go to Yangzhou! β
Jia Huan was puzzled: "Why is this?" Next year is the year of the township exam, you are now studying quietly, and with the education level of the mountain chief, it is enough to win the laurel list. β
Pang Ze shook his head and sighed, "How easy is that! With the strength of our academy, the essence is exhausted, and it is also you, Gongsun Long, and Luo Junzi. Oh, and add Gidexin. Visible difficulty. My ability to manage affairs can be ranked in the top three in the academy, but the level of reading may not be ranked in the top ten. β
Jia Huan fell silent. When it comes to reading, the elites in the academy are indeed headed by him, Senior Brother, and Luo Junzi. But reading and doing things are two different things. Doing things and being an official are two different things.
The atmosphere became a little silent. The two drank silently. During this period, five or six young men dressed as scholars went to the small shop to drink, and they were in high spirits and talked loudly. Fortunately, Jia Huan and Pang Ze asked for the seat by the window, although they could hear them, they would not be disturbed.
During this period, Pang Ze drank five or six glasses of wine. After all, he took advantage of the alcohol to say the things that were pressed in his heart in front of his friends, "Ziyu, I want to marry Bai Fu as my wife." β
This brainless and cold sentence made Jia Huan startled and looked at Pang Ze in surprise.
In these days, the name of a woman from a good family will never be told to a man other than a relative. And knowing the woman's name, it is basically a deep relationship. The point is, Pang Ze, this kid often visits the Qinglou!
Although the famous prostitute is good, she is proficient in piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, and she is quite interesting. But no scholar would marry a famous prostitute. It's going to ruin your reputation. They are all married concubines. If Pang Ze marries a famous prostitute, it will really ruin his life.
Jia Huan suppressed the shock in his heart and asked softly, "Whose little lady is it?" β
A gentle smile appeared on Pang Zechou's face, and with a sense of nostalgia, he said: "Bai Fu's family is a clansman of Zhang Jingwei, the imperial history of Nanjing's left capital. Both parents died. After her husband died, she returned home and lived in her eldest brother's house. Her eldest sister-in-law is a snob, and she doesn't want to marry Bai Fu to me. β
"Whew...."Jia Huan breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, he would not watch his friend ruin his life. Now when I heard that it was a widow, I was immediately relieved. She took a sip of wine and said with a smile: "What does her sister-in-law disagree with about the marriage of a man and a woman?" β
The Gangnam area has an open atmosphere. A widow who keeps a feast may have, but she may not keep it. Remarriage is not uncommon. Holiday-keeping widows are generally divided into two types according to their social status. First, it is a family like Jiafu. This is the face of the family, and it is not allowed to remarry.
Second, it is the persecution of the deceased husband's family. Because the widow observes the festival, the court commends it, and the He clan will be exempted from servitude. This is attractive to farmers. Usually it is a village of people who persecute a weak woman. There's a profit drive here.
In terms of individual circumstances, there are also many categories. For example: a widow who has children. Like Jia Huan's sister-in-law Li Kun is such a type. There are elements of glory and wealth, such as You's. After Jia Zhen's death, with the superior living environment of Jiafu, it is impossible for her to remarry. There are personal emotional factors, such as Daiyu's aunt Aunt Pei.
It's more like Lin Ruhai's three-room concubine, who returns to her parents with her property and then marries. Just like Pang Ze's lover Zhang Baifu. Of course, the widow's remarriage is certainly not as popular as the first marriage. But the woman who had a rich dowry said otherwise.
Pang Ze showed a painful expression on his face, and said aggrievedly: "She thinks I'm a poor talent." So, I want to go to Shafutai to do something. β
Jia Huan smiled dumbly. It can be regarded as the reason for understanding Pang Ze's choice. It's a bit of a rush!
The social status of the staff and students of the Nanjing Ministry of Rites is not bad. However, the Sixth Department of Nanjing is basically a pension yamen, with limited power. It is not the same as that of the governor who holds great power. Zhang Zongxian, the leading figure of the Zhang family, is not as important as Mr. Sha in the imperial court.
Pang Ze probably wanted to come back in the future and pretend to be a force, subduing the woman of the Zhang family, raising his eyebrows, and hugging the beauty. After all, waiting for the results of the township test next fall, one is too long, and the second is that there is a lot of uncertainty.
Seeing Jia Huan laughing, Pang Ze said dissatisfiedly: "Ziyu, you laugh at me too?" What about a widow? In my life, I will not marry a white husband. In his impression, Jia Huan is very calm. Therefore, he was willing to reveal a deeper reason to Jia Huan.
The smile on the corner of Jia Huan's mouth slowly expanded, and said, "I'm laughing at you for having love, and your IQ has declined." Where does this matter need to be solved by going around to Mr. Sha? What is the situation of Mrs. Zhang's eldest brother? β
"Ying Tianfu pushes the official (Zheng Qipin)."
"What about the eldest sister-in-law's house?"
"Deputy General Manager of the Nanjing Garrison Division."
Jia Huan couldn't help but smile slightly, "It turned out to be the daughter of a military general, no wonder you and her couldn't tell me clearly." β
Seeing Jia Huan's appearance of Zhizhu in his hand, Pang Ze felt hopeful in his heart, and said: "Ziyu, don't look at all the officials and generals, but they are all local powerful factions, and they also have the name of Zhang Zongxian..."
Jia Huan smiled and picked up the wine jug to pour wine for Pang Ze, "The method is four words: coercion and temptation." I only asked Shi Yuan, is it not the Zhang family's wife who doesn't marry? β
Yishan Chang has just arrived, and he is an extremely noble official of the Ministry of Rites, even if he is a high-ranking official of the third grade, he will definitely not be able to suppress the Zhang family. In addition, it is estimated that Pang Ze did not go to tell the mountain chief about this. The mountain chiefs come and go are all Confucians, and there may not be no way. It's just a matter of a little trouble and a few favors.
I guess it's a widow, he can't say it.
However, Jia Huan comes from later generations, and there will be no discrimination against women who marry for the second time. In the future, there will be a special divorce to buy a house. I didn't see anyone say anything.
And the fact that the mountain chief can't hold it down doesn't mean that he can't hold it down. Don't forget, how many years did the Jia family live in Jinling? Even if it is a declining noble family, it is not easy to get a few officials and generals? is the four words Jia Huan said: coercion and temptation.
Pang Ze nodded vigorously, "Yes!" β
Jia Huan raised his glass, touched a glass with him, and said with a smile: "That's okay." I'll take care of it for you. Keep you doing what you want. Anyway, how did you and Mrs. Zhang meet? How did it develop? Jia Huan is indeed a little curious, just like when he was in school, he was curious about the love history of his classmates.
Pang Ze listened to Jia Huan's words, and was overjoyed, and stood up with a "ho". The things that had plagued him for a Spring Festival were simply solved. With Jia Huan's temperament, what he says must be sure. He was convinced of this. Just listening to Jia Huan inquire about the details again, he suddenly had a somewhat impressive and twisted expression on his ugly face, and said with difficulty: "Chance encounter." Encounter. β
Seeing Pang Ze's expression, Jia Huanle laughed, "It's okay not to say it." Three glasses of wine. β
"That's still a drink!" Seeing that Jia Huan didn't get to the bottom of it, Pang Ze breathed a sigh of relief, laughed himself, poured wine happily, and drank three glasses in a row. With his friendship with Jia Huan, naturally there is no need to say a word of thanks. The depressed mood became extremely excited. (To be continued.) )
