On the river, more than a dozen large ships slowly moved along the river, the cold wind blowing the sails, and the sailors on board were busy. The destination is Jinling.

In the fleet, there are three ships of sugar, three ships of green salt, three ships of precious medicinal materials, and jadeite, gemstones, famous jade, etc. Priceless. It is estimated at about 300,000 taels of silver. It is enough to cover a year's tax revenue in a prefecture.

The strength of the southwest ticket number Tianshun Express can be seen. The king of money in the southwest is worthy of his name. Monopoly of salt and iron in the national dynasty. However, Tianshunfeng's fleet had a document issued by Qi Chi, the governor of Yunnan and Guizhou, and the road was unimpeded.

In the gorgeous ship in the center, Hu Chi stood in the living room. The attendant brought two teenagers in and knelt down, "Master..."

Kneeling on the two two children who had been re-washed and changed into clean clothes: a young man and a teenager, they were the two people who were playing tricks in Jiujiang Mansion to beg for food. The eyes of the two are clear, dripping and turning, and they are very aura.

Hu Chi turned around, looked at the two children, and said, "When you come to me, you can do things well." You have a bite to eat. ”

The younger brother kowtowed smartly and said, "Thank you, Master for appreciating the meal." "The retinue takes the man out. The clan nephew in the living room said puzzledly: "Fourth uncle, do you want to hook up with Jia Tanhua when you take in these two children?" ”

Hu Chi smiled slightly and said, "We and Jia Tanhua will definitely have a time to meet again." Fourteen-year-old five-grade official! ”

It's been a few hours, and it's not necessarily good. Some people will disappear like meteors, and some people will grow to the sky. Either way, he has the need to make an investment at this time. What if.

…

…

On the afternoon of the 28th day of the 14th year of Yongzhi, Ning Ru, Jia Huan and four Jinyi Wei captains arrived in Shaxi Township, Yongfeng County, Guangxin Prefecture.

After the decree was announced, Jia Huan settled under the arrangement of the Ning family. It was already the end of the year, and the people of the Ning family were busy sacrificing and celebrating the New Year. He can't paint a portrait of Mr. Ning now. Moreover, Ning Ru intended to keep him for a few more days to make up for the hardships of the journey.

Shaxi Township is located 40 miles south of Yongfeng County, and it takes about four hours to walk to it. In the township, the mountains and rivers are beautiful. A small river flows out of the valley in the mountains, winding a few bends, and several natural villages are scattered like pearls along the river. Fertile fields, cottages, paths, cattle, and villagers form a quiet rural picture.

On the morning of the ninth day of the first lunar month, Jia Huan was on a hillside outside the village, looking at the beautiful scenery of the barren countryside in winter.

No matter how beautiful the natural scenery is, you will become accustomed to it if you see it too much. And in the countryside, life is as plain as water. The four Jinyi Guard Captains who came with them were entertained by the Ning family's good wine and meat every day, and sighed: boring.

Jia Huan smiled and shook his head. How prosperous is the capital, and how deserted is this place? But his mind wasn't there. Jiujiang Mansion's disaster relief, I think Governor Liu will not lie to him. When he returned to Jinling, he had to pass through Jiujiang Mansion. I don't know, did Vivi receive his letter now? His mind was filled with her bright face.

Sister Bao's brightness, clear as snow, and a kind of grace of everyone's ladies. And Weiwei's brightness carries a kind of amorous tiredness and the nobility of the nobles. The county lord of Yongqing, who also gave him a sense of amazement, her brightness was like a delicate flower blooming.

When Jia Huan was thinking casually, a servant of the Ning family came over to invite, "Lord Jia, our master is invited." ”

Old Man Ning lived on the west side of the Ning family's compound, and Jia Huan passed through the hall to a beautiful courtyard. A flower and a grass, all are quite stylish. In the cold winter, the plum blossom in the corner of the courtyard blooms, and it blooms alone in the cold.

An old man of nearly seventy years old, with a wrinkled face and a thick blue cloth cotton coat, was lying on his back in a chaise longue covered with thick fur. In the warm living room, two teenagers serve on the side. It seems that the situation is his grandchildren.

Ning Xiang's old dragon bell had indeed reached the point where the oil had run out, and he slowly raised his hand and said, "Jia Ziyu, sit down." I've been neglecting you for the past two days. Today's spirit is good, I bother you to draw a few portraits of the old decay. ”

Jia Huan bowed his hand and said politely: "Don't dare, the boss is serious." Later, I went to get a paintbrush. "When he came to Jiangxi this time, charcoal and other things were prepared. Immediately, under the guidance of the subordinates, he returned to his residence, took a paintbrush, opened the easel, picked up the pen, and painted.

Jia Huan's sketching skills, to say that he can reach the realm of a great painter, is a bit nonsense. Instead, he painted Sister Bao, Sister Lin, Xiangling, and Qingwen, practice makes perfect, much stronger than him in his previous life, and the portraits he drew were very similar.

About two hours later, Jia Huan pushed the drawing board and showed the retouched portrait to Old Man Ning. Ning Xiang smiled with satisfaction, and twisted his beard and said, "Heh, it's really a miraculous skill." No wonder Ru'er asked you to paint a portrait of the old man. ”

"Grandpa," a teenager said urgently. For the New Year, it is very unlucky to talk about life and death.

Ning Xiang smiled kindly, "Okay, okay, I won't say it." I don't say. Then, he said to Jia Huan: "Tanhualang has this magic skill, and after resigning, he is not afraid of running out of food!" "That's a joke. The elderly are like children.

Jia Huan smiled modestly: "The boss praises falsely." It's just, carving insect skills. After the charcoal painting technique spreads, there will be many painters who are better than the next painters. ”

Ning Xiang glanced at Jia Huan in surprise. has a "stunt" but is not arrogant, it is indeed different, and then smiled slightly, and said: "The old man also asks you to stay for a few more days and draw a few portraits of the old lady." ”

Jia Huan nodded and agreed. Even if he wanted to go back to Jinling to see the beautiful woman as soon as possible, everyone had arrived in Jiangxi, and it was natural to stay for a few more days and paint a few more portraits, and he didn't want to refuse the old lady's request.

…

…

However, Jia Huan obviously did not expect the next situation.

During the Spring Festival, visit relatives and friends. In the countryside, all kinds of news spread much faster than usual. After the Lantern Festival, Jia Tanhua preached the consolation of Ning Taishi on behalf of the court, and then it spread throughout Yongfeng County. Later, in Guangxin Mansion, there was an endless stream of readers who came to visit.

Jia Huan's poems can be described as famous in the national dynasty. The fourteen-year-old prodigy is not called "everyone", but several works that have been handed down are enough to establish his status in the literary world. In the twelfth year of Yongzhi, Jiangnan sang Jia Ci, and the grand occasion was unprecedented.

In addition, several of Jia Huan's character paintings were circulated, and the officials and scholars of Guangxin Mansion praised them. Of course, there are not many people who dare to ask for paintings.

First, Jia Huan is a five-grade official, which is almost a sideways officialdom level within the prefecture and county. The prefect is four products, and the county order is seven products.

Second, Jia Huan is the editor-in-chief of Pravda, and he is also a descendant of He Shuo, a scholar of the dynasty, and he also holds the title of Qincha. The power is heavy.

Therefore, without a certain social status, there is no need to open your mouth at all.

In mid-February, Jia Huan painted portraits of the two ministers of Zhishi, and spread them to their children and grandchildren to form a good relationship. Subsequently, in the reading people's spring literary meeting in Guangxin Mansion and Nanchang Mansion, there were several small poems of Qingling spread in Shilin, Jiangxi.

First, occasionally looking for half-opened plums, leaning on a bamboo. Children don't know spring, and ask why the grass is green.

Second, raise chickens and indulge in chicken food, and chicken fat is cooked. The owner is good, and he can't know with the chicken.

Third, I know best if I don't know each other. A generation of authentic talents is weak, and the Wangxi anthology Ruan Ting's poems.

It is recorded in the notes of the time: In the fifteenth year of Yongzhi, Jia Tanhua stopped in Yongfeng County. Hundreds of people came to Shilin. On three poems, the crown is the best in this dynasty. As the saying goes, the ancients don't need to fight when they die, only let the general have the temperament.

The notes of the gossip record that in the fifteenth year of Yongzhi, Huan Yiqin sent a message to comfort Ning Taishi and stayed in Ningfu. The famous prostitute Bai in Nanchang Mansion went. Bai's peach and plum are in their prime, apricot eyes and peach cheeks, and their demeanor is graceful. Said: I am willing to serve Mr. around, for a small maid, enough to comfort my life. Jia Sheng didn't allow it. For a moment, Shilin sighed. Those who admire the Bai family in the house do not know how many.

…

…

At the end of February, it was already the middle of spring. The willows by the river. Jia Huan hurriedly walked through the quiet courtyard and into the room.

Ning Taishi, who was in his last years, was half-lying on a chair and covered with a blanket. Two teenagers next to him served. He smiled weakly and said, "Ziyu is leaving?" ”

Jia Huan nodded and said, "Yes." Late Sheng has already said goodbye to Senior Ning. I have come to bid farewell to the boss. ”

He has already painted more than 20 paintings for seven or eight people in Ningfu, such as the old man, the old lady, all kinds of fateful ladies, and aunts. The number of people varies from person to person.

During this time, every time he finished painting, a scholar would come to visit. After talking, I painted again, and the time was delayed for a month.

The visits of scholars and prostitutes are like spices in life. It is undeniable that it is a very refreshing experience for people to visit, pursue, and even have famous prostitutes willing to post upside down, but after tasting it, it passes.

He has received a handwritten letter from Lin Qianwei from Jinling.

Qian Huai did not find her at Wuding Bridge and Anjie at the end of last year, so he went to the mountain chief's house to deliver a letter and ask for help. It didn't take long to hear from her. It is not difficult for the Nanjing Ministry of Rites to find the whereabouts of the well-known Lin family in the south of the Yangtze River. This letter was sent to Yongfeng County by Zhang Chengjian through the channel of the Jinling briefing.

The letter wrote: The concubine lives in the Xiaomeng Pavilion of the Qinhuai River and trains the girls who sing for Mother Jin. Day and night, I look forward to Jun's return to Jiangnan... Jia Lang's return date should be in the late spring and early summer, and the concubine is waiting in the city. When there's a surprise, it's time to meet it. ”

Jia Huan couldn't guess what the surprise was, but when he saw this letter, he was even more heartfelt. The matter at hand has been dealt with almost completely.

Ning Xiang smiled and nodded, "It's okay." It's been so long to delay Ziyu. It's the fault of old decay. I have something I want to pay Ziyu as payment. However, there is a question for Ziyu in the school first: why study? ”

Jia Huan smiled bitterly in his heart, it seems that the bosses like young people who are going to take the school exam. He didn't care about the remuneration or anything. But since it was an exam question, he didn't answer casually, and groaned. He has a more calm temperament.

At this time, a young man next to him replied loudly: "Grandpa, read the words of the saint and follow the example of the saint." Knowledge, sincerity, self-cultivation, family governance, peace in the world. ”

Another teenager sneered: "Brother Jun'er still reads too well. Scholars, when there is a big will. Establish a heart for heaven and earth, establish a life for the people, continue to learn for the saints, and open peace for all generations. ”

Brother Jun snorted in his nose and said, "Who wouldn't brag about it?" I read for the three immortals. Speech, meritorious service, and morality. What is the answer? Did you do it? ”

Ning Xiang smiled and looked at his two grandchildren lovingly, "Don't make any noise, and listen to Ziyu's answer." Then he looked at Jia Huan.

Jia Huan bowed his hand and said honestly: "Boss, I studied in my later life just to change my situation. ”

Vulgar! The two teenagers immediately looked disdainful. I didn't expect Jia Tanhua, who was touted by Shilin, to be such a virtue.

Ning Xiang smiled weakly, looked very happy, and praised: "Good! He was a scholar of Zaifu University and was at the helm of the imperial court for eight years. He has seen too many excellent young people, and he can see through them at a glance.

And Jia Huan's answer is very straightforward and honest. To say vulgar is also vulgar. This world is so vulgar. Simplicity is a goal that can be realistically achieved.

He heard his eldest son Ning Ru talk about Jia Huan's situation. Jia Huan is a pun. The concubine studied in order to change the situation in the family. Then, if you have to study and take a career as an official, you have to change the situation of Jiafu.

Sending the two grandchildren out, Ning Xiang smiled and said: "Ziyu is young, but she is depressed in her heart!" Drawing pictures of rivers and mountains is the greatest romance for men. Who doesn't aspire to? When you get to the position of Zaifu in the future, you will understand.

My generation of scholars, should ascend to the Son of Heaven Hall. Living in the temple high, he is a herdsman of the Son of Heaven and lives up to his life's aspirations. I heard Ru'er talk about your situation. Seemingly, it's difficult. Do you know how to recover after resigning? ”

This question made Jia Huan stunned. He reacted suddenly. He seems to have made a huge mistake. For a long time, he thought that his business trip to Jiangxi was just a forced public-funded tour, and he had no sense of expectation.

His mind was all on Weiwei in Jinling. Then, wait to return to Beijing and continue the difficult and dangerous court game. However, what did he overlook?

In that year, he was entangled in the middle of the test in his hometown, and he was entangled in whether to leave Jiafu, so he went to Zunhua to ask the mountain chief for advice. The chief told him the solution. So he decided to stay and continue the struggle. So in the eleventh year of Yongzhi, he went to Jiangnan to study.

Then, the current succession, the court struggle, the dislike of the Son of Heaven, the difficulty of his personal future, the internal struggle within the four major families, and so on, even including the road he wants to take. Why didn't he ask the old man in front of him for advice?

It is impossible for the mountain chief to give him answers to the above questions. Because the highest position of the mountain chief is the Nanjing Ministry of Rites. But Mr. Ning, he can. Because, he used to be the foreman of the Minister of Military Aircraft, and he was in charge of the center of the Great Zhou for nearly ten years. How rich is the experience of officialdom? What storms haven't been experienced?

Jia Huan immediately bent down and saluted, and said sincerely: "I sincerely ask the old man for guidance." He decided to ask the former Zaisuke for advice.

Ning Xiang finally couldn't help laughing, "Haha, haha..." Then, his breath calmed down a little and said, "Sure enough, he is a talented and intelligent prodigy." The child can be taught! ”
