Xu Hao and Qingwen waited outside the noodle restaurant for a group of celebrities to eat, and then went to play together.

I saw that Wu Zhen ordered a pound of sorghum wine to run the hall, ordered four hot dishes, and gave five bowls of noodles for one dollar and two cents, while the people outside added six more points of noodles each, and there was no wine and food.

There is a pergola outside, so Xu Hao is not in a hurry, he bought the sour plum soup in the well of the town of Da Niang opposite, and sat down and drank it, the cool feeling was refreshing.

Qingwen pays great attention to maintenance, she doesn't dare to drink too cold drinks, and she observes the eating appearance of celebrities and gentlemen from time to time, which seems to make her quite disappointed.

Seeing this, Xu Hao smiled and said: "Just like the two of us, we are here to eat noodles at noon, who will pretend to be elegant here, drink and chat?"

Qingwen smiled at this and said nothing, and the people who ran to the hall asked each person what toppings they liked to eat, and after a while, those people were drinking hot wine, and they were happy to eat noodles with a bowl of dried shredded noodles scalded with broth.

When he was about to finish eating, the family who had been trained before led a man to run over, and the two approached Wu Zhen's side, and the family Ding said, "Young master, he is a messenger from Shangyuan County." The little one returned home and took the master's name card, and went to the county office, and the county immediately sent someone to follow the little one to the small Dongmen wharf, and the boat was sealed ready, waiting for the young master to get on the boat. ”

Wu Zhen nodded with satisfaction, and smiled at the messenger: "If you are tired, you accompany him to eat noodles, and you will be rewarded with a tea or two when you turn around."

At this time, a friend wiped his mouth and said, "Since the boat has been found, why should we just sit on the boat today?" That gentleman is accompanied by his family, but we are very lonely and tasteless, why don't you invite Brother Wu's noble acquaintance out to play?"

Wu Zhen said: "He can't speak, and it's even more boring to bring a dumb person on the boat." The younger brother heard that there is a new sister in the Jade Building in Tianning Mountain outside the city, named Yuexiang, who is excellent in color and art, why don't we call her to the boat to pay respects?"

The celebrities laughed happily and said, "That's wonderful." When the boat gets out of the water gate and arrives at the Tianning Mountain Wharf, let's go ashore together to invite her. ”

Listening to their conversation and laughter, Qingwen turned her head to look at Xu Hao, and saw that Xu Hao's face was very disappointed, so she got up and didn't even say hello, and left directly.

On the way, Qingwen asked, "Aren't celebrities and celebrities so entertaining nowadays?" Why should you be disappointed?"

"Addicted to men and women, just a bunch of mediocre people." Xu Hao said.

Back in the house, the steward reported that Mu Hui had returned to Beijing with his family, Xu Hao became happy and said, "Invite him to the study, invite all the masters too, and prepare a banquet tonight."

Jieshoutang, Xu Yu hid in the room and looked outside, Xu Qinglian, Xu Bitao and others went out first, and when they saw Xu Luzhu, the sisters greeted each other and came in hand in hand.

Mu Ningxue, Xiao Yushi, Xu Yunsu, Xu Xiangyu and other women in a room all stood up, and it was needless to say that there was a lively scene.

It is only said that Xu Yu secretly observed his aunt's two daughters, and Mu Hui and his wife have been outside all these years, and they have forgotten what their cousin looks like.

The older one is Mu Caichun, who was born with a goose egg face, a slightly plump figure, two bent silkworm eyebrows painted green, born with a pair of smiling eyes, white complexion, and looks like her aunt Xu Luzhu.

Seeing her smiling generously and talking to her wife, Xiao asked her age and said that she was fifteen years old.

Look at that one again, his figure is even more petite than Zhu Mingzhi, and his slender waist doesn't seem to be in his hand, standing there as if a gust of wind can blow it down.

The bottom of the skirt reveals three or four inches of peach-colored trouser corners, a pair of snow-white embroidered shoes, wearing a lake-colored satin white trimmed palace dress, which can be described as a weak waist like a willow, full of greasy, a pink and white melon seed face, and a cute red lips, really like a cherry.

At first sight, it was impressive, not at all like a Jinling girl, but like an authentic Suzhou and Hangzhou girl, Xu Yu couldn't help but be surprised: "How do you know that there is a woman besides Sister Mingzhi?"

Looking like that, he was probably no more than fourteen or fifteen years old, so he couldn't help but walk out. Suddenly stood up again, it turned out that he had heard that this sister named Mu Lingxia was the most temperamental, the eldest brother came back from Hanwangzhou, and went to Quanzhou to visit Mu Hui and his wife, she even wanted to avoid the eldest brother who was the eldest son of the Guogong Mansion, not to mention what am I?

Therefore, Xu Yu dispelled his thoughts, and said in his heart that Hengzhu would live in our house for a while, and sooner or later he would have to meet, no hurry, as long as I was careful, everyone would be familiar with it after a long time.

I don't want Xu Luzhu to ask, "What about Yu'er?" Call and meet you. ”

Xiao Shi smiled: "It's inside, monkey, come out quickly."

"Yes." Xu Yu had no choice but to walk out with his head down.

"Yo!" Xu Luzhu took a closer look, his eyes lit up, Xu Yu was the third brother of the year, and he couldn't help but step forward and hugged his nephew.

"Hello aunt." Xu Yu blushed and wanted to break free, and said, "Two sisters, you have worked hard all the way."

Mu Lingxia, who was naturally weak, immediately blushed, but Mu Caichun responded with a smile: "It's nothing."

Xu Luzhu, who was holding his nephew, kept asking this and that, Xu Yu replied while asking how old Mu Caichun was?

Mu Caichun sat next to Xiao Shi and said, "It's sixteen after my birthday."

"What about my sister?" Xu Yu went to ask Mu Lingxia again, so much so that Mu Lingxia lowered her head and blushed and couldn't come back, Mu Caichun said on behalf of her sister: "Fifteen years old."

Mu Caichun turned around and asked, "How old is Brother Yu?"

Xu Yu said embarrassedly: "Don't ask me, I'm ashamed to say it."

Xu Yunyu, who was on the side, sneered and said, "Even this is polite? God, I can't hear it. ”

Xu Yu said with a smile: "I don't fall into clichés, because I have always been most afraid of hearing people call me brother."

"Why is that?" Mu Caichun was curious.

Everyone in the family knows Xu Yu's heart disease, and they are afraid that as soon as they grow up and become relatives, they will change everything in an instant, because recently they even took people to call him brother, as if they were going to grow up.

Xu Yunyu said it as a joke, and everyone laughed when they heard it. Xu Yu laughed with him, seeing that Mu Lingxia didn't talk to him and refused to laugh, he sat quietly next to his wife, feeling regretful in his heart, but he didn't dare to tease her.

At this time, Xu Xuan and Xu Xuan ran in with a smile to greet the elders, Xu Yu found that Mu Lingxia frowned, and was a little unhappy, so he took the initiative to pull the two brothers out.

In the afternoon, Mu Lanxiang invited Mu Caichun and Mu Lingxia sisters to go to Xixiangxuan, the room had been cleaned up, and Mu Lanxiang chatted with her for a while, and she had something to go out.

Leaving Xiao Binglan to accompany the sisters, Xiao Binglan said how interesting our house is, how many gardens at home, how fun, usually the girls in Yisu Garden read, write, make music and play the piano There are many people, and they never get tired of playing every day.

He also said that there are many people who like to write poetry, and there are several large and small poetry clubs. Speaking of this, Mu Lingxia finally became happy, and asked shyly, "May I ask whose poems are good here?"

Xiao Binglan didn't change her tomboy personality, she was naïve and didn't like to write poems, and said: "The first is Sister Ming, and the second is about Yunning, Sister Lanxiang and Sister Yunyu Zhu are between them, it seems that everyone is about the same, and Yunsu and I are the worst." By the way, except for Sister Ming and Yun Ning, even if the second brother's poetry is good. ”

Mu Lingxia asked, "Who is Sister Ming?"

"Princess Deqing."

Xiao Binglan explained Zhu Mingzhi's details again, and suddenly smiled: "In a few days, I will probably have to call them sisters-in-law." This time, you finally returned to Beijing, and probably your wife will keep you until the second brother becomes a parent, and then she will let you go back. ”

The embarrassing topic of getting married, Mu Lingxia blushed and listened silently. Mu Caichun said with a smile: "Your second brother's poetry collection, I have read it, although there are many poems, but there are few good sentences."

Mu Ling Xia laughed out loud when she said this, and Xiao Binglan exclaimed: "So, the poems of the two sisters must be good?" I think I also have a book of poems, can you lend it to me?"

Mu Caichun smiled: "Mine is not very good, but I can't see it." It's still my sister's good poem, I'll show you Ming'er. ”

Xiao Binglan couldn't wait, and immediately asked Mu Lingxia to recite a few songs to her, but Mu Lingxia modestly said that it was not good, and she refused to say whether she was alive or dead. Because everyone was not familiar with the first meeting, Xiao Binglan had no choice but to give up.

After a while, someone came to the room and called them to dinner, and the three girls straightened their clothes and went out.

Chun Yan, who stayed in the house, walked to the guest room and asked the maid Tuan'er who was packing her luggage, "What your young lady said just now, are you really a poet?"

Tuan'er raised her head and said with a smile: "Our young lady is also funny, she always says that she is inferior to others in all aspects, and she is extremely humble, but she can't hide it in a few lines of poetry." Let's just say that those new poems written by Hanlin in Beijing, as soon as she arrived in Quanzhou, she would pick up the pen to sharpen, and she would send over any proud sentences.

The third lord of your mansion spoiled her, and every time she sent it to the palace, so that the palace often had some rewards, so the pen, ink, paper, and inkstone she used were all given by the Holy Emperor, in fact, I didn't see anything good when I saw it. ”

This matter is true, just last year, Xu Hao suddenly received a poem from Mu Hui, and he was very proud of his youngest daughter's talent, so he directly forwarded it to Qianqing Palace.

There are many talented women around Xu Hao, so he didn't take it seriously, and he didn't talk about it to the children, anyway, Mu Hui's family will return to Beijing to report on their work this year.

Chunyan said jokingly: "According to what you say, isn't your poetry talent a higher level than your young lady?"

"Not really." Tuan'er smiled and explained, "You don't know, why did the third master send the girl's poems to the palace?" It's not because her poems are all in the style of a pavilion, and it's just a collection of flowery rhetoric. ”

"Oh, I see." Chunyan suddenly understood.

The so-called Taiwan Pavilion is also known as the "Pavilion", which has been mainly formed by the Cabinet and the Hanlin Academy in recent years, and is a literary creation style represented by Yang Shiqi, Yang Rong and Yang Pu.

Now is a time of peace and prosperity, so the poetry of the literati began to pursue grace and elegance. There has never been a shortage of these works in history that whitewashed the peace and sang praises for the emperor, just like the official articles of later generations.

Most of these works are detached from social life, lack practical life experience, most of the content is relatively poor, the vocabulary is ornate but often vulgar, and there are few truly excellent works.

It has been good since the Hongxi Dynasty, but the more it came later, the more lifeless it became, and the later comments were even worse than the influence of the "Xikun style" in the Song Dynasty.

All in all, the Taige style catered to the imperial ruling class, closely integrated with the ideology of the imperial court, that is, Cheng Zhu Lixue, and expressed the "elegant and peaceful" style of the country and the people since the Hongxi Dynasty, and had a strong Taoist atmosphere.

Xu Hao doesn't know about this at all, and even if he understands, he won't resist it, because this is inevitable, do you want to oppose the mainstream literati to cultivate sentiments, pursue "righteousness of temperament", and express the feelings of "loving relatives and loyal monarchs, and blaming yourself for mourning"?

The mainstream literati are also the official gentry class, they have not worried about food and clothing since they were born, they only know how to read all their lives, and they are masters all their lives, so don't expect them to be full of concern for the lives of the lower class people, most of these Taige literati admire the literary style of the literati of the Song Dynasty.

Why are the poems of Tang Bohu and others respected by the world? It shows that the common people of the Ming Dynasty were not interested in official articles. The development of the Taige body in the middle of the Ming Dynasty gradually produced some changes on its own. An example is Xu Hui Xu Youzhen, who was ridiculed because of the ups and downs in his career, and his life feelings expressed in his Taige style poems are more complicated than those of Sanyang.

The famous Li Dongyang is known as the leader of the Chaling Poetry School, when he presided over the mainstream poetry of the Taiwan Pavilion as a cabinet minister, although the style of writing was still roughly within the scope of the Taiwan Cabinet style, but he discussed poetry, one is to emphasize the patriarchal Du Fu, and the other is to pay more attention to the art of poetry than his predecessors, and once proposed that "Song poetry is deep, but go to Tang Yuan; Yuan poetry is shallow, but it is close to the Tang Dynasty", expressing dissatisfaction with Song poetry.

In history, in the middle and late Ming Dynasty, due to the weakening of national strength, the ring of strong enemies, and the collapse of society, the imitation of the same style of Taige, its sluggish literary style was naturally intolerable to the times, and gradually withdrew from the literary world under the impact of various genres.

Historically, during the Hongzhi and Zhengde periods, the literary genres of the first seven sons appeared, and the representative figures were Li Mengyang, He Jingming, Xu Zhenqing, Bian Gong, Kang Hai, Wang Jiusi, and Wang Tingxiang. There are also seven sons such as Li Panlong and Wang Shizhen who appeared during the Jiajing and Longqing periods.

The first seven sons were all jinshi, and they were extremely dissatisfied with the corruption and weak morale of the government, and strongly opposed the popular Taige style of eight habits. His literary proposition was summarized by later generations as vigorously advocating that "literature must be Qin and Han, and poetry must be prosperous in the Tang Dynasty."

It aims to point out a new way for poetry to save the sluggish poetic style.

The first seven sons all had a strong historical mission of transforming the literary style, but embarked on an old road of retro innovation.

After the rise of the first seven sons in the literary world, his retro ideas immediately became popular all over the world, becoming the mainstream of literary thought at that time, and setting off a literary retro movement, which has a certain progressive significance in the literary history of the Ming Dynasty.

This is very similar to the Renaissance movement in medieval Europe, but unfortunately due to party disputes and various natural and man-made disasters, the climate could not be formed.

I don't know if under the comprehensive influence of Xu Hao's butterfly, the next seven sons can set off a vigorous literary retro movement, and whether it will make the Ming Dynasty regain the spirit of the Han and Tang Dynasties!
