When I returned to Beijing a few months later to reunite with Sheng Hong's family, someone once asked Ming Lan He Hongwen what kind of person?
Minglan thought for a long time and replied: good man.
The He family belongs to a famous family. The old lady of the He family founded Baishitan College. He was the forerunner of scholars in the world. The leader has been clear for decades. Now the descendants are not as prosperous as their ancestors, but they are also rich and wealthy. The old lady He married It was a member of the He family. Her third son died young, leaving only He Hongwen as a son, which was very much favored by her grandparents.
He Hongwen has studied medicine since she was a little girl. Soon after sailing, she cooked herbal tea for Minglan to soothe the spleen and stomach. The taste is bitter but the effect is good. Minglan feels great after only one dose, but she believes in self-cultivation. Resistance is the kingly way, so he refused to drink any more, and embarrassed to refute the other's kindness, and only secretly discarded the matter.
One day, He Hongwen came to visit Minglan and asked casually: "Can you serve the herbal tea that Shi Cai sent?"
Ming Lan looked sternly: "Just finished drinking." Who knows, at this moment, Xiao Tao came in from outside with the cup, saying, "Don't worry, girl, no one will see..." Xiao Tao saw He Hongwen, halfway The words stopped abruptly.
Ming Lan followed He Hongwen’s gaze. There were still a few touches of cyan concoction on the white porcelain lotus floating pattern. He Hongwen quietly turned her head and looked at Ming Lan. Lan Qiang endured a guilty heart and calmly said: "Little Tao, why did you wash a cup for so long?" Xiao Tao was dazed, only saying: "The cup...it's hard to wash."
Minglan laughed dryly on the scalp, dodges and dared not look at He Hongwen, and said: "Haha, it's hard to wash, it's hard to wash."
He Hongwen smiled if nothing happened, "Everything on board is not as convenient as on land."
Ming Lan..., Dan Orange, who was by the side, didn't have that thick face, turned his head away.
The next day, He Hongwen sent a double large bowl of herbal tea. Minglan bravely raised the bowl in front of He Hongwen, sipped the hay tea in one gulp, and then put the empty bowl at the bottom. Gao Gaoliang inspects the goods for He Hongwen.
He Hongwen smiled and nodded, as if the head teacher praised the pupil who had just finished copying.
Strictly speaking, He Hongwen was Minglan’s first foreigner who really came into contact with them. Their grandmother had been a confidant for a long time, hiding in the cabin to make up for decades, under the care of a group of old ladies and little maids, Ming Lan and He Hongwen actually met several times.
When the ancient boys and girls met at the beginning, the topic started like this as usual: "What books have Xiao Ming read?"
Ming Lan was familiar with the passage of "Lin Daiyu Entering Jia Mansion" in the high school textbook, but the teacher asked to memorize it, so she answered according to Jia's classic standard, and covered her sleeves and said implicitly: "But recognize a few words, Don't do the blindness."
After answering, I feel like everyone is a lady.
He Hongwen raised his eyebrows and couldn't say anything. He just turned his eyes to the right and fixedly looked at the pile of rice paper used for calligraphy on the book case. The ink was stained, obviously he wrote a lot, Minglan was embarrassed. , Supplementary answer: "I just read "Nu Ze" and "The Classic of Filial Piety"."
He Hongwen still didn't speak, and turned his eyes to the left. There were a few old books piled up and down on the bookshelf. The cover was wide open. The medical divination, astrology, astronomy, and geography were all Minglan begging Changbaihe. A free book from Changdong.
Ming Lan was caught again, and forced to laugh a few times: "...This is what my brother in the family asked me to take and give it to my cousin."
He Hongwen understood very well, and smiled and said: "Brother Ling really dabbled in extensive knowledge."
Ming Lan twitched the corners of her mouth, and laughed dryly—Oh God, brother Changbai who only reads the original book, brother Changsong who only reads the account book, and brother Changwu who fainted at the word , Forgive her!
He Hongwen’s most kind-hearted place, even if Ming Lan was exposed on the spot, he was able to pretend to be silly and nod in a sincere manner, and he was very convinced of all the bad excuses Ming Lan made; when people are so on the road, Ming Lan does not If you are ready to pretend, you will treat others with sincerity.
When I approached Jinling, the air was getting warmer. When Minglan walked back north to Dengzhou last time, I was short of breath and was at the bottom of life. I didn’t have leisure to appreciate the scenery. Now I don’t have a mood, I only saw the coastal scenery becoming more refined. Gentle, Minglan sat by the window watching the scenery along the coast and the busy sampan freight. He Hongwen had seen it back and forth many times before, so he smiled and gave instructions.
"Big white bird, toucan,...sack boat!" Minglan pointed blankly, her words very poor.
He Hongwen explained with a smile: "That's a cormorant, the best at fishing;...that's a sand gull..., no, that's a grain boat..."
Minglan is cheerful and playful, He Hongwen is restrained and steady, and the two get along very well.
"...My mother wants me to be an official in the imperial examination, but I am helpless, and only like to play with the herbal needle book." He Hongwen said with a face.
"Brother He despised himself. Reading the sages and sages, it is only to assist Mingjun Kuangfu Shiji, the next is the Guangzong Yaozuze and his descendants, but the return to the clan, the practice of medicine and the world can benefit the people Guangyao. The father of his grandmother, What kind of medical ethics back then, when I was young, I went to the epidemic area to save my life, and when I was older, I took charge of the hospital order and issued the medicinal order. How admired the world!" Ming Lan is very sincere, and a doctor is really a noble profession. , Said that the income is very high.
He Hongwen's eyes lit up, and Yan Yan looked at the girl opposite with a smile.
"My father died young and my mother was weak. I can't study and go to school according to my mother's wishes. It's really unfilial." He Hongwen's melancholy gauze enveloped the autumn.
Minglan stretched out a pair of tender white hands with pinholes visible on them: "I never liked embroidery. My grandmother invited several masters to teach me. Now the butterflies I embroider are still like flies. Unfilial."
He Hongwen smiled and said: "My younger sister is still young, she will always get better if she practiced slowly. My cousin Jin'er is the best at embroidering, which is also practiced every day." Minglan touched her finger and asked casually. : "Oh? She also lives in Jinling?"
He Hongwen's expression is dim: "No... a few years ago, her father was convicted of the'Xiaoliangshan Mine Case' and the whole family was exiled to Liangzhou."
Minglan stopped talking. A few years ago, the Xiaoliangshan mine collapsed and more than a hundred miners died. Unexpectedly, the mine owners colluded with local officials and withheld their pensions. Instead, they locked up the orphans and widows of the dead men. Popular anger arose, causing chaos.
The emperor learned that his anger was half-dead. He actually knew that this was just the aftermath of a struggle for reserve, but he could only punish some of the chief and evil officials. The accomplices were all held up high and put down gently, so they were involved. Not many officials went in, and I didn't expect his cousin's house to be one of the few cannon fodder.
"...Well, since it is an exile, it is estimated that the crime is not serious, and all the serious sins have been beheaded; isn't there an amnesty for the world, your cousin can always come back." Minglan can only comfort. The new emperor will be amnesty when he is enthroned. As long as it is not heinous, in general, exiles can be forgiven. For example, everyone knows that the old emperor’s days are counted.
He Hongwen was very grateful for Minglan's kindness, and after a while, he said: "The uncle was also at fault back then. It is not wrong to have been punished, but it would be a good thing to be pardoned." He paused, and said: "I have my own snow mussel paste, so I wipe my hands with Sister Xiaoming. I can't do needlework with my fingers in winter, so applying it can invigorate blood and relax menstruation."
The young man's speech is gentle, his eyes are kind, just like in the late autumn when the coolness begins, the last light golden sunlight slowly climbs up Minglan's face, Minglan's face is a little hot.
The ship lasted for another five or six days, and finally berthed. There were a lot of people dressed as servants standing on the dock, all of them stretched their necks and looked here, half of them were Sheng Wei to pick up Minglan and his party. When I went to Youyang, the other half looked sad, and came to pick up the old lady He who went straight to Jinling's mother's home to see a serious illness.
Old Mrs. He held Mrs. Sheng’s hand and spoke for a long time before letting go. He Hongwen said to Minglan, “Sister Ming must be careful of her body. She is the most susceptible to illness. After I go back, take a good rest for a few days before going to play."
Minglan nodded vigorously.
Sheng Wei and his eldest son, Chang Song, came to pick up the boat. It was the first time that Ming Lan saw this brother in the lobby. He saw his dark complexion, thick eyebrows and big eyes, his voice was bright, and his spirit was broad, very similar to Changwusheng. When he saw Ming Lan, he smiled and said: "This is the sixth cousin Ming Lan. My father has been talking about you in front of my sister Pin Lan. In the past few years, she has been clamoring to see you!"
"Sister Ming hasn’t been to Youyang, right? That’s a good place. Our Sheng family’s old house and ancestral hall are all there. You can get to Jinling in an hour’s carriage. I’ll take you and Pinlan out to go shopping. Go shopping."
"There are too many high-ranking officials and nobles in Jinling. Our businessman's house does not take part in the excitement. It is better to stay in our hometown. The place is beautiful and beautiful. Doesn't Sister Ming like fishing? I will bring you fishing gear and dozens of miles of fish ponds. You can hit it even with a fishing rod!"
"The mountains and forests in autumn are the most beautiful. Before the winter, my sister has to go and see the maple trees in the mountains. They are not the same as the ones in the capital. They are not so expensive, and there are many wild ones."...
It was sunny and warm that day, and the autumn breeze was refreshing. Even sitting in the sedan chair, I didn’t feel bored. Sheng Wei and Mrs. Sheng were talking, while brother Chang Song rode a horse outside the Minglan sedan chair to relieve his boredom. Minglan has the joy of children going on an outing.
Although the Sheng family's surname is Sheng, it was originally not Sheng at all, but there was some leftovers; it was not until the old man Sheng seized the opportunity to change the dynasty to make a fortune and became rich. He got on a few high officials and followed the line of collusion between officials and businessmen. , Built an ancestral temple, built an ancestral hall, and built a large mansion in his hometown, Youyang. Anyone who comes from a business background likes to take the cultural route. The first thing the old lady did after she got married was to hire a young lady from a declining scholarly official and **** as his wife and have three sons.
The boss inherited the family business but was greedy and lustful. He became obsessed with a concubine from a singer's background. He made a farce about doting his concubine and annihilating his wife. He heard that the family property was almost exhausted at the time of his death; the second child was Minglan's grandfather. The graceful and unrestrained Tanhua Lang met the fierce Houfu daughter. The husband and wife almost became enemies. They died of a cold wind when they were less than 30 years old. The third son is the best, but he has lived until now.
Minglan sighed deeply: the introduction of genetic improvement failed and the entire army was wiped out.
The young man went to the old house to report the letter. When Minglan and his party arrived, the main entrance of Shengzhai was opened. A row of brightly-dressed women stood at the door. Seeing the old lady Sheng and Minglan getting off the sedan, the first one The round-faced woman of Nian came up, bowed her head to the old lady Sheng, and said with a smile: "Auntie is finally here, my old lady's neck is long, and I haven't seen my aunt in recent years. Look at her spirit. Shuangjian, my nephew is happier than anything else!"
While talking, I saw a pretty young girl standing behind Mrs. Sheng in a blink of an eye, and tentatively asked: "This is my niece?" Mrs. Sheng laughed and said, "That's the little monkey. Raised by my side since I was a child, it happens to be a company with Pin Lan."
Then glanced at Minglan with his eyes.
Minglan immediately moved her steps, stood up to her respectfully, and obediently bowed down: "Please greet your elder mother, your elder mother is well."
Li's eyes narrowed into a line, and he kept saying, "Good, good, good boy." He touched Minglan's face carefully, and his eyes showed compliments: "This child can be born true. Okay, the rules are good, this time I can stay a little longer, and teach you the monkey-like cousin Pinlan, she is like a wild horse without a bridle." Then he pointed to a young woman next to him: "This is Your sister-in-law, what do you want to live here, just tell her."
Minglan salutes her body again: "Good morning."
Wen immediately helped Ming Lan get up, and said softly: "Sister, don’t be polite, after seeing the old lady, do you like the room prepared for you? If you don’t like it, let’s change it immediately. It's my sister's own home, don't be stuck."
Li's appearance is rich, kind and gracious, but with dignity and politeness. While speaking, Mrs. Sheng has been led to walk in, through the second door and the tea house door, and along the corridor into the inner house. Crossing the wall and entering the main hall where the old lady lived, Minglan entered, and saw an old lady with silver hair sitting in the middle. She had a thin and dry face, and only a pair of eyes were clear and energetic. When she saw the old lady Sheng, she immediately Stand up, spread your hands to help.
The old lady Sheng took a few steps hurriedly and shouted: "Sister-in-law."
The old lady kindly replied: "My younger brother and sister, it has been missing for many years. You are not in good health, and you are going to work with Brother Hong. I am not always tired of you, I only hope to see you again in my lifetime. On the one hand, it is the Buddha’s blessing to be able to do so today."
Speaking, the voice was a little choked, the old lady Sheng was quite moved, and said a few affectionate words, and then asked Minglan to kowtow to see you, the old lady took Minglan to look carefully, and nodded: "This The child is born well, and Peugeot is blessed."
This is the second time today that someone praised her for being beautiful. Minglan worked so hard to not touch her face. Where can a girl of only twelve be beautiful? It is probably a compliment from relatives. If you can't meet, just say, "How does your child grow like a gua".
Changwu, who has always been straightforward, was a bit twitched today. Since Minglan entered the door and said to him, "Congratulations to Brother Wu," he looked like a cooked Paul, shyly replied to Mrs. Sheng after a few words. He blushed and lowered his head, standing upright on the side to cultivate the subtle temperament of the groom.
Looking at the old lady Sheng talking with the old lady, Li pulled Minglan over, pointed to a girl who was standing next to Minglan who was the same age, and said, "This is your cousin Pinlan. You are all the same age. ."
Ming Lan took her eyes to look at the girl, she saw that she had a round face and big eyes, she looked like Lee's, a pair of heroic eyebrows were straight, and the whole face looked full of life, she was also looking at Ming Lan, Ming Lan They looked up with her and smiled okay: "Sister Pinlan is good."
The girl had shining eyes and replied: "Sister Minglan, too."
While speaking, he glanced at his mother and saw that Li was serving the two old ladies in the past, he blinked at Minglan with a big left eye, Minglan was startled, and quickly glanced around, playing heartily. She also blinked at the girl in response, then quickly dropped the corners of her mouth, her face was obediently honest.
Pin Lan's eyes widened, her big eyes full of smiles.
