The whole story is as follows, and the poem ends.
; Tang Bohu, Shenzhou, Wen Zhiming and Chou Ying are called the "Four Wumen". One of the leading figures is Tang Bohu, who is known as "the first romantic talent in the south of the Yangtze River".
The marriage between San Xiao in Tang Bohu and Qiu Xiang, a beautiful girl in Washington, Wuxi, is also a beautiful story.
The owner of Washington is Hua Hongshan, a bachelor of Hanlin in the period of Emperor Zhengde of the Ming Dynasty. He has elegant manners, occupies an important position and lives at home. His mansion is located in the suburb of his hometown Wuxi. The Hua family is well-off, with many servants and maids, and the best is the four fragrances of Mrs. Hua. They are spring flowers, Xia Lian, autumn moon and winter plum, also known as Chunxiang, Xia Xiang, Qiuxiang and Dongxiang. Sixiang has a special position in Washington. They only serve Mrs. Hua, and they only do some light and detailed work, and they can also deploy other servants in the government. Sixiang can enjoy this honor, not only because they are cute, but also because they are ingenious, eloquent and meticulous, and won the appreciation of Mrs. Hua.
Of these four kinds of incense, Chou-heung is the best. After her parents died, Chou-heung grew up beside Mrs. Hua. She is not only beautiful and charming, but also smart and considerate. Mrs. Hua's intention, sometimes it goes without saying that Chou-heung can get the message and do it just right. Mrs. Hua is a noble lady who knows books and is polite. Influenced by her, Chou-heung can read and break ink a little, and her manners are also dyed with a lot of elegance and charm. Therefore, Mrs. Hua attaches great importance to Chou-heung and gives her some important things to arrange, and she herself regards her as a half-hearted daughter.
In the spring of this year, Mrs. Hua, who is good at believing in Buddhism, accompanied by servants such as Sixiang, made a special trip to worship at Maoshan Ancient Temple. Maoshan, also known as Juqu Mountain, is located in the southeast of Jurong County, Jiangsu Province. There is an ancient temple halfway up the mountain with a strong incense. Mrs. Hua and her party took a boat from Wuxi until the Qishuyan River Ferry stopped, and then left the boat in a sedan chair to the east. A large group of servants carrying several sedan chairs passed through Jurong County, and many people stopped to watch. Jurong city is bustling and very lively. On a whim, Chou-heung quietly lifted a corner of the curtain in the second sedan chair and looked out. This hope is to see a group of teenagers on the edge of the city, scrambling to ask a young childe to paint on the vegetarian fan they have prepared, one by one, which is very interesting. The little childe surrounded in the middle seems to be in a good mood. Holding a paintbrush in his hand, he painted leisurely on the left and right. Every time he only needs a few strokes, he can draw a sector, and everyone who has drawn it carefully holds it as if he had won something. Seeing this scene, Chou-heung, sitting in a sedan chair, couldn't help laughing. This smile was unintentional, but unexpectedly, the painting childe looked up at this moment and was receiving this smile. Painting childe seems to be flattered to stare at the sedan chair, and the brush in his hand unconsciously rubs against the clothes of those people around him, but he doesn't know how to take it back. Chou-heung, sitting in the sedan chair, saw that her smile was noticed, so she quickly put down the curtain and sat down in the sedan chair politely.
The son who painted for others watched the sedan chair go away, but he was not interested in painting any more. He left with a pen, no matter how implored those who didn't get the painting. The painter turned out to be Tang Bohu, who was called "the first romantic genius in the south of the Yangtze River". It is the famous Yin and the word Bohu. Because his name is six, he is like a layman. He is unique and talented. He can not only write beautiful articles, but also draw excellent landscape figures. His paintings follow his interests, his style is elegant and his style is unrestrained. He was called the pen of genius, and it was a wonderful product that people were scrambling to collect at that time. During the Hongzhi reign of Emperor Xiaozong of the Ming Dynasty, Tang Bohu won the first place after having obtained the provincial examination and became the leader of juren. But he is not interested in continuing to make progress, but he is arrogant and unruly. He is often addicted to poetry, wine, calligraphy and painting, lingering in love affairs and living a carefree life.
In this warm spring season in bloom, he made an appointment with two or three friends and went to Maoshan with the boat. I was recognized on the way back from the ancient temple of Maoshan, and I wrapped my painting around him. Tang Bohu was infected by the spring scenery along the way and was in a very happy mood. She also wanted to draw two strokes, so she readily agreed, picked up the pen and paper that others had already prepared, and began to express Chun Qing in her heart. Who knows that at the beginning, there is no way to finish it. People around him who like arty kept listening, which made him unable to answer, but he was still in high spirits.
However, Chou-heung's charming smile brought his painting to a screeching halt, and all his thoughts were focused on recalling that charming smile. On the way back to the passenger ship, his mind was full of the fleeting scene just now. As a romantic wit, Tang Bohu has experienced a lot of charm for women, but no one can compare with the shallow smile of the woman who just got on the sedan chair, which makes him more tempted. Although he doesn't know the identity of this woman, her dignified and pretty face contains big eyes full of autumn water, which is really fascinating. Especially that smile, charming but not flattering, gorgeous but not vulgar, seems to have opened up a world full of spring, how can it not attract people to integrate into it?
Gloomily, Tang Bohu returned to the boat, where several friends were waiting for him, ready to rest on the boat for one night and set sail for Suzhou the next day. That night, Tang Bohu lost his mind and couldn't sleep. When he thought of midnight, he suddenly came up with a clever plan. After adding a little, he suddenly let out a cry, changed his voice and sat up, beating his head while screaming. The friend in the same boat was awakened by him, so he grabbed him and asked him why. Tang Bohu was deliberately confused for a long time, and then he said with a lingering fear, "I saw a god in my dream just now, with red hair and red teeth, more than ten feet tall. He called me directly, saying that I had offended the God of Heaven by burning incense to ungodly people and sent him to punish me. I kowtowed and begged again and again, and he reluctantly said that he would spare my life today, but I must hold incense alone at dawn and worship along the way, or I will be punished again. " Friends assured him that he didn't have to take it to heart, but Tang Bohu was still worried. He said firmly, "You can go up the mountain to make pilgrimages alone tomorrow. You can go back by boat without waiting for me." My friend couldn't beat him, so he agreed to his suggestion.
Early the next morning, Tang Bohu got off the boat and returned to jurong city. He politely asked people about the group of people who marched in the street yesterday. Finally, I learned that it was a parade led by Mrs. Hua Bachelor in Wuxi, and the most beautiful one was Mrs. Hua's beloved maid Chou-heung. Tang Bohu concluded that the smiling girl was Chou-heung.
Tang Bohu didn't flinch, because Chou-heung is a handmaid. He has decided that she is a gentle girl and will never change her mind because of her humble position. Knowing that Hua Jia's painting grease will leave for Wuxi early tomorrow morning, Tang Bohu quietly hired a boat and asked the boatman to anchor the boat near Hua Jia's painting grease boat. It's another sleepless night, but the thought of a carefree and yearning beauty is close at hand makes me feel a little down-to-earth and throbbing. The whole night, daydreaming, my thoughts drifted between dreams and waking.
At dawn, Tang Bohu climbed out of the narrow cabin and sat in the bow. The water around him is very vague. Whether it is the original boat or the small boat, it is like floating in a misty fairyland, which makes him more absent-minded and fantasizes about himself and the beautiful woman embracing each other in the clouds of the Heavenly Palace. While Tang Bohu was in high spirits, suddenly a pot of cold water fell from the sky and poured on his head. He woke up suddenly and looked up, but he happened to see Chou-heung standing at the window of the studio with a washbasin in his hand, looking embarrassed. Tang Bohu, who was born with a big internal heat, saw the water spilt out from the beautiful woman's hand, and suddenly her internal heat dissipated, as if she felt that the water was mellow and clear, nourishing her beautiful mind and smiling affectionately at the beautiful woman.
The autumn fragrance in the painting was covered by the fog, and the face washing water was accidentally spilled on the guests on the boat. When I was at a loss, I saw the guests looking up, but it was the painting I saw in the street the day before yesterday. By this time, I was already in the water. I didn't blame myself, but smiled at myself. I was happy for a moment and smiled leisurely.
Tang Bohu was fascinated by this bright smile again. When he calmed down and wanted to respond, Chou-heung had dropped the screen window of the original Okada, and the original Okada started slowly. Tang Bohu hurriedly ordered the boatman to follow, and took out an ingot of sycee and threw it in the boatman's hand. The boatman understood its meaning, paddled hard and followed the original boat closely.
Have a nice trip. After noon, the original ship and the boat arrived in Wuxi at the same time. Chou-heung never appeared again during the voyage. Tang Bohu only felt empty.
After the original ship stopped, Mrs. Hua disembarked under the crowd of maids and boarded the sedan chair to meet her. Sixiang, one of the handmaids, is also sitting in the sedan chair, but the sedan chair is slightly smaller. After serving the lady in the sedan chair, Sixiang turned and got into her sedan chair. Chou-heung turned around and looked up and saw that Tang Bohu had got off the boat and stood there at a loss. Seeing his silly appearance, she smiled meaningfully at him and got into the sedan chair. Her first visit to San Xiao really made Tang Bohu ecstatic. A real beauty smiled and laughed, and San Xiao looked at herself. Her smile must mean something. So he followed Chou-heung's sedan chair forward. In a blink of an eye, he came to the front of the towering Washington DC Zhumen, sat in a few sedan chairs, followed by a large group of servants. Tang Bohu followed without thinking and went in. He was stopped by the gatekeeper's servant and hasn't recovered.
How can I meet a beautiful woman who is worried about her? Tang Bohu also wants to visit Bachelor of Chinese with a famous brand. For his reputation, he will be treated with courtesy. But in that case, how can you ask for a maid? After careful consideration, he came up with a "risk plan".
First of all, he went to the pawnshop to buy a washed blue cloth and Confucianism shirt and put it on. However, he couldn't calm down for a long time and came to Washington not far away, pacing up and down with tears in his eyes. This move is really clever. Soon, a kind-hearted man came up to ask about him. He pretended to tell helplessly: "I am originally from Suzhou, and I am immersed in my studies. Unexpectedly, my parents died one after another, so I came to Wuxi to visit my relatives. However, my relatives have moved away and I can't find my whereabouts. I am penniless and desperate! " After that, I sobbed and cried. The onlookers comforted him sympathetically, and the soft-hearted people accompanied him to shed a few tears. Among the onlookers was a housekeeper in Washington. Seeing that the scholar in front of him had fine eyes and was quite spiritual, he wanted to help him now that he was really poor, so he said, "If you don't mind, I do have a place where you can live in peace." The people next to him recognized him as a housekeeper in Washington, DC, and flattered him that he had a way. Tang Bohu was secretly pleased when he heard that he was a housekeeper in Washington. He quickly dried his tears and thanked him at the beginning of the album: "Thank you for your help. As long as you have a place to live, there is nothing you don't like!" The housekeeper in Washington has been well received by everyone. She brushed her beard and said, "My master is trying to hire a buddhist nun for both grandchildren from class. If the grandchildren are not ashamed to clear their names, I can recommend them to him. " Tang Bohu hurriedly come forward to thousands of thanks.
In this way, through the recommendation of the housekeeper, he successfully passed the test of Master Hua, became the second young master of Bandu and Huajia, and was named Hua 'an.
Master Hua knows elegance only after he has learned five cars. It is difficult for two sons to learn from their families. They are not only dull by nature, but also lazy and playful. They have been taught by an old pedant for more than ten years, but they still can't write a barely fluent article. Master Hua was disappointed. Now, I have invited a clever buddhist nun Hua 'an to be my son Bandu, and I also hope that my two sons can make some progress. Unfortunately, these two sons of bitches simply refused to concentrate on their studies. They bully old pedants, who are old and dizzy. As long as Mr. Wang is not paying attention, you look at me, and I look at you, wink at you, or stare at the sky outside the window. They even sneaked to the front, poured ink into Mr. Wang's teacup, and let the old man drink black. They snickered under their mouths and the old man was puzzled. "
Knowing that the two sons of the Hua family are "dead wood cannot be carved", I don't want to urge them to study hard. He just followed them blindly, which was quite pleasing to his two sons.
On the surface, in Bandu's study, Tang Bohu's heart is looking for Chou-heung every day, but a month has passed. I haven't even smelled Chou-heung. It turns out that there is a reason for this. Although the two silly sons of Hua family are not good at reading, they are good playboys. Both brothers are addicted to the beauty of the maid and Chou-heung, and always try their best to find her and fight for her brothers. Mrs. Hua was very angry with her two disappointing sons. In a rage, she ordered them not to step into the inner court. In order to avoid right and wrong, Chou-heung not only accompanied Mrs. Hua, but also came to the outer court as little as possible. No wonder Tang Bohu entered Washington, but it was hard to see Hua Qiuxiang.
One day, the old pedant went out to see his old friend. When he left, he arranged a topic for his two sons, asked them to write an article for him to come back for inspection, and he also sent it to Master Hua for inspection. Gal, can frighten the two childe, Mr. Cha they are not afraid, but said dad to see, can give them to the curb. Dad's family law is very strict, and he may get hit by the board. After the old man left, neither son dared to go out for a walk. They sat at the table honestly, cocked their heads, chewed their pens and whined, but couldn't write a word for a long time. At this time, Huaan brought them tea and snacks, looked at their sad faces and smiled. The eldest son had a brainwave when he saw his sneer and wanted to get angry. He remembered that his father had said that Hua 'an still had some spirituality, so why not ask him to rewrite an article? Having made up his mind, the eldest son got up quickly, pulled Hua 'an to a chair and sat down, pleading, "Please write an article today, which will be of great benefit to you in the future!" Hearing this, the second son immediately jumped up, grabbed Hua 'an's other hand and shouted, "Write an article for me, too. Today will be good for you!" " "Brother, you pull me. Tang Bohu looked at them pitifully. Writing these two articles was just a piece of cake for him, so he reluctantly agreed. Seeing the savior, the Second Childe heaved a sigh of relief, hurriedly polished the ink, fanned the fan, and respectfully waited on Hua 'an to write. Tang Bohu casually sat down, looked at the topic, picked up a pen, and finished writing two articles in a short time. Hua Erzi completed the task, but didn't look at it again (anyway, he couldn't see the good or bad), so he took away the hard-working Hua 'an. Sneak into the street to drink for fun.
In the afternoon, the old man came back from the outside, and the two sons proudly handed over the article written by Hua' an Dai. The old man shook his head, read it again and said, "Great progress, great progress!" " "Busy crossed to praise master China. Master Hua also appreciated the brilliance of the article after reading it, but he immediately understood that it was not written by two stupid sons, but someone must have written it for him. Master Hua ordered his two sons to be called, but it was exposed after a little interrogation, so the childe had to tell the truth, and it was made by Hua' an. Master Hua ordered his family to hit the board for his two sons and beat them "ouch". The old gentleman standing by felt very ashamed of it. He also lost confidence in his two sons and immediately offered to resign and return to his hometown. After a short stay, Master Hua followed suit and responded to the old man's request. At this time, he is quite clear, Hua-an Xiao is fully qualified as a teacher.
From then on, Hua 'an put on a robe and became a teacher of Hua's family. Tang Bohu already knew all the ins and outs of the Second Childe, so he simply taught students in accordance with their aptitude, starting with literacy, and was not in a hurry to let them recite dry ancient prose and write long speeches. As a result, the two sons made progress day by day. Master Hua was very happy and praised Hua 'an.
Although I live a carefree life in Washington, I have never met a beautiful woman, and Tang Bohu just feels that every day is like a year. It was already autumn chill anxiety, and he finally figured out a way. After lunch that day, Hua 'an asked to see Master Hua, who asked him to sit down and asked what was the matter. Hua' an hesitated: "I want to leave and go back to China." Master Hua didn't expect it. He just thinks that his two sons have offended Mr. Hua. He quickly asked, "Did two animals make Mr. Hua angry?" Huaan quickly denied: "Where! Where! "
Master Hua asked, "Why is that?" Hua' an revealed shyly: "I am old and want to go back to my hometown to get married."
Master Hua was relieved when he heard that this was the reason. At this time, his two sons are indispensable to this gentleman. When asked that Hua 'an was not engaged in his hometown, he said, "You don't have to go home after you get married. Isn't it more convenient for the old man to choose a beautiful woman for you here? "
This is exactly what Tang Bohu wants. He quickly bowed his head and said, "Thank you for your kindness! In fact, it doesn't take a lot of twists and turns. Just choose a waiter in the house. "
Master Hua saw that his request was not high, and immediately promised to come down, and immediately ordered to convene all the maid candidates in the house.
The maids in the mansion were very excited when they heard that Xi Huaan had chosen his wife. Because Hua 'an's handsome talent has already spread all over Washington, it is naturally the luck of the maids to marry him. Soon, dozens of beautifully dressed maids stood in rows in the hall, and Master Hua asked Hua 'an to choose carefully.
Tang Bohu's heart trembled a little. When he thought that this beautiful woman would appear in front of him soon, he couldn't help speeding up his steps. He looked at them carefully, but he was disappointed. There is no shadow of Chou-heung in it! Why is this? It turned out that Mrs. Hua was reluctant to let her four fragrances go, so when the master told the maids to gather, she left four fragrances and refused to let them go.
Tang Bohu didn't find Chou-heung and returned to the small hall in disappointment. Master Chao Hua shook his head. Master Hua saw that he had not been chosen, and only after he came out did he know that the best four phases had not come yet, so he sent someone to invite him in the inner court.
Mrs. Hua had no choice but to release four fragrances. Chou-heung didn't want to be elected. She offered to serve her all her life, but her master was doomed and her wife dared not keep her.
Sixiang walked into the hall together, and sure enough, they all looked like fairies and peach blossoms, which eclipsed the other maids. Hearing this, Tang Bohu recognized Chou-heung, who had been missing for half a year, from four flowers. Chou-heung also recognized the son who had met three times, and she blushed.
The marriage was soon settled. On the Mid-Autumn Festival, the Hua family decorated with lanterns and held a wedding for two good servants. I was so angry that the second childe gnashed her teeth, and the beauty fell into the hands of this boy in Huaan.
The couple's new house is located in a secluded hut in the back garden. After the guests in the new house dispersed, there was only a couple who were slightly drunk in the room. Chou-heung said, "Look, you were a golden boy that day. Why did you become a slave in Washington? " Tang Bohu smiled cunningly and said, "It's not for you, San Xiao!" Chou-heung was shy and earnest, and murmured, "I watched you paint in the street. You were sweating like rain, but you were graceful. I expected that you would be an extraordinary scholar, so I smiled! "
Tang Bohu praised: "Ai Qing has a good eye. I am Tang Jieyuan! "
"Tang Jieyuan?" Chou-heung didn't expect that the servant of the Hua family who hugged her bridal chamber turned out to be the famous Tang Jieyuan. Tang Bohu told how she fell in love with her in San Xiao and sold herself to Washington. Chou-heung was very moved and threw herself into his arms.
Tang Bohu decided to leave Washington with Chou-heung that night and sneak back to Suzhou. Chou-heung readily agreed to his plan. So they took off their dresses, put on casual clothes, slipped out of Washington through the back door, hired a boat and sailed for Suzhou overnight.
The next day, people in Washington didn't see the couple leave home. When they opened the new door at noon, they saw that the red candle quilt was still there, and there was no sign of the couple! Looking carefully, I found a poem on the table, which read:
Six arts have been abandoned for half a year, such as fast whip;
We should hide the spring scenery in Huawu, but we should get rid of the fate of San Xiao Iraqis.
When the poem was sent to Master Hua, he pondered for a long time and didn't understand what it meant. After a while, someone found a painting from the new house, which is a landscape painting in Wuxi. Free and easy style, elegant charm and far-reaching influence. Huada Normal University shouted, "Good painting!" The name inspired him, and he immediately realized that every sentence in the poem was connected at the beginning, which became the word "six as dead". Isn't Liu Ru a six-Confucianism laity Tang Bohu! Who else painted this picture besides Tang Bohu? So, Hua 'an, who has been a slave in his family for more than half a year, is Tang Bohu, a gifted scholar in the south of the Yangtze River? The more he thought about it, the more he liked it. He couldn't help shouting, "Snub! Snub! "
