Chapter 45 45 I really want to...
Chapter 45 45 I miss you so much
Although Wei Guangde spoke in a low voice, several other people also heard it.
Maybe they didn't say they were hungry. They didn't seem to feel it was time to eat before. Maybe they knew it, but wanted to find something to eat after returning to the city. Anyway, no one said they were hungry before, but after Wei Guangde said it, a few Everyone stood still and looked at each other.
"Haha, speaking of which, I was also hungry. I didn't notice that it was already dinner time. Today I will be the host and everyone will eat here in Xunyang Building."
Zhang Hongfu took the lead and took the others to the restaurant.
"As soon as Wei Xiaoer said he was hungry, I felt hungry too."
Wu Dong also touched his belly and smiled.
"Guangde must have remembered this Xunyang Tower after watching Water Margin, haha, but it's really nice to have a drink in this building and watch the scenery on the river."
Zhang Hongfu also smiled.
At first, Wei Guangde thought that he had seen the name Xunyang Tower somewhere. To be honest, he couldn't remember it.
But after Zhang Hongfu's joking, he suddenly remembered that there seemed to be a section of Xunyang Tower in Water Margin, and Song Jiang's anti-poem seemed to be here. In the end, he was arrested and ended up as a bandit.
The author of Water Margin, Shi Naian, was born in the late Yuan Dynasty and early Ming Dynasty. The Water Margin written by him had been circulated in the Ming Dynasty, and many of its plots were often talked about by literati.
But at this time, Wei Guangde still had a question in his mind. In his mind, Water Margin was very famous, and it was even promoted to the so-called "Four Great Classics" after the founding of the People's Republic of China. However, he seemed to have seen it somewhere. The Ming Dynasty and During the Qing Dynasty, this book seemed to be included in the list of banned books. From what Zhang Hongfu meant, it seemed that he had also read Water Margin.
"Brother Zhang Shi has also read Water Margin?"
Wei Guangde asked hurriedly, feeling that this was not a big problem, so he said it casually.
"Of course I have seen it, but you may be interested in the Liangshan heroes who are doing justice for heaven, while I am interested in other things."
Zhang Hongfu also said casually, and the meaning of his words was very clear. There were passages in that book that he liked.
Hearing what Zhang Hongfu said, Wu Dong and Wei Wencai looked suspicious. They didn't know which paragraph they were talking about. However, Wei Guangde was naturally strong in association, which was probably an advantage for future generations. He immediately thought of the key point.
If you watch Water Margin but are not interested in the heroes in it, then you will naturally be interested in other people.
Who else?
Naturally, there are only Gao Yanei and Ximen Qing, and
Thinking of this, Wei Guangde grinned and almost laughed out loud, but he quickly realized that as an eleven-year-old kid, he shouldn't have such a dirty smile at this time, so he immediately stopped smiling and acted curiously.
However, the instant change in his expression was still noticed by Zhang Hongfu. He pointed at Wei Guangde with his finger and said with a smile: "If you don't learn well, little guy, you will watch Water Margin and see some messy things." ’
Wei Guangde suppressed his laughter and imitated a scholar, cupping his hands at Zhang Hongfu and saying, "To each other."
They are all of the same generation, although they are a few years older than him, but at this time everyone is joking and there is no need to care about anything.
But what Wei Guangde was thinking was that if that famous book came out, he probably wouldn't read Water Margin. After all, Lan Ling Xiaoxiaosheng's work was still secretly read by many people even in his time. Happy to talk about.
There is actually a version for public sale, but it is just an abridged version, but the complete version is what everyone likes to talk about.
Not to mention how Wei Guangde knew about that book, because that book was still very famous. As for how he knew that the book had not yet come out, it was because he checked it online.
Moreover, it actually makes sense to say that the book is a side story of Water Margin, that is, it is a side story.
Several people walked downstairs in Xunyang and were about to carry the sedan through the door, but were blocked by two shopkeepers in front of the door.
"Gentlemen, I'm sorry, the shop is closed today."
The young store owner bowed his hands.
"It's not open for business, why are you still open?"
Zhang Hongfu frowned slightly, with a displeased expression on his face.
At this time, the door of Xunyang Tower is open. To say it is not open would be a lie.
"Young masters, I'm sorry, the shop is occupied by a customer today, and I really can't treat these distinguished guests with such indolence."
The neatly dressed waiter nodded to them and bowed to them, but he also made it clear about the situation in the store. The restaurant was booked today, and under such circumstances, he really couldn't get in.
Wei Guangde raised his head and glanced at the few people standing by the window upstairs. At this time, they seemed to be looking at the scenery from a distance. They were all dressed as Confucian scholars in robes. They seemed to be scholars, and they were all famous scholars.
Wei Guangde's heart was moved, and he couldn't help but said curiously: "Store, whoever is booking the place in the shop today, and who is invited, it seems to me that they are all scholars."
"To return to the young master, today Master Zhu Shilong of Jiujiang Prefecture has reserved a banquet for his classmates of the same year. He said that after today's banquet, he will close the door to thank the guests, concentrate on studying, and prepare for the coming autumn."
The waiter immediately turned to Wei Guangde and said respectfully, without any intention of looking down on Wei Guangde because he was young.
What I didn't say, Wei Guangde knew, the person who could go up here today was probably a scholar with a reputation as a scholar, or the classmate named Zhu Shilong.
It would definitely be impossible to go to Xunyang Tower and write a few poems. Although Wei Guangde felt a little regretful, there was nothing he could do.
"Then let's go back to the city to eat. It's only half a mile back to the city from here, not far."
Zhang Hongfu was naturally helpless after hearing what the store owner said.
On the way back, Wu Dong was curious about the family background of this man named Zhu Shilong. Not to mention, Zhang Hongfu really knew about it.
"That Zhu Shilong can be considered a talented person from Jiujiang. I have heard that he failed in the last provincial examination. I guess he plans to work hard and compete in next year's provincial examination again."
Having said this, Zhang Hongfu shook his head, "Those scholars look down on those of us who have been sheltered by the imperial court for generations, and we don't have to look down on them. They are risking their lives for the sake of fame.
For families like them, the imperial examination is a single-plank bridge, and only a handful of them can pass it. This is Jiujiang, not Ji'an. "
Saying this made Wu Dong and Wei Wencai nod.
Although Wu Dong was obsessed with fame, he also knew that he was destined to be a soldier in the future, but he just had a higher starting point. He didn't need to start as a big soldier, he could directly become a thousand households.
And this Zhang Hongfu obviously also knew that he would be one of the future commanders of the Jiujiang Guards. It would not be difficult for someone from Wei Guogong's line to take up the post.
Well, among the few people, it seems that Wei Guangde is the only one who does not have a career yet, and the only one who needs to work hard on his own.
The single-plank bridge is where Wei Guangde wants to rush next. If he can't rush across, he can only take the two paths he planned.
Along the way, Wei Guangde couldn't help but look envious as he saw scholars wearing round-necked t-shirts passing by from time to time.
I really want to time travel directly to Juren and Jinshi.
Wei Guangde was shouting loudly in his heart.
