Bachelor

Chapter 107

"To meet outside the city?" Sun Dan was surprised, he threw a copper coin to the boy: "Who actually invited me?"

After the boy took the copper coin, he quietly put it on the millstone in Sun Dan's yard, and replied, "I dare not ask for a reward from Master Sun. If I let that person know that I took your money, I'm afraid I will be twisted. Very fierce!" After speaking, he stuck out his tongue and looked at Sun Dan slyly.

Sun Dan chuckled: "Aren't you afraid that I will twist your ears?"

The kid was startled, and ran away in a hurry, shouting as he ran: "Anyway, you'll know when you go, it's under the bridge outside the city, by the post station, under the plum tree."

"Beside the post road bridge, I feel lonely and have no master, and I am alone at dusk..." Sun Dan has already confirmed that this should be a literary friend who came to invite him.In the past few days, Sun Dan took the time to go to the county school to visit the scholars who are studying there, and everyone has held a few literary meetings.These scholars have stayed in the county school for many years, eating the country's granary rice and eating slippery mouth.As far as Sun Dan saw, these talents were limited, and the vast majority of them were hopeless now.

A group of county academic talents control the direction of local public opinion and think highly of themselves, so we can't help them to establish a good relationship.

Therefore, during this period of time, Sun Dan also cheered up to socialize with them, during which he copied a few poems from later generations to suit the occasion, which naturally won a lot of applause.

These guys are all self-admired, and they are so sour, they often engage in some romantic activities.

For example, when you go boating in Yeyue, you end up being bitten by mosquitoes; for example, when you climb a high mountain and look far away, you end up climbing to the mountainside, and a few scholars are tired and lying on the ground panting, so naturally it is impossible to talk about pointing out the country and encouraging words.

As Mr. Lu Xun said, they are all poets who cry when they see the flowers and feel sad for the moon.

Smiling, she tidied up her clothes and was about to go out when Zhiniang chased after her: "Sun Lang, it's so late to go out? It's cool by the river, why don't you add some clothes before you go."

"Alright."

While helping Sun Dan to dress, Zhiniang said quietly: "We meet at dusk, and we don't report to our family, but return under the plum tree, don't you be Sun Lang's confidante outside?"

Sun Dan laughed, stretched out his fingers and scratched her nose: "What are you thinking, it's just the group of literary friends in the county school. You know, those guys have to pay attention to a sentiment in everything, they must be elegant and elegant. Interesting, it's hard to let go. Your husband-in-law looks ordinary, has a stupid mouth, and is also timid, I'm afraid no confidante can fall in love with me."

Zhi Niang said seriously: "You are also a person with fame now, you can't go to that kind of place. Besides, you have to care about your own identity, and don't let others see the joke. If you really have a confidant, just be generous. Just come back."

A layer of sweat broke out on Sun Dan's back, and what Zhi Niang said meant that he suspected that he had been to a brothel.Some time ago, some literary friends suggested going to that kind of place to hold an elegant collection.Sun Dan felt that it was inappropriate to go to that kind of place, so he declined.

"No, I'm not interested in this kind of thing. Besides, I have a good wife at home, so what's the point of me engaging in this kind of thing?"

"Well, I believe in you, Sun Lang, go quickly." Zhiniang said softly.

Because it was an elegant meeting among literati, Sun Dan didn't take Feng Zhen there, but walked slowly alone, as an exercise after dinner.

When I walked out of the city gate and arrived at the North Gate Bridge, the sunset had already dyed the sky red.The sunset glow of this autumn is frighteningly red, and even the undulating hills on the horizon have turned a deep red.As for the flowing river water, it was as thick as a pool of molten copper, dazzlingly bright.

On the bridge is a post station. The post road in Ming Dynasty was wide and flat.

The air in this era is really fresh, and the wind blows, carrying the cool air of the river, straight to the heart.

Sun Dan's chest cleared, and he couldn't help shouting: "The green hills are still there, and the sunset is red a few times."

As soon as I said this sentence, I felt great regret in my heart.This is Yang Shen's famous line through the ages, which he wrote when he was exiled to Yongchangwei, Yunnan, thinking about his life experience.Now Yang Shenzheng is proud of his spring breeze, and he is ambitious to do a big business, so he probably didn't realize the majestic and vicissitudes of life in his poems.I plagiarized other people's masterpieces in advance. Although everyone is familiar with them, they are a little embarrassed.

Zouping is located in the hinterland, the place is stable, and the city gates are closed late, sometimes not even closed.I'm not afraid to go back too late, and I won't be able to enter the city.

After taking a step, I came under the bridge and saw the huge wintersweet tree.

This tree is ridiculously big, more than three meters high, with a large branch squeezed together, enough to encircle two people.Because it's not yet winter, the leaves on the trees are thick and dense, standing on the bank of the river in the fiery sunset, like a green cloud rising from the sky.

Sun Dan looked from a distance, but there was no one under the tree.

He felt something was wrong, walked under the tree full of suspicion, and said to himself: "What's the trick, you made an appointment with me but didn't come, isn't it a joke? When I go to the capital, I won't come back?"

Just as he smiled wryly, he was about to turn around and leave, but he saw a figure flash behind the tree, and a tall little girl came out.The two long legs are amazingly beautiful.

Sun Dan saw that it was Su Fen who hadn't seen her for a long time.

He was stunned for a moment, this Sufen asked him to do something, could it be for Uncle Wanli's marriage.

Suppressing the doubts in his heart, Sun Dan hurriedly cupped his hands: "So it's Miss Tang, I don't know why you asked me out so late, but it's about Wan's family and you? If you really don't want to marry Wanli, tell Mrs. Tang about it." That's it. I can understand your thoughts, after all, it's related to your life. However, regarding your matter, it's inconvenient for me, an outsider, to talk, and you need someone to tie the bell."

"Wanfu grandson." Sufen changed into a new dress today, looking very beautiful.However, the sunset was too red, and I couldn't tell what color it was.

This is the most beautiful woman Sun Dan has ever seen since coming to the Ming Dynasty, and it would be a lie to say that she is not moved.Everyone has a love for beauty, and Sun Dan is not exempt from it. He looked at Su Fen at the same level and forgot to return the gift for a while.

Sufen also knew that Sun Dan was peeking at her, so she lowered her head and whispered, "My lord, why don't we walk along the river."

"That's fine, but, you and I are alone together, if it spreads, I'm afraid it will affect Miss Qingyu."

"Sufen is a miserable woman with a humble status. She sells alcohol in the street, so what kind of reputation can she have?"

"Hehe, I think too much. You and I are upright, afraid of what others will say." Sun Dan smiled, returned to normal, and walked forward: "Let's go, talk about something while walking. In fact, Wanjia also That's right, although Wan Li is lame, his family is considered to be in the upper middle class in Zouping County. Marrying to Wan's family will ensure that you will have no worries about food and clothing for the rest of your life. Life is just a few decades, and it goes by in a blink of an eye. Although Wan Li It looks a bit slender, but when you get old and see it a lot, it will be pleasing to the eye... Hey, why don't you follow?"

Sun Dan stopped and turned to look.

Sufen stood a few steps behind him, tears streaming down her cheeks, her voice choked up: "Master, do you really want me to marry that cripple? If you nod, Sufen will marry. Just as I jumped from a pool of bitter water to another It’s just a matter of going through the bitter water. After all, life is not good.”
