Chapter 89 Entering the Mountain
When walking along the Yijiang River, the entire Jindu was covered with thick snow, and the river surface was shrouded in mist. Only the passage for boarding the boat was cleared and a lot of soil was sprinkled on it, so there was no need to worry about slipping when walking up.
This is the first time Wang Ge has seen the ancient Jindu. Apart from the fence and the flat terrain, there is nothing strange about it. If there were not a few ferrymen chatting here waiting for the boat, if not the county official personally sent her here.
, she really thought it was an abandoned place where cattle and horses were sold.
Wang Ge's face towel was loose and loose, because her cheeks were all purple from the cold and hurt when touched. She still applied the facial oil given by Huan Langjun. If she didn't apply it, it would really break her skin. But she was always happy in her heart.
Looking at the beautiful snow and the majestic river water. Who would have thought that the number of wooden rules ordered by Magistrate Huan to be imitated is one hundred! The magistrate has said that after the county’s craftsmen inspect it, he will make Tingyi
Send the money due to your home in Jiashe Village.
Wang Ge was confident that all the weapons he imitated were in compliance with the standards. After calculation, he had half of the money left over from the four guilds!
She shuddered, it wasn't cold, she was shaking because she was rich.
"Xie's ship is here!"
Following the shout of the waiter, a three-story ship appeared from far to near, with low defensive walls on the periphery of each cabin. It was much more shocking than when Wang Ge saw it from a distance in the craftsman examination room. Each oar was long.
When they reached out to the string of the boat, the distance to the water surface was more than ten feet long. They rowed in unison, and the boat speed was extremely fast.
The boat slowly docked, and the people standing on the deck were all Xie family members. They were all tall and sturdy, and their cold clothes were very thin. I wonder if they were really not afraid of the cold. There were strict rules in the Jin Dynasty, and no members of the Xie family were allowed to wear armor, even bamboo armor.
Nope either.
A long board is set up, and four strong men walk down the long board.
Those who boarded the boat must first show the towel to these four people for inspection. When it was Wang Ge's turn, he presented the towel, took off his face towel, and explained the purple color on his face under the air conditioner: "Sir, I was on the road and it was freezing."
The appearance of Wang Ge recorded in the bamboo tablet is: fair-faced and beautiful.
The person in charge among the four people laughed heartily: "Haha, my surname is Li, and we don't dare to call you an adult. Don't worry, Carpenter Wang, your enrollment has been entrusted to me by the villa. Please come with me."
Leading the way in person, Wang Ge did not expect such treatment and looked flattered on his face.
Li Langjun took her to the second floor and said, "This floor is the warmest. When we arrive at Nanshan Villa, drums will be beating on the top of the boat. After the craftsman Wang disembarks, there will be child servants at Jindu to greet her."
"Thank you, Uncle Lee."
Li Langjun hesitated as he walked down the wooden ladder. He secretly thought that he would have to shave when he went back. How could he look so old?
Soon some passengers came up, but they were stopped as they went further up.
Perhaps it was because the Chinese New Year was approaching, so there were very few ferry passengers, and there were less than ten people on the empty second floor. The boat turned around, started slowly, and soon picked up speed. The wind blew through every window frame, and the curtains could only lift a little.
effect.
Even with the wind blowing everywhere, there were still passengers who went down to the first floor to enjoy the river view. Wang Ge was not interested, so he sat in a corner where the wind was not blowing, and took off the quilt to wrap himself up. Alas, the colder it gets, the colder it gets.
Want to go to the toilet.
I have to think of other things to distract myself from this: I wonder if my family will receive the four dollars a year ago. I will be pleasantly surprised after receiving it, and they must have repeatedly praised their tiger treasure for its abilities. Also, I don’t know Master Zhang
Have you received Adi’s letter? The floating compass will definitely make Master Zhang happy. What exactly do you need to learn to learn exegesis? Is it really just learning to read words as Mr. Huan said? Then why do you have to practice exegesis after becoming a master craftsman?
Can’t you become a great craftsman if you don’t know how to read?
Half an hour later, the sound of drums came. The oars were adjusted, and the sound of splashing water changed. Wang Ge folded up the bedding, stuffed it into the bottom of the basket, and prepared to disembark.
After the boat came to a stop, her feet touched the ground and she felt as if she was still on the boat. She said goodbye to the "Arbor Lee" rocker on the deck. When she turned around, she had already adapted.
Sure enough, two child servants came forward, one boy and one girl. They were both wearing green clothes and green skirts. They were about the same age as Wang Ge. "Are you Wang Ge?"
"I am Wang Ge."
"The two of us are child servants at Feiliu Peak in the Nanshan Guan Villa. Wang Jianggong's residence has been arranged. Please come with me."
"Um...wait a minute, is there a hut here?"
The girl immediately pursed her lips and smiled: "Come with me." After walking out of the ferry area, the girl stood with her hands on her hips and said, "Just stay here, I'll watch it for you."
All right.
After walking up the mountain road, the girl told her and the boy's names: Jingnu and Gufeng.
No surname? A question is a question. Wang Ge was not curious about this question.
Jingnu took the initiative to introduce to Wang Ge the sloping peaks, rock ridges, bamboo forests, and streams that passed along the road. Wang Ge listened attentively and asked questions from time to time. Jingnu became more and more knowledgeable, and felt that Wang Jianggong was quite kind and not as good as his master.
Clan in-laws, regardless of status, are all cold and cold.
In fact, being in the mountains is far better than looking at Nanshan from a distance. There are several looming waterfalls and the endless bamboo forests are really fascinating.
The climbing stone ladder was too narrow, one step in length, only wide enough for one foot, and there were no handrails. Fortunately, all the snow was cleared away and the soil was sprinkled. Gradually, Jingnu became too tired to speak, and Gu Feng was always silent in front of her.
Leading the way, when Wang Ge is fast, he is fast; when Wang Ge slows down, he is slow.
After passing a total of seven forks, there was finally no need to climb up. After walking more than ten feet of gently sloping earth, the wall of the "Jingshe" embedded in the dense bamboo forest came into view.
As soon as Wang Ge relaxed, he felt his legs were sore.
After entering the gate of the monastery, you directly step into the winding corridor and look out into the distance. One side of the winding corridor is full of houses, and the other side has stone carvings, canals, and an ornamental bridge with a mortise and tenon structure.
On this side of the house, there are windows next to each door, with large diamond-shaped window lattice. Gufeng stopped in front of the first house. The doors are like ordinary farmhouses, there are no locks on the outside, they can only be bolted on the inside.
Gu Feng opened the door and said: "The rest of the houses are full, only this one is free. Carpenter Wang can put down his luggage first, and we will take Carpenter Wang to see the teaching place."
Zheng……
The faint sound of the piano came from nowhere.
Wang Ge didn't pay attention. She couldn't hear the change of tone anyway.
The house was small, with straw mats on the floor, and a lacquered desk under the window, which made her eyes shine. There were pens, ink, inkstones, and two long wash boxes on the desk.
She put down the basket on her back, closed the door, and continued to follow the two boys.
Jing Nu said: "There are two masters who teach 'text exegesis': Master Guo and Master Zuo. The two masters take turns teaching every day, starting at the beginning of the morning and resting at noon; starting at the beginning of the afternoon and resting at the beginning of the day. Wang
Craftsmen are formal schoolchildren, and they can have lunch at the Qinquan Water Pavilion where lectures are held. For breakfast and dinner, you must go to the chef in the northwest corner with all other students."
Then, Jingnu pointed out along the way where to go to the kitchen, archery range, and piano room. "By the way, we have a carpenter's shop here, but we have to go out of the north gate of the Jingshe, and then follow the bamboo path eastward, near Feiliu Peak.
'You will be able to see it."
Wang Ge was really happy this time, his eyes were crooked and his cheeks were so purple that it hurt.
clank clank clank...
The sound of the piano ahead is urgent and fierce, like thousands of horses running around!
"Practice is over!" A child shouted happily, rushed out of the house, and asked Wang Ge, who was smiling brightly: "Girl, doesn't your face hurt when you smile like this?"
Jingshe: the school house where Confucian lectures are given.
