Chapter 84 The beautiful scenery of Hainan (first order requested)
Zhu Zaijing’s preemptive salute and his “Uncle Gao” made Gao Gong so moved that he almost shed tears. .
Because the cost of living in the capital is too high, it is impossible for a noble Hanlin in Gao Gong to have as much money as a foreign official. Therefore, he has been living alone in the capital for almost all these years without any relatives around him. In this cold winter, During the twelfth lunar month, except for Zhu Zaijing who sent people to deliver some daily necessities, no one else came to visit.
Now that Zhu Zaijing arrived suddenly and brought a stranger with him, Gao Gong immediately reacted and said to Zhu Zaijing: "Okay, okay, come in quickly, it's cold outside."< br>
While saying this, Gao Gong also used his peripheral vision to look at Hai Rui, who was following Zhu Zaijing. He saw that Hai Rui was wearing thin clothes, only a thin gray cloth gown. It doesn't seem like there's much cotton.
However, this person actually had an aura of high righteousness lingering around him at that station. Such an extraordinary sight naturally attracted Gao Gong's attention.
Gao Gong bowed to Hai Rui: "I, Gao Gong, whose courtesy name is Suqing and whose name is Zhongxuan. I am from Xinzheng, Henan Province. May I ask your name, Gaoxin?"
Hai Rui also bowed to the greeting "I don't dare to praise you. I am Ruixian, nicknamed Gangfeng, and I am from Qiongshan, Guangdong."
Gao Gong was surprised when he heard that he was from Qiongshan, Guangdong. This place is not close. It is the southernmost place of the Ming Dynasty, almost reaching the end of the world.
Zhu Zaijing watched the two people greeting each other at the door and also interjected, "Uncle Gao, please invite people in quickly. It's so cold outside, so don't freeze."
After Gao Gong heard Zhu Zaijing's words, he did not dare to hesitate and said to Hai Rui quickly: "Brother Hai, please."
Hai Rui bowed back again, "Thank you, Brother Gao."
Then, as if Zhu Zaijing had returned to his own home, he entered Gaogong's small courtyard room without Gaogong's guidance.
Looking at the small courtyard where Gao Gong lived, Zhu Zaijing couldn't help but say, "Uncle Gao, the place you live in is too small. I'll ask Meng Chong to find another one for you. Make the house bigger and arrange some servants. Otherwise, what can you do with your daily life?"
Gao Gong was moved beyond words when he heard that Zhu Zaijing cared so much about him.
Gao Gong said: "No, no, sir. Since this place is close to the Hanlin Academy, I don't have to go back and forth. If I change my residence, I'm afraid I won't be able to catch up with the morning shift."
Zhu Zaijing heard this. He also laughed at this, "Yes, you guys have strict rules in the Hanlin Academy, and it's good to live here so close. But I still need to arrange a servant for you to take care of your daily life, otherwise if this spreads out and others know about it, "Why don't you blame your nephew for not knowing how to respect his elders?"
Hai Rui, who followed Zhu Zaijing and Gao Gong into the room, heard Zhu Zaijing say that Gao Gongzai seemed to be working in the Hanlin Academy. , and saw that Gao Gong’s room was filled with various collections of books.
At this moment, Hai Rui couldn't help but be surprised, "Is Brother Gao a Jinshi of the Hanlin Academy?"
After hearing Hai Rui's words, Gao Gong glanced at Zhu Zaijing again and found that Zhu Zaijing didn't have any other instructions with his eyes, so he said frankly: "I am a bachelor of the fifth rank in the Hanlin Academy. The shabby abode makes Brother Hai laugh."
When Hai Rui heard that he was really a Jinshi, he was immediately shocked. He never expected that this noble young man whom he met unexpectedly would take him to the home of a Jinshi. This was so fantastical that it seemed like a dream.
Hai Rui bowed and said, "Don't you dare? I am a noble scholar. I am just an ordinary person. How dare I discuss friendship with my peers?"
Hai Rui is such a person. He was upright and disciplined, but this did not mean that Hai Rui was a arrogant fool. On ordinary occasions, when he met someone with a higher official rank than himself, Hai Rui would still meet him on a regular basis.
But it was impossible for Hai Rui to flatter and pay homage to Shangguan nobles like ordinary gentry and students. Hai Rui would only express his respect for people and things within the scope of etiquette. He would never go beyond the limits of etiquette, such as kneeling down to say hello to a superior officer.
And this is Hai Rui’s character! It was like a breath of fresh air, bringing a different color to the officialdom of the Ming Dynasty that had been turbid for hundreds of years.
It was precisely because of the touch of color that Hai Rui became a generation of upright and upright ministers, hence his nickname of "Gangfeng".
When Gao Gong heard that this person turned out to be a Juren, he was also surprised and sighed, "The Juren over there in Qiongshan are miserable."
As a result, before Hai Rui could say anything, Zhu Zaijing said: "Why is it so bitter over there in Qiongshan? It's like summer all year round there, and there are endless coconut delicacies everywhere. The sea water is as clear as crystal, and the fine sand on the beach is as gentle as It's so soft, and there are countless treasures in the sea. "
" If you were living at the Qiongshan Seaside, enjoying the sunshine and beach there, stepping on the crystal-like waves with your bare feet, you would be blown away by the waves. How comfortable and comfortable it is to pick up shells in the sea breeze? How can such a beautiful place be called bitter? Isn’t it much more comfortable than Beijing in the cold winter? ”
As soon as Zhu Zaijing said these words, both Gao Gong and Hai Rui were stunned.
Hai Rui asked uncertainly: "Master, have you been to Qiongshan?"
Zhu Zaijing sighed to himself: "Of course I have been there, and I still can't help it. It makes people miss him."
As soon as Zhu Zaijing said this, Hai Rui seemed to understand why Zhu Zaijing looked at him differently. It might be because Zhu Zaijing went to Qiongshan with his elders and saw it. I have passed my own "Zhi Li Ce", that's why I am so impressed by myself.
Otherwise all this would be unexplainable.
But Gao Gong also showed a look of disbelief and shock. He knew very well that Zhu Zaijing was a wealthy prince who had never even been to the capital, let alone Qiongshan, which was thousands of miles away.
But the scenery of Qiongshan that Zhu Zaijing just talked about was really as if he had experienced it personally. The sense of confusion in it also made Gao Gong feel at a loss.
"Is this what the prince saw in the "Yongle Dadian"?"
Gao Gong knew that Zhu Zaijing had been borrowing the "Yongle Dadian" which was being copied by the Hanlin Academy to watch recently. , and I have read many books, maybe these Qiongshan style can be seen in "Yongle Dadian".
Otherwise Gao Gong would not be able to think of any other reason.
Hai Rui sighed: "Although Qiongshan is beautiful, the Li people are difficult to control. If the imperial court can pay attention to controlling the chaos of the Li people in Qiongzhou, Qiongshan may really be as infinitely beautiful as the young master said."
When Zhu Zaijing heard this, he was not stunned, but asked: "What? There are still Li people in Hainan who are not convinced by Wang Hua?"
In Zhu Zaijing's subconscious mind, Hainan is a place of enjoyment. In a holiday paradise, there are either coconut trees swaying in the wind or bikinis walking on the sunny beach on the beach. What harm can happen there?
Even if there is harm, it is just a black car and a black shop of a few rip-offs that ruin the reputation of the local area.
