Chapter 30 第30章 Chatting 谈笑 The carriage left Su Residence, Song Mao lifted the curtain screen to look outside wind and snow, soon after turned head to confirm to Song Kai one prepared the good present. 马车离开了苏府,宋茂掀开帘子看了看外面的风雪,随后扭头向宋开确认了一遍准备好的礼品。 „The previous buying that ginseng...... is asks the forest just the character that writes with forest everyone...... Um, the ginseng to put the middle, common, what Master Qin most likes is the calligraphy and painting, this character he considers to like......” “上次买到的那颗人参……然后是求林甫同林大家写的字……嗯,人参放中间,不起眼一点,秦师最喜欢的是字画,这幅字他当是喜欢的……” Song Kai followed in Song Mao nearby already many years, the manner was discrete, the matter that these have transferred was impossible to make a mistake, Song Mao confirmed one time , was only has nothing to do nothing more. Regarding just now with that dialogue of Su Wenxing, he is really somewhat sigh with emotion, this nephew ability is insufficient, the vision not broad matter made him sigh, but, is not really able to think currently. 宋开跟在宋茂身边已经好些年了,为人谨慎可靠,这些早已交待的事情不可能出错,宋茂之所以确认一次,也仅是无事可做而已。对于方才与苏文兴的那番对话,他实在是有些感慨的,这外甥能力不够、眼界不广的事情着实令他叹息,不过,目前也实在是无法可想。 Naturally, must say from the kinship, Song Mao and Su Family, although walks near, but if really must say that has what close as flesh and blood kinship with this Younger Sister nephews, is not possible. It he with communicated as Su Residence Second Lady younger female cousin also without too many in the native place, afterward the gain of fame and fortune, Su Family spent the big wealth to invest to him on slightly, gave opportune help he to bear in mind, but, this basically also regarding Great-Grandfather Su as well as Su Family. 当然,要从亲情上说起来,宋茂与苏家虽然走得近,但若真要说与这妹妹外甥之间有什么骨肉相连般的亲情,还是不可能的。本身在老家他与作为苏府二夫人的堂妹也没有太多来往,后来稍稍发迹,苏家花了大笔钱财投资到他身上,雪中送炭他记在心里,不过,这基本也是对于苏太公以及苏家而言了。 The time passes, now he already situated in Provincial Governor, in the past Su Residence was behind him a big boost, now actually is also improves on perfection nothing more. If Su Family second branch in the future can control entire Su Family, to him, naturally some advantage, but the relations are actually not big. Su Wenxing with his after all is nearer relative, if he can control Su Family, everyone's interest involves also nearby some, but with this nephew's aptitude, can manage well Su Family, in fact in the border line, perhaps will also implicate oneself in the future on the contrary. 时间流逝,如今他已经位居知州,以往苏府算是他背后的一大助力,现在却也不过是锦上添花而已。苏家二房将来若能掌控整个苏家,对他来说,自然有些好处,但关系其实是不大的。苏文兴与他毕竟是更近一些的亲戚,若他能掌控苏家,大家的利益牵扯也就近一些,但是以这外甥的资质,能不能管好苏家,实际上也是在两可之间,日后说不定反倒牵累了自己。 If that Su Tan'er controls Su Family, that girl able, can size up the situation, the own Provincial Governor status, the opposite party will certainly flatter, in fact this boost will not change. But existence of because of oneself, Younger Sister and nephew, even if cannot attain the Su Family Manager power, but will in fact still keep the identity of Su Family person, some small powers, the food and clothing is worry-free, as the matter stands, can become oneself and Su Family tie, perhaps to incompetent Wenxing, still not necessarily is not a good deed. 而如果是那苏檀儿掌控苏家,那女娃儿是有能力的,更能审时度势,自己的知州身份,对方一定会巴结上来,实际上这一股助力也不会改变。而因为自己的存在,妹妹与外甥这一支就算拿不到苏家的管事权,但实际上也仍然会保留苏家人的身份,有些小权力,衣食无虞,这样一来,既能成为自己与苏家的纽带,或许对能力不够的文兴来说,也未必不是一件好事。 In his brain in hesitates must make the such choice, naturally, Great-Grandfather Su is also in good health now, he naturally also cares about the propinquity, is more intimate to the Younger Sister nephew. Before that Prelude to Water Melody reputation him, has listened, naturally, inquired recently, some obtained news actually fishy, if is really the disciple of seeking fame, looks in nephew's request, oneself will also be conveniently revealing. In the evening this is the matter that needs to consider, he has a look at the present, shakes the head, casts behind. 他脑中在犹豫着要不要做这样的选择,当然,如今苏太公还健在,他自然也是顾及亲族关系,对妹妹外甥更亲近一些。那水调歌头的名声他之前也听过,当然,最近打听一番,得到的消息却有些蹊跷,若真是沽名钓誉之徒,看在外甥的请求上,自己也是会顺手将之揭穿的。这是晚上才需要考虑的事情,他看看礼品,摇摇头,抛诸脑后。 At this time saw his expression, Steward Song Kai hands over only the present in that side, soon after smiled: „Old Master, Mister Qin resigns from office has several years, but north recently heard the situation to be complex, the Jin and Liao dispute is frequent, in Imperial Deliberation Hall also has to make Mister Qin turn round the sound, Old Master felt, Mister Qin can recover?” 这时候见他表情,管家宋开在那边将礼品单递过来,随后笑了笑:“老爷,秦公辞官已有数年,但近日听闻北地局势复杂,金辽纷争频繁,朝堂之中又有让秦公复起之声,老爷觉得,秦公可会复出吗？” Song Mao shakes the head, stops the moment just now to speak: „Feared that is very difficult, Master Qin departed on the same day, the situation is complex. Black Water Treaty, a Master Qin shoulder receives all responsibility for an offense, actually carries black pot for others, if the common matter said but actually fortunately, but, by the situation recent, feared that was turns round difficultly......” 宋茂摇了摇头,停了片刻方才说话:“怕是很难,秦师当日离去,其中情况复杂。黑水之盟,秦师一肩承下所有罪责,其实是为其他人背下黑锅的,若是一般的事情倒还好说,不过,以最近几年的形势来说,怕是复起困难了……” Wu Dynasty national strength to decline (over time), near the Liao person suspect, Wu Dynasty has summed in recent centuries two times, the treaty of signing is, 65 years ago Tan Yuan Treaty that the manner denounces lose dignity and have the country insulted, almost delimited Wu Dynasty to take back the wills and possibilities of You Yun 16 provinces, by six years ago the annual tribute that in Black Water Treaty, needs to be paid was almost enhanced about one time, delimited a blade on the hearts of many patriot ruthlessly. 武朝近百年来国力积弱,辽人一直犯边,武朝先后两次求和,签订的条约都是为人所诟病的,六十五年前的檀渊之盟丧权辱国,几乎划断了武朝收回幽云十六州的意志和可能,到六年前黑水之盟中,需要被缴纳的岁币几乎被提高了近一倍有余,更是在众多爱国人士的心上狠狠地划了一刀。 At that time the Liao (distant) army went south, this, no matter what Ministry of Personnel High Official Qin Siyuan advocates strongly the resistance, even went in person the frontline to supervise combat, but the frontline several fought the unfavorable situation afterward, the peace advocation group is in the upper hand, after deciding to negotiate peace, it is said somewhat dejected Qin Siyuan from hurrying back that the frontline starry night travelled at double speed, received the mission of peace negotiation. 当时辽军南下,本任吏部尚书的秦嗣源是力主抵抗的,甚至亲赴前线督战,但后来前线几战失利,主和派占了上风,决定议和之后,据说有些心灰意冷的秦嗣源又自前线星夜兼程的赶回来,接下了议和的使命。 It is said on the same day he stepped onto the throne room the battle dress has not escaped, the beard and hair is all chaotic, clothes armor broke several, the scorched by fire, in the hand is also injured, it seems like it is extremely solemn and stirring, the people also think that he must admonish by the loathsome appearance, at that time succeeded to the throne one year of government authorities to make one to hold on him hastily, who knows his by no means to oppose, takes under a shoulder load to negotiate peace unexpectedly this doing a thankless job matter. 据说当日他走上金銮殿时身上战袍未脱,须发皆乱,衣甲破了几处,烟熏火燎的,手上也受了伤,看来极其悲壮,众人还以为他要以死相谏,当时才继位一年的官家连忙叫人拉住他,谁知他并不是要反对,竟是要一肩担下议和这种吃力不讨好的事情。 At that time above Imperial Deliberation Hall naturally also had various oppositions, said that he supervised combat disadvantageously in the frontline, how can also undertake the responsibility of peace negotiation, clearly wants to create difficulties, destruction peace talk. However understands slightly some generally also understands that several unfavorable situations are not this continuously for civil official the responsibility of High Official, this matter discussed two days later, the responsibility that above will really negotiate peace unexpectedly gave him. 当时朝堂之上自然也有各种反对之声,说他在前线督战不利,如何还能承担议和之责,分明是想从中作梗,破坏和议。不过稍懂一些的大抵也明白那几场失利并非是这位一直为文官的尚书之责,这事情商议了两天之后,上面竟真将议和的责任交给了他。 soon after Black Water Treaty, the fragments numerous in addition, the annual tribute almost turns time, but considering the Wu Dynasty condition, Liao person complied with money cloth deficiency, can the ceramics, rare curio and other types of goods balance. At this time a Tan Yuan Treaty already passed This, Liao Nation was developed, were also many to demand already of these goods. After the peace talks achieve, although the government authorities had not handled his meaning at that time, but Qin Siyuan is dejected, firmly, although a strength resists got down many responsibility for an offense of the military loss as well as peace negotiation, the day closed/pass after January/one month, is emitted, but resigns from official life to go low-spirited, afterward his native place had not returned, only said: „This is the eternity infamy, sees the hometown folks without the face.” Then lives in seclusion in Jiangning. Until the present , the superposition has not gotten up. 随后黑水之盟,零零总总的加起来,岁币几乎翻倍,不过考虑到武朝的状况,辽人答应了金钱布帛不足之处,可以陶瓷、珍玩等各种物品相抵。这时候檀渊之盟已经过了一个甲子,辽国发达,对这些物品的需求也已经多了起来。和谈达成之后,虽然当时官家并没有处置他的意思,但秦嗣源心灰意冷,一力抗下了战事失利以及议和的多项罪责,天牢关了一月之后虽被放出,但还是黯然挂冠而去,后来他连老家都未回,只称:“此为千古骂名,无颜见家乡父老。”便在江宁隐居。直到如今,也未被复起。 „...... Feared is even if above really makes Master Qin resurface, by the Master Qin state of mind, in...... will not become an official for these years again.” Song Mao is thinking, so shakes the head, in car(riage) peaceful moment, that side Song Kai remembers anything, lowered the sound. “……怕是就算上面真让秦师复出,以秦师心境,这几年内……也是不会再出山了。”宋茂想着,如此摇了摇头,车内安静片刻,那边的宋开想起什么,压低了声音。 „Old Master, heard that Mister Qin the management ability was extremely strong in the past, at many things it seems like not bothers about trifles, actually nobody dares to censure by this matter in him. In recent years the Jin and Liao dispute does not rest, the villain also hears some views, said in the past Black Water Treaty, was considering the past Jin Nation day was abundant, to Liao Nation requested repeatedly the trade power was unsuccessful, therefore the design used a lot of luxury goods as the bait, provoked the two countries dispute. The Black Water Treaty front several years, among martial gold/metal then has the black market trade flow, six years ago after Black Water Treaty signs, Imperial Court presents tribute to Liao Nation incessantly, even ships out large number of chinaware rare curios secretly, is flows in Jin Nation as for the rouge cosmetic, there is a view, in government authorities' chose one batch to send out palace thing. But the second year, half......” “老爷,听说秦公当年办事能力极强,许多事情上看来不拘小节,却从来无人敢以此事非议于他。近几年金辽纷争不歇,小人也听到一些说法,说当年黑水之盟,便是考虑着当年金国日盛,多次向辽国请求贸易权未果,于是设计以大量奢侈品为饵,挑动两国纷争。黑水之盟前面几年,武金之间便有黑市贸易流通,六年前黑水之盟签订后,朝廷不止向辽国纳贡,甚至偷偷运出大量瓷器珍玩,乃至于胭脂水粉流入金国,也有说法,官家将宫廷中的物件都选了一批送出。而第二年,半之……” Song Mao knits the brows: „Who did this matter listen to say?” 宋茂皱了皱眉:“此事听何人所说？” „In family/home Fourth Young Master once discussed this matter, resembling is Fourth Young Master oneself speculation......” “家中四少爷曾与人议论此事,似是四少爷本人的推测……” „Fourth Child.” Song Mao sighed, „took strength of the country to instigate as the chip, such idea really extremely indulged in fantasy, flatter returned ignores a proper occupation, all day in only thinks blindly......, but regardless of whether true or false, do not mention with others.” “老四。”宋茂叹了口气,“以一国之力为筹码挑拨,此等想法实在太过异想天开,阿回不务正业,整日里只会瞎想……但无论是真是假,勿要与他人说起。” „Villain understands.” “小人明白。” During the speeches, the carriage had also arrived in the goal place. Must say that Song Mao and Qin Siyuan are not the true masters and disciples status, but Qin Siyuan managed Ministry of Personnel in the past, Song Mao established some relations afterward, after the opposite party leaves office, because although the Black Water Treaty reason has many people no longer to have the relation with Qin Siyuan, so long as comes Jiangning, Song Mao that always attended to every detail will hold the ritual of disciple to come. 说话之间,马车也已抵达了目的地。要说起来宋茂与秦嗣源并非是真正的师徒身份,只是秦嗣源当年管吏部,宋茂后来搭上一些关系,对方离任之后,虽然因为黑水之盟的原因有许多人不再与秦嗣源有联系,但只要来江宁,一向面面俱到的宋茂都会执弟子之礼过来一趟。 In his life maxim, improving on perfection to might as well give opportune help, Qin Siyuan two sons now also in government, although now also in four below, but Qin Siyuan took the rap for one large crowd initially, has his background in this, some day may be used by the government authorities very much. Especially several years later will look at a period of time situation, Qin Siyuan the superposition will get up may have. 在他的人生格言中,锦上添花不如雪中送炭,秦嗣源的两个儿子如今也在官场,虽然如今还在四品以下,但秦嗣源当初替一大批人背了黑锅,有他的背景在这,异日很有可能被官家大用。特别是看最近一段时间的情况,秦嗣源过几年被复起的可能也不是没有。 After living in seclusion Jiangning, place by no means of Qin Siyuan housing is luxurious, simple scholar courtyard nothing more, Song Mao holds the ritual of disciple to deliver the calling card, before long was then invited. soon after discovered, here already had another guest, before this well-dressed old man Song Mao, has not seen, but wants to come the status to be uncommon, later Old Qin one introduced, Song Mao understands the opposite party status. 隐居江宁之后,秦嗣源居住的地方并不奢华,一个简简单单的书香院落而已,宋茂执弟子之礼送上名帖,不一会儿便被邀请了进去。随后才发现,这里已经有了另一名客人,这衣着华丽的老者宋茂之前未有见过,但想来身份不凡,之后秦老一番介绍,宋茂才明白对方身份。 Cheng Princess emperor's son-in-law Kang Xian Kang Mingyun, this old person, although not Imperial Deliberation Hall, but he is now Imperial Ruler Uncle-in-Law, in the literary world prestige heyday, can know with him, regarding being an official oneself, naturally is also a big help, pays respect by the ritual of disciple hastily. 成国公主驸马康贤康明允,这位老人虽不涉朝堂,但他是当今圣上的姑父,在文坛声誉极盛,能够与他结识,对于当官的自己,自然也是一大助益,连忙以弟子之礼参拜。 Old Qin usually does not have many relations with this disciple, but he came for these years every year, at this time naturally also displayed kindly, his and Kang Xian is enjoying some calligraphies and paintings, at this time then drew happening to present Song Mao to come together, Song Mao also feels extremely flattered suddenly, but he, although has the talent, compared nevertheless to miss with these two, does not dare to interrupt randomly, but stood in attendance respectful and prudent, listening to two people to discuss talks, occasionally inquired about him, he opened the mouth to reply, in the heart thought several days to be able on Cheng Princess Residence pays a call one. 秦老与这个弟子平日是没有多少关系的,不过这几年他每年都来,这时候当然也表现得亲切,他本与康贤在赏些字画,这时候便拉了适逢其会的宋茂一块过来,宋茂一时间也是受宠若惊,不过他虽有才华,与这两人比起来却是差了许多,不敢乱插嘴,只是恭谨地侍立一旁,听两人议论交谈,偶尔问及他,他才开口回答,心中想着过几日可以去成国公主府上拜会一趟了。 Also in the such atmosphere, outside hears the sound of footsteps, soon after nevertheless Mister Qin concubine Lady Yun sound: „They then enjoy the picture in the study room, Young Master goes in is...... Uh, this is......” Old Qin and Kang Xian is studying a scroll, sees only Kang Xian carefully looked, while spoke thoughtlessly saying: „unexpectedly came, really does not know that has the what kind of thing can make Old Man surprised......” Old Qin then to smile. soon after, but saw some people to shove open the unlatched door, walked. 也是在这样的气氛当中,外面传来脚步声,随后却是秦公小妾芸娘的声音:“他们便在书房赏画呢,公子进去便是……呃,这是……”秦老与康贤正在研究着一副长卷,只见康贤一边仔细看,一边随口说道:“倒是来了,真不知有何等物件能令老夫吃惊的……”秦老便笑了起来。随后,但见有人推开了虚掩的房门,走了进来。 This person wants to come is very ripe with Kang , Qin, saw only him to wear the from head to toe azure long gown, in the hand nevertheless raised a jug, what making Song Mao surprised was, coming the person to only have 20 -year-old over appearances unexpectedly. That person comes, was smiling the wants to say words, sees Song Mao, was faint gawked staring, Song Mao thought that this probably was the child nephew generation of Kang , Qin, will introduce oneself, Old Qin already opens the mouth. 这人想来与康、秦两人也很熟了,只见他穿一身青色长袍,手上却是提了一只坛子,令得宋茂吃惊的是,来人竟只有二十岁出头的模样。那人进来,原本笑着想要说话,看见宋茂,也是微微愣了愣,宋茂心想这大概是康、秦二人的子侄辈,正要自我介绍,秦老已经开了口。 „Haha, Liheng you may come, sees to see, this was Old Man in the past the disciple, Song Mao, Song Yufan......” “哈哈,立恒你可来了,来见见来见见,这位乃是老夫当年弟子,宋茂,宋予繁……” That young person cups one hand in the other across the chest with a smile: „Brother Song, fortunate meeting.” 那年轻人笑着一拱手:“宋兄,幸会。” soon after, Song Mao hears Old Qin saying: „Yufan, this was I and Enlightened Mister little friend......” he is saying, „Ning Yi, Ning Liheng.” 随后,宋茂听得秦老说道:“予繁,此乃我与明公小友……”他说着,“宁毅,宁立恒。” Song Mao pupil faint changes, immediately shows the plain smile: „Is it possible that is Young Master Ning...... then that When will the moon be clear and bright? Ning Yi Ning Liheng? Haha, well met.” 宋茂瞳孔微微一变,随即露出质朴的笑容:“宁公子……莫非便是那明月几时有的宁毅宁立恒？哈哈,久仰。” Several exchanged greetings, soon after, then saw Kang Xian to speak with that Ning Yi at will: „Just now did not say that some good things to bring, is it possible that then in this jug?” 几句寒暄,随后,便见康贤与那宁毅随意地说起话来:“方才不是说有些好东西拿来,莫非便在这坛子里？” „Haha, nature.” Ning Yi puts on that jug the table conveniently, „just right Brother Song also, today then tastes this Century Egg together......” “哈哈,自然。”宁毅将那坛子随手放到桌上,“正好宋兄也在,今日便一块尝尝这松花蛋……” Kang Xian faint stares, soon after as if somewhat does not know whether to laugh or cry shakes the head: „Old Man is just now also thinking fortunately is the what kind of novel thing, cannot think that is some eats. The Ning Yi boy, this matter may not be Old Man boasted, now under the heavens, Old Man has not eaten has seen the dessert food to be possible is not really many, your today feared that must have ugly...... Oh, this seems like the salty duck egg, although the appearance is different, so the souse comes out, nothing but is the salty duck egg, is it possible that you can pickle one to spend inadequately......” 康贤微微一愣,随后似乎有些哭笑不得地摇头:“亏得老夫方才还想着是何等新奇事物,想不到是些吃食。宁毅小子,此事可并非老夫自夸,当今天下,老夫未曾吃过见过的点心菜肴可真不多,你今日怕是要出点丑了……哦,这看来像是咸鸭蛋,虽然样子不一样,如此腌制出来,也无非是咸鸭蛋,你莫非能腌出一朵花来不成……” Ning Yi smiles: „Then was pickles a flower to make you have a look......” 宁毅笑起来:“便是腌出了一朵花来让你看看……” Song Mao regarding sweet egg salted egg anything have little interest, he situated in Provincial Governor, has also restricted before these two now. At this time looks that several people chatted, soon after that concubine Lady Yun carried a basin clear water from outside, took several tablewares to come, unexpectedly also with the appearance that Ning Yi quite knew extremely well, is thinking the today conceals saw, in the heart still shocked continues...... 宋茂对于甜蛋咸蛋什么的都没有多大兴趣,他如今位居知州,在这两人面前也是一直拘束。此时看着几人说笑,随后那小妾芸娘从外面端了一盆清水,拿了几副碗筷进来,竟也是与宁毅颇为熟稔的样子,想着今日藏所见,心中兀自震撼不止……
