New Dream of Red Mansions

Xiangling was almost obsessed with studying poetry with Daiyu. Many people watched the fun, and even Xiyan sighed, "After such a hard work, I will not worry about it."

Tanchun laughed and said, "When will Sister Yan come up with such a skill, we used to only ask you to read poems, but you prefer those miscellaneous biographies, and you haven't written a few good poems in these years."

Xiyan smiled and said, "Who said I don't like reading poems? I've read all these collections of poems in Sister Lin's hands, but I'm not as good as you, so I only read them a few times and memorized them."

Baoyu said: "You are also modest, so how did you read those subsets of classics and history? Remembering is more laborious than me. It can be seen that you are lying."

"What I want to read poetry is that kind of sentiment and feeling. After reading it, I will naturally forget the words and sentences. When I read a collection of classics and history, what I read is the truth and stories in it. After reading it, I will remember it in my heart."

Baochai smiled and said, "This is great wisdom." He glanced at Baoyu and said, "If you can have such a feeling, coupled with Xiangling's diligence, why can't you do it?"

Baoyu's face was slightly cold, and he turned his head away.

Baochai sighed, shook her head, and said nothing more.

After the third day of March, the flowers in the garden fell one after another, and Daiyu inevitably felt sad, so she took a flower hoe to bury the fallen flowers. flowers plucked.

Seeing the garden full of red, white and pink flowers floating all over the ground, I glanced at the ground and sighed: "It should be picked on the third day of March. The peach blossoms are the best at that time, whether it is making peach blossom wine or peach blossoms. Powder, even peach blossom water, is excellent."

Only then did Daiyu look back at Xiyan, seeing that she had half a basket of peach blossoms in her basket, she laughed angrily: "I want to bury the flowers, but you want to pick them, you really are my nemesis."

Xiyan laughed and said, "Then how will sister be treated?"

"Naturally, they were collected and buried, which counts as their belongings..."

Xiyan sighed, and said, "Why bother?" Xiyan thought for a while and said, "What do you think this flower's long-cherished wish is?"

Daiyu frowned, and asked softly, "Does this flower still have a long-cherished wish?"

"Of course there are. I think everything in the world has an original wish, and they are not far from each other. It is to be useful! This person is happy to be useful to society, and flowers are the same. It is true that my sister buried flowers under the tree. It is better to leave them on the ground and be trampled by others. Gong Zizhen's "Miscellaneous Poems of Ji Hai" once said that "Luohong is not a ruthless thing, it can be turned into spring mud to protect the flowers." What's more, the flowers have been favored by the tree for a long time. So my sister’s doing this can be regarded as their gratitude. But with them, it’s just a small use.”

Daiyu laughed and said, "Then what is their great use?"

Xiyan raised her hand, "Of course I picked it up to make peach blossom tea, peach blossom wine, and peach blossom snacks!" Seeing Daiyu's disbelieving expression, Xiyan said, "Look, I used It has been used for so many purposes, and I will definitely be grateful for it. At that time, I will take extra care of this peach tree, which is considered to be repaying its kindness. In addition, I will give these things to others, so there is such a thing. Many people have benefited from it, so isn’t it really useful?” Seeing that Daiyu listened carefully, Xiyan continued, “What’s more, this peach blossom is a good medicine, as it was said in Compendium of Materia Medica A person’s complexion is moisturized, water vapor is removed, urinary calculi are broken, urine is relieved, three worms are removed, swelling is relieved, and bad breath is released. In fact, this person is also the same, and it is also divided into useless, small and large functions, it all depends on how you use it gone."

Speaking of this, Xiyan sighed, "It's just that people in the world often don't understand, that's why there are so many misunderstandings and regrets."

Daiyu looked puzzled, "What do you mean?"

"Just take this matter as an example. My sister buried the flower because she didn't understand it. It was for small use, but that idiot Baoyu just sprinkled the flower in the water. It's not good for anything. No more? (And it pollutes the environment) And I use it to make a big use of it, so it’s not that the flower itself is useless, but to see if the person who uses the flower will use it, and it’s the same with people. Useless people, but to see whether the employing people will be useful, this is a university question."

Daiyu sneered, "You're making random arrangements again."

Xiyan smiled secretly, Daiyu was in a low mood these days, so it is natural to pull her out of such a mood, and she is not talking nonsense, this is what is said in modern human resources management, I think I did not want to take this certificate back then. It's so dark and dark, if I don't remember a little bit, I'm too sorry for myself.

Xiyan rolled her eyes, "Where did I arrange it? Not to mention other things, there are two existing examples. One is Wei Zhi, the former governor of Jiangsu, and the current censor, and the other is Mo Youyong, the governor of Hubei. This Wei Zhi is A well-known upright official, but this Mo Youyong is a well-known corrupt official, sister, tell me, if the two of them are to be the commander-in-chief of the river, would it be better for Wei Zhi or Mo Youyong?"

"That goes without saying, it's natural to be an upright official."

Wang Xiyan shook her head slightly, "I think except for those foolish people, most people hope that Mo Youyong will be the general soldier of the river."

"Why is that?"

Xiyan led Daiyu to sit on the stone next to him and said, "Although Wei Zhi is an upright official, he is too rigid and doesn't know how to be flexible. In order to heal the embankment before the flood season in Jiangsu, he wanted to ask the soldiers in Jiangsu to help him. Some of the money for river control was taken out to manage the river. In order to pay the wages, he had to use the money prepared for disaster relief from above. However, Wei Zhi found out about it, he tied Zhang He without saying a word, took the silver back to the warehouse, went to the table to participate in Zhang He, put Zhang He in prison, and soon, even Zhang He Escorted to Beijing."

"What's wrong with this? He is an upright official, so he wants to deal with corrupt officials?"

Xiyan shook her head, "The work on this river is very complicated, and it will not be clear for a while. We don't care whether the river is a corrupt official or not. We just talk about Wei Zhi's actions. At that time, it was the key to river governance. Even if Zhang He is really corrupt, he should keep him. It is important to control the river first, but he ignored the people of Liangjiang and insisted on escorting Zhang He to Beijing. That Zhang He stayed in Jiangsu for ten years. Before entering Beijing, he said that the embankment would not last long, but Wei Zhi insisted on doing it, thinking that the water would not be blocked, and it would be the simplest. As a result, two rivers flooded that year. Water has separated many wives and families... What's more, that Zhang He didn't put money in his own pocket, it was just a measure of profit. It's just a pity that Wei Zhi took advantage of this incident to become the imperial censor of the capital, and Zhang He But he became a prisoner."

Xiyan has a deep memory of this incident. Back then her father Wang Zifei was seriously ill, and when he heard the news, he spit out a mouthful of blood. After that, he endured his illness and got up overnight to go to the study. At that time, she was full of worries about him. She knew it as soon as the light came on, but she didn't go there because there were a few people guarding outside, and she never saw those people again.

Now, although she is not very clear about Wang Zifei's occupation, she probably has a guess in her heart. Afterwards, Wang Zifei felt very guilty, and his face was very ugly when he talked about it with her.

Xiyan could tell that Wang Zifei didn't like Wei Zhi, but he admired Zhang He very much, but he might still be squatting in prison, right?

"Could it be that Wei Zhi is hiding a traitor?" Daiyu frowned and said, "This man is abominable."

Xiyan shook her head and said: "There is no way to verify these things except for the person involved. I don't know if he is hiding a traitor, but I don't like him just based on this matter. I said that he is still sympathetic." Well, then Mo Youyong pointed at his nose and called him out for fame, although I think so too..."

Daiyu looked at her in surprise, and saw her shining eyes blink, Xiyan smiled and said: "My sister guessed right, I really like Mo Youyong more, then Mo Youyong is also related to the river course Yes, I heard that he made up his mind to heal the Yellow River since he was a child."

"He used to be a very honest and upright official, but the matter on the river, alas~~ He learned to behave after being dismissed once. He once said to others that since there are no officials on the river who are not corrupt, then it is still a good idea." It’s better if I’m greedy with others, if I’m not greedy, I can’t do things for the people, if I’m greedy, I can still do things for the people wholeheartedly, it’s better than others who are greedy and don’t do things for the people.”

"Later, when he became governor of Hubei, he turned a blind eye to the people under him. As long as it wasn't too much, he wouldn't care about it. Some people respected him and helped him with everything he was asked to do. So everyone says he is a corrupt official." Xi Yan sighed: "In fact, he is much less corrupt than other people, but he was dismissed because he was too clean, but now he has become a corrupt official. , so the people scolded him, but if the Holy Majesty replaced Hubei with another governor, the people in Hubei would be reluctant, because he really did things for the people wholeheartedly. After he arrived in Hubei, the river administration and civil administration there were greatly improved. That’s why the common people love and hate him when they mention him!”

Xiyan recalled the scene when Wang Zifei mentioned this person, and said in a low voice: "I think that if this Wei Zhi is in a position such as participating in politics or in the river course, it will not only be of no benefit to the people, but will be harmful instead. He is a useful person, but a person like Mo Youyong is a person of great use in people's livelihood. Sister must remember that a person's contribution should not only be based on a momentary right or wrong, but should list their advantages and disadvantages. What are their achievements and how much are their crimes?"

Xiyan saw that the topic had been diverted away, and Daiyu was thinking about what she said was right or wrong, so she stopped disturbing her and just took a small basket to pick the bright flowers.

But Xiyan didn't know that the court was now arguing about Wei Zhi Zhang He Mo Youyong.

Wei Zhi stood in the middle of the court hall with a blushing neck and said loudly: "If Zhang He is released, where will my law of Dashui be placed? Your Majesty, Zhang He's greed for Jiangsu's disaster relief money is really a heinous crime." , the Supreme Emperor just locked this person in prison as a kindness, how can he release this person?"

The author has something to say: The predecessor of the Qing Dynasty was Dajin. I don’t want to use the title of Qing Dynasty, because it is too substituting, and people can’t help but think of those emperors and princes. not good!

But Jin’s country name is too minority-specific, and it’s not good. I worry about it. I’ve been worrying about the country’s name since planning, because if the country’s name is not sure, many conversations will lose momentum. , very frustrating.

I just want a synonym for Qing, but unfortunately, Du Niang told me that the synonym for Qing is "clean", okay, I turned around silently.

I just thought that synonyms are not good, so what is the original intention of taking the country name?So I asked Du Niang, why did Huang Taiji change Da Jin to Da Qing?

Du Niang said: "It is said that Huang Taiji's father, Nurhachi, exhausted his beloved horse Daqing during a quick march. The name of the country is set as Daqing.'

So Huang Taiji, as his son, named the country Daqing. "The parentheses behind it said that Huang Taiji actually thought that the national title of Dajin was too strong for ethnic minorities. He changed the national title to tell the world that he is not only the sweat of the Manchus, but also Mongolians, Han people, and everyone in the world. People sweat profusely.

I turned my head silently and decided to ask Du Niang, why did Nurhachi take the title of Dajin?You can't change it from your son, but you can always change it from Lao Tzu, right?

Du Niang told me that because Nurhaci said that the Liao used iron as its name, whichever was stronger. Although iron is strong, it will eventually deteriorate, but gold remains unchanged.

Then I thought, the strongest and strongest thing in the world is water, water, the most soft thing, but it can break through the strong without breaking. Is there anything better than this in the world?

The answer was no, so a certain orange arbitrarily decided that the title of the country in the book was Shui, Dashui, Dashui!

Why do I have the urge to cover my face and fall to the ground?
