It was winter and night fell early. Although it was just past You hour, the house was already a little dim and you needed to use the light to see clearly.

Along the way, the cold wind whistled, the raindrops fell on the hat and the straw raincoat slammed.

Zheng Changsheng was led by his mother and came to the entrance of the school located at the junction of the west entrance of the village and Fangjia Village.

The fenced courtyard looks a little lonely in the wind and rain.

He pushed open the bamboo courtyard door and walked in along the path paved with blue bricks.

Next to the road, the plum blossoms are proudly on the branches, fragrant and fragrant. On the pink petals, crystal clear raindrops are sliding down mischievously.

Plum, orchid, bamboo, chrysanthemum and plum are the first of the four gentlemen. Usually, literati and elegant people love their lonely and elegant beauty.

Plum, pine and bamboo are also known as the three friends of the cold. In the severe cold, plum blossoms are the first to bloom and spring.

In traditional Chinese culture, it also uses its noble, strong and humble character to inspire people to strive for their determination and work hard.

The Master's full name was Lu Fan, and his courtesy name was Mocun. He was also a literati Gao Shi. Hongwu in the Ming Dynasty was established and the Han family was restored.

The cowherd Zhu Yuanzhang ascended the throne and became emperor, respecting Confucianism and Taoism, so he asked him to come out of the mountain to learn from children, teach the sages, and educate the country's talents.

Zeng En ordered him to send the center to the point of age and decline, and finally received this errand work like a leisurely cloud and wild crane.

If he hadn't become more than 70 years old and had no intention of looking for scholars, he might have been in the court early.

In the cottage, there was an oil lamp and a game of chess, and there were two or three people sitting on each other.

Two people talked with each other, and one watched.

The match with Master is a middle-aged scholar in blue shirt with his beard twisted in his hands and was in deep thought.

A little boy was sitting next to him, about ten years old, pouring tea and water from time to time, serving him, but Zheng Changsheng didn't know him.

It should be the boy brought by a middle-aged scholar. Because the Master was fed by one person and raised by a hundred families, he had long been known to all women and children in the village, and he had never heard of anyone serving him.

Today it was Zheng Changsheng's turn to provide food. The Master asked the old patriarch to find Li Xiuying in advance and said, "If you have friends coming from afar, you can wait for the farmhouse wine and serve them home-cooked vegetables."

How could the Master’s friends come here? How could they eat and eat? How could Li Xiuying be willing?

Even if other families deliver food to their masters, they will not be perfunctory. They will devote the best food in their homes.

This also shows the simplicity of the people here and the respect for the Master.

Li Xiuying holds dozens of coins of wealth in her hand and has a desire for the Master, so of course she can't be careless and hasty.

The wine is a Zuixian wine bought from Jinning County. It is served with wine, with cooked pork belly, and fragrant chicken, plus two seasonal vegetables. It is served in a carved food box.

In her eyes, the Master was already an unattainable saint. The Master’s friend should be a great scholar who is well-read in poetry and books. How could he treat him with ordinary vulgarity?

My son studied at home all day and went to school to ask the Master for teaching from time to time. Although his son had not yet joined the Master, he was no different from his formal disciples.

The Master said that even in school, there is not necessarily a good idea to study at home. He also said: It is up to the person to lead the master to practice. A person’s knowledge does not depend on how much the master teaches, but on how much he understands himself.

In addition, there are many children in the school and they have to take care of the majority, so Zheng Changsheng cannot take care of both of them.

It’s better to practice at home and come to the school for advice if you have any questions.

Therefore, today, according to the instructions of the old patriarch, he brought his son to the school with the purpose of asking his son to ask for advice from his Master and Master's friends.

At the same time, she also deliberately asked her son to show his knowledge and give a lot of advice to the great scholars.

She came with some thoughts, and she really felt sorry for her parents in the world.

The arrival of Zheng Changsheng and his son did not affect the game between the Master and the Qingshan scholar.

The Master just nodded and smiled. Li Xiuying put down the food box and pulled her son to stand by and watch.

It seems that the chess game has reached a critical point, and the two of them have a serious expression and have been pondering for a long time every time they have a son.

This game should be black and white. The Master plays white and has lost half of his eye depending on the situation.

Zheng Changsheng has learned Go. Although he is an amateur chess player and his chess skills are not very advanced, he can still see the winner and loser.

Master Lu Fan pondered for a moment, put down the chess piece in his hand and laughed: "Brother Keqin's attainments are different now. I feel ashamed of myself. I am convinced by this defeat to you."

The middle-aged scholar bowed and said with a smile: "Brother Mocun, Luozi seems to be walking in the garden, but he is mysterious every step. I am very impressed! If I hadn't had enough energy today, I would not lose to the bottom. It would be a victory that would be unfair."

He turned his head and said to the boy beside him, "Did Xiaoru and my son realize that Master Yiliu is a little bit like this?"

The boy stood up and bowed and said, "Father, the child is dull, the master Yili is unfathomable, and only understands a little bit."

The father and son, each question and answer, was elegant and orderly.

Li Xiuying was stunned for a moment. She was really a great scholar! Even the children taught so humble and respectful that she envied the boy.

At the same time, I also feel a little inferior. The knowledge of half a bottle of water taught my son has really delayed the growth of his child.

If such a great Confucian scholar teaches his son, he will become a great man in time with his intelligence.

Her little thoughts were beyond the eyes of the Master. He originally wanted Li Xiuying to bring his son to recommend Zheng Changsheng today.

He is old, so he can teach a few naughty boys and read a lot of words, but if he really needs to work hard to teach students, his energy is really not enough.

He liked Zheng Changsheng a child very much, but he was so confused that he really didn't have the energy to teach.

Today, I invited my old friends to come to discuss the school issue. The top priority is Zheng Changsheng.

There is also those who shouldn't have delivered food to Li Xiuying. He specially arranged for the old patriarch to inform him and told him to bring the child brother to come.

It is to explain it to old friends.

He took Zheng Changsheng's hand and said to the Qingshan Wenshi, "Brother Keqin, what are you thinking about? Brother Yu is old and wants to return to his hometown to support him, but he is worried.

If my brother takes over my brother Yu and spreads the saint's subtle words and righteousness, then I will have no regrets when I leave!"

The middle-aged young scholar in the shirt was silent for a long time and glanced at Zheng Changsheng and said, "Is it the one who is worried about me? Why do you think so highly of such a young child?"

Master Kong Fan smiled: "Brother Fang still remember what I said when I invited you in the letter a few months ago?"

The name Fang Keqin exploded in Zheng Changsheng's mind. He was a great scholar in the late Yuan Dynasty and early Ming Dynasty. His ancestors were Confucian scholars for three generations. In the fourth year of Zhizheng in the Yuan Dynasty, he participated in the provincial examination and used strategies to directly discuss the general trend of the world and political gains and losses. He was taboo by the examiner and dared not accept it.

For a time, his reputation became great and was highly praised by Confucian scholars of Han.
