Chapter 4 Clan Brother Zhao Sheng

Early next morning.

The sky is dark and bright.

The biological clock developed over many days woke up Zhao Yue.

Ah~

Zhao Yue stretched out and found that Xi Xiang, who slept with him last night, had long since disappeared, leaving only the fragrance of a woman on the bed.

Zhao Yue slept very comfortably last night and even had an erotic dream at night.

Xixiang has a plump figure, and the feel is really good!

"Mr. Lang."

Xixiang had already prepared hot water for Zhao Yue in a copper basin to cleanse his face. She looked at Zhao Yue with a look of resentment on her face. Unlike Zhao Yue who slept comfortably at night, she had been up all night last night. Now, I felt even more uneasy in my heart.

She didn't understand why Zhao Yue didn't just eat her up when they were sleeping in the same bed. Instead, he only tried to move his hands up and down, but stopped taking action when the critical step was reached.

Don't you like yourself?

Or is it that Lang Jun likes child molesters like Zhao Zhong?

Xixiang was worried about gains and losses for a while.

If Zhao Yue knew about Xi Xiang's thoughts, he might have vomited out the rice porridge he drank this morning.

After a little exercise, Zhao Yue went to the study room in the small courtyard.

Xixiang had been grinding aside for a long time. Zhao Zhong stood in front of the door. Behind him were maids and slaves carrying pen holders, pen holders, ink beds, ink cartridges, arm rests, pen washers, book pens, water dispensers, water spoons, and inkstones. , inkstone boxes, ink pads, printing boxes, cutters, stamps, rolls and other items are just waiting for Zhao Yue's orders!

Yumi's large ink melts, and a kind of ink fragrance permeates the air.

This large Yumi ink, rich in texture and texture, as lustrous as lacquer, was produced at the foot of Zhongnan Mountain. Due to the chaos in the north, it became even more precious.

The production process of good ink is extremely complicated:

Use good tobacco, pound it finely, and sift it; add one pound of tobacco powder and five ounces of good glue, soak it in ash bark juice, add five egg whites, and pound one pound of vermilion and two ounces of musk and rhinoceros into a fine mixture. Put it into the iron mortar and pound it thirty thousand times. Each ingot of ink should not exceed two or three taels. It is better to be small than large.

After the ink melted, Xixiang had already unfolded the rattan paper.

Rattan paper has a soft texture, yellowish color, strong water absorption, and is suitable for ink writing. It is produced along the Yan River in Shengxian County.

Earthen paper cannot be used for writing, so rattan paper must be used.

The so-called native paper refers to ordinary hemp paper and mulberry paper. Rattan paper is regarded as the top grade of paper in Jiangzuo and is sought after by aristocratic families. Of course, the price is also extremely high.

With his hair stained with ink, Zhao Yue began copying scriptures and practicing calligraphy.

Wang Xizhi's cursive calligraphy was specially studied by Zhao Yue in later generations. Practice more now and it will come in handy at critical moments.

Of course, while practicing calligraphy in his hands, Zhao Yue's thoughts were wandering.

He really couldn't let go of this teaching.

Why is the Gaomen family called the Gaomen family?

There must be scriptures passed down from generation to generation, which can monopolize the right to interpret the classics.

For example, why did the Yang family of Hongnong in the late Han Dynasty and the Yuan family of Runan be able to have four generations and three dukes?

The classic family biography of the Yang family in Hongnong is "Ouyang Shangshu", while the classic family biography of the Yuan family in Runan is "Mengshi Yi".

Both families are descendants of the fourth generation and the third prince, which is precisely because the classics passed down in the family are the Five Classics.

This can also be said to be the sign of a top-notch noble family.

Anyone who comes to study the Five Classics, as long as they have studied Ouyang Shangshu, can be said to be a disciple of the Hongnong Yang family, and anyone who has studied the "Mengshi Yi" can be said to be a disciple of the Yuan family.

The outstanding ones can directly become officials through the Hongnong Yang family or the Runan Yuan family, and the Hongnong Yang family and the Runan Yuan family can also increase their influence through these top students.

This is a positive feedback process.

The gentry who monopolized the right to interpret the Five Classics also indirectly monopolized the path to officialdom.

The Langya Wang family has become the number one family in the world now, and is known as "the king and the horse share the world".

In addition to meritorious service, could it be because of Langya Wang's study of scriptures?

Ji, the ancestor of the Langya Wang family, "had a keen interest in studying the Ming Dynasty when he was young." He was "commonly proficient in the Five Classics, and could teach the Spring and Autumn Annals for Zuo family in the Poetry and the Analects of Confucius. He was fond of Liang Qiuhe's lecture on the Book of Changes, which impressed Zijun."

Wang Ji not only mastered the Five Classics himself, but also ordered his descendants to learn from it.

Especially now, when the Eastern Jin Dynasty was founded, when the "military march was not over", Wang Dao wrote to Sima Rui that "the foundation of a man's moral conduct lies in correct human relations, and the correct existence of human relations lies in the establishment of Xiangxu. The establishment of Xiangxu, the Five Teachings, and the ethics and etiquette

Qiaotong, Yi and Lun are united, but there is shame and integrity. The master, brother, husband, wife, elder and younger are in order, and the righteousness between the monarch and his ministers is solid."

He called for the restoration of education and the rectification of moral principles and ethics that had been weakened by the war. This idea was praised by Emperor Yuan of the Jin Dynasty and set off a trend of Confucian revival in the early years of the Eastern Jin Dynasty.

It was also this trend that pushed the Langya Wang family to the status of the most powerful family in the world, with many titles such as "the hairpin is never replaced", "the crown is never replaced", and "the world's wealth is never replaced".

The Jiangzuo family has no meritorious officials.

Even the Yixing Zhou family, which was established in the south of the Yangtze River, was underestimated by the gentry returning from the north. It was precisely because the Jiangzuo family had abundant military power, but their attainments in classics and transmission were not high.

There are also many people who despise metaphysics and deviate from the mainstream of today. Under the many conflicts, the conflicts between southerners and northerners are intensified.

Zhao Yue is not interested in classics or anything like that, and does not want to become a doctor of classics, but he still needs to understand the most basic knowledge.

Otherwise, when people speak, they quote scriptures and you don’t understand anything. Wouldn’t you be laughed at by others?

The book was only halfway warmed when Tian Qi came over.

"Brother Lin, Master Sheng is here."

The so-called Sheng Langjun is the only son of Zhao Yin. He is several months younger than Zhao Yue, so he can be called a clan brother.

Yes, he is the clan brother.

Zhao Xun came from the north and met Zhao You and Zhao Yin. After looking through the family tree, he found that Zhao You was actually a descendant of Zhao Chongguo, the Marquis of Yingping, one of the "Eleven Heroes of Qilin Pavilion", and that he and Zhao Xun were from the same family.

, all belong to the Tianshui Zhao family.

As for whether it is true...

The devil knows.

Zhao Younai came from a family of Huainan military generals and was known as a vulgar person. When he thought that he was actually from the Tianshui Zhao family, he immediately became friendly with Zhao Xun.

However, from Zhao Yue's point of view, this so-called genealogy is probably false.

But Zhao You got the name of the Tianshui Zhao family, and Zhao Xun got the support of Zhao You and his son. The two parties hugged each other and got what they needed. No one would be stupid enough to find out whether Zhao You was the blood of Yingping Marquis Zhao Chongguo.

.

"Meet you in the back garden."

The living room at home is indeed a place for entertaining guests, but Zhao Sheng is a member of the family and is very friendly, so when he was brought to the living room, he felt unfamiliar.

Zhao Yue also valued this clan brother very highly.

The reason is very simple. Zhao Yin came from a family of military generals and had military power in his hands. In the current Jin court, Zhao Yue was a natural helper, so he naturally had to take it seriously.

"Why is Brother Sheng free to come to my humble home today?"

Beside the ink pond, Zhao Yue saw Zhao Sheng, who was as strong as a calf, and stepped forward to greet him with a big smile.

"Brother, something big happened!"

event?

Zhao Yue was stunned for a moment, a little confused.

After all, he is studying history. In history, there should be no major events in the past few days...

"What a big deal?"

Zhao Sheng looked anxious and quickly told the so-called big event.

It turns out that the so-called big event is the invitation to the poetry meeting.

"Bei Jianzi is hateful. He knows that I don't understand classics, poetry, and poetry, and I'm not good at talking about metaphysics, but he still invites me over. Isn't this a clear attempt to humiliate me?"

Zhao Sheng was born in the Wu family and his family is in Huainan. Although he has the name of Tianshui Zhao family, he talks about South rather than South and talks about North but not North. However, it is not surprising that it is common to be humiliated by the powerful Tianlong people of Beigui clan. Invitation to today's poetry meeting

, in Zhao Sheng’s opinion, it was the northerners who came to humiliate him.

"When it comes to competitions on cavalry, shooting, and marksmanship, how can I be afraid of those pretty boys? I'm not afraid of them even if they're competing on Ai Pu or Liu Bo opera, but it's the Poetry Club!"

At this point, Zhao Sheng's face fell.

"My grandma wants me to come over. Brother Lin, you must help me this time!"
