Chapter 1648, the chain of contempt of Ming scholars
“Today’s game was really enjoyable to watch!”
"The last shot of the Sangong team shot across the court like a shooting star, stunning the whole audience!"
From the VIP channel of the stadium, Liu Jin came out with his whole family. Liu Jin's eldest son was still talking about the game.
"Dad, will you come to the football match next week?"
"Let's check it out next week. I'll bring you over if I have time."
"Dad, I still want to watch the game next week, can you take us to watch the game together?"
"Okay, okay~"
There is no way, Liu Jin is a daughter slave, as soon as the cute little guy acts like a spoiled child, Liu Jin immediately agrees.
"You, you can't spoil your child too much."
Seeing this scene, Xu Waner could only remind her.
She knew that Liu Jin was busy with government affairs. Sometimes he had to work overtime on weekends to deal with national affairs. Wherever he had time, he came to watch football every weekend. Sometimes he finally had time to rest, so he had to take a good rest.
"It's just a matter of watching the football game. Take them out to play more often when you have time."
Liu Jin smiled and didn't take it seriously.
I am really busy now and have too little time to spend with the little ones.
Perhaps for the people of the Ming Dynasty in this period, men were in charge of the outside world and women were in charge of the home. The children were left to play by themselves, and there was no need for adults to accompany them.
But Liu Jin is a time traveler, coming from later generations, and was influenced by the education of later generations. He feels that although work is important, it is also important to spend time with his family, especially his children, who should spend more time with them when they are young.
"Mr. Leonardo da Vinci, your paintings are really impressive. With just a pencil, you can show everything in the stadium vividly. I'm really impressed!"
"Thank you, thank you~"
When Liu Jin came outside, he suddenly saw the old European man with a white beard who was painting. At this moment, seven or eight people dressed like scholars gathered around him, all of them were facing a huge
The sketches and paintings are full of praise.
"da Vinci?"
When Liu Jin heard this, he immediately stopped slightly.
Da Vinci's famous name Liu Jin is naturally well-known. His Mona Lisa's Smile was praised by later generations as the most expensive painting in the world. At the same time, his name as one of the three literary heroes has also been written into the history textbooks.
Such a famous historical figure actually came from this period?
"It seems to be from this period, around 1500."
"Don't tell me, maybe Leonardo da Vinci himself came to the Ming Dynasty."
After careful comparison, Liu Jin immediately became energetic.
If the famous Leonardo da Vinci came to the Ming Dynasty, he would have to meet him no matter what. He was a famous painter in history and an outstanding representative of the Renaissance.
"You take your children and go back first, I'll go take a look."
Liu Jin ordered Xu Waner and Li Zhen.
When the two of them saw Liu Jin's appearance, they immediately guessed it. They didn't say anything and went back with their children.
"Brothers, can I take a look at this painting?"
Liu Jin came to Da Vinci and others, smiled and saluted.
When Wen Zhengming, Tang Zhen, Zhu Yunming, Cai Yu, and Da Vinci heard this, they all looked at Liu Jin.
Liu Jin was handsome and smiling. Although he was dressed in ordinary clothes, his demeanor was extremely extraordinary. In addition, he was accompanied by several personal servants. At first glance, he knew that he was not an ordinary person, so he quickly returned the favor with a smile.
"Brother, please look~"
Wen Zhengming handed the painting to Liu Jin, who slowly unfolded it and looked at it carefully.
It has to be said that a master painter is a master painter. Even if it is a sketch, he can draw the entire lively competition scene clearly and vividly, and you can even clearly see the audience in the auditorium.
"It's incredible. You can use sketches to draw the game on the court so realistically. It's amazing! It's amazing!"
Liu Jin was full of praise after reading it.
This Leonardo da Vinci really deserves his reputation. His painting level is so high that he has already reached the state of transformation. He has the ability to turn decay into magic. He can even sketch to this level. It is really amazing.
"Brother, do you also know about sketching?"
When Wen Zhengming heard this, he also smiled and asked.
"Haha, I know a little bit, this is a painting method that originated in Europe."
Liu Jin smiled, then looked at Da Vinci and asked, "This must have been done by the old gentleman?"
"Show your ugliness, show your ugliness, and it will be difficult for you to reach the level of elegance."
Da Vinci also said modestly.
After coming to Ming Dynasty, he realized that the people of Ming Dynasty have always valued humility and believed that among three people walking together, there must be someone who can teach me. No matter how talented you are, you still have to be low-key and humble.
Da Vinci also gained a lot along the way. He came into contact with many Ming Dynasty people, and he found that this sentence can indeed be confirmed. Everyone can be your master, so he became much more humble.
"My name is Liu...Liu Ming, do you know your brothers' surnames?"
Liu Jin looked at everyone and introduced his name. He also changed his name during the introduction. If Liu Jin was mentioned, everyone would probably know who he was.
"Brother Liu, my name is Wen Zhengming, this is Mr. Leonardo da Vinci from Florence, Europe, this is Cai Yu, this is Zhu Yunming, and this is Tang Zhen~"
Wen Zhengming smiled and introduced a few people to Liu Jin.
"It turns out to be Brother Wen~"
"I know your name very well. You are one of the Four Talents in Wuzhong. I am quite familiar with Tang Bohu. I often hear him mention you and say that your paintings and calligraphy are unique in the Ming Dynasty."
When Liu Jin heard this, his eyes widened slightly.
Unexpectedly, the person in front of him turned out to be Wen Zhengming, one of the four great talents in the south of the Yangtze River, who would be known to everyone in future generations.
"It's just a small name, it's not worth mentioning. I'm ashamed, I'm ashamed!"
When Wen Zhengming heard this, he realized that the other party actually knew Tang Bohu, which made him even closer.
"I've met Brother Cai, Brother Zhu, and Brother Tang~"
"I've met Mr. Leonardo da Vinci~"
Liu Jin also saluted several other people.
"I've met Brother Liu~"
Several people also returned the gift. It seemed that they were all scholars, and etiquette between scholars is very important.
"You all have come from afar. I am a local in the capital, and I have hit it off with you all. Why don't I let my little brother do the hosting and invite you all to get together at Wangyue Tower."
Liu Jin then suggested that everyone change places to continue chatting. It was obviously inappropriate to chat at the entrance of the stadium.
"this..."
Several people looked at each other, then nodded to each other and said, "Since Brother Liu is so enthusiastic, then we should be respectful and obey him."
"That's how it should be~"
Liu Jin laughed happily, and immediately ordered someone to make arrangements.
Soon, several four-wheeled carriages brought everyone to Wangyue Tower.
In the private room on the top floor of Wangyue Building, everyone was sitting together. Before they arrived at the restaurant, tea and fruits were served, and they started chatting with each other.
"Since Brother Liu knows Brother Tang, he must also be an official in the court?"
Wen Zhengming also asked about Liu Jin.
"I am indeed a minor official in the Ministry of Personnel~"
"In the twelfth year of Hongzhi, I was at the same time as Brother Tang, so I got to know Brother Tang."
Liu Jin nodded and replied.
"Brother Liu, you are humble. You are an official in the imperial court and you are so young. You have a bright future."
When Wen Zhengming, Cai Yu, Tang Zhen, and Zhu Yunming heard this, they couldn't help but look at Liu Jin carefully again.
Liu Jin and Tang Bohu both graduated from Hongzhi High School in 12th year. Looking at Liu Jin's appearance, he looks like he is in his twenties.
Then the other party was very young when he was in high school, maybe only a teenager before he graduated from high school. He was still an official in the Ministry of Personnel, which is not an ordinary place.
The Minister of the Ministry of Personnel is known as the Heavenly Official and is in charge of all officials in the world. The officials in the Ministry of Personnel are naturally great, not to mention that Liu Jin is still so young. From now on, his future is really bright.
"No matter where I am, I am loyal to the emperor and do some trivial things for the common people."
Liu Jin shook his head modestly.
"Brother Liu is truly a role model for us!"
"Although I am also a scholar, I am embarrassed to say it. It is difficult to even pass the examination, let alone get a Jinshi in high school. It is a waste of my life. It is a waste of my life."
Wen Zhengming looked at Liu Jin with envy.
Although he is known as one of the four great talents in Wuzhong, he has never even passed the imperial examination in his life. Tang Bohu was ranked first in Yingtian Mansion back then. In the twelfth year of Hongzhi, he became a high school Jinshi. Now he has become a high school student here in Nanyun Province.
The capital of a state.
This may be Wen Zhengming's lifelong regret. Although he was talented, he could not pass the imperial examination. After all, he was still a lot lower than Liu Jin and others who were serious scholars.
Just like Tang Bohu in history, because he was involved in a scientific examination case, although he was not sentenced in the end, he could not be an official for the rest of his life and could only be a petty official.
This was simply an insult to a great talent like Tang Bohu, so he would rather not be a petty official than to show his nobility.
Although I wrote poems like "Taohuawu" to show that I don't care about false fame and don't pay attention to fame or anything like that, this is just a manifestation of depression.
Like now, Tang Bohu was born as a serious Jinshi, and his career as an official was smooth, and there is no such thing as the Peach Blossom Immortal of Taohuawu.
After all, under the imperial examination system, everyone among these scholars wanted to go to high school and become an official.
But under the eight-part essay system, it is really not easy to get into high school. Even a great talent like Wen Zhengming could not even pass the imperial examination. This shows how difficult the imperial examination is.
Of course, Wen Zhengming is from Suzhou. This southern Zhili province has been full of talented people since ancient times. The difficulty of the scientific examination at this period was hellish, and passing the examination was really difficult.
Therefore, in the chain of contempt among scholars in the Ming Dynasty, scholars looked down on scholars, scholars looked down on scholars, and those who could enter the Hanlin Academy looked down on those who could not.
In front of Liu Jin, who was a serious scholar and became an official, Wen Zhengming, Cai Yu, Zhu Yunming, Tang Zhen and others suddenly felt that they were several steps short. There was no way, the scholars of the Ming Dynasty were pissed like this, and they were all inferior.
If you study well, you will only accept those who are better than yourself.
