"Linquan Gaozhi" is not far away. Along the way up the spring, there is a mountain platform, with a waterfall of flying flowers and broken jade flowing down. There is a pavilion built beside the spring. It is really a place with excellent scenery.
.
At this time, there were twenty-eight disciples, following four professors and eight instructors, surrounding a short, fat man in his forties.
The professors and teachers in the front are sitting on the seats in the pavilion, and the students in the back all have their own mats, sitting upright and respectful.
And the short fat man was leisurely holding a cup of tea, looking at the clear spring water flowing slowly in the "Meandering Water Bowl" in the pavilion. Who would the plain white porcelain cup filled with fine wine flow to and stop in front of his eyes? Yan Yan was obviously very familiar with the short fat man, and he was already smiling when he saw him. He lifted his clothes and fell to the ground when he stepped forward:
"Student Yan Yan pays homage to his mentor."
Humpty Dumpty laughs:
"It's Huang Chen who's here, it's a coincidence, it's a coincidence!
Today, all the students have a day off and have fun here for half a day, informally and informally."
He was obviously very interested. He pulled Yan Yan and said with a smile:
"Just now Wen Ruo wrote a poem, in which there are two lines: 'The purple streets are hissing, the reds are screaming, the green poplars are high, and the swings are painted' are very good, very good."
When Yan Yan heard this, he suddenly felt inspired, smiled and nodded to a tall, thin young man sitting in the first row outside the pavilion:
"Wang Yu, this kid has really improved again. It seems that he will be in the top three in next year's competition."
The short fat man nodded repeatedly and pointed at the students in the third row:
"Of the six students who returned to their hometowns to take the college examination this year, four are the top criminals in their counties.
This year coincides with the autumn season, so the province's Jieyuan Shao must be among the six of them."
After that, he said to the six people:
""The Book of Shang Jun: The Art of War" says: 'The king's soldiers should be victorious without arrogance, and defeated without resentment.' You all have to go all the way to the palace examination, and you must not change it because of a temporary victory or defeat.
Temperament.
Just like the senior Huang Chen in front of you, when he first entered our academy, he was barely qualified as a scholar, let alone a top scholar.
But he was determined to learn and worked hard, and he worked hard for several years, and finally won the second place in Ding Wuke.
Moreover, his test paper and the test paper of Chen Qunyu, the number one scholar at that time, had to be weighed and considered by the then Emperor and the current Supreme Emperor for half a day, and it is really difficult to distinguish between them."
"My teacher was so complimentary. Senior Huaibi, who won the top prize in the academy, had a distinguished academic reputation when he was in the academy, and his students always fell short of him."
Although Yan Yan said this very modestly, when he thought about his joy when he got the second place and the success in the following months, his face showed a little bit of joy.
But Yan Yan then thought of his current situation, and he couldn't help but feel more and more aggrieved.
.
Not to mention that he was deprived of the position of the prefect, but yesterday, after the fixed day, the prefect Shuyu sent someone to Yan Yan's residence and asked him to set out early in the morning to go to the countryside to encourage farmers and students, and there must be no delay.
.
He also said that because the government office was short of manpower and there was no one to send, only Tongzhi was allowed to go, and the government office didn’t even lend a horse.
Yan Tongzhi had to bow his head under the low eaves, so he had no choice but to ride his own donkey alone in the early morning of Qingming Festival and head straight to the countryside in the rain.
Passing by Hewang Mountain, Yan Yan wanted to pay a visit to his mentor, and also wanted to pour out his bitterness.
.
The short fat man had already seen Jia Lian following Yan Yan. Seeing that he was well-mannered and dressed in civilian clothes, he thought he was a student that Yan Yan wanted to introduce to the academy, so he smiled and asked Yan Yan:
"Did you bring this little friend?"
Yan Yan was just thinking about what was on his mind. Hearing this question, he was stunned for a moment before he hurriedly answered:
"Oh, this Mr. Jia, I just met at the gate of the academy.
Listen to him, he also wants to come to pay homage to his mentor."
Jia Lian stood aside without saying a word, feeling a little disappointed.
It turns out that this short, fat man in his forties is the legendary "Mr. Book Friend" and the fourth grandfather of the almost eighty-year-old Uncle Zhuzi.
It seems that the "health school" will not be opened.
Looking at his tall and lean figure of 1.6 meters tall and 180 pounds, it is estimated that apart from being "eatable", he doesn't have any health secrets.
.
But Mr. Shuyou is a well-known Confucian master in the country and an absolutely famous teacher in the national civil service examination tutoring class. If the Jia family wants to revive the family business and take care of their children and grandchildren, they must rely on this person.
So Jia Lian carefully explained his identity and demands, took out Lin Ruhai's letter from his arms, and handed it over with both hands respectfully.
Mr. Shuyou smiled and took Lin Ruhai’s letter:
"It turns out you are Ru Hai's nephew. He mentioned you to me in his letter earlier. You are a person to be feared in the future. You are to be feared in the future."
Mr. Shuyou lowered his head to read the letter with a smile. Yan Yan beside him could not help but frown:
It turns out that this guy is Jia Lian from Rongguo Mansion in the capital.
Yan Yan was ranked second in the rankings back then, and when he was waiting for a job in the capital, he had heard of Jia Lian's name - every generation of the Jia family was inferior to the previous generation, and Jia Lian was the most typical "waste-type prodigal" among them.
This boy has refused to study since he was a child, and only loves to drink and have fun. Relying on the blessing of his ancestors, he is a useless person.
It's just that he still has some wit and wit. Because of his family background, he only knows a little bit about official career and economics, and he just hangs out with some official friends.
In fact, Jia Lian didn't know a few Chinese characters, and he didn't know anything about civil or military affairs.
Among all the dandy boys in the capital, Jia Lian was known as a "good-for-nothing". He was the slowest one even when he got into trouble and got into fights.
Such a worthless waste actually shamelessly came to the top academic institution in the country and wanted to hire teachers from here to teach those prodigal sons of the Jia family?
Wishful thinking!
What a fool!
Eat your fill!
Jia is not fake, white jade is the hall gold and horse.
Epang Palace, three hundred miles away, cannot accommodate a person of Jinling history.
There is a shortage of white jade beds in the East China Sea, so the Dragon King comes to invite the King of Jinling.
In good years, there is heavy snow, and pearls are like earth and gold like iron.
The four major families of Jia, Shi, Wang, and Xue were the most powerful, extremely wealthy and noble eunuch families in Jinling at that time. The Jia family ranked first; and they were also among the "Four Kings and Eight Dukes" of the founding heroes.
Among them, there are two princes, namely Rong and Ning. These heroic factions collude with each other, support and cover up, and take care of them all.
It’s not just the Jia family, it’s not just the four princes and eight princes, and it’s not just the hero sect, these princes’ sons are powerful, collusive, and do whatever they want!
Shuyu is just the son-in-law of the servant of the King of Beijing, but he can seize my second official position and dominate me!
The Jia family has always been on good terms with the King of Beijing, so this Jia Lian must be their victim!
.
The more Yan Yan thought about it, the angrier he became, and he inevitably vented his anger on Shu Yu on Jia Lian, unable to hide the contempt on his face and the resentment in his eyes:
"Junior Ru Hai is the most beautiful girl in my next subject, so naturally his nephew is also a great one.
I wonder if Mr. Jia has taken the examination for meritorious service or donated his official position?
Looking at Mr. Jia’s literary talents, I wonder what rank he is donating?”
