"My little friend's words are really enlightening."
Mr. Shuyou actually bowed his hands to Jia Lian, which made Jia Lian panic and return the salute quickly.
"From what Xiaoyou said just now, 'I have done something for the people of the world,' it seems that Xiaoyou's pattern is really ambitious, and it is by no means just seeking ordinary glory and wealth or honoring the ancestors.
My little friend hopes that I will go to the capital to open a branch of the academy and also teach the children of the nobility, so that these children of the nobility can also aspire to "benefit the people of the world", which will naturally be a blessing to all people.
It’s really admirable that I have such a big heart and structure.”
Jia Lian said frankly:
"I'm here to invite you sir. It's not just about the academy. I also have many confusions. I hope you can come to the capital and ask for advice from time to time.
To be honest, sir, our Jia family is now strong on the outside and cadre on the inside.
Above the court, the Rong and Ning mansions do not have much real power, and the men in the family are incompetent in both writing and martial arts.
However, the family has been arrogant and extravagant for a long time, and the income is gradually decreasing, but the expenses are huge. If this continues, it will be difficult to return.
Nowadays, all we can rely on in our family is the title granted by our ancestors and the virtuous concubine in the palace.
But the former is related to the faction of heroes, and is a thorn in the heart of the current emperor; and the latter is also because the virtuous concubine has been favored by the Supreme Emperor, and is not the true favor of the current emperor.
Nowadays, the emperor is always looking for opportunities to suppress the heroes and old ministers. However, the factions of heroes in the court are either unaware of it, or they deliberately become more united. If this continues, sooner or later something will happen.
In such a situation, if our Jia family does not stand up and strengthen itself, it will decline rapidly, and I am afraid that within a few years, we will end up with the whole family confiscated and destroyed."
What he said was extremely candid. Mr. Shuyou thought it was true and sighed:
"It's rare for a kid to have such a vision!
Thinking back to the old days, the kings, Xie Na and other famous families would inevitably fall apart in the end."
"Sir, Wang, the main reason for Xie's decline is the decline of the country; but the decline of our Jia family is because we don't want to make progress.
I once met an outsider who said that if the Jia family continues to degenerate, the outcome will be:
The humble room was empty, but the bed was full of wats;
Withered grass and withered poplars, it was once a singing and dancing venue.
Spider silk is covered with carved beams, and green gauze is now stuck on the canopy windows.
How can you say that when your hair is thick and your powder is fragrant, your temples will turn into frost?
Yesterday there were bones in the loess, and tonight there are mandarin ducks under the red light tent.
A box full of gold, a box full of silver, a beggar with an open eye is slandered by everyone.
I am sighing that others will not live long, but I know that I will be mourned when I return!
If you train well, you will not be able to become a strong leader in the future;
Who chooses to live in Fireworks Alley?
Because he thought the gauze hat was too small, he had to carry the shackles;
Yesterday I felt sorry for the coldness of my broken coat, but now I think the purple python is too long.
Luan Hengheng, you just finished singing and I appeared on the stage, and I recognized the foreign country as my hometown.
It’s so ridiculous, in the end you are just making wedding clothes for others!”
He read out the "Commentary to the Song" from the original text of "Dream of Red Mansions", and unexpectedly Mr. Wenyou nodded and frowned:
"Such words and phrases, although they are thorough, are extremely thorough.
When scholars talk about the golden mean, they must see "nothing" in "being" and "have" in "nothing".
In the midst of prosperity, one must be able to see the crisis and not indulge in one's greed for glory; in the midst of the crisis, one must be able to see the hope and never give up on seizing any opportunity.
If you only see "nothing" in "nothing" and feel that all the glory and wealth in the world are just passing by, then it is the decadent words of a decadent person, and it does not give you a reason to make progress."
Jia Lian gave high fives after hearing this;
"Exactly! Exactly!
It seems that when I came to look for Mr., I really entered a treasure mountain and returned home with a treasure.
I spare no effort to turn the tide!
Not only to change the declining situation of the Jia family, but also to do something for the people of this world.
I believe that the world in front of us will become a better place, and the people in this world will live better than they do now."
"The pattern, the pattern." Mr. Shuyou sighed repeatedly, "If you don't dislike me, I would like to be friends with you forever and call each other brothers."
Jia Lian was flattered:
"With your illustrious name, how can I dare to climb high?
I am going to stay in Suzhou for a while, and I am about to ask your husband to make an exception and allow me to come to the academy to study."
"It doesn't matter. Since my dear brother is determined to study, he can just come to the academy to study. I will make arrangements for him.
As a brother, my surname is Zhu, my single name is Ji, and my courtesy name is Shiheng. My nickname is Mr. Shuyou. I don’t know what the name of Xiandi is?"
.
Oops, the world-famous "Mr. Book Friend" takes the initiative to call us brothers!
How could Jia Lian still hold it? He quickly replied:
"I am Jia Lian, whose courtesy name is Yongbi and whose name is Hujun."
As soon as the words came out of his mouth, Jia Lian's heart thumped: It's over, it's all over.
Mr. Shuyou was also startled:
"Yongbi has a reputation at such a young age? His future life is indeed terrifying."
The ancient titles include "self-title", "gift title" and "posthumous title".
"Self-title" is an elegant nickname used to show off one's hometown and interests, such as Li Bai's nickname Qinglian Jushi, and He Zhizhang's nickname Siming Kuangke.
"Gift number" refers to the title of praise received by others due to deeds or poems. For example, He Zhu wrote the good words "The willows are smoked in the river, and the plums are yellow in the rain", so people called He Meizi; Zhang Xianyin wrote "The clouds break and the moon comes."
There are three good poems with the word "shadow", "The shadow of the mountain is seen at the break of the duckweed", and "The shadow of the swing is sent across the partition wall", which is known as "Zhang Sanying".
As for the "posthumous title", which is used to evaluate praise and blame after death, it is still far away from Jia Lian.
Jia Lian grinned:
"My account number is not a serious one, it's... a 'nickname'.
It was given to me by a group of wandering kids I grew up with. They laugh at me every day for being henpecked and say my wife is Wu Song."
Alas - it’s embarrassing again.
.
Unexpectedly, Mr. Shuyou's face suddenly changed drastically. He turned red in one moment, turned white in the next moment, and stood up in the next moment. He rushed to Jia Lian with two big steps and grabbed hold of him with both hands.
, gritted his teeth and stamped his feet:
"Oh my! It turns out that Yong Bi is also a member of the same group!
The suffering in this, oh my, is really indescribable to outsiders!"
Jia Lian's eyes widened as if he was struck by lightning:
"Could it be...could it be that Mr...."
"Oh, what are you calling me sir? I'm calling you brother!"
Mr. Shuyou seemed to have met a long-lost relative, and he just wanted to hug Jia Lian tightly.
"My brother also has an extremely scary 'Hedong Lion' in his family!
He is extremely ferocious and unreasonable, and every time he gets angry, he is so helpless that he would rather die than die.
But it is her parents who make the decision, and she has children, so she cannot divorce her.
If I hadn't been able to hide in the academy all these years, my brother would have been in mourning long ago."
.
This is what we call: "We are both fallen people at the end of the world, so why should we meet before?"
.
Jia Lian really didn't expect that this elegant and gentle book lover would be so eloquent and bitter when he talked about his terrible "strong wife".
When Uncle Zhuzi came in with meat-stuffed sesame cakes, Mr. Shuyou ordered him to prepare wine so that he could get drunk with his good brother Jia Lian.
So that night, Jia Lian and the famous Mr. Shuyou hugged each other's shoulders and called each other brothers at the wine table. They talked about many men's topics that touched their hearts, and they drank until Mr. Shuyou simply "walked away from the table".
.
When he woke up early the next morning, Jia Lian became the brother of "Mr. Shuyou", and everyone in the academy called him "Mr. Lian Er".
While Jia Lian was enjoying himself, a question suddenly came to his mind:
My uncle is Mr. Shuyou’s student, and I am Mr. Shuyou’s brother. So how should we discuss the seniority between me and Sister Lin’s father?
