Chapter 363: A brief talk about ambitions, shocking with one word
"well said!"
I heard a voice coming from the side. Jia Zheng, who was wearing casual clothes, came over. When the servants saw him, they quickly bowed and saluted while exchanging glances.
Seeing the return of the big devil, Jia Baoyu immediately changed his color.
Jia Zheng walked straight to Jia Mu, looked at her lovingly, then knelt down and kowtowed: "I haven't seen you for a year. How is your mother?"
"Zheng'er is back! Look how thin you are. The ground is cold. Help me up quickly! If you really respect me, an old woman, just take good care of your body. You must fulfill your duties in state affairs, but don't work too hard.
Already."
Seeing that her favorite second son finally returned home, Jia's mother was filled with joy and hurriedly asked people to help him up.
As a mother, she was naturally very happy that Jia Zheng was promoted. However, her mother was worried because her most reliable son was not around. Not only did Jia's mother always feel that the family was missing a backbone, she also worried about Jia Zheng all day long.
Her own son knew that Jia Zheng had a somewhat pedantic temperament. Even Xian Rongguo told her that this son was actually not suitable for officialdom. This is why Jia Daishan implored the emperor to be kind and let Jia Zheng skip the imperial examination in his suicide note.
Study at the Ministry of Industry.
This son's temperament is best suited for a technocratic job like the Ministry of Industry.
But if he is allowed to go to Qingzhang's fields, the old mother will have to feel anxious.
Although Li Wan told Jia's mother, Jia Lan said in the letter he sent home that his provincial examiner, Governor Shanda of Shuntian, would definitely take care of Jia Zheng, plus the accounting masters sent by Sister Feng and the masters sent from Beizhuang.
With so many manpower, Jia Zheng cannot suffer a big loss.
But Jia's mother just couldn't rest assured. Although Jia Lan had made extremely dazzling achievements in the imperial examination, Mrs. Shi loved her great-grandson who was full of opinions, but she was not very close to him.
Just like Jia Huan's words just now, she felt an inexplicable feeling in her heart. Although she agreed with Jia Lan's words in the letter from the bottom of her heart and was a little happy with Jia Huan's progress, she was not satisfied with the closeness between Jia Lan and Jia Huan.
, Jia Mu was just a little unhappy.
Can't tell why.
After Jia Zheng bowed to his mother, he went directly to Jia Huan and encouraged him: "Being able to realize this shows that you are really determined to study and study hard, and you have made much progress than before. It is not in vain that Lan'er introduces you to
In Diecui Academy. In fact, my father does not demand that you must catch up with Lan'er in the imperial examination. I only hope that you can understand the truth and apply it."
"Besides..." Jia Zheng smiled and said, "As a father, my academic performance is mediocre, far inferior to that of Lan'er. You can correspond and communicate with Lan'er academically. If you can get a good name in the exam the next day, it will be convenient."
You will walk everywhere when you become an adult... After all, this world is not only the world of saints, but also the world of scholars..."
The words were full of emotion.
Confucianism experienced the catastrophe of the late Ming Dynasty. Faced with the reality that the country was ruined and the mountains and rivers were eclipsed, they also witnessed the tragic cases and prisons in the officialdom, mutual strife, and tragic martyrdom during the war. The shattering of official career and economic dreams, inheritance and inheritance
The dilemma brought about by the collapse of the patriarchal clan aroused various emotions such as sadness, confusion, sadness, and anger in the hearts of Confucian disciples.
This is an era that makes people all over the world feel trembling and confused.
Even in troubled times heroes emerge.
Emperor Gao was born out of nowhere, carrying out Hongwu's old deeds and sweeping away the universe. Although he physically saved the Zhongzhou nation, spiritually, the gloomy meaning entrenched in the hearts of all classes was still lost in confusion.
When things are uneven, they cry, and there is depression in the chest. At this time, the scholars reflect on themselves, and a group of masters gradually emerge. Among them, Huanglizhou, Gu Tinglin, Wang Chuanshan, and Li Zhongfu are the most popular, and they are known as ""
"The Four Great Confucians in China". These four people all advocated self-examination, promoted patriotism, opposed empty talk, and advocated practical application of the world.
At the same time, he also attached great importance to education, believing that the lesson of the Ming Dynasty's collapse lay in "the degeneration of scholars and improper official conduct." Therefore, education was vigorously promoted to talk about current affairs and politics, and to clarify the principles of right and wrong.
It was also due to the efforts of these great Confucian scholars that the academies prevailed in the Great Xia Dynasty, and Confucianism gradually overcame the decline in the early years of the Kingdom, revealing the scene of "Zhongxing".
The reason why Jia Zheng sighed was because this time he was sent to serve as an official abroad. He realized with his own eyes the tenacity of the Confucian school, and finally understood why the previous generation of the Ning Rong two houses unanimously asked their sons to abandon martial arts and pursue literature.
The so-called noble relatives who founded the country, the residence of the public, and the same relatives as the country are simply like a drop in the ocean in front of the immortal Confucianism.
Only by reading can you become immortal.
This is the biggest realization Jia Zheng gained after being away for a year.
After hearing Jia Huan's words of great progress, Jia Zheng, who was full of joy, couldn't help but say some heartfelt words of encouragement to his son.
When everyone saw this, their expressions varied.
Mother Jia glanced at the pale Jia Baoyu and sighed secretly in her heart.
The expression on Mrs. Wang's face did not change at all, but her hand holding the beads was obviously a little tighter.
The lingering surprise in the eyes of the women and maids standing behind her obviously represents the mentality of the people in the Rongguo Mansion at this moment.
It seems that Jia Huan, the concubine, is a little different?
"Father..." Jia Zheng's affectionate words moved Jia Huan greatly, and he knelt down immediately: "My child must do his best, but he is stupid and may fail his father's hard work."
Seeing Jia Huan kneeling down, everyone around him held his breath and watched silently.
But I heard Jia Huan say: "Lang Geer wrote to me and asked me what my ambitions are, but I couldn't answer. But later the Master talked about "The Doctrine of the Mean" and said that the word "knowledge" must be attributed to the fact that a fool must be wise, and a soft boy must be strong. To take on big things,
It all comes down to the word "Ming Qiang". The boy turned his back on himself and went to school. Not only was he not as good as Lange'er, he was also not as good as many other seniors in the outer house. After studying hard for two months, he felt that although he had made progress, he often felt that there was nothing he could do.
Only in bowing, horse riding, and shooting was he praised by the Master.
I heard that my ancestors from the Rongguo Kingdom also started their careers through military service, but now the frontiers are uneasy, wind and rain are coming from all directions, and people’s hearts are raging, so I want to learn martial arts!”
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! Jia Huan's tone contained some unquestionable determination.
Compared to Tan Chun's drastically changed expression, Jia Zheng looked at Jia Huan with a bit of surprise, but no anger. Jia Huan's serious expression made Jia Zheng look a little dazed. This seemed to be the first time that this child had looked at him.
Confess your feelings before your eyes.
He looked at Jia Huan: "You have to know that learning martial arts is not easier than learning literature."
"My child knows..."
Outside the hospital, the gongs and drums were playing along with the sheng and Xiao, and the deafening sound of firecrackers sounded again.
Everyone in the hospital was infected by this excitement, and seeing Jia Zheng's unexpected anger, the originally silent atmosphere was suddenly broken and became noisy.
"He should learn martial arts, otherwise his tone is louder than a toad, which is really hilarious!"
"That's right! He's just a bastard. If it weren't for my wife's mercy, he would be nothing."
Daiyu frowned when she heard the mother-in-law behind her laughing at her, but she soon relaxed her eyebrows and looked at Jia Huan with a bit more expectation.
"The child knew that he was too stubborn to be brought up, but he just remembered the ambition that Langeer asked about, and felt that if he could learn martial arts and make a difference, he might go to the frontier to join the army to protect his family and the country the next day, or he could stay by Langeer's side to protect him.
Erye is always a place to go." Jia Huan looked at Jia Zheng: "My child doesn't have any big ambitions. He just thinks that if he goes step by step, he will be able to do great things."
"Hmm..." Jia Zheng stroked his beard and nodded slightly: "Diecui Academy has always paid equal attention to both civil and military affairs. The fact that you can get a fair rating shows that you are indeed qualified in bow and horse. However, as my father said, learning and martial arts are not the same.
Learning literature is easy, have you really thought about it?"
"Think about it!" Jia Huan said: "To be honest with my father, Langeer asked me the same question. After getting my reply, he sent me a letter with only one poem in it. The child was deeply inspired after reading it."
"Oh? What did Lan'er write to you?"
Not only Jia Zheng, but Tanchun and others on the side were also curious.
Jia Huan said loudly: "I will not let go of the green mountains. I have my roots in the broken rocks. I have endured countless blows and still remain strong, regardless of the winds from east to west, north and south."
As soon as he finished reading, Jia Zheng clapped his hands and praised: "Good! Lan'er is worthy of being a great talent. What a man who has endured many hardships and endured many hardships and endured many hardships. He has shown that he is as strong as any man of our generation!"
The people around her didn't react for a while, but a knowing smile appeared on the corner of Daiyu's mouth.
