Putting aside emotions and speaking with conscience, if Chen Ke were to rank the people who are relatively close to him in Jiayou Academy, Zhang Dun and Lu Huiqing are undoubtedly the best, Wang Shao and Zeng Bu are second best, and Su Zhe is also
He can barely be ranked in the second rate, and his idol in his previous life, Su Xian, at least so far, can only be regarded as a third rate. He is on the same level as Deng Wan and Jia Dan, and is better than Lin Xi, Jiang Zhiqi and others.
Of course, if Brother-in-law Su is the most talented person in the world in terms of his literary talents and knowledge, Brother-in-law Su will definitely give him three sneers in response!
But he also believed that a talented man like Su Shi should be exiled among the mountains and rivers, allowing him to hone his temperament, cultivate his writing, and provide the most delicious spiritual food for the people of the Song Dynasty. However, Uncle Su, under the oppression of his perverted father,
Later, he had to take the imperial examination - Lao Su wanted his son to stand out and make the Su family proud. This is understandable, but passing the imperial examination not only means glory, but also entering the officialdom and shouldering the responsibility of serving the country and the people!
Unfortunately, the two Su brothers were both harmed by Lao Su. Speaking of Lao Su, Chen Ke was filled with emotion. It is true that his father-in-law is a great Confucian, and his articles are also very impressive and heroic, but Lao Su's
The knowledge is that of Mencius in the pre-Qin Dynasty, and the style is that of the political strategist. The knowledge that he studied so hard may have been acceptable in the pre-Qin period or the war years, but now in the Song Dynasty, which was more than a thousand years away from the pre-Qin period, it is
The world is at peace for a long time, and the Song Dynasty operates according to a completely different set of rules!
This is like learning the skill of slaying dragons, and then discovering that there are no dragons in the world. He was asked to hunt tigers but couldn't do it...
In Chen Ke's opinion, this is the reason why Su Xun is famous in the capital, but no senior official is willing to recommend him to become an official... Old Su is indeed a talented person, but it is not appropriate for the time. It cannot solve the problem and will definitely cause trouble for others.
.How can such a Don Quixote-like character and a son who was raised forcefully not have problems?
Including Su Zhe, the brothers' articles are all non-astonishing and full of talent. However, it is not difficult to see the utilitarianism hidden deep in them.
However, Chen Ke did not laugh at them because of this, because he was also like that - everyone in the world is a man and woman with fireworks. Who doesn't look forward to being a farmer in the morning, ascending to the emperor's hall in the evening, and enjoying the glory and prosperity of this world? Since he is not exempt from the world.
, what qualifications do you have to ask Ersu to be refined?
What he looked down on the two of them was just their ability. After all, Sichuan Wazi was a self-taught man. He could learn the articles of the ancients but not the current affairs of today. From structure to talent, they were incomparable to the likes of Lu Huiqing and Zhang Dun.
Compared with the children of genius families, even Zeng Bu and Wang Shao can't compare.
Of course, this is not about Er Su Cha. It’s about Lu, Zhang, Zeng, and Wang. They are really outstanding...
Therefore, in history, people have risen rapidly in just ten years. Either they can make all the difference, or they can dominate the next thirty years, or they can achieve extraordinary achievements, but Su Shi has been playing the role of a loser all his life.
However, without a lifetime of suffering, how could Su Shi have become the eternal idol Su Dongpo?
But Chen Ke would not just watch his brother-in-law make his life miserable in order to become a literary giant, so he wanted to lead Su Shi to the metaphysical path, hoping that Su Shi would use his strengths and avoid weaknesses, and use his energy to build a New Confucianism for the Song Dynasty. Give full play to it.
His thinking and eloquence skills swept Zhou Dunshi, Ercheng Zhangzai and others into the garbage heap!
So from that day on, the Jiayou Academy started to engage in a rivalry with the Taoists from the Daxiangguo Temple. The two sides had diametrically opposed views, and their lecturers were both eloquent and eloquent. It was difficult to tell the difference.
Moreover, although the Taoists from Jiayou Society and Xiangguo Temple are in conflict over the classics and meanings, they are in the same camp in terms of literature, and they both clearly oppose the Taixue style advocated by the Taixue Wenhui. Taixue Wenhui
Not to be outdone, he always boasts loudly when opening a forum, praising the Taixue style to the top of the world, because it is an exam-oriented style, so it has the most supporters.
The three families' fighting in the air is very exciting. Whenever a lecture is given, it will attract countless students, officials and even famous prostitutes to come and listen, making it the most beautiful scenery in this winter.
In this lively and bustling way, it’s the Spring Festival of the second year of Jiayou...
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Shuntianmen, Yinliang Bridge, Ouyang Xiu Mansion.
There are lanterns and colorful decorations on the door of the house, and the snow in front of the door is covered with thick firecracker chips, giving it a New Year atmosphere.
Today is the third day of the first lunar month. On the first day of the lunar month, ministers will enter the palace to pay their respects, and officials will give banquets. On the second day of the lunar month, officials will visit each other, and on the third day of the lunar month, relatives and friends will pay New Year greetings.
Ouyang Xiu's eldest son Ouyang Fa, wearing a brand-new Japanese cotton robe, stood in front of the mansion to greet relatives and friends. When the old official Ouyang visited the capital, the so-called relatives and friends, in addition to his wife, were Zeng Gong, Chen Ke and other disciples. There were also
Mei Yaochen, Cai Xiang, Han Wei and other old friends for many years. As well as a bunch of new friends in the literary world that he has recently met and admired very much...
Zeng Gong arrived with a group of brothers. Zeng Bu and others were holding gifts in their hands. Zeng Gong cupped his hands towards Ouyang Fa and laughed together: "Congratulations on the new year!"
"Congratulations!" Ouyang said with a smile: "Brothers, please come inside quickly. My father has been nagging me for a long time. Why are you guys so late today?"
"Oh, I'm so ashamed. Yesterday, the Jiayou Academy held a New Year's reception in Yipinlou, and they dragged me there." Zeng Gong said with a bitter smile, "I accidentally drank too much and got drunk until just now."
"Oh, doesn't Senior Brother always drink less than three glasses of wine?" Ouyang Fa asked strangely: "There are times when exceptions are made?"
"I didn't make an exception. It was the wine they made me drink. It was too strong..." Zeng Gong said with a bitter smile: "After drinking that kind of wine, I felt that all the drinks I drank before were just water..."
"What wine is so strong?"
"I don't know." Zeng Gong shook his head. Zeng Bu said: "It's a fellow villager of Zhong Fang, the wine merchant of Huangjiao Wine. The newly brewed wine has not yet been named. He said it was given to Uncle Ouyang today.
Taste it, I guess I want the leader of the literary world to give it a name."
"Then you must try it later." Ouyang Fa smiled and sent the Zeng brothers in, then greeted the next wave of guests: "Uncle Mei, you are in for a treat today. It is my brother from the Chen family who wants to bring you."
The new wine is here."
Uncle Mei was Mei Yaochen, who was the auctioneer at Fanlou that day. He was a veteran and talented man who had a close relationship with Ouyang Xiu and was known as Boya Ziqi. Hearing this, he laughed loudly and said: "
That’s great, I must have a drink today.”
Not long after Mei Yaochen entered, Han Wei and Cai Xiang arrived hand in hand. Not long after the two entered, Chen Ke and his brothers arrived, and sure enough they brought twenty jars of fine wine.
"Third brother, congratulations on the New Year!" Ouyang Xiu's eight-year-old son Ouyang Bian came out specially to welcome him. No way, who made Chen Ke lose face? Of course, this face was also transferred with a cart of New Year gifts.
"Come on, monk," Chen Ke picked up Ouyang Bian, spun him around a few times, and laughed, "Twirl around, run around!" After several years of interaction, he and the Ouyang family have become like relatives.
After the young monk was put down and the brothers went in, Chen Ke whispered to Ouyang Fa: "My future father-in-law and two uncles are coming later, so please be patient." This reminder is necessary.
Yes, the son of the leader of the literary world, even if he is not arrogant, he cannot greet everyone with a smile. With the temper of his father-in-law, what if he collapses?
His worry was not unnecessary. After a while, he saw the old-fashioned Su Laoquan, his two sons, and a meager gift arriving at the door of Ou Mansion.
Since he was Chen Ke's father-in-law, Ouyang Fa quickly stepped forward, bowed deeply and said, "Uncle Su and the two brothers, please come in."
"Yes." Su Xun just nodded and said yes, then walked in. The two brothers were left embarrassed, apologizing profusely to Ouyang... This year, my father's ambition was hard to achieve, and his temperament became more and more cynical.
"It doesn't matter, it doesn't matter." Ouyang Fa smiled softly. But he said in his heart, no wonder Brother Chen San wants to remind me, this good guy is really tormenting. He can't help but secretly sympathize with Chen Ke... He has to deal with such a situation.
A father-in-law.
However, he had a very good impression of Su Xun's two sons. He cupped his fists and said with a smile: "Brother Zizhan, Ziyou, I have really admired your name for a long time!"
At this time, Su Shi was already a well-known talent in Beijing, but his fame was spread among the people and famous prostitutes. Seeing that even Ouyang Xiu's son had heard of him, he was secretly happy at first, but then he became worried.
I am afraid that I will leave the impression that I am not doing my job properly to the leaders of the literary world.
But after all, he was Su Shi who was extremely friendly, and he quickly became involved with Ouyang Xiu's sons...
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
When it was almost noon, Ouyang Fa felt that the guests had almost arrived, so he ordered the door to be closed... Ouyang Xiu was going to entertain guests and friends today, so naturally he didn't want anyone to disturb him.
At this time, he saw a man with a dark face, wearing a round cotton hat, and a brown silk robe... When he looked closer, he saw that it was not a greasy cloth robe. In short, such a slightly slovenly man,
Holding a book in his hand, he walked past his door while reading.
"There is a dead end inside." Mr. Ouyang reminded kindly.
After hearing this, the man raised his head blankly, first looked at the front, and saw that it was indeed a wall, then looked back at him, closed the book and said, "Excuse me, little brother, is this the Ouyang Bachelor's Mansion?"
"Yes." Ouyang Fa asked someone to close the door and said with a smile: "There is a banquet at home today. My father won't see any guests. My friends can come over some other time." He has seen many such unconventional scholars with weird behaviors. He just wants to be new and different, causing a stir.
It's just for the sake of fame.
"Oh, I'm the one invited to dinner by Bachelor Ouyang." The man said, reaching for his pocket and pulling out a crumpled invitation book.
Ouyang Fa's eyes widened immediately. It was indeed an invitation from his family. Could it be that someone had lost it and let this guy pick it up? He took it suspiciously and opened it. He saw that the guest's name was - Wang Anshi.
I have something to do at home today, so I won’t start writing until this afternoon. But there won’t be too many updates, the next one will be at 12:00.
