Chapter seven hundred and sixty-eight master, for help
When Zhang Shou came back with the young man who called himself Liang Chu with a smile, as soon as he entered the study, he found that everyone's eyes were on the two of them. And he could tell in the next moment that people were not looking at him so much.
, it might as well be said that he was looking at the boy two years younger than him behind him. At this moment, he was suddenly a little confused.
Is there anything else he doesn't know?
That's right, just in the conversation in front of the cleaning room - although the location of the conversation seemed strange to him when he thought about it - he had already learned a lot of things from Liang Chu, including that there were four brothers in the family, and that after the twelfth lunar month,
That is to say, he will only be sixteen years old in the first month of next year, and has only been studying under Chen Xianzhang for a year, because this famous Mr. Baisha only has this time to return to his hometown...
But these words Liang Chu said did not seem to make the old men in front of him pay attention to this young man. Thinking of this, his mind changed and he soon realized one thing, that is, this seemingly talkative person
Moreover, the young man with a somewhat out-of-touch personality and lack of patience is actually not without any integrity at all. He seemed to be talking about everything just now, but in fact he was still hiding something.
Sure enough, the next moment, he only heard Ge Yong greeting him with a smile: "Young friend Shuhou, are you back? I just told everyone that you won the national examination as a young man, and you are so majestic and heroic. It can be seen that the waves behind the Yangtze River push the waves ahead.
There is a mountain higher than a mountain. It's a pity that your teacher doesn't plan to take the exam this year, otherwise it would be a good story for both teachers and students to take the exam!"
Zhang Shouke knows how difficult it is in the examination room these days. Even if there are two, two, three and four candidates living in his home, it is because of his current status bonus that he can come and go without any white people. Otherwise, you see
Look at the group of students in the public school, look at the eldest brother of the classmate whom the fourth prince and little peanut Xiao Cheng met, he is much older than Liang Chu, but he has just planned to take the county examination...
Let alone a scholar, a scholar who has not passed the county examination cannot even be called a child...
Therefore, he couldn't help but turn around and look at Liang Chu more, and then laughed: "Brother Liang Xian just said a lot, but he only forgot to tell me that you are the examinee of Jinke. This is really too much."
Are you humble?"
"Maybe it's not humility, but he's afraid that talking about fame and fame in front of Zhang Shou will make him unhappy." An old master on the side suddenly interjected, and as soon as the words came out, he realized that his words directly affected Zhang Shou.
He and Liang Chu were offended and went in. However, just as he was about to make amends, Zhang Shou had already opened his mouth slowly.
"I was educated late in childhood, and I didn't even have a rough understanding of classics and history. So when I taught history to students in Banshan Hall, I couldn't talk about the changes in dynasties in succession. I could only pick out some fragments that I was very familiar with.
.Therefore, I have no hope of success in this life. However, I still admire young talents like Liang Xiandi who have achieved success at a young age."
Having said this, Zhang Shou looked at Liang Chu with a smile, nodded slightly and said: "Brother Liang Xian just met me. Before, he always avoided talking about himself outside, but he talked a lot about how his teacher was knowledgeable, humble, and filial to his parents.
Mu, who is good at playing the piano, I couldn't help but admire Mr. Baisha even more after listening to it."
Chen Xianzhang's mood had been ups and downs just now. When he heard Zhang Shou praising himself through what Liang Chu said, he couldn't believe his ears. Even if he had some fame in the past, it was just a glimmer of fame. As a result, Ge Yong knew
, Zhang Shou also knows?
You must know that he came to the capital this time because the former Imperial College Prince Jijiu, who was well-known in the imperial court, recommended him to the imperial court. He was grateful that the other party had repeatedly written letters to invite him, so he had to come.
Even for such a recommendation, the imperial court may only give him a trivial official position in the future, but for the sake of the senior's sincerity, he will do his best and work for at least three years.
Then go back to your hometown.
But who would have thought that in July and August, Liang Chu, who only took part in the provincial examination as if to test the waters, would actually be nominated for the Guileban, so they insisted on sending him here on the grounds of seeing him in the national examination and sending him as a teacher to Beijing.
.And as soon as he arrived, he received Zhang Shou's wedding invitation, which was endorsed by both Lu Wan and Liu Zhiyuan, so he had no choice but to take Liang Chu to Zhang Garden.
As a result, he and his disciples became the guests of the Ge Mansion in a confused way today. All this was far beyond his expectation. After weighing it for him, he finally went to Zhang Shou's wedding banquet, even if he
He had not yet agreed to give lectures at the public school, but his original plan to give lectures at the Imperial College was pushed back by Zhou Jijiu, the current head of the Imperial College.
Even though the apparent reason for Zhou Jijiu seems to be very sufficient, Chen Xianzhang understands better that this must be due to the old grudge between Zhang Shou and the Imperial College. He has no complaints about this, since the scholars who really study knowledge are not in the capital anyway. But
If what happened today were spread among the people in front of him, there would be even more rumors. So, he sighed in his heart and then bowed.
"I'm just a scholar, and I don't dare to be respected as a scholar by Zhang. I'm also sincerely frightened when Mrs. Ge invites you today. Uncle Hou is young, and he only has a lot of experience in this subject, and he doesn't think much about it. It's just..."
He suddenly changed his tone and said calmly, "It's just that even if you spend your whole life wasting time in exams, it doesn't necessarily mean that nothing will be accomplished."
"My teacher, Mr. Kang Zhai, who founded the Chongren School, has never been to the examination room in his life. And it was only after I passed the examination for the first time in the past that I went to become his disciple. In terms of fame, he is nothing but
I am a white person, but I am the one who promotes people, but don’t say it’s me. How many Jinshis hold the ceremony of disciple in front of him, and how many people can rely on their fame and official position to look down on him?”
Having said this, Chen Xianzhang looked at his proud disciple who was sending him to the capital this time, and said sincerely: "Uncle Hou, I know how to study things, and we will gather together in one book. The capital is prosperous, so don't be blinded by it!"
Zhang Shou could hear that these words were obviously pun-intended. He was not only warning Liang Chu, but also telling others that he was not interested in fame, or even fame. Therefore, if the teacher and student encountered any tricks in the capital, they would probably just walk away.
Go and return home calmly. If you don't go to the examination hall in this life, your reputation will not necessarily be weakened.
Sure enough, he saw that the face of the old man who had been aggressive just now suddenly turned ugly. At the same time, the others were also winking in twos and threes.
He thought it was because of Chen Xianzhang's hidden words, but he didn't expect that Ge Yong suddenly laughed: "When Shi Zhai talks about Wu Kangzhai, he is really famous in the world. When I went to Chongren in the early years, I even went to see him.
.In these years, he has stayed behind closed doors and devoted himself to teaching his disciples. He is not only a role model for teachers, but also..."
As if looking for a suitable adjective, Ge Yong thought for a long time, and then said word by word: "And he is a scholar. If I don't say the word "grandmaster" now, someone will give it to him in the future.
.Shi Zhai, you too, I have been known as Mr. Baisha of Guangdong for a long time."
Most of the remaining old men looked at the provocateur with subtle expressions at this moment, and some even snorted in gloating.
You must be dumbfounded now. You originally thought you were a young junior, but in the end you kicked yourself onto the iron plate. This is a typical example of bringing your own fault.
Why do you want to provoke Chen Shizhai, who seems to have a very peaceful personality at first glance? You didn't expect that he came from the Chongren School, right? Do you really think that the people of the Chongren School are vegetarians?
Mr. Kang Zhai, Chen Xianzhang’s teacher, single-handedly founded the Chongren School, which is known as the Fragrance of Peach and Plum. However, most of the disciples did not go to the imperial examinations and had no intention of becoming officials. Therefore, at first glance, it seems to be a folk school with no official status.
Influence. But the problem is that year after year, day after day, they have a lot of disciples and disciples. It is not an exaggeration to say that it is the first school.
Moreover, in this day and age, who are the people who can focus on learning without caring about fame and future? First of all, the qualifications must be absolutely top-notch, so that they can make such a choice. Secondly, the family must be at least well-off, despite what is often said outside.
So and so studied hard for decades and was poor and self-sufficient. When he died, he didn’t have good clothes and couldn’t afford a decent coffin to bury him in. He was so sad...
Have you seen how many so-called poor scholars are so poor that they can farm their own land without having to be a tenant or a long-term laborer?
As for someone who can’t find good clothes to bury him in when he dies, or can’t afford a decent coffin...that’s normal, because in this era, the period from illness to death is the same as later generations falling ill in their later years.
Money! Even a well-off and well-off family may go bankrupt due to an illness. Isn’t it normal for a scholar to lose all his wealth when he dies of illness?
Is it really necessary to worry about burial? There were so many students and disciples taught by Bai in the past? So many classmates were acquainted by Bai? Just a funeral with a gathering of talented people may be enough to benefit the descendants of my nephew and descendants for a long time.
Therefore, such a school is led by Wu Kangzhai, who Ge Yong personally recognized as the master of Confucianism. A group of backbone disciples with well-off families and top knowledge continue to recruit disciples everywhere, and many of these third-generation disciples have top qualifications.
Many of them are from family backgrounds... The most important thing is that most people from top to bottom have impeccable moral integrity. Can this be messed with?
It's a pity that they were misled by Ge Yongna before. After all, Chen Shizhai is not that famous... but Chen Baisha is very famous!
Seeing that the old man who started the trouble was sitting on pins and needles under the gaze of other people, with an uncomfortable look on his face, as if he was trying to find a reason to escape first, Zhang Shou couldn't help but sigh in his heart, it is like this in any era, with a lot of people together,
Some people just like to pick up the soft persimmons, but once they find that they have hit an iron plate, they immediately get scared.
He originally thought that Chen Liang, a teacher and a student, was very interesting, but now that he found out that they were such a talented couple, he had no intention of adding anything to the cake - could it be that he was just doing his own thing and talking nonsense about Wang Yangming's theories in front of them?
What a joke, even if he recited the complete works of Wang Yangming, he still couldn't pretend to be the saint praised by many people.
Moreover, he has no intention of winning over Chen Xianzhang, the teacher and the student... The younger one will take the exam and become an official in the future and follow the right path, while the older one will go back and continue to teach and teach people all over the world.
For those students from public schools who are truly grassroots, unless they are really lucky to encounter one or two outstanding prodigies from poor backgrounds, forget about the rest.
Therefore, seeing that the atmosphere was not right, Zhang Shou pretended to be dead this time and said nothing. And there was also Liang Chu, who was as well behaved as a quail just now. He knew very well this time that it was his words and deeds that caused this
There was a dispute, and Qing Zhi would definitely get a lesson from the teacher when he returned home. How could he dare to take the lead?
He didn't speak, but Chen Xianzhang had to smile bitterly and decline modestly when faced with Ge Yong's kind words. And just when the old man was sitting on pins and needles, probably wondering whether he should pretend to be exhausted and resign, suddenly there was a sound from outside.
a voice.
"Teacher Ge, can my young master take some time now? The people around the second young master of Zhao Guogong came to report urgently, saying that the second young master was fighting with someone. They did not dare to report Zhao Guogong and the eldest young master, nor did they dare to go find them.
Miss, after thinking about it, you can only come to Ge Mansion to find the young master."
When others heard this, they only took the literal meaning. At this time, they only thought that it was Zhu Er, the famous playboy of Zhao Guogong, who was Zhang Shou's second uncle, who had caused trouble and needed Zhang Shou to put an end to it. However, how could Ge Yong do that?
I don’t know what is the current situation of Zhu Er, who can barely be regarded as his disciple?
How could this person, who is about to get married, be so irrational and calm? The most important thing is... when did Ah Liu become so talkative and talk so much as soon as he opened his mouth? There is definitely something wrong with this!
With the intention of looking for trouble and letting Zhu Erlang lose his reputation among the old people in front of him for no reason, Ge Yong asked slowly: "Didn't Zhu Erlang change his mind and start a new life? How could he miss this opportunity?"
Fighting with someone for no reason?"
Facing Master Ge's question, Waijian Ah Liu answered in a leisurely manner. But Zhang Shou, who was familiar with him, could tell that he was urgently organizing sentences: "The second young master happened to be looking for two people who had written agricultural books.
Senior Shilin, unexpectedly, when he went to find them, he found that the two men were old people over fifty years old, and they were being ridiculed by several young and energetic juniors, and he took action in anger."
At this point, Ah Liu paused for a moment, and then said in a heavy voice: "What happened? The people who came to see the young master didn't have time to see it, but it's probably a serious matter, so they said that the young master should be invited to come and help."
Zhang Shou inside couldn't help but put his hand on his forehead. The first feeling in his heart was that Zhu Ying understood what he meant, so he designed such a trick to let him escape. The second feeling was - is this true or false?
! If it is true, it is too coincidental, and it will cause too much trouble, but if it is false... how can Zhu Er turn around?
Secretly hoping that this was true, Zhang Shou stood up and raised his hands to Ge Yong: "Teacher, I can't just sit back and watch Zhu Erlang's affairs. Can you please allow me to resign first?"
When I don't know about your frivolous heart...it's okay, I write the character "ge" upside down! Ge Yong glared at Zhang Shou angrily, but facing the particularly sincere eyes of the closed disciple, he still had to
He said angrily: "That's my disciple, too. Just go if you want. When you see someone, remember to scold him for me. A gentleman talks but doesn't do anything. He can't help it!"
But at this point, Mrs. Ge suddenly changed the topic: "New people look down on the old people, what the hell is this!"
As soon as he finished speaking, Liang Chu, who had been very well-behaved just now, immediately jumped up: "Such a thing has happened, Bachelor Zhang, I will go too!"
