This boy named Liang seems to like to meddle in other people's business. Why does he look a bit like the fourth prince? He just sent away a follower who couldn't get rid of him, and now another one has arrived. Although Chen Xianzhang, a teacher, stopped him, Liang Chu
Even though he insisted on going, everything stopped. Is this too indulgent? Ge Yong didn't even speak for him, so he couldn't get rid of this kid!
When leaving Ge's Mansion, Zhang Shou only felt a headache. However, Liang Chu became very quiet and honest at this time. Even after following him in the car, he did not ramble, which was very different from the person who always
The fourth prince who doesn't talk much.
Therefore, Zhang Shou could only pretend that this kid didn't exist, and kept a straight face along the way, as if he was really a helpless uncle who had been dragged into the mess by his second uncle. And Ah Liu, who had switched with the driver outside and drove the car himself again, did not
He said half a word of nonsense and drove quickly and slowly. After about at least two quarters of an hour, he stopped the carriage, jumped out of the coachman's seat, and opened the carriage door.
"Master, we're here."
Hearing Ah Liu's voice, Liang Chu was the first to get out of the carriage and jump out of the car. Since he had heard of Zhang Shou's reputation just a few days after arriving in the capital, he was certainly no stranger to Ah Liu. However, he just glanced at him.
He glanced at Ah Liu and did not ask rashly. Instead, he looked curiously at the guard next to the car who claimed to be the second son of Duke Zhao who came to report the news.
Zhang Shou got out of the car after Liang Chu and found a two-story street building in front of him. The plaque had four big characters written on it, Suzhou Guild Hall. At this time, his expression suddenly became subtle. You know, he also
He brought Ah Liu here to taste the chef's skills, and Hua Hui of the Suzhou Guild Hall was an old acquaintance of his.
Even the Fourth Master Hua of the Hua family, the richest man in Suzhou, joined forces with Cao Wu of the Shunhe Escort Agency because of his matchmaking, and is now running the maritime escort business. Although it has just started, it is said that the two parties had a very happy conversation, and the two
The person had previously negotiated an agreement with him about his shares, and planned to give him an additional 10% of the shares in addition to the shares originally agreed upon for his investment.
Zhang Shou really wanted to refuse righteously...but after thinking about it, he smiled and stopped.
But on the eve of the wedding, he changed hands and gave it to the emperor. The emperor planned to make a fuss in Linhai Camp and Zhenhai Camp. After all, certain interests had to be balanced. The emperor's return gift was also very generous, adding a box to Zhu Ying's.
It was a businessman who privately generously gave him a Tianjin trading company. As a result, the Hua and Cao families did not know that they had a backer behind them that was simply too hard to support.
Zhang Shouzheng thought so in his mind, Zhu Yi coughed lightly, lowered his eyebrows and said: "It was here that the second young master got into a fight with a few movers. I saw Hua Huishou from the Suzhou Guild Hall coming out to do it."
Peacemaker, but the second young master was still unwilling to let me go, and even insisted on forcing people to apologize. The two sides were at war with each other, so they hurriedly came to report to my uncle."
Zhang Shou glanced around and found that Zhu Ying was nowhere to be seen. He felt a little suspicious. When he heard that there were still some noisy sounds coming from the Suzhou Guild Hall, he couldn't help but frown.
If it was really Zhu Yi who came from here to report the news to him, and the round trip took half an hour, that is, an hour... If the turmoil still did not subside after a full hour, then the matter must be true or not, but this is not true.
It’s really a big fuss!
Sure enough, when he walked in with a calm face, what he heard was Zhu Er's signature shouting: "I'm just going to beat you, what's the matter? I look down on others and feel that they have failed the rankings time and time again, and I feel that they have just written
A few agricultural books are not like your collections of poems and essays that are circulated outside? Damn it, if you can let those girls from some building or courtyard sing, you will be very shameless, right?"
"If you have the ability, you can let people listen to Yu Xiaozhu's Twelve Rains and sing your lyrics, and I will at least say a word of admiration!"
When he said this, Zhu Er stepped on the stool with one foot and slapped the high waist with one hand. He acted like a playboy who bullies men and women on the street. Zhang Shou hadn't seen him for a long time.
Looking at this appearance, he suddenly remembered the time when he visited Zhao Guogong's mansion, and the scene when Zhu Er rushed in to talk to him.
Because there was Ah Liu that time, Zhu Er came in great spirits but returned in vain.
But this time, no one on the other side could control the unruly Zhu Er. Only half of one of the young men's faces was red and swollen, as if he had been slapped before, while the other two also had angry faces.
.However, Zhang Shou saw that the people around him didn't look at them with any sympathy, but instead pointed and pointed... At this time, he immediately knew something.
Obviously, regardless of whether Zhu Er's gang is from the Suzhou Guild Hall or not, at least these three are definitely outsiders.
Sure enough, just as he expected, Zhu Er seemed to be dissatisfied that what he just said was not harsh enough. After he smiled, he put his foot down, flicked the hem of his robe, and continued to speak: "The right way is for literati to look down on each other."
, but you should never be so disrespectful to someone I respect!"
"Criticizing people for not being knowledgeable about classics and history, not being good at poetry and writing. After so many years, they have written two books on agriculture that no one has read, and they will never be able to pass the imperial examination. Hey, don't you know that agriculture is the foundation of the country? Don't you know that what you eat is
The cotton we wear is also grown on the ground, and the silk used for silk clothes is made from mulberry leaves, oak leaves, etc. that are fed to silkworms and then spin cocoons?"
"Do you think you can survive without food or clothing with your poems that you are proud of? It's because there are so many scholars like you in the world who are not diligent in body and grain, but still talk nonsense.
That’s why the output of farmland in the world cannot increase, and why there are so many people in the world who work hard but can’t fill their stomachs! Because people like you don’t understand this at all!”
Although Zhu Er's words are very rough, and if you study them carefully, you can definitely find a lot of mistakes. However, in a place like Suzhou Guild Hall, angrily criticizing three people whose native places are Nanjing Yingtianfu is definitely politically correct these days.
.
Suzhou is an important silk weaving town, and the court's weaving and dyeing bureau is there. The annual taxes are the highest in Southern Zhili, with countless wealthy households and countless scholars. However, Nanjing Yingtian Mansion is the capital of Southern Zhili.
It is the only city in the world that can be called a capital. Even if Nanjing can select 60 talented people in each academic examination, Suzhou can only select 40.
However, it will be different every time when the Nanzhili Township Examination is held. The number of candidates for the Nanzhili Township Examination has increased from 80 at the beginning of the founding of the People's Republic of China to 135 now.
In terms of the number of candidates in each prefecture, if we make a statistics, Suzhou and Changzhou occupy the first and second place all year round, and Yingtian Prefecture is ranked third at most.
As for Songjiang Prefecture, which is second only to Suzhou in terms of wealth... Suzhou people say they don't take it seriously at all! Who makes you have the highest number of candidates in the entire South Zhili, and most of them rank fourth? Occasionally, you are ahead of the curve, and it is more than you should.
It’s just heaven…
Therefore, even if the two old Juren who were protected by Zhu Er were not from Suzhou at all, and there happened to be no other Juren from Suzhou in the guild hall at this time, since they were from Yingtian people, this naturally did not hinder those who lived at this time.
Those people in the guild hall stood firmly on Zhu Er's side. Especially when it came to the sentence "The four limbs are not diligent and the grain is not harvested at the right time". I don't know who took the lead in cheering and shouting "Hello".
After such a greeting, it was a thunderous sound. When Zhang Shou saw Zhu Er's cheerful and beaming look, and then when he saw the crowd thanking everyone for their cooperation, he felt as if he was watching a busker thanking those who beat him.
However, just as he was about to continue to look around, he did not expect that a voice could be heard behind him that could not be ignored.
"Yes, if you say that agricultural books are not as good as classics and history, that would make sense, but how can agricultural books be inferior to poetry and Taoism? My teacher, Mr. Kang Zhai, once went to the fields with his disciples to work in the fields, doing things, lecturing, and enlightening at the same time.
Students are not ashamed, but are proud of it. Not to mention that you are just a member of the imperial examination, even if you are selected as a Jinshi or a commoner in this subject, so what?"
"A crooked mind means that the path to study is crooked. If the path to study is crooked, how can you not be crooked when you become an official in the future! If the second son of Duke Zhao hits someone today, it is very wrong. Then you are 100% wrong.
wrong!"
"It doesn't matter whether you are in the examination or not, but at least you must know how to respect the old and love the young, and you must also understand the hardships of farming!"
Zhang Shou couldn't help but clenched his teeth gently.
He knew that the person behind him would follow him and he would definitely not just stay there and watch the results. As expected, he was just a firecracker that exploded at the drop of a hat... Looking at this situation, it would be better for him to fail in this subject.
.Otherwise, whether you choose a shujishi, be sent to a local magistrate, or be awarded a noble position such as a doctor of state, you will probably open fire on all sides and offend people to death.
No wonder most of the time, let alone the Jinshi examination these days, even the examiners and electors of the provincial examinations tend to suppress those who are too young but talented by one or even two terms, because in places like officialdom, young and energetic guys—
- Especially those who are under twenty - it is like a drop of water in a seemingly lukewarm oil pan, which can easily cause oil to splash everywhere and injure others.
That’s why examiners who appreciate talents will make people spend three years to temper themselves before taking the exam to serve as officials. Although the result of this is often that the sharp-edged and determined young man will be turned into a slippery and greasy young man...
Thinking of this, Zhang Shou didn't think about it at all. He himself was less than twenty. When he found that many people were looking at him, he shouted with a smile: "It is said that dandies and frivolous people often get angry.
Because of the beauty, I thought that today, Brother Zhu, you were going back to your old ways, but unexpectedly, you turned into a sage in anger, which is completely different from the past. But no matter what, it is wrong to hit someone."
The situation of the three Nanjing candidates was different. The instigator, who was covering his face, turned red at this time. The other two regretted that they had accompanied their companions to the Suzhou Guild Hall to seek justice for the humiliation they had suffered in the past.
But he met the second son of Duke Zhao's family who didn't care about the consequences at all, but his background was extremely tough!
Not only was his companion beaten, but these guys in the Suzhou Guild Hall were still cheering and cheering, and a young boy even jumped out and made some sarcastic remarks. At this moment, a guy came out and called Zhu Er brother Zhu Er!
However, Zhang Shou finally said something fair - it is wrong to hit people. Therefore, the young Juren who covered his face felt that he had grasped a life-saving straw, and he shouted angrily: "That's right, you
Beating me in the street is an unavoidable crime. Regardless of whether you are the second son of Duke Zhao or who you are, I am justified in reporting you to the Shuntian government office!"
Although Fourth Master Hua left the capital after attending Zhang Shou's wedding, the leader of the Hua Council was there. Just now he had served as a peacemaker but had returned without success. At this time, Zhang Shou had also arrived, and the young man who accompanied him turned out to be
He is also afraid that the world will not be in chaos and will help to tease and scold people. Naturally, he is the leader and the leader.
Fortunately, at the end of Zhang Shougang's words, he finally scolded Zhu Er. He was planning to take advantage of the opportunity to smooth things over, but he didn't expect that a certain guy got so angry that he actually said such cruel words.
With a bad heart, he suddenly caught a glimpse of Zhang Shou showing a smile, and suddenly he remembered the other person's character - there is no doubt that unlike his appearance of being a deity who seems to be indifferent to world affairs, Zhang Shou is actually a man who must retaliate against evil.
He is a ruthless person. Will he help his relatives or not? How strange! Zhang Shou has always been the person who protects his relatives, friends and students the most!
In an instant, Hua Hui leader made up his mind. He immediately stepped out and said with a smile: "This master from Yingtian Mansion, you just said that Mr. Zhu Er beat you up. Get rid of him."
Do your two friends have any other witnesses?"
As soon as Zhang Shou spoke, many people in the Suzhou Guild Hall had already recognized him - and even if they didn't recognize him, they could probably make a rough guess by asking the people next to them or taking a guess. After all,
, there is only one person in the entire capital who can call Zhu Er brother Zhu Er, and has such an appearance.
So, after hearing Hua Hui leader's obviously biased words, people looked at each other, and some people immediately laughed and said: "Yes, it was obviously you who dumped yourself in desperation after being scolded.
Damn you, why do you rely on the second young master? This is not the case with porcelain!"
Zhu Er found out that Zhang Shou had come, and was a little panicked for a moment. However, he found that Zhang Shou first praised him a few words when he arrived, and then said lightly that it was wrong to hit people. He didn't know that Zhang Shou was defending himself.
, immediately beamed with joy, even if the guy he had beaten screamed, he didn't take it to heart at all.
Sure enough, the next moment he was overjoyed to find that with the explicit words of favoritism made by Hua Guild Leader, other people in the Suzhou Guild Hall started to boo. Not only that, some people even shouted loudly: "Those talented guys from Suzhou
I happened to go out to meet friends, and when they come back, I asked them to write some clever articles and spread them around. This is really a big news!"
"That's right. When they go out to discuss the paper, they can also ask the senior officials from other provinces to comment on it!"
Following these garbled voices, the three young examiners who had just been filled with indignation suddenly turned pale. They were not from the same class this year. The one who was beaten was the new examiner this year, and the other two were from three years ago.
Those who won the exam were just accompanying their companions to regain their position. It is said that the person was scolded by these two old candidates who relied on their elders and betrayed them, and had been depressed for many years.
Who knew we would encounter such a difficult situation now!
Seeing that the three of them were already roasting on the fire, Zhang Shou glanced at the two old men with dull faces next to Zhu Er, thinking about saying hello. However, when he spoke,
But he was robbed again by a certain young man behind him.
"Have these two seniors really written agricultural books? The younger generation, Liang Chu of Guangdong, is also a candidate for the examination. Could you please tell me the surnames of these two seniors and where they are currently living? I would like to pay a visit with my tutor later. Mr. Bai Sha
I have always respected people who put themselves into practice."
