Chapter 588: Two Scholars (First Update)
Midwinter. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ο½iqugeγ ο½ο½fo
It snowed heavily in Kyoshi.
The wheels of the pannier ploughed two deep ruts in the snow.
The pannier sedan passed in front of a scholar and stopped in front of the hall. The scholar saw the men standing in front of the hall, and when they saw the sedan chair, they rushed up and grabbed the head of the sedan chair.
A man in brocade clothes walked out of the pannier, who grabbed a handful of copper coins and scattered them in the snow.
When several disciples saw it, they squatted on the ground to pick up the money, scrambling with each other, and hurriedly said: "Thank you for the reward!" Xie Zhu Gongzi reward! β
The brocade-clothed boy didn't look at it and walked into the hall.
The entourage beside the young man in brocade said: "When our master wins the Jinshi in the spring of the next year, the reward will be a hundred times more than now." β
"Zhu Gongzi Wenqu Xing is down to earth, not to mention Jinshi, the champion is also within reach." The disciples said flatteringly.
The scholar looked at the young man in brocade and the faces of several disciples, with a sneering look on his face, snorted, patted the two hot steamed buns on his chest, and continued to walk into the snow with a broken umbrella.
The poor scholar walked two streets to an old house.
Pushing open the door, the cold wind swept in.
The poor scholar struggled to close the door, but saw a thin scholar on the kang, leaning by the window, reading a few pieces of paper in his hand in the sunlight.
The thin scholar looked very focused, and he didn't even know that the poor scholar had entered the door.
The poor scholar shook his head and said, "Brother Meimei, don't look at it anymore, hurry up and eat this steamed bun while it's hot." β
After speaking, the poor scholar took out the two steamed buns from his arms, looked at the window paper with a few holes and said: "Before the year, I need to paste the window and make up for it." β
The thin scholar lying on the kang got up and said with a smile: "Shaojing, come and take a look, this is really well written." β
Seeing that the thin scholar was about to get up, the other party immediately stepped forward and said; "Brother Meiming, quickly put on some clothes, your body is not good yet, so get up in a hurry, if you really suffer from the cold again, you will really become a lifeless brother."
The thin scholar laughed when he heard this, so he put on a fox fur according to his words, which was a precious thing, not like the two impoverished scholars.
The poor scholar took the paper from the thin scholar's hand, and before reading the article, he first saw the circles and dots outlined on it, which were all the opinions of thin reading. The poor scholar read the article carefully, and then said unhappily: "Brother Meimei, what kind of article is this?" What is the teaching of the saints? β
The thin scholar smiled: "Shaojing, the teaching of the sage is in it, and I have heard and heard it differently, today I went to the bookstore to see if there is a new Cheng Wen, and I saw a lot of people holding a copy of the Di to discuss, that is, the controversy of this article, I listened to a few words and felt very good, so I borrowed someone else's Di Bao to copy it back, although I only read it for a while, but Yu Jingyi understood it even more. β
The poor scholar hurriedly said: "Brother Meiming, are you sick and confused?" In the Nangong exam the year after tomorrow, we need to use Cheng Zhu's commentary to interpret the scriptures, and this article says that 'the inner saint does not need to be the outer king', and he keeps talking about his deeds, which point is in line with Cheng Zhu's way. β
The thin scholar smiled and said: "Shaojing, don't be in a hurry to make a judgment, Cheng Zhu's commentary on the scriptures is said by the imperial court, and this copy is also done by the imperial court." Since this article is contained in the scriptures and debates, it has the meaning that the court took it out and discussed it in the court. β
"What's more, I heard that Zhang Jiangling in the court is still doing things and seeking to change the law, maybe I released this article, and I also have the meaning of listening to the rumors of the government and the opposition. If my expectations are good, if Zhang Jiangling is still in the court when Nangong takes the test in the next year, you will talk less about the way of life in the article and more about the study of merit, and the eight achievements of the article can be sold! β
The poor scholar heard the word 'sell', and said with a wry smile: "Don't mention Nangong tried, Jiazun is Gao Xinzheng's proud protΓ©gΓ©, as long as Zhang Jiangling is in the morning, I will not have a bright future." β
The thin scholar sighed: "Shaojing, it's all because I have affected you." If it weren't for the fact that I didn't know anyone, I had this serious illness, and my money was stolen by the house slaves, I wouldn't have tired you to scatter and entangle me to heal my illness. With this money, you can also use him to make some way, and ask Lingzun to say a good word in front of Zhang Jiangling, how can you accompany me to live in this alley. β
The poor scholar listened and said, "Brother Meiming, where are you talking about this?" If I were to use this money to bribe Zhang Jiangling, then I would like to die immediately. If you treat me as a true friend, then don't talk about it, take care of your illness, and be admitted to the Jinshi in the next year, even if you repay me. β
The thin scholar didn't know what to say when he heard this.
The poor scholar stuffed the steamed buns into the hands of the thin scholar and said, "Eat the steamed buns." β
The thin scholar nodded, took the steamed bun and ate it in a big bite, even the steamed bun crumbs that fell on the kang.
Seeing this, the poor scholar broke half of the steamed bun in his hand and said: "This steamed bun is sufficient, one top two, I ate one on the road, and you even ate this half, so it is in vain that I braved such a heavy snow and walked such a long way." β
In fact, this poor scholar was so hungry that he gurgled in his stomach, and he had eaten it halfway.
The thin scholar pretended not to know, and took the remaining half of the steamed bun and ate it fiercely.
This thin scholar is named Guo Zhengyu, the word is beautiful, the original Putian people, in order to avoid the Japanese rebellion to move to Jiangxia, his father Guo applied for an official to the Nanjing Military Department Shangshu, is a Lian Chen with the same name as Hai Rui.
And this poor scholar is called Yu Yuren, the word Shaojing, Jingyang, Shaanxi, and his father Yu Zun is Shang Bao Sicheng, who was demoted for offending Zhang Juzheng.
Guo Zhengyu and Luo Yuren are both the second generation of officials, and they came to Beijing to study and travel together, preparing to go to the exam, but when Guo Zhengyu came to Beijing to catch the exam, he became seriously ill, and the house slave took the opportunity to steal his property and slip away, so he was destitute. Yu Yuren and him are only friends in a few faces, but they are willing to scatter and entangle him to treat his illness.
In the end, the two were kicked out by the innkeeper together, and the two were ashamed to beg for help, so they rented a dilapidated house to study, but fortunately the money left on their bodies was enough to support the spring of the next year, otherwise they would have to go out to ask for food.
Yu Yuren ate half of the steamed bun, but he was even more hungry, so in order not to let Guo Zhengyu see the clues, he picked up the paper and read it again.
Although Yu Yuren couldn't read the deviant words in the article, he read the theories of science such as 'Zhengyi Mingdao' over and over again.
He felt that it was wonderful, and a famous Confucian who was not a scholar of science could not say such a thing, but unfortunately he was refuted by the other party's sophistry one by one.
Yu Yuren looked at it for a while and suddenly said in surprise: "Do you know who is the person who debated the scriptures at this feast?" β
Guo Zhengyu hurriedly finished eating the steamed bun and choked a little: "I haven't finished reading it yet, who wrote it?" β
"It's today's Hanlin Zhongyun, last year's champion!"
Guo Zhengyu coughed a few times after hearing this, and then after snatching the paper from Yu Yuren's hand, he said with surprise on his face: "Lin Sanyuan is worthy of everyone who has learned the scriptures, if he is not enough to say such splendid words, I really hate to worship under his door!" β
Yu Yuren smiled bitterly. (To be continued.) )
