Chapter 64: Poetry and Righteousness (Part 1)
Then the two sat down on the table, Lin Yanchao accompanied him, and his wife added a pair of dishes and chopsticks, but although she was a master's wife, a woman could not serve it on the table.
After the banquet was finished, the master and wife left.
Three dishes and one soup, it's simple, Lin Chengyi said to add two more dishes, it seems that the couple only have one dish and one soup on weekdays! However, judging from the Lin family's attention to Lin Chengyi, this is not slack, but it is speculated that the Lin family style is like this, preferring frugality and not luxury.
Lin Yanchao talked with the comers.
In the discussion, the identity of the person Lin Yanchao is also generally clear, this person's name is Lin Shibi, he is the eldest son of Lin Xuan, a member of the five products of the current dynasty, and the senator of the General Political Department. In addition, Lin Tingji, the old Shangshu Xianggong, is his third uncle, Lin Xian, the Shangshu of the Nanjing Ministry of Industry, and Lin Yan, the prefect of Taiping Mansion, are his uncles. In this background, the capital at the feet of the Son of Heaven, there are few Yanai who are better than him.
Regardless of the background, this person is not the kind of useless gentleman, but talented. Lin Shibi was regarded as a prodigy when he was a teenager, with a township name, and even regarded as more outstanding than the uncles of several Zhongjin scholars.
Everyone thought that the Lin family was going to send out another jinshi and continue to take the imperial examination.
Lin Shibi's name as a prodigy passed by like a meteor, and at first some people thought it was another Fang Zhongyong, but his new poems are still touted. Everyone knew that this kid was biased. Although it is not too far away, it has gone from the time to the poetry.
Because I will take the test, the township test will not test the poems.
Later, the family found that Lin Shibi was getting more and more wrong, and instead of staying at home all day to study and make progress, he went out to drink and sing, and took it as pleasure to make friends with three religions and nine streams. This refusal to make a name for himself and his intoxication with poetry all day long made his father and the elders in the family hate that iron is not steel, and finally he was grounded in the ancestral house to study, and he was no longer allowed to sing poetry and harmony with his friends.
Lin Shibi is not afraid of grounding, but he is afraid that he will not find like-minded friends to drink. It happened that Lin Chengyi moved to live in the ancestral house, and Lin Shibi found him for a drink.
Lin Chengyi and Lin Shibi chatted about poetry and songs at the banquet.
On the table, Lin Shibi spoke straightforwardly, quite a true temperament, and really had the grace of a famous man of the Wei and Jin Dynasties. In the Ming Dynasty, under the constraints of science, most of the scholars were self-denying, and it was rare to see such scholars.
Lin Yanchao looked at Lin Shibi and thought of Confucius's words, if he couldn't go with it, he would be crazy. The mad are enterprising, and the ruthless are not doing anything.
The general idea is that if you can't find someone who behaves in a moderate way, you can be a friend, and you associate with a madman. The madman dares to do it, and he does everything; The ruthless person is self-disciplined and does not do anything.
Lin Shibi is probably such a crazy person.
The conversation between the two is poetry, and Lin Yanchao has little ink in his stomach in this regard.
But if you can't interject, don't interject, and even if you can, don't show off something in front of others, that's very vulgar. Lin Yanchao didn't want to show himself, although Lin Shibi was the one in the ya, but he was sitting up straight, there was nothing to stutter about, just treat him as a gentleman.
But don't act like you haven't seen the world, and lose Lin Chengyi's face. Anyway, if you are young, then be low, and diligently add tea and wine to Lin Chengyi and Lin Dacai, so as not to leave a bad impression.
As the saying goes, I am quick to say and quick to act, and the words of Confucius shine on me all the time.
Halfway through the banquet, a servant walked in and said to Lin Shibi: "Young master, the second uncle is back, and the old man invites you to meet him." ”
"Don't go, don't go, it's the same old saying when you see it." Lin Shibi said at the moment.
The servant did not dare to say anything more and withdrew.
Lin Shibi saw Lin Yanchao and said: "This must be to recommend Brother Shi to Hu Tixue's disciples." ”
Lin Chengyi smiled and said, "Yes." ”
"What are you reading right now?"
"The Analects, the Analects."
Lin Shibi sighed: "Another child who is deeply harmed by the eight shares, the harm of the eight shares is worse than the burning of books, and corrupts talents, the Qin Emperor was in the suburbs of Xianyang, and there were only more than 460 people, but now the imperial court uses the eight shares to take the people, and the people who are harmed are more than thousands." ”
Hearing Lin Shibi say this, Lin Yanchao couldn't help but feel a little unhappy, now he was reading Baguwen and was getting started, but he was suddenly poured a basin of cold water, thinking that this person actually attacked my favorite Baguwen, if it weren't for the sake of you being a child of the Lin family, I would definitely fight back.
Lin Chengyi also said: "My disciple is aspiring to do business, and it is harmful for you to say this." ”
"Brother Shi, I'm just a person who woke up from my dreams as soon as possible, if I wasn't willing to concentrate on my career, I would be more than a talent today. It's not that I don't want to, it's just that I don't take it. ”
Speaking of which, Lin Shibi asked Lin Yanchao again: "Where are you studying now?" Who is the current karma? ”
Lin Yanchao replied: "In Lianjiang Academy, the teacher's surname is Lin Liao. ”
Lin Shibi drank some wine, and said even more wildly between his words: "Lin Yin, that old pedant, this person is pedantic, there is nothing to talk about, as for Lin Liao, he is not my junior, let alone such a person who separates the scriptures and thinks he can do things." ”
This is an attack, no matter what, Lin Yanchao has to fight back to defend the teacher's face, which is also what a disciple should do.
Lin Yanchao said at the moment: "Uncle Shi's words are wrong, the mountain chief and Mr. Lin are both virtuous gentlemen and people of the Tao, and the little nephew has benefited a lot from them, so Uncle Shi can't be slandered like this." ”
After speaking, Lin Yanchao took out Lin Shibi's silver ingot from his sleeve, put it on the table and said: "Uncle Shi's gift, the little nephew is ashamed of it, and now the original thing is returned, and I ask for forgiveness." ”
A manly man, he can't be without temper and assertiveness, and hurt his teachers and friends, just to stand up and tear his face is not hesitating.
Lin Shibi took a sip of wine, laughed loudly and said: "This young man is still a little tempered, I am kind enough to persuade you, it is better to give up Shiwen and learn poetry with me, I will teach you from the beginning." ”
"Thank you, but I'm not interested in your poetry. The imperial court uses eight shares to take scholars, even if I have Li Bai and Du Fu's talents in poetry, I can't get in the promotion, Jinshi. ”
Lin Shibi's face turned cold when he heard this: "Raise people, Jinshi, and be ashamed." Lin Yin and Lin Liao were confused, and the disciples they taught were also confused. ”
Lin Yanchao said: "The students are confused, but the mountain chief and the speaker Lang Qingyu do not allow Uncle Shi to say this." ”
"Okay, okay," Lin Chengyi said, "Yanchao, Uncle Shi is an elder, you can't say nothing, and you don't make amends to Uncle Shi." ”
Lin Yanchao listened to Lin Chengyi's words and said: "Sir, the disciple wants to apologize, but where the righteousness lies, the disciple does not think that he is wrong, if someone else slanders Mr. in front of the disciple, the disciple will also cut off his robe and break off his righteousness." ”
Lin Chengyi's face was expressionless when he heard this, but he was still very useful in his heart, and he still blamed Lin Yanchao on his face and said: "What kind of cutting robes and breaking righteousness, things are straight and straight, if it is to blame me, can you also help your relatives or not?" ”
"Brother Lin, that's a good point," Lin Shibi patted his thigh and said, "This should be a big deal, except for Brother Lin, there is no child left in the world in my eyes, I am really smart, but Brother Lin's disciple is too confused, I will discipline him for you." ”
"Discipline?" Lin Yanchao said, "I don't know how Uncle Shi is going to discipline him?" ”
Lin Shibi and Lin Chengyi all laughed. Lin Shibi said: "Your disciple is powerful, and he has no stage fright at all. Didn't you say you're not confused? I'll test you a few questions, and if you can answer them, I'll take back what I said. ”
"Yes, but only in the scriptures." Lin Yanchao blocked the other party's words in one mouthful. The other party's poems were published into a collection, and Shilin sang it, and he just listened to this person and Lin Chengyi talk about a poem, and he couldn't even understand half a word, so don't humiliate yourself now.
"Four books? You're not afraid that I won't be able to answer your poems. Lin Shibi scoffed. Lin Shibi yearns for Tang poems and Song words from the bottom of his heart, and disdains the empty words of Baguwen, and he really disdains it from the bottom of his heart to talk about Bagu.
Lin Yanchao sneered lightly: "When today's article is heavy, why bother talking about the Han and Tang Dynasties, Uncle Shi said that his poetry is very strong, but there is no public opinion on whether he writes well or not, and the eight shares of scholars, who is high and who is low, is clear at a glance." Uncle Shi has tried and failed, and he has long lost his sharpness, and he only dares to boast about himself in poetry, so as to cover up his shortcomings, in the final analysis, it is just a weak heart. ”
"In fact, the real reason is that Uncle Shi is afraid of losing to others in the scriptures!"
