Chapter 767: Guests, Teachers and Students
Zhang Shou admires those who can understand the scriptures and history when they return to ancient times, understand the past and the present, and then create a school and become immortal.
As far as his knowledge accumulated in later generations is concerned, it is barely enough to understand ancient texts, after all, he is also an honor student who can get high scores in ancient Chinese reading questions, because of his memory, he can also recite a lot of poems and articles, and after coming to this world, his memory has even been strengthened. However, this was far from enough for him to cope with the academic environment full of talents and Confucianism in these years.
The most important thing is that there is no corresponding teacher to teach him this at the best time for his body to grow and develop! If someone can easily study the Four Books and Five Classics by himself, and then talk to any famous scholar and Confucian about the truth, it definitely does not include him.
After all, his teacher Ge Yong is certainly a genuine Confucian, but the relationship between him and Ge Yong is really indescribable. Really speaking, he didn't really start reading Mr. Ge's works until he returned to Beijing, and Ge Yong left the arithmetic classics in the bamboo house between Cuiyun before...... Because of poor preservation, it has long since turned to ashes.
But thanks to this beautiful misunderstanding, he became Ge Yong's student, and then he was able to swagger and deceive like he is now...... But because Mr. Ge didn't have time to teach him things like scriptures and history, of course, he couldn't keep up with those old pedants who were really well-read and liked to speak from the sidelines.
Therefore, at this time, Zhang Shou stayed in the main hall of Ge Mansion, facing the few celebrities and scholars who were said to be highly respected and famous introduced to him by Ge Yong, he seemed to behave elegantly, humbly and politely, and talk and laugh freely, but he was really bored and helpless in his heart.
He also knows that the recognition of scholars in these years is the foundation of officialdom, otherwise, don't look at your former power, but when the coffin is decided after death, a group of people who are in charge of the Spring and Autumn Period history can splash a lot of dirty water on you. As a result, you are obviously quite literary and well-written, but you may be said to be unlearned and vulgar, as for your writings......
Hehe, if no one prints books, no one buys books, after those books are lost, can you still jump out of the grave and fight with people? After all, the guy who was judged to be in such a coffin generally has no successor, but as long as someone inherits the mantle and still holds power, then this kind of Shilin's backlash, or counterattack, will be constantly postponed.
Therefore, of course, he understood that Ge Yong had good intentions and really wanted to introduce him, a closed disciple, to others. And Lu Juan and Liu Zhiyuan are also well-intentioned, because they follow his original concept and hope to make the public school bigger and stronger, so it is bound to pull in many scholars who were previously excluded from the core power circle of the court.
However, it is really not a good feeling for people who do not have a common language, or even those who are very far apart from each other in their basic three views, to sit together and talk about the world. In Zhang Shou's view, these people are completely different from his teacher Ge Yong.
Ge Yong is old, but he has a childlike heart, which does not mean that Mrs. Ge is still childlike and disrespectful to the old, but that Ge Yong has never felt that he has climbed to the top in academics, so he refuses to accept new things, and even the Arabic numerals that he has always been unwilling to accept are now handy under the influence of his students.
Not to mention, Ge Yong was completely unaware of it, and he planted the book mountain of "Ge's Arithmetic New Edition", which was originally promoted by the old man and had to acquiesce, but later he simply admitted in public that it was written by his student.
Moreover, Ge Yong also has one of the biggest characteristics, that is, he never likes to brag about the past, brag about the old achievements, and is always committed to looking at the future. I like to reminisce about the eventful years of the past, which is the old man's home; And like to constantly study new problems, accept new things, no matter how old you are, but in your heart is a young man who never says old.
Therefore, even if these people in front of them are talking about learning, they are still praising Ge Yong as a student, boasting about his achievements, and bringing out those students...... But more often than not, most people are talking angrily about who was suppressed in the past by the court, the respect of those parents and officials in their hometowns, and how their protΓ©gΓ©s and disciples were.
Of course, there are a total of eight visitors today, and not everyone is full of grievances and complaints, at least, Zhang Shou only sees the last two seats, and he has always listened a lot and said little, and those academic issues such as scripture and history will occasionally interject, but as long as they complain about these topics, the two will decisively not mix.
One is a thin middle-aged man who is about forty or so, Ge Yong introduced that it was Chen Shizhai, a famous man from Guangdong, who was in the township test in his early years, but unfortunately he tried again and again, and then Ge Yong called each other a Shizhai. Zhang Shou can deduce from common sense that the word Shizhai is definitely not a table word, and most of it is his own number.
However, not to mention that today's Ming Dynasty is very different from the Ming Dynasty in history, just say that the Ming Dynasty in history, he may still remember some people's words, but the number is ignorant, and he has not met any historical celebrities for more than a year, so he has not thought too deeply. I just think that compared with those guys who rely on the old and sell the old, this person is neither humble nor arrogant, and he really looks pleasing to the eye, and he should be a real Confucian.
And the young man surnamed Liang, who was sitting under his head and was said to be his disciple in the room, had obviously much worse endurance, and from the same perfunctory perspective, Zhang Shou could see clearly that he had been quietly adjusting his sitting posture, probably because this young man felt that since he was sitting at the bottom, it was too late for others to talk to Ge Yong, and of course it was impossible to notice him.
But since Zhang Shou saw it, he couldn't help but feel a little interesting. So, when the little servant of Ge Mansion brought tea, he personally got up and gave Ge Yong a lamp in the name of respecting the teacher, and then handed it to the other guests one by one.
For Zhang Shou's act of respecting teachers and the elderly, those elderly people couldn't help but praise a few words, and then took the opportunity to introduce their own students and juniors to Ge Yong - there is no doubt that most of them will take the entrance examination next year.
While speaking, they all quietly glanced at the last teacher and student.
Ge Yongxia invited them to come to the house to write papers, saying that he also invited other people, and the place was limited, so next time he had the opportunity to invite them to bring his son and nephew, but these two were obviously teachers and students, but they made an exception. If you want to say that the other party is famous, they haven't heard much of the reputation of Chen Shizhai in Guangdong, and listening to the tone, people will try to fall a few times, and they are young, and they must be very early to create a school.
And this Uncle Liang with Chen Shizhai is only fifteen or sixteen, and he is a young man who is a talented talent, where is there anything worthy of Ge Yong's attention?
Zhang Shou noticed the special nature of the teacher and student, and also noticed the faint hostility and isolation of several other old men towards people, but of course he didn't care about their attitudes, and continued to send tea with a smile.
Immediately after, the young boy smiled and said: "Today I was lucky enough to step into Gefu, and I don't know what luck I had, I should be here to serve tea and water to everyone, how dare you work Teacher Zhang?" β
He paused when he said this, and then coughed a little embarrassed: "But I was so nervous that my mouth was a little dry before I came, and I drank a stomach full of tea, and I couldn't sit still at this time, can Master Zhang kindly show me the way?" β
Seeing that people could say it so directly, Zhang Shou couldn't cry or laugh. Seeing that Chen Shizhai who was the teacher was also unbearable to look at directly, he didn't hear Ge Yong on the main seat behind him object, so he smiled and said: "I happened to drink a lot of tea, and I also plan to go to the clean room, you come with me." β
With disciples...... In fact, it was also a coincidence that the students were accepted to go to the capital, Chen Shizhai felt that he was really not paying attention, and there would be countless moths popping up in this too young boy. At this moment, he didn't have to think about it to know that his student was very interested in Zhang Shou, who was only a little older, so he borrowed Gong as an excuse to talk to someone.
But the problem is that Zhang Shou is not very old, and his qualifications are not deep, he can't stand such a person but married the daughter of Zhao Guogong, and now he is the teacher of the prince of the East Palace, and he is also very trusted by the emperor, can such a person be measured by the mind of an idle boy? Although he is willing to go out and do his best to do something for the country and the people, his desire is to distance himself from the powerful.
For people like them, who have no roots in the capital and have no roots in the court, it is unwise to rashly step into the whirlpool of political disputes!
However, before Chen Shizhai could speak, he saw that Zhang Shou had already led people out with a smile. Rao is that he disapproves of his student's rash move, but it is impossible to chase him out by himself - could it be that he also said that he drank too much tea and went to the clean room? But the result that he had to stay was that someone had already stabbed him in a salty way.
"This student from Shi Zhai is really casual enough."
Casual words are not good words not only on the current occasion, but also on any occasion. Rao is Chen Shizhai has always been kind to people and doesn't like to fight with others, but at this time, he can't help but feel angry.
However, before he could fight back, he heard Ge Yong above suddenly laugh: "We older ones should be a little more tolerant, you know, Uncle Hou Xiaoyou is only the same age as Jiuzhang." β
Affectionately calling Uncle Hou Xiaoyou, Ge Yong said casually: "Since ancient times, heroes have been born as teenagers, and Jiuzhang can put forward new ideas on many issues that I don't have a clue about at a young age, and of course other young talents will not necessarily lose to him." For example, Shi Zhai, this student of yours is really young and talented, and he is heroic, not only did he get the first place in the hospital examination at a young age, but he was also ......"
He paused for a moment, and saw that the eyes of the other people were different, so he said unhurriedly: "Moreover, this August laurel list, he is impressively inscribed, and he is among the best, but in the end, I don't know how many eyeballs have fallen, am I not wrong?" β
As soon as these words came out, it really caused an uproar. The young man surnamed Liang just now was only a few years old, and they were angry at Ge Yong's clear statement that they should not take the students, but they clearly acquiesced...... It is even very likely that Chen Shizhai brought a student with his permission. As a result, now Ge Yong actually said that this little hairy child is already a lifter?
A handful of them are old, some are jinshi, and some are lifters - after all, the lowest threshold for celebrities who travel around the capital in these years must be at least a lifter, otherwise you are a down-and-out talent, where do you have the face to come from to the right gate?
After all, there is a big difference between the so-called Baume & Mercier and Coats.
Those scholars who were willing to be poor and started the mountains to teach and educate people were simply resigned, unwilling to be officials at all, unwilling to come to the capital at all, and devoted themselves to studying hard in the countryside and teaching knowledge. And such a group of people have no intention of being in the field, and they are not even willing to take the test, but they are recommended by countless magistrates and even high-ranking officials in the DPRK, but they are not willing to go to the capital to bend their waists and become officials.
As for the celebrities and celebrities, the allusion to the shortcut to the south, it has already portrayed many people's faces very clearly.
Therefore, at this moment, Chen Shizhai saw that the faces of the other people present were red and white, especially the old man who was the first to question, at this time his face was as gloomy as the eve of a thunderstorm, although he knew that Ge Yong's words were kind, but he still couldn't help but feel a little bad. After all, becoming famous at a young age is not necessarily a good thing in many cases.
Once it becomes the target of public criticism, this subject falls off the list again, and then a few more subjects, just gossip can easily frustrate a young man with lofty ambitions to death......
Liang Shuhou outside didn't know that his whim had caused a small storm inside. He followed Zhang Shou out of Ge Yong's study, and he couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, seeing that Zhang Shou didn't notice his presumptuous behavior, he couldn't help but take two steps forward and shorten the distance between him and Zhang Shou.
"Master Zhang, did you think that kind of occasion was particularly dull and boring just now?"
After being slightly stunned, Zhang Shou smiled without looking back: "Aren't you too?" I see that you have changed no less than five or six postures while sitting there, and it is obvious that you can't sit still, so you have a trick to pee. β
The word urine escape is naturally extremely vulgar at first glance, however, Liang Shuhou, who was praised by Ge Yong as a majestic and heroic hair, only felt that it was extremely appropriate, and actually nodded again and again: "That's right, yes, I just think that since Mrs. Ge is inviting everyone to talk about learning, either to argue or to lecture on the scriptures, all in that quote scriptures to pull the relationship, isn't it a bit of putting the cart before the horse?" β
Quoting scriptures to pull the relationship...... How dare this kid say it! That's a brilliant adjective!
Zhang Shou almost didn't laugh out loud, but fortunately he held back for a while and maintained his image as an elegant son. When he got to the back clean room, he wanted to say if he wanted to pretend or not, but who knew that this young Liang Shuhou didn't even want to pretend, so he looked around for a while, and then straightened his chest and looked at Zhang Shou.
"Just now, when Mrs. Ge introduced me and the teacher to Master Zhang, you and others, she was a little vague. My surname is Liang, a single name is a storage character, the table word is thick, and I am the third in the family. My teacher's surname is Chen, he is a member of the chapter, and he is called Shizhai. But in Guangdong, everyone calls him Mr. Baisha. You didn't know it before, but you will definitely remember our teachers and students in the future! β
Mr. Baisha? Mr. Baisha Chen Xianzhang? One of the four famous Confucian temples in the Ming Dynasty? The origin of Wang Yangming's psychology? Didn't this kind of person get lost by the wings of a butterfly? At this moment, Zhang Shou felt for the first time that the history of a bend seemed to be coming back.
