Chapter 768: Grandmaster, call for help
When Zhang Shou came back with a smile and a smile with the young man who claimed to be Liang Chu, as soon as he entered the study, he found that everyone's eyes fell on the two of them. And the next moment he could tell that it was not so much that people were looking at him, but that they were looking at the boy behind him, who was only two years younger than him. At this moment, he was suddenly a little confused.
Is there anything he doesn't know?
That's right, just the conversation in front of the clean roomβalthough the location of the conversation he thought was weird when he thought about itβhe had already figured out a lot of information from Liang Chu's mouth, including that there were four brothers in the family, and he would only be sixteen years old when he passed the lunar month, that is, in the first month of next year, and he had only studied under Chen Xianzhang for a year, because this was the time for the famous Mr. Baisha to return to his hometown......
But as far as Liang Chu said, it didn't seem to make the old man in front of him pay attention to this young man. Thinking of this, he thought about it for a while, and soon realized one point, that is, this young man who seems to talk a lot and has a somewhat out-of-the-box personality and is not patient enough, in fact, he does not have the city government at all, and he seems to have nothing to say just now, but in fact, he is still hiding something.
Sure enough, the next moment, he only heard Ge Yong greet with a smile: "Uncle Hou Xiaoyou, this is back?" I just said to everyone, you are a young man, majestic and heroic, it can be seen that the back waves of the Yangtze River push the front waves, and a mountain is even higher. It's a pity that your teacher doesn't plan to take the exam this year, otherwise this teacher and student will take the exam, but it will also be a good story! β
Zhang Shouke knows how difficult it is to have a science field in these years, don't look at the fact that there are two, three, and four people living in his house, it is because of his current status bonus, so that he can come and go without Bai Ding, otherwise, you look at the group of students in the public school, and look at the eldest brother of the classmate that the fourth prince and the little peanut Xiao Cheng knew, which is much bigger than Liang Chu, but he just planned to go to the county to take the exam......
Not to mention showing talents, those who have not passed the county examination are not even children......
Therefore, he couldn't help but turn around and look at Liang Chu twice, and then laughed: "Brother Liang Xian just said a lot, but he forgot to tell me that you are the exam-taker of this department, which is really too humble, right?" β
"Maybe it's not humility, but he's afraid that if he talks about fame in front of Master Zhang, he will be unhappy at that time." An old master on the side suddenly interjected, and as soon as the words came out, he realized that his words directly offended Zhang Shou and Liang Chu. However, he was about to make amends, but Zhang Shou had already opened his mouth slowly.
"I grew up in a late enlightenment, and I couldn't even talk about the classics and history, so when I used to teach history to students in the Mid-Levels Hall, I couldn't talk about it in accordance with the changes of dynasties, so I could only pick some fragments that I was familiar with and talk about them. Therefore, I don't expect this word fame in my life, but I still admire a young talent like Liang Xiandi. β
Speaking of this, Zhang Shou looked at Liang Chu with a smile, nodded slightly, and said: "Brother Liang Xian just got acquainted with me, and he always avoided talking about himself outside, but he was talking about how his master was erudite and humble, filial piety and kindness, and good at piano skills, and I couldn't help but admire Mr. Baisha even more. β
Chen Xianzhang's mood had just risen and fallen several times, and at this time, he couldn't believe his ears when he heard Zhang Shou praise himself through Liang Chu's words. Even if he had some fame in the past, it was just a corner of the name, but as a result, Ge Yong knew, and Zhang Shou also knew?
You must know that he came to the capital this time because the former prince of the country, who was quite famous in the imperial court, recommended him to the imperial court, and he was grateful that the other party had repeatedly written letters to invite him, so he had to come.
Even if for such a recommendation, the court may give him only an insignificant little official in the future, but for the sake of the senior's sincerity, he will do his best and return to his hometown after at least three years.
But who would have thought that Liang Chu, who just participated in the township examination in July and August, would really be named on the laurel list, so he insisted on sending him here on the grounds that he had seen the examination and sent him to Beijing as a teacher. As soon as he arrived, he received an invitation to Zhang Shou's wedding banquet, and it was endorsed by Lu Juan and Liu Zhiyuan, so he had to take Liang Chu to Zhang Yuan.
As a result, he and his disciples became the guests of Ge Mansion in a daze today. All this was far beyond his expectations. Just for him to weigh it again and again, after all, he still went to Zhang Shou's wedding banquet, even if he had not agreed to lecture at the public school, but the originally scheduled matter of Guozijian to give a lecture was pushed by the current Zhou sacrificial wine of Guozijian.
Even if the reason for Zhou Saijiu seems to be very sufficient, Chen Xianzhang understands better that this must be due to the old feud between Zhang Shou and Guozijian. He has no complaints about this, anyway, the scholars who really study are not in the capital. But if today's events are spread by these people in front of them, there will be more gossip. So, he sighed in his heart, and then he owed.
"I'm just a scholar, I don't dare to be the word Bachelor Zhang, today Mrs. Ge invited, I am also sincerely afraid. Uncle Hou is young, and Jinke is only a long experience, and he doesn't have much thought. It's just ......" he suddenly changed his words, but said calmly, "It's just that even if the field is ruined for a lifetime, it doesn't necessarily mean that nothing has been achieved." β
"My teacher, Mr. Kang Zhai, who founded the Chongren School, has never been in the field of science in his life. And it was the first time I tried it in the past, and then I went to worship him. In terms of fame, he is just a white body, but I am a person, but don't say it's me, how many Jinshi perform the gift of disciples in front of him, and how many people can rely on fame and official position to look down on him? β
Speaking of this, Chen Xianzhang looked at the proud disciple who sent him to Beijing this time, and said earnestly: "Uncle Hou, Zhizhi Gewu, will be in one book, the capital is prosperous, you don't want to be blinded!" β
Zhang Shou could hear that these words were obviously punned, not only to warn Liang Chu, but also to tell others that he was not aiming to be famous, or even famous, so if the teachers and students encountered any means in the capital, it would be a big deal to leave their sleeves and return to their hometown indifferently.
Sure enough, he saw the old man who had just been aggressive, and his face suddenly became ugly. And the others are also looking at each other at this time.
He thought it was because of Chen Xianzhang's hidden words, but he didn't expect Ge Yong to suddenly laugh: "When Shi Zhai talks about Wu Kangzhai, he is really famous in the country. When I went to Chongren in my early years, I went to see him. Over the years, he has been closed to his disciples and devoted himself to teaching his disciples, not only as a model of the teacher, but also ......"
As if looking for a suitable adjective, Ge Yong thought for a while, and then said word by word: "And it's Grandmaster Confucianism." I won't say the word "grandmaster" now, and someone will give it to him in the future. Shi Zhai, you too, the name of Mr. Baisha in Guangdong, I have been famous for a long time. β
Most of the rest of the old men looked at the provocateur with a little subtlety in their eyes at the moment, and some even snorted gloatingly.
Now you're dumbfounded, you thought it was a young junior, but you kicked it on the iron plate, which is simply a typical example of self-inflicted.
What do you have to provoke this Chen Shizhai, who seems to have a very peaceful personality at first glance, I didn't expect that the person was from the Chongren school, right? Do you really think that the group of people in the Chongren School are vegetarians?
Chen Xianzhang's teacher, Mr. Kang Zhai, single-handedly created the Chongren School, known as the fragrance of peach and plum, but most of the disciples of a group of disciples did not go to the field and never wanted to be out of office, so at first glance, it seemed to be a folk school, and it had no influence in the officialdom. But the problem is that year after year, day after day, there are already a lot of disciples and grandchildren, and it is not an exaggeration to say that it is the first school.
Moreover, in this day and age, who can devote themselves to learning and don't care about the future of fame and fame, who are they? First of all, the qualifications are absolutely top-notch, so that you can make such a choice. Secondly, the family must be at least solid, don't look at the outside often say that who has studied hard for decades, is poor and self-sufficient, has no good clothes when he dies, and can't afford to buy a decent coffin to collect, sighing......
How many so-called poor scholars have you seen who can be so poor that they can farm their own land without having to be a tenant or a long-term worker?
As for what he died with, he couldn't find good clothes to put away and couldn't afford to buy a decent coffin...... That's normal, because in this era, the period from illness to death is the same as that of later generations when they fall ill in their later years, and it is the most expensive! A well-off family may be bankrupt because of an illness, and it is not normal for a scholar to lose all his family wealth when he dies of illness?
Is there really any need to worry about burial? In the past, so many students and disciples taught in vain? So many classmates met for nothing? Just a funeral with a gathering of sages may be enough to benefit the descendants of children and nephews for a long time.
Therefore, such a school, led by Wu Kangzhai, who Ge Yong personally identified as a Confucian master, a group of backbone disciples with solid family backgrounds and top learning continue to accept disciples everywhere, and many of these third-generation disciples are top qualifications, and many of them are family scholars...... The most important thing is that most people from top to bottom are impeccable in moral integrity, can this be provoked?
It's a pity that they were introduced to Ge Yongna before and took it crookedly, after all, Chen Shizhai's three words are not so famous...... But Chen Baisha's three words, that is famous!
Seeing that the old man who was stirring up trouble was sitting on pins and needles under the gaze of others, his face was full of unnaturalness, as if he was trying to find a reason to try to flash people first, Zhang Shou couldn't help but sigh in his heart, this is the case in any era, a lot of people are together, some people just like persimmons to pick soft pinch, once they find that they kicked the iron plate, but they immediately coaxed.
He originally thought that Chen Liang, the teacher and student, was very interesting, but now that he found that they were a pair of cattle, he didn't have any icing on the cake - could it be that he still got an axe in the class and went to talk nonsense about Wang Yangming's doctrine in front of others? What are you kidding, even if he recites the complete works of Wang Yangming, he can't pretend to be the saint who is praised by many people.
Moreover, he didn't plan to entrap Chen Xianzhang's teachers and students...... The small ones will take the exam well, and they will take the right path as an official in the future, and the big ones will go back and continue to teach well all over the world.
Therefore, seeing that the atmosphere was not right, Zhang Shou pretended to be dead this time and did not say anything. And the one who is also as well-behaved as a quail, as well as Liang Chu, who has just used his urine to escape. This time, he knew very well that it was his words and deeds that caused this dispute, and he knew that going back would definitely cause the teacher to teach him a lesson, so where did he dare to take the lead.
He didn't speak, Chen Xianzhang faced Ge Yong's beautiful words, but he had to smile bitterly and humbly excuse himself. And just when the old man who was sitting on pins and needles was probably wondering whether to pretend to be physically exhausted and retire, a voice suddenly came from outside.
"Old Master Ge, can my young master spare time now? The people around the second prince of Zhao Guogong's mansion came to report urgently, saying that the second prince and people had a fight. They didn't dare to tell Zhao Guogong and the eldest prince, nor did they dare to go to the eldest lady, and after thinking about it, they could only come to Gefu to find the young master. β
When others heard this, they only listened to the literal meaning, and at this time they only thought that it was Zhu Er, the famous gentleman of Zhao Guogong's mansion, that is, Zhang Shou's second brother-in-law, who caused an accident and needed Zhang Shou to end it. However, how could Ge Yong not know what the current situation of Zhu Er, who was barely regarded as his apprentice grandson, was now?
This is a person who is about to get married, how can he be so irrational and not calm? And most importantly...... When did Ah Liu talk so much, and say so much as soon as he opened his mouth? There's definitely something wrong with that!
In the spirit of having nothing to do, and by the way, Zhu Erbei lost his reputation in the old people in front of him for no reason, Ge Yong asked unhurriedly: "Isn't Zhu Erlang now changing his mind and being a new person?" How could he do something with someone for no reason? β
In the face of Mrs. Ge's questioning, Ah Liu answered unhurriedly. But Zhang Shou, who was familiar with him, could hear that he was urgently organizing a statement: "The second son happened to find two Shilin seniors who had written agricultural books, but after looking for them, he found that the two were old people fifty miles away, and they were being ridiculed by several young and vigorous juniors, and they started in anger. β
Speaking of this, Ah Liu paused, and then said in a heavy voice: "What is the result, the people who came to find the young master didn't have time to see it, but it was probably not a small matter, so people said that they also asked the young master to go to the rescue." β
Zhang Shou in the middle couldn't help but stretch out his hand to support his forehead, and the first feeling in his heart was that Zhu Ying understood what he meant, so he designed such a play so that he could get out. The second feeling is whether this is real or not! If it's true, it's too coincidental, and it's too big, but if it's fake...... How can Zhu Er turn around?
Secretly hoping that this thing was true, Zhang Shou stood up and arched his hand at Ge Yong: "Teacher, I can't sit idly by and watch the matter over there Zhu Erlang, can you allow me to retire first?" β
When I don't know your fancy intestines...... There's no ghost in this, I'm writing this word upside down! Ge Yong glared at Zhang Shou angrily, but in the face of the particularly sincere eyes of the closed disciple, he still had to say angrily: "That's also my apprentice, you can go, when you see someone, remember to scold him for me, the gentleman doesn't move, he can't help it!" β
But speaking of this, Mrs. Ge suddenly changed her words: "The new people look down on the old-timers, what a hellish atmosphere is this!" β
As soon as the words fell, Liang Chu, who was very well-behaved just now, immediately jumped up: "There is such a thing, Master Zhang, I will go too!" β
