Lin Yanchao's words, most of the Confucian children present did not understand. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

And the old master, Zhang Guihe was speechless with embarrassment.

The old master secretly turned his head and wiped away his tears, but he still said, "It's all nonsense here." ”

After teaching the thousand-character text, Lin Yanchao chatted with the old master and Zhang Guihe in social studies, and gradually acquaintances in the township also came one after another.

The first to arrive was Zhang Zongjia, and after his son Zhang Haoyuan was a child, he went to Fengchi Academy to study, moved to the city, and became a member of Lin Yanchao's Wenlin Society. And Zhang Zongjia still stayed in Zhangcuo.

As for Zhang Jing's descendant Zhang Xiang, he went to prison and was not in the local area.

Now everyone hears that Lin Yanchao has returned to the township, and they all want to meet this young man who went out of Hongtang Social Studies and learned about Yuan. Lin Yanchao's former classmates, such as Zhang Songming and others, also came.

More than a dozen friends who are studying in social studies have already grown up, and they have taken off the youth of their youth, and they still have beards on their lips.

When I met my classmates when I was a teenager, I couldn't help but sigh, Lin Yanchao bowed his hands one by one, and these classmates didn't dare to say anything, so they even avoided making a big salute.

I haven't seen everyone for many years, and there are a lot of estrangements, and Lin Yanchao has a lot of things to say when he sees everyone, but he holds it in his heart, and he doesn't know what to say.

At that moment, Lin Yanchao took a few taels of silver, stuffed it in Mr. Zhang's hand and said: "I haven't seen you classmates for a long time, I want to invite everyone to have a meal, and Mr. Lao will set me a few tables of decent banquets." ”

Zhang Zongjia heard this and hurriedly said: "Xie Yuanlang, this can't be helped, you are a guest, I am a host, this is not possible." ”

Mr. Zhang resolutely refused to accept it, and then went to the ancestral hall to Zhang Luo's banquet.

The ancestral hall of the Zhang family was originally Hu Tixue. Where Zhou Zhi County saw Lin Yanchao, Mr. Zhang set up three tables of banquets for Lin Yanchao.

After three rounds of wine at the banquet, everyone was estranged and the conversation box opened.

Lin Yanchao inquired about everyone's news, and it has indeed changed a lot in the past five years, such as Zhang Guihe. Zhang Songming is still studying and preparing for next year's county exam, but many of his classmates gave up the road of studying and taking the test early, and they either worked as buddies or went to work in the fields at home.

There are several people who have become relatives early, and even children can make soy sauce.

But most people are working hard for life, and they are still struggling without being famous, and it is easier to work at home to give birth to a baby. But the taxes and miscellaneous labor were heavy, and they were overwhelmed.

A classmate asked Lin Yanchao: "Xie Yuanlang, you are now a lifter, and you can be regarded as a master, you don't have to pay grain taxes, can you say a word to those officials and let them pay less taxes and slow down." Let us people take a breather. ”

Lin Yanchao said ashamedly when he heard this: "I don't count what I said about paying grain and taxes. ”

The classmate sighed and said, "That's what I said." But life is hard. ”

Lin Yanchao said: "Everyone, my family has opened a silver shop in the city, if you want to go to the government to pay taxes and pay silver, you can go to this shop in the city to exchange silver, report my name, you must take care of the villagers, I am ashamed." Although I won the lift, there is only so much I can help you. ”

Everyone listened and said: "Where, where, Xie Yuanlang has a heart." ”

That night, Lin Yanchao drank a lot of wine and talked a lot with his classmates. This moment is a bit similar to a college reunion, where the classmates of the year are singing together 'Youth is like a rushing river, and it is too late to say goodbye if you don't come back'.

Since embarking on the road to fame. It was the first time for Lin Yanchao to indulge himself so much and let himself have a hangover.

That night, Lin Yanchao was drunk and slept all night at Mr. Zhang's house.

The next day, Lin Yanchao woke up early in the morning, and after getting drunk in the past, he had a splitting headache, but after waking up this time, Lin Yanchao's spirit was never better.

With this drunkenness, Lin Yanchao finally let go of Lin Yin's suicide in his heart, and the doubts that had been trapped in his heart before disappeared.

When Mr. Zhang entered with the sobering soup, he said strangely: "Xie Yuanlang, why did you sleep all night, and the whole person is different?" ”

Lin Yanchao smiled and said, "Really? It seems that he is going to live up to Mr. Zhang's bowl of sobering soup. ”

Lin Yanchao had breakfast at Mr. Zhang's house, drank three bowls of gruel in a row, and then came to social studies.

"Heaven and earth are yellow, and the universe is desolate. The sun and the moon are shining, and the sun and moon are shining. The clear and crisp sound of the Confucian children reading echoed in the social studies.

Lin Yanchao stood quietly outside the window, listening to the old master and the Confucian children's lectures, and after the Confucian children left the hall, Lin Yanchao went in to see the old master.

The old master said: "When I saw you yesterday, my face was confused, but I will see you again today, but there is a sharp spirit, I don't know what happened overnight?" ”

Lin Yanchao said: "It's nothing, it's just that the disciple has figured out why he is studying." ”

"Why study?"

"The truth is in everyone's original heart."

"What was your original intention?"

"Self-cultivation, Qi family, governing the country, and leveling the world."

The old master pinched his beard and said: "Yesterday you said that I thought about it all night, and came up with a truth, the Confucian character is dismantled and the word is needed for people, if you close the four words of Qi Zhiping, you can say a truth, such as when the manpower is poor, retreat and cultivate his body, do not bother others, this is his own need, is for self-cultivation; If you are wealthy, and then honor your parents, take care of your wife, and take care of your children, that is, everyone in the family needs it, this is the Qi family; If the power is richer, then the official will become an official, and do a little thing for the community, that is, for the needs of the people, this is governing the country; If it is the one who achieves it, he should help the world, that is, the needs of the common people, and this is the peace of the world. ”

Lin Yanchao said: "Mr. is right, the manpower is uneven, but in a timely manner, it can be called a Confucian character if it is done in a timely manner." Disciples will practice words with deeds and practice the Tao with deeds! ”

After that, Lin Yanchao took out all the silver taels from his body, about a dozen taels of broken silver, and put them on the old master's table and said: "I still have some money, please ask Mr. to buy paper, pen and ink for the disciples, and I read a lot of books in social studies, I have wrinkled, and I can't read the words clearly, I still have a lot of books at home, anyway, I don't need to go to Beijing to catch the exam, and I will send it to Mr. in a few days." It can be regarded as a disciple to do something useful for social studies. ”

The old master unceremoniously accepted the silver and said: "Rich people, poor talents, you can't run out of money now, and I won't be polite to you as a teacher." ”

When Lin Yanchao cleaned up, he walked out of Zhangcuo.

Walk to the entrance of the village.

Lin Yanchao bowed to the old master and said, "The disciple has taken his leave, please take care of your body." ”

The old master said, "It's okay, I'll send you here." You say you don't forget your original intention, but I hope that wherever you are, don't forget, when you first walked, don't forget, you learned from this society! ”

Well, Lin Yanchao responded, looked at the village, and kept the green mountains, green water, green fields, ploughing cattle, houses, cooking smoke, all these things firmly in his heart. (To be continued.) )
