At this time, or if he has a request for others, Xiao Wenxuan's face is serious, a little less mocking and mean, but it is not as annoying as before. (The text is first published in the reading cabinet biquge.info)
It's just the words of his mouth, but they are really the words of a villain.
On the other hand, Xu Qingyan didn't expect that Xiao Wenxuan, who was originally just his own sarcasm, would really make such a despicable and shameless request.
Therefore, as soon as Xiao Wenxuan's words fell, before Zhao Junchen could answer, Xu Qingyan was already furious and scolded loudly: "You guy, you have no face and no skin?" Didn't you be raised by your mother's father? ……”
Xu Qingyan wanted to scold again, but in the middle of his words, he was interrupted by Zhao Junchen waving his hand.
Looking at Xiao Wenxuan in front of him with interest, Zhao Junchen asked, "Since I have given away those silvers, they are no longer for me, how can I still ask for them back?" Still, I'd like to hear your reasoning. ”
Seeing Zhao Junchen's refusal, it seemed that it was not negotiable, Xiao Wenxuan frowned, as if he wanted to say something, but he shook his head again, and said slowly: "Look at your funding Li Ruiyin two, as soon as you make a move, it will be thirty or fifty taels, I am afraid that it is a rich family, obviously a gentleman who does not know the world, it is rare to have a good heart, but I don't know that I have done bad things with good intentions." But because of this, although I have my reasons, I can't explain it clearly to you, and even if I do, you can't agree with it, so why should I explain it? That's it. ”
While speaking, Xiao Wenxuan was about to turn around and leave.
At the same time, the sarcastic and mean mocking smile resurfaced on his face again, a picture of "everyone is drunk and I am sober", which makes people unhappy.
Seeing Xiao Wenxuan like this, Xu Qingyan was furious again, and he was about to make a move, but he was still stopped by Zhao Junchen.
"Can I understand, I'm afraid it's my business, and since you have made a request, you must explain the reason. If you could convince me, I wouldn't have said yes. ”
Zhao Junchen said.
Xiao Wenxuan's expression aroused Zhao Junchen's interest.
Listen to Zhao Junchen say this. Xiao Wenxuan frowned slightly, but he still stopped, and looked at Zhao Junchen a few more times. finally asked in a cold voice: "Childe, do you think that with what Li Rui is doing now, he is really doing his filial piety for his deceased mother?" ”
"Isn't it?"
Without waiting for Zhao Junchen to answer, Xu Qingyan already asked rhetorically.
Xiao Wenxuan sneered: "Philistine! Li Rui's mother has worked hard all her life. and did his best, just for him to read and write, hoping that he would one day be able to gain fame, but now that the spring is approaching, with Li Rui's talent. It is very likely that the title of the apricot list, but because of the death of his mother, just for the name of a 'filial son', he gave up the opportunity that his deceased mother finally won for him, so that his mother's life hard work turned into flowing water, and all the expectations of his life were shattered. ”
Apparently. Xu Qingyan has never considered a problem like this. couldn't help but be stunned, vaguely feeling reasonable, but still retorted: "You are arguing with strong words, I have a spring festival every three years, but Li Rui has only one chance to send his mother to the funeral and keep filial piety." According to you, it's just for a chance to try the spring. Is he going to let his old mother go into the ground, and when the time comes, no one will send him away, and he will not succeed? ”
"That's why I say you're a philistine." Xiao Wenxuan pursed the corners of his mouth, full of sarcasm: "Of course." I have a spring festival every three years, but there are unforeseen circumstances, I gave up this spring festival, and the next spring festival will be three years later, three years, not long, not short, who knows what will happen in these three years? Not to mention that Li Rui is just a useless student, ignorant of the world and ignorant of business, after three years, he is afraid that he will not even be able to make up the money for the passage to Beijing-
After a pause, Xiao Wenxuan said again: "Also, Li Rui is now twenty-seven, if he delays for another three years, he will reach the age of establishment, and he will no longer be young, and his energy and strength will turn from prosperity to decline." At that time, even if the knowledge has been improved, the opportunity for the title of the apricot list is far less than today. Even if he is lucky enough to pass the examination, and the ranking is determined by His Majesty in the palace examination, he will suffer a great loss when he is a little older, and he is obviously a second-class talent, but in the end he is afraid that he can only be condescended to the third-class, so how can he be worthy of his deceased mother? And how can such an act be regarded as filial piety? ”
Speaking of this, Xiao Wenxuan seemed to remember something, and there seemed to be a flash of gloom in his expression.
Listening to Xiao Wenxuan's explanation, Xu Qingyan was still a little unconvinced, but Zhao Junchen nodded secretly.
In the imperial examination, age seems to be insignificant, but in fact it has a great impact.
The imperial examination seems to be a test of learning, but the influence of body and energy can not be ignored, take the spring examination as an example, a total of three exams before and after, each exam time is as long as three days, the examination place is very small, the length and width are only four or five feet, after putting in the table and chairs, it is even difficult to turn around, three days, eating, drinking, Lazar and sleeping, all in it, its hard work, needless to mention, a little older, less energetic, can not survive at all, and how can you get good results in the examination?
What's more, after the examination, there is also the palace examination, the ranking is determined by the emperor, at this time, in order to show the prosperity of the dynasty, the ranking of the first, second, and third ranks is often the younger ones are more advantageous, and the two tribute students who are not much different in talent and knowledge are often the younger they are, and the higher the ranking.
Since ancient times, the imperial examination has always been a result when you are still young, and the older you are, the more slim your hope becomes, which is precisely the reason.
………
Looking at Xiao Wenxuan in front of him with interest, Zhao Junchen, who had been silent, suddenly opened his mouth and smiled: "It turns out that everything you did was for the sake of Li Rui, and it was also a bad thing for me to do with good intentions." But hearing you say that, I am even more curious, why don't you explain these words to him yourself? It is said that you and that Li Rui used to be good, but now although they are opposed, if you explain patiently, he can listen to him, so why play the villain? ”
Seeing that between Zhao Junchen's words, he seemed to agree with his own point of view, but Xiao Wenxuan was stunned.
In the Ming and Qing dynasties, the Confucian view has long been the rule of the world, "filial piety is the beginning of the foundation of all good things", has long been deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, especially in the eyes of readers, when the parents pass away, even if it is a big thing, it is not as important as the funeral and filial piety for the parents. And Xiao Wenxuan's views are not an exaggeration to say that they are apostasy in this era.
But then, the ridicule and mockery in Xiao Wenxuan's expression became more and more obvious, and he said coldly: "There are countless mediocre and laypeople in the world, how many can see through it?" That Li Rui is a foolish and filial person. He only knows that filial piety comes first, but he doesn't know how to be filial piety, and my words are just fallacies in his opinion. How could he listen? ”
Then, after a moment of silence, Xiao Wenxuan's voice was slightly low, and he said, "What's more." He has already cut ties with me, and although I have told him this, it has made him even more despised for my character. ”
Then, it seems that he doesn't want to say too much, and he doesn't seem to be used to showing his heart to others. Xiao Wenxuan's expression gradually became impatient, his words changed, his eyes met Zhao Junchen's, and asked: "After I won the silver money in his hand, I cut off his hope of returning home. but it has ruined my plan. Now I'm going to explain why. It seems that you don't seem to be a pedantic person, and you didn't reprimand me, and you can understand it, in that case, are you willing to get back the money that was funded by Li Rui? ”
Zhao Junchen seemed to be smiling, and looked at Xiao Wenxuan in front of him again.
Under Zhao Junchen's scrutiny. Xiao Wenxuan's eyes flashed with annoyance, obviously not used to being looked at like this.
A moment later. Zhao Junchen suddenly smiled, shook his head and said, "What you said is reasonable. Unfortunately, you still couldn't convince me, because you forgot one thing. ”
Xiao Wenxuan raised his eyebrows and asked, "Oh? I don't know what's going on? ”
Zhao Junchen sighed lightly and said: "You can understand your own ideas and concepts, and I can understand them, but the world can't understand them." If others learn the news in the future, and find that Li Rui not only did not return to his hometown to keep filial piety during the death of his old mother at home, but instead sought fame for himself, an impeachment excerpt goes, Li Rui will be robbed of his fame and spurned by the world, it can be expected. In this way, you are harming Li Rui's future. ”
Xiao Wenxuan retorted: "I also understand this, so I won his return money and broke his idea of filial piety......"
Zhao Junchen waved his hand and said: "At that time, he may not have a chance to explain, not to mention, in the eyes of many people, even if Li Rui has no money to return to his hometown, even if he begs on the street, he should give priority to returning to his hometown as his mother and keeping filial piety." The most important thing is that even if this matter is not discovered, with Li Rui's temperament, his mother has just passed away, but he is forced to participate in the spring examination, do you really think he can still get good results in the exam? Even if he doesn't lack talent to learn, but his mind is in turmoil, and it's okay if he doesn't have a name. ”
Xiao Wenxuan originally wanted to persuade Zhao Junchen, but he suddenly found that he was gradually persuaded by Zhao Junchen.
Seeing that Xiao Wenxuan gradually fell silent, Zhao Junchen shook his head and said leisurely: "Sometimes, there are some truths, you and I understand and think it is right, but if it is wrong in the eyes of the world, then you and I can only think that it is wrong, no matter what you and I think in our hearts." It has nothing to do with hypocrisy or integrity, otherwise it will only be regarded as heretical and suppressed by the world. The words "go with the flow" are not only a choice for people to live in the world, but also the fundamental way for us to live and live, because you and I cannot go against the general trend, although the truth is in the hands of a few, but it is never a few people who determine the general trend. ”
Between speaking, Zhao Junchen looked at Xiao Wenxuan in front of him again, and saw that he was thoughtful, but the mocking and sarcastic look between his expressions remained the same, so he seemed to advise, and seemed to laugh at himself, and said leisurely: "I see that you seem to have your own thoughts in your heart, different from the world, although I don't say it explicitly, but I am afraid that there is also a pride in my heart that the world is drunk and sober, but forgive me for speaking deeply, here to say a few more words, in this world, how many smart people, and how many foolish people, is often the most difficult thing to guess, because the world is pretending, So you and I have to disguise, many truths, many people understand, but everyone doesn't say it explicitly. Whether the world is really drunk or fake, whether the world is really drunk and you are the only one who is awake, or you think you are sober alone, if you can't pretend to be drunk among the crowd, then you are destined to have no good results. ”
After a pause, Zhao Junchen's voice was slightly cold, and he said: "If you can't go with the flow, be with the mediocrity in your eyes, or look like you're the only one awake, then learn from Tao Yuanming to hide in the world, why bother to enter the world, looking at the mediocre people in your eyes, but you can't change the thoughts of the mediocre people in your eyes at all?" ”
As Zhao Junchen's words fell, Xiao Wenxuan's face changed, and finally he no longer had the previous mocking and sneering look, and after a while, he was just about to say something to Zhao Junchen, when suddenly, there were several calls from behind him.
"Engong stays, Engong stays."
But it was Li Rui and the others who finally squeezed through the crowd of onlookers, packed up the things in the ring, and chased after Zhao Junchen.
………
However, in a moment, Li Rui, Su Rao and others were already chasing after them.
When they saw Zhao Junchen talking to Xiao Wenxuan, their faces changed.
And that Xiao Wenxuan, I don't know when, sarcasm and meanness resurfaced in his expression, as if he was disdainful of Li Rui and Su Rao and others.
Li Rui glared at Xiao Wenxuan hatefully, then walked quickly to Zhao Junchen, bowed to Zhao Junchen and said, "Thank you for the money that Gong Enchen has funded, so that he can return to his hometown to keep his filial piety, and ask Gong Engong to bow down next." ”
As he spoke, Li Rui knelt down to thank him.
However, as soon as he knelt halfway, he was supported by Zhao Junchen.
"The man has gold under his knees, I just funded you for a few dozen taels of silver, it's not worth your knees, don't be polite."
Hearing Zhao Junchen say this, Li Rui had a better impression of Zhao Junchen, and looked at Zhao Junchen's eyes full of gratitude, and said: "For Engong, it's just a few dozen taels of silver, but for Zaixia, it is a fulfillment of filial piety, and the meaning is different." ”
However, having said that, at Zhao Junchen's insistence, Li Rui still failed to kneel down and thank him after all.
After being helped up by Zhao Junchen, Li Rui asked, "I wonder if Engong can tell me the name of the next high surname?" Can I be from Beijing? The money funded by Engong is not a small amount, and he will definitely try to repay it after returning home. ”
Zhao Junchen shook his head and said: "It's just a few dozen taels of silver, it's not a decimal in your eyes, but I didn't take it to heart, as for who my surname is, you don't have to know, if there is a fate in the future, you will see you again, so why bother?" ”
To be honest, Zhao Junchen actually likes to deal with the so-called "righteous gentlemen" such as Li Rui and Su Rao, because their thoughts and feelings are all on their faces, and dealing with them does not require a lot of effort, it is very easy.
It's just that Zhao Junchen feels that he is not a person with them after all, so he doesn't plan to have a deep friendship.
As it turned out, Zhao Junchen's idea was right.
Seeing that Zhao Junchen not only did not tell his name, but also had a sense of estrangement between his words, Li Rui couldn't help but be stunned.
After saying a few words to Zhao Junchen, seeing that Zhao Junchen really had no intention of intersecting, Li Rui finally said goodbye with interest, only saying that he would find a way to repay Zhao Junchen's kindness in the future.
It's just that before leaving, Li Rui glanced at Xiao Wenxuan, who was standing aside and had not left, and suddenly said: "Engong, although I don't know your origin yet, I think it's extraordinary, so for the sake of your reputation, Xiao Wenxuan, it's better not for you to have more contact with him." He is embarrassed with me today, in fact, there is a reason, in the past, I admired his talent, and he was a close friend, but I never thought that Xiao Wenxuan was willing to fall and took refuge in Zhao Junchen, the most famous corrupt official in the court! I despise his character, and I cut off his robe for this! Looking at his actions before and after, it is already known what his character is, and I hope that Engong will think about it more. ”
