Chapter 124: Fame Floats
After the mountain chief Zhang Anbo set off for the capital on the third day of the lunar month, the new mountain chief Ye Jiaolang Ye Hongyun took office. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 infoAt the beginning of December, the learning atmosphere in the college gradually became stronger.
With the establishment of the Xianheng Trading Company, the disciples of the academy made their own choices. Some choose to work in a business house, while others choose to stay and continue their scientific research. The effects of the floods in mid-July are a thing of the past. The only one who still has traces of disaster relief is about Jia Huan's deputy disaster relief envoy in Wanping County, western Beijing.
Just after Laba Festival, there was another heavy snowfall. In the evening, the new mountain chief Ye Hongyun invited Jia Huan, who was studying hard, to have a drink at the scholar's restaurant at the middle intersection of Dongzhuang Town.
In the private seat on the second floor, the shopkeeper served wine and food. Ye Hongyun drank a cup of himself and sighed leisurely, "Jia Huan, I only know today that it is difficult to do practical things. ”
Jia Huan was a little strange, holding the pot to add wine to Ye Hongyun, and said with a smile: "Sir, this emotion is a little inexplicable!" ”
Ye Hongyun smiled self-deprecatingly, and said in a depressed mood: "Luo Jiaolang left a letter this morning and left the academy. ”
Jia Huan was stunned. He also studied the "Book of Songs" with Luo Jiaolang yesterday, and he didn't see Luo Jiaolang have any intention of leaving.
Ye Hongyun explained: "Luo Jiaolang hopes that the disciples of the academy can discuss political affairs. I strongly disagree. He obeys the chief of the mountain, but he may not obey me. Left me a sentence of 'different ways, do not conspire with each other'. The tone was a little gloomy, a little angry, a little dissatisfied.
Jia Huan understood what Ye Jiaolang meant. He and Luo Jiaolang quarreled over whether to allow the academy disciples to talk about politics. But Luo Jiaolang left without saying a word, which was really an exaggerated reaction. You can talk slowly.
Jia Huan asked, "Sir, is there a place for Luo Jiaolang to leave?" It's already the lunar month..."It's the Spring Festival soon." If Luo Jiaolang has no income, I am afraid that this New Year will not be easy. It is expected that this year, the college will give the lecturers a very generous treatment.
Ye Hongyun said: "He didn't mention it in the letter. As far as I can estimate, I should have gone to Shoushan Academy in Donglin. He had a close relationship with Han Jin, a famous man in the capital. ”
Han Jin is Han Xiucai. Jia Huan was speechless. The mind is clear. Most likely some time ago, when Han Xiucai wrote to him, he also wrote a letter to Luo Jiaolang. Luo Jiaolang is now leaving the academy for many reasons.
Ye Hongyun ate the chopsticks dish and said, "Jia Huan, Xianheng Commercial Bank, you say hello and ask the Commercial Bank to give Luo Jiaolang this year's salary." He is a senior lecturer of the college. He makes character, and I cannot be unrighteous. ”
Jia Huan nodded, "Sir, don't worry." That's the meaning of the question. Can't just because Luo Jiaolang resigned a year ago, he won't be given a "year-end bonus" for nine years of Yongzhi. This is not a gentleman's doing.
Jia Huan saw that Ye Jiaolang's face was depressed, and he didn't have his usual calmness and leisure, so he pondered for a while, and asked, "Sir, if I say something to the heart, is Mr. He not convinced you?" "It is very difficult for Jinshi to obey the management of Xiucai.
Ye Hongyun has always treated Jia Huan like his own disciple, and he simply didn't hide it, and sighed: "This is human nature!" ”
Jia Huan suggested, "Sir, why don't you try an eclectic approach to running a school?" ”
Ye Hongyun pondered Jia Huan's words in his heart, and asked curiously: "What do you mean by being eclectic?" ”
Jia Huandao: "Follow the principle of freedom of thought and take the meaning of inclusiveness. ”
This is the school-running policy proposed by Cai Yuanpei, a famous educator during the Republic of China, at Peking University. It is the first of its kind in China's higher education system. Mr. Cai Yuanpei has been praised as the greatest educator in China after Confucius.
Obviously, Mr. Ye does not have the prestige of the mountain chief, and he can't suppress the lecturers of the academy. Of course, this has something to do with his position being just a tribute, if you put aside an old Jinshi, or Sanding Jia is here. That's not the problem.
Then, simply don't press. If you talk about an idea, then let the students vote on their feet, and the students will choose whose class they take. In this way, it involves the reform of the college's class hours, examination system, graduation system, and so on.
Jia Huan and Mr. Ye chatted late, from the restaurant to the dormitory of the college. Discuss a lot. After all, the modern education system cannot be directly copied to Wendao Academy. An era has the characteristics of an era. But Jia Huan undoubtedly hopes that Wendao Academy can become Peking University during the period presided over by Cai Yuanpei. A true university that cultivates all kinds of talents. Rather than just teaching children.
In the middle of the night, the snow was falling and the outside world was white. Jia Huan and Ye Hongyun talked at night in his dormitory.
After taking a sip of tea, Jia Huan was slightly sleepy, and asked with a smile: "What does Mr. think of my thoughts?" ”
Ye Hongyun no longer had a depressed look on his face at this time, and said with a comfortable smile: "Your reform is too radical. I'm afraid the mountain chief will have an opinion. Don't rush it. I'll try one or two first. ”
Seeing that Ye Jiaolang's problem was solved, Jia Huan smiled and yawned, said goodbye and left, and went back to sleep. Ye Hongyun worked hard to write under the lamp. Time passes imperceptibly. By the time he stopped writing, it was already dawn.
On the morning of the next day, Ye Hongyun, the new mountain chief, convened all the talents of Wendao Academy and the only Jinshi He Jingye to discuss some issues related to the restructuring of the academy. Immediately, news came out of the academy.
But none of this has much to do with Jia Huan. He now says it's a child. But in fact, the coursework is studied and practiced according to the intensity of the examiner.
Jia Huan studied hard in the inner hall of the academy. Time is ticking.
…
Since the end of the floods in western Beijing in August, Shatixue has made a name for Jia Huan in the capital: a heroic young man, a young phoenix with a clear voice. Subsequently, there was a famous minister of the imperial court, and the nine-year-old Jia Huan, the right capital of the Imperial Palace, took the important task: the deputy envoy of Wanping County for disaster relief. And praised: The day when the world will be famous is not far away.
Jia Huan's reputation spread rapidly to the thirteen political envoys of the Great Zhou Dynasty in the north and south. There are three in total: first, a young prodigy, shrewd and capable; second, the poetry is gifted, and there are several famous poems; Third, the beauty lyrics are very well written, and they are very famous in Shilin and Qinglou. Famous prostitutes want to ask for poetry but can't. It's actually gossip.
On the twelfth night of the lunar month, the Great Zhou Nanzhili should be in the Jinling City of Tianfu, the leader of the Great Zhou Literary Alliance, the Nanjing Ministry of Rites Shangshu Fang Fengjiu held a literary meeting in the Mochou Lake Shengqi Building, and the Nanzhili celebrities gathered, and the beauties were like clouds. More than 20 people participated in the cultural meeting, and the scene was grand. Shilin attention.
During the banquet, he talked about the affairs of the imperial court, the floods in western Beijing, and several famous poems that have been circulated in Jinling City in recent days. There are several celebrities who are criticizing, and the young prodigy has always been disliked by the Great Zhou Shilin. Shilin did not have a culture of praising prodigies. A few famous prostitutes smiled and said that they were willing to recommend their own pillows. They laughed and talked, and the poems and wine were merry.
Fang Fengjiu, who was on the main seat of the banquet in the restaurant, was an old man in his fifties, with a thin appearance, simple clothes, drinking with a wine glass, and commented: "Everyone, the old man thinks that Uncle Sha is governing and rotten Confucianism. Since you are talented, why don't you point to Zhu Yi? ”
Someone said: "Mr. Wangxi, this dynasty is not without the atmosphere of praising prodigies, if you enter school at the age of nine, it will be too shocking." However, this son is also self-aware, and he has not been out of the field under the pretext of illness. ”
Fang Fengjiu said disapprerovingly: "Why don't you choose materials for the country?" There is no culture of praising prodigies in this dynasty, so why not start with you and me? Taizu's law, how many of them are still being implemented by the imperial court today? If the old man is a great master, he must be named the head of the case! ”
As soon as this sentence came out, it stirred up a lot of turmoil in Shilin. Mixed reviews. This is the treatment of the leader of the literary world. Both supporters and opponents admit that Fang Fengjiu's words are very bold.
As the famous minister Wang Anshi said: The way of heaven is not enough to fear, and the ancestors are not enough to law. Da Zhou, it's indeed time to change some rules. People of insight in Shilin have some consensus on this.
…
Jia Huan was unaware of his own fame spreading throughout the cultural circles of the Great Zhou. He's just a kid now. I studied at the academy at the foot of Mt. Miaomine. The message is not smooth. Of course, knowing it, it's mostly a wry smile. For Jia Huan, fame is more of a burden than a benefit. This makes him always have a somewhat detached attitude when facing fame.
On the 18th day of the lunar month, Mr. Longjiang invited Jia Huan to attend a cocktail party held in his Yixing Villa at the foot of Xiangshan. At that time, the capital's celebrities, famous prostitutes, and rich and noble sons gathered. Jia Huan pushed the party.
On the twenty-first day of the ninth month of Yongzhi, Qin Tianjian selected an auspicious day, the official office was sealed, and all living beings dispersed. After school.
Jia Huan set off from Wendao Academy on the 25th to Yixing Villa at the foot of Xiangshan Mountain to visit Mr. Longjiang and make amends to him. In addition, he was going to go back to Jiafu. Pretend to be filial sons and grandsons, kowtow three heads and flash people. He still won't return to Jiafu during the Spring Festival this year. By the way, he wants to pick up Qingwen and Ruyi.
Jia Huan took the car to the east for ten miles, passing through Longquan Town and Woniu Town to the foot of Xiangshan. In the cold winter, the fields are barren, and there are many farmers basking in the sun in the villages on both sides of the road. Yixing Villa is still rich and luxurious.
When Jia Huan arrived, it was around 10 a.m., and Mr. Long Jiang was lying down. The housekeeper Xu Si entertained Jia Huan to drink tea in a bright hall. Xu Si smiled and said, "Deputy Envoy Jia did not come on the evening of the 18th. My uncle is looking forward to appreciating Deputy Envoy Jia's masterpieces. ”
Jia Huan really wanted to pretend to be forced, "reputation is like me in the clouds", but considering his current age, it seems too old-fashioned to say so. A few words of modesty. and Xu Si turned to talk about economic affairs. In this regard, the two of them have a common language.
After chatting until noon, Mr. Longjiang was still drunk and asleep. Jia Huan had lunch and said, "Steward Xu, I'll go to Qixia Temple in Xiangshan for a while." Will definitely return in the evening. ”
Xu Si thought about it, but he wouldn't force Jia Huan to stay, "It's okay." I'll go back and tell my uncle. After saying a few kind words, Xu Si sent a carriage to send Jia Huan up the mountain to the royal Taoist temple: Qixia Temple.
Qixia Temple is located in a col in Xiangshan. Since it is a royal Taoist temple, it has strong financial resources. There is a road only to pass. The carriage can go straight to the front of the Qixia Temple.
In winter, the mountains and forests become more and more quiet. Inside and outside the Taoist temple, the scenery is extremely beautiful. The fairies in the courtyard repair incense, and idlers are not allowed to enter to see the flowers.
However, Jia Huan sat in the carriage of Mr. Longjiang's house. Straight inside. spent some incense money and entrusted a female crown to notify it. After waiting for the tea, someone led Jia Huan to a small hall for guests.
Not long after, a graceful and charming beauty wearing a light white plain dress turned out from the screen behind the hall, with an indescribable surprise on her pretty face, "Uncle Huan!" (To be continued.) )
