Chapter 204: Flashman
This is a bit alarmist, but it does make sense, now the literacy rate is getting higher and higher, as long as it is allowed, even if you are frugal and live a hard life, you have to help a scholar out, not all of you are from rich backgrounds, and there are many children from poor families, all of whom have come step by step.
Why Read? Because you can participate in the imperial examination, you can become an official after the imperial examination, and you can get ahead. Being an official is the greatest benefit, no one is a fool, there is only a possibility, everyone wants to.
And it is true that as time goes by, everything is different, before it was wooden tablets, then silk cloth, then paper, the cost is getting smaller and smaller, and no one knows what it will be like in the future, but it cannot be denied that this possibility is very high.
However, understanding is understanding, but I can't accept it in my heart, we are scholars and talents, the cornerstone of the country, and the future of the Ming Dynasty. How can a scholar rule for thousands of years without a sense of superiority?
"Elegance can be had, but it is not interesting to pursue the identity of the special pursuit, the so-called vulgar is elegant, the "Book of Songs" is so popular, but it has been passed down for thousands of years, highly sought after, my fair lady and gentleman are good, who doesn't know who doesn't know? Do you dare to say that this is not Ya? ”
"Ya, everywhere, a leaf light boat, a wisp of remnant glow, a glass of turbid wine, friends talk freely, floating on the river, how is it not Ya. Drizzle, streets and alleys, strolling with an oil umbrella, experiencing the poetry in the rain, is not an elegant environment. ”
"Ya, it's not a special pursuit, but it needs to be experienced, and you must have a heart called Ya, otherwise, it's just far-fetched, pretending to be elegant, this son, disdainful of it."
After speaking, Zhou Shaoyu put away those poems, pulled his legs and left, pulled Kou Baimen shut by the way, and was ready to talk to her again.
From beginning to end, Zhou Shaoyu didn't intend to convince anyone, the background of the times is different, many things are impossible for people to accept, the feudal society is hierarchical, and everyone takes it for granted.
As for the Yazi in the back, it seems that there are a thousand Harlemuts for a thousand people, everyone has their own opinions, and they can't force it, if they don't leave quickly while everyone is thinking about it at this moment, I'm afraid that they won't be able to leave for a while, and one person refutes a sentence, which can make Zhou Shaoyu too busy.
In the final analysis, there is no doubt about the talent and learning of these people, Zhou Shaoyu is just relying on his thinking and insight to be more broad, and really compare with others to cite the evidence dictionary? Looking for death, isn't it?
The door of the wing room is on the outside of the boat, the stairs are in front, and after a few steps, the door of the other wing room opened, and I saw that Xu Gongzi walked out.
"Hahaha, this son is really stylish, this son has long been unaccustomed to those hypocritical scholars who have a set of appearances and a set of backs, so it is quite to taste, let's go for a walk, let's talk about it in another place." Xu Gongzi is very arrogant, it should be said that he is worthy of being a meritorious family, after the general.
"Eh, it's better to be respectful than to obey your fate, in the next Zhou Shaoyu, I don't know if the son is ......" Zhou Shaoyu thought about it and agreed, and it didn't hurt to make friends with the Xu family, what if such a scholar wants to play yin? Right.
"Eh, why are you doing this kind of crepe, how boring, Xu Hongji is my grandfather, Xu Wenjue is my father, Xu Panwen (fictional) is me, it looks like I'm older than you, just call me Brother Xu." Xu Panwen pulled Zhou Shaoyu out, went downstairs, and prepared to leave by painting boat.
Zhou Shaoyu sweated profusely and said embarrassedly: "Brother Xu's introduction is really unique. ”
Xu Hongji is a descendant of the Xu family, attacking Wei Guogong, he is not young, in addition to the identity of Wei Guogong, he is also in the Inspectorate Caojiang and is in charge of river defense.
Later, Xu Wenjue inherited the title and assisted in the formation of the Southern Ming Dynasty, then descended to the Manchu Qing Dynasty, and then demoted to the common people. So, there's nothing wrong with this Xu Panwen.
But at the moment, it is still the Ming Dynasty, and the Xu family is still the behemoth.
"Hahaha, the name of the ancestor is good, what's the harm in using it, of course, when my brother takes the title, that's another matter." Xu Panwen waved his hand and took the lead in getting on the painting boat, and Zhou Shaoyu had no choice but to pull Kou Baimen to follow.
Kou Baimen didn't know whether to go or stay, seeing that Zhou Shaoyu's attitude was quite tough, and Xu Panwen couldn't afford to offend, so he didn't dare to speak, so he had to follow behind.
All the way to leave in a carriage, followed into a luxury restaurant, and then listened to Xu Panwen's various bragging, thinking about how it was at the beginning, Zhou Shaoyu also followed the blowing, I have been to wherever I have been, what I have seen, Xu Panwen was stunned for a moment.
After drinking for a while, both of them were a little fluttery, Xianglan was waiting behind Xu Panwen, on the other hand, Zhou Shaoyu was accompanied by a beauty, but he sat on the side in a daze, so helpless.
I thought that Xu Panwen was the kind of typical gentleman, and Zhou Shaoyu didn't think much about it, but the style of painting changed suddenly, and I saw Xu Panwen's face was straight, and he said seriously.
"Brother Zhou, it's not for my brother to be alarmist, your performance this time is wonderful, I appreciate it very much for my brother, and Brother Zhou's talent is beyond doubt, but after all, I have offended too many people, and the way of the imperial examination in the future, I'm afraid it's not easy to go, with the connections behind that group of people, if you really want to block your future, you can't do your best for your brother."
"It's okay, the ambition is not here, what if you don't be an official, it's not a wonderful life." Zhou Shaoyu was puzzled in his heart, but he smiled lightly, and he was telling the truth, even if he could be an official in Daming.
Cao Cao of the Eastern Han Dynasty was an official, Liu Bangna was an official, Xiang Yu was also an official, it doesn't mean anything, the official seal is still kept, well, this thing is quite commemorative.
"Eh, no, no, no, the big husband stands up to the sky, how can he not make a career, the imperial examination is not good, it does not mean that there is no other way out." Xu Panwen denied.
"Then, what does Brother Xu mean?" Zhou Shaoyu gave up his hand, this guy won't be a wooer, right? It's not impossible, in the eyes of others, being able to throw out so many poems is enough to prove that Zhou Shaoyu's talent is learned, after all, others don't know that he plagiarized.
Xu Panwen's eyes narrowed, and he said with a smile: "For example, the Son of Heaven is pro-army!" ”
Zhou Shaoyu was stunned, the corners of his mouth twitched, and said, "Jinyiwei? ”
"It's extreme, although the momentum is not as good as before, but it is still not to be underestimated...... and then Xu Panwen began to give examples, how long and how long to bring down whom, and then for example, during the Wanli period, Jinyiwei probed how many Japanese ** feelings, and helped Daming to repel the Japanese ** team that invaded North Korea.
"In short, for my brother, I think that it is difficult for Brother Zhou to do anything in the imperial examination, so why don't you try to go on another path, we two brothers, keep your food and spicy food." Xu Panwen patted his chest and promised.
Believing you are a fool! Zhou Shaoyu said secretly. Eighty percent is to develop a force that obeys his own orders, although sooner or later he will become the Duke of Wei, but he is not in a hurry, if he has his own power, then he does not need to use the relationship of the family easily, and he is not afraid of being scolded by the family if he causes anything, and he can't say that he can make some money, how good.
Xu Panwen is simply saying that I want to recruit you to listen to me, but you can't come.
"I already know the meaning of Brother Xu's solicitation, but, why did you choose me? Don't rush to answer, just tell the truth. "Zhou Shaoyu is not panicking, anyway, he won't stay long, even if he is offended, as long as he can stabilize for a while, it is enough for him to hook up with his sister, and he has the ability to come to Daliang to mess with me."
"Hehe, Brother Zhou's literary talent is already known to his brother, you are scholars, you have a lot of flowers and intestines, your head is really smart, and Jinyiwei is full of martial arts, how can you compare." Xu Panwen smiled, he didn't care about telling the truth at all, his identity is here, the descendants of the Duke of Wei, a proper raider, what can you do with me? Just give a letter, just say whether you are happy to do things for us.
"Haha, that's right." Zhou Shaoyu was happy and said with a smile. "That being the case, it depends on Brother Xu's sincerity, after all, the more weight you have, the more you can help Brother Xu."
Well, that's agreed, but it depends on what official position you can get us, Captain Jinyiwei? Then quickly pull it down, we're not interested in the little soldiers.
