Chapter Seventy-Nine: Being Robbed
Zhang Yang fully accepted Kong Yingda's admiration for this old man as the price for testing him. If he hadn't been rich in knowledge and had a lot of inventory in his mind, he would have been escaped by this old man. At that time, he would not know anything.
, that would be a happy thing.
"I wonder why you called me here. Is it just that you suspect that this poem was not written by me? Are you sure now?"
Zhang Yang felt a little angry and angry. You just said that, brother, and you just listened to it. Even after appreciating the masterpieces and cultivating your sentiments, you still know the difference between yourself and other immortals. Look for your own reasons. I want to
How do you think you should enter? Why do you have to ask me to confirm it? Do you really want to accept a blow? Look, it's okay now. Isn't it a shock that I can write such a masterpiece at such a young age?
?It’s so rare to be confused. Why do you think you are so serious?
Zhang Yang kept complaining in his heart, isn't this old man looking for trouble on his own? Look now, why bother?
"It's true that it's me. I can only say sorry to you!"
Kong Yingda said as he cupped his hands and bent down slightly.
What he did in this matter was indeed a bit unbecoming of a gentleman. He rarely did this to doubt others in public. The main reason was that the poem Zhang Yang wrote was so good and shocking that he couldn't believe for a moment that it was written by the young man in front of him, so
Only then will he take the exam.
However, the result of the matter did prove that he was wrong. Such behavior seemed very inappropriate. Therefore, he put down his posture and apologized to Zhang Yang. He was a person who conscientiously and carefully followed the principles of Confucius and Mencius. In his opinion,
If you can correct your mistakes, there is no greater good!
Zhang Yang was really surprised and hurriedly avoided it. After all, he respected the old and loved the young very much. Zhang Yang still couldn't accept it when such an old man bowed to him. How could this be an apology? This was clearly an apology.
This young master has shortened my life. I haven’t had much fun yet and I am still an innocent little virgin. I really don’t want to die young.
However, Zhang Yang sincerely admires Kong Yingda's behavior. Even in the era when everyone is called equal, how many people can honestly admit their mistakes to their subordinates and lower-level officials, and bravely stand up and apologize?
What's more, in the ancient Tang Dynasty, a society with a strict hierarchy, it took so much courage and frankness for Kong Yingda to be able to lower his stature and apologize to a young man like himself, a commoner at the grassroots level! This is not arrogance!
This is not to belittle oneself, but the entire social structure is indeed like this.
Kong Yingda saw Zhang Yang's behavior and nodded secretly. Although he took the initiative to apologize, if Zhang Yang endured it like this, it would inevitably give people an arrogant attitude. Now it seems that this young man is still very good.
However, for an old man who has lived for most of his life, experienced the accumulation of time, and seen all the prosperity of the world and all kinds of life, although Zhang Yang gave him a very good first impression, he still did not rush to draw conclusions -
- It is difficult to paint the bones of a tiger, because you know the person but not the heart! We need to know more about what this young man Zhang Yang is like.
Kong Yingda invited Zhang Yang to take a seat, and Zhang Yang readily agreed. After all, it was very interesting for him to communicate with the great scholars of the time. Besides, he still respected Old Man Kong very much. Look, how many
This cute old man has a goatee that sticks out, and he wants to pull it off to have a look.
The two discussed the geography and folk customs of the Classics and History Collection. The content was so wide and wide that Zhang Yang could hardly cope with it. He was indeed a great Confucian. This amount of knowledge was quite large. In comparison, the so-called masters of later generations were called
The beast was so weak! So Zhang Yang stared at the stars and worshiped Old Man Kong.
Although Zhang Yang expressed admiration for Kong Yingda, Kong Yingda on the other side was shocked. During the conversation, he kept expanding the scope, but no matter what aspect it involved, this kid could keep up with his rhythm, although some places were still
It is a little weak, like a piece of poetry and book, but it contains surprising words. It may seem absurd and unreasonable at first, but after careful consideration, it turns out that it makes a lot of sense. Kong Yingda felt as if he had discovered a treasure, and his eyes were firmly locked on each other.
Publicity.
Zhang Yang finally retreated under the offensive of Kong Yingda's eyes. He felt as if he had been stripped naked, put on the chopping board and being sold on the basis of his weight. The butcher who was cruel and bloody and killed without adding blood was the one in front of him.
He looks like a very kind and harmless old man.
"Haha, not bad, I have never seen a young man like Brother Xiang in all these years!"
Kong Yingda stared at Zhang Yang with more and more satisfaction. He seemed to be looking at his nephew. Zhang Yang felt a little ridiculous. He must have seen it wrong. He must have been purely shocked by the young master's amazing talent. He bowed to the young master with all his body.
Suit pants, no, under the robe.
"I wonder where my brother is from?"
"Zhang Yang, my son, lives in Jian'anfang, Chang'an."
"How old are you?"
"The boy is sixteen years old this year."
"Well, are you sixteen? What's the situation at home?"
"..."
"Is there a marriage?"
"..."
Zhang Yang is completely stunned now. Are you checking your household registration?
"Ahem," Kong Yingda, perhaps feeling Zhang Yang's silence, finally stopped playing the role of the police uncle and stared at Zhang Yang even more eagerly.
"To be honest, little brother, I have a granddaughter!"
Kong Yingda spoke with some difficulty. When he talked about his only granddaughter, Kong Yingda was full of sighs. The child was still spoiled by him. She was already a nineteen-year-old girl. Her marriage was still not settled. She was about to grow old.
Auntie, Kong Yingda is full of anxiety, but there is no way. He is sitting firmly on the Diaoyutai. The emperor is really not in a hurry, but the eunuch is. Of course, Kong Yingda has no intention of rebellion, and his granddaughter is not expected to be the emperor. As for himself, his grandson
All of them are there, obviously they have nothing to do with creatures like eunuchs.
The granddaughter of his family, whom Old Man Kong loved and hated, was none other than Kong Qingyun, who had sneaked out of their home a long time ago.
As the only granddaughter of Kong Yingda, and with the support of an ancestor like Confucius, Kong Qingyun is still very popular. Since she came of age, how many people have come to propose marriage, including princes and nobles, but this girl has her own opinion, too much!
These people are not their ideal husbands!
Kong Yingda once had a headache as to what her ideal husband was. The little girl tilted her head and stretched out a hand. First, she had to have external beauty and pressed down a finger. For this, Old Man Kong expressed his understanding, and the court
Appearance should also be considered when selecting officials. Even if it is for the sake of the next generation that they will not be unable to become officials because of their appearance, I agree with it. After all, Old Man Kong is still a bit obsessed with appearance. This is understandable. Scholars like to read it.
A humble gentleman has a noble face. If a grandson-in-law like Cheng Yaojin comes to him, I am afraid that Old Man Kong will be the first to object.
Secondly, one must have literary talent, at least above the clear rhyme, Kong Qingyun has broken a finger. Old Man Kong still agrees with the requirement of literary talent. As a scholarly family, it is difficult to have a favorable impression of an illiterate or a rude warrior.
Yes. But, the literary talent is still better than yours? Old man Kong feels like he shot himself in the foot. Sure enough, a woman's lack of talent is a virtue. This girl has grown up beside him since she was a child, and she has a smart mind.
, I couldn't help but teach him personally. It seemed that it was difficult to find this grandson-in-law. Old Man Kong sighed to the sky.
Finally, Kong Qingyun broke off her fingers and saw that Old Kong had a toothache. He must not be too old. Even if he had outstanding looks and literary talent, Qingyun would not consider him if he was older.
These three courtship criteria left Kong Yingda speechless. He needed good looks, literary talent, and youth. He could find a bunch of people who met any of these three requirements, but if they were put together, it would be difficult. Those who have good looks but no literary talent.
Literary talents are not young, so Kong Yingda fell into a messy state in the wind.
This time I came here just to see if there was any handsome young man. He was determined to marry his granddaughter. This time, he really found him.
Zhang Yang was a little dumbfounded. What does having a granddaughter have to do with him? Suddenly, an idea flashed in Zhang Yang's mind. Thinking of the questions Old Man Kong asked him, there was always a sense of familiarity. Combined with this weird atmosphere, Zhang Yang suddenly realized that this old man wouldn't
