"Playing Song"/Chunxi Di Xiao
Chapter 98
On the second day, Wang Yun was driven back to the Imperial College to study. Wang Anshi and Sima Guang also got busy, and they only had time to find relatives and friends until the holidays. The brothers Zeng Gong and Zeng Bu also took the exam in the spring of next year. They have now arrived in the capital and are temporarily staying in Daxiangguo Temple to prepare for the spring examination.
When Zeng Gong heard that Wang Anshi had returned to Beijing, he brought his three younger brothers and two brother-in-law to visit. Zeng Gong's sister married Wang Anshi's younger brother Wang Anguo a few years ago. The two families had a marriage relationship, so there was not so much courtesy when they had sex.
After dinner, Zeng Gong stayed alone and sat on the kang with Wang Anshi and talked about the exam: "I didn't expect that I would have a spring exam with Yuan Ze."
Wang Anshi said: "You have been delayed by the filial piety period. Wouldn't you pass the exam this year?"
Wang Anshi admired Zeng Gong's character and talent very much. Zeng Gong's parents passed away one after another, and his elder brother was weak and sick. He also went there a few years ago. He worked hard to raise his four younger brothers and nine younger sisters to grow up. After his father died of illness, he also worked hard to support his stepmother at home. He also taught the four younger brothers to become successful and handle the marriage of his younger brother and sister.
In the autumn examination of the current academic year, the four brothers Zeng Gong are all on the list, and their two brothers-in-laws are not missing!
Zeng Gong sighed, not as optimistic as Wang Anshi: "It's not that easy." He is already thirty-six years old, and he is about to be in his forties. It is definitely fake to say that he is not in a hurry. Since ancient times, he has said that "he has learned civil and martial arts, goods and imperial families." But he wants to sell it to the imperial family. What should he do if he doesn't buy you like this?
Wang Anshi said: "In the past two years, Ouyang Gong has been in the imperial front, and proposed 'retro' in "National Style", abandoning parallel prose, strange prose, pursuing dilution of Zhongzheng, and advocating literary to carry the Tao. I think there will be major changes this year's spring examination."
Ouyang Xiu also personally compiled the "Collected Works of Han Yu", and combined with Mei Yaochen's "Collected Works of Liu Zongyuan" was printed in the Imperial College Press and was sold in major bookstores, vigorously promoting the poems and essays of Han and Liu. With Ouyang Xiu's pioneering and the "National Style" as the guide, the literary style of scholars in the capital has been completely renewed recently, and it is fresh and pleasant everywhere!
When Zeng Gong heard this, his tense strings relaxed slightly. Ouyang Xiu once recommended him to the Imperial Academy and took good care of him. If Ouyang Xiuzhen could affect the imperial examination this year, he would not have to worry about the spring examination.
On the other hand, Wang Rong was still studying in the Imperial College.
After taking a meal and taking a shower in the evening, Chen Shiru returned to the dormitory of Liuren. He was watching the lecture notes sent by Mei Yaochen today. He felt that the context was clear and he sorted out what he had learned along the lecture notes. His understanding of the meaning of the scriptures suddenly became profound and clear.
When Chen Shiru heard that Wang Rong was back, he put together a lecture notes and said to Wang Rong who was looking at him happily every day recently: "Listen to Mei, is this lecture notes you who helped to organize?"
Everyone in the Imperial College has a copy of this lecture, and Wang Rong also has it. After hearing Chen Shiru's question, he didn't hide it and nodded, "I'm sorting it out, right."
Wang Rong was able to solve some projects that others could not solve in his previous life. It is very important that he could easily understand and break down difficult problems into simple modules. Others need ten or eight high-end talents to execute, and after his hands, he only needs some people with ordinary qualifications to deal with them.
Many people are very good at solving difficult problems, but the solutions they come up with are very difficult to understand by others, and they consume a lot of manpower, material resources and time.
Wang Rong is good at making difficult contents simple.
This is the same textbook for the "Nine Classics". Wang Yun put up the knowledge framework for them, and then gave them some popular memorization methods, understanding methods, and combined with the corresponding variation training. People with basic skills can basically understand them by passing them over again, and they are no longer afraid of any questions about the classics!
Anyway, his father has not cheated him on writing articles for more than half a year, and Mei Yaochen and the others have not troubled him anymore. Wang Rong is also idle, so he simply reviews and organizes it, and gets out his own review experience before the New Year.
He handed the original manuscript to Mei Yaochen for review, and printed it out for his classmates if he had no problem.
Mei Yaochen was very efficient. After reading it overnight, he made a decision on the spot. In a few days, everyone in the Imperial College had a copy, and today's class was even more amazing. Even when the direct lecturers were taught, the students asked to take out the lecture notes and turn to the page.
Wang Rong and other prospective graduates have relatively free time and are not aware of this without attending classes with Chen Shiru and others.
Chen Shiru said with some regret: "Why are you taking it out now? You have to wait until you finish the exam before taking it out? You teach others everything you know before the spring exam. Are you stupid?"
Wang Rong knew that although Chen Shiru came from a family of prime ministers, many of his thoughts were deeply influenced by his biological mother. Seeing him with a look of pain, he didn't think anything was wrong.
Wang Rong smiled and said, "It's just that it's useful to print it before the spring exam. What's the use of the exam after the exam? There are all classmates in the Imperial College, so isn't it good to pass a few more? If I pass the exam, I will be able to be the same year in the future. What can I take care of each other?"
Chen Shiru couldn't speak for a moment when he looked at Wang Rong's smiling eyes.
Wang Rong didn't say anything more, lit the light, took the book and sat on the bed and started reading it.
On the holiday, Chen Shiru returned home and found that there was another big quarrel at home. His mother packed up her things and said she wanted to stay in the temple for some time, while her biological mother sat aside with a proud look on her face.
At this time, a sad autumn rain drizzled outside. Chen Shiru stopped his mother: "It's raining. If my mother really wants to go, she will wait for tomorrow."
The biological mother's expression changed and she stared at Chen Shiru desperately, as if she had known this son for the first time.
Seeing that Chen Shiru had persuaded his wife, Chen Zhizhong called Chen Shiru to the study and spoke.
The father and son had been talking for half a day, and it cleared up in the evening. Chen Zhizhong quietly ordered several trusted servants to send Chen Shiru's biological mother Zhang to the nunnery, asking people to watch it happily, so that she would not disturb the purity of Buddhism.
The only son has made progress and wants to go out to do things, Chen Zhizhong naturally supports him. Zhang can make a fortune in the capital. If she lets her make trouble like this, she doesn’t know what she will do in the future - she might break her son’s career!
...
As the end of the year approaches, Wang Rong can finally have a long holiday. During this period, he actively ran to Sima Guang's house as soon as the holiday came. He rushed to do all the work of pinching shoulders, pounding back, grinding ink and laying paper, and served Sima Guang carefully! Of course, the purpose was to let Sima Guang let him go to see A Yan's sister!
As usual, the king of heaven coaxed his father and walked to the next door to find someone.
As a result, as soon as I got there, I saw a plain face sitting there, with a look similar to Sima Guang, but I was older and had a more square face.
This man also brought a little boy who was only six or seven years old, who was pestering Sima Yan to play with toys - the toys he gave to Sima Yan before!
Wang Rong felt a little sour. He and A Yan's sister were together for a long time. When they met, they talked about important matters, but they didn't have the shamelessness to play with those childish toys together!
Who is this kid? Could it be Sima Yan's cousin?
What kind of cousin, cousin, are all unscientific. Look, Sima Guang is a bit similar to the middle-aged man. He is afraid that blood relationship is quite close, so it is not good to get married in close relatives!
Wang Yun felt so sad that he was bubbling. Seeing Sima Guang and the innocent face looking at him together, he quickly stepped forward and treated him in a fake manner and asked Sima Guang: "Who is this gentleman?"
Sima Guangheng glanced at him and introduced his face to Wang Rong. It turned out that this was Sima Guang's brother Sima Dan, and his nephew Sima Kang.
When Wang Rong heard that it was his uncle and cousin, he became much more calm. No matter how fierce the evil of cousin was, his cousin was still safe! He immediately asked Sima Dan, and then went to accompany Sima Yan to tease Sima Kang.
Bullying children - Oh no, Wang Rong is the best at playing with children.
Wang Rong accompanied Sima Kang to play all military checkers and checkers, and then took Sima Kang outside to play "a game that men must play" such as "a man must play" such as "a game" that men must play with a slingshot to play with snow, which easily captured the heart of his cousin and directly made Sima Kang his little follower.
Sima Yan watched them make noise under the eaves, and felt that he had returned to the moment when he had just met again. Wang Rong easily became the king of children and took them all around the Imperial College.
When Wang Yun's little slingshot was about to end the tree in the yard, Sima Guang finally realized that something was wrong and came out to find someone.
Seeing that Wang Yun handed the slingshot to Sima Kang solemnly, he encouraged Sima Kang to say with a straight face, "If you are a man, you have to try it." Sima Guang couldn't bear it and shouted angrily: "Bastard, get back to your house to read a book!"
