After hearing the old man's question, the man replied seriously: "Although Mr. Shen left his child to eat at his house, he did not eat crabs. We have a friendship in the same year and have been with each other for more than ten years, but it was just an ordinary banquet. When the child saw Brother Shen Nian, he was very particular about every drink and every food, and he was not like a person with a bright heart."

As he said that, the man paused and said, "If it weren't for this, how could the Minister of Quan tolerate him? He is the one who is the one who is right and left. Nowadays, most of the courts are bowing their heads, which really makes us feel heartbroken."

The old man in his seventies dipped his crabs in ginger and vinegar and pointed, "So you didn't go to Zhang's mansion twice?"

The man was silent for a while and said, "Dad, it's the child who didn't listen to you."

The old man in his seventies said, "It would be fine if he didn't go to the Zhang Mansion. Zhang Jiangling welcomed his mother to Beijing. The officials along the way prepared generous gifts to welcome him. As the prefect of Taiping Mansion, you told his subordinates, "How could I plunder the people's wealth and flirt with the powerful people, and thus wipe out the face of the Chief Auxiliary. Do you think that this is what your brother means, or what you mean?"

Although the old man in his seventies said calmly, he was already harsh.

The old man in his seventies sighed: "You passed the Jinshi at the age of 22, and your career is so smooth. This time you resigned from your post at home. Please reflect on me and study at home. You are not allowed to leave the house and polish your mind."

"Yes, dad, the child is tired, so I will take his leave first." The man stood up and left.

The old man in his seventies shook his head.

Soon, Lin Shibi and Lin Shisheng walked to the pavilion on the cobblestone road.

"Greetings to Grandpa!"

"Meet uncle!"

The old man was of course Lin Tingji, the Minister of Rites of Nanjing who had retired. He was called the old minister of the minister in Lianjiang.

Lin Tingji smiled and said, "It's you. This crab is cold in nature. Eating it while it's hot is not only delicious, but also not easy to have diarrhea."

Lin Tingji waved his hand to the maid. At that moment, the maid immediately took away the cold crabs on the table, took the hot crabs from the kitchen and put them on the table.

After taking the seat, Lin Shisheng asked, "Grandpa, where has the second uncle been?"

Lin Tingji said, "Don't talk about him, why did Shibi come late? Are you afraid that you will urge you to study if you see me and your second uncle?"

Lin Shibi poured a glass of wine and said, "Where is the uncle? You have to mention it once when you see me. I hear calluses in my ears, and I have been used to it for a long time."

As soon as these words were spoken, Lin Tingji and Lin Shisheng laughed. Lin Shibi has always been unruly and is not Lin Tingji's relatives and grandson, so no one is surprised to speak like this.

Lin Shisheng smiled and said, "Grandpa, the elder brother is fighting with a little boy. The two of them took a paragraph of the Four Books to see who can solve the problem quickly, but the elder brother lost two consecutive games."

Lin Tingji heard this and said strangely: "It's not unusual for your elder brother to compete with others, but it's the first time I've heard that the little boy is very knowledgeable about Jingyi?"

"I don't know whether the classics are studied in depth or not, but I just solve the problem very quickly and do not think about it."

Lin Shibi said with a dark face: "What's the matter? It's just this little kid who takes advantage of it."

Lin Tingji said: "Those who value classics are of quality, and those who value poetry are of literature. You like poetry and essays. As an elder, you don't say you are wrong. But if you value poetry and essays and essays but ignore the meaning of classics, you value literature and essays. This is your fault."

If Lin Tingji preached like this on weekdays, Lin Shibi could be immune automatically. He was extremely talented since childhood and had a high opinion of himself. However, today he lost to a teenager who was a teenager younger than him for two sets, and was hit hard now.

Now that Lin Tingji said this, he was suddenly touched, and he immediately lowered his head and said, "What uncle said is that his nephew has been taught."

Lin Tingji smiled kindly again and said, "This young man is better than the Death Bi. I think there are some opportunities, but even some talent is nothing. There are more talented young men these days than the crabs in the river."

Lin Shisheng laughed, but Lin Shibi did not listen to Lin Tingji's words, but instead lowered his head to ponder.

Lin Tingji talked with Lin Shisheng while breaking crabs. After eating a few fat crabs, Lin Tingji said to Lin Shisheng: "Today, Mr. Wangzhai, I will write to me and ask me to plead with Futai and save his grandson."

Lin Shisheng nodded and said, "I almost forgot Mr. Wangzhai, it was grandpa when you were in the provincial examination."

"Our two families are family friends. His son has a good relationship with your father, and his grandson is also your friend. His grandson is imprisoned. I heard that you have not walked around too much. Now Mr. Wangzhai is asking me, and you know that you have lived to be my age. There are not many old friends. How could I ignore him if he wants to save his grandson? But now it is not that I am reluctant to sell this old face. It's just that this matter has been a prison student. The influence of the scholars is very wide. If I interfere in this matter, if I am not careful, I may be the old woman remarrying and losing her moral integrity in her old age." Lin Ting said.

Lin Shibi and Lin Shisheng also knew that the more people were offside, the more they were worried about doing things, they were not afraid of not being able to do it, but they were afraid of losing their reputation.

Lin Shisheng smiled and said, "Grandpa, please rest assured. I have already been scrupulous about this matter. It is not difficult for us to save Mr. Wangzhai's grandson. I am just worried about the public opinion of Shilin afterwards. Since this is the case, we will give them an explanation."

As he said that, Lin Shisheng gave a piece of paper and said, "Grandpa, all the solutions are here."

After seeing it, Lin Tingji nodded constantly, even drank a few more glasses of wine and said, "Miaoji, have you figured it out?"

Lin Shisheng showed a look of shame.

Lin Tingji smiled and said, "You are all serious scholars, and you can't imagine that Shisheng, who did you hire to catch your knife for you? This is not what the Qingkes who you usually travel to, who only knows how to recite poems and write against each other. Are they the guest of the Sansi Yamen or the master of the prefecture and county yamen? Could it be that they are famous litigants in the provincial capital?"

Lin Tingji put down the crab in his hand, and the maid next to him brought mung beans to clean up his hands.

Lin Shibi and Lin Shisheng looked at each other, and they were a little difficult to say.

Lin Tingji cleaned his hands, took a towel and wiped dry, and the maid brought in fragrant tea to rinse his mouth. Lin Tingji turned his head and saw the two grandchildren not answering questions, "Why am I wrong?"

Lin Shisheng said embarrassedly: "Grandpa, do you still remember the boy who competed with his elder brother just now?"

"It turned out to be him, rare, rare."

Lin Shibi said: "Didn't my uncle say that there are more talented young men than crabs in the river, so what's the rare thing?"

Lin Tingji pondered: "It is common sense for young people to be outstanding in talent, but he is not an ordinary boy who can use the meaning of the scriptures to apply what he has learned and use it to determine the case."

Hearing this, Lin Shisheng said: "Grandpa said that the child thought so too."

Lin Tingji asked, "What is the details of this boy?"

"Uncle, he is Lin Chengyi's disciple and is studying at Lianjiang Academy."

"It turned out to be him. I remember he recommended Lin Chengyi to Hu Ti, and I also wrote to recommend him to enroll."

"Yes."

"I remember his surname is Lin, and he is our Lianpu child?"

"It shouldn't be."

Lin Tingji heard a huh, showed a look of regret, and took the paper and looked at it again, saying, "This is OK. I will write a letter to Zhou Zhixian County, and Mr. Wangzhai's grandson can be released. But this young man has helped you, what have you allowed him?"

"He said he wanted to worship a Confucian scholar as his master and learn the meaning of the scriptures."

"What is the purpose of this sutra?"

"Shangshu."

Lin Tingji said a little surprised: "Shangshu, there are not many people who govern Shangshu in Fujian."

Lin Shisheng said: "Although there are not many, the child finally knows a few people."

"Speak and listen."

"My grandson has already thought about it. There are not many famous scholars in this palace who teach the Shangshu, but Mr. Wangzhai is just one. It's just right for him to teach the young Shangshu. What's more, this young man has helped their family so much."

Lin Tingji comforted his thumb and said, "Mr. Kewangzhai taught Ma Zicui, and Ma Zicui also taught Wang Yangming, which is not an authentic learning."

"Grandpa, what about Mr. Hengzhou?"

"That's even more impossible. Mr. Hengzhou's Shangshu has no family rules and is not taught by famous teachers. The perfunctory theory is no longer awesome, but it is a misleading child."

Lin Shisheng smiled and said, "It seems that there is someone in my heart who has chosen it. If it weren't for me to cure Mao Shi, and my elder brother would cure the Spring and Autumn Period, I would also want this young man to learn the scriptures with us. There is no one in the family except the second uncle, so don't he think?"

Lin Tingji nodded and said, "What's wrong?"

Lin Shibi and Lin Shisheng looked at each other, and Lin Shibi said, "Grandpa, second uncle is a Jinshi of two lists, and he is a Shujishi from the Hanlin Academy. Can you teach a schoolchild?"

Lin Tingji said: "So what if the two Jinshis are listed? Now that he is resigning at home, he is still an idle person."

"Why did the second uncle resign?" Lin Shibi and Lin Shisheng were both surprised.

Captain Lin Ting sighed and said with a hint of regret, "Your second uncle was acted voluntarily and offended Zhang Jiangling. It would be better to resign from his post, so he would try to get his temper. I asked him to teach a few disciples and not let him do nothing. He also saw from the students' desire for knowledge and learning, and he saw that he was studying in the past. Some people missed the examination and some people resigned from their posts and returned to their hometown. It was ridiculous and ridiculous!"

"Grandpa did this for the sake of the second uncle!" Lin Shisheng and Lin Shibi nodded.
