It was said that the person who came to visit Lin Fengjin was Sun Xiang, an outer disciple of Donglin Academy who had been in contact with him before. The other person was Sima Fang, but he was from the same place as Sun Xiang, so after returning home for the New Year, the two
People walked together hand in hand. The fat Zhao Xuetai was Sun Xiang's uncle. Because he had to bring his family to take up the new post here, he also came with him. He brought his family with him to take up the post, so there were a lot of trivial things.
As an elder, I am here a step late.
Arranging a meeting between Zhao Xuetai and Lin Fengjin was also an arrangement by Donglin Academy as a show of goodwill. It also showed the strength of Donglin Academy: You see, the academic institutions in your state are all our people, and it also warned Lin Fengjin not to do it.
I went to Wude Academy half-heartedly.
How could a serious person like Sima Fang talk to Lin Fengjin about women and cause Lin Qiye to misunderstand? It was Lin Fengjin who painstakingly and skillfully created the atmosphere. Because Lin Fengjin was the
When I was talking about the imperial examination with the two of them, I deliberately brought up a topic:
"In my eyes, official status and beauty have something in common."
Women and official positions must be the two most attractive things for high-spirited and talented young people, so Sun Xiang and Sima Fang were curious about what he said and were willing to hear the details. Lin Fengjin said:
"The sages said: There is a beauty like jade in the book, and there is a house of gold in the book. There is also a saying: The night of flowers and candles in the bridal chamber is the time when the names on the gold list are named. The night of flowers and candles in the bridal chamber is also ranked before the names on the gold list. Are there any similarities?
"
The two laughed loudly when they heard what Lin Fengjin said. At this time, Lin Fengjin had already noticed with his extraordinary hearing that Lin Qiye next door had come to eavesdrop, so he said
". ¨According to Brother Sima's ability, it is natural that he can easily capture a lady, a young lady, a young woman with a thin body and a fat body."
The meaning behind his words at this time is "every lady, the twenty-eight-year-old lady is thin and fat." In fact, if you follow the meaning of the previous words, it is to compliment Sima Fang for his talent, and he can take official positions in the court at will. Sima Fang originally meant
He thinks very highly of himself, so of course he accepts it calmly.
The "Lao Weiwu" the three of them were talking about was Lin Fengjin talking about the Taoist Meng who caused the plague in the village.
What he said was ambiguous. When Sun Xiang and Sima Fang heard it, they naturally thought he was talking about Meng Daoren, and Lin Qiye, who was eavesdropping next to him, would naturally respond to him.
Interrupted by Master Lin Qi, the group of people naturally moved to another restaurant. After sitting down, they talked about the affairs of Tianchang Academy. Lin Fengjin did not hide anything, so he only concealed the key points and the rest.
All the ins and outs are explained one by one.
Donglin Academy naturally had its own information channels to corroborate this with what Lin Fengjin said, and they knew that what he said was without water.
Sun Xiang then sighed and said that indeed people's words can be feared. All the teachers at Donglin Academy read the couplet "Wind and Rain" and were all impressed. Many people wanted to ask for advice. As a result, it was reported from Tianchang Academy that Lin
The news that Feng Jin "killed his master" is shocking.
Lin Fengjin immediately shouted that he was wronged! Then he told the story about the Five Punishment Swords of the ancient Legalists, implying that he had become the scapegoat for the internal fighting among the Legalists. Hearing the words "The Five Punishment Swords of the Ancients", Sima Fang was also attracted by this
Shocked by the explosive news, Sun Xiang looked at each other and said that Senior Brother Ren Mo, thanks to Lin Fengjin's hospitality, entrusted them to invite Lin Fengjin to Donglin Academy to "visit friends."
In fact, both parties at this time knew very well that Donglin Academy was recruiting for the couplet "Wind and Rain". Lin Fengjin was originally an outer disciple of Tianchang Academy and even mentioned "killing the master".
He was given an extremely vicious reputation, so it was definitely impossible to go back, and he was single at the time. The two of them hit it off immediately.
It's just that the Donglin Academy family has a big business, so they still have to save some face, and they can't look too ugly, so they have to use the excuse of Ren Mo to invite Lin Fengjin to "visit friends". This is just like when I was in junior high school and high school.
There is a reason why a girl always comes to you with a blushing face and asks you math questions like how much Ls1 is equal to.
Lin Fengjin had been waiting for this step for a long time and immediately said that one day was like three autumns apart. He missed Senior Brother Ren Mo very much after not seeing him for hundreds of autumns, so he went home to pack his bags.
Sun Xiang and Sima Fang naturally boarded the boat to wait for him. When they saw Lin Fengjin acting like this, they finally let out a sigh of relief.
What the two of them were most afraid of was that this guy was haggling over the price, and he insisted that he had to be a disciple before he could go. Otherwise, he would threaten to go to Wude Academy or Feifeng Academy. That would be very difficult. If he left a job for the school,
The impression of incompetence is always a stain.
Not long after Lin Fengjin left, a wretched Taoist priest with a deer head and rat eyes came behind him. Sima Fang recognized him and knew that he was Lin Fengjin's housekeeper.
Taste to your liking.
Sun Xiang's family had money, so they gave him a rare Tianhuang stone.
Sima Fang's family was poor, so what Lin Fengjin gave him was a standard set of the Four Treasures of the Study: Hu brushes (twelve ink pieces), rice paper (twenty-four kilograms), and Duan inkstone (one square)! - The stuff is similar to
It's similar to the three-piece Apple set given to college freshmen now, but it's a little more precious. It's the kind of gift that's very practical and hard to refuse.
As for Zhao Xuetai, he simply saved the trouble. The "Bu Yanli" in Xiangdu knew the details of most officials clearly. Knowing that Zhao Xuetai was the kind of person who was upright on the surface but could be accommodating behind the scenes, he directly
He handed over a box of sesame cakes, a local specialty, worth seven cents. But when he turned his back to leave, he asked the Zhao family's confidant butler, and then simply handed over a five thousand tael silver note, saying it was a shock payment.
.This housekeeper is Zhao Xuetai's second uncle, a real close relative. He gave in after a few symbolic pushes and still refused.
Of course, Wuxian Fu did not forget to grab the housekeeper and said that today a member of the tribe bumped into Mr. Zhao without any reason. He was extremely frightened and sorry. However, this "disturbing fee" was paid by my young master and has nothing to do with the perpetrator. Don't have any scruples.
, we must enforce the law impartially, be strict and strict, and serve as a warning to others. Of course, the housekeeper understands this.
At this time, Lin Fengjin cleared up the family affairs one by one, and then proudly went to see the old man holding Zhao Xuetai's famous tattoo. When Lin saw that he was a fourth-grade Xuezheng, he was immediately dizzy, let alone
The supervisor of this province, Xue Tai! He hurriedly rushed to the ship to meet him. Of course, with the previous five thousand taels of silver as a preparation, both the host and the guest were happy.
Then Lin Fengjin talked about going to Donglin Academy. Of course the old man agreed with a smile, and because Donglin Academy was in the Northern Qi Dynasty and he was going abroad, he couldn't help but have some worries in his heart. The old man solved his worries
The best way is to ask Lin Fengjin to bring more money.
one.
Then several mothers in the back house heard that Lin Fengjin was leaving in a hurry, and they all couldn't bear to leave him. They held him in tears and refused to let him go. In the end, if Lin Yuanwai hadn't been impatient and interrupted, Lin Fengjin would have really
I can't leave anymore.
On the same day, Lin Fengjin followed Sun Xiang and Sima Fang down the river, and parted ways with Zhao Xuetai on the third day.
After they arrived at Hukou, the important town of Jiangfang, they abandoned the boat and landed, and then headed north. When passing the border, because both Sun Xiang and Sima Fang had certificates from Donglin Academy, no one dared to give them trouble.
It passed very smoothly. If the procedures were followed under normal circumstances, then it is estimated that it would be ordinary to be delayed here for three to five days.
As the three of them walked together, they talked about Donglin Academy. Only then did Lin Fengjin know some common sense about Donglin Academy:
At this time, the resources of teachers and students in Donglin Academy are roughly divided into four levels. The highest level is the hidden sages, which refers to those great Confucians who have withdrawn from the world and no longer teach disciples. They have already lived in seclusion.
A virtuous man, living in seclusion in all directions, suppressing the literary and ink fortunes of the world!
Yinxian is divided into Dayin, Zhongyin and Xiaoyin. There are rumors that Xiaoyin hides in the wild, Zhongyin hides in the city, and Dayin hides in the court. The Ruan Xian whom Lin Fengjin met is Xiaoyin.
Then there are the great masters in the Confucian sect, also known as Hongru. The knowledge and strength of these people are not necessarily weaker than those of Yinxian. The difference is that they are either still writing books or teaching disciples.
Zheng Xuan, Zhou Dunyi, Yang Shi, Lu Jiuyuan and others belong to this kind of people.
The next level is the Great Confucians. These people are the backbone of the academy. Most of them are the disciples of Hongru who stayed in the academy. They have grown up at this time and are "establishing virtue and meritorious service" when teaching knowledge.
, the three major steps of “making a statement”.
The last level is the disciples, who are also the hard work and future of the academy. If the disciples are strictly divided according to the level of education, then they will be divided into Yibo disciples, inner disciples, and outer disciples. Yibo disciples are the masters who teach each other and pass on themselves.
The mantle is similar to that of Ip Man to Bruce Lee, and that of Huo Yuanjia to Chen Zhen, while the disciples who enter the house can only get the teachings of the great Confucianism.
However, there is another way to classify, and that is to classify according to the degree of academic completion.
Disciples who are about to leave school are called first-generation disciples, which can be understood as senior students. For example, Bian Shoumin and Ren Mo mentioned before are the first-generation disciples. Their knowledge is enough and they have nothing to learn from their teachers.
Things must be realized through practice to complete one's own ideas and Tao.
Sima Fang, Gu Xian and others are the second generation disciples. They are those who have found their own way, studied in the academy, and gained something.
Of course, the third generation of disciples are the scholars who are still accumulating knowledge and searching for their own way after entering the academy.
This division has little to do with the time of entry. It still depends on one's own talent and knowledge. For example, Ren Mo has been considered a first-generation disciple after only four years of entry, while Sun Xiang has been an outsider for seven years.
He is only a second-generation disciple among his disciples.
