After hearing the host's greeting, everyone took their seats one after another. It can be said that the location is not particular, and you can sit casually.
For example, Wang Tingxiang, who had definitely the highest official position in the room, only offered wine with Zhan and listened to people's opinions. Wen Daizhao and Wen Daizhao were nearby and randomly found seats for four people to sit down.
But the seats are subtle and sophisticated, and only an expert can tell the difference.
For example, according to Qin Dewei's idea, the four people including Wang Ting and Wang should be in the order of Wang, Zhan, Wen, and Wen, but he found that the actual order is Zhan, Wang, Wen, and Wen.
Wang Tingxiang, the highest-ranking official, is second, while Grand Master Wen Renquan is fourth behind Wen Zhengming. This is definitely not a random coincidence, because even the order of seating is in this order.
There is knowledge everywhere in life, and Qin Dewei couldn't help but fall into deep thought.
While thinking about it, Qin Dewei suddenly discovered that the four big guys who were seated turned their heads and looked at him with very teasing expressions.
Because among the group of people who were talking about Qingyun just now, he was the only one who was still standing there.
The big guys want to see the prodigy’s jokes again! Qin Dewei finally realized that gangsters have to be thick-skinned, and they can’t sit back and wait for death!
After a few glances, Wen Zhengming was still the best to bully. Qin Dewei walked decisively to Wen Zhengming and said teasingly: "Mr. Hengshan, I'm sorry that I'm too young to understand, but what's the point here?"
Wen Zhengming nodded and said, a bit pretentiously: "I'll teach you, kid, this is the Hanyuan gathering table!"
Qin Dewei immediately understood that the Ming literati were so pretentious that they really had nothing to say.
Even within the literati, they still have to be divided into three, six or nine, label themselves as superior, and have corresponding chains of contempt.
Let’s not talk about the promotion of Jinshi and talents. The person who is at the top of the force ecology is the Hanyuan Ci Linguan. Once a Hanlin, you will always be proud of the Hanlin. Even if you become a bachelor of Zaifu, you should still regard yourself as a Hanyuan Ci official.
The characters in Hanyuan are different from outsiders, so they must have their own set of rules, otherwise how can they show their true character? Since the seats here are labeled as Hanyuan, they naturally follow the rules of Hanyuan.
Zhan Jijiu, who was at the top of the list, had served as editor and attendant in the Hanlin Academy. He was from a serious Hanlin background, so he sat at the top. Note: Wen Zhengming was also in the Hanlin Academy at that time.
After Wang Tingxiang was admitted to the imperial examination, he was selected as a scholar to study in the Hanlin Academy. After all, he was inferior to a serious CI official, so he was given wine by Zhan.
Qin Dewei directly skipped the question of a former Hanlin Academy Ninth Rank Emperor who was waiting for an imperial edict. If it weren't for the fact that there was no one else here, and Wen Zhengming and Zhan Jijiu had worked together in the Hanlin Academy, the Ninth Rank Emperor's Imperial Academy would not have even thought of serving the imperial edict.
Does not include those below seventh grade.
He just looked at Wen Renquan, who was sitting at the end of the table, and said doubtfully: "I dare to ask the great master, is there anyone worse than Wen Daizhao in this Hanlin Academy? The only ones left are those who are not in the flow, look.
You don’t look like that either.”
Wen Zhengming always felt that something was wrong with what he said, and he was being connoted again?
Wen Renquan waved his hand: "I am not from the Hanlin Academy, but because my grandfather was the number one scholar, I can barely be considered a postgraduate from the Hanlin Academy."
Qin Dewei was speechless. There are always a hundred ways for literati to establish relationships and discuss friendships. No wonder your great master is sitting at the end, lower than the ninth rank waiting for imperial edict. It turns out that he can only sit here as a relative of Hanlin.
But what's even more sad is that among a hundred methods, he, Qin Dewei, has no one available at this time. He couldn't help but ask one more question: "I wonder who the grand master's grandfather is?"
The custom of the Ming Dynasty always gave preferential treatment and tolerance to child prodigies. Wen Renquan introduced him: "He is Hai Riweng of Yuyao."
Although Qin Dewei didn't understand who Hai Riweng was referring to, he immediately realized that the Yuyao champion in previous decades was Wang Hua!
Anyone who has read the novel Daming Guan knows this person. Of course, Wang Hua’s most famous identity is Wang Yangming’s father.
Qin Dewei calculated the relationship between the characters. It turns out that Grandmaster Wenren, your mother is Wang Yangming’s sister? Then Grandmaster Wenren, you are Wang Yangming’s nephew? That’s disrespectful.
Now I finally understand what's going on this time, I'm tired.
Wen Zhengming wanted to see the little prodigy's joke the most. He only teased it once and it was not enough, so he teased again: "What? There is no place for you here."
Qin Dewei replied: "To be fair to Mr. Hengshan, I just saw the princes sitting down, and I was shocked and puzzled. Why can Mr. Hengshan be among them?"
Wen Zhengming gritted his teeth and said, "What do you mean? Look down on someone like me?"
"No, no!" Qin Dewei quickly denied, and then bowed respectfully to the first Zhanji wine: "I heard that Mr. Nai is a famous scholar in Neo-Confucianism!"
Neo-Confucianism, the most orthodox philosophical school, objective idealism.
Then he bowed respectfully to Wang Tingxiang: "I heard, I am the master of Qi in the world!"
Qi science, passed down from Zhang Zai in the Northern Song Dynasty, is a simple materialism.
Finally, Qin Dewei saluted Wen Renquan again: "A family of intellectuals!"
Xinxue, newly created by Wang Yangming, is the most fashionable philosophical school today, subjective idealism.
Finally, Qin Dewei summarized it: "I see that there are all the scholars, Neo-Confucianism, Qiology, and Xinxue. I thought that the purpose of this place is for the three religions to sit at the same table! That's why I am very surprised. I don't know why Mr. Hengshan is sitting down."
Famous calligrapher, painter, writer, but not a philosopher, Wen Zhengming: ""
Zhan Jijiu, who was most familiar with Wen Zhengming, laughed and joked: "It seems that the discussion of Taoism by three religions at the same table is a good story. Why don't you avoid Hengshan for a while?"
Qin Dewei pointed to the side not far away: "Look there are still empty seats there. Mr. Hengshan will go sit there with me?"
"No!" Wen Zhengming refused unreasonably. Who can have no character!
Qin Dewei advised again: "Actually, I just want to take a step to speak. If Mr. Hengshan refuses to go, I'm afraid someone will ridicule Mr. Hengshan for being a dishonest and unjust person."
"Having no faith or righteousness?" Wen Zhengming was a little confused, "Although I have read a lot, I don't know where you start talking about this!"
Qin Dewei said sincerely: "I really have something serious to do. Just go over there and talk for a few words. After I finish talking, Mr. Hengshan will come back. With these few steps, can I still lie to you?"
Wen Zhengming stood up and left the table hesitantly, and walked with Qin Dewei to an empty seat not far away.
Just listen to Qin Dewei ask: "Mr. Hengshan just said that you can ask for a favor from Grandmaster Wenren on my behalf. Can you honor it? As the saying goes, a gentleman's words are hard to follow!"
Wen Zhengming was speechless. Is this what you're talking about? Are you serious about it? But next time it's your turn to take the Taoist exam, Wen Renquan will no longer be in office. What's the use of asking for favors?
Qin Dewei added: "I have a tutor, Mr. Zeng who takes care of Zhongyi, and he will take part in the provincial examination next year.
Although the Grand Master is not the examiner, he is also the coordinator responsible for the examination. He will do his best to take care of him when he can. He does not ask for cheating to pass the examination, but it can only make Mr. Zeng feel more comfortable during the examination.
Of course, if Mr. Hengshan is unwilling to speak, then just pretend that he has never promised anything, and I will not force anyone to do anything."
Wen Zhengming: ""
Are primary school students so deep-minded nowadays? I thought I was teasing the primary school students with empty talk, but it turned out that the clown was me!
Qin Dewei couldn't stop sighing, struggling at the bottom was too hard. Even if Mr. Zeng couldn't pass the exam this time, it wouldn't be a loss if he could join a prestigious family like Wenrenquan.
By the way, I have to mention to Wang Tingxiang that Mr. Zeng likes military affairs. Qin Dewei really feels that he has endless worries.
Who knows the sadness of the struggles of little people! Do you really think that Qin Dewei, who talks about learning funny singing, just loves the art of showing off?
