Seeing Academician Gu rushing into the room angrily, Chongguang put a hand on Gu Yuan's shoulder and asked slyly: "Xiao Yuanzi, who has offended Academician Gu? He is here to find my seventh master to give him
revenge?"
Still remembering that Chongguang had tapped his acupuncture points before, and Zhan Feiyu refused to become a disciple because of Yin Wuyan, Gu Yuan angrily threw away Chongguang's hand and said nothing with a sullen face.
"Grandmaster Gu is always smiling in the court. Why is your little attendant so bad-tempered?" Chongguang laughed and raised his hand to poke Gu Yuan's angry cheek.
"Don't do anything!" Gu Yuan glared fiercely and retreated to the corner to stand.
In the inner room, Yin Wuyan was reading a book. He was obviously only in his weak years, but the chilling and cold aura around him made people retreat. If he were to put on the official uniform of the commander of the Forbidden Dragon Guard, he would definitely make all the officials in the capital look bad.
Gu Qingzhou poured a cup of tea and drank it in one gulp. He glared at Yin Wuyan's face and said angrily, "It's just one nose and two eyes. What's there for that bastard to worry about?"
Listening to these incomprehensible words, Yin Wuyan understood it after thinking about it. His cold phoenix eyes moved slightly, and then returned to indifference.
"I thought the kid was a good judge of the situation, but I didn't expect him to be an idiot!" Gu Qingzhou snorted twice.
If word of this got out, those bad old men wouldn't laugh to death! He was a dignified Hanlin Academy scholar who wanted to accept a disciple, but he was still rejected!
"She just has a pure heart." Yin Wuyan's voice was cold, but there was an inexplicable sense of pride and pride. The little girl looked cold and ruthless, but in fact she was the most soft-hearted. She would remember everyone who was kind to her, otherwise how could she have done it because of herself?
Refuse to become a disciple.
Gu Qingzhou picked up the teapot and poured himself another cup of tea. He had already returned to his usual laziness and ease, and said, "This happened because of you. It's up to you to convince that bastard."
Yin Wuyan raised his eyes and looked meaningfully at Gu Qingzhou, who was drinking tea from a cup, "Master Gu, are you worried about losing face by being rejected again?"
The tea in his mouth suddenly lost its aroma. Gu Qingzhou put the tea cup back on the table and squeezed out the words through his teeth with a smile on his face, "Neither you nor that bastard is a good person!"
"Master Gu, why do you need to be so pretentious?" Yin Wuyan was not fooled at all, put down the book in his hand, and continued with an indifferent expression: "If Xiaoyu agrees, I'm afraid that the master-disciple status is just to deal with the Holy Master."
Today, Zhan Feiyu can cut off contact with Yin Wuyan in order to become a disciple. Then in the future, if there is a greater temptation of benefits, she can also betray Gu Qingzhou.
At this point... Gu Qingzhou laughed angrily, "It is rumored that the commander of the Forbidden Dragon Guard is taciturn but very capable of killing people. Now it seems that he talks a lot. In the future, Wu Yan, you can go to Yushitai if you leave the Forbidden Dragon Guard."
Yin Wuyan glanced lightly, picked up the tea cup and drank tea, without getting into a verbal argument with Grand Scholar Gu. The little girl on the left and right refused to become a disciple because of him.
Angry again! Gu Qingzhou raised his tea cup and drank it all in one gulp. Compared to Yin Wuyan, he was a broken kid. Who wouldn't like a little girl who values love and justice?
Zhan Feiyu, who was studying in the county school, didn't know that Gu Qingzhou had gone to find Yin Wuyan. Half of the students had asked for leave today, and Master Dou handed out the papers amidst howls.
"Xiaoyu, you can read the book by yourself." Master Dou walked to Zhan Feiyu's table and said, immediately attracting envious eyes.
The seven or eight people in the lecture hall were all scholars who had passed the college examination. The questions on the test paper were prepared for their future provincial examinations, which were a bit difficult for Zhan Feiyu.
Zhan Feiyu raised his head and said, "Master, I also want to write a paper."
Seeing such a diligent little girl, Master Dou's serious expression couldn't help softening, and he put the paper on the table, "That's fine, you can write slowly."
Immediately, seven or eight classmates looked at Zhan Feiyu with admiration. The junior sister actually asked to write the paper, which made us feel ashamed.
"Why don't you hurry up and do the questions!" scolding sounded, and Master Dou's stern eyes swept across the audience, "As long as you are as diligent as Xiaoyu, you don't have to worry about the provincial examination!"
Zhan Feiyu also began to read the paper attentively and answer the questions. There were three questions on four books, with a word count of more than 200 words; four questions on classics and meanings, with a word count of more than 300 words; and a poem in five characters and eight rhymes.
…
On the other hand, after County Magistrate Chen sent people to deliver the official document to Master Zhang of Nanxuan Prefecture, the next day, Magistrate Zhang handed the official document to his subordinates and sat firmly on Diaoyutai.
In less than two hours, the news that businessman Sun Fu committed a murder at the gate of the county school, injuring the teachings and other members of the school, spread throughout the entire Nanxuan Mansion.
Tongfu.
"Master, why are you back so early today?" A charming voice sounded. The woman who walked over with her skirt in hand clearly had wrinkles at the corners of her eyes, but her oval-shaped face, willow-leaf eyebrows, and fair and delicate skin made her look at least ten years younger.
age.
Although Sun is the second wife, she gave birth to the three young masters in the same house. Therefore, her status in the house even surpasses that of the main wife, Mrs. Yu. In addition, she is good-looking, and compared to the 17 or 18-year-old concubine in the house.
Still need to be pampered.
Tong Tongzhi looked at the charming Sun with cold eyes, but slapped him hard.
"Ah!" Sun's face was hit to the side and she stumbled to the ground. The bracelet on her wrist was broken, the bun on her head was messed up, and the left side of her delicately made-up face was red and swollen with five finger prints.
The maids and servants around were stunned. The master actually slapped the second lady!
"Master?" Tears streamed down, but this time Sun was not acting, but in pain.
Looking up at the dark-faced Tong Tongzhi, Sun trembled in fear, and an ominous feeling came to her heart.
"Come with me!" Tong Tongzhi shouted angrily, striding past Mr. Sun on the ground and walking towards the main hall.
After a while, Mrs. Yu, the main wife, who got the news, also arrived in the main hall. Similarly, the eldest son of the same family, Tong Xu, who was studying hard in the study, also hurried over.
"Why is the master so angry?" Mrs. Yu looked coldly at Mr. Sun, who was standing aside with her cheek completely swollen, and sat down on the armchair to the right of Tong Tongzhi.
"Father, mother." Tongxu calmed down his breathing after entering the door, and then said, "Father, I wonder what mistake my aunt made?"
The coldness in Tong Tongzhi's eyes was undisguised, and he was so cruel that he seemed to cut Sun Shi alive. His silence made not only Sun Shi and Tong Xu very uneasy, but also Mrs. Yu also frowned.
After a long silence, Tong Tongzhi suddenly grabbed the tea cup and smashed it at Sun.
There was a snap! The crisp sound of porcelain falling to the ground was heard, and the tea was no longer hot. But even so, Mrs. Sun looked extremely embarrassed with the tea and tea leaves on her face.
"Let me ask you, where is your brother Sun Fu?" The questioning sound was accompanied by the sound of slamming the table. When Tong Tongzhi thought of what Sun Fu had done behind his back, he wished he could kill both the Sun siblings.
Sun's expression changed with horror, her lips trembled twice, but she did not dare to speak.
On weekdays, no matter how favored Ms. Sun is, she dare not disrespect her wife, Mrs. Yu. Tong Tong knows that as a high-ranking court official, the reputation of doting on concubines and destroying wives is enough for him to drink. pot.
Compared with the rules of wives and concubines, Sun made a bigger mistake this time. She peeked into Tong Tongzhi's secret letter!
"Say!" he yelled angrily, Tong Tongzhi's eyes lit up with fire.
"Auntie, tell me quickly!" Tongxu stood aside anxiously, wondering how his mother, who was usually the best at figuring out his father's thoughts, could make his father so angry this time.
Kneeling on the ground with a plop, Sun raised her head and turned her red and swollen left face slightly to the left, so that Tong Tongzhi could only see her delicate, fair and tearful right cheek.
"Master, I know I was wrong!" Mrs. Sun, who admitted her mistake with tears in her eyes, choked out: "I accidentally saw the master's letter. I just wanted my brother to relieve the master's worries, and I asked the master to take a closer look."
Tong Tongzhi thought for a moment and realized that it was the night a few days ago. At that time, he was being beaten by the red wave. He never thought that the secret message from Beijing had arrived.
After reading it, he immediately returned to bed because he was ready to go, and the secret letter was just put in the drawer instead of burned directly like before.
Angrily, Tong Tongzhi looked at Sun, who had always been smart, and sneered: "Sun Fu is not relieving me from my worries, he is going to send me to Caishikou to be beheaded!"
As soon as these words came out, not only Mrs. Sun shivered with fear, but also Mrs. Yu and Tong Xu turned pale. What on earth happened?
Tong Tongzhi was very angry and said directly without any concealment: "Sun Fu took four nurses to the county school in Shangsi County and openly injured the teaching staff and more than ten students. He has been arrested by the magistrate of Shangsi County. Put in prison!"
"Chen Weibin sent someone to deliver the official document to Magistrate Zhang last night. The case has spread throughout Nanxuan Mansion. Those scholars will not blame Sun Fu. They will only criticize me with words and writings! They will not stop until death!"
Tong Tongzhi can imagine how much influence this case will have under the control of Zhang Zhifu and Kong. Yushitai will definitely impeach him in the morning, let alone his official position. In order to calm the anger of scholars all over the world, he may not even protect his life. !
"How could this happen?" Tongxu's legs weakened and he fell down on the chair. He passed the college entrance examination when he was eighteen years old. As a scholar, Tongxu naturally knew the horror of this matter.
Everything is of low quality, but reading is the only one that is high! Scholars have been noble since ancient times, let alone those who have achieved fame, but Sun Fu is just a businessman, a scholar, a farmer, an industrialist, and a businessman, but he ranks at the bottom.
"Master, I didn't know that my little brother would hurt someone!" Mrs. Sun knelt on the ground and cried.
She secretly told Sun Fu the news, thinking that the little girl Zhan Feiyu had some prescription in her hand, and that this prescription was very important. The words "benefit the country and the people" were used in the secret letter.
When Sun Fu gets the prescription, the Sun family may become an imperial merchant. Not only can they make a lot of money, but their status in the government will also be improved again.
How could Mrs. Sun have imagined that Sun Fu not only screwed up the matter, but also screwed it up so badly? Not only would he be imprisoned, but his fellow magistrates would also lose their official positions.
"Shut up!" Mrs. Yu had a headache from her crying. She scolded and looked at Tong Tongzhi, "Master, the matter has come to this, how should we solve it?"
Tongxu also looked at the sobbing Sun with resentment at this moment, his future was ruined in the hands of this ignorant woman!
"Come here, drag Ms. Sun down and lock her up in the woodshed!" Tong Tongzhi ordered coldly, without any trace of friendship in his eyes. He did not kill the person because the matter has not been resolved yet and will only be settled later.
The boy who came in from the door grabbed her arm, and Ms. Sun struggled violently, crying sadly and horrifiedly, "Master, please don't... Master, for the sake of giving birth to three sons for you..." "
Unfortunately, the cries gradually faded away, and the main hall became quiet again.
After a while, Mrs. Yu hurriedly got into the carriage and left the palace to go to her natal Yu family. Although the Yu family was in decline, there was still a third-grade cousin in the court.
Tongxu also left quickly with his people an hour later, looking in the direction of Shangsi County.
…
In the evening, the sun was still high in the west. Students in twos and threes left from the county school, while the students who lived in the county school walked towards the dining hall.
"Returning to the master, is he not interested in politics? This topic has been written before." Zhan Feiyu explained that his art writing was good for beginners, and the speed this time was just because he had written it before.
After reading the whole chapter, Master Dou did not analyze how to solve the topic and continue it like Master Lin did, but explained the historical background, "During the reign of Duke Lu Dinggong, the Ji family was in power, Yang Hu was in trouble, and the sage Kong refused to serve as an official to manage the country's affairs. This is why this happened Word."
Confucius said: "The Book" says: Filial piety is nothing more than filial piety, being a friend to brothers, and being helpful to those in power.
Zhan Feiyu laughed. Not only did Kong Sage not answer directly, but he used the remarks about filial piety in "Book of Zhou" to say that you can serve in politics without being an official.
Seeing that Zhan Feiyu seemed to understand, Master Dou continued to analyze in depth, "The purpose of this question is to elucidate the unexplained intention of Confucius to be unofficial. We can only use the words in "Book of Zhou·Jun Chen" as an excuse. No matter what kind of topic you encounter in the future, whether you agree or disagree, you must not violate any taboos."
Master Dou was worried that Zhan Feiyu was young and expressed his feelings in a youthful and vigorous manner, but forgot that some things could be said and some things could not be said, so he gave an example: "Cai Tingsong, a great talent in the former dynasty, was the first in both the college and provincial examinations. If If he becomes the leader again in the examination, he will be in third place. The policy issue of the examination was raised by Emperor Min, but it is a pity that Cai Tingsong violated a taboo."
Zhan Feiyu read a lot of books in Wenxing Study Studio, and he also knew about this, "Emperor Min emphasized agriculture and suppressed merchants, but Cai Tingsong's policy issues showed the importance of merchants, and even suggested that Emperor Min improve the status of merchants."
"Have you read Cai Tingsong's policy questions?" Master Dou was a little surprised. Because it was a matter of the previous dynasty, the county school did not include Cai Tingsong's articles, but there was a collection of his poems.
Zhan Feiyu nodded, "He wrote in his policy question: In ancient times, the officials and the people were one family, and farmers and merchants were the same. The top and bottom sympathized with each other, and there was no communication. When the people's illness was sick, they looked to the officials, and when the country was sick, they helped the people. Business borrowed it. Farmers are established, and farmers rely on merchants to operate. If we seek to complement each other, rather than seeking to harm each other, how can good laws and beautiful intentions fail to spread throughout the world?"
Although Emperor Min was fatuous, he was not a murderer. Unfortunately, Cai Tingsong contradicted the emperor in front of all the civil and military officials, so he was dragged out and beheaded, and this policy question that cost him his life was spread out somehow. .
"This is the principle of being careful in your words and deeds." After saying this, Master Dou looked at Zhan Feiyu with complex eyes, thinking of the scene when she held a knife to Sun Fu's neck.
Zhan Feiyu laughed guiltily, and quickly changed the subject, "The reason why Sage Kong answered like this is because he was a subject of Lu Dinggong at the time, and according to etiquette and law, he could not criticize Lu Dinggong's chaotic government in his early years."
Half an hour later, Master Dou looked at Zhan Feiyu, who had packed his things and was about to go home, and couldn't help but warned: "Don't be reckless when encountering trouble. As a student of the county school, you have instructions no matter what happens. Master
Now, don’t do anything wrong again in the future.”
"It's Master, I remember it." Zhan Fei nodded like a chicken pecking at rice.
After a while, Zhan Feiyu walked out of the study room, carrying a huge book box on her back and running away on her short legs, fearing that Master Dou would catch her and lecture her again.
"This girl!" Master Dou shook his head and laughed. After all, he was still a child who had not grown up.
Uncle Hu had been waiting outside the gate of the county school. Zhan Feiyu was often left to teach alone by his master. Uncle Hu was used to it. When he saw the little figure running over, he couldn't help but laugh, "Xiaoyu, don't worry, don't worry."
Fell down.”
"Uncle Hu, let's go to Taifu Restaurant." The clear voice was particularly cheerful.
Zhan Feiyu got on the bullock cart and took out a handkerchief to wipe the sweat from his forehead. Fortunately, he ran fast, otherwise Zhao Jiaoyu and Niu Fuzi would have taken turns to fight in a short while.
Uncle Hu raised his whip and said, "Sit tight."
The waiter of Taifu Restaurant had been waiting outside the door for a long time. Even though it was the busiest time of the restaurant, the shopkeeper still asked him to wait at the door, for fear of neglecting Zhan Feiyu.
"Shopkeeper, the oxcart is here." The waiter called back, and he went up to him with a smile on his face, "Zhan Xiaomengtong, my master has prepared the food. Wait for Xiaomengtong to finish eating."
Discuss in detail."
"Thank you for being so polite, sir." Zhan Feiyu replied after getting off the bullock cart, but he didn't refuse and followed the waiter to the second floor.
This time I came here because in addition to all kinds of vegetables, Taifu Restaurant also planned to buy fruits, chickens, ducks, and eggs from the village. Originally, it was enough to just talk to Zhan Wencheng, but Mr. Xie wanted to sell them to Zhan Wencheng.
Feiyu, after all, the negotiation is concluded, and her status in the village will be improved.
