Donkey Trouble Volume 4: The Prodigal Son of the Capital 61, the nobility of the evil youth
The dignity is called chic, and the arrogance of the powerful is called majesty;
Pegasus beats heroism and despises all living beings and princes;
Reversing the water of good and evil and lighting the lamp, and the fallacy should be fried in troubled times.
"That boy is fourteen or fifteen years old, with a red face, a majestic appearance, a broad forehead, a high nose and big eyes, strange bones, and a clear ambition, which is unpredictable!"
Although Xin Wenyue said mostly vague nonsense, Zhao Hongyin still looked like his son from his age and complexion, and his spirit came again. He leaned over and asked, "How did you find him?"
"Yesterday afternoon, I was walking on Optimism Street, when I suddenly heard a horse neighing, and when I looked back, I saw a red-faced boy riding on a horse, driving head-on. The young man waved his horse and whip on the street, as if he was in a no-man's land, and the pedestrians on the street took refuge on the side of the road and stopped to watch. ”
Pegasus on the street, just like the evil young people in the later generations, is a bad behavior. Xin Wenyue said in an appreciative tone, Zhao Hongyin was a little confused, and he asked blankly: "That kid is a pegasus in the city, not only disturbing pedestrians, but also in danger of hitting people, why do you still say that he is a rare talent?"
"Are you there too?"
"No, not really. Listen to people. I heard that he was flying on a horse, and one of them could not dodge it, and he knocked him down! He did not even get off his horse, but took out a piece of silver from his pocket and left it on the ground. When they thought he was rude and argued with him, he called a group of young men and wounded them. Zhao Hongyin simply said the process of Zhao Kuangyin's fight simply and objectively, wanting to see how Xin Wenyue judged.
Xin Wenyue said with a smile: "What you are listening to is only a rough process on the surface, but the specific internal situation is not so simple!"
"Although the boy's horse was a little faster, he was a great horseman, and he could not knock people over when he walked through people's gaps. It was only because the man had poor eyesight that a horse galloped and disappeared, and he ran through the streets, and he struck the horse, and fell to the ground. At that time, the horse's head had passed, and the man hit the horse's leg, which was logically not much responsibility for the boy. The boy left a piece of silver as compensation, and showed leniency, but all the people of the same kind gathered, jealous of the rich and jealous, but they were unreasonably entangled with him. Not only did they tell him to dismount and apologize, but they also told him to take the man to the pharmacy for medical treatment, and to deduct his horse as a preliminary medicine. The crowd watched, and the noise of the owls rang out. In the face of the siege of everyone, that prince summoned all his friends and taught the troubled Diao people a lesson!"
is the same thing, it seems that there is not much difference between the facts, but from the mouth of Xin Wenyue, a celebrity who is equivalent to the elite of later generations, it is reasonable.
Although Zhao Hongyin felt that Xin Wenyue's statement was a little awkward, because he was his own son, he felt that he should be judged like this. He smiled and said, "Hearing you say that, that young man doesn't seem to be very wrong. But he doesn't study well, flying horses on the street, inviting friends, and fighting, this is not a good performance after all! How can you say that he is a rare talent?" Zhao Hongyin blurted out.
"The average good horse 'can be described as a muscle', but the world's best horse must 'get its essence and forget its roughness, and forget its inside and outside!'
"If it is on the surface, it is not a good act. But if you look at the child's temperament, demeanor, temperament, and wisdom through this matter, then you can't help but praise two sentences.
"He is a flying horse on the street, skilled in driving, and athletic, which shows that he has a wide range of hobbies, is good at riding and shooting, and has a heroic and strong temperament. 'There is something inside and form outside'. What kind of performance there is, what kind of connotation it has. This son is heroic and unconventional, and must be ambitious.
"Ordinary people must hide their identities when they bump into someone, hurry up and slip away, otherwise it will be trouble; that son not only does not leave, but also is justified and arrogant, and he has the noble demeanor of daring to act. He was not to blame for this, and when he saw that the other party was a poor man with tattered clothes, he did not hesitate to throw a silver ingot, which shows that he was generous and tolerant and had compassion. He will not be stingy with money, but he will be considerate of the weak, and he will care for the people of the world. This is a princely demeanor, and it is even more rare, rare!"
"Whether he complains about him or not, if he hurts someone, he won't even get off the horse, and he won't say a word of 'I'm sorry', it's too arrogant! Besides, it's too rude to gather crowds to beat people at every turn!" Zhao Hongyin felt his loss and sighed.
Xin Wenyue laughed and continued: "In the previous dynasty, Liu Bang often opened his mouth to 'erect Confucianism' and closed his mouth to 'Naigong' when he received people, and even when a scholar came to visit, he actually took off his hat and peed inside. This is arrogant enough, isn't it rude enough? But he is the founding emperor of the Han Dynasty, and whoever sees him in the Manchu Dynasty has to look to the sky, kowtowing like pounding garlic!
"Subordinates all hope that their superiors will not be arrogant, slaves all hope that their masters will not be arrogant, and the poor all hope that the rich will not be arrogant.
"Throughout thousands of years, who is not rude or arrogant of all the great men of high power and power? The rudeness of a venerable person is called chic, and the arrogance of a noble person is called majesty. If a boss is not arrogant, he will not have majesty, so who else can he lead? The emperor divides his official positions into three, six, nine, and so on, just to make the upper and lower levels different, and to make the boss arrogant to his subordinates. There is no need for wolves to be humble and courteous to sheep, and it is impossible for mice to be rude and arrogant in front of cats, this is the law of the jungle, and it is also reasonable, and it is natural to do so.
The young man turned a deaf ear to the shouts of the people all over the street, and did not dismount to apologize, which was a noble expression of his condescension and contempt for all living beings; in the face of the noise of the people and the siege of the small groups, he was still not frightened and calm. Mount Tai collapsed in front of him, and his face did not change color and his heart did not beat, and he was heroic!
"He did not quarrel with the laity, threw the reins of his horse, and walked out of the circle of men. Everyone thought he was soft, and in less than a moment, he led more than 30 teenagers to wield knives and dance sticks to kill him. Judging the situation, advancing and retreating in moderation, despising the inferior with nobility, and deterring the untamed with strength, it is exactly what the wise man does, and the noble man has the bearing!
"He was not afraid of the people, commanded decisively, and rushed to the front, with all his might, until the adults on the street cried wolf, not only recaptured the horses, but also wounded several people, which shows that his organizational ability and command ability are indeed extraordinary!"
Zhao Hongyin nodded again and again when he heard this: "According to what Mr. said, isn't this young man not only a stubborn and wicked young man and a ruffian and hooligan that people talk about on the streets, but also a rare talent?"
"Of course! This boy is magnanimous, generous, unreasonable, and generous, and generous in helping the poor, and has a noble character; in the face of the siege, he is calm and calm, not angry or alarmed, and it can be seen that he has achieved domineering; among the young men, he is the only one who looks forward, and he commands properly, advances and retreats in a disciplined manner, and has the demeanor of a king. Fang is in a big mess today, and heroes are rising together, this son dares to act boldly, and his intelligence is extraordinary, isn't he a pillar of the blank? The emperor will have a kind of Xiangning? Since ancient times, 'the emperor takes turns to do it, and he will come to my house tomorrow'. What prince is a good child of his parents, a good student of his teacher, and an honest pimple in society?"
When Xin Wenyue said this, she stopped suddenly, the room was quiet, and it would be scary to drop a needle.
Pegasus on the street, hitting and injuring pedestrians, not even getting off the horse, throwing down a silver ingot and leaving, such contempt for all beings, arrogant and arrogant evil behavior is rare in the world! The people are upset and ask him, he actually calls a dog friend, hurts people, such a bad young man who relies on his parents' power and money, and runs rampant in the market, is clearly a scumbag, but Xin Wenyue wants to quote scriptures, falsely saying that he is noble and virtuous, a rare talent, what kind of character is he, and what does he want to do?
The shell mantis doesn't know that he's ugly, and the weasel doesn't think he's a baby. Ai'er cares for a cat to be a tiger, and hopes that his son will become a snake and a dragon, which is a common problem of being a father in the world.
Xin Wenyue's fallacies, reversing the beauty and ugliness, good and evil, are really alarmist in troubled times, and should be fried and cooked, but Zhao Hongyin was in the middle of it, but he listened to it all reason: "Yes, this Mr. Xin is right! The jungle world is where the weak eat the strong; people are good at being bullied by others, horses are good at being ridden by others, what's wrong with being stronger? Dare to fight and fight, isn't this courage? So many children listen to him, isn't this handsome? Some people say that he is an 'evil youth' and a 'prodigal son', but that is Diao Min's red eyes and the jealousy of his colleagues, why didn't I think of this? Alas, I am too conservative in my thinking, too much on the rigid rules of etiquette...... It's a shame to have met Mr. Xin!"
Zhao Hongyin thought in his heart, stood up, hugged his fist and saluted Xin Wenyue: "Thank you, Mr. Xin! If it had not been for the timely arrival of my husband, I would have bound my disdainful son and starved him for ten days?"
"Who are you talking about?"
"The red-faced child you are looking for is my disdainful son Zhao Kuangyin!"
"What, your child?" Xin Wenyue looked surprised.
"Someone, bring the eldest young master over and let Mr. Xin take a look!" Zhao Hongyin got up and shouted out the door.
The subordinate got Zhao Hongyin's order, and after not going back, he untied Zhao Kuangyin and brought him over.
"Haven't you beaten enough, what are you letting me do?" Zhao Kuangyin kicked in and out of the door, and shouted to his father with a stalk around his neck.
Zhao Hongyin was embarrassed, and Xin Wenyue had already high-fived and praised: "The son is really arrogant, unusual!"
"Who are you, what are you talking about?" Zhao Kuangyin glared at Xin Wenyue and scolded.
"Don't be rude! This is the new Xishu master I invited for you! Hurry up and salute!" Zhao Hongyin shouted loudly.
Zhao Kuangyin didn't move: "I don't want to study, I'm willing to beat you back!"
"Well said, well said! I like this stubborn character. Reading dead books and copying dead words is boring and boring, and it makes people feel like they are in prison, that is not studying, that is sinning! Many vulgar Confucians are poor and ignorant of world affairs, so what can they do for the common people? What book can teach people the way to save the country and the people?"
"I'm grass, this gentleman still has the same point of view as me!"
Zhao Kuangyin was impressed, and asked in surprise: "Doesn't your gentleman let students read and write?"
"Of course, books have to be read. There is a golden house in the book, and there is Yan Ruyu in the book——"
"What is the 'Golden House' and what is 'Yan Ruyu'?" Zhao Kuangyin asked.
"'Golden House' is to make a fortune, and 'Yan Ruyu' is a beautiful woman. How can you make a fortune without studying, become a big official, and enjoy beautiful women? If you make a big fortune, you have to manage, right? When you become a big official, you have to command, right? You still have to have knowledge!"
"Good, good, good! worthy of a generation of famous teachers, this is the beginning of the lecture!" Zhao Hongyin praised Xin Wenyue with admiration.
Xin Wenyue continued to pretend: "Teaching students is about methods. Confucius said, 'I know what I know, and I don't know anything.' A husband asked me, and it was empty. I knocked on both ends and exhausted. 'Knock on both ends', that is, from the root to the end, positive and negative, to inspire students to understand for themselves. Today's mediocre teachers only know how to endorse and write, how can children not get bored?
"Okay, I won't say more! Tomorrow you go to my school, if I don't teach well, you feel unsatisfactory, you can leave immediately, I will never give in!"
Xin Wenyue said goodbye to Zhao Kuangyin, and got up to say goodbye. Zhao Hongyin presented fifty taels of silver, which was regarded as prepaid tuition, and sent it directly outside the gate, before turning back, and ordered Zhao Kuangyin to prepare utensils and report to the school hall the next day.
The next day, Zhao Hongyin personally sent Zhao Kuangyin to Xin Wenyue Academy, and told Xin Wenyue to discipline him boldly.
Zhao Kuangyin no one dared to teach, Zhao Hongyin was helpless, Xin Wenyue took the initiative to come to the door, and took a big bag, he grabbed a straw like a drowning man, pinned all his hopes for his son on Xin Wenyue, and worshiped Xin Wenyue as a god, not only doubled the tuition fee, but also often found reasons to treat guests and give red envelopes.
can be regarded as sincerity, Zhao Kuangyin entered the Xin Wenyue Academy as if he was a different person. In the past, he frowned when he heard the word "school"; now he was happy when he mentioned "school"; in the past, he gritted his teeth with hatred when he mentioned "sir", but now he is overjoyed when he talks about "Xin Wenyue"; in the past, he didn't want to go to the school hall after urging him several times, but now he runs to the school hall when he loses his job; in the past, he left early before he got out of school, and now he doesn't come back when it gets dark, and sometimes he doesn't go home all night, saying that he studied until midnight and slept in the school hall.
Zhao Kuangyin suddenly loved learning so much, Zhao Hongyin was very happy, and he even respected Xin Wenyue as a god. The tuition fee for Xin Wenyue has been several times the first, and he keeps adding it, and he often asks for food and drink to give red envelopes, and he asks the kitchen staff to send Xin Wenyue good food and drink every day.
Although he didn't write very well, he still chose some good words such as "Model School", "A Generation of Famous Teachers", and "Peach and Plum Garden" to practice many times, wrote banners, made plaques, and beat gongs and drums to swagger for Xin Wenyue.
Xin Wenyue's reputation is getting louder and louder, and a famous thorn is unimpeded in the mansion of the powerful in Bianjing City, that is, the heads of the yamen, and when they see his famous thorn, they will also be treated as a celebrity and a high-standard reception, so that he will not kneel and kowtow. If it is a future generation, it will definitely be an elite figure who often shows his face on the TV station, and the number of hits on his blog is guaranteed to suppress the first-class names of Xu Jinglei and Han Han.
Xin Wenyue is Zhao Hongyin's son's husband, and he has a great reputation, and Zhao Hongyin certainly has a bright face. He was happy all day long, and when he saw his colleagues, he showed off Mr. Xin's goodness:
"You know, teaching is about methods. If you pay attention to the guidance of children like Mr. Xin, you are a good gentleman!"
"Mr. Xin doesn't beat the children, but the children listen to him!"
"Oh, my kid is studying with Mr. Xin, as if he was a different person!"
......
That night, Zhao Hongyin came back from the banquet, it was already late at night, and he heard Du Shi say that Zhao Kuangyin had not come back from the school, thinking that Mr. Xin forgot to sleep and eat in order to teach his son, and often stayed with each other all night, and his heart was really moved, and he drank a little too much, and he had a fever in his stomach, and he couldn't sleep when he was lying on the bed, so he nagged Du Shi vigorously: "Yin'er's prodigal son turned back and became obsessed with reading, I really have to thank Mr. Xin!"
Du Shi said: "How can you just say thank you!
"That is, tell the chef to let them eat more carefully at each meal, and in addition, the wine and tea will also be upgraded!" Zhao Hongyin said.
"In my opinion, Mr. Xin doesn't care about eating and drinking, and he doesn't care much about money, so he should worry about getting him an official position. In this way, he is worthy of his hard work for Yin'er!"
"I'm worried about it!"
......
Zhao Hongyin and his wife were discussing the benefits of Mr. Xin, and the courtyard suddenly became noisy: "There is a thief, catch the thief!"
