The third time

The chapter replied to the letter, quickly read it, and was silent. Xie Kai hurriedly asked the reason, whether there was anything wrong in the family, and who sent the letter. Seeing his concern, Zhang replied: "It's not him, it's sent by my brother." Saying that February was my father's birthday, I was asked to go home and pay my respects. ”

When Xie Kai heard this, his face showed a slight surprise. After a moment, Fang said: "This is a formal ceremony." Sure enough, it should be returned. He added, "If I'm not mistaken, Huaiying went to Mingyang Academy three years ago to study from Mr. Huang? At this point, Xie Kai stopped his mouth and only took a pair of eyes to gaze back.

Zhang Hui smiled: "It's exactly as Qizhuang said." However, there are some reasons for this. When I came to Nanjing that day, my father had a conversation with Mr. Huang that he would concentrate on his studies and not be distracted by his family. Therefore, in the past few years, only the brothers and sisters of the Lao family have been filial piety in front of the elders. Now the letter came, but it was really necessary to make a detailed plan and return quickly. ”

Xie Kai said: "However, Mr. Huang's "Seventeen Shi Shu Justice" only talked about the first two chapters. "If you return home, you have to tell Mr. Huang." ”

Zhang Hui smiled: "This is nature. Go now. As he spoke, he called the scholar to enter the treasure. Instructed to go to Mingyi Hall to see if Mr. Huang was there, and if he was not there, he would go to the Huxue Mountain House to check. The little scholar answered and hurried away. A moment returned: "Mr. Huang, Mr. Li, and Mr. Cheng are debating the scriptures in the snow mountain house. ”

When Xie Kai heard this, he didn't wait for Zhang Hui to speak, and said, "Stop! I won't be fooled by you." Last time, the gentlemen debated the scriptures, and asked you to pull them together, but I didn't listen to what they said, but I took a full set of innate literature and geography in the Spring and Autumn Period, Han and Wei Sanskrit scriptures, and I almost explained my life there. If you have something, go and talk to Mr. and want to call me, but you can't. ”

Zhang Hui smiled: "It's okay." But if Mr. first mentions it, I won't give you any cover, just say that you don't want to go. Saying that, he went out with his hands up, leaving Xie Kai dumbfounded and gritted his teeth without mentioning it.

This snow mountain house was originally built in the middle garden of Mingyang Academy, which is quite separated from the courtyard of the daily sitting place of Zhang Hui and other college students. Zhang Hui traveled all the way and saw more classmates. When greeting, when I heard that it was to go to the snow mountain house, their faces changed color, and one or two familiar people whispered to remind "gentlemen are not finishing their debates". Zhang Hui smiled and smiled, and walked down not a little slowly, and went straight to the garden. When I went to the mountain house, I dressed up and asked to enter.

There was a pause in the debate in the room. Zhang returned to enter, first saluted to Cheng Ye Zhi, the head of the academy mountain on the front seat, and then greeted Mr. Huang and Mr. Li in turn.

This Mingyang Academy Mountain Chang Cheng Ye Zhi, the word Ruiqiu, Mr. Huang Su, the word Yanxi, Mr. Li Ao, the word is wide. All three of them were great Confucians for a while. Cheng Yezhi was the elder of the cabinet when he was in the first dynasty, and then he was in charge of Mingyang Academy, and his disciples were numerous. Huang Su Huang Yan Xiyuan out of the Huang family in Qizhou, the great-great-grandson of Huang Wuxi, the leader of the Emperor Dynasty, inherited the Huang family's Puxue, and the contemporary scientific name is Shenglong. However, he traveled extensively in the south and north of the world, and he learned geography, hydrology, calendar, and music, and became a miscellaneous school. Zhang Hui didn't know what topic they were debating before, so he saluted, and only smiled and said, "Disturb the gentlemen's discussion, boy, please forgive me." ”

Cheng Yezhi said, "It's okay." What's the matter with you?"

Zhang Hui told the family letter. Finally, he said: "The student has been away from home for nearly three years, and he also wants to go home. After his father's birthday, he was transferred back to Nanjing, so as not to delay his homework. ”

The three gentlemen glanced at each other a few times, and Huang Su first smiled: "It turns out that Yang Zhi's birthday, I have forgotten it." But even if you don't come, we will call for you. As you said, Huaiying has been to Mingyang Academy for more than two years, and Yang Zhi said that you can't be distracted by your family, so you can't go home honestly, and it will be difficult for your children's home. ”

Zhang Hui couldn't help but say: "The student is eighteen, and Mr. also gave the table." ”

Huang Su laughed: "Twenty crowns, only for adults." If you don't rush to send you on the road to the exam, you won't be given that word. I can't count, I can't count!"

Zhang Hui knew that Huang Su was just ridiculing himself, so he didn't answer with a smile. On the side, Cheng Yezhi said with a straight face: "Yanxi, Hugh has to joke." Huaiying is here to get down to business. You only told him the sum of the first few of us. ”

Only then did Huang Su stop laughing and said, "It's okay." However, if it wasn't for a few of us combined, it was you and Zhou Kuangming who wanted to do this, and the charter and Guangru also coaxed. But I don't agree. But whether it succeeds or not, in the end, depends on Zhang Yangzhi's decision with his own family. As he spoke, he glared at Cheng Yezhi and Li Ao a few times.

Zhang Hui listened to him, and saw the expressions of the three of them again, thinking that there were disagreements and differences among the division commanders. In the words, he mentioned that his father Zhang Wangzhang looked up to him, and he needed him to make a decision, and he couldn't help but be curious. But he didn't ask questions, just waiting for Huang Su to explain the matter.

Sure enough, Huang Su said to him: "Huaiying, this year is the year of Dabi. Do you have any plans? Will you end the spring exam next year?" Without waiting for him to answer, he continued, "You passed the government examination at the age of fourteen, and then went to Beijing in the middle of the year, but you fell seriously ill in the suburbs of Beijing and missed the examination. Now three years have passed, and compared with that year, it is naturally much more profound. But do you have the certainty to go to the world?"

Zhang Hui hesitated and did not answer for a while. Seeing this, Huang Su knew to Cheng Ye: "Look! His children have never had these thoughts in their own homes. If there is the slightest thought of Jinke's end, it should be answered immediately. I said that he was young, and polishing a solid foundation is the right way, and he already has a reputation for making a name for himself, so why bother with this trip?"

Cheng Yezhi said with a smile: "Huaiying didn't think about it for a moment, you hurried to say this." Although you are his teacher, you may not fully know his thoughts. I am also his husband, and I may not be unaware of his children's measurements. That's it, knowing that you don't approve of this, I won't bother you anymore, or talk to Huaiying myself. Saying that, Xiang Zhang replied, "I think you also understand what Yanxi meant, next year's spring, he doesn't want you to end." However, the way of learning, accumulated steadily, may be able to see the size of the benefits over the years, just one or two years of training is just that. I have discussed with you, Mr. Zhou, Mr. Qian, and Mr. Li, and it is best to end up this time, whether you are in the middle or not, it will be beneficial for you to travel to Beijing and China. ”

Cheng Yezhi took out another letter from his sleeve, handed it back to Zhang, and said, "This is what I wrote to Ling Zun, you bring it to him." The meaning of a few old bones in the academy is in it, and you can see it when you look up. ”

Huang Su stumbled and said, "I actually wrote this, cunning ghost, cunning ghost! Huaiying is not in a hurry, I will also write a letter here, and you will bring it to Yangzhi." As a teacher, you must not miss the student's important affairs!" he got up and hurriedly walked to the side study table.

Cheng Yezhi smiled back at Zhang: "Your teacher is this frightening temper, you are old and old, and you can calm down in everything, and it is really the same line as Yangzhi." ”

Zhang replied: "Mr. praises. However, it is too far away from his father to be compared. ”

Cheng Ye knew: "Speaking of Yangzhi, this year should be...... Four out of forty?" Seeing Zhang Hui nodded and said "yes", the description on his face was slightly different, and then he understood, and said with a smile: "It's my bad memory, this year is the dark nine, and it should be a good job." As a son of man, you should go back to share the burden with your brother and celebrate the great event of your father-in-law. ”

Zhang Hui hurriedly saluted: "Mr. Dingzun's teaching." ”

Cheng Ye knew his head and said, "And the old lady, remember to kowtow for us." Seeing Zhang Hui's slight surprise, Cheng Yezhi showed a nostalgic look on his face, and said leisurely: "Your great-ancestor Ronggong, the teachings of those years were really thought-provoking; Xiang Zhang Hui smiled, "It's just that your Huang Yanxi is lucky, he fell into the door wall, and he was injured in your house for more than half a month, and he actually taught him to come back as half a disciple." Hateful, enviable!"

When Zhang Hui heard this, he said: "There is such a thing? My father only said that the teacher had a lot of connections with my family, so he was willing to accept me as a disgraced student." ”

Cheng Yezhi said with a smile: "If you had known that it was you, which one of the Mingyang Academy wouldn't want to come together? It's just that your father is too careful, afraid that the wrong order will be arranged, and it will be difficult to call him, so he specially sought out the relatives and elders of the Huang family to be your teacher, but told that most of the classmates in the academy did not know the identity of your grandson of the Yanling Zhang family, and only regarded you as Huang Yanxi's distant nephew." ”

Zhang Hui smiled: "If you talk about it from the aunt's wife, I should call the teacher 'uncle' good." ”

Cheng Yezhi shook his head and took a sip of tea. Zhang Hui hurriedly continued with him, and turned around to renew tea with Li Ao. Cheng Yezhi held the cup in his hand, looked at him for a moment, and suddenly smiled and said: "You are going to your aunt's wife's house! I don't believe that the old lady would approve of his nephew in the next room, and stop his nephew from trying. Moreover, your eldest uncle must also approve of your entry into the city tomorrow spring. ”

Zhang Hui smiled in response. Cheng Yezhi gave a few more instructions, and then he went out. At this moment, Huang Su's letter had not yet been written, and when he saw that Zhang came back to look at it, he only said: "You don't care about it for now, and I will send someone to Changzhou Yangzhi later." Seeing that Cheng Yezhi and the two of them came behind him, there was a look of disbelief on their faces. Cheng Yezhi laughed when he saw this, but Zhang Hui was dumbfounded and silently withdrew without mentioning it.
