Chapter 181: Qin Duanmu
A feeling that he had never felt before hit Qin Chen's heart.
He had never experienced it when he was in and out of the Houmen Mansion, he had never experienced it when he was giving advice to business leaders, and he had not even felt this way when he walked on the podium and was worshiped by thousands of people.
Life is like a boat, and only when you have despaired in the reverse current, cried and knelt down can you understand the true meaning of respect.
What Wang Yong brought to Qin Zhen was the emotion of respect.
In the years since he was paralyzed, all the friends who used to boast of being friends with their hearts were scattered, and he was greeted only with endless cold eyes and ridicule. The family has been defeated so far, and no one has helped them, and there are even many who have fallen into the well.
was originally a talented person who helped the people in the world, but he became a rotten material waiting for relief.
The change in the living environment is secondary, and what Qin Zhen can't stand the most is that he has no sense of identity.
I didn't expect to meet someone today, someone who understood him and gave him full respect.
Qin Zhen looked at Wang Yong gratefully, and he had the intention of dying for his confidant.
Qin Yuqing on the side was a little shocked.
He knew that Wang Yong had some knowledge, but he didn't expect Wang Yong to be so knowledgeable. What level his father is, he knows it clearly. He could read through no more than two of the books in that room.
And sometimes some things that the school teacher can't explain clearly in a whole class, but my father can explain it thoroughly.
He had always thought that there could be no one in this world who could understand his father, including himself.
But Wang Yong did it unexpectedly, better than he imagined.
"Teacher Wang, drink water. Out of gratitude, Qin Yuqing hurriedly poured a glass of water for Wang Yong.
In all these years, my father has never been happier than he is today. Qin Yuqing was very satisfied, even if Wang Yong immediately hit his little report, it didn't matter.
He confessed.
Wang Yong didn't think as Qin Yuqing thought, but quietly flipped through "Learning Collection" and kept exclaiming.
Wang Yong admired from the bottom of his heart, it was really the first time he had seen someone who could explain the classics of Chinese culture so thoroughly.
Just like Qin Xu's previous sentence that pierced Qin Yuqing's academic performance, the annotations on the main points in the whole book are to the point and extremely sharp.
If you use the realm of national art to describe Qin Chen, Qin Zhen is like a great master at the peak of his strength, where are the flaws in you, and whether you are hostile to him or not, he can see through it at a glance. All the little movements were invisible in front of him.
This is the great Confucianism of the world. The eyes are like torches, and a leaf knows autumn.
What makes Wang Yong even more admired is that Qin Zhen is not behind closed doors at all, only making academic comments. His interpretation of the classics is more related to the current political and economic situation. Many treacherous political and economic methods were told by him, and all of them were peeled off and opened.
This kind of insight is not like the ability that an ordinary scholar can have.
"Huh, this sentence ......" When Wang Yong read a certain chapter, he was suddenly stunned.
It was Qin Chen's annotation on the ancient sentence "Zi Xun is good and seductive, Bo me with words, ask me to be courteous, and I can't stop", but in the annotation, Qin Zhen mentioned a person.
The old man of the village house.
That was the nickname of Grandpa Wang Yong in his later years!
Wang Yong's grandfather lived in a small township under Tiantai City in his later years, living in seclusion and calling himself the old man of Xiangzhai. This nickname is only known to a few close disciples of Grandpa Wang Yong, and outsiders don't know that Wang Hongjin once gave himself such a nickname.
Qin Zhen said in his annotation that he was once fortunate to be taught by the old man in the township, could he actually know his grandfather?
"What's wrong, Mr. Wang? Isn't there anything wrong? Even though I pointed it out, I'm not the kind of conceited person who doesn't listen to people. Qin Zhen looked at Wang Yong a little strangely and asked.
Wang Yong hesitated slightly, and decided that it was better to ask clearly. So he pointed to the four words "old man in the countryside" in the draft, and said, "Dare to ask Mr. Qin how he recognized this person?"
Qin Zhen was stunned, and a heavy sadness flashed in his eyes.
After a while, Qin Zhen sighed and said, "I didn't want to tell others, so I deliberately used a hidden name from the teacher, and I didn't want others to know my relationship with the teacher." But since you asked, I don't want to hide it either. This man was my teacher. ”
"What?" Wang Yong was stunned.
Qin Zhen turned out to be a student of his grandfather? How could this be! He had never seen Qin Zhen before! He didn't remember that his grandfather had such a disciple.
Looking at Qin Zhen in disbelief, Wang Yong asked again: "Your teacher won't be called Wang Hongjin, right?"
Qin Zhen looked up in surprise, just as incredulous: "How do you know that the old man in the countryside is the teacher?"
"Because I gave it this name. Wang Yong smiled slightly and said.
Who knew that these words made Qin Zhen furious, his face instantly turned pale, his eyes showed surging anger, and he glared at Wang Yong.
"I thought you were a Sven person, but I didn't expect it to be a gentleman! The ancestor is gone, why do you want to insult a deceased old man like this? You took it? The yellow-mouthed child also dared to speak, not afraid of flashing his tongue!"
Qin Xu's anger came too suddenly, which made Wang Yong and Qin Yuqing a little stunned.
Wang Yong still didn't understand what offended Qin Zhen and made him so angry.
Qin Yuqing knew something, he pulled the corner of Wang Yong's clothes, and whispered: "Teacher Wang, my father respects his teacher, and he can't tolerate the slightest insult." You just said that you took the name of his teacher, and of course my dad was angry. How can you be qualified to name Old Man Wang Hongjin?"
Qin Zhen obviously also heard Qin Yuqing's words, he pointed to the door angrily, and said, "The Tao is not the same, although Qin Zhen is grateful for your friendship, he also doesn't want to be friends with a person who is full of nonsense and insults to the ancestors. Please come back!"
But it was a stiffness.
Wang Yong shook his head helplessly, and said with a wry smile: "I really don't mean to insult, what I said is the truth." ”
"You're still quibbling now!Yu Qing, send off guests!" Qin Zhen simply turned his head and didn't even look at Wang Yong.
Qin Yuqing looked at Wang Yong with some reluctance, but still hardened his heart: "Teacher Wang, let's go." I like to brag about myself sometimes, but you seem to have blown it this time. ”
Neither father nor son believed in Wang Yong.
Angry, Wang Yong slapped Qin Yuqing on the back of the head and asked, "What's my surname?"
Qin Yuqing rubbed his head and replied inexplicably, "Wang." ”
"Then what is Wang Hongjin's surname?"
"Teacher Wang, are you confused, of course Wang Hongjin is also surnamed ......" Halfway through his words, Qin Yuqing suddenly couldn't speak.
Because he suddenly guessed a possibility, a Wang Yong has no possibility of lying!
And this may not have been said by Qin Yuqing yet, Wang Yong's brain collapsed on his head again.
"I didn't listen well when I saw you in class! I said in the first class when I introduced myself, my grandfather is Wang Hongjin. What were you doing?"
Qin Yuqing scratched his hair embarrassedly and said, "I may have fallen asleep." ”
Wang Yong instantly had an urge to kill Qin Yuqing. At that time, Wang Yong pretended to be a very perfect comparison, thinking that he had successfully conquered all the students in the fourth class of high school. Who knew there was another one missing!
It was Qin Yuqing who made Wang Yong's perfect outfit a little flawed.
And Qin Xu, who was ignored by Wang Yong and Qin Yuqing, was shocked more than anyone else at the moment.
His eyes widened, his face was full of surprise and suspicion, and he couldn't believe Wang Yong's words.
"What you said is true?" Qin Zhen suddenly grabbed Wang Yong's hand and asked excitedly.
Wang Yong nodded solemnly, and took out his ID card: "Oh, look." Wang Yong, not a word is bad. Is the home address also the same place as Wang Hongjin?"
Qin Zhen took the ID card tremblingly, looked at it again and again, and looked at it for several minutes, and suddenly a line of tears flowed down.
"Teacher, disciple Duanmu is ashamed of you! At that time, I didn't have the face to go to your funeral, and I thought that I would never see you again in this life. But in the dark you sent your grandson over, did you want to warn me again? I'm sorry, teacher. If I had listened to you, I wouldn't have fallen to this point...... Sorry ......"
Qin Zhen burst into tears and shouted hoarsely.
"Dad......" Qin Yuqing was a little sluggish. He had never seen his father lose his temper like this, and he was still in front of an outsider.
And the more he listened to his father's words, the more confused he became, what the hell was going on.
Wang Yong sighed a little sadly. He didn't know exactly what happened, but he could guess some clues from Qin Chen's words.
It must have been Qin Zhen who had an argument with his grandfather, and then Qin Zhen went astray, which eventually led to his current situation.
"No, he just said that disciple Duanmu, is he the Qin Duanmu who made grandpa pity for half his life?"
Wang Yong suddenly thought of something and lost his voice.
Qin Duanmu, this is a title recognized by everyone, including Grandpa Wang Yong, but it is not his real name.
The word Duanmu originates from the surname of Zigong, a disciple of Confucius, and Zigong is called Duanmu Ci.
Zigong is eloquent, eloquent, and capable, well-versed, and once served as the minister of Lu and the country. He is also good at business, once did business between Cao and Lu, and was rich and rich, and was the richest man among Confucius's disciples. "Duanmu Legacy" refers to the atmosphere of honest business left by Zigong, which has become the god of wealth believed by the Han people. Zigong is good at breeding, and has the style of "a gentleman loves money and takes it in a good way", which is respected by the business community in later generations.
At the same time, Zigong was also one of the ten philosophers of Confucius, one of the disciples of "karma and body", and Confucius once called it "the instrument of Hulian".
What is the vessel of Hu Lian? Hu Lian is a noble instrument vessel that was used to hold millet during the ancient sacrifice, and the vessel of Hu Lian is a metaphor for people who are particularly talented and can take on great responsibilities.
This is a very high evaluation, and Confucius rarely said this about his disciples.
A person can be called a modern Duanmuci, and even directly crowned with the word "Duanmu" after the surname, what kind of praise is that person?
Wang Hongjin's student, Qin Duanmu is the same. He has the same strategy as Zigong, and has unique and accurate views on current affairs, politics and economics. He befriended many high-ranking officials and wealthy businessmen, used his wisdom to travel among them, and also accumulated a lot of wealth.
It's just that just as Confucius didn't approve of Zigong very much, Wang Hongjin didn't approve of Qin Duanmu's behavior either.
He once advised Qin Duanmu not to go too hard with political and economic figures, otherwise he would be burned and counterproductive. There is no real "Destiny" in this world, and retreating bravely at critical moments is the right way.
But Qin Duanmu didn't follow Wang Hongjin's advice at that time, and quarreled with the teacher for this. At this point, the master and apprentice parted ways and never communicated again.
Wang Yong also heard other people talk about it when he was at his grandfather's funeral, and this Qin Duanmu was really planted later, and he was implicated by a high-ranking official, and he was almost reduced to a prisoner. If it weren't for someone secretly exerting force at that time, Qin Duanmu was afraid that he would have to sit through the prison. And everyone speculated that the person who secretly helped was Wang Hongjin.
Only a teacher would rescue a disciple at such a time, regardless of his previous suspicions.
Recalling these past events and looking at Qin Zhen again, Wang Yong suddenly understood.
Qin Xu, it's that Qin Duanmu!
