Zhou Wenjie said: "Besides, I'd better avoid it, the old master is too strict, if you ask me two words, I can't answer." ”

Besides, he said, "That's fine, you just stay in the house and talk to my sister." ”

The person who came was indeed Chen Musa, accompanied by two middle-aged disciples, both of whom had been famous for a long time, standing behind the teacher at this time, still like a primary school student.

Chen Musa and Guo Zhong were sitting opposite each other, chatting about something, and when they saw that they came in, they didn't say anything.

Besides, after meeting the elders, he retreated to his father's side and stood respectfully.

"The old man just wants to come and see it today, don't be restrained. Today's Chen Musa is kind and kind-eyed, like a charitable elder, and removes the dignity of his usual life.

"Old Master Chen, why bother, you are a sect master, a master of Jiangnan science, if you want to call a child to teach, just let a student pass it on, where do you dare to come in person. Guo Zhong obviously felt a little incredible.

Chen Musha's status in Confucianism is still higher than that of Lian Daning, no matter how Chen Baisha's faction declines, after all, he is a sect master, deeply rooted in the people, and even the imperial court is polite.

"The old man just wants to be active, so let's take a look. In addition, I have heard for a long time that the divine doctor is very insightful in health medicine, and I also want to ask for advice. Chen Musa said lightly.

"I don't dare to take this seriously, your school's efforts to adjust the heart and cultivate the character are the best in the world, if the old master is not stingy, he really wants to ask for advice. ”

"You don't have to ask me for advice, I will pass it on to him in the future. Saying that, Chen Musa pointed to the situation, "In the future, it may be your family's family education." As he spoke, he waved his hand.

A disciple behind him walked over, handed a package to him, and said with a smile: "Little junior brother, this is specially prepared for you by the teacher." ”

Besides, I don't know how to answer, and I don't dare to take it casually.

Guo Zhong smiled and said: "The old master is kind to reward, you can accept it." ”

"Some pen and ink is just a reward, this child is good at calligraphy and painting, I will use the objects I don't need as a meeting gift, don't be too polite. ”

Besides, after thanking him, he bent down to take it, Chen Musa got up and said goodbye, like Lian Daning, he came and went in a hurry, but he seemed to be more casual than Lian Daning, but in fact he was more reserved, and he did not lose his identity as a grandmaster at all times.

After sending off the guests, Guo Zhong opened the package, and sure enough, they were all ordinary things, five purple brushes, five wolf brushes, a simple inkstone, and a piece of ancient ink, which did not look like the Song Dynasty, but must have been from the early Yuan Dynasty.

Zhou Wenjie came out of the back room and helped to inspect the situation. If you talk about things, they may not be expensive, but they must be rare from Chen Musa's hands.

"Except for the brush, it seems to be all antiquities. Zhou Wenjie said. All kinds of study objects, Zhou's family also has some collections, so he can see a rough idea.

Zhong was full of suspicions, and he didn't know what kind of medicine was sold in the old master's gourd. When he picked up the inkstone and looked at it, his heart suddenly shook: this inkstone was actually used by Chen Baisha before his death. This old master is really bloody.

At the bottom of the package is a book with slightly yellowed paper, and when I open it, it turns out to be Chen Musa's hand-copied quotations from Chen Baisha.

"It seems that the old master not only wants to accept you as a protégé, but also pass on the mantle to you. Guo Zhong groaned and said, his heart was really heavy.

He hopes that his son can get ahead and have umbrellas like Lian Daning and Chen Musa, but he is also worried that after he becomes too famous, he will let his hole cards be exhausted, which is a matter of life and death.

"No, I'm not a student of his old man. Besides, he shook his head in disbelief.

"Yesterday was not, but today the old master came in person, and he officially accepted you as a protégé. Zhou Wenjie said jealously.

Besides, he didn't care, and said: "What's that, the hundreds of students in the academy aren't all disciples of the old master." ”

"Of course this is different, the old master's disciples and protégés are divided into two kinds, one is the academy student, but nominally his protégé, in fact, it is just an ordinary student, only the real person who is his door wall, can be regarded as his protégé, let me tell you, the real protégé of the old master is the two behind him, and then it may be you. ”

"Why, aren't you even a brother?" and was surprised.

Zhou Wenjie said: "My brother has been under the old master for two or three years, how can he ever get an object? ”

Listening to the conversation between the two children, Guo Zhong's heart was full of joy, and the children really grew up day by day.

"It's too complicated. Besides, he still couldn't believe it, and looked at his father with his eyes for verification. Zhong Zhong nodded.

Zhou Wenjie continued: "On the surface, they are all the same, but in fact, there is a big gap. For example, the students of the academy are not only the students of the old master, but also the students of the prefect. But this kind of student is not the same thing as a protégé. For example, if he personally presided over the autumn exam and admitted you, it would be different. ”

"Wenjie, how did you study this aspect so deeply?" and was impressed by Zhou Wenjie.

"No need to study, my brother talks about this all day at the wine table, and he can memorize it. You think they spend their days together studying the words of the article? Zhou Wenjie showed a look of disdain on his face.

Moreover, it seems to be understood that if you want to mix in Shilin or officialdom, it is only one aspect to be able to learn, and the relationship between people is the most important, and the relationship between these teachers and protégés is the most important.

"Wen Jie, you can stay for dinner today, your family will come to pick you up in the evening. Guo Zhong said to Zhou Wenjie that Zhou Wenjie is a frequent visitor to the house, and the Guo family never treats Zhou Wenjie as an outsider.

"Okay, I'm going to eat the steamed pork with dried plum vegetables made by Liu's mother. Zhou Wenjie grinned.

"You don't get tired of eating every day. And looked at him with a frown.

"Actually, I just like the dried plum vegetables in the steamed pork, or your family's cooking is delicious!"

"Well, you're a lot better than your brother when it comes to food. ”

"There's one better than him. "Zhou Wenjie is self-aware, he knows that in terms of knowledge, he may not be able to compare with his brother in this life.

Zhong ignored the two brothers' bickering, and said: "You should carefully collect the things sent by the old master, especially the inkstone that is not used, just collect it, that handscroll should be carefully pondered, and the next time we meet, I may test you." ”

After saying that, he let the two of them go back to the house with their things.

Guo Zhong then instructed his family that the door was closed, and that he would not accept the doctor today, and that if there was an emergency or serious illness that came to seek medical treatment, he could go to the clinic.

In addition, whoever comes to visit, they will all be dismissed, just say that they are not available, and they don't have to pass it in.

Besides, he had the premonition he had last night, and it was even stronger.

Besides, it was much easier at this time, although there were a series of guests at home, there was no right or wrong.

Zhou Wenjie looked at the inkstone carefully, but found nothing, and muttered: "What's strange about this inkstone?"

"Maybe it's an antique. "Besides, I was browsing the handscrolls, which were all the main theoretical views of Chen Baisha's science, and there were also public cases, which were quite like the lantern records in Zen Buddhism.

"No, it's a science quote. The old master accepted you as a protégé, did he want to pass on this to you? Zhou Wenjie didn't see the name of the inkstone, so he came over to look at the handscroll, but he understood it all at once.

"Possibly. "Besides, I have a bit of a headache. What he is most afraid of reading are Zhu Zi's language and Yangming Xinxue quotations, and Chen Baisha's quotations are obviously similar to those.

"I really sympathize with you, prepare more headache medicine for yourself, so that you can open a pharmacy at your house and grab the medicine yourself. ”

"You're gloating. "Besides, my teeth itch with hatred.

"That's the price of being in the limelight, just enjoy it. ”

Besides, he didn't have the heart to quarrel with him, no matter how reluctant he was, he still had to read it hard, and after a few pages, he got used to it, not to memorize the memory of these words, but to use photographic memory to engrave the whole text in his mind, and he was very good at this.

"Well, I said besides, if you really learn to be half-dead every day like the old master, I don't think this protégé should do well. Zhou Wenjie really sympathized with him again.

"The old master is just a special case, Wang Shouren is also a great master of science, you look at others, being an official and learning is not wrong, and he can also lead troops to quell the rebellion, and he was named Jianxinbo. The literati of this dynasty have made meritorious contributions, and he is the first person. ”

That is, he took a bunch of students all day long, while paying attention to the knowledge of science, while traveling in the mountains and rivers, and by the way, he also exterminated the bandits in the deep mountains. But there is only one Wang Shouren, and he will not come out again. You want to be the second?"

"I don't have this ambition, but I just think that studying science doesn't necessarily mean that a monk faces the wall all day long, and that's too boring. ”

"That's good, I just don't want you to be like that in the future, I can't talk to you if I want to. Zhou Wenjie smiled again.

After a moment of silence, Zhou Wenjie said again: "Besides, didn't you finish the story of Wang Shouren's rebellion that day?"

Besides, he thought about it and said: "After speaking, King Ning's head has been cut off, what story is there to tell." ”

"Wang Shouren's rebellion is wonderful, but I like what you said the most, Emperor Wuzong and Wang Shouren are playing hide and seek, it's really funny, is that true?"

"Of course it's true, I'm talking to you about history books, not commentaries. ”

So, and then we talked about that period of history.

During the Wude period, King Ning of Nanchang rebelled, the time and place were good, but unfortunately he did not get this person and, King Ning prepared for decades, everything was ready, and he was ready to raise the banner of righteousness, and the world was popular, at least half of the rivers and mountains south of the Yangtze River could be obtained.

It happened to catch up with Wang Shouren's governor of Jiangxi, when things happened, everyone panicked, Jiangnan was really in danger of falling into the hands of King Ning, Wang Shouren only mobilized some soldiers with very low combat effectiveness, and the number and morale were at a disadvantage, but he was like Chen Ping, seven strange strategies, making King Ning dizzy, and then raiding Nanchang, capturing King Ning in one fell swoop. At this time, it was more than a month since the beginning of King Ning's rebellion.

Wu Zong was overjoyed after hearing the news in Jingshi, and finally had a chance to show his skills. He was not in a hurry, according to his old man's convention, he first demoted himself, made himself the chief military officer, and led the elite border officers and troops to the battle. On the way, he received the news that Wang Shouren had captured King Ning alive and successfully quelled the rebellion.

Supposedly, he should return to Jingshi, or stop halfway and wait for Wang Shouren to sacrifice his prisoners. However, Emperor Wuzong is really different.

After he received the good news, he was not happy and angry, and ordered Wang Shouren to release King Ning, and he wanted to fight with King Ning in Poyang Lake. Just like when Taizu fought Chen Youliang in Poyang Lake.

Of course, Wang Shouren refused to obey the order, he took King Ning to hide in Tibet, that is, to avoid the court envoys, lest these sent madmen really let King Ning go. Once the tiger is released and returned to the mountain, it is really possible for the world to change hands.

If the two of them go head-to-head one-on-one, Wu Zong really has a chance to win, to say that they are more resourceful, ten Wu Zong are not Ning Wang's opponents.

To put it bluntly, Wang Shouren's success in quelling the rebellion relied on his unparalleled resourcefulness. King Ning has met his opponent. Otherwise, maybe the story of Zhu Di, the king of Yan, entering the Beijing Division, will be repeated again.

The history books are very kind, comparing Wang Shouren's achievements in quelling the rebellion to Guo Ziyi who recreated the Tang Dynasty. In comparison, Wang Shouren is much smarter than Guo Ziyi.

Zhou Wenjie listened attentively, his mouth opened wide, and his saliva was about to flow out.
