Chapter 10 The Prefect's Visit
Moreover, after persuading for a long time, Zhou Wenbin let go of those patrols. The sedan chair was sent first, and then returned home.
When I got home, the lights in the house had been turned off, and only the candlelight was still shining in the house, and I walked in nervously, ready to be reprimanded.
Guo Zhong just looked at him gently, and his son was not drunk and neatly dressed, so he was relieved.
Besides, I talked about today's events from beginning to end, but I only omitted the matter of Zhang Menglong's stele, because Guo Zhong had never been to the Longmen Grottoes, and he had never seen any inscriptions in the Ming Dynasty.
He has to think about all this virtually, how to pass it in front of his father in the future.
The three of them rushed to accept the situation and become protégés, and Guo Zhong didn't seem to be surprised.
He smiled bitterly: "I haven't let you take the Xiucai exam because I don't want you to set foot in the vanity fair of Shilin too early, but you are already fifteen years old, and it is impossible to be obscure no matter how much you want to, this is a matter that must be passed sooner or later." ”
"By the way, Dad, what is the official position of Zhongshu?" he asked. He really didn't know much about the imperial court rules and regulations.
"Oh, in fact, it's not a serious official position, it's equivalent to a doctor of calligraphy and painting in the Tang Dynasty, that is, an offering in the palace.
The Chinese books of this dynasty belonged to the Ministry of Rites, but in fact they were in charge of the Inner Court, and they mainly transcribed the emperor's edicts, as well as some official chapters. If it is according to the grade, it will not enter the stream at all. Kuang Zhong explained.
"Then why is this Zhou Dingcheng afraid of him? And the Zhou family is rich and powerful, why do you think he thinks he is his own family?" Moreover, countless question marks were suddenly drawn in his mind.
"Although the Chinese book does not enter the stream, it can enter and exit the inner court, travel six departments, and are familiar with both inside and outside the palace. In particular, they have made friends with many eunuchs who hold real power in the inner court, so the ministers of the outer court also avoid these people. ”
"Eunuch?" besides, I felt a little disgusting, I didn't expect Zhou Dingcheng to be this kind of character.
"This is not true, only eunuchs control the country's politics and cause chaos to the people, so they have the title of eunuchs, and the eunuchs are not all bad people, and the civil officials are not all loyal ministers. ”
"Oh, I see. "Besides, I feel like I've learned a lot more.
"Literati have always paid attention to the importance of offending a gentleman rather than a villain.
"So you have to pay attention, people like Zhou Dingcheng must not be offended, he is just a clerk, and his status is low, so he is not afraid of anything at all, he has no scruples about reputation and status, if there is a conflict with others, any tricks will come out.
"Unlike Chen Musa and Lian Prefect, it doesn't matter whether they are gentlemen or not, but they all have reputation and status, and they have to consider these things first, so they can only communicate openly and clearly, and they can't hurt people with secret arrows, nor can they use any ghost tricks. Of course, it's best not to offend them. ”
"Well, the child is just afraid that if there is a conflict between Chen and Lian in the future, he won't know how to deal with himself. It's just a hunch. Besides, he said with some concern.
Zhong Zhong's heart was shocked, and when he looked at it, he felt that his son, who got along day and night, had a side that he didn't know about, and he had matured too much in dealing with people.
Besides, when I saw his face, I had a bad feeling, I really drank too much?
"Of course, it's best if you think like this, but if you don't plan it, you don't have to be afraid of the future. You've really grown up, and I've been so busy all day long that I didn't even notice it. Guo Zhong smiled with satisfaction, of course he would not suspect that there was a modern person in his son's body.
"It's just the first time I've seen the strife in Shilin, and I've been touched by it, and I have some ideas. ”
"Another day, Dad will introduce you to someone, maybe he can help you solve your questions. ”
"Do I know this person my dad said?"
"This person's name is Wen Zhengming, you don't know him. ”
Besides, there was a burst of ecstasy in his heart, he didn't understand how his father could know Wen Zhengming.
"Is Wen Zhengming, who is talking about Dad, a great calligrapher on the same level as Tang Bohu?" and pretended to be ignorant.
Guo Zhong nodded and said, "It's not early, you go to sleep, and you have to get up normally tomorrow morning." ”
Besides, when he went out, he did think about it, and it seemed that his son had indeed grown up, and that there were some things that he should know? He thought about it for an hour, but he still felt that it was too early, so he gave up the idea, turned off the lights and went to bed.
Besides, when I went back to my room, I wanted to clear my mind after going to bed, but as soon as I touched my head on the pillow, I fell asleep soundly, and when I woke up, it was already the next day.
In the morning, Lian Daning condescended to the house, a sedan chair, and a casual clothes came to visit the palace.
He made a special trip to find the situation clock, so that he had to take the autumn exam and could not avoid it.
Guo Zhong already knew the root cause of this matter, and agreed with his mouth. In fact, having a teacher like Lian Daning is something that literati can't ask for, and there is nothing to evade it.
Lian Daning came again, and after a few words of comfort, he had to check his window class, that is, the articles, poems, and history notes he wrote on weekdays. The reason why it is called window class is because the ancients liked to read under the window, with the help of daylight, and the class is homework.
Besides, I brought some of the articles and poems I wrote before, and the calligraphy I copied, etc., after Lian Daning browsed it, it was really a prodigy, but it was not as amazing as yesterday, and I didn't think it was different.
"The dog is stupid, but it is a blessing for the grass people to be loved by her husband Zu Miao. Guo Zhong bowed deeply and thanked him.
"Brother doesn't have to be like this," Lian Daning said with a polite smile, "Although you are only practicing medicine, you also have a name in Shilin, and you have been known for a long time, but you have always been tedious and neglected to greet you." ”
The two of you come and go, and they are all entertainment words. Lian Daning's intention is only on the situation, as for whether Guo Zhong is a miracle doctor and how talented he is, he doesn't care.
Although the officials in ancient times failed to mingle with the people, they did get along with the literati, not only because there were shadows of their past in these literati who did not reach the top, but also because the talented literati among them were potential stocks, and the return on investment was often unimaginably high.
For example, Wang Yangming, if there were no loyal disciples, his doctrine would have stopped, how could there be later Yangming disciples all over the world, and there would be no later Donglin Party and Ming Society, which could directly influence the imperial court. Wang Yangming will not be carried into the holy temple and enshrined in the holy master Confucius.
In Lu Xun's words, it is to follow the sage to eat cold pork. In ancient times, all dynasties and dynasties were the highest honor that a literati could get: transcendent sanctification.
Zhong Zhong is also very satisfied, Lian Daning is not only a dignified prefect, but also a generation of Shilin grandmasters in Jiangnan, and he will enter the Ministry of Ceremonies in the future, and it is also a matter of course for the main league to be in the literary world.
My son has such a teacher, and no matter what his future is, he at least has a reliable umbrella.
Lian Daning is a busy man, and after saying something important, he got up to say goodbye, and the father and son sent them outside the gate. Lian Daning, who had already walked to the side of the sedan chair, did not get into the sedan chair immediately, but turned around and looked at Guo Zhong's father and son.
Besides, he felt a sigh in his heart, knowing that Master Lian still had something to say, he gave his father a look, and his father bowed slightly. Besides, I hurried up a few steps and arrived at Master Lian's side.
Lian Daning smiled and said, "I still forgot something, after a while, I will take you to meet a master." ”
"There's Lord Law. And he made a move.
"Don't you want to know who it is?" Lian Daning felt that this kid was really calm.
"The master in the eyes of adults must be wrong. And he replied.
"This person's name is Wen Zhengming, you've heard of it. Recently, the government invited him to help a resigned imperial historian to do a garden design, which is about to be completed, and at that time, we will meet together. Lian Daning's face was happy. After speaking, he turned around and got into the sedan chair.
Alas, it's Wen Zhengming again! Besides, he was stunned for a moment and returned to his father.
Father asked, "What did Master Fang Cailian say to you, I see that he is very happy." ”
Besides, he said lightly, "You said you want to take me to meet a master......
Watching the sedan car go away, the bell was full of joy, but it was a mixed blessing, but I was afraid that it would be an eventful autumn from now on.
