Chapter 117: The Past

The summer weather is really changing, the morning is still scorching, but after lunch, the sky suddenly becomes overcast, the dark clouds are overhead, the room is dark, and the rain is very fast.

Standing under the eaves and looking at the rain curtain outside, Zhang Linyi sighed: "I didn't expect the summer rain to really fall." ”

Yuan Anping looked at the gray sky: "It seems that I can spend a lot of time." Said to Zhang Linyi, "Stay on a rainy day, or you will stay overnight tonight." Rooms are still available. ”

Zhang Lin was so strong that he didn't shirk: "It's okay." Otherwise, I'll have some water and wine ready for us, and we'll have a good time tonight. ”

Thinking of his waste amount of alcohol, Yuan Anping refused: "Forget about the wine, this kind of thing will wait for me to practice the amount of wine." "After all, there's class tomorrow, and he doesn't want to work with a hangover headache.

"You can't drink too much, even if you can't drink a thousand glasses, you have to be able to drink a few glasses. You really have to practice your drinking. Thinking that Yuan Anping had been nesting in this small village, he suggested, "I see that you are either teaching or relaxing at home all day, why don't you go out and make a few classmates and friends, some like-minded friends, and expand your network?" ”

Yuan Anping understands that classmates have always been very important connections, and it is also an ability to make friends. However, in his experience, it is difficult to make like-minded friends in one word. As for wanting to make friends, it is also not easy: "I'm lazy and don't like to go out." ”

"If it's because there's no suitable opportunity, I can refer you to some banquets." Zhang Linyi thought that Yuan Anping was young and had left the private school for a long time, and the friends he had made in the past were probably estranged, so he thought that maybe he could help him, take him to some occasions, and make some useful friends.

"No, it's not time yet." Making friends is actually making friends with scholars, with his current background, it is still a little worse to discuss articles with people who are writing poems, and it is better to hide it.

Since Yuan Anping refused, knowing that the other party had his own considerations, Zhang Linyi stopped mentioning this matter. However, he felt that he did not seize the opportunity to use his connections to his own benefit, which he admired.

Of course, he does not despise people who associate with him with a purpose, after all, it is not a wrong thing to seek benefits for himself in the right way. It's just that in comparison, Yuan Anping, who has a more simple purpose, makes him appreciate it more.

I moved a chair and sat down in the corridor, although occasionally raindrops would be blown off the hem of my clothes due to the wind, and neither of them cared, so that the coolness and rain would only make people feel comfortable.

Zhang Linyi took a sip of the herbal tea on the small table: "Although this kind of weather is inconvenient to travel, it makes people feel peaceful." It's very comfortable to sit here, why don't Mr. Nakasun come here and sit with us. ”

Yuan Anping smiled: "He doesn't like to get along with people who know his past. ”

Zhang Linyi was a little surprised: "I didn't expect Mr. Zhongsun to remember me." "He and Zhongsun Lianjue are actually not familiar with each other, but they have met once or twice at some banquets. At that time, Zhongsun Lianjue was the status of the stars, he was just a small businessman, it would be good to be lucky to attend, where would attract attention. So I didn't expect Zhongsun Lianjue to know that he knew about the other party.

Yuan Anping explained to him: "He doesn't remember you either, it's just that your attitude towards him makes him see that you are the one who knows his past." Maybe you don't want to face it subconsciously, don't care. ”

Zhang Linyi realized: "So that's the case, I understand this." "Falling from the clouds to the dust is not something that anyone can bear. Even if you can see it, it doesn't mean that you are willing to see familiar people and things.

Zhang Linyi couldn't help but sigh: "Mr. Zhongsun has been famous since he was a child, and he is a third-grade bachelor in the official residence at a young age, with a noble character and an upright personality, and he is the object of admiration of many scholars. Then there was some regret, "It's a pity that I once exhorted the emperor to be diligent and not to favor traitors, and was belittled by the emperor, and then he was impeached and disgraced by people who were jealous of him." The most unbelievable thing is that Mr. Zhongsun's family actually removed Mr. Zhongsun from the list in order to protect themselves. ”

Yuan Anping really didn't expect Zhongsun Lianjue to have such a past, he became famous at a young age, but he lost his official position because he admonished the emperor, just like Zhang Linyi's opinion, hearing that Zhongsun Lianjue was removed from the family, Yuan Anping was also very shocked. Family genealogy is as important as life for people here. If you are delisted, it is equivalent to losing your roots, and it will also be considered a shame. In order to protect himself, he expelled his grandson Lian Jue, such a family is really ......

"The past is gone." Yuan Anping secretly decided in his heart that if he had the opportunity in the future, he would definitely take Zhongsun Lianjue back, and it would be good to worship the ancestors. As for the middle grandson's family who abandoned him, there is nothing to go back to.

"It's just a pity that Mr. Zhongsun's talent has been buried like this."

Yuan Anping thought about it, what scholars value is that their talents can be displayed, even if Zhongsun Lianjue's performance has been seen, and he no longer cares about fame and fortune. But dying in obscurity was never what he wanted.

"Maybe you can find something for him to do." Yuan Anping thought to himself.

What the literati can do is to write poems and articles, and of course, they can concentrate on writing books and sayings that have been passed down through the ages. However, let the other party write a book and say that he does not have such conditions now, after all, it requires a lot of references. But it's okay to do other things, such as sorting out poetry collections, writing articles, embellishing idiom stories, and so on.

After thinking about the way to let Zhongsun Lianjue kill time, Yuan Anping no longer worried about anything: "There's nothing to be sorry about, maybe he is not suitable to be an official at all." Although he lost his position, his life was fine. As for displaying talents, gold will shine wherever it goes, and there is no way to hide it if you have real talent and real learning. "There are also many officials who provoke the emperor to be beheaded or punished or exiled, compared to those, just losing their official positions, which is already good.

"You have a point." However, no one will be willing to encounter that kind of thing. It's even harder to be able to make a difference again.

Huo Xiaohan stood at the door of the hall, looked at the two people sitting in the corridor chatting, and hesitated: "It's almost time to go to class, shouldn't you remind him." ”

Zhong Sunrui held the umbrella: "Brother Xiaohan, I'm going to class." ”

"Huh? Oh. Be careful when walking, pick a place where there is no water, and be careful of slipping. "Children always like to play in the water, and they like to do it even more when they tread water and make splashes, but they are easy to slip.

"I see." Zhong Sunrui looked in Yuan Anping's direction, "Brother Anping, isn't he going to class in the afternoon?" ”

"He hasn't said yet, you go to the class first, I'll go over and ask him."

Huo Xiaohan came to Yuan Anping's side with an umbrella: "Brother Anping, it's time for you to go to class." "Maybe it should be Li Zi and them to help with the class, otherwise it's not good to leave the guests alone.

"It's time for class." Yuan Anping said to Zhang Linyi, "I'm sorry, I have to go to class, you can be here by yourself, you can tell Xiaohan if you need anything." ”

Zhang Linyi didn't care much: "Okay, you are free." 166 Reading Network
