CHAPTER XLIV
The place where the Buddhist monks debated with the Taoist real people was not elsewhere, it was Zhiyang Zhai of Yingchuan County. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ο½ο½ο½ο½ο½ο½ γ ο½ο½ο½ο½
Yang Zhai has a long history, the great-great-grandson of Xuanyuan Yellow Emperor, the leader of the Xia Hou tribe Yu Yu in Tushan and the leaders of the Yixia tribes, after Yu's death, his son Qi held a grand banquet in Yang Zhai Juntai, in order to entertain many clan and tribal leaders, the Xia Dynasty was established, and Yang Zhai also became the imperial capital of the Xia Dynasty. Because of this, Yuzhou in the past and Yingchuan in the present day have become the political and economic center of the Yellow River Basin since ancient times, and it is also a place where people gather.
At the time of the Qin Dynasty, there were about 270,000 households in the seventeen counties of Yingchuan, with a population of nearly 1.5 million, which was better than the imperial capital Chang'an, and could be called the largest and richest place in the country. After the Han and Qi dynasties, this number has not decreased, but has nearly doubled.
Even when the Great Qi was at its most chaotic, the iron cavalry of the Hu people was firmly resisted in the areas of Hongnong and Hanoi, and did not let the war spread to the rich Yingchuan. The influx of countless homeless people, the confrontation between the old and emerging families, and the rapid circulation of assets and goods have made Yingchuan more prosperous. In the first year of Xingping, Daqi re-approved the land and population, and there were 600,000 households in Yingchuan County, with a population of nearly 4 million. What's more, at present, when the royal family is in a hurry to cross to the south and has lost control over the north, and even Jing Zhaoyin and Henan Yin, who are surnamed Liangliang, have to make concessions to the north, Yingchuan, which is located in the buffer zone between the north and the south, has become more important, not to mention, but also given a new meaning.
Yingchuan is mountainous, and most of the academies and cottages are located on the outskirts of the city, built against the mountains. Students who live in Yingchuan County naturally come early and return late, live far away, and can't afford to build a courtyard in Yingchuan, so they will build a simple hut or wooden house on the side to rest and live.
Shangdang Xu's has a medium-sized village on the outskirts of Yangzhai, which is a gift from Wei Gong to his protΓ©gΓ© Xu Ze, which can be called priceless. When Xu Heng was studying in Yingchuan, he lived there, and Xu Ze, Xu Hui and others came over, so they would naturally settle here.
Early that morning, after Xu Heng finished taking care of himself, he ordered someone to prepare an ox cart.
When Xu Heng's companion Sanyuan heard this, he was slightly disapproving in his heart, so he cautiously advised: "Lord Lang and the second girl have both sent letters, saying that they will arrive in the next two days, and Lang Jun ......."
"I promised Brother Wei a few days ago that I would go to visit Dr. Zhao today, how can I be disappointing?" Xu Heng smiled disappreciatively, his words were full of pride and confidence, "Even if my grandfather knows, he won't blame me, prepare the car!" β
This future heir of the Xu family has a very good life - Danfeng's eyes are slightly raised, and he seems to be smiling but not smiling, outlining the ultimate elegance. His chin is very pointed, his lips are very thin, and he has a very feminine and even feminine appearance, but because of his own arrogance and conceit, he does not allow others to refuse, and he has a character that saves face, so he is forced to be very flamboyant and chic.
Seeing that Xu Heng said this, Sanyuan didn't dare to say more, for fear of upsetting his own master, so he ordered people to quickly prepare an ox cart and go to Anming Lake on the outskirts of Yingchuan. When the group arrived at the foot of Tangong Mountain on the outskirts of Yingchuan, and could see Anming Lake not far away, a familiar ox cart appeared in front of them, and they saw a heroic young man Lang get out of the car neatly, and laughed loudly: "Brother Xu is still so punctual." β
Xu Heng got out of the car, bowed his head lightly, and said lightly: "Brother Wei is too." β
This handsome-looking, sunny young man named Wei Li is the great-great-grandson of the great Confucian Wei Gong and the third son of the head of the Wei family in this generation. The relationship between Wei's and Xu's has always been good, and generations of descendants have maintained a certain friendship, not to mention that Wei Li has no pursuit of fame and fortune, let alone any deep scheming, his mind is all immersed in music and calligraphy and painting, and he is very open-minded and generous, or his nerves are so coarse that ordinary people can hardly imagine.
Only a person like him can get along with Xu Heng, who has a somewhat strange personality and is not very gregarious. Xu Heng knew that it was not easy for him to get a true friend, and many times he was too lazy to sweep the interest of Wei Li, for example, today, the two of them made an appointment to visit Zhao Mu, a doctor from Yingchuan County, who lived in a house, completely because Wei Li himself heard that Zhao Mu was very good at phonology, whether it was reading and reciting classics or writing articles, it was like a piece of music, and his heart was very itchy. visited several times, but was politely rejected by Zhao Mu on the grounds that "students need to be taught and there is no time to discuss problems".
Zhao Mu is well-read and has amazing talents, but because of his Han background, he has never been reused, and he naturally has some knots about the family, but due to the social status quo, there is no way to change it. In desperation, he pinned his hopes on the next generation, teaching students to follow the style of the ancestors, whether the other party is from a family or a poor family, as long as they pass his assessment, they can accept his guidance. This practice is not seen by the children of the family, but it is revered by the poor students.
Most of the families have celebrities who belong to their own families, even if they don't, they can also worship the famous people of the good family, and naturally feel that they will lose their identity by worshipping under the name of Zhao Mu, who was born in the Han clan. What's more, he felt that Zhao Mu was obviously an official, but he was still mixed with the Han clan, and he was deeply ashamed and criticized him, and Wei Li's uncle was a strong supporter of this argument.
Wei Li knew that his uncle and Zhao Mu were quite dirty, the former had publicly humiliated the latter, and it was normal for him to be disliked, so in desperation, Wei Li had to ask his friend Xu Heng hard.
Contrary to the Wei family who offended Zhao Mu, Xu Ze had the grace of knowing Zhao Mu, not only when Zhao Mu was cold, he gave Zhao Mu a book, and when he was depressed, Xu Ze recommended him to be a doctor of county studies in Yingchuan County. This kindness, Zhao Mu has always kept in mind, Xu Heng is out of the horse, naturally much better than Wei Li bumping into it like a headless fly.
Seeing Xu Heng's faint expression, Wei Li touched his head embarrassedly and said, "I know you don't like places with many poor students, but ......"
"Three generations before the Xu family of the Shangdang, I could only barely enter the second door, which was one level higher than the Hanmen, how could I be so prejudiced?" Xu Heng saw that Wei Li couldn't say any reason, so he explained nonchalantly, "I just hate others flattering me, buzzing around me, like mosquitoes, making people's brains hurt." β
When Wei Li heard this, he couldn't help laughing: "Okay, you Xu Heng, last time I directly said that Guo Ye was a peacock, and this time I said that those children of the poor family who like to drill camps are mosquitoes, except for the two Xu Fujun, is there anyone in this world that you dare not evaluate?" β
Xu Heng raised his eyebrows slightly and corrected Wei Li's erroneous remarks: "I didn't directly say that Guo Ye, let alone that he was a peacock, I remember, my original words were-some people wear clothes woven of peacock egret feathers every day, and they are dressed more beautifully than women, don't they give up being a man and are willing to be a peacock with an open screen?" β
"Yes, yes, you didn't name him, you just said such a sentence when he came to provoke you." Wei Li couldn't help but laugh and said, "I heard that when he went back that day, Guo Ye ordered someone to burn the finch gold fur that he was most proud of, and beat the people who made and managed the clothes, and sent out many slaves and maids, and even the most favored concubines were killed and driven out mercilessly. I haven't seen him wear any beautiful clothes these days, but he has only switched between blue, blue, and Li colors......"
"In that case, he should thank me and save him a lot of money on making clothes." Xu Heng added a sentence unhurriedly, and said thoughtfully, "I never thought that he would value me so much, and he would do whatever I said, which is really not an honor." Looks like the next time I meet him, I'll have to talk to him. β
Wei Li laughed so hard that he couldn't breathe, and there were some tears in his eyes: "Don't, if you make him mad, Guo Dasima has to cross the Yangtze River and rush to the party to settle accounts with you." β
Speaking of which, Wei Li is also embarrassed, Yingchuan is a place, even if you look at your talent, your family background is also a part that must be weighed. Guo Ye, as the youngest son of the eldest Sima Guo Sheng, the queen's favorite nephew, and the prince's cousin, was destined to be held by countless people as soon as he was born, even against the prince who was not from a good background, he was also dominant, but who is Xu Heng! In terms of talent, especially eloquence, Xu Heng threw Guo Ye off; On popularity...... One of them is arrogant and the other is obedient, half a pound and eight taels; In terms of family background, it is true that Xu Heng is not as good as Guo Ye, but he doesn't have to rely on Guo Ye, after all, no matter how strong Guo Dasima is, he will not be able to take the situation of the warlords in the north within 20 years - people don't seek to be motivated, they don't want to break into the inner circle of the court, they just want to manage their own land in peace, what can you do with me?
It is precisely because of his confidence that Xu Heng offended people - especially those surnamed Wu and Qiao who were used to being praised, and they had to let others leave no trace of everything, and they were happy to be the first - that was called a ruthless person. If you dare to do it to me, I will dare to retaliate back, not to mention my own popularity, and I have a reputation for being arrogant. If it weren't for Xu Heng, as the heir of the Xu family, he was destined to become the Taishou of the Shangdang, and these four words alone would be enough to determine the dead end of his future career.
Xu Heng shook his head noncommittally, his eyes fell to a place where many students from Anming Lake gathered, and he pondered for a moment before raising his chin slightly and asking, "What's the situation over there?" β
Wei Li came back to Anming Lake several times, and had already figured out the terrain and situation, and when he heard the words, he said: "You said over there!" It is Zhao Mu's proud protΓ©gΓ© Liu Zhan, who is reviewing his homework for many juniors! β
"Liu Zhan?" Xu Heng has an excellent memory, and after a while, he squinted his eyes and said disdainfully, "It can't be the one from Huiji County, who is obviously a concubine, but he wants to disguise himself as a concubine, and he is complacent about it, a guy who is hypocritical, right?" β
Wei Li knew that Xu Heng didn't have a good impression of the matter of Mrs. Zhong's concubine, otherwise he wouldn't have a lukewarm relationship with the children of the Zhong family. But Wei Li had dealt with Liu Zhan a few times, and felt that the other party was quite good in terms of talent, demeanor and temperament, so he subconsciously said good things for Liu Zhan: "The things of the previous generation have nothing to do with him, Liu Lang loves the house and Wu, and seeing his amazing talent, he can't bear to be wasted as a child of a poor family all his life, so he will pass him on to his brother as an heir, can he refuse?" β
After that, Wei Li pointed to the place where the disciples gathered, and said: "Liu Zan seems to be gentle, but he is actually a very high-spirited person, because of his embarrassing identity, any Confucian feels tricky, and he is only willing to accept him as a registered disciple, refusing to officially include him in the door, and pushing him around with great talent, he is angry, and he worships Zhao Mu as a teacher." β
"With this kind of status, it's already good to be a registered disciple." Xu Ze has always respected his wife and his children and grandchildren, and clearly distinguished the difference between wives and concubines, so as not to brainwash the idea of restlessness in the family first, Mrs. Zhong is not on the stage, but the concubine brother who was recorded as a sister-in-law made a few troubles, and wanted to change Xu Heng's mind, just relying on a few words of Weili is not enough, it is Xu Heng's eyes squinted slightly, and there was a little more mean meaning in his words, "He has such an embarrassing identity, and if he doesn't make an amiable appearance, can he be as arrogant as me?" It is difficult to draw the skin and bones of a tiger, and who knows who he is but who he is? Brother Wei must not be deceived by appearances, and treat the jackal as a loyal dog, and he will be bitten back in the future. β
Wei Li naturally wouldn't turn his face with a good brother for a stranger, he smiled helplessly, and just wanted to say something, he saw Sixi, who was originally staying in Xu's Manor, riding a horse over, and when he saw his own Langjun, he dismounted in embarrassment, and almost rolled over.
When Xu Heng saw the four of them, he knew in his heart, and his face showed a little joy, and he said in a tone that seemed to be questioning, but in fact affirmed: "But grandfather, aunt and two sisters have arrived?" β
"Exactly, Lang Jun, ...... you" Sixi panted, and before he finished speaking, Wei Li jumped three feet high with joy, and then said in a little panic: "Xu Fujun is actually here today?" Brother, you didn't tell me! Oh, do you think my appearance can be dignified? What about the clothes? Doesn't it seem too frivolous? And the accessories......"
Xu Heng looked at him speechlessly, and then said after a while, "Didn't you go to visit Dr. Zhao today?" β
"Dr. Zhao can see him every day, but Xu Fujun is not common!" Wei Li said without hesitation, Xu Heng held his forehead with his hand, helpless.
It was a wrong decision for him to come out today...... If he really knew that Weili was such a virtue, why did he go to the suburbs?
