Chapter 345: Return to Jinling Academy (2)
This is the world-famous Cheng Zhang of Jinling Academy, I don't know how many talents have been taught, it can be said that it is really full of peach and plum, but one of them has no intention of being an official, so he has been praised by many hermits, Wen Jun naturally knows that the personalities of these two people are not suitable for being officials, so they persuaded the two to come to Jinling Academy to teach, but Mr. Cheng's ambition has always been the creation of the party, but he has been bound by the position of the mountain chief, so he also has a lot of complaints about Wen Jun.
"Come with me and sit in the room." Mr. Zhang opened his mouth and said, and the two followed Mr. Zhang to a very elegant living room, outside the Sichuan is a pond and bamboo forest, but it is very quiet. Wen Jun looked at the furnishings in these four places, and couldn't help but say, "It is true that it has not changed at all." Mr. Zhang said with a smile: "We always thought that Elder Wen would come back soon, but we didn't expect that after seven years, you will already be a second-class master in Jiangnan, and Brother Cheng is still just a teacher." What Mr. Zhang said made Wen Jun feel guilty, and he said: "I came here this time to find Brother Cheng to serve as the academic administrator of Jinling. ”
Mr. Zhang was stunned for a moment, and then said, "What about the position of the mountain chief?" ”
"Of course, it's up to you, Brother Zhang." As soon as this Mr. Zhang heard this, his face suddenly changed and he said: "Wen Lao Mo wants to be like this, you know my character, I can't hold the position of mountain chief." Wen Jun naturally knew that this guy would not take the position of this mountain chief, so he was prepared.
"In this way, I have to suspend this matter for the first time, let me introduce you first, this is Yan Lu, Zizi Road, it is my New Year's friend, how about I introduce him to you as a teacher in Jinling Academy?" Mr. Zhang had naturally heard of Yan Lu's name, and he said: "Mr. Yan's name has naturally been heard of below, and it is not a good thing to have such a great Confucian sitting in Jinling Academy." "This Mr. Zhang and Zhang Weiwen have a little blood relationship, and their appearance is also quite similar, and even their personalities are somewhat similar, Yan Lu not only has a good impression of this Mr. Zhang.
"Why don't you go with you to a class at this time?" Mr. Zhang opened his mouth to speak, Wen Jun nodded and said, "Which gentleman's class is it?" ”
"It's the lesson of the mountain man."
The students of Jinling Academy are generally hardworking, so there is no phenomenon of skipping class, so it is indeed a very good thing to be a teacher here, this Mr. Cheng is eloquent, and his insights into the Book of Changes are simple and very fascinating, so after listening to this class, Yan Lu feels that he has benefited a lot.
After the slightly arrogant mountain elder came down, Wen Jun took him to the house to discuss the matter of being an official, and Yan Lu walked around this refreshing academy by himself, while Mr. Zhang went to class.
There happened to be a group of scholars discussing problems here, Yan Lu couldn't help but be a little curious and walked next to them, only to see that these people were holding the nine doors written by Zhang Weiwen, and it was a collection, which made Yan Lu a little surprised, I didn't expect these things to spread so fast, at this time, these scholars saw Yan Lu, and subconsciously wanted to do the teacher-student etiquette, but they didn't expect that this gentleman was not their teacher at all, and they were a little embarrassed for a while.
Yan Lu hurriedly said: "Yan is not your teacher yet, so you don't have to be so polite to me, but in a few days, it will be like this." Yan Lu had a gentle temperament when he spoke, and one of the students asked, "Could it be that Mr. Yan Lu is the world-famous Mr. Yan Lu?" Yan Lu smiled and said, "I dare not be famous in the world, but I am indeed called Yan Lu." At this time, all the students saluted Yan Lu very respectfully, and said, "The students have seen Mr. Yan Lu. ”
Yan Lu hurriedly said, "You don't have to be so polite. At this time, he couldn't help but feel that the atmosphere of this academy was really very good, and he couldn't help but have a little admiration for that Shanzhang lord. At this time, a handsome young man took the book of nine doors in his hand and asked, "The student heard that Mr. and Master Zhang are very good, can you answer a question from the student, this question has been bothering the student for a long time." Zhang Weiwen smiled and said: "The nine doors written by Brother Tautology are broad and profound, as long as you are proficient in one of them, it is not an exaggeration to open a sect, I have only heard Tautology talk about some of these superficial truths, and I dare not talk about the two words in vain." ”
"Please sir!" Yan Lu saw these students' expressions like this, and suddenly understood in his heart. He embellished what Zhang Weiwen said before and told this group of students, Yan Lu is a great Confucian in the end, and naturally it is not comparable to Zhang Weiwen and other halfway monks, so after a while, these originally very simple boos were full of respect for Yan Lu, a freshly baked teacher.
Yan Lu smiled and waved goodbye to them.
At this time, Wen Jun and Yan Lu were sitting in the carriage, and they still had the interest of hiking when they went up the mountain, but at this time it was already twilight, so naturally they didn't have the heart to look at those scenes anymore, at this time Wen Jun asked: "What does Zilu think of these students?" Yan Lu smiled and said: "They are all very good children, much better than those who are talented but have bad hearts and skills I have seen, this is the future pillar of the country." At this time, Wen Jun smiled and said, "Do you know the identities of these children?" ”
"These are the children of well-off families according to the tautology, these children of the two families have lived smoothly since childhood, and in terms of quality, those children of each family should be more pure and kind, and the children of those poor families are more honest."
Yan Lu thought for a while and said, "This makes some sense. Wen Jun looked at the scenery outside and said: "You haven't been an official, don't you know, when I was the governor of the northwest over the years, the most corrupt officials I caught were those who were highly expected to be very poor scholars, because they were too lacking, so they would not be satisfied when they had them, and the children of those big families, there are also many amazing and brilliant people among them, such as Yan Yi, but this kind of person is often deep in thought and good at scheming because of the overly complicated living environment. But Zilu also said that this country does not need any schemers, he needs real people like Tautology who do things for the country. ”
Yan Lu didn't speak, but just remembered that amazing person.
"Fate is fair, it gives you something, and you have to accept the add-on to it, whether it is good or bad." Yan Lu said slowly, Wen Jun was a little strange and asked, "What do you mean by this?" “
"This is what Ziyi once said to me, after he said this, he gave Qingrui to that person, and officially embarked on the road of no return." (To be continued.) )
