New Year is the beginning of the new year.

Under the cold river breeze, a fast boat quietly left the Jiangning wharf. Jia Yin stood on the bow of the ship, watching the majestic city wall farther and farther away, and returned to the cabin in amazement.

Since the nonsense conversation in Zhou's mansion, Jia Yin's whole person has been drunk in the spring breeze.

Until Guo Mingwu came to thank him with a gift, saying that the owner of the family learned that the matter was solved on the way, and he did not come to Jiangning again because of the busy affairs of the New Year, and made amends in Bianliang another day, and said that Su Qiniang's body had recovered and he would return to Bianliang first.

Jia Yin woke up from his dream, sent Guo Mingwu out in a daze, looked back at the burden on the table, and untied it, but it was a fine chain soft armor.

The armor has no sleeves and no collar, and the whole body is strung with ring-sized buckles, which should be round, twisted into an irregular bulge shape, one ring is sleeved with one ring, and it is woven into an iron ring gown, which is just right to wear.

Cheng Shen knew the goods and said that this is a good thing that is difficult to buy. Jiayin didn't see the good, thinking that the lazy monk master was very skillful, and it was not difficult to make up this one.

Cheng Shen said that this is pure gold soft armor, don't look at this ring is small and hard, Jia Yin pinched one and tried it, and it really took a lot of strength to pinch it, thinking that ordinary knives can't be cut, and distant arrows can't be pierced, and the weight is light, it is a self-defense weapon for walking the rivers and lakes, if you go to the battlefield, you can also put on another layer of outer armor, and one more layer of defense.

He caressed the precious gift, feeling the cold touch, and his heart was not happy but worried.

The more expensive the gift from the Su family, the more he is regarded as an outsider.

Thinking like this, he became irritated again, messed up his soft armor, walked out of the door to relax, and was blown by the cold wind for a long time, and Fang returned in a daze.

Since then, the master and brother have taken turns to teach, breaking apart a volume of Analects, crumpling the lectures, until the Chinese New Year's Eve.

The so-called true transmission of a word, false transmission of thousands of books, Jia Yin can feel that he is really making progress every day, he has learned to think, once this year passes, he has really grown up.

The year was spent at Sima's house, and Chunniu personally invited her, harvested three big happy seals, and happily pulled the old master into the car.

After the third day of the first month, Xu is the taste of the year can be more homesick, although the master said that the health is not very good, but insisted on leaving, then discussed the canal, smooth and steady to Qiantang, maybe there can be a sea ship in Wu to go south, that is the best, if not, then look at the situation.

Boat all the way, learn all the way, Jiayin cherished this rare opportunity very much, Qin Yue sent a letter earlier, and the master also said that there was no need to send it again, but he was reluctant, and only said that he would talk about it when he arrived in Qiantang.

In the afternoon of this day, when he arrived in Suzhou, the master deliberately stopped the boat, changed the boat, and went straight to Hanshan Temple with two disciples, pointing to the text on the wall of the temple and saying: "Hanshan asked and said: There are people in the world who slander me, bully me, insult me, laugh at me, despise me, despise me, hate me, deceive me, how to deal with it?" He said: Just endure him, let him, let him, avoid him, bear with him, respect him, ignore him, and stay for a few more years and watch him. ”

"This is not a way to hide from the world, it is actually a way to deal with the world, you can't simply understand the literal meaning, you two and copy the following verses, and you will understand it in the future."

Jia Yingong took note of it.

A few days after the boat arrived at Qiantang, the three of them abandoned the boat and went ashore, and saw the market lined with shops, pedestrians bustling and rubbing shoulders, and the master sighed, "This place is different and prosperous." ”

That night, the inn rested. Because of the fatigue of the journey, it was late the next day, Jiayin helped the master pinch the bones and massage, Cheng Shen went out to buy breakfast, and after a while, he ran upstairs in a hurry, saying that he had met the old man.

"Zhang Jialiulang took the ship here a few years ago, and he will return in a few days."

"Oh? But the Zhang family in Jinjiang? ”

"Exactly, he heard that the teacher was here, and said that he would come over to see him in the afternoon." When Cheng Shen saw the old man at first glance, he lost his stability and generosity, and danced excitedly like a child.

Jia Yin was also very happy, and the master also attached great importance to seeing the old man, and after lunch, he changed into the new robe that Jia Yin had prepared for him in Jiangning.

At the end of the day, Zhang Liulang really came to visit, and Jiayin saw that he was in his thirties, with a purple face and short mustache, gentle as jade, stable and generous, and very polite to his master.

Zhang Liulang sat for about two quarters of an hour, and because he had business, he got up to say goodbye, but left two small servants to help carry the luggage, saying that they would live together and take care of everything.

The master bowed his head happily, and Jiayin and his senior brother were busy packing their luggage, and with the help of the little maid, they came to a mansion, which was quiet and elegant, and even arranged a separate courtyard and assigned a maid to serve.

Seeing that he had made thoughtful arrangements, and that he was accompanied by guards, servants, and maidservants, he knew that the master would return to his hometown with him, and he would definitely be safe and comfortable, so he really put his mind at ease.

It was the night when Zhang Liulang set up a banquet to catch the wind, and the guests and hosts enjoyed themselves.

Back in the small courtyard, Cheng Shen made tea for the master, the three of them sat and talked, and the master said: "Since I met the son of the deceased, he is used to taking sea boats, the big ship is stable, the guards are thorough, it is safe and easy to go home, and it is comfortable for the master to live here, Huzi, you will return tomorrow." ”

Although Jiayin was reluctant, he still got up and responded.

"On the day of boarding, you had three doubts, and now you don't know how to solve them, so talk about them and listen to them as a teacher."

Jia Yin thought for a while and said, "The suppression of bandits, what you did is right, and it is not right. Yes, it is because they occupy the mountains as kings and sell smuggled salt, which not only harms business travelers, but also violates the law of the country, and should be suppressed. ”

"But we also have things that are wrong, such as the innocent family members of thieves and thieves, and they should be properly resettled afterwards, and the thieves also go astray, and they should be treated differently from those who are full of evil, rather than killing them."

"Moreover, Jiulang only ran for money in arranging the affairs of suppressing bandits, turned a blind eye to the thieves and weak thieves, and afterwards supported Jiang Hong, who was originally a thief, as the county commander, and failed to clear the remnants, which was not conducive to people's livelihood and public security, and his original intention was bad."

The master said with relief: "You already know the way of being a man, but you don't know the art of being an official, after you go back, you can communicate with Qin Jiu a lot." Hear what he thinks. What do you think about marriage? ”

Jia Yin's face turned red, and after thinking about it, he said sincerely: "One is one." ”

The master nodded and smiled: "This matter is easier said than done, you have to deal with it properly, don't hurt her heart." ”

"Yes."

The master said: "You and I have been together for a short time, and we can only teach you some basic principles of being a person and doing things, you can study hard, and you are very pleased to be a teacher. ”

Jia Yin hurriedly stepped forward and knelt down.

"No need to be polite, get up and speak." The master stretched out his hand to help, but Jia Yin didn't dare to exert force with his teacher, so he quickly stood up.

The master instructed to take pen and ink, and Jia Yin and Cheng Shen were busy studying the ink and laying the paper, and after a while, the ink was already thick. The master picked up the big pen of Jingti and wrote with his wrist, but it was full and mellow four big characters: "Respect and sincerity".

After changing the paper, I wrote four big words: "Be cautious from the beginning to the end".

The master nodded with satisfaction, put down the brush, and said to Jia Yin: "Yin, respect." What is respect? Respect in the heart. Be a man with respect and sincerity, and be cautious and respectful at the end.

Your heart is not broken, the ambition to forge ahead has not been established, in the future, you can not do nothing, you must have the idea of starting a career;

nor can they march forward with courage and strife in vain. For the teacher, I gave you the word 'Yuan Jing', and I encouraged you to do it. ”

Jia Yin felt a hot current surging from his heart, couldn't help but burst into tears, couldn't say a word, gently broke free from his teacher's hand, took a step back and knelt down, and kowtowed three times.

Early the next morning, Jiayin carefully collected the ink treasure given by his teacher, wrapped it in three layers of oiled paper, hid it in his arms, said goodbye in front of the door of the master's room, and cherished each other.

Hurry up and whip up, all the way north.
