The magistrate is going there, after all, he is the parent official.

Uncle Zhang, the county Cheng, would also have to go there, if it weren't for the carriages and horses he provided and Uncle Zhong and others (Li San's narrator: How did I become "waiting for others"?). It was impossible for the state exam to go so smoothly, and there was no chance to meet the Zeng brothers.

Mr. Liu needless to say. If it weren't for Mr. Liu, Fang Zhongyong would have to expose himself sooner or later just by copying some poems, and in the end he would inevitably end up "being out of the crowd".

As for Mr. Wu, hmph, Fang Zhongyong must "thank" him well. Otherwise, how can you be worthy of his "big mouth"?

When I go to meet the magistrate, I have to prepare a name post. Now Fang Zhongyong can be regarded as a person with status, although he has no fame yet, but who will be more serious about nine out of ten. Therefore, if you want to write a famous post, you can also name "late born so-and-so" at the end of the famous post.

The same look that is neither hot nor cold, and the same conversation that is neither salty nor light. Fang Zhongyong even wondered if the county magistrate had reached menopause. In fact, Fang Zhongyong thought too much, Lu Zhixian was also a Jinshi - although he was a fellow Jinshi, do you need to be enthusiastic about your quasi-showman?

Uncle Zhang Shi, the county lord, was much more enthusiastic, and even made Fang Zhongyong feel embarrassed. Uncle Zhang Shishu said affectionately: "Zhong Yong took the first place in the state examination this time, which really brings glory to me as a Jinxi person." No, it's a big drop. ”

Fang Zhongyong maintained his usual modesty: "It's just a fluke, it's just a fluke." Nothing! ”

The county is humane: "Don't be too modest!" Your talent, my uncle still knows it. By the way, Zhang Zhong and Li Sanke are still easy to use? But if they don't obey me, they will break their legs. ”

Fang Zhongyong hurriedly said: "Thanks to the two noble servants all the way, otherwise the little nephew's trip to Fuzhou will definitely not be so smooth." All this is due to my uncle's generosity, and it will be rewarded in the future! ”

The county lord got the answer he wanted, and he was very happy: "Haha, some small things, not worth mentioning!" If Panlong is here, I must have a drink with you? It's a pity that there are some problems in Hongzhou's business, so he went to deal with it, and Li Bin and Wang Qi also went with him. If it weren't for that, you brothers should have gone to Hongzhou to take the exam together. Since those two are still useful, let them send you to Hongzhou! ”

Fang Zhongyong thanked him again and again when he heard this, but he also felt a little disappointed. I thought I could go to Hongzhou with Zhang Panlong, but I didn't want that guy to transform into a flying "flyer". Forget it, let's go to Mr. Wu's house to "thank" him for his "great kindness"!

Mr. Wu was still as free and easy as ever, and when he saw that Fang Zhongyong didn't have the consciousness of being a thief at all, he just said happily: "My disciple of Wu Renli can also take the state test!" My arrogant nephew must have been upset, but I'm glad! With the three laughs of Yang Tian, he looked like he was underbeaten.

Fang Zhongyong looked at the proud gentleman with a lot of resentment, and said aggrievedly: "Sir, what kind of letter did you write to Lord Wang?" As a result, the young lady of the Wang family was quite resentful of me. ”

"It's nothing. Just complimented you a few words and asked him to take care of you as much as he could. ”

Regarding what Mr. Wu said, Fang Zhongyong didn't even believe in punctuation. Lord Wang not only took care of it, but took care of it so meticulously, not only sent his son's head out, but even planned to send his sister! I'm still a kid! Is it appropriate for you to prematurely corrode the flowers of the Motherland like this?

"What's wrong with it? When the old man was fourteen years old, there were two concubines in the family. You're almost fifteen this year, aren't you? ”

"Fifteen years old."

"That's it. You've seen my niece too, aren't you pretty? Gentle not? Knowledgeable? And Anshi is not a thing in the pool, and it is also a good thing for him to help each other in the court. With such a good fate, you actually pushed back and blocked, I don't know what to do! Mr. Wu was angry.

Is Wang Lingwei beautiful? Pretty. Knowledgeable? It should be fine. Is it gentle? This will have to be observed. But that Wang Anshi is not just a thing in the pool, it is simply "fighting to defeat the Buddha"! Our little arms and legs, can we help each other with him? Although I have had a few big red flowers (kindergarten period) in my previous life, and I also want to do something in this life, it is not the same as the brilliant achievements of Wang Jinggong (Wang Anshi Yuanfeng was named Jingguo Gong in the second year).

The most annoying thing is that Wang Anshi is ruthless to his enemies, as well as to himself and his relatives (excluding his son Wang Yanpa

g）。 Being ruthless to oneself is mainly manifested in not paying attention to one's diet and appearance, dirty clothes, messy hair, and sloppy appearance, and Wang Anshi's vices are well known. There are not many records of cruelty to his relatives, but there are a few poems that prove that he loves his children very much. But what Fang Zhongyong wants to say is that you are a prime minister, with an annual salary of 5 million and a big gold collar (legal income), who fools you with coarse tea and light food every day? To put it mildly, this is the "Zhao Dehan" in "In the Name of the People"!

But we can't use what others haven't done as a reason, doesn't that seem like we're too hypocritical? You have to find a reason that seems more plausible.

Fang Zhongyong thought for a while and found a reason (excuse): "Sir, do you know why there are so many babies in my Song Dynasty, and there are also many women with difficult births, and even both mothers and children die?" ”

This question is too professional for Mr. Wu to answer, nor is he willing to answer, because his sister married Wang Yi as a continuation after Wang Yi's ex-wife died in childbirth. He said coldly, "Why? ”

Fang Zhongyong replied: "There are three reasons. First, most of the mothers are young girls, and most of them marry and give birth at the age of thirteen or fourteen. Its skeleton is not completed, the essence is not full, and there is no reason that weak grass can breed millet is extremely dangerous when it is produced. Second, men are also young when they get married, although they can perform the rites of Zhou Gong, just as they can't raise strong seedlings in the grain. Third, nursing and nutrition can't keep up, so I won't go into details. ”

Mr. Wu's voice was even colder: "How did you know? Could it be that you have practiced the Buddha of Joy? ”

Fang Zhongyong said: "The miracle doctor Bian Que is good at taking down and pediatrics, and there are many medical records. Students occasionally dabble in, where do they need to practice the Buddha of Joy? ”

"Then, in your opinion, when is it appropriate for a man and a woman to marry?"

"Twenty for men and eighteen for women."

"Alright! The old man believes it for the time being, and he will explain it to the Wang family with good words. Let's not mention this matter for the time being, you go to see Liu Bida! ”

When he arrived at Mr. Liu's house, Mr. Liu said happily with a smile on his face: "Your wife said that you will definitely come today, and specially made your favorite braised pork waiting for you." The old man also made a bet with her that you would come tomorrow. I don't want you to be so diligent in your legs and feet, and cause the old man to lose ten cents. Zhongyong, you have to compensate me! ”

Fang Zhongyong joked: "Students are only worth ten wen, isn't it too cheap?" ”

Mr. Liu laughed: "You, you're getting more and more oily." Can this state test go well? ”

Fang Zhongyong bowed down and responded: "Fortunately, the disciple is not dishonored, the disciple is lucky to come back after taking the case exam, and he has not insulted the reputation of the master." Mr. Liu waved his hand and said: "Where does the old man have any reputation, this is all earned by your diligence and hard work, and you don't have to be too humble." But don't be complacent because of this, and underestimate the talents of the Quartet. When you continue to hone your knowledge, don't be disdainful! ”

Fang Zhongyong said yes, and his wife quipped: "Mr. Liu, the meal is ready, can you teach your senior apprentice a lesson after eating?" The two laughed.

During the banquet, Fang Zhongyong said sincerely: "The disciple dares to ask Mr. for the table. ”

Mr. Liu said: "Do you know the meaning of the table? ”

Fang Zhongyong nodded in understanding.

A name other than a name is a name that indicates virtue or the meaning of one's name. In ancient times, men were weak-crowned women and queens, so it was inconvenient to call them by their names. Therefore, another alias related to the meaning of the original name is called a character to express its virtue. Mortals salute each other, and they will call it the word of virtue. The latter word is called the table word.

In ancient times, due to the special emphasis on etiquette, the name and character were very particular. In interpersonal communication, the first name is generally used as a humble and humble title, or a title of upper to lower, long to less. Peers refer to each other by their names only if they are very familiar, and in most cases, it is considered rude to refer to each other or to be called by their first names. Between peers, calling each other is considered to be a sign of politeness. When writing letters or calling from the bottom to the top, the humble to the respectful can be called the word, but the name must not be named, especially the name of the monarch or his parents and elders, and he cannot even mention it, otherwise it is "great disrespect" or "great rebellion", so the "avoidance" system has been produced.

The ancients were very particular about taking table characters, and the situation was also very complicated, but careful investigation, analysis, and research also showed that there were rules to be found. For example, it is common to take words according to the order of the eldest and youngest of the brothers, such as Confucius ranks second, so the word Zhongni, he also has an eldest brother, the word Meng lame. The most typical is the four sons of Sun Jian during the Three Kingdoms: the eldest son Sun Cezi Bofu; the second son, Sun Quan, the word Zhongmou; Sun Yi is the third in line, and the word is uncle; Sun Kuang is the fourth, and the word is Ji Zuo.

There are also many cases where "Zi" is used in the table characters, because "Zi" was a good or honorific title for men in ancient times. So people like to use it, such as Kong Ling, the word Zisi; Zhong Yu, the word Zi Road; Sima Qian, the character is long; Cao Zhi, Zijian; Su Shi, Zizhan; Yuan Mei, the word is talented.

Although these table words are common, they have little to do with their real names, in fact, Bo (Meng) Zhong Shu Ji Hezi is not a real table word, and the words behind them such as "policy", "right", "thinking", "long", "beauty" and so on are the main components of the table words.

Since the table character is equivalent to a second name for the reader, at the right time, finding the right person and choosing an appropriate table character has an unusual meaning.

Although there is no clear definition of identity and status, if you take a table word if you "only know it", it will inevitably be like the Yuanqu "Duan Zheng, Shang Gao Jian Si, Rolling Hydrangea" in the "number from the simple is to pick silk shop, the word Jing is the first fish and carpenter, the opening of the food Hu Junbao, grinding noodles and Dengluo Di called Defu" The same as a smile and generosity. Fang Zhongyong is a quasi-talent at the moment, and it is not too much to take a table word. As for the age of less than the weak crown (twenty years old), five words drifted through the sky.

This right person is even more important. First of all, you must have enough talent to learn, otherwise the words taken are not enough to show the virtue of a gentleman, and it is inferior if you have no connection with the name. The second is to have a suitable identity, and it is suspected of flattery to ask someone who is not the teacher to take the word. Finally, there is status (some people think it is the most important), it is best to be a world-famous high-ranking official, and of course the emperor is the MAX. So that you can carry their banner, which is equivalent to a donkey with a certain mark on its ass.

Mr. Liu politely refused: "The old man has no official position, no reputation, and no talent. It's really not something that the old man can do to give you words. ”

Fang Zhongyong invited: "The disciple has received a lot of kindness from Mr. Meng, and he is like father and son. I also admired Mr.'s morality and articles. Please be sure to give me the following words. ”

Mr. Liu is still very satisfied with the disciple's knowledge: "In this way, the old man will be embarrassed." After thinking for a moment, Mr. Liu said: "Since your name is Zhongyong, your parents naturally hope that you will be healthy for a long time. As a teacher, I also hope that you can prosper in Wenyun, how about calling it 'Wenyuan'? ”

Far? Wenyun is long-term, and the characters of Zhang Liao of the Three Kingdoms and Zu Chongzhi of the Northern and Southern Dynasties are all Wenyuan. One article and one martial arts are very in line with Fang Zhongyong's expectations of himself.

Good words, good words!
