Chapter Seventy-Seven: The Teachings of the Sages, Do They Do Not Count?
Buzheng Fang, Shangshu Mansion.
The gatehouse is tall and majestic, and the momentum is extraordinary.
This is an official residence, given by the Son of Heaven.
It's just that, unlike the Lord of the Lords, the Lord Mansion can be passed down from generation to generation.
However, after the civil official gave the house, after the official was given, he wanted to "return Lu to the king", but it was to be taken back by the Ministry of Internal Affairs......
At about two o'clock, Jia Cong and his entourage arrived in front of Shangshu Mansion.
After getting out of the carriage, Song Yan's grandson Song Hua and his cousin Wu Fan were waiting at the gate of the West Corner.
The main gate of Shangshu Mansion is the same as the main gate of Guogong Mansion, except for the day of the big festival to welcome guests, or when the palace will be opened, and it will not be opened.
"Little Uncle An."
Although it was awkward to salute a young man who was half younger than himself, the Song family passed on the family with a courtesy, and Song Hua didn't dare to discount it, so after seeing Jia Cong get out of the car, he hurriedly took Wu Fan forward to salute.
Jia Cong smiled: "Although the etiquette cannot be abolished, I am young after all. Once you've decided on your seniority, you don't have to do it every time. Etiquette is more important than the heart, not in the action. ”
When Song Hua heard this, he smiled bitterly: "Although this is the case, what should I do, I still have to consult my grandfather." ”
Jia Cong nodded and said, "Okay, I'll talk to Master when I go back." Let's go in, I'll see Master and Master first. ”
"Yes."
……
"Disciple Jia Cong, please Mr. An, please Shi Niang'an."
Shangshu Mansion, in the Song Quinoa Zhao Hall, Jia Cong paid a big salute.
In the hall, Song Yan and his wife Wu sat on the top seat.
Song Yan's face was indifferent, but there was a smile in his eyes, but his eyes swept over the upper right corner of Jia Cong's forehead, and when he saw the faint red mark, a trace of anger flashed in his eyes.
The Wu family was not so particular, with a kind smile on his face, he looked at Jia Cong and said, "Hurry up...... Ouch! How did this child come to life so well? Come on, come on, come on......"
After calling Jia Cong to his side one after another, he took his hand and looked up and down, the more he looked at it, the more he liked it.
Jia Cong felt a little embarrassed, he originally thought that the Wu family, who was born in a big family of science, should also have the atmosphere of "saving heavenly principles and destroying people's desires" everywhere, and she was an old-fashioned old lady.
Who knew that she was like an ordinary old lady, so kind and kind......
It's really unexpected.
However, if Jia Cong is really just a ten-year-old boy, that's all.
But he was mentally mature, and he was pulled by an old grandmother to praise his beauty...... It's really uncomfortable.
It's just that his unnaturalness has become a child's shyness in Wu's eyes, and he remembers what his husband told him about Jia Cong's life experience and experience, and he becomes more and more pityful.
Song Yan saw Jia Cong's discomfort, coughed dryly, and said, "Okay, Cong'er will come often in the future, and when you care, don't forget your master's etiquette." ”
When Wu heard this, he hurriedly took a gift box from the hand of the maid behind him and gave him an apprenticeship.
Jia Cong took it, guessed that it was a pen, and thanked Wu with a smile.
After the ceremony, Song Yan drove people away: "Go and let the kitchen prepare, and stay at the house to eat today." ”
After Wu looked at Jia Cong again and again, Fang turned around and left.
After the Wu family left, Song Yan said to Jia Cong: "You are wondering, why is your master so rude?" ”
Jia Cong was startled when he heard this, and hurriedly said, "How dare the disciple think like this? The master treats the disciples kindly and lovingly, and the disciples are only moved in their hearts, how dare they be disrespectful? ”
Song Yan bowed slightly, and said: "When the teacher was young, his family was poor, but it was your master's mother's family, although it was only for an inconspicuous squire family, but he had little wealth.
The silver that was used to catch the exam for the teacher back then was all the silver that your teacher quietly saved.
On weekdays, I also take a lot of photos and give food and clothing.
If it weren't for this, there would be no teacher today.
Even now, your sister is still as kind as she was back then.
When she found out about your situation, she was very distressed.
Your two senior brothers have been strictly disciplined since childhood, and Zihou has only returned to Beijing in the thirteenth and fourteenth years.
Therefore, she treats you like a parent and grandson. ”
can say these words in the court, Jia Cong can see that he, the teacher and the teacher, are really in deep love.
And Song Yan and Wu really regarded him as a family......
Jia Cong knows that this is by no means an exaggeration, in this era of being close to the teacher, after the name of the teacher and student is determined, it is a family.
It is a kind of inheritance relationship that is not inferior to blood and family affection.
Therefore, he understands the closeness of the Wu family, and the only doubt is why Kong Chuanzhen and Song Yan love him so much......
It's just that he can't ask directly about this doubt.
To have doubts about the act of respect and kindness is to act in disobedience.
Besides, this is not the time to think about this......
Jia Cong was moved, and bowed again: "The disciple is very grateful for the love and protection of Mr. and Master. In the future, I will be diligent in my studies, live up to the expectations of my teacher, serve my teacher with filial piety, and live up to my master's love. ”
Song Yan bowed his head and said, "Get up, it's good to have this ambition." You are still young, although you must be diligent in studying, but you must not work too hard, otherwise it will be bad if you hurt your body. ”
After Jia Cong got up, he responded: "Yes, the disciple remembers." ”
Song Yan pointed to Song Hua below and said, "This is your nephew Hou, you have seen it." In the future, I went to the Guozijian and went to the teacher's house once every three days, and Zihou could teach you the articles of the scriptures.
Although his seniority is lower than you, after all, he has studied for a few years first, which is enough to teach you. ”
Jia Cong had nothing to do, but he was suspicious: "Sir, does the Guozijian allow the children to go out of prison once every three days?" ”
Song Yan explained: "The inner house of the Guozi Prison is divided into the outer house, the inner house and the upper house. The outer house is divided into Guozixue, Taixue, Guangwen Pavilion and Simen Pavilion.
Guozi Xuexue is in charge of teaching more than three grades, and the descendants of Guogong, the number of people in this school is the smallest, but the doctors, teaching assistants, direct lectures and even Zhaifu are all of the highest grade and the highest level.
But it's a pity that the children of the powerful are too much.
The imperial court is equipped with such good conditions, and it is not rare to be promoted from the national school to the inner house, but it has never been there.
It's more than a bastard who is messing around, and the Guozi Prison has long given up hope for them, so the discipline is relaxed.
Cong'er, as a descendant of the Guogong Mansion, even if you use the shade quota of the Shangshu Mansion, you also want to enter the Guozi School.
When the time comes, don't learn from those bastards. ”
Hearing Song Yan's words, Jia Cong said in his heart, Jia Rong over there in Ningfu, Bacheng is such a good thing, and hurriedly replied: "The disciple remembers the words of Mr., and he will be clean......
raised his eyes to look, but saw that Song Yan was not looking at him, but Wu Fan sitting below.
Deng Shi understood that Wu Fan, who was covered with cold sweat, was also a difficult learner.
Seeing his small eyes dripping and turning, showing his weakness, he forcibly pretended that Song Yan said that it was not him, Jia Cong knew that this kid was by no means a fuel-efficient lamp.
It's strange that Song Yan asked him to come to Shangshu Mansion every three days, because he was afraid that he would learn badly.
Xu was prescient of the Wu family, and after a while, he sent someone to call Wu Fan away......
In the face of his wife's doting behavior, Song Yan couldn't help it, so he had to say to Jia Cong: "How are you living in Jiafu recently?" ”
Jia Cong responded: "The disciple's life is very good, and the uncles and aunts are very loving and caring. ”
Song Yan glanced at the wound on Jia Cong's forehead again, and snorted coldly, but it was just about Jia Yu, and it was not good to say much.
In the face of Song Yan's undisguised care, Jia Cong was really curious.
Based on his understanding from Jia Zheng, Song Yan is by no means such a person.
The name of the great Confucian of science, how can it be ridiculous?
Just from Song Hua's tutor, you can see that it is extraordinary......
And why is it so special to him?
Don't talk about him, even Song Hua below, was faintly shocked.
It's just that Song Yan didn't say much, and no one dared to ask more.
After taking the school exam again, Song Yan praised Jia Cong again, praising him for his solid homework and sincere attitude.
To know is to know, and not to know is not to know.
There is no deception or deception.
and then analyzed Jia Cong's incomprehension in simple terms.
Now, Song Hua's face below is even more strange......
Because in the Song family, it is appropriate to do well in schoolwork, and if you do not study well, you will be beaten and scolded.
How have you ever seen someone who hasn't even understood the "Four Books" and will be praised like this?
He is the eldest son and eldest grandson, and he is loved by his grandmother Wu, but there are incomprehensible difficulties in schoolwork, and Song Yan only tells which book to solve it from, and will never directly tell the answer.
Song Hua was completely confused for a while, and couldn't figure out why his grandfather loved this little uncle so much.
After a few conversations, Jia Cong asked about the difficulties in his studies in recent days, and probably gained a lot of money, and thanked Song Yan again.
And Song Yan was also very happy to see him so studious.
I didn't see the eldest grandson below, I almost vomited blood, and then asked, "Do you have any other doubts?" Not only academically, but also can ask each other. ”
Hearing this, Jia Cong didn't say anything polite, thought about it, and said, "There is one thing, I really want to ask my teacher to solve my doubts." ”
As he spoke, he took out the stack of "paper-like papers" from his sleeve pocket and handed it to Song Yan.
Then he told the story in an orderly manner.
In the end, he roughly talked about how he and Ni Er's family got acquainted: "That day in the alley of Nanbazai, I saw Ni Er being injured, so I stepped forward to help, so I got acquainted."
Just because of this help, when the disciples were not allowed to eat at Jia's house, Aunt Ni learned about it and sent food to Jia's house every day.
Although he was deceived by the porter and never sent it to his disciples, this kind of kindness is not shallow. ”
After Song Yan flipped through a few papers, his face became solemn, and he said in a deep voice: "What does Cong'er think about this matter?" ”
Jia Cong thought about it for a while, and said with a puzzled face: "What the disciple is puzzled about, that Lin Cheng's world is Zhao Liangyi, who is clearly a disciple of a famous sect, and if he can be admitted to the examination, he must read the scriptures and righteousness of the sage."
However, as a son of a saint, why would he act so shamelessly?
Where did he read his sages?
There is also the son of the Shilang Mansion, who uses the rich gambling stall as the door to collect money, and does everything he can, causing countless families to die.
But relying on the power of the Shilang Mansion, the people had no way to declare.
Whether it is that Li Shilang or the prefect of Jingzhao Chang'an Mansion, they are all dignified scholars and have been taught by sages.
It's just that even the disciples and other children who are just learning the words of the sage know it: the character of the object is then known, the knowledge is followed by sincerity, the sincerity is followed by the heart, the heart is righteous and then the body is cultivated, the body is cultivated and then the family is together, the family is united and then the country is governed, and the country is governed and then the world is peaceful.
Don't they know the truth of righteousness, self-cultivation, and family unity?
The disciples thought that they would have known, but they did not do it.
So what the disciples wonder is, the teachings of the saints, do they count or not?
If they do, why don't they do it, but they can live in the temple?
What's the use of learning if you don't count? ”
As soon as these remarks came out, the two descendants of Song Yan and Song Hua, Huo Ran's color changed!
