Chapter 2 Ignorance
Speaking of the Great Qi Dynasty, Yan Yuqiong couldn't help but be speechless for a while. The last dynasty of the Great Qi Dynasty was the Northern Song Dynasty in history. History seems to have branched off after the Jingkang Revolution in the Northern Song Dynasty. After Jin destroyed the Song Dynasty, the old Zhao family was served in a pot. Even Zhao Gou in Luoyang was killed by his subordinates, and there is no story of Baima crossing the river to establish the Southern Song Dynasty. The founding emperor of the Great Qi State, Qi Taizu Dalai was originally a butcher in the Daimyo Mansion, and later he couldn't live anymore, so he rose up and became the leader of a rebel army in the north against Jin. The difficulty of Jingkang, after the Jin Dynasty destroyed the Song Dynasty, held Huizong and Qinzong back to the north, and the Central Plains rose together, and there was a chaotic situation in the five dynasties and ten kingdoms. After 20 years of conquest, Taizu and Taizong of Qi finally unified the land south of the Yellow River, and even Qiongzhou and Jiaozhi. Finally, the capital of Jiangning Mansion (now Nanjing) was established, and the Great Qi State was established (of course, the name of Xiao Dalai was also changed to Xiaolong), and now it has been more than 50 years since the four emperors of Taizu, Taizong, Gaozong and Mingzong. During his fifteen-year reign, Gaozong stabilized the frontier with Jin in the north and the Western Xia Kingdom in the northwest with the Tongguan Pass of the Yellow River as the boundary. Five years ago, the forty-year-old Qi Gaozong died suddenly, and his third son, just 5-year-old Xiao Ying, succeeded to the throne as Mingzong, and changed the year name to Zhengyuan in the second year, and it is now the fifth year of Zhengyuan.
Song Zheng's place is called Songjiazhuang, which is a small village in Ju County, Mizhou (now Zhucheng, Shandong), with more than 80 families, with three surnames of Song, Qian and Zheng. Song Zheng's family is just an ordinary rich family, with a few long-term workers who farm the land, and two rough maids who serve clothes and eat. However, Song Zheng's ancestor Song Xiang is the patriarch of the Song surname and is quite prestigious. Song Zheng's father, Song Jue, has read poetry and books since he was a child, and he has been a jinshi and the chief bookkeeper of a county. However, because the emotional intelligence is not very high, I don't know how to be flexible, so my political performance is mediocre. In the official assessment, Song Jue was rated as inferior. As a result, Song Jue made the old mistake of traditional literati: he always felt that he had no talent. If we can't help the world, we will be alone, so Song Jue resigned and returned to Songjiazhuang.
When people have something they can't figure out, they tend to become paranoid. Song Jue is like this. He himself is more rigid, coupled with the profession of Confucianism, by the way, he carries it forward, pays attention to "the principles of heaven always exist, and all human desires are extinguished", and he wants to shape himself into a benchmark for Confucian disciples. It is unreasonable to be rated as an "inferior civil servant" while being so well educated! Song Jue, who had never been able to figure it out, became cynical and kept his face strained every day, as if everyone owed him money. Song Jue, who is less than forty years old, has a lot of gray hair and beard, and looks similar to his father Old Man Song, the grandfather and son are like brothers, but Old Man Song has a ruddy face and strong spirits.
After Song Jue was in Songjiazhuang, under the persuasion of the old man Song, he started a family study. After all, people have also been Jinshi, and they have also been officials, and they are still quite appealing in Shili Eight Village near Songjiazhuang. As soon as the ethnology opened, not only the children surnamed Qian and Zheng came to sign up, but even children from other villages also came, and more than 100 came at once. As a result, on the first day, three-quarters of the children were beaten and swollen palms, and Song Jue also changed two ring rulers.
Because Song Jue was ruthless, he was called "timely fighting" by the children, and Song Jiang, the "timely rain" of the previous dynasty, said - although they are all timely, this gap is not ordinarily large. Since then, the number of children in the family has been decreasing, and in the end, only a dozen and a half children remain. These thirteen or fourteen-year-old children, after all, have more eyes, as long as they honestly pass the class time, they can't control the "timely hitting" at other times. Even so, Song Jue maintained a high consumption rate of interrupting two ring rulers per month.
This year's 11-year-old Song Zheng grew up under the whip since he was a child, and studied hard every day, although his head was not cantilevered, he was also a "three-watch lamp and five-watch chicken", making his body look like a reed firewood stick, and it was a reed firewood stick that was eaten by insects. In addition to studying, Song Zheng can be regarded as mentally retarded. The six arts of Confucius, etiquette, music, archery, royalty, calligraphy, and mathematics, Song Zheng also knows a "book", and he can't even learn "etiquette", and the rest are even more incomprehensible. In today's terms, Song Zheng can be regarded as a hardcore nerd.
As the patriarch surnamed Song, Song Xiang saw that there was something wrong with his grandson. Although Mr. Song doesn't read much, he also knows the truth that "human affection is an article". So, he proposed to Song Jue that his grandson should also follow the family studies, let him get in touch with his peers, and learn a little basic human sophistication. Song Jue is not happy that his son will follow the clan study, what he talks about in the clan study is just to let the students memorize a few sentences of "Analects" and say a few thousand words, but his son is literate at the age of three, and after so many years, under his own stick education, the Four Books and Five Classics have long been proficient, and it is a waste of time to go. However, the father's fate is difficult to disobey, and what the old man said makes sense, so let the son follow. In this way, Song Zheng went to the family study.
Song Zheng went to clan school for two months, but he didn't learn much about the world, but he became the object of the boys' tricks. These boys were beaten hard by Song Jue, so they naturally poured their anger on Song Zheng. Of course, they didn't dare to fight, but a little tricking was inevitable. At first, the bad boys just made a caterpillar or something, and put it in their clothes along the neck of Song Nerd. Song Zheng had never seen this formation, and he was so frightened that he screamed on the spot, and had to perform a live strip show - the caterpillar got into it and stuck to his waist, and he couldn't find it without taking off his clothes.
Then, I don't know which bad boy got a handful of black mud from the muddy pond and drew a big turtle behind Song Zheng's back. Of course, two people hold it down and one person draws. Not only that, but he also drew a stroke on Song Zheng's white and tender face, as if he had grown two moustaches. Turtles have a special meaning in traditional Chinese culture, either referring to longevity or cuckolding. The turtle behind Song Zheng certainly does not mean "longevity". As soon as Song Zheng went home, he made Song Jue, who had always regarded himself as a moral article, angry enough.
Of course, that's not the end, these bad boys have a lot of ideas. Tie Song Zheng's hair to the table leg today, put a nail on the stool tomorrow, and toss a Song nerd very badly.
This beating also has something to do with these bad boys.
The clan is located behind the ancestral hall of the Song family, which is a large room, which was originally a place for the whole clan to gather and discuss things, but it was only used during the New Year's Festival. After Song Jue ran the clan school, he set up the school here. Anyway, during the New Year's holiday, it will not delay the major events in the clan. Song Jue taught for one hour in the morning and one hour in the afternoon. Song Zheng also followed his father's schedule. Half a stick of incense went out earlier than my father, and half a stick of incense came home in the evening.
It is said that on the afternoon of the previous day, Song Zheng had just entered the clan school, and a guy named Qian Manguan came up. This kid is the eldest grandson of Qian Youcai, the head of the Qian clan in Songjiazhuang, who looks like a hemp pole, thinner than Song Zheng, but he is a head taller, and his age is two years older than Song Zheng. Song Zheng was frightened when he saw him coming up, because this guy had the most bad ideas, and he was the leader of those bad boys. Qian Manji smiled and hugged Song Zheng's shoulders, and while walking towards Song Zheng's seat, he said in a crepe manner: "Song Gongzi, you are highly educated, I can't read the book here, so ask for advice or two." ”
Song Shu glanced at him in surprise and sat down in his seat without squeaking. Song Shudu, based on his experience, naturally knew that there was nothing good about it.
When Song Shu stayed in his seat, Qian Manbin took out a book from his arms, which was half smaller than the usual book. The cover is a blank sheet of paper, without a single word. Qian Manquan casually opened a page and asked, "I don't understand these words, can Song Gongzi introduce them to me." After speaking, he also made a respectful gesture, and his tone was extremely sincere.
Song Shudu's eyes were fixed, and he saw two big characters written on the right side: "Cicada attached." The small words on the back are: "Let the girl lie down and stretch her body straight ......" Song Shudud was uninformed and ignorant. It's also strange that Song Jue usually manages too hard and doesn't educate in this area at all, so that Song Shudu's mind is a mess, and he doesn't know what is in the book for a while. Just as Song Zheng was about to study it carefully, Qian Man's cabinet closed the book and said, "Your father is coming soon, you put the book away first, take it home and read it slowly, and tell me the next day when you understand it." Song Zheng was also sincere, so he put the book aside, took out "The Legend of the Spring and Autumn Ram" from his schoolbag, and began to read it.
When I came home from school in the afternoon, Qian Manquan once again told Song Zheng that he would study the book after he went home, and he would definitely tell him about it the next day. I wasn't teased by the bad boys today, and Song Zheng was still secretly glad to be happy. After listening to the advice of the cabinet full of money, he naturally did not dare to slack off. When he got home, he began to study it earnestly. It doesn't matter if you don't read it, he was shocked when he read it. For this "Su Nu Sutra" that he has never seen, even if he is confused, he understands what is going on in it.
The first page of the book is full of text, and the second page is illustrated, and despite the crudeness of the illustrations, he was frightened. Immediately put the book on the shelf. When he was reading at night, Song Zheng was distracted, and those words and pictures were constantly spinning in his mind, making Song Zheng confused for a while. His father, Song Jue, came to check his homework several times and asked him a few times, which made him sweat like rain. In the end, Song Jue also used his conventional weapon: the ring ruler. However, the effect is not obvious, and Song Zheng is still in a trance. Song Jue was extremely angry and was about to be tortured, when the ancestor Song Yu arrived, and only then did he save Song Nerd. The ancestor thought that his grandson was too tired from reading, so he let him rest early and for one night, but Song Jue was not easy to refute, so he had to reluctantly agree.
However, how could Song Zheng fall asleep, lying on the kang, those words and pictures were even more lifeless to drill into his brain. As soon as he closed his eyes, these words and pictures also turned into women, including the second girl next door, his sister Qian Xiaoying, who was full of money, and even the rough maid Huan Xiaoping, who often washed his clothes, rushed to him lifelessly, making him have to open his eyes vigorously. In fright, Song Zheng stayed awake all night, and when he read it the next morning, Song Zheng was even less energetic and entered a semi-stupid state, just reciting those chapters and sentences that he had already memorized over and over again: "Don't look at incivility, don't listen to incivility, don't speak incivility, and don't move incivility."
