Chapter 286: Meeting the Great Confucian (Fifth Update)

Jiang Li was curious.

It stands to reason that an eleven-year-old boy likes to express himself, which is human nature. Even when he was Shen Xi's age, he hoped to be in the limelight and be affirmed by more people, so he could only understand that Shen Xi's chess skills had a certain gap with him, and he was not deliberately letting go of water.

Jiang Liwei secretly said in his heart: Win a fluke!

After the chess game, Su Tong, as the organizer, began the formal content of the meeting, first asked the store to put the tea, melons, fruits, and snacks together, and then Su Tong invited the guests to sit down.

Because only students participated, there were not many people who participated in this cultural meeting, and although there were six or seven tables on the second floor of the teahouse, many of the tables were not full.

Su Tong said with a smile: "Ladies and gentlemen, I heard that the famous Rulun Wenxu in Guangdong has returned to his hometown and province, and he will stay in my Tingzhou Mansion for a day today, and how about I go to visit in the afternoon?" ”

Lun Wenxu is a very famous Confucian in the Fujian and Guangdong generation, this person eight years ago, that is, in the second year of Hongzhi, after he was twenty-three years old, he had to be elected to study in the country.

During the Hongzhi period, there were three or four thousand students enrolled in Guozijian, but only one or two hundred students.

The gentlemen of the Taixue students are all Hanlin or Confucianism of the Beijing Normal University, and Lun Wenxu can enter the Taixue as a person, and he has a good chance to become a Hanlin in the future.

Shen Xi, who had watched the movie "Lun Wenxu Old Point Liu Xiankai" in his previous life, had carefully studied Lun Wenxu. Liu Xiankai belongs to the folklore figures, there is no evidence, and he is not a palace test list, but Lun Wenxu is really good, and another identity of this person is the prototype of the famous local snack "Champion and Porridge" in Guangdong.

If there is no change in history, two years later, that is, in the twelfth year of Hongzhi, Lun Wenxu will be the first in the middle school examination and the first in the palace examination, and he will be awarded the first prize in the Hanlin Academy.

Lun Wenshu has real talent and real learning!

To say that the 12-year examination of Hongzhi can be said to be full of talents, including Wang Shouren and Wang Yangming, who are masters of mental learning, and Zhu Zhishan, a great talent who has repeatedly tried and failed, and Tang Bohu, a great writer who has written a brilliant stroke in the history of the Ming Dynasty.

And it is this session of the exam. When it comes to the fraud case, Tang Bohu and Xu Jing were both removed, which doomed Tang Yin, a great genius of the Ming Dynasty, to be displaced for half of his life.

When everyone heard that they were going to discuss teaching with the world-famous Lun Wenxu, they all happily agreed with an attitude of learning. I want to hear what is useful to me.

In a remote place like Tingzhou Mansion, few famous Confucians visit, and if you miss the opportunity, you may regret it for the rest of your life.

Su Tong finally looked at Shen Xi and Jiang Liwei and asked, "Brother Shen." Brother Gu Yu, are you going together? ”

Jiang Liwei smiled and nodded, Shen Xi naturally would not give up this opportunity to meet historical celebrities, and he was stunned.

Lun Wenxu entered Fujian from Jiangxi, and then took a boat to follow Tingzhou south to Chaozhou and then returned to his hometown, and it was not until the afternoon that he would arrive at Tingzhou Mansion, only stay in Tingzhou Mansion for one night, and the next day would depart, the opportunity was really rare.

Shen Xi and Jiang Liwei both wanted to see if the famous Confucianism in this famous place of Fujian and Guangdong was really as knowledgeable as the legend said.

"Brother Gu Yan. I heard that you have been going back and forth to Nanjing a lot in the past two years, I don't know what to do? Su Tong asked suddenly.

Jiang Liwei laughed: "The Jiang family has now moved to Nanjing, and if they win the township test this year, they will not return to Fujian." ”

Su Tong nodded to show that he understood, but Shen Xi felt that Jiang Liwei's words flickered, as if he had deliberately concealed something.

After sitting for a short time, they went to the north gate of the city to greet them.

Just after noon, a convoy of three carriages appeared at the end of the official road, and when they reached the north gate, the carriage stopped. People came down one after another, and the elegant scribe who came down from the carriage in the middle was the most eye-catching, needless to say. This person is the object of greeting.

Lun Wenxu is now a person, although he is not an official, but because of his great reputation, he has someone to serve before and after the saddle.

The group hurriedly stepped forward to salute, and Shen Xi looked through the crowd and saw that this legendary celebrity was wearing a jade-colored shirt with wide sleeves and soft scarves. has a thin face, thick and thick eyebrows, a pair of bright eyes, the only slight deficiency is that the bridge of the nose is a little collapsed. Although it has just passed the year of its establishment, it seems to have been weathered and not angry and self-assured.

Because he went to Beijing to study, Lun Wenxu did not bring any relatives with him.

In these years, as long as you marry a wife and concubine, whether you are doing business or traveling to study, you usually don't bring your wife with you, even if you don't return after many years, you don't have to worry about your wife and concubine Hongxing going out of the wall, because that will take the huge risk of being immersed in the pig cage. Lun Wenxu is a great scholar, and his wife and concubine have to stay alone in their hometown and take care of their in-laws and children, which is no different from keeping a widow.

Lun Wenxu, like Shen Xi, was also from a poor family, and when he was young, he had to grow and sell vegetables to make a living because of his poor family, and he couldn't even eat lunch. Fortunately, my life has changed dramatically after the middle lift, and now I have a wife and a concubine.

Shen Xi knew that this person had a lot of children, and in the future, the eldest son would try to get Xie Yuan, the second son would try to get the Huiyuan and the apse, and the third son was also from a Jinshi. And Lun Wenxu itself is the Yuan, the champion, it can be said that it is "the father and son four yuan", cited as a good story, and even the Zhengde Emperor gave the jade decree to establish the archway, on the book "the first in the Central Plains".

Lun Wenxu was accustomed to the reception of government or local talents along the way, and he was not lazy in etiquette, although only a group of juniors came to greet him in front of him. But as long as there is a talent and fame, in Lun Wenxu's view, there is no difference between respect and inferiority, and it can be taken seriously with an attitude of learning.

Lun Wenxu took the scholar, surrounded by Su Tong and others, and arrived at the post house in the city, and when he settled down, he met with the local students.

"I've met Mr. Lun."

Among the students present, except for Shen Xi, the rest of them were not much different in age from Lun Wenxu, but everyone was very respectful to Lun Wenxu and treated him as a teacher.

Lun Wenxu replied: "Reading the books of the sages together, there is no teaching of knowledge below, and the name of this gentleman cannot be deserved." ”

Su Tong said respectfully: "Mr. Lun is a well-educated Confucian, and it is really a blessing for us to be able to discuss knowledge with Mr., or we can worship Mr. in the future." ”

On the way to the imperial examination, if the student is ordered by the main examiner and can enter the school, he must be treated with the courtesy of the teacher. Su Tong means that you will definitely enter the court as an official in the future, and you may also take the local township examination or the general examination, and we may become your students.

Lun Wenxu smiled, and did not say anything, please sit down with those present.

The Tingzhou Mansion Post House is a little narrow, and there are not many tables and chairs. And Su Tong and his entourage, who had already heard the news, now have forty or fifty people, and they can't sit at the same time.

Su Tong thought of a way to let Zhike bring a lot of straw mats and let everyone sit on the straw mats. Sit down with Lun Wenxu and talk about it.

Lun Wenxu didn't put on a stand, took off his shoes and sat on the straw mat, facing the small square table, and began to exchange knowledge with everyone.

It is a very honorable thing to be able to sit and discuss with the Great Confucianism in this era. One by one, they all rushed to sit in the front. Shen Xi was small and was squeezed aside, so he had to sit in the last position and sit down cross-legged in a similar way, but unfortunately even if he straightened his neck, he couldn't see Lun Wenxu's appearance, but he heard Lun Wenxu's views on some studies clearly.

In Lun Wenxu's view, it is necessary to be lenient in learning and apply what has been learned, which is the correct attitude towards learning, and cannot be used for empty learning. It is necessary to put the knowledge into practice.

The argument was very old, but after all, it was the words of the Great Confucian, and the Xiucai present listened extremely carefully.

Su Tong seemed to be a good student who listened carefully, and asked if he didn't understand: "Mr. Lun, this kind of learning can rarely be used in practice. Let's just say that these "Four Books" and "Five Classics", how should we learn to make good use of them? ”

Lun Wenxu said with a smile: "Only by learning to cultivate oneself can we unite the family, govern the country, and level the world, so why is it useless to talk about it......"

Lun Wen talked eloquently, although it was a slightly empty truth. But some of the truth is true.

Shen Xi listened to this point of view, which seemed to be somewhat contrary to the concept of science, learning is used to cultivate Qi Zhiping, which is not much different from the highest standard advocated by Xinxue, "to conscience".

After Lun Wenshu finished speaking, the students present looked thoughtful. It's like hearing a wise saying.

Shen Xi thought to himself: "Even the great Confucians of Taixue, after a long period of edification, will also produce some concepts of mind, which can be regarded as a kind of review and reflection of science in the academic world. But why is there so much criticism for my article? Lun Wen recounted this pass, but was respected by these Confucian scholars? ”

Lun Wenxu did. It is no longer a matter of sitting and talking, but lecturing. He spoke alone, others came to listen, and everyone listened to it happily, but in fact, few could really understand it, because Lun Wenshu said that in the back, many of them directly used classical Chinese, and the scriptures cited were very profound, many people did not dabble in it, and could only listen to a general idea, but everyone still pretended to be happy to be taught with an open mind.

After a lecture was over, everyone got up to say goodbye, and at this time Lun Wenxu found Shen Xi in the crowd who was still childish.

"Who is this?"

Lun Wenxu looked at Shen Xi in surprise, so many people were sitting and talking just now, he didn't even notice that there was a child like Shen Xi mixed in.

Su Tong said with a smile: "I forgot to introduce Mr. Lun, this is the second place in this year's Tingzhou Prefecture Examination, and his ancestral home is Shen Xi in Ninghua County, Tingzhou." ”

Shen Xi saluted respectfully: "The student is polite." ”

Lun Wenxu's eyes widened, and he was a little incredulous for a while. Su Tong explained with a smile: "Shen Gongzi, he is eleven years old now, and he won the first case in the government examination last year, and he is very famous in my Tingzhou Mansion. He once wrote the poem "The edge of the sword is sharpened from the sharpening, and the fragrance of plum blossoms comes from the bitter cold" at the examination field, which was recited by local scholars. ”

"Oh. It's a great verse. ”

Lun Wenxu nodded, but he was a little disapproving. Although he had never heard this half of the poem in Jingshi, he intuitively thought that such a philosophical poem could never come from the hands of a child, and someone must do it for him. He smiled reluctantly and said admonishingly, "This son will do something when he becomes an adult." ”

Originally, it was just a polite word, but Shen Xi saluted respectfully: "Mr. Lun, if students want to do something, why wait until they become adults?" Students will take the Township Examination next year, and if all goes well, they will be able to compete with their husbands in the next year's General Examination. ”

Shen Xi said these "unashamed" words, which made the Xiucai present quite annoyed, and scolded one after another, and remarks such as "not self-sufficient" and "grasshopper shaking the tree" were endless. But Lun Wenxu looked very personable: "That's a blessing in the next." ”

Although Lun Wenxu seems generous, he still has some nostalgia in his heart, but in front of so many future generations, he is not good at attacking.

Shen Xi saw Lun Wenxu's contempt for him before, so he would have some bold words later. He expected that Lun Wenxu was a famous Confucian, and he couldn't afford to deal with him as a child.

Because of Shen Xi's words, this visit to the famous Confucian was scribbledly ended, and in the end, Lun Wenxu just asked the scholar to send everyone out, and when he got outside, there were still people scolding and scolding, thinking that Shen Xi was abrupt and rude, so he attracted Lun Wenxu to give him a cold reception. Even Su Tong reminded Shen Xi: "Brother Shen, the next time you encounter such an occasion, it is better to talk as little as possible." ”

Shen Xi pretended to be puzzled: "Mr. Lun is a famous Confucian, isn't it okay for me to have ambition?" ”

Su Tong was dumbfounded by the question.

Shen Xi just said his ambition in front of Lun Wenxu, looking forward to taking the same exam as Lun Wenxu, which is actually not without purpose.

Although it is much more difficult to lift people than Zhongxiucai, after all, Shen Xi has a great chance to participate in next year's township test, if Shen Xi really wins the promotion next year, his words are no longer lies, but a completely predictable reality.

Who called you Lun Wenxu talented and learned, praised as a great Confucian, and he didn't get into the Jinshi when he was old?

Jiang Liwei, who had been silent next to him, clapped his hands and smiled: "Shen Gongzi's words are really a relief for me and other scholars, he is only a person at best, if I wait for the next year, I am not allowed to wait for the same examination with him?" ”
