Chapter 34: Attack on the Yan Family
The few people here knew that the new emperor Liu Che was a person who loved to read, and what he liked was Confucianism. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info
And now, the real one in power is actually the Empress Dowager Dou. This Empress Dowager Dou is an admirer of the Taoist Lao Zhuang doctrine. Therefore, the current court is clearly a dispute between Confucianism and Taoism.
Secretly, it is a contest between the imperial power and the rear power.
Yan Ming also felt that he could talk to Zhao Juan and Wang Zang, so he said a few more words, wanting to save the lives of the two.
Seeing the state of the two people, Yan Ming knew that these two people had been carried away by the emperor's favor.
"Haha, the little brother has said a lot, let's only eat hot pot, talk about Fengyue, and don't talk about state affairs." Yan Ming snorted and put a plate of green vegetables into the boiling hot pot.
The base of the mutton is paired with the aroma of green vegetables, which opens people's taste buds.
A few people ate hot pot without distraction.
"Is this hot pot still delicious?" Yan Ming asked with a smile.
Except for Dongfang Shuo who nodded, Sima Xiangru and Zhao Juan and Wang Zang ignored Yan Ming, they were all savoring the taste of this hot pot.
"If you want me to say, this hot pot is not just about meat. The soup also needs to be good, as well as the dipping sauce. If the three products are good, they are really good. Zhao Juan said.
Yan Ming nodded, Zhao Juan and Wang Zang gave him a really good feeling.
"A few, since you are here, you will be in my Yan house for a few days. If they don't give up and teach the students of Hongyantang, it will be their great creation. Yan Ming said with a smile.
Several people are considered to be contemporary university scholars, let them give lectures, as long as they do not involve professional things, just the humanities, it will be wonderful.
Several people hesitated.
Yan Ming glanced at them and smiled secretly in his heart.
These people are all figures in the court, and they think very highly of themselves. It is indeed difficult for them to give lectures in rural primary schools now.
"The last time Brother Dongfang gave a lecture here, it was all the people in Maoling who were sitting in front of my Yan family's compound, and even the walls were full of people." Yan Ming said with some exaggeration.
"Since Brother Dongfang finished his lecture last time, many people have said that they can listen to Dongfang Shuo's class once, and they have no regrets in this life. Some people even say that Mr. Dongfang's class is from shallow to deep, and there is no second in the world. Yan Ming continued.
Yan Ming knows that there is no first truth in ancient texts. He said this in order to arouse the dissatisfaction of several people. It's a little bit of a trace, but it's the best way to do it.
Several people are smart people and also know Yan Ming's intentions.
But literati are like this, sometimes they know the other party's intentions, but they just want to have a try.
"I've been waiting in the court for a long time, but I also want to relax. I'm afraid that I will insult the reputation of Hongyantang. Wang Zang, who doesn't like to talk the most, is the strongest to win.
Looking at Zhao Juan and Sima Xiangru again, they also looked eager to try, Yan Ming smiled slightly, but he was not in a hurry, and said: "Wang Yushi said politely, if you don't dislike Hongyantang is too small, then Yan Ming can't ask for it." But—"
Several people were slightly stunned and looked at Yan Ming.
"But it's nothing, it's just that today it's Brother Dongfang's class. You may have to wait until tomorrow to get back on it, I wonder if it's okay? Yan Ming asked cautiously.
When the three of them heard this, their faces were overjoyed.
They have not heard of Dongfang Shuo's talent name, and they are even more common in changing talents. Now if you want to compare with Dongfang Shuo, it is the safest to listen to Dongfang Shuo's class first.
Several people arranged their own classes, but Yan Ming said goodbye.
He called Yan San and said: "You go and talk to the people in the village, Hongyantang invited Sima Xiangru, Zhao Xuan, and Wang Zang to teach, if you want to listen to it quickly, there will be no such shop in this village." ”
Yan San nodded hurriedly and trotted out of Yan's house.
Now, Yan San's most admired is Yan Ming. He has been with Yan Ming since he was a child, but he can't figure out how such a young master who doesn't learn and doesn't know how to do anything overnight? I don't understand why the young master has inexplicably befriended this group of dignitaries.
When the people of Maolingtun heard that Dongfang Shuo came to give a lecture again, and Sima Xiangru, Zhao Xuan, Wang Zang and others came, the whole Maoling was boiling.
This time, even the villages adjacent to Maoling Township heard the rumors.
"Hongyantang has come to give lectures, this is a good opportunity."
"Be sure to listen to it. I heard that the young master of the Yan family is amazing. I didn't expect to be able to invite such a character! ”
In the afternoon, when Dongfang Shuo was about to start lecturing, the Yan family's compound was crowded with people, and this time, not only the residents of Maolingtun, but even several small tuns in the neighborhood.
A group of children in the front row were students who had arrived from the tunzi next door.
The children of Maolingtun proudly walked out of the west wing of the Yan family, each carrying a stool in their hands, and walked out neatly, sitting on both sides in rows, looking orderly.
Just the temperament shown by the children of Maoling is different from other villages.
Some villagers look at other people's children, and then look at their own children, and their hearts are unbalanced.
Yan Ming is very satisfied with the education of the children during this period of time.
Especially under Yan Ping's teaching, the children have a feeling of being a little soldier, and their postures are straight. Even the slightly chubby Xiaocui, after two months of study, has become thinner, and her complexion has become more and more beautiful and handsome.
When the two members of the Hu family saw Xiaocui, they scolded Hu Er, who didn't know where to run, for being blind.
Dongfang Shuo's class was sorted out after a month.
This time, what he explained to the children was still all kinds of allusions left by the ancient sages, combined with the central idea of the disciple rules, and he actually sorted out his own style.
Inside and outside the Yan family's compound, more and more people gathered.
This time, the courtyard wall of their house was really hit by Yan Ming's unfortunate words, and many people climbed up.
Mr. Huang was still sitting with the students, listening to Dongfang Shuo's lectures, and he looked like a serious elementary school student.
Seeing this momentum, Sima Xiangru and Zhao Juan and Wang Zang glanced at each other, and they both showed great interest.
Dongfang Shuo's class was so successful that many people lingered.
On the spot, there were a few children from the next village who wanted to be sent to Yanming's Hongyan Hall to be students. There are also some orders for the tables, chairs and stools of the Yan family.
Of course, Yan Ming did not provide free services for children from other villages who signed up to study. But after accounting, food, clothing, housing and transportation are all in the Yan family, and each child is charged fifty copper dollars per month according to the cost.
In the two villages next door, a few wealthy families sent a total of six children. That's the income of three hundred copper coins. After all, it is only enough to give Mr. Huang a monthly example.
That's it, Mr. Huang is already very satisfied.
Tables, chairs and furniture, Yan Ming did not ask for a sky-high price, but on the basis of the cost, it was good to earn the labor costs of Old Man Lu and others.
The reputation of the Yan family, in the entire Maoling area, has reached a new height. Yan Ming's name also spread further afield.
