Chapter Eighty-Four: Time Comes and Turns
Chen Xiancheng walked into the South Park
Captain Han treats his teacher with courtesy
That day, after eating the two baked cakes that Fan Zuliang bought, he had some strength and returned to the foot shop. Lying on the bed, scenes of the past came to my heart.
The lonely village is still lit up in the morning, and there are people who read at night. This person's name is Chen Zhishan, born in a poor peasant family in Zhangzhou, Fujian, and his parents raised him with hard work, allowing him to concentrate on studying, with the good wish of "poor people are champions, and cattle are pulled in thatched houses". I hope that he will enter the rank and the first, jump out of the farm, and glorify his ancestors.
At the age of twenty-one, he was admitted to the Guozijian as a talent and became a student, and then every time he took the imperial examination, he entered the field to try his skills, but unfortunately he did not win. When he was thirty years old, he saw that his parents were old, and his wife and children also needed him to support them. I applied for a job as a private school teacher.
When the name is not obvious, the heart does not die, and then pick the light to read the article. Every year of Dabi, no matter where he is, he has to try his best to enter Beijing to catch the exam, but the luck is not good, and good things come late, and he was not admitted to the Jinshi until he was forty-nine years old.
After entering the officialdom, it was not all smooth sailing, and at the age of sixty, he was appointed as the Cheng of Guangguang County, Fujian. After the expiration of his term of office, he returned to Beijing to wait for the election of officials. But after a month in Kyoto, the reply from the officials was still cold.
When he heard that Han Yanxuan had really soared, he secretly rejoiced and came to the Han Mansion to visit the student back then. Unexpectedly, the guards of the Han government were strictly prohibited, and they were turned away several times when they asked to see him. Today, I wanted to enter the Han Mansion through the South Garden, but I was blocked by the guards outside the park.
Thinking of this, I couldn't help but sigh, there are people in the court who are good officials, you are a low-level official who is only from the eighth-rank official rank, at the feet of the Son of Heaven, you can be counted as old, who is a bad old man with a gray beard and a penniless name.
At noon, he walked out of the shop hungry and saw the shopkeeper hurrying back from outside. took the initiative to say hello, and Shopkeeper Wang looked up and looked: Chen Xianggong is out.
Chen Zhishan said helplessly: Go out for a walk. What is it about you that you are so happy about?
Shopkeeper Wang smiled and told him: I just came back from making tea for the Korean Gong. Recently, Han Yanzhou was crowned as a young master and a prince of Yuguo. He likes to drink the tea made by the shopkeeper Wang, and the shopkeeper goes to Hanfu twice a day at noon and evening to make tea for him.
Chen Zhishan couldn't help but be a little frustrated, people can freely enter and leave the Han Mansion just because they can make tea, I am his teacher, but I always eat behind closed doors. I couldn't help whispering: I'm still his teacher, and I won't even let the door in.
Shopkeeper Wang hurriedly asked what was going on, and Chen Zhishan told him the things before and after.
It was his second year as a private school in the capital, and on the recommendation of his teacher, he came to Han's house as a Xibin. From the style of the mansion to the decoration, this is a noble house, Chen Zhishan feels very glorious, teaching and teaching hard, and the Han Mansion is very satisfied with him.
At that time, Han Yanxuan was only seven or eight years old, just enlightened, Chen Zhishan was very concerned about him, teaching very patiently, Mrs. Han saw that he was a stable person, and good to her son, so she said to the young Han Yanxuan: Child, the teacher is doing his best for you, you will soar in the future, don't forget the teacher.
Three years later, Chen Zhishan left the Han family.
Shopkeeper Wang comforted him: Chen Xianggong, it is your blessing to have such an experience.
Chen Zhishan had no bottom in his heart, and asked worriedly:
Shopkeeper, you say, does this Korean guild recognize me?
As long as it is true and will recognize it, I know that Guogong misses the old and is very good to people.
But I can't even get into the yamen's mansion.
Don't worry, I'll find a free time and talk to the Korean public.
For a few days, there was no movement, and Chen Zhishan was disappointed. I was about to go to the shopkeeper Wang to ask. At this time, someone knocked on the door and saw that it was two people from the government.
The one who took the lead asked him: Is it Mr. Chen Zhishan?
Chen Zhishan nodded again and again: Chen Zhishan, the word is upright, and he is a member of Fujian Guangguang County.
The man told him: I am from the Korean government, and the national government will let you go to his house tomorrow, no, this is the token.
Chen Zhishan arrived at the gate of the Han Mansion on time, and was about to take out the token, when the gate suddenly opened, and the young man who was looking for him that day took the initiative to greet him: Lord Chen, please come in, and the country is waiting in the hall.
Walking through the courtyard, I saw that the hall was magnificent, luxuriously decorated, and Han Yanxuan was on the main seat, chatting and laughing with several high-ranking officials in purple gauze robes. He has always been a subordinate who has never seen this formation, and he can't help but be a little stunned. The young official waved his hand, Lord Chen, please.
Chen Zhishan walked into the hall tremblingly, and when he saw Han Yanxuan looking at him and smiling, he wanted to salute. Han Yanxuan stepped forward, supported him, and gave up his hands, the old master has always been good?
Chen Zhishan immediately felt flattered, okay, okay, I'll give it to you......
Han Yanxuan grabbed him and invited him to sit down in the seat of the guest of honor.
Just as he was about to speak, the butler came running and said:
Lord Guogong, the palace knows that he is about to arrive outside the gate of the palace with the holy decree.
Han Yanxuan suddenly reacted: What is it for, go and prepare.
Subsequently, he gave his hand to Chen Zhishan and all the guests:
Everyone, I'm sorry, sit here for a while, Han is out of company.
After a while, he led his wife and concubines and children out of the house in full costume and opened the main gate to welcome the holy messenger.
Guan Li got off the sedan chair and bowed to Han Yanxuan:
Lord Guogong has many happy events, and I will congratulate you in advance.
Han Yanxuan stepped forward and took Guan Li's hand:
I know that my lord is not allowed to rest on holidays, and Han is polite here.
The guest and host walked straight to the main hall of the front yard, which had been cleaned, set up the incense table, and laid the carpet. Han Yanxuan walked to the middle, burned incense with his hands, and crawled on the ground with his family.
Guan Li faced the crowd and read aloud:
Heaven and earth are yellow, and the country is Yongchang. Adhering to the gift of heaven, leading all the people of China, and the virtuous ministers with lofty ideals are endless. After Renzong, the Han family produced virtuous ministers and blessed our emperor Song. There are now Lieutenant Ma Du, Win Navy Cheng Xuan Envoy Han Gong Jiayan, Baoning Army Cheng Xuan Envoy Han Gongcheng is loyal to the country, hard-working royal affairs, special praise, enshrined Lieutenant Ma Du, Win Navy Cheng Xuan Han Gong Jiayan is the Win Navy Festival Envoy, Baoning Army Cheng Xuan Han Gongcheng is the Baosheng Army Festival Envoy.
The Han family kowtowed and shouted:
Long live the emperor, long live, long live.
Han Yanxuan took the holy decree and asked Guan Li to take a seat, and the housekeeper brought a thank you gift. Guan Li said:
Guogong, these five generations of festivals, your Han family is still the first in the Great Song Dynasty for hundreds of years, which is a great honor.
Thank you for the praise, such a great emperor's grace, my Han family is grateful, only loyal, loyal and dutiful, for the protection of the Song Dynasty and the liver and brain.
Returned to the East Courtyard and pulled Chen Zhishan:
Come, let me introduce you to you, this is Han's enlightenment teacher, Mr. Chen Zhishan, now serving in Guangguang County, Fujian, the old master is highly knowledgeable and extraordinary, but unfortunately, he has not been able to reuse.
Then he introduced other guests to him, what was the name, what the specific position, Chen Zhishan couldn't remember at all, only remembered that there were the right prime minister, participating in political affairs, the Privy Council envoy, the three envoys, the secretary of the ministry, the Ministry of Works, etc., all of which were high-ranking officials.
After a while, the guests said goodbye one by one, and only the teachers and students remained. Han Yanxuan knew that he had been down for many years, so he comforted him: Old master, don't worry, I will handle everything for you, and you will be satisfied. Then he called the butler and commanded: Take the car, go with the old master to the foot shop, settle the bill, and arrange a quiet place for him to stay.
Dizzy, sitting on the sedan chair of the Han Mansion and returning to the Di store to pack his luggage, Chen Zhishan came to his senses, and the experience of just half a day was like riding a roller coaster.
I was about to go to thank the shopkeeper, but the shopkeeper came.
