At the foot of the Lion Rock, Xu's School lectured for three consecutive days and rested for one day, and the day when Chen Caozhi and Liu Shangwei arrived coincided with the rest day, and Dr. Xu Zao went to the city to visit friends, so the grass hall was deserted.

Xu Miao and Chen Cao are the same age, Xu Miao was born in March, Chen Cao was born in November, Xu Miao has not yet participated in the appraisal collection, I heard Liu Shangzhi say that Chen Caozhi was promoted to the sixth grade by the free riding at the beginning of this month, although Xu Miao is cautious, after all, it is the heart of a young man, and the envy is beyond words, but there is no jealousy, he and Chen Caozhi talked to each other, and the more they talked, the more they talked, the more they agreed.

Xu Miao's family history, and Tianzi intelligent, although only fifteen years old, but the Confucian classics have been familiar with the classics, metaphysics is also quite rooted, and Chen Caozhi before because there are no books to read, no one to teach, in addition to reciting the "Analects", "Mao's poems", there is really no other outstanding talent, only in the past half a year to be able to read the collection of the first balcony Taoist Academy, and after Ge Hong's careful guidance, his studies have advanced by leaps and bounds, but Chen Caozhi is not greedy for more things, he only wants to read a book to be proficient in a book, will not be able to read a book, to the expo as a thingUp to now, the Confucian classics "Analects", "Mao's Poems", "Spring and Autumn Zuo's Biography" he can be said to be able to recite the volume, proficient in righteousness, "Zhou Yi" is just a beginner, metaphysics of "Laozi", "Zhuangzi" is basically recited, Ruan Ji, Wang Bi, He Yan to Lao Zhuang's wonderful understanding and play in the chest, but has not yet formed their own unique understanding, but in Xu Miao's view, Chen Caozhi's profound learning has made him admire, Confucianism he is above Chen Caozhi, metaphysics is quite inferior.

The two teenagers sympathized with each other, and they hated each other, but Liu Shangzhi sat aside and received a cold reception.

Words speculated, time flew by, and before I knew that it was noon, Xu Miao stayed with Chen Caozhi to eat, Liu Shangzhi naturally followed the light, and Laide, Ran Sheng and Liu Shang's two servants and one maid were also given by wheat cakes.

Xu Miao originally refused to accept the restraint of Chen and Liu, and Chen Caozhi said: "Brother Xianmin, the two of us really want to study under Lingzun, and if we don't restrain the courtesy, the two of us are uneasy." Xu Miao smiled and accepted it.

In the afternoon, Xu Miao and Chen Caozhi walked on the shore of Xiaojing Lake, Xiaojing Lake is not big, and it is only five miles around the lake.

Xu Miao asked Chen Caozhi to come early tomorrow so that he could introduce him to his father, and Chen Caozhi handed over Ge Hong's recommendation to Xu Miao and asked him to forward it to Dr. Xu.

Xu Zao returned at night, Xu Miao told his father that there were two new students today, and said that he had asked the question on behalf of his father, Xu Zao listened to his son to "those who know do not speak, those who speak do not know" to test the new student, frowned and said: "These two are poor students, why should Miao'er be so difficult for them!" ”

For some of the children of the scholar clan who came to study but were domineering, Xu Zao drafted some more difficult and remote answers, so that those high-minded scholars retreated in shame, and for the poor students, Xu Zao never asked questions from the Confucian classics, and did not involve metaphysics.

Xu Miao smiled and explained the answers one by one, Xu Zao was quite surprised that the fifteen-year-old Chen Zizhong could have such a talent, and suddenly remembered something and asked: "I heard that Qian Tang Chen has a genius, how can there be a Qian Tang Chen Zizhong?" ”

Xu Miao smiled and said: "Daddy, Chen Caozhi is Chen Zizhong, his name is heavy, the word is heavy, and there is a letter he left here, please take a look at it." ”

Xu Zao raised his eyebrows, the corners of his mouth hooked up an intriguing smile, and while reading the letter, he said: "Chen Caozhi's fame has reached the county, and he is still healthy before the full ceremony, passing through Wu County, and praised Chen Caozhi in front of Lu Zhijun, calling him 'a genius and a brilliant man'——"

Xu Miao praised his friend who was familiar at first sight today, and said: "According to his son's opinion, Chen Caozhi deserves this adverbial." But seeing his father Xu Zao's face condensed, he was surprised: "This is Mr. Zhichuan's letter, Mr. Zhichuan recommended Chen Caozhi to enter my door, I originally wanted to go to Mingsheng Lake next spring to visit Mr. Zhichuan, but I didn't think that he had returned to Luofu Mountain, Mr. Zhichuan did not easily recommend people, but in the letter to Chen Caozhi praised, so it seems that this Chen Chen Caozhi should be a person with both ability and political integrity." ”

Speaking of this, Xu Zao suddenly sneered and asked, "Miao'er, do you know what I entered the city today?" ”

Xu Miao saw that his father's face was strange, and shook his head and said he didn't know.

Xu Zao said: "Wujun Chenglang Zhenjian, invite me into the city for a drink, talk about Confucianism and Xuan, I think that Zhenjian is the most important door on weekdays, how can he invite me to drink alone?" Immediately vain and wronged, and Zhu Jian was really patient, and he didn't say his purpose until I was about to leave in the evening, and it was for this Chen Caozhi-"

Xu Miaoxi said: "Is it also to recommend Chen Caozhi to my father?" Zhen Neishi and Chen Caozhi are fellow villagers of Qian Tang. ”

Xu Zao said hesitantly: "It's a big mistake, not only is it not a recommendation, but I want me to try to humiliate Chen Caozhi in public and refuse him to enter the hall." ”

"Ahh Xu Miao was taken aback, and then said: "Daddy naturally sternly rejected Zhu Jian's unreasonable request, didn't he?" ”

Xu Zao said with a smile: "That Zhu Jian saw that I hesitated a little, so he smiled and said that I am really a talented person to be the doctor of the county, and the eight hundred stone county order is enough to be served, and the Zhu Jian also faintly signaled, if I don't listen to what he said, I am determined to accept Chen Cao's admission, and I am afraid that there will be many twists and turns in my son Xu Miao's entry into the product." ”

"Despicable and shameless!" The young man Xu Miao slammed his fist on the seat, his handsome face was swollen red, he felt greatly humiliated, and said loudly: "Daddy, even if I can't enter the product, I will never succumb to the obscenity of such a villain named Shi. ”

Xu Zao looked at his son approvingly, nodded and said: "My generation should have this integrity when reading the book of sages, and must not do that noble words and despicable deeds. ”

"Daddy!" The young man Xu Miao looked at his gray-haired father with reverence, and a kind of arrogance spontaneously arose in his heart, what about the high gate of the scholar clan? What about the Hanmen Shu clan!

Xu Zao said: "But at that time, I didn't refuse Zhen Jian, because Zhen Jian kept saying that Chen Caozhi's character was inferior, and he bewitched the patriarch of his clan to encroach on his brother's property, and even expelled his brother from the clan, without the righteousness of filial piety - I was skeptical, and said to Zhen Jian that if Chen Caozhi was really so unbearable, he would naturally not be allowed to enroll, and now that there is a letter of recommendation from Mr. Zhichuan, it is clear who is a gentleman and who is a villain. ”

Xu Miao said: "Daddy, the son of Zhu Jian, Zhen Wenbin, is also studying here, why don't you just drive Zhen Wenbin away, so that Chu Jian can see the awe-inspiring arrogance of the Xu family in Dongguan." ”

Xu Zao laughed at what his son said, and then his face was solemn, and he said: "The gentleman 'does not get angry, does not offend', and can't be angry with his son Yu Wenbin because of his frugality, and Miao Er, too rigid and easy to break, "Lao Tzu" cloud 'straight but not wanton, light but not dazzling', for the powerful, we don't flatter him, but we can't provoke him to show arrogance, that is enough to cause trouble, after all, we still have to survive." ”

Xu Miao also felt that he was naïve, Hao Yan bowed down and said, "Daddy has taught me a lesson, and my son has been taught." ”

Xu Zao looked at the dark night sky outside the cottage and said: "Chen Caozhi has provoked Qian Tang Zhen's family, I'm afraid that this school will be in trouble in the future, but there is nothing to worry about, what to do and how to do it." ”
