Chapter 20: Envy, Jealousy, and Hate
said that it was a compliment, but in fact, after Wang Fulin finished the burden, he was really impatient with the scene of the students gathering together, and there were still many people who did not show their faces in poetry, so he deliberately delayed for a while before returning. However, when he went back, what made him dumbfounded was that although a large number of Xiucai had not dispersed, the carriage and entourage of the great master Xie Tingjie were gone!
What's going on?
Wang Fulin thought that he might have missed the key event of seeing off Xie Tingjie, and he had to immediately reflect deeply. He knew very well that he still didn't have the right mentality. I didn't deeply realize that this was in the Ming Dynasty, which was humble and orderly, not in the era when there was an invisible class but there was no need to pay attention to so much etiquette. But walking in the crowd, he noticed that something was wrong, whether it was the students of She County or the students of the other five counties of Huizhou Prefecture, looking at him, there was no schadenfreude and ridicule, but a little inexplicable complex feelings.
No, he just left for such a short time by urinating, what happened to him?
He was the most familiar with Cheng Kui and the other four today, and soon found these four, but saw Qiu Feng standing beside them, with a more subtle expression on his face than those just now. Faced with this scene, he simply let it go, strode forward and arched his hand to Cheng Kui and said, "Brother Cheng, is the great grandmaster already gone?" β
Wang Fulin was going to start with these words, but as soon as the words fell, he saw that the four of them were all staring at him, and the sharp Cheng dΓΉ was completely different from the joke before.
Seeing his confused appearance, the eldest Zhu Chaopin finally let out a long breath and said, "It seems that Brother Wang Xian is really going out of courtesy, not with the intention of doing so." β
"Intentionally planting flowers and flowers do not bloom, and unintentionally planting willows and willows into the shade." Cheng Kui seemed to have figured it out, and showed a smile at the moment, "Our farewell poems are all made for the occasion, and the great grandmaster has nothing to feel when he listens to it, which is also natural." Therefore, as soon as the virtuous brother 'talented people from all over the country and mountains come out, each leading the way for hundreds of years', the natural poem shocked the audience, and the great master laughed three times, and immediately set off back to Nanjing. β
Qiu Feng saw Wang Fulin looking sideways at him, the expression on his face was even more shocked than those students before, he could only explain stubbornly: "When the junior official left, Cheng Xianggong and the great grandmaster came over, saying that the great grandmaster had summoned the junior official, and the villain had to come forward to see the great grandmaster. Hearing the words of the other five county students being very ugly, the villain couldn't help it, so he recited the poem made by the little official in front of the great grandmaster. β
For such a coincidence, Wang Fulin couldn't help but pat his forehead lightly. He only remembered that in this era, it seemed to be the era when the seven sons were active, and there were still a few famous poets in the Xin'an Poetry School, Gong'an Sanyuan, and the Qing Dynasty, and as for what poems they had done, he remembered that he was a little confused. You know, he is not a liberal arts student, Tang and Song Dynasty celebrities remember a lot, among the celebrities of the Ming and Qing dynasties, he can really memorize the famous sentences, and there are really not many who can match the author's year, this time even God is helping him! Otherwise, just by poking out the Lou Zi who missed the Great Grandmaster today, he wouldn't know how to go back and see Master Cheng who kindly reminded him!
There are talented people from generation to generation, each leading the way for hundreds of years! As soon as these two sentences come out, they are really a great killer!
However, when he saw that the Wu brothers were eager to try, many people in the distance looked envious, jealous and hateful, as if they had the posture of coming up to compete, and he couldn't help but have a headache when he thought that there might be countless invitations from the Wenhui Poetry Society in the future.
Zhu Chaopin saw that Wang Fulin's face was uncertain, so he smiled and said: "Actually, it was the great grandmaster who asked about Ling Lang Jinbao as soon as he opened his mouth, and learned that he practiced calligraphy at home, and praised you twice. β
It turned out that Jinbao had already been registered in front of Xie Tingjie!
Wang Fulin was happier at this time than when he casually chanted a big killer, and then said with a smile: "Ha, everyone dares to look at me wrongly, it's all because of these four poems, so it is." Ah, I forgot that I was going to take Jinbao to worship my brother-in-law today, it's not too early, and since the great master is gone, I will leave. Qiu Feng, let's go! β
Qiu Feng didn't expect that Wang Fulin would not stay to communicate with these students more, and let the aftermath of such a wonderful poem go to waste, but when Wang Fulin threw a stern look at him, he didn't dare to disobey his master, so he could only whisper and agree to follow.
Cheng Kui and Zhu Chaopin wanted to stay, but when they saw that Wang Fulin said to leave, there was no politeness from Shilin at all, and they couldn't help but look at each other. And the Wu brothers whispered.
"That Wang Jinbao is really a good fortune, he didn't reincarnate well, he bumped into a vicious brother, but he picked up a good father for nothing!"
"Actually let go of the opportunity to raise his eyebrows in front of people at this moment, Brother Wang Xian is really out of the ordinary!"
Cheng Kui coldly heard the small talk of the Wu family brothers, and immediately came to his senses, and found that Cheng Wenlie and other students from the other five counties had dispersed in a moment, and he understood that these people were probably afraid that they would be ridiculed for going to the county seat, and he immediately became even more annoyed. He said before that he wanted to find out the rumor-mongers, but this was easier said than done, only finding out that Fuxue was one of the sources, or Cheng Naixuan was faster than him. Now that new hatred and old hatred come up together, where can he endure it?
Seeing that most of the students in She County were still left, he immediately shouted to the remaining ten or twenty people to gather over, and then said loudly: "Everyone has seen today's situation, they are actually cheating, if it weren't for Wang Fulin's alertness, we would have almost fallen into evil!" Since the beginning of the year, they have frequently stumbled on our She County students, and the same is true today, when they saw that things were not good, they made a squeeze and sneered at Wang Fulin, and they were hit by that poem, and they ran away, how could it be so easy! β
"Yes, they almost made us a big fool, and we can't let them go!"
Cheng Kui thought of the killer feature that Cheng Naixuan had told him, and threw it out: "Moreover, Ye Xianzun also said before that Wang Fulin's incident was deliberately slandered and smeared by someone to our Shexian Shilin." I found out that there are two students in the school who are one of the most enthusiastic people to spread rumors, if these guys are really troublemakers, then they are deliberately smearing my Shexian Shilin! β
As soon as these words came out, the rest of the Shexian students immediately exploded.
"Why don't we go to Huizhou Mansion to learn and copy dozens of copies of this poem and paste it there, anyway, even the great master is full of praise!"
"If they don't admit their mistakes, let them copy Wang Fulin's poem and eat it in their stomachs, so that they can close their stinky mouths in the future!"
Where did Wang Fulin think that although the great master Xie Tingjie was gone, he also took Qiu Feng with him, and most of them dispersed, but the aftermath of this poem has not yet ended, and some of the ancient road enthusiasts, who took him as a reason to make a big fuss, actually went to the west, and did not detour from the county seat, and went directly west from the north gate of the capital city to Huizhou Fuxue!
At this moment, he and Qiu Feng had already entered Xin'anmen, the county seat, and when they saw that there was no one around, he turned around and said, "Today, you are indignant and stand up for me, and the effect is good." But the next time you encounter something like this, don't make your own decisions. β
This time it was lucky, if he casually sighed at that time that it was the Tang and Song poems that Qiu Feng had not heard, and it would be self-defeating if he was found out when he recited it and showed off.
Qiu Feng thought that he would make a name for his master in front of people today, and he would receive some praise at worst, but he didn't expect that in addition to a little affirmation, he was actually a warning, and he was surprised and aggrieved. And on the way back to the Majia Inn, Wang Fulin didn't say anything again, as if he was only the back of the house, and this kind of neglect made him more sad than contempt.
When they arrived at the door of the hall in the small courtyard they rented, Wang Fulin said without looking back: "Since you love to read, I'll give you a few books when you go back, and you can go and rest first." β
Seeing that the person disappeared into the door like this, Qiu Feng stood there in a daze. Thinking of the opportunity that he had won with great difficulty today, and even being able to meet the Great Grandmaster, but in the end, he didn't get any affirmation back, the only thing he felt that he had done beautifully, Wang Fulin didn't seem to be too happy, he just felt that he couldn't say anything in his heart. Is he really doing too much?
Faintly, he heard the sound of talking from the room again, but it was Wang Fulin who asked Jinbao about the progress of today's calligraphy, and then praised two more sentences, just the slow voice and the gentle drizzle, which made him extremely envious. However, just as he was about to turn away, Leng Buding heard a conversation that made him extremely unbelievable.
In the room, Wang Fulin stood beside Jinbao and said with a smile: "I will read four lines of poetry to you, and if you can write it, write it down." β
Although Jinbao didn't know why, he immediately spread out a piece of small note, dipped his pen in ink, and waited for his father's orders.
"Li Du's poems have been passed down by thousands of people, and they are no longer new. There are talented people from generation to generation, each leading the way for hundreds of years. β
Wang Fulin read while watching Jin Baozai carefully write word by word, and seeing that the final word was correct, he picked up the paper, blew it gently, and then said with a smile: "Yes, there is a lot of progress." β
Jinbao was a little embarrassed: "Dad has taught me for so long, if I still can't write, then rotten wood can't be carved." However, this poem is so good, there is a kind of ...... Well, the pride of carrying on the past and forging ahead into the future! β
"Yes, now even the idiom is coming!" Wang Fulin looked at Jinbao, who was trying to pretend to be a little adult, and immediately laughed, and then reminded, "Remember, put this piece of paper away, it will be of great use in the future." β
Standing outside the door, Qiu Feng's heart turned into turbulent waves. Put this paper away, what does that mean? Could it be that Wang Fulin didn't admit it on the spot today, and asked Jinbao to copy this poem at this moment, so that he can say that it was written by Jinbao when he looks back? Why? Just because Jinbao was abused by his brother back then, and he eavesdropped on lectures in school, he was able to read and write? Just because Jinbao also belongs to the Wang clan, so he can become the son of Xiucai Xianggong as a matter of course? Just because he is a son, can he take the poems made by his father as his own? And he is blamed and snubbed because he is self-assertive?
He only felt that something was gnawing at his heart like a poisonous snake, and he was so depressed that he didn't even know when he left the door of the hall.
In the room, Jin Bao looked at the thin piece of paper on the bookcase with some incomprehension, and finally decided to ask clearly: "Dad, who made this poem?" β
Seeing that Wang Fulin's face showed a somewhat subtle expression, Jinbao suddenly had a thought, and he was overjoyed: "Could it be that my father did it?" β
"What are you yelling about, do you understand low-key?" Wang Fulin angrily scolded the excited Jinbao, and then said seriously, "I heard others say that the Great Grandmaster is very concerned about you, he has just taken office, if he goes smoothly and becomes a student for another two or three years, you will be blessed to come to the Dao test." Even if he is a noble person who forgets things, you will try to send a post at that time, attaching the poem you have copied now, plus this poem that you will write again in the future, just say that you want to ask the great master for calligraphy, maybe you can make the great master think of our father and son. In this way, if you go to the Xiucai exam, maybe it will be much easier. β
Jin Bao almost didn't stare at him, and after a while, he stammered: "Dad, I'll go to the Xiucai exam in two or three years, aren't you kidding?" β
"Are you kidding? Your father and I didn't come back after taking the exam at the age of fourteen! After two or three years, you will be eleven or twelve, and with your qualifications to be able to recite, it is enough! Wang Fulin scolded, even if your father and I were at the end of the list, then he said: "You clean up, let's go back as much as possible." β
Jinbao could only not worry about this question of taking the exam, but he was very puzzled that he had to go back now: "Dad, didn't the person say before, let us wait." Besides, doesn't Dad have to stay in Shexian School Palace to study? β
"The Great Grandmaster is gone, what are you waiting for?" Thinking of the idler who was swimming in the wilderness, Wang Fulin only felt angry, "Tomorrow I will go to the county government to post and ask to see Ye Xianling, and I will leave quickly if it's okay!" As for studying, I said that the injury had not healed, so I would go to the school palace to take a year and a half of leave! By the way, I made an excuse to take you to my brother-in-law's house to worship, so let's go, so I don't have to be picked on by others! β
