After the Luming banquet, Zheng Guang was unwilling to continue to stay in Nanjing, and wanted to return to Suzhou as soon as possible to study behind closed doors and deepen his knowledge in order to prepare for the examination in February of the following year, but after stepping into Vanity Fair, he did not want to participate in some things, but some things took the initiative to come to the door.

After reluctantly accepting the invitation of some literati, Zheng Guang couldn't wait to return to the courtyard to rest, he only felt that it was not difficult to face these people in the face of the Mongols and the Japanese Invaders, and in the face of the Mongols and the Japanese Invaders, he only needed to find a way to kill, and in the face of these people, he had to rack his brains to deal with them, and he could not show that he was arrogant and arrogant, nor could he show that he had no one in his eyes after making great achievements, and the scholars of the Ming Dynasty did not care about morality and character in general.

When he returned to the other courtyard, when he was depressed, Zheng Guang was pleasantly surprised to find that his mentor Tang Shunzhi had already drunk and eaten meat in his room, and Zheng Jiang was accompanying him, and when he saw Zheng Guang coming, he smiled and said: "Guang'er, it just so happens that you are here, Mr. Tang has been here for a while, you accompany me, I will go and see what is delicious." After speaking, Zheng Jiang went out, and Zheng Guang stepped forward in surprise to salute Tang Shunzhi: "The student has seen the teacher." ”

Tang Shunzhi put down his chopsticks when Zheng Guang entered the door, stood up, approached Zheng Guang, pulled Zheng Guang's left arm and right arm, lifted his shirt, and saw three stab wounds on his body.

Seeing that Tang Shunzhi's eyes slowly turned red, Zheng Guang only felt a warmth in his heart: "These are the knife wounds left when dealing with that group of real widows, those true widows are really difficult to deal with, the Japanese knives are sharp, and the Ming standard spear and spear are cut off with a knife, and the students have suffered a lot of losses in the first battle." ”

Tang Shunzhi sniffed, rubbed his eyes, smiled again, sat down again, and then slowly spoke: "Knowing that the Japanese invaded Suzhou, the teacher was anxious, and immediately rushed to Suzhou. ”

Zheng Guang saw that the cups and plates on the table were in a mess, and there was residual juice at the collar of Tang Shunzhi's mouth, which was a crime for Tang Shunzhi, who cared a lot about his appearance, to make the teacher so out of shape, and I don't know how anxious the teacher was, and how long it had been since he had a good meal.

"Guang'er, the teacher can't stand you, and when it's the most dangerous, the teacher isn't by your side." Tang Shunzhi's eyes turned red again, he held Zheng Guang's hand tightly, pursed his lips, as if he was holding himself back in his hand and not letting himself shed tears: "What happened to your father back then, it was the most heart-wrenching thing for the teacher to be born, this time the Japanese raided Suzhou, and the teacher was not in Suzhou, and you actually went to be the main general, and did such a dangerous thing...... If you have three longs and two shorts, you will be a teacher......"

Tang Shunzhi turned his face away, and after a while, he wiped his face with his sleeve before turning around, taking a deep breath, suppressing his sadness and self-blame, and said: "I can't stand you for the teacher, I can't stand you......"

Zheng Guang in turn held Tang Shunzhi's slightly rough hands tightly, and said: "Teacher, the students all understand, but this matter is really not the teacher's fault, the student will one day embark on his own journey, and he will be responsible for himself, after this battle, the student thought to himself, back then, when his father made that kind of decision, he definitely did not complain about the teacher's intention in it, the father was willing to die for Suzhou, and the student was also willing to fight for Suzhou, all of this has nothing to do with the teacher, why should the teacher blame himself." ”

Tang Shunzhi pursed his lips and didn't speak for a long time, before he smiled: "Don't talk about this, don't talk about this, the teacher hasn't celebrated your examination for you yet!" Your father's most regrettable time is that he failed to participate in the township examination and get the exam, and now you are taking the exam, which is enough to glorify the ancestors, and the second place is also a very good result. ”

Zheng Guang said with a smile: "The students plan to go back to Suzhou to study behind closed doors after this matter is over, and after spending the Spring Festival at home, they will set off for the capital to prepare for the examination." ”

Tang Shunzhi nodded, and then said with a smile: "The great name of Suzhou writers has begun to spread throughout the southeast, and what you said to Peng Shangong before to make them famous all over the world seems to be about to be realized now. ”

Speaking of the Xinxue Sect and Peng Shan Gong Ji Ben, Zheng Guang seemed to remember something, and asked, "Teacher, do you know if Xu Wenqing has been promoted?" ”

Tang Shunzhi shook his head and said: "When the teacher left home and came to Suzhou, the Zhejiang Township Test had not yet been released, and now it must be released, the teacher has asked someone to inquire, and there will be news soon, this time it is reliable, Wen Qing himself said that his feeling is okay, although he said something against his will made him feel very unpleasant, but as soon as he remembered the contempt and insult that you kid had had, he was angry, and the feeling of going against his heart was a lot less, everyone felt that you had done something that many people have not been able to do for many years, This time, Wen Qing is very likely to be moved. ”

Thinking of Xu Wei, Zheng Guang has some expectations, can this genius with a miserable life and a bumpy life break the shackles of fate and get a new life with his own help?

"It seems like you're going to be busy with some socializing and parties these days, right?" After talking about Xu Wei, Tang Shunzhi talked about Zheng Guang's current situation, as soon as he mentioned these things, Zheng Guang complained unhappily: "I didn't want to participate in these things, I wanted to go back to study quietly, but the tree wanted to be quiet and the wind didn't stop, the students were really helpless, so they could only choose some parties with a better appetite to attend, and they wouldn't feel too boring." ”

Tang Shunzhi seriously instructed Zheng Guang: "Since someone invited you, it proves that you already have a reputation and qualifications, if you are still a talent, you will not have such qualifications, you are already a person, and you have the qualifications to be an official, you should make these preparations, and pass on your skills of change to the teacher, not only to let you know that officialdom is sinister, but also to let you understand the sinister nature of the world.

What the teacher introduces to you is a friend of the teacher, a friend who has known the teacher for decades, they help each other when the teacher is in the most dangerous time, and the kindness of the teacher is not insignificant, and they are not the friends you get yourself, you also have to meet a lot of people, make a lot of like-minded friends, support each other, encourage each other, these will play an immeasurable role in your future.

As a teacher, you know that you don't like to socialize, and you don't like to talk about the scene, and you are also reluctant to teach you the art of machine change, which is very similar to your father, but you must know that at home, in Suzhou, in Nanzhili, for the teacher can protect you, but when you go to the capital, become an official, go to other places, and the whip of the teacher is beyond reach, you are a lifter, but also a man, you can have the determination to fight for Suzhou, you should also have the determination to fight for your future. ”

Tang Shunzhi's earnest teachings made Zheng Guang deeply touched, and Zheng Guang also understood that the road to the imperial examination can rely on his own hard work in a small room to achieve victory and results, but for the official road, the road to realize his dream is definitely not something that can be done in a room, you need helpers, you need friends, you need like-minded people to walk together, otherwise, the difficulties and obstacles along the way are enough to break any dream.

Zheng Guang felt disgusted with those social places and scenes in his heart, he would rather have a drink with three or five sincere friends and talk to each other, rather than mingle with those big people at the wine table, but he also deeply understood that no matter in the past life or in this life, since he has chosen this path, there is no way to retreat, the road to becoming an official after the imperial examination, the beautiful world he dreams of in his heart, the throbbing hidden in the depths of his soul, all, all of them are not something that one person can do.

Therefore, no matter how sad and disgusted you are, how unwilling, disgusting and disgusted you are, you must put on a smiling face to welcome all this, of course, you can't forget to take off your mask and vomit after all this is over, and then remember your true face in the mirror, otherwise, you will lose yourself and forget your original self.

Smile at all this, and then vomit and hate it all, so that you can not forget your original self and your truest self.

Tang Shunzhi probably saw Zheng Guang's determination, showed a smile, picked up a few pieces of meat with chopsticks and swallowed it, and said slowly: "This time you defeated the Japanese and beheaded one thousand and five, which can be said to be the first achievement in the southeast since Jiajing, the emperor must have said something, Fan Qing can probably be promoted and added to the official, as for you, a person, giving you an official position will harm you, if the emperor knows these and is willing to reuse it for you, he will definitely not give you an additional official, but will give some other rewards, Guang'er, what do you want most?" ”

Zheng Guang said with a smile: "Your Majesty's reward is not something you can choose, the teacher laughed." ”

Tang Shunzhi laughed, then put down his chopsticks, and said slowly: "Guang'er, this time, when you are admitted to the Jinshi, you will be a teacher and go out of the mountain again to be an official. ”

Zheng Guang was stunned for a moment, opened his mouth to say something, but couldn't say a word.

Two days later, Tang Shunzhi said goodbye to Zheng Guang and went straight back to Zhejiang, Zheng Guang and Xiang Qing and Yuan Hongyu went back to Suzhou together, Xiang Qing began to keep filial piety for his parents, study quietly, Zheng Guang and Yuan Hongyue made an appointment to study together, delve into knowledge, and will go to the capital together after the Chinese New Year, to participate in the examination.
