Early in the morning, Li Charen from the county school ran in with a name card and said, "My lord, the fourth master of Shenjia Village has come to worship."

The panicked Zhou Xuezheng hurriedly dressed to greet him, and when the two sides met, he happily took Shen Jiaji's hand and walked in.

Sitting down in the hall, Shen Jiaji arched his hand and said, "Yesterday, Brother Nian came to the cold house, and Shen was guilty of losing his waiting."

Zhou Xuezheng said: "After a long time, I was eager to see yesterday, and I didn't meet him unexpectedly, almost overnight."

Shen Jiaji smiled: "Ashamed! Now that my brother is teaching one place, I am not as shabby as my younger brother. ”

"Cheesy." Zhou Xuezheng waved his hand, "If you are interested, you will be a late bloomer, and I have only been a scholar for a few years, so I am ashamed of my comrades." ”

"You're cheesy too." Shen Jiaji smiled.

"That's elegant." Zhou Xuezheng was very happy, "I'm here today to get drunk and rest, and Hugh wants to say if you go back." ”

Shen Jiaji hurriedly said: "I haven't fulfilled the feelings of the landlord yet, besides, your new appointment is busy, let's come to the future."

Zhou Xuezheng said: "Yesterday I arranged to wear the moon at your house and return, but you are not at home, since people are here, your own brother, then don't be polite." Let me tell you, I have a good wine from my father-in-law here, and my brother will talk while drinking, and I won't ask anything today. ”

Shen Jiaji was very moved to see that he was still so enthusiastic after not seeing him for many years, and he regarded himself as a close friend, so he didn't shirk it at the moment, and said with a smile: "Then it's disturbing."

"Come with me." Zhou Xuezheng got up and took his hand again, and instructed Li Charen: "Put the wine and food in the small room behind Minglun Hall, and if a guest comes, he will say that I will go to the upper courtyard to see the adults and remember the name."

"Yes." Li Charen respectfully agreed, and said in his heart that the old Shen family would be great for at least the past three years!

At that moment, the two of them talked and laughed and came to the back, Shen Jiaji saw that the dishes on the table were valuable, and asked, "Now that it is developed?"

"It was borrowed by Li Charen." Zhou Xuezheng explained with a smile, "The ingredients are rituals, if he feasts you again in the future, he will eat bran vegetables." ”

Shen Jiaji laughed, the two of them didn't need to be served by Li, they talked about the wine by themselves.

During the banquet, Zhou Xuezheng talked about the current situation of the capital, the health of the emperor, the rules of the Guozijian, some interesting anecdotes, the suffering of the military and civilians in the border towns outside the Guanwai, and the difficulties of the lack of ordnance and materials. I also asked the local folk customs and customs, and the temperament of the adults was strict and lenient.

Seeing that his friend didn't seem to have the intention of being a hero, Zhou Xuezheng thought of his son and nephew, and asked a few words in passing. Shen Jiaji was thinking about this, he was a gentleman and a gentleman, and he was half drunk, so he commented on the character and talent of several nephews and the advantages of them one by one.

Village, school.

During the break, Shen Kan came out to walk around the backyard and saw her standing in front of the window, looking at a spider web on the branch.

The cobwebs have a lot of dewdrops, and they look like a pearl gossip web.

Shen Kan found that her hair seemed to be combed with new patterns, with a small bun on the left, a few pigtails on the right, a layer of bangs on the forehead, and an asymmetrical hairstyle, which looked indescribably cute and lazy.

Under the small ring bun, there are two jade dragonflies and red tassels, she tilts her head, the tassels hang down, her youthful and beautiful face, and she wears a spring shirt with green bamboo leaves on a white background, this posture looks almost a beautiful picture.

Because Shen Kan wanted to guard against the attention of others, it was inconvenient to greet her, but the ambiguous taste in his heart was noisy, so he didn't want to turn around and leave, so he stood there, thinking about watching for a while and then quietly went back.

But his throat and eyes itched, and he coughed, which immediately alarmed Wu Zixian, who was in a trance. As soon as he turned his head suddenly, his body quickly shrank back, and he suddenly lost his voice "Huh", and two blush rose on his pretty face.

Now that the relationship between the two is different from the past, she seems to think that she should not avoid it, and instead leans on the windowsill, raises her embroidered eyebrows, and opens her mouth slightly, which means to ask if she is well?

Shen Kan smiled and nodded, sweet to his heart. Wu Zixian didn't ask any more, smiled and hid in the house.

In the afternoon, because the weather was humid and muggy, it was okay to get tired of people, so Mr. Qianzhai gave the students a few couplets, which meant that everyone should finish their homework early, and they should go out to have fun and relax, so as not to get bored.

And Shen Kan and a few other older students gave a prose question, similar to the composition of later generations, without eight shares and no discussion, just touch the scene, that is, write a travelogue of hundreds of words.

Shen Kan still writes with his modern habits as always, and the general environment of the literary world at this time is very relaxed, with various factions of thought, which is giving birth to the sudden emergence of vernacular novels.

As for vernacular novels, it was first a form of Han literature that originated in the Tang Dynasty, and its predecessor was the story of the Han people, the so-called street talk.

After the precipitation of time, vernacular novels have undergone continuous enrichment and expansion, and in the Song Dynasty, the style of the script was basically mature and stereotyped, but it was not until the Ming Dynasty that it ushered in real prosperity, and in one fell swoop became a major literary system that could compete with traditional lyrical literature.

Three of the four strange books of the Ming Dynasty have been published one after another: "Water Margin", "Romance of the Three Kingdoms" and "Journey to the West". In the Wanli period, not only will the long vernacular novels reach an unprecedented prosperity, but also the creation of short vernacular novels will also show a prosperous scene.

Shen Kan is just stepping on this juncture, of course, his habit of using words and sentences is too advanced, and he is more understandable than the current vernacular novel writers who pursue easy-to-understand language, and there is no vulgarity.

Shen Kan's compositions are undoubtedly the result of the development of literature, and although he has been working hard to study the Four Books and Five Classics, he does not want to be completely assimilated.

If it is said that the time travel was in the early years of the Ming Dynasty or the Qing Dynasty, it is obvious that his persistence will not work, and he must be in the same dust as the light. Fortunately, during the Jiajing period, which was about to go on strike for a long time, it was now an era full of progress and conservatism, enlightenment and stubbornness, and ideological emancipation and restraint.

On the one hand, economic development has made people's personalities begin to awaken, and many readers have begun to publicize their personalities, pursue humanistic consciousness, and pursue material desires and financial interests, which will be reflected in novels, the exploration of ideas, the pursuit of goods, and the frequent description of male and female love, love and love, and so on.

On the other hand, the centralization of power has always strengthened the control of thoughts, and the domination of Confucianism has made almost every novel have a strong concept of science, obvious ethical preaching, and a small number of extraordinarily deviant ones, so asceticism and hedonism go hand in hand in society.

The rise of real vernacular novels has to wait until the end of the Qing Dynasty and the beginning of the Republic of China, because the external and internal environment is simply a revolution.

All in all, the speech environment of the Jiajing Dynasty and the Bagu Wen are undoubtedly much better than those of the Qing Dynasty, and the Qing Dynasty is really to the extent of wonder.

Once upon a time, Shen Kan was trying to learn ancient culture, but at the same time did not give up the habits of later generations, and he gradually discovered that modern literature was not like illiteracy in ancient times, on the contrary, it had many advantages.

Instead of following behind the ancient literati and working hard to be elegant, it is better to integrate them and create a literary model that only belongs to them.

Anyway, you have to try to go off the beaten path, otherwise, it will be too difficult to get ahead in ancient Chinese.

Just like vernacular novels, at first they were considered unelegant, despised by scholars, and were the last tricks, but no matter how much rejection and ridicule they suffered, vernacular novels still have a strong social demand, with the continuous development of social economy, especially in the Song Dynasty, the rapid improvement of productivity, the growing citizen class, and people's demand for cultural life, vernacular novels seem to have grown in a blink of an eye.

Shen Kan is not untargeted, he has observed a lot and discovered this trend.

Historically, it was indeed during the Jiajing period, when suddenly a major change occurred, and the literati seemed to be collectively optimistic about the vernacular genre that they thought was vulgar and vulgar, not only commenting, but also participating in a large number of creations, such as the famous "three words" and "two beats".

Shen Kan should be grateful to Yang Ming Xinxue, it is precisely because of the rise of "Xinxue" that everyone can become a sage, and the effect of vulgarity can be achieved in the form of vulgarity. Mr. Yang Ming's emphasis on the vulgar gave the literati an ideological basis, and the author gradually rose from a little-known minor literati to a great literati.

As far as the Shen family is concerned, there will be several masters of opera and novels in the future.
