Chapter 19 Luoyang Paper Expensive on Ancient and Modern Times
In the Spring and Autumn Period of that year, King Qin Zhao, the monarch of the Qin State, in order to attract talents, heard that Fan Sui was very talented, so he personally drove to Fan Sui's residence, and begged Fan Sui to stay and assist him in strengthening the Qin State! He and An Sheng only met a little villain from it, if so, they lost their temper, complaining that He Xun has no eyes and no knowledge! Then Yang Jiake is really not a thousand-mile horse, and he has achieved that in his life!
On the second day, Yang Jia and An Sheng packed up their clothes early and planned to visit He Xun. When he arrived at the gate of Hefu, it was still the steward's porter from yesterday, and An Sheng saw this person gritting his teeth and hating it in his heart. Yang Jia was still calm, as if he had seen the man for the first time.
The concierge saw that it was these two again, and still invited the two to the concierge as yesterday, but he secretly said in his heart: "These two dirt buns are really persevering!" It's a pity that I heard that the two guests yesterday were going to stay in Hefu for a few days, and it is estimated that they will be discussing national affairs with the two of them too often! If you want me to go in and report such a trivial matter, it will disturb the interest of a few people, but you two dirt buns are fine, and I am about to lose a layer of skin! I'm not going to do such a stupid thing! You two are still waiting in the concierge! ”
The housekeeper went to do something else like yesterday, where did Yang Jia and the others go!
Yang Jia and An Sheng waited in the concierge for another two hours, and the situation was the same as yesterday. An Sheng finally couldn't help but start complaining: "This He Taichang score is too big!" What does it mean to throw me two here, do you see it or not, give a quasi-letter......" Yang Jia saw that although An Sheng kept complaining in his mouth, he couldn't hear a word to return to Lin'an, and smiled slightly and said secretly: "He is also a person with a firm mind and is not easy to shake, it seems that he has not seen the wrong person!" Immediately knew that it would be futile to wait any longer, so he stood up and said, "I don't think it's a show today, let's go back first, and come back tomorrow!" An Sheng also stopped complaining, and reluctantly got up and walked outside the house. Hades is easy to talk to, but the little ghost is difficult! Yang Jia understood the true meaning of this sentence today.
On the third day, Yang Jia Ansheng set off early to visit He Xun, which may have been unsatisfactory in the first two days, and Ansheng bowed his head and was silent along the way, and his mood was extremely low. Yang Jia couldn't help but open his mouth and comforted: "In the past, the rubber was lifted in the fish and salt, Uncle Sun Ao was lifted in the sea, and the hundred miles were lifted in the city. You and I have been frustrated twice, and we will definitely see He Taichang this time! Don't be too frustrated, even if it doesn't work out this time, I'll help you think of another way! An Sheng knew that Yang Jia was also kind-hearted, so he had to cheer up and nodded at Yang Jia with a wry smile.
When he arrived at He Mansion this time, after still answering questions, Yang Jia approached the housekeeper affectionately, took out Brother Kong Fang from his arms, and stuffed it to the other party without any fireworks. The porter was at a loss, and still lukewarmly led the two to the porter, turned around and walked towards the compound. Seeing that guy was the same as yesterday, An Sheng couldn't help but worry that Yang Jia's bribed money and meat buns would hit the dog, and asked, "Brother Mingxin, what does that guy mean!?" "Yang Jiana will know the reason for AXA's worry! opened his mouth and said: "This time he will definitely go to report to He Taichang!" This guy doesn't want to talk to me because we're not scholars, we're ordinary people! Hearing this, An Sheng scolded angrily: "This guy is too dog-eyed to look at people!" He himself is not a servant of other people's families! But there are still fifty steps and a hundred steps of laughter! What a natural fight! ”
Besides, the housekeeper was also very nervous in his heart, and it was really unreasonable not to mention the report of others, after all, he had a short hand, but if he disturbed Taichang Yaxing for a while, scolding was inevitable! Constantly thinking about the gains and losses in his heart, he unconsciously walked to the door of the main hall, and the steward habitually stretched out his hand to push the door open, but saw that the originally active atmosphere in the room suddenly cooled down, He Xun looked at the steward coldly, obviously a little unhappy! The steward was in a cold sweat behind his back, and scolded Yang Jia in his heart for not picking time to visit Taichang, and hurriedly said: "Two relatives outside Taichang's door have come to visit you, I'll report it!" He Xun's brows furrowed when he heard this, this idiot is really brainless! Don't you see that I'm entertaining distinguished guests! You won't tell those two people that you're away from the house too often! They just ran in and bothered us! He Xun wanted to say this, but considering that there were still guests, he had to ask, "Who are the surnames of those two!?" Where? The steward had already been frightened and stammered, "Its. . . One of them is surnamed Yang, and he said that he is from Lin'an, Wuxing County! When He Xun heard about the Lin'an people's clan, he immediately thought of the 'needle floating' scam, and immediately said happily: "It turned out to be him!" Go and invite him in! Seeing that He Xun's face suddenly turned from cloudy to sunny, where did he dare to stay in the room, and ran to the porter as if flying!
He Xun turned his head and explained to Wang Dao, who didn't understand very well: "Last time I went to Lin'an County, I met a descendant surnamed Yang, who has great courage and a high level of enlightenment, and can crack the deception that deceives many people at a young age!" I think this son may be a black-headed man in the future [Note 1]! I'll introduce you to it later! Director Wang only felt very surprised when he heard this, He Xun rarely praised others on weekdays, but this time he held a young man so high, it was really strange, so he smiled slightly and raised the bar and asked: "Yan Xian, that young man's courage is comparable to that of the Han Bandu?" How is Jiewu compared to Wang Rong, the seven sages of the bamboo forest who 'knew that the plums on the roadside were bitter fruits at the age of seven' in the Middle Dynasty? ”
Hexun heard Director Wang say this, and knew that this was mostly a pole-raising component, but he still said in a positive way: "There are more than thirty-six people in the Later Han Dynasty in the Western Regions, and throughout the ages, there are no two of them, and Xiao Yang is naturally incomparable!" But in terms of enlightenment, Yang Ke is much more than Wang Rong of the Chinese Dynasty! As he spoke, he told the two of them about the interesting things that happened in Lin'an County.
'Roadside plums are bitter fruits' is also a small story, when Wang Rong was seven years old and the children were playing on the side of the road, suddenly found that there was a plum tree on the side of the road, everyone went to pick plums, but Wang Rong did not go, someone asked Wang Rong why he did not pick plums? Wang Rong replied: "The plum tree grows on the side of the road, and the plums on the tree must be all bitter, otherwise why are there so many passers-by, they should have been picked long ago, how can there be plums?" Later, I found out that those plums were really bitter as Wang Rong said.
Another middle-aged man heard that He Xun admired a junior so much, so he asked, "Wu Xing Lin'an, I haven't heard of a scholar surnamed Yang!" Yan Xian, that young man can't be a child of the Shu clan, right? He Xun nodded when he heard this, and the middle-aged man couldn't help but sneer when he saw He Xun affirming his words: "Yan Xian, you are the leader of the Huiji Shanyin clan, how can you entangle with these villains?" And praise those villains in front of us!" During the Eastern Jin Dynasty, the children of the scholar clan paid the most attention to the difference between the portals! They collectively refer to the common people and government officials as villains, so as to draw a line with these so-called 'lowly people'!
He Xun was slightly annoyed when he heard this, how could the other party dismantle his own stage so recklessly! opened his mouth and retorted: "Shiguang! That's a mistake! Now the great cause of the Eastern Jin Dynasty has been created, and the land of Huaisi is constantly fighting! Those children of the Shu clan are easy to rely on their military exploits to become officials and become famous at home! How can Shiguang take the judging criteria of those short-sighted scholars to observe the virtues and abilities of others!? ”
When Shiguang heard He Xun's words, he once spoke: "Yan Xian, even if those Shu clan disciples make war exploits in the territory and become famous all over the world, they can only be regarded as soldiers!" How can it be compared to us cultural scholars? ”
When He Xun heard this, his temper also came up, and he was about to open his mouth again to refute! But when he saw that the king came out to play a round and said: "Yanxian, Shiguang, don't argue!" After a while, wait for the young man to come in, come up with a few questions to test, see how he can distinguish and answer, and then look at his words and deeds, isn't it clear that his person's virtue and talent are clear? ”
When the two saw Director Wang playing a round game, they also stopped arguing at the same time, and in less than a few breaths, the young man who made the three of them argue finally pushed the door and came to the main hall!
[Note 1] Black-headed male; In ancient times, most of the officials who had to stay up to forty or fifty years old were forty or fifty years old, and their hair was gray, so the meaning of the black-headed duke was that he was young, and when his hair was still black, he was ranked among the third dukes.
