Huang Ruheng heard that Dong Xuanzai's son was beaten at the mountain gate of Jingci Temple in the thatched cottage, and was taken aback, so he and his disciple Jiao Runsheng came to see what was going on, Jiao Runsheng is the son of the champion Jiao Hong, his son is not easy to teach, Jiao Hong let his son worship under Huang Ruheng's door, Jiao Hong said that he was not in the grass hall today, and went to Yunqi Temple to visit the lotus pond master - Huang Ruheng had a bad impression of Dong Zuchang, this Dong Zu often brought his father's letters to study under his door, but he was a gentleman, absent-minded when listening to lectures, and often did not come. It is said that he went to the West Lake to paint a boat to sleep in the willows, Dong Zu often behaved frivolously and arrogantly, and was not on good terms with other students in the thatched cottage, but what surprised Huang Ruheng was: the homework assigned by Dong Zuchang could be completed on time, and the text he wrote was the crown of all living beings under the door - Huang Ruheng cherished talents, and talked with Dong Zuchang several times, and persuaded him bitterly, Dong Zuchang was either silent or talking nonsense, so angry that Huang Ruheng let it go, and it was not easy to drive him out for the sake of Dong Qichang's face, and sighed in his heart: "It's a pity, Dong Xuanzai's son is extremely smart, but his quality is not good, fortunately Dong Xuanzai is not strict, otherwise this Dong Zuchang is another Yan Shifan who is extremely smart, has poor morality, and brings disaster to the country and the people. ”

Coming to the gate of Jingci Temple, the elder greeted him and said: "Huang Tan Yue came just in time, this little Dong donor is a student of Huang Tan Yue, but he was injured, Huang Tan Yue will deal with this matter." ”

Zhang Yuan saw that this old Confucian with a black face and many beards and a sea mouth was Huang Ruheng, and immediately stepped forward to salute and said, "Shanyin Zhang Yuan pays a visit to Mr. Yu Yong. ”

Huang Ruheng said "Huh" and asked, "Are you Su Weng's grandson Zhang Yuan Zhang Jiezi?" ”

Zhang Yuan said respectfully: "It's the student." ”

Shanyin County Test, Shaoxing Mansion Test Double Case Head is still very famous, Huang Ruheng has also heard Zhang Yuan's name, Zhejiang Mention Wang Bian praised Zhang Yuan, show Zhang Yuan's craftsmanship to Huang Ruheng, I really don't believe that this kind of craftsmanship is from the hands of a sixteen-year-old boy, so Huang Ruheng said today that Zhang Yuan is young and handsome, clear and hearty, so he has three points of like, and asked: "I once asked someone to bring a letter to your uncle, saying that Jiao Taishi was lecturing in Nanping, let Zongzi come to listen, why didn't Zongzi come?" ”

Zhang Yuan said: "The student has not heard the ancestor of the clan and the eldest brother of the sect say this, will the letter be lost?" ”

Huang Yuyong nodded and said: "I sent the letter from the footman, and it is not uncommon to lose it, otherwise even if Zhang Zongzi wants to be lazy, Su Weng will order him to come, Jiao Taishi lectures, how rare it is - then why are you here today?" ”

Zhang Yuan said: "The student has long heard Brother Zongzi talk about Mr. Yu Yong's high morality and knowledge, and this time he came to Hangzhou for something, so he wanted to come to listen to the lecture——"

Dong Zu over there often saw Huang Ruheng and Zhang Yuan talking about their family routines, and shouted: "Sir, Mr. Yu Yong-"

Only then did Huang Ruheng remember that Dong Zu was often beaten, and said to Zhang Yuan: "You go to the grass hall first and wait for me." Turned around and walked towards Dong Zuchang, Dong Zuchang had now been handed a towel by the servant to wipe off the nosebleeds, but there were obvious finger marks on his left cheek, which was indeed beaten, so he asked: "Dong Sheng, who beat you?" ”

Dong Zu often pointed at Zhang Yuan angrily: "It's him." ”

Huang Ruheng was stunned and asked, "Zhang Yuan, is it really you?" ”

Zhang Yuan bowed down and said: "Mr. Yuyong, it is better to go to the grass hall and let the students explain the matter to Mr. ”

Dong Zu often said angrily: "Zhang Yuan boy, Hugh has to talk flatteringly, you beat the students with Confucian children, and now I will never spare you." ”

Huang Ruheng frowned, seeing that Zhang Yuan was polite and polite, he was a weak young man, which seemed to be a fierce and ruthless person, on the other hand, Dong Zuchang, with horizontal eyebrows, jumping like thunder, and several powerful slaves around him, if Dong Zuchang beat Zhang Yuan, he would immediately believe it, Zhang Yuan beat Dong Zuchang, no matter how you look at it, there is a hidden meaning - Huang Ruheng said: "Don't make noise in front of the temple, go to the grass hall to make it clear." ”

Dong Zu often shouted: "Kid Zhang Yuan has taken my servant away!" ”

Zhang Yuan said: "Mr. Yu, Dong Sheng's servant Chen Ming has been escorted to the Hangzhou Mansion by the people of the Weaving Department. ”

Huang Ruheng didn't know what was going on, and why the people from the Weaving Department were involved, so he said, "Let's go to the cottage first and make it clear." "Just turn around with Jiao Runsheng.

Zhang Yuan and Mu Zhenzhen, Wu Ling followed behind Huang Ruheng, that Dong Zu often glared at Zhang Yuan viciously, thought about it, and followed, a group of people bypassed the Jingci Temple, along a narrow path that only allowed one person to the west actually grass hall line, actually grass hall under the pavilion, actually pavilion outside the lotus hole, the cave stone exquisite, skillfully more than carving, the scenery is excellent - the grass hall is five, the middle of a Xuan is open, the north and south sides do not stand the wall, this is the place where the lecture is said, can accommodate twenty or thirty people to listen to the lecture, at this time there are more than ten scholars waiting.

Huang Ruheng entered the first thatched hall on the left and sat down, Zhang Yuan and Dong Zuchang entered and stood, and Mu Zhenzhen, Wuling and Dong's servants were waiting outside the thatched hall, but they didn't see Zong Yishan.

Huang Ruheng looked at the calm Zhang Yuan and the angry Dong Zuchang, and said, "Which of you two will speak first?" ”

Dong Zu often said: "Mr. also saw it, Zhang Yuan beat me-"

Huang Ruheng looked at Zhang Yuan, waiting for Zhang Yuan to explain, but saw Zhang Yuan and said, "Sir, is this Dong Gongzi also worshipping under Mr.?" ”

Huang Ruheng said "um" and said: "I will judge everyone equally and fairly, you don't have to scruple." ”

But he heard Zhang Yuan say: "Sir, the student has a request, I want to read an essay by Dong Sheng, which has a lot to do with Dong Sheng's beating, please allow me." ”

Huang Yuyong is very strange, Zhang Yuan did not explain why he beat Dong Zuchang, but proposed to see Dong Zuchang's craftsmanship, and said that it had a lot to do with Dong Zuchang's beating, which is really incomprehensible, so he checked it on the desk and found an essay that Dong Zuchang handed in before, the title is "Hair and Middle", this is a sentence in "The Mean", Dong Zuchang wrote this article very well, although Huang Ruheng does not like Dong Zuchang's character, but he still appreciates his craftsmanship - Zhang Yuan took the ink scroll and looked at it, Xiaokai Qingli, and sneered in his heart:" This word is the word of Yishan. "Look at the article again, the technique of starting and turning, and the conversion of guests and hosts is skillful, who will it be if it is not Yishan's style of writing?

Zhang Yuan respectfully presented the ink scroll to Huang Ruheng and said, "Mr. Reading Dong Sheng's composition, do you feel that people are not as good as his writings?" ”

Huang Ruheng said unhappily: "Zhang Yuan, don't talk about the things in front of the mountain gate." ”

Zhang Yuan said: "Sir, the student dares to conclude that Dong Sheng's essays are all written by others, and this writer is Dong Sheng's domestic servant." ”

Huang Ruheng said suddenly: "You mean Zong Yishan!" ”

Zong Yishan accompanied Dong Zu to study, that Dong Zu often came to study for three days, but this Zong Yishan must come to every class, because he is a servant of the Dong family, Huang Ruheng did not let him do his homework, only once asked about "the heart is the courtesy", all the beings present could not distinguish it, Huang Ruheng saw Zong Yishan's eyes blazing, so he asked Zong Yishan to answer, Zong Yishan replied: "Those who come out of the middle are called gifts; Those who enter from the outside are called indecent. Those who descend from heaven are called courtesy, and those who receive from people are said to be indecent. Those who come from not learning, not thinking, not reluctant, not knowing and not knowing are called courtesy, and those who come from hearing and hearing and thinking about the preface and deeds seem to be compared to those who come are called indecent ......"

Huang Ruheng was greatly appreciative, and his heart said that Dong Xuanzai was really like Zheng Xuan, a great Confucian in the Eastern Han Dynasty, and even the servants in the family knew poetry, but after several questions, this Zong Yishan shook his head again and said that he didn't know - Dong Zuchang's face changed, and he shouted: "Nonsense, how can this article be made by a slave, it's really a big joke, a joke!" Saying that, he sneered again and again, indicating that what Zhang Yuan said was ridiculous.

Zhang Yuan said: "Mr. Yu Yong, the student proposed this matter just to prove that Dong Sheng's character is despicable, and there is no need to come up with another question, Mr. only asked Dong Sheng to recite this 'Hair and Death Section' again to understand, and the student expected that he would not be able to memorize it." ”

Before Huang Ruheng could speak, Dong Zuchang pointed at Zhang Yuan and shouted: "Why do I want to recite it to you, why should I recite it to you!" ”

Zhang Yuan smiled and didn't say a word, only looked at Huang Ruheng.

Huang Ruheng had already believed it for seven or eight points, and said: "Dong Sheng, this is your previous composition, so you can recite a broken question and accept the topic." ”

Zong Yishan writes good compositions, Dong Zu often never reads them, where can he memorize what to break the topic and inherit the topic, and said angrily: "Why did Mr. Yu Yong help Zhang Yuan to make it difficult for the student, and everyone can remember the previous composition!" ”

Zhang Yuan responded: "I remember, I have written a total of three hundred and sixty-three eight-strand essays since I learned the arts, and I can recite any of them, of course, Mr. Yu Yong has not read the previous compositions, and I can't prove myself, but people are here, it is very simple to prove their innocence, it is better to do this, please ask Mr. Yu Yong to make a question, I will write an essay with the same title as Dong Sheng, if my composition is not as good as Dong Sheng, then I will let Dong Sheng dispose of it, and send it to the government to punish the crime of beating the students, if Dong Sheng can't do it-" The voice changed, and he said coldly:" That kind of Sven scum is spurned by everyone. ”

Dong Zu often said inwardly: "Why do I want to bet with you on composition, you want to write your own composition." ”

Zhang Yuan bowed to Huang Ruheng and said, "Please ask Mr. to make a question." ”

Huang Ruheng asked Dong Zuchang: "Do you want to write on the spot?" ”

Dong Zu often said: "I was seriously injured by Zhang Yuan today, where can I still write, I only look at his composition." As he spoke, he rubbed his waist with his hand, the more he rubbed it, the more painful it became, the injury was really not light, and his teeth itched with hatred - Huang Ruheng also wanted to test Zhang Yuan's talent and learning, and asked: "Zhang Yuan, Dong Zu often refuses to compose, are you still willing to write?" ”

Zhang Yuan said: "The students came here to ask Mr. for advice, and they would not miss such an opportunity." ”

Huang Ruheng got up and said: "That's okay, you can sit here and write an eight-strand essay of more than 300 words with the title of 'Those who are harmonious, the way of the world is also'." ”

There was a ready-made pen and ink on the bookcase, Zhang Yuan sat down upright, pondered for a long time, picked up the pen and wrote, only took two moments, a three-hundred-word eight-strand essay was written, and he got up and presented the ink to Huang Ruheng.

Huang Ruheng browsed it, nodded and praised: "Miaowen, it is really a talent who occupies the mouth, a young talent, and his reputation is well deserved." Looking at Dong Zuchang, he said, "Dong Sheng, you really don't want to compose?" If you don't want to do it, you don't have to study in the thatched cottage, I can't teach you, you go back to Songjiang and let Dong Gong teach you personally. ”

Dong Zu often said: "The student said that his body was aching today and he couldn't write, so he would write again tomorrow." "With that, he came out in a hurry.
