Chapter 247: New Year
- Putting aside feelings and speaking in conscience, if Chen Ke wants to be superior to the Jiayou Society, everyone who is closer to him, Zhang Dian and Lu Huiqing are undoubtedly first-class, Wang Shao and Zeng Bu are second-class, Su Zhe can barely be ranked second-rate, and his idol Su Xian, at least so far, can only be regarded as third-rate. is on the same level as Deng Juan and Jia Kang, and is stronger than Lin Xi, Jiang Zhiqi and others.
Of course, if the paper is collected and learned, Uncle Su will kill the whole society in seconds, who will say that he is not the first genius in the world, Brother-in-law Chen will sneer three times!
But at the same time, he also believes that a talented person like Su Shi should be exiled between mountains and rivers, so that he can practice his temperament and cultivate words to his heart's content, so as to provide the most delicious spiritual food for the people of the Great Song Dynasty. However, under the oppression of his perverted father, Su's brother-in-law had to participate in the imperial examination - Lao Su wanted to let his son get ahead and make the Su family proud, which is understandable, but the entrance examination does not only mean glory, but also enters the officialdom to fight and take on the responsibility of serving the country and the people!
Unfortunately, the two Su brothers were all killed by Lao Su. Speaking of Lao Su, Chen Ke is even more emotional, the old man is a great Confucian, and the article is also written beyond the ancients, heroic and majestic, but Lao Su's knowledge is the study of Mencius of the pre-Qin period, and the school is a set of vertical and horizontal families, the set of knowledge he painstakingly studied, in the pre-Qin period or or the war era, he may be able to eat openly, but now it is the Song Dynasty more than a thousand years away from the pre-Qin, and it is the Song Dynasty that has been peaceful for a long time and operates completely according to another set of rules!
It's like learning the art of slaying dragons, only to find out that there are no dragons in this world. Let him fight the tiger but he can't play......
In Chen Ke's view, this is the reason why Su Xun is now famous in Jingshi, but no high-ranking official is willing to recommend him to enter the official...... Lao Su is a talent, but it is out of place. It won't solve the problem, and it will definitely add to the blockage. Such a quixotic-like figure. How can a son who has been educated by strength have no problems?
Including Su Zhe, the brothers' articles are all the kind that are not shocking and endless, and they are indeed full of amazing talent, but the utilitarian heart hidden in them is not difficult to see.
However, Chen Ke did not laugh at them because of this. Because he is also like that - the world is all fireworks men and women, who doesn't look forward to the court for Tian Shelang and the twilight of the Tianzi Hall, and enjoy the glory and prosperity of this world? Since he can't be exempt from vulgarity, what qualifications do he have to ask Ersu to be vulgar?
He looks down on the two of them only in their ability. After all, he is a self-taught Sichuan baby, and he can learn the articles of the ancients. I can't learn the current affairs of today's people. From pattern to talent. can't compare with the children of genius families like Lu Huiqing and Zhang Dun, and even Zeng Bu and Wang Shao can't compare.
Of course, this is not to say that Ersu is poor, but Lu, Zhang, Zeng, and Wang, which are really outstanding......
So in history, people have risen rapidly in just ten years, or they are calling for wind and rain. Either dominated the next thirty years, or made immortal achievements, and Su Shi played the role of a loser all his life.
However, if there were no tribulations in his life, how could Su Shi become the idol Su Dongpo for the ages?
But Chen Ke will not see his brother-in-law make his life miserable in order to become a writer, so he wants to lead Su Shi to the metaphysical path, hoping that Su Shi will promote his strengths and avoid weaknesses, and spend his energy on building a new Confucianism for the Great Song Dynasty. Use his critical thinking and eloquence skills. Sweep Zhou Dunshi, Ercheng Zhang Zai and others into the garbage heap!
So from that day on. The Jiayou Society and the Taoists of the Great Xiangguo Temple sang a duet, and the views of both sides were for tat, and their main speakers were eloquent and kind. It's also a chess opponent, and it's hard to solve.
Moreover, the Taoists of the Jiayou Society and the Xiangguo Temple, although they are incompatible with the struggle between the scriptures and the righteousness, stand in the same camp in literature, and they all stand clearly against the Taixue style advocated by the Taixue Literary Society. Not to be outdone, the Taixue Literary Association must blow the conch every time the altar is opened, and the Taixue style is praised as if there is nothing in the sky and the earth, because it is an exam-oriented style, so there are the most supporters. …,
The fight between the three families in the air is very addictive, and every time the lecture is held, it will surely attract students from all walks of life, officials and even famous prostitutes to come and listen, becoming the most beautiful scenery this winter.
It's so lively, and it's the Spring Festival of the second year of Jiayou......
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Shuntianmen, Yinliang Bridge, Ouyang Xiufu.
The door of the house is lit up with lights, and the snow in front of the door is covered with thick firecracker shavings, which is a new year atmosphere.
Today is the third day of the first lunar month. On the first day of the new year, the ministers will enter the palace to congratulate, and the official family will give a banquet, and on the second day of the first month, it is the officialdom colleagues to visit each other, and the third day of the first month is the day for relatives and friends to pay New Year's greetings.
Ouyang Xiu's eldest son, Ouyang Fa, wore a new Oriental cotton robe and stood in front of the mansion to greet relatives and friends. Old Ouyang traveled to the capital, and the so-called relatives and friends, in addition to his wife, were Zeng Gong, Chen Ke and other disciples. There are also old friends such as Mei Yaochen, Cai Xiang, and Han Wei. and a new friend in the literary world that he has recently met and greatly admired......
Zeng Gong arrived with a group of brothers, Zeng Bu was holding a gift in his hand, Zeng Gong arched his hand to Ouyang Fa, and smiled together: "Congratulations on the New Year!" ”
"Congratulations, congratulations!" Ouyang smiled and said: "Brothers, go inside, my father has been nagging for a long time, why are a few boys so late today?" ”
"Alas, ashamed. Yesterday, Jiayou Society held a New Year reception in Yipinlou, and I was also dragged away. Zeng Gong smiled bitterly: "As a result, I accidentally drank and got drunk until I was ready." ”
"Oh, hasn't my brother always been able to drink no more than three glasses?" Ouyang Fa wondered: "There are times when there are exceptions? ”
"I didn't make an exception, it was the wine they made me drink, it was too strong...... Zeng Gong smiled bitterly: "After drinking that kind of wine, I feel that I drank all the water I drank before......"
"What wine is so strong?"
"I don't know." Zeng Gong shook his head. Zeng Bu said: "It's a fellow villager of Zhongfang, that is, the wine merchant of Huangjiao Wine, a newly brewed wine, which has not yet been named, and said that it was brought to Uncle Ouyang to taste today, probably because he wanted the leader of the literary world to give it a name." ”
"Then I'll have to try it later." Ouyang smiled and sent the Zeng brothers in, and then greeted the next wave of guests: "Uncle Mei's New Year." You have a good day today, saying that it is my brother of the Chen family, and he wants to bring new wine. ”
Uncle Mei is Mei Yaochen, the one who served as the auctioneer in Fan Lou that day, this is a veteran talent, who has a good relationship with Ouyang Xiu, and has the name of Boyazi. When he heard this, he laughed and said, "That's great, you must drink it today." ”
Not long after Mei Yaochen entered, Han Wei and Cai Xiang came together. Not long after the two entered, Chen Ke and his brothers arrived, and sure enough, they brought twenty jars of wine.
"Third brother, congratulations on the New Year!" Ouyang Xiu's eight-year-old youngest son, Ouyang Wen, specially greeted him. There is no way, who made Chen Ke have a big face, of course, this face was also transferred with a car of New Year's gifts
"Come monk," Chen Ke picked up Ouyang Wei, turned around a few times, and laughed: "Turn around, run around!" After a few years of dating, he and the Ouyang family have become like relatives.
After putting the little monk down and the brothers went in, Chen Ke whispered to Ouyang Fa: "Later, my future father-in-law and two eldest brothers will come, you can take care of it." This reminder is necessary, the son of the leader of the literary world, even if he is not arrogant, it is impossible to greet everyone with a smile. With the temper of his father-in-law, what if he collapses?
His worries were not superfluous, and after a while, he met the old-fashioned Su Laoquan, took his two sons, and came to the door of Oufu with a thin gift.
Since it was Chen Ke's father-in-law, Ouyang Fa hurriedly took a step forward and said with a deep salute: "Uncle Su and the two world brothers, please." ”
"Hmm." Su Xun only nodded, mumbled, and walked in. Only the embarrassed brothers were left and apologized to Ouyang...... This year, my father's ambition was difficult to pay, and his temperament became more and more cynical. …,
"Don't tight, don't tight." Ouyang smiled gently. But he said in his heart, no wonder Third Brother Chen wants to remind me, this good guy is really bearable. couldn't help but secretly sympathize with Chen Kelai...... There is such a father-in-law on the stall.
However, he had a very good impression of Su Xun's two sons, and he hugged his fists and smiled: "Zizhan and Brother Ziyou, I have really admired the name for a long time!" ”
At this time, Su Shi was already a well-known talent in Beijing, but his fame was spread by famous prostitutes. Seeing that even Ouyang Xiu's son had heard of him, he was secretly happy at first, and then worried, lest he leave the impression that he was not doing his job properly.
However, after all, he was Su Shi, who had a first-class affinity, and soon got along with Ouyang Xiu's sons......
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
When it was nearly noon, Ouyang Fa felt that the guests had almost arrived, so he ordered the door to be closed...... Ouyang Xiu wants to entertain guests and friends today, so naturally he doesn't want anyone to disturb him.
Then he saw a man with a dark face, wearing a bowler cotton hat and a brown silk robe...... When I got closer, oh it wasn't a greasy cloth robe. In short, such a slightly sloppy master, with a book in his hand, walked past his door while reading.
"It's a dead end inside." Ouyang Gongzi kindly reminded.
When the man heard this, he raised his head blankly, first looked at the front, sure enough, it was a wall, then looked back at him, closed the book and said, "May I ask the little brother, is this Ouyang Bachelor's Mansion?" ”
"Yes." Ouyang Fa said with a smile while letting people close the door: "There is a banquet at home today, my father doesn't see any outsiders, so my friend will come back another day." He has seen a lot of Luotuo scholars with such strange behaviors, just to be different and attract his father's attention in order to become famous.
"Oh, I'm the one invited by Master Ouyang to dinner." As he spoke, the man reached out and pulled out a crumpled invitation.
Ouyang Fa's eyes were round when he posted it, it was indeed an invitation sent out by the family, it couldn't be that someone lost it and let this guy pick it up, right? Suspiciously, he took it and opened it to see that the guest's name was - Wang Anshi -
