Chapter 190: The Villain's Meanness
Jiao Hong, who was over the age of old, moved his white eyebrows, pressed the armrest of the drunkard's chair, leaned forward, and asked, "Do you still say anything?" β
A sentence "holding a tea boy is the way" is like a wonderful breakthrough in the eight-strand text, which can play a preemptive effect, but to make Jiao Zhuangyuan, who is rich in five cars, have the idea of loving talents, there must be a more wonderful explanation, Zhang Yuan said: "Self-cultivation is also like holding tea, even if it is a person with strong will, at this realm, you must be cold, respectful, and unambiguous, this is the research few; If you don't dare to hide it, this is prudence; Flat and plain, don't do likes and dislikes, call a gentleman, and rely on the mean. β
Jiao Hong looked at Zhang Yuan and asked, "How old are you?" β
Zhang Yuan said: "The student is sixteen years old. β
Jiao Hong turned his head to look at Huang Ruheng and asked, "Father, what do you think of Zhang Yuan's tea boy?" β
Huang Ruheng said happily: "Wonderful, this is the one who has read through "The Mean", students in the world, there are more than 10 million people who have read "The Mean", and it is rare to be able to comprehend this point. β
"Yes, yes." Jiao Hong nodded frequently, seeing such a studious and thoughtful junior, this late-blooming Jiao Zhuangyuan was very happy, and praised: "This son is a genius, and he has the early wisdom of Wang Fuheiββ"
Zhang Yuan was quite unhappy when he heard Jiao Zhuangyuan compare him to Wang Fuhei, Wang Fuhei was Wang Bi, the ancestor of Wei and Jin metaphysics, who was a man of empty talk and discernment, and died very early - Huang Ruheng added: "It is also very studious, and it is said that I am very attentive to the lectures in the grass hall, and my homework is good." β
Jiao Hong said: "Zhang Yuan and Zong Yishan, since you two are willing to be taught under the old man, then the old man will accept you, Mr. Yu Yong is your teacher, and I Jiao Xiaohou is also your teacher." β
Zhang Yuan and Zong Yishan are overjoyed, bow down together, Zong Yishan's joy can be imagined, Jiao Taishi is famous all over the world, and his reputation is better than Dong Qichang, and he can worship Jiao Taishi as a teacher, this is to have the help of nobles, of course, Zong Yishan knows in his heart that his friend Zhang Yuan is the biggest noble person in his life, without Zhang Yuan's guidance, he will never be able to take this first step - Jiao Hong feels that Zong Yishan does not need to be reminded, Zong Yishan is from a humble background, and he is in his twenties, so he must be more stable, and Zhang Yuan became famous as a young man, or he was arrogant and arrogant, so he must be vigilant and said: "Zhang Yuan, your argument is quite subtle, but do you know that there is also a gentleman's meanness and a villain's mean?"
Zhang Yuan knew that Teacher Jiao was going to teach him a lesson, and said respectfully: "The students can't tell the difference yet, please ask the teacher for advice." β
Jiao Hong said: "The root organ is shallow, the intelligence is sluggish, the air is noisy, and there is nothing to fear, this is the mean of the villain." β
Zhang Yuan said: "Students remember the teacher's teachings. The heart said: "The troubled times are coming, and I am worried too much about how to help the world, and my belief must be adhered to." β
Jiao Hong, who had hair like snow, was quite satisfied with Zhang Yuan's humble posture, and it was late at this time, so Jiao Hong left Zhang Yuan and Zong Yishan to have dinner in Nanyuan, and then wrote a letter to Dong Qichang, saying that he pitied Zong Yishan's talent, and now he has accepted him as a disciple.
Zhang Yuan and Zong Yishan resigned from the South Garden, it was already dark, and the half-round bright moon hung high in the sky, and it was visible in all directions, Mu Zhenzhen was waiting by the garden gate, Zhang Yuan said: "I'm really hungry, right?" β
Mu Zhenzhen shook his head and said, "The maid is not hungry." β
Zhang Yuan said with a straight face: "Are you hungry or not?" I don't like to hear lies. β
Mu Zhenzhen knew that the young master didn't want to scold her, but he was a little ridiculous, so he lowered his head and said softly: "Back to the young master's words, the maid is a little hungry." β
"That's right if you're hungry." Zhang Yuan took out three oranges from the bottom of his sleeve and handed them to Mu Zhenzhen, saying: "This is Hangzhou Tangqi orange, you taste it, how is it better than our Shanyin Xie orange?" β
Mu Zhenzhen hesitated for a moment, and then quickly took it, the orange had not yet been eaten, and his heart was sweet first.
The three of them just bypassed the Leifeng Tower, but saw Qin Minping with Ma Kuoqi and a few other local soldiers and Wuling to find it, Wuling waited for the young master to come back in the weaving department, and waited until it was almost dark and there was no trace of the young master and Zhenzhen sister, Wuling was a little panicked, so he went to beg Qin Minping to come to the grass hall to find it, the grass hall waiter said that Zhang Gongzi and a few people went to the South Park under the Leifeng Tower, Qin Minping, Wu Ling and others found the South Park - from the South Park to the weaving department outside the Yongjin Gate, there are more than five miles of road, and there is no lantern on the road under the moon, Zhang Yuan and Qin Minping walked and talked, Qin Minping arrived yesterday, and he had no time to talk to Zhang Yuan for a long time, and then informed Zhang Yuan that his brother-in-law Shi Zhu Xuanfu made Ma Qiancheng infected in Yunyang Prison and was not treated in time, and now although he has been released from prison, his condition is serious and has not improved, otherwise Ma Qiancheng would personally come to the first incense for Eunuch Zhong's ancestral hall.
According to Zhang Yuan's understanding of historical facts, Ma Qiancheng died in Yunyang Prison, Qin Liangyu succeeded Shizhu Xuanfu envoy, the Ming Dynasty implemented a certain degree of autonomy for the Tusi tribe, and did not send court officials to govern, Tusi is hereditary, and the son is a wife, and now Ma Qiancheng is alive out of Yunyang Prison, I don't know what will happen in the future, but Qin Liangyu has already gone on many expeditions with her husband, and this heroine will never be unknown - back to the Weaving Department, Eunuch Zhong's godson Xiao Gao is also waiting for Zhang Yuan to come back, and he is busy saying: "Zhang Gongzi, My godfather asked Zhang Gongzi to discuss something. β
Zhang Yuan followed Xiao Gao to the study room in the inner courtyard of the office, and Eunuch Zhong was very much looking forward to the incense ceremony of the ancestral hall in the Ming Dynasty.
Zhang Yuan said: "Jiao Taishi agreed to accept me and Zong Yishan as disciples, and dinner was also used in the South Garden, the deputy envoy of Bao, and Jiao Taishi borrowed to live in the South Garden." β
"Jiao Weak Hou Jiao Zhuangyuan has accepted you as a disciple!" Eunuch Zhong looked at Zhang Yuan with wide eyes, and suddenly became a little indignant, and said, "Why are you so likable, and our family is so unpopular?" β
Eunuch Zhong also regarded Zhang Yuan as his own person, so he would send such a scratch in front of Zhang Yuan, and when the scratch was issued, it means that he has no guilt, otherwise he will hold a grudge to hide it - Zhang Yuan hurriedly asked: "What does my father-in-law mean by this, who dares to offend my father-in-law?" β
Eunuch Zhong sat back in the circle chair and said with frustration: "Who has the courage to offend our family, isn't it your teacher Jiao Zhuangyuan, our family admires his reputation as a champion, and the deputy envoy asked him for a 'Zhong's ancestral hall', the old Jiao refused, saying that he didn't write this entertainment text, in fact, where did he not write the entertainment text, it was obvious that he looked down on our family." β
Eunuch Zhong is indeed very angry, but he can only scratch his hair, Jiao Hong has a great reputation, and he is not an official, he just lectures, what can he Eunuch Zhong do?
Zhang Yuan shook his head secretly, Eunuch Zhong has gone a little too far for this ancestral hall, and the dignified champion will give you a eunuch sketch of the ancestral hall, which makes people lose face!
Zhang Yuan comforted Eunuch Zhong a few words, but listened to Eunuch Zhong say: "Gongzi Zhang, this is this matter that our family is looking for you to discuss at this time, Jiao Xiaohou does not write to our family, our family will ask for another person, your uncle Su Weng is both good in learning and famous, how about asking Su Weng to write a life hall for our family?" We have a lot of thanks. β
Zhang Yuan secretly shouted: "Oops, it's not easy to make friends with a eunuch, eunuchs are sometimes unreasonable, you have to follow his surname, you can't mess with him-"
Eunuch Zhong stared at Zhang Yuan with blazing eyes, waiting for Zhang Yuan's reply.
Zhang Yuan said: "Gonggong Zhong also knows that I am studying in the Hall, and I will not return to Shanyin until the end of next month, and my father-in-law will make a record of the ancestral hall, and he must set up a monument in front of the ancestral hall.
Speaking of this, Zhang Yuan paused intentionally, and Eunuch Zhong really asked, "Then who should you ask to make a note according to your opinion?" In fact, our family is not in a hurry, and it is not too late to engrave a monument at the end of the year. β
Zhang Yuan said: "The ancestral hall is a lifelong event for my father-in-law, I will never dare to hide my private interests as much as I can, as long as my father-in-law has a lot of money, I would like to beg Mr. Jiao to make a note for my father-in-lawββ"
Eunuch Zhong was overjoyed, and said in a loud voice: "If you can ask Jiao Zhuangyuan to make a record for our family, how much silver do you want, although you say, is three thousand taels of silver enough?" Or maybe it's just five thousand taels? β
Eunuchs are often more famous than scholars, because eunuchs have a deep inferiority complex in their bones.
Zhang Yuan said: "I just said that I tried my best to plead, but it was difficult to say, Mr. Jiao was old and virtuous, and he wanted to ask him to write such a monument, I was completely unsure, but I was just grateful for the friendship between my father-in-law and me, so I tried to beg for it." β
Eunuch Zhong was whetted by Zhang Yuan, and said gratefully: "Our family knows that you are the most kind, and you are not like others who flatter our family on the surface, but behind your back you scold our family for being a gelding dog - you just do your best, whether it succeeds or not, our family will receive your love, of course, if you can do it best, our family can afford to pay as much money as you want." β
Zhang Yuan said: "Father-in-law, I said bluntly, ask Jiao Zhuangyuan to write a record for the ancestral hall, that is, the eunuchs who are now the master of ceremonies do not have this face, even if they give out ten thousand taels of silver, Jiao Zhuangyuan is disdainful - father-in-law, don't worry, since I said that I asked Jiao Zhuangyuan to make a note for you, I will never prevaricate my father-in-law, although I am not very sure, there are still five or six points, but I must go around to ask for ββ"
Eunuch Zhong asked impatiently: "Why do you go back and ask for it?" β
Zhang Yuan said: "My father-in-law also knows that this year's Zhejiang first drought and then flood, many places have been affected, and there are hungry people who have starved to death in various places. The inscription of the Nursing Home can be stored in the ancestral hall, and Jiao Zhuangyuan's reputation is borrowed, and these three points are the most important, Zhong Gonggong built the Father-in-law's Nursing Home under the Gem Mountain, and those who have received the favor of the father-in-law will always go up the mountain to incense the ancestral hall, even if the father-in-law is a hundred years later, the incense will not be broken, and no one dares to destroy the temple of the father-in-law, and the children and grandchildren of the workhouse will desperately maintain the ancestral temple of the father-in-law- What about public opinion? β
Zhang Yuan is not digging Eunuch Zhong's money, it is indeed for the sake of Eunuch Zhong, Eunuch Zhong has no queen, what to do with so much silver, guiding him to do some good deeds is the real friendship, well, Yang and Yicang of Shanyin also have to let Eunuch Zhong give some silver-
