Chapter Twenty-Five: Wounding Zhongyong
(Ask for tickets, recommend tickets, big brothers and sisters, who has it...... --Chen Xiliang asked San Lang to decoction medicine, Goro was optimistic about his younger brother, Erlang went to the tea shop to order tea and refreshments, and he himself took a few round stools and invited Su Xun and Song Fu to talk in the shade of the patio. "San Lang is deeply familiar with the way of Qi Huang, I don't know how to read?" Su Xun took a sip of white water and asked. "I'm afraid I won't be able to catch up with your Erlang......" Chen Xiliang said modestly. Poof...... 'If it weren't for the quick tilting of his head, Song Fu would have almost squirted Su Xun. He understands the two boys of the Su family, although the third male Su Zhe is not as good as the second male Su Shi, but he is also a rare genius who has seen and recited and exported chapters. Chen Xiliang said that his own San Lang is afraid that he is not as good as Su Shi, but the implication is that he is a step higher than Su Zhe, can this be called self-humility? The daughter-in-law is the good of the family, and the children are the good of the family. Su Xun naturally didn't believe it, if he hadn't seen San Lang busy decocting medicine, he would have called him over for a test. "Now I finally don't let Lao Quan Zhuanmei." Song Fu laughed, and reminded Chen Xiliang again: "But prodigies may not all be successful. Do you still remember the famous Fang Zhongyong a few years ago? "Why don't you remember." Chen Xiliang and Su Xun replied together. Because of the boy's examination, a group of ministers such as Song Shou and Yan Shu were successively produced, and the prodigies of the Song Dynasty were widely sought after like stars, and they were regarded as characters who were destined to worship the prime minister. Describing their miraculous deeds is naturally popular and widely celebrated. Among them, the most representative is a Fuzhou prodigy named Fang Zhongyong. It is said that the child's family has been farmers for generations, and he has never seen paper, ink, pen and inkstone until he is five years old. One day, he suddenly cried for these things, but his father could not resist it, so he borrowed a pen and paper from a neighbor's house, and Nakayoung immediately wrote four lines of poetry and inscribed his own name. His father showed the poem to the readers in the township, and they all said that the poetry and truth were worth seeing. He also specified the topic and asked him to compose poems, and he could complete it immediately, and since then Fang Zhongyong has become synonymous with 'knowing without learning', and the name has spread all over the country, and even the Jianmen Pass has not been blocked. In the impression of Chen Su and the others, he was still the genius child, but when Song Fuyi reminded him, he realized that the child had to be in his early twenties. "Supposedly, it's long overdue for a junior sergeant." Su Xun said: "Why has there been no news?" "Alas, the boy is useless." Song Fu sighed and said: "It is in response to the sentence 'It's an hour, big may not be good'." "Can't you?" The two were surprised: "Who did you listen to?" "A few days ago, in the "Today's Anthology", I saw an article "Hurt Zhongyong", which is to write about his recent situation." Song Fu thought about it for a while, and recited the short article. After listening to Fang Zhongyong's unseen experience, Chen and Su were both embarrassed, Su Xun shook his head and said, "How could his father take him everywhere for a momentary benefit and abandon his studies." is a good prodigy, but he was born in such a short-sighted and ignorant family, but unfortunately, it's a pity ......" "Exactly," Chen Xiliang also nodded and said: "The more prodigy he is, the more he must be strictly controlled, and he can't be let fluttering, otherwise he will waste his studies and become a waste." "The two of them, who were still secretly competing, are now united again. San Lang in the kitchen suddenly shuddered, as if he had a feeling of impending disaster. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ topic finally left the child, Chen Xiliang asked, "By the way, how did you find it?" "I thought that if you took care of your family affairs, you would go back to Meishan." Su Xun picked up the topic in front of the door and said, "Who knew that I waited until the day of registration, and I still didn't see you." said with a happy face: "Fortunately, you left your family and documents in the room, and I and Churen can help you report your name." He said it simply, but Chen Xiliang was not the first time to take the exam, so he naturally knew that it was very troublesome to register for the exam. Not only did he have to be present in person, he was subjected to a series of cross-examinations, but he also had to find five fellow security officers...... Now that I'm not there, the trouble will naturally become 100 percent, and I don't know how many people the two of them have taken and how much effort it took to register themselves. "Thank you two Gaoyi, Xiliang will remember it in my heart." Chen Xiliang got up and hugged his fists. "If you make friends, why bother." Su Xun and Song Fu shook their heads and smiled: "Everything is done, it's already three days ago, and the two of us discussed going to Shiwan Village to see what happened to you." "Well, don't mention it." Chen Xiliang said with a gloomy expression: "How did you find here?" "Actually, we didn't get through the door." Su Xun said: "Your brother and sister-in-law said that you have already separated, and I don't know where you have moved." "Later, it was one of your nephews who secretly told us that your family had moved to the county seat." Song Fu said: "We looked for it yesterday, but it was already dark, so we could only find an inn to stay in first. "Look at your residence...... Su Xun looked at the dilapidated house and said, "I'm afraid I'm in trouble." "Hey......" Chen Xiliang laughed self-deprecatingly: "The heavens will descend on me." ”
Heaven will descend on people, and they must first suffer their minds, strain their muscles and bones, empty their bodies, and act chaotically...... Chen Xiliang used a self-ridicule to explain his situation. "......" Song Fu was silent for a moment, and said in a low voice: "Hardship and hardship, Yuru is successful." Gongbi, it will pass. ”
"Yes......" Su Xun also said: "Grit your teeth and hold on, with your talents, this subject must be high school." When the time comes, they will return to their hometowns in fine clothes and see what they are doing! ”
"What is this subject...... Chen Xiliang lowered his head and said with some difficulty: "I don't plan to take the test." "Why is that?" Su Xun and Song Fu were surprised: "I only wait for once in four years, how can I give up easily?" ”
"It's not that I give up lightly, I've been thinking about it for many days......" Thinking of the scene where his three sons were locked up in the firewood room and tortured, Chen Xiliang was lost. He raised his head and said calmly: "My children are still too young, and there is no mother, I can't leave them for so long." ”
"You're worried about them." Song Fu said: "Let them move to my house, just be a companion with my kid." ”
"Let's go to my place." Su Xun said: "My Hun family is also a good teacher, and I won't let them waste their studies." ”
"Thank you two Gao Yi, I appreciate your kindness......" Chen Xiliang was moved, but he knew very well that these two friends were not much more generous than himself, and his own family burden was very heavy. I can't afford the food, clothing, housing, transportation, tuition and miscellaneous expenses of the four children.
What's more, he had already secretly sworn that he would never let his children live that kind of life under the fence again!
"But I've made up my mind, I'll put everything else aside and raise a few children first." So he firmly declined the kindness of the two and said: "The imperial examination is held once in a few years, and there will always be a chance to ...... in the future" He said with a light sigh: "But just like the story of "Hurt Zhongyong", children's education is only once, and if you miss it, you will never have a chance. ”
The two knew that he had a tough temperament and never repented of what he decided, and they understood that it was useless to persuade him.

"So, what are you going to do for a living?" Su Xun asked again.
"As long as you are willing to work hard, the Great Song Dynasty will not starve to death." Chen Xiliang looked at his obviously rough hands and said, "I can feed our five masters!" ”
"It's better to move to Meishan, how to say that it is also a mansion, it is much larger than here, and it is easy to find a living by writing, calculating, teaching and copying." Su Xun invited: "It's really not good, you can also ask Lord Zhizhou to find an errand in the government." ”
"No, although Qingshen County is not as big as Meishan," Chen Xiliang shook his head and said: "But there is one thing that Meishan can't compare." ”
"What?"
"Academy." Chen Xiliang said with a smile: "In a few years, your kid will have to come here to study, why should I toss back and forth?" ”
"That's ......" There is a Zhongyan Academy in Meishan, which was set up by the great Confucian Wang Fang who was born in Jinshi. Before, there were very few people in Sichuan who could enter the Jinshi, and most of the people who were successful settled as officials abroad, and those like Wang Fang resolutely returned to his hometown to run a school and teach and educate people, which is really an outlier.
But Wang Fang's efforts were not in vain, his students all had high schools, and the reputation of Zhongyan Academy became more and more famous, and even students from Meishan County, the capital city, also came to visit him - having such good educational resources at his doorstep was the reason why Chen Xiliang moved to Qingshen County at home.
"Actually, it's good to go out a few years later," Su Xun said half-comfortingly, half-truthfully: "You don't know yet, Fan Xianggong's Qingli New Deal has failed......"
"Impossible!" Even if he said that he wanted to give up the exam, Chen Xiliang had a calm face, but at this moment he finally changed color and said: "It's only been a year!" Didn't it be said at last month's meeting that the new policy had achieved remarkable results, and the ministers of the Manchu Dynasty praised it? Why did it fail this month? ”
"It's all old news from the past at the literary meeting," Song Fu shook his head and said: "We learned from Zhizhou, the adults are students of Fan Gong, and when they saw the news of Fan Gong and Fu Xianggong's transfer in the Di Bao, they cried a lot, so naturally there will be no fake." ”
"The official family, isn't the official family impassioned and trying to make the country prosperous?" Chen Xiliang said sadly.
"It is the official family who issued an edict to completely abolish the new policy and release the two ministers." Su Xun said angrily: "Now the court is in chaos, and the old party headed by Xia Xianggong is attacking the new party as a friend. Since ancient times, emperors have been taboo about ministers forming friends, and although today's officials are lenient and benevolent, they are no exception......"
"I heard that in order to attack the old party, Xia Xianggong even asked a maid in the family to copy Mr. Lai's handwriting every day, and it was written exactly the same as his own handwriting, so he forged a secret letter written by Mr. Xiang Lai to Fu Xianggong, saying that he wanted to abolish the official family. Then he presented the letter to the official family, and publicized it everywhere, framing the New Party for plotting to establish another emperor. So rumors spread, and people were panicked......"
"Shameless! Shameless! Chen Xiliang scolded angrily: "Is my Great Song Dynasty going to ruin the villain?!" ”
