"Song Yan?" The aunt looked at Dou Zhao in astonishment, very surprised.

"yes!" Dou Zhao was full of interest, "His parents are dead, there is no one else in the family, follow Mr. Song in Zhending for those years, you have also seen, the personality is the most generous, if you can recruit him, it would be great!" ”

My aunt came to her senses. Seeing Dou Zhao's serious appearance, he was angry and funny, and said, "You won't make a temporary decision, right?" ”

If I said that it was a temporary decision, my aunt would definitely refuse it with the prudence of my aunt.

Dou Zhao flatly denied: "Of course not." I originally had this plan, but the Song family's foundation is too thin, and you said that you want to find someone from a scholar's family, and only Song Yan is the most suitable. She said, forcing her aunt to make up her mind, "You just said that it is feasible or not, right?" If you can see it, while Mr. Song and Song Yan have not returned to their hometowns, I will ask Yantang to come forward to help be this big matchmaker. If you're not satisfied, we'll find a solution. As she spoke, she muttered in a low voice, "Isn't it better to have fewer three aunts and six uncles in the family?" And Song Yan is what we watched grow up, we know the roots, how can there be a more suitable candidate than this? ”

Since you want to recruit a son-in-law, the family must be a thin heir, although before the marriage will be set up property inheritance, maintenance and other deeds, but with the father old and decrepit, the son-in-law is shrewd and capable, and gradually grows stronger, and finally seeks the woman's money and then marries another wife and has children.

From this point of view, Song Yan's conduct is really speechless.

It's just that the woman put it forward, obviously there is some dislike for catching ducks on the shelves.

My aunt hesitated.

The more Dou Zhao thought about it, the more he felt that Song Yan was suitable - not only was he handsome, but he also had a gentle personality, was diligent and loyal. When the uncle and aunt are old in the future, with Song Yan to take care of them, they will definitely have a good life.

Seeing this, she hurriedly said: "Whether it works or not, we have to try, right?" My cousins are twenty years old, how many more years can you keep them? ”

My aunt thought about it, but she still made a steady move, and said, "You probe the wind, if the Song family has this intention, it will not be too late for us to propose marriage at that time." ”

Dou Zhao let out an "um" sound. happily went to the flower hall in front.

Song Mozheng was talking to Song Yan: "...... Didn't expect us to be home? Don't know where you are? How old is it? What did your father do? Who else is in the family? Have you read a book? ”

Mr. Song only thought that Song Mo was curious when he met someone with the same surname, and he didn't doubt it, so Song Yan wouldn't doubt it. He replied respectfully one by one: "I am from Quzhou, I just won the championship this year, and my father was originally a showman. I died of illness when I was three years old, and when I was seven years old, my mother also died of illness, and there was no one in the family. I followed my uncle for a few years and knew a few words. ”

He was humble and polite, and Song Mo couldn't help nodding secretly. He also asked, "Since you have passed the crown, can you take another word?" ”

"Taken!" Song Yan said, "Uncle gave me the word 'Qianli'. ”

Song Mo listened, and his smile became even kinder. "Then what books do you usually read?" Have you ever played a show? ”

"I usually just follow my uncle to read some four books and five classics, but my uncle said that my level is limited, and it is not too late for me to read for a few more years."

Song Mo knew that the Jiangnan style was at its peak, and it was much more difficult to test a talent than in the north. Moreover, Song Yan's parents died, and Song Hemin sat in the museum in Zhending again. I really set a trip to Jiangnan for thousands of miles, which cost a lot, and I am afraid that it is also one of the reasons why I did not return to my hometown for scientific research.

"Now that you're ready to go down, do you want to come to the art of making some experience?" He laughed.

Song Yan was modest as usual: "But I just learned to write, so I can only be regarded as not out of shape." ”

Song Mo said with a smile: "Last time I saw a question in my father-in-law's house, 'Knowing so self-cultivation, fitting the next section', this 'knowing so self-cultivation' I know, it is 'knowing so self-cultivation, then knowing so governing people; If you know how to govern people, you will know how to govern the world and the country. I just don't know what this 'Couplet' is. ”

It turned out that Song Youmin, Dou Zhengchang, and Dou Dechang, who were looking at them with a smile, couldn't help but smile.

This is a "truncation question", which requires the artist to be familiar with the Four Books and the Five Classics, and it is the most difficult topic in the art system.

Song Mo said that he didn't know what the next sentence was, and Song Youmin, Dou Zhengchang, and Dou Dechang naturally didn't believe it. But Song Yan and Song Mo have no grievances, what does he mean by embarrassing Song Yan like this?

Song Youmin couldn't help but sit up straight.

Brothers Dou Zhengchang and Dou Dechang exchanged glances in surprise.

Song Yan said with a smile, "It is the middle of the mean, 'all the countries in the world have nine classics, said self-cultivation, respect for the virtuous, kissing, respecting the ministers, the body of the ministers, the children and the people, the hundred workers, the Rouyuan people, and the princes." ”

He also heard some sound, this fourth aunt of the Dou family, the prince of the British Mansion, is going to test him!

But why!

Compared with Song Mo, he is from a humble background and famous, so he has nothing to do with this nobleman, how can he stare at himself?

Song Yan was full of confusion.

Seeing Song Mo looking at him intently, he said with a smile: "The principle of self-cultivation in "The Mean" should be used by all the perpetrators of government. ”

Song Yan didn't understand what Song Mo meant for a while, and after a while, he realized that Song Mo was making an art chapter with the title of "Knowing So Cultivating Yourself, Closing the Next Section".

But what is he looking at himself?

Song Yan muttered quietly in his heart.

Song Mo looked at him but smiled silently.

Song Yan suddenly realized.

Song Mo, this is for him to continue to do the next chapter!

He couldn't help but be dumbfounded.

Song Mo slowly picked up the teacup, took a sip gently, and praised: "Yinquill disclosure, it's really good tea!" ”

The Dou family entertained them today with Jiangxi Shuangjing green tea.

Song Yan couldn't help sweating on his forehead, and looked at Song and the people as if asking for help.

The Dou brothers and Song Youmin came to their senses, Dou Dechang was about to save the scene, who knew that Song Mo had asked Song Youmin with a smile: "Where did Mr. Song settle down?" ”

Song Youmin couldn't figure out Song Mo's intentions, and said vaguely: "At a friend's house? ”

Song Mo asked: "In the east of the city, or in the west of the city?" Which square? ”

Song Youmin frowned almost invisibly.

In this way, the prince of the British government, he has heard many people mention it in these days in Kyoto, not to mention his illustrious background, and his means and strategies should not be underestimated. He is just a small reader, so he naturally avoids it if he can, and endures it if he can.

"Four alleys in Chong'anfang in the west of the city." Song and Mindao, "Borrow to live at a friend's house!" ”

Song Mo smiled and nodded, his eyes fell on Song Yan's body again, as if urging him to hurry up and take on the topic.

Fortunately, Song Yan's skills are not good, and he was going to end up when he returned to his hometown with his uncle, but he has been focusing on the art system for the past two years, and he took a deep breath. calmed down, thought about half a pillar of incense, and said: "The act is a political scripture, and those who push it by themselves have their own order. Even if you don't want to repair it, you can't help it. "The Mean" is here, and the government should be in charge. And they themselves are also pushing in politics. Although the tone is a little hesitant, the chapter is smooth and natural, coherent.

The most important thing in this topic is to connect the sentences before and after it. What's more, it was Song Mo who broke the problem, and Song Yan took the question.

The eyes of the people in the room lit up.

Song Yan couldn't help but secretly breathe a sigh of relief, a little more confident in his heart, and continued: "Unintentionally? Zi pondered Confucius's words to answer the public and ask about politics, saying that the husband is a politician and the solid lies in self-cultivation. The Principle of My Body. That is, in the principle of people, sincerely know that so self-cultivation, then morality and Taoism...... The reason of one person is the reason of ten thousand...... However, the country of the world cannot be left untreated. There are nine regular politicians......"

Someone suddenly high-fived outside the flower hall: "What a 'one person's reason, that is, the principle of ten thousand people'!" ”

Everyone followed the prestige, and saw Dou Shiying, who was wearing court clothes, walking in with a smile.

"Wanli, I didn't expect your knowledge to be so solid!"

Everyone got up and saluted Dou Shiying. The host and guest sat down again.

Dou Shiying smiled: "How do you start making art?" ”

The eyes of Song Youmin and the others fell on Song Mo's body.

Song Mo was undifferent, and said with a smile: "It's nothing to do." Just chatted a few words. ”

As a scholar, Dou Shiying naturally hoped that Song Mo would also be well-educated, and when he heard this, he immediately became interested and asked what was going on.

Dou Zhengchang hurriedly told what happened, which made Dou Shiying's heart itch, and discussed the art seal with Song Youmin.

Song Mo found an excuse and found Dou Zhao: "What did my aunt say?" ”

"It's done!" Dou Zhao showed a victorious expression, "As long as the Song family also has this meaning, they can settle the family affairs." ”

"I'm afraid that there will be some trouble on the Song family's side." Song Mo told Dou Zhao about his examination of Song Yan, "Since he has such good knowledge, he must be admitted to the imperial examination, but I am afraid that he will not agree to be admitted to the school." ”

Dou Zhao opened his mouth wide and said, "No wonder my uncle and aunt haven't found a suitable husband for my cousin after all these years." ”

"It's not impossible, though." Song Mo made a decision, but he was much more tenacious than Dou Zhao, he muttered, "I have inquired about Song Hemin's residence, and I will personally visit Song Hemin later, and it is bound to make him agree to this family business-since Song Qianli grew up eating hundreds of family meals and has received the favor of Song Hemin, if Song Youmin agrees, can he still agree?" ”

"Then how are you going to get Mr. Song to agree?" In Dou Zhao's impression, although Mr. Song is gentle, he is not a good old man who has no opinions.

"People have weaknesses." Song Mo said, "It's a little too late, I'll contact him first." ”

That's all there is to it.

Dou Zhao was a little frustrated.

It didn't go well to be a matchmaker twice in a row, she really didn't have the potential to be a matchmaker, and after finding a wishful husband for Zhangru's cousin, she would never care about this kind of thing again.

One of the two went back to the backyard, and the other went back to the flower hall.

After lunch, Song Youmin and Song Yan said goodbye.

After a pillar of incense, Song Mo and Dou Zhao also left the alley of Jing'an Temple.

Dou Dechang pestered Dou Shiying: "Seventh uncle, 'Knowing so self-cultivation, close the next section', is your question to the fourth brother-in-law?" ”

"I didn't!" Dou Shiying said curiously, "Isn't it Mr. Song's question?" ”

How dare he give Song Mo such a difficult question, if Song Mo can't answer it, wouldn't it ruin their relationship with their son-in-law?

Dou Zhengchang and Dou Dechang couldn't help but look at each other.

Dou Shiying was anxious: "What the hell is going on?" Tell me about it! ”
