Chapter 117: If you don't fight, you fight (1280 votes plus more)
Scholars have three stands, virtue and meritorious service. Fang Yingwu is diligently using his own unique knowledge and ability to work hard according to this three-position template.
In this regard, the status of the rivers and lakes is too low, and Fang Xiucai has not been able to save the people from fire and water, and give favors to one side.
At most, brush up the small prestige of filial piety, and also take advantage of the shadow of his father's great glory, the fox and the fake tiger reprimanded the Chun'an students who were content with pleasure, taught the arrogant Suzhou scholars, and questioned the cowardly and timid Hanlin. This is how Shilin's fame was built bit by bit.
In terms of meritorious service, Xiao Xiucai has no way to serve the country, and no one will entrust him with a heavy responsibility.
His greatest merit is to help his clansmen evade taxes, and to help Junping Jiangnan pay taxes. If you have the opportunity to enter politics in the future, you will focus on this aspect.
As for Liyan, Fang Yingwu still has done a lot of work, and poetry is one, but poetry is more entertaining, and there is always something missing, and articles are indeed not what Fang Yingwu is good at.
But yesterday, when he heard that a fellow villager bookstore had opened, Fang Yingwu used his brain, if he made an eight-strand essay test paper, edited it into a book, and then published it with a preface, it would not be a bad idea.
Immediately, the books spread all over the world, and the readers rushed to read, which can be regarded as borrowing flowers to offer Buddha and writing books, even if some people follow suit, they are also pioneers.
Fang Yingwu, a famous poet and educator, his representative works "Chenghua 14th Year Wuxu Branch Trial Anthology" and "Chenghua 13th Year Ding Youke Zhejiang Province Township Trial Anthology" still sound quite emotional, and it is not in vain to travel to many Chenghua Dynasty that have not yet opened.
Fang Yingwu was chatting with Yao Qian, and suddenly a son-in-law who was about twenty years old appeared beside him. said to Yao Qian: "Yao Yuanwai, you have invited me to come down." Is it meant to be hung out of the door? β
Yao Qian looked back and couldn't help but pat his forehead. Lian Daoqian said: "Sins and sins, they are all sins under it!" β
Seeing that he was gorgeously dressed, his waist was golden and jade, and his arrogant demeanor, Fang Yingwu guessed that this son's status was noble, and Yao Qian should have gone to meet and accompany him, but he forgot because he was talking to himself.
Thinking that he was also the reason for Yao Qian's slow treatment of guests, he had the intention to help Yao Qian exonerate him. took the initiative to explain to your son: "This is actually to blame for pulling Mr. Yao to speak, not "
The noble boy glanced at Fang Yingwu a few times. With a cold snort, he turned and walked away. Yao Qian smiled apologetically and hurriedly caught up.
Immediately, another person who looked like a shopkeeper replaced Yao Qian and continued to talk with Fang Yingwu. Fang Yingwu pointed to the young man's back and asked, "Who is this person?" β
The bookstore steward replied: "That is the son of a scholar in the current dynasty, known as Liu Ergongzi"
Fang Yingwu was taken aback, Second Prince Liu? Could it be Liu Mian's son? Look, this should be about the same age.
No wonder Yao Qian is respectful to this son, as the saying goes, the prime minister's family has seven grades, so the prime minister's son is at least five grades.
Thinking that he would have to deal with Liu Mian in the future, Fang Yingwu knew himself and his opponent. He asked again, "Is the shopkeeper familiar with the capital?" How is Liu Ergongzi a person? β
This kind of shopkeeper is a shrewd person who can observe words and feelings, and when he saw the close talk between his owner and Fang Yingwu just now, he felt a sense of proportion in his heart, and he didn't shy away from saying anything. 1510's introduction:
"This son is studying in the country because of his father's grace, and he still has talent, and he is proficient in poetry, lyrics and music. His tunes are also often circulated in the Faculty Division.
But this son has a romantic temperament, and there are many traces of him in the willow alley of Flower Street. He is now twenty years old and has not started a family. Just indulge in the pleasure of flowers, and is very famous in the capital.
Speaking of which. Liu Ergongzi is really an outlier in Beijing, and there are few children of the minister's family who are as unscrupulous as him, even if it is rumored. Fortunately, his father was a university scholar, otherwise he would not even be able to keep the prison quota, and he would have been expelled from the Guozi Prison. β
Fang Yingwu laughed a few times, it turned out that Liu Ergongzi was a merry and talented character. It's a pity that he was born in the wrong time and in the wrong place, he should have been born fifty years later, and he should have been born in the Jiangnan area. The current conservative Jingshi is not his stage.
At this time, hearing that the plaque began to hang outside, Fang Yingwu went out and witnessed the plaque rising with a group of congratulatory guests. Above the faΓ§ade, the four golden characters of "Zhongyi Bookstore" are very eye-catching in the sun.
Then the guests presented congratulatory poems, and the bookshop servants hurriedly hung the congratulatory messages on the four walls one by one.
Everyone walked around the hall and tasted their respective works, and Zuihou still had the most people under the song Seven Rules.
Someone couldn't help but chant loudly: "Concentrate on reading, rarely welcome, and sleep in the bookstore." The door is strong to the imperial palace of the imperial capital, and the windows are even repaired with bamboo and green clouds. The waiter recites the same as the endowment, and the passerby asks for Zhu Zizhang. I am ashamed of my mortal dusty face, and I am full of waves. β
Immediately applauded, and a white-haired old man nodded and said: "This article is recognized as the best, and Liu Gongzi's five words are secondary." β
Someone else looked at the payment and suddenly said: "Chun'an Fang Yingwu, isn't it the son of Fang Shuchang who is shackled by the wind and the incense of the city?" No wonder he has done such a good work, and his poems of loyalty and filial piety are also extremely haode, just used to encourage future generations, this one to persuade people to read, it is also okay. β
Quietly waiting to be praised by everyone, until others said that there was nothing to say, Fang Yingwu reluctantly stood up, saluted the crowd of onlookers, and said repeatedly: "Your predecessors have praised it falsely." β
was publicly touted in public, this is really the most beautiful in the world, and it is very good to enjoy Fang Yingwu, this is his first public appearance in the cultural circle of the capital, and he has made a good start.
But one person walked out of the crowd, it was none other than Liu Ergongzi. When others commented just now, they said "Liu Gongzi is not as good", which made him very annoyed, so he wanted to have a try.
Liu Ergongzi pointed to the wooden pillar in the inner hall and said: "I see that in this main hall, there is still a couplet missing on the column. Why don't I write a pair with my friends, and then ask Mr. Zhong to choose one after commenting? β
Fang Yingwu sighed, this kind of challenge is very difficult.
If he beats Liu Ergongzi, I am afraid that he will be even more unconvinced and continue to entangle. He is also Liu Mian's son. I can't humiliate him too unscrupulously.
But if you can't beat him, you will lose face in vain. The reputation is slightly damaged, or he is not happy. Maybe there will be rumors such as "Fang Xiucai is afraid of power and deliberately gives in".
Liu Mian's public morality is very bad, but his private morality in receiving people and things is okay, which makes people feel more comfortable - this is one of the reasons why he can stand.
But why don't Liu Mian's children follow their father? The young lady who has seen two sides looks very naughty, and the son in front of her looks so frivolous, is there really no one in the Liu family?
When Fang Yingwu was worried about Scholar Liu's tutor, he only heard Liu Ergongzi waving his hand and shouting, "Bring a pen!" β
Where books are sold, how can there be no pen, ink, paper and inkstone, and besides, today is the auspicious time to open, so there must be stationery. It is for the literati who came to cheer.
Immediately, two servants came to the crowd carrying a bookcase, and then they studied ink and laid paper. After getting ready, Liu Ergongzi stepped forward and stood on the side of the bookcase to brew his spirit.
Everyone held their breath and waited for Liu Ergongzi to splash ink, and for a while, the needle drop in the hall could be heard.
Liu Ergongzi closed for a moment, took a long breath, held the pen in the inkstone and clicked it, and immediately the dragon flew and the phoenix danced the pen and walked the dragon snake. Two large sentences were written.
Everyone looked at it intently, and the upper link of these two sentences was "a room of books self-cleaning", and the lower link was "a hundred schools of literature and history are full of romance".
"Good!" The cheers rang out one after another, this was not the sycophancy of the university scholar and the son. This is a genuine appreciation.
The pair's natural language and bookish breath are all the more appropriate and precise here. It's a good fit. And Liu Gongzi's penmanship is also good, mellow and fluent. There is a faint style of a famous artist.
Liu Ergongzi spit out the turbidity and heard everyone's praise. I can't help but feel proud. He was sure that he would dare to take on such a challenge, and this couplet was the work he had been working on for several days. Put it in this scenario, it will not be inferior to anyone.
After appreciating Liu Ergongzi's masterpiece, everyone gathered around to watch Fang Yingwu. Fang Yingwu didn't speak just now, and everyone didn't know what he was thinking, but they only knew it before he was on the bookcase.
This is really a hot thing, Fang Yingwu pondered for a moment, then stepped forward and set up in front of the bookcase.
Everyone held their breath and waited for Fang Yingwu's work. But seeing that Fang Yingwu's demeanor was relaxed and free, he lifted it lightly, and his actions were very chic. Compared with Liu Gongzi's great enemy and abyss, it seems to be much more relaxed and natural, and the characters are also better-looking
Fang Yingwu put down the word zuihou, retreated to the side of the bookcase, and invited everyone to watch. The pair of sentences written by Fang Yingwu was longer than Liu Ergongzi's, and everyone took a few more looks.
After a careful look, the upper link is "the unification of the Ming Dynasty, the society is in the golden ou, and the loyalty and righteousness are passed on", and the lower link is "the longevity of ten thousand years, the state family is solid as a rock, and the sainthood is eternal".
this
After seeing it, the unprepared people looked at each other, and they didn't know how to comment for a while, and the hall fell silent again.
Fang Yingwu's chuckle sounded, "Youjun have read it, do you think it's not good to write below?" β
"Good!" "Good!" "Good!"
When everyone heard Fang Yingwu's guided questioning, they woke up from their stunned and applauded one after another. The applause was louder, longer, and faster than when facing Liu Ergongzi's couplet just now.
The upper link means the unification of the Ming Dynasty, and the lower link means long live the emperor Bixia, who dares to say that Fang Yingwu is not well written? Who dares to say that Fang Yingwu writes poorly?
Everyone understands that Fang Yingwu is deliberately tricky, but no one can publicly accuse, so he can only acquiesce to "good". It's another thing to think in my heart, but I must say that Fang Yingwu writes better.
Besides, Fang Yingwu is not off-topic, but the realm is a little high. There is the word "Zhongyi" in the couplet, which fits the name of "Zhongyi Bookstore" and the theme of today's opening.
Liu Ergongzi's face was not very good-looking, and he was not convinced, compared with this kind of couplet, he must be a losing word, but he also knew that it was better to be his own.
Fang Yingwu smiled modestly, arched his hand and said: "It's also a trick to win in the next place, or Liu Gongzi is superior, concede, concede!" β
Everyone also saw that this was Fang Yingwu's deliberate but decent approach, and it was also very interesting for a sixteen or seventeen-year-old boy to play a little scoundrel in front of adults.
And talented but with a degree of advance and retreat, this young man is really a witty and intelligent person! With this mind at the age of sixteen or seventeen, the future is limitless.
Liu Ergongzi suddenly found that the surrounding atmosphere was very optimistic about Fang Yingwu, but he himself fell behind everywhere. Thinking of this, he felt even more uncomfortable, and he didn't want to stay here any longer.
Liu Ergongzi held his head high, waved his sleeves arrogantly and said: "Good or bad have their own public opinions, and I don't care to talk to you!" He left the bookstore lobby directly.
The old man sighed and said, "Mr. Dong Liu has a son like this, which is very worrying!" β
Mr. Dong Liu? Fang Yingwu was very puzzled when he heard this, Liu Ji never seemed to have this name, this name seemed to be another person
He hurriedly asked: "Who is Liu Gongzi's father?" β
The old man replied, "It's Liu Xianggong, a scholar of the Jinshen Palace." β
Fang Yingwu was stunned, he had misunderstood it for half a day. It turned out that Liu Ergongzi, the second son of Liu, was Liu of Liu Jue, a scholar of the Jinshen Palace, not Liu Ji, a scholar of Wenyuan Pavilion!
Now there are three elders, two surnamed Liu, he has been in contact with Liu Ji a lot recently, so he naturally thinks of Liu Ji! I knew that this was not Liu Ji's son, and I still bothered to be humble! It seems that he is not as talented as the other party, and he deliberately tries to avoid it!
Liu Jue, the elder of the pavilion, couldn't ask for him himself, and he was the one with the worst ability, the worst popularity, and the first to fall in the future.
I can directly plagiarize countless famous couplets, and humiliate Liu Ergongzi so much that I dare not write pairs again! At the same time, you can also brush up on the reputation of not being afraid of the powerful!
Just when Fang Yingwu regretted missing the opportunity, he heard the old man praise: "Fang Xiaoyou's talent must be higher than that of Liu Gongzi, but he knows that he is modest and self-prudent, not proud of his showmanship, and secretly agrees with the way of a humble gentleman, and is worthy of being the son of Fang Shu's Chang family." β
Fang Yingwu was pleased, there were wrong moves, it seemed that this was not bad, could it be that this was the truth that he never understood that fighting is not fighting, and not fighting is fighting? (To be continued.) )
