Zheng Xuan and Zhang Zimo, two partners for many years, smiled slightly, but Zhang Zimo suddenly took out something from his cuff and handed it to Zheng Xuan, Zheng Xuan took it curiously, it was a short bamboo arrow that was not too sharp.

Zheng Xuan has some doubts:

"Is this...?"

"Lord, this is what you found in the corpse of the old horse after you asked your subordinates to secretly investigate the third son's startled horse. ”

Zheng Xuan was stunned when he heard this, and his eyes flashed with coldness and dissatisfaction:

"I said that the old horse had a gentle personality, and how could he suddenly run off the cliff, and they went too far. ”

Zheng Xuan's words revealed extreme dissatisfaction, but Zhang Zimo just sat quietly and said nothing, there are some things, the lord is willing to tell his subordinates about family affairs, it does not mean that his subordinates can talk about the lord's family affairs.

Zheng Xuan took the bamboo arrow and looked at it for a while, suddenly broke the bamboo arrow and put it in the envelope, and called the soldiers outside the door:

"Take it out and burn it. ”

After Zheng Xuan did all this, he looked at Zhang Zimo with a smile:

"It seems that the matter of finding a teacher for Yi Chen must be more attentive!"

Zhang Zimo bowed his head:

"That's nature!"

...

...

Zheng Yichen came to the front yard lobby early in the afternoon, there were many people outside the lobby, looking at the dress of some literati, the youngest of them was also in his early thirties, talking and laughing outside the lobby, Zheng Xuan was also among the crowd, the image of the strict and resolute hero in the past was greatly restrained at this time, with a gentle smile on his face, and the servants at home were even more cautious when they saw Zheng Xuan doing this.

Zheng Yichen sat in the lobby, accompanied by Zhang Zimo, and pointed out the identity of everyone in the lobby:

"Three princes, these people are all well-known Confucians in Jiannan City and even the entire Shu County, and several of their disciples are even officials in the capital, and they are also somewhat influential in the Dongwen Society. ”

"The Lord has spent a lot of money to invite these people in order to choose a teacher for you today, and today it is not only you who choose a teacher, but also these teachers who come to see you, so wait, you must pay attention to your conversation. ”

Zhang Zimo explained everything to Zheng Yichen on the side, this was not Zheng Xuan's instructions, nor Zheng Yichen's request, but Zhang Zimo's spontaneous behavior, Zhang Zimo also felt strange in his heart, I don't know why he wants to help whenever he sees Zheng Yichen now, and he feels much closer than before.

Of course, Zheng Yichen knows this, and the credit is naturally the influence of the dragon qi on his head, and those who have the dragon qi will naturally go well.

Zhang Zimo narrated on the side, Zheng Yichen listened with an open face, this style became a corporal in the eyes of Zhang Zimo, a wise act of listening to good words, and many gentlemen outside the lobby were secretly observing.

Zheng Yichen sat upright, his eyes were impartial, his figure was even more upright, his face was full of listening carefully to the words of the scribes on the side, and he was humbly seeking advice.

"Well, you gentlemen have been here for a long time, and please come into the house to have a cup of hot tea, and teach my unsuccessful son casually."

Zheng Xuan chatted with everyone for a while, and finally officially invited everyone in, and several Confucians also walked in along the river, sitting cross-legged on the front seat, Zheng Yichen, as the protagonist of today, sat in the backmost seat, and there was only a small table.

The servants brought the most tender Yundian Pu'er this year, and each bowl was as much as one or two silver, which was not luxurious.

Everyone took their seats, Zheng Xuan toasted tea at the top, and said:

"I invite you to come here today, but also for my third son, who is not a master, I hope to get the favor of all of you here and teach me carefully!"

After Zheng Xuan finished speaking, Zheng Yichen hurriedly lined up, stood in the center of the hall, and saluted to all the Confucians seated.

Zheng Yichen stretched out his hands forward, bent down at ninety degrees, and said in a respectful tone:

"Boy Zheng Yichen, meet all gentlemen!"

The great Confucians present all glanced at each other, and then nodded with satisfaction, they had also heard that the third prince of the Hou Mansion was an unsuccessful person, but rumors were rumors after all. When I saw the deity today, I felt that Zheng Yichen's actions that they had seen countless times others did were particularly pleasing to the eye, so it was natural for Zheng Yichen to wear a well-informed hat, and it seemed that he naturally had a lot of positive views.

Seeing that the Confucians were very satisfied, Zheng Xuan was also very happy, the more he looked at Zheng Yichen below, the more pleasing it was to the eyes, and the proportion of Zheng Yichen in his heart was unconsciously larger.

Several Confucians looked at it for a while, and finally the oldest gentleman took a sip of tea, stepped forward and said:

"It's the first time we've met, although the third son is knowledgeable and upright, but this knowledge is not considered, it really makes us incapable of looking at the level, and today the old man will take the lead in asking a problem. ”

Zheng Yichen hurriedly bowed his head:

"Please give me advice!"

The old gentleman asked, almost without consideration:

Zi said: Those who know are not as good as those who are good, and those who are good are not as good as those who are happy. I don't know where this sentence comes from, and what is the explanation?"

After the old gentleman asked, Zheng Yichen thought for a while, and returned confidently:

This is from the Yongye in the 12th chapter of the Analects, which means that those who know how to learn are not as good as those who love to learn, and those who love to learn are not as good as those who take pleasure in learning. ”

When all the Confucians present heard that Mo Ling had answered so decisively and correctly with just a little thought, they all looked up, and the old gentleman continued to ask a few similar questions, Zheng Yichen was able to answer them after a little thought, and every question could be answered fluently without the slightest mistake.

The old gentleman was obviously extremely satisfied, and praised again and again:

"Where is the third son of the Marquis of Jingchuan, who is a mediocre scholar? I think he is very knowledgeable and talented!"

Zheng Yichen just smiled modestly in the face of praise to show politeness, not a little proud, several Confucians were even more satisfied, a few of them had a relatively slight status, and they were not stingy after exaggeration, you must know that just now, the questions asked by the old gentleman can be said to cover the entire Confucian classics, Zheng Yichen can not only answer them fluently, but also have a lot of inferences, which is not surprising.

Zheng Xuan saw his son so competitive, so that these Confucian scholars, who had always looked down on him in the past, praised him so much, he felt that his heart was greatly refreshed, although his face was not too expressive, but the smile in his eyes could not be hidden.

It's just that Zheng Xuan is also curious, when did Zheng Yichen become so smart?

Zheng Yichen smiled confidently, but the temple behind him was busy, Mo Ling sat high with a stern face, and asked questions repeatedly, Mo Li Heishui took the four divine generals and many divine soldiers, and looked at the large number of Confucian classics taken out of the thirty-three-story tower in front of him, there are many people with great power, and they don't need to look through the pages carefully like mortals, still relying on how those great Confucians ask questions, it is naturally difficult to defeat Zheng Yichen in front.

All Zheng Yichen has to do is just make a thinking image, and after a while, he will be able to get countless cases and his own opinions put forward by the great masters of the previous dynasty, and it is difficult not to shock this group of Confucian students!
