Chapter 195: Choosing a Daughter-in-law
Weng is very ordinary, far from good-looking, but he has a decent demeanor, neither humble nor arrogant.
After sitting down, we quickly started talking...... When Jing was martyred, the Yan army entered the capital to arrest their family, but the Weng family gave them all the jewelry and escaped with their lives. Then Weng took his family and found Huang Guan. At that time, Huang Guan wanted to join Jiang and die for the country.
But I don't know what's going on, I met Zhu Gaoxu, the king of Han, and arrested them directly, Huang Guan also became a prisoner, and Weng and others were locked up.
When Xu Jingchang heard this, he thought about it silently, and suddenly understood something, Huang Guan's family could save his life, maybe it had something to do with him.
At that time, Zhu Gaoxu, the king of the Han Dynasty, escorted Xu Zengshou's body back to Xu's house, perhaps because he happened to meet him, so he arrested Huang Guan instead of throwing himself into the river and died.
Subsequently, Xu Jingchang saved the lives of many Jianwen's former ministers, including Xu Huizu, and Zhu Di also changed his mind and stopped killing.
Including Jing Qing and Tie Xuan and others, none of them died, and Huang Guan naturally survived.
His wife was also sent to the washing, washing, and hard labor.
Although the days are very difficult, no one really dares to make a black hand to the Huang family, even Huang Guan's two precious daughters dare not move, the court has no conclusion, this is the character of Tongtian. Those who should be punished cannot go unpunished, and failure to punish is bending the law for personal gain. But if a person dies, or goes out of line, the consequences are unimaginable, and no one can bear it.
It wasn't until Huangguan Xianyu turned over and was appointed by Zhu Di as the secretary of the Ministry of Rites that this family could be regarded as bitter.
Weng smiled bitterly: "Dingguo Gong, I'm not afraid of your jokes, I really don't want the master to be an official, let's go back to our hometown in Jiangxi, guard a few acres of thin fields, plough the fields and study, raise silkworms and reel, and live a good life." Why bother in this court, be frightened and precarious. ”
Xu Jingchang sighed: "It's true, after a Jing tribulation, our Xu family is also life and death...... But don't worry, ma'am, to this day, I still have some use in talking. Now no one can do anything to Huang Liushou. He is so talented and talented, and he is not too old, and he is in the prime of life. It is also a good thing to find a way out for the people of the world and shine in history. ”
Weng nodded, his face was full of joy, "Dingguo Gong said so, I have a lot of peace of mind, you can talk, I'll prepare a few dishes, and then cook some plum wine for Ding Guogong." ”
Huang Guan said with a smile: "The clumsy Jing has the ability to cook wine, but it is a must, do you want to taste it?" ”
Xu Jingchang smiled, "Taste naturally to taste, but don't worry." I can't go to Wuying Hall now, and my house is in a mess. I'll stay here to avoid the limelight for now, and I'll be fine when things come to an eye. ”
Weng nodded, "In that case, the two girls and I will clean up the east side of the courtyard, and Dingguo Gong can rest for a while." ”
Xu Jingchang thanked him again and again, "There is Mrs. Lao." ”
Weng took his two daughters and turned around and went down without staying too long.
Huang Guan didn't say anything, but said with a smile: "Dingguo Gong is here to avoid the limelight, you might as well repair the book with me, I still have a lot of things to ask...... Especially the unity of knowledge and action, the more I ponder these four words, the more flavorful they are! ”
Xu Jingchang said in his heart, can there be no taste! If you think it through, you can be sanctified on the ground.
He simply discussed his knowledge with Huang Guan...... These two people get together, and they really complement each other.
First of all, Huang Guan's knowledge is much stronger than that of Xie Jin. Moreover, Huang Guan worked hard for two years, and under the ups and downs, he has an unusual understanding of life, including the people's livelihood and economy.
In contrast, Xie Jin's biggest setback was the gardening leave Xu Jingchang gave him, which naturally couldn't be compared with Huang Guan.
Therefore, Xu Jingchang and Huang Guan were able to chat, and gradually, the two of them became unscrupulous.
"The reason for the success of Jingnan may also be due to the mentality of Confucianism. They don't care who sits on the dragon chair, and they can't really live and die with the country. Huang Guan said in a deep voice.
Xu Jingchang said with a smile: "This is actually very dangerous, if you take another step, even if it is a foreign enemy, you can turn a blind eye, this is the biggest crisis of the Ming Dynasty, and Your Majesty does not want to see this step." So our current correction is appropriate. ”
Huang Guan said with a smile: "Confucianism pays attention to the family and the country, from the family to the country, from the country to the world, and the monarch is the lord of the world...... The previous controversy involving Annan is that according to Ethics, the kingdom should uphold justice and maintain order. ”
Xu Jingchang nodded, "But our new foundation is ...... It should be Huayi's argument. ”
"Huayi's argument?"
"Yes, starting with the Huayi debate, emphasizing people! A country is made up of people, and only when there is a country can there be a home! ”
When Huang Guan heard this, he was really refreshed, and hurriedly asked, Xu Jingchang explained with a smile that the core of this set of views is to distinguish you and me first, that is, Huayi's argument...... In the Central Plains, it is Huaxia, and outside is barbarians.
This is also a Confucian proposition, and it is not a novelty.
But then it was amazing, Xu Jingchang thought that it was the Chinese people in the Central Plains who formed the Central Plains.
The first is the state.
And the Chinese people are under the protection of this country, and the so-called family is also under the state.
From the world of the family and the country, it has become the world of the country.
The order changes, and the meaning changes abruptly.
Huang Guan really sighed at Xu Jingchang's keenness, and couldn't help asking, "What about the Son of Heaven?" Where do you plan to put your father? ”
"Emperor Taizu raised troops against the Yuan and restored China. It is the establishment of a new China, the lord of a country, the symbol of the world, the supreme of the Ninth Five-Year Plan, and the most holy of restoring the unification of China! After that, the Son of Heaven respected the rule of law of Emperor Taizu, which is also the heart of thousands of Chinese people, and is a symbol of the unity of our country. ”
In the face of this set of statements, Huang Guan was quite interested, and in this way, he emphasized that the emperor was a symbol of a country, replacing the position of the head of the family...... There are so many articles that can be done later.
Take cutting the feudal domain as an example, Zhu Yunwen spent the boss's efforts, not only did not succeed, but also put the country into it.
But with Xu Jingchang's statement, the Son of Heaven put the country in front of his family, and for the good of the country, he had to wronged his family and cut the feudal domain for the people...... That's a lot of sense.
Therefore, no matter what you do, you must be justified and occupy the name of righteousness.
Although I dare not say that this will be successful, at least the possibility of overturning is much smaller.
"Dingguo Gong, did you realize this recently, or did you know it early?"
Xu Jingchang smiled, "I was only thirteen six years ago!" ”
In a word, Huang Guan was speechless, he thought hard, and suddenly remembered one thing, "I went to Guozijian to teach, I seem to remember, you didn't go at that time, right?" ”
Skipping class was caught by the teacher!
Xu Jingchang shook his head again and again, "You remember wrong, right?" Nothing. ”
Huang Guan smiled, "I want to forget some things, after all, I can remember everything, and it's quite distressing." ”
This time it's Xu Jingchang's turn to be speechless, the way you show off is quite chic!
"Perhaps, when I was a child, I always had a stomachache when I was studying."
This time Huang Guan was completely ridiculous, "My girl also used this excuse to deceive people when she was a child!" ”
Xu Jingchang blinked, "Huang Liushou's daughter, she must have read a lot of books, right?" ”
"No!" Huang Guan shook his head, "A girl, you don't need to read so many books, just look at the biography of the martyr, the fourth book of the female is enough." The key is to be honest and obedient, in case her heart is higher than the sky, thinking too much is not her blessing. ”
Xu Jingchang couldn't help laughing and said, "You are a mean father, right?" ”
Huang Guan shook his head, "No, I'm here to let them have self-knowledge, don't think too much, since ancient times, talented women are early, it's easy to live once, why are you so tired?" ”
Huang Guan's words inexplicably fit Xu Jingchang's three views, and he felt more and more interesting about Huang Guan.
The two of them worked together on books, often busy until midnight.
Huang Guan's daughter occasionally takes over from the Weng family and sends supper to her father, and under normal circumstances, Xu Jingchang can also get a share.
"Although your skills are good, they are still a little worse than Ling Tang...... For example, today's gouache dumplings have too much sugar, and yesterday's bone-in abalone snails are also too much honey. It's not good to eat too much sugar. ”
Huang Guan's daughter just nodded, "Write it down." ”
Unfortunately, the next day, the sugar exploded again.
Xu Jingchang couldn't help it, "I'm not afraid of being young, Ling Zun is not young, what if I eat thirst-quenching disease?" ”
"Thirst?" The girl's face changed, and she could only say: "This is the material sent by your house, they give so much every day, and if we don't use it, I'm afraid that we will say that we have filled our pockets." ”
Xu Jingchang couldn't help laughing, "Just this little thing, is it worth it?" ”
The girl said seriously: "Honey is a very precious thing, a few years ago, it was only eaten on New Year's Day, and it is said that it was a tribute sent from overseas. ”
Xu Jingchang smiled and said: "There are too many things overseas, it's nothing." In order to buy me off, the Annan Hu Dynasty gave me 1,000 acres of land. I plan to get another tens of thousands of acres to grow sugarcane, and then squeeze sugar, and sell it to Daming. ”
At this time, Huang Guan also finished eating the snack, and he couldn't help laughing and said: "Dingguo Gong, you are asking for a bribe!" Aren't you afraid to spread the word? ”
Xu Jingchang said: "If you are afraid, I will not say it." Huang Liushou, why don't you do it with me, I'll go back and help you find a piece of land, do some business by the way, and save some dowry for Ling Ai! ”
As soon as he said this, the girl blushed, "Good court minister, what are you doing to make fun of the little girl?" ”
With a complaint, he picked up the empty bowl on the table, turned and left.
Huang Guan smiled, "This girl also knows that she is shy, she looks too big, and she can't stay for a few days." ”
Xu Jingchang said curiously: "Huang Liushou, have you thought about it, what kind of son-in-law are you looking for?" ”
Huang Guan said: "I can't say it well, the ups and downs, I don't want anything now, the portal family is secondary, I can talk about it, as long as the character is good." ”
Xu Jingchang shook his head again and leaned closer and said, "Old Huang...... To tell you the truth, I also told the prince that you can find any one, and you don't need to bother so much. ”
Huang Guan smiled: "Since this is the case, I will congratulate Dingguo Gong in advance and find a satisfactory wife." ”
Xu Jingchang didn't say anything, and the other day, he was called by Zhu Gaochi to go to the Imperial Garden.
"The queen mother arranged for you to be here, she summoned the ladies in Beijing by the lotus pond and asked them to bring their daughters over, whichever one you like, choose whichever one you like, I tell you, none of the draft girls in the palace have been so concerned!"
