Chapter 292: Promoting Filial Piety through Illness (2)

Judging from Biyu's series of performances just now, whether it is words or unfamiliar techniques, it doesn't seem to be serving people at all. The guests present were very skeptical of Shi Hui's words of praise and praise for how filial his son was.

Seeing Shi Hui's father and son in such a situation, Xun Guanglu guessed that Shi Hui's invitation today and the words he just said must have a different purpose. Regarding Shi Hui's unfriendliness in the court the day before yesterday, he still has no anger. So he wanted to take the opportunity to reproach the father and son to vent his anger. He sneered and said to Biyu: "The noble body is not safe, but fortunately, you have a virtuous nephew who is so filial and takes care of you meticulously." But it is the same wind chill, but it also has different manifestations, I wonder if Ling Zun has high fever? Is it accompanied by headaches, sneezing, runny nose? ”m.

This one was unguarded, and Biyu was confused, where did he know this!

Shi Hui didn't expect that there would be guests who "cared" about his condition so much. He just got up and wanted to go to Xiaojie under the support of his personal maid, seeing that Biyu was stunned, knowing that he couldn't speak, he took a few steps, so he deliberately stopped, blew his nose with a towel to remind him, and then went slowly.

"As Uncle Xun said, my father does have the above symptoms."

"Is the phlegm clear or cloudy? White or yellow? Xun Guanglu continued to ask.

"Yes...... Yellow, cloudy sputum. Biyu couldn't be reminded, so she could only say it blindfolded.

"That's not right, anyone who has symptoms of sneezing and runny nose should correspond to white phlegm, how can it be yellow turbid phlegm? The doctor's prescription is based on the symptoms. The symptoms are so confusing, I'm curious about how the prescription works! I heard Ling Zun say, all the decoctions in the past few days are boiled by virtuous nephews, old man, I know a little about medical science, can you tell me the ratio of his prescription, I will help you check it. ”

Shi Hui's decoction is all boiled by the maids in his room, Biyu has not stretched out his hand at all, where does he know the formula! He was originally very good at arguing, but it depends on the occasion, if you want to discuss things that interest you such as metaphysics, you can talk about Confucianism; But in a reluctant and forced occasion like today, he would be completely out of shape. Although he has not boiled medicine with his own hands, he has also read some medical books, and he can also say a little about the prescription of wind and cold, and he can deal with a few words. But he refused to be perfunctory, and let others think of him.

In the face of Xun Guanglu's malicious inquiry, Ah Miao and Ah Yan wanted to interject to help Biyu. But on this occasion, they are not qualified to speak at all. However, Ah Yan, who has always been sharp-toothed and sharp-tongued, couldn't help but say: "Those medicines are all taken from the pharmacy by the people with the prescriptions prescribed by the doctors, and my son-in-law only boils them, how do you know the ratio!" ”

Xun Guanglu glared at her and reprimanded: "When the masters talk to each other, how can the maid interject!" ”

Ah Yan was ashamed and angry, but she didn't dare to say anything more.

After being silent for a moment, Xun Guanglu compared Yufa again: "When a person gets older, his body must be getting weaker and weaker. I am similar to Ling Zunnian, why don't I feel the same way? Speaking of Nianya, I vaguely remember that Ling Zun was slightly inferior to me, either one or two years old. Dare to ask Ling Zun this year? ”

"Uh......" Biyu is still wooden, and he can't answer.

Xun Guanglu couldn't help but sneer: "The virtuous nephew has read the books of the sages, don't you hear the sages say: 'In the year of your parents, you must not know it.'" One is joyful, the other is afraid'. The age of parents needs to be kept in mind at all times, which is the most basic manifestation of caring parents for children. If you don't even know the age of your parents, what kind of filial piety are you talking about! ”

No one expected that there would be such a straightforward questioning by a guest, and the scene was embarrassing for a while. Suddenly, I saw a person standing up, raised his head and laughed: "What etiquette! What a sage's words! The one who is faithful is thin and the head of chaos. How can my generation be bound by propriety! ”

It was Wang Yan, the current leader of Qing Talks, who spoke. He is the banner of advocating Lao Zhuang's rejection of Confucianism and the idea of transcending the name of religion and letting nature go. Due to the drunkenness, his originally snow-white face was also flushed. He didn't pay attention to Xun Guanglu, but walked up to Biyu and said, "Virtuous nephew, don't pay attention to these people." They were all vulgar things, and it was not pleasant to hear that. Let them teach here, and let me go! ”

Wang Yan spoke, and walked out of the park in a leisurely manner. Biyu is feeling that he has been spending time here, and he has long had enough, and when he saw Wang Yan calling, he didn't wait to ask his father, so he wanted to follow Wang Yan out. Ah Miao and Ah Yan are afraid: Today's scene is all up to him, he didn't act well in the first place, and if he picks up the child halfway, it will be even more over. The two of them sprinted a few steps, grabbing Biyu's arm left and right. Biyu just wanted to chase Wang Yan, but was pestered by Ermei and refused to let go, in a hurry, turned today's grievances into strength, and rushed forward, the second maid only cared about pulling the sleeves fiercely, with a "hiss", the two of them each pulled off half of the sleeves of their thin shirts, and fell backwards to the ground. When they got up, they had been snatched away by Biyu.

Many of today's guests are Wang Yan's first-class, and they don't pay attention to etiquette, they don't wait to say goodbye to Shi Hui, and leave directly. By the time Shi Hui returned from the toilet, most of the invited guests had already left. After listening to people's descriptions, I realized what had just happened. Unexpectedly, a plan that he worked so hard to make not only failed to spread his reputation, but also became a joke. I couldn't help but cry out and be indignant.

The rest of the guests found it bored and dispersed one after another. Only one person was unmoved, still drinking by himself. Shi Hui saw that it was Wang Yan's cousin Wang Rong.

Although Wang Rong and Wang Yan are brothers from the same family, their personalities are very different. Wang Yanqing is rebellious and despises the world. He doesn't care about money, and he never mentions the word "money" in his mouth. In order to test him, his wife deliberately surrounded his bed with money while he was sleeping. After Wang Yan woke up, he saw that there was money all around, and there was no place to put his feet. His wife was full of confidence waiting for him to mention the word "money", but Wang Yan said: Lift a blockage - take away these things that block the road! After all, there was still no mention of the word "money".

As one of the seven sages of the bamboo forest, Wang Rong is more worldly than elegant. He regarded wealth as his life, and when his daughter borrowed a small amount of money from him, he was not happy, and always showed his daughter a look. When his nephew got married, he gave him a single coat and asked for it back immediately afterwards. However, Wei Jinshi people are very weird, different from ordinary people's thinking, and can't evaluate people from a certain aspect. Although Wang Rong is so selfish, he would rather pass on his official title and family property to his distant nephew than to his unattractive son.

The Wei and Jin dynasties were an era of flamboyant personalities, and everyone had their own personality characteristics, and the etiquette was the most relaxed and weakest in this period. This can be seen from the Langya Wang brothers.

Wang Rong, as a Situ, also led the post of secretary of the ministry, and was the third prince of the dynasty, and his status was noble.

Shi Hui relied on him a lot in the court, how dare he slack off? So I hurried over to talk.

Wang Rong was also drunk, and asked him with a wine glass, "Do you want to drink a few glasses?" ”

Shi Hui looked embarrassed: "Uncle, please forgive my sister-in-law, I am not feeling well today and cannot accompany me." ”

"Now there are no outsiders, so your play will end here." Wang Rong didn't look at him squarely, but drank the wine and said, "You are half sick and half pretending, after such a breath, I am afraid that the other half of the illness will also be gone." Hey, it's really hard for parents all over the world! ”

Shi Hui couldn't help but feel a little embarrassed, it turned out that his little ninety-nine had all been recognized by others. So what's the outfit? He sat next to Wang Rong, poured himself a glass of wine, and said with a smile: "Uncle brother is happy, foolish brother should accompany him." Then he gave Wang Rong a glass. Shi Hui didn't want to hide anything from Wang Rong, so he simply told his troubles: "I don't tell my uncle that the child is arrogant and does not want to make progress. The younger brother can be said to have good intentions and broke his heart, but it backfired, how could he care about one or two! ”

Wang Rong drank the wine, looked up at Shi Hui with a sad face, and couldn't help but shake his head and said: "The virtuous nephew is smart and enlightened, but he is arrogant and talented, and he can't be forced. No matter how hard you try, it's hard to be effective. I'm afraid this road is difficult to pass, so it's better to let him go. ”

"What? Does my uncle mean to let me go? My Shi family's heirs are thin, and they all rely on this to carry forward, how can I give up? ”

Seeing that Shi Hui was so frightened, Wang Rong laughed twice: "I asked you to find another way, who said that you gave up on him?" ”

Shi Hui looked confused: "The younger brother is stupid, and I ask my uncle to make it clear." ”

"The virtuous nephew is also unintentional here, so it's better to let him go."

"Let him go?" Shi Hui was surprised to hear this suggestion.

"The people of the court, Jiuqing and above, all those who want to be enterprising, just by being a Lang official and an adjutant in the court, I am afraid that their qualifications are not enough, most of them have to go to the foreign post to experience and experience, basically they are transferred to the county order, and there is no shortage of people who are directly appointed as Taishou."

Wang Rong has been in charge of the Ministry of Officials for many years and knows the best about the road to promotion.

Of course, Shi Hui was very convinced of his words, but he was a little hesitant in his heart: "What my uncle said is very true, De'er really lacks experience. How could he be mediocre by nature, and it didn't matter in such an idle position as the secretary's cabinet, but when he came to the outside office, he was in charge of the government and the people, people's livelihood, taxation, floods and droughts, persuasion of agriculture, school supervision, law, lawsuits, inspections, military equipment, everything had to be done, and the stakes were important, how could he afford it! ”

Seeing him say this, Wang Rong smiled coldly and said, "Then you let him be like this all the time?" ”

Of course not, but there's nothing to do! Shi Hui sighed discouragedly. Thinking about it this way, it is really better to send him to a foreign post. But he still had a luxury in his heart, and he had to think about it carefully, so he smiled and said to Wang Rong humbly: "The younger brother still has a luxury hope, which is really hard to talk about, and I ask my uncle to take care of it." ”

Bad to talk about? Do you ask me less? Wang Rong knew that he had something to ask for, but it was difficult to refuse.

"What's the matter?"

"It's that after the younger brother was promoted to Yuzhou Dazhongzheng, our position in Ruyin Zhongzheng was vacant, and I plan to ask my uncle to fight for De'er. If you have to let go of the foreign office, I'm afraid this matter will not be done. ”

The general context of the Jiupin Zhongzheng system is: small Zhongzheng gatekeepers, large Zhongzheng gatekeepers, and Situ gatekeepers Dazhongzheng. Wang Rong, as Situ, in addition to the influence of imperial power, is actually the chief valve of the Jiupin Zhongzheng system. He is in charge of the selection of all large and small central officials in the Jiupin Zhongzheng system, and every candidate for the Zhongzheng official must be approved by him. The Yuzhou Dazhongzheng who is benevolent is the result of his care.

There are 19 states in the Great Jin Dynasty, 173 counties, and the small Ruyin County Zhongzheng is only one of the 173 small Zhongzheng, and its appointment and dismissal is a big deal for the Ruyin people, but it is only a trivial matter for Situ. However, Wang Rong shook his head: "The position of Zhongzheng is very important, do you think it is granted to people casually?" Besides, you are a big Zhongzheng in Yuzhou, and you want your son to be a small Zhongzheng in Ruyin, you are really embarrassed to say it! ”

was directly rejected by Wang Rong through alcohol, Shi Hui was a little faceless, but he felt unwilling, and said cheekily: "Then this Ruyin Zhongzheng, do you want to give it to others?" ”

"Who said you should give it away? At present, the state and county levels are being held together by yourself for the time being. What's the hurry, this Ruyin Zhongzheng position can't run, sooner or later it's your Shi family! ”

Sooner or later, it's all Shi's? Doesn't that mean that you have to keep it for you in the future? When Shi Hui heard this, he was overjoyed.

Wang Rong was also eight points drunk, and as he spoke, he staggered to his feet and walked out, "As for where to go, I have already shown you the way, so you can do it yourself." ”

Shi Hui Weiwei was silent, hurriedly caught up, and personally supported Wang Rong. At this time, he didn't cough anymore, and he didn't get sick, so he helped the uncle all the way to the gate and helped him into the car. ”

Some people died, but not completely......
