Chapter 282: A gentleman strives for self-improvement
What is a nobleman?
Xia Jingyun had a deeper understanding at this moment.
Concubine De allowed him to beat Dongfang Bai, it was because of Concubine De's great wisdom, and because Xia Jingyun was nominally Dongfang Bai's uncle.
However, with Xia Jingyun's current identity, he really can't do anything to Dongfang Tai.
Because the other party is a prince, he is the world's first-class nobleman.
He took a deep breath, walked to Dongfang Bai and squatted down, helped him and said with concern: "How is it, are you okay?" ”
"It's okay, he's used to being beaten by me, and he can't die."
It was Dongfang Tai who talked.
Xia Jingyun narrowed his eyes and looked at him coldly.
The undisguised look in the eyes of the knife man made Dongfang Tai, who had never seen such a battle, subconsciously take a step back, and immediately stiffened his neck again.
Xia Jingyun, who had this account in his heart, retracted his gaze, gently stroked Dongfang Bai's back, and said softly: "Why fight?" Tell me about my uncle? ”
Dongfang Bai pursed his lips and didn't say anything, but at this time, a slightly immature voice sounded on the side, "His Royal Highness the King of Jiaodong County helped me fight with the King of Linjiang County." ”
Xia Jingyun turned his head and looked at the young man who was soaked and had some mud stains on his body, and the scene of the Spring Festival banquet that day came to mind.
On that day, the most popular was naturally Xia Jingyun, followed by this country boy named Xun Feihong.
But that day, although the young man was dressed shabby, his high-spirited attitude and youthful spirit were far from being as depressed and cowering as he is today, and only a little tenacious and tenacious attitude was left inside.
Dongfang Bai only explained at this time: "In the past few days on the mountain, Dongfang Tai has instigated Xiao Liangxue and Ling Fengde to bully Senior Brother Xun at every turn, I can't see it, just"
Xia Jingyun gently patted Dongfang Bai's shoulder, "You did a good job, Uncle is proud of you, and presumably your mother will be proud of you." ”
Dongfang Bai is a child after all, and his eyes lit up when he heard this.
Xia Jingyun got up and walked in front of Xun Feihong and looked at him, "Why don't you resist?" But because the other party is a prince, you don't dare to make a mistake? ”
Xun Feihong pursed his lips and lowered his head.
"And the other two, also come to the house of the noble gentry, although you practice the teachings of the sages, but you inevitably feel a little inferior, you don't want to fight with them, but at the same time you want to cherish this hard-won learning opportunity, for fear of causing trouble, let the three teachers kick you out, after all, you have no money to do, and you have no connections. Is that right? ”
Xun Feihong bit his lip and didn't say a word.
Xia Jingyun sighed, "Do you remember the question you answered at the Spring Festival Banquet?" Have you ever thought about why the three old and well-informed gentlemen didn't intervene when it was obviously a matter of one sentence? ”
Xun Feihong slowly raised his head and looked at Xia Jingyun with some puzzlement.
"Life will never go as we wish it would be, and when we encounter unsatisfactory things, things that exceed our expectations, should we resign ourselves to our fate? It is a matter of sailing against the current, and since we should bravely hit the water and overcome difficulties, we can turn the ups and downs into a smooth road. ”
Xia Jingyun patted him lightly on the shoulder, smiled and said softly: "Think about it, you can be valued by the three old gentlemen, which shows that their expectations of you are extraordinary." If you are free in the future, you are also welcome to come to Jiang'an Hou Mansion for a walk. ”
As he spoke, he took out a waist card from his arms, "You can hold this card then." ”
Xun Feihong hesitated, took it in Xia Jingyun's encouraging eyes, and saluted him respectfully.
In the same way, Xia Jingyun also told Dongfang Bai.
In the end, it is the royal bloodline, and these things are much more transparent than Xun Feihong, and he understood it in an instant, and the faint resentment in his heart completely dissipated.
He whispered: "I'll go back and ponder with Senior Brother Xun to see if there is any way to not invite trouble, but also clean them up!" ”
Xia Jingyun rubbed his head, "That's the truth, as long as the mind doesn't slip, there are always more ways than difficulties, can a living person suffocate urine?" ”
Dongfang Bai was quite surprised to hear this vulgar language from the mouth of his uncle, who was extremely knowledgeable, and immediately felt that it made sense.
calmed down the matter a little, and Xia Jingyun went to say goodbye to the three old gentlemen.
Mr. Linxi took the initiative to speak: "Gao Yang, don't blame me for waiting. As you said before, teacher, preach and teach to solve doubts. But it's not just about academics, it's about being human. ”
Xia Jingyun nodded, "I completely agree with this point of view, they have come here at such a young age, isolated from the world, if they have the talent of a lifetime, the future life road may be very difficult." In the future life and career, there is no division commander who can stand up to help them solve all problems, and they should learn to improve themselves. ”
Mr. Linxi sighed: "This is very true. We also consider the same thing, so as long as we don't fight too much, we won't intervene for the time being. ”
Xia Jingyun said with a smile: "But you also have to worry about being too much, your mind is still very fragile at these times, if you are crushed, or if you are resentful, the gains outweigh the losses." ”
"Gao Yang rest assured, this kind of jade, how can we be so unsure of cherishing it, and we should carve it carefully!"
Xia Jingyun looked at that end, and suddenly his heart moved, "I also appreciate that Xun Feihong, and I want to give him a poem, I wonder if Mr. can make it convenient?" ”
"You are a poet, you can't ask for it!"
After a while, the three old gentlemen stood outside the door, watching Xia Jingyun leave, and when they were about to turn the mountainside, Xia Jingyun turned around, and the two sides saluted from afar, and said goodbye.
Mr. Linxi turned his head and ordered, "Go and call Feihong over." ”
Soon, Xun Feihong, who had only freshened up a little, and his clothes were still damp and dirty, walked over quickly and saluted respectfully to the three gentlemen.
Looking at the young man in front of them, the three old gentlemen also recognized Xia Jingyun's words a little more.
After all, he is still a young man with an incomplete mind, and if he is too late, once he is crushed, he will be ruined.
Mr. Linxi looked at him and said softly: "These days, what happened to you, several gentlemen and senior brothers have not intervened, do you have any resentment?" ”
Xun Feihong respectfully bowed his hand, "It is already a dream for students to be able to study here. Everything else depends on oneself, how can I be angry with Mr. and my senior brothers because of this. ”
Mr. Linxi didn't comment on Xun Feihong's thoughts, but asked, "Do you know who that person is?" ”
Xun Feihong said: "I heard that it is the new champion Xia Gongzi. ”
"Then do you know the past of this Xia Gongzi?"
Xun Feihong shook his head, "The student is lonely and unheard, please give me advice." ”
"This Xia Gongzi was born in a remote county in Surabaya Prefecture, and his family background is very ordinary. Last year, he was victimized by a traitor, his family property was confiscated, and his whole family was thrown into a hard labor camp, where they were whipped and oppressed, and they were not clothed or fed, and they were almost exhausted to death. ”
Xun Feihong couldn't help but widen his eyes and look shocked.
But he didn't sit still, first thought of a way to improve the fortifications, in exchange for temporary rest and adequate food and clothing, and then followed the opportunity of Concubine De's mother-in-law, won the appreciation of Concubine De's mother, successfully washed away her grievances, and obtained the qualification for scientific examination. At the same time, at the critical juncture of the rebellion in Surabaya Prefecture, he assisted Concubine De Niangniang and the Wudang army to defend the city and suppress the rebels. ”
"A year has passed, and now he is the new champion of Lianzhong Sanyuan, and he is also a four-grade high-ranking official who moves three times a day, the emperor's order, the righteous brother of the concubine, and the poet of the world."
After Mr. Linxi finished speaking, he looked at Xun Feihong and said seriously, "Compared to him at the beginning, how are you doing now?" How does he strive for self-improvement, and how do you behave? ”
Xun Feihong bowed and said, "The student understands. ”
"Xia Langzhong also appreciates you, and when he left, he wrote a poem and asked me to pass it on to you. It can also be regarded as the teacher's expectation of you! Go back and change your clothes and think about it. ”
As he spoke, he picked up the paper in his hand and handed it to Xun Feihong.
Xun Feihong stretched out his hand to take it, did not open it, and bowed and retreated.
Back in his room, Xun Feihong sat upright in his seat and slowly opened the paper in his hand.
A few columns of strong and elegant handwriting come into view.
[Wrapped in a coarse cloth, there is poetry and books in the belly.
The pride is still boasting of the world, and the new wet words of Zhao Huang are like crows. 】
This talented young man, his hands trembled, his eyes were slightly red, and a seed was quietly planted in his heart.
——
Yunmengzhou, Sujiawu.
A carrier pigeon leisurely crossed the sky and landed into the pigeon loft in Sujiawu.
