Zhao Heng let Jia Zheng's father and son into the hall, and an old woman served tea.

Jia Zheng and Zhao Heng began to talk, but they didn't get to the point for a long time.

Next to him, Jia Baoyu listened drowsily, and Jia Huan also felt very bored.

Seeing that half an hour had passed, Jia Zheng said what he meant.

"Zhao Gong, my two dogs are dull and stupid, but my heart to learn is very strong. Now he has not won a famous teacher, so he asked Zhao Gong here, hoping that Zhao Gong can take the time to give advice. ”

Zhao Gongqing's reputation is all over the world, Jia Zheng does not dare to ask Zhao Heng to accept apprentices, and he is content to be a named disciple to give him one or two.

Hearing this, Zhao Hengqi smiled.

Although he was idle at home, he only read and wrote books every day, but he really didn't have the mind of a disciple.

But today it was the Jia family who came to the door, and Jia Daihua of the Jia family had been kind to him, and it was not easy for him to decisively shirk it.

Thinking of this, Zhao Heng couldn't help but say: "Lord Jia begged the old man, should he shirk it." It's just that the old man is shallow in his studies, and he is also old and decayed, and he is becoming more and more sluggish, lest he delay the future of the two sons. ”

"That's it, the old man will take a test of the two sons' admission to school first, and then make a calculation, I don't know what Master Jia thinks?"

Hearing Zhao Heng's words, Jia Zheng's heart was half cold, this is Zhao Heng who clearly does not want to accept apprentices.

But I didn't say it to death, leaving a little leeway.

Jia Zheng hurriedly said: "What Zhao Gong said is extremely true, if they are not able to be cultivated, Cun Zhou will no longer dare to bother Zhao Gong." ”

Zhao Heng nodded, and then asked Baoyu, "Have you finished reading the Four Books and Five Classics?" ”

Jia Baoyu said ashamedly: "No, I only went to college." ”

Zhao Heng continued to ask, "Have you ever memorized it from the university?" ”

At this moment, Jia Baoyu's white hair and sweat were scared out, and he stammered: "No, only, I only memorized the first few chapters......"

Next to him, Jia Zheng was ashamed and embarrassed.

He broke off: "Okay, you evil animal, I just say that you study at home every day, why don't you even memorize college?" You son of a, don't step back quickly. ”

Because of the protection of the old lady and his wife, Jia Zheng has not been admitted to school for a long time.

Originally, Jia Zheng thought that he would at least finish memorizing college, and even memorize one more book.

Unexpectedly, he didn't even memorize college, and only memorized the first few chapters.

This rebel is really embarrassed, he shouldn't have brought him if he knew this.

Zhao Heng's face did not change, and he smiled slightly and said, "Why does Lord Jia have such a big fire? Ling Lang is still young, as long as he is willing to study hard, he will benefit in a few years. ”

After that, Zhao Heng asked Jia Huan again: "I don't know how much you have read the Four Books and Five Classics?" ”

If this Jia Huan is also unsuccessful, and he hasn't even finished college, Zhao Heng will be easy to do, so he directly refused.

Jia Huan replied: "Back to Zhao Gong, the younger generation has finished reading the Four Books and Five Classics. ”

"Oh? It's rare at a young age. ”

At this point, Zhao Heng found out that Jia Zheng came this time mainly for this son, and the eldest prince was incidental.

Jia Zheng, the second son, is only twelve or thirteen years old, and it is rare to be able to read the four books and five classics.

But Zhao Heng has seen too many geniuses in his life, and he is even more genius than Jia Huan, not that he has never seen it, and he did not have the idea of accepting apprentices because of this.

Next, Zhao Heng asked about the passages of the Four Books and the Five Classics and their meanings.

In terms of reciting, Jia Huan recited backwards.

In terms of interpretation, some places made Zhao Heng nod frequently, while others made Zhao Heng frown slightly.

This son has worked hard, otherwise he would never have been able to recite so skillfully.

However, in the scriptures, there is an obvious lack of guidance from famous teachers.

Although there are some explanations of the scriptures, which make Zhao Heng's eyes shine, in the imperial examination, it may not be appropriate. There are also some mistakes and omissions.

Jia Huan made Zhao Heng feel a little sorry for his talents, but after weighing it again, Zhao Heng still shook his head in his heart.

Just ask one last question, and send them away.

Zhao Heng couldn't help asking, "Why do you study?" It's up to you to answer first. ”

Zhao Heng pointed at Jia Baoyu first.

Jia Baoyu stammered: "I, I study for, for the sake of Ming Mingde, close to the people, and stop at the best." ”

Jia Baoyu borrowed a sentence from the university, the way of the university, in Mingmingde, in the people, in the perfection.

It's not bad, but it's nothing new.

Jia Zheng's face next to him was gloomy and about to drip.

Next is Jia Huan.

This is not an easy question to answer.

The true thoughts can never be said, and can only be said according to the false sky.

However, it is not easy to answer wonderfully.

After thinking for a while, Jia Huan decided to learn from Jia Baoyu, so he borrowed what his predecessors said.

Jia Huan said: "When the younger generation reads, they must establish their hearts for heaven and earth, establish their lives for the people, continue their studies for the saints, and open peace for all generations." ”

Originally, Jia Zheng and Zhao Heng were sitting as guests, while Jia Baoyu and Jia Huan were standing to listen to the training.

When Jia Zheng and Zhao Heng heard what Jia Huan said, they couldn't help but stand up excitedly.

Zhao Heng couldn't help but tremble and asked, "Say what you just said, repeat it?" ”

Jia Huan was a little puzzled? Isn't it just Hengqu four sentences, as for being so excited?

He had no choice but to answer again: "Establish a heart for heaven and earth, establish a life for the people, continue to learn for the saints, and open peace for all generations." ”

Zhao Heng clapped his hands violently and said loudly: "Okay, good!" ”

After calling out twice, a few tears rolled down from the corners of his eyes.

Jia Zheng was beside him, and he was also excited and couldn't help himself.

It was only at this time that Jia Huan realized that something seemed to be wrong.

He is now like the reincarnation of Xianglin's sister-in-law, wailing in his heart:

I'm so stupid, I just know that the poems, songs, and articles in this world are different from those in the Dream of Red Mansions.

Unexpectedly, in this world of red mansions, there are not even four sentences of Hengqu!

It's no wonder that Zhao Heng, the old man, and Jia Zhenghui are excited like this, and the four sentences of Hengqu are really famous.

Jia Huan really doesn't want to be famous now.

If you want to wear a crown, you must bear its weight.

He was so young that he really couldn't afford it.

Zhao Heng wiped a handful of tears and said with emotion: "Establish a heart for heaven and earth, establish a life for the people, continue to learn for the saints, and open peace for all generations!" These four sentences are like being pulled out of the old man's heart, and they are the old man's lifelong pursuit! ”

"You can set such a big ambition at such a young age! The end is terrifying, why should it be light blue and crimson, it is the first class in the flower! ”

Hearing this, Jia Zheng couldn't help but ask, "Zhao Gong also knows this partridge heaven of the dog?" ”

At this time, it was Zhao Heng's turn to be stunned.

He hurriedly asked, "You, the second son, are actually Jia Sanshou Jia Huan?" Save the week, why didn't you say it earlier? ”

After asking, without waiting for Jia Zheng to answer, Zhao Heng looked at Jia Huan with a blank eye.

"Jia Huan, are you willing to worship the old man as a teacher?"
