Chapter 18 One should not be disappointed in man
People shouldn't be disappointed in people
However, often beneath the calm surface, there must be turbulent waves brewing behind it.
It's just that the girls in Pingkangfang are a little regretful.
They only hope that those talented people or little gentlemen who come to Chang'an will listen to their own songs, although they will write a few good words with gorgeous rhetoric, so that their lives will be better in the future, after all, a good word can not be found, sometimes a little luckier, can directly make them famous overnight;
The rewards are large and the probability of success is low, but again, the effort is minimal.
There is no cost of investment for a distant future.
However, a glass of sake is better than nothing, and it is always good to have hope.
There has always been no time and no place for the literary examination, anyway, don't leave Chang'an, just stay in this city for a month.
There is such a thing, it is said that a little gentleman, who won the martial arts examination, stayed in Chang'an and waited for the arrival of the literary examination, but what he didn't expect was that he stayed in the room for a month, and nothing happened.
Soon, he lost himself in the mountains of gold, silver, jewelry, and the compliments that were like waves.
Even when he arrived in the Qinglou, those girls who did not sell their bodies were included in his tent whenever he took a fancy to them. Even if those old bustards have the heart to defend it, but the news that he is about to become the apprentice of the little master and can be in charge of the entire Confucius Temple in the future is circulating in the entire Chang'an City, they can only swallow their anger and persuade the girls to want to open up.
Three days passed in a flash, and he did not have a score in the literary examination.
In the end, I don't know where the courage came from, he stood at the door of Mingde Gate in Chang'an City.
The little gentleman bit his lip, knelt at the door of the Mingde Gate, and cried loudly, not only for an explanation, but also to see the rules of the so-called literary examination.
People who come and go can see this little gentleman, he stubbornly knelt under the gate of Chang'an, and he looked wronged.
The explanation of Confucius Temple has not arrived for a long time, and more and more people have heard about this little gentleman, and they are all upset about him.
Only the girls who were forcibly ruined by him and the girls who felt sorry for them knew what was going on, but when the crowd was excited, they could only swallow their grievances in their stomachs.
On the thirtieth day, the little master of the time, the master of today, finally appeared.
One stood at the head of the city, and the other knelt at his feet.
The people of Chang'an and the city have tempers, which is also one of the characteristics of Chang'an.
The little master looked at the angry people and smiled slightly, Hao didn't care.
Looking at the people below, he was a little relieved, although they were deceived, but they dared to stand up, isn't this a manifestation of courage and character?
I don't know when a young man stood behind him, a little scared of life, and a little shy.
He pointed to the young man behind him and said, "He, this literary examination, is also the little master in the future, or even the master." He will tell you why he got the first place, and the people you think have been wronged don't get the results. ”
The young man took a deep breath, picked up a large roll of white cloth, missed the two big characters "Chang'an", and stretched it to the side, only to see that the white cloth was densely written with words.
At the same time, the little master also held a roll of white cloth in his hand and spread it down.
The people looked at the two "answer sheets" with suspicion.
It even clearly describes how long they have been reading the book, how long they have been practicing, and when they went to the toilet.
In the first twenty-seven days, the first martial arts examination did not make any out-of-the-ordinary moves.
As a result, he only walked a few hundred miles, and due to his lack of experience in the rivers and lakes, he was stunned, robbed of his things, and threw them into the stockade.
His strength could have easily escaped, but many of the women who were robbed and imprisoned were still there, and those robbers also wanted a scholar to write letters, threaten others, and so on.
This little gentleman in a dignified state actually began to teach those robbers to read and write, and to be polite.
He himself knew that these were just ordinary people, and if he really did something to them, he was afraid that these people would not be able to withstand his toss.
After a few days, the robbers began to respect him, and they had seen the scholar whom they had stolen smash a tree with one palm, but he did not lift a finger of them, and still reasoned with them.
They slowly listened to the persuasion of the scholar, and some even secretly put the hostages down the mountain, and some of the girls who were spoiled by them began to treat each other well, and even a few of them even got married.
When the girls saw that the person who had spoiled them had changed, and they were dedicated to goodness, they committed themselves to marry.
Which official he met, which eunuch, how many taels of silver he took, and how he forced the girl were all written on it, clearly and clearly.
The first martial arts test didn't dare to look up at the white cloth, let alone look at the people, and he didn't know if he felt that the sun was dazzling or that his eyes were seeping!
The little master at that time said lightly, and added at the end.
The little gentleman lowered his head, pursed his lips, and finally stood on top of the city, looked at the little master who was about to become his master, and said: "There is no human nature in the world, everyone is a pair of eyes, two ears, and a mouth. If you can survive safely and steadily, who is willing to throw your head and spill your blood. They are human beings, and we are human beings, and they may be disappointed in the world, because they don't understand the world, they are not the same kind. But how can we, who are also human beings, be disappointed in them?"
When the people heard this, they all lowered their heads, and the last sentence seemed to be said by the little gentleman on the city wall for them in the Confucius Temple.
"I have known them, they are just asking for money, they don't hurt anyone, the girls who have been ruined have forgiven them, and they have changed their self-confidence. If they hurt one, We will hurt one of them, and if they kill ten, I will kill ten of them. ”
"The little master is right, the reader is not seeking a 'good' word, but a 'reason' word. Good and evil are rewarded, that is what the monk does, and the scholar does not seek the afterlife, does not look at the past, and acts but seeks to be worthy of his heart. ”
The figure of Wu Kao Eighth suddenly became burly in the eyes of the people, and his body seemed to be covered with a layer of light.
"People
There should always be hope for people, and there should be no despair. You say yes, little master. ”
The little master turned his head to look at the city tower, and said lightly: "You have indulged for three days, and I will let you kneel for thirty days." He is right, people should not despair about people, it depends on you which way you should take in the future, how you should correct yourself, and how to make amends for those who have been hurt by you is also up to you. From now on, you are not allowed to walk in the world in the name of Confucius Temple, and it depends on you whether you can come back or not. ”
The people folded their sleeves and raised their fists, and the women put their hands in the baskets to take out their eggs. But at this moment, they can't put down their fists, and they can't take out eggs.
It's all a pair of eyes, two ears, and people shouldn't be desperate for people.
As for the first martial arts exam, I don't know where he went.
The Zhongyi Marquis's mansion was lively, and Xu Changan got a few gentlemen for free, and he was very happy.
Several little gentlemen took turns to teach him, and it was too late for others to envy him for such treatment, but he only felt terrible.
Xu Changan, who almost became his future brother-in-law, will also get together with the three gentlemen.
After listening to Chai Xintong tell this story, He Chen's face suddenly turned red, and he asked in a whisper: "Are you leaving me in the Zhongyi Houfu because you are afraid that I will repeat the mistake of the first in the martial arts examination back then?"
"You think too much, if you were greedy for money and sex, you would have gotten it a long time ago. Now it's different from back then, now as long as you are a literati and can write a good poem, you will be sought after when you go to any Qinglou in Pingkangfang. ”
These days, the four of them have been together for a long time, and He Chen is not so restrained. Although Xu Changan is from a good background, Kong Dewei is from a family of saints, and the mysterious Chai Xintong's background should not be weaker than the two, but these three people treat him equally from Buyi.
When Xu Changan heard this, he laughed and said: "This is good, when a few words are spread in the world, Mr. Chai wrote it for so-and-so, and I don't know if that girl like a fire phoenix will screw off our Mr. Chai's ears." ”
Several people laughed for a while, and He Chen said, "I really want to know why you keep me here?"
"Do you think the Confucius Temple is still the same as before? Back then, when Generalissimo Xu was here, one person shocked the whole world, and no one would think about it carefully. But the general has been gone for so long, a Confucius Temple can surpass the imperial court in the management of the heavenly scholars, you are the one in power, can you sleep?"
Chai Xintong sighed and said: "So, Mr. Kong and I came here this time to escort you to become the future little master, and the Confucius Temple is in your hands, so everyone can rest assured." ”
Finally, he asked suspiciously, "But you are all better than me, why?"
Then he scratched his head and said, "And the grade is not suitable!"
Chai Xintong looked at him with a strange expression, and finally blushed, still not saying a word.
"What about you, and why are you?"
Xu Changan glanced at him and immediately said, "It's okay, I didn't call you uncle." ”
Xu Changan looked at Chai Xintong inexplicably, but still changed the topic back.
Chai Xintong immediately replied: "You are really stupid, the master is ready to retreat, the Confucius Temple is in turmoil, if you are framed, then the Confucius Temple will fall into the hands of those people." ”
......
On the same day, a blind female pianist named Mo Qingshui wore a white dress like snow, carried her big guqin, and walked into Huanxi Building.
A sword Chang'an
