Chapter 113: Alone in oneself, to help the world
I was invited into an elegantly furnished hall, just sat down, there was a maid serving tea, the aroma was curling, I took a sip, and moistened my throat.
I heard a dry cough, and Zhou Fencao, who was wearing a robe, walked in. I don't know if it's because I went out to get too much sun, my face is a little darker, and my eyebrows are as thick and straight as a pair of swords. Looking at it, I feel very strict.
Chen Sanlang got up and bowed his hand: "The junior has seen Gong Cao!"
Zhou Fencao's eyes were blazing, he glanced at him, and said, "Daoyuan doesn't need to be polite, please sit down." β
sat down, and said: "Congratulations to Dao Yuan, high school Xie Yuan, the weight is not light." Think about it, our Nanyang Mansion, in all dynasties, has only produced three Xie Yuan, but there are five champions. β
Chen Sanlang said respectfully: "The award has been won by Cao Gong, and the township test is just a stepping stone, and it cannot be compared with the meeting test and the palace test." β
"You should be about to go to the capital to participate in the test. β
Chen Sanlang nodded: "If there is no accident, it will probably start in October." β
Zhou Fencao is a person who has come over, has rich experience, and stroked his beard: "Good October, autumn is high and cool, if it is cold after winter, it is not suitable to travel far." β
"That's what I thought, and now I take advantage of my free time to come to Fucheng to visit friends and activities. β
Zhou Fencao smiled, and suddenly said: "At the Luming banquet, you are not bad, you are neither arrogant nor humble, and you are well-founded, which really surprises me." β
This is a rare compliment: "I understand very well that it is not an easy thing to face Lord Thorn Shi, who is quick and witty. β
He had apparently been informed of the details.
There were so many people in Vientiane Park that day, and it was only a matter of time before the news reached Zhou Fencao's ears.
Chen Sanlang and Yuan Wenchang are pairs. Because of the contrast between the identities of the two, as well as the level of that pair. It is destined to become a hot topic in Yangzhou's literary circle. After the news spread, it was among the scholars. Many celebrities praised Chen Sanlang, saying that he was "not afraid of the powerful" and "not afraid of might".
Undoubtedly, Chen Sanlang has gained a lot of fame.
It was a bonus.
Reputation is intangible, but qualitative, many times, different reputations are different clothes, can make people's image completely change.
In Yangzhou, Yuan Wenchang's domineering and majestic image is deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, but there are also many readers who are awe-inspiring. It's hard to see.
Zhou Fencao is one of them, otherwise, why would he refuse the olive branch that Yuan Wenchang has repeatedly stretched out?
"The three Confucians are in front, the three talented people are in the back, and the Confucianists in the small life, how dare they be in the front, how dare they dare to be in the back?"
Chen Sanlang's pair simply resonated strongly in his heart. The Way of the Sages. The most important is the mean, impartial, not forward, not backward.
If Chen Saburo in the past, the impression mainly came from the lower link of Chaoshan Temple; Chen Sanlang made his eyes light up again.
Standing up, he suddenly pointed to a painting hanging on the left side of the hall: "Daoyuan, look." β
Chen Sanlang looked over. Immediately recognized that this painting was written temporarily when he came to Taoranzhuang last time and did not meet him. Due to the poor conditions at that time. The writing is a little flawed, and I don't want to be framed by Zhou Fencao. Hung up.
Zhou Fencao said: "If you are poor, you will be good alone, and if you are good, you will help the world." I want to ask you, what is 'poor' and what is 'reach'?"
This is the meaning of the question assessment.
Chen Sanlang groaned slightly, and asked rhetorically: "Fen Cao Gong is full of poetry and books, has a strategy, and has the heart to help the world, but he lives in a corner, depressed, and lives up to his ambitions in this life, but why?"
Zhou Fencao glanced at him: "Current affairs are difficult, and they are complicit, but escaping the world is a last resort, so as to be right." β
Chen Sanlang said slowly: "The sage said: I am good at cultivating my heroic spirit. The younger generation is not talented, and there are some opinions. β
Zhou Fencao sighed: "Please speak." β
"The lower one: one person is upright, the middle one: one hundred people are in the city, the upper one: ten thousand people are right, and the one who reaches the one is ten million people, which is called: Haoran!"
Zhou Fencao listened, his eyes flashed with a light of deep thought, and he suddenly looked up to the sky and laughed: "In this way, Zhou's seclusion in the mountains and forests, playing in the mountains and rivers, is what you call 'one person is upright', the next." β
Chen Sanlang said: "Don't dare." It's just that the water of the waves is clear and can wet my feet, and the water of the waves is turbid and can wet my feet. β
Zhou Fencao looked at him in a daze, as if he knew him for the first time: How could he say these words in this year and the crown?
He opened his mouth and asked: "In today's situation, the building will collapse, why should it be correct?"
Chen Sanlang said: "Birth, old age, sickness and death, the normal state of people, and the same is true of dynasties. The country is broken by mountains and rivers, the city is deep in spring and trees, and it has its own iteration. β
Zhou Fencao's body was shocked, Huo Ran stood up and pointed at him: "You?"
The heart was shocked, and it was impossible to add more, I never thought that Chen Sanlang would say such a rebellious remark.
Chen Sanlang's heart sank, and he suddenly realized that he had said too much and lost his words.
Zhou Fencao's eyes shone brightly: "What is the difference between your remarks and what Lord Assassin Shi did?"
Chen Sanlang coughed dryly: "Divide Cao Gong, why did the previous dynasty fall? What about the Great Front Dynasty? What the younger generation said is just a law. When you have an understanding, you should prepare in advance. In a word, what good is it to escape from the world?"
Zhou Fencao inexplicably felt confused and faintly painful: he was by no means stupid, in fact, the trend of many things had been predicted, but today it was revealed by Chen Sanlang single-handedly, but it made him difficult to accept for a while.
Chen Sanlang got up: "Divide Cao Gong, the younger generation still has some things, so I will leave first." β
Zhou Fencao said: "That's good." β
got up to send Chen Sanlang out, and saw the other party go away, still stunned, and the two sentences "The country is broken by mountains and rivers, and the spring grass and trees in the city are deep"......
Out of the village, Chen Sanlang sighed: although his current luck is quite high, his life is always insufficient, and as a newcomer, even if it is Xie Yuan, it is difficult to recruit Zhou Fencao. People are also a jinshi, people who have been polished in the officialdom for many years, and they are brilliant, how can they be lightly attached to follow?
But there's no rush now, and there will be opportunities in the future.
In the hall of the Zhou family, Xiongping stood behind Chen Sanlang, standing straight, but after listening to the words, he was confused and bored in the clouds and mountains. At this time, I envied the crabs that stayed in Jing County. finally came out, and then said angrily: "Childe, if you want this guy to work hard, why do you need to bother so much? Let me kill in the village and tie him out with a rope, forgive him for not daring to disobey." β
Chen Sanlang smiled: "You don't understand." β
The two returned to Nanyang Mansion, and when they had time, they walked around and came to North Street.
Suddenly there was a commotion in front, and there was a crying sound, and the movement was very loud, and some people ran over to watch, and they heard someone shouting: "The public door is doing business, and all the idle people get out of the way." β
I saw four servants, led by a catcher, escorting a chubby man out of a house. The family members in the back cried and cried, and pleaded vigorously.
The head catcher sneered: "6 Da, there is a problem with the file this time, the new prefect is furious, no one can afford it, you just obediently follow me!"
The fat man who was caught was Chen Sanlang's eldest brother-in-law 6 Da, who was a small official in the Nanyang Mansion Zhaomo Office, who had been operating for three generations, and could be regarded as earning a solid family business, but now he didn't know what was going on, and he was going to be taken to the yamen for interrogation.
6Da shouted: "Wang Zhutou, wronged, you know, I have been sick at home all these days, and I have never gone to the yamen to run errands......
The king said angrily: "It's not a recent thing, but the file you used to be in charge of went wrong and was found out." β
6 When he heard it, his face was like ashes: the so-called little officials were cunning and slippery like oil. As soon as I checked it, there was shit on all buttocks, just look at the big lump and the small lump, what kind of stinky Cheng dΓΉ. But under normal circumstances, as long as the cover-up homework is done properly, nothing will happen.
He should be 6 unlucky, in just a few months, the prefect of Nanyang Prefecture has changed three terms, like a lantern, and everyone is dazzled. The old prefect Su Guancheng did not mention his promotion, and Wei Liming, who had just taken office, did not hold on for half a month, and he suffered a stroke and fell down before his seat was warm; and then recently changed to a new prefect.
The new official took office with three fires, but unexpectedly, one of them burned to the head of 6. He was infected with a cold a few days ago, and after seeing a few Langzhong, he did not get better, but became heavier, so he had to take a long vacation and stay at home to recuperate. As soon as his recuperation improved a little, the yamen came.
6 Da knew in his heart that this was because he had not been in the yamen for too long, so he was stabbed, but now even if he wanted to remedy it, he couldn't remedy it. The new prefect is vigorous and resolute, and he wants to grasp the typical, and he can't say anything at all. Besides, although he has some connections, a small official is a small official, and the real official judgment is like a mud, which is not at the same level at all.
"Let go, don't let go, and then arrest and send the official together!"
Chen Sanlang's eldest sister hugged her husband and refused to let go, which made Wang Zhutou very unhappy, and she was upset when she heard the woman crying, so she wanted to get up and kick it.
"Wait. β
Chen Sanlang walked over with Xiongping.
Wang Zhutou stared, his hand grasped the hilt of the knife, and shouted: "Who are you, dare to come to obstruct this head catcher from handling the case?"
When the woman saw Chen Sanlang, she was also stunned, and she couldn't recognize it for a while-this younger brother in the past was very thin and pointy, but now his cheeks are plump and he looks heroic.
Chen Sanlang stepped forward and said indifferently: "This head catcher is invited, my surname is Chen, my name is Yuan, and the words are far away." β
"Chen Yuan, Chen Daoyuan?"
Wang Zhutou felt that this name was a little familiar, and a flash of inspiration flashed in his mind, and he shouted: "Chen Jieyuan, are you Chen Jieyuan?"
A while ago, the report document was conveyed to Fucheng, and this time there was a solution to the yuan, and everyone in the yamen heard about it.
Chen Sanlang smiled and said, "It's Chen...... Wang Zhutou, can I say a few words to my sister?"
"Sister?"
Wang Zhutou looked at the woman, suddenly came to his senses, changed his face and smiled, and said busily: "Yes, yes." He drank away from the official who escorted 6 Da, and said to 6 Da with a smile: "Old 6, you are not authentic, my brother-in-law took the test to understand the yuan, and he didn't say a word, my godbrother, I was rude just now." β
6 was dumbfounded. (To be continued!)
