Chapter 336: Meeting Wang Mingyang, Yasheng's Heart
Shen Luoying did enough of the host's hospitality, introducing one special dish after another for Chen Jiu.
Chen Jiu now finally knows what a hillbilly is, the gap between himself and the children of the big family is too big, not the gap in cultivation, but knowledge.
After he was full of wine and food, Chen Jiu's eyes flashed with a hazy brilliance, and his tongue almost ate it, it was so delicious, but it was nothing more than that.
"I'll go rest first, and I'll visit the teacher tomorrow."
Shen Luoying nodded, and Chen Jiu went to the guest room accompanied by his subordinates.
When he came to Shangjing, Chen Jiu wanted to find Chao Xiaoyu, his sister, and his subordinates.
There is a good saying, a fence with three piles, a hero with three gangs, although the lonely family is very happy, but it is inevitable that there are some deficiencies when it really starts.
On the second day, Chen Jiu got up early to pick up his textbooks, which were all instructions made by Chen Jiu while reading along the way, and when he went to Wang Mingyang's house, he asked him for guidance.
Shen Luoying is dressed in a green shirt and men's clothes, which looks like that, but a little sissy.
Wang Mingyang's mansion is very large, at least not inferior to the Taiping Palace.
There is no stone lion at the door, only two volumes of heroic couplets, and there are naturally students shuttling at the door, wanting to find a way to enter the palace and ask Wang Mingyang for guidance.
There is no need for much, as long as Wang Mingyang is willing to give a word, then this student can ascend to the sky in one step and become famous.
It's a pity that Wang Mingyang's mansion is not something that can be entered if you want to, even if it is a dignitary.
Chen Jiu came to the door of the palace, and a servant who was guarding the door was sitting on a chair at the door, looking at a miscellaneous book with relish.
"It is worthy of a scholarly family. Even servants can read and write," Chen Jiu sighed and walked towards the doorman.
In the distance, all the scholars who shuttled here and did not give up their hearts suddenly came to their senses when they saw this scene, and they came to the wall again.
"Our lord doesn't meet you scholars, you can go back," the doorman said without raising his head.
Chen Jiu was not angry, knowing that this doorman must have been bored by these scholars, and it was difficult not to get bored by people every day.
"In Xia Chen Jiu, come to visit the teacher, and please pass it on your behalf."
"Are you Chen Jiu?" the doorman put down the book and looked at Chen Jiu suspiciously.
"Replace it as if it were fake".
The doorman looked Chen Jiuyi up and down and said, "The skin is delicate and crystalline, and the handling of things is tepid. There is a style that is different from the rest. If it's really you, you can go in directly, the master has ordered, you will go in when you come. There is no need for communication".
"Thank you for that."
After finishing speaking, Chen Jiu and Shen Luoying walked in.
The scholars outside were dumbfounded at this time. Got in. This is in, I didn't expect it to be so easy to get in.
Suddenly, all the gentlemen rushed over, and the doorman's face changed. Quickly stand up and close the door.
It didn't take long for the whole of Upper Kyoto to know that two scholars had entered Wang Mingyang's mansion, and the palace, which was said to be even more difficult to enter than the Jinluan Palace, had finally been stepped into.
Walking along a small road, I saw Wang Mingyang practicing calligraphy in a gazebo.
Dressed in white, the pen walks the dragon and snake, and the purple qi naturally echoes.
Although it is autumn, Wang Mingyang is still a single coat.
After a cup of tea, Wang Mingyang put down his pen, and Chen Jiu hurriedly handed over a cup of tea: "The student has seen Mr."
"Well, you came later than I thought," Wang Mingyang took the tea.
Chen Jiu smiled: "The student was delayed because of mundane matters."
"Have you ever fallen behind in the course?".
"I was about to ask Mr. for instructions," Chen Jiu respectfully handed over the book he had prepared.
Wang Mingyang took Chen Jiu's book and didn't look at it, but put it on the table, turned his head and said earnestly: "You should know the realm of Confucian cultivation."
"Self-cultivation, Qi family, governing the country and leveling the world, meritorious service, morality, and speech".
"That's right, your cultivation is still at the stage of self-cultivation and Qi family, do you have any plans in the future?" Wang Mingyang looked at Chen Jiu.
Chen Jiu shook his head: "Students don't know, students have been humble since childhood, and there is no way to enter the officialdom, how can they talk about governing the country."
As long as some disciples break through the Qi family, they will arrange for their disciples to enter the officialdom and complete the governance of the country, which is the advantage of the big family, which can be compared with the poor family.
"There are many ups and downs in the disciple's life, and he has to rely on martial arts to save his life, but I didn't expect that along the way, martial arts cultivation will be successful, and Confucian cultivation will not be able to progress."
Wang Mingyang sighed when he heard this: "It's not your fault, but you have a chance to enter the officialdom in this scientific expedition, and your breakthrough to Confucianism is here, is your heart still in Confucianism?"
Chen Jiu was silent when he heard this, he had the Heavenly Dao Creation, and he had a small world, as well as all kinds of strange treasures, he was no longer the young man who let people eat at the beginning, and he took refuge in the academy back then just to save his life, and now that he has the strength to protect himself, why bother to embark on the road of Confucianism.
Seeing that Chen Jiu didn't speak, Wang Mingyang sighed and took a sip of tea: "There are many ways to practice, in fact, I feel that the fastest breakthrough is Confucianism, thirty years ago, I was just a little scholar with you who was stuck in the realm of the Qi family, and then I got a prince who took a fancy to it, arranged it in the government, and broke through the realm of governing the country, and then the country was in turmoil, fifteen years ago, I assisted the prince, with the help of the country's fortune, by leaps and bounds, until the country was pacified, I have broken through the second stage of Yasheng."
looked at Chen Jiu, who bowed his head, "I'm talking to you about these words, do you understand what I mean?"
"The student understands that Mr. is trying to say that Confucianism can take advantage of the great dragon of the state as long as it has the opportunity."
"Yes, the children can be taught," Wang Mingyang said approvingly.
"Now students don't know which way to go, but there is a path that students will never give up, this road is the lifeblood of students, as for the cultivation of Confucianism, to be honest, students are just seeking the identity of Confucian children to find protection."
Wang Mingyang sighed: "It's a pity, I met you a little late, otherwise you would have the opportunity to become an ancient saint sooner or later with your qualifications."
"The incompetence of the students disappointed Mr."
"It's okay, this matter is not up to anyone, I will make arrangements for you, as for how far you can go on the road of Confucianism, it depends on you."
After saying this, Wang Mingyang looked at Shen Luoying, who was standing on the side: "This is the little girl doll of the Pingyang Wang family, you kid has peach blossom luck."
Chen Jiu smiled, and Shen Luoying became even more red-faced, with her head buried in her chest.
After joking, Wang Mingyang said with a straight face: "Boy, although I don't know what you think, but I want to tell you that there are only two ways to get ahead in the dynasty, one is Wen, and the other is Wu, even if you are a martial artist, you have to understand Wen, you can't put down this Wen."
"Students naturally know and follow his teachings."
"The parties in the court are strict, and now the internal doctrine dispute is even more fierce, and people outside the party are even more severely attacked by the court, you have to be careful in the future."
"Is the person outside the Fang that Mr. is referring to a monk who has practiced the Fang Immortal Dao exercises?"
"Yes and no, there is no shortage of people in the court who practice the Fang Immortal Dao exercises, we are fighting those sects in the Fang Immortal Dao, they are like moths, once they preach in the human race, they will take away the luck of the court, how can the court tolerate them, this group of fools do not know the time, do not know the geographical advantages, and the court is against them, and the way to die is also."
In the morning, the conversation between the three of them passed, and the lunch at noon was very simple, and it was hard to imagine that Wang Mingyang's Yasheng lunch in a mansion was actually Qingshui tofu and two cabbages.
Not to mention Shen Luoying for such a lunch, even Chen Jiu was dumbfounded, should it be like this.
Looking at the expressions of the two, Wang Mingyang naturally knew what the two of them thought: "Do you think I want to live in this mansion, it's not a gift from the saint, the grace of the saint is glorious."
"The teacher is really uncomfortable as an official, even the food and residence have to be under the jurisdiction of the saint, how can there be any freedom, although he can live for a long time and obtain a lot of rights, but how different is it from a puppet."
Wang Mingyang smiled and shook his head: "You don't understand, the whole world is not the king's land, and the land is not the king's map, who in this world is not under the control of the emperor, not to mention the countless people's hearts and freedoms that can be exchanged for sacrificing me, why is it not worth it."
"The teacher is broad-minded, thinking about all living beings in the world, I really can't do it, I just want one person to be detached, and the students are not far away." (To be continued......)
