Chapter 285: The heart is on fire, and the soul is revealed
Hearing someone shouting names, Zhang Yingchao followed the sound and saw that there were three men, all dressed as servants, and at first glance, they were a bit powerful.
"It's actually three family members?"
The Confucian scholars at the table all saw the comer, some frowned, and some looked worried.
"I'm Zhang Yingchao, why are you looking for me?" Zhang Yingchao saw the visitor, but he didn't mean to retreat, and got up directly.
"Oh?" "Oh?" the family looked over, and the leader of the man hugged his fists and said, "Zhang Gongzi, I am the Han Mansion family Ding, and I was ordered to invite you over, and my second master wants to see you." ”
"Sure enough, it's Han Fu! Brother Zhang, I can't agree!" When a few people next to him heard this, they all secretly screamed that it was not good, and persuaded in a low voice.
Zhang Yingchao's brows furrowed slightly, and a hint of anger flashed in his eyes.
"It's really Hanfu! Could it really be that Brother Liu and Brother Li are right?"
Thinking like this, Zhang Yingchao said to a few Confucian students around him: "Thank you for your concern, it's just that the Han Mansion is the residence of the Xiangguo, and it has its own way of governance, and the servants in the mansion don't dare to fake orders, since Han Zhuo wants to see me, how can there be any reason to avoid it." ”
His words seemed to praise Han Fu, but in fact, he was secretly sarcastic, although the three family members couldn't hear the deep meaning, they also knew that it was not a good word, and they immediately lost their good faces.
Then, a group of several people left with stiff faces.
Looking at the backs of Zhang Yingchao and Jia Ding far away, the people at the table lost their appetite and shook their heads.
"Brother Zhang is too upright and doesn't know how to be tactful. ”
"Although these three people are family members, after all, they are from the Han Mansion, and they should not be offended by the prime minister's concierge. ”
"Yes, when you are talented, it is a celebrity and arrogance to do this, and it can be passed on as a good story, and now there is such a thing, it is disrespectful in the eyes of others, even if it is spread. Others also want to give him an evaluation that he doesn't know what to do. ”
......
A few people whispered, talking and talking, and there was a taste of sympathy.
These Confucian scholars, each of whom has a meritorious reputation, most of them are high-ranking people, and they will appear in the Eastern Capital, on the one hand, they are in a hurry, preparing to participate in the next year's examination, and on the other hand, because the Eastern Capital is an outstanding person and there are many academies. All kinds of theories emerge in endlessly, come here to study, bathe in literature and thought.
However, before coming to the Eastern Capital again, they didn't know each other, and the reason why they were able to sit here and drink was inseparable from King Nayan.
This eastern capital is prosperous, but there are also many incidents, not long ago. There is a scholar named Huang Yan who mentioned anti-poetry in his family restaurant, and this person also has some skills to fan the people's uprising. Although it was quickly quelled and the impact was not large, it gave some truth, and King Yan was one of them.
This prince used the excuse to suppress the thief. Sitting in Xuankou, arresting Confucian scholars and stealing Wensi. Many of the Confucian scholars here were victims of this incident.
They were imprisoned together in Xuankou Town, so they got acquainted, and after regaining their freedom, they went north together, and after coming and going, their friendship came out.
However, it didn't take long for someone to discover the problem.
Some people found that their own knowledge, article memory, and understanding of scriptures and meanings were gone, and even some of the etiquette and etiquette could not be remembered clearly.
The subsequent bad news was one after another, Wen Si's memories were the foundation they used to climb and maintain their status, and as soon as Wen Si was gone, everything began to collapse like a castle in the sky.
Zhang Yingchao is just one of them.
"Brother Zhang is in trouble, and even the servants dare to bully him, which makes people indignant, but what is the difference between us and others? I heard that Brother Liu was recommended to Jingshen Academy this time, but he failed to pass the examination at the entrance yesterday, and was humiliated in public by a child of an official eunuch. ”
"Yes, at that time, I was so angry that I almost made a move, but the other party came over with a look and calmed me. ”
"Those children of official eunuchs, since childhood, have brocade clothes and jade food, have medicinal food to replenish their vitality, can practice martial arts, and are naturally strong and strong, really do it, Brother Liu, you can only be beaten, not to mention, you will be in trouble afterwards. ”
"It makes sense, we originally had to rely on our own efforts, accumulate knowledge, and change our fortunes, but now we don't even have knowledge, what do we compare with those people?"
Since ancient times, they have been poor and rich in martial arts, and the practice of martial arts must develop the potential of flesh and blood, constantly overdraw the vitality, and need to be supplemented by external objects, which often costs a lot of money.
This is also the reason for the gradual decline of the six arts of the gentleman, not that people are unwilling to learn today, but like archery and royalty, how can ordinary people have the conditions to learn?
Moreover, although the imperial examination has opened up a new path of humanity, but the development of this day, there are still restrictions, not to mention anything else, rich families can easily buy classics, invite famous teachers, and the children of poor families do not have this ability, but have to consume family savings, fortunately, as long as you can read and write, you can find some books to transcribe and memorize, if you can put down your son, write some couplets and family letters for others, and you can also supplement your family.
However, for many of the Confucian scholars present, these have disappeared.
Without knowledge, they don't even have the confidence to speak, just like rootless duckweed, their hearts are empty, fearful, and they feel that there is no hope for the future, and many of them even have a tendency to be muddy.
"A few days ago, I also saw two Confucian scholars, who ran out of coils, and they didn't want to beg, alas, ......"
Several people were lamenting, suddenly!
Wisps of fresh breeze came from all around, through the windows, lifted the curtains, and poured into the restaurant.
Then, the breeze blew on the face, and a table of Confucian students was stunned in place!
In that wind, there is a trace of literary thought, along the chain of cause and effect, from the seven orifices into the hearts of Confucian students.
The scriptures, articles, knowledge and memory, and experience and perception resurfaced in their hearts, took root, expanded little by little, and felt the changes in their hearts, and many people's eyes gradually moistened.
..................
The back house of the Han Mansion.
Zhang Yingchao sat on a chair, waiting for Han Zhuo's summons, but there were no servants or maids around, not even those serving tea.
The servants who live in the house are the most discerning, knowing that Han Fu, the henchman of the second master, does not want to see this scholar, how can there be someone who does not open his eyes to come?
However, this kind of scene fell in Zhang Yingchao's eyes, but it was an insult, and he couldn't help but feel angry, and his face slowly turned red.
At this moment, a lazy voice came from the side-
"Zhang Sheng, come here, the second master is calling you. "The sound is loud. I saw Han Fu walk out of the room, glanced at Zhang Yingchao, and frowned slightly, "What are you doing in a daze? Don't hurry up!" This greeting seemed to be reprimanding the family servants.
Zhang Yingchao was furious, stood up from the chair, walked in front of Han Fu in three steps and two steps, and looked at each other coldly!
Wow!
Han Fu was stunned by Zhang Yingchao's momentum for a while, and after retreating a few steps. Only then did he come to his senses, and said angrily: "What are you going to do? Do you want to make trouble in the Han Mansion?
"You are a minion, how dare you represent the Han Mansion? It's just a dog fighting people!" Zhang Yingchao left such a sentence, flicked his sleeves, and strode to see Han Zhuo.
It's just that his eyes are full of grief, helplessness and desolation.
"It's the other way around! It's the other way around!" Han Fu's face changed sharply, and he was very angry by the sentence "dog fights human power", and he noticed the eyes of the servants and maids around him, and he felt like he couldn't come to the stage.
"I'd like to see what you don't have the slightest knowledge of. How can you be majestic in front of the second master! When you are reprimanded again, you will have to suffer a lot!"
As the words fell, he also took a step forward and followed.
But it didn't take a few steps. A wisp of wind fell from the sky and swept past Han Fu's side, making him shiver and look left and right. But nothing was found.
And the breeze that contains a strong sense of literature and thought has been tactful all the way, catching up with Zhang Yingchao, who is walking forward. Follow the seven orifices to merge into its body.
Then, Zhang Yingchao's body trembled.
..................
At the same time.
In several inns in the Eastern Capital, a famous Confucian student who was curled up trembled at the same time.
In several streets and alleys in the Eastern Capital, several men who had lost their souls raised their heads with surprises on their faces.
In several ruined temples outside the Eastern Capital, several scrawny scholars were also shocked, and then wailed.
Outside the eastern capital, there were also many disheartened Confucian scholars who were wrapped in a gust of wind, and then their spirit and spirit changed directly, and they were no longer depressed before.
......
Something similar happened at this moment, in many places.
One by one, the luck of Confucianism was deflected with the departure of Wen Si, and some were even about to dissipate, but at this moment, Wen Si returned, re-suppressed, and let their luck settle down.
Moreover, the joy of regaining the lost is a cleansing of the soul, which makes the Confucian students feel emotional, and their mood changes.
This kind of transformation, along the causal connection, reversed and passed into Qiu Yan's soul.
These entanglements of cause and effect did not pull Qiu Yan's soul, but dissipated in the soul like dry wood thrown into the flames, and provoked changes in the soul, and even the cause and effect of ambition that was entangled in the body disintegrated a small part, and then, the whirlpool of the soul that had been stagnant for a long time turned rapidly.
The situation of those Confucian students at this moment was also reflected in Qiu Yan's heart, making him see the warmth and coldness of human feelings and the changes in the world, and he couldn't help sighing.
Then, the soul became a whirlpool, bursting out with a strong absorbing force, and the four bookshelves were taken in the first time, and then, the three fires on Qiu Yan's shoulders also swayed, and zuihou flew out and blended into it.
Spin, spin!
The whole soul rotates and contracts, and Zuihou is actually condensed into a point!
This shines brightly!
The next moment, the light returned to the flesh and body.
Suddenly, Qiu Yan's whole body trembled, his flesh and blood boiled, and his vitality, strength, and aura rolled all over his body, separating wisps and converging towards that little bit of light!
That bit of light, along with his whole body, released a little flame.
The fire in the heart is revealed!
Around the heart fire, the light and shadow are distorted, and a little outline is gradually constructed, which seems to be a seal character.
Soon, the seal character was clear, and the word "knowledge" came out, living in the soul, sitting on one side, Qiu Yan suddenly felt something more in his heart, down-to-earth and thick, knowing that his own luck was suppressed by the fire of his heart.
Then, luck and seal characters were entangled, and the three fires of Fu Lu Shou also flew out of the heart fire, and these many things were intertwined, becoming clearer and more condensed.
Qiu Yan realized that the time had come, so he raised his hand and pinched the seal.
"Spirit, condensation!" (to be continued......)
