Chapter 95： Apprentice!

It's been more than a month since the Dragon Boat Festival, and it was the hottest dog days. Yangzhou City was as hot as a stove.

Since the Dragon Boat Festival, Lu Zheng’s name has spread throughout Yangzhou. His anecdotes at the Zhishui Cultural Meeting and Zhang’s banquets have been circulated among the major paintings and wine shops in Yangzhou, and his song "The Toast" has also become A masterpiece recognized by Yangzhou literary talents, this poem has established his status as a top talent in Yangzhou, and its limelight has already overshadowed the hot four Shishui Masters.

Lu Zheng became famous, and Guanshan Academy expelled Lu Zheng from the academy, which became everyone's after-dinner joke. And Zhang Haoran of the Zhang family has become a joke harlequin in people's mouth. Zhang Haoran's poor performance at the Zhang family banquet that day was even used by the storyteller in the restaurant.

Since the Dragon Boat Festival, Zhang Haoran has not shown up again, but someone saw him living in Guanshan Academy every day, but he lost his former arrogance and air, and he was rather depressed and decadent. Zhang Haoran, the star of Zhang's hope, seemed to have fallen like this.

After the Dragon Boat Festival, Lu Zheng did not show up, but those who followed Lu Zheng discovered that there was an extra private school named "Sanweizhai" in Luoxiang Old Street, Xinhe County, and the master of the private school was Luo Guancaijuren.

Lu Zheng is said to be studying in "Sanweizhai" because there are many scholars who want to enter "Sanweizhai". There are only ten places in "Sanweizhai". The amount of money for repairing a year is as high as fifty taels, but Luo Guan only accepts his disciples on the day It is said that scholars who came to sign up squeezed through Luoxiang Old Street.

...

Green bamboo forest, in the early morning, the breeze in the bamboo forest slowly, cool and comfortable.

The boy is making tea, the girl is playing the qin, and Yan Lao is holding a chess piece, lying on his back in the chair and laughing, his wrinkled face is extremely rich and vivid.

"Interesting, interesting! This chess game is really interesting!" Yan Lao said.

"Master Yan, I lost this game, but you have to help me in this matter right now. Guanshan Academy was led by Chengdong, and now it's like this, is Zhang Haoran, the son of the Zhang family, just sinking into it? It's a pity after all, don't you always say?" It was no one else who played chess with him, it was Shan Chang Guiliang from Guanshan Academy.

Gui Liang paused, and then said: "Also, at the banquet that day, I listened to your words and finally resulted in that kind of evil result. If not, I would have mastered the situation from the beginning. Where would things get into the field? Therefore, Master Yan, you must help with this matter!"

Yan Laojiang put down his chess piece and said, "If you intervened from the beginning and controlled the situation, there would be no poems like "Jiang Jinjiu" coming out. With this poem, it is worth sacrificing ten children of the Zhang family!"

Gui Liang was stunned, and blurted out: "If Lu Zheng really didn't know how to write poems and essays, what would be the situation that day? He probably won't have a bright future from now on. He was a very good seed. If it were to be ruined like this, Yan Isn’t it a pity for the teacher?"

Yan Lao frowned, shook his head and said, "It's really a good seedling, so you can experience storms and waves, because a small banquet will fail. Can such seedlings be good seedlings?

Mencius said that if the sky descends from the sky to the people of Sri Lanka, he must first suffer from his mind, his muscles and bones, and his body is empty. The young people of the Zhang family have fallen in this way. Who can blame this? "

Gui Liang was speechless. He was a great scholar of Yangzhou, but he never had the upper hand in front of Master Yan. He talked about gentleness and righteousness and disapproved of Master Yan's harshness and indifference. But once the two of them talked, he would fall into disapproval. Downwind.

Gui Liang often reflects, he feels that his scholarship has broken thousands of books and traveled thousands of miles. However, Master Yan's scholarship is high in the temple, long-term wait on the side of the emperor, and the center of the imperial court. The difference is too great, the way of a saint, forgiveness and kindness. But the real officialdom is intrigue, intrigue, and factions. Officials read the books of sages, but how many really follow the way of sages?

When Gui Liang thought of this, he couldn't help but sighed a long sigh. For more than a month, the days at Guanshan Academy were difficult. In the Yangzhou academic circle, Guanshan Academy became a joke, and the teachers in the academy became the subject of teasing by fellow friends. Sun Yibo even dared not leave the house.

Because of Gui Liang's special status in Yangzhou, others did not dare to mock him, but his reputation was also greatly affected, and Zeng Guoning had faintly overwhelmed him.

Also, the key is that the morale of the students in the academy is very low, and all of them have been hit, especially Zhang Haoran, who can’t hold his head up now. In Gui Liang’s view, Zhang Haoran is still very young, just a child, and he has been devastated. It's a shame.

Therefore, Gui Liang’s idea is to hope that Master Yan will come forward to persuade Lu Zheng to return to Guanshan Academy, and he himself will invite Luo Guancai, even if it is a visit to the thatched cottage, Luo Guancai will be invited back to the academy, so as to preserve Guanshan Academy’s membership. Decent, but also can give Zhang Haoran a chance to refresh himself.

It's just his idea, how can Master Yan support it?

"Zijing! You, I will give you two words:'naive'! There is a saying that it is hard to get over water, and it is hard to get through with broken mirrors. Things have come to this point. If you don't think about how to go forward, you want to drive backwards instead. Say you are naive or not?" Yan Shidao.

"In this world, if you really want to act, you can't ask for help. If you want Lu Zheng to return to the academy, you have to use means to make him have to go back. You want Luo Guan to listen to the greetings. What's the use of looking around the thatched roof? If you can get one The paper recommendation book is better than your every-going thatched cottage." Yan Shi said again.

Gui Liang was silent in his heart, Master Yan’s words were all the most logical and famous, but he Gui Liang, a dignified gentleman, disdain to exercise power and tricks, if he really wants to use it, it is also a last resort.

Just like now, Gui Liang hesitated very much, wondering if he should use some tricks.

The two sitting opposite each other on both sides of the chessboard, silent to each other, outside the bamboo forest, the sound of horseshoes, Zhang's green carriage came over, Gui Liang's brow wrinkled slightly, and a boy in the bamboo forest greeted him.

After a while, a young scholar walked in from the bamboo forest. Who was it if it wasn't Lu Zheng?

Gui Liang hadn't seen Lu Zheng for more than a month, and found that Lu Zheng had changed a lot, he looked more calm and mature, the childishness on his face had faded, and he had more agility, and he was kind of like a handsome young man!

Lu Zheng didn't seem to expect to meet Gui Liang here. He was taken aback for a moment, and then paced over to give a big gift, saying, "Hello Master Yan, Hello Master Gui!"

Master Yan remained silent, Gui Liang's eyes fell on him, and said, "Brother Zheng, is it okay for more than a month?"

Lu Zheng said, "Master Lao misses that everything is okay. I dare not slack in my homework and studies, and Master Yan does not dare to slack in my schoolwork, so I have never had time to visit Master Gui!"

Gui Liang was taken aback for a moment, and suddenly turned his head to look at Yan Lao. His lips twitched but he didn't say a word. Lu Zheng said, "Master Gui, Master Yan taught me mainly about the science of the world. Master Luo taught me crafting. I originally wanted to learn the Confucianism and Mencius from Master Gui, but I have never dared to visit you..."

Gui Liang stared at Lu Zheng with a very complicated expression. After a long time, he said: "Guanshan Academy has been in a bad situation since your masters and apprentices left. You and I have learned the ways of Confucius and Mencius. Can you return and be willing to return to the academy? "

Lu Zheng said, "Master Gui, there are many snobbish people in the world. The moment the disciple left Guanshan Academy, he had evil consequences. Now whether I return to the academy or not, I can't change this evil result.

Master Gui, you think, everything is right and wrong. If the disciple goes back, I'm afraid there will be a villain who cheats on the tongue, but it may cause more disputes.

So, the best thing to do is to be silent. He laughed and let him laugh. I didn't move. The masters concentrated on preaching and the students concentrated on reading. As time passed, those rumors disappeared naturally! "

Lu Zheng's remarks were very plain, but when they heard Gui Liang's ears, they were deafening. There was a feeling of turning the clouds and seeing the sun, and his heart suddenly opened up.

Lu Zheng was right. At this time, if Gui Liang could really make Lu Zheng master and apprentice back to Guanshan Academy, would Lu Zheng still be the same as before? He is already a well-known talent in Yangzhou, and his limelight is not known to be much higher than Zhang Haoran.

And when Gui Liang visited the thatched cottage and invited Luo Guancai back, could Luo Guan still live under Sun Yibo? Lu Zheng's sentence "things are not human beings" pointed out the crux of the problem.

If Lu Zheng and Luo Guancai really returned to Guanshan Academy, there would probably be more discussions outside. Sun Yibo would only face greater humiliation, and Zhang Haoran would face a greater blow.

These Dao ideals understand that a dollar is worthless, but when they didn't expect it, they couldn't pass it through. The key is that Gui Liang knew that Yan Lao must have understood it a long time ago, but his old man just didn't say anything bad. When he thought of this, Gui Liang felt ashamed and said:

"Fine, nothing, this matter is no longer mentioned!"

He said these words and let out a long sigh, but he couldn't let go of the loss in his heart.

He stood up, saluted Yan Lao, and said, "Master Yan, I should come back early in the morning to disturb you, and I will play chess with you in the future!"

Old Yan laughed loudly and said, "Go, go, and understand the word'naive' I gave you. If you understand these two words, you can be regarded as a real celebrity."

Gui Liang said, "Master Yan has understood the word'naive' a long time ago, but still dare not be a celebrity. Why is this?"

Gui Liang suddenly said these words, and fought back very suddenly. Yan Lao unexpectedly rolled his eyes when he was cross-examined, and there was nothing to say.

After a long time, Yan Lao laughed, Gui Liang flicked his long sleeves and turned to leave. He walked about forty or fifty steps before suddenly standing still, and then slowly turning his head to look at Lu Zheng and said:

"Brother Zheng, if you really want to learn the Tao of Confucius and Mencius and the sage, you will come to my cottage every five days. There is now a picture hanging in my cottage, "The bells and drums are not expensive, I hope I won’t be intoxicated Wake up again.', you are about to drink in one song, saying that you have all the pleasure of drinking..."
