Winning every step of the Red Mansion

88

Jia Amnesty took a bunch of words and took them to taste with Jia Mu, saying that he wanted to choose a pair as a gift for Jia Hu's apprenticeship.Shi Fei'er saw that these writings were all written by famous masters, and they all had inscriptions and inscriptions appreciated by famous people, she clicked her tongue inwardly. Jia Shen's character, how could this thing be taken out of Jia Shen's pocket?

"I see that the appearance is good." Shi Fei'er nodded, "Which famous teacher did you choose for Hu'er, and spent such a large amount of money on it? Now you seem to have changed your temper, and you are more and more willing." .”

"The old lady is making fun of me again. I'm not just trying to find a good teacher for brother Hu." Jia She looked at this picture, then at that picture, still hesitating, "Old lady, are you seeing me?" If you don’t know the world, feel free to help me choose one!”

Shi Feier looked again and clicked on one of them: "In my opinion, this piece of Fu on the Red Cliff written by the Layman of Hengshan would be good." one of.Shi Fei'er went on to say: "Hengshan Layman's poems, calligraphy and paintings are excellent. This handwriting was written when he was 89 years old. Although when it comes to writing, his lower case script is even better, but I think this handwriting It's more freehand. It's good for people, characters, characters, and nature to send to teachers."

After hearing this, Jia She nodded and said: "The old lady is still knowledgeable. I also valued this painting, but I felt that the scale was a little small, so I hesitated."

Shi Fei'er thought to himself, this time it is really Jia Mu who is knowledgeable, that is, with Jia Mu's memory, I know that this Hengshan layman is Wen Zhengming. Speaking of this, Jia Mu is also very capable. It's really early to go, maybe Jia's mansion will be ruined faster.

"I chose this word for you, tell me, which teacher did you invite for Hu'er?"

Hearing this, Jia Amnesty sighed: "To tell you the truth, this matter is still troublesome. Does the old lady remember Peng Luo?"

"Peng Luo? That's a well-known strict teacher in Kyoto, and also your father-in-law's disciple. Why do you want Hu'er to join him?" Shi Fei'er asked.Of course Peng Luo knew it, but Jia She and Peng Luo had some feuds, how could Jia She lower his head?I'm afraid this matter is a little difficult to handle.

"Because the old father-in-law strongly recommended it, he even wrote a letter to Peng Luo, and the agreement is that I will bring Hu'er to the mansion on the fifth day of next month." Jia She said embarrassedly, "It turns out that Peng Luo is indeed Master Yan. He enjoys a high reputation, and secondly, he has bothered Lao Taishan once, so I have to give him an explanation." Jia She said this very reluctantly.

"How do I hear what you mean, it doesn't look like apprenticeship, but like going to the door to apologize." Shi Feier joked with a smile.

"Old lady, how did I know that I would have today! And at that time, I didn't know that he would worship the old father-in-law as his teacher in the future, and I didn't deliberately snatch the inkstone he picked! Laugh at him for being poor! If I knew so , I'll just let him!" Jia She patted his forehead.

"Okay, you don't have to regret it, it's been many years. Besides, it's said that Peng Luo has a big heart, so he probably shouldn't argue with you. Just relax, after all, Hu'er's future is important. You live according to your life, Prepare the apprentice ceremony. As for whether Hu'er and Peng Luo will have the fate of master and apprentice, it depends on the destiny."

Jia Amnesty sighed, the fate is probably difficult.If Lao Yueshan hadn't already sent a letter, he wouldn't have gone to Peng's mansion even if he killed himself.For so many years, Peng Luo saw that he had always passed by with his neck up, his face turned away, and his foot lifted, without even saying hello, so asking him to accept Jia Hu as his apprentice was simply whimsical.Alas, who made me want to grab someone's inkstone and still speak rudely, otherwise, where did I get so troublesome.

"It's too hot this year." Seeing that Jia She's forehead was about to sweat, Shi Fei'er said with a smile, "Go and wash."

"That's true. This year's day is also strange, not just ours. The newspaper said that the Northwest has been dry for two months, and the rain is pitifully low. I'm afraid the harvest will be reduced a lot." Jia Amnesty responded.

Drought?Shi Feier frowned upon hearing this.The past three years I have traveled through have been smooth, and I have never heard of any major disasters.If this is the case this year, maybe there will be a drought.

"By the way, is there any news from your uncle?" Shi Feier asked casually.

"It's the same as before, nothing new. I just heard that a small group of thieves were suppressed last month. My uncle said in a letter that some foreign flowers and plants were seized from the thieves. One of them tastes good. , thinking about bringing it back to the old lady to try next time."

Shi Fei'er listened and nodded. Jiamu, the elder brother, took care of Jiamu a lot, and he still wanted to take care of her after being so far away.

In the blink of an eye, it was the fifth day of the lunar new year, and Jia She had already prepared Jia Hu's apprentice ceremony.It's just because I didn't dare to have too many extravagant expectations for this visit, and because I was really helpless, I had no choice but to bite the bullet and go.

When they arrived at Peng's mansion, they handed over the greeting card, but they didn't ask Jia Amnesty and Jia Hu to wait, so someone greeted him in the study.Jia Amnesty was thinking, this Peng Luo had to wait for him, and he was mentally prepared, but when he entered the study, Peng Luo was already waiting for him in the study.

"Brother Ruize, long time no see." Jia She quickly saluted.

"Where is it, General Jia is still the same as before." Peng Luo returned the gift with a smile on his face.But why did Jia Amnesty always feel that Peng Luo's words were a bit harsh?But today is for Jia Hu's apprenticeship, if it can be done, just say a few words and say a few words.Jia Amnesty held this in mind, but he didn't really care too much.Pulling Jia Hu behind him, he said to Peng Luo: "This is Jia Hu, the dog. I came to the noble mansion today, and I hope Brother Ruize can accept the dog as a disciple." After finishing speaking, Jia She glanced at Jia Hu, Jia Hu He took a step forward and said to Peng Luo: "Student Jia Hu pays respects to teacher."

Peng Luo hurriedly waved his hands and said: "There is no rush to salute, General Jia, you know that I am quite strict in accepting apprentices, and I am also strict in disciplining my apprentices. They even gave me the nickname of a cold-faced strict teacher. General Jia, I Look at your delicate baby, I'm afraid you won't be able to endure this hardship."

As soon as these words came out, Jia Hu was taken aback.In Jia Amnesty's mind, there were two words - it's over.What you said clearly meant to push Hu'er out. Before you said anything, you just said that my family's Hu'er couldn't bear the hardship.How did you see it?

Jia She explained: "Jia Hu the dog, if you say other things are average, but you have a bit of stubbornness in reading, you should be able to work hard."

Peng Luo listened and nodded: "It's a bit according to your father's temperament." Jia She was even more displeased when he heard this. It doesn't mean that he has a bad temper and stubbornly stole his things.But now it's hard to say anything, after all, I still have something to ask for, and then I heard Peng Luo say: "My students have to pass the exam, and I will test you first. This is invisible, invisible, and subtle. Therefore, a gentleman Be cautious of your own. What do you mean?"

This question aroused the anger of Jia She, who was on the side. Asking a little boy who had just memorized three hundred thousand's mediocre meaning of prudence and independence, it was clear that he didn't like it.

Jia Hu shook his head when he heard this, and Peng Luo asked again: "The teacher is straight and warm, broad and shy, tough but not cruel, simple but not arrogant. What's the explanation?"

When Jia Amnesty heard this, he became even angrier. He came up with "The Doctrine of the Mean", and if he couldn't answer, he asked "Shangshu". This Peng Luo really looked down on Jia Hu.

Jia Hu tilted his head to look at Peng Luo, then at Jia She, and said, "My disciple is stupid, I don't understand."

Peng Luoruo suddenly said: "There is beauty in benevolence. If you choose not to be benevolent, how do you know? Do you understand?"

Jia Hu shook her head again and again.Jia Amnesty became even angrier when he heard this, this Peng Luo is also tricky, isn't this cursing himself around the corner?Jia Hu didn't know the Analects of Confucius, and he had read it anyway.Who is not benevolent?It means that Jia Hu was cast into the Jia family by mistake and chose to live with such an unkind person as himself.Sure enough, he shouldn't have come today, this Peng Luo is a narrow-minded person.What a waste of Lao Yueshan's kindness.Jia Amnesty suppressed all kinds of dissatisfaction in his heart so as not to explode in Peng's residence.

Peng Luo bowed his hands at Jia She, and Jia She naturally understood in his heart that he hadn't passed the exam.There are so many teachers in the world, but you are the only one with a crooked neck?I still want to hang here with you?Hmph, I still don't believe it!After leaving your house, I will go and invite Gao Ming for Hu'er.

Peng Luo was about to open his mouth when he heard Jia Hu say: "My disciple is stupid, I really don't know what the teacher said. However, I have also heard that there must be a teacher for three people walking together, and I also know that there is no end to this knowledge. Ask as you go, and when you encounter something you don't know, Asking more questions is the way to learn and improve. Please enlighten me today, sir."

What Jia Hu said was respectful, Peng Luo was stunned for a moment and said: "This is all the content in the Four Books and Five Classics, your master didn't mention it before?"

"Back to teacher, I'm not good at school. I've just finished learning Three Character Classics, Hundred Surnames, and Thousand Character Classics. I'm almost done learning rhymes. I just read Qian Family Poems." Jia Hu came along one by one, "But Master Gui also said that this Frozen three feet is not a day's cold, and knowledge and knowledge are not mastered in a day, no one can read a hundred books as soon as they hit the ground. You need to submerge yourself and take your time, and you can't chew it off even if you eat too much."

Jia Amnesty was quite pleased when he heard this, even if you, Peng Luo, could not have mastered a hundred books as soon as he landed.Peng Luo, you are holding back your bad intentions, you want to ask us everything, and then shut my Hu'er away, so as to embarrass me.Look at my Hu'er's answer is neither humble nor overbearing, let's see what you have to say.

At this time, looking at Peng Luo's face, there was a bit of admiration.Peng Luo nodded and said, "Your master's surname is Gui, but his name is Gui Xingjian?" Jia Hu nodded, and Peng Luo asked again: "Then do you know that your master taught filial piety in class and was angry with students, who was that student? "

Jia Amnesty's anger flared up again, and this matter got out, and what's the matter with you, Peng Luo, who is a good example of a teacher!

Jia Hu said: "It's the disciple. The disciple's words offended the teacher. The disciple said that Guo Ju was stupid and filial, and said something else." Jia Hu felt that this was not a good thing. After thinking about it, he still felt that he was alone. Forget it, don't pull Jia Zhu on and cause trouble for Jia Zhu. I heard from my father that this teacher is very powerful.

"What a collision, just a reasonable argument. Your temper suits my appetite. I want this apprentice!"

ah?Jia Amnesty was suddenly dumbfounded. Didn't he try to make things difficult just now? Why did he accept Jia Hu all of a sudden?

Jia Hu was also taken aback, and asked her own question, but she didn't answer it, thinking that there was nothing going on, why did it suddenly change?But today, I came to apprentice to the teacher, so the teacher wants to accept me, so I am naturally happy.He hurriedly asked the teacher to sit down, and saluted respectfully, Jia She stopped thinking about it at this time, and hurriedly asked to present the six rituals and the ceremony of appreciating the teacher.Peng Luo was really happy when he saw Wen Zhengming's Chibi Fu.

Seeing that the gift was right, Jia Amnesty was also relieved, it was the dream of many scholars nowadays to be able to worship under Peng Luo's name.This Peng Luo palace examination top three, Jinshi and rank, is also very prosperous in the court, high reputation, good knowledge, and all the disciples under his school are very good, all the good things in this world have been taken by one person.

Peng Luo accepted the gift, so he should return the gift to the students.But at this time Peng Luo was silent, looked at Jia She and said, "Inkstone."

Jia She thought to himself, just now I thought you Peng Luo was pleasing to the eye, and turned over the old score again, but now that my son worships that person as his teacher, this ritual has come to the last step, so let's bear with it.He hurriedly ordered someone to go back to the mansion and quickly send the inkstone.

When the inkstone arrived, Jia She passed the inkstone to Peng Luo without hesitation, and Peng Luo also gave Jia She a 500 taels silver ticket.If that's all, Jia Amnesty would be fine.But in a blink of an eye, Peng Luo sent the inkstone to Jia Hu as a gift in return, and said, "This was used by Wen Tianxiang, a famous general in the previous dynasty. It is a good item. You can use it for life. Don't spoil it."

Jia Hu looked at his father, then at his teacher and nodded.Jia Amnesty was so angry that his face was almost turning blue.

The author has something to say: ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah, I am simply stupid to death.

In short, I posted this chapter wrong.How stupid.

Just found out this morning, OTZ

...irresponsible mind...

Jia Amnesty: Peng Luo is a narrow-minded person!

Peng Luo: What did you say?

Jia Amnesty: Careful!An inkstone has been remembered for so long!Be careful!

Peng Luo: I just think you are unworthy, that thing has been spoiled in your hands.

Jia Amnesty: What did you say? !

Peng Luo: By the way, I am really narrow-minded.I will remember what you said today.Please be careful with your words and deeds!

Jia Amnesty: ...What do you want!

Peng Luo: Hehe
