Jiang Shimin also laughed and said: It was approved last month, and after Xiao Wu found out, he felt that he had no hope of taking the Beijing camp next year, and he cried.Lin Fangxu, as an experienced rookie, leaned back in the chair, and chuckled after listening: According to the younger brother's opinion, Second Brother Jiang doesn't have to be so discouraged, just go to the exam next year, this strategy article for the martial arts examination, is it still required to be written like an imperial examination article?
It is estimated that as long as he can explain his military strategy clearly.Jiang Shimin was surprised: Dongsheng has not yet entered the court, so he knows about the court!
When I came to Hangzhou to ask for a break, the Governor said so.Lin Fangxu was about to say a few words modestly, but was interrupted by a shout from Jiang Shiwu by the lake: Big brother, cousin, look, Xiaoyun is fishing for a red carp!
Jiang Shimin turned his head and saw that Xiao Yun was kicking Xiao Wu with a big voice with a fish, with a sly and cute smile on his face, and then looked at Chen Kai who was carrying a flower basket next to him, and his heart was blocked.Jiang Shimin has the same idea as his father, and feels that the two are not very suitable, and his father only made a verbal agreement with his aunt, but his aunt intentionally or unintentionally publicized that he is a good friend, and everyone knows it, because of this incident, his father has not given his father a good face until now.As an outsider who knew that the two had a verbal marriage contract, Lin Fangxu obviously forgot about it at this time, only the man in red was carrying the red fish in his eyes, not to mention Chen Kai in the jacquard basket in the distance, and even the big man Jiang Shiwu was regarded as an invisible person by him.The arrival of Hou Fulang in Wu'an seemed to be a signal, and then the in-laws and friends of the merchants came one after another, and the merchants were very busy.Except for some people who must be seen, Xu Zhongkang and Lin Fangxu either stay in the guest house most of the time or go out to play by themselves.In a blink of an eye, it was September 18, Shang Zhongyan's birthday.Since Shang Zhongyan resigned, he has lived a life of seclusion, and in the past, he only invited some relatives and friends to eat a bowl of longevity noodles.However, this time it was a wide invitation, and from the morning, Suzhou officials have arrived, and the heads of the Suzhou family are also not lacking.A moment later, when everyone was almost there, there was a decree from the palace that the eunuch came to congratulate him on his birthday with a congratulatory gift from the emperor.Shang Zhongyan was supported by Shang Tan, went to the main courtyard to receive the reward, and beckoned Liu Gonggong to enter the door.After the two of them took their seats in the main hall, the guests came in one after another, saying something like the East China Sea and Shoubi Nanshan.Lin Fangxu's juniors had already paid homage to his master early in the morning, and Lin Fangxu sent a pair of antique calligraphy and paintings prepared for him by his eldest brother when he came to Hangzhou as a birthday gift.After the juniors kowtowed in a proper manner, they all went to move freely, Lin Fangxu drank tea with Xu Zhongkang and Jiang Shimin in the corner, and watched Shang Zhongyan introduce Shang Tan to his friends and businessmen in the lobby, which is the theme of this banquet.Shang Zhong is drowning in the old age, Shang Tan won the township test five kui, and this banquet is actually held in order to push the future speakers of the business to the front of the stage, and also to allow Shang Tan to better take over the political resources in the hands of his grandfather in the future.Lin Fangxu looked at the old and young among the crowd, imagining that one day in the future, there might be a junior of the Lin family standing next to him, and then he handed him the resources in his hand, and also handed over the burden of the family to him.The handover meeting of the merchant was completely concluded after three days, and the guests of the merchant had basically left, Lin Fangxu was of course happy, after all, he came to study, not to play and eat.However, not everyone was happy, and at this time, Jiang Shiwu was trying to persuade his father to play for a few more days before going back.Where is Shang Daoyu willing to agree, and said: Your father doesn't care, but your sister-in-law is still pregnant and must go back!
Jiang Shiwu said without thinking: Then let the eldest brother go back first, wouldn't it be good.Shang Daoyu glared at him and said: Your eldest brother is a big man, and besides, he has to go to Beijing to be on duty, how much role can he play.Jiang Shimin, who didn't have much effect: Shang Daoyu looked at his son's depressed appearance, thought about it and said: Why don't you and Xiaoyun stay in Hangzhou for a while, and also do your filial piety in front of your grandfather for your father, and when you can try, you can go back to Beijing with Tan'er.Unlike Jiang Shiwu, Chen Kai was forced to stay by his mother, and she said something like this: You and Xiaoyun are already engaged, stay with him and get along more.Chen Kai said reluctantly: He doesn't like to play with me, besides, it's just a verbal marriage contract between you and your uncle Jiang He didn't wait for him to finish speaking and said angrily: Shut up!
Mother finally got your uncle to nod, and you dismantled the stage?
Mother is not for your good, you have inherited an empty title now, whether you can hold a certain official position in the future will depend on your uncle, do you expect your brothers?
Chen Kai saw that his mother was angry, his face turned pale, but he still said like a mosquito: Even if I don't marry my cousin, my uncle will definitely help me.After Jiang He heard this, he didn't want to pay attention to him, heh, people have their own sons, when will it be your turn.Although Jiang He didn't want to admit it anymore, the fact was that since she married into the Chen family, she was no longer Jiang Marrying a daughter, but a Chen familywife.His own son's surname is also Chen and not Jiang, it makes no sense that people don't give political resources to their sons, but give them to you, only by marrying Xiaoyun and deepening this bond can you get more.In this way, Chen Kai was forced to stay, and was given the important task of deepening the bond by his mother.Shang Wanjun was different from Chen Kai and Jiang Shiwu, and when she told Yao that she wanted to stay, Yao disagreed.Yao's sent the maid out of the house, frowning slightly, for the sake of Xiao Wu and Chen Kai, they want to stay and play for a few more days, why do you think about it too?
You don't know that your grandfather has never been kind to our family, and if he stays to make him angry, he will not be happy.Shang Wanjun didn't answer, but asked: Mother, why doesn't grandfather like our family?
Yao Shi seemed to be touched by something sad, his eyes were sad, but he deliberately said lightly: Actually, there is nothing that cannot be said, it is only strange that your father married me despite your grandfather's objections, and your grandfather disappointed.Your father should not have married me in the first place, and if he hadn't married me, your grandfather would not have given up on him.Yao Shi sobbed quietly as he spoke, Shang Wanjun quickly took out a handkerchief, stepped forward to wipe her tears for her mother, and comforted: Mother don't be sad, it's been so long, grandfather should be angry, if not, I will stay as this punching bag.Shang Wanjun saw that her mother was still going to persuade her, and hurriedly said: Yesterday, my grandfather kept my cousin with me, and it seemed that my cousin would be the leader of the business in the future, but it was clear that my father was the eldest son, wasn't it?
You can't keep going far away like this, and in the end, your relatives don't look like your relatives?
Yao stopped crying after listening to his daughter, pondered for a moment, and then nodded in agreement.Therefore, after Jiang He entrusted his son to the merchant yesterday, the next day, the Yao family also entrusted his daughter to his younger siblings, and he stumbled and said a lot of good things.After Zhong sent his sister-in-law out of the courtyard and came back, he sighed to Shang Daoting: "Ouch, talking to my sister-in-law for so long really tired me to death."
Speaking of which, the sister-in-law looked like she was afraid that her father would not let them in, so how could she be willing to let her daughter stay at this time?
Shang Daoting sipped the tea slowly, and when the Zhong family was about to get impatient, he said slowly: I guess I saw my father taking Tan Er yesterday, and I was anxious After listening to it, Zhong said with a solemn face: I actually wanted to ask for a long time, will it be inappropriate for my father to cross the eldest brother like this?
Shang Daoting sneered: What is there to worry about, the merchant is originally the father who has the final say, he will give it to whoever he wants, he thinks Tan Er is suitable, and gave it to Tan Er, why are you not happy to be a mother?
Zhong was so choked by him that he was suffocated, snatched the teacup from his hand, and took the teapot away angrily.Shang Daoting shook his head amusedly, and slowly lay down on the rocking chair, Yao was also funny, always thinking that his father and eldest brother were not compatible, but he was not satisfied with their marriage, what role did she think leaving a daughter could play?
She is indeed not her father's favorite daughter-in-law, but the eldest brother has been fostered in her uncle Yao's house since she was a child, and the two have grown up together since childhood, and they have long been secretly in love, and her mother said peace, and her father didn't say anything in the end.The biggest disagreement between my father and my eldest brother is actually that I am dissatisfied with my eldest brother who has been camping around the capital all these years and does not know how to advance and retreat.Hmph, the eldest brother never understood that what his father wanted was to retreat, his own retreat, the retreat of their brother's generation, leaving a chance for Tan'er's generation to advance.No, maybe he understands, but he just doesn't want to, and he doesn't give up.But what about not giving up, Dong Ge Lao is a counterexample of not giving up, and now he is put in that position and can't advance or retreat, further slashing and fire, and taking a step back into the abyss.Chapter 35 The situation of the merchant has nothing to do with Lin Fangxu for the time being, but Shang Zhongyan's way of being an official is still worth learning.At the end of September, after bidding farewell to Jiang Daoyu and his party, the merchant returned to his usual life except for a few extra young people.Of course, a group of juniors stay in the business, and the businessmen can't ignore it, let them fish and pick flowers by themselves, right?
Shang Zhongyan adhered to the principle that a sheep is herded, a group of sheep is also herded, and everyone is treated equally, so he simply gave everyone a unified lesson.Jiang Shiwu and Shang Yu didn't take the imperial examination, of course, they couldn't talk about the Four Books and Five Classics every day, and Shang Zhongyan talked about what he was best at.What is Shang Zhongyan good at?
Ask this, why don't you ask him how is he different from young people?
He has lived longer than young people, he has gone farther than young people, and he has experienced more things than young people, including Lin Fangxu, a guy who is physically and mentally discordant.Every three days, Shang Zhongyan told the nine juniors about some things he had experienced or what others had experienced, which was regarded as a lesson for them, and after the lecture, he asked to go back to write and write about his feelings after listening.Lin Fangxu, Xu Zhongkang, and Shang Tan will also arrange a few more current questions separately.People who want to take the exam, listen to the same story, and always can't do the same homework as other people, Shang Zhongyan, as a jinshi in the former dynasty, is still comfortable with commenting on the imperial examination articles of today.Jiang Shiwu and Jiang Shiyun, as typical representatives of those who have no choice but to write martial arts, should think that their grandfather's request to write an article is simply ruthless, unrighteous and vexatious.But who told the Jingying exam to have more literary exams, no matter how ruthless and unreasonable it is, for the sake of dreams, you have to endure writing.However, maybe my grandfather still felt sorry for them, and told a story on the battlefield in the first class.It is said that at the time of the war of the Ten Kingdoms, Zhao and Hu were adjacent, Hu was weak, and Zhao was strong.Zhao wanted to annex Hu and found a false reason to start a war.Zhao Guobing was strong and strong, rich in materials, and naturally it was like a bamboo, but when it hit the capital of Hu State, it could not be attacked for a long time.The Hu people took advantage of the city to hold the momentum of breaking the cauldron and sinking the boat, so that the Zhao army suffered a lot of losses in the siege.Hong Qi, the vanguard general of Zhao State, may be forced to be helpless in the end, or he may be eager for meritorious service.When attacking the city again, Hongqi ordered people to use knives and guns to drive a large number of Hu people to rush forward, and finally stepped on the human wall formed by the corpses of Hu people.After the destruction of the Hu State, Hong Qi, as the hero who took the capital of the Hu State, later served as the commander of the Jingwei.Five years later, there was a royal history because when he attacked the city, he drove the ordinary people to death, participated in his careless disregard for human life, and brutalized the good people, and was finally dismissed.After Shang Zhongyan finished speaking slowly and methodically, he glanced at a few people and continued: When Hong Qi was dismissed at that time, someone explained it, saying that the people who died at that time were all Hu people, but the people of the enemy country, and they were not good citizens, so they could not erase the credit of General Hong.Some people also say, now that the entire Hu country is surnamed Zhao, how can there be any enemy people, you killed the family relatives of my Zhao people, and it is not considered a cruelty to the good people?
After Shang Zhongyan finished speaking, he saw that several people represented by Jiang Shiyun were eager to speak, so he asked by name: Xiaoyun, do you think Hong Qi should be dismissed?
Jiang Shiyun stood up without hesitation and said: No, it is a fact that he defeated the capital of Hu State, and he can't dismiss the hero because of improper strategy, this is too chilling.After he finished speaking, Jiang Shiwu nodded approvingly on the side.After Shang Tan waited for him to finish, he took the initiative to stand up and said respectfully: Grandfather, grandson have different opinions.Shang Zhongyan also wanted to hear his opinions, so he encouraged: Then you can talk about it.Shang Tan Zhengse said: The conquest between countries is decided by those in power, how innocent the people are, but they have to suffer because of this, Sun Er feels that General Hong has indeed committed the article of careless human life, and should be dismissed.After Jiang Shiwu heard this, he couldn't help but say loudly: How can there be immortals in a war!
Besides, he's just a dictator.Shang Zhongyan saw that Shang Tan was about to open his mouth to refute, and stopped: Okay, I said before that I would leave you with homework.Today's homework is, do you think Hong Qi should be dismissed?
Whether you think it should be or shouldn't, write down your reasons clearly and talk about it in two days.After Shang Zhongyan gave Shang Tan and the three of them two current essay questions alone, he sent them to practice writing and writing articles by themselves.When the young people left together, eight-year-old Shang Yu pulled the sleeve of his eldest brother Shang Tan and asked worriedly: "Big brother, do you think I should or shouldn't?"
Shang Tan scratched his sister's nose and said with a smile: How does the eldest brother know if you think it should be or not?
Don't worry, grandfather didn't come out to test you, you just need to learn the "Thousand Character Text" taught by your mother first.Chen Kai listened to the conversation between the brother and sister on the side, and he also wanted to ask Shang Tan, which one should he choose, it feels reasonable, no matter how he says it, it is right, how to choose, it is really sad.It's a pity that he was embarrassed to ask, and Shang Tan couldn't hear his heart, so he asked Lin Fangxu and Xu Zhongkang at this time: What is Dongsheng and Zijian's point of view?
Xu Zhongkang said with a smile: I, like Brother Xiansi, also think that he should be dismissed.After Jiang Shiwu heard this, he blew up on the side and said: Hmph, I know that you scholars must be in a group!
Lin Fangxu joked: I haven't said it yet, why does Second Brother Jiang think that I am also in the same group as the two of them?
Jiang Shiyun hugged his hands, stretched his tone and said with a smile: Hey, the scholar is actually not holding a group?
Xie Yuanlang can't be on our side, right?
Lin Fangxu also smiled and said: Why can't it?
Shang Tan and Xu Zhongkang were also quite surprised, and Xu Zhongkang couldn't help but ask: Dongsheng thinks it shouldn't be?
Brother Wei is very curious about the reason why Dongsheng chose this?
Can you tell me about it first?
Lin Fangxu didn't want to satisfy him, and said: I heard that the monarchs of the court often cite scriptures and classics to debate because of their different views on a political matter.They are all young people, who don't have the heart to be competitive, Shang Tan and the two of them saw him make a war post, how could they not accept it.Great, great, that's a great idea!
Xu Zhongkang clapped his hands.Yes, I can also ask my grandfather to testify at that time, and I will go to see what different views Dongsheng has, and I can argue with one and two.Shang Tan echoed.After listening to Shang Tan, Jiang Shiwu stopped doing it and said: "What is the argument of one and two, Xiaoyun and I are also in the same group as Brother Lin, okay?"
Shang Lun listened to it for a long time, and couldn't help but interject: That's not fair!
, There are three of you on your side, big brother, I'm on your side, right?
Shang Tan didn't accept his kindness, but scolded him softly: You are thirteen, and you have been reading the sage book for two years, so you can't follow everyone's clouds.Shang Yan blushed and said: But I just think that it seems to be all right, and it is not right, I don't know how to choose?
After hearing what Chen Kai said, he was also relieved, and finally someone asked.Maybe Chen Kai's expression was too obvious, Shang Tan glanced at him, and said: Think about the story told by your grandfather, and make a choice according to your own judgment, you really can't choose, even if you don't choose, you can't blindly go along with others.
