The Analects of Righteous Father’s Collapse

After eight years, the time is fleeting. Although Jiang Shendao has some minor problems with narcissism, he has to say that he is a very good teacher. Under his systematic teaching, Jiangliu’s knowledge reserve has been far away Beyond the original.

Many things have happened in these eight years.

For example, the emperor Jinyang collapsed. The 14-year-old crowned the throne. The first emperor left a few assistant ministers. The previous year, the emperor Jinwen married and officially started pro-government.Before the prince came to the throne, Jiang Sendao was called the prince prince and taught the prince's politics and the way of the prince. In the court hall, it was a clearly marked prince party. Now that Emperor Jinwen started pro-government, he also intends to cultivate his influence, and Several assistant ministers who refused to let power contend, Jiang Sendao was one of Emperor Jinwen's confidants.

For example, Jiangliu brought his well-known derivative of tofu to this dynasty.Tofu milk, gray tofu fruit, stinky tofu... All kinds of tofu food are very popular. In order to meet the huge demand of the market, Meng Yunniang bought several little maids to make tofu together, and then Hu Guirong took it to the shop and sold it. Silver money greatly eased the financial pressure on the family.

Another example is that eight years of time is enough for two teenage girls who have never met each other to cultivate a deep and profound feeling of green plums and horses.

"If Dad comes later, you will say that you wrote this poem, otherwise Dad should punish you again."

Jiang Furong stood outside the window, tiptoe and handed a letter to the hands of the river. The letter was transcribed with a beautiful hand-made flower hairpin, and he hadn’t seen what was written. The handwriting alone was enough to be pleasing to the eye .

"You and I wrote the poem, the teacher can tell at a glance, Auntie Granny, are you helping me or hurting me?"

Jiang Liu finally wrote a poem that feels good to her. At this moment, when she saw the poems written by Xiaoshimei, she didn't have any confidence at all.

Even after studying with a famous teacher like Jiang Shendao for so many years, Jiang Liu’s attainments in poetry still haven’t made much progress. Jiang Liu thinks that it may be because he is a vulgar in his bones, and he can’t write that kind of thing in the spring and snow.

Although Jiang Furong was young, he was quite spiritual in poetry. Jiang Shendao often sighed that if the younger daughter changed gender, I am afraid that she would become a celebrity poet.

It's a pity that she is a daughter's family. Even if the poems she writes are good, they can only be revealed in front of her family.

"People kindly help you, you don't have to appreciate it."

Jiang Furong was a quiet and gentle girl in front of her father and mother, but she was a little bit more girlish in front of Jiang Liu. At this moment she grunted and stomped her feet, asking Jiang Liu to give her to him The stationery is back.

"Appreciate, why not appreciate it."

Jiang Liu carefully folded the letter paper, stuffed it in his shirt, and then took out a bag of butter preserves wrapped in paper while no one was around: "This is your favorite Xu Ji. Yesterday I But long queues, don’t say I don’t care about you.”

"Cough!"

Jiang Shendao stood at the door and coughed.

Jiang Furong blushed, dragged his feet across the candied fruit in the hands of the river, and ran away with the skirt in his arms.

"teacher."

Seeing the master come back, Jiang Liu sat back in his place properly, and then handed over the poem he had just racked his brain.

"Humph."

Jiang Shendao took the poem and glared at his baby disciple, but he didn't say much about the scene that just happened.

Eight years is enough for Jiang Shendao to understand his students. If Jiang Liu’s character is flawed, I am afraid that Jiang Furong will not be so easy to come to the front yard and come into contact with Jiang Liu.

"There is more craftsmanship than spirituality."

Commenting on some disciples' poems, Jiang Shendao also knew that this was his limit.

But despite the lack of spirituality, the poems written by his disciples had no structural rhythm, but it was enough to meet the needs of the imperial examination. After all, the imperial examination is not all poetry.

"This time, you come to an end."

Jiang Sendao held this disciple for eight years. At first, the river flow did not arrive. Secondly, he felt that he was too prosperous and needed to avoid it.

It is different now. When the new emperor is in power, it is most necessary to support his own manpower. Counting it, this scientific expedition was presided over by the new emperor. The selected talents are naturally the most suitable for the new emperor. The first term of the disciples.

Although Jiangliu is still a little young, the age of the New Emperor is no more than a few years old, and his understanding of the New Emperor may have been overwhelmed by several assistant ministers for a long time. Young talent.

This is an opportunity for Jiang Liu. Whether he can fly into the sky depends on his own ability.

"Yes!"

Jiang Liu's eyes light up instantly.

He has been waiting for this day for a long time.

*****

Back at home, the first thing Jiang Liu did was to take out the letter in his arms, and then take out another stack of stationery from the dark compartment of his bookcase and stack them neatly.

These are all Jiang Furong's masterpieces, some are her essays, some are specially prepared for cheating Jiang Liu, but have never been useful.

Although Jiang Liu does not write poems, he still has some appreciation. In his view, the fine works in these poems are comparable to those of female poets such as Xie Daoyun, Mrs. Huarui and Li Qingzhao.

It would be a pity if these poems were buried here. The rivers silently collected these poems and planned to pass them on.

On the other side, Jiang Furong was holding the bag of preserves and was caught by Mrs. Jiang who was about to see her before returning to the house.

"You went to the front yard again?"

Looking at the direction her daughter was running, Mrs. Jiang said wearily.

Although it was in her own home, her daughter always went to the front yard to find the river, which was also too reserved.

"mother."

Jiang Furong called with his hands behind his back, blushing blushingly.

"You, you."

Mrs. Jiang sighed. She and her husband taught this daughter and sons the four books and five classics, poetry and songs since childhood, hoping that she could be reasonable and understand the general situation. There are many restrictions on women in this era. Mrs. Jiang wants her daughter to be in the boudoir In middle school, you can relax faster, but your daughter still has to marry someone, and some rules must be learned early.

Sometimes she regretted letting this girl learn too much, just because the world she saw was too big, when the time constrained her to a square, the more painful it would be.

This daughter is too smart, and her husband often sighs with her. It would be nice if their children were men. Feng Wangbaixiang is not a problem, but she is a woman, and not all men can accept a more open mind than oneself. The smarter and more insightful wife, especially this daughter has not enough to confuse men.

Smartness is often the biggest mistake of a woman.

"Afu, from today on, all those poems and songs will be put away. You honestly learn from your mother about stewardship, as well as needles and red women. This is what our girls should learn the most."

Mrs. Jiang paused: "There is also a front yard, and you have to go less. In another year, you will have to catch up. Some things have to be avoided."

"mother!"

Jiang Furong was stunned for a moment, but did not expect her mother to say such a thing.

She was smart and agile, and she understood her mother's worries with a little thought.

She has ordinary looks, which has been noticed when she started attending various banquets with her mother at the age of ten. The men in the world are very fortunate. Although the selection criteria of family wives have always been based on family background, men love beauty. In view of her moral character, although she can be a maid, it is difficult to be loved by her future husband.

Like her father, she raised her eyebrows with her mother, and the man who refused to accept her concubine was as rare as a rare woman. Besides, she had no beauty. I am afraid that the best ending after marrying is to be respected by the husband, and then help the husband’s family to do the family planning. At that time, I watched my husband go to the house to accept the beautiful young concubines.

Jiang Furong is an ambitious woman, how can she be willing to live so humblely behind a man.

But Jiang Furong felt that there was another boy who was different.

When he accepted enlightenment from a very young age, what Jiang Furong heard most was the sigh of the father and mother. She sighed that she was not a boy, and she was too talented to show it, but that teenager was different.

Whenever she published a new work, he always showed more surprises than her, and solemnly told her that she was talented, and her poems would be able to be passed on forever.

The teenager did not regret it because she was a woman, and recognized that even if she was a woman, she should have her own ambitions.

Self-esteem, self-love, self-confidence, self-improvement, these are the four phrases that the teenager gave her.

"What is that in your hand."

Mrs. Jiang did not speak to her daughter. It was only because she was too heavy, and she felt a bit of pain. But when she was about to comfort her daughter, she found her hands behind her. When she first saw her, I never saw her take her hand out, it seemed to be hiding something, and she didn't want to be discovered by her.

"No, nothing."

Jiang Furong's sweet memories were interrupted, watching the mother staring at the direction behind her, and she suddenly felt like a drum.

"Ok?"

Mrs. Jiang added an accent, and Jiang Furong obediently handed over the package of preserves that Jiangli gave her.

"Liu'er brought you here?"

As soon as Mrs. Jiang looked at her daughter's coquettishness, she guessed the origin of the sweetmeat. At this time, she couldn't help moving her thoughts. At this moment, some thoughts were magnified in her heart.

******

Mrs. Jiang returned to her room, swayed her waiting maid, and leaned back beside the bed.

Jiang Liu was accepted as a disciple by his husband at the age of seven, and he was still the only disciple. It is natural to talk about closeness. Naturally, Mrs. Jiang is also looking at Jiang Liu who grew up and is familiar with his character. Xu is worthy of him and will not be wronged.

In particular, these children have grown up together, and with this sentimentality, even if the river can not accept the concubine in the future, it will not condone the concubine offend Afu.

Now the only thing that makes Mrs. Jiang hesitate is two things.

The first point is that Jiang Liu is still a talent after all, and his family background is ordinary, but her husband is an emperor, a bachelor of the Hanlin Academy, and a second residence in the official residence. In terms of status, this is not very suitable for children.

It is not that Mrs. Jiang is too poor and loves the rich, but that people in the world have many opinions. She distributes her daughter to a younger child. I am afraid that others will suspect that her daughter has some hidden diseases before she has to marry this family.

Even for the sake of her daughter's reputation, Mrs. Jiang did not dare to rush to kiss the two children.

The second concern is the widowed mother of Jiangliu.

Mrs. Jiang didn't have much contact with Meng Yunniang. She only knew that it was a very tough and refreshing woman. But Mrs. Jiang never dared the jealousy and possessiveness of small women.

Open-minded like Mrs. Jiang, after her eldest son became married, she would inevitably have a suspicion with her daughter-in-law, not to mention Meng Yunniang, a widowed mother who kept her only son wholeheartedly. In the future, she would not face all kinds of discords because of the river.

The world respects filial piety, and the other party's status as a mother-in-law can crush her daughter to death. Even if the family background is high, it still depends on the mother-in-law's eyes.

Because of these two points, Mrs. Jiang hesitated repeatedly and could not make up her mind.

But how can there be perfect marriages in this world, especially her daughter, which is not necessarily perfect in the eyes of others, and Mrs. Jiang also loves her daughters, so she thinks about it for her. Only a little daughter likes it, it is enough to cover up the river. There are many shortcomings.

When Jiang Shendao returned from the front yard, Mrs. Jiang couldn't hold back and discussed the feasibility of the marriage with her husband.

"You said you want to kiss Liu'er and Afu?"

Jiang Shendao took a sip of hot tea and thought about the marriage.

"Two children and two children without guessing, Liu'er is my disciple again, it's better to kiss and kiss."

Jiang Shendao is a short-term guardian, as long as he likes the fancy, no matter what, in fact, if it is not his intentional indulgence, in the ancient times where men and women defended so tightly, how could Jiang Furong go in and out of the front yard like this. , And Jiang Liu cultivated such deep feelings.

"Furthermore, our daughter Shuli Mushuang can match his looks like Liu'er."

Jiang Shendao smiled haha, if these two brilliant children make a pair, in the future his grandson and granddaughter will definitely be Yuxue cute, and then he will carefully cultivate and cultivate, is it not a good seedling to explore Hualang.

Hearing her husband's words, Mrs. Jiang was silent for a while.

Even if she loves her girl, she can't put the word Shu Li Wushuang on her girl's face.

From this point of view, Jiang Liu is indeed a good-quality son-in-law. The other party has a good-looking appearance. As long as the children born by her daughter have a little bit of father, it is unlikely that they will be ugly. For the sake of the appearance of the next generation, Jiang Liu Several disadvantages of the flow seem to be ignored.

"But for the time being, I'm not in a hurry. I have agreed that Liuer will end this year's imperial examination. Everything will be said after Liuer finishes the exam, so as not to distract him and affect the exam."

Although he already had this idea in mind, Jiang Sendao felt that there was no need to be so anxious. His disciple was only fifteen this year, and his daughter was not yet able to wait. After the imperial examination was over, she could discuss it.

"Liuer will end this time?"

This was really a surprise for Mrs. Jiang. This time Jiangliu ended the exam. Even if she only got a test, she was willing to marry her daughter. The 15-year-old tester is a place worth training Talent, and he is also a disciple of a husband, will give his daughter Xu to him, and others will not beg.

"Ok."

Jiang Shendao sipped tea freely. This time, his disciples would be able to help him retrieve the flowers.

*****

What the most talked about ladies in the capital of Beijing are now, not silk satin or jewellery, but the students who took the exam in Beijing this time.

It has become a common practice to catch son-in-law on the list. Whenever the imperial examinations begin, these ladies will find someone to investigate the candidates to see if there are any unmarried wives who are very good-looking and are accepted as their son-in-law.

This time the hot topic in Beijing is Yuchuan's Xie Yuan, a young man as young as fifteen.

"Do you remember the seven-year-old even a prodigy of Zhongsanyuan who was rumored to be in Beijing eight years ago? It was the kid eight years ago who was tested in Yuchuan Jieyuan this time."

A group of noble ladies gathered in a gossip, Mrs. Jiang sat in the crowd, listening to their discussion about her husband's disciple, and the future son-in-law she was looking at.

"It's already four yuan in the middle school, only fifteen years old, and the future is very promising."

It is the wife of Jingzhaofu Yin who sighs. It is also fate. The current Jingzhaofu Yin is the research flower of Jiang Shendao's consort and the man who secretly hated his teeth.

Jingzhaofu Yin’s official title is not high, just Zheng Sipin, but he has a special geographical location, far beyond the general Sipin officials, which is why Mrs. Jingzhao Fu Yin can get along with the wives of these first and second grade officials The reason for being so comfortable.

"I heard that this young man is not only talented, but also very handsome in appearance, comparable to Pan An's rebirth, and he doesn't know that there can be a marriage." There are two unmarried girls in the Yin family of Jingzhao Prefecture, one is a heir. One is Shu Shu.

The young lady she inherited from her parents inherited the beauty of her parents, and she has a lot of reputations in the boudoir circle. Mrs. Jiang jumped her eyes when she heard the other party's words. She just felt that her favorite son-in-law was like a big piece of fat. Stared at.

"This kid does have good looks."

Mrs. Jiang blinked, pretending to be ordinary, and took a sip of tea soup and said.

"Listening to Mrs. Jiang's words, it seems that you have seen Jie Yuanlang?"

Everyone's attention turned to Mrs. Jiang at once. Everyone only heard about the prodigy and never really saw it, but Mrs. Jiang's determined answer just seemed to be very familiar with the Jie Yuanlang.

"You don't know that the river with four yuan in the middle school is my disciple's disciple. As early as eight years ago, my husband ruled him under the door. I am naturally familiar with him."

It was not a scandal to accept such a disciple, and after Jiang came out of office, this mentoring and apprenticeship could not be concealed, and Mrs. Jiang naturally had no intention of concealment.

"What, then Xie Yuanlang is actually a disciple of Master Jiang!"

The lady who had some disapproval of the river flow also changed her face at this time, but a common solution element is naturally nothing rare, even if he became the champion, this champion has one every three years and can really grow up. Yes, very few.

But Jiang Shendao's only personal disciple is different. With such a teacher standing behind him, he has already far surpassed those who studied.

From this point of view, the value of this Xie Yuanlang is even higher. If he can be turned into his own son-in-law, wouldn't it be related to the Jiang family.

The news spread very widely that even with the emperor, he heard that Jiang Shendao's disciple came out of this imperial examination, and the other party was still a seven-year-old even three yuan, fifteen-year-old won the Xieyuan Wizard.

*****

"My disciple's essay is well written, just because he is younger."

During the next dynasty, Emperor Jinwen called Jiang Shendao and asked him about his disciple.

Jiang Sendao also expected that the emperor would ask, and sent his rhetoric in advance.

"Young and vigorous?"

Emperor Jinwen read the word interestingly, but he became more expectant. He was fed up with the pedantic stereotypes of the assistant ministers who were left by the first emperor. He always told him that he could not do it with the restrictions of the rules and regulations. This emperor is not as good as their ministers.

He hadn't pro-government evening, and there weren't many powerful people around him.

Emperor Jinwen of the imperial examination was preparing to support his own forces. Jiang Shendao's disciples had already become a member of his list.

*****

Now the most fashionable news is no longer Jianglilianzhongzhongyuan. After the meeting, he broke through the Jinguo imperial examination record as a member of the state. He has become a popular candidate nowadays, only waiting for the court test to see if he can He won the title of No. 1 and set a record of even six yuan.

For this reason, many casinos also set the market, betting on the odds of high school students.

Unexpectedly, not many people gambled for the top spot in the river test.

Firstly, because the odds set by the casino are too low, buying the top spot in the river, won't win much. Secondly, many people are not optimistic about the performance of this young talent in the palace test.

After all, he is still too young. I am afraid that the majesty of the emperor and other ministers will not be able to tolerate the visit of the court. Even Wuzhong Yuan is already a miracle, but with his appearance, he won the title of a flower.

In contrast, the other two candidates who are also the top champions, one is already thirty-seven this year, experienced and mature, one is the son of a cabinet bachelor, the origin of family learning, the ancestors had two top champions, ten The five jinshi, who participated in the scientific examination this time, were the best children carefully cultivated by the family. The chances of the two of them in the examination seemed to be much greater than that of the river.

As a party to the topic, Jiang Liu was not easy at this time.

Part of the reason why he was able to come along so smoothly all the time was because he ate Yizhi Dan, and the study was really easy, and partly because of the original questions left by him about the examinations of previous imperial examinations and the memories of the past officials .

The two complement each other, allowing him to make sufficient preparations before the imperial examination, and write articles that tickle and applaud the officials of the reviewers.

Of course, there is another factor that cannot be ignored, that is, his once-in-a-year score and his age.

It’s a good one, but it’s going to be very serious. Now that the emperor has just been in politics, if he can produce a candidate who has never been seen in the past dynasties, he can also be regarded as a kind of auspicious signification, which implies the leadership of the Jin Congress in the new emperor. Next, toward the prosperous world.

Under such psychological troubles, as long as his paper can be ranked among the best in the examination papers, the first must belong to him.

Five games have come over in a row, but in the last game, Jiang Liu can't help getting nervous.

Because this test is of great significance to him, in addition to the task needs, he is not willing to live up to the cultivation of his teacher.

The teacher is the champion during the reign of the Emperor Xian. If his disciples test their role models or find flowers, they will be embarrassed to the teacher. Jiang Liu does not like to owe his kindness. The master treats him with sincerity and he has to help the master to treat this. Earn back.

The time passed quickly, and in the blink of an eye I went to the palace test.

Standing in the middle of a group of older candidates, Jiang Liu appeared particularly conspicuous. Emperor Jin Wen sitting in the dragon chair saw the young, still handsome young man at first glance, and guessed his identity.

Not only the Emperor Jin Wen, but also all the examiners present at the invigilator's examination realized that this was the personal disciple of Jiang Shendao.

For a time, the attention of the people has increased, and the pressure on the river has increased.

This time the test questions were written by Emperor Jinwen. The questions were very simple, but many candidates were afraid to write.

Because this question is simple, but the content is very scary, two words-reform.

Yi Xiangxiang's time has passed, there are still very few people writing, but there are personal exceptions, that is, Jiang Liu, at this time he has calmed down, completely immersed in the subject.

Emperor Jinwen walked down the dragon seat, patrolling among the students, and then stood on the side of the river. Looking at the articles he wrote, his eyes were splendid, and he almost immediately applauded.

The candidates on the edge naturally did not miss the emperor's expression, the pressure was greater, and he was more hesitant when writing.

At the end of the exam, many candidates' foreheads were already full of virtual sweat. When they walked out of the hall, their legs were soft and soft. All the test papers were bound and sent to the examination office. The top ten were selected to let the Emperor Jinwen look over.

In the selection of the top ten, many ministers argued endlessly, among which the most controversial was the paper of Jiangliu.

The article is good or not, of course it is good. The words used are exquisite, the deconstruction is rigorous, and the quotations are rigorous. It can make people applaud. But what about the content? In the eyes of these conservative ministers, it can be said to be out of touch, provoking existing regulations, especially articles. Zhong actually encouraged the widow to remarry, which is simply humiliating.

If they remember correctly, Jiangliu’s mother is a widowed body. Jiangliu dares to make such rhetoric, is he still daring to encourage his biological mother to remarry?

It is not to cater to the emperor's preferences. If such a flattering man is really an official, he might be a jerk.

It's just that everyone just saw the performance of the emperor. The emperor clearly appreciates this article. If you don't send this article up, I'm afraid it will cause His Majesty's anger.

In addition, this river is still a disciple of Jiang Shendao. Although Jiang Shendao did not participate in the examination in order to avoid suspicion, everyone is an official, and this face must always be given to him.

After some disputes, Jiang Liu's paper was presented with the other test papers, but it was only pressed to the end.

Emperor Jin Wen looked at the other nine test papers, his face was not irritated, but when he saw the last file of the river, the expression on his face was much more pleasing to the naked eye.

"This river has already won five yuan, and it is better to set him as the champion this time, and even six yuan, which is also a beautiful talk."

Using a red pen to circle the name of the river, the champion has already fallen into the river.

Several ministers, you look at me, I look at you, after all, still did not argue with the emperor about this little thing.

As for the following list of eyes and Tanhua, it is the other two popular candidates of the champion, the 37-year-old old celebrity who has been holding his grandson has become the list of eyes, and the son of the cabinet bachelor family has become Tanhualang.

The ministers are also satisfied with this result.

After that, except for the second prince who was drafted by Emperor Jinwen, the remaining lists were all drawn up by the officials who checked the papers, but they were finally handed over to the Emperor Jinwen for stamping.

After the incense stick, those candidates who were waiting outside the hall knew the result. Some people were happy and sad, and as for the river, the heavy stones at heart could finally be put down.

Can not participate in the examination papers, but also with the officials outside the hall, Jiang Sendao also got the news.

Others knew that Jiang Liu was his student, and he naturally congratulated with a smile, but Jiang Sendao only had a face, and could not see the anger.

Everyone sighed that Jiang Sendao's iron face was selfless. Even if the champion was his own disciple, he was not moved, and he became even more unpredictable.

Where do they know that the villain in Jiang Shendao's heart has already cried out a vast ocean at this moment.

Find flowers, his flowers!

*****

"coming!"

"Is that the champion? It seems to be very young!"

The market is very lively on this day. The teahouses and pubs along the street are all booked by the rich lady’s lady, just to hide behind the window and take a quiet look at the champions and flowers in this street tour.

Ordinary people's girls don't need to avoid suspicion today. They have been standing on both sides of the street early, holding flowers and fruits in hand, ready to smash these flowers and fruits on him when the champion Yuen Lang passes by.

The Jiang family is no exception. Early in the morning, the best line of sight was packed. Mrs. Jiang also thoughtfully invited Meng Yunniang.

At this time, the team traveling to the street had already reached the teahouse where they were located, and Jiang Furong had no restraint, and smashed his long-prepared purse into the river riding a tall horse.

It seemed that he had a psychic spirit. When Jiang Furong smashed his purse, Jiang Liu just looked up at the position where she was standing.

Just gently raising his hand, Jiang Liu took Jiang Furong's purse in his hand, and then did not forget to wave at the position where she stood.

"Ah, the top champion is so handsome, he just smiled at me."

"No, the top champion is smiling at me."

It doesn't matter if he doesn't laugh, this laugh can take away the soul of many ladies.

For a time, there were more flowers and fruit purses embroidered on the river, but he avoided the things that hit him. The only thing he firmly held in his hand was the purse that Jiang Furong had just hit him.

This strange behavior attracted the attention of others.

Some ladies dispatched a little girl to inquire about the owner of the box where Jiang Furong was. When they learned that the owner of the box was the Jiang family, and the wife and the lady of the Jiang family were in that room, they thought about the mentorship between Jiang Liu and Jiang Shendao. I guessed that the Jiang family might have intentionally kissed and added a kiss, and suddenly thought of Jiangliu as son-in-law.

Thinking of the handsome figure who had just traveled to the top of the street, the young boudoirs teared several handkerchiefs enviously. How could such a character not be accepted as an lover by their father.

Jiang Furong, as a party, naturally cares more about this move by the river.

The layer of dim window paper before seemed to be pierced, and Jiang Furong's heart was full of sweetness.

In such a happy atmosphere, the mood of only one person is extremely complicated.

Jiang Sendao and his colleagues looked at the street from a distance, and couldn't help but express a long sigh.

He is a good man, and his disciples have been delayed by their talents!
