The Heart of the Red Chamber

Wang Ren already knew that Chen Jingrong was his teacher before, and he had also inquired about this person. When he was young, this person was a well-known romantic talent in Chang'an, a handsome young man. However, his marriage was full of twists and turns. Not long after he was born, his family made a marriage agreement with a family friend. Who would have thought that the girl died before she was ten years old, and the Chen family naturally wanted to find another good match for him.

In the end, the choice was made, the two parties had already exchanged Geng Tie, and they were waiting to choose a good date to get married, but then the young lady contracted the epidemic, and then passed away.

In this way, the name of Chen Jingrong's wife was spread, and the more it was spread, the more exaggerated it became. In the end, he couldn't find anyone with a similar family background who dared to get married.The daughters of rich and noble families are precious and are used for marriage. Although the Chen family is good, but Chen Jingrong is the second son and cannot inherit the Chen family. If the rumors are true, wouldn't it be a waste of a daughter.

Therefore, Rao Chen Jingrong can be said to be a good-looking talent. Before he was a weak crown, he became a Tanhua Lang with a bright future. However, he dragged it until he was in his 20s, and there were only a few concubines around him, and he could not find a regular wife candidates.

In a fit of rage, Chen Jingrong found a wife who was from a low family background and was said to have a strong fate. Then, very unfortunately, this Mrs. Chen lived until she became pregnant, but never lived to have a child. She died of dystocia, and even her own son was unable to Take a look.Chen Jingrong had fulfilled the crime of fettering his wife, so there was no one who dared to be his stepmother, and what was even more unlucky was that he couldn't even keep his only legitimate son.

If it was a different person, I am afraid that under this series of blows, my mind will be distorted. Chen Jingrong is a chic person, quite a bit of the unrestrained and uninhibited style of Wei and Jin celebrities. Anyway, he is not the only one in the Chen family, and he is needed to carry on the family line. So, he didn't care about those things anymore, and spent more time on knowledge and tactics. However, although he was good at tactics, he didn't want to be a minister of power. Therefore, he stayed in the Hanlin Academy and lived a happy life. Very leisurely.

To tell the truth, Wang Ren still admires this man. He can afford and let go, he can read and be a man. The reason why he can't get a wife is because God doesn't want him to be too perfect.

Over there, Wang Ziteng and the Chen family brothers came and went, and played Tai Chi with each other for a long time, and finally changed the topic to apprenticeship. Wang Ziteng smiled and said: "The dog is still a bit smart, and now he has completed the enlightenment. Zi Teng is the only son in his life, so I have some expectations for him, brother Zi An (Chen Jingrong's word) is first-class in knowledge, I hope brother Zi An can give you some pointers!"

Chen Jingrong didn't have much expectations for Wang Ren at first, it was just an exchange of benefits, and he just accepted it as a name. For so many years, Chen Jingrong even presided over the provincial examination several times. It doesn't matter, but Wang Ren is still young, but he can hold his temper and listen to them say things that he should not be able to understand at his age, and he doesn't seem to be so ignorant. Looking at his eyes, it is estimated that even if he doesn't understand everything, he can't understand. He could understand about seven or eight points, but he was really interested. He didn't tell Prince Teng more, but looked at Wang Ren directly, and asked, "What books have you read now?"

Wang Rengong said: "If you come back to Shi Bo, my nephew has just read "The Book of Songs" and "The Analects of Confucius", and now he is reading "The Great Learning."

Chen Jingrong immediately asked: "Those who have a country and a family do not suffer from poverty but inequality, and do not suffer from poverty but anxiety."

Wang Ren immediately said: "Gai Jun has no poverty, no widows, and peace. If this is the case, if people from afar refuse to accept it, then they will cultivate literature and virtue. Once they come, they will be at ease. Today, I will ask for it. People are not convinced, so they cannot come. The state falls apart, and it cannot be defended. And they plan to fight within the state. I am afraid that Ji Sun's worries are not in Zhuanyu, but in Xiaoqiang."

He glanced at Chen Jingrong, and then continued: "It means that for the princes and great officials, they are not afraid of poverty, but of uneven wealth; they are not afraid of a small population, but of instability. Since the wealth is equal, there is no such thing as poverty; everyone is harmonious. If you are stable, you will not feel that there are few people; if you are stable, there is no danger of being overthrown. Because of this, if people from afar have not yet surrendered, use benevolence, righteousness, propriety, and music to attract them; They will live in peace. Now, Zhong You and Ran beg you two to assist the Ji family. People from afar will not submit to you, so you cannot recruit them. The hearts of the people in the country are scattered, and you cannot protect them. Instead, you plan to use force in the country. I am only afraid of Ji. Sun's worry is not in Zhuan Yu, but in himself!"

Chen Jingrong nodded slightly, no matter what, for a five or six-year-old child, this is already beyond the expected level, but he asked again: "My nephew, let me ask you, do you want to be a master or a middle and upper class?" Human, or Chinese?"

Wang Ren was taken aback for a moment, he thought for a while, and said: "My nephew only wants to be a gentleman, that's enough!"

Chen Jingrong showed interest on his face: "Why?"

Wang Ren said without hesitation: "My nephew once heard that if a tree is beautiful in the forest, the wind will destroy it, and if it is superior to others, everyone will wrong it. My nephew has no ability to be a master, and I don't want to be a middle man. , therefore, I have no choice but to be a middle-class man."

Chen Jingrong clapped his palms and laughed loudly: "Nephew is really interesting, I will accept you as a disciple!"

Wang Ren immediately knelt down and bowed to the teacher: "Student Wang Ren pays homage to the teacher!"

"Get up!" Chen Jingrong waited until Wang Ren's prostration was over, helped Wang Ren up with a smile, and took a mutton fat jade pendant from his waist, and stuffed it into Wang Ren's hand, "This jade pendant has been with me for many years, and I will give it to you Let's play!"

"Student, thank you teacher for your generosity!" Wang Ren took the jade pendant and bowed again.

"From then on, brother Zi'an will have to take care of the little one!" Wang Ziteng said with a smile.

Chen Jingrong also said with a smile: "My disciple, could it be that I let him suffer!"

Chen Jingyi also smiled and said: "Don't say that Ren'er will be the second brother's student in the future, if not, with the relationship between you and me, maybe we can still stand by and watch Ren'er!"

Speaking of this, the three adults looked at each other with a tacit smile. They have already formed an alliance, and adding a teacher-student relationship can also bring the relationship between the two parties closer.

Chen Jingyi didn't keep Wang Ziteng and his father and son to eat. It's not good for civil and military ministers to have too much friendship, and it's easy to be taboo.

Chen Jingrong directly explained to Wang Ren that he would come to the Chen Manor every morning to study, and in the afternoon Chen Jingrong would give him lectures and assign homework, Wang Ren naturally agreed.

"How?" After sending Wang Ziteng and his son away, Chen Jingyi turned to look at her second brother.

Chen Jingrong chuckled lightly: "Brother, my disciple is a wonderful person!"

Chen Jingyi nodded: "He's a smart kid!"

"Smart, sensible!" Chen Jingrong laughed, "It's really not like a six-year-old child, Wang Ziteng is really lucky!"

Chen Jingyi knew that her second younger brother had a vicious eye. However, the Wang family and the Chen family are allies now, and it is unlikely that there will be any conflict of interest in the future. Therefore, the next generation is outstanding, which means that the Chen family can cooperate with the Wang family for another generation. That is not a big deal. It was a bad thing, so he said: "Since you think that child is good, teach him well!"

Chen Jingrong rolled his eyes, and the person who was about to know his destiny actually showed some charm, he smiled casually: "That's natural!"

Wang Ziteng was also quite satisfied. At first, he was worried that Chen Jingrong would perfuse himself, but now it seems that his son's response is very good. With such a teacher, Wang Ren is not stupid, and the Wang family has successors.Thinking of this, he couldn't help stroking his beard in relief.

Wang Ren also felt very satisfied. He didn't want his teacher to be a pedantic nerd. Although he didn't have much ambition, but in this day and age, if you don't have power, you deserve to be stepped on.Wang Ren didn't want to step on others, but he also didn't want to be stepped on by others.He was just a graduate who had just graduated from the ivory tower back then, and he hadn't suffered any setbacks or tricks. He just learned something from novels and TV shows, but he hadn't experienced it himself. Therefore, a teacher who was good at political tactics pointed out that It could not be better.
