[Red Chamber] Come for a hexagram?

I don't know why after Wang Ren said that he was very happy, the expressions of the two elder brothers were a little strange.

Wang Ren had no choice but to change the topic and said, "Is there already a regulation for flood control?"

The third elder brother was very happy that Wang Ren could bring up this topic on his own initiative, and said, "It's thanks to your previous sentence 'blocking is worse than sparse', which allowed us to sort out our chaotic thinking and find a solution."

"I didn't come up with this sentence myself." Wang Rendao: "In ancient times, floods in the Central Plains flooded, submerged crops, mountains and houses, and people were displaced from their homes. So Yao ordered Gun to control the water, and Gun controlled the water for nine years. The second blockade was ineffective. After Gun failed, Dayu succeeded him and continued to control the water, and the flood was receded by means of dredging."

"So that's how it is." Yinzhi said: "As for water control, we always think of the examples of water control in previous dynasties, and then find that those so-called water control cases are completely inconsistent with the situation here, but we forget that the number one water control in ancient times, Dayu's water control method. The story about Dayu's water control was also recorded in "Mencius" and "Spring and Autumn", but I only remember 'three times without entering the house'."

Wang Ren: The books record more about Dayu's behavior of abandoning personal interests because of public affairs, and his methods of water control are indeed mentioned briefly.But in modern times, the phrase "blocking is worse than sparse" is more famous than "three times without entering the house".

It is easy to achieve the first in modern times, but it is even more difficult to achieve the second.

The faces of modern people are mostly similar, with fame and fortune in their eyebrows and eyes.

Several people chatted for a while, and Yinzhi got up to leave.He can't have close contact with Shisan under the eyes of so many people.After all, in the eyes of Kangxi and others, he is an excellent prince, a loner who has never formed a clique and has a relaxed relationship with the prince but is not very close.

There was a smile on the corner of Yinzhi's mouth when he left, because the fourth elder brother Yinzhen walked close to the prince, but he didn't have much communication with the eldest elder brother, and his usual speech was a bit partial to the prince, making him think that Yinzhen and Yinxiang were from the prince's side .It does not appear to be the case now.

That being the case, the prince's real clique is much smaller than he imagined.The recent turmoil has been calm, suitable for recuperation.Perhaps the relationship with Yinzhen and Yinxiang can be a little closer, naturally including that Wang Ren just now.He is not a genius who is proficient in poetry and books, but he is not a mediocre person who is useless.What's more, his father is still Prince Teng, the military governor of the capital, so there is no harm in making friends.

At this time, the "fortune teller" Wang Ren didn't find out, because a sentence he put forward inadvertently changed Yinzhi's position in the future, as well as his final ending.

As a fortune-teller, the most taboo thing is probably getting into the world of mortals, especially getting involved in the royal family.

If you get involved deeply, you will never be able to get rid of your body, and you are destined to be tied up on the royal ship for the rest of your life.

Wang Ren can indeed be called a genius in fortune-telling, but he doesn't care much about these rules when it comes to fortune-telling.After all, in modern times, even if you are fortune-telling and divination, you will not meet those real nobles who can change the world pattern with a single sentence.Therefore, Wang Ren's master did not mention him much in this regard.

The sentence "be stained by wine, and cause catastrophe by sex" was also badly not remembered by Wang Ren.

His future can be foreseen.

After the third elder brother left, Yinxiang and Wang Ren were left in this room.

Wang Ren asked suspiciously, "Brother Thirteen."

"Call me Shisan when there is no outsider." Yinxiang said: "I'm really not used to you calling me elder brother. You don't have words now, so I'll call you Aren."

"Okay, whatever you want." Wang Ren said, "What is the purpose of the third elder brother? Are you really just here to see me?"

"I'm curious about you." Yinxiang said: "It is rumored that Wang Ziteng's son is ignorant, so he didn't believe it at all when he heard that it was you who proposed 'blocking is worse than sparse'."

Wang Ren: "Based on the standard of judging talent here, I am indeed ignorant."

Yinxiang:? ?

"I can't memorize "The Analects" completely, I can't read "Mencius" well, I can't understand "Great Learning", I can't play the piano well, I haven't ridden a horse, and I can't write well." Wang Ren said in a low voice.

Yinxiang: ...

It sure sounds bad.

"Can't write well? Is your calligraphy bad?" Yinxiang asked.

Wang Ren fumbled in his sleeve, took out a crumpled piece of rice paper, and handed it to Yinxiang.Even on the ship, the Master Wang Ziteng did not relax his teaching supervision, not to mention that the position Wang Ziteng found for him this time was a clerical one, helping to keep records.

Yinxiang unfolded the paper in disgust, and when he saw the words inside, he almost threw the rice paper away.

He could only write like this when he was three years old!Because children's hands are weak and weak, they can't write with style.

The characters on the rice paper are uneven horizontally, vertically and crookedly, not only that, there are ink dots everywhere.

"Are you serious about writing?" It's not as bad as real, can only walk birds, and dandy writing.

"This is the best one." Wang Ren nodded seriously.

Throwing the 'best one' Zanba Zanba into the wastebasket, Yinxiang stood up and took out a book from the desk next to him, then took out a roll of rice paper, pen and ink and said: "This For a few days, you will practice brush calligraphy here, as long as you can move your fingers, you must practice every day."

Wang Ren: Cheaper than mine, dad is stricter!

"Why!" He was finally freed from the terrible study!

"Because of your horrible words, I can barely catch my eyes." Yinxiang said.

Wang Ren: ...

I don't know how to practice the calligraphy for a few days, and I feel that the time passes very slowly. Finally, when Yinxiang commented that his calligraphy was barely correct, the main ship had joined Kangxi's small boat.

Kangxi's face was extremely ugly. It seemed that he had seen the submerged farmland near the Yellow River, but the millions of snowflakes he spent had no effect at all.Not only that, he felt that this batch of money had not been effectively used, and someone had embezzled at least part of the relief money.

After boarding the boat, several elder brothers brought their entourages to greet Kangxi.Naturally, Wang Ren was also on the list. This was the second time he met Kangxi.But because he had to bow his head to salute, he didn't see Kangxi's face.

While resting in the cabin, Yinzhi told Kangxi the water control plan discussed with Yinxiang before, and Kangxi's face brightened immediately, and he praised him several times.

Yinzhi lowered his head and smiled, and said, "Thirteenth brother came up with the first method, and after discussing it with my ministers, I came up with these methods."

Kangxi also took this opportunity to call Yinxiang to him, and looked him up and down. Although he didn't say a word of praise, his eyes were full of relief.

Yin Zhi pursed the corner of his mouth, and said, "The method of 'blocking is worse than sparse' was proposed by the people around Thirteenth Brother."

"Oh?" Hearing that it was someone close to Shisan, Kangxi immediately remembered that the elder brother was surrounded by the sons of ministers. Now that the officials in the court have changed many times, he also hopes to find a few talented young people. People, cultivate people who can assist the prince in the future.

It's just that after calling that Wang Ren in front of him, Kangxi took a look at the other person's appearance, and he felt very familiar. Where did he meet him?

"That's the son of an old minister. He's a naughty dog. His Majesty, the third elder brother, and the thirteenth elder brother laughed at him." Wang Ziteng appeared at this time, bowed his head and cupped his hands.

But whether he is really angry at his son's misbehavior or secretly happy, only he knows.
