Rebirth of Okuki Kofuro

The old scholar, who was already full of resentment, was angered by the others. Looking at Liang Kangsheng, he was even more displeased. The group of scholars who passed the exam back then were not like this!

In a panic, he said loudly, regardless of his face: "What's the matter with the old man to be fair! Then Liang Xiuzhu is not a talented man from a farming and studying family, but he was lucky enough to be a scholar in the exam. There are few scholars present? You need such a talent?" Hurry up and help him speak?"

This old Xiucai was a scholar who was finally confessed by a poor family. He was already 30 years old when he passed the Xiucai exam. After passing the Xiucai exam, his family made a fuss and refused to let him go to school again. Several brothers insisted on letting him go back to school. There is a private school in the village, and it is said that the family will not be able to eat. They really can't afford it. If he disagrees, the family will make a scene and see who will kill the other first.

So he always felt that his failure to pass the Juren examination was because his family kept pushing him back, and the scholars in the same county also looked down on him because his family had no money.

Therefore, every year when there are new scholars, he is very sour, especially those who are younger than him, let alone those from a good family like Liang Kangsheng, which directly makes him cross-eyed.

Probably because he had been in the village for a long time, the old scholar almost blurted out what he had heard from the country women scolding people, "hot face sticks cold ass", that is, he was still thinking that there are scholars around at the moment, if he said it so vulgarly It is sure to be ridiculed.

But what he said not only talked about Liang Kangsheng, but also scolded everyone else. The minds of scholars are big and small, and they can talk about a disagreement for a whole day.

Liang Kangsheng didn't need to say anything, the people next to him felt that they were in the same camp when they were scolded together with him, and they all took the initiative to help denounce the old scholar.

The other two old scholars who didn't say anything felt that they were the same as the old scholar, and they blew their beards and stared to help them quarrel: "Stop talking nonsense, so what if we don't pass the exam, just like Liang Xiuzhu's disrespect Teacher, what can be good, you, you..."

Men in the Yu Kingdom don’t hold the crown ceremony until they are 20 years old. At that time, the elders will pick up the inscriptions. Liang Kangsheng has already passed the exam to be a scholar, and he has a reputation. He has to go out often, so he asks his wife to pick it up first. Table word - repair bamboo.

Bamboo has tenacious vitality. The master knew that Liang Kangsheng was sick and weak since he was a child, so he used this word in the hope that he would be physically strong in the future, and bamboo has a noble character, which also fits Liang Kangsheng's character.

With Biaozi, Liang Kangsheng used Biaozi to participate in the literary conference these two days. As for his name, it is inconvenient for outsiders to call him again.

Liang Kangsheng narrowed his eyes when he heard the old scholar's words. He always felt that these old scholars all looked like they had caught him, as if they had really seen what he had committed with their own eyes. What's going on?

The people next to him couldn't listen anymore, what was this all about? Isn't it just that he passed the exam at a young age, so why did he want to pour dirty water on Liang Kangsheng: "Brother Liang, why don't you respect the teacher? It's disrespectful to the old, don't talk nonsense!"

"That's right, Brother Liang was only weak when he was young, so he just asked his master to come to teach him, isn't that considered disrespectful to the teacher?"

After the old scholars opened their mouths, someone immediately retorted, which is enough to show that their popularity is not good at ordinary times. It's just that when they were in the literary society, they endured even if they were dissatisfied. .

Liang Kangsheng felt that what these old scholars were talking about was not that he asked his master to come to teach him. Now that the other party's words are all about this, if he keeps silent, maybe someone will really think that he is wrong , he no longer deliberately avoided it, stood up and cupped his hands at the people around him: "Thank you for your righteous words."

Then Liang Kangsheng walked up to the old scholar, cupped his hands at them, and stood in front of the crowd, with a gentle expression and a hint of sternness, and asked directly: "Hello, seniors. Earlier, the seniors said that the juniors treated the teacher by name. Disrespectful, but I'm a blunt student, I really don't know what I haven't done well, so please give me some advice and give me some advice."

One is a tall and straight, plump and handsome, modest and polite young man, and the other is a stooped, loose-skinned, vulgar and rude old man. Standing together, you can tell the good from the bad even if you don't speak.

Seeing everyone's expressions, the old scholar pointed at Liang Kangsheng angrily: "You! You are disrespecting the teacher!"

Someone next to him immediately sneered: "What kind of teacher, don't put gold on your face, everyone is a scholar, and they are considered to be of the same generation. Calling senior brother is to respect your age."

Scholars do not judge their seniority according to their age. Those who have achieved fame are distinguished by their achievements. If those who do not have achieved fame are studying under the same master, they are classmates, and naturally they are also of the same generation.

So sometimes some jokes will be caused because of this, the grandparents, father and son are called "senior brother" and "student brother" by the same person outside, but this rule is common when scholars get together.

The old scholar who was the first to speak turned red. At this moment, only what he heard last night was in his mind, and he yelled to everyone: "Liang Xiuzhu smashed the medicinal ink that Master You gave him, so he doesn't pay attention to what Master gave him." Things, he must be disrespectful to his master in his heart!"

Hearing the old scholar talk about the medicinal ink, Liang Kangsheng's expression did not change at all, but his thoughts changed several times. Apart from his parents, only Zhuang Qingze's family knew about breaking the medicinal ink.

How did these old scholars know about this?What relationship do they have with Zhuang Qingze?Was it Zhuang Qingze who asked someone to tell them?Or did they happen to be the wives of Zhuang Chenghong and Zhuang Chengzhi, what the two cousins ​​said?

Seeing that Liang Kangsheng's face froze, the old scholar smiled triumphantly, look, what he said was right, this Liang Xiuzhu is a bastard who doesn't respect his teachers and his elders!

Yesterday's literary meeting was less crowded than today's, but it was more important. Only those with a scholar's degree or above could participate. Except for the county magistrate's appearance at the beginning, the county magistrate, county lieutenant, and master were all present throughout the whole process. This is a rare opportunity. Several old scholars also participated in the ceremony with their faces licked.

However, the old scholars were very inconspicuous among the group of people. They felt that they were full of anger. After they left, they met for a drink to relieve their worries. On the way to drink, they overheard someone talking about the newly promoted scholar. I hid and listened to a few words.

I didn't hear anything else clearly, I just heard the man ask where is the best medicine ink, Young Master Liang accidentally smashed the medicine ink sent by his master, worried that the master would ask, and planned to buy one himself, pretending to be a gift from the master, so as not to save the master blame.

Medicinal ink is a good thing. Not to mention expensive, the key is that it is rare. These old scholars are too shy to afford medicinal ink. Hearing others say that Liang Kangsheng can easily buy medicinal ink after breaking it, I feel distressed and jealous .

No, they came to participate in an ordinary literary meeting today. Seeing Liang Kangsheng being surrounded by stars and talking like a moon, they thought of what happened yesterday, and they simply revealed what Liang Kangsheng did secretly to see if he could still do it. Can't continue to be as cool as it is now.

Now that they have made it clear, another old scholar also said with righteous indignation: "Liang Xiuzhu has no guilt for breaking things. He ordered someone to buy fake ones to deceive his wife. This person has no integrity at all!"

People who originally supported Liang Kangsheng shut up after hearing the words. It is not a big fault to smash the things that the master sent, but it is indeed a bad character to deceive the master. I really didn't see that Liang Kangsheng would be such a person.

Seeing everyone's reactions in his eyes, Liang Kangsheng didn't panic at all. He kept the medicinal ink in his home at this time. At worst, he asked someone to fetch the medicinal ink. The master would naturally testify for him. Such accusations can easily be made clarify.

However, listening to these old scholars talking more and more outrageously, Liang Kangsheng began to care about it. Good orientation, so that I can embarrass myself at the literary conference.

A few old scholars looked at Liang Kangsheng with righteous and awe-inspiring faces, wanting to see the panicked look on Liang Kangsheng's face, which would make them feel like they were inferior to Liang Kangsheng. In fact, their expressions were very Funny, they just don't realize it.

After a pause, Liang Kangsheng said calmly: "Several seniors, the medicinal ink sent by the master has never been used. The only people who know about it are the master and the classmates who were present at the time. They live outside the city. May I ask how you know about it?" I smashed the medicinal ink, and you still plan to do something to deceive the master?"

"Actually, I can tell you the truth now. Last year's New Year's Eve, my mother invited my uncle's family to a gathering at home. The two little cousins ​​accidentally broke an ink stick in the lower study room. The family mistakenly thought it was a gift from the master. The medicinal ink is actually just an ordinary ink stick, and the matter has already passed."

"If you don't believe me, I can immediately ask someone to go home and fetch medicine and ink to confront. I really don't know where the seniors heard what I said earlier. To put it bluntly, we scholars should read thousands of books, Travel thousands of miles, have the world in mind, devote your mind to reading, establish your heart for the world, establish your life for the people, inherit the unique knowledge for the sages, and create peace for all generations. Don’t learn from that housewife.”

Liang Kangsheng first explained what Yaomo was all about, and then expressed his opinion impassionedly, almost pointing his nose and scolding those old scholars who pay attention to other people's affairs and gossiping all day long. Parents and Daoxi's family are short-sighted, and they don't concentrate on studying. No wonder they fail the exam, are short-sighted, and have a small belly.

When he said these words, Liang Kangsheng's expression was bright and upright, obviously he was not lying, and he also showed that he could take out the medicinal ink, and he could tell if it was given by the master.

After Liang Kangsheng finished speaking, the others looked at the old scholars with either surprise or strangeness.
