The Marginal People of Jia's Family in the Red Chamber

my teacher

Prime Minister Yang Yanting stood in front of the gate of the Prime Minister's Mansion which was slowly sealed, with a calm expression.No, to be precise, it was the former prime minister.

The court battle was lost overnight, he was resigned from his job and ransacked his home, and demoted to a commoner.It seems that he should be very happy if he can save his life, but Yang Yanting doesn't feel that at all, especially the enemy who caused him to be in such a situation is standing arrogantly beside the luxurious prime minister's carriage, looking at him.

The officers and soldiers who confiscated the house had just retreated, and Yang Yanting was surrounded by seven or eight family members, including two or three loyal old servants, including his wife, son and grandson. For a big family, they are pitifully small.Yang Yanting has no concubines and concubines, only two sons born to his old wife and three grandchildren born to his wife.

The officers and soldiers retreated, but the people around them hid nearby and watched from afar because they wanted to gossip without risking their lives.

The current prime minister Yang Yan, who was considered arrogant by the former prime minister Yang Yanting, didn't think so. He came here just to send this proud junior brother off for the sake of fellowship.

"Master Prime Minister, do you want to come and see the tragic situation of my defeat overnight? Now that you have seen it, are you still satisfied? If you are satisfied, get out of here. It makes me sick just looking at you." Yang Yanting sarcastically said.

Knowing Yang Yanting's virtues for a long time, the new Prime Minister Yang Yan was not angry, and said: "The younger brother still has such a bad temper, and it has not changed."

Yang Yan didn't come to act, or to show off, he really didn't feel angry.Both of them are surnamed Yang, and they are called "Er Yang". Up to now, even though the situation is in dire straits, the friendship from that year is still in my heart.

Yes, many years ago they were called "Eryang", then "Shuangbi of Bishan", then "Shuangbi of Shanxi", and finally "Shuangbi of Empire". The two people are like two twin stars, shining at the same time, equally eye-catching.

However, history will always repeat itself. Just like Su Qin and Zhang Yi, Sun Bin and Pang Juan who were under Guiguzi's sect back then, the same dazzling brothers will always turn against each other.The only fortunate thing is that their teacher is still alive, and the two fought back, but neither dared to hurt the other's life.Because in the teacher's point of view, since they are brothers and sisters, they should be family members. Anyone who dares to hurt their own family members will definitely be kicked out of the door.Both of them are now successful and famous, and they are in high positions, but they still dare not go against the teacher's wishes.

Yang Yan came this time, firstly to bid farewell to his younger brother, and secondly to warn some people, don't just look at Yang Yanting's defeat and come to make trouble.

"Put away your compassionate face, what I hate the most in this life is a sanctimonious hypocrite like you." Yang Yanting didn't appreciate it, if it wasn't for this person, how could he have lost.

"Junior Brother, I have already said that you are wrong. Now that His Majesty worships me as Prime Minister, it shows that my proposition can make the people of the world more peaceful." Yang Yan calmly explained that any winner should be tolerant to the loser , let alone someone like Yang Yan.

"Huh!" Yang Yan snorted coldly, approached Yang Yanting, and whispered, "It's more in line with the interests of the royal family. You are just a villain, taking the life-saving money of tens of millions of people to flatter those on the dragon chair." That one, it's good for him to be coaxed by you now, and one day... I'll wait for the day when you will cook like a dog."

"Then you are as radical as you, and just ignore the suffering of the people. The teacher said long ago that one step ahead is a genius, and one hundred steps ahead is a lunatic. You are just a lunatic now!" Yang Yan growled.

"Hahaha, at least I'm ahead!"

"Your so-called leading now is nothing but sabotage to the world and a blow to the government. It's just making trouble and it's useless." Yang Yan commented, "Now that I'm the prime minister, that's the best proof!"

"Hmph!" Yang Yanting didn't say anything more, and called his family and old servants to follow him. He didn't want to say more about this annoying senior.

Yang Yanting was confiscated and demoted to a commoner, so naturally he didn't have much money.The ministers and soldiers who led the raids were still in awe of the former prime minister who had been on the battlefield. Therefore, they still wore brocade clothes and sable furs, and their family members were also neatly dressed. A few loyal old servants still had a few pieces of silver on them.It can't be compared with the past, but it's still the one who maintains life temporarily.Now Yang Yanting can only take one step at a time, but he just regrets that he does not have the teacher's Tao Zhu's skills. Of course, if he had, this time the crime of ransacking the house would be added to the crime of competing with the people.

"Get in the car. People who know their destiny already think they are young." Yang Yan said aggressively beside him.

"Go away, I want you to pretend to be kind."

"If you don't get in the car, you can also get in the car with your younger siblings and your three little grandchildren. Why let them suffer with you." Yang Yan pointed to his luxurious carriage of the prime minister's specification.

Yang Yanting didn't even bother to answer this time, she was still his wife, and said softly: "Thank you, brother, you can go back first."

Yang Yan also knew that the gentler the younger brother and sister spoke, the angrier they became, so he said helplessly, "Junior brother, let me send you back to Bishan."

Yang Yanting, who had been swearing at each other all the time, but still maintained his demeanor, was so angry that his eyes turned red, and he turned around and shouted: "Get out!" How could he still have the face to go back to Bishan and meet the teacher.

Seeing that his younger brother was really angry, Yang Yan had no choice but to follow them, send them out of the inner city, and then said to his guards: "Send Prime Minister Yang's family out of the city, protect them, and wait for them to settle down, then come back and report to them." .”

A few guards in black and black armor followed the former prime minister Yang Yanting silently.In fact, after hearing the news that the current prime minister was going to see him off, those who were going to make trouble to curry favor with the current prime minister stopped, and said to themselves: "After all, I am an outsider, so I don't want to interfere. Save the change." Cheng Liwai is not human."

Yang Yanting straightened his back and walked in the front. When he got out of the outer gate of the capital, he suddenly bent his back and even bent his knees. white old man.

With tears in his eyes, Yang Yanting knelt down on his knees, and said hoarsely, "Teacher!" His family and servants also bowed down, and the guards in black were terrified, and immediately separated one person to report to Prime Minister Yang Yan.

"Get up." The old man helped his beloved apprentice who was kneeling on the ground, and said to the apprentice's family members who were still kneeling: "Get up, everyone."

This white-haired old man is naturally Leng Bi.

Leng Bi looked at the 50-year-old third disciple and didn't know how to evaluate him. She just patted him on the shoulder and said, "I quarreled with your senior brother again."

"Teacher..." Yang Yanting couldn't help it, tears rolled down his face.The sentence "I quarreled with your senior brother again" brought him back to his carefree school days, which were his happiest days.Such a sentence seems to be that he is still on Bishan, as if his biggest worry every day is how to hide from the teacher, go to the back mountain to poach wild animals and roast them; Bonus pastries.How happy those days were. He was so happy that he almost forgot the burden of revenge.

Yang Yanting's life can be described as ups and downs. He was originally the eldest grandson of Marquis Wujia's Mansion. If there is no accident, when he grows up, he will be able to inherit a title and spend his days leisurely in Beijing.In fact, Yang Yanting showed extraordinary talent when he was a child. He was famous in the capital and was called a child prodigy.

It's a pity, due to unexpected events, the Marquis of Wujia's mansion was defeated, and the family was ransacked and the family was wiped out. Yang Yanting was only six years old and was not on the beheading list, so he was able to survive.

According to the normal routine, Yang Yanting should sell himself as a slave, live a miserable life in another place, throw away all his wisdom and talent, and become a muddleheaded person.But Yang Yanting is unwilling, unwilling!Why are those who harmed me still superior, but I want to accept my fate, I don't accept my fate, I want to live, I want to live better than anyone else!

Little Yang Yanting ran out of the capital with such perseverance, wandering and begging for a living.Yang Yanting's only advantage is that he can read and write. He has passed the enlightenment, is precocious, knows a lot of characters, and can't write very well, but he is also a person who can hold a pen. Such a child should be able to live well in the countryside.But Yang Yanting didn't want to hide in the countryside, he just huddled under the walls of the city, he wanted to find an opportunity, an opportunity to get ahead.

Yang Yanting shrank under the wall for a long time. He inquired about all the high-ranking officials in the city. If there was no one who met his requirements, he moved to another city.It has to be said that disasters make people grow up. In the past, Yang Yanting was just an ordinary smart child. Now, he already has qualities such as perseverance, patience, and persistence.

Yang Yanting still hasn't found a place to go, and he hasn't found anyone who is willing to train him. Yes, Yang Yanting is arrogant. He also knows that he is just a child now. He is somewhat smart, but he is not a match for adults. Want a safe place to grow up.

On this day, Yang Yanting nestled in the basement of the wall and inflicted wounds, which were left when he competed with the beggars nearby.Suddenly, he heard someone mention Bishan Academy.Yes, Bishan College!

Yang Yanting's heart immediately became aroused. Although his family is a martial artist, everyone in the world is familiar with such a grand event in the literary world, and they are fond of talking about it. It is Bishan Academy.Although it has only been in operation for a few years, its reputation and limelight are second to none.

When Yang Yanting was still the grandson of the Hou Mansion, he had heard from his family members that this Bishan Academy recruited children from poor families for free. His elders used to murmur that this was just for fame, but now it is exactly what Yang Yanting wants.

When Yang Yanting had an idea, he started to go to Shanxi, fighting beggars for territory, fighting wild dogs for food, and suffering injuries and illnesses. It was that perseverance that supported him and reached the foot of Bishan Academy.

Yang Yanting fell in front of the gate of Bishan Academy, dressed in rags and smelling sour.Fortunately, the gatekeepers are already familiar with such situations. Every year when the school starts to recruit students, there are always such poor children who fall down in front of the academy gate.Leng Bi had already told the gatekeeper that in such a situation, he should be treated by the doctor of the academy first, and the students who came to study would be settled.

Leng Bi knew how hard it was to be able to walk to Shanxi and faint in front of the academy under such inconvenient transportation conditions.

When Yang Yanting woke up again, he found himself lying on a warm and clean bed, and there was a pleasant scent of sweet-scented osmanthus in the room. Did he return to Wujiahou's mansion?Sure enough, what I experienced was a nightmare!

Soon, Yang Yanting realized that something was wrong, Marquis Wu Jia's Mansion would not have such plain curtains and quilts, the soreness on his body was still there, and when he raised his hand, the wound on his hand was still there.Yang Yanting understood that he had been rescued, and it seemed that this was the famous Bishan Academy.

After Yang Yanting woke up, he has been taken care of very well.The wounds on his body were treated with medicine, and he changed into clean clothes. He couldn't compare with the Hou's mansion, but compared with begging to survive, he was better than a few mountains.

Yang Yanting is no longer sensible enough in life. He drinks bitter medicine without frowning every day, helps people in the yard with work, never runs around outside, and always carefully pleases everyone. He has a strong desire : Enter Bishan Academy!

Soon, it will be September, and it will be another year to recruit new students. In fact, many people don't understand why Mr. Leng chose September as the day for recruiting students. What does this mean?

Many people think that nine is the number, and it has the best meaning; the autumn harvest in September has passed, and it is the slack season. Mr. Leng made a lot of guesses just for the convenience of farmers and the like. Otherwise, this cannot explain why Bishan Academy is not like Other academies recruit students in the spring.In fact, Leng Bi just chose Jiuyue subconsciously, he was completely unaware of the problem.

Wearing clean coarse clothes, Yang Yanting accepted the entrance test with a group of poor children. At this time, he met his teacher, Leng Bi Leng Jinyu, Mr. Leng for the first time.

Leng Bi was just in her early twenties at this time, gentle as jade and personable, she was the image of a great talent in everyone's imagination.After some school examinations, Yang Yanting was admitted as No.2 among a group of children from poor families, and No.1 was Yang Yan.From this time on, Yang Yanting didn't like this so-called senior brother who overwhelmed him very much.

When their current class of students entered the academy and studied for two years, Yang Yan and Yang Yanting were accepted by Leng Bi at the same time and became personal disciples, and the two became legitimate senior brothers.They are also regarded as role models by other students this year. Leng Bi only accepted two students at the same time this year, and he did not accept apprentices for the longest eight years. It is conceivable how much "Er Yang" is admired. Er Yang was very curious about how amazing and brilliant they were, which made Mr. Leng love talents so much, and at the same time accepted them as apprentices.

In fact, Leng Bi just saw the template of "The Poor's Counterattack" and "The Prince's Revenge". Yang Yan's perseverance, Yang Yanting's obviously educated appearance, Leng Bi is not blind, how could he fail to see the qualifications of the two of them? , will soar into the sky in the future.

Then, Yang Yanting lived the best time of his life, even better than when he was in the Hou's Mansion.

Leng Bi didn't change Yang Yanting's name. Yang Yanting was very grateful for that. He used to carefully keep the secret, pretending that he was illiterate and had no education. When he was just in school, Leng Bi passed by once and woke him up.

That day, Yang Yanting was practicing calligraphy by the window of the classroom. Those who were also in the classroom, as well as the poor students they recruited this year, were very desperate to have the opportunity to learn.Yang Yanting was worrying about how to make the essay ugly, so that the class teacher would not find out his details.Suddenly hearing the sound of "Tu Tu Tu Tu" in his ears, Yang Yanting turned his head, it was Mr. Leng!

Leng Bi ticked his fingers at him to signal him to come out.Yang Yanting put down his brush, trotted out, and stood in front of Leng Bi, his small chest heaving up and down, he didn't know if he was running too fast or too nervous.

"Your posture for holding the pen is correct, why did you change it?" Leng Bi asked.

Yang Yanting was so frightened that he held his breath, his small chest didn't dare to rise and fall, and he froze there for a moment.

"Breathe, breathe, don't be afraid, don't be afraid." Leng Bi softly comforted, only to realize that she had scared someone.

"Putong!" Yang Yanting knelt straight on the ground, held Leng Bi's robe with his small hands, raised his head, and called out with tears in his eyes: "Sir, don't drive me away, don't drive me away."

Leng Bi woke up the child with a wry smile, and felt sad for the child's precocity, and said: "Get up, stop your tears, don't pretend to be pitiful, who said I dare you to leave."

"I'm not a child from a poor family..."

"You are not a child from a poor family, why are you lying in front of the academy gate in rags?" Leng Bi interrupted him.

"I……"

"I know you are not a child of a poor family, but you are now." Leng Bi wrote lightly: "Whether you want to avenge your revenge or benefit the people in the future is a matter of the future. Now you can study peacefully. .”

"You...you know..." Yang Yanting was frightened, he always thought he was hiding it well.

"Come on, seeing you sitting, lying, walking, dressing and eating, no matter how many wounds you have on your body, you can't hide your previous pampering. Everyone in the academy knows whether it's good or not." Leng Bi rolled her eyes and said, not caring at all Change the image in front of the students.

"Then you won't drive me away?" Yang Yanting asked anxiously.

"What are you doing?"

"I am the son of a guilty minister, unknown; I have hatred in my heart, I am full of hostility, and I am not peaceful. Before, even the great monk in the temple would not take me in."

Leng Bi touched Yang Yanting's head and said, "So what."

Yang Yanting looked at Leng Bi's back in silence, the warmth of being touched still remained on his head, and the phrase "so what", yes, so what, everything is in the past, the most important thing for him now is to learn well The ability to avenge the enemy and realize one's wish.

Since then, Yang Yanting has been studying in Bishan Academy with peace of mind.In another two years, he and Yang Yan passed the school examination and were accepted by Leng Bi as his personal disciple. He will be one of the seven sons of Bishan and one of the double walls of Bishan. His era has come.

The past is vivid in my memory, even though Yang Yanting is 50 years old now, he is still respectful in front of Leng Bi.

"My disciple is unfilial, which makes the teacher worry." Yang Yanting said with a sob, if there is anything he least wants to see in his life, it is the last thing he wants his teacher to worry about and work hard for him. When he was the number one scholar, he vowed to serve his teacher like he served his father, so that his life will be smooth and his old age will be peaceful.Now, the teacher is seventy years old, running for him.

"Raising a child to be a hundred years old and worrying about 99 years old, you guys don't let me worry about it." Leng Bi sighed.

Yang Yanting sat on the stone bench in the pavilion, and unconsciously grabbed Leng Bi's sleeve, as if he was not 50 years old this year, but five years old.

"Okay, why didn't you write to me when something like this happened?" Leng Bi asked.

Prime Minister Yang, who was always calm and personable, blushed and said in a low voice, "How can I face my teacher?"

"Hmph! If I don't come, where are you going to take your family? An Niang is 50 years old, do you still have to endure hardships with you? Your youngest grandson is only three years old. They should be sent back to Bishan. Your senior brother is also an idiot, just watch you go like this, don't worry about a group of old and weak women and children." Leng Bi taught in a deep voice.

"Senior brother sent someone here." Yang Yanting pointed to the black-clothed guard outside. Although he was at odds with that bastard Yang Yan, he would not intentionally frame him. The teacher hated this the most.It's fine to play tricks and tricks in the court, but if you dare to use an ax in front of his old man, you will definitely die a miserable death.

"Forget it, the two of you have been enemies since childhood, and you can't leave each other, especially when you enter the court. A few years ago, you planned to have him demoted to Yazhou. I was so angry that I wanted to give you two slaps. It was his request." Well. I'm too old to understand what you young people think."

Yang Yanting, a 50-year-old young man, was flushed with embarrassment. Fortunately, after seeing someone just now, Leng Bi arranged for his family members to rest in a carriage. Otherwise, seeing such a husband/father/grandpa would definitely shatter into slag.

Yang Yanting doesn't want to mention this. He and Yang Yan have been fighting for many years, and the only bottom line is not to hurt the other party's life. In fact, the relationship has long been worn out in this kind of struggle. It's just that they dare not reveal it in front of the teacher, so the teacher thinks they are It's still the brothers who quarreled over a candied haws.

The two masters and apprentices said a few words in Zheliu Pavilion, and Yang Yan rushed there on horseback.The students in Bishan are all talented in both civil and martial arts, not to mention Leng Bi's direct disciple, Yang Yan, who is over 50 years old, came galloping with extraordinary momentum.

"Teacher!" Yang Yan dismounted, knelt down, and kowtowed in one go.

"Teacher, since you have come to the capital, if you don't visit me, you will be angry with me." Yang Yan said anxiously.

"It's done, let's all get up, there are so many people coming and going for the Prime Minister of a country." Leng Bi called out angrily.His two apprentices are used to pretending to be pitiful.

"The teacher is here to see me, what are you doing here?" Yang Yanting is now acting like a cat protecting the food, just short of Yang Yan's teasing, it will explode.

Yang Yan didn't even look at his younger brother, and said, "Is the teacher here alone? Where's the fourth younger brother?"

A total of seven of them have become Leng Bi's direct disciples. The fourth junior brother is Leng Bi's own son Leng Hao. Leng Hao is also about the same age as them now. It can be said that the first four of the seven of them are all similar in age. Leng Bi hadn't taken in apprentices for a long time, and when he took in disciples again, the age gap between the disciples was a bit big.

Leng Hao is now the head of Bishan Academy, and Leng Bi is already a retiree, so Yang Yan asked this question.

"I'm here alone." Leng Bi said, "You go back first. Since you think you are right, then do as you think, remember Bishan's school motto..."

"Study hard and practice hard." Yang Yan and Yang Yanting said in unison.

"I don't care about the matter of your senior brothers. It's because it's a difference in philosophy. It's for learning, not personal enmity. As a teacher, I don't know which of you is right. Let's see the result. You have done a good job, not only Whether it's between brothers, even in the daily struggle with other courtiers, don't fall into low-level methods. A person's bottom line is constantly broken. Once you start, there will be no turning back. You have done a good job. "

Yang Yan and Yang Yanting felt relieved even after hearing two sentences of "you have done a good job". This made them happier than any rewards they received.

"Okay, let's go. Ah Yan, realize your ideal well, and I will take Yanting back to Bishan. The same goes for you. The gate of Bishan is always open to you."

"Yes, teacher." Yang Yan smiled and bowed.

Leng Bi led Yang Yanting out of the Liuting Pavilion, heading towards Bishan.

"Teacher, what am I going back to Bishan for? Teaching and educating people? I'm not good at this." Yang Yanting was moved, but still didn't want to cause trouble for the master.

"Go and wait for recovery, the disciples I taught, can't admit defeat so easily!"

"Yes, teacher." Yang Yanting smiled and bowed.
