The days are so long, and they are spent in the struggle between Jia Zheng and Shui Tong.This is only what outsiders can see and can't see. Mr. Jia is still wrestling with the books, but Tan Zhen has always been a character who is unconstrained, so Jia Zheng's books can only be read here and there.

I was afraid of what to come. This day, after Jia Zheng had invited Ann, he had just read two pages of "The Doctrine of the Mean". Li Jia Daishan already wanted to come over to invite him.

Jia Zheng's hair was numb when he heard it, but he didn't hesitate when his father called.I had to change clothes again, and went to the hut for a long time.Li Yao could only remind him kindly: "Second Master, Master is still waiting. If Second Master is not quicker, I am afraid that Master will be unhappy."

Only then did Jia Zheng walk towards the main courtyard step by step.Walking to the front of the main room, I honestly waited for Li Yaozi to go in and report, but I stood there nervously, not knowing where Tan Zhen would hit me this time.

After hearing Li Yao's briefing, Jia Daishan waved at him, indicating that he could bring Jia Zheng in.Li wanted to go out and have a look. It was almost October, and Jia Zheng's forehead was covered with sweat.Just as he was thinking about asking if he felt uncomfortable, Jia Zheng asked, "Father is free now?"

Li Yao also swallowed his words of concern, and lowered himself while pulling the curtain for Jia Zheng: "Second Master, please." Jia Zheng adjusted his clothes again, straightened his face, and stepped forward. He walked into the house without haste.

Jia Daishan sat at the top, and the person at the bottom looked ten years older than Jia Zheng. He had no beard, and at first glance he was a man with a straight nose, square mouth, spirited eyes, and a natural demeanor.Seeing Jia Zheng enter the door, he also stood up, waited for Jia Zheng to say hello to Dai Shan, and bowed his hands to Jia Zheng: "Brother, are you here all right?"

The corner of Jia Zheng's mouth twitched imperceptibly, and he turned around to salute: "I met Mr. Tan."

Jia Daishan waited for the two of them to finish their conversation, and then said: "Ji Yu came here because he was invited by his father, and will stay in Zhuangzi to discuss knowledge with you. You two might as well discuss and learn more. Ji Yu is more familiar with the world than you. Some, you can’t take it too big.” While talking to himself, he didn’t know which name was given to Tan Zhen, it sounded either covetous or crucian carp, no matter how people felt that the name was too joking.Or maybe this kid took it himself. Could it be that he is comparing himself to Zhuge?It seems that he is a person like Yang Xiu.

Now is not the time to care about this, just Jia Zheng's face is enough to see: Jia Zheng froze when he heard that Tan Zhen was going to stay in Zhuangzi, and when he heard that he was going to compete with Tan Zhen, With those erratic eyes, anyone could see his guilty conscience.

What did Tan Zhen do to Jia Zheng, causing such a big psychological shadow on him?Jia Daishan had to look through the original owner's memory again, but he could only know that the original owner didn't trust Tan Zhen very much because of his young age, so he asked him to handle some daily official documents on weekdays.As for confidential matters, most of them are looking for two other aides who have been with him for many years.

The current Jia Daishan is also because of Jia Zheng and the previous life, this Mr. Tan did not slap his butt and leave like other staff after the death of the original owner, but was still as loyal to the Jia family as he was when Jia Daishan was there.Moreover, he has already taught Jia Zheng and the two generations, and the results are very good.I want to come to know how to get through Jia Zheng's ignorance in studying, and I still have some experience.

But looking at the situation in front of him, I'm afraid Jia Zheng didn't get along very well with this person, right?This is even better. Under the double oppression of spirit and body, if Jia Zheng can still stick to his original idea, Jia Daishan can only capitalize the word "submissive" for him.

Tan Zhen took the time to say: "It's not a matter of learning from each other. It's just that these days, I would like to ask my elder brother to give me some advice."

The corners of Jia Zheng's mouth twitched more obviously, and he cupped his hands at Tan Zhen: "Cun Zhou has led Mr. Tan to be a great talent many times. He can't say that he can't live in Zhuangzi, so he has to worry about it."

Tan Zhen smiled slightly, not wanting to play tricks on Jia Zheng again.Jia Daishan then said: "Even Yu, you don't have to be too modest. Although you are a little arrogant, you are not a person who is not in the world. Even in the way of poetry and writing, you are much better than a puppy. It is also a good idea to keep you in Zhuangzi this time." Thinking about using your talents to sharpen this son."

"It's better to be respectful than obedience to such a boy." Tan Zhen responded to Dai Shan, turned back to Jia Zheng and said, "Brother Shi, please sit down. I don't know if Brother Shi came to Zhuangzi, but have you ever studied?"

Just as Jia Zheng's butt touched the chair, he almost stood up again after hearing Tan Zhen's question.At any rate, he remembered that this was in front of his father, and he wanted to let the old man know that he was also a person with limits.So he smiled and said to Tan Zhen: "Students, I dare not slack off studying books for a day."

Tan Zhen nodded and said, "That's right, Shixiong has acquired the essence of reading." He gently praised Jia Zheng.But this praise not only did not make Jia Zheng relax, but made him like a cat whose tail was trampled on, always alert to this next move.

This person did not disappoint him, and took out a piece of paper from his sleeve pocket: "Please take a look at this book, Brother Shi."

The practice of calligraphy that he said in terms of emotion really simply refers to the practice of calligraphy.Jia Zheng took the paper carefully, unfolded it, and saw that the words on it were horizontal and vertical, very regular.But it only takes up the word rule, because it is just the pavilion style commonly used by people in the imperial examination, and Jia Zheng has practiced it a lot, so I really don't see what is so special about this word.

So Jia Zheng said to Tan Zhen, "The writing style of this character is not bad, and it's also well-behaved."

Tan Zhen smiled slightly: "It seems that Brother Shi has a wide range of knowledge, and the words that come into his head are all written by everyone. The words of the old master are nothing more than rules in the eyes of Brother Shi."

It was written by Mr. Zhang Ge!Looking at the piece of paper in his hand again, Jia Zheng felt that although it was only a thin page, its weight had increased a lot.This Mr. Zhang Ge is a legendary figure in this dynasty. He reached the first place in Sanyuan and went all the way to the top.He is a master of poetry and calligraphy, and he often spends a lot of money for a word, but he can't find a place to buy it.

So even if it is just a common pavilion style, if it is really written by his old man, it is something that everyone is vying for.Jia Zheng looked at the writing carefully again, and found that the paper used was not the paper sold in the market, it was white, flexible and soft to the touch.The ink used is also very high-quality, the thickness is appropriate, the black is as bright as lacquer, and the characters seem to be embedded in the paper.This is why Jia Zheng just said that his writing skills are acceptable.

Carefully holding the piece of paper, and looking at it reluctantly, Jia Zheng handed it back to Tan Zhen: "Just now I was dumbfounded, but I didn't see that the word is drawn with iron and silver hooks, and the hook is arbitrary." He also shook his head, He was obviously apologizing for his gaffe just now.

But Tan Zhen could still laugh. After taking the paper, he casually put it on the table next to him, and said, "In this way, I will thank my elder brother for the praise on behalf of my poor friend Zhang Ge."

Not only Jia Zheng, but also Jia Daishan were shocked. Thinking about how old Tan Zhen was, he actually made friends with Zhang Ge's old friend, so how could he take the position of Jia Daishan's aide?

Seeing the confusion between his father and son, Tan Zhen smiled even more shyly: "My friend Gelao is a man who knows how to know things, and he is an adult man. He also has some spare money at home. Love some pen and ink. The paper and ink are all handmade by him, so he is not a layman."

Jia Daishan snorted for a while, but Jia Zheng's face was already flushed.I wanted to say that Tan Zhen was not a gentleman when he made fun of others, but I didn't see any literati style when I demoted him first and then praised him.For a moment, I could only feel depressed, so I picked up the tea and put it by my mouth to reduce the embarrassment.

Only then did Dai Shan know why Jia Zheng looked like that when he saw Tan Zhen.But this was exactly what he wanted, he pointed at Tan Zhen with a smile, and brought the tea himself.

Tan Zhen didn't know that he was also trying to prevent himself from laughing too much and embarrassing Jia Zheng even more. He also thought that he was serving tea to see off the guests, and he cupped his hands at Dai Shan and said, "Even if the Duke doesn't like it, but my little brother I still have some things to say."

Daishan put down the cup in his hand and said to him, "But it's okay to say."

Tan Zhen said eloquently: "It is the Duke of the State who wants to let the young man explain the world to the second master, then this matter is one thing. If you want to have a good name in the world, once you hear the name of a powerful person or everyone, you will flock to it. It doesn't matter whether someone has the same name, or whether the name doesn't match the real name, just do your best to flatter. Taking the words just now, the words of my friends can be regarded as self-contained, but the elder brother only said that it is still a rule .”

"But when the name is mentioned, Brother Shi doesn't even ask, and goes straight to draw a silver hook. It's not because of Zhang Ge's name. Even the younger ones admire him very much, but before praising him, he still asks if it is true. Brother Shi thought it was written by the old man in the pavilion. The world is like this, so I didn’t intend to belittle Brother Shi, but I don’t know what’s going on, so I hope Brother be careful.”

Jia Zheng almost made Tan Zhen pissed off.Obviously he deceived himself with a word with the same pronunciation first, but now he said that he deserved to be deceived because he was not vigilant.Thinking of refuting a few sentences, people are kindly admonishing, there is no place to refute.

Dai Shan clapped his hands and said: "It's a pleasure, it's true. People in the world judge people by their names, not their abilities. Mr. Tan not only reminded the little dog today, even the old man has also gained insight."

Seeing that Jia Zheng was still competing with him, he called him, "Second brother, you will follow Mr. Tan in the future, and you must treat him as a teacher."

Jia Zheng had no choice but to stand up and bow to Mr. Tan as a disciple.Tan Zhen also didn't dare to take big things: "Although I'm crazy about how old my elder brother is, it's still good to talk about friends of the same generation, and I won't be restrained in talking in the future."

Dai Shan had no objection, he only knew that once Tan Zhen came, his life in Zhuangzi would not be too lonely.Jia Zheng's complexion also improved a little, but he was afraid that Tan Zhen would persist. If he really worshiped under Tan Zhen's family, he would not be raped by him every day like this every day in the future.

After chatting for a while, Jia Daishan became exhausted, so he asked Jia Zheng to entertain Tan Zhen, and he didn't mention it.

Tan Zhen also said that he would study with Jia Zheng in the future, so the place where he lived should not be too far away, and he didn't bring anyone over. It happened that there were two young men in Jia Zheng's courtyard, so it would be better if they lived in the same courtyard together. good.

Even if he didn't formally become a teacher, Jia Daishan told Jia Zheng to treat him with the courtesy of a teacher, so Jia Zheng had no choice but to hold his nose in response to Tan Zhen's request.He only told his two young servants, Zhou Rui and Wu Xindeng, not to be arrogant in front of Mr. Tan, but to be respectful and respectful.

Although Zhou Rui and the two didn't understand how their master could be so polite to others even though he didn't deal with Tan Zhen very much.But Zhuangzi is no better than Jingzhong, thinking that inquiring about the affairs in Jia Daishan's courtyard is more difficult than reaching the sky, so he had to follow his master's instructions and carefully serve this master who suddenly appeared extra.

As Jia Daishan had imagined, the days became more and more exciting. According to reports from the people below, every day when Jia Zheng went to bed together, Tan Zhen didn't sleep anymore, and got up together.His memory was also good, as Jia Zheng was walking, he would mutter words, whether it was classics or historical books, he just babbled in people's ears.

It was hard to wait for Jia Zheng to finish carrying the water - this has to be said, I don't know whether Jia Zheng is getting more and more proficient in carrying water now, or let Tan Zhen nagging him so much that he wants to escape his magic voice as soon as possible , Jia Daishan had to increase the amount of water he carried from three to five per day—Tan Zhen went back to the west courtyard where the two lived together with him, and had to play Wu Qin Xi with others.

Hearing that Jia Daishan was sympathetic to Jia Zheng, but it was limited to sympathy, and he didn't stop him. He only asked him to send the soup that he specially arranged for Jia Zheng to stew, and he had to send it after he had seen it with his own eyes.

It was because Jia Daishan had nothing to do in Zhuangzi and took pleasure in torturing Jia Zheng that he came up with such an idea (in other words, Daishan thinks that Jia Zheng’s prototype might really be the author’s own father, or the person who wrote the book either has this disease or that Bedridden, but after reading the first eighty chapters, Jia Zheng didn’t even sneeze. This is a digression).And he found that this cheap son was good at reading, but he was still in good shape, so he didn't bother to ask someone to make some soup for him. .

Even Jia Zheng thought it was his father who cared about him, but Daishan just found a way to give Jia Zheng the brain clearing pill.Anyway, they are still in the filial piety period. They say it is tonic soup, and there is no meat at all. It is just some walnuts and sesame seeds in some porridge.It's okay to eat this kind of food for a day or two, but if you eat it for a long time, everyone will be annoyed.But Daishan sent someone to send it over, but it was a gift from Changdu. Jia Zheng shouldn't refuse to talk about it, and it's better to finish it.

So Jia Zheng's sad reminders added sad reminders, and there was still nowhere to complain.Fortunately, he also discovered a way later, that is to share some of the nourishing soup sent by his father with Tan Zhen.But this person never once showed annoyance, drank up all the food that was given to him, and even praised the soup for its extraordinary quality, refreshing his mind after drinking it.

This is not the main event. What really makes Jia Zheng want to cry and have nowhere to ask is when the two of them are really studying.That's right, it was Tan Zhen's unilateral indoctrination in the morning, and he was always thinking of which book to read and where to instill it.When he was seriously studying, it was the time when he crushed Jia Zheng in all directions.

Take history reading as an example, he asked Jia Zheng to read the same article and the same place as him.Then the two read together.After reading it, let's start discussing it. In terms of learning, teaching and learning are always beneficial, and there are arguments to make progress.Then Jia Zheng had to start talking—Tan Zhen wanted Jia Zheng to treat each other with respect, so there was no reason for the teacher to say it first.

So Jia Zheng said, what we are reading today is the history of Qin, and then Qin Shihuang was so unpopular, so Qin Cai II died, this is unjust and helpless, and so on.

Then Tan Zhen would smile slightly, you read the book very carefully, you all know that Qin Ershi died, not bad.The praise made Jia Zheng tremble with fear at first. After all, he was a person who had read books for more than ten years. If he didn't know that Qin Er Shi died, then what's the point of reading.

The next thing is Tan Zhen's drama: You said that Qin Ershi died because he lost his way and had little help. I want to discuss this with you.Why did Qin lose his way?Why do they know that some actions, such as building the Great Wall and building the Qin Zhidao, are unjust, and they still do it?Also, since the things they did were out of the way, why didn't the kings of later generations tear down and destroy the things they built, but continued to build on that basis instead?

Now it was time for Jia Zheng to be dumbfounded again.But Tan Zhen is not over yet, he still has doubts: how can such an outlawed person manage to unify the six countries, is it just because of the sharpness of the soldiers?There is also a conspiracy of the six countries, which is also very puzzling...

After all this, Jia Zheng basically only had to vent his anger, and there was no room for rebuttal.So Jia Zheng had no choice but to ask him humbly: "Then I don't know what your opinion is?" You have said so much, what do you think?

Tan Zhen smiled innocently at Jia Zheng: "It is precisely because I don't understand, that's why I came to discuss with Brother Shi. It seems that we should read more books related to this in the afternoon, and we can't just rely on one or two articles. Just decide the rise and fall of the dynasty, let alone copy what others say."

Come on, the study content for the afternoon is over, and Tan Zhen even said to Jia Zheng shamelessly: "Well, why don't you write another article about the death of the Qin Dynasty, Brother Shi, and hand it to me before dinner. "

If it weren't for his status as a scholar, Jia Zheng would like to greet the female relatives and friends of Tan Zhen's family. Who taught this child? Do you think writing articles is Chinese cabbage, and you can pick it in the field?What if there were no cabbage in the field at all?Of course, Jia Zheng couldn't admit that he had this place in his mind, and he didn't grow cabbage about the Qin Dynasty, so he could only agree.

But you should give me a range, or at least a title.No, nothing, just let you write it out.

There were two times when Jia Zheng also thought of the idea of ​​being lazy, that is, only writing quatrains, anyway, you didn't tell me what to write.Tan Zhen didn't say that his writing was wrong, but he just said matter-of-factly: "Brother Shi, do you see that the rhymes in your poems do not meet the requirements of the five-character and eight-character rhymes in this test post poem? It’s just four sentences, why are there repeated words, people’s test post poems can’t have repeated words..."

Then Jia Zheng added a new task of reciting: understand the words in each rhyme in the flat voice? !

When Jia Zheng found out that if the content he discussed with Tan Zhen was either stereotyped essays, test post poems, or policy theories according to the requirements of the test, then Tan Zhen would at most express a blow to him at the written time, or Criticizing him on the format, or pointing out some lack of references in the content, etc., is much gentler than other times.

After going back and forth, Jia Zheng didn't know whether he was enlightened by taking too many brain clearing pills, or whether he was beaten by Tan Zhen and knew that he was teaching him the way of the imperial examination in a different way.Then the resistance in his heart became smaller, and his attitude towards Tan Zhen became more and more respectful.

Jia Daishan also gained a lot of joy from it, and it was his great joy to watch Jia Zheng dare to be angry and dare not speak up.He was also happy to see Jia Zheng being hit by Tan Zhen a little bit, numb and uplifted—although he thought about giving up Jia Zheng's first room, but he could teach one more person well, that is to say, he could accomplish his tasks better .The experience of his previous life told him that this is all about points.

However, Daishan silently lit a candle for the original owner in his heart: such a loyal and talented person was not reused by the original owner. This knowledge of people is really not as confused as 01:30.This is true for his wife and son, and it is also true for his staff.

It's not that Jia Daishan only thinks about how to slander Jia Zheng, he doesn't care about the Rongguo Mansion in Beijing at all.But I know that with Lin Zai alone, there will be no big troubles in the Rongguo Mansion.This Lin Zai asked someone to deliver a letter to him every five days, reporting to him the affairs of the mansion:

Now Jia's mother's activities are limited to the Rongxi Hall, and the time for the two daughters-in-law to pay their respects is strictly limited. She wants to take the opportunity to polish the Zhang family, but she has no chance.However, Mrs. Wang still has intentions. She will leave with Mrs. Zhang, and return to Rongxi Hall to "serve the sickness" of Jiamu after a while.For this kind of behavior, Lin Zai is a servant, and it is difficult to stop it.Anyway, what Grandpa Guo explained was that his wife should not be allowed to torture the eldest grandma, and the second grandma asked to be tortured on her own initiative, so it was beyond the scope of his reasoning.

And the grandma's butler's methods became more and more tactful, and the wife thought that she would not be able to hurt her at all by using methods such as dishonesty, less expense, and shoddy.Every time she sent the money to Rongxitang, the eldest grandma asked Lin Zai to go together, and the girls in Rongxitang would inspect the items on the spot, and if there were any problems, they would bring them up in person.If we talk about it after the fact, it is that they framed the master, not only themselves, but also the whole family had to be put in the Zhuangzi.

However, Lin also mentioned in a recent letter that his wife's natal family once came to the mansion to pay her respects.Although Lin Zai refused on the grounds that his wife was infected, it seemed that the women did not believe it.

Lin was asking Grandpa Guo for an idea - even if the door is closed to thank guests, there is no reason not to open the door if relatives are really at the door, especially if the relative is still the wife's natal family.This time, it's okay to say that it's the face-saving woman in charge, but if it's the master of Shihou's mansion who comes next time, Lin Zai, a servant, can't stand it.

After reading this letter, Daishan knew that this Jia Mu, but still did not know when he got in touch with his natal family—maybe it was because of her two girls who were released to the Zhuangzi or their family members. ——Ms. Zhang is still young, so she doesn't know how terrible Jiamu's fighting power is.

However, Jia Daishan also felt that it was time to break up with historians.
