Han Zuo Gaomen

Chapter 142
Shen Zhezi remembers a lot of famous poems through the ages. This "Wandering Zi Yin" is simple and affectionate, but it is not enough to show talent, nor can it cater to the aesthetic taste of the current people, but the biggest advantage lies in righteousness and absolute values. correct!No one can fault it!
Moreover, there are so many displaced families in the north and south nowadays, and it is difficult for sons who travel far away to serve their parents. It is inevitable to feel hurt when I feel this.I believe that it won't be long before this poem will spread across the world as quickly as "Born to be a hero", and because of its lofty and correct intention, there is no hidden danger of stirring up discord between the North and the South.

If you simply want to show your literary talent and adapt to the occasion, Liu Yuxi's "Humble Room Inscription" is actually a good choice.But after weighing again and again, Shen Zhezi still gave up.Because of the last sentence of "Humble Room Ming", Confucius said: "Why is there such a thing as shabby?"After careful study, there is actually something wrong.

The source of this sentence is "The Analects of Confucius": If you want to live in Jiuyi, you may say: "How ugly is it?"

Where a gentleman lives, why is there such a thing?There is nothing wrong with it in itself, but I also boast about these hermits living in the shabby garden.The problem lies in the Jiuyi. In the pre-Qin period, the Wuyue area was a land of barbarians.How can a gentleman live in it?If Shen Zhezi wants to use this scripture, he has to answer those who ask questions. Who is the gentleman who is comparable to Confucius in virtue nowadays?No matter how you answer, it is a mistake.

Copying must be done carefully, and it is better not to copy if you leave this kind of pretext to be criticized by others.Many allusions are weighed one by one, and many taboos have to be considered, which is even more tiring than original writing.Therefore, even if Shen Zhezi had no choice but to copy, he tried to copy some works with fewer allusions.

Moreover, copying the text is just the beginning. Ever since he was thinking in the bamboo forest, he has already started to think about a whole set of plans. Copying a song "Wandering Zi Yin" is just as an introduction to an event, mainly to attract this young man. .Once it is decided to use this plan, even if the young man is not in the hall, someone must invite someone to tell about it.

But although Shen Zhezi had a plan, the young man's self-introduction of his identity still exceeded his expectations, which made the next plan a little variable.Because this young man seems to be poor, but his family background is not weak. He is a member of Zhang Jikang's Yuan branch in the seat, and he is also the Zhang family of Wu County. His name is Zhang Jin, and his style name is Ziyu.

Although the current major families are deeply rooted and leafy, it is inevitable that some clansmen who are becoming more and more alienated will become poor and humble.Not to mention the Zhang family of Wu County, even Wu Xing Shen's Jiangdong Haoshou has many poor relatives.For example, the clansmen who were separated from the clan earlier, the Dongzong will definitely not support and subsidize them. After a generation or two, they are already strangers.

But the reason is this, now that under the watchful eyes of the public, it is always a bad face if one's poor relatives are brought out to be watched by the crowd.So Zhang Jikang felt a little embarrassed and fidgeted at the table. He didn't say a word when everyone praised the poem.

But in fact, he felt wronged, because he didn't have the heart to deal with chores, and even neglected the management of the garden, so how could he know that a poor relative entered the garden.If he had known early on, at least he would have given the young man two new clothes, which would save him some face.

But at the table, there was an old man Ding Wei who didn't care about other people's feelings. He was smiling and the audience was commenting on the poem. When he turned his eyes, he found Zhang Jikang with an unnatural expression, and said with a smile: "Ji Kang, we will wait for you." We all know that you have a clear and simple taste, you don’t care about common things, and you definitely don’t deliberately treat your family members harshly, so don’t doubt yourself. The rest of you have already commented on this poem, what do you think?”

That's the reason, but Zhang Jikang felt even more ashamed when he said it so bluntly in public.If it weren't for the old man who really couldn't be offended, he would have turned his face.After pondering for a while, he said casually: "The words are sparse, and the words are promiscuous, but the sincerity is desirable. However, Mr. Shen's family is still young, and it is rare to have such a work."

Hearing his comment, everyone in the hall couldn't help but change their faces. They all highly respected this poem just now.

In particular, Zhai Zhuang, a hermit in Lushan Mountain, even regarded this poem as a masterpiece handed down from generation to generation. He did not know Shen Zhezi, and his family had nothing to do with the Ji family in Danyang and the Shen family in Wu Xing.In his opinion, Zhang Jikang's evaluation was too belittling and biased. It was just that he was a guest here, so it was inconvenient to refute him, but he felt that the Zhang family was well-known outside, and his children were no longer as open-minded as their ancestors.

Zhang Jikang had other thoughts at the moment, but he didn't realize that the atmosphere had changed. He just nodded the young man Zhang Jin in the hall, and said with displeasure: "Since the orphan mother is in the hall, why do you have to travel far away from home? Wu County has its own family education, and all the children and scholars are supported by rice and silk, so why not go to the prosperous Gyeonggi?"

After being reprimanded by this, Zhang Jin's face became even more gloomy, but he didn't dare to open his mouth to defend himself.Although the Zhang family has family background, but the quota is only [-] or [-], and some close and powerful clan members have been divided up, how could it be his turn to a clan member who has been estranged for a long time.It was precisely because he couldn't get into the family school that he went to Jiankang to listen here, and why he couldn't go to the inn because of the prosperity of Gyeonggi!
He had a sentimental side in his personality, so he didn't dare to defend himself at the moment, and soon tears filled his eyes again.

Shen Zhezi couldn't help frowning when he heard this. Seeing Zhang Jin being so poor and struggling to study, he really didn't expect that this person was actually a child of the Zhang family in Wu County, so he really couldn't absolve himself of the blame for this matter, and he didn't dislike Zhang Jikang belittling poetry.But it was unacceptable to hear Zhang Jikang directly questioning Zhang Jin's desire to study!

The prosperity of Gyeonggi has something to do with this overgrown hidden garden?This is already considered a rather harsh slander, especially since Zhang Jikang is well-known in Wuzhong, and being named by him may even ruin the future of this young man!
It is true that Shen Zhezi pulled Zhang Jin out to use it as a bridge, but he also had the intention of helping a group of young people.Unexpectedly, his negligence for a while, coupled with the fact that Ji Kang is far from being as open-minded as the outside world eulogizes, has actually harmed this young man.

After pondering for a while, Shen Zhezi walked up to Zhang Jin and encouraged him with a smile: "My parents are here. If you don't travel far, you must travel well. The words of the master are exactly what Brother Zhang taught. Although Brother Zhang can't worship Gaotang, However, traveling far away to study understanding, hearing Zhai Gong’s rites, and weeping with emotion, this is called enlightenment and seeing nature, this trip is worthwhile! Now that you have gained something, you return to your hometown with pride, although you have no crown, and you are proud, but you are punished. , why be afraid to speak wrong!"

Hearing Shen Zhezi's sonorous words, Zhang Jin's eyes gradually brightened, and they were no longer dim.

"This passionate language is exactly the youthful spirit in Wuzhong!"

Ding Wei applauded at the table, if it was an unintentional mistake to run Zhang Jikang before, then it is deliberate now.He also felt that Zhang Jikang was not indifferent to this matter, why should he embarrass his own junior who is very eager to learn.

Shen Zhezi's earlier poem, although he thought it was good in his heart, but this kind of wanderer's feeling is a bit unfamiliar to him at his age, so he had to consult everyone's opinions to determine whether it was a high-quality poem.

Although he has no poetic talent, he can understand the direction of his words. Shen Zhezi's words not only praised the young man, but also pushed back Zhang Jikang's gaffe, allowing him to see Shen Zhezi's talent and style, as well as the young man. The edge that a person should have.Therefore, the feeling is even greater than that of the previous poem.

Zhai Zhuang at the banquet also looked at Zhang Jin and said with a smile: "People suffer from not cultivating virtues more than not studying. Filial piety is the foundation of virtue. Mr. Zhang's young man can return home to take care of his mother with peace of mind. After fulfilling his filial piety, if he studies If you still have a firm heart, you can come to my thatched cottage on Lushan Mountain, and you will have a place for yourself."

These words are not stingy enough to express their willingness to accept Zhang Jin as a disciple. The Zhai family has been hidden in Lushan Mountain for a long time. Although there is no official title, the reputation is extremely high.Zhai Tang, the father of Zhai Zhuang, was recruited and hired by the emperor repeatedly with the ceremony of binding silk. He is the master among the famous hermits in Jiangdong.It is definitely a great honor to be able to vote for this sect.

Zhai Zhuang was originally an indifferent person, so he would not say this without considering the feelings of his master Zhang Jikang, but the young man from the Shen family said that Zhang Jin felt touched when he heard his ceremony, so he had to make a statement.

Hearing this, Zhang Jin's expression became even more excited, and he knelt down on the ground and bowed to Zhai Zhuang, with tears rolling down his face.When he turned to Shen Zhezi again, Shen Zhezi hurriedly jumped away, helped Zhang Jin up from the side, and pulled him back to his seat.As soon as he sat down, he saw a servant at the entrance of the hall making a gesture, he understood it and nodded slightly.

Although he used the Zhang family's territory to justify himself, but turned to slap Zhang Jikang in the face, but in the end it was the Zhang family who benefited.When the matter reached this point, Shen Zhezi had nothing to worry about, and he followed the original plan.

He glanced at Zhang Jin, who was kneeling at the side of the table and refused to enter the main table, and asked with a smile, "I wonder if Brother Zhang can get married?"

Zhang Jin didn't expect Shen Zhezi to be so out of his mind, his expression became more rigid, and he waved his hands anxiously: "Not yet."

"A loving mother is old, how can she let her hold the thread tightly. Brother Zhang should marry a family early, this is also the principle of filial piety."

Shen Zhezi was much younger than Zhang Jin, but this kind of marriage urging words came naturally, pointing to the patches on Zhang Jin's clothes.

"My family is poor..." Zhang Jin replied subconsciously, and immediately realized that something was wrong, she quickly fell silent, and did not dare to look at Zhang Jikang who was sitting at the other table.

"A virtuous family, happy in the village, is there no good match?"

Speaking of this, Shen Zhezi smiled again: "Brother Zhang is filial to his studies, I really admire such virtue. However, being filial at home, providing food and clothing, soup and medicine spoons are all waste. I wonder if Brother Zhang has constant business output in his family. For consumption?"

This question was a bit abrupt, and Zhang Jikang felt more like sitting on pins and needles at the table, and said coldly: "My family is not as powerful as the noble family, and it is still part of my job to support the widows and widows in the family."

"Little boy made a slip of the tongue, why bother!"

Ding Wei said with some displeasure that he had an upright temperament and couldn't hide things in his heart, so he was quite dissatisfied with Zhang Jikang's performance today.He also knew that Zhang Jiaqing was a high-ranking family, maybe he was negligent before, but today even Zhai Zhuang expressed his willingness to accept Zhang Jin as his apprentice, so naturally he would not treat this family coldly in the future.But the position in his heart was already biased towards Shen Zhezi, so he wanted to defend him.
