In Luo Xin's heart, he knew very well that he had no problem at all in being a scholar, it was just that he hadn't been fully sure since the provincial examination.So when he was thinking about waiting for the college examination, should he pay a visit to Sun Jixian?

The court examination was in Jinyang Mansion, if he did not go to see Sun Jixian when he arrived in Jinyang Mansion, it would be fine if he did not have this famous thorn, but if he had this famous thorn but did not go, he would leave an impression of arrogance on Sun Jixian.Now because of Lu Tingfang's reasons, his future career can be described as frightening and full of thorns.So he can't easily make enemies anymore, and must unite all forces that can be united.

but……

From Sun Jixian's attitude towards Lu Tingfang, it can be seen that he belongs to the strict party.So, will he accept the kindness he unleashes?

If accepted, how many true and false ingredients are contained in each?
If you don't accept it, wouldn't you be humiliating yourself?
Luo Xin sat quietly on the chair, his eyes became unfocused, his brows frowned into the word "Chuan", thinking hard.

go with!
must go!
This can be regarded as a test for the strict party.It is very necessary to ask for directions before entering the officialdom.If Sun Jixian rejects the goodwill he released, it means that the strict party has begun to pay attention to him, and he must make sufficient preparations.

If Sun Jixian accepted the goodwill he released, there are no more than two reasons. One is that the strict party wants to recruit him, and the other is that Sun Jixian is not a diehard loyalist of the strict party, but a smooth person who has formed a fate with himself. Maybe Luo Xin will be used in the future, and it can be regarded as leaving a dispensable way out for himself.

If this is the case, Luo Xin will be very happy to see it happen.This proves that the strict party is not monolithic, and this is Luo Xin's opportunity.Of course, this is just an opportunity, an opportunity to exchange benefits, and Luo Xin is still at a disadvantage, very weak, but at least Sun Jixian will not embarrass Luo Xin in the scientific examination.

Now that you have decided to visit Sun Jixian, you need to prepare a gift.

But what gift to prepare?

To be able to sit in the position of magistrate, ordinary gifts are definitely not enough.But it is impossible for Luo Xin to give him an expensive gift. On the one hand, this will make Sun Jixian think that he is flattering him and despising Luo Xin.On the other hand, after this incident got out, Shilin would despise him even more. His teacher Lu Tingfang was blackmailed by Sun Jixian, but as Lu Tingfang's disciple, he gave Sun Jixian a valuable gift. This is undoubtedly a betrayal of the teacher. The forest will be despised.

correct!This matter must be discussed with the teacher first to see the teacher's opinion.The teacher should know Sun Jixian better, and ask the teacher what Sun Jixian likes.I just don't know if the teacher will accept it when he knows that he is going to give Sun Jixian a gift.

"Oh..." Luo Xin sighed softly, raised his head and rubbed his brows: "What a headache!"

Luo Xin is a courageous person who will do what he says.The next day, he came to Lu Tingfang's study, just as Lu Tingjiang was also in the teacher's study.

Seeing that Lu Tingjiang was there, Luo Xin hesitated whether to talk about going out to visit Sun Jixian. Seeing the hesitant look on Luo Xin's face, Lu Tingfang said kindly:
"Xin'er, what's embarrassing for you?"

Luo Xin's expression became firm. He knew that the sooner this matter was decided, the better, so he nodded and said:

"Teacher, Xin'er has something to discuss with the teacher today."

"What's the matter?" Sensing Luo Xin's seriousness, Lu Tingfang also became serious.

Luo Xin said softly: "Teacher, you know that Prefect Sun gave me a famous card. When the students go to Jinyang Mansion, I want to visit him."

"Crack!" Lu Tingjiang slapped the table and stood up, glaring at Luo Dao angrily, "What do you mean?"

Lu Tingfang waved his hands, then closed his eyes.Lu Tingjiang sat back on the chair angrily, but those eyes still stared at Luo Xin angrily, but Luo Xin drooped his eyelids, did not look at Lu Tingjiang at all, and quietly waited for Lu Tingfang to speak.

After a full quarter of an hour passed, Lu Tingjiang sat there and kept moving his body, looking at Lu Tingfang for a while, and glaring at Luo Xin for a while, making the chair creak.

"Xin'er!" Lu Tingfang raised her eyes and looked at Luo Xin seriously.

"Teacher!" Luo Xin also raised his eyes, and looked at Lu Tingfang opposite him respectfully.

"Tell me why you thought of doing this." Lu Tingfang's eyes were fixed on Luo Xin.

"It's a questioning stone." Luo Xin said softly.

"Throwing stones to ask for directions?" Lu Tingfang's eyes flashed: "Then what if Sun Jixian refuses to accept your kindness?"

"That means the strict party has started to pay attention to me." Luo Xin's expression became serious.

Lu Tingjiang, who was originally sitting aside with an angry expression, was no longer angry, and his face became serious.At this time, he understood that Luo Xin's visit was not to defect to the strict party, but to throw stones and ask for directions, so as to make early preparations.So he became worried for Luo Xin instead, and said:

"Xin'er, wouldn't you be humiliated then?"

"It doesn't matter." Luo Xin shook his head lightly and said, "My future career is full of thorns. If I want to realize my ideal, I have to face these."

"Xin'er, what is your ideal?" Lu Tingfang looked at Luo Xin with burning eyes.

Luo Xin took a deep breath. Naturally, he couldn't say that he wanted to live a better and more dignified life for himself, and at the same time let his relatives and friends around him live a better and more dignified life.If you want to win Lu Tingfang's support, you must make your ideals more brilliant.

"Teacher, Xin'er doesn't have the same ideals as Lord Yangming. Xin'er just wants to make the Daming court clean, make the people of Daming live better, and make Daming stronger."

Lu Tingfang's eyes were gratified, but also worried, and said, "Xin'er, your ideal is no worse than Yangming's, and you already have a little shadow of Mr. Hengqu. As a teacher, I never thought that your ambition would be so great." .”

Hearing the teacher compare him to Mr. Hengqu, although he only said that his ambition is only a shadow of Mr. Hengqu, it also made Luo Xin feel panic.

Mr. Hengqu, Zhang Hengqu, a great Confucian in the Northern Song Dynasty, put forward the program: establish a heart for the world, establish a life for the people, inherit the unique knowledge for the past saints, and create peace for all generations. I don’t know how many generations of scholars have been inspired.

"Teacher, how dare a student..."

"Don't underestimate yourself!" Lu Tingfang sat up straight and said, "If you can really make the Daming court clean, make the people of Daming live better, and make Daming stronger. Then you are no worse than Hengqu." Mr. Because he just wrote books and biographies, but you practiced it yourself. Although your ambitions did not reach Mr. Hengqu’s height, you still have his foundation. It’s just that it’s very difficult to realize your ideals. Sometimes it’s you Even if you give your life, you may not be able to achieve your goal. This road is not easy to walk."
