Luo Xin knew very well that there was no problem with passing the scholarship exam, but he was not sure since the provincial examination and juren. So he was wondering whether he would go to see Sun Jixian while waiting for the college entrance examination?
The college entrance examination is in Jinyang Prefecture. If he arrives at Jinyang Prefecture but does not go to see Sun Jixian, it would be fine if he does not go to this famous sect. If he does not go to this famous sect, it will leave a haughty impression on Sun Jixian. Now because of Lu Tingfang, his future career will be trembling step by step and full of thorns. Therefore, he cannot easily make enemies, and must unite all the forces that can be united.
but……
From Sun Jixian's attitude towards Lu Tingfang, it can be seen that he belongs to the Yan Party. So, will he accept the kindness he released?
If accepted, how many of the true and false ingredients are?
If you don’t accept it, wouldn’t you bring shame to yourself?
Luo Xin sat quietly on the chair, his eyes becoming focal, his brows frowned into the word "chuan", and he was thinking hard.
go!
Must go!
This is a test of Yan Party. It is very necessary to throw a stone to ask for directions before entering the officialdom. If Sun Jixian refuses the kindness he has released, it means Yan Party has begun to pay attention to him and he must be fully prepared.
If Sun Jixian accepted the kindness he released, there were only two reasons. One was that the Yan Party wanted to recruit him, and the other was that Sun Jixian was not a loyal man of the Yan Party, but was just a smooth person who had a relationship with him. Perhaps he would use Luo Xin in the future, which could be considered as leaving a dispensable way for him.
If this is true, Luo Xin will be very happy to see it happen. This proves that the Yan Party is not a solid piece of law, and this is Luo Xin's opportunity. Of course, this is just an opportunity, an opportunity for exchange of interests, and Luo Xin is still weak. Very weak, but at least Sun Jixian would not make things difficult for him in the scientific examination.
Since I decided to go to see Sun Jixian, I had to prepare a gift.
But what gifts are prepared?
Ordinary gifts are definitely not good if you can sit in the position of the prefect. But Luo Xin cannot give him valuable gifts. On the one hand, this will make Sun Jixian think that he has flattered him and despised him. On the other hand, after this incident is spread, it will make Shilin look down on him even more. His teacher Lu Tingfang was blackmailed by Sun Jixian, while Lu Tingfang's disciple gave Sun Jixian valuable gifts. This is undoubtedly a rebel against his master, and this behavior will be despised in Shilin.
By the way! You have to discuss this with the teacher first and see the teacher’s opinions. The teacher should know Sun Jixian more and ask the teacher what Sun Jixian likes. But I don’t know if the teacher knows that he wants to give Sun Jixian gifts and will accept this matter.
"Oh..." Luo Xin sighed lightly, raised his head and rubbed his eyebrows: "It's such a headache!"
Luo Xin was a brave man, who did what he said. The next day, he came to Lu Tingfang's study and happened to catch up with Lu Tingjiang in his teacher's study.
Seeing Lu Tingjiang was also there, Luo Xin hesitated a little if he was going out to visit Sun Jixian. Seeing that Luo Xin's face showed a hesitant look, Lu Tingfang said kindly:
"Xin'er, what's the problem with you?"
Luo Xin's expression became firm. He knew that the sooner he decided on this matter, the better, so he nodded and said:
"Teacher, today I have something to discuss with the teacher."
"What's the matter?" Feeling Luo Xin's caution, Lu Tingfang also became serious.
Luo Xin whispered: "Teacher. You know that the prefect Sun gave me a famous sect. When the student went to Jinyang Mansion, he wanted to pay homage to him."
"Bang!" Lu Tingjiang, who was standing beside him slapped the table and stood up. He glared at Luo Xin angrily and said, "What do you mean?"
Lu Tingfang waved his hand and then closed his eyes. Lu Tingjiang sat back on the chair angrily, but those eyes were still glaring at Luo Xin angrily, but Luo Xin drooped his eyelids and did not look at Lu Tingjiang at all, and quietly waited for Lu Tingfang to speak.
Two quarters of an hour passed, and Lu Tingjiang sat there and kept moving, looking at Lu Tingfang for a while, and glaring at Luo Xin for a while, causing the chair to creak.
"Xin'er!" Lu Tingfang raised his eyes and looked at Luo Xin with a serious expression.
"Teacher!" Luo Xin also raised his eyes and looked at Lu Tingfang opposite him with a respectful expression.
"Tell me why you thought of doing this." Lu Tingfang's eyes stared at Luo Xin.
"It's a way to ask for a stone." Luo Xin said softly.
"Take a stone to ask for directions?" Lu Tingfang's eyes flashed: "What if Sun Jixian refused to accept your kindness?"
"That means that the Yan Party has begun to pay attention to me." Luo Xin's expression became serious.
Lu Tingjiang, who was originally sitting aside with anger, was no longer angry and his face became serious. At this time, he understood that Luo Xin was not visiting Yan Party, but to throw a stone to ask for directions so that he could prepare early. In this way, he became worried for Luo Xin and said:
"Xin'er, wouldn't you be humiliated?"
"It doesn't matter." Luo Xin shook his head gently and said, "My future career is already full of thorns. If you want to realize your ideals, you have to face these."
"Xin'er, what is your ideal?" Lu Tingfang looked at Luo Xin with a bright look.
Luo Xin took a light breath. Naturally, he could not say that he was to live a better life and live a more dignified life, and at the same time, he also allowed his relatives and friends to live a better life and have more dignity. If he wanted to win Lu Tingfang's support, he had to say his ideals more brilliantly.
"Teacher, Xin'er does not have the ideals of Yangming Gong. Xin'er just wants to make the Ming Dynasty cleaner, make the people of the Ming Dynasty live a better life, and make the Ming Dynasty stronger."
Lu Tingfang's eyes showed a look of relief, and at the same time he said with concern: "Xin'er, your ideal is no more than Yangming's tolerance. He already has a little shadow of Mr. Hengqu. I didn't expect your ambition to be so great."
When he heard the teacher compare him to Mr. Hengqu, although he only said that his ambition was only a little bit of Mr. Hengqu, it also made Luo Xin's heart feel panic.
Mr. Hengqu, a great scholar in the Northern Song Dynasty, proposed the program: establishing a mind for the world, establishing a destiny for the people, inheriting unique knowledge for the past sages, and creating peace for the ages. I wonder how many generations of scholars have inspired.
"Teacher, how dare students..."
"Don't underestimate yourself!" Lu Tingfang sat upright and said, "If you can really make the Ming Dynasty cleaner, make the people of the Ming Dynasty live better, and make the Ming Dynasty stronger. Then you are not inferior to Mr. Hengqu. Because he is only writing books and biography, but you are practicing it yourself. Although your ambition does not reach Mr. Hengqu's height, he also has his foundation. It is very difficult to realize your ideals. Sometimes, even if you sacrifice your life, you may not be able to achieve your goals. This road is not easy to walk."
Thank you for your book review in the book review area, thank you for your support and subscription. I hesitated for this single chapter for a long time, and I had to write this single chapter until more than 400,000 words. I still feel shameful in my heart. I have collected a lot and had few subscriptions, which makes Huangshi shameless. Please understand, one more subscription is an incentive to Huangshi, thank you!
After all, writing and reading are both elegant things, and I once again beg my friends to subscribe and support.
