Sun Shi has returned home. His family lives near the Kangmen Bridge in Xibao, not far from the Imperial College. The walls of the Imperial College can be seen across the Cai River. The weather had turned cold by now. After being helped home, Lao Sun fell directly onto the bed, staring up at the mosquito net and panting in a daze.
In fact, this house is just for rent. It has a small courtyard with two entrances. His family lives in the front yard and he lives in the back yard. His hometown is in Shandong, and his wife and son didn¡¯t come with him, so it wasn¡¯t too crowded.
To be fair, the old man¡¯s integrity is beyond words. His annual salary of nearly 800 yuan is enough for him to buy a decent house in the capital and bring his wife and son to live there. But he didn't. Instead, he insisted that he would return to his roots sooner or later and return to his hometown in Boping. "Today is a prosperous age, and I should assist you in the great governance to prove the way of a saint!" This is his only ambition, and it does not include enjoying happiness.
So he did not manage the property, but only kept a small amount of his salary, and divided the rest into four parts. One part was given to his family for living; one part was given to the clan to settle the widows and widowers; one part was used to buy a righteous village and righteous land for the children and grandchildren of the clan to farm and study, and the other part was used Come to help some poor scholars to help them gain fame.
The old man did not take concubines and lived in poverty. The only people who served him daily were an old housekeeper, two old servants and a cook.
But his knowledge is indeed well-known throughout the world, and he has written prolifically. If we take the large-character books of the Song Dynasty as the standard, it is not wrong to say that he wrote a lot. When he was less than thirty years old, Emperor Taizong personally went to the Imperial Academy to listen to his lectures and greatly appreciated them.
Thinking of the grand occasion when Emperor Taizong attended the lectures, the old man lying on the bed couldn't help but sigh. Alas, how prosperous the literary style was in the capital at that time! Taizu released his military power with a glass of wine and put civil servants in a more important position. At that time, the calligraphy style flourished all over the world. No matter Wen Guang or military generals. They were all proud that their children and grandchildren were studying, and sent their children to the Imperial College to study. At that time, Sun Shi was in his prime and full of energy. He served as a direct lecturer in the Imperial College. He was always listened to by thousands of people and had many supporters. He was very proud of his spring breeze. Consciously, I have revenge in my heart, and I see the king and his ministers getting along well with each other. A career can be started.
"It is a pity that the world has changed. More than thirty years have passed in the blink of an eye. Emperor Taizong was defeated twice and died in depression. Emperor Zhenzong also worked hard to govern. After more than twenty years of peace, although he was always forced into disgrace by the Northern Liao party, at least the country was safe, the grain was plentiful, and the people also enjoyed a somewhat prosperous life. It's a pity that later on, we became superstitious about Shintoism, and heavenly books, Fengchan, and auspicious signs emerged one after another. Getting further and further away from the rule of saints. After the Empress Dowager came to power, the female rooster was in charge of the morning
Sun Shi suddenly remembered something he was proud of in his life. It turns out not much. Writing a book counts as one thing, and the achievements are considerable, but there are few readers; what about scolding? The only time I could show my face was to persuade Emperor Zhenzong not to listen to God's will. What does God want? Just talking! In the end, he tried his best to remonstrate more than once and asked the Queen Mother to withdraw the curtain, but she was ignored. Although he has achieved his own reputation, it is of no use to him! In the end, he took over the Imperial College and made it into what it is now, where even a few urchins can make fun of themselves by playing cymbals.
Thinking of this, the old man couldn't help but feel sad.
"Master, Master Cai is here to see you!" The old servant interrupted Sun Shi's thoughts softly. Cai Qi is here.
"Oh, please ask him to wait in the front hall for a moment while I get up." Sun Shi struggled to get up to meet the guests. But he heard a cry from outside the door: "Young master, don't move, it's best to rest. We don't follow this courtesy!" Cai Qi didn't wait for Sun Xi to come out, but went in directly.
????????????????????????????????????????????????????????. Became Xue Kui's deputy. It is the time when the spring breeze is triumphant.
Sun Shi was still half-lying down and talking to Cai Qi: "The news about Zisi came so quickly, haha, I made you laugh!"
"What did the old gentleman say? Why did I come here just to see his joke? I just heard that the commotion was outrageous and I felt angry. My husband was a great scholar in the world and held high rank in the court, but he was bullied by those scolding naughty boys. Today, my official I came here to find out the reason, and I will write a report tomorrow to ask the officials to clean up this dandy style!" Cai Qidao.
"Oh, forget it, they are just children. Let's find a chance to talk to them privately someday and teach them a lesson. Why go to Heaven to listen? The parents of these children are not bad people. There is no need to harm others. The future will be their own. If they are not disciplined well, they will suffer losses in the future. Although I, Sun Shi, hate evil, I only care about big things in the court and have nothing to do with these small things!" Sun Shi shook his head and said. These few words show his kindness.
Cai Qi wanted to say something more, but Sun Shi waved his hand to stop and continued: "Haha, I am really angry because of them today, and I am really worried that I will be raised for a few days. The matter of the Imperial College falls on Liang Yutian. , I had a conversation with me that day when he took office, and I found him to be vain and arrogant, which would lead to nothing. If you have time to spare, you might as well observe it secretly. If there is any incomprehension, you must teach him a lesson, lest he become arrogant and happy with his achievements. Instead, you made a mistake.¡±
Cai Qiqi said: "How could the old gentleman come to such a conclusion?"??I can also live with Liang Yutian. I really have some strategy in my heart, so I don't think I'm a nuisance. "Sun Shi let out a long sigh and told the story of how he had lectured the boy but was ridiculed that day. Cai Qi felt a little unbelievable. This was illogical. He started fighting with the leader on the first day of work. How could it be so? He had been an official for all these years. How did you act? Could someone who doesn't follow any rules be so obedient? But I was confused in my heart, so I agreed and took the time to take a look.
For five thousand years of Chinese culture, folk proverbs are definitely one of the effective components. Among them, they are used to describe a person who has no restraints, or the person who restrains him is not around, and lets his hands and feet go wild. The most common two sentences are "In the mountains" Without tigers, monkeys are kings" and "Cats are not at home, and mice are playing in the mud."
Although in Liang Feng¡¯s eyes, Sun Shi could not be regarded as a tiger or a cat, he was really a king now.
The next morning, the frightened children came to the Imperial College and were told to go directly to the shooting garden to gather. After looking at each other at a loss, they came to Shepu and saw that the fellow convict was dressed in a black silk shorts, calf leather thin-soled fast boots, and a folded-corner futou. Behind him were two people, one was the chief clerk, and the other seemed to be a servant. , but all three of them were dressed the same and were moving slightly there.
The students didn¡¯t know why, so they walked up to Liang Feng one by one, bent down and sang: ¡°I¡¯ve seen my fellow convicts.¡±
"Okay, we are all here, no need to be polite, just take off your coat and put down your hat, just like me." Liang Feng nodded, with some hot sweat on his forehead, it seemed that he had been moving a lot just now.
The students looked at each other, what is going on? Among them, there were quite a few playboys who were fooling around, but not many who loved sports. Apart from the Yang brothers, there were only a few people like Zhang Wen. The Yang brothers were the most cooperative. As soon as they heard Liang Feng's order, they took off their coats and took off their short shirts, no matter how appropriate it was or whether it was an insult to elegance.
When others saw the two brothers taking off their clothes, they had no choice but to follow them. After a while, dozens of people in Shepu took off their coats.
"Well, that's right. We are all young people. Let's study behind closed doors without worrying about others being confused. Okay, now I call one, two, three, and everyone starts running around this shooting garden ten times, ten times. After that, the top three winners will be rewarded by me. Um, well, Kunzhong of the Yang family will follow, but winning doesn¡¯t count!¡±
No one had any idea what he meant, but as soon as they heard that there was a race, they immediately felt that they couldn't outrun the Yang family, but who knew that the master actually picked them off first. I couldn't help but laugh.
Yang Chuanyong and Yang Dezheng also smiled kindly and said that they consciously knew that victory was achieved without force, and they did not want rewards if they won. At this time, the atmosphere became a little more lively. Everyone saw that the co-convict did not show off his power and spank someone like yesterday, but also showed that he was active and lively about the same age as ourselves, and they suddenly felt a lot closer to each other.
The shooting garden is about fifty feet long and twenty feet wide. It is a large rectangle. The field is covered with soft turf, which is very similar to the style of the later football field, which is most suitable for running.
This group of children held their fists and sleeves, crowded together, and stood in front of Liang Feng. Liang Feng pointed them in the direction, shouted "Attention, one, two, three, run." About thirty children threw away their hands and ran forward. Some of them are fat and some are thin, some are tall and some are short. No matter what their posture is, they just sprint forward with their heads down. The tall and thin one looks like a kite, and there is a faint sign of taking off as he runs. The short and fat one has a fat chest and a belly. He holds his head high and his two short legs move desperately, trying to be first.
Liang Feng, Zhang Ting, and Li Da looked at them and couldn't help but laugh. These guys were actually very innocent. Everyone stared at them and wanted to be rewarded by their fellow convicts. Although no one knows what the reward is.
After only one or two laps, the question arises. Who among these people knows the secret recipe of long-distance running? Just knowing how to rush forward, and lack of exercise on weekdays, most of the physical strength was quickly depleted. Gradually, some people turned pale, panted, and started sweating on their foreheads. By the third or fourth lap, some people could no longer hold on and were swaying on the track. It was swaying and crumbling, but only about twenty of them were still holding on.
The Yang brothers are physical experts. Although they have never participated in this kind of competition, because they have practiced martial arts all year round, their rhythm is well adjusted. The more they run, the more relaxed they become, just like normal people. There are also a few older ones who have some understanding, such as Pang Yuanying and Du Houze, and can also adjust themselves. What surprised Liang Feng the most was Ding Fengming. This child was only twelve years old, but he had great resilience and abundant physical strength. He could actually keep up with adults such as Pang Yuanying.
He was sparse, and finally seven or eight people ran to the finish line stubbornly, and the rest died halfway, either rolling to the ground and could not get up, or he pant with his head down.
"Haha, not bad, not bad. I still think that every one of you dudes can run the whole distance. After all, there are a few who are poking at you. I don't have to let the common people outside know about it and laugh at you."?¡±(To be continued)
