Shen Luoying did her best to treat guests like a host and introduced Chen Jiu to one special dish after another. £ª
Chen Jiu now finally knows what a country bumpkin is. The gap between himself and the children of the big family is too big, not in cultivation, but in knowledge.
After having a full meal and wine, Chen Jiu's eyes shone with a hazy light, and he almost ate it with his tongue. It was so delicious that he couldn't get enough of it.
"I'm going to have a rest first, and I'll go visit the teacher tomorrow."
Shen Luoying nodded, and Chen Jiu went to the guest room accompanied by her servants.
When arriving in Shangjing, Chen Jiu wanted to find Chao Xiaoyu, his sister, and his subordinates.
There is a saying that goes like this: A fence has three stakes, and a hero has three gangs. Although it is very satisfying to be alone and carefree, there are inevitably some shortcomings when it comes to actually taking action.
The next day, Chen Jiu got up early and picked up his textbooks. These were the instructions Chen Jiu had made while studying all the way. When he went to Wang Mingyang's house, he wanted to ask for his advice.
Shen Luoying is dressed in men's clothing with a blue shirt. She looks like she's there, but she's a bit effeminate.
Wang Mingyang¡¯s mansion is very large, at least not inferior to Prince Taiping¡¯s mansion.
There are no stone lions at the door, only two volumes of majestic couplets. Naturally, there are students coming and going at the door. They want to find a way to enter the palace and ask Wang Mingyang for advice.
¡°It doesn¡¯t take much, as long as Wang Mingyang is willing to give a few words of advice, then this student can reach the sky in one step and become famous.
"It's a pity that Wang Mingyang's mansion is not accessible to anyone who wants to, not even high-ranking officials.
When Chen Jiu came to the door of the palace, a servant who looked after the door was sitting on a chair at the door, reading a miscellaneous book with gusto.
"As expected of a scholarly family. Even the servants can read and read." Chen Jiu sighed and walked towards the doorman.
Seeing this scene, the scholars who were wandering around here in the distance immediately became energetic, and another one hit the wall.
"Our master won't meet you gentlemen, you can go back," the doorman said without raising his head.
Chen Jiu is not angry. He knows that the doorman must be tired of these scholars. People come and disturb him every day. It is difficult not to be bored.
"I'm here, Chen Jiu, to pay a visit to my mentor. Please pass the message on my behalf."
"Are you Chen Jiu?" The doorman put down his book and looked at Chen Jiu suspiciously.
"Guaranteed replacement if fake."
The doorman looked Chen Jiuyi up and down for a while and said: "The skin is delicate and crystal clear, and the way he handles things is tepid. He has a style that is different from others. If it is really you, you can just go in. The master has told me to go in as soon as you come." No communication required."
"Thank you then."
After finishing speaking, Chen Jiu and Shen Luoying walked in.
The scholars outside were dumbfounded at this time. Went in. We went in now. I didn¡¯t expect it to be so easy.
Immediately, all the scholars came running over in a swarm, and the doorman's expression changed. Quickly stand up and close the door.
It didn¡¯t take long for the entire capital to know that two scholars had entered Wang Mingyang¡¯s mansion. Someone finally stepped into the palace, which was said to be more difficult to enter than the Jinluan Palace.
Walking along a path, I saw Wang Mingyang practicing calligraphy in a pavilion.
Dressed in white, the pen moves like a dragon and a snake, and the aura of aura naturally echoes with it.
Although it has entered autumn, Wang Mingyang is still wearing a single shirt.
After the time for a cup of tea, Wang Mingyang put down his pen, and Chen Jiu quickly handed him a cup of tea: "The student has met Mr."
"Well, you came later than I thought." Wang Mingyang took the tea.
Chen Jiu smiled: "The student was delayed due to mundane matters."
"Have you ever missed a lesson?"
"I was about to ask for instructions from sir." Chen Jiu respectfully handed over the book he had prepared.
Wang Mingyang took Chen Jiu's book and did not read it. Instead, he put it on the table, turned his head and said seriously: "You should know the realm of Confucian practice."
¡°Cultivation of one¡¯s character, order of one¡¯s family, governance of the country and peace of the world, meritorious service, virtue, and reputation.¡±
"Yes, your Rujian cultivation is still at the stage of self-cultivation and family harmony. Do you have any plans in the future?" Wang Mingyang looked at Chen Jiu.
Chen Jiu shook his head: "Students don't know. Students have been humble since childhood and have no way to enter the officialdom. How can they talk about governing the country?"
" Some of the disciples of big families will arrange for their disciples to enter the officialdom and complete the governance of the country as long as their disciples break through the Qi family. This is the advantage of the big family, how can it be compared with that of the poor family.
"This disciple has many ups and downs in his life, and he has to rely on martial arts to save his life. Unexpectedly, he has achieved success in martial arts along the way, while his Confucian cultivation has been slow to progress."
Wang Mingyang heard the wordsHe sighed: "This is not your fault, but you have the opportunity to enter officialdom in this scientific examination. This is the key to your breakthrough in Confucianism. Are you still Confucian in your heart?".
Chen Jiu was silent when he heard the words. He had been blessed by heaven, and had a small world, and all kinds of rare treasures. He was no longer the young man who allowed himself to be eaten by mermaids. At that time, he only took refuge in the academy to save his life. Now that he has the means to protect himself. With strength, why bother taking the Confucian path.
Seeing that Chen Jiu didn't speak, Wang Mingyang sighed and took a sip of tea: "There are many ways to practice. In fact, I feel that the fastest breakthrough is Confucianism. Thirty years ago, you and I were just little bookboys stuck in the Qijia realm. Later, I was favored by a prince and was placed in the government office. I broke through the realm of governing the country. Later, the country was in turmoil. Fifteen years ago, I assisted the prince and made rapid progress with the help of the country's fortune. Until the country was calm, I had broken through the Ya Sheng Phase Two¡±.
Looking at Chen Jiu who lowered his head, "I said these words to you, do you understand what I mean?".
"The student understands that the teacher wants to say that Confucianism can soar into the sky with the help of the great dragon of the country as long as it has the opportunity."
"That's right, children can be taught," Wang Mingyang praised.
"Now students don't know which path to take, but there is one path that students will never give up. This path is the lifeblood of students. As for Confucian cultivation, to be honest, students are just seeking the identity of Confucian disciples. Just looking for protection."
Wang Mingyang sighed: "It's a pity that it was a little late when I met you. Otherwise, with your qualifications, sooner or later you would have the opportunity to prove the Tao and become an ancient saint."
"The student is incompetent and disappoints the teacher."
"It doesn't matter, this matter is not up to you at all. I will make arrangements for you. As for where you can go on the Confucian road, it's up to you."
After saying this, Wang Mingyang looked at Shen Luoying who was standing aside: "This is the little girl of the Wang family in Pingyang. You are very lucky."
Chen Jiuyin smiled, and Shen Luoying turned red and buried her head in her chest.
After making a joke, Wang Mingyang said seriously: "Boy, although I don't know what you think, but I want to tell you that there are only two ways to get ahead in the dynasty, one is literary and the other is martial, even if you are a martial artist. You also need to understand literature, you can¡¯t put it down.¡±
"Students naturally know and will obey the teacher's instructions."
"There are serious factional strife in the imperial court. Nowadays, internal doctrinal disputes are even more intense. People outside the imperial court are severely punished by the imperial court. You should be careful in the future."
"Are the people outside the Fang that you are referring to monks who have practiced Fang Xian Dao?"
"Yes and no, there are many people in the imperial court who practice Fangxian Dao. What we are attacking are those sects of Fangxian Dao. They are like moths. Once they preach in the human race, they will take away the fortune of the imperial court. How can the imperial court To accommodate them, these idiots don't know the right time or the right place, and they go against the imperial court and seek death."
The whole morning passed in the conversation between three people. Lunch at noon was very simple. It is hard to imagine that Wang Mingyang, a Yasheng who lives in a mansion, had water tofu and two cabbage for lunch.
Not to mention Shen Luoying, even Chen Jiu was dumbfounded if she wanted such a lunch.
Looking at the expressions of the two people, Wang Mingyang naturally knew what they were thinking: "You think I want to live in this mansion because it is not a gift from the Holy Spirit. The Holy Grace is so glorious."
"It's really uncomfortable to be a teacher. Even food and housing are under the jurisdiction of the Holy One. How can you have any freedom? Although you can live for a long time and get many rights, you are no different from a puppet."
Wang Mingyang smiled and shook his head: "You don't understand. Is it the king's soil in the whole world, and the king's plot in the whole world? Who in this world is not under the control of the human emperor? What's more, the sacrifice of me alone can exchange for the peace of mind and freedom of countless people, and there are Why not?"
"The teacher has a broad mind and thinks about all the sentient beings in the world. I really can't do it. I only want to transcend one person and go out, and the students can't be far behind." (To be continued, please search Piaotian Literature. The novels will be better and updated faster!
