"The Compendium of Zizhitongjian, Yanyi of the University, Annals of Qian'an County, Primary Schools, Confucius' Family Language... and this stack of "Four Books of Dialogues"?"
Xie Ying flipped through the two stacks of books that Xie Shanyuan had brought from Qian'an County, raised his eyebrows slightly, looked at the Chang Sui who was standing in front of the hall with his hands down, and asked amusingly, "You want money, a car, and land at home again. After preparing for so long, I brought more family members than I took out with me, so I just bought so many books? The stack of books is not as big as the money box you moved?"
The steward standing beside the table almost couldn't hold back his laughter, and the nursing staff who followed to Qian'an also showed disdain, feeling that Xie Shan was too fussy.
Xie Shan blushed and said aggrievedly: "Isn't the little one doing this job well! It's the master who said that the young son of the Cui family, Geng Jie, is high-minded and not ordinary, and the little one thinks that there is a shop in his family. , I don't expect the business to be much better. Who knows that before I found his bookstore, I met several waves on the way to Qian'an to buy Cui Meiren's books, and even more so when I arrived at his store... "
He remembered that when he was queuing in the store, he saw the picture of Wanning Qiu's thoughts hanging on the wall. His cheeks couldn't help but blushed a little bit. , Even better than that real beauty—sir, you have never seen it with your own eyes, even the little Yusheng who sings in Yunyang class is not as stunning as that!"
Although the picture was painted, it has a charming aura that is unmatched by a real person. When it comes to this, even the accompanying nursing homes miss the throbbing at that time, and they can't care about laughing at him.
Xie Ying tapped lightly with her fingertips on the table, and the crisp and regular tapping sound pulled their souls from the beauty map back to their eyes.
Everyone quickly held their breaths and bowed their heads, suppressing the restlessness in their hearts. Xie Shan also clamped his tail and said honestly: "It's not that the young people are ineffective, it's that Cui Xiaogongzi has done a great job in business. book of."
He glanced at the two stacks of books on the ground: "Except for "Four Books and Sentences", which is displayed outside, no one cares about it at first glance, and it is easy to buy it back, and the rest are small and force him to climb the ladder The bookshelf, I found it after groping up and down several times."
Xie Ying knew that he did not dare to lie to himself, and when he heard that his shop was doing well, he showed a bit of surprise: "Isn't he studying hard these days, and he still has the energy to run the bookstore like this... I underestimate it. He is."
Xie Shan slapped his thigh and shouted, "Young Master Cui has no ability! It's written on the sign outside their shop. The sentences in the book of the fifteen-year-old prodigy are written in the book. This prodigy can even write a book. It's not a problem to manage a bookstore."
But the old butler of the Xie family couldn't believe it, and muttered, "Is it possible that his family hired a good shopkeeper? How can a fifteen-year-old child know how to manage business? It's not that the old man looked down on him, we are still following him at fifteen o'clock. Zhao Tongzhi is wrong, that little son is not entrusted by the gods in the sky, how can he be able to establish a family and manage the business himself."
Xie Ying shook his head and argued for him: "Don't underestimate him. At his age, if I fall into the hands of thieves, I will have no way to advance or retreat, and I will not have the calmness of him. Li Dongyang, the prodigy of the temple examination school, was right." Crabs are covered in armor, and Dongyang regards them as "spiders full of knowledge". Daimiao said it has the prime minister's weapon. I think this young master Cui also has this ability. This is a talent who runs the world, and it is not enough to run a shop. what."
He bent down, picked up a copy of "Four Books of Contradictions", flipped through a few pages, saw that there were more couplets in it than the one given to him a few years ago, his eyes were full of approval, and he sighed, "It's a pity, A good prodigy has been dragged to this age. Cui Langzhong is really a confused person."
The housekeeper persuaded: "After all, this is a family matter. The father doesn't care about his son's future, how can the adults help him. Even that little son must also be filial, and he can't go against his father's words!"
Xie Ying smiled and said, "Why is this only a family matter? All the elites in the world are the emperor's subjects, and the prodigy is also the auspicious auspiciousness of the heaven and my dynasty. How can we let him be buried."
This kind of book should be recommended to those Hanlin scholars with Qingliu reputation, but unfortunately their Jinyiwei and Qingliu are not compatible by nature. If he recommends it hastily, it will hurt Cui Xie's reputation.
After all, it's Cui Langzhong's fault for dragging him to this age.
If within ten years of age, would it be difficult to directly recommend it to the emperor and be sent to Guozijian or Shuntianfu to study? But fifteen years old is a bit older after all. Among the talents in Jiangnan, it is not new to be admitted to a scholar at this age. For a white boy who has never passed the childbirth test, even if the emperor knows about it, he may not be willing to call him into the palace. right.
He thought a little bit, his eyes narrowed slightly, the corners of his upwardly curved lips were flattened, and there was a chilling light between his half-closed eyes. Xie Guanshi almost thought he was going to kill and take his son, and hurriedly persuaded: "Cui Gongzi's matter has his own mother's plan, the adults are not related to him, and it is not that they have not helped him, why are they concerned about this? ?"
That's right, it's not relatives and not friends, but I just met twice, so why worry so much.
Xie Ying looked at the two stacks of books on the ground, and Cui Xie's immature and frail appearance flashed in front of her eyes, and she sighed softly: "He has lost his mother, and I can't be trusted, I don't plan for him, who else will replace him. What is his plan? Back when my father died in Wanquan, and when our family was in trouble, it wasn't until Master Zhao helped me that I am today. Help me when I need to help."
He left with a copy of "Four Books of Contradictions", and the rest was sent to the study room for him, and he instructed the steward: "After quitting the meeting two days later, he said that I had obtained a child prodigy book. A boy of the age of three can understand the four books, and it has aroused the spirit of reading.”
The news that Xie Ying was going to study behind closed doors quickly spread in the fourteenth offices of the two divisions of Jinyiwei. Colleagues and subordinates didn't say anything strange. When several fellow acquaintances and acquaintances heard about it, they could not help but gossip in private. Not long after, even Sun Tai, Hou of Huaining, who knew the security affairs of Jinyi, passed his son over and asked, "What kind of books does he read behind closed doors when he sees a thousand households in the guards
Sun Yingjue said: "How do I know, I just heard that he read some four books written by a child prodigy, and he wanted to study hard. This year, the child prodigy will publish one in a few months. Who knows where the child prodigy book came from. Besides, What's so good about the Four Books and Five Classics, I'm looking at Cui Meiren's outside now..."
Believe it or not, Sun Tai said: "Isn't that the collection of the four beauties? The military governor Chen Ying's family has a big picture of him. I've seen it, and it's... It's pretty good. He really looks at that. Obsessed? No matter how good it is, it's still a paper figurine, it's better to say that everyone is married."
"Is it the four big pictures that came with the book? My son also collected several sets. If the father likes it, the son will give his father a set to play with." Sun Yingjue laughed: "Xie Ying doesn't really look at that, who knows him. What book did you read? Did your father want to be a matchmaker for him? Whose daughter is she, how does she look, is she worthy of him?"
Sun Tai snorted from his nose: "You also know whether it looks good or not. People have done so much for the emperor, and they know how to read the "Four Books" and ask for progress. What have you done! Have you ever been out of Beijing? Look at you like this, what kind of climate will it be in the future!"
What can it become in the future... Of course, it will inherit the Marquis of Huaining Mansion.
Sun Yingjue curled his lips secretly, his face was honest, and he stood with his head lowered and his hands lowered, and said, "Father, don't worry, I will ask him a question at some time. If you always date him, let me know in advance. I'll talk to him so that he can be happy."
He himself was also curious about what kind of book Xie Ying could be fascinated by someone who didn't even care about "Lianfang Lu", so he took time to go to Xie's house to ask him.
But when he didn't want him to go, Xie Ying was not at home. Manager Xie let him go to the flower hall, brought tea in person, and told him, "Our thousand households have been fascinated by the book of prodigy children. These two days we have been full of that book, and we went back to the martial arts school to visit and teach."
Sun Yingjue raised his eyes and asked, "Does he really plan to be admitted to the jinshi? It's not good to get married at such an old age and have a few big fat boys to take his military career! He is so motivated, it's better than me. That day my father heard that he was studying, but he almost beat me with a whip! What kind of child prodigy is this, he is a life-threatening sin!"
The old steward also felt wronged, but when he remembered the solemn Guanyin statue on the wall, he didn't dare to think about the evil. The eldest son of the righteous man, we Qianhu have a very deep relationship with him, and we must take care of big things and small things."
Sun Yingjue didn't care about a little righteous person. After thinking about it for a while, he didn't think about it, and then said indifferently, "You Xie adults are really going to be literati. Forget it, don't prepare tea, I'll go see him."
He turned over and went to the Chengdong Martial Arts School. The sergeants at the gate recognized him, and hurriedly greeted him and asked, "The prince is here today? Do you know that Zhang Shangshu is coming to the martial arts school, and you want to hear what he can say?"
Sun Yingjue laughed and scolded: "How old am I, and I don't have all the commands, and I came back to listen to this teaching? You have never seen Xie Qianhu, so I came to look for him."
The two sergeants smiled and said, "Returning to the prince, Xie Qianhu came in the morning and hasn't left yet, so the prince might as well go in and look for him."
Sun Yingjue rolled over and dismounted, threw the reins to them, pointed at a person to lead the way at will, straightened his clothes, and strode into the martial arts gate. At this time, the school had broken up for lectures, and the children of the junior officials and military generals who had left the school gathered together in twos and threes to talk and practice martial arts, and those who recognized him would come up to salute.
He casually returned the salute, and suddenly saw a familiar teacher approaching, so he went up to greet him and asked, "Have you seen Xie Ying today, sir? Do you know where he went?"
The teaching decree also politely cupped his hands and replied, "Xie Qianhu left with Zhang Shangshu after leaving the hall. If the prince is looking for them, he will go to the back hall of the lecture hall to have a look. Talking about four books is really invaluable."
Sun Yingjue had a toothache hearing this, so he quickly broke up with him and found the back of the lecture hall, where he saw Xie Ying and Zhang Shangshu talking at the door. Zhang Shangshu was still holding a thin book in his hand, with the "Four Books" perforated on the cover, and what words were pressed down by his fingers, so he couldn't see clearly.
Zhang Shangshu said warmly: "When I was a Zuo Shilang, I was promoted here to give lectures, and I saw you grow up and know that you have a heart for learning. Today's martial arts children and junior officials are not comparable to you back then... "
Xie Ying lowered his eyes and smiled and said, "Xiaguan was also in a daze back then. He was more attentive when he read the "Seven Books of Martial Art" and "The Great Emperor Wuchen". How could he know the benefits of the book of sages? , but also gave birth to the heart of self-examination, how can it rekindle the ambition to learn. Today, I sent these books to the martial arts school, and I also hope that more children will be able to attend the school and not only be a rude and reckless man."
