Tang Dynasty Mingyue Song Dynasty Pass

Chapter 306 Modesty is a virtue

When Peng Zeliang passed the gate, he asked the servant if Qingqing had returned to the mansion, and the concierge told the eldest lady and Mr. Su that they had brought some scholars into the mansion.

Therefore, Peng Zeliang knew what was going on, and when he walked to the first living room, he was looking at the situation in the room.

Seeing his father-in-law coming back, Su Chen stood up to greet him, cupped his hands and said, "Su Chen has met Uncle Peng."

Peng Zeliang still accepted this prospective son-in-law from the bottom of his heart, and even treated him like a baby, showing a smile, with one hand behind his back, his right hand stroked his beard and said: "It's good to come back, today I have heard that you were in the palace last night, serving as the empress. The treatment with the prince has stabilized the nobleman's condition, and won the approval of the officials, well done!"

Su Chen responded modestly: "As a doctor, I will definitely do my best to save people. Fortunately, the illnesses of the Queen and the Prince were diagnosed by me, so I can prescribe the right medicine."

Peng Zeliang nodded and didn't ask any more questions. After all, there were other outsiders at the scene, so he glanced at the living room.

Jiang Tao, Xia Baosong, and Liu Dong immediately stepped forward, bowed their hands and saluted: "I have met Mr. Peng."

Seeing the three people with bruised noses and swollen faces, Peng Zeliang didn't show a smile, he just pretended not to see them, and asked politely: "Who are these three young masters, Su Chen, how about you introduce me to this old man? "

Su Chen smiled and said: "Uncle Peng, these three are the students of the Imperial College that I met on the way, they are in the same class as me, and will take the imperial examination in autumn."

"I'm Jiang Tao, grandfather Jiang Wenwei."

"Student Xia Baosong."

"Student student... Liu Dong!"

The three of them reported their names, and they all respected Peng Zeliang very much. After all, this is the governor of Jiangning.

Peng Zeliang nodded slightly. He didn't expect that after Jiang Tao, the old servant Jiang Wenwei, he could be considered a well-born, scholarly family. As for the other two, although they came from ordinary backgrounds, since they could be invited into the home by Su Chen, they must be recognized by him.

"Young masters don't have to be restrained. When you arrive at Peng's residence, it's no different if you enter Su's house. Su Chen has a marriage contract with the youngest daughter. In the future, he will be the old man's son-in-law. He can completely make decisions for the old man in the house."

Peng Zeliang's generosity gave Su Chen enough face.

Hearing this, Su Chen was a little flattered, and thought: It's not the time to strictly guard against contact with his daughter.

Peng Zeliang asked the three of them to sit down first, then he walked to the main seat and sat down, while Su Chen sat in the second seat, turning into a five-person discussion mode.

"The three of you are wounded. It's because they were beaten. Why didn't you go to the government office to report the case?"

Jiang Tao cupped his hands and said: "Back to Mr. Peng, to tell the truth, the three of us bullied the girls because we couldn't see the youngest son of the Chafu, Zha Yuanshang, and we were beaten by his servants instead. Fortunately, Mr. Su and Miss Peng passed by, It's not a big problem if we help each other out. In addition, the Chafu is used to rampant and has a strong background. We are just students of the Taiyuan Academy, with no power and power. Yuan reward, so I didn't report to the official."

Peng Zeliang nodded, sighed and said: "It turns out that there are many relatives of the imperial family and court officials in the capital, and there are also many yamen and dudes. Of course, most of them are still of good character. Don't be chilled by this. A tree does not grow without roots, and a person cannot stand without ambition. Only with correct ambition can we not be affected by these ugly things, strive to become the pillar of the court, contact the center, and then do more meaningful things for the people, in order to change the world. status quo."

The three of them were moved by Mr. Peng's farsighted words, and they all looked like they were willing to be taught. Scholars pay attention to "morality and righteousness".

Su Chen gently shook his head beside him, thinking that if Mr. Peng found out about his daughter and beat the cha family dude half to death, he wondered if he would be able to remain calm like this.

In terms of sense of justice, Qingqing is still that Qingqing!

Next, Peng Zeliang asked the three of them about their preparations for the Qiu Wei exam, and casually chatted about some poems from the Book of Songs, Chu Ci, and Jin and Tang Dynasties.

This time, Su Chen didn't feel like he was listening to heavenly scriptures, because he had made up a lot of classical essays and Fu in the past two months. With his photographic memory and the learning method of a graduate student, he memorized all this knowledge, Therefore, Su Chen can somewhat understand the allusions and the source of the article they said.

Peng Zeliang praised the three of them and said: "That's right, you are very good at the study of Confucian classics and literary prose. You have real talents and real learning. It should not be a big problem to get Jinshi and rank. If you are lucky, you may be able to squeeze into the top three!"

Xia Baosong shook his head and smiled wryly: "The top three will not be considered. This year's competition incentives, especially Mr. Su's participation in this year's imperial examination, will definitely become the champion of the new department next spring."

Jiang Tao nodded and said in agreement: "That is, at present, the imperial examinations in the spring of the Tang Dynasty often test one poem and one essay, or one word and one essay, and do not test scriptures and policy theories, but poetry and essays, who can write beautifully and beautifully will have a chance. Every time Mr. Su’s poems come out, they can overwhelm all the scholars in the world, and he must be number one.”

"I agree with you..." Liu Dong followed suit and praised.

Su Chen felt the pressure doubled. People in the south of the Yangtze River seemed to be waiting for him to pass the imperial examination and hit the first place. If he failed the ranking at that time, he probably would have no face to face others.

Hearing that the three young scholars praised his prospective son-in-law so much, Peng Zeliang was delighted, with a smile on his face, he turned to look at Su Chen, and asked, "Su Chen, how are you preparing for the exam in Runzhou these days?" ?”

Su Chen half-heartedly said: "Back to Uncle Peng, the younger generation has been closing the door to thank guests in Runzhou, studying scriptures and essays hard, as long as the topics are not uncommon, they should be able to pass the exam. As for the number one scholar and Jieyuan, I haven't considered it!"

Jiang Tao and Xia Baosong looked at Su Chen with admiration. Such a talented person speaks in such a low-key and modest way. His character is beyond words!

Peng Zeliang coughed and exhorted: "Young people, you still have to aim high!"

"This... the imperial examination requires both strength and luck. This junior, please do your best!" Su Chen still didn't dare to speak out. In the ancient imperial examination, Qiu Wei, he would never be able to rely on his own strength. He could only hope that the exam questions would be the same as his previous life. The memorized articles are hooked up.

At this time, Peng Qingqing walked back, before anyone arrived, the voice came first: "Su Chen, the yard and room prepared for you have been packed."

Peng Zeliang stood up, saw his daughter walking in such a hurry, without the appearance of a lady, he had a headache, and coughed dryly: "Qingqing, don't yell."

"Oh, Daddy's back." Peng Qingqing smiled at her father, but she didn't care about the scolding. She was used to it since she was a child.

Peng Zeliang said: "Okay, the old man still has something to do, first go to the study to deal with some business matters, you young people, let's talk, since the three young masters have become Su Chen's friends, you can stay for lunch at noon."

Jiang Tao and the others were overwhelmed by flattery, and declined politely: "I am very grateful to have Mr. Su and Miss Peng rescued, and I will feel sorry for bothering you any more."

Peng Zeliang waved his hand, telling them to be more casual and not so restrained, then he left the living room and went to the study in the second courtyard.

Peng Qingqing smiled at Su Chen: "Let's go, why don't you go over and have a look at your yard, and bring a few friends over to have a chat, it's more convenient to talk."

Su Chen nodded and said: "Very good, everyone, come with me, let's go to another courtyard, make tea and discuss poetry."

Jiang Tao, Xia Baosong and others also became interested after hearing the words, and their faces were full of joy, but combined with the bruises and panda eyes on their faces, they looked nondescript.
