Chapter 424

Why do scholars study? The scriptures say: "Cultivate one's morality, regulate one's family, govern one's country, and bring peace to the world."

There are also sages who said: "Build a heart for the world, establish a life for the people, inherit the knowledge of the past, and create peace for all generations."

A more realistic saying of the predecessors is: "There is a house of gold in the book, and there are thousands of millet in the book."

Qin Dewei, a famous poet in the Jiajing Dynasty, also said: "Double big golden seal, the sky is high and the white jade hall. If you don't have thousands of books, you can't be a king." This was also popular in Jiangnan for a while.

No matter which theory you believe, scholars want to go to the capital to give it a try whenever they have the opportunity.What if you are the one who will go out into the picture and leave a name in history?

After Qin Dewei decided to go north, the preparatory work began. In fact, there was nothing to worry about, and it was easy to do if he had money.

Then before setting off, Qin Dewei made up a crown ceremony.They have already become masters of Juren, and they have not been "crowned", so it is really unreasonable.

Besides, according to the Ming system, people who are 16 years old or older can start to be considered adults.

Of course, as a coming-of-age ceremony for a scholar, in addition to the name, there should be a "word".

Mr. Wang Yijing, who was born out of the blue, came forward as an elder, and named Qin Dewei Huaiyuan at the crowning ceremony.

There is a poem that goes: "The holy master works hard and the people are rich in years, and the Dulwich Huaiyuan fills the dusty sky."

Qin Dewei's character is Huaiyuan, auspicious and pleasing, and can express great ambitions, nothing wrong!

Although according to the current social customs of Ming Dynasty, most of them address each other by "number" and rarely use "character", but even if it is a decoration, it should be there.

Then there should be one of the most commonly used "numbers" for scholars. After adults, it is not easy for others to call them by their names. If there is no number, it will be inconvenient to communicate with others.

"Numbers" are all taken by themselves. Some use aspirations, some use landmarks, and some use them for pretense.

Qin Dewei struggled with this for several days, what number should he take?

When he returned to his house from Wang Lianqing's house that day, he passed the long Banqiao on the Qinhuai River.I can see the vastness here, the water smoke is condensed and blue, it is pleasing to the eye, and the dust is washed.

There are also celebrities who are all over the city, with hairpin flowers on their temples, walking hand in hand, leaning on a fence, which is truly a peaceful and prosperous scene.

It is indeed the only contemporary original scene "Long Bridge Appreciating Concubine" without allusions among the "Forty Scenes of Jinling" drawn up by Mr. Qin, a famous Jinling artist.

At this time, Qin Dewei suddenly had an idea, and there was a "number"!

Under the bridge by the river, I don't know whose family's other house, Qin Dewei knocked on the door and asked for pens and inks, the owner immediately gave it, there is no one who hangs around here who is not ignorant of elegance.

Qin Dewei first wrote the title "Banqiao Song" on the outer wall, and there were passing tourists watching it.

Then Qin Dewei continued to write: "Three hundred springs in the song building of the old courtyard, it is hard to remember all the wind, moon and orioles.

Brothels can park everywhere, who doesn't keep customers in Zhuhu?When guests come to the river to exhaust their princes and grandchildren, they will lose their souls as soon as they look at Pingkang.

At that time, there was a stream of incense and smoke on the side road of Hongbanqiao.Just listen to playing silver zithers every day, and say that every family has money trees. "

——These paragraphs describe the overall grand occasion of the Qinhuai Old Courtyard.

"Xiaoliyuan, the son of the imperial team, has long been honored for thousands of years. After the Wuzong tour, it is pitiful for outsiders to see."

——These few sentences describe the origin and history of Qinhuai Old Courtyard.

"Last night, the moon was high in front of the corridor, and the dream followed the spring water to the orchid. I vaguely remember Qinhuai Road, where the grass was luxuriant to Banqiao.

On the west bank of Banqiao, the setting sun is slanting, and the romantic dreams of the old courtyard are on credit.Fang Shu doesn't know the hatred of his children, but he sets off the peach blossoms from the bottom of the fan. "

——These few sentences mean nostalgia and reminiscence, which seem to be very abrupt, but others suddenly realize it after thinking about it.I am sure that Mr. Xiao Qin will leave Nanjing City, so I wrote down the memory in advance!

Finally, I saw the inscription read: "Qin Banqiao in Jinling."

——This is the first time that Mr. Xiao Qin, a famous Jinling artist, made his account public.

His surname is Qin, his first name is Dewei, his courtesy name is Huaiyuan, and his nickname is Banqiao. As a literati, Qin Dewei's first name has finally come alive!
Anyway, there is no limit to the number of this thing, and it can also be changed. I will talk about it later when there is a more suitable one.

In the big exam season every three years, the time between the two exams is really too short, as if the township exam has only been passed for a few days, and it is time to start again to catch up with the next exam.

In the last few days before leaving, Qin Dewei stayed with Mrs. Gu during the day and slept at Wang Lianqing's house at night.

It was not until the beginning of October that Qin Dewei boarded a boat from Longjiang Pass on a windy autumn morning and headed north to the capital.

He was accompanied by Chen Feng, the same year of the provincial examination, and Xu Gu, the son of the famous hermit Xu Long.

In fact, these two should be from Gu Dongqiao's gang, but this time they insisted on going with him, Qin Banqiao.

Xu Long even entrusted Wen Zhengming to come to Qin Dewei to intercede for his son Xu Gu.

It doesn't matter to Qin Banqiao, the leader of the township party, he is all fellow countrymen when he goes out, so let's stay together.

What's more, Wang, Ma, Zhang, and Zhao, who were originally servants in the county government, have all sold themselves to Qin Dewei and become domestic slaves.

Originally, they didn't have a formal establishment in the county government, and they didn't feel a pity to leave the county government. Isn't Master Xiao Qin bigger than the county government?
This time when Qin Dewei went north, the four of them were also accompanying him.Anyway, the family affairs have been settled by Qin Tutou and Yuanfeng Bank, so there is no worries at all.

This time going north, Qin Dewei didn't feel anything new, and he was in a hurry, so he didn't stop much on the way.

When I passed by Yangzhou and Huai'an, I asked Li Chunfang and Shen Kun. These two future champions are not interested in participating in the examination this year.

In addition, I met Prime Minister He Cao's uncle Wang Yiqi in Huai'an Mansion, and then there was nothing else on the way.

At the end of October, when the weather was about to freeze, Qin Dewei came to the capital again.This time, I don't need to find a guild hall to stay temporarily, I have my own place to stay.

Before departure, Qin Dewei had already negotiated with the Feng family in Songjiang Mansion to buy the house in Wugong Hutong.

And when I left Beijing last time, I left all the keys with Xu Miaoxuan, so I must have cleaned them in advance.

At this time, the main hall and courtyard of the house had been taken in by his mother, Mrs. Zhou, and his stepfather had already re-elected an official to take up his post.

After visiting his mother, Qin Dewei learned that when Zeng's stepfather returned to Beijing to review his duties, he hit it off with Master Xia, Minister of the Ministry of Officials.

Perhaps Master Xia can feel that the great-grandfather who loves martial arts is a talent who can make up for his own forces' military shortcomings.

Then, just like the original historical track, Zeng's stepfather selected officials and elected Liaodong patrol censor.From the perspective of officialdom ethics, this is a high promotion.

Selecting from the county magistrate as the censor is called Xingqu, which is regarded as a promotion, and being selected as the censor with a great reputation and known as the censor on behalf of the sky is even more promoted.

Qin Dewei smiled wryly, the inertia of history is still so strong, Master Xia and step-father Zeng really had the same fate, they were killed in the same year in Xishi.

Since the mother lived in the main courtyard, Qin Dewei continued to live in the east courtyard, while Chen Feng and Xu Gu lived in the west courtyard.

After the two settled down, Chen Feng came to Qin Dewei and invited Qin Dewei to visit Zhang Chao, Zhang Xueshi, the seat teacher of the township examination.

After thinking about it, Qin Dewei agreed.The etiquette of scholars should also be the same, other Xia Shangshu and Wang Shangshu should be released first.

 Is there any other interesting number, I thought about it for a long time and thought of Banqiao, if you want something more interesting, you can change it
