Song Yuanhuanzhi

The pool is quiet and ancient, the stone green peak is new, the pavilions and pavilions are stacked with stones, talking and laughing.

In the lush green yard, the water flows slowly under the pavilion, and you can occasionally see koi swimming in it.

There is a man who is reading a book in the pavilion, who is about 50 years old from the appearance.

At this time, an attendant came in from outside, "Sir, someone is visiting, here is the letter and gift box he brought."

The man called Mr. put down the book in his hand, took the letter, and saw that it was written by Guo Linzong on the envelope.

This person is Guo Linzong.

Guo Linzong read the letter and then the date of payment. It has been more than half a year since this letter was sent!

Guo Linzong put down the letter paper and said, "Did you leave?"

The servant replied, "Still outside the door."

Guo Zonglin nodded, "Bring it in."

Guo Zonglin put the lid on the brocade tea box on the table and handed it to the servants.

There are not many people who know that he likes it, and he doesn't believe that anyone can send a gift casually to his heart.

Thinking of the Wenhui last year, how could he still not understand what Song Zijun meant?
Fu Yuanzhi and younger brother were brought into the pavilion by the servants. Seeing the crescent-colored Confucian Guo Linzong, the two stood directly under the steps of the pavilion. Younger brother followed Fu Yuanzhi's movements, and the two bowed respectfully, "Student Fu Yuanzhi (Song Zike) met Mr. Lin Zong."

Guo Linzong was born in a poor family in Jiexiu County, Taiyuan County.

In Guo's family tree, there has never been a person who has made a little contribution and made future generations proud, so he was born without references to old relatives and friends in the upper class.

Before Guo Linzong was born, his parents had already given birth to a daughter. His father died young, and the siblings basically relied on their mother's hard work to grow up.

God bless two years, he was just 20 years old.

He received some education and could read some words when he was young, so his mother had to worry about his future.

The mother didn't seem to have considered letting Guo Linzhong take the imperial examination at all.

She asked someone to find an errand for her son in the county court of this county. This position was not a regular job obtained through formal channels, but an official created by the county court itself, which belonged to non-staff personnel.

If only from the perspective of maintaining the family, this can indeed reduce the pressure of life for Guo Linzong's mother.

After the mother arranged everything, she told Guo Linzong.

Guo Linzong said, "I won't do such a job."

The mother was very surprised when she heard it. She didn't know whether it was the out-of-the-box problem often committed by young people who hadn't changed in the world, or the extraordinary nature of a natural talent. She always felt that her son was becoming more and more strange, and there was something It had already taken root in his heart, but he didn't realize it at all.

Not long after, Guo Linzong said to his mother, "Mother, I have discussed with Song Chong, and I will go to the academy of Mr. Boyan in the old city to study soon."

Song Chong, styled Zijun.

Guo Linzhong's mother said sadly, "You study thousands of miles away, how can your family have so much money to pay for your repairs?!"

Guo Linzong didn't speak, and directly put the 50 taels of silver borrowed from his brother-in-law in front of his mother.

The mother sighed in her heart, and finally understood that her son was not acting on impulse, he was already prepared.

The child travels thousands of miles and the mother is worried.

She couldn't stop it.

In the second year of Tianyou, Guo Linzong bid farewell to his mother and hometown and set out for his hometown with lofty ambitions.

Under the guidance of Mr. Boyan, he has a wide range of grave records, understands the gains and losses of politics and religion, and the rise and fall of the current situation.

Here is the first stage of his transformation from a country youth to a celebrity admired by the world.

Although he borrowed 50 taels from his brother-in-law, it was not enough for him to eat for three years, and his financial situation was very bad.

If it weren't for the words of Confucius, "a gentleman is always poor, but a villain is too poor" as his spiritual support, he probably wouldn't be able to "sip the water and not change his joy".

In Tianyou five years, he left Mr. Boyan's academy and traveled to Jiangning Mansion.

I met a student Du Mingwei in Jiangning Academy, and because of Du Mingwei, I met many like-minded literati.

Among them was Li Ying.

Guo Linzong had been active in Jiangning Prefecture for at least ten years before he came to Danyang County.

The imperial court recruited him to be an official, but Guo Linzhong refused.

Although he refused to be an official, he did not abandon himself to world affairs.

He came to Danyang County and became a teacher of Nanxuan Academy. He was very enthusiastic about rewarding scholars and supporting them.

Because of his many years of studying and making friends, he paid more attention to people with unique words and deeds, and because Guo Linzong himself came from a poor and humble background, he rewarded and selected juniors regardless of their family background.

Among them, Song Guo, who was in contact with Fu Yuanzhi and others, was one of them.

Song Guo was the complete opposite of him when he was young.

He was frivolous and tough when he was young, and he loved to avenge others and fight injustices, and he was regarded as a bully in the countryside.

And Song Guo was lucky to be met by Guo Linzong.

Guo Linzong believed that if Song Guo taught well, he would definitely become a pillar of the country, so he recommended Song Guo to Nanxuan Academy, and he would be responsible for all the repairs.

Of course, Song Guo did not disappoint him. During the Yanhe period, he became the censor and the state governor. He has made great achievements in governance. Of course, this belongs to a later story.

He set a model for the world's scholar-bureaucrats with his own character, and he is regarded as the Bole of the world's students with his good knowledge of the moral future of scholars.

18 years ago, on the day he left Jiangning Mansion, well-dressed literati and scholars from Jiangning Mansion drove to a restaurant in the south of the city to buy wine for him to practice, which shows how unique his existence is to literati.

Today, Emperor Tianyou is obsessed with pleasure, his body is sick, officials and scholars do not distinguish between good and bad, the party struggle is fierce, the government is getting worse, the laws and systems are getting more and more disordered, and the war in Liaodong is added.
Song Guo and Shentu Ziling asked Mr. Song about Mr. Lin Zong's preferences, and Song Zijun naturally knew the meaning.

In his letter to Guo Linzong, in addition to talking about Jian'an County and the Wenhui, he also mentioned two people who were studying abroad.

Based on his understanding of Guo Linzong, Fu Yuanzhi's two brothers could be treated favorably by Guo Linzong.

Because of its geographical location and traffic, Yangjiang Mansion is naturally not as prosperous and culturally rich as Jian'an County, let alone Jiangning Mansion and Danyang County and other nearby counties.

And they were able to step out of Yangjiang Mansion and go out to study all the way, not to mention their knowledge, just their courage and heart can make Song Zijun and Guo Linzong look at each other with admiration.

read more, walk more.

Guo Linzong went from Taiyuan County to Gushi, then to Jiangning Prefecture to study, and now to Danyang County. He knows the benefits of studying abroad.

Traveling thousands of miles and reading are complementary. Reading is static, while traveling is dynamic. Knowledge in books is limited. Only by traveling, seeing and hearing can make up for it.

If the relationship between "reading" and "traveling" is used as a metaphor, "reading ten thousand volumes of books" is like people seeing the golden mountain of knowledge and ability through a window, but to really get the golden mountain of knowledge and ability, you must By going out the door to "travel thousands of miles".

So when he learned that Fu Yuanzhi and Song Yi had come out for study tours, he felt even more appreciative in his heart.

The two were eager to study, and he was dazed for a moment, as if seeing himself and Song Zijun in the past.
