Red Mansion Reader

Chapter 57 Forest House
Hearing the teacher's wife's complaint, Chen Heng pretended to smirk.During this period of time, he wanted to go to the Lin residence to thank his senior.But I was worried that I was too reckless, and after thinking about it, I still couldn't make it.

Fortunately, Wang Xianming knew how to deal with the old lady, and said with a smile, "I just said that Heng'er has a temper like mine and doesn't like to cause trouble for others."

"You're pedantic." Liu gave him an annoyed look.

Good guy, seeing that his teacher was going to be scolded, Chen Heng quickly took out a gift to save the situation, "Master, this is a gift I bought in Yangzhou. See if you like it."

In fact, Liu's gifts are the same as grandma's and the others, the only difference is the color.Grandma's and mother's combs are more colorful, while teacher's wife's combs only have two elegant autumn chrysanthemums.

After opening it, Liu liked it very much, and said happily to the child: "Master likes it very much, Heng'er has a heart."

Wang Xianming blinked beside him, but didn't drink or speak while holding the teacup.Chen Heng didn't keep the other party waiting, and grinned at him and said, "Master, I copied some books for you."

The two copies Chen Heng copied are called "Four Lessons of Liao Fan" and "Journey to Shu". The former was found in the academy and was written by Mr. Yuan Huang in the previous dynasty.

The latter book is borrowed from Xue Biao and written by Mr. Lu You of the Song Dynasty himself.

The text of this book is simple, and it is better than reading it as if you are in person.

Chen Heng's family didn't have a collection of books, and Wang Xianming didn't have many books.Both of them are book lovers, and Wang Xianming was very happy to see the gift copied by his disciple.

Limited by the dissemination of books in ancient times, many rare and rare books were collected by scholarly families. It is no wonder that Wang Xianming directly expressed his joy on his face.

As soon as the gifts were delivered, Wang Xianming asked about Chen Heng's studies as usual, when he heard the comments from the head of the mountain.Wang Xianming couldn't help but nodded, and explained Pei Huaizhen's intentions to Chen Heng.

"Heng'er, do you know the triple realm of making a fuss?"

Hearing that the master wanted to teach, Chen Heng hurriedly sat upright and said, "Please tell me clearly, master."

"You have broken the first stage. Your previous summary is very good, and now I often use it to teach people in the school." Wang Xianming has lived to this age, and he still has some knowledge. "I heard Yue Zhang once said that the next stage is to read thousands of books and travel thousands of miles. Do you know why?"

do you mean this?Chen Heng suddenly realized, and blurted out: "What is done on paper will eventually become shallow, but I know that this matter must be practiced."

"That's right." Wang Xianming nodded with a smile, and was very happy for Chen Heng's understanding. "But this is just a statement on paper. The real intention is to make your talents fit your daily life."

"Books need to be read, and even more important to be used. How to use it, and the experience after using it. This experience from virtual to real, and from real to chapter, cannot be achieved without a little bit of accumulation."

"After you go back, you have to start learning to write policy theory. This is where the difficulty lies. How to write an article that convinces the examiners, praises the officials, and makes His Majesty agree with the people is your next direction."

"The knowledge here is very deep, and I can't explain it as a teacher. I just think that your method is very good, and you can stick to it. You know that there is no end to learning, and there is still lingering fragrance after a hundred readings."

Sensing Wang Xianming's strong expectation, Chen Heng immediately stood up and saluted, "I understand."

"Okay, okay, I have to read books, and people can't keep twisting them." Liu came out and changed the subject, "Heng'er just came back today, Heng'er went to play first."

Chen Heng smiled, chatted with the elders for a while, and invited his wife and mother to come to their house for the Mid-Autumn Festival in two days.This was an invitation from a disciple, and Wang Xianming did not refuse, not to mention that he and Chen Yushan were childhood playmates.

After leaving his master's house, Chen Heng lived a comfortable life at home for a few days.

Every day, I help the family with some farm work, teach Shuangxi to read, and review the next homework by myself.After dinner in the evening, he would sit in the yard with his family and chat for a while.

They are all short-sighted things for parents, but they are warm and natural.Just listening to his grandpa Chen Begshan's angry voice made Chen Heng happy enough.

But through his grandfather's daily narration, Chen Heng learned another thing he didn't know.

After the second uncle was fined to do corvee, the county sent people over.Tell their family that in the next few years, they can pay less tax as appropriate.

This time and again, the pressure on the old Chen's farming and harvesting has been reduced a lot.

That night, Chen Heng went back to his room.Now he is familiar with "Dayong Law", and has also sentenced several "cases" in the academy.

Looking back at the second uncle now, he suddenly understood a lot.

If it is punished for the crime of defrauding people of money, the second uncle should give him seventy rods and return the proceeds.But there is a human life involved here, if it is based on the theory of murder, regardless of the leader, the successful one will be beheaded and abandoned.Those who have not achieved it will have a hundred sticks and a flow of three thousand miles.

Wang Sheng had a strong temper, so he ran into the court to death directly, leaving a sentence "You guys harmed me together".So that although there was no murder in this case, there was already a murder.

The county magistrate Xu only beat Chen Huaijin [-] times, fined him another [-] silver, and returned the proceeds.This is to single out the second uncle and punish him for the crime of defrauding people and money.

Another five years of corvée was added, and the name of the changed second uncle was erased from the case.It is to prevent him from affecting himself and Shuangxi, the future imperial examination path.

What a delicate way of thinking, compared with this county magistrate Xu, and then think about the cases he was judged in the academy.

It's no wonder that those classmates would jokingly call him: "Iron Judge" and "Blood Hand Killer".

Hey, Chen Heng shook his head silently, telling himself: It is not necessary to follow the scriptures.

"As a parent and official, you should take the law as the foundation and reason as the root."

Thinking of what the county magistrate said at the time, Chen Heng took up a pen and wrote on the paper: All one's thoughts and thoughts are for enlightenment, and all words and deeds are only for reforming mistakes.

Perhaps the person magistrate Xu wants to teach is not only the second uncle, but also himself.

This night, Chen Heng took out this insight and read "Dayong Law" all night, and he also had some different experiences.

Nine days.

It was Chen Heng's fifth and last day at home.Although the second uncle has not come back yet, the family still celebrated the Mid-Autumn Festival in advance.Although the moon is not full this night, family reunion is enough.

Grandpa and his wife drank a lot, Chen Qi only sat for a while, and then went for a walk with his mother.Chen Heng took the two elder sisters to play crossword puzzles, and Shuangxi was the most evasive, going back and forth between Zhou's and Liu's arms.

Only the second aunt, because the second uncle was away, smiled a little forcedly.

On the second day, Chen Heng was about to set off for Yangzhou, and this time he was accompanied by his master and teacher's wife.Of course Zhou's and Gu's are reluctant to part with their children, but they also know that this is a process that every scholar has to go through, so they can only prepare things overnight for Chen Heng to take away.

Saying goodbye to the peaceful Shanxi Village, the carriage staggered forward.

Wang Xianming took advantage of this time to mention some visits to Chen Heng.

"The younger brother of your teacher's mother, who served as the censor of Yanzhou in Yangzhou, was a senior high school student. His character and knowledge are all top-notch in the world. You should not be rude in front of him, and you should remember..."

Listening to the teaching, Chen Heng kept nodding his head.

The teacher's wife, Mrs. Liu, was very upset when she heard it, and interrupted with a wave of her hand: "Heng'er, don't listen to your master's nonsense. We went to visit relatives. When you see my brother, just call him uncle. There are so many rules. If you want to make Heng'er uncomfortable, I might as well let him be happy in the academy."

Wang Xianming didn't dare to talk back, so he had to be wronged and said: "I know, I know, I listen to you, who told you that you are Ru Hai's sister."

Exploring flowers?Like the sea?Chen Heng couldn't help frowning.

Suddenly he remembered the door sticker that was still placed in the academy, and it seemed to be written in the word Lin.

Chen Heng raised his eyebrows sharply, and asked anxiously, "Master, what's the name of his daughter?"

"Didn't I tell you? Her name is Daiyu." Liu Shi turned her head and said plain words. "If you see her, just call her sister."

Like a shocking thunderbolt hitting his brain, Chen Heng opened his mouth for the first time in his life, and felt unable to speak a word.

"I……"

"You child, why are you so frightened?"

Liu Shi couldn't figure it out, she just smiled lightly.

　The evening chapter will be late, I have to write it several times.Repeatedly polished and polished, hahahahahaha.

　　You guys are a bit exaggerated. I found it unbelievable to pay more than 300 monthly tickets all at once.Okay, now I owe you four chapters.
