Ninefold Purple

"Song Yan?" Aunt looked at Dou Zhao in astonishment, very surprised.

"Yes!" Dou Zhao expressed great interest, "Both his parents died, and there is no one else at home. He spent those years with Mr. Song in Zhending. You have seen him, and his personality is the most honest. It would be great if you can recruit him as a bride!"

Aunt came back to her senses.Seeing Dou Zhao's serious look, he was both angry and funny, and said, "You didn't make a temporary decision, did you?"

If he said that it was a temporary decision, with the prudence of his aunt, he would definitely refuse.

Dou Zhao categorically denied it: "Of course not. I originally planned to do so, but the Song family's background is too weak. You said that you want to find someone from a scholarly family, and only Song Yan is the most suitable." She said, "forced" The aunt made up her mind, "You can tell me if it's feasible or not? If you like it, before Mr. Song and Song Yan return home, I'll ask Yantang to come forward to help with this big matchmaker. If you're not satisfied, we'll think about it later. The solution." She said in a low voice, "Isn't it better to have as few three aunts and six uncles as possible in the family? Besides, Song Yan was grown up by us, and we know all about it. How can there be a more suitable candidate?" [

Since a son-in-law is going to be recruited, the family must have weak heirs. Although the property inheritance and maintenance contracts will be signed before entering the family, but as the father ages and frailty, the son-in-law who joins the family is smart and capable, and gradually becomes powerful, and finally seeks out the woman. It is not uncommon for the heroine to marry another wife and have children, which is also one of the important reasons why the heroine is very cautious about recruiting a son-in-law and attaches great importance to the character of the hero.

From this point of view, Song Yan's conduct is really speechless.

It was only brought up by the woman, and it was obviously disgusting to drive ducks to the shelves.

Aunt hesitated.

For Dou Zhao himself, the more he thought about it, the more he felt that Song Yan was suitable - not only handsome in appearance, but also gentle in character, diligent in hands and feet, and loyal.Uncle and aunt will live a good life with Song Yan taking care of them when they get old.

Seeing this, she hurriedly said, "Whether it will work or not, we have to try, right? My cousin is already 20 years old, how many more years can you keep?"

The aunt thought about it, and then she walked away with a firm hand, and said: "Try to hear the word, if the Song family has this intention, it won't be too late for us to propose marriage at that time."

Dou Zhao gave a "hmm".I happily went to the front flower hall.

Song Mozheng was talking to Song Yan: "...I didn't expect that we are still a family? I don't know where you are from? How old are you? What does your father do? Who else is in the family? Have you ever read a book?"

Mr. Song only thought that Song Mo was curious when he met someone with the same surname, and he didn't doubt it, so Song Yan wouldn't doubt it.He answered respectfully one by one: "I am from Quzhou. I just won the crown this year. My father was originally a scholar. He made a living by sitting in the hall. I died of illness when I was three years old. When I was seven years old, my mother also died of illness. There is no one in the family. After reading with my uncle for several years, I can recognize a few words."

He was humble and polite, and Song Mo couldn't help but secretly nodded.He asked again: "Since you have already reached the crown, is it possible to use another word?"

"Take it!" Song Yan said, "Uncle gave me the other word 'Qianli'."

Song Mo listened, and his smile became even more cordial.Said: "Then what kind of books do you usually read? Did you get off the scene?"

"Usually, I just read the Four Books and Five Classics with my uncle. My uncle said that my level is limited, and it will not be too late for me to study for a few more years."

Song Mo knew that Jiangnan style was at its peak, and it was much more difficult for an ordinary scholar to be tested than in the north.Moreover, Song Yan's parents died, and Song Yumin was sitting in Zhending again.It took a lot of money to travel thousands of miles to the south of the Yangtze River, and I'm afraid it was one of the reasons why I didn't go back to my hometown for scientific research.

"Since we are about to end, do you have some experience in making art?" He laughed.

Song Yan was modest as usual: "But I just learned to write, so it can only be regarded as not out of shape."

Song Mo said with a smile: "Last time I saw a question in my father-in-law's room, 'Know how to cultivate yourself, and follow the festival', I know this 'Know how to cultivate yourself', it is 'Know how to cultivate yourself, then know how to govern others; If you govern people, you will know how to govern the world.’ But I don’t know what this ‘hexia festival’ is?”

Song Yumin, Dou Zhengchang, and Dou Dechang, who were looking at them with a smile, couldn't help but suppress their smiles. [

This is a "intersection question", which requires art producers to be familiar with the Four Books and Five Classics, and it is the most difficult question in art production.

Song Mo said that he didn't know what the next sentence was, and Song Yumin, Dou Zhengchang, and Dou Dechang naturally didn't believe it.But Song Yan and Song Mo were worried, what did he mean by embarrassing Song Yan like this?

Song Yumin sat up straight involuntarily.

Brothers Dou Zhengchang and Dou Dechang exchanged a look in surprise.

Song Yan laughed and said, "It's the mean. There are nine classics for every country in the world, such as self-cultivation, respecting the virtuous, being close to relatives, respecting ministers, organizing officials, serving the common people, and coming to all kinds of craftsmen. Rouyuan people are also, and princes are also pregnant'."

He also heard something, the fourth son-in-law of the Dou family, the eldest son of the British government, is going to give him a test!

But why!

Compared with Song Mo, he comes from a humble background and has a great reputation, so he has nothing to do with this noble man, so how could he keep staring at him?

Song Yan was full of confusion.

Seeing Song Mo staring at him intently, he said with a smile: "The principle of self-cultivation in "The Doctrine of the Mean" should not be used by those who practice politics."

Song Yan didn't understand what Song Mo meant for a while, and it took him a while to realize that Song Mo was starting an art chapter under the title of "Knowledge to Cultivate One's Body, Close the Next Festival".

But what is he doing looking at himself?

Song Yan whispered in his heart.

Song Mo looked at him but smiled silently.

Song Yan suddenly realized.

Song Mo, this is for him to continue to make a fuss!

He couldn't help being dumbfounded.

Song Mo slowly picked up the teacup, took a sip lightly, and praised: "It's really good tea!"

The Dou family entertained them today with Jiangxi Shuangjing green tea.

Song Yan couldn't help sweating on his forehead, and looked towards Song Yumin as if asking for help.

The Dou brothers and Song Yumin came to their senses, and Dou Dechang was about to save the scene. Who knew that Song Mo had already smiled and asked Song Yumin, "Where is Mr. Song staying?"

Song Yumin couldn't figure out Song Mo's intentions, so he said vaguely, "At a friend's house?"

Song Mo asked, "Is it the east of the city or the west of the city? Which workshop?"

Song Yumin frowned almost invisibly.

Such the eldest son of the British government, he has heard many people mention it these days in the capital, not to mention his prominent background, and his tactics and strategies should not be underestimated.He is just a little scholar, so naturally he avoids when he can, and endures when he can.

"It's in Sitiao Hutong in Chong'an Square in the west of the city." Song Yumin said, "Live at a friend's house!"

Song Mo smiled and nodded, his eyes fell on Song Yan again, as if urging him to hurry up and accept the question.

Fortunately, Song Yan's skills are not good, and he planned to end up with his uncle when he returned to his hometown. In the past two years, he has been focusing on art production, so he took a deep breath.After calming down, he pondered for about half a stick of incense, and said: "As the classics of politics, there is an order of its own. What's more, the body must be cultivated. "The Doctrine of the Mean" is here, and the government should be based on the body. And oneself It is also for politics." Although the tone is a little hesitant, the chapter is smooth and natural, coherent.

The most important thing for this question is to connect the sentences before and after.What's more, Song Mo broke the title, and Song Yan inherited the title.

The eyes of everyone in the room lit up.

Song Yan couldn't help secretly heaving a sigh of relief, he felt a little more confident, and continued: "Is it a single idea? Zi Si recounted Confucius' answer to Ai Gong's question about politics and this, saying that a husband's government is inherent in self-cultivation. The principle of my body. That is to say, The principles of human beings, sincerity is the reason for self-cultivation, morality, morality, and conduct...The principles of one person are the principles of ten thousand people...However, the state of the world cannot be ruled. There are nine ways that its governance will be constant..."

Someone outside the flower hall suddenly clapped their hands: "What a 'the truth of one person is the truth of ten thousand people'!"

Everyone followed the prestige, and saw Dou Shiying, who was wearing court clothes, walking in with a smile.

"Wan Li, I didn't expect your knowledge to be so solid!"

Everyone got up and greeted Dou Shiying.The host and guest sat down again.

Dou Shiying smiled and said, "How did you start making art?"

Song Yumin and the others' eyes fell on Song Mo.

Song Mo didn't seem surprised, and said with a smile: "I'm not busy. I just chatted for a few words."

As a scholar, Dou Shiying naturally hoped that Song Mo would also be good at learning. Hearing this, he immediately became interested and asked what was going on.

Dou Zhengchang hurriedly told what happened, which aroused Dou Shiying's heart itch, and discussed making art badges with Song Yumin.

Song Mo found an excuse and found Dou Zhao: "What did aunt say?"

"It's done!" Dou Zhao showed a victorious expression, "As long as the Song family has the same intention, the marriage can be settled."

"I'm afraid there are some troubles with the Song family." Song Mo told Dou Zhao about Song Yan's school entrance examination, "Since he has such good knowledge, he must take the imperial examination to become an official. I'm afraid he won't agree to marry .”

Dou Zhao opened his mouth wide, and said awkwardly, "No wonder uncle and aunt have been busy all these years and haven't found a suitable husband-in-law for my cousin."

"However, it's not impossible." Song Mo made a decision, but he was much more tenacious than Dou Zhao. He pondered, "I've found out where Song Yumin lives, and I'll visit Song Yumin personally later. Min, it is bound to make him agree to this marriage. Since Song Qianli grew up eating a lot of food and has been favored by Song Yumin, if Song Yumin agrees, can he not agree?"

"Then how are you going to get Mr. Song to agree?" In Dou Zhao's impression, although Mr. Song is gentle, he is not a good old man without his own opinions.

"Human beings have weaknesses." Song Mo said, "I'm running out of time, so I'll get in touch with him first."

That's all there is to it.

Dou Zhao was a little frustrated.

She failed to be a matchmaker twice in a row, and she really didn't have the potential to be a matchmaker. After finding a good husband for cousin Zhangru, she would never care about such things again.

One of the two returned to the backyard, and the other returned to the flower hall.

After lunch, Song Yumin and Song Yan bid farewell.

After a stick of incense, Song Mo and Dou Zhao also left Jing'an Temple Hutong.

Dou Dechang pestered Dou Shiying: "Seventh Uncle, 'knowing how to cultivate one's morality, keep up with the festival', is that the question you asked the fourth brother-in-law?"

"I don't have one!" Dou Shiying wondered, "Could it be Mr. Song's question?"

How dare he ask Song Mo such a difficult question, if Song Mo can't answer it, won't it destroy their Weng-in-law's relationship?

Dou Zhengchang and Dou Dechang couldn't help looking at each other.

Dou Shiying was in a hurry: "What's going on? Tell me quickly!"
