Idle courtiers

Chapter 300 Zhang Juzheng

At home, Xun Fangyu was overjoyed to see her husband come back suddenly. Without caring about her body, she hurriedly took the cloak that Zhou Nan had untied, and handed it to Mrs. An, who was waiting at the side.

Said: "Why did Xianggong come back suddenly, and he didn't ask someone to bring a letter first."

Zhou Nan: "How far is it from Baigezhuang to here? What letter do you bring? Besides, master, I am alone now. I don't love my grandma, I don't love my uncle, and I don't have anyone to help me."

Hearing something in his words, Xun Fang asked, "What's wrong, Mr. Xiang?"

Zhou Nan: "There is bad news, and there is no good news. Master, my military ambassador was dismissed by his boss, and now he is still working as an errand in the pedestrian department."

Xun Fang said: "This is a good thing. Master, you are an official in Baigezhuang. No one takes care of food and daily life, and my concubine is also worried."

Zhou Nan: "It's just that the entry is less."

Xun Fang said: "I am lucky if I get it, but my life is lost."

"You are free and easy. To be honest, my master, I was dismissed just now. I may not be a little disappointed. I didn't expect to ask my wife to explain it today. I didn't sleep well last night. Let me stare for a while." Zhou Nan kicked off his shoes, Get on the kang, close your eyes.

Xun Fangyu covered him with a quilt lovingly, and ordered his servants to heat up the kang.

Zhou Nan closed his eyes and said, "Ask someone to clean up the study. A friend will visit at night. Don't be rude."

Xun Fang said: "Who is coming, Master Zhu Congba? Or Master Wang Ruoxu?"

Zhou Nan: "It's not Lord Wang. Zhu Cong has gone back to Datong, and he won't be able to return to Beijing until the Chinese New Year. This friend who is visiting tonight is a scholar of the Imperial Academy, Prince Zuo Chunfang Zhang Shuda."

Both Xun Fangyu and Mrs. An were stunned. The two of them came from wealthy gentry families, so they still have some insight into this.Naturally, he knows what a good man is, but he is a reserve of high-ranking officials at the ministry level.As for Prince Zuo Chunfang's left and right concubines, they are the future emperor's subordinates who rushed directly to join the cabinet.

Unexpectedly, my master could let such a person visit late at night, it's amazing, amazing!

Zhou Nan suddenly remembered something, and said: "By the way, ask someone to take the banner written by Tang Gong and Beizhen Fusi Zhu Zhenfu on the wall of the study house and replace it with my master's calligraphy."

Xun Fang said: "Okay, which pair should I change?"

Zhou Nan: "Let's change to Xingjian, a gentleman's self-improvement!"

To put it bluntly, the two articles written by Tang Shunzhi and Zhu Zhenfu were using tiger skin as a banner to frighten the uninformed.To be honest, the words of these two gentlemen are really rough and have no artistic value.It would be ridiculous for a shrewd person like Zhang Juzheng to see it.

On the contrary, Zhou Nan's handwriting is very good, and he is usually proud of it.Occasionally, there are excellent works, so they are framed and placed in the study room, and now they can finally be put to use.

Zhou Nan was so tired that he fell asleep shortly after he finished speaking.In the haze, he thought in his heart: Will Zhang Juzheng come, there will be no accidents, right?This kind of extraordinary behavior cannot be judged by common sense.

Sleeping until dark, Xun Fangyu put a small table on the kang, asked his servants to spread the dishes, and gently patted Zhou Nan awake, saying that it was time for dinner.

Zhou Nan only ate a few chopsticks of mutton and stopped using chopsticks.

Seeing Xun Fangyu's worried expression, Zhou Nan explained that he was too full and sleepy.

If the spirit is sluggish later, I'm afraid it will be bad food.

Yes, Zhou Nan found that as soon as she turned 28, her metabolic rate began to slow down.If you eat too much, you have to doze off.Chinese people's eating habits are mainly based on starchy foods such as rice and pasta.Starch foods will be converted into sugar after being eaten into the stomach. When the blood sugar concentration is high, people will feel sleepy.Moreover, as you get older, blood sugar cannot be converted into calories to be consumed, and it will become fat to make you fat.

This is also the main reason why China is a high-incidence area for diabetes.

Eating makes people fat, let's eat more meat in the future!

After dinner, Zhou Nan tidied up his clothes and went to the study. He took a volume of books and chanted softly: "The benevolent is a human being. Kissing is the greatest. The righteous is righteous. Respecting the virtuous is the greatest. Dear dear, Respecting the virtuous and the like is born of rites.”

"...If you don't get the lower position, you can rule the people if you can't get it. If you get the right way, you don't believe it..."

For a while, the yard was filled with the sound of reading aloud.

In the study room, there is the fragrance of tea overflowing, and the fragrance mist is dense, which is indescribably elegant.

At this moment, Zhou Nan is wearing a Confucian robe and holding a volume of "The Doctrine of the Mean". Under the light, he is personable and full of pretense.

The bookstore has been cleaned long ago, and unnecessary things have been removed.There was only a shelf of books, a long table, a small red clay stove, and a guqin, and it suddenly seemed much more spacious.

Zhou Nan’s layout of the bookstore is based on the furnishings of the Ming Dynasty that he saw in the Suzhou Museum back then. The ancients’ aesthetics paid attention to leaving blank space, and the furniture should not be too much, just like a Chinese painting, which should be in line with Zhang Juzheng’s taste.

Zhou Nan felt slightly regretful, knowing that he should have learned guqin earlier.As soon as Zhang Taiyue arrives, he will wave the five strings himself, and Lao Zhang will sing "The Towering Mountain" and then "Murmur, Flowing Water" and it will all come alive.

It's a pity that it's too late to sharpen the gun now.

Everything is ready, only Dongfeng is owed, will Zhang Juzheng come?

If he doesn't come, wouldn't I be busy in vain, and I will inevitably be laughed at by Xun Fangyu, so that Fu Gang will be depressed!After reading for a long time, Zhou Nan felt his mouth was dry and his heart was pounding.

At this time, a clear voice suddenly came from outside: "One family is benevolent, one country prospers benevolence and righteousness; one family yields, one country prospers; one person is greedy, and one country creates chaos. The reason for this is that a word of indignation , One person decides the country. What's the explanation?"

Hearing this, Zhou Nan turned his head to look, but saw a young middle-aged man standing in the courtyard.

This man was tall and long-armed, with a handsome face, and the long sleeves of his robe fluttered slightly in the night wind, with an indescribable sense of being out of the world, like a hermit who had attained the Tao, a fairy-like figure.

No, his eyes are as sharp as a sword. Being stared at by him, there is a feeling of being seen through.

If the guess is correct, this person should be Zhang Juzheng.Zhou Nan had already ordered his servants to wait at the door. If the person who came was surnamed Zhang, there was no need to inform him, and he would be brought directly to the study.Otherwise, I'm pretending to be a force for nothing.

The sentence Zhang Juzheng asked just now came from "University", and Zhou Nan happened to read this passage aloud.The general idea is: if the ruler's family practices benevolence, a country will also develop benevolence; if the monarch's family practices humility, the country will also develop humility;This is the key to an intellectual country, that is, the king can defeat the country with one sentence, and the country can be stabilized by one person.

The future Zhang Shoufu came to see Zhou Nan tonight, apparently for the sake of King Jing's seizure of his heir.This question was also tricky. On the surface, it was to test Zhou Nan's knowledge. He kept saying that the benevolence of the king's family might not have reprimanded Mr. Zhou for alienating the Tian family.

This is not a small crime. If one fails to deal with it properly, and if Lao Zhang comes to go online, Zhou Xingren will be overwhelmed and walk around.
