Chapter 116
"Do you still want to compete?" Song Zhen sneered.
Before breaking into the gate of Cui's house, Song Zhen did a lot of preparation.
First, he secretly put two letters in the envelope sent to Di Renjie.
One was to Lu Shu, the father of Lu Shishi, and the other was to Wang He.
Then, he begged Li Zhi to help build momentum, and Li Zhi was naturally happy to help. He wished that Song Zhen would make as much trouble as possible.
Then, Song Zhen went to the Dali Temple and secretly investigated the family background of the five branches of the Northern Ancestor.
This branch was a small branch that had just started a new business in the past 20 years. Even if it was completely against it, it was not to be feared at all.
Finally, it was to go deep into the tiger's den.
One day, he met Cui Mengzhen by chance. The other party was very enthusiastic and invited him to Cui's house as a guest.
However, his wife, Zheng from Xingyang, found out and secretly reported to the elders of the clan.
Song Zhen was driven out.
Yes, he was really driven out of the house.
The guards of the Qinghe Cui family clearly had the words written on their faces: [No poor family or dog allowed to enter! ]
If the love of his life had not been born in the Qinghe Cui family, Song Zhen would have wanted to turn hostile and fight.
You are amazing, you are noble.
Damn it.
Not all the five surnames and seven families are like the Taiyuan Wang family. They can't be said to be warm and hospitable, but at least they are polite and don't chase people out.
Cui Mengzhen felt particularly guilty about this, and waited for a long time in Yan's mansion the next day to apologize.
Cui Mengzhen was stunned to learn that the person Song Zhen liked was actually his cousin.
He thought of his sad past, so he advised as a person who had experienced it.
"Shouzheng, don't learn from me. You must be strong! The more cautious you are, the more they will push you!"
"What the hell are the five surnames and seven families! They are just relying on the blessings of their ancestors, so they are very scared now, afraid that one day, the supreme halo above their heads will fall off, and they can only tie the major families to the same boat."
"Born in these families, your future partner is destined to be who you are from the moment you are born! No matter who the other person is, whether he is talentless or immoral, the happiness of their children in the second half of their lives has nothing to do with them. They only have family interests in their eyes!"
Song Zhen was silent.
Later, more and more Qinghe Cui's children gave him advice. They were all people who had been hurt by this corrupt system.
So, they really hoped that Song Zhen could break this deadlock. What they couldn't do, they had to let others do it.
As the saying goes, barefoot is not afraid of those wearing shoes.
The biggest difference between them and Song Zhen is that they have long been accustomed to wearing black leather Liuhe boots and can't take them off.
......
Lu Wei was so shocked that he doubted his life. If it were anyone else, he would not be so embarrassed.
He blushed and defended himself: "These are all crooked ways. What if you are proficient in music theory? Can you pass the imperial examination? If we want to compare, let's compare poetry and songs."
He couldn't compare with anything, so he could only speak derogatorily.
In one word, 6!
Song Zhen couldn't help laughing. He really didn't expect Lu Wei to say such a thing.
"Look, everyone. This is the good son of the Five Surnames and Seven Famous Families. This is the elite talent educated by the Fanyang Lu family."
"To be honest, this is the first time I have seen a scholar who regards the six arts of a gentleman as a crooked way."
"Tsk tsk, it is really hard to imagine that the person who can say such a thing is actually the son of the most famous Five Surnames and Seven Famous Families in the Tang Dynasty?"
"As the saying goes, if a child is not taught, it is the fault of the father. If a child is not taught strictly, it is the laziness of the teacher. If a child does not learn, it is not appropriate. If he does not learn when he is young, what will he do when he grows old?"
"Shameful, really, I feel ashamed for you, the fifth branch of the Northern Ancestor. If I were you, I would directly kick Lu Wei, the rebellious son, out of the family tree."
Because the commotion here was too loud, other people from the Qinghe Cui family came over after hearing the noise.
More and more people gathered around, and the people from the fifth branch of the Northern Ancestor of the Fanyang Lu family felt ashamed.
The old man in the lead stood up and shouted, "How dare you insult the Five Surnames and Seven Families? Who do you think you are? You are a lowly child from a poor family. You think you can touch the Five Surnames and Seven Families?"
When the other members of the Fanyang Lu family saw the elders come out, they followed one after another.
"Yes, so what if you can play the piano well? Can you be an official in the court?"
"Since the imperial examination came out, the so-called six arts of a gentleman have long been abandoned by scholars. Only you are so pedantic that you will not let go."
"You think you have a skill and dare to question the strongest aristocratic family in the Tang Dynasty. You really don't know how high the sky is and how deep the earth is."
"Putting aside the facts, do you think it is useful to learn the six arts of a gentleman now?"
No wonder some people in later generations commented that "a scholar is useless", so the root cause is here?
......
Looking at the members of the Fanyang Lu family who are stubborn, to be honest, everyone in the Qinghe Cui family feels ashamed for them.
It's really a case of the upper beam being crooked and the lower beam being crooked.Did Song Zhen say anything wrong?
No.
And he said it very well! The Three Character Classic appeared in the Southern Song Dynasty, and it was the first time that people in the Tang Dynasty heard it.
Even if the years pass by, you can't easily forget the precious ancestral teachings left to us by our ancestors.
What are the six arts of a gentleman? Why did our ancestors set the six arts of a gentleman?
Isn't it because they hope that young people can be both civil and military, and seek both knowledge and ability?
Oh, in the mouths of you Fanyang Lu family, learning the six arts of a gentleman has become a matter of being ignorant and incompetent?
Oh, just because there is no imperial examination, there is no need to learn, right?
Oh, you read and learn to read just to take the imperial examination?
Well, how many high-ranking officials have come out of your Beizu Wufang?
The children of the Beizu Wufang were talking to each other, and they were very excited, especially when they saw that Song Zhen did not refute, they shouted even more vigorously.
So...
The children of the major families next door stopped to watch curiously.
As the second imperial capital, Luoyang City would naturally arrange for the clansmen to be stationed here, whether it was to show their status or to facilitate business.
The most important reason was that the housing prices were too high, and only the super nobles could afford it.
In addition to the other five surnames and seven families.
The Yang family of Hongnong joined the live broadcast room.
The Wei family of Jingzhao joined the live broadcast room.
The Zhang family of Nanyang joined the live broadcast room.
The Liu family of Pengcheng joined the live broadcast room.
......
Cui Qiuhua felt so embarrassed that the five surnames and seven families actually cursed in public with a poor junior?
Where is the demeanor? Where is the integrity? Where is the quality?
Please, can you be more rational?
He hurriedly urged the family guards to close the door, and the family's disgrace should not be made public.
But he never expected, close the door? There was no way to stop the enthusiastic crowd. They climbed up the wall one by one, showing their heads, and could not be driven away.
"You two, I beg you, if you want to quarrel, go somewhere else, okay?"
"No!" This time, it was the elder of the fifth branch of the Northern Ancestor who spoke. Perhaps he felt that he had offended Cui Qiuhua, and hurriedly explained, "I didn't mean to offend him. It's mainly because this kid is too arrogant and doesn't know what he means! Today, I, Fanyang Lu, must make him look good!"
Song Zhen spread his hands helplessly: "Old Cui, you also saw it. It's not my problem. They are unwilling to let me go."
Cui Qiuhua glared at him. As for what you said just now, fortunately it was not directed at our Qinghe Cui family, otherwise I would not let you go!
The elder of the fifth branch of the Northern Ancestor stood with his hands behind his back, looked up and looked directly at Song Zhen, and asked: "Boy, do you dare to challenge?"
"Oh, why not?" Song Zhen laughed. You really hit a wall. Comparing poems? Sorry, I have never lost.
Whether in the past life or in this life.
Not only have I memorized thousands of Tang poems, Song lyrics and Yuan opera since I was a child, I can also write lyrics and poems by myself. I scored 141 points in Chinese in the college entrance examination that year. Do you think I am bragging?
If it weren't for the fact that my English score was only 34 points, I almost debuted as an art student and became the city's top scholar.
Song Zhen pointed to the ground and laughed: "In ancient times, Cao Zhi wrote a poem in seven steps. Today, I will challenge him to write a poem in three steps. If I can't do it, I lose. How about it?"
Usually, those who compete in writing poems and essays must determine a theme, and the theme of this time is to recite a poem in a short time to see who can think of a way out of a hurry.
Arrogant! It's really too arrogant! It can no longer be described as arrogant.
Everyone present, including the onlookers, couldn't stand it.
This is simply not taking Fanyang Lu seriously.
"Awei, what about you?"
......
