Peerless Pirates

Song Zheng returned home and took out the paper bag he got from Xiaolian. Inside were four or five half-dried colorful mushrooms. At noon, he took one and asked Xiaoping quietly, and Xiaoping quickly took it

Throw it on the ground and crush it with your feet. She told Song Zheng that this kind of small mushroom is called "poisonous cow", which means that cows will be poisoned to death if they eat it. Xiaoping also asked Song Zheng where he got it.

Zheng said that when he went up the mountain to exercise, he saw this kind of small mushroom, which was very beautiful, so he took it back to play with. Xiaoping quickly warned Song Zheng not to play with this, otherwise he would be in trouble if he accidentally ate it.

Song Zheng put these little mushrooms and the jade pendant under the bed. This is evidence of Xiaolian's crime. When Mr. Song recovers, he can take it out to testify against Xiaolian. The book he took from the money cabinet

In the prize, Song Zheng also put a poisonous mushroom in it to warn Qian Youcai. Originally, Song Zheng wanted to write a note, which said: This time, your grandson will be made into a cripple. If you do anything again

Wrong idea, I will kill your whole family. However, he thought about it and still did not put the note in. If he put it in, it would be equivalent to leaving "criminal" evidence. How can that be done? The money in the cabinet was confiscated, but

it a accident"!

When the medicine was boiling in the evening, Song Zheng still stared at it, fearing that Xiaolian would do something bad again. He also smiled strangely at Xiaolian, which shocked her. When he added water to the medicine pot, his hands trembled.

Worried that Xiaolian would go out again at night, Song Zheng kept paying attention to the movements in the east courtyard. Sure enough, a cat meowed again outside the east courtyard. However, Xiaolian did not dare to go out again, not even the door of the house. Song Zheng

Picking up half a brick from the yard, he quietly sneaked to the east yard, and threw it out after hearing the sound of a cat meowing. A low ouch sound came from outside the yard, and Song Zheng couldn't help but feel a flash of joy in his heart. After a while, someone outside

The sound of footsteps faded away in a hurry.

Because he was waiting for Mr. Song to recover from his illness, on the morning of August 20th, Song Zheng did not dare to practice boxing on the big rocks in the Western Mountains. Instead, he just ran to the foot of the Western Mountains and was about to run back, but Song Yu called him

He stayed and asked about Mr. Song's condition. Song Zheng knew that sending moon cakes in the guise of the old man had already alleviated Song Yu's resentment towards the old man a lot. After all, they were connected by blood, and Song Yu did not let go of the old man in his heart.

Zheng told the Brokeback Third Uncle that although Mr. Song was ill, it was not serious and he would recover soon. After hearing this, Song Yu breathed a sigh of relief, said "That's good", and then waved Song Zheng back.

.

After breakfast, a middle-aged man wearing a long gown and two gentlemen rode to Songjiazhuang. He met Song Xiaosi who was about to work in the fields and asked, "Is Song Jinshi's family in this village?"

When Song Xiaosi saw that the other party was bringing his father-in-law, he quickly replied: "It's in this village. Song Jinshi is the eldest young master of our family."

The man said: "Lead the way." Song Xiaosi quickly led the three people to the front of Song's house. After the three people dismounted, they handed the reins to Song Xiaosi's hands and walked into Song's house.

When Xiaolian saw the gentleman in the yard, she jumped up in fright and hurriedly entered the house. When Wu came out, the man in a long gown said, "Excuse me, is Scholar Song at home?" Wu said hurriedly: "He has gone to the clan.

Xue, who are you?"

The man said: "I am an official from Mizhou. I have been ordered by Mr. Hu from Zhizhou to pay a visit to Academician Song. I have important matters to discuss." Mrs. Wu let the three of them go to the main room and asked Xiaolian to make tea. Xiaolian

Hearing that it was Song Jue, he breathed a sigh of relief and quickly served the tea. Wu went to the west courtyard again and sent Xiaoping to call Song Jue. Song Zheng was very surprised when he heard that someone from the government was here. In his

In my memory, Song Jue had almost no interactions with outsiders. The only two times he was said to be were classmates of Song Jue. He came to visit him and took away some of Song Jue's writings, saying that he wanted to read them. This time, he suddenly came to the government office.

The middle man is really surprising.

Song Jue came back from clan studies and went straight to the east courtyard. Song Zheng hurriedly went to the back room of the east courtyard on the pretext of seeing his grandfather and eavesdropped on what was going on outside. He only heard the man outside say: "Scholar Song, I am recommending an official in Xia Mizhou. My surname is Yu Mingyuan, and my courtesy name is Zhengping. On the orders of Lord Hu, the magistrate of the province, I specially appointed a scholar from the Song Dynasty to teach in the Academy of Arts. I wonder what Brother Song wants?"

Song Jue's voice was a little surprised: "Since I resigned in the sixth year of Dading, I have been living in seclusion in the countryside, teaching and writing books. I wonder where Master Hu heard my name? Why did he hire me as a teacher?"

Yu Yuandao: "Although Brother Song has been living in seclusion here, his reputation has spread all over the world. Brother Song, may I ask, is the book "Neo-Confucian Justice" written by Brother Song?"

Song Jue said: "This is my humble work. Four years ago, a classmate of that year came to my office and asked him to correct me, but there has been no news."

Yu Yuan explained: "I don't know the specific situation. However, the book "Neo-Confucian Justice" has been printed and circulated. It is said that this book also has a great reputation in Jiangning, the capital. After seeing this book, Master Hu, the prefect, was very moved. I am very happy. Although the words "Xishan Song Jue" are written in the book, Mr. Hu does not know where Brother Song lives and cannot come to visit, which has always been a pity. Recently, Mr. Hu learned that Brother Song actually lived in Songjiazhuang, Ju County. He immediately I was about to come for a visit, but I was busy with official duties, so I had no choice but to send my Excellency to invite you to take up a teaching position in the Academy of Liberal Arts to promote Neo-Confucianism."

"Is this happening? I haven't heard anything about it." Song Jue smiled awkwardly, and then said: "The little fame made Mr. Hu and Brother Yu laugh."

Yu Yuandao: "Before coming, Mr. Hu told me that I must invite Brother Song, and Mr. Hu will come to greet you. Mr. Hu also said that I would like to ask Brother Song to stay in the position of teaching for a while, and wait for the time when you can change your mind and go to the front." Please order me to let Brother Song serve as deputy teaching director or teaching director."

Song Zheng was surprised in the back room. He had been reading for a while and had a certain understanding of Daqi's official system. The salary of the teaching director of each state's liberal arts academy was equivalent to that of the chief historian of a state (deputy governor of the state), while the salary of the deputy teaching staff was It is equivalent to the county magistrate of a county, and ordinary teaching is equivalent to the chief registrar of a county. Although the teaching position in the liberal arts college has no real power, it is also based on rank. Once this cheap dad goes to the liberal arts college, he is equivalent to the deputy director level. Cadres will soon be promoted to full rank, or even deputy director. People in this era are pretty good at keeping their promises. Now that Yu Yuan has spoken out about this matter, the magistrate Hu will definitely try his best to promote the promotion of the cheap dad. of.

Song Zheng thought in his heart, this cheap dad had some shitty luck to be valued by his superiors, and was promoted without even organizing an inspection. At least it should be publicized and give everyone a chance to report. In fact, Song Zheng didn't know that it was not that easy to become a teacher in a liberal arts academy, because in the liberal arts academy of the Qi Dynasty, every appointment of a teacher had to be recommended by the head teacher or deputy head teacher, and voted by other teachers, and finally by the president of a state. Approved by the superior. Of course, if you are an "airborne cadre", you are not included in this list. You can be directly appointed by the governor. Song Jue is not an "airborne cadre", but he can serve in the Academy of Arts. This shows that Mr. Hu has great regard for the Academy of Arts. The control is pretty good.

At this time, I heard Song Jue say outside: "It is my wish to be able to serve as a teacher in the liberal arts college and promote Neo-Confucianism, so I should not resign. However, my father is seriously ill and I need to serve him, so I have to let Brother Li down." "That's true. Song Jue wanted to serve the old man yesterday and not go to the clan school. But the old man didn't want to let him serve him and kicked him out. Song Jue had to go to the clan school honestly.

"It turns out that Mr. Song is ill. I didn't know it. Please forgive me, Brother Song. In this case, I don't dare to delay Brother Song from fulfilling his filial piety." Yu Yuan pondered for a while, and then said: "I'll keep the letter of appointment until Song.

Once the master recovers, please ask Brother Song to go to Mizhou. Mr. Hu is very thirsty for talents, and I hope Brother Song will not refuse."

Song Jue finally got a job that suited him, but he didn't want to give up, so he thought about it for a while and said: "In that case, please tell Brother Yu to tell Mr. Hu that he will go to Mizhou as soon as my father recovers from his illness.

"

The business was settled, and then the two of them chatted some gossip. Yu Yuan said that he set off from Mizhou early yesterday morning, came to stay in Shishan Town in the evening, and came to visit early this morning. Yu Yuan also said that there is a great promotion of Neo-Confucianism in the imperial court.

The trend is that the prosperity of Neo-Confucianism is just around the corner. Song Jue was naturally happy after hearing this. Finally, Song Jue said: "Brother Yu, please have some tea." Song Zheng knew that this was a way to send tea away. Sure enough, Yu Yuan was polite.

, led the two gentlemen to say goodbye and left.

What happened in the main room was also heard by Mr. Song who was lying in the back room. As soon as Yu Yuan and others left, Mr. Song called Song Jue in. After all, Mr. Song has a strong physical foundation and his condition is already better than yesterday. He said

: "My illness doesn't matter. You can take your wife and children away tomorrow. Finally, you have a capable job. Don't delay."

Song Zheng was naturally shocked after hearing this. Qian Youcai's old dog was eyeing the Song family. If he left, the old man would have no life. He was so excited that he almost told what happened in the past two days. Fortunately, Song Jue was more

He was filial and insisted on waiting for the old man to recover from his illness before going on the road. Even so, Song Zheng still couldn't leave, so Song Zheng proposed that after the old man recovered from his illness, Song Zheng would fulfill his filial piety for his father and let Song Jue take Zhu's family to Mizhou.

How could Song Jue leave his son at home? He still wanted to train his son to be a great Neo-Confucianist. If he left, considering the extent of the old man's current love for Song Zheng, it would be a betrayal.

Finally, after some bargaining, the three of them agreed that Song Zheng would stay at home for two years and wait until the turn of the summer and autumn when he was thirteen to go to Michigan. At that time, he could directly enter the liberal arts academy. In fact, it is necessary to enter the liberal arts academy.

As for those taking the exam, Song Zheng is the son of a teacher and is exempted from the exam due to special care.

Now that it has been agreed upon, both Song Jue and Song Zheng began to hope that the old man would get well soon. In fact, it was a coincidence that Mr. Song was ill, which disrupted some people's ill-intentioned plans. (Please give me flowers, votes, and votes.)
