The Bookish Scholar of the Red Mansion

Hearing his wife's complaint, Chen Heng pretended to smile. During this period of time, he had thought about going to the Lin Mansion to thank his senior. But I was worried that I was too reckless, so I thought about it again and again and finally didn’t go.

Fortunately, Wang Xianming knew how to deal with the old lady and said with a smile: I just said that Heng'er's temperament is like mine and he doesn't like to cause trouble to others.

You're pedantic. Mrs. Liu glared at him angrily.

Good guy, seeing that his mentor was about to be scolded, Chen Heng hurriedly took out a gift to save the situation, Master's wife, 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, but my wife's comb only has two elegant autumn chrysanthemums.

Mrs. Liu liked it as soon as she opened it and said happily to her child: My wife likes it very much. Heng'er is interested.

Wang Xianming blinked aside, holding the teacup and neither drinking nor speaking. Chen Heng didn't let the other party wait any longer. He grinned at him and said, Master, I copied some books for you.

The two books Chen Heng copied are called Four Trainings of Liao Fan and Entering Shu. The former was found in the academy and was written by the former Mr. Yuan Huang. Mr. Liao Fan's life was very legendary, and Chen Heng often read it. Resonance, love it very much.

The latter book was borrowed from Xue Biao and was a travel note written down by Mr. Lu You of the Song Dynasty.

The writing in this book is simple, and the best thing is that reading it feels like being there in person.

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

In ancient times, limited by the spread of books, many unique copies 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 mountain chief's comments. Wang Xianming couldn't help but nodded and explained Pei Huaizhen's intention to Chen Heng.

Heng'er, do you know the three realms of making a fuss?

Hearing that Master wanted to teach him, Chen Heng hurriedly sat up straight and said, Master, please make it clear.

You have broken through the first level. Your previous summary was very good, and I often use it to teach people in the school. Wang Xianming has lived to this age, and he still has experience. I heard my father-in-law say once, The next level is to read thousands of books and travel thousands of miles. Do you know why?

do you mean this? Chen Heng was suddenly enlightened and blurted out: What you see on paper will eventually make you realize it, but you will definitely know that this matter must be done in detail.

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

Books need to be read, but also used. How to use them, and your experience after using them. This experience of moving from fiction to reality, and from reality to chapter, cannot be achieved without a little bit of accumulation.

After you go back, you have to start learning to write policy essays. This is the difficulty of it. How to write an article that convinces the examiner, praises the officials, and allows His Majesty and the people to agree is your next direction.

The knowledge here is very deep, and I can't explain it even as a teacher. I just think your method is very good, and you can stick to it all the time. You must know that there is no end to learning, and there will still be a lingering fragrance after reading a hundred times.

Feeling Wang Xianming's deep expectation, Chen Heng immediately stood up and saluted, Disciple understands.

Okay, okay, you have to read a book, and you can't keep screwing me. Mrs. Liu came out and changed the subject, Heng'er just came back today, and Heng'er went to play first.

Chen Heng smiled, chatted with the two elders for a while, and invited his wife and wife to come to his home to celebrate the Mid-Autumn Festival together in two days. This was an invitation from his disciple, and Wang Xianming did not refuse, not to mention that he and Chen Gaishan were still childhood friends.

After leaving his wife's house, Chen Heng spent a few days enjoying himself at home.

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

These are all trivial things, but they are better because they are warm and natural. Just listening to his grandfather Chen Gaishan's angry tone made Chen Heng happy enough.

However, through his grandfather's daily narration, Chen Heng learned something he didn't know.

After the second uncle was sentenced to do corvée, the county sent people over. Tell their families that they can pay less taxes in the next few years as appropriate.

Over time, the pressure on Lao Chen's family from farming and harvesting became much less.

That night, Chen Heng returned to his room. He is now familiar with the Dayong Code and has judged several cases in the academy.

Now looking back at the incident involving his second uncle, he suddenly understood a lot.

If he is punished for the crime of defrauding others of money, the second uncle should be punished with a rod of seventy and return the proceeds. But there happened to be a human life involved. According to the crime of murder, regardless of the leader or subordinate, the successful person would be beheaded and abandoned. Those who have not yet achieved it will have a hundred sticks and a flow of three thousand miles.

Wang Sheng had a fierce temperament and was killed in court, leaving behind the sentence You guys are working together to harm me. Even though there was no murder in this case, it was actually murder.

Xu County Magistrate only beat Chen Huaijin twenty times, fined him fifty silver, and returned the proceeds. This is to take the second uncle out alone and punish him for the crime of defrauding people of money.

After another five years of hard labor, the second uncle's name was erased from the case. It was to prevent him from affecting his, Shuangxi's, and future imperial examination path.

What a delicate thinking method. Compare it with this Magistrate Xu, and then think about the cases he judged in the academy.

No wonder those classmates would jokingly call him: Iron-faced Judge and Blood-Handed Human Massacre.

Hey, Chen Heng shook his head silently and warned himself: It is better to follow the script.

As a parent and official, one should take the law as the basis and reason as the root.

Thinking about what the county magistrate said at that time, Chen Heng took up his pen and wrote on the paper: All his heart and every thought are for enlightenment, and his words and deeds are only for correction.

Maybe the person County Magistrate Xu wants to teach is not only his second uncle, but also himself.

That night, with this realization, Chen Heng took out Dayong Law and read it all night long, and actually gained 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 celebrates the Mid-Autumn Festival in advance. Although the moon is not full this night, it is enough for family reunion.

Grandpa and Master drank a lot. Chen Qi only sat there for a while and then went for a moonlit walk with his mother. Chen Heng played charades with his two sisters. Shuangxi was the most out of control, and kept going back and forth in the arms of Mrs. Zhou and Mrs. Liu.

Only the second aunt smiled a little reluctantly because the second uncle was not there.

The next day, Chen Heng was going to Yangzhou, and this time he was accompanied by his wife and his wife. Of course the Zhou family and the Gu family were reluctant to part with their children, but they also knew that this was a process that every scholar had to go through, so they could only prepare things overnight for Chen Heng to take away.

Farewell to the peaceful mountain village, the carriage swayed forward.

Wang Xianming took advantage of this time to mention some matters for Chen Heng's visit.

This younger brother of your wife serves as the salt inspector in Yangzhou and was a high school prospect. His character and knowledge are both top-notch in the world. You must not be rude in front of him. You must remember...

Chen Heng couldn't help but nod his head as he listened to the instruction.

Mrs. Liu, however, felt very irritated and interrupted with a wave of her hand: Heng'er, don't listen to your wife's nonsense. We used to be relatives. When you see my brother, just call him uncle. How can there be so many rules? Heng'er makes him feel reserved and uncomfortable, so I might as well let him be happy in the academy.

Wang Xianming didn't dare to talk back, so he had no choice but to say aggrievedly: I know, I know, I will listen to you, but you are Ruhai's sister.

The third flower? Like the sea? Chen Heng couldn't help but frown.

Suddenly he remembered the door sticker that was still placed in the academy. It seemed to have the character 林 written on it.

Chen Heng raised his eyebrows suddenly and asked urgently: Master's wife, what is his daughter's name?

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

Like a thunderbolt hitting his mind, Chen Heng opened his mouth for the first time in his life and felt that he couldn't say even a single word.

I……

You kid, why are you so scared?

Ms. Liu didn't understand, so she just chuckled.

The chapter tonight will be late, I need to write it a few more times. Polished and polished repeatedly, hahahahahaha.

You are a bit exaggerated. You have sold out more than 300 monthly tickets at once, which makes me feel incredible. Okay, I owe you four chapters now.
