Chapter 115(1/2)
Archer had been in the local area for six years. Before Zhou Yuanfang was about to transfer his brother-in-law back to the capital to reuse, Chen Fu, the chief minister of the cabinet, wrote a letter to resign from the position of chief minister.
Zhou Yuanfang was approved and promoted to Yang Zhao as the chief assistant, and Chen Fu was appointed as the Imperial College Supervisor, and his official position was as the third rank.
The Imperial College is the highest institution of education established by the imperial court. Most of the students are children of nobles such as the Duke and the Marquis' Mansions, as well as outstanding students recommended by the local government.
There are so many leisurely chores, so Chen Fu chose the Imperial College for his own arrangements.
Archer looked at his nine-year-old son Liujin and immediately guessed Chen Fu's intention.
If you don’t get his recognition, you want to resign and recognize your grandson? It’s impossible.
As soon as Chen Fu entered the Imperial College, Archer sent his son to the most prestigious academy in the capital, Wuyatang.
The dean of Wuyatang was Zhuang Jun, a great scholar in the contemporary era. Zhuang Jun was a man with great knowledge and knowledge. He was the example of scholars all over the world. He had many students and was full of students. The late emperor had invited Zhuang Jun to the court to become an official, but Zhuang Jun refused, saying that he could only teach and educate people, and could not govern the country as an official. The late emperor could not force it, so he often invited Zhuang Jun to the palace to discuss knowledge.
Wuyatang recruits students more strictly than Imperial College, and Imperial College values the identity of students more. If it is a family of Dukes and Marquis, children can be able to study at Imperial College without learning or ignorance. Wuyatang is different. Every year, the college will set up an admission assessment. Regardless of whether the students are rich or poor, they will be admitted through the assessment. If they pass, they will be children of the royal family. Please go back.
After Zhou Yuanfang ascended the throne, he was appointed as the Duke of his father-in-law Xiao Zhen. There was such a grandfather, and Liu Jin's status was imagined. However, Archer was very good at teaching his son. Liu Jin lived outside with his father for six years, but he did not develop the Ao surname of ordinary high-ranking officials. The nine-year-old boy was handsome and respected his elders. He was humble and outstanding in treating children of the same age.
After passing Wuyatang's three rounds of assessment, Liujin successfully admitted to the school.
Su Jin was so happy that her brother Rui and Brother Sheng had both passed the exam. Unfortunately, the two children were not born to be a good student and were both unfamiliar. For this, she was ridiculed by several wives who had always disliked her. Even Brother Rui and Brother Sheng had shown outstanding martial arts talent since childhood, but it was always embarrassing to not read good books.
Now that my baby grandson is competing, Su Jin keeps praising Liujin with her arms around her, so angry that Brother Rui and Brother Sheng made an appointment to not give her nephew New Year's money next year. Next to Su Jin, five-year-old Afu blinked a pair of phoenix eyes and looked at Liujin, thinking, her eldest nephew is so amazing.
After the family was happy, Liujin went to Wuyatang to study the next day. Xiao Zhen specially ordered two guards to pick up and drop off his grandson.
The guards could only stay outside the academy. After entering the academy, all students were equal and did not tell the origin. If any child wanted to show the prestige of the children of the official family, please leave.
But how can a **-year-old child, especially a boy, be so obedient?
When I learned that Liu Jin's grandfather was a dignified Duke of Zhenguo, some children in the school naturally flattered and pleased Ba Jin, and some children were jealous and disliked Liu Jin no matter how they looked at Liu Jin. Among them, Xu Lang, the third son of Huaien's family, was the head. Lao Huaien's grandfather was Zhou Yuanfang's grandfather. In terms of status, the Xiao family of the descendants and the Xu family of the Empress Dowager's mother, were evenly matched, so Xu Lang was not afraid of Liu Jin.
Liujin's big name is Feng Shen. During the break, Liujin sat under the old locust tree and discussed what he learned in class with his companions. Xu Lang led a few young followers over and deliberately asked Liujin: "Feng Shen, we all know that your grandfather is Lord Xiao, so that's amazing. Why is your grandfather's surname Xiao, but you are Feng?"
Liujin's father explained the matter when he was just sensible, so when his classmates asked, Liujin replied calmly: "My biological grandfather's surname is Feng. After his grandfather died, his grandmother remarried his step-grandfather. My father did not change his surname from me, but was to inherit the Feng family's incense."
Xu Lang wanted to embarrass Liu Jin, but Liu Jin looked indifferent. Xu Lang was unhappy and continued to make things difficult for him: "I heard that your father looks exactly the same as Lord Shen, the Imperial College Priest, do you know?"
Liujin was stunned for a moment. He didn't know about this.
After a brief doubt, Liu Jin said the truth: "I don't know, I have never seen Lord Shen."
The children were talking about themselves, outside the shade of a few trees, Chen Fu looked at his grandson in the distance, and guilt appeared before him again.
The dean Zhuang Jun stood beside him, stroked his gray beard and said, "Yunting, are you sure you are coming here to teach?"
Before today, Chen Fu was sure that because he wanted to get close to his grandson, he went to the Imperial College to teach his grandson one day. Archer sent his grandson to Wuya Hall, and Chen Fu chased him. He and Zhuang Jun were friends for ages, and few people knew that Chen Fu wanted to have a position as a gentleman here, which was easy.
But at this moment, seeing his grandson being ridiculed for him, Chen Fu seemed to see his childhood son Archer. Xiao Zhen is now the Duke of the Kingdom, Liu Jin and his aunt who was the queen. Even so, someone dared to bully Liu Jin. When Su Jin was just a market woman selling buns back then, how much contempt and mocking did Archer experience?
Chen Fu, who was nearly fifty years old, almost ran away in a panic.
Chen Fu never appeared in front of his grandson once, but he often came to Wuyatang secretly and hid in the dark to look at his grandson.
The young boys should learn the six arts, rituals, music, archery, archery, books, and numbers. Six jin are the best in the four subjects of rituals, music, books, and numbers. Only archery and driving are far behind other children. How could their grandson know how to do martial arts? Xiao Zhen taught his grandson himself, but six jin was not good, and his progress was limited.
Xiao Zhen didn't know what to say, but he was so angry that he was so angry that Archer was so handsome and learned to ride a horse and shoot archery very quickly. Why was it his turn to be so stupid? After thinking about it, Xiao Zhen went to drink with Huo Weizhang, and then he left his grandson's stupidity on the blood of the Huo family. Huo Weizhang was so angry that he raised the wine table on the spot, rolled up his sleeves and fought with Xiao Zhen.
Liu Jin could feel his grandfather’s disappointment with his martial arts. After a long time, Liu Jin didn’t want to learn from his grandfather. He cherished his time in the college. During the afternoon, other students took a nap, and Liu Jin secretly ran to the martial arts training ground and stared at the sun to practice archery.
As he practiced, a black shadow suddenly appeared above his head. Liu Jin raised his head strangely and saw a wide paper umbrella first. The man holding the umbrella was about the same age as his grandfather. He was not tall and strong than his grandfather, but was much whiter than his grandfather and looked much better than his grandfather. He had the elegant demeanor of the dean. What shocked Liu Jin the most was that this elegant and handsome uncle looked like his father.
The nine-year-old boy stared at the other person blankly.
Chen Fu smiled and asked, "Do you know who I am?"
Liujin's face changed and he remembered it.
That day, Xu Lang talked about Lord Shen. After returning home, Liu Jin went to ask his mother. Her mother smiled very gently, but she didn't say anything. When her father came back, her father took him to the study and talked about the entanglement between grandmother and Lord Shen.
My father didn't like to abandon my grandmother, and I didn't like Liujin.
"I don't know." The young boy stretched out his face, ran out of his bad grandfather's umbrella, and went to another target to practice arrows.
With childish hatred, six jin aimed at the target and tried his best to shoot an arrow.
The feather arrow flew and flew, and penetrated weakly outside the circle of the target.
Liu Jin was disappointed when he didn't shoot again. Thinking of someone next to him, Liu Jin turned his head quietly, but saw that person laughing!
Liu Jin was even more angry. This grandfather named Chen was indeed very bad!
Just as Liu Jin was about to leave angrily, Chen Fu picked up a bow and shot it at the target used by the adults.
Liu Jin looked at it with a breath of energy and concentration. Seeing that the bad grandfather's arrow was shooting very badly, Liu Jin suddenly laughed, just like other children laughing at him, and laughing at his grandfather's archery skills were not good.
Chen Fu is not coaxing his grandson. His archery skills are really bad. He also experienced the ridicule that his grandson experienced when he was a child.
He put away the arrow, Chen Fu walked to the shade of the tree beside him, sat on the ground, and waved to Liujin.
Liu Jin didn't move in place, looking at the bad grandfather with his little mouth pursed, wanting to know what the bad grandfather called him, but he didn't want to get close to him.
Chen Fu shook the bow in his hand and smiled and said, "I can teach you how to shoot arrows."
Liujin sneered: "You can't even ejaculate yourself, why should you teach me?"
Chen Fu said lightly: "Your grandfather can walk through Yang in a hundred steps, has he taught you well? A good martial arts person may not be a good master. A poor martial arts person may also teach a great hero who stands tall."
Liujin was stunned when he heard this. Although he didn't understand it very much, his bad grandfather seemed to make sense.
After hesitating for a few years, Liujin walked slowly towards Chen Fu.
When the boy walked up to him, Chen Fu couldn't help but pull his eldest grandson into his arms and hugged him in a rare manner. His grandson is nine years old, and this is the first time he hugged his grandfather.
"Let me go!" Liujin didn't like to let outsiders embrace him, especially this person who bullied his grandmother.
"I am your grandfather." Chen Fu said with a smile.
Liujin shouted in anger: "You are not!"
Chen Fu became more and more sure that the child already knew.
"Is it true, you know it in your heart." Chen Fu said simply.
Liujin struggled hard. Chen Fu looked at his grandson's little face, which was red and red, and found that his grandson's face and chin looked very much like him, and only his eyes followed his mother. After seeing enough, Chen Fu said leisurely: "When my grandfather was as big as you, his archery skills were always the last. The children of his classmates gave me a nickname and called me Chen Wai."
If you shoot in a crooked manner, it is called a crooked manner.
Liu Jin was unconsciously attracted by the story of his bad grandfather’s similarity to him. He forgot to struggle and asked blankly: “What happened later?”
Chen Fu held his grandson's warm little fat hand and smiled lovingly: "Later, my grandfather never learned archery well and his driving skills were average, but my grandfather was always the first in the other four subjects. Then, my grandmother passed the exam and learned about Yuan and the top scorer. My grandfather assisted the late emperor to ascend the throne successfully. My grandfather became the chief assistant of the cabinet, and my grandfather went to war with your uncle to suppress the rebellion of the King of England."
Liujin opened his small mouth wide and his big eyes filled with worship. He thought his bad grandfather was so powerful.
After bragging, Chen Fu taught his grandson seriously: "No one is perfect. His grandfather is good at learning and he is not good at archery. But he became the chief minister of the civil servants. Your grandfather Xiao has good kung fu and can fight, but he may not even be able to memorize the "Three Character Classic". You see, we both have shortcomings, but we have all become officials of the court, right?"
Liujin is full of thought that Grandfather Xiao can’t recite the Three Character Classic. Is Grandfather Xiao really that stupid?
Chen Fu dipped his grandson's face and concluded: "People don't have to strive for the first place in everything, they do their best in everything, which is enough."
Six jin seems to understand but not understand.
Chen Fu smiled and said, "What are the confusions of Liujin in the future? My father and Grandfather Xiao can't teach you, so you can come to me at any time."
Liujin asked subconsciously: "How can I find you?"
Chen Fu was secretly happy and said, "Grandfather has a bamboo house in the school. If you have anything to do, write a letter and stuff it into the door. When I see you when I come, I will reply to you."
Liujin nodded.
Chen Fu reluctantly patted his grandson on the shoulder: "Go to sleep, anyway, we won't be generals in the future, so it doesn't matter if we don't shoot archery well."
Liu Jin understood vaguely, and after a few steps, the young man suddenly turned around and asked his bad grandfather in confusion: "You said that no one is perfect, why does my father know everything?" Liu Jin admired his father the most.
Archer, Chen Fu lowered his head and burst into tears: "Because your father was not by his side when he was a child, he wanted to protect your grandmother, so he learned everything best."
Liujin saw his elders crying for the first time, but he was still such an old elder. Seeing his bad grandfather sitting there alone, looking into the distance, without erasing his tears, Liujin felt a little sad for him.
The simple and kind child walked over slowly and reached out to help his bad grandfather wipe his tears.
Chen Fu hugged his grandson again and said regretfully: "Grandfather is sorry for your grandmother, sorry for your father, and sorry for Liujin."
Liu Jin was inexplicably miserable and said aggrievedly: "Why don't grandfather want grandmother?"
"Because my grandfather is so poor that I can't afford to buy a golden hairpin for your grandmother. Others give my grandfather wealth and grandfather is obsessed with it, so I abandoned your grandmother. Liujin, this is the thing that my grandfather regrets the most in this life. You don't have to forgive your grandfather, but you have to remember the lessons of your grandfather and never repeat the mistakes of your grandfather in the future."
Liujin was confused.
After returning home, Liu Jin followed the agreement with his bad grandfather and did not mention this matter to his family.
In the evening, Xiao Zhen returned to his house and wanted to teach his grandson martial arts again.
Liujin didn't want to learn anymore. Xiao Zhen thought his grandson wanted to be lazy and was so angry that he wanted to beat his grandson. Liujin didn't hide, so he just raised his head and asked, "Grandfather, can you recite the "Three Character Classic"?"
Xiao Zhen:...
Liujin understood his grandfather's expression and laughed: "My grandfather likes to learn martial arts. He can be a general even if he can't memorize the Three Character Classic. I want to be a civil servant, so he doesn't need to be able to shoot arrows."
Sun Zi Zhen made a statement, but Xiao Zhen was not willing to be outdone and retorted: "Your father is a civil servant, and he can still shoot arrows."
Liujin blinked and said, "Then I'll let my father teach me!" Humph, my father was much more reasonable than my grandfather.
After saying that, Liujin really ran to find his father. Archer didn't think he had to force his son to learn martial arts. Now that his son has figured it out, Archer is still very pleased.
