Chapter 41 Chen Xiu

After hearing what the Lord Jing'an Zhai said, Lin Wu remained silent and bowed slightly, "A wealthy family often comes from playboys; ordinary families also have pillars of talent. Under the palace and pavilion, the reputation is either nothing but articles; in the grass and wild grass, wise men often hide themselves and hide themselves. Some are rich or poor, but they are just a temporary cloud. In the court and wild, they are all worried about the country and the people. Do you know if the Lord Jing'an Zhai agrees?"

After Lin Wu said something, the Lord Jing'anzhai's vision had changed a few times. Both of them were literati, and their words and deeds naturally brought some literary words. Although Lin Wu did not directly comfort the Lord Jing'anzhai to accept his two sons, these indirect words implied many meanings.

On the one hand, it shows that it does not agree with the practice of Jing'anzhai teaching the homework in different categories. The so-called "teaching but not being different". Why can you teach children from poor people? Is it just because we are rich and noble? There is no reason to turn it off when we come to ask for advice, unless the child has a bad character. At the same time, it also vaguely argued that wealth or poverty cannot be a reason for teaching or not teaching. Only if the child is good or not and is willing to make progress is the basis for whether to teach knowledge.

On the other hand, Lin Wu also cleverly put a high hat on the Lord of Jing'anzhai, "Under the palace and pavilion, the reputation may be nothing more than articles; in the grass and wild, the wise and wise people sometimes hide and hide." This is an exaggeration, and the Lord of Jing'anzhai is compared to the wise and wise. The latter sentence "In the court and the wild, they are all worried about the country and the people" is more straightforward. Regardless of wealth and poverty, or whether they are officials, everyone talks about "benevolence, righteousness, propriety, wisdom, trustworthiness, loyalty, filial piety, integrity, shame and courage."

Lin Wu seemed to respond casually, but in fact he had spent some time. If the master of Jing'an Zhai was praised by Yang Xuan, he must have real talent and knowledge, but he did not follow the path of imperial examinations. Instead, he set up a cottage in this suburb to teach poor people's children to study. What they think is easy to guess. The word "worrying about the people" may not be discussed, but the word "for the people" is completely worthy of. So Lin Wucai said, "I am an official, and it sounds good to share the worries for the king; if you open a private school in the grass cottage here, it is also a good thing for the people. Although everyone is in court and in the wild, they are all for the country and the people, and they are generally the same.

After these words, the Lord Jing'anzhai looked at him with admiration. The same meaning, different people expressed the same effect, may be very different. Just looking at Lin Wu's words, he expressed his meaning tactfully, and at the same time he also cleverly wore a high hat on the other party. The hat was worn smoothly and without any trace. Even the Lord Jing'anzhai wanted to refuse, but he was afraid that he would be powerless and had nowhere to speak.

This is the beauty of rhetoric.

The Lord Jing'anzhai nodded slightly in the first few words, but after hearing a few words, he smiled bitterly on his face, knowing that the other party was wearing a hat on him. At the same time, the Lord Jing'anzhai looked at Lin Wu a little different. When Lin Wu's words "in the court and in the wild" came out, Lord Jing'anzhai already knew that the person in front of him was probably the official figure...

The master of Jing'anzhai bowed and said, "I am really eloquent and admire you very much! I am sorry for being so stupid. I dare to ask you... who is it?"

As soon as this statement was made, it was equivalent to telling Lin Wu: "I understand what you said, and I will put on the hat. Don't pretend, what kind of official is, say it."

Previously, the Lord Jing'anzhai saw Lin Wu wearing a blue shirt, wearing a free hairpin, and his behavior was calm and moderate, unlike ordinary people, so he called Lin Wu "Zhouxia". This is a respectful title, which can be called this to elders and peers who deserve respect. But at this moment, the Lord Jing'anzhai suddenly called Lin Wu "Your Excellency", and the meaning was very clear. The word "Your Excellency" is not something that can be used casually. Only those who are in high positions and close to the palace can be called "Your Excellency". Who can afford to build a palace and loft platform in a commoner? If you have to call it "Someone", I believe the word "Under the Eaves" is very suitable...

The names of ancient times were representative and should not be confused and abused, such as your highness, your lord, your subordinates, and your feet... Different occasions, different identities, and each other have specific titles, and they all have special meanings. If you use them wrongly, not only does it seem that someone is unaware of books and does not express etiquette, but it can even bring about a disaster in some cases. On the contrary, if these names can be used cleverly in some cases, you can obtain unexpected effects. The change of the name of Lin Wu in front of the Lord Jing'anzhai belongs to this list. After just changing one word, it expresses the effect that requires the pile of numbers to be expressed, and at the same time, it also shows a hint of cleverness, which makes Lin Wu quite admired.

"After Lao Jing'anzhai asked, his surname is Lin, and his single name is Wu, now he is..."

"Ah..." The Lord Jing'anzhai looked surprised: "It turned out that the prefect was here. Shen Xiu was dull and had never met him. I hope he would forgive him." Lin Wu did not realize until now that the Lord Jing'anzhai's real name was Shen Xiu, which sounded like his identity as a scholar.

Seeing that although he said panic, his face was still as calm as usual, without a trace of panic, Lin Wu was not angry, and smiled and said, "The breeze, autumn dew, morning sun, and the cottage, such a beautiful scenery, but he was only concerned about some titles and things to come. Don't Master Shen Zhai feel that he was disappointed in the great time?"

When Shen Xiu heard this, his eyes flashed, and he looked at Lin Wu's blue shirt again. A smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, so he said, "Master Lin is quick and easy, and he is arrogant and unruly. Shen Xiu is more respectful than obedient. Such a beautiful scenery, if he stands here, he will be disappointed. Shen Xiu wants to invite him to Houlu to have tea, but I wonder what he wants?"

"Haha, I didn't expect that the Lord Jing'anzhai was also a native of this path. Lin Wu couldn't ask for it, but..." Lin Wu looked at the child who was still in the school and looked at Shen Xiu.

Shen Xiu smiled and said, "It's okay. You must follow the steps of studying and being a human being. How can you achieve it overnight?" After that, he led Lin Wu and the other two around Jing'an's Thatched Cottage, passed through a few slanted willows, and came to the hut behind. Lin Wu looked at the surrounding environment and couldn't help but nodded secretly. Although the horizontal plaque in Jing'an's Thatched Cottage was made in a rough manner, the handwriting on it was flying and phoenix, exuding a sense of dust. The hut in front of him looked simple, but there were a few slanted willows and a stream winding around him, which immediately made the artistic conception look extraordinary.

A flat ground was tidied up in front of the thatched cottage. A square stone was placed in the middle of the flat ground, and a few slightly smaller stones were scattered around it. Shen Xiu bowed and said, "Sit here to sit wide, wait for Shen Xiu to obtain the treasures, and then talk to the adults." There was nothing else in the courtyard, only a few stones. Shen Xiu actually dared to say "sit wide" to the prefect, and said it was as easy as eating and drinking water. It was obvious that he was also a bold and unruly person. Lin Wu smiled and moved a stone openly, sat down near the central stone. Lin Nan and Lin Zhi did not dare to be arrogant, and only stood next to Lin Wu, waiting for Shen Xiu to come out.

After a while, the master of Jing'an Zhai Chen Xiu made a bunch of guys, a full set of tea sets, a small stove made of red mud, and a palm fan with black edges that was so smoky and fired... Lin Wu smiled. It seemed that the master of Jing'an Zhai was indeed very good at this. Chen Xiu skillfully arranged many utensils one by one, waved his hand and said to Lin Nan and Lin Zhi, "Go and pick up some firewood." This was said calmly, just like directing his own children. Strangely, Lin Wu took this for granted, and Lin Nan and Lin Zhi didn't say anything, so he turned around and went to find dry firewood...
