Huang Youcai didn't know how to answer, he was frozen there.
Because someone in his family is an official, he is better informed than ordinary people.
The county magistrate's friend, Xie Ziyu, is named Beiming...
When Ma Fuzi was being taught a lesson by Xu He and became angry, he saw Xie Kun wearing a Confucian shirt and didn't think much about it. He thought he was a scholar from somewhere and said: "Who are you? If you enter the social sciences without invitation, be careful. I’ll go to the county magistrate and file a complaint against you!”
Jiaoyu is a minor official in the county who specializes in cultural and educational work. He is a low-ranking official. However, he is also in charge of all the scholars in the county. In Ma Fuzi's eyes, Jiaoyu is a great person.
But Xie Kun smiled contemptuously and said: "Education? Even if you come from this province, you must be polite when you see me!"
Master Ma's eyes almost popped out when he heard this.
Tixue, also known as the admiral and academic administrator, is responsible for the academic administration of a province, and is usually filled by the deputy envoys and ministers of inspection. However, Hailing is under the jurisdiction of Nanzhili, and the academic administration is handled by the censor.
And if you are not a Jinshi, you are not qualified to serve as an academic administrator.
So when Master Ma heard Xie Kun's words that he was not afraid of the academic administration, he immediately felt a thump in his heart.
In his opinion, the fact that he is not even afraid of academic affairs means that he has also won the Jinshi. The person in front of him is either a serving official or a provincial official.
No matter what, this man was as good as pinching a snail with three fingers when he dealt with a little boy like him.
At this moment, there was suddenly the sound of chaotic footsteps outside the door, and it seemed that many people had entered the yard.
The woman who had just eaten noodles asked, "Who is it?"
But there was no movement the next second.
After a while, the county magistrate Li Zhijie walked into the social studies school.
The moment he saw Xie Kun, he smiled and said, "Ziyu, it's so hard to find me!"
Ma Fuzi's vision suddenly went dark. The man who entered was wearing a seventh-grade official uniform. He must have been the county magistrate who had just taken office recently.
And Magistrate Li is so polite to visitors...
"Haha, I just encountered something interesting. You, the student, are quite interesting!" Xie Kun pointed at Xu He and said.
Only then did County Magistrate Li notice Xu He behind Xie Kun: "Hey, you're studying in the community here?"
Xu He quickly bowed and saluted: "Teacher!"
Ma Fuzi: "..."
He thought he could bully Xu He arbitrarily in the rural social studies department, but he didn't expect the county magistrate to show up here today. What surprised him even more was that the relationship between Xu He and County Magistrate Li was not at all what Huang Youcai said. They are teachers and students in name only.
Now he is getting angry. He just deliberately made things difficult for the magistrate's beloved disciple. He doesn't want to hang out in this county anymore.
Huang Youcai's face didn't look good either, with patches of blue and white.
County Magistrate Li had noticed him a long time ago. He was extremely disgusted with this Huang Youcai. If he hadn't punished him for frame-up for the sake of his brother Huang Youcai in this county examination, he didn't expect that meet again.
At this time, Xie Kun stepped forward and whispered a few words to Magistrate Li.
Magistrate Li frowned more and more as he listened. He looked at Master Ma and said, "I remember when I first took office, the teaching minister brought the scholars from each village to visit him. In Xujiacun, there was a scholar named Xie. What's wrong? There has been a change. ? What is your title?"
Master Ma's face turned red. He raised his eyelids to look at Huang Youcai and muttered: "The student's surname is Ma, and he is a child."
Magistrate Li was furious: "You, a little boy, actually call yourself a student in front of me? Where are you?"
Zaoban Xiangyong, who followed the county magistrate, immediately stepped out of the way, twisting one of Ma Fuzi's arms.
"Drag him down and beat him!"
Ma Fuzi panicked and said, "Sir..."
But County Magistrate Li didn't look at him at all, and turned to stare at Huang Youcai again.
Huang Youcai's face turned sallow, and large beads of sweat rolled down his cheeks and fell to the ground.
Magistrate Li: "You know whether what happened today has anything to do with you. I will write to your brother and tell you everything you have done recently! But I want to advise you: a gentleman must consider the consequences of his words. , and you must judge what you have done!"
Huang Youcai was so frightened that he quickly walked out from behind the case, lying on the ground and saying, "I will obey your teachings!"
Magistrate Li said calmly: "You will be punished by being grounded for half a year and reflect at home!"
When Huang Youcai heard this, he immediately collapsed to the ground like a deflated rubber ball.
He was used to going to the Qin Lou Chu Pavilion, so grounding him would be more uncomfortable than killing him.
After County Magistrate Li finished speaking, he turned to the clerk of the ceremonial room who was following behind him and said: "Master Hou, tomorrow I will invite the scholar named Xie here. How can my disciples ask an old boy to teach him? No. It’s time to delay!”
Behind him, a man dressed as an official quickly bowed in agreement.
Hearing that Master Xie was going to be invited back, the school cheered loudly, and the schoolchildren shouted, "The magistrate is wise!" As a result, County Magistrate Li unexpectedly gained a wave of public opinion and was in a good mood.
After handling a small matter, Magistrate Li's mood improved slightly. He waved to Xu He and said, "Come out with us."
Hearing this, Xu He followed County Magistrate Li, Xie Kun and his entourage out of the school in the envious eyes of all his classmates.
When they arrived at the courtyard, Ma Fuzi was pushed to the ground by two Zaobanxiang Yongzheng and spanked. The woman with a black mole on her mouth was kicking and cursing on the ground like she was in a bad mood.
When County Magistrate Li saw this, he snorted coldly with a dark face: "What a shame!"
After saying that, he flicked his sleeves and walked out of the yard.
When they came outside the hospital, County Magistrate Li frowned and said to Xu He: "Don't get involved with such villains in the future. If you have anything to do, you can go to the county government office to see me directly. If I'm not here, I can ask someone to bring you a message to thank you, Master Xie!"
Although County Magistrate Li was a bit impulsive in his actions, he was really kind to Xu He, he was also upright, and he hated evil as much as hatred.
Xu He felt grateful and bowed to Magistrate Li: "The teacher's kindness will never be forgotten by the students. Now he has nothing to repay, so he can only study hard in the hope that he can help the teacher in the future!"
Magistrate Li finally showed a smile and nodded.
He looked at the nearby river and the shadowy Hailing County in the distance. He turned to Xu He and said, "Thank you, Master Bo, for being such a talented person. He is not only good at writing, but also excellent at poetry and painting. While he is here, why don't you write a poem?" How about asking him to comment on one song?"
Xie Kun was stunned when he heard this, and then looked at Magistrate Li meaningfully.
Xu He searched his belly and found a poem that really suited the occasion.
This is "Returning to Hailing from Chai Ruins" by Chu Guan, a poet from Hailing in the Ming Dynasty. It only needs a slight modification to fit the scenery in front of us.
Donggu Jiangxiang Shui Junior High School,
The sail hangs for ten miles and is full of river wind.
Countless white pods rely on red polygonum,
The Phoenix Dungeon was empty yesterday.
"What a poem!" Xie Kun praised after listening to it, clapping his left hand with a folding fan.
"I visited Jiangxiang eastward, and my sail hung ten miles to describe the scenery. There were countless white ducks, and the phoenix has gone to express its love! I didn't expect you to have such a poetic talent at such a young age. You will definitely have a place in the poetry world of the Wei Dynasty in the future!"
Magistrate Li couldn't help stroking his beard and smiling when he heard this.
He and Xie Kun had the same idea. They both believed that Xu He had a bright future, so he smiled slightly and said: "After all, the social studies master has limited knowledge. Brother Ziyu has been staying in Hailing recently, why don't you help me teach this student?"
Xie Kun said with an expression like "I knew it would be like this": "It's not impossible, my Shu Xiu is not fifty cents!"
Everyone was stunned when they heard this, and then they all laughed.
Xu He said respectfully: "My uncle taught me, it is my great fate, I will prepare a generous gift before paying my respects!"
Xie Kun stroked his beard and smiled, but did not speak.
When County Magistrate Li saw this, he said to Xu He: "Go back first and go to the county government office every fifth and eighth day of every month to ask your uncle for advice!"
"Yes!" Xu He bowed again and retreated.
After Xu He left, Xie Kun looked at Magistrate Li with a smile but not a smile: "Be careful, I think you seem to be very optimistic about this boy!"
County Magistrate Li nodded: "At the age of fifteen, he is able to solve problems calmly and has amazing poetic talent. The key is that no one has discovered this piece of jade for so many years. Now I am the first to discover it. I will form a good relationship early and wait for him." If you become successful in the future, you can become a ready-made teacher for my son!"
Xie Kun was shocked at first when he heard this, and then he was silent for a moment and said: "Since you were appointed as an official, I didn't expect that my horizons have broadened. Officialdom really trains people!"
Li Zhijie laughed at himself: "You, you, if you hadn't been able to show off in the examination room, you wouldn't have ended up returning home sadly. Don't do anything rashly in the next subject!"
Speaking of this, Xie Kun was a little upset. He waved his hand and said, "The Phoenix Pier mentioned in your student poem just now is the high place under the city wall to the east of Wanghai Tower?"
Hearing this, Li Zhijie couldn't help complaining that his friend's thinking was too fast. He nodded and said: "Exactly! It is said that it was built with soil outside the city during the Southern Song Dynasty's resistance to the Jin Dynasty. It is the highest place within the east city wall."
Xie Kun thought for a moment and then smiled and said: "When we go back, we pass by Fenghuang Dun and take a look. Let's continue to look around at the terrain. We must be aware of it no matter what!"
The Zhongyuan poem in this chapter was written by Chu Guan, a prodigy from Hailing in the Ming Dynasty.
Chu Guan, also known as Chaixu, was a famous poet in the Ming Dynasty.
This poem is called "Returning to Hailing from Chaixu". The original text is:
Beiwangjiang Township Shui Junior High School,
The sail hangs ten miles and fills the lake with wind.
Countless white pods rely on red polygonum,
There is only Xiaoyao Diaoweng.
