During the Zhengde period of the Ming Dynasty, there was a lotus town in the northwest of Wu County in Suzhou, and there was a scholar named Jia Jian in the town, who came from a family of scholars, but he could not read Ding from an early age. But when he was twenty-six years old, a strange thing happened to him, and later he was made into high school. And this story has been passed down to this day, and it is amazing to say it!
Jia Jiazu once had two jinshi, but when he arrived at Jia Jian's father, Jia Lian, he stopped here. After Jia Lian failed to pass several meetings, he made a master book in Wu County.
Some people often say, "Thirty years of reading Confucian books is better than reading the master book of Jia." It can be seen that Jia Lian's knowledge is profound and he is extremely famous in the whole Of Wu County. However, such a person, when he encounters his son Jia Jian, is also helpless.
It is said that when Jia Jian was born, there was a vision in the sky, and a heavy rain fell for three days and three nights. Jia Jian had two older sisters above him, and when he was born, his father was already forty years old, which was considered to be an old son. Therefore, Jia Lian has high hopes for this son, hoping that he will be able to obtain a meritorious name when he grows up, and he can honor his ancestors in the future.
When Jia Jian was five years old, he was sent to the academy and read and read behind Mr. Zhou, a private school. It's just that he is too mischievous, Mr. Does not learn a word, and often teases Mr. Zhou in the academy, and finally Mr. Zhou, in a fit of anger, said to Jia Lian: "The shaft is rude, my generation is overwhelmed by heavy responsibilities, and also ask the lord bookkeeper to choose another good teacher for the little prince!"
Jia Lian found a few gentlemen for his son, but they were all angry, and finally in desperation, he had to teach his son to read and read.
At first, Jia Jian learned quite seriously, and every day he took the initiative to hand over his homework to his father for examination. But later Jia Lian found a hint of clue, it turned out that these lessons were written by the other party. Jia Lianqi blew his beard and narrowed his eyes, and when he took the ring ruler and planned to teach his son, he was protected by his wife Yang Shi, so that he could not beat him, nor could he scold.
More than ten years have passed in the blink of an eye, and now Jia Jian is twenty-two years old, but he still can't read a basket of big characters. This year, Jia Lian was critically ill, and he called his son to the bedside and said, "Over the years, you have been arrogant and arrogant outside, and they don't bother with you when they look at my face, and when I die, I'm afraid you'll have to suffer some hardships."
Until this moment, Jia Jian knew that his comfortable life was coming to an end, and he hugged his father and cried bitterly: "Father, I know that I am wrong, I want to study well, I will never be lazy again."
Jia Lian sighed and said, "Son, where in the world is there regret medicine, for today's plan, you can only marry the sima family's maid, in order to protect you completely."
Sima Lin is a county clerk in Wu County, and Jia Lian is a colleague, and the two run errands in one place, and they have a good relationship on weekdays. He had a daughter named Sima Yan, a notorious talented woman in Wu County.
One day, Jia Lian and Sima Lin went out on an errand together, and the two talked about their plans for the future of their children on the road. Sima Lin sighed and said, "Unfortunately, Yan'er is a daughter, otherwise with her talent, she might not have lost to those Qingxiu people."
Jia Lianjian spoke for half a day, and finally came to the right point, and then he followed: "Yes, in order to make the talent of love, the person who will marry in the future must be the one who is the current leader."
Sima Lin was very impressed when he heard these words, and he casually asked, "How old is Ling Gongzi?"
Jia Lian hurriedly replied, "Twenty out of two."
Sima Lin's eyes lit up, and he casually sighed and said, "Ling Gongzi and the little girl are a good match, but the lady is proud and arrogant, and vows to marry someone with meritorious fame."
Jia Lian smiled and said, "Don't worry, the dog has this intention, but there is still something to annoy The County Cheng to help..."
A few days later, Jia Jian went to Sima Jia's house with a dowry to propose to him, but he was stopped at the door. Sima Lin looked at Jia Jian and asked, "What are you here for?"
Jia Jian said politely, "Uncle, I have come to propose to my relatives."
Sima Lin sneered, "You go, the little girl will not marry Bai Ding."
Jia Jian was a little anxious to hear this, and he explained: "Uncle, I am not a white Ding, but I just don't want to take the meritorious examination."
"Oh? Why? Sima Lin was a little surprised, the other party was a well-known clumsy disciple in Wu County, he had already heard about it, but he didn't expect the other party to say such a thing now.
"Do not envy the golden silk (pronounced lei), do not envy the white jade cup; do not envy the dynasty into the province, do not envy the twilight into Taiwan; but envy the water of the West River, once came down to Jinling City." Jia Jian looked at the other party and said without humility.
When Sima Lin heard these words, he was immediately surprised, he naturally understood that this was a poem by Tea Saint Lu Yu, but he did not expect that such words came from the mouth of a stupid boy who only knew how to eat, drink and have fun in his daily life. Could it be that he underestimated the Jia family boy?
Naturally not, in fact, this sentence was taught by Jia Jian before he came, his father taught him to memorize it. At this moment, after speaking in one breath, his back was already wet, afraid that the other party would see the flaw.
When he was feeling proud, a young woman came out of the Sima Mansion, and she looked at Jia Jian with contempt and sneered: "Gongzi is so breathtaking, why don't the boys take Wu Hook and collect the fifty states of Guanshan." Please go to ling yan pavilion for the time being, if a scholar is a ten thousand households? ”
"What do you say?" Jia Jian did not understand what the other party was saying, but he was still the first time he saw the first talented woman in Wu County, and he did not expect that the other party's appearance was also unparalleled, and his saliva almost flowed to the ground.
"Sure enough, he was a prodigal disciple who didn't learn any skills," Sima Yan looked at him dismissively, and turned and walked toward the palace.
When the other party was far away, Jia Jian came back to his senses, and he shouted loudly, "How can I marry you?"
"Unless you win." Sima Yan's voice reached Jia Jian's ears from afar.
"Little nephew, did you hear me?" This family affair is not that I do not agree, it is really that the little girl does not understand etiquette, and you still don't come in the future. Sima Lin laughed.
Jia Jian looked at the place where Sima Yan's back disappeared, his gaze suddenly became incomparably firm, and then he secretly swore: "I will definitely come again, definitely."
After this blow, Jia Jian returned home and began to bury his head in hard reading, and every day his head was hanging from the beam cone, vowing to make up for the wasted time.
Jia Lian stood outside the window and saw his son studying hard, he smiled with satisfaction, although his son only remembered to study now, it was better than really becoming an illiterate clumsy child in the future.
Maybe Jia Jian used to like to play greedily, and once he really studied seriously, his progress was also rapid. After he showed his talents in the academy examination, he was raised in the later township examination, and the following year he was again admitted to the Gongshi examination.
Such an amazing speed surprised everyone, so Jia Lian threw a feast for this, and Sima Lin also came to congratulate him on the same day. It's just that Jia Jian waited at the door for half a day, and didn't see Sima Yan's figure, he seemed to be a little disappointed, and when he was about to enter the house, someone behind him shouted: "Are you waiting for me?"
When Jia Jian heard this voice, he was excited and didn't know what to say, he looked back, but he was surprised: "Li Xiulian, how are you?"
"Brother Jane, isn't it me who else, are you studying hard for me?" It turned out that the woman who spoke was Li Xianling's Qianjin, who grew up with Jia Jian and had already secretly agreed.
When Jia Jian went to play in the county when she was a child, someone once joked that when Xiulian grew up, she would definitely marry Jia Jian as a wife. At that time, Li Xianling listened and laughed: "My daughter will not marry a layman in the future, Xiao Jian, you have to work hard to obtain a meritorious name."
Jia Jian always remembered this sentence in his heart, but he regarded Li Xiulian as his sister, but he did not have the slightest love for men and women. However, his father ran an errand in the county court, and if he took the meritorious name in the future, it would only make his father embarrassed, so he secretly decided not to study and take the meritorious name.
Since Jia Jian became a stupid disciple, Li Xianling let his daughter and Jia Jian cut off contact, this time I heard that Jia Jian took the gongshi examination, and if he participated in the temple examination and then went to high school in the future, then the future was unlimited, so Li Xiulian came back again.
Jia Jian saw that the person who came was not the Sima Yan he wanted to see in his heart, and his face suddenly showed disappointment. However, Li Xiulian couldn't care less, so she ran over and took the other person's hand and said, "Brother Jane, you are about to take the temple examination, let's go to Sanyuanfang to burn incense."
"If I don't go, I won't be able to pass the exam, so what do I do there?" Jia Jian shook his head in refusal, seemingly unwilling to go to that kind of place.
"I heard that there was a three-element yuan in the middle of the line there, let's go and have a look!" Li Xiulian pulled Jia Jane's arm and said.
"Don't go, I'm going to go to you." Jia Jian was still unmoved.
Li Xiulian was overwhelmed with tears in the eyes of the other party, and she threw away the other party's arm and exhaled: "Hum, Jia Jane, you are a big fool, I hate you to death." After saying that, he ran away crying with red eyes.
Jia Jian looked at the other party's back, shook his head and sighed, "I didn't have the heart to hurt the Yi people, but the Yi people have been injured in vain." After saying that, he walked up to the back room, but when he reached the door, he turned around and ran again.
Sanyuanfang Lane belonged to XiuyiFang during the Southern Song Dynasty, commonly known as LingjiaoJiang Lane, also known as Ping'an Alley. At that time, Shangrui even ranked first in the Zhongxiang Examination, the Hui Examination and the Temple Examination, and was the only person whose "three examinations" in the Ming Dynasty Imperial Examination were the first place.
Now Jia Jian is also even in the top list of the Zhongxiang Examination and the Huihui Examination, and the remaining temple examination has not yet opened, such a meaningful place, how could he miss it?
When he arrived at Sanyuanfang, Jia Jian saw a figure that surprised him a little, and he approached and asked, "How did you come here?"
"Can't I come?" Sima Yan asked rhetorically.
Jia Jian saw that the other party appeared here, in fact, he had already guessed something, but it was not yet time to say it. He pretended to be cynical and said, "Are you here to pray for my blessing and wish me the entrance examination?"
Sima Yan glanced at him and said, "I don't believe you can pass the examination for the middle school, this kind of person has only been born in hundreds of years."
Jia Jian smiled and said, "Then I am one of hundreds of people."
Sima Yan knew that the other party was deliberately flirting with herself, but this time she did not get angry, but blushed and ran away with her head down.
When Jia Jian finished burning incense and was preparing to leave Sanyuanfang, he suddenly heard someone talking behind the mountain forest, and the accent sounded very strange, he walked over to take a look, and found that it was Miao Zhu and a pilgrim talking about something, only to see that the pilgrim was dressed strangely and did not look like a Han, so he hid behind the tree and listened for a while.
Miao Zhu looked around cautiously, then said in a low voice, "In a few days, the temple test will be opened, and at this time, Sanyuanfang is full of Han Chinese, how dare you come here?"
The pilgrim said, "I know that the temple test will open immediately, and the khan asked me to come over, that is, to get a secret report from Jingzhong, Zhu Houzhao will come to Sanyuanfang before the temple test is opened, as long as we set up an ambush in advance, we can leave him here forever."
Miao Zhu looked surprised and said, "If the assassination fails, this is a major crime to kill the head."
The pilgrim sneered, "Well, only success is allowed, not failure."
Seeing that the other party had made such a determination, Miao Zhu gritted his teeth and said, "Well, I will arrange this, your people will come in through pilgrims in these few days, and you must not be discovered."
When Jia Jian heard this, he was shocked, and when he returned, he told his father everything he had just heard. Jia Lian was greatly surprised to hear this and asked, "Jane, you told me whether this matter is true or not, this matter is very important, and if we don't get it, our whole family will have to go in."
Jia Jian said, "Daddy, no matter how much I make a fool of myself, I don't dare to joke about the lives of my whole family."
Jia Lian thought about it, although his son was naughty since he was a child, he was never ambiguous when he encountered major events. Moreover, he did receive news from Li Xianling that the emperor would come to Suzhou Wu County in a few days, but his specific whereabouts were unknown.
At this moment, after listening to his son say these things, Jia Lian rode back to the county to report the county order. When Li Xianling learned that someone was going to assassinate the emperor within his jurisdiction, he immediately reported the matter to the prefect.
After the prefect knew, he naturally did not dare to deceive, after all, assassinating the emperor was a big thing to plot rebellion, so he took the matter to the imperial court.
Zhu Houzhao was greatly excited after receiving the news of shangquan, and he quickly arranged for his own march. At this time, less than seventy years after the change of Tumu Fort, the courtiers could not help but be nervous when they heard the word "pro-march", so they made another exhortation, lesson, and even threat, but Zhu Houzhao was absolutely unwilling to let go of this opportunity for actual combat, and finally personally brought a group of jinyi guards dressed in plain clothes to Wu County, Suzhou.
Although the emperor wanted to personally capture the thieves, Li Xianling did not dare to be careless, and he cooperated with the prefect to send some soldiers and horses to surround the temple, while Zhu Houzhao rushed in with people.
To everyone's surprise, although Zhu Houzhao was usually greedy, in this battle, he showed extraordinary military talent, and he first sent some people to pretend to be him to lure the snake out of the hole, to lure out these lurking thieves, and then he rushed out to kill them himself, to attack them unexpectedly, and finally capture all these thieves.
Zhu Houzhao looked at the man who had just blocked a knife for himself with some surprise and asked, "Boy, you are good at kung fu, what is your name?"
The man knelt down and replied, "Grass folk Jia Jian."
"Jia Jian, yes, your kung fu is better than Wu Zhuangyuan, and it is worse than That's natural." Zhu Houzhao said solemnly.
"The emperor's merits are great, how dare the grass people compare with it?" Jia Jian took the opportunity to shoot a horse ass.
In fact, over the years, Jia Jian did not have XiWen, but he has been practicing martial arts, and he has not wasted his youth, after all, as a stupid boy, in addition to bullying people, he also has to prevent being bullied.
Later, after the first instance of the county order, it was learned that these thieves, the Mongol prince Boyan, had sent people to sneak attack, and such a despicable act was disgraceful. Zhu Houzhao was even more furious when he learned the truth, and in the later Battle of Yingzhou, he personally led his troops to defeat the little Prince of Mongolia, and this battle also temporarily stabilized the northern border of the Ming Empire for a long time.
On this day, Jia Lian was sorting out the paperwork at home, when suddenly three people came from the house, and one of them, a young man, said, "Old Master Jia, it is interesting to send it."
"Interesting?" Jia Jian wondered, "What's interesting, Huang Liu, don't make fun of me."
"Don't dare, don't dare, your son High School Yuanlang, how dare I make fun of the old man!" Huang Liu and the two messengers around him, He Xidao.
Jia Lian couldn't believe it, and when he took a look at the Holy Will, he was stunned, he didn't expect that his son would actually Chinese Wu Zhuangyuan at the same time. You must know that since ancient times, only one person with this honor has appeared, and that person is Zheng Guan of the Tang Dynasty.
After Jia Lian's surprise, he found that his son was missing, so he quickly asked the housekeeper next to him, "Where did Jane Go?" ”
The butler glanced at the messenger, bowed his head, and said, "The young master went out early in the morning, and now he should play with Miss Sima at Lake Huantai!"
Jia Lian was a little helpless after listening, his son, how could he not be assured of anything, but for this Sima Yan, he was deeply rooted in love.
At this time, Sima Lin walked into the room, and he laughed loudly: "Brother Jia, do not dishonor the mission, hahaha..."
When Jia Lian saw his old friend coming, the two looked at each other and laughed. It turned out that all this was in the planning of the two old foxes, but it did not let people see the flaws.
Soon after, Jia Jian and Sima Yan completed the big marriage, and Jia Jian was deeply used by the emperor, he was honest and honest for the officials, and did a lot of practical things for the common people during his office. Later, when there was a coup d'état in the DPRK, he resigned his official post and returned to his hometown, and since then the husband and wife have lived a happy life of seclusion in the mountains and forests.
Write at the end
"Life must be full of joy, do not make the golden bottle empty to the moon." I am born to be useful, and I will come back when all the money is gone. The meaning is: when life is happy, you must enjoy yourself, and do not let your wine glass empty against the moonlight. Because Heaven created me, I must be valuable, and even if I spend all the gold, I can earn it back.
In this story, Jia Jian began as a mischievous and unlearned clumsy boy, and later under the careful and ingenious planning of his father, he suffered the blow of love, so he became angry and strong, and finally not only won high school, but also gained the love he wanted.
In real life, there are also many people like Jia Jian around us, who are obviously very smart, but they always ignore the good words around them and like to use their wisdom on crooked ways. Only after experiencing it did I understand that if my wisdom chooses a correct path, the future will inevitably be bright.
Finally, I hope that through this story, everyone can remember such a sentence: "Do anything, don't deny yourself first, work hard, try, you know if you can do it!"
