Chapter 149: Repaying Teacher's Grace
Huang Tixue's cough and gasp sound came from the neighboring room. Zeng Yu frowned and said nothing. After the cough and gasp sound was calm, he said to Huang Lubao: "Please tell me the details."
Huang Lubao hesitated for a moment and said, "My master is kind and righteous, and has not told the truth to Mr. Zeng. In fact, the master was sick this time because of overwork. Another reason is that Mr. Wang from the Censorate Department sent a letter to ask about Mr. Zeng's entry into school. My master caused illness due to his worries."
The "Master Wang of the Censorate" Huang Lubao said was Wang Zongmu, the former deputy envoy of the School of Education in Jiangxi Province. He is now the Censor of Jiangxi Province. He is in charge of the judicial judicial system of a province with great power. Zeng Yuxin said, "I, a little scholar, have alarmed the third-rank censor, and it is amazing." Asked Huang Lubao: "Wang Binshou only asked the school to go to school in an extraordinary way, and has not inquired about the fraud case in Yuanzhou Prefecture?"
Huang Lubao immediately looked embarrassed and said, "Of course I asked about it together. My master has replied to Wang Fenshou to explain."
Zeng Yu said: "Huang Tixue admitted primary school students to promote talents for the country in a variety of ways. During the Yuanzhou Prefecture Examination, Huang Tixue also interviewed primary school students with county chiefs and instructors. No one had any objections. The primary school students returned to Xinzhou Prefecture Examination and were ranked first in the monthly exam. How to compare primary school students' entry into the school with fraud cases?"
Huang Lubao said: "This is the inquiries from the Censor Wang, and it's not that I want to be troubled." Huang Lubao was resentful of Huang Tixue's severe reprimand for the last time involved in the fraud case. He did not hold a grudge against Huang Tixue, but was very dissatisfied with Zeng Yu. In his opinion, if Zeng Yu had not exposed the fraud case, he would have been benefited from twenty taels of silver. Huang Tixue would not have been held accountable by his boss because of the fraud case. Everyone was happy but Zeng Yu was disturbed-
Zeng Yu roughly noticed Huang Lubao's thoughts and said, "Huang Tixue was not in good health, and the staff helped him to review the papers. This is also a common thing in the imperial examination. However, the staff member Ling Fengqu failed Huang Tixue's trust and privately accepted money from the candidates, allowing some ignorant people to go to school, which greatly damaged Huang Tixue's reputation. He also liked Huang Tixue to correct the situation in time and bring the criminals to justice. Jiangxi scholars were happy and praised the master's wiseness. As Huang Tixue's family, you won't say that you harmed the head of the family last time in a fraud case. Today, Dr. Xue and I came to treat Huang Tixue from afar, but you didn't have a good face to show us. What's the reason?"
Huang Lubao has been studying and traveling with Huang Ti for many years, and has always been flattered. He has developed some arrogance. He was punished by Huang Tixue in the last fraud case. He cried bitterly and said he wanted to change his past, but he was dissatisfied. He only thought it was bad luck and Zeng Yu was interfering with it. Otherwise, there would be nothing. So he was very cold when he saw Zeng Yu just now. Unexpectedly, this young scholar would accuse him in person, which surprised and angered him, but he knew that he was in the wrong way. If Zeng Yu talked about his cold attitude to Huang Tixue, he would most likely be sent back to his hometown Jieyang, Lingnan.
"Why dare you disrespect Mr. Zeng? You are just worried that my master will be in a bad mood. If you have any negligence and negligence, please forgive me. "Huang Lubao endured his shame and apologized to Zeng Yu and Dr. Xue.
Zeng Yu said sincerely: "Brother Huang, you are Huang Tixue's confidant family, and below are Huang Tixue's disciples. We are both prosperous and both rich and lose. We should unite and take care of each other, and together we will give advice to maintain Huang Tixue's reputation-"
Huang Lubao said repeatedly: "Yes, yes, Mr. Zeng taught him a lesson."
Zeng Yu said: "How dare you tell a lesson | As a provincial academic and political education, Huang Tixue, as long as he presides over the scientific examination fairly and openly, even Wang Fenshou, the Censorate Department, has no right to deal with it. Now that Wang Fenshou has inquired about it, it involves illegal and illegal matters. Huang Tixue has made up the law and orderly Ling Fengqu has also been sent to the provincial capital for interrogation. Now Wang Fenshou has also questioned Huang Tixue for the matter of attending the school. This must be Ling Fengqu and the candidates who were punished for the fraud case attempt to slander Huang Tixue and want to use the matter of attending the school to go to school to throw dirty water. However, the young student is not afraid of any investigation. Even if Wang Fenshou is here, the young student can handle it freely, so there is no need to get out of his way. Just recuperate Huang Tixue's body and everything will be fine."
When Huang Lubao heard Zeng Yu feel so heartbroken, he couldn't help but feel a little ashamed and nodded, "Yes, Mr. Zeng said very well, then is my master in good health?" Looking at Dr. Xue.
Dr. Xue looked solemn and whispered: "Mr. Huang is weak and can no longer be tired. He must take medicine for a long time to treat it."
Huang Lubao sighed: "This year, the government test will be conducted in succession. The 13th government in Jiangxi have to travel all over, four to five thousand miles away. The master is really overworked. There are no capable people to help him now. Please ask Dr. Xue and Mr. Zeng to stay here for a while, so I will always make my master better."
The prescription prescribed by Dr. Xue should be considered after Huang Di's medication effect, so Zeng Yu and Dr. Xue discussed it for a while and decided to accompany Huang Di's exam for a few days. The next morning, Zeng Yu paid the two sedan chair servants' wages to send them back to Wutang in Yichun. He and Dr. Xue carefully used medicine for Huang Di's pulse-
Three days later, October 28th, Huang Tixue felt that he was better, so he was about to set off to Yichun to preside over the subject examination. Huang Lubao tried to persuade the master to rest for a few more days in Anfu and set off before he was healthy. Huang Tixue refused to listen and insisted on leaving. Huang Lubao begged Zeng Yu to persuade Huang Tixue. Zeng Yu followed Huang Lubao to see Huang Tixue. Although Huang Tixue's complexion was not as bad as the day before yesterday, he was still sick. Zeng Yu said bluntly: "The teacher was dragging his sick body. Even though he presided over the Yuanzhou scientific examination, there were Linjiang, Fuzhou, Jianchang, Xinzhou, Raozhou, Nankang, Jiujiang, and Nanchang eight palaces waiting for the teacher to press the teacher. Can the teacher's body persist with it?"
Senior Huang Ti sighed and said, "It seems that I have to retire and return home."
Zeng Yu said: "Why does the teacher say this? As long as you are well-nourished, the teacher will be healthy and healthy." After a change of tone, he asked: "Student, how many students in Yuanzhou Prefecture need to take the subject registration exam?"
Huang Ti Xuedao: "There will be no less than three hundred people."
Zeng Yu said: "Students think that teachers do not need to rush to press Linyuanzhou Prefecture. They can send letters to Yuanzhou, Linjiang, and Fuzhou, and let students from Yuanzhou and Fuzhou go to Linjiang Prefecture to participate in the examination. The time is scheduled for late November, so teachers do not have to run so hasty. There are only a thousand students in these three prefectures who want to take the examination. Teachers can also calmly review the papers, and they don't have to rush to the next one - what does the teacher think?"
Huang Tixue pondered: "I am so easy to deal with, but wouldn't the hundreds of students from Yuanzhou and Fuzhou have more time?"
Zeng Yudao: "Students are exempted from corvee service when they enter school. They can travel three more times for the three-year examination, and it will not be difficult for 400 miles. It is better than looking forward to the grandmaster not coming."
Huang Tixue laughed and nodded, "This is also a temporary solution, it's all." It was convenient for the three prefectures of Yuanzhou, Linjiang and Fuzhou to be held in Linjiang Prefecture on November 15th.
Huang Tixue and his party stayed in Anfu County for half a month. On the third day of November, they set off again in Fenyi. They were preparing to take a boat to Linjiang Prefecture to manage Qingjiang City through Yuanshui. On the evening of the fourth day of the lunar month, they arrived at Qianshan Town, Fenyi County for a night of rest. The next day, the magistrate of Fenyixu had prepared two official boats to wait. Zeng Yu was on the shore and bid farewell to Huang Tixue. Dr. Xue accompanied Huang Tixue to Qingjiang City. Huang Tixue's disease needs long-term treatment. He must take a pulse every three days in the past month, and add and reduce medicine from time to time.
Huang Tixue knew that Zeng Yu was a companion to Yan Shifan's son in Fenyijieqiao Village, and he didn't say anything. He just told Zeng Yu to rush back to Xinzhou Prefecture to govern Shangrao before the tenth day of December. The Xinzhou Science and Technology Examination is tentatively scheduled to be held in mid-December, and the examination will be merged with Raozhou and Jianchang Prefectures--
Huang Tixue and Zeng Yu have been together day and night for the past ten days, and often ask Zeng Yu questions about the classics. Zeng Yu's analysis is accurate, his discussion is clear and clear, not pedantic, not sticky, and he is elegant and upright. Huang Tixue appreciates Zeng Yu very much and told Zeng Yu that Wang Fenshou might conduct a re-examination on him because of the extraordinary admission matter, so that Zeng Yu can prepare for the extraordinary admission. This is really a lot of resistance.
Zeng Yu was not afraid of the re-examination of the Mo Censor Wang Zongmu, because he knew quite well about the censor Wang Zongmu. Wang Zongmu was the previous deputy envoy of Daotitian School in Jiangxi. Three years ago, Zeng Yu met Wang Zongmu during the Xinzhou Prefecture Trial. He was a square and honest elder. Wang Zongmu built Wang Yangming Temple, Huaiyu Academy, and Bailudong Academy in Jiangxi, and personally taught and answered questions for students. Jiangxi Juzi's victory in Jiwei Test in the 38th year of Jiajing, and Wang Zongmu's supervisor was indelible.
The old poem Xie Zhen and Wang Zongmu have a good relationship. I mentioned it last time in front of Zeng Yu. I wonder if Xie Zhen had stayed in Nanchang on his way to Nanjing with Lin Run to visit Wang Zongmu. If he met Wang Zongmu, he would definitely say goodbye to Zeng Yu.
Zeng Yugong sent Huang Tixue on board, watching the two official boats flowing under the dense clouds. The north wind was cold and standing on Wannian Bridge, the wind was coming from all sides. The thick and warm cocoon silk mattress could not resist the cold wind. I felt the coldness all over my body. Zeng Yu collapsed his waist and picked up the book of books. He walked across Wannian Bridge alone. He met the manager of Jichang Garden on the street in Fenyi County. He learned that Yan Shifang had returned to Fenyi the day before yesterday.
Zeng Yu politely refused to send him to the policeman in a carriage. He rushed to Jieqiao twenty miles away with his books on his back. Outside Fengshu Bay, he saw a baby girl returning from Yuqingtang from school. Yan Ci Ding was escorting him. The cold winter moon was cold. The baby girl was wearing a light green jacket and skirt, combed in a private family's hair bun, bright eyes and white teeth, and graceful-
"Mr. Zeng is back"
The baby's eyes are colorful, with shyness in joy, and her gentle and delicate appearance is extremely charming.
Zeng Yu Xiang Yingzi briefly talked about his experience on this trip, and while sending her to the one-plank bridge, he saw Lu Miaoxiang, who had a round hat and black robe, was already waiting on the other side of the bridge. When they met, they were speechless and nodded to greet him.
Returning to Jieqiao Village, Zeng Yu went to Ruizhu Hall to meet Yan Shifang. Yan Shifang heard Zeng Yu talk about Huang Tixue’s recent situation and praised Zeng Yu for his kindness to repay his teacher. He also said: “Since the examination is scheduled to be held in Qingjiang City on the 15th of this month, I will leave from Fenyi on the 12th. The joint examination of the three governments will take more time to mark the papers, but I will definitely be able to come back before the end of the month. Zeng Sheng will teach me at Yuqing Hall and return home when I come back. You have horses to travel a hundred miles a day, and you should be able to return to Shangrao in ten days. If I have something to delay and have not come back before the 28th, Zeng Sheng will be on his own way.”
