Scholar joke

In this world, what I fear most is a poor word. Because once people are poor, friends are far away, relationships are weak, and the world is cold.

From then on, you can't see the enthusiasm of others, feel the warmth of society, and even your blood relatives will draw a line with you and make a clean break.

These words, such as supercilious look, indifference, ridicule, ridicule, falling when someone is down, etc., will cross you like a knife in an instant, leaving you black and blue.

In this regard, Degang Guo has a deep understanding, so he said: "The poor stand on the cross street and play with ten steel hooks, but they can't hook their loved ones; The rich hide in the deep forest, dancing with knives and guns, and can't disperse friends. "

Profound and true, because this is human nature.

However, in the face of this situation, what should we do? Can you only let the cold knife cut yourself black and blue?

Later, I read The Scholars, in which a teacher in her sixties, Zhou Jin, was about to be buried. Even a scholar has never won. He was laughed at, insulted and snubbed all his life, but he never gave up, and finally went through hardships to change his destiny and was respected.

So I seem to have found the answer to the question from him.

During the Chenghua period, there was a teacher named Zhou Jin in Wenshang County, Shandong Province. He is over 60 years old and has participated in the imperial examination all his life, but even a scholar has not been admitted. It can be said that his life was eventful.

Later, Gu Laoxianggong in the yamen invited him to teach at home, but his luck didn't change. Only in the third year, Gu Lao's youngest son was admitted to a scholar. He finally saw a glimmer of light in the gloomy life.

But this incident did not change the eyes of other people who laughed at him, because there is a saying that this scholar is "poor scholar, poor scholar." Look at this poor Zhou Jin, but he is not even a scholar.

The most insulting thing to Zhou Jin is Xue Jiaji of Wenshang County. On that day, Xue Jiaji's people hosted a banquet for Zhou and asked him to come to the village to give lessons to the children.

On that day, Zhou Jin was wearing an old dress with broken sleeves and an old felt hat. He walked up to Xue Jiaji, his face was black and thin, and his beard was gray. At that time, people heard dogs barking outside and knew that Zhou Jin had arrived, so everyone got up to meet them.

However, one person did not move in his seat until everyone welcomed Zhou Jin into the room, and he slowly stood up to meet Zhou Jin. This man's name is Mei Jiu, a contemporary scholar of Gu. Today, he is here with him.

After entering the room, Zhou Jin asked everyone, "Who is this" xianggong "?" They all said, "This is Xiang Gong Mei of Xiang, and we collect it."

Hearing this, Zhou Jin was self-effacing at once, but did not dare to accept Mei Jiu's bowing. So everyone advised: "In terms of age, you are the oldest, so please don't give up."

As a result, Mei Jiu immediately turned around and explained to everyone: "You don't know the rules of our school. Old friends never talk to young friends."

As soon as this was said, everyone heard it. Mei Jiu was deliberately sarcastic. So what does Mei Jiu mean by that sentence?

It turns out that according to the etiquette of the Ming Dynasty, everyone in the college called each other friends, and those who failed the exam were called Xiaoyou. Sequential teeth refer to the size sorted by age.

In other words, no matter how old you are, as long as you are not a scholar, you are a small partner in the college, and those scholars, no matter how young, boys and girls have to call them old friends. However, Mei Jiu pointed out directly that the purpose was to embarrass Zhou Jin in front of everyone, show off his talent and laugh at Zhou Jin's pain.

To this, Zhou Jin is not annoyed, maybe he is used to it, maybe he is numb, or he is helpless. He silently obeyed everyone's wishes, was bowed by Mei Jiu, and then sat in the first place, Mei Jiu sat in the second place, and the others sat down in turn.

Soon, the dining table was filled with pig heads, cocks, carp, ducks, livers, intestines and so on. However, in the middle of eating, everyone found that something was wrong. I saw that Zhou Jin, who was sitting at the head, had never moved chopsticks from the beginning.

So Shen Xiangfu, the person in charge, asked, "Why didn't Mr. Wang move chopsticks today? Is it because the food tastes wrong that he deliberately blames us? " He said, just pick it up and pass it to me.

Zhou Jin stopped him: "To tell you the truth, when my mother was seriously ill, I made a promise to Guanyin Bodhisattva that I would only eat vegetarian food in the future, and I have been eating it for more than ten years now."

Mei Jiu, who was sitting in the second seat, smiled and said, "I think of a joke. I heard a case in my city, an ancient "xianggong", saying that there was a poem of one to seven words, which talked about the truth of being a man. Stay overnight, be a scholar, eat a long meal, have a beard full of cheeks, have not opened the scriptures, arrange your own paper and pens, and come uninvited next year. "

Mei Jiu finished reading the poem and said in a strange voice, "A great talent like Brother Zhou can't stay. Scholar, that means heaven. But this is a long-term meal, and the beard has grown long, and I actually said it! "

Say and mei nine smiled, and they followed mei nine smiled. On the other hand, Zhou Jin's face changed. He smiled awkwardly, but he didn't seem to smile. Because Zhou Jin knew that the joke in plum wine mouth was himself.

Shen Xiangfu, the person in charge, quickly offered a glass of wine to Mei Jiu, saying, "Mei Xianggong wants to propose a glass of wine to Mr. Zhou, and Gu Xianggong's teacher is Mr. Zhou."

In fact, Mei Jiuming knew that the poem of one word to seven words was about Zhou Jin in front of him, but he also said that you were in your sixties, and you couldn't even win a scholar. I'm not laughing at you. Who am I laughing at?

After listening to Shen Xiangfu's reminder, Mei Jiu deliberately pretended not to know, and then continued to perform, saying, "It's time to punish, it's time to punish. I really didn't know this was Brother Zhou. After all, it says that he is a scholar. "

After Zhou Jin listened, his heart ached again. He thought he was almost buried and didn't get a scholar. He was not only caught up by his younger generation, but also ridiculed and sarcastic. I want to refute a few words, but I feel sorry for myself. I have to point at them when I eat, and my heart is sad.

Looking up at Mei Jiu, he continued, without stopping or giving up. Mei Jiu added, "In fact, eating Dragon Zhai is also a good thing. The year before last, my mother-in-law also ate Longzhai, but when she entered school, the teacher gave her a piece of diced bacon. Grandma said that saints will care if they don't eat diced bacon. The big one is disaster and the small one is disease. So the mother-in-law had to open a long fast. Brother Zhou, there will be bacon delivered this autumn. "

After Mei Jiu finished, everyone picked up their glasses and echoed, saying that Teacher Zhou would be able to go to high school soon this year, and congratulated him in advance today. Zhou Jin's face was black and blue after hearing this. He wanted to find a place to drill down. However, in order to keep the museum gold for the next year, he had to raise his glass again and again.

A person's strong start is to bow down for life, bend down for life, compromise for a meal, and do his best for a dream.

Because Zhou Jin understood, Zhou Jin endured.

After dinner that day, Zhou Jin received a down payment and lived in Kannonji to teach the children. Those children, born clumsy and mischievous, are as stupid as stupid cows. As long as Zhou Jin couldn't stand it, they would sneak out to fight, which forced Zhou Jin to control his temper and teach him a lesson carefully. Unconsciously, two months have passed.

On this day, Zhou Jin had lunch, and it began to rain, and it rained harder and harder. Soon, a boat came from the upper reaches of the river in the distance, and a group of people went down to Kannonji to take shelter from the rain. The first one, wearing a square towel and luxuriously dressed, is about 30 years old.

Seeing this, the monk in Kannonji hurried out to pay his respects and said to him, "This is Uncle Wang, a juren who has been in prison for a long time. Please sit with Mr. Zhou for a while and I'll pour the tea. "

The king was not humble, so he sat down casually, asked Zhou Jin's name, said he knew, and started chatting.

Zhou Jin said: "Mr. Wang Lao's Zhu Juan is familiar to his late students, especially the last two paragraphs, which are particularly exquisite."

Wang said modestly, "I didn't actually write the last two paragraphs."

Zhou Jin asked doubtfully, "Mr. Wang is too modest. You didn't do those two paragraphs. Who can do this? "

The king said to him, "I didn't do those two paragraphs, nor did anyone do them." Strange to say, it was almost the ninth day. I didn't even finish my first article, so I wondered. I usually write the fastest. Why am I late today? Just thinking like this, I took a nap when I was sleepy. Guess what happened later? "

Zhou Jin replied, "I don't know if I was born late."

Wang went on to say, "As soon as I closed my eyes that day, I saw five blue-faced people jumping into the number. One of them took a large sum of money and ordered some on my head. Immediately, another man with a gauze hat, a red robe and a gold belt came in and patted me and said, "Please get up, maharaja!"! I was shocked and sweaty. I woke up and turned around, unconsciously picked up a pen and wrote the last two paragraphs. Gong Yuan is a ghost. "

Zhou Jin was listening to the excitement. A student was holding a homework to be approved, and Zhou Jin put it aside. And next to the king, he inadvertently glanced at the name, suddenly turned around and was taken aback. I saw the word Xun Jiu written on the paper. By this time, Wang's face was grotesque.

When Zhou Jin saw it, he was embarrassed to ask, so he finished his homework first. After a while, he asked Wang, "How old are you?"

Zhou Jin said, "I am seven years old this year."

The king said to him, "I'll tell you a joke. On the first day of the first month of this year, I dreamed of the exam list. Not only did I win, but I also saw another name on the list at that time. He is also a native of Wenshang County, and his name is Xun Jiu. Now it seems that I can't be on the same list as a pupil. It seems that this dream is not accurate. " Say it and smile.

Hearing this, Zhou Jin retorted, "Mr. Wang, this dream is also accurate. I ate here two months ago. Mei Jiu, a scholar in New China, said that before he became a scholar, he had a dream on the first day of the first month. He dreamed that a bright red sunset was on his head, so he made great achievements this year. "

Wang said to him, "His words are even more inaccurate. Think about it, all his literati have a bright red sunset, so I can't let the sky fall for me? "

After listening to Zhou Jin, I suddenly understood that what Mei Jiu said at the dinner table that day was probably teasing herself, bullying herself that she didn't go to school and didn't know what was inside, and then she made up a bunch of lies for herself to believe, blaming her mistakes on not dreaming.

The next morning, the sky cleared up and Wang left, leaving behind bones and leftovers. Zhou Jin was dizzy, like a walking corpse, cleaning all morning.

Since then, the words of Xun Jiu and Wang Tongbang have spread and been regarded as a laughing stock by everyone. The angry squire, father Xun, is hard to distinguish. The children also changed their names and called Xun Jiu "Xun Jinshi".

Shen Xiangfu also said to everyone behind the scenes, "It didn't come from Wang himself. Obviously, Zhou Jin saw that only old Xun had money in our collection and deliberately said these words to flatter him so that the Xun family could give him two more pieces of silver. "

As a result, Zhou Jin's reputation in the village plummeted, and no one liked him any more. However, Zhou Jin was recommended by Xia Zongjia, a police officer in the yamen, and everyone could not refute Xia Zongjia's face, so they had to mix in the village for a year.

Later, Xia Zongjia also felt that Zhou Jin was a fool, and he didn't know how to show filial piety at ordinary times, so he asked everyone to resign Zhou Jin.

Really answered the words in "Cold Kiln Fu": "Dragons don't meet, fish and shrimp swim, gentlemen lose time, villains surrender."

It is said that after Zhou Jin resigned, life became more difficult.

One day, his sister Zhang Jinyou came to see him and advised him, "Uncle, don't blame me for talking about you. It's hard for you to study for fame. In this world, it is rare to have this bowl of ready-made rice. When did you become like this? I've met several rich people now, and I need a bookkeeper to purchase goods in the provincial capital. How can you eat less if you don't walk like me? "

After hearing what Zhou Jin said, he was silent for a long time. He thought, "I'm like a paralytic falling into a well-fishing is sitting", but he didn't like him leaving, so he had a meal. Zhou Jin agreed at once and went with her sister Zhang Jin.

That day, Zhou Jin had nothing to do in the provincial capital, went out for a stroll, and met craftsmen one after another, saying that he was going to repair Hiram's Hospital. So Zhou Jin followed him to the door of Hiram Hospital and wanted to go in and have a look. As a result, the doorman waved a big whip and pulled it out.

In the evening, Zhou Jin told his brother-in-law Jin Youyou that he had to go in and have a look. Jin Youyou had no choice but to spend a few pennies to go with a group of guests.

At this time, the host led the way to the door. The host pointed and said, "Zhou Jiabin, this is. Go in and see for yourself. "

When Zhou walked to the door, he saw two plates, neatly placed. He felt his eyes sour, sighed and bumped into the plate, stiff and unconscious.

At that time, they also panicked and didn't know what to do. The host said, "I think it's because no one has come to this courtyard for a long time, and the yin is heavy, so all the guests in Zhou are evil."

Jin Youyou said, "Xiandong, I'll hold him. Give him hot water at the place where you go to work."

Soon, hot water was served, and three or four people helped Zhou Jin drink it, only to see Zhou Jin spit out a thick mouthful of saliva and wake up. Everyone is happy to see that it is good. Without a sound, Zhou Jingang got up, looked at the number plate and smashed it. This time, he was not in a coma, but began to cry.

They couldn't help it, but Jin Youyou said, "Don't you think this is crazy? Come and play in Hiram Hospital. Your family is not dead. What are you crying like this? "

Zhou Jin couldn't hear either, but he kept crying at the license plate. I cried on the 1st, cried on the 2nd, cried on the 3rd, cried on the 4th, rolled around and cried, which made everyone very sad.

Seeing that this is not a problem today, he and another person are holding his arm. But Zhou Jin refused to stand up and cried for a while until blood came out of his mouth.

As soon as they saw him, too many cooks quickly carried him out, sat down in a tea shed in front of Hiram Hospital and brought him a bowl of tea. After that, Zhou Jin cried alone and felt sad.

One of the guests said, "What's so sad about Zhou's guests? Why did you come here and cry so much? "

Jin Youyou sighed. "Many old customers don't know that my uncle is not a businessman. Because of decades of hard study, the scholar has never done any of them. Today, I feel sad when I look at this yard. "

Because of this sentence, Zhou Jin hit the nail on the head, so he ignored everyone and burst into tears again.

Another guest said, "We are the only ones to blame for this. Since Zhou Xianghong is a gentle man, why take her out to do such a thing? "

Jin Youyou said, "I can't help it. He was poor and had no museum to do, so he didn't embark on this road. "

Another guest said, "Look at your uncle's conditions. He must have a good talent in his heart."

Jin Youyou said: "He is talented, but he is unlucky to be in this situation."

The guest said, "Guo Jianzi can also enter the arena. Since Zhou Xiang is a public talent, why not donate one of his Guo Jianzi to the arena? If you win, you will not be worried about today. "

Jin Youyou said, "I thought so, too, but where is this money going?" Zhou Jin also stopped crying at this moment.

The guest said, "It's not difficult. My brothers are all here now, and each of them will borrow dozens of taels of silver from Zhou Xianghong to enter the DPRK. If he were an official, he would pay us back. Even if Zhou Xianghong doesn't pay us back, we tramps won't break a few taels of silver anywhere! Besides, it's a good thing. What do you think? "

Everyone said with one voice, "A gentleman wants the beauty of an adult." He added, "This is because we don't have the courage to be just people. What do we refuse? We just doubt that the Zhou Xiang Association will bow down? "

Zhou Jin said, "If so, you will be reincarnated as parents, and I will become a donkey and horse every week to wait on you." After that, Zhou Jin climbed to the ground and kowtowed several times, and everyone quickly reciprocated.

There is a saying in Journey to the West: "The mountain height has its own passenger road, and the water depth has its own ferryman." And Zhou Jin this opportunity, finally, by the evil people boil out of the head, the poor man saw the light, like carp yue longmen-just a jump.

The next day, all the guests really collected more than 200 taels of silver and gave it to today. As soon as I got the money, I began to do it.

At that time, it was the time for the master to record his legacy, so Zhou Jin took the opportunity to record a imperial academy diploma, which was equivalent to the status of a scholar, and he could directly take part in the provincial examination.

On the eighth day of August, the exam begins. When Zhou Jin entered the hospital in Hiram at that time, he was overjoyed to see that his position was exactly where he had cried. I thought I was lucky this time.

After sitting quietly in the examination room, Zhou Jin picked up a pen and ink and immediately wrote it down magnificently on the examination paper. The last few articles are like flowers. By the date of publication, Jin Zhou really won the prize.

At that time, everyone was happy, packed up and returned to Wenshang County with Zhou Jin. When Zhou Jin entered the county seat, he met his parents, teachers and county magistrate for the first time. Others also came to congratulate Zhou Jin.

Whether you know it or not, whether you are familiar with it or not, everyone is here. Even Shen Xiangfu, who once spoke ill of Zhou Jin behind his back, collected money from Xue Jiaji and bought four chickens and fifty eggs to celebrate Zhou Jin.

In the Book of Changes, there is a cloud: "Those who are noble and lowly save it."

This position refers to both time position and orientation. In fact, Zhou Jin is still the same Zhou Jin, but because of his high position, he has become a noble man.

After that, Zhou Jin rose to the top. With today's help, Zhou Jin went to Kyoto to take the exam. As a result, he was a scholar in high school and was the top three in the temple.

Three years later, Zhou Jin was promoted to the imperial history, and then he was appointed to study Taoism in Guangdong. It's really a turn of fortune, and it's going up step by step.

At this time, Zhou Jin, wearing a robe and a gold belt, became famous and admired. The most commendable thing is that after Zhou Jin succeeded, he never forgot his roots.

That day, when Zhou Jin was presiding over the exam, he saw a sallow and emaciated boy with a gray beard coming. /kloc-In the winter of October/February, he was shivering with cold in a rags. That dress was rotten, but it tore a few pieces in room 1, which was very pitiful. When asked about his age, the candidate was 54 years old.

Zhou Jin couldn't help feeling that he had spent countless days and nights in that small room, but he still didn't see the dawn. Now that I have the ability, I can't let the talents of those poor people be buried any more.

After that, Zhou Jin had kung fu, so he carefully corrected the man's test paper. After reading it, he was amazed. It's really a masterpiece between heaven and earth. It's really a word. Then, with a stroke of a pen, Zhou Jin filled in the first place. This lucky guy is the golden fan that we are familiar with. But he is a scholar this time and hasn't arrived yet.

Ah Lai said: "From the perspective of human nature, the progress of history is not great."

When you are down and out, ridicule, supercilious look and ridicule will come at you. Zhou Jin used to be like this, and you are like this now, because this is human nature.

When you are embarrassed, please be patient, be patient and be patient again. Only when we have tasted the sufferings of the world can we slowly smell the sweetness of Li Chuntian.

Similarly, when you succeed, please don't forget those people who always refuse to leave when you are in trouble and want your help, because these people are your most sincere friends.
