In the Liang Family Hall.
Old Minister Zhu looked at Liang Shanbo with admiration.
"This child has a carefree expression and has a good atmosphere.”
"I originally thought that it would be difficult for a low-class aristocrat like the Liang family to produce outstanding talents, but just by looking at this child's appearance, he is already a dragon among men.”
"What's even rarer is that…at such a young age, you already have such resourcefulness.”
"In time, his achievements will be immeasurable!”
He recalled what Zhu Yingqi had told him about Liang Shanbo and couldn't help but feel shocked.
His heart was racing.
However, Minister Zhu's expression remained unchanged. He nodded slightly and smiled,"Nephew Liang, please sit."
"Yes."
Liang Shanbo cupped his hands and accepted.
The host and guest sat down, and the old councilor asked about Liang Shanbo's family background and recent situation.
"Your father was originally the county magistrate of Shanyin County. Due to his great contribution in controlling the flood, the imperial court appointed him as the prefect. Later, he fell ill and took up his post.”
When he heard that Liang Shanbo's father was Liang Wenshan, who had made great contributions in the flood-control, the old councilor Zhu said with emotion.
His words were filled with admiration.
Although Liang Wenshan was only a prefect back then, he was nothing to the Zhu family.
But back then, there was a flood in Shanyin and a plague fell from the sky, causing half of Kuaiji to suffer.
Even Shangyu was affected.
If Liang Wenshan had not personally gone to the front line of the flood to clean up the waterway, the entire Kuaiji would have suffered heavy losses.
Although the aristocratic families looked down on those who did things, they thought that this was a dirty and common thing.
However, the gentry clans still acknowledged achievements such as harnessing water, reviving the people, and educating them.
After all.
Yu the Great was also a flood-control expert.
After that, there was Sun Shu 'ao from the Spring and Autumn Period, Ximen Bao from the Warring States Period, Li Bing and his son from the Qin Dynasty, and Wang Jing from the Eastern Han Dynasty.
Most of them were famous for controlling water or related to it.
It was strange.
Since ancient times, the Confucians and scholars were very passionate about dealing with floods.
Even the ability to rectify and sort out the water situation was also used as an assessment standard for whether or not one was capable of being an official.
Therefore, he had no choice.
When Liang Wenshan mentioned flood-control, even Old Minister Zhu was filled with respect.
"You praise me too much, Duke Zhu. I really don't deserve it!”
Liang Shanbo revealed a nostalgic expression,"Speaking of my father, I don't have much of an impression of him. Ever since my father entered the government, he rarely returned home.”
"I know about my father's deeds through my mother and the surrounding villagers.”
In fact, in the memories he obtained.
Even the original owner had very little impression of Liang Wenshan. The only impression she had was that her father was very strict and cared a lot about Liang Shanbo's schoolwork.
Every year, after Xiumu returned home, she would take the exam seriously.
Any mistake would be punished.
Therefore, in her memory, the Host feared Liang Wenshan more than she admired him.
However, from his perspective, Liang Wenshan was actually a truly incorruptible official and a very capable official.
If it was in another dynasty.
Even if he couldn't rise to the top, the imperial court would never underestimate such an official. He would definitely leave his name in history.
But unfortunately…
It was the Eastern Jin Dynasty!
It was an era of aristocratic families and the descendants of the gentry.
It was also an era where idle talk became the norm and practical work was despised.
People like Liang Wenshan…were born in the wrong era.
Thinking of this, Liang Shanbo couldn't help but sigh.
He sighed for Liang Wenshan.
In the eyes of Minister Zhu, it was his words that had touched on Liang Shanbo's sadness, so he quickly apologized,"I hope you don't mind me for speaking of my nephew's sad matter rashly.”
"You're too polite, Duke Zhu.”
Liang Shanbo came back to his senses and said with a smile.
The two of them jumped off the topic at the same time.
Old Minister Zhu began to test Liang Shanbo's knowledge.
In this era, the elders always liked to argue for the younger generation.
In fact, it was not just the elders and juniors. Two good friends and even people who had just gotten to know each other would discuss knowledge after the initial exchange of names and family backgrounds.
This was also the fashion of the Eastern Jin Dynasty.
At this moment, a servant had already served tea. Duke Zhu took a sip of tea and began to ask.
In the beginning, the knowledge tested was still relatively shallow, but Liang Shanbo answered easily.
After a while, Duke Zhu gradually became more difficult to ask.
However, Liang Shanbo had already memorized the Four Books and Five Classics of the Confucian school, so it was no problem for him to answer the question.
Therefore, when he answered, he was still graceful and elegant. His words were elegant and could be said to be fluent.
As the head of the Zhu family in Shangyu, he was in charge of the huge Zhu family, so he was naturally knowledgeable.
Not only was the study of Confucius and Mencius profound, but the Dao of Laozi and Zhuangzi was also widely involved.
At this moment, seeing that Liang Shanbo's knowledge wasn't weak, he became even more excited and started to ask about metaphysics.
For example, He Yan, a great master of metaphysics, wrote Dao De Lun and Ji Jie of the Analects of Confucius, as well as Wang Bi's Notes on Lao Zi and Zhouyi.
Although Liang Shanbo hadn't studied these works of metaphysics deeply, he hadn't even read most of them.
However, he was knowledgeable and had extensive knowledge. He used all kinds of knowledge from the future to answer.
Under the guidance of the other side of the book, it can be said that there are many witty words.
For a time, it made the old minister Zhu very happy, and the conversation became more intense.
While they were debating, the other Zhu Family disciples were kneeling and listening.
In the beginning, when they heard Liang Shanbo answer fluently, they were filled with admiration.
But later on, the questions his father asked became more and more difficult, even including profound metaphysics, but Liang Shanbo remained unmoved.
This made the juniors of the Zhu Family dumbfounded.
They knew that their knowledge was not weak.
However, in the past, when faced with his father's debate, he would quickly lose.
As for this Liang Shanbo of Shanyin…
To have such knowledge at such a young age, it was truly admirable.
Zhu Yingqi, Zhu Yingfeng and the rest were all shocked.
Zhu Yingtai, who was sitting at the back of the crowd and dressed as a man, raised his fair neck and stared at the young man who was arguing with his father.
He saw that this beautiful young man's eyebrows were like distant mountains, and his eyes were like paint.
At this moment, he was kneeling and standing upright, like a green pine and bamboo. His demeanor was extraordinary, and his mouth was full of witty words.
For a moment, he was actually mesmerized.
Everything disappeared.
The only thing left in his eyes was the graceful figure of this beautiful young man.
After a round of debate.
It was not until sunset that the candles were lit in the house, and the maid changed the lamp oil three times.
Because of the hunger in their stomachs, the sound of drums rang out. Only then did they suddenly wake up as if they had just woken from a dream.
The old councilor Zhu couldn't help but exclaim happily as he looked at Liang Shanbo, praising the future generations.
Later.
He actually personally invited Liang Shanbo to stay in the Zhu family for a few more days.
Liang Shanbo couldn't back down from her kindness, so he agreed.
This made the old councilor Zhu feel even better. On the way to the dining hall, he even said that he would go on a night trip with Liang Shanbo after dinner.
Hearing this.
Liang Shanbo couldn't help but smile and agree.
