2. The squire in Xue Jia Ji discussed holding a Dragon Lantern Festival during the Spring Festival. During the period, it was mentioned that teachers should be invited for children. Xia Zongjia recommended Zhou Jin, who is over 60 years old. At the banquet, Zhou Jin invited Mei Jiu, but as a scholar, Mei Jiu played a trick on Zhou Jin during the dinner, saying that she dreamed of a scholar, which was a good sign.
Wang took shelter from the rain and passed by the school in the village. He also despises Zhou Jin. He also said that he dreamed that Xun Mei, a student from Zhou Jin, was winning a prize, so he was confused. Zhou Jin is very excited. Therefore, the villagers mocked and called Xun Mei "Xun Jinshi", thinking that Zhou Jin did it, and fired Zhou Jin. Zhou Jin and his brother-in-law went to the provincial capital to do business and passed by Hiram's Hospital. He was overstimulated and ran into a wall. This article reflects the phenomenon that scholars despise each other (those with high academic qualifications look down on those with low academic qualifications) and that scholars are mystifying.
3. Zhou Jin's brother-in-law and others took pity on Zhou Jin, and pooled their money to donate a Guo Jianzi to him, so that he could take the exam directly. Later, he was admitted to Jinshi and became a scholar in Guangdong. Jin Fan, a scholar, was admitted because of his pity. Then I was recommended in the exam. Xiangshen Zhang came to make friends, give money and a house. This article embodies the abnormal psychology of literati who are eager to pursue their official career and conform to the trend of the times.
Jin Fan's mother suddenly got a mansion and furniture, and died of excessive excitement. Three years after Jin Fan's mourning, Zhang Jingzhai followed him to Tang Zhi County, Gaoyao County, because the court ordered that the slaughtered cattle and beef could not be eaten.
It happened that the Hui people came to deliver beef, hoping that the magistrate of a county would not strictly enforce the beef ban. Zhang Jingzhai regarded this as an opportunity to "strictly enforce the law in order to get promoted", which led the magistrate to kill the beef delivery man and attracted the siege of the Hui people. This article embodies the sinister scheming of Zhang Jingzhai, an official and gentry, to seize people's fields, make a fortune and achieve the goal of promotion by framing others.
5. After the case of Hui people was handled by the Tang magistrate, two people came to accuse Yan, one accused Yan of robbing other people's pigs, and the other accused Yan of asking for other people's interests. The magistrate ordered the arrest. Yan escaped for fear of sin.
His brother Yan Jiansheng sued for him, paid his own compensation and managed it himself. Later, Yan Jiansheng's wife Wang became seriously ill, and my concubine was helped as the first wife. On the wedding day, Wang died of illness. Later, Yan Jiansheng also died. The article reflects Yan's overbearing, Zhao's calculation and Yan Jiansheng's meanness.
