One night, his mother heard an old man say to her in her dream, "Your child's teacher is also called Wang Honghui, who lives in Longmei Village, Ding 'an County, Qiongzhou District. If you want your child to pass the exam, you must go there to find him. "At first, Dong Qichang and his parents didn't believe it. Later, Dong Qichang, who lost the election again, was anxious and decided to go to his teacher Wang Honghui. Dong Qichang crossed mountains and rivers, crossed oceans and experienced hardships before reaching Dingan Dingcheng. After investigation, it was found that there was a Longmei village where he didn't have lunch. He only drank a few glasses of water and rushed to Longmei Village. It's 25 miles from Dingcheng to Longmei Village. When he arrived at Longmei Village, it was dusk, and he happened to meet Honghui's father, Longquan Gong, and the whole family was having dinner. Knowing that a guest was coming, Longquan Gong immediately stopped to entertain. Invite Jichang to dinner again. During the dinner, Ji Chang told the story in detail. When he said that his teacher was Honghui, the whole family burst into laughter, and Longquan Gong immediately winked at everyone to let Dong Qichang finish. Longquan Gong felt something strange at that time, so he pointed to Xiaohong sitting next to Dong Qichang and said, "This is your teacher." . At this time, Hong Hui, who was only 4 years old, heard wrong and immediately stood up and said to Dong Qichang, "The teacher asked the students to worship." Dong Qichang suddenly felt dizzy, stroking Xiaohong's head in the darkness and said, "I thought my teacher was an old man, but I didn't expect it to be you! When you grow up and study, I will be old. " Everyone at the dinner table was full of laughter.
That night, Dong Qichang couldn't sleep. The next morning, he asked Longquan Palace what to do. Seeing that Dong Qichang was a high-spirited and dignified scholar, Longquan Gong said, "If you don't mind, just be their brother's teacher in my house!" This is exactly what Dong Qichang wants. Because he was worshipped by Honghui at the dinner table last night and called him a teacher, he felt very warm. Zi Liyi, the whole family is well, so he promised Longquan Gong.
Since then, Dong Qichang and Wang Honghui have become teachers and students. When Honghui was 4 years old, he was awarded four books and recited them one by one. When I was 5 years old, I read poetry easily and absorbed it. When I was an adult, I was strict and knew it by heart. When I was 6.7 years old, I sought to read classics, as well as Chunqiu and Zuozhuan, in order to clarify my writing style. 8-year-old, a beginner in composition, wrote hundreds of words; When I was 9 years old, I tried it in the county. The language was amazing and the county magistrate rewarded me! In the next eight years, I will be able to teach classics, history and poems of past dynasties and read widely. When I was 20 years old, I went to the province to try to find a way. After Dong Qichang returned to China, Wang Honghui was admitted to Jill Palace at the age of 24 and became the vice president of the senior high school entrance examination at the age of 48. This time, Dong Qichang, the old man, won the second scholar, and later became an official and a prime minister. Zhou, his wife, is from Wenshan Village, Qiongshan County. Dong Qichang once wrote a couplet for the ancestral hall of Wenshan Village: "Suixi Shize, Taishi Family Style". When Wang Honghui became an official, Harry committed a crime and went to prison. Honghui tried his best to protect him, visiting the prison day and night, asking for illness and sending medicine. Later, the Sea Palace was released. Honghui offended traitors and was often looked at and envied by traitors' minions. Hong Hui was fearless and wrote "The Tree of Fire" and "Song of Chun Xue" to mock the traitors.
When Hong Hui was 58, she had to retire. Shortly after returning to China, he advocated the construction of the ancestral temple-Bajiaotang. When the traitor learned that Hiroshi had privately built a sacred house, which looked like a palace from the outside, he immediately sent it to Kyoto and reported it to the emperor. The emperor immediately sent a Commissioner to investigate. The Honghui family panicked and the neighbors fled. Because if this lawsuit is really successful, it will be the crime of "rebellion" and the nine families will copy it. At this time, Honghui looked up at the sky and sighed, "I was born in this troubled times by mistake. The reason why I built the octagonal hall is:' I miss you every day, admire you every night and cherish you forever.' "His little daughter heard this and said," Dad, why don't you show your love for you day and night? "This immediately reminded hong hui. After thinking and thinking, he suddenly raised his hands and said, "OK, that's it. "
A few days later, the county magistrate came to visit and asked, "Some people say that you built the temple privately, and you have the intention of rebellion, right?" Honghui said, "It is true to build a sacred house, but it is false to rebel." The magistrate asked, "How do you understand this statement?" Honghui said, "I cherish you every day, build a sanctuary, and make you worship every day." The magistrate asked, "How do you worship?" Wang Honghui replied: "We can know by observing together." At this time, the court officials also arrived, and Honghui led them to inspect the ancestral temple-Bajiaotang. This octagonal hall looks like a sacred house, with a magnificent appearance and exquisite furnishings. There is a splendid plaque in the main hall with words and letters written on it, and couplets of colleagues and friends are displayed on both sides. Above the gate are brocade books, including: Dongting Qing, Long Zhang Xi Xi, a generation of great men and so on. In particular, there is a main wall 25 feet away from the front of the pavilion door, with portraits of ministers carved in the middle and sticks in their hands. At this time, the county magistrate and the engineering inspector unanimously praised: "Wang Daren really loves you." Later, the traitor who sued the court knew that there was no hope of false accusation, so he changed his attitude and gave a pair of couplets: Fengge Longlou Flower Land, Yutang Jinma Zongfeng. The Wang Ancestral Hall in the village is three big houses, including the main entrance, the middle hall (namely the octagonal hall) and the back hall. There is a gold plaque in front of the hall, which reads: "House of Loyalty and Righteousness", which has its origin story. Chang Yan, the grandson of Honghui, was born in troubled times with sinister officialdom. He gave birth to a foreign minister of the shadow industry department in Texas, but he hates bureaucrats and never says anything about them. After living at home for more than forty years, I didn't care about people, didn't argue with things, compromised things, set up a righteous field, raised my clan, set up a righteous school and educated the country. In times of famine, porridge is cooked to help the poor. If the road is broken and the bridge is broken, it will be repaired, and the neighbors will benefit. At that time, theft could happen at any time, so he donated money to promote righteousness, entered into a rural contract, condensed rural courage, and protected the countryside and the people. This year's years are not good, and the four thieves led the troops to make trouble together, causing a lot of trouble. Chang Yan negotiated with the village elders, donated money to support more than 60 rural soldiers, and joined hands with the county soldiers to crack down on thieves. In June of that year, thieves gathered in Jinjiling North to attack Dingcheng, and Chang Yan immediately led the township soldiers to stop it. In the battle, Chang Yan fought hard and beat off the thieves many times, but in the later stage of the battle, he died among the thieves and soldiers. When the village soldiers have no owner, people are distracted and the thief soldiers take advantage of it. Longmei village was searched for nothing at this time, and the villagers fled in all directions. Set fire to the thief soldiers before withdrawing. At that time, his original wife, Chen, saw that there was only an old mother and a child in her arms at home, and immediately fled the village with her children and mother and went to Dingcheng. In August and September of that year, thieves broke into Dingcheng again, and all the children in Chang Yan fell into the hands of thieves. Mrs. Chen knew it would be difficult to have it both ways this time, so she made the worst plan. It happened that one of the thieves was going to marry Chen. Mrs. Chen pretended to agree and asked, "My whole family is in this city, old and young. My husband just died and is still in mourning. It is not good to marry you now. You'd better drive my whole family out of town, and I'll live with you in the future so as not to gossip. " Li Huahan felt that this statement made sense and secretly drove Mrs. Chen's family away that night. The next morning, Mrs. Chen found that the whole family was out of danger, so she cried bitterly when the thieves and soldiers gathered, and scolded, "My grandfather is a big official, my father is a magistrate, and my husband gave a shadow job, which has been innocent for generations." My husband died at the hands of your thief. I can't wait to take your tendons, skin you, eat your flesh and chew your bones. " Then he bit his tongue, and blood was sprayed on the thief, and he died.
In the sixty-first year of Kangxi (1722), Ding An, a magistrate, sent a special gift: Loyal and Righteous Family, with a postscript and a book.
