0098 老叟自贱
最新网址：m.ltxsdz.com
负责接待沈家父子的是虞潭之子虞仡，年与沈充相仿，本为郡府司马，年前沈充入主会稽后便弃官归乡，至今不仕。更多小说ltxsba.com
对于这对父子恶客，虞仡心中殊无好感，其本身也是拙于辞令的讷言之人，将人迎入门中后，干巴巴寒暄几句，而后便枯坐在席，望着房门外庭院怔怔出神。既不让人奉茶，也不与沈充交谈，只是视线偶尔扫过沈哲子，便流露出不加掩饰的厌恶。
在别的年代，声望或许只是虚无缥缈的东西，但在时下，却是实实在在的政治资本。去年虞潭清望在吴兴颇受打击，继而波及到整个虞家的名望，今年开春，会稽乡议便有两名虞氏子弟品级黜落。因此，整个虞家对沈哲子都是恨之入骨。
若非其家经术相传，勇武略逊，只怕此刻早有前程被阻的虞家子弟忍耐不住心中恨意，打杀出来。
沈哲子神情倒是与老爹如出一辙，既来之则安之，既然虞仡对他们视而不见，那么他们也就自便了。安坐席上，左顾右盼，望着虞家府内建筑或点头或摇头，似在心中臧否。间或溜达到廊下去，仰头看看虞家庄园中耸立的听潮楼。
这听潮楼不只建筑巍峨，据说内中藏书也极多，号称冠于三吴。这让沈哲子很是意动，心里思忖着要不要把这藏书楼据为己有？不过如此海量藏书，关乎到虞家在学术界的地位，想抢书简直比杀了他们还要无法忍受。
但事在人为，没试过怎么知道做不到？试一试又何妨。
心内正思忖着，便听庭外有人语脚步声，不旋踵，已有一名手提笠帽的麻袍老者步入庭中，正是久未谋面的虞潭。与上次见面相比，虞潭更显清癯老态，足蹬芒鞋，手握竹杖，看上去像是一个乐天知命、飨食自足的乡间渔翁，颇有野外遗贤姿态。
但这样一副清趣朴实的装扮，与这广厦千间的庄园难免有些不相符合。在沈哲子看来，这虞潭去年确实所受打击不轻，以至于归乡后，唯有淡泊以明志，渔樵之乐可遣怀，颇有掩耳盗铃、自欺欺人的意味。
看到廊下站立的沈哲子，虞潭也是微微错愕，心情不乏复杂，以至于整个人反应都慢了半拍。
他已过耳顺之年，本以为自己可不惧物议言非，念头始终通达，但其实做不到。每每午夜梦回，脑海中回荡起少年咄咄逼人的辞令，心情便更加抑郁。偏偏表面上还要做无谓姿态，与人交际淡然以对，心内实则惴惴恐被看轻，令他颇受煎熬。
愣了片刻后，虞潭才将手中笠帽、竹杖递给身后老仆，望着沈哲子微笑道：“我家并无桐枝，竟得雏凤流连，真是意外之喜。”
听到这夸赞，沈哲子却并不高兴，凤雏名者，后汉庞统，可不是长寿之人。老家伙莫非暗讽自己多逞智计，要不得好死？
不过既然决意要缓和矛盾，无论这虞潭真心夸赞还是恶意暗讽，沈哲子都不介怀。说两句又少不了一块肉，假使对方真有恶意，那自己更要长命百岁，气死老家伙！
这时候，房内虞仡和沈充听到声音，也都起身步出房门。沈充立于庭内，对虞潭说道：“我居会稽年余，始终庶务缠身。今日才得暇拜会贤长，还望虞公见谅。”
“使君言重了，我不过乡中一叟，老朽不堪；使君却是国之干臣，身系重任，实在不敢有劳使君问访。”
虞潭与沈充并肩步入房内，看到案上空无一物，便猜到这父子两人在家中遭受冷遇。他眸子一转横了儿子一眼，心中不悦，既然已经将人请入家门，还如此作态，这不是让人益发看轻！
但儿子生性木讷，虞潭也是深知，不便在人前怪咎。只是在看到坐在沈充下首的沈哲子时，心内不禁有些感慨。沈氏一门武夫，何幸养此麟儿！
待虞潭着人奉上茶汤，沈充才又开口道：“今日拜会虞公，实为请罪而来。年前小儿孟浪轻率，以其浅见薄识面忤虞公。我教子无方，使其不习恭顺之义，自恃思捷，多逆长者之教，实在惭愧。”
话一讲出口，坐在另一侧的虞仡顿时怒形于色：“童子劣行，岂独逆教……”
“住口！”
虞潭手拍案几，喝止儿子，旋即再望向沈充，神情不复淡然：“老夫已是耳顺之年，善言恶语，何不可闻？贤长未必无缺，愚夫偶有一得。令郎师出名门，才彰气盛，确令老夫汗颜。往年国运艰难，虽老迈之躯，不能安于室，勉力而为。如今贤能担国之计，俊逸卓然而起。老夫自当倚杖归乡，以避贤路，欣望盛世将至，使君又何出此言？”
虞潭这一番话，看似乐天知命，实则如鲠在喉，颇多激愤，陈情自剖之外，又暗讽国任非人，看来已是抑郁良久，以至于不吐不快。
往年我不辞老迈，匡扶社稷，举义讨逆，如今贤者隐退，谋逆者反居高位，简直岂有此理！我就安坐家中，看这世道怎么大乱！
沈充听完这番话，先是沉吟少许，然后才一指沈哲子：“虞公国之所仰大才，凡人得亲近，皆要倾心受教，相约壮举。如今我有幸与虞公对面而坐，反见疏离，难求一言之教，非你逞才，何至于此！”
按照预先排演的节奏，沈哲子下巴一扬，状似不服：“既为皎皎明珠，本就该悬于明堂，光照时人，岂童子一言而晦之！老叟自贱，甘于蒙尘，自废其才，与我何干！”
