119 Night Reading
My joy is beyond words. was already very familiar with Wei Huan, but on this day, like a new friend, he talked about it, and when it came to the rise, he put his shoulders and arms, and Wei Huan never pushed back. The joy in my heart was even higher, and I wished that I was not a person, but a belt, a handkerchief, or something like that, and that she would be with me for a long time. It's hateful that there is only one day off, and most of this day has passed, and it doesn't take long to stay at night, and the palace people who come and go urge: "It's time for the lady to sleep." I had to stuff my head on the bed and fell down, thinking that there was no her by the bed, but it was more lonely than when she didn't let go of her mouth before, and I tossed and turned over for a night, I got up late in the morning, went to school late, and was sleepy, I hadn't started speaking, I had yawned a few times, Miao Shenke's face was not good-looking, I was going to teach "Eight Hundred", I had read through it in advance, and the difficult words had already been asked to people, but he chose a paragraph from the back "Gongye Chang" for me to read - "Zai Yu sleeps, Zi said: rotten wood can not be carved, and the wall of dung cannot be enclosed." After reading it, he deliberately asked me, "Does the princess know what it means?"
Although I didn't learn this paragraph, I had heard people mention it in my previous life, so I said, "I know." ”
He was not surprised to know that I had gone to school in the inner court before, and squinted his eyes and said, "Then ask the princess to solve a certain problem." ”
I sat up straight and said aloud, "This man sleeps during the day, and Confucius teaches him that he must not be edified. Seeing Miao Shenke smiling at his beard, he also looked at him with a smile: "But I think that if the rotten wood is burned to ashes, mixed with the soil, and then tamped, it is also a good wall, a wall of dung, dry and scrape off the dust, brush it a few times, and it can always be used." Zai Yu is also a Confucian sage now, so it can be seen that there is still something to teach in the end. ”
Miao Shenke was refuted by me, but he was not angry, but the female official standing next to him coughed, I remembered that Confucius is still not very good at criticizing these days, and hurriedly added: "The first saint is benevolent and generous, with this word, it is naturally not a temporary thing, it must be that this slaughter often does something disappointing, and the first saint is angry, so he has this word." Our juniors should take this as a warning. After speaking, I saw that the female official regained her stone-like look, stuck out her tongue, and asked Miao Shenke: "Master Miao, are you still learning from here today, or are you learning from before?" The so-called "learning" is just me reciting it here, and when I am familiar with it, he will explain it. Among my masters, only Miao Shenke likes to listen to the class, because of his every explanation, from the ancient ancestors to the customs of the previous dynasties, the side of the collection and quotation, said very vividly, such as "learn and learn when to learn" these five words, ask me to explain, I at most on a sentence "learn but not learn to forget", there is no more. He will start from "The Yellow Emperor was born a god, weak and able to speak." Young and follow, long and dunmin", said that the "emperor" is to reach the will of heaven, and then said that we are born as mortals, not as good as the gods of the Yellow Emperor, can not reach the will of heaven, so we still have to learn, scholars are not stubborn, to have a law, what is this law? is to "practice", and "practice" is not only in the mouth, but also in the heart, such as the gentleman's morality, should always remember, everywhere to practice the rules, such as Zengzi's "three times a day to save my body", is the law of the time to learn - this is excellent, but can not stand him to talk for a morning. Nowadays, as in the past, I had to visit my parents at noon every day, and it was not the kind of warm conversation that I had before, but I asked the deacon in front of the temple for food and drink according to certain procedures, and after asking questions, my father and mother stopped me for a question, and sometimes I took two sentences, and it was time for the afternoon class. The morning did not finish the study to the afternoon, the afternoon did not finish the study to the evening, the words that should be memorized in the evening can only be left until the evening, I have no time with Ah Huan at all, I really like it, and I don't like this way of class, when he goes to class, he always urges him "What about the next?"
However, Miao Shenke didn't understand my thoughts at all, and stroked his already smooth beard several times before he smiled slowly: "How much did the princess learn the Analects in the past?"
I shook my head and said, "It's all just by accident that I heard someone mention it, and I remember these two sentences - no matter how much I learn, it's not as good as what you teach, master, just say where to learn." ”
Miao Shenke just laughed, and said after a while: "I thought that there would be no need to take classes like this in the future." ”
My heart tightened, I knelt up straight, and was just about to make amends to him, but he loosened his beard, walked to my case, and bent down to look at me: "Today, the princess endorses herself, from 'Eight Dances in the Court' to 'How do I look at it', and I ask the female history to explain the meaning of the scriptures to the princess, and tomorrow the princess will give a lecture to a certain person." ”
The so-called lectures, but at this time the general law, the students learned a certain level, then to the teachers to explain the meaning of the scriptures, some discussions, we, the princes and grandchildren, except for the prince since the age of five to the students and ministers of the country, the rest of the people at the age of fifteen or sixteen began to lecture - at least to learn a scripture, before they dare to make a big discussion, Miao Shenke gave me a few months of lessons, the "Analects" only to solve the tithe, so I was asked to lecture, most of them did not have good intentions.
Cold sweat broke out on my forehead, and I said tremblingly, "Master... I was wrong, and I won't dare to be late again in the future. I... I was a shallow learner, and I didn't dare to explain the meaning of the scriptures casually. ”
Miao Shenke knew at a glance what I was worried about, and said with a smile: "I just think that with the progress of the princess, there is no need to waste time reciting and correcting the sound, so in another way, there is no need to extend it like this, just say your thoughts and see the princess's opinions, not a punishment, the princess rest assured." ”
I saw that he didn't look suspicious, so I breathed a sigh of relief, but I was still afraid of him, so I hurriedly flattered: "The master called me Erniang." Above the school, there is only master and apprentice, and there is no distinction between dignity and inferiority. ”
Miao Shenke was also not polite, so he said: "Erniang endorses it." "Go outside, leave me inside.
At this time, I had the time to read all the chapters and sentences he said, more than 20 chapters, just hundreds of words, it is not very difficult to memorize, if you can understand the literal meaning regardless of the deep meaning. But I'm still afraid that he will take the opportunity to retaliate, and he is bent on speaking brilliantly, but this is a little difficult - the twenty-six chapters of this volume are all about etiquette, and Miao Shenke asked me to talk about it, and it must be about "etiquette". The two of the Wang family have no such knowledge, Pei Lansheng is barely feasible, but he is too square, most of them are unwilling, Cui Mingde is outside the palace, or only looking for Wei Huan, but if you want her to stay up late to do things for me, it is better for me to come by myself, after all, she has a lot of things to be busy during the day, and it is not good to bother her at night - no, we don't get along much now, isn't it just right to ask her to accompany me to study? After washing, I seemed to think of this, and I was anxious to urge someone to study ink and take books for me, and Wei Huan was not allowed to leave, Wei Huan saw that I was so anxious, and he said first: "What did the master order, to make the lady anxious like this? ”
I deliberately said in front of several palace people: "I have ordered a lot, I don't know what to do, you come and think about it for me, otherwise he will sue Aye tomorrow, what can I do?" and beat his palm: "It's amazing, it's amazing, don't think about sleeping this night - you go first, Ah Huan stays, accompany me to read, and grant you a day off tomorrow." ”
Wei Huan and several palace people were frightened by me, and sure enough, they lit a few big candles, and brought some fruit and tea, and several palace people sat respectfully outside the hall, not allowing anyone to make noise to me, Wei Huan asked cautiously: "What is it, if you want to write, or make a decision, as long as I can do it, you can go to sleep by yourself, I will write it for you." ”
I shook my head and said, "I want to give a lecture, and I will talk about a volume of the Analects." ”
Wei Huan tilted his head to look at me in shock.
When I saw the look on her face, I actually had a little boastful heart, and said with a puffed chest: "Master Miao said that I learn quickly, I can already lecture, and after speaking a few times, I can learn the scriptures again, and within a few years, I will be able to understand all five classics, and my knowledge will never be inferior to Liulang." ”
Wei Huan smiled and shook his head, "You can deal with tomorrow first." Which volume do you want to talk about? I vaguely remember that you only studied one volume? Is it "For the Government" or "Eight Hundred Words"? In the case of "For the Government", there are ready-made good things to say, starting with Your Majesty's compassion for the people, and it is enough to say a few words about benevolence, fathers and sons, and monarchs and ministers. "Eight Hundreds" is a ceremony, it is better to start with the sacrifice, the major affairs of the country, in Rong and worship, hmm, the saint and His Majesty don't want to enshrine Mount Tai? You can talk about this, Your Majesty will be happy to know about it--what's wrong with you?"
I had already lost my temper by her, and said wiltedly: "Ah Huan, are you really only two years older than me? Don't you be a spirit who makes up a young lady, in fact, you are already one hundred and fifty years old, right?"
She stretched out her hand and patted me, "I'm a spirit, so I'll eat you, so you don't have to think about messy things all day long, and do nothing but make fun of me!"
I raised my arm and said with a smile: "You are really willing, what if you eat it?" I'm afraid you won't be willing to give it up. ”
She gave me a white look, and I was so excited that I even dreamed of the whites of her eyes one night. 166 Reading Network
