Chapter IX: Literary Meeting
After breakfast early in the morning, Wang Xiuqing tied her hair, wore a coarse cloth green shirt, and went out to attend the county school meeting.
For him, the Wenhui is no longer a good opportunity to learn, nor is it a place to gain insight and understand this era!
In the Qingwa school building of the county school, the trees are shaded by forests and peonies are everywhere. In the cool room of the courtyard, several teachers sit majestically, or answer scholars' questions, or chant poems against others. There are no neatly arranged tables and chairs, but high-backed chairs, or small couches, on which tea, fruit and snacks are placed for people to teach and students to eat, and several handymen are waiting aside, and the atmosphere is relaxed and peaceful.
Since he came to participate, Wang Xiu let go of his heavy thoughts, but he saw that many Western things in later generations had appeared in the land of China as early as possible, and he felt a little apprehensive. Today's cultural meeting is completely a standard buffet party, but the good traditions are gradually discarded, and the dross is preserved.
Zhong Liqiu, a teacher with a mysterious background, is still the same, he doesn't grind with others at all, an old god is always there, looking at the book in his hand, and when he encounters a scholar who asks him difficult questions, he answers them in a few words.
Everyone respects him very much, but there is a trace of respect and distance, this person's identity is too mysterious, five or six versions are rumored in Shangshui, people can't figure out which one is true, one thing is certain, no one dares to give him face, Zhang Dashan doesn't dare, and the county doesn't dare.
"The grocery stores are half dead, and Wang Dalang actually has the heart to come." Zhang Qiyuan took a sip of tea, and moved his gaze, which was appreciating the poems, to Wang Xiu, who was five steps away, very unkindly, but with a modest smile on his face.
In this literary meeting, he made a lot of money, and his literary style is indeed excellent, he was surrounded by scholars from the beginning, like the stars holding the moon, and even some teaching and learning were put down, and he was kind to him, of course, he had the capital to be proud.
Lu Tianshou on the side did not hide his disdain, and sneered: "He is just indiscriminate, the Wang family is about to fall, and there is no place to eat, I'm afraid that even a martial artist won't be able to do it at that time." ”
Several scholars who were commenting looked at Wang Xiu in unison, their faces quite strange.
Zhang Qiyuan shook his head and said in a low voice: "It's true that Wang Dalang's family is in poverty, but he is also a member of my generation, don't be humiliated." ”
Lu Tianshou was stunned, Zhang Qiyuan, who wanted to seize the Wang family's family business the most, actually refuted him unceremoniously, making him look too bad.
No matter how low the voice is, some people can hear it, especially the word 'counting', which cannot but be said to be extremely subtle, listing Wang Xiu on the fringes of literati and guiding scholars to infinite reverie.
Sure enough, a fat scholar shook his head and said: "Brother Zhang is a true gentleman, he can tolerate that idiot, and the younger brother admires it." ”
Zhang Qiyuan smiled modestly and said softly: "Brother Zhu's words are wrong, if Wang Dalang can turn back, he will be a classmate, how can he be humiliated." ”
Another person shook his head and said sourly: "Brother Gao Yi, quite an ancient gentleman's style." ”
Several people around nodded yes, Zhang Qiyuan had to be gentle and humble, claiming to be vulgar, and did not dare to praise him as a classmate.
Lu Tianshou understood it, and secretly scolded Zhang Qiyuan in his heart, like his father Zhang Wenshan, who was a hypocrite, and he was both a bitch and a memorial arch. However, he could only sneer at it, with an admiring expression on his face, this thing was not something he could afford to provoke.
When his eyes fell on Wang Xiu again, he seemed to be contemplative, and seemed to be in a daze, thinking that his father asked him to deliberately befriend Zhang Qiyuan, and he did not hesitate to lower his figure, and his anger turned to Wang Xiu, and the more he looked at it, the more upset he became. couldn't help but raise his voice and said: "Brother Zhang is an elegant person, and the younger brother is ashamed of himself, but the county is full of heroes, and a nerd who can't even do poetry is here, which is simply insulting." ”
Some of the people who were discussing stopped one after another, looking at Lu Tianshou in surprise, and some clever people glanced at Wang Xiu with strange expressions.
Wang Xiu's eyebrows moved, there was nothing unusual, his attention was focused on Zhong Liqiu, he was very surprised by Zhong Liqiu's profound knowledge, looking at one problem after another, Zhong Liqiu almost opened his mouth within three breaths, there was no problem that could be stumped, he was simply omniscient.
He had a strong interest in Zhong Liqiu, and as for Lu Tianshou's thoughts, he directly ignored them. Yesterday's fifth watch, he came up with a temporary solution, the last bit of industry was taken away, he lost the time to deal with it calmly, then start from another angle, there is a taste of ruin.
He walked lightly to Zhong Liqiu's side, saluted and said, "Sir, if the student has a question, please ask Mr. for advice." ”。
When Zhong Liqiu put down the book, he was surprised to find that it was the Classic of Mountains and Seas, which was a strange thing, and the scholars used it for pastime, but Zhong Liqiu took it to the school and looked at it in a grand manner, which couldn't help but be a little tasteful.
"Tell me about it." Zhong Liqiu saw Wang Xiu staring at the book, his face was in a trance, he couldn't help coughing twice, pointed the pages of the book with his fingertips, and said: "This book is a matter of ancient Datong, but it is a pity that it is taken lightly by the people of the time. ”
"That's what the gentleman said." Wang Xiu couldn't help but break out in a cold sweat, she was so talented! It seems that there is really such a thing, it can be seen that there are many capable people and people with lofty ideals in all dynasties, but they are not in the annals of history.
He suppressed his mind, maintained a humble posture, and said softly: "There is no good and no disgusting body, there are good and malicious movements, knowing good and knowing evil is conscience, and doing evil for good is a good thing." The disciple occasionally felt something, but he was puzzled, and asked Mr. to give advice. ”
Zhong Liqiu's face changed in an instant, and his eyes were firmly fixed on Wang Xiu. After a long time, he said bluntly: "This is your opinion?" ”
Seriously, Wang Xiu really doesn't know much about it, just restoring the original text from memory and trying Zhong Liqiu's water. He smiled indifferently and said, "Heaven has a feeling, and I realized it in a dream." "Joke, this is Wang Shouren, a master of psychology in the Ming Dynasty, an overview of his life's academics, no wonder Zhong Liqiu was surprised, if he still sits firmly on the Diaoyutai, it would be a strange thing.
However, he can't say that I am a traverser, and I am asking you to steal the scholarship of the Ming Dynasty Confucianism. If it had to be said to be embezzlement, he couldn't care about it, because he couldn't fail, he could only go against the wind, completely raise his reputation, and raise it to a hopeful height, in this era of literati supremacy, he could have a glimmer of life.
At that time, he was no longer a down-and-out scholar, no longer a dispensable person, but a promising poor scholar, a strange commodity worth investing in, to be offended to death, and anyone could weigh the consequences, so as to win himself a respite.
To be honest, he was very uninterested in Cheng Yi and Zhu Xi's method of pursuing "truthfulness" in everything and things, and Wang Shouren just criticized Cheng Zhu Lixue. It must be said that it is reasonable to find "reason" from the heart.
This is the first time that Zhong Liqiu did not directly answer the student's question for the first time, and the scholars around Wang Xiu all looked at it in surprise, and Zhang Qiyuan and Lu Tianshou were even more jealous.
"What did you realize in a dream?" Zhongli Qiuwan smiled and said very frankly: "It seems simple and complex, and the meaning is profound, I can't think of it for the time being, and I may be able to give you an answer tomorrow." ”
Several scholars on the side threw their glasses, in their impression, Zhong Liqiu knew everything and knew everything, and they were asked by a nerd who couldn't even do poetry well, and they seemed to be humiliated.
Why not me? Everyone is breeding jealousy, Zhong Liqiu is the mountain in the minds of scholars, and he needs to look up!
"Okay, I'll come when I go." Zhong Liqiu put away the Classic of Mountains and Seas, slowly stood up, glanced at Wang Xiu suspiciously, and slowly walked out as if he had infinite thoughts.
The teachers and scholars present had very playful faces, and some of them looked at Wang Xiu's eyes, but they were not so friendly.
There was silence in the huge Qingwa School, everyone looked at Wang Xiu intentionally or unintentionally, and everyone had questions, why did this guy ask Mr. Zhu?
"Wang Xiu, you are a vulgar person, you don't honestly eat mixed rice, and you dare to ask Mr. for advice." At the suggestion of Zhang Qiyuan, Lu Tianshou took the case.
Wang Xiu didn't pay attention to this guy at all, and he chose to ignore the ignorant provocation.
Lu Tianshou's face changed greatly, Wang Xiu repeatedly refused to give him face, it was unbearable, he slapped the case, pointed at Wang Xiu's nose and scolded: "You guy, you are really stupid, you don't even have the courage to refute a word, it's really a waste." ”
Seeing that Wang Xiu was stumped by Zhong Liqiu, all the scholars present were a little jealous, and when they saw that Lu Tianshou had become a bird, they watched the battle one by one gloatingly, and laughed unscrupulously.
"I knew that this waste was grandstanding and wanted to show off in front of Mr., and Mr. ignored you. Hehe, waste is waste. ”
The scholars laughed again, some even echoed the will, and even a few teachers watched with interest.
Wang Xiu put down his hand, slowly stood up, looked around at his former classmates with cold eyes, and couldn't help but feel a little chilled. That "he" is naturally cowardly, not good at interacting with people, going to the Arrow Club is just a guò shooting, to hide his inner timidity, is a very pitiful and contradictory person, in fact, there are a lot of goods in his stomach, and he is not good at using expression.
But what's the point? Aren't you all classmates? Could it be that Nei Xiu is wrong in the inside? Is there never a day when a bad student will ever come out? You don't care, you take your steps, read your books, everyone doesn't interfere with each other, and you gloat in person, lest the world be chaotic. In the face of this group of cold classmates, he was really disappointed, after the disappointment was anger, and after extreme anger was calm.
"Waste? I have nothing outside my heart, what are you? Wang Xiu smiled coldly, his eyes full of sarcasm.
Lu Tianshou was stunned, he didn't fully understand what Wang Xiu meant, but he knew that the last sentence was simply a slap in the face, and he couldn't help but change his face greatly, and said angrily: "Wang Xiu, you don't know how to learn, you actually humiliate me, and you still rely on death to live and don't let go of my sister, seeing that you are a small economy in your life, hurry up and get out of with me." ”
Wang Xiu was speechless for a while, Lu Tianshou has been reading for a few years, why is there no level at all, you don't dare to come up and fight, then forget it, you are still so unlevel. are all divorced, and what are you talking about your sister-in-law, I didn't see that Zhang Qiyuan's face was dripping, it was really rotten wood that could not be carved.
Suddenly, he wanted to laugh, but he couldn't hold back and continued to stimulate: "What nonsense, the heart is the foundation of all things, everything is empty, I think it's a dog is a dog, a pig is a pig, and it will never be a pig or a dog." ”
Lu Tianshou turned into a pig's liver color, how could he know 'no external reason', but knowing that Wang Xiu scolded him, and the county school didn't dare to do it, he was really aggrieved to the extreme.
However, a few scholars stopped smiling abruptly, their faces solemn, and they were all savoring Wang Xiu's words.
Zhang Qiyuan was also secretly shocked, he was not Lu Tianshou's idiot, his knowledge even got Zhong Liqiu's "acceptable" evaluation, so he could naturally taste a thing or two, and secretly said that this nerd was amazing, did he pretend to be a pig and eat a tiger in the past? Unlikely! He stabilized his mind and smiled gracefully: "What he said is very reasonable, but it is all nonsense. ”
Wang Xiu glanced at Zhang Qiyuan, and said lightly: "Oh, please advise." ”xh118
