Lin Yuniang thought for a while and asked, "Mr. Lian's writing is extraordinary, I don't know if there are any particularly favorite articles?" ”

Even the old gentleman glanced at her: "You little doll are still interested in this?" If you want to talk about articles, Zhang Xian's writing in the south is good, and the travelogue of a young man named Zheng Wenzhan recently is also quite interesting. ”

Lin Yuniang's eyes lit up: "Is it the Mr. Zheng who wrote "Zheng Wenzhan's Travels"?" ”

"Do you know him? Is she also a talented girl? Mr. Lian asked with a smile.

Lin Yuniang saw that Mr. Lian had a kind attitude and a good temper, so she put her mind at ease and said lightly: "I have only read one of Mr. Zheng's books." ”

Mr. Lian nodded and asked, "How old are you this year?" ”

"I'm 5 years old." In fact, Lin Yuniang didn't know how she should call herself in this situation, she really didn't pay attention to this in the countryside, but after thinking about it, she was only 5 years old anyway, even if she claimed to be wrong, no one would blame her, so she just said me.

Even the old gentleman asked again: "Then what books have you read?" ”

Lin Yuniang's spirit was shocked, and she thought to herself, isn't it that Mr. Lian wants to accept her as a disciple? This is a very good thing, although in ancient times it has always been claimed that "a woman is virtuous if she is not talented", but the title of a talented woman is actually very good for women, she replied respectfully: "I am still young, and I have only read some enlightenment books." It's not that she's really so honest, like she went to the interview when she just graduated in her previous life, and it's not that she didn't lie, but now it's not as good as the future life, and it's not a loss for her not to be accepted as an apprentice by Mr. Lian, if there is any integrity problem, it will be a big trouble.

Even the old gentleman was not disappointed, Lin Yuniang guessed that he wanted to accept her as an apprentice, in fact, it was true, he had always wanted to teach a talented girl to show the world, Liu Yueshen, a talented woman in the previous dynasty, was taught by Zhao Zhi, and at the beginning of his fame, people often compared the two of them, he was arrogant, and always wanted to surpass Zhao Zhi, and now he is stronger than Zhao Zhi in all aspects, only one female apprentice is missing. Although he is now cultivating his mind and temperament, his temper is much better, but it has become a knot in his heart to accept a good female apprentice.

It's a pity that his daughter and granddaughter are either not talented enough or don't care about learning. Originally, he saw that Lin Yuniang seemed to like learning very much and seemed to be relatively smart, but he was a little interested, but he was just asking, he had to teach well, not everything that was a little clever would be accepted. Otherwise, with his fame, there would have been a few female students a long time ago. Therefore, although Lin Yuniang's answer was not what he expected, he was used to it, and genius was not so good.

Since he found out that Lin Yuniang was not a genius, he had no interest in her and drank tea by himself.

Lin Yuniang felt bad, she had actually always been a good student, and she still liked to study, and after coming to ancient times, she relaxed a lot and didn't think about it for a while. Now when I met Mr. Lian, it seemed that she intended to accept apprentices, but she took out her learning energy: "I have nothing to do and read the subset of Bible history, I read "The Mean", the first sentence is very incomprehensible, I want Mr. Lian to teach me, the predicate of destiny, the predicate of nature, the predicate of Taoism, and the predicate of cultivation."

Even the old gentleman became interested again: "Have you also read "The Mean"? ”

Lin Yuniang said embarrassedly: "I've just seen it." ”

The ancient reading is different from the modern reading, and the one that can be called read must be able to memorize, not to mention that the memorization is like a stream, you must at least be able to use it, and you will know it as soon as others say it. That's what you can call reading.

Even the old gentleman said: "That's not bad, you say, you don't understand there, don't you understand what he means?" ”

Lin Yuniang knew that the opportunity to perform had come, how could she let Mr. Lian do the work of interpretation, and said calmly: "I think what I said above seems to be reasonable, human nature is not the same as the Tao in the world, there are good people and bad people in the world, are there all Taos?" ”

Mr. Lian asked, "Do you agree with Mencius's views or Xunzi's?" ”

Lin Yuniang knew that Mr. Lian was asking her whether she agreed with "human nature is inherently good or human nature is inherently evil", so she hurriedly saluted, but she didn't dare to say that Yasheng was not: "The student thinks what the two of them said is very reasonable." She originally wanted to talk about the two saints, but no one called Xunzi a saint, so she thought about it.

Even the old gentleman shook his head, but he had a little more expectations for Lin Yuniang, Lin Yuniang said that both of them were right, in fact, it means that both of them have something wrong, but they know that they don't say it directly. As an adult, this is very normal, who dares to say that Mencius is wrong, but Lin Yuniang is only 5 years old, and she can actually be pretentious, which is very appreciated by Mr. Lian.

He said: "There is no one way in this world, but there is a way for good people to be good. Everyone's path is not the same, and the so-called avenues are myriad. ”

Lin Yuniang nodded and said thoughtfully: "The student understands." "She's just beating snakes and sticks, so that's what a student is.

Even the old gentleman didn't mind her self-proclaimed, but said, "If you're bored on the boat, you can come and sit down." ”

Lin Yuniang was overjoyed: "As long as Mr. Lian doesn't dislike it." ”

She saw that Mr. Lian began to read, so she took the opportunity to leave. Zhang Wensi sent them out and said to Lin Yuniang: "I can't see it, you are still a talented girl." ”

Although the two had a bad quarrel yesterday, Zhang Wensi saw that Mr. Lian had a good attitude towards Lin Yuniang, so he naturally couldn't have a too stiff relationship with Lin Yuniang. Lin Yuniang didn't know that Mr. Lian intended to accept female apprentices, she just guessed, but Zhang Wensi knew. If Mr. Lian really accepted Lin Yuniang as an apprentice, then it is not certain whether he, an ordinary disciple, or Lin Yuniang, the only female disciple, will be favored at that time! Although Mr. Lian accepted Zhang Wensi as a disciple, he was not a closed disciple, he still wanted to accept apprentices in the capital, with Mr. Lian's fame, ordinary disciples were really not important to him.

Lin Yuniang smiled: "I just read a few books." "That's the way it is, I have to be humble!

Zhang Wen wanted to have a good relationship with Lin Yuniang, so naturally he would not make fun of Lin Yuniang for calling him brother in front of Mr. Lian, he just didn't have such a thing, and said: "It's quite modest." Two younger sisters, walk slowly. ”

The two of them returned to their rooms, and Lin Yueniang took Lin Yuniang's hand: "Yuniang, you are so powerful!" ”

Lin Yuniang looked at Lin Yueniang's face carefully, seeing that she was indeed happy for herself, without a trace of reluctance and jealousy, and put her mind at ease: "There is really nothing powerful, I will recite that sentence in "The Mean". ”

She is very worried that Lin Yueniang is unhappy because of this, mainly because she lives with herself, anyway, she is quite small-minded, if she has always been inferior to her sister in all aspects. Suddenly stronger than herself in a certain aspect, and getting a certain big opportunity, she will definitely not be too happy, of course, she will not go to destruction, she also knows that this is not good, but her emotions are difficult to control, so the relationship between the two sisters in the previous life will not be good. Lin Yuniang looked at Lin Yueniang who was happy and proud of her without any guilt, and felt that she was really too bad to be on the stage.
