Chapter Twenty-Five: A Gentleman is Virtuous

The "Declaration Table" that Zhang Yue came in his dream.

"Declaration Table" is Zhong Xuan's famous post, and Zhong Xuan practiced words very diligently, regardless of the occasion and place, he wrote when he had time, and practiced when he had the opportunity. Sit and talk with people, and practice on the ground around you. When I rested at night, I used the quilt as paper, but after a long time, the quilt made a big hole.

However, the original post of the "Declaration Table" said that during the rebellion of the Eight Kings that year, Wang Dao sewed it in the placket of his clothes and carried it across the river, and then gave it to his nephew Wang Xizhi, who gave it to Wang Xiu. Wang Xiu liked this post very much, and buried it with him after his death.

Now the "Declaration Table" is believed to be the presence of Wang Xizhi, and is included in the Song Dynasty's royal secret collection "Chunhua Pavilion Post".

When Zhang Yue wrote the first word of the "Declaration Form", "Shang", he encountered a setback, and he was not satisfied with how he wrote it.

Zhang Yue also knew that it was because of his lack of pen power.

But fortunately, it was hard work.

In addition to talent, the most important thing in calligraphy is kung fu. Isn't Zhong Xuan extremely diligent in practicing calligraphy? Even when I was sleeping, I used my fingers to scratch the sheets, so that the quilt was torn with a big hole.

But no matter how diligent Zhong Xuan is, is he so idle?

Practicing calligraphy here, Zhang Yueyun's pen capacity is the same as usual.

On weekdays, I can't stand reading Zhang Yue for six hours, so most of the time I only read for five hours. Now Zhang Yue forced himself to write six hours of words, so he persevered.

And Zhang Yue plans to read for two hours in the future, then write for two hours, and finally read for two hours, and in the long run, he will practice for six hours before quitting.

It rained overnight in the evening.

The next day, Zhang Yue woke up, and the basin in the house was already full of rainwater.

The scene of thatched huts leaking rain has long been commonplace.

Zhang Yue dipped water in the earthen basin next to the bed, and wrote the words "Shangshu declares Sun Quan's ......" on the desk, and at first glance, his pen power has really grown slightly.

On the side, Guo Lin happened to come back from washing, and when he saw Zhang Yue practicing calligraphy so diligently, he also thought it was a good way, and then he also stretched out his finger to the earthen basin next to the bed...... After writing a few words, I didn't know it, and I put it on the tip of my tongue a little more......

Guo Lin and Zhang Yue put on their clothes, drank two bowls of porridge and went to the Zhang clan to study. Along the way, Zhang Yue saw Guo Lin frequently stretching out his fingers to rub against the bark, and somehow ......

They entered the ethnology through the back door.

When they walked from the main gate yesterday, they had already figured out the general structure of Zhang's genealogy.

After entering the gate, the left is the professor's residence, and the right is the student's dormitory. To the north through a door, that is, the day brocade hall, the front and back are cloisters, a central inkstone pond, the courtyard is planted with willows.

Behind the day dormitory is the shooting garden in the center, the northwest is the kitchen, and the northeast is the school warehouse and the study building.

Jianzhou Fuxue and Pucheng County Xuedu have special transcription offices for the purpose of helping books, and Jianzhou Fuxue even prints books for profit according to local conditions, and collects money to help students.

Today, they entered through the small gate in the northwest corner, where the cooks came and went, and when they passed the shooting garden, they saw that many ethnic students had already practiced shooting here.

The scholars of the Song Dynasty still had the ancient style of the Han and Tang dynasties, the southerners practiced archery, and the northerners rode horses.

Then they came to the door of the court, and the minister of the court opened the door for them.

Inside the loft is the school warehouse and the study building, and a minister is in charge of it on weekdays.

The minister was a young man in his fifties, with a straight face and a look of no one to disturb.

"You're here to copy books?"

"Yes." Guo Lin saluted respectfully.

"Well, this is it. You are not allowed to go upstairs, and you are not allowed to drink water and light candles in the pavilion. Before leaving the pavilion, you must inform me, and Fang Yun will leave, even if you go out, you need to do the same......"

Guo Lin said: "Yes." ”

"Everything here is up to me, you can't object, otherwise you will be kicked out!" The ministry spoke harshly.

There are two floors in the library, and they transcribe the manuscripts on the lower floor. The study room is very small, with only two low tables, a reed mat and a pen, ink, paper, and inkstone. If you copy a book for a day here, you won't be able to stand it.

The ministry gave a few more commands, went upstairs to get the book, locked the door, and left.

Facing the pen, ink and paper on the table, Zhang Yue understood with empathy why Ban Chao shouted the sentence 'Husband An Neng long-term pen inkstone' at the moment.

Zhang Yue first studied the ink and poured water to prepare, and after a while, the ministry came here and took a stack of manuscripts for Guo Lin to transcribe, but Zhang Yue did not have a draft.

Zhang Yue was stunned for a moment and said, "What is this?" ”

If you don't write a single word, you won't have any income.

"Senior brother, do you want a helper?" After sitting for a while, Zhang Yue asked Guo Lin, who was struggling to write.

Guo Lin glanced at Zhang Yue and said, "No need." ”

Guo Lin's words were a little cold, and it seemed that he was still angry with yesterday.

Zhang Yue couldn't stand the smell of dust in the house, so he walked outside the door to breathe, and happened to see the minister sitting at the attic door holding a book and reading it.

At such an old age, he is still so diligent in studying!

Why there are many librarians from ancient times to the present, Zhang Yue is a little clear.

Zhang Yue walked back to the room again, and heard Guo Lin frowning and said, "Senior brother, can you stop walking around like this......

Guo Lin felt that his words were a little heavy, and said in a softened tone: "I know...... Yesterday shouldn't have been like this...... You don't have a job at the moment, you may have offended the fasting chief, and I will go with him in a while to make amends for him. ”

Zhang Yue said: "Senior brother, we don't have to apologize. ”

Guo Lin said: "If you don't want to apologize, I'll apologize." When you first arrive, you have to be patient. ”

Zhang Yue suddenly said: "Senior brother, I have learned something from reading Yi recently. ”

"How?"

Zhang Yue said: "The experience is 'the terrain is good, and the gentleman carries things with virtue'." The I Ching uses the Qiangua to resemble the sky and the Kun hexagram to resemble the earth. Between the Qiankun, that is, one yin and one yang, these are like husband and wife, monarchs and ministers, hosts and guests, teachers and students, and masters......

Therefore, when the gentleman is on the throne, you are the husband, the monarch, and the father, you should be self-reliant, and you should not count on others. When a gentleman is in a guest position, such as a wife, courtier, or son, you should be a moral person, as tolerant as possible, and cooperate with the lord. ”

In fact, Zhang Yue's experience comes from the school motto of Wudaokou Vocational and Technical College, self-improvement and virtue.

Guo Lin stopped his pen and said, "Do you want to use the Kun hexagram to talk about your current situation?" ”

Zhang Yue said with a smile: "It is worthy of being a senior brother, you can understand it as soon as you hear it, the Kun hexagram corresponds to the Qiangua, which can be referred to today." When we first arrived, we were guests. ”

"Kun hexagram Yuanheng is a good hexagram, there are clouds on the hexagram, the gentleman has a future, first lose and then gain, the intention is that we are waiting for you to insist."

Guo Lin nodded and said, "There is some truth in that, you can talk about the words again." ”

Zhang Yue said: "The change from the six pillars is the change of the road. On the sixth day of the first month, the frost is frosty, and the ice is cold. Just like when we first entered the guest seat, just as the senior brother just said that we have just arrived, at this moment, it seems that 'our feet are on the frost, and there is ice below', you and I are uncomfortable. ”

"Sixty-two, the straight side is big, and there is no disadvantage if you don't get used to it. Although you and I are new to the throne, we have no conflict of interest with the lord for the time being, and it will not be unfavorable to you, so you can rest assured. ”

"Sixty-three, including chapter Kezhen, or from the king's business, there is no end. Or the same sentence, I wait as a guest, treat people with virtue, you insist, you do what the host tells you to do, do not seek merit but seek the end. ”

Guo Lin patted his legs and laughed: "Senior brother has a point. What's changing? How to solve the six-four, six-five, and upper six? ”

Zhang Yue thought for a while and said: "The first three lines of the six lines are guest hexagrams, and the last three lines are the main hexagrams. June Fourth is from the guest to the master. ”

"June Fourth, inclusive, no blame and no reputation. At this time, you and I have already entered the master from the guest, like half a master, but on the contrary, we should be more cautious, don't talk nonsense, and it is best to have no merit and no fault.

"Six-five, Huangshang, Yuanji. At this time, it is already like the prime minister among the monarchs and ministers, the hostess of the family presided over by the husband, and the proud disciple of the teacher, this is the most harmonious time between the host and the guest. The five lines are meritorious hexagrams. ”

"On the sixth, the dragon fights in the wild, and its blood is yellow. At this time, the host and guest are transposed, the minister is on the king, and the hen Si Chen will fight with the original master's family. ”

Guo Lin laughed when he heard this: "Interesting, interesting." ”

Zhang Yue said: "Therefore, it is said that 'Kun Dao is obedient, and it is timely. There will be more than celebration in the house of goodness, and there will be more than disaster in the house of inadequacy. The minister kills his king, and the son kills his father, not overnight, and its origin is gradually decided, and the argument is not early'. ”

"This sentence can be said to be the conclusion of the kun hexagram."

Zhang Yue didn't expect that he was just talking casually, but he memorized a belly of the I Ching hexagrams, and the article, like a back-to-hand view, gradually became clear and understood.

Zhang Yue remembered that this year seemed to have flashed in a dream last night, and now ......

The knowledge of the I Ching turned out to be neither profound nor mysterious, but it was so simple and clear.

Just as Zhang Yue was talking to Guo Lin, the ministry outside the door stood outside the house and listened to the half-sound stroking of his beard and smiling, revealing an expression that there was something wrong with this son.

Zhang Yue chatted with Guo Lin for a while, and Guo Lin continued to be busy. He was also bored, and immediately had a sleepy attack and fell asleep.

It didn't take long, but listen to the bang!

Zhang Yue was woken up, and when he opened his eyes, he saw Zhang Heng standing in front of him.

Zhang Heng said: "Actually sleeping day and night? I really don't know how your husband teaches on a daily basis? ”

Zhang Yue glanced at Guo Lin, but saw that his face was full of shame, and he was very embarrassed.

Zhang Yue said: "Zhai Chang, I don't know the rule that I can't sleep in the Dayjin Hall. The elder did not arrange anything, so I had to nourish my spirit. ”

Dayjin Hall can't sleep daytime, of course, this can be understood in reverse.

Zhang Yue is not a person who does not hold grudges, Zhang Heng was arrogant to himself twice and three times yesterday and today, and once it was okay, how could he bear it if he didn't go back today?

Even if you don't have a temper, you have the gas to get up.

Zhang Heng didn't expect Zhang Yue to dare to choke himself, and he couldn't help but be angry.

At this time, the ministry outside the door entered and said, "Chief, Mr. seems to have something to look for you!" ”

Zhang Heng nodded, then threw a stack of papers on Zhang Yue's table and said, "You have copied all of these, if you can't copy them today, you won't use them tomorrow." ”

After speaking, Zhang Heng brushed his sleeves and left.

On the side, Guo Lin stepped forward to persuade Zhang Yue and said, "How can you say it?" Frost, ice to. For the first time, let's take our time as a guest. What are you angry with him? ”

"That's what Senior Brother said."

Zhang Yue then saluted the ministry and said, "Thank you for breaking the siege." ”

The ministry stopped, turned around, and did not deny it, but said: "Xiao Langjun is a smart man, but I advise you to restrain your temper, otherwise it will not be long here." ”

"Thank you, sir, boy, remember."
